Cannot export file as .jpg if it has crop marks

Ok, so I'm trying to export a file to .jpg in Adobe Illustrator CS2 and it works until I put in Crop Marks. Once they are in, when it tries to save it, I get a message, "The file cannot be written due to an error". Does anyone have any ideas? I've tried multiple locations and there is plenty of room where I am trying to save it to.

Meankty,
In CS2 you should be using Crop Area, not Crop Marks.
What happens if you set the Artboard corresponding to the Crop Marks and then try exporting?

Lightroom 5 cannot export files in original Raw format (LR 5.4, Mac, OS 10.9.4).

A client has the following problem: When trying to export files in the original Raw format (.CR2), the operation failed and a dialog informs us that "Some export operations were not performed". We can export JPEGs just fine.
After lots of testing, this is what we discovered: The problem does not appear to be catalog-based; we run into the same problem using a test catalog. The export operation works fine, however, with the same test catalog and images on two other machines, and it even works fine on the same machine with a new user admin account that we created.
So it appears to be something associated with the user account, , or with how LR is interacting with the user account, but I cannot figure out what it might be. We can copy the Raw files when using the Finder to do so. But not via Lightroom. Any thoughts, ideas of suggestion would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Sean

As part of your testing make sure you've tried exporting JPGs from the same folder as the CR2s you're exporting as original, and export JPGs from CR2s to the same folder as you're exporting your originals. This would test LR's read and write permissions from and to the folders being used.
From this document you can see that all the LR files other than the program, are under the /Users folder with different values possible for each user, so the difference could be that the users that work are using the original LR defaults, if you have just started using LR with them after you started having this problem, or at least that the user with the problem has some oddball settings that are interfering with Export as Original.
Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5
You can test for the Preferences being off by either copying the preferences from a user that has the problem to a user that doesn't have the problem--probably through an external or common folder, or be deleting the preferences file from the user that has the problem and see if it resolves. Moving the preferences file or renaming it may be better than deleting it if no change is seen, then you can restore the preferences back by moving or renaming the file back to the original location and name.

EPS file placed within INDD art shows crop marks when exported to PDF

Hi Friends -
I have a INDD art file I'm working on, within which I placed an EPS image. Upon exporting the INDD art to PDF, the document has what appear to be crop marks surrounding the EPS image. This is not where the image should be cut, and these marks are being shown in a functional part of the design. Here is a screenshot of one corner of the EPS; the other 3 corners have identical marks:
Additional information:
- MS Windows 7 Enterprise SP1
- InDesign CS5.5 Version 7.5.3
- Marks are generated during export process/conversion to PDF; they are not visible in InDesign.
- EPS file does not create these crop marks when placed into another INDD file and exported using the same process as above.
- No other elements of the INDD file have similar marks displayed after export.
Any help with where I might find the setting in INDD to turn this OFF would be greatly appreciated!
D

That was probably the most expeditious reply I've ever received in a forum.
Anyhow, the crop marks are not part of the actual EPS image. Opening the EPS file in PS or AI reveals no stray crop marks so, unless the marks are somehow part of the EPS settings rather than a visible element of the image, I think it has something to do with INDD and its settings. To confirm, I did place this EPS in another INDD document and an export procedure utilizing the same steps does not reproduce the crop marks.

Exporting file to jpg

Can anyone help please. I have been trying to export my swf
to a jpg. The picture is going to be used for the background to my
site. The dimensions of the image are 1000px by 1 px. I get a
message that I can not export with anything less than 4px width.
Does anyone know a work around? (I don't have photoshop)
Thanks

Hmmm.. Since you dont have Photoshop, im sure you have MS
Paint, =)
open that up, and do some editing in there, maybe that will
let you save your 1px jpg...
Although I have no idea what you could be showing within
1px... =)

When exporting .psd files to jpg, the picture gets cropped

This happens on occasion. I cannot find any answers on how to fix this issue anywhere. Can someone help?

It doesn't always happen. If it does, closing the .psd and re-opening it will normally fix it temporarily.

Override Export File Name

Hi Everyone,
I have a question which I cannot see being asked in the forum yet.
I'd like to override the standard behaviour of exporting files to the target system by loading an once exported file again if the POV has not been validated since the last target data load. This is to speed up batch loading (we load 1500 POVs every night to Essbase). As such I need to overwrite the name of the export files as they are not unique and file names may be used more than one time for different POVs.
Is there any way to do this in an action script? I can see that strFile occurs as a parameter in the function calls for BefExportToDat, ActExport etc. I was not able to find an API function for this purpose yet and manipulating tPOVPartition.PartLastExpFile for the location was not doing the trick as this entry is overriden in the background after export.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Hauke

Wayne,
Thank you for your answer. You lead me into the right direction. Obviously, something was going horribly wrong when I tested the manipulated export script for the first time. This caused FDM to overwrite export files during batch and made me believe that the file names are not uniquely exported for all POVs.
For anyone interested, FDM is keeping the export filenames unique for all POVs as long as historical export data files exist in the Outbox folder. When you clear the Outbox folder, file names are reused in different POVs during export. You may query the last file which was exported for any POV in the tDataArchive table in FDM.
I am querying this table instead of tLogActivity now and move the file which was exported last for the respective POV and the filename has not been reused by another POV (due to clearing Outbox) afterwards to the filename which is created by FDM before exporting. This is speeding up the export batch to run in one fourth of the time compared to the original export behaviour as the database is not queried for all these files.
Best regards,
Hauke

Weird error: "Cannot write file summary in a read-only environment"

Disclaimer: We are using an old version of bdb - 3.2.76 but are not able to easily upgrade.
We see this occasionally in production. From looking at the code it looks like critical eviction is happening since more memory is used then the limit we set then eviction is happening but then failing since the env is read only. I'm just wondering how it got to this point. we set the max size (je.maxMemory) to 1572864 bytes.
This is not urgent but is adding noise to logs so any suggestions would be welcome...

Hi Nick,
It is strange to me also that this is happening in a read-only env. Looking at the code, we don't prevent this sort of eviction in the 3.2 release or later releases. Yet we've never seen this problem before.
This sort of eviction only happens when writing is occurring. Of course, in a read-only env there is no writing. The only way I can think of for this to occur in a read-only env is when there is a very large recovery interval -- the amount of log between the last checkpoint start and the end of the log. This can occur if you didn't close the env cleaning when you last wrote to it, or if the last checkpoint just happened to be very large.
So one thing you could try is to ensure that you have a small checkpoint when you write to the log, before opening it in read-only mode. To do this, just before you call Environment.close, call Environment.checkpoint(new CheckpointConfig().setForce(true)). This will do one checkpoint before closing the env, and then another during the close. The last checkpoint should be small.
If you can't do this, or it isn't sufficient, you could increase the je.cleaner.detailMaxMemoryPercentage env config property. This is the max amount of memory (% of total cache) used for the information that is being evicted. Since nothing can really be evicted in read-only mode, there is no harm in setting this to a much higher value than the default (2). I would try 10. This doesn't reserve or waste any memory, it just prevents this sort of eviction from occurring until a larger part of the cache is used. This is probably the simplest solution.
A third approach is to simply accept that this sort of eviction will be attempted, but try to prevent the exception. If you're willing to rebuild JE (and you're not a supported Oracle customer -- please contact us if you are), then you could simply replace the 'throws' statement with a 'return null' in src/com/sleepycat/je/cleaner/UtilizationProfile.java:
    private synchronized PackedOffsets putFileSummary(TrackedFileSummary tfs)
        throws DatabaseException {
        if (env.isReadOnly()) {
            throw new DatabaseException
                ("Cannot write file summary in a read-only environment");
        }--mark

Cannot export from Lightroom 5.6 to jpg, Internal error has occurred, attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value

Hi everybody,
I run Lightroom 5.6 on Windows 8.1. It's been a while since I exported anything and now I find that I cannot export to JPG.
I get an internal error, " attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value" .
I remember that I used to have this situation before (different error) with previous versions. Than it was usually the "perform after export" that was without value.
However it is set ti " Do nothing" .
I've searched the web and found nothing. Anyone got an idea what the cause could be?
Thanks
Bob

Hi there,
so I found something! I was wondering why the "publish on harddrive" process did work, but the export to harddrive not.
So I looked in the difference of the presettings and found only the different options "choose export folder" and "predefined export folder" (don't know the exact translations, as I use the german version, but I hope you find what I mean.)
So I changed in the export settings the export folder to a fix predefined folder and there you are, export is working again!
Don't know the relation to the GPS-data, but anyhow.
Hope this helps to solve the problem?
Don't know if MS windows did an update which causes the error, but I didn't changed anything in lightroom as it worked before without these settings.
And of course in the long rund I would like to go back to the "choose folder" option, as I know have to copy the images to the right folder after export which is not a smooth process..
regards
_ulf

Cannot export movie files from iPhoto 11 (9.5)

Hi. Am not able to export movies from iPhoto 11. I leave the type as Original and get an error - see screenshot. Running on Mavericks and up-to-date iPhoto. Have tried to export to multiple places so hard drive space, etc. isn't the problem. Can export 32,000+ photos just fine but all the movies are erroring out.
Any ideas, and thanks for the help.

Having the same problem.
Upgraded to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5, and now getting this, every single time.
Happens with both Original and Current exports. The failed files are all point to the Previews location. I checked the first few, which do exist, but are 0KB big. However their master file location is fine.
This ends up leaving 120GB out of my 170GB collection of 1533 photos/videos.
Incredibly frustrating! iPhoto is useless to me now, and I have no way to get my photos out of it.
Here's the exact feedback I sent apple:
I'm experiencing this issue:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5478191?tstart=0
Since upgrading to Mavericks and getting the latest iPhoto version. I cannot export my entire photo collection (using original, and current settings).
It always fails with about 120GB of my 170GB collection left. The missing files are videos that iPhoto is trying to copy over the preview location, rather than the master location it seems. The discussion thread has more information.

I am having trouble exporting InDesign CS6 files into JPGs or PNGs

I am not able to complete the export of an InDesign file into JPG or PNG, it has worked fine for me in all other versions except for this one, I keep trying, it takes me all the way to the output setup dialog box and it just doesn't do anything after that. I have looked into all the folders I have to see if by any chance it was saved in a different location but basically there's no trace of anything created.
Thanks

Cannot export to QuickTime file with PE8

Hello,
I have an issue when I want to export my video choosing My Computer, QuickTime. The e^port cannot start, APE8 stop immediatly after launching export (message : unxpected errors; PE8 must closed).
I already uninstall and reinstall Quicktime (last version), same pb. I also uninstall and reinstall PE8, with the update, same issue.
I do not know what to do.
I cannot have files MOV to export to Youtube (also the direct export to Youtube from PE8 is still not working, I have a serveur error, already dscribed by other members, but means to have no solution)
Eric

I'm sorry, Eric. I have no solution for you. If your computer is crashing whenever you select Share/Computer/Quicktime and your unable to install a program update, there may be a problem at the operating system level.
How fast is your processor, how much RAM do you have and how much free, clean, defragmented space is onyour C drive?
The best solution, assuming your computer is well tuned, would be to upgrade to version 11 of the program. Version 8 was notoriously buggy and does not work at all well with AVCHD video.
Video 11 edits AVCHD natively and has been optimized for this format. You may be able to find a good deal on the software on Amazon. It would certainly save you a lot of aggravation if you spent the few dollars on it.

Extremely large jpg exported files - help!

I was previously loving LR3 - used the trial for a month, decided to buy it - had really no problems. The big issue for me is now the jpg export file sizes that are being created. I run all my photos through the develop module to adjust the basics as well as draw in masks, and previously I had no trouble exporting the files as jpg, with the limit of size at 600kb and resized to 960x640 (original photos from 5Dmk2 RAW).
Then I bought the license. From then on it seems that now whenever I do the same exact export it doesn't work! I also used to use the output quality slider and set that at 100% and would get around the same file sizes, but now I'm getting files 2-3x the size of the previous exports. All of the photos have minimal metadata (10 keywords or so, that's it) and the same metadata was present in the exports in the trial version.
Playing around with more export parameters and reading around on this forum led me to try and minimize exif data - this didn't even work - files could not meet the requirements or they still ended up 2-3x the size they used to be.
The interesting part is that when I would delete all development history and set the file back to the original pre-edited RAW and export there would be no problems!
Could it be possible that LR is adding the development data into the metadata that it is attaching to the photo??
This has completely shut down my photo workflow and really is making me regret buying this otherwise wonderful tool.

This data results from heavy use of the local adjustment brush. Choosing "Minimize Embedded Metadata" upon export really should solve this problem for you. Please try again specifying this option.
But then, by doing so, you lose any other metadata (keywords etc.) also. To have complete control on what metadata gets written into the JPEG upon export, you could use Jeffrey’s “Metadata Wrangler” Lightroom Plugin.
I noticed one strange thing within the XMP data in your JPEG:
The data seems to be formatted differently than what I see with JPEGs I export ("HasExtendedXMP"), which I don't know where it comes from.
For further investigation, would it be possible for you to upload the Raw file and the XMP file belonging to it to somewhere (e.g. www.yousendit.com) and post a link to it here?

Error when Share to File "The share operation 'File' has failed. Cannot create file."

Upgraded to Mavericks and the new iMovie. Imported a video from iPhone 5 to edit, and then tried to Share File.
Error every time, it says that "The share operation 'File' has failed. Cannot create file." It does not give any error number that would help figuring out the problem.
Late 2011 MacBookPro with 8 GB and over 150 GB free on HD.
Imported several other videos from various sources, and always the same result when trying to Share to File.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I'm having the same problem with a 2012 Macbook Pro 15" Retina; iMovie version 10.0.3. I'm not sure why either. It was working fine until one day it quit exporting to file at all.
