Mirror a picture in InDesign

I have tried to make a mirror picture in InDesign, but have some small problems.
If you see in the attached image, I have taken a copy and pased it and flip.
On the picture it is a original i scanned, and the other is mine, how do I make it simular?
The corner of the box don't start as on the original.
Thanks to all replys...

Yes, its a boiler, you have right. We only fresh up the catalogue of our products and the
pictures look better in that way. I see your point, but all the products in that catalogue is already big and
not so interesting from the begining. I think this will be good in a catalogue.
If you see this attached file I have tried to do some mirror, will take it little more down on the opacity.

Why do the colors appear different from photoshop when I place a picture in indesign?

I am new to indesign, and photoshop for that matter. But when I place a picture in indesign the color looks completely different from what it was in photoshop. Is this just a display issue or will it print with the wrong color?

You have a profile mismatch. Make sure the document and PS file's assigned profiles match. If you are not assigning color profiles then the Working Spaces in Color Settings have to match.

Embedded .tif-pictures in InDesign 5...

Hello
A colleague sent me an InDesign CS5 file with a lot of embedded .tif-pictures. I wanted to open this file
with my InDesign 5.5 but there was always the error message: missing the link with .tif-pictures.
My colleague wrote:
"because this
file is quite old and used older versions of InDesign originally it
seems to have embedded the .tiff files - so I don't have them on my
computer. It seems your version of InDesign is not supporting the
embedded files. I'm not sure how to export them from the file, and to completely
re-create them as .eps would take a long time. I'm not sure what to do
about this.
What could we do?
Is it possible that my colleague export these .tif-pictures somehow? If yes, how?
Thanks for all answers!

Your friend should use the LInks panel. He/she should select each embedded file (it will show the embed icon) and choose Unembed Link. They will be prompted to relink to the original (which they say they don't have) or create a folder to put them in.
If that does not work, the embedded images have become corrupt and are no longer readable by InDesign.

Unable to add picture to Indesign file: error the file is already open.

I am hoping that someone may have an answer for my question as I can't seem to find a solution anywhere else.
The Setup:
We have a primarly windows network with windows servers and network shares. (Yes all the shares are NTFS formated)
We have six Desktop MACs OS X 10.5.4 added to this network and the MACs have loaded on them the complete Adobe CS4 suite.
The problem:
The issue happens when one of our users is attempting to drop a PSD file into an opened Indesign file.
They user opens the Indesign file first from the network share in folder1, the user the goes to folder2 and attempts to drag and drop a PSD into the Indesign file they get the error the file is already open.
So my first question what would be the most likly cause of this error?
Second question is we also have a program called AdmitMac loaded on the MACs for authenication with the servers.
Could this be interfering in anyway? AdmitMac uses Kerberos authenication, do the Adobe program recognise this Authenication type?

grmg,
There is nothing wrong with the ID file or the PSD file. If the user moves both files to their desktop the drag-n-drop function works just fine.
Even if just one of the files is on the desktop and the other on the network the drag-n-drop works fine.
The issue is when both files are on the network server, that is when we get the error.
Also it doesn't seem to matter what the file type is, the same thing occurs, if both files are on the Windows Server we get the "File already open" error
The Artist just need to make links in ID to the picture files until the final revision.
(We would perfer to keep the files on the server for backup purposes. In the past we have had one to many contractors come in to do work and they do everything on the desktop and when they leave they sometimes delete their desktop. As such the files never gets backed up.)
I need to know what tweak, change or update I can apply so that both files can be on the server and the Drag-n-Drop function still works.
thanks for the reply.

Invert pictures in Aperture 2 (mirror function)

Hello,
apple has not implement the funktion to invert photographs with Aperture (mirror function). Because of my work, I often have to take photographs over a intraoral mirror. When importing these photographs on my iMac using Aperture they are all inverted.
How can I "mirror" this pictures without exporting them to an other programm? May be there is an plugin for aperture 2?
Thanks for every idea and best regards from europe/switzerland,
da_re

Sorry, I don`t get the point out of your question: Do you mean, that I have to report a feedback to apple about my problem? If so, I did`nt done anything like this. I think they don`t like this mirror feature. In iPhoto it is missing, too.
I`ve thougt maybe someone else found a solution for inverting pictures. I mean even preview can handle this. Why not aperture?

Pictures resolution in InDesign

So I am not talking about resampling images in InDesign. But I have a question related to the resolution of pictures as InDesign sees it.
I have some photos in JPEG format I want to use in InDesign, not scaled, not anything. All same dimension (pixel resolution). 300 dpi. But one of them, even tough is having the same resolution, it has in the header 72 DPI setup. And InDesign, uses that information and places the pixelated image, scaled up.
The only solution I have found is open the respective JPEG, change its info resolution without resampling pixels, saving as TIFF and import it back in InDesing. Is there not something that would help me explaining InDesign to ignore the 72 DPI seting from the photo?
Thanks,
Romulus

Agreed, but basically I have two options:
a) scale by hand to attain 300 ppi
b) fireup PS to change resolution without resampling
I tought there's a way to shortcut any of these, by scaling without resampling somehow to obtain desired 300 ppi.

Pictures lose color indesign

When i import pictures to Indesign the pictures lose color and brightness. In photoshop the pictures look fine.

What Color Space is the image (the ICC profile) and what are the profiles of the indd?
Will the Indesign layout ultimately be printed in CMYK?

Can I Open Indesign File In CorelDraw Without Losing The Applied Effects?

i have been using Indesign for quite some time now and i have considerable experience in Corel too. My problem is that if i export an indesign file as PDF and then open it in CorelDraw, the file loses the effects i applied.
For example i apply blur effect on a picture in Indesign and after exporting it as a PDF, i open it in CorelDraw, the file would lose the Blur effect i applied.
I am confused how to retain the effects i applied in Indesign so that it shows up in Corel as well.I DO NOT wish to edit the file in Corel because the file would be transferred for printing purpose only.
Thanks in advance

Adobe and Corel products handle effects (like blur, or dropshadow, or even gradients) completely differently from each other. The only chance of having them move from one to the other is to rasterize any such effects before making the PDF (DO NOT save this over your original file!).
Note that I said it's a chance. Even these will be mishandled from time to time.
Good luck.

Airplay doesn't fit screen! (pictures included)

I've just installed a new 1080p projector and connected my iPad 3 to it.
When using Apples standard VGA Adapter the iPad fills the whole screen on the projector, see picture: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mqhpyrfv6d7omgn/VGA.JPG
But when im connecting an Apple TV 3 and using screen mirroring via Airplay, the picture gets smaller, see picture: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wbxfbo4cxgbp4me/ATV.JPG
I can't find any reasonable explanation to why this happens, so I'm asking here. Is there any solution?
Thanks!

I have a good LG, a cheap Goodmans a Sharp and another at work which I'm not sure about, all that I use regularly and others less regularly. Some are connected using 720p and some 1080p.
its not really possible to answer your 'does it fit 100%, pixel for pixel' question, because TV's don't work the way you think they might do. TV's do something called overscan, which results in the picture being displayed bigger than the screen, so a small portion at the edge of the picture is cropped away. All TV's do this to a greater or lesser extent. Whilst I am therefore unable to see the edge of my picture I can in all cases confirm that my mirrored iPad picture is cropped.
Because, this might hide something you don't want it to on an iPad screen, unlike a movie where it doesn't matter, Apple have added a setting to correct for overscan. This setting basically shrinks the picture by a set amount. Because each TV set overscans differently, the amount the picture appears to shrink and the size of the black border introduced by this varies from TV to TV. Apple have likely corrected based on the worst cases of overscan. I can confirm that when I turn this setting on when using my iPad that I get a different amount of border on each TV.
if you are able to adjust how the iPad looks on your TV using your TV settings, it's the TV that is complicated not the Apple TV, the Apple TV has 2 related settings only.
so far as I am aware the iPad sends a 720p picture to the Apple TV, but this doesn't really matter, since whatever resolution is sent to the Apple TV, the Apple TV scales it to the resolution it is set to output.

Alt-text in InDesign

I am creating a master file in InDesign which will ultimately be published as EPUB and Accessible PDF.
I watched training videos and learned about the Adobe Bridge. I entered all my Alt-Text in Bridge.
When I brought it into InDesign, I can see it in the XML-Description field in InDesign, but when I extract to EPUB or Accessible PDF, the Alt-Text is not carried through. If I enter Alt-Text in InDesign, it does carry on through.
Is it something we are doing to the pictures in InDesign that is inhibiting the carry-through of the alt-text from Bridge? If we use a Frame or resize the picture, does that interfere?
Thank you much,
Joyce

InDesign shows "hidden" Illustrator art at edge of AI artboard

I draw big sets of maps in Illustrator to be part of an InDesign book layout. The maps are vector art. On a top layer, we draw the map's frame or neatline. The artboard of the Illustrator art extends past the frame (in case we need to quickly shift or rescale the map within the frame). So we manually mask the area beyond the frame with white boxes (on the next-to-top layer below the frame). These masks are plain old vector art, white fill (0,0,0,0); no stroke; 100% opaque, and not set to overprint.
The book designer placed the finished maps in InDesign using plain picture boxes slightly larger than each map.
For several recent projects the designer reports that when the maps' artboard falls inside the picture box, InDesign displays "ghost image" right where the edge of the artboard would be. It's a little strip of the art right along the artboard, that is supposed to be masked by our white boxes. It's the same color and position, about 1 pixel wide.
We don't know what causes this; we don't know if it's real (it shows up in proof PDFs). We sure don't want it to print. Printers don't like to see it on our proofs.
We are not sure of the cause or solution. It happens on my InDesign too.
Searching old forum posts from 2009 or so, there are threads on ghost white or black lines in PDFs, often with raster art. But we haven't found any discussions of exactly this problem with vector art.
Also, when we export as Illustrator art with PDF compatibility, we apparently have no choice in what flavor of PDF the art is compatible (whereas some of the old threads' solutions, saving as PDFs, it was useful to chose PDF X-1a or something newer than 2004). So some of the "solutions" on those old threads don't apply here.
On our end (in Illustrator) there are a couple unpalatable workarounds. We can mask the Illustrator art (Object/Create Mask) with a rectangle exactly fit the map frame, but we lose all the layers that are useful for future edits. [FreeHand remembered layers of masked art, Illustrator discards them]. We can retain some flexibility by grouping several layers at a time (land, parks and water; roads and trails; type can stay loose on top layers). In our current book, the frame is a rectangle with "rounded corners effect" which doesn't apply to Illustrator masks, so we have to expand the copied frame into a plain graphic with curve handles. For 69 maps, that means 69 or 138 masks. I'd rather not have to do a workaround for something that simply shouldn't happen!
The most promising workaround seems to be: consistently make the Illustrator artboard much bigger than the InDesign picture box, so the edge of the artboard never falls within the picture box. This the designer and I can work on together. Again, though, InDesign shouldn't display art that is legitimately hidden.
Anybody have any ideas? Thanks for your assistance!
P.S. In Apple Safari, why does this dialogue box show white type on a white background? Trying again in Firefox. Apologies for multiple posts.

Depending on which program is used to open the file here's what I get
Open with AICS3, It tells me that an new version was used but it will open. Everything is a single color (576) but in preview mode there is a clipping mask around the letter that is the wrong color.
Open in AICS4, There is no clipping mask, everything is one color (576)
Open in Acro 8 and 9, The file is two color with the odd colored letter
Do you have the original AI file to look at?

Exporting an indesign document as a jpeg

I've created a poster-sized document, including pictures, in InDesign. In order to have it printed I need to make it a JPEG. When I export it as a jpeg it changes it to 72 dpi, so it would look horrible printed. I know there's something I'm missing here. Can anyone help?

CS3 adds support for resolution but it's still not the best way to
create a JPG.
Export a hi res PDF and then open that in Photoshop. It will give you
far greater control.
