.wmf files in Lookout

How to modify the color of an image in .wmf format? I would like to change the color of a Custom representation of a Switch in Lookout 5.0.

Check out the Image Navigator. It not only provides tons of additional images, it also gives you the ability to customize the images also. To access all these wonderful images, click on the Image Navigator button in the Lookout Select Graphic dialog box (which appears any time you insert a custom graphic in a Lookout control, or when you choose Insert»Graphic from the Lookout menu). It is pretty intuitive to use, and you will be creating all kinds of custom colored graphics in short order.

  • What advante&di​sadvante of using graphics or object as bitmap file or wmf file ?

    Working on lookuot graphics,I was recommanded to use bitmap file rather than metafiles file,but when I use bitmap file, my graphics were not looking good as original and slowed down my job.Does it take alot of memories and slowdown my computer speed if I use metafiles ?

    If your graphics use a lot of complex surface textures or were generated in a pixel driven graphics program wmf files get really bloated. As long as you draw graphics with a vector driven graphic program (like Corel Draw) and create simple objects, wmf. is really the better choice. It allows you to scale your graphics without loss of resolution and without increasing memory usage, thus speeding up your design process within Lookout. I actually use wmf in about 90% of my custom graphics. There is really a quiet good section on bmp vs wmf in the handbook.

  • Is there a plug-in to open WMF files in Photoshop CS2?

    Have been opening my WMF files in another program and converting them to a friendlier format which is a pain.  Is there a plug-in or something that will allow me to open WMF in Photoship CS2?  I can view them in Bridge but that's all.

    Here is a Batch Converter, that might work for you. Do not know about a plug-in.
    Good luck,

  • Reading wmf files

    Just switched computers and viewing WMF files is really spotty. I could read them before but half of them now just have a default icon. What's wrong with this picture. Yet another bug to add to the pile?

    garyoa1,
    I ran across your remarks while searching for a solution to Bridge 3's very erratic handling of some file formats:
    "But the point is, if you've never used the freeware and shareware viewers, you've no idea how badly bridge functions. And one would think a $1500 suite of programs would do just a tad better than a free program. As far as bridge being better in CS4... haven't tried it yet, but there's no way they could make it worse."
    That really sums it up. I use Bridge 3 extensively for my photographic image workflow--and literally never have a problem, and I do about 2500 RAW images a week for clients. It definitely is a much improved Bridge to PSCS4. With Premiere, it is another story altogether.
    I also do professional videography and editing. Bridge 3 is an absolute writeoff with AVIs. 90% of the time it will not produce thumbnails for clips cut in Premiere, it frequently crashes trying to play back large clips, it frequently locks up when using it to copy multiple clips from one directory to another, it hangs on mpegs,it will not keyword some clips, and on and on. Useless, in a word.
    All the cache purges, preference killing, and other workarounds simply do not work. Since I have no problems with very large image scans (2-400 megs) or photographic images, and no trouble with AVIs on other browsers or image management apps, I have to conclude that it is just lousy coding and QA at Adobe, something that is emerging as a sub text trademark over the last few years. Anyone who has been involved with the numerous problems with Lightroom over the last two years and the present issues with PSCS4 will immediately recognize the issue. Thankfully, LR 2.3 and ACR 5.3 are now finally,relatively, stable and reliable.
    Ironically, I have had to turn to MS for a solution to my Bridge problems. Microsoft Expression 2 (formerly Iview), works flawlessly with video clips, has more useful professional features, handles more formats, and provides much faster workflow. It has solved all my Bridge video clip problems!
    With Premiere, Bridge 3 is simply a Bridge to Nowhere. Users have a right to expect more of Adobe's very expensive applications. A creative suite without a Bridge that truly will act as a trouble free bridge that supports all the formats that the CS components will process is crippled.

  • Cannot open .wmf files in CS 5.5 InDesign

    I Receved the following message; Cannot open the file logo.wmf. Adobe InDesign may not support the file format a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing or the file may be open in another application; which it is not.  I am lookinig for a solution; so I can do my online InDesign class.

    You should not use a WMF file anyway in InDesign, try to get a PDF, AI or EPS version, then place this file. WMF is supposed for office printer to use in Word or other Office programs, not for high end print production or PDF creation at all.
    If you get a PDF version, don't ise any which was converted from the WMF file!

  • I can't open .WMF files in Photoshop 10, why?

    Why can't I open .WMF files in Photoshop 10?

    Welcome to the forum.
    Am I correct that you are referring to Adobe Photoshop Elements 10? Or, do you mean Adobe Photoshop CS3?
    While there are similarities between Ps and PsElements, there are some differences too. Knowing exactly which program you are using can be important.
    Also, and regardless of the program used, Trevor offers great advice above.
    Good luck, and let us know a bit more, please.

  • Illustrator - WMF files

    Hi,
    I would like to know what the go is with Illustrator and exporting to wmf files?
    What has happened is this.
    I have an illustrator file which i have a logo and text(an A4 letter head), which i am working with.
    I have it saved as an .AI file (illustrator). I then exported it as (from File menu then Export) and saved it as an wmf file - i use wmf file as this logo and text/letter head will be going into a Word document, so from research today through the web, i am using wmf file to import into Word 2007 - possibly be used in other versions of word, like older versions also - though i have one question here also - do i use .WMF file to use as a logo and text(a single graphic) in WORD, or is there a more suitable format, say, pdf, .eps? or another graphic format which WORD will accept and retain the quality of the image?
    OK,  now i have exported my file, first time the letterhead came out scratchy and edgy, say very poor quality, next time i resized the logo in illustrator to maek it bigger, see if there was any difference, then i exported it to .wmf, THIS time it came out a lot better, the lines were smooth etc. The THIRD time i did it, it came out a lot better, much better quality(having rezsized it to be larger in illustrator). After i did this again, the file went back to the first image quality poor for some reason, i tried another 6-7 times and the same result, pixelated/not smooth and poor.
    So this is my dillemma, illustrator is mucking about for some reason, or what am i doing wrong. Also the 2nd and 3rd times i have imported the files into WORD, and this is when they were the quality i mentioned, based on what they appear in word. But if i preview/view them on their own in a picture viewer, then they are not great quality at all - all 8 versions of wmf files.
    What am i doing wrong?
    I am trying to create a letterhead, and this is for a volunteer role which i took up just recently and i have taken up too much time to produce the organisations documents which need branding. Business Card, Letter head, fax cover and dcoument template for internal use, cover page etc.
    So if anyone could shed some light on all this or point me in the right direction thorugh a hidden web tutorial then that would be great, i would love to hear from anyone, real quick.
    Or just at least tell me why illustrator is not exporting properly anymore? Another question, does all text in my illustrator document need to be (Create Outlines) before i export to wmf format - as im just learning all this stuff now.
    Thankyou,
    GaNa85

    Hey Mylenium,
    Thats cleared up a lot, and i was going to say that i did do a search just after i posted that saving as microsfot office - it saves as a png, but wanted to hear everyones reesponses also.
    I will work with png, but i would like to ask (i will need to print off and check), but is this the professional standard to utilizing and branding documents such as letter heads/fax cover letters, working with word etc.
    I want a very clean cut, nice, finished, crisp and polished logo branding on all my word documents. Not allowed to have anything blurry in anyway, it will be for the organisations corporate branding - throughout all office documents.
    Why would i not use tiff? due to large file size? Does Word not accept it?
    If you could or anyone explain all this then i would learn something for the long run. If there is a proper format for this, then i would like to hear.
    For everyone else the header greys out the image, though from reading other peoples responses for word, it will appear as is once printed, with it's original colour and quality - purpose of header IS to distinguish that this part of the document is a header, by greying out the image.
    If i could get a last clarification for creating letterheads and png/other file formats, then that would be great.
    Thanks!

  • Wmf files in bridge cc

    In previous versions of Bridge I had preview of wmf files, now I just get an icon. Is there a way to preview these files?

    Windows Metafile (WMF) is an image file format originally designed for Microsoft Windows in the 1990s. Windows Metafiles are intended to be portable between applications and may contain both vector graphics and bitmap components. It acts in a similar manner to SVG files.
    I have been able to view these files in Bridge CS5 so wondered why I could not in Bridge CC...I can open them in Illustrator.

  • .wmf files

    Hello everyone,
    I'm allowing users to store .wmf (windows meta file) files in the database. However I can't display the files back to the user because internet explorer does not support this file type. If anyone knows of a package/class/library to convert wmf files to .jpg of .gif or even to simply display them in a browser please help me.
    Thanks,
    Grey

    I have the same problem, converting a wmf-file to gif. Would you please tell me what your solution is? Maybe I can use it here.
    Thanks, Harry

  • Can't open .wmf files with Illustrator

    I'm using Creative Suite CS2 on a PC/Windows XP operating system.
    I'm suddenly unable to launch Illustrator when I try to open a .wmf file from within Windows Explorer. Instead, I get an error message that the file itself is not a valid program (DUH!).
    I also cannot open them with the "Edit Original" command in InDesign.
    I have tried changing the "Opens With Program..." option in the file properties from within Windows Explorer over and over.
    Oddly, I can always open .wmf files with Illustrator from within Adobe Bridge, simply by double-clicking the file. And of course, I can open them from within Illustrator by simply going to "open file".
    But I really want to be able to use the "Edit Original" feature in InDesign to launch and open .wmf files in Illustrator.
    Anybody know what's going on? Is this a Windows problem, an Illustrator problem or an InDesign problem? And how do I fix it?
    Thanks so much for any suggestions.

    I'm sorry you're having this problem with Illustrator.  Would you mind reposting over on the Illustrator forums?  You've posted in the AIR forum and I think you'll have better luck over there.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • How to conversion .wmf files for Mac use?

    We have Broderbund's ClickArt package from the days when the user used Windows.  Now, on the Mac, the .wmf files won't open in Preview, Pages, etc.  (We don't have MS Office.)  How can we either use these .wmf files with Mac or find a good conversion program?
    Thanks in advance

    Wow!  How brilliant! 
    I never would have thought of searching the Internet for an answer  before asking people what worked for them.
    Your answer is useless. 
    I can and did google my question before posting. 
    I am looking for people with experience which isn't included in the results of a google search.
    I see you post non-answers all the time.  It would be nice if your answers were helpful.  In other forums, you are a Troll.
    Please don't try to "help" me if I post questions again.

  • Slideshow unable to create WMF File

    I can not create a WMF File from the Slideshow. Is there any solution for that ?

    Marc,
    your question is too vague for anyone to help you.
    1- What version of Photoshop Elements do you have? Are you running on XP or Vista?
    I am guessing that you have made your slide show and then done the Output command to write a WMV file
    2- what where the other output parameters that you choose with your choice of a WMV file?
    3- what error message or symptoms do you get?
    4- how many slides are in your slide show?
    5- how much space do you have available on your C drive?
