Can anyne suggest a book on digital imaging for computer newbie?

Hi,
i have a friend who's a great amateur photographer - he know's his digital cameras / what makes a good shot etc.
He's just bought a new Macbook pro to take his digital photography a step further, he's joined a photography club, and everyone around him is talking about photoshop.
At the photography club he was asked to prepare an image for projection - 72dpi 720x1024...
I thought i could explain, and go on to subjects like printing etc. I found it very hard.
There's loads of stuff on the web, but this is a computer newbie, as i say. So it would be great if there was a handy book out there that could help out.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance,
nw9

At the photography club he was asked to prepare an image for projection - 72dpi 720x1024...
If the image is for projection then the only specification he has to worry about is the dimension of the image, 1024 x 720. He just needs to crop/resize the image in Photoshop to 1024 x 720 pixels and save a copy. DPI does not come into play until you print an image. See The Myth of DPI .
I believe MacWorld offered several books on digital photography. You might search their site for them.

How can I make a book/podcast listening playlist for a blind person?

How can I make a book/podcast listening playlist for a blind person? How can lots of content be loaded, so that no navigation is required, for hundreds of hours of enjoyment?
I wanted to create a single playlist with hundreds of hours of books and podcasts for my grandmother who is blind. Then I planned to use something like the app CarTunes which basically makes the touch screen simply a gigantic pause/play button for an already created playlist. This is perfect for a blind person. The problem: Apple no longer allows you to have a playlist with Audible Books and Podcasts. I have tried; but the podcasts and books are stripped from the playlist. It seems like all podcast and book players require navigation. (How aggravating!?)
Any help in creating hundreds of hours long spoken (selected between books and podcasts) audio content playlist for a blind person would be much appreciated!!!!

Well, good news and bad news. I found out how to tell iTunes that all my music videos are, in fact, actual "music videos" and categorize them as such. In the "Get Info" screen for a track, there is a dropdown selector where you can pick the "meta" type, such as "Music Video", "Home Video", "Movie", "TV Show", etc. This allows iTunes and iOS to think they are all music videos and play them in the same list.
Unfortunately, this is not compatable with my third party device, which is now refusing to play my music videos in a playlist and will only play them one at a time (in a single-track infinite loop no less). Very frustrating!

How can we suggest a new DBA OCE certification for very large databases?

How can we suggest a new DBA OCE certification for very large databases?
What web site, or what phone number can we call to suggest creating a VLDB OCE certification.
The largest databases that I have ever worked with barely over 1 Trillion Bytes.
Some people told me that the results of being a DBA totally change when you have a VERY LARGE DATABASE.
I could guess that maybe some of the following topics of how to configure might be on it,
* Partitioning
* parallel
* bigger block size - DSS vs OLTP
* etc
Where could I send in a recommendation?
Thanks Roger

How can we change the color of the image for product display for different

Hi All,
How can we change the color of the image for product display for different colors, to be displayed on site.
jeff

Hi priya,
The requirement that you have stated is not a standard feature in ISA CRM. In order to do the same, you will need to modify the standard ISA code in Java. A common path for the solution would be as follows:
1. Colours
    a. Maintain a text type for Color under the object - PCAT_ITM in Customizing.
    b. Modify the standard search of ISA to search within your new text type as well. (In standard it only searches in Description.
   c. Maintain all shirts colour data in the new type created in step a.
   d. Your requirement will be done!
2. Price
a. Use list prices for your shop and assign the appropriate condition type, acces in your catalog.
b. Modify the standard search of ISA to search on the list prices as well.
c. This too will be done!
3. Accessories - This is very tricky, and will require some exploration. However, here's my opinion,
a. Search for the standard function module, which will return the accessories when provided the product as an input.
b. Modify this function module according to your requirement and ensure that it can be accessed remotely.
c. Modify the JSP as in steps 1b and 2b above to call this new remote-enabled function module.
d. Now you're done!!
The ISA modification part is not so simple, you need a really good guy like "Sateesh Chandra" who'll be able to handle your requirements. This is all I could manage, hope it is some help to you!
Thanks & Regards,
Nelson.

Can't transfer e-book from Digital Editions to Nook

Downloaded Digital Editions. Downloaded the book. Authorized both my computer and my Nook. Connected the Nook. Opened the Digital Editions. See the book. See the Nook. Book won't go on Nook.
This feels like Dr. Suess except it's way more depressing.

I am having a related problem. My laptop with 100 purchsed ebooks on it died. I bought a new laptop, copied all my files from backups, downloaded Adobe Digital which would NOT recognize my email/password and therefor will not open the library.
The most important part of the library is professional texts that I need access to.
Although this must be a daily occurrence Adobe have not been able to help (shall I say.. "yet"). I tried to redownload the books from the purchase site but they also will not open.. and with all the hassle I have now exceeded download limits.
This seems the most simple of problems but I have been two weeks without the documents.
The terms of use from the download site required me to use Adobe, they charged full price for the ebooks and the books are now not usable.

Old adobe ID needed to authorise this computer so I can read all my books I have paid for

I need to recover my old adobe id in order to authorise this computer so I can open the books I have paid for. When I installed sony reader to this (my new) computer it wouldn't allow me to open any books I have paid for. Sony says this is to do with my adobe id so I tried a few weeks ago to sign in using my adobe id (1st time in 3 years). Now I couldn't remember my username but it said it was probably my email address but then it told me you didn't recognise my email address. I have not changed my email address in the past 6 years at all but I could have entered it as [email protected] or co.uk or I could have put in googlemail instead of gmail. I always enter it as [email protected] now. I signed up again but that doesn't help me with my books I have bought so I need you to help me find my old adobe id.
Thanks

Do you have your old computer still. If so, go to digital editions on it, and in the Library view do menu/Library/Authroize Computer.
That will tell you the email it was registered with.
There is a long-winded way (below) to find the internal AdobeID a book belongs to,
I don't know if having got that internal ID whether Adobe service are able to tell you what the external ID (email) assocated with the internal ID is.
I have made this comment before but nobody has responded whether it helped or not .....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OK. To find the internal AdobeID.
open a sample DRM .epub file as a .zip file.
With some zip programs, you can just open the .epub as an archive (ev, with 7zip),
with others you will have to rename the .epub file to a .zip file first, then open it.
find the file 'rights.xml' within the zip. Probably 'META-INF\rights.xml'
open the rights.xml file
inside you will find a section '<user>' that looks something like
<user>urn:uuid:ff2ddc22-eca0-46c6-a84d-xxxxxxxxxxxx</user>
That string is the internal version for your AdobeID.
That stays fixed for the AdobeID, even if you change the associated email (or password),
that internal ID is what is really associated with the book.
(n.b. there is no point in trying to change the urn to a current one you might find and recreating the .epub file; the DRM is cleverer than that).
You can now contact Adobe at Adobe Live Chat: http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html
It may be that if you can give them that internal ID they will be able to get you access to your account again.
If they say they can't, it might be worth trying two or three times at intervals;
it seems from what others have said that some of the representatives are very clued up, but others are not.
(I've never used the Live Chat).
If you do go through all that, let us know how you got on.

Can someone suggest an affordable external hard drive for use with FCPX and video editing on my Macbook Pro Retina

I have a Macbook Pro Retina from 2012 and I only got the 250GB hard drive. I'm getting ready to purchase a Panosonic HC-X920 to use with Final Cut Pro X already installed on my laptop. Since I know the file sizes are going to be so big, can anyone suggest an affordable external drive fast enough to keep up with editing the video? I'm not a pro and use it for family and personal projects.
I prefer some thunderbolt options since I haven't had a chance to use the inputs since I got my macbook pro. I just don't know what is necessarily too little or too big and too cheap and too expensive for my needs. Thank you.

OWC is a Mac specialist and a very trustworthy vendor. I have dealt with them and their technical stall on many occasions. Hence you may look at what they offer and be assured that they will stand behind what they sell:

I suspect that for your needs, a 1 TB drive is going to be the minimum.
Ciao.

How can I import address book from thunderbird on another computer

I just purchased a new laptop and have dowloaded Thunderbird for my e-mail as that was what I was using on desktop. I have 2 e-mail accounts, my personal e-mail addresses came thru with no difficulty however my other account the contacts in address book didn't come thru. So question is how can I get address book imported for this account too. My desktop is Windows XP and my laptop is Windows 8
thanks for any help

The neat thing to do would be to copy the profile from the XP machine to the W8 machine. This would have transferred your messages, your account settings and your Address Book and much else.
Given that you have set up Thunderbird and have started using it, copying over the profile may not now be terribly attractive for you.
So, instead, you can export and import your Address Books.
On the XP computer, open the Address Book, select an address book (e.g. Personal Address Book), select '''Tools|Export''', select the name and location of a file to contain the exported data, choose LDIF and then Save. Repeat for each required address book. Give your LDIF files simple but meaningful names, such as PAB.ldif and CA.ldif. Don't use, for instance, ''Personal Address Book.ldif'', as this will create a second address book with the same name as one of the defaults and you won't be able to easily tell which is which.
Put the exported LDIF files where the W8 computer can see them, e.g. a USB memory stick.
On the W8 machine, open the address book, Tools|Import and select an exported LDIF file. It will import and create a new address book; you'll probably want to move the Contact data back to the usual address book. You can select all (ctrl+a) then drag-and-drop the imported Contacts to the preferred address book. Repeat for each LDIF file.
Having said that, I don't understand what you mean by "my personal e-mail addresses came thru with no difficulty however my other account the contacts in address book didn't come thru"; unless you have moved the profile folder over, I don't understand why ''any'' contacts should have transferred.
If you have in fact moved the profile folder, then I'm puzzled as to why the transfer of address books has been incomplete. However the export and import route should be able to reclaim the missing address book(s).

How can i put my book, made with ibooksauthor for mac, on my iPad for free?

I made a book with ibooksauthor for mac, the new app from apple to make your own ibook. But how can i get that book on my iPad, without any account you have to pay for (in the video you find on apple.com, they say it's possible)... and I want it just for my own, just on my own ipad, that's all
sorry for my bad english
sportie96
thx for your help!!!

In IBooks Author choose Share:Export... iBook. Drag the YourBook.ibooks file onto iTunes, maybe directly into the Books panel. Sync your iPad with the Mac, selecting YourBook in iTunes.

Can't open borrowed books in Digital Editions

Summary: I tried to download several borrowed ebooks from the overdrive library. And I got an error message. The error message was the same for each ebook I tried.
Steps to reproduce:
1. I click download.
2. Digital editions says its verifying the author, and nothing happens
The Error message was:
Adobe DRM Error
System: 5
State: 4
Class: 400
Code: 19
Message: Error on response from server.
Scroll below or view error.log for more details.
Adobe DRM client Error: 419
The voucher for this document has already been fulfilled or the ETD file is no longer valid.
Server Code: 410
410 Gone
(18) The requested eBook has already been downloaded. An Adobe eBook can only be downloaded one time unless the download link is reactivated. (OrderID=851614160483857).

Well the error is pretty self explanatory. The system believes that you have already downloaded the book, and won't let you do it again. If this is in error I suggest that you talk to the library that you got the book from to see if they (or more likely their source), can reissue the download link.

Size of digital images for reproduction in iPhoto Books

I have been reading comments in this forum and have become confused reading about image size in iphoto books. I have some very old scanned photos saved in tiff format files on an external hard-drive and want to make a book using them. I don't want to compromise the altered quality of these old photos since so many are over 100 years old and were in poor condition when scanned. I corrected them as best I could using Photoshop and saved them them in tiff form in storage. Can I leave them as a tiff (cropped to 4:3ratio) when I import them to iPhoto or do I have to convert them to j-pegs BEFORE importing? I realize that these files are larger than a j-peg of the same photo so the entire 100 page book is quite large. If so will j-peg format make these look worse in the printing? iphoto's instructions skip over this detail. Could some please help me with an answer to this?

Dognut:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can use the tiffs. There won't be a problem. The only restriction is Apple can't use CMYK color. I've always used jpgs without a problem. As long as the number of pixels are high you should get good results. The downside to using tiffs is that iPhoto will copy them into the library and will take up a lot of disk space. But you can always delete them from iPhoto when you've ordered and received your book to free up disk space.
