Olympus E-30 RAW shifted left and top - no more DNG workaround

Hi folks,
something very strange happens again, unfortunately:
Aperture shifts the Olympus RAW photos (.ORF) relatively to the JPG to left and top. Only E-30, but iPhoto and Aperture with same failure. Converting the ORF by Adobes DNG Converter was a workaround which was some additional effort but put RAW and JPG on the same coordinates back again, so all my E-30 RAWs where converted to DNG before imported into Aperture.
That fixed the shifting - but not any longer!
In the current version of Aperture (3.4.3) on Mountain Lion 10.8.2 all my photos become shifted again! So, Aperture does the same failure not only on the ORF, but now even with the DNG converted RAW!
There has been a discussion here, but no fix came along. Just the workaround, and that is broken now.
Any glue how to get the E-30 DNG converted RAWs processed with correct position?
Thanks a lot for your ideas,
Kai C.

Okay I've searched some more on the Aperture and iPhoto forums and cannot see similar queries. There are some that complain about the colour and others about the amount of sharpening, but nothing I can find like this - and you have to figure that if every E-30 owner suffered from the issue that s/he would be complaining.
That, to me, suggests that the issue may be local to your machine.
Does it occur in other User accounts?
Have you tried importing the Raws to another Mac for comparison.?

RAWs from Olympus E-30 shifted to left and top

Hi folks,
importing RAW from an Olympus E-30 shows some strange results: The photos are shifted to the left and upper by appr. 15 pixels. This content is lost, thereby offering some new content on the right and lower side. It looks like if the coordinates of origin are scrambled...?
For to check I used the camera setting "create /both/ JPG /and/ RAW" simultaneously, and compared the .jpg and .orf side by side.
This occurs on two different Macs, within iPhoto, Preview etc..
For comparison I tried an Olympus E-620 as well, all fine: .jpg. and .orf show exactly the same crop. Using the albeit not-so-usable Olympus Software works fine with the E-30 shots, may be as it converts the RAWs on its own.
So far the RAW from the E-30 is not usable at all on the Macs with the Mac's software, as composition of a photo usually starts in that edge which gets cut, left and top...
Any ideas what I can do? If you need example shots let me now!
Macs on Snow Leopard with all patches 10.6.7, iPhoto 9.1.2. The Olympus E-30 has the most current firmware 1.1.
Kind regards,
Kai

Aperture Olympus E-PL2 Raw Color Distortion and other issues

Hello there, Olympus Micro Four Thirds Fans!
So finally, Apple introduced Olympus E-PL2 Raw Support in Aperture 3. After some testing and troubleshooting there are still some issues remaining that sort of still leave the Raw option unusable for me:
The Apple Raw developer does not seam to read Olympus gradation curve settings properly. I usually leave the cameras color mode to "natural" which in JPEG gives the Olympus-typical beautiful documentary-style color accuracy. However, in Raw, colors get distorted in the most unpleasant way! Especially the greens get horribly oversaturated.
Noise reduction settings also are not correctly translated. I'm the type of Raw user who always wants to start from the camera settings chosen and who then wants to be able to tweak settings to perfection just a little bit. But all in all I chose an Olympus camera, because it does deliver superb white balance metering, decent noise reduction and beautiful color gradation right out-of-the-box.
SPEED! Aperture seems to be horribly horribly slow with Olympus .orf files. Lightroom is easily ten times faster in real-time developing of Raw files.
Did someone observe the same behaviour? How do you work around these issues, what is the best setup for the apple raw developer?
Greetings from Esslingen am Neckar!

Hi there!
I am now developing my raw files with Olympus Viewer. It is the only software solution that would deliver results close or identical to Olymus built in JPEG engine. Most of the time I need to get color reproduction that is as subtle and fine as the Olympus engine, but I do want to benefit from all the other postprocessing advantages that RAW has to offer.
Within Aperture I have not been able to get comparable color rendering.

Rounded corners, top left and top right

Hi
Hope you can help me, as I'm relatively new to PSE 9 , I'm trying to create nice rounded corners on the top right and top left of a new image in PSE 9
Please could you put me in the right direction to get me started.
Many thanks for your assistance.
Mike

You might try something like this:
1. Either duplicate the background layer or double click on the background
   so it's not locked.
2. Make your rulers visible (View>Rulers) and pull out four guides, one
   for each side of the image. (so the shape tools snap to the edges of your photo)
3. Select the Rounded Rectangle Tool (nested with the shape tools)
4. Set the radius of the corners and draw your shape on the photo.
5. Select the Rectangle Tool and set the option to Add to Shape Area
   and draw the rectangle on the bottom half of the photo.
6. Select the Shape Selection Tool and press the Combine button.
7. Move the shape layer below the photo layer in the layers panel, make the photo
    layer the active layer and go to Layer>Create Clipping Mask.

Hi, Just switched from CS6 to PS CC. I am used to using ACR in CS6 with it's preview checkbox in the upper right-hand corner. I do not see that checkbox in PS CC. I see that they have added side-by-side, right and left and top and bottom before and after

Hi,
Just switched from CS6 to PS CC. I am very comfortable using ACR in previous versions. I liked to use the preview checkbox located in the upper right-hand corner to see before and afters. That checkbox is no longer in my version of PS CC. I see that they have side-by-side, top and bottom and right and left before and after options in the lower right-hand corner in this version. Is there anyway to get that legacy preview checkbox back so that I can use it?

Hi Warunicorn,
Thank you very much. I just could not find it on my own. I will have more questions as I get into it.

Number shift left and shift right

Hi
Is there an arithmetic operator to divide a number by a 2^n (same as shifting right by n bits)
Example:
8 >> 2 => 4 <= 8/power(2,2)
8 << 1 => 16 <= 8*power(2,1)
Kind regards
Taoufik

I think it is an attempt to squeeze performance. On most CPUs using bit shifting to multiply or divide by powers of two will be much faster than using other arithmetic operations.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work this way in Oracle. C programmers will also be shocked to learn that arithmetics on NUMBER is much slower than on BINARY_FLOAT, even if the NUMBER is actually an integer.
Squeezing performance out of Oracle has to be done by looking at the places Oracle lets you squeeze performance (set operations for instance), and not where you used to squeeze performance out of a C program.
Remember that with PL/SQL you are about four layers above the hardware. In C, you might as well be writing assembly.

New LG Monitor Screen Image Keeps Shifting a few pixels left and right / goes into power save mode

I just purchased a new LG Computer Monitor from Best Buy today and hooked it up to my PowerMac computer. Shortly after setting it up, the entire screen image started sporadically shifting left and right a few pixels. And then, at seemingly random times, it'll shut itself down, going into power save mode. I checked the cables to make sure they were secure and they seem to be. Could there be some sort of interference that's causing it? Or would it be the graphics card? My computer is only a couple years old. Please help!

Do you have another computer you can plug the monitor into to test?

Olympus E-500 raw file problem with long exposures

Hi,
This topic has come up before, but wasn't resolved. Maybe its somewhere else, but I can't find it.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4994383&#4994383
Raw files from my Olympus E-500 with exposures over 3.2s come up with overexposed looking previews in Aperture. I think there is some automatic noise reduction (dark frame) info in these files, since they are 16.68Mb instead of the normal 13.47Mb. Apparently Aperture doesn't know what to do with these larger files.
Is there a known way around this within Aperture? The files open fine within Olympus Master 2 and Raw Photo Processor.
I've pasted a screen shot here with some links to raw files:

Yea, I've had that issue also and figured out the DNG workaround. Filed a bugreport with Apple on Nov 2nd, 2006. It sat with what looked like no attention right up until I got an e-mail on Oct 26th, 2007 (notice the date) saying that the issue was fixed in 10.5. I had already preordered Leopard so was hoping this was right. It wasn't. It's still borked. Logged notes back into the issue saying it wasn't.
Perhaps if more E-500 users report this it'll get more attention.

Problems with Lightroom 5.2 and Olympus EM-1 RAW files?

There have been reports on DPREVIEW of color problems using Lightroom 5.2 with RAW files from the Olympus OM-D EM-1 camera. This causes difficulty creating camera profiles, and creates a red shift in Images. JPG images are unaffected.
Anyone else seeing this?
When may we look forward to LR 5.3, hopefully with a fix?
Thanks............... Jack Winberg

The read me file from Adobe indicate that LR 5.2 has "preliminary" support for the Olympus EM-1 raw files.
I would make sure you keep your original raw files so they can be converted when the support is finalized. i.e. I would not convert to dng on import if that is your normal workflow.

Reports Shifting up and to the left (ignoring margins)

I am using reports server 10G.
If I run a reports via the browser with destype= default and paramform=yes and submit and print the report everything is good.
If I run the same reports via the broweser with destype=printer and paramform=no then the reports is shifted to the left and up. It is as if the report has a negative value for the top and left margins.
Any insight as to what would cause this behavior would be appreciated
Scott

It sounds like something is wrong with the trackpad. I would contact your carrier and see about a warranty replacement.

How do I create and header on the left and auto number pages on the top right? I can't rearrange my document by making page 10 page 5 and so forth

I've just completed my school report however I seem to be having difficulty with creating a header. I've managed to create the header for all pages in my document by however I also need to use APA style and insert page number on the top right hand corner of each page. I've chosen to auto number them and clicked on INSERT --AuTO PAGE NUMBERS however if I need to make changes to the page numbers, each change i make repeats on every page. Please help.
I also can't seem to rearrange my document. It's 10 pages long and i want to make page 10 page 1. I thought I could click on that page and drag it into page 1 position like in Keynote however it's not offering me that option. when i click on page 10 in my page thumbnails, all of my pages are highlighted yellow instead of that 1 particular page. what am I doing wrong? someone please help

You can chose to make left and right headers different in:
Inspector > Layout > Section
To move material the best solution is always to copy and paste the content where you want it. You can move sections however so:
click at end of page 9 > Menu > Insert > Section Break
You will then have a separate yellow border around the page 10 thumbnail and can drag it to the beginning.

Shift+scroll no longer scrolls left and right!!

I have a logitech mouse w/ a scroll wheel
I have always been able to hold down shift to get the scroll wheel to scroll left and right instead of up and down
and it's suddenly stopped working and I have no idea why
can anyone help?

I THINK this is related to installation of a new logitech bluetooth mouse driver
that stinks. a logitech driver should only control the logitech mouse. it shouldn't affect how other mice work with the OS

Hi, I upgraded my iphone 4 to iso 5 beta 6, but now it shows "No Service" at top left, and unable to complete your activation. Also tels that this device is not registered as part of the iphone developer programme. How could I fix this problem? Please..?

I had a similar occurrence with my just activated iPhone 4.
I had been using the phone for three days when an odd occurrence with voice mail caused me to call tech support. After some discussion they decided to push the activation to my phone (even though I had been using it for three days). When I went to power it back up again I repeatedly got the "no service" notification. I got tech support on a land line and we tried hard reboots and so on. No joy. They told me to take it in to the point of sale and either the SIM card or the phone needed (or both) needed replacing.
I tried one last hard reboot after dinner and the phone came up with service, but I took it in to the point of sale in the morning and they swapped the SIM card out and I went to a Genius Bar appointment to get the phone checked out. It is supposedly OK, but I am still having some problems when syncing it so I will have to visit the Genius Bar again tomorrow about that. At least I have not experienced the "no service" problem in the roughly 24 hours since the SIM card was replaced. (Fingers crossed)

The updated iPhoto program is cumbersome. I am trying to create a Christmas card and can't figure out how to get the fold of the card on the left and not on the top of the card. I had no trouble with this for the past two years. Can someone help?
