Vectors turn into a series of images

I have been working on a series of drawings for a catalogue. I am using solidworks, creating a sheet, all line thicknesses are changed to 0.05mm and then exporting the sheet as .AI
Every drawing I create is saved using identical settings.
Out of say 10 only 3 of them are okay and can be edited as vectors. The rest seem to turn themselves into a series of images. (See attached Images)
I have had a look for solutions to this issue but I'm not quite sure what to search in hope of finding a solution.
Any ideas would be great
I'm using SW 2012 and Illustrator CS4

In this case I'd have a look at exporting your files anew, with different settings, and maybe see if decreasing their complexity (nested booleans? unexpanded effects?) helps.
When saving as .AI there is no setting options. I'll try decreasing the complexity and see if saving as .DXF is any better

Export movie clip into a series of png(images)

Hi Im using flash CS6 and I was wondering if it is possible to export a movie clip into a series of images, ie if there are 200 frames, convert the movie clip to 200 images...preferably png.
Thanks all!

We write blitting scripts(AIR) that essentially frame capture to create sequences or sprite sheets (RGBA32 png no problem)
the only downside is you need to author a definitive start -> end to define the number of frames you want.
if you nest a Bird flap with 5 frames clips inside a 6 frame hop then the clip will only loop perffectly if you author 30 frames...
if you want to make it exactly 6 frames without skipping you need to manually unify these motions
There is sprite packing software (such as texture packer) which will blit a swf [movieClip]; I author traditional 2D vFX in flash, add some blur/glow and other tween FX such as advanced color/alpha changes. (make sure the timelines are unified) Bring the swf to Texturepacker and the thing blits out the sprite sheet wonderfully with all the movieClip filter FX.
works great,
too bad the native flash software can't do this. in order to do it in flash you have to use graphic symbols. therefore the timelines must show you the animation and what you see is what you get. And since they have to be graphics you don't get any movieclip filters blur/glow . dissapointing

Saving a series of images (from a smart camera) into an AVI file

Hello,
I have a lab setup in which we view brain cell deflections in a well-plate after being pressurized with air for 50ms. I have a smart camera hooked up to an IMAQ PCI card to acquire images.
I'm trying to save the series of images into an avi file, so that I can view the deflections in a slow video.
The way I have it set up at the moment takes an image and saves it in an avi pre-existing (some random .avi that I didn't need) format. But here are some problems:
1. I would like for the VI to create a NEW .avi, rather than saving it into a pre-existing one.
2. Right now, each image simply overwrites the previous one in the avi file. So the resulting avi is a 00:00 length movie with a single image (the last frame that camera viewed).
I have what I have programmed attached. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Here is an updated version (attached). I kept trying to incorporate the examples you showed me, and I have made a little bit of a progress.
It now saves a new avi file, and it's not a single image movie anymore. It's got as many images as I run the VI for. BUT, it only saves the very first image the camera takes and just loops it over and over again until I press stop. So the resulting avi shows a still image of the very first view of the camera for however long I ran the VI for.
Any suggestions on how I can fix this?
Thank you,
B.J.

Why do image links in my HTML signature get turned into inline images?

I have written a program to create HTML signature files for email programs at my workplace.
The signature file uses URLs to images hosted on a server. This appears to work fine, but I've noticed that when I send an email from Icedove (Thunderbird rebadged for Debian), the image links automatically get turned into attachments. These are then visible as base64-encoded MIME blocks in the email source.
I cannot find any option for altering this behaviour anywhere in the application, even in the Config Editor.
Can anybody advise me how to change this behaviour? Thanks in advance.
I am running Icedove v.17 for Debian 64 bit.

By default Thunderbird attaches all images, even if the <img> element points to a remote resource. Most e-mail clients block remote content these days unless the user authorizes it (see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/991448 this thread] for an in-depth discussion) due to potential privacy/tracking issues. Thus, the image your are adding as a remote resource may not display the first time the recipient opens the message.
If you want to change your code respectively anyway, have a look at [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_complex_mails_with_inline_images#Remote_images this article]. You'll have to add an attribute <img '''moz-do-not-send="true"'''> to the element which will Tell Thunderbird to ''not'' download the image from the server and embedding it into the message on sending.

When I duplicate or copy slides, my custom theme images turn into question marks. Why, and how can I copy themes with slides?

When I duplicate or copy slides, my custom theme images turn into big grey boxes with an 'x' through them and a question mark in the middle in their new destination. When I go look at the master slides, I see that there are now two sets of masters, one for the my custom theme and a new one just like it, but with no images.
How can I copy (or duplicate) my slides?

OK, got it ... the Power ON Factory reset procedures might have changed with GB ...
To get to a Factory reset using the Power up method:
1. Power Off phone
2. Press & Hold the HOME Button
3. Press and Hold the Power ON button.
You come up to the Triangle with the Exclamation mark & android guy.
Press BOTH the Up and Down Buttons at the same time. This brings up the Blue menu of options.
use the Up/Down arrows to scroll thru the choices. Press the POWER Button to Select the menu item you choose.
You can harmlessly test this and just choose to Reboot without doing anything, just to see how it works in case you ever need to do this in the future.
edit: It was concluded in the test group that they changed this process to align it with the new DX2 as the camera button isn't hard-wired like it is in the DX. So likely they just wanted to make this process the same for both platforms. At least it sounds like a good reason...

Why do the file extensions (.jpg .gif .png) no longer appear when I click on a previously saved image to use that image's file name (particularly important when saving a series of images using the same root name)?

I save a lot of images using firefox, often times from a large batch or series of images. It used to be that I would click on a previously saved image and the entire file name including the file extension (i.e. image_example.jpg) would appear in the "save as" line. Now when I click on a previously saved file, the file name appears without the file extension (i.e. image_example). Which means I have to manually type .jpg every time. For a large collection of images that I am hoping to use the same root file name and then add chronological numbers at the end, this has become incredibly frustrating, especially as it is a previously unnecessary task.
I am using a new Macbook Pro and maybe there's something Apple related to this...? It did not happen on my old PowerBook G4. I have file extensions turned on in System Preferences.
It should be noted that I have searched high and low and have even gone into the Apple Genius Bar where they were just confused as I was and of course ended by urging me to use Safari (shocker!) as it has all kinds of new extensions and bells and whistles. I seriously feel alone on an island with this dumb, hard to google problem. Thanks so much for any help anyone out there might have.
I mean: is this as simple as changing a setting in about:config?
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your response Mylenium, however like I mentioned multiple times, I did change all of my trackpad/scrolling settings in system preferences. And if I wanted to use a normal mouse (or a tablet), I would've gotten an iMac instead of a MacBook Pro. I travel often and work all over the place, not always with access to a decently sized workspace that would be required for using a mouse or tablet.

Raw Files turn into 175kb preview files.

I have download my RAW files from my Canon 1DS into Photoshop CS2 using a Lexar card reader.
They download as a full RAW file but when I go to open them in bridge the turn into a 175 kb preview file! The strange thing is I download 5 gbs from 5 different cards but not all of them did it. I found that if I download the images several times they would eventually download as full RAW files. I am using a G5 MAC with loads of memory and processing capacity. Is it the problem that the cards are corrupting, the card reader is faulty, CS2 is somehow corrupt (it is a fully registered copy) or that bridge has some weird glich in it. This problem has only just started as I have been this software for some months now.
Cheers Brent.

Leopard? You aren't doing a command/copy (move) are you? There have been reports that "moves" in Leopard is broken...
Otherwise, try another card reader or cable. This isn't something Bridge would be doing to your files...

How can i export a series of images in different aspect ratios to the same height

How can i export a series of images in different aspect ratios to the same height?
I wish to make a slider callery for my website. all the images need to be 750 Pixels high, the width does not matter. I have a mixture of square pandscap and protraite images can i do thing as one export or do i have to do it twice? Once for long edge and once for shot edge?
Thanks

Yes, you can but there is a trick to it.
In the Export Dialog under <Image Sizing> select Widdth & Height.
Then enter 750 pixels for Height.
Put your cursor into the Width field behind all the numbers that appear there and with the backspace key delete the numbers. If you enter "0" it will not accept that. But it accepts when you just delete the field for Width with the backspace key. The Width field will now be just blank.
When you then export all image will have a height of 750 pixels and the width will fall variously according to thne height / width ratio.
Or alternatively you can enter 7.5" for height at a resolution of 100 ppi.

I've been sent a scan of a document as an attachment. Clicking on it, I get the message, "Pixel aspect ration correction is for preview purposes only. Turn it off for maximum image quality." What is pixel aspect ration and how do I turn it off?

I've been sent a scan of a document as an attachment. Clicking on it, I get the message, "Pixel aspect ration correction is for preview purposes only. Turn it off for maximum image quality." What is pixel aspect ration and how do I turn it off?

It's "aspect ratio", not aspect "ration".
It's what determines whether you have square pixels ("normal") or, if rectangular pixels, what the aspect ratio (width : length) of that rectangle is.
It's explained in the Help files. I cannot go into more detail because you have neglected to provide information about your platform and exact version of Photoshop.

Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example signatures tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example: signatures at the bottom of the mail tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

It worked for me. I took a picture with the iPhone's camera. Then opened the Photos app and selected the picture, and emailed it from one of my IMAP accounts to my gmail (also IMAP) account. When it showed up in the gmail inbox (on my iPhone), I forwarded it to my yahoo mail account (choosing the "inlcude attachments" option). When that showed up on my iPhone's yahoo inbox, the picture was there just as it should be.
So I guess the next thing would be to try it with non-iPhone pictures to see if it is a problem with image size or something. I have some 6-megapixel images in iPhoto I can try (taken as RAW/DEC format pictures with my dSLR).
Just tried it sending a Photo from my computer's iPhoto library - picture is 728KB, 2272x1704 jpeg. I emailed it to my gmail account, and it showed up on the iPhone just fine. Then I forwarded that to my yahoo account and again, it showed up just fine on both the iPhone and reading my yahoo mail via the web page.
Don't know what to say - I don't mean this to be just another "works for me" post. I was hoping to see something maybe depending on the size and origin of the picture.
By the way, my 3GS shipped with 3.0.1 on it, and I've updated it via iTunes normally to 3.1.1 and currently 3.1.2. Sorry I don't have anything constructive to add.

Re-named NEF & jpg files in CS4 Bridge & they turned into "exec" files!?!? SOS

SOS!!! I just re-named NEF & jpg files in CS4 Bridge & they turned into "exec" files (& the WEDDING GIG images disappeared!) HELP PLEASE, anyone who knows the solution. I'm desperate.

God bless you!…I tried it with the 1st 2 files, which were NEFs & it worked. BUT I started with Raw & then shot mostly jpg…cannot "see" anything & am clueless as to which are which / any other ideas?

Why do all my JPEGs turn into PDFs? I can't do anything!

The craziest thing keeps happening in Elements 10. Every JPG file I open seems to turn into a PDF file so I can's resize or print! I'm used to Photoshop 5.0 and Elements is new to me.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Are you using Image à Resize à Image Size
If so make sure the resample and constrain boxes are checked.

Psd turn into JPEG prewiews after save for web. Help!

save for web>save>save optimised as>save>close. That gives me a jpeg (the previous was a psd), but in the form of a preview thumbnail, top right corner bent, loupe and "JPEG" on it. I did about 20 psd just fine,ending in the folder as jpg images, keeping their previous names and the new "jpeg" underneath. What happened?
Not less odd, as I was shrinking the folder window, (bring in the bottom right corner, but this is probably not related), all the previous ones (the jpeg images) turned into preview icons, too. By moving the cover flow, they turned back into images, and by moving them again, they turned back into jpeg
icons, this time, not with the loupe and the photos, but with 3 geometrical shapes on them. If I bring them back into Ps CS3 and save for web again, and then close, I get a "save changes to the jpeg document?" question,>save, which gives me a regular save as window, and they stay images, and I could end the problem like that, but that might cancel the previous save for web. Help! goodnight now.

I guess I have been sending all along (my almost 2 years of photoshop) inflated pictures of images (which however I take the care of reducing to 1000
pixels from the original 4000 something that they originally are). What's odd for you guys, and normal for me, is that the computer went back to turning
out "normal" .jpg images, in small characters, like it has been doing all along, as if it went on a freaky spree yesterday, and I will probably go along with it, just because i don't know how to provoke deliberatly the JPEG with the loupes which appeared breafly yesterday, and that I am supposed to expect.
I don't have any third party add on (do you mean plug in?) Only GF, sitting there, unused for a year.
Of course now i am intrigued: Marion: what do you mean by :"this may be affected by normal Finder settings" ? Any settings that i can control to get those JPEG with loupes that I should expect all the time?
Thanks everybody, i'll just leave the thread open for a bit in case somebody wants to shed some more light on my state of confusion.
