Working with Background images

HI. I have a project which contains a few slides with the same background image...an image that was caught with Snagit and then merged onto the slide. I anticipate needing to replace this image with an updated one in the near future. Is there a quick and easy way of replacing that image (which contains a number of captions, highlight boxes, etc) without having to recreate the entire slide from scratch?

Hello again,
Please save the image (p.e. as a PNG) on your PC, do not copy it to the Clipboard. The workaround I described would work, but here is even a shorter way:
Open the Slide Properties (righ mouse click menu)
Use the button 'Change background image' and point to the image saved.
The background image will be replaced, you will see both of them in the Library in this case
But there will be no problem to delete the old image (right mouse click on the image in the Library)
Try it,
Lilybiri

Elements 10 canvas not working with tiff images; works fine with jpegs. What to do?

Elements 10 canvas not working with tiff images; works fine with jpegs. What to do? It does not allow me to add a colored canvas, only a blank canvas.

Perhaps some of the tiffs are already layers.
In other words, since jpegs don't support layers, they all ways open with one locked background layer, but the tiff format does
support layers so the tiffs don't have to have a locked background layer and can already be a regular layer that supports transparency.
For the tiffs you could add a new color fill layer below and use the color you want the enlarged canvas to be.
On pse 10 look at the bottom of the layers panel for the new adjustment of fill layer icon

FF36: Sites with background image flickers/flashes when going back to tab after 2 minutes.

Figure I'll mention this here as well.
When viewing websites with background images, such as twitter.com or my own website at www.markheadrick.com and I change to another tab for 2 minutes (this amount of time is repeatable anyway) I get a flicker of a black background before the page is fully drawn. If I have multiple tabs with the same background image, only the first tab will show the flicker. It's like it's loosing the image in memory or something. It has done this with Firefox in Safe Mode and with a new, clean profile. It has also done this with Hardware Acceleration off.
Windows 7 Pro 64bit w/ NVidia 550ti and 314.22 drivers. Newer drivers are more problematic which is why I have stayed with these.
Again, only pages with background images seem to show this flicker. Did not happen with Firefox 35 on my system.
I created a bug for it here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1137082
Thanks,
Mark H

Have discovered how to split visual and audio tracks. However the cut away only seems to work with still images from iPhoto!

trying to cut away from one video clip to a second one, while keeping the original sound track, works with still images imported from iPhoto, but cant get the video to drag/drop. please help thanks

Drag clip over target, green plus sign appears.........clip appears at front of video, no menu option appears,
OK that sounds correct. Just to clarify, when the sign appears, as you release the mouse button (or whatever you are using), no menu pops up but the clip immediately positions itself:
at the front of the target clip, OR
at the very beginning of your project
Not sure where I'm heading here, just trying to get the complete picture.
I di it once, but not again, do i need to double click/right click or something?
No, there is no double-click or right-click involved at all. Just drag and drop, then select from the pop-up menu. You should be able to repeat this with no issues. I've also tested dropping video onto a still picture - the cutaway works on that as well.
Something is definitely not working correctly - strange! Quit iMovie, then try deleting the preference file as I described in my last post. Quitting and relaunching iMovie might even fix it. Also, try restarting your Mac - that sometimes helps.

Crash While Working With an Image Sequence

So I am working with an image sequence in my timeline and every time I touch that clip (either to render it or move it) Premiere crashes.
I am working on an iMac with 32 GB of Ram with OS X 10.10.3 installed. I recently upgraded from Premiere Pro CS6 to CC and since
then I am unable to work with it.

It seems to happen when I am not using any tools. When I have a photo open for any purpose.
It occurs with no input. I fix it by zooming back to where I was.
I am not working with a tablet. I am not working with a mouse.
I will need to look up these preferences. I did not know they existed.

Working with grey images

Hey guys, got a new question for you. I'm working with grey images from an old newspaper in the 40's in photoshop, originally the format was working gray - dot gain 20%. My question is since this is a gray image with no cmyk to be found, what would you suggest would be the ideal format so that when these images are sent to the printer they will come out looking good? Thanks in advance guys.
Jason

What I'm doing for JPEGs:
72 ppi at current size
144 ppi at half size
215 ppi at 1/3 size
288 ppi at 1/4 size
and even lower if I can get the images that small, but these are intended for a small brochure so I figure they will be okay at around 1 inch wide per placed image in indesign.

When working with aRGB images, what changes must be made when printing?

Working in the Adobe RGB color space requires that all components in the chain (camera, software, monitor, printer) be able to handle aRGB. When printing from Photoshop Elements, what changes (if any) need to be made at printing time?

Thanks Michel.
I knew about the "more options" dialog box and use it regularly to set
ICC profiles for my Canon Pro9500 Mark II printer, ensuring also that
"Photoshop Elements manages colors". I could have asked the question
better perhaps: "When working with aRGB images, how can I set both an
ICC printer profile for a specific paper and ensure that printer uses
the aRGB color space?". As far as I can tell, you can set an aRGB
profile (either in Photoshop or at the level of the printer), but you
can't use both the aRGB profile and an ICC paper profile at the same
time. I am assuming that you can't set an ICC profile for the paper in
Photoshop Elements and at the same time use the printer's aRGB driver.
Is that right?
Craig.

Working with RAW images without lens profile?

Does it make sense to work on RAW images if no lens profile exist for the used specific lens?
I see clear differences between RAW and JPG image in means of distortion.
How did you work with RAW images?

There are many advantages to using RAW, so yes it makes sense to work on RAW images even if no profile exists for the lens.
I see clear differences between RAW and JPG image in means of distortion.
How did you work with RAW images?
You can create your own lens profiles. Or you can manually adjust each image. Or you can set up presets for different focal lengths. There's a lot of ways to go.

Vertical tabbed panel with background image

Hi all,
I have a working vertical tabbed panel. For the text that's shown, there's a background image assigned to the associated DIV.
However...
The background image that's shown is clipped to the bottom of the text.
In other words, if I have 3 lines of text, the bottom of the background image only goes as far down as the bottom line of text. In order to show the entire image, I have to put in a lot of </ br> tags for "empty" text, not a very good approach.
More of the backgound will show if I increase the text text size via the browser.
To try to describe this more accurately,
Let's say I have a background image that's 600 px in height, but the lines of text only measure to 400px. That means that the bottom 200 px of the image doesn't show, unless I add more lines of text.
Hoping someone has an answer!
Thanks,
Jerry

Gramps,
Again, thanks for your time. While we're now full time commercial photographers (http://www.jerryandlois.com), I was a software engineer for some 20+ years in an earlier life, all on the application side of things. Not really any appreciable time with website stuff.
There are a few more tech/how-to questions I have that are specific to CSS, in terms of polishing up the small site I'm working on. However these are not SPRY related, unless SPRY can solve this for me.
In particular, suppose I have a large block with a background image and a body of text. I want to ensure the text wraps around the image, rather than being a complete overlay where the text can collide with the main body of the photo.
Example:
http://jerryandloisstudios.com/about.html
The issue is that the text is resizable, by design of course. Is there any way to manage these two elements (text and image) so they get along the right way? We want the text to overlay some of the image, but only on the periphery, if that makes sense. So far, the only solution I've seen is to keep the text formatted roughly in a column so that if its size increases all will still be OK. But... artistically that just doesn't look right.
If you're up for it, I'd certainly welcome a private email thread, unless others can also benefit from the rather newbie questions I'm raising: [email protected]
Again, thank you for your help!!!
Jerry

Firefox scrolls slowly on websites with background images.

I find that when I go to websites that have background images, such as my tumblr (deshaunic.us) or the call of duty websites (http://www.callofduty.com/missions), scrolling is very slow and stutters, even though I have smooth scrolling enabled.
I have not had such issues with IE. I also have not had these issues on a different machine running Firefox 4 beta.

A workaround is to use a bookmarklet to make the background scroll.<br />
This code may not work on all sites, only if the background image is attached to the body.
<pre><nowiki>javascript:void(document.body.style.backgroundAttachment='scroll');</nowiki></pre>

Working with Still Images in a Video

Let's say I'd like to use a RAW still Image from my 40D Canon, which is 3888 x 2592, a 3:2 aspect ratio. I'm inserting it into a HD video, 720p, at a 16:9 ratio (1.0). I'd like to keep it large initially so I can pan or zoom in or out as desired. What's my workflow?: If I "Scale to Frame" it fits top to bottom but not laterally. If I show it in the monitor at 100%, it's much too large (but good for panning etc). How do you folks handle this, to work with the Ken Burns effects, keeping the frame aspect ratio correct, and keeping image quality good?
kdoc

That helps to a great extent: thanks Bill and everyone. A few thoughts and questions in follow up. I don't see under preferences anything about Scale to Frame Size (where is it in PrP/CS5?), but it does seem to come in by default not scaled. By right clicking the clip on the timeline on a PC I get the option to check or uncheck that possibility.
I also don't see Effects/Motion/Scale: where is that?
If I want to show my entire photo, as I originally worked it in Photoshop, I guess I need to then check Scale to Frame Size. And of course it doesn't fill the 16:9 aspect ratio laterally, even in landscape orientation, certainly not in portrait orientation. Do you leave it as is, with black margins, and/or do you crop to 16:9 in Photoshop before bringing it in the PrP to eliminate the black margins? (Bill has addressed this in his previous post). I'm gathering that if you don't want any black to show, a 3:2 DSLR Image within on a High Def (say 1280x720) video requires cropping. Do you folks crop in PS when resizing--you can't batch that. I see that Bill sometimes puts a new background behind, to eliminate the black margins.
Where in PS do you set pixel aspect ratio: I can't find it, though I only looked in PSx64, and not in PS x32? Actually I don't think one needs to answer this in PrP CS5: the image seems to come into PrP with the correct aspect ratio--for my Canon 40D RAW images it comes in at 3888x2592 (1.0) if I'm editing for a 1280x720 HD DSLR. I can convert my image to a PSD file in PS as Bill suggests (TIFF will work too).
I'm thinking that the new CS5 with Mercury Playback and 64 bits may handle these larger RAW images fine--but time will tell.
I don't quite get what Scale to Frame Size does (it seems to keep the height at full frame, and the frame aspect ratio constrained). or (in the dropdown) Fit vs. 50% or 100% does? Is it changing the actual image dimensions or just those which show up on screen? For example, I made an image in PS exactly 1280 x720 and brought it into a PrP video project which was also 1280x720, but the image overlapped at 100%. It fit the frame perfectly at "Fit" (from the dropdown).???
Remember that in PS, you can handle both portrait and landscape images for resizing with File--Automate--Fit Image. Just use the largest of the two pixel dimensions for both height and width. Or use Image Processor.
Thanks all

Working with Jpeg image

Hello,
I am currently working with a jpeg image in illustrator. I would like to first make the part of the image which is white transparent. When I move this image into the quark file which has a grey background in that particular area I would like for it to show. Secondly, I would like to change the color of a particular part of the image. The image is of a logo and it is hard to use the pen tool on this image. Please help! Thanks
KC

What you are describing would be most easily completed in Photoshop. Illustrator, being a vector-based illustration tool, is not really the correct tool for editing raster images. If you need to use Illustrator because you don't have access to Photoshop, do some research on masking. Masking would probably be the best way to complete what you are wanting to accomplish.

Problem with aligning buttons with background image.

Dear all,
Just an introduction, I am a newbie to dreamweaver and currently hopelessly lost in solving some problems, and wish to seek your advice and help here.
I am creating a webpage with a background that shows a line across near the top of the site. I placed an image with the line as background under the page properties. I am placing buttons on that line, so when I mouse over the buttons, the part of the line above the buttons will darken, showing that the button has been selected.
The image of the buttons include the darken lines and the words. I can align the button lines with the background line when viewing the site in 100%, but on other resolutions or if I zoom in 125% or 150%, the lines are not aligned.
Here is a picture of my dreamweaver working area, where I manually adjust the buttons to align with the background line. The button lines are already not aligned here, but they look aligned on site in 100%.
[IMG]http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l614/artbox11/pic1.jpg[/IMG]
Here are how the lines look at 150%. The arrows show where the button lines are not aligned with the background image line.
[IMG]http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l614/artbox11/pic2.jpg[/IMG]
Can anyone advise how I can align the button lines with the background image line so that whichever resolution I view the lines will be aligned from side to side? Any tips and advice will be greatly appreciated, as I have been looking around DW for a day now and cannot find out how to fix this.
Thank you!!

Dear Murray, thank you for offering to help, much appreciated.
