Importing with a preset action, then undoing it?

i imported a raw file with a color boost action and i want to undo it, reverting back to how it was taken in camera. any one can help me? thank you!

Use Reset at the bottom of the right hand panel in Develop. Or you can select General Zeroed in the Develop presets.

Can't Use Shortcuts with Photoshop Preset Actions

I haven't been able to get my shortcuts to work in CS4 when I set them for individual actions within the actions palette. I do understand how to both set actions and their shortcuts. I also understand how to use the shortcuts. I have successfully done each of the processes in the past, but haven't been able to get them to work since installing them on my new computer.
For example, I have a photo effect I like and use frequently, so I created an action for it. I gave it the shortcut (Command + F1). When I press the Command and F1 buttons, nothing happens. If I change the shortcut to (Shift + F1), when I press the appropriate keys, it simply changes the brightness of my screen, as F1 on my keyboard also decreases the brightness of my screen.
I'd definitely appreciate any ideas!
Thank you!

Mac OS is overriding the function keys. You need to hold down the "fn" key (in the lower left of the keyboard on Macbook Pros) the Function key (in the group of keys between the main keyboard and number keys on an extended Mac keyboard) in addition to the function key in order for it to work.

Import using develop presets won't work!

Hi all,
I just upgraded from LR2 to LR3. A lot to hate in this new version. But I suppose one needs to adjust and no doubt I will, but there is one thing that is about to drive me up the wall. Something I haven't been able to fix, so here I am, looking for a bit of help.
Here's the problem:
Because I don't like Lightroom's Sharpening & Noise Reduction settings, I used a preset in LR2 that I applied automatically when importing my images into LR. Now, with Lightroom 3 this just won't work properly and I get exclamation marks, indicating those images are not in the 2010 develop environment. I realised I was using my old presets, created in LR2, so that made sense. So I first deleted all my old presets and to make sure, I also deleted my metadata preset that I also apply on import. I couldn't find a way to delete those presets from within Lightroom by the way. So I just went to the library and trashed them manually...
Next:
I open LR3. Now I have no user presets anymore, of any kind. I then import the first image of today's shoot. In the develop module I make sure that I'm working in the 2010 process environment. I set Sharpening and Noise Reduction to what I want them to be and make them a preset. Then I made another preset for my metadata. But after importing the rest of today's shoot with the presets I have just created, it will not accept the 2010 settings and I get the exclamation mark with every image. I have checked that the culprit is not the metadata file. If I use only that to import an image and leave the Develop Settings on None, all is well, and the image is regarded as being in the 2010 process state. If I then *manually* apply my earlier created Noise Reduction/Sharpening preset, it accepts it and all is well. But as soon as I try to apply that same preset again when importing my images, then, when I go to the develop module, the image is suddenly in the 2003 environment again and I get the exclamation marks. I have tried everything I can think of but I cannot escape it any longer: I have been defeated by Lightroom 3. What on earth am I doing wrong here? Anybody?

Yes, I get the same thing with the sliders being greyed out. Funny thing is that the sliders *are* set exactly as in my preset and when I click 'yes update' to 2010 standards, the settings don't change but only the sliders become accessible. The thing is that I really don't want to be doing that with every import, even if you can do the whole batch at once. What I don't understand is that when I import with the preset turned off and apply it in Lightroom's Develop Module, it accepts it without a problem but that when I use the same preset on import, it won't work properly.
Now what the poster in the other thread said was:
"When I saved a new preset and selected to also save the process version, a line in the preset was created: ProcessVersion = "5.7". When I cut and paste that into all my other presets then the sliders were all active when I used them."
I have no idea what he is talking about or how one would do that. When I create a preset I simply click the + sign and in the pop up window select what I want, give it a name and that's it.
Edit: Sorry, I apparently overlooked the Process Version box in the preset panel! Must have been a case of not seeing the forest for the trees. Problem solved. Thanks.

LR5 crashes on import with 'Upright' dev preset

I created a new develop preset to apply Upright Mode and Upright Transforms, under Lens Corrections. I then updated one of my import presets to apply that develop preset during import. Every time I import using that preset, Lightroom 5 crashes: Windows reports that it has stopped working, and offers to send crash details to MS. Once I altered that same import preset to no longer apply that new develop preset, the import works flawlessly. I can apply that develop preset to individual images without issue.
If it's pertinent, the images being imported are from a Canon Powershot 310HS.

Certainly! Sorry for the delay; I'm on the road.
Below is the contents of my preset. Note that occasionally, I also simply see LR5 crash while working in it, and not using the develop module, let alone importing or auto-straightening.
Also, I'm not sure why the preset contains a clarity adjustment of 0, since I did not check that portion while making the preset--perhaps just the way LR does it?

Import Saved Document Presets from older PS to PS CC 2014

Is there a way to import saved document presets from older versions of Photoshop into Photoshop CC 2014? I have a fair amount of document presets I use almost daily and it'd be a pain to have to enter all of them again to save them.

If you create an action set with just the one action and save the set upload the uploade it to the web and post a link to the .atn file we can download the action and test that on our machines. You will get feedback from both Mac and PC users. It sound odd that it would work once then fail the second time. Was Photoshop CC 2014 up before you used bridge menu tools>photoshop>batch the first time or was Photoshop started because you used tools>photoshop>batch. If is was not up did you try closing PS down before the second batch?

Lightroom imports with 100 clarity

Hello people,
i have the strange problem that lightroom imports always with 100 clarity. There is definitely something wrong with my presets, just don't know how to change that. Thanks for any suggestions, tobfl

If you apply a preset during the import process, that preset will be applied to all images that are imported. Another way to apply a preset to all images would be to have multiple images highlighted in the develop module and have auto-sync enabled.
The first thing I would suggest that you try is to reset the clarity on one of those newly imported images, changing nothing else. Then, save new camera defaults. Then I would check in your import dialog to make sure you haven't chosen a preset to be applied during the import process. Next, take a test image and import it.

Save a copy of an open .ai file as a pdf file with personal preset

Hi all,
I am currently working on the schematics of a quite big document and I am using Illustrator. I work on the .ai version of the figures but I want to save them in a very quick way as pdf files with personal setting (super compression, no preview...). What I am doing now is that I have my .ai file open, and when I want to save a pdf version of it I go to "File" then "Save a copy" then "Type: pdf" and I enter a name, I click on "Save" and a window pops up with some options. Here, I select a personal preset and then click on "Save pdf" and I am happy with the final saved pdf. The thing is that it is a quite long process when you have to do it several times per figure. I tried to automatized it through a script (or action) but the available options are quite limited (it is hard to make Illustrator understand that if the current file is myfig.ai, I want a myfig.pdf and that I want to save it in the working folder). Under "File", I also tried the "SaveDocsAsPdf" script but once again, I have to select the folder where I want to save the figure and so on. Maybe I missed something. I'd be happy to hear that there is a very efficient way to save my figures as pdf by clicking a the F9 key (for instance).
Thank you for your help

I somehow found a technique that helps. It is kinda stupidly simple. Instead of working on the .ai file in Illustrator to finally save a pdf, I work this other way around. It goes much faster. I just have to hit ctrl+s to test how the created figure is included in the final document instead of all this very long process. When I am happy, I save an .ai version for further modifications later of necessary.

Undo with Memento pattern vs swing undo

I was tempted to add this question to the end of http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=425&thread=440740&tstart=0&trange=15 but I've had a poor response in the past by adding a question to the end of an existing thread.
I am working on a project with a rather poor implementation of undo where every Action has to extend an UndoableAction and a copy of the Action itself is stored on the undo queue. This gives me the following problems -
1. Only Actions are undoable, not events such as scolling the display area.
2. We can't make use of an other Action hierarchy other than one with an UndoableAction ancestor.
I'm familiar with the idea of implementing undo/redo using the memento pattern.
My plan is to modify this code so that Actions record current state in a Memento and store that memento in an undo queue instead. Events such as scrolling can then create and store mementos also.
In my plans to implement this someone brought up the swing undo mechanism. I've had little success in finding how to implement swing undo on anything other than a simple text field. It also seems to be something that is based around the control rather than the model.
We have various complex models to keep in synch plus several views onto those models. It seems simpler to me to generate mementos on Actions that effect the model (at least it's something I understand). When a memento gets undone all views listening to model changes will update anyway.
Can anyone see an argument to use swing undo in preference? If so can anyone point me to a better example for implementing swing undo on anything other than text edit controls.
Thanks
Bob.

I don't know much about the Swing undo but it seems unlikely that it would handle anything complex. It would only be able to keep track of changes in the graphical representation of you data, not the model behind it.

Import, Export and Preset settings from TimeMachine

I'd like to recover only my Import, Export and Preset settings of Aperture 3.0 from my backup disk using TimeMachine. Can someone pls guide me on what files to look for and where to find them? (I just reformatted my MBP and hence this query).
Thanks in advance.

You will find the setting in your User Library in the folder
Your Home Directory > Library > Application Support > Aperture
Everything with "preset" in its name might be interesting to you.
Reveal the User Library by going to the Finder main menu bar, select "Go" and hold down the "option" key, until you see the Library in the drop down menu. Select it.
In the Library Finder window navigate to the "Application Support" folder, then "Aperture".
Drag the Aperture folder to the Finder Sidebar for easy access, then open Time Machine.
Go back in Time to the time you want to restore from, then restore the "Aperture Folder" to your Desktop and copy the files you need to your Library.

Rerun tts import with ASM

I am doing a data migration from one platform to another (itanium, shared file system to linux ASM). I went through the process to import all datafiles into ASM with Rman, and I was ready to import the metadata.
I messed up, and forgot to create the system trigger setting the proper date format for some default column values.. My import worked but many of the objects failed creation. Now I have a database with the tablespaces imported, but I want to rerun my import. If I drop the tablespaces including contents (to remove the metadata), I will lose my datafiles and I will have to start over.
1) is there anyway to drop a tablespace without dropping the datafiles so I can rerun ??
2) is there anyway to rerun a transportable tablespace import once it has a partial success ??
3) what is my best option.
At this point, I am probably going to shutdown the database, and remove the non-imported tablespaces (system, undo, etc), recreate the database, then rerun the import with the new "shell" leaving the TTS datafiles I already copied over intact.. This is time consuming, and I am hoping to find a better solution
Any ideas would be appreciated.

1. Straight from the documentation ([DROP TABLESPACE|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b10759/statements_9004.htm|DROP TABLESPACE]):
Oracle Database removes from the data dictionary all metadata about the
tablespace and all datafiles and tempfiles in the tablespace. The
database also automatically drops from the operating system any
Oracle-managed datafiles and tempfiles in the tablespace. Other
datafiles and tempfiles are not removed from the operating system
unless you specify INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES.
HTH!

Match Footage with Sequence Preset?

I got some problem with matching my imported footage with my Sequence Presets. I'm new to
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and have tried to read me to a solution here on the forum but need some more help.
I have found some similar topics and can confirm that my problem is most likely caused by a mismatch between my Sequence settings and the source.
Can someone maybe guide me through the sequese presets step by step and the general specs as well to create a good editing base for my project.
I read that G-Spot was a good tool to get all info of the source file and here´s the source file properties I would like to match:
I want the best possible quality out of my filmed footage, booth video and audio but I don't really know how to match those settings.
I really appreciate all help I can get here.

Welcome to the forum.
One should go about this in the opposite direction - matching the Sequence Preset to the footage.
It looks like you have PAL Widescreen, and that would be the Preset to choose.
If one has odd footage, PrPro provides a way to alter the Sequence Preset - the Desktop Preset, which allows one to customize most attributes to match. Say that you have that same footage, except that it was shot at 18 FPS (not the normal 25 FPS), in the Desktop Preset, you could change to 18 FPS. That holds for more attributes.
Then, if one wants something else, when the Export, most formats/CODEC's will allow them to make the change there.
Starting with a Preset that matches the footage 100% will give the best editing experience, and the fewest issues.
One note: you are dealing with MPEG-2 footage, so it has already been pretty heavily compressed, resulting in an initial loss in quality. With most Export options, one will compress that footage again, resulting in another loss in quality. The ultimate workflow would be to go back to before the MPEG-2 compression, if at all possible. If not, then one just has to live with the quality loss.
Good luck, and hope that this helps,
Hunt
[Edit] I see that you have AC3 Audio. That might, or might not pose an issue. What exact version of PrPro do you have? With about CS4.2, AC3 Audio support was built into the program. Before that, one had to find the AC3 .dll file in Encore, and copy it over to the main PrPro folder. The exact name of that .dll file depends on the version of PrPro and Encore, that one has.

Need help with simple folder action or script

I have created an export preset in Lightroom that exports images to a folder called "To Email" on my hard drive, and then automatically attaches those images to a new email in my email client (Mailplane).
It's a great solution that allows me to send a photo via email with one click from Lightroom. However, I want to take it a step further by creating a folder action or script that automatically deletes the image after it is attached to the email. This will allow me to put the folder somewhere deeper in my file system without having to worry about cleaning it out all the time.
Unfortunately, I have no experience with Automator or AppleScript. Can you help? Thanks.

I think you need to rework elements of your workflow.
For example, you say the export preset creates and sends the email.
If this is the case, the the logical place to make your change would be to edit that preset action (I don't have Lightroom to know whether this is an option there or not).
The problem with using a Folder Action is that the Folder Action will trigger when the file is dropped in the folder, but that will be before the email is generated or sent, so you run the risk of deleting the file before it's sent.
So if you can't edit the export preset to do the deletion I would suggest decoupling the 'send an email' and 'delete file' elements from the Lightroom action - in other word change Lightroom to just export the file, and have a separate folder action that triggers when files are added to that folder. The folder action script can take care of generating the email and sending it out, knowing when the email is sent and therefore when it's safe to delete the file.
WIthout seeing more of the current workflow it's not easy to be more specific.

Working in Logic 9, how do I use a drum loop WITH ITS PRESET EFFECTS? I can drag and drop the loop but it plays dry in timeline. thanks

Working in Logic 9, how do I use a drum loop WITH ITS PRESET EFFECTS? I can drag and drop the loop but it plays dry in timeline. thanks

Here's the short-cut solution:
Green Apple tracks are MIDI files (so to speak). If you drag one from the loop browser (Capitol C Orchestral hit, as you mentioned in this exable) directly into the arrange page it creates the MIDI file and the instrument to play it back on.
HOWEVER.If you create and audio track first, THEN drag the green Apple loop onto that track, the loop will get "bounced" with the reverb in tact and you'll have the exact sound that you heard in the preview.
Make sense?

Is Verizon going to end up with a Class Action Lawsuit regarding the Trade-In Scam?

I notice I'm not the first to report this issue. In fact, after reading the horror stories in the community, I'm questioning if going with Verizon Wireless and/or using their online trade-in program was the right thing to do. I see so many other people experiencing the same nightmare, I figure it's just a matter of time until there's a Class Action Lawsuit against them regarding their Trade-in Scam of 2014.
I was lured to Verizon by their promotion of receiving $200 for my iPhone 4s. I pre-ordered my iPhone 6 online on 9/12. Following the check-out, I was given the option to complete the online trade-in program. My iPhone 4s was in perfect condition as it was kept in a LifeProof case since day 1. Being in that condition made it eligible for the full $200 trade-in value.
My iPhone 6 arrived on time. I transferred my data from the iPhone 4s to the iPhone 6. Then ensured the 'find my phone' feature was turned off, all passwords unlocked and factory reset completed. Then I fully charged the phone and turned it off prior to packing into the provided trade-in program materials/envelope.
I was a little concerned about the trade-in program materials/envelope. The envelope itself was nothing more than a padded envelope. It was a pre-printed business reply envelope. No tracking number other than a bar code with my submission id on it and then stamped with the word PROMO. I was hesitant to drop it in a mailbox so I took it right into my local post office. That was on 9/23.
I started checking the trade-in status a week later but the status was 'Not Received'. Another week later, same thing. Finally, I reached out to the trade-in program via email on 10/11. I received a 'canned' response back on 10/16 that I should wait 4-6 weeks for my gift card. That time period includes a 2-3 for inspection and processing from the date of receipt at the warehouse.
On 10/25, I reached out again to the trade in program via email. On 10/26, I received the very same response... word for word. I reached out again on 11/7 and they didn't even reply. I tried calling but got no where by phone. They claim they'll escalate the issue but I never hear back.
I really feel scammed out of $200 by using this online trade-in program. The guideline stipulated that I must use the supplied packing materials and envelope or the promotion amount would not be guaranteed; however, without tracking there is no way to know where the phone is.
Come on Verizon... you lured me in, now do the right thing and send me the $200 gift card I was promised.

I've gone through the same process as you've described with a different twist. They advised me that the screen on
my phone was cracked. They are sending me $36 instead of the Appraised Value of $200. I'm not an Attorney
but I would bet it would be an easy win over Verizon in a Class Action, because this whole process smells
bad. There must be tens of thousands of people getting ripped off and they're not all liars, which is what Verizon would have a judge believe. Contract or no contract, most states prohibit Agreements that would negate consumer protection
from fraudulent business practices.
Verizon may play hardball with it's disenchanted customers and there isn't much you can do as an individual.
This just happened with me on one phone and I'm waiting for news of a second phone that I sent at the same time.
In the meantime I will visit the Verizon Store and talk to the salesperson who sold me the two new iPhone 6's
and see what he can do. I will also contact my local Better Business Bureau office for their advice. If there's no satisfaction, I will keep the phones, stop paying my bill and get a new carrier. They can take me to court, but I will be there first in@ Small Claims Court. I'm retired so I have time to do this stuff, but most people can't, so the best bet is still a
good Lawyer with a Class Action Suit and lots of negative publicity in the papers and the internet.

Importing with a preset action, then undoing it?
