Replace Images

The program I am documenting recently had a version update,
and for some reason the programs decided to change the look of all
icons. I have the images in numerous topics, is there an "easy" way
to replace the images, without having to manually review all 200+
topics?
Thanks!

Hi Christi
As long as the image dimensions haven't changed, the process
should be as simple as saving the updated images to the same
locations using the same file names. Now if you are using source
control, you would want to ensure you updated the source control
databases with the new images too. But I'm not certain how that
would be handled. Perhaps seeing a new date/time stamp on the
images would be sufficient.
Cheers... Rick

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.

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

var objPageitems = objPage.pageItems;
try

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;

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.

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.

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.

Replace images on specific layer

Hi,
till now i used the Script-function in InDesign only for "findandchange"-Actions. It works fine and is very time-saving.
Now I would like to replace images on specific Layers, like I do this with textcontent with the "Findandchange"-Script.
Is this possible?
I try to explain...
Example:
- Find all images "image-a1.tif"(path:folder/folder/image-a1.tif) on specific layer "mylayer"(or only activ and not locked layers)
- Replace all this images with this image "image-a2"tif(path:folder/folder/image-a2.tif)
- Find all images "image-b1.tif"(path:folder/folder/image-b1.tif) on specific layer "mylayer"(or only activ and not locked layers)
- Replace all this images with this image "image-b2"tif(path:folder/folder/image-b2.tif)
- Find all images "image-c1.tif"(path:folder/folder/image-c1.tif) on specific layer "mylayer"(or only activ and not locked layers)
- Replace all this images with this image "image-c2"tif(path:folder/folder/image-c2.tif)
Background Info:
These images have all the same size and resolution. They distinguish only in content (english-/france/german elements).
It's a "multilanguage" InDesign-Document. Every "Languagecontent" have its own layer.
Thanks for helping...

Hi,
Yes you can. I.e using dialog box.
It could be like this:
myDoc = app.activeDocument;
myGraph = myDoc.layers.item("graphic").allGraphics;     // modify layer name
for (k=0; k<myGraph.length; k++)
     oldLink = myGraph[k].itemLink.filePath;     //whole path
     oldFileName = File(oldLink).name;              //only file name
    newFileName = myDialog(oldFileName);     // new name is read from dialog
     if ( !newFileName ) continue;                         // if user press "cancel" button - no action
     newLink = File(oldLink.replace(oldFileName,newFileName) );    // replace file names within path
     if (File(newLink) instanceof File)                     // if wrong newLink - no action
        myGraph[k].itemLink.relink(newLink);     //relink graphic
function myDialog(oldName)
    var myWindow = new Window ("dialog", "Replacing images");
    var myInputGroup = myWindow.add ("group");
    myInputGroup.orientation = "column";
    myInputGroup.alignChildren = "left";
    myInputGroup.add ("statictext", undefined, "Old Name: " + oldName);
    myInputGroup.add ("statictext", undefined, "New Name:");
    var myText = myInputGroup.add ("edittext", undefined, ".eps");
    myText.characters = 20;
    myText.active = true;
    var myButtonGroup = myWindow.add ("group");
    myButtonGroup.alignment = "right";
    myButtonGroup.add ("button", undefined, "OK");
    myButtonGroup.add ("button", undefined, "Cancel");
    var OKbutton = myWindow.show ();
        if (OKbutton == 1) myRes = myText.text;
        else myRes = false;
    return myRes;

Batch Replace Images

I have been working on a project that requires a slide presentation consisting solely of a number of .psd images. While waiting for one final asset from the client, I decided to go ahead and throw together the presentation in Keynote, thinking I could just update the .psd images easily after I finished editing them with the final asset. However, to my dismay, I have learned that Keynote isn't intelligent in this regard to realize when I have updated assets used by it, nor does it give me any tools to accomplish the task of updating an image short of recreating the entire project.
Is there a way to batch replace images used by Keynote? This seems like an incredibly simple workflow task, but it seems there is no simple way to do it. I found one other thread that suggested looking at the package contents of my .key document, but that doesn't seem to work anymore - the option to view package contents doesn't show up on my context menu.
I'm going to go ahead and spend the hour recreating this document, but it would be nice to know the answer to this question for future reference! This is something I know even PowerPoint can accomplish... :/

Welcome to the forums!
Keynote files are still packages, but the default behaviour for Keynote is to compress them as a ZIP file. If you change the file extension from .key to .zip, then uncompress the result, you will get a folder with the package contents, including the images. To make this back into a standard package, just add the .key extension to the folder (to get the compressed package, first compress the folder, then add the .key).
You can control whether a package is stored as a single compressed file or not in the Keynote Preferences.

Muse Replace Image (Shoot It Template)

Hi, hope someone can help me
I am using Shoot It Template (shootit | Photography Business Adobe Muse Template | museGrid.comhttp://musegrid-pictureit.businesscatalyst.com/)
I am trying to replace the first image (see below) with right click on mouse and select ''replace image''. The little image (shoes) is been replacing in the widget but the bigger image is not. I am replacing because I want to keep the widget photo configuration like for example shrink the photo when you make smaller the internet explorer.
What I am doing wrong, any help will be appreciated.
I'm using Muse 2014 2.1.10
<a href="http://s704.photobucket.com/user/usernamefer/media/Shoot%20It.png.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/ww44/usernamefer/Shoot%20It.png" border="0" alt=" photo Shoot It.png" style=""></a>

Hello,
You can try doing the same (Right click-->Replace image) separately for the bigger image as well. In Muse slideshows, you need to replace the thumbnail images and the bigger images separately.
Also, the responsiveness of the widget should still remain intact after replacing the image.
Regards,
Neha

Update or replace images

How to update or replace images in Pages without placing them again?

The sizing should work to make it fit the way you had it, cropping is a whole other issue however,
I understand what you are after, because you want to update an edited version of the same image.
Pages is not that co-operative and whilst it tends to repeat styling I am never quite sure how it decides what it will include or not of the properties.

How to replace image on click

Hello all,
I have a report where I am having a edit column with a image:
<a href="javascript:jump('''
|| emp".emp_id
|| ''','''
|| rownum
|| ''');"
|| onclick="movepic();">'
|| '<img name="edit1" src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#edit.gif" alt="">'
|| '</a>' edit,
jump() function opens an popup, but I am calling another function movepic() onclick of the image, where I am replacing the original image with another image, here is the function:
function movepic(){
var img_src = '#APP_IMAGES#edit_y.gif';
document.getElementById("edit1").src=img_src;
Popup is opening correctly but the image does not changes, and it is not showing any error also.
Please tell me where I am going wrong.
Thanks

I have changed the code
now I am passing the rownum as the parameter to the movepic function
that function is working actually but when I click on edit image it is not replacing with the another image, but after clicking it is not showing any thing in place of edit image.
movepic function is here:
function movepic(num){
var img_src = '#APP_IMAGES#edit_y.gif';
var img = "edit" + num;
document.getElementById(img).src=img_src;
I think the problem is with the img_src variable, in which I am assigning the image source.
Please check it, if it is correct.
thanks

Easy way to replace images in keynote without losing formating?

I have a keynote document that contains a large number of images which have been formated in various ways using the tools in keynote (resizing, masking, builds, etc.). When I noticed that the presentation was performing rather slows (locking up, delayed response, etc.), I took a closer look at the image files and discovered that they were 600 dpi. I changed the resolution of the files down to 72dpi in photoshop and replaced the original image with this new lower resolution version. The performance and that slide was greatly improved. However, I now have over 100 images that need the same treatment. I can pull the image file out of keynote fairly easily by dragging the file icon from the file info box of the the metrics tab of the inspector window into a finder folder. BUT, here is the question: is there a way to quickly and easily replace the original 600dpi images in keynote with the new ones that I have scaled down to 72 dpi in photoshop? As far as I can tell, I cannot simply drag the new image (or copy/paste) into the file info box of the metrics pane in the inspector window. Any suggestions???

If the scaling between the 600 DPI and 72 DPI versions of the images are different, then there likely isn't any way to do a bulk change. If, on the other hand, you just need to replace the images themselves, but the same effects are applied (e.g., same scaling, masking, etc.), then you may be able to batch replace them by tinkering with the presentation package. All Keynote presentation are actually "packages", collections of files that appear to the Finder as a single file. If you select the presentation icon while holding down the Control key, then choose "Show Package Contents" from the popup menu, you'll see the files inside the presentation. These files will include the original image files. If you name your 72 DPI files exactly the same as their 600 DPI versions, and replace the old versions with the newer, smaller versions, Keynote should use those new images exactly as it did the old ones.
If you have done a bunch of transformations on the images in Keynote, I'm a bit dubious that this will work, but it may be worth a shot.

Automatically Replacing Images Without Losing Previous Image's Action

I've created updated versions of some images in a Keynote presentation, but the images they replace have actions assigned to them. Is it possible to update a pre-existing image so the updated version retains any actions?

You have two options for this. The best option is to define the image as a media placeholder. Go to Format>Advanced>Define as Media Placeholder. Then you can change images and keep all actions.
The other option is if you have saved your Keynote as a package, you can right click the icon and choose show package contents. Then make sure the new images are the exact same name as the ones you wish to change and drag them into the folder. You be asked if you want to replace the file already named --- and click yes. Keynote will then change the old picture with the new one. I would only use this option if you are changing a lot of images at once and it is too time consuming to use the other method.
