Anyone had top border of image distorted capturing HDV?

Hi All,
I've been capturing HDV footage from my HC1 into FCP 5.1.1. All the setting are correct, as far as I can tell. The image looks great and I've got no problems - except that the top border of my image is fluctuating, creating a kind of wavy line at the very top of the image. It's terribly distracting and doesn't do this on the bottom or anywhere else.
Any ideas?

Could the reason be that you are capturing to an FAT32 format hard drive and it is only allowing you a limited maximum file size? Not sure but I think it is 4GB which would equate to 1/3 of a DV 13GB hour ...or about 20 minutes.
If that is correct, and you should be able to tell because the capture window will display the file size limit as space available during capture, you could do one of two things:
* reformat the drive as NTFS which removes the file size limitation (I have just done this on an external drive for exactly the same reason), but do look up online instructions for this and do it carefully.
* if the material is not long continuous shots of over 20 minutes, switch on Scene Detect during capture; it's wise to cut material up into smaller chunks in any case as huge files become very unwieldy and handling them could slow your machine right down.

Has anyone had issues with poor image quality when using lightroom to process raw images from Canon 7dmk2

Hi everyone..
..I have been having image quality issues when using Lightroom to process raw files from a 7d mk2... They are all soft with poor clarity.....tonight in despair I tried processing them using canon's software and they are totally different..."much better"
anyone else had similar problems....Andy

I have a 7D2 and have not had what I interpret as poor image quality that has anything to do with the camera.
Can you post a screenshot of what you’re seeing and what specifically you don’t like? Maybe there is something you can do differently or at least there may be an explanation for what you’re seeing.
And if you have a raw image that you wouldn’t mind sharing in a public forum, upload to http://www.dropbox.com/ then post a public share link to it in a reply, here.
In other words post a screenshot of what you see in LR, another of what you see using DPP, and a link to the raw file you’re processing.

Mac: Cmd Click on top border of image file to see where saved

Is there also a shortcut in CS6?

By the way, for reference by the future readers of this thread: Conroy's tip works in Windows too, though the wording is a little different.

I installed Mavericks yesterday and have now got problems with QuarkXpress 9. Every time I click on an image and try to move it the application crashes. Anyone had similar problems or got any suggestions?

Hi Guys
Updated my 2 imacs to Maverick yesterday. Schoolboy error on my part not checking if there were problems with any programmes before I did.
Quark is now a nightmare with no short term answer on the way. As a Quark user for over 20 years this is just another reason to hold your hands up and say OK Indesign you win I will have to learn how to use you and Quark will be a distant memory.
I am told there will probably be no solution to getting quak 9 running on Maverick and that you will need to update to 10 in about 2-3 weeks to get back to normal. Having spent a few bob on 2 versions of 9.5 only in Feb this year i didn't really want to upgrade yet.
So its cough up to carry on using Quark or learn Indesign.
I have lost faith in Quark as they are quick to send me e-mails asking me to upgrade to this and that version, why didn't they send one out saying do not upgrade to Maverick. Perhaps they know there loyal follwing will uograde to 10 and will generate a nice little bonus before Xmas.
Lots to do today and will now take 10 times longer to do it. Is this 2013 or 1974!!!!!
If anyone hears of a solution please post ASAP

Has anyone had trouble manipulating Nikon D750 raw image (NEF) in Aperture version 3.6 on Yosemite?

Has anyone had trouble manipulating Nikon D750 raw image (NEF) in Aperture (version 3.6 500021000000000.3, Digital Camera RAW 6.0 - Build 761.5, Digital Camera RAW support 6000 - Build 136.1)
I used to be able to manipuplate Nikon Raw (NEF) images from a Nikon D70 and D3200 using Aperture, until the 70 died and the 3200 was stolen about 18 months ago. Recently I did two things: (1) I upgraded OS X to Yosemite and (2) purchased a Nikon D750. I have successfully imported NEF files from the camera to Aperture, but the images do not render/ cannot be opened/ manipulated. Instead, I see a black thumbnail for each imported image with a cassette recorder play icon in the center of each image.
I can view the NEF image in Finder preview mode, either directly when viewing the images on the camera SD card or after exporting the previously imported NEF image from Aperture to my desktop or user folder. Previously imported NEF image seem unaffected.
thanks.
D.

The current Apple OSX 10.10 Yosemite and the current Aperture version 3.6 do not have support yet for importing Nikon d750 nef/raw files. It usually takes Apple six to eight weeks to release a new digital camera raw update file for new Nikon dslr models. Once that digital camera raw update file is finally released, update your current version of Aperture and that will allow you to import your d750 raw files. In the meantime, you have many workarounds. In my opinion, the easiest is to save images in duplicate nef/raw and jpeg image files to your SD cards.
And for now, just import the jpegs to Aperture 3.6 from your d750. Process your jpegs in Aperture - and hope your clients are happy with the jpegs and can wait for later nef/raw image processing. Be sure to save and do not erase your original SD cards that include the nef/raw and jpeg files - then when Aperture finally releases a new digital camera raw file update that includes the d750 - just insert your original camera SD cards into the computer platform and import the old d750 nef/raw files and edit/process them.
There are many other ways to proceed in the interim as well. You can always import your d750 nef/raw images into Lightroom (if it has been updated to convert the d750 nef files) and process them there. But for the time being, if you can afford to save and hold onto your original SD cards and wait for the inevitable Aperture digital camera raw update, this is a very easy and simple way to proceed.

Has anyone had difficulties opening up an image from Lightroom to Photoshop CC?

Has anyone had difficulties opening up an image from Lightroom to Photoshop CC?

Hi Tom,
Kind of you to reply. My 'titles' conform, as they always have done. I've used a few versions of PSE over the years. Pics edited in an older version opened up no probs on ipad.
When I upgraded my camera a few years ago I had to upgrade PSE because the updated codec for shooting raw was not available for downloading to earlier versions of the programme. The same occurred again with another camera upgrade, which is why I am using PSE12 now.
Cheers

When I upload photos, some of the images do not show, but appear as a dotted square. has anyone had this problem?

Hi Terence, When I am uploading photos from a memory card,not all of the photos show up on I photo as a photo image, but show up as a dotted square line. For example, I just added 12 photo from two days. The first day had 5 photos, but only 4 show up as images, then there is 1 as dotted a square. The next day, there 7 images, with only 4 showing up as photos, and three as the dotted squares.
I am using I photo 11, 9.1.1.
Thank you

Do you have your Opacity Control set to a very low value?

Can you lock aspect ratio, define border and image size with automated BatchCropStraighten?

Hello everybody,
I need to crop and straighten a load of scanned rectangular stamps that will start as a single scanned image, and I want to lock the aspect ratio to 1:1, define the top border size (such that the the borders on the sides will be bigger than those top and bottom) and specify the output image size.
Does anybody know if this is possible using the automates BatchCropStraighten function?
Thanks,
Paul

I know of no BatchCropStraighten feature in Photoshop. Photoshop has a Plugin CropPhotosAuto that you access through menu File>Automate>Crop and Straighten Photos.
On my windows system its "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Required\Plug-Ins\Automate\CropPhotosAuto.8li". This plug-in is designed to help you scan several image with a single scan. All the plug-in does is to look at the current active document looking for what appears to be a scanned image and to create an additional document that contain a straighten version of the image the size of the image. No files are created nothing is saved only one document is processed even if you had several scans open in Photoshop. When the Plug-in ends the current active document is the last document the plugin created.
You may be able to program a Photoshop script that would fit the create documents to some size then add canvas that would make all the documents have the same Aspect ratio and size. The borders added would be equally sizes on opposite sides top and bottom the same left and right the same. However the image aspect ration inside the borders may vary.
I created a fake scan with five simulated images. Not straight and not all rectangles and duped the document so two would be open the used File>Automate>Crop and Straighten Photos when the process finished I spread out the document so you could see all that are open in this screen capture.

I have six memory cards and my computer will no longer download the pictures from them into my iphotos. Says error with one of the pics. Has anyone had trouble lie this and what do I do?

I have six memory cards that my computer will not download. It says there is an error with one of the photos. Has anyone had this problem and what do I do to fix it? It used to download

What version of iPhoto?
Does this message come on all six cards?
Are these Raw or Jpegs? If Raw, what camera?
Can you access the images on the cards with Image Capture (in your Applications folder?)

How to add a border around images posted to Facebook?

I am using LR 4.1, also usis PS CS5.
Anyone who uses Facebook to showcase image galleries knows that Facebook changes how images are displayed from time to time. One month it will be on a black background and the next on a white background. And then they put overlay's on top of your images and they change things around whenever they wish. There is not rock solid consistency from Facebook on how they display your images across devices or over time.
What I am trying to do is to add some consistency to how my images are displayed by adding my own border to my images. I need some ideas on how to best do this. The way that I have been doing it does not appear to be ideal and I think someone must have a better way.
Ideally, I would want Lightroom to add a border for me based on some setting under the export manager. But as far I know there is no setting to do this? (Why doesn't lightroom have any border options anywhere yet for anything it exports? This would be relatively simple I think.)
Here is the only way I know how to solve my issue.
First, my other considerations:
I want to keep my original images in my catalog in tact and as is w/o a border and with layers if it is a .psd file. I do NOT want to destructively add a border to the catalog images, only the images that end up on Facebook. I also want to add my watermark image to the final image so that it is done as the last step so that the bottom part of my watermark shows my web site address over the white border on the bottom of the image. Using a droplet and the watermark in the same step does not work properly because it applies the watermark before it runs the action, not after.
I have created an action to add a x pixel white border by:
Merging (flatten) all layers
Creating a new unlocked background "image" layer
Expanding the canvas by x pixels.
Creating a new white filled layer and moving it to the bottom of the layer's pallet.
Adding a 2 pixel black inside stroke to my image layer and adding a drop shadow.
I created a droplet from this action and put it in the droplet folder for LR.
Now for the repeated steps that I am going through...
Select the images that I want to write to Facebook.
Export these images to a new folder using the droplet.
Import the folder of all of these images back into Lightroom.
Move the new images with borders on them into the correct LR FB publish service.
Publish the photos using the sharpening and watermark settings.
Delete the .psd files created in Step #2
The steps that I would like to avoid are #2, #3, #6
Or maybe I am going about this all wrong? Anybody have any better ideas?

You may find it much easier to use the Migrify plug-in from Tim Armes/Photographers Toolbox which does what you want from within Lr.

Images distorted on exported webpages

Anyone seen this? Some images exported from a 'Create Web Page' gallery appear distorted, like the jpg export from the RAW (NEF from D70s; RAW Converter 2.0) original has not resized correctly, so the resulting jpgs are stretched or squashed and only part of the image is exported. Displays OK in the Web Gallery, only affects the exported jpgs. Doesn't happen to all images, but does happen consistently to those affected. Affects both the 'large' image and its corresponding thumbnail.

I experienced this for the first time last night with several D200 NEF's. Some of them were very distorted when exported as jpg's. I couldn't get A2 to recreate this consistently though. I was exporting a series of pictures and I each time I'd re-export them, the results were different. I had just loaded the images into my Library and touched several of them up? After restarting A2 and trying again, everything seems to be working fine. I know for a fact it isn't preview re-lated in my case since I have all previews turned off. It could be a thumbnail issue maybe?

Need help diagnosing cause of printing issue w/ image distortion

Hello, I'm looking for some expert advice for my print issue with image distortion (see above) on my files once setup and proofed by my printer.
I have a large PSD background file out of photoshop (CMYK, 170mb psd) that is being placed into an InDesign document. No preflight errors, all correct SWOP cmyk settings, and I keep having issues where images distort on my printers proofs - they seem unable to explain the issue and can't offer any other suggestions beyond ("just try resaving/uploading again" which of course has an added fee with each upload...).
The files are all fine on our end: on-screen, on our cmyk proofs, and our saved PDFs/packaged files. But everytime our printer opens these they seem to have these distorted image problems - scrambled images (almost as if there was a ghosted transparent image in the distorted area), strange lines (see above, and color distortion (usually greens and pinks, see above).
Is this an issue with my settings/file formats? Maybe the issue lies on our printers end? I'll keep checking this throughout the day and provide quick answers to anyone who can help me get to the bottom of this.
Adobe forums have been a huge help in years past so I decided this was by best bet for a resolution from those who know more than myself (or my printer), thanks for taking the time to help!
