Image size problem after converting from Managed files to Referenced files.

I recently moved to Referenced files for all my images. I use a plug-in (Graphic Converter 8.8.2) to resize all images to a consistent size (1440 pixels wide, landsacpe format) for a web app that I use (Sandvox). With Referenced files, when I drag and drop the externally processed image, it shows up at exactly one-half the correct size (720 pixels). As a test, doing exactly the same opeartion with an Aperture library utilizing managed files, there is no problem...it works as expected.
As a temproray work-around, I found that instead of dragging and dropping, I use the Aperture Export function, everything is correct. This is not really what I want to do because I have a lot of images to process.
This is Aperture 3.5 and Mavericks, but the problem was there with with Aperture 3.4 and OS 10.7.5.

Thank you for the suggestion and running the test. I changed the Preview settings to 1440, and then 2560 and finally, Don't Limit. Quit and relaunch Aperture between each setting. No luck.
But you gave me a hint: maybe the problem has to do with the images being first Managed and then moved to Referenced files. So I tried one that has never been a Managed file and everything works correctly! Don't know if this is a bug or a feature.
Mystery solved, but I still have a lot of images to reprocess.
Thank you for the help.

Problems after converting from 1.3SE to 1.4SE

I have a very vexing problem that I need some help with.
When I run my program using SDK 1.4, weird problems crop up -- controls don't always respond to clicks (they seem to be pressed but are not released), the menu fonts are oversize/accelerators are not displayed, table column headings are separated by a small gap, etc. These problems do not occur when I run under 1.3.
Any suggestions are muchly appreciated.
Cheers,
Dawn

I know the feeling. Especially with 1.4.1, which if you read down through these reports, is not working very well. In 1.4 they rewrote the "focus handler" and that apparently has introduced a huge number of problems. I've given up on 1.4 as it is now and I'm using - with some degree of success 1.3.1_02 (the current one is 1.3.1_06).

Convert from Managed to Referenced

Greetings,
I posted this question once before, just wanted to try again.
I followed Sierra Dragon's recommendation on upgrading my library (over 300GB in size). I am about to convert from managed to referenced, but I have a specific filing structure in Aperture that I would like to maintain on my FW800 drive.
Basically, every folder starts with the year, the 2 digit month followed by the name of the month, (2010 10 October). Within each of these folders are my projects. This sorting helps me keep track of my favorite subjects.... (My family).
That being said, when I convert, it would appear that Aperture will keep each picture in the project but not do so by folder. I want to maintain the folder structure. Does anyone have any input on how this is accomplished.
My thanks to all.
De Colores...
Michael

Hi Michael,
I don't have time this morning for a thorough (or, apparently, concise) response. See if this is in any way helpful.
I followed Sierra Dragon's recommendation on upgrading my library (over 300GB in size). I am about to convert from managed to referenced, ...
Good. Moving your Masters off your system drive (assuming that's where they are) should give you a performance boost as well as allowing you to expand your holdings.
but I have a specific filing structure in Aperture that I would like to maintain on my FW800 drive.
Why (I mean that)? What advantages do you get from this unique filing structure? Can those advantages be had with anything simpler, more standard, or easier-to-implement?
That being said, when I convert, it would appear that Aperture will keep each picture in the project but not do so by folder. I want to maintain the folder structure.
This is, ime, a waste of your time. Aperture already doesn't store your digital negatives this way. (Right-click your Aperture Library in Finder and select "Show Package Contents to see how Aperture stores your files. Look but don't touch.) When you convert from a Managed Masters to a Referenced Masters Library, your Library structure remains untouched: your Image Folder structure is not altered. All that happens is that digital negatives are moved, and the pointers in your Library are pointed to the new locations outside the LIbrary instead of the current locations inside the Library.
One of the powerful but odd things which Aperture does is to separate image management from file management. File management structures are fixed (and unwieldy). Aperture frees the user from those confines (and for many users, keeps this secret). You surely know this already, but now as you convert from a Managed Masters Library to a Referenced Masters Library is a good time to examine it again. You want to view your Projects by date? Go to Projects View and sort by date. You can group by year and drill down. With effective Project-naming, your can filter by type (e.g.: family, personal, work, birds). Your tools for image viewing are much more powerful. Want to see all shots of your dog during the first year of its life? No problem (as long as you've keyworded well). You can even set up Smart Albums -- as many as you like -- for this or (almost) any imaginable sub-set of your images. And when your interests change, you can delete the Smart Album (or Album) and not worry at all about losing your images.
I realize none of that is new to you. The point I'm trying to make is that your Library structure can and should be designed foremost to meet your image retrieval needs (and not your file storage needs). Each digital negative lives in one and only one Project. Beyond that, you are free. In your case, it may make sense to create a structure based on family rather than one based on date. The date structure is hard-coded into Aperture -- you can't lose it, you can always use it, and you don't have to reproduce it in your Library.
My suggestion is to treat separately your file storage from your image storage (don't use your file storage structure as your image storage structure), and develop an image storage structure which works great for you that is not based on "when shot". (And again, "when shot" is very valuable -- so valuable, it's irremovably hard-coded into your images and into Aperture, which is why you needn't recreate it.)
Back to your question: if Aperture won't create the Finder folder names you want, use the great Name Mangler to batch rename your Finder folders. At most you'll have to run it through twelve times, once for each month. This would be a one-time change. After that, you'll have to manually create new folders (might as well do them in sets of twelve), and then when you Import point to the storage folder.
None of that is, respectfully and imho, worth the effort.

Problems after updating from Mavericks to Yosemite.

Hello everyone.I have noticed some battery problems after updating from Mavericks to Yosemite like no charging at all (but the orange led was on )and not able to fully charged.I solve them with SMC reset and PRAM reset.Furthermore, battery discharges faster than before and its really annoying.Now I have notice that the upper right corner of my mac is getting hot.I'll appreciate any help
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

Does converting from dvd to mpeg4 reduce file size?

Ive searched over and over and cant find the answer to this.
I ripped the DVD Bruce Almighty onto my computer using DVD decrypter. I then converted it using Videora Ipod converter. The ripped file was something like 6.5 gigs. The converted file is only 660MBs. Is this normal ?
Also I have seen it happen opposite, where I downloaded a clip of a diamond store robbery and it started as a 9,791KB Windows Media Audio/Video file and after i converted it, it became a 40,990KB Mpeg-4 Movie file.
Any help or explanation is greatly apreciated
Oh and I watched bruce almight and it worked great, im definately not complaining that it took up less space, just curious of why and if the videora default settings are possibly converting to a smaller bit rate or something that is going to reduce quality when watching on ipod or itunes.

yes thats compleatly normal. You're looking at 3 differant video formats that all compress differantly and efficiantly. The ipod uses Mpeg4 and h.264 which is a more efficiant version of mpeg4. What you have to rememver is when converting from other formats, the video becomes that new format and losses its old compression bit rate (how much data is prossesed per second) and format and gets a new bit rate and new format. Like when I edit video, its done in a format called DV on which 10 minutes of video takes 2 gigs. But the finished product becomes a dvd whichi can fit 1 hour of comparable video in the same space. Let me explain more.
Mpeg2 is the video format of dvds. Mpeg2 is a pretty effiant codec but requires a pretty high but rate to be acceptable. Mpeg4 can do with less data and achieve around the same quality. Also you have to remember that vidora is resizing the video to a lower resolution making the video even smaller.
As for a video getting bigger, thats normal as well. As I said is that the new file will achieve a new bit rate. Mpeg or wmv may need to be reencoded at a higher mpeg 4 bit rate to keep around the same quality of the original video. If you encoded the video at the same bit rate as the old video, youll loose alot of quaity form being double compressed.
All this is hard to explain if you know nothing about video formats and how convertion works. Hope some of this makes sence

Officejet Pro 8500 and Adobe Photoshop CS4 64 bits Image Size Problem

I have a Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bits desktop computer. After installing the Officejet Pro 8500 multifunctional drivers all was working OK. Images were being printed nice and with the correct size using Windows print option. After installing Adobe CS4 suite, all images printed from windows or Photoshop have incorrect size (photoshop prints it smaller and windows prints it larger).
I've installed all photoshop patches and re-install Officejet 8500 drivers, but the problem persists.
I've also tried to make a clean installation of the whole computer from the beginning
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? What would be the windows/HP files that were changed by Photoshop?
Thank you.

I'm on the phone with HP tech support about this problem. He said he's gonna charge me to fix the problem and than he put me on hold. I'm waiting to find out how much money I've saved. You put some dollars in my pocket. Thanks!!!!!!

Incorrect Image Size Insert/Download into/from Database

We have used the Oracle Forms6i version 6.0.8.18.3 to add picture by using the
statement:
read_image_file(get_file_name,'JFIF','s_image.image');
The database used is Oracle 9i version 9.0.3.0
The original picture is a JPEG file which is with 10,484kB file system size.
After inserting into the database via the Forms6i, the size in database is
2,152,740 Bytes only! Then we download this picture from the database into the
local hard disk of a machine with Forms 6i statement:
write_image_file('output.jpg','JFIF','s_image.image');
The file 'output.jpg' is with 1,958,603 Bytes!!!
We then examine the two files and found that the resolution of the original
picture is 305dpi but the one downloaded from database is just 72dpi!
We have the following property for the image item 's_image':
image format: JFIF
image depth: original or RGB
compression quality: none
display quality: high
sizing style: adjust
Please advise how to fix this problem, we should maintain everything the same
as the original picture when inserting into the database. Much thanks.

it is that you use Oracle util,
when you read image from local disk ,image is translated to Oralce Form Formats!!!
so when you re-write image to local disk ,the size must be change.

Muse 2014 - Problems after converting a Site with Safari

After converting a site to muse 2014 and exporting it to html the JS-error message "Einige der Dateien auf dem Server fehlen oder sind ungültig. Löschen Sie den Browser-Cache und versuchen Sie es erneut. Wenn das Problem weiterhin besteht, wenden Sie sich an den Autor der Website." ("Some of the files of the server are missing or incorrect") apears when opening every site.
I did not made any change to the site itself, the site was only converted and re-exported.
The error is only shown with Safari, but i only tried with IE 10 under Windows

When you republish your site, make sure you upload all files. New versions of Muse may change JavaScript files or CSS files for pages that you have not changed. The error message is indicating there are expected files that are missing or that files it found and loaded were generated from an older version and need to be updated.

How do you convert managed files to referenced files?

I have exported all the files that I mistakenly saved to my aperture library.
since I've exported them by year and month I can easily incorporate them into my referenced files on various external hard drives.
but how do I now actually get the managed files in the aperture library out of the aperture library? (I am trying to make the aperture file smaller so that it can more easily stay on my laptop).
and is there a way to get rid of the managed files without having to reimport all the files and reimport all the metadata …

As I understand it:
You had a bunch of original image files and imported them into AP using managed.
At this point the original files are totally separate from AP, since AP has copies of the originals in its library file (a package). If you relocate, AP will not put the files back where they were, especially since you have moved some files around in the database.
If you haven't done much editing to the masters, consider creating a new library and a new import. Otherwise, try relocating a small amount of your projects to see how AP sets up the folders on the disk.
But AP will not automatically write the masters back to where the originals were - the relocate process involves you indicating where the files will go. As I recall, you have to choose a folder structure from several choices and these may not parallel the originals. Plus, as I said above, since you have moved files around the database, you will definitely not get the same layout as the originals.

Receiving a message in my word document after converting from a PDF to word. Please advise

After converting and dowloading that converted file from a Adobe PDF file to a word document I then open the word document to see a message stateing

Please proivde advise on how to sucessfully convert the Adobe PDF file to a word document.

Hi Buster,
The error message you were receiving occurs when you try to convert a dynamic PDF file created with Adobe LiveCycle Designer. This file is usually already a fillable form. Unfortunately there is no workaround available for converting documents like this within the ExportPDF service.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Problems when converting from pdf to word

I am a translator and I get most of my work in pdf files. So I convert the pdfs into words to be able to change the text and edit. However, when dcuments are converted from pdf to word I have found they become very unstable and difficult to work with to the point I usually end up not using the coverted file. Is there any place I can go for training about what to do with those documents? Can anyone relate to this problem?
thanks

Hi patryba,
You can access ExportPDF here: Adobe Acrobat.com.

Image size changes after saving and then reopening

I'm using CS6. For example I change the image size to a 4X6 and then save it. Then when I open the file it will be 7.5X5. What's the fix? Thanks for your time.

I'm using Photoshop CS6 on a Windows 7 - 64 bit system. I'm using the Image Size dialog box and saving the file as a 4X6 at 300 dpi from a psd file to a jpeg file. When I open the file it is 5X7.5 inches at 240 dpi. I've been playing with it and have just figured out that when I save the file as a psd file it stays the size I've created and it changes when I save as a jpeg file. This is change is recent. It's worked properly in the past. Thanks for your help.
