Should I Reduce the Number of Images in Each Slide?

I have a presentation that, because I'm a photographer, uses dissolves to transition between around 400 separate TIFFS, each around 7MB. The show hiccups, especially between heavily loaded slides. Is it better management of the app to put each image on a slide, and dissolve from one to another, instead of doing thirty or forty builds in each slide?
Also, is it just me, or do the images soften considerably as I reduce their size on the screen? Should they be sized in CS3 for EXACTLY their final show size at 72dpi?
Thanks from a Rank Newbee!

My guess is that Keynote would prefer separate slides for separate images. Also, reducing your images should help performance enormously -- I would strongly recommend resizing them before pulling them into Keynote.

Is there a limit to the number of images in a slide show?

I am making a slide show for an event and would like to use lots of pictures, is there a limit in the number of images in a folder? the number of images in a slide show?

is there a limit in the number of images in a folder? the number of images in a slide show?
None that I know off. But why are you asking? Did you notice any performance problems or problems to render the slideshow? Then it would help to know more about your hardware RAM, disk, CPU ..
If you already encountered problems, you may wish to have a look at this thread - although it relates to Aperture 3, not 2:
Is there a limit on the number of photos you can use in an Aperture slideshow?
And as I said in that thread:
I'd expect the limiting factor to the length of a slide show to be the patience and "Good Will" of your intended audience

Does anyone know of a way to reduce the number of colors of an image

I have read all the documentation on this and there is no clear and easy way to reduce the number of colors of a bufferedimage. It would be also handy to know how to ensure that the image stays under specific size.
thanks for any help
Lee

Yeah Abuse you are sooo right, i have written code to do this and it was/wasnt fun depending on your sense of humour...
Heres how it works..
*1 pick a pallet, the more colours, the bigger the result file, but better quality
-so decide what you want
*2 for each pixel find the nearest colour in your pallet that matches it.
-its important to count each pixel rather than each colour in the original as a large block of 1 colour should have more weight
*3 then for each colour in you pallet average out the colour of all pixels that would become that colour
-the average becomes the new best colour for that pallet entry
-since the pallet has now changed repeat 2 and 3 as long as you want, or rather untill nothing changes
* if at any time a pallet entry has nothing that maps to it then make it become a colour that is near the most used pallet entry.
have fun, its called cluster theory and is used lots in converting images to .GIF

How to reduce the number of bytes for a picture

I want to reduce the number of bytes used for a picture to be sent to a site like Ebay or craigslist. I son't see any options in Iphoto for this purpose.

You can do it in Preview.
Open the image in Preview. Under Tools, click Adjust Size.
Scale it down to the smallest acceptable size (the website should give a suggested resolution).
Then go to File -> Export, save it as a Jpeg.
Smaller size image means smaller file size.

Is it possible to reduce the number of HTTP calls when using a ReportViewer control?

My application is written in .Net 4 using Visual Studio 2010 (version 10 of the ReportViewer control). The report in question contains a lot of data in the dropdowns used for parameter selection. For example, one dropdown contains 95k options and another
uses 24k options (I know this is bad design, but we need to keep it as-is for this release). When I use Fiddler to profile the report, I see that it makes a lot of HTTP calls and a majority return the same dataset. There are three phases of loading data. Each
one initiates a series of HTTP calls.
Loading the initial header with the filter controls (dropdowns, textboxes, etc).
Changing one of the dropdowns that has a dependent dropdown (start date/end date)
Loading the final report after clicking the View Report button
In total, 13 HTTP calls are made and 10 of those are returning the same 10MB of data. The final report only returns 13 records, but the whole process of loading the report filters, changing report filters and loading the report require 130MB of data to be
exchanged. This is an extreme example, but we do have other reports that are doing the same with smaller amounts of data.
My question: is there any way to modify the ReportViewer or the SSRS server to reduce the number of calls? Is this related to ViewState? Please understand that I am new to Reporting Services and have a lot to learn.

Hi rodeofive,
As per my understanding, the issue is a performance issue. And it is caused by there are thousands of values in the drop-down list of parameters in the report.
To work around this issue, I suggest you should make some changes in the report. For example, we can add additional two parameters with multiple keywords ahead, one for the dropdown contains 95k options, another for dropdown contains 24k options. Then all
of available values which are begin with the keywords will display in the parameter list. In this scenario, we can create cascading parameters. One is a keyword parameter, and the other parameter is the drop-down list that based on the keyword to display the
available values.
For more details about the method, please refer to the following FAQ:

How can I reduce the number of lines in live paint?

I'm trying to use adobe illustrator to color the background of a photograph green while keeping the person in the picture the same color.
I used live trace to get a vector image and then attemped to use live pain to finish the job, but I end up with thousands of blue lines and gaps that are too small to color in. Is there anyway i can reduce the number of gaps so that i can actually paint the background?
I've already tried the gap options and adjusting the settings to small medium or large did nothing.
If this isn't possible, is there any other feature in adobe illustrator that would allow me to achieve my goal?
I have a photograph with a person in the middle; i want the person to remain the same and the background to be changed to green.
Thanks for your time.

Would be easiest to fix this when tracing.
You could try the magic wand tool to select them (but you'll have to expand the live paint object)

How can I reduce the number of event cases in the main VI?

I would like to reduce the number of event case of the event structure in my main VI. E.g. I would like to have pop up window with a table when the user double click a table row. Nothing more simple than this: add a case to the event structure trigger by double clicking the table, read the table row ... But in my main VI I would have lots of them and the event structure gets crowded with minor tasks. One solution is using XControls. But is there any other recomended way to handle selected events separatly from the event structure in the main VI?
to clarify: I don't want to distribute the whole event structure. (In this case the code would not be maintainable) But I would like to handle certain context specific events in a differnt place. If I have them all in the main VI the drop down list of the events in the event structure exceeds the windows size and the program becomes difficult to maintain because one looses the overview.

"Strictly forbidden" is not true. But highly not recommended. The reason is simple:
1. Code can react unpredictable. Dennis already stated some things about that in your linked thread.
2. Code is not readable and therefore not maintainable. Each event source should have only one event structure for its events. Since the UI is a single source, events from there should be captured in a single event structure. It is recommended to use this event structure as producer in a producer/consumer design pattern in order not to block the events.
3. You will most propably need timeouts in your event structure which completly negates the advantage of event driven programming. Either use event driven programming or stay at polling. Do not mix (most of all because of maintenance).
Regarding your "advantages" you listed:
- Clustering reduces readability in therefore should never be done. Additionally, it requires timeout cases in most places which is not recommended.
- If you have such many events and interactions in your "sequence", it is a clear indication that you chose the wrong architecture for your application.
Please see attached example. Since i am not used to program with more than one event structure (except if i have different dedicated event sources), the example is "constructed" and therefore may lack of "realism". Nevertheless, it shows some issues which might occur:
- Blocking calls within the events lead to the fact that the UI is not responsive for the event time (FuncA). Nevertheless, interaction is still enqueued and if the blocking call is over, all those interaction are executed. In the example, please press FuncA and then press FuncC immediatly. You will see that nothing happens and after the 5s blocking call, the FuncC dialog appears. You also can switch tabs, but the visual display will update only after the 5s blocking call.
- In order to keep the UI responsive, FuncB is configured not to block the UI. But this is no solution: Press FuncB (on page 2) and the change to page 1 and press FuncA. Additionally, press FuncC. What happens? Just to mess things up, press Stop as well......do this combination several times. It is possible that only the lower loop is finished and the VI is still running even if Stop has been pressed.
Please note everyone that the attached example shoudl strictly be seen as "NEVER DO IT LIKE THIS". This is a negative example and shows the approach which is not recommended by any means!

There are way too many photos on my internal hard drive. I have older libraries, and newer libraires in iPhoto and Aperture 2. What is the best way to find and reduce the number of duplicate photos/libraries before upgrading to Aperture 3?

Good idea.
Back up first.
I would probably wait for the merge function of the latest version before merging. Be sure to verify every merge.
Merge Libraries, then from within Aperture move images to referenced on external hard drives.

Hi ...
Checked to see how much free space there is on the startup disk lately?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac GuidesFreeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
If disk space is not the issue, booting in Safe Mode deletes system caches that may help.
A Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient.
Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left corner of the screen.
From the drop down menu click Restart.
See if that makes a difference ...

How do I reduce the number of audio channels in the source or export settings?

I'. trying to export my finished edit through the "movie" setting but keep getting the message that the number of audio channels to create in the exported file must be equal to, or less than the number of channels in the source. Reduce the number of audio channels in the source. Reduce the number of audio channels in the export settings. I am at a loss as to what this means and how I proceed with it prior to putting it to DVD. Please advise.

How to extract the number from image using java

Hello every one
i want to develope a project which can extract the number from image
that i can use as inter or String or char.
Is there any API in java which provide this type of facility.
right now i m using java 5
thanks in Advance
Jignesh

In my project i have a image in that i have a
co-ordinate (x,y) I am still puzzled as to what you seek. It sounds to me like you have a point (x, y) represented by p. in java it's just p.getX() p.getY()
i want to convert that cordinate to numeric form,
i mena i want to use that cordinate in somewhere else
in project.point.getX() point.getY()
So need to convert it into numeric form u can called
it OCR also.OCR is optical character recognition. If I want out and took a picture of the US Declaration of Independence and then wanted the words on the parchement in the picture in text form, then I would run the picture through a software program and it would try to optically recognise what lettering and number were present in the picture. In the end, I would have a text of what is written on the US Declaration of Independence.
Is that what you want?
