About "referenced" and archived images in AP Library

Most of my images are archived in Aperture Library but I would like to know which images are "referenced" in order to consolidate them.
How can I know it?

You can open the filters HUD and set a filter for "File Status" and check Managed or Referenced, to filter those images out that are stored inside or outside your library.
You can also use this to create a Smart Album with all your Managed or Referenced images.

Question about Licences and Stock Images

My school is having a tshirt design contest. In the design that they like, the tshirt uses a royalty free stock image. I took that image (of a grunge frame) off the website for 1 credit (free with a new account) and manipulated it to fit the tshirt design with a whole bunch of other elements. The problem is that the licence I got from them is not the extended one that allows resale with products. The cost of being able to do this is 100 credits, or $88. No way is the school going to do that.
The image is stretched, parts are removed, and another image is screened on top, making only really the outline show up. Also, I increased the size to the point of it being all pixely before throwing it in to a paint stroke filter. Would there be issues if the school sold this tshirt without the extended license, even if I changed the image? I don't want to be liable for anything!

For what I think you are referring to, I often create my own "grunge" frame.
While I have three sets of "frames," I often find that I need something "close," but "different." Though my commercial sets are "Royalty Free," I seldom use them, as I bought them.
I have also created some, that were similar, say a Polaroid-type frame, by scanning an actual Polaroid. Lots of ways to create something, that really fits the bill.
As for # 50,000, I will try to make it worthwhile...
Good luck,
Hunt

Is there anyway to delete both the photo in iphoto and the image in the library at the same time? I'm on version 8.1.2.

Just wondering if there's a work around.

Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

A few questions about Canvas and other Image related stuff.

I am just starting to play around with Canvas in the hopes of using it to make a little game (not an applet) in my spare time. I have gotten a ball to bounce around the screen and switch colors when it bounces without too much work. (hooray for me!).
I was wondering:
1) If you always have to repaint the whole area of the canvas, or can you repaint sections of the screen?
2) Can there only be one canvas per frame, or if you can have more, like say, one for each sprite (I tried in my own simplistic way but the second canvas overrode the first when I added it to the frame) or do you have to lay out all the sprites in one canvas every time before you paint?
3) Is Canvas the best platform for rendering my animations and doing collision detection, or are other ways of presenting the images better? By better I mean lower usage of resources, higher speed, accessibility of events that occur. (I have read in the mindprod java glossary "[Canvas] receives all the raw mousing events. Panels, in contrast, see only a few.")
4) In a call to paint which tells it to display some images which are much larger than the frame the canvas is in, is time and effort spent working on those pixels that aren't displayed or does it take about the same amount of resources as for images that fit in the frame since the same amount of picture is actually displayed?
5) Is there any convenient way to layers with canvas besides just controlling the order in which the images are painted. (I will admit I haven't searched for this information yet, because I just thought about it.)
6) Is there any other information you guys would care to bestow on me?
If any of this question is ridiculous, obvious, ignorant or any other negative adjective, then I apologize. I will continue messing around in the meantime.
Thanks

Okay, well I got it to work by drawing them both to the same canvas. duh I guess.
Can you have more than one canvas in a frame? How do you set the size if so.
How do I implement the z-order? I thought of doing it manually by sending the paint method a list of objects to paint and manually managing the order of that list. Would that be an acceptable way to do it?
Should I only be trying to paint to one canvas? What I would like to do is have several canvases with transparent backgrounds so that I can draw different layers in the same frame. That way flying stuff would be painted on a different canvas than stuff on the ground, and then putting it all in a frame would tie the pictures together into a scene. Kind of like how they do distance in animation by having different layers of drawings on clear plastic that they can move at different speeds to give the illusion of depth.
Any advise? Sorry for the douba-post
Thanks

Fundamental Question about Lightroom and saving images

I have to laugh as I get ready to pose this question because I've been working with the program for two weeks with Scott Kelby's book and with Lynda.com, and I'm still profoundly confused about what is happening to the photo. To wit: I open a camera raw file in lightroom and start playing with it, even taking snapshots at various stages along the way. If I don't export the photo to Photoshop and save it there, what becomes of these changes? Do they stay with the photo always? Do they disappear when I shut down the program? There's no SAVE button with Lightroom which just plain flummoxes me! Can anyone 'splain this to me, please? Thanks.

To clarify. Nothing happens to your originals. Lightroom stores the edits in a database (and if you wish alongside the original in a xmp sidecar file) as a set of instructions that the program uses to recreate the end product by following the instructions. These instructions are changed in the database while you're changing parameter values in Lightroom, so there is no need to save. Also, Lightroom stores a history of changes you did, so you can always go back. Both Lightroom and Adobe's camera raw plugin for photoshop can be used to follow the set if instructions. This way, you always get the highest fidelity image and you can always go back to your development choices without loosing any quality or having to dig up backups. Because of this, you can create multiple virtual copies with different development approaches without having to make a copy of the original and therefore saving you gobs and gobs of disk space. When you need a file for consumption such as a jpeg for a web page, simply export a copy, which burns in your development changes in a developed copy (just like printing a negative would have in the olden days) and trash the copy when you're done with it. You can always recreate it very quickly. This is a radically different approach than you're probably used to.

Question about loading and using Images.

I know how to load an image and to draw it onto a canvas etc etc. However my question is to do with the efficiency of loading multiple images (possibly the same image!) and using them together. I have multiple objects, all instances of the same class, which all draw themselves onto a screen in different positions. However they all use the same 3 images (depending on an internal state).
So if I create 5 of these objects and each object calls to load the same image using something along the lines of:
url = this.getClass().getResource("MyImage.png");
normalImage = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(url);Does this mean that in the memory there are 5 exactly the same copies of this image? Or does java do something clever and use one image that they would all reference? I suspect I will have 5 in memory but I wanted to ask about this before going and making an imageManager class where I load all the images and just use getMethods in that when drawing. I will not be preforming any transforms or anything on any of the images so they can all literally be the same image but simply drawn in multiple positions on the one canvas.
(note: I am using active rendering to draw these images myself and then blit it to the screen ...).

Use ImageIO rather than Toolkit--with Toolkit you need to use a MediaTracker to ensure you have your image loaded before you try to use it.
If you load an image and then do this:
MyImage1 = MyImage;
MyImage2 = MyImage;
MyImage3 = MyImage;
There are 4 references to the Image in MyImage. If you don't specifically use a method that gives you a new Image, usually, you are getting a refrence to an image already loaded in memory.

Question about downloading and editing images from sd card

I know you can use an sd card connector kit to download images to the newè iPads. A few questions:
My sd card has both a raw and jpeg version of each image, but I only want to download the jpegs. Since I believe the iOS doesn't show file extensions, how can I identify just the jpeg images?
Once on the ipad, where are the photos placed?
Can you create separate folders and place certain images in them?
And if you edit an image and save it as a different file, can I place it in a folder I've created?

This is an iPad question and should be posted in the iPad discussion which is located here:

What is the difference between "Save image to downloads" and "save image to iPhoto library"???

Typically I have been saving my photos to the iphoto library. Im not sure which is the best option. What is the difference between these 2 options?

one goes to your downloads folder and the other goes to your iPhoto library.

Upload and display image in webside

Hello Friends,
I am developing an auction web site ,and facing some problem so I need your help.
There is some confusion about uploading and displaying images in website .In web based
application if I want to upload images than where have to store the images database or server
side any folder .I have not idea about that please send your ideas and sussesions.
Second problem is What is the best way to display images in webside either giving a direct
path of server side image folder or I need to retrieve all images from database .
I have no idea about it please send me your guideline which are usefull for me to implement in my
website.
what is the correct way to upload and display images in website ?
Thanks . Have a nice day.

If you are using a Container you just leave your image files in the home directory of your web application. And forget this idea about database. It´s not necessary in this case.
To display the images just use HTML, <img src="url">.

Diff. between content server and archive server(SARA on content server)

I am very interested about difference between content server and archive server. Is there content server supplied by SAP and archive server by third party producers or something else?
If so dditionally what needs to be done to archive data (via Sara) on content server. I did it on sap R/3 4.0 on an archive server. Is it huge difference to do it on 4.7x2 on content server?

Hey,
The content server is used to save documents,
and SARA (and other third party producers) are used to archive old data.
For example:
You should use Content server - When you need to save un-structured data about worker (e.g: pictures, documents and etc) .
You should use SARA (and other third parties) - When you need to move to archive old
worker which have left your organization before 5 or more years (there for they are not relevant for you)
Here is some more information about Content server
from help.sap.com:
"Therefore, besides the SAP database, an external content server is always available in every SAP system installation. In this way, the necessary technical infrastructure is provided for all document-centric applications and business scenarios that do not require a long-term archiving solution"
Here is some more information about SARA and archiving
from help.sap.com:
"Data Archiving removes from the database application data from closed business transactions that are no longer relevant for the operational business. The archived data is stored in archive files that can be accessed by the system in read-only mode."
for more information:

Backups and Archives

I have a doubt about backups and archives.
My database is in archivelog mode. Then I make a whole backup of the database.
rman> backup tag='bk_level0_200809' incremental level 0 database;
What happens with the earlier generated archives before database backup, can I delete them? or I only require to have the generated archives after backup?

You will need only archives after first full backup.

How to change to working with referenced images but keep library on laptop

Hi,
So, my iPhoto library is getting too big - I'd like to be able to have the images stored on an external drive and refer to them from within iPhoto, whilst keeping the iPhoto Library itself on the laptop. I know exactly how to do this from scratch, by unchecking 'copy items to my iPhoto library' in advanced preferences, but I'm trying to figure out how to convert my existing library, which has all the photos stored within it, to one where all the original files are on an external drive and are referenced by iPhoto. This way, I can see the previews when I'm away without the external drive attached.
Thanks!

There is no easy way to do it and I would strongly urge you to reconisder.
In a Referenced Library, iPhoto creates aliases to the location of the actual file. While there is at least one app that will help you replace those aliases with the actual files (convert a Referenced to Managed library) there is no app that will convert those files to aliases that point to the new location of the files. You will need to do each file manually.
More importantly, iPhoto has no tools to manage Referenced files. While on the same volume, aliases will track moved files. However this is not the case where the files are on different volumes. The upshot of this is that should the link to the files be broken then you could find yourself reconnecting each and every alias in your Library, one by one.
Also, I'm not sure about 09 but earlier versions of iPhoto would not open if there were movie files in the Library that were not available at time of launch.
You can move an entire Library to an external disk. There are firewire and usb disks now no bigger than a pack of playing cards and will run from the laptop's power supply.

Mixed library - managed and referenced - and not sure what's best

I've just come back to try iPhoto after a long time away. In the old days I used it exclusively to manage my photo library but wasn't a fan of how it forced all my photos into it's slightly unfriendly folder structure in the Finder and hence sort of force me to only ever use iPhoto to manage them.
I graduated to learning Photoshop, got a DSLR, ditched iPhoto and maintained my own folder structure on the Finder. I was happy!
But now I've got iPhoto '08 and I see you can import to iPhoto but NOT copy to the Library. Great! So I've started loading in all my personal 'event' photos as opposed to the more arty stuff that 75% of my photos consist of. It's nice to view them in iPhoto. But now it's getting complex. Now I have some older photos from before that are managed wholesale by the app, and all these others that are allegedly only 'referenced'. So, why is the Library expanding pretty heavily? And why, if I move a photo or even delete it in the Finder, are those changes not reflected whatsoever in iPhoto. What's actually going on in that Library???
Furthermore, some of these new photos are Adobe RGB and others are sRGB. If I want to print a photobook via iPhoto, do I need to change them all to sRGB to maintain consistent colour in the book? And does that mean deleting all the photos in iPhoto, re-saving the originals as sRGB, then re-importing the referenced files? I ask because like I say, changing the FInder-based files does not seem to reflect in iPhoto.
So far I'm not liking this. I'm very unwilling to import duplicates into the Library, thereby doubling the space taken up by my images!

owen-b
Here's my 2 cents.
Best option: let iPhoto manage the files.
2nd best option: You manage them
Recipe for Disaster: A mixture.
Here's why: The folder structure in iPhoto is very plain and easy to follow (and has been since v6 - which is also when the ability to reference files came in). A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
Events in the iPhoto Window correspond exactly with the Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library package file (Right click on it in the Pictures Folder -> Show Package Contents).
You can move photos between Events, you can rename Events, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Event Name using the Info Pane, the Event Folder in iPhoto Library/Originals will also have the new name.
Finding files is easy: There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
You can set Photoshop or any editor as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically.
If you run iPhoto outside the default setting, with referenced files, then you become responsible for all the file management. Importing and deleting are multi-stage operations and migrating to a new disk or Mac can be more complex. To be honest - and always allowing for personal preference - I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
The problem with the third option - mixed - is that it's far too easy to forget who's managing which file - you or the app - and that way, data loss lies.
To specific questions:
And why, if I move a photo or even delete it in the Finder, are those changes not reflected whatsoever in iPhoto.
iPhoto is a database. Like any database it cannot know about changes you make outside of the application. Think of it this way. You hire a filing clerk, let the clerk loose organising your files. Then the clerk goes home for the day and you go into the filing room and re-arrange things. Next day you complain because the clerk can't find your files?
If you use iPhoto referencing your files, then deleting is a two stage process. Move the files to the iPhoto trash and empty it removes them from iPhoto. Then remove them from your own filing structure. If iPhoto manages the files, trashing them in iPhoto removes them from the HD as well. Moving files around in the Finder is hiding them from the filing clerk
So, why is the Library expanding pretty heavily?
Check out the structure of the library as described above. In the referenced library the Originals is populated with aliases, but the Modifieds does include pics that are flagged for auto rotation.
I'm very unwilling to import duplicates into the Library, thereby doubling the space taken up by my images!
Understandable. So don't waste the space. Let iPhoto manage the files and trash your own structure! A big leap, perhaps too big, so think about the referenced format. However, I have to say that a mixed library increases the risk of data loss exponentially.
I'll leave the questions on color management to those more knowledgeable than me.
Hope that helps.
Regards
TD

IPhoto 6 library and RAW images

Trying to conserve disk space, I have burned my entire photo library off onto DVD's and started to import again, using the iPhoto 6 alias feature. (I didn't have a lot of keywords entered, so I didn't lose too much in the way of "organization"). I imported the first batch of RAW images and iphoto not only makes thumbnails, but a 1 - 2 meg JPEG of each RAW image. Granted, not as large as the RAW image itself, but I can see this eating up HD space just the same. Also, iPhoto doesn't keep track of the external drive (DVD in this case) that the images came from, so when I go to copy/edit/whatever any particular photo, I have to remember what disk its on (not that hard, since I put a comment in the roll comments box of the disk the roll is from). But, is this the acceptable norm for cataloging images???? I am really trying to figure out a way to use iPhoto as my image cataloging software, but so far it seems like a lot of hoops to jump through.

Robert:
I've used the alias feature of iPhoto with jpgs with great success. But RAW files create a whole new problem with their accompanying jpg files, etc. I have all of my source files on an external HD so it's easier to manage than a lot of DVD disks. My 27G of source files, (17,000 photos), are represented by an alias library of 1.7G.
What you're experiencing with the disks is about the norm with image management applications working with off line source files. You need to know the ID of the disk the files are one so you can recover the full sized images easily. If your disks contain multiple folders of photos then you can add the disk name to the beginning of the roll name for easy sorting, etc.
You can use Albums for grouping rolls from the same disk. HOWEVER, don't use Smart Albums for that because there's a bug that will cause the library to crash and not open again if you go in and change the sorting within that smart album.

Aperture Library-referenced and managed-how to add to...

I'm trying to put all my images in one library.
Right now, I have a library that contains some referenced images, and some managed images.
I want to make the entire library referenced. That is, I want all of th original images stored seperatley from the Aperture Library.
Should I reconnect (consolidate) the images that are currently referenced and then proceed to make all of them referenced, or can I select the images that aren't referenced and add them to the same folder where my other originals currently stored?
Thanks

For the ones currently managed: File -> Relocate Masters. or Relocate Original
