IPhoto user looking for a bit more editing ability

I love iPhoto but I wish I could extract parts of pictures to go on other pics. Then I use a cloning tool to fix. I can't stand Adobe Elements is their any other program out their that people are using for this kind of editing. Aperture?

I don't think that Aperture is what you're looking for. Try Graphic Convertor

or try searching on http://www.macupdate.com using 'image editor'.

  • Looking for a little more info on Playstation 3 on Apple 20" display

    Sorry to ask for more info on this. I did find some other threads, but looking for a bit more direction.
    First, let me say I have a bunch of old tube TV's and am looking to purchase a Playstation 3. Using Playstation 3 on a tube TV seems kind of stupid, especially when I have a great LCD monitor sitting right on my desktop.
    I looked at solution from Elgato. However they said they are not making any more units and when it sells out it is gone. So I am a little weary of purchasing something that may no longer be supported. Their solution does provide video capture and DVR capabilities as well, which I could also use.
    Other then that, I am wondering if there are any other solutions that people could recommend. I do plan on buying a LCD or Plasma TV in the near future, but until then, I would like to purchase a Playstation 3. Just looking for any advice of any kind from others. Thanks.

    I have the same 20 inch Apple Display. If you have the newer DVI right?
    if so HDMI to DVI will not work well EyeTV from Elgato is still in the Mac store near me I have the 200 FireWire you want the 250 USB2 to do live. I have had the 200 FW for three years it is great.
    Having said that I did buy The Mitsubishi LCD LT-46231 : 46"
    1080p LCD Flat Panel HDTV ($4,600)
    I love it for computer use it was made for it. The HDTV is so good with cable and better with Blue-Ray which your PS3 has!
    http://www.mitsubishi-tv.com/j/i/18326/TelevisionDetails/LT46231.html?cid=377
    I would if you don't want to spend allot on a 1080p LCD (being more then 2k) The Mitsubishi LT-37131 LCD Flat Panel HDTV ($1,699) . Sony & Samsung both are the same LCD. Mitsubishi is better then Samsung/Sony allot better when used with a computer (it is the only new LCD maker that has a VGA & DVI port just for Computers)
    Both of the Mitsubishi Link's you will like as one is a money saver.

  • Hi looking for a bit of free  anti - virus and firewall for osx 10.8.2

    hi looking for a bit of free  anti - virus and firewall for osx 10.8.2 any pointers also any one used Mac cleaner ?

    1. This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
    2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
    The following caveats apply to XProtect:
    It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets (see below.)
    It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
    3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been another layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't actually been tested by Apple (unless it comes from the Mac App Store), but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. For most practical purposes, applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed can be considered safe.
    Gatekeeper has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
    It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
    A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could find some other way to evade Apple's controls.
    For more information about Gatekeeper, see this Apple Support article.
    4. Beyond XProtect and Gatekeeper, there’s no benefit, in most cases, from any other automated protection against malware. The first and best line of defense is always your own intelligence. All known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore reduces to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
    That means, in practice, that you never use software that comes from an untrustworthy source. How do you know whether a source is trustworthy?
    Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
    A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn users who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
    “Cracked” copies of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
    Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
    5. Java on the network (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related) is a weak point in the security of any operating system. If a Java web plugin is not installed, don't install one unless you really need it. If it is installed, you should disable it (not JavaScript) in your web browsers. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those obsolete versions has known security flaws that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. The flaws will never be fixed. Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java can never be fully trusted, even if no vulnerabilities are publicly known at the moment.
    Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
    6. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.
    Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
    Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
    In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
    By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
    7. ClamXav doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so can corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
    ClamXav is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. If you don't need to do that, avoid it. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
    8. The greatest danger posed by anti-virus software, in my opinion, is its effect on human behavior. When people install such software, which does little or nothing to protect them from emerging threats, they get a false sense of security from it, and then they may do things that make them more vulnerable. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.
    9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use.

    looking for an iphone photo editing app that mirrors images? Any suggestions? I'd like to mirror an image already in my photo library....

  • Looking for Win-based sound-editing software to work with AAC files

    Hi, everyone.
    I'm a part-time indoor-cycling instructor. I create iTunes playlists to fit a certain types of "rides," transfer the lists to my iPod, then hook the player to the club's stereo system. Very slick.
    But not slick enough. There are some songs I don't want to play all the way through; I want to use only isolated segments of certain songs. And I want to employ crossfade. When cycling, it's important to keep the music coming; dead spots are energy killers. I want to stich in some stray bits of oddball audio, such as funny snippets of movie dialog and other nonsense, to keep the mood light. And I'm looking for a way to more precisely control track-to-track playback volume.
    I know I can isolate a segment of a song file by using the "start time" and "stop time" adjustments on the "options" tab of a song file's "get info" settings within iTunes. But I want to do more than that. Sometimes I want to play :20 of a song at one part of the ride, and :40 of the same song later in the ride, and I don't want to have to make a renamed copy of the song file to make it happen.
    I'm thinking what I need is sound-editing software. I want to create, say, a 60-minute playlist in iTunes, export copies (not the originals) of the songs in that playlist to the sound-editing platform, do my editing and create a single, 60-minute file that I can then load into iTunes and thus, transfer to my iPod. When I hook the 'pod up to the club's stereo, I would then play the single 60-minute "song" instead of the 60-minute playlist.
    And of course, I want to do it really cheaply, on a PC running iTunes for Windows. How's that for a challenge?
    If I had a Mac, I probably could use SoundStudio to do this, because it imports AAC files.
    What I need is a Windows-based editing platform that can import AAC files. If you know of such an animal, I'd appreciate hearing about it.
    If there is no such animal, here's what I think I'll have to do:
    1. Pluck song files from my iTunes music folder
    2. Create a CD containing mp3 copies of those songs
    3. Send those mp3 copies into the editing software
    4. Stitch the songs together in the editing software into a single file
    5. Export that file as a single mp3 file
    6. Have iTunes convert that mp3 file to mp4.
    Right? Or wrong? If anyone has advice, I'm all ears.

    The reason why I posted here was to hopefully find someone who has actually done this before rather than have someone throw packages at me that I can find on Google on my own.
    There are a number of SMS gateways out there, but I have not used any of them. Setting up some of them is a very time consuming process and I was hoping to get a heads up on one that that some else had used in the Solaris 10 x86 environment within a zone.
    I already have a working email version of this process which I put together very quickly, but using SMS would be a much better process for the techs out in the field.
    I won't have the actual GSM Modem in hand until Monday or Tuesday and am doing some preliminary work so that I can hit the ground running when it shows up.
    Thanks for your suggestions though.

  • New Mac user looking for help with Finder, Preview, Keyboard, & Dock

    So about a month ago I switched over from a lifelong Windows user to a brand new MacBook Pro, and while I am adjusting pretty well, there are still some things that I haven't quite figured out.
    First up on the list is Finder! I like my files to be arranged just like how they are in Windows Explorer--folders first alphabetically, then files alphabetically. I've managed to acquire this setting by messing around with the "clean up by" and "arrange by" functions but I don't really know the specific combination. Most of the time these preferences are saved and set as the defaults under "View Options" but every once in a while it resets and I have to tinker around with the settings all over again. Does anyone know of a way to fix this? It's only happened twice so far, but I'd rather not have it happen again. Also, occasionally when I delete an item, there is a blank space left where the icon was instead of all the files following it bumping up a space. Any quick fixes for this bug?
    Next up is Preview. Again, I like the Windows Way and I like to be able to browse between the files in a folder while using Preview/Windows Photo Viewer. I know that there is a way to browse between files if you select the whole folder and stick it in Preview, but is there a way to achieve the same result without having to do that? An app or "extension" of some sort that adds arrows in to browse between photos? I've had no luck finding anything other than the aforementioned option. Is there a good free alternative to Preview that will function similarly with the browse between photos option?
    One of my favorite things about my new Mac is the backlit keyboard function. My old laptop didn't have it and as someone who is online more often at night it is super helpful. But is there a way to turn it off during the day/in bright settings? A way to put it on a timer? In System Preferences I selected the option "Adjust keyboard brightness in low light", which I assumed to mean would have the keyboard NOT very bright when there IS light, but it continues to light up just the same. Any apps or extensions to help with this one?
    And finally, the dock! This question is more about aesthetics than functionality but help is appreciated all the same. Currently, my dock looks like this: http://i42.tinypic.com/35ktxlz.png It is rather opaque and the indicator lights can barely be seen. However, in a lot of tutorial videos I've been watching, many people have docks that look like this: http://i.i.cbsi.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2011/07/19/Lion_LaunchPad.png It is a darker shade of gray, the divider is dashed rather than a straight line, and the indicator lights are clearly visible. Does anybody know how to get this look for the dock? I've looked in the dock preferences but there's not really anything in there other than magnification/size/effects.
    That about sums things up! I'm sorry if any of these seem like "silly" questions but they are all things I have been unable to find answers for. Any and all tips, tricks, and help is appreciated! Thanks in advance for all your help!!

    congratulations on coming over from the dark side.
    Seems like you are interested in column view, which would show you the hierarchy of folders and files:  Column View in Mac OS X Mountain Lion - For Dummies Not sure what's going on if your finder settings don't stay put. May be a corrupted preferences file, which is easy to fix, but is perhaps a topic for another discussion.
    What I'd suggest is to have an open mind and try to see what the mac can do, rather than force it to look like your windows machine. I mean, if you just want it to look like windows, then why bother switching? If you give it a little time, you'll start to appreciate the mac way of doing things, and see how it is infinitely more awesome, powerful, creative, intuitive, and better designed (and the software way better written)  than what you left behind. But that's your call.
    There are some threads on this forum with complaints about the backlight. Keyboard backlight settings query...: Apple Support Communities  Evidently it depends on the angle of the screen and the light sensor relative to the light. Some suggest that a SMC reset may help: Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)  This is not an issue for me, I just adjust the brightness with the keyboard buttons if I want. Real men shift their own gears, drink their coffee black, and adjust their own keyboard brightness. I am not aware of any software to exert more control over this feature but a search of macupdate  Download Apple Mac Software & iPhone Software : MacUpdate may help. I mean, it's up to you what is important. I can waste a lot of time playing around with the GUI and with unnecessary software, or I can just get my work (and play) done.
    You might prefer the no-glass dock, that removes the shelf, and makes the indicator lights like more discrete orbs. You can do this with the terminal. Using the terminal is also, perhaps, a topic for another discussion.I like the 2D dock much better. If you want I'll give you some directions for how to do it. Otherwise, here's a reference: 2D Dock - MacRumors Forums

  • Task Privileges for Existing Users - Looking for a global update solution

    After some reading I understand that if you set the task privileges for the PUBLIC user in the Privileges section of Discoverer Administrator (10g), any new user created in the system will pick up the privileges you have assigned to the PUBLIC user.
    I currently have 4000+ users who have access to Discoverer Plus and the ability to create/edit queries. I want to limit who can access Discoverer Plus functionality to approximately 150 users.
    I have changed my PUBLIC user to NOT have privileges but this will only affect new users. Is there any way to restrict 4000+ users without having to go through each user individually and set the privileges.
    I am looking for a global update solution. I am wondering if this can be done through the back-end.

    Hi Mezzobella
    If you change the rights for the public user then other users, who have not been manually adjusted in any way, will automatically pick up the public rights. Therefore, if you have a lot of users that are not changing this means that at some point in their life you will have clicked OK or Apply on the screen with a user displayed. This now assigns the rights to that user as opposed to inheriting them from the public user.
    What you are describing is the perfect reason why you should not administer Discoverer using user accounts but to use roles or responsibilities instead.
    In your case you are now somewhat stuck. The programatic way to revoke these rights is to drop rows from the EUL5_ACCESS_PRIVS table but this could take longer than doing inside Discoverer. Basically, when a user has been granted privileges one row per privilege is inserted into this table. The column AP_EU_ID contains the ID of the user. The column GP_APP_ID is the one that tells you what privilege a user has. Here is a list of the privileges:
    1000 Desktop / Plus Privilege (U)
    1001 Create / Edit Query (U)
    1002 Item Drill (U)
    1003 Drill Out (U)
    1004 Grant Workbook (aka Sharing) (U)
    1005 Collect Query Statistics (U)
    1006 Admin Privilege (A)
    1007 Set Privilege (A)
    1008 Create / Edit Business Area (A)
    1009 Format Business Area (A)
    1010 Create / Edit Summaries (A)
    1011 Not used as far as can be determined
    1012 Schedule (U)
    1013 User is never required to schedule workbooks (U)
    1014 Save workbooks to database (U)
    1015 Managed scheduled workbooks (A)
    1016 This is an apps mode EUL
    1017 This is the user's assigned language
    1018 User is allowed to change password
    1019 to 1023 Not used as far as can be determined
    1024 Create Link (U)
    Note: A = Admin privilege, U = User privilege
    Theoretically you could manually delete rows from this table and that will revoke the rights. In reality, Oracle do not like it when inexperienced users manually the EUL as you could corrupt it. Therefore, any manual updates must be done with utmost caution after making sure you back up or have a copy of the table you will be updating - just in case.
    Try running this query to see the content:
    SELECT DECODE( AP_EU_ID, 104198, 'Viewer', 103697, 'Plus', 'Other' ) "Who" , AP_ID, AP_TYPE, AP_EU_ID, AP_PRIV_LEVEL, GP_APP_ID, GBA_BA_ID, GD_DOC_ID, AP_ELEMENT_STATE
    FROM EUL5_ACCESS_PRIVS
    Best wishes

  • New Ipad User looking for some good CRM suggestions for small business

    Hello All,
    I am a new (and satisfied) Apple Ipad2 user.  I am the sales rep for a small business that is in the health care field.  I am looking for a good CRM program for the following reasons and I am wanting to know if there is a particular program that can provide any of these things for me:
    Ability to put in all of my customers information.  Seperate folders for each.
    Ability to add information to customer folders/files based on recent phoen conversations or actual on-site visits.
    Ability to set a reminder of when to call back on that customer to see status of his/her patient that was fit with our product.
    Ability to allow other members of the company to check in on this information as well.
    A little background, we are a small company in the health care field.  We have 90 customers currently and we are growing at a steady pace.  I would like for my upper management to look at the CRM at any point and see what is going on with each customer.  If I sell a product to Customer A, then I would like a reminder to pop up 6 months from now when that patient will be ready for another product.  I would also like to be able to update a customer file so that management can see when I called on a customer, etc.
    I appreciate everyone's input as I have never utilized a CRM program.  I am currently using Dropbox for all of this right now, but it seems like a CRM would be more organized,
    Thank you,
    --Ryan

    HI Ryan,
    Did you find an app for CRM, one thing that I'm also curious about, you may need to find one that is HIPPA compliant.

  • Looking for a real photo editing app.

    I'm looking for something that can precisely resize and crop. None of this slider bullcrap where you can't get pixel level precision. I'd like to be able to crop at exactly 640x960 for example, or resize to exactly 820x620, etc.. Something that can do non destructive edits and that can save a jpeg without compressing it so much that image quality is noticably less. Photogene2 is great (nice edit features and good quality saves) but it can't crop or resize exactly by the pixel. Phototoaster is great (nice edit features and non destructive edits) except it can't crop and resize by the pixel. How hard would it be to provide numerical inputs for crops and resizes? Is there anything out there really worth buying that can do these essential tasks?

  • Powerbook Titanium user looking for advice on MacBook Pro

    Hello, all,
    After almost 10 years of faithful service, I'm afraid that my 15" TiBook is showing signs of age and may soon need replacing. For financial reasons, I can't spring for a brand-new, top-of-the-line MBP, and I was wondering if you had any advice about what I should look for in a reconditioned model from the AppleStore. Aside from basic functions like emails and web, I'd be using it primarily for the Adobe Creative Suite (no animation or any really heavy stuff) and for watching DVDs when away from home. How do you feel about the glossy screens, for example? On the French AppleStore, there are a couple of MBPs from early 2011, but I'd seen that there were concerns with the temperature/fan noises… I realize that almost anything I may buy now will be light years faster and more powerful than the 667 Mhz that I have now, but I'd like for the replacement machine to be as impervious to ageing as the PB has been.
    Any and all advice would be most welcome.
    Thanks for reading.

    My suggestion since you prefer to maximize your computers lifespan is to get either the new:
    1: High res, anti-glare 15" 2.2 Ghz or above
    2: High res, anti-glare 17" 2.2 Ghz or above.
    (The 13" MacBook Pro is integrated graphics, the 15" 2.0 has a dedicated graphics card that is as weak as the integrated graphics. Both are very poor choices for the long term.)
    The two models I've mentioned have the top of the line i7 Quad cores that simply blow the dual cores away in every way possible. The 1GB Radeon 6750M GPU is a monster video card that will satisfy ANY need you have for a long time.
    If your trying to save money and going for a used dual core i5, your doing yourself a great disservice because those machines are soon destined for the scrap heap.
    I opted for the anti-glare because with a laptop it's a necessity unless you live in a basement or a cave.
    The glossy forces you to seek dark locations to see the screen because it reflects dam near everything, even your face.
    Some people say to get a aftermarket anti-glare film, but those are expensive, they dry out, peal and bubble, not very nice looking and need occassional replacement.
    You will not give a flying ratts *ss four days later if you don't have a snazzy black bezel, your going to want to use the machine as intended in nearly any location. The matching case bezel is just wonderful and the new anti-glare (not ugly matte like before) screen is of a higher quality, looks fantastic being able to see every inch of the screen all the time.
    You can do a Google image search for "Mac glossy anti-glare" and get hundreds of pictures for your decision making process.
    The new machines are easily opened up to add more RAM or switch out the hard drive with a 00 micro-phillips screwdriver and a plastic compartmentalized holder to place the screws in order so the right ones go into the right holes. Won't void your warranty as long as you don't do any damage. Don't strip the screws.
    Do get AppleCare and a good case, even a MacTruck.
    Use the keyboard and trackpad as little as possible, use a wired or wireless instead to keep the wear off the machine.
    Keep the keyboard area covered and away from food/liquids, it gets behind the keys easily and will fry it.
    If you use the keyboard and trackpad, take off any jewelry and use a pad protector as you'll wear the case and 3 years from now it will look ugly as sin.
    Snow Leopard is a great OS, Apple plans on major changes in the next one to make OS X look like a iPad, you might not like it. The grumbling has already started.
    So get a Snow Leopard machine now with the iLife on the installer disks while you have a chance, a few weeks from now you might not have that option as all new machines will be forced into Lion.

  • Looking for a headphone solution editing surround

    Looking for a headphone solution when editing suround environment in Soundtrack Pro 2. I have a Mac Pro. Is there any phones that would connect (direct or indirect) to the optical audio output, or do I need to buy a 5:1 speaker sound system with headphone jack?

    Hey sorry for the late reply, I was busy to figure out alternatives as harman kardon was a difficult affair to find and acquire, but the good news is I managed to get hold of alternative.
    Sony I assume recently launched a Bluetooth headphone DR-BTN200 which is compatible to my MacBook Air , iPad mini and android phone galaxy s2 with ease, the sound quality is pretty good as compared to other brands of Bluetooth headphones I checked compatible or incompatible to apple devices alike, this is definitely what I was looking for, costed me 7990 INR, this is highly recommended for ppl who are confused, I carried my devices to the store and checked before I bought a pair and pretty much happy,
    The best part of this is its battery backup, I have used this hours for 3-5 days but this has not drain even then, but I do keep this charging once in 2-3 days just to keep this ready otherwise it does not even ask for it neither the quality of sound drops after 2-3 days of use.
    This is over the ear headphone which is very soft but it's get sweaty around the ear I guess that's bound to happen.
    Do get back to me for any other details, would be glad to share with all :)

  • Looking for a good photo editing app!

    On an iPad, I want to be able to edit the background in a photo.  I am looking for an app that lets me select an area in a photo (say, the sky), select a color, and then the app will change the area to the new color.  I don't want to have to paint the area manually with my finger.  I want the app to be intelligent enough to determine the entire area of the sky and then change the entire sky to the new color.  I know I can do this with PhotoShop on a laptop, but are there iPad apps that can do this?

  • I am looking for a good photo editing software, only editing, not sharing etc

    any recommendation for a good photo editing software for starters, only to enhance picture, play arounf with colours in black and white background etc.

    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • Looking for best way to edit 29.97 and 25 fps footage together.

    Hi everyone.
    I've looked on the boards, but haven't found exactly what I'm looking for.. any help is appreciated.
    I'm starting a job shot in Argentina, and they shot both 25fps and 29.97fps.  I believe they used DSLR cameras.
    I think the delivery format is web only, but am awaiting final word.
    Questions-
    Do I need to convert the footage to one frame rate, or will PPro handle the different rates in the same timeline without the footage looking awkward? 
    Can I just have PPro interpret the media as a different frame rate? 
    If I need to convert, would you please recommend best software?
    Would you recommend converting to 29.97 or 25?
    Thanks all. Much appreciated.
    Michael

    I am inclined to say edit 25fps and then the dropped frames of the 29.97 should not look too bad with most footage. You mileage may vary. It really depends on the footage. It could make it look choppy. But maybe better than 25 played at 29.97 using frame blending to make new frames out of thin air.
    Create your 25fps sequence from the 25fps footage. Then when you drop the 29.97 on it, it will automatically drop the frames necessary to make it 25fps.
    If, however, you are going to write it to DVD, you want to do that in the PAL or NTSC settings you would normally use for wherever it is that you live.
    By the way, if you interpret the 29.97 as 25 it will play back slower. Slightly slow motion. If you interpret the 25 as 29.97 it will appear fast.  Once again, it depends on the footage. If you shot objects (like travel stuff), then speed is not a huge deal, but if you shot people or animals it could make a huge difference.

    I think iMovie and iDVD which are parts of iLife'09 creative suite of Apple are good choice.
