Managing images

Hi there
I am trying to establish if iphoto duplicates images if you have them in you library and then place some in a separate album? Or are the images in the album simply referencing thre library images?
Secondly, along the same lines as the previous question, are the images in the modified folder (in finder) duplicates or merely referenced files from the originals.
I am hoping they are referenced files as otherwise the HD will fill Very quickly.
Cheers in advance for any info.
Scott

Albums, books, calendars, etc just store references to the images.
They are actually represented by files in the Events/Rolls.
Modified images are copied. This is to allow reversion to the untouched original in case you later change your mind about your edits.

How to manage image in a column of a table

Hi all,
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.2 and ADF faces.
I would like to have a table with a column to save an image. After that I would like to have a page .jspx that visualize the fields of the table, including the image.
I would like to know how I have to do:
1) in the database to save the image
2) to visualize and manage images on my .jspx page
I have read something on the forum and googling, but I have found threads of one-two years ago, and I don't know if they give to me the right solution for my version of Jdeveloper.
Can you give me a step by step procedure to solve my problem? Do you have any links to suggest me?
Regards
Andrea

We did a web app a while ago and used image files for warehouse to show images of parts
1. BLOB
2. We didn't use adf. also I am using 10.1.3.4.

Disconnected managed images after data recovery

First of all, hello to all of you willing to help me,
I am on a trip around the globe with limited internet access and only my mac, a camera and now three external hdd (and my wife G). Hence, not many options to deal with technical problems. Further more am I a fairly new, meaning un-experinced aperture user.
The problem:
After b-tree header error, DiskWarrior usage, relocation of aperture library (and all other restorable data) to new external hdd is aperture not willing to identify the current location of most of the pix I once had in the library (10.000+). The pictures in one "project" and all sub folders/albums are connected and usable as ever. The rest shows a little badge in the right hand corner with a red line crossing a square from the bottom left to the upper right corner.
Before the b-tree header error, I had all "masters" as "managed images".
Now most images are still physically in the library when I control-click on the library and take a look into the package.
I tried to reconnect the pictures within aperture. But this is not do able. If I select more then one image and follow the instructions from the manual it wont give me the option to reconnect the pix. If I choose one image - it works. But searching through the directories for 10.000+ pictures by hand can't be the final solution.
Moreover, the repair library option does not start when I try it with alt-cmd-dbl click.
What shall I do? Any solutions?
Thanks for any help in advance!
P.S.
if I did not use the correct terms in english forgive me please. I work on a german language setting.

First of all it means you have had your masters Referenced, and now connection has been lost, for now.
Did you think they were Managed? Sounds like you need to reconnect to the source drive for your masters, either one or more?

GPS Metadata for Managed Images Bug

Alright this is really dumb. Aperture strips the GPS metadata for managed images on a version export, but does not for referenced files.
It just took me 4 hours to figure that out, ug. Metadata is sacred! Always preserve it.

My Aperture library uses managed masters.
I too discovered that if I performed *version exports* of geotagged masters the exported images did not retain the GPS data. The problem was the same regardless of whether the masters were .jpgs or RAW files. (Geotagging was performed with Maperture and Maperture Pro; the bug symptoms are the same regardless of which tool was used.)
Additionally, I discovered that if I performed *master exports*, then not only were the geotags retained in the exported files, but that +reimporting those same exports resulted in new masters whose versions would subsequently retain their geotags on version export+.
synonym wrote:
If you Relocate Masters... BEFORE you add GPS metadata using Maperture you don't lose any IPTC metadata. If you then Consolidate Masters... you can then apply GPS metadata to these images within your Aperture library and you will not lose IPTC or the GPS data on exporting the versions.
If I'm reading this correctly it sounds like you can "scrub" your library of the problem by relocating masters and then consolidating them again, and that subsequently applied geotags (and by inference IPTC metadata) will be retained on new version exports. Did I get that right?
However if you already have loads of images in your Aperture library that you have added GPS data to with Maperture and you also have loads of IPTC metadata on them and adjustments what do you do?
I did a backup of the library at this point to a vault. I then restored the vault and GPS data and IPTC metadata was all retained and was also all retained on exporting versions!
And if I'm reading the last sentence of your post correctly, it seems like the consistent behavior between our two situations is that if *images are brought into the library with geotags already in them* - in your case by library restoration and in my case by re-importation of previously geotagged masters - *then the geotags will be retained on subsequent master and version exports*.
Is that a valid conclusion to draw? If so, it sounds like I could workaround the problem of geotags missing from my version exports by either A) relocating and then consolidating my masters, or B) by the three-step process of:
1) geotagging my images,
2) updating the vault, and then
3) restoring my library from the vault.

Best way to manage images in a swing app

Hi.
I have a swing app that uses alot of images around 100+ at around 40kb each.
I am currently using new ImageIcon("icon\\main.png")) to create them.
Is this the most efficient way to manage images?
Would it be more efficeint to store then in the mysql database?
and / or use SwingWorker (http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/SwingWorker.html)
Cheers
Bobby

Hi Bobby,
It depends on what you want to be more efficient:
1) CPU cycles
2) Reducing jar size
3) Ease of maintenance
4) Prevent typing errors in file names
For me, number 3 and 4 are important. So, what I generally do, is create an enum that desribes the images that are contained in the same package as the enum. Now I'm able to change the package name with no consequence. I only have to type the filename once and know when I have to double check of what I type. Something like this:
package org.pbjar.geom.images;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
public enum Images {
    AUTHOR_SMALL("TheAuthor.jpg"),
    AUTHOR_LARGE("PietKopLarge.jpg"),
    private final String filename;
    Images(String filename) {
     this.filename = filename;
    public ImageIcon getIcon() {
     return new ImageIcon(getImage());
    public BufferedImage getImage(){
     try {
         return ImageIO.read(getURL());
     } catch (IOException e) {
         throw new RuntimeException(e);
    public URL getURL() {
     return this.getClass().getResource(filename);
}Piet

Content Managed Image Gallery

I am looking to see if there is an image gallery available
out there that I can use in DreamWeaver that will allow my client
to upload images, add categories and captions and the likes. I know
nothing of dynamic development so I guess I am looking for some
type of extension, or 3rd party effort that I can embed into the
site, yet maintain the site's identity. Sure sounds like I am
asking for too much I know, but...
Thanks in advance!

Would depend entirely on the scope of the original term
"Content Managed
Image Gallery". I have used PVII's ImageGalleryMagic on my
brother's site
in both a STATIC and a DYNAMIC mode -
http://www.wildimages.biz/w_galleries.php
The Wild Horses are STATIC, and the rest are DYNAMIC (MySQL).
The static stuff is easy as pie. The dynamic is custom-built,
but not
difficult. I used IGM from PVII and DataAssist from
WebAssist. What I like
about DataAssist is that the code is pretty simple to
understand and to
customize - that certainly wasn't my experience with ADDT.
But each person
will be different, you know? Let me hasten to say that DA
alone will not do
this for you - you cannot avoid getting into the code. A case
in point
would be the image uploading for the galleries....

Managed image not found

I was doing a relocate originals to get the masters out of my vault and into a backed up system. After it was "done", there is one file that says "image not found". However, I can find the image file. How can I get Aperture to not see it as a managed image (that isn't in its vault) and instead to be a referenced image where I can point it to the file?
Thanks in advance,
Alan
Aperture 3.4.4

The message in the vault panel can be misleading. It will also count files in the Photo Stream. Are you using Photo Stream?
If Aperture relocated your images, you will be able to use the command "File > Show in Finder". Try that on some files in the project in question. If aperture still has the file indexed as "managed", the Show in Finder should be grayed out.
If your files are truely managed, you will see them in the Library package. Ctrl-click the Aperture library and use the command "Show Package Contents". Open the folder "Masters" and navigate to the subfolder of the date, when you imported the project. Managed originals should be stored there.
Regards
Léonie
Ah-ha! Yes, it's PhotoStream well, 155 of them are. The reast are in various sub-folders under Masters but they aren't the master files (those are definitely disk outside of the Library) and they are very small - <100k and the ones I've looked at are 720x540 whereas the originals were either 2048x1536 (iPhone 4S) or 3888x2592 (CanonEOS400D) so I don't know where they've come from The only clue is that the pixel size is the size of Std Def TV (UK PAL).
I take it that PhotoStream images are Managed and can't be Referenced? Any idea where the others may have come from? I take it that it wouldn't be wise to go deleting them!!

Smart "managed images" album

When I switched to Referenced images, I adopted Karen Buckland's trick (thanks, Karen!) of making a smart album to keep track of any images that are still Managed for some reason, so I could then relocate them as referenced.
When I send an image to Photoshop and save, I know it comes back in as managed. It also comes back as part of a stack (created when Aperture creates a PSD version to send to Photoshop). But the image won't show up in the "managed images" smart album as long as it's in a stack.
Is there any possible way to have a smart album recognize this, and have it include managed images that are part of a stack?

In the smart album query hud, check the box at the bottom to ignore stack groupings.

MobileMe Sync Mess--How did I get managed images?

I see that I have a number of managed images.... they seem to be related to my previously created MobileMe galleries that were created with another AP library or perhaps some were done without AP.
So, this is a mess.... I don;t want AP littering my library with stuff it finds on the internet...
Aso, I see the import sessions has blossomed to a large number.... it seems as it was syncing with MobileMe every 3 pics or so it created a new import session..... is that crazy or what?
Any thoughts about dealing with these issues???
Thanks,
Robert

Hi Robert,
I'll be honest, I am having a hard time following what you are saying so I'll do my best to hopefully give you some guidance.
Currently, Aperture will show all the photos you sync with Mobile Me in your Aperture library. That is to say that if you select an album, and it contains photos that are not currently in your Aperture library, those photos will now appear. This may not be the desired behavior for you but there really isn't a way to have them not appear. The same would go for the import sessions, it may not be how you want it to work but that is currently how the application behaves. I would suggest writing feedback at www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html
Cheers,
Owen

Media Manager - Images tranferred - Displays a red X

Have 8703e BB. Have Internet Services turned off directly by Sprint - don't need it and do not want to be charged for the non-communication Casual Data Usage (a slick illegal method cell phone companies charge when internet services are turned off - had to file federal charges before they took it off my bill). Can't download ringtones or pictures.
Tried to transfer ringtones and images a while ago and Media Manager would not recognize my device. Finally found out that without an external card, the Media Manager would not recognize my device.
However, just installed the new OS and Desktop Manager 4.2.2.14 with Media Manager and it recognizes my device!
I transferred a ringtone from my PC to my device and...YES...Viva La Vida plays!!!!
BUT, two images I transferred show up with a generic image thumbnail and the picture displayed is just a small red X in the upper left hand corner. Yet, when I highlight the folder in the device in Media Manager, the pictures display very clearly.
To also clarify, the pictures reside in MEDIA>PICTURES>DEVICE MEMORY
Under properties for the folder, the file path is - /Device Memory/home/user/pictures
The sizes of the pictures are 37KB and 65KB, hardly any different than the images in the Preloaded Pictures folder, which path is /Device Memory/samples/pictures
Is this a BB issue or Media Manager issue? As I said, the ringtone transferred and works, the images transferred and are listed, but don't display. Anyone have a solution to this problem?
I've reset the device by taking the battery out, etc. Nothing. Pictures still give me the red x.
Thanks,
Dan

Ok, so this has been driving me nuts for such a long time. I did everything that anyone suggested and nothing worked. This included creating a new temp internet files folder, checking and unchecking all the appropriate boxes, creating a new profile, and
most other things suggested. Then I cam across something on a forum (sorry I don't know the link) that made me think. I looked through the reg to the key HKCU>Software>Microsoft>Office>15.0
(I use outlook 2013 but previous versions of office were there as well.)>Outlook>Security>OutlookSecureTempFolder. My setting was C:\Users\"USER"\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\TIF\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\B5U77NH4\.
NOTE: TIF is where I chose to create the new Temporary Internet Files folder. Ur most likely will be different or not there at all!!!
What I realized was that the last folder in this setting was different that the actual folder on my harddrive. So I edited just the last folder B5U77NH4 to be the same as the folder on my HDD. WALA this worked and works great currently. All the other fixes
sometimes worked for a short while but always reverted back. I do have to say though that prior to doing this I went into Internet Options and deleted all the browsing history. EVERYTHING it sucked for freq visited websites but I wanted to start fresh.
Then I physically selected every item that was still in my Temp Internet files folder, even B5U77NH4 and manually deleted every item. That way any folder that was created dynamically would be gone. What was left and would not delete was B5U77NH4 so that is
the folder I chose to copy into the registry.
]This has been so frustrating but now it seems to work. I hope this helps.

Accessing Aperture managed images from Adobe Bridge

If I import images as managed, is there any way I can use Adobe Bridge to view them?
Thank you.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8) Aperture 1.5.2

What you could do is to create a smart folder in the finder, which shows all the image files in the Aperture library. This is functionality built in to OS X 10.4 -- it's part of Spotlight.
When you viewed this folder from Bridge, you'd be able to see the image files. The only issue is, they would all appear in one long list -- which could be a real pain if you had 10,000+ images.
Also, it's likely that in that case that Bridge would spray XMP files inside the Aperture folder -- something I would be leery of.
IMO if you want to view the RAW files from Bridge, you should move to a referenced setup. With Aperture 1.5 converting between the two is a cinch.

Can Bridge manage images?

I'm looking for a software that will manage over 300 to 700 gigabyte of images. Some of the file type are as follows:
jpg,
jpeg
gif
png
ai
eps
psd
tiff
Will Adobe Bridge be able to manage? I want the software to be able to search the whole 300-700GB base on file name, metadata, or date. If Adobe Bridge can't do it, what are some of the best software that will be able to handel this?
Many thanks in advance.

Bridge can do what you want, but can it do it the way you want is the question. For it to find something the files have to be indxed, and for some systems this becomes a problem, especially on folders visited infrequently. Problems can also arise with files on a network or external drive, or across different drives (not possible)..
Do you have Bridge now? Does it work for you? Since Bridge is not a standalone product it would be expensive to buy Photoshop just to do searches.
Vista can also search for files, and is quite fast if you have your files indxed with the MS system. There are also other browsers like Picasa that might work.
So depends on what you have and how you will be using it.

Managing images with more than 72ppp

Hello, my question is about image managing. I've to print some images with more resolution than 72ppp, and I don't know how to make it possible. Whatever the resolution of the image I handle is, I obtain the same result in my printer (only 72 ppp).
Thanks.

Take alook at the setPrinterResolution and setPrintQuality:
int pRes = op.getWidth()/8;
java.awt.PageAttributes pa = new java.awt.PageAttributes();
pa.setPrintQuality(java.awt.PageAttributes.PrintQualityType.NORMAL);
if(pRes<300) pa.setPrinterResolution(200);
else pa.setPrinterResolution(300);

A3: Managing images on external HDD

Hello,
i am new to Aperture (and Mac ) and want to manage my pictures with Aperture. What i do is import the pictures and leaving them in the current location. Then if i browse through the images i select the pictures i want to delete and use "delete master image and all versions". I thought that this would delete the images in the "current location" on the external HDD too, but this is not the case - even after deleting the trash of aperture and MacOS.
Is there a way to manage the pictures the way i want them managed ? I don't mind if Aperture won't save the changes on the pictures i make just in the library and leave the original pictures as they are, but i would like to be able to delete the unwanted pictures via aperture - is there a way to do this ?
Thanks in advance,
Tobias

Tobias,
It is possible to delete referenced files all from with Aperture:
Once you have the files you want deleted in the Aperture trash, you use the 'Aperture menu > Empty Aperture trash' command.
You should see a confirmation dialog asking if you are sure you want to permanently delete the items in the Aperture trash. Inside this dialog there is a small check box for 'Move referenced files to system trash'. Just check that box and click the 'Delete' button.
You can now deal with the files in the OS trash as you normally do.
I hope this helps.

Managing images on mac devices

Hi,
I never transferred any photos from my iPhone to any other device. I need room to upgrade to the new iOS so I transferred years worth of photos to iPhoto and deleted the images off my phones.
I regret doing this... I need access to the individual jpgs as stand alone files. For example, if I want to attach an image to an email, I used to use my phone. But now I can't. I found Ive had to manually export the image I'm interested in, then attach it in the email I'm writing.
I don't want to send the email directly from Photo Booth but from gmail.
Is there an efficient/clean way to manage the images without being stuck in iPhoto? Any suggestions on what I can do now?

Can you email from Mail with your Gmail account? If so then go to iPhoto's Advanced preference pane and set Mail as your email client for iPhoto.
Now you can select an photo, click on the Share button at the bottom of the window and select Mail from the options presented:
That will let you use Mail to send your photos.

I would like to find a file manager/ image browser like ACDSee 32

Coming from the Windows environment (it is where I make my living) I have found the Mac environment to be significantly different and pose a considerable learning curve especially when it comes to file management. I like to be able to view and manage files from within the same application but have yet to find something that will allow me the freedom I am used to. Ideally I am looking for something like ACDSee 32 (the last good version) which acts like a typical file manager but has a full sized preview pane as well. This allows you to preview a picture then drag and drop it into a folder of your choosing. The software also allows you to do some minor edits and create folders as well.
Preview on my MacBook is a still born idea, iPhoto want to take all of my photos and store them in a proprietary environment (not happening) and Xie is a very nice file viewer but does nothing else. Any useful suggestions of a software that will do what I would like it to do would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Photoshop.
