Photo border / shadow problem

On iweb (and until recently on my website - www.megevechalet.co.uk) the pictures had a nice light shadow. iweb still shows the light shadow, but on the website all the photos now have a thick black border. Does anyone know why this might have changed and what i can do to resolve it? I'm absolutely certain I've done nothing on iweb to change it and haven't actually been on iweb for about a month (until today when i checked to see that on iweb the shadow is still showing).
Any help would be gratefully received!
Thanks

Are you using Firefox to view the site and see the black boxes? That's a problem with FF and some other browsers on photos that have had frames, drop shadows, borders or reflections added to it.
There's an easy workaround that removes those black boxes, reduces the number of files needed to render the page and speeds up the loading of the page. Follow the workaround described in this tutorial: #7 - Converting Photos w/Frames, Drop Shadows and/or Reflections into a Single Image File.
It works very well.

Web Module Edit Photo Border Flash Gallery

I am try to edit photo border/frame (color & stroke) in the Web Module.
This is not the thin lined rounded corner border around the whole plate.
Editing the drop shadow would also be nice.
Appreciate any members help.

Replying to myself.... I solved the problem by creating a new User Account in my OS. Solved the Lightroom problem and also a problem with Mini Bridge in Photoshop CS5, where it wouldn't open Bridge.

Lightroom Photo Border Bug ?

I have an issue where my Lightroom seems to display images correctly but once it sends them to the printer they get cropped differently. I did some digging around with the numbers and came to the conclusion that this is probably a bug or a feature that is implemented backwards. Basically what seems to create the problem is the "Photo Border" feature. When you add a border the image in Lightroom gets scaled down to compensate and that is what Lightroom displays. When printing however, the image is scaled back up to the size of the frame and the border is now masking it. Here are some images to demonstrate this:
The original Image:
The way Lightroom displays it when the border is added:
The way Lightroom prints it:
What actually goes on (masking instead of scaling to compensate for the border):
Has anyone else run into this or can confirm that they get the same behaviour on their end ?

I'm not in front of my lightroom machine right now to check, but I would expect the display of the software to indicate what will actually be printed. The image is scaled down to conpensate for the border as far as the lightroom display goes, but it's not what the pdf preview before printing or the actual print reflects.

Photo Border in Inches and Cut Lines?

Is there any way to specify a Photo Border in inches rather than points? Or should I simply divide by 72 to convert points to the inches?
Also, when I have Cut Lines selected, this selected area in red between the two images shows up in the print. Is there any way to stop this from happening?

anyone?

Is there a pref to turn off border/shadow in window screen capture?

Somewhere along the line, Apple changed screen capture of a window (cmd-shift-4 and then spacebar) so that now you get a white border and drop shadow around the window in the screen capture file. This is very pretty, but for the purposes of posting captures on websites, for example, the original 'just the window' capture is really much more useful. Is there a *defaults write com.apple.screencapture* (or something) preference that can be changed to set the border/shadow to off?
- padmavyuha

Yes, annoying isn't it? I got mine changed using this command in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true
You then need to log out and back in. This fix is courtesy of "atverd" at MacOSXHints. Bless him, and Rob Griffiths.

Image Border/Shadow in Wiki

Does anybody know if it's possible to remove the border/shadow from the images updoladed to the Wiki pages?

With my images in the wiki there isn't a shadow. There is a border, but you could just drag the picture out of the box when editing a page, although in my experience those pictures were gone the next day...

Custom package printing - photo border not printing

LR 3 on XP Pro, Epson 2400
I've created a custom print layout with 8 cells. The 'Photo Border' is ticked at 3.0pt and this shows up on layout.
When I print the page all the photos are borderless. Print to file shows no borders either.
Any clues as to why my borders aren't showing up ?
Thanks

Geoff,
Thanks for reply. Are you sure you don't have 'inner stroke' ticked ? Your screenshot of Lightroom appears to show 2 borders, the white one and the dark coloured one. Your print from PS only shows the dark one.
I have an A3 page size with several cells. I have page colour of white ('Page Background Colour' unticked).
If I tick 'Photo Border' (and untick 'Inner stroke') then what I see on screen is each photo surrounded by a white border, with the border deliniated by a black line. When printing to paper or printing to file you cannot 'see' a border, because it's a white border on a white background. The black line that shows on screen doesn't print. If I overlap the photos I can clearly see a white border where one picture sits on top of another.
I am now presuming that the black line is only there to let you know there is a border you can't see and that it's not intended to print. Slightly counterintuative to me.
I suppose what I'm looking for is a frame rather than a border.
Actually now I think about it some more the black line I'm talking about is actually the bondary of the cell itself rather than anything to do with the border.

Adding color to photo border

In the print package (and now custom PP with LR3b), I'd like to have the ability to give the color I want to the photo border (as I can do for the Inner stroke).
By the way, I'd loke to have also the photo border in the "single image" too.

That's the easiest.
Open your full colour image.
Choose the Smart Brush tool I showed in my previous post.
On the Options bar for the tool,
hit the dropdown arrow (1).
Hit the effects dropdown box and choose "Black and White" (2).
Select "Grayscale" (3).
Set your brush to a small size.
Paint over the areas you want to be in Black & White. The brush automatically selects entire areas as you paint.
If it goes too far, set the brush to "minus"
and paint over the excess area to return it to the original colour.
The automatic selection kind of "learns" what you want, so by going back and forth between "plus" and "minus", you'll ultimately get what you want.

Photo Gallery Demo Problem

I'm trying to understand the Photo Gallery demo so I can
replicate the function for use on various sites. I've copied the
html, xml, javascript and some of the photo file elements to my
hard drive. I initially modified the file structures to something
more of my liking, but had some problems with the links. I've since
mimicked the structures so I can reduce the initial errors, but I
am stumped at the var dsGallery and var dsPhotos statements that
dynamically link to the China, Paris and Egypt photo databases. In
the original dynamic definition, DreamWeaver only parses the
dsGalleries XML definition, not defining the dsGallery and dsPhoto
nodes. I wasn't too concerned about that given the variable nature,
but nothing except the pull-down menu and controls displayed in the
browser. DreamWeaver shows correct parsing of the dsGalleries XML,
dsGallery and dsPhoto nodes only when I eliminate the dynamic
linking and set it to one of the static links (Egypt). This fails
in the browser to link to the data, giving a display that shows the
correct number of empty thumbnail frames but without the displayed
photos, no Spry effects, and no large photo display. I'm sure I
have multiple reference errors, but I don't see them. Any ideas?

Using Bridge to Camera Raw to Open Image button also drop shadow problems

I remember when I was working with RAW in PSE 8. I would be in Bridge looking at a pic and double click on it. PSE 8 would open in Camera RAW and I could play with the pic a bit, make some adjustments, then click on OPEN IMAGE. When I did that it would open in PSE and it would be in jpg format. With this PSE 9 and the updated Camera RAW 6.3, when I punch OPEN IMAGE I still have a picture labeled .CR2 which I think still means RAW. When I double click in Bridge the .CR2 pic shows as 8 bit depth. I can do a little more work on it and use SAVE AS. When I do that, the sample file name that shows is still in .CR2 format and I must change that to .jpg and then below change from PHOTOSHOP to JPEG to save my file as a jpg file. Is there something that I have to change in preferences to get it to open the image in jpg format when I hit the OPEN IMAGE button? Or, is this an "improvement" with RAW 6.3? Also, I seem to be having trouble adding a drop shadow (or any other effects) on jpeg pics. At least it doesn't show up on the screen after I apply it. I just recently updated to Camera RAW 6.3 and updated my Operating system on my iMac computer to OS 10.6.6. I emailed this request to my good friend with an identical setup on his iMac and he is having the same response when performing the above operations. Any ideas what the problem might be?

Okay, previously you seem to have been using the bridge version of camera raw to edit your raw photos. That has many more options than the PSE version of the raw converter. (If you still have PSE 8, you can see the difference by using File>Open in the editor to open a raw photo for the PSE version of ACR, which works the same way in PSE 9.) In PSE's raw converter, you use the Open button, then save your photo in an image format in the editor. The Save button in ACR in PSE is only the DNG converter.
Layer styles should work exactly the same way as in PSE 8. However, in any version of PSE a drop shadow, like a real shadow, needs someplace to fall, so unless there is empty space on the layer, it won't appear. Try creating text or drawing and simplifying a shape and adding a drop shadow. Does it appear then?
Also remember that Jpegs won't let you save either layers or transparency when you resave the file.

Flash Web Gallery large photo border erratic behavior

In Lightroom HTML Web Gallery one can define border styles for the displayed photos. I cannot find a similar future in the Flash Gallery however. Is there one??? In any case, the first 6 photos in my Flash Web Gallery appear with a black border around the main large displayed photos. The subsequent photos do not have any border. In either case, it would be nice to have the border appearance consistent and preferably user definable.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi John,
Thanks for that. A bit more digging - preview in browser is fine and export to harddrive then runs in browser OK. I tried HTML gallery and got the same error (No 2 says a file was truncated) so I chucked it all at another server and it seems to be OK. Looks like an ISP problem.
Those unconnected problems were:
Despite repairs I still can't burn to CD, it still says it's been disabled. I don't miss the feature but I like to think my installation is fully functional.
I still seem to have a memory leak in that if I crop,edit and export 46 images as jpg it falls over, very politely - sorry for the inconvenience etc but this is repeatable, yesterday it crashed at 46 and 92 images. I wonder if my 2.3 install was OK and this was behind the second part of my question.

Photo Booth Effect Problems

Hi,
Im having problems with the video effects, such as clouds, eiffel tower or dots, with photo booth. Everytime I try to set it up, the background is mixed with the actual picture/person. I think its because of similar colours, but what solutions are there to this problem?
thanks a lot
raphael

This isn't a bug at all, folks.
What photo booth does is take a picture of your background without you in it. Then it overlays the beach picture (my fav) and, after you move back into the frame, changes only the pixels which are of a different color than your original background.
This is the same way they use blue-screens (or green) in the movie business. With the same problems.
You need to be careful about the lighting and the colors you choose. (Don't wear a white shirt in front of a white wall). Try using a sheet of a really different color. Make sure there are no ripples in the fabric. Ideally, your light source would be in front of you and a couple of feet higher to avoid shadows on your background.
It sounds complicated but once you got it setup right, it works really well!!
Good luck!

Shadow problems

Sorry if this question has already been asked...I'm having some frustrations with shadows in Pages. I have placed a colored shadow behind a photo and then altered the shadow to appear more like a glow around the photo. However, when I go to preview, print or try to export as PDF, the shadow is reverted back to a normal shadow and not the glow effect that appears in Pages. So far, I've been unable to print this project the way it appears in Pages.
Is there something I'm missing here, or is this a bug in the program?
Thanks.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hello AH1462,
if the PDF-X advice from Ric doesn't solve your problem, try the more detailed tut at: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1247733#1247733. If that doesn't work, try to use Acrobat Destiller or Pro (if you have). Print the Pages file into a PS and import it to Acrobat, than save it as a PDF.
If that doesn't work as well, you can be full of hope for a new version of Pages in January like a lot of us are.
Frank.

Hp2540 Galaxy S4 and S2 enormous photo border

When printing on same network to hp2540 4x6 photo paper from S2 and S4 phones a half inch+ border is being added to the bottom and right margin. S4 using latest oem kitkat and latest HP plugin. S2 running HP e print app and latest plugin. Border is not shown when previewing the photo on the phone.
This border is not produced when printing same photo from desktop WinXP to hp2540.
I am hoping there is a solution otherwise the printer will have to be returned.
Regards

Hi,
Sorry to hear you are having problems printing. I have seen some border optimiaztion issues with the plugin when printing photos.
I'd recommend that you download the HP e-PRINT app and try this. The e-Print app offers much more flexability in terms of image quality, scaling etc.
