Extract thumbnail images from a cache file without originals?

After an external drive crash, I'm left with only the Bridge (CS2) cache files for a folder full of images. Does anyone know a way to extract the thumbnails from the cache as jpgs or some other standalone format when you *don't* have the original image files? They would be low-res, but better than nothing. Thanks in advance.

>>says that this export technique does not work, it produces a low res screen version of the file.
Are you certain the original files were any better?
My preferred method of doing this works well, but it takes a few extra steps. I'd make a high-res PDF out of the PM file, then pick apart the PDF to extract the graphics. Are the graphics raster or vector? If they're raster, you can use Acrobat's Touch-up Object tool to open them in Photoshop. If they're vector, you can open the PDF in Illustrator and save out the graphics from there.

Figuring out how to extract images from a PDF file

Hi,
I'm trying to write a small app that extracts all images from a PDF file. I already wrote a nice parser and it works good but the only problem is that I can't quite figure out from the reference how to decode all images in a PDF file to normal files such as tiffs, jpegs, bmps etc. For now I'm focusing on XObject images and not dealing with inline images.
From what I understand so far just by trying and looking at open sources I figured that if I see a XObject Image with a DCTDecode filter, taking the stream data without doing anything to it and saving it as a jpeg file works. But doing the same to FlateDecoded streams or CCITTFax didn't work.
What is the right way to properly extract the images?

In general you have to
* decode the stream
* extract the pixel data
* use ColorSpace, BitsPerComponent, Decode and Width to unpack pixel
values
* reconstruct an image file format according to its specification
There are no other shortcuts. The DCTDecode shortcut (which doesn't
work for CMYK JPEG files) is just a piece of fantastic good luck.

How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

Hi Keith, and all others chiming in, I do have the correct option checked in advanced settings telling iPhoto to copy the images into the library. What is a refernced library? Perhaps this is where I am getting confused. I exported my entire photo library from an old iMac5 to my external hard drive, from there I attempted to import the entire library to my new iMac. Am I overlooking an obvious and easy way to import from the hard drive to the new iMac--I dragged the entire photo pholder from the hard drive to the open window of iPhoto on the new computer. Now, I only get preview file sizes in iPhoto, unless I have my external drive open. Perhaps I need to import the original images from the hard drive in a different way...?! (This is making me feel pretty stupid.)

Which programs if any can extract the image from existing QTVR pano file?

Any ideas?
Thank you

Unless you can find an open source ODBC driver for SQL Server that runs on Solaris (and I wouldn't be overly hopeful there) Heterogeneous Services would require that you license something-- a third party ODBC driver, a new Oracle instance, or an Oracle Transparent Gateway.
As I stated below, you could certainly use SQL Server's ETL tool, DTS. Oracle's ETL tools would require additional licensing since you're just on 9.2. You could also write a small application (Java or otherwise) that connected to both databases and transferred the data. If you're particularly enterprising, you could load the SQL Server Type 4 JDBC driver into Oracle's JVM and write a Java stored procedure that connected to the SQL Server database via JDBC, but that's a pretty convoluted approach.

Extracting Linked images from PDF

Good afternoon,
I have a PDF which I created in illustrator but unfortunately I had a problem with with my computer which meant that the recovered files were corrupted. I found a PDF on disc which opens in Acrobat just fine but when I open it in illustrator it asks for the linked images which of course I do not have.
The linked images must be in the PDF as they show up ok.
Is there a way of extracting the images from the PDF so that I can do a repair in illustrator?
Hope someone can help.
Thank you,
Kirk

If you have photoshop, open that pdf from it. File/open, then chose images...
Another option, if you have Acrobat Pro, go to Advanced/Document procesing/Export images

Best way to extract all images from Messages?

My iPad freaked out earlier today and unfortunately I had to do a recovery and restore (from iCloud backup). I say unfortunately because I was 90% certain I was not backing up photos/video (and there was no way to check before doing the restore). And indeed I had photo/video backup turned off.
I'm mostly back to normal now, except for all the lost photos/videos. I've gone through some of Messages to Save ones I sent there.
What is the best way to extract all images from past Messages so I don't have to tediously load earlier messages? I understand there are some programs that allow one to go through a local backup and go through messages. But for this I suppose I'd first need to make a local backup of everything, no? Are those programs able to extract just images I've sent or do they grab everything (i.e. images others have sent me?)
Related, before I did the initial restore could I have easily retrieved the photos/images on the device through some third-party solution?
Lastly, and semi-off topic.. What determines the image name for an image in Messages? For example, I Copied a photo someone sent me via Messages and Pasted it three times back to her (all at the same time). The image filenames are IMG_6447.jpg, IMG_4820.jpg, IMG_0291.jpg.

Thanks Kirby. I utilize Aperture 3 by reference instead of a compiled library. So I have individual folder/projects stored on my laptop. By exporting as a library, does Aperture bring these folders and related images "with it"?
What I don't want to lose is any post processing I do in the field which creates separate versions and/or .PSD files.
Thanks for your continued assistance.

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.

How can we get the artset from a .ai file without opening it?

Hello All,
I have one .ai file, lets say sample.ai file. located in C drive. so the complete file path is "C:\Sample.ai".
and lets assume the sample.ai file has one traingle shape(3 path type arts) in it.
Now I want to get the 3 path arts (artset) from sample.ai file without opening it in AI.
The function protoype is like below
AIArtSet& artSet GetArtSetFromAFile( ai::FilePath& filePath );
Is there any API like above function in AI? or is it possible to get the art(s) from a file without opening it in AI?

Not to my knowlege. The API only operates on active documents as far as I know.

How can I use Automator to extract specific Data from a text file?

I have several hundred text files that contain a bunch of information. I only need six values from each file and ideally I need them as columns in an excel file.
How can I use Automator to extract specific Data from the text files and either create a new text file or excel file with the info? I have looked all over but can't find a solution. If anyone could please help I would be eternally grateful!!! If there is another, better solution than automator, please let me know!
Example of File Contents:
Link Time =
DD/MMM/YYYY
Random
Text
161 179
bytes of CODE    memory (+                68 range fill )
16 789
bytes of DATA    memory (+    59 absolute )
1 875
bytes of XDATA   memory (+ 1 855 absolute )
90 783
bytes of FARCODE memory
What I would like to have as a final file:
EXCEL COLUMN1
Column 2
Column3
Column4
Column5
Column6
MM/DD/YYYY
filename1
161179

90783
MM/DD/YYYY
filename2
xxxxxx
xxxxx
xxxx
xxxxx
MM/DD/YYYY
filename3

You may try the following AppleScript script. It will ask you to choose a root folder where to start searching for *.map files and then create a CSV file named "out.csv" on desktop which you may import to Excel.
set f to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the root folder to start searching")'s POSIX path
if f ends with "/" then set f to f's text 1 thru -2
do shell script "/usr/bin/perl -CSDA -w <<'EOF' - " & f's quoted form & " > ~/Desktop/out.csv
use strict;
use open IN => ':crlf';
chdir $ARGV[0] or die qq($!);
local $/ = qq(\\0);
my @ff = map {chomp; $_} qx(find . -type f -iname '*.map' -print0);
local $/ = qq(\\n);

Stream-in images from client to server,without running the transmit code

Hello all,
Im using JMF for my current project.Right now,I am trying to only recieve images from the client without the client transmitting it.That is I dont want the transmit code to run on the client.
I should just be able to stream in the images from client to server, without running the transmit code on client.
Can this be done?
Thanks in advance

You'd just need to write an application that doesn't have a GUI (so, a console-based application) that listens on some pre-determined port for a message to start broadcasting. Maybe you'd send it the IP/PORT number to start broadcasting on. Once it receives that message, it'd start broadcasting the web cam to the IP/PORT number until it received a message to stop. Once it stops, it'll just go back to waiting for the next "start" signal.
<Side B>
On the other side, you'd write an application that sends the start messages, receives/displays the videos, and then sends the stop signal. This will have a GUI, and be your "control program" so to speak.
Then, once of have both of those programs working...if you're using Linux, you're done. If you're using Windows, you'd need to modify the <Side A> program so that it can run as a Windows service.
There are a lot of ways to do this, you can google it or look at the following link:

I saw Corey Barker do a demo where he extracted an image from the background, then cleaned up the edge with a process that allowed him to de-fringe it. I can't remember how he did it. And I can't find it. Help!

I saw Corey Barker do a demo a few weeks ago where he extracted an image from the background, then used a technique I was not familiar with to clean it up. You selected the area, then did something that involved going either to edit or select, then there was a dialog box that allowed you to dial it in, depending on the color background you were removing. I can't find this anywhere. Can't remember. It's driving me crazy! If someone can help me find this, I would be very glad and grateful. Thanks! Laura

In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

Extracting an image from WebBrowser

I want to extract an image from WebBrowser and I don't want to download it because some server don’t let download to non-browsers.
Does method for this operation?

First of all you need to get the image url. To retrieve this you can use Regex, or HTMLAgilityPack or etc.
than you can download it from the url of the image as:
public static void DownloadImageWithWebclient(string url)
try
string filename = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(new Uri(url).LocalPath);
var _client = new WebClient();
_client.DownloadFileAsync(new Uri(url), filename);
catch
There are many alternative ways of downloading such as non async.
Also, you can set webclient headers and useragent to responde to the target website as a browser in order to avoid being blocked your request.
