Anyone know the best "generic" display profile

Hi,
I have a 23" CD and i don't want to spend any money with software or anything else. I do photo editing, etc., but not anything "critical." Is there a preset in OS X that will give you the best, for what it's worth, display settings. Obviously you can pick any one of them and eventually your eyes will adjust, but I want to hear from people who've had experience and success with one preset
thanks
Jeff

FWIW, I have found that the "default" profile used by 10.3 to be too washed out to be of much use, even for the "casual user". The next best (IMMHO) is "Wide Gaumet RGB". In order to use this profile, you will have to deselect the "Show profiles for this display only" checkbox in the Displays/Color preference pane. You might also want to play around with the "Expert Mode" calibration tool (click on "Calibrate" in the Displays/Color preference pane). Run the calibrator in subdued light with your eyes 2-3 feet from the screen. At first it's hard to see what you are supposed to see but you will get the "hang of it" after a few minutes. The first profile you create will most likely be way off but by then you will have a good idea of how the calibration tool works. It takes a few minutes to run through all of the screens but you can end up with a fairly useable profile.
Then download this grayscale chart and look at the extreme white and black swatches. The white should be pure with no trace of color and the black should be "jet". You can also check http://www.photo-tech.co.uk/monitor_cal.html>this chart. there are others with up to 256 shades of gray but you pretty much have to pay for those!
Then, get some primary color chips (from the paint store...and make sure you get primary red blue and green.) You want primary red, blue and green. Now create three swatches of color using hex values 0000FF for blue, FF0000 for red and 00FF00 for green. Compare the tone of the color chips to your computer swatches (just hold them up to the display) to see how close your calibrated values are.
Without buying a calibration tool, that's about as close as you are going to get.

I am moving from Southern California to Maui, Hawaii and I need to figure out the best way to get my 24 inch iMac across the ocean. Does anyone know the best way to do this?

I am moving from Southern California to Maui, Hawaii and I need to figure out the best way to get my 24 inch iMac across the ocean. Does anyone know the best way to do this? I have found GearGrip's LCD harness so that I can do carry-on onto the plane... Or maybe use a Pelican Case to do it as a "checked bag"? Or any other suggestions??! Please help!
Thanks so much!!

I don't recommend you send the iMac in a checked bag. Might get damaged.
Check the airlines website for carry on guidelines.
Or, if you have the original box that the iMac came in, if you have someone who can pick up the iMac for you, send it ahead Fed Ex and insure the package.
Just make sure the display is covered to protect it. A blanket perhaps.
Aloha ...

How do you know the best iMac display size

Only on them fits in the screen window and that makes the font so tiny. The others are too wide or too tall. I usually view at 150 - 200% for vision issues.

You say it's better to do the Media Browser? I'm fairly new to movie, dvd and garage band. How would I go about using the Media Browser instead of straight to iDVD?
Select Your project - go up to Share - Share to Media Browser and as Large (Not HD)
In iDVD select a nice theme - click on Media button - click on Movie - Select Your movie.
NOW - Save as a DiskImage - and test this before burning DVDs - if this Plays OK then either burn the Image by using Disk Util tool (and set down burn-speed to x4) - or burn via iDVD (will take more time)
I want to keep as much quality as I can.
Then don't use iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - as they all discard every second line resulting in less quality on the DVD. I use iMovie HD6 or FinalCut any version.
Also...I tried to split my project in iMovie...but couldn't find a way. I wound up just making a copy and then deleting out a handful of scenes from the copy...I still have the original at 4:12hrs. Is there a way in iMovie to split a project?
I would make a copy and cut away a bit from the end - calling this Part 1 and from start of the other copy Part 2.
OR - there are other programs that can squees in more to a DVD e.g. Roxio Toast™ - BUT this has two cons.
• It costs - to me it was well spent mony as it can so much more e.g. back engineer a DVD to an editable form
• Squeesing in more on a DVD - costs in QUALITY - and as You want as much as it can be - then 90 minuts portions encoded with Pro-Quality encoding and full quality interlasced material from a video-editor that delivers this is the way to get 100% of what DVDs can do.
DVD is as standard only SD-Video - HD not possibly. Then You need Blu-Ray. (also Roxio Toast™)

Does anyone know the best software to make a scalene triangle using 3 predefined values?

Does anyone know the best software to make a scalene triangle using 3 predefined values?

kitweb,
It is not too difficult in Illustrator.
Presuming the values are the side lengths, you may turn on the Smart Guides and:
1) Create a circle with its centre at X=Y=0 and with its radius equalling the first side length;
2) Create another circle with its centre at X equalling the second side length and Y = 0, and with its radius equalling the third side length;
3) With the Pen Tool click at the centres of the circles (Smart Guides say centre), then at one of the intersections of the circles (Smart Guides say intersect), then back at the first centre;
4) Delete the circles, and if needed Object>Transform>Rotate/Reflect/Move/whatever for the right orientation/position.
Obviously, you may use any order of the predefined sidelengths from the beginning.

Does anyone know the best way to create a form that you can do a mail merge with?

I have been asked to create a form that can be used to do a mail merge. At first I thought I could create it in indesign and then pdf the file and do form fields right in the pdf, but I'm not sure if you can do a mail merge with data in an excel file and a pdf file containing form fields.
The other option I know I could use is a Word file and excel, but I don't think the functionality is as good as in a pdf (like addition of percentages, or error messages, radio buttons, etc.). And I do need to be able to do a mail merge. Anybody have any suggestions?

There is not built-in feature for this, but it can be done with scripting. The problem is it can be a bit complicated, and it more complicated to decribe in much detail in a forum posting. It involves creating the base form and making the pages templates. You can export from Excel to a tab delimited text file. You can then either programmatically create a template-based FDF that when loaded into Acrobat populates the PDF form, creating as many individual forms as needed, or using JavaScript in Acrobat to read the data file and generate as many individual forms as needed. Both approaches involve a similar amount of programming, but they're quite different.
You might want to look into this product, which apparently is no longer available but may be come back soon: http://www.debenu.com/products/eol/arts-pdf-variform-lite/

Help! Does anyone know the best framework for delivering an enterprise-quality Flex-based reporting system?

Background
We need to build a commercial-quality, Flex-based reporting system for the corporate customers who use our English learning system. Ours is a multi-tenant web-based Saas solution.
he solution must include:
> a slick, professional design, including Flex/Flash UI and charting and graphing
> a full suite of serverside functionality such as report management, scheduling, export and delivery
> strong security in a multi-tenant environment
> can be integrated seamlessly with our existing Flex/.NET application
> data sources are MS SQL Server database and/or OLAP cubes
> scalability/performance to serve tens of thousands of users
> no per-user license fees (we need to own this system)
The initial focus is on "canned" reports with some parameter controls, while future releases will include more freeform report designer/builder capabilities.
Do you know of a good example/approach? Please reply here, or to [email protected]
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
The recommended way is with JCA Connector.
Adaptive RFC is included from NW7.1,
See "Creating an Adaptive RFC2 Sample Application without using Web Dynpro"
in the SAP HELP of NWCE7.1 or NWCE7.2.
Seems to be based in JCo 3.0 and Java5 so it will not work in NW70.
For older Versions like EP 5 there is also a JCo ClientService available.

Anyone know the best resoluton for images in DPS folios?

Do I recall hearing somewhere that they are automatically sized appropriately so as to avoid contributing to unnecessarily large folios?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I believe PDF-compressed folios will resample placed bitmap images to 108 dpi -- sort of a compromise resolution between standard def and high def.
Pass-through overlays will not resample images, however, so those would need to be compressed to whatever degree you feel is appropriate.
Best,
Jim

Does anyone know the best way to go about logging a formal complaint?

I was treated deplorably by a customer service rep a week ago while trying to resolve a billing mistake made by Verizon. I was promised a call from a supervisor. I have yet to get that call. I've been w/ Verizon since 2009 & I think it's time to call it quits. This company has been a nightmare since day 1. I should have bailed years ago. I am not respected or valued. I'm sick of the run around & am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Michelle,
Thanks for the response. Other than you, no one has reached out to me. I was given a partial credit. At this point I'm more concerned w/ the treatment I've received. I have shared this & no one is concerned w/ righting the wrong. I am currently looking into Sprint or T Mobile because they will buy out my contracts.
I appreciate the fact that you took time to contact me. Have a nice day.

What is the best Apple display for a 733 quicksilver?

Hello everyone. Can anyone suggest the best Apple display for a 733 Quicksilver G4? Bigger is better. I think I have the 32MB video card with ADC and VGA connectors. Thanks!

MacBooks Pro are great Macs with a good hardware, so all of them will work for the use you want, but I think that you want the biggest display possible because of your uses. In this case, it has to be a 15-inch non-Retina MacBook Pro, with the settings you want. Note that, after buying the Mac, you can upgrade the HDD and memory without voiding the warranty, so you are free to install as much memory and the HDD size you want after buying it. It's my opinion, but you are free to do whatever you think it's better

Does anyone know the default size for 24 in. imac display?

I inadverently changed the display size on my 24 inch imac. The font in the toolbar at the top of the desktop is larger than I want. Also, when I open windows in different applications, they open larger than the display and have to be downsized in order to see the entire window.
Does anyone know the default size for this display? Or is there a different way to fix my issues?
thanks in advance.

Hi Napamike2: The default setting for the 24" is 1920X1200. If that doesn't get you back to the proper display, maybe you have accidentally activated "Zoom". To check go to System Preferences, Universal Access. Check that Zoom is turned off.

Does anyone know the status of the new CMYK monitor display Apple is developing?

Does anyone know the status of the new CMYK monitor display Apple is developing?

I have the same iMac as you but with a 1 TB hard drive.
Apple replaced the 1 TB hard drive of iMacs manufactured between October 2009 and July 2011 because of problems. When I took my iMac, the Genius gave me the bill (even if the repair was free) and the 1 TB hard drive cost about $100. This was with a 1 TB Seagate hard drive, so the cost for a 500 GB hard drive may be smaller, depending on the brand

Anyone know what a "mgt development" profile on the iphone is

anyone know what a "mgt development" profile on the iphone is

It means that iMovie is expecting to find video frames in a certain clip, within a certain event, in a certain location on your drive, and they are not there.
I would check to see if you have moved any of these clips using the Finder, or have renamed any of these clips.
