Truncated captions

Ever since I changed my laptop to a new one with a screen resolution of 1600 x 900 , whenever I open a LV example it has the controls all squeezed up vertically in both FP and BD. With a result that the image is very difficult to read. See the example snap shot attached.
Any work arounds for this ? The aspect ratio of the resolution 1600 x 900 worrks out to a odd value of 1.78 and would this be the reason ? I have tried 1440x900 and 1024 x 768 with no success.
Thanks.

  • Captions truncated in Slide Show mode

    I have a web site that I designed using iWeb 08, and like to use the full 7 line captions for pictures in some gallery pages. This works fine in normal viewing mode, but I also have Slide Show enabled; when you try to view in this mode, the black square pops up, showing the picture and controls, and works OK except for one thing: you only see about 3 lines of the caption, and there seems to be no way to scroll it.
    Does anyone have any insight on this, or know whether there is some obscure setting that I have missed, which would allow viewing the entire caption in Slide Show mode?
    Thanks

    Justin, I am having the same problem as you. I will look into what Cyclosaurus is saying to do, but it is probably a bit complicated for my brain. One thing you can do without any coding, is to space down your captions 3 or 4 times on the page where the full size version of your picture is. Then, your captions will not have a line through them when viewing in the slideshow mode that includes the thumbnails. Also, the full truncated captions will not appear in the true slideshow. I have the first line showing and then I spaced all the rest of the description down. It is hard to explain, so here is an example that I am working on for a friend. http://www.karenmardis.com/TheJewels/Pages/The_ExpressionsCollection.html One thing to note, your page has to be at least as tall as what the longest caption will need. It's a bit clumsy but it worked for me. Hope that is helpful.

  • PSE 4  Use Filenames as Captions in Slide Show

    Most of my files have meaningful filenames. However when I want to make a slide show I can't figure out how to get the filenames to display as captions so people know whats going on. Is there a way of copying the filenames to the captions field. I would hate to have to copy and paste each one.

  • Image Captions in Slide Show

    Is there a way to capture the metadata title and use that as the image caption?
    Failing that, is there a way to alter the image caption without changing the file name?
    Finally, is there a way to delete the stars that sometimes appear under the image in Bridge?

  • Managing photos (non-indesign related)

    I have a bunch of folders with a bunch of images and I've added the metadata into all the images to caption every photograph.
    What's the best way to print these photos with captions from the metadata - without using InDesign.
    Captions added with Photoshop Elements - although they can added natively in Windows 7 - or in Adobe Bridge.
    Photoshop Elements prints truncated captions.
    Basically, I'm looking for a way to have captions proofed before inserting images to InDesign.

    Ok - so I figured out that Photoshop Elements won't print the captions - but it will using a Share function in the top right go to a "Photo Mail" which seems to be the only option to export images with all the captions, albeit by email, but that can be printed out and etc.
    If anyone has any other ideas I'd love to hear them.
    I don't know why there's a captioning function on images if there is no easy way to proof the damn things.

  • In iPhoto  how do I open Photo Grid to change number of caption lines?

    In iPhoto  how do I open Photo Grid to change number of caption lines?

    In iPhoto '11 you can only display two lines below the thumbnails of your photos when you browse an event or an album, the titles and the ratings. The title will be truncated, if it does not fit into the single line. From the iPhoto help:
    To show title and rating information below photos:
    Click to select Photos in the Source list.
    Choose View, and then choose the information you want to view:
    Titles
    Rating
    The information field you chose appears below your photos.
    To hide this information, choose View, and then choose the information you want to hide.

  • Workflow with images,file names and full captions.

    I am working on my mother's memoirs, which will include a block of photo pages.  Those pages will be laid out by a friend.  I would like to use a contct sheet of some kind as a reference to what is to be included with what caption but am discovering just how difficult PE8 Organizer is to work with.
    First I tried the obvious print contact sheet and discoverd that captions are truncated if they run wider than the image itself.
    Secondly I tried a photo book and found that large images do not automatically resize to fit the picture placeholders. Seemed to pick up full caption but I have too many pictures to manually fit.
    Third I tried a web page output but then captions can't be copy and pasted for inclusion into group caption panels!
    Then it occurred to me that even just a list of file names and captions would be sufficient ... but even that is too much for an Adobe catalog to give up!
    All I want is a reference to images and captions, ideally grouped 4 at a time per page as they will be shown in those picture pages.
    Any suggestions would be welcomed.

    I can see two ways to do what you want.
    The first one is to divide you workflow in two steps. Install the free software FastStone image resizer, which can do a batch to resize and put your caption where you want. Batch process the files in a new folder while renaming them with something like 'old name'+ 'resized'. This is to avoid duplicate names. Import them into the organizer. Create an album with all those files, and put them in the correct printing order. Select all and export 'as new files' renaming them with 'common base name', in original format. That should keep the custom order of your project.
    There are also batch renaming and resizing with the affordable Elements+ add-on, but I suppose the first solution will be easier.

  • Contact sheet truncates and changes file name

    Greetings!
    I am using Photoshop CS3 on a G5 PowerPC running OS 10.5.4. My file name is 29 characters long and looks like this - Gar_070208_MD_42BlueHeron_055.JPG. When I make a contact sheet, PS puts the images in the correct order left to right top to bottom. What is wrong is PS changes the last part of the file name.
    My settings (I have 4 across and 5 down) are X-Include All Subfolders, X- Flatten All Layers, X- Rotate For Best Fit and X-Use Filename As Caption (Helvetica size 12 pt) The full name fits under each image with room to spare. The resulting name looks like this for the name above - Gar_070208_MD_42BlueH#4A895.JPG. I have tried making the CS a number of time varying the font size and no change. When making those changes, I notice that the file names are still wrong and are consistently the same wrong. And they get weirder, like #4A89D, #4A8A9, #4A8B1 ....
    The only thing I can figure is that PS does not like a file name longer than 27 characters, since that is what it truncates to. Or there is another problem/bug in the system.
    Any thoughts, ideas or workarounds?
    Thanks in advance!
    Cheers!
    Gar

    I have the same problem. I am using PS CS3 running under OS 10.5.2. If the file name excluding the extension is longer than 27 characters, I get the same error, starting with the # character. However, if the file name is longer than 27 characters, it still appears correct in Bridge and in the documents folder. This leads me to speculate that it is a Photoshop problem, not an operating system issue.
    When I was using contact sheet II in PS CS2 under Windows XP, it worked ok for more than 27 characters.

  • Photoshop truncates photo mechanic field to 32 characters

    I add IPTC info to photo files when ingesting into Photo Mechanic.  If I later edit the photo in Photoshop C6, it truncates the "Description Writer" (and possibly other fields) to 32 characters.  That means I have to reload the IPTC file to correct this.
    Does Photoshop have a solution that will prevent this truncation?
    Thank you.

    Brilliant John. Quote for LR transporter website
    LR/Transporter also offers the ability to modify certain metadata fields (such as the IPTC title and caption) based on other metadata fields. This allows you to, for example, define the Title field from a combination of other fields such as the filename. (Requires Lightroom 2 or later).
    Will look into that some more

  • Text Caption options not applied

    Hi,
    I'm trying to add a text caption with a transparent style.
    however when I try to modify font, font size, or color no change is
    being applied. If I switch to the Adobe Blue caption style I can
    modify color, but not font size. Any idea why this is
    happening?

    Hi there
    I happened across a weird issue just last night that was resolved by choosing a different ActionScript version. I'm wondering if you can try this to see if there is a change in behavior.
    Click Edit > Preferences > Project > Publish Settings and whatever it's set to AS2 or AS3, try the other option and see if it changes your outcome.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Why does FireFox truncate part of an E-mail of more than one page when I try to print it out? How can I sent an E-mail blaet to several but only show one name o

    When I try to print out an E-mail that is longer than one page, part of the 2nd page is truncated. I then have to go to Safari to print out the entire E-mail without part of it being truncated.
    When I have multiple E-mail addresses on a single E-mail, how can I send the E-mail so that each recipient only sees his/her name and E-mail address rather than everyone else that the E-mail is addressed to?
    Please advise.
    Thank you.
    Bill Leete

    Some style rules that Firefox handles well on the screen can cause this problem. Many email sites have a print button which simplifies the message format and removes navigation elements, etc., and Firefox generally handles print-formatted pages better. If your email site doesn't have print-formatted pages or those do not print, a "hack" is to select the text you want to print and then choose the Selection option in the print dialog.
    To hide email addresses from recipients, you need to place them in the BCC field. What do you put in the TO field in that case? You can use your own address.

  • Is there a way to create a CSS image gallery with caption?

    Hi everyone,
    Ive been using the disjoint rollover, but I only have one
    thing that I want to add to it—a caption right underneath an
    image.
    Besides using that Project Seven plug-in, is there a way to
    create an image gallery without using layers? Or is layers the only
    way to do it? All I want (words of doom, huh?) is a thumbnail to be
    able to switch and image and add a caption to it. Can anyone point
    me in the right direction? Or is that Project Seven plug-in deal my
    best bet? What about Set Text of Layer in DW.
    Oh yeah, Im still using DW with CSS sprinkled in..any help?
    Thanks in advance.

    Of course.
    > What about Set Text of Layer in DW.
    That would do it, and it's not necessary that the layer stay
    a layer after
    you have done it, either. I do this frequently - make a
    layer, apply the
    behavior, and then remove the position:absolute from the div,
    and place it
    where I want it.

    Add new photo to existing calendar folder in iPhoto
    I am making a calendar in iPhoto, picking photos from a folder, let's call it "2011 Pics," in iPhoto. After arranging all the photos and captions I decided I wanted to insert a new photo -- one that was not in "2011 Pics." So I inserted it into the folder, but the picture does not show up on the scrolling menu of pictures at the left of the calendar-making page. This happened last year and in frustration I started all over again. But surely there is a way to add a new picture to a calendar that is already laid out.

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

  • List View in Xcelsius and truncated lines

    Hi @ all,
    I use a List View in Xcelsius 2008 and sometimes, when the text is longer
    than the column width, unfortunately the text is truncated then.
    Is it possible to have then automatically two lines if the text is longer than the column width?
    That was the reason why I wanted to use the “Input Text Area”. But I cannot use
    the Input Text Area if I have more than 1 destination cell.
    Can you help me here?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi,
    You try to change or adjust the field lengths as shown below.
    In properities of the list view you can see the Push button " Configure Columns" Then change the length of the fields as you like.
