Nikon camera settings for an adobe only workflow

If I use a Nikon D70, shoot raw, don't use Nikon nx, and want to import into Lightroom as dng--are there certain in-camera setting to use or avoid? Use to think only decision was whether to import as dng or nef. But if Nikon's in camera settings aren't accessible without nx, do you have to rethink all your camera settings just because you want to import into Lightroom as dng?
Thank you,
Tim

I also just convert my NEF's to DNG on import. I tried some of the presets for import, but quickly realized that all of the photos on a memory card rarely need the same things. I would also argue that most people don't choose all the optimal settings in camera (hence the advantages of RAW).
For this reason, I find my best workflow is to simply edit groups of pictures that are similar. So if I take a few pictures inside at a birthday party, I will spend a few minutes in the develop module changing my settings, and then I will simply sync, auto sync, or copy and paste all of my develop settings to the 10 other photos that have the same issues.
One note on sharpening. It supposedly is set to a decent setting by default. Check out this article:

How to provide security settings for the adobe form using livecycleDesigner

Hello,
I am very new to form designing,
can any one please tell me how to provide security settings for the adobe forms at client side?

Hi,
that is a good topic for the ADFS forum.

But you could pass the user-agent as incoming claim type Client User agent. User-agents can be manipulated, so if that is an issue you can look into Device Registration and the Device OS type from there. That is also a incoming claim but requires DRS and
DRS is not available for all plattforms.

For my power shot S5IS, best camera settings for 4 X 6 prints?

for my power shot S5IS, best camera settings for 4 X 6 prints? I would like to have the best setting so when i print out the photos,i do not need to crop or trim. It is close, but i feel it can be better.

The bad news is that you can't do anything in camera to get that result. The good news is that once you understand the possibilities you'll appreciate being able to control how your prints get framed (cropped). Your camera produces images in a 3:4 ratio while a 4 X 6 is a 2:3 ratio so if you don't know in advance that you need to crop some from the top, bottom, or both to make your image fit the 2:3 ratio & frame too tightly when taking the photo you're in trouble. Learn to shoot in a way that allows cropping to match common print sizes, and find a simple editing program to crop in computer. This should be standard practice because even though you may want a 4 X 6 now down the road you might want a 5 X 7 so keep your options open.
If you don't have an editing program that easily does this & you're on a PC download Picasa which is an excellent program for this & it's free. Once you have it running select one of your existing photos, select "crop" from the menues on the first tab & then play around with the different options Picasa has built in to see the effects to your image. NOTE that it won't throw away the data outside the crop box even though it may look like it has. You always have the option to "undo crop". Once you get a result you like you "export" & create a new file cropped as seen on screen WITHOUT modifying the original file.

RAW Native Camera Settings for Nikon - do they convert?

Question on RAW processing in Lightroom. Can Lightroom show ALL of the the in-camera settings (WB, saturation, etc.) selected when the shot was taken? I prefer not to have to re-cook the RAW photos from scratch on every picture. Nikon NX2 provides this option (i.e. the RAW and JPEG can look identical as starting points on your screen) which I find helpful versus dealing with uncooked RAW images to start with each time. I am considering Lightroom for lots of other good reasons but this is a threshold issue for me due to time, etc.
Would love to hear anyone's experience on this. I use a Nikon D80.
Thanks much.
Gary

Robert,
Specific camera settings,etc, are in fact stored in Nikon Nefs and can be read by NX2--or changed, if one wishes in NX2, but nowhere else, as has been stated.
Eric,
Presets, or profiles, may come close in some instances to reasonably good starting points for NEFs in LR2, so if that is all you need or use NX2 for, then your advice is reasonable.
However, at this point in time, NX2 has some distinct advantages, most notably much more advanced and faster local corrections tools than LR2 and soft proofing, to name two.
However, LR2 editing is integrated with a catalog database, and NX2 is browser based, and that may make LR2 worth the tradeoff for some users. Both, of course, offer non destructive editing.
Each has it strengths and weaknesses, so I use both to take advantage of the unique tools each offers.

Can Bridge report in-camera settings for White Balance?

No matter what settings I choose in Bridge Preferences, I cannot get it to tell me what was the White Balance (WB) setting of the camera when raw images were shot.
This seems an odd omission because Camera Raw is passed this information and displays images correctly, although it doesn't report what WB value it was given, only that what you are viewing, prior to any editing, is the default "As Shot".
I'm referring to raw files shot on my Canon 300D, Nikon D700 and Canon 5D Mark II.
Currently I'm using PsCS6 (13.0.1.2 x64), Bridge CS6 (5.0.2.4 x64) and ACR 8.1 on a Windows 7 x64 8GB system, but the same omission existed on the same Windows system with ACR 7.x in CS6 and all releases of PsCS5, Bridge CS5 and ACR 6.6 and 6.7.
On the opening dialog of Bridge Preferences, at the bottom you can choose whether or not you wish to 'Hide Empty Fields'. Selecting or unselecting this option does not have any effect upon Bridge's inability to report WB when, from within Bridge, you select File Info from the File menu or by hitting Ctrl + I.
The only locations in Bridge Preferences I can find that need selection (and which I have selected) for Bridge to supply WB information upon invoking File Info are here:
Preferences\Metadata\Camera Data (Exif)\White Balance; and
Preferences\Metadata\Camera Raw\White Balance
I have also selected Preferences\Metadata\File Properties\Supports XMP, and yet Bridge fails to give the in-camera WB in the Camera Data tab of File Info.
I have been able to locate references to WB in the following tabs of File Info:
File Info\Advanced, where there appears, under the sub-tab 'Exif Properties (http://ns.adobe.com/exif/1.0)', an entry such as 'exif:White Balance:1'; and
File Info\Raw Data an entry such as '<exif:White Balance >1< /exif:White Balance>'.
However, these are just code numbers, not names like 'Cloudy' or 'Shade', and they are not only inconsistent (both showing the code 1 for an unedited image I know was shot with Auto WB and another unedited image I know was shot with Flash WB) but also it would appear that the codes may refer to the WB as modified by ACR - because an image I know had its in-camera WB of Auto altered in ACR shows a code of 'Custom' rather than 0, 1 or some other number.
So what am I missing? Does anyone know how to make Bridge Preferences display the in-camera setting for WB, and if so, under which tab of File Info do you look for the answer once you have set up Preferences properly?

Just corrected my current Photoshop version

I'm afraid that you just haven't addressed the question that I asked in my original post.
I still like to think I have but if you for whatever reason need this info showing in the metadata you probably be better of trying to alter it your self or find a way to address Paul personally (maybe via a private message).
I have not heard from him for a long time and a small google search provided me with this forum post, hope it helps you, maybe you can also persuaded Paul to come back, he is very missed!

Camera settings for making book

hi all i've just started to get into iphoto and want to make a book for mother's day. i've tried adding some pictures but its also showing the yellow sign with the ! in the middle. i take it this means the pictures are not of good quality to print out. the ones with this on them are taken on 1 megapixel.
what should i change it to? on my new camera its either 1, 3 or 5. i know the easy answer is 5 but i'm just making sure.
also anyone know how long the book takes to be delivered to the uk.

That yellow sign is an indication that you don't have sufficient pixel density to produce a quality print. You want to take pictures with the maximum amount of pixels that your camera can utilize. Also, set your compression to "Fine." The ONLY downside to these recommendations is file size - the camera's storage capacity will be reduced.

It does not make any difference for the 4G iPod since iTunes optimizes the photos for the iPod, iPhone and iPad. see:

Camera settings for outdoor Christmas Lighting

Tonight might be my only chance to take some outdoor Christmas lighting.
It's warm ... 40 degrees (C). No time for trial and error.
What is recommended for manual settings on a D70 or such? I might give the "Night Lighting" setting a try also.
Marty Landolt

Marti
Settings are often very flexible and depend on the type of lights, how many
and yadda, yadda, yadda. I would start out in manual mode at the widest if
setting and a shutter speed of 1/30.
A couple of things to try if you want to get different effects. Adjust the
colour balance between day light and incandescent light this will give you a
slightly over all warmer or cooler colours. Tapping on you tripod when
you use longer exposures will create some very interesting light "trails".
Finally breathing on your lens will fog it up and the resulting images will
be wonderfully hazy.
While I say finally it really isn't as there are hundreds of ways to
approach any scene.

Best camera settings for youtube videos

I'm wondering if it's better to compress a high quaility video, or can I shoot at low quality and get the same results?
I have a Canon 60D and CS4 master collection with Premiere Pro and Encore.

Use the preset under H.264 and set the framerate the same as your footage.
Do a little experimenting, you dont have to upload the whole movie, couple of minutes is enough.
HD footage can be upload as HD so why go for low.

Advanced Camera Settings for BlackBerry Z10 Camera

When I see Apps like ProShot and Nokia Camera and the features they provide on Windows Phones, I really feel that a lot could be done with the BlackBerry 10 Camera. The BB10 Camera still lacks the features like setting the ISO and Stutter Speed as we could do in manual mode in even cheap Nokia Lumia Phones.
Is there by any chance possible for BlackBerry to introduce these advanced features to BlackBerry 10 Camera in future updates?

Settings for Substitution in SBWP Workflow Settings !!!!!

Hi Gurus,
I am using ECC 6.0 Basis Release 700. In our system, i observed that Multi-level delegation(substitution) is working like below:
Let us say A maintains B as substitute and B maintains C as substitute. If D is reporting to A in the Org. structure and sent an approval witem to A, it is coming to B, but not to C. But if D is reporting to B, then it is coming to C as well. From this what I understand is that the workitems for which B is supposed to act On Behalf of A, he cannot or not able to delegate or send them to his delegetee(here C).
Is this the way it is suppose to work ?. If yes, can anybody tell me where these settings are made / maintained.
Please rely to this urgent message with your valuable inputs.
Thanks in advance
venu

Yes, this is the way it is supposed to work. I think it is even documented specifically that substitutions are not "chained", but right now I am too lazy/busy to find the documentation for you.
Edited by: Kjetil Kilhavn on Dec 20, 2007 5:41 PM:
I don't think there's any standard functionality for preventing you from forwarding a work item you received as a substitute. It would contradict with the whole concept I believe. When you are a substitute you are filling in for someone, which means you should be able to do whatever the other person would be able to do.
Better solution: tell them you'll force them to use Windows Vista on a PC with 1 GB of RAM unless they quit forwarding everything. That ought to put the FOA (fear of administrator) in them.
