Comparison With DXO

Now that some of you brave souls are actually creating lens profiles, at least a few of us will be interested in how the Adobe profiles compare with those created by DXO for use in their raw processing program. DXO's profiles claim to account for lens softness, something I don't think Adobe's profiles will do. However, I haven't a clue as to exactly what the lens softness adjustment actually does. A potential advantage for Adobe is that you profile your actual lens and camera body, which might vary a bit from whatever lens and camera DXO used for their testing.
I've always like the results I've got from DXO, but they have been really dragging their feet in releasing an OS X version of their latest software. If CS5 can do pretty much what DXO does, it will be one less program to buy and keep up to date.
I couldn't find this question covered yet in this forum (which appears very new); apologies if I'm trying to reinvent the wheel.
MIKE

My problem is that out of my 6 lenses, DXO supports only 2 for my camera body.
With ALPC, at least I can do my own profiles.

  • How to Create an Input Schedule Comparison with Data Using EVDRE

    Hello,
    I try implement the scenario described in "How to Create an Input Schedule Comparison with Data Using EVDRE".
    Once I am using the "Insert Function" from the panel and selecting the EVTIM function Excel crashes (see page 8 How to paper).
    Systems:
    BPC 7.0 NW SP02
    Office 2007
    BPCADminClient and BPCOfficeClient up to date
    Have anyone a solution?
    Thanks
    Oktay

    Hi Oktay -
    This function works in my BPC70NW SP02 system. Your issue might be that you are trying to access a TIME member that does not exist. Please make sure the offset value is a valid dimension member.
    I can confirm that EVTIM does allow the offset for base members (such as 2009.MAY) as well as parent nodes (such as 2009.Q1 or 2008.TOTAL)... BUT...the offset result of the EVTIM function needs to be a valid dimension member!

  • Comparison with other authoring tools

    Most of the time people get into one authoring tool like Encore, DVD Studio Pro, Sonic Solutions Authoring packages, ...
    I have the feeling with Encore 2.0 that it is not a professional package (but of course I could be wrong);
    a lot of possibilities, but not reliable and the result is not very professional.
    Subtitles don't look too great,
    a lot of bugs, really a lot,
    seamless transitions between animited menus,
    I'm curious to hear comparisons with other solutions which are professional, to orient and know more about the differences and similarities.
    DaLuna

    DVDit is ghastly.
    Encore is based on Sonic's DVD Producer, but has had a lot more of the options "Switched on" in the Authorcore. Plus of course it has a far better GUI compared to the Sonic one.
    Scenarist is seriously good, but seriously expensive, and as it is not an abstraction layer tool, it has it's own unique issues as well.
    If you want to try your hand with the scripting side of things, then you should have a look at DVD-Lab Pro.
    It's about to go to version 2, which will include goodies like Multi angle, Button Over Video, that sort of thing.
    It's only drawbacks compared to Encore are:
    1 - No DLT output.
    2 - No built-in Transcoding. You MUST feed it with DVD compliant assets.
    3 - Poor PSD support
    4 - No integration with other Adobe products
    BUT, it is well worth a look at $200

  • Inquiry quantity comparison with last week same day

    hi,
    i have a report to generate in BW, which needs to compare today's inquiry quantity with last week's same day quantity.
    for example. week2 monday comparison with week1 monday comparison.
    how to achieve in BEx to generate this report?
    regards
    venuscm

    Hi,
    Create two variables on 0CALDAY.
    1. For Current date
    2. For the correspodning date of the last week.( Same day as of current week)
    For the second variable , deduct 7 from the system date. it will give you the date of the same day in the last week.
    For e.g. system date is 10.05.2010 . and its a Monday.
    If you deduct 7 from the date it will give the date of the monday in the last week.
    Now create tow selection in the query structure one with current date variable and another one with the corresponding date of the last week.
    N compare them.
    Hope this will help.

  • Fonts behave different in Photoshop in comparison with Illustrator

    I have a problem: it seems that some fonts behave different in Photoshop CS than in Illustrator CS on my Windows XP. Where Illustrator opens a vector (Ill) EPS file correct Photoshop shows me wrong characters sometimes: for example: an é becomes a wrong character: Capital O with a stroke through it. Frutiger was used.
    My question is: where does Photoshop behave different reading fonts in comparison with Illustrator?

    Perhaps you forgot to embed the font?
    Here comes an example, using characters  with accents.
    The font is GillSans-Schoolbook. The font or subset is embedded.
    The file extension TXT should be replaced by EPS after downloading.
    The EPS doesn't contain a preview image.
    The file is correctly handled by
    Photoshop CS2 (opened)
    InDesign CS2 (placed)
    Illustrator CS2 (opened)
    PSAlter (PostScript interpreter by Quite)
    All characters with accents are missing in

  • KE24 Report comparison with FI GL account balance report

    Hi Friends,
    I'm comparing KE24 transaction code COPA actual line item balance with FI GL account balance report, but I'm not able to match it/not sure how to match it.
    Could you please let me know how to compare these two reports mainly to know whether all the balances in FI are moving to COPA properly. Also please let me know how the values are being extracted for this KE24 transaction code.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Dwarak

    This comparison can only be done with a thorough knowledge of the config that was made to transfer information into the COPA system. It is COMPLETELY implementation specific. It generally is grouped into several areas - Revenue, Cost of goods sold @standard, cost of goods sold period based adjustments (E.g. variances) and overheads.
    Here is some VERY broad guidelines:
    Revenue method will depend on whether you are using "vanilla" sales of inventory from SD, or whether you use resource related billing in PS. Further you will need to know which condition types post to which GL Accounts, and to which value fields.
    Cogs method will depend on the sames differences, also whether you are using material master price (VPRS), or whether you are using standard cost estimate. If you are using standard cost estimate, you need to know the cost components used, and which value fields they post to.You also need to know which GL account(s) is posted to. This is based on the valuation class in table 30. Alternatively, for resource related billing you have to know how the DIP profile was set up.
    You need to know how your production variances are posted, your purchase price variances and your overhead variances on production cost centres.
    Overheads can be posted directly from FI, from MM, or settled from an internal order or project. Alternatively, they are assessed from cost centres, to PA using assessment rules.
    You also need to know whether there are any statistical value fields, which should be excluded from the reconciliation.

  • Using Lightroom with DXO Optics

    Hello,
    I've just started using Lightroom and on the advice of a friend, have also started using DXO Optics Pro. From what I have read, DXO is used to make global modifications and Lightroom to specific modifications. There does seem to be some overlap with features between the two products. My eye is not sharp enough to see differences, if any, in the adjustments I might make in DXO vs Lightroom such as tone curve, hue etc. I am wondering if anyone who has used DXO has noticed if DXO handles certain modifications better then Lightroom and visa versa. Am I really better off making most or all of my global changes in DXO?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    If you are working with raw data, you kind of have to decide at one point you'll lose that full capability using these two products. If you do lens correction or other work in Dx0, you'll have to pass partially processed (linear DNG) to LR so you're not really working with raw data any longer. That's an important consideration in the workflow. Anyway, there was a recent thread about this on Luminous Landscape, you might want to pick through it then come back and ask questions here (or there):

  • Exit a comparison with focus on image with green border?

    If I am comparing images and decide I want to exit the comparison, I command-click the image with the green border, but the focus then goes to whichever photo has the thick white border. Is there anyway to exit the comparison and still have the focus on the one with the green border?

    I don't know if this was always the case, but after the upgrade to Aperture 2.1.1, I am now able to exit with focus on the base (green border) image by pressing option-return.

  • Project Comparison with MS Project 2010

    Hi to Everyone!
    I'm working with MS Project 2010, and I'm trying to compare two different versions of the same project using the built in Compare Projects tool available in Menu -Project TAB -Reports.
    The problem I have is, though I can finish the report the software only shows me the comparison table, doesn't show me the gantt chart; actually the gantt chart is empty and the timeline is automatically generated with the duration of 1 day.
    I Don't know what to do solve this problem or maybe is a software bug.
    I'll really appreciate if somebody can share any idea to solve this issue.
    Thanks

    Thanks for helping me.
    In my case the comparison dates are shown in fields (TEXT 4, 5, 7, 8) and the Start/Finish fields 9 & 10 are empty, in each file. But they appears in the Comparison Report
    In the comparison project Gantt chart it are not defined Task:Previous
    and Task: Current.
    At the end I added the definitions of the bars,
    Task:Previous and Task: Current, to the Bar Stile Dialog box and everything appears
    I don't know why I have this problem, maybe is because I'm using MS project 2010 in Windows XP Platform?
    Thanks for your help, finally I can have graphically my comparison report!

  • Editing pictures with DxO under iPhoto

    Hello Folks!
    Can anyone help?
    I do use iPhoto 6 and DxO Optics Pro 3.5.
    In the preferences of iPhoto I selected DxO as the external program which edits my photos.
    Now the issue starts: DxO renames edited files in order not to destroy the original. This leads to the situation that iPhoto does not find the edited file.
    Has anyone got a solution how the preferences should be selected in both iPhoto and DxO that both applications can work together? If not, is there any workaround to solve the issue?
    Kind regards,
    Holger
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Once you create the modified version on the desktop drag it into the open iPhoto thumbnail window. It will be imported into a new roll in iPhoto. You can then select that thumbnail and drag it onto the roll icon of the roll that the original file is located. That will place the new file in the same folder and the original file in the Originals folder.
    You do not want to do any moving or renaming of files and folders in the iPhoto Library folder from the finder. That's the kiss of death: Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder

  • Siebel CRM On Demand Comparison with competitors

    Can anyone share the Siebel CRM On Demand competitors comparison chart details or presentation.
    Thanks!

    I do not think there is any independent comparison chart. Every vendor might provide one showing their product beats everyone else. Gartner and Forester ranks CRM On Demand as the leaders in the CRM Space. They are still behind salesforce.com.
    I would suggest look at the functions you are trying to achieve and see which software would make sense. CRM on Demand is on a growth curve while salesforce has stabilized in the market space. CRM on Demand has some of the key functionality from Siebel and I can see they making rapid advancements. Salesforce has lot of partners. CRMOD R16 is going to be a major release with regards to functionality. Issue with CRMOD is they never tell you when they are coming out with a new release. This kind of sux!!.
    R15 of CRMOD has only 3 custom objects and R16 is expected to come out with somewhere between 8 - 30. Salesforce already has more than 30 custom objects (depending on the version).
    Salesforce data center architecture has been questioned of late - since all the salesforce customers were out for 40 minutes sometime last week. This will not happen in Oracle with their Pod Structure. One pod going down wont bring all the customers down.
    Oracle customer service has improved over the last year.

  • 13" vs 15" MacBook Pro comparison with premiere, final cut and vmware usage

    I'm looking to get back into Macs after a long time away (SGI then PC).
    I'd really prefer a top spec 13" MacBook Pro (rather than the 15) so long as it does what i want, i'm swapping a vaio for it so i'm used to a certain size.
    I would be making use of various graphics apps - photoshop, premiere, after effects, modo, final cut as well as needing to run visual studio 2008 and having a complete PC development environment set up.
    I know i can boot camp so that's always possibility although i would like to run vmware fusion ideally.
    I'm not too fussed about the screen size because i run 2x 24" off my main machine for proper editing/development and if i do use the laptop for development i'd be plugged into a larger monitor on location somewhere.
    My questions are how will the 9400M graphics card react to the above software? I don't play games so that's not an issue. Most 2D graphics software isn't that reliant on heavy 3D processing (except perhaps modo) but perhaps for the mac side of things that's not as true these days?
    Is there anywhere where someone has benchmarked real applications on the 9600 vs 9400?
    any advice or pointers would be very welcome!
    cheers
    paul

    Hi,
    I've been using my new 13" MBP for about a week now. I've been using Parallels to run XP/Vista/Windows 7 betas and occassionally Server 2003/8 on my MacPro for a couple of years and wanted a similar portable environment. I'm a .NET developer so I use VS2005/8, SQL Server 2005/8 and IIS for testing mostly C# code and database driven ASP.Net web applications.
    I was sceptical about all of the above being achievable on this tiny machine (it replaces a much-loved Powerbook G4 and a one year old 15" Acer Aspire, which looks like a breezeblock in comparison) and was initially bracing myself to take the hit of the 2.6Ghz 15" machine with 256MB dedicated graphics. But the people at the Apple suggested I give the smaller, cheaper machine a fourteen day trial and so here I am building a Silverlight site with SQL server backend in Vista. It runs just fine and the sheer portability of this 13" machine along with its cheeky, pint-sized charm means that I'm sticking with it thanks very much
    I may yet use bootcamp and run XP/Vista natively to squeeze out some performance gains, but this would be more due to geekish tendencies on my part than genuine need for a faster os.
    I urge you to try the 13incher - you won't regret it!

  • Sound comparison with Bose

    I just listened to the HiFi at the Apple store in Long Island. I brought my own iPod to listen to the music I already know (how to listen to). The HiFi was next to SoundDock, for easy comparison. (I'm neither a Bose fan, nor am I one of those who looks down the nose at Bose.)
    The first thing to notice was the difference in size; the SoundDock is considerably smaller (though not necessarily better looking). I probably prefer the look of the Apple product -- cleaner, over all.
    Then came the performance comparison. Overall, I was surprised to find that the Bose sounded better. I listened to cello suites, classical guitar pieces, and female voice, both jazz and pop (is Sarah McLachlan pop?) The SoundDock had considerably better requency separation; the cello was cleaner and crisper. On the HiFi, it was muddied. It also sounded like the intruments were in a hallway, whereas on the SoundDock it sounded like I was in a more intimate setting. I found similar effects listening to a couple different jazz pieces -- Winton Marsalis for trumpet and Joe Henderson for sax.
    McLachlan's voice sounded pretty good on the HiFi, though perhaps not quite so clear as it did on the Bose; the real difference on that tune was the instrumentals. On the HiFi, I could barely make out the guitars and other instruments whereas they were prominent (though appropriately so) on the Bose.
    The HiFi did a fine job on other, more aggressive sounding pop/rock tunes; it displayed serious volume and substantial base. In addition, the separation of the tweeters allowed for genuine stereo separation -- not plausible on the Bose.
    Perhaps the midrange/base is being asked to represent too wide a frequency band on the HiFi. Perhaps it needs a crossover tweaking. I don't know. But if you listen to classical or jazz or voice, and value frequency separation and clarity at the upper frequency ranges, Apple's HiFi will perhaps suffice, but it certainly doesn't match the Bose, and at $50 more, it is, in my opinion, not a very good value.
    SOS

    I appreciate the comments compared to Bose. I actually ordered the Hi-Fi online and just received the unit and tested. Not being an expert audiophile, i did appreciate the robust feel of the unit with the sound feeling just as solid. It is well built and complies with Apple's philosophy of simplicity.
    I am extremely disappointed with a couple of issues:
    1. The remote control is just to basic. Does not allow you to access your menu on the iPod even though the remote control does have a menu button. After reading the manual, i discovered that the menu button only toggles between inputs from different devices. For eg., if you had the Hi-Fi connected to Airport Express and an iPod on the dock, the menu button (on remote) only allows you to toggle between the two. You would think that an Apple designed and built product would give you full functionality of the iPod's menu through the remote. Sad this is not the case.
    2. For those of you who own the iPod Video, there is no Video Out capability. Again, i can't understand the logic behind this.
    Overall, i would give Apple's first attempt a 3.5 star rating out of 5. They can do better than this!
