Leaf Digital Back files

After adopting Aperture and learning how to use it in my workflow for my Canon RAW files, I find that it does not support the files from the Leaf Digital backs.
Considering the number of file types that Aperture does support, I find this a glaring omission. Taking the time to add software and learning to my workflow is not a small task and to abandon Aperture in favor of Lightroom because of this is something I am not looking forward to.
Has anyone else had to work around this issue or have any insight into Apple adding this file format to Aperture?

It has recently emerged that Apple will provide "support for 11 other RAW formats from different cameras, including the Nikon D40, Leica Digilux 3, Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1, Samsung GX-1L, and seven of the Leaf Aptus and Valeo models."
This is from the mouth (or, actually, pen) of Joe Schorr who's heading the Aperture team. Look up his posts on this forum.
I presume that the additional support will be part of the pending System update (10.4.9) that everybody's waiting for. Dare we hope for a release tonight? After all, it's Tuesday - and usually Apple Software updates happen on a Tuesday.
Cheers,
k.

Still no support for Leaf Aptus digital backs in 10.4.7

This product just cracks me up. No reasonable video card upgrade path for us early Quad owners (a total ripoff) and no support for high end digital backs. This is turning into a really bad joke. Apple is totally clueless about supporting professional photographers other than wedding and sports shooter. Lame. This is clearly geared more to the prosumer market rather than real working pros with multiple cameras for different requirements. This whole experience has left a really bad taste in my mouth after supporting and using Apple computers since the Apple IIe.
Joe if you're reading this is there any chance that Aperture will EVER support the Leaf backs? If not I'm going to stop wasting my valuable time on this product.

lawrence I'm sure you'll be excited though that though there is no support for high end digital backs, or Fuji S3 - that there is however support for the C7070 and other compacts. Thank goodness, we can now work.

Still no support for Leaf Aptus digital backs?

Once again it appears that 'pro' means 35mm style dslr shooters. Odd, as most the pros I know shoot some kind of MFDB such as Leaf or Phase. The supported list is long with prosumer and comsumer dslrs yet not a single digital back. What's really funny (and not in a good way) is that testimonial video that misleadingly shows one of the sponsored photographers using a MFDB. Apple should be ashamed of that deception. What ever happened to honestly?
Come on guys, I know that Leaf has been talking to you for a good long while now. Maybe some of the resources that went into a useless consumer/amateur feature like iPod integration could have been better spent on some real pro oriented items like .mos support. Maybe the marketing guys need to come clean about for whom this application is REALLY developed.

Aperture is not marketed as Medium Format— yet. This should not be interpreted as meaning they are not working on it, they obviously are.

Film editors here in Hollywood have been using the iPod for a few years to store and show 1080i HD (Pro) previews of their movie projects, just because someone chooses to load them up with MP3s doesn't mean that is all there is to them
The iPod is connected to a plasma or a 1080i/1080p monitor/television via firewire and plays the stored 1080i HD movie, full resolution and aspect ratio.

Trying to open file in photoshop elements, only first option available in Edit Photo window. The other two has "Edit a Copy is not applicable to raw or Digital Negative files" same for Edit Original.

Brand new user to Lightroom 5. Was following tutorials and doing fine editing. After done editing NEF files, I'm trying to open them in PSE 11 to further edit. Using the "Edit Photo with Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor". But the window only has the first option available and the other two grayed out. Each of those has "...is not applicable to raw or Digital Negative files." What??

sorry, no can do...ain't gonna happen.
What you've done is hit the wall on is the basic difference between lite duty spot healing and photo level tone and color correction (Lightroom and Camera Raw) and heavy duty pixel retouching in Photoshop.
When you need to substantially manipulate the "pixels" you need Photoshop and you'll be forced to render the raw file into a TIFF or PSD file either through Camera Raw or more better, via Lightroom.
You can do the basic tone and color correction directly in Lightroom and edit in Photoshop from Lightroom. But you will NEED to create and save out a "rendered" image that is no longer raw...then retouch to your heart's desire, save it and it'll be available in Lightroom along side your original raw if you choose.
But no, there's no way to open a raw in Photoshop, manipulate the heck out of it with massive retouching then save that back out as a raw file...ain't gonna happen.

:: Phase One Digital Back H5

Has anyone any idea how does Aperture handle the RAW data in the near future who was shot with the professional Digitalback from PhaseOne?

Phase One backs are the most used high end digital back for professional photographers who need the format and quality that they produce and blow away any file that is produced by a Canon 1DS MK11.... i have both and use both extensively.... each for different types of job.
But Phase One makes you use Capture One software (which they also sell for use with Canon cameras etc) They probably won't let Apple into their closed file system...... keep revenue for them to sell the software upgrades etc. The latest Capture One version 5 is a dog's dinner and Aperture 2 blew it away as an editing and organisational tool.... Ap 3 takes this even further......

Imacon, Phase One MF digital backs

I love Aperture, but, if Apple labels it like the tool for _Professional Photographers_ I think it must have an ability to understand raws from digital backs. Moreover, it says it supports DNG (Adobe), but DNG from Leica only draws a small preview inside Aperture, no full image file. And it must have tethered shooting support instead of automatic import via scripting! Otherwise it's just a wonderful rating utility with nice controls and (I believe in it blindly) cool raw conversion.

How can I have a backing file call a JavaScript function?

I have a Weblogic portal with a JSP portlet. The portlet has a backing file. How can I get the backing file to call a JavaScript function in my portlet?
thanks

Hi
your questions are not correct because you are mixing up server side operations with client side operations.
First server side code executes then the page is sent to the browser , then any javascript executes on the browser. So asking for javascript to be called from backing file (server side) doesn't make sense or asking for javascript to read a parameter doesnt exactly work either.
However in your server code suppose you have a variable action in the request that you want javascript to know then in your JSP you would add something like
<script type="text/javascript">
var action = '${requestScope.action}';
alert(action);//or whatever you want to do
<c:if test="${requestScope.someOthervariable == ''xyz'}"><%-- this check is done on the server --%>
callSomeJavascript(); <%--this javascript is only executed when the server side value of someOtherVariable is xyz --%>
</c:if>
</script>
i.e. you can output the javascript that has the variables you need or the function calls you want.
Like I said understand whats server side and whats client side.

How to call a database controller in backing file

Hello,
First of all, I'd like to apologize if this question is posted by someone else before. But because I haven't been to find the answer so I just post this question here with hope that someone will have the answer for me.
I am using weblogic 8.1 SP3. I am trying to build a web portal which requires users to login and logout. Based on the tutorials from BEA and the documents that I read in this forum, I decided to use backing file to check for the username and password. I am using MySQL database and I have a page flow controller which is based on the database control. How can I call that control in the backing file? Or is there anyway to compare the username and password that the user enters to the ones in the MySQL tables? I don't want to create a database connection in that backing file since the page flow controller can do that for me already.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance

Unable to create temporary backing file

My program is throwing out the error:
temporary open: /var/tmp/BDB20825: Too many open files
unable to create temporary backing file
This happens after my program has been running for about 4 hours. The program appears to run out of file descriptors. The listing of /proc/<PID>/fd shows hundreds of lines naming the same file (/var/tmp/BDB20825), like this:
lrwx------ 1 zobell users 64 Jul 28 14:41 622 -> /var/tmp/BDB20825 (deleted)
That file does not exist. I suspect that someone is deleting but failing to close the file. A few open file descriptors with this deleted file occur slowly in the early hours, but not at a fast enough rate to bring the program down when it does. It looks like there is a sudden flood at the end.
The program repeats this error slowly, and is stuck inside the db code. Here is the gdb backtrace I am seeing every time I interrupt:

At this time, the program is trying to extract fields out of an XmlDocument that is the result of a query. The program uses a pre-calculated XmlQueryExpression to extract a specific field. This may not be the best way to extract a field from a document, given the apparent overhead of needing a temporary file!
My program queries two database files (OD.dbxml and FD.dbxml.new), and uses the information to add records to the second file. The databases are rather big:
bash-3.2$ ls -l /tmp/*dbxml*
-rw-rw---- 1 zobell users 5233745920 Jul 28 14:42 /tmp/FD.dbxml.new
-rw-rw---- 1 zobell users 6539427840 Jul 13 10:16 /tmp/OD.dbxml
(I keep them in /tmp because everywhere else uses NFS and performance is awful with NFS.)
My environment:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5.3 (Tikanga) 32 bit.
Berkeley DB XML 2.4.16, C++ interface.
Disk space should not be an issue:
bash-3.2$ df /tmp /var
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-tmp
28948572 13044384 14409968 48% /tmp
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-root
144742920 5333544 131938272 4% /
I ran this program about a year ago and did not see this issue. I have made a few changes and linked to the newer version of the XML database since then. Any help is appreciated.

I have more information about this problem.
If I "disable" the routine __os_zerofill() in os_fzero.c, by having it always return (0), I no longer get an exception and my application appears to run smoothly. However, I have not determined what in this routine leads to the exception. And, I have no idea what the short and long term consequences of "disabling" this routine will be....

Acrobat 7 is not saving digital ID files

Hello,
I've searched ALL over and can't find anything relevant. I am using Adobe Acrobat 7 Pro for digital signatures. Recently it started to prompt me for a digital ID whenevr trying to sign a document. I go into the security settings, select a digital ID and set it as default for signing. Works great until you close Acrobat and re-open it... then the digital ID file and security settings completely disappear. I've tried everything from creating a new digital ID file, to reinstalling Acrobat entireley. Also deleted the Crypto folder hoping that wold help. No luck.
Any ideas??
Thanks

Hi paintb4707,
This is something I've never seen before, so I'll take a stab in the dark.
Make sure Acrobat is closed
Run regedit
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\7.0
Delete the Security key
Close the Registry Editor
Launch Acrobat
Select the Advanced > Security Settings menu item
Click the Add ID toolbar button
Select the Find and existing Digital ID radio button. and then click Next
Click the Browse button
Navigate to the location an existing digital ID, select it, and then click the Open button
Enter the password and then click the Next button
Click the Finish button
Close and relaunch Acrobat and see if the digital ID persists.

Portlet backing file vs content backing file

Hi,
could someone explain the differences between a "portlet backing file" and a "content backing file". Both are properties available on a portlet.
Thx
Emmanuel

According to the documentation, here is the difference:
Scoping and Backing Files
The difference between having a backing file as part of <netuix: portlet backingfile =some_value> or part of <netuix: jspContent backingfile=some_value> is related to scoping.
For example, if you have the backing file on the portlet itself, you can actually stop the portlet from rendering. If the backing file is at the jspContent level, the portlet portion of the control tree has already run; you use this implementation to run processes that are specifically for the JSP in the portlet.
See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/portlets/building.html#wp1077130 for more info.

Is it possible to use a portlet backing file on the dvt_enabler portlet?

We currently have a 9.2 portal with a simple login form portlet that uses a backing file to do much security checking, authentication against ActiveDir, etc. Our requirement is to convert to WLP 10.3 using the DVT enabler portlet or something like it for login (because DVT/DISC is to be turned on for the portal). will it be possible to specify that backing file against the DVT enabler portlet?

I'm not sure using the DVT enabler portlet will do what you want. It basically just specifies the render dependencies to bring in the dojo and dvt javascript libraries. It doesn't provide any login support itself; the javascript it brings responds to the logged-in state of the user (accessed via DISC), so something else is required to login the user.

No Backing File in Portlet

Hi All,
Is there any possibility of not having a backing file when we are implementing the IPC (Inter-Portlet Communication) in our portal application ??
Thanks in Advance
Portal Developer

Hello,
A backing file is not needed unless you want to do something "custom" with the events your portlet receives. All the options listed at http://edocs.bea.com/wlp/docs102/portlets/ipc.html#wp1055503 can be specified in your .portlet file, and only "invoke backing file method" actually requires a backing file.
