Images from Mac to PC

Greetings,
I scanned some drawings as jpegs on my mac and they appear skinny on my work PC. Specifcally, if I measure the image on each screen, the PC image is 1.08 times the width, but 1.16 times the height of the mac image.
This is a problem! Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Well again I am not certain what you have set up. Let's say for arguements sake that both computers have a display resolution of 800x600. Now if both monitors are the same (CRT or LCD) 19" with maybe 17.9" or so viewing area then I would expect both images to appear the same. If one monitor is 19" and the other, say 17" with probably a 16.1" viewing area even though both are set at 800x600 the displays will still look different. My PowerBook with a 15" display set at 1280x854 is vastly different from my desktop PC 19" monitor (17.9" viewable) at 1152x864. A 6 1/4x4 1/2" image on my PowerBook appears as 5 1/4x7" on my PC monitor. Setting both at 1024x768 yields 5 1/4x7" (PB) & 6x7 3/4"(PC) for the same image file. So, you can now see the frustration at hand..

  • Convert EPS images from Mac to PC

    I wonder if anyone have any experience of converting large
    quantities of images from Mac to PC? I have several thousands of
    freehand eps-images saved for Mac that I need to convert to a
    PC-eps. Anyone know any application that can accomplish
    this?

    Do the EPS files contain live text? Fonts could be an issue
    unless you are
    doing the conversion on a PC and replacing fonts as you go.
    The only other
    difference between Mac and PC EPS files is the preview. If
    you don't need
    the PC preview, you may not need to do the conversion at all.
    FH cannot open (as editable) many flavors of EPS file, but
    can import an EPS
    and export it as QuarkXPress EPS which contains both Mac and
    PC previews. I
    don't know about the quality of the PC preview in this case,
    as it would be
    based on the Mac preview, not the original Postscript data.
    If you're on a
    Mac, you could possibly use an Applescript to open and export
    the EPS files.
    The task would be simpler and more reliable using
    Illustrator, which has a
    Postscript interpreter and is scriptable.

  • Pasting Image  from Mac clipboard to Java Based Application.

    Hi,
    I am working on "iMac 10.2.7". I need to paste an image from other
    application using "Java version 1.4.1". I am trying to retrieve the image
    from the system clipboard after it is copied from some other application. I
    am pasting the code which illustrates my requirement. It works fine on
    windows. But does not work on Mac.
    On Mac it does not cross the supported data flavor check
    (clipData.isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor.imageFlavor) where clipData is
    the Transferable object). It seems Mac has some InputStream instead of Image
    in the clipboard when some image is copied. I tried to read that InputStream
    using ImageIO.read(java.io.InputStream). But that is also returning null.
    Thanks

  • Dragging a single image from mac Preview to InDesign CS6 doesn't work but 2 or more images does?

    I usually take anywhere form 2500 to 5000 photos in any single day's session. Because of this, I need an easy way to sort through them and grab just the one's I need to import to my InDesign "book". I have been using CS3 for years now, and what I always did was open up Preview on my Mac to browse all my days photos. Then when I found a good one, I would simply drag that single image over to my opened InDesign screen and just drop it into a page. I would then go back to Preview and continue this procedure until I had looked through all the days images. I could even drag multiple images over and once I was over InDesign I can just click each image and pop them into various pages with ease. Then I upgraded to CS6 and I've hit a kink in the works. When I drag over a single image to InDesign, before I drop it into the page my mouse pointer looks like 3 tiny paste images (the little rectangle with the folded down upper left corner). If I release my mouse to drop the image into InDesign, it just flys back to Preview and doesn't drop into InDesign. Now if I get 2 or more images from Preview, this process works just like it always did. But 1 single image... never. I've tried holding down command, shift, control, option, and combos of those buttons to see if anything changes and it never does. I always get the mouse icon with 3 little paste icons. In CS3 if I dragged a single image it would only show 1 paste icon and 3 icons if I dragged 2 or more, but not in CS6. Is there a setting I'm missing or a preference? I've tried looking through everything that I can find to no avail. There has to be a way??? Thanks!

    good luck

  • Transfer images from mac to camera

    Hi, im trying to transfer images from my macbook pro back to my camera. When i hook up the camera the only place i can see it is in i photo and it wont allow me to transfer in that program. The camera does not sure up on my desktop as a flash drive would.... how do i open the camera in a finder window that will allow me to click and drag photos back to the camera? is this even possible? im using my macbook pro with osx snow leopard
    thanks for the help

    Remove the memory card from the camera and insert it into a USB card reader. it should then be mounted on the desktop in the Finder, and you copy images onto it. No bets on whether the camera will display them as expected, though. It's generally safest not to make any modifications at all to the contents of a camera card while it's connected to a Mac. The result of doing so is often that the camera won't be able to read or use the card.

  • Photos not deleting images from mac

    Hi All,
    OK, so the issue is that I have taken some photos on my iPhone and these have synced to my Mac and iPad using iCloud Photo Library as expected.  However I then deleted these photos from iCloud Photo Library using my iPhone and they can no longer been seen in the iCloud Photo Library, or in Recently Deleted (as this has been emptied).  However they are still on my Mac's local hard drive.  If I try to import them on my Mac I get a message asking if I would like to import the duplicate photo(s), but I cannot find them anywhere in the library.
    Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get rid of these images from my Mac?
    Cheers
    Graham..

    They may be filed away in a Moment with an incorrect date - have you tried the search field to search for a part of the filename?
    You already tried to repair the Photos Library, right?
    Then it may be a problem of corrupted preferences files:
    The Photos.app stores the preference settings in a file in your hidden User Library.  If this file has become corrupted, you can see all kinds of problems with the graphical user interface - missing menu items, invisible photos, etc.
    To remove this file, do the following.
    Quit Photos, if it is running.
    Reveal your user library and delete this folder:  ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Photos/
    To reveal the hidden User Library:
    Bring the Finder forward by clicking on the Desktop or the Finder icon in the Dock.
    Select your user/home folder (with the house icon in the Finder sidebar)
    With that Finder window as the front window, press the key combination ⌘J to bring up the View options.
    In the View options panel enable ’Show Library Folder’. That will make your user library folder visible in your Home folder.
    Open your Home folder, then the Library folder, then Containers.
    Move the complete folder com.apple.Photos to your desktop. Move the entire folder, not just the contents.

  • Can't save or send a scanned image from mac using OS X 10.9.4 image is completely black

    I've recently updated my MacBook pro to  OS X 10.9.4 and I can no longer scan and save images from my HP printer  I have HP photosmate premium C310.  When scanning the image will appear on the screen but once saved or emailed it is just black.   Any ideas as to why?  All the current updates have been made to my limited technical knowledge, but I did just run a check and it seems updated.

  • HELP! Can Not Accept Images from Mac to Windows - ...

    Last week I updated my Skype to Apple Mac Version 7.2 (412) (latest Version) and all of a sudden a few of my employees could not accept image files from me. Its telling them "the photo is unavailable"
    Ive used Skype with them for 7 years and this is the first time we had any issues like this. 
    Now, I know this is usually related to the updates not being current for all users but this not the case, 2 out of 5 of my employees (Using Windows) can not reaceive any photos from me but they are running the latest version of Skype which is 6.22.59.107 (Windows) The other emplyees of mine are also running the latest version of Skype for Windows anf they are able to recieve files from me with no problems. 
    This problem only started when I updated last week. 
    Is this a Bug? Any work arounds? Anything.....

    Can you please double check with your contact on Windows 8 that they are using Skype 7.0 for Windows and not Skype 3.1 for modern Windows. The latter is not supporting the new modern photo transfer method. you can share this link for the Skype for Windows desktop client: http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-computer/

  • Iphoto updating images from Mac to iPad

    Hi
    When I have edited photos on my mac in iPhoto, I then plug in my iPad to sync the new edited photos into the same event, but the updated images that I have edited will not update on the iPad? It used to do this but not anymore, not sure if I have done something on my syncing, of which I get really confused with.
    Thank you
    Sheena

    This is a long shot but close iPhoto, go to your Pictures folder and open the iPhoto package with the Finder as shown in this screenshot
    Look for a folder named iPod Photo Cache
    Move it to the Trash in the Dock. That's a folder that will be recreated then next time you sync.
    Launch iPhoto and try syncing the iPad again.

  • I am new to Mac and am having trouble with uploading images from my pictures folder to Facebook and other share sites- some of my images are accessible while others are seemingly locked....

    I am new to Mac and am having trouble up loafing images from my pictures folder to photography sites and Facebook. Some of the saved images are accessible, while others are not, ( they are light colored and cannot be uploaded) I am not saving them any differently.

    Hi Robodisko,
    Thanks for your prompt reply...... 
    I often proof my work in preview then edit images in photoshop and rename from there.  The dsc images are renamed to correlate the name of the class etc.  i.e. dcs_001 is saved as the file name required 7A.jpeg etc.
    The file names are required to correlate what is what and so on..........

  • Transferring images from a PC to a Mac

    Fist of all, please excuse me if my questions appear elementary but I am a recent convert to Apple and to digital photography. I have a PC desk top computer and a just-purchased MacBook Pro. At the moment all of my images are on the internal hard drive of my PC and the drive is filling up fast. I need a short term solution to my diminishing internal disk space that will tide me over until I learn enough about workflow to invest in a longer term solution. I want to view and edit my images on the MacBook Pro. I realize it's not the best way to edt but it will have to do until I replace my PC with a desktop Mac which I intend to do. But in the meantime I don't want to clog up my Mac unnecessarily with thousands of images. So, my questions: 1)) What is the best way of transferring my images from the PC to my Mac? 2) If I transfer my images to an external hard drive from my PC will my Mac have any problems reading them? 3) Can an external hard drive be formatted to read both PC and Mac files? 4) Rather than get an external drive for my PC (since I don't intend to edit on the PC, am I better to get one for my Mac? 5) Can someone suggest a good on-line tutorial on this topic so that I don't need to trouble all you good folk. Any advice would be appreciated.

    There are many solutions: Your first stop is www.macwindows.com, and read everything in site re: formatting ext HD's to run on both,your best solution. There are apps that allow macs to read/write/ drag & drop to /from Fat 32 & NTSF partitions, and visa versa, read about networking and remote controlling PC's and Macs, as well. A simpler but time consuming solution is internet backup/ syncing via Sugar Sync or Mobile me.
    *maybe you can help me: I'm about to get my first PC to capture digital dental xrays. I'm told that the imaging sensors drivers only work on a PC/xp or Vista, 32 or 64, though they are written in 32. I want to network (automatic syncing of dental image files and practice mgmt files from the imaging app & mgmt app) the PC to an iMac, either booted in Vista 64 or running it in emulation. The PC Imaging app (Apteryx) and the PC Mgmt app (Dentimax) works either way on the iMac. How do I:(1) set up a wireless network, (2) that onlt auto syncs the 2 dental apps files, (3) on a Vista booted iMac, or ($) on a Vista emulated by Fusion, iMac????? Thanks! I assume a V booted imac is a PC to PC setup, but I have no idea how to do this? I also find it hard to believe that the sensor drivers wont work on a V booted iMac!

  • My mac book air can't start installation, because i use windows installation in DOS to make partion, now no mac os on it. How to get back the mac os? i have a window based iso image from a friend, because in my country there is no Apple service.

    It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition.  Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot.  Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot.  If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that.  Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML.  If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work. 
    At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD. 
    An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again.  However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.

  • I had all photos on a Windows desktop.  Got a mac laptop, installed LR5, and put all images from Windows onto an external hard drive.  When I go to import them into LR on the Mac, they are all locked.  Help, please.  Thanks

    I had all photos on a Windows desktop.  Got a mac laptop, installed LR5, and put all images from Windows onto an external hard drive.  When I go to import them into LR on the mac, they are all locked.  Help, please!

    "I plugged the external into the Mac and moved a folder of images onto the desktop.  It looks like it went from read only to not locked.  Is this possible?"
    Yes, that's exactly what happened. If you buy another drive, you could copy from your existing drive to the new and your files will be read/write. The new drive will have to be formatted as an HFS drive (that's the Mac's format). If you need to format it, you use Disk Utility which is in the Utilities folder on your Mac. Be careful with that -- it wipes out whatever is currently on the drive. Make sure you format the right drive.
    I keep all my images on an external drive, too. In fact, I have two matching drives and sync them so I always have a backup.

  • I use an iMac 10.6.8 with iPhoto '09 to download digital images from Canon DSLRs. Until the last two weeks there has been no trouble whatever importing images by  a USB connection from either camera to the Mac. Now the process will not kick in. Any ideas?

    I use an Mac OSX 10.6.8 with iPhoto 09 to download digital images from two Canon DSLRs. Until the last week, there has been no problem whatever in launching the import procedure once the USB connection has been connected and the camera switched on. Now the process will not kick in at all for either camera.  I can't find a solution through iPhoto help or from other sources.
    Any ideas to fix?  (I admit I have not tested the USB cable at this time).

    What does "kick in" mean?
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
    Post back with the result.

    Cannot open camera RAW images from Sony DSC-RX100M3 camera.  Working on a Mac with Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw 6.7?

    Bruce,
    When I made the transition to digital some 8 years ago, I had tremendous help from a number of well documented websites, among which:
    http://www.luminous-landscape.com
    I think a lot of stuff there to get you seriously going. Another one is:
    http://www.computer-darkroom.com
    I sold all my film based stuff, except a Nikon F3 and a handful of lenses and a Paterson developing tank.
    The Nikon suspiciously smells like foam mirror damping strips chemically decaying.
    I sold my enlarger over the internet. The word "enlarger" caused me to be on SpamCops blacklist for a while.
    I'm in this since the seventies, and I think you'll be as amazed as I was at the possibilities and control you have. And no more bags with $300 worth of film that's consumed in one shoot.
    Jump in both feet! you won't be sorry. And these forums are the best help you can get.
    Good luck,
    Rob
