Screen image capture

How can I capture a screen image from my iMac and send it to my iPhone?

To take a picture of the screen see;
Once you have the image file, right click it and choose Share. Pick the method you want to send it to the phone.
You could also import the image into iPhoto (if you have it) and place it into the photo stream.

OS X LION Issues with Full-Screen; iPhoto, Image Capture & Mail

Hello,
I'm experiencing un-Apple-like issues (bugs) with Lion in Full-Screen mode.
For example - iPhoto doesn't seem to like Full-Screen mode. If iPhoto is open and I connect a camera, for which I prefer Image Capture to retrieve my pics... Image Capture opens 'behind' the full-screen iPhoto, but I can't get to it. Image Capture shows as open on the menu bar in iPhoto's full-screen mode. If I go to the desktop (where it should be opening) Image Capture isn't 'on top' and clicking it takes me back to iPhoto full-screen
Similarly, if I get mail and return to the desktop (the only way to see the dock) and I click on the 'Mail' app icon - I am catapulted into Image Capture... or iPhoto. Returning to the Desktop to click the Mail icon from the dock... takes me to Image Capture... or iPhoto. The 3rd try takes me to the Mail.app which is usually always open and in full-screen mode.
While I'm complaining about bugs, I'd like to mention that I am fully dismayed by the loss of control in full-screen mode when using apps such as Mail or iPhoto. The Mail app opens an email to edit (such as a reply) but you can't access any other mail docs to 'cut and paste' info from. I can only click SEND or CANCEL.
What if I don't want to CANCEL? I just want to go to another email and cut a piece to paste.. I have to exit full-screen mode which allows me to open two email documents at once, then cut and paste. Essentially Mail in Full-Screen is only a reader... not a work area. I can only access the document I have open, since it greys out the Message Viewer. You can't click on the message viewer nor access any of the features of Mail.app. You can only write your email and either Cancel or Send. Where is the 'hold on a second while I go cut and paste'? I don't want to cancel.
Can't seem to use Safari since I'm constantly three-finger swiping it away. My cursor hovers over a text field and suddenly it's zooming in and locks text input. I have to iPhone-like swipe to expand to exit this inadvertent partial (very slight) zoom. Sometimes the zoom is so partial that I can't figure out what's going on until I just exit full-screen mode, close the window and start over.
Seems like I'm starting over and over and over... just to do simple things. Inadvertent zooming, inadvertent 3-finger returning to Desktop, inadvertent changing apps... ugh.
I'm willing to let go of the old and embrace the new future but so far it's been pretty uncomfortable for me to constantly monitor my overly sensitive trackpad gesturing combined with constant bugs and glitches. I'll save complaining about iPhoto's over-simplification (apparently for dummies) like the new Edit menu, Export menu, etc.. since it's more iLife than Lion related. Rate Lion: 2 out of 5 stars for ease of use & features complicated by unrefined software issues.

I've tried follwoing these instructions but I have an issue with
# Create snort user. The intention is to let user snort have access only to the snort database.
$ sudo createuser -U _postgres -P snort

It keeps telling me "could not connect to database postgres: could not connect to server: No such file or directory"

Help! Image Capture scanning detected images solid black! Screen cap inside.

I know this is not a forum for Image Capture, but there is no dedicated forum for it, and I figure there are smarter people here with regards to images.
Image Capture is scanning ~some~ detected images solid black. It presents an overview scan just fine, but than the final files are black.
Here is a screen capture:

iPhoto earlier than iPhoto 9 (11) does not support Grayscale because it adds a color profile name Dot Gain 20%. This profile is not compatible with iPhoto. You can either rescan those photos as color photos or change the profile to sRGB or RGB.
I've created an Automator workflow application, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile, that will convert B/W files to a jpg file with the sRGB profile. However, is doing so it adds an additional jpeg compression level to the file resulting is a smaller file size but not a smaller image size. You can download it from Toad's Cellar.
The conversion will have to be done on the photos outside of iPhoto before they are imported. So you will have to export the original files to a folder on the Desktop, run the application on them and then reimport the new files.

Cannot Capture Screen Image via Organizer in Xcode

Hi all:
I am trying to capture a screen image of my iPhone web app using the organizer's screenshot feature in Xcode.
When I attempt it, it gives me the following error:
"Could not communicate with the device, connection failed"
I've tried using different USB cables and still get the same error. Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Dan Uff

If you're trying to Screen Cap your phone, just hold the home button and press-and-release the power button. This will drop a screen capture to your photos in the phone. If you're trying to screen cap your machine, Shift-Command-4 then draw around the area you want to capture.

Capturing a screen image (not print screen)

Basically I am wondering if there is a way to grab or capture what is on the screen at the time, with java. And I dont mean like manually do it with print screen, i mean having java do it.
Thank You

Did you try searching the forum before posting your question?
Using a couple of keywords from your topic "screen image" I found a solution in the second posting I read. Problem solved in less than a minute.

Pictures from my Sony HDR-CX110 uploads easy in image capture but how do i upload videos? I don't even see my videos anywhere on the screen! I'm puzzled.

Photo Stream does not do videos. For videos, you must import to your computer. You can use iPhoto to import them.

IMovie 6 HD - TV Screen Images are blurred

How do I created iMovie DVD that plays clear images and text?
I do not want to keep wasting DVDs experimenting for clear result.
I created iMovie per instructions from another post:
imported screenshots of website using KenBurns effect;
set the effect to 1.0 to stop zooming, and did not allow iMovie to render movie when exporting.
Discussion indicated that blurred image in iMovie would be clear on TV screen.
Imported snapshots were crystal clear in Preview and Photoshop.
Imported iMovie to iDVD and burned DVD.
DVD plays blurred images and text.

Are you saying I should size any still images at 768x576 pix before importing them into iMovie since that is TV resolution?
If you are using PAL, yes. For NTSC, the resolution is 640x480 pixels.
Does it matter what dpi the images are?
No, the dpi is of NO concern in video.
If snapshot captures screen images at 72dpi,
does it help to increase dpi of image in Photoshop?
No.
or is that only interpolating dpi since capture was at 72dpi?
Yes.

How can I control dpi when importing with Image Capture?

This is not really an iPhoto question, but there is no forum for Image Capture - and I am hoping some iPhoto user has discovered a solution.
I usually import my digital camera images into a folder using Image Capture, apply Photoshop corrections, THEN move the adjusted and re-named images to iPhoto for organization and storage.
When I open the images for the first time in Photoshop, the Image Size box always shows the resolution as 72 dpi. I can easily convert this to 300 dpi in Photoshop, but I would prefer to avoid the extra step for every photo.
So far, I have not been able to find any setting in either my camera menus or Image Capture to change the default from 72 dpi to 300 dpi - any suggestions?
I am using Image Capture v3.0.3, Mac OS v10.4.11 and iPhoto v7.1.5
thanks,

Old Toad said: "If these services printed your files at 72 dpi you would end up with very large prints."
Obviously - which is exactly what I want to avoid!
In fact Photoshop tries to do that, warning me: "The image is larger than the paper's area, some clipping will occur."
Terence Delvin said: "When you print the density of those pixels will determine the quality of the print. So, change the density and the dimensions change. Change the dimensions and the density changes. See the relationship?"
Yes, I understand all that perfectly.
I guess my real question should have been:
"Are there any print services or page-layout-type software applications that honor the exif data and try to print or re-size using a print resolution of 72 dpi without making the user re-define the density to something more print friendly?
For example:
I have a 3936x2624 pixel image for which Photoshop's Get Info shows the print resolution as 72 dpi. If I drag that image into a Microsoft Word document, then Word does some kind of magic resizing to fit the image on the width of my 8.5x11" document. With margins, the image is now about 4x6". Looks good on my screen (but then even a 72 dpi image would, wouldn't it).
Obviously, MS Word downsized the image, but I can't find any way to make Word show me what print resolution it is choosing to assign to the resized image. It looks fine when printed, so I'm pretty sure that, in this case, something higher than 72 dpi was used.
If ALL software of this type (word processing and page layout) automatically ignores the 72 dpi print resolution in the EXIF data when resizing, then it's a non-issue, as you suggest. Lacking, much real world experience with print-based projects, I wasn't sure if it was something to worry about - apparently not?

Warning: iOS 8 Resized My Images When Exporting Via Image Capture

I have an iPad Air and I take lots of pictures. I installed iOS 8 last night. I don't like the lack of a Photo Stream and a Camera Roll, but I am willing to try new things, so I decided to clear out all the images from my iPad and start from scratch. Unfortunately, I've run into a pretty bad reproducible bug.
First I copied all the Moments (i.e. Camera Roll) Photos on the iPad to my Mac using the Image Capture app. I've been doing this for years. Everything came out fine with those photos.
I also had several iCloud shared albums so I decided to start over with them as well. Hmm, how to copy them over to my Mac? I tapped one picture and tapped "Share -> Save Image". OK that worked! So to save some time I tapped "Select" and then tapped all the pictures in the folder. Once again I tapped "Share -> Save 20 Images". Worked fine. Deleted the shared album. Did this with five other albums. Now everything is clean and I can start figuring out how this works from scratch.
OR SO I THOUGHT. Once the pictures were on my Mac, I realized the pictures I exported one at a time were fine, but the ones I exported in groups came out at odd low resolutions - 257 x 342, 256 x 384, 268 x 332, instead of the full resolution of the original pictures.
Luckily I had copies of all these pictures backed up, but this is not appropriate behavior. There was no warning that the pictures would be saved at a lower resolution. I'm not even sure the Photos app "meant" to do this. Why weren't the full sized images exported? Has anyone else had this experience? Could someone check and see if this is happening on their iPad?

The photos in this thread are the same exported files that are in the slideshow. As you advance through the slideshow(try looking at the shadows to right of the subject and his sunglasses), you'll see a change in tone/saturation that, however subtle, is quite alarming for a consistent workflow.
I always work with calibrated display profiles, and was told by Aperture Pro support to try the export with a standard, device independent profile to rule out a display profile related issue. I told them on the phone that while I'd try it, that would not be a viable solution long term for me, or any other professional, as different screens need to have independent, calibrated profiles for a consistent working environment.
That said, regardless of the display profile(I tried multiple scenarios - including calibrated profiles), the exported file is always the same on the same machines - and as I said before, distinctly unique to each machine. The display profile should have nothing to do with it anyways, as that is simple a translation of the the 'static' data onto a specific screen. I'm not saying the screens look different to me, I'm saying that the exported files are different when viewed together on any one screen.
These are all fresh installs of the same download; no settings in the software have been changed, except for what I've detailed above. The processing of the color/export should be the same from the same file in the same library with the same adjustments and the same software settings, but it's not.
Can anyone try this same test in another environment? Or does anyone know how Aperture might leverage hardware perhaps in it's processing of color?

Image Capture and Preview: bad PDF page size

When scanning to a PDF document with Image Capture, the resulting PDF always has an enormous page size. For example, a 3"x3" image scanned at 300dpi will appear as a 12.5"x12.5" page in the PDF. Scanning at 72dpi will create the appropriate size page, but the file is (of course) unsuitable for printing due to the low resolution. It's as if Image Capture (or the PDF creation routine) assumes the image is 72dpi even if it was scanned higher than that.
Similar behavior can be seen in the Preview app. Use the following steps to reproduce:
1. Open a decent quality image from a digital camera.
2. Choose Tools Menu -> Adjust Size...
3. Be sure both "Scale proportionally" and "Resample image" are selected.
4. Change the Resolution to 300 pixels/inch, change the Width to 3 inches and click OK.
5. Choose File Menu -> Save As...
6. Change the format to PDF, choose a location and file name to your liking, and click Save
7. Open the new document in Preview and check the page size (Tools Menu -> Inspector)
Inexplicably, the page size is now 12.5 inches wide. I understand what it's doing, but I don't know why. The math is simple. Take the 3x3 inch example above: 3in * 300ppi = 900px / 72ppi = 12.5in
I feel it's very bad form for the software to assume you always work in "screen resolution" (72dpi). The PDFs the software makes is next to useless for archival purposes because of the incorrect size markings.
Anyone know of an alternative application to scan to PDF docs? The scanner's TWAIN software is not an option because it's PPC and won't run under Rosetta. How about an application that creates PDF documents from image files (besides Acrobat)? Best would be a way to fix the behavior or Apple's software.
Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem long ago. Apple is not doing anything to fix this problem

Problem with Image Capture Download Folders

Hi there - I was wondering if anyone might be able to help with a problem I'm having with Image Capture (version 3.0.3 (333))?
I use image capture to download photos from my digital camera and normally have no problems.
When I tried to do some downloads this morning, my normal list of folders in the "Download to" drop-down box is completely blank. It didn't even have the "Other" option to chose a folder. The Automatic Task drop down was also blank, I could not open preferences and in the "options" box, the ColourSync profile would not load anything.
I could not download the photos to anywhere - when I tried to "download some" it gave me an error message saying that I need to choose a download folder, but of course I am unable to do this.
This morning I tried repairing permissions in disk utilities, and removing the com.apple.imagecaptureapplist file and rebooting as suggested here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10368631&#10368631
but that hasn't worked completely. I can now download the photos but they just automatically go to the "Pictures". At least I can download them now, but if I can get the two drop down boxes working again, and the other things working (preferences etc), that would be great.
One other thing, about a month ago I foolishly tried to rename my Home Folder without doing it the proper way. I had thought I had gotten everything back to normal with my library etc, but maybe there are a few unknown implications still out there, and this is one of them as I don't think I have tried to download any photos since then.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Antony

Hi and thanks again
OK:
1. I found the photo and have put it back as the login page icon as close as I could to what it used to look like..
2. I trashed the user's .com.apple.systempreference file but it didn't work.
3. I then copied my .com.apple.systempreference file to their library>preferences folder but no luck.
4. Finally, I noticed the other user account had no system preferences file in their "Applications" folder. So I copied the system preferences file from my application folder across and used that to open system preferences, and that has seemed to fix it, ie. system preferences now opens directly from the apple menu.
So I am noticing a few things now:
5. The other user's "Applications" folder doesn't have many applications in it. It only has:
- Utilities
- Adobe Version Cue CS2
- Real Player
- iTunes (which was only downloaded there recently - post Home Folder name change I think)
- Imagecapture which I copied there yesterday
- and now System preferences
6. This is compared to my user account applications folder which has loads of other files in it, eg. Preview, Stuffit Expander, iDVD, iChat, Calculator, Chess, Skype, etc etc etc. I just can't remember if this was the case before the Home Folder rename.
7. Now, my user account used to be the only admin account, so it makes sense that my "Applications Folder" has more in it because programs could only have been downloaded there for a long time. The other person's user account has only been an admin account much more recently - say in the last year and very few applications (if any) would have been downloaded there.
8. Interestingly, while the other user account doesn't have the Skype or Preview file in their "Applications" folder, it does appear in their bar along the bottom of the screen that has the dashboard and finder icons (is this called the dock?).
9. Anyway, if you are in the other user's account and you click on Skype, iCal, Word or Preview in their Dock for example, those programs open no problem so the dock icons must somehow have survived the Home Folder renaming and stayed linked to the corresponding files in my "Applications" folder? But some other programs, eg. system preferences, image capture etc didn't survive it and became "delinked".
10. I also notice internetconnect still works in the other user account, even though there is no internetconnect file in that user's "Applications" folder.
11. So it seems that some links between the other user and my account have been severed, and some have survived.
Some other information:
12. Everything that was on the other user's desktop appears to have been recovered since the Home Folder debacle (I think getting the Library back helped this?), and I managed to redo the desktop picture/wallpaper.
13. I'm not sure if it is relevant, but in my account, Finder has a side bar on the left that is divided into an upper section and a lower section. The lower section has my home folder, a documents folder, a desktop folder, a pictures folder etc. On the upper section it has the macintosh disk icon, and also a Network Icon (that contains a library file and another file which I can't remember just now but can let you know if that helps). The other user account does not have the Network icon however. Do you think this might make a difference?
14. In addition to the other user account there is also a guest account on this computer which has suffered the same problems, eg. not being able to open imagecapture or systempreferences. However, when I fixed the problems in the other user account by copying over the imagecapture and system preferences files from my account to the other user account, the problems in the guest account were automatically fixed!
15. So it seems the guest login is somehow linked to the fixes in the other user account, but the other user account and the guest account are suffering some problems with links to my user account. Perhaps the latter was badly broken with the Home Folder rename incident?
16. Finally, if you go into Finder while in the other user's account, you can navigate to the applications folder in my account and access all the applications there, ie. Macintosh HD>Users>MyHomeFolderName>Applications. My applications folder is not blocked like some of the other ones, eg. Library, Desktop, Pictures etc.
17. Is there someway to re-establish the link between the other user account and my application's folder? I don't want to copy all the applications across even if I can do that, because it just takes up more space on the HD, but if that is all that can be done, then I will consider doing it...
Thanks again BDAqua!

Video out to CRT yields entire screen image repeating

I have posted this problem before with no luck. I'm trying again in the hopes someone can offer a suggestion, or determine if my Powerbook needs servicing. The guy at the Apple Store didn't have much to offer.
The laptop's LCD display works fine. But when I extend my screen to a CRT with the video out on the card, I get my entire screen image repeating and fading off to the right. This makes for difficult text reading and detail work in programs dealing with lines and music fonts. And everyone who looks at my screen wonders if their eyes are going bad. I have tried both inputs on the display (a Mitsubishi DiamondPro 2070, 22" CRT) with no difference. I cannot capture the repetitions in a screen shot. I have tried many different resolutions and refresh rates, with no improvement. The current resolution 1280x1024, 100Hz.
My other computer comes through just fine in the same CRT.
Any ideas on this one? Should I have it sent in for repairs on the video card?
Is this issue called "ghosting"? I thought that was only an issue with LCD displays. Anyhow, I am using the DVI/VGA adapter that came with the powerbook and a Belkin VGA cable (can't recall the cost, but it wasn't cheap).
Thanks,
Jeff

I would definitely try another cable if you have access to one. Otherwise, it could well be your Mac's video output has a problem. Can you try the Mac with another CRT monitor somewhere? That might tell you if the problem lies inside the Mac.

Image Capture Overview vs. Scan

Hi! I am fairly new to Mac, so please bear with me. I have a 2012 iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. My printer/scanner is an Epson WP-4530. I am using Image Capture 6.6 (525). My question is this...why is the Overview image on my screen so incredibly different than what is actually scanned? I kept the settings that the software set out for text, and it's a hot mess. I've tried playing around with the settings, but I can't figure this out. Logic tells me there has to be a simple solution since the Overview is so good, but I'm at a loss. Please help!!
DeAnn

As far as sharing the scanner using image capture, browse to the scanner (devices > browse devices), then click on the sharing button on the bottom left of the window...You can share the device from there, and add a password if necessary...
Cool when it works!
However, you cannot have more than 1 computer at a time using the scanner, so if another person has image capture open (but isn't using the scanner), you need to make them quit....
Still, this works pretty well (well, at least it did work pretty well
BTW-I thought I had installed the latest driver, but I will try again and see.....

Updated to 7.0 Can't send print-screen image and o...

after upgraded to 7.0, I can't send the print screen image by Ctrl-V into the message box.
I can send only text by Ctrl-V now...

2 issues
1. ALT + PRT + SCR PTR to capture a screen print and the CTRL + V into the chatbox still works but the receiving party since 1 or 2 days seems to receive blurry images. These images are so blurry that they become unreadable. I understand that i can sent images with file transfer, but when you do this 100 times per day this requires me to first open an image editor, save the image, then click on file transfer, find the image and press send. So this blurry variant that is sent now is really an issue for me.
2. from time to time, files that are sent simpy do not arrive on the other side. So i can be speaking to the other side but the image randomly simply doesn't arrive. This issue comes and goes and it affects file transfers and pasted images into the chat.

How to Get Photo Info in Image Capture?

I use Image Capture to download photos from my Sony digital camera. Is there a way to view some of the information about each image (such as date, file number, etc.) from within Image Capture prior to downloading the images? It seems that I am forced to go back to quit Image Capture and go back to my camera and view the image information there and then go back to Image Capture.
Thanks,
Steve M.

Hello,
Setting view options in Image Capture:
You can view images and other items from your digital camera in Image Capture. You can see the items in icon view or list view. In list view, you can see information about each item, such as the date it was created, its size, and the exposure. You can specify which information gets displayed.
Connect your digital camera, and click Download Some.
Choose View > as List.
Control-click any column header, and choose the columns you want to display.
Now, if you want, you can get iLife 06 and use iPhoto instead. You can set your default preferences so that either Image Capture or iPhoto launches when you connect your camera. But in iPhoto, once the images are downloaded to your Mac, you can see all the information in the bottom lefthand corner of the iPhoto window by simply selecting an image in your iPhoto library. It's so much more convenient then Image Capture. I use IC for scanning... that's about it.
If you need further assistance post back... and.. with Image Capture open, you can always click Help in the Menu top of your screen. If you don't find an answer there, just post here.
