Bulk convert to png and resize (pixelmator, graphic converter or other)?

hi all.
i have been looking at pixelmator and graphic converter as i have a need to both CONVERT IMAGES to png as well as to RESIZE and "RE-PIXELATE" them to some fixed pixel width. i have been finding Preview to be fantastic with the bulk resizing (you simply open all the images and then pulldown to resize, set the new size and then save). this requires that i move the resized images to a new folder so as to not over-write the original but it is extremely nice and /quick/.
unfortunately, converting these to png in Preview appears to require me to export each individually (and then i have to go back and delete the other file types with the same names as the new png's which i don't need).
i have been using Name Mangler which is super fantastic for bulk renaming and i am wondering if there is a methodology in either of these tools (or if there is a better tool for this) or if this would be better accomplished in something like Aperture. i /tend/ to keep information such as this residing in a FOLDER on my desktop because it is about to be uploaded to the web via ftp but if there was a great benefit to doing this in something like an Aperture database i could certainly move in that direction.
anyone have any specific explanation of specific steps i could take in aperture for this or in other software?
this seems like a reasonably common need (size to width, dpi and file type)...
TIA

Jon,
I think the export presets in Aperture can do what you want.
You just would have to define a custom export preset.
Assuming the images you want to convert have been imported to Aperture, select them in the Browser and select to export the versions (File > Export > Versions).
In the Export panel select a png export preset, then switch to "Edit"
In the "Edit" panel duplicate the png preset, then set the pixel size you want to use and export your images.

----.PNG and box around graphic issue

Hi,
I have a graphic/logo in a .png file. I scaled it down and I am working with it in Motion and applying some cool effects to it, but you can see the box around the graphic with certain effects.
Do you know what I mean? Is there anyway to seperate the logo from it and just have that?

If I understand what you're describing, select the Group containing your logo and in the Inspector, Set the "Type" to 2D and enable the "Fixed Resolution" checkbox.
Then apply the filter to that group.

Graphic Converter insisting on opening WMV files

I'm trying to access wmv files, but even after downloading the Windows Media Player and Stuffit, my Graphic Converter keeps trying to open the files, and it CAN'T!! I just keep getting boxes of codes appearing on my screen. Do I need to get rid of Graphic Converter or is there a better solution? Thank you, in advance, for any help you can offer.
Tara

I don't think you're quite on target.
Locate a .wmv movie file in the Finder. Select the file with the mouse and press COMMAND-I. That should open the Get Info window. Alternatively, use the Get Info menu selection in the Finder's File menu. Then locate the section labeled Open With. You may need to click on the little arrow on the side to open the section. Proceed as previously instructed.

Convert.ToByte and logical masks, from VB to LabVIEW

Hi guys,
I have to write a VI communicating via RS232 with a microcontroller for a PWM application. A colleague has given me the GUI he has developpd in VB and I would like to integrate it into my LabVIEW programme by converting the VB code into Labview code. Here's the code:
Private Sub LoadButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles loadButton.Click
        Dim bufLen As Integer = 12      // Buffer length
        Dim freq As Integer = 0      // frequency
        Dim pWidth As Integer = 0      // pulse width
        Dim dac As Integer = 0       // Value used in oscillator setting for generating pulse frequency
        Dim addr As Integer = 0      // Address of the pulse width in the pulse generator.
        Dim rTime As Integer = 0      // duration of machining/pulse train in ms.
        Dim returnValue As Byte = 0      // A variable for storing the value returned by the
//microcontroller after it receives some data
        Dim buffer(bufLen) As Byte       // creates an array of bytes with 12 cells => buffer size = 8 x12 = 96 bits
// can you explain a bit please I know you're converting the entered values into byte and put them one by one in a specific order. This order is how the
//microcontroller expects them
            addr = (Floor((pWidth - Tinh) / Tinc)) // Formula from hardware, calculates address setting for pulse generator to set pulse width.
            buffer(0) = Convert.ToByte(Floor(3.322 * (Log10(freq / 1039)))) // Caluclates OCT value for use in setting oscillator for pulse freq.
            dac = (Round(2048 - ((2078 * (2 ^ (10 + buffer(0)))) / freq))) // Calculates DAC value for use in setting oscillator for pulse freq.
            buffer(1) = Convert.ToByte((dac And &HF00) >> 8)                         //
// &H is the vb.net to tell it its hex code, F00 gives the top 4 bits from a 12 bit value.
            buffer(2) = Convert.ToByte(dac And &HFF) // For values that are larger than 256 (8bits) the value needs to be split across 2 bytes (16 bits) this gets the //bottom 8 bits. &H is the vb.net to tell it its Hex.
            buffer(3) = Convert.ToByte((addr And &HFF0000) >> 16) // This value may be so large it requires 3 bytes (24bits). This gets the top 8 bits.
            buffer(4) = Convert.ToByte((addr And &HFF00) >> 8) // This gets the middle 8 bits.
            buffer(5) = Convert.ToByte(addr And &HFF)// This gets the bottom 8 bits.
            buffer(6) = Convert.ToByte((rTime And &HFF0000) >> 16) //This value may also be 3 bytes long.
            buffer(7) = Convert.ToByte((rTime And &HFF00) >> 8)
            buffer(8) = Convert.ToByte(rTime And &HFF)
            buffer(9) = Convert.ToByte(2.56 * ocpBox.Value) // The ocp pulse period is formed of 256 steps or counts, so if a percentage is requested, this formula gives the number of steps/counts required to set the pulse width
            buffer(10) = Convert.ToByte(tempBox.Value)
            If (tempCheck.Checked = True) Then
                buffer(11) = 1
            Else
                buffer(11) = 0
            End If
            freq = ((2 ^ buffer(0)) * (2078 / (2 - (dac / 1024))))
            pWidth = Tinh + ((((Convert.ToInt32(buffer(3))) << 16) Or ((Convert.ToInt32(buffer(4))) << 8) Or (Convert.ToInt32(buffer(5)))) * Tinc)
            ' Connect to device
            serialPort1.Write(1) // Sends the number 1. This tells the microcontroller we are about to start sending data. It should respond with a zero if it is ready
//and the connection is good.
The line "serialPort1.Write(buffer, 0, bufLen)" sends the buffered data where the variables are: buffer = the buffered data; 0 = the position in the buffer to start from; bufLen = the position in the buffer to stop sending data.
What's the best way to deal with the Convert.ToBytes and the logical masks And ??
Thanks in advance for your time and consideration,

How can I convert many .png's to graphic symbols at once in Flash CS6?

So, just as the subject says, how do I convert a ton (like over 2,000) .pngs quickly and easily to graphic symbols?
I really dont want to have to drag each one to the stage, hit f8, and name it, for each one.
I understand that, back in the CS3 days (im using CS6), it would autonatically generate them when you imported them to the library, is there a setting that I can turn on to have this happen?
Thank you for your time,
Obsidn

Select the directory with your pngs in it.
Right-click>Browse with Adobe Bridge
Select your pngs
Tools>Photoshop>Load to photoshop layers (not sure how many layers this can handle--you may wind up having to do this in batches)
Save your new psd
In Flash, create a new symbol with a blank timeline
Ctrl-R, navigate to the psd you made earlier
Select all the Photoshop layers
Check "create MovieClips for these layers."
Convert layers to keyframes or flash layers (not important, since you probaby don't need to keep this symbol)
OK
You'll have Movie Clips, not Graphic Symbols, but maybe you can write or find a JSFL to convert them and then you can block select them, click the Properties button, and change the type from MovieClip to Graphc.

Batch Image convert and resize

Convert a Tiff Image to png and show

Hello;
I wanto to convert a Tif image to png and show this in my web page but i dont want to save the png iamge in my server.
Actualy i do that:
byte[] bytes = imagenData;
                ByteArraySeekableStream tiffStrm = new ByteArraySeekableStream(bytes);
                String[] CdcNms = ImageCodec.getDecoderNames(tiffStrm);
                ImageDecoder tifDecoder = ImageCodec.createImageDecoder(CdcNms[0], tiffStrm, new TIFFDecodeParam());
//                 Check the number of pages
                int IFDs = tifDecoder.getNumPages();
//                 Get the first page
                RenderedImage ren = tifDecoder.decodeAsRenderedImage(1);
                byte[] bytes2 = doSingleConversion(ren);AND
protected byte[] doSingleConversion(RenderedImage tifImage) throws Exception
          byte[] bytes = null;
          String out = "temp.png";
          try {
               //      Create the PNG file
               PNGEncodeParam pngParm = PNGEncodeParam.getDefaultEncodeParam(tifImage);
               JAI.create("filestore", tifImage, out, "PNG", pngParm);
               //Read the file into a byte array
               File f = new File(out);
               FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(f);
               bytes = new byte[(int) f.length()];
               in.read(bytes);
               in.close();
               return bytes;
          catch(Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace ();
               throw(e);
     }But this code save de image in the server; it�s posible do it without save.

Numbers the iWorks program? Not sure you can convert it to that or just a list of numbers. Never heard of anyone that would even want to convert an Image file, Photo, to any other format. Other then another image format like JPG, PNG or a PSD Photoshop file.

Graphic Converter and Leopard

Since I installed Leopard on my iMac Aluminum 24" , Graphic Converter is unable to save anything, showing an "error code -43".
I've already contacted Lemke Software and they can't find anything wrong, I even emailed them the .plist (which I've trashed several times).
I know that this may not be the appropriate forum to post this question, but I'm hoping that somebody had the same problem and came out with a solution.
If I boot as an other account, the problem disappears........
What I've done so far:
a) Verify the disk > OK
b) Repair permissions > OK
c) Reinstall Leopard > Archive and Install
d) Reinstall Graphic Converter
All the available updates are done as of today.
Any help is really welcome.
Regards
Pedro

I've the latest version 6.0.1, but yesterday, after posting this message I did a cleanup of some old apps that were while using Tiger, and fortunately, the problem is gone.
On the other hand, I don't know which one was causing the problem since I trashed a few apps at the same time.
It was a conflict with some app, that didn't show up in Tiger.

RESIZE option in LR4's Convert to DNG and DNG Converter 7

Besides the option for lossy compression I would love to see the Resize option from LR4 Beta's Export dialog in DNG Converter 7 as well as in LR4's "Library>Convert to DNG" function.
In the wake of cameras like the Nikon D800 and others with huge image files and easy option to convert to smaller sized DNGs would be very helpful.

Mark Alan Thomas wrote:
Right. I'm not into the whole lossy compression thing. I like the idea of making smaller raw files, but I want the megapixels which remain to be good megapixels.
Now I get what you mean. Apologies.
That would be interesting and of course I absolutely second it: DNG with variable resolution but lossless compressed!
That would be a great option. So why not just offer both independently - resolution and compression?
Just don't disable the "Resize to fit" switch when "Use Lossy Compression" is off.
I understand the perils with this and I also understand that it's kind of counterproductive to the thought of a RAW/DNG file. But in the end, isn't it about flexibility and not purity of a system? Bring on some big fat warnings that make it clear to the user: "you are now leaving the path of a non-destructive file format!" But let the user decide.
For more safety you could even add the need to unlock this functionality in the Preferences.
Side note:
There have been plenty of high-res DSLRs so far, Nikon D3X, Canon 5D MkII, 1Ds MkIII, Sony SLT-A77, SLT-A55, NEX-7, Alpha A-850 Alpha A-900 - but none of them seems to have stirred up the discussion about need and sanity of high megapixel DSLRs like the D800 now does.
It's probably because it's the highest so far and Nikon offers no lower resolution RAW as Canon does. What most seem to agree on however is that the high megapixel count can be nice for many and provides flexibility, but it can also be a burden at the same time.
No idea why Nikon don't offer sRAW like Canon do. But considering all this, a flexible option for smaller DNGs with individually settable compression and/or Resize would be a tremendous accomplishment!

Converting a PNG image to an array of bytes and vice versa..

hi all,
i need to convert a PNG image to an array of bytes ,then converting back this array of bytes to The PNG image again ,i read this can be done using output streams but i feel like a dump and i can't fix the whole thingy out ! ,can anybody help me in this ,by explaining how can this be established????

Print images in PNG and BMP formats

I have converted images from xwd to bmp by using JAI. now I want to print them.
How can I print PNG and BMP Files? How can I read images in different formats and make them print.
Please help me !

JAI follows the Java 2D printing model. All you need to do is to read your PNG, BMP images as RenderedImage, Renderable, or BufferedImage objects. To print an image, draw the image object on the printer's graphics context using one of drawImage(), drawRenderedImage(), and drawRenderableImage() methods of the Graphics2D class.
I have some sample code at http://www.geocities.com/larryhr/samplecode/samplecode.html. See the Printing section. JAIImagePrint.java should give you some indication as to how to print images read by the JAI codec.

Save as png and not psd setting?

hi all,
i am a long time user but have not spent enough consistent time to avoid some very bad habits. i thought i would take some time to see if i can fix some of these. apologies for the multiple posts today.
anyway, i am sometimes in a situation where i need to save images as png at a certain size or something for a website (or just because i like to save out as png) and in many cases i am not using any optimizations in psd files.
is there a way to have photoshop default to Save As png?
right now i think i have to do a pulldown every time i want a png and when i am trying to do some kind of "batch processing" i am getting a bit of carpal tunnel with all my clickthroughs.
also, any tips on where to read up on optimizations or built in batch functionality in photoshop would be great. i have been using Preview for the mac and some of the functionality there (convert all to png, resize all to XX etc, etc) is really, really great.
TIA

Ifanview will let you batch convert to PNG. I've not actually used it in that respect, so can't say what options you get, but it usually does a stand out job of everything, and it's free. Windows only AFAICT

Ack. did i move something accidentally in GRAPHIC CONVERTER

argh.
i think i might have done something really dumb by accidentally moving a portion of my APPLICATIONS folder while working in Graphic Converter. is this possible?
the screenshot at the bottom shows an Applications folder with data in it that is supposed to just be full or images and the GC screenshot seems to show the Applications folder in here as well.
can anyone decipher this for me? i think my testing in this app has got to stop and i have to move to something else...

THANKS

Thank you for the reply. Its good to know i am not the only person seeing this. I did confirm your observation. I have both PSCS5 and PSCS5.1 installed. PS CS5.1 is automatically made the default editor and i have linked CS5 in as the custom alternate. When choosing to edit in the custom alternate the "edit in" dialogue appears-- when using the Default CS5.1-- no dialogue appears.
EDIT: With A little more research I did find out that everything is working as it should-- The Default Editor is not meant to show the "edit in" dialogue and will always apply whatever lightroom adjustments you have made (flattening the image to whatever format you choose in the preferences) -- you can however have full camera raw editability by choosing "open as a smart object" which will allow you to open up the RAW format within Camera Raw from Photoshop.
You can also have the "default" editor also saved as a custom external editor -- saving it as a preset-- and selecting the preset -- which will bring up the "edit in" dialogue.

Color issues w/ .png and .gif files in CS5.5 Live view

Hi All,
I am having a bunch of trouble with my .png and .gif image files in Dreamweaver CS5.5. In Dreamweaver's design view everything looks fine but when I preview my pages in Live View or in a browser the colors in my .png and .gif files are way off. All my images are designed in RGB.
Any info anyone has to offer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

GIFS contain a maximum of 216 colors (web safe palette)
PNG and JPG can contain 16 million colors (true color palette),
When you say the colors are "way off" we don't know what you mean.
Can you post a link to your web page?
