Is it possible to make a very large disc image?

This question is in relation to the first I asked. But my goal here is to use approximately 75% of my 2TB TC as external storage, and have the remaining 25% be for the continuous backups. What is the best way to go about doing this?
Is there a way to make a disc image that is larger than 500MB? That's a really insignificant amount of space, and it would be ridiculous to make 1.5 TB worth of those.
So if that wouldn't work, is there a way to limit the backups so that they start deleting the oldest ones when it's used up 25% of the total memory? Then I could just use the rest of the space how I wanted.
Sorry, I have lots of questions here. My last one, is there a way to set the backups to happen say every week, rather than every hour?

A partition can be thought of as a division or "part" of a real hard disk drive. When you partition a hard drive, you make it available to an operating system. Multiple partitions on a single hard drive appear as separate drives to the operating system.
Disk images are a way of packaging several files together for convenience, so that they can be downloaded and copied as a single file. A disk image file can be identified by its ".dmg" extension. These files are called "disk image" files because when they are opened to access their contents, your Mac treats a disk image as if an actual physical disk had been inserted.

    Is it possible to make a reflection of an image that will change with the image?

    I believe that a Smart Object will solve your problem.
    place your original image in a new file as a smart object and do the same for the reflection (made by Transforming, reducing the opacity and introducing a mild horizontal motion blur) on its own layer, then:
    by double clicking on the smart object in the layers panel and returning to the original image, any change you make in the original and save, will automatically update the upright image and its reflection.
    Nice one Norm.  Five Kudos points to you.

  • How to save FrameworkElement as very large raster image?

    I have to save my FrameworkElement as
    very large raster image. For now I use the RenderTargetBitmapclass
    and a BitmapEncoder,
    in this way:
    RenderTargetBitmap bmp = new RenderTargetBitmap(ElementWidth, ElementHeight,
         90, 96, PixelFormats.Default);
    bmp.Render(MyElement);  // OutOfMemoryException here
    PngBitmapEncoder encoder = new PngBitmapEncoder();
    encoder.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(bmp));
    using (var stream = File.Create(filePath))
    { encoder.Save(stream); }
    Where ElementWidth and ElementHeight are large numbers (about 10000x6000). But with this solution there's a OutOfMemoryException when i try to Render my
    element.
    There are other ways to do what I need (without causing an OutOfMemoryException)? Thanks.

  • Is it possible to make the background of an image transparent in indesign?

    is it possible to make the background of an image transparent in indesign?

    It's not necessarily the best way, but depending on the image content, you might be able to get an acceptable result with the options under Object > Clipping Path...
    EDIT: So technically, the answer to your question is: No, but you can apply a clipping path to hide the background.
    Also, again depending on the image content, as well as the underlying content, it might be possible to use blend modes in the Effects panel to render the background transparent.
    Background removal is best done in Photoshop, where the image can then be saved as .PSD and its native transparency will be honored when placed in InDesign.

  • Save as makes pdf very large

    Hello,
    I have a user that I just upgraded Acrobat 8 to Acrobat 9 on Windows 7 Pro.
    When she scans a document it comes to her email at a small size, IE: 1MB, however when she openes it and does a "Save As" the same file goes to 10+ MB.
    Is this a virus or perhaps a setting in Acrobat?
    Thanks for your help

    I made it work. I don't know why I have to go through these steps on one machine but not the other but I got the results I need now so it's OK. Thanks for responding.

  • Very large DVD image/folder ( dvd9 in size)

    I'm having problems making an bluray folder or image that is readable by anything!, (using encore).
    So In encore i changed the project format to DVD and set the disc size to custom = 20G !
    My mediaplayer (popcorn hour) did play it OK, incl first-play, menus and subtitles, but i wonder if anyone else have experience with generating DVD image or folder which are large than dvd9 ?
    (obviously you can not burn it, but who does that nowadays anyway)
    /per

    ..to answer my own question: the 20G 'DVD' played very well...
    now I wonder if the player wil accept H264 encoding instead of MPEG2
    ..if so, i guess the only difference to bluray would be the lack of popup menus ?

  • Is it possible to make a transparent Colour for images?

    I am trying to make a computer game with graphics, but I need to know how I can change the settings so that white is the transparent Colour. ie: where there is white in a picture, the picture behind that part of the picture with the white shows instead.
    Thanks for your time,
    Rufus

    Java works well with transparent gifs. That is how virtually all toobar button icons work that folks use.
    Just make sure you save the files with transparency in your graphics program (I prefer paint shop pro)
    JPEG format does not support transparency

  • Using swf file for very large static image

    i have a large photo that i need to use as a banner image in a website.  i have tried optimizing it for the web in fireworks -- to reduce the file size obviously -- but the client isn't happy with the resolution.  i haven't had this issue come up before but i see his point (to a degree), as the detail and sharpness of the original is far superior.
    i have almost no familiarity with creating with flash, but i remember reading somewhere that swf files do not have the same sizes as jpeg images.
    would it be feasible to include the single static image as a swf file to preserve its original resolution?  i mean, would that image as a swf file be smaller than the image as a jpeg?
    mille grazie.

    There are two things at play here... image quality (often harmed by compression) and image resolution (# of pixels width by height). What is the real problem?
    Whether you render your image as a GIF, JPG, PNG or SWF file, they will all have the same resolution.
    Packing an image in SWF should be a last resort as not everyone has Flash installed. For example, iPhone users cannot see SWF.

  • Applying Oil Paint Filter to Large Scale Images

    I need to apply the effects available from the Oil Paint filter to very large, 80mb images. The filter works exactly as I need it to on small images, but not at large scale. A comment I have heard in a Lynda.com video on the Oil Paint filter mentioned that the filter does not work well on large images. However, I REALLY need this, even if I need to pay someone to write a program that can do it! Does anyone know if / how I can get the filter to work for large images and / or if there is a third-party plug-in that will provide the same results? Having this filter work on large scale images could make or break a business idea I have so finding a solution is extremely important to me.

    What's the problem you're having with applying it to an 80 MB image?  Is it that the effects don't scale up enough?
    Technically it can run on large images if you have the computer resources...  I've just successfully applied it to an 80 MB image, and with the sliders turned all the way up it looks pretty oil painty, though it kind of drops back into a realistic looking photo when zoomed out...
    If it's just that the sliders can't go high enough, given that it's a very abstract look you're trying to achieve, have you considered applying it at a downsized resolution, then upsampling, then maybe applying it again?  This is done that way...
    Oh, and by the way, Oil Paint has been removed from Photoshop CC 2014, so if you're planning a business based on automatically turning people's large photos into oil paintings you should assume you'll be stuck with running the older Photoshop version.

  • Is it possible to make OSX see the internal and external HDD's as one large drive?

    Is it possible to make OSX see the internal and external HDD's as one large drive? For instance, hypothetically, could I have a Mac Mini Server with 2TB of internal storage and 2 external 4TB Thunderbolt HDD's, and make the OS see them all as one large 10TB drive?

    Yes it is possible to do this, but this is not recommended since a disconnection of the external drives would lead to a destabilized system. Its best to do this only with internal drives, or secondarily with only external drives that are set up separately from the boot drive.
    However, if you do wish to do this then you can combine any local set of volumes into one large "spanned" hard drive using Apple's CoreStorage volume management service. It does take a few steps to set up and requires use of the Terminal and Disk Utility. Here is a tutorial on how to do this: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57550128-263/how-to-make-a-custom-corestora ge-drive-in-os-x/

  • HT5548 Is it possible to change the size of the icons shown in Launchpad? Mine seem very large.

    Is it possible to change the size of the icons in Launchpad? Mine seem very large.

    Thanks for the reply UKoC. You are close on the size. I would say they are about an inch to an inch and a half in width and only seven across the row. They just seem quite large on my display and I figured there would be an easy way. I kept thinking I just had to be missing the way for adjusting them since everything else seems to be so easy to personalize. Funny thing is that I have watched an online tutorial twice now on Apple's web site showing Launchpad and the icons shown there are smaller and more of them. I just thought I was missing the fix somehow. Thanks for confirming this.
