Automator is inverting my images - HELP!

I put together a workflow to scale and rename some images for an online shopping cart and when the workflow finishes processing, the images are inverted (negative). I certainly haven't added anything in the script to prompt this, what's going on?
How can I get Automator to stop doing this?

Nevermind. The person who put together the collection had not converted all the photos to RGB. Thanks anyway.

Can't invert an image

Hello,
          I've been working on Java Advanced Imaging for a while to create FAX TIFF, but failed to invert the image's color (which was negative white-on-black) to positive.
          BufferedImage form_img;
          RenderedOp rop;
          ParameterBlock pb;
          pb = new ParameterBlock();
          pb.addSource(form_img);
          rop = JAI.create("invert",form_img);
          System.out.print("rop = " + rop + "\n\n"); // DEBUG
          System.out.print("pb = " + pb + "\n\n"); // DEBUG
          img_enc.encode(rop);The result:
rop = PlanarImage[minX=0 minY=0 width=0 height=0 tileGridXOffset=0 tileGridYOffs
et=0 tileWidth=0 tileHeight=0 sampleModel=null colorModel=null]
pb = java.awt.image.renderable.ParameterBlock@1b273ccAnd sure enough, it gives out an exception when trying to encode image.
Anyone know where I did wrong?
Thanks

Automator: render pdf to images

I am taking a folder of pdf files all named numerically in the order they should be in and rendering them to images using the automator "render pdf to images."
This outputs the images with completly random names. Even using the "Rename Finder Items" as suggested right after the Render pdf to images still does not produce images in the right order.
This is really frustrating as I can't even see how this function could be useful for anyone if it can't produce images with some kind of logical file names.
Does anyone have experience with this?

Not sure what the testers of some of these actions were thinking about, but you might try using the Dispense Item Incrementally action to step through your file list one at a time.

A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially.
I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.

Disk Images Helper Gone Wild?

I've just noticed some strange behavior with a process called "disk images helper." A little while ago, I saw that my CPU usage had peaked, even though I wasn't using any processor-intensive apps. Upon checking Activity Monitor, I saw that the culprit was the "disk images helper," which was using a whopping 99% of my CPU. I'm not sure how this happened, but I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this behavior and if so, what might be the cause behind it.
Thanks.

Also had this on 10.4.11. I had spotted what I took to be an incomplete download - accidentally tried to mount it and it seems to have happened since then. Killing the process seems to do the job.

Need help in automating batch placing of images on spreads

My workflow is :
I have jpeg files (mostly 100+).
They are the size of 2 pages (e.g. 1 spread per jpeg file)
I need to place them on either even or odd page (aligned Top-Left).
Currently I’m doing this work manually.
Need help to automate this.
Thanks and regards.

As I mentioned earlier I have very little experience with JavaScript.
I also copied the ImageCatalog script to a new file and read it atleast five times, and tried to wrap my head around the flow of execution.
The comments were really helpful in the process.
I proritized what i want to achive with my script and started deleting unwanted code. I also tested it frequently.
Here is my script as it stands right now.

        myExtensions = [".jpg", ".jpeg"]
        //Display the folder browser.
        var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select the folder containing the images", "");
        //Get the path to the folder containing the files you want to place.

How do I make Automator unmount a disk image everytime I quit Entourage?

I've found a way to password protest my email, by sticking my entourage data files in an encrypted disk image and then making an alias to link into that password protected disk image. My question is how do I make an Automator workflow that unmounts that disk image automatically when I quit Entourage. There has got to be a way to do this. It should be the most simple script.
On Entourage Quit: Unmount disk image [x]
But I can't seem to find out how to get this done.
Can anyone help?

Encore does have a fit-to-disc feature, called "automatic transcoding", which chooses the bit rate based upon how much media there is to encode, how much room is currently on the disc, and applying format-legal restrictions (minimum and maximum bit rates allowable by the format).
So for instance, 30 minutes of video will never fill a disc because the required bit rate to do so would be higher than allowable by the format.

"Mirror" Image {Help!}

I actually want a mirror image but can not figure out how to make my picture that way. I need it like that for a heat tranfer to a mouse pad! Any help would be great I'm new to this whole mac world!

There's a free image editor, Seashore, that will do the job. Just set up iPhoto to use Seashore as the editor of choice when you double click on a thumbnail and then flip the image horizontally and save. If you also want to use iPhoto's editor then see the following:
Using 2 Image Editors in iPhoto
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and a 3rd party editor without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected the 3rd party editor as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". Then when you Control-click on an image, you can select "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu to edit in your selected editor.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar

How to preserve original filename in Automator 'render pdf as images'?

Using Automator's 'render pdf as images' will result in output of files in random names
What are the correct workflow if the desired output files would be the original filename? Ex: manual.pdf ---> manual.jpg, manual.pdf ---> 0001bU.jpg
PS: I have tried 'Rename Finder Items--->Make sequential' but it still doesnt produce the desired output, it only makes manual.pdf ---> 0001bU-01.jpg

You convert the CMYK document to RGB using standard color management. The rest is beside the point. We know nothing about your experience in 3D nor your actual artwork, settings, system and so on. Just slapping on a texture on a 3D model doesn't make it look "real" or even photo-realistic. You have to understand lighting, shading and how to prepare textures properly, stuff for which you can find any number of tutorials on the web (though not specifically for PS 3D).

IPhoto can't import RAW Images (HELP!!!)

Since I updated My mac to the new Yosemite software, I can't seem to import any RAW images.
It hangs and out of 100 images that im trying to import , only 2 are imported ( for half an hour ) and they are distorted
I 've reinstalled it and still the same problem.
I'm using a Nikon D610
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011)
OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
looking forward for your help.
Thank you

First Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down), select Disk Utility and repair disk permissions and the disk. Reboot normally.
If that doesn't help try either of these fixes:

Re: Digital Camera Raw Compatibility 6.02 - Nikon D800
in response to ceylin.e
[DocumentBodyStart:3bf5afd7-94e9-4fb4-acfa-7aa13198efec]
Make a backup of your system and try to downgrade the RAW support to version 6.01
To downgrade the RAW Support to the last version from before the last update try this:
To reinstall the 'RAW Compatibility Update' it is necessary to uninstall the currently installed raw support. Otherwise the installer will rightfully say, that you already have the latest version installed.
If your tests are showing that the problem happens also in a different user account, try this:
The RAW support files are installed in the System Library in the folder "/System/Library/CoreServices" Folder:
To open this folder, use the Finder's "Go" menu. Click the smiling Finder icon in the Dock to bring the Finder forward.
Then type the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘G (for "Finder > Go > Go to folder") and copy and paste "/System/Library/CoreServices" into the text field. Click the "Go" button.
In the Finder window that will open, delete both the files "RawCamera.bundle" and "RawCameraSupport.bundle". You will have to enter your Administrator password. (don't empty the Trash, so you can put the files back, if need be)
Download the current RAW support update from Apple's Support Site:
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1777?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
In the Downloads folder you will find the disk image with the installer. Double click it to open and run and the installer.
Then restart your Mac.
However, instead of Digital RAW Compatibility 6.0.1 download and apply Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 5.01
which is the updater specifically for D610.
or #2 - Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and reinstall the system.

Inverted grayscale images placed in Indesign

I have customer files that were created in Indesign CS3 and CS4 with a placed, colored grayscale image on a colored background. The image is inverted but I cannot seem to replicate this. I know you can do this easily in Quark but how do you do this in Indesign? There is no invert effect.
Thanks,
Mike
PS how do you subscribe to a post for email notification?

That effect in Quirk was an accident... it tried to knock the placed image out of the background colour - 'dot for dot'! Printers' nightmare...
In InDesign (CS4) you use the direct/indirect selection tools to address the image or frame background. If you want a greyscale image on a coloured background you can set it to 'multiply', depending what type of image it is, you will need to decide whether to overprint at press is acceptable.
If it is not acceptable, then add your background colour in Photoshop rather than InDesign for ease of control, where you can mix the colours if it is a photo. If it is a solid shape then use a clipping path or alpha masking to knock out as required.

Automation in saving a image file with a specific max file size

Hi everyone,
I hope someone can help me by this.
Background info:
We got several image files every 2 weeks which should be edited and mainly reduced in size for web purpose. This work needs 1 work day for one man/woman to do, because he/she has to open the file save for web and then set the quality to a value were the file is nearly about 150-200 KB in size.
The images are different, some have few colors, some have a lot of colors and there are also different in resolution. But they should not be reduced in resolution, only in quality. All other specs of the image should be kept
Is there any possible script, plug-in or similar which can do the same (Saving with a specific max. file size) in some automatic and faster way?
Any help is really appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards
Packesel

Hi everyone,
I still need help with this. Is there any tool (OS X) or script for Photoshop who can fulfill this (see title).
ANY help is really appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Background image help

I haven't used fireworks in a long while, and I can't figure
out how to set an image as my background.
Any help out there would be appreciated.
Thanks
Acromedian

Ah. Sure...the term in Fireworks is texture. Search your
Fireworks help file for "texture." There should be an entry on
adding a custom texture. For CS3, the instructions are
quote:
Adding a custom texture
You can use bitmap files from Fireworks and other
applications as textures. You can apply textures from files with
these formats: PNG, GIF, JPEG, BMP, TIFF, and PICT (Macintosh
only).
When you add a new texture, its name appears in the Texture
Name pop-up menu.
To create a new texture from an external file:
1. With vector object properties displayed in the Property
inspector, select Other from either of the Texture Name pop-up
menus.
2. Navigate to the bitmap file you want to use as the new
texture, and click Open.
The new texture is added to the Texture Name list in
alphabetical order.
Help Resource Center
This
page on the Web
To get the menu, you need to have a vector object selected.
If you don't have one, just make a rectangle and go from there. You
won't be able to fill your canvas, you'll have to make a vector
rectangle the size of your canvas to fill, anyway.
Hope that helps! (Oh...the link goes to the same info, for
CS3. If you have a different version, you should be able to link
from there to the same info for your version.)

Automator: Render PDF as Images changes the filename.

I have a PDF named "Bamboo Cutting Board Sales Sheet.pdf" that contains one image.
When I run the PDF through the Automator action Render PDF As Images, the filename is saved and changed to "002ddf334.jpg.
How do I keep the original file name?

I see.
This worked when I tested on 1 PDF:
The Run Shell Script Action is:
basename=${1##*/}
echo ${basename%.*}
If it's still out of order, add: Sort Finder Items [by creation date] after Render PDF Pages as Images
