Why does DW change my image's proportions?

EVERY image I bring onto my Dreamweaver CS4 pages comes in out of proportion unless I use it as a background image inside a div.
When I try to resize it, it springs back to the same wrong proportions. When I go into the html and enter the actual pixel dimensions into the code, it STILL remains out-of-proportion.
I'm not sure if this is a bug, or what could be causing this, but I need to solve this, so any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your response. The code to the div is below, plus attached is an image of the out-of-proportion image of the map inside it.
CSS:
#map{position:absolute; top: 394px; left: 494px; width: 336px; height: 180px}
HTML:
<div id="map"><img src="images/map.jpg" width="336" height="180" /></div>

  • Why does iChatAV3 change folders name sent to 2nd computer?

    Why does iChatAV3 change the actual folder's name (removes certain punctuation marks like forward slashes "/ " and replaces them with dashes "-" ) of attachments sent to 2nd computer on the same local network? The way I send a folder to the second computer via ichat on my own local network is to simply drag and drop the folder to the name on the Buddy list and hit send. Then i accept the folder on the target computer.
    I just sent a folder of 24 jpeg images to my second Powermac via ichatav3. (I have four macs on this particular network). The title of the folder was "Photos / 2000" but ichat changes the forward slash to a dash on the folder's name ...... and then drops the two and first zero ...... why? When received on the 2nd computer it reads the adjusted file name as" Photos -00" Not at all what I wanted to name this folder.
    In addition, Photoshop 7 (which is loaded to both systems) has issues seeing and opening the new files and folders until i retitle them per the original folder.
    I suspect the solution is not to use forward slashes at all when naming a folder of jpeg images.
    But why does ichatav3 also drop numbers from the title of these folders or attachments? Might it be that the newly generated file name already exists on the HD of the receiving system and hence will not save it under an identical name or title?
    If this is the case, shouldn't there also be a dialog box or warning that pops up saying i already have such a file on my current HD or at the very least a warning not to use punctuation marks on folders or attachments?
    Helpful suggestions in sending perfectly "intact" folders, files, and attachments via iChatav would be sincerely appreciated.

    HI SDMacuser,
    So far I have not sent a folder in the way you describe.
    I can not offer any assistance on this.
    I will test with EZ Jim when he is next around.
    Anyone else with any suggestions ?

  • Why does FireFox change layout/settings during upgrades without asking ?

    Just upgraded to Firefox 18 (windows 7 desktop). Why does Firefox change layouts/settings without asking the user if he wants it or not???
    I am getting sick of those changes. I want to have at the google main page the options (as before) to search in all languages, or pages from a certain language or pages in a certain language (of course depening of the google address; f.i. at google.de for german languages, google.fr for french languages etc).
    In the latest Firefox 17 it was working as I wanted and described before: when I visited www.google.de/firefox of www.google.fr/firefox. Now those 3 options (under the search bar) are gone and I do not want to operate by clicking on the advanced search button. Those things should be visible under the search bar again.
    Also my STARTPAGE was GONE/DELETED after the update !!! Grrrrr.... Updating is OK but mozilla should not change user configured items !!!!!!!
    The above described problem has nothing to do with the google website.

    By the way, do Firefox and IE use the same proxy settings? You can view Firefox's here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > "Network" mini-tab > "Settings" button
    The default is "Use system proxy settings".

  • Why does Bridge always sort images by rating instead of by date modified?

    Why does Bridge always sort images by rating instead of by date modified?
    This drives me bonkers.  Everytime I look for an image I've been working on, I go to Bridge and I'm always presented with the images sorted by rating instead of by date.
    Then I click on the microscopic sized, extremely tiny arrow that allows one to choose 'sort by date modified' and I resort them to find the file I need.  So that's always 3 extra clicks to find the image.
    WHY can't Bridge sort images by date modified and STAY that way every time I come back?
    Thanks for any help.
    I know I could just keep the recent files rated the highest, but still, I'm wondering if there's a way to make it work the way I'd like it to work?
    jn
    p.s.  Note to Adobe: Please make the selection button for sorting images arrow larger than a fraction of the size of the period at the end of this sentence.  Thanks.

    WHY can't Bridge sort images by date modified and STAY that way every time I come back?
    By default it does stay at the latest selected sort order so this could mean it is due to your install.
    First of all try to reset the preferences for Bridge, hold down option key while restarting Bridge and choose reset preferences. This sets it all to default. First try if the problem is solved then set prefs again to your own custom wishes.
    Also check and repair permissions for the OSX itself (Apple has disk utility in the utility folder for this job, and there are other 3th party applications)
    And be sure to have the latest update for Bridge. (Bridge CS5 should be 4.0.5.11)
    In addition to the method Tai Lao pointed you already to there is a third option, use right click mouse button in content window and the pop up menu has also the sort option at the bottom of the row

    Why does iPhoto change the sort order of the photos in my album when I attempt to share via Photo Stream?

    Did anyone find a good way to sort the shared albums better, so that the ones you share with can better find their way around.
    You can arrange them manually in an album, select all and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date to menu option and check the box to add a set interval between photos. That will let the photos be sorted by date and be in the order you want:

  • Why does Illustrator change CMYK color numbers when set to preserve them?

    I'm using CS2 on Mac OSX 10.4. Recently I tried importing a Photoshop image into Illustrator and then matching a color in Illustrator to a color in the Photoshop document. But Illustrator changed the CMYK values of the color in the Photoshop document even though I have "Preserve CMYK colors" checked in the color setup window. Both applications and files are set to SWOP v2.
    I don't have the same problem when placing either Photoshop or Illustrator files into InDesign.
    I ended up recreating the project in InDesign to get consistent color, but I need to know how to make Illustrator preserve color numbers for the project that will come up for which I need Illustrator features.
    Thanks.

    So here we are at Illustrator CC and this very simple integration has not been fixed... because as far as I'm concerned... it is a BUG!
    Seriously, no offense to @Steve Fairburn... but that is just so archaic for a "suite" of programs that should work well together.
    There is absolutely NO need for CMYK colors to be valued beyond solid percentages in 1% increments in either Illustrator or InDesign!
    Here's a stupid workaround if you need to link images, and pull colors:
    Load the image as "linked" -> duplicate it and choose "embed" -> pull the colors and make swatches with the eyedropper tool... then throw it away. You could also just relink the file after an embed, making sure to check the Adanced Options checkbox.
    ADDITIONAL NOTES:
    1) why does InDesign give you the ability to "Reveal the Linked Image on the Desktop", whereas in Illy you can only reveal in Bridge?
    2) "placing" the same PSD/PDF image in InDesign and Illustrator: ID allows for correct eydropper color pulling, while IL does not until you embed it.

  • ".alias" file in LV 8.2 DSC - What is in there and why does it change?

    Why does the alias file get updated every time I open and close the associated project WITHOUT SAVING ANYTHING ?
    Repeat:
    I did not save anything.
    What is being saved if I did not change anything?

    Hi all,
    I can give you some reasoning behind the 'why.'  The aliases file
    lets the project know the location (IP) of each of the targets in the
    project to facilitate communication between them.  This is very
    useful in Real-Time and FPGA applications containing multiple
    independent targets.  If you create a new RT cRIO Controller in
    your project, for example, you'd find your aliases file now looks like
    this:
    [My Computer]
    My Computer = "10.0.31.147"
    [RT CompactRIO Target]
    RT CompactRIO Target = "10.0.35.254"
    The reason why the aliases file is updated just by opening the project
    (even without saving the project) is that the project file may have
    been moved to a different computer, or your IP address may have changed
    since the last time it was opened.  LabVIEW needs the current
    address of each of the targets to be able to, among other things, send
    and receive FTP files, set up front-panel communication with the
    target, and properly configure shared variables.  This behavior
    should be present in all flavors of LabVIEW 8.2, and not just with the
    DSC Module.

    I really could use some help here.
    When I reply to an email, no matter what font I am using, within a few lines it switches to a different font and goes bold. Why does this continue to happen? I tried going to Insert, selecting HTML and placing <style type="text/css"> body {font: 12pt Tahoma;} </style> it works but it has to be done for every email I reply to. Thank you ahead of time.

  • Why does LR name my images "Edit8bit" When opening into Photoshop?

    I have preferences>external editing>Bit Depth set to 16 bits/component.  So why when I open my images is the file name saying they are 8 bit?  Photoshop shows them as "RGB/16".  The image mode shows 16 bit inside of photoshop.
    These images start out in Lightroom as 12 or 14 bit RAW (NEF) images.  I'm just concerned that some sort of 8 bit conversion is happening before my images get loaded into photoshop and I am losing some color information in the process?  Am I?
    I am currently on LR 5.2 and Photoshop CC 14.1.2  But this has been happening for many versions of LR and Photoshop

    What have you got set as the External Editing File Naming scheme, bottom of the External Editing tab in the Lightroom Preferences? That's where the file name is (user) controlled:

  • Why does iMovie stretch my images upon importing?

    I've got some footage that I'm trying to import, but iMovie stretches out the video horizontally. I shot the footage using my Panasonic Widescreen mode, but why does iMovie take that footage and stretch it out further? Anyone have any thoughts?

    If AppleMan1958's suggestion does not resolve your problem, and if iMovie is the ONLY app that is giving problems, your iMovie preferences file may be corrupted.
    To check this out, quit all applications. Then throw away your iMovie Preferences file (com.apple.iMovie8.plist) from your Home (user) / Library / Preferences folder.
    A new preferences folder will be generated when you restart iMovie to test whether iMovie imports properly now, but you will need to reset any preference settings you want different from the default values.

  • After importing word document in RH 9, why does the position of image changes

    Hi All,
    I have a document which i need to import in RH9. However when i imported the document, the position of the images on my first page changed.
    i read several discussion, but could nt get any relevant suggestion.
    the first page of my document has company logo and a text box on its left but when i am importing, the image is displayed separately and text box is displayed after the image. the first page is my cover page thats the reason it has text box.
    Now can anyone please tell me how i can club the text box and image on a single htm.Robohelp also converts the text box and its data to an image format.
    Thanks for your time and consideration

    Hi there
    As you have seen, RoboHelp doesn't understand how to create the layers you are wanting to achieve the effect in Word. It simply brings the images in as separate objects.
    Basically there are two approaches you might consider.
    You could insert Positioned Text Boxes and configure them to present the images as you want. If you take this approach, you will likely find yourself struggling to maintain the positioning consistently as well as noticing text flow issues. Personally, I'd avoid that approach.
    The other approach involves displaying the images in your Word document so that you see them as intended, then screen capture so you grab the combined image. Then save that combined image and use it instead of the separate images in RoboHelp. This is the approach I'd suggest and that I use myself.
    Cheers... Rick

  • What is "date created" and why does it change?

    I have Photoshop Elements 10 that I am using with Windows XP  Service Pack 3, a Pentium 4 CPU with 3 GHz, 2 GB of RAM and 48.6 GB of free disk space.
    None of the "dates created" in Properties  match the date the picture was taken. What does "Date Created" represent? Is it the date that the images are pulled into a catalog in Organizer?
    I have multiple catalogs that show creation dates that are later than the date modified, (example: date created of June 2012 and a date modified of March 2012). How is it possible that the date created is later than the date modified? Shouldn't the date created be earlier than the date modified?
    Also, I have had several instances in which the date created was changed again, making the system think it was a "new" image in my watched folders. Shouldn't the Date Created remain constant?  How can I keep the date created from being changed?
