Stock Photo Images

Hey there everyone,
I am building a course in Captivate for training purposes for
my company and my customers. I have some stock photos of a woman in
different poses, and a man in different poses. My problem is that I
dont have very many poses to choose from. Is there a place I could
get some stock photos that have a large variety of the same person
in different poses?

Hi, and welcome to the community!
A tall order. The best I can offer is the Captivate User
Exchange.
It
is located right here. If you scroll through it, a wonderful
lady named Silke ((Sil-ka*) Fleisher posted some male and female
images that will work, I think. But beyond, that, all I can say is
*google* and good luck. Sorry I don't have better new to offer.

SAP Mobile app Stock photo not work for network location

Hi Experts
I found if we use network location path (e.g.
servername\pic folder\) in SAP Business One General Settings -> Path, Picture Folder, then if we logon SAP B1 Mobile app from iPad/iPhone, and try to open stock photo, we will get error:
Processing Failed
Internal server error: contact your system administrator
It looks like it only work for local path, e.g C:\pic
Even we put path as :
local pc name\pic folder, it is also not work.
Any idea about this?
Thanks

The first link is a temporary fix for a machine that only one or two people will use. This will not fix the Library Machines that some 3000 users can use at anytime. I can not pre-add all these users every time we image a machine. We also loan out laptops and I need these machine to wirelessly login dynamically to the domain. But I also need these machine to allow access if these machine are removed from our campus and the wireless access is not available.
Thank again for the help and I hope someone at Apple can fix this soon. I going to have a hard time telling the client that thay can not use the OS that came with they're machine.

Using stock photos in photoshop, resolution, size

Hi. In PS CS4 on XP.
I wanted to know what the deal is with stock photo sites.
I have copied a stock photo before from the web, pasted it in Photoshop (which would place it in a new document) & it would be whatever the size the photo is at 72 dpi.
I made a second blank document, letter size @300 dpi. I have dragged the stock photo onto the new document and it looks and prints clear (especially since I only needed the photo an inch by an inch)
I guess my question is, do I really need to purchase the medium or high resolution photos @300 dpi if needing a small size? Especially if they are $300-400??
What is wrong with the low resolution @72 dpi placed on a 300 dpi document (again, if needing a smaller size only).
Now, I have another concern.
I often will blow up images at 300dpi large (for trade show displays) and they are usually originally in the 6-8" range and are enlarged about 3x that size and do come out clear. I just was wondering I guess if you see a stock image thats for example these prices/sizes (below) can't you just get the medium one. Is there really a need to purchase the very high resolution images?:
$ 325.00 USD
Medium resolution300 dpi | 4.7 x 7.1 in | 1415 x 2123 px
$ 425.00 USD
High resolution300 dpi | 8.6 x 12.9 in | 2577 x 3867 px
$ 475.00 USD
Very high resolution300 dpi | 11.3 x 17 in | 3399 x 5100 px
I just feel ripped off sometimes. That's part of why I use iStock, but they have the same options.
Thank you. just wondering!
(ps- not looking to steal web photos, but I often will use them as placeholders til deciding to buy)

hi Stella,
I work for a trade show display company and get asked about image resolution and "how much do I need" on a regular basis...
The short answer is, it depends...
You need as much as you need, and it depends on your standards, and what you want and are willing to accept.
When pictures get blown up (especially for trade show display graphics), if the image resolution isn't high enough, they will look pixelated (that is, you will see the individual pixels and the image will look "chunky")... We see this a lot when people pull low-resolution images off the web. To explain the problem, we made a page with pictures that show what happens (sometimes a picture is much easier to understand than a lot of words). You can see it here: ( http://www.pinnacledisplays.com/image-resolution.htm )
So you need your images to be high enough in image resolution so they won't pixelate.
But if the image is something like a sunset, then you can get away with much lower resolution.
But if it is a computer circuit board with fine detail, you need a LOT of resolution.
It also depends if you are going to look at it from a distance, or if you want to be able to look at it up close.
And it depends on if the photographer took a good (focused) picture in the first place!
As for your comment on istock versus more traditional stock photography websites, we generally recommend people look at istock first since the images are much less expensive there. But you won't always find what you want, and you want to make sure the image is high quality, so it's also good to look at the traditional sites, if your budget permits.
And if you really like the image and think you may use it for multiple things, it is better so spend the money for the highest resolution image rather than deciding you need it later and have to buy a second higher version image.
Hope some of my rambling comment helps! Steve

Stock Photo Websites

I just wanted to get a consensus on the most common/best stock photo websites that designers here use? I work for a magazine publisher, and I want to know where most of you guys go to get stock vector images or stock photos. Much thanks for any help!

iStockPhoto is my favorite.

Adobe Stock Photos Stuck in Trash and Photoshop CS2 won't run!

Okay, I apparently did something stupid. I'm not even sure how this happened, but I realized that Adobe Stock Photos folder was sitting on my desktop (I'm using OS X 10.5.6). I don't know when this happened and I didn't think I needed it so I dragged it to the trash. NOW I cannot run any of my Adobe software (includes Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2 and GoLive CS2).
I can see the folder sitting in my trash, but it won't let me drag it back out. So, just as a test, I tried dragging out the one other file (.jpg) and I can't get that one either. I know this isn't a Mac forum, but I'm desparate and cannot find anything to help me.
Probably I am going to have to reinstall everything and (of course) I can't find my CDs!!! Please don't get angry if I'm asking the wrong question. I've done an internet search and I cannot find any solutions.
Thanks, Anne

Adobe stock photos does not even exist anymore.
Have you tried deleting your trash? I have no Adobe stock Photos on my computer and everything works. try restarting the computer.

Simple Bridge script will not read metadata and triggers Adobe Stock Photos

I have been trying to learn to write scripts for bridge but can't get past the most basic tasks. When I run the script on an open window in bridge it throws an "Uncaught exception metadata" error. The most bizarre thing is it sometimes causes an Adobe Stock Photo script to launch in the extendscript toolkit and throw and the "Uncaught exception metadata" error in that script. My script is as follows:
#target "bridge"
if (BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge")
var items = app.document.visibleThumbnails
for (i=0; i< items.length; i++)
item = items[i]
md=item.metadata
md.namespace = "http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/";
Window.alert(md.Title)
Window.alert(i + " "+ " Files Finished")
Basically I was asking to extract the title of each thumbnail from the metadata and show it in a window. I figured if I could do something as basic as that then I could move on and tackle the more complicated tasks that I need to do.
Any ideas of what is going on? Has anyone else accidentally triggered Adobe Stock Photos?

Another bit of info.... As I looked at this further, it seems to be occuring only on those photos where I previously ran camera raw from CS3. I've upgraded to CS5 but have not rerun camera raw since. I understand the camera raw engine in CS3 was different. Could this be involved? Could Lightroom be changing the metadata because the engine is updating the information and I have to save TO file to get this to synch?
update about this camera raw engine possibilty..... it would not appear to be the answer. I have some files that synch even tho lightroom develop says they are using the 2003 process version. I have some files that are on the new version that won't synch.

I need your help with a decision to use iPhoto. I have been a PC user since the mid 1980’s and more recently have used ACDSee to manage my photo images and Photoshop to edit them. I have used ProShow Gold to create slideshows. I am comfortable with my own folder and file naming conventions. I currently have over 23,000 images of which around 60% are scans going back 75 years. Since I keep a copy of the originals, the storage requirements for over 46,000 images is huge. 180GB plus.
I now have a Macbook Pro and will add an iMac when the new models arrive. For my photos, I want to stay with Photoshop which also gives me the Bridge. The only obvious reason to use iPhoto is to take advantage of Faces and the link to iMovie to make slideshows. What am I missing and is using iPhoto worth the effort?
If I choose to use iPhoto, I am not certain whether I need to load the originals and the edited versions. I suspect that just the latter is sufficient. If I set PhotoShop as my external editor, I presume that iPhoto will keep track of all changes moving forward. However, over 23,000 images in iPhoto makes me twitchy and they are appear hidden within iPhoto. In the past, I have experienced syncing problems with, and database errors in, large databases. If I break up the images into a number of projects, I loose the value of Faces reaching back over time.
Some guidance and insight would be appreciated. I have a number of Faces questions which I will save for later.

Bridge and Photoshop is a common file-based management system. (Not sure why you'd have used ACDSEE as well as Bridge.) In any event, it's on the way out. You won't be using it in 5 years time.
Up to this the lack of processing power on your computer left no choice but to organise this way. But file based organisation is as sensible as organising a Shoe Warehouse based on the colour of the boxes. It's also ultimately data-destructive.
Modern systems are Database driven. Files are managed, Images imported, virtual versions, lossless processing and unlimited editing are the way forward.
For a Photographer Photoshop is overkill. It's an enormously powerful app, a staple of the Graphic Designers' trade. A Photographer uses maybe 15% to 20% of its capability.
Apps like iPhoto, Lightroom, Aperture are the way forward - for photographers. There's the 20% of Photoshop that shooters actually use, coupled with management and lossless processing. Pop over to the Aperture or Lightroom forums (on the Adobe site) and one comment shows up over and over again... "Since I started using Aperture/ Lightroom I hardly ever use Photoshop any more..." and if there is a job that these apps can do, then the (much) cheaper Elements will do it.
The change is not easy though, especially if you have a long-standing and well thought out filing system of your own. The first thing I would strongly advise is that you experiment before making any decisions. So I would create a Library, import 300 or 400 shots and play. You might as well do this in iPhoto to begin with - though if you’re a serious hobbyist or a Pro then you'll find yourself looking further afield pretty soon. iPhoto is good for the family snapper, taking shots at birthdays and sharing them with friends and family.
Next: If you're going to successfully use these apps you need to make a leap: Your files are not your Photos.
The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
When you process an image in iPhoto the file is never touched, instead your decisions are recorded in the database. When you view the image then the Master is presented with these decisions applied to it. That's why it's lossless. You can also have multiple versions and waste no disk space because they are all just listings in the database.
These apps replace the Finder (File Browser) for managing your Photos. They become the Go-To app for anything to do with your photos. They replace Bridge too as they become a front-end for Photoshop.
So, want to use a photo for something - Export it. Choose the format, size and quality you want and there it is. If you're emailing, uploading to websites then these apps have a "good enough for most things" version called the Preview - this will be missing some metadata.
So it's a big change from a file-based to Photo-based management, from editing files to processing Photos and it's worth thinking it through before you decide.

Why is my MacBook Pro slowe when I open it off line to view photo images?

I had recently activated iCloud. I have it set not to copy my photos or data, but only settings and a few other categories. I opened it offline in Preview to quickly view photos on memory cards. I found it slow, with a drop down box periodically flashing open from the top of the screen. It appears to be attempting to copy or save my images. I presume this is to iCloud, though I have it specifically unchecked and do not want it saved to iCloud. I have Dropbox, which I quit, so it is not a factor. I never save my photo images there either. In the past, it was never problem to open and view images with Preview. Now it is extremely slow to open and load images for contact sheet view. All this is recent with the addition of Mavericks and iCloud. Also, I attempted to get out of this by quitting, but had to resort to a forced quit, as it continued to do what it was doing.
Is there a way to be sure iCloud is not copying things and slowing down my computer? Is this a glitch caused by Mavericks?
I have done scans with Sophos Antivirus and it does not appear I have any virus. I have lost all the speed of having a Mac. It is now slower than my old dual core Acer PC. I recently added a Caldigit Thunderbolt dock which has worked great to add USB 3.0 to my early 2011 MacBook Pro which had not 3.0 ability, but this
was bypassed, as my card reader is only 2.0. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
<Edited by Host>

I think I have found the source of my problem detailed above. Apparently, there have been problems with Preview running on OS Mavericks, dating back to October 2013, which Apple has yet to acknowledge or address. Many have had similar problems with photo images loading very slowly to the point of making Preview unuseable.
It may also explain problems I have had with flash drives and hard drives that ran on my Mac Book Pro under Lion no longer working since upgrading to Mavericks. I found other postings on these issues.
It is a shame that I have to resort to Google as the best source to identify problems with my Mac and possible solutions. In many cases, it directs me to the source on Apple Support, which is difficult to find when one attempts a search via Apple Support. This could use some improvement.
I am new to using community support sites and Apple does not seem to provide simple, clear directions on how to get started. Jumping in with both feet, not only did I get wet, but I apparently "splashed" someone, as I got a hostile response from another community member on the first issue ever posted. I never did get an answer to the problem, though. I hope some find these comments helpful.
Oh, and wake up, Apple. We all would hope you monitor and glean information from these postings and act promptly to remedy problems with OS Mavericks.

How can I keep a photo image from fading away on my tv using apple tv.

How can I keep a photo image from fading away on my tv using apple tv?

Thanks for you reply. When I paint, I bring up the photo as you suggested. I begin painting. After about 10 minutes or so, the photo goes blank. And, I have to start the process over again to get that same photo. It interrupts the painting process. I think it goes blank due to a sleep function. I have gone into the Apple TV settings and turned off the sleep function. But, this does not seem to work. What can I do to keep the image on the TV screen permanently?

How can i delete stock photos from my Mac that are on my iPhone?

When I first synced my iPhone 4S to my iTunes on my macbook pro, I got a bunch of stock photos and icons used on my computers. I cannot delete them on my iPhone like you would delete a normal photo; the option to delete the photos is disabled,
The pictures take up a lot of space and I want to get rid of them.
I just updated to iOS7 and my iTunes has not been updated lately.
There are 488 of these photos and they are in an album called "last import- from my mac"

Do you mean that you synced them from iTunes to your iPhone? If so, you have to sync to iTunes again and change the selected synced photos.

Photo images from dig. cam [one is error and other won't open] questions

My wife inserted the sd card in the card reader and copied about 70 photo image files to the Mac. The camera that took all the 70 photos was a Panasonic DMC-LZ5 but I don't think the camera model matters much here.
For the first time, 2 of the many images seem to be corrupt. Mac X reports one photo image has an error while trying to open and reports the second image won't open.
My main concern is whether or not to just delete the two error/corrupt jpg images. My other main concern is that I don't want to keep the two images if it could affect or corrupt my hd or Mac system in some way.
I normally just trash corrupted files; however, in this case I went ahead and attempted to open both of the 2 troubled files myself later and they both opened up in Preview and didn't report any error or corruption. However, one of the jpg images defintely is corrupt when viewing it as the bottom of the image is definitely messed up. However, the other image now opens perfectly and looks fine to the eye as if nothing is wrong with it.
Here is a link to the one photo image that isn't quite right [note the obvious distortion at bottom of image]. Link is http://mysite.verizon.net/vzenvo78/question595.jpg
Further very relevant information: The SanDisk sd card that all the 70 images were on is a 1 gig card and the sd card seems to be a total loss. The sd card can't be initialized/formatted by disk utility and furthermore the sd card is no longer recognized by the Panasonic camera - the Panasonic camera won't even preview the images off the card or allow me to format the card even from the camera.

Hello,
I see what you are talking about. I just discovered this same exact problem on a friends G5 after he uploaded pics from his Leica.
This is what I did: I ran Disk Utility from the system restore disc to verify and repair the drive. DU reported Volume Bitmap problems. DU was able to repair the disc. Next, I created a new user account and tried uploading the images from the camera to the G5 and it worked just fine. The images loaded like they should.
I also reinstalled the drivers that came with the camera.
Delete any files that your Mac reports as a problem. It's just not worth leaving them on the drive.
So...... run Disk Utility from your system restore disc. If it reports errors, hopefully DU can repair them. If not, one option is to get DiskWarrior here:
www.alsoft.com or TechToolPro4 here: www.micromat.com
One other idea is how old is the card?
Next idea is to create a new user acccount: System Prefs/Accounts. Try using that account to upload the same images. See if they upload as they should. If they do, then the issue isn't system wide, it's just in the other user account.
Remember to always back up your images/audio/data often as you never know when you might need to do either an Archive or Erase and Reinstall.

HP Premier photo imaging

HP 6840 Premier photo imaging, and Windows XP. Unable to get a solution from the support team, who apparently have never heard of my problem.
Now, for the fifth time I have lost my 20 odd albums, each holding about 1000 photos.. They just disappear for no apparent reason or wrong action. I close down one day and the next day they have gone. To exacerbate the problem I can find no way to save them to My Docs where recovery might be easier than starting from scratch again for the sixth time. Has any one else experienced this fault and can come up with an answer?

Mashie,
Could you explain what you mean by 20 odd albums? Do you mean you have saved them to a CD/DVD?
If so, I would suggest you copy just 1 of these albums to a new folder in My Pictures (where it should be) directly to the computer. The files will stay put. Test it, and report back.

Need help placing photo image in laptop screen of a video...

I have footage that is both zooming and panning, and need a photo image to fit within the laptop screen space during the duration of the pan/zoom. Should I use "Track Motion" accompanied with key-framing in 2D? Does this make sense? Is there an easier way to achieve this, or is that the way to go?
Here is a rough take of the clip of which I speak. In reality, we will be placing the same image on both the HDTV and the laptop in the shot. Hopefully, this will make what I have said above a little more clear. Hope you can help. Thanks much.

How to store photo images in a database table?

Hello Y'all,
How do I store about 695 signs inventory photo images from a PDF file to an Oracle database table? We are using Oracle 10.2.0.2. What data type should I use for these images? How about the table space? What table space should I allocate to ensure there is no space issue?
Thanks in advance for any/all the help.

Here you go..
Assuming you have a table
test_blob (col1 BLOB);
Create an oracle directory or use an existing one to place the image on the oracle server.
create or replace directory tmp_blob as '/tmp';This tmp location should exist on your server where oracle is installed.
also ftp the image file (say image1.bmp) to this location
declare
l_blob BLOB;
l_bfle BFILE;
l_re BOOLEAN := FALSE;
Begin
DBMS_LOB.createtemporary(l_blob, TRUE);
insert into test_blob(col1) values (EMPTY_BLOB())
returning col1 into l_blob;
--return image into l_blob;
l_bfile := BFILENAME('TMP_BLOB','image1.bmp');
--check if file exists
l_ret := DBMS_LOB.fileexists (l_bfile) = 1;
if (l_ret)
then
DBMS_LOB.fileopen(l_bfile);
DBMS_LOB.loadfromfile(l_blob, l_bfile, DBMS_LOB.getlength(l_bfile));
commit;
else
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('File not present');
end if;
end;
/ not tested this exact one.. check for the syntax errors if any.. this should work
