Best way to make B & W photos?

Hi,
There are two ways to make black and white photos and
I am wondering if either is better than the other.
They are:
1. Shot the color shot and have iphoto turn it into
a b & w shot.
2. Set the camera, a Canon Rebel XT, to shoot the
photo as a B & W shot.
I have not had time to test these methods in a
methodical way. From what I have seen, when iPhoto
converts a color shot into a b & W shot, it hasnt
looked too impressive. Sort of bland.
On the other hand, using the camera to shoot in b & w
mode seems to produce more expressive shots.
Is this what others have found? Or is iPhoto better
at converting color shots into b & w and I am just
doing it wrong?
Thanks,
Rereading my post (and noticing no replies) I hope I didnt come off as a jerk. When I wrote I didnt have time to do research on these methods, I meant that, I just got the camera, and am leaving for Hong Kong in 2 days. So I need advice on the best way to shoot black and white photos using the Canon Rebel. Camera or iphoto?

MBP 2011 - Best way to make it behave like Mac Mini ?

I have a 26" NEC monitor I like and use for photo editing. I come from the Windows world. Late last year I bought a Mac Mini, hooked it up to my monitor and was getting used to OS X. Then my mini was stolen.
I recently replaced the stolen mac-mini with a 2011 13" MacBookPro i7 2.7, thinking I could hook it up to my NEC monitor like the mac mini, but I'm finding it's not really like that. It's more of a dual display setup that I'm finding awkward.
How can I make the external monitor be the main screen with dock and menu bar ?
Display settings are kind of primitive in this regard.
I can drag firefox from the MBP screen to the external screen, but the menu bar stays on the MBP. It's kinda weird. Moving the mouse back and forth isn't so fluid due to vast difference in resolution between the two screens.
Then there's the battery issue. If I leave the AC plugged in all the time, I read that isn't a good thing for battery life. It is however, convenient once in a while to pickup the MBP and carry it about the house.
What's the best way to make the MBP behave like a mini?

Thank you for the KB article, it helped.
The key is to have the power AC adapter plugged in on the MBP. Then, when it wakes from sleep after closing the lid the attached display becomes the one and only display with Dock and Menu bar up top. Otherwise, in battery mode, wake from sleep is a complete disaster. This clamshell mode seems to be very stubborn in battery mode. It wakes up, monitor flickers, goes back to sleep. Press a key to wake it up again and it just keeps going in a circle, like ground hog day and I never get to actually use the MBP.

What is the best way to back up my photos?

My time machine has not backed up my computer for several months and the external hard drive no longer works or turns on. I have over 20,000 photos that I need to back up. What is the best way to make sure I don't loose them. Do I need a another external hard drive? What brand? How much storage? Thanks for an expert advice out there!

You should always back up any and all information you cannot afford to loose, or simply do not wish to loose. So, yes, if your backup drive is dead, you should replace it, a.s.a.p. Having an up to date backup is your only guarantee of recovering your files should your computer develop problems.
Ideally, get the biggest drive you can afford, but at least 2-3 times your hard drive size on your iMac. The larger the TM drive, the further back in time you will be able to keep backups.
There are lots of good drives available - I have a WD mybook 1TB USB2 drive as my current TM drive and it has worked flawlessly since I got it in 2009. Other world computing (http://eshop.macsales.com) also sells some great drives - I have one of their Mercury Elite Pro's (also 1TB) and it has been superb as well.

I am moving from PC to Mac. My PC has two internal drives and I have a 3Tb external. What is best way to move the data from the internal drives to Mac and the best way to make the external drive read write without losing data

Paragon even has non-destriuctive conversion utility if you do want to change drive.
Hard to imagine using 3TB that isn't NTFS. Mac uses GPT for default partition type as well as HFS+

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.

I liek your idea of having multiple images in a grid. I think
that would be the best bet as you mentioned. Having one big picture
would be hard to distinguish the sub-areas with mouse coordinates.
I think checking the coordinates for the mouse would be very
tedious because I would have to check for the left boundary, the
right, top, and bottom for each sub-area!
What do you mean by using button components and reskinning.
Is this simply using buttons and changing the way they look? I'm
just trying to save time and memory, because if I had a 10 by 10
grid, thats a hundred buttons. Wouldn't that slow down the machine
alot? And for that matter wouldn't having a grid of 10 by 10 images
also by the same deal?
Thanks for the input, I'm just trying to find the most
efficient way to do it.

Best way to make a Constant Power Load

What would be the best way to make a load that always draws the same amount of power whatever the voltage on it. For exemple, an load would draw 100 mA at 24 VDC, 150 mA at 18 VDC and 200 mA at 12 VDC. All I found is to use Nonlinear Dependant source.
Any easier way to do this? Thanks.

Sorry about the file mix up, I was anxious to get it posted for you that I failed to realize you were using a different version.
As far as the last "amplifier" in your Leaky Feeder design, I actually hooked it up to the 24VDC supply on the left and this was a direct connect before the first resistor. I realize this is not what would be ideal for your application as probably you have only a certain place in the Leaker Feeder to tap off from. I would suppose this would be going into a different entry way off the main entry at an intersection so I do not know how my adjusting the placing of this would effect the results because it seems to me by doing this I have bypassed a bunch resistance in the Feeder cable itself (if that is what the resistors represent) and also bypassed a number of amplification stages in the process as well.
I will post a picture of my circuit for you to examine and try in Version 9. This is the only thing I could come up with to where the power draw was the same no matter what the voltage input was. The only thing I can see as a drawback is that with this circuit the current remains constant but the voltage fluctuates. If I use a 24V regualtor and drop the input voltage to 12V the current remains at approx 118ma but the voltage drops to 12V when I plug it into your circuit.. I will let you try it and see what you may be able to do with it.

What is the best way to make a clickable grid

What would be the best way to make a clickable area that can
differentiate between discrete parts of the area when clicked on.
In other words, instead a having multiple buttons in a row that the
user can click on, is there a way to have an area that has lines to
distinguish the different areas(buttons) but that acts as though
there were multiple consecutive buttons?
For example, if I wanted to graphically simulate the buttons
on a phone but without using buttons. Instead use some kind of grid
or area that is divided into multiple sub areas that can
distinguish the discrete positions (each button on the phone, or
sub-area).
Thank you,
Salchichasa

What's the best way to transfer 11,000 photo's from my old mac to my new one?

What's the best way to transfer 11,000 photo's on iphoto to iphoto on my new mac. I've just spent 24 hours importing them onlu for it to say there is not enough space available - BUT I'VE JUST BOUGHT AN NEW UPGRADED MAC?

Don't import them.
To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

What is best way to make disk backup of CS5 downloaded installation?

Hi,
We purchased the downloadable version of the CS5 Production Premium installer rather than waiting 2 weeks to receive it in box form.
What do you suggest is the best way to make a backup of the downloaded installers, which total about 13.8 gigs? I was thinking of putting the main one on a dual layer DVD-R but the biggest file is 9.23 gb's, nearly a gig over the data limit for dual layer disks. Is it possible to use Toast to split a disk image over multiple files or use Apple Disk Utility to compress the .dmg even further to fit? Or perhaps is the easiest way to just copy it over to a USB thumb drive?
I know Adobe allows you to re-download the software whenever needed, but it would be more handy for us to have a backup here rather than wait for another really long download...
Suggestions?
Thanks!

You can buy a set of backup disks from Adobe for a nominal fee. You might want to give them a call and ask about it.
Otherwise, just back it all up to an external drive.

What is the best way to make a program fit different monitor resoultions?

In our lab all our test stations have 1280x1024 resoultion monitors. In the "other lab" all the test station monitors are 1440x900 resoultion.
Now I am tasked with making my programs run on the test stations in the other lab. I have tried setting the options "maintain proportions of windows for different monitor resoultions" and "Scale all object on front panel as the windows resizes" and of course neither one of these options really does what I would expect it to do.
What is the best way to make programs fit different monitor resoultions?

J-M wrote:
I resize the Front Panel when the program start to fit the monitor resolution. After that, I use the "SBE_Determine If Screen Resized.vi" from TomBrass (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Resizing-controls-on-a-tab-control-within-a-pane/td-p/1520244 ). This vi is very useful if you don't want to monopolize the CPU with the "Panel Resize" event.
I don't like this function for a couple reasons. First for the example you don't need any custom code to handle the window resizing, just use a couple splitters. Even if you did need to handle the resize, you only resize after the mouse is up after the resize which is not how normal Windows programs work they resize as the mouse moves. So I modified the VI to resize objects as you resize the window. Then because doing this can generate 100 events very quickly, I use a boolean in a shift register to make sure that we only handle the resize event if there is no new resize events after 0ms. This essentially makes a lossy queue and handles the last resize event.
