ALERT: Bargain: laptop for storing images in the field

This is a slim laptop with DVD and CD burning capabilities:

Toshiba - Satellite Laptop with Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core Processor T2370
On sale at Best Buy through the 31st of this month. In-store only, not available online. I was able to finagle an additional 10% discount over the already amazing $430 sale price so it came to $387 plus sales tax and a $8 California "recycling fee."
DISCLAIMER: I have absolutely no connection to Toshiba or to Best Buy.
I just thought this would be a nice portable storage and archival device for photographers on the go.

Wait until you start to wander into the realms of uber-low-light photography or watch enthralled as you track a fast and erratically moving object as the camera locks on to it in 3-D and nails it time and again at 9 fps Ann. (Next spring I will finally photograph the arrival of the swallows, not the empty sky where they had just been as it has been in the past!)
 
 Those are the areas that no amount of previous experience (both digital and film) has prepared me for, though as you indicate, it's really more a progression than a learning curve.
 
 Yesterday I hand-held macro photographs at 1:1 of a tiny critter with rapidly flailing translucent feelers (or front legs?) negotiating a little blue toadstool cap no more than 1/4" across in a deep, dark forest gully (1/40, f/4.8, ISO 6400, 105mm Micro).

 Or a drop of water with trapped air bubbles caught in a spider-web harnessed moss frond well beyond reach of my tripod up a tree-trunk, with the sun almost directly behind (1/80, f/5, ISO 800).

 They're not the best macro results ever seen, but considering the circumstances it's something I would never have even thought to look for, let alone try to photograph pre-D3. I kept catching myself muttering "Extraordinary" under my breath as each exposure showed a result on the screen.

For a laptop for LR image loading on trips - is 1366x768 screen enough and HDD size?

I have big pc and big screens for editing at home, but for travel am looking for a laptop for loading images on the road and basic LR sorting and tagging while away.
2 questions to get your experiences, forum regulars, about my direction:
1. 1tb HDD with an external 1tb HDD as backup - rather than 256 or 512 gb inboard SSD (reasons of $$$ and also to load all my images on a trip)
2. 14 inch screen with 1366 x 768 or similar rather than full HD ($$$ reasons and becasue I figure I can zoom in to check focus on that screen just fine)
Your comments and experiences?
Oz

It meets the minimum requirements for display size which is 1024 x 768
I use a 15 inch Macbook Pro on the road, so pretty close in size.

Which is better datatype for storing Images in 11gr2 Database ?

Can anyone tell me which datatype should be maintained for storing images in database in terms of
1. Space
2. Speed.
And, Is there another way for storing images instead of database ?
Thanks/Regards in advacne.

Which one have better speed, database system or file system ?Database is better all around. It is not just a question of speed. It is a question of storage, security, flexibility, scalability, robustness and so on.
If you use ASM and raw devices from a storage array or SAN, how do you get o/s files onto that? (requires a file system on the SAN/array LUNs)
If it is inside the database, database security, concurrency and consistency apply to the image. Outside the database? How do you control who has access? Prevent someone with slippery fingers from accidentally deleting/renaming/moving images files? How do you backup up the image data with the image attribute data in the database?
Having all this inside the database, part of the database, managed by the database, provides you with more flexibility, robustness, and security. After all a RDBMS is a data management system - it is designed for managing data. And that includes managing binary data.
As for speed. Reading a 24MB image is reading 24MB worth of data. Whether that data is read by process A from disk1, or process B from disk2 - the amount of data is the same. So if you want faster I/O, then use faster disks. If disk1 is faster, process A will perform better reading the image than process B. If disk2 is faster, the roles are reversed.
So I/O speed is not a direct function of process A or process B. It is a direct function of the I/O storage and fabric layer. Yes, a process's method of I/O can make a difference (e.g. using block reads not aligned with the physical blocks on disk). But this is more a configuration issue than process doing badly designed I/O calls.
So the speed question is a bit loaded as it has more to do with the architecture and design of the I/O system - and less to do with the process doing that I/O. You can have a highly optimised I/O process doing poorly using an old and slow I/O layer, and poorly written I/O process doing pretty well on a SSD I/O layer.
Databases like Oracle is designed for dealing with data - and thus effectively dealing with I/O. Lots of it. For lots of data. So I/O process design is not a consideration. The database processes will use the I/O layer as optimally as possible and as configured.

What is the procedure for storing iPads over the summer

What is the procedure for storing iPads over the summer

Lock them up in a cart. Power off completely. If you don't have enough iPad carts any secure area will do - see environmental requirements below. You will just have to recharge each one next fall as they will not retain enough power to turn back on.
Operating temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
Nonoperating temperature: -4° to 113° F (-20° to 45° C)
Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing
Maximum operating altitude: 10,000 feet (3000 m)

Every time i try to install itunes on my laptop for windows i get the message''key not valid for use in specified state'' any clue? '

every time i try to install itunes on my laptop for windows i get the message''key not valid for use in specified state'' any clue?

For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors try moving the folder RSA from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to say C:\<User>\RSA (just in case there should be a need to restore it) then try installing again. This folder appears to act as a cache and should be rebuilt automatically as required.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Hi Sdnguna,
                   Every fields value stored in Database table only.
                  1. Goto T.code SE15.
                  2.Click the ABAP Dictionary.
                  3.Click the fields.
                  4.And click the Table Fields.
In that field name you will enter the Field name and Execute it.
You will get the so many table name you will find out eassily where the field value stored.

Storing images inside the database

hi,
we are running oracle 9ir2 on Solaris and would like to know how to go about achiving the following:
would like to be able to read/write/create/delete bitmap image files in a file share on the same server as the database which would be stored in a table within our schema in the form <filename varchar2>,<image-file-contents blob>
Is this possible?! If so - any pointers in the right direction would be great!
thanks,
p

To some extent, this was covered a few days ago in the PL/SQL forum. There are some examples of uploading image files to blobs in the database here.
upload any file (like .DOC,.JDG) to oracle database?
If you want the images to be visible on a file system, you may want to use BFILE's, rather than BLOB's. BFILE's are essentially pointers in the database to file system objects, while BLOB's are stored completely in the database. The major disadvantages of BFILE's are that
- the file may be deleted or moved, leaving the Oracle BFILE pointing at nothing
- the file won't be backed up with the rest of the database
Going up a level of sophistication, you could store the images using interMedia. This gives you significantly more options for manipulating the images within the database.
Finally, you can use Oracle iFS (or whatever it's been renamed to today) to provide a file system interface to an Oracle database. This is the most robust of the options, but is also the most work to configure.

Table for Storing Images

Hi all,
I want to create a table for storing a particular Image file.
The image and its related details will be stored in the table.
Later on I want to retrieve it using executable report.So that for a particular Image Name i am entering, it should be displayed in the report.
Please help me.
Regards,
Sunny

Hi,
Call the FM BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_CREATEF to upload the images from System.
codeLOGICAL_SYSTEM
CLASSNAME PICTURES
CLASSTYPE OT
CLIENT 321

IFS for Storing images?

Would it make sense to use iFS to store and serve images that are uploaded
(via browser) and then displayed on a website?
When storing the imgages directly on the disk we run into scalability issues
as well as having to worry about propagating copies of each image to each
web
server.
Does it make more sense to store the images in iFS or simply in a BLOB (or
whatever) in a normal Oracle table?
Is anyone using iFS for this?
Regards

Well, it runs more resources than the database itself does, since it runs as an external Java application. Check out the Installation Guide for recommended memory and disk for running it on the same machine as the database or on the middle tier.
As Hanne said, it all depends on your priorities. If all you want to do is store and you're an adroit database programmer, you might bypass iFS altogether. If you don't want to do any development to give users the ability to upload, download, and search for images, and you'd rather give them familiar network protocol interfaces like Windows networking and FTP than a custom application, I'd run the file system.

Folder for stored images (Portalheader)

Hello experts,
could anyone let me know where I can find all the uploaded images for the Portalheader(Masthead). Where can I find the folder who is ressponsible for the administration of the images/background images??
Thank you
Regards
Marco

Hi Marco,
You can find those uploaded image files in KM. KM is like your file server but is within the Portal that you can use to manage your files/content/data. Files, content or data exist in KM can be index and search via the Portal TREX (Search Engine).

IPhoto rotates images in slideshow even though the thumbnail for that images has the correct orientation.

This problem seems bizarre to me considering iPhoto 11 has worked with out a hitch since I upgraded from 09 ages ago. The photos in my album suddenly changed orientation from landscape to portrait and vice versa and sometimes upside down. I first notice this problem after I tried to click and drag a large number of photos directly from iPhoto to Finder. I did a Command-A to highlight all the photos from my album and tried to drag them to a folder in Finder. There are 34,000 photo in this album but only half were copied, (I guess 34,000 items is too much for Lion to copy all at once). I tried fixing this orientation problem by highlighting all affected photos and selecting "Revert to Original" which fixed the orientation of the thumbnails. But when you double click on a thumbnail to view the pictures or view the album in a slideshow, some of the pictures still have the incorrect orientation but most were corrected. Also if I double click on an affected photos to edit it with iPhoto image editor the image suddenly orientates itself correctly. Then as soon as I close the image editor and view the photo or start a slide show it's displayed with the incorrect orientation again. How is that possible that all my thumbnails are orientated properly but when I view the photo it's rotated sideways or sometimes rotated upside down? Any help or insight to my problem would be much appreciated.

Revereting to original will not fix the problem. When you invoke that menu option iPhoto will read the file again, see the tag that tells it to rotate the file and will rerotate it.
The most reliable way to fix this is to rotate those file before they are imported into iPhoto. Upload from the camera to a folder on the Desktop, rotate those that need rotating, rename if desired and import. I use Xee for that because it can rotate the file losslessly.

Need suggestion for Best Laptop for Premier Editing on the Go

Hello,
I am a longtime user of Premier and Aftereffects and planning to buy Premier CS4 in the next few weeks.
Considering I travel a lot I need a good laptop to edit my shoot while traveling. I would like to hear from this forum the recommended laptops for editing. I am budgeting around US $2,000/-.
Secondly should I request the laptop vendor for Windows XP instead of Windows Vista considering XP seems to have better speed than Vista. If CS4 is completely 64 bit then I may end up with Vista.
One review suggested Gateway P-7811FX is a good laptop for Photoshop / Premier CS4 since it is a gaming laptop and understand it weighs 9.1 lbs.
Thanks for reading this posting and all the suggestions - pointers in advance.

Holy crap...do NOT get a Gateway anything.
Gaming technologies and build concepts sometimes are useful in video production builds, but not always. Stuff like graphics rendering often doesn't affect video.
HP has a 17" laptop line in the dv7 that is pretty nicely configured. Dual 7200 RPM drives available, as well as on board eSATA built in (for additional storage, or for connecting to an external RAID array).
Vista 64 is preferable, since the OS can utilize more RAM. Even if the suite itself is only 64bit compatible (as opposed to completely 64bit "aware") you still benefit from the OS being able to delegate an entire set of RAM to each application without sharing from a small pool of only 4 GB. I believe you can configure that dv7 laptop with up to 8 GB of RAM (or at least it's capable of up to 8 GB, but maybe you have to purchase your own upgrades separately).
Vista 32 runs PPro and AE very fast on my laptop, faster than XP Pro ever worked for me. Vista is a little bit smarter about handling physical RAM and processor resources (Vista SP1 made the OS very usable, and 3rd party support is a non issue if you are purchasing new components or a new machine, as you seem to be doing...hiccups come with trying to get 5 or 10 year old hardware and software to work on a new OS like Vista). Don't believe too much of the hype until you've given it a shot.
Oh, about 64 bit support...Photoshop CS4 is 64-bit native (Windows Vista 64 only, not Mac OSX). After Effects and Premiere Pro can open multiple instances of the application for rendering and such to take advantage of RAM availability. After Effects and Premiere Pro do approach this slightly differently from one another, but the end result is still that you have a 32 bit application that is trying to act like a 64 bit one, and from what I've seen so far, that makes a difference over 32 bit OS.

Storing data in the fields during the transition back and forth

How to make the transition within the tab back and forth, the page is not updated, and the data saved in the fields? Caching enabled, but its not work, or after Opera I think that the cache should work differently. There's all the data stored in the transition. Its not auto fill when typing in the field, or by using the wand passwords. Data in the field is only stored until update the page. In fact, you can only go back on any number of levels of your history, and then return to the past and the data fields will be the same. So in the 12x version of Opera

I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on my desktop. Can I also load into onto my laptop for working remotely with the same serial number?

I use Adobe Pro on my desktop daily at the office and now will be handling work remotely from a laptop as well. Adobe Pro is essential for my work (bates stamping, redaction, advanced editing, etc). Can I use the same serial number and installation disc to load this on my laptop? There are no instructions that speak to this issue and I know other programs I have installed provided for both desktop and laptop access. It isn't like I am giving use of this product to another user or pirating it, so I can't foresee an issue. Any information is much appreciated. Thank you!

Hi rebekah,
Adobe End User License Agreement entitles you to install a singe retail license on 2 computers at any instance.
So you can load Acrobat 9 license on the other computer too.
