Problem of JPG converted from LR:(

Hi everyone,
Is anybody here a Canon DSLR user? I just got a problem when using LR to deal with RAW file.
Originally, I use DPP and Arcsoft (these two software is presented when u bought the camera) as "one RAW converter" + "one PS tool". I am learning to use LR these days. However, I found the quality of JPG exported via LR is much inferior than that of DPP. The detail lost in LR-exported JPG file. Of course, I notice the default setting of LR's JPG export is 60 and I just set the figure as 100 for best pic.
Actually, the size of the JPG proved my feeling. The JPG exported from DPP is usually around 5~6M while the same JPG exported from LR is only about 4M.
So, did anybody also find this problem and finally get a high-quality JPG? The LR beats DPP nearly in all aspects and I really want use LR as my major "photo developer".
Many thanks for your help:)

Which Canon DSLR are you using?
I also shoot raw and have a 5D, an XT, and LR blows the doors off DPP for output quality in my work. I've never used Arcsoft so I have to pass on that one.

Problem running DNG Converter from command line in Windows XP

I'm a frustrated user trying to run Adobe DNG converter from the Windows command line - more specifically from a batch file.
- Am reasonably conversant with writing batch files
- Have read the PDF file provided by Adobe
I just can't figure the correct syntax for adding the command line parameters and, unfortunately, the Adobe PDF file doesn't have verbose examples for idiots like me. Nor can I find any such examples on the Net, or any discussion of this problem in the forums.
The Adobe PDF instructions state...
"The parameter list includes the conversion options you want to use, followed by the names of the files to convert."
As there is no switch to prefix 'the names of the files to convert' I assume I just leave a space and include the path to the source files at the end of the parameter list?
Here is the batch file line I am trying to use...
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe DNG Converter.exe [parameter list]"
Where I want to specify in the [parameter list] that...
(a) The destination directory (-d <directory> parameter) is c:\DNG_files
(b) And the source files are in directory c:\RAW_files
Here is the batch line with the parameters entered...
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe DNG Converter.exe -dC:\RAW_files c:\DNG_files"
I've tried variations of this with space between -d and C:\RAW_files and C:\DNG_files\*.* for the source files parameter.
I just keep getting DOS erros like "The filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect"
Can anybody help me. I'm clueless how to solve the problem. :-(
I'm running DNG COnverter version 4.2
Thanks in anticipation.
Rob

Thanks for responding G Sch.
LOL. Well this lemming doesn't habitually rename .exe files (e.g. Adobe DNG Converter.exe) to a non-spaced alternative either! (Adobe_DNG_Converter.exe)
Still no luck...

As you can see (a) Source files exist(b) DNG command line runs without generating an error (c) no output files in destination.
DNG Converter did not run.
If I remove everything after the command (i.e. the parameter list stuff) it fires up DNG Converter in interactive mode. Not what I'm after.
Any other thoughts on what the problem is?
Thank you.

Problem in Database convertion from US7ASCII to UTF8

Hi,
We are facing the following problem while converting the database from US7ASCII to UTF8:
We have recently changed the database character set from US7ASCII to UTF8 for the internationalization
purpose. We ran the Character set scanner utility and it did report that some data may pose problems.
We followed the the below mentioned process to convert into UTF8 -
1) alter database character set utf8
2) alter database national character set utf8.
Now we find some problem while working with the old data in our application which is java based.
We are getting the following error "java.sql.SQLException: Fail to convert between UTF8 and UCS2: failUTF8Conv".
We further analyzed our data and found some interesting things :
e.g.
DB - UTF8.
NL_LANG also set to UTF8.
Select name from t1 where name like 'Gen%';
NAME
Genhve
But when we find out the length of the same data it show like this
NAME LENGTH(NAME) VSIZE(NAME)
Genhve 4 6
The question is why is it showing length as 4 only and when we try to use a substr function
its extracting like the following :-
select name,substr(name,4,1) from t1 where name like 'Gen%';
NAME SUB
Genhve hve
We have execute the above queries on US7ASCII DB and it is working fine, length it shows 6
and using SUBSTR it extracts just 'h' as well.
We also used dump function on the UTF8 Db for the above query,,this is the result :-
select name,length(name),vsize(name),dump(name) from t1 where name like 'Gen%';
NAME LENGTH(NAME) VSIZE(NAME) DUMP(NAME)
Genhve 4 6 Typ=1 Len=6: 71,101,110,232,118,101
We checked a lot with the data and it seems 'h' (accented e) is posing the problem.
We want to know where is the problem and how to overcome this.
Further, we tried all of the following :
1)
Export Server: US7ASCII
Export Client: did not set NLS_LANG / NLS_CHAR, so presumably US7ASCII as well
Import Client: did not set NLS_LANG / NLS_CHAR, so presumably US7ASCII as well
Import Server: UTF8
RESULT: Acute e became h
2)
Export Server: US7ASCII
Export Client: did not set NLS_LANG / NLS_CHAR, so presumably US7ASCII as well
Import Client: NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 and NLS_CHAR=UTF8
Import Server: UTF8
RESULT: IMP 00016 error
3)
Export Server: US7ASCII
Export Client: NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 and NLS_CHAR=UTF8
Import Client: did not set NLS_LANG / NLS_CHAR, so presumably US7ASCII as well
Import Server: UTF8
RESULT: Acute E became h
4)
Export Server: US7ASCII
Export Client: NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 and NLS_CHAR=UTF8
Import Client: NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 and NLS_CHAR=UTF8
Import Server: UTF8
RESULT: Acute e became h
5)
Tried using Update sys.props$
set value$='UTF8'
where name='NLS_CHARACTERSET'
RESULT: Acute e shows properly but it gives problem in the application
"java.sql.SQLException: Fail to convert between UTF8 and UCS2: failUTF8Conv"
Looking further it was observed the following:
when you try this command on a column 'city' in a table which contains 'Genhva' (note the acute e after n), it shows
command: select length(city), vsize(city),substr(city,4,1),city from cities
Result: 4 6 hva Genhva
if you see the value of substr(city,4,1) , you will see the problem. Also note that the length shows 4 and size shows 6. Moreover, when these records are selected through JDBC Driver, it starts giving problems.
6)
Actually the above (point no. 5) is similar to changing the character set of the database with 'ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET UTF8'. Same problem is observed then too.
7)
We have also tried to with another method, that is by changing the third byte of the export file which specifies the character set, to the UTF8 code by editing the export file with a Hexdecimal editor. After import the same problem has been observed as defined in (5) and (6) above.
We have no more ideas how to migrate without corrupting the data. Of course we have known the records where these characters occur through the Oracle's cssacn utility but we do not want to manually rectify each and every record by replacing it with an ASCII character. Any other idea as to how this can be accomplised?
Thanx
Ashok

The problem you have is that although your original database is defined as US7ASCII, the data it contains is more than is covered by this code page (as the reply on Sept 4 to the previous posting already said).
This has probably happened because the client was also defined as US7ASCII, and when the DB and client are defined as having the same character set no conversion (or checdking) takes place when data is passed between them. However if you are using a Windows client then it will in fact be using Windows code page 1252 (Latin-1) or similar, and this allows many more characters, including h (accented e). So a user can enter all these characters and store them in the database, and similarly read them from the database, because data transfer is transparent.
When you did ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET UTF8 this will only change the label on the database, but not affect the contents. However only part of the contents are valid UTF8, any character above 7F (like h) is invalid. If your original client now uses the database, code page transformation will take place because the client and DB have different character sets defined. The invalid codes can then cause problems.
Without being able to explain what has happened in detail, it may help to see what your h (dec 232, x'E8') looks like. The actual data has not changed (you can see this as it is reported as 232). However the binary code there (11101000) is invalid UTF8. UTF8 encodes a character in 1 to 4 bytes, and the first bits in a UTF8 character tell how many bytes it uses. 0xxx tell it is one byte (same as the corresponding USASCII character), 110x that it uses 2 bytes, 1110 that it uses 3 bytes etc. So if you interpret what is there as UTF8 it looks like the first byte of a 3-byte character, which explains why the substringing is giving you the other 2 bytes as well.
Can you fix this without losing data? I believe yes. First you should check what other characters are being flagged by the scan. See if these are contained in another standard character set. If they are only Western European accentet characters then WE8ISO8859P1 is probably ok, but watch out for the euro sign which Windows has at x'80', an undefined character in ISO8859-1.
You can see the contents of the Microsoft Windows Codepage 1252 at: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/sbcs/1252.htm
For a listing of the US-ASCII defined characters see http://czyborra.com/charsets/iso646.html and for ISO 8859-1 see http://czyborra.com/charsets/iso8859.html#ISO-8859-1
If all is well, you can first ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET to WE8ISO8859P1. This will not change any data, but ensure that all the data gets exported. Then export the DB and import it to a UTF8 DB. This will convert the non-US-ASCII characters to Unicode. You will also have to change the clients character set to something other than USASCII or they will just see ? for the other characters.
Good Luck!

Problem Opening Files converted from Javamail Attachments (io problems)

Hello,
I am streaming a Word doc attachment from a JavaMail Message object, to a file using the code below. The file shows up in the file system as the proper size, but when I attempt to open it, it says "The document or path is invalid". It seems to happen the moment I write even a single line of the stream from the BufferedReader to the DataOutputStream, let alone the entire input stream (simply creating the empty file before streaming between objects, and I can open the file without problems). I would be grateful for any insights. Thank you.
public void capture(TRIMAttachment ta, Part part){
   String filename = path + ta.getDocumentName();
   String attContent = "";
   attachmentFile = new File(filename);
   try {
      FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(attachmentFile);
      DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(fos);
      InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(part.getInputStream());
      BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
      String s="";
      while ((s = br.readLine()) != null) {
         attContent=attContent+s;
      dos.writeBytes(attContent);
      br.close();
      isr.close();
      dos.close();
      fos.close();
      }catch(IOException ioe){
         ioe.printStackTrace();
      }catch(MessagingException me){
         me.printStackTrace();
      }

A Word document is not a text file (surprise!). You shouldn't be using
a Reader to read the content. Copy the data to the file using the
InputStream and a FileOutputStream. See the msgshow.java demo
program.

Problem when auto converting from abap to abap oops in Nw2004w

Hi,
When i'm converting update rules to transformation i am prompted to create the infosource with name as 2lis_13_vditm_cp.
On clicking on the tick system is display message as
Pos. 1 of the InfoSource must be diff. to one of char.: 0123456789YZ..
Wanted to check if we will have to mandatory prefix Z or Y before the infosource name or is there any parameter to take care of this problem
Sachin K

Hi,
You can not use 0123456789 in the beginning of BW objects, these are SAP namespace.
Since you are trying to create one, use other characters as first letter.
Hope this helps,

Unreadable Files - Jpg converted from Illustrator

I designed a poster in illustrator. Then exported them as jpeg's. The files open just fine and I am able to use them and print them. When I try to import them into iPhoto the come up at Unreadable files. I tried to save them again and in different names. I have several files doing the same.
Any help would be great. I really need to these in a slide show for work.
Thanks
Todd

Todd:
Where are these files located when you try to import? If you've put them inside the iPhoto Library package/folder then you'll need to move them to the desktop and import from there.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Problem with files converted from m4a to mp3

Here's what happened: I recorded the a in Garageband, exported it to disk then to iTune & converted it to MP3 as I usually do to distribute my demos. The MP3 files works fine on iTune on my iMac but when I downloaded it to my PC and tried to play it on WMP, all it did was jump.
I actually upgraded iTunes & other Mac softwares lately... Could this be the reason why the MP3 converter won't work ?

greg-
thanks. yes, i think that's what has been so tricky about this. i add a link to an mp3 in blogger, but feedburner doesn't add this particular show as an enclosure, so it's not updating in the feed. can't seem to find where the origin of the problem, though...is it blogger, feedburner, or the mp3 file or...?

Very STRANGE problem when importing/converting from Word

I've been trying to convert a form created in Word XP to PDF. When I use the "Convert to Adobe PDF" button or when I try to import the document into Adobe Designer, every line of the form, whether text box or form field, is overlaid with a copy of the screen banner (for example, the current banner as I type this is the Firefox logo followed by "Adobe Forums - Add Discussion - Mozilla Firefox"). I can't grab the banner image to delete it. At best, the image is barely translucent, so I can almost read the text that should be visible. At worst, the banner is so dark it completely obscures the other text.
Right now, the form is completely unusable. It also can't be opened again, once it's closed. The Acrobat Pro 7 error message says that's either because it's not a supported file type (it's a PDF now) or because it's "damaged."
Any ideas how I can either get rid of these images or keep them from showing up?

It's not about "like" or "not like", it's about following

Secondly, regardless your personal feeling on the topic, it

JDeveloper3.1.1.2 problem:convert from UTF8 to UCS2 failed

oracleTeam:
i test JDeveloper3.1.1.2,it has problem in runtime:convertion from UTF8 to UCS2 failed ,AttributeLoadException.( our language is chinese)
I found that oracle\jbo\server\QueryCollection.class in dacf.zip maybe has problem,i use this class of JDeveloper3.1 to repalce same_name class in JDeveloper3.1.1.2,above problem disappeared,
but because this class is not suit of JDeveloper3.1.1.2,other problems appeared.
so you should work out this problem ,i hope
it runs correctly.

I searched this forum and the SQLJ/JDBC forum, and found a few occurrences of this problem. Among the things people suggested:
* Changing JDBC drivers (experience varied as to which one fixed the problem)
* Adding nls_charset1x.zip to your CLASSPATH
* Ensuring you're using the same character set on the client and server.
I suggest you take a look at the following discussion threads: http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum8/HTML/001810.html http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum8/HTML/000065.html http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum2/HTML/000820.html

Cannot Load JPG Files From Canon Powershot S2 IS

Hi,
I'm having a problem loading JPG files from my Canon Powershot S2 IS. When I plug the camera into the USB port, I get the Canon Camera/DV Twain Driver with a list of images to import. They are all JPEG images, which is my camera's native format. (I don't think RAW is available on this model.) But when I select an image by double-clicking it, it is imported into Photoshop Album (Starter Edition 3.0), but has somehow been converted to TIFF.
The problem I have with this is that the TIFF format uses up about 7 time more disk space than the original JPG and I can't afford a new hard drive right now. I simply don't have enough disk space available to import all my images. (I plan to back them up on CD after importing.)
I see that Edit -> Preferences -> Scanner has an option to save files as JPEG, but Edit -> Preferences -> Camera has no such option.
Please help! How do I get the images to stay as JPEG?
Thanks!
Debbie Hunt

IPod Classic 160GB film library sync problem - trying to sync films that have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store - all other libraries sync perfect - why?

Hello Apple and the iTunes Windows PC users community.
I am trying to sync films that I have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store. The mp4s all appear and play successfully in my iTunes application but will not sync across to the iPod film library folder.
For your information: I am using iTunes 11.1.3.8 on a Windows 7 64bit machine with 500GB hard disk and 8GB of Ram in the UK.
I have restored the iPod classic 160GB three times now to see if it was a hardware problem with no joy. Each time all the music restores properly as do the podcasts and all the items in TV programmes all appear to sync and work fine.
I have also tried to copy films into the TV Programmes to get around it with no joy. They always go to the films section to start with. It is just the Films library that does not sync - all others work perfectly. As a last resort I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes with no joy either.
I am technically savvy and have gone through the itunes and ipod settings but nothing appears to make a difference - This is the first time I have had to post here as I can usually solve the majority of the ipod anomilies but this one has me flummoxed.
Has the film encoding type changed in the newest itunes update? - Has this happened to anybody else and is it a hardware, software, or operating system problem.

Having uninstalled the current version 11.1.3.8 and loaded and older version of iTunes 10.7.0.21 I can now categorically confirm that the newest update seems to be causing the problem as the films and TV Programmes are syncing perfectly on this older version.
If you are going to do this please dont forget to remove the ' iTunes Library.itl' file as this stops the older versions from running as I've just found out

Are there problems converting from Adobe Bridge to Organizer?

HI,
I've searched for information on this and haven't found anything so maybe there aren't any problems :} but...Murphy and I are good friends so I have to ask if there are problems.
I currnetly run Elements 8 on a MacBook and have about 2000 pictures in Bridge and some in Iphoto. I use bridge for pictures for web design and Iphoto for family stuff. I 'help out' with the computer stuff at a cat shelter in town and they have just bought Elements 10 and run the PC version. I am thinking of upgrading to 10 so I will be familiar with their version but am worried about converting from bridge to organizer. Are there any known problems? Is there a tutorial some place about the conversion from bridge to organizer.
Thanks for any ideas

You have no pictures in Bridge. Bridge is just a browser; it just shows the current state of any folder to which you point it, so that's no problem. If you really want to use organizer, it will pick up your metadata keywords when you import the photos. Photos from iphoto will be duplicated on import to the organizer (normally it just makes a dbase pointer to the existing photo) to avoid inadvertently writing into the iphoto library, which can corrupt it and cause loss of the photos it contains.
You will lose any stacks in bridge when you import the photos into organizer.

Problems when converting from pdf to word

I am a translator and I get most of my work in pdf files. So I convert the pdfs into words to be able to change the text and edit. However, when dcuments are converted from pdf to word I have found they become very unstable and difficult to work with to the point I usually end up not using the coverted file. Is there any place I can go for training about what to do with those documents? Can anyone relate to this problem?
thanks

Hi patryba,
You can access ExportPDF here: Adobe Acrobat.com.
Please let us know how it goes!
