Recover Image from Thumbnail after lost file??

I accidentally saved a number of images at their original location (the CF Card) rather the converting and copying as usual. I have erased the CF card as usual so all I have are the converted Thumbnails. These Thumbnails actually look pretty good, so what I need to know is how to recover a set of workable images from these Thumbnails?
Any Ideas/Suggestions?
Thanks for any help.

There is a whole thread no too far down on just this. Try a forum search on the main list.
Involves doing a draft print from your preview (1:1 is best) if you generated them.

Recovering image from thumbnail or metadata

Hey there everyone, new poster here.
I'm looking for some help on recovering a file. A rather important piece of digital art from has gone missing, but as it's a couple years old it's unlikely to still be sitting somewhere in the hard drive's free memory. However, I did find an 'Adobe Photoshop file browser metadata cache file' and an 'Adobe Photoshop file browser thumbnail cache file' that have names similar to the original piece of art.
However, can't see a way of opening them. Photoshop tells me it's 'not the right kind of document', and I don't know what other application to use.
So, I ask of you all, do I have any hope of recovering the image? And if so, how should I go about it?
Many thanks,
-J

Your image isn't in them, but go to Get Info to get an app to open them with.

Which programs if any can extract the image from existing QTVR pano file?

Which programs if any can extract the image from existing QTVR panorama files that were created with one image?
Any ideas?
Thank you

Unless you can find an open source ODBC driver for SQL Server that runs on Solaris (and I wouldn't be overly hopeful there) Heterogeneous Services would require that you license something-- a third party ODBC driver, a new Oracle instance, or an Oracle Transparent Gateway.
As I stated below, you could certainly use SQL Server's ETL tool, DTS. Oracle's ETL tools would require additional licensing since you're just on 9.2. You could also write a small application (Java or otherwise) that connected to both databases and transferred the data. If you're particularly enterprising, you could load the SQL Server Type 4 JDBC driver into Oracle's JVM and write a Java stored procedure that connected to the SQL Server database via JDBC, but that's a pretty convoluted approach.

Retrieve lost images from thumbnails?

Hi there,
I have a number of referenced images in my library, the originals of which were held on CD. Unfortunately the CD is no longer readable, and my originals have gone.
I have my preview quality set to high, and Im wondering if there is any way to retreive the images from the librarys previews. I know they wont be the best quality, but it would be better than having lost the images completely.
Ive had a trawl through the Library package, and can see the preview files that would be suitable for restoration, problem is there is about 250 images!
Is there a smart way to retrieve these or am I going to have to trawl through every directory and copy the preview file out and re-import it?
Any help most gratefully received!
Andy

You could apply the method decribed here to find the previews and duplicate and copy them to a new location.

How to save thumbnails of lost files?

I have several hundred thumbnails of pictures that have been deleted by mistake.
The original files are no longer on the disk, yet I can view the thumbnails (e.g., 1280 x 960 images),
and in most cases I can enlarge them somewhat in Library,
but I cannot view them in the Develop area, because I get an error message that says, "the file foo.jpg is offline or missing."
These pictures are several years old and of great sentimental value.
Is there any way to save thumbnails as regular pictures on the disk, so that I can Develop them and print them?
Thanks,
Tim

Sean,
GREAT! I was able to recover all of the lost files.
Thanks

Recover videos from iphone after cut and paste from windows explorer?

From windows explorer Iphone Internal Storage, I used cut to transfer 2 big videos from iphone to windows, but the videos are corrupted now in windows, and no videos in iphone! There is any way to recover them? thanks...

When you came across this case, you should be careful to recover Video on iPhone.
1. Fish your iPhone out of the water as quickly as possible.
2. Dry it off with a towel or something similar. If it is still on, turn it off immediately. Note: running power through wet electronics can damage them beyond repair.
3. Remove the battery, SIM card etc off the phone. If possible, remove the rear glass panel too. Apple uses two special 5-point Pentalobe screws to secure the back.
4. Grab a bowl and fill it with uncooked rice or you can also put your iPhone 5 in with a bunch of silica packets.
5. Bury the iPhone in a bowl of rice and cover it up.
6. Last step is: wait day or two.
The google+ teach you how to recover video from iPhone: https://plus.google.com/106752978783334975190/posts/RL9EhQcLgEx
After this, you may chech your iPhone, if it is damaged, you should recover lost file from iPhone, it may be recover, if you are lucky.

Generating full-size image from thumbnail using BLOB DB images

Hi all,
Assuming that all necessary steps were taken in other posts and tutorials to display images on a web page from BLOB objects stored in an Oracle 10g DB, how is it possible to set the size of the created images (from the servlet that creates the image file from BLOB) so that it is smaller than the actual image in the DB. the user would then have to click the image to open the full image.
would this be done by possibly creating 2 servlets, one that displays a smaller version, and one that displays the actual image?
i don't see how this can be done since the url property of each image is bound to the url of the servlet. If the thumbnail has a url pointing to image produced by thumbnail servlet, would i assign an action handler for clicking the image that redirects to a url given by the full size image servlet? or should i use an image hyperlink instead?
any help is always appreciated!

Suggest you take this one step at a time.
1. Create a database and store your images in it. (Or write the upload mechanism if you need it).
2. Display your full size images.
3. Display your full size images as thumbnail size. (Performance will not be good but you'll have results.) Creator allows you to set image size independantly of the size of the underlying image.
4. Modify the servlet you wrote in step three to optionally reduce the resolution (or quality) based on an input parameter.

How do i delete images from camera after importing

how do i delete images from camera, ipad, iphone after importing the files into aperture3?

Image capture will allow you to delete from the device after import, but I believe it is by design that Aperture does not do this as it is recommended (in the case of a camera) to use a device's own delete function rather than a 3rd party like Aperture. This also allows time for a proper backup before everything is erased from the device?

Recovered photos from bad driver, but files are .ithmb, & won't convert!!!

Hi, .. My hard-drive was damaged, and Time Machine backed-up everything on the external drive, except my second iPhoto Library, called iPhoto Library-2, .. and Genius Bar couldn't find the reason, nor could they fix it. For some reason Time Machine just saved thumbnails, and the dates and the locations were all intact.
However, when the technician tried to recover data from the bad drive, using Mac Drive, Media Four, via PC, all the pictures from Library-2 has .ithmb extension. Not Library one. Library one is fine just like time-machine back-up. I used File Juicer to convert .ithmb files into readable file, but it couldn't do it.
My question is, .. Has this happened to anyone? Why the rescued files are .ithmb? Did we recover the data in a wrong way? Are the picture in Library 2 corrupted, thus damaged drive, & the thumbnails? Should we use another software to recover? Is the problem using a PC to recover instead of a Mac?
Thank you in-advance for your help. Babak
P.S. Time-Machine's back-up shows Library 2 thumbnails, under 1GB, which is no way 19,000 pictures be under 1GB, but the data recovery rescue shows 14GB. .. I'm very confused what to do. Specially, that all the pictures from my iPhone was accidentally erased the next day by iTunes, even-though I stopped the sync, somehow pictures were deleted. So, my only hope is rescuing the pictures from the bad drive.

Hi, I don't know if you're still looking for an answer, but I can tell you that you can easily convert those .ithmb files to viewable .jpgs files on your working pc. It's a bit time consuming but easy. Don't waste your money on expensive software or recovery options, because they will not work. This is freeware and it's a very small command line program. You can download it for free here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/50707723/37b8a1ad/iThmbConv.html
Now follow these steps:
1. Create a new foder called Thumbs as a subdirectory of your hard drive. I assume this your C: drive. (example C:\Thumbs)
2. Copy all the .ithmb files into this folder.
3. Download the iThmbConv program file directly into this folder.
4. Now, on your pc desktop, go to Start, Run and enter cmd in the box. Hit okay.
5. When the black screen command prompt comes on, type cd.. at the end of the prompt line. Press Enter.
6. The next line should only show C:\> If not, enter cd.. again to just show C:\>
7. Now type cd Thumbs When you press enter, the next line should be C:\Thumbs>
8. Assuming one of your .ithmb picture files is named T100. (They are all T and a number, so I'm using T100 as an example) Now type iThumbConv T100.ithmb
You should now see a few copies of your original .ithmb file in the Thumbs folder in a format that is viewable on your pc such as .jpg or whatever.
Repeat step #8 for each additional .ithmb file you want to convert. Then, you can ditch the the copies you don't need.
uming, but easy.

Using flash to display images from sql server or file system

hello,
what methods and parameters of the urlloader class we have to use to display images in a flash player if possible..
also movie should update everytime a new image is added to a database or file
the images can either be in a file system or in a sql database (if possible)
does flash comes with an object of this type or we have to create it.
regards,

i responded to your duplicate message 4 days ago:
is it possible to insert and retrieve images from sql server using actionscript.
you'll need server-side script to query your database and you can use the flash urlloader class to call your script.
also is it possible to create a flash scrolling gallery based on images stored in a database and everytime an image is added it is displayed in the gallery.
load the data using the urlloader class and then load the images. periodically query the database for new images if there's no direct way for flash to know a new image was added.

Load image from a cursor .cur file.

Hi all,
I want to create a customized cursor, and I have a Microsoft cursor .CUR file. Can I load this .cur file as an image? - Thank you
Edited by: trangkd on Aug 9, 2011 3:08 PM

Hi,
I've been google-ing up-and-down, but couldn't find any implementation of .cur and Java. If anyone has done so, please post... I was looking for an easy way i.e. couple lines of code to load image from a .cur file .. like we do with gif or jpeg out of the box. The JIMI has an extensive support of many other formats, and it will be an alternative if the graphics department won't give us a new set of cursor images in gif/jpg format.
Thanks so much.

IPhoto preferences - delete images from camera after upload???

Is there a preference setting in iPhoto 6 to delete images from my camera's card after upload? Can't find it...

Hi, buzzworms. Yes, it's there — but don't use it.
Too many users of iPhoto have selected that option and then had an import go awry for some reason, only to discover afterward that even though the pictures weren't successfully imported, the card was erased and the pictures were gone.
Much better to leave that option deselected, so the contents of your card aren't changed by your Mac whether or not they've been imported successfully. It's free insurance against the loss of your pictures. Erasing the card in your camera only takes a moment after you've confirmed that the pictures are safely stored in iPhoto's library.

Empty folders (from previews) after removing files

I see that LR still creates a separate folder for every preview, and that all the folders remain on disk even after you've removed images from the library, leaving hundreds or thousands of empty folders behind. On the PC, there is a freeware app called RED (remove empty directories) that works well. Run it on the Lightroom folder in My Pictures.

Thanks Frank for your prompt reply, when I click empty trash, it got rid of all the pictures in trash, but on the empty folders, however whe i exited the program adn restarted it again, the folders were gone as well.
Thanks again for your help

Deleting images from iPad after they were imported w/Camera Connector Kit

so I loaded images on my iPad using the camera kit and subsequently copied those over to my Mac using Aperture. How do I now remove the images from the iPad itself? I see no way to delete the Last Import or All Imported albums. It's not practical to use the delete option in the Photo App as I would have to manually delete hundreds of pictures. Using Image Capture on the Mac does not seem to be a better option.
Thanks in advance.

I posted this on another thread, I hope it is of some help
Firstly, I am assuming you have a copy of these images stored safely elsewhere ?
What I am going to describe is not the most elegant way of deleting your images, it is a variation of deleting one at a time but much swifter.
Open the photo app on the iPad, select the left hand photo button which should then display all the thumbnails of the images you have on your iPad, click the top right hand button with the arrow, on the left three buttons appear, one of which is delete. If you put your finger on the first image you want to delete the blue & white arrow is seen, without taking your finger from the screen run your finger over the other thumbnails and in succession the tick will be seen against the images, the delete button will show the number of images you have selected, when you are satisfied click the delete button.
As I said not elegant !
