Problem with image transparency in Director

We want to use some Photoshop images with some transparency and gradients
(ie foreground color to transparent background) in a project where the image
will be placed over various other background images (the background images
will show through the transparenct areas).
When we import the file (in p/shop format - selected as 32 bit),and it's
placed onto the stage the "transparent" areas of the image are not fully transparent
- there is a slight 'lightening' of the pixels in the transparent areas (this doesn't show
up when the image is viewed in Photoshop)
Can anyone explain what is happening here?

What happens if you save as PNG out of PS and import that?

ImageIcon Upload=new ImageIcon("images/Upload.gif");
     Button=new JButton(Upload);
     Button.setToolTipText("Upload");
Button.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)

          if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
          File file = fc.getSelectedFile();
String aa=file.getAbsolutePath();
          textArea3.append(aa);
               textArea2.append("Local URL:");

          InputStream fileIn=new FileInputStream(aa);
          int i=fileIn.read(buff);
          String conffile=new String(buff); (conffile is a String object containing the image)

--------------------7d11e410e500f2--\r\n";
printout.writeBytes(content);conffie is sent to the server but
it's non possible to treat binary data as String!
Image files must be sent as byte[] NOT as String ......

Problem with images opened in Photoshop CS 5

Hi, I have a problem with images that I open in Photoshop CS 5. F. ex. I opened
the following image:
The image appears with a purple color in Photoshop. If I hover over the image
with a tool like lasso, it temporarily regains it´s original color. The image mode is RGB Color, 8 Bits/Channel.
I resetted the start settings of Photoshop with the CTRL-Shift-Alt-combination, which had no effect.

The confusion arises from the imprecise error message in the Preferences > Performance dialog box, to wit:
OK, that seems to be open to misunderstanding indeed.
The video card: Citrix Systems Inc. Display Driver.
Could not find a list for CS6 specifically, but the card may fall short.
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/tested-video-cards-photoshop-cs5.html
If I invoke View > Proof Colors, the only thing that changes is that the text in the brackets
Also if you set View > Proof Setup to something different?
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, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

Problem with Image.createImage()

Hi all!
I'm writing a simple midlet just to display an image on the screen and I'm having some problems with Image.createImage()
Here is my code
Image bg_img;
ImageItem imageItem1;
imageItem1 = new ImageItem("", null,ImageItem.LAYOUT_DEFAULT, "");
try{
bg_img = Image.createImage("/image.png");
imageItem1.setImage(bg_img);
catch(java.io.IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
I'm getting an exception on bg_img = Image.createImage("/image.png");
I can't understand what is it...:(
I know for sure that the problem is not "file not found"
Any one can help me???

If you are catching IOException, then u may have problem with ur image path. "image not found on the specified path." if ur image is not in the current directiry then put it into current directory. otherwise, If u are using resouce folder and it is already included into the resouce path, then put ur image in that folder..try this..
Still not get, then please give some detail about ur development toolkit. and ur apllication packaging scheem. are you using ANT?

Problems with image scaling

I'm facing a real problem with image scaling
I've used several algorithms but it all has defects but the most common thing is the out of memory error after several enlargments...
does any one know a solution...
note:
I've used several packages to do so,but I'm looking for a solution from the jdk itself
JAlexscorpio

Did you take into account that the getScaledInstance() -method creates a completly new Image?
So if you use it like in
ImageIcon icon1=new ImageIcon("Blah.gif");
ImageIcon icon2=new ImageIcon(icon1.getImage().getScaledInstance(400,400,SCALE_FAST);
you will end up with 2 different Images which have their own data and memory requirements.
even if you use something like
ImageIcon icon1=new ImageIcon("Blah.gif");
Image i=icon1.getImage();
icon1.setImage(i.getScaledInstance(200,200,SCALE_FAST));
You will need enough memory to store the data for the original image, as well as the data for the scaled
version of the image, at least for the time that it take the JRE to create the scaled version. You never know when the garbage collector kicks in to delete you old data so it could be that this takes some time and until
that moment your memory is not available. If your now doing several of the scaling operations, and there is no chance for the garbage collector to do its work, you will run out of memory.
I hope that might help, if not feel free to post again

Copy and Paste Problems with Images

I'm having the strangest problems with images. I copy an image off of the web for one of my art history classes and I go to paste into another program but, whether it's Keynote, Powerpoint, Photoshop, or Graphic Converter, something always goes wrong: the images definitely lose some of their quality, become brighter in appearance, and get jagged on the edges. This is starting to drive me nuts, especially since it never happened in 10.4 on my iBook G4. Any suggestions?

Make it an 8-bit file (Image menu > mode).

Experiencing problem with image display in LR5

I have an intermittent problem with images displaying and exporting in LR. It just began a couple of months ago and is totally random - will do it with RAW (CR2) or JPG. It displays this way in all modules - Library, Develop, Slideshow....The image displays fine in a non-Adobe image viewer (Faststone or Windows Viewer). I've reloaded LR5 and PSCC and is still persists. I know the image file is fine. It also has begun effecting older images that were showing up just fine a while ago. I just loaded about 200 images and maybe 3 or so have this viewing problem in LR & PS. Has anyone else experienced it and have a suggested fix? My graphics card has the latest drivers and shows no problems with other applications. Here is the same image - one a jpg export from Lighroom, the other a save as jpg from Faststone. HELP!

This is almost always a hardware problem, causing corruption of the file. The difference you see between Lightroom and other software is that Lightroom is accessing the full RAW image, while the other software is trying to read the embedded JPG preview.
To figure out exactly what hardware is the problem, you need to try different transmission paths and hardware ... different camera cards, different card readers or USB cables/USB ports, different hard disks, etc. Eventually you should be able to isolate the problem.

My daughter's older Ipod Touch is having a problem with images becoming pixilated when taken from an e-mail and placed into her camera roll. ( She wants to put on Instagram ) Any help?

My daughter's older Ipod Touch is having a problem with images becoming pixilated when taken from an e-mail and placed into her camera roll. ( She wants to put on Instagram ) Any help?

I think that may be a consequence of the email provider she is using. Some services (AOL is one example) inspect and modify email attachments, particularly photos, resulting in reduced resolution compared to the email that was sent.
The iPod does not do this. The resolution of the picture in the email she receives will be identical to what is imported.

InDesign Transparency Effects - Problems with Image Quality and File Size

Hello,
We are experiencing new problems exporting InDesign files to PDF.
To summarize, though our largest workflow is to create files for offset printing, we also deliver our work to PDF for mounting on a website so our clients can download directly from the web. Our new problem is Transparency Effects, and creating a PDF that will both have a high quality (or resolution), and be a small file size.
We are working with multiple page documents (24 to 48 pages), and would very much like to work with InDesign Transparency Effects. However, after spending much time testing a variety of PDF types, we are finding there is a radical difference between quality and file size. I was curious if anyone has had these problems, and if there is a simple answer. InDesign is an incredible program that allows us to design on the fly with Transparency Effects, but, if we are going to experience these problems, we will have to eliminate these wonderful tools.
Can you help me or lead me to information online that will help.
Thank you,
Lain

Please don't post in multiple forums. Your question has nothing to do with the PDF language and specifications, but rather PDF workflow or InDesign. I've responded to your other posting and am closing this thread.

Hi
I need to create in runtime an image with transparent areas,

images =

letter is =
transparent) and want to create one member which some text,

My first problem is - first of all I should create a

I do it in following way:
I create an image object, and then fill it with transparent
pixel, taken =
form the top-left corner of some letter-image
newImage =3D image(cWidth, cHeight, 32, 8)
newImage.copyPixels(srcMember.image, newImage.rect,

Is this correct or can I create an transparent image in some

correct way?
Second problem - when I copy my letters into destination
image through =
next series of copyPixels commands , something happens to
transparency - =
it looks like semi trasparent pixels become more transparent

Can it be that transparency of background fill affects
transparency (or =

I could live with this problem until my projects run on PC,
but under =

Problems with embedding swfs into Director 11.5

Hello everyone,
I am hoping someone can help me and please bear with me - I don't know a lot about director - I can do some Lingo and get around in the program to make things work.
Right now I am working on an interactive presentation where the user can click a button to view an animation. I am using Director 11.5 for my presentation and have made my animations in After Effects CS3 -- from there I converted my .mov files to .flv files using the Adobe Media Encoder CS4... then I took my .flv file into Flash and published it as a swf file.
The problem that I am having is that when I play the presentation (within Director and after publishing the .app/projector file) the swf files are playing - but there is all this glitchy-artifact stuff all over them. Does anyone know why this would be happening? When I play the swf files in the flash player they look great. Before, when I was using Flash MX and Director MX, I never had any problems with embedding my swf animation files - and they played great - without any artifact. Any and all help would be much appreciated as this project is due in the next few days and I would prefer to figure out a solution rather than uninstalling Flash CS4 and Director 11.5 - and going back to MX.
I toyed with the thought that my video card isn't good enough but I tested the .app file on another machine and the glitchy-artifacts were still there. I have attached a jpg showing the artifact that appears.
I am running Mac OS X 10.5.7
Dual 2 GHz G5 PowerPC
ATI Radeon X800 XT
Thank you!

Sorry... here is the image again and I think the problem might be my machine -- it is very old (~4+ years) and when I tested my .app on a newer intel mac here it worked fine... but maybe I am missing something -- it seems odd that I can see the swf fine in flash player but it is glitchy when played through director or the .app projector file
