Does screen saver degrade jpeg images used

The screen saver app on my iMac uses the images stored in an Aperture library. The images are typically jpeg. Does their display in the screen saver effectively open the image then close the image thus degrading the jpeg file every time this is done?

No. In addition, just opening a computer file almost never degrades it.

  • Hi, I'm in LR changing my picture, and I couldn't find the save button.Does this save a .jpeg somewhere?

    Does this save a .jpeg somewhere?

    The edits you do in LR are non destructive, and are saved automatically to the catalog, so there's no need for a Save button.
    If you need a jpg for a particular purpose, select the image in the Library, and click Export.
    The export dialog lets you fill in size, resolution, color space, sharpening, etc.

  • Save metadata in LR - degrade JPEG image quality?

    Hi:
    Does anyone know whether using the 'save metadata' feature in LR to save changed metadata to a JPEG file will result in a resaving of the entire file and/or otherwise degrade the JPEG image quality? 
    If it does not degrade the image quality, how does this feature work?
    Many thanks for the help

    Each pixel remains unchanged in this process.
    I was under the impression that any re-saving of a jpeg image results in a slight loss of quality, regardless of whether there have been changes to the image
    This is true for other editors, such as Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, but it is not true for Lightroom because, as explained, LR does things differently than other software.

  • Why does screen saver prompt for secure disk image password?

    Okay, seems like an odd problem, but here it goes.
    I go into System Preferences->Dektop & Screen Saver.  As the program "loads" availabe image sources and such I get a pop-up requesting a password to my secure disk image.
    Yes, I have a secure disk image in my home directory.
    Yes, the secure disk image is currently "locked" (Not mounted in finder).
    I click cancel (a few times, probably 2 maybe 3 times) and things continue along fine.
    I select a photo source that I want for a screen save and exit peferences.
    I then go an start the screen saver (I'm using Hot-Corners).
    I get the message "Looking for pictures....." for , well...basically forever...
    Sure enough I touch the mouse to leave my screen saver and there is the pop-up again.  Asking for me to unlock my secure
    disk image.
    I thought this might be related to Spotlight.  I tried reading several threads and have gone as far as taking my entire hard-drive/volume
    and putting it into the "Privacy" tab under spotlight.
    Anybody have any idea on what is going on and how I might get it so the "Desktop & Screen Saver" stop prompting me to unlock my
    secure disk image?  (WITHOUT having to make sure the disk image is unlocked before I sleep my screen or open the screen saver utlity)
    As always, I am only speculating that this is Spotlight related so that could be a red-herring....
    thanks in advance.
    OSX:10.7.3

    Update: i made some progress on this issue.  I found that in the ~/picture/iPhot Library/Database/ directory
    there is a file called Library.apdb.  This file has an entry for the secure disk image i have/had.  I moved the file
    to Libraryapdb.bkup and sure enough, my picture problem went away.  The screen aaver panel no longer prompts
    me to unlock my secure disk image.
    So now the next chapter of my problem;when i open up iPhoto it wants to rebuild my photo library(which makes
    sense and is what i want to haopen) so i allow it.  After about 25 mins it has rebuilt the iPhoto library, but there is
    one problem.  The secure diskimage reference is back in the Library.apdb file that has been recreated!
    So now i need to figure outnhow to get iPhoto to remove anynreference to a phot library i once had on the secure
    disk image but have long since removed.
    I first created an iPhoto library on my secure disk image by holding the option key and invoking iPhoto.
    I removed that library awhile ago....
    So how do i make iPhoto remove a no longer used iPhoto library?

  • IPhoto Screen Saver with ghost images over teh top

    I'm using iPhoto 5 and have the screen saver on my iMac G5 set to play out of my photo album. Just about every 10-15 phots get overlayed with a blurred image from some unknown source. They look like flags but always in a circular shape....not sure where they come from. Anyone else have this experience?

    It is very weird, especially weird that two posters had that happen. I read in your other post about a long quitting time for iPhoto. I do know that my library of 3500 does take awhile to quit, but I have never had to force quit it. by the way, force quitting can damage a data file and cause the library not to open or show your photos.
    I suggest you next do a rebuild.
    Try this:
    Before doing a rebuild make sure iPhoto's trash bin is emptied. You can do this by control clicking on the trash bin, or from the menu bar under iPhoto.
    Close iPhoto
    Duplicate the iPhoto Library folder
    Drag the duplicate to the desktop (hopefully you have enough room on your hard drive for the duplicate.)
    Launch iPhoto holding down the Command and Option keys until you see the rebuild options screen.
    Choose the first three options. If you were missing photos in your library, also choose the last option. Be advised that you will get a roll of orphaned photos and it might be quite huge. Most of them will already be in your iPhoto library, but use caution when deleting anything from this roll until you are sure the photos are still in your library in another place. It might be a good idea to share/export this roll of photos just in case you need to import them again.
    Back to the rebuild, depending on the size of your library it might take some time. When it is done, hopefully your photos will be there.
    You might see some unexpected results as I did when I did a rebuild. Photos had been moved to wrong dates, video clips had lost their duration info and some were even orphaned from the jpg pointer file. It took me some time to straighten it out again.
    This is the reason to make a duplicate before you rebuild, in case you do not like the result. If you don't like the result, close iPhoto, then delete the rebuilt library and drag the duplicate back into the Pictures folder making sure the name is iPhoto Library. Launch iPhoto and it should open the library in the Pictures folder.

  • Webcam capture & save as JPEG image

    Hi,
    I'm creating an application to capture image via webcam using directshow. I've managed to capture the stream using samplegrabber.
    the problem is when I save the grabbed image to a JPEG, the colors are incorrect.
    provided the link of the captured image from the webcam http://www.filefreak.com/pfiles/44160/test2.jpg
    the right hand side of the image should be brown colored, not blue as in the picture.

  • Photo Screen Saver weird random images appear

    When the photo screen saver runs, I get random icons pictures appear on top of good photos. Pictures of Country flags, tiki masks, guitars, and other iconic like pictures show up on hi-res photos. It randomly happens, and I do not have these other pictures stored anywhere on the mac... I know it sounds a little crazy, but does anybody else have this problem?

    This is not isolated to Leopard 10.5.X only.
    I had the same weirdness with 10.4.X.
    The Pictures folder inside your home directory is the root of all your iPhoto pictures database, iChat icons and what ever pictures you put in there.
    If in Screen Saver you chose your Pictures folder then Screen Saver has access to every single picture within that folder. That includes iChat icons and your iPhoto folder.
    Some of the weird pictures I saw came from the iChat icon folder. The pixelated and vertical pictures that you see comes from the iPhoto folder. The pixelated ones are the cashed iPhoto icons and the vertical ones are the original unmodified iPhoto photos. Yes rotating a picture is a modified one.
    Before iPhoto 2008 the contents of the iPhoto folder was viewable by anyone. With iPhoto 2008 the folder looks like a single file. That was most likely to stop inexperienced users from wrecking havoc to there iPhoto database and then complaining about iPhoto.
    I do not remember if the database of iPhoto 2006 is closed or opened and I do not know Screen Saver will have access to the contents of the now closed iPhoto 2008 data file.
    You might still have weird iChat icons, that look like flags, if you chose the Pictures folder.. if default link iChat icons is still there.
    I do not personally use the Screen Saver but I am pretty sure that by choosing an iPhoto folder will fix the weirdness permanently.
    Hope this helps

  • How does screen saver smooth pixelated photos?

    When selecting an album of photos in Screen Saver preferences, I noticed that a small sized photo within the album appeared quite smooth when displayed via the Screen Saver, but the same photo viewed via Preview at the same magnification appeared highly pixelated.  I would like to know how this is done to make other photos look smooth at high magnification, outside of Screen Saver.

    How do you use the projector?
    As a school teacher I found that most projectors had moderately crummy optics.  My answer was to run the projector from my laptop.  On the laptop, I would go into full screen mode.  Didn't matter what the image was it filled the screen.  This also gave me the option of zooming in on a detail, bringing up multiple images to compare etc.
    If you have to bring the images to the club meetings on a thumb drive, then a careful crop (You probably want to do that anyway.  People who don't need to crop have names like Ansel Adams)  Now follow frank's advice and export with fit within. 

  • How does ACR save edited JPEG and TIFF files?

    When a JPEG or TIFF file is edited in ACR, are the edits destructive when you click the "Done" button, permanently changing the file? Or is the edit info saved in sidecar files like with edited RAW files, not affecting the original file?
    If I reopen a previously edited JPEG file in ACR, will the adjustment settings be the same as where I left off, allowing me to change those edits, like a crop or HSL adjustment? Thanks.

    First: There is a Camera RAW Forum.

    Second: It should be fairly simple to test your hypotheses.
    And on my station at least it appears the data is stored in the file and not as a sidecar-file.

  • How to turn off using photo library in Screen Saver?

    Hi, Is there anyway to turn off screen saver (and desktop) in using my photo library (Aperture)?  Currently it is using my entire photo library as screen saver and I wanted to turn it off.  Clicking on the "-" button in the Screen Saver preference pane does not remove Aperture photo library from the list.  I had OS 10.7.3 installed.  Thanks.

    The Aperture, iPhoto, and Photobooth icons stay permanently.
    If you don't want to show your Aperture library, just pick a different screen saver.
