File Compression Questions/Help Needed

Question, I have just completed an audio presentation project (audio book on CD) for a client (681 mgs) which I now need to have replicated 1500 times over. The problem is my outsourced replicator will only press cd's up to 650 mgs. Therefore, I need to figure out how to compress the presentation just slightly (as to not lose tone quality) to get in onto the disc. (The CD Rom will be played in the car or computer Cd players)
I used the Soundtrack 1.2 to complete the project and also have Quicktime pro, however, I'm not sure what to do and how to change the settings to get the compression correct.
Thanks

Is it something you can simply save as an .aif file, then import it into iTunes and then compress it to mp3 at, say, 256 Kbps? That's pretty good... but if you're looking for better... perhaps an mp2? Not easy to find an mpeg1 layer 2 compression utility, but I use Sound Converter:

File control question -help needed

hi all the experts
when using a file control, how can i change a file extension on the run after
writing data to a file which was specified in control property? can this file

About Java 2 opaque font color question, help needed!

About Java 2 opaque font color question, help needed!
I was trying to test opaque font (the string has a foreground color and a background color), but i can't find the method for doing that.
i can change foreground by Graphics2D.setPaint(Color.black).
Anybody know how to change the background of the string?
Thanks!

Hi. The way I'd do it would be to use the font metrics to find the length of a string and draw a rectangle and then drawstring over the rectangle. If you want an example, I can post it although I suspect theres a better way.

File compression question

Question about using the file compression feature within Finder. I understand that when I select multiple files and compress them, it creates a ZIP file with the default name 'archive.zip.' I created a working folder on my desktop and put in about 16 alias of photos that are down in my iPhoto 'originals' folder. When I created the archive.zip, file it was only 2.1 MB (the jpg's varied in size from <1 MB to 3 MB).
I did this with the presumption that by using aliases in my working folder, the compression utility actually compressed the jpg's in the various folders but not the alias pointers.
So, since the archive.zip is only 2.1 MB, what conclusion can I draw? Can the compression really squeeze them down that much?

that's wrong. the compression utility compressed the aliases as it should have. if you want to compress the original images that's what you need to put in that folder, not aliases. but keep in mind that jpegs are already compressed so you'll hardly gain any space by compressing them further.
So, since the archive.zip is only 2.1 MB, what conclusion can I draw? Can the compression really squeeze them down that much?

Adobe Lightroom 4 - Some Questions / Help Needed

Hi everyone.
After advice from several experts, I've just purchased Adobe Lightroom 4. I've already got Photoshop CS5, but I was looking for something proper to organise my photos, plus I found Lightroom easier to do the sort of editing I am wanting to do. Now, I only really use photoshop for things like colour pops, or really in-depth editing. Anyway, I'm loving Lightroom so far, but there is some stuff I'm not very sure of, so I'd appreciate some help
1. Organising
Firstly, I'm not really sure how to organise. At the moment, I've just got lots of folders with random events in My Pictures on W7, so I might have a folder called April 11, which contains photos from that month but that might have been a wedding or an easter holiday or both. So it doesn't really work. \
I understand in Lightroom what catalogs are. But I know enough to know that I don't want to group mine into those, its getting too complicated. What I don't know though is the difference between a collection and a folder. Basically, I'm wanting to reimport and reorganise all my photos, so I want to put them into "events" as such like you can do on iPhoto on a mac, so I would have "France Summer Holiday 11" for example, or "Mia's Wedding". I'm not really sure on the best way to do this ...?
2. Editing
I've played around quite a bit so far, and I really like what I've seen. On a lot of photos, I've made a lot of changes. But from what I can see, these changes are stored merely in Lightroom itself. For example, at the moment I'm importing photos from my external disk into Lightroom, which then saves them in C://My Pictures/Lightroom/Pictures . When I go look at these photos in windows explorer which I know I have edited, it doesn't show any of the changes or editing I've done on them. Now I realise this is me being stupid, but why doesn't it? Supposing I then want to email that photo to a friend that I have edited? How would I do that? I don't want to have to open lightroom and export every single photo I edit? There must be a simpler way?
Likewise for backing up, because all my files are in subfolders within C:// My pictures / Lightroom / Pictures, to back up I was simply going to set up windows to copy that latter folder onto my external HDD everytime I plugged it in. This would be pointless however if it isn't physically overwriting the original photo with my edited version?
3. Editing 2
Something else I like to do is make lots of different edits to the same photo. For example, at the moment I'm editing a photo of a pier at night. I spent ages adjusting colours and lighting and so on, and now it looks great. But I would also like to save a copy of that photo with the "old age photo" effect preset on. Is this possible? and how do I do it? Other than obviously importing a duplicate?
4. & 5. & 6 - Misc:
4. Simple question - how do I add tags, keywords or comments if I haven't done it on import?
5. My camera doesn't have built in GPS. Is it possible for me to manually geotag photos (in a batch, say for a Summer Holiday to NY), could I manually add a geotag for all these photos?
6. I also forgot to add copyright information on import for some, is it possible to do this after import and how?
7. I normally shoot in JPEG. I probably shoot shoot in RAW as everyone tells me to do so. Are there any significant advantages in terms of quality, and for editing with?
Thanks for any help given. I appreciate this is a lot of questions, but I could really use the advice.

Hi William,

I am not so sure if you understand *catalogs*.
You need a catalog, exactly 1 in my opinion. A catalog is a database. The Lightroom database, where records about your images are stored, including the pointers to your images, which are not inside a catalog! LR backups just does the backup of the catalog (i.e. a file ending .lrcat). You need to take care separately that your real images are backed up !
Inside your LR database the best way to organize is via collections - this will give you what you want with "France summer holiday 11" etc.
Folders are relatively unimportant, just storage buckets. They should be *handy portions*, I would prefer them with below 3000 images each, as there currently some bugs to those bigger ones.
Before you start with LR, you can organize your pictures in Mac Finder / WindowsExplorer.
Or you could do it with the help of LR, by copying your images over during import into the destination folders (and deleting today's folders afterwards after having verified that everything is fine).
A simple date-based structure will do, I'd recommend a root parent folder like "LR images", underneath one folder per year (\2010\, \2011\, \2012\...) and underneath them either
just one folder per month (LR can auto-create them for you)
or you create the folders in import dialog as e.g. "YYYY-MM-DD description of shoot", to have a mini-diary overview also in your OS.
Apart from that you create collections, either *dumb ones*, where you drag images into, or smart ones, where you specify criteria according to which they get auto-filled.
2. Editing
I've played around quite a bit so far, and I really like what I've seen. On a lot of photos, I've made a lot of changes. But from what I can see, these changes are stored merely in Lightroom itself. For example, at the moment I'm importing photos from my external disk into Lightroom, which then saves them in C://My Pictures/Lightroom/Pictures .

This would be pointless however if it isn't physically overwriting the original photo with my edited version?
LR will never overwrite your original photos.
You can save most of the catalog content into the xmp-part of the original photo, which is either a sidecar-file (.xmp) or part of the file format, like for DNG, TIFF, PSD, JPG. To do so you select the image in LR and hit <ctrl> s. Or you set it up for continuous update, which creates a lot of operations while you play back and forth in develop.
I do that on my own, typically twice per file: once I am done with develop, once I am done with keywording and other metadata update.
LR contains records about your images, i.e. a set of instructions how they are to be interpreted. That is all.
So of course you need LR to export the result of these instructions, which is actually pretty quick.
To backup your images you need to do that just once, plus you backup your LR catalog. Or if you save xmp to the files, you can do another backup once xmp is ready.
I would not consider this pointless. You just have to think that there are 2 places with data for your images: the images themselves and a database with interpretation instructions.
3. Editing 2
Something else I like to do is make lots of different edits to the same photo. For example, at the moment I'm editing a photo of a pier at night. I spent ages adjusting colours and lighting and so on, and now it looks great. But I would also like to save a copy of that photo with the "old age photo" effect preset on. Is this possible? and how do I do it? Other than obviously importing a duplicate?
Yes, this is one of LR's beauties: you create a so-called *virtual copy*, which is just a 2nd record for the same original image file with different interpretation settings, like black-and-white, a different crop size, different development etc. You can have as many virtual copies as you like, and you'll see them as additional thumbnails.
Virtual copies are not saveable into xmp, though. There is another concept which is saveable into xmp: snapshots. but these are different states in develop history, and you do not see outside develop module that you have several.
If you export virtual copies e.g. to jpg one file per virutal copy will be created.
4. & 5. & 6 - Misc:
4. Simple question - how do I add tags, keywords or comments if I haven't done it on import?
5. My camera doesn't have built in GPS. Is it possible for me to manually geotag photos (in a batch, say for a Summer Holiday to NY), could I manually add a geotag for all these photos?
6. I also forgot to add copyright information on import for some, is it possible to do this after import and how?
7. I normally shoot in JPEG. I probably shoot shoot in RAW as everyone tells me to do so. Are there any significant advantages in terms of quality, and for editing with?
Thanks for any help given. I appreciate this is a lot of questions, but I could really use the advice.
ad 4: you use the library module, metadata panel to enter.
ad 5: you use the map module. Either you manually drop your images on a map, or you have a separate GPS track to load and have LR assign via matching time-stamps.
ad 6: like 4
ad 7: You don't need JPG from your camera, you can achieve better results viy LR from RAW. Yes, there are significant advantages as to editing headroom.
Overall, may I suggest my favorite learning material for LR? First watch Julieanne's Tutorial Videos.
Then go play and use Victoria Bampton's eBook or paper copy of her "Missing FAQs to LR4": http://www.lightroomqueen.com/books/adobe-lightroom-4-missing-faq/
Have fun,

Finder Files/Folder arrangements: Help Needed!

Hi,
I'm relatively new to Mac and I would like to know how you can set Finder to automatically view all files / folders in order of name? without having to change the view of each individual folder
Any help would be appreciated!
Regards,
Ollie

I think I can answer your question. I just upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard and encountered a similar problem. I think I've found a solution.
After upgrading to Snow Leopard, I noticed that when I used "Icon View" in Finder (which is how I've always used Finder), the icons were completely scrambled and were dispersed randomly all over the window, like a deck of cards strewn on the floor. Some icons were even overlapping other icons. The solution I finally found was to open a finder window, then navigate to any folder in my user account, then right click in a blank area inside the window, then select "Show View Options" from the dropdown menu. This brings up a small preferences pane. Then go to the "Arrange By" dropdown menu in the pane. Then select "Name" from that menu. Then click on the "Use as Defaults" button at the bottom of the pane. Then close the pane. That seemed to work for finder windows. For the Desktop, I got the same results by right-clicking on an empty space on the Desktop and following the same procedure, except that you won't need to click the "Use as Defaults" button at the bottom of the preferences pane for the Desktop, because there is no such button. These simple steps seemed to do the trick. If you have multiple user accounts on your Mac, you may need to repeat these steps for each user account.
Incidentally, I should mention that before I discovered this solution I called AppleCare support and they told me the only thing I could do was to navigate to each individual folder on my Mac and right-click inside the Finder window for that folder and select "Arrange by Name". The guy who was helping me talked to someone above him in the AppleCare hierarchy who said exactly the same thing. Both of these people said that there was no way to universally change the Finder settings for icon arrangement. They said I had to do it folder-by-folder, for all the thousands of folders on my Mac. I was ready to revert to Leopard, but decided to experiment for a few minutes to see whether I could find a solution. That's how I came up with the solution outlined above.

Beginner Question - Help Needed for EJB QL Sample Application

I'm working with a group of student interns, like myself, and we've been given an assignment to work with Oracle. All of us have no training or experience with this, so we're just learning as we go.
I've been trying to run the EJB QL Sample Application (http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/ejb_corba/ejbql/Install.html), but I keep running into problems at step 3.
Now, we will deploy the sample application onto OC4J. Open another command prompt and go to the folder <OC4J_HOME>/j2ee/home and run the following commands one-by-one
> java -jar admin.jar ormi://<machine_name>:<admin_port> admin <admin_pwd> -deploy -file <SAMPLE_HOME>/build/ejbql.ear -deploymentName Ejbql
> java -jar admin.jar ormi://<machine_name>:<admin_port> admin <admin_pwd> -bindWebApp Ejbql ejbql-war http-web-site /ejbql
where,
<machine_name>      Name of the machine where OC4J Server is running
<admin_port>      Admin Port on which the OC4J server listens. This value by default is 23791 unless explicitly changed by the user
<admin_pwd>      Adminstrator password to access OC4J. The default value is welcome
When I do this step I get this error:

George,
The Readme.html file is available with the ejbqlsample.jar downloadable (Extract and find the doc in Ejbql\docs\Readme.html) which is printable.
Or,
If you are trying to print the file directly from OTN site, you need to set the Page-Setup Orientation to 'Landscape'.
Hope this helps.

Stupid Java Question (Help Needed!!!)

I have a piece of Java Code that dynamically builds a SQL statement (including VARCHAR2 columns). Oracle gives an error if my string has a single quote in it. I need to replace each single quote with two single quotes in Java, i.e. I need a Java equivalent of PL/SQL REPLACE function.
Java str.replace only replaces an individual character (see below).
String l_str = "O'Hara";
String l_str2 = l_str.replace('\'', '\'');
I need to replace "O'Hara" with "O''Hara". Any help is appreciated

Few Questions (Help Needed)

Hi,
I had few questions regarding captivate 4. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it:
1) I created an eLearning project and it has some quiz sildes in them. So how do I collect the scores of the users who will go though that eLearning? ( I googled it but in most of the webpages they say just put a tick on report answers and also in the preferences enable reporting for this project) I tried using that but can`t see how to fetch the score for each users.
2) In the same eLearning I want to get feedback from the users who watch the eLearning. So basically I want a slide in which users can type in their feedback and then when they hit the submit button that feedback should be sent to a specific email. ( For this I tried using text box entry but all the text we enter in that comes in one line, we can`t press enter to change lines, also in the button I assign it to send an email to my lotus notes email id, but when I preview the project and click the button, it opens my lotus notes and it does not fetches what I have entered in the text box)

bsampieri, issue is in display of the file name in

Just 2 things in my test:
1) I use no accept attribute. Coldfusion is then free to upload any extenstion.
Restricting the type to application/octet-stream may generate errors. Also, it is unnecessary, because we perform a type check anyway.
2) I have used #ExpandPath('.')#\ in place of #ExpandPath('\')#
<cfif isdefined("form.filedata")>
<cftry>

OAF page customization question - help needed urgently!

Hi,
To minimize customizations on an OAF page we are trying to handle some validations at the databse layer using a db trigger. The flow is that when the user hits Save on an OAF page and a certain column in a table is updated by the EO, a db trigger set on this column will fire off. Based upon whether the validation went through or not the db trigger might fail
with an error message. Question is will this message be displayed on the UI without any customizations so that the user knows what happened or will the OAF page just throw a null pointer exception? Also since OAF is writing directly to DB using an EO, will it be too late by the time the trigger kicks in and validates stuff and then based on if there was an error it rollsback the data? Can we rollback the entire transaction or not?
Please help!

Adding to Mukul's reply, yes if you are using OAF, let all the control be through the OAF. In your case any error in the DB will be sent back to the user in a very raw way which surely will annoy any user. Also we cann't comment on the rollback status.
My suggestion is to make use of a callable statement and call a wrapper pl/sql procedure which does all the validations for you (in case you have varied and complex validations) and returns a true or false based on which you can commit the transaction.
