Replacing placeholder images?

Hello
How do I replace placeholder images in Pages '09? I've already resized everything and don't want to redo it all over again by dragging the intended images one by one. Thanks!

Nevermind, I found what I was looking for

Is it possible to change the theme placeholder images in iPhoto '11

Can the placeholder images be replaced or removed in iPhoto 11 card projects? Simply, one of the images reminds my wife and I of a very distressing event in our lives. We'd prefer to not see it every time we make a greeting card when we're trying to celebrate something more joyful. Obviously, there's nothing wrong with the images per se. This is very personal.

iPhoto.app in your Applications Folder. Right Click on it and select 'Show Package Contents'
It opens a Finder window at Contents. Inside that Folder find Resources. Inside there find the bothersome image and replace it with one that’s the same name, size and format.
Back up first.

What's the process to replace an image inside a mask?

Hi There,
The new replace image function is a massive time saver but it doesn't seem to work with masked images.
These images are masked because they're part of an animation so I really need to replace them - not re-import and re-create the animation from scratch.
If this isn't possible, how do I remove the mask? That way I could just delete the mask, replace the image, then re-mask.
Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

The image replace works perfectly with a masked image intact, only if the two images dimensions are the same.
However, doing the following gets you 95% of the way with just a final tweak of the mask:
select the image on the slide
Format > Copy Animation
then replace image
Format > Paste Animation
Format > Image > Edit Mask

New to java: how to replace an image extending a JComponent?

Hi,
I'm new to Java and I have a question about Swing:
I have a class called ActiveImage (entends JComponent, implements     MouseMotionListener, MouseWheelListener) which takes an Image and displays it. It also receives some mouse events for zooming and moving it around. I display it in a JFrame using:
content = getContentPane();
content.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
image = toolkit.getImage (filename);
ActiveImage activeImage = new ActiveImage(image);
content.add(activeImage, BorderLayout.CENTER);
(This code is in a class extending JFrame.)
This works fine. However, this JFrame also contains a JToolbar with two buttons. Now when I click one of them, I want to replace the image with another one. I've tried removing it and creating a new ActiveImage to add that to content, but that didn't work very well. remove() resulted in a NullPointerException.
My question: what would be the best way to go about this?
Many thanks for any help,
Diederick de Vries

B.T.W., this is the trace:

theButton.addActionListener (new ActionListener() {
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
          System.out.println("button clicked");
          activeImage.setImage(image);
});Reading the trace, I would think that the exception has something to do with this last code, since it stops there (line 60 is the setImage()). If the setImage() function itself was where the fault was, wouldn't the trace end there?
I'm really at a loss here ... :-(

How Can I replace an image and save the same size as the previous?

I want to replace an image in a PDF, but I would like to keep the same size, and location as the previous. I have tried to to it, but the new image takes a different size.
This is a PDF exported from an InDesign template.

Thank you.
The problem is that the person to edit the PDF doesn´t have ID and doesn't know how to use it.
The idea is that the design department create very sharp ID templates for people from other departments of the company only have to replace information (text and image).
We are looking for a program to edit PDF files and function as templates forreplacement information.

How to Replace Background Image?

I needed to replace a background still. In photoshop I changed the background still and saved it as itself.Then I opened Encore, but the old background still appeared. In the Project Panel, I selected the image and tried to replace it with the new image but I got the message that the asset was already imported. I went back and changed the name of the new image to a different name and retried to replace the old image. Encore di replace the old image with the new image in the Project Panel but did not replace the image in my menu. So I had to manually delete the old image in the menu, drag the new image into the menu and manually center it. Is there a better way?

I needed to replace a background still. In photoshop I changed the background still and saved it as itself.Then I opened Encore...
This makes it sound like you did this "outside" Encore, which begs for trouble.
Use "edit in photoshop" from inside Encore, so that Encore knows about the change you made.
Or delete the menu from Encore, change it, then import it in its changed form.

Is there a quick & easy way to replace an image within an image frame?

Is there a quick and easy way to replace an image in an image frame that is already set up with the proper effects?
In my example, I have a photo grid and just need to replace the photos periodically. Everything is already in place in the grid. I don't want to recreate the grid on the page.
I thought that I could have clicked to get the brown frame for the image and placed a new one, but that didn't work. Or, I could have right clicked and found something like "replace image", but that didn't work.
How can I quickly and easily just click on the image I need to replace and replace it with another one?

There is an easy way to do this. Click on the image you would like to change and then change the fill to the new image. You will see the fill option in the upper left when you have the image you would like to change selected.

Replacing all image types in a book TIF - PNG

We recently have changed from using TIF's to PNG's we did some tests and found that was a better solution for us. I wanted to know if there was any trick or fix that FM could do so that when I open a chapter and the image reference comes up missing because of this file type change if I could actually not have to sit there for 5 hours pointing to each image that has the same name but now uses PNG rather than TIF.
There is also the issue of moving files that has always made me frustrated with FM. If I reference multiple folders for images I should only have to point to the folder once, but FM seems to see the files in order that they are listed so it won't replace referenced images from an older folder and associate all of those files from the missing folder to the new folder you point to when you "show it the reference".
The other half of this problem is replacing references to images used multiple times. If you tell the file that IMAGE1.tif is now newIMAGE1.png why is it that I have to do that for each time that image appears. It's not like FrameMaker shows me what the reference is so I have no idea where it's used.
I used to use BookUtils but this doesn't seem to be supported anymore.

Just wanted to say that all my images are PNG and I have been using FM8; then, I downloaded the trial version of FM9, and FM9 pops-up windows of "missing files" to all my PNG grahics that I had initially created and linked to my FM8 documents. I then have to locate each and every file that I have saved in various locations on my network. Also, If I save a document with a new file name, in a different area on my network, the links to the files are broken and the "missing file" links pop-up in both FM8 and FM9. I don't know another way of locating and re-linking the PNG graphics to the new file paths other than to locate each one individually. It's costing me a lot of time to re-link graphics and I have many graphics and documents. Any suggestions? Demi

Problem with placeholder images

Hi,
I am building an iBooks Author template from the scratch. I am adding placeholder images all around one of my layouts, but when adding new sections based upon this layout, dragging real images to placeholder ones does not work so long. The placeholder image frame even does not highlight.
When I mouse over the placeholder image there is a message saying "This is a placeholder image, etc." but all efforts to drag any JPEG, PNG... image over it were successful. I have no idea what is happening. Placeholders are not blocked in my layouts, etc. etc.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply vinnyvg but cannot replicate what you are saying. What do you mean by being editable for images? Do you mean just unlocked or is there something else?
Anyway here are the steps I took to try it out, was working on sections layouts so went on the layout panel and rightclicked a section layout to duplicate it. Then cleaned it compleately and placed into it my design elements. On those I needed as placeolders I kept them unloacked and checked the Format Advance make media placeholder option command + alt + control + I, then i brought it to the top and saved the layout and tried to applay it to a section in the book.
The layout gets applied and the image if pointed with the mouse says "this is a placeholder..." but when I try to grab a nuew one and drop in it, it does not get focus and I get a new image inserted into the page.
What am I doing worng?

Can you replace existing images in Captivate 7 the way you can when using InDesign?

Can you replace existing images in Captivate 7 the way you can when using InDesign? I need to replace some images but wondering if I'll need to reformat, resize, rename for the Advanced Action, etc.

The work flow is a bit more complicated than in InDesign (keeps only a link to the image as you know in the frame). I understand the problem with the advanced/shared action references. This is my work flow, maybe someone else has an easier, shorter one:
Right-click on the image and use 'Find in Library' or use CTRL-ALT-F if it works on your keyboard (doesn't on my AZERTY one)
In the Library use the right-click menu to open the Properties or double-click the name of the image
In that dialog box, choose 'Import' and choose your new image; for some reason you cannot choose from the Library however, which I find really sad because I'm used to import all assets to the Library.
Drawback: if the new image has not the same width/height ratio, it will adapt to the original size of the image, you can use Edit image to repair. You'll keep the name of the image, you don't have to change advanced/shared actions.

Replace new image into existing project

I need to replace a image that I used in a transition. This image will fly in from the side from my start page to my main page.
I originally made everything the way I wanted then duplicated the state then I moved the items to be flown on to the page or faded into the page etc...
but now the new imported image is only on one state. if I copy the image from the main state and paste the image to the start state and try to make a transition the image only gets a fade in selection in the timeline. Even if I move the image it will still only fade in. I want the image to fly in from the side.
I think what is happening is that the image is no longer "Linked" between states so it does not know where the graphic starts and where it should end.
It thinks its 2 different graphics. Is their a better way than to copy and paste state to state to be able to keep the association and create a transition?
Otherwise I have to redo hours of work just to replace an image ?????
Please help....

Hi Curtis,
Transitions are between the same item (or "instance" to be fancy) when it has different properties (like position, size, opacity, rotation,etc) in different states. When you import an image, you create a new item in the Art Board. If you copy-paste, you create another item.
If you want the same item to show up in multiple states, right click it and choose "Share to State" and the state you want it to appear in.
There's also a "Make same in All States" that makes an item have the same appearance in all states that it's present in.
For your specific case, though, you have transitions already working on an image, so you should just change the image to have a new source. Click the image that had been working before, click the "source" in the Properties Inspector (lower right), and you should have the ability to change where your image is coming from.

Can I replace an image of a Figure?

I have many Figures, but improvements to the images means I have to update them often. This is a pain. Because I have not been able to find how I can replace the image inside the Figure. So I delete the Figure and create a new one. As a result, I have to redo capton, title and redo all the hypelrinks to that Figure.
Is there a better way?

No, no better way. I ran into the same issue, as have numerous other people. To replace the image, you have delete the entire thing, re-insert it, reposition it, and re-enter the caption and title (use copy-and-paste). Tedious…

Placeholder Images in Templates?

If you go to a section template and place a video (media object) there, and then apply it to all of the layouts that use said template... you can go to the individual sections and drag media into those spots. However, if you place a "placeholder" image into a template and apply it, it renders that placeholder into your sections. The idea I had was to have on the first page of every section a photo I could drop in (after the writing is done) for visual interest, etc.
Not sure why Apple did not add a Photo object to the Widgets menu but it creates a limitation in situations like this. We have the Gallery but what if you only want a single photo? You still have to view the arrows / gallery nav buttons regardless. Am I missing something obvious?
I suppose I could put a border there and drop the photo over it in the section layouts but that seems pretty clunky. Maybe I'll try an image or two with transitions via Keynote widget so there's no buttons. At least then it will be automated and clean looking.

Possibly. I've not tried the Craft template. It's been a while now since I generated the file I'm working on but I think I'm using a variation of Contemporary. But yes when I look at that section page it seems to have a photo placeholder. Where is that widget (for general use) or is there one? Guessing not based on my searchings for it the last few weeks.
So are you saying I could copy that section, drop it into the other document and then pluck the image placeholder out of there and place it in the right section?
(No Dice... I just tried it and that image gets rendered too upon being applied.)
