subfigsubfloats

What is causing and how to remove the double parenthesis in the example below?

\begin{figure}[htbp]
  \begin{center}
    \subfloat[Bebê chorando]{\includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{baby}}
    \subfloat[Voz de adulto]{\includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{adult}}\\
    \subfloat[Ronco]{\includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{snoring}}
    \subfloat[Chuva]{\includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{rain}}\\
    \subfloat[Som externo]{\includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{street}}
    \caption{Exemplares de espectrogramas gerados.}
    \label{fig:espectrogramas}
  \end{center}
\end{figure}

I had this issues as well, I was trying to use subfigure, but I was having issues. The package subfigure has been deprecated and is considered obsolete. I switch to subfig and my code had both:

\usepackage{subfigure} \usepackage{subfig}

Comment out subfigure and try again, it fixed the issues for me.

[Tex/LaTex] How to put two tables in a table* element so that the tables appear side by side in a two column layout scientific paper

You should use the subfig package.

\begin{table*}
\subfloat[First caption]{\begin{tabular}{...}...\end{tabular}}
\subfloat[Second caption]{\begin{tabular}{...}...\end{tabular}}
\caption{Overall caption}
\end{table*}

This can be used in conjunction with the floatrow package. See the subfig documentation for an example that aligns captions using floatrow.

EDIT:
Your example has an extra \begin{table} that doesn't belong. It also has a blank line which causes TeX to start a new paragraph which is why one table appears on top of the other.

Here's a complete example where I've also cleaned up your tables following the guidelines given in the documentation to the booktabs package.

\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\begin{document}
\begin{table*}
\subfloat[Before processing]{
\begin{tabular}{ccccc}
\toprule
Year & Month & Country & State & Impressions\\
\midrule
2007 & JAN & IN & TN & 3\\
2007 & JAN & IN & TN & 1\\
\bottomrule 
\end{tabular}
}%
\hfill
\subfloat[After processing]{
\begin{tabular}{ccccc}
\toprule 
Year & Month & Country & State & Impressions\\
\midrule 
2007 & JAN & IN & TN & 7\\
2007 & FEB & IN & KA & 13\\
\bottomrule 
\end{tabular}
}
\caption{overall}
\end{table*}
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Subfig, KOMA script, caption – how to suppress some list of figures entries

I would go with the caption package; using the list=no option you can suppress the entries in the LoF for a particular figure or for a group of figures; using the plain format (for the subfigures) you can achieve the desired format for their captions; an example (if this change should only affect selected subfigures, remove the line \captionsetup[subfigure]{format=plain} from the preamble and include it in the corresponding figure environment(s)):

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,BCOR10mm,DIV11,toc=listof]{scrbook}
\usepackage[caption=false, font=footnotesize, justification=RaggedRight]{subfig}
\usepackage{caption}

\captionsetup[subfigure]{format=plain}

\begin{document}
\listoffigures

\chapter{Test}

\begin{figure}
  \caption{A figure with a caption and its entry in the LoF}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}
% this particular figure will be numbered and labeled but won't have entry in the LoF
  \captionsetup{list=no}
  \caption{A figure with a caption without entry in the LoF}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}
  \caption{Another figure with a caption and its entry in the LoF}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}
\centering
  \subfloat[text text text  text text text text text text This is left aligned with no indent.]%
  {%
    \label{fig:a}%
    \rule{0.48\linewidth}{0.48\linewidth}
  }%
  \subfloat[text text text  text text text text text text This is left aligned with no indent.]%
  {%
    \label{fig:b}%
    \rule{0.48\linewidth}{0.48\linewidth}
  }%
  \caption[Bla]{A figure with two subfigures}
  \label{fig:example}
\end{figure}

\chapter{Test two}
\captionsetup[figure]{list=no}
% all figures from this point on will be numbered and labeled but won't have entry in the LoF

\begin{figure}
  \caption{A second figure with a caption without entry in the LoF}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}
  \caption{A third figure with a caption without entry in the LoF}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

Moreover, if it's not too late (there's no deadline involved), I would suggest you to change to the subcaption package instead of subfig.

EDIT: I've added the adjustemnts needed to have the requested format for the subfigure captions.
