Text in Images

I am working in Webb ( LR 3) but the images are not showing any text,(I have installed all of the key words)but I want the title of the image to show
What have I got switched off ??

Search elsewhere on this forum. I think this has been reported before. If I recall correctly, OpenType fonts do not work in this context, so choose a different font.

Help Me Understand: Readabilty of Text in Images

I make a webcomic (CarpeChaos.com for examples), so I produce a lot of images with a fairly extensive amount of text in them. I want to make sure the fonts in those images are as readable as possible. My experience on this topic is just someone who has read a lot about it online, I'm not professionally trained, so some of my assumptions may be flawed, please point them out. I'm using CS2, but my copy of CS5 is in the mail.
Photoshop is the core of our workflow and our PSDs are set up as several layers of image data and several layers of text. We don't rasterize the text at any point. The text is almost exclusively high contrast grayscale (aka black text on white backgrounds). Each PSD is 2880x3240, but we publish at 960x1080 AND 640x720.
What I know about font rendering tells me that fonts are rendered differently at different sizes, and that scaling rasterized text in images smears them into horrible messes.
With that in mind, I've been a bit of a fascist when it comes to our image mastering process. I never flatten text layers, nor rasterize the text in any other way. My assumption is that Save For Web... in Photoshop does the smart thing by resizing first, then rasterizing the text. Therefore, I use the "Image Size" tab in Save For Web dialog to produce the right sized images. Our jpeg compression is usually between 67% and 87%, although on rare occasion it can go as high as 100%. This produces rather crisp text with about as good of readability as I can hope for in a jpeg.
Unfortunately, this process takes a fair amount of time, and I'd love to dump all our PSDs into a script that generates the jpegs automatically. I've been playing around with File-->Scripts-->Image Processor but haven't yet gotten results that match doing it by hand. And frankly, from the dialogs, I don't trust that it respects my vector fonts as much as I do.
I'm not opposed to switching image formats to png or something else, it just needs to be web friendly.
So I have two questions for the wisdom of this forum:
1) Do you know any way that I can improve readability over what I'm currently doing?
2) How can I get the same results with less work? Is there a way I can get optimal results from an image processor script?

I often use layer styles to make text more readable. Drop shadow and outer glow are often very useful for this, and they don't have to be turned all the way up to greatly increase readability.
For example, for the back jacket of a book, I was putting some light text on a mostly dark background consisting of an image with a lot of stars in it. The letters occasionally overlaid or nearly overlaid stars, and this became kind of distracting. Some drop shadow isolated the text and kept the appearance of the star field intact.

Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

Conditional Text and Image based on Excel column values

Hi,
I have an excel file which contains data that needs to be imported/merged in an InDesign document. I have converted that file into a CSV... I'm unable to figure out how to create document using Data Merge after evaluating some conditions on data ... Example InDesing document layout is like below and will be repeated for say 200 data rows...
Heading 1
Text 1, Text 2
Text 3
Image
Heading 1, Text 1 and Text 2 even Image value will be set after checking some condition like below
if ( column 'A' == ' ' && column 'B' == '1')
Set 'Heading 1' == column X
if ( column 'C' == '0' && file.exist(column C & '.jpg'))
Set 'Image' == column C & '.jpg'
Can someone please guide me how to create document when CSV and Images are given based on this scenario? and even if Data Merge is the right solution for this.
-- Thanks.

Data merge can only reproduce one layout, so you can't merge 200 rows and then change things unless you do it in separate documents and then combine them. Of course anything you can do via scripting or manually on a regular document you can also do to a merged document after the merge is complete.
It sounds like this is a multiple-records-per-page scenario. TO do that you set up ONE instance only of what you want to merge, in the upper left position on the page. ID then duplicates EVERYTHING that is on the page as many times as will fit using the spacing parameters you provide. This means you need to be careful with frame sizes so they don't extend beyond where they should, but it also means you can add a no-fill, no-stroke frame as a border or bounding box to make it easier to get a precise size to be used by each record. Frames in merged documents are not threaded from record to record (though there are methods for doing that after the merge, if desired), so deleting a record normally leaves a hole in the page.
If you have master page items, it's probably best to us the "none" master before the merge, then apply the correct master page after.

The latest Firefox version won't expand to make text and images more visible on my 32" screen, although I have tried to adjust the advanced Windows appearance settings in the same way that has worked in previous versions of Firefox.

Normally I have had to go to Control Panel; Appearances and Themes; Display; Settings; Advanced; Custom; and then I adjust the Customize Setting to 155% (149 dpi). I have hit on this setting through trial and error; larger and icons like the cursor get big and fuzzy. Smaller than 155% and text and images are tiny on the 32" wide screen. This time that procedure doesn't seem to work. The text and images remain too small regardless of setting, although the cursor icon gets big. I can manually zoom the pages, but that is clumsy and has to be redone. Does anyone know of an easy setting fix? I am not too smart about this stuff--mostly trial and error, but I do want to be able to enjoy my wide screen. Thanks!

How can i copy line with text and image to ms word

When I insert an image in textflow using InlineGraphicElement it works, but when I copy the line with the image to MS Word it copies only the text (not the image).
How can i copy the image to MS Word?

If you want copy formatted text and image to MS Word, you need to give MS Word rtf markup, because Word can recognize rtf markup but not TLF markup.
So you need to create a custom clipboard to paste a rtf markup. It's a large feature for you, because you need a tlf-rtf converter in your custom clipboard.
TLF Custom Clipboard Example:
package
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.desktop.ClipboardFormats;
    import flashx.textLayout.container.ContainerController;
    import flashx.textLayout.conversion.ITextImporter;

    import flashx.textLayout.edit.EditManager;
    import flashx.textLayout.elements.*;
    import flashx.undo.UndoManager;
    // Example code to install a custom clipboard format. This one installs at the front of the list (overriding all later formats)
    // and adds a handler for plain text that strips out all consonants (everything except aeiou).
    public class CustomClipboardFormat extends Sprite
        public function CustomClipboardFormat()
            var textFlow:TextFlow = setup();
            TextConverter.addFormatAt(0, "vowelsOnly_extraList", VowelsOnlyImporter, AdditionalListExporter, "air:text" /* it's a converter for cliboard */);

How can i create a simple netweaver portal page that shows text and images?

Hi,
i have a simple question or maybe it's not so simple.
I am completly new to SAP Netweaver 2004s Portal. At the moment i'm trying to understand the struture of the whole thing. I already know how to create roles, worksets and pages and i know how to combine the different elements so a user can acces them.
And now i want to create a simple portal page that shows text and images. Is it possible to create such a simple page with the portal content studio? What iView do i have to use?
(I just want to create a start page with a welcome text on it.)

Marc
Considering that you would any ways go ahead with complex development from this simple start page I recommend create a Web dynpro Iview for your start page (include the Iview in your page).
For putting the contents use Netweaver Developer studio to build a simple start page application and put your static text on that Iview.
Please go through the following log after your NWDS development is over - This will make you comfortable for further challenging work.

Uploading my site to Adobe Business Catalyst and I noticed that it turns all my text into images? Why does it do that and is there a way to prevent it from happening?

I don't mind that Muse does this upon uploading my website, but once my text becomes an image on my site, it creates a light halo around my text making it fuzzy. Is there a way to prevent Muse from changing my text into images?

Hello,
I believe you are using System fonts for the text in the site. I would suggest you to use either Web safe fonts or use self hosted font options.
Please refer to the links below to understand how to work with them.

Possible to scan a document into Acrobat XPro,then replace part of that PDF with text or image file?

Hi everyone,
Is it possible first to scan a paper document into Acrobat X Pro, and then to replace a "pane" or box within that PDF with a text or image file?
Would it require SDK and Javascript?
Thanks,
Rick Weinhaus

CtDave and others:
Here's the problem in more detail.
I am a physician and I already have the ability to incorporate paper-based
documents into an electronic health record (EHR) by scanning them and
saving them as PDFs. The documents are paper patient encounter forms with
a different box or 'pane' for each category of data. Each box has a fixed
location on the paper form.
There are three situations, however, where I want to have the option to
overwrite certain boxes of the PDF with data generated by methods other
than scanning.
1) Insert text macros with variable fields using the electronic health
record's software.
2) Insert a drawing available as a pre-existing JPG or generated by using a
tablet.
3) Insert text generated using Dragon Naturally Speaking.
For efficient office workflow, in all three cases the text or image to be
inserted into the box or 'pane' in the PDF needs to be generated while I am
still seeing the patient -- that is -- before the paper form has been
scanned and converted to a PDF.
The sticky note tool is one option, but I would want to be able to modify
the default size of the sticky note so that it corresponded exactly to the
size of the box it was 'overwriting.' I can't figure out how to do this?
Could it be done using scripting?
Furthermore, I would want the sticky notes to automatically display when
the PDF was opened, so that a hover would close rather than open them. This
sticky note method would have the advantage of allowing the user to toggle
back and forth between inserted data and any original handwritten text.
Any thoughts?
Rick

Printing a PDF document to virtual PDF printer converts text to image in output PDF-file

When I "print" any regular PDF document to a PDF virtual printer, it always converts a source regular (textual) PDF document into an image only document. It applies even to pure plain text documents (say, HTML source code etc.)
(I often need to create a PDF document from the existing PDF. Yes, I know, it might seems quite pointless, but actually it makes sense.)
Thus I have 2 questions:
1) Is such sonvertion normal or I do anything wrong myself?
2) It is by design, is there any woraround to prevent conveting text to image?
Many thanks in advance!

Have you checked to see if the "Print As Image" option is inadvertently checked? In the Print dialog, click the Advanced button then look for the checkbox.

Problem in converting text to image.

Hi I am trying to convert a text to image. The code for the same is pasted below. The problem is how do I change the background color. No matter what color I give with Graphics2D object, the background is always black. I want a white background.
public class TextToImg1
public static void main(String args[])
try
int width = 400;
int height = 400;
BufferedImage bimage = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics2D g2D = bimage.createGraphics();
g2D.drawString("This is the sample page to convert text to image.",100,100);
g2D.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
g2D.setColor(Color.WHITE);
File f = new File ("anImage.jpg");
ImageIO.write (bimage, "jpeg", f);
catch(Exception exception)
System.err.println(exception.getMessage());
}

Probably because you didn't draw the background. Use the fillRect(...) method to paint the background using the color your want.

Printing text and images together on a single page (printjob)

Hello all,
how am I able to print both text and images on the same page (defined by one printjob), using the javax.print API?
It seems that one printjob (one page) can have only one flavor, that is text, or GIF, or JPEG, etc. Since the majority of print jobs out there usually require text and graphics on the same sheet this seems a bit strange.
I have resorted on creating a PDF file through the iText library, and then printing by converting to GIF (quality is significantly reduced though, not an option), or by using the Acrobat Reader command line from java (looks dangerous for batch printing). My printer does not support printing directly using the PDF flavour.
So, I solved the problem by converting to PDF, but printing is still cumbersome. Any other ideas?
Thank you for your time,
Ari.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I would like to add content that changes on a calendar basis, such as 'thought for the day". It can then display a different text or image on a nominated day. Can this be done? Robert.

OK Thanks Brad.
I could use Tockify of course, but wanted to create the same things on an existing site.
I do not know how to copy the code and get it onto Muse, but that’s OK for now. I will work something else out.

Should I use text or text as image?

I'm creating a picture book for kids, using iBooks Author.
I need to decide whether to use my preferred font, which isn't supported by iOS -- in which case I'll need to make the text part of an image.
Or whether to use a font supported by iOS.
Since it's a picture book, most of each page will be one single image. If I use text not image as text, I should be able to make part of each page not image -- maybe that will reduce the file size, so the book is better for users…?
But if it doesn't make it better for users using text, then I'll use text-as-image, so I can use my preferred font.
Are there disadvantages in making each page one single image over the full screen, and using text as image, rather than actual text?
(I will have a voiceover for the book recorded by a voiceover artist, so I won't need the iBooks voiceover.)
Here's a sample illustration showing typical amount of text on a page: https://img.skitch.com/20120225-gim7e9cje5pnf1jh969xu4791a.jpg
Thanks.

If you use image-as-text you should try to make some efforts to ensure that users with disabilities have some form of access to your content and test the experience yourself.
Be sure to set an Accessibility Description for each image with the missing text for user with screen readers. Also be sure to provide the same for any trigger you're using to provide the actor's voiceover if it can be interacted with.
You can test with VoiceOver on your iPad and should really try your book with VoiceOver Screen Curtain enabled.

Publish Text as Image or lock font

I am new to dreamweaver, I use to use yahoo sitebuilder and
one of my favorite features was called "publish text as image" it
let you put text in any font and it would make it an image so even
if someone looking at the site didn't have the font it would stay
the same. Is there any sort of feature like this in dreamweaver? I
want to use Stoen Saris font Thanks

> like so if i go into photoshop and change the text it'll
update in
> dreamweaver?
Only if you save or export or whatever from photoshop and
change the actual
image file that's in the Site's local site folder.
If you used Fireworks, yes it does have a much tighter
integration.
After placing the image, later on you could select the image
in the page in
dreamweaver, click "edit in fireworks" and it would open and
you could make
changed in fireworks. Then press a "done" button and
dreamweaver comes up
showing the modified image.
question- this is just for headlines and short bits of text,
right?
You don't want to put paragraphs or entire pages of text into
image text
right?
