Aperture performs adjustments in a different order depending on file type

Aperture performs Adjustments in a different order depending on file type.
Here's an example:
Starting with two copies of an image, one in RAW format (Canon CRW from a D60), the other in TIFF (opened the .crw file in Preview and exported an 8bit tiff file).
{The test image is a photo of my copy of Aperture on the floor of my studio (which, for reference, is a few points of Cyan off of a neutral grey).}
The original Image.

The RAW file adjusted
http://members.arstechnica.com/x/adrien/testRAW_adjusted.jpg
The TIFF files adjusted
http://members.arstechnica.com/x/adrien/testTIFF_adjusted.jpg
Import both of these files (testRAW.crw & testTIFF.tiff) into Aperture.
Make adjustments to the RAW and TIFF images:
- Exposure: Saturation -> 0 (lowest possible value).
- White Balance: Temp -> 3500K (from 5000K).
It doesn't matter what order you perform these operations in.
The RAW file is now a neutral greyscale image. With the Saturation set to 0, the White Balance makes no major difference in the image, it stays grey.
The TIFF file, however, is now a blue tinted greyscale image - much like a sepia-tone effect. Moving the White Balance slider changes the color of the image.
It appears that Aperture is performing the Saturation and WB operations in a different order: for the RAW file it first performs the WB, then the saturation; while in the TIFF file it performs the saturation first, then the WB.
The result is the same for a JPEG image.
The RAW behavior is the 'expected' behavior in photography - White Balance should happen 'before' the Saturation setting.
I've filed the bug with Apple (number 4394125 at bugreport.apple.com). hopefully they'll fix this.

Well, there are different ways of achieving this.
Solution 1:
You can create a new output type which will be triggered and call a same driver program and the new smart form. I am sure you can customize as to what Purchasing document type will trigger which output type. Get in touch with someone in the function team to get this configured.
Solution 2:
No Customizing, let the configuration be the same, but in the driver program change the value of "TNAPR-FONAM" immediately after the form entry_neu to the new form name based on the Purchasing document type.

Adding images to rows in a table depending on file type

Hello,
Within Visual Composer we have a table which lists documents and contains information about the document type
i.e. description = 'This is a Word Document', file type = 'application/msword'
then I have uploaded the images (icons) for the different file types, created a 'Document Type' column (of type image) in the table and assigned the correct boolean statements to determine which icons are shown
e.g. BOOL(IF(@MIMETYPE == 'application/msword', true, false))
This is the exact steps explained in the how to: How To Integrate BI Document Store and SAP Analytics Applications
But just does not work? It will not display the icons even though the file type (MIMETYPE) is displayed and is correct.
Any help much appreciated!

Seem to have fixed the problem.
By adding a filter before the table view it seems to allow a slight delay which allows the file types to load and the IF statements run correctly and display the correct images for the various file types.
Still seems that there is a slight Visual Composer Issue there? (but now with a work-around)

Aperture shot is recorded at different values in output file

Dear Lens users,
Please explain why the aperture values which I used in my images for my sets that I used to profile my lenses, are showing up in the output data, in the .LCP file, as having different values. For instance, at f2.8 which I used for several lens image sets, the aperture value is listed as "2.970854" and not as 2.8. Likewise for my shot aperture of f8, the aperture value listed in the output .LCP file is 6.00000.
There must be some technical explanation of why the apertures shown on the aperture ring(when there is one) or camera screen, traditional apertures thought of as f2.8, f4, f5.6, etc., are stated within the data files as other values, close but not the same.
Thanks, Debra

Thank you phototrek and T.Phanngam.
I do not see the value "FNumber" in any of my profile .LCP Files, unfortunately, I only see only the ApertureValue(I also used "Search" for "FNumber").
T.Phanngam - thanks very much for the pdf file on the technical white paper on the Lens Profile Creator - I have not seen this document before. I am printing it to read it thoroughly.
Thanks to both for replies,
Debra

LR 5.7 - different capabilities depending on license type?

I'm using LR on a standalone (not CC) license. After running the update to LR v 5.7, I'd like to get access to the Fujifilm Classic Chrome film simulation for the Fuji X-T1 camera model. I already asked this question in the US Fuji X camera user forum, and there are mixed reports: Some users claim they have access to this film simulation when opening a RAW file that originates from the initial (black) Fuji X-T1 camera - I have the same camera, but my LR installation doesn't grant me this access.
Are there two different LR v. 5.7 versions out there with different functionalities, or did I make a mistake (I tried to call up the film simulation simulation via Camera Calibration/Profile) when calling up the profile?

I see the profiles, including Classic Chrome, in LR 5.7 with a RAF from an X-T1 I downloaded from the internet.
I am on the CC Photographer's Plan, so this doesn't verify if the serial-number version has them, and I don't feel like uninstalling this and installing the serial-number version to check. I can say that these are internal to LR and ACR only, because unlike other extra Camera-xxxx profiles, these do not have corresponding .dcp files on disk, so it could be that they are in the CC version, only. One bit of evidence that they should be in the non-CC version is that they ARE there in the CS6-ACR 8.7 plug-in, which isn't CC:
Here is the entry for the LR Blog back when these profiles were first introduced that doesn't say anything about them being CC-only:
Lightroom 5.4 now available
One situation where the profiles wouldn't exist is if you are viewing a non-raw (a JPG instead of a RAF) photo, because these profiles are only available for raw files.
If none of this makes sense, can we see a screenshot of your camera profile list in LR 5.7?

Different download folders by file type?

Is there an add on or an other way to do this?

Unfortunately isnt possible change the download folder in Firefox for Android, so I think it not possible.

Performance - using JDBC call with 'order by' vs sorting data on app server

Hello! I need some valid thoughts on the performance of using a JDBC call versus processing information on the application server.
Here is the somewhat simplified scenario:
I need to retrieve customer information (name, e-mail, telephone), display it in HTML format and then be able to redisplay it in a different order. For example, initially the list would be displayed sorted by last name, but then a user might choose to sort it by e-mail address. Initial call to DB uses 'order by' in the SQL stmt to get me the initial ordering by last name. Results are stored in 2D array. However, when a user selects a different sort I have two options:
1) just make another call to the DB with a different order by clause. This means I need to create a DB connection, connect to DB, retrieve the results and read them from result set into a 2 dimensional array
2) re-sort data in the 2D array populated during the initial call. This means I need to use java.util.Arrays.sort(my_2D_resultsArray, my_custom_comparator)
Question is : which is more efficient? Number of entries retrieved can be anywhere from 0 to a few thousands (depending on other filters such as customer's country). My feeling is that option umber 2 is better, but I would like to get your opinion.
Thank you!

Good points! Thanks! I ran a test (see code below) and it takes less than a second to sort 2000 Strings and 2000 nulls. The only thing I ran the test at a UNIX prompt as oppose to from within app server (Weblogic). I expect the speed to be compatible though. Do you think that test was valid and tells us that sorting on the app server is probably faster than doing another SQL query?

Aperture performance issues.

Dear members:
After some disappointments with the latest version of Bridge (CS3) I decided to start working with Aperture as I found it offered some interesting tools for viewing and selecting images.
First I worked on some test images and everything went well. However, last night I did my first import of "real world" images and experienced severe performance issues.
I imported one folder containing 163 photos to two different locations - the folder and the images were the same but imported into two separate locations in Aperture as I was trying to create the ideal file structure for me.
These are the questions and/or problems I have.
1. This IS NOT a major problem. As much as I tried to import photos into an album or folder I couldn't do it. I don't like the project concept and prefer to have my images placed into folders or albums. My iPhoto library was imported by Aperture using this structure. The iPhoto library is a folder with albums as subdivisions as they were set up in iPhoto originally. However, this doesn't seem to be working as I import photos from other locations.
Q: How can I import photos into folders or albums and completely avoid the projects concept and icons ?
2. This IS major problem. Performance was very poor. I imported the folders last night and waited for approximately 30 min until I decided to turn my computer off. Aperture gave me a message stating that it was still generating previews and asking me if I wanted to quit. I pressed the OK button and turned the computer off. This morning I launced Aperture again and it went back to the spinning wheel on both projects. It must have taken approximately 45 min until the spinning wheels were no longer turning.
This is a problem for me as I have a library with approximately 15,000 - 20,000 images. The ones I imported last night were CR2 generated by a Canon 1Ds MK II (17 MB each). I can only imagine how long it would have taken had I chosen to import the 120+ MB TIFF images I also have in my library from slide scans.
My Aperture preferences have been set for Preview Quality = 12 and Limit Preview Size = Don't Limit. I have it set this way as I don't with to have reduced size previews so that (1) they can display with the highest possible quality as I mostly use the full screen mode for viewing and selecting images, and (2) in case I upgrade to a larger monitor in the near future (I have a 23" cinema display but am planning to upgrade to a 30") the previews will still work with that monitor.
Is this performace typical of Aperture ? I understand my camera is a professional camera that generates large images but isn't Aperture supposed to be a professional application aimed at professional photographers ? And what about those who work with 39 MB images from a Hasselblad or with scanned 120+ MB slide images ?
Is there something obvious I have forgotten to look at or set up in Aperture ?
Thank you in advance,
Joseph Chamberlain

Steve:
Thank you very much for your reply to my post and for your suggestions. Some comments about my experience appear below. I am grateful for your help and don't wish in any way to discuss what you recommend below. I just wish to share my view of this issue and also to try to find the best answers for my problem.
For 1, use File > Import > Folders Into A Project. That will retain your folder
structure using brown folders and albums.
See:
http://www.bagelturf.com/aparticles/library/fivesimple/index.html and
http://www.bagelturf.com/aparticles/library/brown/index.html and
http://www.bagelturf.com/aparticles/library/libinadv/index.html
A. You can't. Projects are the container for everything in Aperture. No
projects, no images. So just live with them and subnvert them any way you
like. I don't have "projects" so I just use months, vacations, events, or
whatever keeps my image collections a reasonable size.
As an user I would like to have control over my own filing structure. This works quite well in iPhoto and I don't understand why Aperture chose to adopt this less flexible file structure. Also I noticed that the imported iPhoto library appears in Aperture inside a folder with multiple albums. Since Aperture can do this for iPhoto I find it hard to understand why it can't do for other imported images.
2. Turn off previews and delete the ones you have. When you find you need > them, use them selectively:
http://www.bagelturf.com/aparticles/previews/pwho/index.html
As stated in my previous post I always (no exception) use the full screen mode for viewing my images which is similar to a slide show. So according to the web page you reference above I would fall under the category of users that need previews.
You don't need high res previews. Aperture already generates thumbnails
for you.
General speed tips:
* Get the best video card with the most RAM you can afford
I can't. My computer is fairly new as it was purchased a little more than 2 years ago. Although it is a fairly new computer Apple no longer offers parts for it. My video card is an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro with 64 MB of VRAM installed. I have contacted Apple about this issue and they tell me there is nothing they can do. I have also contacted both ATI Radeon and nVidia and both have discontinued the only two cards they would work in my system (X800 XT Mac Edition and GeForce 6800, respectively).
* Smaller screens are faster than larger screens
My screen is 23" which I would consider to be a medium size screen by today's standards. However, isn't the purpose of working with Aperture to be able to develop a professional workflow ? And don't most professionals like to use large screens to view their work ?
* Avoid H&S adjustments until all the others are done
* Make sure you have sufficient RAM (2G minimum, 3G on a Mac Pro)
My system has 2.5 GB RAM installed. It has been suggested to me that I should add another 1 or 2 GB RAM as it would improve performance significantly. I have no problem doing that and would welcome that solution if I knew for a fact it was going to address my issues. However, I have already invested too much on hardware and software while still finding myself struggling with the issues I have described. Do you think the additional RAM would solve the problem ?
* Don't use previews unless you need them
Based on what I have read on the pages you referenced it seems to me I am one of those users who needs previews.
* Keep projects small. Use blue folders to group projects
My current filing structure is simple - I four folders each with subfolders containing in average 200 to 1000 images each. Some have as little as 1 image and some have 1000. But the majority would fall in the 300 to 400 images range.
* Rebuild the database once in a while
* Quit other apps if memory is restrictive
It seems in this case that the RAM upgrade I mention above would be helpful. Would it allow me to run other applications while also running Aperture without any noticeable performance alteration ?
To a great extent you have to rethink your workflow once you use Aperture.
Many people do a lot of unnecessary things because they are coming from
an environment that forced them to. Start from scratch and ask yourself
why you do everything you do. Much of the effort you will find is wasted
because Aperture either does it for you or make it unnecessary.
I am trying to simply my workflow as much as I can but not at the expense of quality. Bridge CS2 did a very good job for me. In many ways it was the perfect application althout it didn't have many of the great features I find in Aperture for reviewing and selecting images. First it was simple - all you had to do was to create your own file structure and then point Bridge to the folders as it would create its own previews. Second it was fast - this process happened a lot faster compared to Aperture and Bridge CS3. Third it was high quality - the previews generated were high quality and could be seen with amazing resolution while in slide show viewing mode on my 23" screen. My upgrade to Bridge CS3 was disastrous as (1) it has many bugs Adobe hasn't taken the time to fix, (2) it is slow on average machines requiring the latest hardware to run efficiently which is unrealistic for most consumers and (3) the previews generated are soft and appear pixilated and in poor quality while in slide show view.
I am going back to Aperture after a very disappointing start as I was one of the very first to purchase the software as soon as it was introduced only to be frustrated with all of its bugs and design flaws. Aperture has one of the best interfaces I have seen on any imaging application and I would really like to use but after this new attempt to use and the barriers I have encountered I am not sure I can.

Same role but want different order layouts OR & KL orders

Not easily seeing how to allow a KL order to have a different layout than the OR order in the same role.
Looking at the Role configuration Key, Component Usage, Object Type, Object subtype but do not see how or where to tie one of those to an order type. No reason to have pricing info on a KL order type, is free by nature.

Hello,
I think you'll need to create this link yourself... with very few lines of coding.
For this, redefine method DO_CONFIG_DETERMINATION of the relevant view, and implement something like this:
lr_entity ?= me->typed_context->btadminh->collection_wrapper->get_current().
IF lr_entity->get_property_as_string( 'PROCESS_TYPE' ) EQ 'OR'.
me->set_config_keys( iv_object_type          = <your_value_for_OR>
                       iv_object_sub_type      = ' '
                       iv_propagate_2_children = abap_true ).
ELSE.
me->set_config_keys( iv_object_type          = <your_value_for_KL>
                       iv_object_sub_type      = ' '
                       iv_propagate_2_children = abap_true ).
ENDIF.
This will allow you to load different configurations depending on the process type of the current business transaction.

Nicolas Busson.
PS: you need to define your object types first in IMG:

Syncing Photos from Aperture to Ipod touch (how to order the photos?)

I have some photos on my ipod touch from my aperture library, all good. But they sync in a different order to how they are stored in Aperture. I think it syncs by photo name alphabetically?
Is there a way to set the order of the photos by the date they were taken?
This is surely not to difficult an option to have, and i am sure ipod software up to 2.1 had this feature.
Please Do not tell me to rename my photos.

See here.

Importing different Amount depending on Account

Hi
I am trying to import a different column (in CSV file) for the amount depending on the prefix of the Account field. Basically, I want to upload closing balances for some accounts and YTD movements for others. Does anyone know how I could write an import script that would do this?
Thanks

You would have to provide the format of the CSV, but it's fairly simple.
When you create a Data Pump import script, one of the parameters passed in is strRecord. You can do a scripted parse of the strRecord to do a check on the account field. In a similar fashion you can do a scripted parse of strRecord for the desired amount and return that value.
I will advise you that while this solution works, it is not the most visible solution in terms of auditing. You rarely want to do any adjustments to the amount in an import format. If you wanted to remain completely transparent, you may want to look into changes in the source extract.

Why don't my photos appear as they do in iPhoto on my Apple Computer. Even though I specify to sync all Events, Faces, etc. the iPad 2 is missing Faces categories and the Events are in a different order.

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

Aperture performance on a PowerBook G4?

Wondering what type of performance I could expect from Aperture if I installed it on my PowerBook G4. The system is 1.5GHz with 1 GB. Graphics card is a ATI Mobility Radeon 9700. I'm running OS X 10.4.7.
I've seen posts (a recent one on iBook) where folks are having trouble the software.
What should I expect?

iBook commentary does not apply to Powerbooks, especially more modern higher end ones like yours. There is a reason iBooks were so cheap.
My PB G4 is a small bit stronger than yours (1.67 GHz, 128 MB VRAM) and I have always described it as "adequate" to run Aperture. However, I never said it ran Aperture "well." For sure you would need to increase your RAM to at least 1.5 GB, preferably 2 GB.
I recently ordered a MBP, and improving Aperture performance was the sole reason for doing so.

RTorrent: move downloads to different directories depending on tracker

Hi!
I would like rTorrent to move completed downloads to different directories depending on the trackers in the torrent. An ideal setup for me would be something like this:
torrents/completed/tracker_x
torrents/completed/tracker_y
torrents/completed/tracker_z
torrents/completed/unknown_trackers
torrents/incomplete
torrents/torrent_files
torrents/session_data
Any hints/links/etc for me? I think i can make something work if rTorrent could pass the .torrent file path and downloading directory to a bash script

very lazily copied out my .rtorrentrc
32 schedule = watch_directory_1,10,10,"load_start=/home/share/media/torrents/foo/*.torrent,d.set_custom1=/home /share/media/video/foo"
33 schedule = watch_directory_2,10,10,"load_start=/home/share/media/torrents/bar/*.torrent,d.set_custom1=/home/s hare/media/video/bar"
39 on_finished = move_complete,"d.set_directory=$d.get_custom1= ;execute=mv,-u,$d.get_base_path=,$d.get_custom1="
there's also this, but i think it doesn't actually move the files; it makes symlinks.

BAPI_ALM_ORDERHEAD_GET_LIST to select two different order at a time (urgent

hello all ,
Using BAPI_ALM_ORDERHEAD_GET_LIST i want to select two different orders at a time . As we do in IW38 using select single vaules(1) .
i want to know how to pass the selection .
Up to know i have tried like this :
FIELD_NAME                     S OP LOW_VALUE
OPTIONS_FOR_ORDERID            I EQ 500460
OPTIONS_FOR_ORDERID            I EQ 500400
But i am getting only the first order . But i want both order numbers .
So please help me on this .
Thanks are regards ,
Prem

Just for information. The following IT_RANGES fields map to the IW38 checkboxes at the top of the selection-screen:
SHOW_DOCUMENTS_IN_PROCESS      IW38 - Outstanding (CRTD)
SHOW_OPEN_DOCUMENTS                  IW38 - In process (REL)
SHOW_COMPLETED_DOCUMENTS       IW38 - Completed (TECO and CLSD)
SHOW_HISTORICAL_DOCUMENTS       IW38 - Historical
If you want to select TECO/CLSD orders, then you would use the following in IT_RANGES:
SHOW_DOCUMENTS_IN_PROCESS      I EQ
SHOW_OPEN_DOCUMENTS                  I EQ
SHOW_COMPLETED_DOCUMENTS       I EQ X
SHOW_HISTORICAL_DOCUMENTS       I EQ
As you then said, you need to filter out the CLSD statuses using:
OPTIONS_FOR_STATUS_INCLUSIVE I EQ TECO
I suspect this would be a more efficient way of selecting the data, but you'd need to check.
