Modifying linked images

Hi all,
I'm making a booklet (in InDesign) that will have a few pages filled with collage-type visuals that I'm planning on making in PS. I'll be using a few low-res images that a photographer has given me but hasn't yet retouched, converted to high-res nor color profiled - but he will need to see my collages before being able to retouch them. I was wondering if there was a way to relink placed images in PS the way you can in Illustrator, but after rasterizing the images (since I'll be needing to lasso-cut into them to make the collage happen)?
Basically, what I'm doing right now is creating a canvas, placing two JPG images saved as TIF for testing, selecting "Edit Content" and cutting into them with the lasso, saving and switching back to my canvas. The modification is applied and correct, but when I select "Replace Content" and choose the same test file from its original source place (as I would do when the photog hands me over the retouched image), the relink removes the data I've just created and just inserts the full-sized image, thus destroying my "collage".
What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance.

Using CS5 but I doubt it's OS-related
Probably, the OS is irrelevent. But that's not definite. A given version of Ps on Windows and the same version on OS X have some different bugs. I don't understand why you didn't just type the requested information in as few words as it took to type "but I doubt it's OS-related".
Anyway, Photoshop does have problems with SO masks not transforming correctly when a SO is transformed. I thought your replacement images would have the same physical dimensions (inches) as the original and only differ in resolution (ppi), and therefore didn't realize that you'd be wanting to scale the SOs.
I suggest you resize each replacement image to the same physical dimensions as the corresponding original before doing the replacement.

  • 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>

  • 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

  • Adjusting frame to image - linked images

    hi, I have a bunch of images inserted in indesign, linked from an eps file. I have modified the images in illutrator and now updating links I have to modify the frames because the graphics are longer and they don't fit the image frame.
    I can go one by one and do "adjust frame to image" but, is there a way to do this automatically for all the links? There are actually all linked to the same image... please help!
    thank you

    Hi John,
    I have one image in each of 100 spreads, and it is not the only image in each spread. Is there a way to select them all? is it possible to do that from the links menu? they are all linked to the same image.
    thanks!

  • 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.

  • New Collection from links/images in current document - is this possible?

    Our team includes PC and Mac users.
    We have CS5.5 - InDesign v7.5.3
    I'm currently running Win7
    This might be a post for the Bridge forum, but since we want the workflow to begin with InDesign...
    I did try searching here, there, and within Exchange forums.
    What we'd like to be able to do is open a document in InDesign that has dozens of links, and by some magical autmotaed (or even manual) process, be able to create a collection - not a snippet - of the linked files.  I've tried several ways to get this to happen both from within ID and Bridge, no luck.
    Is there a way?
    Maybe a script?
    -Rick

    Thanks for the quick reply.  I don't want to package or export linked images using the "Copy Links to..." option from the links panel.  What either of those options would do would in fact create copies of the images. 
    Instead, I want to maintain their original locations, maintain links, etc..
    So, by the term "collection" in my question what I meant to say is a Bridge Collection (as seen in Bridge or in the Mini Bridge panel).  I want to generate such a collection from the items I choose that already are placed within an InDesign document.  I've attempted selecting from the Links Panel in ID, selecting from the document itself and dragging in to a pre-existing collection, but this seems to only result in an InDesign Snippet file.  I checked contextual menus and panel menus.  I also tried the drag operation with various modifier keys just hoping.    No luck.
    I'm thinking there should be a script or plugin for this... but alas have not found it.

  • Indd CS5.5 keeps asking to update modified links

    Indd CS5.5 keeps asking to update modified links when opening a document, when links have not been modified.. This happens a lot.
    Any guidance gratefully received.

    Hi John, thanks for your helpful suggestion.
    We've picked up on some small nuances in the last 24 hours. There are two of us here in the studio and the documents and links are saved on a shared drive.
    • When I open the document on my machine and update all the links, then close it and then open it again – without my colleague opening it – it doesn't ask to update the links.
    • However, if he opens it after I've opened it, it will ask to have it's links updated again. And if I open it after he has opened it, it again will ask to update the links.
    *Idea* could it be that one of the machine's clock settings are incorrect. ie. my colleague's new laptop?
    Screen grabs are attached below. The go in the order of before and after.
    The plot thickens: I have also loaded this software on to an iMac out side of the office; not connected to the server, just running on its own. I have some images on an external hard drive. I have exactly the same problem if I unplug it and re-plug it. When I re-plug it doesn't just simply find the links, it says they have been updated.
    Any more ideas would be appreciated.
    Best regards.

  • Modify Document Image on KM

    Good Morning
    I need modify the standard image of KM document rapresentation. I can see that the standard image are under folder:
    http://MY SERVER:50000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/etc/public/mimes/images/entrypoints
    I try to modify a image but the extension *.IMG isn't simple to manage...
    can I assign another image type to generical document LINK ???
    than You
    Stefano

    Hi Stefano,
    from your description ("the standard image of KM document rapresentation"), I would expect that you are looking for this GIF: /etc/public/mimes/images/unknown.gif ?!
    Under your given path /etc/public/mimes/images/entrypoints, there are the images used for displaying entry points. Do you really mean them?
    Even if, save the img images as GIF; at least Windows poor Paint is able to edit them. So GIFs saved as IMG should do it, too.
    Hope it helps

  • 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,

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Linked images do not load in my website

    Hi all,
    I built my website in Photoshop and Flash Catalyst. My site takes forever to load and my linked images do not load when they should. Can someone please help me with getting the load time down and loading the liked images. I linked them because I though that would cut down on the load time,  but when I click the thumbnail the images doesn't appear right away it takes a while. What am I doing wrong? I really need to get my portfolio up. Also how small should my swf file be right now it's at 8.79MB. I am a designer and new to Flash Catalyst so any suggestions will help. Thanks!
