New Features of BPC 7.5 MS over BPC 7.0 MS

How can I find documentation on the enhancements or fixes that are released with BPC 7.5 MS.  We are currently using BPC 7.0 MS.
Sorry for the basic navigation question.

Steven - See the following SAP Notes for bug fixes and features.  SP3 is the first release Generally Available to customers.
You can also search for notes using EPM-BPC-MS as the product code and Patch as the search term for a full list of patches and bug fixes - that might give you the original 7.5 M and SP 1 and 2.
Patch    Date          Title                                                                     Note

  • IOS4. Over 100 new features?

    Can someone point me to more list of new features as highlighted by Apple. As I can only visibly see less than 10. Also, don't give me the explanation that most features are available only on the iPhone 4

    Here is a link to the appadvice change-log with a few of the new features in iOS4 listed:

  • Follow-up to archived thread "Another Error (I think) In the 12.1 New Features Guide"

    I hoped to be able to add a reply to the most recent reply on March 8 in the "Another Error (I think) In the 12.1 New Features Guide" thread (https://community.oracle.com/thread/3526588), but since that thread has been archived, I am doing what was suggested elsewhere: create a new thread referencing the old one. My reply is:
    Thank you for your explanation about preferring PDF over HTML. That is perfectly fine and understandable. Also, we very much appreciate your documentation feedback in this forum, and encourage you to continue to report any issues here.
    I apologize for not replying much sooner. I either didn't get or overlooked an original notification about "Recent activity" after your reply; otherwise, I would have replied then.

    Thanks for that comment. I have sent a pointer to it to the writer for that book. Note that with the New Features Guide, most of the content is automatically drawn from an internal system that tracks projects and features; so if a change is needed, the writer will notify the owner of that content (typically a developer or a product manager) to investigate and (if necessary) modify the underlying data, after which the changed information will be picked up for a future revision of the book.
    Also, while anyone is welcome to enter documentation comments in this forum, another option that may be more convenient for comments on specific sections is the Reader Comment area at the bottom of each HTML page (such as http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/server.121/e17906/chapter1.htm#NEWFT495 for the page containing Section 1.5.9.8). Any comments entered in a Reader Comment area go to someone in our documentation production group, who forwards them to the appropriate writers.
    However, if a comment involves multiple HTML pages or books, or if you want the matter to be in a public forum for visibility and searchability, posting in this forum is a good option.

  • New Features and Improvements for CS6

    IMPORTANT:
    By default, Photoshop comes with the Proofing Colors (Cmd/Ctrl+Y) activated and set to CMYK. Adobe must warn about that, because I was editing a large amount of pictures for work and I was doing it under that color profile/work space.
    LAYERS PANEL:
    Layer Adjustments:
    Solid Color: visual feedback in real time.
    Gradient: IDEM as above.
    Pattern: IDEM as above.
    Gradient Map: IDEM as above.
    Gradient Editor: IDEM as above.
    Opacity and Fill: IDEM as above.
    Curves and Levels: Ability to load alfa channels. This way, the adjustments made on the alfa channel won't be destructive.
    CHANNELS PANEL:
    Channel Luminosity Selection:
    Ability to add and subtract from the selection.
    Ability to designate an area to be selected.
    For point 1, by using the shortcut Cmd+Alt+[number] the luminosity of a channel is loaded as selection. With Cmd+Alt+Shift+[number], the selection grows. But there is no way to subtract from selection (unless by clicking with the mouse on the channel's thumbnail). I think that can be solved by using Cmd+Alt+Shift+[- or +] in order to subtract or add from selection.
    Point 2 maybe even more important than point 1, because it allows selecting a designated area by the user, instead of the default luminosity selection, which ranges from 50% of the mid tones to the highlights (or shadows, if the selection is inverted). The user should be allowed to select the starting and finishing points of the luminosity selection.
    I thought 2 ways for solving these issues (and making it more intuitive and faster):
    A) By using the Histogram Panel, by dragging and highlighting an area on it, that it should load the selected luminosity pixels as a selection, as shown in figure 1:
      figure 1
    So the result of doing that will be a selection based on the area of the histogram that have been highlighted.
    B) By creating a new Adjustment Layer:
    It can be based in the same structure of the HUE Adjustment Layer, like figure 2 shows:
    Figure 2
    Or it can be this way (much better). Figure 3:
    Figure 3
    The selection can also be controlled by using the Click and Drag as suggested in the figure 1, as shown in the figure 4:
    Figure 4
    The overlaid highlighting over the histogram can be functional or just a mere graphic representation of the Range and Fade Selector. The "Fading" areas should be also be draggable in order to increase smooth the selection. However, the smoothing can be much better done with the Refining Selection tool and it can be ignored from this new tool.
    In any of these cases, the adjustments should give real time feedback when growing or shrinking selection; we must see the selection going bigger or smaller and also, the highlighted area should be draggable as well.
    TOOLS PANEL:
    Brush: detect edges while painting on masks (for manual mask refining. It would work similar to the Replace Color Brush, but only for masks and alfa channels). It also needs a shortcut to set the opacity.
    Dodge & Burn: Protect Tones should be allowed when painting on masks or alfa channels (for manual mask refining). D&B can also use edge detection as well.
    FILTERS:
    Some of them, like the ones involving Blur or the High-Pass and the Unsharp Mask filter, should work in real time (these ones, at the least).
    It can also added a Particle Generator Filter.
    It would be really nice having the ability to create particles such as dust, fog, rain, snow, etc in a more realistic manner than just the scattering function from the Brush Palette, or by mixing different filters with different blends. The Particle Generator should have an slider to control the depth of field, so it will give a feeling of depth and also, a way to load masks, so that way, the particles can exists before the image and also, behind. It would be great for creating a nice feeling of depth (kind of a bokeh effect).
    I've been playing with After Effect few times, and the way to create shapes and forms from nothing is the way of easier than in Photoshop.
    TIME LINE:
    I think it's time give dynamism the filters applied to a movie clip, and also, dynamics to the fade effects, like it happens in After Effects by adding Bezier Curves.
    HISTOGRAM:
    It should be possible to zoom in into the histogram, for a more precise feedback and analysis of the image tonal values.
    ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
    The fade tool should work in real time.
    Loupe/Magnificator View:
    This is very useful when it comes to edit and image in detail, with a lot of zoom, like 3200%. Unfortunately, Photoshop doesn't provide a real time feedback in an additional window, such as the Window/Arrange/New Window For […].
    It would be really useful having a window showing the image at fit on the screen while working on the other window at 100% or 3200% of zoom, but in real time. This way, you can see if you're doing a good job on the pixels or, if you're overdoing it.
    It happens that, when working with big images at 100% of the image size (or more), the brain cannot figure out how is looking the whole image, so having a realtime feedback in the other window would help a lot for detailled work.
    And why not, ading the same real time structure descrived above but to the Navigator, for faster and lighter use of the hardware capabilities. Probably, adding a check box to the navigator that blocks it to a given zoom, so when zooming into the image in the navigator, the image shown in the window isn't magnified too.
    Give me a chance to show you some examples of what I have done by improvising particles and fog about 5 years ago:
    http://mart1980.deviantart.com/gallery/5027033#/d1m119x
    And what I did 7 years ago by manually, selecting different shades of gray and using just Levels for 8 hours (which coule be done faster and easier with another tool I thought, which I will post later):
    I cannot post examples of the other features I'm suggesting because there are not such new features yet (I would have to create an hipothetical enviroment, but I think, you can fiure it out in your mind).
    Unfortunately, I don't know programing, even though, I tried something with Filter Factory, achieving good results, but that pluging consumes too much resources and/or is bad designed/have not the right tools for certain things.
    Hope this post is enough worthy of the Adobe's attention.
    Thanks,
    س

    This is a poorly explained reason about why is so important having a loupe in Photoshop. I've not also, used the best example, but I will. This belongs to the ADDITIONAL FEATURES: Loupe/Magnificator View:. Also, I will try to make my english clrearer, but here it goes:

  • What is the best way to communicate my displeasure with new features?

    tl;dr How can I complain to FireFox about the new search bar in new tabs? (Or other new features)
    I've seen a question or two here about this new feature already, and it's quite obvious that the developers at FireFox are not exactly interested in what their users think of this particular feature.
    The feature I'm referring to is the new search bar in the New Tab.
    I've attempted a fix mentioned in a previous post (create a sub-directory 'Chrome' and create a CSS file containing specific style commands) and it did not work. I've tried a couple of other fixes mentioned on third party websites as well, to no avail.
    Knowing that FireFox would add something like this without allowing an option to disable it is quite disheartening. I've been enjoying my daily use of FireFox over other browsers I had used in the past because they were cluttered and unclean, and at the time FireFox was not. This search bar has ruined that. My pinned tabs have been squashed to roughly half their original size, and the search bar is unsightly, at best.
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't we already have a search bar at the top of the screen? I fail to see any purpose in this, except to annoy users. If there is a further purpose, please inform me (though to be completely honest, it will not change my opinion here, though it may soften the damage done)
    As of yet, there have been very few features in FireFox that I have been displeased with, and each of them was shortly followed by an add-on to disable them (Or they had come with an option for disabling upon release)
    I'm not here asking for help as to how to remove the search bar, I'm here asking for a link that I can use to directly inform the developers of FireFox of my opinions regarding this update.
    On a third party site I read an article that claimed one of the developers made mention of an option for users to disable this search bar... According to the article, he never received a reply.
    That gets me thinking, if FireFox won't listen to it's own team, should we expect them to listen to us?
    I'm quite close to simply leaving FireFox because of this feature, as now it's little better than what I've left behind in the past. PaleMoon was nice, though a bit slower.
    I'm not saying that I'm going to stop using FireFox, only that I'm quite put off because of what I've read, and the lack of an option to disable this feature.
    If such an option exists already, please give me instruction as to how to do so, and then kindly disregard this query.
    Thank you for taking the time to read this and have a nice day,
    Dillon P.

    Sorry I am only another Firefox user and do not really see anyway of helping you with this quest.
    You may use feedback and make short comments.
    * https://input.mozilla.org/feedback
    *And see comments made from the interactive page https://input.mozilla.org
    Statistical data from the comments are made available to developers and others.
    AFAIK no one from Mozilla is likely to wish to engage in conversations about newly introduced features or deliberate feature regressions. Developers did post on the forum for a day or two after the introduction of Firefox 29 (Australis) but did not hang around and the subject of Firefox development is again considered to be off topic and outside the scope of this forum.
    The forum manager who will confirm this is off topic is Madalina. (Listing & contact details https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/meet-team )
    This is a link [/questions/998084#answer-566525] relating to one developers comments from back when it was on topic.
    The mailinglists and blogs can be seen here
    * https://www.mozilla.org/about/forums/#general-development
    * Nearly always closed for comments but https://blog.mozilla.org
    ** https://blog.mozilla.org/ux/
    if you do discover anywhere where staff welcome discussion and engage with end users please let us know.
    I will tag this post as '''escalate''' so that at least it is seen by HelpDesk staff maybe they are aware of some method end users may use to engage in dialogue, besides posting one way input comments.
    IIRC there was talk of listing any such resources if they were discovered, so that we could post more helpful replies than this one.
    We do not specifically deal with hacks to Firefox on this forum but will try to help with advice, mainly saying use addons. Please continue to post if you have direct questions you think we may be able to assist with.

    I am glad there was a copy paste added but it would have been nice to use your own ringtones and I don't understand why they could not use gps for the direction of the phone too.
    I am sure if they can pinpoint you on the map they could tell what direction your holding the phone on the 3g.
    The cam is very poor on the 3g phone it,s more like an afterthought.
    I don't understand why apple did not have the function of moving your photos and ringtones with drag and drop onto itunes rather than sync to a folder.
    yes there are apps you can buy but even a £20 phone lets you do all of above without added cost to the user.
    and where is the software reset for clearing the memory or is that an afterthought too.
    PS not picking holes it's a fact.
    The HTC phone is a nice phone mate has one.

  • Some of the new features of iPhoto 8 (09)

    The following are some of the new features of iPhoto 8 that are not publicized on the Apple iPHoto site:
    1 - iPhoto 8 now will open directly the library that you double click on instead of opening the last opened library.
    2 - it has a new option in the rebuild window, *Rebuild Library Database from automatic backup*. With luck that might just make the need for my Automator workflow to backup the Library6.iPhoto database file obsolete. Let's hope so.
    3 - all MobileMe galleries published will automatically be included in all iPhoto Libraries.
    4 - when you move your cursor over a thumbnail image there is a small "i" in the lower right hand corner that, when clicked on, opens the Info window for that photo. There you can assign a location via Google.
    5 - upon launching iPhoto with the Option key depressed a window will open that will list all iPhoto libraries on your boot drive and all connected HDs except that used for Time Machine. It will also list any folder containing a Library6.iPhoto file. So if you have a backup copy of the dB file in a folder somewhere on your HD that folder will be displayed in the list of available libraries to open.
    As a general note I've found that iPhoto Library Manager will work with iPhoto 8 (09) as far as selecting the library to open. I haven't tested the copy, merge or rebuild features as yet.
    That's about I've come across in the short time I've been experimenting with it. *By far the best new feature IMO is No.2 above.*
    OT

  • FAQ: New feature overview

    This text guide helps you find most major new features in Photoshop CS. For a comprehensive video walkthrough, see this Ask A Pro session with Senior Product Manager Zorana Gee. 
    Retouching and transforming
    Content-Aware Move tool
    The Content-Aware Move tool lets you quickly recompose images without complex layering or slow, precise selections. Extend mode convincingly expands or contracts objects such as hair, trees, or buildings. Move mode lets you place objects in completely different locations (most effectively when the background remains similar).
    In the toolbar, hold down the Spot Healing Brush, and select the Content-Aware Move tool.
    In the options bar, choose Mode > Extend or Move. Adaptation options control how closely the new area reflects existing image patterns.
    In the image, circle the object you want to extend or move, and drag it to a new location.
    Tip: To best extend architectural objects, use photos shot on a parallel plane, rather than at an angle.
    Content-Aware Patch tool
    The updated Patch tool includes a Content-Aware option that seamlessly replaces unwanted image elements by synthesizing nearby content. The natural-looking results are similar to Content-Aware Fill, but the Patch tool lets you select the area from which the fill is drawn.
    In the toolbar, hold down the Spot Healing Brush, and select the Patch tool.
    In the options bar, choose Patch > Content-Aware. Adaptation options control how closely the patch reflects existing image patterns.
    In the image, circle the area you want to replace, and drag over the area you want to generate a fill from.
    Redesigned Crop tools
    The redesigned Crop tool provides an interactive preview so you can better visualize results. A streamlined set of toolbar options includes a helpful Straighten tool, and aspect ratio controls you can adjust while a crop is active in the image window. (To maintain the current aspect ratio or resolution, right-click the image to access additional options.)
    To crop an image, click the Crop tool in the toolbar. Then either adjust default crop borders in the image window, or drag in the window to start with specific borders.
    Note: If you deselect Delete Cropped Pixels to apply a nondestructive crop, you can later click the image to see areas outside current crop borders.
    To correct image perspective, hold down the Crop tool and select the Perspective Crop tool.
    Type
    Paragraph and Character styles
    In the Window > Paragraph Styles panel, create, store, and reapply the characteristics of groups of highlighted sentences. In the Window > Character Styles panel, specify the look of selected letters, words, or phrases.
    Double-click existing styles to edit them and update all associated text in the current document. From the panel menus, save and load styles to apply them to other documents. Or drag styles from one document to another.
    Type styles are hierarchical: Manual overrides replace any applied character styles, which in turn replace applied paragraph styles. This hiearchical approach lets you combine the efficiency of styles with the flexibility to customize your designs.
    Tip: To create a style without first selecting text, click the Create New Style icon [ICON] at the bottom of the Paragraph or Character Styles panel. To edit a style without applying it to text, select an image layer, such as the Background.
    Drawing
    Vector layers
    The Line and Shape tools now create fully vector-based objects. Apply strokes and fills using the options bar. Stroke objects with dashed lines and other designs. Fill objects with preset or user-defined gradients, colors, and patterns.
    To later revise stroke and fill settings, simply select the object layer, and then select the Path Selection or Direct Selection tool.
    Tip: To reduce anti-aliased edges, ensuring that vector objects look as sharp as possible, select Align Edges in the options bar.
    Intuitive path editing
    By default, dragging with the Direct Selection tool adjusts multiple related segments, letting you quickly transform path shapes. To edit only segments between selected anchor points, reflecting previous Photoshop versions, select Constrain Path Dragging in the options bar.
    Video
    Choose Window > Timeline to access the redesigned, clip-based Timeline panel, including transitions and effects that give finished videos professional polish. Easily change clip duration and speed, and apply motion effects to text, still images, and Smart Objects.
    Video Groups combine multiple video clips and content such as text, images, and shapes on a single Timeline track. Separate audio tracks allow for easy editing and adjusting.
    The redesigned video engine also supports a wider range of import formats. When you're ready to output final video, choose File > Export > Render To Video. Photoshop provides helpful presets and options for the DPX, H.264, and QuickTime formats.
    Note: In Windows, you must install QuickTime separately.
    Correcting wide-angle lenses
    Choose Filter > Adaptive Wide Angle to quickly straighten lines that appear curved in panoramas or photos shot with fisheye and wide-angle lenses. The filter uses the physical characteristics of individual lenses to automatically correct images.
    Fine-tune the adjustments with these options in the Adaptive Wide Angle dialog box:
    In the upper left of the dialog box, choose the Constraint or Polygon Constraint tool. Then drag across key objects you want to straighten or align vertically or horizontally. (If necessary, right-click constraint lines in the image, and choose an orientation from the pop-up menu.)
    In the upper right of the dialog box, choose the lens type and focal length, and adjust Scale andCrop Factor to compensate for any blank image areas the filter introduces. (To save and load customized settings for use with future images, click the menu icon.)
    Tip: To see a visual representation of the transformations applied to the image, select Show Mesh at the bottom of the dialog box.
    Photographic blur gallery
    Choose Filter > Field Blur, Iris Blur, or Tilt-Shift to quickly create three distinct photographic blur effects with intuitive on-image controls.
    Use Iris Blur to add one or more focus points to your photo. Then move the on-image controls to alter the size and shape of the focus points, the amount of blur in the rest of the image, and the transition between sharp and blurred areas.
    For a different look, build a gradient blur effect using the Field Blur option, placing multiple pins with different blur amounts. Or align blur along one or more planes with the Tilt-Shift option.
    With the blur adjustments complete, style the overall effect with Bokeh brightness and color controls.
    Tip: Combine multiple blur types to produce creative results.
    Camera Raw 7
    Simplified Basic controls in the Develop tab improve highlight and shadow rendering. New local corrections are available for white balance, highlights, shadows, noise reduction, and moiré.
    The new Basic sliders and new local adjustments options appear when you process new images or convert previously-processed images to Process Version 2012 (PV2012). To convert an image, click the exclamation-point icon in the lower-right corner of the image preview area.
    Selecting and adjusting colors
    Skin-tone selection and face-detection
    Choose Select > Color Range. Then, from the top pop-up menu in the Color Range dialog box, choose Skin Tones to easily isolate those tones. To reduce the resulting selection to faces in the image, select Detect Faces.
    Or, start off by selecting only faces: Choose Sampled Colors from the top pop-up menu, and then select Localized Color Clusters and Detect Faces. This approach lets you use the eyedropper samplers to refine the selection.
    Note: To create a selection that preserves skin tones while you adjust the color of everything else, select Invert below the eyedropper samplers.
    Improved Auto corrections
    Perfectly enhance your images in a single step with improved Auto options for theLevels, Curves, and Brightness/Contrast adjustments.
    Painting and patterns
    Oil Paint filter
    Choose Filter > Oil Paint to easily create the look of a classic painting.
    Erodible and airbrush tips
    Choose Window > Brush Presets to quickly access new erodible and airbrush tips, or Window > Brush to customize them.
    Erodible pencils and pastels wear down naturally with use. Customize a variety of Brush Tip Shape options: Softness controls the rate of wear, Shape provides settings from flat to round, and Sharpen Tip returns to original crispness. As you paint, watch the amount of wear with the Live Brush Tip Preview to the upper left of the image.
    Airbrush tips replicate spray cans with a 3D conical spray. Customize Brush Tip Shape options like Granularity,Spatter, Hardness, and Distortion controls. With a stylus, alter the spread of sprayed strokes by changing pen pressure.
    Brush Pose holds stylus tilt, rotation, and pressure
    Choose Window > Brush, and select Brush Pose to paint with a specified tilt, rotation, and pressure. Use a stylus to change the stroke relative to the default pose, or select Overrideoptions to maintain a static pose.
    Brush Projection applies stylus tilt and rotation to tip shapes
    Choose Window > Brush, and select Shape Dynamicsfrom the list at left. At the bottom of the options at right, select Brush Projection. As you paint with a stylus, changes to tilt and rotation alter the tip shape.
    Color Dynamics remain consistent for each stroke by default
    Color Dynamics settings automatically vary color as you paint. In previous versions of Photoshop, dynamics settings changed color for each distinct tip stamp in a stroke. In Photoshop CS6, however, dynamic changes occur once at the beginning of each stroke. This lets you vary color between strokes, rather than within each individual stroke.
    To revert to the behavior of previous versions, choose Window > Brush, and select Color Dynamics from the list at left. At the top of the options at right, select Apply Per Tip.
    Scripted patterns
    Select Edit > Fill, choose Pattern from the Use menu, and then select Scripted Patterns to choose from several geometric options. Build sophisticated designs by combining these scripts with Custom Pattern presets and blending modes.
    Workflow and workspace
    Fresh new look
    Work with a fresh, elegant interface with design enhancements like the following:
    Select from four different brightness levels: Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Photoshop> Preferences (Mac OS). In the Interface section, select a Color Theme swatch.
    Note: To quickly decrease interface brightness, press Shift + F1. To increase brightness, press Shift + F2.
    On-image displays keep you informed as you use your favorite tools, showing dimensions for selections, angles for transformations, and more. To adjust the placement of these values, in the Interface preferences, choose an option from the Show Transformation Values menu.
    A new Mini Bridge gallery offers easier access to images and documents. Choose Window >Extensions > Mini Bridge.
    To maximize screen space, functions formerly in the application bar have moved elsewhere. To switch between Standard and Full Screen display modes, click the button at the bottom of the toolbar.
    Speed from Mercury Graphics Engine
    Experience blazing-fast interactions with processing intensive commands likeLiquify, Warp, Puppet Warp, and Crop.
    Layer filtering
    At the top of the Layers panel, new filtering options help you find key layers in complex documents quickly. Display subsets of layers based on name, kind, effect, mode, attribute, or color label.
    Preset migration and sharing
    Choose Edit > Presets > Migrate to easily move presets, workspaces, preferences, and settings from Photoshop CS3 and later to Photoshop CS6. Choose Edit > Presets > Export/Import Presets

  • New Features for the Zen Mic

    So I have been buzzing around this board for the last week or so, reading up on my new Micro. And now that I have figured everything out and gotten the player to work with WMP0 properly (knock on wood) there are a few things that I would suggest to the developers for future versions of the firmware that I have not even seen mentiond. First off, I would like to see the ability to rate my music, I know that this is probably not the most commonly sought after, or even useful feature, but I like to have all my music rated, and the ability to do it right on the player would be nice. The other thing, witch I think of as more of a bug then a new feature, is that the second a song starts to play it adds one to the play count. I think that the play count needs to be updated AFTER the song has finished playing or, if possible, it would be best sometime in the middle of the song. As it is now, if I *accidently* play a song, the play count goes up, even though I stop playback or change the song only a few seconds into it. Another thing that I would like to see improved is the creation of playlists on the device. I know you can save the "Now Playing" list as a playlist, but you can't reorganize the list. I would also like to see some of the other more asked for features, EAX would be nice for instance. I Don't know, just my two cents.

    Sounds like something went south in the OS or actual mp3 decoder in the player. I might try a Clean Up in Resuce mode then maybe a Reload OS. You can get into rescue mode by turning off the player and taking out the battery. Push the power switch in the on position and keep it held over while you re-insert the battery. It should boot into Rescue mode. Try a Clean Up. It should display a status % complete and only take a few moments. Try the songs again and see if there's the same problem.
    If that doesn't work download firmware v.0.03 and select Reload Firmware via USB.
    If either of these things don't work and the source files are clean it might be a bigger problem that might require a replacement.
