Access metadata and images using Lightroom API

It would be great to access the images in the Lightroom library from outside Lightroom (including all post-processing of course). This would enable 3rd party applications to integrate the library into the application. This is especially useful for media centers.

You would really need a shared catalog and image files on an external hard dive. Then connect the ehd to either machine, as needed.
I personally use a master catalog on my desktop machine and a travel catlog on my Macbook pro. That lets me shoot photos, apply metadata and edit them on the road and when I get home I simply import the travel catalog into the combined master catalog.
This video tutorial from Adobe Evangelist Julieanne Kost gives a demonstration of how to use a travel catalog on-location.

Is it possible to extract the text and images using PHP

Hi friends,
Is it possible to extract the text and images using PHP, in the same order as it is in the PDF?
Else is it possible extract the same as XML using PHP, or ASP
I googled it but its in vain, any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Mike,
Thanks for your quick reply,
I mean is it possible to parse the PDF line by line using the PHP.
I extracted the whole text but couldn't the images. Since the PDF's images are decoded using various methods like DCTDecode, JPXDecode, etc.
The text is decoded with FlateDecode, which i breaked using a function in PHP.
Thanks,

Why does a pop up screen ask me to extract the image using Lightroom Installer, when all I want to do is view it ?

My local computer shop solved the problem. Apparently when you download cloud it changes a lot of settings.
So second issue.
Why do I now get asked to burn to disc rather than saving to my hard drive when I want to export from Lightroom ?

MS ACCESS, ColdFusion and Image Problems

I have done this before using PHP and Mysql and it was pretty
simple. I now need to do this in ColdFusion and MS Access 2003.
I want to store logos in a database. After reading up on it,
I found that you store images in Access using the OLE Object
Datatype - done. Now the real fun part starts.
I am trying now to display these logos from the MS Access
2003 database onto a webpage using Coldfusion. I have looked into
it, and one article suggested using the BLOB type - which is what
you do in MySQL, but in MS Access that option is not available. So
I looked into it somemore, and it seems that there are three
functions that you need to use, and they are in Visual Basic -
provided in part by Microsoft, but it seems EXTREMELY way too
complicated for simply displaying an image staored in a Database.
Has anyone been able to store and display images using MS
Access and Coldfusion before? If so, could you guide me?

The reason for storing the image in the database is that our
company wants it that way for portability reasons. Filenames
change, directories get lost when moving from one system to
another. Databases are easier to backup and are more efficient when
it comes to searching metadata. We have over 300 logos we must
store for our different organizations - having a directory for each
is complicated.
Has anyone had issues like this with Coldfusion and MS
Access? If so could you guide me?
-Thanks

How to use Properties Metadata global service using KM API's

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to get the list of property Namespaces configured in the KM Portal and also all property Names associated with each Namespace.
I was able to see the list of Namespaces in KM portal at "ContentManagement --> Global Services --> Property Metadata --> Namespaces"
Is there any way to access the Property Metadata service and get the list of Namespaces?
I have seen few posts using the IPropertyConfigurationService as below:
IPropertyConfigurationService configService;
try {
configService =
(IPropertyConfigurationService) ResourceFactory
.getInstance()
.getServiceFactory()
.getService("PropertyConfigurationService");
} catch (PropertyConfigurationServiceException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
I am not sure if IPropertyConfigurationService has API's to give the list of Namespaces as I was not able to figure out the jar file in which API's related to IPropertyConfigurationService exists.
Will the IPropertyConfigurationService be useful to fetch all the configured Namespaces? If so, which jar file should I place in my build and class path?
Also, Can I get the property names associated with each namespace?
Any help or hint is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Suresh.

Hi Praveen,
Thanks for the information on km.shared.service.propertyconfig_api.jar file. I have located the file in the mentioned location and was using it sucessfully.
I was able to use IPropertyConfigurationService and fetch the MetaData properties in the Portal application.
But, when I place the same code on WebDynpro application it doesn't work.
I have placed the km.shared.service.propertyconfig_api.jar in lib folder of the WebDynpro project, but on runtime I get ClassNotFound exceptions of various classes.
I was wondering if there is any configuration that need to be mentioned for accessing KM Portal applications in WebDynpro.
I have found one post related to this which was talking about using IPropertyConfigurationService in WebDynpro, but not directly, using EJB
Link:[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?threadID=338383]
Can you throw some hints on how to go about this issue.
Thanks,
Suresh.

Writing specialized metadata to image using Javascript...

I'm working on a project where we are dumping metadata from a database into a text file and then writing it to images using javascript. As long as I use the fields listed in the Javascript reference manual, it works perfectly.
However, the client has asked me to write specialized metadata. I created a panel for them to add in the extra fields. Is there a way to get Javascript to write the extra fields? (Is there a way to extend the DocumentInfo class in Javascript? Me thinks not...but I thought I'd ask.)
Thanks,
Laura

I very interested in this as well... Found an answer yet? Seem silly to me that do don't have access to all of your tags...

Problem accessing gmail with IMAP using JavaMail APIs

Hi,
I am trying to access my gmail account with JavaMail API. I am able to access it using pop3s but not with IMAP.
I have used following details:
protocol: imap
host: imap.gmail.com
port: -1 (also tried with 993) but no success.
My basic code is
url = new URLName(protocol, getHostname(), 993, mbox,
                          getUsername(), getPassword());
         Properties props = null;
         try {
          props = System.getProperties();
         } catch (SecurityException sex) {
          props = new Properties();
         session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
          session.setDebug(true);
        store = session.getStore(url);
        store.connect();
        folder = store.getFolder(url);
        folder.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);Any pointers?
Thanks.

Changed protocol from "imap" to "imaps"....and used port 993...and its working!!!!

How to change the parameter 'Default Servers To Use For Viewing And Modification' using java api dynamically.

Hi,
I need to change the Crystal Reports setting 'Default Servers To Use For Viewing And Modification' to a particular server.this i need to do using java api.
could you pls provide me the sample code for this.
Regards
Srinivas

The IReport interface extends IViewingServerGroupInfo interface, that allows you to specify the server group.
The choice selection for that interface is as follows: 0 = first available, 1 = prefer the selected server group, and 2 = only use the selected server group.
The server group selection is by the SI_ID for that server group InfoObject.

Scaling and Image using ActionScript 3.0

Hello, I need some help from the experts out here. I have created a thumbnail gallery and am using an external ActionScript 3.0 document to try and scale each of the thumbnails as I rollover them. There are 23 thumbnails. Rather than define all the variables and functions for all 23, is there a way I can create some sort of array so that each thumbnail will be scaled by the instance name defined in the variable array and same for the functions. The code below works for one image I have created. As you can see the idea is to hover over the image, it scales up, then you click on it and are taken to some other content stored locally or externally on a web server. Thanks in advance.

How to get Portal Login user ID and Groups using UME API in JSPDynpages

Hi Experts,
How can I get the portal logged user ID and bsed on that ID need to get his assigend groups.
For this Initially I need to get the logged user ID using UME API.
Can you drop the code to write and display using JSP Dynpages?
Thanks
Venkat.

Hi,
Try the below code
IUserFactory userfact=UMFactory.getUserFactory();
IUser user=userfact.getUserByUniqueName(request.getUser().getUserId());
String usrid=user.getUniqueName();
And also you can get the groups assigned to user by using the below code
Iterator groups = user.getParentGroups(true);
while (groups.hasNext()) {
     String groupstr = (String) groups.next();
     IGroup g = UMFactory.getGroupFactory().getGroup(groupstr);
     response.write("Group name "g.getUniqueName()"<br>");

How can you stretch an image using JMF API

How is it possible to strech or zoom the video using JMF API? Streching may not distort the resolution, but, zooming might as I imagiine.

You can zoom with something like this:
public void zoomTo(float z) {
     if (visualComp != null) {
          insets = getInsets();
          Dimension d = visualComp.getPreferredSize();
          d.width = (int) (d.width * z);
          d.height = (int) (d.height * z);
          if (controlComp != null)
          d.height += controlComp.getPreferredSize().height;
          setSize(d.width + insets.left + insets.right,
               d.height + insets.top + insets.bottom);
}I suposse visualComp is the visualComponent of a player and this zoomTo(..) method is in a Component so you can call to setSize(..) method.
Of course the float z is the scale of zoom.
... i hope!

Converting documents to images using OpenOffice API

Is it possible to convert e.g. a Word document into a TIFF image using the OpenOffice API with JAI? If so, any pointers as to how this would be done?
Thanks,

Oops... I didn't notice that you mentioned all that Microsoft stuff. The answer is still yes, I think, but you might want to look into some other language than Java.

How can I integrate metadata and keywords in Lightroom with those in Photoshop, Bridge, and Photoshop Elements? In other words, is there a way to retrieve common metadata templates from all modules? Thanks!

Keyword and Metadata Integration throughout Adobe Modules

Thanks! That's helpful.
What I mean by "common metadata", is a unified, updated, most current metadata, which I could update in each program. That is without overwriting the metadata, but appending new keywords to the metadata I created in the previous program.
I use Bridge, then Lightroom and finally Photoshop. That's the regular workflow: Bridge for preliminary sorting and and adding some keywords; Lightroom for organizing and picking the best images; finally, Photoshop for processing. I got Photoshop Elements on trial. Doesn't work for my purposes.
I need to share and update the metadata / keywords when I go from one program into another. Can't retrieve metadata I set up in Bridge into Lightroom. Same happens with Photoshop, where I can't retrieve keywords I add in Lightroom. It's tedious to write up the keywords again.
Thanks for your efforts!

How do I access my CC files using Lightroom 5 so that I can edit photos from desktop or laptop

Very frustrated. I am not sure if this is a question about 'syncing' (since it's apparently not available to everyone - though this wasn't mentioned when they sold me on their subscription), about 'work flow' (what ever that means), 'catalogs', 'libraries', 'collections', 'folders", 'importing' or 'exporting'.
All I want to do it to be able to move from my desktop in one room to my laptop in another (or on the road) and be able to open up and edit the same group of photos that I managed earlier to upload into files on the <files> section of the CC panel. I watched a vdeo about 'syncing' using CC for Photoshop but I think this is for presets. Which begs the question, can you do the same for lightroom 5 presets?
In looking at my screen with the CC panel on it and clicking on <Files> so that I am sure I am typing about the correct features, I now see that the 3 file folders of photos I dragged and dropped into it earlier today is now missing my files and is displaying a message that says "Coming Soon: Creative Cloud will sync files between the cloud and your desktop". Where did my files go?
Now I am even more frustrated.
My questions are now:
1) How do I access the cloud, where my files should be, when using only Lightroom?
2) Do I have to import photos into Lightroom on one of my 2 computers first, then transfer them to the cloud, before I can also access them on the other machine?
I am not sure if this information matters, but I switch between a desktop and a laptop throughout the week. Both are Windows. I also use an external harddrive to store my photos on. It would be nice if I didn't have to unplug the damn thing and carry it with me from location to location.
Thanks in advance.

So, in short, is there a simple way , without opening iphoto, to do a logical path such as HD, pictures, iphoto, iphoto library and then BAM! just see all my files?
In short - no.
If you are using iPhoto to manage your photos for you, use iPhoto to retrieve them.
There are many user-friendy ways to access photos in iPhoto, but if you simply want a set of nested folders with photos, don't import your photos to iPhoto.
See Terence Devlin's User Tip on how to access photos in iPhoto and get the most out of iPhoto:
