Object placing - free moving picture in background
hello folks,
I want a picture in the background to my text and move that freely anwhere. The relevant boxes to tick for that are grayed out and not available. How can I work around that?
Thx and best
Harry
Are you aware that there are two types or modes of Pages documents, word processing or page layout?
The WP has a text layer which the PL doesn't have. The WP can send images to the background, but PL can't. When a option can't be done the option is greyed out. It could be because the type of document can't do it, or the object or text isn't selected.
To learn more about Pages as it has a lot of features and funtions download the Pages User Guide from your Pages Help menu.
I bought a book "The Missing Manual on iWork" when I had to learn Pages. It is helpful and a good reference book. There are other books that might suite you better.

Needing help with moving pictures around
I am in need of help in moving pictures and images around
dreamweaver document window. My older brother gave me his computer
witch has dreamweaver MX (he is in Irag) so i can start building
building my own websites. I went to borders and bought a book on
dreamweaver MX. Here is where I am having a problem with: when ever
I bring a picture into the document window I can not move the
picture around the document window. The book say "place the
insertion point where you want the image to appear" but there is no
insertion point. There is just a straight line as if I am about to
type something. It's almost like I am in microsoft word. If I take
the mouse over the picture , and then left click and try to drag
the picture to the location I want it in, it doesn't move. Can
somebody PLEASE help me out with this problem. Thanks JicalNadia gave you a good place to start… Here is what you
have to understand. Web pages are based on specific code that tells
the viewer’s browser how to display the page. There has to be
something that says, “Put this picture in the lower right
hand corner, and center this image in the middle of the
screen”
Then there are further instructions that say “Put this
text here and that link there”. So Dreamweaver (and most
other web developing programs) do not work like Illustrator or
PowerPoint where you can simply grab a picture and slide it around
the page.
In its simplest form you might drag an image onto the
Dreamweaver design view page and click on the center button in the
properties dialog.
Then type in text and center it, left justify, right justify,
etc. Add another picture and so on and you could possibly create a
passable web page. Now click on the Code view button and see what
code Dreamweaver generated in order to do all of this.
That is what you will really need to understand before you
can really get proficient at web design.
At the next level, you can start to add in tables. These
actually are similar to tables in Word. You can put text in one
cell, images in another, colored backgrounds, thick and thin
borders with contrasting colors, and you can start to see how to
“contain” your images as Nadia suggests.
Now look at the code again and see how these cells are
defined around your content.
Once you understand how this works, you will get much more
comfortable with Dreamweaver. You will just have to get used to the
idea that it doesn’t work like all of the publishing software
that is only dependant upon its own format for layout. HTML is
dependant upon the many browsers, computers, operating systems,
user preferences, and a million other unknown factors.
That’s why this forum has more than 91,000 posts… -
Is there a moving picture book app scam and virus?
I purchased moving picture book app (free) but then they advertised several books and purchased several to download. I was charged through ITunes as an in app purchase but then the books never downloaded and when a couple of them did, the screen was blank. I tried to report the problem but cannot select the purchase to report a problem. I don't know what happened. I read several reviews and others have experienced this. I sent an email to ITunes support but have not received any email back. What can I do? The books apps were supposed to be for my child who has autism. We felt we've been cheated.
Thanks MRLoon for your reply. I've read the adverts and saw the preview and that's why I decided to purchase the apps but I was unable to play any of the three apps that I downloaded. I purchased 16 total thinking they would download immediately. But after trying to download the first three and got nothing, I stopped. I've already sent an email to the moving picture books app support team five days ago and have not received any feedback or reply. If you are truly one of the owners, have your support team reply to my email. I'll send another one today. And please have your people check to see if the current app is compatible with IOS 5. Is there a better working contact number or email for Moving Picture Books app? Again, I appreciate your reply and any assistance you may provide. I hope your nephew is doing well.

Bug in 2.1: Moving pictures leaves stale thumbnail
This used to happen a lot with the original Lightroom Beta, but
rarely happened after the 2.1 RC.
It has happened three times with 2.1 final when moving pictures from a folder into a sibling, aka from:
g:\pics\unpro into
g:\pics\misc
But it doesn't always happen. Same symptom as before - the thumbnails don't get refreshed unless you restart lightroom.
It hasn't happened yet when moving pictures to a different drive.
- FrankIt happened again and I did some experimentation.
It does not always happen, but it is repeatable. I've now
reproduced it about 8 times.
Move one picture from one folder to another. Repeat until it happens.
I did a 'Relaunch and Rebuild' and then restarted Lightroom, and I had to move about 20 pictures (one by one) before it reoccurred.
What I am doing is dragging a picture from G:\pics\unpro into g:\pics\steve. I haven't done any changes to the pictures, I'm just organizing them a bit.
When the problem occurs, I notice the following:
I can see the moved picture in both folders, as if I had copied the picture, rather than moved it. Once I restart lightroom it is only in the correct folder.
On the disk, the picture is correctly in the new folder, and does
not exist in the original folder.
Let me know if you want me to try anything else.

Has anybody figured out how to slow down the scrolling when moving pictures from one roll to another? I keep whizzing by the roll I want.
This happens to me, too. I participated in a thread about this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3075268�
although nothing has really corrected the problem for me. And while I have the utmost respect for Terence Devlin, who is probably correct 99.9% of the time, I'm still not totally convinced that this is a mouse problem. [Sorry, TD.] I just don't see it in other contexts, (not even in Finder) but it happens consistently in iPhoto, and only when trying to drag selected items.
That being said, I have learned to live with and work around it. When moving pictures between rolls, I must keep all rolls closed except the one I select photos from. If the target roll is on screen with the beginning roll, there's no problem. If not, I may have to drop the photos in the closest roll to the target that I can manage. Like iPhoto leapfrog. Say I'm scrolling up. I may drop the photos into the highest roll on screen before iPhoto begins to hyper scroll. Then scroll the window to move that roll down, and drag them a second time upwards. Eventually the roll I'm in and the target roll will share the screen, and I can finish the job.
I'll be watching with interest to see if you find a solution. [Now TD will come correct me. That's okay, I'm used to it. And like I said, he's usually right. So he's probably right. Try anything he suggests and let us know if it works. :-)] -

Object manager free search in PA20
Hi,
I am using a custom infotype for object manager free search.
In the 'HR object selection' screen that comes after clicking on the free search, I am giving pernr and subtype 6 of infotype 6 (Addresses) with 'Value selection' and 'Value output' checked.But in the ouput that comes in the hitlist, the corresponding pernr is showed with the subtype 4 instead of 6 (ie, It is taking the first subtype available for the pernr in the hit list).
I have checked the custom infoset and it is working properly.
Is there any setting to done for this issue of object manager?
Regards,
Soumya.Any solution?

I have a png that I've placed on a solid color background and it looks fine on the screen. When I print it, I see the faded ghost of it's bounding box. Basically, it losing at least part of the transparency in the file, but only when it goes to print. This happens whether I print it from illustrator, Indesign, or a pdf. If I open and print it from Photoshop it's fine. Is there some sort of setting that needs to be changed?
I'm posting a photo of the result.Can you post the png so we can take a look at it?

Moved picture folders around now won't sync with iPhone
I recently moved around some pictures and now most of my pictures will not sync to my iPhone.
I have tried deleting the photo cache, moving pictures into a single folder and resetting the sync history, uninstalled iTunes, restored phone, copied all my photos to another location, and each time I get an error that that my iPhone can't be read or written to or the device times out.
The strangest thing is most of the folders or pictures it doesn't seem to like were pictures that were on the phone previously or were not touched when I moved stuff around.
I am running Vista and have even tried single folders and that works for some but most error out.
Any help would be appreciated.Hoosierbuff wrote:
I bought a concert bootleg direct from the artist
Then it is not a bootleg!
I dowloaded the songs, and now it won't sync with my iphone. I use icloud for my songs, and I also have imatch. WHy can't I get these songs on there?
It is possibly an incompatibility with audio format or sample rate.
First, make sure that the songs play in iTunes on your computer. If so, right-click and choose "create AAC version." Use the new AAC version with your iPhone. -
I want put a picture on background of JFrame
Hello, I�m using the JDK 5 ( with Windows), and I dev in a NetBeans.
I would like to know?
How Can I put the picture on background of JFrame?
Or which component I use to show picture?A simple way would be to subclass a JPanel, override it's paintComponent method to display your image and set the panel as the frame's content pane. Take a look at
JFrame#setContentPane(Component)
JPanel#paintComponent(Graphics)
and perhapt ImageIO.read(...) for loading the image. -
Placed ITunes in dock for background music and then attempted IPhotos which froze. This is a brand new computer. What happened? Princepony
Assuming you're using iPhoto 9.5 try the following: as a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

Moving Picture of face in Video
Hi guys, I am new to Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.
I was wondering, how is it possible to make a moving picture of a face in a video such as the one shown in this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHRDW...eature=related
Thanks a lot for your help!There's definatily a bunch of tracking done on that video.
Cutting the head head out (roto) is the least of your problems. Most of the shots look like a still of the face tracked onto other shots. You could take the 16 point garbage mask and cut out the face (but that would take forever use photoshop) then keyframe the scale and position over the head you want to replace.
That's how to do it in Premiere. But it would take forever.
In fact it would be quicker to learn After Effects then do it in there than it would to do it in Premiere pro.
