Best settings for book order

What color settings are best when ordering Aperture 3 books?  I want to prevent photos that are printed too dark.  Last year, Apple advised calibrating to 2.2 gamma setting.  cr

zasa:
Use the largest file, pixel wise, that you can. The books are printed at 300 dpi so the largest size the better to insure you'll get as close to that dpi for the largest page picture possible.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using on Mac?
    Export your Timeline content to a .mp4 file, using export settings which have been customized under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the export's preset.
    See Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD and .mp4 category. The exported file is then uploaded to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
    If you post the properties of your source video and project settings, I will suggest the settings for the Timeline content export to file saved to the computer
    hard drive for upload to YouTube at the YouTube web site.

  • Need advise on best settings for FCP 7!

    I am looking for some advice on the best settings for FCP 7 when I am syncing sound using pluraleyes, exporting into quicktime as one file and then importing that new file into FCP 7 for editing. I have noticed that sometimes my Quicktime files are very large (20 gb) and sometimes they are much smaller (130 MB), but I never changed the settings.
    I am working on FCP 7 and shot using my Panasonic GH3 at 24 fps (which comes to 23.98). My frame size is 1920x1080. Compressor is H.264. Data rate: 8.6 MB/sec. Audio rate: 48.0 KHz.  I have heard that FCP 7 does not properly deal with H.264. So, I am wondering, what should my settings be?  Should I set to "Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) 1920x1080 24p 48 kHz"?  Is there anything I need to know when I export to Quicktime 7 Pro in order to not reduce the quality of the video? Should I be changing my video files first before I even start to work on them?
    I haven't edited in almost ten years so I am desperate need of some guidance!
    Final Cut Pro 7, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

    Hi Shane Ross,
    Thanks for your help.  So, I already synced all of my interviews in FCP 7 (using pluraleyes) before I changed the video to ProRess 422.  Can I just go into FCP (in the same project) and compress the video footage, import the new video files and throw it into the timeline? Or will this cause issues? I tried this as a test and it seems to be okay but I just want to check that there aren't any issues that I am not considering.
    Also, when I do compress, it seems to take forever (sometimes two hours). Is there any way to make this move along faster?
    Thanks so much!

  • Best Settings for N Only Network.

    I am trying to create an N only network with an AirPort Extreme 802.11n router. What are the best settings to use? Here is what I currently have. Also, just bought a previous generation MacBook Pro (one right before the new glass screen ones, do I need to use the N enabler?).
    802.11n only (5 ghz)
    Channel: Automatic
    Security: WPA2
    Multicast Rate: 6 mbps
    Use wide channels is selected.
    Thank you.

    I am trying to create an N only network with an AirPort Extreme 802.11n router. What are the best settings to use?
    Are you looking for the best settings for speed or overall speed and security?
    For speed:
    o 802.11n only (5 GHz)
    o Wide-channel enabled
    o Channel: <Will depend if there are other 5 GHz Wi-Fis or interference nearby. In that case, you can choose a different channel by holding down the Option key before making the selection in the AirPort Utility.>
    o Security: None
    o Multicast Rate: This determines the minimum bandwidth that a device must achieve in order to connect to the router. To eliminate slower devices, use the highest value possible.
    For speed & security:
    The same settings as above with Security set to WPA2 Personal

  • Best Settings for Audigy 2 ZS Recording Out to S-VHS or DVD Recor

    I?m recording some very machine intensi've video & sound to outboard devices. I'm using these outboard devices so that the recording process itself does not impact the demonstration performance.
    Concerning the sound out, I?m using the line & 2 out of the card, and running it through a pro level audio board (Mackie) for any adjustments & monitoring before taking the line out of the board into the recording device. When returning the sound for monitoring, I?m also running from the external device directly to the board and directly from there to either headphones or control room monitors. Thus, I?m using the Audigy for initial sound generation. So far, I've not really made any ajustments at the board other than level or balance. I like to keep things pretty flat in recording.
    I?ve looked around for recommendations as to the best settings for the Audigy card from its internal software for this situation, but find no ready reference. My concern is that I have the ?hottest? signal from this device, while being very concerned with audio quality. I?m looking for both ?punch? and ?clarity? of signal.
    Is there a document or source that would give me this direction? While I can move from this SB card to other more studio based cards, I?d like to keep the demo product in line with what the actual target audience would have in their machines, and be able to replicate at their workstation.
    For example, does the card function best at 00% (0db) output, or 50% (-5db) output?
    Or some setting in between...most likely...
    Or, is there some other setting I?m not aware of?
    I have what I believe are the latest card drivers and software suite, XP Pro, with every possible OS and other machine hardware update available.
    Thanks,
    Rich

  • Best settings for importing to iPod classic

    Have a lot of music on my ipod that I have imported at low quality settings. Am going to take some time re-doing this so would like to know the best settings for the best quality sound. Have plenty of room and would prefer a richer sound rather than more quantity.
    Many thanks.

  • What are the best settings for ripping cd's in the AAC format?

    I have researched and found out that the AAC format rules over the MP3 format as fas as sound quality goes with lossy formats. Example: AAC at 128 is better than MP3 at 160 as so forth. My questions are: What are the best settings for ripping cd's in the AAC format? Will I be able to burn cd mixes with the tracks I import into itunes after importing using the AAC format? Does the AAC format have VBR like the MP3 format? Is there other ripping software such as dbPoweramp and Exact Audio Copy that does a better job ripping cd's in the AAC format? Please help!

    It is a matter of opinion, but I suggest 256 kb/s, CBR, and leave all other settings on automatic.
    Will I be able to burn cd mixes with the tracks I import into itunes after importing using the AAC format?
    Yes. Just put them in a playlist and burn.
    Does the AAC format have VBR like the MP3 format?
    Yes. You will see it as an option in the Import Settings.
    Is there other ripping software such as dbPoweramp and Exact Audio Copy that does a better job ripping cd's in the AAC format?
    EAC does a better job of correcting errors in damaged CDs, but for normal CDs iTunes does a fine job of ripping to AAC.

  • Best settings for desktop i7?

    I installed After Effects CC 2014 on a computer with i74790k, Radeon 6850 and 8 GB of RAM.
    The program runs smoothly but it makes Windows 8.1 a bit unresponsive, for example opening and closing folders take longer, also browsing files, opening the start menu, etc.
    What are the best settings for decent editing and desktop stability?

    Check your memory and multiprocessing settings. The RAM reserved for other applications probably needs to be higher.

    Minimun requirements according to Adobe:

    According to almost everyone who uses it. The 4GB is the bare minimum for it to run. However, you need more than 8 for it to run well. I'd consider 16 as a minimum for it to run well, but considering how cheap and easy it is to upgrade RAM, I'd put more than that in your system if possible.

  • Best Settings for Exporting DVD Footage in a Movie File

    Hello,
    I've been trying to find the best settings for exporting DVD footage into a movie file from Adobe Premiere CS6.
    I recently have been using my Magnavox DVD recorder for recording VHS tapes that I made long ago for shows and various other things, and no matter what, my footage doesn't come out as it needs to be.
    Here's an example of what I did recently with my own settings:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFV4sT7rHGs
    I'm not expecting HD footage, I know these are tapes, but I'm playing the raw footage on my Xbox 360, and it looks better than this. I had to directly use the VOB files on the DVD for this, as trying to rip the files into an AVI or any other format with a DVD ripper didn't do anything, in fact it degraded the quality and made the audio not play in Premiere.
    So what would be some good settings for exporting a sequence with DVD footage that is from a VHS into a movie file, preferably one that wouldn't degrade the quality?
    Thanks!

    First, read Why not edit mpeg http://tangentsoft.net/video/mpeg/edit.html to get a general idea of why a VOB makes a very poor source file (which is a renamed MPG, with some other stuff like menu screens)
    Also, Read Bill Hunt on editing a VOB/MPG file http://forums.adobe.com/thread/464549
    Once you have a DVD compliant VOB on your timeline, and understanding that a standalone DVD recorder sometimes plays fast-n-loose with "compliance" per the DVD specification, about all you can do is export to standard or widescreen DV AVI and accept the fact that re-encoding an already compressed file is just not going to give great results

  • Best settings for PP mov's?

    Got a few videos SD 720x486 I need to export from FCP 7 (uncompressed timeline) for use in a Powerpoint - what's best settings for PP? mov, h264, audio at 44 or 48k, what? Should we keep them at full 720 size, probably?
    Thanks
    K

    ON a Mac or a PC?
    WMV for the PC but learning how to embed is a function of learning how to use Ppoerpoint, not FCP's tools.
    H.264? Dunno, what does the manual for PP say about compatible movie filetypes?
    If you are handing these movies off to an experience PP producer, they will be able to give precise specs. If your'e doing this yourself, give yourself some extra time to work out the screwups. We have two wiseguys who insist on doing their own PP instead of letting our PP wonks do the jobs. They have never been able to figure out how to embed or link to movies and they do not understand why we tell them to have the movines in the same folder as the PP files.

  • Best Settings for my Dv6-6117dx

    I would like to know the best settings for my Laptop. This would be when I have my headphones in and off. I heard that the sound could be better and i would really appreciate if someone would tell me those settings so i would enjoy the music and other sounds that come out of this laptop

    My settings appear to be the same and I've not had any problems with iPlayer yet.
    1. Ditto
    2. Ditto
    3. Not sure what application you are referring to here, but within iPlayer when you click Options you do NOT get a "Settings" selection. Perhaps you can explain how you got to the "Web Access point" choice?
    My connectivity settings are similar but my default (and priority 1) is my home Wi-Fi/WLAN. So I would think that whenever iPlayer is downloading stuff, it is doing it through my home Wi-Fi.
    And, yes, I also always get the "Allow connection to network" question when I select a programme to watch on iPlayer. Not a problem: takes one click to say yes.

  • Best settings for music collection

    Best settings for keeping your Itunes music collection nice and organized?  I dont like the setting that has 2 sets of folders and 1 of them all folders are empty.

    Depending on how good your headphones are and how good your hearing is different settings will yield acceptable results. The old, years ago, MP3 setting was always 128k. This is generally a decent compromise between file size and audio quality.
    If all devices are iPods the you can get slightly better audio with same size files by using AAC format set to 160k.
