Anybody create slideshows for businesses? ...need advice

Hi Kids,
well, ...my goal is to create slideshows for businesses here in town. But I am not sure what businesses would benefit from them.
I have done quite a few slideshows for family and friends, and am trying to think of ways to earn some extra money to put my daughter thru school.
I am employed full time as an Art Director for an advertising agency, so I would like to use my experience as a graphic designer to create professional packaging/graphics, etc. for the client as well.
Anybody care to share what type of business to approach, that lend themselves to a slideshow, ...like your typical wedding slideshow.
Thanks so much in advance
Robin

One possible service you could provide is to scan in people's photo albums, page by page or better yet have them remove and submit those photos in order and create a slideshow either in iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD (that's what I prefer) and add some music. I get better final image quality when creating the slideshow entirely in iDVD and it's easy to add titles and comments
(NOTE: if you import the photos using iPhoto or iDVD's media pane all of the file names/titles will be shown if you select the Show titles option. If you select the photo thumbnails in iPhoto and drag into the open iDVD slideshow organization window, you won't get all of the titles when the option is selected. Makes it easier to add just one or two titles without having to delete all the rest manually.)
A great, IMO, slideshow application that you can import into iDVD to burn is PhotoPresenter. I think it has better themes and transitions than iPhoto and will take both stills and video clips in the same show.

How to create slideshow for pictures on blank page

G'day,
I'm just starting to use iWeb 09 and would like to ask a really basic question. My apologies in advance if it has been asked and answered in the past.
I have created a page using the "blank page" template and added some text and pictures. On the photo page, I understand that you can click on a photo to see a larger version and to run a slideshow. Is it possible to create this functionality for pictures placed on a blank page? Or is this functionality only available on a photo album page?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Doug

Doug:
I believe you can do so. Create the photo page, click on the thumbnail layout box and copy it. Go to the blank page and paste. You'll have to lengthen the page using the Inspector/Page/Layout pane so the entire thumbnail layout box is visible in the body. Then go back and delete the photo page.
This test slideshow page was copied from another site in iWeb and pasted on a blank page: PhotoCopy. It seems to work just like the Photo page.

Best program to create slideshow for inserting into DVD Studio Pro project?

I will be creating my final DVD in DVD Studio Pro soon and want to add an appealing slideshow as well. Before wasting my time, yet again, can somebody suggest the best program to use in order to bring it into DVD Studio Pro please?
Thank you.

Be aware that a there is a difference between a video that consists of a slideshow, and what DVDs consider a slideshow.
If you want a DVD slideshow, then I suggest taking a look at one of the Lord of the Rings Extended Release DVDs. On the two extra discs with each movie there are plenty of DVD slideshows. With a DVD slideshow you can go forward or back through the slideshow. You can stay on any slide as long as you like. A slide can contain audio. Audio cannot carry over from one slide to another. There is no transitions from one slide to another.
What I suspect is that you want a video that acts like a slideshow. In that case, do not use the slideshows in DVD SP at all. Create your video outside of DVD SP, then just place it in a Track and treat it as any other video.
That being said, do you want a lot of control over how the video slideshow is created, or do you want a program that will do most of the work for you at the expense of not having absolute control over how things are put together? If you want full control then create your video slideshow in FCP/Motion. If you want a program that will do a lot of the work for you, then you should look into iPhoto. It can create some pretty spectacular slideshows very easily, but you will not have the full control you have with FCP.

Rain + Accessory is not made for iPhone = Need advice!

Just got caught in a really heavy rain shower and now my iPhone is intermittently showing the Accessory is not made for iPhone message. But I don't have anything plugged into it!
I've turned it off, taken the cover off and placed it somewhere dry (it didn't actually get wet at all, just a bit damp).
Any experiences of similar things out there & suggestions?

I had the EXACT same thing happen to me. It's so annoying and I don't know what to do! I hear there is a way to fix it, but your phone needs to be jailbroken.. which mine is not. My bottom water sensor is totally red, so I know taking it to the apple store isn't going to do anything for me. If your sensors aren't red or pink... you should take it in!

Purchasing Rig for CS4 Need advice for GPU and RAM

I am a purchaser that has been assigned the task of buying a new machine to run Premier Pro (CS4 suite was purchased).
I will be buying a HP xw9400 but require a graphics card. What line of cards will Preimer take advantage of?
Does Premier need a great graphics card?
Will 4gb of ram be enough?

I hear you loud and clear! Anyone eager to snap up those old Pinnacle cards rusting away in my basement?
This is not benchmarked but a review of an HP xw6600 by Videomaker Magazine claims "and we could render a clip for YouTube (as H.264) in about double real time." Without the CX but with a pair of Xeon E5450's. Whereas the CX promises real time rendering.
I work with HDV and I think I will possibly look at CS4 with a $400 nVidia Quadro FX and native (CS4) video acceleration. And live with whatever performance I get.
CS3 encoding to MPEG2-DVD with four cores versus 8 cores on my system with my new PPBM3 benchmark is disappointing.

Need advice for deploy adf web fusion application created in Jdev11gTp4

hello,
need advice for deploy adf web fusion application created in Jdev11gTp4
and it will be nice if you have helper sites
thanks

Is there something specific in TP4 that you want to use TP4 - as John suggests, it might be an idea to use the full production release (11g). As for resources for information you can check out
[Jdev Home|http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev] this page contains links to the developers guides and various how tos etc etc. The follownig page is also useful and is focused more to those who are less familiar with Java

Hope this helps and maybe if you can be more specific we can better guide you.

I need your help with a decision to use iPhoto. I have been a PC user since the mid 1980’s and more recently have used ACDSee to manage my photo images and Photoshop to edit them. I have used ProShow Gold to create slideshows. I am comfortable with my own folder and file naming conventions. I currently have over 23,000 images of which around 60% are scans going back 75 years. Since I keep a copy of the originals, the storage requirements for over 46,000 images is huge. 180GB plus.
I now have a Macbook Pro and will add an iMac when the new models arrive. For my photos, I want to stay with Photoshop which also gives me the Bridge. The only obvious reason to use iPhoto is to take advantage of Faces and the link to iMovie to make slideshows. What am I missing and is using iPhoto worth the effort?
If I choose to use iPhoto, I am not certain whether I need to load the originals and the edited versions. I suspect that just the latter is sufficient. If I set PhotoShop as my external editor, I presume that iPhoto will keep track of all changes moving forward. However, over 23,000 images in iPhoto makes me twitchy and they are appear hidden within iPhoto. In the past, I have experienced syncing problems with, and database errors in, large databases. If I break up the images into a number of projects, I loose the value of Faces reaching back over time.
Some guidance and insight would be appreciated. I have a number of Faces questions which I will save for later.

Bridge and Photoshop is a common file-based management system. (Not sure why you'd have used ACDSEE as well as Bridge.) In any event, it's on the way out. You won't be using it in 5 years time.
Up to this the lack of processing power on your computer left no choice but to organise this way. But file based organisation is as sensible as organising a Shoe Warehouse based on the colour of the boxes. It's also ultimately data-destructive.
Modern systems are Database driven. Files are managed, Images imported, virtual versions, lossless processing and unlimited editing are the way forward.
For a Photographer Photoshop is overkill. It's an enormously powerful app, a staple of the Graphic Designers' trade. A Photographer uses maybe 15% to 20% of its capability.
Apps like iPhoto, Lightroom, Aperture are the way forward - for photographers. There's the 20% of Photoshop that shooters actually use, coupled with management and lossless processing. Pop over to the Aperture or Lightroom forums (on the Adobe site) and one comment shows up over and over again... "Since I started using Aperture/ Lightroom I hardly ever use Photoshop any more..." and if there is a job that these apps can do, then the (much) cheaper Elements will do it.
The change is not easy though, especially if you have a long-standing and well thought out filing system of your own. The first thing I would strongly advise is that you experiment before making any decisions. So I would create a Library, import 300 or 400 shots and play. You might as well do this in iPhoto to begin with - though if you’re a serious hobbyist or a Pro then you'll find yourself looking further afield pretty soon. iPhoto is good for the family snapper, taking shots at birthdays and sharing them with friends and family.
Next: If you're going to successfully use these apps you need to make a leap: Your files are not your Photos.
The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
When you process an image in iPhoto the file is never touched, instead your decisions are recorded in the database. When you view the image then the Master is presented with these decisions applied to it. That's why it's lossless. You can also have multiple versions and waste no disk space because they are all just listings in the database.
These apps replace the Finder (File Browser) for managing your Photos. They become the Go-To app for anything to do with your photos. They replace Bridge too as they become a front-end for Photoshop.
So, want to use a photo for something - Export it. Choose the format, size and quality you want and there it is. If you're emailing, uploading to websites then these apps have a "good enough for most things" version called the Preview - this will be missing some metadata.
So it's a big change from a file-based to Photo-based management, from editing files to processing Photos and it's worth thinking it through before you decide.

Scanning Pictures for HD Project I Need Advice

I am about to *Scan Pictures for HD Project* I Need Advice. The scanner is a HP Scanjet G4050 my questions are:
1: At what resolution do I scan these pictures _+(300 or highest dpi available)+_
2: What color choice is necessary *(RGB vs CMYK)*
3: Can you please suggest points for creating a backdrop for the pictures (various sizes) in the Timeline
Thanks in advance

Scan the picture like you normally would. If the vertical resolution is 1080, you are fine. Don't worry about the 1280 width as black will be in that area not taken up with the photo. That part won't matter if it isn't 1280 if it is a vertical picture. If you don't have at least 1080 high, you might want to re-scan at a higher resolution. If you have it say, 2000 pixels high really no big deal except you don't need it that high and all that extra size slows down your system. If you want it at a lower resolution after you scan go into Photoshop->Image->Image size. Be sure and check "Constrain Proportions" before you change the dimensions in the top box for the height (where you are best using the units as pixels) That way the picture will stay in proportion. Don't use this second method to 'add' more pixels as the quality suffers when you go up this way. Rescan if you want MORE pixels.
All the above is talking about vertical pictures. If you have a really wide photo that is not very tall, use the same principle but keep the width constant. For example let's say you have a 2x6 inch photo. Make sure the width is at least 1280 pixels. Don't worry that the height will be less than 1080 because black will take up that space.
If you are going to do any zoom in and/or panning across a picture, you'll need to make sure it has more than the minimum pixels. For me a little goes a long way, so I zoom in slowly maybe 10-15%.

Need advice for installing flex application in touch screen Kiosks

Hello,
We have a requirement in one of our project to create touch screen interfaces and I am intending to user Adobe Flex for the development and run them in Adobe Air because, definitely it saves development time and great look and feel.
However, I need advice on how to connect the application to a touch screen events like we do on Keyborad and mouse events like, click() or onFocus etc.
Please advice.
Best Regards,
Jai Kishan Shah

Bar Code Scanners are no different than keyboards in my experience. It just sends the text to whatever application is open. Integrating it with Flex requires no effort. You just have to be sure that Flex is the current application and the field you want to put the data in is given focus.
In a point of sale application with very specific use case and limited interface, it is easy to force the app to give focus to the input field that needs to accept your input.
Credit card swipers work the same way.
I don't know about a weighing scale, but I bet it is very similar. If not, you may want to use Java for scale integration and then use Merapi to integrate with the Java applet.

Need advice about certification: do J2SE 1.4 or wait for 1.5 to go out?

I need advice here! I am studing for Java Programmer certification (310-035) and I know now that the certification does not have any expiration date, instead it's version based. So, if I get now a J2SE 1.4 certification, soon it will be outdated... I guess!
Does anyone know or have any ideia of WHEN java 1.5 sdk will be avaliable, and anyone can tell me how long it will take for a new 1.5 programmer certification be avaliable for general public?

Do both. 1.5 is far enough away that you do not want to wait for it.
And besides, 1.5 has enough new stuff in it that you'll want to recertify anyway.

Do I need to create billing for FD (free delivery) sales order

Hi
I have a question. I created first a sales order (FD) in our sap system. but I don't know whether I need to create billing for the FD order. when I try to create billing for this FD order, SAP cannot to process it.
I also research configuration. in VOV8, SAP not set billing function.
thanks
Henry

Hi henry
If you have created Free of charge delivery (FD) sales order then the item category will be KLN only.After PGI then stock level will reduce and the effect of the stock is that you are issuing stock to customer at free of charge.And as you have assigned cost center then the data will flow to the controlling area and the Financial document after PGI.
Secondly if you assign TANN as a item category and do delivery and then PGI then if the reference document is different then it will have affect as the KMN and TANN item categories doesn't have same features

Could you clarify some things? You are saying you are trying to transform the xml output of a webservice with an xsd, but an xsd is a schema that describes the allowed format of a xml file. If you want to transform xml from one format to an other (from one xsd to an other) you have to use a xsl file. You can make and test this with JDeveloper. Are you calling the webservice from esb or bpel?

Andre
