Opening cs5 idml without importing images

We save out a CS5 Indesign doc to idml for translation. Once translated we just open the idml in InDesign and tidy up. Now when we open the document it starts importing all the images and thewn crashes when it gets to a certain image, always the same one. I have trashed the image folder but it still tries to link. How do we stop it trying to link?
We want it to open with grey boxes and then relink manually.

Actually as soon as I posted I realized it probably won't work unless you move the links so the pointers become invalid and the links go missing (or open on a different system without the links). one way to deal with that might be to package the file, then make the .idml from the packaged version, and move the links folder. It probably isn't sufficeint to rename the folder if it it remains in the same path as the file itself since ID looks in subfolders for missing links before giving up.

Flash CS5 crashes when importing images

Hey all,
Working in an existing Flash file orginally CS4 now opened and being worked in CS5.
Whne importing an image file of any type (.png, .gif. jpg) in any manner, Flash CS5 totally crashes.
Error is reproduced in a new flash document as well.
System
XP sp3
AMD 4450e
4 gigs RAM
3 TB HD space
This happens whether importing to library or stage, opening an external library or cut & paste-ing.
Images are as small as a 300x223, 10.6kb gif to a jpg of the same dimnesions weighing in at 46.2kb. All created in Photoshop CS5
All systems and software updated!
HELP!
Wytchy

This has always been an issue in Flash for a long time. Search the forum and you'll see. The best you can do is import in smaller batches (I'd recommend no more than 50 at a time).
Do you actually NEED to import a sequence of images? Any reason you're not using video?
FYI on a rig with 32GB RAM I can barely import 50 without needing to save to a new file, then import another 50. Also realize compressed size and actual size are different. If you want to see the actual memory footprint, open Photoshop, open an image and look at the bottom left where it tells you the actual memory required to display that image. For example a 39K JPG takes 225.0KB memory. A 360KB image takes 3.71MB RAM.

Using Lightroom as RAW Converter without Importing Images

Hi-
I have a question that I can't find the answer to anywhere. i have images on my desktop that I'd like to convert from RAW to JPEG withOUT having to import them into LR.
What I mean is that I'd like to be able to open a folder, right click on an image, and convert it from RAW to JPEG in the folder. Is this possible? If it matters, I have Windows 7,
Thank you,
Kelly

Kelly, in order for Lightroom to see the raw file you have to import it. It's not a big deal, just a simple step in the process. Also realize that if you remove the imported raw files after development and exporting the jpegs, you will lose all the settings the images had and will have to start from scratch should you want to make adjustments later, unless you save the settings to XMP files.

Importing image from scanner

How can I import an image from my scanner (Epson Artisan 837) directly into Photoshop 5? When I go to import, there is ONLY the message: "Video Frames to Layers"...whatever that means. I don't know how I can now use Photoshop to open my scanner and import images like I could with an older version of Photoshop.

Before anyone can help you, they will need what OS you are using and the version of the OS as the scanner driver differs for each OS and version.

How can I import image sequences into Fireworks???

I quote:
Not specifically "import" but you can open a series of images as an animation. This will place each image in its own state, suitable for creating an animation.

Lost imported images...

Hello all,
I imported over 300 photos from my camera into my i-Photo library. I clicked to open the "last import" folder and it opened with all the imported images showing. Then I clicked on the first image to enlarge and the program froze up. I had to force quit the program as well as my i-Tunes because that happened to freeze up as well. I decided to restart the computer because it hadnt been restarted in some time and when I went back into my i-Photos, the recently added items were gone. I dont know where they could have gone but they were deleted off the camera so my only way to recover them is via the computer. They were all successfully imported because I did see them... they are just missing now. BTW, they are the only images that are missing.
Please advise as to a remedy for recovering these items.
Thanks so much,
JC

Try the following: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options. If that doesn't recover your photos the rebuilding with iPhoto Library may do it:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory .
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Opening an idml file in indesign cs5

I'm trying to open an idml file in cs5 on a mac. I can't upgrade to cs5.5 without upgrading everything else.
When I open the file, I'm not able to see the "high res display" images or the preview images. Am I missing plugins? or what?
Can anyone tell me how to get this to work?
Thanks.

Do you have the links? .idml doesn't store previews, so they need to be regenerated, and that can only be done if ID can locate the links.

How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

Hi Keith, and all others chiming in, I do have the correct option checked in advanced settings telling iPhoto to copy the images into the library. What is a refernced library? Perhaps this is where I am getting confused. I exported my entire photo library from an old iMac5 to my external hard drive, from there I attempted to import the entire library to my new iMac. Am I overlooking an obvious and easy way to import from the hard drive to the new iMac--I dragged the entire photo pholder from the hard drive to the open window of iPhoto on the new computer. Now, I only get preview file sizes in iPhoto, unless I have my external drive open. Perhaps I need to import the original images from the hard drive in a different way...?! (This is making me feel pretty stupid.)

Importing images into Premiere Pro CS5

Hi all. I have a problem that has just occurred. In an HDV project in CS5 Premirer Pro, I am importing images from a source file into the project window and then onto the timeline. These are separate jpg images, each one with a different filename albeit the first three letters of the filename are the same. When the images are imported, although the filenames are as they appear in the source folder, the actual images are all identical - usually to the first image in the group. It makes no difference whether I import the images separately or as a group - the same problem persists. I have tried clearing the media cache and re-starting the computer. No use. Any ideas?
Many thanks, Ivan.

Open and resave the images in Photoshop. This rewrites the header info and usually solves the problem.

I got the same problem. I tried to import into Flash cs3, cs4, cs5 - constant error in each application.
But seems I've found the reason why this happened in my case.
I just deleted the installed system video codecs (divx, xvid, third-party codecs).
I do not see a direct connection with the import objects into flash. But fact, immediately after the removal of codecs it has to work.
I suspect that the reason could be a third-party codec that is associated with playing QuickTime. Maybe.
Also if it does not help you this way, I used a temporary solution.
Open the psd in Adobe Ilustrator, copy images to clipboard, paste it into flash.
In my case the images are not displayed on the screen after insert, but put into the library.
Don't touch objects, just save the file, close the Flash.
Launch Flash and open saved file. In my case in the first run was an error.
Close the application and open it with file again.
The second time the error was not followed, the images were within the document 8-)
This option made it possible to work until the issue is not solved completely (adobe, wake up!).
win7 64, cs5 (cs3, cs4 had the same issue)
Perhaps it can be useful for someone.
thx
Sorry for my English.

Opening an image from LR 2 in CS5 results in an image 2-3 stops lighter

When I open an image from Lr2 into CS5 or CS3 the image is 2-3 stops lighter than what it was in Lightroom. My color settings for the working space and the image profile are ProPhoto in both LR and PS. Does any one have an idea of what is causing this?
Thank you

Take a look at this FAQ regarding associations and Bridge, it may help with Lightroom also.
FAQ: What do I need to know about file associations when I load the Photoshop CS6 beta?

Any way to open new browser window without using image maps?

Is there any way to open new browser window without using image maps? My code works fine in Firefox, but not in IE. There are 2 problems in IE: 1st is that the thumbnail images move up within their own borders & 2nd that when you click on an image it does open up a new browser window, but also redirects to the index page (in this case it's just a placeholder index page - the new one I've called index_new.html for the time being).
Here is the link:
http://www.susieharperdesigns.com/gallery_beads.html
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Your missing a value on the HREF. In your code you have this:
<area shape="rect" coords="-24,-9,106,144" href=" " onclick="MM_openBrWindow('gallery_bead1.html','','width=255,height=360')" />
</map></div>
and it should be this:
<area shape="rect" coords="-24,-9,106,144" href="javascript:void()" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('gallery_bead1.html','','width=255,height=360')" />
</map></div>
If you fix the code on all your beads, it should work.

Flash CS6 cant open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?

Flash CS6 can't open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?
I'm just trying to preview an swf file in flash like I have with all previous versions.

What if my SWF loads external content from an online server?
Not only does the current flash player prohibit such activity, it doesn't even pop open an error anymore saying there was an error connecting to an online source.
Normally, I would simply drag the SWF into Flash and all connections would go through. I could see traces, errors, and experience no issues.
Now I can't even do that. So what then? You have crippled a fundamental use of the program, but THANK GOD we have that deco brush that nobody asked for.
And for the record, the nature of my work benefits from not necessarily allowing the Flash Player to connect to online content. The error it pops up? That's simply another method of error checking that I require. Updating the Flash Player options is not an option.
Why would you even remove this key feature from Flash anyways? It's been there for years ... has the ratio of people importing SWFs (a rather useless gesture in an increasing OOP world) really outweighed the people using Flash as a testing environment that much?

Import images WITHOUT any IPTC metadata

I've been racking by brain trying to work out how to do this, but cannot find a way, I'm sure it's something simple.
When I import my files the keywords are always imported and put into the top of the keyword directory instead of nested in folders I have organised in the keyword HUD. To solve this I have to remove all the new keywords, then import my IPTC metadata using iView Media Pro and the excellent Annoture.
Is there a way to import images without any IPTC data coming with them? I have tried 'Add Metadata From: All IPTC' and had it set to replace and left the fields blank, but this did not work.
Any ideas?

Ok, half way there. I downloaded an app called Pref Setter to edit the preferences by deleting the array strings that I no longer needed.
Also you can adjust the hierarchy of the auto completion data. I found that helpful with the copyright field since they all start off the same.
Need to still find a way to have the data automatically entered from a default setting, with out having to start typing.

Is there anyone with CS4 that could convert my CS5 idml file to inx so I can open in CS3?

Is there anyone with CS4 that could convert my CS5 idml file to inx so I can open in CS3? My school upgraded to CS5 and now I can't work on documents on my own computer at home. I want to work on a particular project at home but need it converted I do not own CS4 or know of anyone with it to help me. The file is fairly simply layout and shouldn't have special features that would effect the down grade. If you can help please reply or email me at [email protected]
Thanks
