Placing Images within a View in XCode

Hello, I am new to XCode and Mac Application design, but I need to code a program where a user can click with the mouse and an image will appear where the user has clicked. My main issue (I think) is writing code that places these images in the view as the user clicks. Could someone help me with this? I am currently using XCode 4.

Hi Mohler,
PAL is ultimately some set of database procedures . If you want to use it as HANA View, you may need to right scripted views and consume the same.
Analytic views are typically defined on at least one fact table that contains transactional data. Using analytic views you can create a selection of measures—sometimes referred to as key figures—, add attributes and join attribute views. Analytic views leverage the computing power of SAP HANA to calculate aggregate data, e. g., the number of cars sold per country, or the maximum power consumed per day.

Placing Images within Content

Is this the correct method for placing images within the content?
<img src= "img/204point.jpf" alt="204 Point System" />
or is there a better method using CSS?
This is not a background image, it is just an image amongst the text.

Yes, that's the correct way, although .jpf is not a recognized extension for images. I assume it's a typo for .jpg. Also, the width and height of the image should be included. Dreamweaver should detect these automatically for you.
Images are considered inline elements, so you normally need to use CSS to float them left or right to flow the text around them. Create the following style rules in your style sheet:
.floatleft {
float: left;
margin-right: 8px;
.floatright {
float: right;
margin-left: 8px;
Select the image, and apply floatleft or floatright from the Class menu in the Property inspector.

Moving images within Grid View in LR3beta2

Frustrated. In LR3Beta1 I could manually move and place images within Grid View or from the slide view at bottom for purposes of sorting "similar subject" content within a specified Text/Attribute naming. All of this was accomplished from the Parent folder, with no need for drilling down the Tree.
Now, since installing LR3Beta2 I can no longer manually move (sort) within Grid View...unless I am in the lower most folder of the tree. This change is not practical since a tree folder may not match the relevance of my specified Text/Attributes.
Can anyone tell me what I may be doing wrong, or is the ability to manually sort from Parent folder no longer an option?

Here's an example of how I catalog/label/sort my images...
Architectural images project - 3 locations of shootng, 4 areas of focus: Doors, Windows, Facades, Walls
So, I may have 20 images w/both a door and a facade in the shot, 20 images with a window and a door, etc. I prefer to Keyword all of the images as Architectural, and then Keyword those applicable to Doors, Windows, Facades, Walls, etc.
Now, suppose those all go into a folder labeled Architecture.
The next week I get an assignment for Urban settings. It may include shops, churches, etc. However, within those, I decide to Keyword (where appropriate) Doors, Windows, Churches, Shops, etc. That project goes into a folder labeled Urban Settings.
Now, let's say I have a request specifically for "Doors". Now, those Doors are spread across multiple folders at this point so I have no opportunity to manually sort all of the doors my similar content if they fall into multiple folders. Doesn't matter that I have pulled up Doors through Text, I still cannot sort them by similar style, shape, color, etc since they are spread across multiple folders.
In the 1st beta, I could slice and dice a hundred ways to arrive at a final view and then...sort those so that they always appeared that way whenever I called them up again. Didn't matter that they were in multiple folders. That was extremely useful and...sweet.
Any ideas?

Offset placed image within rectangle

I need the code that allows me to offset image within a rectangle. Hopefully within properties as I place image on imageFrame. I've googled for quite a while. All help appreciated.
set filePath to alias "Mac_3a:Users:kevin:Documents:DustBin:20080807:theImage.pdf"
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3" to tell document 1
set imageFrame to make rectangle at page 1 with properties {geometric bounds:{0, 0, 5, 7}}
place filePath on imageFrame with properties {absolute horizontal scale:30, absolute vertical scale:30}
end tell

This code works, if slightly inaccurate in placement. Please notice the commented code showing an error when attempting to retrieve geometric bounds of the image within the rectangle. Any thoughts on that error?
set frameBounds to {0.0, 0.0, 11.0, 8.5}
set linkPath to alias "Mac_3a:Users:kevin:Pictures:Faux Fur.jpg"
set linkOffset to {-1, -3, 0, 0}
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
tell document 1
tell page 1
set imageFrame to make rectangle with properties {geometric bounds:frameBounds}
set framedImage to place linkPath on imageFrame with properties {absolute horizontal scale:100, absolute vertical scale:100, geometric bounds:linkOffset}
-- tell framedImage to get geometric bounds -- this code errors
end tell
end tell
end tell

Can I make the summary report tabulate multiple sheets placed within the "view responses" area?

Can I make the summary report tabulate multiple sheets placed within the "view responses" area?

Hmmm...I thought this tool was going to be a good replacement for Survey Monkey. I was wrong. I definitely need a way to tabulate responses from multiple surveys so that I can roll them up by region or state or district. Do you have any suggestions of how I could accomplish this in AFC?

White lines appear around placed images in printing.

A native Illustrator document with placed Photoshop (both CS6) images produces whites lines around the placed images when printed. The Illustrator document does not show white lines on screen. Nor does the PDF (Acrobat X Pro) generated from the IA doc show white lines when viewed on screen. When the document goes to press, the printed product show the white lines:
See upper left image and lower right image-note: other images are not affected. Both both are native Photoshop images, placed on a gradient in IA. Perhaps the PDF settings: "Adobe PDF Preset" or "Standard" are not chosen correctly? Why the white lines?

You screenshot shows a modified Illustrator Default preset with Compatability to Acrobat 4. That setting always flattens transparency which is what I would suggest avoiding first.
Note the Warnings summary alerts that transparency will be flattened.

Note how the window signals a Warning (Warnings: Saving this file with Compatibilty set to Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) requires items with transparency to be flattened.) Could this be a warning that produces the stitch lines in the actual printing?
Yes

After researching....
Discussion seems to indicate seeing 'stiching lines' on screen; sometimes in the designing application; or in the generated PDF. My instances are visible only in printing-in two of the four images.
1. Transparency. Is this an automatic occurence in generating the PDF? Can I turn it on/off? (The 'Save Adobe PDF' window that allows changes to: General, Compression, Marks & Bleeds,Output,, Advanced.....)
Transparency is part of some design and all Effects. Note that you can change a color by using a tint or by setting it's transparency. Many times a tint will suffice. It looks the same and has the same values.
Your original screenshot apears to use images with clipping paths. (Full disclosure - I should know this, but don't...I expect) clipping paths require/invoke the transparent background to place the images within the colored area.
You cannot get around transparency but flattening converts vector objects to raster objects (when transparency touches/abuts/interacts with raster images).
You should be able to use the Illustrator Default, High Quality Print or PDFX-4 to maintain live transparency
2 very old (2004) Adobe white papers, not too legnthy which I can shed some light. Note - PDFX-4 superceeds all of these.

Moving images within projects - random placement

I have tried to move images within a project, slotting them in a different order than shot. All of a sudden the images are not going where directed - they appear to be placed at random within the project. This is driving me crazy now.
Has anyone else experienced this? Retarting doesn't seem to help. Maybe I need to shut down....

Thanks for your reply. I guess I mistakenly thought that if you created an album within a project, any images placed in the album would also become part of the project. So what's the best way to sub-divide or categorize images within a project? For example, if I have a project called "architecture" and within that project I have images of "commercial" and "residential".
I thought if I had a project called "architecture" and inside that I put two albums called "commercial" and "residential", I could drag groups of images into the albums and still see all images by viewing the project.
Thanks again,
Andrew

Photoshop-When opening image without tab view, image opens with only a portion in view

I having an issue with CC.
When electing in the preferences to not open image in Tabs. The images open with only about 25% of the image area showing. Forcing me to (command) 0 for full to screen preview or (command) +/- to see the image.
I am not talking about seeing the image at 100% resolution just the entire image within the floating window without having to command before view.
Sidenote: Adobe Customer Service is all based in India. I spent 4 hours on the phone only to hear that this is that way photoshop works.
There would be no logical explanation for this. Since the first version of Photoshop this has not been the case.
I think this should be called view porn with wife in the room mode. Other than that I see no point.
Can anyone help?

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.

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.

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.

Problem with photoshop automatically resizing placed images

Hi,
I have PS6. I have images that are 144x100 px. When I use file>place ps resizes the image to 108x75. I can't figure out how to make ps quit resizing my pictures. Anybody know?
Thanks

When Pasting, Dragging, copying and placing an image Photoshop will copy all of the image being duplicated original pixels to preserve the image pixel quality the image quality. If the receiving document has a different DPI resolution the image may look a different size in the receiving documents because of the number of pixels added to the document that has a lower or higher dpi resolution. If the image is being placed in if the image pixels exceeds the receiving documents canvas size. Photoshop may scale the smart object layer to fit within the canvas that depends on the users Photoshop's preference. All of the images original pixels are still there in the embedded object. In my Photoshop Collage Scripts I always transform all placed images to 100% size incase Photoshop scaled the placed image. For you can not get the scale percent Photoshop used. Once I know I have the image at 100% size I can use the layer bounds to get the actual number of pixels there are in the placed image. Once I know that I can calculate the scale I need to use to resize the image to fit the area being populated in the collage template. Once resized I center it into place and mask off any excess image pixels.

Rasterize settings for placed images?

How do I place images in AI to make sure that they come in at a high quality? Is there some setting that controls the rasterize settings?
Thanks.

Placed images are placed at whatever resolution the original file is at. You can't directly control the ppi of any placed image.
If you are using raster effects (drop shdows, glows, etc) or are specifically rasterizing content within AI, you'll want to set the Document Raster Effects Settings (in the Effects menu) to "high" or 300ppi.

Placing Image - 'Sort by' problems

I am having an issue with my image placement in all adobe programs.
When I go to 'place' an image within photoshop or indesign, my file directory appears and is sorted by last modified. I need it sorted by name (which is usually the default). I can change the 'sort by' option, but the next time I got to place an image, it reverts back to the last modified sort. I am placing hundreds of images in this document and it would be must easier if my images were sorted by name everytime I went to place an image.
All my programs outside of Adobe sort by name by default, and my Adobe programs use to. I can not figure out what is causing this problem, and my coworkers computer seems to be working just fine! Please let me know if you have any suggestions!
Thanks!

If you're using CS2 you're in luck. Look at the lower left of the File - Open dialog. Do you see a button entitled [ Use Adobe Dialog ] or [ Use OS Dialog]? If so, try clicking it. I'm betting the other form of the dialog will remember the file sort that you like.
There are RUMORS that one can cause the saved sort order in an XP OS dialog to change by changing it manually (clicking on the filename heading), then holding down the Ctrl key and canceling the dialog, but I personally have not seen this work. It may be one of those old wive's tales.

Sorting of images within a stack

When working with stacks some strange things happen:
- When trying to duplicate one image out of the stack into an album the whole stack is moved to the album. When I than delete this stack in the album the order of the images of the same stack in my projects is changed.
- When rejecting images within a stack my rejected images are not automatically moved to the rejected images folder. Instead these images stay in the stack even so they are marked as rejected.
- When sorting images within a stack by using different ratings and than trying to limit the image view by showing for instance only images with 3 stars or more nothing happens. Also showing rejected images only does not work within a stack. Instead showing images by rating is applied to the whole project and not only the stack
Do I do something wrong or is this a known apperture bug?
MBP Mac OS X (10.4.9)

David, your understanding (use) of stacks is causing a conflict. The whole idea is basically to group a series of similar images and choose the best one of that series, called the Pick. Then, within that series you can rank those images in an order of Pick to next best, and so on. You can view stacks open or closed - when closed, the Pick is the one on top.
Here's some info from the Help Menu that will help answer your questions:
Note: When you place a stack in a book album or web gallery or web journal album, Aperture displays the stack pick. If you drag a stacked image that is not the stack pick into the book or web gallery or web journal album, Aperture reminds you to select the stack pick. If you don’t want to place the pick in the album, but want to use a different version from within the stack, select the version you want and then make it the album pick by choosing Stacks > Set Album Pick.
Dragging Stacks
You can drag an entire stack to a new location, and you can drag specific images within a stack to a new location. When a stack is closed, dragging the stack moves the entire stack. When a stack is open, you can drag individual versions to new locations in the Browser. You can also drag images into a stack. If you drag a stacked image into a different project, however, the entire stack moves to the new location.
If you still want to be able to use a stacked image as you have stated, then take that image out of the stack, split the stack, or create a version of the image and remove it from the stack.
Take a quick refresher through the help menu - it will give you some further details and ideas so you can accomplish exactly what you need to do.
Hope that helps!!
