New features Workflow 2.6.2 - iAS9 Rel 2

Hello,
Can anyone tell me what the difference is between :
Oracle Workflow 2.6.2 installed as stand alone
versus
Oracle Workflow 2.6.2 installed with the iAS9 Release 2 (workflow is installed automatically when installing
Oracle9iAS InterConnect 9.0.2 Hub and Developer Kit).
Are there any new features added to Workflow when using the iAS9 rel 2 ?
Do some things work differently, for example using the java functin activity agent. As this works using Advanced Queing.
I already looked in the ias doc, but didn't find much.
Tnx,
Chris.

The 2 releases are essentially the same, the main difference is that in iAS 9.0.2 you can leverage Single Sign on Oracle Internet Directory integration.
A new feature introduced in 9.2 was the Oracle Workflow Manager component of Oracle Enterprise Manager, which you can use to submit background engines and other workflow system processes, and has graphs of workflow item metrics and agent activity.

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

Did you mean to put this one in the iPhoto forum?

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

Wow. Okay...
I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
My only comment would be re: your computer specs:
BJReis wrote:

To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

New feature idea - Beat Grid

Hi all,
I've got an idea for a new feature and thought I'd post it here in case other people agree that it's a good idea and would like to submit a feature request to help get it noticed.
Beat Grid
It would be useful to be able to overlay a grid of vertical lines onto the timeline which show the positions of musical beats and bars. This would assist with positioning keyframes and edit points in projects that are based around music.
You would need to be able to specify a tempo, time signature, and an offset. Beats should be shown with one colour or thickness of line, with downbeats coloured differently or a different thickness, and it should be an option to snap keyframes to the beat grid.
Musical synchronisation forms the basis of a huge amount of motion graphics work, and therefore I think this feature would be very useful and popular. (My current method is to put beat markers on the audio layer, but making a grid overlay as part of the user interface would be a much neater/easier method.)
Here's a mock-up of how I imagine it looking: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1388508/BeatGridMockup.jpg
The green lines represent downbeats (i.e. the first beat of a bar), and the yellow ones are individual beats.
Ideally you'd be able to interactively drag the green downbeat lines to offset the position of the whole grid, and drag the yellow beat lines to change the grid spacing (i.e. tempo), as well as entering numeric values. These should be saved per comp rather than being a global grid setting, and appearance should be configurable as a general AE preference (eg line colours).
An extension of this could be automatic beat detection to configure the grid, but to be honest it wouldn't be difficult to set it up manually if implemented the way I've described above.
If you think this would be useful, please post a feature request at Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form . I'm sure this would be relatively easy for the team to implement and be a huge time saver for many of us.
Cheers,
Phil

Hi Dave,
Yes I'm familiar with those terms, and appreciate what you're saying, but I don't think this would 'severely limit' the use of a beat/timeline grid.
There's plenty of music out there that does have a consistent tempo (particularly electronic music, and library music which is usually produced on computer), and there are also plenty of occasions when it would be useful to have a time-interval grid, even when music isn't being used. (I've started thinking of it as a 'timeline grid' rather than a 'beat grid' now.
What I'm proposing is not a plugin, but a simple addition to the user interface - a grid you can turn on and off, just like the grid in the comp viewer.
Personally, with the work I do, I would benefit from such a feature like this on an almost daily basis, hence why I'm putting the idea out there in the hope that other people agree.

What are your top three favorite new features in 8?

First off, let me say that I am blown away with this update. It really has almost everything I could have hoped for. Bug fixes, workflow improvements galore, not a bunch of new plug ins but great improvements on the old ones, and I personally love the new look. Job well done apple. Three features that will revolutionize the way I work:
1. Key command for hiding plug ins. Some plugs take a ton of time for the graphics to load, that used to be really annoying.
2. Key command for disabling control surfaces. I am always needing to switch from using my control surface as a mixer controller to using it to quickly automate some CC on a MIDI track. This makes it very quick and easy.
3. Delay Designer. I just got into this one, absolutely amazing. Those melodic patterns really got me excited. This completely obliterates any other delay I've ever seen feature wise, and the interface is great. I used to use Ohmboyz as my go to for complex delays, but Delay Designer blows it away from what I can tell. The compressor improvements are very nice as well!

1. Mainstage - Even though I probably won't use Logic for live performance much, I love how simple, clean, and intuitive the interface looks. I will probably use this when composing as it seems to be one of the easiest ways to route drum pads, create keyboard layers, etc. really quickly, and the interface is very inviting.
2. Delay designer looks really fun. I remember spending 30 minutes once in Sonar trying to get the stupid delay to do a really simple thing. I finally gave up and layered the audio data to make my own delay because it didn't give me enough control to make it happen in the plugin. It looks like I could have just drawn it into the Delay Designer and been done with it.
3. Import from Garageband - Not a new feature, but I love using Garageband as a musical notepad when all I want to do is create something simple or jot down an idea. In this period, I don't need all the features of Logic, but I will eventually, and then I just open it up in Logic and get more advanced.

Photographer moving from CS3 to CS5.5 looking for discussion of new features

Hi,
I'm a photographer (not retoucher or designer). Just moved over to CS5.5 from CS3 due to the price changes that will happen in the next upgrade. I'm finding the changes quite difficult to navigate. I know there's lots of info out there, but really, there's too much! I'm looking for a good discussion, video, print, whatever, of the main changes in workflow between the versions. I'm pretty old school in my PS use. I use Curves a lot, set skin tones with CMYK numbers etc. My work flow is probably closest to that used by many beauty retouchers. One of the big changes thats throwing, me for instance, is that I can no longer simply cmd click on a eyedropper target on skin then cmd 1, 2, 3 on the RGB curves layers to set points to adjust colour.
Links, suggestions of video's etc much appreciated.

One of the big changes thats throwing, me for instance, is that I can no longer simply cmd click on a eyedropper target on skin then cmd 1, 2, 3 on the RGB curves layers to set points to adjust colour.
In the Adjustments Panel it’s alt-2 (composite) and alt-3 (red), alt-4 (green), alt-5 (blue) to select the individual channels now.
And command-shift-click to set the points on the R-, G- and B-curves.
You may want to consider setting the Adjustments Panel to »Auto Select Targeted Adjustment Tool«.
One can still trigger the old modal dialog via a Script, but it might be better to just get accustomed to the Adjustments Panel.
You may be able to download the Help as pdf for CS4 and CS5, their respective »What’s new?«-sections should provide an overview of the accumulated new features.

There's a list of the big new features in the
"New features in After Effects CS4" section of After Effects CS4 Help on the Web, and you can read about every little change to the UI in the
"User interface changes from After Effects CS3 to After Effects CS4" section.
But I thought that all of you who have posted requests to this wishlist might like to get specific responses to some of the items on this list.
First of all, though, I'd like to point out an innovative set of features that I think addresses a request that many of you have made... just not exactly as you asked for it. All of us have wanted a better way to see into and navigate among nested compositions (precompositions). The Composition Mini-Flowchart and Composition Navigator make moving around in a complex project much, much faster and easier. Telling you to see the
"Opening and navigating nested compositions" section isn't going to do this feature set justice. You'll only appreciate how slick this is when you get your hands on it.
Oh, and we reversed the behavior of double-clicking versus Option-double-clicking a precomposition layer: Now double-clicking opens the source composition in the Composition panel, not the precomposition layer in the Layer panel.
Now, on to the specific responses...
David Wigforss:
> I completely agree that the graph editor needs work....
> Position values need to be seperated into 3 distinct values that can
> be adjusted independant of each other.
Done.
See
"Separate dimensions of Position to animate components individually".
Mark Weiss:
> would like to see XDCam EX import capabilities.
Done.
See
"Supported import formats".
AndyClarke:
> all effects in 32 bit or float
Not quite all. But more are, including all of the 3D Channel effects, which is a category that really needed the upgrade.
See
"Effects and animation presets".
AndyClarke
> prob a really simple little thing but a 'centre anchor point' button could be handy?
Move layers so that their anchor points are in the center of the composition or view?
If so, then done. See the first tip on the
"Move layers in space" page.
silversurfer:
> An intra-project search function that displays properties of every layer.
Done.
See
"Search and filter in the Timeline, Project, and Effects & Presets panels".
(Plus, you can now use the shortcut FF to show instances of missing effects. See
"About effects".)
Thomas Craul:
> the possibility to expand all of the effects parameters in the effect controls window at once.
> just like when expanding all layer properties or all subfolders with strg+klick (little arrow).
Done.
See
"Shortcuts: showing properties in the Effect Controls panel".
Pietje Bel:
> I'd like to see some features I can use with my tablet (I got it for photoshop, though
> I use AE even more than I use photoshop).
We've had features for using the pen dynamics with the paint tools for a while. See
"Brushes and the Brushes panel".
That said, we've made some improvements under the hood that should make using a pen better (e.g., modifying the sensitivity during certain click and drag operations).
Darren McNeill:
> Simple, I would like After Effects to have the ability to extrude Text in 3d space.
> Nothing complicated, just be able to create 3d Text.
How about the ability to do this in Photoshop and then import the 3D object layer into After Effects?
See
"Using 3D object layers from Photoshop"
invisiblerabbit:
> Being able to specify how many processors to use in the multiprocessing preference pane.
Done. Plus other improvements in this area.
See
"Memory & Multiprocessing preferences".
invisiblerabbit:
> I'd love a setting either in the preferences or the output module to write project
> information (importantly: the name of the project) into the metadata of the rendered file.
Done. And then some. On steroids.
See
"XMP metadata in After Effects".
Navarro Parker:
> I'd love AE projects to be searchable. Having the ability to search for comp names or source footage
> names within projects from the Finder would be fantastic.
Done, as long as you have the means to search within XML files. The new XML project file format opens up a lot of scripting possibilities, too.
See
"About projects".
David Bogie:
> I humbly ask the Adobe After Effects team to concentrate first on fixing anything
> and everything that is broken or buggy before adding any more complexity to this application.
> Make it more elgant, make it easier to use, make it faster... sure, fine. But invest the
> creative energy and geek resources to making it work flawlessly instead of adding more stuff.
Though we did add "more stuff", we also spent a lot of time polishing the application this time. The number of small tweaks to address pain points was very large.
AndyClarke:
> I just don't like the help browser.
Better?
After Effects CS4 Help on the Web
Laurie Hogan:
> I got a simple one. Can AE have Spell Check.
AE Enhancers provides
a spelling checker script.
Laurie Hogan:
> Also Can there be more integration between AE and Apple FCP.
I give a link to a script from Dale Bradshaw on the
"Supported import formats" page (at the bottom of the page).

Muhammad AliOkay I've haven't done 1z0-045 ... but I at one point I was considering 1z0-050 so I'm willing to share my views on an upgrade exam and exams in general.
Remember Oracle are trying to ensure that a DBA who was tested at 8i DBA OCP has nw
It depends on your definition of read the topics. If you mean literally just read the topics then that will result in a failure. If you mean study research practice and fully understand the topics that should lead to a pass.
Bear in mind that Oracle would expect a competent 8i DBA attending the 5 day training course Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Oracle8i DBAs [http://education.oracle.com/web_prod-plq-dad/plsql/show_desc.redirect?dc=D17389GC10&p_org_id=&lang=&source_call=] to be able pass the exam with perhaps 2 to 4 weeks further study, revision and practice.
Interestingly this particular exam has a relatively high pass mark (73%) ... one implication of that is that it is prudent to be comfortable with all topics.
Generally an upgrade exam will cover topics beyond that of the straight OCA/OCP exams. The questions will obviously be at OCP level.
It is possilble the Sybex book Oracle 10g New Features for Administrators Study Guide (Certification Study Guide) ISBN-13: 978-0782143553 which although for 1z0-040 may have some relevance for some of your topics. If you choose to purchase it that is your choice. (It seems to have good amazon reviews ... though all of these books can contain errors, it may or may not be updated for 10gR2, and some Sybex Oracle books are sometimes OTT in some areas IMHO, but that wouldn't stop me using one).

Photoshop new features teaser video

Haven't seen the Photoshop new features teaser video mentioned in this forum.
A couple of welcome improvements caught my attention:
- Conditional step in an Action
- Blur Gallery as Smart Filter

Thanks for the link!

I agree with regard to Blur Gallery, currently I consider the feature useless for my workflow.

Requested new feature

Because of a screwy workflow, where we have to convert all electronic files including PDF files into Illustrator files to meet submission guidelines for a major service provider I would like to see a feature built in to future version of Acrobat where all embedded fonts and subsets of fonts can be converted to outlines so that upon conversion of the PDF to the Illustrator file we will not have to try and find fonts that we can substitute for those used by the customer. I know that Pit Stop pro can do this, but the management where I work see the purchase of additional software as an un-needed expense and will not purchase the plug in. To me it would seem obvious that this would have been a feature set included in the past and continued through the present into the future.
Also it would be nice if this requested feature could be incorporated into updates for past versions, such as Acrobat 8 (again they will not buy new software) and into Acrobat 9 (my current version at home).
It would be important that this new feature would be able to be backward compatible for file opening in all versions of Acrobat back to Acrobat 4 because of the differing work flows in the industry.
Thank you for reading my request.

Simple solution. The icons are stored in ~/Library/Safari/Icons (where ~ is your user folder). Empty the Icons folder whenever you want to. Utilities like Onyx or Cocktail will do it for you too but it's just too easy to empty the Icons folder manually. But you are right. There should be an "Reset Favicons" selection right under the "Empty Cache" menu.
