Viewing images this way...

Hi.
I want to put thumbnail images on my site and when you click
on them, they don't open in a new window, but there is that
sun-like indicator that shows it is loading, and it opens a pop up
of the entire image while making the actual website dimmer, and
then a caption and option to close the window below along the white
border, although you can also just click on the dim website and
it'll close on its own.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Here's an example:

  • How to reveal image this way?

    I have image and the object in it is one colored. It is transparent elsewhere. I want that the whole image is transparent in the start, and then it starts to reveal from one corner. This is similar what I want: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8aVd6b2pGw
    I mean how that text reveals. I know that tutorial and I can't do it like that because it doesnt look good. I need that the picture reveals to every direction with same speed.

    > "I know that tutorial and I can't do it like that because it doesnt look good. I need that the picture reveals to every direction with same speed."
    So I know how to make text reveal like that with mask+stroke.
    I need to know how to reveal this kind of image:

    I can't explain better, but think that you drop ink into one corner of "mold" shaped like that and how it spreads. <

  • Is there a way to view image numbers in iPad photos, either of images taken with the iPad or of images copied into Photo (or camera roll) on the iPad?

    Is there a way to view image numbers (metadata) on the iPad Photo app, distinguishing those taken with the internal camera from those downloaded from external camera or copied from an email?

    sberman: My iMac is running iTunes 11.0.2 already. As well, the Photos tab in the iTunes window shows that "Sync Photos from" is un-checked. And in the box to the right of it is the greyed-out empty folder that I previously synced to in order to remove photos from the Camera Roll.
    Ralph9430: I did a reset (Home + Sleep) earlier when I was trying everything I could think of. I have also re-synced a couple of times. No luck.
    Thanks anyway. I was hoping someone out there would tell me they've experienced the same problems (non-functioning DELETE button, and persistent data in Photo Library), even if they haven't found a solution. Then I could assume it's a iOS 6 bug. All I can think of to do next is a full iPad restore.

  • Is there a way to view images in your cache?

  • I have multiple iPhoto libraries and when I selecting which library to view (hold down 'option' key and launch iPhoto from the dock) it automatically closes another open apps window eg. Chome, Word. 1 app closes every time I launch iPhoto this way.

    I have multiple iPhoto libraries on my Macbook Air 10.7.5 and when I am selecting which library to view (hold down 'option' key and launch iPhoto from the dock) it automatically closes another open application window eg. Chome, Word. 1 app closes every time I launch iPhoto this way.

    If you're pushing Option at the exact moment you're clicking the Dock icon, it's supposed to do that. Wait until just after clicking it.

  • Powerpoint Mac 11.3.2 version converting to Google Docs Presentation, I'm told I need Quicktime and a compressor to view images. What does this mean?

    Were you using third-party software when the panic occurred? Is the panic repetitive or it just happened once? IN the latter case it could simply be a software glitch. But if it's repetitive then there's some other problem either hardware or software. Use the Console application in the Utilities folder and review the console log around the time of the panic to see if there are additional clues to the cause of the panic.
    The error indicates that the problem was a failure to respond to an interrupt by the CPU. Now this could simply be caused by a software glitch, but it could be a hardware problem related to the CPU. In the latter case the panic would probably become repetitive, in which case you would want to take the computer in for service to be sure the CPU isn't failing.

  • When using private browsing to view image results in Safari 5.1.3, only the first two rows of results are visible, the following four or so rows display greyed out place holders, and the safe search button is inoperable. Suggestions?

    When using private browsing to view image results in Safari 5.1.3, only the first two rows of results are visible, the following four or so rows display greyed out place holders, the remainder of the results page is blank, and the safe search button is inoperable. When I turn off private browsing and refresh the page, everything works again.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    I have got the same behaviour after the last Safari Update to 5.1.3. It seems that Safari now handles some scripts in a new way. If you debug the Google Website, you will see, that there is some Javascript Error, that seems to prevent to write into local cache. After some searching I wasn't able to finde a solution for this problem, other then disabling Javascript while private browsing to prevent the script loading. You then are able to use Google with the old layout. The option to disable JavaScript can be found in the Menu "Developer", wich has to be enabled in Safari in the options first.
    In my opinion this is a bug that is now occuring, because Apple changed something in private browsing and that has to be fixed by Google now, to run again. Or we will have to wait for 5.1.4, as you can read online Apple will change and bugfix the javascript engine in that version, perhaps this fixes the problem as well. I hope so!
    If anyone is in the developer program perhaps you could test this with the beta of 5.1.4 and tell us if it works.

  • How to view images from Pictures Folder using iPhoto?

    Right now when I click an image in the Pictures folder, the image is automatically opened using Preview. I want to view images directly from my Pictures folder, and have them open to iPhoto. Is that possible?
    I just want to be able to view/sort my photos by Folders rather than by Events, Titles or Photo dates. I can't seem to get them to sort by folders in iPhoto.

    Iphoto is a Photo Database designed to allow you to organise and manipulate you photos without recourse to your files.
    It's not an image viewer, it can only work with photos that have been imported to the database.
    I just want to be able to view/sort my photos by Folders rather than by Events,
    An Event is a folder of images with a fancy icon. You can organize your pics in iPhoto anyway you want, using Albums, folders, keywords and so on. It's far more flexible that using folders in the Finder.
    You can opt to organise the files yourself, rather than have iPhoto do it for you, but I don't recommend it.
    Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
    Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
    However, you need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
    1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
    2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
    3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
    Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
    If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    If you're concerned about accessing the files, There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • Viewing Images in PDF.....

    Dear All,
    Sometimes I can't view images in PDF that I created in Illustrator by making PS and PDF. But it get viewing when am selecting "OVERPRINT PREVIEW" in Advanced Tab in Adobe Acrobat.
    can anyone explain what is the reason? and what settings that I have to check in PS and PDF settings.
    If its not clear, let me know.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards
    Sa2398

    The reason why is that there is a element on top of your image that is defigned in overprint.
    So the only way to preview this right in Acrobat is with overprint preview on.
    I dont think there is a problem with your file.

  • Screen Anomalies & Artifacts While Viewing Images (java?)

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [[/questions/867139]]</blockquote>
    While viewing images specifically, those used in a java based hover popup, I see an outlined box covering a large portion of the screen. The hover works like this - mouse-over icon expands view. Click-on opens larger image in new window. It's when returning from that window, there is now a large outlined box starting from the corner of the icon and covers one-third of the screen. Choose another image and that outline moves to that image.

    Today, after a year of trying to get rid of thei problem, an Aperture "Craetive" at the Apple store found a way to correct it after contemplating it for about 15 seconds.
    Here is the remedy:
    To get rid of it, select image(s), go to Photo in the menu bar, hold down Option key, click on Generate Preview in the drop down menu. Wait for it to finish processing - a few seconds. Done.

    In order to achieve this, you will need a custom skin (you can modify the original file, but I would not suggest to do this!).
    The controlling file for the GUI rendering with regards to the title view is in the msgdb. It's the /messages/standardviewtemplates.xml. Again: please follow the process to create a custom skin and put the modified standardviewtemplates.xml there.

    Basically you switch around the order of Logo -> Title -> Help to Title -> Help -> Logo. This way you know what happens in the doce above and make it Title -> Logo -> Help if you want.
    These changes are application-wide wherever the custom skin is used (or just applciation-wide full stop if you modify the original file).

    I have embedded a YouTube video into my online portfolio and also integrated an image viewer, the You Tube video works great though when viewing an image the embedded video can be seen though the image also the image viewer has control images to move from one image to the next and a close button their operations work fine though they are not appearing online but appear fine in Dreamweaver, I have uploaded the whole site, all images and coded files 3 times over the past two days, please help me its driving me insane.

    Thank you

    Unfortunately you are somewhat at the mercy of the Youtube iframe and the Flash video player in it.
    Do this as a test.
    Open your page in IE (FF is not a problem) and "disable" the Flash player.
    In main IE browser menu...Tools/Manage Add-ons/Shockwave Flash Object.... "Disable".
    Then test your page... images work just fine.
    The problem is not your "container" code... but it's Flash content.
    Most like it has to do with the wmode used for the Flash player... from an old article (there are now more wmodes):
    Window Mode (wmode) - What's It For?There are three window modes.
    Window
    Opaque
    Transparent
    By default, the Flash Player gets its own hWnd in Windows. This means that the Flash movie actually exists in a display instance within Windows that lives above the core browser display window. So though it appears to be in the browser window, technically, it isn't. It is most efficient for Flash to draw this way and this is the fastest, most efficient rendering mode. However, it is drawing independently of the browser's HTML rendering surface. This is why this default mode (which is equivalent to wmode="window") doesn't allow proper compositing with DHTML layers. This is why your JavaScripted drop-down menus will drop behind your Flash movie.
    In windowless modes (like opaque), Flash Player doesn't have a hWnd. This means that the browser tells the Flash Player when and where to draw onto the browser's own rendering surface. The Flash movie is no longer being rendered on a higher level if you will. It's right there in the page with the rest of the page elements. The Flash buffer is simply drawn into whatever rectangle the browser says, with any Flash stage space not occupied by objects receiving the movie's background color.
    Since you can't really change YouTube's iframe page, you may need to see if you could embed the video in a player where you can set the wmode yourself as one of the vid player params, move the video out of the way, or use javascript to "hide" the video player whenever an image is clicked.
    Javascript hide/show... for example:

    plus tons of other examples on line.

  • IPhoto Viewer Image Quality

    Working in iPhoto, I have uploaded all of my holiday pics to edit before making a photobook.
    Using the Adjust features I have been sharpening them up and setting the color balance, etc; however when I export the image as a JPG (using best quality settings) the image comes out a lot more crisp than shown in iPhoto. You can see this from the attached image where the left is the exported image shown in Preview, and the right is the exact same image displayed in the iPhoto viewer...
    Don't get me wrong, i'd prefer it to be this way than the opposite, but now I'm aware of it it's really straining my eyes as I'm going through my pics in iPhoto (I keep wanting to clean my glasses!), and I'm worried that I'm going to over-sharpen pics.
    Does anyone know why iPhoto shows a seemingly lower-quality image in the viewer, and whether this can be changed in a setting?
    Many thanks in advance!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you cropping your photos to the 16:9 ratio before creating the widescreen slideshow in iPhoto and exporting them to iDVD for a widescreen project? Most digital camera images are in the 4:3 size ratio and don't convert well to the widescreen. Also check the aspect ratio that you're playing the dvd in as that can have an effect on how the slideshow looks.
    Also remember that the images going to iDVD will be reduced to 640 x 480 (normal TV) and slightly larger for the widescreen version. So the pixel dimensions of the original image are not that relevant.
    Happy Holidays
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
