Image Placing Issue

Hi everyone,
I've got a weird image placing thing going on. These are jpegs that contain clipping paths created in Photoshop. When I place them with click and drag (to size them how I want), they appear much larger than expected and don't fit into their frame like so:
(This is supposed to be an image of a hutch that fits into this frame)
InDesign used to automatically scale the placed image to the frame when I placed it. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere that will get me this function back?
Thanks for any reply,
Andy

Ok! both issues resolved!
- The first issue was indeed resolved by trashing the prefs. Now when I go File>Place, click and drag, the image fits the frame instead of bleeding way out of it.
- The second issue was resolved by me finding the options box I was unaware of, which is found under Object>Fitting>Frame Fitting Options. My Content Fitting option was set to "Fit Content to Frame" which causes anything pasted into a frame to "squish" into that frame, thus distorting it, as see in my last screenshot above. Now with fitting set to "None", or "Fit Content Proportionally" I can resize and scale in proportion as desired.
Thanks again Petter!

Last image placed in the document comes up as being modified constantly

I have an indesign issue.
Running CS4 (6.06) and CS5 (7.0.4)
On snow leopard 10.6.8
On a Mac Pro Quad-Core Intel Xeon
My problem is that when I have a document with images in for some reason it seems that the last image placed in the document comes up as being modified.
I do the required update everything appears up to date save the job and the same link will again show as being modified, so I get in to an infinite loop.
This happen with documents saved locally and on a server, with documents I created and documents I have picked up form other artworkers.
It is not an issue with specific link as we have seen this in many linked images, I tried to identify a trigger for this problem.
I took 4 images placed them into a document save locally in my desktop opened closed the document after each image was placed, it work fine for all 4 images on there own. I added a text box to my document saved and the last image placed then flagged are being modified in my links panel, I deleted the image that was flagged as modified from the document and saved, as soon as I saved the next image in placed order now came up as being modified (this image was not flagged and being modified when I have 4 images placed).
If I remove the text box from this document at any point then no images are flagged as modified.
Just to confirm. This in not based around one document, specific images or one mac. I didn’t have this issue with 10.5.8 and Older CS4 on the same machine.
Please help??

You said this is not an issue on just one machine. Does this mean that other machines are alos showing this behavior?
The first thing to try for any flakiness like this is: Replace Your Preferences
That said, this sounds like it coud be some sort of conflict. Are you running any third-party plugins?

Image quality issues in PS - word to PDF

Hi,
I am having major image quality issues when trying to make my word document a clean, clear PDF. Images become distorted. Borders for tables and text that are equal px size look like they are different sizes throughout the document.
I have searched the internet, read help, and tried many different things:
Word 2007 - Changed image %, image size, export options, adjusted px for borders, used different styles
Acrobat 9 Pro - Changed import settings, import options, print options, tried press quality, high quality, etc.
Photoshop CS4 - Changed ppx, file format, compression options
What can I do to get a clean, clear PDF file with the images and borders preserved?
Thank you.

In converting a MS Office file to PDF, Photoshop cannot help in any way and will likely cause more harm as it may rasterize vector data. Expect your ideal answer in the Acrobat forum.

Illustator Image placed in InDesign CS5 moving position when Exporting to PDF

I have a Illustrator image placed on a master page and when I go to export to a PDF the image moves to the left about 2 inches.
The same image on another master page outputs correctly.
I copied and pasted it from the page that is working correctly to this master page, but it still moves.
Any ideas?

PHP Image Gallery with Images placed every other paragraph

Currently I have multiple images that where uploaded to the details page of Post 1. Every other paragraph I have an image displayed. With say 5 images.
What I would like is that the user can click on the image and open up a gallery (on the same page, like Lightbox Gallery) and view through the other 4 images related to Post 1, as these images may not be full resolution on the details page.
If I understand correctly, Lightbox makes a small thumbnail preview of the images, which I don't want, and lists them like a Gallery (Next to each other). Can anyone direct me on the best way to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Riley

Sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean lightbox actually created the thumbnails, but it produces them similar to the link you provided which I don't want. My image uploader does create thumbnail images, but only one per new post.
My format is similar to this:
POST 1
Text Paragraph1 (Image1 )
Text Paragraph1 (               )
Text Paragraph1 (               )
Text Paragraph1 (               )
(Image2) Text Paragraph2
(               ) Text Paragraph2
(               ) Text Paragraph2
(               ) Text Paragraph2
Now what I would like is that they can click on the picture and it opens up the image at say 600px X 600px resolution, with the next/prev buttons so they can browse through only the picutres on this page.
I have been trying to find an example but seems that some take you to a different page of just the image you clicked on, or a new page with the gallery.
I like how the lightbox gallery opens up on the same page, that way you close out of it and can continue reading. But I want to be able to have the images placed in different positions on the page, and not in a row like with a Gallery.
I hope I help clarified what I am trying to do.

More Image/stylesheet issues

Hello again,
Just wondering if anyone could give me some quick style sheet issues, have an img class that looks a little something like this:
img {
border: 5px solid #adadad ! important ;
padding: 5px ! important ;
margin: 4px, 4px, 4px, 4px ! important ;
-moz-border-radius: 15px;
-webkit-border-radius: 15px;
border-radius: 15px;
Which works like magic for getting me a nice curved border in most modern browsers.
Now there are one or two small icon type images that I need to not have a border as they are actually within the text - can anyone think of a way of setting up RH9 so that I can have an image that doesn't follow these styles?
I am sure it will be to do with over riding these styles but not sure how to do this because it is not like I am selecting a style for the image files - they are just getting their styles from the img selector...
Anyone got any suggestions?
much 'preciated.

Hi Willam
I'm a bit confused by what you suggested. You seem to be implying that this won't work and the image paths will break. But I've not found this to be the case. I just tested by creating an image and later creating some nested subfolders and using the variable in topics in each of the subfolders. I then generated WebHelp and viewed and I had no broken images at all. RoboHelp was able to manage the relative pathing to the image without issue.
Have you noticed otherwise?
I'm a believe in erring on the side of caution, but it would seem that (for me anyway) the worry is unfounded.
Cheers... Rick

AS fails to identify an image placed in html text via an img tag in a TextArea, while doing so correctly with textField.

A best-efforts session with identifying, in ActionScript, an
image placed in a TextArea and identified with id, leads me to
wonder whether the id attribute is supported.
I have on disk a jpeg file of the amazom.com logo, a small
image.
In a scene, I have a TextArea with instance name
TextAreaPane, and a Dynamic textField with instance name
DynamicPane. Both of the html attributes in their properties panes
are set to true. There is a button onstage with instance name
"ShowIt".
If my script reads:
copyToShow = 'This is one place to see it: <img
src="D:/Imgs/amazon.jpg" id="nineties"><br>'
TextAreaPane.text = copyToShow;
DynamicPane.htmlText = copyToShow;
ShowIt.onPress = function( )
trace ("Via TextArea, I can identify: " +
TextAreaPane.nineties);
trace ("Via the textField, I can identify: " +
DynamicPane.nineties);
After the movie loads both in the Player and in the Windows
Projector, the image and text show correctly in both text panes.
When I hit the button, I get:
Via TextArea, I can identify: undefined
Via the textField, I can identify:
_level0.DynamicPane.nineties
Hitting the button after the scene starts playing allows the
very short asynchronous access time to elapse, so this isn't a case
of loading a textfield in one line of script, and then in the next
line expecting for ActionScript to have access to it.
Of course for the Projector I send these statements to a
textField on stage to see what trace gives me, and they're the
same.
I tried placing the two fields inside a movie clip (and
adding that movie clip instance name to the head of their dot
addresses), wondering if being a sub-object of a movie clip would
help, but the same results -- the textField handles it, while
TextArea doesn't.
... Does anyone have a means of getting better results?

Tim,
Many thanks for the clue and the amendments -- once I had
finished a late night of it, a cleanup chore unearthed a magazine
that's had me engrossed for a day and a half and produced the
appearance of ignoring your replies; actually the computers have
been off.
I won't be back to it for another few hours at least, but
wanted to acknowledge the support; the hints in your message look
like they'll be the beginning of another day at it; I'll send word
when there's some kind of results.
I sent the same message to Adobe in their LiveDocs section, a
forum where they variously now tolerate people saying 'How d'ya do
this', 'How d'ya do
that', then now reply that that isn't the right forum for
how-to's, but rather for documentation problems. Well, since the
intro to TextArea says that it supports all the html that Flash
does, I added in the message that the inability to do the
dot-addressing-image-access that they explain under id is a
discrepancy, so qualifies to post even if they're in their
rule-adhering mood, but it hasn't appeared yet -- either under
review or discarded.
The reason I'd chosen TextArea was that the text column will
sometimes be long, and it would be nice to get the overage out of
sight by having a window that shows only the window's worth, hiding
what's above and below. (As you probably know, since attempting to
cover text in a dynamic field with a mask causes all of it to
disappear, that isn't an option.) The other night I felt I'd hit an
impassable wall with Flash; in resigning myself to use the Dynamic
Text field, I decided to cover the text overage with a translucent
screen of color, and be it due to having no choice that it may, the
desaturated stretches of text above and below would add ornament
and atmosphere to the screen, a faintly techno note. Since there
will often two to four of these scrolling fields going, an
intricate, happenstance pattern would develop that might turn out
to be nice.
But if the avenue you've opened starts working, I'll have my
choice between the two objects.

Please help out resolve this issuse.
Thanks in advance

The only work around that I found was to rename the image file. Once renaming occurred, the image file when updated was rendered correctly. I have read an earlier bug report that claimed this was fixed. I do not believe it to be so. If anyone has any additional information please present it.

Image Quality issue with script

So I recently wrote a simple script to output an image at a bunch of different resolutions. However, I am running into an image quality issue that I don't run into when I do the same thing manually.
Here is an example image showcasing the image: http://terminalvelocity.ca/temp/notworking.jpg
As you can see along the top of the model's forhead there is destinct color fragmentation. Which seems very strange.
Here is the script, it is pretty simple, it asks for a few simple config options. (the above image was created using default settings). It then figures out the correct ratios and loops through doing each resize, saving the image, then reverting the history so each iteration uses the original image data and not the resized version:
doc = app.activeDocument;
openFilePath = Folder.selectDialog ("Where do you want the images to be saved?");
maxSize = Number(prompt("What would you like to be the maximum length of the long edge? (Image is never upsized) (pixels)", 2800));
minSize = Number(prompt("What would you like to be the minimum length of the long edge? (pixels)", 100));
gap = Number(prompt("How much smaller should each image be? (pixels)", 100));
quality = Number(prompt("What quality would you like the JPG exported as (0-12)", 10));
var size;
var primary;
var secondary;
if(doc.width > doc.height){
          primary = doc.width;
          secondary = doc.height;
}else{
          primary = doc.height;
          secondary = doc.width;
var ratio = secondary/primary;
var size = [];
for(var i = maxSize;i>minSize;i-=gap){
          var p = i
          var s = i * ratio;
          size.push([p,s]);
var w;
var h;
var n;
for(var i in size){
          if(doc.width > doc.height){
                    w = n = size[i][0];
                    h = size[i][1];
          }else{
                    w = size[i][1];
                    n= h = size[i][0];
          if(doc.width >= w && doc.height >= h){
                    doc.resizeImage(w,h,null,ResampleMethod.BICUBICSHARPER);
                    jpgFile = new File(openFilePath+"/"+n+".jpeg" )
                    jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions()
                    jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = false
                    jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions =
                    FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE
                    jpgSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE
                    jpgSaveOptions.quality = quality
                    app.activeDocument.saveAs(jpgFile, jpgSaveOptions, true,Extension.LOWERCASE);
                    doc.activeHistoryState = doc.historyStates[doc.historyStates.length-2];
In comparison, here is an example of an image of the exact same resolution that does not exhibit this issue at all:
The steps taken to save this image were as follows: http://photography.terminalvelocity.ca/content/images/2012/avery_konrad_6/horizontal/1500. jpg
Image > Resize > Bicubic Sharper (1500px);
Save For Web
     Jpeg
     Quality 75
     Optimzed: true
     Progressive: false
     Blur: 0
     Convert to sRGB: true
Anyway, as you can see, The manually exported image does not have any of the quality issues that are present within the scripted image. I am pretty new to photoshop scriping so am assuming it has something to do with me missing some sort of option in the save settings. Any help would be swell.
Also note, this doesn't occur on all images, I usually don't see an issue when using the script, however, something about the tones of this particular photo make it really obvious.
I am using the latest version of Photoshop CS6 (creative cloud) on Max OSX
thanks so much!

I'm on windows find the bicubicsharper does not work well it the image being resized has been highly sharpened all ready. Because of my Photoshop preferences I had to make minor modification to your script. I'm also a bit colorblind so i don't see many color issues so I include a screen capture if what windows does with your image and script.

Bizarre Lightroom image quality issue

I have a weird image quality issue with Lightroom, when opening RAW files (haven't tried it with any other file format, admittedly).
Here's an example of how the image appears in Lightroom. As an experiment, I exported the image as a TIFF and opened it in Gimp to see if it was just down to a display issue, but the exported TIFF showed the same quality issues as Lightroom. Aside from exporting as a TIFF (and then saving as a Jpeg), this image is SOOC:
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/swisstony10/4912360565/" title="IMG_4134 by swisstony10, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4093/4912360565_5891c0160f.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="IMG_4134" /></a>
If I open the same image in Canon's own DPP software, this image quality issue does not occur, so I know that it's not an issue with the memory card, the camera, or my laptop's monitor. The SOOC image from DPP (exported as a Jpeg) looks like this:
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/swisstony10/4912362053/" title="IMG_4134b by swisstony10, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4116/4912362053_1ca92078c9.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="IMG_4134b" /></a>
Has anybody else experienced this, and if so, is there a fix? (there had better be - I'm not going to be overly chuffed if my expensive Adobe software is being outperformed by the free stuff.. )
Russ.

This is proving to be an extremely helpful forum!
Thanks for the advice on embedding my calibrated colour space - I don't very often send files anywhere other than my own home network (where all the monitors are calibrated), and when I do upload any to Flickr, it's never caused a problem in the past (and if I get anything printed by a lab, I use their ICC profile). I'll definitely keep that all in mind though..
Here's the original RAW file of the image I used as the example https://www.yousendit.com/download/aHlUa3ZONmNFd2Z2Wmc9PQ - I hope that helps someone to shed some light on what's going wrong. From what you've said though, it does look as if this is just an extreme example of something that Lightroom isn't very good at doing.
As I said in my original post, it'll be a bit disappointing if that's the case though, because a fair amount of the pictures I take tend to be of bands playing in what are, let's face it, diabolical conditions for photography. (At the festival I was attending at the weekend for example, all of the photographers - even the seasoned pros - were moaning about how awful the lighting was in the Big Top, and how much it sucked to try and get a decent picture there, as opposed to the main stage where everybody wasn't completely backlit by either red or purple lights. I appreciate that Lightroom is a much more powerful tool than Canon's DPP - the noise reduction controls on their own completely rock - but I must admit I'm a bit surprised that it can't handle highlights terribly well...

Image Persistence - Image Retention issues - iMac

Hello everyone. When is Apple going to fix all the image retention issues, or as Apple would call it image persistence? I find it to be horrendous that Apple is calling this "normal". There is nothing normal about having an image ghosted or stuck on your display. I hope Apple gets with LG on this and fixes these issues because a fix is long overdue. This has been plaguing iMacs for years now. I have had 2 iMacs in a row that have had this issue straight out of the box. Can anyone tell me why some IPS displays do this and others do not? Is this because Apple is buying junk from LG?

Images placed by InCopy disappearing in InDesign

Hi,
Does anybody ever faced a problem with images placed by InCopy CS5 (running Windows 7), that desapears when the INCA or INDD file is opened back in InDesign CS5 (running Windows 7).
A client of mine (a newspaper publisher) is trying to solve this problem that they never had when they worked with InCopy CS3 and InDesign CS3, but started the same day they upgraded to CS5 version. Sometimes the images appears rotated in InDesign.
This problem appears randomly (average three times each 100 images) and we cant identify any kind of feature or property of the images that make it happens, but is very annoying (the art team needs to place the image again) and quite dangerous if nobody realizes the rotation.
Kind regards,
Ricardo Minoru Horie

I´ll recomend to the managers of all departments envolved to check the Link panels as soon as possible in InD and InC when the problems happens again, but as far I could see, in both aplications and all users, it's like that the the images were never placed. The InC users places de images from a folder in a Server, and everybody have privilegies to read and write into the server.
All the templates and InD files were created in the CS3 version and converted to CS5 version by the opening process.
Unfortunatly, due the fact that there are not a kind of "model of behavior", the problems can happen in any file, page or image frame.
It looks like that a Gremlin that lives into the server, ramdomly chooses a few images every day and erase or rotate them... rs rs
I´ll suggest to them to try to isolate the problematic frames into the InC and InD files to delete and recreate these frames into the templates files, or even the entire page or file.
I would like to thank you for your helpful suggestions and I promisse to keep you informed about the solution of this mistery.
Kind regards

Save takes MUCH longer with images placed

When I have images placed in Illustrator, even just a few small ones, Save takes much longer..so long that it can be 20 seconds before I even see the progress bar, and after that the saving actually happens.
Is there a way around this, or are we stuck wtih mind-numbing save times when we have raster elements placed in Illustrator?
