Updating images in Indesign

Is it > really < necessary to manually update images in Indesign when you have changed them? If you have changed a batch can you not just auto update the way you always could in that thing we used to use??
Thanks!

I'm having the same exact problem, except in CS6- probably the same program. I'm updating everything now, I'll let you know how it goes.

For all Jedi Masters: How can I update images in ScrollingImagePanels ?????

I have posted an old topic but now i understand my error.
Please people!!!! I think it is very simple, but i am not getting results at updating images in ScrollingImagePanels.
My ScrollingImagePanel in a JInternalFrame, and the JInternalFrame is in a JDesktopPane.
In my code i try to remove the actual ScrollingImagePanel and create a new other. But the are no references to the ScrollingImagePanel in the else block. The code doesn't compile. Please, see the code below for a good compreension:
public void atualiza(){
if (ziboro == false){ //no images displayed yet
ziboro = true;
JInternalFrame teste = new JInternalFrame("teste",true,true,true,true);
teste.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
teste.addInternalFrameListener(this);
teste.setLocation(10,10);
teste.setSize(new Dimension(200,200));
ScrollingImagePanel FlipVPanel = new ScrollingImagePanel(imagemBufa, 800, 800);
teste.getContentPane().add(FlipVPanel);
displayPanel.add(teste);
teste.setVisible(true);
teste.moveToFront(); return;
else{
System.out.println("Jedi!");
teste.getContentPane().remove(FlipVPanel);//This part is my problem
ScrollingImagePanel FlipVPanel = new ScrollingImagePanel(imagemBufa, 800, 800);
teste.getContentPane().add(FlipVPanel);
teste.setVisible(true);
teste.moveToFront();
return;
Thank you for your atention!
Poxa se vc entende portugu�s e quiser e souber me ajudar eu ia ficar agradecido pra caramba!

Ah! I'm sorry. Probably I couldn't explain you my problem. So let me give you some background.
We used to generate the preview of all the pages in an InDesign document using the export functionality. But we found that, it's a slow process especially when the document uses images that are huge in size (can even be 2 or more GB). So we decided that since InDesign already has the preview (we can see this even the image link is broken), why shouldn't we use this?
But while doing this, I realized that I can't get the preview of other pages except the first page.
So, can we say the script can't generate preview images of all the pages (I'm not talking about the individual images placed in a page), or the script is OK but it can do that only for CS5?

How not to automatically resize updated images

I'm stumped... I have all my images placed from illustrator at 100%. When I modify the illustrator files, and update the images in InDesign, not only does it resize (up or down), but it moves its x- and - placement coordinates, so I have to go back and double check each image every time updates are made. How do I turn this feature off or prevent it from happening?

If you change the dimension of your graphic in Illustrator, InDesign auto-detects the edges and resizes it, which is throwing off your percentage.
There is no way to turn this feature off, but a work-around is to create a static box behind your graphic in Illustrator. That way, as you change the dimension of your graphic, InDesign will fit to the box instead of the edge of your graphic.
As long as your graphic stays inside the box, this will avoid skewing your graphic and keep it in the same place.

Recurring images in INDESIGN document

I am trying to find a way to make my workflow easier. I publish a weekly newsletter which will have a standard format and recurring chart images each week. In order to avoid, inserting the same images ( which update with new data each week) each week, is there a way to set up the INDESIGN document so that it references the same image file on my hard drive which will get updated by me outside of the INDESIGN program?
This so that all I have to do is update the text portion of my newsletter. Thanks for your help.

If you want the updated image to be linked into the document, you need to save it in the same place as the old image, with the same name, so the link recognizes it. The link will display the out-of-date warning in InDesign's Links panel, because the datestamp has changed, of course. Update the link(s) to refresh the image(s) with the latest revised versions.
Try to set up a directory structure for your publication such that you can revise the graphics in one location and copy them to the location and name that's linked to the publication.
There may be some existing scripts that can save the current issue to a new name and perform link updates. Ask on the InDesign scripting forum.

Problem importing image bet InDesign/ Photoshop

I hope I can articulate this well enough.
I'm taking an image from an InDesign document, editing it in Photoshop, then dropping it back in InDesign.
The image is perfectly fine in InDesign, and it seems to be fine in PhotoShop. However, once I edit it and drop it back in InDesign, that's where the problem occurs. The photo now has the white background attached to it, which screws with the background in InDesign. While in Photosho, it appears to not have a background (selecting the entire image correctly only highlights the image itself and none of the background). Does anyone know how I can import it back into InDesign without gaining the white rectangular background?
Many thanks!

How are you getting the image from InDesign and into Photoshop? How did you get the image into InDesign in the first place? Is the image linked or embedded?
Basically, you're doing it the wrong way. You start with a Photoshop file, save it, then File > Place the inGe into InDesign, linking to the Photoshop file. You edit the image by editing the Photoshop file which, being lnked in InDesign, is updated on the fly.

Update images and save

Hi I was wondering if any one knew how i would be able to get images to update on open by using a javascript?
I have the javascript below that I have been trying to modify, that opens a single indesign file and saves it with modified images update. My only problem is that in will not do more than one file. If there are multiple files in a folder it will only update the images in the first indesign file it finds. Is there a way to modify this script to update all the indesign files it finds in a folder? Any assistance you can offer with this problem would be greatly appreciated
Thank you very much
if($error == null)
        try {
                var theLinks = app.documents[0].links;
                for (var i = 0; i < theLinks.length; i++)
                        theLinks[0].update();
        catch(theError) {
                app.documents[0].close(SaveOptions.no);
                $error = theError.description;

This traverses through all the files with extension indd in the folder you specify. You can write your code that opens the specified file in the for loop in the end
fold = new Folder(" folderPath here")
allFiles = fold.getFiles("*.indd")
for(i=0;i<allFiles.length;i++)
        //write your function here

Updated image is not continuing with the State Restore Phase

MDT 2010 Update 1
Our MDT guru quit about a month ago.   I've done basic stuff here and there
But have never updated an image..
1. I deployed our current image to a Vmware workstation. Added about 200 updates. Nothing else done.
     I than rebooted and logged in as local admin and ran litetouch.wsf in a command prompt.
     And ran the "Sysprep and Capture image" task sequence.
     This sysprep'd and imaged with no errors to the captures folder.
2. I than moved that updated image to the "Operating Systems" folder on the deployment share. Renamed the old .wim file and renamed the new one to be the same as the old one..    (Not completely sure this is the correct
way to do this) But couldn't find any info on how this is done)
I than proceeded to reimage a machine with the updated .wim.
It gets all the way to the State Restore phase and just stops.   After the final reboot. I logon with the local admin account as usual and it does not continue.   the Minint and _SMSTaskSequence folder are still there.. If
I let it set for hours nothing happens...
I compared the BDD.log file for both images.    They seem to be identical up until the State Restore phase is supposed to start.
I see NO errors in the BDD log file...
So I am lost as in what to do to try and remedy this issue..
Info From Sharepoint

Its the new WIM that is not continuing...
I did try the import.   and it did the same thing.
here is the ending of the BDD.log file

How do I save image and text as a single image in InDesign CS5.0?

How do I save an image and text as one image in InDesign CS5.0? NOT 5.5.
I need to save the image as a 72-dpi, jpg file for ePub purposes. I designed a book and am handing it off to someone for ePub.
This is what I've tried:
1) Copied from InDesign, pasted into a PhotoShop doc as a Smart Object. Saved it as 72 dpi jpg, then imported back into ID.
2) Took a screenshot of ID page, placed it in PS, saved as 72 dpi, imported into ID
3) Saved page as a PDF from InDesign, then saved PDF as 72 dpi jpg, then imported into ID.
4) Save page as a PDF from InDesign, placed into Photoshop and saved
as 72 dpi, then imported into ID.
5) Saved as an EPS from InDesign, placed in PS, then imported back to ID.
In all cases, the type looks terrible. It doesn't seem to matter whether I copy or place into Photoshop, though placing is slightly better.
HELP!!!

In all cases, the type looks terrible. It doesn't seem to matter whether I copy or place into Photoshop, though placing is slightly better.
Naturally what you did will result in rasterized text. Did you preview with high quality settings?
Are you sure the people who will handle that downstream need pixel images and do you have the exact pixel dimensions needed?
Why did you place the image back in Indesign, by the way?

How do I correctly update images on my Gallery page in Adobe Muse 2011-2013?

I am trying to update images on my Gallery page at: www.glennmcfall.com. When I add new images those new images are not active. When I click on the thumbnail (when I use Preview Page in Browser) the slideshow image appears , when I click on that image a larger image or video should appear but doesn't. I noticed when an image is active an image of a hand appears when hovering over the art/photo/video but this hand does not appear when I am trying to access the largest image. What do I need to do to correct this? I am using Adobe Muse 2011-2013 version.

Hi
Can you provide steps to follow for replication ?
I checked the site , but which thumbnails exactly shows this behavior etc ?
Thanks,

How to place the images in Indesign xml file by Javascript?

How to place the images in Indesign xml file by Javascript?
We got the Indesign xml file, how to give the image placement link by Indesign javascript? Please help me its urgent.

Hi,
You can pass the image url as a href attribute=> file:///Users/me/Documents/my_pic.jpg directly within your xml. It just needs that you pass a local, static and valid url.
If you want to add image later once the xml is flowed and so target specific nodes and inject images, it's a bit more complex. If the node is not part of the layout, you may try to reach the XMLElement objet and such an attribute, then layout the element.
var x = some XMLElement
x.xmlAttributes.add("href","file:///Users/m/Documents/my_pic.jpg" );
If already placed, then you have to get the associated pageItem, then place your file into it.
pagItm.place ( File ( "/Users/m/Documents/my_pic.jpg" ) );
Hope that helps,

Working with greyscale images in InDesign

I am designing a photobook in InDesign with several B&W images in it. InDesign in currently in PhoPhoto RGB working space. I am having the book printed by LuLu, and they require that any monochrome images in the PDF be in greyscale with a gamma between 2.2 and 2.4.
So I opened all the image files in Photoshop and converted them to "grey gamma 2.2", and then saved as JPGs and made sure to check the "embed grey gamma 2.2 profile" box.
However, when I place those images in InDesign, they look completely different! I went to "Color Settings" and then saw that InDesign doesn't have a greyscale working space. Now I understand why they look so different, but my question is - when I export the PDF from InDesign, will the images look like they did in Photoshop or will they have the "washed out" appearance they have in InDesign?
What's the best way to do this?

>I just want to make sure I'm getting all of this. I did also notice that LuLu recommends not converting from RGB to CMYK or vice versa. Since I shoot all of my images RAW and import them into Lightroom, which is in ProPhoto RGB, then I guess that means all of my color images should be exported from Photoshop in ProPhoto RGB and my working profile in ID should also be ProPhoto RGB. Since the working space and profiles are the same in each application, the images should look the same in both. Correct?
That's right, but again if you want to see the a preview of ProPhotoRGB converted to CMYK, you'll need to set your Proof Setup to a CMYK space. In Photoshop I edit color in RGB with Proof Colors turned on and the Proof Setup set to the destination CMYK space.
>You were suggesting converting them to CMYK in Photoshop
No! I was suggesting that you use a CMYK profile as your grayscale profile, which Photoshop allows. So, instead of Edit>Convert to Profile>Greyscale Gamma 2.2; you could set your Gray Working space to US Sheetfed via Color Settings>More Options>Gray>Load..., and then simply convert the RGB image to Grayscale via Mode>Grayscale. In this case your grayscale is profiled as if it were on the black plate of a CMYK file, so if you also use US Sheetfed in ID you'll get a similar preview.
Using a CMYK profile for grayscale in PS is a nice trick, but it isn't going to make or break the jobthere will always be variation depending on how much ink density the press operator is running. If this is the first job you are sending Lulu I would follow their instructions and use 2.2 as the grayscale space, then if there's an issue you can honestly say you followed their instructions.

How do you blur an image in InDesign CS5.5 (wtihout Photoshop)?

I'd like to apply a guassian blur to an image in InDesign CS5.5, but I don't have acces to Photoshop or any other real graphics program on my employers Windows laptop. Is there any feature in InDesign that would result in a guassian blur look?

Something like this? http://indesignsecrets.com/branislavs-great-ghost-technique.php

Getting text to appear on top of Image In InDesign 5

I am struggling to get some text to appear on top of an image in InDesign 5. I did fiddle with layers but it doesn't appear to have multiple layers.
Could someone walk me through making this work?
Appreciate the help!
Brian

It seems that even if I turn the image off in layers, the text fiend does not sho up. In other words, if I create a text field outside the printable area for the boot, the text is displayed, but when I drag it into the printable area, the text goes blank.
Let me get this one thing straight though: But draging the text layer entry above the image layer entry, the text layer would thus be above and on top(visable).??
But it's not working as a result of the above mentioned. I still seems to have something to do with the image layer that exists on the page.
Ooops! Bob, you hit the nail on the head. Although there was no text wrap spacing added, the text wrap was on. So, selecting a particular image and removing "text wrap" only applies the attributes only to that image. All other images still have text wrap on.....which is what I want.
Thanks to all.

Cutting out images in indesign, clipping path problems

Hi,
I have been putting images of my drawings from photoshop onto indesign for my portfolio, after looking around the only way I can seem to find to cut them out is using clipping path/detect edges.
The problem I have is because they are scanned sketches this method produces really inacurate and shoddy results and no matter how much I play around with the threshold and tollerance this means I still have to mess around with the pen and arrow tool for ages on each image.
Is there a quicker solution to cutting them out like the magic wand or lasoo tool on indesign?
It has taken days now in in design , I have all the images already cut out from their original pages on photoshop but the white box always comes around again when I drag or place the images in indesign.
I have been shorcutting some pages and doing layout on photoshop and placing the image behind which works fine sometimes but is really inconviiant when I want to move the layout around text ot anything...... i have attatched some pictures to show you what I mean.
Thanks for your help in advance
Leo

Well Thats 2 days of my life Ill never get back!
Thankyou very much! cant belive I was that stupid
