Field Switching on imported jpegs

Hi There
I have imported a few tgas and jpegs into an FCP seq. On these I have cropped and done motion effects. When playing the sequence we find that there is a shimmer on detailed highlights. Also when advancing field by field, one field is sharper than the other creating a pulsing effect.
How do I swtich my FCP to show both fields when sitting on a frame.
We have tried many combinations in both seq settings, render control and playout options.
My final output is to PAL DVCam and these problems are magnified on a television monitor.
Please help
Cheers

Resolution of Imported jpegs, especially with text, is terrible.

I'm importing jpegs built @ 1280 x 720 pixels. In the viewer the text is crisp, but when it's put into the sequence, it loses all quality. I'm not sure what my sequence settings should be on. Under Sequence settings I've been using "DV NTSC 48 Khz Anamorphic" .I export using quicktime conversion using the "best" settings.
Thanks

Not sure how or where to make that happen. To create a sequence that's 1280x720, would that be under easy setup's, "HDV-Apple intermediate codec 720p30?
I'll eventually be exporting video to be placed in an html document with a flash player.

Unable to Edit Imported Jpeg files.

I'm currently using iPhoto 9.6 and OS 10.10. I have created jpg stills from .mov projects using QT Pro and imported them successfully into a previous version of iPhoto where I was able to crop them and make rudimentary color and exposure adjustments. With the new iPhoto 9.6 I cannot. I get an error message "Image Cannot Be Edited. The original format is not supported."
So I am assuming the only way to edit these imported jpegs is to open them in Lightroom or Photoshop make my adjustments and then attempt to re-import them into iPhoto or maybe just stop using iPhoto all together for this kind of file?

Yes "master" copies of files - those located in the iPhoto >>package contents >> Masters folder organized by import date - once they have been edited from within iPhoto (exposure corrections, cropping, straightening, etc) become the master copies.
Bewilderingly vague. They are the masters. They are never edited. The photos are edited and the results recorded in the SQL database. The never "become the Master copies". They are the Masters and never become anything.
To prove this I have selected a master file from with this directory and created a copy of it on the desktop where I gave it a new name, then re-imported it to iPhoto and re-opened it there. It is a virtual clone of the original edited file - edited from within iPhoto save for its name - an "edited master".
If you made a copy of a Master then it's not a virtual clone it's an actual clone. "It is a virtual clone of the original edited file" Huh? What's an "original edited file"? It's a Master or something else? Which is it? There is no concept in iPhoto of 'edited Master'. There are Masters. That's the file as imported from your camera. It is never edited. End of story.
Subsequently from within iPhoto I have chosen the original photo - the one that had been modified to begin with - and reverted this file to its original version. So then I had two masters of the same shot - one edited and one in its originally imported state. Why did I do this (and originate this post)?
No you didn't. You had two masters to begin with and thereafter you had two masters at the end. When you reverted to original all you did was delete the edit decisions for the database and destroy a preview. In no case was the Master touched.
The terminology is important because it explains how the app works. You're conflating photos (which are edited in iPhoto) with files (which are never edited in iPhoto), all photo edits are virtual until baked in on export. That's why the concept and the term Master is important. Edited Master means nothing, Master of an Edited Photo does, but that's a different thing.
Because I could not re-edit or export these affected photos unless I first re-imported them to iPhoto by either locating the original files from storage media or making copies of them from iPhoto's package contents>>masters folder as above and importing them back into the iPhoto library. Once I did this - there were a lot of these affected files - I could edit and export to my heart's content. Remember, these files were modified from within earlier versions iPhoto itself. Yes, some files had been converted to jpegs from original PICT exports out QT Pro using Photoshop Elements.
Because your database was corrupted. It has nothing to do with Masters/Versions or anything else. It was broken.
How do I explain this apparent corruption of the iPhoto library database? Disclaimers to the contrary, I put the onus on having to convert the db every time there is an app iteration which is sometimes coupled with an OS upgrade (like with Yosemite). I suspect that the file metadata is susceptible to corruption during these upgrades. It is the only variable in an otherwise static and stable environment that could possibly result in library corruption short of hardware failure.
That's one possibility. Here are some more: anytime the app is interrupted writing to the database - by a crash, hang or even a power surge, bad blocks on a disk - there are many possibilities..
And again, there is no need to convert the db "every time there is an app iteration". There are updates when it is not necessary. And, as I keep on saying, OS upgrades make no difference. It's app upgrades only.

Imported JPEG images are too light

Imported JPEG images appear lighter/brighter than the scanned image.
How can I make JPEG images appear with the correct lightness/brightness so they look like the actual book or magazine from which they were scanned?
Using Apple's "Preview" to look at a JPEG- everything looks fine. But when a JPEG is imported into Motion 4.0.3 (and/or Final Cut Pro 7.0.3), the image appears lighter/brighter, as if it's washed out. To see if this is just the way a JPEG appears in Motion and not how the finished product will be, I exported a Motion project with one or more JPEGs as a QuickTime movie. The QuickTime movie does not bring the JPEG image(s) back to the "correct" lightness/brightness as the scanned image.
Settings used:
JPEG image, using a CanoScan LiDE 210 scanner, Color Space: RGB, Color Profile: sRGB IEC61966-2.1, current Monitor Gamma setting on the scanner is set to 1.80
How can I make JPEG images appear in Motion (and Final Cut Pro) so they are true to the source from which they were scanned?

Does it do the same thing when you use TIFFs?

IMPORTING JPEGS -- THEY'RE COMING OUT WASHED OUT

I have been trying to import jpeg images into final cut and in the process of importing them Final cut is slightly changing the images so that they're washed out, people's faces look overexposed where they didn't in the originals. I've tried resizing the images and importing smaller ones since the originals are very large but that has not helped. PLEASE HELP! Thanks.

Any luck in altering the Gamma settings of your imported JPEGs within FCP at all?
In case you don't know how to do that, check out the Late-Breaking News for FCP 5, then jump to the section on FCP 5.1.2 (which is when those features were introduced) or, as of this post, page 12.

Imported JPEG causes ptroblems when publishing

Still have problems with publishing a FLA with an imported
JPEG as a
background.
It is published OK several times and then on athe next
attempt to publish it
slows down and throws a message that the computer run out of
virtual memory
and will take it from some other processes. This takes a
couple of minutes
nd then the resulting SWF is about 10 times the size it was
before and shows
no backgrownd.
The JPEG is still in the FLA, but it is empty.
I delete is completely, import again - same story - compiles
well only
several first times.
Tries it with other JPEGs - same result.
Without JPEG thisfla compiles without problems
The JPEG in question is a photo taken by low resolution
digital camera, 1276
by 958 pixel and 330 K

The size of main fla file in which I am importing the image
is 2.5Mb
Version of Flash is 8, AS version 2
I cannnot see file size abnormality here.
The most puzzling is that after I remove and re-import the
image it compiles
well several times? before the problem repeats. It looks like
something is
accumulationg over repeated publishing.
Or my code might have some hidden side effect which does
something with the
image

How can I color a black and white imported jpeg?

I am new to Illustrator, and have been watching MANY videos, but just cannot seem to figure out how to color the B&W photo I imported into Illustrator CC. Do I need to do something in Photoshop first? Am I missing a step? I was able to trace the image but from there I am lost. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

How can I color a black and white imported jpeg?
In case you don't want to trace it first:
-> it needs to real Greyscale. Not just desaturated RGB
-> Do not save it via Save for Web in Photoshop.

I purchased Lightroom 5, loaded it on my Mac, and updated to version 5.6. I then tried importing photos from my Sony DSC-RX100iii. Unfortunately it only imports JPEG files but no RAW files. What is the problem and how do I fix it?

Than LR should have brought in the RAW files as well. ACR is the RAW
processing engine used by LR under the covers so anything not supported by
ACR would not be supported by Lightroom.
Are you shooting RAW plus JPEG? By default, Lightroom will stack then
unless you tell it not to. Check to see if there is a small badge on the
preview that looks like two sheets of paper with a number. That is how
Lightroom indicates a stack. You can unstack them by clicking on the badge.
There is also a menu item to stack/unstack photos. Otherwise, I would have
to research but not sure why Lightroom would ignore the RAW photos but
still import the JPEGS.

Import JPEG files become corrupt

I'm making a slideshow and when I import JPEG files, a large quantity of them will import, but on the display they show up with lots of green, blue, and purple highlights...in fact, thats about the only colors you see. I can't find anything wrong with the files, they open in all other CS4 apps just fine. I tried different methods of importing and reimporting but it doesn't change. The same files still show up all corrupt. I opened the files in Photoshop and saved them again as a JPEG and it's still the same problem.
TIFFs are the same way.
If I open the photos in Photoshop and save them as PSD they work just fine (other than the much larger file size) and PNG files work fine as well.
I have several hundred photos to put in this very lengthy slideshow so I'm looking for a fix without having to batch all the files to save as PSD which will each up my hard drive space.
Thanks!
John

I am a big fan of keeping images in .PSD format and ascribe to John's suggestion. I even did an ARTICLE on automating the resizing in PS, prior to Import. While primarily written for use with an NLE (where I create the vast majority of my SlideShows), the same applies to Encore.
Good luck,

Color space conversion problem when importing JPEG's

Hi,
I'm currently playing with the trial version of LR. While importing JPEG's with different color spaces (sRGB and Adobe RGB) to LR I've noticed a strange effect: There is a small but noticable difference in color, depending if the JPEG was previously saved in AdobeRGB, or sRGB. All the images I've tested so far should not contain critical colors that exceed normal sRGB. When opened in CS2 both versions of a JPEG, AdobeRGB and sRGB, typically look perceptually identical, no matter if I leave the sRGB image to sRGB, or convert it to the working space (AdobeRGB). Also my color-managed image viewer behaves as it should. So I don't think it's a matter of the different color spaces.
Looking at the imported images in LR I would say that the AdobeRGB image is correctly converted while the sRGB image suffers from a slight reddish cast, most noticable in skin tones. The effect is not as strong as if I would load the sRGB image into CS2 and skip color conversion to my working space (AdobeRGB).
The sRGB versions of the JPEG's were obtained from the AdobeRGB JPEG's using CS2 for conversion.
Anyone else here experienced a similar problem? Is this a bug in the xRGB-to-ProPhotoRGB conversion of LR, or a feature?
/Steffen

Hi Uli,
thanks for pointing me to your thread. I followed the discussion with great interest. Actually, I think the effect I am describing here is of different nature and a LOT stronger, at least for the type of images I've tested.
I did some more experiments yesterday with interesting results:
1) When I export a processed RAW from LR to JPEG or PSD, no matter what Color Space (I tested AdobeRGB, sRGB and ProphotoRGB), and re-import those JPEG/PSD's to LR, they look absolutely identical to the RAW I started with. Also, at first glance, they look similar when opened in CS2, but only because I tested with color images. I can indeed see small differences when testing with B/W, as you described in your "Color management bug" thread.
2) When I change the color space of an PSD or JPEG inside CS2 (I used the default setting 'relative colorimetric') and save it to JPEG and then import this JPEG to LR, colors are far off. The strength of this mostly reddish color cast depends on the color space of the imported JPEG, strongest for Prophoto, less strong for Adobe and sRGB. Interestingly, when I convert the color space inside CS2 and save the result to PSD, it will display correctly when imported in LR. Another interesting side effect: the thumbnails of LR-exported JPEG's in the "Open" dialogs of CS2 and LR (I guess those are not color-managed) show the typical color-flatness for the Adobe and even more the ProPhoto version. For the CS2-converted JPEG's, all thumbnails look just a colorful as the thumbnail of the sRGB version.
3) Such an image which doesn't display correctly in LR will keep its color cast when exported again to a JPEG (not sure about PSD). So something goes wrong with the color conversion during the import of such CS2-converted images.
My explanation so far is that CS2 uses a slightly different way of coding the colorspace information in the metadata of JPEG's which somehow prevents LR to recognise the color space correctly.
Can you confirm this behaviour?
Steffen

Aperture not showing (just black) newly imported JPEG files

RE: Aperture not showing newly imported JPEG files.
In fact its just black instead of the actual image. (see attached screen shot)
When double clicking on this - i.e. to go to the edit mode, the image then appears.
If I return to the viewing screen without changing anything to that image it remains black.
If I make any kind of change to the image, the image will appear when returning to the viewing screen.
Aperture seems only to have started behaving like this after update to OS X 10.10 (Yosemite)
I have the latest Aperture 3.6
Latest Digital Camera Raw 6.00 Build 761.5 and Digital Camera Raw Support 6000 Build 131.1
RAW files (taken with same camera) are displayed without any issues.
JPEG image files have been taken with a Sony RX100
JPEG image files taken with the same device imported into Aperture before OSX update to 10.10 have appear to have no issues
I cannot say if JPEG files taken with a different device have similar issues.
All files have been been reprocessed to latest edition of aperture
I have had other issues of other types of files (i.e. TIFF output files 'unsupported image format' behaving oddly including inconsistent behaviour after having been processed by 3rd party aperture plug-in's - although this has now largely been solved.
I remember having similar issues of files behaving strangely in Aperture after last update to OS X (Mavericks) - forget how this was solved - but I'm pretty sure it was not an issue involving JPEGS
Many thanks

...this sounds very similar to the problem I had on a previous aperture update and I had a similar issue - to that - with the .tiff files output from RAW files and an HDR plug-in.
In the first instance, I cannot remember for sure, but maybe it was something to do with not having the latest RAW File update for Aperture specific to that latest Aperture Update and specific to a Sony RX100 (or it could have been a Nikon d700).
I found the RAW file update - I'm not sure it was being made available from the App Store - and everything was fine.
With the more recent issue, I'm pretty sure this was resolved by updating to the latest Photomatix HDR plug-in.
So I'm just stuck on the issue with the JPEGs now.

Unable to see or import jpegs from photo cd

I am trying to import jpegs from a photo cd prepared by a photo store when having my film processed. The cd is recognised and I can see the folders and the actual jpeg files but cannot view photos or import into iphoto. Is there any way I can access or import these jpegs?
Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Hi, Charlene. You might try copying all the jpegs from the CD into a new folder on your hard drive, and then importing them from that folder into iPhoto. If that's successful, you can then trash the folder containing the copied jpegs, since you'll have them in your iPhoto Library and backed up on the CD.

IPhoto crashes when I try to import jpeg files

I am trying to import jpeg files stored on the internal hard drive of my iBook G4. The jpegs were created in Photoshop Elements. I have imported such files before in previous versions of iPhoto. However, when I try to do this using iPhoto 6.0.5 the program crashes. I have tried several different photos each with the same result. Any ideas? Thank you .

Does this article help?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304487
Try setting the colour profile with Preview on one or two to see if that helps. If it does, then Old Toad has created an Automator Workflow that you can use. Simply drop the affected files onto the icon and it will embed an sRGB to the files. You can download the workflow from here:

In L/R 3, is there a way to import JPEG's only when you are shooting RAW + JPEG?

In LR3 is there a way to import JPEG's only when I am shooting RAW + JPEG -- say in the case of being on-location and I want to create a quick slideshow without importing the large, slow RAW images? (Shooting only in JPEG is not an option -- wedding photography.)

The answer in short is no....but...if you separate your images before import then they will be imported as desired. You could import to LR and rename or resort or put in quick collection and separate jpeg from RAW and then put them into a separate folder. As an aside, shooting jpeg +RAW seems duplicitous since LR "sees" both formats. To my mind...I work as a professional retoucher...just shoot RAW since it is just as fast as jpeg in capturing images, and you have the freedom to adjust the images uncompressed. Then import the images as RAW into LR...if you truly need jpeg for something like sending to a client, simplt export them as jpegs via the Export dialog. Your original RAW images are unaffected!
