Web galleries and Export why so sharp?

Why doesn't aperature up/downsammple images using
better calculations, some of the pictures here
http://homepage.mac.com/jonwilson/brittaney/ are
sharpened just a bit too much,(most notably 1,2,3,&
7)i found a few other posts that have this problem
but none seem to have to have any answers as to why
it does this. now that Joe has arrived, maybe he can
help?
It has been hypothisized by some that Aperture does additional sharpening on export - I think it would be good for Joe to clear up if it's really doing that or what looks like sharpening is something related to downsampling instead, which I think is what you were also thinking.
Can you post a Photoshop downsampled version of one of the trouble images for comparison? You can open a duplicate version in an external editor, resize and save - when you go back into Aperture it will see the size for that version has changed. Then you can export that version as "Original Size" and it will pretty much be the same as the Photoshop version. I think if the resized version is not larger than the web gallery maximum size it will also pretty much put the resized version in place.

Web Galleries and new iWeb album pages

The new version of iWeb allows for "album" pages that serve as a collection of all the photo and mvies pages that are in a site. This is pretty slick, and allows one to re-order the photo pages exactly like one can re-order photos on one of the photo pages.
I am playing with web galleries, and notice that you can create a widget for a gallery for any iWeb page. When I do this on my album page, the widget shows up, but does not act like or interact with the other picture pages. It is simply a "widget" that sits on the page where it is placed. Has anyone figured out how to get a (link to a) gallery to act like one of the photo pages?
-=[doug]=-

I'm searching the forum for a solution to this too; web galleries look cheap next to the albums, and there's no reason for it. Short of changing all of my albums to galleries, here's my temporary solution, but it's a half-measure:
1) Drop a square on top of your .Mac Web Gallery widget that's just a bit larger than the widget.
2) Select the square, and in the Inspector, go to the Graphic Inspector, and under Stroke, select Picture Frame.
3) Select the frame that matches your album's format, then resize the square until it's just about the size of the widget, or provides the desired border width around the widget.
4) Move the square backward, behind the widget.
5) If desired, add a dummy album name beneath the gallery for visual continuity.
See my example here: http://www.vehphoto.com/sandrift/Photos/Photos.html
This worked for me because I'm using a white background and white frames; your mileage may vary depending on what theme and picture frames you're using. (I can't recall if I enabled additional frames in the Inspector as described in the Keynote forums - if a matching frame appears to be missing in the Inspector, let me know and I'll double-check this.)
Still, it's a sub-optimal solution, because 1) the widget cannot be resized 2) the widget still contains the gallery name, and 3) widgets cannot be rearranged the way albums can - they probably have to be segregated from albums.
I'll be posting feedback on this at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html

Thumbnail Filenames in Web Galleries and Filmstrip

Without file names under Web & Filmstrip thumbnails, it's extremely time-consuming to search 500 images for any given file. Bridge and PS web galleries have gotten this right, so why not Lightroom?

It may be because the slides can be be placed together in a collection and sorted in the grid. When the images are in the right order you can then move to the web gallery.

Web Galleries and overall image migration

Hey all,
I've got a question regarding the MobileMe web galleries. I'm pretty sure that you can create them in three places; Aperture, iPhoto and iWeb. So my question is kind of relating to two methods of creating and collaborating web galleries.
Say that you've created a web gallery in iPhoto in a pinch but use Aperture primarily. Now you're on Aperture and want to continue to update that gallery. Is there a way to migrate that gallery from iPhoto to Aperture. Or, and this is my situation more specifically, say you're on vacation and create an Aperture based web gallery on your Macbook. Now you're back home and want to continue using and updating that web gallery but are now on the Mac Pro. Can that gallery be migrated from the Aperture database on the Macbook over to the database on the Mac Pro?
To that point, how about image alterations and settings. I've captured some 1200 photos while on vacation, tooled around with them on my Macbook while away making color adjustments, adding vignettes and general improvements. Is there any way to then migrate those albums and/or settings over to the other database in the other system? Seems a shame to have to do all that leg work all over again. Perhaps it's just a matter of grabbing album folders from the database package and bringing them into the other database package?

"Migrating" your photos, albums, adjustments, etc. is a piece of cake. Just export the project/s using file export project from your laptop and use file import project on your desktop. Move or share the .approj file from your laptop to desktop in the way you are most comfortable with.
More info here:
[Aperture on multiple computers|http://photo.rwboyer.com/2008/09/managing-aperture-2-on-multiple-comp uters>
As for web galleries - can't answer that one with detail because I find them uselessly frustratingly unexplainably notoriously unreliable and I hate that you have no control over color profile for downloadable images. So I don't use them now after playing with them for a bit.

Aperture Web galleries and own website integration - how flexible are they?

I've mainly been learning Aperture's photo management and adjustments and until today have ignored web albums and books.
Just had a play with making your own galleries for the web and I love the integration of captions. Was thinking I would have to rewrite all of these for my own website. At this stage does the Aperture webpages offer key word searching for website visitors? I'm guessing not but that would be a cool feature. I'm tired of waiting for google etc to work out searching jpeg embedded iptc data.
My main concern is how adaptable are the Aperture webpages to integration with one's existing website. The original concept of my own website was to add an image gallery with shopping cart facilities where people can click on an add to cart icon below each image. Would it be easy to integrate shopping cart facilities to the Aperture generated webpages?
I also wanted to have articles which use my images - I guess the webjournal could be used for that. Again, would it be possible to integrate a shopping cart into that as above?
One last dumb question - I exported a webgallery with one image just as an experiment and see it creates an index.html file. If I want to integrate this into my website (which already has an index file) do I just change the Aperture index file to something like imagegallery.html with an appropriate link on my own website. Or is it more complicated? And what about images I add later on and then export. Do they go to the same export folder and does changing the index file complicate this?
Thanks for any help,
Ross

i have posted a thread in the Aperture Assistant forum about this, and am looking for the same functionality.
yes you can use an external solution like SmugMug or Zenfolio, but to be able to have a synchronised gallery that clients can make selections, that update your library in a synchronised system would be second to none.

Bridge Help | Create web galleries and PDFs with Adobe Output Module

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/using/create-web-galleries-pdfs-adobe.html

Plug-ins that failed to load:
It seems to me that something is wrong with your install. Maybe you did clone a former mac to install on this one? or copies old stuff to the new one. Don't know, it seems easy and quick but I prefer always a new install using a new computer or switching to a new system upgrade.
Lightning effects shows to be 32 bit while I think to know that Photoshop CS5 and CS5.5 are both 64 bit, however Bridge was turned to 64 bit in the CS6 version but that should not mater for you to use both applications from the same install disk (or download?)
And variations is something I tried to find in CS6 but can't find it there. I had long forgotten this feature that presented different previews and you could switch to color corrections and brightness (not sure) while looking at the result in the previews.
So I think you have some old material residing on your system. I would advice you to back up all custom settings (actions, tools, workspaces etc. and keywords in Bridge) Then do a search for the Adobe Cleaner tool :
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html?promoid=GYTAU
(don't know this links work for you but you can find it easy with google).
Read the instructions carefully and follow this using the official uninstaller that came with PS (see application folder). Also be sure to have your serial number and AdobeID present and while an activation of PS is for the computer maybe for security first deactivate before uninstall.

Web Galleries and Passwords

Are web galleries able to be password protected?

Ok Christoph, I think I see what you're saying.
You can only set one password for the top level Web Gallery index page - you would like to send people to gallery.mac.com/mygallery#gallery and depending on how they log on they would then get access to different content - a bit like having more than one gallery really via login/password.
Is that correct?
You probably know that you can set separate login names/passwords for the individual albums on the gallery top level page. You do this in iPhoto by choosing a gallery, clicking Settings, then Album Viewable by - Edit names and passwords.
This would allow you to have top level albums viewable by all, and other albums by individual login/passowrds. The problem with this though is that you can't tell which album you can access for a given username which might confuse people, unless you named the album accordingly Work - Office Party, Family - Joe's Birthday or something and told people which category Work/Family/etc they could access with their logins.

Hi Jerome,
I have gon ethrough your code again and there we are missing the destination plugin.
We have to query the info store to get the disk unmanaged plugin.
Below is the code
IDestinationPlugin destPlugin = null; //Destination plugin returned by InfoStore Query
        IDiskUnmanagedOptions diskUnmanagedOptions = null; //Object returned by the getSchedulingOptions() method
        List listDestination = null; //List object to hold destination file location
        IDestination destination = null; //Destination Interface
        //retrieve the Scheduling Options and cast it as IDiskUnmanagedOptions
        //This interface is the one which allows us to add the file location
        //for the scheduling
          for(int i = 0; i< oInfoObjects.getResultSize();i++)
           oInfoObject = (IInfoObject) oInfoObjects.get(i);
           destPlugin = (IDestinationPlugin)iStore.query( "SELECT * from CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS WHERE SI_PARENTID=29 and SI_NAME='CrystalEnterprise.DiskUnmanaged'").get(0);
          diskUnmanagedOptions = (IDiskUnmanagedOptions) destPlugin.getScheduleOptions();
        listDestination = diskUnmanagedOptions.getDestinationFiles();
          String dest = "c:\\";
        listDestination.add (dest + oInfoObject.getTitle()+".pdf");
          schedInfo = oInfoObject.getSchedulingInfo();
        schedInfo.setRightNow(true);
        schedInfo.setType(CeScheduleType.ONCE);
        //retrieve the IDestination interface from the SchedulingInfo object
        //use the setFromPlugin() to apply the changes we made to the
        //IDestinationPlugin object returned from the IStore
        destination = schedInfo.getDestination();
        destination.setFromPlugin(destPlugin);
          iStore.schedule(oInfoObjects);

Web Galleries and Captions

I know that in order to show captions in a Web Gallery you must copy the caption into the Version Name field. For the most part that works okay, but some of my captions are longer than the image is wide, so it gets cut off. Yes, you can see the whole thing by mousing over it in the index or selecting the I-button to flip it over. Neither of those are intuitive to my viewers, however, and even the I-button field isn't quite long enough for a couple of them.
I found an Aperture plugin that makes a flash-based gallery with Captions that can be exported to a folder. The plugin is called "Flash Album Exporter." Its only downside is that you must export it to a folder and then upload it to your iDisk. If you are hosing somewhere besides MobileMe, that is fine, but I prefer the simplicity of one-click publishing directly to MobileMe.
Is there a better solution for this?

Bob,
When captions are a key factor, I publish as a Web Page, and not Web Gallery. The features of easy downloading for the viewer is not there, nor is the full screen slideshow, but it is a good choice to provide images of an event where the viewer may not have been there themselves and need lengthy captions.
With a Web Page, you can keep the version name, and simply also provide the info you enter into the Caption field of the metadata.

Updatable web galleries, and intelligent upload

It should not be necessary to recreate a web gallery every time you add an image or two to an existing collection which corresponds to that web gallery. Somehow the content and format of the gallery needs to be saved so that you can just update the existing web gallery, adding only the new images and updating the thumbs database as needed.
Then, during upload, some intelligence needs to built in so that only the new or changed files are uploaded, and the whole gallery on the server is not replaced...and so that if an error occurs during upload you don't have to upload the whole gallery...just the part that didn't upload on the first try.
As it is, it takes hours to create and upload a gallery of 200 images...and then I have to resort to an ftp program that can take up where it left off to get it to upload.

Jumpy preview, render and export why? (Premiere Pro CS3)

Hi guys, When I try to import a small video that I took in my Sony CyberShot Camera DSC-S600 (in avicodec) it says my video is:
MPG1 = MPEG1 (VCD).
Resolution = 640 x 480 25fps.
If I just import that video, drag it to the timeline (below), and press ENTER, It will start rendering it without any effect that I've made, and in the playback it will like jump some frames in and out (some in reverse and then forward).
Also If i just import the video and make a playback, it will do the same, if I playback the video outside the premiere pro cs3 it will run just fine as it should be.
My computer is a A64 3800+ 4GB RAM DDR2 800mhz, GF7600 gt 256mb is my video card.

> "...much anything that "also does" video really isn't the right tool for the job..."
If the camera video can be converted to Pro video, then it can be considered "the right tool." Jim, there are a plethora of situations where a compact still camera that shoots video is the right tool. It's your subjective definition of "the right tool" that begs up on an old paradigm. A fictional character, McGyver, never seemed to have the right tool for the job. In fact, the entire idea of invention is to create
i or adapt
the right tool for the job.
That the misinformed come here with questions does not relate. Many more are informed, take the appropriate steps and proceed to tell the story. And move people. Or get paid.
For example: I use a still camera that also shoots video as a tennis instruction tool: A one hour tennis lesson involves recording the various tennis strokes, performing a few quick edits, and placing the results on DVD for the student(s). According to you, I should bring a tripod, a bulky mini-dv video camera, etc. I should take the time to set up the equipment, before my students arrive. I should also take time to move the tripod to capture the various different angles. After the lesson, I should take time (excuse me, real-time) to capture the mini-dv into Ppro and edit.
To me, the video camera is the wrong tool for this job. Instead, I whip out the still camera that also shoots video, walk around to get the angles, shoot the specific strokes requested. Oh-and as a perk, I can take several high resolution still photographs, with a single knob turn. Back in the studio, I dump the clip files on the timeline, w/o real time capture. And I edit.
Students love the video (they don't care/can't tell about the reduced quality--they're interested in their strokes), and they
i also
appreciate the stills.
If I were doing documentary or broadcast, a still camera that also shoots video would be a poor choice indeed. But, here, I'd be stupid to bring both kinds of cameras. However, before the CEs intervened and created just the right tool, I had to bring both. And I hated it.
It's a paradigm shift, Jim. You might not be able to understand it if you suffer from perceptualsclerosis.
And now the CEs have my mouth watering, with EX-F1. Blur the line.

Why do web galleries often appear "digitized"?

I occasionally find after creating a web gallery that it will appear digitized once viewed online, both on PC desktop and laptop.
Recent gallery seemed fine on my La Cie monitor but "off" on my HP laptop. I'm wondering if it's a screen resolution mismatch.
Thoughts?
CS5; Windows 7 - desktop; Vista - laptop; plenty of RAM, etc.

Thanks again.

Subject: Why do web galleries often appear "digitized"?
OK you using a non color managed Browser. Color space may be an issue I don't see an option to convert to sRGB but that may be the default mode of operation. I don't use the Bridge for creating Web Galleries IMO bridge's output module is very poor. I think Adobe short changed their users by adding it and removing better features from Photoshop. I use Photoshop to generate HTML web galleries. I installed Photoshop Old Photo Web Gallery support to generate customized HTML web Galleries and I use Photoshop scripts to generate Flash Web Galleries. While the Bridges upload Web Gallery to web server option seems to be a nice option. I would rather do that as a low priority Background Windows FTP job and be able to use Photoshop during the upload for upload web connectios bandwidth is slow and uploads can be long running. Adobe really disappointed me when they added the Bridge's output module and removed better features from Photoshop. With the Bridge
output module you can not customize Web galleries well and its PDF support lacks the abilities of the PDF support they removed from Photoshop and that PDF support can NOT be downloaded from Adobe's web site and installed into Photoshop. If you need the removed support you have to keep two version of Photoshop installed on you system and forget about getting support for the old version you need to have. Adobe's support is very poor and they drop support for old version of Photoshop like a hot potato.

EPS Fonts using PrintToPrinter and export to PDF on web server

Post Author: leighlmorgan
CA Forum: .NET
I'm trying to print a Crystal10 report from a web server using PrintToPrinter and exporting it to PDF at the same time for audit purposes. My problem is that the report uses Rotis EPS font which doesn't print correctly (substituted by Arial it appears) or export correctly to PDF. But it does print OK from the web client and exports to RTF, Excel and Word OK.
If I logon to the server as the identity account that the web server is running under (in order to have access to installed printers) then it can print Rotis perfectly happily.
I have tried another EPS font and that also fails to print, so I'm guessing EPS fonts are the root of the problem.
What do I need to do to make EPS fonts work?

In a "word"; you can not. Not with the Crystal Reports SDK anyhow. There are ADOBE provided APIs that will allow merging pf PDF files and possibly other 3rd party tools, but no CR SDK will do that for you.
