Image with bound source

OK, so now I have:
<mx:Image source="{boxes..box0.pkmn1.img}" width="32" height="32"/>
When I run the program, boxes starts as an empty XML object, which is then filled by an HTTPService. However, I get this error before anything displays:
Error: Unable to load ''.

I have no idea what any of this means :S...

Sadly not. The same error occurs.
The XML in question is of the form:
<boxes>
     <box0>
          <name>Box 1</name>
          <pkmn1>
               <img>http://pokefarm.adamhaskell.net/_img/animicon/257.gif</img>
          </pkmn1>
          <pkmn2>
     </box0>
     <box1>
</boxes>
I think it would be better practice to remove the number indices on the tags, but then I'm not sure how to access, say, box5. Would that be something like boxes..box[5]?
Thanks for your help on this

Where does Lightroom put HDR in the grid view? Is there anyway to have Lightroom stack the HDR file with the source files?

I can't decipher where (and why) the program is putting the HDR image in the grid. I stack all of my HDR source images so they are easy to track and manage. Other apps/plugins allow you to stack resulting images with their source image. That would be great if there's a way to set that in LR preferences.

Thanks, but this doesn't really answer the question about stacking the HDR file with the source files. Yes, it does put the file in the same folder, however many of my folders have 100s of images (that often look similar) and as far as I can tell, LR places them randomly in the sort order. It doesn't appear to put them at the beginning or end of the sort (usually by date), but somewhere randomly in the middle. Even if it could be made clear what method it is using to sort them, that would help locate one file among hundreds.
Ideally, however it should allow you to stack with the stacked source files. Is there anyway to do this? If not, is it a feature that could be requested?

Filter plug-in: How to mix my RGB image with source document image properly?

Hi All,
My problem seems to be very common, but I can't find any answers in documentation.
I made Filter plug-in. It composes RGB image and mixes it with user source image in the document.
Now I load FilterRecord->
inData to byte array and recode each pixel with HostCSConvertColor function.
My code looks like that:
byte
*input = (byte*)filter_record->inData;
int
width = filter_record->inRect.right - filter_record->inRect.left;
int height = filter_record->inRect.bottom - filter_record->inRect.top;
byte
*transfer_buffer;
int size = width * height * 4;
transfer_buffer = new byte[size];
byte *output = transfer_buffer;
int
planes = CSPlanesFromMode(fpb->imageMode, 3);
int16 color[4];
for(j = 0; j < height; j++) {
    for(i = 0; i < width; i++)    {
      for(k = 0; k < planes; k++)      {
        color[k] = input[i * align + k];      }
      HostCSConvertColor(filter_record->colorServices, space, plugIncolorServicesRGBSpace, color);      *
output = (byte)color[0]; output++;      *
output = (byte)color[1]; output++;      *
output = (byte)color[2]; output++;      *
output = 255; output++;    }
// for width
    input += line;
} // for height
After that I mix my RGB image with output buffer and make back transition via
HostCSConvertColor to the document Color Space.It works very slow and looks ugly.
But I can't find any other way to mix my RGB image with photoshop image which can be not RGB Color Mode.
Your help will be very appreciated.
Sofia

Is it important to you to be able to process input color spaces other than RGB?
You can limit your filter to accept only RGB data if you set things up properly in the PiPL resource (e.g., yourfiltername.r file).
Here's an example for a filter that accepts only RGB or grayscale images:
SupportedModes
noBitmap,
doesSupportGrayScale,
noIndexedColor,
doesSupportRGBColor,
noCMYKColor,
noHSLColor,
noHSBColor,
noMultichannel,
noDuotone,
noLABColor
EnableInfo { "in (PSHOP_ImageMode, RGBMode, GrayScaleMode, RGB48Mode, Gray16Mode, RGB96Mode, Gray32Mode)" },
With the above, the filter will be disabled (grayed-out in the menu) for modes other than those listed.

Bridge CS4 won't output to pdf multiple images with same filename

Hiya...my googling efforts have thus far failed!
I've got CS4, and in Bridge, I created a New Smart Collection to find all filenames in a folder containing "." or ".jpg" - which in turn searched through all the subfolders like what you used to be able to do in Photoshop CS3. Very simple stuff, but all the images are jpg's, but in multiple folders (I don't want to move them out of the folders, as the files came from an external source, and there are heaps of folders, and I don't want to pdf each subfolder seperately as it will take forever).
The problem is that some of the files have the same filenames (again I'd prefer not to rename, as it happens a lot on this project, and they are all over the place). So whilst Bridge will show the thumbnail images correctly in the content tabbed screen in my New Smart Collection, but once I've done the Output to PDF thing, for example, instead of showing both different images it has pdf only the first image but repeated it twice. And this happens multiple times throughout the pdf, the more times the same filename is used, the more times the first image gets repeated.
I know that it is messy to have multiple similar filenames, but why can't bridge just place the image anyway? It allocated a space for it on the pdf and does show it in bridge, it just doesn't seem to survive the transfer to pdf well.
The only other thing that I have done is use the below link (which was posted on another adobe forum thread) to create a custom pdf output template (nothing too fancy, just number of rows / columns, size, font etc). But I've tried using the standard bridge templates and it does the same thing.
http://www.proficiografik.com/2009/08/03/save-custom-pdf-output-template-in-adobe-bridge-c s4.html
Any help would be appreciated...even if to tell me that I am being unreasonable!
UPDATE 16/11/09
Just to let you know that I seem to have resolved the bug inadvertently with one of the Adobe updates. The below is the link for the AdobeOutputModule-2.1-mul-AdobeUpdate.zip which was released on 2/19/2009 - which allows for headers & footers to be placed in the Ouput pdf. I finally installed it today, and everything seems to be working fine now (i.e. I can pdf multiple images with the same filenames and the pdf will actually show each different image rather than repeating only 1 of the images).
Must have been a fix installed in the contact sheet templates that get installed with the update - not sure why the original version was corrupted, but I've left that with the Adobe guys (I submitted a bug report - and they were able to replicate the problem but hadn't fixed it as yet).

When I click import from disc I am asked to choose a disc and then I get this message:
The following photos will not be imported because they are already present in the catalog. To see these photos in the catalog select 'Show in Library' (the import will be canceled).
This is followed by a long list of images. If I click 'Show in Library' I can see all the images with the same filename. And then they start to automatically write over those images with images from the disc. However they keep the same metadata and keywords from the previous images. If I click on Import and deselect the "don't reimport suspected duplicates" box, it imports only the images that don't share filenames and none of the images that do.
Is there a way of setting the "Don't reimport suspected duplicates" box in preferences?

How do I save Lightroom image edits in source file?

My experience with the trial version of lightroom is very positive in terms of the convenient and powerful capabilities for editing images and the associated metadata. But I can't find a way to save the "develop" edits to images into the source file for the photo I am working with. So far, I am able to save the metadata into the file but not the image editing. From what I read, I fear this is not possible without silly round about exporting to new files then copying / moving multiple copies around, etc. Without this ability, I am pretty sure I will not purchase lightroom and will miss out on all the powerful features. Without an OPTION that turns on the equivalent of a SAVE button, managing my photos collection would be a nightmare.
So my question is: How do I save the edited (i.e., developed) version of a photo back into the same file where the original photo was stored?
Please, please spare me all the reponses telling me how stupid I am for wanting to do this and that the cognisenti and professionals would NEVER do this. But please just tell me there is a secret place to turn on this option in lightroom.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same requirement to save in JPEGs files all non-metadata edits performed in Lightroom, in order to share modified pictures without duplicating files. By the way, I think it’s going to be more and more required by casual Lightroom users, as people get used to instant photo sharing in many situations where quantity matters more than quality
Here’s a nearly automatic (at least, scalable) solution that works, although it slightly lowers the quality by re-compressing the original pictures.
Once for all:
Download and install the wonderful Lightroom plugin “jf Run Any Command”, provided as donationware by Jeffrey Friedl here: http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/run-any-command. This “export filter” plugin allows you to run a command of your choice with each exported file, as part of the export while it’s going on. (You may also browse Jeffrey’s blog to find many other useful and beautiful things.)
In Lightroom, pre-define an export settings as follows:
Export to the hard drive, to the original picture folder, without adding the exported file to the catalog
Name the exported file “EXPORTED-{Filename}” (or anything different from the original file name)
JPEG format, 76% quality (see An Analysis of Lightroom JPEG Export Quality Settings at http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/jpeg-quality)
Keep all metadata
Here’s the interesting part, the Run Any Command settings:
Command to execute for each exported picture: copy "{FILE}" "{Path}\{LIBRARYFILENAME}" (this replaces the original file with a copy of the exported file)
Command to execute upon export completion: del {FILES} (this deletes all exported files).
NB: One could wonder why not directly export with the original file name and silently replace the original files (I believe Lightroom would allow this). It’s just a matter of error handling: in case the export goes wrong, no original file is changed at all.
The easy part: each time you want to save edits:
In Lightroom, select the pictures to save, and export them with the pre-defined settings. You're almost done. The JPEG files are ok, but inside Lightroom you see the modification effects doubled, as their specifications remain in the catalog database and they apply on modified JPEG instead of the original files.
While the entire set of "saved" pictures is still selected, in the Develop module switch Autosync on and click Reinit to erase all modification specifications from the catalog for all pictures, then press CTRL-S to write down to disk any metadata updated by Lightroom -and accept if required to confirm that Lightroom values should replace externally set values.

PS: Papa Ben, I'm curious about the decision you finally made

Images with Transparency Cause Rendering Bug in Acrobat

Try this at home: Export a file containing an image with transparency to PDF and open it in Acrobat (any platform, any recent version): the page containing the image will have all text rendered in what looks like bold or faux bold, depending on the font. The document looks fine in Preview and printed (even from Acrobat).
Can anyone else reproduce this? I get this behavior consistently.

Hi bdepaepe, I've had a look and I believe I have experienced the error you mean and solved it.
The reason this occurs some of the time, but not always is because the source code is not the same each time, as the adverts change every refresh. The error only happens when two of the < div> tags of class 'banneritem' which are on top of each other have a height of 84px each as opposed to 80px (although even if this is the case the rendering issue doesn't always happen).
The reason that some of the 'banneritem' < div> tags have a height of 84px is because inside them there is an <a> tag which contains an < img> tag, and the <a> tag has not been set to 'display: block;'. <a> tags are inline elements by default, so shouldn't be used to hold block level elements such as images unless the styles for the <a> tag include 'display: block;'.

How to make a one-color fill images with masks in documents from our multiple layers ?

Hello everyone!
I`m to open PSD document with same layers. I need to:
1. Save the jpg file (preview) in a certain place
2. All layers with masks to make one-color fill instead of images with masks.
Thanks
This is way ?
var theLayers = collectLayers(app.activeDocument, []);
alert (theLayers.join("\n"));
function collectLayers (theParent, allLayers) {//---------------------------------------------------
if (!allLayers) {var allLayers = new Array}
   else {};
   for (var m = theParent.layers.length - 1; m >= 0;m--) {
      var theLayer = theParent.layers[m];
      if (theLayer.typename == "ArtLayer") {
           var bar = new Array;
           bar = theLayer.bounds
           l0= Math.abs(this.app.activeDocument.width - theLayer.bounds[2] - theLayer.bounds[0]);
           l1= Math.abs(this.app.activeDocument.height -theLayer.bounds[3] - theLayer.bounds[1]);
            if((l0+l1)>0) { // layer mask is set
                // delete this layer
                //create new layer
                //create new mask from array bar
                //fill selection
            allLayers.push(theLayer);
   return allLayers

I may not quite follow.
Would you mind posting an example (a screenshot with the Layers Panel visible for example) and an overview of the resulting images you want to produce?

Image with percent width causes Y offset

When I set a spark or mx image to a percent width, say 30%, the image is offset from the expected / desired Y location. I have the Image in a HBox and I'm expecting it to be flush with the top but it seems to maintain the same center point as the full sized image adding padding to the top.
Any suggestions?

Image - with a WriteOn effect

I'm trying to make a image draw on my canvas. I've got an image with tribal band styled lines that are really intricate and I'm trying to make them write on over the duration of my motion clip. I'd rather not copy the entire image with lines and use the write on behavior to make it work because it will take hours. Is there an easier way to do this. My source image is photoshop and the lines are one of the brushes I've got in photoshop.
Any Ideas?

I mean... you could, depending on the shape, animate some crazy shapes that you're using as a mask. But yeah... if it's intricate, the best way will be to make lines out of it...
Maybe you could use the replicator with the sequence replicator in some fun way to do this, but you'd still have to trace the lines for that by hand.
There isn't a quick and easy filter to drop on to make it do what you want.

Opening Images With Java

How do you open images with Java? It is a JPEG, and as most will figure out from this post, I'm new to this. :P thanks in advance for any effort...

Well... Can you possibly tell me what to put in (eg Source Packages) so yea... I'll look into the tutorial, but I also have another question. Would this work?
Image img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(C://desktop/[gamefolder]/[hiddenimages]/[image]);
When [gamefolder] is the name of the folder, [hiddenimages] is the sub-folder with the images in it, and [image] is the image...

How to mark (psd) Images with the Circle Symbol without duplicating them

I would like to import my layered images in Aperture.
The problem is i would like to further adjust them in photoshop cs3 without creating a duplicate.
Is there a possibility to mark this images with the Circle Symbol (for edited with external editor) or do I really have to open each image than close again, delete the master and then the remaining image with the circle can be opened and further enhanced in Photoshop without duplicating the image.
Another example:
I like to open a psd file within aperture with: edit with Adobe Photoshop CS3.
The Image should open without being duplicated. Then I could drag the layer into another PSD document and close it again.
Right now I would end up with a Master Duplicate which I have to delete afterwards.
I know I could use referenced files and say show in finder but I like managed better,
also:
Show in finder does show you only one image (I like to do that to 5 or 10 images at once).
bc

Like I said if you want to get into the programming business you can modify the aperture database directly but I don't know of an easier way with managed masters. You can always just do your workaround to files that you are actually working on and you only need to do it once.
Sorry there is no answer to easier answer to deal with all of them at the same time. At least none I can think of off the top of my head.
RB
Ps. Lightroom can just open your PSD files but that is an apples and oranges thing. Lightroom is not trying to manage your masters for you in a managed library an ensure that nothing modifies them, if you are ok with that method than referenced files should be ok with you as well, you can always use referenced for your legacy PSDs and use a managed methodology for your new images going forward starting with the source image.

Printing image with mask in Adobe Air

I have createad an application for framed photos.This application creates a Canvas which can hold several framed photos. Following is the code of the framed photo:
<mx:Canvas id="imageContainer" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" clipContent="false">
        <mx:Image id="image_img" source="app:/image.jpg" maintainAspectRatio="false" width="500" height="500" cacheAsBitmap="true"/>
        <mx:Image id="mask_img" source="app:/mask.png" maintainAspectRatio="false" width="300" height="300" cacheAsBitmap="true"/>
        <mx:Image id="frame_img" source="app:/frame.png" maintainAspectRatio="false" width="300" height="300" cacheAsBitmap="true"/>
</mx:Canvas>
when these are loaded, I use:
image_img.mask = mask_img;
to apply the mask on the image. this looks fine on the screen, but when I try to print it the mask is not applied!
Actually I have found two ways to do this. The first is to add the Canvas directly to a print job:
     var printOption:PrintJobOptions = new PrintJobOptions();
     printOption.printAsBitmap = true;
     myPrintJob.addPage(frameContainer, null, printOption);
     myPrintJob.send();
this has a very good print quality but the masks do not work.
the second way is to take a "screenshot" in a bitmap and print that:
     var previewBD:BitmapData = new BitmapData( frameCanvas.width, frameCanvas.height, false );
     previewBD.draw( frameCanvas, null, null, null, null, true );
     var b:Bitmap = new Bitmap;
     b.bitmapData = previewBD;
     var s:Sprite = new Sprite;
     s.addChild(b);
     myPrintJob.addPage(s, null, printOption);
in this case the mask works but the print quality drops drastically!
is there any way to print with good quality AND having the mask?
is this a bug of AIR or am I missing something?

here is the full code of the PhotoFrame file. (the mxml of which I sent in my first post)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" creationComplete="init( )"

            import mx.controls.*;
             * Initialize
            private function init( ) : void
                image_img.mask = mask_img;
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:Canvas id="imageContainer" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" clipContent="false">
        <mx:Image id="image_img" source="app:/image.jpg" maintainAspectRatio="false" width="500" height="500" cacheAsBitmap="true"/>
        <mx:Image id="mask_img" source="app:/mask.png" maintainAspectRatio="false" width="300" height="300" cacheAsBitmap="true"/>
        <mx:Image id="frame_img" source="app:/frame.png" maintainAspectRatio="false" width="300" height="300" cacheAsBitmap="true"/>
    </mx:Canvas>
</mx:Canvas>
and this is the full code of the main application file. in the printing I have commented out the bitmap printing part which has low quality.

    <mx:Canvas id="frameCanvas" width="100%" height="100%" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" backgroundColor="#FFFFFF" backgroundAlpha="0.01" />
    <mx:Button top="400" left="200" label="Print" click="printMe()"/>

Note: I also tried printing the newFrame directly instead of the frameCanvas, but the mask is still missing.
finally I attach the three images used so that you can have the full project.

Seamless repeating pattern - using embedded images with clipping masks

Hi forum,
We struggle a bit creating a seemless repeating pattern that includes embedded images with clipping masks applied.
Our pattern is a 550x550mm black square with various embedded inserted on top. All of these images have Clipping Masks applied to hide unwanted areas.
These images are placed so they create a seamless repeating pattern and this includes areas that overlap the square.
Once we create a swatch from this pattern the repeatable area becomes too big as it includes the unwanted areas hidden by the clipping masks.
Because the repeatable area is now too big it's actually not repeatable.
We tried various things in order to solve this issue. Pathfinder/crop to delete the unwanted areas in the images etc.
None of them worked good enough.
We though of just livetracing the images, but due to the complexity this is not an option.
Do we really have to do our "cutting" in Photoshop or do you know any fancy tricks for issues like this?
Appreaciate your insight
Kenneth

Kenneth,
You may try the destructive deed, with the Clipping Mask selected:
1) In the Transparency palette/panel dropdown list select anything but Normal (Multiply is fine),
2) Object>Flatten Transparency, just keep the defaults including 100% Vector,
3) Shudder.
This should reduce the size to the Bounding Box of the Clipping Path.

Is there a way to open image with another phogram outside photoshop?

Hi
i have cs6 and bridge cs6 ,windows 7 64bit
is there a way to open images with another program then photoshop?
for example a script or other ways?
i'm talking about jpg,raw files for example
for example i would like to send 4 photos to ptgui or other programs
thanks

PTGui Pro should appear in your 'Open With' list bottom section, at least it shows on my system (Mac)
Be aware that PTGui can only handle jpeg, tiff and PNG and it only handles Raw files using the DCraw converter (Open source originally developed for Linux).
Only applications that support the particular file type you select appear in the Open With list.
And on a Mac I can drag and drop jpeg and tiff from Bridge to the project assistant.
