Happy New Year! Don't forget to update your copyright

Happy New Year, everyone! Hope you & your loved ones are happy & healthy.
Just a reminder to update any IPTC metadata templates you might be using. I'm using PSE 3 on a Mac, and I use the File Browser to apply an IPTC copyright notice to every image I take. (Hey, I might be famous some day. ;-) )
If you do something like that, don't forget to change your copyright notice to 2006 as of any photos taken today.

Tom:
Or just "dhá mhíle a sé" ("two thousand six" in Irish). Let's hope the coming year is dog-gone funny, rather than dog-eat-dog.
Barbara:
Well, Santa sent a raincheck. :-) That's the bad news. The good news is that the lens is back-ordered because it's Sigma's latest and greatest DG model that's "optimized" for digital SLRs. It's supposed to have a coating on the rear of the lens to reduce reflections from the sensor. So I'd rather wait and get the newest lens.
I did get some interesting photos of water skiers and war protesters with another lens, though.

    Merry is the glad word, marry is when you match and wed people (or ideas).
    Craig has suggested on his "off line" station gathering pictures of winter and celebrations.
    In fact he's running a [video contest |http://www.kyte.tv/ch/72385-friday-morning-report/292138-florida-winter]so folks can share their winters.
    One of our community members shared a knowledge nugget with me in Twitter: "that my own holiday, Channukah, has some traditions like Diwali (burning an oil lamp)" for example.
    This year was the first time in my life that we did that (rather than just light candles which we did as well).
    I like this [picture|http://www.flickr.com/photos/marilynpratt/3131272327/] that has our neighbors Christmas lights blended with our own Channukah oil lamp.
    It reminds me of the best things community can be: sharing, lightness, illumination.
    Marrying (blending) to make merry (happy) is what our diverse community is all about.
    Happy Holidays and a good season.
    Thanks to everyone who generously wish these things regardless of where in the world they are and what they celebrate.
    We salute you.

  • Real-time HDV importing ..& Happy New Year!

    Hi! Happy 2006!
    Some time in December (?) I said I'd been to the London Apple Store to try importing HDV - with a Sony FX-1 camcorder - into iMovie HD on a PowerMac, to see if it'd import in "real time" ..instead of importing at half or quarter speed, on my PowerBook and Mac mini, while it converts hi-definition footage into Apple's 'Intermediate Codec' (to make HDV MPEG footage editable).
    It couldn't be done in the hour and a half I was there, so an Apple Genius was going to get back to me.
    After a bit of complaining and cajoling, a Genius at 'The Studio' in the Store finally got back to me on Jan 3rd. [I'm now back home, so this is my first visit to Discussions for a while!]
    As I promised that I'd report back, here's what he said:
    "Today I imported HDV 1080i footage into iMovie using the Sony HDR-FX1 Camcorder using a Dual 2.7 G5 Power Mac with 4.5 Gb of Ram and there didn't appear to be any lag, it was realtime. I would recommend having as much memory as possible and having less than 4.5 might mean there is a transcoding lag as iMovie converts the HDC encoded footage using the Apple Intermediate Codec. I do not have any details what the minimum speed processor and memory requirements are to achieve realtime import, however it is hardware dependent.
    As another alternative you may consider using Final Cut Pro 5 software. This software uses the HDV Codec Natively and there is therefore no transcoding required. Capture is in realtime, whatever machine you use, so long as it is within the minimum requirements for Final Cut Pro 5. (Please check http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/finalcutpro/specs.html for further detail) For details of using HDV with Final Cut Pro 5 please go to http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/finalcutpro/editanything.html
    I hope this goes someway to answering your queries."
    (..So maybe I'll get a post-Christmas present of a quad ..Daniel's should have arrived by now ..wonder if his feet have touched the ground since..)
    So we who patiently wait while iMovie HD imports hi-def HDV at half-speed or slower could achieve 'real-time' importing with a PowerMac and lots of RAM, it seems.
    I also tried an HC-1 (..the compact 1-chip HDV camcorder..) and have to report that the auto-focus isn't anywhere near so fast as the pretty-near-instant focusing of the FX-1, and - predictably - its low-light performance isn't anywhere near the bright, un-grainy, colourful images of the FX-1. But the HC-1 does have NightShot and Super NightShot for shooting (monochrome) in absolute darkness, helped by infra-red LEDS on the camera, which the big, bulky FX-1 doesn't do. The HC-1 has just about all of the other gizmos of the FX-1 (..user-definable preset transitions - to zoom, change focus, adjust white balance, etc, automatically during shots..) but they're accessible mainly through touch-screen menus, instead of via quick push dedicated switches.
    So Happy New Year; hope it's a good one - and a faster Mac DOES mean real-time importing of HDV footage!
    [..I notice that Focus FireStore on-camera hard drives - which mean "say goodbye to importing, because your footage is saved to disc while you shoot" - have an HDV-compatible model ..but I think it still takes time to convert the captured HDV MPEG footage on the drive into Apple's Intermediate Codec for editing within iMovie HD. I'll investigate further..]
    Hope you had a good Christmas/Hanukah/whatever!

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!

  • Happy New Year and help Please!!! IPOD 4th GEN won't Synch??

    Hello,
    And, thanks for reading my question. I recently purchased an IPOD 4th GEN touch from Gamestop. I previously had an ipod that was stolen a few years ago. I had 2000 songs on my itunes and just haven't used it till now.
    When I bought the IPOD I ensured that my itunes and ipod were using the most current software. However, it is not synching my music. It will let me start to synch and then go through steps 1&2 of a five step process before it tells me that itunes has encountered a problem and must shut down. There is no specific code it gives me it just asks whether I'd like to send an error report or not.
    I have ensured my firewall was off. I restarted the IPOD and computer, and still nothing. Same error message and itunes shuts off. I have installed the latest updates to bonjour and quicktime, restarted, and still no remedy.
    I was tempted to uninstall everything but am afraid of losing my music. Only 30-40 songs are in my icloud. I imported the other songs to itunes a long time ago.
    Does anyone know how I can get these songs on my ipod? Thanks in advance for any help and Happy New Year to all...

    You probably need to set up automatic syncing.  If you do not set it up, it will still "sync" but it will sync nothing.
    In iTunes 12, select the iPod so that you see its Summary settings screen (click the "device button" on horizontal bar).  In the iPod's sidebar, under Settings, click Music.  To the right is the iPod's Music settings screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync your iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  This enables automatic syncing for songs.  Below that, if your entire iTunes library fits on your iPod, you can choose the option to sync Entire music library.
    Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Then, select what you want to sync from the lists below.  On convenient way to set this up is to create one or more playlists in your iTunes library with songs just for the iPod.  Or you can use existing playlists.  On the iPod's Music settings screen, find and select (checkmark) just those playlists under Playlists.
    When you click Apply, iTunes syncs your iPod with your selection(s) on the iPod's Music settings screen, and keeps it "in sync" automatically.

    Hi Guys,

  • I am considering purchasing a new Mac desktop. I have, at present, a Liteon 851S ext CD/DVD write and a Maxtor 3200 USB ext hard drive. Will these work with a Mac desktop? My local Apple store could not answer my question.Happy New year to all.

    Yes the Mac can read that drive but you would need to Copy the data off of it to the Mac as apposed to Move, which implies Deleting them from the drive as they were transferred from the external to the Mac. Since the Mac can Not Write to NTFS drives it can't Delete anything as that is really a Write operation, IE Making changes to the NTFS formatted drive.
    Once you have that Data on Both your New Mac and you Older Windows PC you can format that drive to work on both system.
    If you want to and plan on doing that post back and I'll explane how, it is simple but should be done on a Windows PC.
    If you only plan on using it on the Mac from now on that is fairly simple also and is done on the Mac, Once you have the files from it stored on the Mac.
    Yes you could burn those photos to DVD but that is just a waste of DVDs, you don't need to.

    Happy New Year Sandra !!
    Hope that drive does not give you trouble.
    (note to self Buy a new External drive)
    LOL! I've already made a note to myself to buy a second external drive, just to avoid the apparent inevitability of both a main drive and a backup drive dying/being murdered at the same time. Luckily, I did manage to save my email files and my Quicken files before the problems occurred. In addition, I can get my Address Book entries and iCal data from my Palm, and I can also transfer my iTunes stuff from my iPod to the new MacBook. But all of my 20+ years of quilting designs, many of our photos and all of my husband's work files are still in question.
    Once again, Happy New Year!
