30 .jpg images. Shuffle/resize them, offer a selection of displays?

I have about 30 .jpg images which I want to display on a page in an attractive way. They are different sizes. Is the a tool that would accept them all, resize as necessary and provide me with a range of different layouts?

No, there is not a tool available that would batch process your 30 photofiles with different sizes.
This is something that needs to be done manually. Have a look at this tutorial which is relevant to all versions of PSE:
http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?p=90225&highlight=collage#post90225
You should plan the layout for the project, do the math to be sure that the canvas is of sufficient size for the 30 pictures.
Also, you can add strokes, drop shadows, to make this very attractive.
I suggest to you, esp. if you are new to this program, that you try this with 5 or 6 pictures to become familiar with the process.

Creating an array of jpg images

hi. i want to create an array of jpg images and wrap them in an arrayCollection which will serve as the dataprovider for a TileList...
the images are located in a "asset" folder within the src folder...tried both actionscript and mx tags and can't figure out how to create an array of images.
thanx.

You need to use ItemRenderers to display images in list based controls.
Here is an example in mxml
<mx:TileList>
        <mx:dataProvider>
            <mx:ArrayCollection>
                <mx:Array>
                    <mx:Object source="assets/image1.jpg"/>
                    <mx:Object source="assets/image2.jpg"/>
                    <mx:Object source="assets/image3.jpg"/>
                </mx:Array>
            </mx:ArrayCollection>
        </mx:dataProvider>
        <mx:itemRenderer>
            <mx:Component>
                <mx:Image source="{data.source}"/>

Some JPG images, stored in DB, do not display on screen/image item.

Hi friends,
I have a form to save and retrieve images (JPG, GIF, TIF) to and from DB, using WEBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER.CLIENT_TO_DB and CLIENT_IMAGE.WRITE_IMAGE_FILE respectively.
It’s working fine, but with few JPG images, it stores in DB but do not display on screen/image item.
Secondly, if I try to retrieve and write this JPG to OS (using CLIENT_IMAGE.WRITE_IMAGE_FILE), it prompts error “FRM-47101: Cannot write image file”.
Environment:
Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2
OS XP Pro 2002 SP3
Oracle DB 11g Enterprise Edition Rel. 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi,
I have done a workaround here, which worked for me.
My requirement is to direct save images in DB. So my system was just saving images without knowing if picture would display on form or not later.
I created a (non-DB) image item on form and added a code (CLIENT_IMAGE.READ_IMAGE_FILE) to place image in this image item, if it successfully display image then save image directly in DB using code (WEBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER.CLIENT_TO_DB).
Note: - If CLIENT_IMAGE.READ_IMAGE_FILE fails it raises exception and it means image has invalid format/internal data header and system does not save image in DB.
Now I have a kind of a filter to stop saving pictures which do not display later on form. :)

Why can't I resize jpg images in the applet?

I used this code to display images in an html page. One applet for one image. But out of the 8 images I loaded, 6 adjusted themselves to 320x240 automatically, 1 randomly jumps around to certain parts of the image every 250millisecs, and 1 just cuts the top left hand part of 320x240. How can .jpg files give 3 different situations? I tried using the resize() method in the code but it doesn't do anything! How can I size those .jpg images to the size I want?
/**This video stream applet loads a new image every 250ms
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Video extends Applet implements Runnable{
private Image img,buffer;
private Thread video = null;
private URL url;
private MediaTracker tracker;
public synchronized void init(){
tracker = new MediaTracker(this);
try{url = new URL(getCodeBase(),"Camera1.jpg");}
catch(MalformedURLException e){}
img = getImage(url);
tracker.addImage(img, 0);
buffer = createImage(320,240);
resize(320,240);
if(video!=null)return;
video = new Thread(this,"VideoStream");
video.start();
public synchronized void destroy(){
if(video!=null)video=null;
public void run(){
while(!Thread.interrupted()){
// Load new image.
try{tracker.waitForID(0);}
catch(InterruptedException e){}
// Draw new Image.

// Remove old image & add new one.
tracker.removeImage(img,0);
img.flush();
tracker.addImage(img,0);
// Sleep
try{Thread.sleep(250);}
catch(InterruptedException e){}
public synchronized void update(Graphics g){
Graphics bufGraph = buffer.getGraphics();
bufGraph.drawImage(img,0,0,this);
paint(bufGraph);
g.drawImage(buffer,0,0,this);
public void paint(Graphics g){
g.drawImage(buffer,0,0,this);
Also how can I add more than 1 .jpg in an applet since the applet tag for html is
<applet code = Video.class width =... height = ...>
<param name = "buffer" value = "Camera1.jpg"> ...and I can only put
</applet> one file for "value
Thanks a lot for ur help!

you may try the function getScaledInstance(int,int,int) in Class Image.
the first and second parameters are the width and height you want,the third parameter is hints-flags to indicate the type of algorithm to use for image resampling.

JPG images not displayed correctly in Bridge and Photoshop (Mac OS)

(Note: I have copied the content of this query from the Creative Suites forum where I originally opened it.)
I am using CS4 under OSX 10.4.11 on a PowerMac G5 Quad with 23" Apple cinema display. Images which have been captured as JPG are displayed fine by Preview, but when opened in Bridge, Camera Raw or Photoshop. the colours are all "washed out". The attached screen capture should give an idea of the difference, with the upper being Camera Raw (image settings) and the lower being Preview. My monitor has been calibrated and I'm using sRGB IEC61966-2.1 colour space in Camera Raw and Photoshop. The colours displayed by Preview are pretty close to "real life". I find it virtually impossible to adjust the colours in Photoshop to get back to anything similar.
After opening the image in Photoshop without adjustment, and Save As JPEG with embedded color profile, Preview displays the new image the same as Photoshop. Save As JPEG without embedded color profile, and Preview displays this copy just like the original. It seems that Photoshop is making different (incorrect) assumptions about what color space to use when there is no embedded color profile. Shouldn't it assume sRGB like virtually everything else (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRGB)? Or is its interpretation of sRGB incorrect? How can I fix this?

…If there is someone out there who has experience of obtaining decent colour management in CS4 on a Power PC, I would really like to know how you achieved it.
That would be yours truly, and I hasten to reply because I may have some insights that can help you too.
Just get it it out of the way, here's my setup:
Photoshop 11.0.2 ("CS4"); VersionCue disabled and uninstalled.—2.5 GHz Power Mac (PPC) G5-Quad; 16GB RAM; mutant, flashed 550MHz nVidia GeForce 7800GTX 1,700MHz 512MB VRAM; ATTO ExpressPCI UL5D LP SCSI card; Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 and Leopard 10.5.8 boot drives; Spotblight, Dashboard and Time Machine permanently disabled; dual 22" CRT monitors; USB wireless 'n' available but connected to the Internet via wired Ethernet; 1 FW flatbed scanner; 2 SCSI scanners (one tabloid-size transparency scanner and a film scanner); various internal & external HDs; FW Epson 2200 and Ethernet Samsung ML-2850ND printers; 2 X Back-UPS RS 1500 XS units.
I can unambiguously and in good faith represent to you that my color management, from capture to print, is as spot-on as anyone with any kind of setup can hope to achieve. Unequivocally and without qualifications.
Now, first things first: Forget about trying to synchronize color management across the point applications lumped together only by Adobe marketing fiat into a variety of meaningless "creative suites". Concentrate on Photoshop. Do not try to use Bridge to synchronize anything.
The "suites" are a totally artificial construct created by Adobe bean counters and marketing types. The point applications (i.e. the individual programs clumsily bundled together, e.g. Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc.) are developed independently by separate engineering teams that are not only not in the same building, but in different cities, different states of the American Union, and even in different countries. They have very little communication among them, if any, as evidenced by repeated posts in these forums by Photoshop engineering staff urging us, the end users, to let the other teams know in their own forums that a given problem exists and is actually affecting our work.
Enough said about the cause of the problem. The end result is that Color Management is at very, very different levels of progress and sophistication in each individual point application, with only Photoshop fully entitled to be considered state of the art.
Secondly, a disclaimer: I have been hanging on to my CRT monitors and take care of them as Jascha Heifetz used to take care of his Stradivarius. I don't know what I will do if I manage to outlive the usefulness and accuracy of my CRTs (unlikely at this point). I have despaired in futile efforts to bring the luminosity of any LCD monitor down to where I would feel comfortable calibrating and profiling it. I believe my monitors are the foundation of my color management efforts.
Especially if you have one of the extreme wide-gamut LCD or LED monitors, you'll face an uphill battle.
Be careful to avoid any version 4 icc profiles, whether canned or generated by your calibration software. Stick to version2 icc profiles. Ask the manufacturer of your calibration software/hardware if in doubt.
Here are some not-too-recent, but thoroughly representative screen shots of the calibration results I obtain with my monitors, which I calibrate and profile often and regularly (I validate the calibration at least several times per month).
In a nutshell, my color management practices and settings mirror those described by Bruce Fraser, Jeff Schewe, Andrew Rodney and Gary Ballard's site. I have learned from all of them.
My working color space is ProPhoto RGB. I choose to work with PSD and PSB files. As a long-time, rabid JPEG hater, I only rarely deal with JPEGs, using them sporadically to illustrate a point in this forum or elsewhere in the web. My main output consists of prints.
I only deal with tagged image files (files with an embedded color profile) and often recommend beating up with a baseball bat any moron that hands you an untagged file—figuratively of course, but I find the expression gets my point across unambiguously.
Following is a screen shot of some of my pertinent settings:
Note that I have never bought into the "suite" concept myself. I do have and routinely use Adobe Illustrator 10.x, InDesign 2.x and Acrobat Professional 8.x, but they are all older, independent versions of each point application, licensed at different times.
Be further advised, that the answer to many problems offered by Adobe engineers often is not to install VersionCue, or uninstall it, or at least disable it.
Also, as outlined at the beginning of this post, concentrate on Photoshop, not on synchronizing applications that can't really communicate with each other, despite the claims of Adobe marketing hacks to the contrary.
One big caveat, do not fall into this trap:

You either want to learn, or you don't. You either want to solve your problems, or you don't.
When you start arguing instead of studying, questioning advice instead of following it and detecting where you went wrong, you're on the right track to nowhere. That attitude will get you there fast. Remember you are the one with the problem, and only you can acquire the discipline to learn how to solve it.
Go ahead and ask me anything that is not clear, just don't argue with me please, and don't tell me why you think Fraser, Rodney, Ballard and I are wrong. You see, I am not experiencing any problem that needs fixing. I have an interest in helping you, but not in hearing about your speculations, theories or conclusions.
Good luck.

Premier pro cs6: how to use 400 jpg images to make a movie?

I want to use about 400 jpg images to make a movie. is there a way to add them to a sequence in a random order?

I'm not aware of a randomize feature either, but here is a suggested workflow that may make it easier than shuffling 400 images around in Premiere:
Open your images in Bridge
Move them around to meet your random requirement
Highlight all images (Ctrl-A)
Right-click / batch rename and add a sequence number to the front of each name (I like to add a text "_" too) and copy the resulting set of images to an empty directory
Import the whole directory into Premiere
Automate to timeline
I used to use Liquid and it had a wonderful freestyle way to pre-order your clips or images prior to dumping them onto your timeline, and the above workflow is how I have come to approximate the same.

Downsampling algorithm for JPG images in both PDF or automatic mode

Hello,
the question is: which algorithm is used when images are formatted by the Folio Builder in the Folio or Articles properties?
My question is focused on the static images and I know that it would be better to resize images before placing them in the document.
The question is also related to the image format.
If I use a non-compressed format such as the TIFF (without compression) then the images are re-formatted as JPG or PNG.
We know that both automatic and PDF option saves images as JPG or PNG depending by the transparency contained in the graphics.
After this considerations I think that save static images as PNG before placing them in InDesign document could be a solution to obtain images without any compression.
Am I right?

Thanks Ankit,
but in the article there is no response to my question: which algorithm is used to downsample the images and wich is the best way to mantein the images quality in both Automatic and PDF.
This is the problem.
Thanks

JPG images get corrupted during import to Premiere CS5.5

I'm doing time lapse movies, and import a series of images by choosing the first file, and checking "Numbered stills". After the import (of about 420 JPG files), one of them was being corrupted. It now has a discolored break in it:
The corruption was not present before the import, so it was definitely caused by Premiere CS5.5. Unfortunately, I no longer have the original file (from my memory card). So I essentially lost this image (although the embedded thumbnail is still intact).
Is this a known issue? Will there be a fix?

Thanks for your comments and links, everyone. I've read them, and want to clarify a few things:

Too many of too large pictures can cause problems
Thanks for posting these. I find it disappointing, that large pictures are not being handled well by Premiere. I mean, the images that I'm using are 3648x2736. If that is considered too large, then I would need to batch resize them, e.g., to 1920x1440. But then I would not be able to get high-quality panning and zooming...
Jim Simon wrote:
I no longer have the original file
You must have it. PP doesn't do anything to imported assets other than show them to you. If the image wasn't exactly where it was when you imported it, Premiere Pro would simply see it as offline.
That's not correct, I'm afraid. Each time I import one or more images, Premiere edits the file(s). I believe it is related to the XMP ID. You can even "watch" it do the edits because every JPG file briefly gets rewritten with ._00_ in front of its original file name, e.g., IMG_1234.JPG briefly becomes ._00_IMG_1234.JPG. Afterwards, the original file is being replaced with the new one (which apparently contains the XMP ID tag now).
On a sidenote: I've had several files stay with the ._00_ file name but the original was removed. Meaning that Premiere somehow "forgot" to rename them back. This happened on 8-12 images (out of 600). Very weird.

I'm assuming that's what's causing it. And yes, that option is enabled on my computer. So while the XMP ID tagging went fine for the other 419 images (and frankly for thousands of others before that), it somehow went wrong on one of them. (I should say two because it did happen twice to me so far.)
I will disable the option "Write XMP ID to files on import" from now on, and hope that I can avoid image corruption by that. But from what I understood, this will have other consequences (performance degradation).
The only alternative would be to keep a backup copy of all images before importing them to Premiere...
In any case, I believe this is a bug that should be fixed - together with the above mentioned bug on large images.

How can I get a tab to open in an oversize jpg image in its original size with scroll bars when I click on a link?

I have a small program for storing my genealogy names and jpg images of the census pages where each name is found. The images have a thumbnail link that opens in a new tab to view the actual oversized census page. In the new tab the census page is small and not readable. How do I get the jpg image to appear in its original size with schroll bars so I can read the census in the firefox browser without using the zoom feature. It takes several clicks on the zoom to get the image to a readable size and that is time consuming, especially when I have several images opened.

That works, thank you!
Could I suggest that this feature (the ability to turn off or turn on the auto-resize of images) be part of the Options tab on Firefox? I think it's a setting that some users might want to change fairly often--even toggle back and forth on. It's a little annoying to have to go into about:config every time to do this.

Why can't I open a .jpg image

I recently copied some images on a CD. I can open half of them and the other half, I get the following message.
Item "DSC.0647.JPG" is used by Mac OSX and cannot be opened.
What the heck does that mean? I have tried Preview, Photoshop, PhotoElements, everything to try to open these images and to no avail. There is no difference in the ones I can open, all are .jpg images, and all were copied the same way at the same time. I tried to open them before I upgraded to 10.4.5, and tried after, also tried on my laptop - won't open.....
Does anyone have any suggestions....I need these images!!!!!

Is your laptop also a Mac? If not what error mesage
do you get when trying to open on that machine. If
it is a Mac, copy the image to something like a USB
flash drive and try to open on a Windows PC. The
point is to see if the problem is with the image file
itself or your Mac.
Other things to try are as follow:
1) rename the image. Click on the file name to
highlight, hit enter and type a new name. If you are
going to open on a Windows PC you must add the.jpg
after the name.
2) Create a new user on your machine and try to open
the image when logged in as the New User.
3) Run Check and Fix Permissions from the Disk
Utiliy.
Report back here on what you discover and perhaps
someone will recognise the problem.

Alan, thank you for your suggestions:
My laptop is also a MAC and I get the same message. I've actually already tried the other options you mentioned, but to no avail. What I discovered that I did not see at first is that when the images were copied, they somehow were copied and show up as a 2KB file. I know that is not right, since the other images show up as regular large files 1.5 mb etc.
I copied all the files at the same time, but I did not take the images all on the same day. I cannot imagine how this happened, unless through some means, which I have no clue, my camera settings got messed up somehow and perhaps was set on email size images, but I'd still be able to see and open them. However, I also tried to email the images to myself or someone else and still can't read them. Unless someone has an answer as to how that might have happened, then I have to assume there is nothing I can do to get them restored.
I believe these images are a loss after seeing the size they copied, and think I've lost those items which is a shame, since you can never duplicate a picture taken at a specific time.....

Trying to overlay text onto images and save them.

What I want: I have a computer running the media in my car and I want to hook up a camera to it that'll record when the computer is running and overlay the GPS speed onto the video for later viewing.
What I got: I have the following piece of code that saves a series of .jpg images at a specified frame rate and a separate Java application that puts them together into a .mov file to view later. I couldn't find anything to record the straight video so if you have any links for that, please point me. But for now I'll settle for doing it this way and I'm not too concerned with the GPS speed NMEA parsing for now, I'll just use a static speed label until I get the overlaying working.
What I need: I need to know what to plug into the speedOverlay() method in order to grab the image and put the speed on top of it before saving it and moving to the next image. Any ideas?

Sorry guys, I haven't looked at your links yet but I will, once I get some time to sit down and code again. I just wanted to provide this piece of code that uses the Graphics2d you're talking about to overlay text onto an image but I haven't been able to plug it into my code at all. If you're links answer the question, I'm sorry, just providing it until I can actually sit down and spend time on the research you've given me. Thanks.

Creating a .jpg image from with in the J2ME app

Hi,
I want to send a document to the printer over bluetooth to print.
For that I searched on net, but couldn't find any APIs supported by J2ME to print it. I also found a link http://www.hcilab.org/documents/tutorials/Brother/ where I found that I can send the data by creating an image and then writing data (text or image ) in to it, and then sending that image to print.
Image img = Image.createImage(816, 40);
Graphics g = img.getGraphics();
g.setColor(0, 0, 0);
g.setFont(Font.getFont(Font.FACE_PROPORTIONAL, Font.STYLE_BOLD,Font.SIZE_LARGE));
g.drawString("Printing test from "
                         + System.getProperty("microedition.platform") + " on "
                         + new Date(), 10, 10, 0);
driver.print(img, btAddr);This code is working fine on this printer.
I am using HP 460cb printer, and I tried the same thing, but am not getting any results. Can any one of you tell me what mistake am I making.
                Image blankImage = Image.createImage(SpotBilling.MAX_IMG_WIDTH, SpotBilling.MAX_IMG_HEIGHT);
                Graphics g = blankImage.getGraphics();
                g.setColor(0,0,0);
                g.setFont(Font.getFont(Font.FACE_PROPORTIONAL, Font.STYLE_PLAIN, Font.SIZE_SMALL));
                g.drawString("Printing test on Wednesday - 18th Jan, 2006", 10, 50, Graphics.TOP|Graphics.LEFT);
                g.drawImage(imgTest, 60, 150, Graphics.HCENTER | Graphics.VCENTER);
                int width = blankImage.getWidth();
                int height = blankImage.getHeight();
                int y = 0;
                os.write(CMD_UNIVERSAL_EXIT);
                for(int i = 1; i<=height; i++){
                         blankImage.getRGB(temp, 0, width, 0, y, width, 1);
                         byte[] pixels = new byte[width];
                         for (int x = 0; x < temp.length; x++) {
                              pixels[x] = (byte) ((((temp[x] & 0x00FF0000) >> 16)
                                   + ((temp[x] & 0x0000FF00) >> 8) + (temp[x] & 0x000000FF)) / 3);
                         // Transfer Raster Graphics
                         os.write(TRANSFER_RASTER_DATA);
                         byte[] len = numToDecimal(pixels.length);
                         os.write(len);
                         os.write(DATA);
                         os.write(pixels);
                         y++;
                    }I have another query, if I can not do this. Is there any way I can create a .jpg image from with in the J2ME application.
I have some text and an image that I get by invoking camera from the code and then capturing a picture. I need to combine them both, and then send it to the printer.
If there is any way, I can convert this blankImage mentioned above (containing both text and Image), please provide me the solution.
Any document or any source code is appreciated.
regards,
Ashish

I have succeeded in creating a mutable image that contains text and image (.png), through
                     Image img;
                     img = Image.createImage(50, 60);
     protected void paint(Graphics g){
          g.drawImage(img, getWidth()/2, getHeight()/2, Graphics.HCENTER | Graphics.VCENTER);
          Graphics graph = img.getGraphics();
          graph.setColor(0, 0, 0);
          graph.setFont(Font.getFont(Font.FACE_PROPORTIONAL, Font.STYLE_BOLD,
                         Font.SIZE_LARGE));
          graph.drawString("Printing test from "
                                   + System.getProperty("microedition.platform") + " on ", 10, 10, 0);
          graph.drawImage(image, img.getWidth()/2, img.getHeight()/2,Graphics.HCENTER|Graphics.VCENTER);
          graph.fillArc(0,0,10,10,0, 360);
     }Now I want to create a .jpg image of this img image(Mutable image).
What I am doing is that,
1. I am converting this image in to int array, using getRGB() method.
2. Then I am converting int array in to byte array.
3. And then I am opening a file(extension is .jpg)
4. Then I am sending this byte array in to the file which is .jpg
The .jpg file is getting created, but the data in it is very absurd, like yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
Please help me in this matter.

Ashish

Is there a way to import large photos without it resizing them?

I have a series of historical USGS maps that are in JPG format. I synced them to the iphone using Itunes and I came to discover the phone resized them down so I can't zoom in to the level of detail I need. Is there a way to sync them as their original size? I have the 16 gig phone so space is not a problem. It would be handy in my research to have these maps at my fingertips.
Mike

Thanks, I saw an app for filesanywhere which is good because I already have an account with them. Works well except I have to login to see the iphone (local) files stored Is there an app that would just let me browse the iphone so I can copy stuff over as I like ?

How do I create an outline from a .JPG image?

I have Illustrator CS6 for Windows 7.
I'm trying to create an outline for the image. It's just a single .jpg image.

You mean something like this?
Make two circles with the same top origin. Select both and rotate/copy them 120° to the left and right. Select them all, use the Pathfinder panel to combine them. Delete the the center triangle. Ungroup them. Add the small center circle and the other shape and make it a compound path (should knockout the center). Give it a stroke. Make the back two circles and make a compound path and send to back.

How to save 4 artboards as 1 JPG image in Adobe Illustrator?

I am doing an online class for fundamentals of design.
I had to create 4 different designs, so I did this by doing them on 4 different artboards.
I need to save my work for "web and devices..." as a JPG image in Adobe Illustrator (this i can do). But I want to save this assignment as 1 JPG image with all four artboards showing on one image.
Can anyone tell me how to do this step by step.
Thanks so much!!!
Oh I am using Adobe Illustrator CS5.1

Make a new artboard by selecting the Artboard tool and shift-click where you want it to start, then drag it out to cover all four of the images.

30 .jpg images. Shuffle/resize them, offer a selection of displays?
