Camera Settings and Printing -off topic

Hi Everyone;
My teenage cousin is going on a trip to Europe for a few weeks and she will be taking alot of digital pictures with her Canon point & shoot camera ( 5 MP SD30), but will not be able to unload her images from the SD card. She already has Three Cards totaling 1.5 GBs and does not want to buy more.
So in order to increase the number images the card will hold, do you recommend lowering the resolution OR lowering the image quality by increasing the JPEG compression in the camera settings, for the purposes of printing ? ( obviously not all her images, but she may want to have some for her school yearbook, friends etc ).
This is a question I have asked myself with my own digital cameras, over the years, if i have to shoot JPEG i usually have the settings to MAX resolution and Lowest compression, in case i want to print some.
Also what would you recommend as the lowest resolution setting (in general, with any camera) if you want to print the following sizes?
4 X 6
5 X 7
8 X 10 or US Letter
Thanks in advance, and i realize this is a little off topic.

When I try and print off a list of my contacts, it defaults to an envelope. How do I make a list of just the names?

When I try and print off a list of my contacts, it defaults to an envelope style, with all the info. I just want a list of names. How do I do that?

Thanks so much Martin. It took me awhile to figure out that in the print mode, there is an arrow that expands the print dialog box. I've been looking for the print dialog box for awhile, and now that I found it, I could make my list. Thank you SO much!! I can show my computer savvy husband that I learned something new today!!! I'm SO happy!!!

MQ, eSQL and CLOBs (Off Topic)

Hi,
Apologies for this way off topic post, but I figured someone here may know the answer to this one and save me some time digging / testing.
We're designing a middleware hub using WBIMB (MQ) v5 and have the option of
a. Sending a message to a JMS Listener that will write an entry in a database via JDBC
b. Having the broker flow insert the record using a compute node / java node.
If we choose option b my preference would be to use eSQL, but the database table has a CLOB column and I'm not sure whether this is supported.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help,
Steve

Hello Huffer Many thanks for your prompt reply. I have been doing a bit more research and came across an old spec for a "lenovo" hard-disk (HDD) with 320GB capacity used in numerous ThinkPads. Unfortunately it does not include the X300 model that i have. The full details can be found HERE. The height of the HDD is 7 (SEVEN) mm. I may be paranoid but can you please just confirm that the lenovo X300 ThinkPads (see full details above) with the 320GB HDD really have a height of 9.5mm and so will be able to take the HDD 2.5" with 2TB that I plan to buy. If the height really is only 7m then I have a problem. Then I think that i will have to go up my idea of increasing the storage space. If you cannot answer the question with 100% certitude then I will have to reopen the laptop and measure the space available but that is a pain since I am new to all this and afraid of damaging the HDD. Thanks. Cheers. Steve.

How can I stop Acrobat from overriding a printer's draft settings and printing in photo quality?

Regardless of which settings I choose for my printer, Acrobat always prints in maximum quality.
The printer works as expected with every other application I have, from Photoshop, Word and Pages, to Preview and Mail. But when I print a PDF via Acrobat or Reader, the printer lays down so much ink that the paper sometimes comes out damp.
If it matters, the printer is an Epson Stylus Photo 1400, and I'm using Acrobat 8.2.6 and Reader 10.0.3 on a Mac Pro running OS 10.6.7.
To reiterate, every other app I use respects the Epson printer dialog settings when it comes to printing in economy mode. I've looked around in Acrobat's print settings and can find absolutely nothing along the lines of "print in draft quality." Am I the only person who doesn't want, or need, to burn up expensive printer cartridges unnecessarily?
This has been a problem since I bought the software, and it behaved the same way with my old printer (an Epson Stylus Photo 800). I don't need to print very many PDFs, but when I do, the printer wastes an enormous amount of ink.
I'm not looking for a workaround, I just want to be able to open a PDF in Acrobat or Reader, hit CMD-P, choose the economy print setting, and have it actually print in low resolution.
Being able to print a draft copy of a PDF seems to be a perfectly reasonable expectation when using software from the very company that developed the PDF standard in the first place.
Any help would be appreciated.

Understood. I've already checked for driver updates, and am already using the most current version. I really appreciate your trying to help, ... let's hope someone out there has some suggestions, too.
Cheers,
Francis

Forum Atom feed and the Off-Topic forum

I'm subscribed via https://bbs.archlinux.org/extern.php?ac … der=posted and I've just noticed I don't get any notification if a new thread gets opened in Off-Topic forum. I haven't yet checked if any other forum is also excluded.
I know that I can subscribe to this forum via 'Subscribe to this forum' but according to http://projects.archlinux.org/vhosts/bb … extern.php the default feed shouldn't miss any subforums, as there are no nfids mentioned.
What am I missing?

As I recall off-topic, dustbin, and TGN are log-in so that moderation there can be slightly more lenient, since its guaranteed its only our community in the place (no lurkers)? Not part of the 'main' forums in that sense, then.
EDIT: lurkers and/or bots, which is the main point.
This is correct. We don't want someone to type "Arch Linux" in a search engine and to get, as the first link, an off-topic forum thread about some random absurdities or some TGN rant. The same goes with someone visiting the forum to see what kind of community Arch Linux has before installing it. It's a question of giving a good first impression while still being able to have a good time.

Newbie photographer, question about in-camera settings and RAW

I have a Nikon D200, and I can make a wealth of in-camera settings that would greatly mitigate the amount of post-production processing that I would have to do. Nikon's own RAW Capture NX software reads these settings. I'm assuming that Aperture doesn't read (most) of them (with, perhaps, the exception of White Balance, and maybe Hue). Is there a reference somewhere of what in-camera settings are preserved by Aperture on a RAW import?
Thanks in advance,
Mark Taber

It's a pretty safe assumption that no raw editor except the OEM version will remember the in-camera settings, aside from white balance.
Why's that? Because those settings don't really do anything anyway - they are just advance instructions for the converter.

Green Screen Camera Settings and other questions...

Hoping you guys can help me out :-)
I have a Sony AX2000 HD camera and am a wanna-be pro. I've been trying to perfect my green screen operation. I think I have the lighting down and can play around with PE8 green screen or chroma key effect to my satisfaction. My problem is that I am very dissatisfied with the video quality. I'm shooting at full HD 1920x1080 resolution, and although the AVCHD video that my camera creates is awesome, when I create my final product, the video is awful.
This project is for online viewing mostly, although I need to provide DVD's too. I do not need HD, but assumed shooting in HD and reducing it down MUST be better than shooting in standard DV mode. I guess I assumed wrong? (Just been reading this - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/593946?tstart=0)
I'm also wondering about my camera settings. I had everything on auto, but I read somewhere using the manual focus, and turning down the gain helps - especially with the first problem I had which was noise. Actually, I improved this some with lighting, but blacks in particular seemed "noiser" than I found acceptable...
The other problem I have is fast movement. If my subject is throwing their arms around at any decent pace, even creating a high definition MPEG give me some terrible motion blur... then I realized even just creating a HD MPEG of the original video without the chromakey effect gives me sub standard quality, compared to the original AVCHD file. After searching this forum, I think I might have found the problem. I need to check my project settings to make sure they match the source files... I'll post again once I've tried this and let you guys know if it works...
Any other tips/thoughts out there?

OK - I discovered today that I was in fact using the wrong presets in Premier Elements. Rectifying that little detail gave me MUCH improved ouput - both for the MPEGS and even the standard DVD (although it still has the "home made" look to it rather than the TV clarity I would expect, it's a million times better than what I had).
Now I understand the basics of presets, I also discovered I wasn't using the best my camera had to offer either. I had it set to HD 1080 60i HQ – I found out the HQ translates to approx 9mbps (when this can be increased to 24mbps by using the FX option) - also the HQ was also giving me 1440x1080 resolution (when the FX could take me up to 1920x1080). So, I'm hoping for even better results tomorrow.
So, here are todays questions:
1.) The 60i part of the preset. Presumably the higher the frame rate the better, but how about the progressive v. interlacing - ie. is one better than the other for chroma key? Or does the fact that I'm going to be using this for web viewing (F4V format) and DVD's affect this decision?
2.) I took Steve's advice and downloaded Premier Pro. Immediately I came up against a problem. It seems like I don't have a suitable preset to choose. Further, when I tried to import my files directly from the camera's memory stick, it said they weren't supported. Adobe say the trial version is without limits, so any idea what the problem is here?

Color settings and printing

I have created a custom monitor profile and use this to optimise the results from my printer. If I am sending my photos else where to print or emailing them, should I use this profile or the default sRGB profile or is the AdobeRBG even better.
Thanks

Your custom monitor profile is only used for display purposes not printing.
Monitor Profiles and Printer Profiles are independent of each other.
When printing you need to use a Printer Profile that matches the printer and paper. If you are sending your images out then you should check with the print shop. Typically they will expect images in sRGB.

A question about monitor settings and printing?

I have a new PC with an HD monitor, it didn't come with an HDMI cable, but a VGA one, I recently got the HDMI and I noticed that comparatively when using the VGA cable & using the default monitor settings that the darks were darker than when using the HDMI with default settings, (the colour depth looked best with the VGA) I'm using PE9 and need to make an image to have printed at the printers, I would love to use the HDMI cable, but I'm concerned that if I do (and I change the monitors default settings for contrast, hue...etc to compensate) that... it will have been edited here one way and look totally different on the print shops monitor...
... So, how can I be sure it will come back from the printers looking the same as I had edited it?
Should I give up with the HDMI cable? I also have PrE 9 for video editing, so I'm a bit confused at to what is best to do...
Thanks.

There are no free calibration tools. Like most things you get what you pay for. However, the low end versions are quite good, so take a look at the Xrite Huey.
This will get your display calibrated which ensures you see the best rendering of the image on screen. It does not guarantee good print matching since this also requires a print colour managed process and good viewing conditions.
Colour settings in Elements are mis-leading. They apply to new documents being created in Elements or to images being opened that don't contain a colour profile. Virtually all JPEG images from cameras will have a profile tagged in them. So choose any setting but not the one that says 'No Colour Management'. The best default in my opinion is 'Optimise for Screen'

Export settings and printing advice for A0 sized poster

hi all.
i have an A0 sized poster (33" x 46") that i am sending off in the mail and while i have notes here somewhere on correct settings at 24 x 36 i was just hoping to get a second opinion on this. the poster will be at an architecture/design conference and i'd like to retain as much detail as possible.
i will be printing at some US printing shop and i'd also love recommendations on what type of paper or other suggestions on media.
THANK YOU for any advice.
Jon

OK, two posters is definitely an inkjet job.
There is no need to export anything to jpeg, unless you are referring to compression of images during the Export to PDF. I mean, as far as effective resolution, the resolution of any raster images you've placed onto the poster. You can read that (ignore the Actual PPI number, you only care about Effective PPI) in either the Info panel with the image selected, or in the Links panel under the link info. Vectors and type don't get rasterized under normal circumstances and scale without degradation in the layout. In the export settings you can set images to downsample to as low as 150 ppi for inkjet work and get satisfactory results, but if you can keep it at 200 ppi or higher and still have a file of managable size I would.
Previewing in ID is iffy. Check the PDF.

6220 classic GPS, camera sound and flash off

Hello,
How do I do the following (if possible)on the 6220 classic:
1.) Use GPS without going online (i've tried everything doesn't seem to work)?
2.) Turn off the shutter sound when using camera?
3.) Turn off automatic flash (it keeps switching back on)?
Thank you for any response.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you for your response!
Exactly, it has never locked into position. It searches for satelites but doesnt find them (even if I turn off A-GPS).
Question: Could you explain what you meant with WLAN as an access point, since the phone doesnt come with WiFi?
My positioning server is set on 'automatic'
Accespoint: 'obligatory' (or similar, transl. from swedish)
Serveraddress: 'something with ...3gpnetwork.org'*
* sorry, dont want to give it out completly, could be a specifik user setting from my mobile operator.
Thank you

How do I delete items stored in the cloud and clear it so I can get it working? It will not store any more photos. I cannot use it. It is almost full. I don't want to buy any more storage at this time. I delegated some photos on my iPad and MacBook and nothing changes.

# Yes, if you go to accounts.firefox.org, sign out, you will now be signed out.
# Sign back in, and you will be asked to save the password you entered.
# This will save the password and autocomplete if you have this option turned on.
I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]

I have lost my "settings" and "photos" off the screen

I can type their name in and they are on my phone, but the icon is gone from my screen - how do I get them back?

You cannot delete them.
They are likely on another page or in a folder.
If not, then reset your home screen layout.
