Applying develop alterations to file at location

Hi - I'm a total newbie to lightroom so forgive my inexperience!
Having made changes with the develop module how do you make those changes appear on the actual photos in Explorer?
Thanks.

Ideally, it's best to back your originals and your Lightroom catalog file (*.lrcat) up to one folder that you will eventually copy or move to off site media (in case your computer is stolen or burns up in a fire or whatever). We used to do this to CD-Rs or DVD-Rs, but they take up a lot of space and are prone to failure; hard drives are the cheaper, easier way, now. Many people like to have two extra backup hard drives (internal, or external), which they alternate between office and home, or safe deposit box and home, so they always have a copy of their backed up, imported files, off-site.
Did you back your originals up when you Imported them? I think Lightroom does this by default. If you backed up your images when you imported, you don't need to do it again to have a safe copy in case of inadvertent deletion on your current hard drive. You also don't need to Create A Virtual Copy for every shot you work with in Lightroom, because of the way the edits are non-destructive, as described above. (Think of Virtual Copies as a way of making alternate prints from the same image, as with different crops, or different exposures from one image; unless you're doing that with one particular image, you probably do NOT need to Create A Virtual Copy.)
If you're not sure if you backed up when you imported, here's how to tell if you did, and if so, where copies of your imported image files ended up. In LR, go into Library mode and click the Import button on the lower left. Pick an image file anywhere on your computer. (You're not really going to import this, so it's not critical what you pick. You just need to pick one here so you can open the Import Photos dialog window, and see what Lightroom is set to do.) Now look about two-thirds of the way down the window that pops when you do this, on the left side. Is the "Backup to:" box checked? If so, you almost certainly did back up your images when you imported. Notice the folder that's indicated there. Go in Windows Explorer and search that folder location. Are all the files you imported into LR backed up there? If so, you're backed up at least on the indicated hard drive. It's still best to figure out a strategy to move a copy of the backed-up image files and the Lightroom catalog file off-site in case of disaster.
There are different strategies for backing up image files off-site, and you can search the forum archives for threads which debate advantages and disadvantages of different approaches.

How to remove file path location listings from photos and objects in Acrobat Pro 9.0 PDF?

After converting a windows-based Powerpoint 2007 presentation to an Acrobat Pro 9.0 PDF, the file path location of all photos and objects are shown in a dialogue box when the cursor is moved over the image as seen in this screenshot below. How can I stop this from happening and remove this feature on my pdf documents?

I saw that referenced on a forum, but it does not seem to address the issue I am having.
As per Adobe Acrobat X Standard * What’s new, the equivalent to the "Tools > Protection > Remove Hidden Information" utility found in Acrobat X Standard is the same as the "Document > Examine Document" feature in Acrobat Pro 9.0. Those tools seem to cover meta data, book marks, hidden text, and deleted or cropped content, but not the file path listings that appear on images and objects converted from Powerpoint presentations and other MS Office programs.
I have reviewed the settings used while creating a pdf, and have also tried the “Advanced > Preflight tool”, but could not find anything to apply to the issue at hand.
Thus, this issue has not been resolved, but seems like it should be an easy fix that anyone who publishes pdf documents would want to use to publish clean, professional documents without anyone seeing the file path location of every object and image shown in the document on their hard drive.

SSIS - Change Config File Path LOCATION in SQL Agent Job Step (NOT USING DTEXEC)

SSISers;
I am not new to ssis but am trying to deal with promoting of ssis config files differently for a specific project. We are using SQL 2008 R2.
As a standared pattern used for years, we just use SQL Agent, build a job step for the ssis package, add the ssis package as SQL Integration Services Package type from fileshare (not using Integration Services), and add the necessary production
config files in the configutation tab of the job step. Easy. We do not execute our packages with DTEXEC command line.
A new project has the developers leaving the config files in the package - not removing the config files for deployment. Is there a way to override JUST THE CONFIG FILE PATH LOCATION in the job step for ssis package? Remember, we are NOT using dtexec.
I was told that /SET might do it but I do not see a good example anywhere of hooking this in and how it works for a CONFIG FILE PATH LOCATION - I see variable overrides but not CONFIG FILE PATH LOCATION. The packages were written with Absolute config file
path and not Relative path.
Please understand that my goal is to let them leave the packages as is, we move the config files to the production sever and all we have to do is flip the location of where the config files are sitting for the ssis pacakge to look for them. We would
rather NOT have to use DTEXEC command line with the job step for reasons that I do no need to get into on this forum.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hi mg30,
There is no way to overwrite the XML configurations file just through modifying the SQL Server Agent job steps. The Dtexec utility will apply the default package configurations for the second time after applying the options specified in the command
lines or other package configurations configured in the job step.
If the package is not deployed/installed, the Dtexec utility looks for the XML configurations file according to the file path defined in the Package Configurations Organizer window. In this situation, you need to either disable the package configurations
or modify the XML file path in the BIDS.
If the package is already deployed/installed, you need to modify the package as above or re-specify the install folder for the package configurations file.

Problem Re-applying Develop settings after roundtrip to photoshop!

I am having a very annoying problem with re applying develop settings back to an image after touching up in photoshop.
Here is my basic workflow.
1 - import camera files to lightroom (Raw .cr2 Files)
2 - make slects and experiment with color develop settings.
3 - Rest all develop settings.
4 - send to photoshop for skin touch ups via edit in photoshop. OR export .DNG files for my touch up artist.
5 - Re import into lightroom via saving from photoshop to up date the copy it makes or just re-importing if it was a DNG i exported
6 - copy the develop settings from the original then pasting onto the edited version.
When I do this paste the develop settings the image gets totally blown out and is not at all close to the original develop settings I had decided on.
Note: before pasting the develop settings the touched up file is IDENTICAL to the reset original.
This is a Major problem for me and totally makes it impossible to match the original effect.
What am I doing wrong here?

So what should the workflow be?
Do your best on RAW in Lightroom, edit in Photoshop (16bpc, ProPhoto) for final touches that Lightroom cannot accomplish (retouch skin etc.).
if I do an effect then send to photoshop to edit and then back to lightroom is some of the color information lost? say if my effect is really blowing out the whites and I want to change it post photoshop edit am I able to get that color information back?
No, if you blow the highlight in raw, you cannot get them back from a PSD. The point is not to blow them if you don't wish to, then there will be nothing to recover fro a PSD. But if your artistic choice was to blow the highlights in a picture, then there's on difference when you blow them and no point in wishing
to recover them on a latter stage.
Do the photoshop files have the same color range as the raws?
Yes, if you use the ProPhoto RGB space and 16bpc bit depth.

Can not find file must locate each song one at a time need to restore my whole library

can not find file, must locate each song one at a time need to restore my whole library

Hello BadSteve,
It sounds like iTunes seems to have lost track of all your music and you must locate each file individually. I would recommend at this point that you check for 3rd party plugins to see if there are any causing an issue:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3430
If the issue persists after removing the plugins, I would next try recreating your iTunes library:

My computer had a virus and had to be cleaned, but I had my Mozilla bookmarks in a Word file now located on my Desktop. There should be an easy way to drag the bookmarks to the new Mozilla. Can you tell me how in simple straightforward steps? Thanks.

If the Word file is a document file type (.doc), you may be able to save it as a .html file, then import that .html file into Firefox.
In Word, open the .doc file containing the Bookmarks,
*click File > Save As,
*in the "Save in" box, choose a Folder or location on your hard drive to save the file where you can find it later,
*in the "Save type as" box choose ".html",
*in the "Filename box" enter "bookmarks.html" (without the quotation marks),
*click "Save"
Then follow the-edmeister's instruction in Firefox:
*Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = from an HTML file
*See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Importing%20Bookmarks%20from%20an%20HTML%20File

Save as/Save does not point to file open location for the file

Hi,
Working with large number of files it's imperative that I can rely on the software's ability to know where open files are located on disk, so that when needed I can save all open files to their original locations. Unfortunately CS6 wil save all open files to the location of the last saved file!
Even after a power out, or CS6 crash, all the recovered files will point to the directory last document was saved to!!
This means that if I have 10 open files from 10 different folders, they will all be saved to one folder, in which maximum one of the 10 files have been opened from and I will not know where they are if I follow their original file location (e.g from Lightroom import from camera).
This generates a very time consuming manual workaround, in which I must file-by-file open the correct folder in Save as dialogue.
Using "Save As to Original Foder" has no meaning selected or de-selected.
I don't know of any other software that suppresses original file location in save/save as...
How do I disable this unproductive and illogical malfunction?
Morten

Okay, doing what you outlined, I'm getting the same result. It's acting like the file you open is a new file that hasn't been saved, and that always defaults to the last saved location. I'm not saying it should be like this, but I think it is default behavior. Only advice I can offer is to put in a feature request:

Passing file read location as a parameter or dynamica to FTP write adapter.

Hi All,
We have a requirement to FTP files to a location. We are planning to use FTP adapter in SOA 11g.
But our requirement is to pass the file read location as a parameter as in case of failure we are planning to read file from the archive location.
But FTP location to which file is written or ftped will always remain constant. Only the read location from which this file is picked needs to be dynamic.
Any pointers on this will be of great help.
Thanks,
Sowmya

Hi,
In 11g we can pass filename and directory name at runtime through properties on receive activity.
If you double click on the Receive activity (connecting to file Adapter), then on Properties tab, you will find three properties jca.file.Directory, jca.file.Filename and jca.file.Size. Select the property which ever you want and assign variable/expression to it.
Value assigned to Variable can be passed runtime as an input to the process.

Where is the running JAVA file is located

Hey,
lets say my java file would be in C:\package1\whereIam.java
if I run this program, how can I ask (command ?),
in which directory the running java file is located.
i.e. I would like to get C:\package1
Aykut

It's actually more complicated than that. The class could be in a jar file... would you want the directory the jar file is in? Well, I'll let you deal with those issues. You can get a URL to your class like this, I think:URL me = this.getClass().getResource("/" + this.getClass().getName());

Can't set File Hosting Locations on Show and Share

Hi,
I'm currently using Show and Share 5.2. I have it peered with the DMM and everything for the most part seems to be working fine. The problem that I'm having is that I can't seem to set and save the File Hosting Locations. I set it to store locally and it shows a valid password, but it will not save the setings. I've tried this in multiple browser: the latest firefox and IE. Any ideas?

Are you using the Actual Appliances or are you testing with VMware images?
Please gather and upload the following screenshots:
* Go to the AAI interfaces for BOTH the DMM & the SnS. Please provide a screen capture
of the Pairing status screens for each appliance.
* Go to the DMM --> Admin Module and get a screenshot of the services for the DMM & the SnS.
Is there any error when trying to save settings? Please provide the screen shot
of that..
Thanks

Create(java.io.InputStream) in Scanner cannot be applied to (java.io.File)

Ahhh!!!
Ahem, when I try to compile the file below, "PhoneDirectory.java", I get the following compilation error message:

    Scanner fin = Scanner.create(file);After quite a bit of tweaking... I'm right back where I started. I'm a seasoned programmer, as far as concepts are concerned, but rather new to JAVA.
The error seems to be occuring where a new instance of "Scanner" is supposed to be created. It uses file I/O, and I had only used the Scanner class for the keyboard input in the past.
Looking at the Scanner class, everything seems to be right to me. I'm probably missing some simple fundamental concept, and I've been pulling my hair out trying to get it... Please help me shed some light on this situation!

Scanner.java
=========
    This class does input from the keyboard. To use it you
    create a Scanner using
    Scanner stdin = Scanner.create(System.in);
     then you can read doubles, ints, or strings as follows:
    double d; int i; string s;
    d = stdin.nextDouble();
    i = stdin.nextInt();
    s = stdin.nextLine();
    An unexpected input character will cause an exception.
    You cannot type a letter when it's expecting a double,
    nor can you type a decimal point when it's expecting an int.
import java.io.*;
public class Scanner {
// Simplifies input by returning
// the next value read from the
// keyboard with each call.

private int start=0, end = 0, next;

Dreamweaver Template Error: Error reading file (Site Location/info) returned incomplete data

Hello!
I am working on new website we are creating for our company. I have never really had any Dreamweaver template file errors before...so this one has me really stumped! We purchased the site files from Template Monster and I have contacted their tech support, but I have not had much luck with them.
I started out by creating the Dreamweaver template folder that includes the template files that I would like to use. I started creating some pages using the template. I placed all the html pages in the main folder of the website. When I go to update the template to those pages I get the following error: "Error reading file (Site Location\Folder name\Dreamweaver template name) returned incomplete data".
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!
The site is a CSS based site with a Flash navigation menu. Since it is in the production phase, I do not yet have it placed on a server so you can take a look at it at this time (although if really needed and we cannot find an answer, I may be able to get the test site on line - if someone thinks they can help me answer this problem by viewing the site). Right now the site is housed in the same place we house all of the other sites we have produced and all of our other templates on our other websites work just fine. The main difference with this site is that we did purchase files from Template Monster to help speed us along during the construction of the page structures and also this site has a Flash Navigation Menu and a few other Flash elements (something our other sites do not really have).
I am using Abobe Dreamweaver CS5 and Windows 7
Thanks again for taking the time to help find and answer to this problem!

I am curious as to why no one likes them around here.
They have spammed these forums in the past.
The code on their pages is rarely 'best-practice' code.
There are much better choices available.
My co-worker and I have to share the files, since we are editing the site together. The files are not local on our computers, but on the company's f drive that have Novell on it.
This arrangement is a recipe for disaster. The correct way to collaborate on a site with a colleague is with the following setup:
Each of you must have a LOCAL site (local to your workstation)
You would use a single remote location as a staging area, so each of you would have a site definition that specifies your own workstation for the local site, and the same network shared location as the Remote site
You will both need to enable Check In/ Check Out
You will both have to agree to PLAY BY THE RULES!
One (or both) of you will also need to have a second site defined that has the staging server as the local root folder, and would have the PRODUCTION server as the remote site. I'll explain how to use this site soon.
When you use CI/CO, your 'gold-standard files' are on the staging server. To begin working, you would connect to the staging server, and double click on a file, which will a) fetch the file from the staging server to your local site, and b) CHECK OUT the file to you. As long as you have the file checked out, it cannot be edited by your colleague. When you are done with your edit, you would CHECK IN the file (which uploads it to the staging server). It can now be edited by your colleague.
When you add templates to this scenario, things get even more complicated, although manageable. If you ever need to make a change to a template you must use the following procedure:
ALL FILES MUST BE CHECKED IN - this includes both you and your colleague.
One of you would connect with the SECOND SITE, open and edit the template, and save it propagating the changes to all "LOCAL" files (i.e., on the staging server).
Each of you would then need to return to the FIRST SITE, and again check out any files you want to work on.
When changes are done, and files are ready to publish, connect to the SECOND SITE, and upload the files from STAGING to PRODUCTION.
Does that make sense? It's important that it does.
I need to add in one more tab/link to the Flash nav bar.
Using Flash for navigation is a VERY POOR CHOICE, unless you also have redundant, text-based navigation on the pages. By using Flash to navigate, you guarantee: a) your pages will not be spiderable by search engines, b) your pages will not be navigable by iPlatforms, and c) your pages will be inaccessible to anyone browsing with screen assistive devices. Someone is making bad decisions about this site, in my opinion.

Does anyone know where the iWeb data files are located or what they are called? I can't find them. I looked in Finder for files named the same as my website, but found nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

If you erased or replaced your hard drive since iWeb was cancelled, then they are gone. Otherwise, if you have maintained backups then check those.
Usually such files are in the /Home/Library/ folder or a sub-folder.
Exposing the /Home/Library/ Folder
Pick one of the following methods:
A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.
B. Click on the Desktop, press the OPTION (⌥) button, select Library from the Finder's Go menu.
C. Select Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Paste the following in the path field:
~/Library
Press the Go button.
