Photo in Appleworks paint

I have a (sentimental value) photo that was sent to me as TIFF. Somehow, I pasted it into an Appleworks Paint document and have lost the original download.
I would like to put it in iPhoto 5, but it "could not be imported (may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)"
Then I tried to place it in my system 9 Adobe Photoshop LE but "it is not the right kind of document" I also tried EZ Photo but no go.
Is there any way I can get this photo into iPhoto?
Thanks for any advice.

Patricia:
Try the following. In AW with the photo cropped to just what you want, i.e. now white space, etc. do a Print to PDF. Then open the pdf file in preview and use the Save As menu option to save as a jpg at the best quality level. That will give you a jpg file that you can import into iPhoto.
If you have a 3rd party image editor you might be able to copy while in AW and the past into a new document in the editor. That would let you adjust the image as desired and then save as a new jpg file.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.

APPLEWORKS PAINT DPI AND RESOLUTION / IMAGE SIZE

I am struggling to make a 10" x 10" design in appleworks paint using at least 288 DPI. But the max resolution is 2000 pixels x 2000 pixels. This gives me a tiny square, not 10" x 10". The print shop I want to submit to dictates the size (10 x 10) and wants at least 200 DPI. Is there not some way for me to choose a DPI other than 72, 144, 288, 300 or 360??? I love appleworks paint but this is frustrating.
I did a 7.5" x 9" design, using 144 DPI @ 1010 x 1300 pixels and it SEEMED to come out fine, but they want higher DPI, and when it was opened as PNG (in an email) it turned out huge.
What am I doing WRONG?

Hi,
Give this a try and see if this works.
1. Create a custom page size 11x11 using page setup. The extra inch gives you some play with the margins.
2. Create a drawing document then under the Format menu select the Show ruler command.
3. Create a paint frame. Activate the paint frame and change the resolution to 288 dpi.
4. Resize the paint frame to 10x10 by dragging using the frames handles and using the ruler as a guide.
5. When you have completed the drawing save it as a pdf instead of jpg. If you save it as a jpg the resolution will revert to 72 dpi. If you save is pdf, the paint resolution should be maintained at 288 dpi. To save it as pdf use the print command and use the save pdf under the pdf button. Most print shops should be able to handle pdf.
Hope this helps.

Cant open PC Paint files with Appleworks paint program

I have been using the very simple Paint program that comes with windows. I have finally made the move and ditched the PC for something more stable.
When I try to import my .bmp pictures I used to work on into Appleworks it insists on opeing the Drawing program that has no "fill" etc. Even when I open the Paint program and then "force" it to open a .bmp only part of the picture is shown. I thought that a .bmp is pretty basic and common file type.
Does anyone know if Appleworks can handle .bmp files and if not what are other options. I didn't really feel the need to have a $170 paint program for what I am doing.
Hope you can help.
Michael

Dale,
Thanks for your reply.
The problem is that I need to use the "fill" in the paint program.
I have actually just been able to get the file to load into Appleworks paint after reading about using the .pict save. All looked good untill I tried to fill. What happens now is that the fill is very chunky and does not bleed thru at all. This makes it pretty useless at the moment.
Same problem, with a twist now.
Looking forward to any further ideas.
Michael

AppleWorks Paint

Hello
Sorry if this question has already been asked/answered before but I was wondering, how do I change the work space area on Paint and then save it so everytime I go to AppleWorks paint it will be that size?
Thank You,
Holly

Hi Holly,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
Launch ApplWorks and open a new Paint document.
Go Format > Document
Change the two Size values (Pixels across and Pixels down) to your desired values. (The maximum size is 2000 x 2000 pixels)
Click OK
Go File > Save
Name the file "AppleWorks PT Options"
Click the "Template" radio button near the bottom of the dialogue.
(AppleWorks will change the filename's suffix from .cwk to .cws, and will change the location to Templates.)
Click Save.
Close the document.
Any new Paint document will adopt the values you set for this template. You can change the template values at any time by repeating the steps above (and clicking Replace when asked if you want to replace the existing file).
You can change the default parameters for any type of AppleWorks document using essentially the same process. Use the same name (AppleWorks XX Options), changing only the XX portion of the name to the two-letter code for that type of document. (The document type code appears at the end of the document name in the title bar.)

Barry

Appleworks PAINT latency driving me INSANE !!!! HELP !!!

It takes up to 20 seconds to catch up and respond.
I use an Epson projector, G4 1.33 GHz /1.25 GB DDR RAM/ 12" Powerbook Aluminum,
WACOM tablet --- latest OSX update,
to teach math in Middle School.
I use paint like a super chalkboard .
Since last year, the latency while writing and moving windows around is DRIVING ME NUTS !!!!
I have to stop in the middle of an equation while the tool bar takes almost a minute to render,
a stroke of the stylus is ignored for almost 10 seconds, ARRRRGHHH !!!!!
Anyone know what is making this increasingly worse ???? ANY REMEDIES ?
It happens even without the projector connected and even with screen mirroring on or off.
I am LOST without Appleworks Paint and Draw.
I have years of graphics and lesson materials invested.
I NEED to annotate and manipulate on the fly without this nuisance.

Can I get photos into AppleWorks?

I have AppleWorks 6.2.9. I would like to know if I can get photos into AppleWorks. If so, how? And would JPEG work? Or, TIFF?
Have checked Appleworks help and a book I have on Appleworks. No help. At least not that I can find.

"If I click on the first photo I want, then use the shift key to get the others, it highlights a whole row, or more, of photos."
Click selects an item, Shift-click adds the item shift-clicked on and everything between it and the originally selected item, Command-click adds only the item on which you command-click.
Examples (using a list of six items)
To select items 1, 3 and 6: Click 1, command-click 3, command-click 6
To select items 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6: Click 3, shift-click 5, command-click 1 or
To select items 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6: Click 1, shift-click 6, command-click 2 or
To select items 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6: Click 1, press and hold the command key as you click 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Command-click is a toggle; using it on one item in a group of selected items deselects that item.
While these are in answer to an iPhoto question, the technique also applies to records in the AppleWorks database, and to items in other applications.
Shift-click adds or removes single items to a selection in AppleWorks Draw.

Barry

Will any Lion compatible application open AppleWorks paint files?

Is there any available application open AppleWorks paint files?
Better yet, any Lion compatible application that will do so.

I've been saving my completed AppleWorks Draw documents for a long time by copying them into Preview and saving from there, but, of course, you lose the ability to edit them then.
A bit off-topic, but I've found that you can't copy/paste an AppleWorks Paint document directly into Preview in Snow Leopard (as you could in previous versions of the OS). You need to paste it into an AppleWorks Draw document first, and then you can copy it from there, go to Preview, and use Command +n to make a new Preview document from the clipboard which then can be saved in the image format you prefer.
Until something that truly replaces AppleWorks comes along, I'm stuck in Snow Leopard, I'm afraid.
I'm just not willing to "make do" with several different applications that don't do as much as AppleWorks does as easily as AppleWorks does it.
Progress … isn't always.

AppleWorks paint replacement (for OS X Intel)

I used to use AppleWorks (for Mac) for the paint program that was built into it
and sometimes the draw program as well
I don't need another word processor as I have iWork and Microsoft Office with Microsoft Word, however I am having trouble finding a paint program for MacOS X that is similar to AppleWork's paint program, and It would be nice if it wasn't too expensive, but if my only option is a expensive program I am willing to go that way (I would just have to save up LOL :-)) I don't have AppleWorks installed anymore and it doesn't look like I could find a old copy somewhere and it would be better anyway if I bought more modern software.

The AW paint module is actually very primitive. It's worth getting something more modern even if you have to take the time to learn it.
GraphicConverter is quite a bit more powerful and should do everything you've been used to, and then some.
Photoshop Elements has a steeper learning curve but is extremely powerful: valuable it has layers (meaning that when you create an object and then deselect it you can still select it and edit or move it).

Importing and printing photos in Appleworks

If I drag a picture from iPhoto into an AppleWorks document, and then print it, the photo comes out in reduced resolution. (This doesn't occur if I drag the photo into a Word document. In Word, the resolution is the same as I would get when directly printing from iPhoto.)
AppleCare Technical Support can't suggest a solution. Can anyone help? I am using AppleWorks version 6.2.9.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Welcome to Apple Discussions Stephen
There are two issues at work here. First, AppleWorks
changes the resolution of any graphic format except
PICT to 72 dpi. The best solution to this problem is
to save the image as PICT before inserting into
AppleWorks. My favorite for this is Graph
icConverter, but you can use Preview or
Photoshop Elements or any other application that can
save as PICT.
For the second issue, this is a problem than became
more noticeable with AppleWorks 6.2.9 & has something
to do with postscript printing. Go to Preferences >
General > Topic: Text & turn Fractional Character
Widths on.
I can insert complete photos with no problem if I open them up in PictureViewer (OS 9) and copy and paste from there into Appleworks. PictureViewer seems to deal with the images in a different manner than Premiere.
HOWEVER recently I wanted to take four images from Photoshop (where I trimmed around them) and import them into Appleworks where I could collage them together. The pictures import and will print without problem if I do not resize them. Re-sizing the images cause pixelation around the edges when printing. The pixelation is not visible on the computer screen. The pictures were imported into Photoshop originally at 72 dpi.
Is there any way to copy an image (not a complete photo file, i.e., PICT) from Photoshop and import it successfully as a graphic?
On the other hand, is there an earlier version of Appleworks that works more efficiently with images?

Aperture vs photo shop vs paint shop pro(

I'm a new Mac user..... on my PC I've used both Photoshop (harder to use) and Paint Shop Pro easier but still a lot of options). I'm not a professional photographer but I take a lot of pictures and enjoy enhancing them.... more then just taking the red eye out or slightly adjusting the colors. So I'm looking for some photo manipulation software that is deeper then just fixing your photos but not quite as complicated as Photo Shop is. Is Aperture the way I want to go?
Does anyone have any suggestions for me or reviews I can read?
Thanks, Susan

Hi Susan. I'm an experienced Photoshop user, but I'm using Aperture 2.0 for more and more of my post-processing of images that do not require masking. My workflow using Aperture for whole-image adjustments is faster and, with 65,000+ photos, the savings in hard drive space vs Photoshop will be huge.
I'm learning Aperture bass ackwards, in the sense that I've been drawn into its image processing abilities before learning how to use it for managing my collection.
Be aware that Aperture really hammers your hardware, especially the video card. Download the trial version to see if it will work well with your computer system.

While using Appleworks painting or drawing and using Transform

I can't get the little box markers to come on around my image when I want to slant, stretch, or add perspective. Sometimes they appear but only cut in half and they move the image but without any real control.
Can any one help? This is in Appleworks 6.2.9. It came with the computer so I can't reinstall or rather I don't know how. Any help there?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Transform appears as a menu only in the Paint environment. It shows the same (non-)behaviour in my copy as in yours. Although I was able to get a shape to stretch, the behaviour was not consistent, and was wonky at best. My only suggestion would be to delete Appleworks's Preference files, but this did NOT work in my case.
In Draw, Reshape is an item in the Arrange menu. Reshape places a number of control points on curves, and the usual handles on shapes made from straight line segments. Behaviour is consistent, especially compared to the behaviour of Transform. Check "Reshape" in AppleWorks Help for details.
Regards,
Barry
PS: Although I don't think reinstallation will help for this problem, for future reference, AppleWorks is included in the Bundled Software on the Installation disk(s) that came with your G5 iMac. Startup from the Installer disk, but instead of running the Installer, check the menus and choose Install Bundled Software. Uncheck everything on the list, then open the "AppleWorks Languages" folder and check the version you want to install. Click Install.

Appleworks paint files- important

Is there anyway I could retrieve Appleworks or Clarisworks Paint files so that they could be viewable on my Mac? They were made between 2000 and 2006, but on a very old computer running OS 8, and then on a newer but still old computer running 9 and then early versions of X. They are very important to me and I'd like a way to retrieve them.

How about using AppleWorks? AW 6 runs on my Intel computer with MacOs 10.6.2
Which version do you have?

Appleworks Drawing & Painting: Color palettes *still* getting scrambled

I have a problem when using Appleworks drawing files with painting frames.
An Appleworks painting frame normally has two color palettes. One comes from the Drawing document, and this determines the background color of the painting frame. Anywhere that has no other color has this color. The other comes from the painting frame itself.
When clicking into the painting frame, both of these can get scrambled, with unpredictable results. In some cases, although both the drawing document and the painting frame used the same [presentation] palette, and the background color and another color were supposed to be the same, one could switch to another color. I started resetting the background color of each painting frame to white [in the drawing document], and filling it with whatever color I needed [in the painting frame] which solved one of the problems.
However, I'm still facing the annoying problem that the color palette gets scrambled. When I click into the Painting Frame, the color palette scrambles. If I start painting, it gets screwed up. If I switch the palette from presentation, to something else, back to presentation, that fixes it for the moment. If I click out of the painting frame, and then back into it, or click from one painting frame into another painting frame, the color palette scrambles again. I have to switch the palette twice each time I enter the frame.
Is there any way to correct this problem?

The earliest version of AppleWorks stable in OS X is 6.2.4. That you're using 6.2.2 could be a big part of the problem. Since AppleWorks was designated "end-of-life" it is difficult to find the updaters (especially the US/North American) on Apple's site. Here is the page with the links I have for the 6.2.9 updater. The page has a link to the North American updater in the upper right (the blue 15.8 MB) & links to other languages further down.
AppleWorks 6.2.9 for Mac
Whenever you do an update, it's a good idea to do two maintenance tasks, one for the system (Repair Permissions) and one for AppleWorks (delete preferences). (Thanks to Barry for this way to format this very common answer.)
To Repair permissions, launch Disk Utility, found in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder, click on First Aid, then on Repair Permissions.
To delete AppleWorks’ preference files, go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences. Find and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist. Find and open the folder AppleWorks in this Preferences folder, then delete all of the enclosed files (with the exception of the Button Bar Preferences if you have customized the Button Bars). AppleWorks will recreate the preference files as it needs them.

Can I still create a photo collage to print at home

Running Mountain Lion, using iPhoto '11 Version 9.4.3. My printer is an HP Photosmart C6180. I can't figure out if I did it before with this setup. Maybe I should try from the printer's settings, but can't rem how to get there, sorry, I have CRS

Yes, Old Toad, I am trying to print from iPhoto. (If you have to ask the meaning of CRS, you must already , since I believe you're older than I am, have it, Can't Remember S%$#.) I will give the HP application a try as soon as I find my manual in my drawer. Found it, no, nothing in it. The last time I am sure I did collages, I was still using my eMac, and an Epson printer. I used AppleWorks Painting. I had been trying to create pages of family pix to send to my sibs. You helped me out then. BTW, they came out great. The Epson had multiple creative apps, as did the old iPhoto. Hmm, Page Setup isn't under file anymore, dang. That's where i used to be able to choose multiple photos per page? Oh, phooey. Give me back my ancient iPhoto! I now recall the last time I printed multiple photos on one page, without borders, with my Windows laptop. I am not setting that whole thing up. I can print single photos per page, or do a contact sheet, enlarging the photos using the column slider to lower the number of columns, thereby enlarging the pix, but I can't get them to come out very big. Well over an inch of white between the pix on my letter size paper. Doesn't resemble a collage at all. I was going to add a photo of one collage, but I just found out the pix of my creations aren't even in my current iPhoto library, yikes! I have some work to do.
