Is there as easy way of batch converting RGB files to CMYK in OS Lion?

Is there as easy way of batch converting RGB files to CMYK in OS Lion?
I was using a photoshop droplet on my desktop but this no longer works due to the fact it requires rosetta support.
Thx P

From another forum after googling:
Your computer came with everything you need, because ColorSync can do that and Apple provided AppleScripts for it. Go to your Applications folder and look for the AppleScript folder. Double click on the 'Example Scripts' alias and then open the ColorSync scripts. Drag and drop your images on the the 'Match to CMYK' script.
You can open AppleScript Editor from Launchpad (it's in Utilities). Go to Help to Open Example Scripts Folder. In the ColorSync folder is a Match application. Double click to make it run.
Now you know what it does you may need to change it for batch conversion.
Go to AppleScript Editor and open what you've just found. And I'm sorry that's as far as my knowledge goes, hope some one can fill in the gaps.
Or you may just want to look at something like Graphic Converter?

Is there an easy way to batch rename existing images in a folder?

Hi,
I discovered that I had accidentally imported several folders with the wrong filename prefix. I use the first three letters so it corresponds to the camera I shot it with, the program I exported it from, or the person who sent it to me. The last source, essentially.
Is there an easy way I am not seeing in LR to rename all the images in a shoot without having to reimport them?
Thanks,
Chris

Hightlight all of the images in the folder, press F2, and set up a renaming preset to your taste, and then apply it. Note that the preset mechanism is the same one used at import.

Is there an easier way to load a MIDI file in Logic8?

Please, does anyone know how to import a MIDI file into Logic 8 withouthaving to manually reset all the instruments and sounds for each track? I have recently switched to a mac and want to perform along with the MIDI back-tracks I always use, but I don't know how to get Logic to do this w/o spending gobs of time assigning SW instruments for each track in every file (!!). Is there an easier way, or perhaps a better program to do this with? On my PC I can use a GM MIDI player that does this automatically. These are professionally made MIDI files with all program and channel settings built in.
Thanks.

Just use "import" & the sw insts' will load and assign accordingly, automatically.
But oddly, there are times when importing a SMF w/imbedded prgm changes, that LP8 loads a completely wrong instrument to a specific track(s).
One reason that I've kept only one of my trustworthy external midi modules (Roland XV5080), specifically for just importing SMFs'. When the XV is in GM mode, any standard midi files I import to LP8... always load pgm changes correctly 100% of the time.

How to batch convert RGB images to CMYK

Hello,
Can anyone explain in a step-by-step way how to batch-convert many RGB images to CMYK?
Thanks in advance

If you do want to use Photoshop for the bact conversion there are a few ways, including Batch and Image Procesor under the File>Automate or File>Scripts of PS.
However, my preference is to use Russell Brown's script: Image Processsor Pro, via Bridge:
http://www.russellbrown.com/scripts.html
As similar one is Picture Processor:
http://www.scriptsrus.talktalk.net/
Both allow you to do multiple conversions simultaneously, to different sizes and file types, and running actions before or after the conversions.

Is there an easy way to batch process channel swapping?

I'm creating a IR time-lapse, and I need an easy/effective way to swap the red/blue channels and do a few other things in Photoshop before I transfer the work to Lightroom to finish. I know that you can batch process for resizing and whatnot, but it would be really helpful if you could batch process basically all the actions you did in the history of one image in a set of 300+ and hit "go". Anyone know if this can be done, and how?

Make an action that uses the channel mixer adjustment to apply the channel swap, then use the batch command to apply it to your folder of images.

For CS6 is there an easier way to redirect all my files and folders for all of the programs?

Hey adobe people, Im wondering, I know you can setup each preference individually, but I want to redirect all the catched space, storage of brushes, and etc for all my programs into another disk volume as in changing c/ to e/. Is there a way to do this with in one program to make it easier? I don't want to accidently delete files that all the adobe programs can't find.
The reason is I don't want to store anything other then the programs on the SSD, and in theory I want the other drive, so it can run faster.

There is no global option for this.

Is there an easy way to import an addressbook file into addressbook server?

Hi,
I have a fairly complex addressbook with around 4000 contacts and many groups.
What is the best way to import this in address book server?
If I drag the users and then the groups I end up with many duplicates.
Tks very much

Hello, I am also working with a fairly complex addressbook with around 4000 contacts and many groups; I'm migrating from (old) Outlook 2003 and have made some progress but am not finished. I exported my contacts to (very old) Excel 2000 and cleaned up the info there. Then I opened the spreadsheet with Open Office and saved it in CSV format. Then I imported/mapped that CSV file into Apple contacts successfully; however, I have to fix some long entries in the Notes field that were cut off, and I still have to figure out how to do Groups (was Categories in Outlook). Due to limitations of Outlook 2003, fixing the cut-off Notes field entries will be manual/tedious; however, I'm hoping to figure out, or hear of, a smart way to do Groups. Regards, -Michael

Is there an easy way to get a "recent files" menu with a path control?

If not, does anybody have any modular code that would do the trick? I could build this from scratch, but I'm sure it's been done many times already.

Yep, that's what I need. Before posting it, please test it with no other VI's open, as others on this forum will likely want it.
Are you refering to password locking the subvis? Or do you mean you want me to make sure it can work with any top level VI? If the latter is true, then the answer is YES. It will work with any menu. It will place a list of recent files (it will limit them to a specified number, which is configurable) just above the last option under your first menu group. So say you have the "File" menu first, and your last option is "Exit," then the File menu would look like:
Before:
New...
Open...
Close...
Exit
After:
New...
Open...
Close...
"Name of recent file 1"
"Name of recent file 2"
Exit
Now of course your menu probably won't look just like that, but as long as the recent files list can put itself beside the last option (with a seperator), it will work fine. Let me know if you have any more questions before I post the subs.

Easy way how to convert deep structure to XML

Hi,
is there any easy way how to convert a complex deep structure to XML. I have XSLT transformation ready for using, but when I look on examples on using CALL TRANSFORMATION, I am finding only examples for internal tables.
Something like this CALL TRANSFORMATION SOURCE tab = sometab[].
Instead of this I need to convert a comlex deep structure.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Is there an easy way to reimport all songs in my itunes folder?

This may sound like a weird question but here goes... When I bring up my iTunes I have 8731 files (mostly music) that come to about 41.33G's but when I right click on my iTunes Music folder and select properties there are 8809 files and a total of 48.5G's. I am trying to free up some disk space and can't figure out why there is such a difference. I had issues with Norton 360 and removed it but I had to restore my music files from an external drive and when I did so I lost the links for music that I added after my last back-up. I noticed that TV shows I bought from Apple were not in my iTunes but I was able to locate them in the folder, and import them back into iTunes. I have a feeling there are music files in my folders that are not linked to iTunes but can't figure out how to import them without going through all 8800+ files. Is there an easy way to import all the files without losing the current playcounts or a way to figure out which files may be duplicated in my iTunes Music folder. Seems like I am wasting 7G somewhere that I would like to recover. I already went through the duplicate songs and that didn't help. Any suggestions would be great...

AFIK there isn't an easy way of linking up to a lot of dead tracks and retaining play counts etc, except by finding the dead tracks and repairing each link individually. The only exception to this is if there is a simple error in the path that can be fixed by a search and replace on the xml library file, then rebuilding the library. However it doesn't sound as though that would be a solution for you.
This MacMuse tip has a way of finding dead tracks if that helps.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121967
It is much simpler to sacrifice the playcount information and just reimport your iTunes Music folder. Then you can eliminate the dead tracks with a script. One of the forum members has written one that you can find here:

I am looking to "move out" of my computer and into my wife's, is there an easy way to accomplish this task, keeping all my files and setting up a second user?

I just bought a new external 3TB hard drive for this task and want to keep my items seperate from hers for both our sanity.
I figured that I would do a time machine back up and use that to do the move part of things.
But as to setting up the new user on her computer I am just not sure if I can "tell" the computer to only use the new drive for my stuff and only acces the new drive for all things related to that new profile.
More then anything else I want to be able to say that all things that are hers have not been touched/acccesed/deleted by any of my actions. And that I am "confined" to the new drive.
I hope this makes sence.

Is there an easy way to convert from a String with a comma, ie. 1,000.00 to a float or a double?

Like DrClap said: DecimalFormat. However, make sure you understand the Locale things, as explained at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/text/DecimalFormat.html (which refers to NumberFormat as well) and use them explicitly. Like
public class FormatTest
public static void main(String args[])
    try
      // see NumberFormat.getInstance()
      DecimalFormat fmt = new DecimalFormat();
      Number num = fmt.parse("1,000.01");
      System.out.println(num.doubleValue());
    catch(ParseException pe)
      System.out.println(pe);
}most likely seems OK on your system, but may print "1.0" (or even fail) on some non-English platforms!

Is there an easy way to convert original images to b&w ?

I have a canon 5d mark II and when I decide to shoot b&w pics, this is what i do : I set my camera to b&w and shoot raw+jpeg. raw files come out in color all the time but jpegs show up in b&w when i import them . I decided to do so as it is very time consuming to convert the original images to b&w one by one.
Is there an easy way to do it?? Any suggestions?

Little known hint well worth knowing:
If you use the menu selection "Photos→Add Adjustment" or "Photos→Add Adjustment Preset", the operation is done to all selected images.
In addition to what Frank says, you could also apply a B&W Adjustment Preset when the files are imported. These adjustments are like any others -- they can be toggled on and off, removed, and adjusted with the settings in the Bricks used.
For grayscale, it is well worth the time exploring the included Presets and the slider controls. Afaik, sophisticated grayscale photographers optimize their images in color prior to converting to grayscale.
JPG is 8-bit and lossy. RAW is (up to) 16-bit and unconverted (no loss of data, but "lossless" isn't quite right). If the JPG conversion and quality suffices, there is little reason to shoot RAW+JPEG.
In essence, you can use the in-camera-created grayscale JPGs, with their fixed and baked-in conversion settings, or you can use Aperture's broad (and time-consuming) grayscale controls. If you do the latter, and settle on a conversion that works for your camera and subject(s), save it as an Adjustment Preset and use it.

Is there an easy way to convert and import MTS files from a external hardrive so that I can edit them in FCP?

I am trying to convert game footage that is in MTS format to something that I can edit into a quick highlights video. I have final cut express and the standard IMovie '09. looking for easiest solution, everything seems to involve using one application to convert to Quicktime and then dropping file into Iphoto etc. is there an easy way?

I'm not completely sure that MPEG Streamclip can convert AVCHD footage (.mts files). If MPEG Streamclip doesn't do the job, then get a copy of Clipwrap, which was designed for transcoding .mts files to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec (that's the format/codec you need to convert the .mts files to for use in FCE).
