Converting an image to a Thumbnail

Is there a way, using the ORDSYS.ORDIMAGE datatype, to copy an image into a thumbnail during a bulk load, and load both the original image AND the thumbnail into the database at the same time?
Thanks.

I guess I understand a little better.
I would use PL/SQL if I were you since it is more flexible, and for images there is not a noticable perfomance between the two.
I don't know why you would want a trigger. The general PL/SQL procedure used in most of these cases:
Start
For every row to be inserted
Load data and image into row.
Use processCopy to create thumbnail from original image.
commit
end for;
end;
You would not need a procedure that first creates the rows and then creates the thumbnails.
Since there is are restrictions on using new LOB contents in a trigger, I doubt a trigger would work.
see:
http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/products/intermedia/htdocs/avi_bulk_loading.html
You can take the load example and add code to create the thumbnail at the same tim ethe image is created.
If the same thumbnail may be used in different tables, you can have it stored in one lob and out the same lob locator in different tables.

  • How do I convert the loading hourglass to thumbnails?

    Lately all of my uploads are shown as uploading houglasses in the Elements 6 Organizer (show all.  When I click on the hourglass the image comes up.  This has been a problem for a few months now.  Prior images are shown as thumbnails.  Is there anyway I can fix this problem?  Would appreciate any advice one could offer.
    Thanks,
    Stu Sporn

    I reloaded Elements 8, found the CACHE file, deleted it, started Elements up again and still the last few months of image thumbnails remain hourglasses.  Should I just live with this?   I think I said that when I click on the thumbnail the image comes up and editing as usual.  I really appreciate your help... do you work for Adobe?
    I'm resistant to loading CS5 on because I'll loose that great catalog feature & will have to find things on the MB...   stu

    So are you saying that when you navigate to the folder My Catalog1 it contains the PSEDB8 file but not the CACHE file?

  • Does Web Module size and convert RAW images to jpeg?

    I have never used the Web module before. It looks pretty straightforward but I have one question:
    What about images? Does Lightroom take the original RAW images from the library that I've chosen to go into the web site and 'pare the down' or re-size them to be appropriate size for the web site and I assume it would also convert them to jpegs in sizes needed for preview and for thumbnails?
    I assume that when you start the 'machinery' for Lightroom to build the web site that it will put all of the images needed as copies from the originals into a proper folder that can be then uploaded to the web?
    Thanks,
    Ken
    PS: if I choose a flash template, which are pretty nice, does it also include the flash module so that people can run the flash presentation on their computers?

    It will convert all images to jpegs, resize ... however you set it up ... and yes, it is so straightforward as it seems to be .
    It makes no sense to upload RAW files to the web for public use in the first place. Second, LR does not touch/change the RAW files. Therefore, how would it be able to integrate your dev settings when using RAW on export?
    You can add the ftp target in LR and it will upload directly to your web server.
    If you choose Flash-based, people need to have the Adobe Flash player installed on their computer. The Flash player itself is not part of the LR setup. Most of people already have it installed and who doesnt will be asked to install it.

  • Pop-up images appear as thumbnails

    Today while accessing the help from my hard-drive, I noticed that when I clicked on a link to open a pop-up image it appeared as a thumbnail.
    The pop-up is supposed to appear as a full-sized image, and not a thumbnail.
    When generating the layout, in the multiscreen HTML5 properties, under screen profiles - desktop - optimization, I have Convert absolute image size to relative image size selected.
    When this option is cleared, the pop-up image opens normally.
    However, I would prefer to keep this option selected so that large images are converted to relative image size, and fit on the page.
    What is weird to me, is that when accessing the latest version of the help online through my company's system both pop-up images open normally, and absolute images are converted to relative size so possibly some other setting is causing my pop-up images to become thumbnails?
    Suggestions are welcome,
    Yehoshua

    Interesting. This is a consequence of the optimization setting. What method are you using for the popups? If you’re using autosize popups, try converting one or two to fixed size popups to see whether that helps.

  • Unable to convert an image (.bmp) to PDF

    I have a written servlet that uses Adobe LiveCycle API to convert files to PDF. This works. I have a problem with one image (.BMP) for which the PDF conversion fails. I then tried converting the image to PDF using Adobe Acrobat. I see the following error:
    I am able to open the image file without any issues. Why does Acrobat think the file is corrupt? Is there a way to find out if an image is OK for PDF conversion, either manually or programmatically? Attaching the image file for reference.

  • 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
    Science Warehouse.
    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 to convert an Image to a byte array?

    I want to make a screenshot and then convert the image to a byte of arrays so I can send it through a BufferedOutputStream.
    try
                   robot = new Robot();
                   screenshot = robot.createScreenCapture(new Rectangle(500,500));
                   imageFile = new File("image.png");
                   ImageInputStream iis = ImageIO.createImageInputStream(screenshot);
                   byte[] data = new byte[1024];
                   byte[] tmp = new byte[0];
                   byte[] myArrayImage = new byte[0];
                   int len = 0;
                   int total = 0;
                   while((len = iis.read(data)) != -1 ) // LINE 52 --- EXCEPTION CATCHED HERE
                        total += len;
                        tmp = myArrayImage;
                        myArrayImage = new byte[total];
                        System.arraycopy(tmp,0,myArrayImage,0,tmp.length);
                        System.arraycopy(data,0,myArrayImage,tmp.length,len);
                   ios.close();I get this exception while running:
    Exception in thread "Thread-0" java.lang.NullPointerException
    at Server.run(Server.java:52)
    at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

    Fixed that. I got a new problem.
    When I connect to my simple server application that reads the image file, converts it to an array of bytes and sends it back, the file is created on the client side and it containts data, but I am not able to open the image. I have checked that the image that the server is sending is working. So where is the problem?
    The client application recieves the image as following:
    public void run()
            try
                socket = new Socket("127.0.0.1", 2000);
                BufferedOutputStream out_file = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("recieved_img.png"));
                BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
                int inputLine;
                while((inputLine = in.read()) != -1)
                    char c = (char)inputLine;
                    System.out.println(c);
                    out_file.write(inputLine);
            catch(IOException err){ err.printStackTrace(); }
        }And the server sends the image like this;
    try
              socket = server.accept();
              in=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
              out = new BufferedOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
              out.write(25);
              while((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
                   System.out.println(myArrayImage.length);
              System.out.println(inputLine);
                        out.write(myArrayImage);     // Send the array of bytes
         }

  • When I try to print an jpeg or png from Photoshop all it does is convert the image to a PDF & plop it on my desktop- it won't print the image. Any suggestions as to how to fix this?

    Yes, the printer is on, it’s selected in Printer Set-Up & I’ve never had this problem before. It’s definitely a Photoshop issue as every other type of file prints fine. I’ve uninstalled Pshop & am now reinstalling. Hope that will do the trick.

  • Hi, how can i break the value for a row and column once i have converted the image to the array?????​??

    Hi, I would like to know how can i break the value for a row and column once i have converted the image to the array. I wanted to make some modification on the element of the array at a certain position. how can i do that?
    At the moment (as per attachhment), the value of the new row and column will be inserted by the user. But now, I want to do some coding that will automatically insert the new value of the row and the column ( I will use the formula node for the programming). But the question now, I don't know how to split the row and the column. Is it the value of i in the 'for loop'? I've  tried to link the 'i' to the input of the 'replace subset array icon' , but i'm unable to do it as i got some error.
    Please help me!
    For your information, I'm using LABView 7.0.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.Sorry for the confusion.
    I manage to change the array element by changing the row and column value. But, what i want is to allow the program to change the array element at a specified row and column value, where the new value is generated automatically by the program.
    Atatched is the diagram. I've detailed out the program . you may refer to the comments in the formula node. There are 2 arrays going into the loop. If a >3, then the program will switch to b, where if b =0, then the program will check on the value of the next element which is in the same row with b but in the next column. But if b =45, another set of checking will be done at a dufferent value of row and column.
    I hope that I have made the problem clear. Sorry if it is still confusing.
    Hope you can help me. Thank you!!!!

  • Converting RGB images (sRGB or Adobe RGB) to 709 color space.

    I'm trying to determine the correct way to convert RGB images (sRGB or Adobe RGB) to 709 color space.  I can't just use the "covert to profile" function to do this because it does not produce results that fall within the 16 to 235 range that 709 dictates.  I've read that you can simply use the "Levels" adjustment and change the output levels to 16 to 235.  While this would clearly compress the luminance to the correct range, I'm not entirely clear if the end result would be a proper conversion (i.e. if color and gamma, for example, would be technically correct.)
    I noticed that converting the profile to "HDTV (Rec. 709)" does alter the image, so I'm wondering what the result would be if I did both this AND used the levels control to compress the output range to 16 to 235.
    Thanks for any feedback on this.

    (1)
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rec._709
    (2)
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rec._601
    The transfer functions for Rec.709 (1) refer to the range [0..1] or for 8 bits per pixel [0...255].
    It seems that the clipping, black=16 and white=235 has to happen after the application of the
    transfer function. If this should be true, then we don't have a level compression but a level
    clipping at both ends, as already for Rec.601 (2), like here:
    The ICC-Profile HDTV(Rec.709) in Photoshop contains the primaries and the white point
    (both like that in sRGB) and the transfer functions for [0..1], coded by a LUT with high resolution,
    as found by Profile Inspector. There is no clipping.
    By the way, that`s the internal profile name, I don't know the file name of the profile.
    Softproofing, source in sRGB, target HDTV(Rec.709), without clipping:
    With numbers not preserved: no change of the appearance, as expected.
    With numbers preserved: shows the effect of different effective gammas. 
    Your questions are very clear and I'm not sure whether my comments help. The information
    in the internet is not convincing.

  • Convert color images to black&white bitmaps

    Hi,
    I have black&white scans of public domain books (image format). I use an OCR software to convert them to indexable PDFs (image+text format). However, the OCRed PDFs are insanely big: a 27 MB scanned PDF leads to an indexable PDF of 728 MB! And unfortunately, my OCR software doesn't have output settings, so I have to find a way to compress the files using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
    Using Advanced Options > Optimization does reduce the file size, but not significantly. The problem seems to be that my OCR software converts the black&white scans to color images, and encodes them as such inside the PDF. So I need a way to set the image modes back to black&white. I tried using the Advanced Options > Preflight dialog, and selecting "Convert to black&white". However, the resulting PDFs stay about the same size! It seems that "Convert to black&white" converts the images to grayscale, instead of to bitmap.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    I mentioned "bitmaps", because when I open the original PDF and right-click a random page and select "Modify image..." and open the image in Photoshop, the mode is set to "Bitmap mode": meaning 1-bit mode, containing either black or white pixels. However, when I do "Modify image..." for the OCRed PDF, the mode is set to "RGB Color Mode". I think this explains, in part, the huge size of the OCRed PDF.
    Maybe this table will make it more clear:
    Original PDF (Bitmap Mode, 132 dpi)
    Size: 27 MB
    OCRed PDF (RGB Color Mode, 300 dpi)
    Size: 728 MB
    Now, from the table above, it's clear that I have to reduce the image resolution. So, using the Acrobat's PDF optimizer, I tried the following settings:
    Optimized OCRed PDF: Try 1 (Downsample to 132 dpi, JPEG compression)
    Size: 733 MB
    Optimized OCRed PDF: Try 2 (Downsample to 132 dpi, ZIP compression)
    Size: 449 MB
    But 449 MB is still huge for a single book. And I don't want to reduce the resolution under 132 dpi, because I will loose quality. Clearly, if the original document is just 27 MB, I should be able to squeeze the OCRed document too. But I don't know how.
