Checked out Lightroom once again

I know this topic has been beaten to death -- and beyond -- but for what it's worth: I just got a new Canon 6D, which I like a lot, and for some reason, I thought I would also check out Lightroom to see if I was "getting everything" out of my new full-frame camera. Well, I don't know my way around Lightroom nearly as well as I do Aperture (I'm no expert on that, either, no doubt), but the results that came out of Lightroom were much more pleasing than those out of Aperture.
White balance was easier and better to work with, noise reduction as we all know was more intuitive and probably more pleasing than in Aperture, and I've always found the "clarity" slider in Lightroom pretty amazing. The exported pictures were sharper, with better color, and more pleasing overall.
I don't want to switch. I've never wanted to switch. I don't want to learn any more software, but I do want to produce the best possible pictures. I guess what I'll do is noodle around with both of them for a while (the Lightroom free trial is 30 days). Any thoughts out there?

Thanks for taking this seriously, Léonie and Terence. I'm not even sure what kind of reaction I was looking for in my original post. I think I'm feeling a little disappointed in Aperture lately. Below are two pictures I played with today -- certainly nothing special or particularly valuable -- but in each case I felt like Aperture produced something that was sort of grainy, artificial-looking and sort of "pixellated" or full of artifacts. The Lightroom output seemed more natural, "smoother," and just more pleasing. (I've worked with Aperture for four years, and don't know the first thing about Lightroom). I'll tell you below the pictures which was post-processed with which. And, Léonie, thank you for your reponse to the "try to take better pictures" post. I deleted my initial response because I intended to say, like you, that all RAW images require post-processing, but my response it wasn't as elegant or polite as yours. I've been into photography for over 50 years.
In each case, the Aperture version is on top; the Lightroom result is on the bottom.

In workflow need to check in passed validaitons and check out failed once?

Hi All,
Can any one let me know is the following requirement possible?
In workflow can I able to split records based on validation result? I need to check in passed validations and check out failed validations..
Regards
Rajeev

Hi Rajeev,
You can try out both branch step and validation step and see which serves your purpose better.
In branch step you can give multiple validation/validation groups,if result is TRUE take the first branch and check in at STOP.
If FALSE,take dont checkin at STOP,either cascade or Rollback as the case be.Also here you can call the same or other Workflow.The split branches can later be combined using MERGE or Group.
Other way can be by using Validation step,setup iteration threshold.here failed jobs will be sent to previous step and passed ones will move ahead in WF.Later you can checkin at STOP and failed jobs would still be in WF in checkout state.

Folder not checking out

Hi guys,
i created a new repository workspace and created a new project.
I then went to repository workspace and one of the folder under package i wanted to check out. Once checked out I cannot see anything happening on my workstation.
please advise what is the reason.
thanks.

hello Asif
this is very little information to go on...
As i understand the issue
Step 1: you created a repository workspace by right clicking on the 'Repositories' tab
Step 2: you created a new XS project
Step 3 : (my assumption) you shared the XS project
Step 4. you see the project folder in the repository workspace and try to check it out...
Also,
(my assumption) you are the only person working on the project
Is my understanding correct?
if correct, then there is nothing to check out!!!!
A check out downloads content on the HANA Repository (stuff you see in the System tab under the Content node) to your local repository (stuff you see under the 'Repositories' tab)
As you are the only person working the local and HANA Repository is always in sync hence nothing happens.
Try this
Go to Systems tab and expand the Contents node
Find the root folder of your XS project and *under it* create a new package
now check out
you will find your project shows the additional package as a folder
Warm regards

Where is the bookmarks stored?
I Install the Firefox once again since I upgrade my computer.
And I try to move the bookmarks from the old computer to the new one.
But I can't find anyone of them.
Is there any folder just like "favourite" to store the html file?
I really want to find out the bookmarks because actually i can't remember all the website that are important to me~ URGENT!!!~THANKS~

You can move file named places.sqlite from your old profile to the new one. It contains bookmarks and browsing history.
Here's a knowledge base article about it: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]
If you don't care about saving your current bookmarks, you can skip creating new profile (Firefox does it by itself at first run anyway).
I'd might suggest you to install addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2410/|Xmarks Bookmark and Password Sync]. It is a free web service which synchronizes bookmarks and (optionally) passwords with central server, and then to other computers, if you installed it on more. You may treat is as a backup too.

Multi user catalog and how to make it - use a checked out system

Lots of people want or need a Multi user ability in lightroom here is one way to achieve multi-user catalogs by using a check-in check-out system.
The Catalog would open normally upon a second user opening LR would then ask to switch to multi-user mode.
Once in multi user mode lightroom would lock-out images, collections, or folders by a checked-out for editing system.
By checking-out images, collections, or folders: files would be unavailable to other users until edits are saved, and the images, collections, or folders are checked-in.
This check-in check-out system would need a global check-in feature in case someone forgot to check in an image, collection, or folders (global check-in could be admin level). Word documents, CAD files, etc, use a similar lock-out/read only system for the files. Since, we wouldn't want to bloat the files with programing to lock out the files, this would have to be added to the catalog and managed by the catalog.

Your thread pool is a pool and probably keeps
the thread alive even though the thread has nothing
after a minute toi execute - you'll have to call its
shutdown() methodThanks Oxe...
I googled that (easy when you know what the answer is) and yes the ScheduledThreadPool retains threads for re-use, so you have to check that all threads are done and then shutdown() the scheduler... like this:     while (!future.isDone()) {
          try { Thread.sleep(10); } catch(InterruptedException e) {}
     scheduler.shutdown();
... here is the complete working class:
import java.util.concurrent.ScheduledExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;
import java.util.concurrent.ScheduledFuture;
import static java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit.*;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
class BeeperControl {
     private final ScheduledExecutorService scheduler = Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(1);
     public void beepForAMinute() {
          final Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
          final Runnable beeper = new Runnable() {
               public void run() {
                    tk.beep();
                    System.out.println("beep");
          final ScheduledFuture<?> future = scheduler.scheduleAtFixedRate(beeper, 250, 250, MILLISECONDS);
          scheduler.schedule(
               new Runnable() {
                    public void run(){
                         future.cancel(true);
               }, 3, SECONDS
          while (!future.isDone()) {
               try { Thread.sleep(10); } catch(InterruptedException e) {}
          scheduler.shutdown();
     public static void main(String[] args)
          BeeperControl bc = new BeeperControl();
          bc.beepForAMinute();

How to force checked out CSV Files to open in Excel and not in Notepad

Hi,
I'm looking for some pointers / direction.
.CSV files on SharePoint 2010 document library opens up in notepad by default. I did the DocIcon.xml CSV entry, changed the MIME type in IIS and did the IIS reset. Also on client computer CSV file is associated with MS Excel 2013. Now clicking a CSV file
opens it up in MS Excel.
Now a user checks out a CSV file and the same user clicks on the CSV file, the file is opening in notepad! If other users clicks on the same checked out file (checked out by the first user) it opens up in Excel for them. I've tried the 'Edit in Microsoft
Excel' from the pop up menu but with same result.
How can I force a checked out CSV file to open in MS Excel?
Thanks

1. Highlight one of the images and press cmd+i (or right click and select "Get info")
2. Click the dropdown menu and select Photoshop (you might have to click "Other..." to find it.
3. Then click "Change All" button below.
You're going to have to do this with every different TYPE of image (e.g. jpeg, tiff etc) but once you've covered all the types you won't have the problem again.
Hope this helps!

Once again, I need help...I'm starting to hate this board

Ok, I'm going to start from the beginning. When I first built this computer last year, (specs at the bottom) everything ran seemlessly. I upgraded to WinXP and no problems. Then my hardrive started screwing up around mid-summertime. The computer would freeze, crash, ect. Various things. After doing some research, running diagnostics and calling IBM, it was decided that the drive had gone bad. So I took it out, and bought a new western digital. After installation of the drive, and installing XP on the newly formatted drive, I expected everything to work fine. It didn't. First, there were blue and black screens of death. Sometimes the blue screens would mention something about IRQ's not less or equal, sometimes something else. Sometimes the computer would just restart for no reason. So I reformatted again. This fixed the blue screen problem and for about a day, everything (I thought) was cool. Think again. To start, I couldn't run any 3d application for an extended period of time without it freezing. And if I set the CPU to 1.2 ghz (where it should be!) it gets even worse. I even tried uping the voltage a little. No help. Sometimes the computer would just (once again) restart for no reason. Especially while using winamp. I tried different drivers, different bioses, readjusting my fan on my cpu, running memtest86 (which showed the memory to be fine). I have read through MANY threads on the forums and tried many other things, with no luck. The current situation, after attempting to install WinXP servicepack 1 is that I cant even load Windows. It always gets to the point where the blue bar is moving across while it says WinXP, and then the computer restarts. I ran tests to check how the powersupply was running during use, nd all the numbers looked good. The thing that really pisses me off, is that everything use to work fine, before the IBM drive crashed. Guys, I need some expertise and a Beer. I can do the second one myself and will gladly get a case for whoever can help me straighten this out! Even if I just have some part that needs replaced, I just need answers! Thanks guys!
Athlon 1.2 ghz 266fsb
Msi nforce k7n420pro
300W powersupply
Integrated graphics
256 mb Crucial memory
yamaha 24x burner
kenwood 52x cdrom
floppy drive
d-link wireless network card (could this be a problem? I was having problems before I got this card)

All these guys with there power supply is a bunch of bunk and the combine this and that. a decent 300w psu will run the nforce with onboard vid or a geforce 3 easely. and forget all the combined crap.
Heres what my 300watt power could handle before I gave it to my kid.
MoBo.
1900xp
Geforce3
Scsi card
Modem
2- IBM 60 GB 7200rpm
Cold cathode ray tube 12"
CD ROM
Smart media reader
And whatever else I plugged into the usb port and the only time I ever had Maveric's problem, which I had the same thing was when switch system driver from 1.0 to 1.05 they gave me the same thing he is having. so I stayed with the 1.0 until the 1.13's came along and they worked well.
I suggest his is a driver issue IRQ not less then, Bksod or random restarts or other blue screen errors.
Try the 1.00's
Oh by the way now my kid uses my old 300watter on his 1900xp nforce machine, with all kind of toys and his is also stable. So Wonky and Athlonix quit suggesting that a 300psu is not sufficent when in fact it may work very well. oh and one more thing Athlonix GET OFF THE SOUND CARD THING!!! the onboard works, can't you get that in your head. Only yours doesn't every one elses does. can someone draw a picture of that

Are you running any of Symantec's (Norton) or McAfee's Internet security products or anything similar, or an antivirus/antispyware application? There have been reports that some such utilities treat an upgrade to iTunes as a new application and can block the application from connecting. So you have to go in and reset the utility to allow iTunes. The same thing can happen if you upgrade the security product (this has particularly been a problem with recent McAfee upgrades).
Check the settings for your utility. If iTunes is still listed, remove and re-enable the exception for iTunes. Consult your utility's documentation for the appropriate procedure; you can find instructions for Norton on Symantec's web page for iTunes. You may also need to check the built-in Windows firewall as well.
Hope this helps.

Business process check-in/check-out - who has checked out and when?

We have been using the business process check-in/check-out functionality for 18 months and there are an increasing number of process's that have been checked out to the maintenance project and never checked in again. Is there a straight forward way in the system to see who had checked out a business process and when? When using the SOLMAN_DIRECTORY transaction it is easy to see which process's are checked out as they are marked the red OUT symbol and have check-out status = checked out - but no other information about the check-out seems to be available either in this transaction or on a separate report.

Hello Steve,
What Peter neglected to tell you is once you enable history on the Solution a history log will begin to populate.
It will show as the standard "Log" icon for HISTORY. Every change will be logged at each level of the structure.
Here is an example of a History log line....while it is not a check-in.out change it will give you an idea
Name Date Time Change Object Old Value New Value
I809573 24.01.2011 22:33:32 Process Availability Material Management 7 x 24 h
What you can do is filter the report on the values that will give you the check-in/check out against the objects you want to track.
This is how you can use the "Enable History" to get the information you are interested it.
Just two things to be aware of : 1) The history will not be retro active (unless it was already enabled), so it will start from the day you enable logging (history), and logs take up space, which at some point maintenance will likely be required, however I don't see these logs having high disk usuage.
If it were documents that you wanted a report on check-in/check-out for, you likely could use the transaction Solar_Eval under Documents, but there are no standard reports for this...and filtering the History log file accordingly is about the best reporting
that would give a result. This log file can be printed, or you could capture the printoutput to a file and there is your Electronic version of the report.
I hope this has helped.
Regards,
Paul

Bruce777 solved this for me, thank you Bruce! My printer now works perfectly on my new wifi network!
Bruce's instructions, for anyone else having the same issue:
- delete any previously set up printers
- scrub old hp software and update software to get the hp 2.8 drivers
- remove the usb cable from the printer if you have one connected
- reset the printer network to hpsetup (hold down the power button and press network button 2x and then cancel 3x, release power button.)
- print out the wireless network test report (hold down the network button and press the update button 2x). verify the network name / ssid is hsetup
- got to sys prefs > network and change the mac wireless network to hpsetup
- go to the sys pref > print scan
- add the HP 8000 printer
- click on the options and supplies button and click on the Show Printer Webpage
- click on the networking tab > wireless in the left pane > start network wizard and change the network from hpsetup to your network
- finish (this page may freeze up. close the browser)
- go back to the sys prefs and change the wireless network back to your networt
- go to the printer and print out the wireless network test report (press network button and update button 2x). Check that the SSID is your network
- go to sys prefs > print scan > select your printer > options & supplies > show printer webpage > network info (check ssid and compare to wireless network test report)
- try printing something to your printer. It might take a little time the first print.

Check out Error

Hi,
I am working with workflow,At the start i had checked out records,however accidently the workflow got deleted.
Now I am not able to delete or check in or rollback the record.
Its giving an error :Record already used in workflow.
Any suggestion
Regards
Nisha

Hi Nisha,
Login to Data manager using WF owner's credentials (Admin or WFAdmin, as per ur case) . Just right click on the record in data manager --> Check in/out --> All Versions. Now on the checked out version of the record launch the same workflow again (in which WF you have checked out the record in first step). Manually push the WF to next steps using data manager only (In workflows tab). Once this workflow gets completed, your record will get check in (Only if u have check in in the last step of ur WF configuration in visio). Then You will be able to perform any operations on that record.
Hope this solves your problem.
Regards,
Dheeraj.

Collab 4.1 on g6 windows 2003 check out not working

I am currently unable to check out documents from collab. We can downolad and even check-in, but not check out. I receive an error popup from IE that the the site is not available or cannot be found and to try again later. The portal base portal.xxx.com is listed. There is nothing in spy which leads me to believe that it may be security issue. This is an SSL installation and I have already imported the portal cert. Anyone experienced this?

BestBuy vending machine charge me few times despite of error screen I got during check out

I used one of BestBuy express vending machines at SFO to buy a Pebble Steel watch.
Unfortunately 2 times I got a technical error at check out process and on the 3-rd time successfully got a Pebble Steel watch. No any indication that purchase was processed at error screen. A few minutes later on my credit card, I got 3 transactions from bestbuy.
The problem is that my credit card has been charged 3 times, instead of just once, despite of error screen "Purchase can not be processed, try again later"!
My first experience with BestBuy express vending machine seems to be bad - I had to pay 3 times the price of a single product!
I try to contact Customrt care by phone and got some IVR which do not provide me any option to explain what my case is. Totally unusefull.
Does anybody knows whom to contact regarding payment issues with BestBuy express vending machihnes ?
Is it possible to be refund for incorrectly processed payments or to stop using those "bestbuy express vending machines" ?

Greetings assenk,
Welcome to the forum. Our Best Buy Express kiosks are a great way to buy electronics you need or want on the go without having to find a local store. I'm sorry to hear the Best Buy Express machine you used was not working properly. I can understand your concern when you discovered that there were 3 charges for the same product on your account, and I would be happy to assist you in having this resolved.
Using the e-mail you registered on the forum, I was unable to locate the purchase receipt. I would appreciate it very much if you could send me a private message with the receipt details (You name, phone number, e-mail address, date, and PIN number located at the bottom of the receipt.). Once I have this information I can see if they are pending charges that will fall off or if you require a refund. To send me a private message, please click to the right of my signature below.
I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused, and I look forward to continuing to work with you.
