Import an image into a document

I see this asked on other posts but I don't see an answer so I'm going to ask again...
I'm using Designer 7.0, windows XP pro on a Dell D600 laptop with 1 gig of RAM.
I want to import an image into a docement and the image doesn't appear to be supported. I've tried jpg and tif. Some images will work and others won't. Is there a solution for this?
Thanks

Irv,
Thanks for the reply. The images that didn't work were CMYK. When I converted to RGB they worked.
The images that didn't work were coming up with random grey scale colors.
Thanks again,
Kurt

InDesign CS3 Scripting XML Import Multiple Images into same Text Frame

I am having trouble importing multiple images into the same Text Frame using XML import. I imported 5 images into the text frame. However, all 5 images are laying on top of one another. Does anyone know if there is a way to have all images laying out like how Microsoft Word handles inline images, i.e., laying out next image to the right of previsous image in the same line and if there is not enough space left in the line, then wrap to next line. Thanks in advance. I understand I could use JavaScript to do post import processing, e.g, calculate the image size and place each images accordingly. But I am trying to see whether there is a way to do this without scripts.

You can apply an object style to all anchored images by script. A text frame containing main flow should be selected.
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var textFrame = app.selection[0];
var rectangles = textFrame.texts[0].rectangles;
if (rectangles.length > 0) {
for (var i=0; i < rectangles.length; i++) {
rectangles[i].appliedObjectStyle = doc.objectStyles.item("Cover");
However, there is a better approach:
Step 1
Create place holders for a single "Book" element and format it as needed -- apply an object style to the cover.
Step 2
Import the xml file -- the placeholders are replaced with data from the 1st xml element
Step 3
Drag & drop the element containing all "Books" elements into the main flow -- all elements are placed and formatted the same way as in step 1.
Finally, add a new page, click the overset text icon and autoflow text to add pages so that to fit all the text.
Hope this helps.

I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

Can't import any images into lightroom 5

Working away in my studio and suddenly I can't import any images into lightroom 5 (version5.5) for macbook pro os x 10.9.5

Thank you for your response,
...my complete goofiness.
I somehow managed to change my destination folder in Lightroom when importing images and could not copy to the "location" (or as the right panel indicates, the "destination").
So adjusted my destination folder and am back to importing as usual.

Imovie imports different image into project

I'm trying to create a slideshow using only jpg images. Sometimes (now frequently) when I drag a picture into the slideshow from iphoto, desktop, Adobe Bridge, or even straight out of downloads, the image that actually shows up in imovie is a previously used picture. Sometimes the correct image shows up in the strip, but a different photo shows up in the preview window.
I spent several hours at the Genius Bar yesterday and we dumped a plist and rebuilt the entire iphoto library.
I've got to say that after having imovie closed all night, I reopened it this morning and was able to import correct images into the correct positions on my project, but then it started acting up again (after I cancelled my Genius bar appointment for today!), and is again putting different pictures into the project than I am actually trying to put into the project.
I litterally just need to get about 5 more images into the project!
Please help
Using imovie 11 and OSx 10.7.5
Thanks in advance

I didn't film the video, so I'm not sure what kind of camera was used.
Here is a screenshot of the Quicktime Inspector:
And here is a bit more information about my situation: The video plays fine off of the thumb drive it was given to me on, and it plays fine off of my hard drive. But when I import the video into iMovie, all I see is the one still video shot while the audio plays beneath it. I've tried this on two different computers and on both of them, the video is frozen once it's imported into iMovie.
Bizarre.
I appreciate your help!

When importing an image into Flash, the filesize is reported incorrectly

I saved an image from Photoshop using "Save for Web" and managed to bring the filesize down to 56.5kb. When I import this image into Flash and click on the properties, the reported "Original" filesize is 1884.6kb which is a heck of a lot more. How can I import the image and retain the filesize without having to compress the image further causing a horrible quality image?

right click one of your bitmaps, click properties and tick "allow smoothing". retest.

RH10 suddenly won't let me add/import new images into my project

I have tried accessing the "Insert Image" option using the various methods (menu, toolbar icon, right click menu), but once the dialog box is open, I click on the browse folder to find the image that I added via Explorer, but nothing happens and the app freezes. The only thing I am able to do is close RH via the Task Manager. I have tried rebooting and also tried doing this in multiple projects to make sure it's not my main project with the problem. This same thing happens every time.
I CAN add an image that has already been imported into the project... I tried doing that then using Image Properties to bring in the newly created image... same result... freezes the app. My project is only about 50MB in size... and I probably only have 2 or 3 dozen images in it so far.
I am hoping you are not going to say uninstall and re-install because I don't have the disc with me today... working from home.
Help please.

TOTAL weirdness... so I just got into work... turned on my laptop... so i'm not working remotely... opened my project... at first i got this error:
then i continued to get a series of errors of various kinds.. finally one telling me the cpd file was corrupt... now mind you... I had to restart RH several times yesterday... also did a reboot... and didn't get any of these errors...I also tried to import an image into an older project to see if it was the project or RH.. but i had the same problem with the other project - no.. didn't try a NEW project as I was planning at your suggestion because it's working in my existing project now.
so i deleted the cpd... opened the project.. and tried to import a new image.. and BAM.. it worked like always! WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?
I don't understand what the problem could have been if this wasn't working even without VPN...
Thoughts? I'd like to avoid this issue next time I'm working from home.. which will be next week!

Using Pages 5.2.2: When I drag an image into my document, I lose the related text. I can crop the image, make it smaller, but it is surrounded by blankness that overrides the text. Help?!

Using Pages 5.2.2, MacBook Pro, OSX 10.9.5: I cannot drag an image into my document without it obliterating the text. Even after re-sizing, the image just becomes small inside a larger blank area that appears to cover the saved text. Help?

VBA code to import scanned images into Photoshop CS2 with TWAIN

Hi,
I have to develop a solution that automates the scanning of an image using the TWAIN driver interface. Once scanned, the image appears as a new document in Photoshop where it will be further processed using VBScript scripts.
The solution so far :
Using the freeware 'EZTW32.dll' (copied into C:\WINDOWS\System\), I am able to open the TWAIN scan dialogue on screen, using the function 'TWAIN_AcquireToClipboard(Me.Hwnd, nPixTypes) from the 'EZTW32' dll.
Once the image is scanned, the TWAIN driver is automatically closed, leaving the scanned image on the Windows clipboard.
I then launch Photoshop CS2 using a shell code :
(It is important that Photoshop runs minimized)
Dim strPathname As String
Dim lngShellReturn As Long
Dim appRef As Object
Dim newDocRef
strPathname = "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Photoshop.exe"
lngShellReturn = Shell(strPathname, vbMinimizedNoFocus)
Set appRef = CreateObject("Photoshop.Application")
When Photoshop is running, then a new document is created and the scanned image is pasted into the document from the Windows clipboard...
Set newDocRef = Documents.Add(8.268, 11.693, 600, "New Doc")
newDocRef.Paste
OK, this works up to a point. The newly scanned image appears automatically in Photoshop.
The big problem is that when the user makes a change in resolution or draws a selection box in the TWAIN dialog, this data is not recovered from TWAIN, so the image size parameters in the new document cannot be set.
A beter solution would be to write code that emulates the menu commands in Photoshop CS2:
File -> Import -> [Current Scanner]
that launches the TWAIN driver for the current scanner (the code must close TWAIN immediately after scanning). In this case, the resolution and image selection parameters are also imported into the new document.
I am currently refering to the Photoshop CS2 SDK. Do I need to request the Advanced SDK ?
Once beyond this point, then I think I can continue the image processing routines using VBScript as per the SDK.
Any help or other pointers to the TWAIN problem would be VERY APPRECIATED !
Lars

PLEASE IGNORE MY PREVIOUS POST !
I have now fully resolved the TWAIN problem. It works perfectly and is very robust. I am now continuing with the batch image processing for the newly scanned images using the Photoshop CS2 SDK scripting documents, that I find very detailed, well written, and VERY helpful :)
Peace and love,
Lars

How do I get a 300dpi image into a document as required by CreateSpace.

I need to submit 300 dpi photos in my exported .pdf file to CreateSpace to render sharp clear images when printed on paper. This was no problem in Pages '09. But now dragging, importing, or pasting a 122.9 MB 4800 x 6400 pixel 2000 pixel per inch photo into an iPages 5.0 document yields a 77 KB, 173x231 72 pixel per inch photo in the document. This is an extreme example but all photos seem to have been downsampled to 72 pixels per inch. I understand some of the complexities of translating DPI to PPI and back but throwing away 122.823 MB of data has got to hurt rendering. Is this a new iPages "Feature" or should I be using a different approach? I'm using Preview to check the image DPI and size.

I created my document in pages. Dragged photos, that I had resized and resampled in Preview to make sure they were 300DPI at least, into the document. I then export the document to .pdf using BEST image quality.
The exported document was flagged by CreateSpace for 72DPI rather than 300DPI images. When I checked the document I found when I selected an image, copied it, and brought it up in Preview as New From Clip board, it was indeed 72DPI and much smaller than the original that I drug into the document.
I then found that this happens immediately when it is copied from a folder and pasted into Pages. Copy a 1 MB image and paste it to both Preview and Pages. Then go into pages, select the image, copy it, and paste it into Preview. Show inspector on the two images I've gone from 1.4MB to 300DPI .tiff file to 44KB 72DPI .png file.
The same happens on .jpg files.

Importing photoshop images into Final Cut??

I am having trouble importing an image I have which is a photoshop file and has layers with a transparent background and whenever I import it into Final Cut it always has a white background. Is there a way of making it transparent like the original photoshop format.
Thanks Heaps
Ash

Hi -
In Photoshop, go to the menu Image > Mode and make sure RGB Color is selected and 8 Bits/Channel is selected, and re-save the document.

Importing photoshop images into fcp?

I'm currently working on a project where i'm having to blend in images/photos (jpeg/tiff format) with the HD footage i'm editing with. Simple question really; do you recommend that I re-size the images in photoshop so that the image is the same dimensions as the footage in final cut? I know some blurring/loss of image quality will occur but that's not important at this stage.
For instance my settings in fcp are HD 1440x1080, 16:9 aspect ratio. Just so I don't get left with big black borders around my photos once they're in the sequence is it best that I doctor them in photoshop and size them to the exact fcp frame that i'm working with?
I assume that if the image is too big for the frame in fcp it will crop the image so it fits nicely?
Thanks for your help on this,
Alex

Your assumptions are all misguided; you're in control of everything FCP will attempt to do to your still images. However, you need to understand how to wrest that control from the defaults and that's a few dozen pages in the manuals.
Bringing layered Photoshop documents into FCP is different than importing still image files. Another section in the manual. There are entire websites dedicated to this topic, too, and you're going to to need to experiement on the numerous techniques suggested.
At its basic level, you want your images to have pixel dimensions that will support the maximum zoom you will want to use. If all of your images are simple full frames, create your still in the exact pixel dimensions of your sequence. Yes, you must understand the difference between square and rectangular pixels. Manual again.
If you intend to do zooms or other complex moves, you will want to size your images about 200% larger than your HD sequence.
Still images have no fields, only sequences do.
Stick around for a few more days and you'll get several additional posts.

How do I import multiple images into single individual cells?

Hi folks,
I'm new to the Mac (yeah!) and imagine there just has to be a way to import a bunch of images into separate cells in Mac "Numbers" ... am I right?
Essentially what I'd like to do is a file folder with 600 images in it, and import those directly into Mac Numbers with one picture being assigned to it's own cell. So if below were a spreadsheet it would look like this:
Actual Picture - Picture Name - Item Description ... and so on.
I'm trying to work with inventory items, and this is the only way I can think of doing it. Suggestions!?!?
Here is a link to creating a macro in Excel to do a similar thing:

Thanks for your help.

D,
I guess you're taking another shot at getting a response. You risk getting parallel discussions going with the same content.
What you are contemplating seems logical enough, but I think you will find that it is impractical in Numbers. Given the size of photograph files these days, you will choke Numbers in short order. You will have to be careful that you embed only photos large enough to be of use/viewable, and keep your full-sized copies elsewhere. You might find that an Apple Script can do the import for you, but otherwise it's drag and drop from the Media Browser.

Can't import still images into a project or create a podcast track

I'd be grateful if anyone can explain why I can't import still images onto a track like you can easily do in garage band - in garage band you simply create a podcast track, then drag your photos onto it. However in logic, when I open the media browser i can get a photo folder up but it will not allow me to even look at the contents.
Also, why is it that the manual for logic express has nothing about how to import a movie to produce a movie score - and yet garage band can even do this.
Thanks for any advice.

Have you tried "Working with Video" section of the manual? It's somewhere close to the end...
Logic works with audio, not images. That's why you can't import a photo, because media browser is used to locate audio files, mostly. And sometimes video.
I guess it works this way, you create a podcast with Logic, bounce it to mp3 or another compressed format. Then import it into GB and insert a photo.
