How to improve performance of java.awt.choice

Hi!
In my GUI I'm using a java.awt.choice. The problem is, when my app starts this choice is filled with lots of values with add(...).
This takes quite a long time. I've already set the choice invisible before the filling, so a little bit performance is gained there.
Is there any other way to tune this choice?
Thank you!

Try to fill the choice before adding it to the container

How to move images from Picasa to Lightroom 5 on a mac?

How to import images from Picasa to Lightroom 5 on a mac?

Hi, lnmyers,
I have thousands of pictures stored in Picasa, all of which are stored in my Picasa Web Albums. They are no longer in a directory on my hard-drive, that particular hard-drive having died ages ago. Thank goodness I uploaded them to Picasa's cloud before the hard-drive died. Should that ever darken, I am in trouble. I digress. I downloaded the pictures I wanted from Picasa Web Albums to my new external hard-drive that I set up and attached to my mac. For example: I had a an album called "California 2013" stored in the Picasa cloud. I downloaded the entire album to a folder on my Seagate external drive that I call Lightroom within which I have a folder called California 2013. It took about twenty minutes to get them all (300+ photos). Then, I pointed LR to the California 2013 folder on the Seagate external drive when I wanted to catalogue the pictures into LR. I did not worry about metadata; I took whatever came with the pictures and didn't worry about it. I added copyright, keywords, and ownership info with LR.
I hope that helps.

Need a little help: How to move images in a video?

Hi!
I've been searching this throughout the whole forum but was not able to find this. I probably do not have the right terms as I'm not really familiar with Premiere Pro yet. I hope someone can explain me how to do the following: I have a video fragment from a television program and I need added an image on top of this video for a project from university. Now what I need is, that this image moves a long in the scene. I replaced a milk can with another one as you can see in the example, now as the camera moves, the milkcan needs to move along so it will stay at the same place on the table. Is this possible?
Many thanks in advance!

To add to the advice from Ann, if you visit the Creative Cow website there are a mass of After Effects video tutorials where you will find one that is specifically for your task.

How to move image from one hard drive to another - T41

Hi All
I have a T41 which has a 30GB hard drive, over the time I have installed quite a few programs which I don't have the cd's for to reinstall. Now that I am almost out of space I need to swap my present Hard Drive with another one. I already bought a 60GB HD for the laptop but I don't want to just swap it, what I want to do is make an image of the existing HD and past it in the new HD and then swap the HD so that I have everything from my previous HD.
Can I do this with Ghost 2003 or maybe with anyother ghost app. Also what if I just make a backup of the registry and system state through windows backup tools then install windows XP in the new HD and then restore the restore the system state and registry from the backup. In this wall I will loose the hidden partition.
Please advice whether I can image of the current HD and then move it to the new HD.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the responses for far, I really appriciate it.
Ok, I have two question for two response I received:
To infocatchjp:
1. I didn't find any connector for "ThinkPad 2nd HDD Adapter for Ultrabay Slim".
2. Rescue and recovey is a windows tool or built in IBM tool.
3. Would it tranfer the program as well and also the hidden partition for the laptop.
To stbigham:
I went to the website for the given software and checked out its feature. My only question is would the software transfer the existing and hidden partition when it is moved to the new HD.
thank you both for your support. Hope to hear from you soon.

Nokia 7373-how to move images etc to phone memory ...

Hi Ive just bought a cool nokia 7373 and after bluetoothing all my images/videos/music from my old samsung Im having trouble sorting them all into images/videos/music folders.
They are all in my memory card muddled up just now but if I mark all my pics and then go to move marked then send to Images folder its saying not enough memory?
Why is this does anyone know as I thought I had more memory on the nokia than my samsung?
Thanks in advance

Hi Jake,
If you do the following steps, it should work!
- Go to "People"
- Click on "Phonebook" at the top so that the dropdown opens and shows you what it populating the contacts in your phone.
- Uncheck everything but Google. (That means un-check Sim Card, Phone, Facebook, and even Google+)
Once you do this, when you add new contacts, it should default to Google. The only other option is to "train" yourself to select your Google account rather than phone (under "Contact Type") when adding new contacts.

How to send images through java or RMI.?

Hello,
I have a problem with RMI. I had created a canvas on which you can draw anything then when clicking send button this drawing should be reach to another client(s). so please guide me how to do it. and also please give some code if possible.
thanks very much.
umesh m joshi

Hello RoopaSri:
Umm, I don't think it will help in his case. He means to send a drawing from a canvas and not a image file.So that is back to his question
hello umjosh ,
you can get an image object from the Graphics class and RMI the bytes gotten from the image object. U can find in this forum on how to save the canvas. instead of saving, u can send the bytes.
eg Imageicon imgIcon=new Imageicon("imagefile.jpg");
and send it to the remote object. Use
ImageIcon.getImage can used to exrtract the image.
Hope this helped.

How to process images(Zooming) in java

Hai,
In our project,i need to provide an option to the end user to zoom the image, i am able to provide options like rotating an image and flipping an image using java image processing API. If anybody has already visited the website http://photo.stamps.com/PhotoStamps/?source=cj00470773, where we can also zoom a photo(they done it using Flash). My requirement is similar to this site.
I would be greatful if anybody can suggest me about how to zoom images using Java
Thanks

Hi,
You can use AffineTransform to scale an image.

Custom graphics in java.awt.ScrollPane

Hi all,
I have to draw a custom created image in a scroll pane. As the image is very large I want to display it in a scroll pane. As parts of the image may change within seconds, and drawing the whole image is very time consuming (several seconds) I want to draw only the part of the image that is currently visible to the user.
My idea: creating a new class that extends from java.awt.ScrollPane, overwrite the paint(Graphics) method and do the drawings inside. Unfortunately, it does not work. The background of the scoll pane is blue, but it does not show the red box (the current viewport is not shown in red).
Below please find the source code that I am using:
package graphics;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.ScrollPane;
import java.awt.event.AdjustmentEvent;
public class CMyComponent extends ScrollPane {
 /** Listener to force a component to repaint when a scroll bar changes its
 * position.
 private final class ScrollBarAdjustmentListener implements java.awt.event.AdjustmentListener {
 /** The component to force to repaint. */
 private final Component m_Target;
 /** Default constructor.
 * @param Target The component to force to repaint.
 private ScrollBarAdjustmentListener(Component Target) { m_Target = Target; }
 /** Forces to component to repaint upon adjustment of the scroll bar.
 * @see java.awt.event.AdjustmentListener#adjustmentValueChanged(java.awt.event.AdjustmentEvent)
 public void adjustmentValueChanged(AdjustmentEvent e) { m_Target.paint(m_Target.getGraphics()); }
 public CMyComponent() {
 // Ensure that the component repaints upon changing of the scroll bars
 ScrollBarAdjustmentListener sbal = new ScrollBarAdjustmentListener(this);
 getHAdjustable().addAdjustmentListener(sbal);
 getVAdjustable().addAdjustmentListener(sbal);
 public void paint(Graphics g) {
 setBackground(Color.BLUE);
 g.setColor(Color.RED);
 g.fillRect(getScrollPosition().x, getScrollPosition().y, getViewportSize().width, getViewportSize().height);
 public final static void main(String[] args) {
 java.awt.Frame f = new java.awt.Frame();
 f.add(new CMyComponent());
 f.pack();
 f.setVisible(true);
}

Dear all,
I used the last days and tried several things. I think now I have a quite good working solution (just one bug remains) and it is very performant. To give others a chance to see what I have done I post the source code of the main class (a canvas drawing and implementing scrolling) here. As soon as the sourceforge project is accepted, I will publish the whole sources at there. Enjoy. And if you have some idea for my last bug in getElementAtPixel(Point), then please tell me.

}Ah, just to give you some idea: I use this component to visualize a hex grid map with more than 1 million grid elements. And it works, really fast, and requires less than 10 MByte of memory.

Rendering of an 8Bit-tiff with java.awt produces crap

Hi Folks,
i do a downsampling of tiff images. The source tiffs are colored 8 Bit greyscale with a 256 color-table. Now i have 2 possibilities to resample with java.awt:
1. the target-tiff is of 24Bit true color:
BufferedImage objDownsample = new BufferedImage(iTargetWidth, iTargetHeight, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);The result is a perfect looking, but oversized tiff with 16 million colors each pixel.
2. the target-tiff is of 8Bit like the source-tiff:
BufferedImage objDownsample = new BufferedImage(iTargetWidth, iTargetHeight, BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_INDEXED,(IndexColorModel)image.getColorModel());The result is a small sized tiff image of 8Bit. Problem: it now has visible vertical stripes of two colors (which both composed result the source-color i assume).
Does anybody know what's wrong here and how to retrieve the 8Bit color-image without stripes?
Here comes the whole source:
 private BufferedImage resize(int newHeight, int newWidth, BufferedImage image) {
 int iTargetHeight = newHeight;
 int iTargetWidth = newWidth;
 //Create a BufferedImage that fits
 BufferedImage objDownsample = new BufferedImage(iTargetWidth, iTargetHeight, BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_INDEXED,(IndexColorModel)image.getColorModel());
 //A map with all necessary rendering hints to optimize the quality of the image
 Map<java.awt.RenderingHints.Key, java.lang.Object> obj_Map = new HashMap<java.awt.RenderingHints.Key, java.lang.Object>();
 obj_Map.put(RenderingHints.KEY_DITHERING, RenderingHints.VALUE_DITHER_ENABLE);
 obj_Map.put(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
 obj_Map.put(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION, RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR);
 // Draw the scaled image
 Graphics2D graphics2D = objDownsample.createGraphics();
 graphics2D.addRenderingHints(obj_Map);
 graphics2D.drawImage(image, 0, 0, iTargetWidth, iTargetHeight, null);
 return objDownsample;
 }Thanks

As far as I can tell, this solution only allows compositing within the component that is currently being painted. What would be nice is if I could add a custom composite to say .. a JLabel, which paints based on the colors of the underlying pixel data (ie. from its parent container). In this way you could make a JLabel that always inverts the color of what's underneath.
Here, painting to the screen using a composite allows me to get the pixels underneath as the destination raster, the pixels in the JLabel as the source raster, and what actually gets painted which is the destination output raster.
If I paint to a BufferedImage instead, the composite's 'destination raster' is the new BufferedImage's default values which are all black. Thus compositing over this would not have the desired effects described above (inverting the underlying image for instance). The missing piece when rendering to the BufferedImage is first copying the underlying screen data into a BufferedImage before painting to it. How do I do that? Something tells me it's very difficult.
