JPEG Export fails in some way

Hello guys,
we have developed a JPEG Export Plugin for InDesign server that worked fine for several years now, never having any problems. Now a strange issue occur and I need some help. When exporting an preview image of one page (containing textframes with text and tables) the preview image is correct if the dpi is smaller than 72 dpi (100% in our application). But when the dpi is equal or greater than 72 the text appears correctly on the image but the tables are missing. This problem occurs on CS4 but not on CS5 server, but there is no difference between the plugin implementation (beside the changes that were obligatory for porting the plugin to CS5). Maybe this is a known issue or someone has solution for it?
Here is the difference between the exported images (smaller than 72 dpi and greater or equal 72 dpi):

I do move some photos to OnOne or PS (for editing), then back to Aperture. In Aperture I would select-all (click) the photos I wanted to send to Sam's for printing then drag the selected items (all at the same time) onto the Sam's web site for processing/priniting. Another thought - on occassion I would have to switch-out flash-cards during shooting.
Ah there you go both pieces of the puzzle solved.
You're getting the Tiff files in Aperture from the use of the external editor. In the Aperture->Preferences->Export window is the settings for what file type to use with an external editor I'm sure your setting is Tiff.
And then by dragging the file out of Aperture rather then exporting it you are getting the Tiff.
IMPORTANT Point:
By dragging the files out of Aperture you are not really exporting them you are getting the Aperture generated preview (or in the case of the Tiff files the original). The settings in the Export window have NO effect on the image when you drag it out. In all likelihood you are not getting the size and/or resolution you think you are.
You should be exporting the versions by using the Export Versions button in the Export window. Once the versions are exported to a folder on your disk you can then drag those to the print web site. This will ensure you are getting the image size and resolution you want.

Jpeg export- why do some become tiff-Mb files

Took 10 pictures in RAW. Minor editing in Aperture 3. Uploaded to Sam's Photo for 4x6 prints. 8 went as jpeg (small file), but 2 went a tiff (25mg). These 2 took a long time to upload. What did I do wrong and how can I prevent this tiff (large files) in the future?

Jpeg-export - metafile error - errorcode 2 or errorcode 0

Hello,
i want to export my Report-Sheet as an jpeg from an serial analysis for every step. After the first step the jpeg-export fails with following error message: (in german) "Es befindet sich keinMetafile in der Zwischenablage. Fehlercode 2" or in english: "there are no metafile at the clipboard. error code 2" the failing command looks like this:
for i = 1 to 12
Call PICEXPORT("D:\MFriedrich\" & messname & "Kraftanzeige_" & k & "0kmh.JPG","JPEG",1,1024,,"RGB 24 YUV 444",100,"JPEG",0)

The files and folders do exist.
What can i do? I seems, that a temporary picture will not be create at the clipboard.

My PDF file appears to be too large/complex to export. Can I split it in some way?

My PDF file appears to be too large/complex to export. Can I split it in some way?

Good day Colin,
In order to split a PDF file, you'll need to use Adobe Acrobat.
You may want to try turning off the 'Recognize text' option and converting your file again, it may help.
Kind regards,
David

Is there some way to tell lightroom to just re-export the previously exported files?

Shot a celebration (Park, Mass and Party), went home and processed the raw files in Lightroom, Exported them into 3 folders.
Then I proceeded to edit the files in photoshop, first folder that consisted of the park went well. Files looks great, even after compressing them again.
Then up were the Mass pictures and that's where it all went down hill. When I loaded up the first image it was compressed to hell All the black areas were all pixelated, so I went into lightroom and sure enough it changed the quality from 100% down to 60%!
All my other settings were the same so I didn't accidentally reset the whole thing. Not sure why or how Lightroom did this, I've had it on 100% for the past 2 years!
Now I have to export them all over again, the trouble is there was 800 that I culled down to just 150. I really don't want to hand pick them all over again.
Is there some way to tell lightroom to just re-export the previously exported files?

The short answer: no.
Lightroom remembers recently imported files in a collection, but does not remember recently exported files.
That said, you could use the SQLiteroom plugin (free, by me) to round up a collection of *all* exported files, which might help.

Lightroom JPEG export VS Photoshop Image Processor

Hey guys:
Long time photoshop and lightroom user (long time user of all things Adobe). First post here in the forums. I did a search for my question but I think it was too specific, so it returned zero results.
My question is about Lightroom's JPEG export vs Photoshops Image Processor. When I export a RAW file to JPEG from Lightroom, the file size is freaking huge. The JPEG is as big as my original RAW file (~25mb). Settings are set to default - 100 quality. Everything else remains untouched.
However, when I use Photoshop's image processor (I launch it through Bridge, easier that way for me) and process the RAW images that way, my JPEGs are roughly 5-10mb in size. Settings in Image Processor are quality 10 and thats it. No actions being run or anything.
Can anyone shed some light as to why Lightroom exports JPEGs that are roughly 2-4 times the size of Photoshop's JPEGs? My initial thoughts are that the 100 quality setting in Lightroom is more like Photoshop's quality 12 (that always makes me think of Spinal Tap - "Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?" "These go to eleven.") Ideally, exporting out of Lightroom would be much easier for my workflow.
Thanks in advance.

You are correct: LR Quality 100 = PS Quality 12
Despite LR having 101 Quality settings (0 to 100) it actually only has 12 Quality settings the same as PS 'Baseline Standard':

I keep a small copy of the above table taped to my monitor. I chose the numbers under the 'LR' column for the 12 steps (not AA's) to make it easier to remember. In actuality ANY number in the LR Range column will produce the same results for each step.
Under the 'Typical Reduction' column notice the small amount of reduction for PS 6 (LR 47-53%) Quality setting. If interested why AND why you probably shouldn't use PS 7 (LR 54-61%) Quality setting see this post:

PDF Export fails because of "bad" TIF files

I'm having this problem with InDesign CS3 on MacBook Pro, OS 10.5
PDF export fails occasionally, becasue of some "bad" TIF files. The weird part is that those files are completely good TIF files, which are perfectly readable by any other program! After I resave the supposedly bad file again, it helps, and the PDF export works fine. BUT - imagine me working with a project with 800 images?!! Thanks to some good scripting and forum people, I have found a way to locate the bad images quite fast by using a script that exports each page as a separate PDF, then at least I know at which page it fails. But it's a hassle to do that every time!
Last time I found about 60 "bad" files out of 862.
Why the heck InDesign treats some TIF files as bad? Even if it does, it could at least create a log file, that will tell me at which page the export failed! this could be a real help!
I've asked this question in Photoshop forums, but one of the employees replied that Photoshop doesn't produce bad files. Well, I'm not sure I can belevie that, but that's what they say.

What settings do you use when you save as TIFF ?
On PC platform sometimes InDesign treat TIFFs as "bad" when they are exported with "for Mac" settings.
Or maybe you should switch do PSD format ?

Certificate authority export failed

I have been going through the procedure for replacing the first primary server with the second primary server in a test environment and hit a snag. I did the zman cae <backup_file> -d to export the certificate and remove the role from the server. It exported the certificate fine but the rest of the command failed. Here is the excerpt from the zman log:

I tried doing this again with a two step process of exporting the certificate then removing the server role:
zman cae <backup_file>
zman card
The export worked fine but removing the role had the same error as above.
The two servers in this test lab are sles 10 sp3 x64 and virtualized on xenserver 5.6. They are both running zenworks 10.3.1 with the certificate generated during zenworks install on the first server. The database is the stock sybase db on the first server as well. I did not install a zenworks license and they still have about half of the 60day trial remaining.
Is there something I can check to see why this would fail?
Thanks.

Yes, Thank-You ! Once the database role was added back into the table the export worked fine. I did the remaining steps and tried to retire the first primary only to have the retire command fail. Now its stuck in a semi-retired state, the joy of zcm :(

delete from zZenServerRoles where Roles = 'Database';
commit;
Then, when I tried to do what you did by exporting the certificate and removing the CA role, I got an error. The certificate was created, but I still got an error. Unfortunately I don't have my zman.log file from that anymore, so I can't compare.
You might want to check your DB by running the following SQL command:
select * from zZENServerRoles;
You should see at least one line similar to this:
id,Roles,position
0x6ba0074fc666eb52b1ed30a9f4d99baf,'Database',0
Where the ID above is your primary server GUID that has the embedded database. If you don't see a line like that, that might be part of your problem. If you don't see that, try this SQL command to insert that role into the DB:
INSERT INTO zZenServerRoles (id,Roles,position) VALUES (0x6ba0074fc666eb52b1ed30a9f4d99baf,'Database',0);
commit;
Be sure to take a backup of the DB prior to running those SQL commands!! Your primary server GUID will be totally different from mine, also.
Hope that helps in some way with your issue!

MPEG2 Export failed

Hi all,
i´m running in problems generating MPEG2 (m2v) with compressor.
That´s what i´m usually doing (worked 100 times before, last time 28.03.2008):
I´m rendering out a video MJPEG A PAL from AfterEffects.
Then I´m using a Compressor Droplet to generate a approval Version for my clients (QT Sor3 halfres) and a MPEG2 file as final delivery.
But now the MPEG2 Export fails. Find the error report at the end of this thread.
I tried it with the last files when it worked, also failed.
I tried another MPEG2 Preset (the apple ones) -> failed.
Playing MPEG2 Files using QT-Player and VLC works fine.
Any help highly appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

The source frame rate is 23.976, so I guess I would go with 24p. My intention is to upload the file to a streaming video website. They have their specs laid out for me, I just happen to be new to all of this so I am having a tough time meeting them.
My question right now is, if i have selected the MXF OP1a XDCAM option with XDCAM 50 NTSC (4:2:2) video codec, will the export be in mpeg2 and what will my bit rate be? I have no way of viewing the bit rate with this configuration.
Here is a screen grab of their required specs:

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 do you create an installer/bundle for PPro with extension, a plugin (export-controller) and some

Hi
As my topic says
How do you create an installer/bundle for PPro with extension, a plugin (export-controller) and some custom presets?
Assume you have Flash Builder 4.5, CS Extension builder 2.0, Xcode 4.5.1 running under MacOS 10.8.

I understand why you need updated running headers in your book. To a sighted reader these serve as a guide to where you are and help you find things quickly. In addition, if you are exporting your data to XML or HTML from the tagged PDF it would also be important to have these in the proper location.
But for accessibility purposes, it doesn't have to be there because the screen reader reads everything in linear order, line by line. No one is looking at the page. A user listening to the screen reader read the page is going to hear this heading, just before the actual word itself. So they will hear the first word on the page twice. It's not the end of the world if it's there, but such headings are not necessary for accessibility unless they are not repetitive and contain information that is not otherwise available.
So I would say, fine if you need them or want them there, it's just one word.
I think you should try exporting your book to PDF (or even just a chapter of the book) and look at the tags panel in Acrobat to see if you are getting the result you want. I can't tell you exactly what you should do to get those results, you are using a plug-in I don't have.
I can tell you I didn't have to add the headers to any article at all, they just automatically export if the other articles in the file are added and you don't select the header style option "not for export as XML."
You may not experience the same results with your plug-in, but I think it will probably work the same way.
Give it a try and best of luck.

JPEG Export Looks Saturated in Internet Explorer

I see this question in many forums and online but without a solution.
JPEG exports (sRBG) look overly saturated when viewed in Internet Explorer browser, including when uploading/viewing in Facebook, etc, etc. In other words, the colors looks different between Lightroom and Internet Explorer. (Colors looks the same between Lightroom and Photoshop though.)
As point of reference, when you download a sample JPEG image from Canon EOS's website (used to show sample images from their cameras) you see that those images also use sRGB profile. They also look exactly the same no matter how you view them (Lightroom, Photoshop, Internet Explorer, Safari, etc.).
What is Lightroom doing to photos upon export to JPEG and you need Lightroom or Photoshop to see the same colors?
I saw some talk about it had to do with Lightroom presets and that you had to zero those out? Any ideas from Windows users?

Have you got Firefox or Safari on your machine? In which case, how do the images look in either of those browsers? Or, if you're using Windows 7, how do the images look in Windows photo viewer?
Also, can you say what monitor you are using please?
I think it might be a colour management issue. Internet Explorer is not colour managed (not even IE9), Lightroom and Photoshop are colour managed, so is Windows 7 photo viewer (but not the XP equivalent), so are Firefox and Safari (but not Chrome). When there's a difference between how something looks in an non-colour-managed program and colour-manged programs then it's worth checking for colour management issues.
If your monitor has a wider gamut than sRGB, then you would expect IE9 and other non-managed programs to look over-saturated.

Lightroom vs jpeg export

Hi,
My images do not look the same as the way they appear in lightroom. Seems like they are loosing contrast/shadows.

Yes I am using sRGB color profile when exporting.
This is my screenshot of the image in Lightroom vs Jpeg Export on the right.

Export failing

I've been trying to export 2320 photographs. It manages to export 652 of them and then gives the error message:
Unable to create /Volumes/....
Giving the directory I'm exporting to. I've tried making it a simple directory name, I've tried deleting the .plist file and it persists as a hard error.
In my console log I get the error:
22/02/2009 18:39:27 iPhoto[2295] Error loading /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/PlugIns/Facebook.iPhotoExporter/Contents/MacO S/Facebook: dlopen(/Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/PlugIns/Facebook.iPhotoExporter/Conten ts/MacOS/Facebook, 265): Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/MKAbeFook.framework/Versions/A/MKAbeFook
Referenced from: /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/PlugIns/Facebook.iPhotoExporter/Contents/MacO S/Facebook
Reason: image not found

There's a possibility that iPhoto is doing that, I agree, it occurred to me that that could give rise to an error message like that.
I'm not, though, myself. I've chosen the iPhoto file exporter and asked it to export files as they are 'Currently' - I am hoping that this means that it uses the modified file where it exists and the unmodified on where not. If it is getting confused an exporting both in some cases, it is not clear to me why it is getting confused.
I haven't by the way, assigned file names to the photographs - I import them from the camera and, in the camera I use sequential numbering, so there should be no clashes - and, if there were, I'd expect iPhoto to complain when it imported them from the camera, not now, when I'm exporting them!

Password, is there some way to retrieve my System Preferences password?

Is there some way to retrieve my password ysed to login and install? I have lost my sytem password...

Incidentally, I found this:
About Apple Hardware Test
Apple Hardware Test diagnoses and detects problems with your computer's internal hardware components, such as the logic board, memory, and wireless components. It does not check external hardware components, such as USB or FireWire, or non-Apple devices, such as PCI cards from other vendors, nor does it check for operating system (Mac OS X) or software-related problems, such as application or extension conflicts.
You may be able to start up your computer with Apple Hardware Test even if the machine will not start up under the Mac OS X.
Using Apple Hardware Test
Before using Apple Hardware Test, disconnect all external devices with the exception of keyboard, mouse, display, and speakers. You should also disconnect the Ethernet network cable. If you are using the MacBook Air, you may need to connect the MacBook Air SuperDrive. Print out these instructions before proceeding with the following steps.
1. Restart your computer, holding down the “D” key while the computer restarts.
2. When the Apple Hardware Test language chooser screen appears, select the language appropriate for your locale, and press the Return key or click on the right arrow button.
3. If your computer is not supported by this version of Apple Hardware Test, an error dialog will be displayed. You should Shut Down the computer, locate the correct Mac OS X installation DVD containing Apple Hardware Test for this computer, and repeat the above steps.
4. If your computer does not restart to Apple Hardware Test:
a) Restart your computer with the Mac OS X installation DVD containing Apple Hardware Test. This should be the same DVD this document resides on. Hold down the “D” key while the computer restarts.
b) If your Mac has a Firmware Password enabled you need to disable it first using the Firmware Password Utility when booted from the Mac OS X installation DVD.
5. When the Apple Hardware Test main screen appears, follow the onscreen instructions.
Advice about using Apple Hardware Test
If Apple Hardware Test does not detect a hardware failure, the problem may be software related.
If Apple Hardware Test detects a problem, it displays an error code. Make a note of the error code before pursuing support options.
Alternatively if you are able to startup your computer from Mac OS X, you will be able to retrieve the error code, and optionally send this information to Apple, using the System Profiler utility application (which can be launched from the "About This Mac" dialog).
If your computer has more than the minimum configuration of RAM, the Extended Test may take significantly more time than indicated on the screen. Your computer can use memory modules or DIMMs even when the Power On Self-Test, which runs when the machine is turned on, detects part of a module as being bad. When you start up your computer, Apple Hardware Test reports failed memory modules in the Hardware Tests panel.
On computers with intelligent thermal management, it is normal for the fans to be running at high speed while using Apple Hardware Test.
Advice about hardware compatibility
When running Apple Hardware Test from the Mac OS X installation DVD, the DVD is not ejected on computers with a tray-loading optical drive when you click the Restart/Shut Down button. Either manually eject the DVD or use Mac OS X to eject the DVD.
