Camera-to-plate CMYK help

We recently upgraded to CS5 from PageMaker and have begun using InDesign to paginate a broadsheet newspaper, printed on our King offset web press. Although we plan to upgrade to CTP asap, for now we need to continue with our old production workflow, which is printing separations to a Xante Accel-Writer, shooting those with a camera and generating plates. We're happy with our results for black and white, but are pretty sure our halftone settings are wrong for CMYK. The dot pattern just isn't there and our colors are coming out poorly. We notice that the North American press setting in Bridge assumes that we use a CTP. Can anyone help with proper color settings in InDesigns, and/or Bridge and Photoshop in CS5 for our workflow? Thanks.

The dot pattern just isn't there and our colors are coming out poorly.
Color Settings affect color conversions RGB>CMYK or CMYK>RGB, but not dot patterns. If you are having problems with halftone angles or dot rendering the problem is with the output device and/or the camera.
InDesign to paginate a broadsheet newspaper, printed on our King offset web press....North American press setting in Bridge assumes that we use a CTP
North American Prepress preset uses the US Web Coated profile for CMYK conversions, which would not be the correct profile for printing on newsprint. Ideally you would want to have a custom profile made from a target press sheet, if that's not possible at least use a newspaper profile like SNAP 2009.

    Hey,
    I have Final Cut Express 4.0.1 and a JVC everio camera.
    Whenever i try to import my files to FCE via "Log and transfer", it just doesn't do anything, as if FCE doesn't know the camera is there,
    please help !

    FCE 4.0.1 can only capture DV/HDV which is produced by cameras using Mini-DV TAPES and cameras shooting AVCHD which is a high definition format.
    If your camera shoots standard definition on Memory Cards, DVDs or Hard Drives it will not work in FCE.

    my iphone 5 32 gb has an camera autofocus problem, please help me solve this

    Hi teejayfs,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you've noticed unexpected behavior with your iPhone camera, start with these steps to isolate or resolve the issue:
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

  • Camera Raw - saving photos- help!

    I edit my photos in camera raw, and after clicking "done", I save my photos in another folder on my computer. This has never been a problem until recently. When I go to that folder to open the photo, the photo is somewhat blurry, grainy, and the color is not at all what it looked like when I saved it from camera raw. I have been trying all day to figure out where I went wrong.  I have tried saving as pjeg, tif, psd from raw  - opening to PS and saving different ways from there - exporting instead of "saving".       ----  because this is something that just started yesterday I am wondering if there is something I clicked by accident in camera raw to make this happen. PLEASE help!!! thanks so much!!

    The small pixilated preview image sounds like a thumbnail embedded by the camera and the full-res preview is not getting updated and it used to be.
    How are you saving your photos after you click Done and how are you viewing those photos after they are saved?  Are you creating copies of your raw files as JPGs and looking at those, or are you expecting the embedded previews in the raw files to change after clicking Done in ACR?
    Do you save ACR edits to XMP sidecar files or to a central camera-raw database.  This is in the ACR preferences, somewhere.

  • Out of sync audio when trying to capture from digital 8 camera to quicktime, please help

    Just trying to capture hi 8 tapes using a sony digital 8 dcr-trv355e pal into quicktime;
    great clear video but  audio becomes out of sync like a bad kungfu movie,
    contacted apple they tried to help, but they dont really understand issue
    there are lots of people out there that are trying to digitise old analog video;
    I have fcpx and imovie they both play the old video via  the digital 8 camera but cannot capture;
    that is why using quicktime; thanks!!

    Yes i think its something to do ith the fact its a wmv file, when i use mpeg footage it exports fine.
    basically, no matter how long the video, the video is out of sync...its weird
    i've decided the best thing to do is leave quicktime and export using windows media instead, that seems to give me a better looking picture witha small file size anyway
    thanks for your help though!

  • IOS 8 - Disentangling Camera Roll and Photostream - help!

    In iOS 8, Apple removed the “Camera Roll” and “Photostream” albums and collapsed them into a single stream of photos on the camera that can be accessed under “Collections”.  “Collections” also includes all other photos otherwise loaded onto the phone, e.g., via iPhoto. This new arrangement upsets several familiar ways in which I’ve been using my iPhone and its camera, and I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for how to recapture a few simple functions.  (I have submitted Feedback on the elimination of the Camera Roll, and with this post I am looking for practical solutions to a series of new problems.)
    Question #1.  I maintained my Camera Roll as a reasonably-well curated set of maybe 300 photos & videos, taken on my phone, that I could pull up easily to show to people.  I would like to know if there is a way to restore that functionality in iOS 8.  “Recently added” does not go back far enough (one of my favorites was the very first photo I took with any iPhone, back in 2007); and “Collections” shows way too much – it includes everything in Photostream, as well as photos from Albums of scans, non-iPhone photos and other sources that I’ve synced to the phone with iPhoto.  Thousands of photos.  I also don’t care for the way in which Collections interrupts the thumbnails with date and location information.
    Question #2.  I kept Photostream turned on on my phone, because I liked the idea of automatically uploading photos to the cloud, particularly on trips when I was not in a position to download the photos directly to a computer for backup and safekeeping.  However, now that Apple has eliminated the distinction between “photos in my pocket” and “photos in the cloud”, it appears that whenever I want to delete a photo from my phone (e.g. to save space) I must also delete the corresponding Photostream copy.  Is there a way, with Photostream on, to delete local photos without also deleting the copy that has been uploaded to the cloud?
    Question #3.  I have a few old iOS devices that I let my kids use.  They like to take photos and screenshots.  Most of them are pretty stupid but once in a while they do something great. I’ve left Photostream on on those devices to see what they’re up to, and to capture the occasional gem.  This was fine, when “Photostream” was a separate Album that I could look at, or not, as I chose.  In iOS 8 however, all of their junk photos appear in “Collections” and are as much a part of my phone’s photo repository as the carefully-curated Camera Roll photos used to be.  Is there a way to keep Photostream photos out of my “Collection”?
    Question #4.  I suppose someone could write an app that does nothing but display photos that were captured by, and reside physically, on the device.  Perhaps someone already has, if anyone knows.  Of course I’d prefer to use the native app for this function, but I’d take the function over nativity if I had to choose.
    Question #5. Does anyone know (“know” – please no speculation, and nothing that an NDA forbids) how the iCloud Photo Library, which dropped back to beta in the final release of iOS 8, works? Does it provide the backup and safekeeping function of Photostream, along with the ability to view that set of photos separately?  If so then I could turn off Photostream and at least get rid of that clutter.
    Thanks for any and all help.  And by way of reminder - https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html .

    Here's one, eh, kludgy fix for Question #1.  I don't exactly recommend it - it can be pretty laborious - but in the end it seems to get me back to about where I started with my Camera Roll.
    Go into "Collections" and scroll back to about the date at which you expect to find your first native iPhone photo.  (I have many imported photos that predate iPhone, so I can't just look at the first ones.)  Tap through until you are looking at a single photo.  Look at the bottom.  If it displays a "Favorites" heart, it's physically on your iPhone (and as best I can tell, was taken by the device).  Tag it as a favorite.  Swipe to the next photo.  Skip if it shows no Favorites heart - that means it's not on your phone - and tag it if it does.
    At the end of this process (did I mention it's laborious?), you should have a Favorites album that matches the photos that were on your Camera Roll when you upgraded to iOS 8.

  • No Video / i Sight Cam No Longer Works - HELP!

    I have been using iSight's internal cam with no problems. Today, after a freeze, i had to shut down using the button on the back of the computer. No video programs show the video preview. The camera lights, and I get no error messages. The screen just is black. I have on occassion, seen faint views of myself.

  • Wireless transfer of photos from camera to Macbook Pro (help)

    Im sorry if this might not be the correct place to ask about it but Im going to give it a try.
    I know this can be done because professionals are doing it across the globe already.
    I just purchased a Canon 50D along with a WFT-E3A wireless transmitter. I shoot professional Lacrosse in Chicago and for the first time will be trying out the possibility of sending photos straight from my camera to my new Macbook Pro. If this works then my next purchase is going to be the WFT-E2 and a Canon 1D MK III to complete the process.
    The main idea is that I will be doing shooting all over the arena and just sending them back to my laptop and having my assistant taking care of post processing of them and then uploading to a website.
    But now comes the fun part.
    Because this is one step above me setting up a normal wireless network like I have at home for me to get onto the internet. I don't really know where to start on setting up a specific network and configuring it to just have the camera and computer "talk" to each other.
    My thoughts are that I would like to have one specific network setup for my laptop at the games when shooting. And then just bring it back home and switch it back over to the normal network I have set up to get my internet wirelessly.
    I have been talking with several Genius people here in Madison and was told there are two types of networks to set up, Ad Hoc and Infrastructure.
    I have been told to set it up an infrastructure network because this is going to give me widest range for me to be further away from my computer.
    The question that is puzzling most of the Genius people and myself is this. Should I have one or several base stations placed somewhere in the arena between me and the computer helping me out so I don't lose signal between the two devices?
    If that is the case how would I set up the base station in order to relay or transmit the signal from my laptop to my camera?
    After I get this portion all set up I think it isn't going to be an issue of getting the camera to talk with my laptop. But that is another issue that I will need to pose to other photographers or maybe a canon rep directly.
    Ok Im all ears now!
    Thanks,
    Ross

    There is more than one date that can be associated with an image, and I think you're running into different programs displaying different dates. This is not a comprehensive list but:
    Capture date: Date and time the photo was recorded by the camera clock, stored in EXIF camera data.
    Created date: Date and time the photo was first saved to disk by photo software on a computer
    Modified date: Date and time the edited photo was last saved to disk by photo software on a computer
    Archived date: I'm not really sure but I see this in detailed photo information too.
    Furthermore, these dates can be stored in various additional date fields in other IPTC metadata sections, and various software might not write or read them in the same ways as other software.
    But what I think is going on in your case is that the iPhoto Info panel is displaying the Capture Date from the camera recorded EXIF data, but what you see in the Finder are the Created and Modified dates.
    If I'm right, then LexSchellings' column suggestion may not work because all you would get is the File Created date, not the camera recorded Capture Date. I do not know of a way to display camera EXIF capture date in the Finder. Generally, organizing photos using that data is done using a photo management app like iPhoto, Picasa, Apple Aperture, Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Bridge, Media Pro, etc., not on the desktop.
    If you were able to view the Capture Date in Windows Explorer, then that's an advantage that Windows Explorer (the desktop) had over the Finder. I've seen other cases where the Finder couldn't do something Windows Explorer could, so I wouldn't be surprised.
    As far as the duplicates, I don't really know but I did a search at macupdate.com and you might want to check some of these utilities that can help resolve duplicates.
    MacUpdate search on "duplicate photo"
    macupdate.com is a great place to look for Mac software if you didn't find it in the Mac App Store.

  • Iphone 6 speaker having echoes! And camera keep freezing. Help!

    My one month old iPhone 6 having some problem. First the camera tends to lag or sometimes blackout when I want to take photo. Secondly, the speaker has echoes. Please assist. Am I eligible to exchange for a new unit?

    Are you using a case around the phone that covers the microphones? If yes, take it off and try again. Same for protective film on the screen of the phone.
    As for the camera issue, did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.

  • N70 camera and photo quality help

    I've just bought a Nokia N70 and I have a question that I hope somebody will answer. Is it normal for the photo to loose its quality, to become unclear after you take it and you zoom it? Usually after I take a photo, I go back to the phone gallery and it looks fine in the normal mode, i.e. 100%, but after I zoom it for example 25% or 50% it looks worse, unclear, a poor quality. Is it normal or is something wrong with my phone? Thanks in advance...

    The N70 has quite a good camera on it (in good light).
    Once you take the picture, the quality of it will not change. When you are taking the picture itself if you zoom in on a subject then the quality of the picture will decrease accordingly. The best quality can be obtained when the camera is not zoomed at all.
    There are occasions that I have noticed in the gallery that the picture will look quite pixelated - the cure for this is either to wait for a few moments for the N70's processor to clarify the image or to quit the gallery and go back into it.
    If you transfer an unzoomed image off to a PC the quality will be fine.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Edward
