Need help with Olympus E-M1 and ACR 8.3 Results

Hi:
1. I'm fairly familiar with photoshop and ACR, but definitely not an expert.   I'm also very familiar with the Olympus RAW files since the E-5 (I've owned the E-5, E-M5 and several Pens); I now recently purchased the E-M1 and I've been having problems getting decent images out of the RAW files (compared to the prior Olympus RAW files).
2. Problem: it just "feels" that the overall tone curve is more abrupt, especially in the highlights.    With the prior Olympus RAW files, the transition from moving the exposure slider to the right and then getting blown out highlights was more gradual;   there just seems to be an overt decrease in "headroom" when dealing with highlights in the E-M1 RAW files.   I know this makes no sense in that the dynamic range is supposed to be greater with this camera compared to the prior ones.
3. Problem: In relation to the above issue, it also seems that the highlight slider is not as specific as it used to be in that when I move it to the left, more of the histogram seems to be affected as opposed to the bright / highlight region.   It now seems to basically counteract any adjustments made to the exposure.   Again, this may be my imagination but it just feels this way.
4. Problem: In relation to the above issue, the other strange observation I've had is that although the histogram of the image shows no clipping, the image may have very bright areas with almost imperceptible detail;   when I click on it and view that data point within curves, it shows it to be well below 255.    In my lame flower shot example (it's not a good example but I couldn't find anything else right now), I would have guessed that in the brighest petal area, that it would be something like 250, but it's only 220.   But when I zoom in, there's really no texure or detail or data.
5. The above issue in re: highlight rendering and control may or may not be related but it's the first time, I've been having issues and I've never had such problems with either ACR or prior Olympus cameras and thus I'm wondering if this is some issue with how ACR interprets the E-M1 file. I did do some comparison with Capture One 7 and that does a definitely better job of highlight recovery in that it seems to more preferentially target just the highlights and definitely does a better job with color rendition.   I have Olympus Viewer 3, but it's so slow and lame, that I haven't done much testing with it.   Any thoughts and advice much much appreciated.

Also, you might want to upload your raw file, a full-size JPG of what you posted, above, and an example from C1 to www.dropbox.com and post a public link, here, for others to experiment with.

Hi Sarar2333! Let's get your text tones working again!
Here's a link with instructions how to enable and change your alert sounds for your text/notification settings on your iPhone 4S: http://vz.to/1stiF8a. You can ensure text tones are enabled by selecting a tone in the "Text Tone" setting. Let me know how that works out for you. Thanks!

Need help with clickbios ii terminolgy and values. Z77A-GD65 / 3770k

Hello All
I recently purchased a Z77A-GD65 board and after searching I've found the differences in terminology between this and my previous Asus board but still have a couple of settings I cant find any info on.
System Specs:
motherboard: msi z77a-gd65
cpu: intel 3770k
ram: corsair vengeance 2133mhz 1.5v
psu: corsair 850w
First things first is I believe I am running in turbo oc mode. I've selected the oc genie tab on the center right of the bios screen and proceeded to change settings there. With cpu voltage on auto and vdroop set to 50% at 4.6ghz. (I'll try and get screenshots of bios settings soon)
The following are the terms I need help with:
In the my oc genie section;
1. Long duration power limit
2. Long duration maintained
3. Short duration power limit
In the main overclocking section;
4. Digital Compensation level (not in owners manual, options auto/high)
5. Cpu core ocp expander (enabled for overclock 4.5ghz+?)
In the CPU Features section;
6. long duration power limit w (does "w" stand for watts?)
7. long duration maintained s (does "s" stand for seconds?)
8. short duration power limit
9. primary plane current limit a (does "a" stand for amps?)
10. secondary plane current limit
11. primary plane turbo power limit
12. secondary plane turbo power
I know those are a lot of settings, but would appreciate any simple definitions as to what they do and recommended values for mild overclocking (4.5-4.80)
Also on my previous board (Asus P8P67 Pro) my 3770k was stable in prime95 for 18 hrs at 4.5ghz fixed 1.155v with only ram timings put in manually and LLC set to extreme.(or whatever max is called in asus bios) Voltage was fixed and everything else was defailts.

Well I'm back. Been digging around for a few days and found some answers to my questions.
First things first s that for some reason I could not adjust voltage values with the + or - symbols. Clearing cmos did not help this. I had to reflash the bios to get this functionality back as well as clearing cmos before and after the flash.
So I figured out the values in the oc genie section are the same as the normal section but only used when your using the oc genie. (numbers 1-3)
Digital compensation level and ocp expander should be set to high and enabled respectively when going for higher overclocks. (4 and 5)
Now for the rest of my questions ( 6 through 12) I have found suggested settings and some info after hours and hours of searching but still have a couple of questions about them.
Long/short duration power limit, and primary/secondary plane turbo limit. I see suggestion settings of 250 or 255. I take it this is simply max supplied watts to the chip? If so why the 250/255 values? Is that the highest the board will give? Is plane turbo limit related to the enhanced turbo stated and how much wattage can be drawn there while the other limit is for any non turbo frequencies?
Long duration maintained, I've seen 60 suggested a lot. Why is this?
There's not an over abundance of info on these boards as compared to asus so it seems info is a little less documented and video tutorials explaining things are next to none.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Need Help with External Hard drives and too much music

I am not terribly tech-savvy, and I need your help. I have a G5 PPC dual processor with an internal 250GB drive. I have two seagate firewire/USB2 external hard drives. One is 250GB and one is 350GB. I want to know how to use them to get my Mac to run faster and better.
My original hard drive is 7GB shy of being full. Almost half of this is my itunes library which is over 100GB. The older (250GB) hard drive has about 150GB of photos/videos.
My Mac is running slow as molasses and when I power up the external hard drives it slows down to what I recall my original Mac Plus ran like.
I use the G5 primarily to work with photos, illustrations and creating the occasional DVD with video and photos. the apps I use most often are Photoshop, Illustrator and Painter. I always listen to music while work.
I hope all of this information is helpful! Here is my question:
What is the best way for me to set up and use these external hard drives to return my G5 to its original blazing (to me) fast speed?
PPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I think you should look at adding two 500GB internal drives. I'd say Maxtor MaxLine Pro for cost, but they also run much warmer (43ºC even when nearly doing zilch) so I'd go with WD RE2 500GB for $40 ea. more.
dump whatever you don't need, trash anything that is hogging space and is just temp file or useless cache. Web browsers can leave behind a ton of small files eating up tens of MBs.
Use SuperDuper to backup/clone your drive.
Disk Warrior 4 to repair (after it gets to 15% free, or just forget for now).
A 250GB drive formats to 240GB and you have ~3% free it looks like.
For every data drive plan to have two backup drives.
Keep your boot drive to 40% used.
And your data drive to 60%.
Backups can go a little higher.
Drives are cheap and inexpensive, especially for the space and performance. And they have improved SATA over the years it has been out.
By doing a backup followed by erasing your drive, and then restoring it, using SuperDuper, which optimizes the organization, skips copying temp files that aren't needed, it also defragments your files. I would do backup daily to different sets that you "rotate." And before any OS update. And do the erase and restore probably every 2 months.
Make sure you keep one drive partition somewhere that is just your disk utility emergency boot drive that is not a copy of working system, used for doing repairs like running Disk Warrior and Disk Utility.
You may need to repair; backup; even erase and restore your external drives. Rather than spend on vendor made case, just pick up a good FireWire case either with drive, or bare (and add your own). I think it'd add 500GB FW drive though.
Why?
To begin backup of your current drive. To leave your other FW drives "as is" for now.
Then install a new internal 500GB drive as well so you now have a good current backup, and you have moved your data off 250GB to 500GB. If anything happens, you have one off line FW backup.
Then begin to clean up, organize, and get your FW drives working. It sure sounds like they have had some directory or file problems.
You can find a lot of Firewire and SATA drive choices over at OWC:

Need help with ext. SWF and XML

I'm trying to create an External SWF to load into my main
site (photography).
Home | Portfolio | Published Work | Bio | Contact
The SWF I want to load externally is Portfolio because it has
5 sections
Those 5 sections are:
-Editorial
-Adventure
-Fly Fishing
-Multimedia
-Weddings
I'm looking to keep this dynamic as possible, but I'm one of
those guys who doesn't write code from scratch, but knows AS well
enough to modify a base or a generic template if ever given. It
would be easier to use one subsection as an example, which could be
applied to all others.
e.g. "Fly Fishing" 1-Main container; 5-10 thumbnails (1
dyanamic thumbnailcontainer)
- I don't know XML (but can modify it). basically having an
ID tag for each image, possibly dynamically generate a thumbnail
too. Also have a spot for dynamic text to load in (captions with
multiple text lines for images upon onRelease - maybe this could be
it's own MC that loads on top of the main photo container)
- on (release) on a thumbnail: there would be a little
information icon that would appear. If you mouse over, it would
overlay a layer over that specific ID photo, and the text appear.
RollOut it would fade out the layer above that specific ID photo.
- Transition: FadeOut/Blur/Exposure Blur, something
interesting to that nature.
- Thumbnails: is it just easier to create thumbnail images
manually, and just create a separate container?
- Image folders: I would imagine each section would have
it's own watch folder. For example "Fly Fishing" would be a folder
"/swfImg_flyFishing/", but perhaps having one XML file.
- XML file details
id
location
caption summary
title
As you can see, if I had one template to build off of, I
could repeat it self for the others. I need help and if there is a
flash component (free or purchase) that does at least 70% of what I
need, please share information. thank you!Portfolio

I know doing a pushback to the client requires Flex Data
Services, but since I don't use FDS I can't tell you exactly how.
But look in the documentation about "pushing" data to the client.
Once you've figured out how to do that, you can trigger that push
once you've finished editing the xml file. You may want to ask over
in the FDS forum.

Need help with configuring web root and root url URL

Hello Folks,
I have been trying for a while to the flex 4 tutorial which asks you to connect to a mysql database. I have been able to configure the DB but cannot figure out what my web root and root url should be. Is there a web service that needs to be deployed or started. Would it be the IP address of the database that I created ( I tried that ) . I get the idea that an apache service must be started somehow on my flex environment and then I must find the root of the apache server. I dont see an apache directory anywhere. I am finding this difficult to know where to begin.

Hi,
First you need to be running a web server on your computer something like wamp/mamp is usually the better choice as most people have had the best success with this server setup(and it has all the current services like php and myssql)
When you use the wizard the path to your webroot is usually whre you located the wamp/mamp install, for windows it maybe something like c:\wamp\www not 100% sure about macs but I think the 'www' folder on a mac is 'htdocs'.
your url is either http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1.

Hard drive crash need help with new iTunes load and backup files

I have looked through the posts and not found my situation.
I had my iPhone synced to a PC computer and the hard drive crashed. I had an extensive library in iTunes, but none of the music was purchased online so I can't simply download it again. It was all from CD's, many of which belonged to friends. I now have an iMac. The music I like is still on my iPhone, but not on my new iMac. When I try to sync the iPhone with my iMac it wants to delete all the music on my iPhone. Is there any way to copy the music off my iPhone first - so I can add it back into my iTunes library?

Yes, luckily I have been in this situation.
You can download a free application that will take your music from your iPhone and place it onto your Macintosh HD.
One of these should suit your needs:

Hard Drive Crash - need help with choosing new drive and installation

My hard drive seems to have crashed. My computer froze, and when I tried to reboot, it got stuck at the startup screen. I started from the system CD, ran the disk repair utility, and it said it could not repair the disk. I ran Tech Tool Pro and it could not repair the disk. I tried to start up in Target disk mode while connected to my older G4 iMac (that I'm using now as my backup), and the disk would not mount. So I need some expert advice - I am assuming the hard drive is toast. I wish I could at least mount it in target disk mode to transfer files, but I haven't been able to do that. I was going to take it in for repair (or possibly buy a new computer), but after reading some of the posts here, I am thinking I could just replace the internal hard drive with a 3.5" SATA drive.
What I need to know is am I correct about this? And is this the right kind of drive for my iMac? Are there any specifications I need to be aware of when ordering a new drive? I downloaded the manual explaining how to replace the drive and it looks doable. I would appreciate any guidance as to choosing the new drive (specific brand names/models would be great), installing the drive, and tips for formatting, etc. Thanks in advance for your help!

Welcome to Discussions - any 3 1/2" SATA drive will be fine, go to [macsales.com] or [smalldog.com] or [newegg.com] and choose whichever drive fits your wallet. Most of them are reliable, I have heard of problems with Seagate and Hitachi, but there are always some failures with any brand. Make sure to get a good warranty.Instructions will come with the drive, but you can download them from [Apple|http://www.apple.com/support/manuals/imac> as well.

Need help with adding formatted text and images to Crystal Report?

Here's my scenario:
I have a customer statement that's generated as a crystal report and that has a placeholder for advertisement. The advertisement is mixture of formatted text and images. Until now we only had one advertisement that was always used on the report. The new requirement is that we would have a pool of hundreds of advertisements and would need to display one specific advertisement on the customer statement based on various marketing criteria. They key is that the advertisement content will be determined programmatically and cannot be hardcoded into the report. I'm using Crystal2008 with .net SDK.
Here are the solutions I thought of, but I'm still rather lost and would appreciate your help/opinion.
1) Pass HTML or RTF to the report
Not really sure if this is possible and how to get it done. Also how would I pass in images? Would display formatting be reliable when exporting to PDF?
2) Create each add as a subreport and append it programatically
I actually have this working, but I only know how to append a new section to the end of the report and then load the subreport to the section. I have no other controll of the placement. Is there a way to dynamically load a subreport to a predefined section in the main report? How about adding a dummy subreport in the main report as a placeholder and then replacing it with a different subreport? How could I do this?
3) Pass an Image to the report
I would create each advertisement as an image and then would somehow add the image to the report. How would I load the image and control the placement? Could I somehow define a placeholder for the image in the main report-maybe a dummy image to be replaced?
Thank you.

Hello Pavel,
I would got the third way.
You can use dynamic images in your report.
Just by changing the URL to the image the image can be changed.
Please see the [Crystal Manual|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/cr2008/en/xir3_cr_usergde_en.pdf] and search for images.

I'm sorry, you're right! Didn't intend to be lazy...
This line loads the image in the loader 'slideLoader'. This seems to work fine with image files (.jpg), but .swf files are ignored. Is it possible to load both .jpg AND .swf files in a loader, or do I have to use some other method for this?
slideLoader.load(new URLRequest(unesc_xmlSlideshow..image[intCurrentSlide].@src));
Thanks again,

Need help with Bootcamp 1.2 and firmware on my MB

Boot Camp Assistant 1.1 was working fine but I decided to update it with version 1.2 for the new drivers after it came out. I trashed the Boot Camp Assistant.app from the utilities folder and ran the 1.2 installer. The upgrade appeared to go fine but when I run Boot Camp Assistant.app I only get "Boot Camp Assistant cannot be used: You must update your computer's boot ROM firmware before using this setup assistant".
When I check the FW on my MB I find that I have:
Boot ROM Version: MB11.0061.B02
SMC Version: 1.4f12
When I look on Apple's support pages I find that the latest Boot ROM version for my machine is MB11.0061.B03. I guessed that this is why Boot Camp 1.2 was not working but didn't understand why I had not received any update message from the automatic update utility.
I decided to manually update the firmware and downloaded the appropriate file from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macbookefifirmwareupdate10.html
My surprise was big when I was going to run the update and I got "ALERT: This computer does not need this update".
I don't know what to do now. I have tried to reinstall Boot Camp 1.2 without been able to run it. Why cannot I update to MB11.0061.B03?
I appreciate your help. Thanks a lot.

I have been trying to find the place where it says that the firmware update must be applied before bootcamp and I really don't find this info. Could you please point me to where you have read this information?
To re-install OS-X is a painfull process for me because I don't have access to all the appz that I have installed from where I am at the momment, I would have to wait to come back to my work base and ask for the CDs again and this is not possible until maybe 4 months.
I really think that re-partitioning and re-installing everything just for installing a firmware update is really extreme. I could delete the XP partition using Boot Camp assistant 1.1.2b after moving it from the trash (it still works) for putting my drive as it was before bootcamp and try the FW update then, but what confuses me is why am I getting a "Your computer does not need this update" message in stead of "There is a problem trying to install this update"?.
Thank you very much.
