Interactive Image: Text Styles?

Is there a standard text style we can edit to modify what shows up in the text boxes when an interactive image zooms in?
According to the Style menu it's "Body Bullet" text, which just by looking at it you know that's not right. I don't see an "Interactive text" option anywhere in teh menus... assuming it all has to be done manually. BUT if there's a way someone has found to change the default text style within Interactive Images, then I'd only have to do it once and not dozens of times per book. Much like editing layout text (allegedly).
Ideas?

Yah I'm a little surprised Apple has left out so many basic features and also integrated some bizarro-world behaviors not consistent with any other Mac app I've ever used (see also Zoom shortcuts). Cmd +, Cmd-, Cmd-0 anyone? This stuff is not that complicated.
Hopefully we'll get a hefty "polish update" this summer.

  • Interactive Image - Text Gets Cut Off

    Please see image - When second line (unbolded text) is not as lengthy as first line (bolded text) it cuts off. Is this a glitch or can I fix this somehow?

    The first thought is did you save evenything.  I have tried to reproduce your actions - but with a nor text box.. I have no shift in colour.
    Are you  using a standard text box?
    The next thing I see is you  appear to have chosen Apples free template "Editorial" and use it in its standard form.
    Although text box's are not controlled by teh default  template settings,, its advisable to first decide your colour scheme and basic layout in the template - Apple Changes to everything you changed - even of it does request you to.
    The thumb shows the text  box seems to  overlay a photo galleryor some other widget.
    Are you aware that even the basic template sits in layers stacked front to back if any object  on your screen is not  full size, then its possible another layer is cut off ie the content is forced  to flow under a layer which sits on a higher lever.
    In iBA select a layer that is "cut off" and select ARRANGE in the top menu bar and click on Move to front. Check if your  lost content appears. It may be one or more layers are active at levels which block your content.
    Using a basic free template and  then changing content in any way  just on  your work page - can often result  in the default setting overriding your choice in preview.

  • Newly placed images not showing up and Text Styles not previewing correctly

    I was playing around with defining new text styles and they
    looked OK in Dreamweaver but when previewed in browser everything
    was in Times. I deleted all the pre-set styles trying to fix the
    problem out why when I realized now newly placed images don't show
    up in preview, but old images will. I can copy and paste an
    existing image and it will show, but not if I place it new. When
    trying to Manage Site, I kept getting a "Home page is not on
    this...." message. Please help me figure out what I have
    done!!!

    >Home page is not on this...
    Several possibilities spring to mind the first of which is
    you haven't
    defined your site properly or at all
    >previewed in browser everything was in Times
    a link to your stylesheet has an incorrect path
    >realized now newly placed images don't show up in
    preview,
    they should, defined site again?
    If you have a URL we could see the code?
    If not can you post the code here, otherwise these are all
    guesses

  • Can I use photoshop text styles and photoshop actions with creative cloud photography?

    I'm really confused by this subscription pricing. If I purchase the $9.99/month, do I get the full desktop app of Photoshop and Lightroom? But I see on this page Products they list something called Photoshop CC that costs twice as much. How is that different from the Creative Cloud Photography?
    My main question is whether I can use photoshop text styles and photoshop actions with Creative Cloud Photography, since I just purchased a bundle that includes these and I want to be able to use them. But I'd also like to understand what comes with all of the various products and how they are different.
    My other question is how is Lightroom different from Photoshop? I have a sense of what you can do in Photoshop but I don't know much about Lightroom at all.
    One more question: the free trial -- is it limited in any way besides the time length? If I do that, will I get a clear idea of all that I will be able to do once I subscribe, or are the functions limited in the trial?
    I tried to just send an email to Adobe to ask these questions but apparently they are not interested in responding to emails from people who are not yet paying customers, so I was directed here. Thanks very much for your help!

    I always like to trot this bit about Bridge once in a while or in the voice of the "Two Bobs" from Office Space,
    "Can you tell us exactly what it is you do around here?"
    What Adobe Bridge does:
    Bridge is the coordinating hub of the Creative Suite. Synchronizing color management settings for all suite programs is done from Bridge, and can only be done from Bridge, to take one important use.
    Bridge displays actual thumbnails of many more file types than Finder or Explorer. It also allows instant play of sound or video files more readily than the native OS file managers.
    Bridge allows direct access to file metadata, to embed copyright information  and keywords where appropriate (e.g., for corporate logo vector and raster files). It also displays the fonts used in an InDesign file, the swatches in an INDD or AI and the output plates (including spot color plates) they use.
    When managing the assets for a design project, Bridge allows quick and simple sorting, rating and custom labeling (with color flash indications) of assets. I can rate images according to whether they are rejects, possibles, for review by client, or approved. The filters built into Bridge allow instant isolation of only the approved images or designs in a folder, only the rejects (for deletion) or only files with certain ratings, no matter how many files it contains. It recognizes aspect ratios, so if I only need a landscape or a 16:9 image in a folder of hundreds of images, I turn off the aspect ratios I don't need.
    Once filtered, the remaining visible files can be selected and copied, moved, or deleted without affecting the rest of the contents of a folder.
    Collections are a massively useful feature. One of my clients is a performing arts center, and in a season we turn out dozens of ads, flyers, brochures, web banners, playbills, billboards and other collateral using the same assets over and over. These assets are organized by artist and/or show on disk, but I set up each season's repeating assets as a Collection in Bridge, so that I just have to open the collection and drag and drop these assets into new INDD, AI, PSD, HTML (in Dreamweaver), FLA or AE projects without having to navigate from folder to folder picking up individual files.
    Bridge's Favorites is another place I stack frequently-accessed folders, such as stock photography, backgrounds, and top-level folders for active projects.
    Assets can be divided into subfolders, but a quick toggle of "Show items from subfolders" exposes all of the assets in a single view while maintaining their organization. I will typically keep AIs, PSDs, EPSs, stock photography and client images in separate subfolders within a project. When I'm ready to start pulling assets into an InDesign layout, I toggle this on and simply drag what I need into the layout.
    Bridge comes with Adobe Camera Raw built in, which is many times faster than using Photoshop to adjust jpegs or tiffs for things like tonal range, white balance, cropping, spotting and sharpening, and is non-destructive.
    One tremendously useful Bridge function for InDesign CS5+ users is the "Show linked files" feature, which opens all the linked files in a layout into a single view, regardless of where they are physically located. I often use this when doing alternative layouts from a client-approved mockup for a campaign, to be certain the same assets are used in each piece, or when creating a motion graphic or interactive piece for the campaign in After Effects or Flash.
    The batch and image processing scripts built into Bridge automate things like creating web-ready small jpegs from multiple images, renaming large numbers of files in place or by copying to an alternative location, creating sets of PSD, png, jpeg or other file types from an assortment of image files, and so on.
    Bridge is so much a part of my daily workflow that on my main workstation I have one monitor dedicated to it almost 100%. Bridge just sits open 24/7, ready for use. I would run at half speed without it, no question.

  • Battling with Interactive Image

    Because I can't change the position of the explanatory text pane in the Interactive Image I got "creative" and fudged it to be more like how I want it. I set the background of the explanatory text to black (with the text itself white) - to the new "pane" is only ever as big as the explanatory text, rather than uniform across all interactive items. I then set the graphical style of the pane's background to "none" so it doesn't show up and overlap any of the image.
    When previewing on the iPad, however, the pane's background appears and greys out my entire image as the explanatory text appears. Not cool.
    Ideally it'd all just appear in the pop-up bubbles but in a rather silly design decision the width of the unselected bubble is the same as the width of the expanded bubble, making a slightly crowded interactive image totally unreadable.
    Does anyone have any tips on removing the background of the pane in the explanatory text properly?
    J

    1) Open Inspector (make sure the widget is the highlighted/active element).
    2) Click on the widget icon (top right brrwn box with cog in it).
    3) You can now choose "Layout" or "Interaction". You want "Layout".
    4) Check or uncheck the boxes for Title, Caption or Background until you get your desired appearance. You can change the position of the label in there too!

  • Images and styles not showing in Design view on CS3

    Hi all,
    I am playing around with a CSS website template that I downloaded and
    opened in DW-CS3. I am just using this to learn and play around with. It
    came with the style sheet, jpg images etc.
    I just noticed that when in Design view for the index page, that the images
    and styles, menus are not displaying, only the html text is visible in Design view.
    When I preview the site with a browser like IE or FF, it displays fine along with
    any changes I have made.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Regards,
    dano

  • How can I change the color of interactive image label box background.

    Interactive image labels are a bit overwhelming in appearance. Can I change the label background color or make it partially transparent? I have tried several things and looked this up on Lynda.com training but no info.

    don't know how much this might help but you can change some colors using the Inspector as follows:
    from the text menu you can control paragraph and character colors, from the text menu you can control the text color.
    hope this helps...

  • How do I create a text style in CC libraries? Every time I drag and drop text into library form Photoshop or illustrator it turns it into a graphic.

    How do I create a text style in CC libraries? Every time I drag and drop text into library form Photoshop or illustrator it turns it into a graphic.
    If I select the text layer and click the text style button in the library it just creates a new text style for Myriad Pro 12pt - I'm not using that anywhere in my document.
    Can anyone help? Seems like a bug to me as I'm trying what the video tutorials are saying.
    Thanks

    I realize AI is an illustration program.
    Do you realize it is an object-based vector-based program? Do you know the difference between raster-based and vector-based content?
    My question seems to be all over the forum but no one has been able to answer other than exporting to these file formats, which make text look awful and of no use....
    And yet everyone else in the world makes proper web images every day using a plethora of programs, including these...go figure.
    Am I missing something?
    Yep. Pretty much.
    Hello Adobe! People use transparency on website logos.
    Hello, cocteau! What you're calling "transparency" is inherent to object-based vector artwork. But web browsers don't support object-based vector artwork, except via file formats like Flash and SVG, or by viewing as a PDF in a plug-in version of Reader. Raster imaging in general only supports "transparency" by either indexing a specific color (i.e.; "don't display this color", as in GIF) or including an alpha channel (i.e.; "blend all the pixels with existing pixels, based on values from this extra channel", as in PNG). It's all in the raster file format you use, cocteau; it has little-to-nothing to do specifically with Adobe software. Such things are among the most basic matters understood by someone doing web design.
    When I export an eps from .ai file, and open the eps in photoshop,...I save as a gif for the web, it goes back to the original problem...creates jagged text. I"m giving up on this garbage...Thanks a lot adobe! Lower the price of this software if this is all that can be done.
    Once it leaves Photoshop (or Illustrator, or whatever) as a non-proprietary raster image format, it's all about what the format can do re "transparency". You can do this stuff with most any graphics program. You should read about basic web design and the differences between raster and vector content, rather than rant.

  • Changing color of Interactive Image label?

    i'm pretty clear on how to alter the title, caption, border of an Interactive Image, but i'm wondering if there is a way to change the color, orientation and appearance (other than font) for the associated labels? any help would be great. thanks!

    fabe: i totally get that -- and you're right -- a good designer would understand that the labels shouldn't upstage the graphic to which they refer. to that end, i think that effect would be enhanced if you looked at the default screen and simply saw (unboxed) labels, and then when you clicked opn the text, you'd zoom in and the text might even get a little transparent so the graphic is even more accentuated. i also think it would be cool if you could control the default view of the label (change it's colors, characteristics, transparency, etc) and then when setting its zoomed-in view, you'd also be able to change the label's colors, characteristics, transparency, etc, as well. honestly, i'm sort of relieved to know this isn't possible in ibooks author 1.0 (maybe in 2.0?) because i looked and looked AND looked. btw, the app is INCREBIBLY intuitive -- pretty **** remarkable, in fact. you have done an amazing job, so thanks so much! bob (ps: so glad i waited for a great wysiwyg ibook tool -- and that apple released it. i plan in converting a number of my out-of-print books -- and will be using ibooks author!) http://www.bobstaake.com/page5.shtml)

  • IBook author interactive image label: graphic control is locked?

    The interactive image lets you adjust the frame and background, but not the labels nor end the point styles! The ability is there but it is locked! Here's a screen shot showing the 'greyed out' control options. Is there a trick to enable the capability? Or is it on the debug list for the next update? 

    Hello Vita,
    When I was last working with this widget and came across the same issue.
    The only way to try and control it was by adding in character returns to change the height and to stretch the box out by the handles at the left and right of the box itself. But yes it would be great to have more control over the the parameters.

  • Interactive Image PDF: grainy pixel, labels off

    I have been wrestling to understand how to create an interactive image. I added the Interactive Image widget, then I dropped a nice scalable (small) vector PDF as image. I got some views, but it doesn't work very well. E.g. the labels end up at large distance of the image, even if I drop them closer, the nice scalable PDF looks grainy on the iPad, it seems it has been rendered to pixels in a low resolution. Put the explanation text on the side ad it overlaps my image so parts of it become blocked. It all does not work intuitively for me.
    That insect body plan interactive image in the E.O. Wilson book, how was that done? Is that advanced HTML5 hacking?
    And is everything rendered to pixels? Or are scalable vector images a possibility?

    It can be done by creating buttons and using Show/Hide Fields. Do a Google search on "InDesign show hide fields tutorial".

  • Cant save a text style in elements 10

    Can someone please explain to me how to save a text style that I created so that I can reuse it later.  It took me forever to figure out how to make one and now that I finally got it like I want it, I cant make it show up in the styles menu.  I would really hate to loose all that hard work.  I've tried everything and cant figure it out... Please help..
    Thanks in advance

    What do you mean by a "text style"?
    You can get a layer style from any image by opening the image, selecting the layer with the style on it and choosing Layer>Copy Styles, and then you can paste the style into another image using the same menu.

  • Blurry Photos in Photo gallery and Interactive image widget--(iBooks Author)

    The pictures that I put in my photogallery and in my interactive image widget were at first clear and would get bigger when I tapped on them (in preview mode on my iPad), and then all of the sudden, they all are blurry, and now when I tap on them, they don't get bigger/zoom! How do I fix this??

    The iBook is about 80 pages, and there is an average of one widget per page, sometimes 2. There are a few galleries in which there are more than one picture, but many of them are simply with one picture (because this is the only way to make it get bigger when you tap on it when on the iPad). For the Interactive Image widgets, I took a screenshot of a google maps route, and then focused on different stops to show directions on my iBook. I just redid all of the photo galleries that were blurry, and they are fixed now (no longer blurry). BUT the interactive images are still blurry....maybe I just need to go back and redo them?
