How to restore original size of placed and fitted image?

If an image is placed to the frame, fitted to it, file saved. When I open it again, is there the way to restore the original size of the image?
Thank you in advance for any help.
Vera

By which Simon means change the values in the scaling fields of the Control panel or Transform panel to 100%.
You'll also almost certainly need to do something with the frame, like "Fit frame to content" or at least select it with the regular selection tool and adjust the cropping.

How to reduce the size of icons and descriptions of pallets?

Hi!
1. The "Control bar" is still something missing and to display the location of the same functions are different depending on the selected tool.
Therefore, the tools will I need to keep an eye on pallets or icons. But description of the pallets is too great for me, takes place and I can not see as many pallets as I need.
2. The idea to create multiple workspace and its continuous change is not good for me.
When I work I prefer to have the tools at its one location, then I can rely on My reflexes when choosing a tool, and not constantly look where this time or constantly switch the workspace.
3. How to reduce the size of icons and descriptions of pallets I, then he could fit more pallets in one column?
Best Regards!

Hi Monika,
Nice to read you again. Thank you for your response.
Yes, I read. It does not solve the problem about which I write. I guess that solves your opinion? Please hint.

How come in Pages, i cannot drag and drop images?

how come in Pages, i cannot drag and drop images?

Yes you can in all versions.
It helps if you actually describe what you are doing.
Where are you dragging it from and where are you dragging it to?
In what version of Pages?
I suspect you are trying to drag an image into a Table, Header or Footer in Pages 5, which is no longer possible. Feature removed by Apple.

Big Colour and detail changes between Original Nikon RAW files and the images created on the Preview page!

Big Colour and detail changes between Original Nikon RAW files and the images created on the Preview page! Yes there are distinct visual changes when I preview my Nikon NEF RAW Files.Please note I do not use iPhoto at all.
If you view it as a contact sheet straight from the original folder there are no alterations but the moment you double click and want to 'Preview' it, this new preview page introduces very noticeable distortions : lighter shading goes missing and colour goes darker e.g orange turns red and mid blue goes deep blue! Alarmingly the little column on the left of the preview page showing the collection shows the original file colours and then after a few seconds show the new distorted image...you can see this visible change and it takes place after a few seconds once you double click! Also if you use Apple's 'Cover Flow' to preview, this function will replace your original RAW file with the new 'altered preview' image!
I have raised this with Apple but they have yet to reply...has anyone ever experienced this? I have used my Mac book for 18months only noticed it about 5 days ago!
I went to Apple store and we tried it in other laptops and Macs and it happened to all of them so we think this is a software issue and not down to the laptop.
Any help is much appreciated!

How to restore original Premiere Pro CC interface and how to drag video to timeline panel?

The trial version I downloaded does not have the video and audio tracks on the timeline panel. I tried playing around to find them but this is what happened instead.
May I know how to restore the original interface?
Also, how do I drag videos to the timeline panel when it does not have any audio or video track line that I can work with, unlike the CS6 version I was using?
Thank you.

Hi Erica,
To restore:
From the menu items choose Window > Workspace> Reset Workspace
To add video to the Timeline:
Select File > New > Sequence and create a sequence. Drag video to new sequence.
or
In the Project panel, drag your video to the New Item . This will create a sequence that best matches your clips properties.
Best,

Expanding system partition to original size after shrinking and part'ing?

If I was to shrink my system partition to create a few other partitions using the
diskutil resizeVolume disk0s2...
command, How would I then remove them and recover the space for the original system partition, expanding it to it's original size?
Thanks
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10) 2.4Ghz 15"

OK couldn't find a way to delete partitions usng diskutil so I booted into Knoppix and used QTParted to delete the created partition neighbouring the system one.
I've restarted and booted up the OSX install and now diskutil will let me resize into the free space created
<pre>
$ diskutil resizeVolume disk0s2 limits
For device disk0s2 Macintosh HD:
Current size: 122084442112 bytes
Minimum size: 24505323520 bytes
Maximum size: 143559278592 bytes
</pre>
however using the maximum size value above for the new size gives me the following error:
<pre>Resizing encountered error No space left on device (28) on disk disk0s2 Macintosh HD</pre>
I've tried a few slightly smaller sizes and still got the same error

How to play/record at same time and save image from video

i started working on a project and that made my life hell although it was so simple. reason was that i couldnt find small/simple code to understand problems and no proper documents. . finally i have done that. and here is the code (without much complex code of interface). it shows vidoe, records a small part of it at start and takes a snapshot (no buttons or events involved). hope it might help someone starting to learn JMF.

so here the code. all messed up. coz i have just completed it and havent worked on interface or formatting this code properly (didnt have much time). but hope it will help. ask me if u have any questions. dont want others to have those basic problems that i had to face.

u did a good effort for the JMF beginners i appreciate that....thanks i lot....i need you help in a project in
which i have to connect to a d-link 950G IP camera and process that
mpeg-4 stream (i know there are some problems in JMF and mpeg4) and show it over applet of JFrame.

Well, I don't really understand the DnD interface so maybe my chess board example will be easier to understand and modify:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=57&threadID=518707
Basically what you would need to do is:
a) on a mousePressed you would need to create a new JLabel with the icon from the clicked label and add the label to the glass pane
b) mouseDragged code would be the same you just repaint the label as it is moved
c) on a mouseReleased, you would need to check that the label is now positioned over your "drop panel" and then add the label to the panel using the panels coordinates not the glass pane coordinates.

Need help restoring original desktop after crash and new install

Question: is there a way to restore my original desktop?
My system starting giving me kernel errors. I was running Member when it crashed. I did a restart and the mouse would no longer work. Tried starting in safe mode. Mouse still refused to work. Removed most of my memory and restarted but mouse still would not work. Finally got the mouse to move in safe mode. Set my system to start from a different hard drive. This time the mouse worked fine. Ran memory check from this secondary driver and ALL memory checked out fine. Restarted computer with the original drive and once again the mouse would not work.
Finally, I re-loaded OS 10.4 plus ran all updates. I first tried to load it keeping all the setting but this made the system lock up and the computer would not restart without the CD. Finally, re-loaded 10.4 and archived original desktop.
Question: is there a way to restore my original desktop?
I found a folder that has the desktop stuff in it but some seems to be missing...
AND I cannot find any of my previous mail that had been saved. I'm sure (I hope) that it is here, but don't know where or how to set it back up.
I still don't know what caused the original problem...

Hi, Edward.
1. You wrote: "I first tried to load it keeping all the setting but this made the system lock up and the computer would not restart without the CD. Finally, re-loaded 10.4 and archived original desktop.... I cannot find any of my previous mail that had been saved. "If you performed an Archive & Install of Mac OS X and did not use the "Preserve Users and Network Settings" option, then everything that was in your old user account, including your Mail, is gone. Before performing an Archive and Install without that option, you should have made a complete backup of the affected hard drive using a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution.
While it's unclear what you mean by "archived original desktop." If you mean you used Create Archive to create an Archive (.zip file) of your previous Home > Desktop folder before performing the Archive & Install, then only the files and folders that were saved on the Desktop at that time would be preserved. Mail was saved in your Home > Library > Mail folder, which the Archive & Install replaced if you failed to use the "Preserve Users and Network Settings" option.
If any e-mail files are still on the hard drive in question, then the instructions in my "Data Recovery" FAQ may help you find them, but I suspect they are all gone.
2. You wrote: "I still don't know what caused the original problem..."Earlier in your post you noted:"My system starting giving me kernel errors."and"Finally got the mouse to move in safe mode."If by "kernel errors" you meant the following message:
That indicates a kernel panic.
See my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ. This FAQ includes step-by-step instructions for identifying and resolving some of the most common causes of kernel panics. The FAQ is a roadmap: start at the beginning and work systematically through the end, i.e. the "If all else fails..." section.
Since the system appeared to work properly in Safe Mode, this would also imply an errant Startup or Login Item could have been the cause, which is addressed in Step 4 of the "Troubleshooting kernel panics" section of my FAQ.
Good luck!

How to restore original OS?

I got an old 3000 C200 laptop. It came with Vista Home Premium but as I needed to run old DOS programs, I installed WinXP PRO instead. I didn't touch the service partition and now when I look on the disk management window, I can see two partitions: ServiceV002 = ~6GB and C: = ~70GB
I don't need to run DOS programs anymore and decided to roll back to the original image of the OS with Vista. To do that, I press the LENOVO CARE button while BIOS loads. On the menu that comes up I choose the "restore option" (F11) and.... After a few seconds of black screen, regular WinXP boots up
Why is that? How do I get to the restore application?

From lenovo (they might charge you a small fee), another x220 owner that created the recovery media, from a lenovo certified repair center (they will have recovery media available).
Currently own: X220T, X201, X200, T61 X2, X61T X3
