Is there a way to reduce the length of the Timeline?

In Captivate 6, one of my slides has an audio track that is a minute and thirty seconds long. No elements will go beyond a minute-thirty. But the timeline is twenty minutes and thirty-two seconds long. If I zoom in to fine-tune some layers the scroll bar slider at the bottom gets incredibly small. It's a lot of wasted space. I'm looking for something like After Effects' "Reduce comp to work area" function. Does it exist in Captivate?

If nothing extends beyond a minute thirty, you could shorten the overall timeline by changing the Time setting in the general section of the Properties Inspector for the slide:

picture size...in putting together a book I can move photos onto a page and enlarge the picture but is there a way to reduce the picture size? some cases I want a smaller picture and if I change the size of the picture box I only get a portion of the image. I want to reduce the image to fit the size of the box.

If you right click on the image on the page in the context menu select photo box alignment and then select one of scale to fit {centered, Left-aligned, Right-aligned}
That should do what you are loking for.

Is there a way to reduce the size of my PDF file, created (or I should say, Exported) in InDesign.

I created a 10-page sale flyer in InDesign CS5 which will be viewed on our website. When I export it as a PDF file, even with the compression at "minimum", the size is still 3.8 MB.
Is there a way to reduce the size of the PDF file? with InDesign or another tool out there?
Thanks for your help!

To expand a little on what Jongware said, normally choosing vector over bitmap will decrease the filesize. If the vector art is very complex though, this will not be true.
Yup, a logo as bitmap takes up more space than the same as a vector -- unless the vector image is bitmap heavy (think Drop Shadow, Outline Glow; these are actually bitmap effects).
Also, check your PDF version. "Older" versions do not support live transparency, the latest do. Then again, you cannot use live transparency if you suspect your viewers may be using Mac OS X, because Apple's own PDF viewer sucks big time.

Is there a way to reduce the size of a final PDF created for print when saving a file?

Is there a way to reduce the size of a final PDF created for print when saving in any software (especially illustrator)? I don't want any quality to decrease at the same time. Thanks!

Personally I would avoid optimizing the PDF's via Adobe Acrobat Pro unless you understand what you are removing from the PDF; having said that, it is the most effective way to reduce the file-size in the right hands.
If I am sending out layouts for commercial print I change my default Print / Export setting from Standard to PDF/A-1b:2005 (CMYK). This will resolve a lot of common print problems for print-ready documents and it should embed your fonts and flatten transparencies etc.
If your document is still too large you run an Audit Space Usage using Adobe Acrobat Pro. In the left pane enable 'Content' and then hit the button in the top left corner of the Content Pane and choose Audit Space Usage.

Is there a way to reduce the installation size of preview edition?

Is there a way to reduce the installation size of preview edition?

Hi IndianLamp,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Based on your issue, you mean that you want t reduce the installation size of the version of VS Preview, am I right?
If yes, I know that when we download the version of the VS Preview from the Microsoft Official, it is default that the install package size. However, you can try to unselect some components during the installation, it will reduce the installation size of
preview edition.
If I misunderstanding your issue, please tell me more detail message about your issue.

Once combine file, it is too large to email. Is there a way to reduce the size of the file?

Combined files and now it is too large to send. Is there a way to reduce the size of the converted file in Adobe?

Hi yodonna,
Adobe Reader doesn't allow you to reduce the size of a PDF file, as Acrobat does. But, you could upload that file to your Acrobat.com account, and create an anonymous link to it using Adobe Send. Then, you could send that link via email. You can access Adobe Send at https://cloud.acrobat.com/send. The Create an Anonymous Link feature doesn't require that you have an Adobe Send subscription.

Is there a way to reduce the sensitivity of the one finger click on the trackpad?

Is there a way ro reduce the sensitivity of the one-finger click on the tackpad?

nope.
it *****. i had to turn off "tap to click" if that ishat you are referring to. i couldn't write an email or any other document without the cursor inserting to wherever it felt like.
another solution for me would have been to place my trackpad above my keyboard, as it was the slightest of brushes against the trackpad that was causing this annoyance.

Is there a way to reduce the sensitivity of the touchpad?

Is there a way to reduce the sensitivity of the touchpad on the MacBook Pro?

More info on this touchpad issue:
It appears the cursor keeps switching to the text mode on its own while moving the cursor in pointer mode about the screen. It now is extremely difficult to click anything, as it nearly always switches to text/capture mode. E.g., if I move the pointer/cursor rapidly, it with change to text mode and begin highlighting everything it passes over, making it nearly impossible to use. Also, I have an extremly difficult time relating the cursor when editing text.
The problem has gotten so bad that I had to rever to the mouse, which doesn't seem to have the problem. Ergo, it's a touchpad, software or hardware issue.

Is there any way to reduce the JPEG compression ap...

I'm wondering if there is any way to reduce the fierce amount of JPEG compression applied to photos taken with the 6220 classic? I'm 99.99% sure that there isn't, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
I'm a professional graphic designer with 15 years experience, and as such understand the technicalities of digital imaging better than most.
What the general public fails to understand is that ever higher megapixelage doesn't automatically equate to ever higher quality images.
The 6220 classic has a 5MP camera, which is one of the reasons I bought it, along with the fact that it has a Xenon flash and a proper lens cover. Its imaging quality also generally gets very positive reviews online.
However, the 6220 classic takes far poorer photos than my 5 year old Olympus digital camera which only shoots 4MP. Why is this? Many reasons. The Olympus has a much larger imaging chip, onto which the image is recorded (physical size as opposed to pixel dimensions), a far superior lens (physical size & quality of materials), optical (not digital) zoom, and the ability to set various levels of JPEG compression, from fierce (high compression, small files, low quality images) to none at all (no compression, large files, high quality TIFF-encoded images).
When I first used the camera on the 6220 classic (I've never owned a camera phone before) I was appalled at the miniscule file sizes. A 2592 x 1944 pixel image squashed into a few hundred kilobytes makes a mockery of having decent pixel dimensions in the first place, but then the average consumer neither cares about nor would notice the difference. They're not going to be examining & working on their images in Photoshop on a 30" Apple Cinema Display.
Is fierce JPEG compression (and an inability to alter it) the norm with camera phones, or do other camera phones (perhaps from other manufacturers) allow greater latitude in how images are compressed?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Believe me, I was very aware that this was a phone with a camera attached, not a dedicated camera, before I bought it. I went into this with my eyes open. I knew the lens, imaging chip, zoom, etc, would all be grossly inferior, but given all of this, surely the phone manufacturers should help to compensate for this by adding a few lines of code to the software to reduce (or ideally remove) the JPEG compression, or at least give the user the option to do so if they want? The fierce compression just makes images obtained with compromised hardware even worse than they would have been otherwise.
It adds insult to injury and is totally unnecessary, especially given that the memory card in the 6200 classic is 1GB but the one in my Olympus is only 128 MB! It's not as if lack of storage space is an issue! On the Olympus I can only take about 8 pictures without compression (although I could obviously buy a much larger memory card). On the 6220 classic, given the ridiculous amount of compression, there's room for over 1200 photos! It would be far better to let 70 uncompressed images be stored than 1200 compressed ones. Does anyone seriously need to take over a thousand photos on a camera phone without having access to a computer to offload them? I doubt it.
Also, compressing the images requires processing power, which equals time. If they were saved uncompressed, the recovery time between shots would be reduced, although obviously writing the larger files to memory may offset this somewhat.
Just to give people an idea, an uncompressed 8-bit RGB TIFF with pixel dimensions of 2592 x 1944 takes up approximately 14.5 MB of space. (The exact number of bytes varies slightly depending on the header information stored with the file). The 3 photos I've taken so far with the 6220 classic (and that I've decided to actually keep) have files sizes of 623, 676 & 818 KB respectively. An average of these 3 sizes is 706 KB. 706 KB is less than 5% the size of 14.5 MB, which means that, on average, the camera, after is records the 5038848 pixels in an image, throws over 95% of them away.
I'm deeply unimpressed.

Is there a way to reduce the backup frequency to iCloud

I got a email from my ISP yesterday notifying me that I had used 14GB of my plan this month. As the new billing cycle only started this week i realised something was not right so i began to check my useage level for each day only tho find that it was consistantly high each day. I then began looking at the history and discovered that my useage spiked when i purchased my iPhone 4S. So i looked at the settings and discovered that my Storage allowance on iCloud was already nearly full and the next backup was going to be 5GB as it was backing up my iPhones Photos. Seeing as the phone seems to be backing up each night when i plug it in to charge, is there a setting to reduce the frequency that backups are performed so i can turn the full backup back on?

Is there a way of reducing the print borders in Numbers for ipad?

I've recently purchased Numbers for my Ipad 2 and now need to print off my spreadsheets. However when I go to preview the sheets there seems to be a massive print border around the data? I've looked all over the app for a way to reduce it but can't find anything. On searching the web for answers there only seems to be references to the Software version not the app...can the border be rediced in the app?
Thanks

Thanks Jason,
Thought as much. How ridiculous though... Talk about wasting paper as you use more up because of the massive print border the app has put on?

Is there a way to reduce the effective surface area of a magic mouse?

I apparently cannot hold my mouse the "correct" way. My palm still wants to rest on the back half of the mouse, particularly when I want to scroll. And sometimes when I grab the mouse, my finger will swipe the edge and cause the screen to scroll.
All I want to do is reduce the active surface area of the touch surface to be more centralized toward the front, you know where most mice buttons and scroll wheels are located. I have found no advantage to having such a large active surface area with the way I use a mouse.
Love the concept. Now I just want a little more control.
Oh, and since this is a typically, beautifully designed Apple product, an aesthetically pleasing solution is preferred, i.e. no duct tape.
Are there any clear protective adhesive covers for the Magic Mouse that would help?
Joe

The concept of the Magic Mouse is brilliant. I hated the scroll wheel. Loved when Apple had the scroll ball. But then that got annoying (all those track ball issues from days gone by are just as present with the scroll ball).
I thought the capacitive surface was the solution. Now it has only created its own version of the problems. I don't know if it is the software, bluetooth, the hardware, or increased sun spots. But it works brilliantly when I don't want it to (finger just hovering above the surface or just accidentally brush the edge with my finger) and doesn't when I need it to (surface area too large and the initial hesitation before it starts scrolling, which makes the screen jump to catch up).
What I hate most is when I am scrolling a window that has a embedded window that also scrolls (most often on web pages). The whole page stops scrolling. It's like a magnet to my curser (in that Murphy's law way). No matter where I put my curser when I scroll a window, it will almost always be where that embedded window is inline and stop my primary window from scrolling.
Has anyone gotten this right? Apple has done the best that I've found, but there is still much that needs improving.
Joe

Is there a way to reduce the pixel size of multiple photos in a slideshow?

I have a Windows 7 computer and use Photoshop Elements 9 and Premiere Elements 9. I recently completed a slideshow that contains about 360 photos, many or all of which exceed the maximum size of 1000 x 750 pixels. Is there any way that I can easily reduce the pixel size of each of the photos? If upgrading to the most recent versions of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements would help me accomplish this I would be willing to do this. Thanks very much in advance for any advice or suggestions.

You can batch process your images to re-size them in the editor using the menu:
File >> Process Multiple Files
Place your chosen photos in a separate folder and then choose a separate destination folder; so as not to overwrite the originals.

Is there a way to reduce the vividness of the icons in iOS7?

Do not know if it is my aging eyes or what but I cannot seem to focus when so many bright reds, blues, and greens are adjacent to each other. Is there a way to dial down the intensity of the colors (reduce the saturation)? Thank you in advance.

Hello cardstock,
You can adjust the brightness at any time using the Control Center in iOS 7:
You can access Control Center from anywhere in iOS—including the Lock screen. To access Control Center, swipe up from the bottom of the screen.To close Control Center, swipe down, tap the top of the screen, or press the Home button.
Find out more about Control Center here:
iOS: Understanding Control Center
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5858
Additionally, you can adjust the text and contrast:
Large and bold text
Display larger text in alerts, and in apps such as Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Messages, and Notes.
Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Larger Type, where you can turn on Larger Dynamic Type and adjust the font size.
Display bolder text for all items on iPhone. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn on Bold Text.
Increase text contrast on difficult backgrounds when possible. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn on Increase Contrast.
Those steps are from page 131 of the iPhone User Guide:
