Apples to apples - how can I make sense of DNGPE's color readouts?

The simple version of this question is "how do I convert a DNG file such that Photoshop's HSV (and CIELAB) readouts agree with DNGPE's?" Put another way, I want to have the same DNG image open in Photoshop and DNGPE, and have both applications agree on the color numbers for a particular chart patch.
It seems like using ACR to convert an image into ProPhotoRGB would get me close, at least in the hue and sat dimensions, but that isn't the case in practice.
Worse yet, the L*a*b* numbers disagree, and as far as I understand, they shouldn't. The closest I've been able to get is using dcraw on the command line to spit out linear 16-bit TIFFs in ProPhotoRGB, but it's still not exact, and it strikes me as weird that I'd get closer with an open-source tool than Camera Raw.
I'd like to just derive my list of HSV vectors from Photoshop and plug that list into a DNGPE recipe (rather than hand-tweaking color patches using the DNGPE GUI), but if I can't get Photoshop and DNGPE to agree on the source color, this becomes impossible, as I'd be comparing apples to oranges.
Also, it's my understanding that the DNG Profile HueSatMaps are based on HSV, but DNGPE seems to specify its list of corrections as HSL... is that correct? Any particular reason that the corrections are a list of HSL vectors that are later translated into HSV for the profile?
Thanks in advance!

Following up to myself here - I was able to get Camera Raw to convert an image such that the L*a*b* numbers matched DNGPE, but Hue and Sat are still off. What I WAS doing previously, to no avail, was converting in Camera Raw using the same BASE profile I had selected in DNGPE. I thought that since I hadn't made any corrections or changes in DNGPE, it would only be applying the base profile, and the images should match.
To fix that, I used DNGPE to export a new profile (again, with no actual edits made), and converted using the exported profile. Now Photoshop and DNGPE agree about the L*a*b* figures at least, though they still disagree about hue / sat. DNGPE consistently reports hue numbers about 6º-10º higher than Photoshop, and saturation numbers that are 50-100% higher. Saturation difference, I suspect, are from comparing HSB in Photoshop to HSL in DNGPE. Not sure what would be causing the hue inaccuracy. The RGB numbers differ wildly, too, so this is probably a color management issue.
Duplicating DNGPE's color management to obtain identical Hue and Sat figures in another application is now the problem. Put as simply as possible - "Where does DNGPE get it's hue / sat figures?"

How can I make the background one solid color? It is too difficult and noticeable when I use the retouch button and try to erase all the creases in my backdrop. So, how can I have just a solid white background?

When talking about a specific image posting the image may be useful.
One can use a Layer Mask and add a white Layer underneath.

The white background makes my eyes hurt. How can I make the background a different color?

How can I make the new update more colorful my mother can't read the white pages with tiny lines we hate it

How can get the color back on my iPad 2 retina my mother can not read the new white pages with tiny line or the text messages

You can go into the settings and make the fonts bigger, also in the accessibility, make the contrast better and fonts bolder.
There is also the 'invert colors' but it's not the best thing since it inverts everything.
unfortunately this doesn't seem to be a good update for those with visual issues.

You can let Apple know. They won't answer but at least you can be added to the talley of those that have issues.

How can I make a link a different color than the other links according to the current page?

Hello. I have created a navigation bar. And I would like to style the links to have the current page link a different color than the other links. For example, if all of the links have a black background, I would like to have the current page link to have a white background. The reason that I would like to style them this way is so that the visitor knows what page is being visitied.
I tried different ways but all of them did not show to make any change to the links. This is what I have so far. The links work, but all of them have the same color and background. When on the home page, I would like to have the home page link to have a white background with black letters. I would appreciate your advice.

Are you tapping on the field you want to enter data into? That opens the soft keyboard. If you touch the field and hold it, the paste option will appear.

How can I make a line at 40 degree angle in Keynote 6

How can you make a line of 40 degrees (or anywhere between 40 to 45) angle in the new Keynote 6.2.2. It seems they took away that nice feature from the previous version. When I move one end of a line, it locks onto 45 when I get near that angle, and jumps off directly to 34 when I try to move away. Previously you could click on a line to transform the ends into red spots, and move them independently to any angle or length. Now it locks onto 45, or 135 or 90 etc. I don't have any of the guides on or any other feature. This is supposed to happen only when holding shift key (which is also a great feature). If it locks onto the magic angles without holding shift, then there is no sense if having that feature at all.

Press the command key when dragging, this switches off snapping and allows continuous placement.

How can I make the sort default "by date" in iPhoto?

On one of my computers, every time I load an event, it goes to the top of the library and I have to go to "sort/by date" to get it to go to the end or bottom of the library...where I want it.
On my other computers, the default seems to be "by date" normally....
How can I make the default sort option "by date?"
Thanks.

I am not by that computer now. But that makes sense.
I combine events that are imported into that iPhoto. I suppose that would qualify as manually sorting....right?
Still, shouldn't there be a way to overide that and make "date" the default. That is, if your observation is correct.
(I'll take a look tomorrow....)
Thanks!!

SpringLayout in J2SE6.0 : Can't make sense of Sun's statement

Sun advertises binary incompatibilities for pre-1.6 programs when run in a 1.6 JRE. I have an app that is now completely broken with 1.6, and I can't make sense of Sun's explanation (quoted below in its entirety).
First of all, the two sentences in the statement
"In Java SE 6, SpringLayout maintains the order in which springs have been set. As a result, specifying springs is no longer order-dependent."
seem to directly contradict each other. But more to the point, I don't understand their description of what constitutes an overly constrained layout. They say in one place that two springs on an axis are necessary and a third would result in some redundancy. But then they say that the first of the following two statements was ignored in j2SE5.0
constraints.setX(xSpring);
constraints.setConstraint("East", eastSpring);Why is that? If you only constrain the east side of an object, why is the placement on the X axis redundant? I would think that either an X or a width constraint is needed. My code is predicated on that (apparently erroneous) understanding, and now I get over 60 "spring xyz is cyclic" errors using J2SE6.0.
I think if I understood the example above I'd know what's wrong with my code, but I just can't see how you can constrain an object fully with a single spring.
Here's the full text of Sun's incompatibility statement from the release notes.
[i]8. Specifying constraints on SpringLayout was order dependent
SpringLayout specifies three Springs along each axis which dictate the size and position of a component. Only two Springs are needed along each axis, with the third being derived. If three Springs are specified, the layout is considered overly constrained and one of the Springs is dropped. Currently, the behavior for determining which Spring to drop is not intuitive and leads to ordering problems.
In Java SE 6, SpringLayout maintains the order in which springs have been set. As a result, specifying springs is no longer order-dependent. Support for centering and aligning along the baseline has also been added.
Programs affected by this change can contain statements that were redundant in J2SE 5.0.
For example:
constraints.setX(xSpring);
constraints.setConstraint("East", eastSpring);
In J2SE 5.0, the setX call in effect resulted in nothing, in Java SE 6, the setX call is meaningful and different behavior will result.

i thought i'd mention a little more. if i change my constructor to something like
public MyClass() {
    System.out.println("Before load().");
    load();
    System.out.println("After load().");
}the before and after lines print but the load method's printf will not print until my program ends. still puzzled.

How much it makes sense AIA FP without AIA Error Handlers?

If we decide not to use AIA Error Handling, how much do you rate AIA FP out of 5?
How much it makes sense AIA FP without AIA Err Handler?
And should we go ahead without AIA Error Handling?
Our requirement is litle tricky (can be achieved with some word arounds) to be achieved using AIA EH so we decided to use our own Email handler BPEL to send Error Mails. what challenged we may face going ahead and what things we should keep in mind designing the custom BPEL. Also If we use AIA EH
Please suggest me the best way you think...
We are using SOA Suite 11g
Edited by: panks on Jul 12, 2011 6:18 PM

I even feel the same AIA EH is significant part of AIA.
Here we faced some issues which obviously can be overcame by some changes in prebuilt solution..
1. AIA EH sents Text mail no HTML template I was able to find
2. Role is not role in 11g. it is user :( This is very dis appointing if we want to assign multiple people to a same role. I will have to put them into a dist Mail List. Migration from one instance of Web logic to another for UI messaging(notification channel) is also a challenge. In 10g It was more easy by putting all these in Jazn. I have no Idea same can be achived here in 11g.
3. Error code/Err Msg/Corrective Action: we want customized Error codes and Error messages even when we trigger the CompositeJavaAction from Fault Policy. It was Over riding the values of Fault notification in Composite Java action and Mail is sent. We have no control of customising the Error codes/ Error Message if triggered from Java Action. I will have to write again our own Java Action for this.
I got some where in Doc that some codes and custom texts can be stored in a Resource Class. but again this is overhead to decompile the class file update it and again compile it :) . I have no Idea what led them to put these Texts in a Class :) they have DVM, AIA Config Xref still they used Class for storing hardcoded values which they say are configurable (but how? decompile -> change ->compile??)..

How can we make a .DLL file..???

Hi,
can any one tell me how can we make a .dll file..
can we insert any font file (.ttf), image, icons in in the dll file to call them progrmatically in forms 6i...and use them onu where
like i am currently using d2kwut60.dll file to call mouse cursors that loaded into it..
I would appreciate any response to this issue..??

Ok,
Let me take this example.
Supposing A vendor with 3 AP open items, B vendor with 2 AP open items.
When making a payment proposal, SAP shows only 2 lines, namely, collected by vendor code.
Looking at DME file, however, it shows 5 lines which means all individual open items.
What we want to make is 2 lines in DME file, which means grouping invoices by vendor in a DME file.
Hope it makse sense.

Why would you think that all stores would have the same policy?
Amazon allows it, iTunes does not. That is why. Like most companies, Apple does not forward explanations to al of their decisions to the general public. It does not have to make sense to you, for it to be true. Apple has teams of experts that have determined that this is how they should conduct their business.
With iTunes, you cannot use other countries stores.
