Putting Media on top of a Photoshop image

     I am currently making a website that is Photoshop based. I have created a full page on Photoshop including all my text and images. I used hot spots/ image maps to link users to different pages. But I am unable to do make flash related components in Photoshop. (Example: the image viewer in dream weaver). My question is, how am I able to place an image view onto my webpage in Dreamweaver on TOP of the Photoshop image? I have tried making layers but the problem is that it has a fixed position and it will not be able to adapt to different desktop sizes. I want the image view to be able to move to the center with my website.

If you scan through this forum, I'm wagering you'll find that >50% of the posts here are from people who have taken just this approach.  Photoshop (and Fireworks) do not write production-quality HTML.  The HTML you get from any graphics application is extremely 'brittle' and will break as soon as you begin to change the shape of the content on each page.  You should use a graphics application to make your graphics, and an HTML authoring system to write your HTML.  That's the honest truth.
I have created a full page on Photoshop including all my text and images. I used hot spots/ image maps to link users to different pages.
Your text content is part of the graphic?  You realize that you will not get ranked by search engines when you do that, right?  This is the worst thing you can do, really.
My question is, how am I able to place an image view onto my webpage in Dreamweaver on TOP of the Photoshop image?
Now you are getting to the heart of the matter.  To tell you how to do this, we will have to use HTML-speak, and CSS-speak, which you are not likely to understand if you are just using Photoshop to write your HTML.  The answer to your question is that you make your graphics a background image of the container involved, and place your media into that container, properly nudged into place using padding and margins.
I have tried making layers but the problem is that it has a fixed position and it will not be able to adapt to different desktop sizes. I want the image view to be able to move to the center with my website.
You can do it that way, *and* make the absolutely positioned element center along with the website by wrapping the entire page in a centering, and relatively positioned container, e.g.,
<body>
<div style="width:xxxpx; margin:0 auto;position:relative;">
... the rest of your page's code ...
</div>
</body>

  • My background images do not bleed in the Family Album theme if I put photos on top of the background image. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    My background photos in the Family Album theme do not bleed when I put another photo on top of them. Does anyone know how to fix this in iphoto 9?

    Can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing on that page? In the meantime try this basic fix: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • Can I put only the top image of a stack in a Mobile Album?

    I have an album that contains stacks and I would like to put only the top images of these stacks in a Mobile Album.  Is this possible? 
    I have tried to make a new album and only put the top images in this new album without sucess.  Is it possible to have a stack of images in one album and only the top image in another ablum?
    I hope someone knows about this

    Hi Surendra,
    My target is to find a convenient way to transfer my best photos only to my iPad
    By using stacks for similar photo and putting my best shot on top I reduce the number of images displayed in the organizer.  A typical stack contains of 8 shots.  
    Then I put my best stacks in an album.  By using the Slide Show in PE I have a convenient way to display only my best shot and tha's OK for my computer were I have a lot of disc space.
    But on my iPad the size of memory is limited and it also takes some time to transfer a huge number of images so now I want to find a convenient way of tranfering only the top image of each stack. If I could have a separate album containing only the top images from each stack the task would have been easy.
    Now this is not possible so now I hope there is another solution than acually making a separate copy (a new file) of each top image and put these copies in a separate album.   This will of course work but it will end up in having two identical images showing up in the organizer and so I do not really like this idea.
    I hope I have managed to describe my intention and do you have an idea for a workaround or do I need to make separate copies?
    Thanks a lot

  • How can I put a vertical menu ON TOP OF the background image?

    I've taken a screenshot to describe my problem.
    http://i48.tinypic.com/10ndeg4.jpg
    I want to put the menu on top of the background image. Compare it to placing another image on top of the background image. HOW on earth can I do this?

    Did you try putting the image in a <div> and setting the background image for the <div> with CSS.  Then within the <div> place your menu.
    Just a thought.

  • Is there a way to overlay a soundcloud music player widget (flash or HTML5) ON TOP of a jpeg image?

    I am designing my first webpage for a new site. It is very basic in function, where I am going to be embedding a bunch of soundcloud.com players of my music to my website. This part is fairly easy. I currently have Adobe Dreamweaver CS6.
    Since I have ZERO webdesign experience, going the easy route is best. It was suggested to me by someone to create what I wanted my webpage to look like in photoshop (which I have lots of experience in). Essentially, I have a single image with lots of visual information on it, where I can then add "hotspots" if needed. So, I created my design, where there are specific areas ON TOP of the jpeg image where I want to overlay the soundcloud player. I am able to adjust the size, and format (HTML5 or Flash) of the player itself at soundcloud. I then have the proper code that needs to be put where I want it on top of my image.
    Is there a simple piece of code, or a way in Dreamweaver to accomplish this in an easy way?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Convert Photoshop image to EXISTING .pdf

    Hello - I searched everywhere for this answer and can't seem to find it.
    I want to be able to put an .psd file/.jpg/anything file that I create in Photoshop into an existing .PDF that I have.  In otherwords I have a .pdf template with a blank area for these images and I can't figure out how to do this.  It always seems to throw my image at the bottom on a different page.  I've searched tutorials and I think I am looking in the wrong place. 
    Please help!

    A PDF template is usually placed in a page layout program such as InDesign, where you can add your Photoshop images on top of it.
    Illustrator may have been used to create the PDF file -- and may be able to reopen it for editing.
    It is unlikely that you will find success editing or assembling these files in Photoshop or Acrobat.

  • Can I put buttons on top of a slideshow?

    My client has asked the latest cover of their magazine to have a slow crossfade of about 5 images as the background, with elements such as logos & links to articles over the top.
    I thought this would be easy since the Slideshow » Crossfade feature is simple to control, but I run into trouble as soon as I put anything on top of it—the slideshow appears on top of everything else in the preview, even if it's an interactive element.
    Am I missing a step somewhere? I feel like this should be a relatively simple thing to do—but it's been about 6 months since my last DPS project so I'm a little rusty, and a lot has been updated in the meantime.
    My other option would be to do the crossfade in Photoshop and import as an image sequence, but I suspect I'd run into the same problem (correct me if I'm wrong!).
    Or I could do the animation in Edge Animate and import as an HTML object. Would either of those options give me better results? They seem a little more complex for essentially the same end product.

    Yep, they're buttons.
    So far I've only added one button, for initial testing. It's the client's logo as a placed Illustrator file. In Buttons and Forms, it's type is a Button, I've named it and On Release or Tap it has a Go To URL action. It has no rollover or click states and it is not Hidden Until Triggered. I feel like I'm missing a step somewhere there...
    Putting the buttons into each state of the MSO works fine, but is less than ideal since they'll change many times before the final version. Updating 5 versions of the same thing each time will get a bit tedious! That's the only way I can get it to work for now though, so I'll keep going like that.
    Adding a text frame with scrollable content works fine - it appears on top of the slideshow.
    Adding another slideshow on top works as well... but my buttons don't!
    EDIT: And yes, I mean in Adobe Content Viewer. It displays the same on the desktop version and on my iPad.

  • Lightroom JPEG export VS Photoshop Image Processor

    Hey guys:
    Long time photoshop and lightroom user (long time user of all things Adobe). First post here in the forums. I did a search for my question but I think it was too specific, so it returned zero results.
    My question is about Lightroom's JPEG export vs Photoshops Image Processor. When I export a RAW file to JPEG from Lightroom, the file size is freaking huge. The JPEG is as big as my original RAW file (~25mb). Settings are set to default - 100 quality. Everything else remains untouched.
    However, when I use Photoshop's image processor (I launch it through Bridge, easier that way for me) and process the RAW images that way, my JPEGs are roughly 5-10mb in size. Settings in Image Processor are quality 10 and thats it. No actions being run or anything.
    Can anyone shed some light as to why Lightroom exports JPEGs that are roughly 2-4 times the size of Photoshop's JPEGs? My initial thoughts are that the 100 quality setting in Lightroom is more like Photoshop's quality 12 (that always makes me think of Spinal Tap - "Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?" "These go to eleven.") Ideally, exporting out of Lightroom would be much easier for my workflow.
    Thanks in advance.

    You are correct: LR Quality 100 = PS Quality 12
    Despite LR having 101 Quality settings (0 to 100) it actually only has 12 Quality settings the same as PS 'Baseline Standard':

  • Rotate to fit / photoshop image processor

    Anyone know what happened to the Rotate to Fit feature in bridge/tools/photoshop/image processor? I have to make several web photo galleries and this most important feature seems to be missing with CS4.

    To clarify - older photoshop (or bridge) programs, you could put in the dimensions you wanted and check a checkbox that said something like "rotate to fit". So if I entered 400x600px, then photoshop would make Portrait images 600 tall x 400 wide, and Landscape image 600 wide by 400 tall.
    Photoshop CS4 doesn't have that option so I have to go through all of my images, select all the landscape images, put in 600 wide x 400 tall, and run the script. Then gotta Go Back... select all of the Portrait images.. and run the script again but this time for 600 tall x 400 wide. Such a pain - gotta be a better way just haven't found it yet! help!

  • Photoshop Image Processor error

    I'm trying to resize some images using Bridge (which I've done several times before) but this time, for some reason, it's giving me an error. This is what I'm doing:<br />1) click on large size JPEG.<br />2) under Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor > Save as JPEG > Run<br />3) a window pops up saying: Sorry, something major happened and I can't continue! Would you like to see more info?<br />4) when I hit "Yes", another window pops open saying: Error: General Photoshop error occurred. - <no additional information available> : 1344<br /><br />What am I doing wrong or different and how can I fix this? HELP!

    Update: I actually spoke with a Nik filter tech about this problem, because after I had her put Nik filters in the right places, the "Window does not have a constructor" error came back, and reinstalling the SL update did not work this time. She said they have seen others with similar issues using SL. If I use a different administrator account, everything works fine.
    So, this appears to be a SN problem. Hope they are working on an update!

  • Photoshop Image Processor?

    2 alternatives for you...
    1. Allow Lightroom to export, and then run the sharpening on the
    resulting files. There's a quick tutorial here
    http://www.photoshopservices.co.uk/lightroom/droplets.htm. Whilst you
    could export to psd and then let your droplet convert to jpeg after
    sharpening, that will take a lot more processing power than going
    straight to jpeg, and it's probably not worth it in a real world
    environment. Saving as top quality jpeg twice is not going to kill your
    file. (Test it!)
    2. Alternatively, do all your colour correction in LR, save the changes
    to XMP sidecar files, and then find them in Bridge with either CS2/ACR
    3.7 or CS3/ACR4 and run Image Processor as you usually would. This
    would just open and save each file once, as it does in your current
    workflow.

  • How do I add video in my Photoshop images and graphics? I need it to play in Adobe Acrobat when I'm done.

    I designed an electronic press kit and I need the video to play on it. I'm getting the video link from YouTube so I was wondering how to make that happen. I already tried putting the YouTube link behind the video layer so it can be clickable in Acrobat, but when I sent it to the online magazine forum there was a lot of lines in it. I saw this YouTube video on how to do it but it requires ImageReady TUTORIAL-Add video to your Photoshop images and graphics! - YouTube. I don't have the Photoshop to ImageReady button in my PS....HELP! How do I get this done?!?!?

    That tutorial is extremely old. ImageReady was last used in CS2. In other words that program no longer exists.
    Luckily video made its way into photoshop so you can easily import your video into photoshop.
    Instead of an animation panel, it is now called the timeline panel. When the panel first opens it will ask you if you want an animation or a movie. Choosing movie will reduce the number of layers required down to just 2, one for the movie and one for the TV image. Since this is a timeline, you can split the timeline to remove any portion of the video you do not want or need to add an effect to that area of the timeline. Each time you split the video, it will move it to a new layer for you.
    You can still export as an animated gif by using the File>Save As dialog box. or You can export as a movie and choose another video format. Which format and codec you can choose will depend on how many other video apps of Adobe's you also have installed.

  • Why does my high res photoshop image appear blurry when placed in InDesign and Exported as PDF?

    Hi there,
    I have a problem I've been trying to solve for days but just can't find the answer anywhere on the internet.
    I have a large, good quality photoshop file (2268 x 979 pixels, resolution 300 pixels per inch). When I place it into InDesign, the image appears OK (I've changed my display settings to HIGH) - I then resize it in InDesign to 10% and the file still looks great! Then, when I export it as PDF (high quality print) it looks blurry.
    Does anybody know why? The strangest thing is, I've placed other photoshop images in the same InDesign file and they look crystal clear. It is just this one I am having trouble with. I've saved it in the same folder as the other pictures, I've tried placing it as psd. , jpg. , photoshop pdf, png. everything...
    The image looks great in both photoshop and indesign, only when exported as pdf it looks awful.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated,
    Many thanks in advance!
    Weronika

    It's probably the extreme reduction -- you're throwing away 90% of the image pixels and interpolating, and then using jpeg compression on top.

  • Line break in photoshop image

    I had a tif file of a mountain climber which was placed in an Indesign file as a cover for a brochure. The indesign file went through a number of text edits during the course of August through November.  Towards the last month of November a line gap appeared in the cover on the tif file. When I opened the tif file the gap appeared across the top quarter of the image. Why did this happen? Unfortunately I did not catch this and my client had to reprint the cover images at the press. My OS system is Maverick and I was using an older photoshop, CS5.

    No the original image does not have the line break. See below.
    I duplicated the image below for the current project and the line break occurred midway through the project. It seems that the image somehow got corrupted but I did not open it up in photoshop at all.

  • Pixel-slop in Photoshop image rotation

    See three small bitmaps attached: <<original.bmp>>; <<45cw.bmp>>; <<45ccw.bmp>>.
    The original is a simple 21x21 pixel test pattern, black except for white pixels in the center and corners.  It's appearance should be the same whether rotated 45 deg clockwise or counterclockwise, and the appearance should keep the symmetry of the original.
    I used "Bilinear Interpolation".  I used a gamma = 1 profile, and to be extra-safe set Edit>Assign Profile>Don't Color Manage ...
    I set the background color to black in the toolbox.  Thank you John Joslin.
    Then I rotated the original image 45 deg clockwise and counterclockwise to make the other two files.  Why to the resulting images look so different?  Why are they lacking in symmetry?  With the other interpolation methods too, clockwise and counterclockwise rotations give quite unlike images.  A partial explanation could be that Photoshop rotates about a point not in the image center, but this doesn't explain enough. I tried 20x20 patterns which showed similar problems.
    I'm mostly interested in bilinear interpolation because this is supposed to conserve the total pixel value.  Each white pixel in the original has value 255, so the blob resulting from this pixel should have total value 255.  Look at <<45cw.bmp>>.The blob on the left has total value 69+94+13+5+18+1=200.  The blob on the right is an almost perfect antipode with total value 1+18+6+13+95+68=201.  The blob at the bottom doesn't resemble the side blobs and has total value 42+56+40+3+55=196.  The blob at the top has total value 40+41+56=137.  Clearly Photoshop has lost the top of the top blob.  (It also does this with 45 deg counterclockwise rotation, and also with 135 deg rotation.)  The blob in the center has total value 49+49+48+47=193.  All of the blobs fall far short of 255.  Photoshop might be excused for messing up edge pixels, but not a central pixel.
    Photoshop messes up rotation at the single pixel level.  I made a test pattern with clusters of 4 white pixels and the rotation of this did conserve the total value for the central four.  Edge pixels still showed problems.  Photoshop image rotation appears to be based on sloppy code.

    Then how do you account for my post 11? How to you account for X2 detecting a extra hidden row on the left and top side of of the image? There is no hidden row on the bottom or rightside.
    Adobe digimarc did not detect anything.
    Paint Shiop Pro X2 digimarc did.
    I have posted the proof. It is not my fault that Adobe digimarc addon cannot detect the watermark.
    The watermark is there.

    Fantasy watermark.  First of all a black pixel isn't a watermark.  It can't "hide" a watermark.  Hiding has no meaning in this context.  If the file header has a digital ID that's fine, but it's not "hidden" in the image, not under a black pixel.
    All of your reported O=255 data is not in the image either.  There aren't enough bytes in the file to specify opacity at each pixel.  This is a 24-bit RGB image not a 32-bit RGBO image.  Maybe O=255 is specified globally somewhere in the header, but I don't see "FF" anywhere in the header.  More likely full opacity is presumed for a RGB image.
    THERE IS NO WATERMARK.
    I suggest you download BinViewer 2.0 and BinEditor 2.0 which are freeware. Look at the file <<original.bmp>>.  You will count 114 zeros between the first "FF FF FF" and the next "FF FF FF".  114 divided by 3 equals 38 so "00 00 00" appears 19 times between the "FF FF FF"s.  Hey, that's the 19 black pixels between two of the corner white pixels.  Now you can use BinEditor 2.0 to change some of the "0"s or "F"s to anything you want.  You can write "dec9" in there.  Save and open in Photoshop to see what you've painted.  It's great fun creating colors and shapes by poking numbers into a file.  It's the opposite of Photoshop's glistening gliding paintbrushes, and it has a powerful truth. 
    This is why I want to know what Photoshop does when, for example, it rotates an image.
