Block Breaker Lite - More levels, new features
Invasive Bamboo has just updated Block Breaker and Block Breaker Lite for the Pre and Pixi. Both versions have all new challenges and updated levels. The free version now includes ten levels to try!
New Features
Internationalized - The program now supports German, Spanish, and French translations.
Half-Size Bricks - Some levels now feature half-width bricks. This allowed us to make many of the levels more interesting and introduce some new challenges the previous version didn't allow us to have. [B]Moving Bricks[/B] - Animated bricks are now featured in many of the levels.
Micro/Mega Ball - This new power-up grows or shrinks the ball for extra challenges.
Death - A new rare instant death power-up has been introduced. You'll see it more when the bosses are introduced next update.
Star Field Background - The background screen now has a new animated star field scene.
Updated Levels - Every level was reviewed multiple times and many were replaced with new challenges.
Updated Collision - The code that handled the collision between the ball and bricks has been updated and fixes some of the problems of the previous version.
Updated Tilt Control - Tilt has been updated to give a cleaner and smoother experience when using tilt instead of a finger.
Lag - Now that version 1.4.1 of WebOS has been released, Palm has finally given us a way to remove the lag that was noticeable in some of the previous versions.
Block Breaker
Block Breaker Lite
As always, we're listening to you. If there is a feature that you want, please let us know. If you find a particular level too easy/too hard, let us know about that as well.
Thanks and Enjoy!

(V9I) ORACLE9I NEW FEATURE : LOGMINER 의 기능과 사용방법
제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 2002-11-13
(V9I) ORACLE9I NEW FEATURE : LOGMINER 의 기능과 사용방법
==========================================
Purpose
Oracle 9i LogMiner 의 새로운 기능과 사용방법에 대해 알아보도록 한다.
(8I LogMiner의 일반적인 개념과 기능은 BUL. 12033 참조)
Explanation
LogMiner 는 8I 에서부터 새롭게 제공하는 기능으로 Oracle 8 이상의 Redo
log file 또는 Archive log file 분석을 위해 이용된다.
9I 에서는 기존 8I 에서 제공하던 기능을 모두 포함하고 그 외 새로운 점은
LogMiner 분석을 위해 dictionary 정보를 Flat file(output)로 생성이 가능하
였으나 9I 에서부터는 Flat file 과 함께 On line redo log 를 이용하여
dictionary 정보를 저장할 수 있게 되었고, Block corruption이 발생하였을
경우 해당 부분만 skip할 수 있는 기능이 추가되었다.
9I 에서의 New feature 를 정리하면 다음과 같다.
1. 9I New feature
1) DDL 지원 단, 9I 이상의 Redo/Archive log file만 분석 가능
: V$LOGMNR_CONTENTS 의 OPERATION column에서 DDL 확인
2) LogMiner 분석을 위해 생성한 dictioanry 정보를 online redo 에 저장 가능
: 반드시 Archive log mode 로 운영 중이어야 한다.
: DBMS_LOGMNR_D.BUILD를 사용하여 dictionary file 생성
: 기존 Flat file 또는 Redo log 에 생성 가능
: 예) Flat file
- SQL> EXECUTE dbms_logmnr_d.build
(DICTIONARY_FILENAME => 'dictionary.ora'
,DICTIONARY_LOCATION => '/oracle/database'
,OPTIONS => DBMS_LOGMNR_D.STORE_IN_FLAT_FILE);
예) Redo log
- SQL> EXECUTE dbms_logmnr_d.build
(OPTIONS => DBMS_LOGMNR_D.STORE_IN_REDO_LOGS);
3) Redo log block corruption 이 발생하였을 경우 corruption 된 부분을 skip하고 분석
: 8I 에서 log corruption 발생 시 LogMiner 가 종료되고 분석 위해 다시 시도
: 9I 에서는 DBMS_LOGMNR.START_LOGMNR 의 SKIP_CORRUPTION option 으로 skip 가능
4) Commit 된 transaction 에 대해서만 display
: DBMS_LOGMNR.START_LOGMNR 의 COMMITTED_DATA_ONLY option
5) Index clustered 와 연관된 DML 지원 (8I 제공 안 됨)
6) Chained and Migrated rows 분석
2. 제약 사항(9I LogMiner 에서 지원하지 않는 사항)
1) LONG and LOB data type
2) Object types
3) Nested tables
4) Object Refs
5) IOT(Index-Organized Table)
3. LogMiner Views
1) V$LOGMNR_CONTENTS - 현재 분석되고 있는 redo log file의 내용
2) V$LOGMNR_DICTIONARY - 사용 중인 dictionary file
3) V$LOGMNR_LOGS - 분석되고 있는 redo log file
4) V$LOGMNR_PARAMETERS - LogMiner에 Setting된 현재의 parameter의 값
4. LogMiner 를 이용하기 위한 Setup
1) LogMiner 를 위한 dictionary 생성(flatfile or on line redo log)
2) Archive log file or Redo log file 등록
3) Redo log 분석 시작
4) Redo log 내용 조회
5) LogMiner 종료
5. LogMiner Example
1) flatfile이 생성될 location을 확인
SQL> show parameter utl
NAME TYPE VALUE
utl_file_dir string /home/ora920/product/9.2.0/smlee
2) dictionary 정보를 저장할 flatfile 정의 -> dictionary.ora 로 지정
SQL> execute dbms_logmnr_d.build -
(dictionary_filename => 'dictionary.ora', -
dictionary_location => '/home/ora920/product/9.2.0/smlee', -
options => dbms_logmnr_d.store_in_flat_file);PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
3) logfile을 switch 하고 current logfile name과 current time을 기억한다.
SQL> alter system switch logfile;
System altered.
SQL> select member from v$logfile, v$log
2 where v$logfile.group# = v$log.group#
3 and v$log.status='CURRENT';
MEMBER
/home/ora920/oradata/ORA920/redo02.log
SQL> select current_timestamp from dual;
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
13-NOV-02 10.37.14.887671 AM +09:00
4) test를 위해 table emp30 을 생성하고 update -> drop 수행
SQL> create table emp30 as
2 select employee_id, last_name, salary from hr.employees
3 where department_id=30;
Table created.
SQL> alter table emp30 add (new_salary number(8,2));
Table altered.
SQL> update emp30 set new_salary = salary * 1.5;
6 rows updated.
SQL> rollback;
Rollback complete.
SQL> update emp30 set new_salary = salary * 1.2;
6 rows updated.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> drop table emp30;
select
Table dropped.
SQL> select current_timestamp from dual;

New feature request - More Zoom Levels at a Keystroke
Hi
I would love to have more levels of zoom available at a keystroke
I just took an image into Photoshop CS 5 from LR (I bet the developers hate this comparison - there must be considerable, if friendly rivalry in Adobe!) and remembered the joy of just hitting the "+" key maybe three or four times and then the "-" key till I have the image at the right size I want it and then throwing the image about with the hand tool in that way so that the image carries on after you let go (I can't remember what that is called -anyone help me?). It just seems much quicker and more intuitive than LR which lets you have one quick level of zoom and doesn't have that easy moving around of the image which PS has.
I suspect that problem for developers in being able to do this in LR could be to do with the way that LR deals with previews and the fact that it probably has to load and compute any adjustments you have already made to the image before it can even give you a fully rendered image at any given size.
Any feedback from LR developers or other people who agree with me would be much appreciated

It would be more than useful but I don't know if it's the previews or not. You compared with PS but even with C1s workflow the zoom works as you'd expect and pretty fast too. I'm sure Eric will give the scoop as to why LR handles it in this way. -
IBP 4.0 FP1 Patch 2 - Need more info on new features in Supply Planning
Hi All,
I was reading the SAP help and some of the new features are not very clear to me, if you have clarity around it please read and help me to get more clarity.
As per SAP Help,The following features are now available in IBP for supply:
Separate lead time units of measure can be defined for use in multiple planning areas depending on different time granularities.
My Query - Where do we define it? I do not see any additional attribute in the MDT where lead time is present but don't see any attribute to define lead time units or any other different settings in the planning area so how can we define this?
Static periods of supply are taken into account as input for the inventory target, with projected periods of coverage provided as output.
My Query - What exactly has changed and which are the new key figures here to support this? I could not understand this from reading the above text.
Independent demand is taken into account as input at the product location, in addition to the distribution demand from other nodes and customer demand.
The optimizer algorithm supports the Non-Delivery Cost Rate key figure as input for the independent demand at the product location.
My Query - A new key figure "INDEPENDENTDEMAND" is available now @PERPRODLOC so first point is very clear but second point is very confusing to me as "Non delivery cost rate" is only defined @PERPRODCUST so how we will define the non delivery cost rate for independent demand which is at different planning level and if we are not able to define it how optimizer algorithm will support it? Ideally it needs to be at same level like consensus demand and Non delivery cost rate both @PERPRODCUST Level.
Thanks
GirishHi Mark,
While I'm not in your list of people to respond I figure I give it a go anyways :-)
The list of features you mentioned is a nice summary. One of the main release themes is data quality as you noticed. Apart from changes to the name&address functionality we also added the advanced matching and merging into this release. So you can use custom rules to match and merge data. This also allows you to do things like householding for customer data records. In essence we have now completed the integration of Pure*Integrate into Warehouse Builder.
The mapping debugger is another big thing. This allow you to walk through your mappings and see in detail what happes to the data.
The metadata change management is now in the UI. THis means there is now object level version management in Warehouse Builder via the UI. You can also compare versions and get a difference report.
As you mentioned there are a number of smaller and bigger features next to this. The idea for this release is to make OWB a top Data Quality product and allow you to do your ETL and DQ in one tool. Apart from that we have added usability features (debugger, N&A wizard) and we have added some features to solve specific problems.
Especially the corelated commit is interesting in that respect. You can now, in a map with multiple targets control the commit, and choose to either commit all targets or none, or commit them individually (current behavior).
As usual there is a lot more, as this is indeed a major release. Keep an eye on OTN for more collateral regarding the new features. We are currently updating the site to reflect the new stuff.
On the OLAP patch, both 9.0.4 and 9.2 will work equally well with the OLAP patch (when it is available). In 9.2 we added some small thing around composites. More about that when there is an OLAP patch to test this one on in a customer site.
I hope this answered the question, if not let me know.

BLOCK CORRUPTION (ORA-1578) 처리 (ORACLE 8I NEW FEATURE)
제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 2002-05-31
BLOCK CORRUPTION (ORA-1578) 처리 (ORACLE 8I NEW FEATURE)
========================================================
PURPOSE
Block Corruption의 처리 방안에 대해 알아본다.
Problem Description
block corruption 시 10210, 10211,10231 의 event 를 사용해서
해당 block 을 skip 할 수도 있지만 V8.1 이상에서는
dbms_repair.fix_corrupt_blocks ,
dbms_repair.skip_corrupt_block 를 이용하여
corrupt가 발생한 block을 detect하고 skip, 또는 repair해주는 방안이
제시되고 있다.
Workaround
Solution Description
- 먼저 detecting 을 위해 db_block_checking =true 를 init.ora 에 set
- dbms_repair 의 package 를 사용하는데 이 package 는 dbmsrpr.sql,
prvtrpr.plb를 수행한다 .
- sys 로 접속하여 package 를 실행한다.
다음의 예제를 살펴보자
T1 테이블에 corrupt 된 block 이 있다고 가정한다.
SQL> desc t1
Name Null? Type
COL1 NOT NULL NUMBER(38)
COL2 CHAR(512)
SQL> analyze table t1 validate structure;
analyze table t1 validate structure
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01498: block check failure - see trace file
이때 ANALYZE로 부터 발생된 trace file 에 corrupt 된 block 에 3 row 의
(nrows = 3) data 가 있음을 알수 있다고 가정하자.
DBMS_REPAIR.ADMIN_TABLES (repair and orphan key)
================================================
ADMIN_TABLES 은 table 을 위한 repair table과,인덱스를 위한 orphan key
tables을 제공한다.
SQL> @adminCreate
SQL> connect sys/change_on_install
Connected.
SQL>
SQL> -- Repair Table
SQL>
SQL> declare
2 begin
3 -- Create repair table
4 dbms_repair.admin_tables (

2 from dba_objects
3 where object_name like '%ORPHAN_KEY_TABLE';
OWNER OBJECT_NAME OBJECT_TYPE
SYS DBA_ORPHAN_KEY_TABLE VIEW
SYS ORPHAN_KEY_TABLE TABLE
DBMS_REPAIR.CHECK_OBJECT
=========================
CHECK_OBJECT procedure 는 기술된 object를 check 하고, repair 를 위한 정보를 수집하기 위함이다.
SQL> @checkObject
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL>
SQL> declare
2 rpr_count int;
3 begin
4 rpr_count := 0;
5 dbms_repair.check_object (

Data Extraction
===============
repair table에 의하면 file 6 ,block 3 에 corrupt 이 났음을 알수 있다
그러나 아직 이 block 은 corrupt 로 mark 되어 있지 않으므로 필요 data 를
추출하여야 한다.
1. ALTER SYSTEM DUMP (nrows = 3) 에 의해 block안에 있는 row수를 결정한다.
2. corrupt object를 select 하여 가능한 정보를 추출한다.
SQL> -- The following query can be used to salvage data from a corrupt block.
SQL> -- Creating a temporary table facilitates data insertion.
SQL> create table temp_t1 as
2 select * from system.t1
3 where dbms_rowid.rowid_block_number(rowid) = 3
4 and dbms_rowid.rowid_to_absolute_fno (rowid, 'SYSTEM','T1') = 6;
Table created.
SQL> select col1 from temp_t1;
COL1
2

DBMS_REPAIR.FIX_CORRUPT_BLOCKS (ORA-1578)
============================================
FIX_CORRUPT_BLOCKS procedure는 repair table 의 정보를 이용하여 corrupt
blocks 을 fix 한다
그러나 아직 full table scan 시 여전히 error 가 발생한다

ORA-01110: data file 6: '/tmp/ts_corrupt.dbf'
DBMS_REPAIR.DUMP_ORPHAN_KEYS
==============================
DUMP_ORPHAN_KEYS는 corrupt data 에 해당하는 index 를 나타내 준다
SQL> select index_name from dba_indexes
2 where table_name in (select distinct object_name from repair_table);
INDEX_NAME

Oracle 10G New Feature........Part 1
Dear all,
from last couple of days i was very busy with my oracle 10g box,so i think this is right time to
share some intresting feature on 10g and some internal stuff with all of you.
Have a look :-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oracle 10g Memory and Storage Feature.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.Automatic Memory Management.
2.Online Segment Shrink
3.Redolog Advisor, checkpointing
4.Multiple Temporary tablespace.
5.Automatic Workload Repository
6.Active Session History
7.Misc
a)Rename Tablespace
b)Bigfile tablespace
c)flushing buffer cache
8.ORACLE INTERNAL
a)undocumented parameter (_log_blocks_during_backup)
b)X$ view (x$messages view)
c)Internal Structure of Controlfile
1.Automatic memory management
================================
This feature reduce the overhead of oracle DBA.previously mostly time we need to set diff oracle SGA parameter for
better performance with the help of own experience,advice views and by monitoring the behaviour
of oracle database.
this was just time consuming activity.........
Now this feature makes easy life for oracle DBA.
Just set SGA_TARGET parameter and it automatically allocate memory to different SGA parameter.
it focus on DB_CACHE_SIZE
SHARED_POOL_SIZE
LARGE_POOL
JAVA_POOL
and automatically set it as
__db_cache_size
__shared_pool_size
__large_pool_size
__java_pool_size
check it in alert_log
MMAN(memory manager) process is new in 10g and this is responsible for sga tuning task.
it automatically increase and decrease the SGA parameters value as per the requirement.
Benefit:- Maximum utlization of available SGA memory.
2.Online Segment Shrink.
==========================
hmmmmm again a new feature by oracle to reduce the downtime.Now oracle mainly focus on availablity
thats why its always try to reduce the downtime by intrducing new feature.
in previous version ,reducing High water mark of table was possible by
Exp/imp
or
alter table move....cmd. but on these method tables was not available for normal use for long hrs if it has more data.
but in 10g with just few command we can reduce the HWmark of table.
this feature is available for ASSM tablespaces.
1.alter table emp enable row movement.
2.alter table emp shrink space.
the second cmd have two phases
first phase is to compact the segment and in this phase DML operations are allowed.
second phase(shrink phase)oracle shrink the HWM of table, DML operation will be blocked at that time for short duration.
So if want to shrink the HWM of table then we should use it with two diff command
first compact the segment and then shrink it on non-peak hrs.
alter table emp shrink space compact. (This cmd doesn't block the DML operation.)
and alter table emp shrink space. (This cmd should be on non-peak hrs.)
Benefit:- better full table scan.
3.Redolog Advisor and checkpointing
================================================================
now oracle will suggest the size of redo log file by V$INSTANCE_RECOVERY
SELECT OPTIMAL_LOGFILE_SIZE
FROM V$INSTANCE_RECOVERY
this value is influence with the value of FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET .
Checkpointing
Automatic checkpointing will be enable after setting FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET to non-zero value.
4.Multiple Temporary tablespace.
==================================
Now we can manage multiple temp tablespace under one group.
we can create a tablespace group implicitly when we include the TABLESPACE GROUP clause in the CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE or ALTER TABLESPACE statement and the specified tablespace group does not currently exist.
For example, if group1 is not exists,then the following statements create this groups with new tablespace
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp1 TEMPFILE '/u02/oracle/data/temp01.dbf'
SIZE 50M
TABLESPACE GROUP group1;
--Add Existing temp tablespace into group by
alter tablespace temp2 tablespace group group1.
--we can also assign the temp tablespace group on database level as default temp tablespace.
ALTER DATABASE <db name> DEFAULT TEMPORARY TABLESPACE group1;
benefit:- Better I/O
One sql can use more then one temp tablespace
5.AWR(Automatic Workload Repository):-
================================== AWR is built in Repository and Central point of Oracle 10g.Oracle self managing activities
is fully dependent on AWR.by default after 1 hr, oracle capure all database uses information and store in AWR with the help of
MMON process.we called it Memory monitor process.and all these information are kept upto 7 days(default) and after that it automatically purge.
we can generate a AWR report by
SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/awrrpt
Just like statspack report but its a advance and diff version of statspack,it provide more information of Database as well as OS.
it show report in Html and Text format.
we can also take manually snapshot for AWR by
BEGIN
DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY.CREATE_SNAPSHOT ();
END;
**The STATISTICS_LEVEL initialization parameter must be set to the TYPICAL or ALL to enable the Automatic Workload Repository.

Benefit:- Now DBA have more free time to play games.....................:-)
Advance version of statspack
more DB and OS information with self managing capabilty
New Automatic alert and database advisor with the help of AWR.
6.Active Session History:-
==========================
V$active_session_history is view that contain the recent session history.
the memory for ASH is comes from SGA and it can't more then 5% of Shared pool.
So we can get latest and active session report from v$active_session_history view and also get histortical data of
of session from DBA_HIST_ACTIVE_SESS_HISTORY.
v$active_session_history include some imp column like:-
~SQL identifier of SQL statement
~Object number, file number, and block number
~Wait event identifier and parameters
~Session identifier and session serial number
~Module and action name
~Client identifier of the session
7.Misc:-
========
Rename Tablespace:-
=================
in 10g,we can even rename a tablespace by
alter tablespace <tb_name> rename to <tb_name_new>;
This command will update the controlfile,data dictionary and datafile header,but dbf filename will be same.
**we can't rename system and sysaux tablespace.
Bigfile tablespace:-
====================
Bigfile tablespace contain only one datafile.
A bigfile tablespace with 8K blocks can contain a 32 terabyte datafile.
Bigfile tablespaces are supported only for locally managed tablespaces with automatic segment-space management.
we can take the advantage of bigfile tablespace when we are using ASM or other logical volume with RAID.
without ASM or RAID ,it gives poor response.
syntax:-
CREATE BIGFILE TABLESPACE bigtbs
Flushing Buffer Cache:-
======================
This option is same as flushing the shared pool,but only available with 10g.
but i don't know, whats the use of this command in prod database......
anyway we can check and try it on test server for tuning n testing some query etc....
SQL> alter system flush buffer_cache;
System altered.
++++++++++++++++++
8.Oracle Internal
++++++++++++++++++
Here is some stuff that is not related with 10g but have some intresting things.
a)undocumented parameter "_log_blocks_during_backup"
++++++++++++++++++++++++
as we know that oracle has generate more redo logs during hotbackup mode because
oracle has to maintain the a complete copy of block into redolog due to split block.
we can also change this behaviour by setting this parameter to False.
If Oracle block size equals the operating system block size.thus reducing the amount of redo generated
during a hot backup.
WITHOUT ORACLE SUPPORT DON'T SET IT ON PROD DATABASE.THIS DOCUMENT IS JUST FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSE.
b)some X$ views (X$messages)
++++++++++++++++
if you are intresting in oracle internal architecture then x$ view is right place for getting some intresting things.
X$messages :-it show all the actions that a background process do.
select * from x$messages;
like:-
lock memory at startup MMAN
Memory Management MMAN
Handle sga_target resize MMAN
Reset advisory pool when advisory turned ON MMAN
Complete deferred initialization of components MMAN
lock memory timeout action MMAN
tune undo retention MMNL
MMNL Periodic MQL Selector MMNL
ASH Sampler (KEWA) MMNL
MMON SWRF Raw Metrics Capture MMNL
reload failed KSPD callbacks MMON
SGA memory tuning MMON
background recovery area alert action MMON
Flashback Marker MMON
tablespace alert monitor MMON
Open/close flashback thread RVWR
RVWR IO's RVWR
kfcl instance recovery SMON
c)Internal Structure of Controlfile
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The contents of the current controlfile can be dumped in text form.
Dump Level Dump Contains
1 only the file header
2 just the file header, the database info record, and checkpoint progress records
3 all record types, but just the earliest and latest records for circular reuse record types
4 as above, but includes the 4 most recent records for circular reuse record types
5+ as above, but the number of circular reuse records included doubles with each level
the session must be connected AS SYSDBA
alter session set events 'immediate trace name controlf level 5';
This dump show lots of intresting information.
it also show rman recordes if we used this controlfile in rman backup.

New Features and Improvements for CS6
IMPORTANT:
By default, Photoshop comes with the Proofing Colors (Cmd/Ctrl+Y) activated and set to CMYK. Adobe must warn about that, because I was editing a large amount of pictures for work and I was doing it under that color profile/work space.
LAYERS PANEL:
Layer Adjustments:
Solid Color: visual feedback in real time.
Gradient: IDEM as above.
Pattern: IDEM as above.
Gradient Map: IDEM as above.
Gradient Editor: IDEM as above.
Opacity and Fill: IDEM as above.
Curves and Levels: Ability to load alfa channels. This way, the adjustments made on the alfa channel won't be destructive.
CHANNELS PANEL:
Channel Luminosity Selection:
Ability to add and subtract from the selection.
Ability to designate an area to be selected.
For point 1, by using the shortcut Cmd+Alt+[number] the luminosity of a channel is loaded as selection. With Cmd+Alt+Shift+[number], the selection grows. But there is no way to subtract from selection (unless by clicking with the mouse on the channel's thumbnail). I think that can be solved by using Cmd+Alt+Shift+[- or +] in order to subtract or add from selection.
Point 2 maybe even more important than point 1, because it allows selecting a designated area by the user, instead of the default luminosity selection, which ranges from 50% of the mid tones to the highlights (or shadows, if the selection is inverted). The user should be allowed to select the starting and finishing points of the luminosity selection.
I thought 2 ways for solving these issues (and making it more intuitive and faster):
A) By using the Histogram Panel, by dragging and highlighting an area on it, that it should load the selected luminosity pixels as a selection, as shown in figure 1:
figure 1
So the result of doing that will be a selection based on the area of the histogram that have been highlighted.
B) By creating a new Adjustment Layer:
It can be based in the same structure of the HUE Adjustment Layer, like figure 2 shows:
Figure 2
Or it can be this way (much better). Figure 3:
Figure 3
The selection can also be controlled by using the Click and Drag as suggested in the figure 1, as shown in the figure 4:
Figure 4
The overlaid highlighting over the histogram can be functional or just a mere graphic representation of the Range and Fade Selector. The "Fading" areas should be also be draggable in order to increase smooth the selection. However, the smoothing can be much better done with the Refining Selection tool and it can be ignored from this new tool.
In any of these cases, the adjustments should give real time feedback when growing or shrinking selection; we must see the selection going bigger or smaller and also, the highlighted area should be draggable as well.
TOOLS PANEL:
Brush: detect edges while painting on masks (for manual mask refining. It would work similar to the Replace Color Brush, but only for masks and alfa channels). It also needs a shortcut to set the opacity.
Dodge & Burn: Protect Tones should be allowed when painting on masks or alfa channels (for manual mask refining). D&B can also use edge detection as well.
FILTERS:
Some of them, like the ones involving Blur or the High-Pass and the Unsharp Mask filter, should work in real time (these ones, at the least).
It can also added a Particle Generator Filter.
It would be really nice having the ability to create particles such as dust, fog, rain, snow, etc in a more realistic manner than just the scattering function from the Brush Palette, or by mixing different filters with different blends. The Particle Generator should have an slider to control the depth of field, so it will give a feeling of depth and also, a way to load masks, so that way, the particles can exists before the image and also, behind. It would be great for creating a nice feeling of depth (kind of a bokeh effect).
I've been playing with After Effect few times, and the way to create shapes and forms from nothing is the way of easier than in Photoshop.
TIME LINE:
I think it's time give dynamism the filters applied to a movie clip, and also, dynamics to the fade effects, like it happens in After Effects by adding Bezier Curves.
HISTOGRAM:
It should be possible to zoom in into the histogram, for a more precise feedback and analysis of the image tonal values.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
The fade tool should work in real time.
Loupe/Magnificator View:
This is very useful when it comes to edit and image in detail, with a lot of zoom, like 3200%. Unfortunately, Photoshop doesn't provide a real time feedback in an additional window, such as the Window/Arrange/New Window For […].
It would be really useful having a window showing the image at fit on the screen while working on the other window at 100% or 3200% of zoom, but in real time. This way, you can see if you're doing a good job on the pixels or, if you're overdoing it.
It happens that, when working with big images at 100% of the image size (or more), the brain cannot figure out how is looking the whole image, so having a realtime feedback in the other window would help a lot for detailled work.
And why not, ading the same real time structure descrived above but to the Navigator, for faster and lighter use of the hardware capabilities. Probably, adding a check box to the navigator that blocks it to a given zoom, so when zooming into the image in the navigator, the image shown in the window isn't magnified too.
Give me a chance to show you some examples of what I have done by improvising particles and fog about 5 years ago:
http://mart1980.deviantart.com/gallery/5027033#/d1m119x
And what I did 7 years ago by manually, selecting different shades of gray and using just Levels for 8 hours (which coule be done faster and easier with another tool I thought, which I will post later):
I cannot post examples of the other features I'm suggesting because there are not such new features yet (I would have to create an hipothetical enviroment, but I think, you can fiure it out in your mind).
Unfortunately, I don't know programing, even though, I tried something with Filter Factory, achieving good results, but that pluging consumes too much resources and/or is bad designed/have not the right tools for certain things.
Hope this post is enough worthy of the Adobe's attention.
Thanks,
سThis is a poorly explained reason about why is so important having a loupe in Photoshop. I've not also, used the best example, but I will. This belongs to the ADDITIONAL FEATURES: Loupe/Magnificator View:. Also, I will try to make my english clrearer, but here it goes:
-
A few days ago, LabVIEW 2015 has been released.
I've played with it and really like all the new features that make things easier for the programmer. For example, the new "add/remove space" tool is fantastic!
After using LabVIEW 2015 for a while, it will be difficult to go back to an earlier version! Seriously!
Please use this thread to discuss the new features of LabVIEW 2015.First, some really good stuff is on the horizon, no joke. To quote the sequal to 2001:A Space Odessy. Someone asked HAL what was going to happen now, and he replies:
"Something Wonderful..."
Second, 2015 has a lot new to offer, but as with last year NI chose to not really talk about it a lot. Even 2014 had a lot more to it than a new icon -- but that is the main thing they talked about.
But back to 2015, NI has also changed the way it handles missing DLLs. Rather than breaking the VI when you load it throws an error when run. Very helpful change that will.make code less brittle and complex.
NI is continuing to open up the low-level APIs sonyou can do things like add to the development right-click menus.
Built executables are smaller, sometimes significantly so. And they load faster.There is a new setting in the application builder to accelerate loading even further, but at the potential cost of longer build times.
Read the release notes, there's lots and lots of good stuff.

Hi,
is someone able to say what new features will be included in Oracle 10g from Workspace Manager point of view? I've looked on http://otn.oracle.com/oramag/webcolumns/2003/techarticles/new_features_preview.pdf but there is nothing about OWM. Particularly I'm interested in:
1. Possibility of historical data archiving and reloading - see topic Historic data in version enabled tables
2. More sophisticated support for database export/import (there is possible to export/import full database only)
3. Java API for OWM - see topic Java API for OWM?
Thanks
Ondrej1. Possibility of historical data archiving
This is not available in 10G
2. More sophisticated support for database export/import (there is possible to export/import full database only)
Table level import//export is supported in 10G
3. Java API for OWM
No Java API support in 10G

MULTIPLE ARCHIVER PROCESSES FAQ ( ORACLE 8I NEW FEATURE )
제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 2002-04-19
MULTIPLE ARCHIVER PROCESSES FAQ ( ORACLE 8I NEW FEATURE )
=========================================================
PURPOSE
1. LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES가 하는 역할
2. LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES 값은 동적으로 변경 가능한지 여부
3. Archiver process의 갯수가 동적으로 바뀌는 메카니즘
4. 어떤 archiver process가 online log를 archive시켰는지 판단 방법
Explanation
1. LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES가 하는 역할
Oracle 8i에는 다중 archive destination을 지원하며, 단일 archiver의
부하를 줄여주기 위해 multiple archiver process를 사용할 수 있다.
LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES 파라미터로 구동시킬 최대 ARCH 프로세스의
갯수를 지정하면 된다.
만약 LOG_ARCHIVE_START 값이 TRUE로 지정되어 있다면 인스턴스 구동시
init 파일에 지정된 LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES에 지정된 값을 읽어
들인다. 만약 LOG_ARCHIVE_START 값이 true인데 LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES
값이 별도로 지정되어 있지 않을 경우에는 arc0 프로세스만을 구동시킨다.
LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES 값이 별도로 지정되었을 경우 (1 - 10 범위),
arc0, arc1 과 같은 추가 프로세스를 구동시킨다.
하지만, 이 파라미터 값을 기본값 1이 아닌 다른 값으로 명시적으로 지정할
필요는 없다. 왜냐하면, 시스템에서 몇개의 ARCn 프로세스가
필요한지를 판단하여, 추가 ARCn 프로세스를 생성하기 때문이다.
2. LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES 값은 동적으로 변경 가능한지 여부
alter system 명령에서 set LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES=n 으로
지정하여 동적으로 값을 변경할 수 있다. 이때 n은 1 부터 10사이의
값이어야 한다. 하지만, LOG_ARCHIVE_START 값이 FALSE로 지정되어
있을 경우에는, 명령을 실행시켜도 아무런 영향을 미치지
못한다.
3. Archiver process의 갯수가 동적으로 바뀌는 메카니즘
만약 LOG_ARCHIVE_START 값이 TRUE로 지정되어 있다면, 오라클에서는
구동시 하나의 archiver process (ARC0)를 구동시킨다. 이 파라미터
값은 필요시 LATER SYSTEM 명령으로 지정된 갯수만큼의
archive process를 구동시킬 수 있다.
예)
SVRMGRL>alter system set LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES=4;
위 명령을 실행 시키면 다음과 같은 절차에 따라 ARC1, ARC2, ARC3를
추가한다.
1) Shadow process는 primary archive process에게 프로세스 갯수를
늘릴 것을 요청한다.
2) Archiver process는 kcrrschd 함수를 호출한다. (kcrrschd:
다중 arch process를 schedule)
3) 만약 요청된 process의 갯수가 현재 사용중인 archiver process
갯수보다 작은지 확인한다. 만약 새로 지정된 값이 적거나, ARCHIVING이
DISABLE 된 상태라면 다른 조치를 취하지 않고 return 한다. 그렇지
않다면 지원되는 최대 갯수인 10을 넘는지 확인하고 10을 넘을 경우에는
프로세스의 갯수를 10으로 지정한다.
4) Scheduler 함수는 kcrxs{} structure에 대한 latch를 확보한다.
여기서 kcrxs{} structure는 ARCH Activation status를 나타낸다.
5) Scheduler 함수는 지정된 process 갯수 만큼 loop를 돌면서
schedule된 상태를 structure KCRRSCHED에 반영시킨다.
6) 그리고 나서 latch를 release 시킨 후 kcrrsmp 함수를 ( kcrrsmp:
다중 arch processs 구동 ) 호출한다.
7) kcrrsmp 함수는 kcrrxs{} structure (ARCH 구동 상태)에 대한 latch를
확보하여 code 실행을 serialize 시켜 이 함수가 동시에 실행되더라도
한번에 하나씩 실행될 수 있도록 한다.
8) pending 상태에 있는 archiver process를 스케쥴링 하고, dead process가
있으면 clean up 시킨다.
9) 그리고 나서 이 함수는 지정된 process 갯수 만큼 loop를 돌면서
KCRRSCHED 상태를 KCRRSTART으로 바꾸어, archiver process들을
구동 준비 상태로 만든다.
10) latch를 release 시킨 후 ARCH 프로세스를 구동시킨다.
11) kcrrsmp함수는 latch를 다시 획득한다. 각각의 archiver 프로세스는
자기 자신을 activate 시킬 것을 통보 받는다. archiver process는
자기 자신을 activate 시킨 후 alert file에 관련 사항을 기록한다.
12) 호출을 하는 함수는 모든 archiver process가 자기 자신을
activate 시키고, kcrrxs structure의 내용을 갱신할 때 까지
sleep 상태에서 대기한다.
13) 끝으로, 현재 archiver process의 갯수가 요청된 archiver process
의 갯수와 일치 하면, latch를 release 시키고 break 한다. ( C
에서의 break )
alert. log 에는 위 과정이 다음과 같이 반영된다.

Tue Jul 13 02:15:15 1999
ARC0: Initializing ARC2
ARC2 와 ARC3도 동일한 절차를 따른다.
흥미로운 사실은 프로세스의 갯수를 줄일 수도 있다는 것이다. 예를 들어
다음과 같은 명령을 실행시킬 경우
SVRMGRL>alter system set LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES=2;
다음과 같은 작업이 순서대로 실행된다.
1) shadow process는 현재 active 상태인 archiver process와 접속을 한다.
2) archiverprocess는 kcrrxmp 함수를 호출한다. ( kcrrxmp: 다중
Arch process 정지 )
3) kcrrxmp 함수는 kcrrxs{} structure에 (ARCH 구동 상태) 대한 latch를 획득하여 다른 프로세스에서 structure를 동시에 병경하지 않도록 한다.
4) 새로 요청된 archiver process의 갯수가 현재 사용중인 archiver process
의 갯수보다 작은지 확인한다.
5) 만약 작다면, archiver process 목록 가운데, 가장 최근에 schedule
되어, archival 작업에 schedule 차례가 금방 돌아 오지 않을 프로세스를
찾아낸다.
6) 각각의 프로세스에 대해 KCRRACTIVE 상태에서 KCRRSHUTDN로 상태를
변경할 것을 요청한다.
7) 상태가 바뀌면, OS에서 해당 프로세스를 종료시키도록 하고, 상태를
KCRRDEAD로 바꾼다. 관련된 상태 정보가 정리되고 kcrrxs{} structure의
내용이 갱신된다.
6) ,7) 과정은 지정된 archiver process 갯수로 줄어들 때 까지
반복된다.
8) 새로운 archiver process의 갯수로 kcrrxs structure 내용이 갱신된다.
9) latch를 release 시킨다.
상태 변동은 다음과 같이 alert. log 파일에 반영된다.

4. 어떤 archiver process가 online log를 archive시켰는지 판단 방법
Archiver process는 round-robin 방식으로 archiving 작업을 수행하도록
schedule 된다. 만약 다중 archiver process가 부하에 따라 activate 된
경우는 여러가지 경우의 수가 있을 수 있다. Oracle 8i에서는 다중
archive log dest를 지원하면서 archive log에 대한 duplexing을 지원
하기 때문에, 어떤프로세스가 log file을 archive 시켰는지를 기록할 필요가
있다.
Oracle 8i에서 archival 작업은 성공할 때 마다 trace file에 archiver
process 명을 기록한다.
다음은 관련 trace file의 주요 내용이다.

들인다. 만약 LOG_ARCHIVE_START 값이 true인데 LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES
값이 별도로 지정되어 있지 않을 경우에는 arc0 프로세스만을 구동시킨다.
LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES 값이 별도로 지정되었을 경우 (1 - 10 범위),
arc0, arc1 과 같은 추가 프로세스를 구동시킨다.
하지만, 이 파라미터 값을 기본값 1이 아닌 다른 값으로 명시적으로 지정할
필요는 없다. 왜냐하면, 시스템에서 몇개의 ARCn 프로세스가
필요한지를 판단하여, 추가 ARCn 프로세스를 생성하기 때문이다.
2. LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES 값은 동적으로 변경 가능한지 여부
alter system 명령에서 set LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES=n 으로
지정하여 동적으로 값을 변경할 수 있다. 이때 n은 1 부터 10사이의
값이어야 한다. 하지만, LOG_ARCHIVE_START 값이 FALSE로 지정되어
있을 경우에는, 명령을 실행시켜도 아무런 영향을 미치지
못한다.
3. Archiver process의 갯수가 동적으로 바뀌는 메카니즘
만약 LOG_ARCHIVE_START 값이 TRUE로 지정되어 있다면, 오라클에서는
구동시 하나의 archiver process (ARC0)를 구동시킨다. 이 파라미터
값은 필요시 LATER SYSTEM 명령으로 지정된 갯수만큼의
archive process를 구동시킬 수 있다.
예)
SVRMGRL>alter system set LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES=4;
위 명령을 실행 시키면 다음과 같은 절차에 따라 ARC1, ARC2, ARC3를
추가한다.
1) Shadow process는 primary archive process에게 프로세스 갯수를
늘릴 것을 요청한다.
2) Archiver process는 kcrrschd 함수를 호출한다. (kcrrschd:
다중 arch process를 schedule)
3) 만약 요청된 process의 갯수가 현재 사용중인 archiver process
갯수보다 작은지 확인한다. 만약 새로 지정된 값이 적거나, ARCHIVING이
DISABLE 된 상태라면 다른 조치를 취하지 않고 return 한다. 그렇지
않다면 지원되는 최대 갯수인 10을 넘는지 확인하고 10을 넘을 경우에는
프로세스의 갯수를 10으로 지정한다.
4) Scheduler 함수는 kcrxs{} structure에 대한 latch를 확보한다.
여기서 kcrxs{} structure는 ARCH Activation status를 나타낸다.
5) Scheduler 함수는 지정된 process 갯수 만큼 loop를 돌면서
schedule된 상태를 structure KCRRSCHED에 반영시킨다.
6) 그리고 나서 latch를 release 시킨 후 kcrrsmp 함수를 ( kcrrsmp:
다중 arch processs 구동 ) 호출한다.
7) kcrrsmp 함수는 kcrrxs{} structure (ARCH 구동 상태)에 대한 latch를
확보하여 code 실행을 serialize 시켜 이 함수가 동시에 실행되더라도
한번에 하나씩 실행될 수 있도록 한다.
8) pending 상태에 있는 archiver process를 스케쥴링 하고, dead process가
있으면 clean up 시킨다.
9) 그리고 나서 이 함수는 지정된 process 갯수 만큼 loop를 돌면서
KCRRSCHED 상태를 KCRRSTART으로 바꾸어, archiver process들을
구동 준비 상태로 만든다.
10) latch를 release 시킨 후 ARCH 프로세스를 구동시킨다.
11) kcrrsmp함수는 latch를 다시 획득한다. 각각의 archiver 프로세스는
자기 자신을 activate 시킬 것을 통보 받는다. archiver process는
자기 자신을 activate 시킨 후 alert file에 관련 사항을 기록한다.
12) 호출을 하는 함수는 모든 archiver process가 자기 자신을
activate 시키고, kcrrxs structure의 내용을 갱신할 때 까지
sleep 상태에서 대기한다.
13) 끝으로, 현재 archiver process의 갯수가 요청된 archiver process
의 갯수와 일치 하면, latch를 release 시키고 break 한다. ( C
에서의 break )
alert. log 에는 위 과정이 다음과 같이 반영된다.

ARC2 와 ARC3도 동일한 절차를 따른다.
흥미로운 사실은 프로세스의 갯수를 줄일 수도 있다는 것이다. 예를 들어
다음과 같은 명령을 실행시킬 경우
SVRMGRL>alter system set LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES=2;
다음과 같은 작업이 순서대로 실행된다.
1) shadow process는 현재 active 상태인 archiver process와 접속을 한다.
2) archiverprocess는 kcrrxmp 함수를 호출한다. ( kcrrxmp: 다중
Arch process 정지 )
3) kcrrxmp 함수는 kcrrxs{} structure에 (ARCH 구동 상태) 대한 latch를 획득하여 다른 프로세스에서 structure를 동시에 병경하지 않도록 한다.
4) 새로 요청된 archiver process의 갯수가 현재 사용중인 archiver process
의 갯수보다 작은지 확인한다.
5) 만약 작다면, archiver process 목록 가운데, 가장 최근에 schedule
되어, archival 작업에 schedule 차례가 금방 돌아 오지 않을 프로세스를
찾아낸다.
6) 각각의 프로세스에 대해 KCRRACTIVE 상태에서 KCRRSHUTDN로 상태를
변경할 것을 요청한다.
7) 상태가 바뀌면, OS에서 해당 프로세스를 종료시키도록 하고, 상태를
KCRRDEAD로 바꾼다. 관련된 상태 정보가 정리되고 kcrrxs{} structure의
내용이 갱신된다.
6) ,7) 과정은 지정된 archiver process 갯수로 줄어들 때 까지
반복된다.
8) 새로운 archiver process의 갯수로 kcrrxs structure 내용이 갱신된다.
9) latch를 release 시킨다.
상태 변동은 다음과 같이 alert. log 파일에 반영된다.

4. 어떤 archiver process가 online log를 archive시켰는지 판단 방법
Archiver process는 round-robin 방식으로 archiving 작업을 수행하도록
schedule 된다. 만약 다중 archiver process가 부하에 따라 activate 된
경우는 여러가지 경우의 수가 있을 수 있다. Oracle 8i에서는 다중
archive log dest를 지원하면서 archive log에 대한 duplexing을 지원
하기 때문에, 어떤프로세스가 log file을 archive 시켰는지를 기록할 필요가
있다.
Oracle 8i에서 archival 작업은 성공할 때 마다 trace file에 archiver
process 명을 기록한다.
다음은 관련 trace file의 주요 내용이다.

<Note:73163.1> -
This text guide helps you find most major new features in Photoshop CS. For a comprehensive video walkthrough, see this Ask A Pro session with Senior Product Manager Zorana Gee.
Retouching and transforming
Content-Aware Move tool
The Content-Aware Move tool lets you quickly recompose images without complex layering or slow, precise selections. Extend mode convincingly expands or contracts objects such as hair, trees, or buildings. Move mode lets you place objects in completely different locations (most effectively when the background remains similar).
In the toolbar, hold down the Spot Healing Brush, and select the Content-Aware Move tool.
In the options bar, choose Mode > Extend or Move. Adaptation options control how closely the new area reflects existing image patterns.
In the image, circle the object you want to extend or move, and drag it to a new location.
Tip: To best extend architectural objects, use photos shot on a parallel plane, rather than at an angle.
Content-Aware Patch tool
The updated Patch tool includes a Content-Aware option that seamlessly replaces unwanted image elements by synthesizing nearby content. The natural-looking results are similar to Content-Aware Fill, but the Patch tool lets you select the area from which the fill is drawn.
In the toolbar, hold down the Spot Healing Brush, and select the Patch tool.
In the options bar, choose Patch > Content-Aware. Adaptation options control how closely the patch reflects existing image patterns.
In the image, circle the area you want to replace, and drag over the area you want to generate a fill from.
Redesigned Crop tools
The redesigned Crop tool provides an interactive preview so you can better visualize results. A streamlined set of toolbar options includes a helpful Straighten tool, and aspect ratio controls you can adjust while a crop is active in the image window. (To maintain the current aspect ratio or resolution, right-click the image to access additional options.)
To crop an image, click the Crop tool in the toolbar. Then either adjust default crop borders in the image window, or drag in the window to start with specific borders.
Note: If you deselect Delete Cropped Pixels to apply a nondestructive crop, you can later click the image to see areas outside current crop borders.
To correct image perspective, hold down the Crop tool and select the Perspective Crop tool.
Type
Paragraph and Character styles
In the Window > Paragraph Styles panel, create, store, and reapply the characteristics of groups of highlighted sentences. In the Window > Character Styles panel, specify the look of selected letters, words, or phrases.
Double-click existing styles to edit them and update all associated text in the current document. From the panel menus, save and load styles to apply them to other documents. Or drag styles from one document to another.
Type styles are hierarchical: Manual overrides replace any applied character styles, which in turn replace applied paragraph styles. This hiearchical approach lets you combine the efficiency of styles with the flexibility to customize your designs.
Tip: To create a style without first selecting text, click the Create New Style icon [ICON] at the bottom of the Paragraph or Character Styles panel. To edit a style without applying it to text, select an image layer, such as the Background.
Drawing
Vector layers
The Line and Shape tools now create fully vector-based objects. Apply strokes and fills using the options bar. Stroke objects with dashed lines and other designs. Fill objects with preset or user-defined gradients, colors, and patterns.
To later revise stroke and fill settings, simply select the object layer, and then select the Path Selection or Direct Selection tool.
Tip: To reduce anti-aliased edges, ensuring that vector objects look as sharp as possible, select Align Edges in the options bar.
Intuitive path editing
By default, dragging with the Direct Selection tool adjusts multiple related segments, letting you quickly transform path shapes. To edit only segments between selected anchor points, reflecting previous Photoshop versions, select Constrain Path Dragging in the options bar.
Video
Choose Window > Timeline to access the redesigned, clip-based Timeline panel, including transitions and effects that give finished videos professional polish. Easily change clip duration and speed, and apply motion effects to text, still images, and Smart Objects.
Video Groups combine multiple video clips and content such as text, images, and shapes on a single Timeline track. Separate audio tracks allow for easy editing and adjusting.
The redesigned video engine also supports a wider range of import formats. When you're ready to output final video, choose File > Export > Render To Video. Photoshop provides helpful presets and options for the DPX, H.264, and QuickTime formats.
Note: In Windows, you must install QuickTime separately.
Correcting wide-angle lenses
Choose Filter > Adaptive Wide Angle to quickly straighten lines that appear curved in panoramas or photos shot with fisheye and wide-angle lenses. The filter uses the physical characteristics of individual lenses to automatically correct images.
Fine-tune the adjustments with these options in the Adaptive Wide Angle dialog box:
In the upper left of the dialog box, choose the Constraint or Polygon Constraint tool. Then drag across key objects you want to straighten or align vertically or horizontally. (If necessary, right-click constraint lines in the image, and choose an orientation from the pop-up menu.)
In the upper right of the dialog box, choose the lens type and focal length, and adjust Scale andCrop Factor to compensate for any blank image areas the filter introduces. (To save and load customized settings for use with future images, click the menu icon.)
Tip: To see a visual representation of the transformations applied to the image, select Show Mesh at the bottom of the dialog box.
Photographic blur gallery
Choose Filter > Field Blur, Iris Blur, or Tilt-Shift to quickly create three distinct photographic blur effects with intuitive on-image controls.
Use Iris Blur to add one or more focus points to your photo. Then move the on-image controls to alter the size and shape of the focus points, the amount of blur in the rest of the image, and the transition between sharp and blurred areas.
For a different look, build a gradient blur effect using the Field Blur option, placing multiple pins with different blur amounts. Or align blur along one or more planes with the Tilt-Shift option.
With the blur adjustments complete, style the overall effect with Bokeh brightness and color controls.
Tip: Combine multiple blur types to produce creative results.
Camera Raw 7
Simplified Basic controls in the Develop tab improve highlight and shadow rendering. New local corrections are available for white balance, highlights, shadows, noise reduction, and moiré.
The new Basic sliders and new local adjustments options appear when you process new images or convert previously-processed images to Process Version 2012 (PV2012). To convert an image, click the exclamation-point icon in the lower-right corner of the image preview area.
Selecting and adjusting colors
Skin-tone selection and face-detection
Choose Select > Color Range. Then, from the top pop-up menu in the Color Range dialog box, choose Skin Tones to easily isolate those tones. To reduce the resulting selection to faces in the image, select Detect Faces.
Or, start off by selecting only faces: Choose Sampled Colors from the top pop-up menu, and then select Localized Color Clusters and Detect Faces. This approach lets you use the eyedropper samplers to refine the selection.
Note: To create a selection that preserves skin tones while you adjust the color of everything else, select Invert below the eyedropper samplers.
Improved Auto corrections
Perfectly enhance your images in a single step with improved Auto options for theLevels, Curves, and Brightness/Contrast adjustments.
Painting and patterns
Oil Paint filter
Choose Filter > Oil Paint to easily create the look of a classic painting.
Erodible and airbrush tips
Choose Window > Brush Presets to quickly access new erodible and airbrush tips, or Window > Brush to customize them.
Erodible pencils and pastels wear down naturally with use. Customize a variety of Brush Tip Shape options: Softness controls the rate of wear, Shape provides settings from flat to round, and Sharpen Tip returns to original crispness. As you paint, watch the amount of wear with the Live Brush Tip Preview to the upper left of the image.
Airbrush tips replicate spray cans with a 3D conical spray. Customize Brush Tip Shape options like Granularity,Spatter, Hardness, and Distortion controls. With a stylus, alter the spread of sprayed strokes by changing pen pressure.
Brush Pose holds stylus tilt, rotation, and pressure
Choose Window > Brush, and select Brush Pose to paint with a specified tilt, rotation, and pressure. Use a stylus to change the stroke relative to the default pose, or select Overrideoptions to maintain a static pose.
Brush Projection applies stylus tilt and rotation to tip shapes
Choose Window > Brush, and select Shape Dynamicsfrom the list at left. At the bottom of the options at right, select Brush Projection. As you paint with a stylus, changes to tilt and rotation alter the tip shape.
Color Dynamics remain consistent for each stroke by default
Color Dynamics settings automatically vary color as you paint. In previous versions of Photoshop, dynamics settings changed color for each distinct tip stamp in a stroke. In Photoshop CS6, however, dynamic changes occur once at the beginning of each stroke. This lets you vary color between strokes, rather than within each individual stroke.
To revert to the behavior of previous versions, choose Window > Brush, and select Color Dynamics from the list at left. At the top of the options at right, select Apply Per Tip.
Scripted patterns
Select Edit > Fill, choose Pattern from the Use menu, and then select Scripted Patterns to choose from several geometric options. Build sophisticated designs by combining these scripts with Custom Pattern presets and blending modes.
Workflow and workspace
Fresh new look
Work with a fresh, elegant interface with design enhancements like the following:
Select from four different brightness levels: Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Photoshop> Preferences (Mac OS). In the Interface section, select a Color Theme swatch.
Note: To quickly decrease interface brightness, press Shift + F1. To increase brightness, press Shift + F2.
On-image displays keep you informed as you use your favorite tools, showing dimensions for selections, angles for transformations, and more. To adjust the placement of these values, in the Interface preferences, choose an option from the Show Transformation Values menu.
A new Mini Bridge gallery offers easier access to images and documents. Choose Window >Extensions > Mini Bridge.
To maximize screen space, functions formerly in the application bar have moved elsewhere. To switch between Standard and Full Screen display modes, click the button at the bottom of the toolbar.
Speed from Mercury Graphics Engine
Experience blazing-fast interactions with processing intensive commands likeLiquify, Warp, Puppet Warp, and Crop.
Layer filtering
At the top of the Layers panel, new filtering options help you find key layers in complex documents quickly. Display subsets of layers based on name, kind, effect, mode, attribute, or color label.
Preset migration and sharing
Choose Edit > Presets > Migrate to easily move presets, workspaces, preferences, and settings from Photoshop CS3 and later to Photoshop CS6. Choose Edit > Presets > Export/Import PresetsYou should note the licence restrictions for the Apex 3.0 download
"Provided you have a current license to use Oracle database programs and are currently receiving technical support from our organization for such Oracle database programs, we grant you a nonexclusive, nontransferable limited license to use the programs solely for your internal business operations subject to the terms of this agreement and the license grants and restrictions set forth with your licensing of such Oracle database programs."
Mostly Apex 3.0 on XE will be an Apex licence violation unless you also have a support contract. -
How do I get new feature requests into oracle?
My main request, is an overhaul of the OEM homepage - Auto Refereshing set on, and geared more around the critical alerts and warnings, plus performance information. As it is there isn't a single page I can leave OEM on and get an up to date picture of our overall environment, without manually refreshing the home page and then navigating through several pages.
This gives me no excuse to ask for a plasma screen on the office wall, with OEM alerts on, amongst other important non-movie related items.
Edited by: user457649 on Oct 2, 2008 4:16 PMHi,
I am using the Dashboards in OEM to give an overview of the status and availability of our oracle environment and are using this dashboard on a screen on the wall. The dashboard will auto refresh.
First create a system which is a set of components that defines the system. I have 3 Oracle HTTP servers that I have defined as a system named 'HTTP System'.
Then create a generic service 'HTTP Services' and add the system you have just created. In this generic service you can define the availability and the service level rule.
Then go to the 'Reports' tab and mark the dashboard 'Services Monitoring Dashboard' and click 'Create Like'. Name your new report 'HTTP Dashboard', select 'Use the specified target' and go to the Elements tab.
Now click the 'Set Parameters' - Select the generic service 'HTTP Services' - click continue and then OK.
Open your report 'HTTP Dashboard'. This dashboard will show you the status and service level of the specified service and it will auto-refresh. If you want some performance and usage metrics on the dashboard you have to configure them in the generic service. When configuring performance and usage metrics it is also possible to define warning and critical thresholds and if the metric goes above the threshold you will be able to see that on the dashboard.
You can create more generic services and add them to you dashboard so that it eventually will give an overview of your environment.
Further information see the Oracle Enterprise Manager Concepts - Service Management. -
Mark Van De Wiel mentioned yesterday in this forum that OWB 9.2 is now available at http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/warehouse/content.html . From the version number it would appear that this is a major new release, and it's a separate install rather than a patch on OWB9.0.4.
Would Mark, Igor or Shauna be able to give us some background on the new features in this new release? From quickly looking at the release notes they would appear to be;
- Correlated Commit (committing changes across all targets uniformly)
- Ability to create public database links
- Direct PEL (removes the need for temporary tables when exchanging partitions)
- Enhanced Flat File Support
- Mapping Debugger
- Incorporation of ETL functionality previously found in standalone Pure*Integrate
- Metadata change management using the OWB GUI rather than using OMB*Plus
- Multiple Name and Address Software Providers
- Name/Address Wizard
- New Public API for OWB
- Better support for Real Application Clusters
- Advanced Repository Security and Audit options
- Support for MITI metadata bridges to third-party products
It would be good to know the thinking behind these and what areas they think will be particularly of interest to us. Also, has anything been removed or changed that we've got used to using?
Also, any day now (fingers crossed) the patch to make the OLAP functionality in OWB9.0.4 work (the 9i 9.2.0.3.x patch?) should be out - will this work with OWB9.2 as well?
Many thanks
Mark Rittman
[email protected]Hi Mark,
While I'm not in your list of people to respond I figure I give it a go anyways :-)
The list of features you mentioned is a nice summary. One of the main release themes is data quality as you noticed. Apart from changes to the name&address functionality we also added the advanced matching and merging into this release. So you can use custom rules to match and merge data. This also allows you to do things like householding for customer data records. In essence we have now completed the integration of Pure*Integrate into Warehouse Builder.
The mapping debugger is another big thing. This allow you to walk through your mappings and see in detail what happes to the data.
The metadata change management is now in the UI. THis means there is now object level version management in Warehouse Builder via the UI. You can also compare versions and get a difference report.
As you mentioned there are a number of smaller and bigger features next to this. The idea for this release is to make OWB a top Data Quality product and allow you to do your ETL and DQ in one tool. Apart from that we have added usability features (debugger, N&A wizard) and we have added some features to solve specific problems.
Especially the corelated commit is interesting in that respect. You can now, in a map with multiple targets control the commit, and choose to either commit all targets or none, or commit them individually (current behavior).
As usual there is a lot more, as this is indeed a major release. Keep an eye on OTN for more collateral regarding the new features. We are currently updating the site to reflect the new stuff.
On the OLAP patch, both 9.0.4 and 9.2 will work equally well with the OLAP patch (when it is available). In 9.2 we added some small thing around composites. More about that when there is an OLAP patch to test this one on in a customer site.
I hope this answered the question, if not let me know.
