Linking images/pictures

Please excuse the n00b question from this Flash Novice...
I am creating a flash file that has moving pictures on motion
tweens. I would like to have the pictures linked externally so that
if my client changes IMAGE1 in a particular folder, then the flash
file will use that new image instead of the old one - Is there any
way to do this?

I should explain this a little further ... I have a current
flash presentation using various tweens etc. There are six pictures
that make up the animation. I would like to keep the animation
intact with all timings, animations etc. What I need to be able to
do is to change any or all of the pictures and have the existing
flash file use those pictures without having to be recompiled
etc.

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.

How do linked images in .msgs work offline?

Hello,
I am completely new to Outlook (2013) so I'm confused about linked images in .msgs and how they work.
I want to build an offline email archive. Ideally it would be
in a widely used format
each mail or mail folder would be a single file (unlike html) to keep things simple.
Most importantly, each file would contain the full content of the original message, so I can view it properly even if I have no internet connection, or if the linked images are removed from their servers. Basically I'm hoping they will look like the way
they looked no matter what.
Outlook doesn't seem to do 3. I've read in other threads that 2003 and 2007 do this, but it doesn't say clearly whether it's because the images are really embedded in the msg file or is the file simply drawing from a temporary cache, and will revert to displaying
Xs as soon as the cache is cleared.
So my questions are:
Is it possible to embed all content within a msg for offline viewing
If not, what is 2003 and 2007 doing to make people think it can
If not, what are the reasons
I assume there are reasons for this, because otherwise it would just be weird for an email client that can save messages along with their text styling and attachments to not be able to save them the way they look.
Cheers,
Walt

Hi,
The default for Outlook 2013 is to link to the pictures instead of embedding them.
To let Outlook 2013 work as previous versions, we need to change the registry key as below.
Important
This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the
registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry,
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Back-up-the-registry
Press Win + R, type "regedit.exe" in the blank box, press Enter.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Options\Mail
Value name; Send Pictures With Document
Value: 1
With a value of 1, you’ll include the picture with the message instead of as a link.
I hope the information is helpful.

How do I turn off image/picture from Creative Zen display?

:How do I turn off image/picture/cover art from Creative Zen display?
I wouldn't mind it, but it's almost ALWAYS wrong! Why is that? It seems to pick a random - and I mean random - album cover every time I upload songs. WHAT makes it decide this? I have dance collection cover pics turning up for rock songs!
If someone an help me solve this problem, I don't mind having the images show up.
Thanks!

>Hi,
The album art is usually associated with an album artwork and is supplied together with the music tracks. The player will not display it if there isn't one. You might want to make sure that the album art is linked correctly to the music track.

Link Image Click with Image Preview

Use of Bridge with DW lacking. Too many clicks to see what an
image in site folder is. Multiply x 100s of images = tons of extra
clicks.
Link Image Click (in Site Folder > Local Files) with Auto
Image Preview in DW CS 4 -Please
Please hotlink selection: Bridge W/DW and DW with
Bridge

I have done everything described but nothing has helped. It has nothing to do with the Type Tool, but with the new rendering. It occurs every time I want to insert a picture into the text flow. There is no workaround and the whole feature is completely broken.
UPDATE: I have found out that it only occurs when I use the method via alt-clicking the anchor icon and dragging the cursor into the text. (Quick anchoring introduced in CS6) When I copy and paste the image frame into the text, it does not crash.

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.

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.

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

Outlook not seeing link images

Hello All and Happy Friday (the 13th buwahaha)
OK, issue
Outlook 2010 and 2013 (Exchange Accounts)
Users get emails html formatted. Outlook displays the red x with the message "The linked image cannot be displayed. The file may have been moved, renamed, or deleted. etc..."
However, OWA displays it properly, so do the phones.
This leads me to believe it is proxy related. Now my problem comes in with the knowledge that we are using a Cisco IronPort as our proxy, we don't even configure the browsers for it... Just catches it.
I've tried every fix I can find and none have resolved the issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
I actually found a kb about this issue:
Images in email message disply a "red x" instead of the image if the Cache value in the registry is incorrectly configured
This problem occurs if there is incorrect registry data for the Cache
value under the following registry key.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
Important
Follow the steps in this section carefully. Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Before you modify it,
back up the registry for restoration in
case problems occur.
To resolve this problem, use the following steps to manually edit the data for the Cache value in the registry.
Exit Outlook if it is running.
Start Registry Editor.
Windows 8
On the Desktop, press the Windows key + X and click
Run . Type regedit in the Open box, and then press ENTER
Windows 7 or Windows Vista
Click Start , type regedit in the Start Search
box, and then press ENTER.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click
Allow
Windows XP
Click Start , click Run , type regedit
, and then click OK.
Locate and then select the following key in the registry.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
Update the Cache value to the default value according to your version of Windows.
Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista
Name: Cache
Type: REG_EXPAND_SZ
Data: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files
Windows XP
Name: Cache
Type: REG_EXPAND_SZ
Data: %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
Close Registry Editor.

Translation from CS5 to Cloud doesn't work correct, navi and linked images are broken.

Translation from CS5 to Cloud doesn't work correct, <navi> and linked images are broken.
The data of CS5 was created at another PC. I installed Cloud version into two different PC. One has had the site data since dreamweaver CS5 and it works correct in Cloud version. Another PC got the site data from remote server and it doesn't work correct. <navi> and linked image are broken.

Another PC got the site data from remote server and it doesn't work correct. <navi> and linked image are broken.
This implies your site is not properly defined in DW. Go to Site > Manage Sites.
Or simply go to your other installation of DW and export the site definition file from Manage Sites.
Save it to a flash stick or other removable drive. Then import the STE file into your 2nd installation of DW.

How do you resize a image/picture and save it?

Hello, I know how to resize a image. But how do I save a new image/pictures has Jpeg with new size properties?

Use File>Save As or File>Save for web. Either of these will create a new document as long as the name is different or is in another folder.

Exporting linked images with overlays

Hi,
I'm using InDesign CS5.5 on OS X Lion.
I have linked images in my InDesign document that I want to export as JPG and maintain the original file naming scheme. That part is easy (export as HTML, look in the images folder; export as ePUB, look in the images folder of the archive; etc.). But what I'm struggling with is when there are overlays added in InDesign. Some examples of overlays: part labels (e.g., "a", "b", "c"), text labels, arrows, lines, etc. The only way I've found to export the overlays is to do this:
-Group the placed image and overlay items together
-Apply Object Export Options to the grouped item such that Custom Rasterization is checked
-Export via one of the options (e.g., HTML, ePUB)
I get one image per group, which is what I want. The problem is that the filename for that image is now a random number. What I really need is the filename for the original image to be used.
I've also tried exporting to other formats, e.g., PDF (and using the extract all image options) but that doesn't preserve the overlays in the extracted images (which makes sense since the PDF sees the letters as text).
I figure to do this I have to write a script. So before I embark on that quest, I was hoping to get opinions on whether a) such a script is possible and b) whether there is a better way. For specific workflow considerations, moving the adding of these overlays to the images outside of InDesign (e.g., via Photoshop) is not an option.
I envision a script that does the following:
-Set custom rasterization on every grouped object
-Export all grouped objects and other linked images as JPG (with certain settings)
-The exported images for the links would preserve the original filename (adding "_fmt" like InDD does now would be okay) and for the grouped items it would use the filename of the linked image that is part of the group (and fallback to a random number if there is no such image). In the case that the filename could not be specified, then embed the original filename of the linked image in the group
Obviously, if a script could also do the grouping of objects (e.g., finding a linked image, checking to see if there is anything on top of it, grouping it all together), then that would be even better, but I'm not holding my breath. :-)
Thanks,
Steve

This is where the Adobe DNG could shine.
http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/index.html
Worth the read ... this can save the changes that one
makes.
DNG does NOT help in this case.
There is a huge misunderstanding that this is part of what DNG can or should do.
But if you think about it, what good are the adjustments being stored in DNG if you have to use a particular program to open it anyway?
Think about Aperture's Edge Sharpen for a second. Lets say you store that value in a DNG. Fine, what other program is going to able to reproduce that result EXACTLY to how you were previewing it at 100% on your monitor?
Lighroom is trying to do something along these lines by passing editing commands off to Bridge through DNG. But here you run into another problem - it constrains what editing any one program can do. If Lightroom is limited to only ever having editing commands that are the same as what Bridge offers, and no other program on earth supports them, then what have you really accomplished? Will unknown editing commands simply be dropped without warning?
That's why I think simply exporting projects, which hold master images alongside sidecar files (very like XMP) that describe edits are about as good as you are going to get. If you want to truly preserve editing work and you care about quality, nothing beats a TIFF file where 100% of the pixels are exactly as you reviewed them during editing. I personally trust Aperture enough to back up master images along with edits, and am fine with that.

InDesign. Is it possible to flattern linked images?

Quick question..
Is it possible to flatten or merge linked images in InDesign, rather than package or preflight which would double up on the size of images stored on our system. Also to solve the problem if images were moved or deleted.
thanks
Charlotte

My typical workflow would not be working from a server. I find that server lags can crash indesign, and that's particularly bad if you're in the middle of saving a file.
What I find better here is to work on all files locally. When the job is finished it's packaged up to the server. Unfortunately the image data has to be included somewhere, whether as links or physically embedded in the file.
You need to figure out if you need to keep hi-res images of the files. What you can back up on the server etc.
Is it just the size that's an issue?
