Question about file previewing in Bridge CS3

Does anyone know if it's possible to preview a Corel Painter file in Bridge? I'm running CS3 Bridge on a Windows XP machine. Currently, each Painter file is represented by the program's default icon. I'd love to actually see a real preview of each file!
Thanks!

The files I'm referring to end in the extension .RIF
If it's not possible with the standard Bridge program, does anyone know of an addon that would allow this to work?
When in Correl Paint use "save as" to save as jpeg or some other format supported in PhotoShop. That is easier than trying to convert it outside of the program.
You can keep the original .rif file in case you want to go back and work on it.

Xmp sidecar files- move/delete Bridge CS3

Hello
Anybody know a good way to hide the XMP files- or can they be moved to another folder? I don't suppose it is a good idea to delete these sidecar files
Is there a way for me to specify in Bridge CS3 that I do not want the .xmp files to be saved in the same folder as the images they are attached to?
How come .xmp files get saved for some of my tagged images and not others?
thanks

I suppose you could go ahead and make them all hidden files. But you're going to have to do that every time you start working on another new raw file. If you're going to work with raw images you might as well just get used to seeing them. Another alternative would be to use the DNG converter to convert your raw images to DNG files. Then you wouldn't have to worry about XMP files at all because all the metadata is stored within the DNG. But that's up to you.
Another thing to consider. If you hide all those sidecar files and then decide to move your images you will have to go through the process of making them all visible so that you can copy them. Personally, I don't think it's worth it.

Import DNG files processed in Bridge CS3

I have imported 500 DNG files that have had some adjustments made to them in Adobe Bridge CS3. Aperture 2 does not seem to recognise the RAW adjustments that have been made in Bridge. I copied some of the DNG files to a DVD and then opened the DVD on another computer that has Bridge and the adjustments stick with the DNG file. How can you import DNG files into Aperture 2 that have been processed in Bridge without having to make the adjustments again?

You can't. The raw conversion made by ACR can not be read by Aperture and vice versa. The only reason you can read the settings in the DNG- file on another computer with ACR is that the sidecar file is embedded in the DNG. If you had not converted to DNG, then you had to export the XML- sidecar file as well if you wanted ACR on the other computer read the settings made to the raw file.

Question about image preview in client side before upload the image file to server

Hi everyone:
My project has an image upload function. Currently it only display a fileupload component, after user press OK, the file will upload to server, but there's no preview before user press OK.
I want it can show the preview, I know that I can upload the file to a temporary directory on server then show that image to client, but in this way will cause strain on server. Is there any other ways to preview the image? Like using JavaScript? Thankyou.

Cdr file preview in Bridge CS6

Anyone knows why Bridge CS6 wont display larger previews of cdr files?
The previous version I had (CS4) handled cdr files without any problem.
Thanks

Sorry I don't have an answer either, szf611. In fact, I came here looking for an answer to this myself.
I had a vague memory that the ability to view CDRs might have come from a Bridge extension, rather than being a native capability, but I could be wrong about that. (Maybe I'm thinking of the "Bridge Here" script?) I don't know if it would have come from Adobe or Corel.
If I find any solution, obviously I'll post back. You haven't found any more info since opening the thread, have you?

Few questions about file sharing using airport

I'm thinking about getting an AirPort Extreme, but I have a few questions:
1- I (must) use Ubuntu Linux at work and I would like to be able to acess my home files hosted at AirPort remotly. Is this possible?
2- Can I access my files on my iPhone using 3G connection (eg: download or stream mp3 files, photos, ...)?
Thanks in advance!

Yes.
Yes. Use FileBrowser for iPad.

Curious question about Lightroom previews and Camera Raw Cache

Posted in the Flickr Lightroom Group as well:
I have noticed something about the Lightroom (3.6) previews and Camera Raw cache that have me puzzled.
I create a brand new empty catalog and purge the Camera Raw Cache.
Then I import ONE Nikon RAW (NEF) file with dimensions 2592 x 3872 (10 megapixels - 10,036,224 pixels).
Next I export that NEF file to an uncompressed 8-bit TIFF file. You would expect the size of that TIFF file to be roughly 30 megabytes (10 megapixels x 3 bytes per RGB value) and in fact the TIFF file is 30,135,830 bytes in size. If you export the same TIFF file but specify ZIP compression the resulting file size is 10,834,038 bytes. Obviously the compression obtained here is going to be highly specific to the image but so far no surprises.
During import I specify render 1:1 previews and I go into Loupe mode and view the entire image at 1:1 size. I also visit the develop module and do a bunch of manipulations on the image but no cropping.
At the conclusion of all of that I exit from Lightroom and examine the size of the Camera Raw Cache folder as well as the Lightroom previews folder. It would be my expectation that the previews folder should have a rendered full image and that the Camera Raw Cache should also have a rendered form of the raw data. What would you expect the size of those respective folders to be?
In fact - in my trials the previews folder totals a mere 1,675,264 bytes and the Camera Raw Cache which contains one DAT file corresponding to the one cached image is merely 267,374 bytes. This does not seem like nearly enough bits to preserve the rendered image nor is there a full size image tucked away in the actual catalog either - that file is not large enough to contain that. And yet I can use Loupe mode at 1:1 size and move from image to image with no loading delays (even when importing multiple files).
I'm wondering if I've missed something obvious in my analysis and if not, whether someone might care to speculate as to what magic Adobe is practicing here. Even if we grant them some special algorithm to compress their previews I don't see how they can achieve a compression so much greater than the ZIP-compressed TIFF file achieves.
And for those that might think to ask - I've repeated these experiments with multiple raw images and on both the PC and MAC platforms.
I look forward to some answers or interesting theories or perhaps someone might replicate the experiment and report findings.

MadMan and Hal - thanks so much.
So that was my D'Oh moment of what I was missing - the use of re-rendered JPGS as previews. That certainly does fit with the file sizes I am seeing. I had naively assumed that the previews might have tried to preserve the full fidelity of the image - But as you suggest that full fidelity is likely only there in the develop module.
This perhaps explains another observation from the Develop module - moving from one image to another might display "Loading" either briefly or across a longer duration. My guess is that the length of the loading process might have to do more with what is cached in RAM than cached on disk in the camera raw cache. More of a shame then that 64-bit Lightroom on 64-Bit Windows cannot grab more RAM than it seems to do at present.

Question about DNG converter in Bridge CS4

Hello,
I just installed Photoshop CS4, When I updated, it downloaded a hefty update (199 megs), so my setup now is:
Win XP pro
Bridge 3.0.0.464
Camera RAW 5.7
Photoshop CS4 11.0.2
My Camera is a Panasonic Lumix FZ150 ( 2011 vintage)
I have downloaded the Adobe DNG converter 6.6.0.261
Every thing seems to be working fine so far, except:
In Bridge when I "get Photos from Camera" the DNG conversion doesn't work. When I use the standalone converter it works fine.
From reading past material on this forum I am assuming this is due to the fact that Bridge is older than my camera, and doesn't recognize the format.
The questions:
1. Does Bridge have its own built in DNG converter that is not upgradeable separately?
2. If 1 is correct, is there a way to point Bridge to the location of the standalone converter so the work flow can be optimized.
3. Since Bridge is not doing the conversion, but only importing the files, does the "Apply metadata" section of that window actually do anything? Should I bother to fill in any of those boxes?
Thanks for any help.

I posted a similar question quite a while ago, and what I learned was that Bridge has a DNG converter built in, but it's using ACR to read the file before it can convert. So you need ACR support for your camera.
AFAIK there's no way to point Bridge to a standalone DNG converter.
I suggested an updateable DNG converter plugin for Bridge, don't know why nobody listened...I thought it was an excellent idea
As for the metadata, you just have to try. I don't know if it can write metadata when it can't read the file.

DNG Preview in Bridge CS3

I recently converted all my NEF's (from a Nikon D70s) to DNG files using Adobe DNG Converter 4.3.1. I use Lightroom to do most all of my cataloging and post processing however I went into Bridge the other day for the first time in a while and noticed that I none of the DNG have a preview other than the standard .DNG adobe icon. Why? Am I missing something I've gone through preferences of both Bridge and the DNG converter. Bridge sees the .NEF files perfectly.
Cheers
Ben

Ben,
Couple of ideas -
Is Bridge is totally up-to-date?
Have you tried resetting your Bridge preferences? Hold down the Option key (Mac Alt on Windows) and launch Bridge. You should get a dialog box that will give you the option to trash the prefs.
If that didnt fix it, are you sure that the Camera Raw plugin is installed correctly and working? You mentioned that Bridge displays your NEF previews but do they open into CR? If all is well with CR, then the next thing Id try is copying a few of the DNGs to a new folder and then do some quick edits to them. Make sure the Camera Raw preference under DNG File Handling is set to Update embedded JEPG previews. That will force a new preview to be built. If you still cant see them, Im out of ideas other than the more drastic step of reinstalling Bridge...
Hope that helps-
Greg

Question about file size when using "Export for Web"

Hi!
I created a .mov file and worked to get a great balance between file size and quality so that I could deliver it via the web and make it easier for end users to see the video on a slower connection.
My question: When I use "Export for Web," my .mov file is converted into a very large .m4v file--more than double the size of the original file. I know that this export option is to optimize the file for a wide variety of users/internet speeds. Am I correct in guessing that the end size is not an issue? I would post the .mov file instead, but I really like the option of embedding into a html page along with the "click to play" option.
Bottom line--is it better to post the smaller .mov file that i originally started with or to go ahead and link to the bigger .m4v file that was created with the "Export for Web" option?

"Export for Web" is a feature of QuickTime Pro and it makes 4 files and the html page code for easy copy/paste Web page editing.
The very first file is called a "reference movie" and it links to the other 3 files (56kbps, 900kbps and 1.5Mbps). It, and the page code, "read" the connection speed of the viewing hardware and "serve up" the correct file based on that connection speed.
In nearly all cases the "Desktop" version would still be smaller in file size than the original source. The times the file would "increase" in file size would be when an already compressed was used as the source file. You can find out more about your source file by opening it in QuickTime Player and viewing the Movie Inspector window information.
There are dozens of other html "tricks" that could be used if your source file is already compressed but you want a different display size:
Page code to show "aspect" or scale="tofit". This code allows values "outside" of those found in the actual QuickTime file be used for the Web page display. A 320X240 QuickTime .mov file looks pretty good at double size (640X480) but the file size would still be that of the source file.
"Poster Movie" is another html trick that loads the Web based file directly in the QuickTime Player application (bypassing Web page layout restrictions). These files are also known as "Presentation Movies".
Another method is the QuickTime Media Link file (.qtl). These are simple text based files that are used as a "direct link". These use simple XML (Extensible Markup Language) and are easily created in any text editing application. The simple syntax has amazing control over a simple QuickTime .mov file. You can launch (and quit) the QuickTime Player, display at other dimensions and even embed "links" inside the display.
Some of my files as examples:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/Lemon_Trees/ a "Poster Movie" style.
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/.Public/RedneckTexasChristmas.qtl
A QuickTime Media Link file. A tiny file should download to the viewing machine, launch QuickTime Player, present the movie and it even includes a "link" to my Web page.
Edit: It appears you must now double click the .qtl download to launch QuickTime.

Question about File upload functionality in Weblogic

Hi,
    We're currently trying to deploy a web application on the weblogic 12c server (via war file). And the app needs to upload a text file onto the a temperary directory within weblogic server. And on the web page side, we use JQuery File upload plugin.
    My question is, on the file receiver side, does weblogic provide any tools to receive the uploaded file and store it?
Thanks very much in advance.

Hi,
Before setting the string or xstring to server->response->set_cdata (string) or server->response->set_data (xstring) try this:
CONCATENATE 'attachment;filename=' lv_filename '.xml' INTO lv_string.
* Setting the filename by default
server->response->set_header_field( name = 'Content-Disposition'
                                      value = lv_string ).
Hope this helps.

QUESTION ABOUT FILES

I want to delete an entry from a file and i'm trying not to load everything into memory at once.
Now, what i intend doing is, as i read from the file with the data (joe.txt), if the line read from joe.txt isn't what i want to delete, i want to write that information to another file (say joe1.txt). so at the end of the day, joe1.txt will contain everything in joe.txt without the information i deleted.
After all this is done, i want to change the fileName joe1.txt to joe.txt.
CAN THIS BE DONE or if anybody can think of a better way of doing this without loading all information into memory.
Thanks a lot

The previous post about Java not being able to rename a file is incorrect File.renameTo(File) exists. Of course what you're asking can be done. I suspect you wish to remove data from a file. Look at the RandomAccessFile class:

Question about Output Preview

I have a simple Illustrator file. The color values are C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=100
When I run the file through Acrobat Professional's Output Preview to check the colors (I am looking to make sure there are no C, M or Y values), I get values for all four (CMYK).
What gives here?
Thanks

May I suggest the setText() method?

Odd Question about file extensions

Hello, I have a strange question that I cannot seem to fix on my own.
The other week I was messing around in my Utilities folder and I was clicking on some of the applications contained in that folder.
When I closed out some of the programs that I had opened I noticed that all the files on my computer now have a suffix at the end of their names. Everything.
So before an application would say, TechTool Pro 4 it now says TechTool Pro 4.app
TextEdit.app, etc etc
I know this is a minor thing but I would like to find a way to remove this suffix that I inadvertently applied to everything on my laptop.
Thanks for the help

See if this helps. Go to Finder choose Preferences then click Advanced. See if the *Show all file extensions* box is checked. If it is uncheck it.

Question about files in J2ME

Good Evening all!
First off, I am creating a Registry web site for vintage BMW's (02 Series) and I have considered creating a MIDlet J2ME to use along side the web site. I plan to use the app on cell phones, especially ones with cameras.
Now my question:
How can I find out where the picture files are located on the device?
PS. I am comfortable with J2SE, but am new to the J2ME scene.
Thanks!

np. In J2ME you can't access any phone-specific functions like the phonebook, sms inbox, dialing or things like this. So you also cant access and load image located in the "normal" file system of the phone. The only storage you can access with your MIDlet is the RMS, but this is MIDlet dependent (each MIDlet has its own RMS).
This is valid for J2ME. I dont know, whether there are some phone specific APIs, which let you do such things. But the use of them is not recommended, since your app then requires some specific phones, and will not run on every J2ME-enabled phone.
