Finder - Image Dimensions column

Hi I have thousands of files I am organizing and want the image dimensions in column view. You can do this on windows 95 how come not Mac OS X (which I love)!??
Can somebody tell me how to do this - it would be a lot of help!
Thanks

Alas you cannot have it ALL ways...
Column view is basically a cleaner version of List view - without any of the file information visible at a glance. If you click any item shown in column view - the preview to the right should show the dimensions at the bottom, along with other data.
If you want to see all of the dimensions at a glance, you can set them in Icon View. I have the View Options for all of my folders that are full of images (which is the bulk of my folders, as I am a designer) set as below.
Double-click on the folder containing the images
Click on the Icon View thumbnail at the top of the finder window
Go to View / Show View Options
Select "Always open in icon view"
Slide the "Icon size" all the way to the right (to 128 x 128)
Slide the "Grid spacing" all the way to the left (to keep them grouped close together)
Select "*_Show item info_*" (*this is what you are after*)
Select "Show icon preview" (if this is not selected)
Select an option in "Arrange by" (this will sort / arrange them after the changes)
Select "Use as defaults" at the bottom, if you want this to be the default settings for any folder that has been set to Icon View.
This setting shows me everything I need to see quickly, and allows me to bypass the Cover Flow view, which I love - but it is only useful on the odd occasion for two reasons:
1.) It doesn't play friendly with all of my image files, it usually looks horrible (BIG deal breaker!)
2.) If I am looking over a folder FULL of images, I can usually find what I am looking for quicker by using the overview that Icon View allows, rather than flipping though the images one at a time.

Finder- Image Dimensions from External Hard Drive

I have found many QAs regarding people needing to see file dimensions from Finder, and they fixed it by re-starting or CMD-J to select "Show Item Info." My Finder shows dimension from all folders directly on the computer; but when I plug in my external hard drive, nothing I do will show the dimensions from images and files saved in there. For instance, I freelance for a company and keep all of that work on the external- when I'm browsing the folders for the various images I've saved, I need to see the dimensions. Often times I end up dragging them into PS to see. Below are images of what I see- Device and Finder
Why would this happen on external devices? I run Mavericks 10.9.2 on a Macbook Pro.

Hi
Thanks for your suggestion.
However , right clicking opens PSE 9 (not editor) and this does not work.

Finder image dimensions

Seems like I am first poster on this issue.
I have a Directory with images.
I select one, then see the info pane.
The Dimensions information is always missing, just 2 dashes (Dimensions --)
It is not until I do a Get Info that the Dimensions appear.
ie. Dimensions 6 x 14
Anyone else with the issue?
Needs fixing.

Sorry, here is another thread.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1332802?start=30&tstart=0
I found it under similar content, although I always search first before posting.
btw, re-indexing to get dimensions. ugh.

Column view in Finder does not display image dimensions

Image dimensions display a -- when browsing in column view. If I view info on the image it appears. If I move off the highlighted image file and go back it disappears again. I have looked into the spotlight solution and do not have any folders listed under Privacy. I am running 10.7.4 and all updates are current.

Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences folder and trash this file:
com.apple.finder.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again.
(You may have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

Finder doesn't show image dimensions

Hi!
I have a problem with image dimensions in Finder. Finder doesn't show image dimension info in preview column and Get Info window. But when I open in Preview app I can see dimensions in Get Info window. How to solve this problem. If I want to sort images by dimension, I can't do that. Because Finder doesn't know image dimensions. You can see images below.

Terence Devlin wrote:
That's because the Finder is a file manager and works from file metadata. The data you're seeking is about the file contents. You need to use a Photo Manager or Browser.
There is someone who can sort images by dimensions and see dimensions in list view. Also if Finder will not show image dimensions, why give me "Dimensions" and "Resolution" option to select in list view.

Launch a Finder window. Press command+J, and set Show Item Info. Now the image dimensions will show below each image icon. If it is a movie, then the duration of the movie is shown.
I have done this. But doesn't show information.

Image dimensions problem

Hi all,
All I really want for Christmas is a fix for this problem (in reality, a small issue, but one that is making me seriously consider returning to the dark side...)
Because I use several different systems, all my files are stored on NAS drives (and backed up onto other NAS drives). My primary device is a LaCie 1Tb 2big Drive running RAID1. I've noticed a problem though; the finder window doesn't return image dimensions for these files - or files stored on the backup NAS drive or even the media drive (also another NAS drive). If I copy them to the local drive, immediately I see image dimensions. My default View is by Columns, but any view profile fails to show image dimensions. I've also checked that none of the network drives are within Spotlight's privacy area, but they are not.
I've just spent 30minutes on the phone to Apple Care and they can't come up with a solution, so I'm opening it up to the wider community. If it needs 3rd party software to make this work, that's fine! I'm getting desperate now as it's slowing my productivity right down. I'm also struggling to understand how even Win XP can manage this just fine, but OS X trips up?
Anyone?
Cheers,
andy

Displaying Image dimensions

Hi,
I work with images all day and it would really convenient to view image dimensions (width x height) in a column in Finder's list-view if possible or maybe in Quicklook.
I checked out the 'SneakPeek' plugin but it only works on JPGs, not PNGs GIFs etc..
Is there any workaround? It'd save me a lot of time.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Like Jim, I also generally use Icon view for folders containing images, and have the View Option to show item info selected. Column view will also show image dimensions (both of these work, provided the folder has been indexed by Spotlight).
If you want to see the dimensions, but also want to view the folder contents in List view, the best you can do is bring up the Inspector (Command-Option-i), expand the More Info section, then move down the list using the arrow key. The Inspector pane's contents change with each new selected item, and the More Info section includes the dimensions.

Image dimension limitations in Photoshop Elements?

I'm trying to find out what the maximum image dimensions are for Photoshop Elements 8.0
I know Photoshop CS increased the previous limit of 30,000x30,000 to 300,000x300,000.
According to this page, PSE 5 and 6 were limited to 30k:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402760.html
Yet according to this page, PSE 5 can reportedly handle 300k:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333456.html
I'd like to upgrade from Elements v4 to v8, but one thing I need to ensure is that it can handle >30000px images, otherwise I'll have to go for CS5...
Can anyone give me a definitive answer, please?

When you installed the plugin(s), the installer should have created a folder in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Image Trends Inc\Hemi 1.0
Go to the Hemi 1.0 folder and copy the three plugins that don't say x64 and paste them into the pse 11 editor plugins folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\Plug-Ins

Spry dataset problem. Image dimensions with css

Hey guys.
I'm new to spry, and not an experienced web designer with beginner knowledge in programming.
I am using a spry data set to make a blog kind of interface. I'm using a master/detail layout from the Dreamweaver presets. I am using html, not xhtml and dreamweaver cs4.
I want to change the dimensions of the images in the detail container. I would like to use the max-width command. I have tried using an id tag on the image detail column and using the width command on it with little luck.
How can I do this. Using css is a must, because I'll be using InContext Editing so other users can upload images and posts. So they won't have to worry about the dimensions.
Thanks alot.
Helgi

Hi again,
Several points that can help more:
1. If you are working with Dot.Net, then I highly recommend read the first link that you got! This is nice and simple coding. Another option is this link which is even better in my opinion:
http://www.dotnetgallery.com/kb/resource21-How-to-store-and-retrieve-images-from-SQL-server-database-using-aspnet.aspx
2. As i mention above both link use the column's type image. There are several other option of working with Files. In most of my applications architecture I find that it is better to use a column which let us use any type of file and not an image column.
In choosing the right column's type for your needs basically your fist question should be if if you want to store your data inside relational database environment or outside relational environment. It is a good idea to look for blogs on this issue. Next
if you chose to store your data inside then you need to chose the right column type according to your server version. I highly recommend to look for blogs on the differences between those column's types: IMAGE,

Image Dimensions not showing

This MAY be a Photoshop CS3 issue, so forgive me if it is, but I can no longer see image dimensions in the (Leopard) finder. The problem seems to have started when I upgraded to Photoshop CS3, but I upgraded to Leopard just a few days prior to the CS3 upgrade. If I look at images that were already on my hard drive before Leopard, the dimensions appear. Any new images I save via Photoshop no longer have dimensions appearing in the finder preview area.
Edit: This definitely appears to be a Leopard issue. It appears that ALL new images, no matter which program saved it, do not have dimensions attached. I opened a jpeg with Preview and saved it as both a jpeg and a png, and no dimensions appeared.

I was doing a lot of graphics stuff the other day, for many hours, and noticed that the things I had just saved were not showing the pixel dimensions in the Finder. For me simply selecting the image in the Finder caused the dimensions to appear. You might also try a restart, then open a folder with the new images and see if the dimensions are now present. Also had a bizarre result in Cover Flow where several newly created images all displayed as being exactly the same (all looked like the first image created). In that case a force restart of the Finder brought things back to sanity.

Image dimension in cm or picca or inches

is it possible to get image dimension in cm or picca or inches other than pixels. I tried with Imagero but it gives only in pixels. Is there any package to get in cm or picca?
Thanks,
Thanuja.

ok i got ur point.
so formula is
inches=pixels/dpismall clarification. I got the pixel value of the image. Is it possible to get the dpi of an image as well? If so then using the above formula i can
easily find out the dimension in inch right.
am i clear or going wrong somewhere? for the first time iam dealing with this images,dpi,inches and pixel sort of thing. Only now i understood what dpi is.
and one small clarification
have visited ur site http://balusc.xs4all.nl/srv/dev-jep-fil.html . Fileservlet really helped me. but when i navigate other links in ur site like java tutorial the content is not in english. its something like the below
In deze Nederlandstalige Java tutorial wordt uitgelegd hoe het object geori�nteerde programmeertaal Java in elkaar steekt. Java is een krachtige platform-onafhankelijke taal dat op praktisch alle gebieden toegepast kan worden. Van mobiele telefoons (Java Micro Edition, Java ME), via computerprogramma's (Java Standard Edition, Java SE) tot grote dynamische webapplicaties (Java Enterprise Edition, Java EE).
I dont know which language it is? could not understand? should i download any font or is it in any other language. u not from India? name sounds like an south indian.

Image dimensions not consistent (Nikon vs. Apple / Aperture)

I just realized something strange about RAW (NEF) images taken with my new Nikon D700 and copied to my Mac: according to Nikon's specifications (http://tinyurl.com/54cdn9) full FX size RAW images are supposed to be 4,256 x 2,832 pixels.
My Mac however thinks these images are 4,256 x 2,828 pixels - no matter whether I look at the Finder info (Get Info), open the RAW file in Preview or import it into Aperture.
But when I open the very same RAW file with Photoshop, do some basic RAW processing and look at the image dimensions once the file has been opened, it has the 4,256 x 2,832 pixels that it actually should have. Same thing when imported into Adobe Lightroom, by the way.
I remember also having realized this differnce in dimensions with my D300. My Mac thought it had different dimensions than the ones as specified by Nikon and recognized by non-Apple applications.
Now, I am quite a bit concerned about losing 4 pixels in height - not of course because the images get dramatically smaller, but because they are (incorrectly) resized and lose quality.
My questions would be:
Am I the only one with that inconsistency? What dimensions do your D700 or D300 images have? Are these consistent to Nikon's specifications?
Do you agree that those 4 pixels affect image quality?
Or is there a good reason why Apple is tampering with image dimensions and I just don't get it? What am I missing?
Comments welcome!

Garp wrote:
So what you're saying is that while the number of pixels is different in height, there is no sort of scaling etc. applied to the images when rendering them in different height as specified by the camera manufacturer?
Or at least very, very little. It is not even sure that Nikon's calculations give a more correct value than Apple's.
What if it were not 4 pixels that were different, but 200 or 400? Wouldn't some distortion be visible in the images or would these 400 px just get cropped away?
I'm sure it would be visible at 400 pixels difference.
I apologize if I may sound ignorant, but I just don't see any reason why an app would not adhere to a camera manufacturer's specs and apply differing image dimensions for no apparent reason, even if it's just 4 pixels?
I do not know the exact reason either, but I'm sure there is one. What I know is that interpreting a RAW file is not trivial. The same discrepancy is there with both my D300 and my D40X.
By the way, I tried as you suggested, fired up my Windows XP on VMWare and installed IrfanView and Picasa - while IrfanView follows Nikons specifications with RAW dimensions of 4256 x 2832, Picasa does not: 4284 x 2844.
Very strange thing... and I thought I was experienced in digital imaging and photography... hmmm.
I'm sure you are. But we cannot all know everything. You can search the forum for other discussions on the subject. I'm sure you can google for an indepth explanation as well, even though I do not know which key words to use.

Finding images cropped to a particular aspect ratio?

Hi,
Is it possible to search for images based on their cropping aspect ratio?
Andrew.

Inability to find images based on cropped aspect ratio is definitely pretty annoying. If I want to print a batch of 4x6 photos, I must now select the pictures I want to print and make sure they are indeed 2x3 or 4x6. This is just extra chore that would have otherwise been avoided.
What makes it really irritating is that LR already has this information. It can already display image based on cropped dimension, ie: 4752x3168, all it has to do is divide those two numbers and convert to a the smallest whole numbers, and you get the ratio of 3:2.
Furthermore, LR doesn't even have to do this calculation on every image. If the image was cropped using a pre-defined aspect ratio in the cropping tool, such as 1x1, 8x10, this information should already be part of the catalog. If you select an image and open the cropping tool, it shows what aspect ratio the image is cropped to, such as 8x10, 2x3, etc. I would assume it is easy to allow filtering/search based on the tool used.

Re: [iPlanet-JATO] Finding the database column length

This is the technique I would recommend. If you'd like to wrap this
mechanism up in the model class itself, create a subclass of QueryModelBase
that provides such a method and use that as the base class for all your
QueryModels.

Chidu,
The result set that you get back is a JDBC ResultSet, not a "JATO" resultset. In ND, everything was wrapped in a "spider" data
structure, and therefore, difficult to get to the underlying datastructure, in many cases. In some case ND made it easier to do
certain things, and in other ways, made it more difficult or impossible(like seeing the SQL for an insert, update, delete).

Anyway, looking at the java.sql package, you can do this.
java.sql.ResultSet rs = <jata-model>.getResultSet();
java.sql.ResultSetMetaData rsMeta = rs.getMetaData();
// not sure if this is what you need, but it was the closest thing I couldfind
int colSize = rsMeta.getColumnDisplaySize(int column);
There are numerous other methods in the ResultSetMetaData interface thatmay be of use as well.
