How Reset Workflow options in ACR?

I looked up workflow, but didn't find any discussions, and I can find items online that tell me how to SET workflow, but so far, I can't find anything that tells me how to RESET workflow.......
I don't want it to do ANYTHING. I don't want it to set Adobe RGB or bit depth, or resize or ANYTHING. I want it to leave whatever I open exactly the way it came in. When I press "Open Image",
I want it to go to Photoshop exactly the way it came in to ACR... Currently, if I open a jpg that was exported in sRGB, when it gets to Photoshop, it's 16 bit and Adobe RGB because that's what the
workflow says.....
So, how do I make workflow completely go away and not screw with anything in my image?

Let me see if I can explain this better.
I don't want it to open as a jpg or anything. I JUST want to know how to RESET the workflow settings so it doesn't change ANYTHING in whatever I open......
Here's an example... At some point, for some reason, I open a raw file in ACR, and go into the workflow and set the color space to sRGB, the bit depth to 8 bits
and the resize to 200%. When I hit "Open Image", my raw file will now open in photoshop as an sRGB, 8-bit file that's been resized to 200%. Fine, since for
no good reason that's what I told ACR to do.
Close Everything........ months later, I open another RAW file in ACR and it gets stuck with THOSE SAME SETTINGS because they automatically become the
default. I don't WANT to use those settings, so HOW do I reset the workflow so it doesn't set ANYTHING?
OR, I open a raw file in ACR, and set the color space to Prophoto and the bit depth to 16 bits. Fine... But, next I need to make a MINOR modification to a jpeg I've
created from PS (or Lightroom or right from the camera). Its in Bridge so I open it. It goes into ACR. And gets set to Prophoto and 16 bits and whatever other thing
I previously set in workflow. I don't know or care what the original color space of the jpeg was, and I don't WANT to know or care. I just want to open it in PS exactly as it
is WITHOUT workflow making any changes.......
In reality, this isn't a big problem on a daily basis for me, although it is annoying. But, I got a phone call from a semi-panicked photographer who couldn't understand WHY
her 16x20 kept showing up as a 12x16 when she reopened it in PS. What was happening was that she cropped and resized in Photoshop with a resolution of 240 ppi. Then
saved the jpeg. Which came up as a 16x20. EXCEPT, when she reopened it, it opened in ACR, where she had SOMETIME set the resolution to 300 ppi. The pixel count
was exactly the same, but when she did the "open image", in Photoshop it was now 12 x 16 @ 300 ppi instead of 16x20 @240.
So, HOW do I reset the workflow so whatever settings had been put in, get cleared and it doesn't change ANYTHING?

Smart Object - How do I keep ACR from changing workflow options?

Open image in Photoshop as a Smart Object from Lightroom.
Double-click to change the RAW characteristics.
When I return to Photoshop, my image has been changed... Color space is changed, bit depth is changed, size is changed........
I believe I know WHAT is doing it - the Workflow Options in ACR are set. HOW DO I TURN THEM OFF?
I can't find a reset, and I can't get it to stop messing with the image. I've SPECIFICALLY UNCLICKED the "Resize to Fit", but
it STILL takes my 2600x3300 pixel image and returns it as 1824x2321 pixels.......
Where and how do I reset this thing?

I ABSOLUTELY agree...... That's exactly, I believe, how it's SUPPOSED to work.
Except that mine didn't.
I opened a 12.2 MP RAW file.
And made absolutely no changes to the workflow uptions at the time of opening.
But instead of "Image Sizing" saying "Default 12.2 MP", it said "3.6MP"
Resize was turned OFF
Width was 2321 px and height was 1824 px, BOTH GRAYED OUT.
Upon leaving ACR, I had a 2321x1824 file.
Eventually, after wasting another hour screwing around with it, I finally blew away all of Bridge AND the preferences and all that,
and rebooted since the %$#)(*& Adobe CC thing wouldn't figure out there was no more Bridge, and resintalled...........
Now, when I open a file in there, at LEAST it knows it's 12.2MP.
It STILL wants to change the Space to sRGB, which I NEVER use from here, and the Depth to 8-bit, which again, I never use in ACR,
but I can set those back to what they should be...
So, in this case, by using a large enough bludgeon, I appear to have gotten around the problem. Now I'm just waiting to see how soon it screws up again.

Workflow Options Changed in ACR

I noticed that the Workflow Options window in ACR has changed slightly so that it looks more like Export in Lightroom. When did this happen? Is there a way to toggle between the old and new windows for Workflow Options. I noticed that this change is not on all computers with the newest version of CS6. Some have the old window and some the new one.

I'm moving this post from this forum for photoshop-dot-com (an online portal) to the correct forum for Photoshop pro users like yourselves.

ACR 8.1 beta Crop/Workflow Options change is inconvenient

I generally leave the ACR Workflow Options resolution set to default, and in the past have set the crop tool to a smaller pixel resolution, such as 1024x768. I could then either run the image straight thru to Photoshop at full resolution, or apply a crop and save directly from ACR for proof/email lower resolution versions.
However it appears that in 8.1 the crop tool no longer has a pixel setting, now I have to set the resolution in the workflow options in order to save out a proof/email image. If I want to run the full resolution image thru to Photoshop I have to click on the Workflow Options link and disable the resolution setting. So I can't switch back and forth without changing workflow options, which requires more clicks, and is easy to forget; Is there a way to save multiple workflow options settings and select among them? Such has been requested for a long time, but apparently is still not available.
Richard Southworth
Added by edit - the new item in the Workflow Options is a Resize to Fit section, which can be enabled/disabled with a check box. Is there a shortcut key to toggle, something quicker than going thru the link at the bottom?

I'm in the process of going through 1100+ images from a recent vacation, selecting and re-sizing for transfer to an iPad. Actually the new arrangement is working out ok, I'm adjusting and cropping on the originals, then going back and doing a multiple save out at the desired resolution. Most of my images are un-cropped, so this new configuration saves a lot of full frame cropping.
As long as I remember to disable the resize before moving images to Photoshop all is ok, even preferable. Sorry I complained, nothing like using a tool to understand the pros and cons.

Sharpen in "workflow options" and "Detail" tab

how does the sharpen within workflow options relate to the sharpening applied within the detail pane?
Does one override the other or would the sharpening be additive?
thanks.

>I probably would never use the workflow settings, especially since they are not well defined settings, and I assume for "general" office work...
In my opinion, the workflow options for output sharpening in ACR are rather awkward to use. One advantage of parametric editing is that the edits are stored in the ACR database or in the XMP file in a compact form without the necessity of large and possibly multilayered TIFF files. After making the required edits, one has repurposable masterfile that can be used for derivative images.
However, when one uses the ACR output sharpening, the dimensions of the image and the resolution must be determined in advance. One then has an output file that is suitable only for printing that specific image, and repurposibility is lost.
Furthermore, the output sharpening in ACR requires the setting of the resolution in pixels per inch. When printing to a relatively large output size, one usually renders the image at the native resolution of the camera and then sets the image dimensions of the picture without resampling. In the ACR workflow one must manually calculate the needed output resolution from the intended output size in inches and the native resolution of the camera in pixels.
For example, if one is using a Nikon D3 camera with a resolution of 2832 x 4256 pixels and wants to print on super B paper with a short axis dimension 12.5 inches, it is necessary to predetermine the required resolution in pixels per inch by dividing 2832 by 12.5 to obtain the needed resolution of 227 pixels per inch. One enters this value in the ACR dialog box.The result is an image that is suitable only for printing at that size.
Personally, I would prefer to use ACR to make a repurposable masterfile which can later be resized and output sharpened as necessary. Currently, I use PKSharpener for this purpose.
It would be nice to be able to store several possible output options in the XMP file or database, and this is currently not possible. For example, one might want to store settings for 8 by 10 or 11 x 14 inch prints.

Workflow Options

I'm a long time PS user but have always used Capture One for RAW conversion. I'm now trying to learn ACR 5.0 which looks to have developed into a pretty cool RAW converter with some great features. My question is - how can I save Workflow Options as defaults? I want sRGB, 16bit and 300ppi as opposed to the default RGB, 8bit, 240ppi. It seems that each time I exit ACR the Workflow Options revert to the defaults. Thanks in advance for what I'm sure will be a simple answer.
Ed

Thanks for the fast response Ramon!
Maybe things have changed or it's a glitch in the new software, but the Workflow Options are not sticky in 5.0. I have a feeling that will change with some near-future updates.
I pre-purchased CS4 about two weeks ago and downloaded the new software early this morning. PS will take a little getting used since some things have changed locations, but I'm very excited with some of the new features. Like I mentioned before - I'm a newbie to ACR so the entire program is a learning experience.
Thanks again for your response and I'll just "wait and see" what happens in the next few weeks with upgrades to resolve the non-sticky Workflow Options.

Modelling different workflow-options

Hi,
There is a wiki which tells us the different work-flow options you can use:
SAP Business Workflow,
Guided Procedures
Collaboration tasks
ccBPM
etc.
Question1: is the a comprehensive tool to model these different altogether or do we need SAP Business Workflow's own modelling tool, UML for guided procedures, ? for Collaboration tasks and BPMN for BPEL separately (I hope it's not...).
Question 2: How does ARIS EPC's relate to this: the EPC is used for business-modelling. This should be the starting point for configurating different workflow-options, (using different models?).
Greetings Theo

Hi Theo,
I've nothing to hide but that quote was taken from an internal SAP mail so it wasn't polished for forum publication.
Just to clarify - I agree with your description of the layers.
I believe that a bpx working in an SAP environment should be aware of the tools (and approximate capabilities) at their disposal as well as basic functionality in the underlying business components deployed.
I believe that any question along the lines of "how do you do this with..tool A" is definitely not for the bpx forum. It should go in the relevant tools forum. Seeing as most of these posts are related to SAP Business Workflow or BAM or XI then they should go in the SAP NetWeaver BPM forum. There is also a CAF forum for guided procedures and a Visual Composer forum for VC and other forums for the other tools (such as BI). I.e. No need to create a new forum, just direct these tool posts to the tools forums.
I don't know whether BPMN or UML can really be understood by the business experts. In my experience white-boarding and flow-charts work pretty well but maybe the business experts have become more process savvy (which is why we want to offer certification).
Experience in a process automation project is a must, and knowledge about why this process is being done in such-and-such a way (e.g. 6-Sigma understanding) is also a must.
The BPX can reach level 1 from either level 1 or level 3. Philip Kisloff's BPX article is an excellent demonstration of level 3. Yes, he did use workflow to solve the problem but he had his bpx glasses on when he wrote the article.

How reset Tracking=0 in Illustrator?

Why do i can't set Tracking of character =0 ?

But i set number <> 0 ok
How reset Tracking=0 in Illustrator?

daitranthanhoa,
What happens if you try to set in in the Characters palette (you may need to click Show Options in the flyout)?
If it fails to work, there may be something wrong which makes it worth looking at the following list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Synchronizing workflow options?

I frequently open multiple images at a time in ACR. I had thought that selecting all images and then setting workflow options would set the selected workflow options for all of the images, but it doesn't.
The synchronize option allows you to select any of the image quality/color setting to sync, but not the workflow options.
If you have a bunch of images in the filmstrip view in ACR , do you have to go through each one at a time to select the workflow options? Is there a way to assign them all at once?
Thanks,
Joe.

I am using ACR 3.7 on windows. There are two different camera models involved in the images I have in ACR. Could that cause the workflow options to only work on a one-to-one basis rather than on the entire selection?
ACR does not seem to be setting workflow options by camera model as the difference in output results varied even within camera models. However, I guess it could be that the presence of two camera models within the selection could force the need to select workflow options individually for each image.

How reset my computer's assign to my ipod?

How reset my computer's assign to my ipod for new PC???

Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software available to assist you with this task.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

How to "Show options" in every window at once?

In many Illustrator windows, useful tools and settings are hidden by default unless you open the flyout menu in the top corner and choose "show options".
I always want to "show options", everywhere, all the time.
Whenever I come to use or help someone with Illustrator on a new machine, new user account, new install, or after trashing preferences for any reason, it's necessary to click through every window showing its options. It's a nuisance and I always forget some windows, which means when I then use that window I'll be puzzled that a tool I'm used to isn't where I remember it being.
Is there any way to "Show options" everything at once? Or set it to never hide options anywhere? I've been right through Preferences and found nothing that looks relevant.
It'd be really useful for the above situations and also for helping beginners ("Let's see, is 'Scale strokes and effects' ticked in the transform window?", "There is no 'Scale strokes and effects' in the transform window!", "What, are you sure?" etc etc...)

I think you're misunderstanding the question, I'm asking how to open out all the options in every window.
Your answer is how to save it as a custom workspace after I've shown options. It saves them as being open by default, so that isn't a problem. A custom workspace might be useful as a backup or to transfer to another computer but I often want different workspaces on different computers (e.g. because of screen size differences). I just want to know how to "show options" in every window at once.
My question is 'How to "Show options" in every window at once?'

How to restrict Option values for a particular metadata in profile checkin

How to restrict Option values (drop down) for a particular metadata in profile checkin-
Metadata field Color is having options dropdown values (stored in table/views)-
Display name - Blue, Value=1
Display name - Red, Value=2
Display name - Yellow, Value=3
Display name - Green, Value=4
Display name - Black, Value=5
For a particular profile checkin form, for the metadata field Color I want the dropdown value consist of only top three options
Display name - Blue, Value=1
Display name - Red, Value=2
Display name - Yellow, Value=3
But this should be done on profile level only, should not impact the standrad checkin form and other profile checkin forms.
Please help me if any one having any suggestion to implement the above secnario
Thanks,

Hi,
Into the rule containing the Color metadata, you can restrict the values of the list.
In "Has restricted list and pane", list the values 1, 2 and 3 (new line for each value) :

How to create optional parameters in discoverer 10.1.2

How to create optional parameters in Discoverer
Thanks in Advance

Hi.
In the thread you quoted Michael Armstrong-Smith says that optional parameters can be created in Plus but not in Desktop and that's true.
So your question "how to create optional parameters in Discoverer desktop" is already answered in that thread.
Assume that it is a typo and you wanted to ask how to create optional parameters in Plus.
Then the answer is simple: Just uncheck the "Require users to enter a value" checkbox when creating new parameter.

How do I create an ACR custom lens profile if camera exposure can't be set to manual?

How do I create an ACR custom lens profile if camera exposure can't be set to manual?
I ask this question for the Nokia 808 PureView 41MP camera. It produces stunning image quality but exposure can only be controlled via EV +/- compensation. I need a lens profile to correct for vignetting to get even skies in panorama (which turn out stunningly otherwise). There is no profile for the Nokia 808 PureView I am aware of and I'd like to produce one.
Is the Adobe profile creator able to correct for varying exposure using EXIF or overlapping parts of the chart or background?
Or would the Adobe profile creator ignore EXIF if I use studio flash to enforce a constant lightning situation, even if shutter speed would vary (aperture is constant and ISO can be set constant, just not the shutter speed)?
Or did Adobe produce a profile internally they can share?
Thanks.

If you read the first post, this is the camera-app of a 41MP Nokia Pureview 808 camera-phone, so maybe someone could write a new camera app but the phone is Symbian OS which is dead, making that unlikely.
http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/the-skeptics-guide-to-nokias-808-pureview-five-reasons -41-megapixels-are-not-a-gimmick/
http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/the-nokia-lumia-820-and-lumia-920-too-little-too-late/
It would probably be easier for Adobe to rewrite the LPC to allow vignetting to be computed from a single shot of a blank wall without a target in the shot, than to have someone rewrite a camera app that allows manual exposure.
Another idea about how to get the phone to keep a constant exposure would be to experiment with putting darker and lighter objects in the field-of-view away from the target area to make the camera metering adjust things so it’s exposure is the same from one shot to the next. This would take some doing but should work, unless the LPC uses the part of the frame that doesn’t contain the checkboard target in its computations.
You’re basically varying the scene around the target so the camera takes the same exposure of the target each time.
