Capture an image using the web camera from a web application

Hi All,
Could anyone please share the steps what have to be followed for capture an image using the web camera from a web application.
I have a similar requirement like this,
1) Detect the Webcam on the users machine from the web application.(To be more clear when the user clicks on 'Add Photo' tool from the web application)
2) When the user confirms to save, save the Image in users machine at some temporary location with some unique file name.
3) Upload the Image to the server from the temporary location.
Please share the details like, what can be used and how it can be used etc...
Thanks,
Suman

1) Detect the Webcam on the users machine from the web application.(To be more clear when the user clicks on 'Add Photo' tool from the web application)There's not really any good way to do this with JMF. You'd have to somehow create a JMF web-start application that will install the native JMF binaries, and then kick off the capture device scanning code from the application, and then scan through the list of devices found to get the MediaLocator of the web cam.
2) When the user confirms to save, save the Image in users machine at some temporary location with some unique file name.You'd probably be displaying a "preview" window and then you'd just want to capture the image. There are a handful of ways you could capture the image, but it really depends on your situation.
3) Upload the Image to the server from the temporary location.You can find out how to do this on google.
All things told, this application is probably more suited to be a FMJ (Freedom for Media in Java) application than a JMF application. JMF relies on native code to capture from the web cams, whereas FMJ does not.
Alternately, you might want to look into Adobe Flex for this particular application.

hello, my eyesight issue happens occasionally, from time to time i run multiple apps that use the isight camera. when i close each app the isight camera's green light is still active. When that happens the only way to stop the isight camera is to reboot.
Is there a way to use activity monitor to identify and kill the process controlling the isight? My apologies in advance if this sounds windows (task manager) like.
Thanks

http://support.apple.

(Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

I cannot use the right colors for a web image.

I cannot use the right colors for a web image. Photoshop CC keeps replacing colors because my colors are "out of color space for print" or something like that (I hope I translated it right - I work with PS Dutch version and this forum is only in English).
I am not interested in printing at all. I do not want any adaption for printing! I only want the right color on screen for a web image.
I changed the color settings many times, I created my image all over again, but Photoshop keeps replacing my vivid red by pale pink because of print colors.
Thanks for your help.

Use SRGB color space. and in the color picker when you see the warning don't click on the warning to have it fix the issue. As that will change the color you want want to use.

In capture, i can control the dvd camera, but i can't see the image,...

Hi,
I posted the same issue.
I upgraded FCE 3 to FCE 3.5 on Mac 10.4.6
At first I had nothing: every attempt at capturing resulted in shutting down of FCE.
After upgrading to QT 7.1.1 I now have device control but the capture proces is aborted as there seems to be "no video" (miniDV deck)
Everything is normal with iMovie 6

Organizer 12 - how to zoom over 100%, compare images, use the Magic Trackpad?

English Version below.
Hallo zusammen. Ich bin von Apple Aperture auf PSE 12 gewechselt. Nun habe ich meine 11500 Fotos im Organizer und ein paar Startschwierigkeiten.
Ich habe in den Voreinstellungen angegeben, dass man Fotos auf über 100% skalieren darf. Das funktioniert aber nicht. Fotos werden immer nur im Fenster eingepasst, wenn der Zoomhebel ganz nach rechts steht.
Einzig in der Vollbildansicht kann man über 100% skalieren. Dies funktioniert aber auch, wenn ich die Voreinstellung dazu nicht gesetzt habe.
ie vergleiche ich mehrere Bilder? Im Handbuch steht beschrieben, dass man dazu aus dem Menü Ansicht -> Bilder Vergleichen wählen soll. Diesen Menüpunkt gibt es bei mir nicht.
Auch bei dem Druck auf F12 geschieht bei mir nichts. Kann ich die Tastenfunktionen irgendwo neu zuweisen?
Zu guter Letzt: kann ich die Zoom & Pinch Funktion des Magic Trackpads irgendwie einschalten? Das vermisse ich sehr. Da war Aperture sehr Bedienerfreundlich.

Hi there. I switched from Apple Aperture to PSE 12. Now I have my 11500 photos in the Organizer and a few teething problems.
I have specified in the preferences that you can resize photos to over 100%. This does not work. Photos are always fitted only in the window when the zoom lever is all the way to the right.
Only in the full-screen view you can scale over 100%. However, this also works if I have not set the setting in the preferences.
How do I compare multiple images? The manual describes to select from the View menu -> Compare images. This menu item does not exist for me. (German Version)
Also by pressing F12, nothing happens. Can I re-assign the button functions somewhere?
Last but not least: How can I use the zoom & pinch from the Magic Trackpad? I 'm missing that very much. Aperture was very user friendly with that.

Hello Barbara and thank you for your answer.
I've ment side by side view. And it works by pressing F12 + cmd. Thanks.
Zoom & Pinch only works in the Editor, but not very well or smooth. And I couldn't tell you how often the Editior rotate my images unwanted ...
In the preferences of the Organizer, there is no point for a scroll wheel. And I'm really not able to zoom in the organizer over the "fitts in screen" size.
And I've found some more problems Sometime I'd like to export my images without any Exif/Metadata Information and resized. I haven't found any point do do so.
At the Moment, I'm thinking about switching back to Aperture, where I came from - I've tried to use PSE 'cause of Adobes Raw Converter, which is much much better with Olympus RAW Files than Apertures.

How do i use my FaceTime camera as a web cam?

I am trying to figure out how to use the facetime camera on my macbook pro as a web cam with non apple users. Please help.

If you are trying to use Flash based web sites that you open in your browser, there is no difference in operation regardless of whether your webcam is being viewed by a PC or by another Mac user. However, if you are having problems with Flash sites, verify that your Flash plug-in is the latest one that is compatible with your system.
• You can find the latest Flash version that works with your OS X 10.7.3 using this page:
      http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
If you need to update, use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions. Then follow Adobe's instructions here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/908/cpsid_90893.html
Be sure to uninstall your current Flash player before installing the new one.
Repair permissions again immediately following installation of the updated Flash player.
• Be aware that the current Flash Player Preferences can be configured in your
     Lion Mac's  > System Preferences... These settings may be blocking Flash on a system-wide basis.
• Individual Flash settings are still configured in the same way as older versions:

I don't have a wireless printer, and want to print things off of my iPad. I know that I can use the iPad Camera Connection kit to connect USB devices like keyboards and I am wondering if I could do the same with a USB printer.

I don't think you can connect a printer since you won't have the printer drivers. I use FingerPrint from collobos.com to print to my non-AirPrint printers.

Using the Hard Drive from my old iMac

I have just purchased a new 2.8 Intel core 2 duo iMac and was wondering if I could somehow use the hard drive from my old iMac.
What I have done is buy a case for the hard drive from my old iMac thus making it an external. The question that I have is that since it [the old hard drive] is running OS 10.4 will my new Intel iMac even recognize it.
I would like to somehow switch ALL my vast iTunes library from the old hard drive to my new Intel iMac without have to resort to making as many as 15 data disk. If such a thing is possible how do I go about doing so?
Another thing that I would like to do once my iTunes library is on my new Intel iMac is use the old hard drive [since it is 500GBs] as the platform for all my games and my publishing interest. Doing so would allow me to free up space that I could more readily use for other interest on the 350GB hard drive that my new iMac came with.
HOW do I go about wiping the old hard drive clean so that I can use it thus?
Thank you all for any and all help and insight that you might give me.

You might also consider connecting the two computers into a network, and then transferring the files you need, or even keep both computers online and use network sharing to access files from both computers.
In reference to your question, if you extract the hard drive from your old Mac and put it in an external case, your new Mac will read it no prob. (10.4 is compatible with 10.5). The hard drive can be formatted (wiped clean) using Disk Utility application (click Application, Utilities).
In terms of importing files from old to the new Mac, you might consider using using the automated OS X feature to transfer user files from another Mac.

Why do the file extensions (.jpg .gif .png) no longer appear when I click on a previously saved image to use that image's file name (particularly important when saving a series of images using the same root name)?

I save a lot of images using firefox, often times from a large batch or series of images. It used to be that I would click on a previously saved image and the entire file name including the file extension (i.e. image_example.jpg) would appear in the "save as" line. Now when I click on a previously saved file, the file name appears without the file extension (i.e. image_example). Which means I have to manually type .jpg every time. For a large collection of images that I am hoping to use the same root file name and then add chronological numbers at the end, this has become incredibly frustrating, especially as it is a previously unnecessary task.
I am using a new Macbook Pro and maybe there's something Apple related to this...? It did not happen on my old PowerBook G4. I have file extensions turned on in System Preferences.
It should be noted that I have searched high and low and have even gone into the Apple Genius Bar where they were just confused as I was and of course ended by urging me to use Safari (shocker!) as it has all kinds of new extensions and bells and whistles. I seriously feel alone on an island with this dumb, hard to google problem. Thanks so much for any help anyone out there might have.
I mean: is this as simple as changing a setting in about:config?
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your response Mylenium, however like I mentioned multiple times, I did change all of my trackpad/scrolling settings in system preferences. And if I wanted to use a normal mouse (or a tablet), I would've gotten an iMac instead of a MacBook Pro. I travel often and work all over the place, not always with access to a decently sized workspace that would be required for using a mouse or tablet.

HT1338 I need to bulk upload to Auctiva (auction software) but Java was disabled on my computer. I have 10.5.8 so does this mean that I can't use Java? If not, then is there a workaround to be able to use the bulk uploader from Auctiva?

I need to bulk upload images from iPhoto to Auctiva (auction software) that will then be posted to eBay; however Java was disabled on my computer some time ago due to "known issues." I have 10.5.8 so does this mean that I can't use Java? If not, then is there a workaround to be able to use the bulk uploader from Auctiva? As it stands now, I have to upload photos individually which is super time consuming.

You can re-enable it for special purposes, opposite of disabling it...
Disable Java in your Browser settings, not JavaScript.
