Problem Placing an Image

How do i place an image onto an illustrator page? I have a TIF image that i edited in photoshop and I'm trying to place on a 8.2x10.5 illustrator page. When i do this the image looks all pixely and weird (example photo below)
http://i45.tinypic.com/19b9jp.png
How can i solve this? Both images are 300dpi.
I would appreciate it if someone could help me out.

File>Place!
Are you scalintgg it up in Illustrator? If so that is not a good idea. Place it at 100% and leave if you need to enlarge i do so from the oringal file in Photoshop.
Also keep in mind that the magnificaion if set to an odd percentage will sometimes make it look pixelated even tthough it is high res image. Increase the magnification to say 200 or 300 and you will see the images is quite fine it is just the preview that looks pixelated here is a 300 ppi image placed in AI looks pixelated but look below when magnified 400% pretty clear and sharp but not pixelated that is what is hapening to you you zoomed out at an odd magnification and it just appears pixelated in the preview.
They're the same image

  • Problem placing Jpeg images

    Hi Group,
    I'm having a problem placing Jpeg images in DW CS3. Some come
    in and display
    themselves just fine. Others come in as what appears to be
    the file name
    displayed as a link, blue text and underlined. Previewed in a
    browser, when
    I click the link the message is:
    The image
    "file:///C:/Users/Bob/Documents/CUT/CSL%20Web/My%20Assets/Sandy-Kirk_Web.jpg"
    cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
    I've looked at the properties of these different images and
    dont have a clue
    what the problem is.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Bob

    Look at the line you pasted into your reply and note that
    it's a link
    pointing to your hard drive. Of course that will never work
    on the web.
    Such broken links are often the result of an improperly
    defined local site.
    What happens if you remove that image and insert it again,
    then save the
    page? Is the link still broken?

  • InDesign problems placing PhotoShop images

    For some unknown reason I cannot work up a new image in PhotoShop and then use the "PLACE" command to put it into InDesign.  I can "PLACE" older images, but not new ones.  What did I do wronmg?

    Need more information. What format are the images from Photoshop? What version of Photoshop? What version of InDesign?
    And what is the symptom of the problem? An error message? Misplaced content with visual anomalies? What?

  • Problem placing buttons on top of a background image

    My knowledge of Java isn't the greatest and I am currently having problems placing buttons on top of a background image within a JApplet (this is also my first encounter with Applets).
    I'm using a Card Layout in order to display a series of different screens upon request.
    The first card is used as a Splash Screen which is displayed for 5 seconds before changing to the Main Menu card.
    When the Main Menu card is called the background image is not shown but the button is.
    While the Applet is running no errors are shown in the console.
    Full source code can be seen below;

    1) When posting here, please use fewer comments. The comments that you have don't help folks who know Java read and understand your program and in fact hinder this ability, which makes it less likely that someone will in fact read your code and help you -- something you definitely don't want to have happen! Instead, strive to make your variable and method names as logical and self-commenting as possible, and use comments judiciously and a bit more sparingly.
    2) Try to use more methods and even classes to "divide and conquer".
    3) To create a panel with a background image that can hold buttons and such, you should create an object that overrides JPanel and has a paintComponent override method within it that draws your image using the graphics object's drawImage(...) method
    For instance:
    an image jpanel:
    import java.awt.Dimension;
    import java.awt.Graphics;
    import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
    import java.io.File;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.net.URISyntaxException;
    import java.net.URL;
    import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
    import javax.swing.JButton;
    import javax.swing.JPanel;
    public class BackgroundImage
        // **** this will have to be changed for your program:
        private static final String IMAGE_PATH = "../../m02/a/images/Forest.jpg";
        private BufferedImage myImage = null;
        private JPanel imagePanel = new JPanel()
            @Override
            protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
            {   // *** here is where I draw my image
                super.paintComponent(g);  // **** don't forget this!
                if (myImage != null)
                    g.drawImage(myImage, 0, 0, this);
        public BackgroundImage()
            imagePanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(600, 450));
            imagePanel.add(new JButton("Foobars Rule!"));
            try
                myImage = createImage(IMAGE_PATH);
            catch (IOException e)
                e.printStackTrace();
            catch (URISyntaxException e)
                e.printStackTrace();
        private BufferedImage createImage(String path) throws IOException,
                URISyntaxException
            URL imageURL = getClass().getResource(path);
            if (imageURL != null)
                return ImageIO.read(new File(imageURL.toURI()));
            else
                return null;
        public JPanel getImagePanel()
            return imagePanel;
    }and an applet that uses it:
    import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
    import javax.swing.JApplet;
    import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
    public class BackgrndImageApplet extends JApplet
        @Override
        public void init()
            try
                SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable()
                    @Override
                    public void run()
                        getContentPane().add(new BackgroundImage().getImagePanel());
            catch (InterruptedException e)
                e.printStackTrace();
            catch (InvocationTargetException e)
                e.printStackTrace();
    }

  • Problem placing images in InDesign 5.0

    I'm using InDesign 5.0 for a catalog project. On other catalogs I've placed hundreds of images without a hitch, but suddenly I am having this problem: After successfully placing several images in a document I get the spinning ball after selecting another image to place. It occurs after I've selected "Place" and have gone back to my InDesign doc. This problem began after I'd selected 25 images all at once and successfully placed them. After that I can't even select a single image without the spinning ball. I have to Force Quit and relaunch. I've tried restarting, shutting down for 20 seconds, making new documents (thought it might be a Save-As issue), but can't get more than a handful of images onto the layout before it has this problem again.

    Do you use Linotype Fontexplorer? I ask because the latest plugin update broke illustrator in a similar way, if you do, try disabling the plugin and see if the issue resolves

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Placed AI images not printing correctly?

  • 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.

  • Problems adding an image title?

    Hi,
    When I place an image in Muse I'm having problems adding an image title. When I Control click the image in Design view the choices I get at the bottom of the pop up menu are
    Edit original
    Edit Image Properties
    When I looked it up in help it tells me I should also see another item "Add Title" but I don't get that as a choice. When I click on "Edit Image Properties" I get a choice of Tooltips or Alt Text but no place for a title.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    This is the page
    http://www.adobekb.com/strategies_for_seo.html#addingmetadata
    To be clear when I right click on an image I only get the choice of "Edit Original" & "Edit Image Properties". When I click on "Edit Image Properties" I only get a choice of Tooltips or Alt Text, nothing for title
    Thanks,
    Bill
    Adding titles and alternative text to images
    After you place images on a page, you can access the Image Properties dialog box to set both a title and alternative text (also sometimes called alt text) that is assigned to the image.
    Here's a brief description of each property:
    Title: In many browsers, the title is displayed in addition to the image, typically as a tooltip that appears when a cursor hovers over it.
    Alternate text: If the image file cannot be shown, this text is displayed in place of the image. Alternate text is also used to describe images to visually impaired visitors using assistive technologies to access page content.
    It is ideal to set titles and alternative text for every site asset, to ensure that visitors have the best experience when navigating your site. Tooltips are helpful for including additional information about graphics and alternative text makes pages more accessible for screen readers that verbally present graphic content.
    To add titles and alternative text, follow these steps:
    1. Select a placed image.
    2. Right-click on the image and select Add Title or Add Alternative Text from the context menu that appears (see Figure 3).

  • 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.
    Thanks,
    Vinayak

  • Problem with Gif image

    Having a problem with gif image not showing up. It will show up in netscape6.2, but not in IE 5.0. Both are using the java 1.4 plugin. They are basic buttons (zoom in, zoom out, etc) and they actions work, just the icons aren't showing. Any help would be great! Below is a snip of code:
    JPanel toolBarsPanel = new JPanel();
    javax.swing.JToolBar toolbar = new javax.swing.JToolBar();
    JButton zoomin = new JButton(new ImageIcon("tut/zoomin.gif"));
    JButton fullext = new JButton(new ImageIcon("tut/fullextent.gif"));

    toolbar.add(zoomin);
    toolbar.add(fullext);
    toolbar.add(identify);
    toolbar.add(btn);
    add(toolbar, BorderLayout.NORTH);
    Thanks again for any help!

    I used to do a lot of work in this sort of thing. After a while we were able to convince our bosses to use generated HTML (JSPs, etc.), so the problem moved to porting JavaScript to different platforms! (Platforms in this context means the different browser/OS combinations, etc.).
    The only two things I can recommend are:
    - complete control over you code. You will have to fix it! (Tried you apps on a Mac yet?)
    - assume a minimal install. Don't assume users are going to have any fancy tools installed on their PC, unless you are developing an Intranet app, where you know the spec of the machines that are going to be using it.
    As regarding getting IE to use a relative address, I don't think you are going to have any luck their, I'm afraid! (Although I am curious. It has been some time, but I though it did use relative addresses. Are you absolutely sure about this, did you check this out with System.outs and that?

  • External hosting server has problems uploading my images

    Hi. I am experiencing difficulties getting my new hosting provider to upload my images. I use the upload to FTP on the file menu and I get a message in apop up window. "FTP - Validation, Could not validate that the specified domain is associated with the FTP server and folder. Proceed anyway? Yes / No"
    This also occurred on my previous host provider and when I clicked Yes it uploaded OK and my site has been running for several months already.
    My new host's support technician has been on the phone with me all afternoon trying to upload the files. It will upload the HTML files very quickly but then runs into problems with the images. So I have spent  a few hours renaming each file and saving them to web. I have made sure all images and assets are linked and in the same folder.  As the FTP upload struggles on it keeps stopping at various images the the computer freezes and I have to wait until it comes back to life. It doesn't crash.
    My previous host's technicians and the present one suggested that the problem is in the software - Muse.
    Has anyone else had these or similar problems?. Maybe I should rebuild in Dreamweaver?
    Oh by the way, my website www.bilyz.com uploads to Adobe Business Catalyst without a problem. Try it and see.

    Thanks for your help.  I have done as suggested and I have also tried alternative settings without successful upload. I have checked and double checked all the assets, then rechecked the sizes of each of my images before trying to upload to the FTP server.
    1.  I tried to upload with a forward slash in the folder field box - Result was a window " \public_html " does not exist. Do you want to create it?
    > OK
    New window appears: Error creating folder [failed to MKD dir: 553]
    2. Forward slash: The requested folder "/public_home " does not exist. Do you want to create it?  > Yes.
    New window: Could not validate that the specified domain is associated with the FTP server and folder. Proceed anyway? Yes
    3. New window appears: Title of window: Upload to FTP Host
                                    Overall upload progress: 65% complete
    Then uploading stalls and a message appears: Error uploading file lucy.jpg. Click to resume. If problem persists, try again later. [FTP response timeout]
    Each time I click on Resume the screen freezes for a while then returns to 'live' and it all begins again.  It is perplexing me why my site uploads to BusinessCatalyst without any problems.  It also uploaded to Namesco.co.uk without too much difficulty (my first upload)
    Yesterday prior to contacting you the hosting technician at Vidahost.com took command of my computer and tried to see what the problem was but obviously without success and suggested that the Muse software could be at fault - which I doubt.
    I have taken screen capture jpegs of the windows but don't understand how to include them.
    Kind regards

  • 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.
