Layering photos and getting text up front

I'm finding iBooks Author terribly frustrating.
I am building a photo book where there are sometime two or more photos on a page. When I use the gallery widget and create a text box on top of a photo I can never get the layers to come out right in the preview. I want the photo in the back with the text on top. But even though the text is showing in the application properly I can not get it to show up in the preview. Also, photos (gallery) pushed to the back always are on top even though I have clearly sent them to the back.
Has anyone encountered this and come up with a solution?

Is the only point of the text to indicate that you can click on the image and it will go fullscreen? If so it may not be necessary as I think clicking on photo to see it full screen is a very common setup for many books and readers will naturally do this.
If you are still worried you can always indicate that the image can be tapped with something like a distinctive border (stroke the image, etc.).

My daughter and granddaughter both have the same model iPhone. I can text my granddaughter but when I try to text my daughter I get the message that she is not registered at iMessage, but I know that she is and gets texts all the time. What do I need to

My daughter and granddaughter have the same model iPhone. I can go messages and text my granddaughters phone from my ipad2, but when I try to text my daughter I get the message that she is not registered with I message, but she is registered and gets texts all the time. What do we need to do?

What blue bubble are you trying to turn on? If you mean that the Send button will not work, go to Settings>Messages>Show Subject Field>Off. Make sure that is set to off.
If you send an iMessage, the texts between the devices appear in a blue bubble.
iMessages only work between iOS devices and they are different than the standard text messages that any cell phone can send to another cell phone.

How can I join together a photo and a text (or other vector files)?

Hi all.
I'm trying to do a poster with a sort of graffiti writings on a wall but I can't reach for any kind of realism. I'd like to see the writing on the wall like it was actually written.
I'm using a real photo behind the writings but the image and the text don't connect together, it is simply like a copy-past work. I don't know if I was clear because English is not my first language.. the effect I'd like to reach is like if the writings were printed on the wall.. but the wall is a photo so I don't know if they can be joined together..

Sounds like you are looking to make the writing realistic. That is better done in photoshop. Some tisp you can sue
use a blending mode on your writing so that it blends naturally into
If your wall is made of brick for example, you can save a grayscale imageg of your weall and use displace in photoshop to distort the writng so it looks liek it is follwoing a bump mapo of the grayscale imaeg you made
you can use a grayscale of your wall as a mask on your writing. Use a curve to brighten the mask, so most of the writing shows through, except for some edges and such you want to roughen up

When I open my iphoto, the screen is blank and the wheel keeps spinning. I do I recover my photos and get iphoto to respond?

My iphoto is acting up. I hope I have not lost all of my pictures. When I open up iphoto, I get a blank screen. I have NO idea how to recover my photos. Also, the wheel keeps spinning and I cannot click on anything to force quit things so I have held my power button down to turn off the computer. Can someone please help me?

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Insurt photo and get message issue id="THREE_PIXEL_JOG" name="Three Pixel Text Jog"/

I insert a photo size 300 x225 and when I check it the size is 3X3 what is wrong.

My wild, flat out guess is you have placed the image without an html width or height attribute and your id of "THREE_PIXEL_JOG" is set to a height and width of 3px in the css.
If that's not the case, we'll need to see your code and image. A link to your malfunctioning page, here in the forum, would be the best way to do that.

Book module LR 5.7 adding photos and putting text in spine

I'm creating a book in the book module of Lightroom. I imported photos from a collection and used auto layout. I wish to add two more photos. I've added them to the collection, but I can't add them to the book I'm creating. i haven't yet clicked on create saved book.
Another problem I'm having is adding text to the spine of a hardcover dust jacket. I did it once and deleted it. Now it won't allow to type in any text. I've repeatedly clicked on the spine and a yellow box comes up, but I can't type in it.

Many thanks for this, but the photos are not on the film strip. They are in the collection, and they weren’t there when I went to book module and used auto layout for the collection. What I need to know is how to get additional photos into the book I’m creating which weren’t in the original collection. As to the spine, I’ve tried dragging the mouse to highlight text, but it is isn’t there. When I go to the 1:1 view I can see the spine very large on the screen and there is nothing on the spine.

I purchased extra icloud storage to back up my phone and photos. Purchased a new phone and went to download phtotos on new phone and only a portion of my photos are back on my new phone. How do I find all my photos and get them on my new phone

I purchased extra icloud storage to back up my phone and phots. Purchased a new phone and went to pull my photos from icloud and only a portion trasferred to my new phone. How do I get all of the photos moved to my new phone?

Not photos, just data synced with iCloud shown in Settings>iCloud. If you don't have sufficient storage to back up to iCloud, back up to your computer instead using iTunes (connect you phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to ths Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now). Also transfer your purchases to your iTunes library (connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases). If you have photo stream photos older than 30 days tha you wan to save, save these to your camera roll before backing up (tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).
When setting up your new phone, when given the option choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore the backup you made earlier.

How do I sync one photo from phone to computer? Seems like this was easy on my Apple 1, but I can't figure it out with 3G. I can only sync new photos-and get all of them.

How do I sync one photo from my iPhone 3G to computer. My only option is to sync all new photos. Do I need iPhoto?

Yes, you do need iPhoto, or at least for the following: Plug it into the computer with the USB plug you get with it, and iTunes will automatically open. It doesn't matter if you keep it open or not, because you'll import them to iPhoto. When you open iPhoto, it will automatically go to your iPhone's inventory of photos. Choose a photo that you wish to import (or click import all), type in the titile, and click import. A pop-up message will come up that asks if yu want to keep originals. Click yes, and viola. Your photos are on your computer! Hope this helps.

[CS4 JS] Find a paragraph style and get text contents

Hello,
I would like to get to contents of text that is applied with a specific paragraph style, so that I can copy it to another text frame
app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "headline";
// and then get the value/contents of that applied paragraph style
Sjoerd

Something like this:
str = "";
found = app.activeDocument.findText();
for (i = 0; i < found.length; i++)
str += found[i].contents;
"str" now contains aal text styled with that paragraph, which you can now save in a text file.

How do I get text in front of a picture in Pages '09?

I have to put a picture as the background to a document. I've brought down the opacity but now I can't figure out how to get the picture to go behind the text. When I right click it there's an option to bring it forward or backward but it won't let me click it. Help!

Hi Sarah,
Select the picture.
Go Arrange > Send Objects to Background.
If you want the picture to appear on every page (of a word processing document):
Go Format > Advanced > Move object to Section Master.
Regards,
Barry

White screen when pressing home button and getting text

Strange thing, hopefully software bug. I press the home button to check time and all that shows is a white screen. It's not the white screen of death because I can simply press the sleep button and then go straight back to what I was doing, pressing home button, etc. and it's fine. I've even taken a screen shot of it with iPhone. All that appears is my true wallpaper, as if it didn't know it wasn't already showing it. Also, it's very random. I can't reproduce. It's pretty minor as I can quickly getout of it but I want it clean.
I've restored, restored as new, reset, turned on/off, everything I can think of. Any ideas?
I also have the speaker distortion bug many are talking about (blown speaker sound).
I have a genius bar appointment Sunday so I'm curious what they say.

I suggest going through the usual troubleshooting steps:
1. Reset the phone by pressing both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears (ignore red slider).
2. Setting > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
3. Restore in iTunes using a backup.
4. Restore as a new iPhone
5. Take it to the Genius Bar.

HT204120 Iphone shows 96 photos, sync memory show 1130 photos how do I find out what they are and get rid of them

iphone shows 96 photos, how do i find what is using my memory for photos and get rid of them

You're looking in the wrong place. The "96 photos" are in iPhoto on your Mac and are being synced to your phone. This doesn't include all those taken on the phone.
To see the total number of photos on your phone:
Settings > General > About > Photos >
To see how much memory photos are using:
Settings > General > Usage > Storage > Manage Storage >Photos & Camera
To select what to delete:
For photos taken on the phone: Photos > select photo you want to delete > trashcan on bottom. Note that deleted photos are stored in the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. To delete them immediately, select them again from that album > delete or select Delete All
For photos synced to your phone from your computer, deselect them in iTunes and sync again. They can't be deleted directly on the phone.

Is it possible to edit a DNG file in Photoshop and get back to Lightroom?

Hi,
The question title probably doesn't explain much what I'm looking for...
I shot in RAW and then converted to DNG, I like DNG and I can't understand what so many people have against it, anyway that's not the point...
I know have the DNG as my digital negative instead of the original RAW file and I start to do some editing in Lightroom. But then I realized that Lightroom is not enough for something I want to do. For instance, just today I had this picture I needed to remove some people and I had to use heal/clone but as you know, Lightroom's clone and heal features are not as flexible as Photoshop ones.
So now I needed to go into Photoshop, fix the photo and get back to Lightroom and continue my editing. However, I couldn't find a way to do it how I wanted to do... What I did was open the original (unedited) DNG in Photoshop, Adobe Camera Raw pops up and I ignore it, remove the people from the photo and save as TIFF. Then, back in Lightroom I open the new edited TIFF and copy Lightroom's settings from one photo (the DNG) to the other (the edited TIFF).
This workflow sucks and I know there are some options in Lightroom to automate it, but still, I don't think it would solve my problem. At least I couldn't find a way to do it...
What I wanted to do instead was to indeed remove that people from the photo with Photoshop but keep those changes in DNG. But take a note here that those changes could very much be destructive, I'm not talking about ACR or Lightroom's non-destructive editing, the removed people would be gone forever unless I draw some new ones. I really wanted to edit and save some changes on the DNG in Photoshop and keep editing the DNG in Lightroom without using a TIFF in between, do everything in the DNG.
Is this possible or not at all?

sorry, no can do...ain't gonna happen.
What you've done is hit the wall on is the basic difference between lite duty spot healing and photo level tone and color correction (Lightroom and Camera Raw) and heavy duty pixel retouching in Photoshop.
When you need to substantially manipulate the "pixels" you need Photoshop and you'll be forced to render the raw file into a TIFF or PSD file either through Camera Raw or more better, via Lightroom.
You can do the basic tone and color correction directly in Lightroom and edit in Photoshop from Lightroom. But you will NEED to create and save out a "rendered" image that is no longer raw...then retouch to your heart's desire, save it and it'll be available in Lightroom along side your original raw if you choose.
But no, there's no way to open a raw in Photoshop, manipulate the heck out of it with massive retouching then save that back out as a raw file...ain't gonna happen.
