Placing image in specified area

How can I place an image in custom area, for example just aside of logo image?
Is there a way to specify width height where could the image be placed?

You can control the height and width of an image using the attribute in the html img tag. have a look st some html tutorials on the web.
You can customise your page or region template to control how the page is displayed. ie add an img tag to it.

Placing Images In Illustrator Are Blurry.

Hello I have this problem in CS5 that any type of image or line art are always blurry. All my work is for print and perhaps just the preview is blurry but I am afraid that printing will be bad.
Most graphics I bring in are from Photoshop CS5. I make sure they are 300DPI to start and recently learned they should not be in RGB mode but CMYK.
The images I should also mention when placed are very small and I have to scale them to be the correct size. I do not know why they do not place as their original size. So basically it is small size and blurriness.
Any help regarding this matter is appreciative. I am new at Illustrator and want to learn more from it since it seems like a great tool to use for printing.
Thanks,
Victor

I believe the solution to your problem starts in photoshop. Most printers require resolution to be 2X the lpi (lines per inch) and the most common line screen is 150 lpi (133 or 175 are the next most common), so hence 300 dpi (dots per inch) standard resolution requirement. Open your image in photoshop >> Image >> image size >> uncheck resample image >> change your resolution to 300 dpi if it is not and save. I bolded that cause thath setting is very important, and you will need to become intimately familiar with hwo everthing in image size works. This unchecking will not add or remove pixels, but will adjust the size of your image if you change to 300 dpi.
Now when you place the imahe in ilustrator, you will know that your image is exactly 300 dpi. If you scale your image smaller, no problem your effective resolution will be >300dpi adn that never hurts. If you scale your image larger in Illustrator, then you know that your resolution will be less than 300 dpi. You can now better assess the quality of your image reproduction.

Placing Images on Content Areas in Text

Hello;
I'd like to customize the position of an image on my content area.
Adding text- and image-items is no problem, but I can't customize the position of the image so that it is diplayed e.g. on the right-hand side of the text.
Adding a text-item and specifying an image at secondary item attributes is also no problem, but when choosing the display option "Item Displayed Directly In Folder Area", the text is displayed but NOT the image...
Any suggestions?
Thank you for reply (please also to my email: [email protected]),

What kind of item are you adding? Is it a text item or an image item?

Script to report on placed images

Does anyone know of a script to trawl through folders of files - or a single file and I'll adapt - and report on the placed images, whether they are embedded or linked.
AppleScript preferable, but JavaScript very much welcome.
Thanks in advanced.
RegardsCraig.

Sorry in advance for the javascript. How about something like:
app.linkstotal = 0
for (i=0;app.Documents.length;i++) {
document = app.Documents[i];
linkeditems = document.placedItems.length;
if (linkeditems > 0) {
   app.linkstotal = app.linkstotal + linkeditems;
   alertmessage = "Document " + document.name + "contains " + linkeditems + "linked files.";
   alert(alertmessage);
alertmessage = "Files contain " + app.linkstotal + "linked files.";
alert(alertmessage);
Embedded images aren't counted as placedItems. This script only reads open documents, but you could modify it to open and check each file in a directory. Also, it would probably be best to feed that alert message to an output file instead of popping one up for each file.
Does that help at all?

CS6 InDesign - Default display is high-quality. Four placed images are Illustrator files. Three images look the way they should - high-quality. One image looks pixelated. Why?

InDesign CS6 - Default display is high-quality. All four placed images are Illustrator files. Three images look the way they should - high-quality. One image looks pixelated. Why?

Not sure if this will help, but what is your inDesign file's "Transparency Blend Space" set to? It's under the edit menu.
Also, when you are placing your images, are you selecting "Show Import Options" and making any selections there?

Photoshop CS6 Mac: Placed images are not moveable

Anyone else have this bug? Placed images cannot be moved or transformed, at least initially. I am finding that after a period of time passes (half minute or more), the image is sometimes 'released' and is then transformable. But it can take a couple of minutes. Very bizarre.

What OS version and what are your Performance Preferences?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

Why are these placed images blurry??

I created an image in Photoshop that has: resolution 72 pix/in, 600 px by 800 px (about the average screen size of ereaders)
This is what the image looks like on Photoshop at 100% zoom: http://i.imgur.com/0dNU2lU.png
When I Place the jpg image in Indesign, it looks blurry and pixelated: like this
I looked on other similar threads from google, but it seems those people hadn't been using the correct resolution of 72 dpi. But my images in Photoshop ARE at 72 dpi. Is there anything else you would recommend to do? I would really appreciate any help!
Also, if it helps:
I'm working on an epub document with these settings: screenshot
This is what the frame fitting options window looks like when I select the image on Indesign: http://i.imgur.com/WqRxAaS.png

First off, for text like that youreally should just build the page in ID.
But to get the best preview, and that's what it it is, a preview, not the acutal pixels as you see in an editor like photoshop, use View > Display Performance > High Quality Display.

How to find out the Pixel Dimensions and Document Size of placed images?

Is it possible to find out the placed image details like Pixel Dimensions(Width,Height) Document Size(Width,Height) in illustrator through scripting. Kindly advice me with some examples.

http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbaa316.59b84fd8
I hope the snippet therein will get you started.
But after all, when you place an image via pi=layer.placedItems.add() it should pop in with its default dimensions, so that you have pi.height and pi.width ready.
Is this what you are aiming at?

SCRIPT TO IMPORT MULTIPLE PLACED IMAGES..AND OUTPUT MULTIPLE IMAGES TO SINGLE PDF.

Anyone got a script to import multiple placed images into CS4? or is this possible in CS5?
and can we output multiple layers into a single PDF in illustrator? Or multiple layers into single JPEGS from illustrator with one command instead of individually saving out each page... would be a huge time saver for me.
Currently I output each completed layer individually and then right click those outputted jpegs in their output folder and choose "combine supported files into acrobat..." to make a single acrobat file..
I`d also like to be able to CTRL click multiple layers and go save as... only those layers get saved out...
And so adding something in the Save for PDF output dialogue box to save layers to multiple pages would be a helpful time saver..

In CS 4 and CS 5 you can drag and drop fro m the finder or the Bridge, and I guess any other similar type viewer, multiple number of image files to a document. You can configure the bridge in such a way as to allow you to see the Bridge and your document at the same time for this very purpose.
If you just drag and drop the files are linked if you drag while holding the shift key then the files will be embedded.
ID and PS CS 5 have a minibridge which works the sam way but is an actually panel and will stay in the front.
I separate the images but they import one on top of another.

What is the file format of the vector you downloaded? Custom Shapes have a .PSP extension, and are placed according to this table.
Preference filenames and locations in Photoshop CC
They will then be loadable from the Custom Shapes drop down — click on the cog icon > Load shape > Find your downloaded vector.
Once placed in the image, it will appear as a Shape layer, and can be edited with the Path, and Direct Selection tools (black and white arrows on the toolbar)

How do I align a placed image in a frame using JS?

I am new both to javascript and to scripting for InDesign, so please bear with me on this question.
I am trying to align an image in a graphic frame so it aligns to the top right corner of the frame.
I can do this using the InDesign interface by following these steps:
1. Create a rectangular frame.
2. Right-clicking the frame and selecting "Fitting > Frame Fitting Options."
3. Selecting the top-right square in the "Alignment" area of the Frame Fitting Options dialogue.
For me, this automatically aligns the image to the top right corner in the selected text frame, even if there is a placed item in the frame.
I am trying to apply this to the actual image frame using the following code where "modelFrame" is the rectangle that is the parent of the placed image:
modelFrame.frameFittingOptions.fittingAlignment.anchorPoint = AnchorPoint.TOP_RIGHT_ANCHOR;
I am not getting an error, but I am also not getting the desired results (in fact, it doesn't change anythign at all). What am I doing wrong?

Hi lanejd,
I have got the same issue as you but had just found the solution. Please see below:
modelFrame.frameFittingOptions.fittingAlignment.anchorPoint = AnchorPoint.TOP_RIGHT_ANCHOR;
This will only set the properties for the Frame Fitting Options. You will need to call a method/function. Add the below line to your script and it will execute the Frame fitting Options.
modelFrame.fit(FitOptions.applyFrameFittingOptions);
Hope this help!

Add Strokes to Placed Images in Illustrator

Hi All,
I'm having a problem to add a stroke "frame" around my tiff image in Illustrator. My image is a "traced picture" from Photoshop. I used the following technique:-
Technique: Use an Effect
Choose File > Place and select an image to place into Illustrator document.
Choose File > Place and select an image to place into Illustrator document.
The image is selected. Open Appearance panel and from the Appearance panel flyout menu, choose Add New Stroke.
With the Stroke highlighted in the Appearance panel, choose Effect > Path > Outline Object.
However, the result I got was the stroke around the image NOT the frame around the image.
How do I achieve it. Any help and tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Technique #1: Use a Mask
This technique requires Illustrator CS3 and works only when your keyline will be rectangular in shape.
Choose File > Place and choose an image to place into your Illustrator document. You can either Link or Embed the image. Once you've chosen the image, click the Place button.
The image is selected (if your image already exists in your document, select it now), so if you look in your Control panel at the top of the screen, you'll see a button labeled "MASK". Click on it. This creates a mask at the exact bounds of the image.
Press the "D" key for Default. This gives the mask a black 1 pt stroke attribute. Adjust the stroke per your design needs.
NOTE: An additional benefit to this method of using a mask is that you now have the elements in place to simulate a "frame and image" paradigm like InDesign. Once you've created your mask, you can decide to "crop" your image by double clicking anywhere on the photo. This will put you into Isolation Mode. Now click on the frame edge and resize at will. When you're done, double click outside the image to exit isolation mode and continue working. This method works wonderfully when you're using the Selection tool (black arrow) and have the Bounding Box option turned on (in the View menu).
Technique #2: Use an Effect
At first, it may seem that applying a keyline with the use of an Effect is a tedious process. But we all know that once we've applied an effect, we can store it as a Graphic Style, at which point applying our keyline will become a single click. Go ahead, ask me why Adobe doesn't ship Illustrator with such an effect as a default setting in the NDPs (New Document Profiles). Go ahead, ask me why Adobe doesn't allow us to assign keyboard shortcuts to styles like InDesign does. I don't have answers to either of those questions (sorry). But let's get on with the styles, shall we?
There are two separate effects that we can use, and each provides a different benefit.
Choose File > Place and select an image to place into your Illustrator document. You can either Link or Embed the image. Once you've chosen the image, click the Place button.
The image is selected (or if your image already exists in your document, select it). Open your Appearance panel and from the Appearance panel flyout menu, choose Add New Stroke. We can't see the stroke yet, because all we have is an image. But we'll change that in short order.
With the Stroke highlighted in the Appearance panel, choose Effect > Convert to Shape > Rectangle. Check the Preview button, select the Relative option, and set both the Extra Width and Extra Height to zero (0). (Be careful not to press Tab after you enter the second value, or it will switch back to Absolute.) Click OK to apply the effect. Style the stroke attribute to match your design preference.
Now make this easier to apply in the future. With the object still selected, open the Graphic Styles panel and click the New Graphic Style button at the bottom of the panel. Give the style an appropriate name. If you then add this style to your NDPs, it will be readily available in all new files that you create.

My InDesign program is printing my placed images lighter than illustrator.

I am trying to print a colour logo in Indesign with black type on my inkjet printer. The colours are appearing fine on screen and so is the black but when I print everything is washed out. I tried just printing a black box and it appears black on screen but in print it is grey. I have tried changing the preferences Appearance of Black to rich and accurate but that did not make a difference. Do I need to do anything in color management I am using Indesign CS2. How can I solve this problem?

Acrobat worked, thanks for that advice. I set my Convert to Profile under the Edit Menu to Color
Match RGB. That helped a little bit but it is not printing like the
pdf. I would like to get this problem resolved. I normally use
illustrator most of my work. But I would like to have InDesign working
properly as I need it to do other jobs.
Take Care,
Jen

Jen,
This is a problem that you have no time to fool with, correct?
When printing from InDesign and all looks hopeless, export to PDF and print from the PDF.
Why?
I don't know for sure but it seems all printers made recently accept PDF better than straight from InDesign. It could be the printer driver and it could be InDesign but you don't have time to mess with it now. Wait for some free time to sort it out, but for now output to PDF and print from Adobe Reader or Acrobat.

Newly placed images not showing up and Text Styles not previewing correctly

I was playing around with defining new text styles and they
looked OK in Dreamweaver but when previewed in browser everything
was in Times. I deleted all the pre-set styles trying to fix the
problem out why when I realized now newly placed images don't show
up in preview, but old images will. I can copy and paste an
existing image and it will show, but not if I place it new. When
trying to Manage Site, I kept getting a "Home page is not on
this...." message. Please help me figure out what I have
done!!!

>Home page is not on this...
Several possibilities spring to mind the first of which is
you haven't
defined your site properly or at all
>previewed in browser everything was in Times
a link to your stylesheet has an incorrect path
>realized now newly placed images don't show up in
preview,
they should, defined site again?
If you have a URL we could see the code?
If not can you post the code here, otherwise these are all
guesses

Placing Images (Screen Caps) for Callouts - Best Practice?

Illustrator CS6, Windows 7
I'm placing screen captures (screen images from software) in my artwork files to add callouts and create illustrations for a user manual.
The machine I'm capturing on has a screen resolution set at 1920 x 1080 (required for software). I'm using Snagit and capturing the screens, saving files, then placing in Illustrator. I've been using images minimum 300 dpi and never upsizing in Illustrator. Still I think my results could be better.
In the past I've used .jpg as my export filetype for placing into Illustrator. But, recent reads of postings in this community lead me to believe my practice might be flawed.
Question: What is considered best practice for placing images from screen capture (or any source) in Illustrator? What file type from capture will get me the clearest and most adaptable results?
My Illustrator file color mode is CMYK and my other art and callouts supporting the screen cap are working great.
I'm creating the artwork for import to Framemaker and creating a PDF for online and print.

What I mean is; what is the user looking at, and what are you training on?
For example, if the application involves medical imaging, and part of your documentation covers something like evaluating medical images in the application, that would probably be a far more color-critical scenario than an application in which the user just views and manipulates data.
Generally, you don't need anything like 300 PPI for screen captures in software documentation. The whole intent is for the image to look like the screen you are documenting, which is something like 72 or 96 PPI at actual size. You might downscale a screen capture as much as 50%, but at that size, the reader is viewing the application's text (including menus, etc.) at half the size as viewed in the application, which is assumed to be sized for comfortable reading. Sharpness is good. You don't want the images to become blurred in pursuit of completely needless "resolution."
Also generally speaking, software screenshots are not usually color-critical. Placing (even pasting from SnagIt) directly into the page layout app is usually just fine. PostScript knows how to separate RGB images. Such things have been done since long before anyone sweated blood over "color management." Assuming your application interface is not using garish color (which would be poor interface design; it's tiring), I dare say the conversion of RGB screenshots to CMYK at the imagesetter or press would be fine.
How is the manual going to be printed? Unless you're talking about a large press runs, nowadays software documentation (subject to frequent updates) is often printed on on-demand presses (think glorified digital color copiers), not sheetfed presses. With software documentation, you're not usually talking coffee-table collector's books. (The exception would be something like a book on color-correction in Photoshop; thus my first question.)
I routinely paste screenshots from SnagIt directly into InDesign pages to document software applications, and add the callouts in InDesign. Only when I need some special graphics (swooping arrows, etc.) do I assemble the callouts to the screenshots in Illustrator; and even when I do that, I also typically paste the SnagIt captures directly in to AI.
Keeping your callouts native to the page layout program also better facilitates language translation, when you have to outsource that.
