I am planning to send some images to Alamy they need them as 24MB images how do I know when they are

Good morning I have submitted some images to Alamy and they like them, which is a great start, they need a Jpeg file size of over 24MB when uncompressed. Opening a JPG in an image program such as Adobe Photoshop will show you the uncompressed (open) file size, I have no idea how to proceed can you help please, many thanks
Kind regards
Sheila

Hi Sheila
A 24Mb JPG is a bit of a strange thing to ask for, but image size, vs resolution vs dpi vs size on disk vs size when open in Photoshop, is something that seems to cause more confusion than almost any other subject on this forum, and at my camera club, and I dare say, in the editorial office at Alamy - or at least at the desk of their new trainee who is doing work experience while waiting to go to uni.
I had not heard of Alamy, but they were easy to find, and as you'd expect, they have a page with guide lines on how to submit images
http://www.alamy.com/contributor/help/prepare-images.asp
Bottom line is to give them full resolution high quality JPGs (10 or more). They just say RGB, so play safe and make it sRGB.
BTW I had to laugh at the arbitrary way they list 'unsuitable' cameras.

And nothing about iPhones!
BTW This answer has sat waiting in a Word document after the site went down just as I was in the process of posting it. Nice to see it back on line, but now I have to gou for the evening.

How Server will know when some client Get disconnected

Hi...
I am devloping a chat application.... there are loats of users. and one user can have many friends in his/her list. and showing in two groups as Online And Offline.
How Chat Server will know what is the user's Status(online or offline) When the user will get disconnected due to Internet failure
" Let you are a user having 10 friends, and when you loged in, at that time you have 5 online friends and 5 offline friends. lets after some time one of your online friend get disconnected from server due to any kind of netwrk failuer, then how server will know about it."

When the server tries to write to the socket and verify that it is OK, then it will return an error.

Pictures are being saved as firefox document i need them as jpeg image

since installing firefox, i click on a picture which is jpeg image and the save turns it into firefox document. it took a while to get it to save but i can not find where to change this item. i don't know why it changes they come in in the right format. and my business is pictures so i'm starting to freak, a little, alright a lot. thanks mark

When you you right-click to save the picture, type the name of the picture and add .jpeg after the name. e.g. '''mypicture.jpeg''' . It seems that pictures from certain sources (like an iphone sometimes) are causing this problem. Any pictures that you have already saved as firefox documents can be fixed by right-clicking and selecting '''rename''' and adding '''.jpeg''' to the name. This works for all windows operating systems.
(if you have enabled viewing of file extensions in your folder options you will need to delete '''.htm''' from the name before adding '''.jpeg''')

Need help [JS]: select images/captions in InD, switch to Bridge and write to XMP

I've got a javascript for CS3/Tiger that I'm writing that eventually will let a user select an image and a caption in InDesign, then tells bridge to write the caption data into the image metadata. I need help - the script works in pieces, but not when put together.
It's built as an indesign script, then follows the procedure to create a script object to send to bridge. When it runs, the indesign portion works fine, but nothing happens in bridge.
The script is below, with comments.
Can someone help!? Thanks.
// This is the InDesign portion of the script, which was tested separately and is working fine. Right now, for testing purposes, the data from this portion isn't even used by the later Bridge portion but once I get the bridge part together, it will use those variables.
#target "indesign-5.0"
var myObjectList = new Array;
//Script does nothing if no documents are open or if no objects are selected.
if(app.documents.length != 0){
if(app.selection.length != 0){
for(myCounter = 0; myCounter < app.selection.length; myCounter ++){
switch(app.selection[myCounter].constructor.name){
case "TextFrame":
var myCaption = app.selection[myCounter].contents;
$.writeln(myCaption);
break;
default:
var myLink = app.selection[myCounter].graphics[0].itemLink.filePath;
$.writeln(myLink);
// here's where I create the string of the script to send to Bridge.
// the script itself is almost completely a lifted from the SnpModifyMetadta sample from the Bridge sdk
// it basically finds a certain image file and modifies the description metatata. i hardcoded the caption text and image path just for testing- eventually i would like it to use the variables from indesign.
// this script works fine as-is when run in the original Bridge scripting context.
// the method here of concatenating and sending the myScript string works fine when i use a different (smaller) script. so i can't tell why it's not working!?

Recently I received an e-mail from a user asking me to remake the script I had posted here a while ago.
I rechecked my previous post and found a couple of serious mistakes. So I revised it according to what he asked. Each page in his InDesign document contains one image and one text frame with description.
At start the script checks the selection. If nothing is selected it processes all pages in the document. In case two objects are selected – it checks whether one of them text frame and the other a rectangle and if the rectangle contains an image, then it reads the contents of the text frame, replacing hard and soft returns with spaces and writes this text to the corresponding image’s description field.
In the end, it updates all links and saves the file.
The script works both on Mac and PC, assuming that CS3 installed in the default location so long as it depends on libraries:
/C/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Bridge CS3/AdobeXMPScript.dll (on PC)
/Applications/Adobe Bridge CS3/Bridge CS3.app/Contents/MacOS/AdobeXMPScript.framework (on MAC)
So, if necessary, correct these lines.
Here is my script in case somebody is interested:
#target indesign
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var mySelection = app.selection;
if (mySelection.length == 0) {
    ProcessPages();
else if (mySelection.length == 1) {
    alert("One image and one textframe should be selected.");
    exit();

New to AI and need help with individual images

Hi,
A client sent me her website mock up as an .eps file. I can open that in Illustrator but I'm having a hard time "grabbing" the individual images and putting them into Fireworks and then ultimately they need to make their way to Dreamweaver (I know how to do that part!)
Can I get some help on saving the individual images in the design so that I can use them again?
Thanks
Debi

It's important to note you don't have to use any other app. But if you're unfamiliar with Ai, it may be easier.
If you've got an item you can't seem to select in Ai you need to check if it's locked, the layer's panel should show a little lock next to any locked object. That's another one of those questions that's practically impossible to answer effectively without seeing the file.

How can I know the length of the image data section of a PSD file

I'm a C++ programmer developing a project to parse PSD files, and it's necessary to know whether there is a length field indicating the length of the image data in image data section of a PSD file, if not, how can I know the length?
Thank you.

Hi All,

Thanks

HI Pete,
Thanks for your response.
I am in the process of migrating maintenance plans which has been created already in the past 10 to 12 years. During this period, many maintenance plans were cretaed and scheduled. Some of the maintenance plans might have become obsolete and need not be migrated. The maintenance plans may not have scheduled in the near past. How can I know that these are not scheduled in the near past?
If the user sets deletion flag or deactivate it. i may not have the scheduling happen.
Apart from these two statuses of maintenance plan, is there any way I can identify a stopped maintenance paln schedlue ?
If so, Which SAP table will give me the required information
Thanks, ebenalfa

I want to skip some html code part when refersh the page, how can we know

Hi,
i want to skip some html code part when refersh the page, how can we know when we pressed refresh button or F5 key
thanks in advance....

There's not really any simple way to do this. Maybe tracking the page the user should be one from every page in the site and if the page being accessed is the same as the last one accessed, assume it was a refresh.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles on Blu Ray? Anyone knows when it will be back in stock?

I never got a chance to pic up Planes, Trains, and Automobiles when it hit Best Buy stores and since it sold out, its been on backorder ever since. Anyone have a clue as to when the movie might be back in stock? The website says usually in stock 1-2 weeks, but as I've said its been on backorder forever it seems.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Really? So Best Buy doesnt have a good inventory system?
I find it odd that they cant find out an approx. date of having them back in stock since amazon, walmart, target, etc. all know when they are on order, how much are on order, and approx when they will arrive. Heck even amazon posts "back in stock on such and such date" on most movies that run out. I even called my local Best Buy store and they had no clue which is why I just ended up going to ebay.

Has anyone had a problem with Draft Emails getting sent with Mac OS 10.8.2? It just happened to me and sent a few drafts out to a potential employer I planned on sending out tomorrow.

Hi, one question & one suggestion...
What possible things are connected at home but not at the store, inlude every cable, etc.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Hello, eco1.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like you are wanting to move your iTunes media folder to an external drive and have iTunes this folder from this location. If this is the case then I would recommend taking a look at the article below.
