How Can I Clean up Imported Bitmap Images

Hi, I am using Flash 5. I have imported a sequence of .png images and they are looking pretty rough and bitmapped so I wanted to clean them up.
1. Do I have to select each frame after import and adjust the bitmap settings for each image or can I doo this somewhere so it affects al images?
2. I can’t find the settings for cleaning up the bitmap images. I thought they would be in the “Properties” panel?
3. Is there a way to fix the rasterization or clean up an imported .swf or is it better to clean up the sequence before saving as an .swf?

Ideally you should have images cleaned up/ properly sized / optimized before you import them into Flash.  Once they are in Flash, one thing you can do that can help how the image displays, especially if you manipulate its size while in Flash, is to set the image to allow smoothing.  This can be set using code or can be manually applied to the image in the library by right clicking it, selecting Properties, and checking the option to Allow Smoothing.
Thanks Ned,
Wow, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. A huge improvement in the look of the gradients.

  • How can I clean up an outline image?

    Hi there I have an outline image of 4 jigsaw pieces which are
    a little blurry and rough around the edges including some of the
    original color that was in the image.
    Can anyone suggest how or where I can read how to:
    a) select the outlines and clean them up so that they look
    new or freshly drawn.
    b) or where can I fond a tutorial that shows how to create
    jigsaw pieces.
    Note that the image only has a black outline of 4 jigsaw
    pieces. No color, backgrounds or anything else.
    Thanks & cheers

    I'd use the Pen tool to re-trace the outlines as four
    separate shapes.
    Then you can control the edge using the Stroke options.
    If you're not too handy with the pen tool, try selecting the
    inside of
    one piece using the Magic Wand, then going to Select >
    Convert Marquee
    to Path.
    Lather, rinse, repeat with the other three.

  • I have duplicative song files in my library that are grayed out.  This seems to cause a syncing problem to my ipod or iphone.  How can I clean up this mess?

    I chose to let iTunes rearrange my files and it appears to have duplicated them in my computer's drive.  So now I have the same folders/files directly under my D drive (second computer hard drive) and also in the iTunes Music Folder that iTunes created.  Wasn't sure what to do so I did another import and now I have files in my library that are grayed out with the small i symbol in the circle next to them.  I also have the working (bolded) files too.  How can I clean this up?

    Is there a way to override the 256kbps "conversion" when uploading to iCloud? 
    No. All music that is mirrored in the cloud will be AAC@256 Kbps.
    Musicman05 wrote:
    Along the same lines, if I "download" a song from my library to my iPhone, then plug my iPhone into my computer and sync the song file from my computer, will the higher quality original file overwrite the 256 one? 
    No, because with iTunes Match enabled on an iOS device traditional syncing of music via USB is disabled. All music management is done directly on the device.

    Also, if I want to syncronize another computer using iTunes match, how can I get the higher quality audio files?  Will I simply have to transport all of them by an exernal hard drive or thumb drive?
    You will first have to copy the high-quality audio files to the computer, add them to the iTunes library then enable iTunes Match.

  • How can I clean up old footage in FCPX?

    How can I clean up old footage in FCPX? I have some older 4x3 TV analog video that has some pretty noticeable noise and fuzz in the image. Anyone know how I can clean them up a bit? Thanks!

    FCP X doesn't ship with a noise reduction filter. You can experiment with selective blur effects and sharpening, but I would not be very optimistic about the results.
    There are a number of plug-ins available. One that I think works well is Neat Denoiser. They have a trial  version (with watermarked output) that you could download to see whether it will do what you want.
    Good luck.

  • How can I clean up queue one-time on Sun Java system messaging 6.3

    Hi,
    <address>Our Email server have a problem, When I run _./imsimta qm directory tcp_local_, There are about 5 Millions of messages in the queue.</address>
    Now our Email server send messages very slowly, how can I clean up queue one-time?
    the command _./imsimta qclean_ is very slowly.
    What can I do to prevent this problem?
    our Email server version is :
    Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.3-6.03 (built Mar 14 2008; 32bit)
    libimta.so 6.3-6.03 (built 17:12:37, Mar 14 2008; 32bit)
    SunOS email-1 5.10 Generic_120011-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V890
    Thank you !

    If you have more than 100,000 messages in the queue, then look at the MAX_MESSAGES parameter in [the job_controller.cnf file|http://wikis.sun.com/display/CommSuite/Job+Controller+Configuration+File]. If the parameter is not specified, it defaults to 100000. If you have more than that number of messages in the channel queues, it will take a long time for new/legitimate messages to be sent because job_controller is only considering the first 100,000 messages in the queue.
    If you get into the "imsimta qm" command do do "sum -database", it will show a summary of what job_controller has in its internal cache and therefore what job_controller is working on. If you compare that to "sum -directory" you will probably see a difference.
    If these are all legitimate messages, you need to increase MAX_MESSAGES, cnbuild, and restart job_controller.
    If they are not, then preventing this in the future will require determining how they got into your queue and correcting that.
    As for removing them, the "imsimta qm" commands allow you to select messages by various criteria and then you can "return" or "delete" them. But yes, that will take a long time if there are many messages because it is a single threaded process and it needs to open and examine each message. You may be able to accomplish the task more quickly with a shell script that works on individual channel queue subdirectories and then run multiple copies of that script in parallel. After you have cleaned out the queue, restart job_controller.
    Also, you might want to consider [the subdirs channel keyword|http://msg.wikidoc.info/index.php/Subdirs_and_nosubdirs_Channel_Options].

  • I was running Firefox on another computer that lost it's motherboard, was able to salvage the harddrive, but my mail files on the older hard drive have a different name, how can I pull or import those older files into firefox running on another computer?

    I had been running other email clients for years and finally switched to Firefox. All the while importing my other email folders. So I had quite a large history of email. I had been backing up my system using Acronis for years. My desktop's motherboard crashed and was not worth repairing. I pulled my desktop hard drive and turned it in a standalone drive. I re-established my email on a laptop starting from scratch using Firefox. I would like to import (if possible) the emails history that is stored on the standalone drive (formerly my old hard drive). However, the names of the mail folders on the drives are different. For example: current computer the mail folder is named garlic.com. On the standalone drive (old hard drive) there are several folders and they are named, for instance; mail.garlic.com, mail.garlic-1.com , and so forth. it goes up through garlic-4.com.
    How can I pull or import these older folders into my current email folder and see all my old email archives?

    You are not going to be able to run your old system from the backup on this old computer as the hardware is incompatible.
    You need to get a new computer or a refurbished one.

  • How can i export a series of images in different aspect ratios to the same height

    How can i export a series of images in different aspect ratios to the same height?
    I wish to make a slider callery for my website. all the images need to be 750 Pixels high, the width does not matter.  I have a mixture of square pandscap and protraite images can i do thing as one export or do i have to do it twice?  Once for long edge and once for shot edge?
    Thanks

    Yes, you can but there is a trick to it.
    In the Export Dialog under <Image Sizing> select Widdth & Height.
    Then enter 750 pixels for Height.
    Put your cursor into the Width field behind all the numbers that appear there and with the backspace key delete the numbers. If you enter "0" it will not accept that. But it accepts when you just delete the field for Width with the backspace key. The Width field will now be just blank.
    When you then export all image will  have a height of 750 pixels and the width will fall variously according to thne height / width ratio.
    Or alternatively you can enter 7.5" for height at a resolution of 100 ppi.

  • How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

    How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

    If you want Muse to "pass through" your images and not adjust, compress, crop etc - you need to place your images in the lightbox EXACTLY at the right size, pre-cropped and prepped in Photoshop.
    So if your light box is 800x600 the image you're dropping into that must be 800x600 exactly with no effects, rotation etc added to the lightbox frame. This stop Muse fiddling with your images, if they are perfect when inserted and you're not asking Muse to crop, expand, add effects etc. If it's perfect when inserted, Muse SHOULD also leave the resolution alone too, but I have not tried that one, but in theory, it should work.

    It sounds like you are talking about the cloning tool?
    Tool looks like this:
    Then when selected you can change the size of the brush and using Alt (windows) and Command (Mac) to select your region you want to copy then start to create you cloned image.
    Hope this helps?

  • With journaling, I have found that my computer is saving a large amount of data, logs of all the changes I make to files; how can I clean up these logs?

    With journaling, I have found that my computer is saving a large amount of data, logs of all the changes I make to files; how can I clean up these logs?
    For example, in Notes, I have written three notes; however if I click on 'All On My Mac' on the side bar, I see about 10 different versions of each note I make, it saves a version every time I add or delete a sentence.
    I also noticed, that when I write an email, Mail saves about 10 or more draft versions before the final is sent.
    I understand that all this journaling provides a level of security, and prevents data lost; but I was wondering, is there a function to clean up journal logs once in a while?
    Thanks

    Are you using Microsoft word?  Microsoft thinks the users are idiots. They put up a lot of pointless messages that annoy & worry users.  I have seen this message from Microsoft word.  It's annoying.
    As BDaqua points out...
    When you copy information via edit > copy,  command + c, edit > cut, or command +x, you place the information on the clipboard. When you paste information, edit > paste or command + v, you copy information from the clipboard to your data file.
    If you edit > cut or command + x and you do not paste the information and you quite Word, you could be loosing information.  Microsoft is very worried about this. When you quite Word, Microsoft checks if there is information on the clipboard & if so, Microsoft puts out this message.
    You should be saving your work more than once a day. I'd save every 5 minutes.  command + s does a save.
