Mult. Scan 15AV has "flattened" image

Our oldest Mac (PowerPC G3) running OS 8.1 has a Apple Multiple Scan 15AV Display and lately the screen image has "collapsed" into a horizontal line about a quarter inch thick. The squashed image still extends lengthwise across the screen. The video card would be whatever came with the computer.
Is this something that can be fixed or will the monitor have to be replaced?
thank you
PowerPC G3   Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier  

Sounds like a failure of the display's vertical deflection circuit. Sure, it can be fixed, typically at more cost than buying a new display. I would investigate free, hand-me-down displays from friends, or buying a decent new LCD display that you can use if you get a new computer.

  • Flatten image makes areas dull in final output.

    Hi,
    I've been trying to figure this out for the past day.  I have a multi-layered PSB file that I've used blending modes, adjustment layers, etc. in and I'm trying to flatten a copy in order to run a custom masking action on.  I've tried Save As: tif, jpg, png with same result.  Also I've tried Flatten Image, Merge Visible, Merge/Stamp Copy all with same result.
    On the left is the original.  On the right is the "flattened" image.  NOTICE the orange in the space suit as well as definition in the vertical lines in the background seem more dull in the flattened version.
    Does anyone have an idea of what I've done wrong or how to fix this issue?
    Thank you.

    Never heard of that before and that's not how PS is meant to work. Flattening an image doesn't change neither document's color profile nor the working space color profile in your Color settings. You can see the color profile of your document all the time if you select it from the drop down menu of the document's window here:
    Does the profile change before and after flattening? If your document is without a color profile (Untagged) then the colors will be displayed on your monitor using the color profile selected for working spaces in your Color settings which can be accessed from Edit>Color Settings (Shift + Ctrl + K). Is there any changes there before and after flattening?
    One thing that may change the appearance and I think hasn't been mentioned so far is if your artwork has transparency that reaches all the way through all layers to the bottom and you are not previewing your image with a fully opaque white layer at the bottom.

  • Flattening images in Acrobat X pro

    Hi everyone,
    I need to flatten some images in a pdf. It is a thirty page pdf and when printed all the images have transparent boxes around them. So far the only solution I know is to take each page into photoshop, flatten the image and reinsert the image back into the pdf. This of course is taking forever. I was wondering if Acrobat has any built in tools to take care of this kind of issue? I am using Acrobat X pro on Mac running 10.8.5.. I have tried using "preview transparent objects" tool  with the raster set to 100 and vectors to 0 but it didn't seem to make a differnce. Any help would be appreciated.

    What I was refering to by flattening is the "flatten image" function in Photoshop. As in the option directly below merge visable and merge down in the layers flyout menu. For some reason running that function or the rasterize function in the object menu in illustrator is the only way I can make sure transparecny boxs dont show up when I print through my Fiery Rip software. Like I mentioned this method works well with individual pages in multiple page pdfs, but I often have to do this for many images at a time. It would be nice to be able to do the same thing in Acrobat to the whole pdf all  at one time.( Of course what would really be nice would be if people would submitt their files correctly to avoid this problem in the first place but that is asking way to much) 

  • Epson scan under Lion with image capture

    The first scan I made with image capture at 150dpi appeared usable.
    However the letter scanned was no longer white but slightly green and pink and the file size was at 3,8Meg!
    A pdf at 150dpi for an A4          :          3,8M
    A jpg at 150dpi for an A4          :          549Kb
    A pdf at 96dpi for an A4           :          1,5M
    A jpg at 96dpi for an A4           :          209Kb
    With the Epson Scanner Software I had good rendering and an A4 page was around 100 and 200Kb in jpg or pdf.
    What’s going on! The new software caused a 1800% increase in the file size!
    I am stuck with my scanner and papers.
    The image correction is limited.
    The pdf files created are enormous.
    There is no way we want to work and start to store this files!
    A quick solution is needed to correct the situation.

    A bit of history taken from Wikipedia:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_%28software%29
    Rosetta is a dynamic binary translator for Mac OS X which allows many PowerPC applications to run on certain Intel-based Macintosh computers without modification. Apple released Rosetta in 2006 when it transitioned the Macintosh platform from the PowerPC to Intel processor microarchitecture. The name "Rosetta" is a reference to the Rosetta Stone, the discovery of which made it possible to comprehend and translate Egyptian hieroglyphs.
    Rosetta is based on QuickTransit technology.[1] It has no graphical user interface, which led Apple to describe Rosetta as "the most amazing software you'll never see."[2]
    Rosetta was initially included with Mac OS X v10.4.4 "Tiger", the version that was released with the first Intel-based Macintosh models.[3]
    Mac OS X v10.6 "Snow Leopard" does not include Rosetta by default but retains an option in the installer for the user to include it. It can also be automatically installed by the system if needed at a later time.
    Mac OS X v10.7 "Lion" neither includes nor supports Rosetta at all. Therefore, with Lion, the current Macintosh platform drops support for PowerPC applications.
    " WIKIPEDIA.
    The discs  wich came with a scan are mainlly PowerPC.
    Epson no more do Scan software, driver yes to be used by Image Capture or other.
    They are all the same, want to sell hardware not software.
    For me, To stay at a reasonable file size limit, I do clear choice between what will be B&W and color.
    In Image Capture : the Black and White can be treated directly in PDF, using:
    - Image correction :
         - Contrast to full
         - Brightness one step
    With color I have quite no choice, JPEG:
    - Image correction
         - Brightness +3
    After in a viewer I do a color autolevel.
    If I want it in PDF, save in PDF and finally apply a "in house" Filter from ColorSync Utility.
    I don't use the built in "reduce file size", it's too extrem and the results are very poor.

  • Adjusting a flattened image file

    Hello!
    Does anyone know an aswer to this question I´m pondering:
    If I go on adjusting a psd-file which has been flattened, will the file´s image quality go worse?
    Meaning that I´ve had a TIFF-file (made from a RAW-file) that I have adjusted with plenty of layers. After all the adjustments, I´ve made a copy of it, flattened the copied file, cropped it to the wanted size (no interpolation), and made some changes again with cloning tools and gaussian blur. But after this, I find I still have to make another version of the image with different adjustments of lightness (curves) and colors (color balance, saturation) and I´m pondering if I have to go back to the file with layers, or can I continue with the cropped file and make new adjustment layers on this flattened image. Would be better for the work flow and my nerves...
    Thank you for anyone who got energy to read this and maybe help me!

    If I go on adjusting a psd-file which has been flattened, will the file´s image quality go worse?
    Basically any Adjustment will be detrimental – but usually the deterioration with Adjustments that are not extreme is (close to) unnoticeable.
    Working in 16bit can help keep the detrimental effects smaller than when working with 8bit images.
    I´m pondering if I have to go back to the file with layers, or can I continue with the cropped file and make new adjustment layers on this flattened image.
    Do you get banding?
    It’s your image, so it’s up to you to decide if the image deterioration is so bad as to warrant starting over.
    Why did you not continue working with the layered file anyway?

  • Why does flattening image result in locked background?

    When I flatten an image, Photoshop automatically creates one background layer and locks it. How can I set Photoshop to default to NOT locking the background?

    Many Thanks to Welles Goodrich (his post wasn't showing up here when I typed this, for some reason) who said:
    "Presuming you don't have a background layer when you wish to 'flatten,' use the Layer > Merge Visible command rather than Flatten Image. A flattened image always has a background (locked) layer. Why? That's just the way it is. If you want to create a new image without a background layer choose Transparent from the "Background Contents:" menu from the New dialog."

  • What is the difference between merge down, merge visible, and flatten image?

    Hello, what is the difference between merge down, merge visible, and flatten image?

    Hi there,
      Merge Down combines the layer below the currently selected layer and the selected layer together into one singular layer. The layer name will change to the name of the layer below the selected layer. In the screenshot below, I chose to Merge Down from the layer "Circle Top". As you can see, afterward I have a new layer named "Circle Below" that has both layers combined.
      Merge Visible will merge all visible layers into one singular layer. Merge Visible will ignore any layer that has it's visibility toggled to "Off".  In the example below, I have 4 layers, with the layer "Circle Below"'s visibilty set to "Off". After I choose Merge Visible, all of the layers are combined excluding "Circle Below".
      Flatten Image will combine all of the layers into one "flattened" image or layer. You will be prompted to choose whether or not to discard hidden layers before doing so. If you choose "Ok" to discard hidden layers, Photoshop will ignore any layer with it's visibility toggled to "Off". If you choose "Cancel", Photoshop will cancel the flattening process. If you want the hidden layer included in the flattened image, you will have to toggle it's visibility to "On". The following screenshot is what a flattened image's layer pallete looks like:
      I hope this helps! If you need further clarification on this let me know! : )

  • My Built-in Webcam has my image in a horizontal split screen!

    My Built-in Webcam has my image in a horizontal split screen. How can I fix this???

    Let me explain more - when I use skype for example, my image is displayed in a horizontal split screen. I have tried another chat product and the same thing happens - so it must be something to do with the built in camera or configuration of the camera. Would it be best to contact Apple about this? Will somebody have to get a spanner out to fix my quite new macbook pro? (3 months old). I teach languages online so I really depend on a decent image. Can anybody help me?

  • Difference b/w scanning TEXT vs. IMAGES (or printing to pdf in PREVIEW)?

    I have my scanner set to 300 dpi Color TIFF.
    Is this giving me something different when I scan a text document or when I scan a series of images? Do these then get /converted/ in some way that I am not understanding when I print to pdf in PREVIEW? I run File > Print > Pulldown to pdf and SaveAs pdf. Does this do something to the images that it doesn't do to the text or vice-versa?
    I have pdf's that are from 100 MB to 900 MB and I am trying to downsize them with this set of "quartz filters" (whatever that is).
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1292868?start=0&tstart=0
    But doing this on a text pdf seems to work great and doing it on a pdf of scans of images (scanned with the same settings) doesn't reduce the file size?! I have a 33 page pdf of images and it is 66 GB in size and my email pipe is choking on it.
    TIA

    Hi Jason.
    Interesting about the jpg's not degrading much upon compression. For some reason I have moved to TIFF due to recommendations on quality (?) and to png due to recommendations on bandwidth (?).
    Also thanks for 150 px.
    For me it is a little hard to switch back and forth between image settings and b + w settings but I will start keeping an eye on line art settings for b + w. Thanks again.
    Is it possible anyone knows of a way to downsample a color pdf of images that are TIFF and 300 dpi or to downsample a black and white pdf that is in the same settings but is in Color Currently?
    I'm running some quartz filter reduction routines on my largest pdf's (500 MB?!) and in some cases dropping it down to the 150 Average Compression is totally trashing these files. I can't understand what is going on or whether it is only doing it to the images and /why/ it is doing this to the images.
    I mean, I'm getting ready to move these off my mac hard drive and onto a windows hard drive just to downsize them so I can move along...
    Thanks.

  • Splitting a Flattened Image into Layers so I can use the Paint Bucket to change colors

    I have what I think is a flattened image that is part of a Website template. (I'm assuming the image is flattened, because when I use the paint bucket to change the color, it colors the whole thing; and when I use the magic wand, the whole image is selected). I need to be able to use the paint bucket to change the colors. What do I have to do to make the image work that way? The image is made to look like you're looking left to right at four file folders. The folder labels are a different color. Is there some way to separate the folders (now in green), the folder labels (now in yellow), and the white background from each other, so I can apply the paint bucket to different layers later? I've worked on this for hours now, and can't seem to find the answer. I'll have to change the colors in the image at least 10 different times, so I was hoping I wouldn't have to resort to using the brush or pencil tools.

    Darlene,
    Another way is to use the Replace Color Tool. The Hue/Saturation method is probably easier, but I thought I'd mention Replace Color for your information.
    http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=18IBCKnJchzoxfLEaw7Bu93j9W5jS
    In my example I changed the 3rd label in your picture to red.
    1. Roughly select the label using the Lasso tools.
    2. Enchance>Adjust Color>Replace Color.
    3. Click on the label in the picture; it will appear in the box as white on black background. In general you would move the fuzziness slider until just the portion you wish to change appears white. In this case since the yellow is uniform with sharp border the fuzziness slider had minimal additional effect, but I did move it all the way right to capture the fringe pixels.
    4. Play with the 3 Transform sliders to get the desired result.
    In this next example I changed the top of the lighthouse from red to green (why I would want to do that, I don't know!).
    http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1XhqCAvgc0zVWReJDkUB2OLDQChSy
    Note that in this case I didn't have to move the fuzziness all the way right.

  • Activation error on Multi Provider which has Non-cumulative Cube

    Hi,
    My company has upgraded the BI 7.0 from 3.5.
    It is working fine so far.
    But I met the below message and could not activate it when I generate the multi provider which has Non-cumulative Cube.
    Define the characteristics of the validity table for non-cumulatives (Message no. R7846)
    And then I checked the Single cube but Single cube has no error.
    I think this is program error and searched the notes in OSS but could not find.
    Does any expert know this issue?
    Thank you.

    Hi lee,
    validity slice tables need to be defined for cubes using non cumulative key figures.
    In this we need to specify the characteristic combination on which this table has be maintained.
    The maintanence can be done from cube change mode, menu bar extras--> maintain non cumulative values.
    This table constantly gets updated with validity dates as we upload data.
    An report on this can be seen in tcode RSDV.

  • Pdf is it a flatten image?

    actually i got a file in pdf format for printing, when i send to the printer, i found that the FONTS, it is changed.
    i thought the file convert to pdf is become a flatten image, it wont be any error.
    Or any setting i set it wrong?
    Pls advise

    The PDF is a very complex format that is more then images and text it includes multimedia. With this amount of varied context the file is far from a flat image. Although, one could certainly have an image.
    You can select to use the system fonts or even select to print the PDF as an image.
