Images Started to be Offset

Hello
We are developing a website for a client and are constantly reviewing our progress using Safari. A year or so ago we updated 2 of our iMacs from Safari 5.1.7 to the next version and all of a sudden images on the web pages were offset. It was as if the HTML/CSS/Javascript was not being interpreted properly. However if you clicked on to another page and then returned all would be well!
This was so frustrating that we painfully reverted back to 5.1.7 and thankfully the problem went away. Another designer in the studio soldiered on continuing to update his Safari so that we could monitor if an update fixed the problem. It still offsets the images.
Curiously I have just purchased a new Mac Pro with OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion) and Safari 6.0.1 and I haven't experienced the problem.
It almost seems as if some external source is upsetting how Safari interprets the HTML/CSS/Javascript as my clean Mac Pro has not yet been subjected to it and so displays the web page correctly.
If anyone has any advice or has seen this I would be very interested to hear from you.
Thanks
Chris

Hi
I made a mistake and can't see how to edit my question above. It was Safari 4.0.5 which worked well and the next update after this was when our images started to disappear off the side of the page.
Thanks
Chris

LR 1.1 Improves Greatly on Image Starting Point.

Has anyone else noticed how much better LR 1.1 does compared with LR 1.0 providing the image starting point upon import? I don't think I'm dreaming it but would like some affirmations -- or NOT.
I use a 20d and a linear tone curve.

Fred
Think you might just be right there. For broad spectrum images I do feel there is some improvement in the initial view, either that or my eye sight has improved over the last two weeks :-). Not for *Reds* though which are as terrible as ever. It's said that they chose a sample of cameras (in my case 30D) to set the calibration but I can't believe that the variance in production for the 30D was so great that the models chosen by Adobe for the calibration gave such good Reds whilst at the same time it has been mentioned time and time again on this forum that the *Reds* are just darn horrible.

OSD reference image starts perfect, then begins to degrade resulting in BSOD during OSD

SCCM 2012 R2 on Server 2008R2.
We create our thick reference images in MDT after Patch Tuesday with a build and capture. We don't change our SCCM Deploy Windows TS so the package ID stays the same and we simply overwrite the old .Wim file each time. Our problem is that everything starts
out great and our Tier-2 techs are able to image machines as expected. But over time (it could be a week or a few days) during deployment machines begin to BSOD, get stuck with black screens with only a cursor, or Boot\BCD at the very end of the TS as Windows
starts services, or it'll build seemingly fine and MS Office will try to install for every user and the Windows search bar is missing. Just a bunch of weird nuances. But here's the kicker, if we build in a VM everything is perfect and works the way we designed
it in the reference build.
This TS deploys two OS's, The x64 begins to degrade, the x86 continues without any problems
The same reference image in a separate site (for testing) works fine with no issues. (SCCM 2012R2 on Server 2012)
After replacing the reference image Wim file the builds work, immediately
We only use boot media for our TS, no PXE
We build in the same OU for testing and production which blocks inheritance
Where ever you go, there you are.

Why don't you add the new image to SCCM through the GUI like it's supposed to be done?
I think saying "supposed to" is a bit argumentative, especially since MDT integrates with SCCM. However, we want a clean non-site specific image so we can use it with more than one site. We use SCCM for OSD only, the SCCM agent does not remain after the
image is deployed on the client. Automating the image creation with Powershell in MDT is also a huge benefit.
Regardless, the image begins just fine. It seems something is changing in the environment over time and that's the real issue I believe, not our proven image creation method we've been using for well over a year. It wasn't until we upgraded from SCCM2012
to SCCM2012R2 that we began to see issues.

Recently my images started to print too dark.

I am running LR 4.4, on an Epson XP-850, in OS X 10.9.4 and color profile both the monitor and the printer with ColorMunki Photo. I have re-calibrated three times and each time the prints are WAY too dark. I get the same problem in PS CS5.1. If I print from preview, they actually look better. If I have the Printer manage colors from LR, it looks better. It's like there's a compatibility issue? I have the latest driver from Epson, and have custom profiled my paper to my printer to my monitor?! My printing issues are unique to PS and LR applications which is why I'm starting here. Does anyone have any ideas? I've already uninstalled and reinstalled the printer. I have all the latest firmware and software updates. Thank you!

Easy to say calibrate your monitor but there is much more to look at too. Here is a nice link to read:

How can I delete the image outside of this offset path?

I'm really new to Illustrator, and I'm trying to print an image that will have a CutContour swatch around it, with a bleed outside of the CutContour line. You'll see that I set up the bleed by creating an offset path outside of the CutContour path. However, I would like to delete the rest of the image outside of that, but I'm not sure how to do this. I don't want to print the entire block of the photograph, just the image inside the tracing, leaving the outside white. I thought I could select the offset path and make a Clipping Mask from that but it says it's "too complex" or doesn't do anything at all. I've attached an example since it will probably make more sense to have something to look at in addition to my explanation...

If there are a lot of points in the path you are trying to use as a clipping mask, you could try;
Object > Path > Simplify
Turn on preview, and play with the settings while watching the shape and number of points.

Time since loop starting. Without Offset!!!!

I try to make an indicator that displays the time since the loop started. it sounds quite easy with the "Get time in seconds" and the "format time string". but I always have an offset of exactly 2 hours. Why????
this problem might be stupid but I don't find any solution.
Thanks for any help.

Format time string uses absolute time so what you see is the UTC offset in your timezone. If you format to include date, you will see that the offset is really 99 years since the epoch in LabVIEW is Jan 1, 1903 UTC.
You can use a numeric indicator and in Format and Precision, select "Relative Time" or write your own formatting VI for relative time if the relative time display doesn't fit your needs.

Opening an image in Photoshop CC, and select pixels with any method, the image starts to blink

The entire image is what is blinking, while the photoshop tools remain on.

I actually figured out that just changing the resolution of the screen fixed the problem. The screen resolution had to be different from what it was. Both lowering and raising it fixed the problem. Strange.

In the Picture control, how can I draw a small image at a specific offset within a larger image?

I could use the opposite of "Get Image Subset.vi", like a "Set Image Subset.vi".
The "Draw Flattened Pixmap" function would work if it would let me define the target position instead of the source position.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can use "Draw Unflattened Pixmap.vi". Here is an example:

I'm trying to play an .mp4 video, but it does not display smoothly; image is jumpy. The sound is fine, but the image starts and stops. When I play the same file in WMV, displays just fine.

Any suggestions on what I can try to clear this up? Videos that I have downloaded through iTunes work just fine. I don't know how to troubleshoot this file to see what is causing the issue.

Ok then tell me this what is that DVD your having problem watching then? And what Region Code are you from like Euro is Region 2 and so on??? Could be the Region problem on the DVD doesn't match your drive Region as well?

Get Image Subset VI ignores original image offset

Hi,
I'm have a problem with Get Image Subset VI.
My program gets original image rectangle from a image and apply a offset for draw in a picture control.
But the image cannot across a region delimited by another rectangle. So, i use Get Image Subset with a
image (with offset) and a deilimiter rectangle.
I give the same subset of image with and without offset.

In my opnion the correct result is the highlighted are in the Original Picture With Offset (See attached image ) and not Image Subset.

Putting fileinfo data on bottom of image for use in building a photobook for printing/binding

I wonder if someone on here could help me with a problem I have? I am not a script expert by any means. The term "amateur" is probably pretty accurate!
I have a few hundred pictures I want to include into a (to be printed) photobook. I want to put some key EXIF/Fileinfo data on the images so that they remind me of what file, when it was taken, with what and with what settings. I found an excellent script (by JJmack?) which does what i want with one exception. The script (below) puts the info on the image starting on the top left (0,0) and I really want it to start on the bottom left (so that it looks like a caption). I have tweaked the original 5 lines of data down to one line, and have reduced the font size but I simply do not have the skills to amend it to add the selected text to the bottom left.
I was hoping that someone on this forum might be kind enough to help - not least because I am sure there are others who would want to the same thing? Or am I being a complete idiot and there is a simpler way to achieve what I am trying to do?
Grateful for any help
Michael.

I wrote that script to be used within an Action. The Action uses the script to add the text layer. The text layer becomes the current active layer. The action can then position the layer anywhere over the document by aligning the layer to a selection. Also add a layer style like set fill to 0 and adding a drop shadow and emboss. That is the un-expanded step below the set current layer is setting a style and is lengthy.

Best PPI for Creating New Image in Photoshop

Hi,
Bunch of questions - all in BOLD. I am somewhat new to CS5 and have been playing around with making art in it. Yesterday I created a piece of art simply by selecting 6 inches by 6 inches in the dialog box (because I was thinking of just printing it out at home and gluing it to a 6 x 6 canvas). It defaulted to 72 ppi / RGB as it always does, and I was fine with that when I started the piece and also because I post these pieces of art to my blog on the web.
I am in the process of trying to create art for licensing and understand I will have to create things in CMYK for that (right?). I also understand that I should probably create a PS piece at 300 ppi (or is 355 ppi the new standard?)
I want to create the art on 12 x 12 photoshop windows ("scrapbook size") for manufacturers that will also allow the art to be sampled up and down a little bit (say down to 8 x 8 and up to 20 x 20). Is 300 dpi the best dpi, then, to create the piece at?
Also, is it possible to re-save the file for the web at 72 dpi / RGB for posting to my blog? What is the best way to do this?
Final question, I think, is that I will be printing out my art on my own home printer (4-color HP Vivera inks) for trade shows just to show it and am not concerned that it be the absolute-best of all possible prints. Just a pretty good rendition of it for display purposes and I obviously don't want to go through a boatload of ink and spend 20 years waiting for it to come out of the printer, etc. Can anyone recommend the best setting (CMYK? PPI???) for home-printing of 12 x 12's as such?
Thanks!

that all of these choices will allow me to save it as a copy?
When using Image > Image Size I would recommend duplicating the Image (Image > Duplicate) first to avoid the risk of overwriting the original.
I guess what you are saying is that the manufacturer is able to fiddle with CMYK values that he/she needs and I shouldn't worry about it and just create it in RGB.
Unless you know what space the actual print will be in you better stay in the larger gamut (as most RGB-spaces are likely to be in relation to most CMYK-spaces).
And even if you know the target-space working in RGB offers some advantages and avoids the risk of overshooting the allowed Total Area Coverage (as can happen when working in CMYK-files).
what would be the best way to go about trying to decide what possible CMYK profile I should use, and where in the program would I choose to set it and view it
• Where do you work (North America, Europe, Asia, …)? In Europe FOGRA sets the standard (ISO Coated v2 for sheet fed offset presses at current for example), in other regions of the world different standards may apply.
• What is the likely output for your images (Posters, newspapers, magazines, offset or gravure print, t-shirts, …)?
One can always ask one’s print provider which icc-profile fits their process.
You can use Photoshop’s soft proofing capabilities to get a preview of whatever color-space you find out to be the pertinent one under
View > Proof Setup > Custom
and save that. Then turn View > Proof Colors on or off as needed (command-Y).
But here (as with separation in general) you may want to look into the various Render Intents.
Additionally you can use View > Gamut Warning (command-shift-Y).
can I safely assume when I purchase a scanner and use that in the creation of some work that I should scan things in at 300 ppi?
300ppi effective resolution that is – this means that if you are likely to upscale an image in a layout program like Indesign or just print it out bigger you should do the scan accordingly bigger or with higher resolution so that in the end 300ppi are maintained for products that are likely to be viewed at or less than an arm’s distance.

Component image not getting displayed in Portal

Hi All,
I have added a jpg image to MIME folder in my component and used it as source for Image UI and also as a separator in Breadcrumb. When I run this web dynpro application in portal, the image is not getting rendered. I am getting cross mark instead of the image. But the image is getting displayed if I run the application as a stand alone application from SE80 -> Test. Once I do this, the image starts appering even in portal and again disappears after sometime.
Could you please help me to resolve this issue?
Thanks & Regards,
Vishweshwara P.K.M.

Vishweshwara,
I hope you referred the MIME object in below way.
'/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/ZCOMP_EPI/SELECTED.JPEG'
Where zcomp_epi is my component name and selected.jpg is mime object name. Check and let me know
Regards
Srinvias
