OSD Image Distribution Issue

We are running SCCM 2012 SP1 with CU4. When I add/import an OSD image into SCCM, it automatically copies the entire 10GB image into the "SCCMContentLib" folder on the main site server which I do not want.
This causes us to then essentially have two copies of this large WIM file on the main site server (once in the "Data Source" location and again in the "SCCMContentLib" folder). Since the main site server is NOT used to pull down
the images, I don't want to store it twice like this.
Is there any way to have it NOT store the WIM file in the "SCCMContentLib" folder on the main site server?
Thanks in advance!

What structure do you have? CAS, primary sites, secondary sites etc.
Assuming a single primary site then short answer - no. I don't believe this to be possible, you will always have a copy on your 'main' site server as well as on your DP. If they are the same server then you're stuck with 2 copies.
However depending on your OS level, if you've server 2012 then you could check out using de-duplication to bring down your disk utilisation. Check out this blog post from Rob Marshall - http://wmug.co.uk/wmug/b/r0b/archive/2014/02/21/windows-2012-server-deduplication-and-configmgr-2012.aspx

Image quality issues in PS - word to PDF

Hi,
I am having major image quality issues when trying to make my word document a clean, clear PDF. Images become distorted. Borders for tables and text that are equal px size look like they are different sizes throughout the document.
I have searched the internet, read help, and tried many different things:
Word 2007 - Changed image %, image size, export options, adjusted px for borders, used different styles
Acrobat 9 Pro - Changed import settings, import options, print options, tried press quality, high quality, etc.
Photoshop CS4 - Changed ppx, file format, compression options
What can I do to get a clean, clear PDF file with the images and borders preserved?
Thank you.

In converting a MS Office file to PDF, Photoshop cannot help in any way and will likely cause more harm as it may rasterize vector data. Expect your ideal answer in the Acrobat forum.

More Image/stylesheet issues

Hello again,
Just wondering if anyone could give me some quick style sheet issues, have an img class that looks a little something like this:
img {
border: 5px solid #adadad ! important ;
padding: 5px ! important ;
margin: 4px, 4px, 4px, 4px ! important ;
-moz-border-radius: 15px;
-webkit-border-radius: 15px;
border-radius: 15px;
Which works like magic for getting me a nice curved border in most modern browsers.
Now there are one or two small icon type images that I need to not have a border as they are actually within the text - can anyone think of a way of setting up RH9 so that I can have an image that doesn't follow these styles?
I am sure it will be to do with over riding these styles but not sure how to do this because it is not like I am selecting a style for the image files - they are just getting their styles from the img selector...
Anyone got any suggestions?
much 'preciated.

Hi Willam
I'm a bit confused by what you suggested. You seem to be implying that this won't work and the image paths will break. But I've not found this to be the case. I just tested by creating an image and later creating some nested subfolders and using the variable in topics in each of the subfolders. I then generated WebHelp and viewed and I had no broken images at all. RoboHelp was able to manage the relative pathing to the image without issue.
Have you noticed otherwise?
I'm a believe in erring on the side of caution, but it would seem that (for me anyway) the worry is unfounded.
Cheers... Rick

Please help out resolve this issuse.
Thanks in advance

The only work around that I found was to rename the image file. Once renaming occurred, the image file when updated was rendered correctly. I have read an earlier bug report that claimed this was fixed. I do not believe it to be so. If anyone has any additional information please present it.

Image Quality issue with script

So I recently wrote a simple script to output an image at a bunch of different resolutions. However, I am running into an image quality issue that I don't run into when I do the same thing manually.
Here is an example image showcasing the image: http://terminalvelocity.ca/temp/notworking.jpg
As you can see along the top of the model's forhead there is destinct color fragmentation. Which seems very strange.
Here is the script, it is pretty simple, it asks for a few simple config options. (the above image was created using default settings). It then figures out the correct ratios and loops through doing each resize, saving the image, then reverting the history so each iteration uses the original image data and not the resized version:
doc = app.activeDocument;
openFilePath = Folder.selectDialog ("Where do you want the images to be saved?");
maxSize = Number(prompt("What would you like to be the maximum length of the long edge? (Image is never upsized) (pixels)", 2800));
minSize = Number(prompt("What would you like to be the minimum length of the long edge? (pixels)", 100));
gap = Number(prompt("How much smaller should each image be? (pixels)", 100));
quality = Number(prompt("What quality would you like the JPG exported as (0-12)", 10));
var size;
var primary;
var secondary;
if(doc.width > doc.height){
          primary = doc.width;
          secondary = doc.height;
}else{
          primary = doc.height;
          secondary = doc.width;
var ratio = secondary/primary;
var size = [];
for(var i = maxSize;i>minSize;i-=gap){
          var p = i
          var s = i * ratio;
          size.push([p,s]);
var w;
var h;
var n;
for(var i in size){
          if(doc.width > doc.height){
                    w = n = size[i][0];
                    h = size[i][1];
          }else{
                    w = size[i][1];
                    n= h = size[i][0];
          if(doc.width >= w && doc.height >= h){
                    doc.resizeImage(w,h,null,ResampleMethod.BICUBICSHARPER);
                    jpgFile = new File(openFilePath+"/"+n+".jpeg" )
                    jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions()
                    jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = false
                    jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions =
                    FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE
                    jpgSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE
                    jpgSaveOptions.quality = quality
                    app.activeDocument.saveAs(jpgFile, jpgSaveOptions, true,Extension.LOWERCASE);
                    doc.activeHistoryState = doc.historyStates[doc.historyStates.length-2];
In comparison, here is an example of an image of the exact same resolution that does not exhibit this issue at all:
The steps taken to save this image were as follows: http://photography.terminalvelocity.ca/content/images/2012/avery_konrad_6/horizontal/1500. jpg
Image > Resize > Bicubic Sharper (1500px);
Save For Web
     Jpeg
     Quality 75
     Optimzed: true
     Progressive: false
     Blur: 0
     Convert to sRGB: true
Anyway, as you can see, The manually exported image does not have any of the quality issues that are present within the scripted image. I am pretty new to photoshop scriping so am assuming it has something to do with me missing some sort of option in the save settings. Any help would be swell.
Also note, this doesn't occur on all images, I usually don't see an issue when using the script, however, something about the tones of this particular photo make it really obvious.
I am using the latest version of Photoshop CS6 (creative cloud) on Max OSX
thanks so much!

I'm on windows find the bicubicsharper does not work well it the image being resized has been highly sharpened all ready. Because of my Photoshop preferences I had to make minor modification to your script. I'm also a bit colorblind so i don't see many color issues so I include a screen capture if what windows does with your image and script.

Bizarre Lightroom image quality issue

I have a weird image quality issue with Lightroom, when opening RAW files (haven't tried it with any other file format, admittedly).
Here's an example of how the image appears in Lightroom. As an experiment, I exported the image as a TIFF and opened it in Gimp to see if it was just down to a display issue, but the exported TIFF showed the same quality issues as Lightroom. Aside from exporting as a TIFF (and then saving as a Jpeg), this image is SOOC:
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/swisstony10/4912360565/" title="IMG_4134 by swisstony10, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4093/4912360565_5891c0160f.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="IMG_4134" /></a>
If I open the same image in Canon's own DPP software, this image quality issue does not occur, so I know that it's not an issue with the memory card, the camera, or my laptop's monitor. The SOOC image from DPP (exported as a Jpeg) looks like this:
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/swisstony10/4912362053/" title="IMG_4134b by swisstony10, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4116/4912362053_1ca92078c9.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="IMG_4134b" /></a>
Has anybody else experienced this, and if so, is there a fix? (there had better be - I'm not going to be overly chuffed if my expensive Adobe software is being outperformed by the free stuff.. )
Russ.

This is proving to be an extremely helpful forum!
Thanks for the advice on embedding my calibrated colour space - I don't very often send files anywhere other than my own home network (where all the monitors are calibrated), and when I do upload any to Flickr, it's never caused a problem in the past (and if I get anything printed by a lab, I use their ICC profile). I'll definitely keep that all in mind though..
Here's the original RAW file of the image I used as the example https://www.yousendit.com/download/aHlUa3ZONmNFd2Z2Wmc9PQ - I hope that helps someone to shed some light on what's going wrong. From what you've said though, it does look as if this is just an extreme example of something that Lightroom isn't very good at doing.
As I said in my original post, it'll be a bit disappointing if that's the case though, because a fair amount of the pictures I take tend to be of bands playing in what are, let's face it, diabolical conditions for photography. (At the festival I was attending at the weekend for example, all of the photographers - even the seasoned pros - were moaning about how awful the lighting was in the Big Top, and how much it sucked to try and get a decent picture there, as opposed to the main stage where everybody wasn't completely backlit by either red or purple lights. I appreciate that Lightroom is a much more powerful tool than Canon's DPP - the noise reduction controls on their own completely rock - but I must admit I'm a bit surprised that it can't handle highlights terribly well...

Wacky image sequence issue - flickers

Hi guys,
I've created a simple 2 image sequence I wanted to play through at the top of my DPS document - but when I preview the article (on both desktop, iphone and ipad) the image sequence fails..
I took a quick screencap to show what Im going.

Any advice?

For a two-image effect, I would use a slideshow instead of an image sequence. Not sure what's causing the flicker.

Image Persistence - Image Retention issues - iMac

Hello everyone. When is Apple going to fix all the image retention issues, or as Apple would call it image persistence? I find it to be horrendous that Apple is calling this "normal". There is nothing normal about having an image ghosted or stuck on your display. I hope Apple gets with LG on this and fixes these issues because a fix is long overdue. This has been plaguing iMacs for years now. I have had 2 iMacs in a row that have had this issue straight out of the box. Can anyone tell me why some IPS displays do this and others do not? Is this because Apple is buying junk from LG?

Wtgcreator.exe not a valid OSD image

SCCM 2012 R2
I have ha package for WTG that uses wtgcreator.exe (wtgcreator.exe /wim:WTG002.wim) It will not work after I created a new image with MDT 2013 and install all windows updates, old images still work.
I don’t know if wtgcreator doesent work with OS version 6.3.9600.17415? New images have OS version 6.3.9600.17415 and the old image have 6.3.9600.17056
If I copy the wim and wtgcreator to my local computer and start wtgcreator and point to the wim I get “The image you’ve chosen is not a valid Operating System Deployment (OSD) image. If I start pwcreator.exe and point to the same image I don’t get any problem,
only with wtgcreator. I take wtgcreator from the SCCM server, fileversion 5.0.7958.100 2013-09-11.
I can deploy the same image with a task sequence in SCCM but not with wtgcreator.

Hi,
The WTGCreator needs a .WIM file which is created as a Prestage Media in the SCCM Admin Console, have you done that? I use a Windows 8.1 image created with MDT 2013 which I have included in my Prestage media and it works great.
If you try to use the MDT image straight off you will get an error message like the one you are seeing.
Could that be the case?

Image burn issue

Hi all, I am having the image burn issue on my sony vaio duo 11 like. Please check the following link for the images. In my case the burn is visible when the background is grey and I work in the desktop mode for some time. I request your feedback and help in solving this issue. http://bit.ly/11FTG08 [with comments] See the bottom. You can see Windows notification area there   You can clearly see a white navigation bar of google chrome which is opened in the desktop mode
  I have taken all of these pictures with my mobile camera which is 3 years old. Otherwise the imageburn is very clear and distinct to me. Best regards,Naveen.

kamesh419,
This is working as intended. It is the transparent function of Aero. If the user switches back to desktop view, you can see some of the Start Menu background. This is not a burn in issue.
If you want you can turn off Aero and the transparent image will go away both in the Start Menu and also from the Desktop view.
Turn off Aero
1)      Go to the Start Menu
2)      Type Computer
3)      Right click on Computer and select properties
4)      Click on Advanced System settings
5)      Select Settings under Performance
6)      Select “Adjust for best performance”
7)      Click apply and ok.

Yes, I see that the image on your server itself is cut in half. Maybe a timeout issue when you're uploading from Dreamweaver. Try Filezilla. Has a better timeout for ECONN uploads.
To add to John's solution, if a normal upload in Filezilla doesn't work, try doing an ASCII mode upload in Filezilla. This has proven to be a common fix to most image upload issues.
Also, I'd recommend you normalize your filename - use lowercase only and please please please replace spaces with underscores _ or hyphens -

X1 Carbon SCCM OSD "Incorrect Hash" Issues

Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone else has come across any problems with Operating System Deployment via SCCM with the X1 Carbon. In particular a reoccouring "Incorrect Hash" problem on various packages (which work fine with other models).
I've tried the old "Update Distribution Point" fix which is then allowing the OSD to move to another package which it then fails on again.
I changed the DP behaviour to access directly rather than cache the packages first and this seemed to allow the OSD to progress further but now I'm getting failures on the "Gather" from the MDT Toolkit.
I'm just having a bit of a head+wall moment with this one and of course it's for the IT Director so I need it to be perfect.
All help appreciated...
Chris.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you very much for posting this. We were seeing a lot of issues with the X1 Carbon when the USB Ethernet Dongle was plugged into the right side USB 3.0 port. Not oly the "incorrect Hash" issue, but also problems with OSD task sequence steps failing for all sorts of strange reasons.
After reading your post we too switched to using the dongle on the left side USB 2.0 port, and the problems have cleared up.
Great fix, thanks!
Current Laptop: X1 Carbon

Connectivity issues - Bridge CC to Photoshop CC - Image Processor issues.

Hi guys.
I'm having issues with Image Processor between Bridge CC and Photoshop CC. I can see in the forums that others are having issues that are close to mine but not the same. I can still see my image processor tab in my Tools menu.
The problem is that I can click the Image Processor tab and it will bring Photoshop CC to the front of all windows, act like its loading, and then nothing happens from there. The run script box doesn't come up, nothing opens.
I was wondering if anyone else has come across this and if so how you fixed it.
Thank you

I'm having the same result when I run image processor from Bridge. Image processor looks like it's about to open, the wait cursor displays (Photoshop CC will open if it's closed), but then when focus switches to Photoshop, nothing happens.
A few months ago when I tried to upgrade to PS CC 2014 I had the same problem, which was only fixed when I removed all Adobe apps and re-installed CC and Bridge with no PS CC 2014. This might fix your problem if you re-install and only use a single version.
Currently I have both versions of Photoshop installed again as I need the linked smart object functionality of 2014 but I also need my library of extensions in Photoshop CC. (Really frustrating switch to HTML5 only, by the way Adobe)
Does anyone know if there is any way to have both versions of Photoshop installed AND have scripts fire off from Bridge?

.gif animations not working and image thumbnail issues

Hello,
I hope that someone can help me out.
I have animated .gif images on my iWeb site and they just recently stopped working, and I cant figure it out.
These are my issues:
Recently iWeb wont show my animated .gifs as they should. (I have found that this still kind of works in IE, but not FF or Safari) In iWeb my .gifs show as a video clip, but once I publish the site, it only shows up as a single image and not an animation. Also the options on my site that allow users to switch back and forth between showing the miniature thumb nails of my images for the slideshow and not showing them do not show up all the time. The .gifs are also not showing up inside the miniature thumbnails as well.
Also note: Those miniature little thumbnails show up very fuzzy as well. This doesn't seem like it should be like that. Am I over looking something important?
Not sure what I have to do to fix these issues. I have looked to see if I am missing an update or something, but it appears that I am up to date.
Can anyone help me out?

Hi Neil,
I have the same problem.
I created a short title animation with EDGE, you can download it here : https://creative.adobe.com/share/829a6ca9-7f26-4ee5-8120-a5da388e3c33
Once in inDesign, I create a web content overlay that I link to my html animation.
I turn ON auto play and set a delay of 0.25 sec. The article that contains the animation is the third of my folio.
If I preview the article ONLY, the animation fires correctly however if I preview the whole folio, the title appears but with no animation what so ever.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
J.
