Thumbnail image open up into fullsize image

I am trying to create a thumbnail that is just a portion of the image and when you click it, it opens up full screen/full sized. The images I am trying to open up are very tall. But I am hoping if it opens up full screen the user can scroll through the image.
any help would be great.
Thank You.

Why are you trying to incorporate a website into a book? Is this a marketing thing? Apple may reject that.
Why not just use the website (easy)...or make an app instead (not easy).
Might be time to brush up on using iBA.

    trying to add album from iphoto into idvd slideshow.  Not all photos are loading.  Message "creating thumbnail images...(31 remaining).  Been there a long time.  What is wrong?

    Open your iPhoto Library, go to that particular album and verify that you can view the full sized version of each image by double clicking on them.  Report back with the results.

  • Viewinging RAW files as thumbnail images when opening from Photoshop - not working?

    I have just installed Photoshop CC on my new Windows 8.1 OS computer and when I try to open one of my RAW files into Photoshop from the Photoshop 'open file' menu item I can only see file icons rather than the thumbnail pictures that are in the folders? I can view the thumbnails just fine from Bridge but not when opening directly from Photoshop? I can view all jpg's but no RAW files (both Canon and Sony RAW). I tried installing the Microsoft Camera Codec for Windows 8.1 but it won't install - error message says "not intended for this operating system" in spite of the fact that it explicitly states it is for Windows 8.1?  Any ideas on what to do to be able to view the thumbnail images?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Import Images into slide show - Creating Thumbnail images -Hang

    I am using iDVD 7. I imported my images into a slideshow. The pictures were not in iPhoto but just a folder that I created and edited in Photoshop. Once I import the images, the window shows all the file names as expected but all the Image Thumbnails are blank and the top of the window there is a message "+Creating thumbnail images... (32 remaining)+" with a spinning wheel next to the message. This message stays there forever. The 32 is the number of images in the slideshow. I can do most things in iDVD while this is going on, but I cannot add the audio I want.
    What is causing this and can I get it to stop?

    To add to this I decided to remove the slideshow and now import the pictures from iPhoto. I can only get ride of the message by closing iDVD down. When I relaunch iDVD the message is gone. When I now import the pictures from iPhoto the same thing happens where it hangs on creating thumbnail images.

  • IPhoto won't open my thumbnail images

    I have a handful of photos (all downloaded at once) from my usual camera that appear in iphoto as thumbnail images. However, when i double click on them, they will not open up! To make things even stranger, all of the vertical pictures from this roll open up appropriately, it's only the horizontal shots that don't work. Is there anyway to recover these photos? Thanks

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • When I click on thumbnails to open photos in iPhoto, the larger image suddenly disappears.

  • Thumbnail image is not the same image as the picture that shows when opened

    When I look at a thumbnail image in iPhoto and then I click to open that picture a different picture appears on the screen and the thumbnail image is not opened.  It's almost like they are both within that image, one appearing in the thumbprint and one in the full image.  So if I want to print a thumbnail image I can not find it and if I want to see what is in the folder some don't show in thumbnails.  I think this happens when I transfer from my iPhone to iPhoto and I have deleted some pictures from my phone before the transfer.  The deleted ones I see the thumbnail image of but they are not there when images are opened, and the pictures they override are not there when I try to find them in the thumbnails.  I am only having this problem in two of the iPhoto folders that I have.  I have a large iPhoto library.           

    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window rebuild thumbnails and if needed repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

  • How to I get high res thumbnail images?

    Just discovered once I've imported images into my library Aperture 3.2.2 (running under 10.7.3) doesn't render high res thumbnail images (when the Browser Thumbnail Resize slider is set to the far right/maximum), even though my "Previews" preference settings are as follows:
    "Use embedded JPEG from camera when possible" is unchecked
    "Don't Limit" for Photo Preview is selected
    Photo Preview quality set to 10
    Deleting and regenerating thumbnails doesn't solve the issue. However, if I delete the photo from the referenced library, then reimport the image, the browser thumbnail image renders sharp. The low res thumbnail is at left; high res thumbnail (after re-import) is at right. Both thumbnails images are sharp when the Browser Thumbnail Resize slider is positioned in the middle. Photos render sharp in the Viewer, regardless.
    Going back through my images, it seems Aperture stopped providing a sharp thumbnail image since around July 2010. Other than updating Aperture, my workflow or supported camera hasn't changed. Couldn't find a reference to this issue in the User Manual. Am I missing something a setting somewhere?
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Its unclear if the command Generate Thumbnails actually does anything if the thumbs already exist and as there isn;t a Delete Thumbnails command like there is a Delete preview command there are only two ways to force a new thumb to be generated.
    One is to import the image again and two is to delete the Thumbnail folder in the Aperture library. I don;t know for sure if this will fix you problem but as I said it is the only way to force the generation of the thumbs.
    If you try this make sure you have a good working backup of the library. Nothing here will normally cause data loss but it is always a good idea before messing with the library.
    Quit Aperture, Highlight the library in the Finder and right click, Select show package contents. One fo the folders you'll see is Thumbnails, delete it. Open Aperture.
    Also be aware that the regeneration of the thumbs will take some time. Depending on the size of the library it could be an all day affair. Aperture is usable while this is going on but it will be slower.

  • Thumbnail images in Forms6 client/server

    Hello,
    Some help would be greatly appreciated on this matter. I would like to be able to display a thumbnail image of a picture on the web in an oracle, NON-WEB enabled form.
    For example, when I open a form dealing with product details, I would like a piece of magic to retrieve a thumbnail image of the product from somewhere on the web, and display it on the form. Please note, in my situation it is not viable to store a scaled down version of the image int he database. The image must be located somewhere on the web.
    Some research into this has pointed me to OLE, but I can't seem to find anythng relating OLE to images in forms.
    Any ideas?
    - A Developer Scorned.

    Denis,
    I followed the instructions in the link you gave (how to put animated icons in forms in which you instructed how to use an activeX control to display images in client/server forms.
    I would like to thank you as it works beutifully, however there is one more question - Is there a way to get to image to scale or 'fit' to the size of the activeX control on the form

  • XML scrolling thumbnail, image loader, & Buttons [halfway works]

    Intro:
    I started a flash-based website a few years ago. Back in 2006 I was able to get a xml scrolling thumbnail, image loader to work without a glitch.
    For numerous reasons I had to put the project on hold until now. [one was that my 30 day trial of flash expired and only recently was I able to purchase the Adobe Web Suite CS4 as well as a new computer which could run the apps.]
    Last Friday saw a bump in the road in the development of my site as two, rather straightforward task, turned into something short of a nightmare as I have been unable to get past these two, seemingly, relatively simple task.
    I have posted in 4 other flash forums the issues, in detail, that I am facing - and have quite a bit of interest/views in the topic as the numbers suggest - yet no response/answer as of yet. [Which confirms other messages I have seen which seem to state that working with buttons has become increasingly difficult with the newer version of flash - something Im a bit surprised with actually from Adobe. - I would have thought there would be a palette where you could set parameters...]
    Screenshot of Site/Timeline:
    Before getting into the two questions I have, I would like to post an image of the site as it looks whenever an swf file is saved out, as well as a piece of the timeline in the back for reference.
    Issue #1
    As of now when the swf file is saved out you get exactly what you see above:
    a: A scrolling thumbnail
    b: ...which loads a large image when clicked on it - PEFECT...
    BUT...
    1a: I need for the buttons to load in this action, not for it to just load on its own.
    [i.e., the silk_paintings gallery is what is open, so I need the "silk_paintings" button to call up this action]
    note: Initially I had attacked this problem by taking out the actions layer you see above and applying it directly to the individual buttons with some crude MouseEvent Listener/Handerls... that did not work - at all.
    Im sure it may be "easier" to make an array out of it, but with my coding level it may be "easier" to apply it to the buttons.
    1b: How I currently see it, I would take the xml-list and duplicate it for the number of galleries I have.
    [I would then re-name the xml-list to reflect the name of the galleries they are to represent, i.e. "silk_paintings"]
    [also, I would have to rename the folders to "thumbnails1,2,3, etc., & "images 1,2,3, etc"
    From there I would duplicate the actions and paste it into the buttons, changing the xml-list name to that of "silk_paintings", etc., as well as write in the MouseEvent listener Handler to make it work. [ah, ha, but what is that magic phrase, I have tried to implement various code from other tutorials, and all in vein.]
    Issue #2
    At this point I would be tickled pink just to get this to basic function to work.
    However, once the buttons are working and calling up the xml, etc., then I need the buttons to stay on the semi-transparent blue color it is whenever in the 'hit' state. [note: NOT pictured above.]
    With the way the buttons are currently set up, and with wanting to use scripting to get them to interact with the thumbnail gallery, it will have to be some miraculous code to tell that button what color to stay as whenever its clicked, and of course it going back to white when another button is clicked.
    Conclusion:
    Since this is an Adobe Forum I would like to make a few additional statements in hopes that the developers, etc. may take heed.
    Adobes products are not cheap, and when I went to purchase the websuite I went in as a designer needing a program as not to need to program.
    I understand the flexibility that coding gives, but something as simple as linking buttons should not be in the realms of rocket science. [yes, for many its not...but my brain just does not operate that route despite all the tutorials thrown at me.]
    Again, it would seem that there would be a button panel where you could drag options like scrolling thumbnail slider, loader, and then parameters would come up. [much like Apples iWeb. - but before the argument of one being pro and the other for non-pros, I see it differently. Software should not be the limiting factor in how flexible you can design, or rather ones lack of programming shouldnt be. With all the talented, and I say this in all humility and honesty, programmers working for Adobe, Im sure something could be programmed like what Im asking for.]
    note: Director is a good example, back in 1997 I knew nothing of multimedia and in one week I had assembled a portfolio, clicking buttons, speech, movies, and all. - and no, I dont have the money to buy more software!
    At this moment I am at the mercy of someone who reads code like its a nighttime tale they are telling their kids, and who can see the exact issue I have and can share the appropriate, correct code. [as I have noticed, it has to be on target - naturally - but this target changes with just a slight change in the design.]
    Thank you,
    peace
    Dalen
    p.s.
    The actionscript: [note: This is only the current working/good code that Im trying to get the buttons to call up.]

    The issues with the buttons calling up the scrolling thumbnail panel have been resolved, as well as keeping the buttons in their hit state once clicked, thanks to Rob.
    Those that have been following this thread, or stumble upon it in their searches later, may appreciate to see the final solution to this particular issue.
    [Hopefully I will be able to update this thread with a url in the future to show the site in operation, which may help somebody with their project in the future if its set up similarly.]
    Alas, it would be nice if future versions of flash had a more direct, flexible, user friendly method for creating navigation.
    [We may see development beyond the flash ads which everyone seems to loathe... and more creativity with flash in terms of games, web interactivity, &  animation.

  • No thumbnail images when viewing pictures folder via desktop & screensaver

    When I go into system preferences and then Desktop & Screensaver I chose the pictures folder. It does not show any thumbnail images of any of the contents of my Pictures Folder, yet clicking on a blank area of space applies a desktop???? I have never seen this before anyone have any ideas?

    There may be some minor issue or glitch in the system; and perhaps even
    starting up in SafeBoot and using Disk Utility's repair disk permissions, then
    quitting the utility, and restarting normally may help repair this situation.
    Some file types, in some cases, may not appear in icon or thumbnail view;
    and there are a few image editor applications whose custom icon thumb-
    nail views actually appear as a generic icon w/o an image; but an original
    import from a camera will have the correct thumbnail captured by Finder
    and/or Preview (or iPhoto) by first-contact with the image from the camera;
    but Photoshop or other third party shareware or freeware may not show one.
    For a normal situation where a thumbnail image icon should be present:
    Open up a finder window and do like this: from Finder=View=Show View Options
    =Show Icon Preview. That will give you a thumbnail view of whatever document it is.
    You can select to do this setting for all windows
    Apparently your situation is different in that there may be a permissions or other
    issue going on in the system; so try routine maintenance and also see if the images
    are in the correct location for the system to see them. If the system is really messed
    you may have to consider repairing it; try booting from the native disk utility in OS X
    boot/installer disc, repair disk and repair disk permissions; then reboot using Startup
    Disk in the boot disc's utilities menu (in installer menubar) and immediately press &
    hold the Shift key on startup to engage SafeBoot; and re-repair disk permissions
    from the System's hard drive located Disk Utility to re-correct these permissions, as
    they will probably not be proper for the fully updated system running in the computer.
    Then restart normally.
    There may be file damage, so if that is discovered through additional troubleshooting,
    you may have to consider a new system folder, as in "Archive & Install" then update.
    Repair disk permissions between all update & install steps of system and other software.
    If you have and use a utility interface tool such as OnyX (runs free, is donationware) from
    Titanium Software, download from their site; and run all the checkbox items in Automation,
    and then restart the computer - or set its preferences to do that also, automatically - this
    may help general system health. It may not be able to fix something deeper in the system;
    but a third party disk utility such as DiskWarrior or Drive Genius2 may help in other matters.
    In some cases, depending on what images are involved and where they came from, be
    they a chosen set of personal images you've directed the system to use as background
    desktop images in Finder, or a set of Apple-supplied images, the results can be different.
    I use a folder of camera created scenics as desktop backgrounds and use ToyViewer to
    edit and rotate at a most basic level, since I try to make photos in the camera and not edit.
    Sometimes, these will have generic non-image icons and not thumbnails; there is a way
    to work around the issue should a whole folder of them go bad or change over w/o notice.
    Hopefully someone who has fixed this problem will write a follow up; it is getting late in my
    timezone and I am running on empty per this topic, among others... You may resort to an
    Apple help or Apple Support documents search for a matching topic. That's a huge library.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Video Thumbnail images gone - iPad 1st gen, iOS5

    After updgrading my iPad 1st gen to iOS5, all of my video thumbnail images are gone.
    The iPad just displays a white box with a gray flat screen TV icon for every video file listed under Movies or TV Shows
    This is most troublesome when I touch the TV Shows button and I get a page full of those white boxes with the TV icon - and, as has always been the case, there is no name for the TV show. So I'm lost in the white boxes trying to find LOST the TV show.
    Any thoughts on how I get my thumbnails back?

    If they are in your iTunes library on your computer why don't you try syncing again. Make sure that all of the shows are selected to sync along with the sync Movies heading and then sync again.
    If they are only on the iPad it might be a good idea to transfer the purchases into the iTunes library. Connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes and right click on the device name and select Transfer Purchases.
    If you have tried syncing, try restarting, resetting and quitting the videos app.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    To quit the videos app - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Is there a way to change the automatic optimization of the Thumbnail images in Webgallery?

    Is there a way to change the automatic optimization of the Thumbnail images in webgallery found in Photoshop (CS3 or Photoshop elements-- I have both)?  The thumbnails come out so blurry that it's embarrassing (for an art site). Thanks.

    Thanks for your response. Your websites look great!  You are to be complimented on your fine design work.
    I've been doing custom sized thumbnails, at around 300px, but they are still a little blurry, like when JPEGs are over optimized and some isolated areas look like they are churning, one shape melting into another like boiling water.  Then, I tried even larger thumbnails, and then shrunk them to a smaller size using HTML commands, hoping  that shrinking them smaller would help tighten up the blurry churning areas. They looked a little better, but the churning areas remained.  When I open up the individual thumbnails in Photoshop and I try using the unsharp mask or the sharpen function, it gets even worse.

  • Need some help trying to generate thumbnail images from large Jpegs

    Hello,
    I have some ActionScript 3.0 code, created with Flex that
    will load a large JPEG image (say 3000x2000 pixels) that I'm trying
    to create a 100 pixel thumbnail. I have the code working where I
    generate the thumbnail, but it's not maintaining the aspect ratio
    of the original image. It's making it square, filling in white for
    the part that doesn't fit.
    I've tried just setting the height or width of the new
    image, but that doesnt render well, either.
    To see what I'm talking about, I made a screen shot, showing
    the before image, and the rendered as thumbnail image:
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/taude/533544558/.
    Now, there's a few things important to note. I'm saving the
    thumbnail off as a JPEG. As you can see in my sample application,
    the original renders fine with the proper aspect ratio, it's when
    I'm copying the bytes off the bitmapdata object, where I need to
    specify a width and height, that the trouble starts. I've also
    tried using .contentHeight and .contentWidth and some division to
    manually specify a new bitmapdatasize, but these values seem to
    always have NaN.
    private function makeThumbnail():void{
    // create a thumbnail of 100x100 pixels of a large file
    // What I want to create is a a thumbnail with the longest
    size of the aspect
    // ratio to be 100 pixels.
    var img:Image = new Image();
    //Add this event listener because we cant copy the
    BitmapData from an
    /// image until it is loaded.
    img.addEventListener(FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE,
    imageLoaded);
    img.width=100;
    img.height=100;
    img.scaleContent=true;
    img.visible = true;
    // This is the image we want to make a thumbnail of.
    img.load("file:///C:/T5.jpg");
    img.id = "testImage";
    this.addChildAt(img, 0);
    private function imageLoaded(event:Event):void
    // Grab the bitmap image from the Input Image and
    var bmd:BitmapData =
    getBitmapDataFromUIComponent(UIComponent(event.target));
    //Render the new thumbnail in the UI to see what it looks
    theImage.source = new Bitmap(bmd); //new Bitmap(bmd);
    public static function
    getBitmapDataFromUIComponent(component:UIComponent):BitmapData
    var bmd:BitmapData = new
    BitmapData(component.width,component.height );
    bmd.draw(component);
    return bmd;

    Dev is 10gR2 and Prod is earlier version of Oracle, 10gR1.
    The schema (or table(s)) export file created by Oracle Database Control in Oracle 10gR2 is not importable into 10gR1, by default.
    Workaround.
    Use the Schema (table(s) export wizard of in the Maintenance section
    of the Oracle Database Control in ver 10R2,
    but when you get to the end of the wizard (I recall Step 5),
    show the data pump export source PL/SQL code, cut and past to editor,
    and find the variable where you can set the Oracle database version
    to your prod database version,
    then run the script from the SQL Plus prompt in 10gR2 dev,
    and this creates an Oracle 10gR1 compatible data export file.
    Then go to Prod and run the schema (table(s)) import data wizard,
    and import the export file. You will have to option to move the data
    to another schema or tablespace if required.
    Just to not run into troubles, I use the same schema and tablespace name
    in both dev and prod.
    the variable you must modify in the 10gR2 datapump export script looks like
    h1 := dbms_datapump.open (operation => 'EXPORT', job_mode => 'SCHEMA', job_name => 'ExportTableToProdJob', version => 'COMPATIBLE');
    and you must change manually to
    h1 := dbms_datapump.open (operation => 'EXPORT', job_mode => 'SCHEMA', job_name => 'ExportTableToProdJob', version => '10.1.0.1');
    This creates a 10g1.0.1 or later compatible export data file.
    You must have read/write privileges to the folder were the export data file will be created, and imported from. (Oracle Directory Object)
