Pre "Rendering Preview" colours are better - why does LR make it worse?

Hi guys
When I upload a photo for the first time and then view its larger preview for the first time. When lightroom is generating its preview, it takes a second to generate it. When it generates the preview, the colours that it generates arn't as good as the first image of the photo you see. The photo changes colour after its generating the larger preview... and the generated colours are not as good.
Why does this occur. In all cases the colour of the photo prior to the preview being rendered are better than the colours once it has finished generating.
Cheers
Anthony

Ok cool that makes sense... If I didn't take the photo in landscape mode or anything like that, do I just shift it back to "Camera Faithful"...
Yes and No. The profile is not chosen based on what you were shooting with (this only affects your JPGs), but based on the default, which is Adobe Standard (see also below). But switching it gives you another point to start your editing on.
Also I have a fair few photos that I would like to change back from "Adobe Standard" to "Camera Faithful" is there any way to do this on mass?
1) To change multiple photos to a specific profile:
In Develop:
Set one photo to the desired profile
Select all additional images to have the same profile in the film strip (Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click)
Press Sync...
Deselect all settings but Calibration
Hit Synchronize
2) To make a certain profile default for all imports for a specific camera type:
Set one photo to the desired profile (do not alter any other parameters, as they will be set as default also)
Press Alt and click on Set Default ...
Hit Update to Current Settings
Note: The Defaults set this way are valid for imports for a specific Camera Model, limited to a Camera Serial-No. and/or ISO Setting, depending on your settings in Preferences/Presets.
Lastly, are the colour profiles better in LR 3...
Somebody else will have to answer for this question, I think they are basically the same, but the underlying algorithm has been vastly improved. Btw, "better" is a generally a bad word when refering to camera profiles. You'll find lots of posts here regarding this subject, e.g. here.

I want to simply sync my android and my mac itunes without downloading any software. Windows phone has an app to do that even though apple and windows phone are competitors. Why does android not make an app or why doesnt apple create an software or something

Apple didn't create the Windows Phone app (Microsoft). Apple has nothing to do with this, and Google should do an app for this

Why does JDBC make me commit a query?

I was working with two DB2 database connections, A and B, and performed the following logic:
Turned off AutoCommit for A and B
Updated A
Updated B
Committted A
Rolled back B
Selected from A
Selected from B
Updated A
Committed A
Closed Connection A
Closed Connection B
Everything worked well until I tried to close Connection B. It threw a SQL Exception with the description "invalid transaction state". I read online that this means you are trying to close a connection with uncommitted data. It didn't make sense because the only thing I had done since rolling back was SELECT. When I tried it with a rollback or commit immediately before closing the connection, it worked. Any ideas why it would make me commit a SELECT? Is this just an unintended bug or could they have implemented it like this on purpose?

I also first was wondering why a select should be committed.
But also a select can cause locks that influence other connections. How, depends on the isolation level you set. For example SERIALIZABLE would block inserts by another connection that would change your retrieval in case you repeat it.
To make the DBMS know that after your retrieval your processing of these data is done - no changes following - you must end the transaction by commit (or rollback - would be the same here since you've done no changes).

Does this look more familiar? It's basically a standard bash function. The code you posted, called a forkbomb, creates a bash function called ":" which calls itself recursively twice through a pipe and sends the recursion call to the background. Basically, this causes the process to fork (or split) itself forever. This creates a huge number of processes which overrun your CPU, causing your precious computer to freeze/crash/whatever.
Sending the second function call to the background causes the calling function to not wait until the call returns. Since there is no stop condition for this recursion, the function would wait forever allowing you to kill it and all its children with ^C. Since the recursion call is running in the background, the calling function will complete immediately making it damn near impossible to kill its child processes.
So why call it twice? Because of the recursive call in the background, the calling process dies as soon as it makes the recursive call. Hence, if we only call it once it will always have one process replacing its parent, defeating the purpose of a forkbomb.
What's the point? It's a denial of service attack, plain and simple.

Why does iTunes make a mess out of my TV Shows library?

I'm not really sure where to post this, as it doesn't seem like Apple pays much attention to the official Apple Support Forums, but I'll give it a go nontheless.
The thing is, as most Apple TV owners I have to rely on iTunes for handling my media library in order to get it working towards my Apple TV (currently an Apple TV 3rd Generation, Rev A) which is perfectly fine. I find iTunes to be very well organised and owning several OS X systems, only using iOS devices and everything my music library already consists of only ALAC (Apple Lossless) music tracks and I like to keep all my audio books in M4B (AAC) simply because it’s much better organized this way. As long as all the metadata is done right one can’t really complain about how iTunes is doing things other than the Windows version being rather slow when you start filling it up with content, the OS X version is vastly superior in terms of performance and overall stability but I guess that is to be expected.
I have absolutely no problems with my ALAC (Apple Lossless) music library, no matter how many tracks I add they are all there, with the correct metadata and everything. Same goes for my audio book library, the only ones being somewhat troublesome are those I’ve got in MP3 format instead of M4B (AAC) as they get automatically listed as music instead of audio books, but that’s fixed within a matter of seconds just marking them as audio book in iTunes metadata. My movie library, which used to consists of loads of self-ripped Blu-Rays encoded to MKV’s with either Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1 is now repacked into M4V / MP4 containing Dolby Digital 5.1 (AC-3) and with the help of metadata downloaded from IMDB they are all listed correctly with the correct metadata, so all is good and dandy.
But when it comes to TV-Shows things starts to get messy. We are still talking about only M4V / MP4 files containing mostly Dolby Digital 5.1 (AC-3) audio tracks, and a few containing 2.0 AAC audio tracks. The problem is iTunes is making a complete mess out of things, no matter what I do.
Some TV-shows are added and shown correctly in my iTunes library, others are just not working out at all! Take my six seasons of LOST for instance.
I tried to redo the metadata on the first six episodes of season 06, but they just won’t show no matter what I do. The weirdest thing with these episodes is that when I manually play the M4V files using iTunes, iTunes recognise them as LOST Season 02 episodes and not Season 03 episodes. So LOST Season 03 - Episode 01 which is "01. A Tale of Two Cities" is shown as LOST Season 02 - Episode 10 which is "10. The 23rd Psalm". That's quite odd, which was the reason why I went ahead and rework the metadata of these episodes just to be sure.
But still it won’t show in the iTunes library and when manually opening the M4V files with iTunes it still shown as being "10. The 23rd Psalm" instead of "01. A Tale of Two Cities". If I open the file with QuickTime Player, Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic Home Cinema they all list it as "01. A Tale of Two Cities" and not "10. The 23rd Psalm" as iTunes does. Watching the playback is making quite clear it's indeed playing back A Tale of Two Cities and not The 23rd Pslam episodes, even in iTunes.
I have no clues why iTunes is making a mess out of the first six episodes of LOST Season 03, it really doesn't make much sense as there is nothing with the M4V files, their contains or their metadata that points towards iTunes recognising it as a LOST Season 2 episode at all.
Just to confirm the metadata in iTunes I tried to remove the whole LOST series from my library and went ahead and added ONLY the first six episodes of Season 03 and nothing else. Then they are showing correctly, with the correct metadata for each and every episode.
But upon adding the rest of the bunch they disappear and suddenly iTunes starts mixing the first six episodes of Season 03 as Season 02 episodes...
As soon as I add any episode of LOST Season 02, 10-15 they seem to replace LOST Season 03, 1-6. So Season 03 is working perfectly, having all the right metadata and everything but as soon as I add LOST Season 02, Episode 10, LOST Season 03, Episode 01 starts playing as LOST Season 02, Episode 10 and then disappears from the library. Upon adding and playing back LOST Season 02, Episode 11 it replaces LOST Season 03, Episode 02 which then disappears from the library and this goes on for episode 10-15 of Season 02 which for some reason replaces episode 01-06 of Season 03.
This isn’t isolated to only LOST, same goes for a few of my House M.D season whereas iTunes is starting make a mess of things mixing metadata of Season 3 with metadata of Season 4 for no obvious reason. This is quite frustrating as this renders my Apple TV quite useless when iTunes is not capable of handling my media library correctly.
Several episodes are missing in quite a few of my various TV Shows as well, some requires me to manually open the M4V / MP4 while browsing my library for it to get listed as it’s not being added while adding the folder to my library.
This has been going on ever since iTunes 10.X, and it’s behaving like this on all my system it being Windows 7, Windows 8, OS X Mountain Lion or OS X Mavericks. Surely something has to be done in order to solve this? There is nothing wrong with my M4V / MP4 files as I’ve re-ripped them, re-encoded them, re-done their metadata and everything without any luck and consider it only happens with various TV shows and not with my music, audio book nor my movie library I see nothing pointing at it being a problem with my content but rather iTunes making it all fuzzy for no apparent reason.

Seems like I actually figured out what was going on.. When I re-do my MKV's into MP4 / M4V's applications like Subler, MKVtoMP4 and other toolkits are grabbing metadata from servers like IMDB.
Upon retrieving metadata they also grab something called "XID" which is supposedly Apple's very own iTunes specific ID or serial if you like for each specific TV show available through the iTunes Store. This seems to be causing the problems with missing episodes and episodes starting to playback as a different episode from another season.
I always wondered why House Season 04 - Episode 01 - "Alone" always got played back as House Season 03 - Episode 11 - "Words of Deeds". It was always the exact same mix-up each and every time. iTunes never seems to mix-up anything other than the same specific episodes each and every time, and all the missing episodes are always the same ones, from the same TV show, from the very same season. I always found that a bit strange as I would expect library mix-ups from iTunes to be somewhat random and not consistent like this.
So I tried to simply tried something completely random, renaming House Season 04 - Episode 01 - "Alone" into "RARW Season 11 - Episode 42 - "Come at me bro"" and House Season 03 - Episode 11 - "Words of Deeds" into "TESTING Season 04 - Episode 05 - "Testing this"" and it will still do the same, now my randomly generated metadata of "RARW Season 11 - Episode 42 - "Come at me bro"" was played back as "TESTING Season 04 - Episode 05 - "Testing this"". So it clearly had nothing to do with whatever metadata I added to the video within iTunes, it would continuously mix-up the very same episode no matter what.
So then I grab my toolkit to see what kind of information was garter from IMDB's database to see if I could spot anything weird going on? I didn't really see anything, but I noticed the XID with it's "Apple:vendor_id:2003-tt0367279" input, so even though these two episodes had different XIDs I tried to simply input my very own like "House Season 03" and "House Season 04" and then all of sudden everything worked out perfectly.
I'm not entirely sure whos to blame here. As the XID was indeed different I see no reason why iTunes should confuse one for the other in the first place, perhaps there is something fuzzy with the iTunes database or something. I don't really care though, I see no value in having the "correct" XID as long as my iTunes library is showing and playing back everything correctly so now I have just went ahead and re-done ALL my XID's of every TV Show to have their very own for each season just to make sure nothing like this ever happens again.

Why Does iTunes Make Combining Songs Into a Single Album So Difficult?

Can anyone explain, or refer me to a website, that explains and lists in a "1,2,3" manner the illogic of the iTunes "get info" panes and why iTunes splits, combines and erases data depending upon what you put in the "get info" area. I have looked at many websites with suggestions and some work and some don't. The frustration I have is that I cannot decipher the logic of what iTunes is doing. Some comments and examples:
1. I thought it was convention when you highlight multiple anythings, and specify a change, this change is done on all highlighted things. For example, when I want to combine several songs into a single album, highlight them all and fill in information in the "get info area", sometimes it combines, sometimes it splits the songs, sometimes it erases the artwork. Even when I specify "part of a compilation".
2. Sometimes when I add "various artists", it combines the various highlighted songs but then erases the artwork.
3. One would think that when you specify any songs as "part of a compilation" that would automatically force these songs into a single album. Sometimes iTunes does, and sometime it does not.
4. Even when I think I have entered exactly the same information there apparently is something different. It has taken me up to 15 minutes first of very careful checking of spelling, spacing, etc. then just totally randomly changing something before I can get songs together.
5. Why isn't there just a very simple button that says something like: "no matter what, force the highlighted songs into a single album? Is there any way to simply and easily force songs together into a single album no matter what is in the individual "get info" areas?
Anyway, you get the idea. Surely there is some set of rules or logic that I am totally missing. Thanks.

Thanks, that was extremely helpful but unfortunately this very well laid out website confirms the fact that this is a very un-Apple-like interface that is confusing, contradictory and extremely difficult to use. Not sure if anyone from Apple reads these threads, but in the next version they need to do an extremely serious remake. I think this part of the interface must have been designed by refugees from the PC camp who somehow got hired by Apple!
Thanks again.

Why does AddWatermark make file so big?

I have created a 600 x 253 72 dpi gif file. It is only 36kb in size. When I take a 7 page 220kb PDF file and do a cfpdf action="addwatermark" to the file, it grows from 220kb to a whopping 1.3 MB!
Strangely enough, if I open the same file in Adobe Acrobat Professional and manually add the exact same gif file as a watermark to the exact same PDF file, the result file actually got SMALLER!?!?!
You don't believe me? Try it yourself.

PDF File if I add the image as a watermark in Adobe Acrobat Professional 8: https://www.calcerts.com/BB4031_AdobeWatermarked.pdf
The code I used was this:
<cfpdf action="addwatermark"
source="d:\BB4031.pdf"
destination="d:\BB4031_WTF.pdf"
image="D:\images\logo_main_watermark_color.gif"
opacity = 2
foreground = "yes"
rotation = 0
showonprint = "yes"
overwrite="yes"
position = "0,250"

//intialize the page event handler component
eventHandler = createObject("component", "CustCFX.betterPdfPageEventHandler.PdfPageEventHandler").init( font=textFont, fontSize=8, textColor=textColor);

//we can pass in an array of strings which name all the interfaces we want out dynamic proxy to implement

//get a reference to the dynamic proxy class

// create a proxy that we will pass to the iText writer
eventHandlerProxy = CFCDynamicProxy.createInstance(eventHandler, interfaces);

while (i LT totalPages) {
   i = i + 1;
   // Prepare to place image on OVERcontent
   content = pdfStamper.getOverContent( javacast("int", i) );
   // Only needed if you are changing the opacity, blending, etcetera ..
   content.setGState(gState);
   // Center the watermark. Note - using deprecated methods for CF8/iText 1.4 compatability
   rectangle = pdfStamper.getReader().getPageSizeWithRotation( javacast("int", i) );
   x = rectangle.left() + (rectangle.width() - img.plainWidth()) / 2;

   img.setAbsolutePosition(x, y);
   content.addImage(img);
   content.saveState();
   content.beginText();
   NOW WHAT?!?!
I tried: content.setPageEvent( eventHandlerProxy ); like in the Footer example, but that errored out. I understand what is SUPPOSED to happen here, but I am not getting the syntax. At this point, I need to apply the eventHandler to the content. But what everything I have tried has errored out.
One thing that I have learned is that syntax is EVERYTHING with script (that's why I love ColdFusion so much, it's much more foregiving for us non-purebread programmers.
so once I hvae initiate the beginText, what is the syntax for applying the eventHandler to content?

Why does Illustrator make you save every file 20 times or more?

OK I exaggerate, but really, saving 3-4 times over and over is quite annoying...

Tom:
What you are referring to is when you save a file for the first time. I used to think "what the hey?" until I figured out why it does what it does...
When you go to save, you type in the file name, but without appending the extension, because you're used to the program doing this, right? Try typing the extension on the end and hit save, it will skip a step, adding the extension is all Illustrator does the first click.
The second main dialog window gathers all the pertinent info you want to save with the file, so that is kinda important.
What more do you want?

Why does NM make my Gmail connect on non-secure?

Hi
just wondering why this is?
Does this now mean that my Gmail Username / Password is passed in plain text because its not on SSL??
This seems to be rather a serious security concern. I would like an answer to this question to determine if I continue with this mail product. I would rather have manual secure connection than insecure automation
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It would seem (after a discussion with Nokia care) that my concerns of security are unfounded.
The rep said that no user authentication was sent between the phone and my gmail. The pathway was that Nokia took my credentials (as discussed) at account creation and then harvested my mail and passed it on to my phone when it arrived.
I assume my phone must authenticate to Nokia when its online so as they know to push it up to me.
So to test this I put in a "lalala" password into my gmail account settings on the phone, restarted it to see if it would connect
It did
This at least allays my fears that password was being passed around in the clear. If it were connecting to Gmail with my phone based credentials it would not be able to connect with 'lalalala'
So clearly then only them mail content itself is passed in the clear.
I can live with that
