Can Lightroom sharpening have a visible impact on photos displayed at 800x530?

Sorry for the mundane nature of this question - but I don't quite get this from what I've read on previous posts and I'm not too technically smart with this stuff.
From what I understand reading through tutorials for capture sharpening in Lightroom, you need to have your photo at 1:1 magnification to see the effects of sharpening, which I do in fact see. However, you're never going to post any of your photographs at 1:1 magnification, so unless you're going to print the photo, what is the practical reason for bothering? The way I understand it, it is unlikely that you will see any impact of sharpening on the image at smaller sizes which you would post - so does that mean that it is not possible to improve the perceived sharpness of the images you display on the web? I guess I have the same question for noise reduction.
Thanks for your help on this. I've been confused by this from the beginning, and just figured I'd eventually figure it out - which I haven't.

>I guess I have the same question for noise reduction.
You will not see much camera-generated noise at less than 1:1 magnification. Test it and look at a long exposure photo or the dark areas of any picture. You will certainly see an improvement if you move the Luminance or Color Sliders on photos that are noisy in those dark areas.
And the same is true for colour fringing, such as the edge of a building against a bright sky. Some lenses do not deal with that very well and you can get a colour fringe at those edges.
Lightroom does deal with both of these, although I haven't yet had to correct "Chromatic Abberation", maybe my Nikon Lenses are too good!!
But for ordinary viewing, and photos posted to web, there is no need to bother with noise reduction, lens correction etc.

Imported thousands of photos without "copying" them to Library. Can I now have iPhoto automatically "copy" those photos?

I have thousands of pictures in my iPhoto library. Many of them were not "copied" into iPhoto when imported. I had my preferences set that way to save space on my system's hard drive. I just kept those pictures on a separate hard drive in my Mac Pro. Now I would like iPhoto to automatically "copy" those into it's library while maintaining their locations in Albums and Events. (I realize this will add many GB to the size of my Library).
Is there a way to do this?

No - what version of iPhoto are you running? Prior to iPhoto '11 Alias herder could be used to do this - http://www.rorohiko.com/wordpress/downloads/aliasherder/

Can Lightroom render 1:1 Previews when importing my Photos?

Q: Can Lightroom render 1:1 Previews when importing my Photos?
FAQ revised 25 April 2009
Ans: Prior to version 1.3 Lightroom did not support 1:1 preview rendering during import, the actual options for Initial Previews being: Embedded or Standard. However, more recent versions allow four types of previews to be rendered during import (i.e. Minimal, Embedded & Sidecar, Standard,and 1:1). It's also worth noting the following on Lightroom import behaviour:
1. Minimal (Lightroom default) or Embedded & Sidecar is by far the quickest method for getting your photos into the Lightroom catalog. However, the lack of Standard, which is the minimum that Lightroom can actually work with, means that the application will render standard-sized on demand (i.e. as thumbs/photos become visible within the photo Content area). Asking Lightroom to undertake this task at the same time as you're trying to use the application will result in sub optimal performance.
2. Importing your photos with the Standard preview selected within the Import dialog will take longer than 1 above, but on completion Lightroom will already have previews that match the minimum requirement for working in the Library. Assuming that you won't be looking at every image at 100% (i.e 1:1) then this preview size will allow you to quickly review, rate, label, even make quick colour/tone adjustments, etc the photos within the Library module. If you need to see a photo at 100% then Lightroom will render that preview on demand (while it's being rendered you'll see the "Rendering Preview" overlay appear at bottom of preview). Note that when using a 23" or larger monitor it to is best to set the Standard sized previews so that they are rendered at 2048 pixels
3. Importing your photos with the 1:1 preview size selected will result in Lightroom taking even longer to complete the import process than would have been the case if standard-sized had been chosen. 1:1 previews also take up significantly more disk space than standard-sized.
If you're not going to be working on the photos immediately after import but do need to get them into Lightroom as quickly as possible, then the best option would be to choose import option 1. Once the photos have been imported choose either Render Standard-sized Previews or Render 1:1 previews from Library module Library>Previews menu.

When I search these forums for "CFCopyFormattingDescription", I find a bunch of crash reports posted that look almost exactly the same as mine. It appears there's a bug in iPhoto, perhaps when reading metadata from the JPG file (readRawTiffPropsFromPath).
Interestingly, the Preview app can open and display the file just fine. I even opened the inspector and it showed all of the TIFF and exif metadata just fine, no crash. The file also opens just fine on Windows.
Now how do we get the attention of the iPhoto development team so I can send them the photos, have them reproduce the crash, and fix it?

Can Lightroom work with Muse as far as image organization?

Can Lightroom work with Muse as far as image organization then uploading? I have hundreds of images I need to organize then integrate into my Muse website.

I'm not familiar with Muse, but I use Lightroom and Dreamweaver for similar work. LR doesn't directly work "with" DW, but I export from LR to folders in my DW site, and then upload the images with DW.
Using LR for this saves a lot of time, if you use Export presets. Say you have 50 images that you want to be 900px on the long side, 60 quality, standard sharpening for screen. Create a preset with those settings, select a folder to export to, select the images in LR, and click Export. Make sure to choose sRGB as color space for web images.
If you're not pleased with the result, or want to change something, export the images you want to change with new settings, and overwrite the first export.

Is there a phone number to call Adobe. I go around an endless loop pressing their contact info tabs? Maybe someone at this sight can help. I am new to digital photo - I have been a B&W film photographer for many years. I have a problem with a Macbook Air. It was working fine - I was using LR and a message came on the screen that said something like the memory was dangerously low. I stopped and tried to delete LR files. I couldn't do it. I closed the program and tried reopening and got the message that there is not enough memory available to open LR. I contacted Apple. They spent a half hour on the phone with me and eventually told me they didn't know how to help. The tech said that LR had gobbled up all the memory and said I should contact Adobe and ask where and how my photo files are stored and to delete them. I have several back-ups. Thanks - Arthur

This sort of error message only comes up for Lightroom when your hard disk is full. Indeed this has nothing to do with internal memory as that will be intelligently be dealt with. If you have a mac Book Air that is not so surprising as the cheapest versions come with very small hard disks and if you shoot raw with any recent camera, you'll fill up your hard disk very quickly and you can probably only store a few months of pictures if you are a typical photographer. So the bottom line is that you need to create some room on your hard disk. You should move some of your originals to an external hard disk. You can also delete some of your backup copies of your catalog file that Lightroom automatically generates every few days and that quickly gobble up hard disk space. So first figure out how full your hard disk is. To see that, go to the apple menu, hit -> About this Mac -> More info->Storage. You should see your internal hard disk on top and you'll find that it is almost entirely full with photos. Now find your Lightroom catalog file using Finder. It is usually in a folder in the Pictures folder in your home directory. You should see a Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file, a previews file and a folder called backups. Inside the backups folder, you'll find a lot of subfolders. They have names that show the dates the backups were created. If you have backups of your entire hard disk, you can delete these backups when they are older than a few months. I usually only keep the last 4 around. Just drag the folders into the trash can on the dock on the bottom of your screen and empty the trash. This will probably free up enough space that Lightroom will already run again. Now start thinking about where you will want to store older images. If you have a good USB3 or Thunderbolt hard disk that is probably the best option. There is a video here by Adobe that has some instructions on how to do this: Is Your Hard Drive Full? Here’s How to Move Images to Another Drive in Lightroom. « Julieanne Kost's Blog If that doesn't work because you don't have enough hard drive space to run Lightroom yet, here is another set of instructions to move your files using the finder to the other hard disk: How do I move only my photos to another hard drive, leaving the catalog where it is? - The Lightroom Queen. If you follow that, as soon as you confirm all your images are on the new hard disk, you can delete them from your internal one. She is not so clear about that part but if you don't delete the originals that you moved off you don't free up space. You should move the folder structure over to the new hard disk and then reconnect the folders in Lightroom. That should make it refind all your images.
That said, if you are uncomfortable with the computer in itself, your best bet is to find a local photography club. There is invariably a Lightroom savvy person in there that could help you move your files. That might be your best bet if you are uncomfortable moving these yourself. A general mac savvy person like you would find at an Apple store or so generally will not be able to help you with this except when they are photographers themselves and know Lightroom. You might get lucky with that.

When I have finished working on an image in Photoshop and I hit the save button it goes instead to the "save as" screen. This never happened in previous Photoshop versions. When I get to Lightroom, I have a grey screen the says "File could not be found."

When I select the correct image, I get a message that it is not the same file name but I am eventually able to access the image. Needless to say this is having a negative impact on workflow!

The problem with write permissions for the OneDrive folder only shows up in Lightroom 6's export dialogue, that's why it's to irritating. Lightroom 5.7.1 is not having that problem nor does the file explorer. The problem also exists on both of my machines.

RegionRenderer encodeAll The region component with id: pt1:r1 has detected a page fragment with multiple root components. Fragments with more than one root component may not display correctly in a region and may have a negative impact on performance.

Hi,
I am using JDEV 11.1.2.1.0
I am getting the following error :-
<RegionRenderer> <encodeAll> The region component with id: pt1:r1 has detected a page fragment with multiple root components. Fragments with more than one root component may not display correctly in a region and may have a negative impact on performance. It is recommended that you restructure the page fragment to have a single root component.
Piece of code is for region is:-
   <f:facet name="second">
                                            <af:panelStretchLayout id="pa1"
                                                                   binding="#{backingBeanScope.Assign.pa1}">
                                                <f:facet name="center">
                                                    <af:region value="#{bindings.tfdAssignGraph1.regionModel}" id="r1"
                                                               binding="#{backingBeanScope.Assign.r1}"/>
                                                </f:facet>
                                            </af:panelStretchLayout>
                                        </f:facet>
How do I resolve it ?
Thanks,

Hi,
I see at least 3 errors
1. <RegionRenderer> <encodeAll> The region component with id: pt1:r1 has detected a page fragment with multiple root components.
the page fragment should only have a single component under the jsp:root tag. If you see more than one, wrap them in e.g. an af:panelGroupLayout or af:group component
2. SAPFunction.jspx/.xml" has an invalid character ".".
check the document (you can open it in JDeveloper if the customization was a seeded one. Seems that editing this file smething has gone bad
3. The expression "#{bindings..regionModel}" (that was specified for the RegionModel "value" attribute of the region component with id "pePanel") evaluated to null.
"pageeditorpanel" does seem to be missing in the PageDef file of the page holding the region

Lightroom Sharpening

Hi,
It is advised that some sharpening is required when sending images to press. I have been using Photoshop High Pass sharpening with Edge Mask mostly. Recently I have noticed that there is a sharpening option when exporting images from PS Lightroom. I wonder if there is any advantage in Lightroom sharpening compared to Photoshop Layer Blending Sharpening. I am asking this question from those who are experienced in offset printing.

Yes this is a very good article and has been out since the issue of version 1.1 which had quite a few improvements/changes from version 1.0, while 1.2/3/3.1 were mainly bug fixes.
I hope there will be a v 1.3.2 bug fix which clears up the printing problems for Leopard and Vista, and download issues direct from cameras before a paid update.

Basic: Does or can Lightroom replace Bridge

I have been using Lightroom and am switching from Elements 5 to CS2. Can Lightroom replace Bridge?
Thanks in advance

if you're a photographer, LR basically is the new Bridge. Bridge and the associated work flow sucked, so they gave us a new application that just cuts out one of the steps. That's about it...

I want to upgrade from Photoshop Elements 5 to Lightroom 5. Can Lightroom 5 read/convert a Photoshop Elements 5 catalog, or is Elements 5 too old to read?

I want to upgrade from Photoshop Elements 5 to Lightroom 5. Can Lightroom 5 read/convert a Photoshop Elements 5 catalog including all of the tags, captions, etc, or is Elements 5 too old for Lightroom 5 to read/convert? What's the best way to migrate? (My catalog has over 100k images in it.)

Adobe changed the catalog software from PSE6 onwards to the SQLite database – as used in Lightroom.
Earlier versions of PSE including PSE5 used a Microsoft Access database, stored in a file called [Catalog Name].psa.
If you have already embedded keywords and captions by writing file info into the images they should be readable even if catalog conversion fails. Lightroom does have the ability to import a PSE catalog but in view of the age of PSE5 I would recommend downloading the 30 day free trial of LR5.6 and then you can judge the level of success of catalog conversion.

Does mapping to JNDI for ejb-refs have a performance impact?

Does mapping to JNDI names for ejb-refs have a performance impact for
WLS6.1?
In the ejb-jar.xml deployment descriptor, you can define an ejb reference as
follows:
<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/AccountHomeRemote</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Entity</ejb-ref-type>
<home>com.package structure.AccountHomeRemote</home>
<remote>com.package structure.AccountRemote</remote>

</ejb-ref>
Now, optionally, you can use the ejb-link element - or - you can, in the
weblogic DD, specify a JNDI name that the ejb-ref maps to.
Using a JNDI name buys you some flexibility. If, for some reason, the jar is
divided, you dont have to convert ejb-link's to JNDI names. The question is:
Is there a performance cost in doing this?
Cheers

Hi Aashish,
Thanks for your quick reply. it was helpful, but i am not using RFC's. Correct me if i am wrong, but i have explained the scenarios in detail below.
Scenario 1. Synchronous
1) PI Picks file from a common folder.
2) PI does a data mapping and sends the data to ECC.
3) ECC contains an inbound interface which receives the data and in which abap proxy code is written.
4) The abap proxy code executes a function module and sends the response as an internal table back to PI.
5) PI receives the response and places it in a text/csv file and places it back to another folder.
I assume that the above would be possible only using BPM. What i understand is that in order for an interface to receive and send data, abstract mappings are to be used, and for this BPM is required. We do not have any conversions etc. its just a simple matter of receiving an internal table from ECC and creating a file to place in the folder.
I also understand that BPM could have bottlenecks due to queue and cache issues, messages might be pending, or lost etc.
Scenario 2. Asynchronous
1) PI Picks file from a common folder.
2) PI does a data mapping and sends the data to ECC.
3) ECC contains an inbound interface which receives the data and in which abap proxy code is written.
4) ABAP Proxy code executes the same function module and calls a seperate outbound interface and passes the values to it. This would be used in sending the response back.
5) PI receives the response from the second interface and places it in a text/csv file and places it back to another folder.
I would like to know which would be the better approach. Documentation/references to support your claims would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Mz

Can Virtual Machin system make negative impact to the database performance?

Can Virtual Machin system make negative impact to the database performance?
I want to make a virtual machine system in my server and then install Oracle 10g database on the virtual machine system. But I am not sure if Virtual Machin system can make any negative impact to the database performance.
Thank you

The virtual machine software vendor must have certified and provided some performance figures like running Oracle on our VM would have a performance hit of n%. VMWare has such a figure published (8% if I recall correctly).
Besides, the load on physical server, apart from the virtual machine running, would also have the impact on performance.
Other factors would be
1. how quickly the host OS can cater to the guest OS with the RAM requirements (it would be good if you could pre-allocate RAM to VM)
2. with the assumption that you will be running an OS within OS, files on host OS forming the VM, should be pre-allocated in terms of space, avoiding runtime extentions.

Can Lightroom invoke the same Photoshop functions as Bridge can?

Bridge has a tools menu with a Photoshop item sub-menu. It can invoke a number of Photoshop functions such as "Image Processor" and Auto "batch" functions on a selection of images from within Bridge. Does Lightroom also have this capability?

Lightroom replaces the functions of many Photoshop batch capabilities, with its own Export and Publish and Print to JPG features. The usual expectation for a LR user, would be, that Lightroom carries out the creation of different sized JPG versions etc. It is in some ways more efficient and economical at this than Photioshop is.
The specific batch tools you mention, are in effect scripted extensions of PS which I don't believe LR can access. In any case, the images that LR itself manipulates may include entities that Photoshop tools could never access, for example Virtual Copies.
That said, it is possible to reference a Photoshop Action in a "droplet" file, add this droplet to a list where Lightroom can see it, and then invoke this as a postprocessing step as part of a batch Export initiated by Lightroom. So, if you are creating a set of JPG (TIFF, whatever) images which need standard treatment as far as resizing, colourspace etc but also that need some kind of a standardised Photoshop operation to happen, this is a way to do it.
The PS postprocessing in this scheme, happens only to a brand-new, separate, exported file. If you want PS to modify the master image as viewed in LR, then you are getting more into LR's standard external editing function instead - which is done image by image (and which similarly spins off a new image version and new file saved on disk). Any file-changing editing of the type that Photoshop does, it completely at odds with the nondestructive approach of Lightroom - like chalk and cheese, and this is reflected in the quite compartmented workflow under which these happen.
