Need help Linking Images

I copied and pasted pictures from online into my indesign document. By doing that my document size is over 100mb. I need to reduce the file size.
I am trying to reduce the file size because I am working on a project for college and need to submit it. How can I use the image source (website link) to add an image to my indesign document so that I am able to reduce my file size...
Any ideas?

What, exactly are you supposed to submit?
The correct way to do this is to save the images to your hard drive, then PLACE them in the ID file. THis will make the file smaller, BUT you must still include the images in any package of native files you deliver, so the overall size of the project on disk is not going to be reduced unless you are using images more than once (in which case you only deliver the single linked file, but ID keeps multiple pointers to it in the document -- pointers are very small, images tend to be big).
Can you submit a PDF?

This is the type of code it has a hard time getting the image
becuase it doesn't have a regular IMG tag.

Is there a way to modify this code to make it be able to look
for the backround: url?? I am thinking that woul help it.. It knows
that an image is there.. It just doesn't know what to do with
it.

How difficult is it for you to do a google image search for large images of this subject?
While you appear to be doing this project for an educational endeavour and can get away with mild copyright abuse as "fair use", you probably should not expect the participants in this forum to 1) work for Disney either as a direct employee or as a contractor and 2) offer their copyrighted work for free.
If you really want to impress a teacher and a future employer, you would use your own art. Why dont you create your own movie concept? Suppose you and your classmate are up for the same employment position. Who do you think will get hired if you show work that is not all your own, while your classmate has produced all of his/her own work?

Need help linking spry tabbed panel from external page

Could use some help. I need to link to a specific spry tabbed panel on page "A" from a link on page "B" I have tried several "solutions" on the web and had no luck. When I add the code needed at the bottom of the code where you initiate the instance, it stacks the content of ALL panels in the first panel, and renders the tabs inoperable. This is a key feature I need in a new site being developed.

Is this the senario that you are talking about?

Need Help With Image Gallery

Hey all, I need a simple image gallery to load when you click a button. I've tried shadowbox but have had absolutely zero luck. I'm not sure how to load it from a flash file and I know there is work that has to be done outside of flash like in the root folder. All I need is for a simple image gallery, nothing fancy, to open when I hit a button. If anyone could explain how to use shadowbox in lamens terms or knows how to easily script a gallery that would be amazing.

What script version is your target? AS2 or AS3

Unable to chance BG image need help - link attached.

Using a template, I want to replace the George Washington image that is there with a bird image and have it be just as long, in other words turn my bird image into a mask as of right now when I enlarge, it gets big, and can make it large horizontally.
Here is the link and I want the bird to be the same size as the George Washing image.
http://img67.imageshack.us/my.php?image=needhelppagessl2.gif
Thanks!

First, for your "constrain" problem, uncheck Constrain Proportions in the metrics inspector. You can then drag a side handle to stretch the image. Like this:
For masking, insert your image then insert a square/rectangle & resize it to what you want. Now move the rectangle on top of your image, shift-click to select the image (in addition the rectangle) then select Format > Mask with selected shape.
Now I can move Muffin around in the mask

So frustrated! Need help positioning image...

Hi folks...
I am learning CSS in fits and starts, and clearly I don't have a good enough grasp on it. I hope someone can help me.
I created this page, and tried to place an image in the large "main content" area to the right of the slideshow. It didn't work, kept getting shifted elsewhere. So I specified it as the background image for that div instead... It looks fine in Firefox and Safari (I'm on a Mac), however, a colleague with Internet Explorer 7 on a PC says that it shows up way down at the bottom of the page after the slideshow
I've looked at all the ways to insert the image but none of them work. I know I must be missing something very simple. Can anyone help?

The width of your #mainConent <div> is too wide hence in IE it is displaced to beneath the side bar.
Change it to 560px wide and also add float: left; as shown below:

    width: 560px;
    float: left;

Need help with image

I sure could use a buddy who has Skype or something who I can shoot questions like this to. My designer wants a retainer of $3,000 but I can do most of my own stuff in Photoshop. Sometimes I get stumped though, and just need a 30 second tutorial. So I am coming here.
I basically need to figure out how to change this image:
But along with that comes figuring out how to change it from a square image to one with a rounded top and bottom-right corner.   Also a 2 pixel shadow going up the right side and along the bottom. I can manually draw in those two pixels easily enough. But the corners look terrible when I try to manually do it.
Is there an easier way? I have been cropping the new image to the proper size, and then drawing in the two pixel fade on the side and bottom. Then trying to pixel by pixel create the rounded edges.
Its not looking natural.
Before you say "Its a drop shadow!" please remember, in order for me to copy that exact drop shadow, I would need to know all their settings, colors, pixel widths, etc. All I have is a flat, finished image, so I have none of that information. Plus, I dont know how to do a drop shadow on a curved corner, which deletes the original squared corner on the image. :-\
If you give instructions, please be as clear and detailed as possible. This is why I prefer a chat medium for this type of thing.
Thanks much to anyone who can assist.
PB

Here is a TUTORIAL on doing rounded corners. Hope it helps.   Could not get insert link to work so try this. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CDYQFjAA&url=http%3A%2 F%2Fmatthom.com%2Farchive%2F2004%2F09%2F10%2Ffast-rounded-corners-in-photoshop&ei=q2l8T_T8 LcKZiQKQnt3uDQ&usg=AFQjCNEsGI12k8Ck-GiuIWMUOLC6m3xoYw
Don't know what magnification you are using on this image, but the fact you have pixels shows it will be difficult to make a nice rounded edge.
You might need a higher resolution image, or at least convert from 8 bits to 16 bits to do edits, then change back to 8 RGB to save. Beware not all toolsand saves will work in 16 bit.

Need help placing images

Hey everybody hows it going? Any help you could give me would
be greatly appreciated!
Here is my problem. I am working off a template and have been
able to do everything I want so far but ive run into a problem.
Check my site to follow along
Shine Media House (Click
Here). Whenever the user clicks on About, Services or Contact a
random image appears along with the background on the corresponding
page. I need to be able to link it to a specific image. I found the
action for the random sequence and it reads as follow,
(_root.link !== 3) {
_root.pic_num = (Math.ceil(Math.random()*105));
Anybody know a way to fix my problem? It probably is really
simple I just have no clue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

This is a perfect answer. I am now able to specify what
number image from an array of images. Now, is there a way to
specify different photos for the three different buttons?
I am thinking that is what the
if (_root.link !== 3)
piece is about.
Any thing would be great!!!
Thanks!
I can post the fla file somewhere if that would help!

Urgent - need help, Powerpoint images require quicktime???

Hi guys, I'm a lecturer and I prepared a powerpoint on my G5 to show to students last week. the text loads on the Dell PC they have in the classroom, but the images come up with a message "requires Quicktime and a decompressor". As far as I know these are just jpg files which I downloaded from google images as jpega. I then opened the jpgs in Preview and copied and pasted them into the Powerpoint slides.
what's requiring Quicktime here? How can I get around this e.g. by using "insert" for the picture and then clicking the picture to insert? More important how will I know that the umages have loaded as simple jpgs and won't continue to require Quicktime? I have to give a lecture on Monday and I need this Powerpoint to work!!!
thanks for any help

Need help on image for my business.

hi. I'm Mike Gambino, admin/founder of my own website called http://gambinoarmy.co.cc/. I've been using macromedia for this stuff but apparently, y'all have better stuff than macromedia and I started using the schools. I have a trial on my computer for 30 days and I have been using it and I need to know how to do something. I see that lots of business owners have images that are linked on their site and it is making me mad that everytime I want to make an image, fireworks will not let me do anything on it.
there is something I want to do and it is to make an image that shows their signature, if they are online or not, when level their at, how long they have been playing, and so forth. I want to know if someone can help me give me a tutorial on how to make an image with HTML embeded into the image source so I can make it so that it is live and will work like most businesses do.
since I hardly go on since I'm trying to edit my site still, I would like someone to email me at [email protected] so I can get it right on my computer and I will not have to hunt down this forum post. I'm mostly busy and I'm trying to keep my site running and up to date and it is a busy week for me since I'm trying to do a grand opening of my site since someone hacked my site and edited a lot of things and now I secured it and everything and recovered my lost data.
please help me.

I can't speak to your business model.
is there even a way to take HTML scripts of PHP scripts, put it in a document and try using a <img src=" " /> code to try making it into an image?
The wording of that question doesn't even make sense. HTML is not scripting, it isn't programming. It is markup for text display. The image tag is also not programming; it is the markup for HTML that displays an image that has been created and stored.
For your desired functionality, something could probably be done with PHP and a database, if the person doing the work knew what he or she was doing. In any case, it isn't a Fireworks question. Fireworks creates graphics and it can output some HTML. It is not a programming environment.
If you want to put the your desired functionality into your site yourself, you first need to learn what HTML is and is not, what it can and can't do. Then, you need to move on to learning a programming language (for example PHP, ColdFusion, Perl, C#/.NET), as well as SQL (the language) and some database expertise. You also will need to learn about securing your database-driven site.
Good luck!

Need help Loading images with selection on a form field?

So I'm kind of a newb.. I can do basic forms but I need to set up a form field drop down box that will give me the ability to load images correlating to the users choice. I'm at a total loss for where to start, so ANY help would be appreciated. If you know of any good books or tutorials on the subject please share.
Thanks in advance
Sincerely,
Stumped4now

P.S. I think I'm getting a better understanding of OCGs after lots of research today. However I still seem to be missing something
var docOCGs = this.getOCGs();
for (var x=0; x < docOCGs.length; x++)
if(docOCGs[x].name == "Layer1")
docOCGs[x].state = !docOCGs[x].state;

Hard drive recently failed and iPhoto brings a -36 error when copying need help accessing image files

I recently updated my computer to mountain lion and after doing so my computer would no longer boot up. I took it to the apple store and they told me that the hard drive was damaged and needed to be replaced. They were booting my computer with an external drive and in doing so could access my computers HDD. Upon starting to drag and drop files to a new hard drive I started to get a lot of -36 errors. I proceeded to go go,e and create my own bootable thumb drive and try doing the same process with more time to look through it. I have up till now been able to copy most of my files but have run into a problem with iPhoto.
I have been searching around for a while now and have yet to find a method that helps me in my particular situation so I am now asking for help myself. I will explain what my current system of file recovery is and see if anyone can help me out.
I have since then replaced the HDD in my computer and purchased a SATA external HDD enclosure for the original drive. This allows me to still access all files and folders from the original drive. I have managed to recover a majority of the files but have recently run into a problem with the iPhoto library. Every time I try to drag and drop the iPhoto library to my new HDD it fails after "transferring" 2.02GB and tells me it has encountered a -36 error because some files cannot be read or written. I believe I am using iPhoto '09, I will check and confirm that later.
I am looking for a way to open iPhoto's library and access the image files it seems to be hiding from me. Please understand that I cannot open the iPhoto library either, I have lost access to the library entirely and want to see if there are any image files that I can save. I dont have the computer backed up recently and want to save my photos. Thanks for looking and I'm hoping someone can help.

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command). Rebuild it to the Pictures Folder. This might overcome the -36 issue.
(This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.)
Failing that you're into recovering your Originals from the damaged Library and creating a new Library and starting over from scratch.

TD
