Digital image protection
What are other togs doing to protect their images online?
Obviously the baby stuff like adding a watermark layer in photoshop is useless and so is the "disabling right click in html" trick. I was wondering more about digital watermark solutions like digimarc provide
Would love to hear everyone else's views
(and apple, seriously you gonna fix the EXIF export bug in 1.1 or what?)
You can spend a huge amount of time and money adding speed-bumps but there really isn't a way to get around the fact that anyone who can see something can copy it (anyone who claims otherwise is at best uninformed). Just think about how much effort the music industry has gone to, how many thousands of lawsuits and the enormous ill-will they've generated simply to get us to the point where original-quality bootlegs are reported to be in circulation within a few minutes of hitting one of the commercial stores.
So - we're basically left with two options: figuring out how to make money without controlled distribution (probably by making it easy for honest people to stay that way by giving them faster and cheaper options) or simply not circulating anything valuable in digital format. It's going to be interesting to see how people combine the two approaches.

The HP Solution Centre has disappeared from my toolbar and we I attempt to open it with the program file I receive the above error
Hi ... I have the same kind of error message:
Parsing error in file C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\Digital Imaging\bin\hpqscloc\1033.xml
Have been searching for a solution, using different sort of key words, no luck so far.
Anyone here? Many thanks in advance. -
I use an Mac OSX 10.6.8 with iPhoto 09 to download digital images from two Canon DSLRs. Until the last week, there has been no problem whatever in launching the import procedure once the USB connection has been connected and the camera switched on. Now the process will not kick in at all for either camera. I can't find a solution through iPhoto help or from other sources.
Any ideas to fix? (I admit I have not tested the USB cable at this time).What does "kick in" mean?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result. -
Downloading e-pub with digital watermarking protection
Hi all; I always bought e-books for my Nook and successfully downoaded them. The format was e-pub with DRM protection. Downoadings are addressed to 'bought books' directory in Adobe Digital Editions and then they're readable on 'my documents' in my Nook. The last one I bought, was an e-book e-pub with digital watermarking protection. I don't know if different protection is the cause, but this time the downloading is automatically addressed to 'reading now' in ADE. This time the e-book is not in the list of 'bought books' (in ADE). When I disconnect Nook, the book is in 'my documents' list (of Nook), but when I try to open it, I only see the cover for a couple of seconds, and the page is reverted again to 'my documents'.
How to do? I can open it in ADE on my PC, but not on Nook. I'll appreciate any help!I moved your posting from the Workspaces forum to the Digital Editions forum.

What is the HP Digital Imaging Monitor? Does it apply to my OS, Windows 7?
What is the HP Digital Imaging Monitor? Does it apply to my OS, Windows 7? I want to delete the icon from the task tray (tool bar in lower right hand corner of screen) as I never use it.
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi,
Digital imaging monitor is a part of the HP software that communicates with your HP printer. This program enables you to read the inklevels, get an out of paper message, scan from the unit to the comuter and so on. Its not neccesary, but it will limit the printers use if you remove it.

New MacBook containsa form of digital copy protection - TRUE?
I was told that Apple's new MacBook lines includes a form of digital copy protection that will prevent protected media, such as DRM-infused iTunes movies, from playing back on devices that aren't compliant with the new priority protection measures.
The Intel-developed technology is called High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) and aims to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across a variety of display connectors, even if such copying is not in violation of fair use laws.
Among the connectors supported by the technology are the Mini DisplayPort found on Apple's latest MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air, in addition to others such as Digital Visual Interface (DVI), High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), Gigabit Video Interface (GVIF), and Unified Display Interface (UDI).
Apple has apparently acquired a license for the technology and is now using it across its DisplayPort-enabled MacBook lines to to prevent transmission of purchased iTunes content to devices that don't include support for HDCP.
Will this mean that if I purchase legitimate Video/Movies form Apple I will no longer be able to play them on Windows OS, PS3, XBox etc?, I hope not?ChrisFu672819227364 wrote:
Right you are guys, thank you so much for responding!
I found out today that if HDCP was my problem I would still be able to mirror my desktop onto my TV, ie my samsung LN32A450, but I can not. The adaptor works on many other things as I mentioned above but not my TV.
I have been speaking with Samsung today and they have no information about the issue other then sending a technician to my house to have a look and if it's not the TV's fault then I will be charged for the service.
So summary;
Apple = no advice
Samsung = no advice
MDP-VGA company = apple = no advice
Therefore I must trial and error it.
I checked for updated firmware for the TV, placed the file onto a flash drive and inserted into my TV driver was up to date .: no results also no updates for the macbook.
I went to futureshop and tried running my macbook on a samsung 450 series (same as mine) and a 550 series (next step up) and same thing, no video on the TV.
I then moved to a toshiba and it worked instantly, as well when I checked with tech support on campus they brought me to the campus computer store down the hall and we hooked it up to the toshiba in there and it worked right a way.
macbook +MDP-VGA + PC computer monitor = works
macbook +MDP-VGA + projector = works
macbook +MDP-VGA + toshiba HDTV = works
macbook MDP-VGA LG HDTV= doesn't work
macbook +MDP-VGA + samsung HDTV = doesn't work
I have been trying really hard to figure this out with no resolve and it's been terrible, If you guys can figure out this riddle you are doing better then me, Samsung, and Apple combined.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
oh and sorry for the comment about waiting for 10.6, I meant it would be brutal to have to wait for the next OS or replace my macbook again just to get this to work.
It might just be your Samsung TV being compliant to HDCP but not DPCP (Display Port Content Protection) which your Toshiba TV might be.

Colour in black and white digital image
how do i colour in a black and white digital image please. I have never used this programme before, so any idiots guide you can give me would be great.
Go to Image Menu>Mode and be sure that RGB color is checked
Open your image, duplicate the background layer, shut off the visibility of this layer by clicking on the eye icon, and work on background copy layer
Set your foreground color chip to red (I used this for the blouse)
In the tool box, activate the magic wand tool. On the tool's option bar, check "contiguous", and set tolerance to 40.
Click on the blouse. You will see "marching ants", indicating that the blouse is selected
Go to Edit menu>Fill selection and under contents use foreground color
Press CTRL+D on keyboard to get rid of the marching ants
Next I worked on the skirt with green foreground color, and repeated steps 2-5. And so on .
Note, that in order to get a clean selection you may have to reduce the tolerance setting. For the skirt-hem, I had to go down to 8 in each pleat.
Here is a partially completed rendition for your reference. -
Print vs. digital image integriy
The preview and the print of a digital image in my Library are distorted from the original image. In particular, faces are noticeably elongated. It gets worse when the image is cropped before printing. What can I do to fix this problem.

Transfer Captions, other metadata to iPhoto from Microsoft Digital Imaging
My dad has all of his photos in Microsoft Digital Imaging Suite and he is trying to get all of the captions (metadata?) transferred over to iPhoto. Is there some way of doing this???
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Does this suite write this data to the IPTC tags on the pics? If so, then get it to do that and that should work.

Dear expert
Is digital image correlation (DIC) algorithm for strain measurement implemented in Labview? If not, does somebody share Labview vi for DIC?
I found that several free version of DIC in the web but, there is no Labview version.
Does anyone have any idea on this?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.Digital Image Correlation is not implemented in LabVIEW as part of a toolkit or module at this point. This may be something good to suggest on the LabVIEW Idea Exchange if you're interested.

I cannot use scan functions on my Windows 7(64) PC . I have used the Print and Scan Doctor and have downloaded, installed and unistalled many times the newest drivers. The uninstall/install hangs up because a file (or more) is corrupted or missing. The last message referred to C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\HP\Digital Imaging\bin\hpotradd.dll. I think I need to install Digital Imaging to replace or repair the missing files and simply trying to install the newest drivers doesn't work. Is there an ability to download and install just Digital Imaging? I have the printer installed on a local network and the printer functions work fine on my Windows 7 (64) laptop.
Hi @Literal1
I would like to help you with your Digital imaging. The best think to do is perform a complete comprehensive uninstall and reinstall of the full feature software and driver.
Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box, type %temp%
Delete all files and folders from the temp folder. Choose skip if any pop ups appear saying any of the files could not be deleted
Download the software and choose to save as, save to desktop >PS_AIO_06_C309g-m_USW_Full_Win_WW_140_175-4.exe
After the software downloads and extracts, open the temp folder again, use the instructions from step 1.
Look for, and open the folder starting with 7z (Example: 7zS2356)
Open folder Util
Open folder CCC
If you have an HP computer run the L3uninstall.exe. If you have anon-HP computer run the L4uninstall.exe
When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
Follow these steps to reset the registry settings and options for Windows Installer.
Hold down the Windows Logo key on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box
In the Open box, type msiexec /unregister, and then click OK.
Hold down the Windows Logo key on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box

HP Digital Imaging Monitor Continually Pops Up
It's getting real annoying. The HP Digital Imaging Monitor continually pops up when the wireless c4385 printer is turned on saying "...is connected....is disconnected...is connected...." I've tried changing the power saving settings in Windows/System for the Root USB hub, didn't help. Tried shutting down the HP services in services, no help. Finally I just turned off the printer and then next time my mouse went over the tray icon it finally turned off and disappeared. What's going on here?
I have a similiar problem running ... Vista Home premium ..... I find when it appears that it is my startup menu .... remove from the startup menu.....In my case it wants to install the fax software for my all in on L7500 ..... Removing it from the start will only work if you go and install the fax software and leave the fax printer in your selections .... if you remove the sucker from your installrd printers because you do not want it or need it ... the message reappears ... in my case install the unwanted fax software then remove from startup quick start menu. Hope this helps.
