Is there a way to drop an image into indesign and then have that file name captioned underneath?

Hello! I'm looking to help a colleague into streamlining a process. We have to display images full page in an Indesign Document and every time we drop and image onto a page, we then need to edit the caption underneath with the file name. Just wondering if there is a way to automate this process? Any scripts available?

When you place an image you can turn on the capture function. There are normal and live versions. The normal labeling creates a text as text is, the live version creates a variable which would change if the image or the text in the meta information changes, but it behaves like a single character which causes problems how the text will run in the text frame.
What is drawn out of the Meta must be set up before in the caption set up option.
When you drag and drop an image from the finder or from Bridge you can't activate this option.
BTW I use it a different way which seems to me faster. I assign a shortcut to the labeling command and when I have imported the image, I click this shortcut and in a second step I apply an Object style which will format the text frame including Paragraph style which might be different on a dark or bright photo or upon a graphic.
Normally I edit all meta information in Adobe Bridge, which is the fastest way to handle it.

  • How do I select and email a whole lot of photos on my iPad from my iPad emails? It seems I have to go into Email and then insert one photo at a time? Isn't there a way to select all in the photos and then email the batch.?

    How do I select and email a whole lot of photos on my iPad from my iPad emails? It seems I have to go into Email and then insert one photo at a time? Isn't there a way to select all in the photos and then email the batch.?

    Actually, you can email up to 5 at a time from the Photos app. Select any more and the email share option will not appear.
    If you explain why you need to email large numbers of photos, we might be able to offer an alternative.

  • Is there a way to flatten an image in Indesign?

    Like you do in photoshop?

    Thanks but my question was poorly put.
    Here's the story.  I have 82 pictures with captions.
    A vendor (bookbaby) is preparing an epub from my pdf file exported from indesign.
    Trouble is, their process doesn't keep captions and photos together.
    I've now outlined the text in the caption so it's no longer editable as text -- and the numbers overlaid on the collage attached (in indesign), and I've surrounded the. picture with an outline, but the captions, outline, and photo are still all separate.
    If I export the indesign photo page as a pdf, open it in photoshop, and flatten it in photoshop and bring it back into indesign, it's all one picture
    I have 82 photos with captions.  Surely there's an easier way?

  • Is there a way to insert comments directly into an Illustrator document so that every time you expor

    I use Illustrator a lot to create website designs, and pepper the PDFs with comments on how everything should work. Is there a way to have those comments embedded into the AI so that I don't have to enter in the comments every time I export a PDF?

    Template are the pre-designed document in which you do the modification as per the need.

    So , you can create a template with the comment on it.
    when creating the new file , base it upon the template so that you have the comment already present in the Ai.

  • Is there any way to paste formatted text into muse, and have it stay formatted?

    Greetings,
    I have a client who sends material to me with intricate formatting (italics and bold only) for posting on the website. Is there any way to avoid losing that formatting when I paste it into Muse? If not, I have several hours of work to format everything all over again, every time he sends an update? Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Lori

    Hello Muse Community,
    Ok, so I have figured out how to do this. For those of us who have a large amount of formatted text to paste on a website, but don't want to have to take the time to format every individual word or line, the solution is to embed the following html code:
    <iframe src="filename.html" width="600" height="300" scrolling="yes"></iframe>
    and replace "filename.html" with a the name of a plain html document created from some other software where you can paste formatted text. Muse will pick up the html document as an included file in a window with a scrollbar. It's actually pretty slick.
    Best wishes,
    Lori

  • Is there a way for me to remove the video and just have the audio?

    I needed to record a conversation and I wasn't really thinking at the time and just used iMovie to record. I only need the audio. Is there a way to remove the video and have it made into just an audio file?

    Create a project using your conversation. Then Share it using Share/Export Using QuickTIme. Select an audio only format like AIFF, AAC, or MP3.

  • Is there a way to temporarily disconnect my wi-fi and then reconnect it

    Other than going old school, and unplugging it?
    Could you let us know what you are trying to do, it might help us answer better.

    The only way you would be able to get your information back after a clean install (or erase & install) would be if you backed up the information first to an external harddrive, and then you could use Migration Assistant to bring it back then.
    If you have no backups, then you most likely won't be able to get that information back.

  • Is there a way I can disable images for just one specific website that won't load properly?

    The website Epinions.com is not loading properly for me (since it went through an upgrade). Pages will begin to load and stop midway or only load a small amount. I'm getting frequent timeouts where pages entirely fail to load. I think one reason this is happening may be because the site is much more image heavy than it used to be. I would like to disable images on just that one site rather disabling all images in general. Is that possible? If so, how do I do it?

    Try to update to Firefox 8 to see if that helps.

  • How to import an image into indesign?

    how do i import an image from google images into indesign and then use as a background like a watermark?

    Save it out of Google Images to your hard drive. It'll probably be a JPEG file. Choose File > Place to place the image. To use it as a watermark, it will have to be on a lower layer or lower in the stacking order than other objects on the page.
    It sounds like you could use some help learning InDesign. I highly recommend Sandee Cohen's Visual QuickStart Guide, which is available for every version of InDesign. It's inexpensive and will save a lot of time learning the program:

  • Is there ANY way to "drop" several videos or pictures at once (like an entire folder) instead of pai

    Is there ANY way to "drop" several videos or pictures at once (like an entire folder) instead of painstakingly dropping/dragging one image at a time? I just opened my Adope Premiere Elements 9 and after "working with" for 9 hours, I can't figure it out! Is there a singular CLEAR guide or video out there that teaches newbies like me how to do BASICS like this? Extremely exasperated. On verge of returning to my Windows Live Movie Maker but you all likely know how frustrating THAT is.... Please help me.

    lifelearner
    How long have you been working with Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 and on what computer operating system?
    Take a look at the Premiere Elements 9 Help PDF for starter before you invest in books and such.
    http://help.adobe.com/archive/en_US/premiereelements/9/premiereelements_9_help.pdf
    On to the immediate issue....
    When you "Get Media" Files and Folders, be aware that you can import folders with the format supported photos/videos inside.
    Then go immediately to Organize header/ and Project in row below and click on Project.
    You should see your folder there.
    a. You can drag it to the Timeline and have your photos/videos open on the Timeline
    b. You can manage folder opening and closing with the icons at the bottom left of the Project area where you see
    your imported files.
    If you are at the point where you already have your Project area loaded with lots of individual imports, you can create folders
    there and drag your photos/videos into different folders. But, we aware that you can drag folder or individual files
    from Project onto the Timeline.
    Does any of the above help? If so, I will know I am going in the right direction for what you want to know.
    What is with the painstakingly dropping/dragging one image at a time? Just how many images are in this project?
    We are glad for the opportunity to help.
    Looking forward to your follow up.
    Thanks.

  • Is there a way to export an image from Aperature into Adobe Raw before Photoshop?

    Is there any way to export an image out of Aperature into Adobe Camera Raw before using Photoshop?

    If you want to send a TIFF file via the 'Edit with External Editor' command after selecting Photoshop as your external editor, you can try the following:
    1 - Open Camera Raw preferences (either via Bridge or ACR).
    2 - Find the 'JPEG and TIFF Handling' section
    3 - Use the 'TIFF:' drop-down menu to select 'Automatically open all supported TIFFs' option
    4 - Click OK and restart Bridge or ACR
    This should automatically launch ACR when Aperture sends a TIFF to PS.
    Note - you would then need to use the 'Open Image' command from ACR to render to Photoshop and use the 'Save' command to go back to Aperture and see the changes. This is only for a TIFF file format though.

  • Is there a way of aligning the images in iweb photoalbums other than have them be a square?I have them at same height and resolution but htere is a default that shrinks them and aligns them at the bottom.Thanks.

    Is there a way of aligning the images in iweb photoalbums other than have them be a square?I have them at same height and resolution but htere is a default that shrinks them and aligns them at the bottom.Thanks.

    So how did you do it?
    by understand what iweb widgets do, in this case setting gridEntry widget's scalMode preference from fill to fit.
    then reset the displayed image, so it fits in the display area even if it's portrait aspect.
    however, i found some glitches in gridEntry widget that's quite strange... but all fix-able.
    perhaps, iweb experts (whose had poked at my example) here can chime in.
