Best Way to Request a Feature (64 bit DNG Converter)?

Noting my findings in this thread that the 64 bit build of Camera Raw (on a multi-core Windows 7 x64 machine) just about halves the time for converting a group of files, and assuming the same performance gains would be seen if the DNG Converter were also built for 64 bit native operation...
What's the most effective way to ask the Camera Raw team nicely for a 64 bit DNG Converter build?
Did this just do it? Or is the answer the same as with Photoshop proper requests, and I should go over to Photoshop.com and write it up?
-Noel

Yep, thanks.
Yammer, I'd suggest writing up a separate request for 64 bit Bridge (or finding one that's already there and adding some stars or whatever to it).
I'd also appreciate it if you folks who feel a 64 bit DNG Converter would be a Good Thing would visit my thread there and give it thumbs up or kudos or whatever it takes to make it rise in the ranking. Personally, I think having the public vote on how to make software is very silly, but there are those in management who feel that trying to please all the people all the time is possible. It's often easier than leadership.

Best way to combine 8-bit and 16-bit image files?

I produce large photographic art prints by combining my own edited 16-bit RAW photo images with 8-bit stock photo images and 8-bit photoshop artwork. I used to just reduce my 16-bit photos to 8-bit and then edit my composite image as 8-bit, but I ran into banding and other problems in the color gradients I created later in my composite image.
I want my composite image to be 16-bit to get more accurate colors and better gradients. What is the best way to bring 8-bit image files into my composition and maintain best quality? Is it good to convert 8-bit images to 16-bit in PS before importing? I also heard about bringing 8-bit images in as Smart Objects? Thanks for any help on this.

*Photonic wrote:
Thanks Jack and Noel. My workflow usually starts w. a 16-bit RAW image brought into Photoshop as the background layer of the master file. Color space is AdobeRGB. Then 8-bit stock photo and art elements (objects) are brought in by dragging the open 8-bit image up to the master image file tab, and then dropping it back into the image window after the file opens.
Should I use the "Paste In" command instead? I usually avoid copy/paste since some of my element files are usually over 100MB and that seems to challenge my Mac after a while.
Could I convert the 8-bit image files prior to import, like Noel suggests (Image>Mode>16bits)? Thanks.
There is no need to convert 8bit open documents to 16bit mode Photoshop will convert the copied layers to 16bit bit during the drag copy. Converting the open document would just increase Photoshop RAM usage every layer pixels bytes used would double in size.
If you element files are over 100MB they are most likely layered files. If all you need is a composite you should avoid using Place for that will needlessly inflate your document size. Instead open the element file create a new layer that is a stamp visible layer (Shift+Alt|Opt+Ctrl|Cmd+E) and drag that layer to you document then close nosave your element file. Copy only copies the targeted layer or there is a Copy Merge that copies the composit merge of all targeted layers. It a bit hard to create an action that would be able to use Copy or Copy Merge. Using the above stamp visible way can be made into an action. You also do not want to drag all the layers to your document if you just need a composit layer.
You could also automate the element file copy with an action.
Action Step 1 Insert menu into File>Open this will be an interactive step you must select a file to open. When the action is played.
Step 2 (Shift+Alt|Opt+Ctrl|Cmd+N) Create a new empty layer This will always work
Step 3 (Shift+Alt|Opt+Ctrl|Cmd+E) stamp visible layers into the new layer
Step 4 (Ctrl|Cmd+A) select all
Step 5 (Ctrl|Cmd+C) Copy
Step 6 Close current document no save
Step 7 (Ctrl|Cmd+P) Paste into the document your working on Photoshop will convert to 16bit if the document is 16bit mode and the clipboard content is 8bit.
When you use Photoshop and do something. Think to yourself how did Photoshop do what you asked it to do. Thing about what is involved what layers must be used etc. How is the feature/function done.

What is the best way to submit a Concurrent Request over a DB Link?

Hi,
We have a requirement to submit a Concurrent Request over a DB Link. What is the best way to do this?
What I've done so far is I've created a function in the EBS instance that executes FND_GLOBAl.APPS_INITIALIZE and submits the Concurrent Request. I then call this function remotely from our NON-EBS database. It seems to work fine but I found out from metalink article id 466800.1 that this is not recommended.

I cannot get itunes to work/install on myPC. I am running windows 8 in a 64 bit machine. I also want to purchase books via itunes for my Nook. Are you deliberately excluding PC owners so we cannot use ituens on our computers???? I have selected a community but have no idea what community I should be working with. Can somone explai these communities to me? Also. you don't allow much time to go thru the sign up process. I had to start over SEVERAL times as you kept timing me out. Jesus...when people are signing up for the first time, we have no idea of the questions that will be asked. Give us a break and give us time to sign up. Not everone is disability free and able to go thru your process quickly...you are NOT user friendly. You should be for people who are wanting to join your community. I used to want an Apple product but now that I have had first hand experience with your web page, I think I will probably stay away from Apple products. VERY DISAPPOINTING

Best way of creating request for a query

hi,
what will be the best process to create the request for the query.
1.go to rsa1-> transport connection -> select query -> select BEx bus-> create the request, then change the query and save
OR
2. change the query first and assign the request in the transport connection
Please help me put.

Hi,
You would get problems when you transport it by the second method, like the Variable might get missed out when you edit the query and save it to the request.
First method through Transport connection is the best way to do it, to make sure all the objects are collected.

Mani

Best way to implement request-response and still reliability

          HI,
          what is the best way to implement a request -response paradigm and still have
          the reliability that message will be 100% processed and give response...do i need
          to create the permanant queues with storage..
          anybody gives suggestions..
          Akhil


Hi Akhil,
          Temporary destinations can only store non-persistent messages
          as per JMS spec - so they are not useful for reliable for holding
          responses that must survive longer than the life of the
          interested client. For persistence, you will need to use configured
          queues or durable subscriptions. For detailed
          discussion of request/response, I suggest reading the "WebLogic JMS
          Performance Guide" white-paper on dev2dev.bea.com. If you
          have many clients, or expect large message back-logs,
          there can be a performance impact when using selectors...
          FYI: There is a new pub/sub subscriber index enhancement
          that is available in 8.1 and
          in the latest service-packs for 6.1, 7.0.
          "Indexing Topic Subscriber Message Selectors To Optimize Performance"
          http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/jms/implement.html#1294809
          This may be useful.

Upgrading to Win 7 64 Bit - best way to save my work?

I'm about to install Win7 64 bit build 7600 to replace my exisiting 32 bit build 7100. I will be installing the full retail version sometime after the first of the year. Thanks to HP making their B9180 printer driver incompatible with the RC version, I can't use my printer - thus the need for this interim step. I'm aware that some people have been able to get the Vista driver to install in the RC, but after half dozen tries doing it different ways, I finally accepted that I was one of those who could not. HP was of absolutely no help refusing to offer support with the win7 beta. Even now that the official driver is available, they won't offer any assistance in working around the build number issue.
The magic question is what is the best way to let LR move or backup ALL my images plus all the keywords and edits that have been done so that when I reinstall LR on the new system, I can get access? Is it as simple as a catalog backup (which I do weekly) to my external drive? I have roughly 20,000 images under one main folder heading with lots of subs. I'm probably overcomplicating something rather simple and routine, but I've never done it, and once I start the reformat process for the install, there's no turning back or undoing any major screwups!
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Vince Pack

Michael, I have moved to 7 - that's the issue. Budgetary issues are preventing me from going out and buying the full retail version until after Christmas, but I still need to print. I feel the need to make the transition to the 64 bit OS since my computer use is primarily image centered, so having access to more than 4GB RAM would be of obvious benefit. Installing build 7600 and the 64 bit OS solves both my need for more RAM and gets me past the HP driver issue.
I also understand the whole "first tier tech support" system. HP is the only company I routinely have this problem with, however. When I buy hardware, I expect at least some support - even though I always expect to have to jump through the whole series of first tier support hoops. My complaint with HP is their tech support seems to be diminishing in quality while most others are trying to improve it. With well over 7 million Windows 7 beta users out here, they need to be equipped with more than a patent "will not be able to answer any questions regarding Windows 7 beta compatibility". Certainly if anyone had been willing to elevate my question to a higher level, I would have been told about the 7600 build requirement which would have alleviated my frustration.
I also understand the whole beta process. I don't actually feel "entitled" to help - only a helpful attitude; which I usually do NOT get from HP. This latest in a series will undoubtedly affect which printer I eventually replace my B9180 with. As Stephen suggests, I certainly do NOT feel compelled to buy one of the computers. My son has an HP laptop, and while the system itself has been stable, it's had a host of hardware failures (HD, Screen, DVD-drive, touchpad). I'm about done with HP in general. Still, my B9180 is a darn good printer and shouldn't need replacement for a while. In the meantime, I just want to use it!

Best Way to Be Alerted to Failed Concurrent Requests

We are in the process of implementing the full suite of Oracle and I would like to know what is the best way to be alerted to concurrent requests/programs that end in either "Error". Essentially I would like to avoid having to log in each morning and query the Phase for something other than Completed. What is the best way to be more proactive?
I have heard Oracle Alerts or OAM will work, with OAM being the better of the two.
What do people recommend and what is the best practice?
Thanks,
Kevin

There are typically two major categories of concurrent requests submitted at any site - ad-hoc requests submitted by individual users and scheduled (batch) requests that run periodically (hourly, daily, weekly etc).
To check for any concurrent errors in the former category, individual users are responsible. For the latter category, it is best practice to use an external job scheduler (such as Appworx) which has the capability to trap errors in concurrent requests and notify needed support groups via email or other means.

What is the best way to get iTunes running on my Windows 7 64 bit system without installing it on my Windows 7 64 bit system?

I had iTunes installed on XP before upgrading my system and with all the install and uninstall issues I don't want to go through the same thing with Windows 7.
So, I'm looking for a way to get iTunes running on my system without installing it (like maybe in a Virtual OS on VirtualBox or VMWare.)
Something that I can easily restore and/or repair (Windows 7 Restore Points/backup options are not viable because they restore EVERYTHING to the state they were in when they were created.)
TYIA
Any suggestions will help as to the best way of doing this.

LOL Yeah, right, that's very funny...
I did that on XP so I know better now!
Here is just 1 example of many:
On XP the uninstall wouldn't work so I coudn't upgrade iTunes. In order to fix this without Re-Installing XP, I had to delete iTunes and then manually remove it from the registry and from Add/Remove programs before I could Install the new version. Eventualy it did work after 1 and a half days of repairs...
I'm not going through the same type of problems on Windows 7 that just simply waste my time!

What is the best way to create a flash banner that features video?

Hi I have created a html5 video banner but I also need to create a flash banner that will host a video in it
I have created the flash banner but not sure where to start in order to add video to it. I understand the best way is to host the video file on a server but how do I get that video to play within the banner?
Thanks

You can incorporate an FLVPlayback component that automatically loads the desired video. You could also make use of the NetStream class instead of having the component. Google either one to get information on using them.

What is the best way to do permanent local storage of small bits of data on mobile?

My app has a consumable item for purchase. Once purchased, it is consumed immediately, and the item's location is then permanently stored in the app.
What is the best way to achieve this? Should I use something like SharedObject, or do the contents of those get cleared when the app version updates?
Thanks for any help or ideas.

In my app I use a SharedObject to store some informations and when I deploy a new version on my Ipad to test it the SharedObject is cleared
I my case I have a large amount of data (let's say between 400MB and 2GB of media files) that the user can download in the app and I store it in a folder in File.documentsDirectory but each time I deploy my app on iOS the folder is deleted and I have to download everything again. I suppose that it will be the same when I publish app updates on the AppStore. What should I do to keep the file between updates ?
It's not a problem if the files are cleared when the system needs space, but if it's cleared when the app is updated it's quite annoying
Thanks in advance

Best way to export as a uncompressed 8 bit file

Put the video in an HD sequence. Trim the beginning and end. Make sure nothing is rendered. Export to QuickTime conversion, set the codec to none.

Best way to deal with photos from the start? (Bridge CS5 and iPhoto)

Hi all,
I'm just learning the ropes of the whole CS5 suite, and was starting to add keywords etc. in Bridge when I realized I couldn't access the files in my iPhoto ('09) library. I've read a few threads about this issue, but haven't really found a consensus on how to deal with it.
I figure I'm in a good position to get things right from the start since I have no tags or ratings etc. in my iPhoto setup (and have only added keywords to the few pics that weren't in my iPhoto Library), and am wondering what you think is the best way to sort photos given I plan on using them in web design etc., and all the parts of my CS5 suite.
If getting the photos out of iPhoto is best what's the best way to do that? I've read suggestions to right click on the library and click on "Show Contents"- or something like that, but that does not come up as an option when I right click my iPhoto Library in Bridge. Thanks so much for your help!
Please let me know if there is any info I could give you that would be helpful in order to figure this one out.
Best,
Mara

I must be far too lazy to be sure. In iPhoto if I want to move an image all I
do is click and drag from iPhoto to the desktop.
Here comes the trouble with using iPhoto and mixing applications. You have
to be sure what you do in iPhoto because you easily grab the wrong version
instead of the original.
As Tai Lao pointed out the the difference between Bridge and iPhoto in short
is open visible structure for Bridge and hidden invisible library for
iPhoto.
There may be perfect and valid reason to use iPhoto but mixing the two
workflows without thinking or knowing what you do is bound to get you sooner
or later in trouble with wrong versions of the file.
And clicking and dragging from iPhoto is easy to mistake in those versions.
1 - I used to create incredible folder/sub-folder arrangements depending upon
operating system file management to find files.
You can create whatever structure you want including a thought through
naming convention that suites your needs, if you keep doing this in Bridge
you can easily open and close folders using the folder panel, in iPhoto you
have a lot of events and albums but none as clear as in Bridge. (at least
that is my opinion...)
Also I would prefer to use a good naming convention with less folders and
subfolders instead of bad file naming and many well named folders. Also
using the metadata options description and keywords let's you easily find
the files you want but when having the need to retrieve the original from an
external disk or DVD using less folders will be quicker to find.
Since depending upon metadata keywords or star ratings I now prefer to have
all images (originals and amended) in one single folder as Bridge (or iPhoto
for that matter) can only see the images in the folder it is looking at.
Wrong, using the find option (cmd+F) you can specify Bridge to look in main
folders or entire disk, include the option to look in subfolders and you are
in business (but the first time Bridge caches it also need to index all the
metadata, that takes some time but only the first time.
2 - potential feature request for Bridge?
To have an option where Bridge can see and display images in subfolder
arrangements from the folder it is looking at.
That is already there since a view versions
Select a folder with subfolders and then from the menu view select 'show
items for subfolders'
It is still not a perfect way of functioning but it gets better every new
version, in CS5 the speed of gathering the files is very much improved.
However here is iPhoto the winner because it keeps the files in cache (or
something like that) Bridge is not the best in this behavior but it is
possible to use.
This is a bit like a restriction of OS X "All images" to all images in the
selected folder and all subfolders of the selected folder (if that makes any
sense at all)
Many users have tons of files on there system, why would you use that option
to view all if you are perfectly capable of finding the files or file types
you want in most applications (but you can also find them in OSX, you want
psd files do a search for ".psd" and you will see all the psd files on your
system.
3 - iPhoto can't really handle large files. With one event consisting of
4,500+ images weighing in at 884 MB it is zippy. Were those to be originals
at a high resolution iPhoto would probably be tediously slow and require a
folder/sub-folder arrangement which, to me, seems to undermine the importance
of managing stuff using keywords.
IPhoto is not designed to be a professional application, therefore you can't
expect behavior for this
In Bridge you have no limit of files on your system only the limit for the
cache is somewhere around 500.000 I believe. But even Bridge is not really
designed for handling that amount of files in a pleasant way.
I also don't know of an application that can do so for normal retail prices,
most users of that amount of files have custom made or customized
application that costs many thousands dollars. Bridge is in fact a free gift
when buying a Suite application from Adobe.
The file size for viewing in Bridge is by default set to a max of 1 GB but
that is for building previews you can see thumbs and small previews of
bigger files. In the Bridge preferences you can set the limit for this to
whatever you want, it only grows the cache file for previews when using many
large files.
In summary: Bridge is great for CS5 partnering on metadata, original images or
large filesizes.
I couldn't agree more!
iPhoto is great on sharing images across devices and better
still if those files are low res with small filesizes?
I couldn't disagree more...
You can do all of this using Bridge to start own created actions or with
scripts like image processor.
Do some research on Adobe TV or view other video tutorials on the web, there
are many free and good tutorials. You will learn that you can do all you
want in Bridge (and a lot more...)

What is the best way to consolidate data on two Macs?

Hi All,
About to embark on a small project to move all my data on to my MacBook before finally saying goodbye to my trusty iMac. In order to do this I'll be upgrading the HDD on the MacBook to a large one and using Time Machine to restore all the original data onto the new drive. This bit I'm good with as I did it before when I upgraded the drive on my old iMac.
The main problem I have is that the majority of my photos, music, videos and documents are on my old iMac and I'd like to discuss the best way to merge these with a smaller amount of data that the MacBook has on it. Both machines are running Snow Leopard and I'm not aware of any tools that are currently available to do something like this although I am aware that Lion is supposed to have features that would consolidate everything to the cloud and might make things quite easy. This is something I would be willing to spend the £30 or so doing so if anyone has any experience of using Lion to merge everything across Macs to the cloud please let me know if you feel this would be a suitable approach.
Just to summarise the state my data is in currently and the approach I currently intend to take.
Have the Mobile Me service so Mail, Address Book, Calendars and all that stuff are all synced across both machines anyway.
Applications - Some stuff on the old Mac that I no longer user but nothing here that I really want to migrate. Some specific application stuff is mentioned below.
Movies - This is the bit that I'm most concerned about. Have a lot of legacy iMovie stuff on the old iMac which I'd like to keep. iDVD as well. Not sure of the best way to get this across and maybe it even warrants a separate discussion. Aside from that most of my older video stuff and projects are on the iMac with the newer stuff on the MacBook. I'm unaware of any function to export and import this but I have a large HDD which I can use to copy stuff over and am going to look into this a bit further. There will be a small amount of duplication here but this is manageable.
Documents - Will just copy these across and organise them as and when I need them. Again, a small amount of duplication but this is manageable.
Music - Pretty much all my stuff the old iMac. Can just export this and copy it onto the MacBook.
Pictures - Bit complicated this. Most of my stuff on the old iMac but some newer albums on the new MacBook. No duplication so presuming I can just export the library off the old iMac and import it on to the new MacBook.
No websites or anything like that.
iPhone currently syncs with iMac but once I have all the stuff over it should not be too hard to change this.
Just my user account on each machine that I really want to keep. Shared documents and other users accounts all contain temporary stuff that I'm happy to lose or archive.
Given this is anyone able to offer advice as to 1) Whether this is the best approach? 2) Have I considered everything? 3) Are there any tools that might help me?
Many thanks,
Tom

OK, seeing as no-one replied (presumably because a lot of this information is on the forums in bits elsewhere) here's how I've got on so far.
Applications - just went through them. About the only one I needed was my media server app. Just downloaded and re-installed, had a quick look back though my email to find the license key and it all went on fine. Installation never seemed quite right on my old machine so solved that problem too.
Movies - New iMovies just copied across the clips and projects into their respective folders. Seems to have worked but haven't checked it all that thoroughly. Some duplicate footage here but I can trim this out at some point when I get a chance to go through here.
Documents - Just copied these across.
Photos - used an app called iPhoto Library Manager. You can download for free but have to pay to use the part that consolidates your libraries. Possibly if I was willing to spend a bit more time I could have got away without using this but given I didn't know the state of my different libraries and just how many duplicates I had this was too much of a convenience to ignore. Also got my library into a state where I can now spend a few hours organising it a bit better with Faces / Events etc.
Not attempted Music or iPhone sync yet as been stuck trying to solve a problem with my power adapter.
