Anyone have experience with SmartCurve, especially in PSE3?

In a discussion captioned PSE 4.0 vs 5.0 (current last message 43, Oct 3, 2006)there is the exchange below. I decided to start a new thread because the old one had gone elsewhere.
Two questions: Does anyone have experience with SmartCurve? And does it care about version? I have PSE3. However, the software does not specify but was updated 9/11/06 and thus is for PSE4 at least.

Dean, could you please point me to those "Curves" Plug-ins that work with PSE 4 (and that will hopefully also work with PSE V5)?
Thanks a lot in advance

Robert,

Jack,
You assumed correctly. Grant's Curve tool can only access the composite RGB channel. His tool does have the advantage of using an adjustment layer mask...so you can mask out parts you don't want adjusted by the curve. The advantage of using a mask vs a duplicate layer and eraser is that with a mask you never destroy pixils...just hide them...so if you make a mistake it can save a lot of time and frustration. On the negative side, you won't be able to reopen the curves adjustment layer once okayed...but you can still edit the mask.
BTW, Grant's tool sets includes several tools so it's a worthwhile download. However, if you have Hidden Elements installed, I don't know if you'd get anything extra/different. BTW, there's a freeware Hidden Elements set on the Adobe Exchange which might also be worth looking at. I'm not sure what all is packed in that set...and I'm not sure where they've got it stashed...perhaps Actions or maybe Plugins.

    Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. I select the text tool and the text layer I want to edit, hover over text and each time I attempto to edit a new layer is created. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

    Be sure you go to Adobe's Web Site and make sure there are no Updates for CS6
    http://www.adobe.com
    Remember if you have trouble with a software issue it is the software and not caused by the Mac you are using
    Many users simply don't remember when you upgrade software you normally have to go to 3rd party web sites and update software as well.

  • Does anyone have experience with unzipping a password-encrypted ZipFile??

    Does anyone have experience with unzipping a password-encrypted ZipFile??
    My Zip Class works fine with every unencrypted file, but when I try to open an encrypted one, i get an error Message ("Encrypted ZIP entry not supported")
    Is ist impossible to unzip encrypted ZIPs???

    I've searched around a little bit and THIS IS THE SOLUTION!
    There is a (beta)version of winzip8 that uses a cli (command line interface)
    So, all you have to do is to implement a Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...) in your java program to call winzip8 and pass the zipfile path and the password.
    Here's the URL: http://www.winzip.com/wzcline.htm

  • Does anyone have experience with Virgin or Boost Mobile?

    I have been with verizon for a long time...I have 4 lines with this service. I have since bought several phones off of craigslist or ebay just so I wouldn't have to be subjected to the tier plan. We use so much data it's crazy. I want the new Samsung Galaxy S4 so bad!!! Grrr! I've even thought about switching to Virgin Mobile or Boost Mobile. We pay so much for our phones now and I know of one guy who has boost mobile and loves it. Does anyone have experience with these providers?

    BC's CRM is part of the package, Salesforce is of course more dedicated. That pretty much sum's up these sorts of use cases.

  • Does anyone have experience with using a Canon Vixia HF M52 Camcorder with Final Cut Express?

    I'm looking to purchase a new camcorder that is compatible with my Mac OS X (10.6.8) that will work well with Final Cut Express 4.0.1  I have downloaded the camcorder support info from Final Cut Express that list many capital camcorders.  I've used Sony tape based camcorders in the past.  I'm looking for High Definition.  I can stick with a tape based camcorder, but thought I would look at the Canon Vixia HF M52 as an alternative, which is listed as compatible.  I would like to download directly from the camera to FCE.  I film in the wilderness, like having an optical zoom of 20 or greater (yes, I use a small tripod). Does anyone have experience with the Canon Vixia?  And if not, but you really like another camcorder that you can recommend, what is it?

    The Vixia HF M52 is an AVCHD camcorder and should work perfectly fine with Final Cut Express 4 (4.0.1).
    The published "camcorder support list" has never been up to date and I would not take it to be a definitive list of compatible camcorders.
    One note, however, the Vixia HF M52 supports a number of different shooting modes.  I suggest sticking with the AVCHD 1920 x 1080i / 60 fps mode for use with FCE.   FCE does not support progressive modes except in 720p25/30 (which the M52 does not seem to shoot anyway); nor does FCE support any 24 fps modes.

  • Does anyone have experience with migrating applications from iAS6.0 SP2 to SP3? Did it go smoothly or are there problems to be expected?

     

    Hi,
    I haven't. But, there are lots of changes from each service packs,
    henceforth you may have to stick to what the documentation says to avoid
    the errors that shoots up. Again, the errors depends upon how you have
    coded your application. Please let me know if you have encountered any
    errors and the messages for me to help you.

  • Does anyone have experience with error 504 when trying to download a podcast?

    Does anyone have experience with error 504 when trying to download a podcast?  I've been a subscriber for two years without issue and in the last two days can't download this particular podcast (everything else is working fine - music, other podcasts, etc)

    The album was released on the 27th March this year, so the error occurred almost immediately after it was supposedly available.
    In the manage pre-orders section of my account, it says AVAILABLE but does not give me any choice over whether to download it, just to cancel it. Is this normal?
    iTunes customer services reset my password and tried to download the album themselves, but they also got the 5002 error, so it's been passed off to the engineers. How long does that usually take?
    If anyone has any other suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

  • Does anyone have experience with Iogear GBU 421? My MacPro has no in-built Bluetooth.

    Does anyone have experience with Iogear GBU 421? My MacPro has no in-built Bluetooth.

    My 2010 Mac Pro does have built in bluetooth but I use the IOGear GBU421 instead.  That's because the built in bluetooth on the mac pro suck$ if you are more than about 3 feet from the machine.
    See the descussion: Poor Bluetooth reception and jerky mouse
    It works but you need to get used to its "quirks".  If you sleep your machine like I do the dongle is off because there is no USB power when sleeping for the dongle.  So you need some wired USB device to wake the machine.  In my case I use my wired keyboard.
    When waking up it doesn't always become paired immediately (maybe 30% of the time).  Then you need to flip the mouse switch to get it active.  Interesting enough I don't have that problem with the trackpad.
    Most of the time, in the rear occasions I reboot my machine, the mouse is ready to go.
    Once you get used to the "quirks" it's no big deal.  Hey, for about $9 what do you want?
    By the way I also always keep a wired mouse attached as a backup.

  • Anyone have experience with LV 2011 SP1?

    Just asking whether anyone has experience with the latest LabVIEW  2011 Service Pack 1? 
    I haven't had any problems with 2011 (I had big problems with 2010 and building big applications but 2011 fixed that).  One figures that a service pack with no new features should be a good version to stick with for a while so I'm keen to update but.....  there seems to be a patch f1 already addressing some major issues that weren't in the 2011 version!  I found one posting on 2011 SP1 where someone has reported problems with it but it ended up being a discussion on OOP so it wasn't clear if the LabVIEW SP1 version was the problem.  Maybe not many people have moved to it yet.
    Regarding the patch f1 its not clear if someone installing the runtime engine only has to install this patch as well if the developer has used it to build an app.  NI is never very clear about this.
    I also had an issue installing 2011 SP1 which I hadn't seen before.  Installation stopped early on with Error 1303 - something to do with not being able to access the Program Files directory for some Error directory.  I'm logged in with Administrator rights and as mentioned haven't had any installation problems with LV for some time.  I got round it by turning off the Windows Firewall and unplugging the network cable.  I had to activate products after launching them the first time.  This made me start to wonder if this wasn't a good version tol go with and stick to the basic 2011.
    Any feedback appreciated.

    Helpful feedback.  Ben's comment on the problem with LVOOP probably explains an issue I reported in this posting  when I updated a program to 2011 where I used the Harmonic Cursor XControl.   The problem was somewhere in the LVOOP code but I didn't persist with it as I don't have the experience in that area.
    crossrulz comments were very helpful. 
    I'm still confused regarding patches that come out and compatibility between development environment and the run-time engine, as downloaded off NI's website.  It makes sense that if you build an installer for a client from the development environment that it should contain a compatible run-time engine. But for various reasons I prefer that a user of my programs gets the run-time engine off NI's website.
    I just noticed that the filename for the latest 2011 SP1 runtime engine includes "f1" in the zip file name so thats pretty clear and hopefully no more patches.
    I recall with 2010 when the early patches came out, that the text with the page for the run-time engine download actually noted that the run-time engine included the patches.  That gave some confidence.
    I see from the current 2010 SP1 run-time engine page that it now has f5 in the zip file name.  I remember applying patches f1 and f2 to the development environment.  I see that there is a patch f4 for development environment but not a patch f5.  Configuration control just seems a bit messy.

  • Does anyone have experience with warranty service on "white box" lens purchases?

    I am considering the purchase of a 24-105 L series lens.  Amazon lists that lens in the $800+ price range for what some call a "white box" version that is apparently taken from a full frame camera kit and sold separately.  I am curious to know if anyone has had any experience with Canon warranty service on such purchases. 
    I can buy the lens used in my local market for under $700.  If the additional amount I would pay provides a warranty, I may consider buying the lens new in a white box to have the warranty protection in the event any adjustments are needed to the lens during the warranty period.  Some posts I have read on the internet give the impression that auto-focus adjustments are sometimes needed and the 60D I own does not have AF micro-adjustment capability so my only recourse for adjustments would be to have the lens serviced.
    Thanks.

    I would call Canon to get a definitive answer.
    However, If you are in the U.S., you need to make sure that the lens has has a U.S. warranty card. As long as the lens has the warranty card, I think Canon should accept it for service.
    As a kit lens, it's packaged just like a non-kit lens withouth the printed box, but once you open it, the inside packaging appears to be the same.  Again, I would make sure that that "white-box" lens has not been opened and that all of the registration/warranty cards are for the U.S.---especially if the seller is an Amazon "partner."

  • Does anyone have experience with laptop/computer tracking software?

    Hi all,
    I travel a bit for work, and the last software I bought for this purpose turned out to be completely useless.
    The laptop is "located" usually nowhere near where my computer actually is, in fact I can't remember the last time the location was correct. 
    In the past 11 months my laptop was "located" in South Carolina when I was actually in New Orleans, Colorado when I'm in Wisconsin, and Eau Claire, Wisconsin when I'm in Madison, WI. 
    What use is a computer tracking app if it can't get the computer's location right?
    I've heard about Project Prey, or Prey software--does anyone have any experience/feedback with this tracking software?
    BTW, the tracking software I last used is MacPhoneHome--avoid at all costs. 
    Whenever I tried to contact them to try and figure out the issues I'm having, my correspondence was ignored until the fourth or fifth attempt, and when they did respond to me it took weeks for a response, and the response was always a very unhelpful, unsatisfactory answer. 
    And after all the time and frustration (and expense) of dealing with MPH, the software still doesn't work correctly.
    Take care,
    Brian

    The OS X app is called Find My Mac.  All you need to do to enable it is
              go to System Preferences > iCloud and check Find My Mac.
    You can then track it (and your other registered Apple devices) using iCloud.com.
    I highly recommend it.  It has features to disable itself or wipe itself clean if lost or stolen.

  • Does anyone have experience with Signatec High-Speed Digitizers​?

     I just purchased the PX14400 and I have a few questions for anyone that may have some experience with these.

    Hi ryder_2010,
    Hopefully someone on here has experience with that board and can help out. I wanted to also suggest posting on the Instrument Control board since users on there may have more experience with third-party devices and the related software (such as IVI drivers), assuming LabVIEW or CVI can be used to control this device. Best of luck!
