How to read the 'full resolution composite' from a .psd file?

I'm working with 16-bit .psd files and have the "maximize compatibility" switch turned on in CS2. When a file is saved, a message box appears indicating that PS is generating a "full resolution composite." I'd guess this is stored in the .psd file somehow, because some of the 3rd party image viewers are able to display the image when the compatibility switch is used, but are unable to display the image otherwise.
My question is: how can I read this full resolution composite from the .psd file outside of Photoshop?
If this is the wrong forum to post this question, I'd appreciate it of you'd tell me a better place.
Thanks,
Dave H.

As you guess, it is stored in the PSD, but only with the Maximise Compatibility switch. Without that switch, a dummy image is stored which has the text "This layered Photoshop file was not saved with a composite image.", in English, German, Japanese and French.
My program
psdparse extracts each layer in an 8-bit file as a PNG, and the merged image for both 8- and 16-bit files. That link is to a Subversion repository containing source code.

It is then up to you to split that string up (search for split string on this forum for methods) into it's individual components.
    If the text file contains a standard structure on each line, i.e. it is a fixed delimited structure, then you could use external tables to read the data instead.

  • How to read the date and time information of a file by labview

    how to read the date and time information of a file by labview? for example, created time and modified time.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    if you need to know the last modification date of file:-
    "Functions->File I/O->Advanced File Functions->File/Directory Info.vi"
    This vi returns the value of file's last modification date. This is returned as U32 number. To see it in MM/DD/YY format you must create the indicator, right-click on it and select "Format & Precision" item from drop-down menu. Then select "Time and Date" format there.
    Thanks as kudos only

  • Taking the full resolution photos from my iPod and putting them on an eMac

    I'd like to put all the 5000+ photos that are on my iPod (and my new iMac) onto my wife's eMac. HOWEVER, I really don't want to mess with anything else on her computer. (Truth be told, I'm under a "never touch my computer again" order from doing on too many "improvements".)
    But I would like her computer as a back up on the family photos. So, how do I do it?
    Also, there are several album's worth of somewhat good music that she's purchased using her computer. How do I get it onto my computer? (Again, without endangering her stuff in any way?
    Thanks.

    If you copied photos to your iPod using the full resolution option, enable disk use, open your iPod in Finder, open the photos folder then open the "full resolution" folder and drag the photos out of that folder to the desktop. For enabling disk use look here.

  • How do i sync full resolution photos from computer to phone?

    anyone know how to sync full resolution photos from computer to phone using itunes?  itunes does not show the option to "include full resolution photos."  photos i'd like to sync include both photos taken with iphone and photos i've taken with another camera.  i also don't have to use itunes, whichever program gets the photos in their separate folders back onto my iphone in full resolution is fine.  using itunes 10 / iphone 4S / ios 5.0.1
    thanks!

    As far as I know that's not possible when using iTunes. See this post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15172235#15172235 and this one https://discussions.apple.com/message/15254581#15254581

  • HT201317 How do I download full resolution images from icloud

    i have my devices set to Optimize iPhone/iPad Storage. I also have them set to Upload to My Photostream. I understand this to mean that my images are uploaded to the cloud full resolution but downloaded back to my devices at lower size and resolution to optimize space. If I need to download to full sized images later, how do I get to them?
    thanks

    Your PC will always download full resolution versions.
    If you are using iCloud photos library on your mobile device and you use the optimise option, your photos may or may not be reduced in resolution (this depends on whether they needed to be optimised which is automatically determined by your free space). I'm not 100% sure but I think that if the image is optimised you may download the full resolution image simply by opening it on your mobile device. However if you are in any doubt, putting it in edit mode (temporarily) does definitely download the full resolution version (if it's not already on your device).

  • Nokia 6700: how to read the full E-mail??

    Hi there,
    When I am browsing the internet with my Nokia 6700 I can use the navigation key to scroll up, down, left and right. But when I am reading my E-mails. I can only scroll up or down, so I can not read the text which is on the right side of the E-mail... I have tried to change the settings (640 x 480 etc.), but the E-mail appearance did not change, nor did the size of the letters.
    Does anyone know how I can change this?? It is kind of anoying that I am not able to read the full E-mail...
    Thanx!

  • How to read out message cycle time from Vector CANdb file?

    Hello LabVIEW friends,
    I tried to open a Vector CAN Database (*.dbc) using the NI-CAN 2.3.2 Channel API and read out the cycle time of a message.
    The CAN get property.vi should provide the sample rate which is described as followed:
    Input parameter of the CAN Init Start function.
    The sample rate specifies
    whether to transfer data in a periodic or event-driven manner.
    For periodic
    behavior, the rate specifies the number of read/write samples to perform per
    second.
    But for all messages in my database I get the value 0.
    When I connect a sample rate to the CAN Initialize.vi I will get it's value.
    Could anybody help?
    Thank You.
    Greets,
    Marcus

    Hi,
    unfortunately there is no way to use the cycle time property from your DBC file, because the NI driver is not able to read this information.
    This is because the cycletime is stored in different places for different users and only Vector itself can read this information back.
    In your case, you have to figure out this information by yourself and you can use the sample rate input of the init or initstart function to configure the cycle time in Hz.
    If you need different cycle times for different messages, see the attached example.

  • How to transfer the full contact details from my IPhone 3 G to my IPad 5?

    I installed Icloud on all devices, including my Windows PC, but in contacts only the email adresses are transferred, not the full adress and phone details. How can I transfer the complete data?

    Good morning Delphina
    This sounds like you have a number of "groups" in your contacts.  Typically these email only contacts will coem from yahoo or gmail or whatever email provider(s) you are using.
    So it's a matter of selecting the correct contact list.
    on your IOS device - tap contacts, tap groups, you should see multiple groups.  Try selecting one of the unchecked groups, tap done and see if thiis is the one you want.  You can clcik all of the groups on but then you may see duplicates etc.
    Cheers

  • How to get the actual font name from a font file?

    Hi
    I have only the font Path I have to get the font name from that path. Any idea how to get the actual font name?
    Thanks,

    I would ask you these questions:
    Why do you need to do this?  What are you ultimately trying to accomplish?
    Are you really asking about the InDesign SDK?
    Do you really need to get the "name" of a font from an arbitrary file?  Or do you want information about a font installed on the system?  If so, what OS?
    Do you need to be able to handle any font format?
    Which font "name" do you mean?
    What language do you want the name in?
    (1) It's not clear what you're trying to accomplish.  A bit more information about your ultimate goal would be helpful.
    (2) This question is not at all specific to the InDesign SDK.  Are you really trying to do something in the context of an InDesign plug-in?  If so, you probably want to look at IID_IFONTFAMILY and the IFontFamily::GetFamilyName function.
    (3) If you are asking more generally, Windows and Mac both have system API calls to get this information, although those tend to deal with installed system fonts, not with arbitrary font files per se.
    Also, you can parse the name table from a True Type or Open Type font without using any system APIs; as True Type and Open Type are well-documented standards.  I would start by reading these:
    The Naming Table
    Font Names Table
    (4) Although there are other standards, such as Type 1 (PostScript) fonts, and True Type Collection files and other formats, especially on Mac.
    (5) Also, when you start down this road, you will quickly realize that your seemingly simple question is actually ambiguous, and that the answer is kind of complicated, because a font can have many names (a family name, a full font name, a style name, a PostScript name, etc.).
    (6) And not only does a font have multiple names, it can have each of those names in multiple languages and encodings.
    Any clarification would make this a better question.

  • How to read messages in message pool from a java file

    Hi All,
    I want to read a message that is defined in a message pool of a webdynpro component.
    This reading should be done from a java file present in the "src" folder.
    How can I get the handle to the IWDComponent?
    Or is there any other way?
    Or is there any way of reading localized messages in a java file of a webdynpro component?
    Can you kindly guide me out of this issue?
    Thanks and regards
    RB

    Hello,
    my approach is more simple: how can I read within component A the message pool of another webdynpro component B ? Component A has a usage relation to component B .
    I tried this within component A:
    <b>this.wdThis.wdGetBInterface().wdGetAPI().getComponent().getTextAccessor().getText("ANY_TEXT");</b>
    I got the exeption:
    <b>java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Embedded Components are black boxes. You should not access parts which are not in their interface</b>.
    Is there any way to share message pools ?
    Thanks
