Image resizes when dragged to new window

All my images change size when I move them to a new window. I am making numerous graphics that need to be exact for collage like purposes; I will work them in their own window and will drag the finished images to a separate window to print(graphics are small, and I want to fill a print page with as many as possible) My issue is that whenever I drag the images to the new window they re size, usually larger. The new window is the same size as old. This is also happening when I print but image will be smaller than what is seen in image size dialog box. Please advise. Thank you

I assume that you are working with Elements v.3 or v.4.
In order to avoid a major size disparity as you describe in making a collage, have the resolution of the canvas and the picture files the same. For example, go to File>New>Blank file and establish width, height, and resolution. Click ok. For printing, it is desirable to have resolution 240-300px/in.
Next set the resolution of the picture files to a similar value. You may have to resample in order to achieve this. Minor degrees of size adjustment in the collage can be achieved via the handles in the move tool. Note that each picture file will be on its own layer, allowing for this type of adjustment readily.
Feel free to repost if you have additional problems as you go on with your project.

Slideshow image resizing when adding new images

I am creating a series of slideshows on multiple pages. I created one slide show using the "basic" slideshow and resized it to the dimensions and settings I wanted. I have many pictures all of different proportion, therefore, I selected the "fill frame proportionally" so they would all fit the dimension I set. I wanted to use this first slideshow as a template for all of the rest. I added images to this first slideshow with no problems. All of my different sized images scaled or cropped to fit within the dimension I set. The problem comes in when I do two things: 1) When I add other images of different dimensions to this same slideshow gallery, they come smaller that the intended dimensions I set previous. I check the setting and it is still on "fill frame proportionally" similar to the first batch of pictures. 2) The second issue is when copy this slideshow as a template to other pages. When I try to replace or add to the slideshow gallery, the images come in cropped or smaller rather than filling the frame. Again, the settings are still the same from my very first slideshow that worked just as i intended.
I could resize all the images to all the same dimensions using another program like photoshop, but that is another step that is very tedious and it would seem that it should be something built into Muse.
Is there a way around this?. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this just one of those glitches that happens with Muse? I appreciate any help that I can get.
Thanks!

Hi, I got it to work like this:
Using background colours in Photoshop so that all sizes are the same in pixels. Then manually adjusting thumbnails by double-clicking on them so that a red square appears.
Cheers,

Hi there Elsemiekagain,
I had to fiddle around with my slide show to get it to work. That is, it worked at first, then went funky, and I had to fiddle. So much fiddling that I can't possibly know what actually made it start to work again.
And to some degree, this is the way that I find Muse to be in general. That it requires finessing to get it to work as expected. This adds a good deal of time to every development project, though I am getting better at this with practice and experience.
Most of it is not even things that could be easily put in words as instructions, as many are nanced. But in fairness, this version of Muse is a complete code re-write this year. So we do need to cut Adobe some slack, and give the team time to iron things out.

When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?

When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?

Yes, you can do something like that. What you would do is create a button for each image and then hide them. When I do this type of thing I place all of the buttons on a template page and then hide the template.
You can then use JavaScript to copy the icon from any of the hidden buttons to the main button that you've set up to display the image. For example, suppose you set up 10 buttons named b1, b2, b3, ...b10. The code to copy the icon from one of them to the button used to display the image (b0) would be something like this:
// Get the icon from the b3 button
var oIcon = getField("b3").buttonGetIcon();
// Get reference to the b0 button
var f = getField("b0");
// Set the icon of the b0 button to the icon retrieved from the hidden button
f.buttonSetIcon(oIcon);
// Show the b0 button
f.display = display.visible;
This code would go in the Mouse Up event of the smaller button.

Large image in lightbox opens in new window

I added a lightbox gallery to my site and it was working fine. Then, I tried to add more thumbnails and that's when problems started. Some of the larger images wouldnt load at all so I then started over with a new page/gallery, deleted files off the server and tried uploading again. The quirky thing is that the gallery works fine on my computer but when I upload it onto the server and view it from the web it doesn't work correctly. The larger images open up in a new window Im guessing that I'm missing something on the server but I don't know what. I reuploaded everything on the local server and still nothing. Can anyone help?

I finally got it to work by deleting files off the remote and uploading again. Thought I did that last night but I guess this morning I did something right that I had missed.

Spry Gallery - how to get large image to open in a new window?

Hey guys,
I'm building a new website and decided to use Spry for the Gallery section. It works like a charm but I want to get the larger version of the image to open in a new window when someone clicks on the normal image? It shouldn't be that difficult but I'm lost. Can anyone help?
I believe I have to put a <a href> infront of the image something like this:
<div id="picture">
<div id="mainImageOutline" style="width: 0px; height: 0px;"><a href="?????" target="_blank" id="??????"><img id="mainImage" alt="main image" src=""/></a></div>
</div>
and something to the XML file...
<photo
path = "1.jpg"
width = "300"
height = "400"
thumbpath = "1.jpg"
thumbwidth = "56"
thumbheight = "75"
large = "galleries/xyz/large/1.jpg" <------- this is the large image I want to open in a new windows
>
</photo>
thanks!!

Actually, the site is for my friend and she really likes this Gallery: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/gallery/index-air.html
I just want to keep this one and just edit it, so when I click on the image it opens the large image...

How do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it when you just play a slideshow.

how do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it with presets when you just play a slideshow, but i don't see an option to randomly shuffle the slide order when you create a new slideshow. i know you can sort it by different fields, but i want it to be random. thanks.

If you want to rearrange images in random order you can try an AppleScript:
retrieve a list of selected images from Aperture
shuffe the list properly
create an album in Aperture and add the images from the list to the album (make sure that the album set to be orederd manually)
Here is a sample script that shuffles the selected images and displays them in random order in Full Screen Mode:
on removeItem(ims, i)
-- remove the item at position "i" from a list ims
          if ims is {} then return {}
          if (length of ims is 1) then return {}
          if i < 2 then return rest of ims
          if (i = length of ims) then return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims)
          if i > (length of ims) then return ims -- should be error?
          return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims) & (items (i + 1) thru (length of ims) of ims)
end removeItem
on shuffle_items(ims)
-- shuffle the items of the list "ims" randomly
          local numitems, ims_shuffled, nextrest, nextpick, i
          set numitems to length of ims
          if length of ims < 2 then return ims
          set ims_shuffled to {}
          set nextrest to ims
          repeat until nextrest is {}
                    set i to (random number (numitems - 1)) + 1
                    set nextpick to item i of nextrest
                    set beginning of ims_shuffled to nextpick
                    set numitems to numitems - 1
                    set nextrest to removeItem(nextrest, i)
          end repeat
          return ims_shuffled
end shuffle_items
on shuffleIms()
-- retrieve the selected images from Aperture
-- and display them in random order in full screen mode
          local imageSel, shuffled, i
          tell application "Aperture"
activate
                    set imageSel to (get selection)
                    set shuffled to my shuffle_items(imageSel)
                    set fullscreen to true
                    if imageSel is {} then error "Please select some images."
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              reveal {item i of shuffled}
delay 3 -- chnage that to the time you want
                    end repeat
                    set fullscreen to false
                    return shuffled
          end tell
end shuffleIms
shuffleIms()
Some more code snippets to go from here:
To create an album:
                    tell library 1
                              if not (exists album "shuffledAlbum") then
make new album with properties {name:"shuffledAlbum", image version:shuffled}
                              end if
                    end tell
And to add the images from the shuffled list to the album:
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              duplicate item i of shuffled to album "shuffledAlbum"
                    end repeat

When Will A New Windows Phone Be Released on Verizon?

When will a new windows phone be released on verizon? What phone will it be? What are you using to get this information?

Let this be known, there is absolutely no way in hell that I'm playing the same ******** VERIZON GAME with the same rules they made up last year that include:
A. Making thier customers wait a year and half, that's is literally 4-18 months longer than any other carrier worldwide
B. Limit the feature set so much that other carriers phone of basically the same model seem to be rooted (no tether, no screen shots, etc.)
C. Release it with almost zero support, the best I could find was a verizon support tech that guessed and fumbled around because there was no training for the trophy's and almost a month after getting it no one could help me get it to work right with voicemail, MM text sending and receiving or even getting it to purchase apps from the marketplace (it would ask for a valid credit card for my account and I had vaild credit cards in every one of Microsoft Live ID accounts) leading me to this
D. I finally figured out a large part of the issue, would have never even happened if Verizon would have provided instructions on something the size of a post it note, for a customer setting up their inital account when very first logging into the phone... Seriously without exageration, after loading and resetting the phone 4 times over a 2 month period both at the instruction of techs that "knew" this issue, and that was 2 of them after talking to about 8 support techs on the phone and going to 3 different stores 2 to them 3 times each (once with 3 of them working on it for about an hour and 15 minutes AND NO ONE was able to ID a large part of the issues I was having as being my Zune account, Xbox Live account, Certified Partner Account and Live/Hotmail email accounts all needed to be created using the same user ID and password and that's the one you need to use to initially set the phone up...
I understand Verizon had a hard-on for Microsoft for partnering up with ATT early on, but hell, with the lack of marketing, support, customer service and general all round **** poor attidude...
Seriously?? ***... The best answer is a god **** guesstimate... Anyway, if I even smell any of that same ******** this time (and yes, that is a legal name for use given how Verizon treats the Windows Phone platform and the customers that want to use it) I'm totally ABVing it (that would be Anyone but Verizon)

It's normal for links to open in the same tab as you browse if you left-click. You can Ctrl+click or middle click to open a link in a new tab. Are either of those broken?
Some sites let you use a regular left click to open a link in a new tab (example: Google search settings), and some add-ons may change link behavior. Can you check whether one of your add-ons has been disabled?
Tools > Add-ons > Extensions
Also, if you use the Ask toolbar, try disabling it and see whether that makes any difference.

Why won't Photoshop revert to earlier history state after image resize when scripted?

I've written an Applescript to automate watermarking and resizing images for my company. Everything generally works fine —　the script saves the initial history state to a variable, resizes the image, adds the appropriate watermark, saves off a jpeg, then reverts to the initial history state for another resize and watermark loop.
The problem is when I try not to use a watermark and only resize by setting the variable `wmColor` to `"None"` or `"None for all"`. It seems that after resizing and saving off a jpeg, Photoshop doesn't like it when I try to revert to the initial history state. This is super annoying, since clearly a resize should count as a history step, and I don't want to rewrite the script to implement multiple open/close operations on the original file. Does anyone know what might be going on? This is the line that's generating the problem (it's in both the doBig and doSmall methods, and throws an error every time I ask it just to do an image resize and change current history state):
                    set current history state of current document to initialState
and here's the whole script:
property type_list : {"JPEG", "TIFF", "PNGf", "8BPS", "BMPf", "GIFf", "PDF ", "PICT"}
property extension_list : {"jpg", "jpeg", "tif", "tiff", "png", "psd", "bmp", "gif", "jp2", "pdf", "pict", "pct", "sgi", "tga"}

As many others here I use JavaScript so I can’t really help you with your problem.
But I’d like to point to »the lazy person’s out« – with many operations that result in creating a new file on disk I simply duplicate the image (and flatten in the same step) to minimize any chance of damaging the original file if the Script should not perform as expected.

Preview Icons vanishing when dragged into new folder.

When dragging an image file (with a preview icon showing the small representation of that image) is dragged from it's original folder to a new one, the preview disappears and is replaced with a generic "EPS" or "Jpeg" grey icon. Futher, if I get information about the file, the preview picture of the image also shows just a generic file type icon, even though I can see clearly the preview icon. This is so frustrating, as I must then batch process images in photoshop to have a new preview image show up.
To make things even more annoying, the process is inconsistent. If I drag the a eps file from the original folder with the image preview into a new folder, the preview may be missing. If I drag and drag, creating multiple copies of the file in a new folder "hnuewf.eps 1, .2, .3 etc...) almost always one of these attempts will copy correctly, with the preview intact. What the heck is going on!

Partilly solved by rebuilding permissions....

I want the cursor to be in the address bar when creating a new window; it works for new tabs and in a new private window, but not in safe mode.

I have tried following the advice offered in the few different threads I have found on this but nothing fixes it. I want the cursor to be in the address bar when I open a new window and/or when firefox opens without restoring a previous session. I fixed the issue for new tabs via about:config but this doesn't work for new windows. I tried safe mode and the problem persists. In new private windows the cursor is in the address bar.

The search box in about:home steals the cursor. Changing your home page to something else will cause the cursor to start in the address bar for new windows.

When opening a new window, any clicks within the new window click through to the original window so you can't scroll or save from the new window.

Anytime that a new window is opened (such as when sending an email message or opening a pdf) I am unable to click on the new window. I can't click send or click on the scroll bars of the new window. If I attempt to click on the window it clicks on whatever is behind the window instead. If the new window opens with a cursor within it then I am able to type or scroll through with keyboard arrows, but cannot click or use the mouse scroll buttons. I also cannot choose items from drop down menus with the mouse (even in the original window). I must use the keyboard arrows to select any menu options.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

should i prefix the url with 'javascript:'?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Shanthi

Hi Shanti,
The URLs that are external to the server, you should always have http://, your image URL is has http:// prefix? Other wise system will always look for the same inside the current BSP application. For Example your BSP application is ZBSP and if you are accessing www.google.com the URL in the browser will be
*******/bsp/ZBSP/www.google.com which will not be existing, hence causing the problem.
If not try adding http:// to the URL by concatenation and try.

Ravi

Why, since CS6 does DW now use ABSOLUTE image paths when dragging images into Design View from a folder in Finder?!

While I am grateful the previous issue I had with not being able to drag files into design view at all (in CC and CC2014) was resolved.
Guys (Adobe), seriously, if you're going to change the functioning of something that used to work just fine, at least supply a way for a user to revert to the old way... I absolutely loathe that I need a legacy version of DW to continue with my current workflow. Please put it back to the way it was, or at least allow a user to chose between the two behaviours.
If there is a way to do this, without using the Site Manager (which still doesn't work from Finder even with relative to document selected), I would appreciate any guidance.
As for using the Site Manager (before some smart guy suggests that I just use that) I do not wish to navigate to and create up to 20 "sites" a week and wait for DW to cache them all, when I am already in the folder with the image assets in Finder.
Also before someone pipes up and says: "You shouldn't be diving sites in design view anyway", I don't... I develop many, many newsletters every week and the folder structure is such that navigation to the actual image folder using the Site Manager would be painful at best.
I don't really like having to and replace all instances of "file:///Users/me/Work/company/Mailers/Year/wk14/mailer/dev/img/prod5.jpg". It is horrendously wasteful, time-wise.
Thanks in advance for any helpful replies

Sorry Murray, DW used to have an idea, my point is that since CS6 its developed a case of Amnesia.
The "elements" are in the "root" folder as follows:
newslettername.htm
img
imagename.jpg
So the relative path would be <img src"img/imagename.jpg" />
However since the change: <img src"file:///Users/me/work/Company/year/week/campaign/img/imagename.jpg" />
Which is completely useless and needs to be corrected before I upload the html anywhere.
As for using the site directory, I did answer that in my initial post. I use a laptop, I really don't want a site manager taking half my screen just so I can see the folder structure and navigate with that, especially since I am already at the files I need in Finder.
Again, this is something that used to work just fine in previous iterations of DW, so I don't believe Adobe is incapable of fixing it nor am I being unreasonable asking for a choice for those that may find the local absolute paths useful in some way. All I want is to be able to chose not to use absolute paths when dragging from Finder.

Previous window opens when opening a new window

When I have a number of windows open, and am looking at, say the third window and wish to open a new window, the last window in the sequence opens just before the new window.
Although the new window will be on screen, as soon as I close the new window, instead of going back to my last viewed window, it goes to the last window in the bar.......it is very annoying and would like to get rid of this problem.

What's an "I bar?"
