All encompassing image library?

hey all,
let me begin by saying this - I've never done much with actual graphical programming, and I'm feeling inspired and am going to mess with some of this stuff on my own (SDL and it's ilk).
I am curious about image support - currently there are like a million libraries - libtiff, libpng, libjpeg, etc etc... each with it's own interface and coding style. Is there anyway to simplify this at all? I've come across DevIL but it uses compile time dependancies and things that I'm none too happy with.... I'm looking for any and all input on the subject.... maybe I'll look into what the GiMP does...

well, i've come across two promissing ones:
the imagemagic libraries and SDL_image
seeling as I'm going to be messing with SDL/OpenGL (for fun and profit!) maybe I should use SDL_image.
BTW, I like the way SDL is done... I'll have to look into things like SDL_net and SDL_image a bit more... but I think they'd be really useful.
Has anyone messed with SDL before? I'm slightly confused on one thing - does SDL provide OpenGL wrapper functionality, or is the OpenGL code portion the same... i.e. SDL provides the portability, and OpenGL provides all the nice rendering functions, or does SDL have it's own rendering functionality?

I use an external hard drive for my Lightroom library and I notice that all the images shown on there are DNG. On my MAC hard drive I have images shown as NEF. I desperately need to free up space on my hard drive, can I safely delete these NEFs?

heidie22, dj_paige has a very good point there. I would not through away the NEF files; I would archive them to a external drive.
By the way, I am assuming that converting RAW files to DNG is a decision you have made and not an accident.

How do I condense my itunes files? As each new OS came out, I put it on a new drive...now I have 4 SSD drives, with 2 copies of iTunes..how do I condense them all down to one all-encompassing library?

Not sure exactly how you moved your library but this link may help

I Just converted my iPhoto library to Photos. Now I can't find my RAW files. I need to have all the images in my old library show up in their RAW format.

I Just converted my iPhoto library to Photos. Now I can't find my RAW files. I need to have all the images in my old library show up in their RAW format.

Unfortunately no - Photos use extensions and the vendor (adobe) will have to implement the extension to allow external edits in PS or PSE
For now you must export the photo, edit and then import - not great but a work arond
And you can continue to use iPhoto until Photos meets your needs - launch it in your applications folder - if you need assistance on this see Why won't my iPhotos open?

How can I possible lose my entire photo library/ referenced master image file if I have downloaded all my images directly onto Aperture?

How can I possible lose my entire photo library/ referenced master image file if I have downloaded all my images directly onto Aperture?

CeliaJane, you need to distinguish between the Aperture Library and the Aperture Application.
Aperture stores your images in a database, and it is this database that we have to find and probably to repair, not the application (hopefully). And since you do not see any images, I suspect that Aperture created a new, empty Aperture Library,and you are now viewing this empty library. Usully the library sits in your Pictures fiolder.
Look into your Pictures folder, if you see a file with a colorful icon with three pictures, called something.aplibrary, as shown above. And also enter ".applibrary" into the "Spotlight" searchfield in the upper right corner of your screen. If you have more than one Library, you should be able to find them this way.
The largest file you find will probably be the correct library.
When you have found the correct file called aperturexxxx.aplibrary, try to open it in "First Aid" mode.
Select the Library and press down "command" and "option" key at the same time, while you double click the library.
Now the First Aid dialogue should appear:
Select: Repair Permissions" and see if you can open the Library again. If it did not help, try the other two options in turn.

The library module in 4.3 version does not show all the images

The library module in the version 4.3 of Lightroom does not show all the images. They are marked with gray boxes instead of images. This is especially true of the images which I tried to import to Lightroom since I downloaded 4.3 a few weeks ago. If I want to seen an image, I have to go to the develop module to see it. What should I do? Get this fixed now!!!!!!!!

My bet would be on a corrupt preview folder.
Your preview folder is located in the same folder as your catalog. It has the same name as your catalog with the word Previews.LRDATA at the end of the name. Rename this folder and let Lightroom rebuild the previews. Go to Library>Previews>Render Standard-sized Previews. See if that fixes it.
If it doesn't, you may want to have a look here: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/photos-appear-black-gray-rectangles.html

How to automatically remove the wiki page's images from the Images library , when a wiki page is deleted

I have noted the following strange behavior inside my Publishing enterprise wiki site collection. Now by default when I create a new wiki page and I add Pictures to it, the pictures will be saved under the “Images” library and will be inside a unique folder
that have its name similar to the page name.
But when users delete the picture from the wiki page or they delete the whole wiki page, then the related folder inside the “Images” library will not be removed. So can anyone advice if there is a way to automatically remove the page’s pictures
folder from the Images library when the page is deleted? as currently i might end up having many pictures inside the Images library which are not linked to a wiki page, and they will waste my server desk space...

I think, not sure, there's no out-of-the-box solution in SharePoint for this problem. So I can only think of custom solution:
In event Receiver, ItemDeleting, you can delete images. The only downside is if some other pages are referring the images..... you need to check somehow which is quite time-consuming operations if you have thousand of pages in wiki library
A timer job, that will run periodically, every day or week, and clean all unused images.
Hide the default delete button and add your own. And then using your own custom layout page, show a 'configuration dialog' to user if they want to delete both page and images.
Thanks,

Please do not tell me this is not supported out of the ox ,,,,, i that i should handle this process by myself !!! and SharePoint does not support this feature .... this is another problem i should include in my list .....

All my images in finder

I have a MacBook from 2008. I originally had snow leopard and updated to mavericks. In snow leopard when I wanted to save my pictures to an external hard drive I would go to all images on the side bar and could easily transfer the pictures. Now that I have updated to Mavericks I can't find this option. I tried to make a smart folder but when I search for images I know it did not show all the images that are in iPhoto library. Does anybody know how to solve this

hi tim1427,
Im not quite sure what you want to do. Move Photos you have in your iPhoto library on an external hard drive?
Anyway the following points may help your understanding:
In your home folder->pictures is a file that is called iPhoto Library. All Photos you import in iPhoto are stored in there. The only proper way to acces these pictures and move them to an external hard drive or the finder is by exporting them directly from within iPhoto. (Drag and Drop from the iPhoto to a Finder Window would also work)
Any other photos you can access in the Finder as .jpg or any other format are not in iPhoto. If you see them also in iPhoto you have them double. (once in the file iPhoto Library and once in the Finder.) You may want to delete the ones in the finder then.
I hope based on this you can formulate your question new or describe what workflow you have in mind.
Just in case you are doing this for backup reasons, you could also just import all photos to iPhoto and just copy the iPhoto Library to your external hard drive. BUT, and this is important, as soon as iPhoto is not anymore on your Mac accessing these photos gets unpleasant. Therefore i would go for the export version. Then you can share and import your photos into other applications with ease. All from your backup drive.

Iphoto deleted all my images, im running on 9.5.1

iphoto deleted all my images, im running on 9.5.1. its been having issues recently but this time my laptops battery died in the middle of iphotos fixing itself and when my computer restarted everything is gone. Please help?

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Upgrade to 2013 leaves "Images" library without Thumbnail Preview working

The issue I am seeing is occurring after an update from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013. The library is a publishing library created in 2010. These features are enabled in 2013. Looking at the "Thumbnail Preview" column in any view shows the
generic sheet of paper icon. Viewing the images in the "Thumbnail" view shows the thumbnails correctly. The images for the list in question are all .gif. As far as I know those are the only ones failing, but we could have missed some other filetypes.
I've tried moving a document to a newly created Images library and the preview shows as expected. So I believe I've pretty easily demonstrated that the actual image is not a problem and that SharePoint 2013 can render it. However, it's not a workable solution
to move these files.
If I open the library with Fiddler, I get a 404 error for 256_icgif.gif. From there it's been sort of a dead end as I wouldn't know where to test and see if that's part of the issue.
This is our dev environment before upgrading to 2013 so we're looking for a fix we can perform during or before the upgrade.
Thanks!

Hi Christopher,
Casting my mind back to the Beta, I hit something similar during a test upgrade and if I remember rightly it was to do with the content type mappings that came across. There are two content types Picture and Image which behave differently, so try swapping
the available content types in the library and changing that.

The best way to migrate image library and Lightroom settings form PC to Mac?

I want to migrate my image library and Lightroom Catalogs and settings over to my new Mac Pro. My images are currently on a separate external drive, whilst my Lightroom Catalogs and settings are on my old PC.
My intention is to situate my entire image library on it's own dedicated drive, which is one of the four separate drives on the Mac (in this instance, drive 4). I have also installed Lightroom 3 onto drive 1 (the same drive as the OS and all other applications, including CS5). I bought this as an upgrade to LR2, which is on my PC.
My questions are:
(a) How do I transfer my LR2 Catalogs and settings housed on my PC, over to LR3 on the Mac?
(b) Once the library has been moved, what do I need to do to get Lightroom to find them?

(a) How do I transfer my LR2 Catalogs and settings housed on my PC, over to LR3 on the Mac?
Simply copy them. When you launch the LR2 catalog in LR3 you will be prompted to convert it to a version 3 catalog. This will create a duplicate. Once you are satisfied all is well you can delete the version 2 catalog.
(b) Once the library has been moved, what do I need to do to get Lightroom to find them?
Control click on the topmost folder and direct lightroom to the current location of the folder on the external drive. All images in subfolders should sync nicely.

Need several forms to show the same image from an image library

Hi
I have several InfoPath forms with a logo at the top of the form. I would like to have the logo linked to an image file so if I have to change the logo, I can just overwrite the file that's sitting in a SharePoint image library without having to edit and
re-publish 30 forms.
I can get the file placed in the InfoPath form, but when I publish the form, the image looks correct but the publish process embeds the image. If I view the properties of the image on the form in SharePoint, the URL isn't the URL to the image in the image
library. It's a long URL that looks hashed.
So I went back to InfoPath and tried Insert > Picture > pasted the URL to the image in the image library > then clicked the down-arrow on the Insert button and chose Link to File. Now when I publish it, I get an error that says:
Linked images are not supported by InfoPath Forms Services. To fix this problem, make the image a part of the form template. (Then it has a link to the image from the image library.)
Is it possible to link to an image file so if the image file is updated the forms will see the new image?
Thanks in advance,
Sonya

Thanks for the reply. So if I understand the info on the links above, to simply display an image that's not embedded in my InfoPath form, I have to create a Rich Text Box in the form, add a Receive data connection to a Picture Library on SharePoint, add
a Loading Event to the InfoPath form template and edit/paste C# code (because I only want to display one image from the image library and not a repeating table like the example in the article above), then edit and add more blocks of C# code to an "addImageToTable"
function, save/build/publish the form, then perform an "administrator-approved form template deployment" on the server? lol, all of that seems excessive just to display a non-embedded image. I'll need to decide if I want to fool with that since the logos don't
change very often.

Access all my images on iphone

How can I access all my images in my iPhone? For reasons beyond explaining I don't have all the images on my desktop and Aperture only let's me import the last 29 images, but I need to access all 400+.
Little help?

You cannot access the photo library, just like you can't access the music library.
Don't know why, that just is.
You could use a transfer app to pull the photos out of the albums into the app and remove them through the app.
Or you could get an app like "wifi photo transfer"
which lets you download images at full res', and can also zip them.
There are other ways that Google can help with, but we can't.
Against TOS to tell you how to access them direct.

Metadata changes not applied to all selected images

I am having 2 problems.
When I am in lightroom's library (3.5), I would like to change the time of capture for multiple photos, and apply keywords.
However, when I perform either of those actions, the changes are only applied to the image shown in the "more brightly highlighted" image, not all that are selected.
Is there a setting I am missing? I just cannot seem to figure out why this is not working.
Also, I aplogize if my searching skills are weak and this has been covered already. I did attempt to see if this question has been answered before posting.
Thanks.

You need to be in Grid view to apply metadata to all selected images, otherwise LR will only apply it to the image shown in the main area. Alternatively, you can swith on AutoSync in Library.

No Image Library, Samples Keynote 1.1.1

I bought an iMac G4/800 running Tiger with Keynote 1.1.1 in the Apps folder. When I open the program, click on "File", both the Image Library + Samples selections are greyed out. I cannot seem to locate either of these folders on my computer. How can I get both the Image Library + Samples then install them into Keynote? Thanks, Ken.

I have uninstalled Keynote 1.1.1 I suspect my install was never complete, somehow corrupt + I am using NeoOffice 3.1.2 which has excellent Power Point like software in it. Thanks to all for reading my question. Ken.
