Line image with transparent background

pideja · 2015-03-06 22:11:31

I want to place a line image (black on a transparent background) in the grid of a CE4 Page layout. How can I do this if Lightroom only saves jpeg rather than png? Can I use a tiff instead or will Lightroom convert it to jpeg?

I'm not clear in what you're after. You want a line in the grid itself or are you after a black line across the thumbnail images in the grid?

If it's images, you could just use watermarking

the web module only converts images to jpg

LR5 supports PNG, and I believe should export PNG files from the Web module unmodified.

Thank you.

I solved the problem by not showing the masthead and by placing a graphic ID within the Content/Description area of the page.
(In the test version it's a bit large, but I'll reduce it later...)

I do not display the grid.

Also, as per Rod's suggestion in another post I filed this morning, I reduced the break point down to 300px. This solved my navigation menu issue in pad and mobile formats.

Lots of tweaking to do before it's comlplete, but beguining to see how CE4 is a ig improvement.

Thank you Matthew and Rod.

Well, it's been another frustrating week. Things I need to get straight:
Is it better to use only one php plugins folder to house the php file and CSS that would control aspects of all the pages in a site?
(My site is structured like this: A portal built in CE4 AutoIndex, with two navigation buttons, each leading to a CE4 Pages that contains CE4 galleries under the appropriate tab)

With the PHP file, I wish to have a the same blurred background image under every page.
This technique is explained here: http://ce3wiki.theturninggate.net/doku. … ound_image

Also, I want a dynamic masthead in all but the AutoIndex pages.

I've done parts of all these effects previously, in CE3. But I'm trying to learn CE4 while implementing all these effects throughout my site.

Needless to say, I'm getting a plethora of error messages. And I haven't begun to work the new Publisher and the TTG-BE thing.

this might help. One phplugins file to rule them all:

I would use one phplugins file and a separate dynamic_masthead.css for all pages but AutoIndexes:

function ttg_head_end( $style, $path ) { 
    echo '<link rel="stylesheet" href="/phplugins/css/custom.css" />    ';
    if (G_STYLE != 'CE4-AUTOINDEX') {
        echo '<link rel="stylesheet" href="/phplugins/css/dynamic_masthead.css" />    ';
    }
}

In dynamic_masthead.css you would just have the respective CSS code to support the dynamic masthead generation.

Thank you Rod and Daniel.

Will look into this, sure will help.
