Interface too subtle?

While I do love the quiet, elegant interface of LR, I often find that it is too subtle, particularly the difference in grays between the chosen photo in a series of selected photos. While I can see it in the main grid, oftentimes it takes me a while to find the selected photo in the filmstrip. I'd love to be able to specify these colors or get a bolder color outline of the selected photo (like green or purple--something bright and instantly obvious).

Agree. Way too many shades of gray used to describe a certain state or item - too easy to get lost between them. Also too many divider lines and bevels everywhere.
In grid mode:
- grid background
- unselected non-top stack item (same as grid background)
- default thumbnail
- default thumbnail (mouse over)
- selected thumbnail
- most selected thumbnail
Aperture's approach seems to me much more usable (and visually nicer too):
- borders for selection AND shades of gray for stacks
- NO mouse over at all and NO placeholders for thumbnails.
b I would like to know what others think about this. Why need those square image placeholders?
For me, the just clutter the workspace with their beveled margins and also lose space because all the images take a certain amount of vertical space even if all are horizontal.

  • Cs6 user interface too small to use

    I have just bought a new laptop with a high resolution screen - 2560x1440 - and like many others, I'm finding that the user interface for my cs6 software is too small to use.
    I have just found the following advice for HiDPI devices on Adobe Illustrator Help:
    For displays with resolution greater than or equal to 2560*1440, Illustrator can be launched at 1.5 times or 2 times scaled-up UI, depending on the OS text size.
    I'm not very computer savvy, and I don't know how to do that - can anybody help please?

  • VISACOM - Alloc Error using 488.2 USB-B Interface - too many open sessions

    I have been having the following issue in my VB .NET RF-ATE application.... It usually happens when my program enters a measurement loop (I.E. searching for P1dB). It begins to solve for P1dB and performs about 15 cycles (sets power level on SigGen and takes SpecAn meas) and then crashes due to the following error :
    As Logged in the Event Viewer :
    VISA: May 13 09:45:22: Error=bfff003c,"VI_ERROR_ALLOC: Insufficient system resources/memory": ViTable::add - too many open sessions
    As Logged in VB .NET :
    An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in RFATE.exe
    Additional information: HRESULT = 8004003c
    VI_ERROR_ALLOC
    Not sure why its happening my code is pretty solid (or so I thought) and I believe it closes the VISA session properly after each R/W operation? (See attached). I call the same procedure to talk to the GPIB instruments over and over.
    Is it possible that I am not freeing and disposing of resources properly? I have read a little about destructors in .NET etc. but I was under the impression that as soon as "Sub End" is executed that the resources were free'd up? But that doesn't explain why I would get a "too many open sessions" error occour if I am closing the session after I am finished?
    Another odd thing to note is that I have created testplan scripts and loaded them into my application with literally hundreds of measurement commands and my program didn't crash then???
    I am very new to VB and .NET (3 months) so I have a lot to learn but I can't understand why this is occouring. Any help is appreciated.

    Just posting a followup... Turns out I found a way to make it work! (I have been fighting this for almost 3 days!).
    If you look at the variable declarations of my procedure.....
    Sub GPIB(ByVal Addr As Object, ByRef Data As Object, ByVal IO As String)
    Dim ioMgr As Ivi.Visa.Interop.ResourceManager
    Dim instrument As Ivi.Visa.Interop.FormattedIO488
    Dim session As Ivi.Visa.Interop.IMessage
    I use the "IMessage" interface for the variable session.
    Just before the "Sub End" is executed I use the following line to close the session :
    session.Close
    Which it would appear doesn't close the session properly when you use the "IMessage" interface.
    So I changed the line to use the "IVisaSession" interface instead :
    Dim session As Ivi.Visa.Interop.IVisaSession
    Now when the Close method is executed aparently it closes the session properly because my program isn't crashing at all!
    I was using VISA COM 3.0 Reference object (GlobMgr.dll).
    If anyone has any insight on this please do share.

  • Lightroom 5 Interface Too Big

    I updraged to Lightroom 5 and noticed that the interface is a lot bigger than Lightroom 4.  I have an Acer Aspire S7 which has one of those HiDPI displays.  Is there any way to get the interface the size it was in Lightroom 4.

    I did that, but it didn't do anything.

  • ITunes interface too much "in my face"

    hi gang,
    small problem, but it still bugs me. i have a decent sized library (85 gigs) and i enjoy looking around and just tweeking on it much as i used to enjoy more or less fondling my old record collection. i generally have music playing while i do so. what bugs me is that, no matter where i am in my library, when the song that's playing ends iTunes will jump back to show me the next song in the list and i have to go fishing my way back to find where i was goofing around before.
    any way to tell iTunes "hey, thanks but no thanks. if i want to see what's playing at any given time i can just do a command-L but until then, kindly leave me to my tweeking" ? it's kind of jarring.
    anyways, enjoy your weekend everybody and happy holidays!!

    The way I get around this is to put thiings I want to play in party shuffle,
    then play the party shuffle. This way you can mess around as much as you want in the "music" area and it doesn't jump around. Command-L will still jump you to the currently playing track.

  • CO 1SRJ-001: Too many line items selected via report interface

    Report group/report 1SRJ/1SRJ-001 (CCentres: Rolling Year):  provides an overview for the last 12 periods of actual and plan data.
    When you access line item report RKAEP000 (KSB1 or KSBP) from report Cost Centres Rolling Year (1SRJ-001) using the report/report interface, too much data is selected.
    For example, you enter fiscal year 2009 and month 8 in selection parameters, the report generates results for the last 12 periods:  2008/9 to 2009/8.  But the line item report accessed via report interface selected ALL data for the fiscal years 2008 and 2009.
    I searched and found Note 127643 that described a similar but not exactly the same situation.  Have anyone have any problems with this report?  Any suggestion is appreicated.
    Regards,

    Issue with report 1SRJ-001 (S_ALR_87013631) has been resolved.  The interfaced line item report selects all data records for fiscal years 2008 and 2009, instead of just for the selected last 12 months.  The problem is due to missing restrictions for a characteristic, in this case, the from-period and to-period fields.
    SAP has corrected the problem by issuing an updated version (1999) and the one we were using was the 1995 version.  I imported the updated version of report from client 000 and now it works fine.

  • English dictionaries in iBooks not available in russian interface

    Hello!
    I am using russian language interface on my iphone 4 and I often read books in english via iBooks, so I need to define words from time to time. Before updating to iOS 7 I haven't experienced any problems with that, but after update iBooks says it has no dictionaries. I know about the manage button and that I can download dictionaries I need (American english new oxford for example) - I did all that, but after closing app it resets those settings and when I open it again it says no dictionaries. I also tried:
    -Updating to iOS 7.1
    -Resetting phone settings
    -Reinstalling iBooks
    -Switching to english interface - which actually helped, but I want it to be working in russian interface too.
    Is there anything left to try? Or I need to contact apple? How do I do that?
    Thanks!
    Dimitri.

    I meant your last-used keyboard, which I thought might be Russian.  The dictionary should be available in all Apple apps.  Do you have the same problem in Notes?

  • Question about interface for recording electric guitar and vocals

    Ok, I've been messing around with Garageband all day, totally stoked and I'm ready to get into it. Right now I'm using a First Act quarter inch plug to USB cord to hook up my guitar and start recording and after some messing around I got it to work.
    Here's my question... to really make quality recordings, what's the best way to hook up the guitar? Is the way I'm doing it now fine with the USB cord or is some sort of interface better? Can someone recommend one that's on the cheap side? Also, I haven't tried yet, but what's the best way to record vocals? Should I invest in a USB mic? Can anyone recommend one? I have a Shure SM58 already, what's the best way to hook that up?
    Really excited about this, can't wait to start cranking out some songs!
    PS: When I use the USB cord, I don't see any way to control the recording level, and sometimes I get a Feedback control warning. How can I lower the level so I don't get that? Thanks!

    I have a total now of 4 interfaces - I recently purchased a FOCUSRITE SAPPHIRE 6 USB - it's amazing quality and I only paid $149 for it at my local Guitar Center. I use it with my Guitar and everything sounds fantastic - they say the preamps are really high-quality for Mics too... I recommend it. I have a firewire interface too but the Sapphire is my man baby now - don't let the USB 1.1 fool you - it works flawlessly with my Mac and my Windows 7 machine too. It also comes with a selection of software including Ableton Live Lite and 4 really nice Focusrite plug-ins too.

  • Problem in Interface Determination

    Hi All,
        While trying to do webservices using webdynpro i was able to do the repository part without any errors but while trying to do configuration i'm facing a problem in interface determination.
    I'm unable to find my interface mapping in the interface determination.
    While trying to search for the interface mapping its showing me as "no objects found".
    Could anyone help me out in this regard.
    Thanks in Advance
    Madhu

    Hi,
    As said by Moorthy, you should able to see interface mapping.You just Copy the interface mapping name from IR and insert at Interface Mapping in interface determination.To insert Interface mapping , right click choose Insert option from context.Save & activate Interface determination.If it is activated successfully every thing is ok.Otherwise once you should check as said by Moorthy and check Namespace of Interface too.Hope this will solve your problem.

  • Midi controller / audio interface

    hi - After years of working with Cubase on a PC, i have become a brand new mac convert and have just invested in a macbook pro with logic express.
    I am looking for recommendations for getting midi in & out of the computer as well as a good audio interface. I play keyboards and will use an external midi sound module for sounds so midi latency (as near as possible to zero) is important as is audio quality and I am looking to buy a new midi controller keyboard. Am i right in thinking that the new breed of keyboards will act as the midi interface too?
    Finally if there are any good "starting out" reading resources you can point me to that would be greatfully appreciated!
    thanks

    Hi Alex,
    Welcome to the Forum!
    You already have the solution on the back of your mind,
    Most midi keyboard controllers can be pluged via USB to your computer, and act as a midi interface for other modules too,
    some of them also have an audio input.
    As you don't state any buget, my only advice will go to the audio interface,
    each one has it's own preferences, and I'm sure it's going to rain answer on that matter; go for an Firewire interface to audio (USB's weak), also take a look at your internal HD (I believe it's an 5400rpm drive) you need and external HD 7200rpm in that case for audio.
    Finally, if the resources you looking are about Le, instead of reading
    the best I fiound to date is Martin Sitter's videos:

  • CC Interface Problems

    Is there any way to get the CS6-style interface back in CC? CC is HIDEOUS! Also, in all previous versions of InDesign, the numeric keypad could be used for editing by pressing Num Lock. This no longer seems to work in CC, and it is something I use constantly in InDesign. I'm "forced" to use CC at work occasionally, but in my freelance work it looks like I'll be staying at CS6 unless these two things can be changed.

    Ceci n'est pas une solution complète, malheureusement.
    This is not a complete solution, unfortunately. While I CAN change the 1-9 keys to mimic the way the numeric keypad used to work in every version of PageMaker, InDesign, and InDesign CS (but sadly no longer in CC), I can't use modifiers with it. The way it worked before CC was that you could click NumLock and take it out of "calculator" mode, and the keys worked like this:
    Using gigiad's advice, I WAS actually able to make keyboard shortcuts to match this, but I can't use shift or cmd in conjunction with them, so while I can move right using 6, I can't hold down shift and 6 and select characters, and I can't hold down cmd and 6 and move forward by words instead of characters. So this is still a bit frustrating, having to move back and forth from the numeric keypad to the little cross-arranged arrow keys on the main keyboard. I'm not a luddite and I do embrace change (when it's for the better), but when you've been doing something for 20 years and it's a fast and efficient way of editing, it's a major PITA to have to do it in a slower, less efficient way.
    Plus in Mac OS X Mountain Lion and Mavericks, they made it so the numeric keypad keys do NOT repeat, which makes sense if all you're ever using them for is a calculator. This affected the way I work in CS6 and below because I could no longer hold down one of the numeric keypad keys and have it repeat, but I found a little command on Mac OS X Hints to use in Terminal that reverses this behavior to pre-Lion repeatability (defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false).
    There's still the matter of the overall ugly-looking CC interface, too. *Soupire*

  • Transmission torrent web interface pc not working

    This never bothered me before as I have quickly found a work around for this but I have always wondered why this doesnt work for me.
    I cant seem to get the torrent app to fully load. it just seems to not load all the way.
    So I only see this, 
    and it never advances from there.
    Like I said I found workarounds were i can see torrent downloads from web apps like: Android, Xbox 360, and Xbox one. But none of my PCs can display it properly.
    Any help From somome that has figured this out to display properly would be appriciated.
    Nas info:
    EZ Media and Backup Center 2TB
    Version:4.1.104.31360
    Transmission Torrent: 4.0.30086

    Hi Wicked.. well.. the answer i'm about to give you, you will not like because i didn't like it either and has similar issues that you were having.
    I have a the ix4-300D and had transmission working just fine on my NAS and then did an update to the firmware in early 2014 that basically broke transmission. Mine didn't even start or load any web interface.  I tried everything including: reseting of web configuration of Nas (holding reset button), uninstalling and installing of transmission app (mine wouldn't even reinstall) and finally even backuped all data to external storage and full wipe of drives and nas config but sitll no go...  
    I was then forced to call Lenovo (i am still under support/warranty).  They then sent me a link to a previous firmware version and a usb disk imaging image/tool that i then basically restored the default image and then upgraded to the latest firmwares and since then have not had any issues.
    Twonky settings now save when changed in the web interface too!  however migrating 10+ TB of data to 5-6 external hdds IS NOT FUN! 
    hope that helps buddy!

  • Good MIDI Control/Keyboard interface?

    Hello,
    I recently made the switch to Mac, I was just using the input on my old P.C. to record mono line out from a Crate amp and Fruity Loops for some simple drum loops. Needless to say now that I'm a Mac user I'm ready to step it up a notch (or two ha) and get some real equipment.
    I was wondering if anyone could suggest what they think would be a good MIDI controller or keyboard interface to go with?
    I want to get a decent audio interface too, something with XLR and 1/4" inputs.
    price range $150-$250 (for now)
    thanks so much.
