Open random image file with automator

I would like to open a random file from a folder in Preview.
I've looked into the finder and photo presets but can't figure a way out. Is there a script I can run or have I just missed something?
What I'm basically looking to do is for Automator to look within a folder and open an image in it's default application.

Hi Niel,
I've still got the same issue.

The Mk III requires an updated version of Camera RAw, so run Help --> Updates and install it.

Publisher hangs when I try to open an image file

Publisher hangs when I try to open an image file from:
right-click on image->Change Picture->Change Picture
The image is on my hard drive.
It also happens with powerpoint

Few Questions:
a. What version of publisher/PowerPoint are you using ?
b. Are you able to insert this image through Insert -> Image ? Image itself could be corrupt. Try to open it with some other editor ?

Image files with large pixel dimensions display out of focus in a Bridge viewer?

I Create image files with pixel dimensions 2048x1365. When I display these files from Bridge on my Mac, either by pressing the space bar or in a slideshow, the images are out of focus. If I left click or click/hold and move the images slightly on screen they display in sharp focus. Unfortunately, although landscape-orientation images display correctly with no change in position or size, portrait-orientation files are enlarged and display with top and bottom off the screen. The pixel dimensions of my monitor are 2450x1600 so, yes, if portrait images are displayed at 100% they should display off screen, but this does not excuse the out of focus display of landscape files on this large screen. Nor does this explain why the portrait files are out of focus when they fit on screen. When the same files open in a Camera Raw window they are in focus. When they open in Photoshop at 100% the files are in focus.

I can't open D7200 NEF file with Photoshop CS6. I checked the updates and there are no updates available. What do I do?

Hi,
I can't open D7200 NEF files with Photoshop CS6.I checked the updates and there are no updates available.What do I do?
Nitin

For the time being, shoot JPEG images. At this time there is no support for NEF files from the D7200 in any Adobe product. It was released at such a time that it wasn't included in the last Camera Raw update. And Lightroom hasn't been updated either. Consequently, there is no DNG converter available at this time. We will have to wait and see what programs will be able to accommodate the D7200 when Adobe releases updates or upgrades that support the camera.

If you get this error, it means that the password is accepted and the file is opened BUT the file is damaged or made wrong.

Opening disk image files in Windows?

Is there anything, free software or something like MacDrive (which I've never used) that will open disk image files, particularly encypted ones? I keep an encrypted disk image on my thumb drive with important information and I'd like to be able to open it in Windows. I recently came across the open-source TrueCrypt for Linux and Windows, but I would love some kind of software that would work on all three platforms, or at least OS X and Windows.
Thanks,
Alan

PGP works on the Mac. They currently do not have a working version for intel based Macs. Your profile indicates you have a PowerMac so you should be good to go. Download the free trial and check it out.

Suddenly cannot open an image file

PS 7 on a Vista machine with lots of RAM.
All has been working well for months and suddenly I cannot open any image file or start a new one. Tried re-installing from OEM disc and no improvement. Removed PS7 VIA the Windows utility and re-installed entire application from OEM disc with still no improvement.
When I try to open or start a new image the blue bar at the top of PS is illuminated, then I click on FILE and then on either NEW or OPEN. At that point everything stops. The drop down menus are grayed out and I cannot close the program by normal means. In order to close it I have to go to Task Manager and close the thing.
BTW: Sometimes Task Manager shows that the PS EXE application is using 44K and other times it shows about 7K.
Any suggestions will be happily recieved. Jack

I really hate to be a pain, but this has me stumped.
I tried to go to the preferences as you suggested but the same thing happens there. PS just freezes up and cannot be used at all. Even the red X at the top right of the screeen does nothing. I have to use Task Manager in order to quit the program.
I have removed PS from my machine VIA the Windows utility and reinstalled it several times with no improvement. I say that, but at one point I was able to open an image but when I tried to add another the system did the freeze up thing as above.
At some point I began to get sort of an error message during the PS bootup telling me that the PS interface font could not be loaded and that I should reboot my machine. I did that but there has been no change.
Frankly I cannot afford to buy time from Adobe to fix this so I am relying on you and the other folks on the board to hold my hand through this.
I thank you for your time and expertise.

Open Tiff image failed with imageio package

I'm trying to open tiff files with javax.imageio.ImageReader. When openning the image file, "bad.TIF" with the following codes, I got an error. However, I can open the image with "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" (WPFV). After I opened/saved as File "good.TIF" with WPFX, I can open the image with the progarm. Would someone please help?

Can you upload the bad tiff to an [image hosting site|http://www.imagehosting.com/]?
In general, when you set the input stream on a reader for a second time, it's a good idea to call reset.
errorPos = 2;
file = new File(testFile2);
tiffStream = ImageIO.createImageInputStream(file);
reader.reset(); <----- this line
reader.setInput(tiffStream);
tiffImage = reader.readAll(0, reader.getDefaultReadParam());I don't think that's the source of your problems though. You can add an IIOReadUpdateListener and a IIOReadWarningListener to the reader to see just how far it gets just before the exception is thrown. It may very well just be a badly saved tiff, or it could be a tiff image reader bug.

Photoshop CS3 shuts down after opening a PSD file with layers

Hello, I have met a problem with Photoshop CS3 (Windows XP SP2, no network printer) - after opening a PSD file with layers (saved with CS2) Photoshop shuts down. No error message.
Can some of you help me? (The only software that I have installed after Creative Suite CS3 is Corel X4. I have installed no upgrades of CS3.)

> I have installed no upgrades of CS3
You should!
Even if it doesn't help here you should.
