Import and extension case - JPG vs jpg

I just found something quite odd in the way iPhoto 09 imports pictures from an SD card.
My camera uses upper case, so all the pictures have .JPG as extension, I've just verified the content of the SD card.
If the images are taken in normal landscape (horizontal) mode, then the files after import keep the .JPG extensions.
But if the images are taken in portrait (vertical) mode, then the resulting files in the iPhoto library will have their extensions as .jpg, in lower case.
This is quite odd, and I see no reason for this behaviour from iPhoto. It's not something terribly distressful, but I still believe that it's odd, and it shouldn't happen.

but also rewrites the file accordingly, which I am OK with.
iPhoto doesn't "rewrite" the file. it makes a new one.
then why the new file has an extension of a different case? Could they not simply copy the original filename instead of massaging the case of the extension only? This is what I don't understand.
There is no bug. If Photo Linker has issues with JPG and jpg then you should consult the maker of that app.
ah, there you go, I was sure you'd point fingers elsewhere, what a typical tactic.
Like it or not, this is an iPhoto bug my friend, I don't see why certain files have an uppercase extension and others have a lowercase extensions, since they have been taken in portrait mode. Does this make sense to you? Cause to me it doesn't.

How do I keep photoshop from changing extensions from .JPG to .jpg

Lightroom won't import a folder of jpg's

I tried to import a folder of jpgs on my Mac. It successfully imported about 175 and then just stopped (but I've got about 5,000+ photos). It will no longer import a single photo. How do I find the offending photo so I can resume my imports. I told it to move photos so all photos left in the folder are new to Lightroom. If I deselect the first photo and try to import the rest.. I get the same problem. Thanks.

Thanks Dorin!!
you were correct! I didn't notice the rather hard to see icon on the one image shown which is displayed when a group of images are stacked together.
Simply unstacking the stack resulted in LR displaying all 1000+ images that were in the stack. How they got put into a stack in the first palce remains a mystery.

If you think you're insane now, try maintaining those pop up menus.
As far as I know, these menus have not been updated since FW 8, so
they are at least two versions old.
Save yourself a lot of grief by avoiding those menus. There are many
other products on the market which do a much better job of creating
and maintaining this type of navigation structure.
Read this link before you climb any higher on this slippery slope:
http://apptools.com/rants/jsmenu.php
There was another blog post by the fellow who originally wrote the pop
up menu feature, but I can't seem to locate it. Even he says stay away
from them.
Not the answer you probably want, but I hope it helps, nonetheless.

Importing High Res. JPG with RAW?

Is there any reason to import JPG images with RAW images? I sometimes shoot high res. JPG with RAW just so I have some high res. JPGs for temporary use immediately after a shoot and for archival purposes, but I can't think of a reason to import JPGs into Lightroom when there is a RAW. Thanks for any clarification.
Dilip

with one option it let's you know the jpg exists, but you can do absolutely nothing with it, even delete it easily from within lr. The other treats them both seperately, and all controls can work on either file. To each their own I suppose but I see no compelling reason NOT to import them as seperate files, it only adds confusion to the managing of digital assets for me, as lr provides no means of seperating the combo designation after import.
Many times I leave camera on raw+jpg mode even for snapshots, and decide the jpg is good enough and I don't desire to do any processing on the Raw. Other times the raw is easily superior, and the jpg is garbage. Treating them seperate puts me back in control of what I use and how. But, as I said different ways of working call for different ways of handling it; I'm glad we at least get an option to do it either way.

Editing TIFF files from camera and saving as JPG

I have searched extensively for this and feel like it must be answered somewhere but haven't found it. Call me an idiot.
I have a camera that can save a picture as a tiff and jpg files simultaneously.
When I open the tiff file in PE2 it is strange. It something like a negative and strange colors. In addition, it seems to have a small portion from the right side that has moved to the left side of the picture.
Does this mean there is something wrong with the tiff files?
I have tried opening it and saving as jpg. Then opening the jpg just shows the same strange image.
Do I need a newer version of PE?
Thanks

Well I found something finally on the internet. Apparently it is a problem with the 2GB SD card in my Panasonic FZ20 properly storing the file. I will have to look into it more. The card is an Ultra II San Disk. The sorry part is that the accompanying jpg is much smaller than if I taken the picture as jpg to start with.
See the following link if you have a similar problem.

Going to url with jpg and storing that jpg

I am trying to create a thread that will simulate going out to a webpage with a .jpg extension( specifically, http://www.springsgov.com/trafficeng/woodmen.jpg ) and store it in a vector. I'm then going to have a client use RMI to read from that vector and display the .jpg's onto another webpage. However, I am trying to figure out how to store the .jpg and I am have issues on how to do it. I tried to use JEditorPane but when it redisplays it to the screen, it displays it in bytecode and not a picture. I was wondering if someone out there might be able to help me with this...

The problem is not completely clear to me, however you can display jpg files in java by creating instances of java.awt.Image. Once you have your jpg bytes, you should call java.awt.Toolkit.createImage(jpgBytes).
Then you pass the resulting java.awt.Image to the constructor of javax.swing.ImageIcon; then you create a JLabel and pass the ImageIcon to its constructor. Finally you and add the JLabel to your favourite java.awt.Container (such as JPanel or JScrollPane).
Hope this helps,
Lucio.

My hard drive died last week, and I needed to install a new one. Previously, I was able to save a .doc with text and inserted photo to .pdf and then to .jpg. Now I can get the .pdf but can't determine what to do to convert to .jpg. Does anyone know ?

Rather than do that, which means starting over from scratch, losing all your edits, organisation and so on, why not simply use iPhoto Library Manager to revert the Library to the older version? Easier, less destructive.
The instructions on that are here
If you really want to start over: you can access the Originals folder simply by going to your Pictures Folder and finding the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.

Script inquiry (help please :) - Crop PDF and save as JPG

I'm sure this will be an easy one for some of you. I want to have a script that takes a PDF of a cover file (usually very wide since it's printed along the front, spine, and back of the book), crops out the crop marks (I have a little code snippet that I found that can do this), prompts for the width of the front cover size (i.e. 6 inches for a 6" x 9" book), and then sets the crop box from the far right edge to the width that was input. I'm trying to put together a little tool for my company's Art Department to save them time creating jpegs of our books covers (there are a lot of them). Their current process is to place the PDF in Indesign on a 6x9 page and export a JPG from there, seems time consuming.
As an example, a cover file for one of our books, without the trim marks, is 12.625" by 9". The script would prompt a user for the width of the cover, they would input 6" and it would, ideally, set the crop box to be 6" wide and 9" high (not touching the height, since that is already correct), and then save that cropped PDF as a JPG (and not save the cropped PDF so as to leave it untouched after the process is done), preferably with an option to select the output location and even batch run it on a bunch of PDF cover files.
I'm sure this is possible, does anyone think it will be particularly easy? I don't have a lot of experience but I'm not necessarily looking for a handout since I'm not really bringing a whole lot to the table (but will take one!). Any help or pointers appreciated, or maybe someone who already has something like this could provide some help or resources to get started, even If I have to piece it together from a series of helpful URLs.
Thanks in advance for any helpful responses I'm anticipating!

Take a look at these two Acrobat JavaScript methods:
Doc.setPageBoxes():
http://help.adobe.com/livedocs/acrobat_sdk/11/Acrobat11_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/htm l/wwhelp.htm?context=Acrobat11…
This function allows you to set the crop box. When you combine this with Doc.getPageBox(), you can then adjust the crop box to e.g. the 6" area you want.
Doc.saveAs():
http://help.adobe.com/livedocs/acrobat_sdk/11/Acrobat11_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/htm l/wwhelp.htm?context=Acrobat11_HTMLHelp&file=JS_API_AcroJS.89.530.html
As you can see, the cConvID parameter allows you to specify the output format - and JPEG is an option.

UPPER and lower case file extensions for Photo Shop Elements using Windows 7

How do I persuade WIndows 7 to show both UPPER and lower case file extensions, which is a very useful facility offered by my ancient, 2002, version of Photoshop Elements? When processing large volumes (100 plus) photos it is very useful to be able to spot those that have been processed among those awaiting my gentle touch. The JPEG file extension produced by my camera is UPPER case so by using "Save as" with lower case the modified photos are immediately spotted. This worked fine on Windows XP and the same programme has loaded and works well on my new laptop which came loaded with Windows 7 EXCEPT that it persists in using UPPER case all the time, irrespective of the preference settings in PSE. HELP!

In PSE there is a facility "File > process multiple files".
Using this facility you can actually process multiple files at one go and you can easily rename images.

Hide the Import and Re-Order button on an Extension Collection

Hi
I need to hide the Import and Reorder actions/tabs on an extension collection which i have added on the master agreemnts page.
Regards
Thashin

Hi
I found a workaround by using the lockmanager to lock the extension collection. I first generate at runtime the number of "entires"/ "rows" and then lock it. You can still input values but cannot add new rows, delete rows. Basically it hides all the "tabs" for the collection and also greys out the trashcan icon. If you require me to paste the script here then let me know.

Relink multiple images and export in jpg

Hi, this is my first post, been searching for nearly 2 hours for my solution, didn't end up with any answers
I have a template with the size of 500x500, there's my company logo at the right bottom and there's a brand's logo at the top left, i created a layer to put the products in the middle of the templates.
So now I have nearly 400 products to be relink and export into jpg, anyone can help me with this? I found out I have to use javascript for this and i have no clue of how to do this.
I would like to have 2 folders, first folder is my product, second folder would be the export photos be at(with the same title would it be possible?).
so the script should be able to read from the first folder and relink the product automatically in the layer and export into jpg automatically and being save into the second folder. (all the product images have the same size so no worries about it.)
Million thanks!

Thank you sir! I've manage to do it nicely with the guide!!! Somehow someone inbox me to a fee of 40$ to do it
lucky you show up!
PS: How ever i've face a problem editing all the photo's images into 500x500, some of them aren't exactly the size, some are bigger some are smaller, any ways to make all the images to fit nicely into center of the canvas and resizing them(so there would actually some extra free space around the product,not resizing it into 500x500px, it would be out of shape)?

File/Import and Page Layout not working anymore

I have a question about old software: FrameMaker 6.0 on a Mac. (While Adobe encouraged me to purchase this in 2001 for the chemistry textbook I am writing, I had invested to much to abandon it when Adobe abandoned the Mac version a few years later.)
I have imported dozens of images files into the 750 page book and FrameMaker has accepted both tif and jpg formats. The way I did it was to create an anchored frame in the textbook, click on it, and then File>Import and select the image file and then choose whether I wanted it to be referenced or actually in the text. All of this worked fine... until a couple of days ago.
Problems
1. I no longer get Import as an option under File and
2. FrameMaker no longer recognizes tif and jpg files under "All Readable Documents" when I do File>Open. I have to click on Show All Files to see them.
As a result I am unable to import any tif or jpg files into the FrameMaker textbook.
What's curious is that I have 6.0 installed on both a G4 and a PowerBook and this problem has occurred on both at the same time.
3. And I just discovered that when I do Format/Page Layout the half a dozen or so custom formats that I had are no longer listed.
So what has caused this loss of memory for Framemaker that it can no longer do what it has done for me for years. (I am somewhat sympathetic to it's memory loss myself as a 78 year old user.)
The G4 has been unplugged recently but in the past it has been unplugged for a week or so and there were no problems.

I don't know if read-only files are recognized by FrameMaker to the point where it will dim commands that need to write to the files.
It's always a good idea on Mac to repair permissions with Disk Utility - make sure you have good backups, just in case.
Have you tried saving a file that can't import as MIF, then opening the MIF version to restore the file, and perhaps lose any corruption in it? This is called the "MIF Wash."
I think the latest Mac OS that FrameMaker can work with is system 9, or the Classic simulator that runs on the OS X release called Tiger. I'm sure you'd know if you changed operating systems in this period. Classic won't run on Intel Macs.
I have no other clues about what might cause this, except the general thought that something has changed on your systems or in the files you're working with. Does the problem persist in a brand-new file you create on your local drive? If you're working with FM files on a network, have you tried the process with files on your local computer drive? Have you quit FrameMaker and restarted your Macs? Any change? If you have a cloned bootable backup of your stuff from before the problem arose, you might want to try cloning your problematic drive to a new bootable backup, then restoring the known good clone, to see if it works.

Growing file import and refresh issues

1) With files generated by our own MOV/op1a writers, we get different results with different wappers, different OS platforms and versions, and different storage filesystems, both using CC 7.1 and CS6.05
Quicktime files on the Mac, OS 10.7.5 to a Samba share: refresh will only work by putting Premiere into the background then bringing it to the foreground to force the update.
Quicktime files (any codec) on a win7 PC writing to an NTFS share: we get sporadic updates, although in about 98% of sessions, the file will update once or twice after import and then never again during that particular CC/CS6 session. Exiting the program, reopening it and loading the project again will update the duration. After closing the file, the duration updates instantly in both CC/CS6
-- For Quicktime files, it seems like some sort of cache file is written that does not get updatedand premiere looks at this instead of polling the current state of the file.
op1a XDCAM - on PC at least we get a sharing violation when attempting to open, much as in this discussion on the Adobe Community Premiere site: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4746601
op1a AVC-I not tested yet.
2) With Adobe Media Encoder CC doing the writing, we get no joy whatsoever. Only tested on win7/NTFS share
op1a XDCAM on import CS6/CC returns "file is open in another program" error.
op1a AVC-I on import CS6/CC returns "file is open in another program" error.
Quicktime (any codec) file import error or crash.
All types import correctly after the files are closed.
-- seems that the AME openfile() handle type is write-only, so Premiere can't open it for reading.
So...I guess my first question is, what growing file source has this feature been tested with, on which OS and storage filesystems?
There is virtually zero documentation and what little exists is very unspecific or contradictory...

Ken,
There are numerous posts on this subject. Currently LR treats same name, different extension files as sidecars of each other. Check out the numeroues RAW + JPG posts for example.
Import your files into different folders and then move them into the folder you want for now.
Hopefully this behaviour will be changed in the forthcoming 1.1 release mentioned by Jeff Schewe et al.
