Aperture use and external H.D. for workflow and storage of photos

I was giving Aperture 2 a trial run before I buy, and am liking the things it can do. I take alot of Photos
so storage is always going to be something to deal with on a constant basis. My question is this, in order to not impact the speed or amount of HD space I have available on my imac can I download the Aperture program onto my imac then use a external HD as the place where the photos are imported to,
then worked on, and stored? If this is able to be done then what or how do I back up the photos on the external? (burn a dvd, as this is how I do it now). Does any of this make sense? Or am I worrying
to much about my HD space? My files for my photos are large, 11, to 12 mb per image so space is going fast.
As I have been into the apple world for only a year, let alone computer use in general, I am kinda a newbie to alot of this so please forgive my asking what to some maybe a dumb question.
Thanks for any help to my situation. Jeff

Yes. You have described the use of Referenced Masters that IMO is very preferable for anyone with hard drive capacity limited in any way, especially for folks with single-internal-drive Macs like yours. Another choice would be to use a Managed external Library setup the way Terence described in the previous post, but putting the Library on an external drive is likely to slow operation.
Hard drives slow as they fill (a good rule of thumb is not to fill any drive more than 70%, and for best speed keep important drives no more than 50% full), so you will want your Masters on one or more external Firewire 800 (not USB2) hard drives. OWC <http://www.owcomputing.com/> drives are one good source.
To "Reference" Master images, when you go to import, on the right hand side of the import window select "Store files in their current location." Trying to keep Master originals on a single internal drive usually sooner or later overfills the internal drive.
The Library itself can usually live on any connected drive, including the (preferable!) internal drive, so long as Masters are stored externally. A Library of in excess of 100k images will remain small enough to keep on most well-managed internal drives. As long as the internal drive is kept underfilled it is preferable from a speed standpoint to have the Referenced-Masters Library reside on the internal drive.
If this is able to be done then what or how do I back up the photos on the external? (burn a dvd, as this is how I do it now). Does any of this make sense? Or am I worrying to much about my HD space?
Again yes, you are making total sense. HD space is a huge issue with modern DSLR capture from a standpoint of speed, security and overall images management. We all need to be concerned! As to burning DVDs, IMO they are ok for delivering work to clients but for photogs' usage multiple redundant on and off-site hard drives are more secure and much, much faster.
Note that iMacs and laptops in general are limiting to the performance of heavy graphics apps. In addition to good hard drives management, maximizing RAM will also help optimize Aperture performance on your iMac.
Good luck!!

How can we perform an External Action in the User Creation Workflow

Hi,
How can External Actions be performed in a Workflow while User Creation i.e., what all External Actions can be don, how to do it ?
Can I get a Guide for the same ?
Regards

Hi,
I am guessing you are talking about OIM.Modifying Action classes or workflow should be last options so just give more thoughts on your business requirement. There is no official guide available for Modifying action classes as Oracle does not recommend it.Modifying action class is similar to any web application modification and it will depends on your knowledge and skills of struts and OIM so if you are well verse with what you can go ahead and modifying actions classes.

Set External Field Value by Workflow

Is there any way to Set External Field Value by SPD 2013 workflow?

Hi j.kiani,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update an external column in a list by SharePoint workflow.
I did a test:
Create a list with an external column
Create a workflow , and add ‘Set Field in Current Item’ action, select the field is the external column, set the value to a value from the External Content type data source
Publish the workflow and start it on an item
The external column was changed to the value that I set in workflow. However, when I refreshed the external column by clicking the ‘sync’ flag, the data was changed to the old value.
I used ‘Update ListItem’ action, the result was same
It seems that there is not an OOB way to change external column with SharePoint workflow. You can change the external column by SharePoint web OOB way (Editing item) .
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

I wonder how pro photographers use aperture?I shoot raw and my harddrive is alreay full.I'm not able to import new pictures.Is it ok if i create a vault and delete all my projects in the HD.Can I use an external HD use aperture through the vault??

I wonder how pro photographers use aperture?I shoot raw and my harddrive is alreay full.I'm not able to import new pictures. I don't know what to do. I created a vault. My plan was to create a vault(put all my master files into an external harddrive) and then delete all my projects in my mac pro's harddrive. Is it the correct way to do it ? What should I do if I have thousands of raw files ? How should my workflow be? Can I use an external HD and use aperture through the vault,without keeping the master files on my computer's hard drive?? Or should I shoot raw+jpeg and store raw files in an external backup harddrive and import only jpegs into my aperture library?

There's a bit to learn. It will slowly make sense.
Aperture is an empty field. You're given a tractor and a whole bunch of attachments. What you grow, how, and where, is entirely up to you.
Vaults are for back-up and only for back-up. They have nothing to do with storing your working files.
When your Library outgrows your system drive (and for good performance, you should leave c. 20% of every drive empty), it's time to convert some of your image's Masters from Managed to Referenced. ("Managed" and "Referenced" refer to Masters, not to Libraries.)
There are hundreds of posts in the forum, and several pages in the User Manual on using Masters.
Many people run Aperture with the Library on their system disk, and most (or all) of their images' Masters on external FW drives. This is a good set-up. Note that you will likely have to take steps to back-up the data on your external drives.
If you do the above, there should be no reason to delete any Projects.
The choice of RAW or RAW+JPEG or JPEG depends on the kind of work you are doing. I capture RAW only -- but I don't do any commercial shoots. Pros on deadlines report that the RAW+JPEG works well for them. Capture JPEG if it saves you time. IMHO, there is not a good reason to shoot JPEG to save space (space is cheap; time expensive).
Short-term solution: buy and use a FW800 external 1 TB drive, formatted "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", and using Aperture relocate the Masters of all images older than 30 days to that drive. (Be sure to change your back-up strategy to include this new drive; you may need a second new drive.)
This general post of mine might help you understand more about Aperture.

New task assigned to user from CurrentItem:UserField using Assign task action is assigned to different user.

Hello !
I have run into "funny" problem.
I have following workflow:
User is creating item in ListA. In new form he needs to put Manager which is User Field column type. From people picker he is choosing login name Domain\jo (Two letters seems to be important here). User is resolved correctly to John Doe. Item is saved and
added to list correctly. In list view John Doe is displayed in Manager column. In view item John Doe is in Manager field. In powershell Id;#John Doe is as a Manager field value.
Now the "funny" part:
After item is added to ListA workflow is started automatically. Workflow is assigning new task to user from Manager (CurrentItem:Manager) field using Assign task action. Now the new task is assigned to different person i.e. John Dimagio with login name DOMAIN\jod
! When I am logging value to wf history of the CurrentItem:Manager field I am getting sth like i;123#DOMAIN\jod . So value is completely different and wrong.
Can someone explain why is this happening?
My guess is that using two letters login name can cause such case but why ?

Creating multiple libraries and using an external drive for data

I'm a recent switcher and new to iphoto. On the windows platform, I used adobe album. I have a around 10k of images that I put on an external drive which is attached to my new imac. I deleted the iphoto folder and redirected it to my images on my external. All is working great. I'm looking for some advise on work flow of file/iphoto management. i.e. I'm assuming the more images I accumulate, the slower I photo is going to run? I hear you can create multiple iphoto libraries. Will that only load the photos that are associated with the library and I'm assuming optimize iphoto's performance versus always loading every photo you have taken every time you work in iphoto? If adding libraries is the way to go, can someone direct me to instruction on how to do this?
This may be beyond this threads scope but I plan to put all my data (iphoto, imovies, itunes) onto an external drive in order to keep the imac main drive as clean a possible. Is my thinking correct in doing so. Any negative repercussion in doing so?

Joe:
I'm assuming the more images I accumulate, the slower I photo is going to run?
You'll have to get quite a lot of photos into iPhoto before you start to see a real slowdown in performance. Users have reported libraries of 40K files and they perform just fine. However, do not keep all of rolls open as that will really do a job on the performance. Just open the rolls you need and close them all before quitting.
Yes, you can use multiple libraries and only load what's in each. I use iPhoto Library Manager to manage and move quickly between 10 libraries. With the paid version of iPLM you can move albums and/or rolls between libraries as needed and keep the keywords, ratings, and comments intact.
Using an external HD in order to maintain sufficient free space (10G minimum is what I recommend) on the boot drive to help optimize performance is a very good idea.
As far as any negative aspects, it would be a good idea to have a second external HD as a backup to the working external HD. You can't be too careful with those image files (and other important files) that can't be replaced.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Windows Client MP is using the default action account to write to the Data Warehouse

Hi,
I have recently installed SCOM 2012R2, and am in the process of migrating everthing from SCOM 2007R2.
Just after I installed the Windows Client MP (version 6.0.7250.0), I started getting this Event 11852:
OleDb Module encountered a failure 0x80004005 during execution and will post it as output data item. Unspecified error
: Cannot open database "OperationsManagerDW" requested by the login. The login failed.
Workflow name: Microsoft.Windows.Client.Win7.ComputerGroup.MemoryTrendsRAM
Instance name: Microsoft System Center Data Warehouse
Instance ID: {16781F33-F72D-033C-1DF4-65A2AFF32CA3}
Management group: 2012SCOMDEV
This is happening every 7 days and only happening on the Win7 Management pack. I checked the DW logs and found that it was using the default action acount (SCOM ACTION)to send to the DW. This account doesn't have access to the DW DB.
I assume it should be using the Data Warehouse action account. This is how the acount is setup
Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong here? I have not had to touch the permissions for any of the other Management packs. the rest of them just work.

I am unable to use my external CD player. I am told that the player is being used by another application, and that is not true. I have quit everything and restarted. I've unplugged the unit. I have a fairly new mac mini 10.8. What can I do?

I am unable to use my external CD player. I have a fairly new mac mini 10.8. I am told that the player is being used by another application, but it's not true. I've forced everything to quit and restarted. I've even unplugged the unit and let it rest. I've turned off and unplugged the mac too. I cannot make a CD. Why?

I misread your message. I thought it said I did not have burn support with the Samsung hardware.
When the CD goes in it says You inserted a bland CD. choose an action from the popup menu or click ignore
open finder
open itunes
open disk utility
make this action the default
eject ignore ok
However, when I am making CDs. I am in itunes. That is where my recordings areI haven't tried to do it from this vantage point.
I don't know how to make a screen shot on a mac.
I go to my playlist and click on the little gear icon at the bottom left and I leave things as they are - preferred speed - maximum. I leave it on audio CD - and then I select BURN.
When I tried this the other day, I could not get it to burn, no matter how hard I tried - everything I could think of, using a different CD, force quitting everything I was not using, restarting the computer, unplugging the CD hardware and plugging it back in after a little while, nothing worked. I got that message that said my player was being used by another application every time I tried to make the CD. This took over an hour. I don't know of another way to make a CD on the mac; I was not using another program or application. Now it seems to be working fine. I am burning another copy of something I gave away.
I wish I knew what caused this. It was a real problem Saturday morning.

Why use an external editor?

I have done a search on this basic question, but everyone is at least one step ahead of me. I found lots of questions about using external editors, but none on why to use one if the first place.
It's self-evident that the basic answer is to extend Aperture's capabilities. So let me narrow the focus of my question as follows:
1. Just out of curiousity, there must be at least some overlap in things that Aperture does and what the external editor can do, correct?
2. Can you share some guidelines as to when you would stay in Aperture itself and when you would use the external editor through Aperture?
3. An obvious question is why use Aperture when you have an external editor? The most likely answer is that Aperture does some things better, and the external editor does other things better. So does it come down to experience in deciding which program to use for what? As someone whose post processing has, for years, been limited to cropping, that's a pretty daunting reality. Any advice anyone can offer to offset my inexperience would be appreciated. For example, someone on a share-your-image type forum just blasted me when I posted something labled as my first effort at using a RAW file. I made "local" changes here and there in the image. He told me I'm doing things "totally wrong" and I should make global changes, and avoid making local changes. I don't know if he's right or not, but if he is, how was I to know that? So again, any advice for a PP newb would be great.
Thanks!
Ben

Good questions, Ben!
And probably the answers are a matter of taste and personal preferences, and depending on the workflow we are using.
2. Can you share some guidelines as to when you would stay in Aperture itself and when you would use the external editor through Aperture?
For me, the escape to an external editor is an occasionally necessary evil, if I really need to do things well, that Aperture cannot do. The problem is, that using an external editor will break Aperture's lossless workflow; it will create an additional original image file, and Aperture cannot undo the edits done in the external editor. And the additional original files will be gigantic 16bit tiffs or PSD files. So I would never use the external editor without a pressing need.
I use an external editor, if I need to create images with transparency or do advanced retouching that requires the composition of two or more images. That are things that Aperture cannot do.
Or, if I have images that need lens correction or perspective correction.
3. An obvious question is why use Aperture when you have an external editor?
I use Aperture first of all, to keep my images organised - my Aperture library is my database of all photos I have taken during my lifetime.
And I use Aperture to edit the images and to keep track of the edited image versions and how they relate. For 99% of my image processing needs Aperture is sufficient and great.

Invoke an application using mxml or action script

Hi all
I am using flex 2.0 beta 3. And i would like to know if any
method is there to invoke a software using mxml or action script.
I tried with URLLoader and URLRequest to load and open a
file, with a hope that the file will open in the default program
that i configured for that file to open. But i got an error saying
Stream Error.
Can anybody guide me to resolve this issue ..
Rakesh

Here is one possible solution:
You can use the ExternalInterface (
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html)
class to communicate with JavaScript. JavaScript can then popup the
media player very easily like this:
http://www.webreference.com/programming/javascript/jf/column5/index.html
The documentation on the ExternalInterface class has a nice
example (in the bottom of the page) on how to communicate with
JavaScript in a browser. Hope this helps,

When I add pictures into MUSE , do the pictures resize for web quality (And so the page loads fast enough) or do I have to do this using an external software like photoshop, etc. ? Thank You

When I add pictures into MUSE , do the pictures resize for web quality (And so the page loads fast enough) or do I have to do this using an external software like photoshop, etc. ?
Also is there any way I can change the contact form email for all of my contact forms at once.
I have over 100 contact forms and i want to make them reach the same email anyway I can do that without going one by one?

If you have placed the image in Muse using File > Place and then scaled the image down in Muse while editing, then Muse publishes/exports the scaled down/optimized image in final output. When using as a Fill, the output size depends on the Fitting option you setup in the Fill options.
As for the contact form email, you would need to specify the email address for each form individually. There is no workflow to edit the same for multiple forms at a time.

How do i use an external display with my macbook pro?

How do I use an external display with a macbook pro?

Just buy the proper adapter cord, such as MiniDisplay port to HDMI for example. Plug it in and it will be automatically recognized. Use System Preferences > Displays to set options.
The display can Mirror your primary desktop or Extend the Desktop.

How to use one Assign action to create multiple context variables

Hello, everyone.
I read some tips from Oracle documentation that said:
Avoid creating many OSB context variables that are used just once within another XQuery
Context variables created using an Assign action are converted to XmlBeans and then reverted to the native XQuery format for the next XQuery. Multiple "Assign" actions can be collapsed into a single Assign action using a FLWOR expression. Intermediate values can be created using "let" statements. Avoiding redundant context variable creation eliminates overheads associated with internal data format conversions. This benefit has to be balanced against visibility of the code and reuse of the variables.
Oracle® Fusion Middleware Performance and Tuning Guide
+11g Release 1 (11.1.1)+
Part Number E10108-03
But I don't know how to do that. Can you show me ?
Thank in advance
Edited by: Doubt_Man on Aug 17, 2011 3:30 PM

if you return sequences, you can declare the return type of your xquery as xs:double*
(notice the asterix at the end)
but I have the impression that in the assign action only the first element will be assigned to the context variable
(correct me if I am wrong)
So in fact you might indeed have to transform the sequence into a element()*, or concatenate it into a CVS string - for instance using string-join

I would like to know if you have to back up a macbook hard drive, can I use a external hard drive that has been previously used to back up several pc 's, or is it best to have a separate external drive for the Mac?

I would like to know if you have to back up a macbook hard drive, can I use a external hard drive that has been previously used to back up several pc 's, or is it best to have a separate external drive for the Mac?

In the Mac side of things, backups usually come in two flavors: clones or incrementals.
A bootable clone is a bit-for-bit copy of all essential files in the startup volume. If using the Lions, clones can be made using CarbonCopyCloner or just plain old Disk Utility. These backups represent the safest protection of your info, but take the longest to do. Recovery is an inverse process: you copy the clone back into the internal drive.
Incremental backups start with a complete backup of the startup volume and only copy whatever changed from the previous run. OS X includes the fully integrated Time Machine backup utility to do this. It is extremely easy to do and takes the least amount of time. Recovery is another matter altogether since you have to start with a freshly installed instance of the OS and have to apply all intervening backups to bring the result to the latest saved version.
As for where the backup takes place, the recommended media is an external dedicated drive or drives connected via the fastest interface available on your Mac: Thunderbolt, USB3, Firewire, or USB2. Network-based backups, wired or wireless, are attractive but may not offer the same performance and hence take longer. Also important to note that the entire drive need not be completely dedicated to a single backup. The Mac's EFI firmware infrastructure allows for an unlimited number of partitions on a hard drive and each can be used for either type of backups.
Holler if you need specifics on how to do each. This was just an executive summary.
