Meaning of Calibration Numbers (Exposure)

In development mode, when I move the slider, a white number changes to the right of the slider. In fact there are numbers to the right of all the controls. I've read a number of books on Lightroom, but have not seen an explanation of what these scales are. One book, did speak in terms of camera stops when referring to exposure--is that what this number represents? So does 1.33 equals 1.33 stops of increased exposure (when the slider is moved to the right)?
What about all the other controls? Is there are resource that explains these metrics?
Thanks
Jack Siegel

The exposure control is measured in stops (or at least the equivalent of stops, it doesn't actually change the "real" exposure, just pushes it to the left or right) you can see the effect on the histogram , the others go from 1 to 100 and are just the least to the most the effect can have so basically a percentage of the total amount of the effect.

How / where can I learn the meaning of the numbers and letters associated with each camera model?

Also meaning of camera model names such as PowerShot, EOS, etc.
Thanks!

The Powershot series are all point & shoot cameras. The letter prefer in the model number is a class within the point & shoot category. The "G" series Powershots, for example, are advanced point & shoot bodies and somewhat high end considering they are point & shoot cameras (they're often the second camera that a DSLR owner will use they're going somewhere that a DSLR is either not permitted or simply not practical. I had to travel for a busines trip recently and I had room in my bag to throw my G1 X in... but not room for my larger DSLRs and large lenses.
The EOS bodies are all SLR or DSLR (SLR = single lens reflex camera and without that letter "D" on the front it implies it's a "film" camera. With the letter D it's a "digital" camera. Canon does not make a "film" SLR anymore -- so that's really a historical note to mention the "SLR" category.)
Within the EOS system, you could break the system into roughly three major groupings... entry, mid-level, and pro.
All "Rebel" series bodies are entry level. Note that "entry" level for a DSLR is still a world ahead of point & shoots -- so don't think of these as low-end cameras. In terms of model numbers, in North America, Canon uses a letter/number/suffix combination. Currently all Rebel bodies start with "T". The first was the T1i, then T2i, T3i (and T3 without the "i" suffix), T4i, T5i, (and T5 without the "i" suffix), T6i, and T6s. Higher numbers are more recent models (the T6i and T6s were just introduced a few weeks ago.) If there is no suffix then it's a more basic model. The "i" denotes the higher end of the entry range. But recently Canon introduced the T6s which is the highest end Rebel model and has some features previously only found in mid-level models.
The Rebels include "scene" based shoting modes commonly found on point & shoots in addition to the more advanced shooting modes which are (by far) the most popular among DSLR shooters. Part of the whole point of buying a DSLR is the incredible boost in image quality you get when you get a camera out of automatic mode, take control of the exposure settings, and use a larger lens and sensor.
The Canon mid-level EOS cameras all have 2 numbers followed by the "D" suffix. E.g. 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D, 60D, and 70D (currently only the 60D & 70D are still produced.) These bodies introduce features found on the pro-level bodies (like the 2nd LCD display on top, extra direct-setting buttons so you don't have to navigate menus, and a 2nd large control dial on the rear) but still retain the entry level features like the "scene" based sooting modes that beginners might use.
The high-level bodies have just one number digit, like 1D, 5D, 6D, and 7D. But when Canon needs to create a newer version they can't really increase that numberic digit... so instead they rev the model by calling it a "Mark II", "Mark III", "Mark IV". etc. So it's not really the "5D" these days... it's the 5D Mark III (or simply 5D III). The 1D is now the 1D X. The 7D is now the 7D II.
A few odd things happen in this category... first, all of these bodies with the exception of the 7D II get "full frame" sensors. This is a rather large image sensor which is the same size as a single frame of 35mm film. It measures roughly 36m wide by 24mm tall. The entry and mid-level cameras all have "APS-C" size sensors which measures approximately 22mm wide by about 15mm tall (which is very large compared to what a point & shoot camera would have, but not as big as these full-frame sensors.) When you look at images that have a tack-sharp subject... and yet a beautifully soft out-of-focus background... that requries a large sensor to produce that result. You can not get that result with a point & shoot or camera phone.
The 7D II still has an APS-C sensor, but it's the best APS-C sensor can makes today. That camera body is heavily optimized for fast-action photography (the 1D X is also optimized for very fast action shooting and outperforms the 7D II -- but the 1D X is Canon's "flagship" camera -- so no surprise there.)
The 6D also stands out as that was introduced to be an "entry level" "full-frame" body. Prior to the 6D, all entry level cameras were basically about $2500 or more (for the body only). This is a full-frame camera for about $1800 (body only price -- that does not include a lens.)
Incidentally... these pro level bodies finally drop the "scene" based shooting modes that beginner's might use. They almost might have particularly advanced focusing systems that might even be a bit intimidating for beginners (except for the 6D as that's a bit of an exception. It's actually considered an "entry level" full-frame camera.
With the exception of the 6D, I would shy away from recommending Canon's high-end bodies for beginners. I've found the focus system alone can be intimidating for people and you really do have to dedicate some time to learning the system. If you don't take the time to learn the system, then you're really wasting your money because these cameras are amazing IF (and only if) you take the time to learn what they can do that other cameras cannot do... and learn when, why, and how to exploit those advantages. It wont just happpen without some effort on the part of the photographer.)

Pictures too dark - not a monitor calibration problem

I believe this is some kind of color space or EXIF data issue I'm having. The jist of it is this: if I view one of my pictures (they're in jpg format) in Windows Explorer, they look fine. But when Lightroom opens the picture or displays it in the library, it looks too dark. (Important note: this is not a monitor calibration issue. Searching on Google reveals tons of advice along these lines, but that's not what's happening here. Lightroom is simply displaying things differently than anything else.)
Photoshop had this problem also, but Adobe supplied a patch that made Photoshop ignore the color space EXIF data so my pictures would display "correctly". There does not seem to be any such equivalent fix for Lightroom. I'm using Windows XP - perhaps there's something I can do in the OS to fix this issue? I believe most of my pictures are sRGB.
How do I get Lightroom to display my pictures correctly? They are, of course, impossible to edit while they display like this. Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks for the responses. I freely admit I don't understand color management. I also admit I have not calibrated my monitor. I know, therefore, that my colors are not perfectly synchronized across all my devices - and I'm fine with that for the moment, because they are close enough. What comes out of my camera, what is displayed on my monitor, and what comes out of my printer are all pretty close. I will calibrate soon and get even closer, but for now perfect color isn't my chief concern.
My problem is not that the colors don't match, it's that the pictures are too dark when displayed in Lightroom. By "too dark", I mean several stops of exposure too dark. A picture will display a certain way on my camera and in Windows, and the histogram reflects this. Then I load it into Lightroom, and while the histogram looks the same of course, the picture itself is being displayed like I took it at night. Hence, as far as I can tell, it's not a monitor calibration issue. If I were to calibrate the monitor to display the pictures in Lightroom correctly, everything else would look too bright, wouldn't it? Including Lightroom itself. Besides, it wouldn't be possible to brighten my monitor to the point that the pictures looked acceptable - that's how dark they are.
Here's another clue: if I'm at work, and I RDP to my PC at home, and open Lightroom in the RDP session, everything looks great. So, I'm thinking it's a Windows color space issue of some kind. The question is, since I admit I don't know much about color space, what might be the problem and how might I fix it?
So to summarize: incorrect color calibration isn't my problem (though I know it's something I have to do if I ever want to perfectly match output on my monitor and printer). The colors across all my devices are close enough for my purposes. Incorrect color isn't my problem at all. The problem is that Lightroom on my PC displays pictures as if most of the histogram was on the left, even when that's not the case. The pictures in Lightroom look nothing like they look on my camera, in Windows Explorer, or when printed on my printer. Why is that, and what can I do to fix it? Thanks.

How to add serial number contolled item with serial numbers in sales order.

Hi OM Functional Experts,
I need a help on sales order booking.
We have serial controlled items in our inventory. At the time of booking a sales order, we need to call the items with the appropriate serial numbers [ for example, if i book an item for a qty of 10, then, the system should get the details ( serial number ) of the 10 item's serial number ].
And the serial numbers are Pre-defined by the organization for their internal tracking from the porcess 1 till end of the assembly line.
The purpose of this step, is to reduce the particular serial numbered item from the inventory, when we reserve/pick release the sales order.
thanks in advance.
Rdx,

OK. Unfortunately reservations cannot be created at the serial number level. So the unsupported way of doing this is updating the mtl_serial_numbers tables. I hope you would know (by some means) which serial numbers you want to allocate to a specific sales orders. If you know, update group_mark_id column in mtl_serial_numbers table with your order_line_Id, This will avoid any one from picking the serial numbers (they will not come up in the LOV or will not be auto allocated).
But you have to make sure to take it off when you actually want to pick this order line and allocate this serial number. So just before you pick release/ confirm this order line you need to update column back to null so that you can allocate that serial number.

Creation of function module to convert the mean value to charecterformat

hi every body
i have one doubt regarding convertion of meanvalue to integer value.
first of all i took all related values to internal table but inthat internal table the value of MITTELWERT feild is mean value.inthat the feild value tobe stored is 9.9000000000000000E+01 but the actual value is 99.
in that field i stored even a date and charecter data also .so i need to convert that format to charecter format.

How to calculate the mean of a section of an array?

hello
i have an array of 26 elements.some sections of it are all zeros and some others are numbered. i want to be able to find the mean of the numbered sections and replace those values. an example 0,0,0,0,0,2,3,4,6,5,7,8,0,0,0,9,8,7,4,0,0,0.....and i want to be able to get it as in 0,0,0,0,0,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,0,0,0,7,7,7,7,0,0,0....
i know you can do it "kinda" manually with the array subset vi. but i want to find a more correct way to do this.can anybody help me on this?
i have attached the array with the actual numbers if it will save you 2 minutes of your time by generating another one
cheers

Here's an alternative solution (LV 8.0) that uses fewer shift registers and has only one case structure. Se if it makes more sense to you.
Notice that Dr.Ivels solution is incorrect if the array starts with a nonzero segment (e.g. 4,5,0,0,0,0,...), or ends with a nonzero segment (e.g. ...0,0,0,7,8). It would need to be tweaked a bit for correct operations under these conditions.
Please verify correct operations, I haven't fully tested my solution either with pathological data, but it seems to work correctly in the above cases.

Automatic numbering - not with actual page number

I am doing a book that has aboubt 20 pages and then about 100 with recipes. I want to have a heading with Day 1, Day 2, Day3. I will be appying a master page to the recipes, but I want to do an automatic day number. If I do the insert page it labels it to the actual page number. Any way I can do this? CS4

You can set any starting page number you like, in the Pages panel under "Sections and Numbering".
InDesign will complain if you already have pages numbered "1", "2", "3" (and you probably have, since you didn't know how to change the page numbering). It's correct in complaining too, because what page should it print if you type in "1" in the Print Dialog? Two further options, here: use absolute numbering (which is the real, actual page n in your document, irregardless of what it shows as "the" page number); or set the initial part of your text to be numbered in Roman numerals, so they count "i", "ii", "iii", and your Days will be numbered as usual. (Uh, with that I mean the page numbers.) Changing the numbering to Roman is also in the Pages panel menu.

How do i find out what numbers i have included on the find my phone app?

how do i find out what numbers i have included on the find my phone app?

Sorry, but what do you mean by "what numbers I have included"? Find My iPhone doesn't store nor go by phone numbers, if that's what you're referring to. It's done by the Apple ID you used to set up Find My iPhone on the device you wish to track, and the devices will be shown by name.
You may need to explain further what it is you're asking or are trying to accomplish.

Ppi in preflight... what's the fraction mean?

Most of the time in preflighting pdfs we get perfectly readable results on resolution such as 300 ppi, but once in a while a pdf gives results for specific images or slices of images with an unfathomable number like 6826.0864/13.186 ppi. Obviously there's a problem with the resolution, but I'm not sure what to make of that number or how to correctly explain to the client what's wrong with the file.

Bump. I don't suppose anyone has any ideas on this? It seems the meaning of those numbers should be documented somewhere, but I haven't been able to track it down.

How can serial numbers be produced during creating production orders???

In our company，the basic manufacture process are as follows:
1.CO01 Create production order
2 MB1A Goods issue to production order
3 CO11N Produciton order confirmation
4 MB1A Goods Receive
For some finished product with serial number management, when doing MB1A goods receive ,we
will input the serial numbers into the SAP for the first time.That means the serial numbers
was produced when doing MB1A.
But for some reasons,we wish when we create a production order,the serial numbers can be
produced for the finished product.That means we will release a production order,the serial
numbers can be produced for the finished product of the production order,can be auto
produced or by input manually.
We do not want the the serial numbers to input into the SAP until doing MB1A.
What can we do to produce the the serial numbers for the first time after release a
production order?
How can serial numbers be produced during creating production orders?
Thanks very much for any reply!!

You should configure the SN profile to allow that the order can be released w/o SN;
but... for the other issues, we have used and user exit that - after saving the order - generates a SN according to a given logic.
We could not fina dan easy way of creating the SN after relasing the order or when doing the GI.

I need help with a formula for Numbers.

I keep getting a syntax error when I type this in...
=(B1/50)+(C1/12)-(MIN(D1, [4])+/5)
it is a formula to calculate weight watches points. here it is as seen on a website.
p=(c/50)+(f/12)-(min{r,4}/5)
p=points
c=calories
f=fat grams
r=dietary fiber
I have the cells so that b1 = calories, c1 = fat grams, and d1 = dietary fiber.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm thinking its just a simple mistake that I am making. Thanks.

toppu2020 wrote:
=(B1/50)+(C1/12)-(MIN(D1, [4])+/5)
the [4] item means nothing for Numbers.
My guess is that the formula is trying to get the minimal value in the duo D1 and 4
so you may try:
=(B1/50)+(C1/12)-(MIN(D1,4)/5)

What does mean this....

My power supply says:
+3.3V/22A +5V/32A +12V/16A
What does mean the other numbers? and which is the best number?¿

A computer Power supply provides power to the PC.
The PC operates on different voltages, +3.3v, +5v, +12v and even -12v and -5v.
An axample would be a CD drive may require 12V and a floppy drive may only need 5v.
Think of the power supply as a combination of different batteries.
The second part to your numbers is the Current ratings. As each voltage is separate from the other voltages they all have their own Current rating.
So in your power supply the +3.3v battery/(known as rail) can only provide 22Amps, the +5v rail can only provide 32Amps.
To understand how voltage and current are related you need to know a bit about electricity.
Voltage = current X resistance. Power = Voltage x Current.
Now if a cd drive in your PC required +5v and 16Amps, how many could you have?
The answer is 2, provided they are the same as different CD drives have different specifications.
So if you put 3 of these CD drives in your PC what would happen?
Your power supply will try to provide +5V to all of them and 48Amps (16x3) but this is too much POWER for your power supply to provide, the result is smoke and your power supply will burn.
This applies to all the Voltage rails in the power supply. Therefore the higher the Current rating per Voltage rail, the better the power supply as it can handle more devices which means provide more POWER.
So just incase you are still confused,
The power supply is a combination of batteries, 6 in total. Batteries known as rails.
+3.3v, +5v, +12v, -5V, -12V, +5vsb
Each battery has a Current rating.
The more current a voltage rail can provide, the better the power supply.
Finally incase you thought this, The batteries are always the 6 values I stated as it is a power supply specification, manufacturers try to get their power supply to match these Voltage values.
Now numbers mean something

Problems with RAW - HELP!

Hi there,
I really hope someone can help me. I just got aperture. RAW files look bad on my mac. They have this oversaturated look. I use my nikon D70 to take RAW + JPEG and the jpeg looks good. BTW, it's the same problem in iPhoto. I uploaded converted jpeg of each the pictures:
JPEG: http://picasaweb.google.com/itai123/RawProblem/photo#4956805354384654354

Thank you in advance for any help you provide, this is frustrating

Eduardo is correct to point out that the jpeg has already been processed by the camera. The jpeg file is a derivative of the RAW file so any information it displays has to be present in the RAW file.
The jpeg file conversion is chosen by the manufacturer of the sensor/camera and it will be a compromise for the best image that can be obtained because it will have to drop quite a lot of detail data to arrive at the processed file.
The RAW files will all need sharpening and possibly some exposure compensation, colour temperature adjustment and compensation for chromatic aberrations too. Unless you are prepared to make those adjustments to the RAW data, you will always have this issue.
Issues of colour are usually about device calibration. The monitor will only display images in the colour space it is set up for. This is usally insufficient to get a good correlation between the image file aqs displayed and the output file as printed. The answer is to calibrate all of your input, display and output devices.
At the minimum, this means colour calibrating your camera for several different light sources, your display for several different light ssources and your output file for whichever printer and paper combination you use. In truth, if you work to process your images by the numbers, it does not matter what your display shows you but you need to work in a way that does not rely on the screen display. It only converts images to the display space and the display colour space has no effect on the output colour space.
What does matter is trying to cram the information from a 16bit colour space into that of an 8bit colour space as in the case of RAW to jpeg conversions. You will be losing colour information and with it you will lose some image detail.
Tell me what icc profile setting your display shows... go to display preferences > color > make sure that the checkbox for "show profiles for this display only" is checked and then read off the display profile that is in use (it will be highlighted and there may be a choice of two or three different profiles)
