Please incorporate the Crop & Erase facilities on Bitmap Images in the upcoming version of Illustrator CS7.
At first I was for Illustrator to have a page layout capability and made a feature request to that regard then I obtain Quark and came to the forum and thought well I have that capability and then I realized there were other users that needed Illustrator for layouts and so I backed users like Gary Newman who as i recalled were for multiple pages in Illustrator but I was against making Illustrator a page layout application since it was not designed for it but thought it should have a page making tool but thought it should be one that offer multiple size pages or if you wish multiple size documents within a document.
When they introduce artboards I pointed out that this tooll offered the possibility for a multiple page capability that was more than just pages since you could make pages or if you prefer different size doicuments within one document and then suggest the ability to ba able to name the artboards, like Letterhead, Envelope, Business Card, Mailing Label etc abnd the ability to rearrange them at the moment my most recent suggestion is Master Artboards.
The reason for artboards instead of just a page layout mechanism is one that already exist in ID and two the user of illustrator are artist that Illustrate or work with Illustration or artwork that is often used with ext and photos but are not necessarily page layout designers andmore than likely would employ the use of text to work with a specific Illustration or group of illustrations where the text and art might be integrated as a work into itself as opposed to an element on a page and that might often be the end design of that page. Such as a childrens book!
I was never opposed to the feature of being able to output pages from Illustrator I am opposed to amking it a page layout application and now tith the Cloud which will give Adobe the opportunity to build a modular suite of creation tools it will be even less necessary, the Multiple art feature will develop in my opinion and will include supoport for die cutting as well as packaging tools. Those tools will relate to Illustrator and may eventually give way to a new way to cross application tools.
The Future is coming soon at a Cloud near you, soon is like ten years or so.

Does anyone know why the delete and hide options are still missing in the crop tool option bar, despite having changed the background layer to a regular layer? Thanks!

"You totally lost me there, and I have no clue as to what your last question means."
"I think I now know what you mean."
Evidently language is of difficulty for you.
Perhaps the Oxford dictionary can provide you with your much needed “sensible, meaningful” content.
According to the Oxford dictionary, a dialogue is to "Take part in a conversation or discussion to resolve a problem." It also states that a dialogue is "A discussion between two or more people or groups, especially one directed toward exploration of a particular subject or resolution of a problem.”
That IS the inherent nature of posts. A conversation is reciprocation. Questions, followed by more questions.
It is not difficult to understand.
"how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers" is best actualized by simply asking.
Is it a Mac; is it not, etc.
That IS sufficient. That IS "quicker and better answers[ing]." That IS what a dialogue IS. And that IS actually what is "sensible," "meaningful," and "detailed."
The Oxford dictionary can best delineate and elucidate your lack of comprehension in what ACTUALLY “meaning” is.
As well as what is "sensible" AND "detailed."
By the way, am I being repetitive.
Still confused. Let the experts that do not require much explanation respond with "quicker and better answers" for both "sensible, complete" responses." They are not "lost," "blind," or provide "incomplete" drivel. -

Hi Obiee experts,
I have placed the images in below locations and these images are independent and has no reference to the employee id column in dimension table.but my client requires report with all the employees,with respect to the images.Could anybody can give me a solution for this.

Thanks in Advance
kumarHi Sreeni,
The images are stored with employee ids reference like 1234.jpg in the image location path, so will it be possible to call those images into the report with no relation at database level.
as you said in above mail even if if we cld try to store the images in oracle database with format like CLOB format the rpd will not support the datatype to bring to that report level.
Please let me know if you have any solution
Thanks in Advance

How do I keep only the cropped portion of a clip and trash the rest?
Before getting my new Macbook, I was using iMovie3. When I would crop a file, only the highlighted portion was kept and the rest of the clip was sent to the trash. With iMovie HD, it is my understanding when you crop a clip, the information outside the cropped area is stored somewhere - how do I send this unneeded portion of the clip to the trash? I have used up almost all the memory in my new computer and don't know how to free up space without deleting the entire clip.
Hi m
You can't: As standard. iMovie is a "*non destructive editor*" - means it stores
the Capture/Imported material in one place and Your cutting, editing etc. is just
a text document refering onto how this material is to be viewed.
Even if You only usesed one frame from an hour long import - all of it will be
saved for futhure changes. (1 hour = about 13Gb of space)
You can: Send movie back to Camera and a new miniDV tape. Then start a new
project from this - and delete Your old project.
This will free up space - but You lose the ability to adjust the prior editings,
texts and so on.
Alt is to save as full quality QT.mov and start a new project from this. Still
what's done is done - but You jump the Camera step. (I have the feeling of that
I get a quality loss this way - but several in this forum disagrees)
Advice:
1. Try to Capture/Import about what You need and not just dump in several hours of
material for a few minutes movie.
2. I use a hugh external FireWire hard disk (Mac OS Extended formatted) to store
my movie projects and a minimum of 25Gb free space on my internal (start-up) one.

What's the RIGHT way to draw an image in the upper left corner?
I have an NSView in a ScrollView and I'm trying to draw an image in it. The problem is that I want the upper left corner of the image locked to the upper left corner of the frame, instead of the lower left corner, which is what the View wants me to do. I will need to be able to zoom in and out, and rotate.
currently, I have a kludge of a system where I calculate how much I have to translate my image based on the size of the image and the size of the window. In order to do this, I needed to create an extra view outside the scrollview, so that I could get the size of the window, not including decorations. Then I can calculate the size of the view based on the size of the image and the size of the window, and based on THAT, I can figure out where to translate the image to.
My only other thought was to use the isFlipped: method, but that ends up reversing my image L-R which is bad.
Is there another way I should be doing this?
thanks.Ah, the problem is that the content view includes the control panel, and while I'm sure I can get access to the control panel, and find out it's size, and then calculate everything off that, it becomes messy, and my way is easier, and no more messy.
And I never said this was HARD. I have already DONE it. It's just ugly, and I'm wondering if there is a better way to do it. Translating between coordinate systems is normal, but changing lower left to upper left origin is an artifact of the Mac's history with PDF and PS.
If the way I'm doing it is the accepted normal way, then fine, just tell me that. -
After downloading some 60 images from camera to iPad, I was "scrolling" down to select the last images, and inadvertently touched the "Delete" button that appears at the top right of the screen, when the "Select" option is chosen. I did not notice the warning "Delete 60 Images?", and continued scrolling down, when my finger touched the warning message. All my precious images were instantly deleted from the camera The sensitive touch screen feature makes this a real problem. Apple should "fix" this unacceptable feature, surely! I suggest that the images on the camera memory card should not be able to be deleted from the iPad, and this shpuld require to be done using the camera controls only. Similarly, the "Delete" or "Keep" options that appear after importing a selection from the camera, should NOT allow the images on rthe camera to be deleted, but only the imported (downloaded) images on the iPad. This unnecessary option could easily delete precious images from the camera!
Apple should remove the option to delete images from the camera, and the iPad touch screen commands should olny delete images on the iPad. (Alternatively, the "delete option should be on a separatly accessed "page".)
Surely enough users of the "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" will agree with the above?No, I don't agree. Whenever you connect a camera to a computer you are given the opportunity to delete the photos on the camera after downloading in precisely the same way the iPad does this. The fact that you touched Delete and then ignored the Warning doesn't change anything.
I've loaded thousands of photos on my IPad and never have had that problem.
Don't blame a moment of carelessness on your device.
If you want to make such a suggestion to Apple use http://apple.com/feedback -

I was informed that Firefox 6 for windows cannot yet support the Ancestry Image viewer, an add-on i use frequently. The loss of this facility would be a greater inconvenience than remaining with the older version
So, since i'm dependent on the progress of the Image viewer compatibility development before i can upgrade, it is irritating to be constantly reminded by Firefox update popups. Can they be switched off till such times as the Viewer is compatible with Firefox 6?I am unwilling to attempt navigation away from these sites. The pop-ups that occur on the attempt to leave a site or to close the browser are exit traps offering incentive to stay.
Once upon a time, when the internet was less dangerous, I would be willing to close the exit pop-ups. Now, after twice being infected with malware trying to close the pop-ups, I now force close whichever browser I am using.
Recently, I clicked on the red X to close one pop-up, and it installed a trojan that I had to pay to be removed. When I clicked on 'Leave' in another exit pop, it didn't exit and it turned out I was giving permission to run a script file. Now that criminals have learned these exit pop-ups can be used to force a click action, the sites using them have become dangerous.
If I force the browser to close using Task manager, Please tell me how to stop FireFox from sending me directly back to the same site because it mistakenly believes it crashed when it did not. I forced it to close because I was on a site that had taken control of my browser and was not allowing me to leave the site.
No other browser sends me back to the potentially dangerous sites. I prefer Firefox, but the new version must have a setting that allows me to get safely away from a problem site? -
How can i see the previews of a folder's images from the Thumbnail View?
I mean, in windows XP if you set the Thumbnail View, inside the icon of the folder you can see the preview of the images inside ( like this http://mowd.idv.tw/LonghornPDC/folder_preview.JPG )...
Is there a way to do it on Mac OS X? Maybe some plug-in, some file manager: anything...i often have to check out thousands of photos to find the reference for an illustration, and it's pretty frustrating having to open up every folder...
Thanks in advance
iMac 24" Mac OS X (10.4.9)but none of these two options allows me to see a folder's images BEFORE opening it...
You want to go back and try that again... just right click on the folder - you don't have to open it - and choose 'Show In PicturePopPro2'.
Check out the icons on the menu bar - you can get a contact sheet view, move from shot to shot using the arrow keys... it'll do what you want.

Hi,
In Windows 8, 8.1, User can use Microsoft Account to login system. This account can be use to sync its user setting, profile, such as background, IE history. that's to say, when you login another Windows 8 or 8.1 system, If your computer connected to Internet,
it would sync your User setting and profile to this second system.

Using a script to get the color of a colorized Black & White Bitmap image
I've been running into this wall for quite some time and would greatly appreciate any help that can given for it.
I have an Illustrator script that runs inside of a BridgeTalk session within an InDesign script. Yeah, it's complicated. The upshot is that the Illustrator part opens up an EPS file, looks through all objects on a certain layer in that file, and returns an array of the colors used in it. So, it looks at fill colors, stroke colors, gradient stops, etc. One of the biggest stumbling blocks (next to PlugIn Items, which I'll ask about in a separate post) is getting the color of raster images.
Most raster images, I realize, are going to be CMYK or RGB images, but our company mostly deals with either Grayscale images or Black & White Bitmaps that are embedded in the EPS file. Those two allow the ability to colorize them by simply selecting them and then choosing a color, such as a spot PANTONE color from one of their color books.
Now, I need the script to read the color that the raster image has been colorized with. This works okay for images that have a GrayScale color space, as the script just looks at Colorant[0] of that image. However, I run into a problem with Black & White Bitmap images. Here's a piece of code that I try to make work with an EPS file that has a raster image:
var document = app.activeDocument;
for (var i = 0; i < document.layers[0].pageItems.length; i++) {
// Stepping through each item on the layer.
var currentItem = document.layers[0].pageItems[i];
$.writeln("Current item is " + currentItem.typename);
$.writeln("Number of channels is " + currentItem.channels);
$.writeln("Color Space is " + currentItem.imageColorSpace);
$.writeln("Colorized Grayscale? " + currentItem.colorizedGrayscale);
$.writeln("Number of Colorants: " + currentItem.colorants.length);
for (var j = 0; j < currentItem.colorants.length; j++)
$.writeln("Colorant number " + j + " is " + currentItem.colorants[j]);
$.writeln("Its parent is " + currentItem.parent);
$.writeln("Parent's typename is " + currentItem.parent.typename);
This code runs successfully on an Illustrator file that has a Black & White Bitmap image on the top layer, but if you try and run it, you'll see the problem: Even if you've colorized your Bitmap image with a PANTONE spot color (and the script even returns "true" on the line "Colorized Grayscale?"), Colorant number 0 is "Gray". It should be the spot color assigned, not "Gray".
Can anyone please help me figure out how to get the script to recognize the actual colorant of a Black & White Bitmap image in Illustrator?If you're a professional photographer with 50,000 pictures stored now and more coming all the time, you need to forget about using iPhoto and get yourself some professional-quality digital asset management software. iPhoto is not meant for people like you, and instead of providing a simple, elegant one-stop answer to all your needs, iPhoto is actually complicating your life.
You need an application that will:
- catalog ALL your images and keep track of where they are, no matter how many DVDs, folders, partitions or hard drives they're spread over;
- display thumbnails of ALL of them, even when the DVD that contains them is not present in any drive, so you can select all the ones you want for a project;
- find and copy (or export) the originals of all the files you've selected in the browser window, even if it means prompting you to insert the necessary DVDs for all of them.
I suggest Googling "digital asset management software Macintosh" and seeing what turns up. I used to use an old version of Extensis Portfolio, and even that would have been better for your purposes than iPhoto is. -
How do I change the look of the cropping tool
How do I change the look of the cropping tool
What do you mean, "change the look"? Please be specific.
What do you want the crop tool to "look" like?
Yes, the crop tool is different than it used to be. But it works just as well as it always did. Instead of moving the crop over the timage, now move the image. Use the edge handles to adjust the crop size. Alternatively, set the crop tool to work in various ways by adjusting it in the control bar. (Size and Proportions, Rotate Crop, Straighten Image, Crop Options, etc.)
Alternatively, you can set the Crop Tool to have "classic" behavior, also via the control bar. -

Is there a way to maximize the crop box?
Terms: I consider a crop box maximized when it is as large as it can be without exceeding the image size in either dimension. (For an unconstrained crop, a maximized crop box contains the entire image.)
When I first select the new crop tool, it is maximized. If I change the crop box, the only ways I have found to get it maximized again are to cancel the crop and restart -- or zoom in to the pixel level and adjust the crop boundaries.
Am I missing some magic incantation?
(This 'maximize crop' feature is one we have -- and use -- in some other image processing software.)Howard and Charles -- Thanks. The reset crop box, whether invoked from the options bar or from the right-click menu, does neither what I wanted, nor what I expected. (That's not a bad thing; just curious.)
I set the crop box to 13in by 19in then open a landscape image. It opens with the crop box in place, giving me a portrait crop out of the middle of the image. I rotate the image using the mouse and delayed shift key so it's in portrait orientation. The crop box is giving me the middle of the image (not the whole thing). Fit on screen lets me see the entire image but obviously doesn't alter the crop area.
Resetting the crop box returns the image to landscape orientation. (Not the result I wanted.) Here's the quite unexpected part: The reset cleared my crop box specifications. After resetting, the crop box has been set to unconstrained and is now set to the full size of the image.
I don't consider that a bug -- just a design choice.
Within my experience, the Crop tool is the only one with this kind of "reset" function. In the classic crop tool, we had the CLEAR button. The Reset function is implemented the same way. The difference is that in previous versions, the CLEAR button isn't available once you have drawn the crop box. Even in CS6, I haven't found any other tool with a Reset option. So there is no consistency issue. How Abobe chooses to implement the reset function for the crop tool will become the standard.
And the more I think about this, the more I think Adobe should revisit this decision. I think it would be more useful -- and more reasonable -- for Reset to return the tool settings to whatever the user had specified at the beginning of the crop operation.
Here's what, to me, is an anomoly in the current implementation: The Reset command doesn't reset ALL of the tool settings. Reset does not affect "Delete Cropped Pixels" or "Use Classic Mode" or the View setting.
