How can I import an image without Motion 5 changing its proportions?

I have an image that's intentionally larger than the canvas size (1080x1920) in Motion 5. Every time I import it or drag it to the timeline, Motion automatically squeezes the image to fit the canvas proportions. I know I can go and adjust the width of the image to get it back closer to its correct proportions, but I'm going to be importing multiple images like this will add a ton of extra (and non-precise) work.
Is there a setting to change this?

I've tried that. The properties show that it is at 100%, and I have to stretch it out further than 100% in order for the proportions to look normal again. I've also selected "Do Nothing" in Preferences and it doesn't make a difference. It seems that option is for scaling images that are larger than the project pixel dimensions, but it still squishes my imported images.
Since this was a relatively simple animation, I just did the scene in Final Cut and then brought it back into my Motion project as a Quicktime movie. I would think such a workaround shouldn't be necessary though.

How can I import formatted text without iWeb changing it into png files?

I have a resume page on my site and just realized it has changed into png files.
The formatting is time consuming and I'd rather not have to reformat in iWeb to keep this from happening. Any ideas?
Thanks, David http://web.mac.com/phelpssculpture/iWeb

Kyn,
I tried that and it does stay text, but for the life of me I can't get the formatting to be consistent. Everything looks fine in Text edit as well as iWeb, but once published whether to .mac or to a folder on my own computer, the formatting goes whacky, some things are out of alignment but I don't know why. I can see in the code that the spacing is wrong but I can't figure out why.

How can I attach an image without the image is in the email body? (using the new mail the Lion)

How can I attach an image without the image is in the email body? (using the new mail the Lion)
I want in attachment, not in the body mail.

I think your only solution is to zip the image files first and then attach them.
Read this from a site I found:
Sending Graphical Attachments -- When you attach a graphical image to your message, the recipient of your message sees the image inline (that is, in the body of the message) if her email client supports inline display. ("Take Control of Email with Apple Mail" contains a table listing the capabilities of popular Mac and PC email clients.) If a client does not support inline display (or the recipient has turned off the inline display option), the file appears as an attachment that must be opened in a separate program.
On the one hand, an inline image is easier for the recipient to see - all she has to do is look at it. On the other hand, inline images can be frustrating to scroll through. If you do not wish to send a graphical image inline, you must compress the file before attaching it - Mail, sadly, lacks a built-in compression option, though fortunately for Panther users, the Finder offers Zip compression without requiring a separate application.
Note that when you compose a new message, Mail always shows attachments in the body of your message. You can manually drag them somewhere else, but many email clients display all attachments in a separate list, regardless of where you place them in the message body.
If you paste an image into a message or drag & drop an image from another window (say, a Web browser), Mail converts the raw image data to an attachment in TIFF format. On the other hand, if you drag & drop the icon of an image file (or use the Attach button to locate the file using the file browser), Mail leaves the attached image in its original format. This difference is significant, because although most email clients can display JPEG images just fine, support for TIFF - especially in non-Mac email clients - is less common. If possible, I suggest attaching image files as opposed to pasting or dragging in raw image data.

How can I resize an image without losing resolution or using the crop tool? I am using Photoshop Elements 13 on a PC.

How can I resize an image without losing resolution or using the crop tool? I am using Photoshop Elements 13 on a PC.

Hi Peru Bob,
I've tried two images, the results were:
Image 1
Jpg, original file size 923KB, dimensions 848px x 279px.
After resizing to 848px x 180px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 164KB.
Image 2
Jpg, original file size 809KB, dimensions 1200px x 1800px.
After resizing to 668px x 722px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 307KB.
So, there seems to be a fair file size loss - is this to be expected?

How can I put another image without its associated sound on an audio (without its image) ?

IMovie 11 : how can I put one image without its associated sound on an audio (without its image) ? thanks

Hi
As iMovie doesn't orient after Time - but only after Video/Photo clips is this not so easy to do.
I use black photos as Dummy clips - and put them into a new project first
then I add the Music I want
Then I drop the Video-clip (that I realy want) ontop of the black dummy photo - Where it's supposed to be - THEN IF advanced tools are selected (in iMovie preferences) there will be a Drop-Down menu and here I can select to do a Cutaway - and select not to add the audio from it (or in wave-form just silence it out)

How can I import a folder without having to import one photo at a time? I have many folders and thousands of pictures!

I have thousands of pictures in various folders on my computer. How do I import the "folders" without having to import one photo at a time?

Where is the problem?
You simply select the folder and check the option to import subfolders if you want. Then use the 'get media' button.

How can I import selected images from a folder instead of the whole folder in iPhoto 9.5.2?

Hi there,
I was trying to help my parents import some photos from a folder they have created with photos from their holiday. They only want to import select images from this folder into iPhoto. I said it would be easy and they can do it in 2 ways. First, they can drag and drop selected photos from their folder into iPhoto - and this works for them. However, more convieniently, they can click file>import to Library and then select the photos they want by going into the folder... Well that's how it works on my iPhoto '11 at least. When they showed me their screen via Skype (they are running iPhoto 9.5.2), when they click import to library, and try to go into the folder containing their photos, it imports the whole thing and there appears to be no way that they can enter the folder to select just a few photos from what I could see.
Does anyone know anything aout this problem?
Cheers.

What view are using in the Import dialogue. Column view might be easiest to navigate.

How can I import scanned images into InDesign CS5 using Mac10.6?

I want to be able to import scanned images. What file format must I save the data in?

Greg Parks L.A. wrote:
For example, to print on a press you need images that are CMYK at 300 ppi, 100% scale. If you're just making office-quality documents or PDFs, you can use RGB images at a lower resolution.
You do not need images to be CMYK for print. InDesign can handle the conversion from RGB to CMYK when exporting to PDF. The old rule of thumb that images for print need to be 300 ppi is history. The ideal minimum resolution is halftone screen times the square root of 2 (1.41421356). But you can get away with a lower resolution for most images.

How can I close a document without saving changes?

I'm using Pages 4.3 with OS10.9.1.
Before I upgraded to OS10.9.1, when I closed a document (Command W) it asked me first if I want to save the changes I'd made to the document. I had the option of saving or not saving.
Sometimes I want to close a document without saving the changes, for example if I edit a text, then decide I prefer the unedited version.
But now that I'm using OS10.9.1, when I close a document, it automatically saves any changes I've made.
How can I get back to the original option of saving or not saving changes when I close a document? This option was available with the same version of Pages, when used with an earlier OS.
I've searched the Pages Users Guide, but can't find any answer, or default settings. Pages Preferences doesn't seem to address this.
I'm not using track changes, so I don't think that's the problem.
Any solutions would be greatly appreciated!

[Viking: I am using v4.3. ... See my orginal post.]
But I found the solution, for anyone else who is having the same problem....
Open your computer's System Preferences > General, and click the box "Ask to keep changes when closing documents."
Now, when you close a document in Pages, a window will open giving you the option of saving changes or not.
(I don't know whether this works in Pagesv.5., buty it works with v.4.3)

How can I get still images without blurring?

Hi,
I've found several threads on this topic. But none of them helped. Most discussions justs ended without resolution. Some had a lot of technical questions and details that I didn't understand.
Can someone please tell me how to do the following...
Add a still picture. In fact, that's all I have now -- no movie, just one still picture.
Play the picture in the timeline or in the event window without blurring.
If I need to prepare the image first, please tell me exactly what to do. I have Photoshop. I fooled around with increasing the resolution by a lot, and that did help some.
The picture in this case is a screen capture of a window with text in it.
My purpose is to make an animated Christmas card to be sent via email and watched on whatever monitor a person might have.
Thanks a lot for any help!

I found the answer in this thread -- "https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3775900?start=0&tstart=0"
The method for finding it was this Google search:
site:discussions.apple.com fcpx blurred
It would be nice if somehow all the relevant threads could be made available when needed. The "More Like This" window is pretty useless -- it doesn't restrict itself to the community.
The answer (copied from the above thread):
Go to:

How can I link an image without leaving the existing window in adobe acrobat??

Hi everybody
I'm new using adobe acrobat, but I saw (once) that in a manual, they linked a image.
Just by passing the mouse over the linked word, the image appears "over" the pdf, without leaving the existing window
Is this still possible?? and How??
Thanks for your help

If you need to do it very often, I've developed a web-service that allows
you to enter a phrase (let's say "Product 1"), and have an image "pop-up"
whenever the user hovers or clicks that phrase in your document. Contact me
personally for more information.

How can I scale an image without it becoming blurry?

I'm following this tutorial on youtube and I'm doing everything he says, but when I scale the image it becomes blurry on mine and his was still perfect.

Rick is correct, but there are some features that can give better results than the default scaling:

http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2013/06/bicubic-resampling-for-improved-scaling-and-ot her-transformations-in-after-effects.html
By the way, it helps if you give a lot more information when asking a question. We have no idea what you've tried so far, and we don't even know what version of After Effects you're using.

How can i draw an image without using applet,because my programme will be used on the server.
Thank you.

you could try this to create the hidden image
try
          GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
          GraphicsDevice gs = ge.getDefaultScreenDevice();
          GraphicsConfiguration gc = gs.getDefaultConfiguration();
          offImage = gc.createCompatibleImage(100, 100);
          offG = offImage.getGraphics();
      catch(Exception e)
          System.out.println(e.getMessage());
      }

How do I import an image directly from the internet without printing and scanning it in first?

How do I import an image directly from the internet without printing and scanning it in first?

You can also Ctrl click on the image, save the image to your desktop and open it in Photoshop.
1.
2.
3. Open in Photoshop by double-clicking on the saved image on your Desktop or Cmd o in Photoshop.
I don't see any point to copying and pasting from a browser into a new file in Photoshop.
If you want to put an image onto an already open image in Photoshop, use the File > Place... command and select your saved image.

Premiere CS5 import avi clips without sound. How can I import avi clips with sound without convert?

Dear Adobe Forum,
I have the following problem, please help:
I would like to import avi clips in adobe premiere. All clips have the same avi codec. But unfortunately my adobe premiere does not import the sound of a few
avi clips. It is wired because about 10 out 70 avi clips which have all the same avi codec does not work with sound in premiere CS5. In the timline premiere import the video and audio line but there are no audio waves in the about 10 avi clips. additonally premiere plays the 10 avi clips in the source monitor without sound. Furthermore when I open the 10 avi files without adobe premiere they have sound, but with premiere there are no sound in the 10 avi clips.
What can I do, so that I can import all avi files with sound. I do not want to convert each of the avi files because then they have not a good quality and it is to complicated and it takes to much time to convert all files in this video project and in the other video project in my future.
Consequently How can I import all avi files so that they have immediately sound? Do I have to change some premiere settings?
Thank you in advance
Leonardo

Consequently, as you can see, they have both nearly the same information
Both video clips have the following audio codec:
AAC
In the folder where all raw video clips exist there are a few new files with the codec ending: .AVD ("the name of the file".AVD)
But the 2 video clips mentioned above does not have any files like .AVD oder something else like that. But the first one works and the second one doesnt work.
