Camera vs. Slacker

Hello, Im new to BlackBerry. When I try to use the camera on the my BB Tour (Verizon) after using the Slacker Radio app, I get the following message: "Could Not start the camera. Close other applications and try open the camera again." Even when all other apps are closed. Can anyone tell me how I can close out of Slacker Radio.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Are you sure the other apps are closed? Using the red or back keys does not always properly close apps...those keys leave it to the app to decide what to do...some will close, some will remain resident, some will give you the choice, etc. Rather, clicking the BBKey and selecting "Close" or "Exit" will fully close apps and free up the resources for other apps. But, it will never be perfect...BBs are tiny computers and prone to the same issues as larger computers...memory leaks, etc. Proper hard reboots are the proper way to truly clear out memory and recover all resources for use.
Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Camera Raw 7.1 Columnar Color Artifacts

Adobe: For some reason you wouldn't listen when these problems were reported during beta and you went ahead and released the new version, so I'm not sure I should even bother, but here goes:
Camera Raw 7.1 introduces columnar artifacts in the red color channel (that I've seen), apparently as a result of the operation of the new half-baked defringing features. I've seen this in a number of images.
Here's a raw Canon EOS-40D file and associated XMP with which you can reproduce the problem. Look at the red channel in the blue water of the pool.
http://Noel.ProDigitalSoftware.com/ForumPosts/IMG_5037.zip
Now convert the same file with version 7.0 (or 7.1 with the Defringe sliders set to 0) and compare the result.
Trouble is, without being able to use the Defringe (Purple/Green) features at all, and considering the Defringe: All Edges feature has been removed, edge artifacts from the debayering process get to be unacceptable.
Let me spell out for you what you need to do, in case it isn't obvious:
1. You need to bring back the Defringe: Off / Highlight Edges / All Edges feature that you had in 7.0 and earlier.
2. You need to fix this new slider-based defringe facility so that it doesn't do such nasty things to the image. I'd advise you to listen to Vit Novak's input on what else to do to it.
With BOTH of these things done, between the two one could actually hope to get an improved result over the conversions from 7.0. Fixing the second alone won't cut it.

Back off? I should heed your expert advice on avoiding confrontation, Jeff? I have to assume by your unwavering support of Adobe on this issue that you are looking forward to having stylish artifacts like these in your own images. I guess this will define your new style for 2012. LOL
All the slack that's going to be cut on this has already been cut.
Hey, I could have just quietly dropped back to 7.0 and just have my own images be superior to those made by those using 7.1, but no - I chose to try to help Adobe by pointing out a problem to them here.
When I reported this problem during the beta, I was clearly ignored. When I reported it again after the release, I was argued-with.
I don't need to be argued-with nor reasoned-with - Adobe needs to listen to people who know what they're talking about. People not blindly praising the emperor's new clothes.
I don't need nor expect appreciation, but I had thought I might have earned enough respect around here that Adobe's first response wouldn't be "choose different settings, stupid".
An output image quality problem should be a release show-stopper. Experts like me and Vit telling Adobe that their latest color fringing reduction changes aren't working well enough should be considered seriously. Instead, it's just business as usual: Release whatever's in the pipeline.
Adobe's dropping quality standards are something I find myself wanting less and less to be associated with each passing day.

Camera Raw 7 Speed - Can We Hope for GPU Acceleration?

Photoshop CS6 in general in my environment seems about as fast as CS5 and better in some ways, but Camera Raw 7 is slower than Camera Raw 6.6. This is not unexpected, given that the process is more sophisticated, but my question is this:
Now that we see that Photoshop in general, with the MPE, is able to use OpenCL on capable GPUs, will we be seeing Camera Raw make use of OpenCL to achieve faster screen updates, and ultimately faster overall conversions in the near future? In a 7.x update perhaps?
The competition does it.

List of Camera types and Black and White.

Sorry for being slack but I've struggled with the differences between similar named camera options on my 920. Is there a page that lists and descibes these different options and how they differ and fit together? Also, what is the easiest way to either take a photo in black and white or change a photo later? As always when on a forum I'm thinking this is all obvious but I'll get there in the end. Cheers Tim.

Hi, corvus13. Are you referring to the Nokia Camera settings such as focus, ISO and shutter? If yes, these videos and articles in this link might interest you:
http://conversations.nokia.com/tag/nokia-pro-camera-tutorial/
As for your other question, this will depend on your preferences. You can edit your photos after taking them. Surely, the Store has a lot of camera editing apps that you can use like Nokia Glam Me:

Camera Automounts But I Can't Access Images

I've been plugging away at Arch Linux for a bit now in an attempt to get to know Linux better. I've ran into a problem that I can't seem to figure out. Current configuration is Openbox with Thunar as my volume manager.
I've gotten automount to work and it detects USB sticks just fine. I can plug in my Nikon camera and it autodetects.
I'm using a small photo management program called Mirage for the time being till I get things sorted out. I can set Thunar to access Mirage whenever a camera is plugged in. Whenever I plug the Nikon in, Mirage pops up, but then I get a root access error ("could not access the contents of root, Access Denied") when I try to access images.
I've followed the wiki here. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Digital_Cameras with no luck.

Ultimately it looks like my user is not authorized for the camera group, or the camera is not setting up under the camera group. I'm missing something somewhere. I know I added the user to the camera group.

I tried using console kit but that killed any attempt at mounting drives period. The last post I made was with console kit placed prior to my dbus-launch in .xinitrc. So, that's fixed. I can actually read my Pentax camera. I can't read the Nikon. So it's definitely Nikon specific.

Why did I buy a camera connector?

Still totally perplexed by the fact that I cannot group pictures into albums on the ipad, but must route them through itunes from my laptop. (if I understand the advice I was given correctly) Now I am thinking that the camera connector that I bought will be returned, because it does not do me any good to have a huge group of photos just sitting there on my ipod unsorted and the connector may not even work with a Kodak camera.

I believe you're correct, Kitoko. In my case it seems that downloading photos to the iPad from a SIM card will put them into an album of their own, but any photos I add by other means cannot be sorted once on the iPad. I can't believe that Apple created such an anemic app as "Photos" for the iPad.
It seems that they believe that third-party apps can take up the slack. If that's the case (as I admit it IS on a computer), why even bother to pre-install anything like Photos at all?
I hope that someone else weighs in on this, otherwise it's off to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html for me!

Recorded Video / Pandora Radio / Slacker Radio / YouTube Not Working

I got my Droid X about 3 weeks ago and updated to 2.2 OTA same day. Haven't done anything drastic with it; downloaded a few apps and games, but everything has been working fine.....until yesterday. I tried to open up Pandora Radio and got the "We're having unexpected technical difficulties" error. Then I tried Slacker Radio and it just hangs on the station and never plays. When I try to play a video using the YouTube widget and get "Sorry, this video cannot be played. There was a problem while playing."
Trying to play a video recorded using the phone I get "Error. File cannot be displayed or played." Does anybody know what might be going on? This is really frustrating. Did a battery pull and pulled the SD card as well. Tried a factory reset this morning and that didn't work either. Don't really want to send my phone back for replacement as I don't want to be without a phone, but am I out of options?

Now I just noticed that my video camera force closes too....help!
What app are you using to play the videos?
It sounds like there might be a problem with an app you have installed. On a side note, I recall having an issue similar to this back when I had both Slacker and Pandora installed. It may have been just a coincidence but I uninstalled both of them and after a battery pull and reset things were fine. I also noticed that Pandora seemed to cause my phone to lockup after about 20 mins of radio play. I haven't tried Pandora again since then so it may have just been an issue with that particular version.

IPOD recognized as Camera by the PC

My ITUNES was filled with a lots of old music I didn't want from my original download 6 months ago. So I deleted all the music on ITUNES with the intent to re-install with only the songs I wanted that were coming from my Windows Media Player.
To do this, I deleted the ITUNES. I then went to ITUNES and copied the songs from Windows Media Player to ITUNES using File > Add Folder to Library, which copied fine and plays on ITUNES without any issue. I then tried to sync my IPOD to the ITUNES from my PC and the problem started.
When I attach my IPOD to my USB port in my Window XP PC, it recognizes it as a Camera/Scanner, not as an IPOD. This also shows as the connected device in "My Computer". Obviously,it does not sync my songs to a camera.
How or what settings can I adjust to make it recognize the IPOD as an IPOD and sync the music from the ITUNES? I cannot find any settings in the IPOD that addresses this or on the ITUNES screen.
(I am very new at this, so cut me a little slack for asking this rudimentary question.)

First, try disabling the camera notification for the iPod. See this article for details on how to do this.

Problem with threads and camera.

Hi everybody!
I've a problem with taking snapshot.
I would like to display a loading screen after it take snapshot ( sometimes i
have to wait few seconds after i took snapshot. Propably photo is being taken in time where i have to wait).
I was trying to use threads but i didn't succeed.
I made this code:
display.setCurrent(perform);
        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                while((!performing.isShown()) && (backgroundCamera.isShown())){
                    Thread.yield();
                notifyAll();
        }).start();
        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                try {
                    this.wait();
                } catch(Exception e) {
                    exceptionHandler(e);
                photo = camera.snapshot();
                display.setCurrent(displayPhoto);
        }).start();This code is sometimes showing performing screen but sometimes no.
I don't know why. In my opinion performing.isShown() method isn't working correctly.
Does anyone have some idea how to use threads here?

Hi,
I've finally managed to work this fine.
The code:
       Object o = new Object();
       display.setCurrent(perform);
        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                while(!performing.isShown()){
                    Thread.yield();
               synchronized(o) {
                  o.notify();
        }).start();
        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                try {
                    synchronized(o) {
                       o.wait(1);
                } catch(Exception e) {
                    exceptionHandler(e);
                photo = camera.snapshot();
                display.setCurrent(displayPhoto);
        }).start();

i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Adobe Bridge in Photoshop - How to install Bridge and camera raw? And what is it all about?

Hi everyone! I am actually in love with this adobe photoshop. I used PSCS2 before, but later on upgraded to CS4. But I feel tired in upgrading to CS5.
One time, I found a tutorial in youtube about camera raw, and would really want to use it. But I was wondering how to install the camera raw. I believe camera raw is a plugin? so I downloaded the plugin here, installed it in my PS. I downloaded a file Camera Raw.8bi and paste it on my C drive - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\File Formats.
I now am very confused, how will I open it? I do not have adobe bridge! After I installed the camera raw, I opened my PS. I clicked the file>then browse in bridge. I had an error, it's "error 2 photoshop11 undefined". Which is what I thought, I might have done something wrong with installing it.
My question is, do you still need adobe bridge installed in order to use camera raw?
If yes, how does it work? How am I suppose to open camera raw?
If no, how am I going to open camera raw without bridge?
And also, where will I download adobe bridge? I cannot find one here for CS4, only adobe bridge for CS5. I am wondering, is it okay to install adobe bridge CS5 and use it with my PS CS4?
I badly need help!

WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is a set of extensions to HTTP/1.1.
The main difference from FTP as far as I can see is that it allows you to edit documents on a remote web server.
WebDAV was used by the Apple server - MobileMe but is not generally supported by hosting services.
Using WebDAV you can mount a directory locally. This was how iDisk worked on your Mac and you could drag files onto it to upload them to the remote directory.
With WebDAV, a number of users can share a directory which is why its used in local networks but presents security problems when using a remote server.
If you are into file sharing rather than publishing, Dropbox or its new rival SugarSync are more appropriate.

Unable to capture Canon HDV footage with Sony v1u camera

I'm trying to capture hdv footage filmed with a canon video camera with my sony v1u. My sony footage captures as it should, but the canon footage, although playing fine on the sony camera, will not capture to cs4. Any suggestions?

Check all camera settings and make sure they match the original filming mode on the other camera... and veryify your PPro settings match

Hi all,
Please help me out.
I am getting an issue but unable to find out its solution.
I am watching a video on my mobile phone N96 and open the CAM pressing right side button continue, Camera gets opened and i am able to take a snap.
Same functionality i am doing while i am playing a video from my java application. I play a video through my application, while video is running , i open CAM pressing right side button. Camera gets opened. When i click to capture a snap, camera captures a snap but this is not that picture,which was shown by camera while capturing. It captures my video snap which was running on my application.
Please suggest me, is this property of Nokia mobile phone's camera or any defect on that.
Thanks,
Ashutosh

No , I am not using screen captured application.
I am playing a video from my application, when vedio is running, then i open my native camera to capture a snap after pressing right side button.

Unable to capture DV footage from HDV camera

I am trying to capture from a dv tape using the Sony HVR-Z1E, but I keep getting the following message:
Unable to initialize capture device and device control........ This might also happen if you play DV footage in an HDV device.
I have tried changing the settings on the camera but to no avail.

Hi James,
This is a good workaround for curing your camera recognition problem:
First, check that your Easy Setup / Timeline / Camera or Deck Settings are all exactly the same, then making sure your camera or deck is in VTR mode, try to capture again.
Still not working?
Check whether iMovie recognises your camera.
FCP uses a different form of QT than iMovie for capturing, so if the camera works in iMovie (or if it's listed in System Profiler) but not FCP, it obviously means your Mac can see the VTR but FCP can't, so you need to do this QuickTime fix.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852
Follow Apple's instructions carefully and you should have things running in no time - it's quite harmless!
But if the Camera / Deck isn't recognised by iMovie or System Profiler, try resetting the Firewire Bus . . . Turn off the Mac and disconnect the power and all Firewire cables. Leave it for 30 mins then connect back up.
Still not working? Try a different Firewire cable.
Failing all this, try resetting the PMU (Power Management Unit). The method varies from machine to machine, so visit the Apple site and search for it in support.
Don't use iMovie for capturing - it doesn't give you a timecode and that's very important.
Let us know how you get on!
