Why is 100% scanned image not = to 100% zoom in CS5??

Using OS X 10.6.7 and CS5 Extended: I am having full size patterns scanned by a reprographics company as tif files. On average the full size patterns will be from 40" to 60" (100%). Yet when I open them with CS5 and zoom to 100 % in order to 'clean up' the designs on the pattern, the image is way larger than the hard copy pattern - more like 500%. I've noticed in one instance that zooming to 33% is closer to actual size. The image file from the full size scan opens as 2% .tif(Bitmap). How is it that 33% zoom gives me closer to actual (scanned image) than the 100% that I would expect? Thanks to anyone who can help clear this up for me.

100% means actual pixels, not actual size of the item being scanned. If your monitor displays 100 pixels per inch an image scanned at 300 ppi will look three times larger than actual at 100%.
thanks to MBlackburn.

Scanned Images Not Viewing Properly

So a weird thing has happened this evening. I spent most of the afternoon scanning in old photos using Image Capture. I have a bunch of jpeg files at 300 dpi of these photos. I can see all of the images in Finder on the folders I created on my desktop, however when I import those folders into iPhoto the images just become black squares. If I double click on the black square I can see the image, but I don't understand why I can't see the images without clicking on them. I have done this the same way previously with satisfactory results. What am I doing wrong this time? Some of these images are b/w and some are color...

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You scanned the B/W photos as grayscale color mode and iPhoto doesn't support color scale. You'll need to convert them to the RGB color mode and add the sRGB color profile with a 3rd party application or rescan them as color photos.
You can use ColorSync Utility to assign the sRGB color profile to the photos.
If you have Photoshop Elements or PS you can convert them also.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger 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.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Why are my rollover images not appearing correctly in my browser?

I have created rollover images for some of my site navigation, and when I view it in my browser, they are not in the correct place on the page. When I click on each rollover, it eventually goes to the right place when I return to that page, but I must do this to all rollover navigation buttons in order for them to show up in the correct place. The links work fine. I am relatively new to this, so not sure if I am providing all the correct info here. My site is www.pfeiferdesign.com. I am using DW CS4. Would appreciate any suggestions!! Thanks

Where is it you want the navigation to appear?
Try this CSS -
#mainnav {
clear: both;
display: block;
float:right;
margin-right:50px;
margin-top:25px;
overflow:hidden;
padding:0;
width:350px;
Is that anywhere close?

Why are my scanned images turning red when put in a slideshow or iMovie?

Why are my photos turning red when put in a slideshow?

Can you start a new document and then load one of the duotones known to be good in the working file and have it correct? If so, try one of the duotones known to be bad in the working document in the new file. Does it work?
If no to either suggestion, can you share one of the images known to be good and one known to be bad? ZIP 'em up and upload to dropbox and plop a link here. Or, to keep the file sizes down, you can quickly make a new set and provide those.
As well, the ID version and OS info would probably be helpful.
Take care, Mike

Why is the logo image not displaying in Firefox?

The logo image for one of my sites is not displaying. The alt info for the image is being displayed. This is a relatively new problem. In older versions of Firefox the image displayed fine. The image also displays fine in Webkit browsers and IE10. This is a Firefox specific problem. The main URL for the site is: http://sabaki.aisites.com/dbs323/project/masterAi.php
If you go to that URL in Firefox you'll see "logo gif" split onto two lines and before the "COTin" text. If you view the same URL in Chrome or IE10, you'll see the image. I have screenshots of the problem, but there is no way to include them here.

Works fine here.

Scanned Images not working with iphoto6

All my hundreds and hundreds of scanned photos will not work in iPhoto6. My digital photos taken with a digital camera work just fine.
I use an Epson 2480 Photo scanner. All the photos I have scanned over the years and even my recent scanned photos will not work in iPhoto6. Some are psd, some are tiff and some are jpg. When imported and the Ken Burns effect is applied, they immediately have a red/orange overcast. They seem to be Ok as long as the ken burns effect is not applied.
I have updated all the way on iMovie updates.
So, if I scan a photo and import it into iMovie6 and try to apply a ken burns effect, it immediately applies a red/orange overcast. sort of like an orange translucent covering.
anybody help me with this, please?

Yes, I use Photoshop CS. I normally scan my photos for printing. Save them in .psd. (which averages about 25 photos per customer) They are all saved in RGB mode. I copy them and convert those into CMYK mode for printing.
I then use the RGB photos to build an Imovie for my printing customers.
I take the same photos and use them to build a quick complementary family DVD.
BUT, now I have to re-open the files in photoshopCS and save them as a
jpg file, in order for them to work in iPhoto6. This procedure also works with preview.
However my digital camera photos work just fine. No need to resave them.
But...... I have hundreds of old photos I have scanned over the years that have to be reopened and RESAVED as a jpg in order for them to work in Iphoto6.
I mean HUNDREDS OF PHOTOS.
I guess, resaving them somehow strips them of their old scanning info tags????? but my goodness, that will be very time consuming. I dont know if I can wait for a bug fix from apple. Who knows if they will ever fix it?
Thanks again.

Why does the poster image not match animation?

This is part of a larger issue with DPS that necessitates placing a static version of the animation (the poster) into InDesign that shows prior to the animation. Not doing this, there is a white flash when the page first opens and before the animation can get loaded. Unfortunately the poster image from Edge is noticeably lighter than the animation itself.

We take the poster image from the current timeline postion.
There are a few image optimizations that happen,but that should not cause any significant difference from the content on stage and the poster image generated.
If your are facing this problem on a partiular file ,can you PM me those files?

Why are my RAW images not being read, showing up as black rectangles?

I installed the newest version of iPhoto because the RAW images were not readable. And after doing a little research, I needed to upgrade. Now, it is acting like it can see them, but they are black rectangles. Except the first one, of like 300, the bottom half of the photo is there, but the top half is blacked out.

And
What camera?

Why are my cropped images not printing at the size I have cropped them to?!

Hey!
I know how to crop images to specific sizes using either the rectangular marquee or crop tool. However, I am needing to print a number of small images, so want to compile them into one document to save paper. Once the image is cropped, it shows up in 'image size' as being the required size, however, when I copy and paste it into another document in an attempt to arrange it on a page with other cropped images, the images come out at about half the specified size when I print them.
Is it to do with the view I am using, because it doesn't seem to matter whether I set it to 'print size' or 'actual pixels'?
I can't seem to find an answer to this, and I'm sure that I didn't have a problem with this when I was using photoshop more regularly a few years ago!

Hello,
You need to ake sure the target document and the source documents have the same"resolution", in other words the same PPI.
You could also use the Edit>Place command, which will respect the print dimensions of the source photo, but import it as a Smart Object.

Why are my background images not showing up?

The table is split into two, and I want 2 background images
sitting in them so I can write type over them (which is already
there).
I know how to do this with divs, but have never done it to a
table (I no longer use tables for web page layout).
The two images are supposed to be at the bottom of this page
behind "Robert R. Smith, Jr. - Rock Drummer" and "Contact Me".
What have I done wrong and how do I make these two images
appear?

You're mixing up HTML and CSS code. Your code:
<td width="125"
background-image="url(../images/bottom_art_right.jpg)"
style="padding-top: 90px;">
Should be either:
<td width="125"
background="../images/bottom_art_right.jpg" style="padding-top:
90px;">
Or (my preference):
#leftblock {
background-image : url(../images/bottom_art_right.jpg);
style="padding-top: 90px;
<td id="leftblock">

Background image not displaying 100% width of iphone

Hi I am getting some strange behaviour on my iphone using firefox but displaying perfectly in firefox on computer. I do not wish to submit the name of site as I do not want it to show up in search results but if anyone can help me I will pm site address. Thanks.
As the header's width is 100%, why is there the need for margin: 0 auto or text-align:center? Surely the background image should just display to 100% of the screen? Then the actual logo image that sits in the header div should have text align and margin auto yes? I know that applying these rules this way does not center the logo within the div but WHY? I have uncommented out the text align and margin auto on the header div and it displays properly on my computer but not on the iphone.
With regards to iphone the background image stops short of the logo by a small amount, I have not designed a separate style sheet for iphones, not part of the scope but as the rest of the pages display ok why does the background image stop just short of the logo image?
I really appreciate your input.
This is the CSS
#header {
   width:100%;
height:117px;
    padding: 0 0 0 0;
/*    text-align:center;
    margin:0 auto;*/
    background:url(images/header-bg2.jpg) left repeat-x;}
#header a img {
    border:none;
    padding:0;
    margin:0 auto;
    text-align:center;}
<div id="header">
<a href="http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com.au"><img src="images/KPS-logo.png" width="1024" height="117" alt="xxxxxxxxxxx Logo" /></a>
</div> 

You have nothing defining your background image size, just the box that holds it
try adding some CSS to control the actual background image...
background-size:cover;
background-position:right top;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-atachment:fixed;

HT201317 Can anyone tell me why my photo stream is not loading all of my pics onto my new iPhone 5c. phone plug into iMac, all settings on phone are for photo stream on. it only sent 100 out of 1000. thanks for any help !

Can anyone tell me why my photo stream is not loading all 1,000 pictures onto my new iphone 5c? i backed up my old phone onto the mac and plugged in my new phone then hit backup. it only gave me 100 pictures????? why?
thanks for any help!

Because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing enough time for your devices to download them. Only shared streams keep photos in iCloud indefinitely. Your other photos are probably older than 30 days and are no longer in iCloud.
Also, photo stream photos aren't included in your backup, only camera roll photos are. If you want to include photo stream photos that are not already in your camera roll in your backup, you have to save them to the camera roll before backing up.

Images are always magnified and not showing at 100% zoom level

http://s7.postimg.org/oy0gq3x8b/chrome_firefox.png
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
left side is Chrome rendering; right side is Firefox
Notice the 3 images, all rendered zoomed in by Firefox.
No matter what I set in Preferences, what plugin I tried, i can't reset to 100% zoom.

Hello,
Firefox on Windows is now following display scaling options which may render text larger on high resolution displays.
You can adjust your screen resolution.
To modify it do the following:
* Type '''about:config''' into the Firefox address bar and tap on the Enter key.
* If the warning '''This might void your warranty''' appears, click '''I'll be careful, I promise'''.
* Search for '''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx'''
[[Image:Fx22layout.css.devPixelsPerPx]]
* Double-click on layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to modify its value. The default is -1.0 in Firefox 22 and above. Change it to '''1.0''' to make it work like in previous Firefox versions.
If necessary, further adjust the value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps. Use values between 1.0 and about 0.5 to reduce elements in size. Use values greater than 1.0 to increase size. For example, a value of 1.25 will increase font size to 125% to accommodate the default DPI setting in Windows 8. '''Double check the value that you enter.''' Setting a too small value will make everything disappear and a too large value will blow things up.
If web pages still need to be adjusted then you can look at the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/ Default FullZoom Level] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/ NoSquint] extension.
To adjust the font size for the user interface, you can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/ Theme Font & Size Changer] extension.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

HP LaserJet 100 colorMFP M175nw scanned images are too bright

Hello!
Is there a way to change scanner's default image color correction as currently all of resulted scanned images (text documents, graphics, photos) are unnaturally too bright?
I had another HP Ink Jet printer also with scanner and all scanned images have good color correction there.
So I think there is a problem with my current one.
Does anyone knows how to fix it?
Thanks.

Hello, Futoji!
Sorry for big delay.
I did what you've told me and now I am wondering about what I see.
1) To scan documents I use both HP Scan and Apple Image Capture with default settings (no color correction).
Well it does not matter, though, because I see bright pictures right after scanning them.
2) I scan documents from flatbed (not feeder), well it is the same for feeder.
3) So, what I noticed was that printer scanned document and printed it almost exactly as it was only using hardware buttons on it.
But when I did scan using both programs above the same document, it was getting too bright to be real... When I printed such scanned image the result was accordingly bad.
So, what I think is that this scanner works differently for hardware buttons and software or applies some filters on the resulted image...
I found 2 similar posts to mine, they are describing the same problem for different printers, but unfortunately they didn't seem to be solved.
