GIF and JPG become damaged

I have a weird problem with some GIF and JPG images which I
use in a RoboHelp project. They appear to get damaged, but I nor
anyone else changes them. The bottom part becomes scrambled or
entirely black. The strange thing is that when I put the project on
my local hard disk, nothing happens, but when they are on the
server (with RAID disk sytem), then trouble begins.
Until now, nobody else who's wordking on the server reported
damaged files, so it seems that I'm the only one so far.
The trouble began on Sept. 11. Some projects I worked on
since that day have problem files. Most projects are RoboHelp, but
there's also a Word-project involved with a damaged JPG-file.
Anyone?

Hi Peter
I've indeed already experienced that some RoboHelp projects,
mainly large onces, are better run on the local hard disk.
But this is a different problem I think. The project is run
locally, which goes well, but when I copy it to the server disk for
backup reasons, then some GIF-files get damaged after a while,
while nobody opens the project on the server. When I copy the same
files to another server's disk, then the files do not get damaged.
I also have a Word project that has a JPG file that has got
damaged.

    who can give me the website about gif and jpg format?
    thanks guy.

    This is a crosspost.
    Chances are that you won't get a resonable response when you do that. Try reading How to Ask Questions the Smart Way. That will give you plenty of pointers on getting reasonable responses.
    The response in your other post is a literal answer to you question, google is your friend.
    For a direct answer, here's the the Jpeg FAQ. If what you are actualling requesting is "how do I use images in Java" take a look at the ImageIcon class, the javax.imageio package and search this forum for examples. You could also check the How to use Icons in the Java Tutorial.

  • How can I invalidate everything except .gif and .jpg

    Hi
    I need to invalidate every page except the static objects as gif jpg. Can I create a rule that invalidates everything except gif and jpg.
    Thanks

    currently webcache invalidation does not have the expressive power to describe "anything but".
    however, you can give a list of rules in single invalidation message, each matching one type of pages, such as under particular directory, and with fixed suffix. and the whole list of criteria effectively achieves "anything but".

  • Some GIFs and JPGs appearing with yellow "wash" when loading in Safari

    Hi,
    I've flicked through forums, google, and called my top graphics people but nobody can seem to help, or has ever even heard of, my issue.
    Here it is in a nutshell:
    Some GIFs and JPGs appear with a yellow "wash" when being loaded in Safari. I can confirm this is happening on 3 different Macs, and even on a PC running Safari.
    Safari 3.1.1 on Windows XP
    Safari 3.1.2 on Mac OSX 10.5.5
    Here's some examples of it occurring:
    http://staging.tomatosource.com.au/test/bad.jpg
    http://staging.tomatosource.com.au/test/bad.gif
    You might need to refresh the page in Safari a couple of times to see the flicker but it's there.
    I've tried:
    - resaving images with and without "progressive" and "interlaced"
    - a variety of different colour palettes
    - taking a screenshot of the image, putting back into Photoshop and resaving
    Has anybody seen this issue before? Unfortunately I can't go live with this site until I fix this very strange error.
    Any comments would be greatly appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Jase.

    Totally independently from your current problem, Safari is cr@p. Dump it.
    All Apple applications, from the Finder through Preview and iPhoto to Safari, assign Monitor RGB to ALL untagged images, even if they were created or saved in sRGB.
    The only current properly color-managed web browser is Firefox 3.0.1. Just keep in mind that you have to enable color management deep inside the guts of Firefox.

  • Gif and JPG save for web file sizes in CS2 and CS3

    Gif 64 dittered default CS2=2.63KB CS3=4.83KB
    JPG CS2Low=1.42KB CS3=4.03KB
    JPG CS2Medium=1.90KB CS3=4.51KB
    JPG CS2High=3.38KB CS3=5.99KB
    Why? Is there any solution besides keep using CS2 for web?
    Thank's in advance.
    regards
    Fernando Bergamaschi

    Each of the three JPG files increases by the same amount -- 2.61 Kbytes. That sure sounds like some common header block is being added in CS3. Did you check the "Optimize menu" button next to "Preset" just to make double-sure "Include XMP" isn't enabled? Or some other setting like that? Or check both images in Bridge to see if something is being added.

  • Include large .gif and .jpg in pdf reports how?

    hi
    please can anyone enlighten me. i wish to include large(ish) graphics in pdf reports and this works if it is a small gif file of about 5Kb. anything over that fails.
    i have read the document in http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/hol08/apexprnt/apexprnt2_otn.htm and this works with extremely small gif files ONLY!!
    this is something i need to resolve urgently and would REVERE any solution.
    thanks

    Have the same problem too.
    When i'm creating xlst template larger than 40kb pdf generation fails.
    I damped request data recived by apex_fop.jsp and it shows that there is some (about 50) corrupted bytes between 40kb and 50kb.
    Same problem happens when there are to much data in xml, because it comes together in http post request.
    I suppose that there is some problems with utl_http, that corrupts some of report data. Or the post reques is not well-formed by apex.

  • GIF and sticky page size

    I have scanned (from HP N6310) a paper to a .TIF image. Original is A4 and resolution, as set in scanning software 300dpi. Photoshop (CS5) reports (for the .TIF fiile) pixel dimension as 2574*3540 pixels, page size as 21.8 * 29.9 cm and resolution as 300 dpi. I "Save for web and devices" as a GIF file. When I now retrieve the .GIF image in Photoshop it reports same pixel dimension but page size 91*125 cm and resolution as 72 dpi.
    This is a problem because .JPG images do not tend to change dimension and when I use Adobe Acrobat  (V9) to combine .GIF and JPG file ino one PDF document, the pages show at different sizes which looks funny and is very impractical.
    I try do fix this; retrive the GIF file in Photoshop and change page size back to A4 (21*29 cm) and resolution back to 300 dpi and Ctrl-S or Save. Does not help. If I retrive the file again in Photoshop it is still/back to 91*125 cm and 72 dpi. What is going on and what can I do about it????
    It seems Photoshop is the main offender but if I had found a way to change page size of a PDF file when "in" Acrobat it had probably solved the problem too. I run Windows 7.

    Let me rephrase my problem. I scan documents that are a mixture of pages with text, photos and diagrams. Black and white, greyscale or color. If I scan to PDF in color I get huge file sizes, even after Acrobat "Optimize". So I scan to the different pages to TIF bw, gray or color. I then save (Photoshop - Save for Web adn devices) to a compressed file format , JPG or GIF (I also tried PNG and the result is similar) depending on what sort of pictures there are. The result is OK (good looking and small file size) and I am able to import all singel page files into one PDF document. The only problem is that Photoshop and/or Acrobat seem to have their own idea about individual "page sizes". So in the final PDF different pages have different sizes. The problem is with GIF that does dispaly the wrong size already in Photoshop - unchageable but also it seems Acrobat import differently depending on color or bw (file size?). The whole thing is a mess and I have not been able to systematically track all variation. The only setting I found that could help is Photoshop - image - image size but that is where I got thsoe strange results.

  • Using imageio to convert .gif to .jpg gives bad image

    Hi,
    I'm looking at the 1.4 javax.imageio API, and wrote a naive
    program to convert images from one format to another.
    It will read .gif, .jpg or .png and correctly write .gif and .png
    images, but when I try to write a .jpg from a .gif or .png
    the result is very black-looking - actually most of the colour
    is there but changed to a very dark level and red switched to blue
    for example. Presumably there is a reason that this doesn't work,
    or is it a bug? I would've though an exception would be thrown
    if the image types selected were incompatible.
    Also, how does one specify the JPEG quality setting?
    Thanks for any clues,
    Ed
    import javax.imageio.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.awt.image.*;
    public class ImageTest
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    try
    File f1 = new File(argv[0]);
    BufferedImage bi = ImageIO.read(f1);
    System.out.println("Read "+f1+" OK.");
    System.out.println("Image="+bi);
    File f2 = new File(argv[1]);
    String extn = f2.getName();
    extn = extn.substring(extn.lastIndexOf('.')+1);
    ImageIO.write(bi, extn, f2);
    System.out.println("Wrote "+f2+" OK format="+extn);
    catch (Exception ex)
    ex.printStackTrace();

    Interesting, the program works correctly on Windows 2000
    and Solaris Sparc; The .jpg file creating problem only
    occurs on my Solaris x86 machine.

  • Creating a .gif or .jpg File

    I have written an eBook and am sending it for eBook publication and sale.
    One of the items required in the process before uploading the eBook is to provide:
    A. An image of the book cover. That image is now in Pages format and it contains text and a line art image. I need to convert that cover page to a .gif or .jpg format. How can I do this?
    B. The process also requires me to create 'Banners' of varying size. How do I create a Banner? All the material [text and art] are contained in the existing Pages document.

    As far as I know, the only way to get a gif or jpg would be to make a screenshot.
    Maybe a PDF may fit your needs. If it does use the Print to PDF tool and print the 1st page.

    You may open a blank Numbers document and remove every table.
    You will get a huge blank surface which may be more than one meter in width.
    Copy objects from Pages and paste then on the Numbers sheet.

  • Repair itunes library (damaged) file. Multiple iTunes libraries on an external harddrive. All libraries have been working fine. Do some "housecleaning" on a one of the large libraries 296GB. iTunes quit and now has damaged file. 296 GB still on HD.

    How to repair itunes library (damaged) file. Multiple iTunes libraries on an external harddrive. All libraries have been working fine. Do some "housecleaning" on a one of the large libraries 296GB. iTunes quits and now has damaged file. 296 GB still on HD.

    The duplication is unnecessary. Exporting creates a duplicate of the file. So now you'll have a duplicate of a duplicate. Exporting is not "working on" a file.
    No it's not merging, it's exporting from one to the Finder and into another. No matter what lose something. If you export the Original you leave behind all the work you've done in iPhoto. If you export anything else, you lose the non-destructive editing and the ability to revert to the original. With merging you preserve that work. Yes, you can trash the old Library when you have completed the manoevre but no it's not the same thing as merging.
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue. But in brief:
    Current gets you the iPhoto Preview, used for sharing via media browsers. It's a jpg, medium quality missing metadata. Original gets the file you imported, unchanged and then you can export different version of the current version at different qualities. If you choose to export anything except the Original you do not get a Raw. There's no such thing as an "edited Raw", and you lose the connection between the original and the exported version. That means you've taken a non-destructive workflow and turned it into a destructive one.
    The Tiff will certainly be higher qulaity and less likely to suffer generational loss in future editing but the file sizes are vast, often more than 10 times the size of the jpeg.
    Put it this way, it would be cheaper to buy Library Manager than the disk you'll need to contain all the Tiffs. Unless you plan on a lot of editing, I'd go for a high quality jpeg as a reasonable compromise.
    To be clear:
    So, I guess my new question is, how can I edit the Raw image and keep it in a RAW format that IPhoto recognizes so that I can reprocess without any loss at a future time, or is it that once you edit a RAW image, then it is no longer a RAW image?
    Once you edit a Raw it can no longer be a Raw. End of.

  • How do I save a gif and send it to be viewed remotely?

    I'm trying to find a way to let a client view a gif that I've created for them. They use ancient pcs so can't use Preview in Mac OS. Any ideas?

    How will the client use the GIF?  If in a website, for instance, make a wee mock up and send them a JPG.  Or send the GIF and let them view in a web browser.

  • My Itunes Library has become (Damaged)

    My Itunes Library has become (Damaged), there is no previous itunes Library folder to chose a backup from. None of my media is showing in itunes but it is still in the relevant folders within the itunes folder, how do I get it back into iTunes! iMac, Itunes version 11.1

    No it is not broken links, they are not their period. Yeah i think iTunes thinks that i already own those films for some reason and i can download them again because it cant see them in my library.
    If they are not there period then you have to add them yourself as I have said twice already.
    iTunes is picking up your computer authorization and AppleID login into the Store and telling you you have content not in your library (the database iTunes uses, not what is actually on your computer as files which iTunes completely fails to see).  It is showing you have content to download.
    I think it may be to do with where the ITuned Media folder is directed to in the preferences.  I just checked it and it seemed to have changed itself to an Itunes folder on my local HDD, not my network drive.
    I tried to change it to the root folder in my network drive, but it still hasn't populated the media into iTunes ...
    Changing preferences will not get iTunes to inventory the media folder.  Changing preferences simply tells iTunes that is where you want ot store any new media added from that point on.
    I'm not sure if the file directory is correct. My root folder on the network drive is named 'iTunes Library' within that folder I have music, books, movies folders etc, but there is also one named 'Itunes Media' with an 'automaticaly add to itunes' folder inside that, but that same 'automatically add to itunes' folder also exist within the root folder...
    Its like it thinks all my media should be in that iTunes media folder, but its not, its in the top level folder above that.  You would think I should just be able to point ITunes at that folder...?
    You have residual pre-iTunes 9 media structure as well as the new structure.  If everything was working I'd tell you to consolidate/organize to update it all.  As it is since you will have to add all media to your new library it should do it anyway.

  • Bridge CS5 is Corrupting Raw and JPG Files Right Before My Eyes

    I am using Bridge CS5 on a Mac to work on Raw files from a Canon camera.  The files all looked good in the cameras review, and looked good when downloaded to the computer then the files started to corrupt and become unusable one at a time as I watched.  They became all white or lines of color.  Not all of them corrupted yhough (about 225 of 1100 did though).  I eventually worked the uncorrupted files and even turned them into JPGs and sent them out.  The next day I pull up the pics in bridge to see if they are still bad.  All of a sudden files I opened and worked on yesterday started to corrupt one after another.  Both the JPG and Raw files are corrupt and unusable even though they worked yesterday.  It only happens when in Bridge.  What is going on?  This is riduculous.
    Terry

    Thanks for responding.  What happens is I highlight a large group of files then click on open with Bridge or in Bridge I go to the subdirectory with the files.  All the files are in a filmstrip on the left side of the screen.  All of a sudden the file that I am viewing becomes corrupt (that is it turns into multiple horizontal lines of colors.  Then I can watch as it happens to one file after another.  I would compare it to when you quickly view film strips that were just uploaded and the initial thumbnail is blurry and then slowly all the thumbnails get clear as they process.  But here they appear to already be fine thumbnails but then turn into the files with horizontal lines or sometimes just 30% or so so of the pic is visible and the rest is white or gray.  When I try to open it the file cannot be opened because it is corrupt.  It happens to both the RAW and the JPG file (I shoot in Raw+JPG).  The first day it happened to about 200 of the 1200 files.  So I was able to process the 1000 good ones in Raw convertor and create JPGs with no trouble.  The next day I open all the files in Bridge again to see if the bad ones are good now and files I had already opened and were perfectly fine in RAW converter start to corrupt one after another like the ones did the day before.  So I doubt it is the card or hardware it only happens in Bridge.  Bridge must have the capability to do something to the files.  It isnt making XMF files so thats not it, it is actually corrupting the RAW and JPG files.  Have you ever heard of that.  I found another forum with what sounded like the same issue to someone who had a Canon:  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/645620
    But this happened to Windows and I use MAC.....but I do use a 7D like them.  I still wonder if Bridge just doesnt work well with Canon 7Ds or something like that.  The above thread never found a solution.  Maybe someone from Adobe has heard of this from others and discovered a reason or solution.  Until then I cant trust Adobe products at all....which really sucks after how much it cost me, but whole shoots lost is worse, I guess.

    Update:  I tried the "Toshiba Recovery Wizard" after everything else either fizzled out or hung up. After going all the way thru the recovery process (up to 100%), I finally got an error message.....it didn't work. And now, when I fire up the computer, I don't even get to that menu with the recovery options....the only thing I can boot into is the screens with the various ways to run your OS (in "safe mode", "safe mode with networking", etc).
    I'm not a techie, but I'm guessing at this point, the part of my hard drive that got damaged in the fall was, at the very least, the partition with the recovery data. Couple that with the fact that this cheapo Toshiba laptop didn't even come with recovery disk (or ANY kind of disk, even basic installation software!), I'm screwed: I don't see any way to get a workable computer now without some kind of disk to boot from. So NOW my concern is more about spending the $$ for a new OS and THEN finding out the hard drive has other problems too...is broken in some other way to boot.
    How to check this? As I said, I did run "chkdsk" back when I could get into the recovery menu and run the fix-it programs. It didn't note any problems. Thinking of taking this opportunity to upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista (which I never liked), but I have to know that the computer is otherwise ok....how to be sure?
