Making a checkerboard image

I use Elements 3. I would like to fill a 8.5 X 11 white canvas with 12 to 15 to 20 individual images, side by side, etc. (like on a checkerboard). Each of my images is approximately 3000 X 2000 pixels. Is there a good way (and a quicker way) to do this without dragging and dropping each image (file) individually? Though I'd like each image to end up to be the same size on the canvas, that is not at all essential.
Thanks,
Wendell

If you just want to print them, you could open the Organizer and try either a Contact Sheet or Picture Package under the Print command. You may not have the level of control on image placement that you would like. Might be worth a quick try and check if the preview screen will give you your desired result.

Lightroom 3.0 exports show up as checkerboard image not photo

I have used LR successfully for 6 months. Then yesterday, when I export an image and go to access it, the image that appears is not a photo, but a blurry checkerboard image with hints of the color of the photo. Ironically, all of the previously exported photos are just fine. I have tried updating LR and triple checking my settings and the same thing.
Any thoughts?
Help! Just in time for Christmas, too. Ugh.

léonie was able to help me with her (german) anwer in this thread: RAW Dateien nicht unterstütztes Bildformat
The solution was to remove and re-install the RAW support from Apple.
The solution was to
remove "RawCamera.bundle" and "RawCameraSupport.bundle" from the /System/Library/Coreservices Folder
(In Terminal.app: "cd /System/Library/CoreServices/", "sudo rm -r *Raw*" (WARNING, THIS REMOVES THE FILES INSTANTLY!))
Reboot the system
Re-Download the Raw Compatibility update 5.06 form Apple Support: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1757 and install it
Restart Aperture, reprocess the affected files and order the photo book.

Illustrator: Pixelisation when making my Logo Image Smaller

Hi There,
I am a hardcore Photoshop nut lol but I have recently approached learning how to use 'AI' to create my company Logo so that It can be Vector based and therefore Re-size it according to web and print as needed.
You've proberly encountered this problem lots of times and i'm proberly being really silly, but I am having major problems re-sizing and it, causing pixelization on my Image, esp when going to 'Save for web and Devices'.
I did have 'drop down shadow effects' on the Logo but I believe I have deleted all of that in Appearences, Incase it is the raster effects causing the problems... but even back at its seamingly basics, I'm still having the same problems.
I tried making the Image smaller using the 'scale' & 'transform' tool before taking it into 'Save for Web and Devices' and even on my artboard it now looks pixelated..
My Artboard size is 1200 x 1200 and in 'Save for Web and Devices' it says the Original Image size is 800 x 600 (which I believe is the size of the document I chose when starting my project)...
I tried Playing with the PPI in the 'Document Raster Effects' settings, this doesn't seem to be making a difference.. Infact I'm sure playing with all the settings has almost caused my edges already to not be as sharp in view: 100% (RGB/Overprint preview) as they once were and I don't think I have the original document to go back too, due to thinking the Logo was fine, before relizing I had a problem in resizing & saving.
I have tried all of the save options in 'Save for Web and Devices' but still the Image looks pixelised, even when ignoring previewer and going ahead to re-opening the saved Image.
I'm using Adobe Illustrator CS3 if that's any help..
Any help anyone can give me, Id be very greatfull, I've spent hours trawling the web tirelessly without any result and after being so happy with the Logo, it would be such a shame to have to delete it and try and start all over again either in Illustrater or back in Photoshop (where I know the quality won't be as good)..
A massive Thanks to anyone who can help with this..

It was fine, some of the rounded Images are a little jagged now, after fiddling with all the settings so much.. but I can live with a little discretion... but I'm going that low for my Tumblr avatar

Encoding process isn't working properly while making the disk image (or DVD)in my iDVD program. Is there a remedy for this?

I've used Old Toad's suggestion and made a disk image first because the DVDs I've tried to produce show a few pictures in playback and then go white. The slideshow works fine in the iDVD program, and in the initial rendering stage all seems o.k. until the encoding step. Then, it processes 4 or 5 pictures, then goes blank but the music continues to be processed. Is there a remedy for this (I know Apple has ditched the program and the optical drives.) I deleted the project and tried making it over from scratch, but no luck.

I am simply lookig for some help not an argument. I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts. I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another. As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP. This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue. I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion. In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues. I am able to browse the internet as much as I want. I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems? Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best? BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time. Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. -- Thanks

Tip - making and sharing Image Presets

Someone over on Aperture Professional was asking why Aperture doesn't have image presets you can download like you can for LightRoom.
So, here's a quick guide to making image presets which can be shared with other people.
Setting up:
1. Make a new Project, call it 'presets' or similar.
2. Find a fairly normal/average image which looks OK without any adjustments applied.
3. Copy it to the new Project.
4. Make multiple Versions from your standard image.
5. Go to each Version, and apply a series of adjustments for a particular look such as tweaked contrast, cross-processing, high-key, B&W conversions etc.
6. Give each Version an appropriate name.
7. If you make lots of presets, start sub-dividing them into Albums as needed.
Set-up is done.
Usage:
1. Click on the Project or Album you are working on.
2. Option/Alt-click on the presets Project so that it opens up in a second browser pane. You may want to drag the divider over so that the presets Project doesn't take up much screen room.
You now have a series of preset Version thumbnails visible, applying them to your working images is a standard lift-n-stamp away.
you can also share the presets by exporting the Project, which won't be much larger than the Master image that is in it (assuming you've turned off Preview generation for the Project). To make it even smaller, use a referenced Master and don't consolidate it when exporting the Project, but note that people won't be able to add their own presets to the Project.
I'll probably set up some of my own over the next couple of weeks and upload the resulting Project for people to carry on adding their own presets.

I have been looking for develop presets in Aperture like those in LR, e.g. Direct Positive (see below), and so on.

How to stop mkinitcpio from making a fallback image [solved]

I have never needed to boot to my fallback kernel image so I am wondering how to stop mkinitcpio from making one.
Last edited by maggie (2015-05-28 14:55:55)

I have never needed my car's airbags, but that doesn't mean I want to remove them.
If you are determined, you could take a look at /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset.
(edit) You could probably have figured this out for yourself. I just looked it up in the wiki. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mk … figuration

Canceled making a new image in Disk Utility, lost hard drive space

Hi,
I was creating a new image (12 gigs) and during the process of creating it, the bar was no longer moving (for over an hour) so i canceled the process (it got a about 1/4 of the way through). But now it seems I missing about 3 gigs of space on my hard drive. It seems when it got canceled, it didnt remove it all the way. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

I restarted the computer, and it did not change. I ran all the terminal commands on that website, but nothing fishy came up. After i ran the disk usage command (sudo du -cxhd 1 /) it totalled up to 51 gigs of data. I have an 80 gig HD (79.68gigs) which should leave 29 gigs available. Finder says i have 24.17 gigs available, so I am missing some. maybe this is virtual memory being used? It seems like it happened after the image though. Thanks

Making sure attached images and signatures appear in the body of sent email

The subject line says it all. I would like recipients of my mail to see the attachment/image or signature, within the body of the email where I have placed it.....or not if I so choose. Is this possible to control from the sender's end?....or is this also influenced by the receiver's mail settings and platform?
I know there are many posts that dance around this issue, but I have not found one that nails it. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
PowerBook 17" & G4 Quicksilver desktop Mac OS X (10.3.9) Mail 1.3.11

The Mail.app displays all image/photo and single page PDF documents inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default. Depending on the recipient's email client and available preference settings, such attachments may appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default when the message is opened (as with the Mail.app) or as attached files only for which the sender has no control over.
If the recipient's email client is not the Mail.app but displays image/photo attachments inline or viewed in place, the attachments may not appear exactly where you placed them.
The only way to do what you want or get as close as possible is by using HTML formatting with embedded images and/or objects and no Mail.app version includes an HTML composer/editor.
RTF with Tiger Mail is HTML which allows for forwarding a message received that was composed in HTML keeping all intact. With Tiger, you can use the HTML editor/composer of choice with embedded images/objects, etc. and save the completed document.
Open the saved HTML document with Safari and at the Safari menu bar, go to File and select Mail Contents of This Page. A new Mail.app message will be launched and the HTML document viewed with Safari will be copied to the message which will be sent in its entirety.
You cannot do this with Jaguar or Panther Mail.

Making an Upload image feature

I’m designing a flash website and I want a feature whereby the user can upload an image and it gets sent to an email at the press of a button. What is the easiest way for this to be done?
Thanks in advance!

you'll need to find someone to do this for you or you'll need to advance your skill beyond beginner because this is an intermediate-level task.
you can start by using google to search for: flash <your actionscript version> upload file tutorial
then once you've mastered that, search for: <your server-side scripting language> email attachment tutorial

Disk Utility problems/making a good image file problems

Hi,
I am trying to make a disk image with Disk Utility. But every time when I run the program, it gathers disk info for a long time and then shuts down in unexpected error. What can be the problem here?
The reason that I want to make a disk image of my cd is this, maybe someone knows a solution for this problem well.
I have the original game cd of Alone in the Dark 1. I played this always on my pc in the past and now, with the help of a program called Boxer that allows to run dos games on the mac, it can run on my mac, but, the music cannot be found. According to the makers of Boxer this is because the music on the cd is separated from the rest of the data as audio tracks. I'm not a programmer so I don't understand everything behind this, but they advised me to make image file of the cd, mount it and then run Boxer with this mounted file.
I cannot do this however, because Toast doesn't make a good image file that includes the audio tracks and Disk Utility is shutting down with an error all the time. Maybe someone knows another solution?
Best wishes,
André

Maybe, but this cd if from 1992, did they do that already those days? However, I can make with Toast an image from the game, but the soundtracks are not included then. I can listen to the tracks in Itunes, they are visible like a normal audio cd. My only wish... is to play the games. Visiting the past, so to speak. And I can not play it on Windows, because it is not supported anymore after dos left the stage and I tried so many bootdisks on my pc, nothing works. Boxer therefore was a good help. The music though brings live to the game...

Making a 300 image "movie"

My project is to make a DVD containing 300+ still images (from a digital camera) with timed music with 4 chapters. I'm using iMovie 09 and iDVD 09. I know iDVD can do slide shows but I have too many stills. I authored the show in iMovie 09 but when I get near 100 stills (with transitions, Ken Burns & other effects) in the project, iMovie gets a little unstable, slows down and sometimes crashes from writing too many "commands" to the "assembly file" (for lack of better words). So I make 4 separate iMovies and it stays very stable. I want the entire show to "play all" AND want to be able to pick the 4 chapters from a DVD sub-menu.
If I "share" the iMovies to "large media browser", I can import them into iDVD but it won't play all 4 in sequence as one show. I can drop each iMovie into a 4 cell iDVD "slide show" and they can play fine but I have no chapters and no ability to "PAUSE" or "FAST FORWARD". The image quality is great going from iMovie - share to (large) browser - import to DVD - and author using "High Quality" setting for the 70 minute show.
So to get chapters, I exported the 4 individual iMovies to a QT container using AIC (960x540). Then I re-import them into a new iMovie project, place them in sequence and place my chapter markers. ( I don't own QT Pro.) This will "sew them together" to one big movie with markers. Then send it direct to new iDVD project, set up my chapter sub-menu and burn a disc. The image quality is much degraded and noticeably poorer when the DVD is played. I tried exporting the 4 mini-movies using H.264 "Best Quality" codec and I get the same thing - poor image quality. .dv export wouldn't be any better, I'm thinking.
Took weeks to make the 4 individual iMovies, so I can't start over in iMovie (HD) 06, which I still own.
What am I doing wrong? I thought exporting and re-importing would be close to "loss free". Would you suggest doing my "sewing" and chapter marking in iMovie 06 and send it to iDVD from there? Does iMovie 09 drop alternate scans when exporting to QT?
Again, sending one of the mini-movies to media browser for iDVD and the images look great even when I use "Best Performance" instead of "High Quality". Export and re-import in iMovie 09 and it looks "crummy" (technical term for an expletive). Also noticed a little drop in audio volume in the movie compared to the menu music volume. Is this an expected result of my double path process?
TIA for your expert suggestion of how to do this. Thanks

.. QUESTION: When does iMovie 09 drop alternate scan lines? At ALL exporting? (Even to QT?)
it drops..
• NOT on import = all clips in Events contain 100% quality, whatever you do in Projects..
• NOT if you use speed, dissolve or fade ONLY in a Project
• ALLWAYS, if you use any OTHER 'effect' (e.g. page curl, a map, a background, any title), on ANY clip in the Project.. therefor on any export setting
the intended workflow is, you shouldn't export manually, but Share to MediaBrowser (=which creates a 540/h264file.. ), which appears in the Media/iM tab in iDVD.. you've tried that way?
did I mention my suade .. ?
consider:
• iDVD creates videoDVD, which has - by standards - 720x480.. a fraction of your original pics and what your Mac's screen offer..
• watching such a disk on a computer or HiDef-flatscreen in 'fullscreen mode' means, each pixel gets zoomed by some factor of up to 4 .. => 'blocky', pixelated look.
• for finally judging pic quality, you should use a 'tube'/CRT TV ..

Making a scrolling image gallery?

What am I missing?

Odd things after making a Disk Image

Hello All,
I'm a admin for a large group of Mac's. When I did my last hardware upgrade we deployed 10.3 and I built a master computer with all apps and sys prefs configured for our group of users. I then took that computer and made it my master and used Disk Utility to make a disk image of that pre-configured computer on a firewire drive and distribute the image to all new hardware that came in. It all worked well and I had no problems.
All users have been upgraded now to 10.4. I went to build a new image from scratch from a 10.4 install disk, did everything just like the first time around, with one problem. When I boot from the Firewire drive and use Disk Utility to restore the image back to a new computer and restart on the HD I see more than I should.
I see the links to etc, var, usr out on the root of the HD as links. Anyone can just double click on them and go right into any of these folders. A friend of mine said that in 10.3 their was a file called .hidden, that was a list of these links that were invisible, but it is no longer in 10.4. Does anyone know why this happened and how to fix this problem?
Any help would be great. Thanks
John

Known issue. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301677 for details.

Making a transparent image

Hi Everyone,
I created a text in Photoshop cs and am trying to superimpose that over a video in FCE 4, how can I make the text background transparent so I don't have to mess with key adjustments in FCE 4?
Thank you

Hi(Bonjour)!
Start from a new document in Photoshop with a transparent background.
Design your title and save in PNG image format (interlaced or not).
This specific format preserve transparency.

Making Roll over images from photoshop layout

Hello Everyone,
I am working on a website and I have sliced my parts of my Photoshop file.
I have saved as a html with images as well!
How would I amek a roll over image out of the buttons I made in photoshop and sliced?

Best thing you can do is delete that HTML file from Photoshop and use the slices and build the code in Dreamweaver. You will be much better off.
The simplest solution is to save the 2 states of your button as 2 separate images then click on Insert->Image Objects->Rollover Image. Then select your before and after image. Just remember to upload the javascript file Dreamweaver creates during this process or it won't work online.
