Issue with Cropping

Hi All -
I have a bit of an issue with Photoshop CS6 in the cloud. When running the crop tool on a basic image, it seems that it goes to "Processing" and simply stays there for some time. The image is not very high res and the computer is brand new 4GB ram, plenty of disk space, etc.
Any suggestions on what might cause this?

Richard, welcome to the forums!
This could be due to various factors. Please go to Help > System Info, copy & paste that information here for us to see what might be going wrong.

PS CS6 issue with crop tool: graphic glitches

I am using Photoshop CS6 v13.1.2 and I'm experiencing an issue with the crop tool. Whenever I use the crop tool, move the frame around and then zoom in on the image, the image becomes noisy, pixelated or has other 'graphic glitches'. I changed the PS preferences to not use the GPU and then rebooted the computer. Still the same issue without the GPU.
Running on Mac OS 10.8.3, iMac 2011 with AMD Radeon HD 6970M.
Is there another workaround to use this tool until it might get fixed? Thank you.

I've seen the same issue from time to time on windows 13.01.1 usually only on rather large pixel dimension documents.
Does it make a difference if you flatten the image before using the crop tool?
Also, using the classic mode for the crop tool doesn't seem to have that glitch.

Issue with cropping my PiP

Well, I got the Muvipix book. But I dont think im finding a solution to my problem within the book.
After inserting a Picture in Picture I need to crop out some of the new Video.
So I crop it up just right. But when I save it and open to view it, it seems as though my crop area has been moved up about a half inch.
Any tips on this one? Seems like it should have been pretty cut and dry?
Thanks!
-Jeff

I tried to make the crop its own project then add it to the final but the black top and bottom is maintained. As if you crop something in PS and dont save with a transparent backround.
However, I saved my original project (the crop PiP issue) as an AVI with the DV preset and found that my cropped PiP is the way I wanted, but only when choosing DV widescreen, then I can convert it to MP4 with another program. It also works with the Mpeg - NTS DVD Widescreen.
So, I believe the issue lies with making sure the output file is widescreen to maintain my desired crop area.
Thanks for the response, Steve!

Lightroom 3.2 RC issue with cropped preview on load

I'm running 3.2 RC on a Macbook Pro 10.6.4 with the Snow Leopard Graphics update. I've found a problem where I begin to load an image in the develop module using "fit" and it suddenly switches to a randomly tightly cropped view. If I zoom in and zoom out, it reverts to normal behavior.
Anyone else notice this?

I'm running the same software and haven't noticed this behavior. I have a 17" MBP.

Issues with "crop" effect; GPU accel

I turned on GPU acceleration on my iMac with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB card. I realize it is not "certified." Odd that you buy the fastest thing possible to get best performance and...
In any case, if I use software accel only, I have no problem. But this crops up with the crop effect: a light line at the border of the clip. Nothing I do -- changing parameters and so on -- changes this.
Here's a pic: it's the same clip superimposed over itself, one with color correct, one without. Any suggestions (other than turning off GPU accel...)

If I remove CC the line remains.
But: I figured out the cause, or rather the suspect effect. There was also a motion effect applied --change in scale and position over time. If I turn the motion effects off on each clip, the line disappears.
Blown up to 400 percent the line appears one pixel wide with a one pixel line on either side that seems to be the same color but at about 50 percent of the central line's brightness.

Issue with rescale and cropping in Captivate 5

I have an issue with cropping when rescaling. I have installed the December patch and am still having a problem.
1. I imported a PPT in 800x600.
2. I rescaled to 900x600, deselecting Maintain Aspect Ratio, and selecting to Keep project the same size and position the project Top Right. This leaves a white border 100 pixels along the left side of the project.
3. Saved the project.
4. Opened project and selected to rescale.
5. Deselected Maintain Aspect Ratio and changed the Width back to 800
6. Selected the Crop radio button.
7. Clicked Next.
8. Moved the crop area to the right to select the PPT and eliminate the white border on the left.
9. Click Apply to All Slides.
10. Click Finish.
The project rescales and is now 800x600, but it retains the white border on the left and distorts the slide image since it is now fitting in a 700x600 space. It seems to have ignored the Crop part of the task and just resized the image as is.
Has anyone else had this issue and know a workaround? I have submitted a bug but have not heard back and we have an immediate need to resize a project. Without a fix, we need to recreate the project in 800x600 to continue which will take a lot of time.

Hi,
bit off topic perhaps, but have a look at my blog post about Knockout master slide, where I gave some guidelines for rescaling projects

Strange problem with cropping a PDF

Hello,
I am having an issue with cropping PDFs. I have tried various versions of Acrobat as well as an application called Nitro PDF Professional.
Here is the situation. I can crop the PDF without any problem but the file size remains just about the same as the original and if I use other software to convert the cropped PDF to JPG, the entire original, uncropped PDF page reappears in the JPG.
I believe what I am experiencing is described at this link
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.graphics.illustrator/browse_thread/thread/7660de2cf9888 9b1
My question is, does anyone know a way to really crop a PDF, where the uncropped part of the page is really gone and not just "hidden"?
Thanks in advance for all replies.

I had mentioned Reduce File Size since I think that in earlier versions it was supposed to delete the cropped out area, though that may be my memory of a different application than AA. When I tried that with AA8.1.2, the crop could still be removed. The same happened with the PDF Optimizer. One sure way to remove the unwanted part is to print to a new PDF. However, you will lose any bookmarks and such.

Display issue with LiveCycle Designer ES4 for cropped PDF in WIN7

Hi,
I am having issue displaying the cropped PDF file in the LiveCycle Designer ES4. The PDF files are cropped 3 inches from bottom using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. It used to display properly when we have a WinXP machine but once we moved to a Win7 machine, it cannot display the top part of the PDF anymore. Can anyone help on how to fix the display issue? Thanks.
Kenny
Environment:
Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES4 V11.0.0.2013.0303.1.892433

Win 7, LiveCycle Designer does not display properly
Win XP, LiveCycle Designer used to display properly

Thanks vNohria.
I am having same issue with Adobe Acrobat 9. The Acrobat 9 cropped file is displaying properly under WinXP but have the same issue as above in Win7. This issue seems uncommon as I tried to look for similar issue and couldn't find any.
P.S. It's only the Design View in Win7 that has the issue, I can still see the file fine with Preview PDF in both enviornment.

Issues with Exchange Account and Q10

Well, I hate to be writing this, but I'm hoping that there might be someone out there that can help get past some first day issues I am experiencing.
The background: I have a long history with legacy BlackBerry devices, and almost as much history with iOS devices. My most recent phone was an iPhone 4S, and I make extensive use of iCloud to keep my iMacs, iPhone, and iPad connected in real-time. The setup worked. It wasn't perfect, but it worked. However, because I used to have a BlackBerry device (most recent the 9930) and because I don't use the iPhone for more than e-mail, iMessage, and phone calls (generally speaking), I decided to give the newest BlackBerry device a shot. So I bought a Q10.
At this point I feel compelled to say that the hardware is everything I had hoped it to be. It's solid, has a good weight, and appears to be made very well. I have no complaints with the hardware, including the keyboard (a big selling factor for me), so I won't really get into the hardware as the issues I am experiencing all have to do with the OS. Let me also say that I am very familiar with the iCloud integration issues (missing Contact photos and disabled Calendar sync), so I'm not voicing a complaint over those issues in this thread.
I have connected my Exchange account. I used to have everything in Exchange before I moved my entire computing world over to Apple, and now I keep Exchange around for e-mail. Therefore, I have no contacts, no tasks, no notes, very limited calendar entries, and a massive amount of e-mail on the Exchange server. However, to test everything out, I have added a single contact record so I can see it show up on the phone and be able to test two-way sync between the Q10 and Exchange. And here is where the first issues crop up. It looks like Exchange connects and then disconnects at random. For example, if I open my Contacts on the phone, I see the one contact (called John Doe). Then, as the phone is sitting there with the screen on, the contact will disappear and I will see a "Start adding contact to your contact list" notice on the screen. Then, after a short period of time, the single contact will return. It is important to note that the entire time this is happening, the All Contacts option is selected in the list so that all available contacts are shown. Additionally, I have SIM card contacts turned off, but if I alter the selection in the view list (All Contacts, Favorites, etc.), the SIM contacts will re-appear when I return to the All Contacts view. At the same time, even though I have turned off SIM Contacts in the settings, the setting has reverted to show SIM Contacts. If I turn off the setting again, SIM Contacts still show up. Possibly related: I can't delete contacts on the SIM card, no matter how many times I try, and it now it seems that I can't get SIM Contacts to go away in the Contacts app.
Likewise, Exchange seems to connect and disconnect from Calendar. I go to the calendar and move day by day to June 15th. I see an entry that I know is from Exchange (I have no other connected calendars at this time), and it is in blue. I change the calendar color to green and the entry changes color, as expected. However, if I jump back to today and then scroll day by day to get to June 15th again, the calendar entry is missing. After a few seconds, the entry re-appears, but it is, once again, in blue. The setting has reverted itself, and it seems like Exchange is completely disconnecting and automatically reconnecting to the phone like I am setting it up again for the first time. Very odd. As I'm typing this, I just saw something odd. I swiped to wake up the phone, and the active frames screen was the visible screen. The calendar app is still running (since I left it running, minimized, when the phone went to sleep) and the date shown in the active card was Jan 1, not Jun 8. Why? The date (and time) on the phone is correct and is set automatically by the cellular system.
Nevertheless, looking at BlackBerry Hub, I see only two e-mails in my Inbox from Exchange, even though I have roughly a dozen in my Inbox. The rest are filed in sub-folders. And bam! Just like that... I get the "Add Accounts" screen while looking at the Hub. In other words, as I was typing this, I first saw two Exchange e-mails and then, out of nowhere, the e-mails disappear and I see the "Add Accounts" screen as if no account has been connected.
So... first question: Is anyone else experiencing this issue? This is very strange, and very frustrating. Second: could this be related to the large amount of e-mails I have stored on Exchange, some of which have large attachments? I selected "Forever" as the sync history length. I have my concerns, however, if this is related to loading historical e-mails onto the phone (in other words, the first sync with Exchange) because there is no reason that I can understand that the phone would blank out as if no account was connected at all. I can understand lag and stuttering while the history is syncing, but not a complete disconnect and reconnect. Considering all of the issues with the one and only contact record disappearing, the calendar entry for Jun 15th disappearing and then reappearing with the wrong calendar color, and e-mail in my Inbox incomplete (two of a dozen e-mails) and ultimately disappearing, I feel like this OS just has some real, significant issues.
Full disclosure: I do want iCloud to work and am a fan of Apple products, but the lack of full iCloud sync support is not a big enough issue for me to want to send back this phone and/or see it fail so miserably. I will happily move my info from iCloud into Exchange, Google, and/or set up a new Exchange account for personal use (Office 365) because I am not wedded to iCloud per se. But, I won't go through that trouble if I can't even get my first account to work properly. It should also be noted that I do have a basic Google account (non-paid) and I had previously attempted to connect to it. However, I was experiencing the exact same issues with contacts disappearing, e-mail disappearing, etc. So I deleted that account. Truth be told, I deleted the Exchange account as well, and then re-connected to Exchange only to test one account at a time. Unfortunately, even with Exchange only, I am seeing very strange and frustrating behavior as described above.
Help... please. I want this to work but the frustration I am feeling is growing worse by the hour.

To follow-up with this issue:
I ended up performing a security wipe on my device. The security wipe finished, and I was about to reconnect with Exchange when I decided to visit our host's web site to see if they had any articles covering the issues I was experiencing. While they didn't have anything specific, I did find a step-by-step guide to connecting a BB10 device to Exchange... and right there at the end, it said "Do NOT enable memo sync."
I contacted support, and the rep told me that OS 10 has an issue with memo sync and it can cause all sorts of unpredictable behavior. Now, whether or not this is accurate I can say this: So far, the device is not disconnecting and reconnecting like it was before. Problem is, is this a result of not enabling memo sync, or is this a result of the security wipe?
I may have overlooked it, but I don't recall reading anything about that anywhere else. I'm tempted to try re-enabling the memo sync to see if everything blows up again. At least that way I can see for myself if the memo sync is a real issue. Of course, perhaps it's an issue with SherWeb (our host) specifically. Hm...
Anyway, for those that were interested, and for those that may come along in the future with a similar situation, the strange behavior that I first reported is no longer happening. I just don't know if it was a result of a security wipe or a result of not enabling memo sync with Exchange.

Performance Issues with Photoshop CS6 64-Bit

Hello -
Issue at hand: over the course of the last few weeks, I have noticed significant issues with performance since the last update to PS CS6 via the Adobe Application Manager, ranging from unexpected shut downs to bringing my workstation to a crawl (literally, my cursor seems to crawl across my displays). I'm curious as to if anyone else is experiencing these issues, or if there is a solution I have not yet tried. Here is a list of actions that result in these performance issues - there are likely more that I have either not experienced due to my frustration, or have not documented as occuring multiple times:
Opening files - results in hanging process, takes 3-10 seconds to resolve
Pasting from clipboard - results in hanging process, takes 3-10 seconds to resolve
Saving files - takes 3-10 seconds to open the dialog, another 3-10 seconds to return to normal window (saving a compressed PNG)
Eyedropper tool - will either crash Photoshop to desktop, or take 5-15 seconds to load
Attempting to navigate any menu - will either crash Photoshop to desktop, or take 5-15 seconds to load
Attempts I've taken to resolve this matter, which have failed:
Uninstalled all fonts that I have added since the last update (this was a pain in the ***, thank you Windows explorer for being glitchy)
Uninstall application and reinstall application
Use 32-bit edition
Changing process priority to Above Normal
Confirm process affinity to all available CPU cores
Change configuration of Photoshop performance options

Google 2 Step Verification on Gmail causing 10.9 issues with iCloud Keychain Sync?

Hi
I have just installed 10.9 on my Air 2011 and it works fine. I signed up the iCloud Keychain sync. I also updated my iPhone to iOS 7.0.3 and also signed up for iCloud keychain sync. All appeared well until I set up my iMac 2009. This had the same email accounts setup but as POP not IMAP (my bad) and so I ended up with multiple email account copies everywhere. I corrected this on each device without issue. Managed to lock an exchange account for work but I can sort that through IT support tomorrow. Anyway an issue with my Gmail cropped up. As I have 2 step verification enabled I have application specific passwords for each device. Now I found that the iMac (last to move to 10.9) propagated its app specific password to the Air and then locked the Gmail access out. If I correct on the Air it propagates back to the iMac locking that out of my Gmail account.
So iCloud Keychain sync only seems to support one password for each email account.
The only option I can see is disable 2 step on gmail and revert to my account password rather than an app specific password.
Has anyone had a similar issue?
Has anyone managed to get a solution where gmail 2 step can be retained?
Is there a way to block certain accounts from participating in the iCloud Keychain sync?
Is there a way to force the same app specific password on multiple gmail accessing devices?
Any help welcomed.
Thanks

Yep. My other iMac works now too on App specific passwords and iCloud Keychain sync. So that is my iPad, iPhone, Mac Pro, Air, iMac 2012 all working fine on Gmail App Specific passwords. Just my iMac 2009, presume its my bad and in need of a revoke. Sorry for wasting all your time.

Saving as PDF with crop marks.

I'm trying to create a Printready PDF from my Structured FM file. I recently upgraded to FM9.
With earlier versions of FM we've had issues with colours not exporting correctly from FM, and I've had to print .ps files, run a colour correction script and then open the files as .pdf. Due to a limitation of my colour correction script I could only print 5-10pgs at a time. Which made the process very time consuming.
I pitched the upgrade to FM9 to my boss because when I initially tested the trial version and used the 'save as PDF' function, the colours came up correct without having to use the colour correction script.
HOWEVER, now that I'm trying to create printready PDF's of my document, via the save as PDF function, I'm not getting crop marks/registration marks on my files.
On the PDF Setup Dialog box I have 'Western' choosen under Registration Marks. (Screen Shot attached)
Initally I thought it could be because I had the page size set to the exact page size I wanted, but I've tried making the page size bigger and they still don't seem to appear.
Hopefully this is an easy question and I've just missed something simple!

Caveat CMYK!
Unfortunately, it's still not completely reliable. There are issues with quite a number of OTF Pro fonts not rendering correctly, and with spot colour tints and table fills that use spot colours.
The upgrade to from COlourChameleon to PubliPDF may be still worth considering...
Also, with your crop mark issue, how big is the page size compared to the output size that you specifed in the PDF Setup? You have to add at least 1cm to the page size to give it room to place the crop marks.

VMQ issues with NIC Teaming

Hi All
Apologies if this is a long one but I thought the more information I can provide the better.
We have recently designed and built a new Hyper-V environment for a client, utilising Windows Server R2 / System Centre 2012 R2 however since putting it into production, we are now seeing problems with Virtual Machine Queues. These manifest themselves as
either very high latency inside virtual machines (we’re talking 200 – 400 mSec round trip times), packet loss or complete connectivity loss for VMs. Not all VMs are affected however the problem does manifest itself on all hosts. I am aware of these issues
having cropped up in the past with Broadcom NICs.
I'll give you a little bit of background into the problem...
Frist, the environment is based entirely on Dell hardware (Equallogic Storage, PowerConnect Switching and PE R720 VM Hosts). this environment was based on Server 2012 and a decision was taken to bring this up to speed to R2. This was due to a number
of quite compelling reasons, mainly surrounding reliability. The core virtualisation infrastructure consists of four VM hosts in a Hyper-V Cluster.
Prior to the redesign, each VM host had 12 NICs installed:
Quad port on-board Broadcom 5720 daughter card: Two NICs assigned to a host management team whilst the other two NICs in the same adapter formed a Live Migration / Cluster heartbeat team, to which a VM switch was connected with two vNICs exposed to the
management OS. Latest drivers and firmware installed. The Converged Fabric team here was configured in LACP Address Hash (Min Queues mode), each NIC having the same two processor cores assigned. The management team is identically configured.
Two additional Intel i350 quad port NICs: 4 NICs teamed for the production VM Switch uplink and 4 for iSCSI MPIO. Latest drivers and firmware. The VM Switch team spans both physical NICs to provide some level of NIC level fault tolerance, whilst the remaining
4 NICs for ISCSI MPIO are also balanced across the two NICs for the same reasons.
The initial driver for upgrading was that we were once again seeing issues with VMQ in the old design with the converged fabric design. The two vNics in the management OS for each of these networks were tagged to specific VLANs (that were obviously accessible
to the same designated NICs in each of the VM hosts).
In this setup, a similar issue was being experienced to our present issue. Once again, the Converged Fabric vNICs in the Host OS would on occasion, either lose connectivity or exhibit very high round trip times and packet loss. This seemed to correlate with
a significant increase in bandwidth through the converged fabric, such as when initiating a Live Migration and would then affect both vNICS connectivity. This would cause packet loss / connectivity loss for both the Live Migration and Cluster Heartbeat vNICs
which in turn would trigger all sorts of horrid goings on in the cluster. If we disabled VMQ on the physical adapters and the team multiplex adapter, the problem went away. Obviously disabling VMQ is something that we really don’t want to resort to.
So…. The decision to refresh the environment with 2012 R2 across the board (which was also driven by other factors and not just this issue alone) was accelerated.
In the new environment, we replaced the Quad Port Broadcom 5720 Daughter Cards in the hosts with new Intel i350 QP Daughter cards to keep the NICs identical across the board. The Cluster heartbeat / Live Migration networks now use an SMB Multichannel configuration,
utilising the same two NICs as in the old design in two isolated untagged port VLANs. This part of the re-design is now working very well (Live Migrations now complete much faster I hasten to add!!)
However…. The same VMQ issues that we witnessed previously have now arisen on the production VM Switch which is used to uplink the virtual machines on each host to the outside world.
The Production VM Switch is configured as follows:
Same configuration as the original infrastructure: 4 Intel 1GbE i350 NICs, two of which are in one physical quad port NIC, whilst the other two are in an identical NIC, directly below it. The remaining 2 ports from each card function as iSCSI MPIO
interfaces to the SAN. We did this to try and achieve NIC level fault tolerance. The latest Firmware and Drivers have been installed for all hardware (including the NICs) fresh from the latest Dell Server Updates DVD (V14.10).
In each host, the above 4 VM Switch NICs are formed into a Switch independent, Dynamic team (Sum of Queues mode), each physical NIC has
RSS disabled and VMQ enabled and the Team Multiplex adapter also has RSS disabled an VMQ enabled. Secondly, each NIC is configured to use a single processor core for VMQ. As this is a Sum of Queues team, cores do not overlap
and as the host processors have Hyper Threading enabled, only cores (not logical execution units) are assigned to RSS or VMQ. The configuration of the VM Switch NICs looks as follows when running Get-NetAdapterVMQ on the hosts:
Name                           InterfaceDescription
Enabled BaseVmqProcessor MaxProcessors NumberOfReceive

Load is hardly an issue on these NICs and a single core seems to have sufficed in the old design, so this was carried forward into the new.
The loss of connectivity / high latency (200 – 400 mSec as before) only seems to arise when a VM is moved via Live Migration from host to host. If I setup a constant ping to a test candidate VM and move it to another host, I get about 5 dropped pings
at the point where the remaining memory pages / CPU state are transferred, followed by an dramatic increase in latency once the VM is up and running on the destination host. It seems as though the destination host is struggling to allocate the VM NIC to a
queue. I can then move the VM back and forth between hosts and the problem may or may not occur again. It is very intermittent. There is always a lengthy pause in VM network connectivity during the live migration process however, longer than I have seen in
the past (usually only a ping or two are lost, however we are now seeing 5 or more before VM Nework connectivity is restored on the destination host, this being enough to cause a disruption to the workload).
If we disable VMQ entirely on the VM NICs and VM Switch Team Multiplex adapter on one of the hosts as a test, things behave as expected. A migration completes within the time of a standard TCP timeout.
VMQ looks to be working, as if I run Get-NetAdapterVMQQueue on one of the hosts, I can see that Queues are being allocated to VM NICs accordingly. I can also see that VM NICs are appearing in Hyper-V manager with “VMQ Active”.
It goes without saying that we really don’t want to disable VMQ, however given the nature of our clients business, we really cannot afford for these issues to crop up. If I can’t find a resolution here, I will be left with no choice as ironically, we see
less issues with VMQ disabled compared to it being enabled.
I hope this is enough information to go on and if you need any more, please do let me know. Any help here would be most appreciated.
I have gone over the configuration again and again and everything appears to have been configured correctly, however I am struggling with this one.
Many thanks
Matt

Hi Gleb
I can't seem to attach any images / links until my account has been verified.
There are a couple of entries in the ndisplatform/Operational log.
Event ID 7- Querying for OID 4194369794 on TeamNic {C67CA7BE-0B53-4C93-86C4-1716808B2C96} failed. OidBuffer is failed. Status = -1073676266

It would appear as though the two GUIDS in the second and third events correlate with two of the NICs in the VM Switch team (the affected team).
Under MSLBFO Provider/Operational, there are also quite a few of the following errors:
Event ID 8 - Failing NBL send on TeamNic 0xffffe00129b79010
How can I find out what tNIC correlates with "0xffffe00129b79010"
Without the use of the nice little table that I put together (that I can't upload), the NICs and Teams are configured as follows:
Production VM Switch Team (x4 Interfaces) - Intel i350 Quad Port NICs. As above, the team itself is balanced across physical cards (two ports from each card). External SCVMM Logical Switch is uplinked to this team. Serves
as the main VM Switch for all Production Virtual machines. Team Mode is Switch Independent / Dynamic (Sum of Queues). RSS is disabled on all of the physical NICs in this team as well as the Multiplex adapter itself. VMQ configuration is as follows:
Interface Name          -      BaseVMQProc          -        MaxProcs
-      VMQ / RSS
VM_SWITCH_ETH01                  10
     1                           VMQ
VM_SWITCH_ETH02                  12
1                           VMQ
VM_SWITCH_ETH03                  14
   1                           VMQ
VM_SWITCH_ETH04                16
    1                           VMQ
SMB Fabric (x2 Interfaces) - Intel i350 Quad Port on-board daughter card. As above, these two NICs are in separate, VLAN isolated subnets that provide SMB Multichannel transport for Live Migration traffic and CSV Redirect / Cluster
Heartbeat data. These NICs are not teamed. VMQ is disabled on both of these NICs. Here is the RSS configuration for these interfaces that we have implemented:
Interface Name         -      BaseVMQProc         -        MaxProcs
-      VMQ / RSS
SMB_FABRIC_ETH01                18                                   2
RSS
SMB_FABRIC_ETH02                18                                   2
RSS
ISCSI SAN (x4 Interfaces) - Intel i350 Quad Port NICs. Once again, no teaming is required here as these serve as our ISCSI SAN interfaces (MPIO enabled) to the hosts. These four interfaces are balanced across two physical cards as per
the VM Switch team above. No VMQ on these NICS, however RSS is enabled as follows:
Interface Name          -      BaseVMQProc        -         MaxProcs
   -        VMQ / RSS
ISCSI_SAN_ETH01                    2                                    2
RSS
ISCSI_SAN_ETH02                    6                                    2
RSS
ISCSI_SAN_ETH03                    2
2                            RSS
ISCSI_SAN_ETH04                   6
2                            RSS
Management Team (x2 Interfaces) - The second two interfaces of the Intel i350 Quad Port on-board daughter card. Serves as the Management uplink to the host. As there are some management workloads hosted in this
cluster, a VM Switch is connected to this team, hence a vNIC is exposed to the Host OS in order to manage the Parent Partition. Teaming mode is Switch Independent / Address Hash (Min Queues). As there is a VM Switch connected to this team, the NICs

Photo file issues with iWeb and Aperture....also too much duplicating!!

A little background, before I get into my iWeb issue.....
Years ago I tried iPhoto, but I didn't like how it duplicated all my photo files and I wasn't very fond of the file structure it created. Years later (last month) I got Aperture. Aperture (still has a long way to go) also duplicates all your files and places them in their own file structure. If I can get along with Aperture (and if it will get along with my other programs), I won't mind putting all my files into the file structure it creates. But for now, I still have my original files in the original file structure I have had for many years as a back up.
On to my issue with iWeb and Aperture....
To add photos to iWeb, you can either go into the iWeb media center or you can drag and drop photos from other locations.
1st: iWeb media center
To get my photos into the media center, I would have to load them into iPhoto (iP 6 does allow you to keep your original file structure, but it still creates .jpg files, which fills up your hard-drive. More duplicates I don't need or want). So that is out for me. iP6 will let you view and use your Raw files.
Another way is to drag and drop your file structure directly into the media center window. I don't think this duplicates any files (at least I haven't been able to find any), but it takes an awfully long time to thumbnail all your photos (several hours and still waiting for 22K + files). Also, it won't show any Raw files. Again, out for me.
Aperture won't let you drag and drop its library into the media center at all. So if I was to move all my files into the Aperture Library, I wouldn't be able to access them for iWeb at all.....Out for me.
2nd: Drag and Drop
I was able to drag and drop Raw files directly into iWeb from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Adobe Lightroom.
As I said before, I am trying to move over to Aperture. However, Aperture won't let me drag and drop photos. What is the deal here??? These are both Apple programs and they won't play nice with each other. Very annoying.
Anyway, I put a link below to my iWeb test webpage I made. All the photos were Raw files that I did a drag and drop from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Lightroom. There were no problems with the publishing.

So, does anyone know if they can get photos from Aperture to work?? Thanks for any responses.

Jedi,
Perhaps you are right.
I am not a web developer and I will never be. I don't feel like spending countless hours learning how to use Dreamweaver or some other Pro web app. iWeb looked like a way to start making websites of my photos for my friends and family (much easier and better than Home Page on .Mac). All I was asking was for a way to drag and drop my photos (especially Raw files) with Aperture. Which I can do with Lightroom, Adobe Bridge and C1 Pro, and without using iPhoto.
I am not a Pro photographer either, but I purchased Aperture based on what was advertised on the Apple website. From that ad, Aperture fit my photo needs almost to a tee. I am looking to adjust Raw files, Crop, Archive and keep my use of Hard Disk space down to a minimum. I can use Photoshop for the other 5% of things I do. However, Aperture has some issues (if you own it, then you already know. If you don't, you can read the Aperture Forum) This is one of the reasons I never went to iPhoto for archiving. I didn't like the way it duplicated all my files, taking up more disk space and its file structure. So even though Aperture won't play nice with other programs, I was surprised that it wouldn't play nice with any Apple programs.
After reading your post and based on what you are saying, everyone either needs to have/learn/use Pro apps only or have/learn/use iApps only. Don't Cross the Streams!!
I guess that means Apple will need to fix DVD Studio Pro. It uses photos that are in your iPhoto library and music from iTunes (iApps in a Pro app??....for shame...."it was never intended"). Also, DVD SP won't read the Aperture library. Does that mean there are 3 platforms? Pro, iApp and Mediocre??
Now I have 2 questions:
1. Can someone please tell me which apps are Pro and iApp, or if there is Mediocre? I don't want to mix them up and "Cross the Streams".
2. Again....is there anyway to use Aperture with iWeb?
TIA,
Narvon

Issue with saving JPG's

I have an issue with Photoshop CC that I am hoping is just a setting because at present it is a real PITA.
I have photos in Lightroom that I have exported in JPG format. I want to bring them into PS and then apply a simple crop to them. I have the option to delete outside the crop area selected.
Crop works fine but when I try to save I can simply save it as a JPG. Rather PSD comes up as the option. If I select JPEG from the dropdown the "Save as copy" is active and I end up with two images or I have to change the file name.
Other versions let me open up JPGs, alter them and then save them as JPGs without issue so what is going on here?

Usually when Photoshop defaults to PSD it means there's something about the document can't be saved in JPEG format - an extra channel (e.g., selection saved) or data beyond the edge of the crop (you've covered that) or the fact that it has a non-Background layer, or something...
Can you screengrab your environment at the time when it wants to save as PSD (but without the file-save dialog blocking the view)? Save the image as a PNG or JPEG and post it here via the little camera icon just above the editor box.
