With Photoshop I have multiple web banners at different sizes that contain the same image. Is there a way to change the image on one psd file so that it will automatically change on all the other psd files?
I'm using Creative Cloud
Any help will be really appreciated
Thanks
Create the banner in the biggest size
Right click the layer and choose Convert to smart object
Create a new document with next banner measurements. Go back to the already created banner and use the move tool (v) and drag the layer/layers in to the new document.
If you now doubleclick your smart object (doesnt matter in which document) you will open a new document. If you make any changes there it will be changed in both banners.
You can choose more than one layer to become a smart object together. When you double click the smart object you will find all your layers separate but in the banner document it will only show as one file.
This is what the symbol on a smart layer looks like
One option is to use linked smart objects.
If you have photoshop CC you can follow this for instruction on how you'd do it.
(Sorry for the link only answer but it's a video and will make more sense then listing the steps)
if you use Photoshop CC 2014 or 2015 you can place images as linked files, same way as InDesign or HTML docs. Adobe gives now two choices Place Embeded or Place Linked.

Many graphics programs support dynamic clones of objects, i. e., whenever you change anything on the original object, it'll change all clones right away in the same manner. The reason I need this is that I have many copies of one and the same graphic across several slides. Ideally changing one should also alter the others.
Google didn't get me any further. Is someone aware of such a functionality?
When you insert the graphic (via Insert | Picture), choose the picture then click the triangle next to Open and choose either Link to File or Insert and Link.
From then on, if you change the original picture file, PPT will update the graphic within the presentation when you open the PPTX.
Insert and Link is probably the best option; if the linked picture file isn't available, PPT will use the inserted copy of the graphic.

Using the animate package without adobe
I want to create latex beamer presentations without relying on adobe, as it is a pain.
I followed the instructions given in the post's answer, and when compiling the given example code, the output were 4 .svg files, and I have no idea on what to do with them.
Something tells me they should be embedded into an html file that produce a slide-presentation, but I'm a complete noob in html and I've not been able to find an answer on how to achieve this.
No additional wrapper for the individual .svg files is necessary. Simply open the first .svg file in your browser and use the little arrows at the top right for navigation. They automatically link to the next slide.
I am sure it is very simple ... I just cannot get my head around this...
the exist-db Documentation is a bit fuzzy on content extraction...
http://exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/contentextraction.
I have a pdf-file, containing of about 162 high-res images (the pdf is quite big ...) and I do not know how to access any of the that are presumably created ...
please do not destroy me! I am just starting to build a database (for an Edition at Uni)I'd love to have a facsimile edition (so one Tab with the image-file and one tab with the transcribed texts)
I aim at doing something similar to what Heidelberg Universitdy did with the "Welsche Gast Digital" http://digi.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/diglit/cpg389/0190/image
(the choosen image is just an example! )

When clicking on faksimile the Scan opens and when clicking on Transkription the transcribed texts open!
I am quite new to Xquery, Xpath and most X-related stuff. I have a "working design" put together in exist-db and am looking at TEI for marking up the transcritpion etc, I fear I'll have to spend quite some time on this issue ...
(it is not about doing my job for me, it's just about pointing me in the right direction)
I m afraid the short answer is simply don't.
Storing a pdf in your db, and then trying to extract images from it, is kind of a recipe for disaster. Instead you should use the source images (not necessarily extracted from the pdf), and store these individually in a collection (e.g. resources/img). Those image files are then the binary resources that the documentation is actually talking about.
You might want to take a look at tei-publisher for creating digital edition in exist, especially this demo app for how to present high-res facsimiles with transcribed portions of text. I m afraid its all a bit more involved then just opening a pdf in a browser, but so is the Welsche Gast Digital
The main idea: a user creates a powerpoint file with 1 slide, and this slide is inserted into a slideshow which is already looping.
A first idea I had was to convert the .ppt file into an image (e.g. using http://www.artofsolving.com/opensource/jodconverter/ or a .NET API), and then create a flash application which scans a directory for images(/converted slides) to show.
But this seems a bit like a complex solution, any suggestions?
You can achieve this using the insert object feature in PowerPoint.
Choose Insert from file
Select the powerpoint file
Check Link Checkbox
And its done. Any changes in the linked file are reflected in the already looping show. Let me know if you don't get it.
I have a set of really big images out of which I need to crop little snippets. These snippets are all exactly the same size but don't follow a strict pattern so I can't do this programatically.
Ideally I would like to open up one of the big files and be able to point and click on say, the top left corner of a snippet and have that automatically be saved to disk without even having to enter a file name, and then continue on with the rest. (Of course this would be the ideal way which I know is probably way off the real possible way!).
I started doing this in Photoshop CS4 but cropping a snippet, saving, undoing (to get to the full image), and starting over again takes way too long.
Maybe someone has a better way to do this in photoshop or in some other software.
Thanks for reading!
Instead of cropping and undoing, you could:
make (or resize) a selection
copy the selection to a new image
save the image
close the image
You might need to split it into two actions, I don't know enough about programming Photoshop.
Thank you everyone for your input.
I ended up doing this with a suggestion a colleague of mine came up with. It consisted of creating a Photoshop "slice" over the first region I wanted to crop and then cloning that region over the rest of the other sections. After that, using Save For Web (and ofter hitting Continue when PS complained about how that image was way beyond Save For Web's capabilities) I could save all images at once.
This was the fastest and easiest method I could find. Until then I was going with Mark Ransom's method.
