Any Suggestions on Best Method To Export/ Convert .aco Files?

Bill Hunt suggested this question that originally was posted under general discussion be reposted here. - Thanks Bill.
I'm building palette's for another application that is not presently capable of reading the Adobe Color Swatch file .aco and would like to initially develop the palette in CS6 Photoshop, save the swatch file and then produce a file in similar fashion as is already used in Flash; namely the .clr file; e.g. the sample below where the last values given on each line are in RGB.
Does anybody have any suggestions to wrangle the .aco into an RGB ASCII, either from within PS or from some other application ?
Thank you for any reply,
Kelly

I would post to the Photoshop SDK Forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop/photoshop_sdk
You will likely get more help there.
Good luck,

    What is the best software/plugin for converting Quark files to Indesign?
    I don't want to upgrade to the latest Quark now i've got CC so going to make the leap to indesign only. Does Indesign auto convert or do I need anything else?

    ID does not load QXD files. There is a respective commercial third-party plug-in to that effect, but it's rather pricey and I'm not up to speed which versions of Quark and ID it supports and which features come over. Inquire in the ID forum.

  • Any suggestions for best practice when creating assets for tablets?

    General community question,
    I'm about to start creating a tablet demo of a few assets that have already been created for web that need adapting for tablet (namely iOS on iPad). I was wondering if anyone could share some pointers about what to avoid doing or some top tips to ensure that they can be converted as quickly and easily as possible, particularly given the state of the current version of EA.
    Any suggestions or links to relevant websites would be welcome!

  • Suggest the best method to find the duplicate values entry in the form

    Hi,
    Can u plz suggest a best logic for duplicate checking in forms while entering the data.
    for e.g when we enter empno,empname,sal etc.. details in a base table block,
    empname should not be duplicate. For this purpose for each entry of empname, I am using the logic in such a way that
    it will check from first record to last record in the loop. If entered empname already exists in the block it shows the error message.
    for this purpose I use the system variable system.cursor_record, Name_in function etc..
    But in the case of thousands or lacks of record in the form, Is this logic useful?? Plz suggest a best logic if you have?
    with thanks

  • Best method for exporting from iMovie?

    I have been having a lot problems with exporting from iMovie. I have a 30 minute movie that I want to compress to a file around 400~500mbs. I found the best results with Divx and .Avi files. Unfortunately, after I installed Tiger, I noticed that the audio was faster than the video, like " old kung-fu movies ".
    I read in other forums that there are many problems with Divx compatibilty with Tiger. Whie waiting for a new version of Divx, can anyone give me some advice on the best way to export a movie from iMovie( good audio and video quality) thanks in advance!!

  • What is the best seeting to export as smaller file size AVI from FCP?

    Hi, I know the topic sounds very similar to many of AVI post it had been up, however, somehow, I do not find the right answer that I'm looking for.
    I have a couple animation created from QT as "image sequence".
    I simply want to export as avi file.
    Here is the question I have.
    1. If I choose DV/DVCPRO-NTSC, and choose scan mode as Progressive, I get interlacing looking quality video.
    2. If I choose compressor type as "NONE" then even I set as "least" quality, the file size will be over 1G..although, that's the quality I'm trying to archive.
    Is there any other setting I can choose to get good quality with lower file size avi? I have seen or download avi file on the net with very good quality and still download-able file size...

    What is the QT method? (Export from QT Player?)
    Yes, 10 hour plus is ridiculous. I'm guessing that there was either something wrong with your Internet connection and/or at the You Tube end of the uploasd/compression process.
    Innocentius and Hugh are right; using Compressor (or MPEG Streamclip) and using YT's  uploader is the most reliable workflow.(Since Google changed the account verification process, there have been reports of upload problems using Share>You Tube.)  In addition, you have more control over the quality of your movie. You can create multiple custom settings in Compressor and then Share > Compressor custom settings. It will go faster if you export out of FCP as a Pro Res 422 file; should take 3-4 minutes top. The Web encode for a 3 minute video in Compressor might take 15 minutes, depending on your system. MPEG Streamclip is probably a little faster.

  • Best practice for exporting a .mov file for YouTube

    I am using FCPX 10.0.9 with a MacBook Pro. We are needing to upload relatively small-size high school football videos as .mov files to YouTube for my newspaper. I have been choosing the Export File option with the setting set to h.264, exporting the file to the desktop and then uploading that .mov file to YouTube. (I do not have Compressor installed on this Mac.) The other night the first of three files done like this uploaded fine, but the next two just kept processing and processing at YouTube and never finished. The following morning the files processed fine. Any thoughts about why ths might be happening?
    And would it be better to export in another file format --.mp4 files -- instead that might cause less of a problem and which of the export options would be best?
    Thanks,
    Douglas

    Am I correctly uploading a .mov file to YouTube by using the Export File command with the export setting set to .h264 then if I wish a reasonable size file for upload?
    Sure. There are many ways to get videos to YT and yours is a reasonable approach.
    "Reasonable size" should be thought of in terms of upload time. Again, YT will re-compress whatever you give it. So depending on how quickly you need to get it up on the Web, it's better to upload files that have more information than less information. (To that end, some folks upload very large Pro Res files; they also have a lot of patience.) 
    Just to let you know, the majority of FCPX users follow one of two workflows:
    1) Share>You Tube option and have FCP handle the uploading;
    2) Export as a Pro Res Master File; bring the master file into Compressor and apply the user's custom settings; upload using YT's uploader.
    FWIW, I prefer the second workflow.

  • Best Way to Export After Effects File and Save Transparency

    Hi all-
    A pretty simple question. I need to export a file from After Effects and keep the alpha channel so I can superimpose it on some video in FCE. What is the best way to export it?
    I recall hearing people mention that the Animation Codec with "Millions of Colors+" is the best way to go about doing it, in which case I'd just have to render it within FCE. Is that correct? If so, are there any other settings I should tweak to get a high quality file that will work with FCE?
    Thanks.

    Hi -
    Animation Millions+ will deliver an extremely high quality file with the alpha channel. You will need to render once in FC.
    Hope this helps.

  • XML in Oracle 9i (best method to return a xml file from a table query)

    Hello.
    What is the best method to query a table, or set of tables (that will return thousands of rows) using xml in oracle? (best performance)
    I'm currently using DBMS_XMLGen, is there a better method ?

    I think, if your talking about generating XML, that you should use XMLElement, XMLForest, etc. to create your XML.
    Lets assume that you base is relational data, then maybe the following great example will give you an idea how to do it : Re: Generate XML Schema from oracle tables
    As michaels pointed out (did you read the link/ URL given?), the general expectancy is that the packages will be less and less important. So also maintenance wise the XMLElement, etc way will be the best, also for the future, maintainable method.

  • Converting .ACO file to .ASE file

    Is there a way to convert a .aco file to a .ase file so it can be imported into Illustrator 5.5? The .aco file was generated by Photoshop CS 5.5.

    Yes. Load the .aso swatches into Photoshop, then use swatches palette > > Save swatches for exchange to make a .ase. You can then in Illustrator swatches >> open swatch library >> other library.

If this is answered elsewhere in this forum, I apologize ahead of time.Most folks here recommend DCU, as they have great auto loan rates (as low as 1.74%).  Their website is www.dcu.org. Acura also currently has a great promo rate on many of their vehicles - currently 1.9% for 60-months.  Almost 3 years ago, I bought a brand new Acura and got 0.9% for 60-months.  This was right before Labor Day in 2012.  Not sure if they do the promo 0.9% rate every year around Labor Day, though. Good luck!!Thank you!

  • Best method for exporting data???

    Howdy!I am exporting data from my production Essbase databases every day. I have chosen to export "ALL" data, but have not been exporting it in column format. Would someone please comment on the pro's & con's of archiving data this way?TIAJR

    Pros of exporting all data in column format:1. You can reaload a database quickly without calculation2. Using column format, you can use a load rule to load parts of the data3. If some of your data is created by unique calcs, you can recover it easier in case of a crashCons:1.You can end up with very large files(actually a lot of 2 gig files)2. It can take a long time depending on the size of your databases3. Exports prevent you from doing other things to the cube while exporting. Glenn [email protected]

  • Best Method for Saving Data to File?

    Hi, 
    We're using labVIEW 2009 to acquire data from our instrument.  In the past we have used the "write to labview measurement file" express configuration tool to save data to a file. However we had some issues with our VI - occasionally we would lose data or column headers somewhat erratically and were never able to sort out the problem. We would like to rewrite our VI with the best possible solution. 
     Here's a summary of what we would like to do:
    Save 30 variables at a rate of roughly 1 Hz. We would like one set of column headers per file so that the data can be easily imported into labVIEW with the variable names intact. We will be collecting data continuously, so we would like to divide the data into 3-4 files per day. Ideally, the program to start new files at the same times from day to day and the filename could be configured to include the date and time/file number.
    I am hoping that users can provide a little feedback about methods that were most successful and reliable. From what I have read there are a few different ways to do this (express VI, tdms, "write to text file"). Any thoughts or relevant examples would be quite useful for us!
    Thanks for your help!

    Is it correct to say that in your method, the indexing results in building up the data into one large array of data before saving it to the file with the column headers and filenames appended?  If we are writing data at 1Hz for 6 hours of time, will we run into an issue being able to store all the data?
    Yes the indexing will build up one large array.  If this is a problem due to array size and memory, you will have to write more often.  You can write every second, that should not be a problem.  You should still write the column names to the file first, and have the append input set to False (or nothing wired in since the default is false).  This will create a new file with the headers only.  Then the data write has a True wired in so that the append takes place.  If running for 6 hours and gathering data once per second, your array will contain 36,006 rows of data.  I'm not sure if that would cause a memory problem or not.
    Meg T wrote:
     it also seems difficult to incorporate headers into express VI if you are writing the data continuously as a part of a loop with the "append" option.
    If you write the headers before the loop as I have shown, and use append inside the loop, you will not have problems.
