A Lawyers Perspect

Hello fellow posters,
IAAL practicing in the IP field. I mostly represent those being sued for patent infirngement. I wanted to give a perspecti've from a legal United States POV.
) No modder has ever been prosecuted, under United Staes IP Law, for IP infirngement by providing functionality for a product that has already been released aka been purchased by end users and used.
2) The donations are optional. You were still able to download the drivers without donating. Also, I believe the donations aspect would hold up under law with regards to compensation for time because Daniel_K isn't looking to make a profit. It's kind of like asking for a fee for a blank CD when copying material. You're not paying a fee for the IP but the raw material. Labor has help up as "raw material" in case law.
3) The threat by Mr. O'Shaughnessy may be a bad move on Creative's part because of United States law in regards to the DMCA which strengthened IP rights. Also, it imposed penalties against those who provide false information in C&D letters. Yes, this wasn't a DMCA take-down notice but that is not an issue in the regards to the DMCA law.
I just wanted to give a POV of someone in the legal field. I think the class action lawsuit has a very good chance of winning in court. I also think Creative may be liable in regards to false advertising. I'm waiting to hear back from a colleague who has more experience in that field.
I really think in this day and age lovers and users of technology, new-media and the Internet donate to the EFF. Even a $5 donation would be helpful. It is my belief that these kind of threats will continue to grow in the near future.

DPS Feedback From Client: A Book Publisher's Perspective

Greetings,
I thought it might be helpful to both Adobe and other publishers to post some real-world feedback from one of our clients.
But first, some background:
We are a book publisher moving into the realm of book apps. Our book apps or not at all like their printed counterparts and mix in a bunch of new content and interactive features. Our apps are also not like magazines, which is what DPS feels like it was designed for.
We've been doing some testing with DPS, especially as it relates to a business model for us and our clients. We've also been testing resolutions, and figuring out the differences between single-issue and multi-issue apps.
I posted an overview of where our tests led us in terms of single vs. multi, here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4333151#4333151
and I posted some resolutions tests to see if an iPad 1/2 resolution app would look "good enough" on an iPad 3 (or the new iPad), here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4333426#4333426
and finally an overview of what we hope Adobe will do with single-issue apps and renditions, here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4333494#4333494
Below is a continuation of our DPS discovery process. At the same time we are exploring HTML5/CSS3/Javascript development with Baker. Although we've developed our own webapps, run everything in Amazon's cloud (ec2, s3) and have a development team familiar with everything needed to get a book app out via HTML, we are giving DPS a fair shot because we've invested so much money in Adobe's software and we'd rather our production team handle book apps instead of our development team.
With all of that said as a backdrop, we presented an interested client with the option of publishing two single-issue apps (iPad 1/2 and iPad 3) or publishing one multi-issue app.
Pricing wise, we kept our design fees the same with either option. The only pricing difference was $395x2 for the single-issue app route vs. a monthly charge to help us offset Adobe's monthly charge for the multi-issue app.
The questions from the client and answers from us went like this, in roughly this order:
Q: With the single-issue app, we don't pay an ongoing monthly fee?
A: Correct. It's just the up-front per-app fee.
Q: And in the multi-issue app arrangement, it doesn't matter how little our sales trickle in 6-9 months down the line, we're still paying the monthly fee if we want to have the app for sale at all?
A: Yes.
Q: Does either option limit us in terms of how long the app will be available for download?
A: No. Both options allow for ongoing sales of the app. The primary difference being you pay monthly to keep the app "alive" for multi-issue apps whereas single-issue apps live indefinitely with no monthly cost.
Q: So it seems like single-issue apps are the way for us.
A: From a pricing standpoint alone, yes, because most of your app sales will occur in the first month or two and single-issue apps do not carry any monthly costs down the line. That said, single-issue apps have some serious limitations.
Q: Like?
A: For starters, we would have to develop two apps to target iPad 1/2 and iPad 3.
Q: So the customer would have to make the choice? We are expecting the customer to get technical and figure out which app is for their device?
A: Yes. Renditions only exist in multi-issue apps, currently.
Q: Let's suppose we can get over that because eventually we will want to develop an Android version and a Kindle Fire version and in that case we are expecting customers to know which app works on their device...
A: Let me stop you there. Single-issue apps only work for iPad.
Q: So if we go the single-issue route, we simply can't ever develop an Android or Kindle Fire app?
A: Not as a single-issue app for any other platform than iPad. If it was essential you release on other platforms, we could look into converting the single-issue app into a multi-issue app later on, although we'd be looking at that monthly charge again.
Q: Right, which simply doesn't make sense for our app because of its timely nature.
A: We agree. Let's give up developing for other platforms for now and even indefinitely and focus in on just the iPad single-issue app development.
Q: Okay. So we release two apps, one for iPad 1/2 and one for iPad 3 using single-issue apps. What if we want to update the app down the road? Do we update both apps at once?
A: Actually, with single-issue apps, you can't update the app. Once it's submitted to Apple, it's locked in once and for all. Only multi-issue apps can be updated.
Q: That's another serious issue for us. Are there any other limitations we haven't discussed?
A: There are two more limitations: 1) Single-issue apps rely on the latest version of Adobe Content Viewer approved by Apple. Currently, version 19 of Adobe's DPS tools work with the Adobe Content Viewer that's approved and live in the App Store. That means we can develop your app using v19 of Adobe's tools but will have to hold off on updating to v20. This isn't so much a real issue as a potential issue. If, for example, v20 has some killer feature you really want to have, we simply couldn't use it. 2) Single-issue apps have no analytics.
Q: With all of these limitations, we're going to have to discuss internally which way to go. What's your recommendation?
A: All things considered, we think single-issue apps is the best solution now for your app. We have no exact target sales numbers in mind, but it's almost a certainty you will sell 80% of all app sales in the first 1-2 months. Knowing you want to keep the app available indefinitely means a single-issue app is the only way to go.
After two days and a few conference calls, the client decided to move forward with two single-issue apps, although a bit begrudgingly. We didn't pull any punches and let them know we expect Adobe to spend some time refining their pricing strategy and unifying the feature set as the technology starts to grow up. At this point, the seemingly wonky pricing structure and feature parity is the cost of being on the bleeding edge.
And we are now jumping into developing the app with DPS for our client. I should say, however, we are also working quickly to come up with a viable HTML5 route for publishing to avoid Adobe's system altogether. At this point I anticipate we will move to HTML in the next 2-5 months if Adobe's pricing/features don't start to move toward what we need. If we do jump to HTML, the answer to most clients' questions will be, "we can do that; for cheap; on all devices" and so on, which is a pretty attractive thing.
This ended up being considerably longer than I had originally envisioned, but my hope is it is useful for Adobe in refining the product and helpful for other publishers just starting down the DPS path.
Thanks,
Chris

Alistair,
Agreed. It wouldn't be right for us to pass on Adobe DPS' entire monthly charge to one client, and we have no plans to do so. We are still fine tuning the amount we would pass on to each client.
From our perspective, we are hesitant to invest anything at all in the multi-issue route because other paths to digital publishing/apps are looking more and more attractive. If we put out a handful of DPS multi-issue apps now (say, 4-5) then jump to HTML in 3-6 months, we will have to maintain Adobe's monthly fee indefinitely for the first 4-5 apps. It's as if we are paying Adobe for the right to be locked into paying Adobe monthly. No thanks.
From the client's perspective, even if the monthly amount we pass on is minimal, simple math shows at some point monthly sales will not cover the monthly carrying cost. When that point comes is pretty crucial to figure out, but it's likely it will come in month 2 or 3, which means the client would be forced to pull the app from the app store just 2-3 months after its release.
I keep trying to find a parallel for the business model in this new book app world. What is Adobe's role if we were talking traditional book publishing?
- The book store? No, that's the role of whichever app store the app is sold through (Apple's App Store, Android Market, etc.).
- The distributor? Possibly, since you could consider Adobe hosting the files as a type of distribution service (although, I'd prefer to host it all myself). If Adobe is the distributor, $0.30/download seems reasonable.
- The press? I suppose this could be argued since Adobe takes an input of files and outputs an app like a press takes an input of files and outputs a printed product. That's sorta like a press. But if that's the case, a per app fee (or even a per download fee) makes more sense than a monthly carrying cost. We don't pay our presses monthly after they've printed our books for the right to sell them.
Obviously, there's a flaw in thinking about this new world in old ways, but I'd still like to figure out exactly what Adobe's role is and why we (or our clients) would pay Adobe monthly. If, for example, Adobe's pricing scheme was something more like $400 per app created (with all features like renditions, updates, social sharing, etc.) + $0.30 per download to host the file with an option to bypass Adobe's (shaky) hosting service, we'd jump into DPS with no reservations and be publishing dozens of apps per year. Instead, we're dabbling with publishing one app and working as quickly as possible to find other solutions, which would eventually lead to converting our Adobe Create Suite based production team to an HTML/CSS/Javascript team.
Thanks,
Chris

Text input with perspective

Hi All,
I looking at using some text input fields on an angle.
Similar to the contact page here
http://www.created201.com/
can anyone point me in the right direction to achieve this.
Kind regards,

That’s not a perspective text field,
Just a symple input text field
only getting that perspective feel because of the background

About using categories and perspectives for new user

We are just beginning a conversion and upgrade project to convert our Web site to Oracle Portal. I'm trying to get a good handle on some different things we need to resolve as part of the project. One of the first decisions is using Categories and Perspectives.
I'd like to ask users about how they have used categories and perspectives and some real-world examples of how these work and improve the site and user experience.
About us
We're a big nonprofit river authority and wholesale electric provider in Austin, Texas. Currently, we offer very limited online transaction capabilities. However, we are diverse organization and users come to us looking for every specific information, so these elements may be very helpful. I'm evaluating how we can use these and other elements to make recommendations. Some real-world examples and best practices would help a lot.
Thank you, Charles Boisseau
Web editor

Continuing the thread...
Perspectives and categories may be leveraged in custom search portlets, so that you can enter the content one time, in one place, and have selected content display in multiple places.
Re: our "news" concept: our central communications group posts news stories tagged with one or more perspectives, such as which school is related to the story. This allows us to keep all of our news stories in one page group, but reuse the content elsewhere. For example, for the School of Nursing intranet, we can use a custom search portlet that automatically displays only that school's stories.
You'll want to do some up-front planning regarding your classification scheme. One significant limitation of both categories and perspectives is the inability to change the hierarchy. Oracle Portal product team, if you're reading this, this is a serious pain! I might also recommend leaving your classification scheme relatively flat. Tagging content with perspectives becomes more difficult if the content contributor has to visually traverse a deep hierarchy of perspectives.
Categories work similarly, but we mainly use them to visually sort items on a page using the "Group By" feature of a region.
Hope this gets some gears turning.

Multiple KPI for the same Initative or Perspective

Hi all,
     Here we are facing a problem with a customer BSC model that we need to adapt to SAP SSM
   The customer has the following BSC structure ":
   1) Multiple KPIs for ONE Perspective ( in SSM the maximum that we have it is a Perpective related to one KPI )
   2) Multiple KPIs for an Objective ( Ok, SSM is OKJ in this point )
   3) Multiple KPIs for an Initiative ( in this customer they use a Initiative as a lower level of the Objective )
       ( in SSM a Initiative is associated only with one KPI if necessary )
   As we can see the itens 1 and 3 I see a limitation to adopt in SSM cause SSM does not provide a n for n relationship ( Multiple KPIs for One Perspective and
     Multiples KPIs for a same Initiative )
   Does somebody knows how can I solve this kind of SAP SSM tool limitation ?
   Regards,
      Alfred

Alfred,
Index KPIs is going to be the solution for each of these questions.
1) Multiple KPIs for ONE Perspective ( in SSM the maximum that we have it is a Perpective related to one KPI )
SSM is set up in a hierarchical structure, so that the assumption is that KPIs drive Objectives and Objectives drive the status of the Perspectives. If you have multiple KPIs that are going to drive the status of a Perspective, you would have to create an INDEX KPI in Set KPIs. Then you can assign that KPI as the status driver for your Perspective.
2) Multiple KPIs for an Objective ( Ok, SSM is OKJ in this point )
Index KPIs need to be created.
3) Multiple KPIs for an Initiative ( in this customer they use a Initiative as a lower level of the Objective )
Initiatives are set to be tied to Perspectives and Objectives and you have the option of setting a Status for that Initiative based on a KPI. Again, you can create an Index KPI if you need multiple KPIs to drive the status of an Initiative
The reason that you have to create these in Set KPIs and then assign that Index KPI to Perspectives and Initiatives is that you need to use that Set KPIs area to set and define the relationships and relative values of the combined KPIs.

Bob

Lightroom 5 - Correcting Perspective using Upright | What's New in Lightroom 5 | Adobe TV

Discover how to automatically fix common problems such as tilted horizons as well as converging verticals in buildings using Lightroom’s Upright controls for perspective correction.
http://adobe.ly/15BCfQo

Hi, Thanks for the great video.
I'm having a problem -- when trying to sync Upright Auto across several images it appears to be pasting the transform instead of the auto correction. I set it exactly per the video, yet I still need to hit the "Reanalyze" button for each image -- which sort of defeats the purpose of the sync. I have the same problem if I use "Upright" in a custom preset.
Is this a program bug? Or is there something I can change about the way I'm doing things?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Using "Image/Transform/Perspective" on a layer?

Hi,
I'm new at this. I have a shot of a big room with empty art frames on the walls. I have rectangular layers that are shots of paintings that I want to drop into the frames, but of course the paintings layers have to be skewed to show the perspective angle (trapezoid) that matches the room. Problem is, it seems that I can only use Image/transform/perspective on the painting files before they become layers. This means guessing the perspective, then moving them into the background, which is trial&error at best. It's very hard to guess the appropriate perspective when the file isn't a layer. It seems that once the painting files become layers, the "perspective" option is no longer available. I can use "skew," or "free transform," but not "perspective." "Skew" doesn't work, because while it will allow changing the rectangle into a paralellogram, it won't allow me to change the rectangle into a trapezoid. "Free Transform" doesn't work for the same reason. So, How do you apply the "perspective" function to a layer?
If I knew how to change the rectangle by grabbing one of a selection's corner anchor boxes and fixing it place, that would help because I could create my own trapezoid, but I don't know how to do that. Does anyone?
Thanks!

I've no idea why all the transform options aren't available; they are here.
Anyway, try this:
Drag or copy/paste the painting in. It will come in as a new layer.
Convert that layer to a smart object (Layer > Smart Object > Convert..). Reduce the smart object opacity to 50%.
Choose Transform > Distort and move the corners individually into place.
When you're happy, set opacity back to 100% and rasterize the smart object.
The beauty of the smart object in this case is that you can transform repeatedly without any additional quality loss; it will be rendered only once when you rasterize.

State of my DC is "NOT MOUNTED". Seen in DTR perspective

hi,
In the DTR perspective, when I right click on my Web Dynpro DC and select the properties option, I can see that the state of my DC is "NOT MOUNTED". Is it because of this state that I am not able to checkout files in this DC.
When I try to checkout, I get a popup with a cancel button on it and the message in the popup is :
The operation can only be performed if the following objects are writable:The project is not in the repository, but there are some read-only files

Hi Saravanan,
First Check whether the activity you created is existing on the DTR server or not.
To find that follow the below procedure:
Access the DTR server using the URL:
http://<host>:<http-port>/dtr/
Then, go to "system tools" and then "reports".
Then, click on "Activity Search". In the Workspace field, give the name of the workspace in which the activity was created. Give the path starting from "ws" folder upto the "workspace" name. Then, select whatever filters you require. For example, Opened only or Closed-only. Then, click on "Show".
This will list the Open-Activities.
Then you can proceed accordingly.
Reward points if helpful.

Rotating Item: Need help with perspective (skewing)

It would be easiest for me to explain what I've trying to do by posting this link:
http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/366/vwallpaper.gif
I can create an SWF that rotates a vector-based logo, but it stays the same height. See how this graphic imitates perspective by making the one side grow smaller and the opposite side grow larger? Is there a way to do this with a symbol in Flash? When I use Free Transform on a movie clip or symbol, it doesn't work. Motion Tweens can only be used on movie clips and symbols, of course.
I can created this effect in After Effects, but the SWF that's exported is composed of rasterized images.
Any ideas?

If you have CS4, you can simply rotate the object in 3D space:

Need Suggestion For Background Replacement (Extending Tiles With Perspective)

Hi,
I am primarily a web developer... not a photo retoucher. I'm not looking for a LOT of handholding (though I'd take it ) but just some suggestions. I have a fairly typical case where a client will give me a background that needs replacement. Usually I can work some 'magic' with content-aware-fill and masking but I get a surprising number of shots like this case, where there is a background with a repeating 'something' that needs to be repeated/stretched and maintain perspective. Below was my first shot at a 'dummy' effort which shows what I'm trying to learn how to do. I just copied/pasted a selection and used content-aware-scale in a half-baked 'Frankenstein' way. I'm hoping there is a much better way that I'm too ignorant to have figured out! In addition to extending the tiles, I need to match the light/shadowing. Any tips or suggested books/tuts would be MUCH appreciated.
Oh yeah... I'm using C5.5 Windows (not made it to the cloud yet.)
TIA,

Thanks, I'll look at vanishing point. I'm kinda looking for a 'general' solution... this is just an example I concocted.. but the same issue comes up again and again. I just used the title because it shows the situation so clearly. I can't just 'extend' things because there's a pattern which needs to be repeated -and- displayed with proper lighting and perspective.
I also definitely would appreciate tips on colour matching.

HT3847 Using 'Grand Perspective' to see my files, I have both iTunes media and iTunes music files. It seems I have 'organised' my media, but should or need there still be both types of files? I am running out of HD space and thought, maybe, 'merging' .

I'm trying to free up disk space. When I look at my files using 'Grand Perspective' (Like 'Disk Inventory X'), I see songs in both iTunes music and iTunes media files. I'm wonder if there is some kind of duplication between them. Could I find HD space by doing something with these files? I've already 'organised' them using the iTunes library feature. But I note that it seems that organizing could leave the old (?) files in their 'original place'. That sounds to me like duplication.
I'm not at all a 'techie' so don't know where to go from here.

You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

Hi,
You can try creating new Root folder and new workspace for your NWDS.
1. Create a new folder with name ' <userID>_NWDS_NEW_ROOT ' in your machine
2. Create a new folder with name ' <userID>_NWDS_NEW_WORKSPACE ' in your machine
3. Open NWDS (and logon to DTR)
4. Remove all configurations from your Development Configuration perspective (except 'Local Development')
5. Go to Window --> Preferences --> Java Development Infra --> Development Configurations
6. Change 'Root Folder' to the folder created in step-1
7. Close NWDS
8. Create ' Run_NWDS.bat ' file in your NWDS installation folder which has 'SapIde.exe' file
(it will be generally in --> C:\Program Files\SAP\IDE\IDE70\eclipse)
9. Type following in .bat file -->
SapIde.exe -data "<complete path to folder created in step-2>"
10. Now double click on this .bat file to open NWDS
Now logon to DTR, import configuration, create project from 'inactive DCs' and you should be able to create project and see it in respective perspective.

Amey
