In Design CS 5.5, Can I link to large image files ??

Dear friends,
We are creating a 111 page file that links to about 120 large picture files.  Each picture file is about 40MB.  Doing this seems like it will slow down my computer's ability to quickly edit the file, because it will be so large.
QUESTION: What are some ways around this?
What is recommended?
Shall I place the files, and then somehow TURN DOWN the "display performance" ?
Or should I make SMALLER versions of all 120 files, then replace them with the large files when I am about to print to PDF?  (That sounds like a LOT of work)

I'm not sure you are using the term "embedding" properly here.
You want to link the images by using File > Place... That includes a pointer to the entire file and a preview inthe ID file, but not the actual image data. In order to embed (which saves a complete copy of the image data inside the ID file and will make it HUGE), you must slect the link in the Links panel and choose Embed from the panel flyout menu.
It's also possible to copy and paste vector drawings into ID and the will not show in the links panel at all. I recommend against this in favor of Placing them as well. Complex pasted vector objects can cause significant slowdown whenver the screen has to be redrawn.

    One of the available commands in the Action Wizard is Print (under the More
    Tools sub-section). You create a new Action, add that command and then run
    it on your files to print them all.

    That's a bit excessive.  The website http://convert.neevia.com/pdfcompress/ can compress files up to 5 MB in size. You may want to print to PDF single smaller pages, or print the document and scan it one page at a time to PDF, and then use the PDF compress tools to shrink it further.

  • How can I insert a link to an image file into numbers

    I wish to include access to images in a numbers spreadsheet without actually inserting the images. Doing this where the image is a web page is not difficult but these images are on my local drive. I tried dropping an image file onto Safari ( the image opens as a page in Safari) and then copying the URL ( it has the form:  file:///Users/JTC_49/Documents/Pictures/IMG_0248.JPG )  and using it to create a link ( Format>Add a Link>paste the URL into the 'link' field). That all seems to work but when you click on the link you get a message " Couldnt Open Link ". A web page link would open a browser and display the linked page. This does not appear to try to open a browser to pass the URL.

    Open the parent file. Go to Tools> Advanced Editing> Link tool. Then draw an area in the parent file with the link tool to open the new file. You will get the Create link dialog box. Under Link action, select "Open a file" and click on next. Select the file to open and click on Select button. You will get the "Specify Open Preference Window".  Select  "New Window"  and Click on OK. Save the file and re-open it. This time the new file will open in a new window keeping the parent file.

  • Gallery - Link from large image

    Having started with the spry image gallery, I am having
    trouble adding a link using the large image. Anyone know how to
    extract the image ID and make it a link for the large image to go
    to a detail page.

    Hi Henry,
    Here's a way how to do that:
    1. Add a js function that sets a new url for the image
    onclick everytime the source of the image changes. Add it in the
    head of the page (right after the XMLDataSets declarations):
    // this function is called every time the source for the main
    image is changed
    function SetMainImageLink(curRow) {
    var img = document.getElementById("mainImage");
    if (!img)
    return;
    var path = 'product_detail.cfm?ID=' + curRow["@path"];
    img.onclick = function() {
    window.location.href=path;
    2. open gallery.js file and locate this function: "function
    ShowCurrentImage()"
    3. call SetMainImageLink from within ShowCurrentImage. Here's
    the full source for the modified function ShowCurrentImage()):
    function ShowCurrentImage()
    var curRow = dsPhotos.getCurrentRow();
    SetMainImageLink(curRow);
    SetMainImage("galleries/" +
    dsGalleries.getCurrentRow()["@base"] + "images/" + curRow["@path"],
    curRow["@width"], curRow["@height"], "tn" + curRow["ds_RowID"]);
    4. (optional) you can edit the img tag and add a style on it,
    so it display a hand cursor when you mouse over it.
    <img id="mainImage" alt="main image"
    style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer;"/>
    Hope this helps you,
    best regards,

  • Linking vs. embedding image files

    Hi all,
    How does Illustrator handle placed and linked image files? I created a document that has some very simple vector art on top of a placed image. The image is placed and linked, not embedded. The Illy file is 41mb, and the image is 50mb. If the image is linked, why is the Illy file so dang big? I could understand the file being large if the image is embedded...
    (and Why isn't this type of file handling similar to InDe?)
    Just looking for some insight.
    Thanks, Dina

    You could save as a Low-res PDF with Illustrator Editing Capability enabled. This file would be similar to a default Illustrator file, except that you can control the quality of the embedded PDF. The biggest drawback to this is the files will be PDFs instead of AIs and double-clicking will open them in Perview or Acrobat unless you change the default app for PDF files, which you probably don’t want to do. You would then need to manually open the files in Illustrator by dragging to the dock or using File > Open from Illustrator. Also, since hte files are PDFs, it would not be immediadely obvious to other users that these are actually fully editable Illustrator files. I think this is too high a price to pay for a Finder preview.

  • How can I send a large video file from my iPhone 4?

    How can I send (by text) a (fairly) large video file from my iPhone 4 without it getting compressed first?
    If that's not possible is there a way to uncompress the video file one it is received onto the receiving iPhone?
    Or is there a way to sync or transfer a video file from iPhone to iPhone?

    ExFAT would be the best file system format, as it will handle files greater than 4GB.
    If exFAT is not available, go for FAT32.
    Just FAT is too limiting, so avoid that

  • Can I back up individual image files to a slideshow DVD created in Premiere Elements 4.0?

    I created a Premiere Elements 4.0 Project including 3 separate photo slideshows. The slideshows were created in Photoshop Elements 6.0 and imported into my Premiere Elements project. I was hoping that when burning the project to DVD, my image files would also be individually backed up.
    When I give the DVD to family members I would like them to have access to the image files so they can print or use them individually. I would like to do this in 1 single DVD rather than giving them a DVD with the slideshows and a DVD with the image files. I was able to do this with a previous DVD authoring program I was using, but I cannot figure it out with Premiere Elements 4.0.
    Any ideas if this is do-able with Premiere Elements 4? (I am running Windows Vista Home premium SP1 - 64bit - 3GB RAM)

    Thanks for your help. I tried this. I burned the project to a folder (4.7GB) then to that folder I added a folder with my photos. So in the folder there was "Photos", "OpenDVD" and "Video_TS". I had 3 separate folders within the "Photos" folder, to keep the 3 slideshow photos grouped.
    I burned the entire folder to a DVD using my burn tool. I don't even know the name of the software I used, but I think it was just the Toshiba burn tool. I dragged and dropped the folder into my new disc folder, then at the top of my screen clicked "burn to disc", I named the disc and chose from the formating options "Mastered: disc can be read on other computers and some CD/DVD... no new data can be added..."
    Once burned I checked it on my DVD player and now it recognizes only the individual jpg files so it does a generic slideshow of these images rather than my slideshow project. (no menu, music...) Putting the disc in my computer I could access either the files or the slideshow project, but not on my home DVD player.
    I burned the folders to 2 separate discs, once dragging the whole folder to the disc and once opening the folder and dragging only the individual folders to the disc.
    Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. thanks.

  • How can I copy and paste images' file?

    I need to duplicate images' files (.jpeg or .gif) from a directory to another one.
    How can I do?
    Is there any method to do that?(with jdk1.3.1)
    Thanks for your help.

    The following class copies files. Just call "java FileCopier file1 file2". FileInputStream and FileOutputStream also accept File instances instead of Strings, which will help when you work with different directories.
    // file: FileCopier.java
    import java.io.*;
    public class FileCopier {
      private String fileIn, fileOut;
      private int buffersize = 32768;
      public FileCopier(String fileIn, String fileOut) {
        this.fileIn = fileIn;
        this.fileOut = fileOut;
      public void copy() throws IOException {
        FileInputStream reader = new FileInputStream(fileIn);
        FileOutputStream writer = new FileOutputStream(fileOut);
        byte[] buffer = new byte[buffersize];
        int read;
        while( (read = reader.read(buffer, 0, buffersize)) > 0 ) {
          writer.write(buffer, 0, read);
        writer.flush();
      public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
        FileCopier copier = new FileCopier(args[0], args[1]);
        copier.copy();
    }

  • Thumbnail image links to larger image - how?

    Mac OX 10.4.11 - GoLive CS(1) I want to create a series of thumbnail images that would act as link to a single large image area (see example http://www.markvelasquez.com/gallery.php?cid=1&pid=5 but ignore the dubious images). 10 or so different thumbnail images would show singularly in the large image area only, and only when activated by a click on a thumbnail.
    I have used slide show (SlideShow.action) in the past but this does not allow for user randon choice, is there an action for this in GoLive.

    Hi...
    You didn't mention whether you wanted a free or commercial Action so have a look at CyberGallery 6.1 for GoLive at http://www.actionscafe.com/Features_Folder/CyberGallery/cgfeatures.html. The GoLive version doesn't have some of the later Dreamweaver features but will let you set up a thumbnails that expand into full size display images when they are clicked.

  • Can I re-locate my image files?

    I imported about 80GB of pictures into iPhoto, leaving the images themselves on my NAS (I couldn't afford to lose 80GB of space on my Macbook Air!).
    Some time later, I was forced to move the image folders to another NAS.  iPhoto now (quite reasonably!) complains that it cannot find the image files.  Is there some way I can persuade it to to reconnect with the images in their new location?  Or will I have to start again from scratch?

    iPhoto does not have a built-in option to relocate and reconnect original image files. If you want routinely to work with referenced original images and be able to relocate original files freely, I'd upgrade to Aperture.
    To fix your immediate problem I'd put the referenced original files back to where you removed them from and use iPhoto Library manager to create a reconnected copy of your iPhoto Library on your new NAS.

  • How come 5.0 can't open local desktop images files (.jpg, .tif, .png ...) on my Mac anymore?

    I'm using Mac 10.6.8 and the newest version of Firefox 5.0. I have always been able to select File > Open File from the Firefox menu and select any image file on my computer and view it in the browser window. Suddenly I can't do this. All image files on my system are greyed out and not accessible. I can open html files from my local desktop and all images are present but can't open any .css files or single image files.

    Here's the *.tiff file.
    I've had to switch browser to Safari, as you can't load a tiff in Firefox, either.

  • Can the iPad display RAW image files?

    I know you can import RAW image files from a camera to the iPad.  Will the iPad be able to display the RAW image files?

    1) No you can't sync PDFs (Yes I know, this really annoys me too) I can sync and view a 700mb movie but can't sync and view a 1mb PDF, go figure. The only way I have found to save a PDF is to make a folder in my .Mac account then place an email with a PDF attachment into this folder. Now when you open it in Mail you can only view it in Portrait View (Vertical). So trying to read a PDF is almost impossible unless you enlarge it to the point where half the page is off the screen. Yea this phone has PDF support, but the worst, most limited support imaginable.
    2) Nope, you can't save PDFs from Safari (Or save anything else for that matter.)

  • DVDSP3-Can You Make A Disk Image File From DVDSP3?

    *Hello again. I'm just finishing up my first go around w/DVDSP3. I was surprised that when I got to the burning options, that there was no option for burning a disk image file. Is it do-able on this program?*
    *I burned out one disk and tested it on a couple different players, and "finally" it was good. After the burn, the prompt just said "Formatting finished". There was no option to burn another disk, nor could I find any place to bring up a menu, to tell it that I needed 4 disks. Therefore, it was hours just to get 4-15minute dvds burned, as it started the build all over again each time. Thanks again for the help!*
    LarryWest

    In the Format - even the Build and Format too - dialog, you have an option to write the disc to the hard drive.
    If you need to make a copy at a later date (even after you've nuked everything from your hard drives, you can use Disk Utility in OS X to make a disc image from an existing DVD-R, then burn additional copies.
