Multiple images (thumbnails) and the Mediaplayer

I confused about how to approach the concept of OSMF's Mediaplayer
working with something like a scrolling list of thumbnail images.
I understand that you can have multiple instances of the Mediaplayer,
but how do you work with the addEventListeners?
Do you store the instances, inside an Array or ArrayCollection?
I can't find any online docs or code that helps me understand this use case.
I would appreciate any advice.

I may be asking for something OSMF was never intended to do and maybe I should not be thinking of building playlists using OSMF at all.
I want to create some kind of Playlist that has a image (scrolling list, cover flow, etc...).
I was assuming that the image inside this playlist could be displayed using an MediaPlayer/ImageElement. This palylist does not need to use SerialElement or ParallelElements in this case, I think.
While thinking through this I figured I could store an instance of the MediaPlayer in an Array, for each image. Then my thoughts turned to handling all the possible addEventListeners and it seemed like a nightmare. Now, I can do all this normally without MediaPlayers, I guess I'm just seeing how far OSMF can reach.
To me playlists, in different forms, are companions to a MediaPlayer, right? Even video might need a visual image playlist.
So I guess my question is, where is a good cut off point for using or not using OSMF for displaying images in an application?
Has anyone built a visual playlist using OSMF to display an image?

Multiple Image Upload and watermarking

Hi,
I am using a gallery script which takes main images from a dynamic folder and creates thumbnails on the fly.
It gets the main images dynamically from
$config['fulls'] = $_GET['imgfolder_id'];
Then GD is applied to create thumbnails on the fly. There is no GD role for the main images. I use lightbox to show pop-up image. And the images are uploaded to a dynamic folder using ADDT multiple image upload server behavior.
My requirement: want to apply water mark on the large (pop-up) image. Not on the thumbnail.
Is it possible to have the water mark applied at the time of Multiple Image Upload?
Thanks for any help
Jay

Hi Jay,
if it were a single image upload, I would have suggested to apply a PHP watermark script to the uploaded image by embedding that code in a Custom Trigger, type AFTER -- but as the multiple upload gets proceeded by a flash file, I have no clue how to do that.

Fastest way to add multiple images, one after the other, in DW5.5

There has to be a faster way to add multiple images, one after the other, in a web page rather than just dragging each from the Files tab w/in DW 5.5
I was a little surprized I couldn't select multiple images and just drag a block and have DW just insert an img tag with empty alts and the source path but maybe there is some options I just haven't found?
I tried using Bridge to generate a quick html slideshow/gallery but it creates skads of divs and such... I just have to update an older site and was looking for an efficient way to add a bunch of images (random names ugh so just copying-pasting one and changing names is still more manual) that lie next to each other, no breaks inbetween....seems an ideal automated situation.
I'd settle for an external script or app or something because they come in blocks of 25 approx and I have all my actions in PS set up to size appropriately which is nice so I just wondered if there was something good for this low-level production task.
Thanks

Thanks. Yes, I started writing a script but I just wondered if there were hidden gems in DW....so many programs do more than they are intended to do nowadays, I had to ask people who use it more!
Actually, the fastest was to just dupe one line of code, paste x amount and then just use the pick-wip to point and drag. That at least cut the menu out of the equation.
I thought I remembered doing a batch insert years ago..maybe in GoLive or before Adobe had DW? DW and GoLive are the only GUI html editors I've ever used..but, may it was just something out of an ealier photoshop...they've taken good stuff out and put good stuff in so many times that I can only remember so much!

IPhoto 11 9.3 I click on a thumbnail and the screen is black or has a triangle with exclamation mark inside of it

iPhoto 11 9.13 I click on a thumbnail and the screen is black or has a triangle with an exclamation point

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Adjusting multiple images to be the same size?

Hi,
I'm trying to create a photo collage in Photoshop that consist of multiple photos imported as Smart Objects into layers, that are all the same size. Ideally, I'd like to be able size/crop/scale each image as a group, or individually, on the fly. So lets say that I have 6 images as Smart Objects on layers, and that they are all of varying sizes, and I'd like to adjust each image to be the same precise size, 2" x 3". Maybe later I decide that they should all be 2.5" x 3."5, can I easily change all 6 images at once? I've tried going into Free Transform and changing the size of each individual image here, but I can't get the precise size that I want. Is there a way that I can open a dialog box, and specify the exact size? Can I then repeat this for all images/layers that I've selected?
I hope this makes sense, and that someone has a brilliant idea on how to do this?
Thanks!
Jeff

Image Processor doesn't get me what I'm after.
Photoshop has the option to create a contact sheet. So imagine that I want to create a contact sheet of images, but keep them on separate layers, and be able to change the size of the images as I feel, to fit my collage.

Selecting multiple images to edit the source code

Hi. Does anyone know if there's a way to select multiple
images in a table and change there source code. The reason why I
ask is that I recently decided to organize my assets folder by
adding subfolders. Naturally, this makes my images appear as broken
links. It's a pretty big site that I'm working on and I would like
to know if there is a faster way than just selecting them one by
one.

If you would have created the folders within DW itself (file
management), and moved images from one
folder to the other, the links would have been adjusted
automatically. Carrying out changes like
this outside of DW will create broken links as you have
found.
Did you backup the original site, if so, and have a lot of
broken links, it maybe worthwhile, going
back to the original and use the file management to
rename/create new folders and move your assets
that way.

Selecting multiple image files on the 'insert picture' menu in word

Hi there,
I am trying to insert multiple pictures at once into a word document, on office for mac 2011.
I am using the 'insert picture' option from the toolbar. Shift-click doesn't work like on a PC, and i have tried a variety of button combinations that don't seem to have any effect! Is there any way around this so I don't have to insert picture files into a word document one at a time?
Thanks!

You are right, it does not work. Here is a workaround by doing an intermediate stopover in TextExit (it's in your Dock and/or in your Applications folder):
In the Finder, select your multiple image files
Right-click (or control-click) and select "Copy # items"
Go to TextEdit and paste
Do Select All (Command A) followed by Copy (Command C)
Go back to Word and paste your heart out

Creating image thumbnail and loading to image control

Hi All
Is there way of creating thumbnail of image in flex 3.0 desktop app AIR of any size (2 mb ,etc) and then loading it to the image control
please help....
Thanks

Instead of using FileOutputStream to output your thumbnail to the filesystem, use the ServletOutputStream returned by ServletResponse.getOutputStream() to stream your data back to the browser client. Make sure you set your MIME type appropriately using ServletResponse.setContentType() so the browser knows what kind of data it is receiving and can handle it appropriately.

The "right" way to handle multiple devices, accounts and the cloud?

Perhaps a bit premature, but I figure it's never too early to start planning.
Here's our current setup - I currently have four iDevices in the faily (three iPhones and one iPod Touch. All are syncing to the same Mac Mini, albeit with different logins (and different iTunes store ids). All four of these are kept in sync via Home Sharing so we have access to the music/apps/etc acquired by the others.
Enter the iCloud - how does this fit in? What's the *right* way to do this?
I can see two options:
1)     Continue to utilize four iTunes store ids, sync them via Home Sharing and add four iClouds
     Advantages
          totally independent devices, users, etc.
     Disadvantages
          must pay for four "iTunes Match" services to access non-iTunes music on each of the four devices
          will iTunes-purchased music automaticaly sync to iCloud if it is shared via Home Sharing (or only by the original purchaser)?
2)     Use one iTunes Store id for all iDevices
     Advantages
          single point of acquisition and distribution for all devices
     Disadvantages
          need to find a way to merge IDs (is this even possible?)
Are there other advantages/disadvantages to these options? Are there other options? What's the easiest to set up and support? Any other thoughts?
Thanks in advance for your input.

Well it seems like the first thing you should do is consolidate your iTunes libraries so that you don't have 4 copies of everything, one for each user logged in to your Mac Mini. How you do that is consolidate all 4 iTunes folders to one folder located in the /Users/Shared/ folder and update each of your iTunes to point to that folder accordingly. That way you have one iTunes library, only one copy of your media, but accessible from multiple users.
One caveat is that if somebody is logged on and has iTunes open, you can't fast switch to another user and open iTunes. Apple made it so that only one user and one instance of iTunes can open a iTunes library at a time.
For your iTunes match situation, it does sound like you would be much better off sharing a single Apple ID with one iTunes Match. For consolidating, make sure you have everything everybody has shared via Home Sharing to the main account you'd like to move over to, and then simply go to each device Settings, Store, and the sign out of the original Apple ID and logon using the shared main Apple ID. I just looked at it and the automatic downloading is already live in iOS! You can specify if you want to do music, apps, and books separately in case you may want to automatically download music but not apps or books.

Multiple image files with the same name

I have about 150 images that have been imported into a single lightroom folder that have the same name. These images are from a single event, so Id like to keep them together. The source files are in two different folders on my drive, but they all exist in one folder on lightroom. (for instance, I have two different images, both named CR-0917, both with different retouching). Initially, Lightroom allowed me to do all of my editing on all of the files in one place, even though the names were the same. I have since moved the source folders and files to a different location on my hard drive, but I can't update the files within the folder in lightroom, because lightroom chooses one source, so it gets about half the images right, and half wrong. I spent a ton of time retouching these images and I dont want to have to go back and redo it.
Is there a way to manually update the source information for each image, without Lightroom automatically using all of the images from a single folder? Or does anyone have any other ideas of what I can do? Please help...

I am puzzled about how this problem initially arised, too.
For the issue with several cameras I recommend the following:
1. If the camera lets you, specify a unique prefix so that each photo will have a unique name directly from camera.
E.g. Nikon lets you change their default prefix "DSC" to something else. As I even do not want to have recurring filenames after 10'000 shots I choose "yFL" as prefix, where y=number from 0..9, F=starting letter of ther first name of the camera owner, L=last name. Or other 2 digits that point to the camera model.
For current decade it is even nice to take y=1 for 2011 and so on. As I do roughly 10'000 shutters per year that fits about nicely. [Ok, as of 2020 I will use letters, too. 2046 I have to devise something else hoping that I will still be shooting photos with my same husband.]
2. If the camera does not facilitate such, as Canon: rename upon LR-import by putting a short prefix in front of the originial filename, e.g. yS90_, yG12_
I only want from a filename that it be unique in my household and that I have a rough idea where in sequence of time it may belong.
So if I get pictures from friends I put a prefix for them, too, while importing. Leaving the rest of their original filename is good for further communication about the pic.
I think usually LR takes more properties into account than just filename when deciding about duplicate, such as camera serial no., capture time etc.
Anybody who knows for sure?

How do you acquire multiple image buffers and save to disk later?

Good morning everyone,
I am working with the LabVIEW code posted below. I am taking images through a CCD camera at a high frequency. Therefore, I need this code to be able to keep up with the trigger. I take anywhere from 30 to a few 100 images and acquire them through buffers. The code I have now (which I got from someone else in my lab; I did not write it) saves the images in the for loop in which each is required. This slows down the code considerably. Timing is important to my application. Does anyone know if there is a way to set each buffer aside after they are acquired and then save them to disk AFTER all the images are acquired. I think this will allow the code to keep up with the trigger.
As a side question, I would like to have the code trigger my camera on both the rising and falling edge of the trigger pulse. As you can see from the code, I tried to set this up, but the method I tried doesn't work; each time a new trigger is setup it wipes out the old one. Is there a way to set up 2 triggers?
Thank you very much,
Matt

Save_Image_Matt_Trig.vi ‏46 KB

Left from the loop there's an "Array Subset" vi because I didn't use the first two pictures of the ring.
So you can forget about it and wire the ring directly to the "For Loop".
You can see the Ring as an array of images, so basically you don't need any VI to retrieve an image from the ring, just an "Index array" will do.
Wire the output of the "Index array" to an image control.
This is of course if you first fill the ring and then process it.
If you want live images, then you can use the vi you're using to extract an image from the buffer but I understood that you want to acquire images as fast as possible and process them afterwards.
Correct? Yes, then you don't need the "IMAQ Extract Buffer" vi.
And yes, you can remove everything from the loop, just check if the number of frames is reached.
When all frames are acquired, quit the loop and process the ring buffer.
I checked your code again, and observed that you do nothing with the ring buffer
You build it up in the first For loop and delete it at the end of the code but never used it in the loop
I attach a larger view of the acquisition loop, so that you can have a better idea of the whole ring stuff.
I have a shift register for the ring so that all states can access it.
The state "Save all images" loops through the array, to save the images one by one.
I'm sorry I can't post the complete vi, it's way too large and contains lots of sub vi's to analyse the images and handle the I/O toward the process line.

Image Files and the databse

In the planning phase of an opensource project Im concidering database issues/options. The application to be developed makes great use of a database/ the target is mySql however Im planning on making the application work with various databases ( if possible of course) Another thing Im going t try to do is integerate a porting tool, such that data from database can be exported from one database, and imported into another, any suggestions on this more than welcome, My question though relates to images and the database. While I could simply use path strings in a database to external files, this is not desirble. Is Knowing little on this subject, is there a common format for how images are stored. I have heard of BLOBS and assume this is what I should use Im not familiar with them. Is this the route to go?? Most other data is numbers and text which could easily be converted to xml and then back to a database, but how to handle BLOBS? is there anything in the JDBC spec the handles the, inconsistencies between RDBMS's handling of BLOBS??
Any comments suggestions more than welcome. Ill kick around some possible solutions in the meantime and probably post them here for feedback.
Thanks for the time
J.Prisco

Hi,
I would certainly like to give my opinion. Yes, normally BLOB datatype is intended to store image data types. But they are not supported by some databases. The BLOB type has got jdbc support. You can access the materials from that field using getBlob() function in ResultSet.. In SQLServer7 there is no native support for CLOB/BLOB data types, but if the field is Image or so getBlob() can be used to retrieve the image object as a BLOB..
For copying you can use the getBlob()(resultSet) and setBlob()(PreparedStatement) methods.. For that you need a good driver that has implemented these.. If the drivers have'nt implemented these features you will have to use streams to get data from one table and set data to another table..
Please let me know your comments..
regards Stallon

Question re: multiple wireless devices and the Duel Band Airport Extreme

I recently purchased the new duel-band Airport Extreme. Prior to that I had the single band Airport Extreme. I’m a bit confused about how it works and have spent a good bit of time trying to find the answers on the web, but nothing really addresses my specific question so I’m coming to the experts.
I have a number of wireless devices throughout my house… a couple of Roku boxes, two iPads, two iPods running Pandora, a MacBook and an older model Apple TV etc.
Both of the iPods are 802.11 G. The iPads can handle N.
One Roku is 802.11 G and the other can handle N.
I am confused about configuring the Airport Extreme. It’s my understanding that if I just go with the basic setup of creating a network and selecting Automatic for the Radio Mode and Channel that all of my devices will automatically connect to the most appropriate band for the best throughput for that particular device.
I have tried configuring the Airport Extreme as I mentioned above, as well as setting it up with the 5GHz Network Name field selected. I gave this a different name so I would be able to distinguish between the two networks when selecting one on my iPad. I will refer to the fist configuration as Setup A and the second (naming the 5 GHZ Network ) as Setup B.
When I use Setup A all of my devices show one available network to connect to. I select that network and all is well.
When I use Setup B the devices show two available networks, the original and the one I named on the 5GHz Network Name Filed.
My iPod’s ( 802.11 G ) only display the name of the first network, but my iPad’s show both, and I can select either. The signal strength on the 5GHz channel only dislplays two bars on the signal strength indicator icon, but the other network is full bars.
When I use Setup A, is my iPad, Roku and MacBook automatically selecting the 5GHz AND the N connection? How do I know that it’s not using the G band? Is it best to just go with the automatic settings and trust that I’m getting the best connections? How does it know weather to connect to the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. What determines that ?
Sorry for the rambling questions but the more I think about it the more confused I get about all of the possible combinations of connectivity possibilities.
I appreciate any attempts at making this a “teachable moment” for me :- )
Thanks !
Chuck

Welcome to the discussion area!
The signal strength on the 5GHz channel only dislplays two bars on the signal strength indicator icon, but the other network is full bars.
Not surprising, because the much higher frequency 5 GHz signals are absorbed much more quickly by any obstructions than 2.4 GHz signals. Everything is a trade off. In return for higher speeds, you must give up distance capability and penetration power with 5 GHz. It's not exactly true that you have to have a line-of-sight arrangement between the router and computer with 5 GHz, but many users are finding that to be the case for good, reliable performance.
How does it know weather to connect to the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. What determines that ?
The signal strength. If your computer is capable of connecting at both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, it will choose the band with the higher signal strength...assuming that both bands have the same network name. The only way you can "force" a device to connect to the 5 GHz band is set it up with a different name and point your computer to that specific network.
For most users, the way to go is setup both bands with the same wireless network name and let devices connect to the strongest signal automatically.

How to Batch process a .jpg into multiple image sizes and colour modes

Hi,
I am needing to find an action or script that when run on a batch of Jpgs will open them up run a few actions and save them as 4 different files as follows
start file:
image.jpg
end result:
image_RGB_300dpi.jpg
image_RGB_72dpi.jpg
image_CMYK_300dpi.jpg
image_CMYK_72dpi.jpg
At present I have 4 separate actions set up do do this so I am running the batch process 4 times to get this result, is it possible to combine multiple actions into a single batch process?
thanks for any help on this one.
