Add Channel Mixer functionality to LR

Something I often do is shoot IR with my Sigma SD-14 by removing the hot mirror/"dust cover." The resulting images are pink-magenta-yellow.
Doing a monochrome conversion in LR really doesn't work, whether auto or something else. Grainy, noisy, looks like crap.
What works great is using the PS channel mixer with the "red filter" preset. PERFECT and OUTSTANDING dynamic range, optimally low grain.
Because the high-precision color sliders in LR don't work like anything at all like the channel mixer, it's not possible to get the equivalent out of LR. You can't just drop out blue and green by sliding them all the way to the left - you get noisy mush.
I would love, love, love to have the channel mixer.

You should try it and see the effect I am describing for yourself. Noise reduction is not helpful. When channel mixing is done correctly there is no need for noise reduction. The high-res sliders in Lightroom and ACR, though, do not do channel mixing. They operate on specific hues and can't be used as an equivalent to channel mixing no matter how you move them around.

About mixer function in conferencing

Hi,all
Does any body can help me?
In BEA Weblogic SIPServer's demo, there is a web conference application.It can connect several participants into a conference with INVITE method.I wonder without any mixer function in the conference server, how can serveral participants hear each other?
If I want to add the mixer function in the demo, what
should I do?
Thanks in advance:)
yours powerclark.

Hi Beavey,
How are you converting your number to a CHAR? The syntax I've used in the past is CAST(<COLUMN> as CHAR).
Secondly, the pivot table "Measure" area only displays objects that are actual measures. In terms of OBIEE, a measure is a column that has an aggregate performed on it (MIN,MAX,SUM, COUNT, etc).
So if you want your CHAR column displayed, you'll need to define some kind of aggregate on it. In terms of CHARs, you only have a few options like MIN or MAX. I typically do MAX, but then i make sure that the columns in the Rows section of the pivot table define a unique record. That way you don't loose anything with the MAX function.
Good luck!

Compositing - Channel Mixer Help

I've been using AE now for a few years, (since v5.5) and mostly use it for motion graphics. Using CS3 now. But right now, I'm beginning to work through Steve Wright's book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Compositing-Film-Video-Second/dp/024080760X">Digital Compositing for Film and Video</a> to focus more on true compositing.
The author's aim is to keep the lessons application-independent and present concepts in a way that would be applicable to most software packages. (However, considering the author's frequent references to "nodes" and his well-known status as a Shake user & <a href="http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modPage.asp?ID=408">Shake instructor</a>, it's apparent that using Shake, while reading this book, would lead to the least bumps in the road, when attempting to follow along.)
But I'm not using Shake, I'm using AE and have encountered a small bump in the road. Regarding luma keys he mentions how luma values are represented in the individual colors R,G,B. To cut to the chase, he says, "One standard equation that mixes the right proportions of RGB values to create a luminance image on a color monitor is:
Luminance = 0.30R + 0.59G + 0.11B"
Great. But I can't figure exactly how to mix the RGB values with the above proportions in AE. It's quite easy & straight-forward in Photoshop, using the Channel Mixer. <a href="http://www.geocities.com/kevincbrock/channel_mixer.png">Example here</a>. But AE's Channel Mixer does not seem to work quite the same way as it's counterpart in PS. There are values there, for instance, "Red-Red", but they seem to run in values from -200 to 200, not percentages, like PS. So my question is, how do I achieve the same channel mixing results in AE that I can in PS?
I'll add this: I was able to achieve the desired result in AE, but by using a round-a-bout sort of tactic. Instead of using the "Channel Mixer", I applied the "Set Channels" effect to my sample shot. By changing the "Set Red to Source 1's LUMINANCE", then doing the same for Green and Blue, setting them all to LUMINANCE, the resulting image is identical to the sample shot that was tweaked in Photoshop. Again, it worked, but I'd like to know how to change the proportions of RGB to other values than those represented in the formula above.
Hope this all makes sense.
Oh, and while I'm here.....I'll throw this in: In AE, when you apply the "Curves" effect, can you input precise values for input / output. Again, this is simple in Photoshop, but unless I don't have some display items turned on in the Curves editor in AE, I don't see a way to enter precise values. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance for any input.
EDIT: for some reason, the links I've posted aren't showing up properly. So if your'e interested in following any of them you'll have to copy/paste on your own. Don't know why......

>Great. But I can't figure exactly how to mix the RGB values with the
>above proportions in AE.
You could use expressions... You create sliders for each input, then feed their output to the actual effects. Something like
//----begin expression
linear(value,0,100,-200,200)
//----end expression
should do in most cases. Still, be careful. Not everything written in that book directly applies to AE. It does not figure in any specifics of color management nor different Gammas which could massively skew results because the source footage will already be pre-adjusted and the comp will add another level of adjustments.
>Oh, and while I'm here.....I'll throw this in: In AE, when you apply >the "Curves" effect, can you input precise values for input / output.
Nope. AE's Curve effect will adapt to the project bit depth as a lot of other effects, presenting you with the problem of which values to actually use. This would only make sense if the effect itself would be independent from AE and process in float all the time and only the inputs were presented as different normalized ranges. There was/ should have been an alternative Curves effect from Frischluft, but at this point development has reached a dead stop, so it's doubtful it will ever be unleashed upon the world.
>Don't know why......
HTML-Code functionality had to be disabled thanks to spammers. :-|

Curves or Channel Mixer - which is better?

Which do you think is better for colour correcting/adjustment (especially CMYK images)

When you add up the ink percentages of your four ink colors - Cyan+Magenta+Yellow+Black, you'll get your total ink density, which is what I'm sure Alan is referring to. Set one side of your Info Palette to read Total Ink, and then you'll easily be able to monitor that. If you have too much ink density, magazines are very likely to kick your file back, asking you to fix it, making you miss your deadline. If you have too little ink density, your blacks may look weak.
Alan is correct, Curves, Hue/Saturation, and Selective Colors are the first choice tools for CMYK color correction and Channel Mixer is usually for making huge fixes which will usually require Curves to bring back into line anyway.

How to create channel mixer by script

How I can create channel mixer by JavaScript?

If you create a channel Mixer script you will most likely be using Action Manager Coder you modify from Adobe Scriptlitener Plug-in. There is a Photoshop scripting forum and scripting documentation you can download. Adobe DOM does not cover all Photoshop function.

CS5.5 Channel Mixer Effect

The channel mixer in CS5.5 now has presets like "Ambisonic B format to L R Ls Rs" and "Matrixed Stereo to ITU 5.1." The implication is that AA can turn certain 2-channel files into 5.1 files. Is this correct? I can't figure out how to make this work, and the online manual has nothing about this.
J. D.

This is fun, but not as much fun as you'd like it to be. Let me explain.
There is one caviat we all need to pay attention to: these advanced functions in the Channel Mixer effect are PASSIVE mixing only, and therefore won't correctly decode a matrixed-quad source such as SQ, QS, or Dolby Surround. I have no idea what that means for Ambisonics. But there are some interesting applications for this, to be sure.
Now, having said that, here's what I discovered.
If your source file is stereo, then first you must convert it to 5.1 (or whatever is suitable) using Edit > Convert Sample Type. Pay close attention to the optional dropdowns.
Now you should have a file with two front channels with audio and 4 silent channels. Then select all, open the Channel Mixer, and proceed. The end result should be what you're looking for (unless you need phase-based decoding, which is better done via scripting in AA3).

CS4 channel mixer-CS3 gone

Did a quick search, couldn't find anything on the forum...
I have just installed (two days ago) Photoshop CS4 Extended as part of the master suite.
I have also CS3 on the same PC.
Now the channel mixer doesn't show the sliders for tint (hue and saturation); the same happens on the B & W adjustment window.
Also, every time I try to run CS3 (shortcuts or the program itself), CS4 comes up instead.
Thanks in advance!

>Now the channel mixer doesn't show the sliders for tint (hue and
>saturation); the same happens on the B & W adjustment window.
These functions have changed a lot under the hood and may not be compatible with older versions. Never tried this myself, though.
>Also, every time I try to run CS3 (shortcuts or the program itself), >CS4 comes up instead.
Check the path in the shortcut's properties. It may simply point to the wrong directory or use a generic system path (%installdir% or such) placeholder instead of an explicit directory name.

No, but there are several add-on toolsets (both free and inexpensive) that you can install that will add this ability. Grant's tools, for example:

CS5: Magic Wand fails intermittently; cannot use Channel Mixer on selection

Hello,
Using CS5 / Photoshop on Mac OS 10.6.4. 4GB RAM.
The Magic Wand tool fails intermittently. Quitting PS and rebooting seems to re-enable use of the Magic Wand.
However, even when the Magic Wand tool does "work", for some reason I can no longer use any of the items in Image -> Adjustments, such as the Channel Mixer. This functionality was working just 20 minutes ago, and now even with multiple reboots I cannot seem to get it working again.
Googling came up with no relevant articles on this errant behavior.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Adobe Muse (2014.3) "Add Web Font" Function Not Working As Expected - Newly Added Fonts Become Unavailable Though Shown

Hello.
This has also been posted in the Community: Adobe Muse Bugs forum.
I've been having some odd/irregular issues though they have now become fairly predictable in nature. The issue is in regards to Adobe Muse (2014.3) and the availability of web fonts provided through the applications "Add Web Fonts" feature. Once added they perform as expected but then become "unavailable." Full details below. I have been a Creative Cloud Complete subscriber for a number of years so am fairly familiar with the way in which the system works minus a few issues that have popped up now and then, this one included.
System Info:
Adobe Creative Cloud (Full Subscription): Version 1.9.1.474
Adobe Muse: Version 2014.3
OS X Yosemite: 10.10.2
Here is a recap of what has been taking place. I'll detail the bug as best I can.
1. Created new Adobe Muse project. Everything normal.
2. Chose to add a new font through the "Add Web Fonts" function within Muse. A note, my Creative Cloud App is running/open at all times (in file synch mode).
3. Chose new fonts using above. All seemed fine (see screenshots below).
4. Fonts also were indicated as being "Synched" within Creative Cloud (screenshot below).
5. As expected the two fonts were added to the list of available Web Fonts within Muse (first screenshot below - left). I added them successfully to my site. Well after a number of hours I went back to this same font selection menu within Muse and the fonts were still visible yet the sub-menu that one would expect showing various forms (i.e. Bold, Italic, etc) was not available. In a sense the font could not be chosen from the list even though the name is clearly visible (second screenshot below - right).
Have no idea what may have been wrong. Saved Muse project, closed and reopened - nothing changed. Created new project - fonts still "shown" in menu but can't be used. Did find a vague description using Google of similar problem (different application) which recommended closing Creative Cloud Desktop App and reopening as one possible solution. This DID WORK initially yet the problem, though corrected for a period of time (few hours at most), would reappear again where one would again see yet not be able to choose from the two Web Fonts. Went so far as to uninstalling the Creative Cloud Desktop application and reinstalling. Still have not solved the problem.
Any thoughts as to what this may be would be welcome. Restarting the CC app each and every time the fonts become unavailable is quite time consuming to my workflow.
Thanks!

Abhishek,
Thank you for the reply. Wanted to comment on a few things.
I reviewed the other post that you've referenced. Nothing unusual jumped out at me as something that I was not aware of. I'm running an older iMac that is in good working condition. 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 24" screen. I know this issue is fleeting, as I stated earlier typically can be corrected with a restart of the CC Desktop application (that I am always running at startup). I have not been able to determine that shutting down Muse corrects the issue. I would, at this time say it doesn't.
I did open InDesign and see if the fonts in question, Open Sans and Open Sans Condensed, were present and usable. They were. The fonts are shown as being synched in my CC Desktop app window (even if they are not "installed" in Muse). That is expected but it may be a bug in how Muse brings in a font from those that are already synched to your CC account. I don't know enough about how that works to comment.
And just to complicate matters, Muse seems to be working again, the fonts that is. I brought them back in and they are showing up in all locations (which there are actually three - see screen shots).
First is primary text menu dropdown (to right of orange "Text").
Second is if you click orange Text link. Another drop down menu appears.
And lastly, the Text Panel to right of screen.
I also wanted to add this extra bit of information, for what it is worth. When the issue arises and you do not get the sub-menu dropdown showing various styles of the font (italics, bold, etc.), one can use click on the missing font if you had used it previously and it is present in the "previously used font" list.
Cheers!

How do I add a zoom function to a digital magazine (.swf file) in InDesign CS6?

Hi,
Im creating an interactive digital magazine for our company which will go on the iPad, but also online for computers.
The iPad (.folio) has zoom functions, but on screen (.swf) the magazine is very static and peaple can't zoom and scroll (the zooming buttons function in InDesign doesn't work here).
So, how do I add a zoom function to a digital magazine (.swf file) in InDesign CS6?
(I read older posts regarding this problem in CS5... It's not possible for me to purchase an additional product for that. I have Flash, if there is a tutorial on how to do it, that'd be helpful too)
Thanks for your help!
Best regards!

Although the help implies this should work, and I've seen it written in a book to do things this way, it's not how I do things:
var content_req1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("text/hales.txt");
var content_ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader(content_req1);
content_ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete1);
Instead, try:
var content_req1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("text/hales.txt");
var content_ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
content_ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete1);
content_ldr1.load(content_req1);

HT4913 i am trying to get my computer and my wifes computer on my itunes match. i did the add a computer function and it says that this computer is already associated with an apple id...if you use itunes match with your apple id etc for 90 days...please

i did the add a computer function and it says that this computer is already associated with an apple id...if you use itunes match with your apple id etc for 90 days...please explain. is this going to screw my wifes account up?

If you both have seperate iTunes Store accounts then basically, yes, it is going "screw up" your wife's account.
iTunes Match is designed as a single-user service which is associated with one and only one iTunes Store account ID. If you have subscribed on your account and want to activate the service on another computer that is already signed in with an account the present account must be signed out and then iTunes signed into your account. This means the other computer will have complete access to your account and will only be able to make purchases on your account. iTM is not designed to be signed in and out at will. If she has apps purchased with her iTunes Store account they will not be able to be updated.
