Organize image files by resolution

Hello - Would like to script something to separate hi res and low res images that reside in the same folder, by either moving one or the other to another folder or deleting the lo res altogether. This should be a one time operation of a several hundred files (possibly over a thousand), so apple or java would work.
I have several applescripts to identify the properties of a file, but it is a slow process doing one at a time and then having to find/delete the fie. UGHH.

What version of Photoshop are you using? There are several ways to automate sorting the files. If you already have Exiftools installed I would start there. If you are willing to learn it's command line syntax I would still recommend that approach.
If not I would use either a Bridge or Photoshop script depending on which version of Photoshop you are using.

  • How can I organize my files in files panel;images, videos etc?

    I am begining to have a lot of files in my files panel. I have a folder for images but when I put the images there dreamweaver does not know where to find them, even though I specified this when setting up.  I am now begining to get a lot of videos and would like to organize the files a lot better. any ideas?  thanks

    If you already have links to your images and videos, etc., and you want to rearrange them, do it in your Files Panel, not your computer file manager system. Most of your links will remain appropriate, even if you make (in the Files Panel) new folders to store different types of files in. You can drag and organize to your heart's content in the Files Panel.
    You will still want to check your links, as Gary states, but the actual reorganizing...when done with already linked files in the Files Panel...will make the checking less painful and require fewer re-linkings.
    In fact, the only html file that actually NEEDS to remain at the root level is the index.html default file. You can safely store the rest in subfolders. If you have many, many pages, you might consider organizing them into folders and adding index.html pages to each subfolder. Not a copy of your main index file, of course, but 'departmental' default files. That system will also make applying javascript "breadcrumbs," such as those of Kaosweaver, quite simple, as it uses index.html filenames for breadcrumbs.
    You will want to carefully keep files that are auxiliary to Flash and Video files with their Flash and Video files, and be sure to test the links and locations of those files thoroughly. But there's no real reason you can't move them.

  • I am trying to organize a zip file with a bunch of links and files. But when I drag an image file to a folder, it always "Snaps to grid" instead of just landing where I put it.

    I am trying to organize a zip file with a bunch of links and files. But when I drag an image file to a folder, it always "Snaps to grid" instead of just landing where I put it. All of the files are going into the same zip file but I want them visually in the space that I put them and not at the bottom of the snap to grid folder location they are looking like.  I am trying to  drag and drop files in groups so that I can group them for now, but image files always do their own "sort by" when I drag them from my web pages. Links don't do it though.  I tried resetting the folder, and deleting the DS files. No luck.

  • Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution)   Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

    Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution)   Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

    You're welcome, and thank you for the reply.
    2) Yesterday I made the subclips with the In-Out Points and Command-U, the benefit is that I've seen the clip before naming it. Now I'm using markers, it's benefit is that I can write comment and (the later) clip name at once, the drawback is that I have to view to the next shot's beginning before knowing what the shot contains.
    But now I found out that I can reconnect my clips independently to the format I converted the master clip to. I reconnected the media to the original AVI file and it worked, too! The more I work with, the more I'm sold on it... - although it doesn't seem to be able to read and use the date information within the DV AVI.
    1) Ok, I tried something similar within FCE. Just worked, but the file size still remains. Which codec settings should I use? Is the export to DV in MOV with a quality of 75% acceptable for both file size and quality? Or would be encoding as H.264 with best quality an option for archiving, knowing that I have to convert it back to DV if I (maybe) wan't to use it for editing later? Or anything else?
    Thank's in advance again,

  • Avi file does not have the same resolution as image file?

    I'm using LabView with an IEEE-1394 camera and I set up the camera to record at a resolution of 1280 x 960 and can snap images and save them at that resolution from Measurement and Automation Explorer, but when I record avis using LabView, they have a resolution of 720 x 480 even though the images being written to the avi are 1280 x 960. I have had this same problem trying to make new videos from the original in which I extract a part of the image and write it to a new avi file... even though the extracted image is something like 620 x 300, when I play the avi (or get avi info), it says the avi has resolution of 720 x 480. I've tried creating an IMAQ, then using the set image size sub-VI to set the image to the size I want and the image shows up with the right resolution but the resulting avi has the wrong resolution, so my sub-videos are distorted. Is there some way to set the resolution of the avi other than by writing an image of that resolution? I'm using the compression filter DV Video Encoder... would that make any difference?
    Thanks!
    Kelly

    Hey Kelly,
    As far as the different codecs that are available, it all depends on what type of filter you want to use. They vary so widely that it is hard to say that one is better than another. Also, it depends on what type of compression that you want to use will also determine which codec you will want. Some use lossy compression and some use lossless compression. With lossy, you will lose some data when it compresses, but lossless will not. Lossless on the other hand will produce large data files, as it can only compress a certain amount without losing data.
    One thing that you might want to consider is using some of the Vision functions to track changes in pixel values from one image to the next. There are a lot of different processing that you can do on your images before you store them to file by using the NI Vision functions. Other than that, you might have to just play around with the different codecs to find which one will work best for you.
    Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. Thanks, and have a great day.

    DJ L.

  • How do I re-organize my lightroom image files

    I realize that this may be covered in similar discussions, but nothing I've been able to find is exactly the same as my issue, so I'll try a new thread:
    I'm on an Imac running latest versions of everything.  I copy my images from the camera card to a hard drive folder (When this folder reaches 4gb, I create a backup DVD and and start a new folder).  I move the images from the internal hard drive into Lightroom. (Approx. 10,000 images)
    As the internal HD fills, I move the oldest original image files to external drives.  These drives are also now filled, so I have purchased a 2Terrabyte LaCie Raid.  This gives me 1TB of usable and will hold everything that is now on the internal and the externals. I will use the old externals for archived images in an off site location.
    I would like to move everything that is image related to the new Hard drive.  I will keep the Lightroom program files on the internal drive, but all the new and old images and their associated (sidecar) files I would like to move to the new drive.
    What is the best way to accomplish this.
    Thank you
    Steve

    In addition to Pete's excellent help, it might help to, before you move your files, right (or control) click on one of your highest level folders, and select "Add Parent Folder". In a typical folder structure, this will add a single top level folder that all your folders sit inside. Then quit Lightroom, move your images folder in its entirety in Finder/Explorer and then reopen Lightroom. Now right (or control click) on the missing folder and relocate the missing folder. This will save a lot of relocating. Also check out this article by Forum host Ian Lyons.

  • Firefox mage quality and resolution was superb when I used XP and Vista. Now that I have Windows 7, however (with the Firefox 3.6.3 version), the image quality and resolution is poor. Please help me!

    I am using the Firefox 3.6.3 version with my new Windows 7 operating system. When I used all the previous Firefox versions in my XP and Vista operating systems, image quality and resolution was excellent! However, now that I have upgraded to Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6.3, the image quality and resolution is poor (unacceptable for downloading purposes).
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I first activated my new computer and installed the Firefox 3.6.3.

    All my images are pixelated in firefox 3.6.3
    http://www.dcgdcreative.com
    Not only on my site but on most sites I view.
    The issue is not solved by resetting the zoom text view (ctrl+0)
    The issue is not resolved by starting in safemode with add-ons disabled
    The problem seems to only affect .jpeg files and only on Windows 7 on my desktop; as I have viewed several sites using windows XP with my laptop, no issues.
    I had the same issue with IE8 and was able to fix the problem with by setting up the compatibility view for all sites. Issue fixed no problems at all. But nothing similar for firefox?
    Whats the deal?

  • Is there a way to save an image file as a jpeg and add -web or -print to the file name?

    I am trying to find a way to save my image file as a jpeg and add -web or -print to the existing file name.  This way I can easily see which files are lower resolution for web posting or high resolution for printing.

    Jason,
    I helped somebody do a very similar thing about a week ago.
    The trick is to use the Batch command's ability to construct a file name.
    Tell the batch to append, e.g. "-x" without quotes, to the name of each saved file.
    The batch runs an Action which does a save as JPEG, resize image, add logo, save as JPEG, then close document.
    The output is "<document name>-x.jpg" and "<document name>-x-x.jpeg".
    Then use Windows Explorer to rename "*-x-x.jpg" to "*-print.jpg".
    Then rename "*-x.jpg" to "*-web.jpg".
    See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1038992?start=32
    The name construction that I used there was just an "x" appended to the document name. Use whatever you like. Also juliew subsequently referred to the method as a "double-batch" run, although it is not. One run of the batch will output two JPEGs for each input document.
    I hope the disagreements in that thread don't cause too much disruption.
    If you want, the Batch command itself can be recorded in another Action which would store the parameters of the batch, then you could run that Action anytime without having to set up the details of the batch each time. It would always output to one specific folder, though.

  • Is there a way to extract an image file metadata?

    I know this isn't specific to PS but hope there's an answer here.
    I'm transcribing some of the metadata from image files to build a simple catalog.  Included are things like dimensions, resolution, and photo date.  Is there a way to extract this data other than manually?
    Thanks

  • Need advice on how to import / store existing image files into LR etc.

    Hi,
    I am just beginning to use LR 2.3 and I want to start correctly....
    I have been pondering how to begin and I was hoping some of you might point me in the right direction.
    1. I have all of my RAW files on my Mac's desktop and they are organized at the top level by each of the 2 cameras they were taken with and then the sub folders of each organized chronologically with each subfolder titled by the location or subject of the images matter within each folder.
    I want to import these into LightRoom 2.3 in a manner which will preserve this taxonomy. I also want to convert these RAW images into DNG files on import. How do I set up LR2 to do this?
    2. I want the Lightroom files and the image files to live on my external Caldigit eSATA VR drive. This drive is actually 2 disks set to mirror as hardware RAID 1 so it is essence its own backup if one disk dies. How do I point LR to create and store the DNG files on this external drive and then set LR2 to back up so that the LR datafiles also live there? Would you say this is a good way to set this up or should the LR datafiles ( previews etc. live with LR on the OS drive??
    Is RAID 1 as safe as backing up to 2 different HD's?
    Is it best to convert to DNG ( I like the fact that any LR image data is stored with the DNG and is not a sidecar file which could get seperated) or convert to DNG with orginal RAW file incorporated? How massive do these get?
    Is it best to use LR2's backup utility and exclude the LR data from the Time Machine backup?
    Sory for the long question...

    >1. I have all of my RAW files on my Mac's desktop and they are organized at the top level by each of the 2 cameras they were taken with and then the sub folders of each organized chronologically with each subfolder titled by the location or subject of the images matter within each folder.

    On the Import Photos Screen, pick "Copy photos as Digital Negative(DNG) and add to catalog" from File Handling drop-down at top of screen.
    If your photos are organised as:
    Photos - Camera 1 ...
    - Camera 2 ...
    then Lightroom will reflect that folder view in its Folders panel. Also, when converting to DNG you get to choose destination folder (answers part of your question 2) and multiple organisation choices including "Organize by Original Folder"
    (Take a look at Chapter 4 of the help file for more information: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/2.0/lightroom_2_help.pdf)
    2. I want the Lightoom files and the image files....
    Create your catalog on that drive. Move your images to that drive before importing them, and when converting to DNG on import, choose a folder on that drive as destination on import screen.
    >Is RAID 1 as safe as backing up to 2 different HD's?
    No. RAID 1 is a simple mirror of 1 drive on another; so if you delete a file on drive, it is also deleted from both drives. Likewise, if a file is corrupted on one drive it will also be corrupted on the mirror. RAID 1 is good as a safeguard against single-drive failure; your data will be available from the remaining drive, but it is not a safeguard against user error or file corruption.

  • How can you make a pixlated image a higher resolution in Photoshop CC? i have tryed image size but it doesnt seem to work someone please help

    As you can see in the screenshot here ----> Gyazo - b048a0770df6264af1ff398951acd4f9.png I have typed a higher resolution but when I try the pixles never seen to ever go away and it increases the file size every time, is there an easier way? PS: if another adobe cc software is needed to complete this task I have every one so it doesn't have to only be in Photoshop.

    The image has been reduced in size and over sharpened to the point that jaggies artifacts abound.  You will not be happy with the result of interpolate the images up in size increase the number of pixels..   You need to find the original image file from the camera.

  • How to embed/show an image file (.jpeg or .jpg or .png) into a Oracle 10g report file (.rdf)

    Hi All,
    Morning , have an urgent requirement and need some guidance regards this.
    we are currently having an existing Oracle 10g reports file (.rdf)  lets say with name : Testing1.rdf .
    The report output is getting generated in a pdf format . it opens up in a pdf format..
    Now we want to embed an image file lets say : (logo.jpeg or logo.gif  ) into the report output..at run time the image from the image file should show up in the report output.
    Could someone please help as to how this could be achieved..and what approach we could follow for this...
    with regards
    Thanks as always !!

    Hi All,
    Morning ...just a follow up question to this original post : embedding the image files at runtime into an Oracle Report..
    We were able to achieve this by entering the folder location where the image files are place on the server in the REPORTS_PATH env variable in the report.sh file.
    Then we update this filename like file1.jpg into a table and from there we fetch this in the Oracle Reports data model directly.
    for The layout field we select the option as Image.
    All this works fine..
    Issue : The resolution of the embedded image in the generated report output is very low ...means the image appears there but it is not very clearly visible ..is there any way we could improve the IMAGE RESOLUTION in the report output....?????
    With regards

  • Two step import, downsizing image file sizes and/or keeping copies?

    hi all,
    leonie was kind enough on another thread to suggest a two step import from the iphone in order to make sure that there is no accidental deletion or data loss. my understanding (i'm repeating it here myself in case i am misunderstanding) is that this routine involves 1. importing images into Aperture via the conventional import method and then 2. backing up to iTunes (to save the images) and 3. verifying (visually i think) that the images are in the Aperture database and then if so allow Aperture to delete all the images from the iPhone.
    this seems to make sense to me but i realized i had a couple of questions about general "photo hygiene" related to this kind of thing.
    1. is there some way to downsize file size after images are imported into Aperture? i take a ton of photos and only some are important to keep at a high resolution and i feel like i am stuck between having a huge Aperture database cluttered with lots of photos at high resolution /or/ turning down the file size and finding that i have an important image that is at a low resolution because i forgot to turn up the file size (i think these are in settings somewhere in my phone) before i took the photo or only realized later that it was important to have this image at higher resolution. if i could downsize while thinking about it in Aperture this seems like it would work.
    2. does anyone keep an external copy of their images outside of the Aperture database?
    thanks

    hi terence,
    thank you.
    so can i ask if anyone is using an iphone and/or what setting(s) and/or resolution folks are using?
    i guess i have a bit of a dilemma in that i take a ton of photos and i only use one at a high resolution while the others can be something as insignificant as a visual note to myself. and it kind of kills me that these could be 1.2 MB in that i have a lot of them. i sort of wish there was a way to downsample imagery since a lot of these are not so important.
    anyway. yeah i guess i was wondering if folks do a referenced library or keep an extra copy as a backup (i guess i am 'embedding' images in the library but i forget what i call this in aperture) - and i have started to wonder if there is some utility to doing a referenced library or keeping a backup but this seems like overkill while at the same time a referenced library would allow me the ability to downsample images from what i can tell but i am just guessing here since i haven't tried this method.
    thanks.

  • How to examine pdf for image file formats, OCR, and layers

    Hi,
    I have a question about how to find out specific features of a pdf.  I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro for windows.
    With any given PDF, I am looking to find out:
    a]  The specs of any image files used  to create the pdf (i.e., if the pdf is made up of text pages with image objects on top of them, are those image objects JPGs?  TIFFS?  What resolution are they? Are they compressed?)
    b]  Does this PDF have OCR already embedded in it?
    c]  Does this PDF have multiple layers?
    with a] -- file format is perhaps the most important, resolution and compression being second most
    with c] -- is there an easy way to see the layers, visually, on the page images?
    What is a smiple way to find out this information?
    I've poked around a bit in the "Examine Document" function, and various checks in "Preflight," as well as the help manual, and have found bits and pieces that look like some of what I'm looking for, but nothing simple or conclusive yet.
    Any help or advice would be wonderful!  I just want a simple way to be able to see what my PDF is made out of, in terms of image files, OCR, and layers.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Preflight is inded the best way to do this operation. You may have to read a bit to figure out what you are looking at, but that is the right route to take.
