Defaults, Image Settings, Etc.

Members,
Everyday I am learning a new technique in CS4, but I missed something basic way back in ACR 4.0 and now that ACR 5.0 supports the JPEG I am more confused. I need to know the relationship of the RAW preview and JPEG in the camera and when I change ACR Defaults ( for example after adjusting an image.), and how to use Image Settings, and Custom Settings properly. If I change my camera settings to Vivid, for example, what happens to ACR Defaults? Which takes precedent?
I find the Adobe videos quite instructive and if someone can point me to one in regard to the above, know that I am grateful. Of course a text explanation would, in my thinking, be more personal.
Regards to all,
Charles

If my in-camera settings are irrelevant then what's the point of careful exposure and in-camera histogram settings?
Oh, it's absolutely critical to properly set your exposure–exposure, ISO and White Balance ARE indeed picked up and used by Camera Raw...it's just that all of the other "camera adjustments" are not. However, none of the other camera "tweaks" to your image are real...they're just metadata tags that get picked up by the camera makers' software but are ignored by ACR.
So, your actual ISO and exposure ARE important...those are indeed baked into the raw file. The White-point is picked up and used by default in ACR but you are capable of changing it...but color space, tone curves or other camera adjustments like converting to B&W are strictly done to JPEGs, not raws...

Default Image settings - handling multiple presets?

Default Image Settings allows for presets based upon camera serial number and ISO.
How is ACR handling overlapping presets? Does the addition of choosing the ISO within prefs simply override the noise reduction and leave the remaining presets untouched?
And, ( should be in feature requests ) would it then be feasible to add a pref in the future to make lens correction presets based upon embedded lens data. I realize that zooms often require multiple CA settings but primes can be relatively stable.
thx
pg103 seems to imply that its either serial number or ISO
>Select the appropriate options in the Default Image Settings section of the Camera Raw preferences to specify whether to associate the defaults with a specific cameras serial number or with an ISO setting.

>Default Image Settings allows for presets based upon camera serial number and ISO.
Uh no...it is wrong to consider the per serial/ISO as "presets"...they are "Defaults"...big difference in implication if not concept. The "Defaults" that are set based on ISO/Serial are hard "all in one" defaults that are captured when you make the current settings the default.
Presets can indeed use overlapping presets because you can save out subsettings as presets. That can't be done with Defaults.
As far as the lens corrections thing, expect interesting developments on that front for the next version.

What are default watermark settings (font etc) from LR2?

Would anybody know the default settings (font etc) that were used in LR2 for the copyright watermark? I recently upgraded from LR2.4 to LR3.3 and can't settle on an attractive copyright watermark at the moment. I was quite happy with the 'old' default watermark settings and would like to use it again in LR3...
Thanks in advance.

Slaps Head!!
I thought the simple watermark just printed Copyright 2011 but I thought I'd double-check before answering your reply. And it turned out I had set up my copyright info incorrectly on my import options.
So all I have to do is change my import options and I get what I want with the simple copyright watermark.
Thanks for setting me straight!

Changing default image tracing settings...

I am doing image tracing - and when placing it into a recorded action, it only does the default tracing settings. Is there a way to adjust these? I cannot seem to find it. Thank you!

You have to save your settings as a preset and use that in your action.

Note: I use Rob Cole's 'Collection Preseter' and a load of smart collections to apply these settings... I have a load more dev presets, including adjustments for extra sharpening when certain focal lengths or apertures are used, etc.

That shoots h.264 I believe, which is a delivery codec, not an editing codec.
Convert it to an easy set up for FCP, ie pro res, DVCProHD or something in the easy set ups using QT Pro

Change default table settings

How do I change the default table settings in Pages? I usually want 2 columns without headings or borders, and it always defaults to 3 columns with headings and borders.

You need to create your own default template. Open the blank template & insert a table, click in it & choose the font, size, color, etc. you want in the fonts panel or format bar. You can do similar changes to inserted objects & text boxes. While you're at it resize the box if you want, set the amount of extra space in the wrap inspector, etc. Delete each text box, object & table after you've set them. Now, save this document as a template & select that template as default in preferences. If you decide to make any changes to the template down the road, just Save As Template again with the same name & replace the previous version.
Now, save this as a template then, in Pages > Preferences, select this template as the default for new documents. All of your new documents will have these settings for inserted objects, images & tables. Unfortunately, the settings won't apply to any other templates or "foreign" documents you open with Pages.
About the only thing you can’t set a template to do is remember to show invisibles & the window position. It is possible to get a template to show invisibles when opened, if you want. Save this document as a document then, in the Finder, change the extension from .pages to .template & put it in your My Templates folder in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates.Set up your document with the line spacing, margins, headers, etc. as you'd like. Redefine all of the paragraph & character styles to have your desired font.

Any way to override default printer settings into a PDF

Hi -- I work for a large organization that has lots of computers and printers and prints a lot of forms and documents. We are moving towards more digitization of documents and records including printing forms as needed as opposed to having large sets of forms onhand. This should save us a lot of time and money once complete as these forms often change and the old process would be to then trash much of these documents and re-print for just one change. The majority of our printers do have letter & legal trays as well as duplex support, however due to the vast number of users the default printer settings tied to each user and/or computer may be slightly different. While standardizing all the printer settings across all users/computers would be one solution, we don't anticipate doing this as depending on the job peformed the different settings may be more preferable / advantageous for that user.
As such the other solution I can think of is to hardcode the specific printer settings needed to correctly print a large document into that PDF file which may differ from that computer's print settings. For example, the default computer print settings may be to print on just 1 side but duplex would be encoded / scripted directly into the PDF so IRREGARDLESS of the computer/printer settings this document would always print duplexed.
Is there anyway to do this? I would need to do more than just duplexing -- ie some form sets would need to be both duplexed and 'fit to printable area' whereas some would need to be only on one page and 'shrunk to printable area', etc, etc. Our current practice is to insert a 1 page coversheet at the front of each document with the printer settings that need to be used for that form set, however this has been difficult for some users to do and has caused unnecessary time with our IT troubleshooting form printing.
-Brandon

Hi Brandon,
You can use the Print Presets in Acrobat for that purpose. Please follow the steps below:
1. Open the PDF in Acrobat
2. Open Document Properties dialog (using Ctrl + D)
3. Select the "Advanced" tab
4. In the "Print dialog Presets" section, you can choose DuplexMode as well as Page Scaling for this document.
Please let us know if this works for you
Thanks,

Flash objects (images/buttons/etc) does not display on some PC's

I am trying to deploy an out of the box web application called the Mid-Tier, where some forms/pages in the application have embedded flash images/buttons/icons that do not display on IE despite the fact that there is Flash installed on these PC's. Most of the PC's are XP.
I suspect it is some of the security settings in IE. Unfortunately security options are disabled to end users so I cannot even get to see what these settings are..
This web application works perfect on some test PC's that have default browser settings and the same flash version installed.
The flash objects appear on these screens as white boxes instead of some control buttons and icons that should have been displayed.,. Hence these pages are non functional.
Any hints?

Sharing default develop settings in LR2

I have set up a bunch of default develop settings per camera model and ISO on my laptop. I would like to share these settings with my desktop. Where do I find the settings files?
Thanks
Nick

If Auto Sync is enabled and more than one image selected, any editing done to one of the photos will be done simultaneously to all the selected photos. If only a single photo is selected, it will be the only one affected. Thus, moving to a new photo that was not selected together with the previous one it will open with the default settings. Auto Sync can be enabled when multiple photos are selected either from the Settings menu or by raising the toggle switch on the Sync button at the bottom of the right-side Develop panel.
"Recently, LR sometimes opens with the settings I used in the last session, even though I have closed LR in the interim."
This is as it should be. LR should always return to the editing done in an earlier session because every edit is immediately recorded and saved in the catalog database and the old edits are reapplied to the image preview every time it is opened

Customize default user settings for new RemoteApp logins

Hi all,
I'm poking around with RemoteApp on Windows 2012 R2 and have it set up to use a centralized file share for the user profiles and everything seems to be working ok. Is there a way for me to customize some of the options in a user's profile for the first time
that they fire up a RemoteApp? Is it like a physical desktop where the hidden "c:\Users\Default" profile gets copied into the new user profile? I know once a user saves settings in a RemoteApp (browser bookmarks, default program options, etc....)
it gets saved in their profile on the central file server but I'd like to save them as much time as I can by giving them a precustomized profile.
Thanks

Macbook Battery Problem - Aperture Image Settings Lost?

Having returned from a holiday in Asia, I showed my family the photo's taken while there and displayed them on my Macbook in Aperture full screen.
Rather strangely the battery shut down after a couple of minutes viewing (from circa 66% charge), and when I plugged the power adapter in to charge the computer it had lost most of its application user settings - and Aperture had lost all of my image settings (it went about recovering the library photo's).
Now I'm left with a few thousand RAW photo's which are uncropped, unrotated, ... etc.
Is there any way I can recover this information, or do I have a few days work ahead of me?
I'm not bothered about the other app's (it lost my NewsFire feeds, iTunes listings etc), but I'd prefer to not have to spend hours needlessly working on my photo's again.

Thanks for your help :o)
The ironic thing is that I'd wanted to backup my library to my main computer before showing my family, but they were in a rush to see the photo's.
When I booted the computer back up (having to do a hard restart due to the screen staying black with only a moveable cursor visible) Aperture started up with the optional welcome screen I always have turned off. When I proceeded through to the library no images were present, but Aperture then automatically set about finding and retrieving the projects/images.
15 mins later, all projects now present, the images were all as they had been when I imported them from the camera (with no adjustments), aside from one thing - my camera (Canon 5D) automatically rotates portrait images. When I import the images into Aperture direct from the memory card the images are always auto-rotated, but now they have reverted back to all being landscape.

Last image settings for auto apply adjustments?

We're testing the watched folder setup for LR3 and it seems to work fairly well. One very big snag we've come across though is with using auto apply adjustments and the apparent lack of a 'use previous image settings' option.
We're using DSLR Remote Capture for the live preview functionality using a 7D and have LR set up to watch the Lightroom folder setup by DSLR Remote Catpure. It would be fantastic if LR would automatically apply the last settings used to the new image file that pops up in the watched folder. The flow and flexibility this would allow for would be ideal.
Did I miss this setting somewhere or does anyone know of an easy workaround? I'd really prefer not to have to save custom presets everytime which is the only workaround I've put into practice so far. It's a clunky way of doing things and really racks up a whole bunch of presets that are only really relevant to a single shoot.

Lightroom doesn't support Liveview on the Canon's (7D in this case) and many studios and photographers need to use Liveview while working. This means that tethering directly in to Lightroom is a no-go since Liveview isn't an option.
The solution to date is to shoot using the Canon software or OnOne's Remote Capture to a target folder on the computer.
understood.
Lightroom can be told to watch the folder and import the files as they become available, however LR moves the files and the capture apps are no longer able to see them.
Why does the capture app (i.e. EOS Utility) still need to be seeing them?
Re. the 'last settings used'...
Let's say you're tethered to an app that is not LR for capture purposes and you're having LR automatically import the captures. The ideal workflow would be to have LR leave the files in their original location as it can do when not using the watched folder. When the photographer is on set and captures are coming into LR, they typically will tweek things like colour temp, levels, curves, vignette, etc. in LR. Each time the photographer takes a new capture, they're forced to copy paste the settings used for the previous capture. This is extremely annoying and cumbersome. While lightroom can apply presets to incoming images, it has not allowed for the option to use the last settings from the last imported capture. Currently we either have to copy/paste settings or save the current settings as a preset and have them applied as new captures come into LR. Given that we're often tweeking the lighting, focus, etc. each shot, or short series of shots, is often different and applying the custom preset still requires further tweeking in LR. If everything is aok (lighting, focus, composition, etc.) and we're simply capturing for variations of the subject or talent, it would be incredibly fantastic if LR would simply apply the settings used from the last capture. I should note that no other raw software out there right now can do this either (C1 Pro for example).
OK, I can see what you mean now. So more specifically, the setting you'd like to see copied to a new capture is the one from the last imported photo.
An easy workaround I can suggest is to
have a named preset called "Last Image"
always have this preset applied during import
update the preset values of "Last Image" every time you adjust something on an image
By doing so, you don't have to manage preset names for different purposes, "Last Image" just contains all the settings from whenever you last chose to update it.

Nokia N8 Image Settings

Hi All
Can anyone help me understand why there are multiple camera options provided under Image Settings in Nokia N8? When you go to Image Settings, you will see an option "Capture Tone" with "Camera 1" as default. There are 4 options available here to choose from. So if anyone has any details about it, can you please help me understand?
Thanks,

This is nothing to do with your photos, it just refers to the sound that is played when you take a photo.

How to set the default boot kernel in /etc/default/grub or /etc/grub.d

and without messing with /boot/grub/grub.cfg ?
I need this so that new kernels show up but do not change the default boot kernel
Is there a way to do it by file name instead of position within the menuentry / submenu list?
I found some ubuntu and fedora sugestions but all by position, none by name
AND how to set the kdump kernel as the default?
Arch is putting this kernel under a submenu - would this pose problems for setting it as the default?

In /etc/default/grub you can use the name of your entry you wish to use as default
GRUB_DEFAULT='Arch Linux, with Linux core repo kernel'
You can tell grub to stop using submenus by doing:
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=y
Or you can just make a purely custom menuentry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom if you'd like:
menuentry "Other Linux" {
linux <KERNEL IMAGE HERE>
initrd <INITRD IMAGE HERE>
EDIT: /etc/grub/default -> /etc/default/grub

Default images zoom in Mountain Lion Preview - how to change

Hi,
I need to preview alot of images in my work. In previous system I would use Preview with zoom images to 100%. Now this option is gone in preferences. Since the images I preview are ewbsites designs, any other zoom then 100% is useless to me.
I know that I can open an image, push Cmd+0, click on the green + dot, and then scroll up (because after zooming to 100% the image is centered on the screen). But I open images about 100 times a day - so to me that situation is Usability disaster.
So my question is: is there a way I can set Preview default image viewing settings to:
- pixel to pixel zoom (100%)
- aligned to top
- opened in window of maximum size on the screen
I will go to church, kneel and pray for you, stranger sage...
Cheers

Dear wjosten,
1) I have the same problem as Dergler: I can not set the availability status in Messages (ML, v7.0). The settings and also support documents tell that one should be able to set the status in the Menue bar, without mentioning that an active iCloud account in not sufficient.
2) Also, the Access to "Edit status menue" (and default status messages) is only possible when the activity report tool is displayed in the lower-left corner of the Messages window. With ONLY an iCloud account active this tool is not displayed.
You correctly tell that the activity report tool and also access to availability settings is possible when the Bonjour account is set to "Enable Bonjour instant messaging".
HOWEVER:
I do not want to become visible in my university network, I only want to use Messages (and iMessages on iOS) to communicate with other people that have iPads or iPhones. Are the availability settings not used over iCloud? Why then the setting "Use the same setting for all accounts"?
Is this intended, or is it a bug??
