I need help choosing the correct Photo Shop product for my needs.

I sell items on Ebay, my photos are often blurry, have shadows or do not show fine details. How do I know which photo shop product is best for my needs?

I agree with Silkrooster's answer, however I will also say that starting by taking a "good" photo will help you a ton, even before you bring it into a photo editor. It may just be that you need to create a makeshift lighting setup (to avoid problematic shadows), or try taking your photos with a tripod (to avoid blurring).
Here is a link with some really great tips to help you with product photography.
I would also recommend that you check out Adobe Lightroom, which is a program created specifically for photographers. Below is a video showing how a photo can be vastly improved in 5 minutes! I hope you find this helpful.

Need help picking the correct hard drive upgrade for my MBP

I need help picking the correct/best hard drive upgrade for my MBP. It is the 15" 2GHz Core Duo. Came with a spacious 90GB drive.
Suggestions and recommendations very appreciated.

It will take almost any 2.5 inch sata drive.
Take a look at www.newegg.com and www.macsales.com to see what's out there and how much it costs.
Toshiba have a 320gb 2,.5 inch drive in the works, but it's not quite out yet and will be expensive.
I'll start you off..

Need help on the correct directory extract structure for SP15 .SAR files

Hi all,
With the help of many here I have been able to finally download all the SP15 files I need for my EP 6.0 on WAS 6.40. I am currently on SP11 for both EP and WAS and want to move up to SP15.
I downloaded all the .SAR files and did SAPCAR -xvf all from within a temp directory I created. Yes, some of the LABEL.ASC files were being overwritten.
After all the extracts, I ran SAPINST and it did start, but unlike when I ran SP11, I had options for KM, EP, Tools, etc. This time it only presented me with options for the WAS and the first option was "Import Support Package 15" (with the other options being for dialog instances). There was nothing about EP, Tools, KM, etc.
I ran the Import option and it completed successfully. I then thought it either did everything or if I reran it the other options (for EP, KM, etc.) would now show up. Of course, I was wrong.
So where am I exactly going wrong regarding extracting all the .SAR files into the proper directory structure so that SAPINST runs correctly?
Please help if you can.
Many thanks,
Mike

Hello Mike,
I think you extracted the files for the J2ee engine. Generally you will have a different SAPINST for Portal. Please refer the stack guide for SPS15 Page 22 for the files you need and the procedure to apply it.

Need help choosing the best laptop or desktop for video editing.

Hi guys. I'm a videographer and am in need of upgrading my current Dell Dimension 8300 desktop to either another desktop or a laptop. My current Dell is just too slow. It takes forever to render a video.
Anyhow, what do you guys recommend for video editing? I'd like something with plenty of hard drive space, plenty of memory, and a powerful video card. There are just too many to choose from and was hoping to get some feedback.
Thank you,
Brian

You can find a fairly cheap quad core desktop with a nice video card. So if you need something that will last a while and not cost too much I would go this route.
If you want a laptop, put yourself in one of these categories: someone who needs high mobility/battery life (14 in screen or smaller), someone who needs high mobility with a big screen (15.4in), or someone who needs a powerful computer with a big screen (17-18.4 in).
Don't worry too much about laptop brands, only a handful of them actually make their own laptops, most of the big brands use the same two or three laptop manufacturers.
Get the most powerful intel processor you can afford, and put either a 9 series nvidia, or an ati radeon 4800 series in, four gb of ram, and a 7200 rpm hard disk.
After that it really comes down to price and personal style, I would stay away from the hp laptops, the brand that they use doesn't do so well making the internal components.
Here are some good picks.
1) ASUS G Series G50VT-X3 (15.4in)
2) Sager 5793 (17in)
3)ASUS N80 Series N80Vn-X5 (14.1in)
Asus actually manufactures their own laptops, and my experience with them has been spectacular. The Sager is a rebranded Clevo, which is one of the brands alienware, falcon northwest, and other high end companies use.

Need help finding the correct replacement monitor for a T400 laptop

I have a T400 that came with a monitor with these specs: 14.1 WXGA TFT, w/LED backlight. The monitor was damaged and must be replaced.

Will the CCFL monitor work sufficiently in place of the LED backlight monitor?
I appreciate any guidance provided by more technically knowledgeable Lenovo users. Thank you!

You'd be able to do that with Photoshop Elements - a fraction of the cost of Photoshop.

X300 - Need help finding the correct internal DVD Burner

I want to buy and install an internal DVD burner, which I am unable to identify on the Lenovo website. The only internal Ultrathin DVD burners I find fit the x200 series, but nothing for the x300 series. Frustrating.
Mine is a Thinkpad x300, Type 6477, and S/N L3-xxxxx.
Anyone able to help me identify the correct part number?
Thanks!
Moderator Note; s/n edited for members own protection

. . . thanks for the part IDs, lead_org. . . . took your advice and searched ebay for both, but nothing surfaced. . . . so, I entered the parts numbers into Lenovo's Websales site and was unable to find any such part listings for sale anywhere . . . nothing. . . . then, I emailed Lenovo Websales about it . . . they promptly replied that the parts were not in stock, and that I could try purchasing from www.cdw.com . . . I can understand if Lenovo did not have them in stock, but that they would not even LIST the parts was weird. . . . this is a 1-1/2 year old machine . . . are the lifecycles for laptops these days so short that they are unsupported even this fast? . . . I did see a few other sites selling the replacement DVD as new (presumably) for US$300, but none were in stock. . . . if I have no other alternatives, is a DVD the sort of part that is durable enough to reliably purchase used? Thanks!

Need Help Entering the Correct Data on Site Setup Window

[DW CS5 on a Mac OS 10.7.5]
I get an "FTP Error Message" after entering data on the Site Setup window after pressing Test.
I want to upload to my host/server's cPanel one of a number of subdirectories that I have on my root directory. My first attempt at uploading the first subdirectory failed. Can someone help me determine which of my Site Setup entries is incorrect and what the correct entry ought to be?
Perhaps I'm entering incorrect data in the "Root Directory" or Web URL" fields. My host server has given me the correct data, which I've carefully entered. Unfortunately, my testing on the Site Setup window continues to get this message: "An FTP error occurred â cannot open server folder /public_html/alaska/. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem." Support staff at my host/server cannot determine why the uplaod attempts fail.
I'll appreciate your guidance. Thanks, very much.

Brett, thanks for your prompt e-reply.
Unfortunately, removing the entry from DW's Root Directory field enabled a successful test, however, it caused all uploaded files to wind up in my very large root directory. ( :-( I had to do a lot of file management and deletions to clean up the root directory.
My numerous approaches, after receiving your suggestion, appear to have found a successful workaround. Here's what worked:
-- While in cPanel's File Management window, I selected the "/public_html" folder in the left column and clicked "New Folder" from the top toolbar. Once the new subdirectory folder was created, I went directly to the DW app where I then clicked the icon (atop and to the far right of the Files panel) subtitled "Expand to show local and remote sites".
-- With DW's expanded window open, I selected the new folder name in the left half of the window. I then dragged and dropped all the files that were in the right-column's subdirectory's folder to the new folder in the left column.
-- After completing the drag and drop effort, I checked cPanel's File Management window and verified that all files went to the appropriate subdirectory folder.
-- Finally, I opened the site's pages online to see that all worked as intended.
Over all, I wish DW were more reliable, such that when testing setups for *subdirectories* that have "/public_html" in the "Root Directory" field, they will *all* test successfully.
Sadly, Adobe no longer supports CS5. ( :-(
Nevertheless, thanks for your assistance, Brett.

Wrong Songs on iTunes need help getting the correct ones.

I just purchased the album "The Ever Popular Tortured Artist Effect" by Todd Rundgren and two of the songs are different from the title of that iTunes has in the store. They are "Drive" which is playing as "Bang the Drum All Day" and "Hidawy" which is actually "Compasion" that is from a different album from the same artist. If you preview it on the iTunes store it is this way also. How can I get this corrected and either get a credit or the correct song?

The mac version of Premiere will not export as .wmv so I chose the only setting that would allow me said custom resolution and I intended to just convert the file once it was set.
The original source was .jpeg's and a .m4v video

I need help finding the best Creative MP3 player for

I've been searching through the product literature and not finding the information I need to make my decision. I'm hoping the people here might be able to help.
I need one that does MOST if not all of the following:
) Audible audio book support.
This is mandatory since 75% of my usage is books on the commute. If the player will have support "soon" as in the next month, then that is OK. I can limp along with my current player.
2) Bookmarks.
Since I mostly listen to books I need to be able to resume play at any point. It would be great if the player supported a bookmark per file, but I could handle one that only remembered the current position.
3) In-Car use.
By this I mean that it can receive power from a car adapter and will auto shut off and remember the playing position when the power is turned off. I was thinking of using a USB power adapter for the MuVo Tx FM, but I don't know if it will actually play when powered that way. I dri've 2hrs a day and that eats batteries too fast to not use the car power.
Thanks for the help =)

Altair,
The Zen Xtra is the player you want. It currently has all three of the features you want available.
) It supports Audible with the latest firmware.
2) It has a bookmark feature that lets you set multiple bookmarks and recall the position.
3) It has a car mode that makes it shutdown when you turn off your car (assuming that your car outlet turns off when the keys are removed) and restart at where it was when you turn the car back on.

Need help in the installation of BPC7.5 for NW

Hey folks,
I am new to BPC 7.5 for NW. I have installed the version on my local machine.
Do I need to install the same on my server? The configuration, I have below BPC7.5 is BW7.02.
Do I need to install the BPC on BW server or how will it be?
Thanks,
Nobel

Raghu,
A couple of quick ones-
- I have BPC 7.5 for NW client installed on my laptop. Do I need to have an "seperate" Windows Server with the IIS, .NET, MSMQ, Visual Basic runtime, XceedZip, SAP GUI 7.10 etc installed on it?
- My BW server is on AIX, do I apply K-750AGINCPMBPC.SAR on it? Or do I need to have another server for it?
- What is ODBO Client?
- The BPC software which I downloaded, has a folder of server in it which has BPC Server 7.5.exe file. Where do I install this?
Thx!

Need help restoring the CORRECT dates and times to iphoto '09 photos

I have read a lot of stuff on here about restoring dates and times in iphoto only to no avail. All I want to know is: 1 - how did all the dates of my photos get changed in the first place? ; 2 - how can I restore them to their original dates?

Well, I noticed my dates were incorrect weeks ago. The only thing I did was upgrade from '08 to '09. I tried using "adjust date & time" but I would have to know all the dates by memory in order for that to work. My dates are all recent dates. Sorry for the ambiguity.
Forget what I said about the event labels. They are titles I made for each event; however, all of the dates are incorrect. Maybe my camera is to blame!

Help Choosing The Correct App Flow

I have a client that needs certain functionality that I am having trouble coming up with the best solution.
The client has a video academy. Features needed in the academy:
1. There is a monthly fee for academy membership
2. Only one new video added to the academy each month. The academy will launch with 4 videos available.
3. Member may choose between the current months video or a past months video as their video of choice for the current month.
4. Member may also choose more than one video for current month (There is a charge for each additional video chosen)
5. Once member chooses a video/videos for current month those videos is placed in the Members Portal Video Library and is always available to member as long as they keep membership status current
6. EACH INDIVIDUAL VIDEO IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO THOSE MEMBERS WHO HAVE CHOSE THAT ACTUAL VIDEO AS THEIR VIDEO OF CHOICE FOR THE MONTH
7. THE USER MUST CHOOSE THEIR VIDEO FOR THE MONTH OR THE DEFAULT CURRENT MONTHS VIDEO WILL BE ADDED TO THER VIDEO LIBRARY.
Everyones ideas and suggestions are welcome and appreciated, Actually I would love a good debate on why one method is better than another.

I need help choosing the 'right' backup drive(s)

I have a MacBook Pro on which I do mainly video editing. I make DVDs of my family and real estate stuff which I then want to offload from the laptop to my external hard drive. For the purpose of backing up this laptop, I will probably run the backup on an adhoc basis (after I complete a video editing process). By the way I use iMovie 09.
Now, I also have a MacG5 which contains work data (mainly pdfs of contracts for real estate, etc). On this machine, I wish to do a somewhat regular backup. Please excuse information I am leaving out - - this is where you folks can help me.
My question(s) are:
- Should I buy two separate backup devices to be more efficient?
- Are there any brands or specifications I should consider over others (Firewire vs USB)?
I am a novice in this domain and any suggestions or clarification are greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Thanks again for the reply (from some time ago!). I hope to get a reply from you based on my following simplification of how I intend to use my backup. No...I haven't moved forward on my decision of what/how to conduct my backups!
1) I prefer to use a single backup device for each computer
2) I would like to be able to create DVDs of movies, and (if time becomes an issue) do a backup of the DVD
How would you modify your suggestion(s) to me based on these changes?
Thanks!
OK, were I starting from scratch, I would go with the docking station from the OWC link. (I think the price has actually come down $20 since my original post! Man, I love pricing on electronics stuff!) You can easily move it from one computer to another and bare drives are cheaper to purchase and easier to store. If you want a full-time device for each computer, I would probably still recommend the docking station, especially with the price falling like it is.
IMHO, the best storage solution for bare drives is this box from Wiebe Tech, which is sturdy ESD plastic and nearly as compact as the 3.5 inch drive. My backups rotate through a safe deposit box that can hold a bunch of them, though I usually have only two offsite at any one time.
For DVD backups, I have in the past imaged DVDs using Disk Utility, which works out nicely, especially when I need to burn more copies. And you can just mount the image of a video DVD and DVD player comes up and you can watch from the hard drive.

I need help picking the correct power supply for my HP Pavilion a1000

Hello,
I need to replace my power supply on my HP Pavilion a1000. It currently has the original (A Bestec Model: ATX-300-12Z CDR. The HP P/N is 5188-2625.
I found one on ebay that has the same numbers but instead of CDR, it says DDR. I don't really know what that means. The listing is below. Will this work? If not, could you give me a link that would work?
Thanks ahead of time for your help!!

Hi,
Yes the PSU will be ok. It's a desktop so you don't have to use exactly the same PSU. It can be even more powerful but make sure there are all compatible connectors. It looks like the CDR version is only 300W and the DDR 400W. The connectors are the same..
