Auto tone and auto WB

How often do you use these two features, and do you find them accurate? I have LR5, and I've found that sometimes they work better than others. The auto white balance setting seems to work fairly well most of the time. On the other hand, auto tone can be pretty hit or miss. Many times, it wants to make the photo much too bright.

Auto-WB is usually pretty good.
AutoTone can be rather entertaining. 50/50 chance of it being helpful.
I have my own presets for various shooting conditions.

In Photoshop Elements 12, is there a way to batch process all photos in a file with 'Auto Tone' and save the changes?

Confused about the use of TONE and AUTO buttons

After moving an image from Library module to Develop moddule (in LR4) , I open the basic panel. In the basic panel, I see two text buttons: TONE and AUTO. The AUTO button seems to be the default setting. I could re-adjusst the tones as it requires. I have no problem with the ATTO button.
When I press the AUTO button, the TONE button is activated. Then, colors and tones changed immediately. When I move one of the tonal sliders (e.g., Exposrure), it activates the AUTO button. I thought that the TONE button was intended to use for manual tonal change. I am confused. What is the TONE button for?

hummer,
Tone isn't a button, it's just a label.
When you push the Auto button, it becomes de-activated because the tone sliders have been moved to where Auto thinks they ought to be. When you then move one of the sliders, the button becomes activated again because the sliders are no longer where Auto wants them, and you can push it again to take the sliders back to where it put them the first time.

How can I continuously auto-save and auto-name the JPEG files with a controlled time interval

Hi,
I am newly involved in some Labview projects that out of my knowledge. I am trying to save multiple JPEG images from a live imaging task to a folder in the computer hard disk every certain minutes. I'd like to name these files with the date and time (eg. Img_06012011_1635. jpg).Then, after hours long image capturing, I can have all the image files in a neat order.
My goal is to have the jpg files auto saved and auto-named with the data and time at that moment. I also need to control this waiting time between each savings.
Could you please show me some hints about this? See the vi attached, I know I need to do something on the "write path" part on the up right corner. Thanks!
Solved!

Thanks, Steve. When I built up a path with the date and time info and send them to the WriteJPEG File.vi like you mentioned, it stopped saving any files into the folder. Do you think this is the problem from my while loop?Could you show me if there is any other secret functions that restrains the file saving?
I am planning to save the image files every 30 secs,for example, and then I can have a bunch of jpg files with their unique names after hours long image acquisition.
I appreciate you kindly help!

Would a 347 MB file be slow? Auto save and auto type turn off?

I am doing an art inventory and add jpegs of the art. I don't resize them they range from 750k to 3MB. I guess if it is slowing the program down i should? It currently is 267 rows by about 18 columns.
Thanks in advance.
Oh can I turn off auto save and auto type? That may help. How do I do that?

Done.
Enter Scrip Editor
paste the posted script
File > Save > as Script on the Desktop
Move the script to the folder :
Macintosh HD:Library:Scripts:Folder Action Scripts:
CAUTION, you will be asked to enter your pasword.
Create a folder to do the job. I named mine Normalized. I created mine on the Desktop where it's easy to reach.
Go to :
Macintosh HD:Library:Scripts:Folder Actions:
Double click the alias : Configure Folder Actions
Below the left column, click
navigate to select your new folder
Below the right column, click
select the script image - normalize400.scpt
After that, drag and drop a picture file onto your folder.
The original will be move in the folder Originals (isn’t it original ?)
and a reduced copy 400 x height will be stored in the folder Normalized images.
And now, here is the script :
--{code}
Image - Normalize
This Folder Action handler is triggered whenever items are added to the attached folder.
The script rotates the image counter-clockwise (left).

Auto keyframe and auto transition not working

auto keyframe and auto transition not working and I have a creative cloud, in addition the auto keyframe works in the getting startel lessons....

In order to use these you need to have the autokey frame and transition selected
OFF ON
and have the first key checked then move the playhead to the new position and it should add the transition.
Did you try this and it is not working?.

HI,
In Message Menu > Preference > Accounts you should at least have the iMessage Account (Which is Enabled) and th Bonjour one that most likely is not.
After that if you had iChat type AIM valid Screen Names or Jabber IDs in an earlier OS then the System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars should list them and have them set to be used with Messages.
There is a vague chance that you have not set these up yet (you can do it in Messages or Mail, Contacts and Calendars)
Once you have a t least one other "Account" other than th iMessage one in Messages then the Buddy List option will appear next to CMD and 1 in the Window menu list.
NEXT
If you go to the General Section of the Messages Preferences you can unlink several Buddy lists if you have them (By default they are shown as one gathered Buddy list)
I Have several Accounts logged in (AIM valid and Jabber ones)

And I separate them in to individual lists which then gives me this in the Window Menu

Hi
you can try ith BADI

You can replace screen variant bbp_search_sc with your user defined screen variant YBBP_SEARCH_SC in the method of get_screenvariant_search.
Hope that you got it.

Auto Exposure and Auto Levels

I have yet to figure out if it is possible to apply both auto exposure and levels to multiple images, and I do not mean lifting and stamping the same settings. If not this is #1 on my wish list.

I initially thought this was a glaring omission from the beginning. However, these auto functions have such unpredictable effects on images that they really do need individual application and review anyway. Not being able to batch apply them just enforces good practice going image by image so that one doesn't wind up with a bunch of badly adjusted images. Adjusting similar images with lift and stamp is more prudent though deserving of individual review as well.

Auto-Save and Auto-Recovery

I hope the is a differnence between auto-save (as listed in you document properties) and Auto-Recovery (as set in Prefs). I would like some "protection" but I don't want flash saving over my file unless I tell it to save. I got burn last night while "experimenting" and and did a "revert" only to find that flash had saved over my file, what a pain. I went to find the "recovery" file only to not find one anywhere. My search on the net are conflicted with wheather or not these 2 features are the same. In my case both items where checked and both set to 10min (the default). soooo....
Please tell me that Auto-Recovery is different, is that it doesn't save over my file, ie it keeps a real back-up someplace, AND where i can find this "recovery" file. ?
This feature seems strange, why not do a std auto back-up to a user selected number of versions in a user selected location ?
Thanks
Joel

Thanks. After poking around for a while I kinda figured this out. I was just glad to find out I could get some kind of "back-up" function from Auto Recovery, because "Auto Save" is a nightmare. I can't understand where anyone would want to use this feature at all. Anything that saves over what your working on before your ask for the file to be saved is looking for trouble. I found it out the hard way. I had "auto Save" on and after messing around trying a few different things, none of which worked or I liked, I thought I would simply close and re-open the original file only to find "auto save" had saved over my original file. I can't see any place where this feature would be anything but a pitb. If they want a auto save feature it should be saving versions of the original (up to a user specified number of instances) in the seperate folder. Never under any curcumstances should the original file be saved over unless the users presses SAVE. Auto recovery would be more useful if it didn't erase everytime you restarted the app. Flash needs to look at the back-up and versioning systems that AE and PPro use.
It's one of those things that bother you about the whole "suite" concept. Adobe owns all these apps and while some of them do play well together to an extent, for the most part it is still a collection of indiviuals. While there have been some changes to get the "look" of the apps to be close, the actual functioning of the UI in the differnt apps isn't where it needs to be. There needs to be a Suite "czar" that makes all the apps do std UI things the same using the same keys etc. for example AE, PPro, Flash, Photoshop, fireworks, all use different keys to zoom in/out or of your image/stage/comp/viewer/monitor window ie main workspace or to enable the mouse "wheel" for zooming. PPro still refuses to use the spacebar to toggle the hand tool like every other "suite app". anyway. a std system for back-up and versioning is need across the suite.
thanks
Joel
