Filter by Flag and Stacks

In my lightroom library, I have multiple stacks of shots that are similar. I also use the Pick and Reject flags with the individual photos in each of these stacks, and I like to make use of filtering by pick for developing. However it seems that a stack will only appear if the top image in the stack is flagged as a pick when I filter by flag. Is this a bug or an intentional design feature?

It's intentional. A stack hides the images below the top image from being found. This is how I expected it to work, but others have reported it as a bug so my expectations were not universal. To me, this is pretty much the whole point of a stack, but others use them differently.

LR2: Edit in Photoshop and Stack

Hi
Just updated to LR2. One annoyance: when I edit in Photoshop CS3 and save, the image goes back into the lightroom catalog without the pick/reject flag.
Normally, I filter by 'pick' - and the new version doesn't appear. To get it I have to go back into the Library, find it in the stack, move it to the top and pick it. Seems a very slow process. LR1.0 did not do this! Any ideas??
Thanks
Peter

I see the same issue and it is an annoyance. The PSD should adopt the same flag status as the mother RAW -- so that we can see them without changing our filters.
Did it work this way in earlier versions?

Ratings and Stacks

I have read many of the past messages on stacks and the inability to apply changes/ratings to all images within a stack at the same time. Let me explain what I'm doing and why this is frustrating.
In many of my shoots I'm bracketing every shot. I take the images into LR and stack my brackets. I may end up with 100 or more stacks, each with (3) images. I now want to do a quick rating and go through the stacks giving a 1-star to those I want to process further. I do a 1-star filter and now want to go into the stacks to pick the best of the three. Can't do it because LR won't apply the rating to all the images in the stack so the filter leaves behind the hidden stacked images. What a pain. Please give me the option to apply the rating to all the images in a stack something like holding the option key when applying the rating.

There seems to be a glitch with Stacks and Smart
Albums. If I base a smart album on a set of
parameters and the photo is not the select of a stack
it does not get selected for the smart album. For
example if I make a select based on a client then
choose later to make a 5 star rating out of the stack
that is not the select it will not appear in the 5
star library smart folder until I break the stack.
So I have to go back to the original stack and break
it to allow the search to work. Does anyone know
how to fix this?
In the parameters for the smart album you need to check "Ignore Stack Groupings".
Be aware of an interesting issue you may run into later around this. If you drag a set of images out of a smart album that ignores groupings into a "normal" album that holds images, you will only see images that are also stack picks show up in the destination album. I have lobbied via feedback for Aperture to always make an image drug into an album from a smart album the "Album Pick" for that album to eliminate that exact problem.
Another odd behavior of smart albums you may find useful is that whatever level you define a smart album at is the level it always searches, no matter where you move it after. So you can make a top-level smart album doing a search across many folders and projects, and keep it neatly stored under a different top level folder where if you had tried to put the smart album to start with it would not see images.

A bug with flags and active view? Or is it a (bad) feature?..

As I mark an image in a folder view as flagged and then switch to a collection view and look on the same image, it's not flagged.
I expect, that information about marking the image as flagged remains on that image, not on a current active view.

It's as designed - Flags are local to a Folder/Collection.
>Or is it a (bad) feature?
It depends - some think it's a great and others hate it with a passion.

Error message when adding a filter to DV and HDV footage

Hi,
I do not understand why I am getting an error message saying,
" The effect 'refraction, twirl, insect eye' failed to render: Your Hardware cannot render at the requested size and depth"
Can some help me out?
I have a first generation Mac Pro 2..66 with 8gb of ram and the Ati radeon and Nvidia graffics card. This is a high end computer, why can't it render a video filter like refraction and son on?
I tried re-installing FCP and erasing those files in the preferences folder, but still not luck.
To make matters worse the render works on my MacBook Pro (1st gen.) and not on the Mac Pro quad core?
There must be something going on in my settings, is anybody else having this problem?
The footage I am working with are 2 formats, one is DV Ntsc shot with a DVX 100 and the other one I was working with HDV footage.
Why am I not able to render with the hardware power of this monster computer.
Thanks for you help,
Alessandro

Hi Varkgirl,
That would be great but I don't really know where to start with this. Can you help?

Flags and colors not taking (seems like a bug to me)

I'm seeing a bit of an issue I am not sure I understand.
I have a folder called
"creative" with four albums in it:
1
2
3
4
If I select all the images in the folder and TAG them and add a ORANGE COLOR these tags and colors show up on all the images in the Folder.
However, /some/ of the images in some of the folders have images that are showing up without the Orange Color and in some case there are images without the Flag or the Orange Color.
This is so confusing it seems like a bug to me.
What am I missing?

Hi. The first image is where I selected all the images and FLAGGED AND COLORED THEM.
The next two images show SUB-Albums in this folder where there are images that are either not flagged or not colored...

My computer keeps defaulting from a GB format to US format keyboard with a US flag in the top bar. How do I get it to go back to a GB flag and stay with a GB flag?

My computer keeps defaulting from a GB format to US format keyboard with a US flag in the top bar. How do I get it to go back to a GB flag and stay with a GB flag?
This only started 2 days ago.
I have seen much on line as this seems to be a common problem, however none of the suggestions posted seem to work.

Thanks Drew,
On clicking the US flag I had previously then unchecked the US box. It has rechecked itself, and I have unchecked it again. The GB English remains checked.
The flag icon has now gone completely from the top bar (just replaced with character and keyboard viewer) -but that's fine. That's different to previous attempts to fix the issue.
Hopefully now I will remain able to type a £ sign on the keyboard rather than get the criss-cross symbol. It may well default back in about an hour (which is what has been happening since this started 2 days ago). If it does I'll come back on here. Many thanks in the mean time for your help.

Environment open flags and multithreading

Do I actually need to create an environment explicitly if I want to read only from a database in a multithreaded program (no other process, no write operations)? I don't need to use DB_INIT_LOCK as there is no thread writing to the database. And I don't need to use DB_INIT_MPOOL as there is no other process using the very same database. As the database is read-only the open flags DB_INIT_LOG, DB_INIT_TXN and DB_RECOVER don't provide any benefit either. Is this all correct? I don't need to use DB_THREAD either (which I found in the documentation of DbEnv)?

You are correct. Using XmlManager without an environment will automatically create an environment that can support multithreaded access (but not multiprocess). So for your multithreaded single-process read only application an XmlManager without an explicit environment should be sufficient.I started to test some code. Unfortunately it always crashs if I use more than one thread. I get different error messages when it crashs - here are a few:
{font:Courier}BDB XML: page 0: illegal page type or format
BDB XML: PANIC: Invalid argument
BDB XML: assert failure: ..\..\db-4.6.21\db\db_cam.c/92: "F_ISSET(dbc, DBC_ACTIVE)"

{font:Courier}BDB XML: test.bdbxml: more pages returned than retrieved
BDB XML: PANIC: Permission denied
BDB XML: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery{font}
I still have to debug the code to find out if I am doing anything wrong. But are there any known issues that it makes sense if I try to use some flags and maybe create the environment explicitly? Currently I only use DB_RDONLY to open the container.
Boris
PS: I just saw that the API reference contains a flag DB_THREAD. If I open the container with DB_THREAD though I get another error message:
{font:Courier}BDB XML: environment not created using DB_THREAD{font}
I'm a bit confused now: Either DB_THREAD is not required for thread-safe access or an environment must be created explicitly in order to use DB_THREAD?

Files saved from Elements 12 editor not automatically picked up and stacked in organizer

I have just upgraded to Elements 12 from version 6 and find that if I select a file in the organizer, select "Edit with Photoshop Elements editor", carry out the editing and save the file with the boxes for "include in elements organizer" and "Save in Version Set with original" checked the edited photo is not automatically included in the organizer nor stacked. On returning to the Organizer it tells me that a new photo has been found in the watched folders and I have to import it and stack it manually. What can I do to corret this problem?

Already several messages to confirm this is a bug.

You can add your vote in the feedback forum.

The workaround would be to kill the 'ElementsAutoanalyzer.exe' process, as described here:

Need to perform both Queue and stack operations in Visual C# code

Need to perform both Queue and stack operations, is any Data Structure available for this. or how can i custom create the structure for this?

Hi,
In this structure contains base logics of Queue and Stack. Well stack plays major role here with operations of PUSH, POP with additional operation of Queue i.e., ENQUEUE and DEQUEUE. Here the stack has enqueue and dequeue

Query with two filter prompts(phase and document)

Hi All,
I am new to sap sourcing.
I am trying to customize a query for (Sourcing Report for all supplier registrations showing the cycle times for each
approval phase of the process)which I have added two filter prompts(phase and document name).
When I try to execute the query, I don't get the required output for the phase filter prompt.
Also phase is a value list and when I select the phase from the drop down, the report doesn't give any value.
Please find the query as mentioned.

Please suggest how can I change the query accordingly.
Also , please suggest how can add the result fields for calculating the duration(created at - Action date).
Please do the needful.
Thanks and Regards

Hello Vignesh,
Thank you!!
I could find that only the supplier registration modifications are included in the query given by you, but we need to include the supplier registrations as well.
I tried modifying the query and it worked.
But, now the challenge is to include the workflow status(T1.APPROVAL_STAUS) in the filter prompt.
T1 table is FCI_WORK_ITEM.
T.APPROVAL_STAUS is an integer data type in the table.
I defined the T.APPROVAL_STAUS as string In Result fields and in the filter prompt.
But the query works for other filter prompts except workflow status.
I have included the filter prompts as mentioned below:
T1.CONTEXTID=<%CONTEXT(workflow.process)%> AND
UPPER(T2.BIZ_DOC_OBJECT_NAME) like ? AND
UPPER(T2.PHASE_SUB_REF_OBJECT_NAME) like ? AND
UPPER(T1.APPROVAL_STATUS) like ? AND
UPPER(T1.PERFORMER_OBJECT_NAME) like ?
<%ORDERBY%>
Please suggest on this.
Thanks and Regards

Diference between filter Lens correction and Camera Raw Lens Correction

Whats is the main diference between tools: filter lens corection and Camera Raw Lens Correction.
I am using PhotoShop cs6, OS Windows 7
I already asked support team in Poland, but they send my back message: "we dont support any longer PhotoShop sc6"

Swila, were your "other images" previously edited in Camera Raw? I.e., do they already have saved image settings? The defaults that you save via the flyout menu will only apply to new images, or if you reset an existing image to the defaults. (e.g., choose "Camera Raw Defaults" from the flyout menu).

i do wana know what is meant by user flag and how it is different from System flag.?
can i use user flag to distinguish the mail. in my application?
Thanks,

System flags are defined by the IMAP spec and every server has to support them.
User flags are defined by the application. Different IMAP servers may have different
limitations on user flags.

Confused on albums and stacks

Before I upgraded to Snow Leopard and Aperture 2.1.4 I had built three albums with 45 pictures each, and put them in a folder. I used these albums to sync to my iPhone, and looking at my iPhone all 135 pictures are in the right place.
After upgrading SL and Aperture few days ago, I went through my pictures for the last year and created a few dozen stacks.
Today I noticed in the Project Bar that the albums now have 232, 1247 and 1088 pictures.
After a little investigation, it seems, that in any album that had a picture that is now in a stack, the album now includes the whole stack inside the album! I'm able to reproduce the 'feature' by just selecting a picture and 'stacking' it with any other random picture. Unfortunately, if I unstack (i.e. not close) the stack, all the surplus pictures are not removed from the albums.
The stacks of pictures I am referring to are not versions of a master, they are groups of pictures from a single photo event.
Suggestions on eliminating this behavior?

Well, admitting my confusion, here are more details:
I have about 14,000 pictures, 75GB, in Aperture, half are RAW, the rest jpeg. Due to the size of the library all files are referenced.
When I load pictures from the camera into Aperture, they go into a project based on the year (i.e. 2007, 2008, 2009). Years are averaging about 1,500 - 2,500 photos. Inside each Project (year) are a group of Smart Albums based on month, subject or location. All referenced masters for 2008-2009 are on my MBP, all previous Projects (years) have been relocated to an external drive using Aperture's move feature. The stack problem only involves referenced masters on the MBP.
In the Project Pane, underneath the Library I have two folders:
- One folder contains smart albums based on keywords or metadata that crosses Projects (i.e. multiple years)
- The second folder 'Collections' is made up of static albums (and light tables) that I use to sync or export to iPhone, Flickr, websites, etc. These photos also come from various projects.
Recently I got tired of scrolling through hundreds and hundreds of pictures in a project, so if I ran into 30 pictures from a dog show, or party, or vacation, I just selected them and turned them into a stack. I created 20-30 stacks for 2009, another 15-20 for 2008, reducing the browser scrolling time dramatically.
In the simple case, I thought this is what stacks are for.
To my 'confusion' each time I included a picture in a stack (within a single project) the whole stack was added to the static album in my 'Collections' folder [remember Collections is not inside the same project.]
Last month it did not work this way, the evidence is my iPhone that syncs to a static album in 'Collections'. The iPhone shows a photo album of 20 photos that has now grown to 232 on Aperture due to the stacking of images that were included in an album. Four other iPhone sync albums have expanded also. Manually I have not added any images to the albums that expanded.
None of the referenced pictures have been moved, renamed or relocated. After recognizing the problem, I did rebuild the Aperture database, it is about 18GB without the images in it.
While cleaning-up, I did relocate some static albums from the top layer of the Project pane into the Collections folder, but even static albums that were already inside the folder (e.g. 'iPhoneSync2009' have seen increases in the number of images.
I had upgraded to Aperture 2.1.4 and Snow Leopard and synced to iPhone without problem, before I started stacking things.
So, admitting my confusion here:
- Why isn't this what stacks are for? (STACK and UNSTACK should create and delete, expandable and collapsible sets, inside a project or not)
- Apparently no one else see this behavior?
I'm totally open to suggestions of better organization or use of folders and stacks, I've tried to read every Aperture forum and blog I can find.
Thanks for advice,
Flack
