How Does Compression affect Integrity of Colours?

When compression doesn't completely mess up the colours, it often simplifies the image, and functionally pixelates it.
The pixelated image above has the same colour balance as the other two.
So how does compression affect the integrity of colours?

Think of an image as having two distinct layers: the black & white layer, over which the color information is laid by the color layer.
Bad compression also uses poor color sampling -- aka color resolution -- to save file size. It will average the values of two adjacent color pixels to create a larger pixel of the avaraged color. If it's REALLY bad -- as in DSLR video and HDV -- it will average the colors of FOUR adjacent pixels an even larger pixel of the average color.
And what do you think that would do to color integrity?

Out-of-place upgrade to 11.2.0.4 (from 11.2.0.3); how does it affect certain items?

Hi All,
I've never done a db patch set update, and from what I've read today, I will need to do a full installation of 11.2.0.4 to have this patch set applied.
This sounds scary and being a rookie Oracle DBA, what does this mean to my existing Oracle Database installation (Oracle 11GR2 on Windows Server 2008R2)?
If I do an out-of-place upgrade (Oracle recommended), and create a new home, what will happen to the existing schemas/etc?
My application is configured to connect to SERVERA, SID=123 so when I install a new home, etc, does this change anything? I've read I need to modify the tnsnames files in my new home to be similar to my current tnsnames file..
Basically, I want to upgrade to patchset 11.2.0.4 b/c it's supposed to address a bug I have, but I want to be able to keep the 'settings' the same for the end users/applications (SERVERA, SID=123).
Thanks in advance

You have to remember that the database software/binaries are separate from the database itself. Typically, you first install the software (like you did for 11.2.0.3) and then create a database. Best practice states that the location of the database files should be outside/different then the location of the binaries.
When you install your new 11.2.0.4 in a new location, that is all that you are doing - the install does not affect the existing database. Once the 11.2.0.4 software is installed, you can upgrade the database by following the steps in the upgrade guide (the database files stay where they are, but the database gets upgraded from 11.2.0.3 to 11.2.0.4) and when the upgrade is completed successfully, the old (11.2.0.3) binaries can be de-installed at leisure.

If an internal ID is changed for the Work Repository how does it affect objects that are already in it? Will they continue to run or do you need to cycle the ODI agent?

I was having trouble migrating the Master and Work repositories from my QA to my Prod environment. I was getting an error message that the internal id's were alike so I changed the internal id in my Prod Master repository. Then I tried to migrate the Work repository and was getting a similar error. I did a search on the internet for the error message and it recommended that I renumber the Work repository so I did. My concern now is how these changes affect the objects that are already in the repositories? Will those objects continue to run? Also do these changes take affect immediately or do you need to cycle the ODI agent?

Well I cannot completely assure you but so far I have not faced any issues after a renumber. It will affect the exist object only when you have imported the object in synonym_update mode. I believe you have the daily backup of your production repository.

Multi value attribute in IB - how does it affect system (crm 4.0)

Hi,
Is there any limitation when using Multi value attribute in set type which is used for Individual object in IB?
I have succeed in implementation of Multi value variable feature in CRM 4.0 . this change is irreversible so I wish to know what are the _risks moving it to production.
(We use IB VERY heavily with single value attributes)
Does it affect performance? other features?
Thanks
Rachel

hi there
due to the pain of sending the single value attribute in production,we usually try create multi value attribute so that multidimensional usefulness takes place.
i really don see any limitation and risk sending those in production,infact it will serve u a good cause there
just procede with that,so far we havent observed any defect doing that in projects
best regards

How does capturing affect the camera?

I only ask because I know a lot of people use decks instead of their primary cameras. And I know its a major concern when buying used equipment to ask if its ever been used as a deck. Lastly, if it does negatively affect the camera; If I shoot something in a mode that my deck doesnt support (eg - 24p on a dvx or xl2 and then use an oldddd canon as a deck) will it capture correctly into the editor? Thanks.

IMO most cameras suffer from little use rather than too much. Regularly exercising your cam is a good thing.
If you are capturing all day every day then a purpose built deck would be the better option.
If I shoot something in a mode that my deck doesnt support (eg - 24p on a dvx or xl2 and then >use an oldddd canon as a deck) will it capture correctly into the editor?
I never tried what you ask but with other formats it's a simple transfer of 0s &1s, so I'd imagine it will work fine as long as tape fits.

TS1538 I am going to have to upgrade to Windpws 8.1 because of the XP problem. How does this affect my iPad

I have to upgrade to Wiindows 8.1 because of the XP problem. Does this affect my iPad?

What xp problem?
Xp works. Just because Microsoft will not be providing updates, this will not change. If you use common sense, which is required for any OS, you are perfectly safe.
If you "upgrade" to windows 8, it is possible iTunes will see the computer as new and require you to resync your devices.
Make sure you backup your iTunes library to an external drive.

How does compressing movie files work?

Hello! I am new here, and with FC i made a 17GB movie. However, i wish to compress it so it doesnt take up as much room on my hard drive. Can i compress this movie file so it takes up much less? How should i compress it? And does it hurt the quality of it or how do i de compress it? Thanks!

Can i compress this movie file so it takes up much less?
Yes. What format is it now, what size are you aiming for? H264 is a good choice, great results and a much smaller file size.
How should i compress it?
Use Compressor or QuickTimePlayers "Export" function -you already have both.
MPEG Streamclip will also make H264 and is a free download. There are several others which you can buy, Autodesk Cleaner and Sorenson Squeeze are two that spring to mind.
And does it hurt the quality of it...
It can turn out poor if the compression is overdone. Test your compression on a small section first -you could mark in and out on part of your movie in QuickTime Player, copy/paste it into a new QuickTime Player document and use that for testing.
or how do i de compress it?
That usually does not turn out so well. Keep the original instead -hard drives are cheap these days. Just buy an external drive and store it there.

The suggested advice in this support article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1478 wasn't a help at all, because the option "enable disc use" in the summary window of itunes doesn't appear.

No mention of the Touch, it works differently from other iPods and has no "disk mode" as such.
I think it can be used as a storage device by using a 3rd party App, search the the App Store for such items.
Photos transferred to your Touch via iTunes will be of severely compromised quality i.e 640x480 pixel resolution and file size around 600-700 kb. These can be retrieved, again using a 3rd party application on your computer, such as [Touch Copy|http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy> but you will not get back original quality images.

Colorblind red/green, how does that affect PS and what are the options.

Like so many men, I am Colorblind (not in full) for red/green. As a photographer I manipulate pictures like all of us. My main tools are LR-3 and PS-5.
I operate in the Pro-Photo colorspace on am Imac with a Eizo graphical monitor all calibrated.
The problem arrises when I start to work on skin and other elements, as I am coloblind (partial) my manipulations tend to result in a bit to redisch pictures. A comment I receive many times.
I don't see it that way, but after a colorblindness test it was comfirmed.
So here is the question: Is there a tool/colorprofile/colospace or whatever that could be used by me as a red/green colorblind person so that I can manipulate the pictures as I would like to.
The colorprofile/space/tool would compensate. Once done with the job I could then simply convert it back to a normal human view. Does this exist ?
Note that I always work with graycard and a ColorChecker from X-rite..
Any recommendation is more then welcome.

Interesting… If I understand the issue correctly, you need the opposite of this:
This shows a person with normal vision how an image will look to a color blind person. I can see how the opposite may pose quite a challenge for the programmers.

Slo-mo applied to sequence or clips - how does it affect transitions?

Usually I edit clips together with cross-fades and then apply slow speed to the sequence rather than individual clips - but I find a bug in 5.0.2 where it renders a still frame part-way through that remains for the rest of the sequence.
So now I paste speed attributes to the rest of individual clips instead of at a seqeuenc level. What I wonder is how the two methods affect transition quality i.e.
method 1: the transition is rendered at as part of a sequence with 60% speed applied
method 2: transition is rendered at normal speed, but it is being applied to clips with 60% speed
No difference in quality?

Hey Catrina
Not sure what the issue is with your application of the 3-Way Color Corrector in the Browser. My guess, is that perhaps you only thought you applied the "saved" instance of the 3-way corrector but instead applied a default neutral instance of the corrector. How did you save the correction you applied to the other instances? A good method is, having applied and tweaked it as needed to a sample clip instance, you can drag a copy of it out of the clip's Filter tab and drop it directly into your Browser window. To check, then double click that Browser instance of the corrector to open it in the Viewer window and see if has the corrections settings as expected and no the default ones. If so, go ahead and drag it to another clip instance in the Browser and then drag that clip to your sequence ... has the correction "stuck" bow? But while we figure it out, for now, why not just apply the saved correction directly to the clips in the sequence? Regarding trashing your preferences ... download Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion. Very straightforward to use.

How does MVC affect me?

I keep reading about the importance of the Model-View-Controller architecture of Swing. I'm not really seeing how it affects me, though. As far as I can tell, I just create my JList, and interact with it using the methods in the API. Are the model and delegate just part of the implementation of the JList, and I don't see them?

Well the way I was told MVC is that you have three parts:
The Model, the View, and the Controller.
The Model(or Domain) is the backend of the program. You dont control it directly.
This is done by the Controller funilly enough. I usually use a class called Action for this.
The View part is your GUI. This is where the I give my inputs and recieve any output.
The Viewer will pass messages to the Action Class which then passes on other messages to the Model, effectively becoming a go-between.

How Does Upgrade Affect iTunes License?

I bought a new G5 an upgrade from a G3.
I bought a new iPod an upgrade from a 1st Generation iPod.
Since I have not "de-authorized" any devices, have I used up 4 licenses per iTunes song? How can I purge my old iPod and give it away to another person, who will gradly fill it with PodCasts?
Thanks, I get nervous on issues of intellectual property. I just want what's fair.

When you authorize a machine, you are authorizing the iTunes installation on the computer.
iTune installation or use does not require any authorization. You mat freely install iTunes on as many machines as you like.
You are authorizing that machine (up to 5) to play songs purchased from your iTMS account on that machine.

As per my information Compression improves the Quaer performance not loading perforamnce
when u do compression the same characterstics which are having the same values those records will be moved to E Fact table
ex Custno   Mat NO Qty   Value
      C101     M101     10      100
      c101     m101      20      200
when u do comperession the recors will be compressed as below
c101   m101 30 300
when the query execution instead of reading two reocrds and compressing at the time of producing output at report level
but when already compressed it fetchs one record directly form E table like that the query perforamnce will be improved.
Not loading perforamnce.

Email address change--how does this affect laptop and nook?

I use my Adobe ID only to authorize my laptop and Nook. I need to change my email address which seems easy on the FAQs, but how do I then reauthorize my laptop and Nook? And, if I do this, are all my existing library books unreadable since they were downloaded by what the Nook thinks is a different user? I'm almost sure I won't be able to return any books in ADE on my laptop, but I can live with that if I can still read the books on the Nook.
Thanks in advance.

The sync process with iTunes transfers the email account settings (for your chosen accounts via your iPhone sync preferences) from the Mail application on your Mac to the iPhone's email application.
The iPhone is running OS X and the iPhone's email client can be considered a mobile version of the Mail application.

Changing Apple ID and how does it affect iCloud?

Hi,
I had no idea where to put this question since it seems to belong in about 3 different sections, but since it involves my iCloud/Apple/iTunes ID then I suppose this is as good as any place.
I've read a few answers to this question but they don't quite supply all the info I'm trying to find so here goes:
I want to change my Apple ID due to the fact that the email address being used is an old, ISP provided, one that I only tend to use these days for mailing list signups etc. Since, when I created my iCloud account when iOS 5 landed, I (stupidly, before reading that most people seem to advise not doing) chose to associate my iCloud ID to my Apple ID I'm finding all iCloud related notifications are coming from/to my Apple ID email address. I don't really want my shared Calendar changes being sent from/to this account as they can get lost in the deluge of cruft. Obviously in an ideal world I would want to change my Apple ID to my iCloud email address so that the notifications would be coming from there, but obviously this isn't possible yet. I live in hope it may be at some point (foolish I know but hope makes me happy). On that topic, I find it ridiculous that all my other 'verified' email addresses in my Apple ID can be used to change my ID to except the Apple provided me.com one due to that "you cannot use a MobileMe address as an Apple ID since it already is an Apple ID" message. I have never been a MobileMe user. Just iCloud. Maybe when MobileMe goes away this restriction might get lifted......unlikely I suppose but again, I can hope.
First question: could I just delete this iCloud account from my devices (including the Mac) and create a new iCloud account but this time choosing NOT to associate it with my Apple ID? I'd lose my current handy iCloud email address, and have to resync contacts etc but it might be worth it.
Secondly, I tried changing my Apple ID yesterday to another verified email address but lost all iCloud access, due to the Apple ID association I guess. If I deleted the iCloud account on the devices and signed back in with the new Apple ID would that bring me back to where I am now just with a different tied Apple ID? By that I mean full access to current contacts, bookmarks etc etc., without having to resync from anywhere?
Thirdly, which ID is it that controls access to iTunes Match? Apple ID or iCloud ID? Since it's part of iTunes in the Cloud it could be either. On my Mac I'm signed into iTunes with my Apple ID obviously. This gives me access to iTunes Match on the Mac. On my iPhone when I changed my Apple ID and signed into the Store in Settings I still had no access to any iCloud services, including iTunes Match. If I had deleted the account and signed in with the new ID would this have re-enabled iTunes Match? What would happen if the iCloud ID wasn't associated with the iTunes/Apple ID?
Hope most of that made sense. It did in my head.

Apple ID's can be used for anything, a single ID can be used for all your accounts (ie iCloud, iTunes, MAS, Apple community etc), ideally this would be the way forward. So far as iTunes goes you need to continue to use the same ID as you have always used or you will lose access to your previous purchases and your iTunes match subscription.
If you are using a second ID for iCloud, you can continue to do so or use the ID you use for iTunes, but if you choose the later you will need to move all your calendar, contact etc data to the account using the ID you use for iTunes.
When (if) you change which account you use you would delete the account on an iOS device and log back in with the correct details, on a mac you would sign out in the iCloud system preference pane.
