Export Images as Cropped in CS3?

We have produced a photographer's portfolio in InDesign CS3.  We now would like to take the images in the portfolio and prep them to go onto her web site.  Is there some convenient way to export all of the images from the portfolio file cropped as they are in InDesign?
Thanks much!

When copying the image from Indesign, does that capture the cropped high res linked data, or just the cropped low res preview?

IF you make note of the dimensions and effective resolution in ID, you can set those for the new file in PS before you click OK and you'll get the full res when you paste.

  • Indesign CS6 export images and text

    Hi there,
    I am looking for a way to batch export from Indesign files (with Incopy shared stories), text as RTF and formated images (cropped to the frames they are in) excluding bleed where full page is used. The RTF should retain "bold" and "italic". For images, I need to change the settings (colour management, size, pixels, resolution, file format, file name convention. Some examples of interfaces of some scripts I really love to use are down bellow:
    I believe a script that will have a combined interface features as the screen-shots attached would be so awsome for so many Indesign users.
    Thanks

    First, I appologize for being so vague in my post.
    @stephen0218. The extended feature I am looking for I would call it Indesign Export Extended, where this would give you way more options than it does now, to export elements, text, images, pages, selections etc.
    @[Jongware] They are 2 scripts (not plug-ins): first image is, as Vamitul mentioned, a screen-shot of Russle Brown's script for Image Processor in Photoshop. Tottaly agree, darn fantastic scripting work there.
    The next two, are screen-shots of batch-process script that Peter Kahrel wrote. The greatest Indesing script I found. Not to mention it's free too. You can still feel free to donate on his website:http://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/batch_convert.html.
    For an upcoming project, my need will be to be able to batch export from Indesing, the text as RTF and formated images (cropped as in Indesign) to a certain location.
    For text, I have to mention that the all the stories are shaded with Incopy users. So basically, Peter's script does this except, if text is part of an Incopy assignement, won't be able to check-out that story and grab it.
    For images, I need to export all the cropped images, with their original colour space, file name and size in pixels.
    This is the basic for what I need. Than I though that combining these 2 requirements, with the features and interface of the screen-shots above will be a huge asset for any Indesign user:
    - setting up the source location
    - destination folder
    - target format/file type
    - separate export options for each file format (for instance for images export: file format, compression, colour management, resize to fit, don't enlarge, file naming option etc).
    I hope this makes sense.

  • Colours change badly when LR2.5 image sent to Photoshop CS3

    When I right click in LR on an image and "edit in CS3" the image opens in CS3 with a horrible magenta and/or blue colour cast that is difficult to remove.
    I have set LR to export in AdobeRGB, and CS3 edits in AdobeRGB.
    This is new behaviour, since I got a Canon 50D but I assume this is coincidence.
    The effect is variable, worse on some images than others, so I can use no automatic workaround to fix the shift.
    It is ruining my workflow.  I've searched on everything I can think of in forums and help.
    - Win XP SP3
    - both screens calibrated with GretaMacbeth Eye-one
    I observe that:
    a) even the dialog boxes in the two programs have completely different colours, not sure if that is supposed to be so.
    b) CS3 says that my CS apps are not sync'd for consistent color.  I don't know what other apps I may have, or why this is so.
    Attached -
    - my external edit prefs and CS3 colour settings
    - sample image screen capture in LR
    - same image screen captured in CS3

    This seems to have died. I've answered a few questions but no responses to those reqested infos, and no answer forthcoming.Some responses suggest that my post has not even been read properly and the only suggestions made have been inappropriate to my posted info.
    Can anyone tell me how I get effective help for Adobe products?  I am more than jaded with the facts that:
    - Adobe software in general and Lightroom especially has almost useless help files/website.  Adobe seems to rely on a) 3rd parties and b) a collection of informal only sometimes professional often independent (uncoordinated) resources that are as disparate as they are confused to provide help and usage training.  The help available from "Help" menu item is incomplete and often, if not mostly, missing the point for which you are seeking info.
    - Adobe software including Acrobat reader (inside Firefox), CS3 and Lightroom are the ONLY softwares that crash my system or do not work reliably.
    - Adobe phone and email support is entirely, completely and fully useless for anything beyond certain standard problems.  The only offered solution to anything I've ever rung or emailed about has been "uninstall and re-install" after demanding enormous amounts of information that was probably irrelevant or ignored but consumed considerable effort and time to provide.
    -  when you DO uninstall and reinstall Photoshop, you find it is the only software I know of that routinely loses all your settings and actions in the process.
    - and so far, uninstall and reinstall has never resolved any Adobe problem on my machine.
    - Adobe more than any other provider seem to rely on new PAID upgrades as the suggested means of resolving bugs and other problems that are intrinsic to the software, and Adobe don't continue to maintain older versions.
    So - here I am with what is to me a serious problem, and I have no visible means of useful tech support.
    People like me are always being criticised on these forums for being cross and frustrated, with smooth talking smug folk saying that you'd get better results if you were polite.  The trouble is it is difficult to remain polite when you see no available solution, a lot of time taken up and no APPARENT determination by Adobe to provide support that actually meets people's needs, or at least people with non-standard problems.
    I don't believe I've been rude here, but it's now 4 days and I'm no nearer to solving the problem.
    Could someone suggest how to get effective help with this problem, or other problems from Adobe?
    Thanks

  • Workflow problems: Import selection, 9 keywords in list?, Exporting image attributes...

    I have a few problems incorporating Lightroom into my work flow.
    Is there a way to:
    Select recursive directories when importing photos from disk without
    a copy. Currently, I can only choose files directory(folder) by
    directory.
    Get more than 9 keywords in a shortcut list.
    Add photos from a previously accessed CF card to a catalog in a short
    time.
    Currently it takes about the same time as loading a card from scratch.
    Export image attributes to text file
    (filename followed by keywords, rating...)
    Basic principles of my work flow:
    1. Flash card is used until contents roughly matches the archive media
    size.
    This means a 1GB card fills to 700MB after deleting rejects, and
    a 4GB card will easily fit on a DVD.
    2. Photos on card are categorized and rated/rejected/deleted one or more
    more times while the card is being filled. This results in:
    -Copies of retained images to the categorized directory structure on the
    computer.
    -Rejects deleted from card, and not appearing on the computer
    -Category, and rating information for each image in an easily parsed
    list.
    3. Post processing is done and printing is done on highest rated images
    in each category.
    For example:
    Day 1: start with a blank 4GB CF card, and shoot 1.5GB for customers A and
    B.
    Customer A has 8 subjects a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h; Customer B has 12
    subjects
    a,g,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r. Note that some names for customers A and B
    are the same. That night, I delete rejects off the card down to
    800MB,
    and copy the saved images to the directory structure corresponding
    to each customer on the computer. Then a list is printed out to show
    an image+rating list for each subject. Notes are made for each
    "weak"
    subject, so I know who to focus on in the next day of shooting.
    Note I may have needed to do some minor post processing to determine
    rejects and rating.
    Day 2: I shoot 9 subjects for customer A: a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,s, and 12
    subjects for customer C: j,m,q,t,u,v,w,x,y,z,aa,bb. Similar culling,
    sorting, and copying is done to Day 1.
    Day N: CF card is full, so contents is written to a DVD, then card is
    erased.
    Day M: Sufficient counts of good images are obtained for Customer A, so
    Final post processing is done, and prints are made.
    My initial experimenting with Lightroom shows it has potential to streamline
    the above work flow, but a few key hurdles have kept me from implementing
    it. I have made some assumptions about the tool in the following description,
    so the best help for me would first to point out what assumptions are incorrect
    It looks like "import from device..." only allows a copy from the CF card.
    A copy would mean once images were rejected in the catalog, it would be
    out of sync. with the CF card. So "import photos from disk..." looks
    to be the only way to accomplish principle 1 above. *[minor problem a]* I saw
    no way to import the information from the CF cart recursively in this
    mode. I had to choose the files in groups one directory (folder) at
    a time. When I imported from device, I could grab the whole CF card,
    even though it did a copy. Note another reason I can't copy the CF card
    to the catalog is that the reject/delete operation would not free-up any
    CF card space for the next shoot.
    Rejecting, rating, and categorizing (with keywords) worked easily with
    Lightroom, but *[minor problem b]* it appears the keyword shortcut list is
    limited to 9 entries. Given customers can have more than 9 subjects,
    it would be useful if this could be expanded, even if I implement some sort
    of keyword hierarchy. I suspect the camera will complain about a bad file
    format if I change any of the files on the CF card, but it looks like
    the sidecar files on the computer disk allows me to "modify" images so
    I can get a correct rating without actu

  • How to maintain high resolution of exported images

    I am working with iphoto 5.0.4. When trying to export (share>export) an image as a 'Full Size' image (3264 x 2448 4.5 MB) to the desktop it appears at that size with 300 dpi resolution. However if I export the same file as 'Scale image as no larger than:' the resolution remains 300 dpi but the size is reduced to 2.4 MB while the dimensions remain the same. And finally if any cropping is performed or if I resize the dimensions of the image, the exported image will reflect the altered size but also the dpi is reduced to 72. What gives? Does that mean that the printed version will only print at 72 dpi? How can I create a smaller size image and still maintain 300 dpi resolution? I thank you in advance for your help.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   iphoto 5.0

    My first thought would be to remove the "Scale all objects ... " vi property.  I have been using LabVIEW for 10+ years, and I always found that function to work very poorly.  I never use it.  At least you could try removing that setting and see if your problem goes away.

  • Exporting images from LR

    If you set a resize-to  7" width AND 7" height, then landscape aspect images will be made 7" wide (with the height correspondingly less, depending on the shape of your current crop), and portrait aspect images will be made 7" high (with the width correspondngly less, depending on the shape of your current crop). In effect you are defining a "sizing box" that all output must fit inside; like that frame for measuring carry-on bags at the airport. You can alternatively set a 7" dimension to be used for the longer side, which amounts to the same thing; although if you also have selected a filesize limit, this particular selection might not work reliably (apparent bug).

  • Exporting images from LR3

    A couple of questions here:
    1. How can I export photos in JPEG form so they all have the same dimensions? When I export, then import them into Photoshop to batch process a watermark/logo onto them, the logo is placed in different spots on the image (both in landscape & portrait). I can only assume that I am exporting in different sizes.
    2. What settings should I use to export in the highest possible resolution? ie: in width/height dimensions and pixels per cm etc..?
    Hopefully this makes sense... Many thanks,
    Damian.

    Nobody really answered the primary question:
    1. How can I export photos in JPEG form so they all have the same dimensions? When I export, then import them into Photoshop to batch process a watermark/logo onto them, the logo is placed in different spots on the image (both in landscape & portrait). I can only assume that I am exporting in different sizes.
    2. What settings should I use to export in the highest possible resolution? ie: in width/height dimensions and pixels per cm etc..?
    You say, "I am using a 1600 x 1200 export resolution setting," but all DSLR cameras shoot in 2:3 aspect ratio. So that setting will give you landscape images with 1600 x 1067 pixels and Portrait orientated images with 1200 x 800 pixels. This may be part of the confusion with image size results you are seeing.
    To keep Landscape and Portrait orientated images the same size you need to set vertical and horizontal resolution to the same setting. In this case you would use 1600 Width and 1600 Height. As long as you used a crop setting of 'Same As Original' (2:3), all of your exported images will be 1600 x 1067 pixels. Just be careful how large you make the export resolution.
    If any of the image dimensions are cropped below the export 1600 x 1067 resolution and 'Don't Enlarge' is selected, these images will be smaller! Unchecking 'Don't Enlarge' will maintain your selected 1600 x1067 resolution, but image quality will suffer due to the upsizing interpolation process.

  • Problem with Export - Image Sizing

    Hello, I'm running LR3 on a relatively new iMac.  I am using LR to edit RAW photos from my Nikon D700 and one of the things I do is export to .jpg to put some photos on my website.  To do this, each photo must be the same width and height, or it causes issues with the website.
    For awhile, I was exporting images at dimensions of 960x636 with no issues.  All of a sudden, when I use the export feature, and put in the Image Sizing section the 960x636 resolution, the exported file is at a resolution of 956x636 and therefore is not the same size as previously exported photos.  I've tried changing some of the settings in the Image Sizing section (check/uncheck Don't Enlarge, Dimensions vs. Width & Height, etc.) and nothing seems to work.  Any advice why LR3 is overriding my image size settings would be greatly appreciated.

    When you specify the width and height on export, you are specifying a "box" that Lightroom will fit the image into. It will do the best it can, but if your cropped image doesn't have the same aspect ratio as the "box", then one dimension will be short. As an example, if you had cropped your picture into a square, how could Lightroom possibly completely fill a rectangle with it?
    You need to crop your images to the same ratio as the 956 : 636 that you're specifying on Export.

  • Image analysis with PS CS3 EE

    First off, I need to apologize if I am not very clear on this issue Im fairly math challenged and know enough about Excel to fill out a time sheet and make an invoice. If this kind of thing is up your alley, you are just what were looking for.
    We are attempting to use the image analysis tools in CS3 EE and Microsoft Excel to determine a number of things in order for a set of photo images to meet a given set of requirements. Most of this has to do with examining histograms and determining things like average pixel levels for each of RGB channels, % of pixels in a given range, and percentage of the image that is clipped. This analysis would be done on a random sample of files in order to show the client that the images meet their standards.
    Some starting questions:
    From what I see of the CS3 analysis tool, it seems to zero in on the gray channel information (perhaps this was developed for the medical diagnostic community) and Im wondering if you can export the same information (Gray Value Minimum-Maximum-Mean) for the R, G and B channels.
    Does anyone already have the Excel formulas for extracting this information for the Histogram.csv that is generated by the analysis features?
    This ones a bit murky - is there any method to calculate the numeric value of Contrast (the difference between the histogram reading at .01 and 99% and have that as exportable data?
    This one is more like a feature request (or is there another plug-in or other software to do this):
    Is it possible to view all three channels (RGB) with the same detailed histogram information as the main view, without having to toggle between the various bands?
    Anyway, I know this long and I appreciate your time. I will follow this post closely and if you think you can help Id be happy to go off forum with this.
    Thanks! TLL

    I'm envisioning doing this in AppleScript, and am assuming a histogram in JS is the same...
    >% of pixels in a given range
    Divide 256 by however many "range segments" you need. For simplicity, let's say 3: highlight, midtone, and shadow ranges. So (roughly) levels 0-85 are shadows, 86-171 are midtones, and 172-255 are highlights. You would iterate through each range of the histogram counting the number of pixels for that range. Divide each count by the total number of pixels.
    >percentage of the image that is clipped.
    The amount of clipping can be determined by how many pixels are dedicated to levels 0 and 255 of the histogram. If those levels have a high number of pixels, then you have clipping. You have to define for yourself what "high number" means, but in a "perfect" photo, you won't have pixels at levels 0 or 255 (pure white and pure black).

  • LR3-Library-Export-Image Resizing:  Specifying Pixel WxH results in different WxH - tips please?

    This is a multi-dimensional question (he he).  I understand my problem is related to the original/developed WxH ratio.  If the pixel WxH I spec in Export-Image Resizing doesn't match that developed proportion, the results are not what I want.  In other words LR3 keeps the original/developed proportion and not what I want for that export.  Ok, so I just answered my own question - but..... please give me some library or export tips for doing what I want to do.
    What I do:
    1 - I edit my images in RAW and like to keep them in their original proportions from my Canon camera as that is the proportion of HxW i use the most
    2 - Later, if the image is really good (at least I like it), I may export it for different purposes and then may choose or require a different proportion.
    3 - I would really like to not have to re-crop in Develop, then go back and Export, then go back to Develop and change it back to original. 
    Besides being tedious and time consuming, can anyone recommend a better way for me to do these "one off" exports (seems to happen more often lately) without screwing around in Develop and messing up my original work?
    Background:
    One of the reasons I do this is to create wallpapers for computers, for various printing/framing proportions, and then for web site situations.  Windows XP (and I think the others) gets really slow if the program must re-size an image for wallpaper (why? go ask Mr. Gates... better get in line).  So to keep performance high, it is best to create the image in the exact pixel dimensions of the monitor.  This is always some weird number and not like anything else I do this for.  The other reason is for a quick, custom print job for someone who wants an odd matting setup for framing (don't ask).  This results in odd proportions.  Regarding the web.... well smooshing a pic into a column etc. etc...    Now while I am proud of my art and understand LR3 will expect me to re-crop to preserve my artistic brilliance, but really..... I would be happy with a proportional crop from the parallel sides of the offending dimension.
    Also, when I spec a dimension, shouldn't the DPI gray out?  What am not understanding here?
    One last request: please give me tips on solving for world peace... this one really bugs me. 
    Thanx in advance! 

    Bruce,
    As you correctly noticed, the WxH ratio in export represents a canvas, into which the exported image is fit. Here are some illustrations on what the different settings mean:
    For what you are trying to achieve, you have to crop the image to the correct dimensions before doing the export. If I had to do it, I would create virtual copies of the original image as the last step and give each virtual copy its own crop, then export the virtual copies.
    Bruce in Philly wrote:
    Also, when I spec a dimension, shouldn't the DPI gray out?  What am not understanding here?
    The DPI resolution has no meaning for the size of the resulting image if you specify pixels in your export dimensions. But the resolution tag is written into the image, which might affect the way an image is printed, depending on the printing application.
    But if you specify your export dimensions in inches or cm, the resolution together with the dimensions in inch/cm determine the size of the resulting image in pixels. I.e. if you specify 5x7" and 300DPI, your exported images size will be 1500x2100 pixels.

  • Why are exported images (jpg) in LR3 so huge?

    I am importing jpgs into Lightroom 3, work on them, and export them as jpg again, with a quality settig of 100% (the rest of the settings are the default ones).
    The original, imported images are typically around 3MB in size, the exported images range anywhere between 6MB and 9MB!
    I tried mimimizing the embedded metadata, but that had only the slightest effect. The file sizes are huge even if I crop the picture in LR, which is even stranger.
    Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Any help is much appreciated!

    All I wanted was to save my images at the same quality level and roughly the same size during export as they used to be before I imported them into LR. I guess this proves much harder than I thought, and there is no definite answer.
    I don't think anyone actually answered your question directly! When your camera creates a JPEG file from the RAW image it uses a quality level that is selected in the 'Quality' menu as High, Low, or Medium, or something similar. You are using the highest quality setting and want to use the same compression level and resolution for exported images. Suggested procedure:
    1) Find a typical image that you have imported into LR and make sure all Develop settings are at default zero (0).
    2) Export this image using JPEG, sRGB settings, 'Limit File Size to' unselected, 'Resize to Fit' unselected, 'Sharpen for' unselected.
    3) Using the above settings set the 'Quality' setting and 'Export.'
    4) Repeat as necessary by fine-tuning the 'Quality' setting until the "exported" file size is the same, or close to the "original" camera file size. That may be a number such as 74, or whatever!
    5) You have now found the closest quality setting of LR's JPEG compression engine that matches your camera's! You can use this number with confidence, for any JPEG picture shot using that specific in camera 'Quality' setting (i.e. High) with that camera.
    Please remember that LR is a non-destructive editor and therefore never over-writes your original image files (JPEG or RAW). Your original files will NOT degrade due to any work done in LR. This is only an issue for exported JPEG copies that you continue to “resave” after opening in other applications. If you never have to “resave them, they will never degrade! If you need to do extensive work on a specific image outside of LR, use the “loss-less” TIFF file format in LR’s Export options. Yes the file size will be bigger, but you can select ‘ZIP’ compression to reduce the file size somewhat.
    A JPEG compression setting of 100 will not necessarily produce a "sharper" picture than a 70 setting. The biggest issue with JPEG compression is introduction of artifacts, which is well described and illustrated at the link PhotoGap provided. Also, keep in mind that full-size exports images are rarely viewed at 100%. For smaller enlargements up to 8” x 12” and when using resized exports for web posting, JPEG artifacts will be much less visible.

  • Error exporting images from Lightroom

    I have LR v1.3.1, for Windows on Dell PC with Intel Core 2 2.4Ghz, 2GB RAM.
    I am having problems exporting images I did some minor editing on in LR. Editing included cropping to 8x10 aspect ratio, some tone adjustments, and a few red eye reduction. I then attempted to export 112 images as JPG and I received an error that 77 failed to export. I attempted to re-export those 77 and they all failed. Then I attempted to export 51 different images and 38 failed to export. There is no explanation of what the error is. LR help doesn't shed any light on this. The Adobe knowledgebase doesn't have any similar errors.
    Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

    I am having the same problem with a Dell PC, Windows Vista, Intel Duo Core 2.4 and 4GB RAM. I am using LR v 1.3.1 as well. I tried to export 156 images to a SD card in a reader, and only 127 exported. There is no explanation why the others did not export, so I don't know how to fix it.
    Please help!

  • Trouble Exporting images in full size

    I can't seem to export an image with the original file size. I have reset the export image size to original jpeg settings and every setting I can find and it still exports a small low resolution file.

    The setting you are wanting to change is the "Size to" pull down menu,
    Original size is the original size of the file as cropped, uncropped you get pixel for pixel or if you happen to crop in on a small area of the image you will only get a small file.
    Fit within pixels, great for screen and video use, eg 1024x768 or 1920x1080 etc
    Fit within inches/centimeters, great for preset print sizes and creating different presets for different printers, eg. 10"x10" this is where dpi comes into effect.
    Percentage of original, smaller or larger.
    note that these settings do not crop the image or change a 2:3 image to a16:9 image, rather they constrain the image to fit within the dimensions. eg, I have an album of images to go to 5"x7" prints, vertical and horizontals, first I have to crop to 5x7, then I export to a preset that is 7"x7" @300dpi, this contrains the exported images to 7"@300dpi (2100pixels) on the longest side.
