Small images a link to bigger ones.

Is it possible in iWeb to make a small image a link to a bigger one? In other sites that I have seen you can click on an image and a larger one will come up.

Hi Jonathan,
When I responded to the OP's question, I assumed she was looking for a way to link to an image larger than the 800x600 maximum allowable size in iWeb, as in this example:
http://web.mac.com/mark8heaton/iPhoto/treemoving/BEF04635-B86E-4AD3-8064-1761884 E9D6B.jpg
Wasn't sure of the OP's intentions, just thought she wanted a way to link to a larger, external file, or a larger 'image page' by itself, in iWeb, rather than going directly to a slideshow page.

Smaller images from linking Word doc not showing in RH8 Webhelp

I am using RH8 and linking Word Documents. Will generate as WebHelp. All images are pasted into the word documents using Snagit. The images are varying in size and need to be that way. It seems as though RH8 imports larger images as .jpg files and display fine but converts the smaller ones to .png files and they are not displayed. Only a box is displayed saying the image file is missing for the smaller .png files. The larger .jpg files display fine. Why are they coming in as different types? Does anyone know of a work around to fix this? Upon searching the forum for an answer I only found a script that will make all images one size. Is there a setting either in Word or RH8 that needs to be adjusted? Thank you for your help.

See Snippet 125 on my site.
If Word is treating the images differently when you paste, which seems odd, try inserting via Word's menus.

How can i put one small image on another big image at particular point

Hi,
I have combined two images but new mask image is totally overwrite and come in whitecolored not in original color.....

But i want to put small image on big image at particular point...... that i m tired to search but i can't find.......
Any thing is remaining then pls tell me...

Check the Quartz2D documents on Apple's site. Do a search in your examples folder in the developer folder and on Apple's site for Masks. I haven't used them under this API but that's probably the best place to start.

Dividing One large Image to many smaller images

Dear Java developers,
I have 1 Large Image, and I want to divide it
into many smaller images, But I don't see
any Java API to make it...
Anybody can help me ?
Thanks in Advance,

I'd guess using BufferedImage and subimages thereof is faster than filtering it. Although it depends much on the implementation of the original image source, and its caching strategies. But it's pretty certain that when you are creating a BufferedImage which is appropriate for you current color model, you avoid most conversions which may be needed when rendering directly from an image source.
Having said that, the image source and filtering way may even use more memory and cpu than the buffered image way. At least temporary. But the image source is allowed to release almost all memory associated with the image, down to retaining only the original URL.
In simpler words:
- With BufferedImage you can be quite sure how much memory it will need. Add up the space needed for the Raster and auxiliary data and there you are. It won't change much over time. But it's not present in JDK 1.1.
-- Simple, predictable and modern.
- ImageSource is pretty much opaque in how much memory it will use. However, it's interface allows dropping most resources and re-creating them on demand. Of course, you'll know what it does when you're implementing it yourself. Which I tend to do from time to time.
-- Complex (flow control), opaque but present in JDK 1.1.
Your mileage may vary. There would be no challenge in programming if there were no tough decisions to be made ;-)

When I click images or links that should automatically open in a new window, instead a new blank window opens.

For some time now and after firefox has automatically been updated a few times, I click on images or links which are supposed to open in a new window automatically. A new window opens but it is blank with no toolbars, just an adress bar with nothnig in it.

mha007, Thank you. I walked through your suggested solutions and finally disabled all add-ons and restarted them one by one. The culprit seems to be ViewSourceWith 0.8.11. Interestingly when it is enabled I had to go to TaskManager to force Firefox to quit.
Maybe this information will help others. I don't know if the cache clearing etc helped but I would suggest that others start but Bringing up Firefox in Safe Mode (hold shift when you select the icon), disable all add-ons and then start them one by one.
Of course if you have ViewSourceWith maybe you should just disable it first rather than go through the tedium of restarting each add-on separately. To get to the add-ons when it won't open from the toolbar type about:addons in the address area.

The curser includes a text box from a previous image or link when the curser is positioned on the side of the page. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. how do i get rid of this?

the cursor includes a text box from a previous image or link when the cursor is positioned on the side of the page. it will mainly happen when i hit "back" from the page i was on. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. i also keep several tabs open and it will carry over to any one of them i go to. how do i get rid of this?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== when i upgraded to most recent version 3.6.8

A number of extensions can cause that problem, you'll need to do a little troubleshooting to find out which extension is causing that to happen for you.

How can you have two link styles on one page?

I have one style (formatted link style) for internal links in
my footer but I want a different style for the external links in my
mainContent. Is it possible to have two different "styles" of links
on one page? I tried creating a new set for the mainContent links
and being positioned underneath my footer link's styles, the "new"
mainContent link styles overrode the footer link style. Is there
another way of going about this?
Thanks anyone, Julie

How do I create a new image composed of a number of smaller images?

Hi,
I'm attempting to work with the assorted image APIs for the first time and am experiencing one main problem with what I'm trying to do. Here's the scenario;
I have an image file (currently a JPEG) which is 320*200 pixels in size, it contains a set of 20*20 images. I want to take such a file and convert it into a new JPG file containing all those 20*20 images but in a different grid, for example a single column.
I'm currently having no problem in working my way through the input file and have created an ArrayList containing one BufferedImage for each 20*20 image. My problem is that I just can't see how to create a new file containing all those images in new grid.
Any help would be much appreciated and FWIW I've included the code I've written so far.

Construct a new BufferedImage whose width is the width of a tile, and whose height is the height of a tile times the number of tiles.BufferedImage colImg = new BufferedImage(m_tileSizeX,
                                         m_tileSizeY * m_numberOfXTiles * m_numberOfYTiles,
                                         BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);Now write the tiles onto it.Iterator it = imageList.iterator();
int columnYPos = 0;
Graphics g = colImg.getGraphics();
while (it.hasNext())
    g.drawImage((Image)it.next(), 0, columnYPos, null);
    columnYPos += m_tileSizeY;
}Now save your image.*******************************************************************************

Small images not showing in design view

Desperate for help! I've been trying to diagnose this for a
long time. For some strange reason, images that used to show up in
my design view are now displaying the 'missing image' icon. I've
narrowed it down to this--if the image is less than 8px high, the
image will not display. When I increase it to 8px or more high
(width does not have any bearing on it), the image is displayed.
Same exact image name, same placement, path, file type, etc. The
only variable changed is the image height. Someone please tell me
what is going on. By the way, this just started to happen. These
small images were displaying fine up until yesterday.

You have two id="header" elements on the page....
I can see both the 5px tall GIF and JPG images just fine in
CS4.

<FunctionalCapability Name="ID_FUNCCAP_EXTEND_MEM"/>
</FunctionalCapabilities>
by doing this am I free from out of memory exception?
Any help ,
Thanks...

HTML content with images and links blocked

Hello,
I very much need some help here because my company needs to send out newsletters to our clients in HTML format soon and so far the email with HTML content is being blocked as spam while text content works fine. Specifically, whenever I add a link or an image in HTML content, the email doesn't go through. I tried sending in multipart format but it is also not sending HTML with images and links. Here is my attempt:

The JavaMail FAQ has information on creating HTML messages, including
messages with both plain text and HTML. Did you find it?
BTW, your code has many unnecessary statements, such as setting
the Mime-Version header, which JavaMail will do for you, and setting
the Content-Type header, which JavaMail does as a side-effect of the
setContent or setText calls.
Other than that, it looks like your code should be correctly creating a
multipart/alternative message. If the recipient is still rejecting it you
need to figure out what it is about the message that makes the recipient
think it's spam. Can you send a similar message using another mailer?
Can you send the message to a different recipient?

HT3702 Is there any limit to the number of itunes account that can be linked to the one credit card?

Hi. Does anyone know if there is a limit to the number of itunes accounts that can be linked to the one credit card?
Thanks,

Craig,
It was image.cpp line 2770. I am told (by another person in the company that has seen this) that it has been seen on several machines, always PXI controllers, but not on all PXI controllers. I am told that it is not always image.cpp that reports the error, but for me it was always the same line of code identified by the error message. I did not have a chance to do any experimenting to find a particular threshold number of mnu files. I may be able to find error logs. I currently sent the controller to our IT department, doing a windows XP repair, just in case there was something corrupted in the system itself.
The error was reproducible. This installation at one time must have included real-time / FPGA, because on the opening screen I ge the drop-down ring for selecting a target. If I click on this drop down ring, I get the crash on line 2770, every time. If, instead I open an empty new VI, I am able to switch to the block diagram by selecting the window directly with the mouse, but if I try to pull down on the "window" menu to do "show block diagram", I get the crash on line 2770, every time. Because the user-defined mnu files are now deleted, I would have to create them again, or find a way to reinstall them, to reproduce the error at this point.

White line on small images

I inserted some small images to act as link-buttons. For some reason, some of them display a white line on the top. See the apple logo for instance here: http://kojema.net/cs/siteinfo.html
and the green buttons here: http://kojema.net/cs/audio.html
I used the same green button image another place, and there it did not display the white line. I used Aperture to crop the original images, and then simply dragged them into iWeb. What is causing this? The lines aren't visible in iWeb. But after I publish the site. there they are.
Thanks.
P.S. Is it just me, or does Firefox cause an enormous loss of color in jpegs?

There are a few solutions to the problem, see my post in this thread:

OpenGL Best Only for Small Images in CS5?

I've been using Photoshop CS5 daily from shortly after the day it was released on my Windows 7 x64 system. I have a decent dual processor dual core w/hyperthreading workstation with 8 GB of RAM and a VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 4670 video card with 1GB of onboard video RAM. Mostly I've been editing relatively small images (10 to 20 megapixels), though I've successfully made some pretty big panoramas.
Outside of a few glitches, most of which were solved with 12.0.1 (i.e., things like crashing or stuck processes after shutdown), I've had very good results with Photoshop CS5.
I tried the various OpenGL settings, and since the "Basic" setting seems to stress OpenGL the least while still providing me access to the new OpenGL features (e.g., brush gestures), I have chosen that setting. Keep in mind this decision was also influenced by the sheer number of OpenGL-related issues being reported here.
However, in the past day I have been working on a rather larger image... Not huge, as Large images go, but large enough that it has caused me some unexpected Photoshop trouble. Basically, it's a set of 7 digital camera images of 10 megapixels arranged in a 12 x 36 inch layout at 600 ppi. Overall image size is 21,600 x 7200 pixels x 16 bits/channel. The image on disk is roughly a gigabyte. Here's a small version so you can see what I'm talking about...
I had this image in 2 layers - the images with transparent surround and outer bevel layer style, and the background blue. The customer wanted the images spread out a bit more so I undertook to do so - by lassoing sets of the images and moving them apart.
Here's where the trouble began. Some of the work involved zooming in, to say 250% or closer, to check alignment and to nudge things as needed.
While working on this image I find Photoshop gets quite sluggish, though it's not hard on the disk drive.
After I moved everything into place and did File - Save, my system simply froze as the progress bar reached 1 pixel shy of a full bar. That required a hard reset of the computer. No events were logged in the Windows System or Application logs.
I redid the work, and second time I did File - Save As... the dialog never came up. Photoshop just disappeared. Again, no errors logged.
Today I ran through the edit again, this time with OpenGL turned off. I found:
1. The system was nowhere near as sluggish when displaying the image at high magnifications. I could move things around easier.
2. I was able to complete the same edits again (the 3rd time) and File - Save As... successfully.
Today I upgraded my ATI drivers to Catalyst 10.6, re-enabled OpenGL in Photoshop, and went through the same edits on the same file a 4th time.
1. Same sluggishness as before when zoomed in.
2. After moving the images around, when I went to use the Spot Healing Brush Photoshop crashed: Unhandled Exception, 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000007e8ebb0.
I don't have Photoshop debugging symbols, but this is what the Call Stack showed in the debugger:
I will continue to experiment with this to see if I can isolate what's causing it, but the one key thing here is that it works with OpenGL turned off, and it fails in several ways with OpenGL turned on with a powerful, relatively modern video card.

Thanks for your responses.
I'm investigating the Normal and Advanced settings with this same image as time permits.
So far I've been able to complete the same edits and save the file successfully with OpenGL set to Normal. Notably as well Photoshop was VERY much more responsive.
It's a very small sample size, but one might be forgiven for concluding that Photoshop has had the most testing with the OpenGL setting at default. I do plan to continue testing with this image, as it seems to be a good one for stressing the system and reproducing one or more problems.
I may have been wrong in my judgment that the Basic OpenGL setting stresses the system less.
As far as why I'm working with a 16 bit image and at this high a resolution, I am specifically pushing Photoshop hard since with a 64 bit system these things should be possible, and I haven't gotten a lot of experience working on big images with 12.0.1. While this particular image does not require it (especially for a 12 x 36 print) I often DO work on 1 gigabyte or more astroimages, and I just haven't had a good big one to work on lately.

What is the best way to add multiple images with links into an email signature?

I created an email signature with five linked images by:
* creating new message
• attached the image
• adding link to the image
• copied new email signature
• under Preferences/Signature added the new signature
It all works, but some of the emails bounced back. When we removed the images, the email went through.
I tried putting all the images into Photoshop and making it all one image, used the slice tool to create a link for each image and brought that single image into the signature, but that didn't work as separate links.
Any suggestions?

Hi Bob.
So what I should have done on my PC for all my files is gone to the File menu and used the Package command which would have converted it into a file with the images in it so they wouldn't need to be relinked.
From now on I will only be working on Mac (I gave away my PC) but I'm sure I could use a friend's pc (or at a later point install Windows on my Mac). But to use the Package command on PC I need to actually have the images in the correct folder on the PC right?

Small images a link to bigger ones.
