Graphic converter

Hey all,
I am going to use graphic converter for this documentery I am working on. The photos are largely in cymk format and I need everything in rgb. (blah blah.) My question is. Should I put the video filter on it and set to lower field, or is there a de-interlacer filter I should use. Or maybe somebody has a good setup for preping photos for FCP.
Thanks all.

formally postman, but lost the other apple id. Damm lost all my old posts

Call me old fashioned but in a thread called Graphic Converter asking about how to batch convert images for FCP, I would recommend the application Graphic Converter which has a comprehensive batch conversion system and costs considerably less than Photoshop.
You don't need to make any macros, just tell it what to do, what size to crop the images to, how to deinterlace them, what to save them as and it does it.

Graphics convert but not text even when ocr is disabled

graphics convert but not text even when ocr is disabled

Hmmm... I seem to have found the plist file that is doing it. I was looking at /Library/Application\ Support/Apple/Remote\ Desktop/ before... looks like /Library/Preferences/com.apple.ARDAgent.plist is the culprit.
This plist is a binary, so I had to use plutil to convert to xml in order to make it human readable. I wonder if I can just hack this file up a bit and re-deploy it to each machine. Or I wonder if it would re-build if I simply remove it from each client. I will need to test to find out, seeing as though the task servers are listed in it, probably not a good idea to remove it all the way.

Graphic Converter and Leopard

Since I installed Leopard on my iMac Aluminum 24" , Graphic Converter is unable to save anything, showing an "error code -43".
I've already contacted Lemke Software and they can't find anything wrong, I even emailed them the .plist (which I've trashed several times).
I know that this may not be the appropriate forum to post this question, but I'm hoping that somebody had the same problem and came out with a solution.
If I boot as an other account, the problem disappears........
What I've done so far:
a) Verify the disk > OK
b) Repair permissions > OK
c) Reinstall Leopard > Archive and Install
d) Reinstall Graphic Converter
All the available updates are done as of today.
Any help is really welcome.
Regards
Pedro

I've the latest version 6.0.1, but yesterday, after posting this message I did a cleanup of some old apps that were while using Tiger, and fortunately, the problem is gone.
On the other hand, I don't know which one was causing the problem since I trashed a few apps at the same time.
It was a conflict with some app, that didn't show up in Tiger.

How to convert Graphic-Converter of AppleWorks in Pages?

Hi
I d'like to upgrade to OS X Lion. I know, that I can open AppleWorks-Docs with Pages. But I have made many docs with the Graphic-Converter (fractions, roots etc.). These elements cannot be edited by Pages.
What can I do?
Thanks
Chris

Thanks, Roger
I ment the Equation Editor. I tried to write a fraction in the Equation Editor of AppleWorks and to paste it into a Pages-Doc, but I made it with OS 6. It worked, but it's not possible to edit the fraction anymore. I don't know, if the Equation Editor will still run in OS 7. I could use the Equation Editor of Word. So I have at least the possibility to create new terms.
Or do you see an other possibility?
Kind regards
Christian

Graphic Converter insisting on opening WMV files

I'm trying to access wmv files, but even after downloading the Windows Media Player and Stuffit, my Graphic Converter keeps trying to open the files, and it CAN'T!! I just keep getting boxes of codes appearing on my screen. Do I need to get rid of Graphic Converter or is there a better solution? Thank you, in advance, for any help you can offer.
Tara

I don't think you're quite on target.
Locate a .wmv movie file in the Finder. Select the file with the mouse and press COMMAND-I. That should open the Get Info window. Alternatively, use the Get Info menu selection in the Finder's File menu. Then locate the section labeled Open With. You may need to click on the little arrow on the side to open the section. Proceed as previously instructed.

Graphic converter as default to open media player - why?

Certain downloaded media files can only be opened by first going through graphic converter as the designated default. I want to completely by pass graphic converter (don't understand its value in this instance) and have the downloaded file upon via Real Player (including alias in dock).
I guess the place to start is to un-default graphic converter - but how? Nothing in the apps preferences that suggest how or the user's manual.
Any help appreciated
Mcthomas

Hi McThomas...
You can change the application associated with a file using the Info window.
1. Select a document in the Finder.
2. Choose File > Get Info (Command-I).
3. In the Info window, click the "Open with" disclosure triangle.
4. Choose an application from the "Open with" pop-up menu.
The next time the selected file is opened in the Finder, it will be opened with the chosen application.
5. If you want all files of the same type to be opened with the chosen application, click Change All.
When making changes to a specific file, the change is stored in the file itself. When using the Change All button, it updates the binding for the active user, and stores it in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist. In other words, if one user changes the application association for a specific set of files, those changes do not affect other users on the computer.
Why Graphic Converter is set to open audio files, I have no idea, but i might just be a corrupt cache file. Therefore If you need to reset the system-wide bindings, discard the database (named com.apple.LaunchServices-userID-based value.csstore) from /Library/Caches and restart the computer. You can delete the user-set bindings file as well.

Graphic Converter jpegs increase in size when reduced?!

I'm not being allowed to join the Graphic Converter forum because (evidently) the download was free, so I turn here.
When I make a copy of a jpeg in Graphic Converter (Version 6.4) to edit, the file shows up in my System Drive as LARGER than the original. From 756 kb to 1.6 mb. This defies all sense. What is being added? When I convert it to black and white, it's still at 1.6 mb.
Thanks so much!

Hmmm! But does it!
Playing around with that, I find this:
In GC's browser the file is shown as 1.2MB
A copy saved to the desktop shows in Get Info as 1.7MB
The Exif file in GC shows as File Length 1.2 MB, Memory 16.5MB (22.0MB)
I have been using GC for years and still find some of it mystifying!
If it is important to you I don't mind emailing Torsten Lemke and asking him, and will then post back (should be quick, the guy never sleeps), but you should really pay for this superb shareware and have that facility yourself!

Ack. did i move something accidentally in GRAPHIC CONVERTER

argh.
i think i might have done something really dumb by accidentally moving a portion of my APPLICATIONS folder while working in Graphic Converter. is this possible?
the screenshot at the bottom shows an Applications folder with data in it that is supposed to just be full or images and the GC screenshot seems to show the Applications folder in here as well.
can anyone decipher this for me? i think my testing in this app has got to stop and i have to move to something else...

THANKS

Thank you for the reply. Its good to know i am not the only person seeing this. I did confirm your observation. I have both PSCS5 and PSCS5.1 installed. PS CS5.1 is automatically made the default editor and i have linked CS5 in as the custom alternate. When choosing to edit in the custom alternate the "edit in" dialogue appears-- when using the Default CS5.1-- no dialogue appears.
EDIT: With A little more research I did find out that everything is working as it should-- The Default Editor is not meant to show the "edit in" dialogue and will always apply whatever lightroom adjustments you have made (flattening the image to whatever format you choose in the preferences) -- you can however have full camera raw editability by choosing "open as a smart object" which will allow you to open up the RAW format within Camera Raw from Photoshop.
You can also have the "default" editor also saved as a custom external editor -- saving it as a preset-- and selecting the preset -- which will bring up the "edit in" dialogue.

HT2506 How do I change the default image editor from Preview to Graphic Converter?

How do I change the default image editor from Preview to Graphic Converter?

I'm assuming you want the default programme to change from Preview to Graphic Converter so that clicking on the file would open Graphic Converter instead of Preview.
Control click on the file type that you want to open using Graphic Converter. Press Command+I for Get Info. Click on the triangle next to Open With. Select Graphic Converter and Press Change All...

Bulk convert to png and resize (pixelmator, graphic converter or other)?

hi all.
i have been looking at pixelmator and graphic converter as i have a need to both CONVERT IMAGES to png as well as to RESIZE and "RE-PIXELATE" them to some fixed pixel width. i have been finding Preview to be fantastic with the bulk resizing (you simply open all the images and then pulldown to resize, set the new size and then save). this requires that i move the resized images to a new folder so as to not over-write the original but it is extremely nice and /quick/.
unfortunately, converting these to png in Preview appears to require me to export each individually (and then i have to go back and delete the other file types with the same names as the new png's which i don't need).
i have been using Name Mangler which is super fantastic for bulk renaming and i am wondering if there is a methodology in either of these tools (or if there is a better tool for this) or if this would be better accomplished in something like Aperture. i /tend/ to keep information such as this residing in a FOLDER on my desktop because it is about to be uploaded to the web via ftp but if there was a great benefit to doing this in something like an Aperture database i could certainly move in that direction.
anyone have any specific explanation of specific steps i could take in aperture for this or in other software?
this seems like a reasonably common need (size to width, dpi and file type)...
TIA

Jon,
I think the export presets in Aperture can do what you want.
You just would have to define a custom export preset.
Assuming the images you want to convert have been imported to Aperture, select them in the Browser and select to export the versions (File > Export > Versions).
In the Export panel select a png export preset, then switch to "Edit"
In the "Edit" panel duplicate the png preset, then set the pixel size you want to use and export your images.

Graphic Converter tries unsuccessfully to open my WMV Download

How can I get the Graphic Converter Application to get its hands off of my WMV download? I try and open the downloaded file and it comes up as broken with a page of programming info (unreadable letters). I think that someone (my nephew) must have tried to open the new download with this application for some reason.

Change the default "Open With" application via the Get Info window of Finder.
Highlight a .wmv file, Get Info and change the default back to your assigned app.

Graphics Converter Application

I'll post this in case anyone else runs into the same issue using the very popular application Graphics Converter. I could not get access to my Twain Scanner until I used the Universal Version of Graphics Converter. I am still on a PPC chipset so I originally used that version. If you have the same issue download and install the Universal Version. (PS the software designer is very helpful and quick to respond to issues via email.)

this is probably why i cannot do this because i wasn't quite sure how to do what you were explaining about giving it to the URL. Any chance you can explain it in 2nd grade MAC terms:)!!!! thanks so much.
I am so confused by all of this. i appreciate your expertise and yearn for that same knowledge.

PDF documents needing Graphic Converter

I don't know why in the heck I should have to rely on Graphic Converter to download PDF files. I have the most recent Adobe PDF reader on my computer. Shouldn't I just be able to download PDF files without Graphic Converter? When I download PDF files I'm required to do the 2-step to get there. Just seems to be an added step that I don't need.

Hi Cynthia,
Click on a PDF and then press command+i (Get Info in the File menu). Set the Open With to your PDF viewer and then click the Change All button. They should open properly now.

Convert file command in Graphic Converter.....help

OK, I'm a software engineer by trade, so I'm sure I'll get the hang of AS, but I have to admit, I'm having problems getting started.
I would like to create a simple drag/drop Applescript that will invoke GraphicConverter and perform a predefined file conversion process. Specifically I want to convert dropped images to the Electric Image "IMAGE" format.
I have looked at all of the sample scripts on numerou sites, and they use the "Save Window" method. I would like to use the "Convert File" method.
Any sample code that may help me with this? I've looked at the AS Dictionary for GC, but I'm not sure where to proceed. Here is the text from the dictionary:
convert file v : convert a file using a batch setting to the destination folder
convert file
using batch file specification : batch settings file
to folder file specification : destination folder
Thanks for any help!
