Unable to create from an image

Hi,
First use of Kuler/Color CC. 'm logged in, but I cannot get the 'Create from image' function to work - I've tried uploading a number of images as a jpg, gif, bmp, png, but on each occasion I get the 'Selected file type is not supported' message. Is there something I've been overlooking? Any advice gratefully received.
Nick

Hi musti168,
You're going through your entire image pixel-by-pixel and getting each of their values - why don't you just use the IMAQ ImageToArray function?  
On this forum post I found an example of IMAQ ArrayToImage: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/IMAQ-arraytoimage-​example/td-p/68418
You can use some of the IMAQ Image Processing palette to change the image to gray scale - possibly a threshold.

  • Unable to Create a Disk Image of Device

    Hello.
    The MacIntosh is a Mac Mini w/1.83Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. The OS is Snow Leopard, 10.6.2. I am unable to create a disk image of the device "Macintosh HD".
    Here's my procedure:
    1) Reboot the Mac Mini from the Snow Leopard Install Disk
    2) Set Language and then load "Disk Utility"
    3) Select the Macintosh HD from Disk Utility
    4) Set "Create a New Image from Macintosh HD"
    5) Leave the settings as they are (type of disk image is "compressed" target repository is root home dir)
    6) Error message is "Unable to create Macintosh HD (error -61)"
    7) When I then try to create a blank disk image, once again, with root home as repository the error message is "Unable to create name.dmg (read-only) file system"
    Any suggestions how to fix?
    Thanks
    Mike

    you can smb from terminal but it will not help you. you'll need to create a folder which will serve as the mount point first and where will you put it? you can not do it on the dvd. and you can not put it in the main drive itself. but why do you need to do it that way at all. there is no need to boot from the DVD period. boot normally and clone your hard drive to a remote disk image on an smb share using one of many backup programs that can do this. Superduper can do it. so can CCCloner.

  • Why suddenly unable to create a disk image from a CD?

    I successfully created a disk image from a CD only 5 days ago. Now when I try to create a disk image from a CD (with Disk Utility) the Superdrive rumbles along for sveral minutes, while the progress bar indicates that it has reached the end of its progress.
    Only after all that does a dialog box indicate:
    "Unable to create "___.dmg"-Invalid Argument. "
    I haven't added software but did upgrade to iTunes 6. Doubtful that could affect my abilty to create a disk image.
    Would someone kindly shed some light on why this may be happening?
    Steve

    Is it strange that this problem seems CD-specific?
    Some CDs are copy-protected and some CDs are not copy-protected; so, no, it's not strange at all that you should be able to copy some CDs and not be able to copy others.

  • Unable to create restore disk image with Disk Utility

    I've tried three times in order to create a restore image of the users' volume of my Powerbook. I followed exactly the procedure explained typing "man asr" in a terminal window. I booted the Powerbook in target disk mode while connected to my iMac G5 from which Disk utility was run. Every time the disk image creation failed with a log report like this:
    Creating Image “HOME_HD.dmg”
    Initializing...
    Copying...

    Unable to create “HOME_HD” - Input/output error.
    I don't know how my imported music could create such a problem to Disk utility, nevertheless I removed the incriminated song from the Music library but another one raised to be not accessible. Then I booted the powerbook from the supplied Tiger DVD too, and I got an error over the music file, something about an allocation that was 190 instead of 1, I got the volume repaired from Disk utility but the Disk image creation failed again without any hint because booting from DVD does not allow to save log file anywhere. Why on Earth I can't manage such a critical task as back up under Tiger while using Panther everything worked like a charm following the same procedure? Is anyone experiencing something similar?
    Greetings
    Gianmarco

    Hi Lee, thank you for your answer, indeed I've just read carefully your article few hours ago, while I googled the net to find some hints on my issue. I think that I've followed exactly the right procedure to make the back up image, and can't find what is wrong. Actually Disk utility Repair disk successfully repaired the allocation bit (whatever that means) of the music files but that wasn't enough to let the creation of the disk image. Quite odd that the music files where recognized as messed up by Disk utility only booting from Tiger DVD and not while the Powerbook was connected to an iMac running Tiger too.
    I'll do further investigation during weekend.
    Greetings

  • Unable to create a disk image for mass deployment or to restore on other

    I am attempting to create a master 10.5 Leopard image that can be deployed to other Macs, but the restore process fails with the following error:
    *Restore Failure. Could not find any scan information. The source image needs to be imagedscanned/scanned for restore.*
    I setup the master as I want it. I've booted from another drive and used Disk Utility to create a new image from Folder. (If I try to create a new image from drive, I get an error that the disk is in use.) I've run the checksum. I've run the scan image for restore. All process with out any errors.
    The error mentioned above occurs when I try to restore the image to another computer.
    Has anyone else been able to make a master image for deployment without using Leopard Server?

    Hello,
    I am also getting a similar error, but not trying to create an image, but rather reading one I created before upgrading to Leopard. I was having some HD trouble (power surge during install of Quicktime 7.3) that put my HD in any unstable state (resistant to Disk Utility/Disk Warrior,) but fortunately, I'd cloned the HD w/ SuperDuper (anticipating possible trouble during the upgrade.) I then made a disk image of the BOOTCAMP partition on another drive. Now, after re-formatting the HD, installing Leopard and partitioning for Bootcamp, I am unable to scan the image before restoring the disk image to the HD. It might be a FAT32 thing, but I don't think so.
    The error is: Unable to scan "disk0s3.dmg". (Invalid argument)
    The disk utility log is:
    2007-11-08 20:33:43 +0100: Scanning image “disk0s3.dmg”
    2007-11-08 20:33:53 +0100: cannot scan read/write images.

  • Unable to create a Disk Image

    Hi!
    I am trying to backup my boot HD to a disk image, a sparse bundle. I have done this successfully in the past using Carbon Copy Cloner and Super Duper, but this time I am getting an error message in both programs — "The image creation procedure  failed". I have tried two internal HDs on my Mac Pro, and then an external Firewire HD as a target area for the disk image, and I get a same result. FInally I just tried to use OS X Disk Utility to create a disk image from scratch, and this also fails with a dialog "Unable to create name.sparsebundle, Resource Busy".
    I can see there is some systemic issue here, but I don't understand what could that be. I would appreciate any wisdom on the matter, as I really have to backup my HD. Thanks in advance!

    Hello,
    I'm having the same problem. Re-installing the operating system fixed it, but I think Onyx messed it up again. Still not sure what it is that is causing it.
    Reverting the setting on Onyx did not fix, and I don't want to go about re-installing again.
    I'm wondering if you have run Onyx on your system lately?

  • Unable to create blank CD image

    I am unable to create a blank MS-DOS FAT CD image using Disk Utility.

    Format: MS-DOS (FAT)
    Encryption: none

    Hit [Create] button then progress bar appears and moves to completion. Then an error message box appears that says "Unable to create "test2.dmg." (Invalid argument)
    Need to get this done so I can create gift CD's of my photos so if you know a work around for buidling a PC compatible CD I can take that too.
    Thanks so much for your help.
    Frank

    Allan,
    Thanks for the response.
    I am making photo CDs for the parents of my son's soccer team. On each CD I put the JPEG originals plus a Flash slide show.
    In the past this is what I have done:
    1. In Disk Utility -> New Image with above parameters
    2. Mount the new image
    3. Put JPEGS and flash show on the image
    4. In Disk Utility, select the image and select Burn
    If I do this with MS-DOS (FAT) format, then anyone can read it (PC or MAC). If I use the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then it can only be read on a MAC.
    Can you think of another way to create a data CD?
    Thanks!

  • Unable to create a 'computer image' for system recovery purposes using an external drive!

    Just finished another very frustrating long session with HP Tech Support without a resolution to a simple problem.
    This laptop is only 4 months old, but the hard drive is failing, according to constant notifications, and repeated BIOS hard drive diagnostic tests. 
    I wanted to be sure that all back-up/system restore precautions were taken.  Not much to 'back-up' because the laptop is new.  The standard 'back-up' was easily done on a 4 GB flash drive.
    I followed instructions for 'create a system image' in order to make a 'copy of the drives required to restore your computer if your hard drive or computer ever stops working' (instructions right on the page).
    I wanted to create this 'system image' on an external flash drive.  First attempt at storing a system image failed because:  'the drive is not formatted with NTSF.  The G flash drive was easily formatted to NTSF.  Repeated attempts at copying now failed because:  'the drive is not a valid back-up location'  (!?).
    I see absolutely no clear reason why a 'computer image' cannot be created on a flash drive that has been correctly formatted.
    HP Tech Support claims that the reason for this is a 'Windows incompatibility with the program' (used to create a 'system image?).
    No solution was given.  According to HP Tech Support, this is now a 'Windows software problem', which doesn't make any sense to me.
    Standard CD-R data disks (the only ones I have on hand now) are not big enough: 700 MB capacity, but a DVD-R data disk, which has 4.7 GB capacity, may not be enough (especially in the future) for the creation of a 'system image'.
    Since HP Tech Support is incapable of solving a straightforward problem like this, I am asking for some more experience tech geek to bring me up to speed on this whole issue of 'system image' creation, for the purpose of computer restoration, as I am hesitant to go ahead and remove the hard drive, if I haven't properly done everything to 'back-up' as much as I can.

    Again:  HP Tech Support cannot answer this question for me.
    I posted the above problem onto the Windows Recovery forum also.
    There are super-experienced people that view these questions.  (I meant the term 'geek' in an appreciative way:  without users solving problems, everything would grind to a halt!).
    Please, if there is anyone who can comment on this, whether the whole issue of 'system image' is redundant, whether it is necessary at all, I would be grateful for a stab at this.
    I have the sense that the answer is staring me right in the face, yet even HP Tech Support has no idea what it is.

  • Unable to create a recovery image

    Hello,
    I've just bought an HP Pavillion x2, it has a 64 GB SSD.  I want to create a recovery image using the HP utility but when I try to it fails. I think it is because there isn't enough space on the Windows partition in order to create the image.  I have a USB drive plugged in with 27GB free but it seems like it's creating the image on the C drive before it copies to the USB drive. I don't want to delete my recovery partition until I know I've got another copy and I can't find anything else to uninstall to get the 14 GB i need (have 12 GB free). I've only had the tablet a few days so haven't got much on here, have uninstalled everything I've put on here except for the Windows updates I did. I've cleared the temp file wimy user profile.
    Does anyone have any ideas what I can do?
    Thanks
    Juliet
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I did go through the Windows routine of creating a recovery image but it was slightly vague as to whether it would be suitable. Anyway I eventually restored the machine to factory defaults, created the recovery image straight away and it worked fine, then after installing Win 8.1 I ended up with loads more free space anyway.

  • Symbol disappear from stage after being created from an image

    Ok, first, I'm a beginner with Edge here, So I might be missing some obvious solution.
    I want to create a button. I simply change an image to symbol (as I want to animate the buttons).
    Once I do that and test it in preview, the symbol is gone. It never comes back. It's not put to
    'hide'. It's in the timeline...
    What am I missing?

    Hi Zaxist,
    Thanks for wanting to help! I was going put up the project but first I wanted to trouble shooting one last time.
    and... i got it to work!
    I'll put the problem here in case someone runs into this issue as a beginner.
    Steps to trouble shoot:
    There was no code put into the button, Just a simple button.
    I closed the project and made a new project just with an image and created the symbol. It worked. It was still there.
    Then I went back to the project. Turn off every layer except the symbol that disappeared. When everything was turned off, I ran the preview again and the symbol was back! Then I turned each layer back on, one by one... doing previews each step. It kept showing until the last part. then it disappeared again. I then looked at the symbol closely to compare what was different from the other layers.
    It was that every other layer used % instead of px at the position. The symbol used px as position and basicly jumped outside the stage.
    Silly mistake but I am started to understand Edge Animate. It seems that if you use %, it's best to keep consistant with it and not mix % and px in position/sizes for the layers.

  • Can one extract (then edit, modify, etc.) paths created from an image trace? (CS6)

    Hiya Adobe community,
    This may date me a bit, but long ago I used to use freehand as my defacto drawing tool until I switched to AI. Back in those days, I  also used "Streamline" (http://www.adobe.com/products/streamline/) to perform the functions image trace does today. While it's results were somewhat crude, the software provided me the vector points, paths and acnhors i needed. After every trace, I could manually edit the resulting vector traces.
    I have been using CS6's tracing feature, but the one thing I cannot figure out for the life of me is the "Bounding box" issue for an imported image. Everytime I trace a drawing, AI's tracing results always place a bounding box around the traced image area. My goal: To trace an item, get rid of the bounding box and extract the outlines and paths so that I can then modify these to my linking.
    Can this be done? Im sure it can,... I just cannot find out how. (Or am I making crack wishes?) All I'm saying, if Streamline allowed me to edit paths from a trace, then it'd be a shame if AI CS6 does not.
    Check out the attached image for some content. Thanks in advance for any help!

    Thank you my friend. For future reference to anyone else who may be mystified by this, here is the actual location of the command:

  • Lens Profiles created from DNG not always available

    I have created a series of lens profiles for a couple of cameras based on RAW files which were then converted to DNG for the Profile Creator.
    They have been placed where the canned profiles are found, all well and good.   However I notice that in LR3 my custom profiles are not seen when a jpg file is involved although they are available for RAW files.    Strangely both files types have the profiles available under CS5 when either jpg or raw is involved.  Is this normal, or do I have to create fresh set of Profiles created from jpg's, in order to have full functionality in LR3?

    The profile used for JPEG, TIFF, etc must be created from rendered images, not the raws. So, yes you need to convert the raws to JPEG or TIFF then run them through the creator application.
    Lens profiles for raw images will have "(raw)" at end of profile name. The word "raw" will be absent from those created from rendered images.
    CS5 allows you to download both types of lens profile, but they are separate profiles. Camera Raw and Lr3 will only allow you to use profiles ending "(raw)" with raw files whereas the CS5 Lens Correction plug-in erroneously, in my opinion, allows you to use both.

  • Unable to create Disc Image from DVD

    I get the following error when trying to make a copy of a family wedding DVD. I'm using Disc Utility and creating the image as a DVD/CD master (.cdr) file. It gets to about 3/4 of the way and then gives the following error.

    I do not know what that error means. However, if you open up the Disk Utility & go into it's Help Menu & in the search field type duplicating a CD or DVD. There you will find detailed instructions on how to create a disc image from a DVD.
    Good possibility your answer may be found there and/or there may have been something you missed in creating a disc image.
    Good luck.

  • Unable to create an encrypted disk image with Disk Utility

    Hi:
    With our upgrade to Lion a few weeks ago, we're now unable to create an encrypted disk image of any type using Disk Utility any more. This problem occurs on 3 different machines, and is reproducible whether one is using an internal HD or an external FW HD. We can successfully create nonencrypted disk images.
    This is a duplicate post with all the details here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18469359#18469359
    We haven't had any luck with a solution trying various permissions fixes as helpfully suggested by other readers in response to the error message # (-60008 error), so I'm hoping that someone else has run across a solution from the encrypted disk image perspective and that this tag line will generate some help.
    Thank you!

  • Unable to create image buffer after RAM preview

    Running into an odd and frustrating error. Built a comp using the new Ray-traced 3D renderer and now I'm regretting being an early adopter big time with all the problems I've been encountering with it. The latest comes whenever I do a longer RAM preview in an attempt to watch the whole duration of my comp. It will get to about 170 frames or so, at which point I've interrupted by pressing spacebar because I don't need to see all the way to the end of my work area (around 220 frames). It'll play the RAM preview back fine, and even loop it, but as soon as I stop playback, I get this error message: "After Effects warning: Unable to create image buffer." There's only one button: "okay" and as soon as I click it the same error pops up again and it will never go away, forcing me to close AE from the task manager. I've taken to saving before every RAM preview like I used to do with Flash before previewing my buggy swfs for fear I'll lose all my work after previewing. Any ideas about what might be causing this?
    Some more details about my comp:
    1920x1080 @ 29.97

    Yeah, some buffer is very likely not flushing when you interrupt the preview and then there is no more memory on the graphics hardware. Consider setting the work area and your preview options to use only the work area. if it finishes the preview "correctly", it may not suffer the issue. Beyond that - raytracing doesn't/ shouldn't care about the number of items. The math is such, that it makes no difference whether you render a million polygons or just one. Of course there are still limitations due to the GPU dependency, but I doubt you ever truly exhaust the cards' geometry buffers. Compared to pixel data that is a small amount...
