Use bitmap for texturing a vectorial image

How can i use a bitmap tile for texturing a vectorial image ?

Select-bitmap> Modify> Bitmap> Trace Bitmap
detailed settings make flash crash so be careful. This converts bitmap to vector if thats what you were looking for.

Is there any way to avoid a huge memory spike when using CGContextDrawImage for a high resolution image?

Hi,
I'm trying to fix the orientation of an UIImage in my app (iPad 2, iOS 7). I'm using the method described here: https://gist.github.com/alex-cellcity/1531596, but a huge memory spike appears when CGContextDrawImage is called. The image size I'm trying to fix is 2848x4288.
Anybody knows any algorithm to avoid this huge spike?
Thanks,
Roberto.

While I never done iOS code it appears that the code you link to basically does the following:
takes a large image A
generates a transformation matrix by doing rotation in 90 degree increments and by mirroring
creates a large image B
draws image A into B using the transformation matrix
releases memory for image A
goes on using image B
This results in a memory peak as you have two large images in RAM, until image A gets deallocated, which can't be done until B has been drawn.
I can see two possible solutions to this, both which probably require you to explicitly modify individual pixels:
1) Try to simplify the solution - if 180 degree rotation and mirroring is enough to solve your image issues, then a simple in-place (same bitmap) pixel swap could be done.
2) Find more memory - if you need 90, 270 or arbitrary degrees of rotation as well, you could instead keep either image A or B on disc.
Keep image A on disc: read pixels from disc and place appropriately in image B. This may require you to first load image A and write it back to disc as ARGB data (one byte for each color) for easy access.
Keep image B on disc: get pixel from image A and place it at the right location in image (file) B - this will require pre-creating a file of the correct size for Bs ARGB data and then moving the insertion point for writing around. When done dealloc image A and load image B.
Keep image A and B on disc: combine using disc for image A and B - this will minimize RAM usage but will probably be the slowest solution and will increases disc (SSD/flash) load and wear.

Can I use OCR for just a single image in a text document?

Hi All
I have a 37page pdf document that is mostly recognised text. i think this document was created in MS word then converted to PDF. I did not make this document.
There are images inserted on some pages that are scans from another document. The document has footnotes, page numbers, title, text paragraphs on the pages with the images i want to ocr. I have already used the highlight an sticky note functions for some of the recognised text and don't want them lost.
I have tried using OCR for the whole document but it doesn't work (renderable error).
Can I use the OCR function just on a selected image within a document that has renderable text for the most part?
thanks.

Using swf for source of spark image

Hi, I'm not sure if something changed in flex 4.5.1 but I have a published version of my app from earlier (flex 4.0) that uses a spark image control and I'm able to assign a swf as the source and it displays no problem. I just tried in my newest version and I recieve an error "Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::MovieClip@e523f91 to flash.display.Bitmap". I'm not trying to access any properties -- just setting '.source = abc.swf'.
Anyone have any idea why I can't assign a swf to an image control anymore?

Yeah, it was harder than I thought it would be. I got it to display with this subclass of BitmapImage, but I didn’t beat it up so there might be other issues:
package
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
import spark.core.IGraphicElement;
import spark.core.DisplayObjectSharingMode;
import spark.primitives.BitmapImage;
import mx.events.FlexEvent;
public class MyBitmapImage extends BitmapImage
    private var imageWidth:Number;
    private var imageHeight:Number;
    override protected function measure():void
        super.measure();
        measuredWidth = imageWidth;
        measuredHeight = imageHeight;
    override public function canShareWithPrevious(element:IGraphicElement):Boolean
        return false;
    override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void
        super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
    override protected function contentComplete(content:Object):void
        var loaderInfo:LoaderInfo = content as LoaderInfo;
        // For untrusted content we must host the acquired Loader
       // instance directly as our DisplayObject.
       displayObjectSharingMode = DisplayObjectSharingMode.OWNS_UNSHARED_OBJECT;
        invalidateDisplayObjectSharing();
        // Create a content holder to use as our display object.
       var contentHolder:Sprite = new Sprite();
        setDisplayObject(contentHolder);
        contentHolder.addChild(loaderInfo.loader);
        // Retain our source image width and height.
       imageWidth = loaderInfo.width;
        imageHeight = loaderInfo.height ;
        // Update
       if (!explicitHeight || !explicitWidth)
            invalidateSize();
        invalidateDisplayList();
        // Dispatch ready event
       dispatchEvent(new FlexEvent(FlexEvent.READY));

Use DW for mouse over button images but won't validate

Hi All,
I've done this three times and give up. Here's the link http://pooledesignstudio.com/wendysawesomeart/
I used the Rollover Image icon on the common tool bar and created my nav bar.
When I try to validate I get 24 errors and they are in the code that DW generates to make the rollover switchout happen. I have no idea how to fix it.
Please help.
Thank you,
KathPoole

The simplest fix is to change the DOCTYPE.
You're using a XHTML Transitional DOCTYPE.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
If you replace it with a HTML5 DOCTYPE
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
you'll eliminate most of those "errors".

Are the texture presets and images available in Adobe Premiere Pro free for commercial use?

Are the texture presets and images available in Adobe Premiere Pro free for commercial use (in this case, an image of a film reel is being used on a book cover)?

What the other users have said is correct. Premiere captures through FireWire or through SDI/HDMI via a 3rd party solution.
For your situation I would say the best bet is to connect you camera to your computer via USB or use a card reader and copy the entire directory to your hard drive and ingest into Premiere via Media Browser.
If you Google 'how to make stop motion in premiere pro' there are tons of great tutorials.

How to use icon instead of bitmap for image on button in toolbar?

Hello,
I am trying to use an image that has a transparent background on one of the buttons on our custom toolbar in Adobe Acrobat.
In the past we have been using the following code with Bitmaps to display the image and it has worked perfectly:
======================================================================
AVIcon icon = LoadBitmap(gHINSTANCE, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_OPTIONS_LARGE));
toolButton = AVToolButtonNew(ASAtomFromString("IMGR:Options"), icon, true, false);
====================================================================
Background info on the other objects:
V0200_DATA* dataPtr = (V0200_DATA*) windowsData;
gHINSTANCE = dataPtr->hInstance;
Resource File:
IDB__OPTIONS_LARGE BITMAP "Resources\\ImageOptions_Large.bmp"
IDI_ICON1 ICON "Resources\\Image_Icon.ico"
Unfortunately, these bitmaps are not transparent and end up showing the white background instead of the transparent one.
I have tried using Icons and PNGs as my image but I have been unable to get anything to show up. Here is the code I am using to get the AVIcon:
===================================================================
AVIcon icon = LoadImage(gHINSTANCE, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_ICON1), IMAGE_ICON, 0, 0, LR_DEFAULTSIZE);
===================================================================
However, no image appears on the toolbar. I am able to use LoadImage with the bitmap, but I am unable to make it transparent, even when using the LR_LOADTRANSPARENT flag.
If anyone can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks,
Ryan

I got it worked with PNG file. I got transparent backgrounds in toolbar and menus.
below is my code,
HRSRC resource = FindResource(gHINSTANCE, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_SAVE_21_PNG), L"PNG");
if( resource == NULL )
//Unable to load resource
DWORD resourceSize = SizeofResource(gHINSTANCE, resource);
HGLOBAL glob = LoadResource(gHINSTANCE, resource);
LPVOID resouceArray = LockResource(glob);
ASUns8 *data = (ASUns8*)ASmalloc(resourceSize + 1);
memcpy(data, resouceArray, resourceSize);
AVIconDataRec iconData;
iconData.dataStm = ASMemStmRdOpen(( char *)data, resourceSize);
iconData.eColorFormat = kAVIconColor;
void * iconBundle = AVAppCreateIconBundle6(kAVIconPNG, &iconData, 1);
AVToolButtonNew (ASAtomFromString("PFXDOC:Pfx_DocumentToolSave"),
iconBundle, true, false);
Thanks & Regards

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
and select the Library that you moved. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

I have just started to use Muse for our design agency and learning how to build ourselves a new site, I have managed to create a basic lightbox which contains sliding images, what I need to do now is have a pop up window which goes into detail about the projects, what I would like is a piece of text or icon that when you roll over it and then click a separate window pops up with additional information in, once finished reading the info you can then click to close the box, any advice on how to do this?

The best way to do what you're asking is with the Composition widget. Start with the Tooltip preset, which, by default shows the info on rollover. You can change the option to show on click, which is what you're after. You can also add the close button or have the info disappear on rollout.

Best-practice for use of object styles to manage image text wrap issues when aiming at both print and EPUB output?

I have a work-flow question about object styles, text-wrap, and preparing a long document with lots of images for dual print/EPUB output in InDesign CC 2014.
I am sort of experienced with InDesign but new to EPUB export. I have hundreds of pages and hundreds of images so I'd like to make my EPUB learning curve, in particular, less painful.
Let me talk you through what I'm planning and you tell me if it's stupid.
It's kind of a storybook-look I'm going for. Single column of text (6" by 9" page) with lots of small-to-medium images on the page (one or two images per page), and the text flowing around, sometimes right, sometimes left. Sometimes around the bounding box, sometimes following the edges of the images. So in each case I'm looking to tweak image size and placement and wrap settings so that the image is as close to the relevant text as possible and the layout isn't all wonky. Lovely print page the goal. Lots of fussy trade-offs and deciding what looks best. Inevitably, this will entail local overrides of paragraph styles. So what I want to do, I guess, is get the images as closely placed as possible, before I do any of that overriding. Then I divide my production line.
1) I set aside the uniformly-styled doc for later EPUB export. (This is wise, right? Start for EPUB export with a doc with pristine styles?)
2) With the EPUB-bound version set aside, I finish preparing the print side, making all my little tweaks. So many pages, so many images. So many little nudges. If I go back and nudge something at the beginning everything shifts a little. It's broken up into lots of separate stories, but still ... there is no way to make this non-tedious. But what is best practice? I'm basically just doing it by hand, eyeballing it and dropping an inline anchor to some close bit of text in case of some storm, i.e. if there's a major text change my image will still be almost where it belongs. Try to get the early bits right so that I don't have to go back and change them and then mess up stuff later. Object styles don't really help me with that. Do they? I haven't found a good use for them at this stage (Obviously if I had to draw a pink line around each image, or whatever, I'd use object styles for that.)
Now let me shift back to EPUB. Clearly I need object styles to prepare for export. I'm planning to make a left float style and a right float style and a couple of others for other cases. And I'm basically going to go through the whole doc selecting each image and styling it in whatever way seems likeliest. At this point I will change the inline anchors to above line or custom, since I'm told EPUB doesn't like the inline ones.
I guess maybe it comes down to this. I realize I have to use object styles for images for EPUB, but for print, manual placement - to make it look just right - and an inline anchor seems best? I sort of feel like if I'm going to bother to use object styles for EPUB I should also use them for print, but maybe that's just not necessary? It feels inefficient to make so many inline anchors and then trade them for a custom thing just for EPUB. But two different outputs means two different workflows. Sometimes you just have to do it twice.
Does this make sense? What am I missing, before I waste dozens of hours doing it wrong?

I've moved your question to the InDesign EPUB forum for best results.

How stop PS6 from removing the DPI value from an image when using "save for the web"?

How stop PS6 from removing the DPI-value from an image when using "save for the web"?
Example:
- Open a tif image, that contains a dpi value (resolution).
- Use the splice tool in PS6.
- Export the slices with "Save for web", as gif-files.
Then the dpi value is removed, the gif files has no dpi value (it's empty).
How can we stop PS6 from removing the dpi value when using "save for web"?
OR:
When using the slice tool, how can we save the sliced pieces without PS removing the dpi value?

you can make your art go a little bit over the bounds. or you can make sure your artboart and art edges align to pixels

I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

Hello al!
I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

Just create a new page (or use the existing photo page) on your external site and use html to add an iframe sized to the page and link it to the mobilme gallery page. Works for me just fine when showing my gallery from a yahoo site.
like this
<iframe scrolling="off" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" style="width:100%;height:100%;border:none" src="http://gallery.me.com/your_account_name"></iframe>

Corrupt (weird?) images after using Safe for web?

Since upgrading to CS4 i noticed that a number of images saved with 'save for web' do not display in a browser? It happens for jpegs as well as gifs, and when i upload them to a server they won't display - not even if i use the direct link to the image. Instead, i see the file-name displayed in firefox. I also noticed that saving the same image with the same save-for-web-setting 2 times gives me a massivee discrepancy in filesize - like 60k for the one, and 1.8mb for the other?
Yesterday i uploaded a 'save-for-web'-image to Twitter, and Twitter told me that "...the image can't be used. Is it animated?" - the weirdest thing about this was that it was a jpeg - ever heard of animated jpegs?!
Anybody else noticed something like this? I've been working with both Photoshop as well as webdesign for more than 10 years, so i can assure you i know what i'm doing. I just don't know what to do about this issue?
Thanks for your help!
Hans

It's only really good for Adobe document formats, if you want to be able to view and/or tag documents.

I'm using FF for Mac 3.6.13 and everytime I open a new window or tab the image of what I see is tiny which requires me to click Command + to enlarge it. The actual page is normal size, but its the image of the page that opens tiny.

I'm using FF for Mac 3.6.13 and every time I open a new window or tab the image of what I see is tiny which then requires me to click Command + to enlarge it about 4 or 5 times. The actual page is normal size, but its the image (what I see) of the page that is tiny.

Thanks but Command 0 on a Mac only makes a temporary change to that one page. The link you provided doesn't show how to make a permanent change. Do you know how to permanently change this so I don't have to do it to every new page?
Thank you.
