Hopefully a quick Bridge question

Hello,
I'm new to the Forum. I'm hoping I can get some answers here and that I won't take too much of anyone's time.
I know this might seem odd, but I don't get Bridge and what it does. Adobe's description is nothing more than marketing fluff. I read it and still don't understand. What is it and what does it do? HOw is it different from LightRoom? The reason I even found my way here is because I'm trying to learn about custom White Balance. I was reading the info below and don't quite understand the reference about RAW conversion vs shooting in RAW. Any thoughts? And lastly, can anyone recommend a CS/Photoshop book that is good for beginners. There is so much out there that it's really overwheming and I don't know where to start. Any thoughts and ideas would be greatly appreciated! Elle
If you are shooting RAW, It doesn't matter how you set the WB. If you are using the Nikon capture software, at least it can see your WB setting and apply it during conversion. If you are using anything else to do the RAW conversion (Lightroom, Adobe Camera Raw, Aperture, etc.) it cannot read the encrypted data so it makes its own guess. You can then override it if necessary.
Shooting a grey card with custom WB to a jpeg might be helpful in verifying your WB setting on conversion

> If you are shooting RAW, It doesn't matter how you set the WB.
This is true. WB is more important when shooting JPEG, as it influences the processing of the final image, and is messier to correct later. Any raw converter can override the WB setting produced by the camera and do a new conversion without any loss in quality.

This isn't true. WB is not encrypted, so any raw converter can read it and provide it as a processing starting point. The author is referring to other settings like 'Picture Controls' or 'Picture Settings', which include Sharpness, Contrast, Hue and Saturation.
> Shooting a grey card with custom WB to a jpeg might be helpful in verifying your WB setting on conversion
Indeed it can. But life is too short to carry around a grey card! I just try to find a neutral object in photos, or adjust subjectively by eye.
Regarding Bridge itself. Bridge is a multi-functional file organiser. As a photographer, I use it to organise my photos, preview, add keywords, read EXIF data, rate, label, reject/delete. I can filter selections based on camera settings, keywords, etc. I use it to launch Camera Raw on selected photos, and select groups of photos for batch processing.

Hopefully a quick, simple question

Just got a shuffle and want to get different headphones. My question is this, what size is the headphone jack for the shuffle? Is it 3.5mm? Thanks!!!

yes, standard 3.5mm mini.

I have what is hopefully a quick and easy question. I kno...

I have what is hopefully a quick and easy question. I know almost nothing about this stuff so go easy on me . All I need to do is find out if my DHCP is enabled. I'm having problems with my Xbox 360 and one of the possible problems is this DHCP thing. However I have no idea how to find the settings for my router on my computer. If it helps I have a Wirless model BEFW11S4. Thanks in advance for any help.

You need to access your router to check if the DHCP is on. To access the router open your browser and type in http://192.168.1.1 into the address field and hit enter. That should open the routers log on screen and by default the user is left blank (some routers it is admin) and the password is abmin. If you changed your routers password as you should for security reasons then use that password. That will bring you to your routers user interface and on the main set up page should be your DHCP.

Hi all .hope all is well ..A quick trim question

Hi all
Hope all is well ......
I have a quick trim question I want to remove part of a string and I am finding it difficult to achieve what I need
I set the this.setTitle(); with this
String TitleName = "Epod Order For:    " + dlg.ShortFileName() +"    " + "Read Only";
    dlg.ShortFileName();
    this.setTitle(TitleName);
    setFieldsEditable(false);
[/code]
Now I what to use a jbutton to remove the read only part of the string. This is what I have so far
[code]
void EditjButton_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    String trim = this.getTitle();
      int stn;
      if ((stn = trim.lastIndexOf(' ')) != -2)
        trim = trim.substring(stn);
    this.setTitle(trim);
[/code]
Please can some one show me or tell me what I need to do. I am at a lose

there's several solutions:
// 1 :
//you do it twice because there's a space between "read" and "only"
int stn;
if ((stn = trim.lastIndexOf(' ')) != -1){
    trim = trim.substring(0,stn);
if ((stn = trim.lastIndexOf(' ')) != -1){
      trim = trim.substring(0,stn);
//2 :
//if the string to remove is always "Read Only":
if ((stn = trim.toUpperCase().lastIndexOf("READ ONLY")) != -1){
   trim = trim.substring(0,stn);
//3: use StringTokenizer:
StringTokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(trim," ");
    String result="";
    int count=st.countTokens();
    for(int i=0;i<count-2;i++){
      result+=st.nextToken()+" ";
    trim=result.trim();//remove the last spaceyou may find other solutions too...
perhaps solution 2 is better, because you can put it in a separate method and remove the string you want to...
somthing like:
public String removeEnd(String str, String toRemove){
int n;
String result=str;
if ((n = str.toUpperCase().lastIndexOf(toRemove.toUpperCase())) != -1){
   result= str.substring(0,stn);
return result;
}i haven't tried this method , but it may work...

Mac OS10.8.3 and CS6 Bridge question

In CS 6, when I go to "File" > "Browse in Bridge" on the drop down menu, "Browse in Mini Bridge" is always highlighted in blue, along with "Import" and "Automate" and "Scripts". Other options including "Browse in Bridge" are available, but not highlighted in blue.
I have no clue why these options are highlighted as I never have used any of them in the other versions of PSCS I've used, as I much prefer just "Browse in Bridge". . Is there any way to remove the highlight on these options, (but NOT remove the options) ? It isn't a BIG deal, just annoying.
Hope someone can enlighten me ~
Thanks... Carolyn

Yes, you are right. This is more of a Photoshop question, and I appreciate your calling it to my attention. I did do as you suggested, but was unable to uncheck "What's New" in PS6. I tried a dozen times, and no matter what I do, it just won't uncheck.
I have actually posted this qustion on the dpreview.com Retouching Forum and Mac Forum, but yours is the first answe I've received in several days. So I appreciate your trying to help, and give you a "yes" for alerting me to my error in thinking it was a Bridge question.
Like I mentinoed, this is not a critical problem, just an annoying one. There are a LOT of options that are highlighted, but the one on "Mini Bridge' just hits me in the face everytime I get on PS and want to just "Browse in Bridge". It's like someone trying to make you buy something you don't want ! :-) I guess I'll just have to get used to it !
Thanks again for trying to help
Carolyn

No bridge forum for a bridge question (??)

Quick script question

Hi all,
Could anyone advise me if i can add anything within - header('Location: http://www.mysite.co.uk/thankyou.html'); in the script below so as the page
re- directs back to the main index page after a few seconds ?
Thankyou for any help.
<?php
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Feedback form results';
// prepare the message body
$message = '' . $_POST['Name'] . "\n";
$message .= '' . $_POST['E-mail'] . "\n";
$message .= '' . $_POST['Phone'] . "\n";
$message .= '' . $_POST['Message'];
// send the email
mail($to, $subject, $message, null, '');
header('Location: http://www.mysite.co.uk/thankyou.html');
?>

Mr powers gave me that script so im rather confused at this point in time
I don't think I "gave" you that script. I might have corrected a problem with it, but I certainly didn't write the original script.
What you're using is far from perfect, but to suggest it would lay you open to MySQL injection attacks is ludicrous. For you to be prone to MySQL injection, you would need to be entering the data into a MySQL database, not sending it by email.
There is a malicious attack known as email header injection, which is a serious problem with many PHP email processing scripts. However, to be prone to email header injection, you would need to use the fourth argument of mail() to insert form data into the email headers. Since your fourth argument is null, that danger doesn't exist.
One thing that might be worth doing is checking that the email address doesn't contain a lot of illegal characters, because that's a common feature of header injection attacks. This is how I would tidy up your script:
<?php
$suspect = '/Content-Type:|Bcc:|Cc:/i';
// send the message only if the E-mail field looks clean
if (preg_match($suspect, $_POST['E-mail'])) {
header('Location: http://www.example.com/sorry.html');
exit;
} else {
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Feedback form results';
// prepare the message body
$message = 'Name: ' . $_POST['Name'] . "\n";
$message .= 'E-mail: ' . $_POST['E-mail'] . "\n";
$message .= 'Phone: ' . $_POST['Phone'] . "\n";
$message .= 'Message: ' . $_POST['Message'];
// send the email
mail($to, $subject, $message);
header('Location: http://www.example.com/thankyou.html');
exit;
?>
Create a new page called sorry.html, with a message along the lines of "Sorry, there was an error sending your message". Don't put anything about illegal attacks. Just be neutral.
By the way, when posting questions here, don't use meaningless subject lines, such as "Quick script question". If you're posting here, it's almost certain to be a question about a script. It doesn't matter whether it's quick. Use the subject line to tell people what it's about.

Hopefully a quick question?

I am wanting to find out if there is a way to upload any additional options to PSE 7. Most importantly Font types.
Since Adobe doesn't seem to have any support network at all, employees actually working at a facility, or the support portion of this site is just completely screwed up. I thought that I would ask the quetion here.
Thanks for any help. Chris

Thank you very much. I knew that it was going to be an easy question for someone.

Quick naming question

Wasnt sure if its a naming issue or not but Ive never ran into the problem and Im not sure how to describe it....so here goes.
Question: Is there a way to insert a string into the name of a component name and have java see it as the actual component name. (see that question still sounds incorrect)
What I mean is......
you have 10 buttons named oneB, twoB, threeB,......tenB
I need to either change a whole lot of code and make what I want to be simple, very large and complex or, find a way to....
"one"B.setLocation(whereverNotImportant);
or
(someObject.getString( ) ) + B.setLocation(whereverNotImportant);
It looks really odd to me. If theres a way to do it, it just saved me a lot of annoyance.....if not well, Im gonna need more energy drinks.

Urgent help with quick translation questions

Hello,
I am somewhat new to Java. I have a translation to hand in in a few hours (French to English). Argh! I have questions on how I worded some parts of the translation (and also if I understood it right). Could you, great developers, please take a look and see if what I wrote makes sense? I've put *** around the words I wasn't sure about. If it sounds strange or is just plain wrong, please let know. I also separated two terms with a slash, when I was in doubt of which one was the best.
Many thanks in advance.
1) Tips- Always ***derive*** the exceptions java.lang.Exception and java.lang.RuntimeException.
Since these exceptions have an excessively broad meaning, ***the calling layers will not know how to
distinguish the message sent from the other exceptions that may also be passed to them.***
2) The use of the finally block does not require a catch block. Therefore, exceptions may be passed back to the
calling layers, while effectively freeing resources ***attributed*** locally
3) TIPS- Declare the order for SQL ***statements/elements*** in the constant declaration section (private static final).
Although this recommendation slightly hinders reading, it can have a significant impact on performance. In fact, since
the layers of access to data are ***low level access***, their optimization may be readily felt from the user’s
perspective.
4) Use “inlining.”
Inlining is a technique used by the Java compiler. Whenever possible, during compilation, the compiler
copies the body of a method in place of its call, rather than executing a ***memory jump to the method***.
In the example below, the "inline" code will run twice as fast as the ***method call***
5)tips - ***Reset the references to large objects such as arrays to null.***
Null in Java represents a reference which has not been ***set/established.*** After using a variable with a
large size, it must be ***reassigned a null value.*** This allows the garbage collector to quickly ***recycle the
memory allocated*** for the variable
6) TIPS Limit the indexed access to arrays.
Access to an array element is costly in terms of performance because it is necessary to invoke a verification
that ***the index was not exceeded.***
7) tips- Avoid the use of the “Double-Checked Locking” mechanism.
This code does not always work in a multi-threaded environment. The run-time behavior ***even depends on
compilers.*** Thus, use the following ***singleton implementation:***
8) Presumably, this implementation is less efficient than the previous one, since it seems to perform ***a prior
initialization (as opposed to an initialization on demand)***. In fact, at runtime, the initialization block of a
(static) class is called when the keyword MonSingleton appears, whether there is a call to getInstance() or
not. However, since ***this is a singleton***, any occurrence of the keyword will be immediately followed by a
call to getInstance(). ***Prior or on demand initializations*** are therefore equivalent.
If, however, a more complex initialization must take place during the actual call to getInstance, ***a standard
synchronization mechanism may be implemented, subsequently:***
9) Use the min and max values defined in the java.lang package classes that encapsulate the
primitive numeric types.
To compare an attribute or variable of primitive type integer or real (byte, short, int, long, float or double) to
***an extreme value of this type***, use the predefined constants and not the values themselves.

1) Tips- Always ***derive*** the exceptions java.lang.Exception and java.lang.RuntimeException.***inherit from***
***the calling layers will not know how to
distinguish the message sent from the other exceptions that may also be passed to them.***That's OK.
while effectively freeing resources ***attributed*** locally***allocated*** locally.
3) TIPS- Declare the order for SQL ***statements/elements*** in the constant declaration section (private static final).***statements***, but go back to the author. There is no such thing as a 'constant declaration section' in Java.
Although this recommendation slightly hinders reading, it can have a significant impact on performance. In fact, since
the layers of access to data are ***low level access***, their optimization may be readily felt from the user’s
perspective.Again refer to the author. This isn't true. It will make hardly any difference to the performance. It is more important from a style perspective.
4) Use “inlining.”
Inlining is a technique used by the Java compiler. Whenever possible, during compilation, the compiler
copies the body of a method in place of its call, rather than executing a ***memory jump to the method***.
In the example below, the "inline" code will run twice as fast as the ***method call***Refer to the author. This entire paragraph is completely untrue. There is no such thing as 'inlining' in Java, or rather there is no way to obey the instruction given to 'use it'. The compiler will or won't inline of its own accord, nothing you can do about it.
5)tips - ***Reset the references to large objects such as arrays to null.***Correct, but refer to the author. This is generally considered bad practice, not good.
Null in Java represents a reference which has not been ***set/established.******Initialized***
After using a variable with a
large size, it must be ***reassigned a null value.*** This allows the garbage collector to quickly ***recycle the
memory allocated*** for the variableAgain refer author. Correct scoping of variables is a much better solution than this.
***the index was not exceeded.******the index was not out of range***
The run-time behavior ***even depends on compilers.***Probably a correct translation but the statement is incorrect. Refer to the author. It does not depend on the compiler. It depends on the version of the JVM specification that is being adhered to by the implementation.
Thus, use the following ***singleton implementation:***Correct.
it seems to perform ***a prior initialization (as opposed to an initialization on demand)***.I would change 'prior' to 'automatic pre-'.
***this is a singleton***That's OK.
***Prior or on demand initializations***Change 'prior' to 'automatic'.
***a standard
synchronization mechanism may be implemented, subsequently:***I think this is nonsense. I would need to see the entire paragraph.
***an extreme value of this type******this type's minimum or maximum values***
I would say your author is more in need of a technical reviewer than a translator at this stage. There are far too serious technical errors in this short sample for comfort. The text isn't publishable as is.

Quick NativeWindow questions.

Hi,
Two Quick Questions about native window actions (I am using AIR with HTML and JS):
1. How do you "refer" to minimize button ? - So, when a user clicks minimize, it should do an action defined in javascript.
2. How to define click event for System tray icon ? - So I can display something when my system tray icon is double-clicked.
Thanks.

1. Add an event listener to the window.nativeWindow object, listening for the NativeWindowDisplayStateEvent.DISPLAY_STATE_CHANGING or DISPLAY_STATE_CHANGE events.
2. Add an event listener to your SystemTrayIcon object. You can listen for click, mouseUp or mouseDown events, but doubleClick events are not dispatched by this object.

Weblogic Messaging Bridge Question

          I am using the Weblogic Messaging Bridge and I have a question regarding Transactions.
          I am using the bridge to integrate MQ Series with Weblogic JMS.
          If I want to send messages over the the bridge and have it wrapped in a transaction
          do I wrap my code where I send the message across on the Queue within a User Transaction
          or do I wrap it in a Global Transaction?


Anuj,
          In your situation, if I remember correctly, use a JTA transaction to post
          the message to WL queue. Make sure that the bridge is configured with XA
          connection factory to move the message to MQ. The bridge will start an
          internal transaction and synchronously move messages to MQ and then it's
          upto your adapter code to dequue the message from MQ within transaction.
          On the receiving side, the adapter would put the message in MQ
          (transationally if you prefer), the bridge would move the message to WL
          destination within a transaction (assuming it is configured correctly). You
          could then use a MDB with container transaction to dequeue the message and
          invoke your business logic.
          Feel free to send me an email if you have further questions. You can also
          contact Helen. I am on the road, so I would not have access to my emails
          until I get back to the hotel.
          Once you are ready to move to 7.0 we could come back and see what hop can we
          remove.
          Hope this helps.

Okay quick easy question for all who have successfully uploaded videos

hi, this is my first post in the Apple forums!
my quick question:
I have Quicktime Pro, and am currently exporting a video to the iPod
but it is taking an unusually long time...
is this normal (and by long I mean I'm @ 16% and it has been 5 minutes)
do I just need to be more patient?
thanks
^_^

don't say that...
I successfully uploaded videos to my iPod I just was not doing it right
my question has been answered already so STOP BRINGING IT UP AGAIN
also, look... many people just got their iPods today and are kinda anxious to see the video capibilities work on them, so If you do not have anything constructive to say (by calling us n00bs), then I suggest you don't say anything at all
iPod video, Dell modded Windows XP Windows XP > your macs
