Is there a way to improve the clarity of picture?

Apologies in advance for my ignorance in the matter. I have a new 30" cinema display (aluminum casing). I find that all of the icons, fonts, copy and images on this display are far 'fuzzier' and pixelated than what I was used to with my old iMac flatpanel, and utterly incomparable to the sharpness of the displays on the new iMacs. I have the Display set to 1280x800, and the colors tab set to millions in system preferences, and I don't see anything else that jumps out at me that would seem to be a problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might improve the clarity of the display?
Thank you,
rsaunders

Thanks for your help Malcom. Not to push my luck with this, but would you be able to direct me to to a guide? that might show me how to do this? I am attaching the graphics/display specs from my system profiler. Not sure it will be of any use, nonetheless, here they are:

Is there a way to improve the performance of a report group?

Hi gurus,
Is there a way to improve the performance of a report group?
Points will be given later....
Thanks!

Hi there,
Thank you for your response. I thought there's no answer for this issue and planning to change it to ALV.
I looked at the codes and debugged it. After the select statement from ZZUWT table (customized), there's a loop that takes much time (10-12mins) for 1000 records. and several nested perform routines. It's a standard program so I'm hesitant to edit it.
I'll be checking on the primary keys. If it's ok, may I ask for your assistance in this part? Though I'm not that familiar and haven't tried creating a report painter before.
Thanks anyway...:D

Hi Ben,
both BSIS selects would become faster if you can add Company Code BUKRS as 1st field of WHERE clause, because it's the 1st field of primary key and HKONT is the 2nd field of primary key.
If you have no table index with HKONT as 1st field it's a full database access.
If possible, try to add BUKRS as 1st field of WHERE clause, otherwise ask for an additional BSIS index at your basis team.

Is there a way to improve the sign in experience so that users don't have to specify both address and username?

I've wondered this for a long time-is there a way to set up Lync so that I can have users sign in with just the sign in address, and not have to specify the username as well? Things tend to go like this:
User launches lync client-types sign in address and password (in this case [email protected])
Sign in will fail, and now they'll need to specify the username (in this case CTT1\user) and retype their password
Now sign in succeeds (and it'll remember credentials)
Is there a way to fix things in DNS so that step 2 isn't required? It's a pain for the out of the box experience for new users, and the fact that the login has to fail to be able to specify the username in the first place is a little counterintuitive.
Is there a record we can create so that the domain name (in this case CTT1) is inferred from the SIP domain?

Well if you want a "single signon" experience, the Workstation will need to de join to the domain :-) otherwise it will prompt for the Username and password for authentificaiton.
You can then check the save password box.
For remote user that are NOT on the domain, same behavior, you will be prompted to enter Username/Password.
If a post is helpful, please take a second to hit the green arrow on the left, or mark as answer, thanks.

Is there any way to improve the Brush tool of Flash to draw as natural as in Photoshop?

Hi,
it's really bothering me and many other traditional animators that Adobe still hasn't improved the brush tool of Flash for people that want to really draw something on it.
I really really wish to be able to draw on flash as natural and consistent as in photoshop, without those stupid automatic smoothing options or the random roughness of it.
Flash is a great too for traditional animators but the brush is terrible.
Either make Photoshop as good for animating traditional as Flash, or give flash a brush that is nice as standard Photoshop brush.
I just want a normal brush is smooth and natural, that's all. Why are vector tools so weak for drawing????
PLEASE ADOBE, DO SOMETHING!!!

Is there a way to display the number of pictures or photos in a smart album

when I look at my project view on the left, all of the projects or folders show the number of photos that are in them at a glance. However, on my smart albums, it just shows the looking glass which you can click on to edit the properties. Is there any way for aperture to show the number of photos in a smart album without having to open the smart album and count? Thanks!

No. But when you click on them, the number of images they contain will be at the bottom of the Browser screen and in Split View just above the bar separating the Viewer from the thumbnails.

Is there a way of improving print clarity in iOS7 on my iPad & iPhone?

Since I 'upgraded' both my IPad mini & my IPhone 4S to the new operating system I've been both pleased and disappointed.
Most displeasure is with the loss of the sharp black-on-white clarity that defined iCal in iOS6. The new half tone grey may work well for younger users but the reduction in contrast, especially on a small screen, is infuriating for an older user like me.
As a freelance (TV director) I use iCal constantly and now find I'm wasting time peering at the screen & deploring its 'pale & fuzzy' look. And, in case you're thinking of a scornful remark about my eyesight, my Zeiss-lensed spectacles give me excellent clarity of vision, thank you.
Please will Apple quickly introduce an upgrade to change the typeface colour?

You didn't have a backup of your MacBook's hard drive when it had to be replaced? If you do look in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to see if the Doman.sites2 file is there. If it is drag it to the same folder on your new hard drive and open with iWeb. That should give you your old sites back.
If you don't have a backup then you'll have to do what QTKirt pointed out. However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the creation of the new site.

HT201335 Why the transmition to the tv from my iPad is slow cutting off ... Is there a way to improve connectivity ?

Why the transmition to the tv from my iPad is slow cutting off ... Is there a way to improve connectivity ?

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Is there a way to change the LUt extension form .CUBE to .cube. on export. TX

Is there a way to change the LUt extension form .CUBE to .cube. on export with this script in photoshop For MAC:
Chris Cox wrote:
The file extensions are written by the export plugin. (which incidentally has a comment that two studios wanted all caps extensions, but I failed to write down which ones in the comments)
To change the filenames, you'd want to add something at the end of doExportLUTs() that uses the supplied path and substitutes the desired extensions, then renames the file.
Thank you

Hi blabla12345,
(untested and without warranty)
replace this line:

with this:
const sSaveCUBE = "cube";
Have fun

Apple Mail, is there a way to change the default time-out?

This has been puzzling me for some time and I have not found a solution. The problem which I also posted in the Mail forum (though I think that if there is a positive answer it will come through here) is as follows:
I have an email account with on my company's mail server which is actually a Novell Netware server with a POP3 service. When using mail to send mail, I have no problems. When using mail to recieve mail, well, sometimes it gets the mail, and sometimes it does not. Usually, I can recieve mail for two or three weeks then it just stops working. No changes to my system, no updates or anything, I recieve email at one point in the day and then 15 minutes later - nothing. In the Activity Monitor, I see "Connecting to ..." then "Sending Password" then "Checking for Messages", then (after a while) it beeps as if it did not find any messages to download (no error!).
Some weeks later, after suffering with webmail, suddenly, it works again. This usually coincides with maintenance on the server, but not always. It also seems to correspond with a general improvement of the server performance. But eventually, the cycle starts over again with mail suddenly not able to find any new messages for that account.
I use dial-up at home, ethernet LAN at work, and DSL at our satellite offices. When it works on one it works on all. Also note that my other email accounts (not in any way connected to my company) work as they should at all times and in each setting.
Is it possible that mail simply times out before the messages are discovered. The Novell server used for mail is by no means known for its performance. If so, is there anyway to change the default timeout in mail for "Checking for Messages"?
Things I have tried:
I have dumped the "MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded" and "MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2" files to no avail.
I have changed computers (I recently upgraded from a ti400), reinstalled the OS, upgraded from 10.2.8 to 10.3.x to 10.4.3, and removed and recreated the mail account (multiple times), all to no avail.
Based on the above observations, I feel that it may be that "Mail's" "Get-mail" function is timing out before new messages are discovered on a very slow server. Is there any way to change the default time-out to evaluate this hypothesis?
Any help would be appreciated.

I already thought of that one. I deleted my account from there. But it didn't default to the other one. It just told me I needed to add an account. Thanks tho

Is there a way to increase the icon size (and the text below) without using zoom? I am trying to help out someone who has moderate visual impairment that does not want to use zoom just to see the icons and their labels.

Is there a way to increase the icon size (and the text below) without using zoom in iOS 7? I am trying to help out someone who has moderate visual impairment that does not want to use zoom just to see the icons and their labels.

Hello Apple.
It seems you have gone to great lengths to improve accessibility in many areas of the iPad. Why was this obvious problem with icon text size missed? (It's not with the Mac.). And for so long too.
Do you employ people with actual accessibility problems to help you do UI design?
I think too, that some buttons are too close for people who might have motor control problems.
I love my iPad but I fear as I age, the iPad might not keep up with me.

Is there a way to shorten the "Open With" list?

Hi -
This may be a question for Apple because it is a uniquely Apple Finder problem.
Or maybe some clever 3rd party Apple developer will take this on - because this is an Apple Finder problem (hint).
Is there a way to shorten the "Open With" list that appears when I right-click on a file?
Heres why this is important to me.
1- I'm seeing multiple versions of the same app on the list, like Photoshop CS5, Photoshop CS5.1, Photoshop CS 5.5. I can't think of any reason why I would ever want to use an older version of Photoshop. And it's not only Photoshop or even Adobe products.
2- I see incorrect apps being suggested. If I right click on an Illustrator file I see that TextEdit is one of the choices. I get Photoshop as an option to open HTML files. I see BBEdit as an option to open JPEG files. These are bizarre associations. Why are they even on the list?
3- With so many irrelevant choices the possibility of selecting the wrong application increases and doing so is a waste of time and resources. Once I accidentally selected a text editor to open a JPEG. After about 3 minutes of RAM-sucking processing I got a huge file of jibberish text characters that was thousands of lines long. Waste of time!
I KNOW I'm not the only one with this question.
Is there anyone out there with an answer???
Thanks,
JL

baltwo - thank you for the expert advice.
I did as you instructed and the situation is better but I don't believe it's solved.
I still get 3 versions of Photoshop when I right click on a PSD. I also get Dashcode and Textwrangler - which are the oddest associations. All together I get 25 apps responding to "Open With" on a PSD. And this is an improvement.
Do you think I would get even better results if I ran the same command again?
Thanks again.
JL

I need to change the size of the view for easier reading. Is there a way to make the page view larger without affecting the form?

Hi Guys, good product beginning however it's not as good as many of the other Adobe product's workspaces. I cannot change the size of the view during form design work, so it's a visual strain to work in Forms Central. Is there a way to modify the view (not affecting the width, size or font when presented on website or on paper)?

In Photoshop CC 2014 (Windows only) it is possible to use a setting of 200% to scale the UI. On some monitors it improves readability and on others it cuts part of the application screen. To give it a try go to:
Edit >> Preferences >> Experimental Features
Put a check-mark in the box and click OK
Then close PS and re-start for the change to take effect.

Is there a way to improve the clarity of picture?
