How do you control hiDPI image optimization in Muse CC 2014?

Hi,
I'm using the new hi-DPI feature in Muse CC 2014 that supports image assets for hi resolution screens. The website I'm building is a portfolio site and need to make sure that images look good on both 72 dpi and hi-res screens. I'm finding that Muse is over optimizing @2x images when exporting for preview—especially for the assets used for 72dpi screens. When I export the site to preview in browser, I'm assuming that is the image quality that can be expected when publishing the site. Can I just optimize the images using Photoshop and replace them on the FTP host site after publishing or is there a better method? Is it possible to preview the manually optimized images before publishing?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Okay, I'm answering my own question since I figured out at least one solution. Probably pretty basic stuff for anyone that's familiar with Muse and publishing, but this is my first Muse site.
From Muse, export the html files to your local drive.
View the site in your browser and check for image quality.
Replace files in the "images" folder that are not good quality with images that you've optimized manually, making sure you use the exact same file names.
Refresh your browser to view new images.
I'm testing on a 72 dpi desktop and a hi-res display laptop. It doesn't look like the files I'm using are too large. Pages should still load quickly.
Once your satisfied with the new images upload to FTP host.
I think this works fairly well, but if anyone has a better method, please post. I also am interested in using business catalyst to track traffic on the site. I would imagine you can simply replace image files directly on the FTP server if you publish using Catalyst.

How can i control what images load on my project to save preload time and avoid loading all images, elements, divs not yet visible?

Sup buddies,
How can I control what images load on my project to save preload time and avoid loading all images, elements, divs not yet visible?
As the project grows in size the load time increases. How does one control not loading all images ,divs,elements etc. until they're
needed on the timeline? For example some sections are off and only become visible when recalled. My projects slowly grow in size so loading
all images , is counter productive . My other option would be to create separate htmls but that breaks the seamless user experience .

hello, kiwi
quote: "Is there an easy way to burn a completed project to DVD, but keep only the (lo res, lo size) previews on my hard drive?"
yes.
maybe,...
1. you might think of making DVD backups first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
or,
2. bring in the photographs to hard drive first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
the low rez Previews will stay in Aperture but the high quality Versions will be exported onto DVDs and gone from the hard drive (if you delete the originals).
another way would be to export small about 50-70 pixel wide high quality jpegs to a folder on your Desktop and import & keep these in Aperture Library as a reference. make metadata to show where the original Project DVDs are stored and DVD filing system used.

How do you crop an image, then modify that cropping?

This takes the cake for simpleton question of the day.
Cropping an image in Illustrator or in InDesign is a breeze.
But how do you control it in Fireworks?
I make a selection with the marquee tool, go to edit and choose crop selected bitmap.
Now, do you mean to tell me that there is no way to modify that crop after the fact?
Can you at least delete the crop without deleting the image?
This cant be this unintuitive.
Surely Im missing something...

Masks, yes, masks are great! If you just want to hide parts of your image from view, create a mask. Masks can be other bitmaps or vector objects. Create and position your mask object over your original bitmap. Select both then Modify > Mask > Group as Mask. You can easily undo the masking. White areas in a mask reveal the underlying object. Black or transparent areas in the mask cause your original image to be transparent for those pixels. Grey or semi-transparent produce a proportionally transparent result.
There's also the Paste Inside option, where you can paste your bitmap into a vector shape. The nice thing there is that you can move your bitmap around. (I'm pretty sure, anyway. I don't use this feature.)
Anyway. You have lots of options to remove or hide pixels. The approach you take depends on your needs and preferences.
If you have an image to share and a goal to achieve, we might be able to advise you better.

How can I control the image size when I export form iphoto, the choice is too limited, I need to send a photo under 3 MB but if I choose high quaulity it is only 1.1 and i need to keep the best quaulity I can. Thanks for help.

Any image can only be as large as the Original. With a program like Photoshop you can UpRes an image and get it to a bigger size, larger files size as well, but the actual quality of the image will be degraded, depending on the UpRes system and the original quality of the image.
iPhoto is not the program to be doing that in and I don't think it even has that option.
So I suspect the image you are trying to send isn't much bigger than what you are getting. You can also try Exporting it from iPhoto to yopur desktop and see what size you end up with. If it is still that 209KB +/- file size then that is the size of the original image.

How do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it when you just play a slideshow.

how do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it with presets when you just play a slideshow, but i don't see an option to randomly shuffle the slide order when you create a new slideshow. i know you can sort it by different fields, but i want it to be random. thanks.

If you want to rearrange images in random order you can try an AppleScript:
retrieve a list of selected images from Aperture
shuffe the list properly
create an album in Aperture and add the images from the list to the album (make sure that the album set to be orederd manually)
Here is a sample script that shuffles the selected images and displays them in random order in Full Screen Mode:
on removeItem(ims, i)
-- remove the item at position "i" from a list ims
          if ims is {} then return {}
          if (length of ims is 1) then return {}
          if i < 2 then return rest of ims
          if (i = length of ims) then return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims)
          if i > (length of ims) then return ims -- should be error?
          return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims) & (items (i + 1) thru (length of ims) of ims)
end removeItem
on shuffle_items(ims)
-- shuffle the items of the list "ims" randomly
          local numitems, ims_shuffled, nextrest, nextpick, i
          set numitems to length of ims
          if length of ims < 2 then return ims
          set ims_shuffled to {}
          set nextrest to ims
          repeat until nextrest is {}
                    set i to (random number (numitems - 1)) + 1
                    set nextpick to item i of nextrest
                    set beginning of ims_shuffled to nextpick
                    set numitems to numitems - 1
                    set nextrest to removeItem(nextrest, i)
          end repeat
          return ims_shuffled
end shuffle_items
on shuffleIms()
-- retrieve the selected images from Aperture
-- and display them in random order in full screen mode
          local imageSel, shuffled, i
          tell application "Aperture"
activate
                    set imageSel to (get selection)
                    set shuffled to my shuffle_items(imageSel)
                    set fullscreen to true
                    if imageSel is {} then error "Please select some images."
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              reveal {item i of shuffled}
delay 3 -- chnage that to the time you want
                    end repeat
                    set fullscreen to false
                    return shuffled
          end tell
end shuffleIms
shuffleIms()
Some more code snippets to go from here:
To create an album:
                    tell library 1
                              if not (exists album "shuffledAlbum") then
make new album with properties {name:"shuffledAlbum", image version:shuffled}
                              end if
                    end tell
And to add the images from the shuffled list to the album:
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              duplicate item i of shuffled to album "shuffledAlbum"
                    end repeat

How do you add an image in the signature

Hi,
How do you add an image to the signature area.
The Insert/edit image is not available when in My Settings | Personnel Info | Signature
Regards
Ray Farmer

You need to link the image. See the example for the Canada flag below.
<img src="http://forums.ni.com/ni/attachments/ni/130/6908/1/Canada-small.PNG" border=0>
Replace with the image you like. This goes into the signature box within the profile tab of the personal settings.

How can you upload an image to MYSQL using php?

Ok this is a joint thread with one of my other ones because no one else was posting on it, so I did not get what I needed, so, How can you upload an image to mysql so when some one logs on to my site, they see or can upload there own avatar, now there are loads of problems with this, 1) many people don't know how, 2) It's not every day you try to encode a image into mysql, 3) Letting people upload images into mysql can cause traffic problem with people trying to log in. So that's it.

Uploading images into MySQL is a bad idea, for more reasons than you mention. You should store the images in a directory on the server instead. But if you want to learn the hard way, here is the method:
The mysql data type must be blob.
The form enctype must be multipart, like this: enctype="multipart/form-data"
The form input field myst be type file, like this: <input type="file" name="upload"/>
Here is example code that prepares the variable $photodata to be inserted into the database.
$uploadfile = $_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'];
$photoname = $_FILES['upload']['name'];
$uploadtype = $_FILES['upload']['type'];
if ($uploadfile != "") {
$tempfile = fopen($uploadfile, 'rb');
$filesize=filesize($uploadfile);
$width=getimagesize($uploadfile);
$widthx=$width[0];
$heightx=$width[1];
if (($widthx > 102) or (heightx > 135)){
$image_too_big = " but the image size was too large and was not submitted.";
} else {
$photodata = fread($tempfile, filesize($uploadfile));
$photodata = addslashes($photodata);

You don't.
It's not possible. The e-mail protocol is designed for text; anything else has to go as an attachment.
Different mail clients (such as Mail.app, the mail client bundled with Mac OS X) may have different ways of handling such attachments, but they are still attachments. Each mail client has its own rules and methods, so one may display a picture as if it were in the body of the message, but another client may do something completely different.
A way of faking it is to format your message in HTML (which is a kind of text). The image is hosted on a remote server, not added to the message; instead, you include a link to it in the body of the message, as you would when building a web page. (This is also what the two tips helpfully provided by X423424X do, except that the link to the image is added in the signature, rather than the body of the message.) What exactly happens to it is, again, at the discretion of the mail client. In my case, for instance, displaying images in HTML messages is turned off, and will stay resolutely off.

how do you select an image in keynote? I am trying to reduces my image file size but when clicking on image to reduce it I seem to be selecting the mask and hence format/image does not provide me with an option to reduce the image

Click on it to select.
Click and drag a corner handle to change the image size on screen.
This does not alter the file size.

The same way you put them on the phone. Connect the phone to iTunes on your computer, click on the name of the iPhone, then the Photo tab. Uncheck the albums you don't want on the phone and click Sync.

In another thread I posted a suggestion to try when the iPhoto app in the Application folder will not work:
after upgrading the OS, iPhotos (and Aperture for that matter) should still be in the Applications folder...
And running well in 10.10.3.
If it stops running in a next "update" do not throw it away: most apps will continue running as follows:
In the Applications folder "rightclick" (CTL+click) the iPhoto app, then "show package contents", then click the MacOs folder open: you see the real app (dark grey), rightclick this and choose "make alias", an alias is made, move this alias to the Applications folder and use it to run iPhoto.
Same for Aperture.
In older OS this survived several upgrades....

How do you remove duplicate images from your all images file on your mac desktop

How do you remove duplicate images from your all images file on your mac desktop?

Don't under any circumstances.
All images is not a file. It's not a place. It's a list. Specifically, it's the result of an instruction: List all the images on my machine.
When you delete something from All Images, then you have no idea what you're removing from where - files that are part of word processing docs, interface elements, corrupting your iPhoto Library. There are many perfectly legitimate reasons why you might have what appears to be duplicates but are not.
Rule number One: Never delete anything on your machine whose job you don't understand.
