Image Master Software

[Suk Harian]

Havemade several attempts to update an image in a master page div when switching between content pages. I first tried creating a master page property that I could update from the content page's Page Load event by declaring "MasterType VirtualPath=", but since the master is already loaded by this time it wasn't going to work. It did work when I set the ImageUrl in the master page's page load event (if !Page.IsPostBack then set the image's url attrib), so I know it can work, but I need the image to change for every content page I visit.

Then I tried using the master's menu button click events to set the ImageUrl before loading the content page but this also had no effect. I saw a thread suggesting the use of an UpdatePanel to hold the image, so I may try that next. What's the best way to do this..??

I wouldn't be surprised if a better way is to have the image in a content div instead, and updating that from the master. Any suggestions or links would be most welcome. I can post code if anyone would like to have a look. thanks.

Possible exception is Null Reference when the name of the image control specified in .FindControl could not be found. Make sure it's exactly as you named it in the Master Page. And to prevent a Null Reference Exception, wrap a check around

Hi, i put 80 images S1A in the Stack overview. It select 20170429 as master. I have used another sofware with same dataset. The software applied orbit first to all images. Then it select 20161112 as master. Is it because of the orbit or different software have different ways to decide the master?

In PowerPoint, when you put in an image placeholder and upload an image there, PowerPoint cuts the picture so it fits into the placeholder shape. I am trying to find a way to do the same thing in Storyline 2 but am not having any luck. I have tried to look around for an answer but haven't found anything that worked. Any suggestions would be helpful.

With the Slide Master image placeholder, your image will resize to fit the length or width of the placeholder. For example, Storyline won't stretch or skew landscape-style image to fit into a portrait-style placeholder. Instead, the image will resize down to fit the width of the placeholder.

Another option is to insert a shape on your slide that will serve as an image placeholder. Then, right-click the shape and select Format Shape. On the Fill tab, select Picture or texture fill and insert your image there. With this option, the picture will appear on the slide in the with the same dimensions as the shape without being resized. I hope this helps!

is there a way to use this workaround in a Master Slide?

The problem is, that I can't "reach" the option if the shape is part of the Master Slide.

I need my slides to have the same layout and as S. has already pointed out, SL cuts the images if they don't fit in height...

Like you mentioned, the image placeholder on the Master slide will cut the image to fit the height, but I can see how locking the image to it's original size within the placeholder would make your life easier!

Delete your anchored frames. Put the cursor outside all the text boxes and import the file again, this time specifying by Copy. Drag it and drop it where you want it. If it overlaps the header / footer text, set the Runaround property so it doesn't obscure text.

The OP had placed the image within the body text frame (NOT a frame for background text like e.g. page numbers) on the master page. Everything that's within the master page's body text frame will not show up on the body pages. Placing the image outside of the frame (by clicking outside the frame before importing) makes the image a part of the master page, thus visible on the body pages.

But what do you do if you need a background image on the whole page with full bleeds behind all text on both the master and body pages? We are designing a product catalog and they want a background image on each page behind the product graphic frames.

You may want to do the additional check of making sure you set the graphic to "Send To Back." (Sorry, Bernd, I understand your point on this, but I disagree because iin my experience Import by Reference doesn't always work here... not sure why not, but... . ;- )

When you generate the PDF for the printer, you or they can crop to the bleed size as needed. If you are printing, I'd let the printer do that, 'cause you don't know the printer's processes and equipment.

it's OK. I haven't found a difference yet, but I rarely use background images. Whenever I did, they were always referenced. But if this is your experience, it's good to know why things might probably fail.

Be aware that most inkjet- and toner-based printers will leave the outer .125" blank on 3 sides, and leave .25" blank on the side that draws the paper thru the printer (referred to as the "gripper"). You'll do well to recognize these limits in placing images and content out near the end of the page. I'd recommend no less than .25" blank space around all 4 sides, unless printing "to bleed" as Mike discussed above.

This works exactly as described above. You can use images larger than the page, covering the whole background. It works perfectly, as long as the image isn't anchored within the body text frame on the master page.

Thanks! This is extremely helpful. I'm just beginnig this project and I'm still in the template design stage. It's my first Framemaker project (I used InDesign on the last one), so the learning curve is steep.

Although there are differences between InDesign's and FrameMaker's master page behaviors, in this case the master page behavior is the same. In FrameMaker, on a master page, select nothing (click in a blank page area outside any text frames*) and use File > Import > File > Import by Reference, and browse to the graphic. In InDesign, on a master page, select nothing (Cmd/Ctrl+A or click a blank page area outside any text frames**) and use File > Place and browse to the graphic.

FrameMaker has no layers like InDesign's, but it does have a stacking order on its only layer. The last-added item - text frame or a graphic object that's not in the text flow - is on the top of the stack, and it's selected when you first import it. You can use Graphics > Send to Back to assure that the object is at the bottom of the stack.

If you need the same graphic on more than one document page, use a master page with the graphic on it; FrameMaker can make up to 100 master pages per document. There's even a command that can apply a specified master page to all body pages that contain a specified paragraph format (aka ID paragraph style) if the paragraph isn't in a table. Search Help for assign master page.

If you need a different graphic on every body page, it's the same as importing to a master page - select nothing, then File > Import > File > Import by Reference, and browse. Then send the graphic to the back. If text goes crazy, check runaround properties.

If there are many graphics, InDesign's Data Merge, or a script, might be helpful in creating the many pages with background graphics quickly. FrameMaker currently has no practical data merge or script option, though the commercial third-party FrameScript utility can provide scripted operations. You can write your own, purchase existing or custom scripts, and even find some free ones.

This is also very helpful. We will have a group of master pages, each with its own background image depending on the content (e.g. cylinder part numbers will have a cylinder image, pump part numbers will have a pump image, etc). With 24 expected chapters it will fit well within the 100 master page limit.

I want to create a master page with a placeholder that its position is locked, so that when used I can drop an image in its place and the image can be moved but the frame fixed. So dimensions and place on the document cannot be moved or altered only the actual image can be adjusted.

I can lock it exactly as it says above, when I get to the document page I have then selected Override All Master Page items, I can see that it is editable (--- to a solid line) and it is locked. But nothing can be pasted in to the placeholder. It only places it self where I click so above the place holder.

For what it's worth, I'm getting the same results, Mattmcquiff. If the graphic placeholder frame is locked on the master page, I cannot add an image to it on a body page, and I cannot Cmd Sh click to override it. Pages panel menu > Override all Master Page items isn't helping, either. I tried on CC 2017 and CS6, same results.

Since I can do it easily on CS6, Win7 and CC2017, Win10. No difference: with locked graphic placeholder frame on the master page, add an image to it on a body page (overridden or not, via Place or drag'n'drop), override it with Ctrl+Shift+click or Override All Master Page Items command (but it's not necessary) ... All this just works here.

You can add an image (sometimes transparent and called a watermark) to the slide master so that it appears on every slide in the presentation. For example, you might have a company logo that you want to include on every slide.

In the Slide Master view, in the thumbnail pane on the left, click the slide layout or layouts that you want to add a picture background to. (To multi-select, hold down the Shift key while you make your selections.)
