Linked image borders in CS3

This must be simple to fix, but I cannot find the option...
When I attach an anchor tag to an image it automatically
assumes a blue
border. Of course I can turn this off in properties by
setting border=0 but
would like to turn it off permanently. None of my previous
versions of DW
did this.
Thanks

Linked Images in ID CS3

Just upgraded to CS3, working on a past document, with linked graphics. The .ai files seem to break their links every time I go off focus of ID. The .jpg and .bmp are holding their links fine, but wondered if there was something different to do in CS3? Specific icon being shown each time is the missing-link question mark. No images have been moved/changed. If I switch to read an email and go back, it breaks.
(Running Windows XP)
Thanks much.

Mike,
YES! Any ideas? It's very, very weird. Each time I switch to another window then go back, the .ai links "break" again. It's maddening. Hope all is well.

Linked Image Border Problems

This just started happening, and I can't figure out how or
how to fix it. When I open up a blank HTML page, insert an image,
then add a link to the image, DW automatically inserts a solid
border around the image. The border property is blank, where it
used to default to 0. I can manually change the border to 0 and it
gets rid of the border...but this is a pain to do for every single
linked image! Does anyone know what the problem is or how to fix
it? It used to automatically default to 0. I am using the latest DW
included with CS3.

This is actually default browser behaviour which DW is
emulating with the
code it's been given.

Pre-CS3, DW automatically inserted the border="0" attribute
into the <img>
tag on every single linked image.
From CS3 onwards, Adobe is dropping HTML formatting
attributes and
encouraging everyone to use CSS.

The CSS fix is much easier than the previous default to
border="0"
behaviour.
Just add "a img ( border: none; }" (without the quotes) to
your external
linked stylesheet.

CS3 - Design View not showing externally linked images

In CS3 Design View, externally linked images are not showing
up... i am only getting the place holder.
To prempt some questions:
1/ Links are correct and complete - apart from the fact that
they show up when previewing in the browser(s) - i have
crosschecked
2/ There are no spaces in the url
3/ In the 'View' menu, 'Display External Files' is checked
I had this problem before and escargo suggested saving and
rebooting. It worked then but strangely, today, that file is again
showing some of the externally linked images but not all. And on a
new file, created today, none of the externally linked images are
showing up... :(
I'm sure there's a simple solution to the problem... anyone
have any idea what it could be?
Thanks and cheers,
JJ

Nope. Some show - some don't.

Delete Image File & Linked Image (CS3)

Is there a way to do the following. I go into a document and delte a thumbnail image which is a linked image. I would like to delete the linked image the same time as I delets the thumbnail from the page. What is the best way to do this? I am ussing CS3
Thanks
Rob

Thanks for the comments. Basically I wanted the fastest way to delete an image on page and the linked image at the same time. I have done package before. The only thing I dont like about package is that all files end up in one folder. I have more than 1000 images sorted in some directories. It must be me but CS3 is a real dog performance wise on my quad core pc.

Illustrator CS3 - How can I remove a "linked" image???

I have an illy file that has several "linked" images.
Some of these I wanted to keep and have embedded.
However, I would like to delete two in particular...which the images are no longer available or desired. But I see no way to do this.
I have tried to go to outline mode/wireframe view... and there are no boxes indicating where these images should go...so I can't delete those.
The two images that Illy keeps asking for when I open the file have a red ? to the right of the image names.
How can I permanently get rid of these?
Thanks.

Interesting. I will try that next time I have that problem.
But on the off-chance it doesn't work for someone, what I have done in the past is to make a very small dummy file with the same name -- say a solid block if red -- and link the file to that. Then, Go To Link > Delete will work. It can be slow and painful if there are a lot of missing links, but it works.

Unable to open linked files in new CS3 install

One of my clients just purchased a new PC (Dell Inspiron 537S) with Windows Vista Home Premium to replace his old Inspiron 530 (also running Vista HP). After installing CS3 Design Studio and attaching an external drive loaded with his file archive, all of his Illustrator files which include links load with the following error:
"An error occurred trying to read the linked file "file.xxx". Choose Repair to locate the missing file, Replace to select another file or Ignore to leave the link unchanged."
This shouldn't be unusual, if the path to a linked file has changed, you'd need to point the link to the new path, but clicking Repair or Replace and browsing to the linked file (which invarably is in the same directory as the .ai file, and is usually a .psd which opens just fine in Photoshop) just cycles back to the same error message, ad infinitum. After about 30 tries, I got one of the links to load correctly, resaved the document, thinking that would repair it, but when I opened it again, got the error.
These files were created on multiple computers, and none of the other computers (all with CS3) have ever had any trouble opening them. This despite the drive letter on the external drive being unstable on the old system (would often be J:, K: or L:, and images always worked).
Any new .ai files we create on this file which have links all work fine.
Manually replacing the links in a file is not an option for two reasons:
1. There are thousands of .ai files in this archive, and re-linking images in them will take weeks.
2. It simply doesn't work. I tried ignoring the error on one file to load it, and re-linking the .psd backgrounds to re-save it, and the images still didn't load after re-linking them.
I have already tried doing a factory-restore of the system and reinstalling CS3, making sure that there were no errors in the install. What else might cause this behavior, and how can I resolve it?

What else might cause this behavior, and how can I resolve it?
Outdated permissions on the files from your old computer. Right-click, Properties --> Security --> Advanced, disable Inherit settings from parent folders, chose to copy. After that, delete outdated security keys and assign current ones. You may even need to go so fart as to Take Ownership of some files to correctly restore the new system's default security settings.

Can't change a linked image???

I have a lot left to learn in Dreamweaver but linking images I've done alot, I hope someone can help me on what I'm doing wrong. The linked image won't let me change links. Here is the home page http://kmmcement.com/. The bottom right picture under click to view slideshow is linked to slideshow.html. I changed the slideshow and named the new one ss.html. When I right click the picture and choose Change Link and select my new ss.html, it does not change it in the code. I tried manually to change it in the code and publish, but the new page won't load up (although when I preview the page, it loads fine.)
The only thing I've done differently on this site is that I finally learned to get the bottom navigation links to work without looking jumpy and jittery when clicking or rolling over them, by going to Modify - Page Properties and choosing links and set them up there (basic that I should've learned awhile ago). I didn't do the navigation bar until last, so would that have anything to do with not being able to change the link? If so, then how can I change it to where only the bottom navigation has it's own style as I'm sure there's going to be alot more links I'm going to be adding.
Thank you in advance for any help. (By the way, I'm using Dreamweaver CS3)

Starting on line 215 of your code, you have this:
<tr>
<td height="338"><div align="center">
<p class="style11">CLICK TO VIEW SLIDESHOW!</p>
<p><a href="slideshow.html"><img
src="images/slideshowpic.JPG" width="347" height="223"
border="0"/></a></p>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
Try changing it to this:
<tr>
<td height="338" style="text-align:center">
<p class="style11"><a href="ss.html">CLICK TO VIEW SLIDESHOW!</a></p>
<p><a href="ss.html"><img src="images/slideshowpic.JPG" width="347" height="223" border="0"/></a></p>
</td>
</tr>
Save. Upload page to server along with ss.html page. Hit refresh in your browser.

Linked image question

I create a monthly newsletter using InDesign CS3 (5.0.4) on a Dell Inspiron 6000 with a 1.5 GHz Pentium M processor, 2 GB of RAM and Win XP/SP3.
I collect information from various sources, some of which are Micorsoft Word documents with graphics, and I rarely have access to the separate graphic files. I have MS Word 2002 SP3.
I can Copy the graphics from Word into InDesign (when I right click on these images in Word, I do not have the Save Image As option). However, when I do so, the image is not linked, it is embedded, whatever the size of the image (and despite the Help file statement regarding images under/over 48 kB).
The problem I encounter is when I try to export (Cross Media Export/XHTML Dreamweaver) a specific newsletter article (Export/Selection), including those embedded graphics (I also create an web version of the newsletter), I receive a message that "...only linked images are exported." I want to export the article including the graphics.
After searching through the InDesign Help file, I found info that says to choose Window/Automation/Data Merge/Content Placement Options/Link Images to link and not embed images. This I have done.
After searching this forum, I found a posting that says Copy/Paste does not preserve links(from any application except another ID file).
In the ID Help file is a statement that the Links panel can be used to change the status (linked or embedded) of a graphic. However, when I open the Links panel after pasting an image into a frame, the only choices are Copy Links and Sort. I concluded that the limited choices are a result of the lack of a separate graphics file. Correct?
I can Paste the image into InDesign, Export it as a JPG (to create a separate graphics file), delete the Pasted image from the ID file, and then Place the JPG file into the ID file. That creates a linked image, which is included with the selected exported newsletter article.
Is there a better (simpler) way to accomplish this task?

There are a number of ways to get graphics out of Word/Powerpoint/Excel, but copy/paste into Indesign is the worst, mainly because you get only screen resolution.
1) Place the Word file. You'll get embedded graphics again (most of them at least), but there's nothing to stop you from unembedding them (through the Links panel), and you'll get full resolution images, not screen previews.
2) Print the Word file to PDF and then Place pages of the PDF.
3) Save the Word file to a web page (as mentioned by Jay and Jeffrey in this thread).
4) Open the Word file in OpenOffice, save in OO's native format, change the extension to .zip, and unzip the file (where you'll find your graphics in separate files).
5) My personal favorite: Copy out of Word and paste into Illustrator or Photoshop. Michael mentioned Photoshop too, but it's important to use the right program depending on the content. If you have a bitmap (a photo, scan, or screen capture), paste it into Photoshop. If you have a vector graphic (a drawing consisting of lines and shapes, like a graph) or a combination of vector and bitmap, paste it into Illustrator. The reason this is my favorite is because it gives me a chance to fix the graphic. If nothing else, everything from Word comes in as RGB, but I also usually need to change the typeface and size the graphic appropriately.

Links Problem in Dreamweaver CS3 !

I recently reinstalled my Dreamweaver CS3. Now everytime i save a file, it saves the whole directory path with the file name. So when i opened my index page and saved it with some changes, all my css tables have been lost. and all the links in the file are relative to my system directory.
BEFORE, it was index.html
AFTER SAVE, it is "C:\Documents and Settings\Idiot User\index.html"
this has happened to EACH link that i used in my page, so even the css stylesheet is not working.
the entire website appears perfectly in Dreamweaver, but when i upload the files to my webspace, the links link to "file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Delvin/My%20Documents/CBPC%20Website/sermons.html" , for example.
also when i change the links, image locations to the File-only, and remove the directory bit, the images disappear in dreamweaver.
Everything was working perfectly, until i re-installed the program. Can anyone suggest a way in which every file and every link is synced; so it is what it says it is WYSIWYG !

i do NOT think that it is a helpful answer .
You may not think so, but it sounds like a very plausible explanation and a mighty good place to start looking.
In your site definition settings, are your links relative to Document or Site Root?
Which operating system are you using?
Did you get all the latest updates for CS3 since re-installing?

Linked image border

This is small but irritating issue. Ever since upgrading to
CS3,
whenever I add a link to an image Dreamweaver puts the blue
border
around it. I have to manually set the border to 0 in the
properties to
get rid of it. Like I say it's no big thing but just another
step I have
to do. I cannot find anything in preferences that would have
a no border
rule for linked images. In MX2004 there this was never an
issue, if you
wanted the border you had to manually set it.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Fred

>>Ever since upgrading to CS3,
> whenever I add a link to an image Dreamweaver puts the

Dreamweaver is actually not doing anything. What you're
seeing is normal
behaviour for linked images in some browsers such as IE when
no border
property is specified in CSS or HTML.
>> In MX2004 there this was never an issue,
That's because MX2004 used to automatically insert border="0"
as an HTML
attribute in the <img> tag as soon as you added a link
to the image (check
for "0" being inserted in the border field in the Property
Inspector next
time you use MX 2004).
DW is moving users ever more towards CSS-only formatting and
is dropping
HTML formatting of all kinds, which includes border="0" on
linked images.
To solve the issue with CS3, just add the line "a img
(border: 0; }" to an
external stylesheet which is linked to all pages in your
site. This will
tell all browsers to apply a zero border to any image inside
an <a> tag i.e.
all linked images

Image size PS CS3

I have 2 cameras a Fuji S2 and Nikon D300. The Fuji images out of the camera are 10 mgs. The Nikon 12mgs. When I bring the Nikon images into PS CS3 the image size is 34.9 pixel dimension at 300 res. The remains this size but the res. is 72. This cannot be right. The Fuji images are smaller than the Nikon. Shouldn't the image size reflect what the image size actually is?

Mary,
This is the LINK that you want for PS for Windows.
Basically, you answer will be that some cameras' files will show different PPI dimensions. If you set this to the same, for each camera's output, you'll clearly see the difference in the megapixels, that you expect.
Good luck,
Hunt

Linked images become embedded after re-opening file

Hi,
I have linked images to my Illustrator CS3 file but when I close the application and file then re-open later, the tiff files show that they are now embedded. I have one eps file that stays as a linked file. All images are stored on a network server while my files reside on my hard drive.
Has anyone else encountered this type of problem with Illustrator? Any fix?
Thanks for your help!
Janet

It used to be that even when you embedded a link, saved, close, then reopened, even though the art was embedded, the name of the file would remain in the links palette -- which was very helpful in case you wanted to find that file again. In CS3 though, when you save, close, and reopen, the name of the embedded art is missing. Any way to keep that name in there EVEN THOUGH we intend to embed it???

Illustrator cannot find linked images

Illustrator CS3 cannot find linked images that are stored on another server volume.
Example: My Illustrator file is stored on one server volume and my images on another.
Both volumes are mounted on the desktop but, Illustrator asks to locate linked images
when I try to open the file. After locating one linked file all others linked to this document
are then found. If I save and close this file and reopen it, it will ask again to locate the linked images.
System specifics:
Illustrator CS3
Mac OS 10.5.6
Intel PowerMac
Thanks

One thing you can do to save a lot of disc space is to make aliases of the pictures you're using and place them instead of the originals. Keep the aliases in the same folder as your artwork. Works fine as long as you've got the server with the originals mounted and you avoid having to search for the originals, just go to the aliases instead. A lot of people seem to have forgotten about aliases but they're an incredible time and space saver. We use them all the time.
