"Rough" GIF export from ActionScript 3 files impossible?

Hello,
I just upgraded from Flash CS3 to Flash CS5, and I've been playing with the various new features. However, I've just encountered an odd problem that I can't seem to find a solution to.
In the past, I've made animated GIFs in CS3 by exporting them with the "Smooth" box unchecked. This was really convenient for me because not only could I export crisp pixel bitmaps from Flash, but I could edit it in another program later. I was planning on making some GIF animations via this process with the aid of the bone tool in CS4 and 5.
When I tried exporting frames of of a figure created with the bone tool in CS5, however, I got images that were fuzzy and often had distorted colors. After some time, I realized that this was because in CS3, I had exported the images from ActionScript 2 files, while the bone tool only works in ActionScript 3 files.
Is it not possible to export "rough" GIFs from ActionScript 3 files, or is there a trick to doing that that I'm somehow missing?

I'm sorry for not making it clear in my initial post, but it doesn't matter whether I create an image using the bone tool or not -- any GIF image exported from an AS3 file always has an antialiased appearance, even when the Smooth box is unchecked.
To show you what I mean, here's a simple GIF image I exported from an AS2 file:
Notice that all of the lines are simple and pixellated, with no antialiasing at all. This is the kind of GIF I want to export from an AS3 file.
Now here's the exact same image I exported from an AS3 file, with the exact same export settings:
As you can see, all of the lines look smoothed, even though I made sure the Smooth box was unchecked.
Is there anything I can do to correct this problem?

Is there a way to control the quality of my pdf file when exporting from a .pse file?

Is there a way to control the quality of my pdf file when exporting from a .pse file?
Hi,
I have 2 pages in all in a .PSE file.
When I try to export it as .PDF, the quality is very poor. I cannot change it to a better quality.
Please advise how I can export the file so that i can have better quality.

To expand a little on what Jongware said, normally choosing vector over bitmap will decrease the filesize. If the vector art is very complex though, this will not be true.
Yup, a logo as bitmap takes up more space than the same as a vector -- unless the vector image is bitmap heavy (think Drop Shadow, Outline Glow; these are actually bitmap effects).
Also, check your PDF version. "Older" versions do not support live transparency, the latest do. Then again, you cannot use live transparency if you suspect your viewers may be using Mac OS X, because Apple's own PDF viewer sucks big time.

Export from Aperture builds file structure like projects/albums

Hi!
I use Aperture but also want to use iPhoto (for iLife-Integration - and for the superb presentation facitilities like slideshos with Ken Burns effect etc.).
I´d like to know whether there is a possibility to export from Aperture - perhaps via Automator-script - that the structure of projects, folders, albums, etc. is beeing transferred into the same structure but made of folders. The picture-files themselves should be jpgs.
Can something like that be realized in Automator? Or is there another possibility to get such a result?
regards,
Sandro

When you export versions via the export versions window you have the opportunity to specify the output folder structure for the images.
So for example you can select a subfolder structure using the images year/month/day or the project name or the image year/month etc.
You'll need to look through the options and see what settings will work for you.

Substitution Variable Issue while exporting from Essbase.sec file

Hello All,
I have an unusually distinct problem.
I have 2 environments (Development and Production) where each environment has a seperate server with Essbase installed in it.
When I tried to get information of the Substitution variables using the 'export security_file to data_file' command through MaxL and then checked the output file in Development, it showed me the right number of substitution variables and their values.
But when I did he same with my Production environment it gives exactly 1 less no of substitution variables in the export file, specifically the last substitution variable that was updated through the Essbase Administration Console.
I guess it is not updating the Essbase.sec file with the last updated Substitution variable. But I can't understand why since the same functionality works in development but not in production.
Thank You.

Hi all,
In addition, I exported the Essbase.sec file after a long time after changing the Substitution variable and now it does show the updated substitution variable.
I feel that Essbase does refresh the Essbase.sec file but after a long time. Is there some setting within Essbase that is done which refreshes the artifact files after a while. Or is this a setting within the system in which Essbase has been installed (in my case Linux).
Also the Substitution Variable that has been created is for (all apps) and (all dbs). Is this the reason why this is not working because I tried changing some other Substitution variable which is for a specific app and a specific dbs and it worked fine.
Thank You.

IMPORT & EXPORT from/to compressed files directly...

for newbies a tip to import(export) directly to(from) compressed files using pipes . Its for Unix based systems only, as I am not aware of any pipe type functionality in Windows. The biggest advantage is that you can save lots of space as uncompressing a file makes it almost 5 times or more. (Suppose you are uncompressing a file of 20 GB, it will make 100 GB) As a newbie I faced this problem, so thought about writing a post.
Lets talk about export first. The method used is that create a pipe, write to a pipe(ie the file in exp command is the pipe we created), side by side read the contents of pipe, compress(in the background) and redirect to a file. Here is the script that achieves this:
export ORACLE_SID=MYDB
rm -f ?/myexport.pipe
mkfifo ?/myexport.pipe
cat ?/myexport.pipe |compress > ?/myexport.dmp.Z &
sleep 5
exp file=?/myexport.pipe full=Y log=myexport.logSame way for import, we create a pipe, zcat from the dmp.Z file, redirect it to the pipe and then read from pipe:
export ORACLE_SID=MYDB
rm -f ?/myimport.pipe
mkfifo ?/myimport.pipe
zcat ?/myexport.dmp.Z > ?/myimport.pipe &
sleep 5
imp file=myimport.pipe full=Y show=Y log=?/myimport.logIn case there is any issue with the script, do let me know :)
Experts, please have a look...is it fine ? (Actually I dont have Oracle installed on my laptop(though have Fedora 6) so couldnt test the scripts)
I posted the same on my blog too. just for bookmark ;)

actually, only the compression thing runs in the background. rest proceeds like normal only. just instead of giving normal file we use pipe as a file.
nice article about named pipes

Animated GIF exported from Photoshop is blurry

I have an animated GIF, 400px x 400px, 150dpi. It looks fine in Photoshop, but when I Save for Web and export it, the GIF appears in the browser double the size and blurry. Even if I choose the export settings to be half the size at 200px x 200px, the GIF is still blurry. I thought a retina display might have something to do with it, but when testing on a PC, the GIF is still too large, even though it appears more clear.
What am I doing wrong here? I just want what appears in Photoshop to appear in the browser.

What aspect ratio are the photos in the slideshow? Have you tried cropping them to 3:2?

Half gray screen when i export from HDV movie file to picture

I have captured video in HDV 1080/50i from my Canon A1 camera (in Final Cut Pro) and it plays back clean in Quicktime Pro (7.5.5) but when I try to export a still as JPEG the bottom half of the picture is mid-grey and the top half has a thin grey grid over it. If I subsequently try to open it in Photoshop it says an "invalid JPEG marker type" is found. Am I missing some codec, or is this a setting somewhere in QT?
please help - thanks!

Besides the monitor not being calibrated or a particular photo-viewer program not using complete color management, it is also possible that what you’re seeing is the difference between one program using DirectX and the video card applying the monitor profile verses the other program doing the monitor profile conversion in software only.
This difference might occur if you’ve modified the gamma of some of the video acceleration modes. You might check in the video-card control panel (perhaps in Control Panel or perhaps in your system notifications area) to see if anything has changed the gamma from being a straight line, and in general reset things back to their defaults for your video card.
And you haven’t shown us what your monitor profile is actually set to. Have you done the Windows display calibration process? This isn’t as good as using a hardware calibrator but it is something to check, and once you’ve done this, switch between the new program and the one you’re currently using to see if anything changes.

Single Page PDF Export from InDesign?

We've just started sending our catalogs direct to the printer, rather than sending them through a pre-press house. We've fixed most of the snags, but the biggest pain right now is exporting PDFs to ship to the printer. Right now, we have to go one page at a time - open the spread, export one page, export the other page, close it and go to the next one. Needless to say, that takes a while.
I can export a PDF from the book file. That part is simple enough. But what I would love is to export from my book file and wind up with a PDF broken up into individual pages, which I could then simply upload to the printer. I know I could export the book PDF, then open the book in Acrobat and break it out a page at a time, but that's nearly as prone to errors as the longer way.
I'm thinking a custom script for Acrobat might do this work for me, but I don't know.
If anyone knows how to make this work, it would save us a ton of time.

DeMayne wrote:
Where would the loss in quality come into play? You have the opportunity to open the pdf with all inherited settings, including dpi and bit depth. I've experienced much larger file sizes, but never a loss in quality. My experience would come from creating indesign documents where the images in the book are Photoshop psds or smart objects. Your insight will be useful for future projects.
You've made the assumption that all content in the PDF is raster, all the same resolution, and all in the same color space. Most PDF contains both raster and vector content (like type) that is heavily degraded by opening in Photoshop, and you run a severe risk of changing solid black type to a 4-color mix that is very difficult to print, even it it isn't likely to be jaggy due to rasterization.
PDF saved from Photoshop (with preserve editing capabilities enabled) can be reopened in Photoshop without harm, but not PDF from other sources.

Design and code a new method to be exported from.... (please check my code)

I'm working on my homework problem which is:
Design and code a new method to be exported from ArrayStringLog (the file is given to me) called isEmpty with the following signature public boolean isEmpty()
I created a new class and named it homework2, here is the method:
public class homework2
       public boolean isEmpty()
// Returns true if this StringLog is empty, otherwise returns false.
    if (lastIndex == (- 1))
      return true;
    else
      return false;
}now how can i get it exported from ArrayStringLog? that's the part that I didn't understand
Edited by: memee4eva on Sep 30, 2009 11:53 PM

I think your isEmpty() method should go into the ArrayStringLog class. That way the method will be exposed by the altered ArrayStringLog class.
Am I right in thinking that an ArrayStringLog instance has a lastIndex member?
You might like to compare what you have with this:
    /** Returns true iff this StringLog is empty. */
public boolean isEmpty()
    return lastIndex == -1;
}

WLDL files exported from XI 2.0 not valid for Web Service Clients

Hi there,
Im struggling for almost a week with a <b>BAPI WSDL file</b> exported from the XI repository. My scenario is very simple; A BAPI in R/3 exposed as web service through XI using the SOAP adapter.
The intention was to generate a Web Service Client based on this WSDL file, unfortunately I get all kind of errors when trying to generate the client. (using tools like, SOAPScope, XML Spy and WebSphere Developer Studio none of this tools can validate the generated WSDL file obtained from XI)
Can someone <b>Please explain</b> me how/what exaclty do I have to do in order to expose my BAPI as Web Service in XI 2.0? Or Please tell me if this is just impossible in this version of XI.
Thanks a lot!
Rob.

Hi Rob,
It seems that when exporting to a WSDL file from the Repository, <service> and <binding> are missing from the structure.
A way to work this out is to either add them maually, or to create the WSDL from the Directory, using the Create End Point as Webservice in the Tools menu.
When you do that, consider a couple of things:
1. The message interface, by which you create the wsdl should be inbound. The message interface in the scenario should be outbound.
2. In the binding section, the produced url is of the intergration server, and you need to change it to that defined in the SOAP adapter configuration.
Hope this helps.

Exporting from JSP into PowerPoint or an Image file

I am having a JSP file, the data from which need to be exported into a PowerPoint presentation. Can you suggest me some code examples of exporting the data from JSP to PowerPoint or rather to an image (.gif or .jpg), this image file can then be inserted into the PowerPoint.
I tried exporting to Excel and from there Copy+Paste but this leaves a chance of modifying the data, the other option I used was exporting the data into a .pdf file, but we are currently having Acrobat Reader 4.0 in which there is no Graphic selection tool unless I use the full version.
My first preference is to export the data into PowerPoint or if that does not work then into an image file.
Would be helpful if you have some code examples to look at or if you can guide to some useful sites that can help me in achieving this.
Thanks in advance...

For exporting the data into .ppt files try the following.
Set the content type for the jsp as "application/ms-powerpoint"
and whatever HTML u have would be sent to the ppt.

Saving PSD files after exporting from Lightroom saves incorrectly

I've only recently moved to Lightroom from using Photoshop/Bridge together, so I'm not 100% sure how saving files exported from Lightroom should go. But here's what I experience:
Base edit of file within Lightroom
In library view, right click on image -> Edit in -> Open as Smart Object in Photoshop
Perform all my necessary edits and such
File -> Save As, and save it to another location as a PSD file (totally different HDD)
Perform more edits....
Shortcut CTRL+S to save, and it saves it as the TIFF file under the location it was originally in within Lightroom
Eh...? Am I missing something. It should just save as the original PSD I created when I went "Save As". I have seen on a few occasions, immediately after "Save As", the file name resorts back to TIFF and not as PSD.
My settings for External Editing in Lightroom are as follows:
File Format: TIFF
Color Space: ProPhoto RGB
Bit Depth: 16 bits/component
Resolution: 300
Compression: None
Does anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Also, to note, that sometimes I double click on the Smart Object within Photoshop to load Camera Raw and perform some edits, but not often.

Re Camera Raw being used to pass an image to Photoshop
a) I am assuming this is independent of the Compatibility level in Preferences\File Handling DNG creation.
b) Does the same apply to other photo editing software made by Adobe like Elements?.
Reply: Yes, the principle is the same. Photoshop Elements cannot read raw data either. That's why it has to be converted before it's opened.
c) Assume that I have LR 5.7.1 and CS5. Is Camera Raw is still used to pass an image to Photoshop? If so, why is there a need to get LR to behave differently?
Reply: Camera Raw is used IF you choose the option to open anyway. Then Camera Raw will be used to convert the image that's opened in Photoshop. But since it is older than Lightroom some of the new adjustments might not be transferred to Photoshop. That's why there is a need to let the user make the choice.
d) Sometimes it does seem as if Adobe might be using Camera Raw updates and process version updates to get consumers to change their habits, this includes having to buy subscriptions or having to change workflow to some ideal that somebody at Adobe or working with Adobe might have in mind.
Reply: The fact is that in the past, when a new version of Photoshop is released then all support and updates cease for the previous version. Since the introduction of the creative cloud, at least users of Photoshop CS6 get support for new cameras. They just don't get the new features. Yes, there's motivation to upgrade. Adobe is a business. What do you really expect?
Re stacks
I find impossible to see collapsed stacks on the film strip. Stacks are only visible on the Library module and using a grid view; I don't say clearly visible because they are only recognisable by the label at the top left corner with the image count; I don't even think it is possible to change the colour of that label or the grey colour surrounding an image. Also I cannot name stacks. If I could name stacks, see them as virtual folders underneath a library folder and make them glaringly visible I would use them extensively.
Reply: The only reason I can think of that you are unable to see collapsed stacks on the filmstrip is if you have the filmstrip reduced in size to the point that Lightroom can't display all the icons. I'm able to see the collapsed stacks in the library grid view and on my filmstrip
Re storing your Raw files and processed files in separate locations
Assuming Raw files are negatives and Photoshop files are transparencies or prints, would you want negatives being handled/read on a regular basis? If anything happens to your negatives, you would never be able to produce another print or another transparency again.
Reply: The raw files or the negatives, as you put it, are never modified by Lightroom. They always remain in their pristine state they were in when they were imported. If I have a backup of that raw file then I can do whatever I want to the one in my working folder. Resetting that raw file so that it looks unaltered is just a click away.
I have worked extensively with databases and database systems, it is a standard feature of database systems to be able to choose where to store different database objects. I don't see why LR cannot do the same, it is a database after all. I do agree with both the OP and photo.
Reply: Well, I won't argue that point. If that's what you really want than lobby for it. It just won't get my vote because I don't see any real advantage.
If you read back through this quoted message you'll find that my replies are included. I don't know how to separate them out so they are highlighted properly. Read through it and think about it. But personally, I don't want to waste anymore time on this discussion because it isn't accomplishing anything in my opinion.

How do I link to Anchor Text from browser to PDF file exported from InDesign?

I see that this question was asked previously but not answered:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3737541
I need a way to link to topics (from an HTML page) within a structured PDF file generated from InDesign, i.e. one that has an interactive bookmarks
panel, that doesn't break the links when the file is updated.
In particular, I don't want to refer to:
* page numbers because the document will repaginate when it is updated, breaking existing links
* named destinations that are numeric as addition/deletion of topics renumbers the named destinations, breaking the links.
Is there any option in InDesign that creates named destinations derived from bookmark titles as that would seem to solve my problem?
I have a similar need, but I have not been able to find an answer anywhere online, even after a several hours of research.
I am on contract with General Electric to develop a UI Style Guide for an international team of developers. My client wants to be able to distribute the Style Guide as a PDF document, but needs to provide links to specific topics when submitting a "Story" in an Agile development environment to the programmers.
Ideally, I would like to be able to create "named destinations" in InDesign such that I can provide the client with a list of URLs similar to this format:
file:\\StyleGuide\Test1-20131024a.pdf\#nameddest=AnchorText-01
However, I can not figure out how to create "named destinations" in the PDF file from the InDesign file in which I have created the Anchor Text in the Hyperlinks tab.
Alternately, the client would be satisfied with the ability to link to specific bookmarks in the exported PDF file that have been derived from the configuration of the Table of Contents styles, but my research has led me to believe that it is not possible to hyperlink from a browser window to a bookmark in a PDF file (only to specific page numbers, search word lists, named destinations, and comments) as described here: http://blogs.adobe.com/tcs/2011/01/tcs-specific/linking-to-a-page-within-a-pdf-and-more.ht ml
Having been using InDesign since 1988, when it was PageMaker, I would prefer to use it to provide GE with the most attractive deliverable, but they are now leaning heavily toward having me licensed with Madcap Flare, which has this capability built in:

Please help me to find a solution that will allow me to continue using InDesign for this project.

Follow-up post (solution is not available):
I have just completed a phone call with Gaurev Sethi of Adobe escalated technical support in which I shared my screen to explain and demonstrate the desire to link from an external URL to a specific location within a PDF file that has been exported from InDesign. After 40 minutes, during which I was placed on hold a few times while he consulted with his team, it was determined that the desired functionality is not supported in InDesign and has been identified as a limitation of the software.
In researching alternate documentation software that supports PDF export, I discovered that Madcap Software supports this functionality in its Flare product:
http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare9/Default.htm#Nav_Links/Named_Destinations/Creating _Named_Destinations.htm
Note that linking via URL to a bookmarked location within a PDF is not supported:
