Hiding images from users

Hello,
I'm developing an application that displays several animations. I'm keeping the animations in .png files and showing successive frames in a way similar to that described in the java2d and swing tutorials.
My problem is that I would like to distribute the application without allowing the images to possibly be stolen or edited. If I just put all the files in a single jar archive, they can still be uncompressed and edited, can't they?
So what is the easiest and best way to hide the binary image data from inquisitive users?
Thanks for any hints.
Dusty

your pictures aren't safe - if you display them they
can be simply screenshooted and saved. why are you so
worried about that somebody copies your pictures?
would it be so so horrible for you if somebody would
copy and modify a picture from your app?Yes, you're right. My problem isn't so much that people can use the images. I'm more worried that somebody might substitute the images with something else with the same name, thus changing the app.
The funny thing is that I'm a very strong advocate of open source software. :-D
(having said that, my policy is to always release the source for my software. However, in this case, I'm not the only person with a say in the matter, nor am I the one drawing the animations that are going to be displayed)
if they like
your app why not give them the freedom to use your
pictures as desktop icons or wallpaper? or are your
pictures so bad that you have to hide them from the
world?
Like I said, it's more that I'm worried that "bad" pictures will be substituted, and possibly the program redistributed with my name on it. However, a good licence would "solve" this.
However, since there doesn't appear to be an "easy" way to hide the images, I think I'll take your advice and just load the images from the filesystem. Like you say, it' s not that harmful.

Hiding images from work flow

I was wondering if it is possible to hide images in a locked area of Aperture, so that others are unable to view when Aperture is opened?
Thanks!

Can I somehow let the user select multiple images from device?

Is there any way to let the user select multiple images from the device media gallery?
The CameraRoll only selects one image. And the FileRefernceList doesn't show thumbnails (so you have no idea what you are selecting).
Is there a way, or maybe some sort of workaround, for this? Is there a way to maybe "read" the users gallery on the SD-card and output your own gallery that the user can select from?
I'm developing towards both Android and iOS so cross-plattform is a must.
Thank you guys

+1 to this question. I'm looking to do the same thing but haven't had any luck yet.

Can I design a web page to use the background image from the user's installed persona?

I build web applications, and I would like to have an application use the background image from whatever persona the visitor has installed, if any. Is this possible, using css/js/html?

No that is not possible with code on web pages (userContent.css could probably do this).<br />
The persona is only used as the background for the user interface (toolbar) area and not for websites.<br />
The dimensions of the persona with the height of 200px is also not enough to cover a page.

Illustrator settings stopping images from loading.

Files i've previously created in illustrator and exported to PDF now give me and error when opening both the origonal file and the PDF. I am told the pictures within it cannot be found, and i am asked to repair/replace/etc. - when sending these raw files to another Adobe user, they can open the file and see all the images - and when i open the PDF in acrobat i can see them all fine. But when i open the PDF/AI in illustrator it tells me the images cannot be found.
This is obviously a setting within my illustrator - i just dont know where to find this - as now im having to re-use these files and this makes it all but impossible to work with them.
Any help is appreciated.

Were the original AI files saved with PDF compatbility enables? Yes
Were the PDFs saved with AI Editability enabled? Yes
Have you tried opening the PDF in Photoshop and selecting only the images. It should be able to resave the images from Photoshop and then relink in AI.
This isnt what i want - i can re-save the images as is with acrobat, i want this "cache" thats in the background to disspear and show me the images embedded, rather than hiding them in-favour of looking for a live image. I have over 300 imges over the booklet im doing - so i want illustrator to do what its told and let me re-use these pages without me having to save more images and link them again, then have the same problem later in the future

I am trying to import developed images from LightRoom 5 Photoshop 6 for further editing. I am receiving this message and the images will not open.....'Could not open scratch file because the file is locked, or you do not have necessary access permissions or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file. How do I fix this? I would greatly appreciate it if you would respond with terms and procedures that a computer ignorant user, such as me, will understand. Thanks.

Have you tried restoring the Preferences yet?

How to capture an image from a clip

Hi,
Is there a way to capture an image from a movie clip using iMovie 06?
I would like to save some frames from the vedio footage as photos.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
New Mac User
Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hi iMac User:
Yes-you can save a single frame from iMovie by selecting the File-->Save Frame As option. From there it will ask you where and in what format you want to save it.
Just be aware that the quality won't be perfect because it is taken from a video clip.

How can I take a single selected image from a slideshow to pass to another page?

I have a slideshow of several images from which a user needs to select one (for example the image that is featured in a lightbox after cicking the thumbnail) and then go to another page for further details on that image, with the same image displayed again, and where I want to embed some html to offer further options based on that selected image. How do I pass the name of the object from one page to another? How do I detect that a user has selected an image?
I have tried setting each image in the lightbox as a hyperlink to a new page, and also tried setting its caption as a hyperlink, but neither of those ideas seem to work (at least in Preview).
Any suggestions please? I am working in Muse CC 2014.

Creating a hyperlink from the text caption should work. Try previewing: File/Preview Site in Browser to test.
(I tested it using both Preview and File/Preview Site in Browser and it did link to the page I assigned)

Displaying an image from a URL

I have a program which visits a html page and creates a JComboBox with all the images from that page. When the user selects an image from the combo box it displays that image in a JLabel. This works fine with images that exist, when I try it with an image that doesn't exist I want it to realise that and display a message saying that "the image cannot be found". Heres part of my code that handles the selection:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent f) {
                    JComboBox cb = (JComboBox)f.getSource();
                    String imageName = (String)cb.getSelectedItem();
                    try {
                         imageUrl = new URL(imageName);
                    catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
                         System.out.println("Image Collection Error: " + ex);
                    catch (Exception e) {
                         System.out.println("Some sort of exception: " + e);
                    picture.setIcon(new ImageIcon(imageUrl));
          });When I select a bad link image from the list I was hoping the catch blocks would trap it and I could make adjustments accordingly, this does not happen. No exception is thrown at all.
Any ideas of what I can do??
Bow_wow.

Thanks for your help, I have changed it to the following code:
ImageIcon imageToDisplay = new ImageIcon(imageUrl);
                    ImageIcon badImage = new ImageIcon("logo.jpg"); // An image I know exists
                    int status = imageToDisplay.getImageLoadStatus();
                    if (status == MediaTracker.COMPLETE) {
                         picture.setIcon(imageToDisplay);
                    else {
                         picture.setIcon(badImage);
                    }It works now, thanks again for your help!

Insert an image from a Database

Hi - I am trying to insert an image from a database into a webpage. Basically when clients register on the site they upload their logo which i want to come up when they look at their account details and when they post a job. When I test the file upload the file name is in an "image" field in my database and the image is in the website files on the server but I am having problems trying to get the logo to shop up on the webpage. I have one table called Recruiters where all the client's contact details (and logo upload goes) and a table called jobs where all the job details go when they post a job (this does not hold the logo upload).
At the moment i am trying to insert the image into the Recruiter account Details page where all the clients contact details are and all this information comes from the Recruiter table (including the image) but the image does not appear. the query in my recordset is:-
SELECT *

Hi
You were right – I had to insert full path and it has worked so thanks.
Would you be able to help me out with inserting the logo into a job post page and the recordset I will need to insert the logo?
Basically I want to add the logo that is uploaded when a client registers on the site onto a job info page. To access the the details about a job, jobseekers just click on the job that interests them which takes them to the job details page which pulls all the information from the "Job" table in the database. However, the logo is stored in the "image" field in the "Recruiter" table in the database.   I have tried setting up a recordset as:-
SELECT Image
FROM recruiters
WHERE RecruiterID = colname
(colname = $_GET['RecruiterID'])
<?php require_once('../Connections/laura.php'); ?>
<?php
//initialize the session
if (!isset($_SESSION)) {
session_start();

$logoutAction .="&". htmlentities($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
if ((isset($_GET['doLogout'])) &&($_GET['doLogout']=="true")){
//to fully log out a visitor we need to clear the session varialbles
$_SESSION['MM_Username'] = NULL;

    // Besides being logged in, you may restrict access to only certain users based on an ID established when they login.
    // Parse the strings into arrays.

    $arrGroups = Explode(",", $strGroups);

Photo images from dig. cam [one is error and other won't open] questions

My wife inserted the sd card in the card reader and copied about 70 photo image files to the Mac. The camera that took all the 70 photos was a Panasonic DMC-LZ5 but I don't think the camera model matters much here.
For the first time, 2 of the many images seem to be corrupt. Mac X reports one photo image has an error while trying to open and reports the second image won't open.
My main concern is whether or not to just delete the two error/corrupt jpg images. My other main concern is that I don't want to keep the two images if it could affect or corrupt my hd or Mac system in some way.
I normally just trash corrupted files; however, in this case I went ahead and attempted to open both of the 2 troubled files myself later and they both opened up in Preview and didn't report any error or corruption. However, one of the jpg images defintely is corrupt when viewing it as the bottom of the image is definitely messed up. However, the other image now opens perfectly and looks fine to the eye as if nothing is wrong with it.
Here is a link to the one photo image that isn't quite right [note the obvious distortion at bottom of image]. Link is http://mysite.verizon.net/vzenvo78/question595.jpg
Further very relevant information: The SanDisk sd card that all the 70 images were on is a 1 gig card and the sd card seems to be a total loss. The sd card can't be initialized/formatted by disk utility and furthermore the sd card is no longer recognized by the Panasonic camera - the Panasonic camera won't even preview the images off the card or allow me to format the card even from the camera.

Hello,
I see what you are talking about. I just discovered this same exact problem on a friends G5 after he uploaded pics from his Leica.
This is what I did: I ran Disk Utility from the system restore disc to verify and repair the drive. DU reported Volume Bitmap problems. DU was able to repair the disc. Next, I created a new user account and tried uploading the images from the camera to the G5 and it worked just fine. The images loaded like they should.
I also reinstalled the drivers that came with the camera.
Delete any files that your Mac reports as a problem. It's just not worth leaving them on the drive.
So...... run Disk Utility from your system restore disc. If it reports errors, hopefully DU can repair them. If not, one option is to get DiskWarrior here:
www.alsoft.com or TechToolPro4 here: www.micromat.com
One other idea is how old is the card?
Next idea is to create a new user acccount: System Prefs/Accounts. Try using that account to upload the same images. See if they upload as they should. If they do, then the issue isn't system wide, it's just in the other user account.
Remember to always back up your images/audio/data often as you never know when you might need to do either an Archive or Erase and Reinstall.

Neboot, 10.5.2 image from OSX Tiger Server fails to new macbooks

(I apologize in advance, I looked through several threads but could not find answer
to my situation. I also apologize because I tried to get help at the Bombich forum,
but an admin marked it "solved", when in fact it isn't.
Thus I turn to the Apple faithful for help with this matter.)
Using NetRestore 3.4.3, and I'm imaging MacBook (early 2008) labs,
with 26 MBs in them.
How I Do it: I get one MB, and using Leopard from OEM, I then patch
up to Leo 10.5.2/QT 7.4.5/Safari 3.1 and I install the elementary apps
necessary ( Kid Pix 3, Kidspiration 2, and Nystrom).
I also install Office 2004, patched up to 11.4.1, and iWorks 08.
I verify the image is correct, and then firewire connect the MB
to my Master machine, a MBP running 10.5.2 and NetRestore 3.4.3.
I then create the NetRestore image from the MB, and then create the NetInstall
nbi for the image. I then copy the items from the MBP to my imaging server,
a PPC iMac running OS X Server 10.4.11, via FW.
I then set the Netboot options in the Server, and reboot the server for good measure.
I then start hooking up the 25 MBs into a Cisco 2950 switch, which the
Server is hooked into. I then boot all machines into NetBoot ( cmd-n)
and image ( slowly) all the machines.
The Problem:
Once the images have been created on the machines, and after reboot,
I then log into as the local admin, then set the server binding.
Once the binding is complete, I log out, and then verify the binding sticks.
I then log in as a managed user.
This is where the image "breaks". The managed user becomes locked out
of most Universal apps, and apps that should run under Rosetta,
come up with their icons changed to the "ghostbusters circle"
(Circle with line through it), and give the error " This application cannot run
due to it not being supported on this architecture".
However, if I log back in as local admin, the applications act as normal.
Also, if I log in or log out as a managed user, the system often hangs,
either at login or logout, leaving me with just the Leopard space screen,
and will sometimes force me to force quit the
system to get it to respond again.
Contacting Apple, their only suggestion was to start again, but to use SUI
from a Leopard Server Disc, which I didn't have but they were nice enough
to send to me anyway, and create the NetBoot off of that.
I decided however to give NetBoot one more try, and tried it again,
this time making sure I repaired permissions on the original image
(MB) before making the NetBoot image in NR 3.4.3.
I still recieve the same problems afterwards.
I then did a test in which I created both a second local admin account and
a local standard account, and both acted like a managed account:
apps could not be used, "ghostbuster circles" and log in/ log out hangs.
I'm hesitant to use Leopard SIU, because I read all the reports of it's slowness,
but is there something in 10.5.2 that breaks Netbooting?
I've had no problems with Tiger Images in the past, so I'm pretty sure
i got my steps down.
Update in my testing :
Today I decided to try and troubleshoot the image again, so this time
I took the existing MacBook I used to make the image from,
and I re-installed the problematic applications again,
as well as delete the secondary admin and the standard user
from my config, as I would add these later after the computers
have been imaged.
I then ran fix disc permissions on the image drive, and now I am using
Net Restore 3.4.4, to remake the image andwhen done, I will re- create
the nbi for the netinstall.
I will test out the image shortly to see if it will work.
ok, follow-up:
after completing my new image and re-creating through NetRestore 3.4.4,
as well as new nbi's, I copied them over FireWire to my OS X Tiger .4.11 Server.
Set Netboot in Server Admin, made the Leopard image the default, restarted
the server.
Attached a new MacBook IC2D 2.4ghz to my Cisco Switch that the Server is on,
and attempted NetBoot.
Net Restore came on and began it's duty. 36 mins later, the image was on,
verified, and the machine was rebooting.
Upon reboot, I logged into the MacBook, as the primary admin,
and verified the UniBi apps and the PPC apps would launch correctly.
I then created the Standard account ( Student) on the machine,
and the logged out and then back in as Student to test.
All Privalges for Student were correct, and the UniBi and PPC apps functioned
correctly.
I then logged out as Student , back in as Primary Admin ( me) and then
went to System Prefs and created the Secondary Admin (Teacher) for
the machine.
I then logged out as Primary Admin, and then logged in as Secondary
Admin, and verified the UniBi and PPC apps would launch.
I then recieved the "This App is not supported under this architecture"
error with the UniBi and PPC apps under this secondary admin.
I logged out, and then logged back in as Primary Admin (me), and everything
still was working correctly under my account.
I then trashed the Secondary Admin ( Teacher), and created a new secondary admin
(called simply School).
I then logged out as Primary Admin, logged in as School, and same errors
occur, "This App is not supported under this architecture"
error with the UniBi and PPC apps.
I then called one of the PPC app makers Tech Support to see if they had seen
anything like this under Leopard.
Of course they hadn't, but after digging around, we decided to try this fix:
Logged in as Primary Admin, I did a get info on the folder of the app
that was" breaking".
I then added the Secondary Admin to the Get Info panel and gave them
a full ride ( rw) privalges to the folder. I then told the Panel to
push them down ( propagate) to all children within the folder, including the app.
I then closed out of the Panel, logged out as admin, and then logged in
as Secondary admin. I then tested the app, and success, it launched
perfectly!!!
So at this point, I would say there is something more to the point
problematic with Leopard .5.2 's ability to distinguish privileges
to non Leopard based apps. Apps like the iLife 08 suite, and
iWorks 08 didn't exhibt any of the problems I saw with Unibi
and PPC apps under the secondary admin account; they worked as they should.
At this point, I will add this "fix" to my list of drudgery that I do
in finalization of the machine, like setting binding to the local
OS X Server for Managed Accounts, which is next on my list to test,
as that is also problematic with these Leopard .5.2. installs.
Ok, so in part two to continue with my problems
with 10.5.2 image and using NetRestore 3.4.4:
I took the image out to test in a wide deployment.
So with my same Tiger Server having the image,
and my trusty Cisco 2950 switch,
I set up 8 Macbooks to begin the deployment.
The first four I turned on and got connected to the
Server and they began to Netboot fine.
MacBooks five through 8, I then tried to boot them up
and get them in line to begin netbooting, but after taking up to
10 minutes to connect to the server, they all came up with the following
error:
"You do not have read privileges to the source image. Please check
the permissions on the image and try again."
The first four were still imaging just fine, the next four would just hang
at that error message.
So I waited for one to completely finish out of the first four,
and when it did, I tried to netboot one of the second group
of four, and after 10 minutes, it connected and began it's process.
I then tried another in the second group of four, and got the same
"privileges on image" error.
So what gives?
Why can I only do four machines at a time? I know the image is
fine and its permissions are ok, because I can do four machines
at a time. It's when I try to do more than that then the problem
occurs.
Is this a Leopard issue or a Net Restore 3.4.4. issue?
Well, just for grins, I put a PPC eMac onto the CISCO 2950,
and attempted a Netboot from it with the Leopard Universal image,
just to see if it would mount ( the emac is 700 mhz, so it would not
support Leopard anyway).
It attempted Netboot, but came back with the same
"cannot read the disc image error" as seen on the
MacBooks.
But the image worked fine on the first four MacBooks,
only when I attempted to NetBoot #5 did it cause the error.
Could trying to put on that fifth Macbook corrupted the image somehow?
or the NBI?

While patiently waiting to see if anyone else is having my same issues,
I tried a Firewire hookup to my 10.4 server directly
of Macbooks 5 and 6, and tried a Netrestore through Firewire to the Macbooks
off the same image in my NetBootSp0's Resources/Disc Image folder,
and it restored fine to both , with only one error, that came up when it
tried to auto-restart, but I suspect that having to do with it
being unable to shut down the 10.4.11 Server more than anything else.
So:
1. the Image is valid, I can firewire restore from it at the server level
no problem.
2. It did do four MacBooks before saying it was "corrupted" and
"Could not read the image".
3. The Machines all boot into the Leopard NetBoot screen just fine
through the Cisco 2950 switch, and get the nbi to bring up, but
at the point it should auto run, it throws up the "corrupted" and
"Could not read the image" errors.
Unfortunately, I am under a deadline to image 540 MacBooks within the
next 30 days, and my patience is wearing thin......

Disk Utility Image from Disk (whole disk) Error -39...

Hi - I've been trying to make a compressed/encrypted image of my primary hard drive without success. Using Disk Utility so I can have an image I can mount to retrieve files off an external HD when necessary. Booting from external firewire drive (partition 1), and attempting to clone/backup image from Primary internal boot drive to external firewire drive (partition 2). Have also tried the following: setting the save-to location to the second internal hard drive; doing it uncompressed / unencrypted. I have run Repair, Permissions, Disk Warrior and no issues with the file system/drive I'm trying to image.
The only references I've seen to error 39 is End of File (EoF) corruption or error. Since the drive/files check-out, Disk Utility must be creating an error somehow. It always happens when the backup is totally complete, and appears it's finishing up the file.
Any thoughts? Thank you!!

I'm having the same problem on a Power Mac G4 with OS 10.4.6 using disk utility.
I've tried this on a 400gig seagate in a raid array
on a 120 gig seagate
from the raid array to the 120 gig
from a 120 gig to a second 120 gig
from the disk and it crashed and sent an error message to apple
I have plenty of space
I've seen this on the discussion forums so I know others are having this problem.
I'm writing to you pro's in hopes that you may have some suggestions.
I'm just trying to create backup images of my primary hard drive.
I've been in the Mac family since the early 80's... I've found other mac users to be very helpful:)
An ideas??

Save an image from interactive form to R/3 system table

Hi to all,
my scenario is this: Web AS 7.0 (probably patched to the last available patch), NWDS 7.0 and, at the moment, a 4.6c R/3 backend system (within some months we will upgrade to ECC 6.0). I have an online interactive form with some input fields and a user, logged in, fills these fields and pressing the "Submit to SAP" button will save the datas to a custom table on 4.6c backend. All this is simple and is working, but my problem is that one of these fields is an image. The purpose is that the user click on the image field and load an image from local PC and then, pressing submit to SAP button, will save the image on the custom table.
How can I make this? Which kind of context I have to bind to the image field? I have to add a java script/form calc code to image field? And to backend side, how can I do?
Thank you very much in advance,
Enrico

Hi,
In your forms you got the image or a link to the image ? If it's the image the field is define as an XSTRING is supposed. If yes you can add it easily in a database table.
If it's a link, your SAP system ( 4.6 C ) need to the the repository where the image is and then you can add it in the database.If you SAP system doesn't see the repository it's impossible to do so.
Hope this help you.
Best regards
