Default items on the Inspectors Panel

Aperture includes: Exposure, Levels, and White Balance as the default items that show up in the Adjustments section of the Inspectors Panel.
I would like it if "Highlights and Shadows" was also in the Inspectors Panel when it launches ... it seems like there should be (and probably is) as setting somewhere when I can tell it what to display, I just have not found such a setting yet.
Anyone have a clue where to find such a config setting?
Thanks,

No one else has found the setting just yet. About the closest is are shortcuts for brining up the other adjustments:
Control-H - shadow/highlight
Control -S - sharpen
Control-M - monochrome mixer
Control-N - noise reduction

How do you remove items from the assets panel that are duplicated?

How do you remove items from the assets panel that are duplicated?

If you add an item to a slideshow, you'll usually see 2 entries for that image in the assets panel - one represents the thumbnail, and the other represents the larger 'hero' image.
It sounds like you may have added the same image to your slideshow twice. You can select one of the hero images or thumbnail images in your slideshow and use the delete key to remove it. Then the extra 2 entries in the assets panel should disappear.

Is it possible to duplicate an item in the project panel with scripts?

Hey all, I'm trying to make a script that will duplicate an item in the project panel. I know you can duplicate an item in a comp, but I'd like to duplicate a project Item...app.project.item(2).duplicate();
Something like that, is it possible with some other coding to do that?
Thanks

Dave, I'm trying to duplicate in a script running inside AE. I guess I could try to do a system command to duplicate, but I'd really like to do it inside AE so I can keep track of the new layer.

Is there a trick get around physical bundling of items on the front panel?

Ok - so I appreciate how bundling items on the front panel into a cluster can make the programmatic code very slick and easy to access.
I know this is completely obvious - but it forces me to arrange my front panel objects I would prefer not to arrange them. Here's why: I have my objects grouped together in a manner that reduces the number of datasocket read/write necessary for VIs to intercommunicate - they are grouped based on how they should be communicated to other VIs - not based on their physical arrangement on the front panel.
It seems the only way I can organize my objects into a cluster that appears as a pink control/indicator block in my diagram is by assembling
the objects into a cluster on the front panel... and this pink block is very useful as I can make local variables for it. This is much simpler than having all the controls and indicators bundled into a cluster for network transfer... but still having to use local variables for each control/indicator in order to use it elsewhere in the diagram.
Ugh. I fear this message is too much rambling and not enough information for anyone to help me... I'm going to post it in the hopes that someone can follow me.
I guess before I submit this I should remind you of what I was hoping to accomplish - to use the front panel to group objects but then skirt the requirement of keeping this objects in the same physical cluster box on the front panel.
again, ugh,
Jim

Place all your front panel objects the way you want them then in the block
diagram use the Bundle by Name vi to create a cluster.

Missing Items in the Action Panel

Hi! I'm making my way through Adobe Flash CS4 Professional Digital Classroom and am stumped by one of the directions.
I'm learning the basics of ActionScript 3.0 and it says, referring to the Action Panel, "Press the Add a new item to script button and choose flash.display > MovieClip > Methods > stop."
However, when I click the Add icon, it lists only:
Top Level
Language Elements
adobe.utils
air.net
fl.accessibility
fl.containers
fl.controls
I don't see flash.display anywhere. What did I miss?
Matt

Thanks, but I don't think that's it.
This is what I see:

How to get default presets to the left panel

I finally installed lightroom 3 after many, many months of it sitting on my desk. I have been watching tutorials, and playing around with it, and I have found that the default presets are only on the right side panel in library. On the left panel in develop the heading presets shows up but when I click on the triangle nothing shows up under them. I did see a question already on here to right click on the heading and check it which I did a few times just to see if it would work and nothing. This is very frustrating because I have to click on each preset and undo it if I don't like it. Please help.

Hello!
When I left clicked in the spot shown below,
This field is shown (shown below). As you can see the preset menu is checked, thus the presets being shown.
Is this what you are referring to? when you left click nothing is shown, and nothing is listed under presets?

PE11 organizer, the default categories in the keyword panel did not download?

organizer

Open you Apps store application and click on the Purchased tab. The applications should be listed there and is either grayed out which means it's installed and in your applications folder or the button says "install". You can click the install button and it will download and install to your apps folder.

Change the default video properties in inspector

Hi !
I would like to be able to change the default setting in the inspector for video clip when first added to a timeline.
i.e. the Spatial Conform is by deffault set to FIT and I would like to be NONE as I work with 2K files on a 1080p timeline.
also I wonder if CROP setting is disable perhaps rendering is a little bit faster ? (on clip with several effects and animations) ??
so I'll prefer to disable it when I don't have the use for it (as default setting for all futures video clip)
Thanks in advance.

humm I think you "mis"understand a bit what I ask.
I would like to be able to change this default setting in FCPX forever...
so every time I add a new clip in my timeline, it will be with these setting...
so... I think it is not possible.as Tom Wolsky said, I have to ask a feature request to the Apple FCP X developpers...
Thanks

How can I change the default URL in hyperlink inspector

How can I change the default URL for link to external page in the Hyperlink Inspector?

You can't change the default url in the inspector.. but an easier way to do it rather than editing the box everytime you need to build a link is to copy the url you want to link to and then highlight the text or image that users will click on and then click enable hyperlink.. when you do that whatever the last url you copied using "command" "C" will automatically be entered into that box and replace "livepage.apple.com"
It saves alot of time if you are doing alot of links.
Hope This Helps!

How do I delete a link in the link panel?

I have moved an item out of the links folder on a project I am working on in IDCC and when opening the project it tells me, rightly, that a link is missing. When I go to the links panel I see the alert that the linked item is missing, which I know, and I want to delete the link in the links panel but see no option to do this, also the delete key does nothing when the item is highlighted, and right-click (^ click) offer no delete choice either. How can I delete this item in the links panel?
TIA,
Ken

Amazing how the hot weather has affected me. Thank You Peter - so logical - I missed it while thinking of 15 other elements and a hurried deadline...

How do I get Firefox to recognize my new default printer as the old default printer is no longer connected?

I have installed a new default printer in my computer which is running Windows XP Pro. When I try to print from the browser it keeps showing the old printer which is no longer connected to the computer. Every other program has recognized the new default printer. The Control Panel indicates that the new printer is the default.

You can force Firefox into forgetting the old printer.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''print.print_printer''', right-click on it and choose '''Reset'''
# Restart Firefox

A few tips about using the Text Panel

A recent question about the text panel set me to working with it and I thought I'd share some tips I discovered, since the help files don't explain the text panel at all.
At one time I called the text panel "useless", but I've changed my mind -- it's a nice thing to have. Essentially it's a quick way to instantaneously
Create a new layer with a semi-transparent layer style.
Create a rectangular shape on that layer.
Add a drop shadow effect to that shape.
All with a double-click!
You access the text panel from the "Effects" panel and its "Photo Effects" icon, choosing the "Frame" effect:
Double-clicking on it creates the layer and the shape. By default, the text panel layer has a semi-transparent layer style applied to it and this has caused great grief for those who want a completely opaque background behind some text. Not to worry, that's easily done. To whet your appetite, here are a few effects that can be achieved with the text panel:
Let's start with the "Big text" box:
Create the text panel.
Because we want an opaque panel, right-click on the shape in the Editor and select "Clear layer style". POOF! Instantly you've got an opaque white shape with no drop shadow.
Move and resize the panel. (It's still horizontal at this point.)
Add some text (which will come in on its own layer).
Size and position the text relative to the shape, and when you're satisfied, select both the shape layer and the text layer (using the Ctrl key) in the Layers panel and click on the "Link layers" icon at the bottom of the Layers panel. This links the shape and text so they can be moved and rotated as one. The layers wind up looking like this:
Now, let's look at the "small text" box:
Create the text panel.
Position the panel and add and position some text as before.
Because we want the text panel to be a dark grey (instead of the default white), with the text panel layer selected, select the "Create new fill or adjustment layer" icon at the bottom of the Layers panel and select "Hue/Saturation...". Be sure to use the "Clip to layer" icon, and lower the "Lightness" value:
This gives the nice transparent grey background so the white text shows up very well, even against the bright white of the clouds.
Select all three of the layers and link them together:
Finally, you can have some fun with the "Fancy" effects:
Create the text panel.
Position the panel, add some text, and set their positions.
Add a "Hue/Saturation" adjustment layer as before (clipping it to the text panel shape layer).
Colorize the text panel by using these settings:
5. Don't forget to link the layers together:
6. Double-click on the "fx" icon to the right of the text panel shape layer, which will bring up the "Layer effects" dialog box. Here you can create the bevel and adjust the size and transparency of the drop shadow.
You can also get this nice faded effect on the text panel:
After following the steps listed above, add a mask layer to the text panel shape layer and draw a gradient fill on that mask layer to fade the layer. I used a linear fill going from white to a dark gray because I wanted some of the text panel to always be showing:
N.B.: Make sure you always clip the "Hue/Saturation" adjustment layer to the text panel shape layer so that the H/S adjustments only affect the text panel.
That's it! Enjoy!
Ken

Yes nice job.

Best way to do an inspector panel?

Ok, I've been trying to figure this out on my own, but nothing I do really seems right, and I still don't have it working perfectly anyway, so I'm asking for advice. I've got a document-based, core-data app that makes heavy use of bindings. The Core-Data model is not particularly complicated, but it's not dead simple either. There are 5 entities in it, and they each have a fair number of attributes along with optional relationships to others in the model. Each document contains an array of one of these entities (which by relationship means there are multiple instances of some other types of entities). One type of entity is only supposed to be instantiated once per document.
I want an inspector panel that lets one view and modify the attribute values of this entity that's only instantiated once. As there should only be one inspector panel in the application even with multiple documents open, obviously the inspector panel should be in a separate nib. Here's where I'm running in to trouble. What is the correct architecture for having the Inspector panel connect to the entity that's part of MyDocument? Included in this question is the solution to the problem of making the inspector panel update itself when a different document is brought to the front. The things I'm doing now are overly complicated and don't really work at all.
If anyone can explain a good way to do this, I'd really appreciate it. It seems like it has to be a common problem because there are tons of applications with a floating inspector panel which applies to the frontmost document. If anyone can point to a good tutorial that address this rather than explaining it, that would be helpful too. I haven't been able to find one searching myself. I would like something that specifically covers Core Data and Bindings, because I'm using both.

Hi,
I have the same issue, whereby I am trying to send data from my MyDocument class to instances of a Textfield which was created programatically, ie NOT in Interface Builder.
Would love to chat regarding options if possible? At the moment I am trying with Notifications, but any data is sent to all instances, rather than one particular one.
Do you use msn? Alternatively, would you contact me via http://mootymoots.me.uk so we could chat?

Missing items on Bridge filter panel

I just took 4 new raw photos and copied them to a folder on my computer. I opened up Bridge and navigated to that folder. I see the 4 image files but the “Filter” panel is missing almost all the items and looks like this:
If I navigate to another folder, then all the filter items are listed. If I copy a few image file pairs (arw and xrp) from a folder where all the filter items are listed to this folder, then all the filter items are listed and the totals include the original 4 image files. The “Filter” panel then looks like this:
The above totals are still not correct. The 4 new images were set to a *** rating. The 8 images I copied into the folder also were set to a *** rating. The “Ratings” item lists those 4 images as incorrectly as unrated but the totals for “Orientation” and “ISO Speed Ratings” are correct.
I then created a new folder and copied the 4 pair of arw/xwp files to it. I then navigated to it in Bridge. For a fraction of a second, all the items in the “Filter” panel appeared but then it immediately changed to just “Keywords” and “Camera Raw”.
What do I need to do to restore all the “Filter” items to this folder and to have the totals be correct?
I am using Bridge CS5 v4.0.5.11 and Windows XP Pro SP3.
Thanks to anyone who can help me out.

Curt Y wrote:
Just to restate the problem: when looking at the folder the keywords and star ratings show, but the filter does not indicate they are there?
In the filter settings you have keywords and star ratings checked?
The images have a *** rating that shows under the images (I added no keywords) but there is no "Ratings" item in the panel to select (unless I add those other images to the folder). In addition, the other items (such as "Orientation" and ISO Speed Ratings") are not in the panel either. That information is part of the image files so it should always appear.
I just opened Bridge again and now there are 4 items in the "Filter" panel (before there was only 2).
Here are the "Filter" panel item selections:
All those items should appear in the "Filter" panel but for the folder with these files, they do not (unless other files are mixed in with them).

Rolls in the Source panel?

Hello,
A fairly simple question, but I'm kind of stumped: how can I get individual rolls to show up in the source panel on the left of iPhoto? I've imported some folders from my PC, and they are automatically reorganized as new rolls in iPhoto, but the Source panel only presents me with the following options: 2006, Last Roll, Last 12 Months, and so on. How can I set it up so that each of my rolls is displayed as a separate item in the Source panel?

Jakey1980:
What argento is describing is creating an "album" and then dragging the photos from the roll into that album. You can have virtual folders in the Source window that can contain albums, slideshows, etc. and other subfolders. But actual Rolls are limited to the main library. Here's what some folders and albums would look like.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
