Can I apply Burn to a composite image but without flattening?

I want to apply Burn to a flattened image, but without flattening. My image consists of several layers, and if I apply Burn to the image layer it doesn't work as well as when applied to the flattened image. But I don't want to flatten the image.
Is it possible?
Background
I have uploaded a test image here. It is a crop from a scanned Kodachrome using a Nikon Coolscan V ED which causes flare whenever highlights abut shadows. I can remove the flare fairly effectively on a flattened image with several Burn passes by using a brush size:75, Range: midtones, Exposure: 20%. But if I try it on the unflattened image layer, the results are not as good.

That image file consists of a single pixel layer, the background. The other four layers are all adjusment layers, three curves and one HSL layer.
No, one cannot apply "burn" to an adjustment layer, only to a bitmap layer, in this case your background.
I cannot imagine what you're trying to describe here. ???
I would do any burning on the background before adding any adjustment layer(s) in the first place, but I repeat that I'm not following you at all now that I saw your file.

How can I delete songs stored in the Cloud but without deleting them from my mac?

How can I delete songs stored in the Cloud but without deleting them from my mac?

You can do it, but you need another library signed in to iTunes match. That second library shouldn't have any local files stored.
Delete the entry from that second library and it will ask you to confirm that you want to remove the file from the cloud. Confirm that you do.
Now, as long as you don't delete the file from your main library it will have an iCloud status of "removed" and won't be in the cloud or try add it again.
However, if you sign out of match on that computer and then sign in again it will then re-add it to the cloud, so this isn't a method to use if you tend to turn match on and off much.
I have had the Beatles Mono albums in my main library, but not in the cloud, for a while now without any problems.

Firefox won't insall into my applications folder. Says can't install because libsmime3.dylib is in use. I am running Mac Os 10.6.7 on a Macbook Pro. I can run firefox okay from the disk image but just won't install into the apps folder.

My system is a Macbook Pro running Mac Os 10.6.7 with a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 duo processor with 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 ram. The upgrade downloads fine, but when I try to drag the firefox image onto my appication folder, I get a dialogue box that says...Cannot install application because "libsmime3.dylib" is in use. I can run Firefox fine from the disk image.

Nope---didn't work. I've owned Macs for about 12 years so although I am brain dead on some things, I do have a working knowledge on most things. I only say that to say this--I did try holding down the mouse and choosing empty trash. It asks if I want to permanently delete what's in there. I say yes--and then I get the same identical message again-----'The operation can't be completed because the item "Firefox 8.0.1.dmg" is in use I can then click stop, or continue.' So apparently that complains the same way it does if I click it up on the menu :)))
As for item owned by---that's not an issue and isn't coming up. User is not a problem either as I am the only user on this system. There is only ONE file in my trash at the moment at that is this dmg file. Nothing Mac. Nothing owned by anyone other than Firefox. The problem seems to be that the dmg file and the original 4.0 FF file are working in tandem with each other--even though I have already drug the new 8.0 globe into the Apps folder and it updated the FF app with the new stuff. If I could force the dmg file to go away, I would do so, but at every turn the system is telling me it can't be done because it seems to think that dmg file is in use---even though everything is shut down and/or ejected. Hey--I'm getting ready to head out and won't be back till evening. I'll check back in this evening. Thank you again for your help.

Can i apply a rating to my images in a slideshow mode?

I would normally work with Rawshooter which had, to me, the great option to run a sideshow of images, all full screen, whilst still being able to apply a rating which allowed me to filter the selection later.
Is there a similar function in Lightroom, if there is I cant seem to find it?
Cheers
Chris

Sure, use the impromptu slide show (the "play" arrow on the tool bar in the Library module) and the numbers.
A handy thing to do is to use loupe mode in Library with caps-lock pressed. Every time you hit a number, it auto-advances to the next image.

How can I apply 'Lens Correction' to 32bit image without reducing to 16bit?

I'm looking for a way to apply 'Lens Correction' to a 32bit image. The image is originally 8bit, but I need to bring it up to 32bit when running the HDR. I only seem to be able to do 'Lens Correction' on 8 or 16bit images however, and the quality of a 32bit HDR wipes the floor with a 16. I'm a bit new to smart filters so hopefully there is something simple and obvious that I'm missing! Any help?

How can I upgrade iPhoto from 8.1.2 but without upgrading OSX from 10.6.8?

I have an iMac ca. 2008 vintage which is currently running OSX 10.6.8. Due to various problems I had to do a restore and everything worked OK afterwards except iPhoto (v. 8.1.2.). When I try to launch it I get the error message "iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem" - Error log below.
As I understand it I cannot reinstall the original version of IPhoto that came ready loaded on the iMac. On the App Store the only version of iPhoto available requires Yosemite and I don't want to upgrade to that.
Any advice?

Not sure why you "understand" that you can not reinstall the original version - you can reinstall from the original source
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer - if it came with CDs and you do not know where they are then contact Apple to see if they can be replaced
or
2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
or
3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first
But the error looks like you may need to reinstall the OS as you are missing sme required system elements

Can I create a User with Root Privileges but without UID Zero?

Dear all,
I'm working on this project and this is the task required: Create a user and let this user perform all that the ROOT user can perform but shouldn't have UID 0. I'm sincerely new to this task but I challenged myself and made so many search on Google and this is what I was able to do.
1. I created a user --- testuser1
2. I created a role --- advrole
3. I added the Solaris predefined profile -- Primary Administrator Profile to the role advrole and added this role to the user testuser1.
4. I logged out from root and login with the newly created user i.e. testuser1.
5. I ran the command id and the user - testuser1 still has its UID defined by me when I was creating the user account (which is good as far as my task is concern).
6. In order to perform ROOT tasks when logged in with testuser1, I use su - advrole.
7. I can now do all that ROOT can do but whenever I run the id command, the advrole shows UID 0 (WHICH IS BAD FOR ME AS PER MY TASK).
My question is, I need to tell the customer that what they actually want isn't feasible in Solaris and the above is closer to what they want but I need to be sure if it's feasible or not before telling my customer?
Can anyone tell me if it's feasible and if so, how can it be done? Or if the way I did it is the only way, kindly let me know as well so that I can get back to them with a valid and concrete explanation.
P. S. The customer requires this because when doing auditing, their auditing software tracks users based on UID so therefore if every user will login and su - root, all will appear as done by the ROOT user because of the UID and a particular will not be held responsible.

If you use auditreduce and praudit, you can get the information you need. It will show, as in my example below, that I logged in via SSH, and then switched to root after logging in. This information can be easily scripted and I do so every day in my daily report so I can see who logged in and who switched to root.
Logging in via ssh:
header,69,2,login - ssh,,MYSYSTEM,2010-06-03 09:15:15.151 -07:00
subject,myusername,myusername,mygroup,myusername,mygroup,11435,512647774,15097 65558 MyIP
return,success,0Then switching to root:
header,94,2,su,,MYSYSTEM,2010-06-03 09:15:21.100 -07:00
subject,myusername,root,mygroup,myusername,mygroup,11448,512647774,15097 65558 MyIP
text,success for user root
return,success,0It also indicates the session ID for the SSH session, so I can monitor when that session ended too.
A different session logging in and out via SSH -
header,69,2,login - ssh,,MYSYSTEM,2010-06-03 09:16:19.380 -07:00
subject,myusername,myusername,mygroup,myusername,mygroup,11451,3474846213,15097 131094 MyIP

Using button to hide an image but to stay on the slide, can do?

Hi,
I want to use a button to hide an image but WITHOUT closing the slide.
I have set it up slide with two images and a button which "hides" one of the images,but the project continues onto the next action.
I have tried No Action but as soon as I click the Hide button, the project continues onto the next slide.
If I wanted to open a url of file I would be given the ability to overide "continue playing project".
Is there anything I am missing to tell the button to not continue with the project but to stay on the
slide I am on.
I have also added a button with "continue" in the hope of holding the slide but no luck.
Thanks in hope!!

Hi there
I have done this using an Advanced action. Basically you do the hide and show using the Advanced Action then reposition the playhead. I put a sample up this morning that would probably illustrate this. You may download it at the link below. It has a link at the end that allows you to download the .CP file so you can pick it apart to see what I did.
The example was simply to illustrate making a button available after a check box was selected. Basically the "check box" is two images. One is hidden and the other shown. Even though it was created for a different purpose, it still holds substantial value for illustrating what you want to do.

Can I burn bigger-than-DVD image onto hard drive and run it off hard drive?

I'm trying to create a DVD Kiosk of sorts. I have a series of instructional videos we have created--I would like it to play a video from the menu randomly if left alone for a period of time, and if someone moves the mouse, they will be given the DVD menu from which they can select one of the videos. This will take a lot of script writing, of course, and I also have more videos than will fit on one DVD.
*What I need to know is: Will Final Cut let me burn a disc image that's bigger than 4.7GB onto my hard drive so that I can just run this directly from a Mac Mini? If not directly possible when saving it, is there a work around?*
Additionally, if anyone has any wisdom or knows of any resources that would assist in writing such a script, that's also welcome.
Thanks for your help.

The short answer is yes. You don't need (or want) a disc image. You want just the folders from the build (AUDIO_TS, VIDEO_TS). You will get warnings but it will do it. You can also set up DVDSP to make a DVD-9 disc so you can get an idea of the project's size as you work and not get the warnings.
Within DVD authoring there is no way to recognize a mouse movement, but you could have an overlay that says GO to Menu on these random playing clips. Now to do this without doubling the assets for the motion clips (one with/one without overlay) you need to right a script that controls when the overlay shows. From menu timeout overlay on. From user action overlay off.
btw its not Final Cut that will make the image but DVD Studio Pro.

How can I create a DVD image that PC users can retrieve and burn...

I need to create a DVD disc image that PC users can retrieve from a private network share and burn to a blank DVD. Once burned, it needs to auto-start at the Menu. The master works fine. Images burned using the Mac Disk Utility work fine. But I have little control over who will download the image or the method by which they will burn it, so I need to provide visitors with guidance. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Thank Jeff for this one.....

I can't apply labels to images in version 2.1.1

Last November 3rd I updated IBooks Author to version 2.1.1 (459). Since that day I can't apply labels to images. I can edit labels for the existing images, but there isn't any label list when I import a new one. If I create a new widget, labels are applied and can be edited.
I've tested this issue with new documents and existing ones with the same result. I also tried to restore a version 2.1 from my previous TimeMachine backups, but no succes.
I've being working well since I installed Maveriks, until this version 2.1.1 update. It is a bug? I've read complains about the same failure in the comments of the App Store from Spain. Can I downgrade iBooks author?
I am finishing a techical book with hundreds of images, so, you know what I am feeling.

Might be a bug - best to contact Apple directly so they can take a look, I think...

Can I apply more than one keyword to images from the Control Bar?

I swear this used to work. I select multiple images in a project. I apply a keyword to the selection by clicking a keyword button on the Control Bar. It gets applied to all the selected images. I click another keyword - it gets applied to only the first selected image.

Michael, thanks for that quick response! Yes, that was it. Of course I don't know why I would have selected that option. It would seem to make sense to put this option in the Preferences instead of Edit - it would make it less easy to change accidentally.

Francis.

Hi iTunes-1,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The error message you posted indicates a possible firmware update is needed for iTunes for Windows to work with your CD drive.
iTunes for Windows: Updating the firmware on your CD or DVD drive - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201852
Having outdated firmware can cause issues using CDs and DVDs with iTunes for Windows. Firmware is a type of software stored in a chip in hardware that can sometimes be updated.Identifying drives and firmware versions
To run CD Diagnostics, follow the steps in this document.
After following the steps to run CD Diagnostics linked above, look at section three to find out more about your optical drive(s).
Here is an example of what section three might look like:
In this example there are two drives. Drive E is a Samsung DVD-ROM drive with a model designation of SD-616 that has firmware version F000. Drive F is an NEC drive with a model designation of NR-7900A that has firmware version 1.08.Updating the firmware
If the optical drive you are using came with your computer, check with the support site for your computer for a firmware update. Typically you will need to go to the support website for the computer maker and click on a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your computer model designation and operating system version to see what updates are available. Then look through the available updates for a firmware update for your optical drive. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of your computer.
If the optical drive you are using came as a separate part (was not included with a computer), check the support site for the drive maker for a firmware update. Sometimes the manufacturer is not clear in the CD Diagnostics results. In that case, you may just have to search the Internet for the drive model designation. You can usually find out who made the drive by looking through the results of such a search. Once you have identified who made your drive, go to the support website for that company. Look for a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your optical drive model designation. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of the optical drive.Verifying that the firmware was updated
Run CD Diagnostics again.
Examine the CD Diagnostics results. The firmware version for the drive should be the new version.

Also, you mentioned that you have been successful burning a CD with the Windows OS. Make sure that you have closed all software programs that can access the CD burner so that there isn't a conflict for the drive. Sometimes chaning the burn speed from "maximum" to 8x can also help in this situation.
I hope this information helps ...

Can you apply a parallax effect to a video?

I can see those options for images, but I think those options are grayed out when I try to apply it to a video.
Any suggestions?

Hi Erik
You can use any composition and insert video, then apply scroll to that container.

Multi-camera IMAQdx systems: shortcuts for stitched composite image

Imagine a system using for example multiple GigE cameras through the IMAQdx interface where we wish to form a composite stitched image from the multiple camera views. The stitching principle is naive, straigthforward concatenation, one next to another.
The problem is that where it is trivial to build such a composite image, it's difficult to do it very efficiently. The image sizes are large, tens of megapixels, so every copy matters. Alternative hardware configurations would open up a lot of options but say we're stuck using GigE cameras and (atleast initially) the IMAQdx interface. What tricks, or even hacks, can you guys imagine facing this challenge?
I've seen some talk about the IMAQdx grab buffers and it appears to me that one cannot manually assign those buffers or access them directly. The absolute optimal scenario would of course be to hack your way around to stream the image data directly next to each other in the memory, sort of as shown below in scenario1.png:
The above, however, doesn't seem to be too easily achieved. Second scenario then would be to acquire into individual buffers and perform one copy into the composite image. See illustration below:
Interfaces usually allow this with relative ease. I haven't tested it yet but based on the documentation using ring buffer acquisition and "IMAQdx Extract Image.vi" this should be possible. Can anyone confirm this? The copying could be performed by external code as well. The last scenario, without ring buffer, using "IMAQdx Get Image2.vi" might look like this:
The second copy is a waste so this scenario should be out of the question.
I hope this made some sense. What do you wizards say about it?
Solved!

Hi,
Sorry, the contraints are not really well documented as they are dependent on platform, camera type, camera capabilities, and how the driver handles things. All of these are subject to change and so we decided instead to try to make the errors be very self-descriptive to explain how to fix any requirements.
You are correct that these fundamentally come down to making sure that the image buffer specified is able to be directly transferred to by the driver. The largest requirement is that the image data type is the same and doesn't need any decoding/conversion step. The other requirements are more flexible and change depending on many factors:
- No borders, since this adds a discontinuity between each line. This error doesn't apply to GigE Vision (since the CPU moves the data into the buffer) or to USB3 Vision cameras that have a special "LinePitch" feature that can allow them to pad the image lines. The USB drivers of more modern OSes (like Win8+) have more advanced DMA capabilities so it is possible/likely that this also can be ignored in the future.
- Line width must be a multiple of 64-bytes (the native image line alignment on Windows) - same as border
So, if you end up using GigE Vision cameras, this should just work. If you want to use USB3 Vision you have a few more contraints to work with.
