Working with Images

Hi, I'm working on a new MacBook Pro and find iPhoto cumbersome/confusing (compared to my old PC system, I have to say).
I import images from a memory card and they appear in iPhoto. That's fine.
I want to adjust them in Photoshop, but can't while theyre in iPhoto. That's stupid (or I am. Quite possible).
I want to transfer files from iPhoto into a Folder file and select and copy all the relevant images. Then I open the folder and select Paste, but only a selction of there are there. If I copy 30, only 19 will paste. If I copy 100, only abot 70 will paste.
Very frustrating!
What am I doing wrong???

I just use Lightroom catalogs to organize my workflow - the only time that I use iPhoto is for jpg images - most of what I shoot are RAW, so I've Lightroom catalogs that I use. Just import the files into Lightroom, do most CC there and then open in Photoshop for editing.
I think I've about 18,000 jpg photos in iPhoto going back 11 years or so... But I just looked and my last imprt was November 15, 2012 so you can see that I don't use it very often.

How to work with images in Keynote

Hello,
I'm a Keynote newbie and am having problems working with images. My basic question is, do I have to resize my .jpgs every time I put them in Keynote? It seems that if I choose to Insert>Choose a .jpg, it will fill my entire presentation and I have to resize. If I drag a .jpg, from iPhoto using the Media browser button, the .jpg will land squarely on the part of my canvas that's meant for the image (in the photo-with-title master slide). BUT, the image will just be masked and I once again need to resize it to fit the designated area.
My second question is, if resizing is a fact of life in Keynote, are there any shortcuts which would allow me to resize quickly/automatically to the size of the image area on the canvas?

I think Keynote inserts images in their native size, meaning that if you have a big jpg to begin with, it'll appear big on the slide. If you can't adjust the size of the images you have to begin with (for instance, you could easily adjust their size in a program like GIF Coverter--which would actually allow you to resize several at a time--before you begin to deal with Keynote at all) there is another solution to make it easier. Adjust the magnification of the slide to 50% so that when you insert the big images you can find the corners easily.
I should add that I've only ever used Keynote 1. But Keynote arrives (inside a new iMac) as soon as tomorrow.

Working with images as data

Hi,
How do I work with image data in HTML DB? I'd like to define a column of type ordimage (or if not that then BLOB)load images in the column, query images based on other related data in the row and display the images with related data. Thx. Bill

hi bill--
i'm pretty sure you'll find the answers you need in an ealier thread from this discussion forum...
BLOB (images) support in MarvelForms
could you take a look at it and let us know if you'd like further assistance, please?

HP Photosmart C2780 All-in-one won't work with Image Capture

I want to use Image Capture as the scanning software but it won't connect to my scanner (HP Photosmart C2780 All-in-one). When I go to browse devices it shows the scanner but when i click on "Use Twain UI", nothing happens, and it is supposed to ask me if I want to connect. I believe that I have followed all of the instructions correctly but nothing is happening. Does the HP Photosmart C2780 even work with Image Capture? and if it does what am I doing wrong?

Install the HP Drivers from HP.
I installed V9.7.1 from the HP website:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-55650-2 &lc=en&cc=us&lang=en&os=219&product=3204785&dlc=en
This provides 'Hp Device Manager' which will scan images or do OCR on text pages....

Why does the color red change from working with images in develop to library? The color gets lighter and nothing shows a change on histogram but visually you can see it.

Why does the color red change from working with images in develop to library? The color gets lighter and nothing shows a change on histogram but visually you can see it.

That's probably a broken display profile. The conversion from Library's Adobe RGB is different than the conversion from Develop's linear ProPhoto, so if there's a problem with the display profile it can show up this way.
Recalibrate, or if you don't have a calibrator use sRGB. If your monitor is a wide gamut model use Adobe RGB.
Assuming Windows, change it in Control Panel > Color Management > Devices, and relaunch Lightroom so that it can pick up the new profile at startup:

ActionListener doesn't work with image command_button

Hi,
with EA4, if I set an ActionListener on a command_button without specifying the image attribute, everything just works fine.
If I now replace the label attribute with an image attribute, the action listener is no longer triggered.
It seems that nobody reported this problem before, so maybe I've missed something.
I tried several ways to make it work, but without success.
Any clue ?
Here is the code of my test :

but with EA4 the TLD doesn't
define any src attribute for tag command_button.
Do you (or anybody) have another idea ?oh - sorry about that ... i was looking at some other tag on my JSP and wrote this ...
yeah, but an absolute URL does solve the problem ... or if u want it to work with a relative URL - use the HTML <base href=".." /> tag to establish the base

How Mail work with image attachements and HTML image ?

Hello,
I'm writing an application that sends html emails with images to Mail.app. When Mail display the mail, everything is okay, images are correctly embedded in html code, using inline attachements.
But there's still a problem : The images are also displayed at the bottom of the email, as file attachements. I know that Mail's template can hide these attachements, but I cannot reproduce it when sending my own emails.
Is there anybody here that already get such problem and find the solution ? (apparently, Windows User get the same problem with Outlook, but they have an API under Windows...I'm using my own email API..)
David

David can you share how you managed to get the inline images to work. I've got the general idea of how to do it. But I do not seem to be able to change the Content-Type to multipart/mix. Can you point me in the right direction. Should the Content-Type definition and everything else be part of the body? Or should some headers (namely the multipart) be defined in the mailto URL format?
In other words do you do: mailto:?subject=test&Content-Type=multipart/mix;%20boundary=myBoundary&body=--m yBoundary etc...
Or id it: mailto:?subject=test&body=Content-Type=multipart/mix;%20boundary=myBoundary%20- -myBoundary etc..
Neither seems to work for me so I am really stuck. But knowing what the right way is would help me figure things out a bit better.
Thanks in advance

Can import TIFF files but not see or work with images

I previously used Aperture 2 with no problems. I have scanned a large number (hundreds) of negatives using SilverFast current version 6.6.2r2 using a Plustek OpticFilm 7500i scanner. These files are saved as .tif and are all approx 55 MB in size. I was able to view, work with them with no problems in Aperture 2. I can see and work with them in Photoshop CS4, iPhoto, Preview on my iMac and in any program on my PC. However, I cannot view them or work with them in Aperture 3
When I updated to Aperture 3, the scanned files were visible in the preview mode but not otherwise viewable. Another image from a different project would appear or the image was corrupted. I have done everything in Aperture Library First Aid. I have deleted all of my projects, including my vault, uninstalled and reinstalled Aperture 3 and have the same problem. The image is viewable in Browser (preview mode) but either no image or another image shows up in Viewer or Inspector mode. When looking at the Metadata info, the file name is correct but a different version name is being assigned from a different project.
Any ideas are appreciated. I am about to give up on A3 as it has been nothing but problems and unusable since installed/reinstalled.
By the way, JPEGs from camera, cards, etc have been ok. But one of the major goals I have is to capture my old negatives. Unfortunately, the SilverFast JPEG option is not a viable option as not a viewable file by most programs. I have used the VueScan software but have not been happy with the image quality. Besides, I don't want to have to rescan all of these images.

I wanted to give an update to my issue. The originals are 16-bit TIFFs using RGB color.
I spoke with Apple Support. After uninstalling, reinstalling, making a new library, importing, generating previews, regenerating previews, attempting importing after saving as JPEGs, 8-bit TIFFs, 16-bit TIFFs from other programs (all of which are able to import and present the orginal .tif files with no problems, Aperture 2 included), the conclusion was that there must be something wrong with my original .tif files.
I then brought up the only "solution" that had worked to date. That is importing the original TIFF, exporting it (via Aperture 3) as a TIFF and then importing the new TIFF. This has given me usable images and not just the previews. He said that that looked like the only workaround but that it wasn't a problem because of Aperture itself!?
As cumbersome as this process will be, it may be worth it. I have trialed Lightroom 3 (which can handle the originals with no problem), and at least so far, I much prefer Aperture's workflow and organizational approach.

Epson 1640xl does't work with image capture.

I have an epson 1640XL scanner. I know the epson scan utiliy doesn't work with Snow Leopard. I have been instructed to use Image Capture.
I see the scanner on the left, and when it "overview" scan's the image the scanner makes noise but doesn't produce anything on the screen.
Any thoughts on how to get it working?
seth

I had all the problems stated above, while trying to scan with Image Capture. I got nothing but the "the scan operation is cancelled", after multiple tries. I called Epson. They said there was no driver that would work with OS X 10.8.4 for this scanner, and suggested that I call Apple. Apple said there was nothing they could do, and that I should call Epson. I followed the advise someone gave above, and downloaded EPSON Scan 3.8.0. The Epson software didn't work. It didn't seem to be able to pick up the 1640 XL. But, suddenly, I could preview with Image Capture. It was progress, but wouldn't work past the Overview step. The Scan button was "greyed out", not allowing me to proceed. I then tried importing through Photoshop. It works! Go to File/Import/Images from Device and you will get beautiful scans. Good luck, everyone.

Working With Image

Hi,
How to write a code by using keylistener to delete the key component in java

What do you mean by "key component?" What do you mean by "delete?" What does this have to do with Image?

Search no longer working with image collection software

I use both Skyscraper (unfortunately recently discontinued by Fortunate Bear) and HyperImage from Kavasoft to collect images off the Internet. Both have worked fine prior to Mavericks, but I now find that neither will collect images via a standard search using Google as the engine. I've also tried Yahoo! as the engine with the same negative results.
I short, I have always been able to enter a parameter in either program, say "George Washington", and have the software start to collect images based on that paramater. Neither will do that now, which leads me to believe that Mavericks is somehow interfering with this functionality. If I look at the activity logs of either program, there is no activity whatsoever.
Does anyone have any insight on this or use either of these two programs? I've tried to contact Fortunate Bear but they don't even have the program listed on their website any longer. (It's a bit strange since they just bought it last year!) I haven't yet heard back from HyperImage.
Thanks for any input!

Try running a repair disk permissions. This is done via the Disk Utility application. Reply if you need help to do this.
Also, do you have another application you can scan with? Note that Preview will use Image Capture, so you need some other application. As a test, you could download Picasa from Google which works well with TWAIN scanners.

Onclick doesn't work with images

why would you not encorporate the onclick event for images, images are after all such a big part of webpages, it severly messes up so many websites, can you please make the next version work onclick for images?

If you can't click on images then there is either a problem with that website code like another element is covering the link or you have a problem with an extension.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Working with images - Rotation and Movement

Hello there,
I have this problem that I cant seem to solve:
I need to be able to move an image arround and there are restrictions to where image should be able to move: at any given time, when dragging, image should always cover whole body of a given border_container, this is simply achieved by sending a rectangle to the startDrag function, which will specify where the image is allowed to move. I got that part right, and its working, the problem arrise when I try to rotate the border_container (with the image), it should still be only possible to drag image so it all the time covers the body of the border_container, but I don't know how to do it.
Code I use looks something like this:
image.startDrag(getImageDragRectangle());
protected function getImageDragRectangle():Rectangle
     return new Rectangle(
          this.width-image.contentWidth + x,
          this.height-image.contentHeight + y,
          Math.abs(this.width-image.contentWidth),
          Math.abs(this.height-image.contentHeight));
Edit: image is not inside the border_container (not sure how relevant it is..)
Could anyone help me out here and give me any hints or suggestions how I could fix it?

You would have to write the image to a temporary file so that the browser could read it off the server. Browsers do not have access to the database, so there's no way to get the image from the database to the browser without using some sort of interim solution.

Working with images in Indesign

I am a whole month into my first Tech Writing position and I am quickly losing what's left of my hair.
I am working on a document that was put together by my predecessor. It is a simple application note for a new software feature and has multiple images in it. Pretty basic formatting; image below the text refering to it, centered. The images have been placed with a text wrap (jump object). My problem comes when editing or replacing the text above the image. The image will stay in it's orientation to the page while the text continues to move. For example.
The document starts as:
XXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXX
image
I want to change it to:
XXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXX
image
But I am getting:
XXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXX
image
XXXXXXXXXXX
I realize that I may be asking for the impossible, but nothing ever changes when we just accept the status quo.
Thanks in advance for any help.

You can paste the image back into the text as an anchored object. Simple.

Working with images – Resizing, Add arrow & text boxes etc

I am using RH HTML for updating our Web application Help from
RoboHelp V3 to V6. It involves lot of images. I found the picture
quality good only using Word in the combination of
RoboScreenCapture.
I need to confirm that the method and steps for capturing
images using Word & RoboScreenCapture will work reliably for
both WebHelp and Printable output in Word. Please review my
detailed steps as listed below and give me your suggestions.
Here are the detailed steps I took for each method:
Starting with Resize & RoboScreenCapture:
1. From our Web application I took the screenshot.
2. I pasted the screenshot in Resize tool and resized it.
3. Opened the RoboScreenCapture, went back to the Resize tool
and by using the Screen Capture Hot key - Cntrl+Shift+R, I captured
the region. The captured screen popped up in the RoboScreenCapture
tool.
4. I drew an arrow on the image and the text box and also
entered the text in the text box. Then I saved the image in the
RoboScreenCapture.
5. Opened up the RH Html. Opened up the Web Help project file
which I am updating and pasted an image in wysiwyg.
Result
The image was not very clear looking in wysiwyg.
In Paint:
1. From our Web application I took the screenshot.
2. I pasted the screenshot in Paint, stretch the image form
100% to 80%. The quality of the image reduced dramatically.
3. Opened the RoboScreenCapture, went back to the Paint and
by using the Screen Capture Hot key - Cntrl+Shift+R, I captured the
region. The captured screen popped up in the RoboScreenCapture
tool.
4. I drew an arrow on the image and the text box and entered
the text in the text box. Then I saved the image in
RoboScreenCapture.
5. Opened up RH Html. Opened up the Web Help project file
which I am updating and pasted an image in wysiwyg.
Result
The image was not very clear looking in wysiwyg.
Finally, with Word:
1. From our Web application I took the screenshot.
2. I pasted the screenshot in Word, resized it. While in Word
I can draw an arrow on the image and the text box and entered the
text in the text box.
3. Opened the RoboScreenCapture, went back to the Word and by
using the Screen Capture Hot key - Cntrl+Shift+R, I captured the
region. The captured image popped up in the RoboScreenCapture tool.
Then I saved the image in RoboScreenCapture.
4. Opened up RH Html. Opened up the Web Help project file
which I am updating and pasted an image in wysiwyg.
Result
Nice & Clear

There's a topic about this on my site that might interest
you.
I recently tried the Microsoft Fax and Image viewer (the
freebie with XP) and reduced the window size dramatically. With a
photographic image it was very good. A quick test suggests it might
be good with text as well.

I tried pulling the record by using entered value, but then I would need to create several recordsets.
It's actually no problem doing that. Can you explain more what you want the final result of this page to display? You are pulling a recordset of the entire group of photos. Do you still want that comprehensive recordset on this page? How many other images do you want? Are you trying to make a master/detail pair where this page displays only the details for a single image? See what I mean?
