Export images from library module with borders

Lightroom has been a great help for organizing my images and preparing them for photo competitions, but it would be a lot more convenient if I had an option to add a border to some of my exported images.  Many competition judges demote images that have black content on the edges unless we add narrow (2 or 3 pixel) borders to the images.  You already do this for slideshow mode; the same feature in Library export would really be appreciated.  As it is, I have to export tiff files, then use a Photoshop action to prepare the bordered competition jpegs.

You can create a border in photo shop. You need to create it with a transparent background.  Add it to the picture in the print mode as a watermark.  Check the watermarking options and you will be able to create a preset. Choose your border in image options.  Your border file can also have text etc.  
You could also use photo-Edit in- to go to photoshop. Edit a copy.  Ctrl J - a new layer.  Add a layer style - Stroke - choose position "inside" and exactly how many pixels you want.  Hope that is descriptive enough. sounds like you probably know more about photoshop than I do.  I'm not familiar with a photoshop action
Good luck

  • Trouble Exporting Images from Lightroom 3

    I am having trouble exporting images from Lightroom 3 with my User Presets. Error Message: The file could not be written. (1). It has always worked in the past but I just bought a new Mac and had everything transfered to it. Everything else seems to be workin fine. Any solutions?

    Sometimes on new computers, the permissions in certain folders are not set up to allow you (the only user) to write files. It's worth a check.

  • Exporting images from the Captivate 5 Library

    I am able to export Captivate 4 images to a folder. I am able to export Captivate 5 images to a folder, but they cannot be opened with Fireworks or any other application I've tried. Although the file is a bmp, Fireworks says, "Could not open the file. Unknown file type." Am I the only one experiencing this problem?
    thomas

    Yes. I can right-click and edit a background in Fireworks, but what I'm talking about here is different. Captivate has long offered the option to export images from the library. This has been, and still is easy. The difference is that it doesn't work. The exported files are not readable.

    Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
    It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
    I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1  Lightroom is version 5.7  Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
    FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences

  • Exporting images from LR

    I want to export images from LR. But when I nominate a size - eg. portrait 5x7", images that are in landscape are resized incorrectly.

    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).

  • Since update to 10.6.8 can't export images from powerpoint and also other programs

    Ever since I updated my software to 10.6.8 I can't export images from Powerpoint or from a graphing software GraphPad Prism.  It's really frustrating.  I had no problems at all until this update. Is there any way to revert my version to the old OS 10.6?
    I can't work when I can't put images into illustrator!
    Thanks, AOH

    I just contacted Final Draft and they helped me with it. If you have FD and are going to upgrade an OS, Deactivate Final Draft first then re-activate it once the new OS is installed.

  • Extract / export image from Pages

    I have an image on a Pages document that I want to extract to save as the image only as a jpg.
    I've found the following link to an answer: Extract/ export images from a Pages document?
    But I can't seem to find this File Info option on Pages 5.5.2.
    Any ideas?
    Regards, Mel

    That instruction is for the version of Pages that works, Pages '09.
    And you are not using Mavericks.
    Before Yosemite it used to be possible to copy anything and create a new file in Preview .app just by going command n, but Yosemite now turns the clipboard into a low res 72dpi file, rasterising all text and vector content.
    Like every thing Apple does lately, Yosemite is a huge step backwards and undoes all the good work that went into OS X in the last 15 years.
    If the multiple items are all bitmap images, you can create a blank bitmap file in Preview:
    1. Make a simple screen grab of a white area anywhere in view with command shift 4 > drag over area
    2. Make that screen grab the size you want it to be under Tools in Preview
    3. Open your original images in Preview and Copy/Paste them one by one into the blank file, positioning and resizing as you go.
    4. Saving will freeze the final design as one image.

    Hi,experts,
    I want to finish webdynpro for abap program to read some photos from file system. I may make MIMES in the webdynpro component and create photos in the MIMES, but my boss doesn't agree with me using this way. He wish me read these photos from file system.

    Thanks a lot!

    Hello Tao,
    The parameter
       icm/HTTP/file_access_<xx>
    may help you to access the pictures without any db-access.
    The following two links may help you to understand the other possibilities as well.
    The threads are covering BSP, but it should be useful for WebDynpro as well.

  • Export image from smartform

    Hi Experts,
    For importing we use SE78 & upload image, How to export image from SAP to our presenation server?
    In Smartforms, I have an image in color, it need to be downloaded for further modificatons.
    Please give me useful solution for it.
    Thank you.

    Hi i think you cannot download pictures loaded into SE78, the only possiblity(iam not sure) is to print the image from SE78 into a PDF file and then copy the picture into some image editing tool like MS-Paint.

  • Pull image from library with AS3?

    Hello, I'm a fairly experienced AS2 programmer transitioning
    in progress to AS3 programmer. I'm using Flash CS4 as my IDE with
    Actionscript 3 and Flash Player 10. I'm working on a bigger project
    but the area I'm struggling in is dynamically pulling an image from
    the flash library (already loaded). I've been finding the same
    answers to my question all over and they seem to keep producing the
    same error so apparently I'm just not getting some little detail. I
    have an image loaded in the library called test1.jpg. I've right
    clicked on it and selected 'Export for ActionScript' and 'Export in
    frame 1'. The class is 'MyMc' and the Base class is
    'flash.display.BitmapData'. My code is attached.
    and it produces the following errors:
    quote:
    1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 2.
    1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type MyMc to an
    unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.
    What is the deal. I've posted on other forums and get the
    same reply. I'm really struggling with why CS4 is acting this way.
    AS3 is proving very difficult to transition to.

    Alaskan57,
    > The MyMc name actually came from a tutorial I was
    > trying to follow... they were using movieclips but I
    > wanted to adapt their tutorial to Images
    Makes sense. :) And again, the name *as a name* (as a
    string) doesn't
    really matter, but it's always important to consider what
    sort of object
    you're dealing with, whether by inheritance or not, because
    they all have
    their own unique characteristics ( ... otherwise they
    wouldn't be different
    types of object!).
    > Yea, I remember learning AS2 and how difficult it was...
    > but AS3 I think has that beat as I'm not very familiar
    > with OOP programming in general. But I'll get there :)
    You will; it just takes time. Everything I know is something
    I scraped
    from online tutorials, read from books, or asked of friends
    on IM.
    Eventually, the principles of OOP finally gelled in my head.
    To me, OOP is
    more about organization than anything else. It's not
    something magical or
    mystical (which took me a while to believe!) ... it's just a
    way of
    arranging code into reusable nuggets called objects. Each
    object is defined
    by its class, and generally speaking, classes organize their
    functionality
    into properties, methods, and events. Those three basic
    categories refer
    respectively to characteristics the object has, things the
    object can do,
    and things the object can react to.
    > Thanks for your explanations... I learned a lot!
    Glad to hear that. :)
    > BTW, you said I did not need to import the
    flash.display.*
    > class.
    That's only true when you're dealing with timeline code. In
    custom
    classes, especially in AS3, you have to import just about
    everything. But
    if you're in a keyframe of the timeline, you only have to
    import classes
    outside of the flash package (such as, for example, the fl
    package, which
    tends to hold components; the air package, which holds AIR
    APIs, etc.).
    > Is there some online information that would go into more
    detail
    > about why I should import a class or why I wouldn't need
    to?
    imports are required when Flash needs to know how to define
    the objects
    you're referring to. If you're using 3rd party classes, like
    TweenLite,
    then you would need to import those packages/classes ...
    because Flash has
    no idea what a TweenLite object is without that information.
    In custom
    class files, you have to import everything that isn't a part
    of the core
    functionality (that is, anything that isn't a part of the Top
    Level items
    listed here ...
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS3LCR/Flash_10.0/index.html
    > I've been wanting to try out TweenLite as well as other
    classes but
    > can seem to figure out this whole import when I need to
    thing.
    It certainly doesn't hurt anything to import packages; it
    only "hurts"
    when you fail to import a package that needs it, so to play
    it safe you
    could import everything. Just bear in mind that anything that
    truly needs
    importing must be imported for every frame in which you refer
    to that
    package's class(es). If a keyframe in your timeline
    instantiates a
    TweenLite object in frame 10, you'll have to do the import
    there. You
    should be able to *use* that instance in any frames after
    that, even without
    another import. If you then decide to instantiate *another*
    instance in,
    say, frame 100, you'd have to re-import the TweenLite class
    in frame 100.

    Thanks for the purchase!

  • Moving images from library to library WITH Faces information

    Ok.
    iPhoto 09/faces
    Can someone out there tell me, first off, is it even possible to move photos from one library to another library WITH all the Faces effort I've put in on those photos (say from my default library on my hard drive to another person's library on an external hard drive)?
    That way they don't have to be rescanned and then I have to go through and correct the crappy scanning effort that the program did all over again.
    I tried exporting/importing, straight copy, etc. with no dice.
    I don't want to keep having to re-correct all the faces in images I transfer between libraries.
    "Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi....You're my only hope!"

    For folks out there here is the results of Terrence's suggestion (which was a good one BTW, I don't want to dump on him - it was good thinking on his part! Thanks Terrence).
    iPhoto Lib Manager still ***** (on my system anyway - iMac OSX 10.5.6).
    I installed the thing and tried moving 1000 photos with faces info organized nicely - no dice - it crapped out.
    First make sure all the permissions are set properly and the library mounts automatically (under the options). Then it will at least ATTEMPT to copy everything (also edit prefs to reflect all the metadata that goes with the photos like faces info, dates, desc. etc).
    But while thing appear to go well, it craps out at the end leaving you stymied. It re-scans the imported images and the faces data does not come through in the end despite it's trying to do so.
    I tried it with 80 photos, just to make sure I wasn't trying to fit 20lbs of manure into a 10lb bag. Same story with the smaller transfer
    If I go any smaller, I may as well have used the public version (free) which limits you to 20 at a time.
    So bottom line - according to my experience - if you and someone else have the same photos in your separate libraries and want to share the effort one of you puts into organizing faces info - you're hooped/screwed/pooched!
    Nada - diddly - bupkiss!
    VERY DISAPPOINTING! Both the iPhoto 09 AND the failed (but valiant) attempt by iPhoto Lib Man.
    Should've stuck with iLife 08 and lived with it...sigh.

  • When exporting images from iPhoto library to Aperture 3 library the highlights go red and the shadow area goes blue.  This happen to all images in the Aperture 3 library, why?

    For some reason all the images in Aperture 3 library have had their highlights go red and the shadow area goes blue.  I can correct them one at a time with contrast control.  This just happen on its on after I uploaded MOuntain Lion.  Now when I go to transfer images from iPhoto this happens.  The images are all right in iPhoto but this is not the case with Apeerture.  I have 15,000 images in Aperture 3 and I can't afford the time to correct them one at a time.  What is it that I did to cause this problem?

    You have "Highlight Hot and Cold Areas" turned on.
    Toggle this on/off from the View menu.
    Thresholds are set at "Aperture➞Preferences➞Advanced".  (I have mine set to 100% ~ it's not clear what the scale is.)
