How do I make selective screenshot images in cells the same size?

I am putting together a spreadsheet to list the purchasing options for our company from some of the Mac mini models but have a problem with image sizes in spreadsheet cells.
First I took screenshots of each of the price and spec panels of the self-configured options I was interested in recommending using CmdCtrl+Shift4 to save the screenshot to the clipboard. Next, I highlighted the cell into which the image was destined to go and clicked Cmd+V and the image appeared in the cell (as an image fill for background colour). I repeated this process for six different Mac minis, being careful to start and finish the crosshairs in exactly the same place for each option. Each of these images had been lifted from a separate Tab in Safari 4.0.5 and appeared to be identically sized.
The problem is, when placed in the spreadsheet cell grid, each image was either higher or lower than the one next to it, yet all cells were the exact same size. Some images appeared to be centred in the cell, others appeared to be top aligned.
Can anyone help me to understand why this happens, and to give a suggestion on how to avoid it in the future?
TIA

OK, my mistake! The images were not the same size because the specs were different for each one, meaning that the info boxes were of different heights. When I copied them again, using the coordinates to ensure the screenshots were exactly the same size this time (rather than adding on a fixed width to the outside of the boxes) the problem was solved.
Sometimes it's the user not the tools that has the problem!
Having said that, it would be useful if the images were not background fills, but images that you could highlight because that would show quite quickly the size of each one - and allow you to add a background colour to a column to indicate a category type.
Thanks for your help!

How do i make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to put the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. Any help?

How do I make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to convert the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. On windows movie maker you could just select "fit to music" but this program isnt as easy to figure out! Any help?

Double-click on the still image in the project timeline to open the Inspector. In the Inspector, adjust the duration by typing in a new duration to match the length of your music. I think the limit for a still image is 10 minutes. If you need more than this, simply drag the image into the timeline again then adjust its duration. The two images will play seamlessly (no gap will be visible).
See this iMovie Help topic:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a883915
You can achieve more precision when entering durations by changing a preference in the menu item iMovie Preferences. Check (tick) the preference for Show Time As HH:MM:SS:frames. This will enable you to enter the duration of stills down to the frame level, rather than full seconds (NTSC is 30 frames per second; PAL is 25 fps). When entering times, type a colon between each time segment, such as 2:50:15, which represents 2 minutes 50 seconds and 15 frames. For 5 seconds 20 frames you would enter 5:20 and so forth.
Note that the music will only run to the length of the video in the timeline (in your case, the still images). So, after increasing the stills duration you will need to drag the end of the music track as far as required. The stills can be dragged inwards to reduce the duration if necessary.

EDiscovery_SharePoint 2013_After a set of content is placed on hold in a location, how do I make sure that anything added to the same location

Hi everyone,
After a set of content is placed on hold in a location, how do I make sure that anything added to the same location,that meets the filter (e.g. keyword) gets added to the hold automatically ?
Right now the only way I can do this is to take off the hold ,re-apply the filter to the source and then enable the hold. That isn't sustainable.

@arcycapa,
If you have a Mac, you can download iDentify2 (http://identify2.arrmihardies.com/). It is free. You can use that change or set your contentRating. If you are on Windows, there is a commercial tool called MetaX. or download a free command line tool called AtomicParsley from (https://bitbucket.org/wez/atomicparsley). Unzip the file and run this command (AtomicParsley "C:/Users/Home Videos/name of the file.mp4" --contentRating R) from the DOS prompt without the parenthesis. Please keep in mind the forward slash in the path name listed above. This would generate a temp file. You can rename the temp file to the original file name. Just a word of caution, please make a copy of your original file somewhere. Just in case.

How can I make my computer restart with all the same windows that were open when a shut it down?

How can I make my computer restart with all the same windows that were open when a shut it down?

That is the way Mac OS X 10.8 (aka Mountain Lion) works by default. Are you actually running that system? (See About This Mac in the Apple menu.) If so, make sure the check box in the shut down alert is checked:

HT5097 How can I make more than one backup at the same time

I use time machine to backup my mac. I want to also make an additional backup on a different hard drive in case the first drive fails. How do I do that?

I suggest you do not use Time Machine for the second backup. Instead, I suggest cloning your drive to a different backup drive using different backup software.
Your secon drive should be the same size as your computer's drive. Start by using Disk Utility's Restore option to clone your computer's drive to the new backup drive:
Clone Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
         button.
     2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
     3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
     4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
         to the Destination entry field.
     5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
         the Source entry field.
     6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
After this initial clone you can use other backup software suggested below to make incremental updates to the backup. These incremental updates can be done on a regular schedule.
Suggested Backup Software
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Others may be found at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
The two backups need not be done on the same schedule. Time Machine backsup hourly. The other backup could be done on a daily or even weekly schedule.

How do I make Organizer and Editor open at the same time?

I'm new to PSE 10 and want to know how to make Organizer and Editor open at the same time. I can get the Organizer up, but have to pick out a photo and click on Fix: Full Photo Edit to get Editor to open. Is that the only way to do it?
Thanks,
K

Create Desktop shortcuts for the Organizer and the Editor:
The Editor's executable is:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
The Organizer's executable is:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"

How Can I replace an image and save the same size as the previous?

I want to replace an image in a PDF, but I would like to keep the same size, and location as the previous. I have tried to to it, but the new image takes a different size.
This is a PDF exported from an InDesign template.

Thank you.
The problem is that the person to edit the PDF doesn´t have ID and doesn't know how to use it.
The idea is that the design department create very sharp ID templates for people from other departments of the company only have to replace information (text and image).
We are looking for a program to edit PDF files and function as templates forreplacement information.

How do i get a still image to fade the same way and at the same time as a video?

I have a video stacked on top of a still image. When i add a transition, the still turns to a black screen while the video fades in accordance to the transition. How do i get the still image to fade the same way and at the same time as the video?

I do. I've applied it to both the still image and the video. Say i used the lens flare transition. If i apply it to both the video and the still image, the video will dissolve in to the next frame, but the still image will go to a black screen and then jump to the next frame. Its almost as if i inserted a black frame instead of a transition, but only for 2 seconds. Below is kind of a peek what it looks like.

Adjusting multiple images to be the same size?

Hi,
I'm trying to create a photo collage in Photoshop that consist of multiple photos imported as Smart Objects into layers, that are all the same size. Ideally, I'd like to be able size/crop/scale each image as a group, or individually, on the fly. So lets say that I have 6 images as Smart Objects on layers, and that they are all of varying sizes, and I'd like to adjust each image to be the same precise size, 2" x 3". Maybe later I decide that they should all be 2.5" x 3."5, can I easily change all 6 images at once? I've tried going into Free Transform and changing the size of each individual image here, but I can't get the precise size that I want. Is there a way that I can open a dialog box, and specify the exact size? Can I then repeat this for all images/layers that I've selected?
I hope this makes sense, and that someone has a brilliant idea on how to do this?
Thanks!
Jeff

Image Processor doesn't get me what I'm after.
Photoshop has the option to create a contact sheet. So imagine that I want to create a contact sheet of images, but keep them on separate layers, and be able to change the size of the images as I feel, to fit my collage.

Replacing Images with ones the same size

Interested to find out if there's a facility or some coding
you can use that lets you resize an image to that of the previous
image in a particular table, so as to not affect the rest of the
page. Looking to do this automatically, without the use of any
image editing software.
Thanks

When you swap images, the incoming image is 'squeezed' to fit
within the
outgoing image's dimensions. There are three ways to
workaround this -
1. Do not use a dimension in the outgoing image's code, e.g.,
<img src="whatever.jpg>
This will allow the incoming image to be displayed at its
native size. But,
the downside is that your page will 'jiggle' to adapte to
that new size if
it's significantly different. This may, or may not, be a
consideration for
your page/needs.
2. Make both images the same size by adding canvas to the
smaller
dimensions so that the dimensions in both height and width
are the same.
This is usually the best way to handle such issues.
3. Don't use image swaps at all - use hidden page elements,
and display
them as needed, perhaps with the Show/Hide Element behavior.

How can I make my footer image stick to the bottom?

Hi,
I'm currently making a website and idk why the footer background wont stay on the bottom of the page.
http://www.maskedrooster.com/leango/index.html
I tried using the pin option but it overlaps the content if it is larger than the screen size.
Thanks,

Okay, select the stage and switch the height from "px" to "%" by clicking on it.
Select the footer symbol, and then click on the lower left or lower right positioning symbol (the little corner boxes under "Position and Size).
That's it!

HT1373 How can I make all of my devices use the same iTunes library?

I have an iMac, Macbook Air, Macbook, iPad, iPhone and an iTouch. So, as you can imagine, I have many devices that need to be on the same page at all times. I take my Air to campus with me and use it for classes, along with my iPad, so I usually plug my iPad into my laptop for updates, dowloads, transfers, charging, etc... The same with my iPhone. However, when I get home and I plug my iPad or iPhone into my iMac, it does this whole (This iPad is currently synced to another library, would you like to Erase & Sync to this library). No. I want my Air and iMac to be the same so I can plug my devices up to either of them without having to worry about erasing or adding anything that I don't want erased or added.
How, if at all, can I accomplish this?
Thanks!

You can't. An iOS device can still be synced with only one computer. That is making sense have it referer to multiple files from your computer (backup, iTunes medias, sync information).
As you will only sync your iOS with one computer, it is iCloud you need to use to keep all your content in sync. While on the go, you use your iPad for a purchase for exemple, iCloud will allow you to push that purchase to all your devices automatically. Though, it doesn't mean that it will sync with any devices.
iCloud will allow you, once properly configure, to use any documents, media, purchases, apps, bookmarks, content, calendar, email... and so one in sync from any of your devices without the assle to sync from an iOS device.

How can I make multiple PDF links open in the same second tab, instead of a 3rd, 4th etc.

I am working on a project for my Universities 125 year anniversary. Essentially I've created a 125 year long digital yearbook, with a link to the University's actual digital yearbook for each individual year. I'm wondering if there is a way that I can make all of the yearbook links open in the same second page.
IE: Main Project open in a window, when I click the 1939 Yearbook pdf hyperlink, the 1939pdf will open in the second window. I then want to find a way so that after this, on the main page, I can click the 1940 yearbook pdf link and have the 1940 yearbook load on the second window, replacing the 1939pdf, instead of just opening the 1940pdf on a third new tab/window?
Note: I have all of the yearbook PDF's online and downloaded, so I can make the hyperlink send you to the site, or do a download style thing.
Thank for any help, and if anyone needs further information just ask me!
