Linked images rather than Embedded Images

Is there a way to have an image in a Pages document be linked rather than embedded? The intention would be to maintain photo quality but reduce the size of the document. This would be similiar to indesign.
Cheers.

Hello Bryan,
Pahes has not such a function. All you can do is to place a link by hand into the document package folder. This means to show the document in the Finder, do a control-click onto it's icon and choose the item "Show Package Contents" from the appearing menu. Now you will see a new window with all the content of the document in it. Take the images out and place a link with the exact name plus ending of the image into the folder. But be sure to place a symbolic link (type into Terminal: "ln -s <path>/<imageName>", when you have navigated with: "cd <documentPackgeFolderPath>" into the document package folder) or this will not work.
If you think this is the kind of way that works for you than use it. But I think this is no way for a production workflow.

Can i send images by email as attachments rather than embedded in email

can i send images by email as attachments rather than embedded in email

How the email message looks in Mail is fairly irrelevant to how it will look to the recipient. An image attached to an email message is an attachment regardless of how the client displays it. Some will display it inline, others as an icon in a list of attached files. Regardless, it is an attachment and should be capable of being opened, saved to another location, etc.
Unfortunately, some Windows email clients (*cough* Outlook *cough*) are absolutely crippled when it comes to email standards, and make it difficult for recipients to view or save some attached images. You can better ensure success with Outlook by using Windows-friendly attachments and only sending plain text email, rather than HTML email. However, Outlook is still Outlook, and it does not play well with others.
If you must communicate with people who use Outlook try uploading your photos to an album on Picasa, Flikr, Shutterfly, etc, and then send people a link instead. Or convince them to use a real email client, like Thunderbird.

How to Display the Image Rather Than the Link of a Dreamweaver Record From the Database

I wanted the image rather than the link to appear on my page. The link is from my database which is
imported from a .csv file.

You use the link as the value of the src attribute of an <img> tag:
<img src="<?php echo $row_getDetails['image_link']; ?>" alt="My image">

Page set up as an image rather than text: why?

I built my website using iWeb and added several of the same type of page. For some reason, 2 of the 6 pages appear as images rather than text. Seemingly search engines don't pick up the information on them in that case and since these are my two most important pages, I need to fix this. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Thanks.

I downloaded the software you suggested
What software was that? I didn't recommend any software in this topic. Are you referring to the software I suggested for adding "alt" titles to photos? That shouldn't have anything to do with text boxes getting converted to images. What type of page are you working with, welcome, photo, etc? Have you set iWeb's Texts preferences so that it will display this indicator when a text box is converted to an image:
Make sure the text boxes are not overlapping any other object on the page. Can you provide the URL so we can view the problem first hand?

Is there a way to have numbers in a row show below your slideshow rather than thumbnail images?

I'd like to have just a row of numbers for the viewer to tick through, rather than thumbnail images, to save space around my slideshow...have checked the counter but that must not have been the thing

Hello,
Slideshow thubnails won't accept anything else apart from images. Slideshows only accept images. Use compositions if you wish to insert text etc.

Linking rather than embedding movies

Hi,
I have been using Keynote for several years and have always embedded my movies within my presentation (i.e., selecting "copy audio and movies into document" during the initial save). Despite embedding the movies, I still keep a local copy of each in the same directory.
I'd like to, at the very least, link to rather than embed movies in future presentations, but don't know how that will affect portability. I often create my presentation on one machine and present using another. To that end:
1) Does anyone know how Keynote stores the location of media files that are not embedded? Are they absolute or relative?
2) Also, is there any way to "undo" embedding in existing Keynote files for which I had selected "copy audio and movies..." the presentations were created?
Thanks in advance.

>Someone probably knows better then me, but can't you
embed the font in the library and then refer to it programatically?
Yes, you can do this, but this is a bit kludgy in my opinion.
I'd rather not HAVE to know that there is a font in the library
that I need to use. I'd rather be able to take the font of a
textfield that I am already using and then use the font that is
already embedded in that textfield to create create new textfields.
Creating a font symbol in the library is just adding extra
weight to the SWF file. If I have a textfield on the stage that
already has the font outlines, then adding the same font to the
library is just extra weight. But again it's not just a weight
issue - I'd rather not have to know that the font is in the library
to begin with.
I'd rather be able to say "Hey, you know that textfield on
the stage? well, use the same font for a new textfield? What's the
font that the textfield is using? I don't know and I don't care.
Just use the same font."

Is this a slideshow played directly from an album or Event or one created in the slideshow mode?
If it's the former that's been a problem for a many users. There hasn't been a firm fix found for it as yet.
There is a workaround. Put the photos in the order you want, select them all and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Title to Text menu option. Put in Slide and check the box to add a sequential number to give you Slide-01, Slide-02, etc.
Now when clicking the play button at the bottom of the Album or Event window the slides will play in the order Slide-01, Slide-02, etc.
The best workaround is to use the iPhoto slideshow mode to crate the slideshow. There's been no reorts of similar problems in that mode.

Changing the inside of text to an image rather than colour

It's probably a simple answer so apologies in advance!
I have some text ( see attached photo)
How do I change the background of the text to an image, rather than being blue? I want it to be a picture of bacteria rather than blue. I have all the adobe software if I need to switch programmes to do it, but would rather stick to illustrator.
Thank you!

1. place your image
2. position your text on it, and make sure it is above it in the stack order (Object > Arrange > Bring to front)
3. select both text and image, and hit ctrl + 7 (or Object > Clipping Mask > Make)

Is it possible to use Aperture to make a new image from two existing ones--ie, in a new jpg? I essentially want to create a collage that I can then print as a single image, rather than in a book. Any advice will be most welcome!

(Added)
The main point is that Aperture is used to make digital negatives as good as they can be (for the uses you define), but it does not ADD date to your digital negatives, nor does it produce NEW combination files. For those tasks you need a Graphics program.

How do I "see" what is behind a "?" when this shows up rather than an image?

How do I ”see” what is behind a "?" when this shows up rather than an image

The "?" in a graphics container box means that the file can't be read, hasn't been downloaded or is simply unavailable.
If you'd tell us where, exactly, you're seeing this icon, we may be able to help. If it's in email, for example, usually all you have to do is select "download pictures" (I use Outlook, so I don't know the Mail equivalent).

Importing one image rather than all

Hi
We get numerous customers bringing in their digital cameras wanting us to download their photo of their car, truck, house, etc. for a photoad in our paper.
Is there a way to import just one image number rather than all images on the card/camera?
Thanks
Heather

Hi Heather, there sure is!
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options. You can download some or all the images.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

Safari always opens a linked file rather than download it.

Safari always opens a linked file rather than download it. Can't always Right Click for menu option as the web page is not setup that way.
Have tried trashing the Downloads.plist from the user library. Still no joy.
Thanks anyone

Hi guys
Thanks for suggestions. Carolyn, I did as you suggested but didn't solve problem. KeeChan, as explained in original post, that is my usual fallback but not all web sites work like that. Try downloading Safari - right click (Ctrl Click) on download button and all you get is the "Download.png" image.
I finally found the answer. A long time ago I had downloaded and used "SpeedDownload" and had deleted it. Somehow, some trace of the app was left behind and the mime association with dmg files was messed up.
You can not get rid of Speed Download by throwing its files away or by using an app cleaner product. You MUST run the Speed Download installer program and select the "uninstall" option to remove it.
My browsers now download dmg files correctly.

How can I sent photos as attachment rather than embedded in the email?

For work, I need to send photos to my editor via email. In Mail, the jpgs automatically become embedded in the body of the the email, but my editor would prefer to receive them as attachments. Is there any way to send photos as attachments in Mail, rather than embedded email itself?

LaSylphide, the Mail forum shows up as one of the categories within the "Mac OS and System Software" forum. Click on whichever version of OSX you're using, and you'll see the list of categories.
There are several threads on this topic, and I've seen three solutions:
1. Check the "Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" box. Some people say it works, some say it doesn't.
2. Open Terminal and type:
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
Some people say this works, some say it doesn't.
3. In Mail > Preferences > Composing, make sure "Message Format" is set to "Plain Text." Once again, some say this works, some say it doesn't.
Hopefully, one of those will solve your problem. There may also be a setting in your editor's email program that would solve it, but I'm assuming that's a Windows app and I haven't worked with Windows since 1993, so I'm no help there.

Treats every graphic link/button like a view image rather than directing me to the target address.

Not sure how to explain this -
if I'm visiting a website and click on a graphic link, it directs me to a new tab displaying the graphic image I just clicked, rather than the target site. It treats every graphic link (or button) like I'm asking to "view image".
I've tried right clicking to "open link in new tab" - same result.
Sorry I can't explain it any clearer.

Why is my image showing up as a clip of 8 repeating images, rather than a single image? It does not show up 8 times in the movie, only in the editing screen as a clip with torn edges. This hasn't happened before.

In the past, when I moved an image from the frame where I would store all the media I may want to use in a particular project, to the upper frame where you create the project, the image would only show up as a single frame. Now, it is showing up and looking more like a video clip, repeated 8 times and with a "torn edge" at the end. When I play the image, it only shows up a single time. I am not able to edit each frame individualy. The Ken Burns icon only appears in the upper left corner of the first image. I must have accidently changed a setting somehow, but don't remember doing this. While the quality doesn't seem to be affected, it is taking me much longer to go back through the images and crop/fit them.
I am using imovie '08 and would consider myself an extreme novice.

I should clarify, when I meant I can only edit the first image, I don't mean only the first image of the project, but rather the first image of the 8 repeats.
I should also add that the project didn't begin this way. I added enough images and then put the first song on. When I started adding the photos that would be shown as the next song played, that is when they showed up as repeats of 8 AND all the previous images did the same. That is why I am thinking I changed a setting when I added the music, but if I did, it was done accidentally and I can't seem to back track and find what I did.
