Trying to export original jpeg file # in Lightroom

I cannot seem to exprt my images and retain the orginal jpeg file number once I have watermarked them... I choose the "save with original file number" option in the dop down list but it still exports them with new numbers.
How do I keep my original numbers?

I am importing it straight from the card I shot on in this case & it is not showing the orignal file number in name or number. It shows untitled-1.jpeg on up through untitled-5.jpeg for the 5 files I exported.
It makes no sese.
Not sure what exactly you're doing here.
I mean, you need to import (copying) from card to hard disk, and when doing so, the image filenumber is used in filename if you insert
'Filename number suffix'
or just don't rename upon import.
Filenumber should then be preserved in filename - can you get that far successfully?
Then, when exporting, you choose a rename template with
'Original number suffix'
or just don't rename upon export
and filenumber should be in exported file too - is this where the ball is getting dropped?
PS - feel free to post actual filenames, screenshots, files, ... - the devil is often in the details, and so far you've not provided all.

Hi Ashley Clavette,
The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what exactly happens ? Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

Failed to export the JPEG file

When I attempt to export a jpeg from InDesign I get the following error message, please help:
"Failed to export the JPEG file: File cannot be written.
Disc may be locked or full."
The disc it is writing to has 90Gb of memory free and I've tried knocking the quality of the export down with no success.
I am running CS6 on a fully updated Macbook Pro.
Thanks.

I'm trying to export to the hard drive on the Mac as usual, and have never had this issue before?

How do you export a RAW file from Lightroom?

I am trying to export my RAW files to my desktop (on a mac) so that I can send the files via email. Is this possible?

You can't save it as the original RAW file, (e.g. .CR2 or .NEF) but you can export as a DNG file. Go to File settings > Image Format > DNG.
P.S. You should be able to send an NEF or CR2 file by email as long as it doesn't exceed the file size limit

When exporting to Jpeg file, Ai file layers are missing.

Hi to all. I hope you can help me out. I have an AI file that i'm trying to export as JPEG because the PDF file is 26 mb and my clients want to have at least 3 mb file size. When i do the normal export to JPeg trick, I noticed that a lot of colors are missing, it turns out that not all the layers are included in the jpeg image. I tried going to attributes and deselected the printoverview but i'm still getting the same result. thanks!

cantdesigns,
Obviously, everything that shows within the Artboard/Crop Area should be exported. So unless the layers are hidden, something is quite strange.
I do not know whether it may be a preference corruption.
When something stop working, it may be a preference corruption. In order to restore the preferences, you may either Ctrl/Cmd+Alt/Option at startup, or Move the folder with Illy closed. The latter is reversible and takes care or more issues, but requires a greater effort, especially the first time used. See explanations in the latter
Reinstalling does not replace the preferences.

To keep a back up of original Jpeg files from camera or not?

Somewhat new to Mac coming from PC world. I also have a PC lap top that I have some of my pictures on. I have all of my actual jpeg files from my old PC on the Mac and then have imported copies of them into iphoto.
I have searched these discussions and can't find my question answered so hope I can explain and get an answer.
I think I understand how iphoto works and about the library. I am enjoying using it, but with problems others have from time to time I would think most people would still want a backup of their actual jpeg files stored on DVDs or external hard disk is storage space is not a problem. I can see if you only use a Mac and keep a backup of your iphoto library you would be fine, but if you changed back to a PC this library backup would not work and you would still want a copy of all your original jpeg files to start over on a PC.
Do any of you keep a backup of your original files backed up?

I definitely know not to make any changes in the iphoto library itself.
Good that goes a LONG way toward avoiding problesm
If I understand you correctly is there a way from within iPhoto to isolate all of your orginal files, if that is what you want, to transfer just them to an external in order to then load on a different PC computer i.e. my laptop?
iPhoto does that - all originals are in a folder in the iPhoto library named "originals" - you can copy it for use somewhere else (I do not recommend it but you can and if you make no mistakes it is safe - i make lots of mistakes so sty out of my iPhoto library) or select the Photos you want elsewhere and export with kind = original
I have a 2TB WD external drive I am using with Time Machine, so my iPhoto library is backed up there. Would you also suggest, to be perfectly safe, backing up the iPhoto library to a 2nd external.
I personally do that - it is certainly a personal choice and and be overkill - but I do it
As I add new pictures to iPhoto and backup to this 2nd external would the library file just overwrite the previous backup?
again your choice - I keep about 4 versions plus the current one on my internal drive which get daily cloned to my EHD - essentially overwriting the old so my EHD is never more thatn a day behind my main system (except when I do an major upgrade and turn the EHD off for two to three weeks to be sure the upgrade went ok)
I don't want to sound paranoid, but I just cringe when reading posts of people losing all of there pictures.
Its hard not to be paranoid when everyone is out to get you - and hard to be too paranoid when it comes to backups - bad stuff will happen
But as to reading about people losing all of their photos - that does not happen - in all of the posts I've read here I have not seen a single case of iPhoto or the Mac losing a single photo - iPhoto has lost track of them (mostly due to user mistakes - sometimes computer glitches) and people have had to start over with their originals losing their keywords, edits, etc but no photos actually lost
So the short answer - I like having both a clone and a TM backup plus the other ones I make - it may be too much for you or you may do more - TD adds a web based backup to his scheme for example

InDesign CS6 "Failed to export the JPEG file. File cannot be written. Disk may be locked or full."

I get this error "Failed to export the JPEG file. File cannot be written. Disk may be locked or full." when sending small (3"x3") and large (40"x60") files to a printer hot folder. Sometime if I close the program and restart it will let me export. What could be causing this to happen?
I am on Windows 7 with 4GB RAM PC.

I guess the printer is grabbing the file before it is entirely written…
Workaround: Do not save to a hot folder. Move the files after exporting to the hot folder.

After syncing a JPEG photo from ITUNES to IPAD, how large is the file on IPAD? does the answer depend on the size of the original JPEG file in ITUNES?

1) Does downsizing the original jpeg photos to be synced with IPAD help reduce the total storage required on IPAD for the photos? What is the relationship between original JPEG file size in ITUNES vs final synced photo file size on IPAD?

Thank you for your response.
The sync process compresses the JPEG files -- the question is how much, so that I can determine a) how many photos 32 gigs will store in sync, and b) can I reduce the memory required by taking smaller jpeg files with my camera

Help, i am trying to print my JPEG file that i created in photoshop at a photo lab but it is coming out like an X-ray. I have printed these files before so i have no idea what i am doing wrong.

Could it be something i have done in my settings?
or when i am saving the file to JPEG?

Basically you're approaching this the wrong way around. What you need is the extreme sections to be quieter, not louder. The problem with moving the lower end of the audio is that you'll move the noise floor too, and get what's generally referred to as a 'pumping' effect. So what you do is to use a compressor to tame the peaks, and leave the lower level sound alone. When you've done that, you amplify (or normalize to a level you can determine) the whole signal. So the noise floor will be higher, but constant and not pumping. 'Match Volume' is a completely different tool for setting the overall levels of different tracks so that they sound approximately the same - it doesn't even begin to do what you want.
If it's music you are treating, then I'd almost certainly use the multiband compressor, because you get less artefacts with this. You need to experiment with the threshold levels, and almost certainly not use a massive compression ratio - 3:1 or 4:1 should be sufficient (although it's hard to tell without actually hearing the audio). You can tell what it's doing at any given point because the downward meter indicates how hard it's working. In theory you can apply make-up gain with it as well, but personally I leave that until everything's treated and use the 'Normalize' tool to set an absolute max level.

You can't import MPEG-2 files directly to FCP X.
Can you play this file in Quicktime Player? If so, then you can use the free program MPEG Streamclip to convert this to Quicktime. Use the ProRes codec.

I am trying to export the PDF file and conversion fails every time.

I am trying to export the PDF file and conversion fails every time. File is too large of too complex. What do I do? One file is about 55 mb and the other is 58 mb.

Try extracting part of the file and see if the extracted part can be Exported. If so, repeat with the next set of pages. When done, try to load all into the first file.

If you want the same export settings on some or all of the images you can select all that have the same export requirements and export them as a group.
If all the images have the same requirements then you can select them all and run the export command.

Why has adobe acrobat changed the dimensions of my original jpeg file?

Why has adobe acrobat changed the dimensions of my original jpeg file? I uploaded an A3 jpeg file and adobe converted it to pdf but the scale is all wrong. Why is this? What can I do about it?

Normally if you open a graphic in Acrobat, it automatically adjusts the PDF to the size of the graphic. It sounds as though you are doing something else to create a PDF. It would help to know how you created the PDF, you seem to be suggesting you did it with an online tool and not Acrobat. In that case you should go to the appropriate product forum.

Trying to Export an .MOV file to a .WMV file

I am trying to export an .mov file to a .wmv file using Quicktime 7.0 Pro. It exports the file fine, but it does not convert the entire file, the last part of the file is not there. The .mov file is 1 min and 16 secs long, and the exported .wmv file only comes out 29 sec long. Anyone have any ideas why it would do this? Thanks.
Rob

You can use VisualHub to convert to WMV without restrictions.
It's only available in the wild, because it's no longer supported. You can also download it on this page:
http://www.wyodor.net/MoreEmbed/embedmedia.html
Edit: To convert WMV to a h264/AAC movie without restrictions you need the Beta version of the free Flip4Mac for Snow Leopard.
It contains a bug that was later fixed. [Read my blog about it|http://translate.google.nl/translate?js=y&prev=t&hl=nl&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wyodor.net%2Fblog%2Farchives %2F10-01-200910-31-2009.html&sl=nl&tl=en] (Google translation, so smile) where you can download the Beta. Simply Install it and be happy.
