What to be careful about when placing a picture on a two page spread for a yearbook

Hi,
I am designing pages for a yearbook and I plan o using a double page spread with a single image. People's faces will be on the picture and I was cruious if the faces would be cropped or not visible due to multiple page of the yearbook so when it opened pages would not be flat so invisible. What should I do to avoid such problems when desinging?

Any time you have an image crossing the spine you have a possibility of part of that image getting lost in the binding.
Can you show us some samples of waht you are talking about?

How do I set up my InDesign file for a Perfet Bound 80 Page book when i have images overlapping a two page spread

I am looking to create a photo book that is going to be perfect bound. How do I set up the pages in InDesign so that the images that span two pages line up correctly?

Are you printing this yourself, on a network copier for example? If it's going to be printed on an offset press, it will have to be imposed by prepress techs, and it's their job to make sure that the pages are aligned correctly. There will be some part of a cross-spread image that will be lost in the spine, and their imposition method will take into account whether pages need to be moved outward from the spine by small amounts (called creep) to compensate for the wrap-around that is a part of bindery, but perfect binding isn't as bad as saddle stitch as far as that goes. Talk to your printer, but you will likely just need to compose the book in normal facing-page readers spreads and provide a multi-page PDF (not exported as spreads). They will impose the pages into printers spreads, and thank you for not doing that yourself. There will be aspects of their production that you won't or can't know about, and if you impose it, it will just make it harder for them if they have to undo what you have done incorrectly.

[CS5.5][Os X 10.7] Problem searching for file when placing a picture

Hi,
With this post, I would like to ask a question.
In Indesign CS5.5 on Mac Os X, when placing a picture using the place option, there is in the top right corner a search field. When browsing to a certain network folder and trying to search for files whitin that folder, which have filenames containing a part of the search string, no files are found.
For example: a folder containing 200 files with names starting with "sports baseball 001" up to "sports baseball 200". When searching for "baseball" no results are found.
What I could find on the internet, are several discussions relating to huge problems with Spotlight on 10.7 and 10.8 and network drives.
Does anyone know of any fix or plugin for Adobe Indesign that allows fast file search in a folder when placing a picture in a document?
Whe have this issue with all our mac's running these versions of Os X and Adobe Indesign.
Any feedback would be helpfull.
John

Good to hear that Adobe engineering is taking a look. However you might want to file a formal bug/feature report here: Wishform, to get it on record as a customer/user problem, and to perhaps attract additional requests from others who have the same problem.
I'm not sure if the commercial Mac application Default Folder X would fix the problem. You might want to test their trial.

I have Office 2011 which includes Word. Ever since downloading Mavericks, when I try to send a two-page word document, some recipients get only one page. Also sometimes when I burn an image from iPhoto on to a disc, only part of the image appears. Why?

I have Office 2011 which includes Word. Ever since downloading Mavericks, when I try to send a two-page Word document by email, some recipients get only one page. Also when burning an image from iPhoto (usually no larger than 1mb) on to a disc, only part of it appears. It appears to have been magnified so that only a part of the image appears. Can anyone enlighten me as to what is happening? And how to fix it??

So I preordered a album on iTunes and it was priced at 9.99 and when I preordered it bought the two available songs for down load in that album do I still need to pay the 9.99 or will I pay less since it bought the two song when I preordered

So I preordered a album on iTunes and it was priced at 9.99 and when I preordered it bought the two available songs for down load in that album do I still need to pay the 9.99 or will I pay less since it bought the two song when I preordered

If the two tracks have been released early then you will only be charged for the remainder when the actual album is released i.e. $9.99 minus the cost of those two tracks.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5714 :
Some pre-orders include songs that are available for download immediately. When you pre-order, you will be charged only for these songs and you will receive them immediately.

What is the best way to do a double page spread for a magazine?

I'm in the process of putting together a magazine and would like to do some double-page spreads in it, but my printer has requested that the magazine be sent to him as single pages. If I set it up as 'facing pages' and then change it to single pages when I've finished, will this upset my double page layouts??

Set it up as facing pages, then when you make the pdf DO NOT CLICK SPREADS.
When you click Spreads you are asking InDesign to produce a PDF where page 2-3 are joined, and 3-4 are joined etc.
When you don't have Spreads selected then Indesign produces Single Page pdf.
A single page is what is required by a printers with the pages running in reading order from page 1 - finish (for example).
Do not attempt to impose the document yourself.
Remember to include your crop marks and your bleed.
Sidenote on crop marks and bleed:
Crop marks are needed to trim the page to size when printed. As printers can't print right to edge of a sheet, and that it's near impossible to trim a sheet of paper right to the edge of a colour - the colour needs to extend past the crop line, this is called bleed.
When you bleed the document, i.e., extend any item that is tucked right against the foredge (the edges opposite the spine), then you need to extend this object off the page into a "bleed" area.
This allows for human error when trimming the paper, as each sheet is not trimmed individually (that would take forever!) they are stacked on top of each other and trimmed in stacks. It would be impossible to stack all the sheets exactly even, and there is movement on the press, so compensating for the movement and the fact they can never be stacked exactly even - for this reason you need objects to extend past the edge of the page.
The crop marks tell the guillotine operator where to trim the sheet. Once they have the measurements in their guillotine machine it's a simple matter of rinse and repeat with as many stacks of paper there are.
And printers can sometimes fold and trim a print job folding machine, and since it's a machine and you have to account for mechanical errors and human error, you need bleed too.
Bleed is important - If you don't add bleed then the object stops at the foredge of the paper. And if the blade trims/crops close to the object but misses by a sliver - then you have a sliver of white on the printed piece, which is highly undesirable.
So you need crop marks so the printers know where exactly to cut the paper, and to cut into the bleed so that you don't have slivers of white.
And yes you need crop marks even if you don't have bleed, if you don't have any bleed it's likely that the edges of the paper are just white, so there are no markings where to cut to give the correct size that you want. So crop marks need to be included no matter what.
And the placement of crop marks is important. As I said earlier, crop marks are for letting the guillotine operator know where to trim the page so that it cuts into the bleed area. The bleed area to allow for mechanical, physical and human error. And seen as the bleed can sometimes be included in a final printed piece it is not desirable to have anything other than bleed objects in the bleed area.
For this reason you offset your crop marks to be outside the bleed area. As I'm in Europe I work mainly in millimeters, so I would set my Bleed Area to be 3-5 mm (check with your printers for what bleed you should allow) and I would set my crop marks to Offset by 1 mm more than the Bleed (i.e., 4 - 6mm).
This ensures that the crop marks do not encroach the bleed area. If your crop marks do encroach the bleed area you run the risk of the crop marks appearing on a final printed piece.
So in Summary
Make sure you have bleed where necessary on your document.
Add the desired amount of bleed - in my case 3-5 mm.
Offset the crop marks so they don't encroach the bleed area - in my case 4-6mm.
(bleed depends on the printers requirements - then make sure you offset your crop marks to be outside the bleed area).

When i open firefox it opens two pages . I have tried the advice given in troubleshooting but it does not fix this issues

when I open firefox browser on my intel mac it opens two pages ( i.e. my bt yahoo logon page which is not listed in preferences and the page I designated in firefox preferences ) . I have tried the steps suggested for fixing this issue in your troubleshooting guide but it has made no difference . I have the follwing extensions installed :- adblock plus , no script , better privacy , taco 3.0 and wot .What should I do now ?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== last few months

I had the same problem and it was because of my firewall settings, which I had set to block all activity and forgot to reset it.

What's it all about when you sort it out, alfie?

find file (apple f) now has loads & loads of new search criteria -- but still can only SORT these new search results by the same old same old "date modified" "date created," &c.
what good is that?
does anyone know of an app or a workaround that can, for instance: SORT "last opened" by WHEN it was last opened?
date last opened? time last opened?
date modified does not seem to find files i KNOW i've opened & altered. maybe this is my problem? i don't understand what constitutes "modified" anymore?
my impression is that -- in the pre-OSX universe -- this was way easier, yes?

AFAIK, the only way to get Finder's Find (CMD+F) to do what you want is to change the view to as list (click on the middle view button or select View->as list from the menu bar), then click on the Date Modified column. You can also create your own smart folder to this stuff or use it as a template to change the defaults that Finder uses.

What can I do about an iMovie app I downloaded that has been "loading" for over 30mon now?

Hi all. I'm new to Apple and don't know what to do. I downloaded apples free iMovie app onto my iPhone 5c wig iOS 7.04. Even though that was over 30min ago now, the desktop icon for the app still says that it's "loading". What can I do to delete it? When I click on the loading icon it just pauses it. Thanks for any help out there in appleland!

See if you can download it as a previous purchase in iTunes on your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519), then sync it to your phone.

when I open igoogle or any other website, a mini blank page (about a third of the full screen) appears for a sec then the full page complete with info appears. The blank page displays only mozilla firefox, the next full size shows the complete web site, e.g. google, yahoo, hotmail, etc. The lap top does not do this only the desk computer. This has only started recently. We did up grade our dsl speed but they ATT has assured us that the problem rests with the browser.

When "placing" a picture from Photoshop CS3

When I "place" a picture from Adobe Photoshop in a document in InDesign CS5 it's blurry. The photo is not blurry in Photoshop. Why would this be happening? Appreciate any help! I've also tried placing the same photo in InDesign CS2 and it's blurry. Does the Photoshop version (CS3) have to be the same as the InDesign version (CS5)?? Thanks!

Thank you! Something very simple and I could not figure it out!

System freezes when placing still pictures on the timeline.

I'm using CS4 on a windows sys
tem. When I place a pic
ture on the timeline it locks up my system
. I get the spinning blue circle
. Working with video does not cause
a problem. Please help.

I have seen (do a forum search) the advice that a picture should be no more than 1000x750 but that is for performance, not program locking
Is this a picture direct from a camera?
I have also read that some cameras put "metadata" inside the picture that will confuse Premiere

What do I need to worry about when running a VI for an extended amount of time?

Hi, I'm fairly new to LabVIEW as a program, but not new to programming as a whole.
I'm attempting to build a VI which will, hopefully, be run continuously and take data for weeks-months at a time.
I've never built a VI, let alone a program, which will be run continuously for so long, and so I'm unsure as to what I should be concerned about. I'm looking right now at optimizing, as best I can, memory allocation, algorithms, etc. but I suppose my main question is: What should I really be worrying about when programming a VI which will be run continuously for an extended period of time?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

In the structure of your VI's, be certain that you are not repetively creating things such as references to queues, or file references, or DAQ tasks, or anything without closing them. I was working on one application where a DAQ task was getting created every loop iteration and not being closed. It crashed the PC hard with a blue screen of death after about 20 minutes of operation, through debugging and before I found the cause, I saw I had about 80,000 to 100,000 iterations of a loop fairly consistently before the crash.
If this loop had run at a slower rate, it might have taken days or weeks before the PC would have crashed. It would have seemed infrequent and would have taken longer to debug because I would never have seent the pattern. If it takes a few failures before you discover the problem, it is a lot quicker to find the explanation after a few failures at 20 minutes per failure as opposed to 20 days per failure. The problem was eventually found in a subVI several layers down and fixed.
So if you pay attention to these things early enough, then hopefully they won't pop up and bite you weeks or months into a critical run of the program.

I got a notice saying either "Time Capsule is failing," or "Time Capsule Disks are failing". What does this mean? And what can I do about it?

What does it mean when one gets a message that Time Capsule or its disks are failing?
What can be done about it, if it's a reparable situation?

Thanks for the info.
I will look into buying a large external hard drive as an option. But given that I can't seem to back up anyway, is there another option other buying another Time Capsule? Do any of the external hard drives have embedded intelligence that allows them to work off my other router.
This is the log file from my TC's last attempt at backing up:
