Muse Lightbox slideshow: Hero images are undersize & cropped, can't select to change them

Mac, Mavericks, & Muse: First website: Building Lightbox slideshow. When a thumbnail is clicked in Preview mode, Hero image is undersized and cropped (placed jpgs are max 600 pixels x smaller). Back in Design mode, I can't select the Hero to resize it. Both  thumbnails and Hero images are set to Fit Content Proportionally.
Any help greatly appreciated!, Thanks!

I've had a similar-ish issue to you, minus cropping. Two key things:
1) To edit the position or size of the hero image double-click it
2) If the original image is smaller or larger or differently sized than the target Hero frame this (above) will happen. What I did was to
     scale the frame for the Hero image to the intended area, then get the dimensions of that area using a rectangle. Copy the vaues to make a new Photoshop document and
     manually import the images individually and save the resulting JPEGs which will have the additional space around the image to fill it for the Hero (ideally scale the image to fill the target space by losing any necessary empty space).
Essentially the original images you're using must be the same as the resulting frame which is no good if they're all different sizes. Yeah, it's a pain.
Hope this helps. Look at my website homepage as an example: http://www.goodwinsanimations.com/

    Hi
    You can select the Hero Image and from Hyperlink drop down you can link the image, so that when users click on image will be redirected to link that you setup in Muse.
    Thanks,

  • I cut photos from folder and exit iPhoto. When I return, the photos are back. how can I get rid of them?

    How can I get rid of unwanted photos.  As I'm going along removing pictures, they seem to be gone.  When I return to iPhoto, they are back.

    The original images are in your Library section - (events and photos).  In order to delete them permanently, you need to select the image, and drag it to the trash in the left hand column of iPhoto, or go to "photos / move to trash".
    This puts them in the iPhoto trash, and they are still not gone.  To delete them completely, you must select trash in the left, then select to empty iPhoto trash.
    All images you see in albums, or slideshow, are just short cuts back to the originals, in the events and photos sections.  If you delete them from albums, they are still in the library section.

  • HT4623 I updated my Iphone 4 and all my contacts are gone, what can I do to restore them?

    I updated my IPhone 4 and now my contacts are gone.  What can I do to retore them?

    Snowbound
    The tab that Roaminggnome is talking about is your "Info" tab.  As you can see my contacts and calendars on my iPhone are being synced through iCloud.
    I also regularly take an export copy of my contacts and save it separately.  This doesn't help you now but it may help you on a go-forward basis.

  • Canon CR2 raw images are forcibly cropped by Camera Raw

    I posted this on the Photoshop Discussion as I did not realise that Camera Raw has its own - sorry folks!
    Camera raw is cropping my cr2 images even after I have removed the crop in DPP (Digital Photo Professional - Canon's own raw editing software). I have many images cropped by a Canon 5D3 as it forces a 16:9 crop when you take a still while in video mode. The rest of the data is in the raw file, but this is not read by Camera Raw which forces the 16:9 crop. I have removed the crops in DPP, and even re-cropped with a different crop, saved the files and used every way I can imagine to get them into PS short of turning them into tiffs. I do not want to save as a tiff, as I really like the tools in PS Raw, especially the exposure tool (I am no great photographer but I have some very special and irreplaceable pics form fieldwork overseas which are ahem errr not quite correctly exposed).
    My ideal worflow is open folder in DPP - star rate the pics I want to work on. crop them (nice to do this in DPP as it is part of the selection process) then get them into Camera Raw without any more effort, then if an image can be tweaked - do it as a Raw, if it needs more work - get it into PS6 as a tiff and go from there. This seems to minimise effort and minimise file space, at the expense of having two different file types.
    Does anyone else work like this, or is there a better way to review 300 similar pics and get the best selected and processed? Has anyone else encounteres this refusal of Camera Raw to ignore the camera's crop? I bleive that there is a plug-in for lightroom, does anyone know a work around for PS  - I have PS6 with raw 7.3.
    Thanks
    Gor

    Oh can I, thanks . I couldn't see a way to open a tiff in ACR - It only opens when I drag a Raw image into ps6, and it has no file>open to allow me to open a tiff.  In fact it is a rather strange piece of software - it doesn't seem to exist on its own (not as part of production suite anyway).
    This would be a work-around for sure if you could tell me how to do it??
    UPDATE
    FOr anyone else with this problem you can force ps6 to open all tiffs in ACR with a setting in preferences in RAW - automatically open all tiffs. It is still a bit of a pain as i dont really want to automatically open them all, but hey!

  • Slideshow gallery - images come in cropped

    My images keep coming in cropped when I import them into a slideshow gallery. How can I avoid this?

    Even when I edited the mask by using the "edit mask" slider, I wasn't able to get the entire image into view. These images were coming in from Illustrator, with transparent backgrounds. When I added a plain white box behind each image, I was able to pull the entire image in without the cropping effect. Still, I'd like to be able to get images into the widget without having to do this extra step!

  • How do i set my movie to run 4 minutes total? all images are in but it wont let me change time. Goes from 5 seconds straight to 1 minute each?

    Imovie how do i set the images so that the entire thing hits 4 minutes in length? Ken Burns wont stay disallow Black either? such a pain in the .....Help!

    One way to allow you to set the duration of the pictures to a shorter length is to go to iMovie Menu > Preferences > Check the box titled: Display time as HH:MM:SS:Frames
    This usually will free up the Duration slider and let you set the pictures to exact length you need. And I'm sorry but I'm not quite familiar with disallow black for the Ken Burns effect. Are you trying to get a Black background to appear in the course of the video clip.

  • Photoshop CS3, wanting to batch re-size JPGs, going: file-scripts-image processor, the batch images are greyed out can't be highlighted

    Hi - I am trying to batch re-size JPGs in CS3.  I go: file-scripts-image processor and select a batch of JPGs but these are greyed out and can't be highlighted, therefore can't be re-sized. This function worked in the past and suddenly does not. Reading forums on this topic I find I should remove/trash 'Photoshop Preferences'. But I am struggling to find Photoshop Preferences. Really would appreciate simple instructions written for the layman not a computer savvy individual, on how/where to locate these, please. Many thanks.

    A few things to try.
    1)Since jpg's are finiky with bit modes, make sure your mode is in 8-bits per channel only. (found in the image>mode menu)
    2)you could try resetting the preferences by using the 3 modifier keys at startup. ctrl-alt-shift(windows) cmd-opt-shift(mac) Hold these three keys down when you start photoshop if done right when photoshop starts you should get a dialog box asking if you want to reset the preferences)
    3)If these do not help specify the version of photoshop, what OS you have and its version. Then someone can tell you the location of the preference files since it is different on windows vs. a mac.

  • Preview images are too small - can't be changed.

    When I open some jpegs, I only see very tiny versions of the images in Preview. It's really disconcerting. I know that they are larger - I've downloaded them from the web, saved them on the desktop or in a folder, and then when I double click and open them, they view at far, far smaller than the pixel width and height.
    Even when I select "Actual Size" in View, they remain just as small. And then when I click the + button to enlarge the image, it simply blows it up, pixellated.
    It seems really crazy and buggy to me. I've never had this problem before, and I've been using mac for years. Any clues / fixes?

    Look in you LabVIEW.ini for any font related lines.

  • Images are offline and can't reconnect

    Two projects in my Library show the files to be "offline" or "missing." When I select them all and "Manage referenced files" the aperture library doesn't show up in the pictures directory, and I can't reconnect because of this. The Aperture Library can be seen in Finder and all of the other projects seem to be fine. I haven't done anything such as a backup or moving files or etc.

    Ok. So in general we have the Aperture Library/"Files for each folder"/"*.approject for each project"/"a folder for each import session"/"a folder for each image"/"Files for each image"
    1st I tried to copy the *.approject file to a different location and reconnect from the different location. However the *.approject did would not appear in the Manage reference files dialog.
    2nd I moved the *.jpg file from the "a folder for each image"/"Files for each image" to a different location. Went into aperture and deleted all the files from the project. Then re-imported the files from the new location. This worked.
    So I started the same procedure on the other project that wasn't working. Moved the files...went into aperture....selected all images....just about to hit Command-delete....but I noticed that the little yellow triangle is gone. After moving the *.jpg files, the project mysteriously begins working again.
    So just to double check, I tried it on the other "mystery" project. I moved the *.jpg files one by one, and everytime I move the *.jpg file another yellow triangle goes away. So all I'm left with is a *.apfile, *.apmaster, and 2 *.apversion files. But that appears to make it work again.
    I also checked some of the working projects...they have a *.jpg file but they still work....Go figure.

  • Connot get it to accept cookies; privacy settings are re-set each time after I change them. How can I get the privacy setting to stick and accept cookies?

    I need to accept cookies to log into a technical site. I clear all cookies and the history and follow the instructions for setting privacy options to "Use custom settings for history" and to accept all cookies. When I go back to try logging into the site, it still tells me cookies aren't accepted. When I go back to Options-Privacy, the setting has been changed back to "Remember history" from "Use custom settings for history". I have done this about 5 times, trying various options, closing Firefox after making the change and starting it again - nothing works. How can I get the privacy settings to stay as I set them and accept cookies?

    Blocking all cookies in Safari does not work. Deleted cookies will not stay deleted. There are numerous threads on this going back years, both in these forums and elsewhere. Many claim to have submitted the issue to Apple, but I have never seen anyone post a reply.
    I have seen many suggested fixes that involve finding the cookies file, some including Terminal manipulations, and none seems to work universally. I can find noplace where Apple addresses this officially with an actual Apple-approved explanation or how-to.
    Bottom line, your browser's security features should do what they claim: delete cookies. When they come back without ever even visiting another page, this is clearly not working in the way a reasonable user would expect.
    Bottom line, Safari does not protect users' privacy in the way it pretends to and, after so many years of this issue, it appears that Apple wants it this way.
    Having spent way too much time on this, I realize the choice is between Safari which is pretty well optimized; Firefox which is a lot pokier, at least for me; and Chrome, which I assume funnels personal information directly to Google.

  • On desktop almost all icons are Mozilla icons. How do i change them to the icons of the web sites?

    When i place web sites on my desk top, very few of them keep the original web site icon. They change to the Mozilla icon, the globe with the fox wrapped around it.
    How do i change these back to the web site icons?

    You can't and that is very wasteful of resources, good thing computer now have a lot more storage and memory. That used to be something that slowed down system startup.
    I just have applications in the Start, desktop, and quick launch.
    * http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/windows-7/win7.htm
    Suggest you make them keyworded bookmark shortcuts then you can call them up from Firefox with a name you assign yourself typically 1-7 characters, could be all initials in some cases, words, or anything.
    * http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/kws.htm
    I keep most of my keyword shortcuts in one folder "K" on my bookmarks toolbar, and the keyword is at the beginning of the title and sorted on the title so they are sorted on the keyword. The current folder actually has a distribution date on it so it isn't as short a name as I had intended. The "AwesomeBar" feature helps me to remember one if I forget it.
