Feature Request - Storyboard import and Audio Notations

Ability to import and associate sotryboards for scene breakdown. Would be nice to import various graphic formats or even audio notations about the scene to help convey thoughts during collaboration.
Nice preview release. Headed in the right direction.

HI,
there are some features that could be very usefull :
-Time code counter : would estimate the length of written part, and add this duration in a "counter." hh:mn:ss;fr"
of course in 25, 24,and 29fps and the option to set the initial TC.
-Exporting sound track with various synthesis voices, in the most common audio files .aiff .wav .mp3
-Exporting XML timelines to NLE systems ; it would allow the whole team to start working.
Motion graphic designers, music composers, sound editors, could better figure out what the film will be.
The xml file would have audio files associated. (ie voice over would help a 3D team to sync their animations)
-Perfect interoperability with MSWord and Excel
-a "colors/category" column, user-defined with a sign counter. Would allow to figure out how much "stock shot" / "CGI" / "Robert de Niro" / "underwater"
is required.
-all commands should be assignable to keys by the user (Final Cut Pro does that very well)
-avoid F1, F2... etc as more and more people use portable computers.
-User defined workspaces : something very light with no disturbing figures or menus for a fluid writing, and something more complete for reviewing periods with statistics, exports etc etc etc

Feature Requests: "Last Import" shortcut / Last visited collections in "New Coll." dialog

i think this isn't not only my personal workflow and others would be happy about this minor improvements:
1. after an import of photos from the memory card i'm usually separate them into several new collections. after naming them i'm pointing to an existing collection set.
here i always need to scroll around in the pulldown menu of the new collection dialog to find the desired set. this menu is growing longer and longer with my nearly 100k photos.
it would be extremely nice to have displayed here some, let's say, top 5 or 10 collection sets i've visited to get quickly to a set where to drop the new collection.
such kind of history is already availabe in the left hand pulldown menu above the film strip. so it shouldn't be difficult to integrate this in the new collection dialog.
additionally a structured menu would be better there than the current view with all collection sets folded out.
additionally think about the mac-like navigation through folders in the finder with the cursor keys: up/down to move in the set structure, right to go into a set, left to move one level up.
2. after having dropped a new collection into a set i usually need to go back to the last import section of the library to continue my work. this is possible only by clicking in the catalog panel or by choosing last import from the left hand pulldown menu above the film strip. here a keyboard shortcut would be a huge time saver.

You've got some nice ideas there. As they may not make the final release, and this forum will be closed down once the beta is over, might I suggest adding it as a suggestion on the Feature Request forum http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family where it can easily be tracked? If you post the link to your request here, others can also vote on your request.

IMovie Problems: Photo import and audio-video out of sync.

Photo import problem:
Some times, I have problems importing photos onto my new project, the photos will appear to be that just one same photo when played. It does not transit to the other photos following the first, it's just stuck on the first. Is this just an issue with iMovie '11? Are there any other ways to resolve this problem?
Audio-video out of sync:
I've checked some other discussions but I'd like to raise this issue again for APPLE. There are problems exporting my 7-minute film - the video and audio go completely out of sync no matter what format I export it to. There are not a lot of clips used. I'm now trying the method to detach the audio files from the video, hopefully it works.
These issues are bothering me, in addition to a failed firmware update on Mac OSX 10.7.2 a few weeks ago. I couldn't open my computer and I had to go to the Genius Bar to have them help me backup my files on my computer and reinstall the whole system again. Anyways, any help to the above iMovie issues are greatly appreciated. Just wish that Apple will address these current issues and not just focus on improving their products with awesome features ._.

Feature Request: Photo Borders and Copying in Books

These are a few related feature requests. If anyone knows of a better way to do this with the current software, then I would love to hear it.
When making books I like to have borders around the pictures of various colors (usually black or white) and various widths. In Apeture this is a pain to do. I fiqured out that I could fake it by making a picture box and inserting a solid black picture into it and then creating a smaller picture box in front of it for my real photo. This might be tolerable if I could at least then select both picture boxes and their contents to copy and then onto other pages as a template that I can resize as needed.
Ideally I would love to be able to copy and paste multiple elements on a book page and I would like to be able to define photo borders. Any chance of seeing this in the near future?
Thanks,
Sean

Thanks for the reply. You are right, the cut and paste works fine, it just didn't work the way I expected it to. Maybe that is a GUI design thing to consider. I was actually trying to click and drag a selection box like you might do in iPhoto to select multiple images that are right beside each other. This doesn't work at all in Aperture, but your method does work just fine.
I agree with the other poster that some additional features like:
Photo Borders
Export to PSD (with layers)
Custom page sizes and Custom themes
would be very nice and start to make that tool truley useful.
Thanks for a really nice product. Keep up the good work and stay ahead of the pack.

Nokia 808 Pureview feature request for Phone and C...

Hi,
Where would be the best venue to make feature requests for the 808 functions? These are some nice-to-have ideas that I would like to propose, which would increase its awesomeness:
- in video mode, add a "lock exposure" setting so that the 808 doesn't continuously adjust exposure after recording starts. this would be equivalent to setting the exposure to manual on a regular videocam.
- in photo creative mode, add a voice-activated self-timer, where it would take a shot when sound reaches a certain threshold. this is similar to what the Shout 'n Snap app does for the android.
- in phone calls, add an option to use proximity sensing, so that when you take the phone away from your ear, the handset automatically switches to speaker phone, or vice versa. this would be equivalent to the Phone Speakers Switcher on the N900.
Thanks

i'd like to make an addendum to my request and change it to "lock exposure and white balance".
i just found that while shooting, it does not keep the white balance setting throughout. for example, select "tungsten" and the video will start with this, but later it adjusts as if it was under "auto" white balance setting for the rest of the video.

Where do I make a feature request for tethering and A2DP

I would very much like to switch from Windows Mobile to an iPhone but:
1. It does not support tethering which is very useful for emergency situations that require internet for work on my laptop while travelling
2. It does not support A2DP which I think is a great innovation for music listening.
I understand that feature requests cannot be made on this forum, so could somebody please tell me where I can officially voice these requests to Apple?
Thanks,
Scott

In the US, it's unlikely that ATT will allow tethering without an additional tethering plan.
2. It does not support A2DP which I think is a great innovation for music listening.
There is an adapter you can buy if you want to use stereo bt headphones.

Feature request: record calls and messages on iPhone

I'm trying to generate interest for some features I think should be introduced. What do you think of this one...
The iPhone should be able to record calls and messages to save as an audio file on your computer. Aside from providing the ability to keep a personal archive of important or meaningful calls and messages, this introduces another revolutionary new feature:
Imagine if every call you made on your phone was recorded automatically, so you could review what someone said even after hanging up the phone. Each call could be saved in a temporary location, and recordings could be saved permanently by clicking "Save" on the corresponding entry in the call log. This way, you wouldn't ever have to worry about forgetting what someone said, and you can forever save the memorable phone calls that impact your life. This feature would also be extremely useful for recording phone interviews for later review and transcription.
This feature would likely be relatively easy to adopt, and would certainly be a revolutionary addition to a revolutionary device.

Thanks, I already did give Apple feedback though. I was just posting it here to try to generate some more support for the idea. I'm new to the forum, so I'm not sure if this is an appropriate type of thing to post, so please let me know if it's generally not appreciated to put feature suggestions up for discussion.

Lightroom 1.0; request minimal importing and placeholders for incompatible files

It's distressing to find out the Lightroom 1.0 still insists that PSD files be saved with maximize compatibility, at the expense of a huge increase in file size, simply to have it be shown among the files an imported folder. While I have no need for every image file type to be editable in LR directly, I'd at least like to know where it is among other related files in the imported folder. Bridge shows every file in a folder regardless of whether it's an image file or it's compatible with previewing or editing.
So what I'd like is an option when importing files (perhaps by reference in the existing location if that's an issue) to allow incompatible file types to be imported anyway and show with an icon placeholder. This is just a common sense feature since the reason, frequently, why people save PSD files without "maximize compatibility" is to minimize file size and time to save the file. Such a placeholder file should then be editable only using a designated external application.

Feature Request: Proofbooks - Watermarks and Printing to Postscript

When creating proofbooks to be distributed either printed or electronically to clients, it is important to be able to easily print a version of the book with watermarks on all the photographs. This makes it easy and safe to send clients proofs of a book to examine before printing.
It would be nice if I could "print to proof pdf" or something similar from Aperture. PDFs created by Distiller from Postscipt are MUCH smaller then the ones generated by Aperture and other programs. a 51+ MB PDF is fine for the publishing house, but is impossibly large to email to a client for proofing. Another option would be to at least expose the normal "print pdf to postscript" like the normal print dialog does when you have things like Acrobat Distiller installed, so those of us who do have Distiller can make use of it for things like this.
If there are any workarounds people know for these two situations in the meantime I would love to hear about them.
Thank you for a great product.
Sean

I di dcome up with a workaround for this issue, although it requires Adobe Acrobat and Distiller. I printed a PDF with Apeture that was 54 MB in size. I opened it in Acrobat and used it's watermark feature to quickly watermark each page (not pretty but effective). I then used the "Save PDF as Postscript" to create a large PS file of the PDF (69 MB). I then started Distller with the "Smallest File Size" output settings selected and processed the Postscript file into a nice and small PDF proof version of my book with watermarks. This final proof version was only 1.5 MB and looked just great on the screen.
Hope this helps others.

Feature Request: KML import

I just recently discovered how to download saved Google Maps[1]. A number of my friends use it, and several of the conferences I go to have a ton of local data in it. However, when I travel, I don't always have an always-on data connection (especially when going to a different country).
It would be super awesome if we could import KML files into Ovi Maps. I think the holy grail would be if the original KML file could still be synced from the master URL, for any updates after the installation.
[1] Click "View in Google Earth", that gives you a KML file. This downloads a master KML file that simply describes the map and has a URL. Download and load the URL contained in it, and it includes the description, type and gps coordinates for each location.

This function is very important. Please, Add "Import KML" function in a Nokia HERE.

Feature request -- "seamless tones and colors" to content aware move tool

The Content Aware Move Tool works pretty doggone well, except that differences in brightness or tones in the selection's new position frequently fail to match. For instance, moving a bird from near the top of the frame, where the sky is lighter blue, to nearer the horizon in the middle of the frame, where the sky is deeper blue, reveals a huge difference in the sky color. In the past, I would put the selection on a new layer, clone out the bird's original location, then use the Auto Blend Layers>stack images>seamless tones and colors to match things up.
Is there any way of integrating that "seamless tones and colors" into the new move tool? Or, barring that, have some way of selecting "move to new layer" when using the Content Aware Move Tool, so that after the move, one could merge the layers using the Auto Blend function?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Thanks for the feedback. We will evaluate the customer feedback and consider some of the requests for a future version of Photoshop. I agree with Pierre that posting your request to the feedback link may allow it to be heard better as this is primarily a forum for problems with the Photoshop CS6 beta.

Feature Request: Selective Backup and Restore

I know this is a board that apple doesn't answer questions to and blah blah blah but let's not kid ourselves that they don't monitor everything that goes on here; now thats out of the way.
Something that would be really useful would be selective backup/restore. Cuz i'm sure there are times when you what to restore only a specfic app and nothing else, or your messages.
Also if you're cleaning up your device and you accidently delete the wrong app; you will lose all that data with that app but inorder to restore that app and data you have to restore to a pervious backup and go through the process of re-deleting those apps.
Or if you want to restore your apps/data but have your settings start from scratch.
I don't know, I think this type of backup/restore feature could be very useful to alot of people...does any1 else agree?

You face 2 problems: The first is that polls are forbidden by the terms of use of the forum. The second is this:
Unsolicited Idea Submission Policy
Apple, as with many other companies, do not want outsiders to suggest ideas, because if the company implements the idea they can later be sued for copyright violation or, in the worst case, patent infringement.

Feature request: Heading Tags and Paragraph Tags for Text element

Sugestion: Would like to see Reflow be able to format text element with heading tags like <h1> and paragraph tag <p>.

Thanks! Style management and reusable styles are a HUGE feature set coming to Reflow...won't be there immediately but very soon. Thanks for the input.

FEATURE REQUESTS: Border Panel and Transparency slider for bg color

Some points:
1) "Color" by itself is a dubious panel name. Color of what? Please use the existing CSS property names wherever possible, and separate out background color and border color.
2) Transparency sliders need to be enabled for all color pickers everywhere in the UI. RGBA everywhere, always. No hex colors, ever, please. There's just no reason anymore.
2) Border sides need to be separately tweenable in the UI. I've posted about this before. Here's a bit more detail: Use a 1-to-4 toggle button at the top of the Borders Panel to go back and forth between a simplified and a four-separate-borders interface. Something similar to what you've done in the Corners Panel. I've mocked up the panel UI below.
4) Hire me as junior interface designer on this program.

@Sarah:
You're right about selecting opacity in the color picker. That's probably cleaner. But it doesn't bother me in the slightest that a border with an alpha is rendered over the background-color. That's CSS. (Just use a bg color of "none" if that's what you need.)
In response:
1) Please don't use CSS "outline" for any heavy lifting in Edge. The interoperability problems are currently massive. For one thing, Firefox draws outlines outside of any box-shadow, contrary to the spec. This bug has festered for three years now, and shows no sign of ever being fixed:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480888
The other big limitation is that outline edges are always square, and can't be rounded. To create what you're calling an "external" border just use a box shadow with no blur. This is a standard practice, and renders well. Whatever you do, please don't make a panel called "borders" that actually creates box-shadows. The answer is education and evangelism, not mislabelling things.
2) Borders don't change the external dimensions of an element if you use border-box globally. Positioning doesn't get the least bit "out of whack." There shouldn't be any trepidation there. This is probably how Edge should work across the board, for all elements, especially if the math of box-sizing is getting you and your engineering team down For folks who aren't hip to this yet, see this fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/tUVM7/
and this explanation of the property:
http://paulirish.com/2012/box-sizing-border-box-ftw/
Borders and Box-shadow panels need to be in the "frontlog", not the backlog.

Feature request on iphone and ipad

Hi
I use to work with 3d models and I'm wondering if the interactive 3d tool that is already available for PC will be available on iphone and ipad, it will be very useful to me to show my clients all my products on 3d.
Thanks in advance

Hi whagemann,
We do support viewing of 3d models from Adobe Reader using apps like Hoops Viewer. You just need to install Hoops Viewer https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hoops-viewer/id457991468?mt=8 on your device and then you can do a "Open In" by selecting the 3d model in the PDF in Adobe Reader, which will provide you an option to view that model.
Thanks,
