HowTo? Script to adjust new PV-2012 sliders in ACR?

I've used ExtendScript with CS5 to browse and modify the "CalibrateAcr" scripts developed by Thomas Fors, and modified by Rags Gardner.
http://www.rags-int-inc.com/PhotoTechStuff/ColorCalibration/
Some of what they were doing was "over my head" ... I didn't fully comprehend what they were doing. The scripts were able to work with an image opened in Photoshop, and somehow adjust the ACR sliders for that image.
Those scripts assumed ProcessVersion 2010 or earlier, and had routines to modify Basic and advanced settings, such as Exposure, Contrast, Shadows, Blacks, etc. The point of the scripts was an alternate way to calibrate a camera sensor. The scripts are not maintained and considered obsolete, with better approaches to camera calibration now.
I'd like to figure out how to update those scripts to work with PV-2012, particularly changing "new" sliders on the Basic tab like "Shadows", "Highlights", and "Whites". My uninformed speculation is that routines to modify sliders for "Exposure", "Contrast", and/or "Blacks" may still work.

Thanks Frank. And I concur with Robert Shomler: auto-toned settings may not be usable "out of the box", but it can sometimes help to see what auto-toner would do with the various settings, especially whites, but also contrast and highlight/shadows (and blacks).
Sometimes I get stuck in a rut, and hit auto-tone, and go oh-yeah, I'm banging my head against a wall because I need more whites and less exposure, etc... (at which point I usually undo the auto-tone and continue manual toning, but more enlightened...),

  • New iMac 2012 & Mini DisplayPort to DVI-Adapter

    Will this adapter work with the new iMac 2012 (27-inch)?
    (I´m not sure because there are only thunderbolt ports on the picture and no Mini DisplayPort)
    Thank you!
    bye

    Hello,
    A notable peculiarity of Thunderbolt is that it uses exactly the same connector as Mini Display Port, and that's not all. The Thunderbolt connector also carries Mini Display Port video signals. That means you can plug a Mini Display Port video cable/adapter in to a Thunderbolt connector and your monitor will work.
    If you plan to do other things with your Thunderbolt connector and don't want it wasted on a monitor, you can also choose an HDMI --> DVI adapter, which for your purposes will be functionally equivalent.
    You can even use both at the same time.

  • Can overrides from SCOM 2007 R2 be used in a new SCOM 2012 R2 installation?

    Hi All,
    I'm wondering if we can "easily" use our overrides/configuration from our current SCOM 2007 R2 implementation and use them in a new SCOM
    2012 R2 environment that we plan on standing up.  We are using SCOM to monitor approx. 400 servers (physical and virtual).
    We have been using 2007 R2 for a few years and we'd like to start using 2012 R2.  Instead of using the update path (2007 R2 to 2012
    to 2012 SP1 to 2012 R2), we are planning on setting up a new 2012 R2 environment and configuring our servers to start reporting to 2012 R2 (after it has been configured in such a way as to "mimic" our 2007 R2 environment).
    Ideally, we'd like to avoid going through the upgrade path.  (We'll leave our 2007 R2 environment running so that we can still access "historical
    data" until the new 2012 R2 environment has had a chance to build up its own "historical data".)
    So ... I was thinking we could export our overrides from 2007 R2 and import them into 2012 R2, but I'd like to verify that this approach makes
    sense.  We haven't done extensive customizations to 2007 R2 in terms of Distributed Applications or Management Pack Objects (although we have made some changes - which I guess we could manually configure in 2012 R2 to offer the same "experience").
    The following are some of the Management Packs that we are using in 2007 R2:
    Microsoft Windows Active Directory
    Active Directory Certificate Services
    EMC Storage Monitoring
    IBM Hardware
    Microsoft Exchange Server 2010
    McAfee
    Microsoft Forefront Server Protection 2010
    Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
    Microsoft SQL Server
    Microsoft Windows DNS Server
    Microsoft Windows WINS
    Microsoft Windows Hyper-V
    Microsoft Windows Internet Information Services
     Microsoft Windows Server
    Microsoft Windows DHCP
    NetBackup Operations Manager
    Office Communications Server
    OpsLogix (BlackBerry)
    Service Level Dashboard for OpsMgr 2007 R2
    SolarWinds Orion
    Schedule Maintenance Mode
    Team Foundation Server 2010
    Virtual Machine Manager
    Microsoft Windows Cluster
    Operations Manager 2007 R2
    I appreciate all feedback and the sharing of you expertise.
    Thanks, Joe.

    As long as the base pack works and you wish to retain the customisation then you should be ok, there’s a good article
    here which explains how to perform the migration and some of implication/things to check.
    There will be complications if you’ve stored anything in the default mp but this is explained in the above article.

  • Headphone jack not working on brand new late 2012 27" iMac

    Just purchased the new late 2012 27" iMac. Have tried 3 pairs of headphones, all work with my iPhone but when plugged into back of iMac, they do not show up in Sound>Output as an option. Only internal speakers and Apple TV.
    I have pushed...hard. Not the issue.
    Tired changing Audio Midi settings to 32-bit floating. Didn't do anything...
    Any thoughts?
    Thx

    What you did at last?
    This is happening to me and I'm very disappointed and frustrated!
    Is the first time I tried to use a headphones and the stupid machine doesn't work!
    I already reseted PRAM and SMC also updated OS to 10.8.4
    Is a HW problem?
    Do I have to go to the store and lost ALL the time I already invested in SW install and file moving from my old laptop?
    By the way I can see the light when I unplug the heardphones.
    Before some help desk robot asks, YES, I tried 3 pair of phones ALL of them work well in my Vostro 3550, Samsung S3 and in my Nexus 7.
    Some light here please!

  • Best way to replicate a directory share to a new Windows 2012 serv, keeping all permissions and timestamps the same?

    We have a legacy Windows 2008 R2 server, with a single network share on it, that was acting as a primary file share.   Inside the network share are about a dozen different folders (with subfolders) all with different permissions applied to them at the
    folder and file level.   
    I want to migrate/copy this entire directory structure to a new Windows 2012 Standard server, keeping all the timestamps, permissions, etc. exactly as they are on the old directory structure.  Both servers are part of the same single Windows 2008 R2
    domain.
    What would the best practice method for achieving this?  Using XCopy?   If so, what syntax would I want to use with the command to make sure I don't lose any permissions or change any data and timestamps during the migration?

    Hi 
    I recommend you use robocopy to accomplish it.

  • New SCCM 2012 client machines still getting SCCM 2012 SP1 client not the new SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3 client

    Hi,
    I've successfully (as far as I can tell) deployed SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3 and all my existing clients are showing a client version of 5.00.7804.1400.  But when I setup a new client system recently I noticed that the client version was showing 5.00.7804.1000,
    and not 5.00.7804.1400. 
    For new client systems, do I need to redeploy the packages that were created for SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3 so that the new systems get the new SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3 client? 
    Thanks,

  • How & where to use Java script to create new button in object detail page

    Hi All,
    I want to create "New/Add button" in object detail page. If i am not wrong i need to use java script for that but could you please let me know how & where to use Java script to create new button in object detail page in CRMOD.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Manish

    Any related object on the detail page should have an "Add" or "New" or both buttons by default - This is vanilla functionality and will do the required action.
    If you want to modify this behaviour and do something tricky you will potentially have to go for javascript. You should add the javascript on a custom web tab on that Object.
    Admin --> Application Customization --> Contact -->Contact Web Applet
    Now, add your javascript in the code area, after you select the type = HTML for this web applet, expose this web applet on the Contact detail layout and your javascript will be invoked whenever this page is loaded.
    Check this online document to see how javascript can be embedded in CRM on Demand http://helponmyproject.com/TTOCOD/

  • Requesting guidance on how best to deal with removal of CreateElementSteps for tables when option to 'script validation for new constraints' is enabled during schema compare

    I have a DeploymentPlanModifer subclass that is responsible for removing certain tables from a deployment plan under specific conditions. It is relatively trivial to find the
    CreateElementSteps I need and subsequently remove them via
    DeploymentPlanModifier.Remove(), but...
    ... if in my comparison I have enabled the 'Script validation for new constraints' option, the deployment plan will contain a
    DeploymentScriptDomStep with a Batch containing AlterTableConstraintModificationStatements for tables with foreign key constraints. My problem starts here - there will be an orphaned
    AlterTableConstraintModificationStatement for each of the tables that I removed. Obviously, execution of the generated script comes to a grinding halt when asking SQL Server to to alter a table that is never created.
    I'm able to get around this by digging around in the aforementioned batches and removing the orphaned alter statements, but this seems really hacky, which makes me think I'm missing the proper way of dealing with this.
    So... if anyone is aware of a more correct way of avoiding this problem, I would really appreciate finding out more about it.
    Thanks in advance for any help. :-)

    Hi Greg. Unfortunately there is not an easy solution here. Walking the deployment model, spotting potential issues and excluding them really is what you have as an option here. The alternative is to pre-process the dacpac to have it in the form you want,
    but I'm not sure if this is an option in your case and it also has limitations.

    No its not possible to convert standalone installation to cluster.Moreover first you need to configure Windows cluster then backup all SQL server databases logins jobs packages and install fresh instance of SQL Server in cluster aware mode

  • Does Adobe Premier Pro CS6 and After Effects CS6 support the graphic found in the new late 2012 27" iMac?

    Hi there guys! I´m very, very, VERY close to buy a full configuration iMac (the late 2012 27" model) but I have reed in different forums that Adobe Premier Pro CS6 and other applications from Adobe such as After Effects DO NOT support the graphic cards found in the new iMacs....
    is this true??????
    i really wouldn´t understad the logic behid the decission of picking a graphic card that is not supported by one of the leading video editing sofrware used today.... specially when this computer is suppoused to be an Editing Animal....
    I hope this rumor is not real..... then I can be just... really happy and get my new desktop computer and work, work, work, work
    thanks for your attention

    Hi there Daniel, thanks for paying attention to this subject. Today I got an answer from Larry Jordan from his blog (I believe he is one of the "videoguys" from http://videoguys.com and he said that actually adobe does not support those GPU that we will find in the new late 2012 iMacs. However it seems there is a way to make that work out.....
    here is his review on his new iMac, at the very botton you will see comments from people and his answers... one of the last coments is mine regarding this subject, this is what I asked and his answer:
    mGabo Jan 18, 2013 08:50Hi there Larry, I reed in your other post on your iMac that Adobe didn´t support the Nvidia graphic cards found in this model, I have been asking in forums about this and people say Adobe does supports them……Do you know if Adobe now works fine with these cards?
    Larry Jan 18, 2013 11:10When I contacted Adobe about this a couple months ago, just after the release of the new iMacs, I was told that Adobe did not support the graphics card at that time. There is, however, a workaround, which I’m hoping to write up this weekend.Larry
    mGabo Jan 18, 2013 12:28 oh! great Larry! please post the link of that article so I can follow that!many thanks

  • IR port in the new iMac (2012 late)

    I've seen the Satechi Remote! It's great and it will remote control an iDevice over Bluetooth, too!

    is it possible to upgrade from 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm to ssd on the new 13" 2012 macbook pro?

    New non-retina 15" MBP, I just replaced the 500 gb HD with a Samsung 830 256 gb SSD from Amazon, $255 for the kit (includes a USB cable).  Wow.  What a difference.  Yes, there was a learning curve for some of it, but was so worth it.  Let me know if I can help.  I'm using the 500 gb in 2 partitions - one for a clone of the SSD, and one for Time Machine.

  • Boot from external raid hard drive in new iMac 2012

    Just owned iMac 2012 21.5", but seemed internal drive is pretty slower than my previous iMac 2008.  Planning to buy external raid hard drive like Lacie 2big Raid or G-Tech 4tb G-Raid (Thunderbolt) to be my main boot drive instead of internal one.  Would this would solve the problem?

    If your new Late 2012  21.5" iMac was Not ordered with the Fusion Drive option, then it came with a much slower standard 5400 rpm hard drive.  Your 2008 iMac had a 7200 rpm hard drive.  That's why this one is slower.
