Saving images and catalogue issues.

Hi,
I have been using LR for a few months now and have watched countless tutorials (a lot of Adobe.tv) I am having major issues with staying on top of my numbering and filing system and really need some tips. I try and explain.
When I first open the import box I have a look through and uncheck all the photos I have decided are no good and import the rest, I use the convert to DNG route. I also shoot in both JPEG and RAW, but I don't import the JPEGs, I use them for reference, I add generic keywords and rename with the date (I've still not decided on a naming convention yet)
I then use the compare function and delete some photos that were otherwise identical, then I work through the photos and edit them. The trouble I have generally begins here. I am happy with the export box and choose my settings, but if I decide to edit any in photoshop I do it through LR and save it as a PSD. So now I have both the PSD and the DNG. If I try and rename them the numbering systemn goes to pot because there's a PSD in there. I also find occasionally that it renames each JPEG and associated DNG file seperately so 40 photos becomes 80
Then I export my images only to discover the colour is over saturated so I need to re-edit/ import and then this adds to the confusion as I can't replace the current image as I need to figure out what the hell I need to correct!
In short, I seem to be getting in quite a pickle! I'm not sure I've explained it very well. All I want to do is rename, edit, export to show off to family and friends, without taking four hours to do eight photos
Many thanks in advance for any help offered.

Sorry you've been overlooked.
Yes you are making things difficult for yourself.
I recommend you watch some videos on AdobeTV to find out how to get the most from Lightroom with the smallest effort!!

How do I stop Firefox from grabbing my saved images and coverting them to Firefox?

I am working on images in Dreamweaver and Adobe Photoshop, and when I try to save them, Firefox coverts them into Firefox images with a Firefox icon and then I can't edit them properly in Photoshop or Dreamweaver. How do I stop Firefox from grabbing my saved images? in English

I will try that, but it's pretty time consuming to have to check that for each of my images. I am a web designer and I work with a lot of images.
Is there any way to set that globally for all of my saved images?

Placing Images and PPI issues

Hello, I am new to InDesign.. I am a digital artist who has only used PS in the past, so I'm used to manipulating images however I like concerning PPI, DPI, and pixels. I am now creating an app for ipad use and created the background images for the pages in PS. Now, I'm placing them into ID. When I do that, no matter what I have the file saved as, it converts the image to a different ppi.
When I created the images in PS, I used the standard ipad resolution (262px) and dimensions. When I created the ID file, I used the standard ipad dimensions and the ppi is obviously much lower, at 72?
Is there a way to set the ID resolution, or do I need to create my documents with only 72ppi? This doesn't seem like it would give the best image viewing available on the ipad.
Thank you!

InDesign respects the original size and resolution of images, as long as you keep them at 100% of the original size. When they are at 100%, the "Actual ppi" and "Effective ppi" fields of the Info panel display the same value. In your specific case, the Info panel needs to show "262" in both fields. If not, it means that the respective image is scaled. To verify its scale, click the image using the Direct Selection Tool (the "white arrow" one) and look at the percentage fields in the Control Panel. (By the way, the resolution of the retina iPads is 264 ppi, not 262.)
When importing an image, the easiest way to assure that it will be placed at 100% is simply clicking the loaded cursor instead of dragging it. Give it a try.
But bear in mind that this "ppi" issue only matters for print publications. For tablet apps, what is important is the number of pixels; the resolution is irrelevant. For retina iPads, you need to use twice the size you use in a standard screen iPad. So, if you want a full-page image in an old iPad, the image dimensions must be 1024 by 768 pixels. If you want the same image in full screen on a retina iPad, create it with 2048 by 1536 pixels. You'll get a better explanation here: http://www.planetquark.com/2012/03/14/132-ppi-72-dpi-264-ppi-what-image-resolution-should- you-use-the-for-new-ipad/#.UhdbsLwWFL8

PhongMaterial Image and 3D issue

I've been working with Box and trying to get an image set up.
According to the API http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/image/Image.html there are a few ways to do it.
I tried to set it as a file, in the source, or another project, and no luck. Then I tried using the direct link to the JavaFX icon found in the tutorial; however that was for basic images, not for Phong Materials.
Now there is setDiffuseMap, setSpecularMap, and setBumpMap. When doing each individually it yields a gray box, but when doing all 3 I get a crappy gray version of the JavaFX Logo.
Now looking up the definitions of each I got that Diffuse is the main color, specular is for shiny objects, and bumps are for bumps :P. The thing is are they supposed to be 3 different images layered together to form 1 image, or what's the deal? Why am I having issues with crappy color, and is there an easier way to do this? What if I want to set each side's image? It seem slike it knew the FX Logo was 2D, so it just mapped it to all 6 sides.
I should also mention I am using NEtbeansLambda8, with JDK/JRE 8 build 78.

Okay so I got it to work only when the link was correct THE FIRST TIME. For some reason it was f-xdocuments instead of fx-documents, so when I changed it back, it worked; however only the first time. If I ran the code again it would turn into a normal non-image box. If I switch the image path to and from fx- to f-x and back to fx- it would work again, only once...

Is this something I should report to Jira or what would be recommended?

Image and Wireframe issue?

I just received a call from a friend that is having an odd problem n FCP 5.1. For some reason, he iis unable to toggle from image+wirframe to image. When he sets the canvas to window, the wireframe is still visible.
I had him trash the prefs, but it still has this issue.
Also, he is having an issue with creating a bin inside a bin. when he right-clicks on the bin and selects new bin, the bin does not show up inside the other bin. This is by no means a crucial problem, but I didn't have an answer, so I fiigured I'd through it out there.
g5 Dual 2Ghz Mac OS X (10.3.7)

Has to set the canvas to 'image" not "window" or "fit to window" which is a sizing command.
If he right clicks on a bin, then selects create new bin, that bin will be inside the selected bin.

LR5 registration and catalogue issues

I just upgraded to LR5 (from LR3) and after the initial set up where LR5 read and updated my LR3 catalogue I closed LR5 and saved the catalog. Now when i attempt to open LR5 it takes me through the registration and serial # dialogue and forces me to create a new catalog rather than use my existing catalog. Furthermore, after registering LR5 several times both in the dialogue that comes up upon opening LR5 as well as online at adobe, my registration doesn't go through. It always says i successfully register and then next time i refresh the page i have "no registered products".

Hi
1.)About serial number:
Maybe you have typed wrong letters. Please take care for O and 0 (zero) or I and l (little L or big i ).
In my opinion you should try it again and check these possibilities.
2.)About wireless:
Well, its not easy to say why it happens. You can try to update the wireless intel driver. Maybe this solves the strange speed changing.

Saving image and layer separately with transparent background

I have a photo with a layer and I am trying to save two images (main photo and layer) with transparent background. I am able to save the main photo with transparent background but somehow not able to save the layer with transparent background despite selecting the option while saving as PNG. Any help will be appreciated?

OK... I'm probably not being clear.
When I import the PDF, I get a typical architect's line drawing as shown below. So the background is displaying as white. In Corel, when you save a GIF or a PNG, you can specify that -everything- that is the 'background colour' is rendered as transparent. IOW: there's no need to erase the 'white' pixels; they are auto-magically converted to transparent.
But in PS (CS4), no matter what I try, the rendered PNG or GIFs show as white, rather than transparent.
Is there a way to have this same behaviour in PS? Or do I first have to use the erase or background erase tools to get rid of the white?

Dreamweaver Relative Image and Link Issue

Hi there
I have just created a website in Dreamweaver. It previews
fine in Firefox but when previewing it in IE neither the images are
loading or the internal links working.
I think it has something to do with roots or relative linking
as links are all coming up with
http://home.html in front of them and
images
http://home.html/Assets (assets
being where images are stored). I hope this isnt too difficult to
fix.
Thank you in advance

LOL. Just so....

Image and Jquery issues - help needed

Let me begin by saying that I have used both of these successfully with pages on my test server and in production. That said, for whatever reason Dreamweaver is not displaying images called-out in my CSS in either Live View or in browser preview even though they are visible in Design View. I also can't get jquery slide shows to function in browser preview either - and again the images show up in Design View. Does this have to do with the fact that I am building this site on my hard-drive and not on a test server? Has anyone experienced this and then moved their root to a test or production server and had them magically work?

localhost...
Image links are (example):
CSS:
a.classname {
        width: 60px;
        height: 60px;
        background: transparent url(/images/YouTube_pop.png) no-repeat 0 0;
        float: right;
HTML:
<p><a href="http://www.webaddress.com/user/blahblahblah" target="_blank" class="classname"></a></p>
or
HTML:
<img src="images/sld_g04.gif" /> - which shows the images fine in both Live View and browser preview.

Saving Images and Snippets

Does anyone know if Robosource Control can also save images in the historical records. When I view past version of a topic the images are no longer populating. I have the same question about Snippets.
Thanks,
Mike

Yes, it saves image files, for sure. I don't have a recent enough version to check snippets, but I'd be surprised if they weren't included, too.

About saving images and file formats

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshopelements/using/WS287f927bd30d4b1f89cffc612e28adab65-7 fd9.html

. I was able to do, what I was unable to do in last 2 days.
I just wanted to point that, with iPhot 11, which I am using, iPhoto menu ->Preferences->General-> ,Edit Photos pulldown menu did not appear. This step #2, where selection of Photoshop Element had to to be done with use of "Advanced" menu.
Thank you for the help.

"error while saving image"

has anyone had the problem where, when they select option and tap an image (in my case i pulled one from my email using an image i uploaded from my drive) and gotten an error that says "there was an error saving image" and your only option is 'ok'? i've read other forums and understand that jpeg's are the ideal form, and this had a .jpg extension.
any thougths anyone?
so many thanks in advance.

Post relates to: Pixi Plus p121vzw (Verizon)

hey thanks , but my jdbc pool and driver is fine. what may be the problem and I am not able to change the type to BlobDomain in eo. The type i Blob only may be this is the problem how can I change it to Blob Domain

Why do the file extensions (.jpg .gif .png) no longer appear when I click on a previously saved image to use that image's file name (particularly important when saving a series of images using the same root name)?

I save a lot of images using firefox, often times from a large batch or series of images. It used to be that I would click on a previously saved image and the entire file name including the file extension (i.e. image_example.jpg) would appear in the "save as" line. Now when I click on a previously saved file, the file name appears without the file extension (i.e. image_example). Which means I have to manually type .jpg every time. For a large collection of images that I am hoping to use the same root file name and then add chronological numbers at the end, this has become incredibly frustrating, especially as it is a previously unnecessary task.
I am using a new Macbook Pro and maybe there's something Apple related to this...? It did not happen on my old PowerBook G4. I have file extensions turned on in System Preferences.
It should be noted that I have searched high and low and have even gone into the Apple Genius Bar where they were just confused as I was and of course ended by urging me to use Safari (shocker!) as it has all kinds of new extensions and bells and whistles. I seriously feel alone on an island with this dumb, hard to google problem. Thanks so much for any help anyone out there might have.
I mean: is this as simple as changing a setting in about:config?
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your response Mylenium, however like I mentioned multiple times, I did change all of my trackpad/scrolling settings in system preferences. And if I wanted to use a normal mouse (or a tablet), I would've gotten an iMac instead of a MacBook Pro. I travel often and work all over the place, not always with access to a decently sized workspace that would be required for using a mouse or tablet.

How to Save an image and retreve the same image with edit option!! ???

I am facing with a problem
I have a image which is preloaded, user accessing the image should be provided with a option of adding a text on some part of image etc and save it. Later when that imagine is tried and retrived it should display the edited and saved image and allow user to edit again.The text will be written in a square box which can be dragged anywhere on the image. Is java script and ajax best for this.?
Can anyone help in showing the basic things i need to follow to achieve this.
Thanks in Advance

You could try to write a web service that returns a byte array and convert the image to bytes, and convert it back into an image again.
