2.3 Cannot Edit Local Adjustments

Today, I opened up Lightroom and it told me 2.3 was available. I had been waiting for this before downloading it from Adobe Labs, in case some terrible thing happened and I would have to reinstall 2.2. (Terrible things seem to always happen to me.)
Now that I've updated, I cannot edit my local adjustments. The grey dots no longer appear on photos I edited before the update, or on new ones that I began editing after the update. The graduated filter works fine and shows its grey dots, but the adjustment brush does not. I restarted LR and it's still giving me a conniption.
Anyone else experiencing this? I couldn't find anything on the web or in the forums that related to my problem. Is there some preference setting that changed? I reported this as a bug on 2.3 in the Labs, but would love to hear if anyone else has resolved an issue like this.

Yep this got me too. H will fix it, but it sure is bizarre behavior that is hard to figure out until you know the key.

Couldn't delete Local Adjustments (Dodge, Burn) from Virtual Copy/Photoshop Edit

Setup: Lightroom 2.3 on Mac with latest OSX
1. I applied some settings to an image in LR, along with some local adjustments using the LR Adjustment tools.
2. I made a virtual copy of that image to apply some further adjustments, and I wanted to remove the local adjustments from this copy, so I deleted the adjustment points from this virtual copy. I also clicked "reset" on the Local Adjustments panel.
3. I do a Command+E to open up the virtual copy image in Photoshop for further edits. Problem: in photoshop the effects of the local adjustment tool are still displaying. There are dodge and burn marks in the image per the local adjustments I made in the master image, but removed from the virtual copy.
4. I rechecked the virtual copy and could see no sign of the local adjustments still in the file.
To resolve this, I had to return to the master copy, delete the local adjustments in the master copy, and create a new virtual copy.
Is this normal... I should be able to remove a local adjustment in my virtual copy and let the master copy keep its adjustments, no?

No. You cannot be taken seriously.
1. Photoshop is not Illustrator / Fireworks / Premiere / After effects / Dreamweaver / InDesign. Thank god Adobe. It is already bloated enough.
2. Much worse: your improvement list is sometimes faulty.

False. Press first Alt and move the layer a little bit upwards until you see the light line.

Oracle Forms 11gR2 - Cannot deploy locally from within Forms

I cannot deploy locally from within forms. The server is up and running and I can deploy the form by putting the correct URL in the address line of the browser window. When I try to deploy from within forms it comes up with some crazy URL that differs everytime.
This is what the URL should be and this works from the browser:
http://machinename:7002/forms/frmservlet?form=WRD608ADMIN_11g.fmx&userid=&otherparams=useSDI=yes
Here is one of the URLs it came up with when I try to run it from within Forms:
http://localhost:60231/lysVL2VjqT33znjfvLwanktVRxTIc6dEwVeRNXXRmhYU2qjf
Localhost is always there, but the rest varies.
In Forms, I have the Preferences, Runtime set to:
http://machinename:7002/forms/frmservlet
Where machine name is my PC, it is the same for this address as the URL above that works directly from the browser.
So what am I missing?
Thank you in advance.

Generally speaking, it is discouraged to manually edit any of the configuration files if they are managed by WLS Console or EM. In this case, default.env is managed by EM. Therefore, changes to the file should be done through EM. If however, you want to alter the file manually, the following is likely the best way to accomplish this:
1. Stop the WLS Admin Server and Node Manager
2. Locate the proper file you wish to edit. By proper I mean, there are several copies of most config files. Most of the config files found in the Oracle Home are actually template files and are not used at runtime. Altering these will not give you the change you want. The default.env you want would be here (assuming Windows)
C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\ClassicDomain\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_FORMS\applications\formsapp_11.1.2\config
If you are using a "Development" installation type, the above path will reflect AdminServer instead of WLS_FORMS. Remember that Development installations are not for multi-user purposes. Production deployments require the "Deployment" installation type, which can also include the Builders.
Do NOT make any changes yet.
3. Once you find the correct file, create a backup copy. Then open the file for edit (not the backup).
4. Make the desired changes and save.
5. Restart Node Manager and Admin Server if you plan to use them.
For more information about using EM to manage your configuration, refer to the product documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E38115_01/doc.111210/e24477/configure.htm#CHDCCGHI

Lightroom has a hard time with local adjustments:

Local adjustments: Spotting / Cloning / Healing Brush, Adjustmenst Brush, Graduated filter
I posted the piece below as a response to thaehn’s post “Lightroom freezes on Dust Spot Removal” but I thought the topic is important enough to warrant its own post.
This in advance: I'm running WIN XP SP4 with all available patches; have 4 GB of RAM; have a dual-core processor at 3 GB.
Apart from my drive C, I have two internal hard drives in Raid 0 configuration (thus they show up as one drive). I also have an external hard drive that's in Raid 1 ( "mirroring') and is connected by fire-wire 400.
Yes, LR "freezes" when using the dust spot tool and also when using the adjustment brush or - but to a lesser degree - when using the grad filter.
My observation though is that it's not a true "freezing", because if I wait long enough LR starts working again. So when using these tools, LR gets extremely busy und just doesn't have enough resources left to respond to further commands right away - but it "stores" the comands and acts on them eventually.
If I turn on my task manager I observe the following when using these tools: the CPU gets extremely busy (i.e. the green bar is at 100%) while the RAM usage is high but not to the max. The "freezes" occur when and as long the CPU works at 100%. If the CPU is below 100% LR responds sluggish and the response is normal again when eventually the CPU usage is at 0%.
Also, in my observation, this behaviour of LR is compounding, i.e. the wait-times for my CPU to get back to 0 are increasing, the longer I work with these tools or the more photos I work on. Re-starting LR does not bring change: the behaviour establishes itself when using the tools again. It is as if LR needs to do some work in the background and that this background work piles up the longer I work in LR.
I am not a software or hardware specialist, so the following observations are somewhat subjective and not really quantifiable.
In Photoshop I observed a similar behaviour (although never as bad) when working on files of 500 MB and above. It was particularly bad when working on photos residing on my external RAID 1 hard drive. I had a hunch that it might have to do with the reading and writing from a drive that a) is external and b) is in RAID 1. It is known that RAID 1 has slower writing (and also reading) speeds than RAID 0 (or no RAID at all). So in Photoshop I managed to cut down on the unresponsiveness by moving large files to my internal RAID 0 hard drive and working from there.
From this experience I come to the assumption that some of the "busy-ness" in LR (or of the CPU) is due to reading/writing to/from the hard drive.
To test this assumption for LR, I moved some photos from my external (RAID 1) to my internal (RAID 0) hard drive and did some "intensive" work: first some "fancy" lens correction, then a few grad filters, and a "final touch" with the adjustment brush. I thought that LR could handle these tasks somewhat better when the photos were on the internal drive - so some of the "sluggishness" or " freezing" is due to the reading/writing from/to the hard drive.
Acually I cannot explain why this should be so: In my naivete I thought LR writes everything only into the catalog (?), that - by the way - is on my internal RAID 0 drive.
I think it would be good if Adobe could look into this and maybe give us some recommendations, just as they do for Photoshop by saying that the scratch disk should be on a different drive than Photoshop.
But it seems also that local adjustments - spotting, adj. brush. etc - are a very high "number-crunching" business for LR - independent of where the photo is located on the drive. (Interestingly the grad filter is not as bad as the adjustment brush). The clone-tool in Photoshop hardly registers on my CPU and if at all only with a very short spike, while the clone tool in LR sends the CPU through the roof for 10 to 30 seconds- even when the photo in question is on the internal drive.
I'm sure loots of people will now tell me that this is due to the difference between pixel-based adjustment and non-pixel-based ones. OK, I acknowledge that. But still ...
It seems some guys are still in denial about this (or maybe they have two quad processors and 16 GB of RAM):
But it's a fact: LR has a hard time with localized adjustments. There must be by now 100's of complaints to that respect, and that can't be dismissed by blaming it on the hardware specs alone.
I just hope Adobe is working on that.
LR3 is a fantastic program that I would not want to work without. Often I have to work on a lot of photos with a very tight deadline. Without LR it would be impossible.
Thank you,
ErnstK

You are right Samoreen.
I posted my above message in July 2010 and this topic has been re-opened by Adobe under the thread Lightroom 3.3 Performance Feedback
I think it would be best if everybody would post their concerns only under this thread.
Otherwise we'd have two different threads for the same issue.
So let's close this one here.

Editing Local Dynamic Pages - How To?

I figure this should be something simple but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. In the past I believe this is something I was able to do in DW.
I've set up my website locally running off my local server and everything there seems to be working in DW. I can view the live page and live code. However, I can't view the live page and edit that page.
Does anyone have any recommendation on how I can best add some code into a dynamic page? I'm running CS5. Here's a screenshot of an example. Let's say I wanted to insert some simple code where the arrrow is.
I really need some help on this as it's something I was under the impression I could do. Thanks for any help you can give.

When I turn off Live Code and leave Live View on the code displayed is just of index.php (no matter what live page I'm on). So I can't really edit anything.
That's right. Those files contain nothing to edit. It's all just PHP programming that the server parses into content from the database and countless other files (server-side includes).
A WordPress site really is a one page site -- index.php. That page is re-created on the fly each time someone clicks a link or uses the search bar.
If you have worked with WordPress before, you should know you cannot edit dynamic pages in DW. You can only edit the parts that make up those pages. Those parts are inside your Themes folder.
header.php
sidebar.php
footer.php
index.php
single.php
page.php
archive.php
category.php
tag.php
etc...
Design View is pretty much useless. You must be able to work with code.

Cannot Edit Pages

Hello All,
I'm new to DW so please keep that in mind. I have a site
that I need to tweak and have been able to edit most pages in that
site. However there are a group of pages that I cannot edit in any
mode.(Design or Code) Each of these pages displays in yellow at the
top right of the window "Template:internal" I'm not sure what that
means. I have looked at much of the code but have found no obvious
differences between the pages I can edit and those that I cannot.
Could someone help me understand what is going on here?
Thanks, Jeff

> Is DW as bad as FP?
Without a comfort level in HTML and CSS, anything will be
trouble for you.
On the other hand, if you are not put off by looking at code,
then DW's
templates are quite simple to understand and adapt to.
> The site is quite large and has a few sub webs.
DW will not play well with sub webs. Each sub web must be
treated as an
independent site in DW with its own site definition and local
site (although
you could nest your local sites in DW).

Does your site's usage require a testing server? By that, I
mean to ask -
are you using server scripting? If not, then you do not need
a testing
server.

Pages in iCloud cannot edit a converted MS Word to Pages file

For our monitoring program we use some MS Word documents converted to Pages. Using the local Pages app these converted to Pages file works perfectly on our Mac. Life is good.
What we cannot do is edit with the Safari iCloud Pages. It appears these forms were created using MS Word Tables. Yes it opens, but the body of the form is a table, wherein the entire table border is highlighted in blue thus we cannot edit the table as we can using the local Pages.
Other than recreating this and other forms is there something we can do? We want others to be able to fill in these forms from within iCloud Pages in their browser.
MBP, Mavericks.
Cordially,
RicD

The following is from an older post:
You can do this from icloud.com (using a web browser on a Mac or PC). iCloud.com will give you the choice to download a Pages document as a Pages, PDF or Word document.
Please read Apple's Support document titled iCloud: Get documents stored on icloud.com.
HOWEVER, while I can download a word file on icloud as a word file, one of my Pages files can only come back as a Pages file. Perhaps the advice above is no longer appropriate given the changes on iCloud.

Workgroup Manager cannot edit any settings

Authenticating correctly even local but in Workgroup Manager I cannot edit any settings, has anyone ran into this I can't find any help for this issue.

We have this problem often.
It happens when we either change an IP address on a NIC, or when we unplug a network cable etc.
I'm not sure what the proper way to resolve the issue is, but this is what we do.
1. Log in a Root
2. Load Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions
3. Reboot the server (there has to be another option for this?)
4. Log in again and load the Workgroup Manager. Everything should be okay.
If anyone knows a more elegant way to handle this, please post the info as it doesn't seem that great having to do these steps everytime a slight configuration change is made.

Usernames with underscore at the begining cannot edit pages

Hello,
I know that a username (short name) starting with an underscore “_” are reserved by the system accounts.
Anyways I wanted a character to differentiate users by their name and didn’t wanted to use the hyphen.
So with such users, the pen button is never available. You cannot edit their pages.
The fix is to not name your users using a underscore at the begining.
I wouldn’t consider this as a bug but worth to know.

Cannot edit JPG, GIF files stored in a SharePoint 2010 picture library

Created a SharePoint 2010 picture library to store .jpg, .gif images along with other types of images which were created using Adobe photoshop, Tiff etc.
Upon clicking on the .jpg, .gif files for editing purposes, they open in the browser instead of Photoshop so I cannot edit these files for this reason. Other types of image files are editable but not the jpg, gif files. File associations are already
in place for these files to open in Photoshop. Please advise.
Thank you,
Mahesh

Cannot Edit Captions in One File

Hello,
I'm using Captivate 3, and I have this one project file that I cannot edit the captions in. I wasn't having this problem until I imported a slide from another project. Ever since the slide imported, I haven't been able to edit the text captions. When I double click on the caption I want to edit, nothing happen. If I click once on the caption to highlight it, and go to the menu and click on an option to edit the caption, nothing happens. Captivate is only doing this on the project which I imported a slide, every other project I have opened works fine. I tried to save the file as a different name, and I still get the same result. Does anyone have any other ideas? Am I not doing something right? Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello,
Could be that the CP-file or objects have become corrupted. I'd recommend creating a new blank file with the same resolution, and copy and paste the slides to this new file. Better not all at once, so that you could perhaps find the "guilty slide".

I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account. Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my account every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail. I cannot edit the outgoing server; how can I send emails?

I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account (3 email addresses). Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my accounts every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail (the message says that the outgoing server was rejected. I cannot edit the outgoing server, and the keychain will not save my passwords (the ports are valid). How can I change the outgoing server to send emails, and how can I avoid having Mail request my passwords every 2 minutes? Verizon, as usual, will not provide support to iMacs.

Is there an email saved in your drafts or outbox folder? I suspect that Mail is continually trying to send it, and each time Google is rejecting the email message.
You can open the message and then delete it from your Outbox folder. Then try removing all @gmail email addresses from it and seeing whether you can send to the other folks. I suspect that will work.
With email, if an SMTP server *can* verify email addresses, sometimes it will and it will refuse to send messages. If a message has to be relayed across servers, no verification is done, and you'll get a bounce if an email address is bad.

Cannot edit Reminders in iCal

I cannot edit some of the Reminders in iCal on my MacPro. I tried to figure out what's different about the ones I can't edit, and it may be that they are set to "repeat every day" - I can change them on my iPhone with the Reminders app, but it doesn't make sense to me that I can't change that on my computer. I'd like to end the repeat every day w/out having to use my iPhone.
Does anyone know what's the problem - is it fixable?
Thanks

If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine.
You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups. The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more. The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine.
(My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.)
