How do I stop PSE8 from overwriting raw files?

I evidently did something wrong. I wanted to edit my camera raw file but save the finished product as a JPEG. When I was finished, I noticed the raw file is now changed the same as the JPEG.
I made edits in Adobe Camera Raw Editor and clicked on Open Image to import the changes to the PSE8 Editor. Is this proper? I am learning PSE8 and am a little mixed up on use of the Camera Raw Editor and transferring the file to PSE8's Editor.
I don't really want to ever make any changes to the Raw files. I wanted to keep them original. Must I make those files "Read Only" in Windows to protect the files?
I have tried searching for info about this, with little success. I evidently can't find the right terminology for the search.
Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Gary.

What you describe isn't possible. PSE never changes a raw photo; in fact, it can't change a raw photo — the software simply doesn't have the capability.
Perhaps, if you are looking at the Organizer, you are looking at the JPG in a "Version Set", where in this instance the Organizer only shows the JPG and not the RAW. You should be able to uncover the RAW (which is "hidden below" the JPG in the Version Set) by right-clicking on the JPG in the Organizer and selecting Version Set->Expand...

Sounds good to me. I should point out that normally, you would do as many edits as possible in Adobe Camera Raw; and then only use the PSE Editor if you need to make edits that can't be done in ACR (for example, layers). You would NOT create a JPG or TIF or PSD if ACR did all the editing you need; in that case click on Done.

Trust me, your original RAW files are not changed at all.

[SOLVED] How Can I Stop DHCPCD from Overwriting my /etc/resolv.conf...

Hey guys,
For some unknown reason /etc/dhcpcd.conf continually overwrites my /etc/resolv.conf file, eventhough I set the "nohook resolv.conf" hook in /etc/dhcpcd.conf.
This is screwing up my DNS and intermittently creating connection problems. Any of you guys know why the hook is not taking effect or how I can stop dhcpcd from overwritting this file?
Thanks

I changed my DNS to the Google one (8.8.8.8 or something). That's in "resolv.conf", isn't it? I remember editing some OTHER configuration file, which is then read to create the "resolve.conf" file. There it is, in that link to the wiki, under "Use resolv.conf.head". Does that help you do what you want to do?
There's three techniques at the wiki link, the nohook one, the resolv.conf.head one and the write-protection attribute.

How do I stop LR4 from organizing imported files into a folder by date.

How do I stop LR4 from organizing imported files into a folder by date. Most times when I import files I have already created a folder and sub-folder structure tyat I want to use. I then right click the desired folder and choose import into this folder option. Why does LR4 insist on organizing my already selected destination into a sub-folder with a date by default?

TimHillPhotography23 wrote:

If you do it this way all the time consider a different approach:
Manually copy your images from the card into your desired destination folder in the Finder/Explorer. Once complete drag&drop that entire folder into Lightroom. When the import dialog pops up select to Add the images to the catalog (not copy or move). You will end up with the exact folder structure reflected in your library.

How can I stop Firefox from opening (to "File Not Found") when opening my Opera browser?

Ever since I installed Opera 10.61 on my new computer (Windows 7 Ultimate operating system), whenever I open Opera, Firefox opens one second later with the following error message:
'''File not found '''
Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Users/Nasheed/AppData/Local/Opera/Opera/temporary_downloads/client-en.xml.
* Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
* Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.
TRY AGAIN.
<nowiki>****************************************************</nowiki><br />
This happens EVERY TIME I OPEN THE OPERA BROWSER. How can I stop this from happening? I'm stumped.
[EXTRA INFO - I was unable to enable Firefox to access my previous profile on the new computer (despite putting the old profile in the appropriate Mozilla Firefox folder. So, there are now two profiles in that location.
After reading the answer to another forum member's question, I attempted to resolve the problem using Profile Manager, but I was unable to locate the Profile Manager. The Windows "Search" feature is not enabled on my new computer (nor can it be enabled from the Customize Start Menu options).]

Thank you for your response, Cor-el.
I had Opera set as my default browser since this began happening. I changed my default browser back to Firefox mainly because having Firefox open one or two seconds every time I open Opera was/is such a nuisance.
I believe this problem began because I attempted to manually transfer the files from my old computer to the new one (via the backed up files in my external drive). I was unfamiliar with Windows 7 when I did this. Microsoft changed the file set up from what I had been used to in Windows XP. I used XP for six years before being exposed to Windows 7 (I never had Vista).
I'm almost sure this problem has something to do with where I placed the application data when I was trying to reestablish the program set up on the new computer.

How can I stop Lion from overwriting my apache conf files

I am at the point of abandoning OS X forever and returning to loading NetBSD on macs. I have never been so angry at a piece of Apple software.
On reboot, the server completely wiped out my apache configuration and rebuilt it. Thankfully I had backups.
How I can prevent Lion from interfering with my apache setup? I will NEVER use that crappy admin tool again. Webmin is FAR superior to it if I need a GUI tool. I can live in the shell very happily. I don't want to have to install a new webserver from source if I can avoid it. I just want to stop Lion from destroying my conf files.
How do I wrest control from this monster?

All we did was not modify httpd.conf other than adding an include at the end. If you put your content in other files, it doesn't seem to mess with them.

How do I stop lightroom from modifying JPEG files?

During the Beta phase, I pretty much used lightroom only on RAW files. Now, with V1.0, I have had occassion to use this program on JPEGS produced by a P&S camera.
Hmmm. It appears that lightroom is writing data to the files. . .Is there anyway to force the program to use independent sidecar files, like it does for RAW? Manipulating JPEGS is a *major* draw back.
(So far. . I have been smart enough to only feed lightroom *copies* of files. . .so no data has been corrupted yet)
Thanks for your help.

Yes, Lightroom V1.0 is DEFINATLY writing data to JPEG files.
I would VERY STRONGLY prefer sidecar files, as I do not want to ever modify the "as shot" files.
Simply NOT USING the sidecar data, however, is silly. How else do you know what has been done to the images? I have now developed the following (really cludgy yet effective) work practice:
1) When storing files, I immediately create a "modified" and "Original" image directory. (Yes, this effectively DOUBLES storage requirements).
2) The original files are immediately tagged as "read only" within XP. This stops (I hope) lightroom from messing with them if I make a mistake.
3) I import the "modified" files into lightroom for image handling. I allow lightroom to modify these files to it's hearts content.
This seems to be working well for me. I have had to move some directories around, and have "reimported" the modified JPEGs into lightroom: Lightroom correctly (I think) maintained all the edits from my original pass at the files. I have not checked if the histories are lost. . .but that is not a big deal, as I only care about the end result.
BUT. . . I still would STRONGLY prefer a sidecar file.
PS: This is my biggest nit-pick with lightroom so far. Except that I suspect that Lightroom V1.0 (with 200 images in the library so for) appears slower than Lightroom B4.1

How can I stop iTunes from numbering ripped files?

How can I stop iTunes 11.2.1 from automatically adding numbering before track titles when I rip files from a CD? I used to be able to do this generations of iTunes ago but later versions don't seem to offer an option to turn this off. All ideas, tips, suggestions and hints welcome.

Thanks very much for your reply. I'm not ripping music but rather audiobook CDs which I then use Audiobook Builder to create audiobooks I can "read" on my iDevice. On the odd occasion iTunes will "recognize" the audiobook CD and offer to import metadata for it ... which is almost always incorrect. Thus, I usually decline the metadata import and enter the appropriate and correct metadata via Get Info. Then, when I import the files from the CD, iTunes automatically numbers each file ahead of the file title. I was previously able to disable this behavior but I can't find any way to do so in iTunes 11.2.1. Some have said TinkerTool used to provide this feature but no longer does. I don't know if TinkerTool has a Mavericks-compatible version - I'll have to check that out. If not, then I'm still trying to find a way to disable automatic track numbering in iTunes when ripping audiobook CDs. Thanks again for your reply ... I 'preciate it.

How do I stop QuickTime from changing music files to movie files?

I use iTunes exclusively for music & have recently noticed that downloaded files (usually midi files) are showing up in my iTunes library as QuickTime movie files. I usually use Firefox for music downloads but occasionally use AOL, which uses IE. To the best of my knowledge everything to do with music is set to use iTunes, not QuickTime. Now that it's happened I have to go to each & every file & have iTunes convert it to an mp3 when I own a converter that can change all midi files to mp3s at once but can't change QuickTime movie files to mp3s. Why is this happening & how can I stop it?

I have the same issue with Safari opening Web PDF links in Quicktime. When I click on a PDF URL the Quicktime logo will display in Safari, then the first page of the PDF will come up, and only the first page will be available, there is no way to scroll to subsequent pages. I have not found any settings in Safari, Quicktime, or Adobe Reader to turn that off. How can I get Quicktime to not be the default imbedded reader for PDF in Safari.

How do I stop iTunes from overwriting existing songs?

I am attempting to import selections from multiple CDs that all have the same volume and artist name. When I import another selection from a different disc iTunes automatically begins to overwrite the existing track. I've asked the creator of the discs for help and they gave me an explanation of Gracenotes, etc. and said to use the help menu to change the names. I have changed the name, artist and album of the existing track using Get Info, but iTunes still overwrites. I run Win 7 and iTunes 10.6.1.7.

3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more. Close the get info window.
5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.

How can I stop iCloud from overwriting my bookmarks recovered by a restore from computer?

I am moving to a new iPad. I made the mistake of deleting my bookmarks on the old iPad before resetting it to factory settings. As a result I have somehow got no bookmarks in iCloud. When I do a full restore from computer I get my bookmarks back but only until I connect to the internet when iCloud immediately overwrites the recovered bookmarks with no bookmarks.
I've tried pretty much everything I can think of including deleting everything I see in iCloud Control Panel/Manage Storage. However these (non) bookmarks are obviously kept somewhere else that I can't find.
I need to replace the iCloud bookmarks with the ones I recover from the computer restore. How do I do that?
Thanks.

Touch Copy appears to be now named iPhone Backup Extractor (although it works for iPads as well). It appears to deal only with any backups you may have on the computer it's installed on, not with the device itself. So if you have no computer backup where the lost info can be found then this software is no use.
Happily, I do have a very recent (2 days ago) computer backup, albeit encrypted. It seems to be necessary to buy the software to get it to do what you want. I succeeded in extracting the bookmarks as a bookmarks.db file from my encrypted computer backup of the iPad.
Then it's necessary to use more software, SQLite, to extract the information from the bookmarks.db file. This software is free but seriously geeky, not at all user friendly. I have managed to obtain a .csv file from the bookmarks.db file which is at least readable, but not able to be imported into Firefox which appears to accept only .html files for importing bookmarks.
Likewise, Safari doesn't appear to accept for import either .db (the iPad file type ironically) or .csv and neither IE nor Chrome won't accept other than .html etc files.
SQLite would seem to be off the mark in not offering .html and its cousins as export formats. And given .db is in fact useless without SQLite and SQLite is both difficult to use and in any event doesn't solve the problem, it would seem obvious IPhone Backup Extractor needs to look at providing conversion of .db files to .html files. But the proper solution is for Apple to enable the overriding of iCloud information with restored from backup information.
What I have now is a .db file of my precious bookmarks which appears to be unusable with any Apple product to override the wretched dominance of iCloud. Absurd that iCloud actually prevents one from restoring an iPad to an earlier time. What's the point of restore if iCloud is going to subvert it each time?
Anyone who has any thoughts towards a solution would be most welcome!

How do I stop Adobe from overwriting my font format when I enable data in my form?

I'm using Adobe X but I also have access to Adobe 8. When I save my form with updated format (I change the input size in my form to Helvetica 10) it defaults back to Times New Romans 8 when I test it in Reader. Does anyone have any solutions? I'm stuck on this one!

If you are trying to restore your contacts from an iCloud backup, you have to follow the steps in this user tip: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup. This involves disabling your internet connection just after your device restarts as it is backing up, then turning off iCloud syncing on your device and keeping a copy of your contacts on it when prompted. Then you can restore the internet connection, allow you device to re-connect to iCloud and finish restoring. Then delete any contacts from iCloud.com*, turning contacts syncing on again in Settings>iCloud and choose Merge at the prompt.
* If the contacts on iCloud.com are not contained in the backup, you can download them as a vCard as explained here before deleting them: iCloud: Export contact information as a vCard. Then you can import this vCard back to your iCloud account as explained here: iCloud: Import a vCard after you're done merging the restored contacts from your phone as discussed above.

Stop updates from overwriting .service files?

I've looked for some time and can't seem to find the answer. Every time lirc is updated with pacman it overwrites my custom lirc.service file, the only search result i've found mentions using NoUpgrade with pacman but that was from 2010 and doesn't seem to be in the pacman man file any longer?

Thank you! That's what I needed to get it to accept my conf tweak for cronie - it wouldn't accept a second ExecStart line and it wasn't clear how to override it. I remembered something vaguely but I couldn't find anything easily when I searched. (Is there documentation on this?)
Also, how would you use this to adapt a particular instance of a template? I actually tried this and I have now managed to mess up the getty on tty even though I thought I'd backed out all my changes. So I'm a bit wary.
I tried creating
# [email protected]/TTYVTDisallocate-BLOCK.conf
[Service]
TTYVTDisallocate=no
but it did not work quite as expected. Trying to change it back, I removed this directory etc. but tty1 is still allocated, I think (I can still log in there) and I have no idea why.
I'm actually really not clear how the getty service affects only tty1 anyway except that it seems that tty2-6 are created with generators rather than with this service so it effectively only applies to tty1.

How do I stop iTunes from duplicating video files?

For some reason unknown to me, iTunes duplicates the video files when they are added to the library.
For music, when I add these to the library, the files stay on the external drive, and they are listed in the library.
However, I now moved my video files to an extrnal drive, but when I want to add them back into my library, it wants to copy all of them (the full file) from the external drive to my itunes folder. I moved them off of the computer hard drive because they take up too much space. I don't want them here, but I do want them in the library so I can select and sync them.
How do I add these videos to my itunes library, but keep the actual files on the extrnal drive?

Turn off the option "Copy to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" under Edit > Preferences > Advanced.

How can I stop it from looking for files?

When I start iMovie, I seem to get stuck in a loop where it is looking for old files I have deleted. I don't have space on my harddrive to keep all my movie files, so once I have finished a project, I just get rid of everything. The problem is, when I start up iMovie again, it keeps looking for the files and I get "The Movie file "xxx-xxxx" cannot be found. Without this file the movie cannot play properly." I click cancel, but the error keeps repeating. How can I get out of this loop?

How can I get out of this loop?
Try deleting iMovie's preference file. This can be found in your user folder Library>Preferences. The file is named "com.apple.iMovie8.plist". Close iMovie before trashing the file. When next opened iMovie will create a new file with the default settings. You may need to change some settings to suit your own preference.
It's best to delete files from within iMovie - not externally using the Finder. But, rather than delete them, why not store your Events on an external drive - you may need to use some clips in another project later. Project files are quite small as they contain only text references to the various items (assets) that comprise your project - therefore there is little point in deleting them. Also, check out the "Consolidate Media" function in iMovie, which lets you move/copy everything associated with a project (including Events, music etc) to another location.
