Anyone used colors in VC?

Is it possible to change colors for graphs?
Thanks,
Chuck

Hi Ignacio,
Thanks for your reply. So, I have to create a portal theme to change the colors? I was hoping I could specfiy what each series color as you can be done BI Web Application Designer.
Thanks again,

Anyone using a 4K monitor with FCP X?

Is anyone using FCP X on a 4K monitor? I'm thinking about getting a Dell 4K monitor as my main monitor but I'm a little worried the user interface support on 4K is weak. I think everything is going to look super tiny.
Has anyone already experienced this?
Thanks!

So I have my new Mac Pro set up. 8-Core, 32 gigs RAM, Dual 700 GPUs, 512 gig internal Flash drive.
I purchased the 27" Thunderbolt display as my main Final Cut Pro X screen and I have the Dell UP2414q 4K monitor plugged in as the Viewer display.
I have the Dell set to "Best for Display" and it works fine. I have some 4480 x 1920 RED footage and I have the FCP X Viewers on the Dell. The footage is set to 100% and it bleeds a little off the sides, as it should since the monitor is 3820 wide. It's at its native resolution.
The user interface elements of the second monitor are at normal size - the menu bar, the FCP X view options. Buying a 4K monitor and using Best for Display gives you the desktop the size of a typical 1080 monitor, but it all looks like a Retina display. It's very crisp.
So if you want a second monitor to hold a ton of Adobe palettes, and have a very large desktop, I'd recommend getting a Thunderbolt display, beause this display behaves like a 1080 monitor in that regard. If you want a 4K monitor specifically for color grading 4K footage at the native size so you can see all the artifacts and things you wouldn't see with the footage at 50%, this Dell monitor is fine and it's $890 on Amazon. It's not a professional color grader's monitor, obviously, but it does well for me.
I took some 4480 x 1920 RED footage that had a sky that was gray (the famous Mercedes in the mountains footage). I used the color picker color correction in FCP X and was able to select that sky very easily. I can see why the fat 4K footage is so great in regards to color grading. Because you don't have the massive color gradiation and artifacts you get in the more compressed media, when you use the color picker, it selects a very large, clean, section of the sky. I was able to quickly make the sky more saturated and blue and play it in real time (Better Performance) it's it's perfectly clean with no halos around the tree branches as they move into the foreground of the sky. Very nice!
Nice feature in FCP X is all the effects, transitions, etc., have a "4K-ready content only" button at the top so it only presents you with effects and transitions that work with 4K footage.
It took a lot of time calibrating this Dell monitor. It has the Adobe RGC color space built in but when I set it to that and set the OS X Display color option to Adobe RGB, it all had a very slight purple/pink huge. Very slight. Whites were not pure white like they are on the Thunderbolt and my blue sky had a tinge of pink to it.
I calibrated it with advanced options in the OS X Display preferences. I then connected my Samsung HD LED TV into the HDMI port of the Mac Pro and set it as my A/V display in FCP X. I was able to do the custom color setting on the Dell monitor itself and lower the saturation and RGB values. It took about 15 minutes to get it looking right. Now, I don't see the very slight purple/pink tink. My blue sky looks blue, etc., and it looks exactly how it will look on DVD and Blu-ray and projectors at film festivals.
The Samsung LED TV was a breeze to use. As soon as I plugged it into the HDMI port of the Mac Pro, the displays changed and OS X went to 1920 x 1080 60hz. The color was set to an HD color preset (I forget the number and I disconnected it). Arranging the multiple monitors is as you'd expect, just works.
BTW, I have 2 10 TB 5Big Lacie Thunderbolt 2 hard drives. They are about $1K each at 10 TBs. I have one for my footage and one as a backup with Time Machine. No formatting necessary - just plug them in and go. I plugged in the first one, told OS X no for Time Machine. Plugged in the second one, told Time Machine yes. Renamed the second drive "Backup". I turned off hard drive sleep becuase it's annoying. You hear it spin up, spin down, spin up, etc. as you work.
I used the AJA benchmark and this is what I got with 16 gig test file, 4K video simulation:
Write 740.3 MB/s
Read: 849.1 MB/s
Fast!
FCP X loads in 4 seconds on this system off the internal Flash drive.
Cheers!

Quality suffering, (looking pixely), after using Color Corrector in FCE?

I need some help and I'm sure someone here has the answer I'm looking for! I am editing a short film with FCE4. I have converted my original footage, (shot with an EOS 550D at 720p), using MPEG Streamclip to Apple Intermediate Codec for importation and editing. On a few clips, I have had to do some color correcting, (using the "Color Corrector" filter). Unfortunately, these clips lose their sharpness afterwards and look somewhat "pixely". What am I doing wrong?
The above screen shot is after Color Corrector, (although it is diffucult to see my problem in this small pic). The edges become rough and unsharp, which is most evident in the book on the left.
The following pic is WITHOUT Color Corrector.
What can I do to resolve this????

Thank you everyone for trying to help!
MtD: BINGO! I had the Render Settings at 50%, which I feel is sort of a beginner's mistake. However, I have to say, I have used color corrector before and not experienced this problem. I wonder if the settings somehow changed themselves with some update? Curious. Anyways, I changed it, re-rendered, and now it looks great. Thanks again.
To anyone else with the same problem, go to "Sequence" and then "Settings" to change the Render Settings to 100%
And now I am just curious: why would you ever want to set your Render Settings to LESS than 100%?

How to print black using color ink

I am low on black ink at the moment but have a full color cartridge. I realise what I wish to do is more expensive than usual but right now I need to print quite a few documents in black but dont think I've enough black ink to do the job. I have an HPDeskjet 2050 3 in 1 printer/scanner and I cant find an option to select to use color to make black. If anyone knows how to do that on this printer please let me know otherwise "I got me some 'splainin to do" tomorrow at work.
Thanks

Printer: HP 6330 All-In-One
My color ink cartridge completely ran out of cyan (left only with yellow and magenta) and the black ink cartridge was completely emtpy. In order to print an acceptable black and white doucument, I tried different settings until I found the right combination. The output was a very dark purple. The document took about four times as long to print due to the highest dpi setting, but the quality was very good in a pinch.
Keep in mind that the doucument was printed from Adobe; the source document was from MS Word. So, some settings may not appear in other applications. However, a similar approach may be applied to obtain the best result.
See the collection of screenshots for the printer settings.
Hope this helps.

Often I can only right click or double click in after effects (usually while using Color Finesse)

Hey, I can't seem to find anyone else that is having this issue.
I use Dynamic linking from Premiere to color a project using Color Finesse in After Effects. Whats the timeline is dropped in, I'll drop in the color finesse effect, open up color finesse, color, and hit okay. When I come back to After Effects, it seems like every other time I do this sequence of events, I can't left click anymore. The only way to scrub through is to left click or double click on the player head. I can't click and drag effects (I just double click). I can't load presets or anything. I have to get back into color finesse and then it works normally again. But once I'm back out of color finesse and into after effects.... it's back. This is driving me insane, as it makes everything take twice as long. Also, I might add that this happens on MULTIPLE computers. So I do believe it's something that I'm doing wrong or something and not the computer. However, it could quite possibly be a setting with color finesse or something with color finesse, cause I'm really the only one on these computers that uses color finesse.
Anyway, thanks for any help in advance.

Officejet 6000 using color ink when set to greyscale black and white only

I have two new Officejet 6000's and both run out of color ink even though I have them set to print greyscale black and white only. I almost never use color. The drivers are the latest versions. Connected via ethernet cord. Vista Home Premium 64 bit. Color ink is too expensive to waste it like this. Does anyone have a reason and/or a solution why the color ink is running out when I have it set to black and white only?
Apparently it is an issue with some others too. See this thread on the 6500: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-printing-and-scanning/HP-OfficeJet-6500-will-not-print-using-black-...

I know these posts are old, but.
To force the print to print even though some carts are empty or expired. Turn the printer off. Then hold the feed button while turning the printer on. Keep the feed button pressed for about 4-5 seconds after powering on the printer.

Has anyone used Muse to create a static web page that gets translated into Joomla?

Has anyone used Muse to create a static web page (html and xml) that gets translated into a Joomla template?

Obviously I am out of my league. I am not a programer and I thought this would be something simple, but you guys are talking over my head.
I thought I could create a simple link to the Happy.rdp and it would run...but as mentioned, you can't do that.
What I have is a java script with a bunch of parameters (see below) that creates a pull-down menu. I was hoping I could list the names of the servers, click on the one I want to connect to, and I would get the log-in screen. That is my goal.
I have a "Happy.rdp" icon on my desktop and I click on that and the remote connection starts. I have opened "Happy.rpd" in notepad and it has all the parameters (such as the IP address and stuff) that allow me to connect.
* Menu selection script         *
var NoOffFirstLineMenus=2;   // Number of first level items
var LowBgColor='';   // Background color when mouse is not over
var LowSubBgColor='b0b0b0';   // Background color when mouse is not over on subs
var HighBgColor='';   // Background color when mouse is over
ETC...
// Menu tree
// MenuX=new Array(Text to show, Link, background image (optional), number of sub elements, height, width);
// For rollover images set "Text to show" to: "rollover:Image1.jpg:Image2.jpg"
Menu1=new Array("","http://home.com","",0,20,0);
Menu2=new Array("Servers","","",1,20,115);
      Menu2_1=new Array("Servers","Happy.rdp","",0,20,170);

Anyone Using Nimbus LAF

Is anyone using Nimbus in a production environment? If so, would you say it is production ready or are there still issues with it?
Thanks

My experience with it is very limited, but that being said, it seems fine. Creating customized components, or configuring specific properties for standard components, can be painful (Nimbus doesn't follow the conventions used by the BasicLookAndFeel-derived looks, which makes customization considerably more difficult), but is usually doable one way or another. If you allow runtime switching of LAF's, Nimbus has a bad habit of not cleaning up after itself, and leaving things like Colors installed when they shouldn't be. But these points may not be issues in your case.

Is anyone using testing seeing compiler lock-ups? [SOLVED]

As the title says, is anyone using testing seeing compiler lock-ups? I've been seeing them for about two or three days. Sometimes the system will hang for a few seconds at "Starting make" with 100% CPU usage, then will continue normally. Other times it will stop in the middle of compiling and CPU usage will drop to 0. Also, I've been seeing small hang ups with patches. Maybe four or five seconds when simple patches are being applied. Bringing MAKEFLAGS down to the default 2 from 3 seems to help a tiny bit.

fakeroot would put it in the right time frame. I linked to your bug report Anarconda as it seems like the same problem. As always if anyone has anything to add, please do:

Is anyone using the Calendar Server to send external invites?

Is anyone using the Calendar Server to send external invites?
We have a Mountain Lion server running DNS, Open Directory, File Sharing and VPN. We have recently stood up the Calendar server and it is working very well. Internal invites work fine and are instantaneous to computer, iPhone, iPad. We have the ports working so that calendar items created outside the network work fine as well. Only problem is we cannot invite anyone with an external e-mail address. Each time we do the Calendar Error Log populates with:
2013-04-15 13:11:03-0500 [-] [mailgateway] 2013-04-15 13:11:03-0500 [Uninitialized] SMTP Client retrying server. Retry: 5

We have set up an internal e-mail address. I have confined that it works fine. I have tried more than one internal account. I have also verified the settings through the command line by typing "sudo serveradmin settings calendar" The iMIP sending and receiving information is correct. There is no authentication type setting listed in the command line output even though there's a place to choose it in the Enable invitations by email - Edit button on the third screen. No matter what I choose it goes back to "login" and still doesn't work.
The command line settings mention a port number 62310 as being the MailGatewayPort but opening that port on the network's firewall makes no difference. As I said external set up works fine from Mac/iPhone/iPad and push notification works fine as well.
Is anyone using this functionality?

I'm sorry. I forgot to add Mail to the list of services. I AM using mail on that server. Here's the iMIP portion of my settings output from Terminal.
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Server = "boardwalkserver.kuhnwitt.com"
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:UseSSL = yes
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Username = "calendarserver"
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Address = "[email protected]"
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Password = "password"
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Port = 465
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Enabled = yes
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:MailGatewayPort = 62310
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Server = "boardwalkserver.kuhnwitt.com"
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:UseSSL = yes
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Username = "calendarserver"
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:PollingSeconds = 30
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Type = "imap"
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Password = "password"
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Port = 993
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:AddressPatterns:_array_index:0 = "mailto:.*"
calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:MailGatewayServer = "localhost"
So Add mail to the services being used. Since Calendar is running on the mail server one would assume that it could communicate with it fairly easily.

Has anyone used JAAS with WebLogic?

Has anyone used JAAS with Weblogic? I was looking at their example, and I have a bunch of questions about it. Here goes:
Basically the problem is this: the plug-in LoginModule model of JAAS used in WebLogic (with EJB Servers) seems to allow clients to falsely authenticate.
Let me give you a little background on what brought me to this. You can find the WebLogic JAAS example (to which I refer below) in the pdf: http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61/pdf/security.pdf . (I believe you want pages 64-74) WebLogic, I believe goes about this all wrong. They allow the client to use their own LoginModules, as well as CallBackHandlers. This is dangerous, as it allows them to get a reference (in the module) to the LoginContext's Subject and authenticate themselves (i.e. associate a Principal with the subject). As we know from JAAS, the way AccessController checks permissions is by looking at the Principal in the Subject and seeing if that Principal is granted the permission in the "policy" file (or by checking with the Policy class). What it does NOT do, is see if that Subject
has the right to hold that Principal. Rather, it assumes the Subject is authenticated.
So a user who is allowed to use their own Module (as WebLogic's example shows) could do something like:
//THEIR LOGIN MODULE (SOME CODE CUT-OUT FOR BREVITY)
public class BasicModule implements LoginModule
private NameCallback strName;
private PasswordCallback strPass;
private CallbackHandler myCB;
private Subject subj;
         //INITIALIZE THIS MODULE
           public void initialize(Subject subject, CallbackHandler callbackHandler, Map sharedState, Map options)
                  try
                       //SET SUBJECT
                         subj = subject; //NOTE: THIS GIVES YOU REFERENCE
TO LOGIN CONTEXT'S SUBJECT
                                                 // AND ALLOWS YOU TO PASS
IT BACK TO THE LOGIN CONTEXT
                       //SET CALLBACKHANDLERS
                         strName = new NameCallback("Your Name: ");
                         strPass = new PasswordCallback("Password:", false);
                         Callback[] cb = { strName, strPass };
                       //HANDLE THE CALLBACKS
                         callbackHandler.handle(cb);
                  } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e); }
     //LOG THE USER IN
       public boolean login() throws LoginException
          //TEST TO SEE IF SUBJECT HOLDS ANYTHING YET
          System.out.println( "PRIOR TO AUTHENTICATION, SUBJECT HOLDS: " +
subj.getPrincipals().size() + " Principals");
          //SUBJECT AUTHENTICATED - BECAUSE SUBJECT NOW HOLDS THE PRINCIPAL
           MyPrincipal m = new MyPrincipal("Admin");
           subj.getPrincipals().add(m);
           return true;
         public boolean commit() throws LoginException
               return true;
    }(Sorry for all that code)
I tested the above code, and it fully associates the Subject (and its principal) with the LoginContext. So my question is, where in the process (and code) can we put the LoginContext and Modules so that a client cannot
do this? With the above example, there is no Security. (a call to: myLoginContext.getSubject().doAs(...) will work)
I think the key here is to understand JAAS's plug-in security model to mean:
(Below are my words)
The point of JAAS is to allow an application to use different ways of authenticating without changing the application's code, but NOT to allow the user to authenticate however they want.
In WebLogic's example, they unfortunately seem to have used the latter understanding, i.e. "allow the user to authenticate however they want."
That, as I think I've shown, is not security. So how do we solve this? We need to put JAAS on the server side (with no direct JAAS client-side), and that includes the LoginModules as well as LoginContext. So for an EJB Server this means that the same internal permission
checking code can be used regardless of whether a client connects through
RMI/RMI-IIOP/JEREMIE (etc). It does NOT mean that the client gets to choose
how they authenticate (except by choosing YOUR set ways).
Before we even deal with a serialized subject, we need to see how JAAS can
even be used on the back-end of an RMI (RMI-IIOP/JEREMIE) application.
I think what needs to be done, is the client needs to have the stubs for our
LoginModule, LoginContext, CallBackHandler, CallBacks. Then they can put
their info into those, and everything is handled server-side. So they may
not even need to send a Subject across anyways (but they may want to as
well).
Please let me know if anyone sees this problem too, or if I am just completely
off track with this one. I think figuring out how to do JAAS as though
everything were local, and then putting RMI (or whatever) on top is the
first thing to tackle.

Anyone using an HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw printer with SL?

I'm thinking of getting this printer. Can anyone using this with Snow Leopard please let me know how well it works? Any issues? Nice printer? I will be replacing a Samsung CLP-315 which prints very nicely, but doesn't work well after updating from Tiger to SL.
Thanks

It works just fine. I picked up a 1525 yesterday, configured it using Lion, and I just now configured my wife's SL laptop to work with it. No problems. Just don't install the HP disk and let OS-X grab drivers for it and you should be fine.
It's a little tricky configuring with Lion for wireless printing, but it's doable. See my post at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3449512 for a checklist.

Does anyone use a LaCie external hard drive with their Mac using imovie '09? I have some questions.

Does anyone use a LaCie external hard drive with their Mac using imovie '09? I have some questions.

Are you actually having a problem with the new Lacie drive, or are you just asking is the Lacie drive somehow different from your old G-Drive?
From a connection standpoint, most Lacie desktop drives have both USB and FireWire connections, just like the G-Drives do. You would connect and use it the same as a G-Drive.
Regarding capturing to the external HD, if you are using a camcorder that has FireWire (iLink) connection, it is not advisable to have an external FireWire HD connected to your Mac at the same time as your camcorder; there are often communication conflicts between the camcorder and the hard drive if they are connected at the same time. The conflicts usually appear as either dropped frames or a complete freeze. This is more common with Canon miniDV camcorders but I have also seen this behavior with Sony miniDV camcorders. (The problem is the camcorder's FW implementation, not the hard drive.) The workaround is to capture to your Mac's internal HD and later copy the captured video to your external HD.

Has anyone used reMIDI as a plug-in for Garageband ('08)? The program allows MIDI instruments to be strummed or arpegiated. I have a trial version, but can't get it to work in Garageband. Wonder how to set it up.
Thanks, Doctor Mark

Port Forwarding.....or Port Mapping....as Apple calls it is a difficult and complex configuration method for most users. Because there are so many variables involved in this type of setup, it is not possible to provide a step by step guide that will work for everyone with all devices.
It is possible that a setup guide exists for the the WD drive and AirPort Extreme, but you will have to go looking for it on the Internet. Even if you find one, it may not be tailored to your specific situation or needs.
Sometimes, you can do everything right....at least according to someone's article or "how to" guide, and things still will not work correctly.
In situations like this, when you really don't know what to do, you need to enlist the aid of an IT pro, who will know what to do based on your particular products and unique circumstances. Sometimes....they won't be able to get things working either due to particular circumstances.
But, before you do this, I would strongly recommend that you use a Static IP address for your Internet connection with your ISP. If you do not have this now, contact them to ask them if they offer this type of connection. Expect to pay more for this type of service, of course.
