Using a very wide image in Muse

Ok, I know there must be a simple solution but I can't find it!
I just want to create a site and place a very wide image in the middle. I want the user to be able to move right or left along the image with the web header etc reamining in the middle of the page. Later I would like to add clickable elements to the image. Could anyone help please?

After the image has been placed and resized, go to it in the Assets panel and right click and choose "Import Larger Size". By default Muse limits imported images to 2048 pixels in the largest dimension. In general this results in images that are far larger than what you should be typically using on the web in order to have reasonable page load times. However, when you have a case where an image needs to be larger, you can resize it larger in Muse then use this right menu item to bring in more image data.
If you're going to have a very wide image in your design, you're going to want to do everything you can to reduce its file size. If it's a JPG, use Photoshop's Save for Web features and reduce the compression quality to as low a value as you can possibly stand.
Current average broadband download speeds in the US equate to roughly 900k/second (and that number is optimal since it ignores the latency to create a connection). In general download speeds are higher on the coasts of the country and lower in the middle states. If you end up putting a 3Mb image on your home page every visitor to your site will have to wait on average 3+ seconds for the page to load and that doesn't include the time for whatever other content is added to the page or the overhead for creating the connection to the server in the first place. Especially on mobile devices site visitors are very quick to abort attempting to load a site if the load time is more than a few seconds, so designs that use images with large dimensions need to make special efforts to reduce file sizes and weigh the tradeoffs between achieving a specific design versus turning away impatient site visitors.

  • Is there a way to use EXIF information from images in Muse?

    I use Lightroom to manage my images. In Lightroom, I enter Caption metadata. (In the Lightroom Library, I enter data in the Caption field of the Metadata section.) Now I'd like use that Caption data to create an ALT tag in Muse. Is there any way to do that, short of copying the text from Lightroom and pasting it into Muse?
    Here's why that wouldn't work for me. I have hundreds of images on my site. When I export images from Lightroom for my Muse site, I rename them. The names are generated by LR, so they're not consistent each time I generate them. Over in muse, that means I have to re-enter ALT tags every time I generate a new version of my slide show -- even if the images are the same. So what I'm looking for is a way to have Muse take the Caption data from each image's EXIF Metadata and use it to generate the ALT tag.
    Can anybody think of a way to do this?
    Thanks,
    Jonathan

    Unfortunately there is no way to do that current stage , you would need to add the tags manually.
    Thanks,

  • Keynote unable to handle very large images

    I need to use a very long image (1341 x 21221px), and dragging it into my presentation causes it to be scaled down and blurry. I have tried in Keynote 6.0 and 6.1. (More context: I use an animated pan from the top of the image to the bottom, so cropping/scaling is not an option.)
    I have unchecked "Scaled placed images to fit on slide" in the preferences. Keynote 5.x was able to handle this OK. The new Keynote will not.
    If anyone has a workaround, I'd love to hear it.

  • How to handle very wide EPS images?

    Hello,
    I am working on a project where we need to be able to open very wide EPS images in photoshop, but seems that the program has some limit. The image contains a printed music stave
    Please, see the attached eps file: I am able to open it with Preview (MacOS) despite it is truncated in some way, but I am completely unable to open it with Photoshop. Is there any other possible program to try if Photoshop fails?
    Any thoughts are very welcome.
    Thank you in advance!
    Best,
    Fabrizio

    Thank you guys and sorry for the automresponder, I really don't know how to avoid that!
    Anyway, as you can see all the files are truncaed. Any solution? It's interesting how the EPS file actually includes hte complete file but no program seems to be capable to display it entirely.
    Thank you again.
    Best,

  • Making a very wide page slide to the left

    I have a very wide page in my site and I'm wondering what device I can use so that the page slides to the left. I want it to move gradually rather than in steps, as an anchor tag would do.
    Similar to what this home page does, although this is a slide show. My page contains a series of text blocks and images.
    Is there such a thing in Muse? Am I overlooking something obvious?
    Thanks for any assistance.

    Hi Bud,
    You can achieve this by creating a wide page. Increase the page width in page properties.
    After which you need to place the anchors as you move towards the right on the page and then create objects which link to them for the page transition to happen.

  • How do I change an image in muse composition news feature widget?

    how do I change an image in muse compostion news feature widget?

    There are multiple ways to do that.
    You can either use File > Place to place an image on the page somewhere and then drag the image inside the widget target container.
    Or you can go to Assets panel, go to the image you want to change, right (or command) click on it and choose Relink. Then navigate to the new image and select it to replace the current image.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • Please help!! "Can't open the illustration. This artwork contains a very large image that can not...

    Hi all, I am subscribing Illustrator CS6 16.0.0 and using it on Windows 7.
    Few days ago I was working with one file, I saved it successfully and now when I'm trying to open it an error message occures "Can't open the illustration. This artwork contains a very large image that can not be read on this version of AI. Please try with 64-bit version." and ALMOST ALL of the objects (vector) are missing as if they were deleted!
    It's kind of strange since I created the file with the same program and everything was working properly before.
    Please Please advice further steps for recovering my file.

    Thank you so much! the file is recovered (as well as my emotional state )
    The finding of the day - apparently I have two versions of AI in my PC!

    It is not possible to create it using the out of the Box features of Adobe Muse.

  • When printing off the web, I get very wide margins. a 2-page article, will print in 46 pages!

    When printing off the web, I get very wide margins. a 2-page article, will print in 46 pages!

    Try resetting your printer margins in '''about:config'''.
    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Filter = '''print_margin'''
    Right-click and select '''Reset''' for both '''''margin_left''''' and '''''margin_right''''' for that particular printer, and then restart Firefox. If you have ever used other "printers" in that Firefox Profile, you'll have separate groups of preferences listed for each printer.

  • When i close firefox (normally click red X) i always see an very brief image of a previous screen as well as the one i just closed. This is only since new version downloaded.

    As the questions says: when i close the screen using the red X i always see a very brief image of a previous webpage. This has only been since i downloaded the latest version of firefox.
    I have no idea if it is harmful to my system. It seems to be constant each time i close firefox.

    This can be caused by clearing the cookies via [[Clear Recent History]].<br />
    * Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history" > [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
    You can try to exclude the cookies to test that.<br />
    You can let all cookies expire when you close Firefox to remove unwanted cookies and keep the ones with an allow exception.
    * Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Keep until": "I close Firefox"
    If you use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the cookies when you close Firefox then Firefox also tries to clear the cookies from plugins like Flash and starts a plugin-container process for each plugin and possibly for each cookie (?) and that can add extra time if there are a lot of cookies to remove and also can cause an unresponsive script error to appear.

  • Bridge CS4 with very large image archves

    I have just catalogued 420,000 images from 3TB of my photographic collection. For those interested, the master cache files became quite large and took about 9 days of continuous processing:
    cache size: 140 gb
    file count: 991,000
    folder count: 3000
    All cache files were also exported to the disk directories.
    My primary intent was to use the exported cache files as a "quick" browsing mechanism with bridge. Of course, "quick" is a rather optimistic word, however is is very significantly faster than having bridge rebuild caches as needed.
    I am now trying to decide if it is worth keeping the master bridge cache because of the limitations of the bridge implementation which is not very flexible as to where and when the master cache adds new temporary cache entries.
    Any suggestions as to the value of keeping the master cache would be appreciated. I don't really need key word or other rating systems since I presently use a simple external data base for this type for image location.
    I am also interested in knowing if the "500,000" entry cache limitation is real - or if more than 500,000 images can be stored in the master cache since I will be exceeding this image count next year.

    I have a bridge 5 cache system with 600,000 images over 8 TB of networded disk.  I too use this to "speed up" the browsing process and rely primarily on key word processing to group images.  The metadata indexing is, for practical purposes, totally useless (it never ceases to amaze me about why Adobe things it useful for me to know how many images were taken with a lens focal length of 73mm - or some other equally useless statistic).  The only thing I can think of that is are serious missing keyword indexing feature is the ability to have a key word associated with a directory.  For example, I have shot many dozens of dance, theatre, music and sports productions - it would be much more useful to cataloge a directory that has the key words "Theatre" and "Romeo and Juliette" than attempt to key-word each individual image.   It is, of course, possible to work around the restrictions but that is very unclean and certainly less than desireable.   Key-wording a project (i.e. a directory) is a totally different kettle of fish than key-wording an image.  I also find the concept of the "collection" is very useful and well implemented.
    I do maintain a complete cache build of my system.  It is spread over two master caches, one for the first 400,000 images and a second for the next 400,000 (I want to stay within the 500,000 cache size limit - it is probabley associated with the MYSQL component of Bridge and I think may have problems if you exceed the limit by a substantial amount.  With Bridge on CS3, when the limit was exceeded , the cache system self-distructed and I had to rebuild).
    The only thing I can think of (and that seems to be part of Adobe's design) is that Bridge will rebuild the master cache for a working directory "for no apparent reason" such as when certain (unknown) changes are made to ACR,   Other automatic rebuilds have been reported by others however Adobe does not comment upon when or what casuses a rebuild.  Of course, this has serious impact upon getting work done - it is a bloody pain to have bridge suddenly process 1500 thumbs and preview extracts simply to keep the master cache completely and perfectly synchronized (in terms of image quality) with what might be displayed if you happen if you want to load a raw image into photoshop.  This strategy is IMHO completely out of step with how (at least I) use the browsing features of bridge.
    It may be of concern that Adobe may, for design reasons, change the format of the directory cache files and you will have to completely rebuild all master and directory caches yet again - which is a real problem if you have many hundreds of thousands of images.  This happened when the cache system changed from CS3 to CS4 - and Adobe did not provide conversion programme to migrate the old to new format.  This significantly adds to the rebuild time since each raw image must be completely reprocessed.  My current rebuild of the master cache has taken over two elapsed weeks of contunuous running.
    It would be nice if Adobe would allow some control over what is recorded in the master cache - for example, "do you wish meta data to be indexed".
    (( as an aside, adobe does not comment upon why, when using Bridge to import images from a CF card, results in the building a .xmp file with nothing but meta data for each raw file.  I am at a loss to speculate what really useful thing results other than maybe speeding up the processing of the (IMHO useless) aspects of meta data ))
    To answer your quiestion, I do think the master cache is worth keeping - and we can pray that Adobe puts more though process into why the master cache exists and who uses the present type of information indexed within the cache.

  • Live! webcam - VERY dark image

    We have a new Creative Live! webcam. The picture generated by this camera is VERY VERY dark. We've tried using the driver from the CD and from the Creative website; different versions of the Webcam Center software; manually adjusting brightness, contrast, gamma, image size and frames per second. The image is still very dark. What can be done to correct this problem? We never had this issue with our old Creative PD0040?webcam. Image sample is at: HERE
    Message Edited by SimpleSimon on 01-30-2007 12:08 AM

    I have a similar situation:
    Case - In very low light conditions, with auto exposure ON: if I set FPS at 30, I actually get about 20 and a dark image as if auto exposure wasn't working
    Case 2 - In very low light conditions, with auto exposure ON: if I set FPS at 25 or less, I actually get about 5 but a very good image (auto exposure works dramatically well).
    Case 3 - In very low light conditions, with auto exposure OFF: effecti've FPS matches whatever I set it at, but I get a very dark image
    Case 4 - Now, in low to normal light conditions, regardless of auto exposure being ON or OFF, I can set FPS at 30, actually get 30 and a very good image (auto exposure works dramatically well).
    I'm curious why auto exposure seems to play such an important role on frame rate and image quality, under very low light. Is exposure adjustment done at the camera or by software? I'm running a 3 ghz processor with lots of headroom.

  • Sizing browser-fill images in Muse

    I'm new to Muse, so I have a question that probably has a simple solution. How do you know how to properly size a browser-fill background image? I want the image to be elastic and fill the entire screen, so I sized the image to the exact size of my designed homepage ( 960 x 600 ). But here's my problem, when I select the tiling option to "stretch to fill" the browser, the image naturally gets a bit blurry because the whole screen is larger than the presets for my site. Should I use only vector background images rather than photographs? Or should I size my images much larger than the presets of my website so they fill larger screens and remain crisp? How do I determine what that size is?
    Thanks!

    What you want to do is make the browser fill image pretty big. I usually make them atleast 2500x2000. 960x600 is just the content area of your website. The size of your actual website is whatever aspect ratio the user is viewing it on.
    An important note: If you use images of that size you have to make sure you optimize them properly for the web or there load times will be really slow.
    Hope that helps.
