Iphoto photo import - best image type for max resolution (jpg vs tiff)

What is the recommended image type for maximum resolution of photos brought into iphoto albums, since I will be enlarging them? (ie assuming everything brought into iphoto is set/reduced to a standard resolution, then jpg might allow more digital data for later enlargement; on the other hand tiff is often recommended for best resolution though it requires more space). Thanks, - D

Thanks, Terence - OK, lets assume I shoot a 5-meg photo of a painting and adjust the paralax etc in photoshop so it is perfectly set inside the rectangular format. Now I want to import it into iphoto, knowing that I will use the crop tool to make two blow-up enlargements to go along with the original full-size image... total 3 related images of the artwork. As you mentioned these will eventually go into iweb as part of a series inside an album, with a hyperlink connecting the two enlargements to the full-size image... so viewers can tap to see finer detail and then go back to the overall composition. My question is, for the original photo image of the painting should I drag a 10-meg tiff into iphoto or a 2-meg jpg? (I do not know what importing the image into iphoto does to the original in terms of final image resolution and data size... Will a 2-meg jpg provide sufficient data to work with and enlarge via the cropping, or would the 10-meg tiff be better as a starting point? Or, if everything gets translated into a certain pre-ordained size anyway, would the tiff get watered down to, say, a 2-meg-size image anyway?) Thanks, - D

I cannot move photos from iphone to MacBook. I get an error message that says: Error downloading image. iPhoto cannot import your images because there was a problem downloading an image. How can I fix/remedy this?

I am receiving an error message every time I plug my iPhone 4S into my MacBook: Error downloading image. iPhoto cannot import your images because there was problem downloading an image. How can I fix/remedy this?

Is anybody know best image viewer for Mac..?

Is anybody know best image viewer for Mac..?
I like Windows Explorer Image view .. you just open one file and left and right will scroll though .. can do it in full screen too.
I try a Photo+ and everything is ok, but again must select all pictures or folder to open many photos. I click to one photo in folder, Photo+ open only clicked photos

Try this one... it's called Privcy
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/privcy/id828281323?ls=1&mt=12
Can easily navigate using cursor keys. What I like is that as you move past the last image it automatically shows the next folder or zip. Ideal for quickly looking at pictures.
Also you can paint/airbrush pictures immediately...

What is the best data type for wallet application?

Hi Friends..
I want to know what is the best data type for wallet application..
Assume that, i want to the Total of money saved digitally in Applet Wallet..
And then if there's any transaction the Total of money which saved digitally in Applet Wallet would be Subtracted or Added depends on how much money that spent or saved..
Which one is the best implementation of these scenarios :
1. I save the User ID and Total of money in the Java Card, and then if there's any transactions, it would be added or subtracted directly and then saved again in the Java Card
2. Or.. I save the User ID in the Java Card whereas Total of money in the Database, and then if there's any transactions, the ID would be read from the Card, and then select the Database based on that ID, and then Add or Subtract the money depends on how much money spent in the Transaction
Please help me regarding this
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Personally I would choose to store the total amount stored on the card. You could use two shorts (short[] perhaps) to store an integer (add more shorts to increase precision) and simply handle overflow your self. You could even look into using a third party library (or class) that treats a byte array as a big integer etc. There were some posts recently on floating point arithmetic that could be helpful for you since you will probably want to use decimals and JC does not natively support floats.

IPhoto wont import my images?

Hello, I plugged in my iPhone to my MacBook Pro today and I wanted to import all my pictures from my iPhone to my computer. I opened iPhoto and clicked import all... and It gave me an error message saying "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image. What should I do? I need to import all my pictures because I am running out of space on my phone.. Please help! Thank you

Go to Image Capture and use the Preferences there to set what happens when camera is connected.
As to the import problem: start with the troubleshooting basics
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Best Material Type for Handling Non-valuated Materials in Distribution

Our distribution business will soon be handling non-valuated material and I am trying to determine the best material type to use. I am considering material type UNBW but would like to know if anyone has advice. We are strictly providing a service to the vendor for handling these non-valuated materials (for example, wood products). We will not purchase or sell the product. Our service consists of receiving the product into inventory from the vendor, tracking the inventory, (in Warehouse Management) and then shipping the material to a customer of the vendor's choosing. For these non-valuating materials, we are paid strictly for our service of warehousing the material and shipping to a customer.
Up until now, our distribution business has distributed only valuated materials, i.e., materials we purchase at a price and sell at a price. We also use vendor consignment. NOTE: This is not a vendor consignment scenario because we never buy the product.
Here are our requirements:
- We don't own the non-valuated product.
- We need to be able to ship these new non-valuated products on the same shipments as the valuated product we own.
- We use handling unit and warehouse management for all of our finished goods.
- We would like to use our existing processes and HU/WM RF transactions to receive and pick the non-valuated product. This means:
1) Creating inbound deliveries and packing into HUs. And applying our HU bar code labels.
2) Physical inventory counts by HU.
3) Creating sales orders that have both the non-valuated materials and valuated materials we own.
4) Creating outbound deliveries and picking via transfer orders in WM.
5) Assigning the outbound deliveries to a shipment.
Questions:
1) Can a UNBW material that will be stocked but not valuated be received into inventory via a PO? Any way to receive into inventory with an inbound delivery without using a PO?
2) Are there any problems with putting a non-valuated material on a sales order with a zero price?
3) Any challenges that other have run into?
Thanks in advance.
Rob

I must be missing something regarding the use of material type UNBW. When I post the goods receipt for a PO with a UNBW material, no inventory is created. When I create the PO, an account assignment is required. I tried both a cost center account assignment (K) and balance sheet account assignment (Z - using a Profit Center). In both cases, I am forced to check the "Free item" checkbox to avoid entering a price; which also seems strange since the material is UNBW.
I have searched everywhere for a "Best Practice" for my scenario with little results. Again, we are simply managing the inventory for a vendor and shipping the inventory to our vendor's customers. So we are acting as a third pary warehouse and shipper for the vendor. We do not buy or sell the inventory - we are paid a monthly service fee by the vendor for warehousing their product and shipping it to their customers. We may ship the product on sales order deliiveries that include both the "non-valuated" product (i.e., free goods we manage for this vendor) and goods that we actually own.
As an alternative, I am wondering if I should look into somehow using vendor consignment with a settlement price (consignment info record price) of zero. Vendor consignment is nice because you can track the stock by vendor. However, we would never truly "settle" with the vendor because we would not be paying the vendor for the inventory and would never own it.
Our business refers to this as "reload business" but I am not sure this is an industry standard term.
Any other thoughts out there?

WHat is the best index type for non uniqueness / Varchar columns in SQL 2008 R2

Hello All Greetings,
Please help me here with my doubt,
in my table i have two columns about a million rows, it has about 20 columns in it, three columns with name as Period, Gender so most of the time these two columns use in where clause,
Gender will contain Either M or F , Period contains YYYY-Month (2013-December, 2013-August) etc so i would like to add a Index to these two columns so that in will increase the performance, so please let me know what type of indexes i need to add to
these columns in the table,
please note that only one time we will add data to the table which will take only 2 minutes but we query the table every day
so my question what is the best index type that i need to create on columns with non uniqueness values in the column.,
Thank you In Advance,
Milan

There is nothing whatever wrong with creating an index on a VARCHAR column, or set of columns.
Regarding the performance of VARCHAR/INT, as with everything in a RDBMS, it depends on what you are doing. What you may be thinking of is the fact that clustering a table on a VARCHAR key is (in SQL Server) marginally less efficient than clustering on a monotonically
increasing numerical key, and can introduce fragmentation.
Or you may be thinking of what you have heard about writing JOINs on VARCHAR columns - it is true, it is a little less efficient than a JOIN on numeric type, but it is only a little less efficient, nothing that would lead you to never join on varchar cols.
None of this does not mean that you should not create indexes on VARCHAR columns. A needed index on a VARCHAR column will boost query performance, often by orders of magnitude. If you need an index on a VARCHAR, create it. It makes no sense to try to find an
integer column to create the index on - the engine will never use it.

Best File Type for Printing Ai Artwork

Hi all,
I have been designing in illustrator for a while, but am fairly new to designing media for print. I am uploading a poster-size graphic to a web site that only accepts .jpeg and .png. The graphic will be used on the web and will also be printed. I know .png is preferable as it is not a lossy format and works better with vector art, but .png does not support CMYK color space for printing. In a situation where I can only choose betweent the two, should I choose .jpeg over .png for better printing, despite the lossy format?
Thanks for your help!

I have to disagree. Only some digital printers prefer RGB files. Most want to get CMYK files. If you have text in clean black dreated a workflow with RGB involved will transform any clean black in clored 4c-black which has to be avoided.
That's said it will exclude also PNG files. PNG does not support CMYK and neither color management. So the printed outcome will not predictable.
And if you send an Illustrator file for print use only PDF.
AI would be fine, if the printer in not openen the file in Illustrator but only in Acrobat. If you have used fonts which are not available on the printers side or if you have linked files included into you AI file, opening an AI file will destroy that file. But if someone is using only a PDF or the PDF part of the AI file it is ok.
EPS does not support transparency nor does it support color management. So it is to avoid also.
JPG, PNG, TIFF and others are rasterizing the artwork and text by the image's resolution contrary to vector artwoork which will be rasterized on the devizes' resolution. This ends in a raggy edge of the vectors you really won't want.

PS Touch needs a warning message when importing files larger than 2048x2048 max resolution

I opened 6500x5000 px files into PS Touch in iPad for some minor retouching. PS Touch - without notification - reduced the images to fit within 2048 x 2048 px. It happily let me open these files, work on them and save and never let me know it was reducing the file size, rendering all the work I did utterly useless since 2048x2048 is far too small for print res for these files.
PS Touch needs a notification or warning when importing files larger than the app's max resolution. Resizing files without notification is just asinine.

What is the best field type for currency calculations?

Hiya,
I am doing a load of currency calculations e.g. here's one line of it
The 'Total' fields I am using for doing/totalling my calculations has been defined as a local variable that reference an amount field setup in the data dictionary as:
So in my program I am using these 2 decimal field.
Of course I now realize this is a problem, as lots of rounding occurs and my values are way out when you deal with amounts in the millions.
Does anyone know what type of variable they think is best for doing currency calculations?
And could you provide a simple example?
Many thanks!

Hello Robert,
I guess you can go ahead with ATFLV, incase if you want to display as a currency, you can use the function module KKEK_CONVERT_FLOAT_TO_CURR.
DATA: c_lv_float TYPE ATFLV VALUE '4.4500000000000000E+02',
      c_lv_curr TYPE WAERS VALUE 'EUR',
      c_lv_currval TYPE NETWR_AP.
CALL FUNCTION 'KKEK_CONVERT_FLOAT_TO_CURR'
EXPORTING
    float_imp          = c_lv_float
    curr_imp            = c_lv_curr
IMPORTING
CURR_FIELD_EXP      = c_lv_currval
EXCEPTIONS
OVERFLOW            = 1
OTHERS              = 2.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
        WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

What is the best image characteristic for use with an environment layer?

CS6, Win7, HPz820
I have watched several tutorials on the use of the environment layer and each has a nifty experience with the image the imported.
When I do it, it looks like this without the Environment layer effect attached:
And this way then I apply the environment layer:
Is there a way to select the image so it will maximize the quality of the image when the effect is applied. I tried a stitched image of several photos done in PS, with a better outcome but still a lot of distortion.

As Mylenium says, the environment layer's purpose is to provide reflections and such for 3D layers in a scene. The distortion that you're referring to is because the layer is being formed into a spherical shell surrounding the 3D scene so that reflections can come from any direction.
If you want a layer to serve as both an environment layer and as a visible layer, you'd use two copies of the layer, with one set as an environment layer to appear in reflections only.

Why does iPad photo import change image appearance?

I've been editing some very colourful raw images in Adobe Lightroom. They look amazing on my retina macbook pro screen, so I wanted to save them to an iPad. I exported them as JPEG files and tried to transfer them both via wifi (photo transfer app) and an SD card using the camera connection kit.
When I went to import on the iPad, the thumbnails of the images look right, nice and vibrant, full of colour. Then once it has imported they suddenly become quite desaturated with dull colours.
Does the iPad have some sort of auto correction process when importing to the photos app? If so can I turn it off?
Or what sort of image colour settings do I need to change on my mac to ensure they display correctly on iPad?

guess it would be helpful if you can upload the photo somewhere and include a link here for others to download and inspect it.

Best imaging software for thinkpad t400

I am using my product recovery disks to reset my thinkpad t400 to factory settings. To prevent this factory revert in future and to just reinstall the OS with the necessary software I am thinking to purchase an imaging software like Acronis True Image or Symantec Ghost.
I tried checking on the net but getting mixed reviews. so i would like to know from experts here, Which of the two software work best with Thinkpad t400?

I confess to also finding Acronis to be a great cloning and imaging software, I haven't used anything else in years. Although I have mostly used it for cloning I have never had a problem recovering / upgrading systems from images when the target HDD is inserted in the target system, the so called reverse image / clone.
Here's a couple of links to threads on cloning with Acronis on "older" ThinkPads, (pre T400), which were also used to create forum Knowledgebase articles. (There are also others in the KB).

HELP!! I had two libraries in iPhoto, Photos imported the wrong one, and now I have lost 10,000 photos. How can I get them back??

I originally had two libraries in iPhoto, my wife and I share two iMacs at different locations but we wanted to share the photos and it was set up this way Apple Geniuses at the store I have no idea why. Anyway, I updated to OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3 with the new 'photos' app. It asked me to choose one of the libraries and evidently I assume I must have chosen the wrong one. It only imported 322 random photos, not the 10,000+ we had in iPhoto. I can no longer find these photos or the other library anywhere, it appears to have been deleted. I have tried 'alt' clicking the icon which used to open a 'choose library' box, but this no longer works in photos or iPhoto. I have no idea where it has gone and it contains precious memories over the years including the birth of our children. Can someone please help???

Where is your iPhoto library stored?
my wife and I share two iMacs at different locations but we wanted to share the photos and it was set up this way Apple Geniuses at the store I have no idea why.
Since you are sharing it between two Macs, is the library on an external drive or a NAS, or another remotely mounted volume?
If the library is not on a directly connected disk, formatted MacOS Extended, move the original iPhoto Library to a directly connected, correctly disk.
And the try first the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools on that library. Repair the permissions, and repair the database in iPhoto. Then try to migrate again to Photos.
To repair hold down the alt/option and the command key simultaneously while double clicking the iPhoto Library to launch the iPhoto Library First Aid tools. Hold down both keys firmly and long enough, until the First Aid panel will appear.
The select "Repair Permissions". And then repeat, but select "Repair Database"
But make a current backup of your iPhoto Library before you try this.

Best image format for websites

I make website named Softec Labs and I often use the JPG format to save most of my images because of the image clarity and sharpness. I have been hearing that the PNG format is ideal for the web because of its small file size, does the PNG format look as good as the JPG formats? And is there a slider to change the image quality like there is in photoshop for JPG's?

JPEG is a "lossy" format. That is, it throws information away (or, sorta, does random smoothing) to reduce the size. When you choose the quality setting you are deciding how much to throw away; at highest quality settings nobody will ever see, for photographs. JPEG is designed for photos (the "P" in JPEG), and a poor choice where there are non-photographic sharp edges, such as in text, as these produce more noticeable loss.
By contrast PNG is not lossy - it is "lossless". So no quality setting is needed. There are other options for reducing size, like reducing the number of colours.
So a PNG will be exactly like the original (at least if you don't reduce colours). PNG can be a very good choice for solid areas of colour as in text; GIF is also suitable for these and has slightly wider support (though I think all mainstream browsers now support PNG).
For size, just do your own experiments. Thanks to Save for Web, you don't even need to save to compare quality and size.
