Placing an image-how to

Any one know of a very good traing guide to place a photo in indesign?
When you are in quark you make a picture box and import a picture. With the content tool you can move the photo without moving the box, i just cant seem to get the hang of it in indesign.
Thanks

You can perform the exact same steps with InDesign as with Quark.
Create an image frame using the same styled tool in the tool box.
File > Place or CMD+D to browse to the file to place in the selected image frame.
Use the white arrow to move the image in the frame.
However, you do not have to create the image frame first. You can start with a blank page and simply File > Place, select the image and click on the page to place the image. Resize the frame using the black arrow tool. Move the image within the frame using the white arrow tool.

  • Placed PNG images which are made in 3ds max are not shown correctly in Ilustrator

    Hello,
    Why placed PNG images (renders) which are made in 3ds max (and then photoshoped) are not shown correctly in Ilustrator. Images appear very noise so you can't see almost a thing. the same pictures (renders) made in Revit appear ok.
    Is there a solution to solve this issue?
    Thanks.

    You would have to provide screenshots of how it looks in PS, including the channels visible. MAX may have embedded extra channels that throw off AI. And of course check whether your PNG is actually 8bit, not 16bit.

  • Hierarchical menu access when placing an image

    How can I get Illustrator to go back to accessing an image folder that is in one of my client project folders when placing an image instead of taking me back to the  main level of my hard drive every time. It used to do this but quit doing so.
    For example, my hard drive is set up as Hard drive/Clients/Client Name/12_100 Project _A/x_Linked Images. When working in illustrator, I have set up a keyboard shortcut of Command/e to place an image. The first time I place an image I have to navigate to the project x_linked images folder for the first time. Everytime I need to place a new image, Illustrator used to take me right back to that same x_Lnked Images folder. Now it takes me back to the main level of my hard drive and I hve to click through all of the folders again to get there. Does that make sense? It's slowing me down when I'm working.

    I'd get Default Folder X from insidersoftware.com if you want to solve this issue. It's mostly a Mac OS issue and pops up depending on what bugs Apple introduces into whatever version they release. Some OS versions go back to the proper folder, other's don't. With Default Folder.. they always do (among other things)

  • Suddenly placed EPS images in document won't print

    Recently I had to do a clean reinstall of the Mac OS to clear up some problems. I backed up all my files and applications before doing so, so I could move AppleWorks back onto my Mac from the backup.
    Now I am trying to print out an existing document from AppleWorks that has two placed EPS images in it. The only thing that prints is some text I have typed directly into the document. The document prints blank where the EPS images are supposed to be.
    To narrow down whether it was a problem with my printer or not, I chose the print command and then chose "save as PDF." The resulting PDF file is also blank were the EPS images are supposed to be, seemingly pointing to a problem with AppleWorks. I tried deleting and then reinserting the EPS images but this did not solve the problem.
    Thoughts on how I can correct this are appreciated.

    Whe you move AppleWorks from one machine to anothe (or back onto the same machine) you need to move the entire AppleWorks 6 folder and all of its contents.
    After doing so, you should delete the AppleWorks preferences files. You will need to do this for each user account on the machine.
    Go to username > Library > Preferences
    Locate and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist
    Still in the Preferences folder, locate and open the folder AppleWorks.
    From that folder, delete the following files:
    AppleWorks 6 Assistant Prefs
    AppleWorks 6 Assistants Cache
    AppleWorks 6 Preferences
    AppleWorks 6 Translators Cache
    If you have made changes to the Button Bar, and have experienced NO problems associated with the Button Bar, it is likely safe to leave the file AppleWorks 6 Button Bars where it is. Otherwise delete it as well.
    AppleWorks will create new copies of these files as they are needed.
    Then use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions on your startup drive. You'll find Disk Utility in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder.

    Upload the images to the images folder and use the markup as you have been using in the following, changing the name of the image to suit.
    !images/arcadisch_logo.jpg|alt=|src=images/arcadisch_logo.jpg!

  • Placing an image on matching Questions

    Using Captivate 3, I would like to use the matching question
    to match images, such as icons, with their usage. Is it possible to
    insert small images in one of the column and how. Any suggestions
    will be much appreciated.

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    But, placing one image on top of another in a web page must be a task that happens all the time.. I just have not found a straight forward way to do it yet.
    It's really not common.
    It can be done via layering (what Dreamweaver calls APDivs) but you may still get layout issues with browser resizing.

  • Placing an image on top of existing image

    I seem to have a lot of trouble with placing an image on top of an existing image and then wanting it to stay relative to the original. As in... I want to put a button on an image of a map. Then later.. will make a hotspot on that area to open another window.
    My trouble is with placing the button and then having it stay relative to the map no matter how the browser window moves or is sized.  What is the prefered method using DW CS4?  Can you point to a tutorial on how to do this...
    Thanks for your time

  • Placing an image in a tabbed panel content area, it shows up on all three panels

    This is crazy.  It should be so simple. But sometimes this happens to me. Like today.
    I have many pages that use a simple tabbed panel feature with three tabs.
    Each content area has a text frame and an image frame.
    Sometimes when I try to place an image into the content area of the first tab, the image shows up on all three content areas.  I have tried and tried placing the image, making very sure I am in the "content area" on not just on the page.  But nevertheless, the image seems to be "stuck" on the page, in front of the accordian feature, and therefore showing on all three tabs.
    How am I not targeting the placement of those images correctly? There just aren't that many options for me to screw up, it's a simple tabbed panel, that's all!
    Help please.
    Barbara

    Are you using the latest version of Muse/Air?
    The borders of the Content Area of a tab gets highlighted as soon as you drag over an element over it so it is very unlikely that something like this could happen. However, I believe it could be due to messed up Layers configuration as the only way I could reproduce this problem is through moving the image into a layer above a layer that contains the Tabbed panel or in case of just one layer, you might have the image at the very top.

  • Placing an image in Indesign CS5- Previews are slow

    I have a customer with identical intel MacPros, 10.5.8 OSX, 8GB RAM and running CS5.
    Whenever they go to PLACE an image in either InDesign or Illustrator the preview window that comes up takes up to 65 seconds for a preview to appear in the window. These are images(TIFFs or EPS) that are over 200MB.
    What I've done so far:
    Timed image preview when placing an image from server or off of desktop- No speed difference in showing the preview.
    Took my MacBook Pro and tried to place the images- Immediate preview, no matter the size of the image. Desktop and over the network.
    Started their MacPros up in target disk mode- Launched InDesign from their computer- No problem.
    Started my MacBook Pro in target disk mode- Launched InDesign from my computer- Same speed issues with preview appearing when placing an image.
    Replaced their current video cards with accelerated high end graphic cards. - No performance increase. When previewing a placed image, still very slow.
    None of my other customers have this issue. Any clues????

    There have been sporadic reports that changing the preference for live screen drawing to delayed from immediate has helped other issues such as this.
    Try that first and let us know if it corrects the problem.

  • When placing an image in InDesign, it appears pixelated.  It is a 66mb file in a 6x9" document.

    I am new to InDesign, as I've been creating all my documents for print in Acrobat as a PDF.  When I am placing an image, it appears pixelated.

    Hi,
    This is an expected behavior, when you place an image in InDesign then it display the preview of the image however you this has no impact on the output unless the image placed is of low-resolution itself.
    In order to have good resolution of images, you may switch to View > Display Performance > High Quality.

  • Placing OS image and Data image on right partition

    Hi ,
    We are facing issue in placing right image at the right partition. 
    We have OS image and data image. We are formatting and partitioning HDD as 40% (OSDisk) and remaining 100% as (Data). Both paritioons are active and selected as primary. 
    Then in installing operating system step, i have selected place image based on variable 'OSDisk'
    and Data image is also slected to be placed based on variable 'Data'.
    TS finishes without any issues but when i login to the machine i can see that OSDisk has become 'D' Drive and Data Drive has become 'C' so it shows C drive with label as 'Data' and D drive is label as 'OSDisk'
    I want to place OS on C drive and Data drive should always be as 'D' drive.
    I have tried another method and this time i tried to install OS as 'place based on stored variable i.e. OSDisk but install data image as next available partition but with this placement OS never boot after restart and TS eventually fails. 
    My aim is to make 'C' drive contain OS image and 'D' Drive to containg  data image content and not the otherway around as it is happening with current test. 
    Any suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thanks. 
    Regards,

    Hi ,
    Yes it is Config manager 2012 R2 but image is actually not source media install.wim. It a custom captured image through MDT2013. Image has 1 partition only.
    However I tried the above solution but drive letters are still not coming correct for OSDisk and Data Drive. Data is coming on 'C' drive and OSDisk is coming at 'D' drive.

  • SOLVED!!!!!!!!!Placing an Image in original login.jsp

    Hi all,
    I solved the problem of placing an image in original login.jsp
    Hope this will be usefull for all who will be trying to edit the original longi.jsp:
    ====>Place your image in the following folder:
    C:\installations\Oracle_Infra(Your oracle_home)\portal\images
    you place your image some-where else it will not be displayed .....
    Hope this will be usefull!!!!
    Thanks & Regards,
    Mallikarjun

    Well, you are quite right to put images in this place.
    However, two points can be noted here:
    1. This works with the assumption that your portal repository is in the infra-database. in cases of customer databases, you may have other folders which would be able to run the images from a similar folder in their respective homes.
    2. Additionally, you can place your images anywhere on your servers and still have them working if you use an alias for the image folder location!
    hope that helps.
