Could U-Verse "incentivize" bundling by fine-tuning its Family Package?

I'm a U-Verse Intenet customer but not a U-Verse TV customer because of the ATT's current offerings on the U-Verse Family Package. Like many people I know, I am mostly streaming via my video streamer, nearly always in the evening hours. I prefer watching true drama such as found on Identification Discovery, or other drama on television drama series, and don't want to pay for a tv package with a high number of channels. I'd bundle my U-Verse Internet with U-Verse TV if ATT would add ID Discovery to the Family Package and maybe add two more similar channels. I doubt there's any real risk of crossing an obejctionable content "red line" with such changes as far as objectionable content is concerned, and ATT might benefit from changing the name of the package to something more apt, such as "U-View", to indicate a package that is somewhat limilted but still has good appeal. I feel ATT would attract many new customers to bundling without a substantial loss of customers from a 'fine-tuning" of the current U-Verse Family Package.

Aperture 3 with Nikon D90 - How should raw fine tuning look like?

I try to trouble shoot my Aperture 3 (trial) installation. I have some troubles with the raw fine tuning controls and after reading the manual (again) I noticed that the fine tuning controls I get for my D90 are different from the ones displayed in the manual.
I get boost, hue boost / sharpening, edges / moire, radius, noise-reduction sliders.
In the manual there is no noise-reduction slider, just a check box for Auto Noise Compensation.
I got that control in Aperture 2, but not in Aperture 3. Now I’m wondering if something went wrong with my Aperture 3 installation. That would explain the problems I have with raw fine tuning. But before I try a complete clean install of my Mac i would like to know if I get the right raw fine tuning controls in Aperture 3.
Does anybody use Aperture 3 and a Nikon D90 and could tell me how the raw fine tuning controls he gets in Aperture 3 look like?
Thanks.

Greetings, First be sure you have your d7100 properly set to take maximum detail NEF images.
Go to your d7100 shooting menu and choose NEF (Raw) recording > Type
Choose N Lossless Compressed
Then go to NEF (RAW) Recording > NEF (RAW) Bit depth
Choose 14 bits
You were given good advice that you should not mess with the raw fine tuning brick in Aperture 3.6
Your d7100 has a default RAW import preset - make sure you have somehow not changed that Apple Aperture coded
raw fine tuning preset - this could make all your images far less sharp on import. You can easily revert to the Aperture 3.6 raw import brick default for the d7100 if you have somehow changed it by error. And always be sure to use your Aperture loupe or full screen viewer when applying any adjustment bricks.
Finally be sure that you understand the differences between the Sharpen adjustment and the Edge Sharpen adjustment. Both of these are very sensitive and very different sharpening tools. I do not shoot with a d7100, but use other Nikon FX DSLR's and I have never felt that any of my NEF imports lacked either Sharpness or Edge Sharpness given the Apple Aperture default raw image digital converters for each particular Nikon body. Good luck.

Fine-Tuned Control: Purchase Order

Hello
When I make : SPRO -> Material Management-> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control->Message Types->Define message type for purchase order->Fine-Tuned Control: Purchase Order
What means the U=>Update print-dependent data
Somebody could tell when I can use it, and tell me the impact of this.
Thanck you very much for your help.

Hi,
If you select this indicator "Update print-dependent data" under Fine-Tuned Control option then in PO, if you click on "Print Preview" button then system will not show the pop-up screen (which contains all the print parameters, default printer, Logical destination, etc...). And system will consider the output type as default for print preview for which "Update print-dependent data" is marked.

Raw Fine Tuning 2.0 not available?

I'm using the Trial version of Aperture 2.1.2 and tried editing FujiFilm FinePix S2 Pro raw images. For Raw Fine Tuning, only versions 1.0 and 1.1 could be selected (and thus sliders such as "Recovery" are unavailable). I did a Software Update (which installed Raw Converter 2.5), and I restarted my system. No apparent change: only 1.0 and 1.1 are the choices.
Does this mean that Raw Fine Tuning 2.0 is not available for FinePix S2 Pro raw images?

Perhaps...
I can understand if Apple chooses not to support or to discontinue support for a particular image type, especially given the Fuji circumstances. And I appreciate the ability to do a 30-day free trial. I guess where I got a little irked is that I had to spend time troubleshooting a problem I thought should have been documented (it is not a bug; it was a decision that affects the availability of product features).
Thanks for the replies, Brian.

Understanding Aperture's RAW fine tuning ?

Dear Aperture Experts,
I have been trying to familiarize myself with the RAW fine tuning brick for a while based on both the manual and internet research. However, I feel I still do not sufficiently understand its functioning and even have more questions now. I have grouped them in two categories below and would very much appreciate any skilled comments.
I use Aperture 3.4.4 under OS 10.8.3 with Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.05.
Many thanks in advance !
Philippe
A) Overall usage of the RAW fine tuning brick
Under which circumstances do you tweak Apple's default settings at all? I have seen people advocating they never ever change anything here stating it would be almost impossible to achieve any better result compared with the default, whereas others claim the very first thing they do for each and every picture is adjusting the raw decoding parameters, this being the whole gist of using a RAW workflow.
It appears that except for the moiré/radius settings there are adjustment bricks that can achieve similar processing as the other RAW fine tuning parameters. Under which circumstances would it then be preferable to use the RAW parameters rather then a corresponding adjustment?
Apple's default decoding settings are dynamic in the sense that its not just a fixed set of parameters applied to every image. Rather, I could observe that at least two different De-noise settings are applied (with my Canon EOS 7D) depending on the ISO speed: 0 up to ISO 1600 and 0.1 for 3200 and higher ISO speeds. 2a) Are there other parameters that are dynamically changed according to image properties? 2b) Is there a way to keep this dynamic behavior in self-defined presets for parameters that have not been touched, e.g. keeping ISO depending de-noise while using a lower hue boost value? Note that on the opposite it appears impossible to save a preset without changing at least one parameter from the Apple default. This means that you cannot automatically (e.g. at import) apply a static (rather than dynamically changing e.g. according to ISO) set of parameters being identical Apples's default. Strange.
Is there a way to automatically apply different sets of RAW fine tuning presets according to image properties at import time? I know there is the possibility to trigger an applescript subsequent to an import process. Based on this I understand one could apply different adjustment presets therein, but I don't think this applies to RAW decoding presets as well.
B) Individual RAW fine tuning parameters
I think I understand boost/hue boost. No question here
At first glance, sharpening is clear as well. However, I do not really understand how this parameter interrelates with the associated details slider (which used to be an "edge" slider in previous versions, suggesting a different function). When should I tweak one rather then the other? It appears that for my camera those two parameters are always set to 0 in Apple's default. I cannot believe no sharpening is required at all.
I understand that moiré/radius work together, but do they interact with De-noise (which is located in the same section), or is the latter independent from the former pair?
Can the moiré parameter pair be used to reduce chroma noise? I did not succeed at it, the only effect I observed was a hue change in some areas. Does it mean this slider (pair) is restricted to eliminating color fringes along edges in repeating small sized patterns?

That's true, because i've exported the images from my Aperture Library to my desktop (original JPEG settings from Aperture), and at that time i maked the snapshot of the EXIF, but here is the EXIF FROM APERTURE::
http://www.ldbproduction.nl/EXIF_Aperture.jpg
There are what changes in the RAW and JPEG:
So is the pixel size different, the color Depth by JPG is 8 bit and by the CR2(RAW) file is it 16 bit.
And the most stranged thing i see now is that the JPG version is using the sRGB-profile and the RAW used the Adobe RGB (1998), i realy don't know how to handle that in the camera! There is only one choice to make.

To extend a clip I have `Show Fine Tuning controls' turned on in my iMovie 11 preferences, but the blue forward/backward buttons don't appear. To get the orange handle bar, is there a hotkey?

Fixing Radio: Fine tuning songs (Hits, Variety or Discovery Mode)

Our radio has always been weird, you never know what songs it plays, and it always REPEATS THE SAME GOD darn SONG over the past hour.
It's time to fix it.
If you've tried, or at least clicked into an app of a competing service, this is how it looks like:
You can kinda tune the station to WHAT YOU LIKE, for eg, Hits, Variety, or Discovery and the radio will adapt what you want to hear.
Here's another example (A not very solid example though):
As you may know, Echo Nest is now a Spotify company, anyway, this shows the radio where you can slide to whether artist only or discovery in general (This might not be a good example, as if I just wanted to listen to the artist, I would've just went into the artist page and click on Shuffle Play.)
Here's another example:
This is a relatively new music service, but if you've tried its radio, you wil find out that its really really spectacular. You can tell the service what is your mood and it plays songs based on that, but if that's not enough. It actually has brand new algorithms that is built just for this, I read somewhere that it even monitors your location, the songs you play in that location/event, the volume the song is playing and when you hit the radio mode, it will analyze all of this algorithms and play based on that.
So the radio needs improvements in its really bad algorithms and a fine tuning option.
PS: If you go the comments section of this idea, in page 2, bought up a really good visual of a competing music service vs Spotify when using the radio, if you've time you should take a look and if possible share more of the problems that you face with Spotify Radio.

"Improving Station" is a joke. I have a station based on Laura Nyro. I keep getting the same very popular Nyro songs (but even that rarely) and some other 60s, 70s, 80s female vocalists. Nothing newer. I also get a ton of stuff nothing like Nyro, including male vocalists and male bands. How many times do I reject anything of Elvis Costello before you stop playing it? Same for many other artists. You really need to track that if someone has rejected every one of an artist, quit playing that artist. Or, better, provide as has been suggested elsewhere here, a button "reject artist." I've nothing against Costello, or Lightfoot, or the Doobies, or Bread, or many of the artists you put forth on my Nyro station. I just don't want anything besides lilting female vocalists on my Nyro station. (As well as much more Nyro.) Your learning algorithms are a joke, song by song is useless-- I have to come running back to the computer to keep rejecting stuff, even though I've been trying to "improve" the station for weeks.

Small fine tuning is required in the calculation

Hi Gurus,
   BI PM module for the report Schedule attainment filtered for one order.
The result supposed to be Total job scheduled = 1, completed orders = 1 and No of orders completed on Schedule = 0. However, the report shows, Total job scheduled = 7, completed orders = 1 and No of orders completed on Schedule = 0.
   By this what happens is that total jobs scheduled become 930 for Plant = 2200, Planner Group = P01, Order Type = PM03 while Completed orders and Completed orders on Schedule is correct.
    ie Formulae in update routine IF( IS_INITIAL( /BIC/ZIBFDCH ), 1, 0 ).
    Please tell the small fine tuning in the calculation, points will be assigned.
Regards,
Kiran A

Configurable Code-list not Extendable in Fine-Tuning.

Hi
I am facing some problems while changing the values in Code-list while using fine tuning process in Configuration. I have created three code-lists and then being added to configuration using BAC.
In this BAC I have created one business Topic and three separate business options. Each business option is linked with each bcc (business Configuration Set).
Now when I go to and “Edit project scope” I am able to get the code list on my UI using extension fields and values are there too. But the problem I am facing is that in “Open Activity list” when I open the Business Options NOT all the options are opening properly.
Although I have got some of them opening fine and let me make changes while others are showing errors.
Any Advice Please.
Many thanks in Advance.
Regards
Asad

Yes i have regenerated now and still the same problem is there.
Yes the flag has been selected in the BC SET.
in Fine tuning there is slight difference in BOTH BC views.
One with normal behavior only shows the code in code list while the one with Issues/Problems is showing code & Description in same CODE column while some Times it does show only code though??
Any guess here?
Regards
Asad

Latest batch of RAW files has all the raw fine tuning options greyed out

I shoot about 1000 images a week with my 40d and edit/organize all of them in Aperture... the latest batch (a pretty important batch at that) of 800 or so imported fine but does not allow me to use the 'Raw Fine Tuning' options as if they are JPGs. I can still go to the images i imported last week and the RAW fine tuning works fine, even some in the same album... any ideas?
Aperture 1.5.6

more informaion:
today's images imported fine, so you can rule out the security patch.
even more peculiar i exported some of the images, and imported the same masters back in and much to my suprise the RAW fine tuning works. I rebuilt the library hoping that would help but it didn't, I'm just going to go back through the library and re-tag and rate my picks from the shoot, but any idea on how to keep this from happening again? it has to be some wacky setting or something, I can export the broken image and the import it again and it works fine.
any help would be appreciated

RAW Fine tuning

The RAW Fine tuning options are not showing up in my adjustments hud. I have Aperture 1.5.6. I can't find a way to add this to my adjustments hud. How can I add this?

What camera are you using? I don't think that Aperture supports raw fine tuning for every camera—only those with optimized support.
Cheers,
Andreas

Fine tuning with 3D roatation tool?

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is (and I feel there HAS to be) a way to fine tune movements with the 3D rotation tool. Using the mouse works to an extent, but just like nudging movements with the arrow keys, it's sometimes impossible to get the placement I want with mouse dragging. I'm pretty new to using these tools so maybe it's super obvious and I'm missing it?
Thanks!

Use the Motion Editor to do some great fine tuning. You can adjust each property separately and it will give you much better control.
