Image flattening problem in CS 4

I am loosing details in an image when I try to save, flatten or merge visible. The top layer is a colored layer that I have used the dissolve blend mode to apply to the layer below. Whenever I flatten it, I loose a lot of the granular detail as well as the color intensity. Any work arounds? Thanks. Brad

That is perfectly normal as photoshop uses interpolation to show your image at views other than 100% view.
In other words in photoshop 100% view (actual pixels) is the only true view and thus the only sure way to view the true results of your image editing.
As long as the results are good at 100% view, the image should print or display fine in most picture viewers and on the web.

My iMac 27" Late 2012 has Image Persistence Problem

I'm wondering what to do about an annoying image persistence problem on my 27" late 2012 iMac. I got the iMac just a few days ago. Monday actually, so 4 days ago.
It's the 3.4GHz i7, 8GB, NVIDIA 680MX 1TB fusion drive model.
Overall it has become the love of my life, but the image persistence thing is getting harder to ignore. This happens after only a few minutes of use. If I follow Apple's instruction on dealing with LCD image persistence, I can make it go away for a while, but it comes back very quickly.
It is extremely noticeable on a plan dark background. It looks as thought he screen has been left on for a very long time with the same windows open, but it occurrs in less than 5 minutes of use with nothing more intense than a bit of web surfing.
I've read that this is happening a great deal on these new iMacs, particularly teh 27" machines.
While the problem seems to be known to those of us afflicted I don't know if Apple has acknowledged an issue or not.
Here is a sample of the complaints: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1509571
I can make the ghost image vanish by bringing up an all white scree for a minute or so or using LCD Scrub.
I'm wondering if anyone else has foun a solution other than asking for a replacement computer, which Apple seems to be granting on this issue?

If you cannot resolve the issue yourself, then return the computer for a replacement. You may do this freely within 14 days from date of purchase, so don't delay.

Problem: codebase, jar and image reloading problem please help!

Hi Java Gurus,
I have written an applet that extends JApplet for viewing webcam. In order to reduce the download time I put my classes into a doorcam.jar file. The following is my <applet> tag in my html file.
<applet code="CameraApplet.class"
archive="doorcam.jar"
codebase = "webcam/classes"
width="375" height="475">
<param name="imagePath" value="http://judge/webcam/images">
<param name="webCamImage" value="door.jpg">
<param name="COMPort" value="COM2">
<param name="frameRate" value="10"> 
<param name="host" value="judge">
</applet>
The fist problem is that my class file does not get loaded from the jar file if i provide the "codebase" attribute as above. Instead the browser load every single class file from the webserver. This has some problem too. Coz the browser sometimes just thorough NullPointerException or ClassNotFoundException. After much of debugging I found out that the problem is the IE browser which seldom fails to load classes or image file from the server. If i referesh the browser the applet and all its classes loaded successfully and runs smoothly. This behaviour never occurs when running with "appletviewer".
I wanted all my classes to be loaded from my jar file. After much of trial and error I found out that if i remove "codebase" attribute the browser loads the classes from my jar file and applet loads very fast. This is where the second problem comes in. The browser does not reload my webcam image file so that the webcam become alive with live images, like before.
If I run on "appletviewer" everything works fine my web cam is displayed properly. But in IE browser the image does not get reloaded when I refresh my image to give live to my webcam display. The refresh method is given below.
private void refresh(final URL url) {
Image webCamImage =getImage(url);
webCamImage.flush(); // flush out the previous image
webCamImage = getImage(url); // get a new image
webCamImageIcon.setImage(webCamImage); webCamImageIcon.paintIcon(webCamLabel, webCamLabel.getGraphics(), 15, 15);
When I add the "codebase" attribute back, the image gets reloaded for every refresh() and everything works fine. But the classes are also loaded from the server. And occasionally also suffers Class loading and image loading problem. As I presented earlier, when I do refreshing in the browser everything gets loaded and the applet function correctly with web cam displaying very well.
The problem is so strange that I could not find any way to solve it.
It would be a great help to me if somebody provide me some work around to the problem.
I tested on Windows 2000, Windows XP, IE 5.5, IE 6 with J2SDK 1.4.0.
Thank you all very much in advance.
best regards,
Judge

Thank you so much for the suggestions. I did tried the way u suggested. The problem still the same.
I think its the problem between IE browser and Java Plug-in.
I which SUN would find these incompatibilities and solve these problems.
I even tried using java SDK and plug-in 1.4.1 it even worst. It can't even load an applet. And it does not show any loading messages nor any error messages. It just show a cross sign on the upper left coner.
I would be so glad, if Sun would try to eliminate the inconsistancies such as caching, loading, initializing etc between browser and its Java plug-In. For example, applets behave well in appletviewer and behave unpredictably in browser environment.
I have seen so many people in the forums with all sorts of problems because of this.
Right now I m desperately looking for work around to my problem.
If somebody would provide me with the solution to my problem it would be a great help to me.
thank you all so much.

SSRS indicator image display problem!!

Hello ALL;
I am having problem with displaying indicator image in DEV report manager. but same rdl works in QA environment. Both server has SP1 installed. Any Idea? Appreciate for your help. Thanks,

Hi Techchi,
Based on the limited information, I cannot figure it out for this issue. As per my understanding, I think this issue can be caused by the browser that run the report manager. If you use IE explorer to render the report, I suggest that you can try to run
it in compatibility mode. If you are using another browser, I recommend that you should use IE explorer to render the report to check the issue again.
If this issue still exists, in order to solve the problem more efficiently, I need to clarify some information.
Are all reports with indicator image cannot render well in DEV report manager? Or just this one report?
What is the phenomenon about the indicator image display problem? Could you please post a screenshot about this?
It is benefit for us to do further analysis. Thank you for your understanding.
Thanks,

Having a image alignment problem using clearbox

Hi,
I'm having an image alignment problem. I cannot figure it out. I'm using the clearbox - lightbox dreamweaver widget. Using Dreamweaver CS6.
Actual page located here. Any help would be appreciated.
http://dirtysouthink.com/gallery/dustin2.html

This has very little to do with Dreamweaver. DW is merely a tool to assist you in building a web site. It is purely a matter of styling (CSS).
When I look at the structure, I see
BODY-CONTENT (width: 490px)
     GALLERY (width: 452px)
          CONTAINER (width: 500px)
               ITEM (width: 150px)
From this I can deduce that:
GALLERY will fit inside BODY-CONTENT
CONTAINER will NOT fit inside GALLERY or BODY-CONTENT
ITEM will fit three times into CONTAINER
To start with, I would reduce the size of the CONTAINER so that it fits inside of its parent. Then I would adjust the width of the ITEM so that only two of them fit inside of the CONTAINER.

How to solve the image display problem in the iTunes Store

Hi guys!
I just want to give a work-around for all of you having the image display problem in the iTunes Store. In my case only the square images in the slider sections won't load:
I had this in my last W7-installation and got it again in W8 after the first few weeks.
There are a lot of reports about this problem out there and adhoc solutions like 'clear the cache' or 'reinstall and drink ice tea' that do not work. It is obviously a file request error. It is all about finding out which server addresses get blocked by your computer.
Solution: Go to your firewall and your Anti-virus-program. There must be a whitelist option. In Kaspersky, check the web-options, the banner-options and the firewall-options, because the all have whitelists. The following addresses have to be whitelisted:
*.apple
*.mzstatic.apple.com.akadns.net
*.mzstatic.com.edgesuite.net
*.da1.akamai.net
*.itunes.apple.com
se.itunes.apple.com
upp.itunes.apple.com
ax.init.itunes.apple.com
xp.apple.com
*.mzstatic.com
client-api.itunes.apple.com
www.apple.com.edgekey.net
www.isg-apple.com.akadns.net
Press Ctrl + R in the iTunes Shop then and browse throught the music sections. All images should be displayed correctly now.
If not, there might be more Apple servers involved in your case. You can find them by running a DNS sniffing tool like the DNS query sniffer by Nirsoft or Wireshark.

Phone restarting randomly could be loose battery. Tighten by putting a small strip of electrical tape on the back edge.
THE BITTERNESS OF POOR QUALITY, LINGERS LONG AFTER THE CHEAPNESS OF PRICE, IS SOON FORGOTTEN.

Image reading problem in servlet

Image reading problem in servlet
I am reading an image in servlet and writing it to ServletOutputStream
The following code works fine unless I change the size of the byte array (for increasing download speed) from 8 to something like 128 or any other higher value
If I change the value of byte array size the image does not get downloaded properly, I mean the quality of the image changes, it does not looks like the original imageURL url = new URL("http://www.mysite.com/images/img1.jpg");
URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
con.setUseCaches(false);
BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(con.getInputStream());
BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
byte b[] = new byte[8];
while(in.read(b) != -1)
     out.write(b);
     out.flush();
out.close();
in.close();what do I change
byte array size
or use the constructor of BufferedInputStream with 2 parameter
or use the constructor of BufferedOutputStream with 2 parameter
or use flush outside while loop or what else

Change your while loop to:
int count;
while((count = in.read(b)) != -1)
     out.write(b, 0, count);
     out.flush();
}The penultimate time read is called, it may not fill the entire byte array. You only want to write out however much was read into the array.
For better performance, you should move the flush() outside of the loop too. BufferedOutputStream will flush automatically when its internal buffer is full.

Image refresh problem

hi, i have an image inside an iframe that i'm trying to
change upon the click of a button. i use the following code:
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function swapImage(intImage){

</SCRIPT>
then in body:
<p><a href="javascript:; "
onclick="frames['cont'].swapImage(0);">Management
Team</a></p>
i know from the alert that it is changing the source of my
image, the problem is that the image itself is not changing at all.
has anyone experienced this before? what can i do to fix it?

Netinstall image installation problem

Hi, I'm new in MacOSX Server and trying to do image file with System Image Utility 10.6.2 - MacOS10.6 and additional packeges (MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.2, iWork'09, iLife'09) with "AddPackages and Post-Install Script". By making a image no problem but when I start the installation occurs the following problem.
MacOs10.6 install correct but other programs added in "AddPackages and Post-Install Script" is not installed, and in Macintosh HD is created a folder named Install.76443 with locked directories.
Where is the problem why the additional packages not installed.
My SIU configuration is :
Define Image Source: MacOSXInstallDVD
Add Packages and Post-Install Scripts
- MacOsx10.6.2. Update Combo
- iLife'09.pkg
- iWork'09.pkg
Create image
type: Netinstall
Install Volume: Macintosh HD
Save to: Documents
Image Name: Netinstall of Mac OS X Install DVD
Network Disk: Netinstall of Mac OS X Install DVD
Image Index: 1533
Description: Netinstall of Mac OS X Install DVD
i want to create one image for all packages and updates and install it from network to all computers in my office.
thanks

I think this is covered in a different thread but, in short, the 10.6.2 update will fail to install on top of the 10.6 DVD. YMMV with the iLife & iWork packages as they may run pre-install scripts that will also cause them to fail.

RH8 image map problem

I created an image map back in RoboHelp 6 and it worked perfectly. When I converted my project recently to RoboHelp 8, the image map pop-ups are not working correctly. I've checked the properties of the image map and they are correct. But the pop-up boxes do not display correctly. I'm going to attached an example of how the same one displays in RH6 and RH8 and a screen shot of my settings.
Can anyone help me with this?

After much trial and error testing around this image map issue, I cannot seem to find a fix for image maps within RoboHelp 8. No matter what I've tried (and it was a lot), nothing seems to fix the image map problem. Even creating a new image map on a new page with totally different info, pop up pages, image, etc. and turning OFF all breadcrumbs - the image map does not display correctly once generated (nor in preview).
I have found a VERY TEDIOUS workaround for this (that I'm not happy about). If I take my original pop-up topic htm pages (9 of them) from my RoboHelp 6 project and the original eHlpDhtm.js file from RH6 and place them in my output Help file from RH8 (overwriting the RH8 with the RH6 files), then the image map works correctly.
The eHlpDhtm.js file has many more scripts in it than just the image map triggers, so I'm not sure what all else I'm affecting when I'm fixing one problem (i.e. not sure how many more problems I'm creating at the same time when fixing one problem.)
It's almost like the "breadcrumbs" feature in RH8 has broken the image maps feature in RH8.
I'm still up for more suggestions as how to fix this if anyone has any ideas.

How can I save the images and movies on a external Disk from iphoto program, to protect the images when problems occur in the laptop,

How can I save the images and movies on a external Disk from iphoto program, to protect the images when problems occur in the laptop,

Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
If you want to back up the Photos only:
Export them using the File -> Export command.

Transparent image causes flattening problem

Hi,
I have a 34 page booklet that I am exporting as a swf file. When I add a transparent png file to the booklet (it makes the book look like it has a spiral binding) the file will NOT export anymore. It gets to page 17, quits and the error message says something like, "there was an error while flattening".
I can get the file to export if I check rasterize the images in the export dialog box. Just for added information, I did change the transparent png into a gif file and tried exporting that but I received the same error message. If you want to see the file it is located here
http://www.sportop.com/flip-catalog/ThunderRidgeResortApparel.html
It is the spiral image that causes the problem. Any ideas why this is happening?
P.S. It looks like nothing is happening while the file is loading because I do not know how to add a pre-loader (my other problem).
One more thing, any idea why the file does NOT center is the html container page?
Thank you for your help,
Tricia

Sounds strange, I have used a lots of transparent images in INDD layouts and exported them as SWF succesfully. Have you tried to use Photoshop PSD-format? And you could also create a new layer for that spiral...
If you want to get your book centered and equipped with preloader, go to Adobe Marketplace and download eDocker:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/marketplace/index.cfm?event=marketplace.offering&offeringid=1 7503&marketplaceid=1
You may use it for couple of days free of charge!
If you have your SWF exported and ready, it takes only about 20 seconds to build a version with preloader and many other cool stuff too, like zooming...

Help needed with Image Events problem

Hi there I'm writing what I thought was a simple script to convert a folder full of images from jpg to tiff. But the script fails when trying to convert the first image in the folder. Instead of converting the image, Preview opens with the image shown and I get this error message: error "The variable ImageRef is not defined." number -2753 from "ImageRef".
I have seen some posts about other people having the same problem, but I haven't seen any solutions.
Here's the script.
on run
tell application "Finder"
set PicturesFolder to ((path to home folder) as string) & "Pictures:SenseCam" as alias
set Photographs to (get entire contents of PicturesFolder) as alias list
end tell
tell application "Image Events"
launch
repeat with Photo in Photographs
if (Photo as string) ends with "jpg" then
set ImageRef to open Photo
save ImageRef in Photographs as TIFF
close ImageRef
end if
end repeat
end tell
tell application "Finder"
repeat with Photo in Photographs
delete Photo
end repeat
end tell
end run
Thanks in advance for any help.
John

Hello
You may try something like the modified code below.
Noticiable changes :
#1 - Removed the parentheses. Your original code won't yield alias list but a list of finder objects, which is the reason why Preview opens the image. (The statment 'open finderObject' behaves the same as double clicking it in Finder)
#2 - Only delete the original jpeg files which are converted to tiff.
#3 - Build new path for converted image.
#4 - Save in new path. (When saving image in a format other than its original format, always save the image to a new file and do not attempt to overwrite the source file.)
cf.
http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/imageevents/08.html
on run
tell application "Finder"
set PicturesFolder to (path to home folder as string) & "Pictures:SenseCam:" as alias
set Photographs to get entire contents of PicturesFolder as alias list -- #1
end tell
set DonePhotos to {} -- #2
tell application "Image Events"
launch
repeat with Photo in Photographs
set Photo to Photo's contents
set oldPath to Photo as string
if oldPath ends with ".jpg" then
set newPath to oldPath's text 1 thru -5 & ".tif" -- #3

Retina Display MacBook Pro image persistence problem.

Hello,
I have recently ( about 3 months ago) bought a Retina MacBook Pro and installed Windows via Bootcamp on it. I unfortunately am used to Windows. Well recently I tried to migrate to OS X and use it more often. Whilst doing so something caught my eyes on the desktop/Screen. There appears to be Ghosting images of the Finder/Safari windows I open which look extremely annoying and terrible for a machine I payed 3000 dollars for. I have contacted Apple support via a phone call and they said they will replace it...the screen...if i brought it and gave it to them myself. The problem is, I live out of the US and I ordered this from a friend that has went there to buy one for me as we both live in Saudi Arabia and the Premium Resellers here sell it for a very high profit rate. My issue is that I live out of the US with a Malfunctioning Laptop worth $ 3,000, and can't send it to Apple as I don't know anybody going there including myself. I have researched and this problem happens only on LG manufactured screens, I have found out mine is also indeed an LG screen via a terminal code I found on the Internet. Is there any way Apple can replace the laptop or the screen from Saudi Arabia as there are premium resellers. The support guy was not very helpful as I was a rare case out of the US and the service of the resellers here said they would like to look at the display, I don't think they would fix it for free...Don't apple devices have an international warranty?
Thanks,

an hour on my MBP by itself (someone else's office, a hotel room, an airplane, my lazy sofa) and my eyes lose the ability to focus --and I'm toast.
Ok, I'll explain why.
First off your iPad and iPhone screen is smaller, thus doesn't reflect as much as a larger display will.
Your other displays are in a static environment where you have reduced the glare or it's been reduced just by chance.
When you take the glossy screen laptop to another location without adequate environmental features to reduce glare imposed (no overhead lights, closed windows, low light etc.) on the screen, thus your getting eyestrain from the glare.
It's caused by the slightly out of focus reflections verses the screen image, your eyes are automatically refocusing between the two images.
Your solution in this matter is to apply a anti-glare film to the laptops glossy screen, unfortunately it's going to cost money and be replaced often as it gets dirty, dries out and peels at edges etc.
Ideally a anti-glare matte screen would be the choice in the first place. I use my Mac for 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and don't have the eyestrain problem anymore.
