Exporting a jpeg in background thread: ID CS5

Hi All,
I am working on a plugin for CS5 and CS5.5, My plugin requirement is that it should export a document to pdf and jpeg format on background thread, On looking into CHM I found that there is a article "Asynchronous exports, Multithreading" which says that only IDML and pdf are the two formats that can be export in background thread.
Is is possible eto export a document in JPEG format on bakground thread? if yes then should I need to follow aproach mentioned in chm article "Asynchronous exports, Multithreading" or there is some other way to do it.
Please help me to find out a way using which I can achieve this.
Thanks
Alam

topfuelmaniac,
I believe the issue will be solved if both the artwork and the Artboard are aligned with the pixel grid.
The Transform Palette has the option Align to Pixel Grid.
The artwork may be off, and if so, it is better to align it properly than to snip off parts to fit the size it should have from the start.
If you have portions of the artwork, such as parts of strokes, outside the Bounding Box, you may have to rethink. You can turn on Use Preview Bounds in the preferences to see the real size to be exported.

No longer able to export in JPEG-B

I have this vexing issue that I cannot figure out. I can no longer export as JPEG-B. It has vanished from the list of available formats to export to. I have tried deleting the preferences and restarting the system. But no luck. Anyone have any suggestions. Or have a similar problem.

Picture has noise after export to JPEG

Hey guys,
I am using Lightroom 5.2 64bit version on my windows. After I export my raw in to the jpeg it has noise. But in the develop module it hasn´t. Also it has got a little bit noise in the library, but it´s the same picture. Where is the sense?
Here are some pictures of that problem:
1. The finally edited raw picture which I want to export.
2. The view from the library, you can see a little bit difference on the quality compared to the view from the develop module.
3. The jpeg after the export.
4. My export settings.
I don´t know what to do! I´ve googled a lot but nothing found.
Please help me and post any ideas.
Lovely regards

I have the same problem (OS X). Exporting to jpeg results in poor quality. This is a problem I didn't had with previous versions.
I took a look at the other threads which are mentioned here and effectively, the 1:1 view looks exactly like the jpeg export.
But this would be like looking at a 5x6 meter poster from two inches distance, which makes no sense. If you look from a 1 meter distance,
it is logic that you will see a bit less noise, things will look smoother.
This really is an issue. I always had an export and a print that looked exactly like how I saw it in 'fit' view in develop screen in previous versions.
It is completely stupid to be obliged to work in 1:1 mode for developing photos as this is the only option from what I read.
The image ont the left is a screenshot (apple+shift+4) from a jpeg export, 72 dpi, 1288px large side.
The image on the right is a screenshot (apple+shift+4) from a screenshot (apple+shift+4) from de the dev screen in LR, 'fit' view mode, 72dpi 1288px large side.
Both have a different size here because I didn't draw the same sized rectangles when taking the screen shot.
As you can see, there is a lot of noise that I don't see in the dev screen. The screenshot on the right is almost exactly what I see, except that it is a bit less sharper
due to jpeg compression, but it still is a better result than the compression of Lr itself. Should I process like this now instead of using export????
I loose sharpness but it has an overall neater look. The jpeg export is really crappy!
I did used a tiny bit of noise reduction and sharpening (23 - 22 respectively) and this has been shot at ISO 800, 5D miii.
The crop applied in Lr is maybe 8-10% so really not much. I avoid cropping as much as possible.
I updated to 5.3 and issue is resolved for me

Repeating colored background in Adobe CS5....why ????

OK, I have a very interesting question for you experts out there:
After doing a blue-screen shot, I wanted to put just a flat color as the background and fade from one color to the next as the subject acts in front of the blue-screen.
I made the colors in Adobe Photoshop using an old image and just painting it over with whatever color I want. After making several, I went to add them as the background in Adobe CS5 and it worked fine.
The problem I encountered is this: When I put the first color background in (let's say brown), then I go to add another colored background from the same source file where I stored all the different backgrounds, it keeps bringing up the "brown" background again. It says it's the "pink" background, but it shows brown and drags into the scene as brown. No matter what I do, even putting the original brown background into a different source file, it keeps bringing up the brown one again and again.
Very strange dilema, and I have no idea how to solve it.
Do any of you guys know what the problem is? Have any of you run into this kind of thing before? Is there a solution?
It can't be the computer or CS5 'cause they're both brand new, so it's obviously ME not knowing what the hell I'm doing......
Thanks for any help and advise.

I have not seen an issue with JPEG's, BUT... I seldom use them, and I do not have CS5 installed yet. As Colin mentions, there does seem to be a glitch (?) with some JPEG's.
Glad that the TIFF's work for you. When doing almost anything in PS, that will go to Video, I keep the format PSD, and will either Import as Footage, if I don't care about my Layers (this will Flatten the Layers), or as a Sequence, should I want the Layers. In the workflow that you outline, I'd probably create the one Image (good move to set this up per the Frame Size of the Project, BTW), and just do a Layer for each "background." Then, I'd Import as a Sequence, and just drag each Layer to the main Sequence, as needed.
The suggestion to use Color Mattes is also a good one, though if one wants a different look, than just a flat color, PS can allow all sorts of creative functions/Filters to alter that color from "plain-vanilla" to something "other worldly."
Good luck, and thanks for reporting that the TIFF's work for you!

What could be causing the errors above?

Hi aivoryuk,
According to your description, you get the lazy writing error when processing partitions. Right?
In this scenario, the issue may cause by low memory for SSAS and lack of disk space. Please consider configure
Server Properties (Memory Page) and increase
memory setting for SSAS. If the .cub file is located in C drive, please reserve more disk space.

How do you monitor a background thread and update the GUI

Hello,
I have a thread which makes its output available on PipedInputStreams. I should like to have other threads monitor the input streams and update a JTextArea embedded in a JScrollPane using the append() method.
According to the Swing tutorial, the JTextArea must be updated on the Event Dispatch Thread. When I use SwingUtilities.invokeLater () to run my monitor threads, the component is not redrawn until the thread exits, so you don't see the progression. If I add a paint () method, the output is choppy and the scrollbar doesn't appear until the thread exits.
Ironically, if I create and start new threads instead of using invokeLater(), I get the desired result.
What is the correct architecture to accomplish my goal without violating Swing rules?
Thanks,
Brad

Thanks for pointing out the SwingWorker class. I didn't use it directly, but the documentation gave me some ideas that helped.
Instead of using invokeLater on the long-running pipe-reader object, I run it on a normal thread and let it consume the output from the background thread that is running the system command. Inside the reader thread I create a tiny Runnable object for each line that is read from the pipe, and queue that object with invokeLater (), then yield() the reader thread.
Seems like a lot of runnable objects, but it works ok.

Raw files saved to jpeg via bridge but now some jpegs won't open in CS5

I saved Raw files to jpeg via bridge but now some of the jpegs won't open in CS5, they only open in bridge? How do I get them to open up in photoshop instead?

I'm not quite sure of your workflow, but here's a couple of things to try:
1. Make sure the folder to be batch processed contains only JPEGs.
2. In Bridge, go to Camera Raw Preferences (not Bridge Preferences) and change JPEG and TIFF Handling to Disable JPEG support. This should ensure that all JPEGs open directly in Photoshop.

Failed to export the JPEG file

When I attempt to export a jpeg from InDesign I get the following error message, please help:
"Failed to export the JPEG file: File cannot be written.
Disc may be locked or full."
The disc it is writing to has 90Gb of memory free and I've tried knocking the quality of the export down with no success.
I am running CS6 on a fully updated Macbook Pro.
Thanks.

I'm trying to export to the hard drive on the Mac as usual, and have never had this issue before?

InDesign CS6 "Failed to export the JPEG file. File cannot be written. Disk may be locked or full."

I get this error "Failed to export the JPEG file. File cannot be written. Disk may be locked or full." when sending small (3"x3") and large (40"x60") files to a printer hot folder. Sometime if I close the program and restart it will let me export. What could be causing this to happen?
I am on Windows 7 with 4GB RAM PC.

I guess the printer is grabbing the file before it is entirely written…
Workaround: Do not save to a hot folder. Move the files after exporting to the hot folder.

[CS2 AS] Export as Jpeg... image missing in the output.

Hi,
I'm using alot the export as jpeg feature as a validation helper while doing batch processing (for quality output, i have used export as pdf and rasterisation in photoshop... require more processing, but it give more reliable output).
So with the base export, i'm having a odd problem where on other machine the some images are not exported appropriately (some appear with a white strippe and other completely blank).
I have not found documentation on this but i'm pretty sure that the export is done from a low-res preview, so i suspect that that my script processing make the export before indesign has completed some document display refresh.
I tought that i could use a arbitrary delay, but i find this solution quite inconvenient as it make the process slower and not completely deterministic.
Is there a equivalent call to "recompose" that would let me be sure to call the export when the display refresh of the document is done? (if i remember well, i have tried forcing the document quality display to maximum).
Thanks for any ideas! :)

After editing camera raw and export as jpeg,image becomes overexposed when view on light room..please advise.

need some help here. don't know if i can describe this accurately.
i was using lightroom previously. edit my raw file and then export in jpeg. everything appear normal as what i wanted.
recently i got cs4 and started using bridge. now after i edit my photo in lightroom and export,the view of the jpeg file appears overexpose(exposure was increase) and when view on adobe bridge same problem. but if i open photoshop and use my workspace colour setting everything is ok. when i see my picture on iphoto it is normal as per i have edited. i just don't know what setting i have touch that cause my viewing of edited photo on lightroom and bridge goes overexpose. on bridge,thumbnail ok but preview bad...
for the record: i just install CS4 and snow leopard recently. before this i have no problems with LR. I'm also not sure if i have accidentally change any settings.
i shoot with a 5D mark 2 and use the raw file for edit.
will appreciate any advise. Thanks

but when I try and open it again in Lightroom ( I see it in Library) I get a mesaage saying file not found...Please help
We're going to need a lot more details aobut exactly (EXACTLY) the steps you follow after you do the export, because normally I would say this is one of the easiest things possible in Lightroom. Are any files moved or renamed or disks unplugged in between the time of export and the time when you try to edit again?

Background threading + batch file processing

Hello,
I have 2 issues in the same project.
Issue 1:
I have a project accessing the Object API. I've created a DLL assembly using VB.NET. This assembly is instatiated from a VB form and one of the functions is called using a background thread worker from the from. This code runs normally when NOT running in the background worker. However running in the background worker throws an exception. I have attached some sample code. To test it would will need to create the an interop for the Object API compenent for GroupWise. It ws too big to attach here. My apologizes for that.
Issue 2:
In the same project using the same assembly, I am calling the application from a batch file. Again the code runs normally from the debugger, but running the batch file throws an exception instantiating an instance of the Application object.
If anyone can shine some light on these issues that would be great.
Thanks

Hiroto, no I didn't have it checked. I don't know why I was able to get as far as I did but enabling access for assistive devices didn't change anything. I am able to emulate /almost/ any keystroke, except the up arrow, which normally allows me to move up in the "file type" selector button. The script below is ... functional ... except that it forces me to save each file as a 58MB uncompressed .tiff, and it refuses to respond to the "close front window" or 'keystroke "W" using command down' scripts. Getting through 300+ files this way will eat up my memory and hard drive in a matter of minutes. I suppose I could '$sh kill ####' from terminal if I could find the window process, but this is getting really hoaky!
THIS SCRIPT OPENS AND SAVES FILES, BUT DISALLOWS ANY TYPE SELECTION OR CLEANUP

repeat with aFile in sFiles
tell application "Preview" to run
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Preview"

keystroke "S" using {command down, shift down}

end tell
end tell
end tell
