Converting 180 imported images in AE CC to image sequences that reside in same folder as stills.

I have 180 imported stills in a composition. I have corresponding image sequences that I want to convert each still to. The stills are named "x-00001.jpg", and the other parts of the image sequence are in the same directory. How do I get AE CC to make the leap to find the rest of each image sequence aside from manually using "Replace Footage" with each image to check the image sequence box?

Your workflow is flawed when you put your placeholder images and your image sequences in the same folder. Each image sequence should be in a separate folder and should be imported as an image sequence. The frame rate of the imported image sequences is set in Preferences before an image sequence is imported or changed with File>Interpret Footage.
If your placeholder is a still image and you have an image sequence in a different folder you can use the Replace Footage command and it will bring replace a still with an image sequence if you make sure to check the image sequence button before you press Open.
You can also convert your image sequences to Movies using QuickTime and easily wrap them in a .mov container. This eliminates the necessity of checking the image sequence box when replacing footage.
Writing a script to do this would require that you either pause the script to choose the folder with the image sequence or that you script every folder and the placeholder so it would be easier just to go through the composition and replace footage.

Is there an easy way to convert and import MTS files from a external hardrive so that I can edit them in FCP?

I am trying to convert game footage that is in MTS format to something that I can edit into a quick highlights video. I have final cut express and the standard IMovie '09. looking for easiest solution, everything seems to involve using one application to convert to Quicktime and then dropping file into Iphoto etc. is there an easy way?

I'm not completely sure that MPEG Streamclip can convert AVCHD footage (.mts files). If MPEG Streamclip doesn't do the job, then get a copy of Clipwrap, which was designed for transcoding .mts files to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec (that's the format/codec you need to convert the .mts files to for use in FCE).

Aperture replaces images with other images that have the same image number

Help! Aperture has started replacing images in recent projects with older images from elsewhere on my hard drive that have the same image number. Obviously I need a better numbering system, but can someone help me figure out why this is happening? I store master files on an external drive and the "replacement" files seem to be coming from identically named images on my local HD or in iPhoto.

I started renaming all of my images when I import them. I'm using referenced images to an external drive, although I still have a bunch of older images stored in the Aperture library under my old numbering system (which was basically whatever image number the camera generated)....need to move them all to the external drive but haven't had time.
So here's the latest problem: Today, Aperture started replacing images in albums (referenced images with unique file names under my new system) with old images even though the file names weren't even remotely close. It also replaced the images with the preview for the old image (230 pixels wide). "Show master" showed me the preview for the old image, not the correct image.
I tried forcing an update to the preview, but it had no effect. The real masters are intact on the external drive, but this is really scaring me. It happens out of the blue, right in front of me...I watch as my images appear to be replaced with random old images in Aperture. It appears to have nothing to do with file names, as I'm now using totally unique file names.

Convert Photoshop imports to JPEG

I have imported scanned photos into iPhoto as "Photoshop" images. I wish to convert those imports to JPEG images. What's involved in the conversion process?

You do this when you export - it's in the File -> Export dialogue.

Converting from duotone to CYMK or RGB destroys image

Hello
I am trying to create an example of how colours are made up so I am splitting channels, colorising and then printing the individual colour layers RGB and CYMK on to transparency and then layering them on a light box.
I am able to convert to duo tone by doing the following things:
converting the image to 8 bit
splitting channels of the image, i have one rgb image and one cymk image.
converting to duotone and colorising.
if I save the cymk duotone images they just revert to a flat image of the target colour, all of the detail is lost see below
If I try to change the image back to rgb or cymk, the image goes blocky, see below
I need to import these images into inDesign to print them as I have a template that allows me to line each of the images up properly.
why is it doing this?
I am using creative cloud. latest version of photoshop on windows 7 64 bit.
I am close to self harm just now as it makes no sense to me.
any help at all would really be appreciated.
Thanks

Quite frankly I don’t understand the procedure you explain.
Could you post screenshots to illustrate the steps?
If I try to change the image back to rgb or cymk, the image goes blocky, see below
That looks like a problem of its own.
Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?
Otherwise you might want to run some general trouble-shooting routines:

Importer dans Lightroom 4.4 des images Raw CR2 du Canon EOS 70D?

Bonjour, comment puis je importer dans Lightroom 4.4 des images Raw CR2 prises avec mon Canon EOS 70D?
Actuellement je n'obtiens qu'un message qui me dit "Aperçu non disponible pour ce fichier. Je croyais qu'Adobe avait mis à jour Lightroom depuis aout 2013.
Dois je systématiquement convertir le format en DNG ou JPG ou bien dois je acheter Lightroom 5 ?
Merci par avance.

How can I convert an image created in Photoshop into a format that Java's ImageIO library will take?

Hi all,
I've been trying to write an image resize tool to use the Lancoz resample algorithm to resize images to a high standard in Java. The library with the algorithm/filter in it is mortennobel's image scaling library and it takes a buffered image as an input and returns the resized image as desired. However the trouble I’m having is that the ImageIO library in Java, a standard library, which converts images given to its read method to buffered images doesn't accept certain images created in Photoshop and so it throws an exception. My library needs to be fully automated to process possible thousands of images at a time and so manually converting them by resaving them as JPEG's is really feasibly. Is there some way I can convert these images from Adobes Exif format to standard JFIF format? I've tried simple inserting the APP0 marker from a JFIF image in-between the SOI and APP1 marker but the ImageIO library still failed.
The above image is a screenshot of the binary in hex of one of the images that cause an Invalid Format exception when passed to ImageIO.
Any help you could offer me with this would be much appreciated.
Kind regards and thank you,
Alexei Blue

NB: I previously posted this post in Developers but was told to post it in a Photoshop forum so apologies if this is the incorrect formum

The image scaling library does have a BiCubicFilter in it so I'll experiment around with them and see what happens. As for the imageIO library I think it accepts Exif image types, but still for some reason it just doesn't like Adobe Photoshop types. Maybe its the colour map it doesn't like I just can't seem to work out what's wrong which is slightly frustrating but looking round to see if I can find an answer

How do i set preferences in LR 2.4 to convert all imports to DNG?

How do i set preferences in LR 2.4 to convert all imports to DNG? Is there any downside to doing this automatically?

There isn't a preference for automatically converting to DNG, instead you choose Convert to DNG within the File Handling section of the Import window.
Within the Import section of the Preferences panel you need decide how the DNG files are to be created. The following screen shot is probably the best choice for Lr 2.4 and later.

Because I have taken over 9,999 pics, my phone is now duplicating image numbers. The problem is when I am importing with Image Capture, when I select images, the program is importing BOTH the old images of the same number as well as the new ones. Help?

Because I have taken over 9,999 images, my phone is now duplicating image numbers. The problem is that Image Capture now imports BOTH images when I select the new ones that share numbers with old ones. The images were completely mixed when they showed up in Image Capture - Old image 0001, new image 0001, old image 0002, new image 0002 and so forth. I clicked on "date," which then rearraged the images, and I selected only the new ones, but when they actually import to my computer BOTH old and new images are importing. Has anyone figured out how to solve this problem?

Well, obviously all I needed to do to solve the problem was to post about it. It has stopped, so all is well!

Unwanted Color Imported-How do I find the image it's in?

I'm working on a big, 2 color book with lots of imported images. At least one image has imported a third color which I can't see. Without opening 50-60 images and looking, is there a way to find out which image has that color used? It must be behind a solid of the color that is being used. Thanks.

Open the separations preview panel and turn off the two colors you are using. Anything left showing is a problem. Or set up a preflight profile to disallow CMYK...

LR5 Import dialog does not list any images

Lightroom 5 is not seeing that a folder of images I'm trying to import has any images in it. The folder is question has well over 5,000 jpegs (it's my iPhone image depository). While I was able to import images from this folder with no problem in LR4, LR5 is telling me that there are no images in the folder. I've double checked that all my import settings are normal and the same as LR4 and it doens't matter. No matter what I do, I cannot get LR5 to see that there are any images in this folder to import.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Antonio
Here's an image of what's happening:

"If the folder already exists in the Folder panel, select it and Choose Library > Synchronize Folder."
It doesn't exist in the Folder panel. It never has. It would mess up my workflow to have it as such. I only import from this folder.
Try (via finder) moving a few of the images in the folder to another folder that has been cataloged. Then synchronize that folder to see if the images show.
I did this and the images showed up fine, so there is nothing wrong with the image files.
Instead of invoking the Import Dialog first, drag an image from th Camera Roll folder onto the Library module or the Lr icon. That will bring up the import dialog. see if you get the same results.
Did this and it did not work.
Why this is strange is that I have no problem importing from the same folder in Lightroom 4. Something has changed here in LR5.

Greyed imaged in the Import dialog box mean you have already imported the photos into Lightroom, so there is no need and no benefit to importing them a second time.
Just go to the Library module, search for the desired photos, and resume working on these photos.

Converting Word Files n Excel Files To TIFF images using java

Can u plzz help me in finding out code for Conversion of word, excel files to TIFF..as soon as possible...i hope vl find some help from u people.
Thankx n Regards
Mr.Reddy

MS keeps their formats secure, it's how they make money.
There was a project from Apache (sub-group anyway), that was doing some work on it, but documentation and results were very flaky.
However, TIFF has a format that people can use. Search the web for the format, get the details on the byte structure, then simply apply.
Now, to convert between text to image, you'd need a rendering engine that figures out how it would look on-screen, then take the resulting graphics context data and convert it into the TIFF format.

Inconsistent import of EXIF data for RAW images

As of the last month or so I have started to notice import issues related to EXIF data within Aperture. When I import images from a card into a new album, some of the images import EXIF data and others do not. This behavior is seemingly random and affects a subset of all images. Even images taken on the same card with the same camera seconds apart can have differing behavior. At first I presumed that it was a faulty CF card but I now see this behavior across multiple cards (CF, SDHC). Even more perplexing is that the EXIF data will be associated to some images when I import once, and after reimporting the same images once agin from the same source, some do not have the EXIF data. This inconsistent behavior leads me to believe there may be a bug in the import process.
Has anyone had a problem like this? Any advice?

Yes, it is weird. My experience matches zeroorone's. No EXIF inf. showed. I wasn't using a metadata preset that showed _all_ EXIF, but a lot of it, and all the "important ones". It seems reasonable to assume that none of the EXIF was showing.
Brand new installation of everything, less than 1 week old, all up-to-date (I am re-installing everything, slowly; porting nothing except some pref and support files, and data files). Only happened once so far (but on three consecutive imports).

Hi there! So I am using Lightroom 3 on a pc and I have ran into an issue when exporting images. The DPI and image size (in inches) that I am selecting during the export process. For example I just exported a collection and set the dpi to 180 and the size

Hi there! So I am using Lightroom 3 on a pc and I have ran into an issue when exporting images. The DPI and image size (in inches) that I am selecting during the export process. For example I just exported a collection and set the dpi to 180 and the size to 7 inches on the long edge. My exported result is 457 dpi and sized at 3200x2134 pixels.. Any ideas on why this is happening and what I can do to correct it?

The DPI setting in a digital image has no meaning at all. You need to learn how to calculate what you need in your exported image. The only measurement in a digital image that has any meaning is the number of pixels in each direction. It doesn't matter what you set that DPI to (actually it's PPI or pixels per inch). The image will have the same number of pixels regardless of the setting. If you need an image that is 5 x 7" (for example) at 200 PPI then you would want an image that measured:
5 x 200 = 1000 pixels
7 x 200 = 1400 pixels
So you would need an image that is 1000 x 1400 pixels to have a 5 x 7" image at 200 PPI. The reason your exported image had such a high PPI setting is because you specified the number of inches you wanted the image to be. And there were enough pixels in the image that it calculated out to be that high PPI setting.
I apologize, I don't explain this very well. But you need to learn to do the math to determine how large you really want your exported images to be.
