Image format and ImageIO

Hi, there,
I have some questions as follows:
does Java recognize only 'gif' and 'jpg' images?
Are ImageIO APIs available and are they supposed to be able to process any type of image?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Edward

Java can read JPEG and GIF images. Startig with JDK 1.3, it can also read PNG images. Java 2D (available in JDK 1.2 or later versions) has the capability to write JPEG images. The JPEG codec is in the com.sun.image.codec.jpeg package.
The Image IO API is available only in JDK 1.4 (currently in beta).
The Image IO framework allows third party vendors to write coder/decoders for any image format. For this purpose, the Image IO API provides the SPI (Service Provider Interface). This framwork allows you to use codecs of your choice. I think JDK 1.4 comes with the JPEG codec, but not GIF.
Java Advanced Imaging (JAI), which is an extension to Java, has coder/decoders for several image formats, including JPEG, GIF, BMP, and TIFF. To use JAI, you need to download it from the Sun's Java site.
According to Sun, because the Image IO API has been developed to replace Java 2D and JAI codecs,they won't be supported in future releases.

Image Format and Color Space

When I import photo stills into imovie to make a slideshow, does it benefit me if I export the raw photos from Lightroom as 16 bit Pro Photo RGB tiffs and then import those into iPhoto? If I plan to show these on a television, what would be the best color space and format for my images?
Thanks for the help.

Options for image format and encryption when creating disk image?

I am trying to help someone via email, so I am not positive that he is doing everything I tell him .
He was having problems with creating a disk image of his project, but I thought he was getting it now until he sent me a message asking what settings I select when creating a disk image. He included a picture that has the options in drop-down bars. The first two are not a problem, but I don't know where the second two are coming from, as I have never gotten those:
+Save As: [Name of project]+
+Where: [Location]+
These two are what I see each time I do a 'Save as disk image' but he also has a block with these other two options, that I have never seen. I put his default selections in the brackets:
+Image Format [read-only]+
+Encryption: [none]+
I took a look at iDVD's options for archiving a project, thinking that he had done that, but I still do not get these options.
Any information appreciated.

My RAW files suddenly says "Unsupported Image Format" and can't import new pics

Hi all,
A week ago I imported the latest bunch of RAW-images from my Canon EOS 30D (.CR2-files) and all was working great. I did take some of the pics and exported them to an e-mail and sent them off to a friend. Then after rearranging my home office I was trying to import some pics from my iPhone 4 - won't work!
And the RAW-images are not supported any longer!...??
Facts:
- iMac 2,66MHz Core 2 Duo/4GB/OS 10.8.1
- Aperture 3.3.2
- Aperture Library located on a Netgear ReadyNAS NV+
Have searched for a solution without finding anything that works...
Have tried to:
- repair permissions
- examine database
- tossed com.apple.Aperture.plist to the trash
- am right now trying to rebuilding database as a last resort
Anyone have a good idea as I'm very reluctant to belive that rebuildning will work?
BR,
Pete

Thanks for your reply!
I've looked into it a bit.
The ReadyNAS uses Linux Ext3/Ext4 file system.
Found that my rights to Aperture Library has been downgraded to "Read only" even though I'm the admin...
Won't take changes either... Get a message stating that I don't have the privilage to change file rights...!!
I've just started a copy session of the 125 GB large Library to the internal HDD... It seems like a good idea to have it there - even though it's eating massive amounts of disk surface! Almost 20%...
I'm calling Netgear tomorrow - how the heck can may rights be changed, just like that???
Funny thing it's been working fine for a pretty long time, it's after Mointain Lion it has started to acting up.
I did have similar problems the day after upgrading to ML but after a firmware upgrade of the ReadyNAS it worked like a charm again - until yesterday...
Hope that I'm allowed to change the rights when it's been copied to the internal disk... Been typing and researching file system type etc for at least 15 mins now and it's still "preparing to copy"
Here's what I found in Console, the line called "2012-09-13 01:13:16,238" gave it away for sure (while trying to import new pictures).

Raw Files Appear Deleted or Corrupted Suddenly in Aperture with Unsupported Image Format Error

I have been using Aperture 3, latest update, for the past year. Today, I tried to import new raw files from my new Sony RX1r and, as far as I can see, all raw files in Aperture give the "Unsupported Image Format" and alert symbol in the library where not only new files should be, but also ALL PREVIOUS RAW FILES. These files do no even show up as existing in the iPhoto Library.
This is, needless to say, distressing, as hundreds and hundreds of photos seem lost. Also, the files show a reduced pixel size and file sizes all go to .5 Mb. Some of the photos seemed to show up initially and look fine until I tried to open them, then they all either disappear or show the Unsupported Image Format instead of the opened file. I have tried rebuilding the iPhoto library, but no help.
I have looked in these discussions and see similar problems with Aperture. Perhaps, Apple has not made an update for the RX1r from the RX1 for raw files, but why should all older raw files now be corrupted, especially those recently made with my Olympus OM-D? Had no problem with Aperture until this disaster.
Please help.
William

Just an update. Restarted computer and attempted rebuilds of iPhoto library a couple more times and finally files and photos mostly recovered, except for those I had tried to open. Aperture seems to have a problem, or a host of them, dealing with RAW files, and there is no update yet for the Sony RX1R for Aperture or iPhoto. Lightroom 5, on the other hand, seems to work great with these files directly, so that will be where all photos go for now. Will iPhoto and Aperture just become old archives? It is so infuriating that Apple does not allow for simple importing and exporting compatibility with such an excellent program as Lightroom 5 just to protect their somewhat poorly supported Aperture. I've been a staunch Apple supporter and user since the 80's, but having more doubts about the direction this company is taking.

HT3946 Unsupported image format

I've been getting a message "This photo was adjusted using an earlier version of APPLE RAW processing" unsupported image format and it's been doing this to photos I took today and my older one's any advice on how to fix this?

What is the make of your camera? This problem has occured recently mostly for Lumix and Nikon cameras:
First try, if reprocessing the images will help:
See this section of the user manual on how to do this for selected images:
Reprocessing Images from Previous Versions of Aperture
If this does not help, you may need to register your camera with the the launch service database again, see this post by Alan Roseman:, Re: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
There is a "typo" in the command given in the link above, so read also the following posts on how to correctly enter the command and how the fix is supposed to work

Unsupported Image Format Error- Damaged files???

I have been working a series of pictures (all .jpg) and doing some editing. Pictures were fine.
I went back in today and a fair number of pictures are now indicating unsupported image format and just show red. I can see the image in the thumbnail and briefly if I press "M" or click on the red background. The image will flash and then go back to the red-background with "unsupported image format" message.
What happened?
Can I get back to the Master somehow and save the image?
Are there certain edits you shouldn't try in a .jpg (vs. RAW) file??
I am afraid to do more work on the pictures for fear of damaging more files.
Thanks.

Hi Pittsburgh,
I don't have a quick fix except to go and find the master file. If you're using a referenced file, this should be easy enough; just navigate to the place you're storing all the masters. If you're storing all your master files in your Aperture library, this can be opened by right-clicking the library icon, and selecting "Show package contents". You might need to do this 3 or 4 times to navigate through the library, folders, projects and import groups etc, but it is possible to dig right down to the originals.
Once you've found the original file, how does it look? Can you open it with other apps? (Be careful not to save any changes to this file). Is the file there?
If you can answer this question, you'll give us more info to work with and a better chance at resolving your problem.
Of course you could look up this problem in your manual, or Time Machine back a while and restore either file or the project. But these are last ditch efforts (the manual especially

Format, image format, partition in disk utility...

I'm hyper in my thoughts of what I wanna do and hypo in really doing them. So this question comes from someone who is know as a geek amongts his folks (and is) and has been using a computer since 10 years and OS X since 3 years now....
If one wants to have a clear picture of what a disk and disk image is all about... how will u put what "format", "image format" and "partiton" are and how they relate to each other.
My need to finally know disk utility more came from the fact that now I want to have a shared iphoto library, which according to a Apple support article, needs to be on a disk image for some permissions related issues. at the moment i have just put the entire library in the shared folder in Users and have set the premissions to let all user accounts in my system to access it. i still dont understand why that would not be apple's way.
anyway, i want to have a more clearer view about what lies inside disks and disks images. so if u could please answer my question above.
thanks
Neerav

Ok thanks for pointing out that i need to use NTFS instead of FAT.. And the order of partitions..
I----------OSX----------I I------Windows----I I---Install---I
My only issue now.. ( atleast i think it is my only issue )
Im a noob at this, so please dont get mad.
But as i understand, you are using the information in this link
http://discussions.apple.com/message/17365855#17365855
to bypass (Or Un-grey) the "create a usb" option.
Now my only issue is that there is no "create a usb" option, i have
"download the latest windows support software from apple"
And
"install Windows 7"
I stuck... ive tried remote disk, rEFIt, installing from usb, installing from dvd.
Dont know where else to go.
Once again, thanks for your help.

ImageIO correlation between format and mimetype

ImageIO has method for getting readers by both mimetype & format, but writing only by format. Is there a defined mapping between ImageFormat and Mimetype. or if you read an image with :
ImageIO.read(new File(path));
or
ImageIO.read(new DataInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(imageData)));
how do you find out the format of the BufferedImage
thanks paul

It's not that strict. A BufferedImage doesn't remember its input's mimetype. The closest connection would
be that a BufferedImage has a ColorModel. For example, it could be an IndexColorModel with 256 opaque
colors -- GIF, you claim, but the imput could have come from a PNG or even a JPEG. (Or I could have created
it directly in memory). What you have to be mindful of is that not every ImageWriter and image format works
well with every type of ColorModel. For example, if your BufferedImage has an alpha channel (it is either
transluscent or a bit mask) you can successfully write it to a jpeg file, but most tools (apart from ImageIO!)
will be unable to read it. A couple of posters have mentioned that the ACME GifEncoder fails when
the ColorModel has more than 256 colors, but other GIF encoders are able to succeed. There may be other
concerns as well. TIFF format accepts multiple images in a single file, and again you can do this with
JPEG, but most other tools will only find one image in the file. If you think JPEG is being wimpy, ImageIO with
TIFF lets me compress multiple images with JPEG's compression algorithm, but the tool I'm using to
view the results can't handle that, sigh.
The bottom line is if you're interested in writing out one specific image, try it and see, and tweak it until it works.
If you're trying to implement code that works across a variety of input mime types, be ready for lots of
testing, to discover the special cases.

Hello,
I previously used Firefox on my old Mac G4 with OS 10.3.9; the above issue existed with that system and Firefox 2.00.2 (or similar). I then "tried" to move to a G5 Mac with OS 10.5, hoping that an updated Mac Operating system and updating Firefox would solve that problem.

Therefore, when I download .qif files and try to import them to Quicken, I get a message that this is a corrupted file:

Well, in the end, I just gave up and deleted the photos, in the hope that it was something to do with them. Took some more photos and they seem to have imported without any problems at all.
Given that the same irksome photos loaded on the wife's macbook without so much as a murmur, how weird is that?
Still- all's well that ends well. Thanks for the suggestions- much appreciated.

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.
Command + Option + Esc
That way you can "force quit" the Facetime App.

Aperture 3 and DNGs from LX5 raw files: unsupported image format

My LX5 arrived, and I tried converting a raw file to DNG with Adobe DNG Converter 6.2.0.21 beta and importing it into Aperture. No luck: Aperture says it's an unsupported image format. I tried setting the compatibility as far back as possible in the preferences, and still no luck. Any idea why this doesn't work? I used Adobe DNG Converter multiple times to work with raw files from unsupported cameras, so it's a real surprise to get the unsupported image file message.

Unfortunately, this is more about Apple dragging its feet than a cutting edge issue. I got an LX3 and upgraded to Aperture 3 in February of this year. RW2s straight out of the camera always imported just fine. However, I've never been able to get a DNG generated from an RW2 with Adobe DNG converter to work. Interestingly, DNGs from another file format I use (PEF) work fine in Aperture.
I submitted a issue report to Apple about the RW2 to DNG problem back in March, and like so many other suggestions to them, it seems to have vanished into the ether.

The crawled property of Image width and height - is there a differnce when the image is png format?

Hi,
We are indexing file share with images and get the properties of Image Width, Image Height, Image Size (we show it as refiners in SharePoint after make it managed properties). Somehow when the picture is png format - we see only Size but not height and width.
Is that any setting that should be done in the file share (when i select an image in the windows explorer window i can see all its properties, and it seems that png files do expose the width and height properties

Hi Keren,
According to your description, my understanding is that when you tried to crawl file share with images, the ows_ImageWidth and ows_ImageHeight crawled property for PNG file could not be generated.
For your issue, I can reproduce your issue in my SharePoint 2013 environment. For a workaround, you can upload the PNG images into SharePoint images Library and they would work fine.
Best Regards,

Canon 7D, .CR2 and the miserable RED "Unsupported Image Format" screen

I have seen a lot of posts on this:
First, yes, all of my software is up to date ~ running Mac OS X SL 10.6.2 and Aperture 2.1.4
I just got the 7D ~ my system is set up to automatically open Aperture when card reader and/or camera is plugged in.
I have been shooting in Camera Raw, not sCR2, not mCR2, just .CR2 and large JPG simultaneously.
Obviously, the JPG imports fine, but that dastardly "Unsupported Image Format" red screen pops up.
I can't seem to find the file to open and see if it works in iPhoto ~ even when I am in iPhoto and try to show my Aperture library, it is not there.
So, the big question is this: how do I download .CR2, find them to then convert them (and what am I converting them to?) and import those converted files into Aperture?
I know, I know a lot of questions...but am appreciative of any help someone is willing to throw my way.
Thanks

I mount the drive to see it in the finder only.
I shoot both RAW & Jpeg the same time.
I explore the Jpeg thumbnails, skipping over the raw files which takes a little longer to load.
One main advantage doing both/
Now anyone can load the Jpegs to view, otherwise they may not have viewer or software to see RAW files.
For safety, I load the whole card file to the desktop.
From here, I pre-sort the images to a folder within.
Otherwise it's back & forth reloading the whole card file into Aperture picking out a few, and doing the process 10 - 20 more times for other images not related.
Or making mistakes along the way. A simple slip of the wrist, or happy mouse.
Now any software you chose, It can load from saved file on desktop.
**The card anytime it's put back in camera gets reformatted.
Or set aside for safe keeping until the process is complete in case of power failure and or crash.
Reformatting the card is a must in the camera vs just deleted at computer.
This might be the X crisis you see of old data mixed in.
Other Issues/
By default for years, compact flash cards & reader.
On the Canon 1DsMkII, it has two slots, CF & SD.
Along comes SDHC, and off to do wedding, get back to computer to load from reader and the computer says, we have no clue.
Card readers are specific to SDHC.
I had a thumb drive reader for SDHC but never gave it a thought there was any difference.
Prior/
The camera smarter, picked the SD slot to record to if pulling & replacing CF.
So I was shocked not finding the images on CF at first.

When you're zooming/panning on stills in Premiere Pro, does it matter what image format the stills were scanned and saved as???

I have several hundred stills that that were scanned at 600dpi in jpeg format. I know that 72dpi would be the norm for images in video, but I intend to zoom in at least 200% on many of the stills. So just to be on the safe side, I scanned them all at 600dpi.
In terms of panning and zooming on stills in Premiere Pro, does it matter that the images were scanned as jpegs rather than tiffs or png files? Will that cause problems in Premiere Pro CC for playback or does the image format not matter? If so, would it be wiser to convert all the jpegs to png or tiff files prior to importing into Premiere Pro CC? I understand that they would have to be tiffs or png files to have transparency for compositing purposes. But I only plan to do Ken Burns style moves on the stills, no compositing.
Thanks very much in advance.

DPI doesn't matter in video, look at the frame size of these images instead.

Yes, JPEG is a lossy compression format. TIFF, PSD, PNG are lossless compression and are a better choice for using for your purposes. However, do a test and see if the JPEGs might look OK so you don't waste time rescanning the images.

It should not matter much. The thing to be concerned about is the frame size. Using over 4000 pixels in either dimension is going to severely affect your performance. 3840 x 2160 (2x the HD frame size), I found, works well for most all landscaped oriented images. Try it and see if that works for you.

Convert? No, that would not help your images performance or quality. Try a test with a JPEGs and see if they work for you. Otherwise, rescan as TIFF, PSD, or PNG and resize the images to 2x the HD frame size.
Hope this post helps guide your decisions.
