Set of RAW file test images for regression tests

Hello
Does anybody own a broad range of test images which can be shared where most RAW file formats are covered to help making a new plugin stable or do regression tests over different versions of Lightroom or plugin revisions?
Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
I haven't seen anyone pull together a complete set of RAWs for this type of testing. Most people only need a few samples of different manufacturers just to ensure their code works OK. I'm curious to know what type of Lightroom plugin would require as an exhaustive a set of tests as you are suggesting.
You've already looked at the dcraw team's work. Might also want to look at Phil Harvey and his exiftool work to see if he has a set of test files available. Or RawTherapee though they might not bother with their own testing since I'm pretty sure they use dcraw under the covers.
I suspect you will need to do some downloading of files from review sites unless one of these big players has files ready for testing. Copyright issues might prevent that. Photography Blog makes it as easy as any of the sites I've found to download RAW sample files so keep them in mind if you run out of luck.

Simple test suite for regression testing

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has a simple test suite available.
I'm after these main areas:
1. arbitary script lanching (or just firing off ud32 files)
2. database comms (inserting test data, extracting final status)
3. comparison (ala diff) for regression tests.
I have knocked out a partial (i.e. not 100% finished!) one myself in perl, but was wondering what else other people have created .
i'm Looking for insparation / use what has already been done!
Thank in adavance,
Wayne

Subclass the test case itself, and have a factory method to return instances of the correct class you wish to test, or, use a protected instance variable to put it in
e.g
public class TestMyClass extends TestCase {
   public MyClass getMyClass() {
     return new MyClass();
public void testSomething() {
       MyClass myClass = getMyClass();
       assertTrue(myClass.isWorking());
public class TestSubclass extends TestMyClass {
     @Override
     public MyClass getMyClass() {
        return new Subclass(); // assume this extends MyClass
     // all the superclass test methods still get run
}or
public class TestMyClass extends TestCase {
protected MyClass myClass;
public void setup() {
    this.myClass = new MyClass();
public void testSomething() {
       assertTrue(myClass.isWorking());
public class TestSubclass extends TestMyClass {
public void setup() {
    this.myClass = new SubClass();
     // all the superclass test methods still get run
}

Nikon D800 raw files "unsupported image format".

I've a problem with Nikon D800 raw files "unsupported image format".
I've just upgrade to mountain lion with no success.
also aperture seems the last version
only Nikon software seems to work
thank you

Hey Andrea
sorry for the late reply. Have been on some working holidays
My setting is : typ>>>> no
bit>>>> 14
The only information, which is not transmitted is the adjustment level of the AF-finetuning
Good luck and hope it works meanwhile also with your camera

What steps do I take to edit raw files and save for web use, such as Instagram, Facebook, Websites, and emailing?

What Steps do I take to edit raw files and save for web use, such as Instagram, Facebook, Websites, and emailing?

When you open a raw file it will open in Adobe camera raw. That is where you can do most of the editing. Then it will be placed inside Photoshop where you can do more if needed.
Now you can use the save for web dialog to export your image as a png or jpg to use on those sites.

Raw files not selectable for transforming?

when i open a raw file in photoshop for editing, under the edit menu, none of the transform options are available.
Is there a reason for this?
And, how do i transform a raw file?
running windows 7 64-bit...
thanks!

When you use open in Photoshop and selet a RAW Image the image should open in ACR. You can have ACR transfer its converion of the RAW data a RGB image into Photoshop as a Background Layer or a RAW Smart Object layer. Background layers are locked for they do not support transparency therefore Transform is not and option that can be used on a background layer. If your image is in Photoshop as a background layer you need to convert it to a normal layer or a smart object to be able to transform it. However if you convert a Background layer to a smart object layer it is different then ACR transfering the RAW file into Photoshop as a smart object for that smart object contains the RAW file and has the RAW data and can be reopened into ACR. A background layer is a raster layer converting it to a smart object the smart object contains a raster Layer which can be reopened in Photoshop as a background layer.
In ACR if you hold down the shift key you will see ACR change the 'Open Image in Photoshop" button to "Open Object in Photoshop".....

ECM - How to open Review for Regression Testing on a regular basis

Hi,
We have implemented ECM for a large corporation that wants to run weekly regression testing on the application (including Portal functionality). A problem occurs with the review period as it is set to the month of August (in table T71ADM08) however to be able to test the application we need to be able to open the review in the testing environment.
Has anyone had similar experience? We would like to avoid the need to transport changes through on a weekly basis opening and then closing the review. The best solution at the moment seems to be creating a custom program that will enable the testers to open and close a review directly in the testing environment.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks,
Kelly.

Hi
For dynamic files you can;
1. either do the DDL on the external table to point to the file with the changing name
2Copy the file to a fixed name before using the external table/maps
3. Use the preprocessor to cat/pipe these files for the external table. See the post here http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/2009/06/file_staging_using_external_table_preprocessor.html it shows using gunzip but could simply be doing 'cat' on a bunch of files to standard output
Cheers

Aperture 3 and DNGs from LX5 raw files: unsupported image format

My LX5 arrived, and I tried converting a raw file to DNG with Adobe DNG Converter 6.2.0.21 beta and importing it into Aperture. No luck: Aperture says it's an unsupported image format. I tried setting the compatibility as far back as possible in the preferences, and still no luck. Any idea why this doesn't work? I used Adobe DNG Converter multiple times to work with raw files from unsupported cameras, so it's a real surprise to get the unsupported image file message.
—Andreas

Unfortunately, this is more about Apple dragging its feet than a cutting edge issue. I got an LX3 and upgraded to Aperture 3 in February of this year. RW2s straight out of the camera always imported just fine. However, I've never been able to get a DNG generated from an RW2 with Adobe DNG converter to work. Interestingly, DNGs from another file format I use (PEF) work fine in Aperture.
I submitted a issue report to Apple about the RW2 to DNG problem back in March, and like so many other suggestions to them, it seems to have vanished into the ether.

LabVIEW Video Waveform Source from Video Test Image for Multisim simulation

Hi,
I want to simulate a video amplifier circuit in Multisim. I need a Composite Video Signal Source for feeding the input to the amplifier. In one of the application note I saw that LabVIEW can be used to create Video Waveform Source from Video Test Image (BMP). I've attached the sheet for reference. My questions are below:
1. Do I need to create the Video Signal Source in LabVIEW or is it already available with LabVIEW library?
2. How to call/access this Video Signal Source from LabVIEW for simulation in Multisim?
3. Any examples available?
4. Which versions of LabVIEW and Multisim supports this feature?
Any help is truly appreciated.

Hi Mahmoud,
Thanks for your reply.
I searched for the VI 'Simple create composite signal from BMP image.vi' on internet (since it is named so in the Application Note), but could not find. I've some experience with LabVIEW, so I hope that once I get this VI I can plug-in to Multisim. But in order to add it to 'lvinstruments' folder of Multisim installation directory I need the DLL and LLB file (not the VI, I understand so). If these DLL and LLB files are available I think it will be easier to integrate with Multisim, otherwise I don't know what to do if I have just the VI.
Anyway attached the complete Application Note.

Sinoj

Importing camera picture setting with raw file

Is there a way to import my raw file with the camera picture settings from my camera. I use a personally edited version of the camera vivid from my d300. The files are imported without the settings and get set to adobe standard in my camera calibration. I use lightroom 4 with cs5 64 bit.

No is the short answer. Adobe and Nikon are not the same company so don’t have access to the other’s intellectual property and don’t know what the other does to decode the raw data, so neither can be expected to respect the other’s raw engine’s adjustment settings. Your question is the same as asking if Nikon software could use the Adobe XMP data to duplicate how things look in Lightroom.
The DNG Profile Editor is a way for you to tweak the existing camera profiles to your liking in Adobe products.

To set the timer in the Screen for online test

Hi all,
This is sujoy here....
i am developing a tool in SAP for Evaluation /test of any subject or topic where i have to incorporate the Timer Concepts as i will set this in the screen which where remaining time will decrease after each second like Online Test using web pages and after a predefined duration of 30 min( or 45 min or something like that) when that preset time is elapsed completly,the "SUBMIT" pushbutton will be Triggered automatically( if candidate does not press it within the duration).
Is there any FM or Program regarding this concepts...
Need your help...

Sujoy

Hi Sujoy,
Addition to my previous post..Use the JavaScript I mentioned in my previous post in the onload of your BSP page. And after 30 minutes or so submit the form, you need to make a addition to the java script given in that link.
See this code:
<%@page language="abap" %>
<%@extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb" %>
<head>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JavaScript">

</SCRIPT>
</head>
<htmlb:content design="design2003" >
<htmlb:page title = "Timer test application "
              onLoad = "InitializeTimer()" >
    <htmlb:form id="form1" >
      <htmlb:button text    = "Submit"
                    id      = "but01"
                    onClick = "myEvent" />
    </htmlb:form>
</htmlb:page>

OnInputProcessing you navigate to next page using
navigation->goto_page( 'second.htm' ).
Hope this helps...

10.5.2; Canon 1DsM3 Raw Files = "Unsupported Image Format" in Aperture

Just did the update and pointed Aperture to a folder of Canon 1Ds Mark III raw files (standard raw files, no sRaw or anything like that). Thumbnail previews are grey and Viewer says, "Unsupported Image Format".
Tried rebooting and verifying/fixing permissions. No help. No thumbnails, no images in Aperture.
Canon 1Ds Mark III raw files do show fine in the finder and in Quick Look.
Message was edited by: Jon Roemer

I have the same exact issue.
I do get the same error with 1Ds MIII raws.
Also the G9 raws are not working.
Finally after 3 months it's still not working
I could imagine that there is the need to edit some property file (like I have read before in the forum somewere) to add the new cameras to the list of supported cameras.
Are the D3, D300 raws working?

Test scenario for payslip testing

Hi,
please send me some test scenarios for payslip by which payslip can be affected.
eg. retro. means if retro will run then it will affect payslip.
Also send me some unit test cases in case of any payslip requirement.
Regards

Hi,
Just give an entry in infotype 8, 14 or 15 for previous month and run the payroll than retro will run, than compare results using wage type reporter.
When you run the payroll give the sandard SAP Remuneration and compare the results in the SAP payslip and payslip you have developed.
If you have developed payslip using PE51 than the retro amounts are picked authomatically.

I am having problems converting raw files to jpeg for printing. I am using 90 quality, 300 resolutiong, srgb, no sharpening and no resizing. when u print to meijer the pic are a little grainy. can soneone pkease helo me understand what settings to use?

When I take my cd to meijer to print the pic are a little grainy. Not as crisp as they look on the computer.

I want to be able to out my pic ok on a cd and take them to get prints.

I am new to this so I am not sure what the file size is since I'm not resizing it.
The question asked about exported image size (height and width) in pixels, not file size. Your operating system can tell you, or if you import the exported image into Lightroom, then Lightroom can tell you in the Metadata Panel, set the dropdown to EXIF.
I am printing a 5x7. I know I have tried to print with long edge set at 1024 and set to 300 ppi and had the same result with the grainy ness.
If the exported file has a long edge of 1024, then you did resize the image, there no other way to turn a RAW in to a JPG with long edge 1024. In any event, 1024 pixels is probably not large enough to fill 7 inches, that's really 1024/7=146 pixels per inch (rounded-off), and could be the cause of the "graininess" that you see, although I would use the word "pixelization" to describe what you see. So I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing, but let's go with it for now.
The solution depends on your answer to the original question, and probably depends on a clarification of how you got the image to 1024 on the long edge even though you claim you didn't resize it.

How do I export my library of Raw files to jpegs for use in a windows system?

So we just returned from vacation in Belize and I have over 1300 raw images in an aperture library. I need to export all of these images in jpeg format, onto a flash drive, so my wife can easily view them on her windows machine. How can I do this?

File -> Export and select an Export Preset (or create one for your preferred spec) and export to a folder on the desktop.

RAW files show icons for some folders, thumbs for others

I have CS3, on OS 10.5, and use a Nikon D90. I've taken lots of pics in RAW format and all have shown a thumbnail in Bridge. Until the most recent set of pics I saved to my HD....they only show the RAW icon. What is going on with that? How can I make it show thumbs? Thanks

Is there a setting on my camera (Nikon D90) or in Bridge I may have tripped up
that
doesn't save a thumbnail?
Can't think of such a setting.
Could you specify if you have done some updates recently. There are a lot of
issues with Bridge CS3 and CS4 and CS5 are a lot better and much much more
stable.
However it seems to me that it is ACR related. Could you look at the specs
for this. In Photoshop go to the menu Photoshop/about plug in and choose
Camera Raw. Inhere there should only be one Camera Raw and it should say
version 4.6.
Could you report back on that?
And can you also check if you can see thumbs from Tiff, PSD or Jpeg files?
