Cancel auto-load of images?

My dear wife has assigned me to stop her Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 from automatically opening and displaying images from a device (jump drive, SD card) when inserted/connected to the PC. I've looked around in Preferences, but I cannot find a checkbox for "Automatically search new devices for images" (or whatever). She didn't like my other solution (Go to "Add/Remove Programs" ...). Please be a part of saving my marriage. Thanks.

I can't promise to save your marriage, but I might be able to buy you a little more time.
Find the photo downloader icon (looks like a little camera) and click on it to see a menu; you can select 'Disable', and that will stop it until you restart the system.
To permanently stop it (without uninstalling the app), do the following:
1. go to the start menu, and select the RUN command
2. type in 'msconfig'
3. click on the Startup tab
4. Find 'apdproxy' in the list, and uncheck it.
The next time you restart your computer, you'll see a message that you're in startup troubleshooting mode. Click 'don't show again' and continue; that will prevent that little loader from launching every time you start up.
Good luck!

Auto loading of images in Safari

Can you turn off auto loading of images? I'm getting killed by EDGE charges :P
Alternatively, can anyone recomend another browser for iPhone that is more configurable?

Can you turn off auto loading of images? I'm getting killed by EDGE charges :P
No since the iPhone is intended to have an unlimited data plan with the providers Apple has agreements with.
Alternatively, can anyone recomend another browser for iPhone that is more configurable?
Best of luck finding another browser that includes a compatible version for the iPhone - I'm fairly certain none exist. Apple is providing an iPhone SDK in February for 3rd party software development but reportedly this will be provided to select software developers only or that meet whatever criteria is set forth.

Not able to use google maps! I've checked add-on, auto loading of images, checked for exceptions and it still "only" says "still loading..."! What's the deal...Would love to use this app to reseach "things to do" for my upcoming vacation! Help. Thx

I think I've covered this from the question I asked!

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Create a poster template for images to auto load into?

I would like to create a master template, a series of grids then set it as a master that would auto load selected images into place holders, is this possible in Photoshop CS5?

Thanks for the help! Iv looked into it deeper and it seems it is best served to a page layout program such as I
nDesign as the processes can be automated much easier. Thanks again guys!

Safari 7.1 won't load large images on MacBook Air. Turning off Auto Graphics is not an option.

When I try to load a large image with Safari 7.1, I get a black box instead of an image.
Chrome and Firefox load the image just fine.
This is a known problem and others have resolved it by turning off Auto Graphics Switching.
However, my version of MacBook does not have the capability to turn off Auto Graphics Switching under the Energy Saver preferences. (I guess I have the GPU or chip or whatever that doesn't provide that option.)
Are there any workarounds?
Here are two threads about the same problem, but the solutions don't work for me:
safari 7 won´t load large images...
Safari 7.0.1 does not load large images

Safari > Preference > Advanced
Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
"Develop" menu will appear in the Safari menu bar
Enable Images.
Make sure that"Disable Images" is not enabled.
Best.

Can you auto-load images in junk mail?

Am I wrong in thinking that once you could make a choice to load images automatically when opening junk mail? Can you now?

No, there is not. It wouldn't be reliable or useful. If Mail filters it as junk, presumably you won't be opening it, and thus loading the images, anyway. On the other hand, if it fails to recognize one message as spam and you open it, you'll load the images and become a "marked man." (ie, your address will be tagged as one where the spam is opened)

Safari 7.0.1 does not load large images

When I use safari and try to load an image with a resolution above, say, 2000x2000, I get a black box, sometimes with a grey area in the corner. The correct image displays for a brief moment, about a half second, but not enough for my viewing pleasure. This usually happens when I click imgur links on reddit, such as this one. I just searched a very large image on google, and was able to load it no problem. I've tried turning off all extensions, but even with no extensions the images do not load. Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you!

Turning auto graphics off solved the issue for me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxSlQ-GNbik
Seems like Safari won´t render large images when you are using integrated grapchis.

Loading multiple images in IE...

Hi,
I encountered a very strange problem (probably bug) while
loading multiple images from IE. Flash is very simple (code is
stripped version of match larger program) it contains simple for
loop that loads image 20 times, and COMPLETE handler that position
image.
Running application from Flash IDE is ok, but if user run
flash embeded into html from IE (IDE auto generated html) and
interrupt loading (closes IE tab (not whole IE, just tab)) next
load of same html stop working. What is event more strange, is that
image url entered in addres field of IE will not work?!?!
To conclude, to reproduce this behavior: run html from IE and
close tab in middle of loading process (after few images loaded).
Running html again will not work (or typing image url into
address). NOTE that tab must be closed (not whole IE). Closing IE
and running html again will work normaly.
Is there any idea how to correct this? Note that I used
different image links, and any of them have same behavior, so i
excluded url as error.
P.S. I use IE 7 under the Vista, but IE 7 with XP also have
same behavior.
Thanks

If you mean that image service have simultaneous download
limit, it does not. We have number of tile-generating services, and
also prerendered images, and on every system we have same issue.
Also, any flash-based map that load tiles are prone for this
error (e.g. yahoo maps, flashearth even google flash maps).
P.S. On Firefox it works ok.

How to load mutiple image

I'm trying to create a photo manager but I can't find a way to load multiple images onto my frame. I have a thumbnail class that makes thumbnails for an image (which is a modified version of the class ImageHolder from FilthyRichClient)
public class Thumbnails {
     private List<BufferedImage> scaledImages = new ArrayList<BufferedImage>();
private static final int AVG_SIZE = 160;
* Given any image, this constructor creates and stores down-scaled
* versions of this image down to some MIN_SIZE
public Thumbnails(File imageFile) throws IOException{
          // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
     BufferedImage originalImage = ImageIO.read(imageFile);
int imageW = originalImage.getWidth();
int imageH = originalImage.getHeight();
boolean firstScale = true;
scaledImages.add(originalImage);
while (imageW >= AVG_SIZE && imageH >= AVG_SIZE) {
     if(firstScale && (imageW > 320 || imageH > 320)) {
          float factor = (float) imageW / imageH;
          if(factor > 0) {
          imageW = 320;
          imageH = (int) (factor * imageW);
          else {
               imageH = 320;
               imageW = (int) (factor * imageH);
     else {
          imageW >>= 1;
     imageH >>= 1;
BufferedImage scaledImage = new BufferedImage(imageW, imageH,
originalImage.getType());
Graphics2D g2d = scaledImage.createGraphics();
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION,
RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR);
g2d.drawImage(originalImage, 0, 0, imageW, imageH, null);
g2d.dispose();
scaledImages.add(scaledImage);
* This method returns an image with the specified width. It finds
* the pre-scaled size with the closest/larger width and scales
* down from it, to provide a fast and high-quality scaled version
* at the requested size.
BufferedImage getImage(int width) {
for (BufferedImage scaledImage : scaledImages) {
int scaledW = scaledImage.getWidth();
// This is the one to scale from if:
// - the requested size is larger than this size
// - the requested size is between this size and
// the next size down
// - this is the smallest (last) size
if (scaledW < width || ((scaledW >> 1) < width) ||
(scaledW >> 1) < (AVG_SIZE >> 1)) {
if (scaledW != width) {
// Create new version scaled to this width
// Set the width at this width, scale the
// height proportional to the image width
float scaleFactor = (float)width / scaledW;
int scaledH = (int)(scaledImage.getHeight() *
scaleFactor + .5f);
BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(width,
scaledH, scaledImage.getType());
Graphics2D g2d = image.createGraphics();
g2d.setRenderingHint(
RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION,
RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR);
g2d.drawImage(scaledImage, 0, 0,
width, scaledH, null);
g2d.dispose();
scaledImage = image;
return scaledImage;
// shouldn't get here
return null;
A loop will loop through a collection of files and pass them to the constructor of Thumbnails to create thumbnails and then set them as icon for JLabels that will be added to a JPanel, but it throws a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError at this line:
BufferedImage originalImage = ImageIO.read(imageFile);
even when there're only about 8 image files in the collection (total size 2,51MB).
I've seen other people's software that could load hundreds of photos in a matter of seconds! How do I suppose to do that? How to load mutiple images efficiently? Please help!! Thanks a lot!

Thanks everybody! I appreciate your help! I don't understand why but when I use a separate thread to do the job, that problem disappear. You were likely doing your image loading and thumnail creation on the Event Dispatching Thread. Among other things, this is the same thread that updates and paints your panels, frames, buttons, ect.. When a programer does something computationaly expensive on the event dispatching thread then the GUI becomes unresponsive until the computation is done.
Ideally what you want to do is load images and create thumnails on a seperate thread and update your GUI on the event dispatching thread. I supect that while you are finally doing the first item, you might now be violating the second item.
Whatever, the program seems to be pretty slow on start up 'cause it have to reload images everytime. I'm using Picasa and it can display those thumbnails almost instantly. I know that program is made by professionals. But I still want to know how.I took a look at this Picasa you mentioned. It's the photo manager from google right? You're right in that the thumnails display instantly when starting up. This is because Picasa is actually saving the thumnails, instead of creating them everytime the program starts up. It only creates the thumnails once (when you import a picture) and saves the thumnail data to " +*currentUser*+ /AppData/Local/Google/Picasa2/db3/" (at least on my computer --> Vista).
Also, if your looking for speed then for some inexplicable reason java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(...); is faster (sometimes much faster) than ImageIO.read(...). But there comes a price in dealing with Toolkit images. A toolkit image isn't ready for anything until it has been properly 'loaded' using one of several methods. Also, when you're done and ready for the image to be garbage collected then you need to call Image.flush() or you will eventually find yourself with an out of memory error (BufferedImages don't have this problem). Lastly, Toolkit.createImage(...) can only read image files that the older versions of java supported (jpg, png, gif, bmp) .
And, another question (or maybe I should post it in a different thread?), I can't display all thumbnails using a JPanel because it has a constant height unless I explicitly set it with setPreferredSize. Even when put in a JScrollPane, the height doesn't change so the scrollbar doesn't appear. Anyone know how to auto grow or shrink a JPanel vertically? Or I have to calculate the preferred height by myself?Are you drawing the thumnails directly on the JPanel? If so then you will indeed need to dynamically set the preferred size of the component.
If not, then presumebly your wrapping the thumnails in something like a JLabel or JButton and adding that to the panel. If so, what is the layout manager you're using for the panel?

Error While loading a image from database

Purpose
Error While loading the Image from the database

Requirement:
I am developing the web pages using PSP(Pl/sql Serverpages) . I have a requirement to show a image in the webpage. I got the following procedures from the oracle website.
I have created the following table to store the images
create table DEMO
ID INTEGER not null,
THEBLOB BLOB
And I also uploaded the Images. Now I am try to get a image from the table using the following procedure .But I am getting the error message line 25( htp.prn( utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2( l_raw ) );) .at it throws the following error messages

What I have to do to correct this problem. This demo procedure and table that I am downloaded from oracle. Some where I made a mistake. any help??
Thanks,
Nats

Hi Satish,
I have set the raw value as 3600 but still its gives the same error only. When I debug the procedure its throwing the error stack in
SYS.htp.prn procedure of the following line of code
if (rows_in < pack_after) then
while ((len - loc) >= HTBUF_LEN)
loop
rows_in := rows_in + 1;
htbuf(rows_in) := substr(cbuf, loc + 1, HTBUF_LEN);
loc := loc + HTBUF_LEN;
end loop;
if (loc < len)
then
rows_in := rows_in + 1;
htbuf(rows_in) := substr(cbuf, loc + 1);
end if;
return;
end if;
Its a system procedure. I don't no how to proceed .. I am really stucked on this....is their any other method to take picture from the database and displayed in the web page.....???? any idea..../suggesstion??
Thanks for your help!!!.

How do I run a simple script that loads an image into photoshop CS - CS4?

Hello,
I am at a loss on how to get my simple application to work. I have a small desktop air application that simply opens Photoshop and runs an action. I used switchboard and the application ran great on PC and MAC. However it only worked for CS3, and CS4 not CS or CS2?. Plus the size of switchboard was a bit large for my small app. I am willing to live with that though . I am using Air with Flex and wanted to know if perhaps there is a beter approach? All the application does is open photoshop, loads an image, and runs an action. Can I do this for all versions of Photoshop using switchboard? Can I do this without switchboard and just use javascript. The big issue is the Air app needs to open Photoshop, and most of the examples have me open PS first and then execute a script located in the PS directory. This needs to work outside of the PS directory. Any examples are appreciated.
I have looked at the following:
- SwitchBoard : only works for CS3-CS4 (on my tests)
- PatchPanel: same issue, plus seperate SDKs
- ExtendScript: requires script to be run from PS not Air

Using ImageIcon load an image

Hi I'm having a lot of trouble getting the below code to work. Its copied out of my textbook and its supposed to load an image using the getImage method in the ImageIcon class. The strange thing is I have gotten this to work before, but after I installed Windows 2000 the image doesn't seem to load right anymore.
getWidth and getHeight - on the image afterwards returns -1.
Could this be windows 2000's problem? I'm pretty sure it isn't .. but when you run out of ideas, it feels good to put the blame on something other than yourself.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.net.*;
public class DisplayImage extends JApplet
public void init()
ImageIcon icon = null;
try
icon = new ImageIcon(new URL(getCodeBase(), "Images/backTile.bmp"));
catch(MalformedURLException e)
System.out.println("Failed to create URL:\n"+e);
return;
int imageWidth = icon.getIconWidth();
int imageHeight = icon.getIconHeight();
resize(imageWidth, imageHeight);
ImagePanel imagePanel = new ImagePanel(icon.getImage());
getContentPane().add(imagePanel);
class ImagePanel extends JPanel
public ImagePanel(Image image)
this.image = image;
public void paint(Graphics g)
g.drawImage(image,0,0,this);
Image image;
Again thx a lot. I know its a lot of code to read. Any help at all would be much appreciated.

".bmp" ? Windows bitmap isn't a supported file type, you should save your image as .gif, .png, or as .jpg.

Unable to Load the images Required by Classroom in a Book

Just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 12. I am trying the follow the lessons in the above book. When I create the files and download the images, I am unable the import the files and images into the Photoshop Organizer. Some images will import but most just display a weird icon. I have reloaded, updated Windows, Photoshop, display drivers, you name it. Nothing works.
Using Windows 7 with 8 GBs of 64 bit memory.
I like the book, and feel it will be a great introduction to Photoshop. But if I can't load the images into the Photoshop 12 Organizer. I can't follow or use the book
Lou (tobytussah)

Lou again.
As a follow up. I am also unable to reliability load any Images into the Organizer either by using the Organizer File find functions or totally unable to move images into the Organizer using the Windows Explorer.
Should the ask for help better belong in some other forum?

How do I stop last web pages from auto loading in Safari?

I find the feature of Lion that auto-loads previous web pages (and previous open applications) annoying. I want to stop this function. I see the checked box that asks if I want to re-open applications when logging out but I want the default to be to NOT re-open the apps. I equally dislike the auto-opening of previous web pages in Safari. I know that I can clear my history but what I want is for my homepage to open when I run Safari and not the last page viewed. Any solutions?
Found this for Safari in the forums...
Go to terminal and type in the following:
defaults write com.apple.Safari ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES
If you decide that you rather have the new resume behavior, execute the above commands but change YES to NO.
You can also do the same for Preview:
defaults write com.apple.Preview ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES

iDrifter: The full command is:
defaults write com.apple.Preview ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES
I was having the same problem and this is what I did:
1) Closed Safari
2) Changed the setting (mentioned) above in System Preferences
3) Enter the "defaults write ..." command into Terminal.
Now whever I launch Safari it does not load any pages.
HTH,

Unable to load TIF images into Photoshop.

CS4 (11.0.2) and Windows 7 Home Edition.
Have developed a problem trying to load some TIF images into Photoshop. I have a large number of images archived over a decade or more. At this point it may some of the older files that exhibit the problem. Now all these files were edited and stored using the Photoshop versions during the complete time period. The files are always saved with no compression. Have tried to load from Photoshop and clicking on the file in a file list. Photoshop just hangs and I get the message Program not responding. I can take these same files and load them into the ROXIO photo editor with no problem. Stranger yet is if I simply load the file into the ROXIO editor then "save as" back into the same folder (overwrite) the file can then be brought into Photoshop with no problem! Any ideas?

Noel,
Will try to keep short.
I reinstalled Photoshop CS4 from the cd CS set. Did not uninstall first. Restarted PC and Photoshop. Still failed the same way with a 3001 image.
Did the following, changing one item in the Edit->Preference->GPU Setting. After each change, closed Photoshop, reopened, brought in 3001 image, restored original setting. 3001 failed each time.
* Unchecked Enable OpenGL Drawing
* Advanced setup: Unchecked Advanced Drawing.
* Advanced setup: Unchecked Color Matching
Next went to the Edit->Color Profile.
Scanned thru options and saw in the Convert Options: Engine. It was set to Adobe (ACE). ACE was the module name in the error detail!
Only other option for this is Microsoft ICM. Changed to that, close/open Photoshop and 3001 came in no problem. So did the Nikon 3000, srgb IEC 61922 2.1 and Untagged. However, when briging in an Adobe RGB(1998) image Photoshop notes Profile Mismatch. It allows me to decide what to do (use embedded profile instead of workspace; convert color to work space color; discard embedded profile. and I choose use the convert color and it loads ok. At least it loads the image! Will use this approach for now. I need to get educated on color profiles!!
