Image size too big after drag and drop from iphoto

I capture around 30 images/day with a point and shoot digital camera (5 MB/image). These images are used as content for about 10 documents/day that I create in Pages. After importing them into the computer I convert to grayscale and resize (via batch processing) in photoshop, so that each image is about 2x2.67 inches, 300ppi, and drop into iphoto. This is the size/resolution that i want them to be when i import them into the pages documents I am creating. When i drag them into pages though they resize to 72 ppi, as if the default is that the document will be seen on the screen and not printed. I then have to resize them again from within pages, which is a pain. Does anybody know what I am doing wrong?
Thank you.

You'll get best help on a question like that on Adobe's InDesign forum.

Preview Icons Missing after Drag and Drop from Cumulous/Mediadex

When using Cumulous to drag images from the catalogue to a folder, the image icon reverts to the generic .eps. or tiff or jpg.
Let me add this this is inconsistent. Some images from the folder retain their icon identity, while others don't. Further, sometimes the preview image will be there, other times the generic, for the same image, if I darg and drop it a few times...
If copying directly from the original image location folder, the image preview icon is there.
What is going on? I have rebuilt permissions. Latest OSX, G4 1gz, 1gb ram

Hi, Lance.
Well, if my theory is incorrect, then I suggest you discuss this with the folks at Canto or Quark. I use neither product: I was trying to suggest a theory as your question had gone unanswered for some time, and a related question comes up here from time to time re: icon previews and Finder. You may want to be sure you have the latest updates/patches for Cumulus and Quark.
Both Canto and Quark have their own forums, ala Apple Discussions, so you may want to search them or post your question on such (links in this paragraph are to their forums).
Canto also has a support form permitting you to submit questions to them: it requires your Cumulus serial number.
About the only other thing I can suggest is the following, though I'd recommend trying those company-specific forums first. You've not stated the specific version of Mac OS X you are using on the affected Mac ("latest OSX" implies 10.4.4 but knowing the specific version helps). If you also installed QuickTime 7.0.4, that may be an issue. Here's why:
Sometimes third-party A/V apps that depend on QuickTime (QT) support can become problematic with new versions of QT, at least until the developer has time to make changes to their app corresponding to the changes in the latest version of QT. For situations like that, Apple has been publishing QT Reinstallers that will remove the latest version of QT and reinstall a previous, stable version, such as the "QuickTime 7.0.1 Reinstaller for QuickTime 7.0.4."
Note that the existence of a Reinstaller corresponding to the current version of QT does not imply the current version has bugs. Rather it is a safety net in case some third-party A/V app has issues with the current version of QT.
I looked into the Canto documentation a bit and this indicates it does use QuickTime.
That's about all I can suggest. Perhaps someone else with an identical configuration may have more to add.
Good luck!

Can't drag and drop from iPhoto

For what ever reason my iPhoto will no longer allow me to drag photos and drop them into files on my desktop. It was letting my do it this morning so I would assume it is more a glitch than a permanent problem, if anyone could give me any suggestions as to how I could get it back in working order that would be great thank you.
It is a
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3
and Iphoto '11 version 9.1.5 (615)

Hey Pencarnan, let's try to isolate this down a bit as there could be a few factors in play here.
Would you create a new iPhoto library (hold down option and click "new library"), add a couple pictures to it, and try to drag/drop from that one? I want to see if this is going to be an issue with iPhoto, or with the OS.
Let me know how it goes!

Can't drag and drop from iPhoto to iWeb anymore!

I used to be able to drag photos from iPhoto into a photo page in iWeb. Now when I do so, large versions of the photos show up, overlapping one another instead of fitting neatly into little boxes on the photo page like they used to do. Does anyone have any idea what would cause this and how to fix it? I have the latest versions of iWeb and iPhoto.
Thanks in advance.

Never mind (duh). I was trying to put more than 99 pix on a page.
Duh.

Hello, does anyone know why when i drag and drop from the internet,why my images never show up?

hello, does anyone know why when i drag and drop from the internet,why my images never show up?

I'm wanting to drag images from the internet into a folder on my desktop or hard drive. I am used to being able to drag just about any image from any website off the web and into a folder on my old mac, but since I got my laptop, I've noticed I cannot do that. Is it a preference?

How can i let a move clip complete his motion tween movement after dragging and dropping it

hi how can i let a move clip complete his motion tween movement after dragging and dropping it
i am using this code and there is a motion tween applies to the movie clip r_mc
r_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,fun); r_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,fun2); function fun(event:MouseEvent):void { stop(); r_mc.startDrag();
function fun2(event:MouseEvent):void {
play(); r_mc.stopDrag();

i have a simple .fla file wich contains MC that has
a motion tween(its moving from the left to the right of the stage)
this motion tween covers the whole time line ( there is only 50 frames in the time line)
i mean in the frame 1 the MC appears in the left of the stage
and in the frame 50 the MC appears in the right of the stage and there is a motion tween between them
every thing till now working well
i want to make that MC dragabble
so when i drag the MC i will use stop()
and when i drop it i will use play()
but the problem is that the mc doesnt move and complete
his motion tween movement when i drop it
for example the MC will be in the middle of the stage in frame 25
in this frame (25) i am draging the MC ,stoping the timeline,dropping the MC and resum playing the timeline again
but the MC freezes in the middle of the stage and doesnt go to the right of the stageo until the flash loops and start from the frame 1 again
here is the example wich i am worikng on

thank u very much and sorry for my bad English

ITunes 11.0.4 still copying files to media library after dragging and dropping while holding down "option"

I'm having trouble adding media without automatically copying the file to the iTunes media libary after dragging and dropping while holding down "option."
In Preferences > Advanced, "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library" is checked. When I drag a file into iTunes while holding "option", the green "plus" icon disappears. However, iTunes still copies the file to media folder.
Any suggestions?

you can also try:
I found that if I SCROLL down to the word 'playlist' and hover around the name, a 'show' comes up. Click on the 'show' and everything magically appears.

Drag and drop from Lightroom into Premiere doesn't work in Windows

I recently switched from OSX to Windows and noticed that in Windows, I'm unable to drag and drop from LIghtroom into Premiere. In OSX, it worked fine.
I do this a lot because it's a time saver. I basically use lightroom to find the photo or video clip I need for my editing project and then just drag in right on to the Premiere timeline. Now I have to do the extra step in Lightroom of "show in explorer", then drag the file from explorer to Premiere. Not really a big deal but just curious why it works in OSX and not Windows.
I'm running latest Windows 8.1, Lightroom 5.4, Camera Raw 8.4, and Premiere Pro CC 7.2.2 (33)
-Pete

Hi Pete,
You can obtain scripts here:
http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/MiscLrPlugins#MiscScripts
You'll have to edit lua code to adapt for Premiere. Not that hard really (e.g. clone, then change the script name and path to executable..), but may be too intimidating for some folks. If you are one of those folks, go for the plugin instead - it's usable via GUI - no lua code - can probably accomplish the same thing.

Let me know (outside the forum please) if problems - thanks,
Rob

I can't drag and drop from a data CD I recorded

I recently burned some audiobooks files (in mp3 format) as data cd's in Toast 8.0.1. When I go to reload them back onto my 20" 2 Ghz Dual Core Intel I can't drag and drop the files directly into any folder while using the columns view in a finder window. I can do it if I drag onto the music folder and let it spring open down to the level of the folder. I also can drag the mp3's into iTunes and then into the folder. This is not CD related since I used several diff brands.
I constantly update, backup, repair permissions, and do other maintenance so everything is up to date. I have noticed this behavior just since I started to use the program called Audiobook Builder. I am (and have always used) a non-admin user account. When this started a few months ago it seemed to go away with a restart, permission repair, or a logout but now it seems permanant. I checked user permissions on my home folder - I have not added any software since adding Audiobook Builder. Any idea's? I read something about trashing a com.apple pref but didn't try that.
I suspect Audiobook Builder since it changes the permissions and filetype to the iTunes Audiobook filetype but have not seen anyone reference this.

I agree, I can't see much reason for drag-and-drop to drag the unprocessed image - in other words, an image that isn't the one that you see when you drag and drop. I can see that just filling this forum with "why the heck does it do that????????" posts. I could be wrong, but I suspect that Adobe won't do that.
But if you do want to drag-and-drop the original unprocessed image, you can do it very easily now. Right click the image, choose "show in Explorer", and then drag-and-drop from Explorer.

Drag and Drop from LR to other applications

There was a thread going on D&D from LR to explorer.
The other appliation problem I have is the apparent inability to drag and drop from lightroom into a file transfer window (e.g., file upload with SmugMug).
The quick collection is an awesome way to organize a storyline of images from a shoot, select only the images needed, and prepare a shoot for upload. However, short of exporting to a folder first, is there a way to just drag and drop the file set from a LR view (filmstrip or thumbs) to another app? This would just be providing file handles, and I would be satisfied if it only grabbed the original images (pre-"develop").
Anyone have any luck with this?
-- Jeff

No. And not likely anytime soon. Putting a Pointer/alias to SmugMug (if it is an uploader client app, not familiar with it) in the Export Actions Folder for Post Processing from Export is the best you can do at the monemt. To get LR rdits out of LR you have to Export. D&D just isn't going to do that for you.

Cant drag and drop from file-roller to nautilus when using List View

Hi, im using file-roller and i can only use drag and drop feature from file-roller when i use Icon View. If i select List View i cant drag and drop.
Is that an expected behavior or its a bug? Is there a patch or work around? (File Roller 2.20.1 and Gnome 2.20.2)
I think its a problem with file-roller cause in my other box, running ubuntu 7.10 i have the same problem, but i can drag and drop from ark even when using List View.
Thx!

Well, sorry for the double post, but after a little research i found this is a bug, actually a not yet implemented feature. There is a patch and probably its going to be merged in next version.
Ill try to apply the patch myself, if it works could the maintainer Jan de Groot put it on the repository?
Here is the bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171655

I can't drag and drop from photos 1.0 to desktop

I can't drag and drop from photos 1.0 to desktop

What happens if you double click on the thumbnail to view the photo in a larger size? If you Control-click on the thumbnail and select "Show File" or "Show Original" (if it's been edited) are you taken to the folder where the original file is located an it highlighted?

Why I can't drag and drop from lightroom?

Something I would expect from asset managment soft. Am I missing something?

I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader. I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

If you could drag and drop pages before, it wasn't in Reader. You no doubt had Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Standard) which shouldn't be confused with Adobe Acrobat Reader. They recently added Acrobat to the name of Adobe Reader so the confusion about which product you had and/or have is understandable.

Downloads dragged and dropped from Firefox download window into Outlook e-mail show as file location text.

I have a user who normally can drag files from Firefox's Download window into an e-mail in Outlook and it creates an attachment of that file in the e-mail. However, lately, the dragged .pdf or whatever file only shows up as a text file location like:
\\file:%Downloads%\randomfile.pdf
It's not a link either, it's just the text.
I've tried doing a repair of Outlook.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 19.
I've tested dragging items from the desktop to the e-mail and it works fine.
I can't drag and drop from the Downloads window to the desktop.
I just wanted to add this user is using Windows XP Pro.

I can confirm that this is an issue with the newest release of Firefox. I just upgraded my Firefox, which was previously 18.02 to 19.0 and now I'm getting the same error. It's a bug.
