[accessibleimage] Re: Fw: help with images.

If you are able to work in Adobe Illustrator and/or Photoshop why don't you
keep the images in that program?  You can then trace your outline drawings,
fill in regions and resize at will.  If you work in layers you can separate
out any and all information that you have created. You can turn on and off
the layer images you want to print out but resize all at once. Have you
tried this?  When you are finished you can then save in a format you can
work with. Ann

Good afternoon all,

I know that this is a list for blind programmers, but I'm taking a stab that
given the amount of knowledge on this list someone can crack this one for
me.

Ok here's what I'm trying to do.  Imagine that you have created a diagram in
something like Corelle Draw, or Visio or one of the adobe products.  You
save this as a BMP, Jpeg, Gif or other commonly used format.  Then, you pull
this into my application and effectively draw on top of it marking the
regions which you deem important.  To each of the marked regions, you can
then add textual descriptions (for playback using a speech synth) or MP3
audio.

Now here's the thing.  How does one keep the image and the marked region in
sync?  I have an image, and then lists of regions that I deem to be
important; but they are separate entities.  So if I resize the image, the
marked regions don't automatically resize.  (this also has implications when
we come to print the diagram on swell paper).

So my questions are:

1.  am I going about this the right way?
2.  do you have any ideas of how to keep the image and marked regions in
sync.

Guys any help you can give with this one will be very much appreciated, I'm
at a loss as to how to proceed.
