Help with trying to flip an image

Hi,
I am recent to Aperture and so far so good. I have an image of myself taking a photo through my lens. I shot this off the mirror if an auto-rickshaw in Bangalore and would like to flip/mirror the image so that the Canon name is seen properly. Can someone advise?

Yes sorry. I should have mentioned that I am on the latest version. I can't seem to find the tool/function to perform this.

Help with managing RAW and jpeg images and installing iphoto 9

Greetings: Fist, let me make the neophyte apology and plea - I'm sorry, I should have come here first; I didn't and now I need your help.
I have just purchased a macbook pro (still in its box) with updated software for my older imac os x. I have a number of Canon related photo editing programs (that came with my 40D digital SLR) and Adobe photo elements 6 for mac on the imac. Following some erroneous advice I have made a complete mess of the pictures folder's content by trying to delete images directly from that folder (there are now 6000+ images in the folder, many of which are duplicates(?). Most of the images are not tagged or labeled and some have been organized in/by iphoto (I corrupted the iphoto's library structure very early on by disrupting and editing its images - which might explain why iphoto had a difficult time 'finding' and displaying some of my photos). The picture folder now holds jpegs, smallRAW images (a Canon 40D photo format) and various duplicates of the orignal images - (some of the duplicates don't display as images, but as jpeg logos, which, when opened contain duplicate image or are completely black) The first time I downloaded RAW images into iphoto 6 the RAW data displayed as a black image. When shooting in smallRAW on the Canon 40D, the camera produces a jpeg image for 'easy viewing and editing in the camera' but it looks as though iphoto 6 made duplicates of the jpeg and the RAW data and stored them in different locals in the picture file. In an attempt to get the number of images down, I have been trying to delete them from the picture folder. (My daughters both download images rather indiscriminately in hopes of 'editing them on the computer' which inevitably does not happen) and there is a lot of experimental bracketing of images - shooting raw and different Camera formats etc., all of which need to be cleaned up before I proceed.
Sometime in the not-too-distant future I would like to have iphoto 9 running on my imac with a clean library of images and a seamless way of downloading, editing and storing images (including the RAW data).
The macbook pro is for my highschool-aged daughter, who will run iphoto 9 but not have any RAW image data on her system. She would like to copy some of the old iMac's images to put into her own iPhoto 9 library (probably using a disk, email or on-line photo service - ideally, I would like to be able to copy and remove a number of those images from my HD and give them to her for the macbook)
A few questions and queries: Can I 'dis-able' iphoto 6, while I delete images (RAW and jpeg) from the picture file? (and is this even a good idea).
Once I have edited the # of images down to a reasonable size, should I re-launch iphoto 6, rebuild the iphoto library and then update to iphoto 9 or skip v6 and rebuild with v9?
And now for the 'how stupid is this guy question' - I really had planned to purchase an external backup; but between new the macbook, car repairs and braces it has never come to fruition. So, I have never properly backed up my images. What is the bare-bones, least expensive method for me to do this? I'd even consider burning everything to disks if that works. I can't afford the $ to purchase a new external hard drive right now (really). Budget is set aside mid-November for one though.
I've been looking through some other discussion boards and it looks like I'm not the only one having RAW image issues. I know that shooting smallRAW with the companion jpeg is probably not helping things but I take my camera equipment on extended canoe trips - and we like the ease of on-the-spot editing with this format.
Thanks in advance for your help - Mark

Terence, Is the picture folder the primary source for the images or does that data reside somewhere else?
If you gathered them there, then yes.
I really don't want to have to go through 14,000 images looking for the pictures that I want to keep (or is that my only option?).
Only you can decide what you want to keep.
Why does the computer keep making copies of the images and filing them under date and events?
That's how iPhoto works. It's not a problem usually, only you did go in there and make a problem, and now we are trying to fix it.
You advise not to muck around in the picture file via preview,
No I don't. I advise not to much around in the iPhoto Library Folder.
but if I download images through a program other than iPhotos - image capture or adobe aren't I doing that anyway?
Adobe what? Adobe is a software manufacturer who make many excellent applications, you need to be more precise. And no, if you import photos with Image Capture or “adobe” no you are not interfering with the iPhoto Library Folder.
Can you edit a base image file somewhere and remove it from the HD without iphoto making a copy of it and storing it somewhere else?
This is stunningly easy. Don't use iPhoto. Use an image editor.
I want to look the negatives, decide which ones I want and throw the rest away. Can that be done or am I way off course?
Yes, and iPhoto (or similar apps) make this really easy.
Hook up your camera. Import the pics to iPhoto. Go through the imported pics. Trash the ones you don't want. Then process the ones you do. But you must learn how to use iPhoto to do this successfully
To trash: put the pic in the iPhoto trash and empty it. This removes the file from iPhoto and the Hard Disk.
Process it: If you want to use another editor: You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

HELP WITH TRYING TO DO A FIXED ASSETS REPORT IN DISCOVERER

Hi...
I'll try and explain this simply as I can.
I am trying to do a Disco report to basically list the asset numbers with the cost, the opening depreciation, the YTD depreciation, Accumulated depreciation and the remaining life of the asset.
I can get most of the data from the FABG_DEPRECIATIONS table.
The report will be run for a specific period say for example 05-2008. The problem I have is that for some of the assets there won't have been any depreciation for the year 2008 but I still need those assets to appear on the report showing the cost, opening depreciation etc.
But because the report is being run for a specific period say 05-2008 in this example these assets that have no depreciation for the period are not being displayed on the report.
As there isn't a field (I couldn't find one in any of the tables)that has the opening depreciation I have used a calculation for this which is Accumulated Depreciation - YTD depreciation. This is where my problem is. For those assets that have had no depreciation in the current year being reported on it should use the accumulated depreciation for say 12-2007 as the opening depreciation for the year 2008.
So in the example of reporting for period 05-2008, it show the opening depreciation which would be the accumulated depreciation for 12-2007 and 0 (zero) for YTD depreciation.
That is why I have attempted without success to use a union statement. The sql is below.
I would be very grateful for some help with this please.

Help with Keywording a group of Images

I need help applying keywords to a group of selected images. For some reason I can't get this to work. I've done it before and now it won't work. Here is what I'm doing. I've selected a group of images in a project by using shift and clicking the first and last image I want and using comand to select images that are not next to each other. They all show up in the viewer and the thin white lines show up around the images in the browser. Now I go and add a keyword. It doesn't seem to matter if I use the Keyword control bar buttons or if I type in a key word in the bar in the lower right hand side, the same thing happens. The keyword is only being applied to the primary selection and not the whole group. Why isn't this working? I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but it's starting to drive me crazy. Any help with this would be great thanks.

Help with Importing and Editing an Image

Hello All,
I am working on a project where I need to import an image into LabView and edit it. The gist of my program is that I want to create a VI that generates an interactive floorplan.
I want to be able to import the bitmap or png into my file so I can edit the file by assigning flashing colors to each room, etc.
I tried to import the .png by wiring "Read png" --> "Draw Flattened Pixmap" --> "new picture".
When I run the program I get a "general I/O" error in the "Read PNG" block even though it lets me select which png I can import.
Does LabVIEW 8.5 not allow for importing PNG files? Does anyone have any idea why I am getting this error?
On another note, I was reading about some of the IMAQ VI's and they seem like they may work for importing an image and creating graphics, etc. Should I try to delve a little deeper into the IMAQ stuff?
Thanks much for the help!

Great call on checking whether it was just a bad file.
I tried to convert it from a .bmp to a .png by simply renaming it which LabVIEW did not like...
So I just opened it up and re-saved it with photo editing software and it worked!
Now I just have to play around with my editing options to get the graphics I want.
I'll post some sample code just for suggestions that anyone may have. This is just my preliminary structure without most of my condition statements. All the code inside the case structures will be added when I figure all this stuff out.
My goal is to have each strobe and interlock correspond to a different graphic on the floorplan. For example, when strobe 1 reads red, I want the corresponding room to flash red and vice versa with green and yellow. Also, when interlock 1 reads false, I want a flashing light to pop up next to the corresponding door.
Anyone have any ideas for how to make these kinds of graphics? I figured I may be able to use a color box for the solid colors and LEDs for the flashing lights but I would rather edit the pixels to make it look more professional.
Thanks for all the help!

Need help with adding formatted text and images to Crystal Report?

Here's my scenario:
I have a customer statement that's generated as a crystal report and that has a placeholder for advertisement. The advertisement is mixture of formatted text and images. Until now we only had one advertisement that was always used on the report. The new requirement is that we would have a pool of hundreds of advertisements and would need to display one specific advertisement on the customer statement based on various marketing criteria. They key is that the advertisement content will be determined programmatically and cannot be hardcoded into the report. I'm using Crystal2008 with .net SDK.
Here are the solutions I thought of, but I'm still rather lost and would appreciate your help/opinion.
1) Pass HTML or RTF to the report
Not really sure if this is possible and how to get it done. Also how would I pass in images? Would display formatting be reliable when exporting to PDF?
2) Create each add as a subreport and append it programatically
I actually have this working, but I only know how to append a new section to the end of the report and then load the subreport to the section. I have no other controll of the placement. Is there a way to dynamically load a subreport to a predefined section in the main report? How about adding a dummy subreport in the main report as a placeholder and then replacing it with a different subreport? How could I do this?
3) Pass an Image to the report
I would create each advertisement as an image and then would somehow add the image to the report. How would I load the image and control the placement? Could I somehow define a placeholder for the image in the main report-maybe a dummy image to be replaced?
Thank you.

Hello Pavel,
I would got the third way.
You can use dynamic images in your report.
Just by changing the URL to the image the image can be changed.
Please see the [Crystal Manual|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/cr2008/en/xir3_cr_usergde_en.pdf] and search for images.

Need help with adding lightbox feature to images pulled from .js

Hello,
I've been attempting to add a lightbox to separate images (no group) in a responsive one page portfolio template. Unfortunately I'm not savy with this topic.
The template came with a hover action to apply what I would believe to be a light box image but no other documentation on how to add it to the images. I've looked everywhere.
The portfolio gallery is built in .js Here is some code The image code you see is just copied over and over to add images.

Help with trying to activate a nano sim

Hi. I bought an iPhone 5 from a work colleague and have now tried to have 3 different sims activated on the phone. All that shows is "No Service".
The phone is an unlocked one purchased direct from apple.
I have an additional contract that I took out for my wife which has the same sim type so I've put this sim into the phone that won't activate the sims and my phone accepts this and allows me to make calls so I think this rules out an issue with the iPhone I purchased.
I've spoken with numerous people from the network on the phone and also in their stores but they haven't been able to rectify the situation. They've changed my contract type to an iPhone contract, added the IMEI or whatever it is, had me doing hard resets, taking the sim out and I even wiped the phone and started again but nothing has worked.
I have now been close to 3 days without a phone - can someone please help?! :-(
Cheers

Help with trying to make a rollover button

I'm trying to make a roll over button using this tutorial
http://www.pegaweb.com/tutorials/rollover-buttons/rollover-buttons.htm
and it doesn't seem to do what the tutorial says it will do 2-3 steps in.
The part where it says...
Quote:
- In the Channels window, Ctrl+Click the "Alpha" layer, to select its outline.
- Go back to the Layers window, and create a new layer.
- Choose the Gradient Tool. (Remember that it might be hidden under the Paint Bucket Tool.) Apply a gradient from the bottom of the image to the top.
Mine does not create a gradient that looks like the image they have presented.
I just have the entire wood look, and then the outline of my button is just a little darker. I don't get the white background with the gradient applied to it in the button space.
Would someone mind following the steps at this link and letting me know if it is missing something? It only took me 2 minutes to get to this point before I couldn't figure out why it wasn't doing what it was supposed to.

When you create the button look in the upper left hand corner of the screen and see what type of object you are creating. Placing the mouse of the the three buttons will give you a tool tip of what they are.
The one you want is the one on the right as it will create a pixel based rectangle. Make sure you put this rectangle on its own layer, then you can move it or delete it if necessary. Lock the transparency7 button at the top of the layers panel. The will make sure when you create the gradient it will put it inside the button you made and not outside of it.
If you are seeing just a border I am thinking the middle button in the top tool bar is selected which creates a path. It is possible to fill that path and then create the gradient but you have to make sure that the lock transparency is not checked. Open the paths panel and at the bottom of the panel is a fill button. This creates a pixel based object which you can then create a transparency using the steps above.

Need help with EXIF date on raw images

I have just over 100 images (taken by 2nd shooter) that have the wrong EXIF date (JPEG and raw). They were taken with a 2nd camera that was off by +15hrs 57min.
There are many programs that will easily edit the EXIF date/time on the JPEGs, but they don't work with the raw images.
I've read that Lightroom can compensate for incorrect dates upon import, but after searching, I can't find any information on how to do it. Can someone please help?

I got EXIFTool working and solved my problem down to the exact second.
I was able to sync the times to within one second, based on one one particular event. One shot, taken with camera 1 was right before a handshake, while both people were extending hands, the other shot, with camera 2 (wrong EXIF date) was the actual handshake. I used this information to determine that camera 2 was 15hours 57minutes 18seconds fast.
Using EXIFTool GUI, I modified the date/time shift to decrement 15hours 57minutes 18seconds for all images from the second camera (both raw and JPEG). After this was complete, I checked the times, and the two frames (before and during the handshake) were only one second apart, and in correct sequence.
I imported the images from both cameras into Lightroom and had it rename the images based on time down to the second (YYYYMMDDHHMMSS-filename).
Now everything is great!

Help with Package Maker and System Image Utility

Hi all....
Im trying to use package maker and System Image utility to create a netinstall image. I dont know if im creating the package wrong, or if it has something to do with siu... but when I install the image from the server only the OS installs... not the packages. The packages just get copied to the HD.
Right now im just working on trying to get office to install with the OS...
Any advice would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks...

Just realized that you said the following:
The packages just get copied to the HD.
It sounds like you've made a installer package that's installing the installer packages.
If you simply double click the package you've created and install it, does it do the same thing? If so, then that's what you've done.

SMART errors indicate that the hard drive is going to fail soon, so don't install anything, get an external drive and make a Time Machine backup > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427 Then, take the iMac to an Apple Store to get the hard drive replaced.
All hard drives stopped working with the use, so you shouldn't be worried about this if you have got a backup
