Need advice on online cataloging system for images

I use Lightroom and love it's library system but need something similar in an online image cataloging system where I can place all my company images privately and have them accessed by other members of the company as and when they need them. I've been toying with the likes of Flickr but find it a bit of a pain to use. Does anyone have any advice as a good online option to use? Really struggling with googling!
Thanks

2. JDeveloper supports Serena Dimensions 9.1 - for a clarification of how PVCS relates to this you might want to contact the Serena guys.
3. Not currently. One option is to use Subversion and get it as an official product from:

    Hello,
    That means it can find the Hard Drive, or can't find the things needed for booting.
    See if DU even sees it.
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.

  • Online Help System for Web Apps

    Hi all,
    Does anyone know a good and free online help system for Java webapps, I've tried Oracle Help for the Web and it's nice, except that it won't run on WebSphere v5.1 (which is a requirement).
    Thank you,

    Hi Len
    Basically it's like this. WebHelp is nothing more than a collection of HTML pages that each contain different "Topics". This means that each page has a unique URL which may be used to view it. Normally, WebHelp is presented with the surrounding frameset (also known as the Skin) and the Topic is shown in the Topic pane of the Frameset.
    What Jeff has shown is what you might get if you just link to the URL of the topic. I say *MIGHT* because whether you see the "Show" link is configurable and you can generate WebHelp where it's not factored in.
    So you have many options of linking to your help. You can link to a single topic where only that topic appears. You can link to the WebHelp generically and the end user finds their own way to the information they are looking for. You can link to a Bookmarked location inside a topic either on its own or within the frameset. And if you are using the WebHelp API, you can specify your own Window that will be used. Otherwise, your developer can create the window using their own means.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Need Expert advice on choosing Source System for creating/maint Customers.

    Hi Experts,
    Iam on project where we have CRM,ECC(SD),FICA in the System Landscape.The client is currently using ECC(SD) Customer master for creating/maintainig Customer's.As we have CRM & FICA in this implementation, we are planning to propose that we use CRM as the source system for creating/maintaing Customers as Business Partners & Perform standard replication to the other system's in the landscape.
    The client has has asked us to confirm if having CRM as the source is the Best practice in the industry when we have this three systems (CRM,FICA,ECC(SD)) Landscape.I thought to get some expert advice on this & see if any of you have a similar project experience & share some views on this CRM BP vs ECC(SD) Customer Master.
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    Naveen

    Hi,
       I believe it depends on your business senario.Here I can share some my experience for you.
    CRM As Source System
    Advantage:
    1) Choosing CRM as source system ,you can create several roles of customer for tracking the presales process of customer,such as prospect ,sold to party ,customers ,also you can define the life cycle of your customer and control which life cycle of customer should be replicated to ECC and which one should not.
    2)  CRM can have more views of customer and customer defined field (EEWB fields) ,so if you choose CRM as Source it will be more convenient  to create and fill in the all your user defined field .In other words ,choosing ECC as source you have to extend these field again in CRM .
    3) easy to maintain customer relationship
    Disadvantages:
    1) Have to extend Company code view of Customer data, since CRM do not have these view ,it is  just used for billing and integration with financial accounts.
    2)  have to extend some particular partner function of customer ,it is because of CRM it is only possible to create part of partner function automatically like SP ,BP  when business partner  is replicating to ECC.
    ECC As the source
    Oppositely, if you choose ECC as the source ,the advantage become disadvantage.
    Advantage :
    1) Can Easily to create customer's data of company code view
    2)  Can easily to assign any partner function to customer
    To conclude, if you only need to create sales order in ECC ,I believe choosing ECC as Lead system is better, since you do not have to extend customer data and easily to integrate with FICO and SD.Howerver, if you are going to create a sales order from opportunity or quotation ,CRM is your best choice.

    The Studio XPS 9100 is 19.4 inches high by 7.8 inches wide by 20.7 inches deep. It weighs about 40 pounds. A 525-watt power supply powers the computer.
    I use Audition, Premiere Pro and After Effects (Dynamic Link) to edit concerts filmed on 4 HD Camera's (m2ts x3 and mp4) I also take and mix 6-8 tracks from soundboard and mix in audition. I find my system is struggling to keep up when I have done some color correction and then try to cut in multi-cam mode. My graphics card does not support CUDA and as stated above my system only has a 525w power supply. So a GeForce GTX 470, 570, 580 would not be compatable. I do not GAME but I work with large HD files (4 angles, 1-2 hours each, audio & effects).
    My trouble is I don't know which one of the graffics cards that support Mercury play back, would be the best for my needs without having to upgrade my power source (if possable). I'm thinking a mid level card and another 8-12 ram upgrade would be more suited (and cheaper) to my needs, unless I'm going to need a power upgrade anyway. If someone could please let me know what card would help me with my worload of these that would be great! I guess what Im saying is can someone tell me which of these is compatable with my system and is it worth it for the change in performance I will see?

When I look at the 570 in comparison  to what I have it doesnt look as though itis going to make too much difference. http://www.hwcompare.com/9048/geforce-gtx-570-vs-radeon-hd-5870/ I'm sure however the CUDA cores will speed it right up. I'm no good when it comes to all that so thanks to both you for the help. I have tracked down a 670 in stock (seems tough) for $440 then I need a 700 w power supply for about 70. If the 570 should take care of the problems listed above thats what I'm going for.. Just wasnt sure if it would make the needed difference

  • Need advice in writing forum component for a GUI application

    Hello,
    I need to write a forum component for a GUI application, that is a visual component that would have all the usual forum functionality - creating threads, posting replies, editing, logging in, etc. I'm planning to use some existing forum engine on a JBoss/Tomcat server. So I do not need a web-interface for a forum, but I need find some engine written in java with a clear interface that I could use in my app. I tried JForum (http://www.jforum.net) first, but it seems it doesn't have open API I could utilize.
    Could anyone please suggest appropriate engine, possibly anyone knows of open-source forum GUI apps I can look at?

  • Need advice on creating 2nd account for child

    Hi,
    I have an iTunes account on my single user Mac that I've been using for years. My son just got an iPod and I want to set up an account for him to be able to download music, movies, apps etc for his use. Is this possible with only a single user account system or do I need to set up a login account for him too? I want to be able to set limits for him too like dollar limits per month, movie rating limits (PG) etc. I see where I can set rating limits for my account but I don't see how those will change when he uses the system.
    Any advice will be appreciated.

    I would suggest you set him up his own user account in Mac OS X. That will be a lot less fuss, and you can use the Parental Controls in Mac OS X and iTunes in his account to control what he can access without having to limit your own use.
    To give him a dollar limit in the iTunes Store, set him up his own iTunes Store account and either buy him prepaid iTunes cards or gift certificates or set him up an allowance. For more information on these options, see:

  • Need advice on Hardware & Disk Setup for Premiere Pro CS6

    I am about to purchase a Mac Pro and after reading threads on hardware requirements & different disk setups I am still a little unsure which way to go. If someone could point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
    Firstly this system will be used primarily for the following tasks: Editing AVCHD media (Sony HDR-XR550) and burning to disk with light editing, Creating Web Videos from AVCHD Media, editing images in Ps & Lr. This is strictly a hobby for me and I will also use the machice for some light AutoCad work.
    The current system specs are as follows:
    3.33GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processor, 16GB (4x4GB) RAM, Bay 1: 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s, Bay 2: 512GB SSD, Bay 3: 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s, Bay 4: 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s, ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB, Two 18x SuperDrives.
    My questions are:
    1.     Reading the thread on Generic Guidelines for Disk Setup I plan to use the 4 Disk setup described. If I only have 1 SSD, should I make it C: D: E: or F:? My priority would be the editing speed rather than the exporting speed.
    2.     If I can stretch my budget to include another SSD then again, should I make it C: D: E: or F:?
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

  • Need advice on how to export ALL images including any changes (Versions)

    I have well over 15000 RAW ORF Olympus images in Aperture with approximately 10000 of them in the database and the rest as references to the file on the file system.
    My problem is 'many' fold...
    First I am frustrated with using Aperture only because it doesn't seem to perform well anymore either because I have too many files, the database is corrupted, DB IO is slow... I don't know but its not performing as it did when I started using it and I don't know what to do to fix it... so with that said here are a few options I am pursuing and the problems I am having doing so.
    I am moving to Adobe Bridge and Photoshop CS4, however with most of the files in the Aperture database I need to have them exported... however the only options are Master and or Version, which is frustrating because if I choose Master I get the original RAW file less all the changes done to any versions and if I choose the version I get customized JPEG's less the RAW master file. huh! I would like if possible some other options but I can understand if they don't exist.
    1. One option would be to get all the masters (which I can do now) but only if they are in the database and not referenced.
    2. Second option only would be to get all the versions if the RAW was modified and not export a version for a selected image if it does not exist.
    3. Third, have some way to only selected actual modified version images and not every image in a folder or in the database.
    4. Export to Photoshop .psd format with layers instead of versions?
    5. Filter by files in the database and files that are referenced.
    6. ... I'm open to other suggestions.
    Is there a way to move all the database files back to file referenced to shrink the Database or do I need to export everything and then re-import them as references?
    The export process for so many files is killing me as its taking me days and days and I have no way to cross check to ensure all the files and versions are retained when exported - I'm not sure what I have or how to rebuild them in Aperture at a later time once exported?
    I am exporting the sidecar file with every image but am not sure the value or significances of this file - can this file help when moving to Photoshop/Bridge?
    BTW. Another reason I wish to move from having Aperture manage my files in its database is I have now lost a few hundred unrecoverable pictures for no known reason in aperture, once after a trap as I was processing a image, I lost all of my sisters funeral shots - so so sad.
    Help!!!

    Something is very very very wrong - 15,000 images are nothing, unless you have them all in one project. I have 300,000+ with no issues in performance. Another indicator is days to export 15,000. Don't blame Aperture - you have a giant problem.
    I am not going to address how to do what you want exactly because I do not have the time but here are some hints -
    You can search for adjusted versions, and you can search for managed vs. referenced (file status). You may want to think about using relocate master with some clever subfolder options/selections to put all of you original masters and any external edited masters (PSD, etc) into a nice neat hierarchy for you to browse via bridge - Aperture is fantastic at reorganizing directory structures via relocate masters.
    There is no way to export adustments+RAW that Photoshop can interpret. If you want the Aperture non-destructive adjustments you must export versions end of story.
    Personally I would figure out why you are having such issues with Performance - there is a cause and it will probably give you issues no matter what you are using down the road.

  • Need advice on Exporting a clip of images!

    Hi there guys,
    I got a bunch of high resolution Images (1920x1440 pixels) from which i need to make a high-quality 3-minute clip,
    not bigger than 30 Mega in size. The frame of the clip doesn't have to be huge, 800x600 is good enough.
    Well i'm trying to export the project as F4V, but i can't get a clean output in excellent quality...:-(
    Can anyone help me out in some insight on the best options...maybe F4V isn't the right one? tried MOV but
    files are huge!
    I'd be grateful for any tips and advice...
    Thanks!!

    Your design looks reasonable to me. It's important to connect devices to different members of the stack like you did.
    By looking at your diagram I'm not sure if you meant that each ASA has its own Portchannel or not. If you run active/standby scenario I believe you need one Portchannel per ASA.

  • Need advice on storing configuration variables for use by FP2000 Controller for embedded application.

    I am creating 8 machines that generally operate in the same way and each will be controlled using a FP-2000 controller. The only difference between the machines is a set of scaling constants and pass values for determining if the machine completed its process successfully.
    In the past, using an idependent PC and Labview, I have created a configuration.vi for writing the constants and configuration variables to a data file on my hard drive. Then in the auto.vi I read(only once each time the program is started) the file and store the data in the program. I would like to do something similar with this system but am not familar with the Field Point system.
    I know i
    t is probably not difficult to store the data to the host computer and transfer it to the modules but I am better off writing to the modules once and storing the data onboard the FP controller for use by an embedded application. This way, if the network connection is lost for any reason, the machine can still operate. Is this possible, and if not what do you suggest in order to prevent being so reliant on the host computer?
    Thank you for your help.

    Mike,
    There are a number of ways to accomplish what you desire. The easiest is to continue doing what you are already doing. The FP-20xx series modules treat their flash memory as if it was a hard drive, so the file I/O VI's in LabVIEW work just the same in a FP-20xx as on a regular computer running LabVIEW. The primary variation will be in how you write the files over the network. Since mapping network drives is more of a Windows functionality, you can not simply have a VI running on your host computer use a File I/O VI to write to a FP-20xx. Instead, what you will need to do is to write the file to you local drive and then FTP (file transfer protocol) the VI to the FP-20xx module. This can be done using the LabVIEW Internet toolkit or any 3rd party FTP util
    ity. One word of advice; the OS on the FP-20xx does not support long filenames but due to a problem in the FTP server, long filenames (non 8.3 compliant) may be uploaded and once there, you will be unable to access the file again, even to delete it.
    An alternative method that I have seen used is to use a global VI and write to it from the host machine through the use of VI server. You can then have the program on-board the FP-20xx save the globals to your configuration file.
    Regards,
    Aaron

  • Need advice on a strong laptop for playing/ recording music / .wav files

    I primarily use my laptop for music and enjoy making .wav files and hooking up to main stereo of house.  I've been experimenting with my daughter's laptop but I had to buy a sound card that attaches to the laptop.  Are there any good laptops out there with a good enough sound card available internally?  On my desktop I had a similar problem and needed to upgrade sound card to get the "what U hear" option.

    Most newer laptops have pretty good playback quality, and also most have optical digital audio outputs if you have a surround receiver with digital in.
    Recording is a different story.  In general, almost no system will have good internal recording capability, even with an internal addon card.  Recording is best done with an external device.
    You are confusing TOSLINK optical ouputs with digital coax outputs which are what they normally put on multi-media desktops to provide digital audio output though some older desktops did have TOSLINK ports. There was a period of time several years ago when you might find TOSLINK on a high-end multi-media notebook but digital coax was the standard in those days and that has obviously been replaced by HDMI which carries both digital audio and video signals.
    In my experience, when it comes to laptops, HDMI will produce no sound. I too have seen a handful of laptops that support TOSLINK in the form of a 3.5mm connector, and even the standard sqare connector(not common, however).
    If you aren't getting sound from your HDMI port that means your digital audio output is incorrectly configured, the digital audio signal is not in a format that your HDTV or display can recognize (simply uncheck the Dolby Digital, DTS, or WMA Pro boxes in the properties panel for your digital audio output), or the port on your display doesn't accept digital audio or is set to use analog audio in the settings. If you look in your TV's manual or dig up the manual online, the specs page will tell you what digital audio formats it accepts if any. A lot of older HDTVs with HDMI, as well as a lot of the first monitors with it, didn't accept digital audio over HDMI because they were using repurposed DVI chipsets which could be modified for use with HDMI by swapping out the DVI connector with an HDMI jack due to the fact that HDMI shares it's base video protocols with DVI. All it takes is fifteen seconds to figure it out if you know what you're doing.
    Ya, a mere few hours after I made that post, a friend hooked up his newer laptop to my TV via HDMI, and sure enough...there was sound. Me stands corrected.

  • Newbie needs tips on Mac RAID systems for DAM

    Hi group wondering if anyone would mind sharing their knowledge, I am researching DAM for a client of mine I own a digital tech business (photography connected front and back end) I have been asked to provide DAM services off site for a photographer/video director. He has about 10 terabytes and would like me to have a T1 line, off site back up, and web access for himself and his clients to their respective files as well me having the adm. privileges if of a problem with any of his clients. He already told me I will be needing to hire an IT person so if any of you have experience in this arena and are near LAX in Ca. send an email to me at info at ladigitaltech.com If anyone has any tips other than the classes via apple or the two 10.4 books on listed on another post I'd love to hear from you. This might be a too daunting of task since I am not an IT person at all and I do not know Apache, or much web related code. I have already figured it will cost around 18k to get this going, but I would love to hear from you online or offline. Thank you to all who can reply best David

    I can't address all your points but off the top of my head I would place the very base hardware price tag at a minimum of $30K plus infrastructure, back-up and T1 installation and costs. Since a fully loaded XRAID holds 7TB to support 10 TB you will need _at least_ 1 fully loaded XRAID and another half of one. And that point you might as well go with 2 fully loaded and do RAID 5 to get redundancy - but that doesn't leave you much expansion room. You will also an Xserve to run web, ftp and share the files - that's 2x 13K and 1x 4K (at least) so that's $30,000 without even trying and you're very close to the limitations of your storage. If he wants to add another 2TB of images you're committed to more hardware. And reliable back-up of these kinds of file sizes is not a simple matter or cheap either. You might be able to get away with a 7 tape loader Magnum or something but to do it right the 21 tape 221 LTO FC will require a fibre channel switch at 5K and is another $16K and $3K in tape costs just to get started.
    I would place a spitball estimate of this project at a minimum raw cost of $60-65K and then you have service contracts, IT, programming and continuing tape costs - and in there somewhere I suspect you want to make some money too. I think the first thing you need to do is find a reliable IT guy to cost out a reliable estimate for you that includes both up front and continuing costs and then you would need to mark-up and pad that estimate until you feel confident you will make a profit on all this and pass that onto your client.
    Tread carefully before committing to anything without taking this step.
    Good luck,

  • Need advice on what to look for when buying an external HD

    Hello iBook enthusiasts,
    I want to buy an external HD for backing up my important documents, and for having a way of booting up just in case the iBook should fail. I have searched some of the old posts, but I am still a bit confused.
    So far, it seems that the most important criterion is that the drive have FireWire in order to be bootable.
    I don't want to spend a ton of money. Somehow, I get these emails from Buy.com, advertising their specials. For example, they had a 250G one for $100 (although that particular deal is now expired). This seems like a good deal to me. Is that right? Should I try to buy the largest or smallest one that's in my price range? If iBook does die, I would like to still be able to use the HD with whatever replacement I get.
    Also, is there any particular brand that I should either look for or avoid? How do I know these things?
    Anyway, sorry these questions are so vague. Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Anna:
    Yes, rule no. 1, Firewire or FW/USB
    2. Largest HDD you can afford (having more space than you need it not a problem; needing more space than you have, is.)
    3. 7200 rpms. (Most of them are, but not all)
    Here is a list of some of the best buys already sorted for 200-300 GB.
    Different folks like different manufacturers. I have had my LaCie for 2 years. No problems. I like it for it's compact size and elegance.
    Here are some good hints from Dr. Smoke on Backup and Recovery. Instead of Retropect, which I could never quite figure out, I use Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper.
    Post back with further questions or comments.
    Good luck.
