Why, when I place an image, is the box blank?

In ID 5.5, I've got a document into which I'm trying to place a small image. I do File > Place, select the file (I've tried both .ai and .psd formats), then click in my open doc and move the highlighted image box to the proper location. As soon as I let go of the box, the image disappears, leaving only the highlighted bounding box. And then even that disappears.
I've tried playing with the layers, but haven't been able to solve it. (Just to clarify, if a particular layer is highlighted, then File > Place should result in the image winding up on that layer, right?)
Also, the circular "handle" for moving the image around is quite a way from the actual image/bounding box. Why is that? (I'm not a complete noob, but there's a lot to learn here.)
TIA for any assistance the collective wisdom can give me.

Dear Peter,
Thanks for your reply. When I went back into InDesign this morning to check out your suggestion, I did File > Place again and *this* time it worked perfectly. Go figure. I'm sure I'll be back soon with another question as I work through this book cover project.
My greater frustration this morning was the 10 minutes it took to figure out how to sign in to this forum! There are a few user interface issues with it, I think.
Anyway, thanks for your answer.

Why does my Background image color changes when I place an image ?

Hi everyone,
I'd like to make a presentation in InDesign. I put a background image into a different layer which I called "Background" and then I create a new layer which I called "Images" and place an image with a transparency layer. When I place this image onto the Images layer color of the image in the Background layer changes. I can not figure out why It changes its color. I'd be grateful to anyone who can help me resolve this problem ?
Regards
Cem

Edit > Transparency Blend Space... and set it to match the color mode of the background image.

Hello, does anyone know why when i drag and drop from the internet,why my images never show up?

hello, does anyone know why when i drag and drop from the internet,why my images never show up?

I'm wanting to drag images from the internet into a folder on my desktop or hard drive. I am used to being able to drag just about any image from any website off the web and into a folder on my old mac, but since I got my laptop, I've noticed I cannot do that. Is it a preference?

How do I place an image over the header?

I am new to web design and new to Dreamweaver CS4. I have used 2 column template with header and footer. I have got a header title (an image) but I want to place an image to the left of it in the top left corner of the web page. I want the header region to be the height of the title as I want the image to have a greater height than the header area. When I insert the image it goes into the header region and the header automatically increases its height to fit the image. How can I overlay the image on the header rather than inserting it in the header? Any help would be appreciated.

Designing web pages is nothing like designing for print. To achieve what you want , you'll either need to create a special header image in Photoshop or Fireworks that contains white space and/or slices from surrounding images. Insert this new image into your header region.
Or, you could simply place image in the background using CSS. Then align your message text using CSS floats and margins. See demo below for an example.

Place an image on the block diagram

Is there an easy way to place an image on the block diagram?
To clarify, I would like a simple way to paste a bmp or jpeg or png or whatever onto my block diagram for the purpose of documenting the block diagram for future programmers.
The way I currently accompish this is by creating a picture constant on the diagram and running a seperate vi to load a picture into a picture window, then using copy and paste functions to get the image into the picture constnat in my block diagram.
There's a simpler way, right?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks, but that isn't at all what I am trying to do. I want to
place an image on the block diagram, not read an image. I've attached a
screen shot of my block diagram to show you that I am using an image
that I pasted onto the block diagram to document the block diagram. The
picture below the wiring is a schematic of a rectangular reticle that
corresponds to the wiring diagram above. You can see which points go
where when drawing the targeting reticle around kermit the frog, so it
is easier to understand the wiring diagram.
The method
I have to use to paste an image into the block diagram is cumbersome. I
would like to know if there is an easy way to paste an image into the
block diagram.

Indesign cs5.5 keeps crashing when i place an image

I used a trial
version of indesign and this was a constant issue....crashing when placing images, i thought it was because i was running a trial version.
I went out and bought a copy and registered it and to my horror the crashing is just as bad, it only seems to happen when i place an image, working in text is fine no crashing. I'm operating on windows vista with HP pavillion dv9000 3 gig ram 300gig HD
is there a patch that can be used ? i would really appreciate some assistance, i'm a bit of a noobie to indesign so please make it noobie proof.

At this point it's pretty hard to tell if the problem is the images or ID, but I suspect it's a bad install.
I would run add/remove programs and uninstall ID, then run the clean script: Resolve installation problems with CS5 Cleaner Tool to remove any leftover traces.
Run MSconfig and turn off unnecessary startup programs and services, especially antivirus and spyware scanners, firewalls, messenger programs, iTunes, and browser helpers and toolbars, then reboot in the modified startup condition. Be sure you are logged in as an administrator and reinistall. Run MS config to restore to normal startup and reboot.
Launch ID, then go to Help > Updates... to get the patch.

Yes, it will be a problem. Convert the images in Photoshop using the printer's color profiles or a standard CMYK profile.

BB Locks up when I transfer photo images to the Micro SD Card

Any one have any idea why my 8330 with 1GB micro SD card locks up when I transfer photo images to the card?
They are 1.25 MB JPG files. I tried transferring to the card directly and transferring to the card via Roxio. Roxio asked if I want to convert.... I agreed to convert the files, but the BB still locks up. I only had this BB for about 5 days and I have already found several thing I really don't like. This is the top of the list, second is streaming music won't use Stereo Bluetooth headphones and the Navigation App won't use headphones at all and the GPS App, doesn't work consistently in a vehicle (what's up with that, where else would I want to use it?).

I would put my money on the memory card being defective. The fact that you verified that the one file that the device
(regurgitated) was not corrupt. If you transferred it from the PC DIRECTLY to the media card as you say,
the Blackberry wasn't involved except as a port.
Try this; remove the media card put it on the reader and load the images. If the same this happens it's not related to the Blackberry as it isn't even in the equation.
I would try reformatting the card, and making sure the following options are set on your BB.
Go to OPTIONS _MEDIA CARD_ enable all options except for ENCRYPTION MODE make sure that is none.
Verify that the total space shown on the bottom of the screen reflects the amount of memory on the media card,
Allowing for formatting space) ex. On my 8gb card I shoe 7.6gb available.
If the problem reoccurs it would make sense it's the media card.
Can't have to much practice at field stripping your device right? (USAR 70 )

From reading Vista forums support for SSD is one of the things Vista SP2 and Windows 7 hope (need) to improve upon. I was in a similar discussion once befoe on SSDs:

I don't think it is EFI issue, but with XP and drivers, lack, and wonder if you can try with Vista?

That won't solve performance issues, but should work.

"My guess is that [Samsung and Microsoft] are maybe working on the OS recognizing an SSD with a 4K-byte sector size instead of a hard disk drive with a 512-byte sector size," Wong said.
Sun is already working with Samsung to bulk up SSD support on the ZFS (Zettabyte File System), which is included in the Solaris OS, and will also be supported in Apple's upcoming Mac OS X 10.6, codenamed Snow Leopard. Sun is adding capabilities to boost the durability and performance of SSDs on ZFS-based operating systems. For example, Sun may add defragmentation capabilities for SSDs, which organizes data in a particular order to enable quicker data access.
SSDs were not considered ideal for defragmentation because of limited read-and-write capabilities, Wong said. However, Samsung and Sun in July jointly announced an 8G-byte SSD that bumped up durability from 100,000 read-and-write cycles to 500,000. That brings defragmentation in SSDs closer to reality, which could improve its caching and provide quicker access to data. Sun plans to put SSDs into storage products later this year.

Dear friend, the problem is that there is exchange of something very useful from users an this break them habits! I'm not interested of forced using of tools! Of course it's good that there is a tool to solve my problem, but this action make me unhappy.
last words - this is the way of losing users.

I've seen this happen when the phone was encrypted... Other than calling apple/deleting passcodes I don't know of any solution.
If you're keen on waiting, upload your photos to dropbox, that's the way I do it.
