IPhoto is corrupting all my image files

iPhoto is corrupting all my picture files. If I didn't have them stored on an external hardrive, I would have lost all of my picture files. Why is iPhoto corrupting all my picture files?

iphoto is unstable.

Is there a way to display all the image files(jpeg, png, �) present in the

Description:
Currently I am using �Sun Java� Wireless Toolkit 2.5 for CLDC, Beta 2 � toolkit for developing J2ME applications. I am using the �javax.microedition.amms.control.imageeffect� package(JSR 234) for adding effects like red eye, border, etc. I need to display all the images in my /res folder so that the user can select one from the list for further image processing. I used File Connection API for displaying the images from the file system's /root folder. But while trying to apply the image effects I found that I can not access the file system's /root folder through getResourceAsStream(). getResourceAsStream()could only access the /res folder . Is this correct? Is there any other way to give the InputStream to the media processor through setInput()? Is there any other alternative to getResourceAsStream()? Or Is there any direct way to access the /res folder and display all its files for the user to select?
Here is the code that I am using for providing the input and output streams and applying the image effect to the source file �Duke.jpg� in /res folder.
MediaProcessor mp = GlobalManager.createMediaProcessor("image/jpeg");
mp.addMediaProcessorListener(this);
outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
inputStream= getClass().getResourceAsStream(�Duke.jpg�);
mp.setInput(inputStream, MediaProcessor.UNKNOWN);
mp.setOutput(outputStream);
ImageTransformControl itc = ImageTransformControl) mp.getControl ("javax.microedition.amms.control.imageeffect.ImageTransformControl");
final int border =10;
itc.setSourceRect(itc.getSourceWidth(), 0, -itc.getSourceWidth() , itc.getSourceHeight() );
itc.setTargetSize(itc.getSourceWidth(),itc.getSourceHeight(),0);
itc.setEnabled(true);
mp.start();
mp.complete();

you need to set resource path correct place image file resource folder is correct but there is problem so yu need put the image in resource in this way C:\WTK23\apps\Image\res\example\hello\image.gif this work
in the code try this InputStream byteInput = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/example/hello/image.gif"); this works if you need any more help contant [email protected]

IPhoto has turned all my RAW files into JPG :(

When I had to restore my iPhoto library, everything but the last import is now a jpeg. There are a few pictures that are now giving me an "!" when I try to edit them. Does iPhoto effectively destroy your photos when you restore them from a backup, or even editing them?
I have changed Image Capture to put the files into a folder now, but what do I need to get to get iPhoto from messing up my files?

Using Time Machine through a wireless connection. Tell me where I went wrong in setting this up.
There are a few pictures that are now giving me an "!" when I try to edit them.
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents. Again suggests that you either messed up the back up or the restore.
Again, using TimeMachine for backup and restore.

iPhoto does not "effectively destroy your photos" in any circumstance.
When you import a photo to iPhoto that Original file is preserved exactly as it was when you imported it. It is not changed in any way. Edits are carried put on copies. So, as I say above, you need to clarify what you did to back up and restore to discover where you've gone wrong.
but what do I need to get to get iPhoto from messing up my files?
iPhoto doesn't. You need to learn how to use it?
Been using it for years, never had a problem with it until now. Do you have classes that you teach on the proper way to use iPhoto?

EXPORTPDF has corrupted all my Word files. Fix ?

I subscribed to EXPORTPDF today and converted a pdf document to a Word document. Now I notice that ALL of my Word documents are corrupted with strange text/widgets. How do I remove EXPORTPDF and return all my Word docs to their original state ? Help please !

It doesn't do that, so far as I know it isn't even possible. So, something else has happened. Perhaps you can post a screen shot of one of these bad Word documents and we can suggest what next.

Please HELP! iTunes Appears to have corrupted all my music Files.?

My music plays like its badly corrupted, skips, jumps, sounds like a scratched CD... it's not a hardware problem because I can still play sounds in other programs... but not in iTunes where ALL my music is.
What should I do?
Thank you so much to anyone who is able to help

Actually I am running iTunes 6....
okay, we'd better check through the usual suspects. (with a 6.0.x, it's less likely to be a problem with an itunes plugin than with itunes 7.0.x)

Aperture installation deleted all image files from MacBook Pro.

After installing Aperture 3, I noticed that all the image files I had on my MacBook Pro immediately disappeared. These were stored in various locations throughout my computer depending on subject (e.g. "Emergency Response Training", "Summer 2009", "Car Restoration" and so on). A small number were in the "Pictures" folder but most were kept in other locations. All the folders and subfolders where these images were stored are intact but the images are gone. There is simply a "thumbs.db" file inside and the folder size is about 6 kb on average.
I did nothing other than install Aperture (no importing or library creation) and none of these images or folders are in the Aperture library. A similar thing happened with iPhoto where all my iphoto thumbnails show up but there appears to be no actual photo. No images prior to Aperture installation appear anywhere on the Macbook using tailored queries with "Find".
Apple support indicated that Aperture would not search out these photos unless prompted and would never delete them but It's hard to imagine how else this could have happened, as it happened only during installation (subsequent photos are fine) and targeted all image files in every location. Hard drive is new and indicates no problems.
Any ideas what might have happened - and, more importantly, how I might be able to recover the missing images? Unfortunately, my upgrade to Lion obliterated my DNS 321 back up disk, as well, and I don't yet know if I can recover those files.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Apple support claimed it was impossible for Aperture to delete files, as well, Allen. All I can tell you is I installed Aperture and the files immediately disappeared. I installed Aperture with the intention of learning its capabilities over the ensuing months, as I had never used it before, and so made sure to do nothing but install and launch so I could have a look at it and see how it was set up.
The network hard drive obliteration occured when I was trying to transfer novie files from my Macbook to my DNS 321 network drive, which I use to store all my backups and most of my media files. I've done this countless times with Snow Leopard without a hitch. However, when I tried it with Lion the system locked up during the transfer and I lost my connection to the drive. Once I managed to reconnect, I found that I couldn't get into the folders on the network drive anymore. All that would come up was a "My Documents" folder, which had no content. After doing a websearch I discovered that Lion no longer supports DNS 321 and that others with similar style drives had been having similar problems. What might be unique to my situation was that when I hooked up an old PC to the DNS 321 I was able to get back into my original folder set up but I found that the folders labelled from (A to J) were missing entirely and that the remaining folders had no content.
So, as I mentioned in my first post, the only input from me was installation and launch of Aperture and the only thing I was doing with my network drive was transferring movie files from the Macbook to the DNS 321 drive. If neither of those actions could possibly have caused the problems I described, I'd be very eager to learn what did.

Virus corrupted all photoshop files

So I had a laptop that I did all my production work on. I use photoshop very often, since I do graphics, marketing, and web design. Apparently, some kind of virus or malware has corrupted all my photoshop files. When I went to go turn on the laptop, the .psd files wouldn't open because the file description was "Adobe Photoshop Image 13". So I read up on a few other people that have had the same issue. I re-installed photoshop and now even though the description says "PSD File" I get the error "Could not complete your request because not a valid photoshop document". I already went to restore default file settings but every photoshop file that was saved on my laptop in the last several months is now unusable. Please, someone tell me there is a way to recover. Otherwise I've just lost about half a years worth of work that I neglected to backup.

I have some patent artwork that I created with Photoshop and I'm worried that maybe someone from a cloud storage company may have accessed my work. The patents have been filed, but if they thieved my work, and beat me to the punch I'm wondering if I have any recourse. That's why I asked the "date created" question. The second question was just asking an opinion of what people feel more secure using. My guess is the digital Image is probably the best bet. I could try enclosing the password protected PDF inside a digital image, that would be really secure since they would need 2 passwords to access the material.

How to see all image file types when saving images without selecting "all files"

Hallo, and thank you fom reading.
I am a person who saves a lot of images online in different folders with different names like G - 456 or F - 35.
I have been using firefox 10.0.2 for a long time because of a bug (I guess) that made it easier to save images.
When I saved an image it would always show me all the image files in any folder I wanted to save it, and that way making it easier for me to save files with the right names.
Now with the newer firefox (currently 19.0) whenever I try to save a JPEG I only see the JPEG files in the folder and only way to see the others is by selecting "save as type" all files, but with this I also see all the files that are not images.
This used to save me a lot of trouble and a bit of time but I dont see anything in the options menu that can help me. Is there a way to recreate this function?
Thank you for your time.

I suspect this is a Windows problem. I am surmising the FilePicker uses the Operating System or Desktop facilities. Does Windows 7 offer any other file categories like ''images'' ?
I do not normally use Windows 7, but may the option depend upon the directory being an indexed one, I ask after finding this thread ''Bring File types tab back'' [http://www.windows7taskforce.com/view/819]
This question is a duplicate of [/questions/951764]
Normally I would lock the duplicate question, but in this instance I will leave it open as it is unanswered and someone may give a better reply.

Best Image File Type & Size for Photo Books?

When you select your photos to be included in a Photo Book submission, is there a required file type and maximum size. Most of my images are presently Photoshop .psd files and TIFF files of substantial size -- around 2 to 4MB, that I will have to import into iPhoto '09. Thanks.

Interesting. Presently, all my image files are at 300 dpi.
Remember that DPI has no meaning for a digital file - digital files have only dots - the per inch part comes form the print size so until you select a print size you had only "d" - not "dpi" - that is a totally meaningless number
See +The Myth of DPI+ for more information
How exactly is print size determined in the photo books -- from your selection
Obviously from your selection - you place a photo into a frame and the frame size is the size
You may want to take the tutorial for more information - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/#books
or, whatever size results from the image resolution.
remember that images have no inherent size - they are just dots (pixels)
Is the ideal resolution 300 dpi? Thanks.
any image that will print at 180dpi or above will give good results (and will not get a resolution warning)

10.4.7 update screws up image file associations

Since installing the 10.4.7 update, all my image files now open in Preview as the default application, regardless of Type or Creator.
I know that the file association of an individual can be changed via Get Info, however, I have 11,000+ image files in various formats as well as several thousand PDFs scattered across three hard drive, and do not want to waste several days tracking them all down and changing their file associations manually.
I know that the "Change All" button in the Get Info panel is supposed to change all documents of a given type to the selected application, however, the "Change All" function seems to be broken because hitting "Change All" simply reverts everything to Preview.
Deleting Preview does not solve the problem, as everything then defaults to Image Tricks; deleting Image Tricks simply defaults everything to Color Sync; deleting Color Sync defaults everything to Graphic Converter, which is fine for JPEGS, but I need Photoshop files to open in Photoshop, Illustrator files to open in Illustrator, etc.
Is there a script or other simple way of changing the default application for various file types at the system level, i.e., so that .JPG always open in Graphic Converter, .PSD and .TIF in Photoshop, .PDF in Acrobat Reader, etc.?
Thanks.

Well, I had it happen to me again yesterday, i.e., all graphics files defaulting to Preview. I changed them back using the procedure I used earlier, but if this continues, it's going to be a MAJOR problem.
Even after you selected, for
example, Graphic Converter as the default application
in the Open With pop-up menu, per step 3 in "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Changing
the application that opens a document."
Unfortunately, no, not even after selecting Graphic Converter as the default app in the Open With menu.
I think you
mean Show Inspector, which is Command-Option-I, vs.
Command-I for Get Info. The Inspector displays
common info for a selection of objects, so you can
change the default app for multiple files in one
window.
Hmm ... I get the same "Multiple Item Info" panel whether I hit Command-I and Command-Option-I if I have more than 10 files selected. In any case, I hit Command-I to bring up the Multiple Item Info panel.
3. The anomalies you described are very strange. As
a general check, run the Procedure specified in my
"Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache
Corruption" FAQ. I'd recommend at least running
Steps 1-3.
I'll give it a go. Thanks!

Lightroom 4.3 corrupts my RAW images stored on local SSD harddisk

Using Lightroom 4.3 with Camera RAW 7.3 on latest MacBook Pro with 256 GB SSD harddisk, 8 GB internal memory bought 2 months ago. Hardware shows no other problems or malfunctioning, no issues with RAM or otherwise.
Started Lightroom 4.3 did an import from perfect images (viewed before using various other software packages) stored on the harddisk. Used option ADD to add to the catalog. Almost immediately certain images were showing missing areas or areas with pink/white stripes, etc.
I didn't even touch the images to view or edit them. The images were corrupted on disk as previewing them with other software packages showed.

If we're talking about the raw rendering, and not just the jpeg, then this means transfer hardware is OK.

That is not so true. Hard disk, ram, cpu, ..., - all play a continuing role.

No proprietary RAW format e.g. I use standard Canon 550D settings. Not sure how proprietary you call that and what I can do about that and why Lightroom would have a problem with it. If that would be an issue I would expect a lot more issues from other users.
A proprietary raw file is any raw file that is not DNG. The distinction is important because:
* Proprietary raws can not be corrupted by Lightroom (that statement has 99.999999999999% probability of being true, in the context discussed so far).
* DNGs on the other hand, are, in some circumstances, completely re-written, and can, therefore, be corrupted on Lr's watch (due to hardware failure). Granted, if such failure does occur, Lr is able to give a fairly clear & unambiguous message, since it keeps check codes for raw data integrity assurance. Note: such protection assumes the image was good when initially converted to DNG, and went bad after-ward - which is not necessarily the case: thus a good reason to visually inspect all images after conversion to DNG.

Software:
No other software
*iff* it is certain that raw image (raw-rendering, as distinguished from jpeg preview), was OK, before accessing via Lightroom, the other software is a non-factor.

Calibration display:
XRITE i1 display pro
I am a bit confused why a calibration file would get off-balance after some time? You need to recalibrate the display once in while, but that's because the display is changing.
I can understand Lightroom has problems with a corrupted profile, but how can it get corrupted as I would assume it is only read (not written) and why is Photoshop not having these issues?
My focus is now on recalibration of display to rule out that item
Not my area of expertise. However, in general, if you're having uncaught disk or hardware problems, or even software bugs, files can become corrupted - not just image files.
PS - Did the Mac/HW test include the drive where photos are stored?

How to recover lots of images files placed in the trash

Hello, I've made a huge mistake. I've run an Automator script that has placed all my image files in the trash. I've not empty the trash yet. Does anyone have an idea on how to easily recover these files ? I've got around 4,000 files....
Thanks a lot for your answers.

Are you using iPhoto 6?
If you are, go into iPhoto and set the view and sort to Film Rolls, then use iPhoto as a guide for determining the proper roll for each file.
The structure of the Originals, Data (thumbnails), and Modified folders under iPhotoLibrary in iPhoto 6 are all Year/Roll/Picture. So, to recreate the links, you need to put each picture back into it's proper roll.
If that's too daunting a task, you can start over, and reimport those files that were moved-maybe creating a new iPhoto Library first (hold Option while opening the app)- but this will not carry any organization that you may have had originally.
If you're using an earlier version of iPhoto (4 or 5) the pics were organized by date - Year/Month/Day/Picture - so it may be a bit more of a hassle to fix.

Can I Use Time Machine To Back Up a FAT32 Disk Containing Image Files?

New iMac User Here. I just bought a brand new but mid-2010 27" i7 iMac. Although I've used recent MacBooks when traveling I've got no experience with Time Machine or other similar third party back up software.
I moved to the iMac from a desktop PC running Windows XP Pro SP3. I use the computer(s) mainly for photo image storage and processing. My workflow is based upon Adobe Lightroom (now v3.4.1) and I plan to stick with it. In the PC I had three internal hard drives, 2 of which were dedicated to image files. They were formatted as Windows NTFS. In preparation for the switch I formatted an external drive as FAT32 and copied all the image files to it. Now with the iMac I have Lightroom installed on its internal hard drive but keep the image files on the external hard drive and access them as needed. So far, so good.
The problem arose when I tried to set up Time Machine to back up both the internal hard drive and the external external drive. It will back up the former but not the latter. It tells me it does not interact with FAT32 disks.
Any thoughts, explanations and/or solutions for establishing a simple, single back up routine for both internal and external drives will be most appreciated.

Thanks very much for the quick response. You confirm my intial suspicion, but your suggestion relies on my memory to accomplish on a regular basis (not the best of solutions) and further would be an extended disk run every night because it would not just be backing up new additions but the whole large disk, right?

Is there some way to import image files directly into an open document?

Is there some way of importing a series of image files, say jpegs, directly into an open document, rather than having to open all the image files and having to drag and drop each individual one into the open document? Specifically, I'm a dentist and I often get digital xray images emailed to me from other offices. But they come as 16 or 18 individual image files and I have to put them into a virtual "xray mount", so I can view them all at once, rather than having to open all the images and toggle among them. So I open a blank document in PS (CS4), then I navigate to the folder containing all the image files I received, select all of them and open them all. Back in PS, I now have to select each image tab and drag the image into the blank "mount" and close the image. That new image then becomes its own layer in the "mount" document. But I have to repeat this 18 times for each patient! I was thinking if there was a way to open the new "mount" document then select all the image files and somehow "import" all the image files directly into document - essentially "automate" the process - that'd save me BOATLOADS of time and aggravation! Anyone out there have any suggestions? Thanks alot!! Dr. G.

Thanks, Curt! When u say "animate" do u mean File | Automate...? Inside Automate, I can't find "Make Frames from Layers"...if you do mean "Animate" I can't find that menu. Zeno replied with a BRILLIANT clarification:
<<Yes, but after you've got all your images as layers in a new document you can simply Select->All Layers and then drag them all to your document in one fell swoop.>>
I tried that and it works like a charm! I select all 20 layers in the new document that "stacking" creates and just drag them all onto the virtual "mount" document. That's it! Then I just move each of these layers around as I would otherwise...it's just 1 click and 1 drag/drop. Unless someone comes up with a way to actually "import" all the images directly into the "mount" document, I think this appears to be the most efficient route to follow.
I really appreciate your guys' assistance! It's so great that you guys monitor the forum and help us out with our Photoshop problems! What an awesome program it is, right?
Thx again!

How to remove black border around image files?

I'm something of a beginner with Photoshop, so forgive me if I've missed something entirely obvious: for some strange reason I'm now getting a black border around all image files that I save through the "Save for Web & Devices" panel. Does anyone know how I can save without creating this border? It looks rather unsightly when I load it into a client site. The file in question is a .png, but I seem to be getting the same effect with all other image files as well.
Thanks in advance,
Shane

One cause could be having the matte color set to something other than none.
Is that a png-8?
