Quicktime Image IO and JPEG Chroma Subsampling

This is more of a developer question than a user question, but hopefully someone here will be able to answer it.
I'll use the example of using Quicktime Image IO to save JPEGs in an application. There will be a scale of "Least, Low, Medium, High, Best" (basically, a scale from 1 to 100) for setting quality. I need to know at what point (at what quality level) JPEG chroma subsampling is turned off (or, worded another way, at what point JPEG chroma subsampling is set to 4:4:4).
Thanks

Image Processor and JPEG destination folder

I wonder if it is possible to change the name of the JPEG destination folder when using Image Processor?
I organize all my folders with a specific date structure. Whenever I use Image Processor to create JPEGs, the folder is called JPEG. Then I have to rename the folder with the date structure. Is there some way to include the original folder name in the JPEG folder?
"Save As JPEG
Saves images in JPEG format within a folder called JPEG in the destination folder."
Thanks for any ideas.

I believe if you download the Image Processor Pro script from Russell Brown's web site and install it. You will find it installs under menu File>Automate. It is like the Image Processor but is more powerful. You can save as many different sized jpegs for a image as you need you can name the folder or folders you want them saved in. You can add, remove and turn ON/OFF the tabs in the center section.

Help with managing RAW and jpeg images and installing iphoto 9

Greetings: Fist, let me make the neophyte apology and plea - I'm sorry, I should have come here first; I didn't and now I need your help.
I have just purchased a macbook pro (still in its box) with updated software for my older imac os x. I have a number of Canon related photo editing programs (that came with my 40D digital SLR) and Adobe photo elements 6 for mac on the imac. Following some erroneous advice I have made a complete mess of the pictures folder's content by trying to delete images directly from that folder (there are now 6000+ images in the folder, many of which are duplicates(?). Most of the images are not tagged or labeled and some have been organized in/by iphoto (I corrupted the iphoto's library structure very early on by disrupting and editing its images - which might explain why iphoto had a difficult time 'finding' and displaying some of my photos). The picture folder now holds jpegs, smallRAW images (a Canon 40D photo format) and various duplicates of the orignal images - (some of the duplicates don't display as images, but as jpeg logos, which, when opened contain duplicate image or are completely black) The first time I downloaded RAW images into iphoto 6 the RAW data displayed as a black image. When shooting in smallRAW on the Canon 40D, the camera produces a jpeg image for 'easy viewing and editing in the camera' but it looks as though iphoto 6 made duplicates of the jpeg and the RAW data and stored them in different locals in the picture file. In an attempt to get the number of images down, I have been trying to delete them from the picture folder. (My daughters both download images rather indiscriminately in hopes of 'editing them on the computer' which inevitably does not happen) and there is a lot of experimental bracketing of images - shooting raw and different Camera formats etc., all of which need to be cleaned up before I proceed.
Sometime in the not-too-distant future I would like to have iphoto 9 running on my imac with a clean library of images and a seamless way of downloading, editing and storing images (including the RAW data).
The macbook pro is for my highschool-aged daughter, who will run iphoto 9 but not have any RAW image data on her system. She would like to copy some of the old iMac's images to put into her own iPhoto 9 library (probably using a disk, email or on-line photo service - ideally, I would like to be able to copy and remove a number of those images from my HD and give them to her for the macbook)
A few questions and queries: Can I 'dis-able' iphoto 6, while I delete images (RAW and jpeg) from the picture file? (and is this even a good idea).
Once I have edited the # of images down to a reasonable size, should I re-launch iphoto 6, rebuild the iphoto library and then update to iphoto 9 or skip v6 and rebuild with v9?
And now for the 'how stupid is this guy question' - I really had planned to purchase an external backup; but between new the macbook, car repairs and braces it has never come to fruition. So, I have never properly backed up my images. What is the bare-bones, least expensive method for me to do this? I'd even consider burning everything to disks if that works. I can't afford the $ to purchase a new external hard drive right now (really). Budget is set aside mid-November for one though.
I've been looking through some other discussion boards and it looks like I'm not the only one having RAW image issues. I know that shooting smallRAW with the companion jpeg is probably not helping things but I take my camera equipment on extended canoe trips - and we like the ease of on-the-spot editing with this format.
Thanks in advance for your help - Mark

Terence, Is the picture folder the primary source for the images or does that data reside somewhere else?
If you gathered them there, then yes.
I really don't want to have to go through 14,000 images looking for the pictures that I want to keep (or is that my only option?).
Only you can decide what you want to keep.
Why does the computer keep making copies of the images and filing them under date and events?
That's how iPhoto works. It's not a problem usually, only you did go in there and make a problem, and now we are trying to fix it.
You advise not to muck around in the picture file via preview,
No I don't. I advise not to much around in the iPhoto Library Folder.
but if I download images through a program other than iPhotos - image capture or adobe aren't I doing that anyway?
Adobe what? Adobe is a software manufacturer who make many excellent applications, you need to be more precise. And no, if you import photos with Image Capture or “adobe” no you are not interfering with the iPhoto Library Folder.
Can you edit a base image file somewhere and remove it from the HD without iphoto making a copy of it and storing it somewhere else?
This is stunningly easy. Don't use iPhoto. Use an image editor.
I want to look the negatives, decide which ones I want and throw the rest away. Can that be done or am I way off course?
Yes, and iPhoto (or similar apps) make this really easy.
Hook up your camera. Import the pics to iPhoto. Go through the imported pics. Trash the ones you don't want. Then process the ones you do. But you must learn how to use iPhoto to do this successfully
To trash: put the pic in the iPhoto trash and empty it. This removes the file from iPhoto and the Hard Disk.
Process it: If you want to use another editor: You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

5K Retina iMac can't open Image Sequence quicktime 7 Pro and 10.10 Yosemite

Brand new and fully loaded iMac 5K crashes every time I attempt to open an image sequence in Quicktime 7 Pro, a feature that is not available in Quicktime X. I have retried, re-installed, and still issues across the board.
Someone please fix this...
System Specs:
OSX 10.10
iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014)
4 GHz Intel Core i7
32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4096 MB
Quicktime 7 Pro 7.6.6 (1709)
Quicktime Player 10.4
To replicate, just open quicktime 7 pro, File>> Open Image Sequence, and then load a camera card full of photos and just wait for it to crash.

If so, please send me a screen shot of your quicktime components folder, maybe you have a codec that I don't.
Also have some legacy codecs turned back on (but Photo-JPEG as used to store image sequence files is not one of them and remains on by default under Yosemite).
Also using JPEG compressed photos from a 24 MP Nikon but restricting resolution to 2560x1920 (4:3), 2560x1707 (3:2), and 2560x1440 (16:9) with max number of photos limited to 2^16-1 (65535).
Also posted a screen capture of my quick test to ensure the QT 7 Pro "Open Image Sequence" option was still working. (Video may be a bit sluggish as I was using QT X to screen capture my use of QT 7 Pro to open an image sequence and forgot that I was also simultaneously still encoding How to Train Your Dragon 2 for my iTunes library.) [OPEN IMAGE SEQUENCE VIDEO]
You may wish to check your QT 7 PLIST file as a corrupted file can sometimes cause the app to crash.

I had this video file and I was trying to flip it to a format that would work with iMovie. It used to have the Quicktime image with it. So, I assume it was a QT file. But, somehow I've changed the file from a video to a folder.

How?
Please detail ALL you have done so far in the way of troubleshooting? Need this info to avoid the been there done that scenarios.

Where did you get the video from?
From the pic I noticed that the folder is 841.9mb. What's inside? Or what happens when you click on it?

Firefox for Mac preferences shows .qif file format for quicken as "quicktime image format"-wrong application and won't let me select anything else

Post to Firefox forum; Oct.2011
Re: Quicken 2007; Mac OS 10.5
Problem: can’t import or download Qif format files into quicken from bofa or Chase. Mac can’t recognize; how do I set preferences in Firefox (or Safari).

Hello,
I previously used Firefox on my old Mac G4 with OS 10.3.9; the above issue existed with that system and Firefox 2.00.2 (or similar). I then "tried" to move to a G5 Mac with OS 10.5, hoping that an updated Mac Operating system and updating Firefox would solve that problem.
I'm now working on my son's MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.8, 2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo; 2gb Memory; 2 gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.
I still have a problem in Firefox Preferences trying to download .qif files. BofA Mortgage accounts only allow downloading of .qif files. My .qfx download works fine, but the error message is as follows:
The error message is that this is a corrupted file or one that Preview doesn't recognize.
and it is still a problem when trying to download Quicken .qif format files for our B of A mortgage.
The preferences for Firefox under File Helpers won't let me name the extension I want; instead, it CONFUSES .qif (Quicken Interchange Format) with .qtif (Quicktime Image Format) for Mac.
Therefore, when I download .qif files and try to import them to Quicken, I get a message that this is a corrupted file:
thanks for any help.
Val in Seattle

Well, in the end, I just gave up and deleted the photos, in the hope that it was something to do with them. Took some more photos and they seem to have imported without any problems at all.
Given that the same irksome photos loaded on the wife's macbook without so much as a murmur, how weird is that?
Still- all's well that ends well. Thanks for the suggestions- much appreciated.

Why is it so difficult to convert a Raw image to a jpeg in Photoshop Elements ?! I have version 12. Once i realized to change the tick box in Camera Raw to 8 bit instead of 16 bit and Flatten image ( sometimes can flatten image if the flatten option isn't greyed out) hey presto i thought i was up and running. However after saving the photograph as a jpeg and renaming it e, after the word edit. I switched off/on my computer only for all the images i had spent time working on to have disappeared. Feeling very upset as there is no Technical Help to telephone at adobe and i don't know what to do.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Check if Style Resource Readers SharePoint group has permissions on the site, permissions to the style library and make sure that this library provides Style Resource Readers with restricted read.
If you don't see Style resource readers on the site, go to that library and set that permission. you could also just load your installation media to a folder, and execute on setup.exe, select repair option. This second option of the installation
media is the cannon vs. flyswatter approach though, but it will work

Difficulty navigating to and identifying my RAW and JPEG Images

Hi,
I have several related issues that I would appreciate help with.
I am finding difficulty navigating to and identifying my RAW and JPEG images in Aperture. I do actually principally work with JPEG and only use RAW when I perceive there to be a benefit by improving a poorly captured image.
To give you some background. I am using an iMac OSX 10.8.3 and Aperture 3.4.3 Camera Raw 4.04. When I Import images I import both RAW and JPEG using RAW as the original.
At the Import stage both RAW and JPEG thumbnails are displayed. However once imported only one thumbnail is displayed in the Library on some occasions this will be the JPEG and on other occasions the RAW (as identified from the Info tab. How can I select which version to work with?
I would appreciate assistance with this.
Regards,
John

It is possible to see the Raw master along side the Jpg master if you wish.
When a version is created (make new version from original) it is created off the original that is currently selected. So if the jpg image is the current original all versions created will be made off the jpg image. Likewise if the raw is the current original all versions created will be made off the raw image.
Also keep in mind that a version that has no adjustments applied to it is identical to the original it was made from.
So to get both along side each other do:
Set raw as original, create new version from original. Label this version Raw original version. Now switch to jpg as original. Make a version from this and label it Jpg original version.
Just ensure you never apply adjustments to these two images and you will always have both the jpg and raw images available to compare.
In addition if say the jpg is the original and you want to make a version from the raw, instead of switching the jpg and raw you can just go to the Raw original version and duplicate it.

Backups of raw and Jpeg images

I currently backup my iphoto library via time machine and keep a second copy of another USB HD. However the backup is the iphoto library, how do I back up the raw and jpeg images so that they are not within the library so that I could access them from a non apple pc?
I just would like the added security.
Thanks
Peter

You'll need to export them from the Library.
Select an Event or Album in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export
In the resulting dialogue you have a number of options:
From the dropdown you can select the Kind to export:
Originals will get you exactly that: the original files. These will be the contents of the Event as per the iPhoto Window.
Current will get you the most recent versions of the files: a mix of edited and unedited pics. Again, the contents as per the iPhoto Window.
Tiff and Jpeg options allow you to export the current versions in those formats and you can the metadata - tiles, keywords, descriptions and locations - to the files on export.
PnG does not have the option to write the metadata as that format has very limited support for it.
There are other options for file size and naming and so on.

Feature Request: Functions to read image data, and write to tiff or jpeg.

Functions that render image data and make it available to plugins before writing to disk would facilitate writing plugins that take rendered image data into consideration. Also, if the aforementioned image data could be subsequently written to disk possibly after a bit of modification, it would open up a whole new world for plugins.
Plugins don't need to access the mid-rendering stages in the raw conversion / rendering pipeline, but having a shot at post-rendered, pre-written to disk image data would allow pixel manipulating export plugins to be written. A set of image file manipulation methods would be a decent work-around, providing the ability to read/write tiff/jpeg files.
Rob

Well, I'm replying to my own question!
I solved the problem by reading the data from my card, then using Flatten Pixmap to create a pixmap from my data array, then using Draw Flattened Pixmap to create a picture to send to a 2D Picture. This works fine.
Now, how can I change the Pixmap into Image so I can save to an AVI?

File>Open to open your eps file
File>Export to export your image as a jpg.
In the export dialog box just below where you type in the filename is a file type, that is where you choose jpg.
What ever you do, do not delete the eps file. Should you ever need to access the original you will have have.
I recommend that instead of jpg you choose psd, tiff, or png and use jpg only for sharing. Jpg is a lossy format meaning each time you edit the file and save it, the quality of that file degrades. The formats I recommend are lossless formats, you can edit them all you want no data is being discarded unless you choose to do so.

Original Items and JPEG Images folders keep appearing on my desktop

Hi, was hoping someone could help me.
I keep getting empty "Original Items" and "JPEG Images" folders appearing on my desktop (MacBook Pro running Yosemite).
It's been happening for a while now. Every time I try and delete them or move them off the desktop, fresh and empty folders reappear.
I like to keep my desktop clutter free so it's an annoying problem.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

These are probably just files you have inadvertently downloaded from some web site, or perhaps a buggy JavaScript downloaded them to your desktop. You can find out where they were downloaded from by selecting them and choosing File -> Get Info. The More Info section will tell you. See the following example, taken from a file I downloaded not long ago:
This is not the work of any kind of malware, and the "creepy" file is simply a Mandelbrot image, created from a mathematical equation. These can be quite beautiful. See:

How can I view both the RAW and JPEG version of an image in LR?

I just took some images as both RAW and JPEG images thinking I would see them as separate images in LR4. However I see them as a single image with a file name that says RAW + JPEG. They are separate images in my folder but I can't import them as separate images. Thanks for any help.

You need to edit Prfeferences>General Tab and check the option to "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos". That will work for future Raw+Jpeg pairs, but it doesn't work for already imported pairs. For these, the easiest way to deal with them (after changing the Preferences as described) is to go to the folder containing the existing pairs in the Folders Panel, right-click on it and select Synchronize Folder....this will give you the option to import the Jpegs as separate files.
