For a laptop for LR image loading on trips - is 1366x768 screen enough and HDD size?

I have big pc and big screens for editing at home, but for travel am looking for a laptop for loading images on the road and basic LR sorting and tagging while away.
2 questions to get your experiences, forum regulars, about my direction:
1. 1tb HDD with an external 1tb HDD as backup - rather than 256 or 512 gb inboard SSD (reasons of $$$ and also to load all my images on a trip)
2. 14 inch screen with 1366 x 768 or similar rather than full HD ($$$ reasons and becasue I figure I can zoom in to check focus on that screen just fine)
Your comments and experiences?

It meets the minimum requirements for display size which is 1024 x 768
I use a 15 inch Macbook Pro on the road, so pretty close in size.

  • After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it.

    The page load progress bar that was on the lower right of the window is no longer there. After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it. The tab has a circular progress wheel but this is useless for determining a stuck or slow loading page.
    PLEASE NOTE: I am typing this in from a Windows based work computer but am asking about my Apple MacBook Pro that i use at home.

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />

  • I've been sent a scan of a document as an attachment. Clicking on it, I get the message, "Pixel aspect ration correction is for preview purposes only. Turn it off for maximum image quality." What is pixel aspect ration and how do I turn it off?

    I've been sent a scan of a document as an attachment. Clicking on it, I get the message, "Pixel aspect ration correction is for preview purposes only. Turn it off for maximum image quality." What is pixel aspect ration and how do I turn it off?

    It's "aspect ratio", not aspect "ration". 
    It's what determines whether you have square pixels ("normal") or, if rectangular pixels, what the aspect ratio (width : length)  of that rectangle is.
    It's explained in the Help files.  I cannot go into more detail because you have neglected to provide information about your platform and exact version of Photoshop.

  • I can select a rating and a color label for my images, but I can not sort by rating and color label.

    I can select a rating and a color label for my images, but I can not sort by rating and color label. when I click on the filter drop down, color label is not one of the options.  how do I get both ratings and color lables as an option to sort with.

    You can Filter (not sort) on both color label and rating if you want, open the Filter Bar with the backslash key, then click on Attribute, and then select the stars and color label of interest. If you really meant "sort" and not filter, then you can't do this in Lightroom.

    i try to keep my thumb palms off the mouse pad when i am typing but every now and then my screen resizes larger or smaller until i take my left palm off the keyboard base its only when my left palm is resting on the base next to the touch pad. i type pretty fast so it gets annoying and yes it also jumps screens or reverts back to previous message and i have to choose ctrl z to undo and get back to my message i was typing... it also switches tabs on me as well... not sure why my palm being on the left of the keypad on the base should effect anything but it does after a while. and i have to stop what i am doing...and go to the firefox menu and change the screen size back down to 100% sometimes it goes up to 200-300 other times it goes down to 70-80% i find it annoying i i wish there was a way to turn off the screen resize in the setup panel. if its just left to be 100% i am happy with that... i don't need it to be bigger or smaller... there should be a way to LOCK it down... i understand that there are people out there with eye problems and needs to have the screen size increase using the + or - but there should be a lock so it just stays no matter what is happening on my keypad or touch pad or base of the pad... that screen size will not increase or decrease. unless i turn off the lock... perhaps this is something they can implement in the next version or do a quick update of the browser

  • All of a sudden the screen on my iMac 10,1 is too small for the image. Can't figure out how to reduce the size of the Finder or any of the Apps.

    All of a sudden the screen is too small for the image. Hard to explain, but in order to see the entire Finder window, I must scroll the image up/down, left/right.
    It's not just the Finder though, all of the apps are affected this way too.
    It's probably got something to do with the fact that I have an HDMI cable running from the Mac to a Vizio 42" TV. It's been running this way just fine for over two months though.
    Any ideas?

    You probably accidently zoomed the screen.  Hold down CNTL while scrolling down with the mouse or trackpad to unzoom.  Cntl - scroll up to zoom.

  • If I buy iWork on my iPhone, will I be able to install that same iWork through my apple account onto an iPad and be able to use that full screen? Or do i have to pay for a iPad version of iWork, where the screen settings and other stuff are different?

    I'd like to get iWork on both my ipad 2 and iphone 4 mainly for traveling purposes... Right now I lent my iPad to my dad whose in somewhere else now so I don't have access to the iPad. So, I was wondering if right now I buy iWork onto my iPhone, and then when the iPad comes home, can I install that same iWork I bought through my apple acout and not have to pay for another version, and the iPad iWork can go full screen beautifully and not ugly?

    iWork is universal, so it will work full-res on the iPad. This is true for any app which has the plus sign symbol (in the App Store in iTunes it will say "This app is designed for iPhone and iPad".

  • HT203433 My  ipod will not open PDF files.  I can't access any that are saved because when I click on it an icon appears like it is trying to load, but then a black screen appears and then back to home screen.  Help???

    I need help understanding why my ibooks app won't run.  I have crochet patterns stored that I cannot view .
    Please help? 

    I have two yahoo accounts and I know as they 'improved' their servers I had periodic outages. It'd work fine on my webmail on  my computer, webmail on the iPad, but not via the mail app. And it was stuff on their end. It may be a case of wait and see and you may need to eventually remove/readd the account on your iPhone.
    When the issue is on their end, unfortunately there's not much for users to do beyond wait it out or find work arounds.

  • Error when opening legitimate documents "Insufficient data for an image"

    I work for a company who has sold "downloadable resources" via PDF for years now. We created a large batch of PDF documents in 2003 with
    Adobe Acrobat 6.0 paper capture, and these are all PDF 1.5 type documents. We've provided these resources for years, however just today we were notified by a user that upon downloading the file they get a message "Insufficient data for an image". These ARE NOT HACKED PDF's. and they worked fine until 9.0. I have tried 9.0 and 9.1, on multiple computers and have confirmed this issue.
    Now we are stuck with hundreds of PDF's that won't open in 9.x.
    I did try downloading a free demo of "PDF-TOOLS" Recovery & Analysis tool, and I open the file using that program, scan the file - TELLS ME ALL IS OK, then resave it using that program.
    Only then can I open it in 9.x.
    What are we to do now short of buying a $200 tool and taking perhaps several days of time to open and save hundreds of "previously working" PDF files???

    RollingRocker, did you ever get a solution for this? I am having the same problem. I produce a pdf using a JSF third party api called flying saucer, which actually uses itext to produce the pdf. I can attempt to produce the same exact pdf over and over and about 85% of the time the error occurs and the rest of the time the pdf opens successfully with no error. Obviously 15% of the time the reader is completely happy with this pdf, so it is not a malicious document in any way.

  • Setting azure portal icon for new images

    According to the Azure Service Management REST API, one should be able to set the icon to be displayed in the portal using the IconUri and SmallIconUri tags as described here.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/jj157198.aspx
    I sent this command with these values set to the URLs for publicly available png icon files and created a new image.  The image was created successfully and no errors were returned, however the icons displayed are still the default windows icons.
    Is this feature disabled somehow or is there some other specification that needs to be set or addressed?
    I could continue to try endless possibilities (like different sized icons or URL locations) but it seems like this should have worked according to the API specification since no other restrictions were stated.
    Could someone please tell me how to get this to work?

  • What PS file settings are used for still images for FCE?

    I have images to use/create for the titles and transitions in my first FCE4 project. Using Photoshop CS6, the preset for File > New > Film & Video has the prest size and pixel aspect ratio selections.  I thought to use this with HDV 1080p/29.97 and HDV1080/DVCPRO HD 720 (1.33) for any images I need for the project.
    Most discussions I see only refer to the pixel size reference for HD image sizes, but nothing addressing the pixel aspect ratio setting for the image.  Are these settings ignored in PS and handled in FCE only? Or does it make better quality images to get this "right" in PS when creating the still image?
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm not quite sure I understand your question. In an ideal world, the graphic material you build in PS should match the sequence settings you intend to edit them into - so, if for no other reason, it reduces the amount of reformatting FCE has to do when rendering them.
    But frequently you want to build graphics larger than the frame size of the sequence so that you can re-size and reposition the graphic within FCE without losing quality.
    The apparent pixel aspect ratio of your graphic can be controlled with FCE by editing the graphic to the timeline, double clicking on the clip in the timeline, and when that timeline clip opens in the viewer, click on the motion tab and adjust the Aspect Ratio Paddle (this is the correction for a 1920 x1080 square pixel clip being placed into an HDV 1440 x 1080 timeline):
    In Photoshop, you can change the way your work is displayed by going to the menu View > Pixel Aspect Ratio:
    Does any of this help?

  • Adobe Pro XI install: Timeout waiting for window to load

    Installed fine on my work computer yesterday (subscription).  Trying to download and install at home from the website and getting "Timeout waiting for window to load".  I've tried IE, Chrome and Firefox.  I do have a Pro 8 installed here, but don't want to chuck it until I know XI is going to install - not sure I know where that disk is any longer.

    Hi Daniel,
    Seems to be a network issue here.
    Please try downloading the file ( Download Acrobat products | 9, 8 ) from any other network, (may be your work computer network) and save the setup file to a flash drive.
    Connect the flash drive to the home computer and try installing.

  • Same image, loaded multiple times: speeding up load time?

    I wrote this message before thinking about embedding the
    image... I was thinking that putting a relative path automatically
    embedded the image, but in retrospect I was wrong, and that will
    probably solve my problem. I'll just leave the question here anyway
    though:
    I'm using image components in my application loaded from a
    relative path. The problem is, I have many copies (30+) of the same
    image, essentially 30+ identical image components which need to be
    loaded/unloaded at different intervals, and they are not loading
    fast enough for me. Would it be more effective to duplicate an
    existing "master" Image to improve load time instead of explicitly
    setting "image.source=" each time? Is there any better solution for
    improving image load speed?
    Best of all would be some way to pre-cache or buffer images,
    so that I can be guaranteed that they will load as quickly as
    possible when I bind them to an Image component.
    Cheers!

    JPGS are much better for photos.  PNGs are good when you need transparency.
    Instead of Image Swapping, why don't you use a photo gallery?
    FancyBox is nice..  It supports real text captions/descriptions, too.

  • Applying filter to images loaded with movieClipLoader

    Hello,
    I am building a product gallery and have a number of rather
    large bitmap images that I am loading with movieClipLoader. I need
    to apply drop shadow filters to them when they are loaded. I have
    tried several methods of going about this without success. One
    method was putting the loaded images into a movie clip with
    createEmptyMovieClip, and then applying the filter dynamically, but
    I couldn't seem to get it to work- the filter never appeared. I
    then tried applying the filter to the bitmap itself with
    bitMapData, but because I was not loading the bitmaps using
    bitMapData itself (I think) I wasn't able to get that method to
    work either.
    Does anyone have a suggestion or a recommendation for me?
    Thanks very much for any advice.

    Were you doing it after the onLoadInit event in the
    MovieClipLoader's listener?
    Try doing it that way if you haven't. One option I use for
    dynamic image loading is to create and empty holder clip - use that
    for placement and create another empty clip inside that one that I
    use as the loading target... I think this should work if you set
    the filter at the level of the first 'empty' clip. I had to use
    this approach a number of times because I was using a tweening
    engine based on movieclip prototype extensions (old hat I know) and
    loading new images kicked out the extended functionality from the
    clip the images are loaded into. That doesn't happen to the clip's
    parent... hence I think it might work also for what you want to do.
    Another thing to watch for is that you can't do bitmapData
    copies of images from a different domain unless you have
    crossdomain policy support - you can set it up so this works. I'm
    not sure if this affects filters though.
