Saving an image with altered metadata corrupts it

When I apply a set of metadata by Nikon NX2 and then save the image on iPhoto, then it becomes impossible to open it again: the error I receive is the following (in Italian):
Impossibile caricare il file: Macintosh        HD/Utenti/fbartolom/Immagini/iPhoto        Library/Masters/2010/03/20/20100320-121339/DSC_6029_5.NEF        Formato colore non valido. Il formato del file non è supportato.
Please not that if I just save the image on the disk the problem does not surface, neither if later I import it to iPhoto and open it again.
So there must be a glitch in the direct saving from NX2 to iPhoto. Has anyone some cue on what is the problem and how to solve it? Of course saving each image and importing them again should be a little of an overkill.

Yes, I am using it since I bough it nearly 3 years ago without any problem. Frankly I am non sure I understood what you said: so I explain what I do and what iPhoto and NX2 do:
1) I click modify on a NEF image in iPhoto 11.
1') iPhoto duplicated the photo and launches NX2 on this duplicated photo.
2a) I edit the picture and Save the image.
2a') iPhoto 11 correctly opens this latter image - I will have to manually delete the original photo.
2b) I enter the metadata in the image on NX2 and SAVE.
2b') iPhoto reports an error when I try to re-open the saved NEF file.

  • Saving Binary Image with Overlay?

    Hi
    I'm having some issues saving an image with overlay information. I'm using IMAQ Find Circles to measure the radii of holes in a binary image. The hole data is then used with IMAQ Overlay Oval, to draw on ovals to highlight the circles detected. Works fine and the image is shown as expected in the image output on screen, pallette is set to binary. (See second image of 3, below)
    When I try and save the image to PNG I just get a blank (black) image. If I use the IMAQ Merge Overlay tool, I just get the green circles on the black (see last image of 3 below). Is there something I'm missing with pallettes/merging? Any help much appreciated. Snapshot of (messy) code attached.
    Solved!

    The problem is the binary image is all zeroes and ones.  A normal image goes up to 255, so a value of 1 looks black.
    One solution is to multiply the binary image by 255, which makes the image black and white.

  • Smart Collection for images with changed metadata not written to disk?

    The thumbnails in the grid view have a little icon in the upper right corner when the metadata for the file has been changed but not written to the XMP (or whatever) files.
    Is it possible to create a LR2 Smart Collection, or maybe a filter, that will find all such images?

    Dave, good to know that Ctrl-S on everything will write it all out.
    John, I *hate* being blind about what is going on. So I can Ctrl-S on everything and get it all written out. But I can't tell how many images I have changed, or perhaps also sort them by type so I can see what kinds of files will have to be rewritten. I can't even tell if I've remembered to do a Ctrl-S and whether there are images with data only in the catalog and not in the XMP etc. files.
    I'm one of those who are more comfortable if everything that can be recorded in XMP is recorded there. But I don't want to leave auto-write to XMP on while re-organizing everything.

  • Push image with Podcast - metadata required?

    Hi there,
    I am testing out my new podcast within iTunes.
    I have my RSS feed, and within iTunes I have done the following:
    - Go to the "Advanced" menu
    - Click "Subscribe to a podcast"
    Once I enter the URL to my RSS file, the file begins to download in iTunes.
    Once the file is successfully downloaded, I right-click on it in my podcast menu, and choose "Get Info". This is where my problem is. There is no album artwork available.
    I know that I can manually add atrwork as an end user, but I don't want that.
    I want to send out the image with the podcast, so that it is automatically downloaded and entered in the album atrwork space.
    I have subscribed to many podcasts manually that seem to send out an image which is automatically downloaded and entered in the image artwork area.
    Can anyone tell me know this is done? Is this specified in the XML file? I'm a little confused.
    Any help would be great.
    Kind regards

    Hi there,
    Its the "Cover Art" that isn't working. I added the artwork to the mp3 file through iTunes music library, and I then re-uploaded the mp3 file to the server (with the artwork attached). I then manually subscribed to the RSS feed. The mp3 downloaded successfully, but the artwork was still not included when I right clicked on the track and chose "Get info". It seems to be getting stripped out somewhere, but I can't figure out where.
    I am waiting to see if my podcast is submitted to iTunes....I only did it yesterday. It can take 5 days can't it? Here it is: www.jonathanpilling.co.uk/kubik.xml
    Thanks for any advice.

    I can't help you but here's an exercise for you. When you get an exception you can't explain yourself, try posting it in Google. With a catch: remove anything from the error message that is specific to you like a classname or a specific value.
    In this case there is nothing specific in the error message so try a search for "javax.imageio.IIOException: Metadata components != number of destination bands". One thing is for sure: you're not the first to run into this error.

  • I've been editing images with ease for a long time but now the changes are not being saved.

    I've been editing images with ease for a long time but now the changes are not being saved.
    Also, it is not liking me adding a large ammount of images in one go?

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Illustrator hangs when saving .ai files with linked or embedded images

    Hi,
    Currently I have a huge problem with Adobe Illustrator. When I place an image file inside an Illustrator document, the program freezes for about 45 seconds when saving. In the beginning I though it was just because my image file was too big, but that wasn't the case.
    To test what's going on I created a new document, drew a few lines and saved. No problem, Illustrator saved immediately. Then I placed a bigger image and suddenly Illustrator hang when saving. I repeated this with a very small GIF of just a few kB and again, Illustrator hang for nearly a minute when saving the image. I tried embedding the image instead of linking it, but I still got the same results.
    Then I turned of the visibility of the image object by clicking on the little eye symbol in front of the image object and suddenly Illustrator was able to save quickly again. The next thing I wanted to try was turning off compression and PDF compatibility, but then I noticed that Illustrator is actually hanging BEFORE writing the file to disk. When I hit "Save as" Illustrator asked me where to save the new file and then after clicking "Save" it hang (showing "(Not Responding)" in the title bar). About 45 seconds later the save options dialog came up and when I clicked "OK" it saved the file immediately.
    Does anybody know what the problem might be? I'm using Illustrator CS5 on Windows 7 x64. The computer is a notebook with 8GB RAM and a switchable graphics card. I tried this on both the integrated Intel graphics unit and on the much more powerful AMD chip. The hard driver I'm saving to is the local hard drive (no network drive etc.).
    This is a more or less fresh installation (I haven't used Illustrator before on this notebook) and I can't remember that I had the same problem on my workstation where I used it inside a virtual machine (which doesn't exist anymore).

    Yeah, I know that changing the mode results in different colors. I just switched back and forth to check out what's going on.
    For CMYK I'm using ECI profiles which are common in Europe and for RGB the normal Adobe RGB 1998 profile. The profiles are synced between all Creative Suite products. I tried sRGB and some of the default profiles which shipped with CS5 but it produces the same result. I also deleted my whole Illustrator profile but without success.
    My graphics card doesn't have any updates. But it would be very unlikely anyway that both drivers for both cards had the same issue. If it has something to do with my graphics cards it's more likely the switchable graphics in general.

  • Exporting Images With Only Specific Metadata

    How do I export images from Aperture with only specific metadata. Example: I want to export my images with only the copyright IPTC metadata (and maybe the keywords or contact info etc., but I don't want the world to see the EXIF data.
    Aperture manual (page 507 I think) says to do this I need to make a separate version with only the metadata I want to appear. Er right? How does one do that then Apple!? I know how to make another version by the way, but how can I switch off/strip the exif, but keep the IPTC? Surely the monment I tick the include metadata checkbox in the Export panel and hit go this EXIF data will be inserted as it is inherent with the file?
    Can anyone enlighten me please?
    Kevin

    Time to hit the Aperture feedback page. If you include metadata, you include the EXIF data.
    About all you could do is export with no metadata, import the new 'stripped' file and then lift-n-stamp the IPTC data onto it, then export that.

  • Crystal Generated PDFs with XMP Metadata attached to Image

    Using Crystal Reports 11 with the .NET runtime. I'm adding images into my document. Those images have XMP metadata attached. However, when the final PDF is generated, I do not see that metadata in the resulting PDF. It seems Crystal Reports is stripping it. How can I get crystal reports to retain the metadata of that image in the resulting PDF document.
    (When you open a PDF document in a text viewer, you can see the metadata of the image as well as the metadata for the PDF itself)
    (Also I'm adding the image by using the insert image feature. Then I use format graphic to specify the path to that image.)

    CR does not export the XMP Metadata into PDF at this time. Perhaps a great suggestion to post in the SAP Idea Place.

  • I want to share a folder of images with a client who is also using bridge. I want the client to be able to edit metadata and rate the image. How can I do this?

    I want to share a folder of images with a client who is also using bridge. I want the client to be able to edit metadata and rate the image. How can I do this?

    Metadata won't be a problem as long as you use Bridge to copy the file from within Bridge to whatever media (flash drive, CD/DVD. email, etc) you plan to use for the sharing.
    I'm not sure about the Label part.  Maybe it will travel along too.

  • How show ONLY images with problems or needing metadata update, etc?

    In LR3, how do I show JUST the images that are waiting for a metadata update on disk?
    Or, more importantly, how do I show images that have a problem - the little box on the top right of the thumbnail with the exclamation point.
    If I have a dozen images out of 50,000 that have an error with "another process has updated the metadata" I want to see JUST THOSE IMAGES
    so I can fix the problem...
    How do I do this?

    Dave, there are two related issues:
    - LR appears to have a number of problems correctly identifying which images have metadata conflicts between the catalog and the files proper:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lr_3_5rc_reproducible_spurious_metad ata_file_needs_to_be_updated
    - LR has no mechanism that allows you to identify just those images with metadata conflicts:

    Please visit these feedback topics and add your vote and opinion.  Adobe pays closer attention to the feedback forum than this one.

  • Saving "Waveform graph" with cursors, set of different colors, in an image file

    Hello:
    I'm trying to save to a file, a waveform of a "waveform graph" that has cursors, which have different colors. When opening the file I can see that the waves are plotted defined color, but the grids and cursors are colored black.
    Someone can tell me what to do, so that the file is saved with the original colors of the "waveform graph"?
    Best Regards

    Probably this is happening because you are using the Invoke node Image Export, which captures an image with less information. However, if your application allows, using the Invoke Node Get Image, which captures your control, displays all the colors of your waveform, include cursors and grids colors.
    In this link bellow, you can see how use this Invoke Node:

  • Issues with saving disc images using Toast 8

    I am having issues saving disc images to my portable hard drive using Toast 8.
    First, I'm attempting to save Dual Layer disc images to my portable hard drive for future use. I turn compression off and select DL DVD above the burn button, and select "save as disc image" from the file menu. As that point the program seem to freeze and I get the whirly-spinning rainbow. After a few minutes a window asks me if I'm buring single or dual layer. I select dual layer. Then a box appears that says "writing ...".
    After it's complete I check the portable hard drive and I've got EIGHT disc images all titled "SAMPLE DISC IMAGE TITLE.TOAST.001" .....002, 003, 004, 005, 006, 007, 008. File numbers 002-008 open in itunes, and file number 1 mounts with an error that will cause Toast to crash.
    This is so weird and confusing.
    When I save the image to the desktop, its saves fine. BUT, when I try to copy it to the portable hard drive it gets all the way to the end and reports an error message.
    Please help. Thanks
    17 inch PowerBook G4 1.67Mhz 80 GB   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   External HD: Lacie Portable 100gb

    After several weeks of searching and an error code 1309 I discovered the issue is not with TOAST but with my external hard drive. The drive format is FAT32 which does not allow single files to be transfered in excess of 4gb. I was attempting to create disc images of dual layered dvd's which can be up to 8 gb. Since the drive was incapable of accepting a file that size it created seperate files that made up the size of the original file.
    Example: 7.8gb file transfered to FAT32 external LACIE drive. Lacie creates 8 files: 7 are 1gb, 1 is .8gb.
    There is probably a program that could put these files back together but I've already experienced too great of an ordeal.
    Unless the user needs the external drive for use on a PC & MAC there is not a reason to have the format of the drive set to FAT32.
    I will be using Disk Utility to reformat the drive to "HFS+" in hopes to solve this problem.

  • When I try to open a saved image with the "htm" file extension all I get is a page of gibberish text.

    I have the new Snow Leopard system on my iMac. I saved several images from an art site. The file extension on each image is "htm". when I try to open each image all I get is gibberish tpye text.
    Can convert these "images" to jpeg files so I can view and edit them?
    thanks

    If the images have a .htm(l) file extension then you need to rename the files and give them an image file extension like .jpg<br />
    That should be sufficient to make programs recognize them as images.
