Publish Text as Image or lock font

I am new to dreamweaver, I use to use yahoo sitebuilder and
one of my favorite features was called "publish text as image" it
let you put text in any font and it would make it an image so even
if someone looking at the site didn't have the font it would stay
the same. Is there any sort of feature like this in dreamweaver? I
want to use Stoen Saris font Thanks

> like so if i go into photoshop and change the text it'll
update in
> dreamweaver?
Only if you save or export or whatever from photoshop and
change the actual
image file that's in the Site's local site folder.
If you used Fireworks, yes it does have a much tighter
integration.
After placing the image, later on you could select the image
in the page in
dreamweaver, click "edit in fireworks" and it would open and
you could make
changed in fireworks. Then press a "done" button and
dreamweaver comes up
showing the modified image.
question- this is just for headlines and short bits of text,
right?
You don't want to put paragraphs or entire pages of text into
image text
right?

Publishing text as image problems

I read this nifty article by apple on how to "trick" iWeb into publishing certain text boxes as images. To do so, just give the text box a shadow and make it opacity like 5%. In my case, I have a few fonts on my site that aren't noticed by all computers so I need to publish those boxes as an image. I did that trick, and it worked as to publish as a text box, however when viewing on a PC via Internet Explorer, all of those text boxes that I did that trick for now have a so called "shadow", but they are all solid (100% opacity). No matter what I change the opacity or offset values to in iWeb I get the same result. Any suggestions?
To see what I am talking about view http://www.alotusbirth.com on a PC with internet explorer (I am assuming all PC's because it did it on my home PC and work PC, but haven't tried anywhere else though). The home pages' title was not published as a text, but all other pages' titles were. (Everything is displayed fine on a mac/safari)

One way around that is to not use a drop shadow but just select and copy the text box. Next open Preview and select File->New from Clipboard. In the window go to the Sidebar pane and drag the icon into iWeb and replace the text box with new image. That creates an image of the text. More about the process is described in Old Toad's Tutorial #7 - Converting Photos w/Frames, Drop Shadows and/or Reflections into a Single JPG Image.
The process works with photos that you've added frames or drop shadows or reflections to.
For more tips on iWeb vs IE see Roddy's How to get your iWeb Site to load in Internet Explorer page in his iWeb for Musicians site.

New MBP 15" Retina Crashes Daily, Locks-up and Distorts Text and Images.

Why is my new (2 weeks old) MBP Retina 15" crashing and locking-up about 3 to 6 times a day, even while using native programs like Safari? I have all software updates. Also, today the graphics card completely freaked out resulting in distorted text and images. This occured while in Safari. My hourly reboot did repair display distortions, but it occured again later in the day !

If you're within 14 days of taking delivery, exchange it or return it for a refund. Otherwise take it in for warranty service.

Help Me Understand: Readabilty of Text in Images

I make a webcomic (CarpeChaos.com for examples), so I produce a lot of images with a fairly extensive amount of text in them. I want to make sure the fonts in those images are as readable as possible. My experience on this topic is just someone who has read a lot about it online, I'm not professionally trained, so some of my assumptions may be flawed, please point them out. I'm using CS2, but my copy of CS5 is in the mail.
Photoshop is the core of our workflow and our PSDs are set up as several layers of image data and several layers of text. We don't rasterize the text at any point. The text is almost exclusively high contrast grayscale (aka black text on white backgrounds). Each PSD is 2880x3240, but we publish at 960x1080 AND 640x720.
What I know about font rendering tells me that fonts are rendered differently at different sizes, and that scaling rasterized text in images smears them into horrible messes.
With that in mind, I've been a bit of a fascist when it comes to our image mastering process. I never flatten text layers, nor rasterize the text in any other way. My assumption is that Save For Web... in Photoshop does the smart thing by resizing first, then rasterizing the text. Therefore, I use the "Image Size" tab in Save For Web dialog to produce the right sized images. Our jpeg compression is usually between 67% and 87%, although on rare occasion it can go as high as 100%. This produces rather crisp text with about as good of readability as I can hope for in a jpeg.
Unfortunately, this process takes a fair amount of time, and I'd love to dump all our PSDs into a script that generates the jpegs automatically. I've been playing around with File-->Scripts-->Image Processor but haven't yet gotten results that match doing it by hand. And frankly, from the dialogs, I don't trust that it respects my vector fonts as much as I do.
I'm not opposed to switching image formats to png or something else, it just needs to be web friendly.
So I have two questions for the wisdom of this forum:
1) Do you know any way that I can improve readability over what I'm currently doing?
2) How can I get the same results with less work? Is there a way I can get optimal results from an image processor script?

I often use layer styles to make text more readable. Drop shadow and outer glow are often very useful for this, and they don't have to be turned all the way up to greatly increase readability.
For example, for the back jacket of a book, I was putting some light text on a mostly dark background consisting of an image with a lot of stars in it. The letters occasionally overlaid or nearly overlaid stars, and this became kind of distracting. Some drop shadow isolated the text and kept the appearance of the star field intact.

Uploading my site to Adobe Business Catalyst and I noticed that it turns all my text into images? Why does it do that and is there a way to prevent it from happening?

I don't mind that Muse does this upon uploading my website, but once my text becomes an image on my site, it creates a light halo around my text making it fuzzy. Is there a way to prevent Muse from changing my text into images?

Hello,
I believe you are using System fonts for the text in the site. I would suggest you to use either Web safe fonts or use self hosted font options.
Please refer to the links below to understand how to work with them.

Should I use text or text as image?

I'm creating a picture book for kids, using iBooks Author.
I need to decide whether to use my preferred font, which isn't supported by iOS -- in which case I'll need to make the text part of an image.
Or whether to use a font supported by iOS.
Since it's a picture book, most of each page will be one single image. If I use text not image as text, I should be able to make part of each page not image -- maybe that will reduce the file size, so the book is better for users…?
But if it doesn't make it better for users using text, then I'll use text-as-image, so I can use my preferred font.
Are there disadvantages in making each page one single image over the full screen, and using text as image, rather than actual text?
(I will have a voiceover for the book recorded by a voiceover artist, so I won't need the iBooks voiceover.)
Here's a sample illustration showing typical amount of text on a page: https://img.skitch.com/20120225-gim7e9cje5pnf1jh969xu4791a.jpg
Thanks.

If you use image-as-text you should try to make some efforts to ensure that users with disabilities have some form of access to your content and test the experience yourself.
Be sure to set an Accessibility Description for each image with the missing text for user with screen readers. Also be sure to provide the same for any trigger you're using to provide the actor's voiceover if it can be interacted with.
You can test with VoiceOver on your iPad and should really try your book with VoiceOver Screen Curtain enabled.

Facebook is not loading properly and all my text and images are lined up along the right side of the page. How can this get fixed to the way it use to be?

Everyone who logs into Facebook on my Firefox has this problem however if we use Internet Explorer - facebook looks normal.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause issues like you described.

Dynamic text box, HTML Text with Image

Hello Everyone,
I am using Flash version 8. I have used the text tool and
created a dynamic text box and have attached the UIScrollBar
component to it. This text box is configured to allow the use of
html text to be inputted to it. I have code that reads a file which
contains a list of text files that I then read and place them into
the text box. The user can use the scroll bar to scroll through all
the text.
I have created an image that is a picture of the tab portion
of a file folder. On the tab I have place some text. This was all
done in Photoshop. This tab image is used to separate the different
stories in the text box. The image is save as a jpeg file
Everything you have just read works with out any problems.
Now for the problem!
This image is only 20 pixels tall and the text is not very
readable. As we all know the HTML tags are very limited in Flash 8.
Ideally I would like to put the text and image in to the text
box as I would normally do. Then place text on top of the image and
have it all scroll properly with in the text box.
I have taken the tab image and converted it in to a graph
symbol and then put the text on top of the image. This looks good;
however I don’t know how (or if it is even possible) to place
the graphic symbol in to the text box at the correct place within
the text.
Does anyone have ideas on what may work? Remember that the
image I am working with is only 20 pixels tall which is why the
text quality on the image is so poor.
Thank you all for any help you may provide,
Steve

Yes Tim I am using the <img> tag and I know that I
can’t place text over the image. I have set the height and
width to be the exact size of the image. However When you go to the
webpage it will open the movie to the maximum size based on the
resolution of your display; however I do maintain the aspect ratio
of the movie. For testing I did set a fix size to the size of the
movie. Sometimes the fix size (1000x750) looks better and sometimes
a larger size (example 1280x1024). I believe that the main problem
is the fact the size of the image is 670 pixels wide by 25 pixels
high and of the 25 pixels the text is only 18 pixels tall. In
Photoshop this makes it about a 1.75 point font. As you can see the
real problem is that I don’t have enough pixels to make up
the text. This is why I am looking for an alterative way to create
the text.
I tried importing the image into flash as a graphic symbol
and then using the text tool to create the text. The results looked
real sharp, the text was nice and crisp (just what I wanted). The
problem is that I could not find a way to place the graphic symbol
into the dynamic text area like id did using the <img> tag.
This symbol needs to scroll as you scroll the text in the text
area.
This is why I am asking for help. I am looking for some ideas
that may work.
Thank you,
Steve

Can only see text and image outlines

I am new and got stuck!
When I run the fla, it runs fine. However I have hit some setting and all I can see is the texts and image outlines...
Here are some screen shots:
This is what it looks like when i run it:
Please help! its probably the most fundamental thing ever but I am stuck and it is hot and I'm frustrated. Thank-you

Your timeline is set to outline view. At the top of the timeline, in the section where the names of each layer are shown, there are three icons: an eye, a lock and a box. Click on the box icon to switch between outline and normal view.

Resizing text and images with actions and keeping it resized for the next slides, how to?

Hello everybody,
I searched over the net and in this support section for a solution to my problem, but i didnt find any, so...here I am asking you experts.
Through a particular use of different actions I make a logo "compose" in the first slide of my presentation (the logo is composed by text and images that interact), then in the second slide i make it resize so it goes 50% of its size and moves down like a TV logo, in the corner of the slide, and I want it to stay there for all the lenght of the presentation.
It might be a stupid problem, but I didnt understand how to keep it there, 50% of its size and always in that position. If i duplicate the slide I obviously duplicate the 100%-size-logo, not its 50%-size-version, and if i shrink it in order to make it be 50% of its size the text size doesnt shrink so i have to change the text size manually, but the visual effect is imperfect.
Lets summarize:
slide 1: text appears, image appears, the text and the image move and "compose" the logo
slide 2: the complete logo reduces its size to 50% and moves in the lower corner of the presentation, in the place I want it to be for, lets say, 20 slides
slide 3: i want to have this logo already reduced in size and in its position, in the right lower corner, but if i try to group the different parts of the composed logo and i try to squeeze them the font doesnt change its size, I only squeeze the area that the text occupies.
Some help please guys?
Thanks in advance,
Dom-
(add: the problem is kind of similar to this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/9179367#9179367 . the idea of making a slide that contains the logo and text in the exact positions they would be after the move and scale actions is good and that was my first attempt, the probem is that it looks impossible to me to create a second "little" version of the logo that looks exactly the same of the first one that i reduced, so i hope there is some way to tell the app to use "the first logo, only resized the way i want", and thats the point where the problem with the size of the text comes out)

Hi pritam,
The “maintain proportions of window for different monitor
resolutions” property will maintain the proportional size of the front panel
(its x and y sizes) when opened in a different resolution. The front panel
objects will not be resized and will appear larger (and may not fit inside the
front panel) when saved in a higher resolution, and moved to a lower
resolution. You can use the “Keep window proportions” property to achieve the
same results.
To have both the front panel dimensions and front panel
controls scale, you need to have both the above property and the “scale all
objects on front panel as the window resizes” selected. The labels will not be
resized by this.
I tried using both properties on two monitors and noticed
that the change does not occur when the resolutions between the monitors are
different. I had to lower both monitors’ resolution to see the change work
properly.
Please post back if you have any questions. Have a great day!

The text and image are printing much smaller then what I selected.

I sized the canvas to 8.5 and 11. I layed the pic out and used 24pt type, but when I printed it, it came out tiny and looked like 1pt type.
What did I do wrong?

On the screen it might be that when using text the image is not zoomed to 100% and hence your text might look like big on screen but small when viewed at 100% of the image. Try viewing your image once at 100% and check if your font size is apporpriate. Else increase the font size and save and view in Photo Viewer or at 100% zoom in Editor and make sure it looks fine.
Also try to print on Adobe PDF prior to actual print out to make sure it works fine.
Thanks,
Garry

Text or images?

I've read lots of posts about png images. I suspect that I may have this problem as my sites aren't showing up as much as I'd like in Google. All 3 sites have been verified and have sitemaps. How do I determine if png is the problem and how do I fix it? All three sites are published to my mac.com.

Thanks for any help.

Barb,
You can tell if your text has been shifted to an image by visiting the website (in your browser) and trying to select the text. If you can select the text, then it is text; if not, it is an image.
The title of your second site's home page is an image, the others I checked are not. And in the case of the second site (iidmaterialhandling.com) I don't think that's a big deal, since the name is also in the text.
I'm not an expert on registering on Google, so someone else will have to give you some pointers, but I don't think that the text to image issue is part of your problem here.

Transform Text to Image?

I'm asking this question also on the Acrobat forum.
I'm submitting a pdf to a vendor (bookbaby) to be converted to epub.
Previous submissions mangled captions on photos, separating them from photos, mixing them up with text.
I've been informed that if I include the captions as PART of the photos, they won't be searchable, but they WILL then remain fixed with the photos (plus changing fonts, font sizes, won't affect them).
How can I turn the caption text into image so that it won't be confused with regular text?
Can I do it in Adobe Acrobat, or must I do it in Indesign before I export it to Acrobat?
Thanks for any help (and don't ask why I don't try to do an epub myself. I've tried. It's a can of worms with all 87 images I've got.)

You can maybe try Create Outlines feature in InDesign. What this feature does is convert the text to vector outlines.
Select the frame containing the caption and chose the menu Type > Create Outlines
Thanks

Menu déroulant texte et image

Bonjour,
Je voulais utiliser un menu déroulant texte et image.
Mais quand je selectionne avec l'éditeur de commande une image, celle ci est la meme quelques soit le choix dans le menu déroulant.
Hors je voulais faire apparaitre dans mon menu déroulant, un icone différent pour chaque choix.
Merci à tous pour vos réponses.

Bonjour,
Merci d'avoir posté sur le forum NI.
Si j'ai bien compris votre problème, vous souhaitez juste associer des images à des textes dans un menu déroulant texte/image.
Pour cela, vous pouvez placer votre commande sur votre face-avant. Ceci permet de créer la première "case" de votre menu.
Faite un click droit sur votre commande et ouvrez le menu "Editer les éléments". Dans la fenêtre qui s'ouvre, replissez les champs avec les textes que vous souhaitez puis cliquez sur OK.
Cliquez ensuite sur "Edition >> importer une image dans le presse papier" et aller chercher votre image. Faites ensuite un click droit sur votre commande et faites "importer une image du presse papier".
Pour éditer la seconde image de votre menu, prenez l'outil "doigt" et cliquez sur votre commande afin d'aller à la prochaine case de votre menu.
Celle ci doit contenir le texte que vous avez choisi au début et aucune image. Réitérez alors la procédure faite pour la case précédente (Edition>> importer dans le presse papier puis click droit sur votre commande ...) avec l'image correspondante au texte.
Et ainsi de suite pour le reste de votre menu.
Cordialement,
Nicolas M.

Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.
