Aperture Library and iPhoto library are different sizes for the SAME images

Hi.
I'm a PROUD new Aperture owner (licensee) since last night. YIPPEE!!!
I imported my photos from iPhoto without a hitch. The same number of images, and I can access them all. Now, I know the two apps do different things, but I was expecting parity between the folders or Aperture's folder being heavier. It's MUCH less. Even with my previews. My iPhoto library is about 32GB and the Aperture library is about 9GB.
Is it because iPhoto is doing full size JPG previews of everything? That would add approximately 10GB, I think, but the size disparity is confusing me.
Any ideas what happened? Is all well?

You can choose to store your images IN (eg. copied) the aperture library, or as referenced masters (eg. you keep your own folder structure on a disk, and aperture only keeps the metadata and previews of it in the library). Main downside of referenced masters is that your images aren't backed up in the vault--you need your own backup strategy. Main upsides are that you can easily access your images in the finder, or with other apps, and that you can keep your images on another disk from your library. I have a Macbook Pro as my main computer, but my image library wouldn't fit on the internal drive, so I keep the Aperture library on the internal, and all my raw files on an external. I can access the previews for other purposes (mail, web, slide shows, etc.) when I'm away from my desk.
I have no idea why the iphoto library is so large--don't use iphoto much.

LR2 and PS Eelements8 show different RGB for the same color - Please, HELP

LR2, Elements 8, Color Chart 24 (CC24),
Please help. I may need to reset LR2 to factory default or to something else.
For the following RAW adjustments the tone curve set to Linear, Contrast and Brightness to 0
I have photographed a CC24 in RAW. Opened image in Elements 8 and adjusted Exposure to 243 for the White patch #19
Then with with WB tool clicked on the 50% Gray and then readjusted exposure for the CC24 listed 243 for #19.
Now all Gray patches #19 through #24 as listed in the table or very close R=G=B (243, 200, 160, 122, 85, 52)
The RGB numbers for Red Patch #15 are R=169, G=58, B=63
The CC24 listed RGB for Red patch #15 are R=175, G=54, B=60
Also saved the adjusted image as JPG
Then opened the image in LR2 and adjusted exposure and WB as described above for Elements 8.
The Gray patches #19 through #24 show RGB numbers as listed in the table or very close.
The RGB numbers for the Red patch #15 are R=138, G=84, B=64.
However the CC24 RGB for Red patch #15 are R=175, G=54, B=60
Exported the image as JPG
Then opened the two saved JPG images in Elements. these two images read almost identical RGB numbers for each patch.
How can I fix LR2 RGB reading. Recently I have saved as defaults the tone curve set to Linear, Contrast and Brightness to 0 and probably did it wrong. My be I need to reset LR2 to the factory defaults to restore its correct reading or something else.
Please help.

Q1. Is that means that when LR2 Exported RAW to JPG the correct numbers resulted from conversion?
You should be careful with the term RGB numbers. Such numbers are only useful when you know the working space. For example, sRGB, adobeRGB, prophotoRGB, melissaRGB, etc. The numbers I calculated are simply the reference numbers (find them here: http://www.brucelindbloom.com/index.html?ColorCheckerRGB.html ). I recalculated the values in the display space used in Lightroom from Bruce Lindbloom's values in normal prophotoRGB which is a simple arithmetic excercise. When Lightroom exports a jpeg, you can set the color space in the export panel and it will do the conversion for you meaning that it will translate between its internal colorspace and the desired export color space. In an external program, you will usually be working in sRGB, adobeRGB, or prophotoRGB, which are the three main spaces that Lightroom exports to. As you can see from Bruce's tables in the link above the RGB values for these patches in all these spaces are different.
For example RGB for MacBeth CC24 Red patch (#15) was shown as 203, 0, 0 and x-rite RGB is 174, 54, 60.
They are actually the exact same chart. As I say above the values are meaningless if you don't know the colorspace. The first RGB triplet you quote makes no sense at all. It does not correspond to any colorspace listed for the MacBeth chart. The zeros indicate that the color is far outside of the gamut of the used color space, so the value is basically useless. The second is sort of close to the sRGB value.
Q.2 Would it mean that your shown table should not be applied to (used with) x-rite CC24 but to MacBeth only?
They should be pretty good for both as the chart is supposed to be the same.
Q3. Have you created your posted LR table or it was provided by Adobe?
I created it myself. Since you have a colorchecker, you should look into creating a camera profile using it. This can be done with X-rite's excellent passport utility (free download from their website), or with Adobe's free DNG profile Editor. Simply shoot a chart in the right light conditions and run the raw/dng file through this utility and a profile is created that will allow you to get very good color rendering from your camera if you shoot raw.

Transition between two different sizes of the same image

Im currently working on a project where I have a 92x92 pixel image that needs to tween into a 711x300 pixel image. The images are the same but cropped to these sizes via photoshop, imported into flash, then converted to graphic symbols. I want to have the 92x92 image tween into the 711x300 image.
I say tween, but the two tweens aren't working correctly, so I was wondering if anyone else had any ideas. I can't seem to find a "crop" like function in flash that will let me adjust the large image for when its supposed to be small, then have it tween between the two sizes as i need them to.
I cant seem to figure it out and I need some help. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Kyle.

Right, thats what I have discovered through my troubleshooting. The thing is, the aspect ratios are different for what I need and I cant seem to find how to readjust the aspect ratio to fit the design sceme that's been chosen. I initially did just resize the larger one, but since the ratio stayed panoramic, my designs weren't quite working out.
I need to change the aspect ratio of the larger image withough disrupting how the image looks (squish/stretch). When I would chose my symbol and hit cmd+B till I'd get the speckled selection around the symbol, then apply a shape tween between the two symbols. The smaller symbol would expand to the size i needed as the tween progressed, but would tile the image within the enlarging cell. Then the tween would end, and my larger picture would appear. This isn't gonna work, either.
Still, need some advise.

ITunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video. Any thoughts on why not?

iTunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video.
I'm using 2 PCs, each with video files (.MP4) on their respective hard drives, and also one external drive with other video files on that I move between the two devices.
iTunes on one PC will (sometimes!) let me add video content from the external hard drive, which is clearly iTunes-compatible, because I can then copy it over to my iPod Nano. On the other PC, I couldn't load that same video from the external hard drive. But if I copied that same video on to the PC's internal hard drive first, then iTunes would let me import it. That was yesterday - now iTunes is refusing to load any files from the internal or external hard drive(s).
Any thoughts or suggestions, please?

So I tried copying the files from the external hard drive to a USB drive. I could import the video files from the USB drive!
So then I tried importing the same files on to my PC's internal hard drive again. I could import the video files from the internal hard drive!
So then I tried to import the very same files that failed to load on the very same PC previously. I could now import them!
I still can't import from the external hard drive directly, though.
I really don't think I like the process of importing things into iTunes very much... any suggestions on what's causing any of this behaviour would be very interesting.

How can I match the line thicknesses in different sizes of the same font?

I'm working on a graphic that includes a handwriting font, and I'd like some text to be larger than others. The obvious issue is that when I make the font larger, the lines also get thicker. Has anyone found a good solution for this problem, other than limiting the design options to large font families with lots of weights? I do employee communications design work for a call center, so purchasing a big font set for internal communications isn't an option.
I've tried to "hide" some of the larger text's thickness by adding a white stroke to it, or by hiding the font edges with a mask, and I've also tried artificially "bolding" or adding a stroke to the smaller text. They all result in noticably distorted text, particularly around corners, and the results are particularly horrible when using something with texture, like a chalkboard font. I haven't had any better luck in Illustrator, either.
I'm sure I'm not the only one out there who wants to simulate the look of one person writing in different sizes with the same writing utensil. Beyond writing it myself (my handwriting is ugly), can you think of any solutions I haven't tried?
Thanks in advance!
Paula

Thanks, I'll try the Min/Max and see if that works any better. The final output in this case is pixel based, for use in PowerPoint and in email headers. I often do my text work in Illustrator, but in this case I was trying to simulate writing on a chalkboard, so I started in Photoshop so I could see how it looked against the background as I worked. I actually face this challenge fairly frequently, though.
The team I design for is virtual, with over 700 people spread across the US and up into Canada. For that reason, I like to use the "hand drawn" look on occasion to bring some warmth and personal touch to the communications, to contrast with all the super-polished "high gloss" graphics they look at all day in their work tools. It's a real challenge to find text and artwork that matches well once scaled to fit my documents, especially since most of the vector-based artwork I find online has already been converted to outlines, so it doesn't retain the same stroke thickness when the images are scaled.
If anyone out there knows of an illustrator who doesn't convert their sketch-style graphics or fonts/typography to outlines before putting it up for use, either on Shutterstock or on any free site (since those are the ones I can use) I'd love to hear about it!

If I already have a particular app under one apple Id and I purchase the same app under a different Id for the same device, will it overwrite or replace the previous or will I have two of the same app on the same device??

If I already have a particular app under one apple Id and I purchase the same app under a different Id for the same device, will it overwrite or replace the previous or will I have two of the same app on the same device??
I'm asking because I purchased an app with an id that has been cancelled so I cannot update that particular app. I can purchase the app with my new id but I don't want to do so if its going to erase all the data I have with the previous purchase...

Figured it out. Thanks.

How to manage multiple sizes of the same image?

I recently took up LightRoom for all the good things it does. One of the things I need to do, however, is to create and manage multiple sizes of the same image needed for different purposes. I always found this cumbersome. I totally expected that the LR library would offer a solution for this but I looked and I didn't see anything. Sure you can export and resize in the process but then you're on your own. Am I missing something? Isn't there a better way? What does Adobe have in mind for best practices and how do you handle this?

I can't speak for 99jon, but when I need multiple sizes, I export at the desired sizes, and then make use of the exported photos (upload, e-mail, whatever) and then delete the exports. Thus, there's really no need for me to keep track of the photo at this specific size, knowing that if I ever need it again -- unlikely -- I can regenerate it with the export pre-set, so I put no effort (zero!) into keeping track of photos at different sizes.
The idea of adding it back into the catalog doesn't get me excited, and I would advise against it. I don't need this, and I don't see the benefit of keeping this particular size export for the long-term. As I said, I can always recreate it — but maybe you have such a need to keep these exports long-term and recreating it at a later point in time doesn't meet your needs? Can you explain?
By the way, you can't resize a virtual copy, so that won't work here. The only time you can resize is on export.

Schedule parallel activities on different resources for the same period

Hi,
I am trying to create a PPM where I need to define parallel activities on different resources for the same time period.
For example:
Input prod: P1
Output prod: O1
Now I define a dummy activity A1 to define this consumption i.e. 1 PC of P1 gives 1 PC of O1.
Now I have got 3 resources R1, R2, R3.
I define 3 activities A2, A3, A4 for these resources.
Now I have to arrange activities A2, A3, A4 such that they start simultaneouly after activity A1 and also end simultaneouly.
The Fixed duration for all the resources is 1 week.
My requirement is that out of these resources system should plan for demand considering the resource with minimum capacity
i.e. kind of bottleneck resource.
I am using CTM engine for planning.
I have defined A1 as predecessor for all the 3 activities A2, A3, A4 and after completion all the activities have a dummy successor activity S.
But this setting is not working and PPM is not getting exploded, If I use a normal linear relationship between activities it works fine but my requirement is not getting satisfied.
Can anyone please help me in this case or suggest some alternate method.
Thanks & Regards,
Sanjog Mishrikotkar

Hi,
You cannot use the old solman key as systems are on different server.
I think you have to delete the old Dev system and then generate new solman key.

[JAXB] Several different prefixes for the same namespace

Hi!
I have generated some code from 2 schemas using JAXB. One of them (the main) defines some elements and the other one defines values for those elements. Then, when runring my code, I get an XML document with elements from the main schema an elements from the other one. However, elements from the second schema are qualified with different names. That is:
<party>
<ns3:uid xmlns:ns3="http:/schema1.com/schema1">CN=User1 - RSA/RSA,OU=IAIK,O=TU Graz,C=AT</ns3:uid>
<ns4:role xmlns:ns4="http:/schema1.com/schema1">client</ns4:role>
</party>
As you can see, I get two different prefixes for the same namespace.
Could you be so kind as to tell me if there is a way of getting only one prefix for each namespace, please? Do I have to modify JAXB compiler's properties???
Thanks a lot in advance.

No, I don't know how to do that. I also don't think it should matter. Are these multiple prefixes causing you any problems other than offending against Occam's Razor?

Can we get a output in different languages for the same configuration

Hi All,
Can we get a output in different languages for the same configuration done in NACE. or it is language specific.
They have symbols which have values both in german and english. But when we run the transaction we are getting the output only in german language.We want the out put in english
language.
Thanks in Advance.
Rajesh

A Smartform can be maintained in many languages other than the language that it is created. Translations for the texts have to be maintained for this purpose.
To maintain the translations:
Go to transaction SE63 in R/3.
Go to menu Translation->R/3 Enterprise->Other Long Texts
Select the object type in the pop up. Smartform(SSF) object type is found under Forms and Styles(FS).
Enter the name of the Smart form and choose the source and target language. This would open a screen with the Smartform code in Source language on the top and an editor with the same code in the bottom.
Find the text for which you need to maintain the translation and insert the translation in that place. As usual after required texts are maintained Save and Activate.
To see the translated Smartform create an output type and assign the smartform and the driver program to this output type. In the transaction that sends output to this smartform, select the output type and select the language in which the smartform has to be displayed (translations have to be maintained in this lanuage).This will give the smartform in the required language.

How can I make different catalogs from the same image

How can I make different catalogs from the same image where that image has been changed in some way between the catalogs. For instance if I wanted to have a catalogs for cropped images and have 3 catalogs one for 4x6 , 5x7 and 8x10 cropping. When I tried this , if I changed a file in one catalog that same image in the other would change also.

Do not confuse the creation of the crops and the display in collections per crop ratio.
Of course one virtual copy (VC) per crop ratio is needed. If the same image should be cropped in all 3 mentioned ratios there would be 3 VCs.
The OP asked how to have/see a set of same-crop-ratios.
After having created the virtual copies for whatever crop ratio he wants, the way to display this result in the fashion asked for is via smart collections, provided they can be found. Without a plugin the naming of the VC with the crop ratio applied is a straight way to achieve that.
IF the wish is to get new crops automatically added. (See my answers 2+3)
IF the wish is to creat static collections per crop ratio for a certain set of images, I'd go as follows:
1. Select all images you want to have cropped in that way,.
2. With this selection click on the + to add another collection and fill the dialog box like this:
Then navigate into this newly created selection and perform the 4x6 crop - according to taste individually or by synchronizing the first crop.
