Cannot get HDR to work with files from Canon 40D
Hello,
I have read various tutorials and the forum and there seem to be a number of things that have to be just right to get the Automate Merge to HDR Pro to work.
I obtain the images on a tripod using a timer and auto expose a stop bracket. I understand white balance setting may be a problem...
But no matter what I do I get a merged file with very bight colors essentially all over.
I have trief JPEG and TIFF conversions from RAW.
Any ideas/checklist? THis is CS5, completely updated.
Thanks
It sounds like BT's hardware may have a firewall that's blocking more than it should.

Use this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1398 to get the latest Epson drivers if your printer/scanner is compatible.
If it isn't, here are some alternatives from my macmaps page:

The airplay on my i pad works with music and pictures but I cannot get it to work with safari and mirroring. Can someone help me to get things working? Thanks!
As an IT person, I can put my hands up to the same difficulty. Then on double clicking on Home button, find AirTV symbol amongst Music control
Solved my problem having spent hours looking for a complicated answer. Well done Apple for hiding it so well.

Will the current plugins for Sigma DP1/2 RAW files work with files from the DP1/2 Merrill cameras? A
Will the current plugins for Sigma DP1/2 RAW files work with files from the DP1/2 Merrill cameras? And if not, is Adobe developing plugins for these cameras?
Not sure what plugins you mean, Hornet - Lr doesn't rely on plugins to read new cameras.
If you mean the Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) plugin - that's for Photoshop, not Lightroom. Lr has the same functionality as ACR, but it's hard-coded into the program, so if you're looking for support for a new camera, you need to wait for a new version of Lr.
And nobody here can say when Lr support for a given camera will happen.
Hopefully someone with a Merrill will be able to chime in about whether its files work with the current Lr. -
Cannot get Mail to work with BT
I have suddenly encountered a problem with Mail. I cannot now get it to work with my BT account.
When I Get Mail the progress bar shows from 7 to 15 items for download. The download speed decays to zero the progress bar stalls and nothing arrives.
My .Mac mail is fine though. So I have attempted to get BT to forward my mail to .Mac having deleted the BT account in Mail, but as yet no sign of that work-around helping either.
Is there a bug somewhere? Have had no problem with Mail for years and years.
17 inch iMac and fully up to date.It may be frustrating, but there's a reason it's doing that; we just need to figure out why. So, what kind of email account do you have, and how long have you had it? When did this problem start, and what did you install just prior to this happening, if anything?

Disappearing hard drive and sudden inability to work with files from my camera.
I was installing the photoshelter plugin and noticed my external hard drive was not displayed. I had to import the whole drive again. Now when I try to import from my cards I get the error that this version of LR cannot work with my camera files. It has been working with them for years so what's up?
It's a long shot, but if nothing more concrete is posted, as you had just installed Photoshelter, have you tried uninstalling it and seeing whether this makes a difference.

Cannot get printer to work with iMac
I cannot get my Epson printer to work with my iMac , It just keeps saying it cannot find printer.
All the other settings are correct , its just the server that fails. I have downloaded printer files ,
sometimes it does recongise it and works, then it stops, I have tried downloading the program again but it makes no difference.
Need to use printer and scanner for my job, and this is driving me mad!!It sounds like BT's hardware may have a firewall that's blocking more than it should.

Cannot get ODBC to work with Instant Client
Hi,
I am having problems getting ODBC working with instant client. This is what I have done so far:
1. I installed Instant Client from this page: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/winsoft-085727.html
The file I downloaded was: instantclient-basic-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip
2. Next, I installed SQL*Plus with this file: instantclient-sqlplus-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip
Now I have SQL*Plus working with instant client.
3. After that I downloaded instantclient-odbc-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip for ODBC.
4. I unzipped the odbc zip file into the Instant Client folder and ran odbc_install.exe. Now I have 'Oracle in instantclient 10_2' showing up in the drivers tab of ODBC Data Source Administrator.
5. Now, if I try to add add a DSN and choose 'Oracle in instantclient 10_2' as the data source, I get an error "ODBC Administrator has stopped working" (http://i50.tinypic.com/jifl2g.png)
I can add DSNs using any other data source without problems. The aforementioned error comes up only when I use 'Oracle in instantclient 10_2' as the data source.
Can someone please let me know how to resolve this?
I am running Windows Vista Business edition 32-bit.
Thanks & Regards,
Ubaidullah Nubar.
Edited by: unubar on Dec 17, 2012 9:42 PMTwo dimensions of compatibility/requirements:
Vertically - This is your application, APIs, .Net, operating system etc. that may define requirements on Oracle Client version, and vice versa.
Horisontally - "on the wire" or connectivity wise - Oracle certifies client - server interoperability at least two releases or major versions back/apart, so yes, 10.2 is/was* supported. See MOS interoperability matrix for your specific case.
(*was since 10.2 Database is out of support or even Extended support by now. Perhaps it is time to upgrade the server side also ;-)) -
Do I need to buy 2 different Microsoft Office products if I want to be able to use my new Mac with Microsoft Office for Mac and also use files saved on my work computer which uses Microsoft Window 2007?

Sorry, but your likely going to have to use Windows 7 and Office on your Mac at work using Bootcamp.
Although you can share files OfficeMac and Office on Windows, the formatting will be off because two platforms use different installed fonts and formatting. This will cause a productivity lost and require extra editing at work
If you could share just PDF's then your fine, but that will unlikely be the case.
So to share files seamlessly your going to have to install Windows 7 (another $300) full version, 64 bit, using Apple's Bootcamp.
https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
It's ok, though, you can boot into OS X to use that online and surfing etc at home. It's the internet and sharing of files from other Windows users that cause Windows to hoze up, so mimimalize both of those and you should be fine.
You can also run Windows 7 in a virtual machine software like Parallels or VMFusion. as long as you don't have any super demanding needs of the hardware, like running 3D games or super intense CPU actions like video processing. Office work is just fine and it's safer than Bootcamp, as in a virtual machine you can keep "snapshots" of previous states of the OS, and revert back to in case something goes wrong in mere seconds.
A real good piece of news though, Windows 8 is so radically changed from Windows 7, that your workplace will remain with Windows 7 as long as possible to put off all the retraining necessary with that new OS version.
So think of the $300 + $60 investment in Windows on your Mac as a longterm thing. -
Help: Can't get iTunes to work with VTBook from Village Tronic
After installing a Village Tronic VTBook display card into my windows laptop, iTunes will no longer recognize/sync with my 5th Gen iPod. Additionally, CPU useage gets maxed out between service.exe and iPodService.exe taking 98% CPU.
When I uninstall the VTBook drivers and roll-back the system to a restore point before the drivers installed - everything works fine between iTunes and iPod.
I'm using v7.0.2.16 of iTunes and v1.2.1 iPod firmware. I've tried both the v2.4 and v2.3 VTBook drivers and I'm at the end of my rope and ready to return the VTBook card.
My question is: has anyone else experienced this and/or does anyone know how to get it the iPod to work with the VTBook drivers installed?
Thanks.

Premiere Pro/Prelude CS6 not working with AVCHD from Canon HF G10
I just tried switching from Final Cut Pro 7/X to Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and have not been able to get Premiere Pro or Prelude to work with AVCHD footage from my Canon HF G10. The system runs Mac OS X 10.7.4 on a 3.4 GHz quad-core iMac with 16GB of RAM and 10Gbit/s Thunderbolt RAID for video storage. Adobe Updater ran yesterday and installed CSXS infrastructure updates which did not fix the problems.
After importing several short (less than 5 minutes each) 1080p30 clips into Premiere Pro, I can scrub over the first few seconds of a clip but afterwards it stalls or mixes in frames from the beginning of the clip. Rendering 30 seconds of video does not complete in reasonable time, i.e. takes more than 5 minutes. I figured I would try ingest the footage with Prelude and am running into the same problems. Scrubbing does not work, only the first few seconds from a clip are available. When configuring Prelude to transcode on ingest, I am getting "Import XMP failed" errors. I already spent several hours trying to figure this out. In the meantime, I finished the project using Final Cut Pro X :-\
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Niels.Any chance this gets fixed soon? I'm shooting with an AF-100, and at this point I'm still using Final Cut to transcode my footage so I can have audio. I've also noticed the video jumps around even when it does have audio. Prelude has been extremely problematic for me, and it doesn't have a way to bring in clips that returned errors upon importing, I have to write down the clip numbers and bring them in individually. I've also tried just dropping the file structure from the card straight to the hard drive. It's a huge problem, and is keeping me from making the switch fully from FCP 7.

CANNOT import RAW files from CANON 40D to Lightroom 1.2
My color setup in 40D is sRGB
my system is windows XP
but when I want to import files from my CF card
it will show the message: some import operation were not performed.
the files use an unsupported color mode.
pls tell me how to solve this problem~Sorry for the above post. My daughter hit the keyboard. I am having the same trouble and I have tried shooting in Standard Raw and with the attached Jpg. I get a message that states it is a unsupported color format. Any ideas? It sounds like everyone else has got this to work but it simply will not work for me. I am running Vista if that makes a difference.

Working with footage from Canon 5D Mark ii
Hi
I have recently started working with video taken on a Canon 5D Mark ii.
Should I always convert all my footage into Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ) when I want to edit HD 1920x1080 footage?
Also I have just finished a project not knowing that this might have to be done, and when I added colour correction the exported quick time conversion looked terrible.
Is there any way to save this edit, or should I just convert the origional footage and start again?!
ThanksThis is a topic that gets discussed a lot, and i'm curious if anyone has any more insight into it. From what i understand, ProRes HQ is 10-bit codec, while normal ProRes is 8-bit. The footage coming off of your h.264 camera is in 8-bit space, so if you encode it to 10-bit, you're just getting filling in a bunch of extra space. it's like building a 3-car garage for your motorcycle.
One of the reasons the files get so much larger going from H.264 to APR is that H.264 is an inter-frame codec, meaning that it uses information from more than one frame and evaluates the changes from frame to frame to calculate what any individual frame should look like. This means you don't need to store as much raw data for each frame, but it's more processing intensive to calculate the image from what's there. Final cut doesn't like to do this kind of calculation, at least in its current incarnation. So you convert it to APR 422, which is an Intra-frame codec, which stores all of the information for each frame individually in one place, even if it's a relatively unchanging shot. this means a lot more raw data, but it also means final cut can just look in one place for each frame and not have to figure out how to build it out of the surrounding frames. larger files, but easier on the program.
premiere is supposedly kicking *** right now with dealing with this kind of stuff. and they are integrating h.264 specific chipsets in some of the newer computers, so it may become less of an issue in the future. from what i understand anyway.
anyway. if anyone has any other shades of clarification about what's going on with the technical sides of that stuff, i'm trying to get more clear myself. -
Cannot get KeyListener to work with JAI ScrollImagePanel
I am trying to display a TIF image and use the page up and page down keys to show page 1 and page 2 of the image. I started with an example for the JAI documentation.
The problem is that I can't get the key event listener to "see" keystokes.
I think ScrollImagePanel() is doing its own event listening and I don't know how to get at it.

Bill BlalockThanks for exanding your explanation. I am not yet skilled enough in Java to follow you completely but I am getting the idea.
I would appreciate a code snippet using my example so I can better understand. In the mean time I found one way to make it work.
In the example I eventually found that this change ..
show();
panel.requestFocus();enabled the key listener. Bringing the window, even clicking on the panel, didn't give it focus. I understand that the window has to have the focus in order for the key listener to function (different from the mouse listender). I don't understand why the application did not have "focus" even though it was on top and active.
Oh well, lots to learn.
Thanks for your suggestion! -
Cannot get "passwd" to work with pam_winbind (Active Directory/Samba)
I've have a Samba Active Directory server and AD users can log in to linux boxes. I'd like them to be able to change their passwords from Linux.
I've set up winbind and PAM and users can log in fine. However, users cannot change passwords.
I used the PAM configuration as per the wiki, although I note that /etc/pam.d/passwd doesn't include the "system-auth" file that the Wiki instructions describe. I can either paste the "password" entries into /etc/pam.d/passwd or modify it to include "system-auth". I've tried both ways without any luck. Here is the PAM config I have (from the Wiki instructions):
password [success=1 default=ignore] pam_localuser.so
password [success=2 default=die] pam_winbind.so
password [success=1 default=die] pam_unix.so sha512 shadow
password requisite pam_deny.so
password optional pam_permit.so
and here is a typical session

Cannot get LR4 to read xmp files from a Nikon D4, Reads the D3S xmp files fine.
I am doing some editing work for a magazine. The lead editor had issues with adobe camera raw viewing some of my edits. The xmp files are there but for some reason they are not loading. We narrowed it down to just the Nikon D4 files. I just had her download a trial version of LR4 and we are getting the same issue. The xmp's are there in the same folder as the .nef files. Import into Lightroom, and all D4 files do not show my edits.
We are both running Lightroom 4.3, Camera Raw 7.3.LR may or may not have up-to-date XMP files if you haven’t explicitly written them.
I have not encountered the XMP-ignored-if-timestamp-before bug but I believe it is the actual Windows/Mac file-modification timestamp, not something inside the file.
My suggestion is to write all the XMP files, again, and resend those to her. That way you’ll know their contents is current and that their timestamp will have been updated to something after the raw files timestamp. If the images are all in oen or a efw folders then the easiest way to update all their XMPs is to right-click on a folder in Library and choose Save Metadata. If the photos are more scattered but you can select them all in the Library grid view just right-click on one and choose Save Metadata to Files—make sure it says Files not File.
I assume both of you are on Windows, not one on Windows and one on a Mac?
Maybe you are looking for
