Automate image capture / deploy WinPE 4.0

Hi All,
I need help with capturing an image on a Win8.1 tablet. The Thinkpad Tablet 2 only has 1 USB port and no keyboard support in WinPE as far as I know. I was able to inject the touch screen drivers to the PE environment and even execute gimageX, but
I am not sure how to format the partition before applying the image. ( I can't type diskpart and select the drive)
I have the idea, at least I think so. create a script that will automatically format the local drive of the target machine with diskpart, then since gimagex can execute after that, the rest will be easy I guess. I just don't know much about scripting part
I am more interested in a script that can format the correct partition and not my thumb drive, additionally if possible, I would also like a script to capture / deploy - or point me to the right direction please.
thanks in advanced!!

Automate image capture scanning

Is there a way to assign keyboard short cuts to the 'preview' and 'scanning' buttons in the Image Capture Scanning Interface?

(I don't see a preview button- I assume you mean the "overview" button).
There is probably a way to write an applescript to do this. Or you could create a service in Automator (using the record feature), and then assign a keyboard shortcut to the automator service.
Or you can use Quickeys Startly - QuicKeys 4 for Mac OS X
I've always found automator to be somewhat unreliable for this kind of thing, but I just created the service and the keyboard shortcut in a few minutes of playing around, and it seems to work. Quickeys has been more reliable for me.

Linksys WVC210 Automated Video/Image Capture

So i have a need to do automated video/image capture from a pair LinkSys WVC210's, they are being used in a friends shop and aswell as being able to view from home there is also a requirement to record them.
It needed to be simple and not a big combersome display with fairly large hardware requirements like the supplied software, so i started with a VB Script doing what i wanted but had the need to do some more advanced stuff so ported it over to VB.Net and would like to share the software/source if anyone else want's something similar.
Bassicly it is a Command Line App that accepts 4 arguments.
Usage is as follows:
LinkSysWVC.exe 192.168.1.211 Front 10 10
Where the first arg is obviously the Camera's IP, the 2nd arg is a Name for the camera that will be used in the filenames of videos and images, the 3rd arg is how long to record for in seconds, and the final arg is how many loops to do
The Program uses native VB code to download the image from the camera and save it to a file, and mencoder to capture the streaming video.
I chose mencoder as it is cross platform, simple, supports streaming containers and can output virtually any video.
It saves the stream as a AVI with the following specs:
Video

At the moment there is no error checking, all it does is attempt to ping the camera if it responds then it starts the capture process.

How can I turn off the preview (overview) automatically executed when I launch Image Capture?

I love using Image Capture, but every time I launch it, it automatically does a previes of my scanner's flatbed. Most of the time, I don't use the flatbed. I use the feeder to scan multiple pages.
My question is this: Is there any way to turn off the automatic preview (overview) that Image Capture executes when it's launched?
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance!

Not a direct answer.
From Image Capture Help:
Scan pages with a document-feeding scanner
When you scan a document with a document-feeding scanner, the same settings are used for all the pages in the feeder. If your pages need different settings (for example, some are grayscale and some are color), separate them into different groups.
Before you begin these steps, you need to open your scanner. For instructions, see one of these help topics:
Scan an image
Scan an image with Image Capture
Scan an image with Preview
Place the pages in the scanner’s document feeder.
Turn on the Use Document Feeder option, if it’s present.
Set scanning options.You may need to click Show Details to see all the available options.Here are some of the options you can set. The options available to you depend on the scanner you’re using. Some options aren’t available on all scanners, and some scanners may have more options.
To choose the type of image being scanned, use the Kind pop-up menu.Choose Text for black-and-white images with high contrast, such as text. Choose Black & White for grayscale images. Choose Color for color images.
To scan both sides of a page, select Duplex.
To choose a size for the scanned image, use the Size pop-up menu.
To choose where to save the scanned images, use the Scan To pop-up menu.If you choose a folder, the images are stored in that folder. If you choose an app, the images are opened with that app.
To adjust the colors or exposure of the scanned image, choose Manual from the Image Correction pop-up menu, and adjust the controls.If you don’t see the image correction controls, scroll down or make the Scanner window taller.
Click Scan.The scanner scans the pages one by one.

How to automatically crop images in Image Capture for import into iPhoto?

On my PowerBook G4 / Mac OS X 10.4.2, I'm using the Image Capture 3.0.3 application to capture images coming from scanning photographs with a CanoScan 8400F.
Can I get the Image Capture application to automatically set the crop frame on the overview? Other applications do that, but with Image Capture it seems that after I do the Overview (preview), I have to manually set the crop frame by clicking and dragging, before I can click the Scan button to do the scan?
P.S. It seems that iPhoto does not handle scanning, and you do have to use a different application to scan photos before importing them into iPhoto.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

If you hide the details pane Image Capture will scan immediately to a specified folder. Other way is to open printers and faxing from the system preferences , select the scanning tab of your printer and click Open scanner. It will start scanning immediately without opening Image Capture. To set other software as default you should open Image Capture, select your printer/scanner and click the scanner buttons. It will then let you chose which program should be launched when you scan a document.

Yosemite 10.10.3 Bug in Image Capture - no automatic delete

After updating Yosemite to 10.10.3, the "Delete After Import" feature in Image Capture no longer works. The images import properly, but they do not automatically delete (even though the box is checked). You are then able to manually delete the images, but one image is always permanently un-deletable (I was able to replicate this bug by importing images from my iPhone, iPad and Canon Digital Camera).

Don't think it's a bug, just tried with my iPhone 4s and image capture imported pictures followed by deleting same from phone - same with manual delete, all removed if all selected. Think the clue to your issue might be the fact you can not manually delete a particular picture, is it protected or could it be corrupt?
Try deleting the troublesome picture via the iDevice and then see what happens when you attempt importing others, if you have the same issue but on another picture you might try restoring the iDevice (but that will not resolve the problem if it also happens with the camera!).
I might just be lucky, wait and see if others report similar problem after 10.10.3 upgrade.

Want Image Capture to automatically open instead of iPhoto

When I upload photos from my camera, iPhoto automatically opens. How can I set up Image Capture as the default, instead?

MDT Capturing an new image after deployment

Hi
I have captured a reference image and deployed it. I edited the custom.ini file and bootstrap to have practically zero touch deployment. I did find that I had to connect to the mdt server and run litetouch.vbs to capture the image from the reference
machine. My question is once the deployment was done I wanted to capture a new image from a new reference machine and wasn't able to do it when running litetouch.vbs. It would through out an error of cant find ini. I uninstalled mdt and reinstalled it with
adk and can now capture again. Is there another way? I don't want to have to uninstall mdt each time. Is this because I edited the custom.ini file ?
Thanks

Image Capture and iPhoto automatically launch...

Hi:
I am using OS X Yosemite. Whenever I connect a camera to my computer, iPhoto automatically launches. Since I don't use iPhoto, I have to close it before I can download my photos to Adobe Lightroom. in iPhoto—> Preferences—> General I have it set to "Connecting Camera opens: No application" But iPhoto launches anyway. How can I make it stop?
Whenever I connect an iOS device to my computer, the app Image Capture launches. I don't need this to happen either. How can I make it stop?
Thanks!
Janet

Open image caputre. Plug in the device. Select the device in the list. Open the icon at the bottom of the window and set the device to open no application or choose the application you want it to open.
Repeat for all devices you plug in to that computer.

Image Capture - Automatic Task

I wanted to put an applescript to post process images downloaded from my digital camera. I tried putting the applescript file in the following directories:
/Library/Scripts/Applications/Image Capture/
/Library/Workflows/Applications/Image Capture/
/System/Library/Image Capture/Automatic Tasks/
And restarting Image Capture and restarting computer and nothing shows up in the Automatic Task list. I tried selecting Other... but Automater or Applescripts are unselectable.
Any ideas?
Thanks

That's helpful, but doesn't provide a way to get the automatic task that Image Capture offered in 10.5. A folder action is not nearly as good, because typically one downloads multiple items off a camera, and you want the automatic task to run after this completes. I believe a folder action is triggered when the first item is added.
(You can add a kluge to the folder action script to wait for some amount of time, but that is a poor way of doing things, since you don't know the right amount of time; too short and you miss items; too long and the items aren't adjusted before you want to play with them.)
I'm puzzled why Apple would take away such a handy feature.

Image Capture & Automator to simululate USB reconnect

Greetings:
I'm trying to force a camera without dedicated tethering software (and that is not supported via Lightroom Tethering) to actually "tether."
I get about 90% of the way there, save for one problem: How can I make Image Capture automatically download a photo each time I take one, without unplugging and replugging the USB cable?
Obviously, I can tell Image Capture to open AutoImporter each time I connect the camera, which automatically downloads new photos in my camera into my Mac (where Lightroom then takes over and "auto imports" these into my Library).
BUT... if I take a new photo, then the only way I've been able to "import" that new photos is to unplug and replug the USB cable. Surely this can be solved by Automator?
I found one Automator action called "Take Picture" that works well with my camera and *almost* does what I want. That is, I can take a picture and it automatically downloads to my Mac. BUT, the problem with this action is it must be initiated from the Mac. That is, the Mac is used to trigger the camera's shutter. I don't want this. I want to trigger the shutter ON THE CAMERA, and have the file automatically download into a specified folder on the Macintosh.
Is there any automator action that will do this?
All I want is to take a picture (using my camera's shutter release) and have it automatically download to the Mac. The closest I've been able to come is to set up Image Capture and unplug/plug the USB cable each time to "trigger" the download. Seems like some bit of software could do this for me?
Thanks!

How can I control dpi when importing with Image Capture?

This is not really an iPhoto question, but there is no forum for Image Capture - and I am hoping some iPhoto user has discovered a solution.
I usually import my digital camera images into a folder using Image Capture, apply Photoshop corrections, THEN move the adjusted and re-named images to iPhoto for organization and storage.
When I open the images for the first time in Photoshop, the Image Size box always shows the resolution as 72 dpi. I can easily convert this to 300 dpi in Photoshop, but I would prefer to avoid the extra step for every photo.
So far, I have not been able to find any setting in either my camera menus or Image Capture to change the default from 72 dpi to 300 dpi - any suggestions?
I am using Image Capture v3.0.3, Mac OS v10.4.11 and iPhoto v7.1.5
thanks,
-gw

Old Toad said: "If these services printed your files at 72 dpi you would end up with very large prints."
Obviously - which is exactly what I want to avoid!
In fact Photoshop tries to do that, warning me: "The image is larger than the paper's area, some clipping will occur."
Terence Delvin said: "When you print the density of those pixels will determine the quality of the print. So, change the density and the dimensions change. Change the dimensions and the density changes. See the relationship?"
Yes, I understand all that perfectly.
I guess my real question should have been:
"Are there any print services or page-layout-type software applications that honor the exif data and try to print or re-size using a print resolution of 72 dpi without making the user re-define the density to something more print friendly?
For example:
I have a 3936x2624 pixel image for which Photoshop's Get Info shows the print resolution as 72 dpi. If I drag that image into a Microsoft Word document, then Word does some kind of magic resizing to fit the image on the width of my 8.5x11" document. With margins, the image is now about 4x6". Looks good on my screen (but then even a 72 dpi image would, wouldn't it).
Obviously, MS Word downsized the image, but I can't find any way to make Word show me what print resolution it is choosing to assign to the resized image. It looks fine when printed, so I'm pretty sure that, in this case, something higher than 72 dpi was used.
If ALL software of this type (word processing and page layout) automatically ignores the 72 dpi print resolution in the EXIF data when resizing, then it's a non-issue, as you suggest. Lacking, much real world experience with print-based projects, I wasn't sure if it was something to worry about - apparently not?

Canon PIXMA 860 and 560 not recognized by Image Capture

I can scan from the printers to my MacBook. And I go to System Prefernces / Printers and Faxes and both are shown as printers and as scanners. I can open from their and scan but when I open image capture it doesn't find any scanners.
I down loaded and installed both the newest canon printer and scanner drivers as well as the newest ICA driver. Still they are not recognized.
What am I missing?

ATC7 wrote:
Just for testing purposes, I removed the canon printer, removed all canon software and updates from my system and then used the original CD that came with my 870 to reinstall the printer and lo and behold, Image Capture started working again for wireless scanning.
Hello and thanks for the feedback.
There are two scanner drivers available for many of the new models of Canon AIOs. There is the ICA driver and the Canon scanner driver.
During my tests on clean builds of 10.6.x I found that my Canon AIOs were able to print and scan via wireless by simply installing the Canon update provided by Apple. This update consisted of the then latest printer driver for many models of Canon AIO and inkjet and the ICA driver. Canon's scanner driver was not included as part of this download from Apple.
The ICA driver is installed in HD > Library > Image Capture > Devices and the package is called Canon IJScanner1. Later versions of the ICA driver also installed another package, Canon IJScanner2. These ICA drivers provide a minimal amount of scanning selections and only appear to work with Image Capture and Preview. Other applications like Canon's own MP Navigator and Adobe Acrobat Pro will not scan with just the ICA driver installed. The Canon scanner driver for the respective model is required.
From what you have said and from my own testing I propose that the original CD did not contain the ICA driver but the Canon scanner driver for the MX870. And with only this driver installed you were able to scan using Image Capture via the wireless. I don't recall ever testing a 10.6 build where only the Canon scanner driver was installed and not the ICA driver (it is present by default on 10.6 but only has older models of Canon AIO's - your MX870 is not there). Had I tested this I believe that I would have been able to scan via wireless using Image Capture.
I also propose that once you installed the Canon v2.4.1 update, which contains a version of the ICA driver package that is also available from Canon web sites, then Image Capture stopped using the Canon MX870 scanner driver and used the ICA driver instead, thus stopping you from wireless scanning.
Right now I am using a new build of 10.6.6 on my MBPro. So that I could print to my MP990 at home and an MG6150 at work I simply installed the v2.4.1 update and have printer and scanner queues in Print & Fax for both. I have not installed scanner drivers for either device and at home with my MP990 Image Capture does not show any device being available, while Preview does show the MP990 once I select 'Import from Scanner > Include Networked Devices'. Also, Acrobat Pro 9 does not show my MP990 being available.
And with regards to the v2.4.1 update, the drivers included are provided by Canon to Apple, just as the other vendor drivers are provided to Apple, to make life easier for us Mac users. The drivers are available individually and get downloaded and installed automatically when the respective model is connected to the Mac and no local driver is present. As for the package including all these individual vendor drivers, this would be created by Apple.

No Preferences with Image Capture

No Preferences option when Image Capture app is running. I can't believe it, but is this new in SL? If so why?
I have discovered the Prefs for AutoImporter. Is that all there are?
I am ham-strung by my Canon SX200 failing to be recognised as a USB device so I can't see it to strip out the image files in Finder, nor will its images show up in Picasa. When the camera appears in Image Capture, the chance to modify what app is opened and setting this to AutoImporter dumps the pics into a folder. Can this be (simply) modded to run AutoImp AND Picasa?

First: no Prefs in Image Capture, There are Prefs in AutoImporter, It seems odd that the more user-facing IC has none.
The preferences are there, just not in a separate preferences window like with many other apps. When you attach a camera with firmware or add-on software compatible with Mac OS X, it appears in the "Devices" list of Image Capture. Click on it in the devices list & you should get a resizable view of its images on the right & on the left, below the Devices list, a +device settings+ pane with the same name as in the devices list. The +per camera+ preferences are there, allowing you to select an app (or no app) to automatically open when that camera is connected, whether or not to share the camera over the local network, & if the images in the camera should be automatically deleted after import. If you don't see the device settings pane, click on the icon at the bottom of the Devices list to expose it.
If you are concerned about accidentally wiping the camera's images, do not select the preference "Delete After Import." This setting is retained, so unless you select the delete option again, that won't happen.
If you have already selected some other app to automatically open, the next time you connect the camera, launch Image Capture manually & change that preference to the desired app (or to no app). That preference will be retained as well. You can't set more than one app to launch automatically, though. This would result in both apps trying to manage the camera's images at the same time, leading to a crash or an error in one or both of them, depending on their design.
Of course, you can also set any available preferences of the app you have chosen to handle the images. This will vary depending on that apps capabilities & design as well. That's why you can't set AutoImporter's preferences from within Image Capture -- it is a separate app that just like its name suggests, only automatically imports the images into a pre-designated folder hierarchy.
For whatever app you choose to automatically open, you also get whatever 'per connection' options that app supports. For instance, both Image Capture & Preview have the same resizable view of the images, & the same row of options along the bottom of that. Until you click one of the two import buttons, nothing happens to the images in the camera, & they are deleted on import only if that preference is set.
If you think about it, this is a very logical & flexible implementation. You have +per device+ preferences conveniently centralized in one app, but +per application+ preferences & +per connection+ options localized in each application, since they may vary greatly from app to app. This gives you many more options than if everything was crammed into Image Capture.
Does that make sense?
