Tiger's Preview application does not antialias images when zooming

On windows when you double click an image and zoom in it uses standard bicubic interpolation to give the magnified image a natural look.
In OS X, when images are magnified in Preview the pixels are magnified 1:1 which gives a horrible pixellated look. On some images clicking "actual size" gives a non 100% scale rendition too.
Is there any hack or trick to let preview magnify images normally or better?
It's weird, you'd think some uat tester would have noticed the pixellated zoom and just changed the magnification algorithm.

In ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist, there is an entry called
Root->Preview->PVImageHiResDrawingInZoomInMode
which is set to zero by default. Change it to 1, save and restart finder. This should enable interpolation. It seems to work OK but no promises - they must have turned it off for a reason (it's actually pretty rubbish compared to the windows one and for some reason not as good as the one used in slideshow mode?!).

Preview application does not print images correctly sized

The Preview application does not show me what size the image will print out.
It defaults to Scale to Fit: Print entire image.
The % in the Scale: window seems to be what the % turns out to be, depending on which Scale to Fit: is selected.
If I click into Scale:, and then change the %, when I hit Return, it prints immediately without allowing me to preview what size the change actually looks like. Need to change that behavior!!! Can't see how to do it.
Probably want the default setting to be Scale: 100% but can't figure out how to do that.
ALSO the Preferences / Images setting has two choices.
But playing with the Define 100% scale as just changes the size of the image in the Preview viewing window. The PRINT menu still has the same default and the same Scale: % size. No matter which I select, the PRINT default is still the same %.

OR....

Preview.app in Snow Leopard has removed the option to print without scaling, and recreating this behaviour with the remaining options is quite complex and requires 4 extra steps. Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a document in Preview.app, such as a PDF, of a known paper size.
2. Select 'File' > 'Print…'
3. Change the paper size to one where the default scale value with the default 'Scale to Fit:' 'Print Entire Image' is not 100%. This step is often unnecessary, as many documents will require reduction to include margins, even if the paper sizes match.
4. Select 'Scale:'
5. Select the scale % value.
6. Delete the scale value.
7. Input '100' in the scale value box using the keyboard.
8. Press tab to avoid radar #7256827.
9. Click 'Print' Expected Results:
Click on a single option to print at 100%, if by chance that wasn't the default option. This would have been one step. Actual Results:
Does what it says. Steps 4 through 8 are necessary to print at 100% in most cases. Regression:
This behaviour was as expected in OS X 10.5.x and previous versions, or we wouldn't be having this discussion. Notes:
Printing at 100% is the only scaling that is common enough to warrant a button to make it an easy one to get to. Preview.app itself even has an 'Actual Size' toolbar button, but has removed this function for printing.
Graphic designers (and other professionals) or specific applications (such as printing on pre-cut or pre-printed paper, labels, or DVDs) can commonly require printing at 100%, and using PDF to distribute documents makes Preview.app the most logical choice for many printing jobs.
Having something other than 100% as a default can cause expensive media to be ruined by a mis-scaled printout, unless these 4 (+1) steps are followed every time.
Most other apps, including Safari, Mail.app and TextEdit default to no scaling, making Preview.app an exception. I am an architect and this is really annoying!
Does anyone know a workaround?

Application does not work properly when I press a CommanButton

Hi all, I am having a problem with weblogic 10.3.5.
It turns out that an application built with JDeveloper 11.1.5, I test it, and everything goes well in the JDeveloper integrated Weblogic.
But when deploy in a standalone weblogic 10.3.5 server, the application does not work properly when I press a CommanButton to go to another page search (the property "action" is set correctly) , but nothing happens, stays in the same home page. Similarly when a commanButton link to run a task-flow, It do not work , however in the JDeveloper integrated Weblogic it runs correctly.
How I can solve these problems?
Thanks.

Thanks Frank for help us, but when I writing this comment we are doing at home. So, we going to test the page in a stand alone weblogic server 10.3.5. We wrote the URL as :
" http://<our ip>:7001/myApp/faces/index.jspx "
this application contains a report desing and compiled with iReport 4.5.1 ( last version in the moment ), we can see the report when I press a commanButton without any problem.
But now, we need try your suggestions in the office, and give you more information about it . Thanks for the moment.
In the Afternoon we gonna give you more information about it .

Safari on my account does not display images when you open a picture.

I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed. Safari on my account does not display images most of the time when you open a picture like (www.example.com/example/example.jpg or any other format). If the image does not display, I can drag from the corner, it displays the image. However, pdf does not work at all. I have to choose open in Preview to view the pdf file. I can even show the example:
Sometimes the images work like right now.
2. This is the time when the images do not work.

Hi all the real problem was this...
The issue was that the wee rubber eye piece around the viewfinder had slipped out of its seat slightly and was covering the sensor for the LCD. I Just checked the rubber eye piece bit pushed right down till it clipped into place and now not obstructing the LCD sensor as the picture displays both with the LCD auto off enabled or disabled !! simple thing but a massive trap !

Application does not load correctly when deploying to standalone server

All,
I have created simple application implementing fusion theme. Applicaiton works fine when I run on integrated server but when deployed on standalone server it does not load any images or the theme itself. afrloop keep incrementing in status bar and ends up with java script error while later.
I deployed another test application on standalone server and that works fine i.e. theme gets loaded correctly. Also, how should I include images on the page? I have a images folder in web content folder but they dont get loaded.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dipal

LabVIEW now uses the Microsoft installer. It's possible that you need to upgrade the version that's on the Win2K box. I think the latest service packs from Microsoft include it.

Image display control scrolling does not work properly when zoomed in

I am using a ROI on an image in the image display control. When zooming into the image to fine-adjust the positioning of the ROI, the image scrolling does not work properly. As far as I understand, the image should scroll automatically when the ROI is leaving the visible area. However, the scrolling behaviour seems to depend on the origin of the Labview panel, not the origin of the image display control, which might require to move the ROI way out of the visible area before the scrolling takes place. In other words: the coordinate system of the image display control is shifted with respect to the true visible image area, depending on where you place it on the front panel. As a consequence, when clicking on a ROI which is in the visible area, but is outside of what Labview thinks is the visible area, it might immediately jump to the left border of the image, making the positioning of the ROI really difficult.
Has anyone noticed this behaviour, and what would be a reliable solution to avoid this?
Dirk

Hello,
no, I am not talking about the tools palette. Just place an image control with some image in it on a new VI front panel. Then, use the rectangle from the tools and select a ROI in the image. If you zoom in (using the magnification glass), and then grab the ROI and move it around, the image scroll with the ROI. So far, so good. If you now place the image control elsewhere on the panel, or add new control above it, resize the panel, etc. , this scrolling when moving the ROI will not work correctly if the origin (0,0) of the panel is far away from the image control.
I have attached a VI for simplicity (although there is hardly any code in it).
If you make a ROI and try to move it down, you will notice that scrolling starts if you move the mouse out to about 10cms below the image (depens on your screen, of course). After that, if you click on the ROI, the scroll bars and ROI might jump up to the upper end of the image. Imagine how annoying this is if you try to finely adjust the ROI position.
I think it is a bug in the implementation of the image display control.
Thanks,
Dirk

Struts Portlet does not show images when it is accessed outside the domain

Hi all,
I am using Oracle 10.1.2. I have created a Struts portlet. When I view the struts portlet from my office domain (University domain) it works well and shows the images properly. However, if I try to access the same page containing the struts portlet from some other domain (my home), I cannot see the images and CSS associated with the page. This might be a firewall issue. Is there any way out?
Best regards,
Omer

I fixed the problem. (YAY!)
It was the way I embedded the files -- the Dreamweaver default does not work properly so I used the embed from this generator: http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/generator/index.html#alternativeContentHelp which now lets my navbar and swfobjects load properly. I also made sure that my slideshow (loader.swf) was set with wmode = opaque while the navbar is set to wmode = transparent. The div for the nav bar has z-index set to 5 while the div for the slideshow has z-index set to 1. Both have absolute positioning. I hope this helps anyone in the future that has trouble with overlaying flash (.swf) files.
Thanks for your reply and trying to help me solve this issue!

Fringe does not go away when zooming out

Hello,
I am using the following set up" Adobe lightroom v2.6, processing raw files from a pentax k10D
I have an image with a noticeable fringe green-yellow fringe between a red rock and a grey-blue sky.
To fix the fringe, I zoomed in to 1:1, and applied a chromatic abberation correction of blue/yellow +60. This seemed to fix the problem when zoomed in at 1:1
However, when I pull back out to view the whole image fitted to the display screen (a 22" MAC screen), the fringe is again visible. When I zoom in again, the fringe is momentarily visible at the magnified scale, and then disapears; it is as though the correction were being applied only when zooming is in effect.
I am concnered that when I try to print the image, the fringing will appear.
Can anyone recommend solutions to this issue?
With thanks,

This is normal. In the Develop module, Lightroom does not apply any of the pixel level edits (sharpening, noise reduction, CA correction) to the zoomed out view. It does this to not make you wait for 10 seconds every time you touch a slider to wait for the entire image to render, but it only quickly renders a low-resolution image. Since a computer screen is very low resolution this makes sense as it is very difficult (actually impossible) except in really extreme cases to accurately preview the effects of these sliders at such low resolution. If you switch back to Library, you will see that Lightroom will render a new jpeg preview where it will employ the corrections and there you should not see the fringe anymore even zoomed out, So don't worry, the print will not have the fringe as for printing (excet draft mode) it always renders the image completely from the RAW file taking all your settings into account.

Messages does NOT delete images when requested

Scenario:
1. Open a conversation in Messages on OS X Yosemite.
2. Click "Details" in the top-right corner. Notice that a popup appears with pictures/images that have been sent as part of the conversation.
3. Select one or more of those image thumbnails.
4. Right-click and choose "Delete"
5. Confirm that you want to delete the attachments.
Now wait. Are the attachments deleted? Not for me. After 5 attempts and 24 hours, the attachments are not deleted. Why? Perhaps Apple should rename "Delete" to "Make a vague effort to delete and then give up".
Numerous tests confirm that "Delete" images in Messages basically does nothing at all .. NOTHING.
Think this is a joke? I got sent a bunch of unpleasant images and deleted them in Messages. Did they delete? Nope! Why not? Why is there a "Delete" option in Messages that does nothing?
This is disgraceful.

Report does not render image when using DoCmd.OutputTo to PDF

Hello All.... and Happy new year !!!
I have a form that has an embedded report and a series of cmd buttons to print the report or export it to file and saves it.
In the report I have an Image object (a logo) that is in the header.
When I print the report to a printer or a PDF printer the image is present.
When I use DoCmd.OutputTo the report is properly exported to PDF and saved but the image is not present.
I've tried playing with the ExportQuality, the "fit to page", etc... but nothing seems to get it working.
here is the vba I use
'Open the report as hidden to filter the data
DoCmd.OpenReport reportToExport, acViewPreview, , filterReportBy, acHidden
'if we show the report
If (booSeeFile) Then
'export to pdf to save and autostart
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, reportToExport, acFormatPDF, filepath, vbYes
Else
'export to pdf to save
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, reportToExport, acFormatPDF, filepath
End If
Any help would be great !

given that you've gone 12 hours with no reply; I generally don't have any problem with the logo going from the Report object to the PDF export. When a report is opened on screen - right click - and one of the choices is 'Export To' and one of those
choices is 'PDF or XPS' - - - just try that as a sanity check....
there are 2 kinds of image controls - I can't remember off hand their formal name but one has the image embedded permanently inside the report object and so this one should go to the PDF.....the other type is a file link to the image for which the advantage
is that image can be dynamically changed on the fly. This second type probably will not appear in an export as the file link is probably broken....
hope this helps a little......

Hi Archers,
My problem is that I use XFCE4 with Thunar file manager and Thunar does not recognize image file formats. I mean for example JPG format is an executable application fromat according to my Thunar, but I'd like Thunar to recognize JPG format as image or bitmap format appearing with small preview of the image.
Any help is appritiated!

Image cannot be rendered because Aperture does not support image format

Dear all,
I have installed apple Aperture 3.03 and the complete Nick software plug-in selection:
• Dfine 2.0 for Aperture
• Color Efex Pro 3.0 Complete for Aperture
• Silver Efex Pro for Aperture
• Sharpener Pro 3.0 for Aperture
• Viveza 2 for Aperture
History
Until a few days ago the system was running ok / no notable issues on performance. / all pug in seem to run good / no issues. Also
• I Run OSX10.4/ Aperture 3.03 ( 32Bit mode)
• My library contains just over 10000 images / approximately 140GB
• I have recently updated the OSX software update including the security update 2010-005
• as well as the Snow leopard graphic update 1.0
• As far as I am aware all updates where automatically recommended by OSX Software update ( no manual intervention).
• As far as I remember after update the system still was running ok but honestly I can not tell you how many times the Nick Plug in started out of Aperture.
After all, Several times I continued using the system / still no noticeable problem until the following was happening:
Problem:
After creating with "PT gui" a panoramic image File type: "TIF" Pixel size: 5112 × 2556 (13,1 MP) I imputed this file in to Aperture (drag and drop). During the attempt to eddied this file with "Nick Define 2.0" the system was hamming up No response for several minutes from Dfine 2.0 / Aperture" At the end I had to "force quit" the applications.
After the consequential reopening of Aperture I tried again to eddied images with any Nick software Plug-In but each time Aperture prepares any image previously stored in my Library ti open the Pug in the following Error message appears:
*"This image cannot be rendered for editing because Aperture does not support the image format"*
Currently non of my previously in the library safed images can be opened in a Nick software Plug-In this applies to all file types I have tied " Raw, tif, jpg"
• I am still able to eddied normally with Aperture ( so far I do not find any other issue)
• A newly imported Raw image after being taken with my EOS 5D can be edited in the completed Nick software Plug-In selection ( so far I do not find any other issue)
The following actions have been taken to overcome the issue (all not successful):
• I restored my Library out of my back Up ( to previous time of event ( no Time machine back up)
• Uninstallation of all Nick software Plug-In selection
• Uninstallation Aperture Reinstallation Aperture / Nick software Plug-In selection
• Repairing the library ( all three possibilities)
• installation of latest EOS utilitys
Questions
• Can you support me to overcome this issue?
• Have you heard similar issues of Nick user Running the Aperture plug-ins?
For me it is really strange that even after replacing the the library in my normally not connect back up the problem still exists (this should be not affected by the event as the back up was not done any more) / new imported images are editable with the Plug-In.
I would be happy if you could support me in this issue.
Best regards,
Matthias
PS: I have reported this issue to Apple (via Aperture feedback) as well as contacted the Nick software support and currently waiting for feedback.

Dear Ma-Le / All
I have just had the same problem
I use
• Aperture 3.03 with a iMac 2.8 Intel Core 2 Duo with all files on external hard disks (mac extended fomat as apple suggests) with referenced masters.
• Camera Nikon D300, with probably 75,000+ images on 2 hard drives
• Photoshop CS2 with PhotoTools 2.5 plugin
This has been working perfectly until yesterday when the system froze when I was using PhotoTools 2.5 with Photoshop CS2 - as a result of which I resorted to a force quit.
Since then on most of my files it has not been possible to use an external editor.
A message appears saying: *Editing Error - This image cannot be rendered for editing because Aperture does not support image format*.
The problem seems to apply to the attempted use of any external editor (including Noise Ninja)
The following have each been tried, all unsuccessfully:
- Using each of Aperture's library 3 first aid options
- Rebuilding directory using Diskwarrior
- Checking for virus using Virus Barrier X4
- Defragmenting library hard disk using TechTool pro
- Changing permissions settings
- Using Disk Utility first aid to repair permissions and checking main disk
- Removing some plist elements when open 'show package contents' of library
- Setting up a(n almost clean) new system, with newly loaded version of Aperture, with a new library from a vault saved prior to the crash when the problem first occured
Several things seem to me to be totally bizarre:
1 - The problem is the same on the other library hard disk which was not in use at the time
2 - The problem still occurs when a back up vault saved prior to this problem is loaded - using a new hard disk with a new system and a newly reloaded and upgraded Aperture software
3- The problem seems inconsistent. It appears to affect some photos but not all. Even from the same shoot, some photos can be edited using an external editor, whilst others cannot (but as far as i can tell most of the photos in a particular album seem to be consistently affected)
4- The only way around it seems to be if I import a new (copy image) from the original master. Then everything works ok, and I can successfully edit that copy image in photoshop / phototools plug-in.
I am beginning to wonder whether what has been corrupted is Aperture's ability to make copies from the master file which it then uses with the external editor (I have no real idea whether this is correct)
Does anyone have any ideas or solutions - or has anyone else been suffering a similar problem?
Eric

I created a theme and a slideshow in iDVD. The theme (intro) plays looped in the preview, but does not go on to the slideshow. How do I "un"loop it?

Perhaps someone on this forum has done what you are asking and would be more help than me.
I think it could be done, but you'd have to do some fiddling around. The concept is to make the iDVD theme part of your iDVD or iMovie created slideshow, so that it will play as part of the slideshow.
I don't know if this will work, but if I were experimenting I would try creating an iDVD project with just the theme in it, and then save that to your desktop as a disc image. When you click on the icon of the disc image you have just created, you will see a Video_TS folder. Open that and you will see a file containing the letters VOB. Open that file.
You need to convert that VOB file back to DV or Quicktime Movie which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need the free download MPEG Streamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/, which I believe costs about $20.
Open MPEG Streamclip and drag the VOB file to its window. Go to the MPEG Streamclip file menu and click on Export to DV.
After the export is done, you will have a DV file containing the iDVD theme. I would try adding that clip as your first entry in your slide show, assuming that you are running iDVD7. (You can't add a movie to a slideshow in iDVD6.) When you play your slideshow hopefully it will play the DV clip containing the theme, then seamlessly followed by your slide show. If it doesn't, try instead exporting the VOB file to a Quicktime Movie, and then try to add the Quicktime movie to your slideshow.
You might be able to do this easier if you created your slideshow in iMovie instead of iDVD. You could make an iMovie with the iDVD theme clip as the lead clip, and then share your iMovie project to iDVD.
Good luck with this. As I said, perhaps someone else has an easier way to do this and will chime in.
