Tips for making master pages??

Hello,
I am making a master page that will contain jpeg images, and I am having trouble getting them to "snap to" the guides". Before, in CS3, I remember when I moved an image close to a guide, it would automatically "snap to" it, but for some reason that doesn't seem to always happen here. I am not using the baseline or other grids at all, I have made guides. The guides are two perpendicular lines, and try to snap them to the right angle formed by the lines.
Hope that explanation wasn't confusing. I just want to find a good way to set up my master page and to establish guides. It is possible to use the "snap to" with guides alone and not the grids, right? To get rid of the grids I set the spacing for the lines for very large distances so they wouldn't appear at all.
Cheers for any assistance in advance...

Hello,
Thanks for the replies. The "snap to" option is on, as well as the "guides in back" option. What will happen is, I drag an image within range of the guide (I'm not using a grid) and it will be very close, but I often have to adjust it slightly, for example (I have it set for inches as the unit of measurement) I want one image to be at the guideline, which is .7817 but too I dragged (drug?) near to the guide ended u at .7823. Once I get this close to the guide, shouldn't the snap to" take over? BTW, my "snap to" zone is 12px.
I see that both "align to object edge" and "align to object center" are checked... should I uncheck "align to object center"?

You may need to go back and start over. Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router.

Any new tips for making Garageband run quicker (Delay/Lag)?

Hey all
AI was just wondering if anyone had come up with any new tips for making Garageband run quicker? Theres such a delay form when I move the cursor or press play to when anything actually happens.
Ive tried everything here
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/Optimize.html
But its not really made anything quicker
I don't know where this option is though?
Make sure your Energy Saver System Prefs is set to Highest Performance, if this is an option

How do I create an underlying master page for my master pages (without messing them up)?

I created a Muse site long ago, and wanted to fix my SEO easily overall by better analytics among other things.
Perhaps I am doing this the wrong way but I was thinking I could create a master page that I could just drop the html I needed into, and thus not fuss too much with my other pages. The problem is I already have master pages that my site is based on (before you could do this), and it would be much easier to have those master pages stem from one source (a Master master page?).
Everytime I try to do this it changes my current master and final pages. Anyway I can create and invisible master so this doesn't happen?
What should I do instead?
THANK YOU.
William

Thanks,
Your intructions were my plan untill I realized that in doing so, it changed the backgrounds etc of my current masterpages. I realize that this is a lack of planning due to my very rusty design principles, and something I wouldn't have done in my day job if the features had been in place. (so thank you for the new features!)
While I realize I could probably fix this by recreating the site with a uniform underlying Primary Master Page feeding into my Secondary Master Pages, I was trying to create a master page that in effect wouldn't change a thing in the other subservient masterpages (thus allowing me freedom to create groups of pages with common analytics or any other types of code).
Simply when I take your suggestion, things change... can I do this without making things change?
Not sure if this makes sense. I am trying to avoid coding or a overhaul b/c of time constraints.

CS5: Watch out for a master page bug

I found a pretty serious bug in CS5. I opened a catalog I created with CS4, which has master pages for page frames. I also have occasional left or right title pages which have no frames, and [none] selected as master.
Elements aligned to spread center on right or left page will sometimes appear on the spread even if the page has [none] as master, but the facing page has a master applied.
This is difficult to explain, but it seems that the new page system has messed up something and CS5 thinks the element is overlapping both master pages, even tho it's only aligned to center. If I nudge the element by 0,01 mm away from center, it will disappear from the facing page.
Check your layouts before sending to print.

How exactly would that work?
I export from CS4 and open the exported to CS5?
or
I open the CS4 document in CS5, export and re-load exported to again CS5?

What is the best practice for creating master pages and styles with translated text?

I format translated text all the time for my company. I want to create a set of master pages and styles for each language and then import those styles into future translated documents. That way, the formatting can be done quickly and easily.
What are the best practices for doing this? As a company this has been tried in the past, but without success. I'd like to know what other people are doing in this regard.
Thank you!

I create a master template that is usually void of content, with the exception I define as many of the paragraph styles I believe can/will be used with examples of their use in the body of the document--a style guide for that client. When beginning a new document for that client, I import those styles from the paragraph styles panel.
Exception to this is when in a rush I begin documentation first, then begin new work. Then in the new work, I still pull in those defined paragraph and or object styles via their panels into the new work.
There are times I need new styles. If they have broader applicability than a one-off instance or publication, then I open the style template for that client and import that style(s) from the publication containing the new style(s) and create example paragraphs and usage instructions.
Take care, Mike

Script for switching master pages

Would it be possible to write a script to do this: Replace one master page with another whenever a certain paragraph style appears? I'm looking for a quick way to replace my A Master (with running header and page number) with the None Master on pages where new chapters begin.

We can use jQuery to add the css file based on some conditions, the following code for your reference:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$( function() {
if ($("#label1").val()== "English") {
$("<link href='css/custom-en.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' />").appendTo('head');
} else if ($("#label2").val() == "Arabic") {
$("<link href='css/custom-ar.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' />").appendTo('head');
</script>

Using Expression Web for editing master pages

I have SP Foundation 2013 and I am trying to edit a master page in Expression web since SP Designer no longer has design view. Reading the documentation it says that any HTML tools such as dreamweaver, Expression Web etc can be used.
I have mapped a drive to the Master Page Gallery and made a copy of the master page I am trying to edit.
When I open it up in Expression Web I get the following error:
Error creating Control - SPHtmlTag
Unknown Server Tag Sharepoint:SPHtmlTag
Can anyone help? I'm by far no web developer or Sharepoint Developer and I just want to make some simple changes to the master page such as adding a footer with some links/images etc so it displays on all pages within the site, which is just a basic intranet
site for a small company.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

you use HTML tools such as dreamweaver to desgin the .html file associated with the .master file:

The type inside the footer drops down 50 px below the bottom of page in preview mode. I already tried unchecking the sticky footer in the site properties for that master page.

I need to fix this footer text on the home page. The type on the master page is centered inside a white 50px box. But in preview mode, the line of text drops 50px down below the bottom of page. I unchecked the sticky footer in the site properties and also set the line of text as footer item. The setting was the same on my second master and it comes out fine.

Hi
The "content" div is styled to have 100px height and visible overflow. So the text is overflowing the div but the footer is "unaware" / ingoring it and positions itself after "sidebar2"
Change the height of "content" to 100% and it should work.
Kind Regards,
Alex

How to create a halo gradient for web 'master page'

Working with PS CS5.5.
I am needing to create a 1000px x 650px background image for a web application. I would like the resulting file size (PNG) downloaded by the web-site to be in the 50kb realm.
What is the general strategy for creating a gradient like the attached file?
Should I start with a solid background color and overlay the solid with a white gradient layer (center being less transparent) ... this in my mind would result in the smallest file size given that I could decrease the resolution (of the exported PNG file) without any visible effects on the web-page.
Please advise,
Brad

There may be many ways to do it, but you could render a round radial gradient fill layer, adjust it to taste, then save as PNG and just resize it to whatever dimensions you like in the HTML, which could get you the oval shape. Or you could rasterize it in Photoshop and save as a "squashed" version for a possible small savings in file size.
The above 500 x 325 pixel gradient saved as a PNG is about 50 kb.
This one was cropped, rasterized and squashed vertically, and takes only 26 kb on disk.

What's the best technique for making this page work?

Here's a link to a jpg showing a design for a portfolio site that I'm building:
http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll130/Mickmastergeneral/test_modeling_texturing.jpg
The image of the ATV will be a Qucktime file; the visitor will be able to scrub the slider to see a pre-rendered rotation of the model. The visitor will then be able to view a different model by clicking on one of the thumbnails at the bottom of the page. So far so good.
But the visitor will also need the ability to display the model's texture map in a new window (by clicking on one of the the texture map icons on the right), as well as choose wireframe or shaded mode (by clicking on the appropriate text button; this would load a quicktime movie of either a wireframe or textured model turnaround).
So, the trick is getting all the appropriate stuff to load when the user clicks on a lower screen thumnail: The Quicktime movie, the appropriate texture map icons for that model (which in turn need to link to pages containing the correct image), and "Shaded" & "Wireframe" text buttons (that link to the appropriate Quicktime movie.)
I haven't done any web design in years, so I'm using an ancient version of DW (Dreamweaver Ultradev 4), and I'm definitely not up on the latest techniques. I know how to work with frames, but I've heard that it's a good idea to stay away from them. Would layers work for this? I've worked with Behaviours and I know how to do image swaps and hide/show layers, but I don't know how (or if) I can use that trick to make the appropriate texture and wireframe/shaded links appear. Any ideas how I should proceed?

So, do you think it would make sense for me to just bite the bullet and learn Flash?
No - I don't think Flash is a good tool for a general purpose website other than for special cosmetic effects. But I do think it is the thing to use if you want those, and not QT.
- I already have a ton of those model animations rendered out as h.264 Quicktime files. They look pretty good and are a reasonable file size. If I bring them into a Flash file, does that convert them into Flash? Will that affect image quality or inflate their file size?
They should convert quite acceptably.

Software for making web pages?

Hi,
I'm sure this is probably posted in the wrong place so if someone will let me know where it should properly be posted, I'd gladly delete this and post somewhere else.
I plan on writing an ebook by September 1 (hopefully). Which means I will need to:
1. Create a webpage with some type of program for use with an iMac
2. Create pdf document that can be sold from the web in ebook form
3. Eventually I would like to add video and audio to the sales page (if that ever gets made, LOL. I'm a total non tech type person).
So, I don't know if I can use anything on my iMac to create the audio or video, or even what software I would purchase. I'm an educator so that means I could get some hefty discounts on some Adobe products but not sure which ones would be good to begin with for creating a web page (other than the one with iWeb).
While I certainly don't expect responses on all this, I guess my priority at this point would be numbers one and two.
Thanks for your help,
Lee
P.S. Does anyone know if after you have not been on the forum for a while if you have to change your username, etc. to use the forum? For some reason or another I had to do that in order to get on even though I was logged in to my mac account.

Just a word on the PDF point: Acrobat Pro can do a great deal. If you need it, you need it. If you don't need it, though, use something else. I say this not just because Acrobat Pro is expensive, although it is, but because it is also a complete pain. In, of course, my opinion.
I have and use Acrobat Pro but I only use it when nothing else will do what I need. Otherwise, I use something else. Like I say, it depends on what you need.
At the simplest level, you can create a PDF by "printing to PDF" from pretty much any application on your Mac. This is likely not enough for your needs but it is worth bearing in mind if you are not already aware of it.
I've never created an ebook so I don't know what's involved and Acrobat Pro may be what you need. Just don't assume that because it can apparently "do it all" that it is the best choice for your needs. Even if expense is of no importance, that may not be the case.

___Any tips for making this sign look real(er)? Ai and/or Ps

I'm trying to make this sign* look like an actual real sign (like a sign that would have neon type lettering, but turned off during the day), that would hang above a restaurant/bar in a cosmopolitan city.
the client thinks it isn't 'real' lloking enough - any tips/suggestions/tutorials y'all can suggest?
9Not so much for the neon aspect - I think I have that covered) - All comments welcome!
*name in neon has been covered by green for this screenshot's purposes.

The trick is creating the illusion of depth and dimensions. At a minimum you should be creating shadows and highlights ( difficult to recommend anything with seeing the actual artwork ). Neon is a sophisticated illustration that will require quite a bit of detail ( even with the lights - off ). Neon also has its own set of imperfections, so something computer generated will need to include those imperfections. Consider "Blends". Post your work so we can see how it is progressing.
