Convert EPS images from Mac to PC

I wonder if anyone have any experience of converting large
quantities of images from Mac to PC? I have several thousands of
freehand eps-images saved for Mac that I need to convert to a
PC-eps. Anyone know any application that can accomplish
this?

Do the EPS files contain live text? Fonts could be an issue
unless you are
doing the conversion on a PC and replacing fonts as you go.
The only other
difference between Mac and PC EPS files is the preview. If
you don't need
the PC preview, you may not need to do the conversion at all.
FH cannot open (as editable) many flavors of EPS file, but
can import an EPS
and export it as QuarkXPress EPS which contains both Mac and
PC previews. I
don't know about the quality of the PC preview in this case,
as it would be
based on the Mac preview, not the original Postscript data.
If you're on a
Mac, you could possibly use an Applescript to open and export
the EPS files.
The task would be simpler and more reliable using
Illustrator, which has a
Postscript interpreter and is scriptable.

Converting RAW images from Nikon D7100

My PSE11 will not recognize/convert RAW images from new Nikon D7100 despite trying to download PSE update. Have had NO prior problem with RAW using D80. Help!

When you saying "trying to download PSE update" do you mean you're trying to do it manually? The best way is editor>help>updates. (Assuming this isn't the mac app store version, which is a whole 'nother story.)

When converting an image from raw to jpeg , the jpeg can look flat compared to the original raw image . Is there anything I can do about this ?

When converting an image from raw to jpeg , the jpeg can look flat compared to the original raw image . Is there any way to prevent this ?

Hi Joe , Thank you for your quick response . I am viewing the jpeg in Microsoft Picture Manager and Flickr. It 's not always really noticeable , but for example if I shoot into the light with dew on the grass , the dew glistens in LRoom and I'm happy with the shot but when I convert it to jpeg ,it looks dull. I have changed the setting to sRGB - from Adobe 1998 ,but don't see much difference. Kind regards Alberto.

URGENT - how do I convert and image from colour to black and white?

Hi,
I'm new to Java, and I really need some code to convert an image from colour to black and white! I would really appreciate any help, but since I don't know much about Java I would prefer some code or links to websites with the code.
Thanks!!!

Converting file names from Mac to Windows.

I am an Apple tech at a university that uses both PCs and Macs. We have found that we run into some problems when transferring a user's data from one platform to the other.
When transferring lots of files, what do you experienced Mac techs use for safely converting file names from Mac to Windows?
From Windows to Mac?
We've tried NameCleaner and ended up with bad results.
Please let me know if there is something good out there for these conversions.
---Timothy

The problem looks like this:
1. User wants to switch from Mac to Windows.
2. We back up the data from his Mac to a server (an X-Serve RAID).
3. We log into the server from Windows.
4. We try to pull his data from the server.
During this data transfer, it quits with an error stating that it can't finish copying the data. I wish I had the exact text, but I don't. It does this repeatedly, and stops on different files from different locations.
In essence, without "cleaning" the Mac file names, data transfer to Windows cannot successfully complete. It quits on certain Mac file names. In the past, NameCleaner has worked sometimes, but now we have had some issues with NameCleaner (which don't matter in this discussion). The goal is to find a better solution than NameCleaner.

How to convert EPS(image file) file in to other image format e.g NIGMAS

Hi friends,
I want to make a tool which will help to convert the EPS image file into other image format BY USING JAVA TECHNOLOGY. I havent done this type of file conversion before, so any body please explain it to me from the basic how can i go for it, what r the require things, where should i get the help of it, which java API should i use etc. i ll be vry thankful.
My actual requirement is i want to convert the EPS file into the NIGMAS(Nihon computer graphic mapping System) file format.
Thank you in anticiption.

The easiest, but not necesarily the best, way is to use ImageMagick's convert utility. From Java you can use Runtime.exec to invoke convert.exe ... ImageMagick is opensource and supports many different formats ( www.ImageMagick.com )
     * Converts an eps file to a graphic that is suitable for the web.
     * We use ImageMagick's 'convert' utility to convert .eps files into either gif or png format.
     * The output format is determine by the extension that you set for the output file.
     * Sample command:
     * convert -density 208x208 /export/home/kpmg/tomcattest/jsp/1.eps
     *                                    /export/home/kpmg/tomcattest/jsp/1.png
     * Although convert supports about 100 different parameters, we are only using 1:
     * -density     (sets the vertical and horizontal resolution in pixels of the image)
     * Density sets the vertical and horizontal resolution in pixels of the image.
     * It should be changed based on the resolution of the user's monitor
     * (e.g. if hi-res display settings, then density will need to be greater
     * than if running on a low-res display, which would make the same image look really big )
     * You may want to use other convert parameters, such as -sharpen
     * to make the image look better, or -compress and
     * -quality to change the kb size of the image.
     * For the full list of parameters see:
     *      http://www.imagemagick.org/www/convert.html
     * @param inFile The absolute path to the eps file to be converted
     * @param outFile The absolute path to the desired output graphic file.
     *                         NOTE: the format of the output file is determined by the
     *                         extension that you give for this parameter (e.g. file.png will
     *                          be written as a png file )
public void eps2www(String inFile, String outFile, String density) throws Exception
          // use ImageMagick's convert program to make the www version ( png or gif, etc)
          String call = convert +
                    " -density " + density +
                              " " + inFile +
                              " " + outFile;
          try
               Process child = rt.exec( call );
               child.waitFor();
               log.debug("Convert process exit code is: " + child.exitValue() );
          catch (Exception e)
               // TO DO: this could probably be more explicit
               throw new Exception(e);
          // log the command strings for debuggin purposes.
          log.debug( "Convert Successful: call = " + call);
     }

Pasting Image from Mac clipboard to Java Based Application.

Hi,
I am working on "iMac 10.2.7". I need to paste an image from other
application using "Java version 1.4.1". I am trying to retrieve the image
from the system clipboard after it is copied from some other application. I
am pasting the code which illustrates my requirement. It works fine on
windows. But does not work on Mac.
On Mac it does not cross the supported data flavor check
(clipData.isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor.imageFlavor) where clipData is
the Transferable object). It seems Mac has some InputStream instead of Image
in the clipboard when some image is copied. I tried to read that InputStream
using ImageIO.read(java.io.InputStream). But that is also returning null.
Thanks

Dragging a single image from mac Preview to InDesign CS6 doesn't work but 2 or more images does?

I usually take anywhere form 2500 to 5000 photos in any single day's session. Because of this, I need an easy way to sort through them and grab just the one's I need to import to my InDesign "book". I have been using CS3 for years now, and what I always did was open up Preview on my Mac to browse all my days photos. Then when I found a good one, I would simply drag that single image over to my opened InDesign screen and just drop it into a page. I would then go back to Preview and continue this procedure until I had looked through all the days images. I could even drag multiple images over and once I was over InDesign I can just click each image and pop them into various pages with ease. Then I upgraded to CS6 and I've hit a kink in the works. When I drag over a single image to InDesign, before I drop it into the page my mouse pointer looks like 3 tiny paste images (the little rectangle with the folded down upper left corner). If I release my mouse to drop the image into InDesign, it just flys back to Preview and doesn't drop into InDesign. Now if I get 2 or more images from Preview, this process works just like it always did. But 1 single image... never. I've tried holding down command, shift, control, option, and combos of those buttons to see if anything changes and it never does. I always get the mouse icon with 3 little paste icons. In CS3 if I dragged a single image it would only show 1 paste icon and 3 icons if I dragged 2 or more, but not in CS6. Is there a setting I'm missing or a preference? I've tried looking through everything that I can find to no avail. There has to be a way??? Thanks!

Use Bridge instead
good luck

Help, bridge will not convert the images from my Canon 7D into raw

Has anyone else had problems converting images from a Canon 7D into Raw format? Bridge downloads them and then tells me it could not convert them. Hopefully someone out there has a fix. Aah the joys of new equipment and software.
EW

Bridge should be converting image FROM raw format, not TO raw format.
If you have Photoshop CS4 you should update to the latest Camera RAW plugin:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
If you have an earlier version of Photoshop (CS, CS2, CS3) then you can download the latest free DNG Converter and convert the 7D RAWs to DNGs and then an older version of Camera RAW can open them.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Windows
CS5 will be announced in a few weeks/months, and when it is available there will only be an upgrade path from CS2, CS3 and CS4, so if you have PS CS then you need to upgrade to CS4, now, before CS4 is available, otherwise to upgrade to CS5 you will need to pay full price.
If you have a PS version newer than CS then you can wait and upgrade to CS5 when it is out.
With either CS4 (and the newest Camera RAW update) and CS5, you won't have to convert 7D RAWs to DNGs to work on them.

How do I convert pc images to mac for use in photoshop

Just bought an iMac. Trying to work on photos that I've already altered on my pc. Everything went well until I tried to save the image, of which it won't let me. I was told to convert the image in Preview. I tried to but then couldn't find the image afterwards. Very novice, obviously. Thanks for any help you can offer!

Transfer images from mac to camera

Hi, im trying to transfer images from my macbook pro back to my camera. When i hook up the camera the only place i can see it is in i photo and it wont allow me to transfer in that program. The camera does not sure up on my desktop as a flash drive would.... how do i open the camera in a finder window that will allow me to click and drag photos back to the camera? is this even possible? im using my macbook pro with osx snow leopard
thanks for the help

Remove the memory card from the camera and insert it into a USB card reader. it should then be mounted on the desktop in the Finder, and you copy images onto it. No bets on whether the camera will display them as expected, though. It's generally safest not to make any modifications at all to the contents of a camera card while it's connected to a Mac. The result of doing so is often that the camera won't be able to read or use the card.

Photos not deleting images from mac

Hi All,
OK, so the issue is that I have taken some photos on my iPhone and these have synced to my Mac and iPad using iCloud Photo Library as expected. However I then deleted these photos from iCloud Photo Library using my iPhone and they can no longer been seen in the iCloud Photo Library, or in Recently Deleted (as this has been emptied). However they are still on my Mac's local hard drive. If I try to import them on my Mac I get a message asking if I would like to import the duplicate photo(s), but I cannot find them anywhere in the library.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get rid of these images from my Mac?
Cheers
Graham..

They may be filed away in a Moment with an incorrect date - have you tried the search field to search for a part of the filename?
You already tried to repair the Photos Library, right?
Then it may be a problem of corrupted preferences files:
The Photos.app stores the preference settings in a file in your hidden User Library. If this file has become corrupted, you can see all kinds of problems with the graphical user interface - missing menu items, invisible photos, etc.
To remove this file, do the following.
Quit Photos, if it is running.
Reveal your user library and delete this folder: ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Photos/
To reveal the hidden User Library:
Bring the Finder forward by clicking on the Desktop or the Finder icon in the Dock.
Select your user/home folder (with the house icon in the Finder sidebar)
With that Finder window as the front window, press the key combination ⌘J to bring up the View options.
In the View options panel enable ’Show Library Folder’. That will make your user library folder visible in your Home folder.
Open your Home folder, then the Library folder, then Containers.
Move the complete folder com.apple.Photos to your desktop. Move the entire folder, not just the contents.

Can't save or send a scanned image from mac using OS X 10.9.4 image is completely black

I've recently updated my MacBook pro to OS X 10.9.4 and I can no longer scan and save images from my HP printer I have HP photosmate premium C310. When scanning the image will appear on the screen but once saved or emailed it is just black. Any ideas as to why? All the current updates have been made to my limited technical knowledge, but I did just run a check and it seems updated.

Hi,
Follow the workaround below to scan using Image Capture or Preview. the HP Scan application is not available for your printer for 10.9:

Converting menu images from PAL to NTSC

I have to prepare an NTSC version of a PAL dvd project.
I am firstly converting all the material, prior to building the dvd. One question though - I have used a lot of stills as menu backgrounds that were extracted from my PAL videos via the export still image function of FCP HD. They are obviously PAL format. What is the easiest way to rescale them to fit the NTSC frame, and not have any distortion? And what is the correct format to import them in - 640x480 or 720x480? This project is intended to be watched on TV not computer screens so I assume the latter.
jake
g4 dual 1 ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Just feed them as they are to iDVD.
iMovie HD exports stills from PAL projects as 784x576 and from NTSC as 720x528 so the aspect ratios are almost the same.
iDVD will scale them internally as needed.

How are you going to convert the actual PAL video to NTSC? With JES Deinterlacer?
