When one decides to edit a photograph what do people use as a rule of thumb to know what to do 1st.Assuming one will change contrast, do something to the color, enlarge a photo, use onOne software to create a frame, delete a wire etc.
View 3 RepliesI am having two problems with Nikon Raw Processing and LR4.1.
1st: I am producing and processing content for ESO (European South Observatory), especially TimeLapses. Those sequences consist of hundreds of Images in hundreds of folders. Source files are either from D3s, D4, D700, D7000 or the like.
Several development changes are applied to single key images in a sequence, and those later applied to all images in that sequence. Problem is that after a certain amount of development changes (that are written in to the XMP sidecar files with LR4), hot pixels start to show up in the images that were not visible before.
Seems like the oversaturated pixel information (Hot Pixel) that is always stored within the RAW images, is lost after a certain amount of development changes.
2nd: is there a known trick how to force LR4 into updating ALL thumbnails after development changes, including those, that are outside the currently visible grid view?
It is very time consuming to manually page up and down the grid to have LR4 updating the thumbnails on each page (of for example a folder of 1200 images) so that one gets a preview of the TL sequence with the current development changes in Library View.
I have been trying all week to find out if there is a way to embed editing information into a file upon exporting it from LR. Can you use metadata? What I mean, is, years down the road, I want to remember how I edited a particular photo... Is there anyway for me to do that so it's in the photo's properties?

what should be the normal steps for treating image?
Like fix levels first, or color first or start with shadow higlights ...?
I find it particularly difficult with night shots as I get color noise in my long exposures ..
I have 30 dirs, each of them with 4 thumbs in it. I want to make one big thumb of every 4 smaller ones, by resizing and fitting them together into square. Like
Thumb1 right next to Thumb2
below
Thumb3 right next to Thumb4
and then save that image.
Would you give me any direction how to do that? I'm with CS3. I did explore the auto and script options in the File menu, but still unable to get idea how to do that, if possible at all
I need to get the visible portion of a particular layer in the final image.Lets say i have 4 layers and some portion of each layer is visible in the flattened image i would like to get the portion from each of the layers. The input will be in xcvf format.I will ideally want to automate this and output to file in some format looking like this,
Layer1 ---> Co-ordinates of visible polygon from this particular layer in the image .
Layer2 ---> And so on.
How to proceed with the script. I think brute force is to take each non-transparent pixel and and find the same pixel in all above layers if it is not found it will be added to the region.Or something exists like selection from alpha combined with multiple layers ?
Or if there is a way to find out for an image with all layers visible which pixel came from which layer ?
Today I'm working on actions that embody steps that do upsampling, and I'm using some of my panoramic images as test input with Photoshop CS6 x64 on Windows 7 I just calculated how many pixels are in the upsampled images, to get an idea of how stressful these actions will be on systems when people run them...
A 25,659 x 6,069 pixel image is no small thing in itself, at 155 megapixels... But upsampling it to 320% original size in both horizontal and vertical dimensions yielded 82,108 x 19,420 pixels - a 1.5 gigapixel image! And I'm working at 16 bits/channel. I was a bit surprised that I am just regularly chunking through gigapixel sized data. And I'm multitasking all the while - browsing, keeping up with eMail, listening to streaming internet radio...
The take-away from this is that with today's computer power and resources Photoshop just blazes through gigapixel+ sized documents now!Seems to me it wasn't THAT long ago we heard about the world's first gigapixel image, and now we're actually starting to hear about the first terapixel images, which are still challenging to make.
advanced batch image processing. I need the following to happen to a folder of images:
1) All images in the folder are resized with constrained proportion to a width of 250px.
2.) They are then combined into one image file placed above each other in a column (literally, not layers). Each image also needs spacing between the other, about 20px
3.) This is then compressed as an 8 quality jpeg and exported as a new image.
So basically I have a folder of images that I want to convert into a long 'gallery' image with spacing between each.
I've been told that I've got 700 images to process and remove the greyish background from each of them so they appear to be on a completely white background.

I was thinking about Core i7 with Quadro PNY FX1800 and 6GB RAM. Is this a good choice or rather overkill ? Off course I was also thinking about a ProMac, but could not find real advantages over a PC.

I want to create an automated image processing. I have LR4.1 and CS6 installed. I also subscribe to the Creative Cloud.
1. Capture an NEF.
2. Apply an X-Rite color profile.
3. Save as a JPG to a specified folder.
4. Save the NEF to another specified folder.

There's some image processing commands in photoshop, like high pass and blur (i.e. low pass). I want more. Is there a way to achieve frequency doubling, or better yet, frequency x N where N is any number the user can specify?
This may be useful for making coarse skin texture look finer. It can be implemented by diving the selected area into small squares, and then shrink each squares to half their original sizes. This would make the details look finer grain (hence frequency doubling). It would open up gaps between the squares, which can be filled in by taking additional samples and shrinking them to fill the gaps. This is similar to frequency doubling in audio processing.
I am a Retoucher and I have a new client that sends me 150 - 200 Real Estate photos per day. They shoot the photos so that I have 1 ambient exposure (Background Layer) and 1 flash exposure (Layer 1) which I then blend together with a recipe I designed for their look. I need to find a way to speed up the processing and although my action executes the look exactly how I need it in a very efficient manner the real time killer is the opening & layering steps.
I know this a long shot but my ideal solution would be to drag the folder of images which are sorted and/or labelled in the correct order in to a droplet and from there it processes the images one at a time but layering the files (ambient as "Background" and flash as "Layer 1"), running the action, has a stop-action on lens correction, asks me where to save, closes the image and continues to the next image.
New to Adobe, I have had several issues with consumers images. I can not find how to save as jpeg and keep photo intergrity. Either the processer (local pharmacy, big name store.. etc) is cropping my images badly. I have been told this is my problem when I save in jpeg format. How do i protect my image? Resize with the pixels? P
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to invoke the iLogic Rule Editor and pass it an existing rule name or external rule for editing?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI need a way to run a rule which is saved in my top-level assembly using iLogic rule which is saved in a part file in the parent assembly.
I have even tried using an external rule in a txt file, but that gives the error "Component: This function can only be used in an assembly." - which makes no sense to me. I hope I am just missing something simple. I cant believe with all its other strengths, that iLogic would be so limited in that regard. Why is there not simply a snippet under the 'Run Other' that allows you to specify an assembly file and the rule name? (like there is for running a rule in a component from the assembly)
I want to simply set a custom iproperty as the Description in each part file within my assembly. I can do this easily at part level with ilogic but I want to be able to run the rule from the assembly level and all the parts run the rule. I am struggling to find a way to do this.
I think this may be the best method I have found but I think it must be far easier?

I am working for customer with a simple item with his iLogic design. He has created a simple form to modify his iProperties. To modify the current material, a multi-value parameter was created and the following rule as a local rule;
"MultiValue.List("MATLIST") = iProperties.Materials
iProperties.Material = MATLIST"
He is now trying to make this an external rule but gets the following error
Error in rule: Mat2, in document: Mat2.iLogicVb
iProperties.Material: is probably a bad material name.

I've edited my photos, resized them all the same and now want to use the "process multiple files" funtion to put a watermark on each image.
In the past this has not been a problem but now when I use this feature, the watermark font size is inconsistent between each image.
I have a 200 photo batch and dont really want to manually put my watermark on it!
I am having quite a difficult time with Autocad 2012. I have worked on a huge file containing an exploded 3D Drawing. Actually I am working on a Catalogue and have to importe and place view of the exploded 3d in boxes and xref bmp files and so on. After a number of computer crashes this morning, I have found that I cannot open the file through it is displayed in preview. At work, I can see part of the file and then a image process something at the bottom left of the screen and I can do nothing more than close Autocad or wait for minutes without ending.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI use gimp for image processing in my job as Forensic Questioned Document Examiner. One of the requirements when we elaborate an image is to be able to relate what modifications have been done to the image, in order to make the result reproducible.
So I was wondering: is there a feature or plugin that records all the modifications, filters, ... applied to an image (taking of course into account undos etc), and perhaps saves them into the resulting file (gimp format at least ) for later reference and inspection?
I have three (and a half-follow-on) questions on DNG nuances/technical particulars (that are prompted by remarks appearing on the last-updated-about-two-years-ago webpage URL...
First, what (If any) image processing capabilities (such as any further highlight recovery/adjustment, or individual color channel enhancement/ saturation improvement, etc.) are unavailable in Lightroom (LR) or Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) if one opens-with/inputs-or-imports-to LR (or ACR), a Linear DNG (linDNG) image file (which by its ‘linearized’ nature has already had certain image attributes ‘baked’ therein), and what image processing capabilities are fully available in LR/ACR for such a linDNG image in an unrestricted/fully-further-adjustable manner?
Second, is the output file produced by Adobe’s DNG converter when one inputs to it (say) a Nikon NEF raw-image file a (what I refer to as) Raw DNG (rawDNG, akin to those that some camera manufacturers’ cameras are now directly storing on memory cards at image capture), or a linDNG (akin to those produced by various RAW converters such as DxO Optics Pro and Capture One Pro)? If the former, is it possible to apply Adobe’s DNG converter to a linDNG input file (and thereby, effectively, ‘unbake’ whatever settings had earlier been ‘baked’ into that linDNG so that the resulting rawDNG would be once more ENTIRELY/UNRESTRICTEDLY further adjustable in LR/ACR?
Third, if one uses either LR or ACR to open/access/edit a linDNG image file, performs some non-destructive image adjustments on that image with that software platform, and saves the results as a new/differently-named DNG file, will that resulting new DNG file be yet another linDNG-format file, or a rawDNG-format file?
I'm experimenting with a digital IR camera. The images are very "magenta" in color and everyone states to simply "swap the Red and Blue" color channels. How can this be done in Paint.net? Is there a plugin that would process IR color pictures?

I opened a 1024x1024 image in GIMP, and manually broke it up into fully black and fully white sections. I'd like to output a file which is just a simple binary array of 8 bit numbers, such that every black pixel in the image has the value 0, and every white pixel has the value 1. This way, I can open it in my C program and then load the array into memory using the fread function.
I haven't been able to work out how to do this. I need to avoid using any files with metadata in them...And unfortunately, even the ppm format has a handful of characters at the beginning. Is there a way to do this?
I need to know how to do the above procedure in lr5 as when i did the processing of one image i saw no tab to click to save the image or move the image or clicking done?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to repeat the following procedure on a large number of images but I am unable to find a way of batch processing to do this for me. The idea is to end up with a small plain boarder around the original image. This is to prevent any image being lost when I order prints due to cropping.
1) open image
2) copy the image
3) create a new image 0.5" larger than the original
4) paste the copied image into the larger new image
5) resize the new image to a given size for example 10x8 for printing
6) Save the image under new name or in a different folder to the original.
