Phantom image on slide background

Somehow I got an image of a screen shot on the background on
some of the slides in my Captivate file. I cannot select it to
delete it. Any thoughts on how to get this graphic image off of
these slides?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Jeff Graunke

Hi Jeff
Hmmm, very strange. I just clicked it from here in the thread
and it opened right up. However, I do notice that there were issues
last night where I'd see "page cannot be found" from time to time.
The only suggestion I have is to try again and maybe this time it
will open?
Cheers... Rick

Problem: Image fill creates white border that obscures slide background

Dear group,
I'm writing on behalf of someone who has a presentation to make soon and who is working in haste. When he uses the "image fill" option on the slide inspector, there's a white border that seems to obstruct the rest of the slide background. Do you have any suggestions for working around this?
Many thanks!

He could simply paste the image directly onto the slide (or slide master) rather than using an image fill.

Adjusting Image Used for Master Slide Background

I'd like to use a jpeg of mine as the master slide background in a Keynote doc. But I'd like to be able to adjust that image (e.g., making it brighter or less opaque) so that text is clearly visible on it. I know that in the Inspector there are ample ways to adjust the qualities of an image inserted into a slide, but I have not found any way to do with images that are slide backgrounds (or the slide master).
Does anyone know a way? Thanks.

Show-through image at slide change

I've placed a white image on part of a slide background to
cover up part of the original image, and then embedded the white
image into the background. It seems to be fine while I'm in edit
mode. I've done this with several slides. When I run the movie,
however, in some cases a bit of the old background (one or two
rectangular portions) will appear very briefly when the slides
change. Thus when the movie runs, one sees a second or two of dark
areas on the white background. I'm desperately in need of a
solution.
Thanks!

Hi katwebwitch
Nice handle by the way. You might want to try the following:
Create a new blank slide after one of your dodgy slides
Copy Background from dodgy slide and paste as backgrounf to
new slide
Use CTRL A to select all objects on dodgy slide and
copy/paste to new slide
Delete dodgy slide
Rinse & repeat for all dodgies
Please let me know if this works for you!

Lines Appearing on Slide Background at Runtime

I am using Captivate 3 and cannot get support from Adobe, so I am relegated to asking and waiting for a response here.
There are lines appearing on the backgrounds at runtime only. They do not appear during editing mode so I cannot remove them. It seems as if part of the previous slide's background (the lines) are being carried forward since these lines are part of the previous screen. I tried to just start recording the screen I was having problems with assuming that perhaps they were appearing as a result from moving from one screen to the next. It didn't work. Even if I start my recording at the screen where my trouble start, the lines again appear during runtime.
Why can't I get rid of them? My client doesn't want them and neither do I.

I also used to have this issue sometimes in Cp projects. I noticed that this only happens for slide background images, not for normal images.
My workaround was to ideantify each slide that suffered with this problem then find the background in the Library. If you drag the library background out onto the same slide it becomes an image. Then set this image at the lowest level layer so that everything else is on top of it. Set timing so that it plays right from the first slide to the end of the slide with no transition applied.
It's not ideal having to use two copies of the same image on a slide but at least it hides the artifacts at runtime. They're not visible because they're underneath the dummy background image.

Help: Slide background showing up on other slides.

I'm using Captivate 6 and I've encountered the following issue with most projects I work on. I've recorded from a software application, and when I publish my project, portions of slide background from some slides show up on other slides. I can't incude a full screenshot due to the proprietary nature of the software I'm working with, but I've included a snippet to give you an idea. The white portion on the left that says "Breath Sounds" is not supposed to be there. That is from a different slide and in a different place. This only shows in the published version, not in preview mode. I've tried increasing the SWF size and quality to high and compressing full motion. The only work-around I've had success with so far is hiding all the objects on a slide and then capturing a screenshot of it, then adding the screenshot to the slide as an image, and applying the objects back on top of it. As you can imagine, this makes the size of the project much bigger than necessary and it is very time intensive to go out and do this for every slide. I've tried adding the screenshot as background and I run in to the same issue. Has anyone run in to this before and know how to fix it?
Thanks, Brandey

I did not select that option, but I will give that a try. I did create a second version of the project to use to troubleshoot the issues because I was able to finish the first version using the workaround I mentioned above. When I published the new version (without the added screenshot images), I turned off compression and the issue was resolved so that must be it. Thanks to both of you for your help!!

Issues with slide background. Help!

Okay I am updating a lesson on how to do a function in a program that the company i worked for developed. They changed some facets of the interface and this required me to update the background and some of the images in the software simulation. To try and expedite the process I tried to copy in screen shots of the backgrounds from the new simulation to the old lesson so that I wouldn't have to mess with the other objects in the lesson (narration, highlight boxes, captions, etc.) and now I have a problem.
The new backgrounds seem to behave perfectly normal except for during playthrough. At the very end of the slide parts of the old background come back up on screen even though they no longer exist in the library or presentation at all. I did merge the new screen shots in to the slide background so I know that isn't the issue.
I can't show very much of the background (privacy issues) but this is what it's supposed to look like and what it does look like until the very end.
Here is what it looks like when it "screws up". I think it might have something to do with some kind of recorded animation since the only parts of the old background that come back are parts of the background that the user had to interact with during the original lesson.

Hello,
Not easy to reply before having a good idea of the issues. Perhaps some suggestions:
about the changed background: do you have access to image edting software (such as Photoshop)? If yes, did you try the option to Edit the Background instead of copy a new background?
was it a training simulation, am asking this because you talk about interaction? Then you should see extra objects on the Timeline on top of the background. Do you have them? If yes can you check the timing, the transition of these objects?
about the 'typing objects', if that is what you pointing at; you cannot delete them, but you can replace them with a Text animation (right-click on the typing object in the Timeline). This animation can be changed and can also be deleted, perhaps to replace it by a Text Entry Box (where the user has to enter the text).
Hope this makes sense and perhaps could give you some extra ideas?

Master slide background color

When I select the master slide on the far left (the slightly bigger one), and I deselect "project background" and change the "stage:" to a different color, nothing happens. I am trying to use the solid color (paint can) and I put in my choice of Hex color (005983). When I try the same thing on the individual master slides to the right, I also get nothing. I even changed the Edit>Preferences>Defaults>Background color to the same color. And I get nothing.
I can (and have) put other things (logo, color bar) on the Master slide, and it propigates to the right on the other slides. What am I missing?

There are objects on the main master slide, they are not merged into the background. Yes, you can set the stage color for a normal slide as well:
What do you really want to achieve with selecting a blue color for the main master slide? It will not show up because you have objects on that slide that cover the stage color.
I know, documentation is not very helpful. I have been writing a lot about Captivate to provide some clues, but not about master slides. It is a lot of work to write out documentation and I'm offering everything for free. Same with answers here, where Rod and Rick are also spending many hours trying to provide answers.
Depending on the theme you started with, there can be a project background. You used the white theme. That background will always show up on the main master slide, even when you uncheck Project background. If you want not to see that Project background on a normal slide, but a full blue color, you have to unselect Use Master Slide Background, then unselect Project Background (is dimmed as long as you use Master Slide Background) and then you can use a stage color. Those settings I show in the screenshot.

Phantom image in PDF file

I am working with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and MS Office 2007; my PC runs under Windows XP. I am experimenting with the MS Word "book fold" option and, so far, I got great results. Because this document must be printed overseas, I created it in A4 paper, which gives me two pages per each side of the sheet. What I do then is to print to Adobe Acrobat, rather than creating a PDF file. This is because the MS Word "book fold" option only becomes active during printing.
In any event, in one of the files, which has multiple sections and mirrored margins, I deleted an image from the headers (odd and even) of all the sections in which this image existed. When I convert the file to PDF from within MS Word, everything looks normal; same when I print the file or when I do a print preview. However, when I print the file using Acrobat as a printer, the deleted image shows on the headers of all odd pages. I made sure to use "A4" on the Acrobat printer settings and, after being playing with all the available options, I still obtain the dreaded phantom image.
What can I do to get rid of that recurrent image?

Hi there,
After making sure that I had all the updates for Windows XP, MS Office 2007 and Acrobat CS4, the problem persisted. Before taking the time to create a brand new document from scratch, I decided to revert the paper size from A4 to Letter. This, obviously, changed the margins and, in some cases, because of shorter length of the Letter paper, it forced some page breaks. To my surprise, I could see the "phantom" image in the header of all the odd pages that had been created with the new page breaks. Needless to say, I deleted those images from the headers and reverted the paper size to A4. After printing the file to the Adobe PDF printer driver, the resulting file no longer showed the phantom image.
The moral of this story is that, if printing using the Adobe PDF printer driver, we must create the file in A4 from the beginning. Alternatively, if converting from Letter to A4, we should make sure that no unwanted image or text is still present in the Letter format before the conversion.
Thank you for your time.

Image Size Slider? better in iP5?

In iPhoto 5 the image size slider on the lower right of iPhoto worked really well. I could scroll from a lot of previews up to 9 in 3 columns, 4 pics in 2 colums, 2 pics in one column, and 1 fullsize pic.
The iPhoto 6 slider seems not to be that good. on my version it jumps from about 12 preview pics to 1. With nothing inbetween. Is there anyway I can change that back? Is this behaviour normal?
thanks,
stefan.

Squigles:
When you use the scroll wheel on the mighty mouse, to move up and down through your photo collection, it's not fluid it's gone all jumpy and buggy.
Go into iPhoto's preferences and turn off animated scrolling in the Appearance pane. That may be what you're seeing.
EDIT:Nope, that only affects the scrolling when you click on the scroll column at the right. I'm using a Pilotmouse Optical with a scroll wheel so may be getting different responses to the scroll wheel than you are. My scrolls are smooth.

Loading an image in the background and displaying it as it is loaded

Hi,
I'm writing an "image viewer" swing component, which should load an image in the background, and display it as it is loaded (for example each time a line of the image is loaded, display it)
Is there a way to do this using JAI or any other api ?
I guess i would need a way to check the loading progress from the EDT, get the loaded part of the image and display it. Am I right ? Is that possible ?
Thanks,
Nicolas

In the video inspector set the Spatial Conform to "none". This will give tou the actual size of the image in the viewer. You can then use the transform controls to adjust the image to what you want to see.

How do I put an image in the background of a JDesktop?

How can I remove an image from its background and save it? (Photoshop cs6)

Hello,
I am very new to the photoshop world and am trying to remove an image from its background ( as a stand-alone) and save it. Is there a way to do this in Photoshop CS6? I have looked at tutorials but only found how to remove the image but not how to save the image as a stand alone with no background.
Any help would be appreciated

Hi Erika,
Are you trying to save a portion of an image with a transparent background? It may help to post a screenshot of the image that you're working with as well as your layers panel.
I've included a few tips below that may help you with your situation. If you need additional help, please feel free to post again
Deleting a background and saving an image with a transparent background
1. Here I am working with an image of a santa hat that I've cut out from a white background. I have two layers, the cut-out santa hat and the original file. I'm going to delete the background layer so that I have just one layer - the cut-out santa hat:
2. You'll see that a checkerboard pattern has appeared behind the santa hat. This means that the background is transparent.
3. You can then go to File > Save As... and select PNG, Photoshop PSD, or TIFF from the Format dropdown menu. These file formats will save the cut-out portion of your image on its own, while preserving the transparent background.

Printing Images with Transparent Background

Sorry if this question has already been asked, but I couldn't find anything similar to it in a search through the archives.
I have a couple of images with transparent backgrounds in a document, much like the shells and the blue flowers in the "Classic Brochure" template in Pages 2.0.1. These images show up perfect on the screen, and when printed as .pdf files, but when I print to either an hp color laserjet 4600 or an hp laserjet 1320, the images show up with a clear box around them; the colors under the box (where it should be transparent) are faded and slightly blurred. This happens both with my document, and the unaltered "Classic Brochure" template. I've tried moving various objects backwards and forwards, but it doen't seem to have any effect. It even happens with one of the text boxes I have in the document.
Another odd thing is that the printed "box" isn't the same size as the box that appears when you click on the object in the document. It's a bit bigger. I've seen other posts about problems with hp printers, but I'm not sure it's related. Any insight would be appreciated.
