I am recently retired and have thousands of photos I need to ? scan and put in iphoto. What is the quickest way to do this please?
Can anybody help me organise my photos efficiently?
I have thousands of photos which I need to scan & add to my library, any suggestions?
Scanner 100$ ( a guess)
Your time 20$ an hour
1 Thousand photos
1 scan =1 min (if you choose low res)
Time to figure out which resolution you want=?
Time to sort organize/agonize about keeping it?
does the scanner come with some great software that will make naming and sorting easy?
240$ / 20$ = 12 hours
1000 minutes / 60 = 16 hours now I know for me it would take longer than the 1 minute to scan all those photos and you have to factor in how long it takes the scanner to scan at your given resolution and the size of the photo.
I think scan time would be a major factor for me since I know I would want the photos at a really high res. I've hardly seen a scanner/printer that is a reasonable price and quick. But they may be out there this year.
I am still going with the scan service.

I have a bunch of .pmd files that I have to have access to.. I am trying to convert to .pdf. what is the easiest way to do this with updated computers?
Then you can’t do anything with those files. Even opening them in InDesign would yield very unpredictable results.
You’d need to find an old machine running nothing later than Windows XP and then buy a copy of PM which is like lighting money on fire.
That said, someone might come along willing to help out but just exactly how many is a bunch? -
Can I color code play
list?No, you cannot colour-code a Playlist.
Why don't you simply add the name (Bill or Bob) to the Playlist name, or add an asterisk for one person's and the ampersand for the other person's lists? -
I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. my goal is to store them in an external hard drive so it doesn't use up memory on the mac hard drive. is it possible to copy the specific projects without copying the entire library? what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.
What do you not understand?
You can duplicate the iPhoto library (command - D ) and delete everything except the project and its photos from the copy and move that
Or
However the calendar takes very little space - it is simpy database entries - it is the photos in the calendar that take space - and for most people you would wnat to keep those photos in your library
you can use a photo in 50 calendars and it still is only one photo in your library - as I explained calenders do not exist as such - they are simply database entries telling iPhotop how to display the calendar - they take almost no space at all

I am struggling! Help! I need to move 3500 pics-in TIFF format in 175 folders and sub folders from my old PSE6, Windows XP to my new PSE13, Windows8.1. I have the PSE6 backed up on an external hard drive. What is the safe way to do this? Can anyone at Adobe help me? Please?
Use the Organizer backup & restore method, starting the restore from the TLY file. Probably best to use a custom location as the XP file structure will be different. See this link for further help:

In Final Cut Express I have two videos I'd like to merge parts of each video into a final film. What is the best way to do this in FCE?
Hi
I use a slightly different way than Alchroma.
Same
• One video on track 1 and the other on Video.track 2
• Resize to 25% and move one to the left and the other to the right
Diff
• I don't use the blade tool
• I use the Pen tool and change the transparency - then I get fast or slow transitions in same stroke and easy to fine-tune later if needed. (But this can be done with the Roll-tool if Blade is used - so it might be as easy)
Final
• Resize to 100% and Center
Video is done
Audio - very close to this by changing the level so that best audio will dominate
• Pen tool here too
But that's me - the Alchroma way is as good as this or may be better for some

I have Acrobat 9 on a PC I no longer use. I want to download and re-install on a different PC. What is the best way to do this?
Hi Chaos2015,
Could you please specify whether you have Acrobat 9 Pro or Standard version.
You need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine and then install on the new one from a CD/DVD and then activate with the same serial key.
If you do not have installation media, then you can download the Pro version from the below mentioned link:
Download Acrobat products | 9, 8
Please note that you can activate the software on maximum two computers. For example: Your desktop at work and laptop at home

Your PC should recognise the iPhone as a camera and you can simply treat it as one.
Programs like Photoshop can import photos from it or you can use Camera and Scanner Wizard to import instead.
You can also double-click the iPhone in My Cmputer and drag and drop -
There are way too many photos on my internal hard drive. I have older libraries, and newer libraires in iPhoto and Aperture 2. What is the best way to find and reduce the number of duplicate photos/libraries before upgrading to Aperture 3?
Sharon-
Good idea.
Back up first.
I would probably wait for the merge function of the latest version before merging. Be sure to verify every merge.
Merge Libraries, then from within Aperture move images to referenced on external hard drives.

Form fields in LiveCycle. I want to allow users to add URLs to a form so that they can be clicked and opened on the web by form reviewers (users). what is the best way to achieve this?
Once the user has entered the URL they want to add to the form. You can use the loadXML function to implement some special text in a label...
var linkValue = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><exData contentType=\"text/html\" xmlns=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.8/\"><body xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" xmlns:xfa=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/\" xfa:APIVersion=\"Acroform:2.7.0.0\" xfa:spec=\"2.1\"><p style=\"font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;letter-spacing:0in\">The new link the user have entered is:<a href=\"" + textfield.rawValue + "\">textfield.rawValue</a></p></body></exData>";
this.resolveNode("lblURL").value.exData.loadXML(linkValue, 1, 1); -
I have a 4 month long text message thread conversation. What's the quickest way to get to the very beginning of the conversation?
The startup.exe file is locate in the \NI-RT\STARTUP directory. 'cd NI-RT' then 'cd STARTUP' should get you to the right place after making the connection with ftp. I don't recognize PH_EXEC.EXE. Logging in as anonymous is fine. I don't recall seeing documentation on the file structure and locations on the module but I'm sure there is some. I just wandered around w/ftp.
The program to update the node should be below. Enter the IP address, the green light will confirm the node is found.
The version function scans the existing startup.exe for a string beginning and ending with " RU Version " and prints everything in between as the version.
The autostart function will copy the existing ni-rt.ini file to your computer, mod
ify the autostart as requested, then put the file back. Leaves the copy on the PC, which can be handy.
Send file will request a file of the format startup*.dat which will be renamed startup.exe and ftp'd to the module. Lets you keep version numbers in the filename on the PC side. Your directory structure probably won't match mine so you'll have to browse for your file.
Reboot module reboots the module.
Hope this is useful, let me know if anything doesn't make sense. Thanks.
Matt

Custom Login Module from OAS 10.1.3.1
