Replace image in frame

Hello,
CS3 vs CS4
I place an image in Indesign CS3 and scale it to 50%
Then I replace the image with an other one and this new image also automatically resizes to 50 %. That's how i want it.
If i do this in CS4 the image fits to the frame. I can change it to 100% but I don't get the 50%.
What't the trick?
Bertil

Thanks Ken,
This works!

If you have this checked, Placing a new graphic over an old one
preserves the size but not the percentage. If you have this
unchecked, Placing a new graphic over an old one preserves the
percentage but not the size.

Script for replacing Image from a frame into InDesign document file

Hi All,
I am having an indesign document (indd) file with images and texts. I am using InDesign Server CS4 to run the scripts via SOAP.
My requirement is to replace any of the images from the required frame/s of indesign document through scripting (I already have frame id of which image needs to be replaced). I have written written java-script file (as given below): but when I execute this java-script on InDesign Server via SOAP, I get follwoing error into InDesign Server:
10/03/09 15:15:54 INFO [javascript] Executing File: \\Server_IP_Address\JavaScript_File_Path\JavaScript_File.js

Following is the java-script that is being used for replacing image from indd's frame:
var myDocument = app.open(File('//Server_IP_Address/InDesignDocument_File_Path/Sample.indd'));
var tmp_frmid="1339"; //frame id of which image needs to be replaced.
for (var i=0;i<myDocument.pages.length;i++)
var objPage=myDocument.pages.item(i);
var objPageitems = objPage.pageItems;
try
var obj = objPageitems.itemByID(tmp_frmid);
obj.images[0].remove;
obj.appliedObjectStyle = null;
var myImage=obj.place(File('//Server_IP_Address/Images_to_be_reolaced_Path/ImageFile.jpg'));
var old_height = myImage.geometricBounds[2] - myImage.geometricBounds[0];
var new_height = obj.geometricBounds[2] - obj.geometricBounds[0];
var old_width = myImage.geometricBounds[3] - myImage.geometricBounds[1];
var new_width = obj.geometricBounds[1] + ((new_height / old_height) * old_width);
myImage.geometricBounds = [obj.geometricBounds[0] + "mm", obj.geometricBounds[1] + "mm", obj.geometricBounds[2] + "mm", new_width + "mm"];
var diff = obj.geometricBounds[1] - myImage.geometricBounds[1];
myImage.move( undefined, [diff,0] );
break;
catch(e)
myDocument.save('//Server_IP_Address/InDesignDocument_File_Path/Sample.indd');
var previewFile = File('//Server_IP_Address/Images_to_be_reolaced_Path/ImageFile.jpg');
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality["JPEGOptionsQuality.low"];
app.documents.item(0).exportFile(ExportFormat.jpg, previewFile);
myDocument.close();
I have very urgent requirement; if anyone have any idea; please suggest me. \
It would be highly appreciable.
Kind Regards,
Prashant.

Can image data frames is shown at the rate of 30frames/sec, will it replace video. If so how?

Actually I dont have camera to acquire video signal, while I have to work on video compression technique H.261. I just wanted to ask that if I dont have camera, can I use the image data frames at the rate of 30frames/sec to show like video or can you suggest any other alternative?.
What labview library supports video compression?
Any example of implemented technique of video compression if any one can suggest?
Thanks in anticipation

Hi @info,
I would suggest you take a look at the Sequence and Save to
AVI.vi example. This can be found by
searching the example finder for AVI.
From the sounds of it this example dose very close or exactly what you
would like to do. As for the compression question I would suggest looking at
the AVI Compressor Comparison.vi

Why can't we replace images in photo stream?

Shared photo streams could be great, but it has a big downside because we cannot replace images in it. How many times haven't I uploaded images that I later wanted to edit? But the only way to replace an image is to delete it and upload a new one. It will appear at the end of the stream as a new project, and all comments will disappear.
Please give us a better way to replace images, that makes it possible to keep the original place in the photo stream, and keep the comments.

Replace Images in Keynote '09

I need to update a presentation with new updated images. Is there a way to swap the current image with another, keeping its animation and properties without going through the pains of inserting the new image, formating it and reapplying the animation. (I can do this in Powerpoint)

Another way I use all the time is to open the package and replace images. As long as the new image has the same name as the original, when you open the document it will load the new image with the same settings as the original. Note that the new version of keynote does not save projects as packages unless you tell it to in the settings... and then it only does that to new documents.

How to replace images in slideshow?

I would like to replace images in slideshow, but I can see only ADD option.

Thanks Parikshit.
Looks the trick would be to turn on Thumbnails, delete the image and turn it off.

Aperture replaces images with other images that have the same image number

Help! Aperture has started replacing images in recent projects with older images from elsewhere on my hard drive that have the same image number. Obviously I need a better numbering system, but can someone help me figure out why this is happening? I store master files on an external drive and the "replacement" files seem to be coming from identically named images on my local HD or in iPhoto.

I started renaming all of my images when I import them. I'm using referenced images to an external drive, although I still have a bunch of older images stored in the Aperture library under my old numbering system (which was basically whatever image number the camera generated)....need to move them all to the external drive but haven't had time.
So here's the latest problem: Today, Aperture started replacing images in albums (referenced images with unique file names under my new system) with old images even though the file names weren't even remotely close. It also replaced the images with the preview for the old image (230 pixels wide). "Show master" showed me the preview for the old image, not the correct image.
I tried forcing an update to the preview, but it had no effect. The real masters are intact on the external drive, but this is really scaring me. It happens out of the blue, right in front of me...I watch as my images appear to be replaced with random old images in Aperture. It appears to have nothing to do with file names, as I'm now using totally unique file names.

Process for replacing images

I would like to get our opinion on how I am working when replacing images.
The help-project has not been updated since it first was generated but much has been done to the system. So there are a lot of images to replace but I have very limited time and the customer want as much as possible to be done. This means that I have to do some things in a way that might not be the best way but is the fastest. But I don’t want to work in a way that we later regret because it causes some problem that I haven’t realized yet. I don’t have much knowledge of the updates of the system or of the RoboHelp-project (what is described in the help, where in the help is it described).
I capture the image with IrfanWiew.
I delete the old image in the Design Editor. (I’m aware that the image is not removed from the project but I will deal with this later.)
I paste the image in the Design Editor. (I find this the fastest way to get the new pictures where they should go.)
When I have finished replacing images I create a folder and drag the images there (either in RoboHelp or in Windows Explorer). The old images are in a separate folder but I don’t want the new images in the same folder because it might be some name conflicts.
I remove unused images by looking at the report Unused Files.
Is this an ok way to work?

If you are replacing one image with another, you could could save them with the same file name and in the same location. Your project should then pick it up. However there is a proviso that the old and new images are exactly the same size. If they are not, you may have to reset the image size inside the Design Editor for each image.
If you use your workflow, I would not paste the image in. Whilst this is acceptable, you'll end up with image file names that bear no resemblance to the image (e.g. image001.png, image002.png, etc.) which may create future difficulties. Also ensure you drag your images from INSIDE your project. If you do this in Windows, your project will be unaware you have moved them and report them as broken links.

Quality issues when importing still images as frames for animation

hello,
i've imported roughly 600 hand-drawn and scanned (600 dpi) images as frames for video. the images themselves are really crisp and perfectly how i want them to appear. i've imported each to play for 2 frames then move to the next. once done, i save this video file as an .avi. i then repeat the process in order to layer the video (using Calculations filter) over and over again, to fill up the screen with overlapped, layered animations. in theory, these layers should all remain crisp, just like the scanned images. i was under the impression that the standard Export... > Movie... .avi file is essentially lossless and is best for editing, however when my process is completed, the final product is muddy, grainy, and pixelated. i'm not sure where i am going wrong, as i've actually done this process before with success.
is there a way to specific the working file as "high definition" or something similar so that the quality is just as crisp as the scanned images i am using as source
any help is appreciated - i am completely self taught in video editing and it is really bugging me that the file output is not how i envisioned.
thanks,
DB

I note you specified that the images were 600 dpi. The dot per inch are an issue only for printing a hardcopy. For video work, the issue is the pixel dimensions and the pixel aspect ratio. If your image is 600 pixels by 400 pixels with a PAR =1.0. If your sequence is 1440 x 1080 with a pixel ratio ratio of 1.33, then the images must be the same and PrPro must scale up the image. You can get good images from imported stills in PrPro. I prefer to rescale my images using Photoshop. I am told that the scaling algorithm in PrPro has been improved. But regardless, if you are scaling up, you will see degradation becauae Prpro has to interpolate between pixels to fill the video frame.

Putting image on Frame in netbeans

Dear All
How can we add an image on frame in netbeans IDE.
From
Rajeev Sarawat

you have to create one class in the same project for the main panel(name it as MyPanel) then go to "customize code" of main panel and instead of default creation do custom creation of the main panel.
here is the code for MyPanel----
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import javax.imageio.*;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.File;
* @author Administrator
class MyPanel extends JPanel {
BufferedImage image;
String file;
public MyPanel(String s) {
setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.black));
file = s;
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
return new Dimension(711,360);
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
try
image = ImageIO.read(new File(file));
}catch(IOException e)
System.out.println(e);
int w = image.getWidth(null);
int h = image.getHeight(null);
BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(w, h, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
g.drawImage(image, 10, 20, null);
i think it would be helpful

Replacing image and keeping existing action in Flash CS5.5

I'm updating an existing Flash swf file that was created using CS5.5. The only thing I have to do is replace the image used. When I import the new image it changes the action used with the existing image. How can I import the image I want to use AND keep the existing action that was used? My apologies if I'm using the wrong forum for this question. Thanks!

attach a screenshot that shows what you're doing when importing and describe the location of the code relative to the about to be replaced image.

Cant' move images from frame to frame inside a Grid in InDesign. Please Help

When creating a grid in indesign there is an option to move images from frame to frame, and having them rotate around the frames to see where each image is best to be placed. Example I created a grid with 6 images (2 rows and 3 columns) and now i want image 1 to be where image 6 is. I know there's a way by hitting the arrows and some other keys and have all the images start rotating. I did it once I just can't remember. Please help. How do you move the an image from one frame to another frame without having to go to edit place?
Thanks,
Paola

Swapping images

Pasting image on frame

How can we paste image(jpg or any other) on the frame.

I mean "how to add an image to frame"
I have written a very simple code:
import java.awt.*;
public class PP extends Frame{
private Image blue_ball;
private Toolkit tk;
public PP(){
     super("IMAGE TEST");
     setSize(500,500);
     tk=Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
     blue_ball=tk.getImage("blue.png");
public void paint(Graphics g){
System.out.println(g.drawImage(blue_ball,0,0,this));
public static void main(String s[]){
     PP p = new PP();
     p.show();
I have "blue.png" image(60*60) in the directory where the "PP.java" is present.
But it is not displaying image on the frame.
The g.drawImage() method returns true if image is drawn , false if not.
when i run this prog , it prints false.
Please , let me me know if there is any peculiar way of doing it.

CS3-style of placing the images inside frames in CS4.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to find a way to have the cs3 - style of placing the images into frames in the new Indy CS4. I mean when I hit cmd+D and draw a frame I don't want any scaling / fitting of the placed image. I know there's no scaling if you drop an image into existing frame but when you draw one on-the-fly it's either the frame that keeps the proportions of the image or when you hold shift the image gets scaled to fit into.
I'd rather have the old style placing as an option - but didn't find such a switch anywhere in the prefs.
Thnx.
R.

Interesting request. I wouldn't have thought anyone would want the older way of creating images in frames, but I guess there's always someone who wants the old ways.
I can't find any preference to restore the behavior back to the pre-CS4 way.
But if you want to work with images the old way, you can. Your commands are just a little different, in a different order. But you may actually save a step.
Consider:
b In CS3 you had to do the following:
1. Drag to create a frame.
2. Switch to the Direct Selection tool.
3. If desired, change the position the image inside the frame
4. If desired, scale the image inside the frame
5. If desired, use the Fitting commands to fit the image inside the frame.
b In CS4 you have to do the following:
1. Drag to create a frame.
2. Switch to the Direct Selection tool.
3. Scale the image inside the frame.
4. Position the image inside the frame.
However, step 5 is probably eliminated as you already started with the image fitting inside the frame.
I agree no one likes to need to learn new work habits, but it's not such a big deal.
