Histogram triangles
I think, these triagles are getting colors according to the color distribution of the images.
The white triangles are represents for the clipping.
What about the other colors? I mean, as an example, when the highlight triangle is getting the yellow color? And when the shadow side triangle is getting its blue color? is it possible to read the color intensity thru this triagle colors? is it possible to correct the color precisely by looking this triangle colors.
salute.....
Brilliant answer...
Thousands of people are interested to read and comment about anything bad about Lirghroom... They won't sleep before at least read it once.
Look at here....are they seen this question? 10 of them, 15 of them. Interesting is (this subject) it never talked anyone at any books or any video tutorials. I have fully read almost all books about Lightroom, I have seen many video tutorials. Almost I have prepared to do the ACE exam for the LIghtroom.. waiting for the lightroom 3 ACE..
One of my questions: is it possible to read the color intensity thru this triangle colors?
(100% agreed with you. my question is not clear)
What I mean is: the highlight triangle is getting yellow color. as you already said, the red and green channels were clipped.
I know very well how to clear the clippings without touching the integrity of the image. My question is, under HSL module, should we able to do anything with the red and green tabs before starting the traditional remedies to correct the subject clipping"
I would like to take this opportunity to tell all the Lr fans about a good book that is not a traditional one. It will open for you a different experience.
If you carefully go thru the provided 20 .dng files and follow his way with Lightrom you will master the software. Thru first five chapters he shared all his vision and voice (he said, he took 20 years of shooting to get his vision). It is a poetry... if you read it more you will get it more and more...(first 5 chapters).
I did not read his first two books, Within the frame and VisionMongers. What I mean, this is not a hidden agenda to sell his book. There is no connection between me and the said author. All Lightroom books are made by painful efforts and that are created with vast knowledge. But some times some one will better than others. It is not a Lightroom tutor. As he said, inside the book, if you want to study the software please go and by Mr Kelby's Lightroom book. I sincerely recommend to buy this book to all those who wants to Lr one step ahead than usual. Let me salute for Mr. David duChemin.

I've lost the histogram - and other adjustment woes
I filed a rather long description of this to the Aperture Feedback, but as I suspect that is a "write only" channel I thought I'd ask here (and I did review a bunch of posts with no luck)
I have a brand spanking new MacPro quad, with 2 NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT video cards (I mention this only because of Aperture's use of GPUs).
In summary, I imported a project that works fine on my MacBook Pro, but on my MacPro the histogram in the adjustments HUD is gone. When I try to make an adjustment, a HUGE black triangle appears where the preview image was, the histogram magically appears, I make the adjustment (the slider is not smooth), a full second passes and the preview is updated with the adjustment -- and, of course, the histogram disappears. When the system is feeling particularly nasty, the preview comes up completely black after the adjustment (although the thumbnail appears to be updated properly).
Suffice it to say I've tried everything but yank out the RAM and the GPUs... I've seen this on some images in other projects. I created a new Aperture library and loaded some images (from different cameras) -- all exhibit this behavior. I've stopped and restarted Aperture. I've shutdown and restarted the MacPro. I've reverted my profiles for the displays to the Apple defaults. I've started considering moving to Lightroom...
Aperture is such a wonderful program when it works... I've had a bunch of minor issues with the program over the past year I've been using it - but this is insane.
If anyone can provide some clues as to how to fix this I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
- dave
Note: A small update to my post. I thought the histogram had disappeared, but upon closer inspection it is there -- but it reads as if it were a completely black image (e.g., all of the values are in the first column). Another clue...

Why are clipping adjustments in the basic panel not being saved, updated or shown in the histogram? I am using LR 5.7 on a MAC OSX 10.8 etc.
Here is more information and hopefully a better explanation. My version of
LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits
done in the basic module. That means that I can correct exposure,
highlights, shadows etc. but once I go to another picture and returned to
the edited one the histogram (on the edited photo) and specifically the
clipping triangles are white or some other color. This is normally suppose
to indicate that some channel or all channels are clipped in the
highlight/shadow areas. If I adjust any slider in the Basic panel even as
little as one +/- value or press the J-key, the histogram will now show the
original edit. Moving on to another photo and then returning to to
previously edited one and again the edits are "not saved" and I have to hit
the J-key or adjust a slider to see the previously edited information
reflected in the histogram.
This is especially frustrating for fours reasons. If I have edited a shoot
and return to it I cannot see from the clipping information whether the
original edit was correct and of course I might re-edit it (to some now
incorrect value). This brings up the second issue synchronization. I can't
rely on it because if I go back to fine tune a specific image in the batch
the triangles are white or some other color for that and every image. I have
to hit the J-key to show/hide clipping or the back slash key to see
before/after previews. This is the third issue which is very time consuming
and inefficient regarding my workflow. The forth issue is that I have
noticed that normally when an image is saved in PS, LR adds a copy of the
saved version to its catalogue. I have noticed that the PS to LR saves are
all wrong in terms of exposure (they are much lighter in tone) than the
original LR edit and the PS edit on my screen. If I check the PS to LR photo
in LR I notice that the Basic panel values have been changed and that I have
to sync the image with the originally edited RAW/NEF LR file to get it to
look the same.
Note 1). I am using an Apple cinema display and a calibrated Eizo ColorEdge
monitor to view my NEF files. I have reverted back to using LR 4 however I
am not sure if I should expect compatibility problems with Camera Raw 7.4 in
LR 4 vs. Camera Raw 8.6 in LR 5.
Note 2.) I am going to do an import converting everything to .dng to see if
this is a work around.
Note 3). I would be interested in knowing if this issue is related to the PS
RAW engine ver. 8.6, the Adobe created NEF calibrations or LR 5.
Note 4). I have duplicated this issue in OS X 10.8.5, OS X 9.xx and OS X
10.10.1
Hopefully someone else has noticed this problem. Any shared information
would be valuable. Thanks for the reply. -
ADC with very low DNL for pulse height histogram MCA ?
I'm looking for an 100 kHz or faster analog to digital converter with
very low DNL ( much lower than 0.1 lsb or 10%) to be used for pulse
height MCA analysis by creating a histogram of digitized count
values. Standard PCI interface cards have DNL of 0.2 lsb which
produces noisy histograms when repeatedly digitizing a triangle wave
spanning the entire adc input range. PCI card would be best, but
external device or just the adc chip itself would be useable.
Wilkinson style is one known for such low DNL.Application is time correlated single photon counting to measure
nanosecond fluorescent lifetimes. A laser pulse generates a start
pulse. The first photon emitted from the sample generates a stop
pulse. The time difference is converted to a voltage pulse (0 to
+10V), 2 usec duration (I could extend that with an external
sample/hold) by a time-to-amplitude converter. The overall lifetime
of the sample is constructed by repeating this at least tens of
thousands of times. For each laser shot, the voltage pulse is
digitized and its binary code summed into a histogram bin. A plot is
made of number of occurances vs adc binary code value. At least 12
bits of resolution is desired. The pulses to be digitized occur
randomly in time at least 10 usec apart (maybe 100 usec).
For accurate data, the width of each histogram bin should be equal. I
test this by making a histogram from a triangle wave. The number of
occurances vs raw adc counts should be flat. Instead, it exhibits
variations of 20% (equivalent to 0.2 lsb of dnl).
So what I'd like is an adc with bin widths equal to say 1% that can
digitize a voltage within 10 usec. Its type should not really matter
as long as it can accomplish this.
A 20% deviation in adc bin width seems like a high value for something
electronic in nature ike this. What is it that makes this not
typically so, since most adc's has 0.2 lsb DNL specs ?

LR 3 Highlight Clipping Warning Triangle Colors
A friend of mine has seen the colors of the highlight and black clipping warning triangles in the LR3 histogram panel change color to cyan (pink) and yellow but doesn't know what these are indicating.
I tried to replicate this in LR4 but only saw (what looks like) pink (but may be red), blue and green.
Does anyone know what the yellow and pink triangles mean?
Thanks,
StephenJimHess wrote:
Red and blue are the only two colors that the clipping indicator will show on the picture. I don't know where you would be seeing a green overlay.
In the two triangles themselves. And in the picture itself when holding down the Alt key while changing exposure etc.
E.g. crop a small green patch out of a picture, increase the saturation, so a clear green peak appears in the histogram, then increase the exposure. The moment the green peak touches the right border of the histogram, the right triangle turns green (best seen in PV2010 because PV2012 does automatic highlight recovery). As soon as e.g. the red peak follows, the triangle turns yellow. Only if all three colors touch the right border, the trangle turns white.
The same colors appear in the affected image areas if the slider is changes with the Alt key held down.
Edit: Screenshot of histogram with green peak touching right border: -
Hi everyone - I am developing various proofs of the pythagora's theorem
and the following code draws a triangle on screen and the proof follows -
but i need to know how to drag the triangle such tht 1 angle is always set to 90 degrees.
i.e. i need to resize the triangle by dragging its vertex points by which the1 angle remains at 90 no matter what the size.
The proof has got some graphics code hardcoded in it - i.e. LINES AND POLYGONS have been hardcoded
i need to reconfigure that such that everytime the user increases the size of the triagnle and clicks on next it draws the lines and polygons in the correct area and place

}Please help --- really need to sort this out...
THANKSOne of the problems you face is that it is hard to recognise which parts of your code are drawing the triangle. This is because you are writing code in a procedural way rather than an object oriented way.
In object oriented code you would have a triangle object that could draw itself. You would create the triangle object by specifying its sizes and angles in some way. Then it should be easy to change the triangles sizes and angles and ask all the drawn objects to redraw themselves. -

Calculating and displaying the Length of the side of a triangle
Hi everyone. I am currently working on Dragging and Stretching a triangle on screen. Ive got it working to a certain extent but the only problem is that whenever I go to the point from which i have to drag my triangle i.e. the Left hand Corner of the BAse at exactly 300,300 it redraws a new triangle below the existing one and then when i stretch it from the top and the right it leaves a trail of triangles everytime. But when i resize my window it clears the trail only to start agian when I drag or stretch it...
All my code for wahtever I have done is displayed below. I would appreciate all the help that any one can offer.
Secondly , as I stretch my triangle I would like to calculate My Length of the hypotenuse and the other 2 sides as they change and display it in System.out.println for now...
PLEASE HELP
the code is

Hey sorry mate.. ive got a nother problem.
I need to add loads of theorems to this tool. so i need a JMenu Bar called File with all the normal things. then another Menu called Theorems where i can have a list of JMenuItems with the theorem names --- Like when they click on Pythagoras Theorem it opens up all the triangle and the traingle data that u helped me with.
The thing is im using netbeans and in netbeans i can do it coz its there and all you got to do is put the components together.
Please Help
Thanks...

URGENT HELP REQUIRED _ Creating Labels for Triangle
Hi everyone... the code below is my application - Pythagoras Theorem.. or rather displaying it.. But i have not been able to get the Vertex of the triangle Labelled as A B C... I need to do that and change the Triangle Table data to A B C insted of Horizontal Vertical and Hypotenuise and as the triangle is stretched on screen A B And C keep moving as well ...
Besides i need to Show this in the tabel
- Values of A ^ 2 , B^2 and C ^2 as welll as a row showing A^2+B^2 = C^2
the code is as follows..
This is the main class called Geometry

The code given was part of the assignment and you are supposed to make the changes for your part right?
Please give details of what you have done so far and not expect us to do your assignment for you. We'll be glad to help answer questions and point to the right direction, but giving us the entire assignment and saying, very nicely I might add, "Please do it for me." Just seems to make a mockery of the hours, days, and years that many of us has spent earning our degrees and learning our skills.
Work on it and ask specific questions with examples of what you have done and you'll get a much better response. -
I know how I messed it all up.
I opened up Finder from the bottom dock and saw all my files including pics. Trying to free up as much space as possible on my pc I selected all and then deleted it. I thought because it is all in iphoto ,deleting it from Finder will not take it off everywhere. Later on I emptied the trash. When I finally realised that I had messed up I just went back on Time Machine and restored.
Now I can see what looks like all the files again it is there in Finder but when I try and open the pics in iphoto it simply shows a grey triangle with an exclamation mark in it?
I tried dragging them all into my iphoto from Finder but it said I do not have enough space.
Please help I am new to Apple.1 - NEVER make any changes of any sort tot he content or structure of the iPhoto library using the finder - there are no user servicable parts in it
2 - what did you restore from Time Machine? and how did you restore?
3 - how much free space do you have on your hard drive?

so everytime i try and link my apple id to my macbook (mid 07) it doesnt work and i get the yellow triangle. i recently reset my mac as i forgot my password. in the process i made another user to reset my password. doing this i went through the complete start up of a macbook (from when you buy from new). i dont know if this has anything to do with this problem. but i have now deleted that user.
any help is much appriciated.For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,

After migrating data from Time Machine, some of my photos are not showing up in iPhoto LIbrary view. I get a 'dashed rectangle." When I click on it I get ' ! in a Triangle" When I click on that, I actually can see the photo. I want to see all my photos in 'Library' view, and I can't figure out how these photos seem to be arbitrarily hidden. Help, please.
Try these for the first attempt:
First be sure to have a backup copy of the library if you already don't have one.

Is there a workaround for Photoshop CS6 Histogram?
I have noticed this and I am wondering if there is a more feasable workaround other than saving my work, closing the application and reopening the app.
Here are the steps:
Open a file (any file type compatible)
Open the histogram window
Open the layers window
If one layer / Background unlock
OR
Open file with multiple layers (image, mask, or adjustment)
In Layer window now deselect the background layer or all of the layers by clicking on the window below the layers (RIGHT under "Layer 0" in layer window)
The histogram changes to B&W histogram
The only way to revert to the previous Color display is to close PS CS6 and reopen it. Then you are back to the full histogram.
When editing multiple layers in files, or compositing, this is really an issue and slows down workflow.
Is there another workflow? I have attempted a couple workarounds but none have worked other than restart.
Any idea what is happening? or is anyone else running into this?
Just "Not selecting" is not an option.Seems like that has happened for several versions.
To get back to Colors without restarting photoshop cs6, you can go to Expanded View and choose Colors from the drop-down list. -
Hi all,
We're using Oracle 9.2.04.
I have a table with 500000 rows.
So I have a query that returns only 30242 for a month, like:
SELECT * FROM T1
WHERE TO_CHAR(DT, 'MM/YYYY') = TO_CHAR(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE, -1), 'MM/YYYY')
I have a index for this column:
CREATE INDEX IND_T1_DT_FMT ON T1 (TO_CHAR(DT, 'MM/YYYY'))
TABLESPACE TBS_SOME_USER;
There are statistics for this table.
Looking the table data, I have the following distribution:
Qty MON/YY %
1 Feb-09 0.000219142
99 Apr-09 0.021695016
38439 May-09 8.42358314
98231 Jun-09 21.52649641
1 Jul-06 0.000219142
139959 Jul-09 30.6708362
1 Aug-02 0.000219142
1 Aug-07 0.000219142
141362 Aug-09 30.97829184
30242 Sep-09 6.62727962
7990 1.750941213But when a perform the query (that returns 30242 rows - 6.63% of table):
SELECT * FROM T1
WHERE TO_CHAR(DT, 'MM/YYYY') = TO_CHAR(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE, -1), 'MM/YYYY')
Oracle uses FTS:
0 SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=CHOOSE (Cost=432 Card=45633 Bytes
=3011778)
1 0 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'T1' (Cost=432 Card=45633 Bytes
=3011778)
So, Oracle should not use the index in this case?
Is there any way to gather statistics for this table with a index based function?
Something like this:
EXECUTE DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS(ownname => 'U1',
tabname => 'T1', method_opt => 'FOR COLUMNS TO_CHAR(DT, ''MM/YYYY'')',
cascade => true, degree => 4);
How can I create histograms for this case?
Or other solution, like Partition?
thank you very much!!!!Always treat dates like dates.
This
SELECT * FROM T1
WHERE TO_CHAR(DT, 'MM/YYYY') = TO_CHAR(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE, -1), 'MM/YYYY')Should be more like this:
SELECT * FROM T1
WHERE DT BETWEEN TRUNC(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-1),'MM') AND TRUNC(SYSDATE,'MM')-1 ;Then you should index DT.
But, should this query use the index?
Touch and go at 6.63%.
Give it a go using dates as dates and see if it makes a difference.
Is there a problem with the performance of the FTS?

ITunes will not play music videos through airplay
This is a specific user account issue. If I create a new account I do not have this issue. That being said I really want to solve this for my existing user login. Music Videos (and tagged as such) play in iTunes fine. If I select my AppleTV (which
