Catalog settings and meta data is there a better way.

HI
I have adobe cs4 and light room 2.2 I do my editing in LR cropping exposure web galleries and so on on, thats all well and good but any modifications i make will not show up in the bridge unless i go into light room and apply save meta data to files. I have about 400 light room catalogs as I store the catalog in the folder that contains the original image. Is there a way to have light room automatically apply meta data changes to each catalog in stead of going to catalog settings or saving the meta data to the file. its a pain in the *** to have to go into a catalog and apply all those settings if i want to do some editing in the bridge

> ...is there a better way ...
Might I humbly suggest that your multiple (400!!) catalog strategy is flawed? You have defeated the benefits of having a single database. (And those that argue a database is bad concept and a possible single point of failure are ... well ... simply wrong.)
Lr can automatically write XMP data so that Bridge can read it. But the reverse is not true. Any changes that Bridge/ACR make will have to be imported into Lr with manually initiation.
The point and beauty of Lr is that you make the majority of adjustments in Lr. It's possible to make adjustments in Bridge and have them imported into Lr but as you discovered it is not automatic. And your workflow choice makes it doubly (or 400 times) more troublesome.

  • 16x9 - Nest and distort or is there a better way to convert?

    I'm trying to figure out the best way (quality wise) to burn 16x9 footage to DVD.
    I nested my final sequence in FCP, distorted it (-33.3), rendered it, exported it out of FCP via Compressor, authored it in DVD Studio Pro and burned it.
    Is another process in Compressor or DVD Studio Pro that would let me letterbox the footage so that when the DVD is burned it plays back with the black bars?

    What is the source of you "16x9" footage? Is it HD, or anamorphic DV, or some variation to produce widescreen? The fact that you had to distort it (-33.3) suggests that it is an anamorphic source that you are placing into a 4:3 sequence. My question would then be does it have to be a 4:3 non-anamorphic sequence? If your playback system support anamorphic video then why don't you process it as anamorphic 16:9 (full frame 720 x 480 for NTSC).
    Otherwise (standard 4:3), I think you are stuck with doing a letterbox and what you've done is probably as good a solution as any.<small><hr width="75%"><small>If this suggestion helps in any way, a confirmation or acknowledgment would be appreciated, since that would also help others who may be having the same difficulty.

  • EBS data and meta data retrieval

    Hi,
    I am into java and my requirement is to retrieve data and meta data of the underlying EBS implementation and make it available to the EBS end users for some kind of processing which is outside EBS.With my limited knowledge of EBS,what I understand is that there is a logical view and a physical view of the data.My queries are as below:-
    1. Is there a way to get the relationship between physical and logical view?
    2. How to get the meta data of the underlying table structures?
    3. Should JDBC drivers be sufficient to retrieve the data or is there any other more efficient means of retrieval.
    Any help on the same is appreciated as I am new into this area and any help is welcome.
    Thanks
    MNG

    Hi,
    1. Is there a way to get the relationship between physical and logical view?
    2. How to get the meta data of the underlying table structures?See Oracle eTRM website.

    3. Should JDBC drivers be sufficient to retrieve the data or is there any other more efficient means of retrieval. I believe using JDBC drivers should be sufficient. For using JDeveloper, please see (Note: 330236.1 - Configuring JDeveloper For Use With Oracle Applications 11i and R12).

    Someone could have stolen it in Kuwait...happens all the time .
    Seriously...FaceTime is banned there...there is no way to add it back to your phone...if you wanted FaceTime, you should not have purchased your phone there.
    BTW: You don't have any warranty or support for this phone in India.

  • I cannot remove the dialog box from my ipad. It says 'not enough storage' I click on settings and close, but still there. I need help. thx

    I cannot remove the dialog box from my ipad. it says 'not enough storage'. I click on settings and close but still there. How can i remove this message? Thnx

    Try this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • How to Create an R/3 source system and load data from there

    Hello All,
    Till now I have only worked with Flat files. I want to create an R/3 source system and extract data from there on to my Info Providers.
    Does anyone has detailed steps for that. I am using BW 3.5 system
    Thanks n Regards,
    Abhishek

    1. Type Transaction WE30. Check iDoc types
    2. Type Transaction SM59. Maintain RFC destinations
    a.) Open the RFC Destinations. b.) Find your Source System and double click on it. c.) Technical setting should contain information regarding yoursource system d.) Logon Information should contain source system client and name & password for you remote logon. We use RFC_SAB for BW logon to R/3 and RFC_AAE for R/3 logon to BW. Password for both is always xxxxxxx. e.) Execute your 'Test Connection' & 'Remote Logon'. You should NOT be prompted for a password, if you are then the logon info is incorrect. f.) Repeat above to verify RFCs for other systems (CRM etc)
    3. Type Transaction WE21. iDoc Processing Ports.
    a.) Select 'Ports' and then 'Transactional RFC'. b.) Click on the Port # for you source system. c.) Verify description & SAP R/3 version.(BW 2.1C should be release 4.x) d.) RFC Destination should be one created in SM59. If non-existent then create one
    4. Type Transaction SE16. Data browser (for R/3 &#61663;&#61664; BW Connections)
    5. Type Transaction SM30. Msg Types & Assignment to iDocs
    Enter 'EDIMSG' in the Table/View field. Click on the 'Enter Conditions' option for Restrict Data Range. Click 'Maintain'. Select Message Type. Then enter 'RSSEND' in "From' field. Verify that the Basic Type matches what is in your RSBASIDOCtable for each of your connections. If any are missing any entries you must create them as follows: Create another session and type Transaction WE30. Enter IDoc Type (ZSBAXXX) in Obj. Name field (Suggestion: Start new type with 'ZS' + Transfer Structure Prefix + (3)#'s) Select Create. Select "Create from Copy'. Enter 'RSSEND" in 'Copy From' field Enter Description (i.e. IDoc Type for BW Development) Execute (Green Check). Repeat for other missingentries.
    6. Go to the SM30 main screen. Clients Overview
    Enter 'T000' in the Table/View field. Click 'Maintain'. Verify correct Client and Description. If incorrect enter.
    8. On BW Type Transaction WE20. Partner Profiles
    9. On R/3 Type Transaction WE20. Partner Profiles
    10. Check all is correct

  • HT204053 can I purchase from two different stores ie store in New Zealand and Store in Australia and  how do I sync updates on applications?  Do I have to switch ID's in my settings each time or is there an easier way.

    can I purchase from two different stores ie store in New Zealand and Store in Australia and  how do I sync updates on applications purchased from either store?  Do I have to switch ID's in my settings each time or is there an easier way.  The trouble is I set up my appleid in new Zealand and so all icloud and itunes and app stores are under New Zealand Apple ID I have since moved to Australia. Im a real beginner at this stuff so bare with me pse.

    I'm in the same boat as you -- except that I manage both a school lab (volunteer job) and macs in the enterprise (pay job).  What I think we need is the Education Volume Purchasing Program
    http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/faq.html
    Unfortunately this all seems a little rough around the edges -- for example, I have found updates for AppStore apps on the support.apple.com updates download site, but then when I install them via ARD they don't actually update the software.  (The AppStore icons still show as needing the updates, and the version info reports the old version.)  The documentation is also vague about which AppleID to use in which circumstance.  I think they just haven't finished thinking through the implications of the various procedures and policies upon the various kinds of customers.  When we deployed Mountain Lion on the school lab, we made an install usb and went around and installed it on each computer -- and it appears that you are on the honor system as far as paying for all of the licenses that you install.  We did!  But they appear to have no way to enforce it.
    So far, I have only deployed 9 Lion macs in my day job, and our "solution" to the AppStore showing updates problem has been to drag the AppStore icon off of the users' docks so they don't see them!

  • HT201274 What's the longest it takes to reset settings and clear data on iPod touch?

    What's the longest it take to reset settings and clear data on iPod touch?

    If you mean Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings, it should take less than 10 minutes for 3G and later iPods. It can take hours for a 1G and 2G and the iPod should be connected to a charging source otherwise the battery may dies before it completes.

    I accidentally selected "do note allow" Pages access to my photos. Now I can't insert photos. Message says go to settings and select Privacy - but there is no such option in the Settings. Help! I want to be able to insert images in documents I create in the Pages app.

    Ok - I figured it out myself as soon as I posted this question. I went to my IPad settings - not the Settings in the Pages app. Problem fixed.

  • My ipad won't start up. I downloaded iTunes on my pc while my iPad was charging - could this have caused the problem? I don't want to restore to factory settings and lose data. Any ideas or solutions? Thanks, Linda

    My ipad won't start up.  I downloaded iTunes on my pc while my iPad was charging - could this have caused the problem? I don't want to restore to factory settings and lose data. I also recently successfully paired my ipad with a bluetooth keypad. Any ideas or solutions? Thanks, L

    FYI, your iPad will charge much faster if you plug it directly into an electrical outlet.
    When doing the reset, as Jackkcc suggests, make sure you let go of both buttons fairly promptly after the apple image appears, then wait another 10 seconds or so for the iPad to start up.  Note that a reset does not alter any data or settings.

  • When I share a file to YouTube, where does the output file live? I want also to make a DVD. And is this a best practice or is there a better way?

    I want also to make a DVD, but can't see where the .mov files are.
    And is this a best practice or is there a better way to do this, such as with a master file?
    thanks,
    /john

    I would export to a file saved on your drive as h.264, same frame size. Then import that into youtube.
    I have never used FCP X to make a DVD but I assume that it will build the needed vob mpeg 2 source material for the disk.
      I used to use Toast & IDVD. Toast is great.
    To "see" the files created by FCP 10.1.1 for YouTube, rt. (control) click on the Library Icon in your Movies/show package contents/"project"/share.

  • Hi, I had to re install my itunes library from a hard drive to my new laptop. Now I cant sync my iphone because itunes thinks all songs are new and basically doubling all albums. Should i restore iphone or is there a better way?

    Have you tried exporting a 10 second section of the footage to see if the issue shows up once the seqeunce is actually exported from the timeline. I edit on CS5 with windows 7 pro at work quite often and have no issues so I assure you that isn't the issue. I also edit with AVCHD footage when at home and work quite freqeuntly as well so I'm positive that isn't the issue. It sounds like a GPU driver has been corrupted in the way it interacts with premiere pro. What type of GPU do you have? If it supports MPE's GPU acceleration have you tried turning it off and seeing if that makes any difference?
    Anyways though try to export a 10 second test section of your timeline to see if when the clip is exported from premiere it will play normally in windows media player or vlc or w/e media player you want to use. If it exports fine then you can almost be positive it's a corrupted video card driver. If that's the case I'd re-install your GPU's driver and also check your gpu makers website to see if they have a updated driver avaiable.
