New toy and I'm lovin' it.

I had decided to get back to doing some personal still photography and proceed for a bit recently untill I hit a major hurdle.
Printing exhibition quality "art photos" (esp. B/W) from digital source was a stumbling block ..
Very expensive and no control of my images in the process..
Then ...I decided to buy my self a printer.
Did some homework (all of 2 days worth) and decide on an Epson R2880 stylus printer.
I am so enjoying printing extremely high quality images with this printer.  Totally awesome.
The quality that can be achieved with archive ink and paper is outstanding.
B/W and color ...both incredibly saturated and banding free.
Doing a little exercise by photographing RAW and viewing as B/W as I take the shot ...then post processing in Photoshop to bring back varying degrees of color saturation from the RAW data.    Study in grey scale then colorising.  RAW is simply amazing.
I'm livin' the dream again and have interest from someone wishing to sell / hang my prints already.
BTW- had a long weekend staying at a vineyard where I was able to take some great images and drink some great wine.
I have been printing these out like there is no tomorrow.

Congratulations with a new "toy"
It IS a LOT of fun printing nice pictures,and have all the control yourself. Not so fun to buy ink though
Talking about ink, your printer is not an office machine, so stick to original ink.
Two questions:
- Do you let the printer manage the colors, or do you use the papers own ICC profile and let Photoshop (or Qimage) control colors?
(Not talking about chosing the right paper type in the printer settings)
- Have you tried Hahnemühle paper?
(It's expensive, and with using that paper one should download profiles for it)

BTW: Everybody should compose in B/W, then the colors won't hide bad compositions.

  • New MacBook and iPhone 3g

    I just purchased my macbook 2 days ago and i am lovin it...but i got an issue. When i am on chat and have the webcam goin, if i plug i my iphone to my macbook, the webcam cuts off. Is there a setting on the mac for this? This is my first ever mac and im still learning it so any info would be greatly appreciated!!!

    You can use the migration assistant. It's located in your Applications folder. It will transfer over your music, documents, applications, even accounts by plugging your old Mac to your new one. It will guide you through all the steps.
    Or you can use an external HD with Time Machine which will make a backup of your old Mac, then plug it into your new Mac and use Migration Assistant to choose what you want to copy over. Or start up using the OS X install disk that came with the Mac and go to the Utilities menu and select Restore from Time Machine.
    When it's all done you just authorize the iTunes account (Open iTunes, Click on Store in the menu bar and sign in using your iTunes Apple ID). Your phone will more than likely ask to restore when you plug it in. That's fine because as long as you transferred all of your contacts (in address book), calendars (in iCal), music (in iTunes), etc. over to your new mac, it will all sync right back to it. Just be sure to Sync and backup your phone to your old mac before you start- just incase.
    Cheers!

  • New toy called GUMSTIX

    Hi Folks! I've just received a new toy from Santa Claus for a R&D project that will start next year. The item is a AM300 EPD Prototype Kit from E-ink (www.eink.com) running of a Gumstix Verdex XM4-bt board. Has someone already experienced LV running on gumstix?
    Thanks in advance,
    Pietro

    Pietro,
    We actually have LabVIEW Microprocessor SDK ported on Gumstix here in UCLA for several research projects.
    As Michael mentioned, cross-compiling the GNU tools for Cygwin can be a very frustrating task and the results may varies on different computers.
    For the starters, you may want to use the pre-built GNU tools for Cygwin. I found one from TomTom (they actually use Linux on their products, so they have to make their source codes and toolchains freely available). Their GCC version is a bit old (3.3.4), but hey, it's free and it does the tricks
    http://www.tomtom.com/page.php?Page=gpl
    After getting the toolchain installed, all you have to do is take the UNIX console target as a template, and cross-compile the run-time libraries for LabVIEW Microprocessor SDK.
    You may contact me if you are interested, I may able to find a way to make the Gumstix target support package available for download in some form.

  • New Development and CA

    We are in process of developing new eCommerce application on ATG. We also have a business requirement to manage images and products using BCC. Most of the business requirements in phase 1 of the project is to configure and deploy application code along with CA ( BCC / Merchandising). My question is whether it is advisable to do new application development along with CA configuration at the same time. What does ATG best practice say in this regard. My opinion is that we should do new application development (deliver new functionality) first to be followed by CA initiative. I have never directly worked on CA projects but I have been part of large teams with multiple initiatives where CA being one of the initiative and I have seen there are quite a few steps that one need to follow in configuring and deploying CA / BCC e.g. versioning of modules, modifying DB schema to support versioning etc. I don't want to run into issues where our main focus is to deliver new functionality and want to avoid the complexity of doing both new development and CA at the same time.
    Edited by: 899085 on Nov 24, 2011 12:01 PM

    The best practice recommendation would be to include any BCC/CA implementation as early as possible in your project plan. Understanding the process of how the business users will be using the tools and what impact any customizations to the ATG code your applications make are very important in a successful rollout of a site usign the BCC and Merchandizing. We tend to see that the projects which attempt to implement BCC/CA at the last minute are the ones that encounter the most problems. Projects which include the BCC and CA in the early stages of the applciation design, project planning, and UAT and load testing go through a much smoother test cycle and launch.

  • How do I get iTunes songs which were downloaded from external back-up drive to play on new computer and is there a way to get my play lists back?

    When I try to play a song from my re-installed iTunes library, I get the error message:  "Song xxx could not be played because original file could not be found.  Would you like to locate it?" > "Locate" or "Cancel."  When I click on "Locate" I can't figure out how to get the song to play from any of the places that were "located."  The path is C:\users\Janet\libraries\music\iTunes
    However, iTunes songs chosen from my library will play in iTunes (current version) when I have the external back-up drive plugged in!  I recently copied my backed-up iTunes library from my external back-up drive to a new computer.
    Most of the songs, but not all, magically appear in Windows Media Player and I can play those just fine. 
    I can see my iTunes library in the newest version of iTunes, recently downloaded to new computer, but can't play songs without connecting to the external back-up drive - so maybe there is something else on that external drive that needs to be on my C: drive? 
    I am using an HP Pavillion Notebook, Windows 7, 64-bit.  My previous computer was Windows Vista.  Before Vista, I had XP. 
    Back when I had XP, I wanted to purchase some songs to download to my computer. Because iTunes had the ability, I used it to create a massive library of songs, most of which were ripped from my CDs.  I don't have an iPod and iTunes worked fine for creating playlists and then burning them to CDs. 
    Also, I'd like to know if there is a way to get back my playlists.
    And another thing - in the older version of iTunes, there was a folder in the lists on the left-hand side of the screen where I could click to see all the songs I had purchased.  I'd like to get that ability back if possible.
    In hindsight, iTunes was probably not the best choice for me to build my music library in a Windows operating system, but it seemed to be the best choice at the time.  I really wish I could convert all the songs to mp3 format.
    I have been working with computers since the days of DOS, black and white screens, and no mice.  The first computer I bought for my own use at home was a Mac and it had "Flying Toasters" as a screensaver.  (I miss that screensaver.)  It did not have a tower and I believe they called it a laptop, even though the thing was as big as a suitcase and probably weighed around 30 pounds.  However, I am by no means a computer expert.  In other words, pretend you're trying to tell your mother how to do what I am asking. =)
    Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

  • TS1538 I cannot sync my iPhone 3GS after upgrading to a new computer and installing iTunes

    i am trying to sync my iPhone 3GS to a new computer. I downloaded and installed iTunes and copied over the iTunes folder into My Music. Unfortunately iTunes on the new computer does not recognize my iPhone.
    - The old computer was running windows XP OS 32bit. My new computer is running Windows 7, 64 bit.
    - I have installed iTunes on the new computer. Windows OS recognizes the iPhone but iTunes does not. I have uninstalled and reinstall iTunes a few times now. On one reinstall, i recieved the following messages:  "an iPhone has been detected, but it could not be identified. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPhone, then try again".  Upon trying again, i recieved this message: "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an invalid response was received from the device".
    every other time, nothing happens other that Windows prompting that the iPhone is detected. Any suggestions appreciated.
    thanks, Singletrack200

  • HT201328 I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first or set one up for her and then unlock the phone.

    I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first ( I now have a new iphone on this account) or set one up for her and then unlock the phone. I am worried about upsetting the new phone.

    I would complete unlocking as is and then
    restore as new once you know the iPhone is unlocked
    Be aware Orange will process the request at their speed

    will likely take weeks

  • I am using Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit on a brand new PC, and cannot connect to the iTunes store using iTunes version 10.  HELP!!

    Ok, so after purchasing a new computer, with windows 7 pro, 64 bit, I tried downloading the newest iTunes, which at the time was 10.2.1 (i believe).  After installation, everything seemed to work, except that iTunes was unable to securely connect to the internet, use home sharing, or validate my computer.
    As troubleshooting, I first ran msconfig, and then turned OFF all programs that boot at start up EXCEPT itunes and quicktime.  After a restart, i opened itunes again, and got the same result.  That led me to believe that iTunes was NOT being blocked by another program on my machine.  I am currently running itunes 10.7 successfully on a Windows 7 32 machine at work.  Anyhow, for grins, I tried to install version 9 on the new computer, and it installed perfectly, and immediately connected to the itunes store, leading me to believe that there is nothing wrong with my software configuration (not sure if this is a safe assumption or not).  I then tried to let iTunes update itself using the automated update function.  It tried to update itself to the most current version, then 10.6.  Again, iTunes was unable to connect to the iTunes store.  I HAVE tried disabling the anti-virus software (AVG), but that made no difference. 
    I have since gone back and reinstalled iTunes 9.  Here's the catch though.  When I reinstalled using version 9, I had to redo all my library files.  I'm about 1/2 way through my CD's, and now have a substantial library file going.  The last time I let iTunes update itself to 10.6, once I realized that it was not going to connect to the store, I uninstalled iTunes, and reinstalled ver. 9.  However, when I did this, it told me it could no longer open the library file, because it was a newer .itl or .xml (i believe it was one of those two extensions) library file.  At that point, I basically started everything over again, using version 9, and have been importing CD's like a madman at night.
    Here are my questions:
    1) Is there a way to make a copy of the files that store my library info, so that if my upgrade to ver 10 IS NOT SUCCESSFUL, I can restore ver 9, but still have all of the album art work, playlists (when I import music, I create a playlist with the artists' name, and store things that way), etc. in tact? 
    2) What else can I try (firewall settings, internet options, etc.) to try and get version to to successfully install?  I would really like to get all the benfits of the newer versions.
    3) When I tried to get apple tech support before, they wanted me to pay a ridiculous 69$ fee for phone support.  I just bought an iphone 5....this should entitle me to a fresh 90 days of phone support, right?  The reason I ask here is that I could hardly understand the "tech" that answered the phone when I called for tech support last time, and to be honest, it really ****** me off that they wanted to try and milk me for another 69 bucks....I've purchased every iPhone since the 3Gs came out (pre-ordered at that), and have nearly gone broke purchasing music from their iTunes store....heck, maybe they're doing me me a favor not letting me into the store, huh?
    Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated,
    -Brian

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)
