Exporting vector based images

What is the best way of exporting vector based images from Flash so I can open it in Illustrator?
I frequently design basic vector graphics in Flash as I find manipulating shapes much easier and intuitive. Now with the upgrade I am finding this impossible to save out and it has really slowed down my progress.
Is there anyway whatsoever in achieving this as Flash is, after all a brilliant vector based programme?
Best regards,
Sam

Hi Sam-Rios,
SVG export is a Work in Progress for exporting out vector content from Flash CC and would be usable in Illustrator as well. This would be available with the next major update to be released shortly.
For now, you may try out a third party SVG exporter for Flash Pro:

Hope this helps!

Even vector-based layers are pixelated. Why?

The files I am creating in photoshop are all coming out very pixelated lately. Especially after I flatten the image or export it to a pdf. This is true even for text layers, eps files I placed, and vector-based objects I drew. The photo layers are pixelated too, even though they were hi-res to begin with and I only made them smaller when I added them to my document. Any idea why everything is so pixelated? I tried changing the file from 72 to 300 pixels/inch, but that didn't clarify the images. It just smoothed the edges a bit.

As Chris pointed out if you flatten you no longer have any vector graphics, To save your vector graphics you need to save in a layered format. PSB, PSD or Tiff.
You can additionally save different sized non layered image files from your layered document. When you use Image Size to resample you document to a different size vector layers like shapes and text will be resized using vector graphics and pixel layers will be interpolated using the method you set in the image size dialog or your Photoshop preferences interpolation method. It would be best if you use a tool like one of the Image Processor scripts to save these files from your Layer documents files so your layered files are not changed and over written. Some of the Image Processor scripts use Photoshop plug-in Fit Image to do the resizing. Fit Image uses interpolation method bicubic. The newer Image Processor Pro can be downloaded from Russell Browns web site once installed you will find it under menu File>Automate>Image Processor Pro. Its let you set which interpolations methods should be used for different output file sets.

Exporting vector graphics?

Hi,
I was wondering if there is anyway to export a project in motion as a vector movie or vector image sequence?
I want to be able to import projects from motion into macromedia flash without having to export it as a normal movie, as this would allow the flash movie to be scaleable without pixelation.
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) Powermac G5 / Dual 2GHz / 1GB RAM / 160GB HDD + 74GB Raptor HDD / ATI Radeon 9650

AFAIK, no - Motion is not able to export a vector based format...

How can I export an edited image to a file?

I can't seem to find a way in iPhoto 09 do this. Can I export an edited image to a file, keeping the edits intact, or do I have to use a 3rd party editing app when I edit from inside iPhoto 09?
I would prefer to use iPhoto's editing tools so should I import previously cropped images into iPhoto? If yes, what file should I use? I was wondering if anyone does this on a regular basis and if there issues doing this.
I like the editing tools in iPhoto very much. In other apps I have always cropped, resized, corrected levels and a bit of color. I am not a power user by any means and I am close to doing this all in iPhoto if I could only export the edited image to a file.
The reason I want to do this is because the printing portion of my work flow is to upload files to my merchant who prints them and are ready for nearby pickup within an hour. This is all done at a very reasonable price and the color accuracy is very close.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jim

You can edit from iPhoto by dragging to the desktop or exporting using the File -> Export command, setting the Kind to anything except original.
But you probably don’t need to:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Content-based image retrieval

I am doing a research project of content-based image retrival using oralce92. I am interested in using Oracle's content-based retrieval feature for images.Can anyone tell me more about how the feature vectors or signatures are created from the color, texture, and shape in an image? Is there any way to extract these feature vector.
Also, when two images are compared, the similarity measure is calculated as the score or distance between their attributes. What type of distance is used (e.g. Euclidean, Manhattan)?
Thank you

I am also considering CBIR for mu thesis work, but as far as I have done the first scan of literature, tools, ongoing open source projects and work of big companies in this area, now I have some impression that is is somehow the theme of past. There was nice Oracle8 extension (and also documentation) from Virage, but not it is hardly to find anything about this in their homepage. From the research point of view this can be nice theme - special algorithm, indices and so on, but - there can be problems with application. However - in thi first half of this year some guys from Google published nice articel of Visual PageRank and I guess - if Google will go to stand for this theme, then there can be some interest from big DBMS vendors as well.

How to change the colours of a vector patterned image?

Hello ,
I downloaded a vector , in both jpg and gif format today. I saved it down in Illustrator as a new swatch.
I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to change the colours in that vector/swatch?
As its jpg or gif , i am not sure whether it can be done.
Your help is much appreciated.

Just by way of hopefully-helpful general info:
I am not familiar with .eps....
Both EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) and PDF (Portable Document Format) are "meta formats." They are really not all that mysterous. Just think of them as mere "containers"--locked boxes which can contain any combination of individual vector-based, raster-based, and/or text-based objects. So merely saying you have an EPS or PDF file doesn't really tell anyone what you're actually dealing with, because saying that alone doesn't tell what kind of graphic objects the file actually contains.
Both EPS and PDF exist to "pass through" or "pass between" various softwares and/or devices graphic information which would not likely be "understood" if delivered in the native code of the program(s) which created the actual graphic objects.
Illustrator (like other similar drawing programs) is originally and primarily a PostScript-generating program for print. Both EPS and PDF are deeply related to PostScript. So programs like Illustrator can "unlock" most EPS and PDF files to get at the actual, individual objects they contain.
As already briefly mentioned, JPEG (Joint Photography Expert Group) and GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) are entirely raster-based image formats. They are just different ways to encode a single raster image in a compressed file. Both of them use "lossy" compression algorithms--to minimize the file size, they actually throw away data detail when they can. So they most often actually degrade the original (in what is hopefully "negligible" ways). So think of a JPEG (often shortened to JPG) or GIF as a single raster-based image object. A JPEG or a GIF are just two of the kinds of objects which may or may not be contained within an EPS or a PDF.
So you didn't receive "...a vector , in both jpg and gif format" because neither JPEG nor GIF can contain vector-based paths. JPEG or GIF is often used to serve as a mere rough preview of the contents of an EPS or PDF. In fact, EPS files very often contain a JPEG or TIFF (another raster-based image format) image to serve as a crude substitute preview for programs or devices which otherwise would be unable to display the real contents at all.
I downloaded a vector...
Saying "a vector" is giveaway beginner language. You didn't "dowload a vector." 'A vector' is 'a direction.' You downloaded a vector-based graphics file (but not as a GIF or a JPEG). Vector-based graphics are graphics consisting of mathematically-described curves nowadays most commonly (but not always) defined as cubic or quadratic Bezier curves. Cubic Bezier curves are the kind created by most programs like Illustrator.
So what you downloaded is typical of a stock-artwork provider:
The actual full-fidelity graphics content (objects) in EPS and PDF "containers."
Separate "dumbed down" raster images of the content in JPEG and GIF formats; usually provided so you can use them as temporary place holders or preview references.

Lightroom JPEG export VS Photoshop Image Processor

Hey guys:
Long time photoshop and lightroom user (long time user of all things Adobe). First post here in the forums. I did a search for my question but I think it was too specific, so it returned zero results.
My question is about Lightroom's JPEG export vs Photoshops Image Processor. When I export a RAW file to JPEG from Lightroom, the file size is freaking huge. The JPEG is as big as my original RAW file (~25mb). Settings are set to default - 100 quality. Everything else remains untouched.
However, when I use Photoshop's image processor (I launch it through Bridge, easier that way for me) and process the RAW images that way, my JPEGs are roughly 5-10mb in size. Settings in Image Processor are quality 10 and thats it. No actions being run or anything.
Can anyone shed some light as to why Lightroom exports JPEGs that are roughly 2-4 times the size of Photoshop's JPEGs? My initial thoughts are that the 100 quality setting in Lightroom is more like Photoshop's quality 12 (that always makes me think of Spinal Tap - "Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?" "These go to eleven.") Ideally, exporting out of Lightroom would be much easier for my workflow.
Thanks in advance.

You are correct: LR Quality 100 = PS Quality 12
Despite LR having 101 Quality settings (0 to 100) it actually only has 12 Quality settings the same as PS 'Baseline Standard':

I keep a small copy of the above table taped to my monitor. I chose the numbers under the 'LR' column for the 12 steps (not AA's) to make it easier to remember. In actuality ANY number in the LR Range column will produce the same results for each step.
Under the 'Typical Reduction' column notice the small amount of reduction for PS 6 (LR 47-53%) Quality setting. If interested why AND why you probably shouldn't use PS 7 (LR 54-61%) Quality setting see this post:

Did you verify the file type from Windows Explorer?
1) Right click on My Computer > Explore
2) Go to Tools > Folder Options
3) Click on File Types tab
4) Check if TSV file is defined there or not. If it is not there, click on New and add the File Extension

Any ideas?

My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images from Lightroom and choosing the "Render using Lightroom option when it popped up in the dialogue box. She has been doing this for over a year and a half without any problem. Today when she hit Command E no dialogue box appeared and the image just opened in Photoshop. I'm concerned that all of her Lightroom edits are not being rendered to Photoshop. Anyone have an idea as to how we can get the "Render using Lightroom" dialogue back?

Hi Ashley Clavette,
The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what exactly happens ? Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

Exported Raw Conversion Image Resolution and Assigning a Color Profile, etc

In Aperture 1.1, although I set the exported Raw conversion image resolution to 300 dpi in the preferences, it continues to come out at 72 dpi which is something of an inconvenience. Also, is it possible to assign a color profile to the "exported version" so that it is congruent to my PS CS2 color workspace (if that is what its called). Is this program capable of carrying out a conversion as a background operation? Finally, can the layout windows be configured so that they remember how they have been used in the past? Thanks.

Iatrogenic huh! Cool!
Anyway, I'm not real clear on what it is you are trying to accomplish. Despite your obvious vocabulary skills, there seems to be some disconnect relative to what you are trying to accomplish. You are right that "exporting a version" in Aperture is roughly equivalent to what happens in ACR when you "Open" a RAW image into Photoshop. In both cases you have, hopefully, already done the adjusting of parameters you want prior to "exporting", or "opening". When you "open" or "export" you wind up with an "image" composed of pixels, whereas in the RAW adjustment phase you are just working with a temporary thumbnail and a set of mathematical instructions. Big difference, I suppose is that when you "open" and image from ACR into CS2, the resulting image is truly just pixels and has not had a "file type" applied to the file yet, until you "save" it, while in Aperture, if you "export" a file to CS2, or to the desktop, you end up with the file type already applied. Presuming you "export" a 16 bit TIFF or PSD, there is no operational difference.
I could be wrong, but with the new Bayer Demosaicing algorithms in Aperture 1.1, and the Camera RAW adjustments, you should be able to come up with an adjusted image that is VERY close if not identical to one done in ACR, with the possible exception of lens abberation adjustment. I was very critical of the RAW adjustments in 1.0.1, but I am very happy with the capabilites in 1.1. That said, I think there is still some room for improvement in user friendliness of some of the adjustments such as Levels.

I just purchased Export PDF to Excel and it does not export anything usable. Your terminology should not be "export" but paste image, which is of no value. Please cancel my account and refund my money. What a shame you would advertise this as a product.

How can I export a full image from flash to jpeg?

Hi,
First of all hello to everybody.
Could somebody give a hand with this? I am trying to export a flash image to jpeg. I can do it but the image is cropped when I open it in photoshop. This is the original image (is is an screenshot and not exported with flash):
[IMG]http://www.flickr.com/photos/22338638@N06/4615821418/[/IMG]
And this is the image exported with flash (as you can see it is cropped on the right):

Why is the second image cropped?
I would really welcome any help.

Exporting as Dreamweaver - Images pixelated

I produced a 300+ page product catalog in InDesign. I needed an easy way to export all the high res .EPS images from the catalog to be able to put them on our website. I used the Export as XHTML/Dreamweaver option to get all the .EPS images converted into .JPG's. For some reason however, about 70% of the images converted to .JPG's appear very pixelated or at "screen quality". They are nearly unrecognizable. I have adjusted the settings in the Export options and it doesn't seem to make a difference. If anyone can give me some direction or maybe an easier way of exporting all the images out - that would be great.

Dont know what camera was used, the footage was given to me. The dimensions of the footage is 720X486. Dont know if that helps.

How to add byte[] array based Image to the SQL Server without using parameter

how to add byte[] array based Image to the SQL Server without using parameter.I have a column in table with the type image in sql and i want to add image array to the sql image column like below:
I want to add image (RESIM) to the procedur like shown above but sql accepts byte[] RESIMI like System.Drowing. I whant that sql accepts byte [] array like sql image type
not using cmd.ParametersAdd() method
here is Isle() method content

SQL Server binary constants use a hexadecimal format:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179899.aspx
You'll have to build that string from a byte array yourself:
byte[] bytes = ...
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder("0x", 2 + bytes.Length * 2);
foreach (var b in bytes)
builder.Append(b.ToString("X2"));
string binhex = builder.ToString();
That said, what you're trying to do - not using parameters - is the wrong thing to do. Not only it is insecure due to the risk of SQL injection but in the case of binary data is also inefficient since these hex strings are larger than the original byte[]
data.
