Is there a Preserve Image Dimension when Relinking Setting in Framemaker 9?

Hi,
I am using Framemaker 9 (structured Frame) and would like to know if there is a setting (similar to InDesign) that preserves image dimensions when relinking. In InDesign, you can turn this setting off so that the updated linked graphic will not scale or move in the document. Does Framemaker have a similar setting? We use Illustrator CS3 to create graphics. These graphics are then saved to Adobe Acrobat X Pro PDF files. I Import by Reference the PDF file using the Grahic element in Structured Framemaker. If I make any changes to the graphic file in Illustrator, the graphic that was imported into the Framemaker document shifts inside the anchored frame and then I have to recenter all the updated graphics in Framemaker. Is there a setting in Framemaker that will allow me to update a graphic file in Illustrator without having to recenter it in Framemaker?
I currently have the following File Handling & Clipboard options selected in Illustrator:
Copy AS:
-PDF
-AICB (no transparency suuport)
-Preserve Appearance and OverPrints
But, these settings do not seem to help much for the imported graphic files in Framemaker.
I appreciate any information you can provide.
Thank you for your help.

*** haven't checked, because I don't have any pre-9.0 files easily available *** ... but from what I remember, if you're really just viewing the files in 9.0 you should need to save them explicitly back to an earlier version. FM may mark the files as "changed" when it opens them, but that's because it checks things like datestamps and cross-references. If you do not, yourself, explicitly change any content in the file you have opened, you don't need to save the changes; just close the file unsaved. Check my supposition with a couple of files before relying on it! And other people will be able to give you a more detailed explanation of why file you haven't touched yourself still show up as "changed".

Choose Preserve Image Dimensions When Relinking

Is there a way to change the preference "Choose Preserve Image Dimensions When Relinking" from scripting? This setting is accessible in the user interface ( in the Edit menu / Preferences / File Handling tab ).
Andreas

I am not sure but try:
app.imagePreferences.preserveBounds = true;
// If true, preserve image bounds when relinking.

Preserve image dimensions

Hi I am about to do my ACE exam for ID
So i have been studying away - and am not happy with the 'preseve image dimension' option
Here is a practice question from the adobe site (with supplied answer)
4.1 Given a scenario, determine the best settings for choosing and placing an image
You want to replace an image from a selected frame. The new image is larger than the original
image. You want the new image to be imported at the same scaling percentage as the original.
What should you do?
A. hold down Shift as you click the Relink button in the Links panel
B. hold down Option/Alt as you click the Update button in the Links panel
C. before replacing the image, deselect Preserve Image Dimensions When Relinking in the
File Handling pane of the Preferences dialog box
D. before replacing the image, select Preserve Image Dimensions When Relinking in the File
Handling pane of the Preferences dialog box
Correct answer: C
BUT it says this in the help file
Choose how relinked graphics are scaled
When you relink to replace one graphic with a different source file, you can keep the image dimensions of the file that’s being replaced, or you can display the incoming file in its actual dimensions.
Choose Edit > Preferences > File Handling (Windows) or InDesign > Preferences > File Handling (Mac OS).
Choose Preserve Image Dimensions When Relinking if you want images to appear at the same size as the images they’re replacing. Deselect this option to have relinked images appear at their actual size
Is this a contradiction or am i being thick
Thanks

Sorry Peter
I think I must have hit it by mistake
But just experimented with it on 6.04
I have image 210x297
I replace this with preserve image dimensions ON -new image is 210x1776
I replace this with preserve image dimensions OFF -new image is 25.013x211.552 --- which is the same size as if imported into a new frame
Doesnt this make the help file correct and the adobe practice exam wrong ?
I assume the original to be the image that is being replaced

Does anyone know how to save / preserve image maps when updating graphics?

Hello all,
I'm currently working on a RH7 HTML project, which I've designed to be used in support of a software application.
Some of the application's dialogue boxes have quite complex multi-tabbed GUIs, so when it comes to describing their functionality, you often end up with a long list below the graphic image. What this means of course, is that the user is forever scrolling up and down to make reference between the GUI and the explanatory text.
I hit upon an idea I'd used previously, whereby I created popups to multiple image map hotspots. It works like a dream and the client and users really like the concept - but there's a snag (apparently).
Because the application is still in development. some of those GUIs are (and will continue to) change. No problem with that either - until I try and insert the updated graphic. Poof !! All my hotspots disappear . . .
Surely I'm not alone in trying this approach and there must be some way of preserving the hotspots?
Any suggestions?
Bob (in a UK time zone)

Hi there
It sounds like you are using the standard methods of inserting an image. Don't do that!
All you need to do in these cases is to use Windows Explorer to save the updated image using the same file name and replacing the former image. When you do this your other data will remain intact. If the new image is a different size, just right-click it inside the RoboHelp HTML editor and choose Reset Size. You also may need to tweak your hotspots if things shifted some.
Cheers... Rick

How do l preserve image quality when reducing the size of my brochure for use as a pdf?

l've designed a brochure full of my work, and reduced the size so l can email the final pdf...but my test recipients are saying the images are not sharp...they are too soft.
Can anyone help me preserve image sharpness?

Don't use the resize feature as the images will be changed to 72 dpi. Resize the images BEFORE adding them to Pages. Make them about 200 dpi if they are to be printed. You can have less resolution if the pdf is only for the screen.

How do you keep the colors of an image true when you set it as a background?

I have an image with lines in it and a black blackground. When I set it as a background :
html {
    background: url(../Images/backgroundimage.jpg);
    background-repeat:auto;
    background-position:center top;
the black is a couple shades lighter so when I place a <div> with an <img>that is also mainly black on top of it, the top image is much darker than the background. I have no other css tags on the div other than a margin. The only difference in the images is I saved the background from photoshop and the image in the div from illustrator but I dont think that should have effected anything. Does anybody know anything about this because I am seriously stumped.
Thanks

We have been here before…
Firstly, Adobe' Photoshop has the ability to save a color profile with an image. That color profile will be consistent across all versions of Adobe software. Problem is, Adobe does not make web browsers (and that is probably a good thing).
When you save images for websites, you need to go through the proper Photoshop or Illustrator dialog. You want to Save for Web & Other Devices. Why? because the applications will take the image out of CMYK color space (if it is in that color space) and make it RGB. They will also try to translate the colors in a sensible way. When you use this dialog, you will see various options for JPG, including ICC Profile. Turning this on or off will change how the colors get mapped, and some experimentation to get best results is a good idea.
I have it turned off, presently.
The image will be set up for 72 dots per inch automatically, and you can, then, resize the image to optimize it for the website you are working on. If you are trying to fill a hole for an image that is 350 pixels wide by 250 tall, don't save the image as 1125 wide by 1024 high. That will take a long time to download from your server to whatever device is displaying it. Your original image will not be changed and you can navigate your path to your defined website's images folder.
This should help you immeasurably. I should mention that If I am trying to match a background exactly, I will tend to knock out that color from the image, save the image as a .PNG file with transparency (where that particular color is) and place the image on the background in question with the background color I am trying to match on the website.

Reducing an image dimensions when printing?

The image I created is much larger than the final size needs to be. Nominally letter to Bisiness card. How can I reduce the dimensions of the image so it prints at the correct size?

Normally, one would create at final size.
What tool did you use to create the file? - that would be the first choice for editting.

Images rotate and resize when relinking after collect for output

I just started using CS5 and have run into an issue that is very disturbing to me. When I relink my files from the collected folder that I send to printer, images that have been rotated in Indesign rotate to their actual size and rotation. This is not a good thing! We should not have to rotate all of our images outside of indesign.. Please Help!!!

OK, we were cross posting, and I've now looked at your file.
One key piece of information you didn't tell us before is that the file was created in CS3 and converted. There are a lot of reports of strange behavior with legacy files. This one seems to be somewhat corrupt at this point. I don't know how much of that was introduced form the conversion, and how much from the previous recycling.
The best approach when converting a CS3 file is often to export as .inx from CS3 and open that in CS5. The other thing that helps is to open the old file iin CS5, then immediately export to .idml, then open that and save as a new .indd and work with that. Since I don't have the original CS3 version I don't know how that behaved or if .inx will help, but exporting this one to .idml seems to clear up problems with all the photos except the one at the top of page 4 which rotates 180 degrees when relinked.
For best results you should probably rebuild this file from scratch in CS5, then save as a template. Starting each new editon from a template is more reliable than resaving an old issue and removing unwanted content. Although ID is more stable than most programs when you do this, creeping corruption is always a problem with long-term resaving of the same document and you often don't see it until you are hard up on deadline and your file goes south.

My IT department transferred images from my Blackberry to my Iphone, they are in "Photo library". there is 1500 images, many are duplicates and when I hit edit, delete is not an option. how do i delete the duplicate images?

my IT department set up my Iphone and transferred the images from my Blackberry. I have over 1500 images showing in "Photo Library" and lots of them are duplicates (same image). When I hit edit it will not allow me to delete them, delete is not an option shown. How do I get rid of the duplicates?
In Photo library, when I hit edit the only avail options are share or add to. Please help, i dont want 1500 images on the phone.

Are they really duplicates or are you simply referring to the Photo Library?
Just as a song is in your itunes library and the exact same song can be accessed via a playlist, all synced photos are in the Photo Library and those exact same photos ( not duplicates) can be accessed from the chose folder/album.
You delete these pica the same way you put them there. The sync process. Deselect them in itunes and sync.

Lightroom 5.7.1, Yosemite OS X - Synchronise Folder function doesn't work in Lr.
Is there a compatibility issue? I can see the folders/images in Finder but when trying to synchronise folders in Lr it does not recognise that there are any images and therefore unable to import to catalogue. Anyone has any idea how to make it work. Thanks a lot.

Hi Elba,
Thank you very much for your reply. Not sure, however, that we are talking about the same problem.
I am trying to perform the same function in Lr that I have been doing for many years in the past and has only been a problem in the last few days (possibly coinciding with upgrading to Yosemite, trying to find out whether that is the problem)
I am not intending to sync any files with Creative Cloud but only trying to use 'Synchronize Folder' function in Lr. Normally, I would right click on a particular folder in Lr catalogue and click on that function to check that the Lr Catalogue is perfectly matching my drives where the original photos are actually stored.
The problem that I only started to encounter is that I can see the files on the actual drives but they do not appear in my Lr Catalogue and they are completely invisible to Lr. I simply can not get Lr to recognise them and then import them to catalogue.
If for example, I export images to Ps and then save and close them, they do appear on my drive but are invisible to Lr and I can't get them imported into the catalogue. Import to folder also not producing any results as they are still invisible to Lr.
Completely baffled by it. Any idea what could be the reason?
Kind regards,
Nik

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.

Is there any options/addons for selecting/changing image size when viewing images?

When clicking to open images when on web pages there is no option to select size.
I'm looking at some pages that have images (mostly jpg) I like to compare and that is very hard when all images open in a size that normally fill most of the browser window.
So I wonder if there is some hidden options or addons for selecting image size when opening images for viewing?
I have tried Image resizer/scaler, image zoom and show picture with mix results. Image resizer/scaler and image zoom allow resizing of images, but when opening images on same tab as web page the white image "frame" that is visible when reducing image size is left in original size. This make viewing and opening other pages a hazard.
I'm grateful for any help...cheers :-)

hehe no offense, but I'm not following the version rushing from Mozilla. I'm using many customizations and addons and it is a nightmare to change to a new version and practically impossible to use last version. Also the FIrefox history have shown that earlier versions have both been more stable and had better implementation of features.
Spending hours customizing and finding out that addons dont work with new version every time Firefox come with a new version , no thanks. For that to happen Firefox have to be more compatible across versions and more friendly toward customization in updates and new versions. I have used Firefox for at least 8-9 years with practically no security problems and one thing I have learned is: dont update or install next version if the version I have is working well.
Maybe I should have mentioned this in this question, that Im using v26 and that my FIrefox is heavily modified with addons and customizations.
'''Back to the subject'''
Anyway I dont think any of my customizations or addons should create a white frame behind images, but I'm asking to find out if you guys also get this white frame when resizing pictures to a smaller size after clicking images for viewing.

How do I export my video in 500x500 resolution? I know there's a feature in Final Cut Express that allows me to make custom dimensions when I export but I can't find the same in FCPX

How do I export my video in 500x500 resolution? I know there's a feature in Final Cut Express that allows me to make custom dimensions when I export but I can't find the same in FCPX.

Tom is right, BUT! ...the newest version of Compressor (41.) allows you to do just THAT! ...to export custom sizes.
It's easy. And... once you set it up, you can export DIRECTLY from FCPX, provided you've saved / added this scheme as a "destination" in the FCPX app.
