Custom image format

Could anybody please point me in the right direction to write a plug-in to import custom image formats?
Thanks

The LR plugin SDK doesn't have the capability for directly importing formats other than those natively implemented by LR (JPEG, raw, TIFF, PNG, video). The Any File plugin lets you "import" files of arbitrary type into your catalog and manage them, but you can't edit the files directly in LR.
If you have more specific questions about writing plugins, please post them in the LR SDK forum.

Loading custom image formats

Hello all.
I am wanting to load a custom image format into my Java application, and am wondering how to do that. I have a few ideas to try but I figure if there is a site out there (or someone with the knowledge), there is no need for me to re-invent the wheel. So hopefully, someone might be able to expedite my learning. :)
The image format I want to read actually contains multiple images, with 1 color palette at the end of the file. I'd like to create a series of (I assume) BufferedImages for all the images contained within the file.
Are there any sites out there that can send me through a quick tutorial on rolling my own images, or can anyone give me a short function to do so?
Thanks so much!

Okay... I failed. I could really use some help in getting this work. Please.
I have a file, which contains 1 or more compressed bitmap images and a palette. I have a small Perl script that will convert the images in the file into multiple bitmap image files, so I know where the data is and I know I have the data locations right. :)
To create a BITMAP, I must reverse the order of the palette (perl function):
sub reversePalette() {
my $output = "";
for (my $i=0; $i < length($_[0]); $i=$i+4) {
$output = $output . substr($_[0], $i+2, 1) . substr($_[0], $i+1, 1) . substr($_[0], $i+0, 1) . chr(0);
return $output;
}For the image data itself, it uses a simple RLE encoding. If I see a 0, I check the next number and "uncompress" the data by adding that many 0's to the output file.
So, what I would like to do is convert my Perl script into a Java class that will take this sprite file and return an array of BufferedImages, which can then be used for whatever.
Any help in this would be greatly appreciated! I can't even figure out how to properly load a valid BMP file manually using WritableRaster and ColorModel. I'm so lost. :(

Adding a Custom Image to a Style

Yet another dumb question! Is it possible to add a customized image to a style? For example, I have a style named Caution and I want this style to use a specific image. If this is possible, please provide details for implementing it. If it is not possible, perhaps a snippet is the better option?
Thanks again.

Willam:
Thanks for the offer. One of the issues I have encountered is that the url for the image changes and then the image no longer appears. For example, I specify url("Note.png") and when I save the css the path is updated to url("../../Note.png"). Also, as I discussed previously, the formatting for multi-line entries is a bit wonky:
It would be nice to have the text alligned to the left.
Here is how the entry currently appears for this style:
p.Note {
      margin-right: 0.000pt;
      text-align: left;
      margin-bottom: 9.000pt;
      word-spacing: 0.250em;
      font-family: Arial;
      font-style: normal;
      font-weight: normal;
      color: #000000;
      letter-spacing: 0.00em;
      font-size: 11pt;
      text-indent: 0.4in;
      margin-left: 0.4in;
      x-next-class: Body;
      x-next-type: p;
      margin-top: 9pt;
      background: url("Note.png") no-repeat left top;
      padding-left: 25px;
      margin-left: 18pt;
      line-height: 33pt;text-decoration: none;

Custom images in Oracle BI

I needed to add the custom images in my BI dashboard and followed the same guidance provided on OTN threads to add the images in the 3 diffrent directory locations in my 11g setup. After Adding it to the 3 different path I restarted my presentation services. Now when i go to my conditional formatting tab and i provide the path in custom image field as fmap:images/myimage.jpg and say ok I see the image in the conditional formatting tab. But then i dont see the image on my dashboard. So the problem is the image is comin up in the conditional formatting window but not on actual dashboard. I tried clearing the browser cache and temporary internet files but still no use.

Hi,
the proplem with you image size only, let try it exsting oracle bi default image it will work keep it the same size of your image and the place it corresponding folder then restart your all bi sevices
Refer this link: i*t's obiee10g try the same method in obiee11g..it should work*
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/fmap
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/09/27/oracle-bi-ee-101332-changing-logos-in-the-answers-title-view/
http://addsrikanth.wordpress.com/2008/06/10/displaying-images-in-obiee/
if its not working above method please
Make sure below thinks
In Ideal situation Oracle can accept on that image which is already present in Oracle BI. But if you want to add new picture then first you have to change instanceconfig.xml file which is present in BIData\web\config. and add the following line
<HardenXSS>false</HardenXSS>
that they have given in Presnetation services Administrative tool guide.
and now add the desireable picture in image folder that is
BIHome\web\app\res\s_oracle10\images
And
BIHome\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res\s_oracle10\images
check which is suitable.
Now use fmap: for adding picture.
Restart all the services related to BI. all are not needed but I dont know which one so restart all.
Now I think you can get the Answer
It should work

Why do G3 raw files show as "Unsupported Image Format" in Aperture?

I am moving towards shooting in raw, and as an experiment I imported some sample raw files from the publicly available text images on the Photography Blog. When I try to look at these images, I get a black screen with a warning triangle and the message "Unsupported Image Format". This happens for all the different raws, including some G3 raw files (.rw2). Oddly, it can read the EXIF metadata and has all the information about shooting settings etc. If I import the same files into iPhoto, it displays the images properly and allows editing, etc.
I have a workaround, which I've also tried with my Fuji X10 raws (still not supported on MacOSX), of running them through the Adobe DNG converter, and then looking at the dng files which seem to work fine. But it's a pain.
This has to be one of those simple "D'oh" things, but I can't see what I'm doing wrong!

Thanks Leonie, the second part revealed that I have been an idiot, although the behaviour is still surprising. The folder has a mix of DMC-G3 raws, Fuji X10 raws, and DNG files produced from both. For the Fuji X10 files, the DNGs produce images and the raws produce the "Unsupported file format" message. The latter is not surprising, the former a little surprising (as I've heard that DNGs only work when the associated raw works). The last two remarks don't directly address my problem (or perceived problem), but they perhaps set the frame for my expectations.
For the G3 files, when I look at it more closely, the G3 raws DO display correctly, while the G3 DNGs give "Unsupported file format". I had managed to fool myself into thinking it was the other way round (Aperture does rather hide the full file name).
So I was completely wrong, Aperture does support DMC-G3 raw, it's just it's DNG support that's a bit weird. However, it's on my side if I need to use X10 raws (via the DNG step). In fact so far I've given up the latter, as the noise levels are so much greater than in Fuji's in-camera JPEG conversion.
So, thanks very much for your help. Now I remember the first rule of system support: never trust what the customer tells you! (I know you're not really customer support, but I guess the same rule applies.) Thanks again

Unsupported image format error

Hey folks,
I've read several older threads on this topic and have not seen any new information. I am hoping there is a fix and someone out there knows it.
When I fired up aperture today I discovered that all of my images display with the dreaded unsupported image format error.
Thinking that my 215gb library had gotten too large, I tried to create a new library. Same result. When I import new images from my Canon 40D they show as a tiny preview and then quickly turn to the red message. It appears the raw files are not even imported into the library.... which made me think permissions. I repaired permissions and went so far as to set my ~/Photos/ to 777 ... still no dice.
I tried rebuilding my library - did not help
I have tried restoring from TimeMachine backup - no help
I deleted the plist and ~/Library/Application Support/Apreture - no help
I'm getting really worried that I have lost my library. I understand that the files are still there, but what about my edits and metadata. Seeing that this is a wide-spread issue is not helping my situation.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Good questions and thinking! I was vague about the chronology.
I first noticed the issue when I intended to import some images on my iMac which is home to my main 200+gb library. I never even got to the importing stage b/c I saw red, literally, when I launched the app.
I then created a new library and tried to import.
My final stage was to import onto the MBP, different machine, different library.
As for updates, I had applied the Dec. updates to the iMac but not the MBP.
While I know this will destroy my crediability as a troubleshooter (if you saw my images you'd know I have none as a photog ) I have realized that my Canon 40D somehow got switched into a custom mode during a few of the shots causing it to go into Canon's sRAW. I think that accounts for the behavior of the imported images on the MBP. It does not, however, account for my entire library turning red on the iMac.

Pages custom date format

I'm looking for a way to create a custom date format outside a Pages formatted cell. In other words, in text paragraphs, I need to be able to update the year only in a paragraph. Any ideas?

If you are looking for the capability within Pages to insert a custom date field-code like the following, outside of a table, then I am not aware of how it can be done. I used LibreOffice 4.0 to produce the following image.
When this was exported as a .docx file into Pages v4.3 on Mountain Lion, the YYYY format was replaced by a Pages date field. A right-button selection of this date in Pages offers an Edit Date & Time... menu item that produces the following panel:
There is no YYYY format customization on this panel within Pages.
It is possible to write an AppleScript service that runs from your Pages > Services menu and scans your Pages document for a date to convert to a YYYY replacement format. You may not want that either.
Did this answer your question?

Export/Save As...Visual objects in WPF/XAML to image format like *.png or *.jpeg

Hi,
I am working on getting the content of a Canvas i.e. the children arranged on Canvas as nodes and edges of a dependency graph representing certain relationship. I want to export or "Save As..." image format. I achieved it successfully, with some
trial and error, as it was first time for me to write such functionality. However, I have encountered couple of issues; I am using RenderTargetBitmap
with dpix and dpiy as 256.
Issues:
The image shrinks on render as image with PixelFormats.Pbgra32;
though it scales well in windows image viewer.
If I try to obtain bounds as Rect bounds = VisualTreeHelper.GetDescendantBounds(content);
and utilize the width and height in RenderTargetBitmap to avoid clipping of image; with certain multiplier - I get system out of memory exception; the multiplier is around 2.67; any value greater than 3 runs into exceptions.
Please provide me any reference or any other way of achieving the export.
Thank you,
Best Regards,
Mandeep

How to change the bar chart rendering image format in SSRS

Hello all,
I am working with SQL Server 2008 R2 and I have a SSRS bar chart report, when the report got rendered over online or if the take Export (PDF and PPT), the image is in png format always, which is taking too much of time to execute the report in case of large
data.
Can, It be possible that the rendered image is in jpeg format instead of png.
If Yes, please share the appropriate steps to follow:
Thanks in advance
Pankaj Kumar Yadav-

Hi Pankaj067,
According to your description, you want to change the bar chart rendering image format as JPEG format when previewing the report or exporting to a PDF file .
In Reporting Services, the chart rendering image format is PNG by default. It’s a by-design behavior. And it doesn’t open any API for us to change the image type when exporting a chart to a format. So in your scenario, your requirement can’t be achieved
in Reporting Services currently. I would recommend you submit a feature request to Microsoft at this site:
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer. So that we can try to modify and expand the product features based on your needs.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,

Not able to save date column with custom date format. in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have migrated one report from OBIEE 10g to 11g. There is a date column with customized date format(i.e. Default format is 'dd-MMM-yyyy' and I have used 'MMM-yyyy').
But when I use this custom format and try to save the report in 11g its giving this below error.
''Catalog object privilege validation failed for user to path /shared/ALM BI/Finacial Results/History Income Statement Detail.
You do not currently have sufficient privileges to save a report or dashboard page that contains HTML markup.

"Output could not be issued" when using custom page formats

Dear all,
I created a custom page format using SPAD. Its dimension is 7.5cm x 10cm (190mm x 254mm). I also created this page format in windows and set as the default paper size in my printer. However, when trying to print a smartform using this size, the message "Output could not be issued" is given. When I use the standard paper sizes (e.g., LETTER, DINA4), the form prints OK.
Can you point me to the direction to solving this?
Thank you!
Kyle

Issue resoved.
For those who are encountering the same problem, here's what I did. I tested the smartform by itself and it reported the specific error: the page format is not supported in device type SWIN. I added it in another device type SAPWIN. This was just a simple miscommunication between the admins and the developer. I added the format in SWIN and everything works fine.

"Unsupported Image Format" all of a sudden, with previously workable files

Folks,
I've got an issue that seems very strange indeed.
Months ago, I bought a Pentax K20D. I also bought a 17" MacBook Pro and Aperture. Camera and Aperture played well together.
I encountered the known issue with white spots on the image when using the 2-second timer for long exposures. I read about how the Pentax firmware update 1.01 changed the EXIF Make information, causing Aperture to be unable to read the K20D PEF RAWs. So I waited.
When Aperture 2.1.1 was released (and I think the Apple RAW update), I installed both of those. When I heard through this forum that the updates fixed the problem, I also updated my camera's firmware and confirmed that it worked.
So smooth sailing for a few months on Aperture 2.1.1, OS 10.5.3 (or .4, I forget), and K20D firmware 1.01.
Then I bought a Mac Pro 8-Core with 10.5.4 on it. I sold the 17" MacBook Pro. I used the Migration Wizard to move my user account from one machine to the other, but did a fresh install of all applications. (I've been an Apple tech for the past 7 years, and have various certifications. I know the user transfer process isn't perfect, but it should have the following results... read on)
Now, in Aperture 2.1.1 on 10.5.4 with all updates, PEF RAWs taken with K20D firmware 1.01 that were previously edited, manipulated, etc just fine on my MacBook Pro say "Unsupported Image Format" in a big reddish-black box when I try to view the master. If I switch to Quick Preview, it displays just fine, but is un-adjustable. Additionally, any NEW images I copy from my K20D show in the Import window as being 0x0 pixels (or occasionally 160x120 pixels) and will only show a tiny preview or "Unsupported Image Format." All PEF RAWs taken with K20D firmware 1.0 are just fine.
So here's what I've done:
1) Tested a fresh install of 10.5.4 on another HD in the Mac Pro. Installed Aperture 2.1, updated to 2.1.1. This should be perfectly clean. It gives the "Unsupported Image Format" error with any new images from my K20D. Copying the library from my other partition gives the same problems as described earlier.
2) Tested a fresh install of 10.5.3 on another partition in a Macbook Pro. Installed Aperture 2.1, updated to 2.1.1. Applied the Apple RAW update and iLife enhancements. It gives the same errors as before.
3) Tested a fresh install of 10.4.11 on another partition in a Macbook Pro. Installed Aperture 2.1, updated to 2.1.1. This worked perfectly for all PEFs and DNGs.
4) Took a month-old backup (from when everything was working just fine) of my Aperture Library and loaded it into all of the above configurations. Same results!
So what is the deal here? Aperture all of a sudden can't read images that it itself was able to edit a month ago? How come it works just fine in 10.4.11? This seems really messy. I have essentially lost a lot of the work I've put in.
I can use DNGs moving forward, but my past work is now messed up, and the DNGs are almost 75% bigger than the PEFs!
Anyone have any ideas for resolution or should I just call Apple?
Message was edited by: MonsieurBon

If it's any consolation, I had the EXACT same problem today; just opened Aperture 2 and my entire library of images shows "unsupported image format' -- the thumbnails are still intact but clicking on any image suddenly shows the red screen.
Same situation, these images were previously editable and accessible. We had a power outage an hour ago and initially I thought my library had crashed, but I was not actually using Aperture 2 at the time of the outage so I don't think that's the case.
Given the relatively sparse attention Apple gives to these forums, I don't expect there will be a quick response.
I have Leopard 10.5.4 installed, I don't have access to another version of the OS to see if I can get it work. If I'm not mistaken, wasn't there a series of Software Updates recently? I click on these without really checking the apps that are affected; could Aperture have been one of the apps 'revised' by the recent update?

Firefox for Mac preferences shows .qif file format for quicken as "quicktime image format"-wrong application and won't let me select anything else

Hello,
I previously used Firefox on my old Mac G4 with OS 10.3.9; the above issue existed with that system and Firefox 2.00.2 (or similar). I then "tried" to move to a G5 Mac with OS 10.5, hoping that an updated Mac Operating system and updating Firefox would solve that problem.
I'm now working on my son's MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.8, 2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo; 2gb Memory; 2 gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.
I still have a problem in Firefox Preferences trying to download .qif files. BofA Mortgage accounts only allow downloading of .qif files. My .qfx download works fine, but the error message is as follows:
The error message is that this is a corrupted file or one that Preview doesn't recognize.
and it is still a problem when trying to download Quicken .qif format files for our B of A mortgage.
The preferences for Firefox under File Helpers won't let me name the extension I want; instead, it CONFUSES .qif (Quicken Interchange Format) with .qtif (Quicktime Image Format) for Mac.
Therefore, when I download .qif files and try to import them to Quicken, I get a message that this is a corrupted file:
thanks for any help.
Val in Seattle

Well, in the end, I just gave up and deleted the photos, in the hope that it was something to do with them. Took some more photos and they seem to have imported without any problems at all.
Given that the same irksome photos loaded on the wife's macbook without so much as a murmur, how weird is that?
Still- all's well that ends well. Thanks for the suggestions- much appreciated.

PDF image format?

From what I understand, the PDF file format can contain text, vector graphics and raster graphics in many different formats. When I print to a PDF (via Save as PDF... in the print dialog box), what type of image format is actually used inside the PDF (which I assume is just a container format, really)?
Say I come across a full quality RAW file from a 10-megapixel camera. If I open that image in an image editor and then print it as a PDF, what ends up in the PDF file? Is it a JPEG? A PNG? Some type of otherwise unknown lossless format?
I assume the screenshot mechanism in OS X that saves to PDF uses similar technology. In that case, is a screenshot saved as a PDF better or worse quality than a PNG or JPEG (using a utility like TinkerTool to change the default screenshot format)?

Actually, it doesn't matter what you set on a folio level. The article settings override the folio settings. The folio settings are supposed to appear as the default when you create articles, but it doesn't work that way at this time.

Reduce size of custom images in Address Book

I love Address Book's wonderful integration with Mail.app, my iPod and even my phone. So, one day I decided to set custom images for almost all of my contacts - copying and pasting images into the fields.
However, afterwards, I realised that my 275 contact address book has ballooned from 2MB to 49.9MB thanks to the pictures. If I export the contacts into a Group vCards, it is an astounding 121.8 MB.
I feel that Apple should've limited the size of the pictures (automatically resize it just as iPhoto does for email and iWeb does for the web). However, this isn't the case.
Thus, my question is:
Is there a script or anything to reduce the size of those custom images? I am not looking forward to deleting the pictures and resizing them before importing them into Address Book. If there is an automated way of resizing the pictures, please let me know!
Thank you very much!

Hi mintchocicecream,
Have a look at this:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2271577#2271577
May be of no help, but sounds like you have larger that necessary files.
I do mot know of any script, short of a photoshop group resize that would work. Certainly nothing in Address Book.
Good Luck
John
