Proportional document resize

I have a document that is currently 4.25"x4.25" I would like to resize it to 8.25"x8.25". Is there an easy way to do this so that all the graphics, textboxes, and font size scale proportionally. I have made some attempts using the Layout Adjustment settings, but the biggest issue is that the type sizes don't adjust accordingly.

Fred,
There's really no reason to wreck the text by converting to outlines. The text in a grouped frame will scale, and remain editable, when you scale the group.
The downside to the grouping method is that you lose any layering you might have had. All members of a group wind up on the same layer, regardless of where they start. That's why I suggested placing the page into a new doc. It behaves like a graphic in the new doc, but remains editable in the original (and the link will update when you make changes). It's important, though, to be fully patched when placing ID pages into other documents. There was a bug in the original release that could cause stitching to appear in some images.

  • Proportional Image Resizing

    Hi,
    Description of the task:
    I need to upload two images one is a full image and the other is a thumbnail representation of the same image of type jpg. I also need to ensure that all the uploaded images are within a given maximun size. For example:
    Thumbs should be 76 x 55 pixels
    FullSized should be 247 x 183 pixels
    Task Achievements:
    I've used the apachee commons package's FileItem class to handle retrival and storage of the image from the submitting servelet form.
    Description of the Problem:
    Don't know how to apply a proportional resize on the uploaded files (images) before storing them.
    Other Questions:
    1. Will the fact that conventional Buffered approach for reading files being not used hamper file manipulation?
    2. Can a proportional Image resizing function be applied to images in java. (Similar to that of php)
    3. Can an external php file be called or accessed from within java (a servlet) to perform the same functions of uploading an image and resizing it porportionally.

  • Document Resizing question - InDesign CC

    In previous versions of InDesign that I've used, if I had something centered on a 12" x 18" page (so centered at 6" x 9"), I could decide to change the document setup size to a different sized paper, for example 13" x 19".  When I would do that, it would basically add 1/2" to all 4 sides evenly and my art would remain centered with a new point of 6.5" x 9.5".  When I do this in InDesign CC, my artwork stays at the 6" x 9" and is no longer centered.  Is there a preference setting or something I can do to fix this and make it add or subtract my new page size evenly to keep my art centerd?? 
    I'm using a Mac, OS X 10.6.8.
    Thanks in advance!

    A discussion like this had been posted before, and as I do research, I also found out that some Adobe InDesign users is already aware of this. A related topic for this one is here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5445588#5445588
    And other website:
    http://idsecrets.wpengine.com/resize-page-from-upper-left-corner.php
    So, lets just hope that adobe include a fix for this since adobe is already working out an enhancement since InDesign CC is also sluggish compare to adobe InDesign CS6.

  • PSE 12 - Drag from photo bin into larger document resizes image

    I upgraded from PSE 10 to PSE 12 this week and am confused about a change in behavior.
    I create a large blank document (3600x3600 pixels, scrapbook size) and then drag other items onto it to create new layers.
    In PSE10, the items I dragged in kept their original size. In PSE 12, they get resized to match the size of the document I'm dragging them on to.
    Is there a setting I need to change? Can't find it.

    I would love to see this option return!
    Adobe has had very little consistency between PSE versions on the dragging front! Now the only way to drag a full size/resolution item into another is to enable floating windows and then drag between windows.
    In PSCC you have an option to choose Smart object or not and I think that would be a welcome addition to future versions.
    The problem was that such an option (which I liked) in older versions was severely criticized by typical PSE users, and Adobe had to drop that inherited feature from CS to please the more amateur customer base... Hence the lack of consistency between PSE versions.
    If you miss smart objects use, have a look at the affordable but powerful Elements+ scripts:

  • Smart Guides, Constrain Proportions and Resizing an Object.

    When I have Smart Guides on and I'm trying to resize an object while holding shift (to constrain) Indesign seems to ignore the shift key. Usually when there's other objects in close proximity, or just closely aligned, vertically or horizontally. The image I posted is a good example. Trying to resize the bracket object while near all those other objects results in a lot of skipping around, and constrain not working. You can see in the image the outline is not constrained, even though I'm holding the shift key. It just wants to jump to those Smart Guides regardless of what I'm trying to tell it to do.
    This isn't much of an issue, but basically I'm wondering if this is a bug, or if the Smart Guides, just take priority. It's bit annoying turning smart guides on and off constantly to accomodate this odd behavior. Does anyone have any insight on this?

    Hi,
    I'm on a Mac Snow Leopard/CS5, and there actually is an update I haven't installed yet. I'm on 7.0.3, so I'll try that out.
    If it is a bug it's certainly not the end of the world, but I was curious if anyone else had been dealing with it as well. I love the Smart Guides, except for that.

  • Photoshop CS4 Open a smaller layer as a new smaller resized document.

    Hello,
    Sorry if this question is novice.
    I have a number of layers in my document which are small, I would like to export them to PSD documents and save them.
    I would like the new document size in pixels to automaticaly resize around the object on the layer.
    At  the moment what is happening is this. My original PSD is something like  1500x2000 pixels I take a small object which is 20x30 pixels, deselect  all the other layers and save it. What I've saved is a transparent  1500x2000 document with a small object in the middle of it, rather than  just a 20x30 document with a 20x30 image in it.
    Please  do not say new document -> resize to 20x30. There are so many little  images and as I don't know all their pixel dimensions it would take me 2  days to resize the document exactly to the little image size.
    Is it a script I need? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Open the actions panel (Window > Actions). Create a new action set called "my actions". Then create a new doc with one layer and the layer highlighted in blue in the layers panel.
    Now go to the actions panel and create a new action "my action". Once it's recording, go to the layers panel and ctrl-click on the layer thumbnail. This selects the transparency. Then Image > Crop. Stop recording the action and throw away the temporary doc.
    Go to your master file and use the layers to files script to save out the layers into a folder called "my small layers". Then use the File > automate > batch command and run "my action" with the source folder as "my small layers" and the destination of "save and close". Be sure there are no files in "my small layers" but ones that you just exported.

  • Stroke width not resizing properly

    I have been using Photoshop Elements for many years now (curently have version 5) and decided to download a trial of Illustrator. I have never worked with vectors before, but I'm in love with this program. I can finally draw like I always wanted to without all the tedious cleanup work!
    The only thing that's stumping me is how to resize an image without all of the outlines not sizing up with the rest of the image. In the picture below on the left is the original image and the right is after it has been resized. All of the black outlines are out of proportion on the resized one. His legs and arms are too small, his freckles have shrank, etc.
    Is there a way to have it retain the proper proportions when resizing, or is it nessasairy to change them all by hand after it has been resized?

    Thanks, Larry. On Mac and Win, double-clicking on the scale tool should also get you that dialog and the checkbox.

  • How do i get rid of the 'grey space' in document page view?

    I am continually trying to 'center' the document and notice that there is a fixed width 'grey space' to the left of the white page. Is there a way to get rid of this?

    The 'grey area' to the left of the working area (which is blue on my machine) shows the thumbnail of the page where you are currently entering or editing text. The only way i know to make it go away is to go View (menu) > Hide Page Thumbnails.
    The grey vertical stripe to the right of the working page in the area beyond the edge of the defined page width set in Page Setup. It will show whenever your document window has been set wider than the page width at the current magnification.
    You can remove that grey by enlarging the page, or by reducing the window width.
    Pages documents align to the left edge of the working space in the window, and can't be moved from there.
    Other actions you could take:
    Use Full Screen mode (View > enter Full Screen) The removes all other material from the display, leaving an image of the page, centered left to right, and surrounded by a blank, black border. Depending on your window settings, you may also see a word count and an page number/page count displayed at the bottom of the screen.
    If you want a plain, whiite (or other colour) margin for your document, try this:
    Open a new, blank Pages document.
    Use the View menu to hide all elements whose menu item starts with "Hide".
    Set the view scale to 400%, using the control at the bottom left.
    Drag the window to the left about twice as far as needed to hide the red amber and green gumdrops in the title bar.
    Drag the control at the bottom right corner right (and down) to fill the window.
    Drag the title bar right to hide the lozenge at the right end of the title bar.
    Save the document as a Template, with the name "Blank white background"
    To use:
    Open ths template, then open the document you want to work on. Hide the Page Thumbnails of the work document, resize the document window to hold the page, with no grey area to the right. Reposition the document to be centered horizontally on the page.

    Barry

  • Constrain proportions only working sometimes?

    When holding Shift to constrain proportions and resizing using the scale tool, it only sometimes constrains proportions correctly. The other times the smart guides say it's constraining uniformly but it doesn't (the info display shows the width at 100% and the height changing though). This seems to happen when I click to the bottom right of the object, but not lower than the furthest bottom point of the object. Is this another "feature"? How do I turn it off if it is a "feature"? 

    Further clarification:
    Normally when holding down shift and resizing with the scale tool it switches between resizing only the one axis (a smart guide line on the 90 degree axis) and resizing both axis' uniformly (a smart guide line on the 45 degree axis) depending on where my mouse is. When this problem manifests it only switches between resizing only the one axis (smart guide showing 90 degree axis) and some weird in-between state where the smart guide shows a +-30 degree axis line and states that it is a uniform resize and the info display shows only one axis resizing, yet BOTH are resizing, in a weird distorted proportion. It DOESN'T switch to a true uniform resize no matter where i move my mouse, and I have to release the resize, undo and do it again. I'm still not able to emulate this reliably so i can file a bug report....
    I hope this isn't even MORE confusing...

  • Good day. Is there into Pages the possibility to compare two documents? In order to reveal changes.

    Good day. Is there into Pages the possibility to compare two documents? In order to reveal changes.

    Hi iMayner,
    I don't know of a way to easily compare two documents in Pages. Maybe there is an app to do this, but I don't know of one.
    What you can do in Pages is to open both documents, resize the windows and drag them side-by-side on the screen. Pages 5 has a limit on how narrow you can make the windows, so this may be a bit of a pain.
    The first step would be to show the Word Count in both documents. (Pages 5.5.1 Menu > View > Show Word Count, or click on the View button in the ToolBar and Show Word Count). If the Word Counts are the same, you have **some** confidence that the documents are identical, but no guarantee.
    An example of two short documents with different word counts:
    Document A (33 words)
    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
    Don't count your chickens until they hatch.
    Don't cross your bridges until you come to them.
    An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
    Document B (34 words)
    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
    Don't count your chickens until they have hatched.
    Don't cross your bridges until you come to them.
    An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
    To home in on that difference, copy and paste each document into a column in a spreadsheet such as Numbers or Excel, so that each paragraph becomes a cell in a column. Turn on Wrap text in cell.
    The different heights of each cell (paragraph) become apparent.
    Happy Christmas!
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Conditional Image Resizing

    Hi
    Ive been using batch processing in photoshop since version 7, however Ive recently found the need to do conditional actions - which apparently can be done with photoshop scripting.
    What Im trying to do is resize an image if it is over a certain size (document dimensions that is) but leave it at its original size if not.
    If I was coding in C or something Id probably do (forgive the poor pseudo code)
    if(document.height*document.width>640000){document.resize("50%");}
    Can anybody point me in the right direction for creating this type of script in photoshop CS4?
    Many thanks

    Hi, thanks for replying.
    Your response has caused me to rethink and discover that it is not always going to be possible to achieve what I want. It relies entirely on the aspect ratio of the image that you start out with. A complete oversight.
    James  If you know the size you want it would be easy to do if a fitted center crop would fill your needs.  However I must warn you that center crops do not work all that when you change Landscape to portraits and portraits to landscapes. Here are some examples of what happen when there are orientation mismatches.

  • CS3(AS) Open selected image in photoshop/resize/relink

    Hello,
    I'm working on a layout with hundreds of placed images. I only need to resize a select few to so they are placed at 100%, I want to do this by running a script on just the image selected in layout, open it in photoshop, resize to match the scaling in Indesign and then relink. I've started a script that I hope is getting close. The image opens in photoshop but then wont resize(maybe I should post this in the photoshop scripting forum as well). And then I need it to relink back in InDesign.
    Here is what I have started:
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
    set theSelection to item 1 of selection
    set theClass to class of theSelection
    if theClass is in {image, PDF} then
    set theSelection to parent of theSelection
    end if
    set myHoriz to absolute horizontal scale of theSelection
    set myVert to absolute vertical scale of theSelection
    set theFilePathOfImage to file path of item link of graphic 1 of theSelection
    tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS3"
    activate
    open alias theFilePathOfImage
    set docRef to current document
    resize image docRef width (myHoriz as percent) height (myVert as percent) resample method bicubic sharper
    end tell
    set theSelection to update theSelection
    end tell

    Richard,
    What I did when faced with a similar situation was to go to Control Panel, and select Add or Remove Programs, then select Uninstall or Change for Adobe Photoshop CS2, then when prompted whether to Uninstall or Repair, choose Repair. This will fixup all the registry entries that appare to be missing from your system.
    Works for me at least.

  • CS4 - document.saveACopy?

    Is there a way to save a document as a copy in InDesign CS4? I don't see a listing for 'saveACopy' in the online references, and I get an error 'saveACopy is not a function' if I try to do so. I don't see any parameters in the 'save' function to allow saving a copy either, so I don't know if there is any other way to do this. It appears this has command been added to CS5?
    I am writing a script which will modify the current document, resizing and removing certain elements. If the current document has been modified, but not saved, I want to give the option for my script to save a copy and modify the copy. Currently, I alert the user that the document has been modified, and don't allow running the script; this will suffice if there is no way to save a copy, but if there is a way to do so, I would prefer to be able to add that functionality.

    I can give that a try, although I might rather continue to prevent the user (who will be me most of the time running this) from using the script unless the document is saved if that is the only other option in CS4.
    Thanks for the reply.
