Place images while preserving the effects of shade

Hello

I'm working on a script pre fill works of an internal database, I place images using the following style at the present time.

imgFrameGCL[index] = addFrame(101, 230, 25, 6, '123');
imgFrameGCL[index].place(File("/Projects/IDD Templates/icons/gcl.ai"), false);
imgFrameGCL[index].name = "imgFrameGCL["+index+"]";
imgFrameGCL[index].fit(FitOptions.proportionally);
imgFrameGCL[index].fit(FitOptions.centerContent);

This places the picture very well, the only problem is that these images that I import are ordinary black vectors that can change from one work to the work, how the designers are currently managing this process is by pasting the plain black vector in illustrator and changing the color by swapping the nuance.

With the above code, open the images one) in the form of links, b) inside a text frame the swatch option is not available.

someone could tell how I could integrate these images and have shades applied to them?

Thank you

Hi Paul,.

You can not color chart placed in InDesign. This isn't a feature with InDesign.

You can only color gray scale or 1-bit pixel images without transparency.

(And that includes images PhotoShop pixel in grey stored with a layer of background only! The one where the name is italicized in the Panel layers in PhotoShop. )

To work around this problem with the tracks, you could cross-programming InDesign with Adobe Illustrator and paste tracks. Just like the designer done now.

But it's not sure either. Many things can go wrong sticking traces Illustrator in InDesign. Missing paths. Too complex paths. Changes in the alignment of the race. Etc.pp.

The best would be Adobe Illustrator script to open a placed graphic HERE, do the work of color in Illustrator by the script, save a new file to HERE and replace the old, one placed in InDesign.

If it is possible to script Illustrator to the extent you want, I can't say.

  • Replace color while preserving the details

    Hello. I'm new to this community and wish to ask a question on, specifically the removal of tattoos, but it would apply to any replacement color. I have a picture of a lady who has a large tattoo on his back. This covers his shoulder blades, and there's shadow and light on its back, which is also covered by the tattoo.

    How can I change the color of the skin around the tattoo while maintaining the depth / shadow and texture in detail.

    Thank you very much

    David

    I tried to use a different approach, the gradient tool...

    1 use the pipette to set the foreground color to the part lighter of his right shoulder (RGB 236,220,220) and set the background color to the darker part of his left shoulder (RGB 200,141,111).

    2. roughly selected tattoo and feathered the selection 3 px.

    3 activate the gradient with the first options plan background and gradient tool linear. Called the gradient from bottom to top, left, right as shown here:

    The Gradient takes a lot of trial and error: where starts and ends at the line, that the foreground/background colors work best.

    Here is the result:

    Then, I used the Clone tool to illuminate the excessive shadow on the right side.

    Also added some shots more in the middle of his back with the brush with large brush (50px) tool and the same background color but a low opacity (50%). You can still change by painting the skin tone clear or dark as you wish.

    Here is the result:

    Since the Gradient is inspired by solid colors it destroys existing contour, texture, spots of birth, etc. You can restore certain contour by painting as I did above. If the skin appears too smooth you can try to apply the noise filter on the same area. Here I used a $ 1.

  • How can I place image everywhere outside the brochure?

    I am currently engaged in my annual task of designing a booklet from A5 24 pages using folded A4 paper. All internal portrait mode A5 pages (pages 2-23) are monochromatic and have been created in InDesign CS6, while the outer skin of color (pp. 1-24) was designed as a single page A4 landscape in Adobe Illustrator CS6. This allows graphic images to flow seamlessly between the cover and the back cover.

    My normal practice has been to print this book myself, using a for the contents of the color inkjet printer and a printer monochrome laser for all the rest. I print directly starting from Illustrator for the outer double staggered and use InDesign "print booklet" for all internal pages.

    This year, I seriously think the brochure produced by a printer, who would use a printer laser color for the entire booklet. So, I want to merge the Illustrator illustration in my Indesign file so that I can generate a single PDF file for sending to the printer.

    I guess there is a simple way to import the artwork into InDesign, but so far I could not find a way to put a file on several pages 1 and 24. Any help would be appreciated.

    David

    Place and position as you want on page 1 (leaving the full frame), and then copy and paste in place on page 24. Harvest to the spine on both pages.

    OR

    Shuffle off page 1 spread, then do slide page 24 up next in the Pages panel and place the art at once. If you do this, I would move the last page back in the PDF file after export.

  • automate the changing images while retaining the page layout

    First of all I'm a complete noob to InDesign I have to load several pictures on a model separately (product shots if its just a pic at a time) after googling ID, I realized sizing questions has been the best program to keep all the images the same size in a framework is possible to automate the process of loading the images instead of me having to do it manually one by one?

    If your model has graphic empty placeholder frames for your photos, you can select several photos at once in the Place dialog box (file > Place). Then you will get thumbnails for each of them in your cursor placement, and you can move your cursor over each placeholder image, click to place, move to the next, click, etc.

    When you have a cursor with several images loaded, it will display a number (the number of remaining pictures). You can browse the images in your cursor with the arrow keys (left arrow, right arrow).

  • How to create multiple thumbnail images while creating the Image assets

    Hi all!


    I have a requirement to create several thumbnail images (of different sizes), while creating new assets of image. These vignettes must be associated with different attributes after the recording of assets. I thought you used miniature filter, but I read that it uses a library of swing, it's very very inefficient memory-wise and we can experience the memory leak and crashes with only a very limited number of images... Another solution is to set up the filter citing ImageMagick with a system exec: it's fast, it does not have the memory and it also generates a much greater quality of thumbnail image resizer that comes with swing.


    What do you think, and how can I implement this?


    Thank you very much!

    Hello Elena,

    We noticed some performance issues in our current client, so we changed the miniature filter by default:

    A temporary file is no longer used for the input image. The source image is used directly, because it is not changed by the thumbnail generator.

    This avoids some performance issues, we have detected. First of all, because of the way the image has been copied (a byte is read and written each time), and second, because of some file systems environments run badly.

    In addition, it relies on "deleteOnExit", which can produce an impact on the performance of the application server, as the JAVA virtual machine must maintain a list of files to delete when leaving, and which consumes memory. It is even more problematic on servers that are not restarted very often.  And if at the end the application server is not normally off, these files would not be removed.

    On the other hand it seems that the thumbnail generator is not necessary that the image source file ends with the extension of the right.

    Now we use the provided source image directly, it's a ".tmp" instead of a file (for example) the file ".gif".

    It will be useful,

  • Put a file while preserving the exact size

    Hello!

    I can't seem to get this right regardless of why I tried:

    I have a file png exported from Blender to the 1024 x 1024 resolution.

    I want to place it in an Illustrator file, keep the size exactly the same thing, do work in Illustrator and export it back to Blender. In this workflow, I need the rest exactly the same size.

    How can I achieve this in Illustrator?

    In case it helps to understand my problem, I also did a short video to illustrate:

    http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=fO8tD6JFjyY

    Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

    See here.

    This is the setting of the image size in Photoshop:

    (If you are using pixels per centimeter instead of pixels per inch in Photoshop?

    I've seen people make that mistake.)

    And it's the same file placed in Illie. Info says that it's exactly the same size.

    If you do exactly this kind of things you can not go wrong.

    Update. I downloaded your "http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/275/testfileb.png" file and it is in 150.012 ppi, not 72 dpi

I can re partition on my hard drive (C drive to shrink and make additional Partition) by using the HP recovery.

    I've already answered your question. Create the first recovery CD using the recovery manager from the start menu, then after this attempt to start in disc1 to check that the discs work, then do what you want with your partitions. Depending on the age of the computer, you can even contact HP to order a set of recovery media.

  • What is the best way to make a PDF file several Photoshop images, while maintaining editable layers?

    What is the best way to make a PDF file several Photoshop images, while retaining the layers in editable for later use mode? I tried to do in Acrobat, but it does not keep separate layers. I also tried to automate the PDF presentation in Photoshop, but it combines the layers as well. I need to enable layers from photoshop retain their ability to be edited.

    It is not possible at this time, Photoshop is not a page layout program and pdf is hardly a format suitable to hold several files psd layered or editable page layouts.

    Of course, you must define your own strategies for these questions according to your needs. Sure raster image data, excess will swell your files unnecessarily, but according to the availability of extra storage space in your computing environment and your ultimate output intent, may not be worth the extra time and effort for the goal-size things in Photoshop before placement. Only you can decide that priority. If the images are 'of the web and Pinterest', chances are, they are already low-resolution, and you would not shave number of bytes out of them anyway.

    Or can I use object > rasterize > and choose the resolution/ppi to do the same thing?

    N ° which is designed for elements vector rasterize at your chosen resolution. It will not change the resolution to something that is already rasterized.
