Problem using 'Picture to Pixmap.vi' on RT target

I have an application that runs fine from 'My Computer', but not when run on a RT target (PXI-8145 RT). I narrowed down the difference in performance to Picture to Pixmap.vi (supplied by NI). When run on the RT target, the 'image data' cluster output contains an empty array for 'image', but returns a properly sized 1d array when run from 'My Computer'. Is this is a known problem? Or is there something I can do to fix it? Thanks.

Picture to Pixmap.vi is not supported on RT. Internally it does a call library node to a function that isn't available on RT. In future versions of LabVIEW RT that VI will be removed from the palette under RT targets and it will break the run arrow if you open a VI with it in an RT context. Unfortunately I don't have an easy workaround other than to try to move that code to a Windows host machine.

Why can't I use picture to pixmap.vi in LabVIEW RT

LabVIEW version 2012 SP1
I found that LabVIEW PC spport "picture to pixmap.vi " but not in RT.
How do I convert a picture content to LabVIEW image data type without "picture to pixmap.vi", the cluster one (not IMAQ purple wire)
The other things, picture functions, work pretty fine.
Temporally, I use invoke node to get LabVIEW image data type. That's is not a good idea because once you fold it into subVI it won't work anymore.
Anyone can help or give me some suggestion?
Best,
Justin

Hi Justin,
Could you please confirm that the NI-RIO version is the same between Windows and RT OS?
It would be better if you can further provide your version of LabVIEW and the rest of all the corresponding software.
Also, please attach your simplified project that allowing us to reproduce the issue.
That would be more specific and more efficient.
Thank you

I am not able to use picture functions(pixmap) in v5.1

Hi
I have Labview 5.1 installed on my PC. I cannot make use of the picture functions under graphics and sound palette.
The functions are not executable, it just shows question marks. What can I do to fix this problem.
Regards
Vernon

Hi Vernon,
Most likely your *.mnu file that describes the links to the different
VIs in the palettes has been removed or deleted or the actual picture
VIs have been moved so the link from the *.mnu file to the VIs is
broken. That would result in the question marks in the palette.
The easiest to do to fix this would probably be to reinstall LabVIEW.
You are not able to directly edit the vi.lib palette to repair the
*.mnu links.
Let me know if this doesn't work.
Have Fun!
by the way - isn't it time to upgrade to 7.1? ;-)

Problem Using Aperture as an External Editor

I'm having a problem using Aperture as an external editor for iPhoto. I've set preferences to "Edit in Aperture" and selected the Aperture application. When I click edit a photo in iPhoto, Aperture fires up as expected, but it does not load my photo. Nothing seems to be exported from iPhoto into Aperture.
I can export the same photo to my desktop and then load it into Aperture fine.
When I set preferences to edit in CS2, this works fine, only Aperture seems to be the problem.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm using the following versions:
- iPhoto 7.0.2
- Aperture 1.5.4

If you have Photoshop CS2 then you'd have a better editor using it within iPhoto as follows:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Problems using version set in Elements 9

Hi!
I have problems using the version set. When saving files in the Element 9 editor I can not mark the "version set" option, its not highlighted and not possible to mark or use. Is there a basic setting that I´m missing or??? I have the MAC version of Elements.
Also I have noticed that when I have edited a file in the Elements 9 editor and I come back to the Organizer the editor have changed the time of the photo? This means that its rather difficult to find the photo in the Organiser. It often change the time 1 or 2 hours.
As I cant use the version set I can not keep my tags on the edited pictures. Is there a setting for keeping the tags and catalogue belongings to a edited file?
As of today this software makes no sense to me and I can basically not keep working with it as it does not support basic functionality that I´m dependent on.
Best Re
A

I’m not seeing this in my own version sets in PSE9; when I expand the set every image has the same date and time under each thumbnail.
I’m wondering if you have used the “save for web” command at some point, which
wipes all EXIF metadata, including the date & time of the original - in order to optimize the image for display on the internet. So if you have imported such an image Elements has to make an estimate. Apart from this known scenario I can’t really explain what’s going on.

Problem downloading pictures

I have moved pictures from my phone to Windows Live Photo Gallery many times. Today I tried on both phones (mine and my husband's) and did not get the pictures--just iconic preloads. The screen "says" it has downloaded the pictures, gives the number in each group but they are not there. What happened? Thank you for any help. Jo

Your topic is saying one thing - +"Problem downloading pictures"+ yet your post is saying something different - +"it just won't show any pictures."+
Which is it? Nevermind. You can't download what you can't see.
Sounds more like a browser issue rather than an OS. Check your browsers mapping settings to see which browser plugins are selected to open photos.
Check the Content tab also. Make sure *Load images automatically* is selected. I do not use Safari or Camino. Unsure if they have this setting but it's worth a check.

Problem using NEW webcam...

OS win98SE.
Have successfully installed my new webcam Vista Plus Model: VF0090. I now have a problem using it!
As per instuctions, I go to WebCam Centre and press 'capture'. I then get a message along the bottom of the screen saying 'this device is not available, it may be used by another resource'.
I'm completely at a loss as to what the problem could be.
Any one out there who could help?
Regards
Sue

Got the same problem (1), in addition to the installer freezing (2).
(1) There seems to be a problem with the software - the driver is OK. I used it to record still pictures and movies with MS Photoeditor, Irfanview, WinTVCap and YahooMessenger.
I played around for hours at no avail.
---> Creative - fix that problem in both Cam Detector and WebCam Center!!!
(2) The Setup freezes, then when you kill it it comes up with a DOS window complaining about not enough resources (?!?!?!).
Work-around:
a - Run Demo.exe from the CD;
b - it asks for a *.dbd: look for "your region".dbd, e.g. europe.dbd
c - continue and it will install ...
However, do not know if the install process is correct, because of problem (1). My guess is that it is, and that the problems (1) and (2) are independent.
Again:
---> Creative - fix that problem in with the setup!!!
e.g., use a setup which is less "cool" but which is working.

Problem transferring pictures from camera memory card to computer.

Problem transferring pictures from my camera memory card to my computer. When asked where to save them, it only gives me the option of saving to "Snapfish". There is no option to save the pictures to my computer???

I have a new HP Photosmart 7529e all in one. I put my memory card in the slot but the printer screen does not show my computer as a destination. I'm using Windows 7. Nothing at the computer end acknowlages that the card is in the printer slot. How do I transfer pictures from the card to the computer?

Problems using the Program Monitor

Dear Premiere users,
I recently bought Adobe Premiere CS3 and i'm having problems using the Program Monitor.
I cant see anything off screen. It just wont show anything if its outside the boundaries of the screen. I can adjust the zoom level but that wont change anything even if i set it to full screen.
Another problem I'm having is that it wont show motion paths or clip handles. Even if I make a motion path in the Effects Control window it wont show the path in the Program Monitor.
I really appreciate any advice on this because it drives me crazy. I already tried installing it again but that wont solve the problem.
Thanks in advance.
Greetings,
Peter

First of all I hope you are being sarcastic Jim. Sorry for being not that clear but I'm not stupid :).
Craig Howard is right. I thought that the Program Monitor was similarly to AEFX. But I suppose I was wrong on this one? So you cant get something to display outside the image area? If I place a clip outside the project dimension it just disappears in the Program Monitor.
And about the motion paths. I thought I read in the Premiere help files that they do show up in the Program Monitor. The topic says: "Adjust position, scale, and rotation" or "Animate motion in the Program Monitor ". There are pictures over there that show clip handles and motion paths in the Program Monitor. Clicking the effect wont do anything for me. Its like my video driver cant get them to show or something.
Edit: I found a tutorial here:
http://digitalproducer.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=26660&afterinter=tr ue
They are dragging frames off screen and are using the handles and borders around the frame to adjust them. So I guess it should be possible, but how?
Thanks for the help.

HT3529 Has anyone experienced problems sending pictures on message today?

Has anyone experienced problems sending pictures on Imessage today? Even mail has been taking a long time to receive. I work near newark airport.

Last I checked you could not access RoadRunner outgoing mail servers from outside of the RoadRunner network (i.e., the AT&T EDGE network). You can use cwmx.com as your outgoing mail server, with no ID or password, and that will work while you are on EDGE (but now when you are on WiFi).
As for junk mail, that is the scourge of the internet. Many people have many solutions - I can share with you mine. I had all my email forwarded to a free GMail account. GMail has amazingly efficient SPAM filters, and it has cut down my spam 99%. You can configure your account on the iPhone using the "Other" shortuct in such a way that emails seem to come from your Roadrunner account. The added bonus is that the GMail outgoing server works on both EDGE and WiFi, so you dont have to worry about where you are at.

Using Pictures in iMovie That AREN'T In iPhoto/Aperture/Photo Booth?

Hey,
I was wondering if I could import photos into iMovie to use in projects that aren't in iPhoto, Aperture, or Photo Booth. These are my only options to choose from when I click on the camera button to add photos. And you can't import photos into iMovie, just videos. There are several projects I'm working on that use pictures that I don't really want to keep in iPhoto. If I can't add photos from Finder, then I have another question. Say I import the pictures I want into iPhoto, then add them to my iMovie project. If I then delete them from iPhoto, will that affect my project? Thanks!
Kate

What's going on?
Can demonstrate what I do but cannot diagnose your problem without amplifying information. For instance, to which "iMovie window" are you dropping photos? Since photos are stored directly to the named_Project package, they can only be added to a Project and not to an Event (if that is what you are trying to do).

Picture to Pixmap (8-bit input) not returning colors array

I'm trying to open an image, interactively add text and a few test patterns to the image and resave it. Everything's hunky-dory except the "Picture to Pixmap" vi (v7.0) is returning a faulty image array and not returning a colors array. Here's a screen shot of the test program if you wish to see for yourself (again, LV 7.0)

Pict2Pixmap_test.jpg ‏10 KB

I agree.
As Johnner said above, 24-bit images obviously don't have a problem since each array element has all three 8-bit RGB values. However, I will add my opinion that there isn't quite a work around. If you take a look at the colors table of the incoming image for, say, an 8-bit image, there are indeed 256 elements in the color table. But the color table is customized to the image--for example an 8-bit grayscale image which returns a color array of 256 steps from black to white--and not the same color table recieved from the 'Get Image' invoke node (which is constant no matter what the image is inside).
So past the problem of the Picture2Pixmap.vi not returning a colors array, I'm thinking that even if it did, it would simply be the default color table that 'Get Image' returns. 'Get Image' isn't tailoring the 256 colors it outputs to the image like a normal image processing program (photoshop et al), reducing the colors down to the 256 closest colors represented. In 8-bit mode, the default color array only returns 11 gray values. Obviously that's not going to work for a grayscale image where 256 values are desired.
If you get a picture and save it as 24-bit, 8-bit color, 8-bit grayscale, 4-bit color, 4-bit grayscale, and 1-bit images, I've included a little test vi that will show the problem (hopefully) very clearly. Just open an 8-bit image, set the depth to 8 on the vi, and you'll see the test bitmap it saves is all funky since there's no color table included in the 'image data out' and the image in the 'Picture out' control has significantly fewer colors (picture out interprets the data with the default color table) in it than the 'Picture in' even though both images written to them were 8-bit to start with.
So...summary: Looking past the missing color table problem, unless a more typical graphics processing algorithm is included (to match the closest 2^1;4;8 colors) in reducing a picture control's default 24-bit information to 8, 4, and 1 bit information, even if they fix Picture2Pixmap.vi to return the color table the 'Get Image' invoke node returns, it's still not going to preserve a non 24-bit image.

Problem displaying pictures in some sites, sites do not complete loading

Hi,
I'm experiencing a problem which I think is not from Safari, because it happens in FireFox also. Pictures in some sites most of the time do not display (sites like YouTube and Qik.com). These sites do not completely load.
I consulted a friend of mine (remotely) who is a network administrator, but he didn't find anything wrong with the router or net setup.
This problem didn't exist earlier this year. I switched to 10.5.5 lately copying settings from a backUp of my 10.4.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I have the problem using Firefox 8.0.1.
Particularly when loading any '''https:// '''websites and control panels.
This occurs in XP Pro SP3 / Windows Vista Ultimate / and Windows 7 Ultimate.
This did not occur in Firefox 8.0
