Any Way to Set Default Settings for HDR Toning?

I have developed a nice set of parameters for the HDR Toning feature and have saved them as Noels Defaults, but I don't see a way to make them the default settings for HDR Toning. Frankly I find the default color settings for the tool very garish. I suppose that's good, because it always reminds me that I need to select my own settings, but...
Can you suggest a way to make my own settings the HDR Toning dialog defaults, so as to save a step each time I use it?
My apologies if I'm being dense and missing something obvious.
Thanks.
-Noel
P.S., I'm on Windows 7 by the way, and of course I'm talking about Photoshop CS5.

Thanks Zeno.
Well, then, Adobe, could you please make the defaults settable, for example like Camera Raw?
Thank you.

Is there any way to change the settings for the built in isight camera?

I'm sure someone else has probably already asked this, but is there any way to change the settings for the built in isight camera? The resolution is horrible.

Welcome to  Discussions, Prissymissysays
The last Apple-published resolution data I saw said that iSight's resolution is 640x480 VGA. I do not know of any way to change iSight's resolution, but that level is plenty of quality for my webcam needs.
The software you use to operate your iSight controls it, so specific answers will depend on what software you are using when you need more resolution. Check Help in that application to see if it can change iSight's resolution.
Some software, such as Apple's QuickTime 7 Pro allow you to change iSight's video quality and compression level with its QuickTime Player > Preferences > Recording > Quality: setting. You can add iGlasses software to manually override some iSight settings that are otherwise controlled automatically by the software using iSight. However, I do not think either of these options really changes iSight's resolution.
Check whether your iSight's lens cover has fingerprints or smudges on it. Then check iSight's image quality of your face in full sunlight about two feet from the lens. Best image quality requires more light than what most people would consider normal room lighting.
If you are still having problems, consider the applicable suggestions from How to Troubleshoot iSight.
If you need better resolution than iSight can deliver for some special imaging requirement such as close-up or high-accuracy images, you may need to consider using a different camera that better meets your special needs.

Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view

When my Finder windows open in column view, all the columns are always VERY wide. I have to then spend time resizing them to a managable width. Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view?

No, because you can't set a columns view default.

Is there any way to set a timer for particular playlist?

i would like to listen to a sleep playslist everynight without getting up to turn it on. is there any way to set it in advance?

this is not the problem. i know how to open iTunes when it starts up and to schedule the computer to shut down. what i want to is at 8 pm close all applications except iTunes, put the display to sleep and at 9 pm start playing a sleep playlist. i have been told many times not to look at the computer an hour before bed and i so i want to avoid having to look at it to start my go to sleep playlist.
i have looked at a number of programs but i don’t see one that does this yet.

Set default Settings for Brightness/Contrast Slider

I am in the throes of editing several hundred pictures. My camera has a standard tendency toward too bright and not enough contrast. While editing about a hundred pictures in Photoshop Elements 3.0 last night, the brightness/Contrast and Shadow highlight slider suddenly retained the last setting - which GREATLY enhanced my editing efficiency! Alas, today it is back to normal - the Brightness/Contrast slider default is 0 for it's associated sliders and the Shadow Highlight option is again at 50%/0/0 for the three associated sliders.
Is there a way to set a default value for the associated sliders for each of these?
(I had installed Photoshop Elements 5.0 on a trial basis up until yesterday and also have Photoshop Elements 4.0 installed, but it is such a hassle to use, I just gave up on it (and 5.0 has the same issue as 4.0 - no concurrent file browser when editing.))

Can't help you with Shadows/Highlights, but you do have an option with Brightness/Contrast. Instead of going to Enhance>Adjust Lighting>Brightness/Contrast, go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Brightness/Contrast instead. Once you've established the parameters you want for Brightness and Contrast, you can open up additional pictures and drag-and-drop the adjustment layer onto each new picture, retaining the settings from the first adjustment. This also allows you to quickly tweak the settings on the succeeding pictures, as adjustment layers can be readjusted ad infinitum.
If only Shadows/Highlights had an adjustment layer option...

Is there any way to set a property for all existing Form Fields of a particular type (Che

In versions of Acrobat prior to version 9, selecting a particular form tool (Textbox, Checkbox), etc. would only display Fields of that particular type in the Acrobat Designer (not LiveCycle).
If one wanted to change a particular property of all check boxes for example, one would select the Checkbox Tool, Click Edit>Select All>Right Click one of the Checkboxes and Set the Property for all of the Form's Checkboxes.
Selecting a particular form tool in the Acrobat (not Lifecycle) Designer in version 9 appears to no longer filter the display to that particular form field type. Is there any way to display only 1 particular form field type in or set a particular property for all existing Form Fields of a particular type (Check Box, Text Box, etc.) in Acrobat 9?

Thanks for the tip..Am aware of this option and have used JavaScript to batch change properties in the past...
Am looking for a way to replicate the interactive procedure available in previous versions. Also, want a way to only display certain Form Field types (use this when analyzing forms which I didn't create).

Any way to set default Save Settings? Fireworks CS3

Everytime I scan a picture and hit "Save As", then default

Can I set the default to be PNG in the dropdown?
Thanks!

Actually, the plain PNG file format is a pure raster/bitmap
image
format. The vectors in Fireworks were added to the
proprietary data
chunk that can be added to a PNG file. There's no intrinsic
vector
support in the PNG format. The open vector format for the Web
was
supposed to be the SVG format which still has little to no
support.

The advantages of the PNG format as an end format for Web
sites are
still as real as ever: being able to embed a color profile,
full alpha
transparency, adaptive lossless compression that handles what
GIF and
JPGs traditionally did equally well in one file at usually
smaller sizes
than either of them. All of that still holds true more than
ever,
especially now that IE7 finally handles transparency. But
none of that
is even remotely relevant to Fireworks.
It's that use of the format as a native editable format I
question and I
still think it was a bad idea if only for how confusing it is
for new users.

Browser support and usage as a native file format within a
graphics
application are two non-related and completely different
things. The
browser limitations of PNG never affected its behavior within
Fireworks
where it matters to Fireworks users. Being able to preview
one's native
file in a browser is only a marginally useful side-effect of
using the
PNG format and the only one anyone seems to be able to come
up with.
No one expects a PSD or an AI file to be preview-able in a
browser. Why
would that be so important for Fireworks? The PNG format
might be open
but the proprietary data Fireworks uses to save its native
data is not.
Again, what's the point? What's the advantage? Where's the
brilliance?
You would not use a native FW PNG file on a Web site or a
Flex app that
is bloated Hey! I can see what my site comp looks like in my
browser.
Big deal...by Fireworks' proprietary data. You would use an
exported
one. What's the big deal with Fireworks using the PNG file
format for
its native files then? What is the advantage over an entirely
proprietary format like PSD, AI or INDD? To me, there is
none. The only
"open" part of the PNGs Fireworks saves is the bitmap preview
part. The
rest is a closed proprietary format just like a PSD or AI
file. But wow!
I can see what my native FW file looks like in my browser!
Big deal...
Sorry for the sarcasm but when people are loosing work I have
to
question why the choice was made to use the same format and
file
extension for a graphic app's editable files as one of its
main flattened
exported ones. I see none, none whatsoever. What is really
worth it
then? Not to me, not by any stretch of the imagination.

Any way to set "active mode" for FTP, or to use sFTP instead?

I have a web host that does not support passive FTP mode. I need to either set the mode to be "active mode", or I need to use secure FTP (sFTP). Is there any support for either of these within Muse?

Hi
By default , Adobe Muse FTP option uses " Passive Mode" , I am afraid its not possible to switch to "Active Mode" or to switch to Secure FTP. Alternatively, you may export the site locally using " Export as HTML " and then you may use third party FTP client to upload the site to your third party hosting using Active or Secure FTP.
Let me know if you have any further query.

Win7 and Reader X - default settings for ALL users/profiles

I have a custom browser/app that opens PDF's within the app which can sometimes cause issues. I found that if I set Reader X to not open in the browser (Edit>Preferences>Internet - uncheck "Display PDF in Browser") that this does resolve most issues. My problem...when changed this only affects the current user/profile that's logged in. Potentially there can be dozens of users on these laptops. The other setting is when opening a PDF, I get the warning about Protected Mode not being able to be used due to the current configuration. I can select "Always open with Protected Mode disabled" and I no longer get the message; but again, current user/profile only.
Is there a way to set these settings for ALL users/profiles? Running Win7 (32bit) with Reader X.

I do not know why you experience this; what exactly happens when a non-admin users attempts to highlight something?
You are talking about highlighting in the same document?

Is there any way we can set default value for a Date Attribute to current date in Master Data Services

Is there any way we can set default value for a Date Attribute to current date in Master Data Services.
I as well wants to know that is there any posibility to show Calendar control while input data into respective date attributes.
Thanks.

Hi Anagha,
So far i havent found any way to set todays date by default from MMI, but i guess this flow should work as workaroud
1. Add buisness rule which can set a default value when Date = NULL/Blank
2.get the entity table ,use -select EntityTable from mdm.tblEntity where Name = '<enter entity name>'
3.Go to that table and add a after update trigger like
if uda_<entityid>_<attributeid(Date attribute)> = default value
update uda_<entityid>_<attributeid(Date attribute)> =getdate() where id = <LastUpdatedRow>
I will check on this too from my side.
By the way AFAIK i dont think so calendar control integration is possible .

Photoshop CS5 HDR Toning - Any Way to Change Defaults?

I've been fooling with the Image > Adjust > HDR Toning... feature, and as long as one keeps the settings relatively conservative, the tool produces good results with little downside. It's really great for a landscape with a bright sky and dark trees.
However, the system defaults are pretty nasty... +20% Color Saturation? Now admittedly, the garish color DOES remind me to change the settings.
I've created my own settings and saved them as "Noels Defaults", but I don't see an obvious way to make these settings the default when the HDR Toning tool first starts up.
I admit, it's not a huge deal to select my own settings from the drop down list at the start of the run, but who, in the 21st century, programs a dialog without making the settings "sticky" or at least providing a way to set a better default? At least it remembers where I put it.
If you know a way I'm not thinking of to change the defaults for HDR Toning it'll save me a step and help me keep my mind on the editing job rather than on the editor.
Thanks.

Hi PonchoSloth13,
You may download the English version installer from: http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html and install it on you machine as a trial. However you will not be able to activate it with a German Language key. To activate the software in English you require English version key.

Hi ,
You can add property 'request.mandatorylanguage=<your_language>'

My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?

My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?
It would be so much easier having seperate accounts but we have hundreds of her purchased songs on my account and she would need to be able to access these from her account. Possible?
Also, if we bought a song in future we would want to be able to both have access to it.
Alternatively, what is the easy way to sync two distinctly different contact lists to one iTunes account?
Thank you in advance.

FYI: iTunes account (used to make purchases) is not the same as iTunes library (iTunes on your computer with music, movies, etc.).
ecbclb wrote:
Will we have to create a seperate account for her, or can we all have the same one?
You can but you will not be able to limit what she syncs.
I would like to avoid 'checking' and 'unchecking' individual songs every time one of us tries to synch our ipods to the library.
I don't recommend using (only) the checkmarks to select what to sync.
Each of you can create your own playlists then sync only those playlists.
Then add/delete from your own playlists to change iPod content.
The only time I uncheck items is if I rarely/never want to sync them to anything, such as Christmas music or old audiobooks.
I suggest you each have your own computer login account. Then everyone has their own contacts, calendars, and everything else.
You and your husband can share an iTunes library and let your daughter have her own.

I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wires apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wires apple id for iTunes?

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

Any hacks to modify default settings in common adjustment settings?

Hey folks, I've just recently upgraded to Aperture 2.0 and am (thankfully) seeing many improvements both in performance and features.
However, it seems that with the new version, Apple has decided to not allow you to customize any of the default settings for commonly used adjustments (in my case "Crop") to use my own settings.
Specifically I'd like to add my default crop-values of a ratio of 16x9 (ideally replacing the default 3x2)
Any chance there's n easy hack?

It appears to me after tinkering around that I can set a page like I want it and then save it as a template. I did so to a folder in Finder. Now the only way I can automatically bring up "default" settings on a Pages blank document is to go directly to that file in Finder and open it from there, not from Pages itself. Is there any other way to do this?
