Links in images in photoshop? - image

I don't think this is possible, but is there any way you can put a link in an image? I'm not talking about HTML. Literally in an image. Maybe when you put text in Photoshop there is a way to make that text a link? I don't know.
Is there a way to do this?

Step 1
Press "C" to select the Slice tool. Choose a slice style in the Options bar. In the default Normal mode, you click and drag on your document image area to create slices. Enter numeric proportions to create a height-to-width ratio for the Fixed Aspect Ratio style. Note that these values don't represent actual dimensions. To enter specific slice measurements, choose "Fixed Size" style.
Step 2
Click and drag on your document to create slices. If you've added guide rules to your image, click on the "Slices From Guides" check box in the Options bar so Photoshop automatically creates slices following your guides.
Step 3
Press "Shift-C" to switch to the Slice Select tool. Because it's nested with the Slice tool and shares the same keyboard shortcut, you need to use a modifier key to cycle from tool to nested tool.
Step 4
Double-click on the slice to which you want to assign the URL, opening the Slice Options dialog box. Type or paste your URL into the URL data-entry field, using either relative or full URL format. A relative URL loads a location that's within the site that contains the link. An absolute URL starts with "http://" and includes the full link to a page, which usually loads from another website.
Step 5
Specify a page-loading location in the Target entry field. To open a new browser window for the page you're loading, enter "_blank" without the quotation marks. To replace the current page content with the new page, enter "_self" without the quotation marks.
Step 6
Generate the HTML code that underlies the link you added. Open the "File" menu and choose "Save for Web & Devices" to access Photoshop's optimization and export capabilities. Once you choose image output settings and click on the "Save" button, you enter the Save Optimized As dialog box. Set the Format to include HTML in your file export and select HTML options.

How to move from Title box to Content box without mouse?

I create a new slide (Ctrl+m).
The layout by default is Title + Content.
I edit the title slide and now want to move to the content textbox.
How can I do this without my mouse?
Nutshell answer:
Hit ESC, then TAB key.
Short answer:
After typing your text into the Title placeholder, hit ESC to exit editing.
Then hit the TAB key to move to the next object. (If that is not the Content placeholder, continue hitting TAB until the desired object is selected.)
Start typing to enter your text.
Extended answer:
Hit Ctrl+m to create a new slide that uses the same Layout as the current one.
Hit the TAB key to go to the first object on the slide. (This is the back-most object on your slide; the one on the bottom in the Selection Pane list. If the designer of the Layout did a good job, this is the Title placeholder. If not, keep hitting TAB until the desired object is selected.)
Start typing your text. (If you edit an existing slide and there is already text contained in the shape, simply starting to type will append text at the end. If you want to replace the existing text, hit the return/enter key before starting to type. That will select all contained text, so it will be overwritten when you start typing.)
When finished entering your text, hit the ESC button (to exit edit mode and have the actual shape selected), and hit the TAB key to go to the next object – i.e. the second-lowest one. (Again, if the designer did a good job, this will be your Content placeholder. If not, continue hitting TAB.)
Go to step 3 to continue with the next object.
After typing the title text, press CTRL + M to put the cursor in the content placeholder.

How do I tell PowerPoint to map two placeholders when switching slide layouts?

I start with a working example:
Open PowerPoint with a blank presentation.
Right-click the title slide and choose "Layout - Title and Content".
You see "• Click to add text"? Click and add some text.
Right-click the slide again and choose "Layout - Two Content".
See how smart PowerPoint can be?
The text you entered in the single placeholder before is now in one the of two placeholders.
Specifically, the left one.
My questions:
Why? (And not in an extra one?)
Why? (And not in the right one?)
My questions arises because I have received a set of master slides in which the above is not working, and I am trying to repair it without having to regenerate everything.
This is a site for programming issues, but the background behind this issue might be sufficiently complex. Modern PowerPoint files are XML. In the XML for each slide layout, each placeholder has an idx reference number. PowerPoint uses these on numbers to decide where to place content.
Lazy Designer Syndrome is the cause of what you're seeing. Instead of creating new placeholders in order, so the idx numbers would increment in a logical order, the designer has copied and pasted placeholders to avoid extra formatting work. The pasted placeholders all have the same idx number. As a result, PowerPoint has no idea of placeholder order and inserts content randomly.
This isn't always easy to solve without editing the XML, but you can try deleting all but the leftmost placeholder. Then create new placeholders by inserting them one at a time and reformatting them manually to match the first.
At first my attempts to follow the above failed, but now I got it working as well.
There are two different, but similar tags, id="" and idx="".
All objects in the slide has an id="" tag, this is not the tag to solve this problem.
The idx="" tag is only on Placeholder objects, except the those of Type=Title.
As described above you can set it to an integer value 1 and greater (I assume).
Make a plan for what Placeholder objects should be replaced across your layouts. I think of these as "groups" or "families", then assign the idx-values consistently throughout your slide layouts.
These "groups" or "families" of placeholders needs to be compatible for this to work, i.e. matching Type. The absence of Type means the placeholder is a general Content Type and match all Types.
During layout change, if Placeholders has incompatible Type while having the same idx-tag, PPT will look for the next Placeholder with matching Type.
#JohnKorchok's accepted answer provides the technical details for the procedure described here. Note that I only had "Content Placeholders" in my presentation.
Install 7-Zip and your favorite text editor (you can use one with an XML formatter, which will simplify things, but it's not required).
Open your file.pptx in 7-Zip (no need to rename to .zip, just right-click and "Open Archive")
Navigate to ppt/slideLayouts.
See a list of slideLayout....xml files.
Identify the ones you want to edit, e.g., by opening each one and looking for <p:cSld name. (The numbers may be indicative only of the order the layouts have been created, not of the order in which they are now shown in PowerPoint - although saving a .pptx files in PowerPoint 2016 does modify the slide layouts for me so that the display order matches the file name numbers.)
Look for <p:ph until you find the ones you want to edit. You probably want to ignore the ones with type="title", type="ftr", type="sldNum".
Change the idx of all other placeholders to 1, 2, ... in the order in which you want them filled (use the <p:cNvPr ... name= to identify the placeholders).
Save the .xml files, close your editor, and be asked by 7-Zip to update the archive. Answer "Yes".
So I set the idx to 1 for the one placeholder in my 1-content layout, to 1 for the left placeholder in my 2-content layout, and to 2 for the right placeholder in my 2-content layout.

Form under toolbar, can't get it down

The top of the form container is "up" under the toolbar. I can't find out how to get it down so that I can move the form to different areas on the screen. Using VB6.
Just remove -or rename- the (.vbw) file, that would reset window size & location.. Good luck :)
Edit:
You can also open the file with any text editor and change the form container position (in case you want to maintain the other settings
Click the form then Alt+- (hyphen) to open the MDI child forms default menu, hit M for the Move item and you can use the arrow keys (or mouse iirc) to move it around.

Enterprise Architect - simple UI Tab Control

Is it possible to change number of tabs and tabs name in simple UI Tab Control? How to do it? (user interface diagram)
I'm using EA 11.
No. Tab 1 | Tab 2 | Tab 3 is part of the element's image and you can't change them. There is a workaround which works visually, but won't help if you're looking to generate code out of your models.
Create a Text element (in the Common toolbox), and give it the name of your GUI's first tab.
Set a different default fill and text color for the Text element (Right-click and select Appearence - Default Appearance).
Pick the Fill and Border Color for the Text element that best matches the Tab Control's foreground, either in the diagram toolbar or the Text element's context menu.
Move and resize the Text element to cover Tab 1.
Repeat as necessary for the other tabs, using the appropriate color.
The Text elements are local to the diagram they're in and are not shown in the project browser (they are diagram objects but not proper model elements), but they move with the Tab Control so it works visually.
By making several copies of the Tab Control and varying which Text element has the foreground color, you can use this technique to show the different panes.
You can change number of tabs and selected tab this way (at least in EA 13):
Open Properties of the Tab Control;
In "General" select "Wireframing" tab. You'll see "Tabs" property with a value "Tab1";
Select this "Tabs" property and click on "Notes" menu. An editor appears;
In this editor you can change number of names of tabs;
Close editor and for "Tabs" property choose selected Tab;

Take full localhost webpage screenshot (Firefox, Windows)?

I need to take a full screenshot of a localhost page I'm working on. Print Screen button offers me no solution to this nor the Alt-Print Screen does, as they take only what is displayed on the screen. I need the shot of the full page.
I tried with some online services and a couple of add-ons for Firefox to no avail since they cannot reach any localhost addess or are not compatible with FF 29.
Is there a way I can achieve this?
I'll answer my own question.
Forget about add-ons. You can do it via the browser's built-in Developer's Toolbar commands.
Press Shift+F2 and to bring the toolbar up at the bottom of the screen.
Type: screenshot file --fullpage
You will be asked for a location to sav your screenshot in .png format (e.g. file.png).
You can also omit the file name if you don't want the image to be saved and rather send it to the clipboard: - screenshot --fullpage --clipboard
Type screenshot help to see more interesting options.
The Firefox source docs tell how to take a screenshot with the developer tools
Using the screenshot icon
By default, the screenshot icon is not enabled. To enable it:
visit the Settings page
find the section labeled “Available Toolbox Buttons”
check the box labeled “Take a screenshot of the entire page”.
Using the screenshot command
Type :screenshot in the Web Console to create a screenshot of the
current page. By default, the image file will be named Screen Shot
yyy-mm-dd at hh.mm.ss.png.

The number of seconds to delay before taking the screenshot; you can use an integer or floating point number. This is useful if you want to pop open a menu or invoke a hover state for the screenshot.
--dpr
number
The device pixel ratio to use when taking the screenshot. Values above 1 yield “zoomed-in” images, whereas values below 1 create “zoomed-out” images.
--file
boolean
When present, the screenshot will be saved to a file, even if other options (e.g. --clipboard) are included.
--filename
string
The name to use in saving the file. The file should have a “.png” extension.
