  • Photos not the right way round

    I imported loads of photos from my digital camera onto my mac, then flipped them the right way in preview.
    I've just imported them to iphoto, and they all seem the right way up but when uploading to my webspace or emailing, although they look like they are the right way up, they are infact still landscape when they should be portrait... any thoughts why?!

    You can export them to the Desktop and then reimport. The new file will be naturally oriented correctly and should work in any application OK. You can check it out by seeing if there's been a subfolder created in the Modified folder that is the same name as the one in the Originals folder. There should not be one. Once reimported you can delete the first set. You can make it easier by assembling them into a single roll and delete from within iPhoto.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • How to create a custom panel in the right way (without having an empty panel in the file info) ?

    Hi Everyone
    My name is Daté.
    I'm working in the fashion industry as a designer and Design consultant to help fashion brands improving the design workflow by using Adobe softwares and especially Illustrator.
    I'm not a developper, but i'm very interested about the possibility to introduce xmp technology to provide more DAM workflows in the fashion industry.
    Fashion designers produce a lot of graphical objects in illustrator or Photoshop. Unfortunately they are faced to a big challenge which is about how to manage, search, classify and get this files faster. Of course PDM system or PLM system are used in the Fashion industry to manage data, but for many companies, implemanting this kind of database is very complex.
    When i look at what you can do with xmp, it seems to be an interesting way of managing design files, then i started to follow Adobe instruction to try to build a custom panel.
    The main idea is to (Theory) :
    create custom panels used by fashion designers to classify their design files.
    Use Adobe Bridge to search files, create smart collection to make basic reports in pdf and slideshows
    Find someone to make a script able to export metadata in xml files
    Use indesign and the xml file to generate automatically catalogues or technical sheets based on xmp values
    I have created a custom panel by using the generic panel provided by Adobe and i have modified the fields to feet with the terms used in the fashion industry and it works well.
    But unfortunately, when i try to create my own custom panel from scratch with Flashbuilder (4.6) and the Adobe CSExtensionBuilder_2 (Trial version), it doesn't work!
    Here is the process :
    I have installed flashbuilder 4.6
    I have download the XMP Fileinfo SDK 5.1 and placed the com.adobe.xmp.sdk.fileinfo_fb4_1.1.0.jar in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\eclipse\plugins
    In Flashbuilder, i have created a new project and select xmp Custom panel
    The new project is created in flashbuilder with a field with A BASIC Description Field
    To generate the panel, right click the project folder and select xmp / Publish Custom Panel
    The panel is automatically generated in the following folder : C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\custom file info panels\3.0\panels
      Go to illustrator, Open the file Info
    The panel appears empty
    The others panel are also empty
    The panel is created and automatically placed in the right folder, but when you open it in Illustrator by selecting the File Info option in the File Menu, this custom panel appears empty!!! (only the title of the tab is displayed). This panel also prevent the other panels to be displayed.
    When you delete this custom panels from the folder C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\custom file info panels\3.0\panels and go back to the File Info, the other panels display their content properly.
    I also try to use the plugin XMP Namespace designer to create my own namespace. this plugin is also able to generate a custom panel, but this one also appears empty in AI or Photoshop.
    I try to follow the process described in Adobe xmp documentation many times, but it didn't works.
    It seems that many peaople have this issue, but i dodn't find a solution in the forum.
    I try to create a trust file (cfg), but it didn't work.
    It would be so kind if you can help me to understand why i can't create a custom panel normally and how to do it in the right way.
    Thanks a lot for your help,
    Best regards,
    Daté 

    Hi Sunil,
    After many trial, i realize the problem was not coming from the trust file, but from the way i have created the custom panel.
    There is 2 different ways, the first described below is not working whereas the second is fine :
    METHOD 1 :
    I have downloaded the XMP-Fileinfo-SDK-CS6
    In the XMP-Fileinfo-SDK-CS6 folder, i copied the com.adobe.xmp.sdk.fileinfo_fb4x_1.2.0.jar plugin from the Tools folder and i pasted it in the plugind folder of Flashbuilder 4.6
    The plugin install an XMP project
    In Flashbuilder 4.6 i have created a new project (File / New /Project /XMP/XMP Custom Panel)
    A new xmp project is created in flashbuilder.
    You can publish this project by right clicking the root folder and selecting XMP / Publish Custom Panel
    The custom file info panel is automatically published in the right location which is on Mac : /Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/3.0 or /Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/4.0
    Despite the publication of the custom file info panel and the creation of a trust file in the following location : "/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/FlashPlayerTrust", the panel is blank in Illustrator.
    I try this way several times, with no good results.
    METHOD 2 :
    I have installed Adobe CSExtensionBuilder 2.1 in Flash Builder
    In FlashBuilder i have created a new project (File / New /Project /Adobe Creative Suite Extension Builder/XMP Fileinfo Panel Project)
    As the system display a warning about the version of the sdk to use to create correctly a custom file info, I changed the sdk to sdk3.5A
    The warning message is : "XMP FileInfo Panel Projects must be built with Flex 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 SDK. Building with Flex 4.6.0 SDK may result in runtime errors"
    When i publish this File info panel project (right click the root folder and select Run as / Adobe illustrator), the panel is published correctly.
    The last step is to create the trust file to display the fields in the panel and everything is working fine in Illustrator.
    The second method seems to be the right way.
    For sure something is missing in the first method, and i don't understand the difference between the XMP Custom Panel Project and the XMP Fileinfo Panel Project. Maybe you can explain it to me.
    So what is the best solution ? the right sdk to use acording to the creative suite (the system asks to use 3.3 or 3.5 sdk for custom panels, so why ?)
    I'm agree with Pedro, a step by step tutorial about this will help a lot of peaople, because it's not so easy to understand!!!
    Sunil, as you belong to the staff team, can you tell me if there is  :
    A plugin or a software capable to extract the XMP from llustrator files to generate XML workflows in Indesign to create catalogues
    A plugin to allow indesign to get custom XMP in live caption
    A plugin to allow Bridge to get custom XMP in the Outputmode to make pdf or web galeries from a smart collection
    How can you print the XMP data with the thumbnail of the file ?
    Thanks a lot for your reply.
    Best Regards
    Daté

  • Having read how one might be able to send a video that is too large, it seems that those videos and still pictures that are sent, well at least for me anyway, end up 90 degrees to the horizontal...how do i send a pic, or video that is the right way up???.

    my question relates to the orientation of the videos, and still pictures that are sent via the ipad2...they always seem to be 90 degrees to the horizontal...can anyone suggest how to send them so that they will be the right way up???

  • How to approach ABAP OO programming the right way...

    Hello experts,
    I am an old school procedural ABAP programmer and I recently I have been experementing with ABAP Objects since I've read a few columns the advantages of ABAP OO and also currently learning its syntax. Now, does ABAP Objects conform to the old way of say, doing reports like at selection-screen output, at selection-screen, on value-request for..., start-of-selection, end-of-selection, top-of-page, etc. I have been doing some practice programs and I am not sure if my approach is correct. Example, I created a class named cl1 and I have a method named upload. Now, the UPLOAD method contains the function 'GUI_UPLOAD'. Is this the right way of doing it? Also, How come I cannot create structures inside a class?
    Again, thanks guys and have a nice day!

  • Ok so how do I delete the "Rebuilt Library" the right way?

    I just tried to rebuild a totally messed up library. But the Library Manager failed to import over 1,000 of my photos. (iPhoto telling me it doesn't have enough memory to function.
    I imagine I will be able to rebuild the library again once I move the library to my external hard drive. Right? Can someone let me know the right way to set that up? I have been searching through old posts but can only find people talking about problems after the library has already been moved.
    Thanks a lot.

    Since you speak of a "rebuild Library" I assume that you used iPhoto Library manager and still have your original library too. If this is not correct stop and post the correct information
    quit iPhoto and drag the "rebuilt library" to the trash and drag the iPhoto library to your external drive - you might want to wait to empty the trash until everything is done and good. Launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and use the select library option to point to the iPhoto library that you just drug to the EHD. Now you should have iPhoto running with the original (presumedly messed up) library - use IPLM to do yoru rebuild now

  • The "right" way to handle multiple devices, accounts and the cloud?

    Perhaps a bit premature, but I figure it's never too early to start planning. 
    Here's our current setup - I currently have four iDevices in the faily (three iPhones and one iPod Touch.  All are syncing to the same Mac Mini, albeit with different logins (and different iTunes store ids).  All four of these are kept in sync via Home Sharing so we have access to the music/apps/etc acquired by the others.
    Enter the iCloud - how does this fit in?  What's the *right* way to do this? 
    I can see two options:
    1)     Continue to utilize four iTunes store ids, sync them via Home Sharing and add four iClouds
         Advantages
              totally independent devices, users, etc.
         Disadvantages
              must pay for four "iTunes Match" services to access non-iTunes music on each of the four devices
              will iTunes-purchased music automaticaly sync to iCloud if it is shared via Home Sharing (or only by the original purchaser)?
    2)     Use one iTunes Store id for all iDevices
         Advantages
              single point of acquisition and distribution for all devices
         Disadvantages
              need to find a way to merge IDs (is this even possible?)
    Are there other advantages/disadvantages to these options?  Are there other options?  What's the easiest to set up and support?  Any other thoughts?
    Thanks in advance for your input.

    Well it seems like the first thing you should do is consolidate your iTunes libraries so that you don't have 4 copies of everything, one for each user logged in to your Mac Mini. How you do that is consolidate all 4 iTunes folders to one folder located in the /Users/Shared/ folder and update each of your iTunes to point to that folder accordingly. That way you have one iTunes library, only one copy of your media, but accessible from multiple users.
    One caveat is that if somebody is logged on and has iTunes open, you can't fast switch to another user and open iTunes. Apple made it so that only one user and one instance of iTunes can open a iTunes library at a time.
    For your iTunes match situation, it does sound like you would be much better off sharing a single Apple ID with one iTunes Match. For consolidating, make sure you have everything everybody has shared via Home Sharing to the main account you'd like to move over to, and then simply go to each device Settings, Store, and the sign out of the original Apple ID and logon using the shared main Apple ID. I just looked at it and the automatic downloading is already live in iOS! You can specify if you want to do music, apps, and books separately in case you may want to automatically download music but not apps or books.

  • What's the "right" way to create a News list in CQ5.4?

    Hey folks,
    I'm a brand new CQ developer and, though I've done a lot of reading, I'm still in the dark on how to do a few things.
    I'm currently working on a corporate website, and I need to build a News page. Each article contains a title and rich text (possibly including embedded images, videos, etc...), and the News page itself should display a paginated list of recent article summaries (with "read full article" links). I also need to show the two or three most recent article summaries on the site's front page, under a News heading.
    I thought there'd be a pre-built component to cover this case, since most corporate sites include a News page of some sort, but I haven't found one. Am I missing it? I looked into the Blog page template, but I think that adapting that may be overkill.
    I think that the right way to do this would be to build a News component with a Title and Rich Text field in the edit dialog. New articles could be created by dropping these components into the parsys of the News page. I could then create both a .html and a .summary view for the components and use a customized List component to display the summary list on the front page. Am I on the right track here, or am I overcomplicating it?
    Thanks!
    - Michael

    Hi,
    The "right" way of building any list-like component is to extend the existing List component.
    That is referenced in this documentation page:
    http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/wcm/default_components.html#List
    You can find it under /libs/foundation/components/lists
    To create, for example, a 'News List' component, just create a new component under your /apps/myproject/components, setting 'foundation/components/list' as sling:resourceSuperType ans add your custom script to display each news item. see also [1]
    That way you canprovide more renderers to be used around your site(s)
    [1] - http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/developing/components.html#Developing%20a%20new%20co mponent%20by%20adapting%20an%20existing%20%20%20%20%20component

  • [Solved]Bash:Manipulating arrays of paths? the right way or not?

    Note: Refer to the following posts for better solutions and/or alternatives.
    This is a mock segment of a script I'm writting and I need to know if I'm doing it the correct way or at least in a proper bash way...
    the following works but will it always parse in a sorted manner. I have a set of directories that are named by date in the YYYY-MM-DD (International) format and want to be sure that they will always be treated as directory paths even when special characters "\n,\t,\s ...etc" are encountered in the path. The number of these directories changes and is compared to a set NUM-ber variable and when there are more than the set number the oldest ones are removed which brings a second question. Being dated as YYYY-MM-DD they sort from oldest to newest(lexicographical order) but do they always and is this the right way to deal with elements in an array separated by nulls? Any Comments or suggestions would be appreciated as I'm learning bash for the  time being (perl is next) and gathered this from bits and peices on verious wikis and forums. I basically want know if this a correct approach to the subject of extracting and performing actions on elements of an array that are directory paths.

    there is a special syntax for appending elements to an array:

    you can simplify to

    new=(/home/maat/dateddirs/"$dir"/[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]/)
    (( count= ${#new[@]} - NUM ))
    combined+=("${new[@]:0:$count}")
    done
    This works as really well, however, in my case I still need the other sets in separate arrays for other purposes in my personal script so I adapted the approach a little and got this which uses the array+=(foo) syntax properly now. I was aware of this feature in bash arrays and experimented with it but had no success adding elements from other arrays until you demonstrated it in your example by adding them though a "for loop" and doing the arithmetic there... My current one now is very similar...I'm not sure how to reduce it further if possible but I need the other arrays as I do something completely different with them:
    #!/bin/bash
    NUM=10
    set1=(/home/maat/datedfolders/set1/[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]/)
    set2=(/home/maat/datedfolders/set2/[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]/)
    set3=(/home/maat/datedfolders/set3/[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]/)
    CT1=$(( ${#set1[@]} - NUM ))
    CT2=$(( ${#set2[@]} - NUM ))
    CT3=$(( ${#set3[@]} - NUM ))
    for X in "${set1[@]:0:$CT1}" "${set2[@]:0:$CT2}" "${set3[@]:0:$CT3}"
    do
    combined+=("$X")
    done
    for
    for Xdirs in "${combined[@]}"
    do
    rm -rv "$Xdirs"
    done
    I'm considering changing the title of this thread as it reveals a little more than I originally expected to go over and provides some pitfalls as well as ways to approach array manipulation which can be applied to wide range of uses in bash scripting. Others may find totally different uses for what we've discussed here so....

  • Setting up Lightroom the right way

    I have jsut ordered Lightroom 3.0.  I
    should have it a few days.  I woould like to know if there is any
    information out there on how to set it up the right way on a first time install.  At present i am running Photoshop Elements 8.0 and was wondering if Lightroom automaticly brings my files in from PSE or do i have to do it.  Also is there anything i should do with my files in PSE to make a smooth transition to LR 3.0.

    All godd infromation.  Thanks to you all for your hellp.
    Happy Holidays to you.

  • Is this the right way - 9i

    I have schema 'A' with few large and many small non-partition tables. I created another schema 'B' identical to 'A' and the only difference was that I partitioned the large tables resulting a combination of partitioned and non partitioned tables in schema 'B'.
    I exported schema 'A' and imported it into 'B'. My question is, IS this the right way or I should done something else.
    Thx

    It would depend on the your goals, but I'd suspect that you would want to create most of the same indexes and views in the new schema. If you're partitioning the tables, though, you would have to give serious thought to how to define the indexes-- should they be global or local, should they be equipartitioned with the underlying tables, etc.-- which exporting and importing wouldn't resolve.
    If the end goal of this exercise is just to produce the same schema with partitioned tables, transition any code & applications to the partitioned schema, and then drop the unpartitioned schema, creating the new schema just adds extra work. Create partitioned tables in the same schema (with slightly different names), load the data, create appropriate indexes, and then ALTER TABLE ... RENAME everything so that the partitioned tables now have the old non-partitioned table names.

  • Shot stabilization: The right way?

    Hey everyone,
    I've been stabilizing shots for about a year now with after effects.  Usually nothing too intense.  Just Warp Stabilizer to polish.
    Between my last project and this one I had a chance to sit down with the assistant editor on gone girl and I mentioned that I use warp stabilizer (usually without the warp setting).  He was basically disgusted at the thought.  Since I wasn't there to get a tutorial we didn't talk much more about it.  But he did say that the warp stabilizer doesn't give you a lot of control.
    So I'm wondering what the "right way" to stabilize a shot is.  Is there a tutorial that is more advanced somewhere out there? 
    Thanks!

    Was this Tyler that you were talking with? If so, I'll have to ask him what he meant by this comment. Warp Stabilizer gives rather a lot of control, so I'd be curious to know what deficiencies there supposedly are.

  • How do i ask siri to send a message to my group conversation

    how do i ask siri to send a message to my group conversation

    Without the Apple ID you can't get a password reset email. The link I gave above can help you recover the Apple ID as well, though, via your security questions. If you don't know those either, then you may be out of luck, though you can try calling Apple Support and asking to speak with Account Security and see if they can help, though you're going to have to prove that you actually own that Apple ID and aren't just trying to get illegal access to someone else's account.
    Regards.
