Kind of OT: Unwanted JPEG Background Tone

Hey gang,
This is not a Dreamwear-specific issue, but I am somewhat of
a Newbie and thought I would pass this problem by some very
talented people.
I am creating and placing web JPEGs with CS3 Photoshop and
Dreamweaver (via a Mac system). Many of these images have simple
white backgrounds assigned by creating a Photoshop layer and
filling it with color #FFFFFF.
There seems to be some inconsistencies with the way these
white backgrounds are being displayed on screen. Some visitors see
a true white background, while others see a troublesome light blue
/ gray tone. This tone does not extend into the white page
background designated by HTML coding. It appears to be an image
issue only.
I suspect this might be a PC monitor / browser problem and
has been discussed here before. Has a procedure been discussed so
all visitors will view this style JPEG image background
properly...as simple "white"? Does anyone know exactly what is
going on?
Thanks!

#FFFFFF in a jpg isn't the same as #FFFFFF in CSS or html. If
you want them
to appear the same, you would need to Save for Web as a gif -
which has a
lower range of colors. Or, better yet, assign image borders
in DW with CSS.

My MBpro has been running some kind of app in the background upon turning on, heating up for no cause. Is this normal since Snow Lepard? It's been updated and I also have anti-virus software too.

you're welcome....
also check activity monitor - all processes - see what's using up most of your cpu resources under % CPU....
highlight anything that's really high and hit quit process......anything over 10% is considered high - unless it's your browser....
good luck...

Unwanted jpeg compression in Mail

I am having that unwanted compression problem. Jpegs of scanned documents get compressed beyond readability. I can compress the jpeg in Finder, but that is a pain to remember and do all the time.
Did anyone come up with a way to change a setting somewhere?

when you add an image to an outgoung message there should appear a small scroll "image size" button at the lower right corner of the message composition window. click on it and set to "actual size".

Anyway to eliminate white background tone when using multiply

I'm multiplying 3 different monotone clips on top of each other. The montone was created using BASICS/ COLORIZE and remaping the white to white and the black to a specific RBG. The clips are then placed onto of each other and blended using COMPOSITING / MULTIPLY. The issue I'm having is that tone in highlights is creates frame edges to appear. Is there anyway to completely remove the white background and multiply the images so that the background edges don't show? I could increase the contrast but this takes away tone from the faces. See the attached clip reference.

How about using a Keyer effect to key out the white background in each image? You could then add a white background or just set it in the preferences.

Adobe Media Encoder for AE export creates unwanted black background on load in white background

Hi. I have a seamless white website design. I added a white background to my AE file and also exported to Adobe Media Encoder with a white background, but I'm still getting a flash of black when the video loads. I have read discussions of this being a "bug" of the media encoder, but curious if anyone found a workaround. It's distracting to have the back load to black and then change to white, so I appreciate any recommendations. For now, my only idea it to re-record the video after the black flash, using a screen capture app, but this seems tedious and does not produce optimum results. Am I missing something?

Thanks for your reply!
I tried using Quicktime with PNG and it created a big file (1.18GB for a 1 minute long clip) that doesn't play back nicely in PPro unfortunately. But I then tried rendering the clip using a lossy format, H.264, in AE and it's playing back ok in PPro! I will just do that for the rest of the clips and hope that this is finally resolved. Many thanks for the tip!
Out of curisoty, do you know what might be causing the problem when I use Media Encoder?

Unwanted mail alert tone

Have my mail (Yahoo) alert tone set to "none" and I still get a "tweet" sound no matter what. I've tried changing it to different tones and it still just "tweets". What to do???

Hi This sounds may come from Yahoo direct if it does you can't stop the sound it's not your iPhone settings. Cheers Brian

Superimposed jpg image comes with unwanted background

hi.
I cut out an object from a jpg image and made a new jpg image with transparent background. Tested it on image editing program - the background is indeed transparent.
However, when i try to superimpose the image with transparent background on a video in PrE, the image is shown with a white background.
How do i remove that unwanted white background?

Great news!
In many Image editors, Transparency is not clearly deliniated, and it just looks white. With display settings in Photoshop, Transparency will be shown as a checkerboard pattern, but when one does a Save_As to JPEG, that clearly goes white, alerting the user to the lack of Transparency in the JPEG.
Good luck, and happy editing.

Request better support skin tone evaluation/measurement

Hello. I am writing this with the intention that it will be read by the folks at Adobe that are involved in the development of Lightroom. I'm pretty new to this forum, however, and I'm a little confused about whether this feature requests thread actually goes to the Adobe Lightroom team, considering that it is in a user-to-user forum. If there is a better avenue to get my feature request to Adobe, I would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.
Before I get into my request, I also want to mention that I did my due diligence and searched this thread to make sure this has not been requested before.
I am submitting this request because I do not see any useful way to measure or evaluate skin tone in Lightroom while adjusting white balance (or after adjusting white balance, for that matter). I can do a mouse-over to read RGB values, but I am not aware of any useful way to use RGB values for evaluating skin tones.
I just watched the latest George Jardine video, in which he recommends to use a calibrated monitor and move the Develop controls back and forth until your eye tells you it's correctly adjusted. I enjoyed this video, and I have found that this generally works well for me for tone balance, but I believe an additional tool for measuring or evaluating skin tones would benefit the Lightroom workflow as I will explain below.
I believe that many serious photographers, pro and amateur alike, routinely use the eyedropper in Photoshop for reading CMYK values to confirm the skin tones in their work. Even if they feel like they can usually eyeball pretty well, they find they get greater consistency when they use the eyedropper.
Now I'm not saying that Lightroom necessarily needs CMYK support. Photoshop Elements, for example has a skin tone adjustment even though it doesn't have CMYK support. And I'm also not suggesting that Lightroom necessarily needs skin tone sliders like Photoshop Elements. I'm just suggesting that the Lightroom workflow would benefit from some kind of tool for evaluating skin tone while or after adjustments are being made in the Develop Module. I would like to leave it up to Lightroom to decide exactly how to implement this.
The only way I currently see to do adjust while measuring skin tones is to open the file in Photoshop, make adjustments, and save. Even if there is a way to do this with ACR and have the adjustments saved in the sidecar or in the DNG, it still seems like a time-comsuming and unnecessary step for my workflow.
Now this request is predicated on the assumption that evaluting skin tone is fundamental enough for a basic workflow that it should be included in Lightroom. In my opinion it is, and that is why I am making this feature request. I'm sure that some might not need it for their workflow, but it seems to me that this would be a valuable feature to a great many Lightroom users.
Thanks for lending your ear, Adobe. I look forward to ALL your future versions of Lightroom, and I hope that skin tone evaluation/measurement is included in one of them.
Regards,
Mike

Your post seems to assume that Lightroom is a tool for travel/landscape photography, and other types of photography (e.g., portrait/fashion) should be supported by a "specialized add-on module". I have to disagree with you on that point. Considering many of the examples on the Lightroom marketing are fashion shoots, I would think that they considers portrait/fashion photographers to be an important part of their target audience. They are not a fringe group of specialists.
I'm sure that portrait/fashion photographers would feel the same way about a Lightroom capability that primarily benefits the workflow of a travel/landscape photographer, i.e., when I do do some landscape work, I just edit in Photoshop. But you wouldn't agree to that, would you?
Skin tone measurement can be an incredibly easy tool to implement. It can be something as simple as showing the CMY values alongside the RGB values during a mouseover. Keep in mind, I'm talking about CMY not CMYK, so there should be no need to worry about what ICC profile to use. RGB to CMY is a straightforward transformation. It's embarassingly simple.
There are other ways Adobe can implement skin tone management that would be more powerful but a little more complicated. Those would be great too.
Anyway, thanks for the link to the Adobe feature request page! I will use it.
Regards,
Mike

Background Color

I have a bit of a problem with my newish MacBook... My microsoft word window froze and I carelessly pressed around on my keyboard and my display colors are now all mixed up. All the icons and any window I open is in neon kind of colors and black background. I can still see everything and all the applications work but the color mode cannot be change even though I've tried it on system preferences under appearance and desktop&background... This means that any film or photo I look at cannot really be recognized, it looks more like the X-Ray function pictures on photobooth. Does anyone know how I can change the display back to its normal color mode?
Thanks

Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences, click on the Seeing tab, turn off White on Black, and drag the Contrast slider all the way to the left.

How to arrange photographs by kind in mountain lion

since I have upgraded to mountain lion I cannot arrange my photos by kind any more (seperate jpegs from raws in a file for example)
Also, when I select within a file I no longer have the indication of the number of items selected (also available at the bottom of the file before)
Anyone know if these are still possible and how?

Added Background does not appear in PDF

I tried this and had problems - opened up a Catia sample in Toolkit, used 'Open Background' to add a jpeg background (blue waves). Worked fine, and when I exported to .u3d, then opened that, I could see that the background was there as you'd expect - behind the 3d Catia sample.
However, when I placed the .u3d file into an Acrobat3D pdf, the background disappeared (just saw the default gray). Tried with other examples, same thing.
Do you know why this is happening? Thanks.

Thanks, sws
I'll have to experiment - what is slightly confusing is that changing the background for one item seems to keep it there for the next. So maybe when I opened up the saved .u3d and 'saw' the background, it was not so much saved in the u3d, as being added by 3d Toolkit itself.
I'll add it to my growing list of experiments.

Speedy 33 background noise

Hello,
We are finishing a project with the Speedy-33. The analog outputs are connected to a small amplifier for headphone listening. When connecting headphones directly to the Speedy-33 output or to the headphone amplifier, a background noise is heard : it sound like a tone. As you can imagine the amplifier jsut make it more audible. But the tone is present even without the amplifier ... so it is clearly from the speedy-33 output.
The speedy-33 is running in standalone mode ... as the USB connection tends to make a huge amount of noise.
We tried to listen to the Speedy-33 in "full bypass" (the labview patch is the mere connection of the input to the output) ... in that case only, their is no noise. As soon as we put any processing (exemple: we tested a single biquad between the outs and the ins) ... we get the famous background tone.
Any information about Speedy-33 background noise ... caused by the DSP or any other component on the board? Any advice?
Many thanks,

Thanks to all !
The main trouble is that when connecting directly the inputs to the outputs, the noise is not there. When a process is added between the input and the output (like a simple biquad as mentioned by PaGauthier), the board is generating a "sine" background noise.
In our application, the speedy is running in standalone mode using a DC power supply. The power suply was changed twice to make sure that it was not a noise coming from it (we used an analog regulated one, and a switching one with the same results)
The inputs are feeded with simple electret preamp using transistors or opamps (we have two preamps because we were thinking that is was radio frequencies interferences). The bandwidth of the preamp is quite large but the capsule itself is limited to 20kHz... and once again, when there is no process between the inputs dans the outputs, no background noise is added.
I have a simple question : Is there an aliasing filter onboard for each input ? If yes, I hope that designers did not simply added those filters at the nyquist frequency... In most cases, 80 to 90 % of the nyquist frequency is better... This could explain a 400Hz of aliasing : but couldn't explain that the added noise is a simple sine.
PaGautier and I will test the board next week to make it clear about aliasing filters.
Thank you for your help.

Reducing background image size

Hi all,
I'm working with Captivate 4 and have made a screencast of a particular process for training purposes.
The project has 80 slides - but each background image is 1800+kb. Overall the project comes out at 3 MB even with the highest possible compression in the publishing settings.
The project is to be hosted on the Web so I really don't need this kind of detail in the background images and I can't find anyway to reduce the image size apart from exporting each of the 80 backgrounds into Photoshop, reducing them in size and importing them back into Catptivate. For 80 slides this would take too long.
So, two questions:
How can the background image size be reduced within Captivate?
How can I change the settings so when capturing screenshots the image sizes are smaller in the first place?
Thanks in advance for any tips,
Neil
Is there anyway the

Thanks Lilybiri
I've bene recording at full screen (1024x768 or close enough) in order to get the largest recording space possible - and then resizing the project to 800x600 for the web production. The problem is that there is no optimise for web setting (or none that I can see). I just did another test and each background image is 3000kb - way over the top for something that will be viewed on the web.
Does this help you get a fuller picture? Any advice?
Thanks for sparing your time to answer here btw - much appreciated
Neil

Regarding background or foreground thread in C#

i like to know what is background thread and what is foreground thread ?
how they are different ?
which one we should always use?
threads are by default background or foreground ?
the new Task Parallel Library use thread class or is it totally different one?
what kind of thread TPL used background or foreground ?
how TPL is different from normal thread class and ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem ?
looking for discussion in details with sample code. thanks

Background threads are identical to foreground threads with one exception: a background thread does not keep the managed execution environment running. Once all foreground threads have been stopped in a managed process (where the .exe file is a managed assembly),
the system stops all background threads and shuts down:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/h339syd0%28v=vs.110%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
>>the new Task Parallel Library use thread class or is it totally different one?
A Task resembles a thread but at a higher level of abstraction. Please refer to Jon Skeet's answer in the following thread for more information:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13429129/task-vs-thread-differences.
It is recommended to use the higher level abstraction (Task) wherever you can. You rarely need to explicitly start your own thread in C# 4 or later.
>>what kind of thread TPL used background or foreground ?
Background. When you create a Task, it is the responsibility of a TaskScheduler to ensure that the work of the task is eventually executed. The default TaskScheduler uses the ThreadPool under the hood to queue and execute work:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd997402(v=vs.110).aspx. And the ThreadPool creates background threads.
>>how TPL is different from normal thread class and ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem ?
The TPL has the advantage of being able to hook into internals of the ThreadPool that are not exposed publicly and that can boost performance in a variety of key scenarios. It scales the degree of concurrency dynamically to most efficiently use all the processors
that are available for you.
Please refer to the following MSDN blog post for more information:

?s about restoring library, recovered 800+ photos with File Salvage

I made two errors that caused me to lose the photos I'd imported to my new internal hard drive. I was determined to start off right and stick to good rules of organization I've learned on this forum. The errors were that I deselected in advance preferences to have iPhoto import the original (thanks again Old Toad, for solving that mystery for me) AND then I emptied the trash and of course the originals got dumped. OT pointed me to File Salvage and I decided to pony up with the purchase. Last night I pulled out huge groups of jpegs onto my external hard drive.
There seemed to be no way in File Salvage to focus only on the jpegs in the already emptied trash. I think it was showing me all jpegs on my computer. I started finding a photo I wanted, hitting restore and then looking for my next photo. I quickly realized that each photo was then appearing on my ex HD in two layers of folders and each was called jpeg 1. There is no way I wanted to open all those individual folders to get to each photo. There is no apparent way to select some of the photos as you preview them in File Salvage to do a mass export of only the ones you selected. I decided I'd rather transfer huge bunches of them and use Preview to cull out all the backgrounds, and tons unwanted jpegs. This would not be an acceptable solution if I didn't have a brand new HD. I cannot imagine wading through years' worth of jpegs or larger libraries.
Now I have a few photos of hundreds of images. I have a few questions about when I get ready to re-import to iPhoto:
Is there anyway to reunite the photos with the PICT title assigned to it when taken? I want them to show the time and date they were taken too. I don't know how I'll sort them back into rolls without that aid. Right now they are a completely jumbled mess sorted by size so I could rule out the thousands of jpegs in the small KB size and zero in on the 1-4 MB size my camera produces. (Strangely I found a few in the 18-20 MB size???)
I will be putting the originals into folders to regroup them with the subjects or events they were taken from but that still leaves me hundreds of photos in each category in some cases. I'm so used to using iPhoto to sort by name, title, date and I don't know if all that gets masked with the recovery and makes it look like all these photos were taken on the same day.
I still have my thumbnail aliases neatly organized in iPhoto from when I thought I imported all the missing photos. When I reimport do I get more thumbnails? Should I empty my iPhoto library completely before I bring the originals in? Remember that I'm working with a brand new HD and these mistakes affected everything I have in iPhoto. Right now iPhoto only contains the thumbnails, metadata information, and the modified photos that were rotated in my camera.
I'm looking at hours of tedious work to restore my photos and any suggestions that will streamline my efforts would be welcome.

MacLoyal:
I know of two ways you can rename them, temporarily, sequentially so you can get them into a single or a few folders.
1 - create a "container" folder and put all of the other folders into it.
2 - download and launch the iView MediaPro demo.
3 - in the new catalog window drag the "container" folder.
All of the files will be imported into the catalog. You can check to see if the capture date in the files has been preserved by selecting a photo and clicking on the Info button at the top. Then in the Photo EXIF section you can see if the capture date is intact. If so then you can sort on the capture date to get them in chronological order. (If needed click on the house button in the tool bar to see all photos in the catalog).
Now select all and go to the Action->Batch Rename menu item. There select Date and the number from 1. In the #### field put in 3. That will make the last part of the file name -001.jpg, -002.jpg, etc. so they will list correctly in the finder. The old and new names will show in the bottom like this. If you have more than 999 files to rename make that #### field = 4.
Once they have been renamed you can group them as desired and select and drag them to new folders on the desktop that you've created for that purpose. Of drag directly into an open iPhoto window to create a roll of those particular images. To indicate which ones you've moved hit the 1,2 ...9 keys to assign a color label to them after moving.
The other way is, after putting all of those folders into a container folder, open the container and type Command-F. Then in the Search window select the following criteria:
File type = image
File size is greater than 100 KB
That will find all of the full sized image within all of those folders. Do a select all and drag into an open iPhoto window. The files will be copied and will be titled jpg 1.jpg, jpg 1_2.jpg, jpg 1_3.jpg, etc.
You can then do your arranging however you want, batch change the title, sort by date if the the capture date is still there. If you want to physically rename the files you'll have to export them to the desktop using the Use Title option. Then reimport to the library and delete the first set.
