LR 3.2 - Can't publish original jpeg to smugmug?

Hi,
I have some jpegs that I want to publish to smugmug using the new Publish Service in LR 3.2. The jpegs are already compressed to medium size, so I'd like to avoid having LR open them and re-compress them.
However, when I select 'Original' in the publish settings for smugmug, LR uploads a highly compressed version of my images (file size on disk is 4.45 MB, on smugmug only 980 KB)!
Is this a bug, or how can I get LR to upload the original file?
Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike
I’m not seeing any compression. Make sure your SmugMug set-up dialog has the same pixel dimensions as the original jpeg with quality set to 100%

Can iWeb publish with JPEGS rather than PNG?

Is there any way to make iWeb use only jpegs rather than PNG files when publishing? Also, I think a picture quality slider would be helpfull for compression and site size management... thanks

You can minimize the chances of iWeb converting your jpgs into PNGs if you pay attention to the following things...
1. Scale your jpgs to the resolution they are to be used...don't let iWeb do the scaling if possible (like dropping a photo in and then adjusting the size handles). Target your resolution and then drop the photo in and select "Use Original Size" in the Inspector Shape tab.
2. Do not apply effects to your jpgs....if you do, iWeb will automatically convert to PNG and the file size will be even bigger! These effects include drop shadows, rotation, frames, opacity changes, etc.
3. Be aware that in some templates, dropping a photo into iWeb automatically applies frames, drop shadows, and/or reflections. You can deselect these enhancements in the Inspector panel after dropping the photos in. If you don't, iWeb will convert to PNG.
4. Do not use the "Use image as background" option. Better to drag an exactly sized jpg photo into iWeb and push it to the very back layer than to use this option.
You are right, iWeb or at least iPhoto needs to have some sort of user control over jpg compression. I use another app for this purpose called "Downsize". On the plus side, it also lets me apply shadows and frames to photos and saves the finished image with effects and all as a jpg.

FCE 1.0.1 Can't Import "Original" JPEGs - FCE 3.0 Can !

Not a serious problem - just a puzzling quirk.
When I try to import JPEGs which have been produced by my digital camera, FCE 1.0.1 shows them greyed out and impossible to select.
However, if I make a copy (or in any way manipulate the JPEG) in Photoshop and save it, it shows up nice and black and can be imported.
FCE 3.0 works perfectly with either an original camera image or a copy.
Can anyone explain why FCE 1.0.1 behaves in this strange way?
What is the difference between the original and a copy? They are both JPEGs after all.
Ian.

Thanks Al.
I think this my be one of those mysteries like the Meaning of Life!
There seems to be no logical reason. The JPEGs from my camera are perfectly bog-standard and are recognised by everything including FCE 3.0 but 1.0.1 doesn't.
I tried to save the JPEG in Photoshop and it was still grey.
However if I use the "Save As" command the newly saved version can be imported into 1.0.1 with no problem. Somehow the "Save As" command must be imparting some subtle change in the format that 1.0.1 can detect.
This has no practical impact on my life because normally I will never use 1.0.1 for that - it's just that I don't like mysteries.

HOW CAN I Publish ALL the Original Different Colors in iCal

I am trying to publish a grouped calendar which includes several differently colored events. I am testing it by subscribing to it from an iCal that has no calendars created at all....and it still will not publish the different colors of the original calendar. All the events appear as one color.
How can I publish/share my calendar and have ALL the different colors show?
-I am publishing using a .Mac account.
THANKS VERY MUCH for any help anyone can give! It will be hugely appreciated.

I am having this same trouble - I publish
webcal://ical.mac.com/neyt/neyt.ics
as a grouped calendar. I tried resetting my sync data fromthe computer that this calendar lives on ( OSX 10.4 because I realized earlier versions have Ical that doesn't even group..)
Now when I have a subscriber pull down the .ics file, it doesn't show up as grouped, nor do the groups live onthe website version.
why don't these groups just show up? if I send people the .ics file - it all works just fine...
I know that some colors might be in use on other computers, I'm sure that other colors will be assigned s individuals need them in their calendars, but the groupings should sync...
help!!

Can I put the original JPEGs on DVD with slideshow

I have built a slideshow but I'd like to have the original JPEGs available on the DVD also. Can I do this within Encore ?
I have a memory of reading it's possible but I can't find the reference and am wondering if I'm maybe mixing up with Premier.
Thanks

On the
Disc tab is an option to add "DVD-ROM Content". You can use this to add any kind of files (like the original JPEGs) to the DVD.

Can XML Publisher add a digital certificate (cert.pfx) via the xdo.cfg file or do I need to upgrade and use BI Publisher instead?

Hi Guys
I need to add a digital certificate to a clients customer statements and invoices. XML Publisher 5.6.3 has been used originally to design the templates as RTF. I have the following questions please...
1. Can an RTF template be used or do I need to convert it to a pdf template?
2. Can XML publisher even be used or do I need to get the DBAs to install BI Publisher. XML Publisher doesn't even have the signature properties in the admin screens that BI Publisher has.
Below is a copy of the xdo.cfg file which currently does not add the pfx file...

I edit my photos in Photoshop, save as jpeg then import back into iPhoto. But if I add text to an image in Photoshop can't save as jpeg but as psd. Is there any way I can change to jpeg in iPhoto?

I edit my RAW photos in Photoschop CS3, save as jpeg then import back into iPhoto 11. If I add text in Photoshop I can't save as jpeg but as psd. Is there any way I can change to jpeg in iPhoto?

Yes you can. But you need to flatten it as jpeg doesn't support layers.
While the final JPEG can't have layers, it is not necessary to flatten the original Photoshop file to create a JPEG. There are two ways to make a JPEG while not losing the flexibility of preserving layers, and they both flatten on the fly while saving.
I just tried this in Photoshop CS3 myself. When I add a text layer, and choose Save, the Save As dialog box comes up and defaults to PSD as was described. But... that is just the default! Go ahead and choose JPEG from the Format pop-up menu down below the file list. JPEG is in there. So what happens to the layers? Notice when you choose JPEG, the Layers box grays out and the "As A Copy" box grays out and is checked (i.e. you cannot uncheck it). What is going on here is Photoshop will gladly make a JPEG of your layered file, but it will force the JPEG to be a copy, so as to not overwrite the original layered file. This is good, because your Photoshop file with its editable text layer is preserved, and you get a JPEG copy to put in iPhoto.
The second way is, instead of doing Save or Save As, choose File/Save for Web and Devices. This will also give you a JPEG choice, and also create an exported copy. Because this way makes files for the Web, they will be smaller than JPEGs from Save As because they will lack built-in previews (which you don't really need these days) and other extra metadata that take up space.
Either way you get a JPEG you can toss back into iPhoto.

Only by exporting.
The Export menu in Photoshop CS3 does not have any direct choices for JPEG.

How do I script a listbox to display doc pdf file attachments (originally jpegs) in a one page document being viewed in a Reader or Acrobat?

I have placed a listbox on a one page pdf doc to select and display any of several pdf attachments (originally jpegs). What javascripting will do this? I have tried openDataObject and getDataObjectContents (feeding them the listbox "export value" which is the name of the attached file. Code runs without exception, but no attachment displays?

I don't know of any way to do what you want using the 'open' command. It can probably be done with Applescript, which you could call from a shell script. The Preview application doesn't seem to be scriptable. I don't use Acrobat, so I can't tell you anything about that. Looking through the dictionaries of the apps I do have, it seems that Skim (another PDF viewer) has an AS 'page' class. Below are a couple of links that may get you started. Look for more specific guidance in Applescript forums.

How can I publish my flash movie in one swf file in V.2

Hi
When I publish my movie to flash format , skin swf file is
segregated from main movie swf file . How can I publish my movie
only in one swf file ? I want to merge skin and main movie files
together in one swf file .

Hi Corona,
The screen size is whatever you captured or specified during
the recording or new movie setup process. This will cause the
playback control to be placed "on top of" some portion of the
captured background, but there are two ways around that problem.
1) When you set the red recording area before recording, drag
the bottom of the recording area downward about 35 pixels below the
application window (assuming you are capturing an area that
includes a "bottom" or even an application window - grin). For this
to work, it is best if you do your recording against a
solid-one-colored desktop background, so the "extra" area at the
bottom doesn't include desktop images that you don't want in the
capture (even though that area will not be visible in the end ...)
OR...
2) Use the Project > Resize Project dialog to increase the
palette size on the bottom, taking care to leave the original movie
the same size. This will effectively do the same thing as
Suggestion #1, create a "blank" area at the bottom of the movie on
which there is room to mount the playback control bar.
Best of luck, Corona, and omid02. Hope this helps, in
conjunction with the advice that Rick has already offered.

After syncing a JPEG photo from ITUNES to IPAD, how large is the file on IPAD? does the answer depend on the size of the original JPEG file in ITUNES?

1) Does downsizing the original jpeg photos to be synced with IPAD help reduce the total storage required on IPAD for the photos? What is the relationship between original JPEG file size in ITUNES vs final synced photo file size on IPAD?

Thank you for your response.
The sync process compresses the JPEG files -- the question is how much, so that I can determine a) how many photos 32 gigs will store in sync, and b) can I reduce the memory required by taking smaller jpeg files with my camera

In C4: What determines the max number of slide one can successfully publish?

Using C4.
I am required by policy to use an original PowerPoint file. The total number of slide equals 72 (file size 38,201 KB when completed). The internal customer wants a "kicky" presentation based on her slides, so I must use some of the Captivate tools (e.g. zoom area, highlight box -- about the limit of my skills). And there must be spoken narration, not the text to speech feature. Total time for the 72 slides is 22.5 minutes when all is done. When published the narration is good, but the "kicky" part fails. Specifically some highlight boxes do not appear on many slides.
I deleted the table-of-contents feature. The most unusual tools that I'm using are the certificate widget, and a page turning widget.
I tried breaking the presentation into two parts. Part 1 was 58 slides and I experienced the same behavior. I've not tried part two yet.
In the past, I practiced, on my computer, with the aggregator. Is this the best route? We have no experience hosting an aggregator project on our server. Are there any special concerns about doing so? (I'm not the person who does this. He is out of the office at this time). Would daisy-chaining be a better route? (if so, what is the best source for instruction to do this?)

Again, I did not see the elephant in the room. I neglected to notice a default setting. Once corrected, everything works. My bad.
But, I would still like to know what determines the maximum number of slides on can successfully publish without Aggregator or daisy-chaining.

Can't publish to network drive

We recently upgraded our network to Leopard and Flash to CS3,
and since then, I can't publish to a network drive.
The reason I need to do this is that we're on a network where
all our project files are on the server, and we work directly from
the server. With previous versions of Flash and the system, I was
able to work on a Flash file on the server and publish or test to
the same place. Now I need to copy my flash file to my local
computer in order to publish or test.
If I try, I get this error: "Error creating Flash movie file.
Be sure the destination file is not locked or on a locked drive.
Also, check that the file name is not too long." Neither of those
are the case.
Does anybody know what I can do to fix this? Thanks so much
for your help.

Hi there,
I was able to fix it by reading someone else's post in the forum (thanks to Webshawty5). This is what I did to fix it:
I created a new folder within the folder where my original files were, called it SWF, and in the publish setting options, I changed the path to point to this new SWF folder.
That seemed to work. I don't know why it doesn't work any other way... but at least, it's publishing them. Then I just move my SWF files to the original folder and it replaces any old SWF files I had there.
I know it's not ideal, but hey, IT WORKS!
Phewww... I feel much better now. Hope this helps you too:)

How can I publish two sites separately?

I want to publish a new site, but every time I do it, the old is the same folder than the new one.
My question is: how can I publish them separately?
Regards.

I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Why has adobe acrobat changed the dimensions of my original jpeg file?

Why has adobe acrobat changed the dimensions of my original jpeg file? I uploaded an A3 jpeg file and adobe converted it to pdf but the scale is all wrong. Why is this? What can I do about it?

Normally if you open a graphic in Acrobat, it automatically adjusts the PDF to the size of the graphic. It sounds as though you are doing something else to create a PDF. It would help to know how you created the PDF, you seem to be suggesting you did it with an online tool and not Acrobat. In that case you should go to the appropriate product forum.

Can not publish or export CS4, Vista

Hello all,
I'm hoping someone has had this problem and can help. I am using a new computer with Vista. I'm using Flash CS4. My flash document is huge and has an imported video in it. So the file size is 675 MB. (I'm guessing this is the problem). Anyway, I have moved the flash document from the server to my computer. I also saved it as a CS4 version - it was created in MX. I can not publish it or export it. I need it to be a swf file, html, or .mov. I was able to do it once as a swf file, but I needed to make changes to it and now I can't get it to export again. The progress bar shows up like it's publishing, but when it's halfway done, the window disappears and nothing has happened.
It's enough to drive you insane. Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Well, I converted it into an flv after I read about it in the help. But the quality was horrible. It made the video into a smaller file, but it made it grainy and pixilated. I think the original format of my video was the problem, however. Because I was reading in the CS4 help docs and it said the only format you can import is flv. I originally imported the wmv into Flash MX and then opened that file in Flash CS4. So I bet when I went to export from CS4 it would process until it got to the wmv and then just stop. Would be nice if there as an error message. Still doesn't explain why I was able to export it from CS4 once though! Oh and the help also says that you should only embed a short - 10 second etc - video directly into the timeline in Flash. oops! Mine was 12 minutes, ha.
Anyway, thanks for the idea about just using Windows Movie Maker. I didn't know you could add titles to scenes until you mentioned it and then I read about it in WMM. I had to trick the program a little to get my titles to be on the top of the scene instead of the middle, but it will work for next time.
Thanks!
