How do you link images that have no link to begin with?

Im working with a file created by someone else.  I have seen this before but there are no links in the links window for a lot of the images that I click.  I have found this can happen when doing a copy/paste of an image from a website, photoshop, etc...  Is there a way to give these images an actual link so I dont have to go through and drop in the actual image and resize it all from scratch to make it fit with the non-linked image?

It's not quite that bad... you can script this. For instance, this oneline script:
app.selection[0].graphics[0].place(File.openDialog())
operates on a selected image (such as one copy-and-pasted, though it would also work with a properly placed image) and opens a file dialog and lets you select a new image which is then placed in it, preserving the scale. Can't do anything about the crop though.
Does that help? Do you need more automation? Or explanation how to use it?

    Hi, Mrs.Frankie57. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you want to delete a song from your iOS device on iOS 7, tap Songs, swipe the song from right to left, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

  • How do you link a pdf. document within a Keynote slide?

    How do you link a pdf. document within a Keynote slide?

    Gary, I'm trying to save a Keynote presentation that was created from a Powerpoint presenation using PDF files.
    It imported beautifully, problem is it won't play. Keeps giving me a "Keynote cannot play your slideshow because an error occured" message.
    I thought it was a Powerpoint/Keynote incompatibility thing, so I recreated the presentation - 1 pdf per slide just like you have here (I did this before finding your post) and it still wouldn't play. I even tried JPG - nothing; just horrible looking images.
    Is there something I'm missing?

  • How do you change image size in the title window?

    I just changed operating systems to Windows 7, which meant that I had to re install Premiere Pro CS4. I am now working on a 64 bit system. Might not make any difference, but thought I would give you the specifics just in case.  When I pull up the title window to add a title to my clip, the image is about the size of a postage stamp. How do I increase the size of the image in that window?

    Thank you again for responding Hunt. I did find out what what was happening.
    I had to reinstall the program on my computer. I just upgraded to Windows 7, and I now have a 64 bit system. When I booted up PPCS4, I assumed that my settings would be the same as they were before when I had Vista installed and didn't bother to check them when I started a new project. Well, they were not. I also added a TV tuner card to my computer. I now can watch HD TV on my computer. I suppose that it is possible that somehow PPCS4 noticed that, and set my default settings to HD, rather than NTSC DV. I just merrily went along clicking the OK button and started editing. When I start a new project now, I select NTSC DV and the Title window works just fine, and exactly the way I expect it to.
    I just received Jeff Bellune's book Adobe Encore DVD 2.0 in the mail and will be totally immersed in Encore studies today. With all of his children, I don't see how he had time to write it, but I'm glad that he did. I also ordered a book entitled Designing Menus with Encore DVD. I know that it was written for an earlier version than CS4, but I will trust what you said about that. Many things are the same with some minor variations due to upgrades in the program. The basic ideas don't change, but how you accomplish them can, and usually do over time.

    Subject: how do you change image size in the title window?
    Welcome to the forum.
    That is an odd one. The Title should be the same Frame Size as your Project/Sequence. What is it's Frame Size? Also, are you perhaps doing a Title based on an older Template, that was done for a different Frame Size?
    What happens if you choose Title>New Title>Default Still?
    Good luck,

  • Lines displayed in images that have been "sliced"

    Safari displays lines between sections of an image that have been "sliced" where a aprt of the image may be used with linking to other pages of that website or other url's. The header on the following site:
    http://www.mcruz.com/MCI-AboutUs.asp and contents pages of this site: http://www.apomessiah.com/guidepost1Summary.asp for a couple of examples.
    Is there a way to turn it off???

    This sounds as if you would try to import the images a 2nd time.
    But you say you  want to develop them.
    So make sure that your import dialog is no longer open, and that you access the images from library module, left-hand panel e.g. folders or collections.
    Then select one image and go to develop module, e.g. via pressing letter d as shortcut.

  • Smart collection of images that have been printed

    I'd like to create a smart collection of images that have been printed.  Is there any way to do this?  If not, is there a way to search for images that have been printed?
    Separately, one my smart collections screens by edit date so that I can find out what I have worked on recently.  However, it also picks up everything I shot and imported recently, even if I haven't edited the images.  Is there any way to filter these out?
    I'm using LR 5.3 for Windows.
    Thank you,
    Robert

    Here's how I get there.  This filters images that have had Develop adjustments within the last three weeks. 

  • Lightroom does not automatically find images that have been moved within same parent folder/drive

    Lightroom does not automatically find images that have been moved within same parent folder/drive...I moved my catalog and photos to shared drive so that all users can access and when I moved photos within parent folder lightroom did not automatically adjust like in video I watched.  I had to manually locate.  Is there a fix for this?

    I haven't watched that video, but if you move photos in your operating system ... Lightroom does NOT automatically find these photos. Finding photos that have been moved is NOT a feature of Lightroom. So, there is no fix for this.
    You would have to tell Lightroom where the photos are now located, as explained in the link from 99jon
    If you must move photos, move them inside of Lightroom, not in your operating system, or better yet — don't move them, and use Lightroom tools such as keywords and other metadata to achieve organization.

    Personally I think you are going about this all wrong.  I believe someone recommended to you in a previous post to look into the HTML5  ( http://forums.adobe.com/thread/874917 ) you need to end up creating the site with Adobe AIR as opposed to the way you are going about doing it.  That would be creating an application like Tweetdeck that connects to the internet and uses interactive elements.  http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air.html
    If you want to link a file within a Flash document you would receive a quicker and more in depth answer in the Flash forum as it will require ActionScript.
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/flash
    It sounds like you have a ton of ideas, but your lack of information suggests that 1. you don't have all the knowledge necessary to get the project off the ground and 2. your reluctance to share it suggests that you have an idea that you feel the program is proprietary.  Given that this is the case you might be best served looking for an experienced Flash or AIR developer to help get your ideas going in motion. There is nothing wrong with trying to learn but the information you are giving up to go on is very broad and unfortunately it does not appear that you are getting the answers you are looking for.

  • How do you edit text that is in a text box?

    How do you edit text that is in a text box?  I just want to change the font color of the text.  Solution in the Help files recommends selecting the text and then selecting Optional) To make further changes to the text box:
       Using the Select tool or the Text Box tool, click an edge of the text box to select it, and then drag a corner to resize it. Use the Properties toolbar to change the border and fill options.
       Double-click the text box to edit the text or change the text attributes. Drag across text to select it, and then select options from the Properties toolbar.
    This is what the help files recommend
    (Optional) To make further changes to the text box:
       Using the Select tool or the Text Box tool, click an edge of the text box to select it, and then drag a corner to resize it. Use the Properties toolbar to change the border and fill options.
       Double-click the text box to edit the text or change the text attributes. Drag across text to select it, and then select options from the Properties toolbar.
    When I try the above solution I don't have a  "Options" in the "Properties" toolbar.
    Why would they change a process that was so simple in previous editions to such a hidden awkward process?

    Try with a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer and/or changing the blending mode.
    If the effect is too much for the rest of the bulb, you may be able to mask it out.
    It would help if you post a representative picture here on the forum page for us to look at.
