Information about an image

Hello All:
This question may seem a bit trite but I recently came from using Fireworks under Macromedia. In using Photoshop, I have now been using Illustrator a bit more and find something quite annoying.
I can never see the size of the image I am working with, I always have to have it selected in order to do so.
For example, in the info tab, unless the image or illustration is selected it will not tell me the dimensions of the image just the x and y coordinates.
How do you make it, if possible, to display the size of an image you are working with like Fireworks does currently.
Thanks for any help,
Paul

oh ok, cool
Thanks for that info Scott....that helps a ton.

[CS3 JS] Getting information about Photoshop images in InDesign

Hello,
Through an InDesign script I can get many pieces of information about an image such as the file name, resolution in PPI, dimension in inches, color mode, etc.
What I am wondering is if it is possible to find out how many layers a Photoshop image may have. I would like a quick way to know if an image has been flattened (one layer) without having to open up the image in Photoshop.
Tom

You can do this via BridgeTalk, here is an example. Select a TIF or PSD image and run the script.
const gScriptName = "Get number of layers";
const gScriptVersion = "1.0";
var gLayersNumber;
Main();
//===================================== FUNCTIONS ======================================
function Main() {
    var image, pixelDimensionsArr, folderPath, copyResult;
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    try {
        if (app.selection[0].constructor.name == "Image") {
            image = app.selection[0];
        else if (app.selection[0].images.length > 0) {
            image = app.selection[0].images[0];
        else {
            ErrorExit("The selection contains no image.");
    catch(err) {
        ErrorExit("The selection contains no image.");
    var link = image.itemLink;
    if (!link.isValid) ErrorExit("Can't get the link.");
    if (link.linkType == "Photoshop" || link.linkType == "TIFF") {
        if (link.status == LinkStatus.NORMAL) {
            linkFile = new File(link.filePath);
            if (linkFile.exists) {
                CreateBridgeTalkMessage(link.filePath);
                alert("Number of layers: " + gLayersNumber);
function CreateBridgeTalkMessage(imagePath) {
    var bt = new BridgeTalk();
    bt.target = "photoshop";
    var script = "GetLayersNumber = " + GetLayersNumber.toSource() + "\r";
    script += "GetLayersNumber(\"" + imagePath + "\");";
    bt.body = script;
    bt.onResult = function(resObj) {
        gLayersNumber = resObj.body;
    bt.onError = function(msg) {
        alert("Error: " + msg.body);
    bt.send(100);
function GetLayersNumber(imagePath) {
    var f = new File(imagePath);
    app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
    var doc = app.open(f);
    var layersNumber = doc.artLayers.length;
    doc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
    app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.ALL;
    return layersNumber;

How can I view information about an image, such as the file name and exposure, on the Ipad?

how can I view information about an image, such as the file name and exposure, on the Ipad?

You can't with the built-in Photos app, but there are apps such as iPhoto which allow you to see the exposure details (aperture, shutter speed, focal length, ISO). PhotoMeta also shows you that info

Read ICC profile information of an image

Dear community,
for my further implementation I need some information about the ICC profile used for an actual image edited inside Photoshop. How can I read the ICC informations about an image?
I am implementing an export plug-in and found some ICC component inside the ExportRecord struct, called:
Handle iCCprofileData; /**< Handle containing the ICC profile for the image. (NULL if none.)
 Photoshop allocates the handle using the Photoshop handle suite.
 The handle is unlocked while calling the plug-in.
 The handle is valid from \c ExportSelectorStart to \c ExportSelectorFinish
 Photoshop frees the handle after \c ExportSelectorFinish. */
int32 iCCprofileSize; /**< Size of profile. */
int32 canUseICCProfiles; /**< Non-zero if the host can accept or export ICC profiles .
 If this is zero, the plug-in should not set or dereference \c iCCprofileData. */
What I am not understand:
How can I read the iCCprofileData and which information will be delivered by the iCCprofileSize?
For iCCprofileData I got int values like @179952120 or @179952176. They differ for every loaded image. Seems that I just read the memory address. The "Handle" points to an empty char '\0'. I have no idea how to work with the datatype "Handle" correctly ...
For the iCCprofileSize I got integer values like 544 for the embedded profile Adobe RGB (1998), 3144 for the working color space sRGB IEC61966-2.1 or also 3144 for the embedded profile without color management:
embedded profile = Adobe RGB (1998) -> iCCprofileSize = 544 (or sometimes 560)
working color space = sRGB IEC61966-2.1 -> iCCprofileSize = 3144
embedded profile = without color management -> iCCprofileSize = 3144
embedded profile = SWOP2006_Coated3v2 -> iCCprofileSize = 2747952
working color space = Coated FOGRA39 (ISO 12647-2:2004) -> iCCprofileSize = 654352
embedded profile = without color management -> iCCprofileSize = 654352
The variable canUseICCProfiles delivers always the value 1. As well if I selected the embedded profile without color management.
Can I infer from the iCCprofileSize which profile will be used by each image?
Does somebody has more experience with these there members (iCCprofileData, iCCprofileSize and canUseICCProfiles) of the struct ExportRecord?
I would be grateful for some hints.
King regards,
Silver

hai,
i paste the java source code for getting each pixel value of an image.i think that this code is usefull to you.
import java.awt.image.PixelGrabber;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.Image;
class getpixel2
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("D:\\one.jpg");
if(image==null)
System.out.println("NO FIle");
PixelGrabber grabber = new PixelGrabber(image, 0, 0, -1, -1, false);
if (grabber.grabPixels())
int width = grabber.getWidth();
int height = grabber.getHeight();
if (isGreyscaleImage(grabber))
byte[] data = (byte[]) grabber.getPixels();
else
int[] data = (int[]) grabber.getPixels();
for(int i=0;i<data.length;i++)
int r = (data[i] >> 16) & 0xff;
int g = (data[i] >> 8) & 0xff;
int b = (data[i] >> 0) & 0xff;
System.out.println("(R,G,B)=("+r+","+g+","+b+")");
public static final boolean isGreyscaleImage(PixelGrabber pg)
return pg.getPixels() instanceof byte[];

Extracting informations about rectangles, lines, fields etc from PDF

I'm looking for a way, to extract rectangles, lines, fields etc from a PDF, for example think of a blue rectangle which is drawn in a Word document, which is later exported to pdf. I need informations about the position of the rectangle, the color, the size, if it is filled or not, etc. Is there something like an API or an SDK which can help me? I searched for quite a time (so please, no RTFM-answers), but the only references I found where about producing PDF or extracting text, images or graphics (oh, just at the moment, I had the idea, that lines and rectangles could be coded as vector-graphics in PDF, could that be possible?).
I'm thankful for all answers and ideas (even if you just post links with informations),
kind regards,
Pivo

Yes, lines and rects are coded as vector graphics (or specifically path drawing instructions) in a PDF.
Adobe offers an SDK around Adobe Acrobat which would enable you to get this information. If you need a standalone solution, we also offer our full PDFLibrary.

About Help image does not appear

RoboHelp X5.2 Webhelp output
A logo created as a jpg to be used as an About Help button
will only appear when compiled on my hard drive.
I got rid of the powered by Robohelp button and created a
company image in jpg format for the About Help button.
In my project I double-clicked on the skin, and then the
About Button, selected the jpg for the About Button image, selected
a gif to use in the About Help dialog box, added company
information, company name, etc.
Part of skin code ----------------
<toolbaritem mode="Logo Mode" type="built-in-logo"
id="7">
<name>About</name>
<image>selected:napa_logo_blue.jpg?</image>
I compiled to my local drive. Everything works. The jpg logo
appears on the top right-hand side, and when you click on it, the
About Help dialog box opens with the gif image and other
information.
However, the development team compiled the help along with
the application to one of their test boxes. The jpg image does not
appear. Instead, a small white box with a red x and the words About
Help appears. When you click on this the About Help dialog box
opens with all the correct information including the gif image.
Both images reside in the skin folder on my hard drive. When
I compile the project they reside in the main folder with all the
htm files and js files.
Not sure how to resolve this.
DM

I am also having this problem. I've just converted a project
from RH X5 to RH v7. In X5 the .gif file attached to the About
button worked fine. In RH 7 nothing appears. I've tried adding the
.gif to the Baggage files but it's still broken. Any other
suggestions?

Confused about importing images

I'm new to DreamWeaver but I've used GoLive for many years and still do. In GoLive if I want to import a folder of images so as to have them to work with in my site I just select Import, navigate to the folder and click it and the folder of images is copied to the site and appears in the GoLive window.
There is no way to do this in DreamWeaver that I can see. There is nothing I can find in the Help files or in the Missing Manual about importing images except one confusing entry in the Missing Manual. It says an image can be anywhere on your hard drive, but a couple paragraphs later it says images should be in the root folder of the site. I don't see any way to get them into the root folder other than doing so in the Finder which the documentation cautions against because DreamWeaver will become confused if this is done outside of DreamWeaver's Files window.
This has been absolutely maddening for me and I've spent at least an hour trying to figure out how to simply import images. It shouldn't be this difficult? What am I missing?

Russ.G wrote:
I believe my original question clearly stated that I wanted to import a _folder_ of images into DW and _not_ bring them in _one at a time_ as I use them. This qestion remains unanswered.
No, you cannot IMPORT the images per se, there is no import function available.
Nadia, first you say to bring files into DW via the Files window and caution against doing it another way. Then in your next reply you say you don't use the Files window and so in fact bring the images in another way via Windows Explorer.
I appreciate you trying to be helpful, but I can't imagine being presented with more contradictory and confusing information.
Can anybody tell me how to import a folder of images into DW?
What I was trying to explain was that there are different ways to 'bring in' the images into the defined Dreamweaver site.
1. Copy them from anywhere on your hard-drive into a specific images folder within the defined site.
2. Work with an image that may be saved elsewhere, but save it to a folder within the defined site.
As for the confusion. regarding working with files, you need to understand why you need to define a site in Dreamweaver first. DW keeps track of all the links as you build a site, but the files - whether html, text or image files - need to be inside the defined site folder structure. How you get them in there is completely up to you. More than one way to skin a cat as they say.

Need maximum information about Content Management in Weblogic Portal 10.3

Hi,
I have worked with Weblogic Portal before, but it's been some time, I do not remember much and I quickly need to find some info.
We are making a proposal to a customer and have suggested Weblogic Portal.
I would like to give as much information about the technicalities of the CMS in Weblogic Portal as possible.
Could you please answer these questions ?
I am looking for information on the CMS that is integrated in Weblogic Portal 10.3
I have already checked the available information on the site :
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/cm/introCM.html#wp1067976
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/portlets/development.html
I would like to find more information, especially regarding these questions :
What are the portlets that are available by default in Weblogic Portal 10.3 ? I read about the Content Presenter portlets, which display real-time data.
Are there other portlets like these ?
How can i manage the documentation in the CMS ? I have several source of data (databases, Lotus repositories ...) : can i load them into the WLP Virtual Content Repository ?
What about images ? Do i need to work on a special format to handle them in my portlets ?
Is it possible to load data coming from XML files into the repository so i can display them on the portal ?
Thanks a lot for helping.

BulkLoader is described in the docs here:
http://e-docs.bea.com/wlp/docs102/cm/bulkloader.html
As far as portlets go, WLP provides lots of facilities for creating your own portlets, to do exactly what you want them to do. It really depends upon what you want to do.
If you're looking to display images, also take a look at the personalization features like Content Selectors and Placeholders, which can retrieve an image from the CM system.
If you're looking to iterate over a set of content, take a look at display templates as a means to control the presentation.
You may be able to use re-portlets from the WLP Admin tools, though I'm not familiar with the details.

Export info about all images

How can I export the following info about all images in an InDesign document:
Page image is on
Image name
Image full path
Image location on page (x, y)
I would like to export this data to a txt or csv file with data for each image on a separate line.

Assuming that the report you get when you File > Package an ID file is insufficient, this is a job for scripting.
It's about a 6 line script:
2 lines to open a file, 2 lines to loop over all images, 1 line each to print each piece of information, 1 line to close the file.
I'm pretty sure some have been done before, so search around. If that fails, post in the scripting forum.
Be specific about which x/y you want, though (a corner?), and also how it should handle facing pages and spread coordinates.

How do you send information about whether you've received and read a message on messages?

Apparently there is a feature where you can either show or hide when you are sending information about whether you have read a message and when you are typing. Where can I access these features?

Hi,
You will see a checkbox for "Send Read Receipts"

You can also Auto reply with the Away Message in any other account (Mostly AIM based)
Go to Messages > Preferences > Messages section and tick the box at the bottom "Auto Reply with My Away Message"
Of course you have to set an Away Setting (with or without a Messages) for it to be sent. (it is better though of you choose or create an actual message)

Noob question about HDR images

hi everybody! i am reading this book about photoshop hoping to understand a lot more than i already know about pixels and colors and image dinamics and such..i got to the chapter about HDR images and here's what i dont get. as i understand, given a HDR image it has 32 bit depth meaning its file contains much more information about contrast and brightness than any existing monitor can output, so when u open it in photoshop u will never see its true quality. my question is( and i admit it may seem pointless to some, but i am committed to understand the cause and purpose), when converting it to 8 or 16 bit depth this window pops up asking me to tweak gamma, exposure, shadows and highlights, etc., but why is this linked to the conversion process? why not simply convert it, maintain the same appearance as before and then if needed manually adjust using all the image controls from the photoshop menus? i have CS6, if that matters.

I don't know if this will help, but I've heard about HDR monitors (still very expensive), which supposedly very accurately display the HDR values. If you hang one on the wall in your house, people might think it's a window, since it is literally a source of light, in the same way a window to the outside world is.
Possibly the most surprising use of HDR imagery is in 3D apps where global illumination models are used. HDR imagery literally is the only source of light for these images. There are no lights in the scene, only HDR imagery. This is because of the great dynamic range of HDR.
A more practical (to me) use of HDR is when resurrecting antique images. If you scan multiple exposures from old prints, then create HDR, sculpting values in 16-bit becomes a very powerful tool, only due to the HDR value range.
Photoshop, although it can edit very well in 16-bit, can only show 8-bit representations of HDR imagery, since almost all monitors are 8-bits per channel. Because of the monitors, we can only see a small part of what is actually present in the HDR file.
I've never done it, but I imagine that if we all had HDR monitors, we'd need to wear protective glasses (like you wear driving in your car when the sun is out) most of the time to do our work. :+)

Information about Embed Intermedia and BLOB

Hello,
I want to insert a picture in my report. I read in Application Forum that you have to do that with Embed Intermedia or BLOL Column.
Does anybody could give me more information about those two subjects ? Or just a link for more information ?
Thanks in advance,
Chu Lam

You can use Intermedia with other application servers, you don't need to get the interMedia Web Agent
For example, any java application environment can talk to Oracle via JDBC.
You can send SQL queries to to the database using the contains(indexed_column_name, 'keywords')>0 statement to query the Intermedia text indexes, and you could use simple text URLs for the image reference, if the image is on the filesystem, rather than as a BLOB in the database.
If you were dealing with BLOBs in the database, you could write a stored procedure in the database that has a BLOB as an IN OUT param and use a jdbc CallableStatement to call the stored procedure, and get the BLOB image data.
Similarly, you could use any other web application environment, as long as it can issue SQL queries to Oracle.
e.g. Perl using the DBI module with the Oracle DBD module.
Cheers
David
