Importing images for a 480 project

I want to do some minor pans and zooms to some still photos. The photos will be brought into a timeline consisting of fotage shot at 60i SD.
1. What file type is best to bring in from Photoshop?
2. What physical dimension are best used for still images brought into the timeline?
Thanks.

JPEG compression is lossy, and the compression artifacts are most often seen as macroblocks - large rectangular areas of flat color, and "mosquitoes", or a granular sharpening effect around high-contrast edges. These can definitely conrtibute to the need for a flicker filter.
When resizing, you basically want to have the images be able to be at 100% at the tightset zoom you will use. To do this, I will sometimes:
Set my marquee tool in photoshop to a fixed size of the square-pixel equivalent of the frame size.
Click anywhere in the image.
Transform the selection so as to frame my "tightest zoom" area, and note the scale percentage in the "Options Bar"
Apply the inverse of this percentage in the image size window.
Save a copy (you might want to do this first.)
This gives me exactly the highest resolution I will need, and no higher.
Hope this helps -

How to import image for display in APPLICATION

You can use Graphics package for importing images in Java applications. But I am afraid you cannot display it on Text area, you can display it on JPanel, or JLabel or some container like this.
Check this example.

Disc Utility and Images for an iMovie project.

I am trying to make an image from an iMovie project so I can burn later to a DVD. When in Disc Utility ( DU ) I go to File - Disc Image From Folder, then I find the folder I created that contains my iMovie project. I click on that folder and it opens up showing my iMovie icon - the one with star on it- in another window, but the Star Icon is greyed out. Anyway, I proceeded making a disc image and read over my options, I choose just " read " and I also choose for a " CD/DVD Master " All proceeded and finished and the image was made. Then I burned that image using Disc Utility and ejected the DVD. When I re-inserted the DVD to try on DVD Player in mounted on the desktop and it was called " Movie Folder " (which was the folder I previously had named earlier) the DVD Player gave me the "stop symbol" and it said " Supported Disc Not Available " Should I have chosen a different option then CD/DVD master or is it because the iMovie Star icon was greyed out and not highlighted as the Folder itself was ? Hope this makes sense ! Eric

iDVD is not allowing me to burn a copy, whether I
export, drag and drop, whatever.
Have you tried setting iDVD to make a disk image file, instead of burning a DVD directly?
The iMovie goes in
fine to iDVD and then I burn ( try ) it almost
completes the process and the Blue Bar is full and
the Burn Wheel stops turning, then any movement of
the cursor after that point cause the Spinning Ball
and have to Force Quit. This happens whether I use
a iPhoto Slideshow or a iMovie project all 06.
Ive trashed the com.appleiDVD.plist thing and ran
Disc Utility and Re-Booted, but still the same
result.
How long are you waiting? iDVD is slow and may take several hours.
As far as the Disc Image, whats up there, are you
telling me I can only make a disc image in iDVD and
not iMovie? I just can't get a Finished project
onto a piece of Plastic not matter what I try ???
You can burn the output files created by iMovie but they won't play in a DVD player or with the DVD Player application. QuickTime Player should play them. DVD Player will only play a movie, from the hard drive or a DVD, after it has been processed into DVD format.

How do I import RH for Word WinHelp project into RH7 HTML?

I'm trying to convert a WinHelp project (created by someone
else in RH5 for Word) into a full HTML Help project in RH7, so that
I can build HTML Help or WebHelp outputs.
I have tried Menu > File > New > Project > Import
tab > select WinHelp Project. In the Wizard, I select the Help
Project to Import, click Next, then select the Output folder. But
there are no Source Documents listed to import. They are visible in
Windows Explorer, but RH7 does not see them. I cannot step Back /
Next or Finish without selecting files, so I can only Cancel and
try again.
Any ideas anyone?

Work-around
I discovered by trial and error that if I open the RH5
WinHelp project in RH7 first, then close it, this adds lots of
other files to the project folder.
Then I can import it into RH7 HTML.
That solves this question.

Import .mov for iMovie 2 project

Hi all-
I have some .MOV movies that I want to use in an iMovie 2 project, but I noticed that it won't import them. Is there any way to do this? Thanks

Thanks for the reply and sorry it took me so long to get back. QT Pro is $30, and iMovie 6 comes with iLife '06, which is $80. Any way that you know of to get version 4 of iMovie? TY

Import Image for Server to Design Stuidio

I am wanting to import an image that is saved on our Launchpad server into my Design Studio application. We are currently using the URL ":boimg://TEST_logo(pms540).jpg" for a logo in our webi's which work correctly. I have tried just placing this same path name into "Image" section of my image object but this doesn't work. Is there a special way to do this for DS 1.4?

Please have a look at Victor's response here in terms of referencing the images: Hide SAP Design Studio additional files from end users

Trying to correctly import image for watermark. No luck

I have had a Logo created for the images I take. From the beginning I've been using pretty basic watermarks. But now with my new "fancy" Logo, I can really Brand my stuff. Problem is when I import the image (no matter which format) it doesn't appear very smooth or clear. Any words of wisdom? Thx!!!

Way to verify if newly imported images ARE NOT already in database?

i keep my images in Aperture on v3.4.5 on my Mac Pro and in the past have simply imported images using USB. after starting to use Photo Stream over the last two years it has seemed to me (just from a kind of naive look) that some of my images from my iPhone get imported to the MBP into Photo Stream (Aperture v3.5.1), some to the Mac Pro, and (i assume) some to both.
it also appears to me that if you /change/ your settings for Do Not Import Duplicates from Yes to No, or from No to Yes, (i.e. check or uncheck this option) that it is very easy to ALSO end up (say for instance on my Mac Pro where all my images are supposed to be neatly stored) with /some/ of your images ONLY in the PhotoStream project /and/ also to have some other images in BOTH the Photo Stream projects /and/ in the "non-Photo Stream projects" (i.e. in "regular" projects).
just having this latter issue basically makes a total mess of your database (since you have /some/ of your images /only/ in the Photo Stream projects) but if you add the former issue (some images only in the MBP database and some only in the Mac Pro database) then things are almost truly wrecked.
so - what i would like to know is if i EXPORT images from my MacBook Pro and i then IMPORT them into the Mac Pro database should Aperture pick up duplicates if i have Do Not Import Duplicates checked? also, i would like to know if it is possible to VERIFY through some method whether the newly imported images are, or are not, already in the database.
i am currently exporting images from the monthly dated Photo Stream projects on my MacBook Pro and then importing the images into the respective Photo Stream projects on my Mac Pro - and it does in fact seem to me that these photos do NOT exist in the Photo Stream projects on my Mac Pro. i say this since the new images get added to the Photo Stream project for that month with the next chronological number in that month (at least on my first month i have tested). they also do not seem to exist already in the Photo Stream database in, for instance, the next month which is where i would logically look for them. this then would mean that there is a very large amount of image loss in my database which is a problem.
so what i would like to do is /check/ somehow to see if the images may in fact be already in the database but happen to have not made it into the Photo Stream project for the month (i.e. they /only/ exist somewhere else in the non-Photo Stream projects).
note: for instance can i manually search somehow for "IMG_6789", which just came in with 250+ images in from "Feb 2013 Photo Stream" on my MBP and is now in "Feb 2013 Photo Stream" on my Mac Pro to verify whether this already exists or has been newly added?
please not that i cannot visually search for anything because the database is too large and i do not know where this image may reside without searching or finding it through a Aperture command.
THANKS

hi leonie. thank you for this help.
first can you please tell me if setting Photo Stream on my Mac Pro to ON and turning Do Not Import Duplicates to CHECKED/ON (say if i start new with Photo Stream) has the consequence of ONLY importing images to my PS projects via WiFI and that any time i hook up my phone via USB (as i /had/ been doing) Aperture will then only import anything that has NOT already been imported to PS projects and it will put this in a "non-Photo Stream project"? i mean, i have realized recently that turning this ON may have completely changed the way i import images and done so in a way that puts some images from Camera Roll in one place and some images in another place.
i will divide up the rest into two parts:
1. can you please tell me what the actual difference is between exporting images as Kind Versions and Kind Originals? i am (unfortunately) already doing this as Kind Versions and it appears to be working at least visually - by which i mean when i import photos in this manner to the Mac Pro that these images come into the monthly projects with images and file numbers that do not currently exist in this album. this means that these images (so far ALL of them) were in the laptop database but not on the desktop database (at least as far as Photo Stream is concerned which is all i can figure out right now).
i think it is in fact possible that these images may exist elsewhere in the database (and that Aperture is not picking up the fact that these are duplicates for some reason) but unless i am missing something won't this simply mean that i have a FULL SET of images in the Photo Stream database? anyway, i am not sure which is better - to catch these coming in as duplicates and to not import them or to import them into the Photo Stream projects, have them all in the database in these projects, and to deal with how they exist out of the Photo Stream projects by putting them where they belong and then running a de-duplication routine.
2. the issue that i have been able to understand (with your help) is that when i turned Photo Stream ON, that this Do Not Import Duplicates setting was somewhere buried in my UI independent of Photo Stream settings (which has it's own poorly explained and poorly understood settings) and that this was set to ON or it was set to OFF. if it was CHECKED/ON then i was /ONLY/ importing images to my PS projects which was a total 180 degree change from my normal Aperture methodology and simply put images into PS projects and NOTHING went into my normal projects to sort later as i had been doing. then to compound the issue - when i hooked up my iPhone it would ONLY import images that did /not/ get synced to Aperture and get uploaded to the PS projects and it would tell me how many were already imported and how many were new and APERTURE WOULD SPLIT THESE UP INTO non-PS projects and PS projects which basically makes a total mess of my database.
i mean, what you were able to show me is that i DON'T KNOW what i had set originally but i think i had this setting set to OFF which would give me images both in the PS projects and in the non-PS projects as duplicates (assuming there weren't other issues) but i would ideally like to have had PS projects as just a kind of appendage or an unimportant piece of my database for reference only and to keep importing images via USB as i had done in the past and if this is what i had wanted (and if Photo Stream was implemented in an intuitive way that i as an intelligent computer person could understand) - well i would have set the do not import duplicates to OFF so that the PS images were duplicates of my normal USB imports.
but this - as i write - makes me realize that it has the unintended consequence of letting me import CAMERA ROLL images that were not deleted into my "non-Photo Stream projects" which as you indicate i don't want so this setting seems like it sets up a classic catch 22.

How to import images without creating duplicates of images aready imported?

i am trying to find a way to import pictures into aperture without duplicating pictures already in the library. it will be great that aperture recognize that a picture is already in the library and ask if we want to duplicate or replace the picture with the new import. with my current system setting, i can import the same pictures over and over in the same project, and i get several duplicates with the same file name.
how can i set up aperture so it recognizes that a pictures (according to its file name) is already in the library. thanks for your help.

I never figured this out either and it bugged me. You basically have to import the iPhotos for instance the first time and if still uploading into iPhoto then have to import folders. Go to File>Import>Images/or Folders as Projects(what I usually do) and then track down the right folder and click Import. Make sure you have the right place clicked you want them on the Projects Panel or you may import them into the middle of another Project (done that more than once). Sorry I don't have answer but at least a fix till someone knows more.

Importing Images into IDVD for Slidshow

I am at a loss as to what is the best image size, resolution size, etc. when it comes to importing images into IDVD. I usually size my prints
4 x 6 @ 300 dpi.. This looks fine in the slideshow preview. After I burn the dvd and view it, the images lose quality, etc..
Any help would be appreciated

What you're creating in iPhoto is a movie file that will get cut off in iDVD because of the TV over scan issue. Only stills imported and assembled into a slideshow in iDVD can be scaled to avoid the over scan.
So to get what you want you'll have to import the stills into iDVD from iPhoto and create the slideshow there.
If you have Quicktime Pro you can mask the QT movie with a black mask and cause the iPhoto QT movie to be scaled to the TV safe area. The steps are below. You'll have to experiment with the final sizes to get it exact:
Masking Movies to the TV Safe Area for iDVD
The mask should be 640 x 480 pixels and the movie at approx. 580 x 386 (I arrived at this figure by making a snapshot of the TV save area of an iDVD project with Snapz). You can set this size after you’ve joined it with the mask movie with Quicktime Player Pro.
Import the black mask jpg file into iMovie and and export it as a .mov file at the same length as your movie (there may be a way to not have to create a specific length mask for each movie but I haven't found it. If the times do not match the movie file will be synced to the length of the mask movie).
Open the mask movie in QT Player Pro and then open your regular movie and make it the front window of the two. Now you'll need to run a QT Player AppleScript titled "Merge Movie 1 into Movie 2". You can get it from this Apple site: Quicktime Player Scripts.
Then run the script. You can then run the merged movie to check it out. Your movie will be located in the upper lefthand corner of the window when played.
When you open the Movie Properties window from the Window menu for the combined file you’ll see the following:
Video Track 1: the black mask
Video Track 2 : you movie file
Tween track: Have no idea what this is.
Sound track: self explanaotry
Black mask.
To set the size of your movie to the correct size select it in the Properties window and click on Visual Settings pane. Then enter 580 in the first field and hit enter. With the Preserve Aspect Ration box checked the other size will automatically be set.
To center the video track in the center of the mask select the Video Track 2 item and plug in a offset of about: 70 & 45. You'll probably have to play with that to fine tune the centering. Doing the math and subtracting the movie dimensions from the mask dimensions and dividing by two just didn't get it perfectly centered bit with a little eyeballing and trial and error it got there.
Now save as a new self contained movie after checking the High Quality box at the bottom right.
You can now import it into iDVD for preview and burning. One drawback is that you can't invoke the TV save area for a movie in iDVD to check it out. But you can mark it on the monitor screen while viewing a menu or slideshow and then play the movie to see how close you came. I found that the size was still a little under the TV safe area when burned and played on my TV. It may be the difference in normal CRT screens and flat screens, etc.

Best file for importing images from Illustrator and Photoshop for small file sizes

Hello Adode consults!
I'm in the process of preparing an inDesign file for a school project -- I've already had a few harrowing experiences sending large files to the printer that are too large to process (and a very grumpy computer, etc). The end result will be a poster around 36 inches by 4 or 5 feet.
I'm wondering if there are any best practices for making sure that the files imported into InDesign are a manageable size to begin with. Should I, for instance, be saving each file as a jpeg before placing in Indesign?
Thanks!
-Katherine

No, you should not save every file as JPG before placing it in INDesign. JPG is only usefull for raster images (like photos) without any transparency in high quality.
When you place images use:
For raster images from Photoshop psd (rgb with color profile)
For raster images from Photoshop with form layers, texts or any vector element use PDF (or PDP) with layers.
For vector graphics from Illustrator use AI files or PDF.
For layouts from other InDesign projects use either the INDD itsself or export a PDF/X4.
But to the printer deliver a PDF according to their standards. E.g. when they need CMYK files export as PDF/X1a with the required output color space and the resolution they want. Produce the pdf via Export (Print).
Don't deliver open INDD. File size should for printing projects not be an issue.

Set default time/length for imported images to remain on slide

I am working on several ongoing projects where i need to import around 30 images (mobile screen captures) to each captivate project to create a simulation. I have set the default slide length to 1 second, but each time an image is imported, the image comes in at a default of 3 seconds and I need to go back and adjust both the length of the image and the slide length on the timeline. It's time consuming and since i have to do it repeatedly, I wondered if there is a way to set a default length for an imported image?
Thanks for any help!

You can set the default length of a lot of objects: Preferences, Defaults,
