Strange problem with image scaling when placed

I'm currently running InDesign CS6 from the Creative Cloud, and it's version 8.0. I have a PC and am running Windows 8.
I am experiencing a really odd problem when placing images, and it only recently (within the last two weeks perhaps?) has developed. I do ebook production for a publisher. I have an InDesign template (INDD file really, but "blank" and ready to be filled in, and as such I refer to it as a "template") that I use, and the cover for the book goes on the first page. The document is set to pixels as the ruler measurement, and the pages are 650 pixels wide by 800 pixels tall. The margins are all set at zero. The cover images are sent to me as JPEGs and always have the same size: 72dpi setting and 500 pixels wide by 750 pixels tall. This is chosen to be about the size of the full screen on most ereaders, or close enough to be so.
So when working on a new book, I put my cursor in the blank line that is set up to take the cover as an inline image. I do control-D to place, select the file, and hit enter. This SHOULD place an image at that location that is 500 pixels wide and 750 pixels tall when looking at the InDesign page rulers. Instead, InDesign insists on placing this image at 50% scaling, so that it is only 250 pixels wide by 375 pixels tall. And in the link info panel, it shows the actual PPI as 72 and the effective PPI as 144. It does this no matter how many preference changes I try (including the ones under file handling and the import setting options).
The strangest part is that if the file is just a tiny bit different than 500x750 @72dpi, then there is no problem. For example, if I open the JPEG in Photoshop and change the image settings to 500x750 @73dpi, then InDesign places it at 100% scale like I want. If I change the image to 499x749 @72dpi it also gets placed in InDesign at 100% scaling. I've tried this with various new INDD documents with settings in pixels, inches, or picas as the ruler amounts, and with different page or margin sizes (just in case the problem is with my template). I get the same result no matter what.
It appears that InDesign somehow thinks that any image that is exactly 500x750 @72dpi should be scaled at 50% when placing it into an InDesign file. Has anyone else run across this? Is it a bug or something I'm doing wrong? I've been doing this exact procedure for over a year, first with CS5 and now CS6, and I've never had this happen until just recently. I suppose it COULD be an accidental change in settings or preferences. But if it is, I cannot figure out how to change it back.
UPDATE: I installed the 8.0.1 update and it did not resolve the issue. I also tried more image options. It looks like this scaling to 50% upon placing ONLY happens when all three attributes match this: 500x750@72dpi. All of the following modifications to the exact same image placed in the exact same spot in the exact same document resolved the issue:
501x750@72dpi
499x750@72dpi
500x751@72dpi
500x749@72dpi
500x750@71dpi
500x750@73dpi
But of course, I don't want to have to modify every cover image I'm sent in order to prevent this scaling issue.

I just tried this and got the same results (CS6, 8.0.1, on WinXP SP3). One other tidbit: the same 500px × 750 px @ 72ppi image saved as TIFF instead of JPEG worked correctly (at least for me). I haven't tried any other image formats yet.
This sounds like a good candidate for an official bug report: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

Problems with image scaling

I'm facing a real problem with image scaling
I've used several algorithms but it all has defects but the most common thing is the out of memory error after several enlargments...
does any one know a solution...
note:
I've used several packages to do so,but I'm looking for a solution from the jdk itself
JAlexscorpio

Did you take into account that the getScaledInstance() -method creates a completly new Image?
So if you use it like in
ImageIcon icon1=new ImageIcon("Blah.gif");
ImageIcon icon2=new ImageIcon(icon1.getImage().getScaledInstance(400,400,SCALE_FAST);
you will end up with 2 different Images which have their own data and memory requirements.
even if you use something like
ImageIcon icon1=new ImageIcon("Blah.gif");
Image i=icon1.getImage();
icon1.setImage(i.getScaledInstance(200,200,SCALE_FAST));
You will need enough memory to store the data for the original image, as well as the data for the scaled
version of the image, at least for the time that it take the JRE to create the scaled version. You never know when the garbage collector kicks in to delete you old data so it could be that this takes some time and until
that moment your memory is not available. If your now doing several of the scaling operations, and there is no chance for the garbage collector to do its work, you will run out of memory.
I hope that might help, if not feel free to post again

Problem with CSS files when placed in multiple locations.

Hi,
In our application we have a folder structure for the code files. Folder structure looks something like the one shown below:
ABC
---Scripts
---Stylesheets
DEF
Scripts
Stylesheets
Common
---Scripts
---Stylesheets
The problem is, if we create a CSS file and place it in its module specific folder (Eg: ABC) to which it belongs to and call the CSS on a page, then the styles are not getting applied to the page. But if we move the stylesheet to the Common folder, then page renders properly. In common folder, we already have a common CSS which is used across the project.
Facing similar problem with module specific and common js files.
We have to move all the module specific files to the module folders and all the common files to be placed in the Common folder.
MII Version: 11.5
Please help!
Regards,
Rajesh.

Rajesh,
Also note that, If your html is referencing to multiple css files then the last referenced CSS file style classes will override all the style class having same names in the previous css files.
for example,
say CSS1 has
.bodycolor
background-color:yellow;
.button
color:red;
h1
font-size:50pt;
and CSS2 has
.bodycolor
background-color:red;
.button
color:yellow;
And your HTML is,
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css1.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css2.css"/>
<title>CSS Test</title>
</head>
<body class="bodycolor">
<h1>Hello World</h1>
<input type="button" class="button" name="B1" id="B1" value=" Click " size="50">
</body>
</html>
In this case the classes "bodycolor" and "button" will be overridden by css2 file but h1 will be taken from css1
Hope this helps!!

Adarsh

Problem with image scaling and aligning to the MC bounds

HI
I have problem with my custom class.
For example if image is loaded into the
holder_mc inside of
loader_mc, and if the loaded image is bigger than the
loader_mc, then I want it to scale it down to match
loader_mc bounds.
It is something similar to Loader class...
I've copied this code outside of Loader.as file and modifyed
it, but its not working...
I'd realy appreciate that if you could find any mistake or
any code similar to this...
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english...

Acrobat X problem with image scaling in Excel

We are using Acrobat X standard with Excel 2007.
The problem is that when using the Create PDF button on the Acrobat toolbar within Excel, if the document has been scaled using Page Layout-Scale option within Excel, the resulting PDF has the image the correct size, but it has not been scaled. So the dimensions are correct, but only half of the image will be visible.
To see what I mean, in Excel, add a picture, then choose Page Layout-Scaling and set to e.g. 50%. Check the print preview to see how it should look, and make sure you have a real printer selected in File-Print (NOT Adobe PDF printer). Then create PDF using the toolbar button. The image in the PDF will be wrong.
This works fine if using native PDF converter (e.g. Save As PDF file) or by printing to the PDF printer, or by using the CreatePDF button when the Adobe PDF printer is selected as default in the print options.
This seems to be a bug in X as in 9 it worked fine.
Is there a solution to this?
Thanks

I should add, I updated to 10.1 and it did not resolve the issue.

Problem with image scaling

I'm currently writing a flex application where I'm scaling
images on a hidden canvas, and then taking a bitmap of them and
drawing that bitmap to a visible component. There are two reasons
for this: so that the user doesn't see a mixture of scaled and
unscaled images, and so that I can do some operations on the
bitmap, saving the processing time of altering all of the objects.
The problem is that the scaling doesn't seem to have finished
by the time I create the bitmap. Is there a way that I can be sure
the operation has finished first? Or is there a better way I should
be going about this?

Although I didn't see an event for scaleX and scaleY, width
and height do have an associated event (ResizeEvent), so I decided
to use them for my scaling. I set up an event listener, and counted
the events that had been fired, until they had been fired for each
of the items that was to be scaled.
I checked to see whether it worked, and it seemed not to
have. In fact, it seems to have given me the same result as I had
without the event listener, so as far as I can tell, the event is
being called at the beginning of the resize rather than when it is
completed.
The problem isn't due to bad placement or sizing logic, as
I've tested making the buffer visible, and it responds as expected,
albeit with the resize flicker that I'm trying to eliminate. I am
also certain that the draw is being triggered in the event
listener, and have tested to make sure that there are no further
resize events that I am not handling.
I'm honestly kind of baffled. How can I resize multiple
interconnected pieces of content without a separation being visible
to the user in the intervening frames?
Edit: I was able to tell when the image loaded by attaching a
listener to the image that listened for the update event. I may be
coming at this from the wrong angle, though, so I'm going to look
into other ways to solve this problem as a whole.

Problem with image location when converting word document to pdf

Hello all,
I am new to all this and this question may be already answered, but when I try to convert a word (2003-2007) document containing images (inserted photos) into a pdf document using Adober Reader 8, the images are moved from their original location and the size and ratio are changed. Is there either a process for preserving the images as they are in the word doucment or a way to fix the problem? Thanks for any help you can give.
Regards,
Rose

Really not sure what you are trying to do since you can not import images into Reader. Since Reader can not create PDFs, we are at a loss of your problem. If you mean Acrobat, then tell us exactly the steps you are using to create the and what versions of both programs Like AA8.1., WORD 2003 (possibly release also) or WORD 2007. The different versions of WORD also also interact with Acrobat differently.

Problems with image names when exporting - images that have come back into lightroom from photoshop

Can anyone help ? When I need to take an image from lightroom into photoshop then back into lightroom and then I export that image, the original file number disappears and is replaced by dashes. Does anyone know how to solve this ?
Thanks !

The appearance of dashes usually suggests some kind of pre-set e.g.
Wedding-20150106-0001.jpg
The only suggestion I can make is that you check to ensure you are using the correct parameters in the templates manager.

Problem with Image Quality when Exporting

I am having an issue with the video quality whenever I export to a .mov or .mpeg file. Although my film looks good when I'm editing it in Adobe Premiere Elements, whenever I export the quality suffers. It becomes somewhat blurry, with pixellated lines visible when the camera moves or when things move that I'm filming. Does anyone know what's going on or how I could fix it? Thank you very much.
John

If you haven't already you need to change the resolution as well. Like this:
72ppi is the default which in theory should be fine for on screen viewing, but play around and use what works for you.

Strange problem with my ClassFactory when a non used jar file is missing.

Hello,
I have a small problem regarding a class factory and I don't really understand how to solve it.
If you see the example below we can imagine that I have a classFactory who can provide 3 different types of classes.
public class ClassFactory {
public ClassFactory() {
public static Service getClass(String szType) {
if(szType.equals("1")) {
return new Class1();
} else if (szType.equals("2")) {
return new Class2();
} else if (szType.equals("3")) {
return new Class3();
else {
return null;
My problem is the following. Let�s imagine that Class1 and Class2 do not use specific jar file but Class3 uses a jar file which is not always present in old installation.
I thought that it was possible to get this factory running correctly if the customer only uses Class1 and Class2 same if specific jar file used by Class3 was not present but this is not the case.
I remarked that if the specific jar file used in Class3 was not present in my classpath the ClassFactory is blocking (same if we do not try to get a "Class3").
My problem is that I want to keep my code backward compatible without asking the customer to add a new jar file only used in new installation.
Can anyone of you explain me why it is reacting like this and how can I solve this problem?
Thank in advance for your reply.
Alain.

There's a standard way of handling these things now. You place a text file in each jar that contributes candidate concrete classes with the FQN of an implementing class on each line. Your factory class then collects all these using getResources() on the context class loader and loads the classes dynamically.
The text file goes in the diretory META-INF/services and the file name is the FQN of the interface or abstract class they all implement.
Typically there's a small factory class for each implementation and you ask each, in turn, whether they accept the specifications the caller requested of your factory (typically static getInstance() method).
Or you could, for example, put the selection name/index or whatever in each class as an annotation.

Strange Problem with Web Object Manager

Hi,
I have a very strange problem with JDev.
When I register a servlet with the Web Object Manager, it does not work (the web server does not find the servlet). This is not the end... If I exit JDev, re-open it and return to the Web Object Manager, instead of the Web Object Manager tree appears a tree labeled JTree with leaves labeled "colors", "sports" and "food"???
No way to recover the Web Object Manager!
I had to re-install JDev.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Before or after the BIOS update?

My daughter's older Ipod Touch is having a problem with images becoming pixilated when taken from an e-mail and placed into her camera roll. ( She wants to put on Instagram ) Any help?

My daughter's older Ipod Touch is having a problem with images becoming pixilated when taken from an e-mail and placed into her camera roll. ( She wants to put on Instagram ) Any help?

I think that may be a consequence of the email provider she is using. Some services (AOL is one example) inspect and modify email attachments, particularly photos, resulting in reduced resolution compared to the email that was sent.
The iPod does not do this. The resolution of the picture in the email she receives will be identical to what is imported.

Strange problem with reminders when waking iMac

I'm having a strange problem with reminders in Mountain Lion, and I thought someone might be able to help. If I have a reminder set, and it goes off when my iMac is asleep, after waking the iMac I can't dismiss the reminder. I can click on "Close" or "Snooze" once, and there is the puff of smoke like it has been dismissed, but the notice is still on the screen (even in the Dashboard view), and hover over it only gives the spinning beachball and I can't access notifications with the two finger swipe. So far, restarting my iMac is the only solution I have found to this situation.
Is anyone else having this happen? Is there an easy solution? Thanks!
