The dreaded "?" in my photo files

I keep all my photos on an external hard drive (f) and use LR6 on my laptop.  Occasionally, LR6 shows a number of "?" in the section files normally indicating that I forgot to attach the HD.  Once I attach the HD and restart LR, everything works.  Sometimes, I get a "?" and I just have to use the "search" function to display LR where the files/folders.  This time, my LR entire file structure is showing '?  When I click right and select 'Search', and then tap on the F: drive, the ' puter shows two complete sets of matching records.  When I choose one of them, an option pop up to "Merge" the two same named folders.  It left me speechless...  Does anyone else have this situation?

    Is it possible to import have only the jpeg file?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    You can't really do this - if you do not want RAW do not pull on it - shoot JPEG only

    The only way to do this is to export (menu, file == > export) JPEG images in a folder on the desktop, delete them photo and wait until they are completely removed from all devices and then réimportent just JPEG images

    The only way to import the JPEG is only to use Image Capture and import only JPEG files

  • The import panorama fusion photo file size?

    Is it necessary to convert files to JPEG when you do a panorama of merger of photo. I keep is said to convert 8-bit to 16-bit and don't know how to do this.

    What version of photoshop elements and the operating system are you using?

    If these are files camera raw, then most likely the camera raw converter is set to open 16-bit/channel files in photoshop elements.

    You can change this by opening a file of the camera, and then, at the bottom of the camera raw dialog thought set the depth of 8 Bits/channel and then press done.

    Try your pano again and see if that makes a difference.

  • Controls the size of retouched Photo file

    When I edit a photo using the PS Express editor and save the edited jpg file, I find that there is a significant file size reduction (7.1 MB to 1 MB).  How can I save the modified file using the edited version and retain the same approximate file size than the original?

    I have the same question when I change using PS Express on my iPad.

    The differences in behavior between web and mobile versions are known, and at the time when they were designed, responding to the needs of the users or the realities of the platform for every type of environment.

    The quality setting used for saving the file is another design, choice that allows intentionally smaller size of the file (in bytes).  A lot of iPhone users and Photoshop Express iPad rely on our application to make quick changes before downloading and sharing.  Some users rely on 3G connectivity and prefer smaller file (in bytes) for a faster download.

    Regarding the last question that you mentioned, it seems that Photoshop Express the thumbnail and not the original RAW image.  Some cameras have a setting to save an image in RAW + Jpeg formats simultaneously.  If this is possible for you, please try this approach.  Otherwise, I recommend that you use iTunes - you import pictures into iTunes (which converts images to a size and a format suitable for Photoshop Express) and then sync them to your device.

    Thank you very much for your thoughtful and insightful comments on Photoshop Express!  Comments like yours is valuable, because it helps us to understand the evolution of the needs of our users.  If you haven't done so already, please make sure that you post your requests for features for quality and preservation of the resolution while editing the files here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.

  • ImageIO reduced the size of my photo file?

    Hello

    I used the code below in an attempt to write an image file in the DB
    BufferedImage originalImage = ImageIO.read (new File("c:\\test.jpg"));)
    ByteArrayOutputStream Baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    ImageIO.write (originalImage, "jpg", baos);
    Baos.Flush ();
    Byte [] fileBytes = baos.toByteArray ();

    Save fileBytes DB if the column accepts the value of type BLOB.

    I used the code below in an attempt to read from the database and write to the file system.
    Bais ByteArrayInputStream = getFileBytesFromDB();
    The BufferedImage = ImageIO.read (bais);
    ImageIO.write (consulterles, "jpg", new File("c:\\test1.jpg"));)

    I noticed that the resulting file size has been reduced by almost half after writing to the file system. Anyone know why?
    :)

    As he says, do not use ImageIO. It's re-encoding JPEG format which is morphing your data. Just copy it in the form of bytes using input and output streams. Much faster, too.

  • Generate the name of photo file photo title - can I do with an automated procedure.

    I imported into pictures of thousands of old pictures with long, descriptive file names.  The problem is that the metadata for the title remains empty for all the imported photos.  I want set title for each photo to its file name.  I've been going through photos and copy the file name to the title on a basis of photo by photo, but I simply have too many images to pass through them without making my job full time.

    Is it possible to automate the assignment of file name for title in situations where the title is empty?  Is it possible to ask for the title to be considered file during the import process name?  (Apple: if not, why?)  Can I write a script to assign the title of file name?

    Thanks for any idea that you can offer.

    There are user scripts to do this

    Script: Change the title filename without Extension

    Script: Batch change the titles to the w/Extension

  • Edit the RAW photo files: labelling and memory hardware constraints?

    I am one of those who deplore the fact that Apple has decided to abandon the opening, the first software package that made me really happy to photo editing.

    But that's it, and I only just recently decided to give a try to the Photos (with other software available as extensions).

    My last shoot is made a 500 + RAW files motorcycle vintage, to be published on a MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inches, mi 2014) 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7 (16 GB of Ram).

    My first surprise is that as soon as I open and move between the photographs, the Mac switches to a high breakdown and seems to prefer this all along the editing session (any other Apps don't open, only the Finder).

    A second surprise (and disappointment) are that in the field "Add Description" she would not accept my full description of a particular photo (i.e. "Laverda 750 SHC") but only keep the first bit and drop the rest (although in a second attempt later that he deigned to maintain the entire description).

    Comment, please?

    My first surprise is that as soon as I open and move between the photographs, the Mac switches to a high breakdown and seems to prefer this all along the editing session (any other Apps don't open, only the Finder).

    Photos a lot of treatment in order to prepare your photo library - previews and rendering of thumbnails, searching for faces after importing new photos in the background. You can keep the pictures running during the night getting there and away. Im still hear noisy fan for awhile after you import hundreds of new photos.

    Photos is long descriptions exception in the field "Add description", but if you press return to add a linebreak, it will put an end to the entry in the field. The text that has been ignored, contains formatting characters?

    I could enter long descriptions of old tests, as long as I don't have to start a new paragraph:

  • How to access the photo files in the Finder?

    I just updated my system to the picture and I can't access my images in the Finder - the show in Finder option file is not available. What should I do?

    The new Photos.app does not reveal the photos managed in the Finder, like iPhoto does.

    You can only reveal image referenced in the Finder, you manage yourself and have not been copied to the photo library.

    If you want to access the original image files that you have imported, use "file > export" save a copy on your desktop.

    The management of the files of origin in the Photos is much more complicated than in iPhoto, so it make much sense to reveal the originals. Photos can simultaneously have several copies of them--in the masters, in iCloud folder or in a folder with temporary items. And if you use "Optimize Mac Storage", there may be no files to reveal to all, because the only copy will be in iCloud and not on your Mac.

  • I lost all the photos, files and programs, can someone help me please?

    I did a system restore (I think) and lost all the photos, files and programs.  Can someone tell me please how do I get back them?

    Lillie

    Looks like your user profile has been corrupted in some way and XP connected to a new profile.  This means that when you connect, you see one of your stuff and can be also lack all the other programs you may have installed previously.

    Note that the system restore do not know or care about the personal files on your system.

    Unless there's a disaster or instead of a system restore you done a system recovery files would be still on your system somewhere - you just find them... and when you find them, you can correct what happened.  If you have made a recovery of the system instead of a system restore, then all is lost and you need to recover from a backup.

    Have you performed a search of Windows to see if you can find some of these photos and files?    For example, you could search for something like "Resume.doc" or a file name that you remember exactly to see if it is anywhere on your system and where it is.

    Why don't you get in Windows Explorer and (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive), navigate to this folder:

    C:\Documents and Settings

    Below, you will see that each user on your system has their own folder for their personal belongings.  You will see also some folders listed user that you do not recognize, but that's normal.

    Under the folder of each user, there is another folder, as "Documents of Jose" and under this 'Jose music' and «De Jose Pictures»  Dig a little and check them all to see if you can find your missing stuff.

    Just take a look in the Control Panel, add/remove programs to see if "missing" programs are still installed, but all not available when you are logged in (you don't have to 'do' something - just look at).

    Assuming that you can find your missing stuff, determine where we (which will make feel you better knowing that it is not really gone), then report back and someone can help you straighten things.

  • I can't open the .jpg files from the desktop using "Windows Photo Gallery" as the default program. They open normally from nowhere elsewhere, but not directly from the desktop. No error, nothing happens.

    If I right click 'open with' open with other programs like IE but not "Windows Photo Gallery". It is not a specific .jpg file, this is all .jpg files. For example... I have a .jpg file in a folder on my desktop, open folder double click, it will open in the "Windows Photo Gallery". Copy and paste the SAME file on the desktop, double-click on, nothing happens. I tried to restart, change the default value of IE, open the file, it opens, by default change to "Windows Photo Gallery" doesn't work... I am confused?

  • restore the photo files missing

    The files were not in the trash. They appear briefly in Exzoombroswer and Piacsa, but disappear after opening the program. I tried to resize a picture to email when it happpened. I remember something about "sharing". Which I ansered YES to.

    Here's a generic article on how to recover lost (including photos) files which can be useful:

    If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky.  They have so-called saves shadow copies, which are deleted or modified files that can be recovered in case changes/deletions made by mistake.  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx more information about how to use this feature to: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=145.

    If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, shadow copies is not available; However, there is an alternative that is free and the shadow copies feature called Shadow Explorer. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/recover-files-with-shadow-copies-on-any-version-of-windows-vista/.  Although it will not help you this time, it could very well save you in case this happens again.

    In case this does not work (not all files are available through shadow - it occurs periodically), here are some additional free recovery programs that might help (try Recuva):

    http://www.r-TT.com/

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/DiskDigger.html

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/easusdfr.html

    http://www.munsoft.com/EasyDriveDataRecovery/

    http://techpaul.WordPress.com/2008/06/23/how-to-recover-your-lost-files/

    The files are not really deleted until they are crushed (although they are no longer available through conventional methods).  If you decide to try these recovery programs, you should stop using your drive hard immediately in order not to replace the data that you are trying to recover.  He slave on another PC and launch the recovery of this PC.  Even now you have definitely lost some of them if you use the same PC.  If you can not do this (slave on another PC), you run the risk of overwriting the data with every action you do on the PC (but you may still be able to recover some or most or even all files - it's a matter of luck).

    Only you can decide if the data is important enough to take the PC to an expert data recovery to recover files (they will have better programs and hardware to do that none of us do, and I've provided above).  Do NOT go to the Geek Squad or one of these centers of store-, they generally don't know what they are doing - it take for expert data recovery.  It will cost you a little and they generally offer no guarantees.  The decision is yours.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!

  • How can I get the tags on the Windows Photo Gallery to attach the photo file?

    In the past, I had problems with the tags disappear as if by magic of my photos after many hours of their entry.  A few years ago I tried, as a measure of precaution, to make the files read-only and eliminate a bunch of change permissions, thinking that might prevent data disappear.  (FYI: it didn't.)  Anyway, recently I have been seized all the tags through the Windows Photo Gallery (mistake #1).  Only problem was, I don't remember I had changed permissions (error #2).  I have since reset the permissions, but now I have a bunch of pictures with labels WPG, but not in the files themselves, and I know from experience that it will be a mistake to keep it like that.

    So the question is this: How can I transfer the WPG tags only to the photo files themselves?  (Please tell me that there is an easy way...)

    Hi mysteryg45,
