Looking for a Workflow-Checklist (plugin)

Hello everybody,
I really like LR as my primary workflow-tool.
What I'm actually looking for: a "workflow-checklist-plugin".
This plugin should be a plugin visible in the develop module of Lightroom.
It (the plugin) should show me a list of checkboxes (which I could define).
These Checkboxes contain the different steps of my LR-Workflow (to make shure that I don't forget one of them).
Also, the "TAG" Metadata of the photo should be edited within the plugins-windows (with this feature, there's no need to jump back to the library to add a TAG).
All data might be saved in the photos metadata.
To describe a bit more in detail what I mean, I generated a "sample picture"
Do you have any idea if there's somewhere such a workflow-plugin?
And: do you have any additional idea if it's possible to modify the TAG of a photo in the develop module (without jumbing back to the library)?
I should be glad about any suggestion as I just started a small project on freelancer and don't have a good feeling about the offers coming in ;-)
Thanks for your help,
regards,
Marcel

Hi everybody,
thanks a lot for your very helpful suggestions regarding the workflow.
Coming back to the plugin I'm looking for, here are four more examples to explain what I want to address with this "customizable checklist" in the devlop module of lightroom:
-identify all photos for batch processing in photoshop (HDR, stacking etc.) - one point on the checklist ("batch in PS") and a smart collection to filter all this photos would speed up this a little bit.
-identify all photos that needs a "batch" noice reduction. I.e. I have many photos for which I do the first noice reduction depending on camera model and ISO. With a checkmark at "batch noice reduction", these photos could be found easily in a smart collection (and would not be done twice).
-identify all photos accepted by "fineart gallery x". With a checkmark on the checklist and a smart collection showing all the photos with this checkmark, you could get a visual understandig of what (kind of) photos they've accepted (and what not). This point probably is not a point for the development module only, of course, but for the library too. So, if the checklist could be shown in the library too, it woould be fantastic.
-identify all photos for which I transferred the copyright to somebody else (i.e. a client) or photos which I develop only once as an original (and which will never be pubished online).
Of course, all this could be done by using the "tag" field. Jumping back to the library, putting in some words in the tag (i.e. "PS-batch","HDR" etc.) would do this job too (that's how I do it today).
But a quick to "check/uncheck list" seems to be the faster way (just my 2c).
And the plugin I'm looking for should only do one thing: speed up the work not done "with the camera at hand."
From my non-programmer-view, this plugin seemed to be not very complicated : extend the LR metadata and show a checklist to edit this metadata (nothing more ;-)
But I already learned that, within LR, this is not as easy as it seemed ;-)
As I initially wrote, I also posted a freelancer project for this programming and there are already applicants for this job but "I have to check if they really do have the competency needed" (I'm not very optimistic, that I'll find someone thru freelancer).
So, I'm still hoping that there is already a plugin doing this job or that it will be easy to develop this "show a list-plugin ;-)
Regards,
Marcel

Create several virtual copies at once. Looking for a workflow of exporting 650 photo's in two versions

Hello,
i have photographed a wedding and i have 650 finished photo's. All came from a 5Dm3 of 5Dm2. All are in raw. The color versions are ready. I have created a preset to convert all 650 edited version to B/W. The key is i will not edit the curve and other light and contrast sliders because, and cropping for that sense since these are all done already. So to make it more simple, i need to silver 650 photo;s in color and B/W. The color versions are done.
I am looking at three workflows:
1 create virtual copies of the 650 photo's, filter them out, apply the b/w preset/ make some small tweakes and export the B/W version
2 export the color version to a 16 bit tiff, import those and the apply the b/w preset/ make some small tweakes and export the B/W version
3 make an extra copy of the lightroom library and then apply the b/w preset/ make some small tweakes and export the B/W version
In option one i do not know how to create 650 virtual copies at once. It seems i can do this only one photo at a time which is to time consuming
In option 2 this is an extra batch and consuming me much more hard disk space
in option three this is workable but i rather stick to one library
Any help in this?
Thanks!!
Ronald

Go to the library module, grid view. Highlight all your images and create a new collection. One of the options when you create the new collection is to make new virtual copies. The collection will consist of virtual copies of all your original files. Then, just work with the collection and create your black-and-white images. The virtual copies can be exported just like the regular images. So you can export color and black-and-white versions.

Looking for a 'step filter' plugin...

Essentially I'm looking for a step based filter plugin that works in a similar way to Delay Designer, whereby you can define the cutoff/resonance/pan etc within a grid, thus giving complete control over where, when and for how long parts are filtered.
This would be a pretty cool plug I think and I've looked before but not found anything. I like the simplicity of Delay Designer too so I don't want to get lost in features I don't need. Does anyone know of such a thing? I have Reaktor if anyone knows any user files, but I always find it a bit complex and painful. Otherwise I'm prepared to pay for something if it's decent.
Cheers

This has a 128 step sequencer for filtering and panning:

Also the Ensemble "Vierring" in your Reaktor factory Library has fantastic filtering features as each of the 4 filter bands can be linked to it's own step sequencer plus many FX options.

Looking for a cairo-dock plugin/applet

Does anyone know where i can find/download the terminal/konsole plug-in/applet for cairo-dock. It looks like a miniature version of the terminal, it's also fixed in place when it's executed. I've installed cairo-dock-plugins and cairo-dock-plug-ins-extras from the AUR, but it doesn't seem to be there. Thanks
Edit: I've also spent a while goggling and searching the cairo-dock site.

Looking for the camera raw plugin for Nikon d3100

Hello!
I'm familiar with how to install a camera raw plugin for photoshop. However, I've had a difficult time finding the correct download link for the Nikon d3100 for ps cs4. Will you please point me in the right direction with a link or otherwise? Thanks so much!

ACR - Adobe Camera Raw versions are specific to the version of Photoshop you have.
They don't provide updates to your version for cameras that were released much later.
You need to download the LATEST version of DNR Converter and use this to convert a FOLDER that contains your D3100 files to DNGs which then can be opened in your older version of ACR for Photoshop CS4.
The Adobe DNG Converter, a free utility that converts files from more than 350 cameras to DNG, enables you to easily convert camera-specific raw files to a more universal DNG raw file.

I am looking for Microsoft Media Player plugin for Firefox for Mobile, where can I find it for download and installation on my Samsung S2 Mobile phone running Android (2.3.3)

Kindly assist me in this regard.

There is no such plugin for any Android browser. I doubt Microsoft will ever make one. The best chance you have is if the site provides a direct link to the file and you download it. You then might be able to play the file with one of the media players on the phone.

Looking for a non-Weblogic plugin

I would like to use the plugin to also proxy to a Windows 2K server running
IIS. I have used the Weblogic plugin for this function and have validated
that it works properly but have a preference of doing this in a vendor
supported fashion.
Does anyone know of either source code for plugins and/or a open-source
offering?

Looking for a good accordion plugin

Hi,
Is there a good and natural sounding accordion plugin for Logic Pro ?
I can't find any in Logic.
thanks

Motu Ethnic instrument has some pretty good ones too.
Make sure you use a controller for volume as the
authenticity of an Accordion sound is as much in it's
extremes of mid note dynamics as the sample itself.
But the option I would advise you would be to get a
real one! You can pick up a usable accordion for
about $100 and there dead easy to play (provided you
just use the right hand) when purchasing check that
the bladder has no leaks by drawing in or pushing out
air without pressing a note (i.e. you shouldn't be
able to). You'll have to pay a bit more for a MIDI
accordion though (sorry bad joke).
Stick a condensor or even a dynamic (if you don't
want key noise) in front of the sound holes (say half
a foot away) and I guarantee you'll beat anything you
have to try and program even if you're inexperienced.
The problem with that advice Christian, respectfully, is that there are accordions and there are accordions.
A regular accordion sounds very different from a musette, concertina, and as I recently discovered on a film I scored last year a bayon.
So if you need a variety of them that is not a solution.

Looking for HTML e-mail plugin

Does anyone know of a plugin for Dreamweaver that will allow me to produce a webpage as I normally do, but which will export the HTML code suitable for use as an HTML e-mail?

AFAIK there are no plug-ins or extensions for this.
How to Code HTML Emails
http://www.sitepoint.com/article/code-html-email-newsletters/
Use inline CSS styles for fonts and background colors. Use Tables to hold your page elements. Use absolute URLs to images on your web server. Give people who can't see your HTML page in their email client a link to the page on server. And as always, send only to opt in addresses and provide a link at the bottom for folks to opt out. In many ways, using an Email Service for campaigns and newsletters is money well spent.

Any Photographers out there? Looking for "Mac" workflow!

I am looking to see if there are any photographers out there that would like to share their workflow.
Like Download, to Aperture, to iphoto, to storage
Do you keep your photos in folders or Aperture?
How do you keep the copyright in the EXIF data but not all of your camera settings?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Since this isn't really a hardware question, I'd suggest asking in the Aperture forum. You'll be more likely to have experienced users see your question there, since not all Aperture users are using iMacs.
Regards.

Looking for some workflow advice

I'm starting work on a project that has media coming from several different sources, and I'd like some workflow advice. I'm using the CS6 Production Premium suite on a Windows7 computer. My primary video source is a Canon XF-100 shooting 24/1080p MXF video, but I'll also be incorporating AVC-HD shots taken with a 60D, XA10, GoPro, and iPhone. So, here are my main questions:
1. Should I transcode or not? Most of the footage (at least 2/3rds or so) will be from the XF-100, which Premiere can edit natively. I'm inclined just to put the AVC-HD clips straight into an MXF-formatted project and let Premiere render them in the sequences as needed. But I'm also wondering if it would be better for overall quality and consistency to transcode everything into the same format before importing into the project and set the project to that format.
2. If I do transcode, what format? Should I just convert the AVC-HD stuff to MXF for use in an MXF-native project? Or should I convert everything to another format entirely?. If so, which one? (I'm thinking AVC-Intra 100 at 24/1080p, but I'm not sure.)
Any experienced sages out there want to offer their $0.02? Thanks in advance,
Stu

transcoding will not produce any better quality. you can actually degrade the quality in most cases, unless transcoding to raw. transcoding is usually done for proxy editing to allow for faster editing, or compatibility, if the original file cannot be read by the editing application. premiere pro usually handles mixed formats well, just make sure to either create the sequence from a clip that matches the destination format or create a sequence manually and specify the format that will be used for export.
if you do need to transcode to get some files to read, the avid dnxhd codec is a popular choice as it takes very little cpu and gpu resources to read. it has several quality options you can choose from, but it is limited to 1080p. if you transcode for faster editing (proxy editing), use dnxhd 36 8bit, and relink to the originals when done to keep their quality.

Looking for a pitch-shift plugin

I've learned from a recent thread that CS6 no longer supports "Stretch and Pitch" as an effect in Multitrack. This is very disappointing, as I have a slightly out of tune piano that I used to quickly and easily bring to correct pitch in multitrack sessions, using the 'pitch' part of "Stretch and Pitch". The effects rack now only offers "Automatic Pitch Correction" which of course doesn't offer a uniform pitch shift. Can anyone therefore recommend a quality third-party pitch-shift plug-in that I could use instead?

I agree it will be nice to have a pitch shifter back as a real-time effect, but can you tell me what the problem with the current clip-based pitch shift in the Stretch Properties? I'm genuinely curious to know if there's a problem as it uses iZotope Omega/Radius algorithms (depending on whether you've selected Realtime or Rendered) which I've found to be pretty accurate. It is a clip-level settings, but you can easily select all clips in a track and set this in the Properties panel simultaneously.

Looking for good orchestra plugins

Hi,
I am looking for good classical orchestra plugins (violins cellos etc...)
What are your suggestions ?
thanks

As soon as iS sees this, he'll chime in with his
faves...;)
My ears were burning.
I use bits and pieces from many different libraries. For me, there's no one library that has all the right textures, articulations, etc. for any one instrument.
I recently purchased the Kirk Hunter EXS24 library. Most of the brass, strings, and woodwinds are superb. The caveat here is that almost all samples were recorded in some kind of hall or soundstage, so as with other libraries that were sampled with ambience, it can sometimes be problematic if you're going after a dryer sound. Depending on the sound, careful tweaking of the release time can minimize that effect.
So yes, I endorse Kirk Hunter. Bang-for-buck quotient is great ($325).
GPO -- I use their woodwinds and harp, the occasional solo string sound, percussion (the xylophone and celeste are wonderful). But the strings are pathetic and the brass poor. Still, for $250 it's an astounding deal, and worth it for the woodwinds/harp alone. It's paid for itself 50x over.
A favorite for strings are Sonic Implants. My copy went through a Gigasampler -->EXS conversion and I love them to death.
EWQLSO are not a fave. I've heard good things about Gold though.
Vienna... I've never been impressed with any of their demos. Well crafted but flat and lifeless sounding. I think the fault is with the demos and not the actual samples. Anyway, a friend recently realized a part for me using some of their specialty brass sounds and it was exactly what the doctor ordered! One day I'll invest in VSL and add it to the arsenal.

How to search for std workflows

hi
what is the best way to search for std workflows in SAP. I tried the tcode SWDM( Business Workflow Explorer ) but it does not bring correct results.
can any one guide me on which is the best way to search for std workflows?
thanks
Sameer

Hi,
SWDM should yield the correct results, make sure you're defining your search correctly.
Another way is to look directly in table HRS1201 (I think, im not in an SAP environment now).
But here you also have to know the business objects related to the functional area where you are looking for standard workflows.
Another thing is to use the search functionality in SDN with your query ike "standard workflow for ..."
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Looking for a HAL mounting gkrellm plugin

Hi, I've decided to finally look into using HAL to mount/umount devices. So I commented out the entries for cdrom and all my other removable devices I've had in /etc/fstab and now I'm looking for an app that lets me mount and unmount the devices
My WM is fluxbox and so I'd prefer either a gkrellm plugin or a way to incorporate that into my menu.

I'd suggest you use halevt from aur.
You can add some mount device command to your menu if specific hal condition occures.
