Another call for CMYK and full Adobe format support

As a sometimes creative director, publisher, photographer, and graphic guy -- I'd like to see LR evolve into a complete tool to manage all of Adobe's "photo graphic' assets. I think it's fair to say that a "photo graphic" is now much more than a JPEG, TIF, PSD, or RAW file.
In addition to the usual suspects, derivative "photo graphic" works often include PDFs, .INDD or .Ai files -- in both RGB and CMYK color spaces.
Q: If LR is modular why would it be difficult for LR to ingest RGB previews for all Adobe file formats? Adobe already has algorithims to rasterize thumbnails for each format. Isn't it a logical extension that LR apply the same proven rasterization processes to build full previews?
What's the problem and why the timidity? Thanks for reading ...

Max...
I think you posted to the wrong thread...this one is all about why Lightroom won't be getting CMYK...
And yes, Adobe bought pixmantic to get Michael Jonsson who moved from Denmark to San Jose and is now working with the Camera Raw team of Thomas Knoll & Zalman Stern.
Those are the guys responsible for the Camera Raw pipeline which also happens to be used in Lightroom. Michael isn't actually working on Lightroom directly but what he works on will end up in Lightroom by virtue of additions to the Camera Raw pipeline.
"LightRoom is a metamorph of RawShooter"
Yeah, that was pretty much wrong...
"Majority of the pros cannot print 12x18 or larger prints in house. "
Uh, that entirely depends on YOUR definition of the term "pro"...most of the pros I know have at least a printer that can output 17x22 for doing tabloid size proofs for clients. So, either an Epson 4800/3800 or Canon 5000.
I personally have a 3800, 4800, 7800 and 9800 series of printers in the studio. Most of my work gets printed on the 7800 on 24" x 30" paper sizes but I do print 36" x 48" prints on the 9800. I rarely go larger than 36" wide.
And if you are outputting to photo labs for volume prints, most of those labs require sRGB (stupid of them but true).
I think your basic problem was you were making a whole bunch of assumptions, most of them wrong. Yes, Lightroom needs soft proofing...doh! Yes, Lightroom needs the ability to output to profiles other than color spaces...and yes, Lightroom ain't done yet. So, you can roll up your sleeves and help out or you can stand on the sidelines p!issing & moaning...
Which is it?

  • Change public share access to read only for public and full access to selected users

    Hi, new to the community just purchased a recertified WDMyCloud 2TB after my 2 years old MyBookLive 2TB HD died due to accidental power cable unplugging. I've got everything setup including MiniDLNA by following instructions on this forum and everything is working  exactly as I want it to except public share. I want public share to be set to read only access for public and full access to certain users (just myself at the moment) and having a "upload" folder within this share with full public access to everything in this folder would be a bonus. I tried login in to ftp with root user and removing write permission for public but that blocks me out as well. I'm sure it's possible by doing some majic on SSH but I wouldn't have a clue so hoping someone here would be able to help me out.

    What i want is public to have read only access to file server. Public as in users who do not have a user account on mycloud. E.g someone who connects to to my home network for the first time and is able to browse and download content from public share. I'm aware of being able to set indivual access to shares for users like full access, read only and no access but public users won't have a user account.Through the My Cloud UI interface what you seek to do is not possible. The public share like all other share folders are an all or nothing affair when using the adminstration UI. When using the administration UI you do not have granular control on shared folders to limit non users to read only access or set permission levels for subfolders. The workaround to do what you seek and have the public folder set for read only is to change the folder settings via SSH. It may take some work to set the folder security so that users can read/write to the public folder while the guests only have read access. However, if you reboot the WD My Cloud or update the WD My Cloud firmware those settings may be reset back to the default settings where the entire public folder is read/write for all. There are way to prevent this but again it will take a bit of coding to do so via SSH. See this link (even though its for the WD My Book Live) for a starting point on how to use SSH to change the permission levels on the public folder. Another option if one doesn't go the SSH route is to turn off public sharing for the public folder then create a "guest" user account and give that "guest" account read only access to the public folder while all other user accounts have full read/write access.

  • Illustrator CS5 Not the Default for EPS and other Vector Formats

    Hey everyone, the issue I'm haveing is not just with Illustrator, but sense I couldnt find a general CS5 forum, and Illustrator was the last CS5 application i noticed this for I'm hoping to find some answers here.
    So on to the issue....
    I have noticed that on other computers (Macs for sure) that Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver etc... are set as the default handlers of certain file types that are associated with each application, and as such, give each filetype there own little icons reflecting such.
    However on my system (Windows 7 Ultimate x64) this does not seem to be the case. I can go in and set them as default manually, which I have done for the filetypes I use most frequently, but I do not get to enjoy the nice icons that made for each filetype, i just get a bland, default icon that is the same for every filetype.
    Is there a way to fix this issue?
    Thanks for you help.

    Yes, I think i mentioned it before that I knew I could set the default app through Explorer (right clicking, going to "open with" etc..) but this doesn't let you use any of the custom icons that come with the adobe applications, it sets it as the default icon associated witht he particular application. I'll take a look in the properties when I get home but, but I think you may be referring to the "open with" dialogue.
    Most applications like Firefox, iTunes etc.. have a button in there preferences menu to "set as default" for all file types they can open, however I don't see such an option in any Adobe applications except for bridge, and that doesn't seem to do anything.

    I believe in the properties pane for one of those files it will display the default app for opening such files and you can  change it there as well and make it apply to all similar files.

  • DAC Commands for Incremental and Full load

    Hi,
    I'm implementing BIApps 7.9.6.1 for a customer. For R12 container, I noticed for 5 DAC tasks the command for Incremental and Full load starts with "@DAC_" and ends with "_CMD". Due to this, the ETL load fails. Is this a bug..?
    Thanks,
    Seetharam

    You may want to look at Metalink note ID 973191.1:
    Cause
    The 'Load Into Source Dimension', has the following definition:
    -- DAC Client > Design > Tasks > Load Into Source Dimension > Command for Incremental Load = '@DAC_SOURCE_DIMENSION_INCREMENTAL'
    and
    -- - DAC Client > Design > Tasks > Load Into Source Dimension > Command for Full Load = '@DAC_SOURCE_DIMENSION_FULL'
    instead of the actual Informatica workflow names.
    The DAC Parameter is not substituted with appropriate values in Informatica during ETL
    This is caused by the fact that COMMANDS FOR FULL and INCREMENTAL fields in a DAC Task do not allow for database specific texts as described in the following bug:
    Bug 8760212 : COMMANDS FOR FULL AND INCREMENTAL SHOULD ALLOW DB SPECIFIC TEXTS
    Solution
    This issue was resolved after applying Patch 8760212
    The documentation states to apply Patch 8760212 to DAC 10.1.3.4.1 according to the Systems Requirements and Supported Platforms Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Data Warehouse Administration Console 10.1.3.4.1.
    However, Patch 8760212 has been made obsolete, recently, in this platform and language. Please see the reason stated below on the 'Patches and Update' tab on My Oracle Support.
    Reason for Obsolescence
    Use cumulative Patch 10052370 instead.
    Note: The most recent replacement for this patch is 10052370. If you are downloading Patch 8760212 because it is a prerequisite for another patch or patchset, you should verify whether or not if Patch 10052370 is suitable as a substitute prerequisite before downloading it.

  • I would like to print out the icon and title of each of my apps to another document for printing and sharing within my family

    I would like to print out the icon and title of each of my IOS apps to another document for printing and sharing within my family.  My son has my old iPod touch so I erased it so he could put whatever games he wants to play on that I used to play with.  It is difficult to download every game at one time because there is too much to download at one time.  I have many hundreds of apps.  One way I found was to create a screen grab of each page in iTunes  then open it in Preview contact sheet but that is really tiny unreadable image of each screen.  I also tried importing a screen shot of the contact sheet into Paint 2 and magnifying it on several pages but that is really blurry.  The ideal solution would be to import the icon and text to another app or to provide a print list of apps solution within iTunes.

    Create iPad screen shots by briefly pressing the home and on/off buttons together.  You will hear a shutter click sound and find a screen shot on your iPad's Camera Roll.  You can then print these screen shots as you would any iPad photos.
    UPDATE: I assumed you had an iPad.  Hopefully your iOS device does have an on/off and home button and is capable of producing screen shots.

  • Support for CMYK and IPTC

    Can interMedia store CMYK colorspace images and images containing IPTC metadata?

    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Susan Mavris:
    Can interMedia store CMYK colorspace images and images containing IPTC metadata?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
    Any image, regardless of format and/or color space, can be stored in the interMedia ORDImage object type. Similarly, any audio or video can be stored in the ORDAudio or
    ORDVideo object type.
    If the format of the media being stored is natively understood by interMedia, we offer additional capability, namely attribute extraction and image processing.
    The ORDImage import method automatically calls the setProperties method to extract image attributes. This is a problem for formats that are not natively understood by interMedia. If the format stored in the format attribute of the ORDImage object begins with "OTHER", the import method will not automatically call setProperties after importing the image into the BLOB. This
    is how to avoid problems with importing CMYK and IPTC images using the ORDImage import method.
    Please take a look at the interMedia Annotator Utility. This utility, available on OTN, is capable of parsing IPTC metadata
    and uploading the metadata and the image into the database. Depending on what formats you're using, it may also be able to parse your CMYK color space images.

  • Asked for CMYK and got SD/SP-codes

    I am not sure I got the right category. If not I am so sorry!
    I asked my customer for CMYK-codes. They d
    ont know what I am talking about, and just sent me some color codes, they got from the printing bureau. Now I am the one whom dont know what they are talking about.... I got:  "Red/Orange - SD30014" - please help, what color scheme is that? How can I transfer it safely to web (NOT interested in websafe colors tho!!!!)? Hov can I calc the other colors as well?
    Kind regards
    Lone J

    OK. First Photoshop Elements DOESN'T support CMKY color management. Never did. This is one of the primary reasons for upgrading to Photoshop itself, because of the publishing abilities of that professional category product. CMKY color management is used to interface digital image files with printer's inks, along with (generally) "Pantone" inks color swatches
    Second, your post is bordering on incoherent, at least to me. First you're talking about customers giving you CMKY codes, then you're talking about the web. It could be me, who knows? Feel free to wait for a second opinion, you won't hurt my feelings.
    IMHO, this post is possibly incorrectly directed. If you do have Photoshop itself, then this should go to that forum; http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop and then the appropriate OS (Windows or Mac) sub-forum. That said, it still might be a bit too cryptic to get your point across accurately.
    Or perhaps, someone with more experience in the CMKY color space will be able to interpolate your intended meaning. Read between the lines, so to speak.

  • Getting multiple intermittent calls for VOP_OPEN() and VOP_CLOSE() from kernel when copying files to my VFS

    When I try to copy a file to my mounted VFS, I get multiple VOP_OPEN() and VOP_CLOSE() commands intermittently. This behavior was not seen on OSX versions earlier to Mavericks. I used VOP_CLOSE() as event to trigger code to Check-in command to my server, as a result now I am getting multiple check-in requests from my kernel extension module which finally fail.
    How do I work around this issue on Mavericks?

    Hi Ncat,
    I might have had similar problems with yours. Finder stuck at 'Not Responding' while I boot my Macbook Pro with external HDD plugged in, my macbook heats up considerably maybe because it keeps trying to access the external disk. And Finder can only proceed after I unplugged my external hard disk.
    So what I did was:
    I rebooted my macbook into recovery mode (by holding cmd+R before / during the booting chime
    I used the Disk Utility from there (instead of from normal booting)
    Then I proceed to with 'Repair Permissions' and 'Repair Disk' for each and every partition of the external harddisk, and also my internal hard disk.
    Rebooted after everything's done, and now it seems to work.
    I hope that it will work for you

  • I use Webcourses for school and it does not support Firefox 4 or higher, how can I go back to Firefox 3.6 (windows 7) ?

    I do online classes and the web portal for the school (UCF) does not support any firefox version higher than Firefox 3.6.
    I get thrown out of the portal at various times and it is really making things difficult.
    How do I go back to firefox 3.6 from firefox 4.01 in windows 7?

    Install Firefox Portable 3.6.20 to your hard drive for that website. <br />
    http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36
    It won't affect your current Firefox installation, which you should update to Firefox 6.0 - you are missing a bunch of important security fixes by being two versions behind the latest. 3.6.20 doe have all those fixes.

    Hi Ozark.
    i'm in some sort on reflexion right now about the same issue... One problem that i have, is the price of BC.
    I think it is too expensive... there are more and more open source solutions for Web designer firm and there is also a ruff competition on hosting.
    for example: i, to be competitive, offer full service hosting with unlimited everything for 10$ a month... try to tell your client that "i need to move your site and it's gonna cost you the double"
    I've been a long time user of adobe product, and now i feel a little stranded. Add to this, a 2000$ fee for rebranding the system and the poor lack of support (no phone number to call)
    and especially for francophone users...
    i'm a little sad of the situation, i thought i could upgrade all my suite and finally save some time. i'm not ready to make the jump yet.

  • Bullet and Full Stop formatting in right to left languages?

    I am copying and pasting text from an arabic document to Captivate 7.  This has been translated for us as I don't speak the language.  The formatting in Word is perfect, bullets appear on the right, full stops appear on the left.
    When it pastes into Captivate, the text is rendered perfectly, but the bullets want to go to the left and the full stops want to go to the right. 
    Any help or advice?  Thanks!

  • Can I install the Flash Plugin for Firefox, and the Adobe Flash application program, on the same machine?

    PC with Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    Firefox 33.1
    Shockwave Flash 15.0.0.223 installed as a Firefox plug-in.
    Everything performs perfectly, and I particularly like the fact that when I encounter a file (usually video) on the web, I can ACTIVATE ADOBE FLASH on a once-only basis, rather than ALWAYS FOR THIS SITE.
    So here is my question. I encountered a .SWF file on the web, and played it through the plugin. I then downloaded the file to my desktop. From the desktop, there does not seem to be a way to play it through the Firefox Plug-in. Is this correct - am I missing something?
    In order to play the file, do I need to install a copy of Shockwave Flash or Adobe Flash Player as a standalone application program on my machine? Is it OK to have both the standalone application and the Firefox plugin on one machine? By the way, I am not interested in using WMP as the player.
    Thanks
    Bill

    VLC Player looks like a nice application, and it will play FLV files. However, it will not play .SWF files, which was the subject of my initial query. I admit that I am a little confused about the difference between .SWF and .FLV, since they are both called Flash files. My bad. I would love to find a standalone player that will handle both. Nothing fancy required - just play the file!
    As a side note, I downloaded VLC Player from the link you suggested. It installed easily and worked well. However, a Google search reveals that there are a number of sources for corrupted versions of the player, which contain malware. Thank you, Fred, for a straight steer.

  • Different Video Clips for Chapters and Full Feature Movie

    How can you assign a different movie clip for the animated chapter frames and for the full feature video when you click on the frame in the menu???

    Even if you do not want that part to be seen in the real movie?
    We have cut a feature film (dance show) in five parts, just for the sake of video previews (supposed to be seen in slow motion).
    If you put these five so called "preview videos" to the end of the time line with the appropriate poster frames linked to the appropriate chapter markers will they be hidden in the main movie, right?
    Thanks a lot for your feedback.

  • Need a single point of view on date selections for Delta and Full load IP's

    Hi Experts,
    Every year we are facing issues on date selections for data extraction, for example the Delta or Full selections for particular IP is like 2005 to 2008 , in this situation, for the year 2009, this IP is picking 0 records as the selections are upto 2008 only.
    My requirement is, I need to check the selections of all the IP's in the system and want to change on need base if the selections are getting expired instead of going and checking manually to each and every IP as the system is having around 3000 IP's, which is a tedious job.
    Guys, please let us know if there exits a Table/Program or any other way to check it.
    Inputs appreciated.
