Album publishing workflow question

i am publishing various albums to flickr and mobileme and I'm wondering if someone would not mind helping me improve my workflow on this and/or help me understand the various ways of doing this.
right now I am dragging and dropping masters into an Album with the name that I want published and then I am selecting all the images and then publishing them. however, i have gotten a bit confused as to what to do when I want to add additional images to this published album. since i drag and drop /new/ images into the Album in Aperture it is a bit unwieldy to figure out how to update the online Albums.
right now all I can figure to do is to /also/ drag and drop /new/ images to the published album at the bottom, or to delete all the images in the published album and then drag and drop all the images (including the new ones) back to the published Album.
for the moment I really like the idea of having a dedicated album that also contains the published images but i am not really sure if the published albums at the bottom will do everything that a normal Album will do (like export to the desktop etc, etc).
anyone mind helping me streamline this?
TIA

Yes, I have this issue as well. The art downloaded in iTunes does not register with the Album Art Screen Saver. The only art that is registered is that which was obtained through third party widgets. I can only assume that the missing art is not being stored in the proper folder. I hope someone has a fix for this.
Thanks for reminding me about this issue, I meant to post it some time ago.

Yet Another Workflow Question

Ok I too, like many others here, am new to the Mac (thanks to Apple's I'm a Mac, I'm a PC ads that my wife couldn't get enough of). I have done some searching around and I see that there are quite a few iMovie workflow questions out there. I have not quite found what I am looking for however, so I thought I would make my first post tonight. So here it goes...
I have 3 different ways I capture video:
1. Canon Vixia HF10 (HD)
2. Canon Powershot (SD)
3. Blackberry Storm (SD...I know it isn't a good phone)
I record everything to SD cards. I am wanting to know the best way to store my raw video for editing at any time. Do I copy the AVCHD file structure (for the Vixia) and .avi files (for the other non HD) to my hdd, or do I just import into iMovie '09 and let it reside there, or both? I noticed that iMovie had an archival option (which appears to just copy the AVCHD structure to my hdd), which is why I ask. I want to always keep my raw video in case I decide to go back later and create a new video.
After I have the raw video archived, I would like to know the best way to use iMovie. Depending on where I end up storing the raw video, should I keep the imported video in iMovie once I am finished with a project, and then reimport it at a later date if need be? Or, do I leave it in iMovie as events? I guess this all rely depends on the first question...where do I store the raw video for archival purposes...
Finally, when exporting my iMovie project, should I store that in more of a, pardon the Windows reference, "My Videos" folder with a original size, web optimized size, and ipod optimized size? Thus, keeping the actual exported version of the project separate from the raw video?
I hope I have asked the right questions here. I appreciate any and all help I can get!

Welcome Ron to the  iMovie boards..
very interesting : 'switchers' care sooo much for 'storage strategies' ..
the by Apple intended workflow/concept for iApps is:
any 'photocam' related material (still or movin') comes-in via iPhoto, and is stored in an iP Library (=you can tell iP to create 2/many Libs, if you prefer to organize manually....)
any 'camcorder' related material HAS to be imported by iM - why? because, iM has some internal routines to make such material editable (codecs, thumnails, stuff....). the same material as 'file by Finder' does not import.. in most cases!
storage..
iP stores in its Library (local/internal HDD and/or ext. HDD)
iM stores in Events (local/internal HDD and/or ext. HDD)
to make Projects/Albums accessible to any iApp, you should keep your fingers off that structure.
Erasing Events 'kills' projects.
allthough, once 'shared to media browser' there's a 'copy' of your project WITHIN the project file. (= the socalled Media Browser is no single Folder somewhere hidden in the system)
there's this Spacesaver feature to erase any Event content which is not in use in any project to keep Events lean.
use the Archive feature from within iM to keep things easy and convenient.. if you miss a single file of the SDcard file-structure, the whole card's content is kaputt ..
summary:
• use iApps as intended.
• use iP for cameras, it stores 'raws' (the avi too)
• use iM for camcorders, use Archive to store raws..
• purchase a dozend of HDDs to store your material..

Getting error while publishing workflow using SP designer for SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I am try to setup Workflow manager for our sharepoint applications.
WF manager set ran without any issue.
I registered the SPWorkflow service which succeeded as well. The Workflow service application shows "Workflow is connected"
I am creating a workflow using sharepoint designer using my credential (not Service account). I am able to save it but while publishing, its prompting with an error.
The error says "Errors were found while compiling the workflow.The workflow files were saved but cannot run." Clicking advanced button show
"Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: We're sorry, we weren't able to complete the operation, please try again in a few minutes. If you see this message repeatedly, contact your administrator.

Any help would be highly appreciated
Thanks,

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got error while publishing workflow using SharePoint designer for SharePoint 2013.
Please check whether the Central Admin > Manage Service Application-> “App Management Service” is started.
Please check whether the “Configure service application associations”, ”App Management Service” is already associated.
Then please check whether the “Manage Services on server” and the “App Management Service” is started.
In addition, please try to re-register Workflow Service.
If the issues still exists, please follow the steps in the
Steps to Verify that Server Is Correctly Set Up. After you verified that the server is correctly set up, follow the steps in the

RED Workflow questions with Mac Pro (including third party plugins)

Hello all,
I’ve been searching many forums for the better part of a day trying to get some workflow questions sorted. I’m experiencing (very) slow export times, and mediocre playback for a machine that should be screaming fast.
Here is what I’m working with:
2014 Mac Pro
-2.7 GHz 12-core intel xeon E5
-64GB Ram
-Dual AMD FirePro D700 6GB
-1TB Flash Storage
Editing all footage off 96TB Raid 6 mini-sas server (getting about 1100mbs read/write rate according to AJA system test) which is faster than any Thunderbolt/TB2 drive array I have.
Media I work with is footage from the RED Epic (normally 5K) as well as DSLR footage from the 5d.
Software:
-PrPro CC 2014 (8.1)
-Magic Bullet Looks 2.5.2
My question(s) pertains to RED post-pro workflow in combination with third party plug-ins and the different approaches to make it more efficient.
Right now, majority of the clients need a 1080p HD master, and they are generally anywhere from 2-8 minutes (usually). So my sequence settings are as follows:
Video:
Editing Mode: RED Cinema
Size: 1920 x 1080
Audio: 48Hz
Video Previews
Preview File Format: I-Frame Only MPEG
Codec: MPEG I-Frame
1920x1080
Maximum Bit Depth unchecked
Maximum Render Quality unchecked
Composite in Linear Color checked
Export Settings
H.264
1920x1080
VBR 1 pass
Target Bitrate 12mbs
Max bitrate 12mbs
Maximum render quality/depth/previews unchecked
Issues I have:
-Playback is fine at 1/2 or even full, but once effects (especially magic bullet looks) start to go on the clips, it’s very choppy and has difficult playback at 1/4
-Export times (especially with magic bullet looks) will take the better part of 1-4 hours for a video that is 3-6 minutes long. This doesn’t seem like it should be the case for a maxed out MacPro
So my questions are:
Do these seem like the right sequence/export settings for mastering at 1080p? If not, what would you suggest?
Would using offline editing help at all?
Do you place your effects on adjustment layers?
Is there anyway to improve export settings when using an array of filters?
Have you stopped using third party plugins for their inefficiency in unreliability and switched to more integrated applications like SpeedGrade?
Is there any other tweaks that you would suggest for RED workflow with PrPro?
Should I consider switching to FCPX or (besides the iMovie-likeness) does it carry problems of its own?

The biggest issue is that most people have is that updating OS X causes certain folders to be set to Read Only. See this blog post: Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later).

It's a nice base system. How about an additional speedy disk for media cache files. You also did not mention which version of OS X you are running.

The Red Giant website does not indicate that this software is yet updated to work with Premiere Pro CC 2014.1 (8.1). Proceed with caution here.

I would not use this plug-in until you get the OK from the manufacturer.

Again, I suspect your plug-in.
Keep in mind that exports are largely CPU based but you can make sure that GPU acceleration is enabled for AME at the bottom of the Queue panel.

It's OK.

No need when you should be able to edit natively. Relinking might also be an issue.
thisisironclad wrote:

That's one way you can do it with the benefit of being more organized.
thisisironclad wrote:

I do. Of course, that's a preference.
thisisironclad wrote:

Try the following:
Sign out from Creative Cloud, restart Premiere Pro, then sign in
Update any GPU drivers
Trash preferences
Ensure Adobe preference files are set to read/write(Hopefully you checked this out already)
Delete media cache
Remove plug-ins
If you have AMD GPUs, make sure CUDA is not installed
Repair permissions
Disconnect any third party hardware
If you have a CUDA GPU, ensure that the Mercury Playback Engine is set to CUDA, not OpenCLYou have AMD GPUs.
Disable App Nap
Reboot

I really shouldn't answer that question.
Hope this helps.

Sharpening export workflow question

I have a sharpening workflow question. Say I have pictures from a portrait session I just finished. I have to send 10 pictures the client ordered to a print lab and I also will make some small facebook sized pictures and upload them to my business facebook page. The level of sharpening needed for large prints (I upload to print lab as RGB JPEGS) and sharpening needed for the very small sRGB facebook-sized pictures is different. In Lightroom I have the option to set the sharpening on export and have a bunch of presets that alter the export size, color space, sharpening, etc(WHCC print lab, facebook, Client CD, etc). I don't see how to do that in Aperture. I see they have the option if you have a printer, but not on normal export.
For those of you that have to export batches of pictures in multiple different sizes (with different levels of sharpening), what is your workflow? I could use some photoshop droplets/actions after Aperture export but I was hoping there was a way to avoid the extra step. Am I overlooking an export feature? The BorderFX plug-in looks like the only other option.
Thank you in advance for time and help!

The thing is guys - Once a file is sized down it WILL lose sharpening - what we are doing is sharpening the full size RAW file or rather what the full size output would be like. Once we export a version sized down it will lose some of the 'bite'. LR has sharpening options on 'output' which is not only smart but a necessity. Adobe realizes that output for screen needs another sharpen. Apple either doesn't know or didn't bother. It makes ANY output for screen less than best.
Bear in mind that there seem to be two separate issues going on here - sharpening adjustments not being applied on export, and resizing.
As far as resizing is concerned, Aperture appears to use something roughly equivalent to Photoshop's Bicubic Sharper setting. Because of this I've never had much problem with Aperture's exports when used for the web, but obviously everyone's taste for sharpening differs which is why an option for output sharpening would be good.
Sharpening adjustments not being applied on export is a separate issue and should be reported via the feedback form ASAP by everyone who is experiencing the bug.
Now printing is another animal - I wouldn't print directly from RAW in aperture either if I'm printing small. Again, LR beats Aperture here as well since they include output sharpening for print.
Aperture has had output sharpening for printing since 2.0 came out (unless it in was 1.5). In A3 you need to turn on 'More Options' and scroll down, I can't remember where it is in A2. I don't know how effective it is as I print via a lab, but it's there and it's been there for a long time...

Quick Tips For Speed Your Digital Publishing WorkFlow

I think that we have a great problem with our Digital Publishing Workflow's speed . I talk about, for example, of set up State Objets Sliedshows for multiple page, and I mean, there are another similar examples about that. Do you know if does exist more tips for speed our workflow in InDesign for Digital Publishing Output?
Thanks a lot!
Sorry for my bad english.
Bye!
Marco Toscano

Muito abrigado my friend! Seriously thanks a million, but I was curious to know about my situation regarding replacing my first shot multiple times... In another words there's a clip already in the storyline which won't allow me to replace edit since it just moves out of the way. Would you just go back into the browser and add the original selection to the first clip? Because I kept having to move my connected music and solid I just gave up and would wait until the end to add the music and solid (I add the solid to give the background a different color when I want to create the letterbox effect).
I just watched a music video tutorial where someone created a 3 minute solid, made like a hundred cuts with the blade tool and manually dragged each clip from his browser to replace from start for each of those cuts in the solid...
What is your workflow for music-based edits? Do you place the song in the primary story line and use the video as connected clips? Do you use a solid or gap clip and dissect it with cuts and replace the segments with clips? I really hate not being able to add markers to the timeline and must make those marks on a clip/generator/music track of some kind. Also if you have a project that has the same settings with fps, crop size, solid as a background is there a way to make template so I don't have to do that each and every time?
Thanks again my friend!!!

Workflow manager IIS site throws a 403 Forbidden error and published workflows throw an error 400 bad request

Hello All , Request your help on the below issue ,
We have a single server farm SP 2013 where workflow was working as expected but its broken now , Not sure

Hi,
As I understand, you encountered the issue when you published a workflow on SharePoint 2013 workflow platform.
I wonder does it work well before when using 2013 workflow platform? If it works before, did you install any updates or change the configuration to the workflow related settings?
If this is the first time after you installed workflow manager 2013, then I’d recommend you try re-registering workflow service per the link below and post the result:

How to publish workflows created under content type to make it available in all my-sites.

Hi,
i followed this procedure to publish workflows in my-sites but even after activating workflow feature am unable to get created workflow templates in my-site.
Create a workflow and associate it with your content type in the hub.
Before publishing this content type, export the reusable workflow and import it in all the subscriber site collections or deploy your workflow to the farm if it is a farm solution
Activate your workflow feature
Now, your workflow is available in the hub as well as all the subscriber site collections.
Publish the content type. The workflow association will be publish.
can anyone help me out of this issue.

Hi,
As I understand, you encountered the issue after activating workflow feature.
Per my test, I can get the created workflow templates
after activating workflow feature by workflow 2010.
1. Check if you use SharePoint 2010 workflow because SharePoint 2013 workflow doesn’t work.
2. Reactive the workflow template feature in your site collection.
3. If it still doesn’t work, open the site collection you want to use the workflow in the SharePoint designer and associated the workflow with the content type in the site collection. After these steps, you can use workflow in your all site collection.
There is a similar thread:

IPhoto 6 workflow questions -- iPhoto & Elements

All -- just installed iLife 6, but have not used it yet. The combination of iWeb & .mac looks very promising for finally being able to easily share my photos with my family/friends. But I am still not clear on the best file workflow to be able to take advantage of all the iPhoto/iWeb/,mac functionality, and also the editing power of Adobe Elements (the editing software I am using). If you all could help me with this I would be so grateful.
I shoot JPEG.
I move a photo from iPhoto to Element to edit it.
If my goal is to move it back to iPhoto to share, how should I resize it? How should I optimize it for the best quality while viewing on a monitor, but with enough quality that if folks want to make a print, they can?
What format should I save it back to iPhoto in? JPEG? Or can iPhoto handle TIF or PSD and is that recommended?
What about a master, unedited image. Should I worry about that? And if so, where will that live?
If I plan on printing a photo, should I optimize the file for that purpose and print from Elements instead of bringing the file back into iPhoto?
As you can see from my questions, I am still unclear on the relationship of iPhoto and Elements (or any other editing software). I would be so grateful for any help you can give in this discussion, or other places you can point me to get this information.
Thanks everyone!
Greg

haha, the way I work is, if a program doesn't do what I want the way I want it, then I find a program that does. For many, just iPhoto will fit the bill.
This is what I do. I take a photo shoot. If it is important photos, I upload them to ClubPhoto so others can download and print them. Most often I do not print my 4x6 photos. I wait till there is a special at ClubPhoto for half price prints and order all my yearly prints at that time. I buy one photo album that fits 200 photos and I order 200 photos from my albums online to be printed. Year in photos are now done.
If someone comes over and says, hey, I love that photo, can you print it out for me? then I use my Printers software to print the 4x6 or 8x10.
I used .mac and now iWeb to keep family and friends informed of whats going on in Photos and videos. It's more or less just for fun.
When I said I have an iWeb site, I mean that I have used iWeb, a new application in the iLife suite to publish a web site with photos movie clips and a blog.
You do not have to do any resizing if you are going to use iWeb as the software does it for you behind the lines.
If you are resizing to upload anywhere else or for another purpose, it all depends on what size you need for your purpose. For album sites, 800x600 is a good size.
For emailing a photo, either do it right within iPhoto and you will get a choice on what size you want to send, or export to the desktop, at which time you can input the size you want to export the photo at.
I always keep full resolution photos in my library. If I want a smaller size, I always export the image at a smaller size and keep the full size in the library.

Two workflow questions, (1) importing and (2) saving/exporting

Apologies if the below questions are too elementary. I've just started using Lightroom. I've been trying out various editing/organizing programs and I haven't yet found the perfect one. Can someone tell me if Lightroom is capable of the following:
1. I shoot in Raw+Jpeg format. When I copy images from my camera to my computer, I always create a new folder that represents my event and put the jpegs in \Pictures\[Event]\ and the raw images in \Pictures\[Event]\Raw\. Is there a way to instruct Lightroom to perform this function through the import module, i.e. have a single import event that copies jpegs in an \...\[Event]\ folder while copying dng to \...\[Event]\Raw\ and importing only the dng files into my Lightroom catalog. Is this possible?
2. Also, can someone explain how Lightroom handles edits? Say I've edited a dng in my library. Is the dng file changed on my computer itself? How about the jpeg (remember, I copy jpeg+dng to my computer)? Is there a way to instruct Lightroom to automatically (i.e. default behavior) overwrite the jpg file when any changes are made to the dng file, but prevent the dng file from being overwritten? What about instances where I also want to overwrite the dng - how do I accomplish this?
Thanks.

I completely understand and appreciate how Lightroom treats raw images. However, if I shoot Raw+jpg, what difference does it make whether or not the jpg file changes? If my raw file is untouched, I don't also need to make sure that the jpg remains in its virgin state...even if the majority of users prefer to keep both untouched, at least allow the option for people that want a different method of handling their files!
Lightroom has no feature to overwrite your JPGs automatically.
Might I suggest a workflow change ... shoot raw only, when you need a .jpg, have Lightroom export one for you.
If Lightroom handled Face/Places/Sharing well, I wouldn't need to mess with a second program (i.e. Picasa), but right now it doesn't look like it can handle what I want. I understand that I can use Metadata/Keyword tags to identify People and Places, and that there are plug-ins to upload to Picasa web albums, but these options aren't executed well enough in LR3 for me to give up Picasa. The plug-in doesn't work nearly as cleanly as the native Google program, and "Faces" is a chore in Lightroom. Picasa can automatically detect faces and makes tagging/organizing/working with images much easier. While I'm on the topic, can anyone explain why such a useful feature (that's available on free and basic image software) is not included in Lightroom? Is there any possibility that it'll be included in the final version of LR3? What about the upcoming Aperture 3? Is it that "Faces" is perceived as a basic consumer feature that isn't used in higher-end software? Will this always be excluded from this "class" of software?
Using LR3 Beta to decide whether the software works the way you want isn't a good idea. I'm guessing, but I don't know for sure, that the uploading to Picasa will work a lot better in the finished product. Hard for me to imagine a program being easier to tag/organize than Lightroom, and while I don't use Picasa, I can't see how it could be easier in tagging and organizing. It is my opinion (and you might think differently) that using two different organizing software programs on your photos is more trouble than it is worth, especially since you have to constantly "synchronize" the two different organizers.
No one here works for Adobe, and even if there was someone here from Adobe, they can't tell you what will be in future releases. We can only guess, and we don't know.
Finally, can you explain xmp? I've done some keyword tagging on my images within Lightroom. If I were to later use another program, would the keywords be picked up? From your explanation it sounds like there are two aspects to a file, the image section and the xmp section. Is the xmp section the part that includes information about the photo? I.e. settings, metadata, etc.??
Keywords that Lightroom writes to xmp should be readable by almost every other photographic application. But please be aware that Lightroom, by default, does not write keywords to the photo files. You have to specifically tell Lightroom to do so, by either turning on an option, or by using Ctrl-S on selected photos. Xmp includes all the metadata, which includes captions, keywords, Lightroom edits, and basically any information supplied by the user rather than by the camera.

Workflow question: removing images from project

How can I tell Aperture to remove a file from its database without removing it from the hard drive? My workflow is:
1. Import images to a Transfer folder
2. Edit images
3. Move remaining images to a folder with the shoot name, under a Photos folder
In Aperture, I've got a Photos project, with Albums for each shoot name folder and I've got a Transfer project that the unediting shoot is in. After I edited my first shoot in 1.5, I used the Relocate Master command to move the files of the shoot to the new folder in the Finder. I then made a new Album under the Photos project and copied the photos from Transfer to the new Album. That all worked great. As a last step, I wanted to remove the photos from the Transfer project. However, I can't: I can only delete the original file, which will delete it from the hard drive. I can't figure out how to tell Aperture to simply stop managing a file. It's really basic issue but it's stopping me from using Aperture to manage my library (or at least do it efficiently).

Wow, I was really tired when I posted that. No, you were correct the first time: I was looking to delete images and for that your suggestion worked perfectly.
What I was doing when I asked the second question was re-arranging my library in Aperture. I decided to remove everything and to use a structure that has a Folder labelled "Photos" at the top level, then multiple Projects below that, each named with a year. In each Project, there are albums for that year's shoots.
Before I removed the old structure, I exported out as a Project the last shoot I edited. Pre-1.5, I never bothered keeping editing images in Aperture - I just used it as a tool for editing the shoot. However, now that Aperture can reference external files (i.e., I'm not worried about its database), I can keep the editing images and their modifications in Aperture (modifications like keywords and image adjustments). So, after creating my new structure, I wanted to import all the editing images of my last shoot; sort of kicking off my greater use of Aperture. However, after importing the Project, I couldn't figure out how to move the images into the new shoot Album, in my "2006" Project. Hence my "can't move images"-post to you.
Your tip about dragging into the Project, not the Album, worked great, moving the images into their new place. Last night (morning, actually), my clumsy workaround was to drag the edited images into the new shoot album, then import the originals again, then use the stamp tool to copy the changes from the exisiting images to the new ones. I then deleted the images I'd imported via the existing Project. Much more of a pain than knowning what you told me!
Thanks again.

I am trying to get an album published but it does not recognise my apple id

I have an album i want to publish. But when i try, it does not accept my apple id, and tries to get me to create a new one, using an email that is already being used for that purpose. How can i fix this?

I have an album i want to publish.
How do you want to publish your album? Print it as a photo book, or do you want to publish a Shared Photo Stream? Sorry, the question is not quite clear.
What is your Aperture version, and what version of MacOS X do you have?

Error on publishing workflow from sharepoint designer

when I try to publish my workflow created with Workflow Designer I get this error message

Hi,
As I understand, when you published the workflow in SharePoint Designer you encountered the error.
I suggest you follow the steps below to troubleshoot this issue:
1. You could check if the App Management Service is started. (Go to CA -> System Settings -> Services on server -> check if the App Management Service is started.) If not, start the App Management Service, then perform iisreset.
2. If the issue still exists, you could click start->click “run”->type in “services.msc” ->restart "SharePoint Search Host Service". This is because there is not enough space to start the service. Note that the "SharePoint Search
Host Service" consumes a lot of memory.
The article below is about Error: The Requested Service, AppMng.svc Could Not be Activated.

Moving Multiple Albums & Album Sort Order Questions

Hopefully this is a really easy question to answer, but I just can't figure out how to do this.
1. Can you move multiple albums around in Aperture? I just imported my iPhoto libraries and I'd like to groups a set of the albums that I have into one project. The problem is that I can only move one album at a time.
2. Can you specify the sort order or manual set the order that albums appear in projects or folders? It seems that Aperture automatically sorts them alphabetically.
Thanks!

1. Can you move multiple albums around in Aperture?
unfortuantely, as far as i am aware you can only move one at a time
2. Can you specify the sort order or manual set the
order that albums appear in projects or folders? It

alphabetically.
you are correct, automatically alphabetically only ... i haven't been abble to change this at all ... the only way to force something else is by adding a ~ or other character that is ahead of 0 ...

OWB workflow question

I'm an OWB-newbie (using PARIS) and have a question about OWB workflows.
I want to create several mapping workflows.
All the mapping workflows should send a mail with the outcome of the workflows (success, error, warning) to an administrator.
I don't want to always code the same mail activity with the same parameter values.
So my idea is to write one subprocess which handles the mail-routine with some input parameters (calling workflow-name, process state (success, warning, error)).
In the subprocess I want to test the input parameter "process-state". If the value is 0 (success) then a mail with the workflow name as subject should be generated incuding an static text e.g. "mapping successful". If the value is 1 then "mapping warning" and so on.
What OWB activity has to be choosen for testing the input parameter "process-state" like an if-then-else construct or a case-construct?
How can the value of the input parameter "workflow-name" be included in the mail-body?
Regards
Martin

To my experience, using the OWF for these things is not very practical. I would suggest that you would make your own PL/SQL procedude that does this, and then call that procedure from within the actual mapping (post-mapping), using the values you have there.
This might not be what you want, however. I simply find the email capabilities of OWF too limited for actual work.
