Advanced Sort, Filter (color, image size), DUPLICATES, face recognition, GUI customizeability

Hi,
here are some of my Lightroom Feature Requests (maybe later more):
- Filter based on image size. Example: show me all photos with a resolution of 1600x1200 or less.
- More complex filtering. Example: show me all photos from the Collection A that are tagged with keyword 'k1' and 'k2' but not with keyword 'k3' and that are in the date range d1-d2 and were made with camera model X.
- Automatic portrait/human face recognition
- Sort and filter by color! Example: show me all photos that are mostly green (blue, yellow, red, ...)
- Intelligent recognition and optional deletion of duplicates. Calculate some kind of fingerprint for each photo (file size won't do I guess) so that it will be possible to recognize duplicates EVEN if they are of different image resolution or orientation (landscape, portrait), i.e. really based on CONTENT of the image!
- Make the components in the side panels movable so that the user can arrange his/her own panel with the components he uses most and on that side of the screen where he wants it.
Besides that: I LOVE Lightroom. A GREAT product!! Use it A LOT!
Nice greetings from Germany,
Stefan.

I second that.
"More complex filtering. Example: show me all photos from the Collection A that are tagged with keyword 'k1' and 'k2' but not with keyword 'k3' and that are in the date range d1-d2 and were made with camera model X."
This should be relatively easy to do. Most other DAMs in the market, e.g. ACDSee, do have this feature. It doesn't really becomes a real database until you have this feature.
"Intelligent recognition and optional deletion of duplicates."
Another great feature in ACDSee. Somehow it finds duplicates, even if filenames and dates are different, shows the different photos and gives you an option on what to do.

  • Lightroom - FIlter by image size (cropped or dimension)?

    Is there no way in Lightroom to filter a catalogue by the image size?
    The new filter system in V2 appears compact and tidy, but I can't believe there is not a method to filter by all information contained in the Metadata list? Any help gratefully appreciated. Thanks

    As I stated you can use the Bridge Search (Find) function.

  • Duplicate Face recognition Boxes Possible Bug????

    I am having a heck of a time with face recognition and assigning a name to a face and then putting another box around the same face, telling me its unnamed. The boxes vary the slightest bit in size, I cant "x" out of the unnamed box, so I have to close the named box, then use the present unnamed box and re-type the name of the person into it. This is extremely time consuming and if the name is already present, I am not sure why Aperture is putting another unnamed box around the same face which is some cases is exactly the same size and others is differs my .5mm. Is there a way to turn this 2nd unnamed box off or to ideally remove the unnamed boxes from all the photos that have multiple naming boxes? Thanks in advance!

    Maybe try rebuilding the database by holding down option-command when starting Aperture. I had some issues with duplicates in Faces and rebuilding the library worked wonders.

  • Face recognition

    Hi,
    Is it possible to sort or select which of images of a person who will be the main image displayed in face recognition in Lightroom 6?
    In Aperture and iPhoto you can choose which photo should be key photo.

    Hello @ram3,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand that you are looking to see if your notebook computer has face recognition software, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    According to the available drivers and software for your computer, there is no face recognition software supported for your system.
    If you would like to learn more about face recognition software, I recommend taking a look at this resource: HP Face Recognition Software: Your Face is Your Password; as well as the commercial forums below, as this is a technology used in commercial products:

  • Limit, filter, or sort images in the Faces pool?

    Hi.  How can I limit, filter, or sort the images Aperture presents when "Confirm Faces" is clicked in Faces view of a named Face?
    I would like to either:
    . Limit the universe of presented images with unnamed faces to those from specific Projects; or
    . Filter the images presented (by, for example, year, or Project Path, or anything else helpful); or
    . Sort the images by some other criteria than Aperture's (presumably) "most alike" measurement.
    Thanks!

  • Access image size and color profile

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to access image size and color profile ? If not, will it be possible in CS6 ?
    Thanks.

    Load the external XMP library and get it from that?

  • Sorting photos by dimensions or image size?

    Has anyone heard of or found a way to do this? I have upward of 10000 images and I need to sort out the ones that meet a certain minimum pixel dimension. A smart folder would be sweet.
    Any help is appreciated.

    I created some custom Keywords in Preferences>Keywords for specific image sizes, then went through my library and assigned the Keywords to the corresponding images using Photos>Get Info (or Cmd-I). It's time consuming, but you can select multiple images and assign a Keyword to all of them at the same time to speed things up. Once you're done you can create Smart Albums and use the Keywords as criteria. Hope that helps!

  • Photoshop CC not displaying correct image sizes, among other issues.

    Hey, so I'd like a bit of help here!
    I got my new laptop from the school a couple of weeks ago and photoshop’s been funky ever since I got it. It’s a brand new Macbook, and it's running Photoshop CC.
    First things first, it won’t recognize some of the brushstrokes I make. It will show that I've made them, but they won’t show up in the history panel. I'll have to make another stroke for it to register both of them. (Making undoing things a real pain.) Also, some of the keyboard shortcuts I use won't work in a really similar way. If I go to switch to my brush by pressing b, it occasionally won't register it unless I make an additional brush stroke. This works with all of the other shortcuts I use.
    In addition, file sizes are all kinds of messed up. Here’s the most recent example. The image dimensions are 500px x 135px, 300DPI, 8bit, RGB color. This is at 100% zoom. Those are the settings I normally use, but for some reason it’s showing the file as about half of the size it should be. (Tumblr post for comparison—they are 500px wide.)
    Here’s another example. This one is 1254 x 1201, 300DPI, 8bit, RGB, shown at 100% zoom. The image size is 4.31M. If I go to double the size and change nothing else, the image size jumps up to a whopping 17.2M. I don’t feel like that’s right? I don't remember any other versions of Photoshop having images be that large.
    Maybe it’s my computer settings? Right now I have the resolution set on "best for display," but even if i use the "scaled" option and change sizes, the images are still too small.
    I don't know if I would be able to uninstall and then re-install Photoshop because the school has control over those sorts of things and there are certain programs that you cannot remove. I've tried restarting the program as well as the laptop, but neither of those helped.
    if anyone can help me, I’d really appreciate it! Thank you!

    For generic performance and trouble-shooting advice I’d like to recommend reading these:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-performance-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html
    http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-mos t-issues.html
    As for the specifics:
    The image size is 4.31M. If I go to double the size and change nothing else, the image size jumps up to a whopping 17.2M.
    If you double the dimensions of an image the area is increased fourfold – so what is the problem there?
    The image dimensions are 500px x 135px, 300DPI, 8bit, RGB color. This is at 100% zoom. Those are the settings I normally use, but for some reason it’s showing the file as about half of the size it should be. (Tumblr post for comparison—they are 500px wide.)
    The introduction or Retina (and other high resolution) displays and browsers actually up-scaling images to accommodate those screen resolutions seems to have confused some users about the concept of pixels.
    Could you please post a full size screenshot on this Forum of the image at View > 100% in Photoshop and on tumblr?

  • Bridge displays color images as b&w

    I assume this has something to do with settings in Bridge CS4, my platform is MacBook Pro OS 6.8.10.
    This question might confuse some people. To beging with, I do shoot my images in RAW files, I even have Bridge convert them to DNG files.
    Upon download the images are displayed in color as they should be for RAW files. After editing images in Camera RAW,  I convert most all images to sRGB. When some of those edited images come back to Bridge, they might be presented in B&W, though no color is lost to the file upon displaying in Photoshop, and I did not edit the file to be a B&W image. I have DNG, Canon RAW, Tif and Jpeg files, and most of these are displayed in color, but some are not, and I have not figured out the missing link just yet. So to be clear, I have Jpeg color images, displaying as b&w images, but they are color images. Only b&w images should be displayed as b&w.
    This problems started once I learned I could edit one image in photoshop out of a series of images, then after editing, i could bring the single photo file back to bridge, and then copy/paste image settings onto a groups of images in Bridge, and all those images would then have the same adjustments made to them as a batch edit adjustment.
    But now sometimes I get a B&W display on some images even when I do not apply a Bridge settings edits, and when I never edited the image for a B&W display.  I has to a setting somewhere in Bridge, and I just have not figured it out yet.
    Thanks in advance for all suggestions:

    Yammer asked a pertinent question that remains unanswered—is that “settings” badge (small lines-triangles-in-a-circle) shown on the B/W image thumbnails (at least).  If you’re not sure, then include a screenshot of a few Bridge thumbnails where some are color and some are B/W, using the little camera icon on the web version of the forum messages.
    And the answer is NO!. I only have those showing up associated with the .DNG files (Camera RAW)
    Another similar question would be if you see a B/W thumbnail in Bridge, try doing a right-click (or whatever the Mac equivalent is) and choose Open in Camera Raw.  Is the image in B/W or color in Camera Raw.
    A <Control Click> (on MAC), opens the .jpeg file in b&w, as shown in the thumbnail.
    Can you upload three versions of one of the images that display as B/W:  the original PSD/raw/TIF file, a normal Save As JPG that is in color, and a Save For Web JPG that is B/W?  Use something like http://www.dropbox.com/ and post a public download link to the images, here.
    NO, I thought I explained that real well. Only the .jpeg file that was saved through the "Save for Web" processing ( that is, the a jpeg the goes through greater compression to reduce image file size for web display), is the image file process that produces the b&w thumbnail in Bridge ONLY. All opened images, of various file formats (ie: DNG, Psd, Tif, Jpeg, & Jpeg for Web), all present Color presentations (for editing in Photoshop, and or in display browsers). It is only the thumbnail of that particular jpeg formatting processing for Web Images that produces the b&w image "THUMBNAIL" in Bridge.
    When you Save As JPG or For Web, are you ever overwriting the original image with a new one or do you always save the PS-edited image with a new name?
    No, never. I leave my RAW files, as RAW originals, and work on newly names images files.
    A theory about what is happening is that Bridge uses Camera Raw to generate its thumbnails, and the images that are B/W have some embedded Camera Raw setting, perhaps pasted from a different filetype, that makes CR think the image should be rendered as B/W, but when you open the images on Photoshop, you are opening them directly, without using the Camera Raw plug-in, so any embedded settings are ignored, and the image displays in its original state without the settings having been applied.
    It makes since, (what you are saying), and it certainly does respond in that fashion. Your suggestion to open Ctrl Click, or Right Click to open the thumbnail in Camera RAW, was an interesting test, and the response was to open the previously save color image with a b&w thumbnail, into Camera RAW as a b&w image. So Camera RAW is responding to what is in the xmp settings that describes this images thumbnail to be displayed b&w. It is weird that a browser does not.
    As to what is in the window selections for the "Save for Web" editing windows, Presets for jpeg are :
    Progressive
    Optimize
    Embed Color Profile
    And I use Embed Color Profile.
    Even the Preview button at the bottom of the window, shows the color image as displaying color.
    I vaguely remember about a year ago doing some CS 4 Photoshop and Bridge web tutorials from an unnamed tutoring website and guy named D_k_ . It is his fault. Just kidding, I actually enjoy those tutorial.
    **** Okay, this is perhaps originating from Camera RAW presets, where you can apply previously made settings to other images and then saved them as Presets. Though I don't have this checked in Camera RAW ( still something goofy is going on there), I did find that in Bridge I can reset the individual "saved for Web" image thumbnail back to the the color image by :
    Right Click  (Ctrl Click, MAC) on the thumbnail
    menu down to the "Development Settings" and select :
    "Previous Conversion", and this presents the color thumbnail.
    I have now tested all the Camera RAW settings in Camera RAW, by opening an image in each one of these :
    Image Settings
    Camera RAW Defaults
    Previous Conversion
    Custom Settings
    and then reducing image file size, and saving for the web, while changing file name, and each and every one of these Settings produces a Sepia Toned thumbnail. I found out the images were a subtle Sepia Toned image by enlarging the Bridge Thumbnails bigger for a better view. So I can correct the thumbnail after it has been created, but so far, I can't get the thumbnail to be correct on first creation of the web saved jpeg image file. Regular jpeg image file thumbnails save correctly.

  • Convert color images to black&white bitmaps

    Hi,
    I have black&white scans of public domain books (image format). I use an OCR software to convert them to indexable PDFs (image+text format). However, the OCRed PDFs are insanely big: a 27 MB scanned PDF leads to an indexable PDF of 728 MB! And unfortunately, my OCR software doesn't have output settings, so I have to find a way to compress the files using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
    Using Advanced Options > Optimization does reduce the file size, but not significantly. The problem seems to be that my OCR software converts the black&white scans to color images, and encodes them as such inside the PDF. So I need a way to set the image modes back to black&white. I tried using the Advanced Options > Preflight dialog, and selecting "Convert to black&white". However, the resulting PDFs stay about the same size! It seems that "Convert to black&white" converts the images to grayscale, instead of to bitmap.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    I mentioned "bitmaps", because when I open the original PDF and right-click a random page and select "Modify image..." and open the image in Photoshop, the mode is set to "Bitmap mode": meaning 1-bit mode, containing either black or white pixels. However, when I do "Modify image..." for the OCRed PDF, the mode is set to "RGB Color Mode". I think this explains, in part, the huge size of the OCRed PDF.
    Maybe this table will make it more clear:
    Original PDF (Bitmap Mode, 132 dpi)
    Size: 27 MB
    OCRed PDF (RGB Color Mode, 300 dpi)
    Size: 728 MB
    Now, from the table above, it's clear that I have to reduce the image resolution. So, using the Acrobat's PDF optimizer, I tried the following settings:
    Optimized OCRed PDF: Try 1 (Downsample to 132 dpi, JPEG compression)
    Size: 733 MB
    Optimized OCRed PDF: Try 2 (Downsample to 132 dpi, ZIP compression)
    Size: 449 MB
    But 449 MB is still huge for a single book. And I don't want to reduce the resolution under 132 dpi, because I will loose quality. Clearly, if the original document is just 27 MB, I should be able to squeeze the OCRed document too. But I don't know how.

  • Opening jpgs as raw... image size

    My office color corrects thousands of images per day for newsprint. These come in mostly as jpgs and some tifs and eps files. Most of these need a lot of color correction work, and I've found that opening jpgs with the RAW dialogue box and tweaking them there can be a huge time-saver (one menu with a bunch of sliders, versus opening curves, shadow highlight, hue/sat, color balance, etc.)
    However! There are two things preventing us from utilizing the ability to open jpgs and using the raw dialogue box:
    1. Image size. We are dealing with images from several customers who need us to maintain their original image size and dpi, whatever that may be. Other customers want us to maintain the width/height and rasample the image down to 200dpi. (example: take this 3x5" @ 956dpi and make it 3x5" @ 200dpi) If I open one of their images in raw, I don't know what the original width/height were because the file has been resized to whatever I used on the last image. I've noticed it defaults to 240. The original jpg dpi changes with each image we get. Is there any way to make the raw dialogue box not change the image size? Which leads me to...
    2. Once I've opened a jpg using the raw dialogue box it will always open up again in raw (always changing the image size.) If I want to just open my jpg as a regular image in photoshop, I have to go to camera raw preferences and disable the ability to use raw on jpgs. Is there a faster way to ignore the raw settings on a jpg once it has been altered as raw?
    So this is why we don't use raw, even though it'd be a huge advantage for us to be able to make these color corrections. If anyone has any ideas how to get around these, or even an easier workflow, I'd appreciate it!

    For #1, if you look at the image in Bridge you can note the dimensions and resolution...you would then need to put that same resolution in the ACR resolution field.
    For #2, no...as you note the ACR Preference controls whether or not Camera Raw will be used to open the image. You can use the Shift key when double clicking in Bridge to open the image directly into Photoshop and bypass the ACR dlog, but Camera Raw will still be used if it's set to be used in the Preferences...
    You'll need to keep your image resizing just in Photoshop because Camera Raw is not designed to do that sort of resize/resampling...it's designed first and foremost as a raw processor and later added the ability to open and process camera JPEGs and TIFFs. Putting those kind of controls into Camera Raw wouldn't make sense since the end result of an image opened into Camera Raw is supposed to be an image processed and opened into Photoshop. So, what you are wishing for is really outside of the scope of the development design...sorry.

  • How to overlay color image over a grayscale image without IMAQ?

    I would like to display a color image over a grayscale image; I would like the color image look translucent. How would I do this without using IMAQ functions? I am currently displaying my grayscale image using Intensity Graph.

    > I would like to display a color image over a grayscale image; I would
    > like the color image look translucent. How would I do this without

    > using Intensity Graph.
    Transparency and overlays are really just arithmetic on the images. It
    is either done by the windowing system or by you. At the moment you
    can't set transparency on LV controls. You can set it on LV floating
    windows on some OSes, but then you will need to have the windows lined up.
    A more direct approach is to lighten or darken the color image elements
    based upon whether they will display over white, black, or a shade of
    gray. If the images don't have the same size pixels, this will have a
    first step of resampling th
    e images so they do. Then combine the pixels
    using the transparency you were going to apply to the color and the
    shade of gray beneath it. I'm being vague here because there are lots
    of physical models for combining colors.
    If I look in my paint program I see about fifteen, so this is where you
    get to make a choice and decide if black behind a red pixel is black, or
    dark red. It all depends on whether these are two transparent
    images(acetate sheets) backlit, or is it a transparency over a
    nontransmitting media like paper. Anyway, if you can be more specific
    about what you want, none of this is hard, typically just scaling the
    int32s, adding, and some sort of normalization.

  • Cannot color image after applying "Graphic Pen" effect.

    I open a .dng file which was in greyscale. Then converted it to RGB. Applied the effect Graphic Pen. Added a new layer, fill it with red, changed mode to Overylay, and when I tried merging down, or saving as a jpeg, it converts the image right back to B&W. I even tried changing my brush to red and Overlay mode, it just won't let me color the image at all. I've tried hue/saturation, and when I try to save the adjustment, it converts right back to B&W. Any help? Here are some screen shots.
    This is after merging down.

    Hue/saturation has the same problem as overlay, but you can colorize the image checking colorize and by moving the saturation and lightness sliders to the right.
    Did you try the different blending modes with a color fill layer?
    It really depends on the effect you want.
    For example you could set the foreground color in the toolbox to Red and the background color to White.
    Then when you use the graphic pen filter the black pixels will be red and the white pixels white.
    The colors for the sketch filters in the filter gallery are dependent on the colors you have set in the toolbox.
    If you planning on using the image for the web, you could reduce the pixel dimensions of the image (Image>Image Size)
    and then the overlay mode would work for colorizing the image if that's the effect you like.
    The reason that works is that resizing introduces a little bit of blurring (for lack of a better word) around the edges.

  • Image size / flash bug ?

    Hi there,
    I did a website for a photographer: very simple, three themes
    (music, portrait, nude) every theme with one large image that you
    can scroll through.
    One of the images is nearly 10.000px width. This was no
    problem, a few month ago when I created the movie first (in
    FlashMX). Now it suddenly is. The movie already works fine in some
    browsers/computers, but in some browsers it doesn’t ... (It
    seems not to be a browser or Mac/PC-problem, because I’ve
    seen both: Macs it works on, PCs it works on, Macs it
    doesn’t, etc ..) When I now create a movie with CS3 (same
    fla-file) all I see is a red face. I figured out that when
    I’m scaling down the image size (to 7.500px width), it works,
    then I can create a movie in CS3 that works.
    Does anyone hear of that problem. Is it a FlashCS3 bug?
    You can see the website here (if you’re lucky you can
    see the naked girls!):

    hi Victor, I was able to view your images in an older version
    of flash player (9,0,47) Your flash player is most likely the
    latest one (9,0,115). The latest flash player version has a problem
    displaying images that have been saved in cmyk colors. Try to
    reexport the image in RGB and then re-insert it in Flash.
