Best method to make alignment correction

Hi,
I'm a newbie here. I'm working on some report and I would like some gurus could give me a hint on Oracle Apps report for changing cosmetic update (eg: alignment, sizing and etc) as I cannot run it on my local environment.
Last time when I can run on local then I can generate the report output and from there to do minor adjustment on the outlook.
For Oracle Apps report, I couldn't do it as I need to compile those report into the Report Server and when I generate the output it cannot be change from there.
It is very troublesome for me to change one minor part then move to server to compile and regenerate to view the output for further correction.
Any gurus can give me some suggestion on what could be the best way either I can run Oracle Apps report on local to make changes or is there anyway I can change or create those report in an easier method?
Thank you.

Chris,
> Well, do you need to save the whole concept?
No. That's my point. If users had access to a simple range of profiles that addressed Kgen and TIL, then the entire Custom thing could probably be tossed.
> A full profile creator tool is, well, a bit beyond Photoshop's scope.
Agreed.
> Or do you mostly need to take existing standard profiles and modify the black generation and total ink limit?
Yes, I think that would satisfy the needs of most users. Particularly the ones who are stuck on Custom CMYK.
> And does that have to work for any profile, or just well formed (maybe even Adobe only) profiles?
Just the basics to start with. The Adobe defaults (GRACol, SWOP, FOGRA.) A printer who goes to the expense and effort of having his own press profiled could very easily cook a couple more profiles of different GCR levels and offer those to his clients (if he felt it worthwhile.)
Of course, there is debate over the value of fussing over variable GCR in light of tighter press calibration. (I think it's still of value.) However, whether real or not, there is a perceived need by a good chunk of the market for the ability to manipulate GCR. The ability to choose (as opposed to manipulate) is just as good.
As prepress work gets pushed further upstream, away from the printer and into the design and photography studio, the availability of tools is key to making everyone a little bit happier.

  • What's the best method to make an appointment book?

    I have to make a simple appointment book program. Start/end time, and appointment within the start/end time. My first idea was to use ArrayList, but if someone knows of an easier or simpler way, it'd be a great help.

    General pointers:
    You can do your validations as soon as the user enters the dates.
    There are a variety of approaches for storing the appointment information and the one chosen will depend on the functional requirements of your program. Some options include creating an Appointment class that stores start and end dates, as well as information about the event.
    (e.g.
    public class Appointment{
    private Date startTime;
    private Date stopTime;
    public Appointment(){
    public setStartTime(Date d){...}
    public setStopTime(Date d){...}
    You can store a collection of Appointment objects in any Collections implementation e.g. ArrayList, LinkedList etc. and then search as needed for start and stop times.
    You can also separately store the start and stop times as keys in two HashMap<Date,Collection> with each Appointment that start/stops on the date as the values (in a Collection)
    (E.g.
    /*Check that there is a Collection object associated with the Date object and
    store it.*/
    //Some where in your code you might have:
    HashMap<Date,Collection> myStartAppointments = new HashMap<Date, Collection>();
    /*Elsewhere*/
    if ((c = myStartAppointments.get(someDate)) != null) {
    c.add(newAppointment); //or whatever
    else{
    c = new ArrayList();
    c.add(newAppointment);
    myStartAppointments.put(someDate,c);
    )To save memory, you might also want to use the Date reference as both the key in the HashMap<Date,Collection> and the instance variable within the Appointment object.
    (E.g.
    //replace the else{...} with
    else {
    /*Use the same reference within the Appointment object and HashMap.*/
    c = new ArrayList();
    newAppointment.setStartDate(someDate);
    c.add(newAppointment);
    myStartAppointments.put(someDate,c);
    }You could actually also remove the Date instance variables entirely from the Appointment class and just depend on your HashMap<Date,Collection> objects.
    Of course there are a variety of other approaches, but this can get you started.

  • Best Methods for Time, Tempo and Rhythm Alignment?

    Hello All, I am looking to edit some lengthy jams to concise segments. I wish to mix and match audio tracks (ex. drum section from begining with bass section in middle with guitar section at end). No metronome was used, so while the general structure (melody and rhythm) remained similar, tempos vary so that the parts don't match up perfectly. I know Logic has some pretty powerful time-based editing capabilities through its flex mode, but i am confused where the logical starting point would be for my situation. Do you think it would be to first chop up segments, pick a q-reference, set a global tempo, stretch or compress segments, and then individually correct any remaining rhythm alignment issues? What do you think are the best methods to accomplish this? I hope my questions are clear - if not please tell me. Thanks to anyone who cares and can help!

  • What is the best method for backing up photos in IPhoto?

    I have over 10,000 photos in IPhoto and am looking for the best method for doing a backup (or an archive?).  I'm now using ICloud and it appears it's just photo streaming and does not have storage capability. External hard drive, copying to a DVD, other suggestions?

    Most Simple Back Up
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex:
    Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
    My Routine
    My Library lives on my iMac. It’s Backed up to  two external hard disks every day. These disks are permanently attached to the iMac. These back ups run automatically. One is done by Time Machine, one is a bootable back up done by SuperDuper
    It’s also backed up to a portable hard disk when ever new photos are added. This hard disk lives in my car. For security, this disk is password protected.
    I have a second off-site back up at a relative’s house across town. That’s updated every 3 or 4 months.
    My Photos are backed up online. There are many options: Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug etc. However, check the terms of your account carefully. While most sites have free uploading, you will often find that these uploads are limited in terms of the file size or the bandwidth you can use per month. For access that allows you to upload full size pics with no restrictions you may need to pay.
    Every couple of months I test the back ups to make sure they are working correctly. It’s very easy to mis-configure a back up application, and the only way to protect against that is to do a trial restore.

  • Best Method To Organize (move) Messages (many Mailboxes to one)

    I'm working on reorganizing my Mail messages from unique Mailboxes for certain topics (or senders) to having my messages in Mailboxes by year. Then use Smart Mailboxes to view what I need.
    Before I start moving around a lot of messages, I want to make sure what I'm doing will work and not cause any unforeseen side effects.
    Right now, I have many (20 or more) Mailboxes that I use to organize all the mail I get. What I want to do is move all my messages from last year (2013) into one new Mailbox.
    Here's the method I thought I'd use:
    Create a Smart Mailbox > Date Range > 1/1/2013 to 12/31/2013
    That should effectively show me all mail messages received last year.
    Create a new Mailbox called Mail 2013
    Drag all the messages in the above Smart Mailbox into Mail 2013.
    My understanding is that this will move all the messages I received in 2013 (which are currently sitting in many different Mailboxes on my Mac) into the newly created Mail 2013 Mailbox. The Smart Mailbox (with the 2013 date range) will still show all the same messages, since it doesn't matter where the messages are located.
    Am I correct?
    Is this the best method for doing this? Moving messages from many Mailboxes into a few Mailboxes that contain any and all messages within a specific date range.

    Hi;
    My first question is your ASM cant be mount to your new box? If answer yes than Just create same path,same hostname&Ip for new server(Unplog your existing server cable) than just open your new server and open db.
    You may also go wiht RMAN(Even you go wiht clone process you need to use RMAN due to do usage of ASM)

  • Best method to seamlessly swap someone's face in a group photo with their face in another photo?

    A band hired me to do a photoshoot of them and it was my first time shooting a band professionally so I was and still am quite nervous about the photos turning out well, especially since they're a well known group and the pictures will be published in a magazine and spread around a lot and attributed to me.  The issue I'm posting here about is that all of the best shots I got of the group are good except for one member who will either be making a weird expression or has their eyes closed.  I took a lot of photos but I didn't really get any where each member of the group looks good in the same photo; they each look good throughout the set of photos, just not all at once in one photo.  What I'd like to do is replace that member's face in the otherwise good photo with her face from another photo from the shoot where her eyes aren't closed or she has a better expression...but I feel like I'm playing with fire by doing this since I really don't want it to be obvious that I photoshopped it in any way, either to the band or anyone who views the photos later on.
    I'm decent with Photoshop but I'd still like to know what the best method of doing this would be so that it looks as natural/unaltered as possible.  Any suggestions?
    Also, the photos I'd be switching the faces in were mostly shot from the same angle and with the same lighting and exposure but a few were shot from slightly different angles or the exposure is slightly different, which makes it more difficult.  If, for example, due to flash settings the photo I'm trying to paste a face into (let's call it Photo A) is slightly brighter than the photo I'm trying to copy the face from (Photo B), what's the best way to merge/adjust the two so that the brightness levels in Photo A and the layer from Photo B are as similar as possible?
    (I'm using PS CS6)

    Ideally, if you have several shots from the same place, with that band member's head in a similar angle, you could do something like this:
    1.  Choose the Polygonal lasso tool.
    2.  Set it to feather a few pixels.
    3.  Select around the facial features in the image with the good face.
    4.  Paste the good face on the otherwise good background and move it into position over the bad face.
    5.  Set it to be partially transparent to help you align it.  Use Edit - Free Transform to rotate or scale it if it's off a little.
    6.  Make it fully opaque, and use Curves, etc. to perfectly match the exposure, if it's off a little.
    Clearly you can do this with the mouth, eyes, whole face, etc.

  • Best method for backing up macbook air?

    Please tell me what would be the best method to back up my macbook air?

    Yes, this i know, Since I have nearly 100 HD laying around, when I clone my system, its bootable, and the second HD becomes the defacto recovery
    at the very worst, you can reload the OS online.       But yes, youre correct, but Superduper is FREE, and CCC surely isnt.
    as a "clone it all" option, Superduper is great for HD upgrading and emergency backup for laptop HD.  Since laptops HD are prone to failure (not SSD as in the AIR), keeping a cloned backup is a great idea.
    But yes, your right, ......I consider a second cloned HD a "recovery HD", ......but not in the sense you imply.......  
    An ERROR that both superduper and CCC make in a CLONE, however, is they write the BOOT FILES in a diff. location, so if you install the replacement HD after a crash, it will (not 1st time which is always slow) cause slightly slower startup from poweron.......in which case you have to reinstall the OS on the CLONE...........that IS if you care that much about a few extra seconds boot time on your replacement cloned HD.
    But LION and MOUNTAIN LION systems *also* have "Network Recovery", which can download and install without a recovery volume.

  • What is the best way to make a DVD from iMovie

    What is the best way to make a DVD from iMovie?
    I am using iMovie 06 (Naturally) with iDVD 08. I have always used;
    iMovie 06, File > Share to iDVD 08. And got pretty good results.
    Some say the best way is to quit iMovie 06, open iDVD and import the movie from the Media button.
    I have tried both methods in the results look the same. I'm interested in getting the very best quality possible.

    You likely have one of the most expensive media converter boxes on the market today.
    But does it work well with most macs? (my guess is that it does). But more specifically can it "handshake" with an intel based mac? I personally haven't tried it.
    But you may want to read this for yourself if you haven't already:

    Assuming it works then the best format is .dv which this unit will support apparently.

  • What is the best way to make a photo look like a painting in CS5 ?

    I'd like to convert a photo into an oil painting, can you suggest the best method to do this in CS5? I'd also like to do pencil drawings as well.

    I didn't follow any tutorial.  It's not hard, though - just do as I mentioned with the Mixer Brush Tool.
    Make a transparent layer over the original image (I'd suggest upsampling it some), then call up the Mixer Brush Tool, choose a bristle brush, and set it to Sample All Layers.  Fool with the settings until it mixes for you in a way that you can make nice smooth strokes over the original.  You'll be picking up color from the photo underneath and smearing it around on the top layer.  If part of it doesn't come out the way you like, just erase it.  Don't set up to use too many bristles; the object isn't smooth perfection, but to show some strokes.
    Here's just a few minutes work with the technique...
    When you're all done you can do things to accentuate the brush strokes, such as create another layer and run the Filter - Stylize - Emboss tool, then set the layer mode to Overlay blending.  This gives the image some texture...
    The only way to really get to know the Mixer Brush is to experiment with it.  Find settings that allow you to do what you want easily.  Fool with it until it yields!
    Have fun!

  • Best Method of Transferring From Old Mac to New Mac

    I've got a 27" iMac on order that's supposed to ship sometime in early January, and am wondering what is the best method of transferring everything from this Mac to the new one (once it arrives)?
    As I understand it, there are essentially three ways of doing this:
    Migration Assistant
    Setup Assistant
    Time Machine
    I've got two user accounts on this Mac, and will need to transfer everything for both accounts. I have about 350GB worth of files, data, and applications to transfer.
    Is one of the above methods better than the others for accomplishing this? Are there any "gotchas" I should be aware of before moving everything over?
    Advice and assistance is welcomed.

    The easiest method is to use Setup Assistant that automatically starts the first time you use a new Mac. It will offer you the opportunity to migrate all users or just those you select.
    Mike Osborn wrote:
    ... Are there any "gotchas" I should be aware of before moving everything over?
    If you do not use Setup Assistant, you can always use Migration Assistant later. However, this can easily become confusing if you already created a user account on the new Mac. Most people won't have the patience to use Setup Assistant and understandably want to use their new Mac right away. If you elect to do that, don't create an account with the same name as one you wish to migrate. Instead, create a user account that you plan to erase after you migrate your existing accounts. The reason is that if you create a brand new account named, for example, "Mike Osborn", you will be unable to migrate to another account with that name.
    Use a wired connection. Wireless can take an unacceptable amount of time (days).
    Don't create a brand new Apple ID either. Have your existing Apple ID and password ready and use it, so you don't make the mistake of creating an Apple ID with no pedigree.
    Register your new Mac (and all your other Apple equipment, if you have not yet done so) using this link:
      https://supportprofile.apple.com/
    This provides for a convenient database of all your Apple equipment's serial numbers, service history, and warranty eligibility.

  • After load the pdf in this program, what commands must follow to make the correction (edit),

    if you use
    http://www.doc2pdf.net/
    you can convert doc >> pdf.
    I did try with some samples of files but, in some pages where a subheading is in eg page45, in pdf moved to page44, well to modify the pdf so is exact alignment like doc I must use ACROBAT? Well, conversions from this site must done non-restrict modify the pdf? well since I have Acrobat Pro 9, after load the pdf in this program, what commands must follow to make the correction (edit), and save the file?

    Unfortunately, for your endeavor, PDF is not a file format that supports edit-layout-format activities such as are in word processors.
    Not an "issue" - rather, it reflects what PDF was/is designed to be.
    While minor editing ("touchups") are possible extensive editing of PDF content is not.
    What you appear to have encounterd with the process used to convert something to PDF is something that happens rather too often.
    That is, many non-Adobe PDF creation processes to not provide "proper" PDF.
    Which is to say PDF built to the Adobe PDF References or, now, the ISO Standard for PDF (32000-1:2008).
    As you have Acrobat Pro perhaps using it to convert the document's authoring file to PDF via print to Distiller or via Adobe PDFMaker is something to consider. These convert to PDF per the PDF References/ISO Standard.
    Be well...

  • Best method for secure Internet ?????

    OK,
    So I wasn't sure where to put this post, so I figured I would start with the system I am using and go from there.
    The Problem:
    I am trying to set up a secure method in which I can use Internet services as I make my way from non-secure places throughout the day studying for school. In any given day I might find myself at 3-5 different locations, studying. I often have my computer with me and would like to be able to use it it without the worries of open line surfing.
    I have read (not completely understood) the VPN concept and think that it might provide what it is I am looking for.
    Before I went spending the money for an aftermarket plan that provides me a VPN, I thought I would look into setting up my own VPN off of my home connection. Although I am not sure if all I need is an internet line (IP Address) - or do I need an actual computer connected to the Internet at home.
    I might be completely wrong here in my thoughts of using the VPN, so please provide any thoughts or suggestions.
    Brief Recap:
    We have a MBP & iBook G4. We would like to be able to use either of them when we are out in public non-secure areas. Is there a way - and if yes, What is the best method to use to make this happen.
    Thanx,

    Qanuk,
    VPN provides a method of connecting to a home or business network securely. From some remote location, VPN creates a secure "Tunnel" whereby you can join your home network and use network resources. This would allow you to "share" files, printers, etc. between computers not just on your network locally, but across the internet, regardless of where you are connected.
    If your intention is not to share your network's resources across the internet, but to "surf" normally, you don't need to use VPN. With normal internet use, you are already as secure as you need to be. It is true that there is a potential for "snooping" inherent in using open wireless networks, but this is only a potential, not a real problem.
    The question is, "what will someone else be able to find?" Well, if you send an email, there is a potential that someone could intercept that email and read it. Big deal. There is also the possibility that someone could determine what websites you are visiting. Again, big deal.
    In order to do this "snooping," that someone would have spend a great deal of resources and time learning to use the tools necessary to do this snooping, then spend the time using them while you are on the same network. Why would someone do this in order to collect very mundane information from you? It's just not going to happen.
    Now, in any cases where you might actually be transmitting data useful to a "snooper," such as the transmission of credit card information, you will undoubtedly be doing so using a secure browser connection. In such cases, a secure connection is made between your browser and the server to which you are connected (your bank's server, the retailer's server, etc.). No snooping is possible in these cases.
    As for your computer, itself, you are protected by the best firewall in the industry. No one is going to be able to "hack" your computer while you are connected to the same network, as long as you have your firewall turned on, and especially if you have no running services.
    In short, you are already as secure as you need to be; surf away.

  • How to check which is th best method to use in LSMw and the file

    Hi all,
    I am new to LSMW,
    Can know me when i get the file , how to check the which is the Best method ( Batch input, Direct input,BAPI, IDOC)  have to use in LSMW .
    How to check the input file is completely filled and how to check whether it is correct and also how to Prevalidation check has to be done fior the file before uploading.
    Can you provide any documents LSMW also Apprecited.
    Regards,
    Madhavi

    Hi Madhavi,
    To check Correctness & completeness of the file:
    1. The input file structure should be same as source structure what you defined whicle creating LSMW.
    2. Check the following steps to assure the field mapping is done correctly.
    a) Maintain field mapping & conversion rule
    b) Check 'Display Read data'
    c) Check ' Display Converted data''
    Please note LSMW is a tool, which will simply upload the data whatever you are providing. So you need to be careful while making your file and validate it outside SAP ( before upload start)

  • Best method for incremental replication to backup xserve?

    I was just trying to figure out what would be the best method for routinely incrementally replicating a primary xserve. I have a secondary that has the same hardware. I thought about using scheduled tasks with Carbon Copy Cloner over say a Crossover cable to the secondary xserve. However, doing this backup would continually wipe out the network settings for the secondary mac? I could do the replication to a secondary drive and then just make that drive the boot drive in the event of data corruption on the master server?
    Where I'm at now is that the primary server runs Raid1, so in the event of a single drive failure or a hardware failure, I could swap the drives into the backup server. However, I'd like some sort of protection against data corruption on the primary xserve.
    Any general thoughts on a better way to do this? Or is there software that does this well?
    Thanks

    Our primary is an XServe RAID. In addition it has an external 2TB drive that I CCC all the user accounts to every night. I then setup a Mac Mini Server as a replica.
    If the primary XServe has a catastrophic failure, I simply connect the 2TB drive to the Mac Mini and point the replicated user accounts to the cloned data on the 2TB drive.
    I haven't tested it. But this scenario seemed like the best solution.

  • Best method for refreshing a component's data?

    What's better when you want to refresh the content of an object? Should you just replace your JComponent with an entirely new one, or should you try to get access to the data and then remove the items and then re-add them.
    In my example, I have a JTree and am not sure which would be the best method to use. Should I try to remove all the nodes, or sometimes I think it would be easier to just remove the tree component from my panel, create a new tree and re-populate it?
    Thanks for any advice.

    Hello.
    As Jim so rightly points out above, you do not need to do anything.
    Just use your normal 16:9 widescreen footage, and author as normal.
    Your player will letterbox automatically when it is connected to a 4:3 screen in setup (just make sure "Pan & Scan" is not also there)
