A Correct IP Profile, or Capped?

Hello all,
This is a little bit different to some messages that I have read on this subject, in that following a network upgrade on my local exchange last week my download/upload speeds have greatly improved. Having said that, and having been a BTInternet customer for some years, I am wondering whether my service is capped in any way, and how I can tell whether I have the correct IP Profiles.
My local exchange is the Ambergate exchange in Derbyshire, and as the Crow flies I am about 2+ miles away, although I am unaware which part of Ambergate the exchange is in.
Today is 5 days since the upgrade took place, and in fairness I noticed an improvement almost immediately. since then I have run several speedtests, which, by and large have maintained the improved settings. I have also tried to keep a record of the ASDL Settings from my Home Hub 2.0. Hoping it helps, I have shown these below.

As you will see they show the settings at certain times on the 21st, 22nd, 24th & 25th of October. Can someone who knows how to interprate these tell me whether it seems likely that my service, as improved as it is, is capped?
If I need to give you any further information please let me know.
I am particularly interested as my use includes uploading recorded videos (church sermons), each about 35 minutes in length. I understand that the times will be affected by the settings I use to encode the videos, so the answer to my question is obviously important to me.
Since the upgrade I have not phoned support at all, as I just wanted to garner the views/opinions of such experienced users (or the mods) that regularly use this forum.
I will truly appreciate any feedback,
Regards,
Alan

Back again - I was able to do the tests a little quicker than anticipated, so here they are, tonight's ADSL test (plus yesterday's for comparison), plus tonight's BT Speedtester results. They seem to confirm that there is a problem somewhere:

  • Correct Color Profile in Keynote '09 (or '08)

    I have been tasked with putting together a photography presentation for six photographers. The presentation will be projected (with two Epson projectors and six color monitors) in Keynote ’09 (and ’08) for a one-night photographer’s gallery exhibit. One of the concerns raised by one of the photographers who has used Keynote (not sure the version, but probably ’08 or earlier) is that there is a "*color shift*" that occurs from the original saved image. All images are exported from (Apple) Aperture, (Adobe) Lightroom, and (Adobe) PhotoShop CS3-CS5 using the Adobe RGB 1998 Color Profile.
    All photographers (including myself) are working with Aperture, Lightroom, or PhotoShop and are saving their final images with the Adobe RGB (1998) ICC color profile.
    Is there a way to ensure “correct” color profiles are used in Keynote ’09 (and ’08)? If so, how is this done?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the discussions, anthonysan.
    There isn't a way within the program to do it, however it IS possible I think. I'll give you some tips to start down that path, and, if you have any questions, just post back here.
    First, go to Keynote preferences and, under General Preferences, choose "Save new documents as packages". Next, create a new document (white theme), change the Master to blank, and place three rectangles on the first slide, each with an EASY to define color. (By "easy to define" I mean pick colors that you would be able to discern numerically, for example 100% red, 100% black, 100% green, etc.) Finally, double click inside each shape and add some unique text. I'm using "firstone", "secondone", "thirdone".
    Now, save that document, then right-click (two-finger-click, control-click) on it's icon in the Finder. You should see an option to Show Package Contents. Select that and you should then see a few folders and some files. You're looking for index.apxl.zip. Double click that one to unzip it, then put the .zipped version in the trash (Keynote can read either just as well). Now, you should have an index.apxl file.
    When you double-click the index.apxl file, you'll have to choose to open it with TextEdit, then search for your unique text "firstone".
    Things get more detailed from this point, but it does lead to a potential solution. Let me know if you're following so far, and we can look at the mysteries within they Keynote file

  • Need correct color profile settings in windows....????

    Help!  Just replaced the motherboard and now all the color profiles in photoshop are wrong....  Does anyone know the correct settings to choose in windows or to choose for the graphics card... it's an AMD Phenom II.  I open Adobe Bridge and immediately the previews lose their color which tells me this is not the correct profile the computer is telling photoshop...  can anyone help, please????

    operating system is windows 7 and the monitor is profiled correctly.... and these are raw images, so no, cannot view in another program....  and they look the same in ps as in bridge.  however, i called adobe and they told me it sounds like a graphics card issue, so i'm going to amd's website to update and reinstall drivers.... not sure what else to do....

    Not enugh information.  Which OS?  Is your monitor profiled?  Can you see your images in any other program, eg Windows Picture Viewer?
    What happens if you open your images in PS instead of Bridge?

    You need to ask the printing service provider. Dealing with color totally depends on the printing process involved and of course the machines used.

  • Correct Lens Profile Not Available for Exported/Imported Image Files

    Any help with this would be appreciated.  I just noticed yesterday that when I have RAW (DNG) files in my LR5.2 library, I can select the correct lens profile to apply.  When I take three of those files and merge them together in Photomatix Pro they come back as a single TIFF file.  Now LR only has one lens profile available, and it is the wrong one.
    This is happening with my Sony NEX-7 and Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR DI-III VC.  With the RAW files, I have a list of Tamron lenses from which to choose, and the correct one is available.  For the merged TIFF file, however, only a single Tamron lens is available for selection, and it is not the lens I used.
    If anyone has any ideas about this and can get me past it, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    ~Steve

    Here's my workflow for this particular situation:  After importing the original RAW files, I apply lens correction using the correct profile.  I export to another application that creates a new (TIFF) file that comes back into LR.  Even though I already applied the correction to the original files, I can see that there is a difference in distortion between the original files and the new TIFF.
    If your other application is opening the Raw file directly, it will likely be disregarding either most, or all, Lightroom adjustments even if they are somehow communicated to it. It will come down to whatever independent Raw support is built into the other application.
    The other application would still need to (a) "understand" about Adobe lens profiles etc, (b) "know" where to find the appropriate Adobe profile on disk, and (c) be equipped to do the specific and proprietary processing that they refer to. The same applies for all the other Adobe-proprietary processing instructions. The only software I am aware of which can do all this reliably, in partnership with LR, is Adobe Camera Raw plus Photoshop.
    I've trained myself that whenever a new file is created in an application outside of LR (including PS), I always re-apply lens correction upon first returning to LR.  If I'm interpreting   the above responses correctly, I shouldn't need to re-apply lens correction if I applied it to the original files.  But again, it's not my observation that this is the case.
    If your particular workflow is failing to reflect the first application of lens corrections (as well as perhaps, other specific adjustments) - then what returns to LR will not have undergone those kinds of corrections yet.
    I'm also hearing that I may need to download a lens profile for this lens for a TIFF file format.  I've never needed to do that before, so perhaps I'll give that a shot.
    As I understand it, Photomatix can also accept converted TIFFs or JPGs from LR - instead of Raw fles. I am skeptical that you will realise any "clear water" advantage from sending Raws rather than TIFF (or even, high quality JPG in many cases) from LR into Photomatix  - assuming the LR conversion is already optimising the images for the required purpose. You would be doing that step in an interactive environment rather than blindly via a generic converter. Such intermediate bitmaps are in my experience perfectly good candidates for HDR processing, or for exposure fusion (which I prefer - though I don't use Photomatix in particular).
    Any workflow which causes LR to in effect Export suitable bitmaps that incorporate all current adjustments, will embody lens corrections as part of that. By the way, the workflow into Photoshop HDR is similarly done by way of converted bitmaps - though in that case it is ACR rather than LR which achieves these converted bitmaps, and into memory rather than into separately saved files, but the outcome is effectively the same.
    The only downside is the "cleanup" is to get rid of intermediate TIFFS or JPGs afterwards. I usually put the completed "merged" image at the top of a "stack" containing the component exposures, and collapse the stack down. But the (disposable) intermediates don't get imported to LR, and by setting these to occur in a subfolder or with a distinctive name suffix, they are easily found and deleted in due course.

  • What is the correct icc profile for jpegs extracted from DNGs?

    Are they always sRGB, or always something else? do they need an icc-profile assigned for colors to be interpreted properly? is the correct profile available as metadata that could be read using exiftool or such?

    Profile/color space can be anything - there is a DNG tag called "PreviewColorSpace" that allows for:
    0 = Unknown
    1 = Gray Gamma 2.2
    2 = sRGB
    3 = Adobe RGB
    4 = ProPhoto RGB
    Good practice would be to attach an ICC profile to the preview, but I don't think there's any requirement to do so.

  • Correct Web Profile - KIOSK for Candidate Gateway

    PeopleTools 8.50.08, Architecture - All Windows 2003, Oracle Enterprise 11.1.0.7
    We were not aware that if an Applicant left their web browser session up past 20 minutes without any activity, the session would expire and redirect an Applicant to the actual PeopleSoft Signon Page, which at point the external applicant would be confused as what to do.
    We need to have the Page Redirected back to the Careers Candidate Gateway Registration Page.
    We tried to change the signon.html to include the CG URL and change the Web Profile Logout Page Value to the signon.html. This caused the session expiration to be redirected to the "Errors Has Occurred" html Page, which we didn't know which html page represented the" Error Has Occurred". Therefore, as a test we changed the entire section for Errors Pages html values to the signon.html and moved the signon.html file up under psftdocs. This change worked; however, what concerns me is changing all the Error Pages html values to the signon.html.
    I don't know if this is really a problem for Candidate Gateway or not because the signin.html is not needed for external applicants, actually there isn't even a logout display on the page for an Applicant to logout gracefully.
    Please advise if you thing the change to the Error Pages html values could represent an issue. We are trying to eliminate anything that would be confusing to an Applicant because actually if they did receive an error more than likely that individual applying for a job wouldn't know how to address it or who to contact for the error. So, we thought it was best to just redirect them back to the Careers Registration Page, which is the signon.html that we changed for all values representing the Error Pages in the Web Profile.
    Does anyone know the correct way or have an example to configure the Web Profile Look & Feel Tab correctly?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Which is correct color profile for my macbook pro?

    Hey there, I make DVD's for a living and I just recieved my new 17 inch macbook pro
    I am about to install photoshop and I am curious.
    Which color profile is correct for video work
    as in, doesnt matter if it pleases me or "looks cool"
    which is the acurate color profile that i can rely on for photoshop work for video (72 dpi etc etc)
    is it COLOR LCD.
    or Adobe RGB (1998)

    Adobe RGB is not a monitor profile.
    By default, your monitor uses the "Color LCD" profile. For accurate color, I suggest you purchase a calibration device and profile your monitor using 2.2 Gamma instead of the default 1.8.
    As for Photoshop, if intend to export for web purposes, your working space should be sRGB.

  • Decision-making process EXIF = correct lens profile

    I created a lens profile for my new camera Sony SLT-A77 with lens SAL-1680Z.
    I use ACR 6.6 with activated feature "Enable Lens Profile Corrections" and Setup = Auto.
    My new profile is found automatically because of EXIF information in the DNG file
    and matching tags in the lens profile file.
    EXIF:Make = stCamera:Make = "SONY"
    EXIF:Model = stCamera:Model = "SLT-A77V"
    EXIF:Model = stCamera:CameraPrettyName = "SLT-A77V"
    EXIF:LensModel = stCamera:LensPrettyName = "DT 16-80mm F3.5-4.5 ZA"
    But my problems start with the second lens. This is Tamron SP 70-300mm.
    There is a lens profile provided by ACR 6.5: "SONY (TAMRON SP 70-300mm F4-5.6 Di USD A005S) - RAW.lcp"
    But the tags in this file aren´t matching the EXIF in my DNG files.
    So I tried to edit the tags like in my own lens profile.
    EXIF:Make = stCamera:Make = "SONY"
    EXIF:Model = stCamera:Model = "SLT-A77V"
    EXIF:Model = stCamera:CameraPrettyName = "SLT-A77V"
    EXIF:LensModel = stCamera:LensPrettyName = "TAMRON SP 70-300mm F4-5.6 Di USD A005S"
    But in ACR6.5 this profile isn´t found automatically. I have to choose manually
    in the Lens Profle menu the Make selector. But I have to choose "Tamron".
    I can´t understand this behavior because the tag is stCamera:Make="SONY" and
    there is no tag with "Tamron" in the profile.
    I deleted all other lens profiles on the computer to exclude problems with another lens profile.
    In the document "Adobe Camera Model V1.0" on page 11 I found the required  EXIF tags,
    but I suspect the mechanism ACR choose a lens profile is different.
    Ingo

    There is also a LensID field in xmp:aux that would affect the lens matching. Bring your photos in PS/Bridge, show the FileInfo dialog, go to the Advanced panel, you can tweak the metadata in the lens profile to match the same values shown in the FileInfo dialog.

  • Lens Corrections: Enable Profile Corrections missing from tab

    The "Enable Profile Corrections" check box is missing from the Lens Corrections tab in Camera Raw (CS5). How do I get it back? I'm comfortable hacking my registry or any settings files.
    I'd like to report this and see if there's a better solution than Ctrl-Shift-Alt on startup.
    Things I've checked:
    The EXIF data for the lens is present and can be read Lightroom 3.
    The "Enable Profile Corrections" check box is present in LR3 and functions.
    After exporting a copy of the same photo to a folder the EXIF data is still visible in Bridge.
    After opening the photo in Camera Raw the "Enable Profile Corrections" check box is missing.
    I've used the option in Camera Raw for months, and had it included in my default CR settings.

  • Correct Color Profile for a 17" PB

    It appears the monitor profile on my PowerBook is not representing the correct color saturation on graphic files I create. It is set to the default Color LCD under the Displays Preference Pane.
    The problem first came to light after I submitted a post card design for my business to our online printer. We have processed many jobs through the same printer and haven't had any problems. Yet on this job, the design looked great on my PB but when I got the printed cards back they were way over saturated. This week I did another new design but this time I sent it to my designer to take a look at it first before I sent it off to the printer. And she said the same thing, the file was over saturated. So she corrected it on her calibrated monitor and I sent the file off for printing. I'm sure when I get the post cards back they will be fine.
    But my question is, how can I adjust the saturation on my PB and do so correctly. The display looks good to me and the colors look right. I have tried the Color Sync calibration tool with no success. And I don't have the resource to buy a hardware calibration device. So my questions are...
    Which Displays profile should I be using assuming the Color LCD is incorrect?
    Does any one have a Color Profile that they've created on the same PB as mine that has proven to been calibrated correctly?
    Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    there have been at least two versions of the pb 17" 1.67ghz, so to get another user's profile you'd need to say exactly which model you have, but age/setting variations mean it may still not be a good match
    i use a hardware calibrator, but even with a custom profile there are still problems, mainly because the displayed image is very sensitive to viewing angle, so even if calibrated it is still easy to get things wrong when adjusting an image
    you may be able to improve on the default 'color lcd' profile this way...
    if you open the display preferences, click on the 'color' tab, and then click 'calibrate' you can create a custom profile 'by eye', you may find this gives better results, make sure you do this after the pb has been left for a few minutes at your usual brightness setting and in the same light conditions you usually work in
    if your pb is the same model as mine i can give you a copy of one of my profiles for you to try

  • Color correction, color profile, colorsync, wide gamut,

    There hasn't been any reply to the threads about color inconsistency in OS X, so I'm starting another one.
    I'm using a wide-gamut monitor attached to a Mac with built-in display. When Preview displays an image, it applies some color correction to it. This leads to unnecessary color warping.
    If the image is solid red, #FF0000, it displays it as orange, #FF2500. If I copy and paste the image, it further warps the color to brownish-orange, #DF4616 or the like.
    For example, this image, http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b9/Solid_red.png , shows up fine in Firefox, but when it's color "corrected" thorough Preview or other OS X applications, it becomes something like http://i.imgur.com/gDiTE.png
    Please, before commenting about color calibration, note that *this is not a monitor calibration issue*. My monitors are calibrated well, and no recalibration can fix this.
    This is an OS X color correction issue. OS X applies and re-applies color correction schemes, resulting in warped colors on anything but sRGB monitors. This corrupts image colors whenever they are handled.
    Someone, please address this long-standing issue.

  • Raw Conversion: Colors not accurate. Correction with profile?

    Hi,
    When I create JPGs from my Raw files, the results don't look natural. Some colors have more saturation, some less. For example, the colors of the KoMi A series look somehow dirty; the reds of the Maxxum 5D seem to be oversaturated (dark reds are to bright, brown faces look rather pinkish).
    This is in comparison to the orignal objects, to the JPGs generated from the KoMi Raw converter and to the in-camera JPGs.
    Since Lightroom has tremendous color tuning options (under HSL and Color), I wonder whether a camera-specific profile can make the colors more natural. Has anybody tried for the KoMi cameras? Can anybody share a profile?
    I don't have a color checker, so this would be a tough one for me. I tried a bit, but whenever one color seemed right, another color had become worse.
    Here is my equipment:
    Cameras: Konica Minolta A2, Minolta A1, Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D.
    Other: My room has fluorescent tubes of type 950 (5000K, highest quality, Philips Graphica Pro) or of course daylight from outside. My screen is calibrated using ColorPlus hardware. I used a grey card for most of my photos. JPGs viewed with IMatch (color-profile aware).

    Hallo Uli,
    there are two aspects of the color deviation:
    1. Displaying colors in LR
    This is what you are addressing in the other thread. I can confirm this behavior, but let's not touch this matter here.
    2. Raw conversion
    This is what I am talking about in this post. The effect is actually larger than the display deviation.

  • APO DP - validation of correct forecast profile

    We are using APO DP V5.0.
    In interactive DP, we forecast at the level of 'product at customer'. For the 'product at customer' characteristic we have navigation attributes, such as 'history type' (eg EPOS, despatch)
    The 'history type' determines which key figure we use as history, and so we have forecast profiles which are relevant for the different history types.
    If a user assigns a forecast profile in interactive DP to a 'product at customer', we want to get the system to check that the forecast profile is actually valid for the relevant 'history type'. We have named the profiles carefully so that, for example, the first x characters of the profile name reflect the history type; so we could have validation logic saying 'if history type = EPOS, check that forecast profile starts with 'EPOS'.
    But how could this validation logic be triggered?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    Hi Bob,
    Wow, what a brain bender!
    I think this would require some fairly serious ABAP...
    You can't get the value of an attribute interactively (via a macro function, for example using ACT_IOBJNM_VALUE()).  You would need a Function Module that could manipulate the Planning Object Structure to grab the attribute of the characteristic in question, based on the current selection. 
    The name of the forecast profile also can't be done with a standard APO macro function.  We had something similar where we wanted to get the name of the forecast strategy via a macro function, but we ended up needing to create a short Function Module in ABAP that could called as a User Exit Macro.  The trick with the Function Module is that you will need is to tell the system to get the GUID of the current selection, then use that to find the name of the Forecast Profile (field PRPFL) from the /SAPAPO/DP_FCST2 table. 
    Once you have that, you could tell the Function Module to pass just the first four letters ('EPOS') back to the planning book user exit macro so that you could then compare that with the attribute value.
    Probably you didn't need me to write this short functional spec, but it was a very interesting problem to consider.  Hopefully somebody else will read this and tell us a much simpler way to do it.

  • Archive_location correct in profile, but fails to mount

    My NAS log where the flash archives are stored shows that jumpstart is trying to mount the file along with the path:
    02/08/08 09:24:54 mountd/v3:denied 10.166.57.14 to /vol0/Images/FLAR/209/portal1.flar
    When the install bombs to a command prompt, I can successfully mount:
    mount -F nfs 10.166.57.14 to /vol0/Images/FLAR/209 /mnt
    It does show that check_client runs properly:
    02/08/08 09:19:54 mountd/v3:granted 10.166.57.13 to /vol0/Images/FLAR/209
    Is there a tweek or config point I can modify to prevent this from happening?

    Thanks for your help Chris,
    My flash_archive_locations was entered as: nfs://<ip>/<path>/myflash.flar
    In the profile, it shows up as the same : nfs://<ip>/<path>/myflash.flar
    The problem is that when the new client machine is performing a jumpstart flash install, it fails reporting: cannot mount <ip>:/<path>/myflash.flar because it is trying to mount a filename, not a directory on the nfs server (NAS)
    See above post for what is logged on the NAS, the remote location where my flars are stored. ( nfs://<ip>/<path> )
    If I set flash_archive_locations to nfs://<ip>/<path>, the ../SUNWjet/Products/flash/check_client fails.
    For some reason, jumpstart is effectively issuing a command equivalent to:
    mount -F nfs <ip>:/<path>/myflash.flar /<somemountpoint>
    Since the install bombs out, I can open a console and type the following, and see that it mounts:
    mount -F nfs <ip>:/<path> /<somemountpoint>
    I can then cd /<somemountpoint> and do an ls and see myflash.flar.
    So, what is causing the jumpstart script to try to mount a file, and not a directory?
    I was thinking that I may have some weird n1sps 6.0 with n1osp 5.2 problem, so I am rebuilding w/ pure 6.0. If not related to this, I will certainly have the same problem again.
    I don't need the mountpoint to change for each client, just the flash archive name. But right now no matter what I do, jumpstart tries to mount the FILE, not the directory where the file resides.
    The evidence I have of this is that when I manually try to mount the file, I get the same error showing in the NAS access log as jumpstart when it tries to mount. (see first post this topic)
