How do you remember why you created a virtual copy?

Virtual copies are really usefull but I'm already starting to struggle to remember why I created them (is this a senior moment...)
I look in a folder where I've created various virtual copies for different crop sizes, exposures, toning etc. The trouble is this isn't always obvous and I find myself having to look at each image it turn and working out why it's here.
Just wondered if anyone has the same problem and have any suggestions for solving it. I'm currently thinking of using a metadata field - perhaps job title?

In Metadata you could note something under Workflow.

  • How can you create a virtual copy in a Lightroom plugin?

    I looked over the Lightroom SDK and did not see any documentation on creating a virtual copy. Is there an undocumented API for this?
    If not, is there a plan to add this into the SDK?

    Hi Matt,
    Yeah, I have some good news and some bad news:
    - Good news: Keyboard stuffing (as implemented in the elare framework) works equally well on both platforms, provided the appropriate keystroke exists on both platforms.
      (Mac version uses applescript, Windows uses autohotkey - both assure Lightroom is the target) - Note: @2011-07-30, I haven't actually tested this particular function on Mac - but I've tested other similar functions on both platforms.
    - Bad news: It doesn't always work on either platform, since keystrokes may be usurped by open dialog boxes and open text fields in Lightroom...
    - Good news: failure is 100% detectable.
    Bottom line:
    If the kludgy nature of this solution would be more bad than good for you and/or your users, then this is not a viable solution.
    If your users would prefer the caveats in order to be able to get the job, then this solution will work well enough for now.
    PS - I'm presently using it in ChangeManager and its a godsend for me. Since I understand the limitations, my failure rate is appx. 0%.

  • I have Lightroom version 4.3, Can not activate -Simulate Paper & Ink, have created a virtual Copy

    I have Lightroom 4.3, but can not activate Simulate Paper & Ink, have created a virtual copy and checked softproofing

    I can't reproduce this problem. It works fine here.
    This problem could be due to a corrupt Preference File. This file can go "funny" and is then responsible for all kinds of strange behavior of Lr. The remedy is replacing the Preference File.
    BTW: Re-installing Lr ddoes not replace the Pref. File since it is designed to "survive" upgrades.

  • How to hide some buttons like CREATE PURCHASE ORDER, COPY, EDIT from POWL?

    In SRM 7 ECS we need to hide some buttons like CREATE PURCHASE ORDER, COPY, EDIT from POWL"s. We can do some manipulation via security but we need to make a few buttons invisible without security. Appreciate any advice. Thanks.

    Hi Ashwanin
    To make read only
    Below are the steps to Hide the buttons in POWL table
    1. if you want to Gray out the Buttons
        IMG > SRM SERVER> Cross Application Basic Settings --> Extensions and Field Control. There you will find a node to control   Actions. based on the object type choose your option and make it as read only
    To Make invisible
    1.If you want to  make invisible  the button .
    IMG > SRM SERVER> Cross Application Basic Settings --> Powl and Advance Search - > Adjust powl layout ,search criteria and push button (OR) t-code :   /SAPSRM/POWL_CUST
    2.choose the POWL type for the POWl table
    3.click on Action node , you will find all the acction assigned for the POWL table ,delete the entry which you want to make invsible and save it
    4 .Now run the report POWL_D01 and provide powl type in the selection criteria and deleate the catche quries

  • Is it possible to create a "virtual" copy of an object in illustrator?

    In other words, lets say that I've got an object (that might be a simple object like a square, or a complicated group, or anything).
    I can select the object, copy it and then paste it at some other location, but now it is a separate object.
    What I'd like to do is make a "virtual" copy of the object, so that if any modifications are done to one of the copies, they are also done to the other copy. I.e., if I change the color of one sub-object in one of the virtual copies, the color also changes in the corresponding sub-object of the other virtual copy.
    Note that this is similar to lightrooms virtual copy feature of images, but in that case, the modifications are separate even though the underlying image stayes the same. What I'm asking about here is for the ability to "link" objects together.
    BTW, the basic reason I want this is for the following reason: I want to have an object occur in more than one artboard, but if I modify the object in one artboard, I'd like it to also be modified in the second artboard. It is not feasible to have the artboards overlap over *just* the object that I need (as that would in some sense solve the problem, and in fact does solve the problem in some limited circumstances, but not all of them, namely those where the two arboards need to have other also objects along with the common object that do not overlap).
    thanks!

    Just an addition, jb (unless this has changed in the latest version(s)):
    If you want the option to position/align them by anything but the centre of the appearance (including effetcs), you may add a nostroke/nofill rectange/circle centred over the centre of the artwork and extending past its appearance in all directions.

  • It's creating a virtual copy of my external drive on my internal drive

    Hello,
    I have a problem I've never had, and I can't seem to find here with the search terms I'm using. Hopefully someone can help on this thread.
    What happened:
    At some point my MacBook Pro decided to create another version of the external drives, but on the internal drive. So there is folder in /Volumes named exactly
    as my external and now the external drive shows in /Volumes as "name 1".
    My Drives:
    drive_scoure: Lacie external connected direct to MacBook Pro, a backup for drive_frank.
    drive_krate: Lacie external daisy chained through the CalDigit drive. This is my Time Machine drive.
    drive_frank: CalDigit Firewire VR connected direct to MacBook Pro, holding 300gigs of photos.
    So on my desktop I had each of these drives with their respective icons. Then at some point I plugged them in and, while they show up normally, and even their names look the same. But looking at them in the Terminal the folders and drives show up like:
    /Volumes:
    drive_frank
    drive_frank 1
    drive_frank has now become a folder within /Volumes. drive_frank 1 is how the external drive is now named (but on the desktop it is labeled as drive_frank)
    A couple months later it happened again with drive_scoure. Showing up in /Volumes as drive_scoure and drive_scoure 1. drive_scoure 1 being the actual external drive.
    So now the files meant for drive_scoure end up on my internal MacBook Pro drive. Since the labels didn't change on the desktop I didn't notice until I ran out of space.
    So how can I fix this and keep it from happening again?

    enter commandshiftg in finder and in the resulting popup enter /Volumes
    this will open /Volumes in a finder window. that folder contains all the mount points for all your hard drives. regular ones will look like aliases. the fake one will look like a regular folder. delete it and empty trash. if there is something inside you need copy it somewhere else first.
    this sometimes happens when a drive is unmounted improperly. there is no real cure to prevent it.

  • FAQ: Creating PDF Files from FrameMaker v.6 & earlier Documents -- Why you should not use "save as PDF"! -- Windows & MacOS Only!

    An issue that has come up over and over again on several FrameMaker and Acrobat/PDF email lists as well on the corresponding Adobe User-to-User forums is that of creation of PDF files. FrameMaker 5.5.6 and 6 have what looks like a convenient feature that is supposed to allow you to create PDF files via simply saving the document as a PDF file. I have gone on record as advising end-users not to use this approach for reliable creation of PDF files from FrameMaker documents under Windows and MacOS with FrameMaker 6 and earlier. Why do I most vociferously offer this advice and why doesn't the problem get fixed? And how SHOULD you create PDF files from FrameMaker?
    GOOD NEWS
    I will start with the good news. The "next major version" of FrameMaker will indeed have "save as PDF" re-implemented in a manner that it will be as reliable as printing to the "Acrobat Distiller" printer instance under Windows or the "Create Adobe PDF" desktop printer under MacOS. I am personally working with the FrameMaker development organization to make sure this really happens and is fully and properly tested and debugged! Furthermore, this next major revision of FrameMaker, unlike FrameMaker 6, will come with a Distiller installer that will properly install the "Acrobat Distiller" printer instance under Windows and the "Create Adobe PDF" desktop printer on the Macintosh (of course assuring that the latest PostScript driver is also automatically and correctly installed).
    DON'T USE "SAVE AS PDF"
    But what's wrong with "save as PDF" as currently implemented?
    The following are some of the SYMPTOMS reported over the last few years by FrameMaker users that were traced back to use of "save as PDF" under FrameMaker:
    (1) No PDF file is produced at all, possibly with a log file showing not-readily apparent PostScript errors during distillation.
    (2) The PDF file "loses" color in images. All or some images (raster, bitmap images, NOT vector artwork) appear in the PDF file in grayscale.
    (3) The resultant PDF file is on the wrong paper size, i.e., the document's logical page size does not match the output page size as seen in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
    (4) Some or all text in the resultant PDF file is blotchy looking or overly bold.
    (5) Some or all text in the resultant PDF file cannot be searched or indexed.
    (6) Some or all text in the resultant PDF file appears in Courier or in some other substitution font.
    (7) Interword or intercharacter spacing is a bit irregular in the resultant PDF file.
    (8) Content is missing in the margin areas of the page, i.e. you cannot do full-page bleeds.
    (9) Some or all page content is missing (other than margin areas).
    (10) Relatively inefficient PDF is generated.
    If this list by itself isn't enough for you, please note that some of these symptoms are very subtle and may escape attention when the PDF is first viewed or printed. Oftimes, it is when one attempts to manipulate the PDF file in Acrobat or repurpose its content or even view or print on a system other than the one on which the PDF file was created, that some of these symptoms make themselves obnoxiously visible (or invisible in some cases I won't make any bad jokes here about graphic examples!).
    It is important to understand that FrameMaker does NOT have its own native ability to create PDF. Any and all PDF created from FrameMaker documents is actually done by creating PostScript via the PostScript driver and having the Acrobat Distiller create PDF from that PostScript. The only exception to this is creation of PDF via the Acrobat PDFWriter driver, which is likewise not recommended (see below).
    In order for "save as PDF" to work correctly, FrameMaker must do the equivalent of calling Printer Setup and selecting the "Acrobat Distiller" printer instance under Windows or the "Create Adobe PDF" desktop printer under MacOS followed by setting the driver's options correctly for paper size, page range, etc., followed by sending the proper commands to the driver to create PostScript.
    Contrary to popular belief, PostScript as generated by the Windows and MacOS PostScript drivers is VERY device-dependent. The information in the PPD file associated with a printer driver instance provides critical parameters for generation of PostScript including:
    Whether the printer supports color (Acrobat Distiller does)
    What PostScript language level is supported (Acrobat Distiller 4.x and Acrobat Distiller 5.x are both PostScript language level 3)
    Whether native TrueType support is available (Acrobat supports native TrueType as Type 42 fonts)
    Available binary communications (Acrobat Distiller supports pure binary and ASCII, but NOT TCP, TBCP, or PJL)
    Resident fonts (Acrobat Distiller doesn't really have resident fonts)
    Available paper sizes and custom paper size availability (Acrobat Distiller supports a wide range of predefined sizes and continually variable "custom" sizes up to 200" by 200")
    Margins / printable areas (for PDF and the Acrobat Distiller, there are no margins in which imaging is not permitted)
    Device resolution (Acrobat Distiller can be set to any value from 72 to 4000 dpi; as a convenience, the Acrobat Distiller PPD provides a series of values for use by the driver. Since there is no inherent "resolution" of a PDF file, this parameter is used only for purposes of allowing PostScript programs that query for such a value to be satisfied and for the driver to be able to communicate this value to the operating system and/or application as required.)
    Paper handling (totally irrelevant to Acrobat Distiller if input or output tray selection via "setpagedevice" is found in the PostScript stream, it is ignored by Acrobat Distiller)
    Thus, if the wrong printer driver instance is selected (i.e., it isn't associated with the Acrobat Distiller PPD file) or that driver instance is improperly configured, improper PostScript will result and one or more of the symptoms described above can occur. As currently implemented, FrameMaker depending upon version will not necessarily choose the correct printer driver instance and/or correctly parameterize the print job via driver setup options. In fact, FrameMaker 5,5,6 might even try to generate PDF via calling a PCL driver, FAX driver, or even a non-PostScript inkjet printer!
    DON'T USE PDFWRITER
    The Acrobat PDFWriter is a relic of older versions of Acrobat. In fact, it is no longer installed by default in the "easy install" or the "typical install" of Acrobat 5. It hasn't really be updated since Acrobat 3 and only supports PDF 1.2. It is a GDI (Windows) / QuickDraw (MacOS) driver that directly generates PDF without any intermediary PostScript. Since it is not a PostScript printer driver, applications cannot pass through EPS graphics and/or PDFMark information (used for a wide variety of purposes by FrameMaker). For EPS graphics, most applications will send the low resolution TIFF (or PICT) EPS header in lieu of the PostScript text, if they send anything at all, to the driver. Forget about links, structure, or any other PDF "goodies." Expect that PDFWriter will fully "bite the dust" in the next major version of Acrobat.
    SO HOW DO I GENERATE PDF FILES FROM FRAMEMAKER 6 & EARLIER?
    The ONLY method that is really reliable for producing PDF files with FrameMaker 6 and earlier requires the generation of PostScript via a properly set printer driver instance associated with the Acrobat Distiller PPD and distillation of the resultant PostScript by Acrobat Distiller.
    Case 1: FrameMaker and the Full Acrobat 4.05 or Acrobat 5.0x Products
    PDF file from a "chapter" -- print directly to the Acrobat Distiller printer instance (Windows) or the Create Adobe PDF desktop printer (MacOS) already installed by Acrobat. If you check the "Acrobat data" option, then make sure to UNcheck the "print to file" option that gets set at the same time. As a result, the driver will automatically send the generated PostScript to the Distiller for you and delete the intermediate PostScript when done.
    PDF file from a "book" -- print directly to the Acrobat Distiller printer instance with the "print to file" option checked (Windows) or the Virtual Printer desktop printer (MacOS) associated with the Distiller PPD (see details below under Case 2/MacOS). You will need to manually process the resultant PostScript file through the Distiller (or use a "watched folder" arrangement).
    In both the above sub-cases, the default driver options generally will be OK, but check on paper size and communication protocol (Use pure binary, not ASCII, for optimal performance AND no CTRL-D characters under Windows. Make sure to set Level 3 only and Binary under MacOS. Font inclusion "All" for Acrobat 4.05 and "None" for Acrobat 5 under MacOS.). With Acrobat 4.05, make sure you preset the Distiller to use the joboptions you want. With Acrobat 5, you can set this on a job-by-job basis via the driver printer setup interface (or print dialog on MacOS).
    Case 2: FrameMaker 6 and the Bundled Acrobat 4.05 Distiller
    Windows -- Create a new printer driver instance using the latest version of the Adobe Universal PostScript Driver Installer, downloadable from Adobe's web site AND the Acrobat Distiller PPD file (located in the XTRAS subdirectory of the Distiller directory). This driver instance should be set to print to the local port named "FILE:". Name this driver instance as "Acrobat Distiller". The default driver options generally will be OK, but check on paper size and communication protocol (use pure binary, not ASCII, for optimal performance AND no CTRL-D characters). Make sure you preset the Distiller to use the joboptions you want. Print directly to this Acrobat Distiller printer instance. Make sure that the "print to file" option is checked. You will need to manually process the resultant PostScript file through the Distiller (or use a "watched folder" arrangement).
    MacOS -- Install the latest version of AdobePS 8.7.x, downloadable from Adobe's web site. In FrameMaker, go to Page Setup and select the "Virtual Printer" and go to the "Virtual Printer" window pane. Select the Acrobat Distiller PPD file (located in the XTRAS subfolder of the Distiller folder). Print directly to the "Virtual Printer" (Make sure to set Level 3 only, Binary, and font inclusion "All".). Make sure you preset the Distiller to use the joboptions you want. You will need to manually process the resultant PostScript file through the Distiller (or use a "watched folder" arrangement).
    Case 3: Acrobat 3
    Acrobat 3 is not officially supported for the latest OS versions and I personally would no longer recommend its use for generation of PDF files given that Acrobat 5.0.5 is the current version of Acrobat.

    You're asking a lot of ancient Acrobat to work with an Office that never existed when it was made. "Just updated my office suite" is a massive change, and Window 8 didn't exist at that time either...

  • How many iCloud accounts can you create on Mac?

    I use different emails for different purposes (subscriptions,  shopping, forums, iTunes, etc.). With that in mind, I created 3 iCloud email accounts on my iPad and upon trying to register a 4th one I was told that this device is no longer eligible to create an iCloud account. Anyways, does the same rule apply to Macs (3 IDs per device)?

    Why not create aliases to your primary iCloud mail account for those other email needs.  That way you can access all emails from each of your devices with the same email client, Mail. On your Mac Just create a Rule to put emails to each alias in its own specific folder.

    How will have an option to create an icloud id

    Hello there, vishal274.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides a great FAQ that provides some great answers to some of the more common questions about iCloud, including yours:
    Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4436
    How do I sign up for iCloud?
    You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Just follow the setup instructions for your iOS device or Mac.
    You may need to verify the email address that you use for your Apple ID. See Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID for more information.
    I had a free Find My iPhone account. How do I sign up for iCloud?
    Update the devices that you use with Find My iPhone to iOS 5 (iOS 6 recommended). When you're asked to enter an Apple ID during setup, enter the Apple ID you were using for Free Find My iPhone. Your account will be automatically updated to iCloud.
    I had a MobileMe account. How do I sign up for iCloud?
    To use your MobileMe account for iCloud, follow the iCloud setup instructions and enter your @me.com or @mac.com email address as your Apple ID. If you had an @me.com address, it will be reactivated for email when you sign up for iCloud. If you had an @mac.com address, it won't be reactivated for email, but you can set up a new @icloud.com email address to use with iCloud.
    Important: You will need a verified email address associated with your @me.com or @mac.com Apple ID to set up iCloud. To add a verified email address, go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), sign in with your @me.com or @mac.com email address, and add a valid email address to your account.

    Well this is what I thought too but I don't think I'm doing something right. I have a default website on port 80 and I created a second site on the same port. They are two different websites. One is the initial one that comes stock with the osx. The second one I created.
    When I browse to my server I get the second site. How can I get the default to be the one that points to the mail, wiki, calendar stuff, while my second domain is something totally different.
    http://myserver (should be the default stuff like mail.)
    http://myserver/mysecondsite (should be my other stuff.)
    The problem is that when I go to http://myserver it is going to http://myserver/mysecondsite
    What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

    How to erase and reset your Galaxy S6 (and why you'd want to) | Android Central

    Hi,
    I'm in the same boat. I have an older 13" black MacBook and bought a new 13" MacBook Pro. Your outline isnt' what I experience, yet it's similar to the Apple Article at
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1820
    They have the following steps:
    These steps assume you have a Mac OS X 10.2.3 or later CD:
    1. Insert the Mac OS X CD.
    2. Restart the computer.
    3. Immediately after the startup sound, press and hold the "C" key to start up from CD.
    4. When the Installer screen appears, do not click Continue. Instead, choose Installer > Open Disk Utilities.
    5. Select the hard drive to erase.
    6. Click the Erase tab.
    7. Select the volume format from the Volume Format pop-up menu.
    8. Click Options.
    9. Select the checkbox for "Zero all data".
    10. Click OK.
    11. Click Erase
    I'm not sure if I'm obtaining what I want; Zero erase then reinstall. I'm using my OS X Leopard Install Disk. I did steps 1 - 3. As I held the "C" key, I got a gray screen with the Apple logo and a spinning icon below. It did this for about 3 minutes (my "c" holding finger was getting sore )
    I never got a step 4. It went straight to "Choose a Language" I did: English
    I never got choices 5 to 11.
    I got the screen showing the drive and asking if I want to install. I continued.
    I then opened the "Options" tab. There I could erase existing OS install and then reinstall. There was never a choice for "Zero All Data."
    I'm currently letting it do it's thing and it's in stalling, about 26 mins to go, already been about 20 mins.
    Did I miss something, or is the "zero" option not the same for Leopard?
    Much thanks,

  • How many server nodes can you create per instance

    Hi,
    Very often the bottle neck in a java installation (NW04s) is the heap size. In order to increase the heap you simple create new server nodes.
    My question is:
    How many server nodes can you create per instance?
    Is there an upper limit before you have to create a new dialog instance (with a web dispatcher)?
    I can imagine that when you create a new server node you also have to increase the heap and max therad of the dispatcher. Is there any upper limit of the heap size of the dispatcher node ?

    Rasmus , I think you laid out a real good scenario for every one to contribute
    I may be very late but just updating this forum for benefit of everyone who visits this.
    In addition to all the points above one must also consider following things if one decides to add more server nodes to one dispatcher
    1.Garbage collection time
    2.Dispatcher would keep on sending request to node S2 if it is not completely bad and there by impacting all the servernode       so  you might end up restartiing the entire cluster.
    3,Debugging also becomes diffculy as you are not sure on which server node you are within the cluster.
    4.If you have something like F5 which does hear beat monitoring even one server node goes bad F5 will not report anything.
    So in my view one server node per dispatcher is an ideal configuration.
    Over All Dispatcher does not consume more resouces (Disk Space + CPU + memory ) at the same time it will give you maintenance flexibility.
    Nothing is right or wrong ,all these things are based on how your infrastructure set up is.
    Cheers !!
