Way to replace image names? HELP!!

Hi, I'm working on a series of keynote documents that need, for outside reasons, to have exact consecutive image numbers... right now they are kinda all over the place. Lets say an image is called Image_02, and I change the name of it to be Image_27 to match said outside need, is there a way to tell it to update the image to Image_27 in keynote?
In Indesign, the document will have a little icon saying it can't locate the image, and then you go through and tell it where the image is... can you do that in keynote? I have about 300+ images to do this with, and I can't imagine I will have to go through and manually replace all the images in keynote so the names are correct!!Help!!

Thanks for your help Mark!
You're right, yeah the QR code is a placed link, probably would be easiest to have the document open and relink and save out as a PDF 100 times. The files obviously need to have different names but they DO NOT need to relate to the file name of the QR code (codes/web addresses will be scanned manually by the client after printing for reference).
So now I just need help to figure out how to 'Relink' and 'Save As' 100 times. I've never used scripts before, is it something I can do myself or would I need to get someone to write it? Or can I just set up a regular or batch action?
Thanks again!

Easy way to replace images?

Hi, I am using Pages 09 for a document with some diagrams and different images that I have. I have sized them the way I want. My problem is that I have updated some of these images, changed some colors, text etc in the images, but they are the same size and the same filename. Is there any easy way to replace these old images with the new updated version? Is there some way to re-link them as you can in InDesign?
I tried to just copy an image from Finder, then selecting the old image and pasting, hoping that the size would be adjusted but it did not: the new image was huuuge.
Thanks!

As far as I remember, just replace the old files by the new ones in the document's file.
If it is a flat file, rename it
xxx.pages.zip
double clic to expand it
Now, in both original format you have now a package.
ctrl click its icin > Show Package Contents.
After that, you will see the picture files.
For safe, move the old ones in a folder.
Move the new ones in the package.
Close the package
Double click to open it.
It all worked fine you will see the new pictures.
Maybe one day I will write a script to automate the task.

Easy way to replace images in keynote without losing formating?

I have a keynote document that contains a large number of images which have been formated in various ways using the tools in keynote (resizing, masking, builds, etc.). When I noticed that the presentation was performing rather slows (locking up, delayed response, etc.), I took a closer look at the image files and discovered that they were 600 dpi. I changed the resolution of the files down to 72dpi in photoshop and replaced the original image with this new lower resolution version. The performance and that slide was greatly improved. However, I now have over 100 images that need the same treatment. I can pull the image file out of keynote fairly easily by dragging the file icon from the file info box of the the metrics tab of the inspector window into a finder folder. BUT, here is the question: is there a way to quickly and easily replace the original 600dpi images in keynote with the new ones that I have scaled down to 72 dpi in photoshop? As far as I can tell, I cannot simply drag the new image (or copy/paste) into the file info box of the metrics pane in the inspector window. Any suggestions???

If the scaling between the 600 DPI and 72 DPI versions of the images are different, then there likely isn't any way to do a bulk change. If, on the other hand, you just need to replace the images themselves, but the same effects are applied (e.g., same scaling, masking, etc.), then you may be able to batch replace them by tinkering with the presentation package. All Keynote presentation are actually "packages", collections of files that appear to the Finder as a single file. If you select the presentation icon while holding down the Control key, then choose "Show Package Contents" from the popup menu, you'll see the files inside the presentation. These files will include the original image files. If you name your 72 DPI files exactly the same as their 600 DPI versions, and replace the old versions with the newer, smaller versions, Keynote should use those new images exactly as it did the old ones.
If you have done a bunch of transformations on the images in Keynote, I'm a bit dubious that this will work, but it may be worth a shot.

Best way to replace image in an AI file 100 times?

Hi all!
This is driving me crazy...
So I have my A4 AI document with a QR code at the bottom (don't ask why I'm using QR codes, client work) and need to replace it and export the A4 poster as a PDF. I need to do this 100 times with 100 different QR codes and save 100 PDFs.
To summarise I need to,
Open A4 document (that has artwork already).
Drop in QR code A near the bottom.
Export as PDF A.
Repeat..
Open main document.
Drop in QR code B.
Export as PDF B.
And so on x100....
I have a experience with actions in Photoshop but not batch actions or scripts, and obviously need to run it in Illustrator...
Can anyone help?
Thank you!

Thanks for your help Mark!

Text replacing image! HELP!

So I am creating my first website, and I have gone through
those tutorials in order to get a good feeling for dreamweaver, I
am making a site that is mainly table based, and I want to put
images over a image, but everytime I do it it deletes the image, I
can't figure it out. Thanks for the help.
Shawn

You are selecting the image, and then you begin typing? Sure
- that would
delete the image.
Look - the best way to get text over an image is to put the
text IN THE
IMAGE. The second best way would be to make the image be the
background
image for a container and put the text in the container. But,
be aware that
this method, or any other method for superimposing the text
over the image
will all suffer from the same unpleasant downside. A single
resize of the
text display in the browser will trash your layout.
So - the bottom line is this: why are you trying to do this?
If it's to
have the website be a big graphic with text superimposed at
key locations,
then that's not a website. It's a badly flawed plan, and will
never be
satisfactory. Can you tell us if this is what you are trying
to do?

Why can't we replace images in photo stream?

Shared photo streams could be great, but it has a big downside because we cannot replace images in it. How many times haven't I uploaded images that I later wanted to edit? But the only way to replace an image is to delete it and upload a new one. It will appear at the end of the stream as a new project, and all comments will disappear.
Please give us a better way to replace images, that makes it possible to keep the original place in the photo stream, and keep the comments.

Change default image names

I'm not finding much regarding the new iOS with this question. We have the need to change the default photo name to date and time stamps on the iPhone 4S.. using the lates iOS... is this possible?
I'm not seeing any way to change image names at all on the phone.
Thanks.
Jill

Click on the image and then do Command+I (Get Information). Where it says 'Open with Preview', change it in the drop-down menu to 'Photoshop' and underneath than click on the button 'Change All'. All images of that type will now open in Photoshop.

Is there a way to list the 'names' of the IMAQ images in memory?

looking for a way to generate an array of strings that contains the 'names' of all the IMAQ images in memory. I'm doing some heavy image processing and the nature of the image processing functions makes it easier to work with multiple copies of images to avoid nasty surprises (like images declared one type being unexpectedly recast as another). Unfortunately, this means drawing dozens of wires everywhere to image disposal points, which does nothing but add clutter to the block diagram.
I'd like to be able to poll the images in memory and delete only those images which are no longer needed.
Thanks,
Root

Root,
You could use IMAQ GetImageInfo to get the name of an image. If your image references are stored in an array it would be easy to generate a list of image names using IMAQ GetImageInfo in a For Loop.
Hope this helps,

Is there a way to replace re-sized images?

I have several images (640 x 480) that I have placed into a PDF. When I use the Object TouchUp Tool, (right-click and choose "Place Image...") they come in WAY too big for the layout, so I scale them down to fit. Now, I need to replace those images with new ones (also 640 x 480).
1) Is there a way to replace the images, (Right-Click on the image to be replaced > "Place Image...") so that the new images are placed at the same dimensions (and hopefully position) as the scaled old images, instead of having them come in HUGE again and manually scaling them down and re-positioning them?
2) Or, at least, is there a preference dialog somewhere that I can define a specific dimensions for the images to be imported at, regardless of their resolution outside of acrobat.
I realize I could create smaller thumbnails and place those in the PDF instead. However, the person who will be responsible for replacing the images isn't very computer savvy, and it would take longer for them to save thumbnails then to just place the image directly into Acrobat and scale them down.

I want to AVOID scaling the new pictures (and in an ideal world, I'd also like to avoid re-positioning) manually. Example, I have a window sticker PDF for a silver car with 3 pictures in it, a front, rear, and interior. When initially placed into the PDF, the pics (640 x 480)for the car were too big for the layout, so I used the Object TouchUp Tool in Acrobat 8 Pro to scale them down to about 150 px wide and position them correctly. Now, we get a new car in. It's practically the same car, but blue. So, the most efficient way to create a new pdf window sticker for the blue car would be to save a copy of the silver PDF and then just replace the silver pics with blue ones.
Practically every other graphical Adobe program on the planet has a way to "replace" or "update" raster images. In my Acrobat 8 Pro travels, it doesn't seem there is a way to do this. I can "replace" (overwrite) the old silver pictures by selecting a pic with the Object TouchUp Tool, then right-click "Place Image..." This will stick the new blue photo in the same position as the old one. However, it still imports in at the giant 640x480 size, instead of the scaled-down 150 px wide size. So, I still need to manually scale the new blue photo down.
Also, I've tried every combination of SHIFT, ALT, CTRL clicking to try to scale the pic from its center. In other words, if I grab the lower-right handle of the pic, the anchor point for the scale is the upper-left corner of the pic... so scaling it like this throws the pic out of position anyway.
So, if anyone has a way to scale a pic from it's center, instead of the corners, please post it!! Even if I could get a dialog box requiring specific numeric dimensions... that would be preferable to having to re-size and manually nudge and smush the pics around to a rough eyeball location every time I need to make a new window sticker for a car (which is a lot)
Cheers!

Is there a quick & easy way to replace an image within an image frame?

Is there a quick and easy way to replace an image in an image frame that is already set up with the proper effects?
In my example, I have a photo grid and just need to replace the photos periodically. Everything is already in place in the grid. I don't want to recreate the grid on the page.
I thought that I could have clicked to get the brown frame for the image and placed a new one, but that didn't work. Or, I could have right clicked and found something like "replace image", but that didn't work.
How can I quickly and easily just click on the image I need to replace and replace it with another one?

There is an easy way to do this. Click on the image you would like to change and then change the fill to the new image. You will see the fill option in the upper left when you have the image you would like to change selected.

Any way to keep original file name as image name for web gallery?

Hi,
I wonder if there is any way to keep the original file name as image name for a web gallery (instead of "picture-1.jpg)
People often send us the thumbnails or the image from the web and we have to search forever to find the image in AP - if we could keep our original filename then this would be a second away.
Hope somebody has an idea
thanks

Hi William,
I finally had time to play - unfortunately it does
not work the way you described above.
I´m just exporting a set of images using the "Stock
Black" Theme - marked name only - batched the
filename to masterfile - but the actual picture names
are still "picture-1.jpg" - "picture-2.jpg".
did I miss anything? thanks
I see what you want, you don't care about the screen name so much but want the generated file names to be the same as the version names. From earlier messages though I am not quite sure why this is a problem, since you said other people were picking the images they wanted - say Image1 and 23 and 8. That to me says those people are going through the directory using Finder or Explorer, not using the HTML.
Is it the case you are giving people web galleries on CD? If so, then perhaps also export a "browse" directory with exported images using the version names, so that people can use the right name.
Or perhaps it's the case that people are downloading the images from the web, and then using the downloaded file names to send you requests. I'm not sure how to fix this yet and do not know if 1.1 offers something for this.

My iPhone 4S just replaced the names of my contacts in text messages and my favorites with only their phone numbers. Names are gone. The option to add new contacts also appears to be gone. I tried the *228 and it did not work. Help!

My iPhone 4S has replaced the names of my contacts in text messages and under my favorites- only their phone number shows. I updated today but this actually happened beforehand. I have tried restating the phone, and also *228. Neither have worked. Can someone help me??

Help needed; underscore in rollover image name will not validate at WC3

GoLive CS on an Intel PC
UTF8 encoded, HTML 4.01 Transitional
I have several rollovers in a page created by using the GoLive palletes, and because GoLive automatically adds an underscore to an image name in a nested folder the page cannot validate at the WC3 site. What do I need to do so that the underscore will not be added automatically? I've tried adding a name/ID to the image before creating the rollover, but it disregards the name and uses what it thinks is best, adding the underscore.
The page is located here:
http://www.redshift.com/~lorac/sdy-55.html
I have attached three images that show the file names used and the results in the GoLive pallete. The first is a screenshot of the folder structure, the second is the placed image pallete and the third is the rollover pallete view.GoLive is set to strip all the GoLive code from the page before uploading, so the web version will not have any GL code.
A sample WC3 comment is:
Line 86, Column 226: value of attribute "ID" invalid: "_" cannot start a name
…pg');return true" href="#"><img id="_5502" class="img_border" src="images/jhj
✉
It is possible that you violated the naming convention for this attribute. For example, id and name attributes must begin with a letter, not a digit.
Do I need to unnest any folders with potential rollover images? That would be a real pain... considering the amount sections and images used in the site.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give.
Carol

I did as you suggested and added to the beginning of the default underscored name in the "name/ID" section and it was accepted. I changed all the rollover image names and uploaded the modified page, and was then able to validate at the WC3 validation site.
Thank you so much! It was an easy fix... a solution I had overlooked. Oddly enough this never occurs with a remote rollover, but that is probably because GL lets you name the base image without suggesting a name first.

I want to add image name with the extension to db after upload, Can any body help?

Hello there,
Earlier in the week I created PHP photo/image upload form so clients will be able to upload to my site, it worked very well uploading image to designated directory to the C:/path/ but there is more that I would like to do with the form, and that is to write the image name with the extension, “Joplateau.jpg” for example in the database after upload. I wanted to use hiddenField but it's not working for me, may be i am not doing it right. If any one has an idea how to do this please let me know, and thanks in advance.
Thanks in a lot.
