Is it possible to swap images in Indesign CS6?

If I had a page with several photos in different frames. Is it possible to select two different frames and swap the images around?
Also, does anyone know how to make sure all the frames in the page are identical in height and width and stroke?
Thanks in advance,

That is very useful for when I initially layout out a page with a layout in mind. Most of the time though, I drag all the photos onto a spread and then start aligning them, the gaps are rough but then I adjust them all manually until each gap horizontally or vertically are the same. It'd be nice if there was a script so that all the images on the page were a certain gap horizontally and vertically to each other whilst maintaining their alignment. Does that make sense?
An alternative would be if I could set up a Grid of image frames and merge some of them, preserving the gap measurements.
Thanks Peter,

Invert image in InDesign CS6

How can I invert (make a negative image) a Tiff (or JPG) image within Indesign CS6?
This can be done in Photoshop, but I don't want to keep swapping applications or have to make and save a new (negative) image in Photoshop and then import into Indesign.
This was so easy in Quark years ago!
Thanks!

Set the fill color of the rectangle holding your image to Black, and the fill color of the image itself (select with the white arrow) to Paper.
This will only work on grayscale and black-and-white images; then again, those are the only logical candidates to make negative.
In case "it is not working": there is a difference between a full color image containing only gray pixels and a real grayscale image. The former cannot be changed in ID, the latter can.

High quality images in indesign CS6 get pixelated

I have been using indesign CS6 for a while now. Recently, when I place some images into a document, they are pixelated. They are high quality images with a high resolution. Even when I shrink it down considerably to fit in the document, it still gets pixelated. I have "view High Quality" checked & the image prints pixelated as well. When I preview the image, it looks fine. Any ideas?

Can you post a screen shot of the image placed on ID to have an idea of what you're looking at? If possible can you share a sample image via dropbox?

Images in InDesign CS6 tables

In InDesign CS6 is there a way to define tables cells to images instead of text (like you can in QXP). My aim is to import images into cell, but I want them to fill the full cell size.

Sorry - InDesign doesn't offer that function - you'd have to set that up manually.
Give your cell 0 padding all around.
Get the measurement for your cell
Create a graphic frame that size.
And cut and paste it into the cell.

Trouble with re-sizing images/textboxes InDesign CS6

Has anyone had any problems re-sizing images or text boxes in InDesign CS6?
I have been doing it for months by selecting the corners and dragging them in or out but suddenly it's stopped working. The arrow no longer changes to a double arrow when I hover over the corner and all I can see is an hourglass when I hover over any type of frame.
I can resize images only be changing their percentage in the transform objects -> scale options.
I tried re-setting my preferences and it didn't help.
Please advise me if there is something else I can do.

Tried that and it didn't help.
The only thing I can think of is that there is something wrong or slow with my remote desktop connection which is affecting functionality. No one else seems to have had this problem.
Thanks for your effort though.

Is it possible to swap images into an AP div from a list of images, not only one?

I've figured out how to change images in an AP div on a Mouseover using Set Text of Container, but it would be great if the swapped in file would change over time, or was randomized. Is there a way to do this?
Or, is there a way to have images load in the AP div every few seconds? Thanks.

Not possible with DW behaviors alone. What you want is a slideshow.

How can I get text to appear over my placed or pasted images in InDesign CS6?

I am new to InDesign and am having a few issues. I have a basic template for a site that I have built in Illustrator. I have placed the design into an InDesign document (I have tried both copy/paste and the Place feature). When I try to use InDesign to overlay text on top of the image, it shows up fine whenever I export to an image file. However, when I export to HTML, the text gets pushed directly underneath the image in web browser (it's visible, but shows on white space below my desired template). Is there any way to fix this? I have already tried enabling "Ignore Text Wrap" on the text frame and the text itself is set to the front of the document. Thanks!

InDesign is not a web authoring tool. If you’re expecting text to simply overlay a graphic in export HTML from InDesign you’re going to be highly disappointed.
I’ll make the assumption you know nothing about web authoring tools and HTML/CSS. I suggest you look into Muse.

Export table as image in InDesign CS6

I want to export a table as an image to use in an epub. When I open the Export dialog box, the Selection button is grayed out and I can't export just the table. Anyone have any suggestions why the Selection button isn't available?

Solved! You have to use the selection tool to select the text frame. Then you can export the selection.

Have a MacBook Pro running Lion and an IMac running Snow Leopard. Want to Back up both images and restore on opposite machine. Essentially swapping images between hard drives. Is this possible and any "gotcha's" to look for? Thanks

Have a MacBook Pro running Lion (10.7.9) and an IMac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8). Want to Back up both images and restore on opposite machines. Essentially swapping images between hard drives. Is this possible and any "gotcha's" to look for? Thanks

If the MBP came with Lion, it most likely won't boot with SL. Easiest thing to do is create a bootable backup/clone of each to an ext HD, partitioned to hold each on a separate volume, ensure that the original machines can boot with their respective clones, and finally, try booting the other machine with the other clone. Images are useless since you can't boot with them to test them out.

Swap Image Behavior with Text

I am trying to figure something out but can't seem to find
it. I'm sure it must be pretty simple, but I'm stumped. Basically,
I have a main image and a few thumbnail images below it. I've
attached the Swap Image behavior to each thumb to change the main
image to a different photo and then changed the onMouseOver to
onClick.
The problem is I want to also have some photo text or caption
below the main image to change. Does anyone know how to do this
with more or less stock DW behaviors? Or if not, how to do it in
the most efficient way possible?
Thanks in advance.

You could always embed the caption information in the image,
you know? That
would be the simplest way. Is that possible?
Alternatively you could create a series of stacked
containers, each hidden,
in the location where you want your captions. Then you would
make your
onclick event do both the image swap and the Show/Hide on the
associated
caption container (*and* a hide on all the rest of the
caption containers).
This can be pretty tedious when there are lots of images, and
you are using
only the DW User interface (as opposed to Code view). It will
also take you
into the realm of positioned elements (probably) which can be
troublesome
themselves.
Finally, if this is all too much for you, there are EXCELLENT
alternatives
over at projectseven ($) for doing something like this right
out of the box.

Swap images while rolling over popup menu

Hello,
I've been playing with fireworks CS5 for some days now and made a first attempt on a website.
So far, i've made a navigation bar with two states in order to be able to add a simple roll over behavior, e.g. darkening text on rollover. I also have been able to make a dropdown menu (popup) via slices.
Then I decided to swap images when on nav bar headings. So far, so good.
When I did a preview in my browser, it appeared that as soon as I was leaving the nav bar, the image swapped back to the old setting. Perfect.
But when I did a mouse over on one of the dropdown menu's of the navigation bar, the image swapped back as well.. I've been trying, but didnt manage to find out how to fix this.
So, is there anyone here that knows if it is possible, and if so, how to keep images swapped to a second stage as long as the mouse is on the dropdown menu, but swaps back to the original state when leaving the dropdown and/or the navigation bar.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Bryan,
It may be possible to cheat and put this onto the button:
the option that you want is called TITLE.
if you set one of the other parameters (e.g. the label)
to be:
LABEL_TEXT" TITLE="TITLE_TEXT
basically when it adds the text onto the form it will wrap it in "
If it doesn't strip out the " from your text you should get your extra parameter.
it may slip past the portal checking.
I can't test it as I only have WebDB, but I have done something similar with javascript in WebDB.
good luck
Michael

Swapping images/text question?

Hi, I am moving this question to this forum from general as I got a response suggesting that dynamic html could be the solution to my problem. Any guidance on how to set up the behaviour would be much appreciated.
The problem I have is that I have created a navigation menu using plain text that changes colour on hover and two images in different divs swap images. It all works fine using a standard behaviour but now the client has asked if I can also make the opposite work ie. when the user rolls over the image, then the text changes colour. Is this possible without creating the text elements as images and swapping them using a standard behaviour?
I am not very familiar with the capabilities of javascript so some guidance would be great.
The present draft site is here, so you can see the problem.
Many thanks
Richard

Hi Richard,
I suggest you to use javascript. I will try to give you a basic examle for this problem with a short explanation. Let's say you have the following html code
Here comes the default text of the elementThe image has the id of firstimage and the div#first will be the object where the text will swapped at onmouseover event.
The code above will catch the rollower event of the #firstimaged object and will make the ChangeTextofDivIdfirst javascript function run. With the used innerHTML property you may specify any html code instead of the 'the swapping text' .
Regards
Zoli

Swap image from down state

How do I return the down state of an image to the up state
onClick? I tried Swap Image Restore, that doesn't work. I want a
button that contains two states, an up and a down state. When you
click on the image in the up state, it goes to the down state. When
you click on the image in the down state, it goes to the up state.
Any help ideas, help, advice, or simple hellos would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks!

Rob,
I've done some research on this and from what I have
gathered, it isn't possible to do in the method we've been trying
to do. I have found a way to accomplish my goal though. I haven't
written the script yet, but it's a pretty simple idea, definitely
beginner level javascript.
For the onClick in the img tag, you have it refer to a js
function that adds 1 the value of a variable. So if you click the
button once the value of your variable would change from 0 to 1.
When this button is clicked again, the value would change to 2. But
you then include a line that say something to the effect of if x
> 1, x = 0. Basically on each click of the button, the value
would change to either 0 or 1. Now judging off that value is where
you define the source for the image.
Like I said, I haven't written the script yet, I have more
important things to tend to on the project I'm working on right
now, but when I do write it, I'll try to remember to post it
here.

Help using swap images to swap 2 separate images

I am trying to use swap images to swap two separate images on
the same page but I can't get it to work. Here is the code for one
image, rotator. I also have a second image,rotatorB that I want to
swap different images with. I think I need two separate codes but
do not know how to do it.
Thank You

Sorry, I don't know enough about how fireworks functions - but overall, I think it's always best to create the slices in a program like fireworks, (or image ready, etc), and then build the actual page in Dreamweaver (or other web software). It's kind of like how Photoshop used to let you create the slices, then export the entire photoshop file as an html page - it would create a very basic page with multiple nested tables that were nothing but trouble...
For what it's worth - Dreamweaver makes it fairly easy to do - once you're familiar it should only take a few minutes to accomplish (once you have all of the pieces saved to the images folder).
Fireworks isn't a web-creation software - it's function is to optimize images for the web, and slice up graphics (from what I know about it, anyway...)
**Also, on a side note - there are many disadvantages to creating buttons with graphics - number one reason is down the road when a client wants to add or modify the buttons, they will need the original photoshop file - and the fonts loaded in order to accomplish... then need to save out both the on and off state for each. I've been there, and they find it very annoying (known to lose customers because of it). Secondly, search engines and Handicap accessible software can't read graphics - even if you apply "alt tags", it's not as good as having a text link. If possible, it's best to use text for the links (and creating the rollover effects with stylesheets - there are tons of examples: http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=css+rollover&form=MS8TDF&pc=MS8TDF&src=IE-SearchBox
Hope that helps

DreamWeaver Swap Image question

Hello!
I have created a simple swapImage page which is functioning properly (4 images).
My question is: Is it possible to make each image have it's own link?
Basically I wanted to create 4 images that act as a teaser to 4 indivdual stories and if someone
sees a story that they like they can click on it and it brings them to a page within my site for more info.
THANKS!

It is possible, but not using DW's Swap Image behavior.
To do this you'd have to use either -
Show/hide element
SetText of element
Custom javascript
The second option may be the best one. What is your skill level with HTML?
