Grey area in the JPEG image

Recently my external hard drive with thousands of pictures failed. So I moved all of the files on the external to my Mac harddrive. I deleted the contents of the external hard drive. Now when I open the images (some not all) open with this grey area in the jpeg image. I'm assuming the file is partially corrupted. How can I restore the entire picture? The file size of the images seems to be the entire file but not showing up when I open the file. It does however show the entire picture as a thumbnail icon.
And other pictures show different colors (not just grey).
If someone can direct me to a software or perhaps tell me how to fix them. Not sure if Aperture has some capability of fixing this but hopefully someone out there has the answer.
Cheers,
Gilbert

Are they gray, or partially gray in the Finder QuickView, Preview, etc or only in Aperture? If the former, then yeah they may be damaged beyond repair but if it is only Aperture, then it could be the in-app thumbs that are bad and you could try reconnecting them and then rebuilding thumbs.

My FaceTime seemed not working and keep telling me The document "IMG_3054.JPG" could not be opened. FaceTime cannot open files in the "JPEG image" format. I clicked OK but it pop-up again. So that I can't turn off my computer at all.

When I tried to restart my computer, FaceTime will pop-up and a warning message The document “IMG_3054.JPG” could not be opened. FaceTime cannot open files in the “JPEG image” format. I tried to clike OK but this worning message keeping pop-up and I can not quit FaceTime. So that I can't turnoff or restart my computer.
Can someone help?

The next time that happens, try this keyboard shortcut.

Staff Delivering TERP10 -Queries regarding Grey Areas in the content-

I am looking to obtain a list of all UA staff members that are delivering TERP10. Is anyone aware of a list like that?
The reason I want this, is that there are some "grey" areas within the TERP10 materials that would be good to have a general view of these.
For example, I have a burning question regarding organisational levels. Although we know that Client is the highest organisational level and thus is implicitly used in all units (PP,MM SD, etc) there are some units that do not clearly specify whether client is used or not. For example, in procurement (unit 4) the slides clearly specify that client is one of the organisational level used in this unit, however, in inventory management and warehouse management (unit 8) and sales order management (unit 9) client is not specified as an organisational unit. The problem here is not understanding, but at the time of the exam. What a student would write is he/she is asked if Client is an organisational unit used in SD? my view is that should say yes, but the materials are not clear about this.
Looking forward to your replies

Dear all,
Thank you very much for your answers.
First I want to highlight the issue that my query is regarding TERP10 materials and not the concept itself. When you are training students in TERP10 they are concern about which is the correct answer, as the need to know this when they face the SAP certification exam.
In this note and after a good debate with my colleagues we found that SAP classifies organisational levels in different ways. For example, if you are asked which is the "highest" organisational level in - lets say- procurement, then the answer is Client. However, if you ask which is the "central" organisational unit in procurement, then the answer is not client but Plant.
One question that still puzzle us is what would be the answer to the question:
Select ALL organisational units "USED" in procurement. Then the answer should be Client, Company Code, Purchasing Organisation/Purchasing group and plan. If you look at TERP10 material you find this information in the slides. However, when you look at Financial Accounting, in the section when they describe the organisational units used, Client is not mentioned at all. So we know we use Client in FI but it is not mentioned. What a student should answer if they asked to select all organisational nits used in FI? Selecting Client to me is a correct answer but I am not sure if this is correct, as SAP did not specify Client in their materials.
Any views on this?
Thanks for your help

How do I change the JPEG image size in PSE-12 when opening from RAW

Switching from PSE-9 to PSE-12. When a JPEG image is opened RAW in PSE-12 the size is 18.72" Wide x 12.48" high 300 DPI. The same image in PSE-9 is 23.4" wide x 15.6" High 240 DPI. How do I get PSE-12 to open the image as in PSE-9?

Uncheck the boxes at the bottom of the dialog Scale styles and resample Image so that only constrain proportions is checked. If you the change the resolution box from 240 to 300 you will get back to your original dimensions.
This is a meaningless thing to do, you still have the exact same number of pixels, you have only changed the metadata number in the file for ppi, and your prints are not affected by this number.
You could also use the same method to change the dimensions to 6 x 4 or 9 x 6 etc.
There are some cases (actually most cases) where you need to CROP the photo to change the dimensions, when the aspect ratio of the original photos is different than the aspect ratio of the final photo; the specific case in 99jon's example is the only case you ever want to change dimensions using Image->Resize->Image Size, where the aspect ratio doesn't change from 6x4 to 9x6 (or 12x8 or 18x12 or ...), and even then, you could do the same thing simply by telling the printer the size you want, you don't really need to do anything in PSE.

How to get the jpeg image contained in a URL

I have a jpeg image which is contained in a URL
http://california.biocars.org/viewFrames2?seqDir=/data/pub&
fFileName=test
How can I get the image only? The file is not in jpeg format
but in some other format which adds two lines in front of a
jpeg file. This jpeg file is what I want. But how to get it?
Note that california.biocars.org/ is inside a firewall and can not
be viewed from outside.

Adjusting the jpeg image size

I am trying to upload to Amazon a pages to pdf to jpeg for a book cover with the following requirements:
72 DPI, 4500 pixels X 2820 pixels
When I get to jpeg conversion is just see the slider bar for quality and a pixels/inch box. How do I input this size restrictions?

You can do this in Preview. With the jpeg open, select Tools then Adjust Size from the menubar. This will work in 10.9.4, anyway; I don't know which OS is on your iMac.
Good luck

Events on Jpeg image

I have a jpeg image of a particular area map which i need to load in my app using swing, is there a way to fire some event when clicked on specific areas on the jpeg image and then highlight that area.
I have googled and tried various ways but still not getting it right
Please if anyone can guide me it would be great help.
Thanks in Advance

I have found the same functionality on ALOV Map [http://alov.org/index.html] The way their applets works i need exactly the same functionality like pan, zoom etc and most importantly events. but they are using shp files and i dont know exactly what they are. As for other things i tried are Flex's ImageViewer, ImageMap form Flexlib but it dosent solve my problem.
The Map is actually going to be a console where depending on the live datafeeds from the database(continuosly updated) the exact location should be activated, like highlighting/blinking without user interference (Like monitoring system). The user will then click the area and any another activity will be triggerd.
Now honestly i'am confused as the project is in java so we need something in java or related to java swing, servlet, applet dosent matter that is why i posted my query here therfore sorry if it hurt someone that is not my intention. I have even gone as far as HDF5 file format but i need something simple.
I again request you to give me some guidlines that i can try and solve my problem.
Thanks in advance

JPEG images burned to DVD are viewed fine on my Macbook Pro, but my clients PC says the disk is blank. Have tried several times now with same result. Please help.

The JPEG images I have edited on my Macbook Pro and then burned to DVD view fine on my computer. But when I give the same disk to my client with a PC (Windows Vista), his computer says the disk is blank. I have tried several times, first I burned the entire folder to the DVD, then tried burning just the images (not in a folder), and I also tried renaming the disk (shorter name, six letters), but always with the same result. His PC says the disk is blank and needs to be formated.
Please help,
Tim

But it hasn't worked so far.
I will try again the way you suggest (fingers crossed).
The problem is likely on the client's computer.
Some computers can't read certain brands of disks, same thing occurs on Mac's.
If you work with this client often you can find out which brand of disk works best with yours and their computers.

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?

How do I control the quality of JPEG images?

I've written a program that scales a set of JPEG images down to various dimensions. I'm happy with the speed of execution, but quality of the images could be better. How do I specify the quality of the JPEG images I create? In graphics editors, I'm given the option of controlling the lossy-ness (?) of JPEGs when I save them, either reducing image qualify to shrink the file size or vice versa. How can I do this programmatically?
Thanks

Hi Jhm,
leaving aside the scaling algorithm, to save an arbitrary image with 100% quality you'd use
something like the following code snipet below

Error when exporting to pdf - cannot read a jpeg image, but I do not know which jpeg image.

I have created a document (A5) in Indesign cs6 with 116 pages. Because I would like to print the book I want to export it to pdf. Normally this is no problem for me, but now I got the following error: "Error encountered while reading JPEG image. Image may be damaged or incompatible. Resave the image with different settings and try again." This is quite annoying as my book contains 631 links of which most are .jpg. Does anyone know how I can find out which picture gives the error?
What is remarkable is the following. As it is a very large file InDesign automatically splitted it in subsections (with names like 'A5 V' or 'A5 V3'). To get closer to the problem I tried to export each subsection (all between 3 and 30 pages) to pdf. But somehow I managed to do this, so one might think that there is nothing wrong with the document at all. But when I try to expor the document as a whole again I still get this error about the JPEG image. It takes a couple of minutes (somewhere between 30 and 40% of the exporting) before I get the error.
Is there anything I should have tried which I forgot? I hope anyone can help me with this problem.

If you are able to export as sections it's almost certainly not actually a problem with the image, but a problem of not enough system resources to finish the job. This is not uncommon with large complex PDF exports.
Try rebooting, then immediately open ID and try the export again first thing. If it works, great. If not, you can combine your sections into a single PDF in Acrobat Pro.

Is there a way to overlay a soundcloud music player widget (flash or HTML5) ON TOP of a jpeg image?

I am designing my first webpage for a new site. It is very basic in function, where I am going to be embedding a bunch of soundcloud.com players of my music to my website. This part is fairly easy. I currently have Adobe Dreamweaver CS6.
Since I have ZERO webdesign experience, going the easy route is best. It was suggested to me by someone to create what I wanted my webpage to look like in photoshop (which I have lots of experience in). Essentially, I have a single image with lots of visual information on it, where I can then add "hotspots" if needed. So, I created my design, where there are specific areas ON TOP of the jpeg image where I want to overlay the soundcloud player. I am able to adjust the size, and format (HTML5 or Flash) of the player itself at soundcloud. I then have the proper code that needs to be put where I want it on top of my image.
Is there a simple piece of code, or a way in Dreamweaver to accomplish this in an easy way?
Thanks in advance!

How to get crisp jpeg images for slideshow on a Mac with Final Cut?

Hi, I imported a large number of jpegs into Final Cut Pro and when I export to Quicktime Movie (not modifying the sequence size or settings I notice the quality of the jpeg images looks rather washed out and a bit fuzzy. The image dimensions of the jpegs are actually 2848 x 4272 and I was originally using a sequence setting of 720 by 480 (which scaled the images to about 12%). I experimented with doubling the sequence setting to 1440 by 960 and scaled the images to about 25.5% - still a bit washed out look.
Basically this will be a presentation on a computer and output via projection. Looking for best possible and clearest photos. I experimented with iPhoto and when you play a slideshow it looks very crisp - this is what I am aiming for. When I export using the Slideshow export at the largest size 640 by 480 in iPhoto to quicktime - the quality seriously deteriorates.
What would be the best way to maintain the crispness of the photos in Final Cut for an export to Quicktime that would be show on a Mac via a projector? Thank you

Hi Nick, I do see information on creating a slideshow with Quicktime at: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/slideshow.html
however it appears Quicktime X removed that capability. There is no 'open image sequence' option from the File menu in Quicktime X.
If I do end up sticking with Final Cut - would you recommend any codec and/or dimension size that would result in the best quality or the most crisp image? I also need a few fade in's and out's on various parts - I don't believe I would have the control without Final Cut.
Would resizing the image files in Photoshop to 1920 pixels by 1280 before importing them into Final Cut result in crisper images? Thanks.

Bridge CC / How to use all cores to generate JPEG images?

Hi!
Is there anyway to tell Bridge, that it should use all my cores to generate the JPEG images out of RAWs?
Actually it uses less then 25% of my CPU performance. I've a Intel Core i7-2600 CPU @ 3,4 GHZ, with four cores and enabled hyperthreading, also eight virtual CPUs.
At least it could be FOUR times faster, if it would use all available cores, but so I get one preview per second (12 MP RAWs). So I've to wait in case of 100 RAWs round 3:30 minutes. If would use all CPUs, which are available, it could increase speed less then 1 minutes.
In my case, I've to create often up too 500 JPEGs in one go. So instead of 17-18 minutes it would take less then 5 minues. 12 minutes less!
I just wonder, why I bought a good PC, if Adobe is not using the power of the CPUs and tries to work parellel instead of seriel.
As there any chance, or does Adobe have no interest, like it has no interest to speed up LightRoom?
If there is any chance, I would be very pleased.
Thanks

Sorry, I could not know, that issue is caused by the same flaw in the software:

How to get a jpeg image to a movie with best possible quality

I've got a jpeg image from my 2 megapixel digital camera and I'm playing around with converting it to a movie. Yes, its a one image movie.
+QuickTime Pro+ does a superb job when I choose H.264, 1024 kb/s, but I can't get iMovie 5.0.2 to give me the same quality. This is what I have done:
1. Create a new movie as type MPEG-4.
2. Imported the jpeg image and adjust the time from 5 seconds to about 2 seconds.
3. Select Share, choose H.264, 1024 kb/s from the relevant option and after the movie making happens, the quality is obviously inferior to that from +QT Pro+.
*QUES 1*: Why is the quality inferior?
I have been to iMovie help and noticed this comment:
"When you import clips in a format different from your project, they are converted to the video format of your movie."
*QUES 2*: Is this why my jpeg image is losing quality? Is iMovie converting it to something else?
Further, when the jpeg image is first imported, it is assigned a clip time of 5 seconds. When I move one of the sliders to reduce the time to just a few seconds, I notice that a black band appears at the top of the image in the iMovie window and as I make the time smaller, the image zooms in and the black band becomes wider. Letterboxing at the top seems to be occuring. This I can't fathom.
*QUES 3*: Why does iMovie zoom in when I adjust time?
Any comments most appreciated, especially those that tell me if iMovie can make a movie from jpeg images with the same quality as QT Pro -- and how to do that.

Re the quality -- I think I have answered this one myself. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that when I select a video option (DV, HD 1080 and so on), iMovie sets up a frame size to suit, and the frame size that iMovie sets up for MPEG-4 happens to be 640 x 480, thus the poor quality of my jpegs when I selected that option. The poor quality had nothing to do with the MPEG-4 format.
Now the interesting things is, MPEG-4 is not limited to 640 x 480. It can be any size. So my question is:
Ques: Can I set up a movie within iMovie that is any size I want? QT Pro gave better results because it allows any size movie at all, and thus adjusted the movie size to my jpeg size (1800 x 1200 pixels) when I imported an image from my digital camera.
As it stands, not even the highest quality option in +iMovie 5.0.2+ (HD 1080) can handle the images from my piddly-little 2 megapixel camera.
