Linked graphic reverses to its original size in alternate layout

Hi, I'm using “Create Alternate Layout” function to export different orientations as well as sizes for my book. However, I’ve encountered problem keeping the graphic (size) inserted in the text frames as it is: the linked graphic in my second layout was resized to better fit the new layout, and I’ve checked every item in “preserve local edits while updating object links”; the graphic is, however, inserted in the threaded text frames (meaning it’s not a single object) in order to keep the text flow. My question is, every time I have updated the contents, the linked graphic in my second layout reverses to its original size. How can I fix this?

I have exactly the same problem. The main photo in my (14) alternate layouts resizes whenever I adjust the size of the photo on the original layout, despite my having checked off all and/or a combination of 'preserve local edits' options in the link options dialogue.
I could just place the photo (unlinked from the original layout) into all of my alternate layouts, but life would be easier if Indesign honored the 'preserve local edits' rules I established initially.
What's up with that?

  • How can I get a tab to open in an oversize jpg image in its original size with scroll bars when I click on a link?

    I have a small program for storing my genealogy names and jpg images of the census pages where each name is found. The images have a thumbnail link that opens in a new tab to view the actual oversized census page. In the new tab the census page is small and not readable. How do I get the jpg image to appear in its original size with schroll bars so I can read the census in the firefox browser without using the zoom feature. It takes several clicks on the zoom to get the image to a readable size and that is time consuming, especially when I have several images opened.

    That works, thank you!
    Could I suggest that this feature (the ability to turn off or turn on the auto-resize of images) be part of the Options tab on Firefox? I think it's a setting that some users might want to change fairly often--even toggle back and forth on. It's a little annoying to have to go into about:config every time to do this.

    Well, when you open the program, the splash screen, the window you see while the program is opening, should make that clear enough. For example:

  • How do i save a file in its original size?

    Photoshop automatically scales my large files to 8-12% giving me lower print quality.

    Thank you so much for all of your time and info!
    I changed the Image Options-Quality to 12 (the maximum, it was automatically set at 10) and chose baseline standard instead of baseline optimized. This results in a 17 MB file (still less than the 18MB file, but I'll take it). I have tried all sorts of combinations and still haven't gotten the original size.
    You mentioned color profile and now I'm having all sorts of problems with that. When I uncheck "embed color profile: ProPhoto RGB" The color in the new file is totally different. The original says the color format is sRGB. When I change the profile in PS to sRGB, it looks much different than the original, it looks the same as if I uncheck ProPhoto RGB. I want to make copies of the pictures onto a disc and then give them to different family members to print. Most of them will send it to Costco or somewhere like that to print, but I'm worried that if I save it in TIFF or ProPhoto RGB that not everybody will be able to open the files on their computers.
    What is the best way to ensure that the photo prints as closely as possible to what I see on my screen?
    I have included snapshots of the same image saved multiple different ways. The first image on the left is the original. You can see in the little thumb nail to difference in colors between the different color profiles. When I uncheck embed color profile ProPhotoRGB, it shows now color profile on the file info. When I change the color profile to sRGB in Photoshop it looks totally different from the original which says is also sRGB.
    On a side note, I use Light Room for all that I can and I don't have any of these problems. I just import and export on its automatic presets and everything stays the same.

  • Automatically open any website in its original size?

    hi there
    webpages are designed in an original size - most of them different from others.
    is there a way to set safari (or any other browser) to automatically fit the window of any new website to the ORIGINAL size of this website? or is there any plug in that would do?
    thanks in advance for your help.

  • Return an image to its original size?

    Hi everyone,
    When trying to sort layouts in indesign I'm very often scaling pictures until they fit in the page correctly. But is there a way to reset the original size of the image without having to re-import when I want to try a different size?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    The reason for not using that is it scales text wrap amounts and does strange things to the listed weights for strokes and font sizes when objects have been scaled.
    If you select the image itself (direct select tool, or double-click in CS5), you should see the current scale percentage in the horizontal and verical scale fields on the control panel. Reset to 100%, then fit frame to content.

  • Accidentally I enlarge a window. Best way to return to its original size?

    Sometimes I accidentally enlarge a window. What is the best way to return to its original sign?

    Usually there is a place in the window where three colors of dots are, and the Green dot can make the screen larger and then the same one can make it smaller again.
    Not sure if this helps...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Linked picture gets smaller than its original size when it's copy-pasted.

    This confuses me because some does and some doesn't. A picture always gets smaller when I copy-paste from Mspaint. And some pictures does this too when I just copy-paste itself. So, I need to adjust size manually and it really bothers me, is there any solution for this?

    Some application disply images pixel by pixel, that is: one pixel in the image is one pixel on the monitor. Illustrator uses the image's resolution to display it.

  • HT2513 How do you get iCal to its original size after having asked it to fill the screen.

    The iCal now fills the whole screen and I do not see how you reduce the size.

    Mouse up to the top of the screen and then click the blue icon in the menu bar when it appears.
    Or you can press the escape key.

  • I have a numbers sheet which suddenly turned up as a thumbnails.jpeg which I can see is a spreadsheet but too tiny to view. How can I open it in its original size and how did this migrate to a firefox doc app?

    I have a MAC OSX10.6.8. I use Apple's numbers program to do spreadsheets.
    I have a spreadsheet which I have worked on intermittently for 3 years. The last time I closed it in Sept 2011. it was ok. When I reopened it again in Nov it had become a "Thumbnail.jpeg (240x310 pixels.) " I can see that it is the spreadsheet, but I can not enlarge it so that it is useful. It is just a blurred image. I have no idea how this happened. When I click on it, firefox opens so I believe that it is a Firefox app.
    Info from Firefox:

    Encoding: ISO-8859-1

  • Can you open a Jpeg graphic and reduce its size without it becoming pixilated and blurry?

    Hi I am new to Illustrator and photoshop.
    I am designing a birthday poster on A4.  I recently received a graphic of a bird that is in JPE and PNG format. When I
    opened the graphic it was huge - as big as the screen and looked fantastic, smooth outline and crystal clear.  Its a great
    graphic but I want to make a border of small birds to outline the poster.  When I downsized the graphic by transforming
    it to 10% its original size it looked really rubbish - all blurry and when i printed it out it was not very good at all!
    I'm obviously completely new to Adobe software so i don't know all the correct terminology.  Basically I just want the graphic
    of the bird to be alot  smaller and look as smooth and sleek as it does when its massive.  The graphic is 1200 x 1200 pixels
    and i want it to be about 50 x 50.  How do I do it?  Can it be done? Or is all my efforts in vain!!!
    A few people have said I need photoshop but when I tried it on there it still didn't work.  I'm wondering if its the graphic
    that is the problem.
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Lauren

    Go back to photoshop open the image in the in Phooshop then
    1 go to Image>Image Size
    2 uncheck at the bottom left the option to resample
    3 make certain Constrain Proportions is checked
    4 to the right of the width input field there is three drop downs on the top one select percent
    5 then in the width change the percentage to 10%
    6 now look at the resolution field if it is more than 300 or 355 ppi at this point check the resample art and change resolution setting to 300 or 355 ppi or what ever your printer prefers. It is not likely with this reduction it will be smaller than 300ppi.
    7 now save the file with a different name using the Save As command.
    8 place this file in Illustrator and make it symbol now place the symbols instances instead of copying it each time.

  • Simple question - make an image the original size

    Hello everyone. I have a very simple question. How do I make an image that I have inserted into a pages document display at the original image size. I have selected the image, brought up the inspector and selected the Graphic inspector but it does not seem to give you that option.
    You would have thought this would be easy wouldn't you? I am seriously considering going back to microsoft office at this rate!!!

    Hello
    Don't drop Pages for that
    If the picture is not at its original size a button is active.
    If the picture is at its original size the same button is greyed.
    If it is too simple, you may *go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Numbers" menu*, describe what you wish.
    Then, cross your fingers, and wait for iWork'09

  • PictureLibrarySlideshowWebPart - Change image size to original size

    Hi,
    I'm using the PictureLibrarySlideshow Web part as image slider in the banner of a SharePoint website. Apparently this web part changes the image size so it is smaller than its original size.
    Is there a simple solution to solve this and resize the image? I found some Jquery solutions but they did not fix the problem.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    Ward010 ,
    In Slideshow web part, picture is initialized with field value that contains the Url of  Web image (EncodedAbsWebImgUrl  field). Unfortunately it is not supported to configure in web part what image
    type (original, web or thumbnail) should be displayed in Slideshow The solution that demonstrated below allows to display original images instead of web images in Slideshow web part.
    In order to specify original images, method overriding for picture initialization is used:
    function SlideshowObjectInitializer() {
      ShowPic = (function(ShowPicOrig) {
          return function() {
               var ssObj = arguments[0];  //SlideShow object
               var curPicIdx=ssObj.index; //current picture index
               ShowPicOrig.apply(this, arguments); //call original ShowPic
               //apply some changes to display original picture in SlideShow control
               ssObj.image.src = ssObj.linkArray[curPicIdx]; //display original image instead of web image
               //change picture & container size to auto instead of fixed (by default web image size is used)
               ssObj.image.setAttribute('height','100%');
                   ssObj.image.setAttribute('width','100%');
                   var cell = ssObj.cell;
                   cell.style.width = 'auto';
                   cell.style.height = 'auto';
                   cell.style.display = '';
                   var pcell = ssObj.cell.parentNode;
               pcell.style.width = 'auto';
                   pcell.style.height = 'auto';
      })(ShowPic);
    ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(SlideshowObjectInitializer, 'imglib.js');
    Save      JavaScript code to the file, for example in SlideshowObjectInitializer.txt      and upload it to SiteAssets Library
    Add      CEWP on page where Slideshow web part is located and in the Content Editor      tool pane, under Content Link property,     
    type /SiteAssets/SlideshowObjectInitializer.txt

  • Parallel effect reversing on its own. FLEX BUG.

    Hi,
    The problem is that the parallel effect (that includes resize
    and move) plays well with my custom component, however when it
    reaches the EFFECT_END, it plays in reverse to its original
    position, on its own. I cannot figure it out why. This reverse
    effect is done in half of the duration set.
    This is the code:
    private function setLayoutAndPosition( pod:*, rect:Rectangle
    ):void
    // Transition the location
    var move:Move = new Move( pod );
    move.xFrom = pod.x;
    move.xTo = rect.x;
    move.yFrom = pod.y;
    move.yTo = rect.y;
    move.duration = 2000;
    // Transition the size
    var resize:Resize = new Resize( pod );
    resize.widthFrom = pod.width;
    resize.widthTo = rect.width;
    resize.heightFrom = pod.height;
    resize.heightTo = rect.height;
    resize.duration = 2000;
    var parallel:Parallel = new Parallel();
    parallel.addChild(move);
    parallel.addChild(resize);
    parallel.play();
    I am utilizing an effect taken from the source code of the
    Flex Developer Center called Community Widgets (
    bottom of the page)
    which is working correctly. Its pretty cool eh!.
    BTW: Took me some time to find out why I couldn't run the
    source code. You have to rename ListEvent to any other name.
    If anybody has any idea please le me know,
    Many thanks!
    Jose.

    Listen for the effect end, and then explicitly set the width

  • Opening SWF to its exact size in HTML (ASP page)

    Hi,
    I have one popup window to open any SWF. User clicks a button
    from some other page and the file name is passed to this popup
    window through parameter. The popup window itself is sized at 100%
    to accomodate with any SWF file.
    For the SWF object, if width and height parameters are
    missing, the animation has a default size, if width and height are
    specified at 100%, the animation is resized much bigger...
    Is it possible to find the exact size of the SWF (either by
    VBScript or Javascript) and to resize the control to its original
    size, either using VB variables when the page is built or with
    Javascript once the page is loaded ?
    Many thanks for your help
