Images blurry when merged with background - Captivate 5

I am trying to merge my buttons and several text boxes onto the background in order to keep file size down.  When I merge with the background the buttos become blurry and the test is blurry.  Any suggestions on how to correct this issue?
Thanks!

If the only reason is to keep the file size down then it is pointless as merging them with the background will not reduce the file size as they are still images. If they are image buttons ie not interactive than you could try placing them on a master slide. You only need to place the images once into the library then drag them from the library to reuse and captivate will be only using the image size once reducing file size and using the one image multiple times.

  • Merge with Background Intermittent Problem

    I would appreciate some help with an intermittent problem I've been experiencing with version 6 and 7 of Captivate.
    Sometimes the merge with background option just doesn't work, the image disappears whilst others times it works perfectly.  I cannot identify the reason behind this.  Sometimes it takes a save or a preview of the project before it will do the merge and sometimes it just will not work.
    I am not using any Master slide objects on top or the master slide background and it happens in many different projects.
    Sometimes some slides it will work on and not others.  If anyone has any ideas what the reason behind the option working or not could be I would be grateful to hear them.
    Thanks

    Sadly I still haven't found the cause for this and in fact the other day just part of the image was disappearing when I did the merge.  I just have to leave the image as a separate entity until it merges properly or in some cases permanently.

  • Why don't I have the merge with background option in version 5.5?

    In ealier versions I could right-click on the object and then select merge with background, I no longer have this option, where did it go?

    Hi there
    Usually the option is not available because the slide is using a Master Slide. Clear the Master Slide option and you should see the option re-appear on the menu.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Image blanks when clicking with Polygon Lasso - does not redraw

    When I am in an image, selecting an area with the polygon lasso tool, every time I click a point, the image blanks out and does not redraw. I am left with my pologon selection lines and a white image where the photo should be.
    The only way to get the image back is to force it to scroll. I have to extend the tool off one side of the image or another to make it scroll.  Otherwise the screen does not redraw.  I am forced to work with my images in a window instead of fullscreen to ensure that I have part of the image to scroll to when the image blanks out.  It is doing this with every click of the polygon lasso tool.
    Needless to say, this is maddening!  Has anyone seen this behavior before? 
    I am running Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows XP and the program is up to date.  I have two gigs of ram and have moved up the memory allocated to Photoshop from half to two thirds.  I have stopped having other programs opened.  I also tried turning off the preference for the 3D graphics acceleration. So far nothing has worked to fix the problem.
    I have about 1100 product photos to clip out - HELP!
    Many thanks,
    Lynne

    I have reset the prefs, first for the polygon tool, which did not fix the problem.  Then I held down the keys on startup and told it to delete the prefs file.  I am still having the problem, although not on every single click.  It has become intermittant, which is bizarre!
    This laptop was recently completely reformatted and reloaded with everything when they passed it down to me.
    I checked my video driver and it is up to date.  I am on a Dell XPS Gen2 laptop running NVIDIA Gforce Go 6800 Ultra.  Unfortunately the NVIDIA site is referring me back to Dell for the driver, and the Dell driver has not been updated since 2005.  Oh, the joys of running on older equipement!

  • Recovery of Calendar data lost when Merging with iCloud

    I Was wondering if anyone could help.
    Basically, I have somehow managed to wipe ALL the entries from my partners iPhone 5c calendar when turning calendars on for iCloud. When prompted I pressed the merge calendars button and then everything disappeared. I turned iCloud calendars off again and the calendar which was called something like "on my iphone" has disappeared.
    I downloaded some 3rd party software which scanned the phone and found the calendar entries, but to restore them would cost my £55 for the full version of the software. Is there a way to access this data and restore it without spending this sort of money?
    Just to complicate matters, a backup of her phone hasn't been done since the start of june, roughly 7 weeks ago. I'm concerned that if I restore from that backup she'll lose contacts she's added since there along with saves and other updates she's made to apps on her phone, which will put me in even more trouble than I'm in already. I'm guessing the phone hasn't been synced with iTunes since this backup was made, although I have transferred recent purchases.
    So, is there a way to recover the calendar data that has disappeared without losing anything else?
    Thanks for for your help

    Hi
    No I hadn't created a Calendar Archive before this mishap (I will now), and I thought it would be covered by the Time Machine Backup.   I was activating my iCloud drive for the first time and I think that it was doing this that somehow lost the calendar data. Previously the Calendar data was on the Mac hard drive.
    I have now managed to get the old calendar back, but I don't quite know how.
    The links to calendar backup in your reply led me to tinker more with the Time Machine, and the data on the My Passport drive directly. I could not see the any calendar directly in Finder or Time Machine, but a Finder search on My Passport's latest backup showed various calendar stuff, including .ics files, in [users/myname/library] which were hidden.
    I either restored one of these, or imported one via Calendar. I tried both, but neither seemed to work at the time. However, I reopened Calendar a some time later and found that the “lost” calendar had returned.
    I couldn't find a way of revealing hidden files in the preferences, and I think that the library containing the Calendar files must be hidden because I could only see them via “search”.
    Anyway, all's well that ends well, but I wish that I really knew how I fixed it. Thanks for your help.

  • Why are my still images Blurry when applying effects?

    I am creating a slideshow video using images with up to 18mp.  The images look wonderful clear and sharp until I try and add video effects to the slide, like zooming in or panning. 
    I am a user of both CS5.5 at work and newly acquired CS6 for home.  I like what I have been able to do, however this makes me very frustrated when everything looks good except for the images with effects.  Should I be applying effects differently?  or what?
    Thanks,

    >Didn't mean to start an argument
    = Little Devil with a Grin !!!
    Stick around for awhile... there is OFTEN a good deal of "healthy discussion" (ie-disagreement) that goes on here
    That discussion brings out a LOT of different experiences (you say X doesn't work... but it works just fine for "me") that sometimes, maybe even often, leads to increased and/or new knowledge for everyone
    Other times, you just need to realize that what works for "me" may, or may not, work for "you" exactly the same way based on your work flow
    Read what everyone offers, try what you can... and make LOTS of notes so, over time, you will develop work practices that work best for you
    Personal example...
    Many people export out of PPro as MPEG2-DVD to then use Encore to author a DVD
    My PERSONAL work flow is to export my AVCHD edits to Widescreen DV AVI to give to Encore... so I may use Encore's Automatic Transcoding setting to make a "best" fit of video length to size (single or dual layer) of DVD
    This is because I just don't care to get into all the details of figuring out the PPro settings when exporting... I let Encore do all the math for me
    That process works just fine for me... other people want to figure out their own math for the PPro export settings
    I say what I do, and why, but I certainly do not TELL anyone else that they MUST do it my way

  • Why are my images blurry when I save my doc as a pdf?

    I have Microsoft Word 2007. I am trying to save a document with a lot of images to a pdf but after I save it as a pdf...all my images are blurry? I have tried saving the images as a TIF (using Snagit) instead of a JPEG because I thought the problem was with the image. But perhaps it is with my Adobe Reader. I had a friend try fixing the pdf file from her computer and her images come out great while mine are still blurry.

    Hello there,
    Thanks for posting. Did you convert the file to PDF using Acrobat.com (www.acrobat.com)? If not, you may want to give it a try. That being said, it sounds as though it could also be a settings issue in Adobe Reader; unfortunately, if that's the case, I won't be able to offer much assistance. Perhaps this thread in the Adobe Acrobat forum will be of help:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/305911
    It may not be of specific help, but it may put you on the right path. Please let me know if you need additional help or information and I will do my best to elaborate.
    Best regards,
    Rebecca

  • Image information when hovering with mouse?

    Hi,
    would like to display a text box when hovering over different images, showing image information (Image name, photographer etc). I.e. in the likes of the hyperlink text box that appears over hyperlinks.
    Is this possible to do in iWeb?
    Cheers!

    You can do that easily with iWeb SEO. If you're hosting your site at MobileME then launch SEO and click on the Load iDisk Sites button.
    If you're hosting on a 3rd party ftp server you will need to publish your site to a folder on your hard drive and use the Open Website button.  Afterward the site folder will need to be uploaded using a 3rd party ftp client like  Cyberduck. You could use SEO to upload the site but users have reported less than stellar results with it.  Give it a try and if it works OK for you go for it.

  • 3D Images Shift When Merged Together

    Everytime I attempt to merge two 3D images, they will shift position. I really think this is a bug, and would hope that you have a solution! Thanks, Weewood 

    How do you render them? I've only seen this with the live renderer, but if you initiate a final render for output everything should work properly.

  • Statistical Forecast not saved when generated with background planning job

    Hello All,
    The system I am working on is SCM 5.0 Support pack 15.
    When I execute the planning job in the background to generate a statistical forecast, the job completes sucessfully, I have a spool that shows the forecast profile was executed (Auto Mod 2) with the appropriate model messages and the last two messages are 'Data saved successfully' and 'No data has been changed; data must not be saved', but when I go into interactive planning to view the forecast, there is no forecast in my key figure.
    My planning area has the forecast settings maintained for Statistical Forecast, Corrected History, and Ex-Post Forecast key figures.  My forecast profile is looking at the History key figure and Statistical Forecast key figure.  My time series has been initialized for 36 months of History and 18 months of forecast.  My planning book is set to have the Statistical Forecast Key figure as output only.  My activity and planning job are set to execute in the appropriate planning book (in order to see the forecast alerts I have selected) with the specific selection profiles (no navigational attributes), and the aggregation level set (no navigational attributes).
    The only way for me to see a forecast is to change the Statistical key figure setting in the planning book to output/input, execute the forecast job in the background, and then go into interactive planning.  Am I missing something?  Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Roxane H.

    Hello Senthilrajan,
    I have executed the forecast in the foreground using the same planning book as the background job and same forecast profile (Auto Model 2)with a selection from the batch run (pulled a selection from the spool list) and it generated a forecast with the same messages as my background job except for the last two lines (Data saved successfully and No data has been changed, data must not be saved) that I was able to copy back into interactive planning.  I then used this selection in the background job to execute the forecast in the background and did not see a forecast in interactive planning and received the same messages as before -
    Data saved successfully
    No data has been changed, data must not be saved
    The reason we run the forecast in this book is to allow our Demand Planners to view the forecast alerts by book and/or selection directly in interactive planning instead of having to get their from the Alert Monitor.  It has worked in the past and is currently working in the same environment just with a different planning book, selections, forecast profiles, and data.  It generates a forecast with no 'No data has been changed, data must not be saved' message and the forecast is written in the key figure and is viewable in interactive planning with out manipulating the key figure to be input/output (it is set to output only).
    Any further assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

  • Help! Images blurry when emailed through lightroom

    I am new to photo editing and Lightroom, but I am encountering this problem and haven't been able to find a solution through searching online. I will edit a photo in Lightroom and it will look great. I will then attempt to export it, and then select email.  I started using the standard settings but when the images are received in email, they are very blurry. I then tried making sure that it was sharpened for screen viewing and still didn't help.
    Suggestions?

    What size are the images in Lightroom? I am asking about pixels (width and height), not file size in megabtyes/kilobytes.
    What size are the images after you export them from Ligthroom? I am asking about pixels (width and height), not file size in megabtyes/kilobytes.
    What export settings have you chosen in the File Sizing section of the Lightroom Export dialog box?

  • Why does my image change when imported into Mac Captivate?

    The image is a png and originally part of a Captivate 6 template created in Windows. When I import the image into Mac OS X Captivate 6 the quality literally changes before my eyes.
    Can anyone tell me why this is happening? and how I can correct it?
    Thank you!

    If that's the only place you used that unique font, yes.  Convert the textbox to an image file by applying a drop shadow to the font and setting the opacity of the drop shadow to 5%.

  • Podcast photo thumbnail image deletes when syncing with computer

    Subject line says it all.
    Download a podcast via wifi direct to phone, no problems. Podcast image (logo, host photo) visible on phone.
    Download podcast to iTunes, image visible on computer in iTunes, sync phone with itunes/computer, image does not get to phone and any existing images on the phone go away - Podcast audio makes it to the phone, but the image associated with the podcast, all gone - Just an empty black box where the image should be.
    How to fix?
    Keeps me from syncing my phone with my computer.

    I would assume that your restore should have done everything a Reset would, nevertheless, try the Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe! You have nothing to lose in more ways than one!

  • Photoshop brush does not represent correctly when recorded with Adobe Captivate 7 How do I Fix this?

    Hello I have only just recently purchased adobe captivate 7.
    I am currently recording some footage in Photoshop and when ever I change the photoshop's brush size it does not correctly record it in Captivate but rather a giant pixelated version of it. or the brush does not match the size of the brush it is painting.
    It looks like something like this, http://imgur.com/a/Ko6Wg
    I was wondering if it is possible to record the cursor as it displays on my screen.
    below you can clearly see it is recording the brush size at the wrong size to what is been drawn. its kinda random in how it does it.
    Thanks ahead for anyone who has a soultion.

    Hi! I have the same problem and I was wondering if you ever figured how to fix it.

  • Ask your question.Why are images blurry when using io7

    Using new operating system images on web sites and Instagram are blurred. Almost like the colors of a 3 D picture.

    It sound like there is some data corruption somewhere.
    Have you tried disconnecting from iCloud and then seeing how it behaves on your iPad. If it is okay, then there is a problem with your iCloud calender - do you perhaps incorporate other calendars into iCloud and one them is causing the problem?
    If disconnecting from iCloud does not sort the problem, then you might want to try deleting everything in your March diary (of course using Day or Week view). Once everything is deleted is it okay? If it is okay then re-enter your stuff for March.
    I know that this might be quite labourious but this might just sort it.
