Update or replace images

How to update or replace images in Pages without placing them again?

The sizing should work to make it fit the way you had it, cropping is a whole other issue however,
I understand what you are after, because you want to update an edited version of the same image.
Pages is not that co-operative and whilst it tends to repeat styling I am never quite sure how it decides what it will include or not of the properties.

Replace Images in Keynote '09

I need to update a presentation with new updated images. Is there a way to swap the current image with another, keeping its animation and properties without going through the pains of inserting the new image, formating it and reapplying the animation. (I can do this in Powerpoint)

Another way I use all the time is to open the package and replace images. As long as the new image has the same name as the original, when you open the document it will load the new image with the same settings as the original. Note that the new version of keynote does not save projects as packages unless you tell it to in the settings... and then it only does that to new documents.

How to request - Updating an embedded image in a PDF using Actions but not all actions are recorded

i am trying to create an Action in CS3 but some of my actions are not been recorded.
What i want to do is run the Batch option on a folder with a 1,000 PDFs in it. The PDFs
(which were created in Illustrator CS3) consist of a single page with a single embedded
image at the foot of the page. I am trying to update that embedded image.
The Actions i am trying to record are...
1) Select the single image in the Links palette.
2) Choose the "Relink.." option in the drop down menu of the Links palette.
3) Navigate to the new image and select "Place".
4) Save and close document.
But the first two actions are not been recorded.
How do i get around this problem ?
Note: From trying this manually the new image seems to take on the horizontal and
vertical scaling of the previous image which is what i want. But if i am going to have to
do a script then that is a factor that may have to be incorporated into the script.
Any help appreciated.

Give this a trial… It does a save as which is much safer than overwriting… At least you still have your originals should I get something wrong…? I did test but only with 3 files…
#target illustrator

          var i, doc, fileList, inFolder, outFolder, opts, pic, rep, rip, saveFile, uIL;
          inFolder = Folder.selectDialog( 'Please choose your Folder of AI PDFs…' );
          outFolder = Folder.selectDialog( 'Please choose a Folder to save AI PDFs in…' );
          pic = File.openDialog( 'Please choose your replacement Image…' );
          if ( inFolder != null && outFolder != null && pic != null ) {
                    fileList = inFolder.getFiles( /\.pdf$/i );
                    if ( fileList.length > 0 ) {
                              uIL = app.userInteractionLevel;
                              app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;
                              for ( i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++ ) {
                                        doc = app.open( fileList[i] );
                                        rip = doc.rasterItems[0].position;

Aperture replaces images with other images that have the same image number

Help! Aperture has started replacing images in recent projects with older images from elsewhere on my hard drive that have the same image number. Obviously I need a better numbering system, but can someone help me figure out why this is happening? I store master files on an external drive and the "replacement" files seem to be coming from identically named images on my local HD or in iPhoto.

I started renaming all of my images when I import them. I'm using referenced images to an external drive, although I still have a bunch of older images stored in the Aperture library under my old numbering system (which was basically whatever image number the camera generated)....need to move them all to the external drive but haven't had time.
So here's the latest problem: Today, Aperture started replacing images in albums (referenced images with unique file names under my new system) with old images even though the file names weren't even remotely close. It also replaced the images with the preview for the old image (230 pixels wide). "Show master" showed me the preview for the old image, not the correct image.
I tried forcing an update to the preview, but it had no effect. The real masters are intact on the external drive, but this is really scaring me. It happens out of the blue, right in front of me...I watch as my images appear to be replaced with random old images in Aperture. It appears to have nothing to do with file names, as I'm now using totally unique file names.

Process for replacing images

I would like to get our opinion on how I am working when replacing images.
The help-project has not been updated since it first was generated but much has been done to the system. So there are a lot of images to replace but I have very limited time and the customer want as much as possible to be done. This means that I have to do some things in a way that might not be the best way but is the fastest. But I don’t want to work in a way that we later regret because it causes some problem that I haven’t realized yet. I don’t have much knowledge of the updates of the system or of the RoboHelp-project (what is described in the help, where in the help is it described).
I capture the image with IrfanWiew.
I delete the old image in the Design Editor. (I’m aware that the image is not removed from the project but I will deal with this later.)
I paste the image in the Design Editor. (I find this the fastest way to get the new pictures where they should go.)
When I have finished replacing images I create a folder and drag the images there (either in RoboHelp or in Windows Explorer). The old images are in a separate folder but I don’t want the new images in the same folder because it might be some name conflicts.
I remove unused images by looking at the report Unused Files.
Is this an ok way to work?

If you are replacing one image with another, you could could save them with the same file name and in the same location. Your project should then pick it up. However there is a proviso that the old and new images are exactly the same size. If they are not, you may have to reset the image size inside the Design Editor for each image.
If you use your workflow, I would not paste the image in. Whilst this is acceptable, you'll end up with image file names that bear no resemblance to the image (e.g. image001.png, image002.png, etc.) which may create future difficulties. Also ensure you drag your images from INSIDE your project. If you do this in Windows, your project will be unaware you have moved them and report them as broken links.

Replacing image and keeping existing action in Flash CS5.5

I'm updating an existing Flash swf file that was created using CS5.5. The only thing I have to do is replace the image used. When I import the new image it changes the action used with the existing image. How can I import the image I want to use AND keep the existing action that was used? My apologies if I'm using the wrong forum for this question. Thanks!

attach a screenshot that shows what you're doing when importing and describe the location of the code relative to the about to be replaced image.

Batch Replace Images

I have been working on a project that requires a slide presentation consisting solely of a number of .psd images. While waiting for one final asset from the client, I decided to go ahead and throw together the presentation in Keynote, thinking I could just update the .psd images easily after I finished editing them with the final asset. However, to my dismay, I have learned that Keynote isn't intelligent in this regard to realize when I have updated assets used by it, nor does it give me any tools to accomplish the task of updating an image short of recreating the entire project.
Is there a way to batch replace images used by Keynote? This seems like an incredibly simple workflow task, but it seems there is no simple way to do it. I found one other thread that suggested looking at the package contents of my .key document, but that doesn't seem to work anymore - the option to view package contents doesn't show up on my context menu.
I'm going to go ahead and spend the hour recreating this document, but it would be nice to know the answer to this question for future reference! This is something I know even PowerPoint can accomplish... :/

Welcome to the forums!
Keynote files are still packages, but the default behaviour for Keynote is to compress them as a ZIP file. If you change the file extension from .key to .zip, then uncompress the result, you will get a folder with the package contents, including the images. To make this back into a standard package, just add the .key extension to the folder (to get the compressed package, first compress the folder, then add the .key).
You can control whether a package is stored as a single compressed file or not in the Keynote Preferences.

Why can't we replace images in photo stream?

Shared photo streams could be great, but it has a big downside because we cannot replace images in it. How many times haven't I uploaded images that I later wanted to edit? But the only way to replace an image is to delete it and upload a new one. It will appear at the end of the stream as a new project, and all comments will disappear.
Please give us a better way to replace images, that makes it possible to keep the original place in the photo stream, and keep the comments.

Did you have the phone set to backup things to the One Drive on Microsoft servers?

Is there a way to "embed"/add Office updates to the image before deployment?

Hi,
in my TS I enabled preapp and postapp Updates
So first windows patches are applied. Then computer reboots installs apps.
I just enabled bunch of Office 2013 updates on WSUS. Office patches takes very long time.
Is there a way to embed patches in MDT to save update time.
Never used Packages node in MDT may this thing can help?
How you deal with massive updates?
Windows image can be updated, but Office for example that is installed after Windows deployment...
Thx.
"When you hit a wrong note it's the next note that makes it good or bad". Miles Davis

b.lange,
no I do not install O2013 into the image. It is deployed as post OS install Application.
I really don't see any significant gain of using individual patches in Updates or from WSUS.
BTW, I am still confused about getting MS patches (KBs) beside by WSUS and creating msp from bunch of them.
Could you please briefly describe where and how to download Office 2013 patches for Example from Feb 1 2014 until Sep 15 2014. And then create msp for placing to Updates folder.
Is there something specific for Office 2013 patches that makes it easy to get as a package (one file)?
Thanks.

That will probably require a script, so ask in the pertinent forum.

Script for replacing Image from a frame into InDesign document file

Hi All,
I am having an indesign document (indd) file with images and texts. I am using InDesign Server CS4 to run the scripts via SOAP.
My requirement is to replace any of the images from the required frame/s of indesign document through scripting (I already have frame id of which image needs to be replaced). I have written written java-script file (as given below): but when I execute this java-script on InDesign Server via SOAP, I get follwoing error into InDesign Server:
10/03/09 15:15:54 INFO [javascript] Executing File: \\Server_IP_Address\JavaScript_File_Path\JavaScript_File.js

var tmp_frmid="1339"; //frame id of which image needs to be replaced.
for (var i=0;i<myDocument.pages.length;i++)
var objPage=myDocument.pages.item(i);
var objPageitems = objPage.pageItems;

var new_width = obj.geometricBounds[1] + ((new_height / old_height) * old_width);
myImage.geometricBounds = [obj.geometricBounds[0] + "mm", obj.geometricBounds[1] + "mm", obj.geometricBounds[2] + "mm", new_width + "mm"];
var diff = obj.geometricBounds[1] - myImage.geometricBounds[1];
myImage.move( undefined, [diff,0] );

app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality["JPEGOptionsQuality.low"];
app.documents.item(0).exportFile(ExportFormat.jpg, previewFile);
myDocument.close();
I have very urgent requirement; if anyone have any idea; please suggest me. \
It would be highly appreciable.
Kind Regards,

How to replace images in slideshow?

I would like to replace images in slideshow, but I can see only ADD option.

Thanks Parikshit.
Looks the trick would be to turn on Thumbnails, delete the image and turn it off.

10.4.7 update screws up image file associations

Since installing the 10.4.7 update, all my image files now open in Preview as the default application, regardless of Type or Creator.
I know that the file association of an individual can be changed via Get Info, however, I have 11,000+ image files in various formats as well as several thousand PDFs scattered across three hard drive, and do not want to waste several days tracking them all down and changing their file associations manually.
I know that the "Change All" button in the Get Info panel is supposed to change all documents of a given type to the selected application, however, the "Change All" function seems to be broken because hitting "Change All" simply reverts everything to Preview.
Deleting Preview does not solve the problem, as everything then defaults to Image Tricks; deleting Image Tricks simply defaults everything to Color Sync; deleting Color Sync defaults everything to Graphic Converter, which is fine for JPEGS, but I need Photoshop files to open in Photoshop, Illustrator files to open in Illustrator, etc.
Is there a script or other simple way of changing the default application for various file types at the system level, i.e., so that .JPG always open in Graphic Converter, .PSD and .TIF in Photoshop, .PDF in Acrobat Reader, etc.?
Thanks.

Well, I had it happen to me again yesterday, i.e., all graphics files defaulting to Preview. I changed them back using the procedure I used earlier, but if this continues, it's going to be a MAJOR problem.
Even after you selected, for
example, Graphic Converter as the default application
in the Open With pop-up menu, per step 3 in "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Changing
the application that opens a document."
Unfortunately, no, not even after selecting Graphic Converter as the default app in the Open With menu.
I think you
mean Show Inspector, which is Command-Option-I, vs.
Command-I for Get Info. The Inspector displays
common info for a selection of objects, so you can
change the default app for multiple files in one
window.
Hmm ... I get the same "Multiple Item Info" panel whether I hit Command-I and Command-Option-I if I have more than 10 files selected. In any case, I hit Command-I to bring up the Multiple Item Info panel.
3. The anomalies you described are very strange. As
a general check, run the Procedure specified in my
"Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache
Corruption" FAQ. I'd recommend at least running
Steps 1-3.
I'll give it a go. Thanks!

I updated iphoto and images weren't visible.

I updated iphoto and images weren't visible. Still in the library but not visible.. did all the normal start up fixes like rebuilding thumbnails, database etc --- bt nothing worked...
I copied images folders ORIGINAL MODIFIED etc -to an external harddrive and tried to restore my library from time maching - but now it tells me I don't have the memory...
Of course I deleted the 'new' library and tried ... still the same information.
I am now copying my time machine iphoto library to an external harddrive - but what is the go with this? I've also lost my iphoto books that took hours to build...
I'm devastated!
Any help would be appreciated!

Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
