Image map for Dreamweaver from Photoshop

Hi. How does one convert some of the layers in a Photoshop CS3 graphic to an HTML image map with each layer being a hot spot? This would be very tedious (and not very accurate) doing it manually. Thanks.

> nothing done by hand could have created anything this precise.
But take a look at the definition of the hotspots in the HTML code. It is possible that you have a massive definition that will chew up some considerable bandwidth to transmit. (The point ID and others were making.)
This isn't a problem if all your users are on high speed connections, but if a significant number are on dialup, they might not want to wait for such precision.

Question about file preparation for print from Photoshop

I need to figure out the best method for saving for print from Photoshop. Here are the things that are confusing me:
Problem: When I create a design in Photoshop, I'm left with a few options on how to save my document. I would like to know which of the following is the best method:
Method 1: create a pdf and embed the required fonts. This method worries me because I've read that certain fonts will not open on the recipients end due to restrictions set by the font maker. Is this something I should be concerned with or is embedding fonts the best route to take?
Method 2: Convert all type to shapes. This method seems like the safest but I've read problems associated with this route as well. One website commented that having too much text converted to shapes can cause extremely long print times. Is this true?
Another problem I've encountered with converting text to shapes is when I have a paragraph that has more than one text color...converting to shapes converts everything to just a single color. I would love to know a work around to this. Currently I have to create separate layers for the different text colors and try to manually align them...very time consuming. I know InDesign would be best for this type of thing, but Photoshop works just fine for me, asside from this one little thing).
Method 3: Flatten my entire design (text and all) at 300dpi. Will my text look crisp flattening at this resolution?
Thank you to anyone who can help clear this up for me. I read so much inconsistant information online that I don't know what to think anymore.

Always embed fonts, but then again, Photoshop can't until you save a format that can like PDF. Some fonts do not allow you to do so. Outline the fonts or convert to shapes. Better yet, stop building text documents in Photoshop for print. It's generally a bad idea for many reasons like rejected jobs and lost money and time.
Method
2: Convert all type to shapes. This method seems like the safest but
I've read problems associated with this route as well. One website

Problems arise if you want someone to edit the files, but the same goes for a font that is missing. As far as the print slow down times - it depends upon the RIP and how complex the file is. Maybe or maybe not be an issue. After all, text in Photoshop is using a font as a vector shape layer and not a font in the traditional sense.

A paragraph? Please attend a school that teaches you the basics of design in graphics. It will do you a great service to get more studies under your belt. Photoshop text is for graphical art not type setting.
Method 3: Flatten my entire design (text and all)
at 300dpi. Will my text look crisp flattening at this resolution?
It depends upon the resolution of the output device. The higher the resolution of the output the worse your text will be.

Hi I'm trying to find a simple bit of freeware that I can use to image map for creating hotspots on a website. Any ideas?

Hi
I'm wanting to create a pretty complicated image map for a web page so it'll be lot's of polygons. Does anyone know of a good bit of freeware I can use that will help me work out the coordinates for the image maps?
Thanks
Neil

You could do this in any text or html editor.t I imaging you want a click and drag capability when selecting the areas of the image map. Try looking at some of these. https://www.google.com/search?q=image+map+create+apple+mac

Is it possible to create a link to a pop-up window from an image map in dreamweaver?

I'm trying to use an image map as my home page. As it is a simple site I want the links on the image map to open in a small 200 x 200 pixel pop-up window.
I seem to only be able to have it open in a new tab.
Thanks for any help!

That site uses Cyber Studio javascript actions. Cyba Studio was discontinued years ago.
If you're code savy enough you can extract the javascipt from the site and the csactions and rebuild to your own requirements. It's not that difficult but you do need to know your way around the code environment in Dreamweaver.
Give us another site link and I'll take a look to see if there is anything more up-to-date code handing these pop_ups.

Blast from the past: How do I draw image maps in Dreamweaver CC 2014?

Need to update some old stuff, and can´t find where to draw image-maps on images.

First, you need to be in Design View to get the image map tools to appear.
Once there, the image map icons should show when you select an image. If they don't, you may have your Properties panel collapsed. In the bottom right corner of the Properties panel, there's a tiny triangle, click that to expand the panel to include the image map tools.

Images pasted into mail from photoshop are drastically reduced in size.

At work, I am constantly sending previews of artwork through email. I CmdShiftC in Photoshop to copy merged (this essentially takes a screen shot of your current selection in a Photoshop document, then I Cmd+V to paste it into mail.
I have been doing this exact process for over a year now, it works every time, the images are pasted at actual size and are not modified in any way regardless of how huge they were.
This morning they suddenly started showing up as dinky, useless thumbnails.
There is no option in mail I can find to control this, and the multitude of other posts in this forum about the same complaint mention a little popup in the bottom right when you have an attached image. I do not have this popup, there is nothing in the bottom right of my window.
Why is this happening, and how do I fix it?

it's not a popup, it's a little scroll button. and you should be getting it when you attach images. however, in my experience, sometimes this button doesn't show up for whatever reason. the following method works for me when I run into this problem (which happens with some regularity btw). start a new blank outgoing message and attach an image to it. don't do it from photoshop. just drag some large image from finder to the message composition window. hopefully, the scroll button will show up. adjust it to "actual size" and close that message composition window. next time you attach an image to a measge it will use the same setting to display the image, i.e. 'actual size".

Image Squished Upon Import from Photoshop

I imported a simple Tiff from photoshop and it looks vertically squished upon import (about 5% but still). Has anyone seen this before? I tried exporting but it still appeared squished. Any thoughts on what it may be.

You can render to whatever size you want.
You can precompse your HD comp and nest it in a SD comp, and render from that if you wish.
Or, you could use the stretch options in the Render Queue to downsize your comp.
The point I'm trying to make is that there are only a few HD frame sizes (image dimensions).
Generally speaking, you have 1920x1080, and 1280x720.
Those are the two flavors that you have to work with in HD.
Some codecs create variations on those sizes based on pixel shape, but that's it for HD.
Once you depart from one of those frame sizes, you're simply not displaying HD material, beit created in AE, or shot in camera.
If you present a frame size that was downsized HD, then it is no longer an HD frame.
If you want to show your client a certain piece "in HD", then you may want to make sure you're showing them a true HD file, and not a downsized verison.

What's the price for Dreamweaver and Photoshop?

Hi everybody. My first post here, hope is the right place.
I was checking the Adobe site and the prices of the programs, but I didn't find if its possible to just buy 2 single applications and no all the creative cloud pack. I just wanted to know if it's possible for me just to buy Dreamweaver and Photoshop and what would be the price per year?
Just that.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the ignorance.

Creating graphics for iPhone from Photoshop

Hi, I'm putting together my first App for the iPhone and I have a question when it comes to exporting my graphics from Photoshop. I have looked all over the web place and I can't find a direct answer, I hoped that someone might have an idea in here? It is more of a Photoshop question but directly relates to the iPhone so here goes.......
My psd has the embedded colour profile - CHROMiX iPhone Aug08 as I have been advised to use from the web. From here all I want to do is export the graphic. I am exporting as a PNG-24. The exported graphic is either slightly washed out or much much darker. As this is my first time in doing it I don't know which is right, nor do I know why I am getting two different results.
Any help? Please! I am going round in circles.

Hello, Andy and welcome to the Discussions.
I would suggest that you ask for assistance in the developer forums to which you have access as a member of Apple's iOS developer's program:
http://developer.apple.com/devforums/
You'll be much more likely to get assistance there, particularly with such a very specific issue. This forum is really for people using the iPhone rather than for people developing for it.

Importing Images into Flash CS4 from Photoshop 7

Hello,
I've created an image in flash, basically the image is a ring which has then been divided into 3 equal segments, each segment exists on its own seperate layer with and has a transparent background. I want to make ach of these segments into a button on flash, so I've imported them across and converted them into buttons, however the problem I have is that when it gets imported into flash, it creates a box around each segment which is what flash sees as the full button, this means when you roll over a blank piece of the segment flash recognises it as rolling over the button. Is this just an inherent problem from importing from photoshop into flash or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
Sean

Check the settings:
Edit/Preferences.../PSD File importer...
And then load the *.psd file without the background.
And certainly there is no change in flash...

How to create an image marquee for Dreamweaver

Hello,
I would like to know the best image tool to use for a Dreamweaver homepage site to create a simple three images marquee? Should I use Photoshop, Flash or fireworks? Which application is the simplist way to do this? I am a beginner using Dreamweaver 5.5. Take a look at this site to see what I am trying to do. http://www.eventcouturempls.com/home

The one you linked to uses Flash, but you can easily create one without Flash. Google image slider and you will get plenty. A couple I have used and liked are nivoslider and WOW slider. They both run off jQuery.
To put the slider on a homepage, you will use a combination of Photoshop/Fireworks (for the images) and Dreamweaver to code the slider into your page.

Unsupported Image Format for DNG from GF1?

I am in the process of trying to switch from Lightroom 3 to Aperture 3 (in case you are wondering why the main reason is increasing integration between iOS and Aperture).
Most of the images in my Lightroom catalog are from Nikon DSLRs which when I import as DNGs from Lightroom into Aperture show up just fine. However, all of the old DNGs I try to import from Lightroom as DNGs that were shot with my Panasonic GF1 don't render in Aperture and just show up as "Unsupported Image Format."
Please note that new GF1 images I import from the SD card of my GF1 import just fine. The problem seems limited to GF1 images saved in Lightroom as DNGs that I am importing into Aperture.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to correct this issue?
Thank you.

Solved it. Had nothing to do with Photoshop PS4 install, it had to do with moving my home space to a larger external drive. One of the "import" setting changed (I don't remember changing it) such that the images weren't getting imported into Aperture. (Re-?)checked that, and all is well. Will go for the PS4-reinstall tomorrow.

Image sizing in dreamweaver using photoshop to size

I have two images that I want to display as 200 x 260 pixels. I have used both photoshop cs5 and photoshop elements 9 to size them to exactly this size using the "save for web" option. My dreamweaver code has a div of this size for insertion of each image.
When I look at the pixel dimensions (in photoshops and dreamweaver they say exactly 200x 260 pixels. However when I insert the image into dreamweaver, one is larger than the other as displayed on the view and also in firefox.
I have tried both png and jpg formats. I have tried resize in photoshop before "save for web". I always get the same result. How can I fix it?
[email protected]

You could set the width of the image in your html:
<img src="/images/image.png" width="200" height="260" />
Alternatively, you can set the image width to 100% in your css if the containing div is actually the correct dimensions. If neither of these fix the problem I will need to see your code.
Regards,
Ben
PS. Photoshop's Save For Web feature is primarily for managing file types, color profiles, and meta data.

Is it possible to import an image w/ transparent background from photoshop?

Hello,
I was wondering if it's possible to import an image which contains a transparent part of it into Motion, so I can later add in images and videos underneath that layer.
Thanks for your time.

hi again,
there are two ways to do this. In Photoshop you can elect to have a transparent background, if you erase your image to show the chequered background, Motion will do the same.
Or from within Motion you can apply a mask to an image to have it show whats underneath. Apply the mask using the mask tools in the toolbar to the image, then step over to the Inspector, hit the mask tab and select the type as subtract. That will punch a hole in your image revealing whatever is underneath it.
thanks
adam
