Olympus E-P1 Raw Import Question

Hi, just a quick question for those of you importing RAW files from your Oly E-P1:
Does Aperture perform the lens distortion correction function on the files as part of the RAW conversion process? Or do I have to run them through Olympus Master first and then import TIFF files?
I presently use A2.5 and only need to upgrade to A3 if I can take the RAW files in directly without using Olympus Master.
Thanks!

Looking at this page OS X Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats the Olympus PEN E-P3 is show as supported by 10.7.2 so a few last things I can think to try:
One is to do the steps listed in Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics. Doesn;t seem like this would be a library problem but you never know and the procedures don;t take much time.
Would be to create a new library and try to import a RAW file into that just to try and narrow down where the problem is.
Would be to create a new user on your system, log in as that user, run Aperture and try to import a RAW file for the same reason.
Would be to post RAW file on the net somewhere like dropbox so one of us could test it out on our systems to see if it behaves any differently.
Finally a call to Apple to find out whats going on.
good luck
regards

Olympus E-P3 Raw Support Question

I recently purchased an Olympus E-P3. I thought that Aperture supported Raw format with this camera (at least according to Apple's own statements, it is supposed to be supported). But I loaded photos from my Olympus into Aperture and it just gave me a message that there were unsupported files and it did not import any of the raw files.
So, does Aperture 3 support Olympus Raw or not? I read in other places that people were having to manually tell Aperture to reprocess files and somehow that worked. But I thought Raw support meant that raw files would upload directly into Aperture.
What exactly does "raw support" mean if Aperture doesn't recognize Olympus ORF files?
Thanks.

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.

Bug in Crop tool with Olympus E-M5 raw files (ORF)

There is a bug in the crop tool with Olympus OM-D E-M5 RAW files (ORF) that is still not fixed with the recent update. Here is how to reproduce the problem.
I setup my E-M5 camera picture aspect ratio to 3:2 (instead of the sensor 4:3) and file format to RAW.
I take a picture.
I import the picture in Lightroom. The first thumbnail I see is the full sensor, then Lightroom computes a new thumbnail and correctly display the 3:2 crop factor.
I select the picture in the library and press [R] to bring the Crop tool.
BUG: The Crop tool does not let me recover the full 4:3 sensor image and is locked to the 3:2 crop factor.
Can this be fixed? Thanks

Are you sure you mean Photoshop version 6 the is a very old version of Photoshop before ACR existed. ACR first became available as a extra cost plug-in for Photoshop version 7. ACR started to be shipped with Photoshop with Photoshop CS. Each version since Photoshop CS has a newer version of ACR which is not compatible with older versions of Photoshop. So
CS ACR version is 2.4
CS2 ACR version 3.7
CS3 ACR version 4.6
CS4 ACR version 5.7
CS5 ACR version 6.7
CS6 and CC ACR version 8.4 however the new features in ACR 8.4 for CC are crippled in CS6. CS6 just get the new Camera support.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=39&platform=Windows
If you have CS6 use menu help>Updates it should find the ACR 8.4 for CS6 and update your installation. If it does not you can down load it and the DNG converter. However don't convert to DNG just use your OFR RAW files.
http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2014/04/camera-raw-8-4-and-dng-converter-8-4-now-a vailable.html
If you do mean Photoshop version 6 you need to see if Olympus has a RAW converter for Photoshop version 6 for your camera.

Raw Import Preview from EOS 30d

Hi All,
I've got a question regarding RAW importing from a Canon EOS 30D. There are no previews only blank boxes with the image no. at the bottom. If I'm importing jpegs from the camera it's fine I can see the preview image. Also, is it possible to tell Aperture not to import duplicate images? Kind of like iphoto does where it gives you the option of ignoring images on the card that are already in the library.
cheers
M.

Mike,
Thanks for your response. The camera was directly
connected to my MBP in both instances (with Aperture
and Lightroom). I do, however, have a SanDisk card
reader on order. Will see if that makes a difference.
Just an update: got the card reader yesterday and did a couple of RAW shoots to test-import previews showed up right away. Hopefully this has fixed the problem.

Raw Import Bug

I'm having some real trouble with Aperture 3's RAW conversion. I spent hours setting up my studio for bright, happy, headshots. On my camera, the photos look perfect, exactly as I want, and the brightness makes her skin smooth and radiant. When I import the RAW into Aperture 3, they look like the photo on the right - dark, and oversaturated. The skin looks terrible, the hair is dark, it's just all wrong. I know Aperture admits that for my Nikon D700 camera it converts my raws 0.1 darker than it should (which to me is unacceptable). But why do I spend so much time perfecting my lighting if Aperture ruins the files on import?
My question is - is there any way to reset my RAW import options to be Aperture 2?
I should note that in Aperture 3, when I try to edit a photo to make it look more like I want it to look, it comes out terribly contrasty, I loose highlight detail quickly. It's also overstaturated so when I adjust the exposure, her skin looks a bit too yellow. This is a lot of adjustment to apply to the 800 images I took of her, especially considering I photographed her exactly how I wanted.

Your camera is showing you, on a very small display, a small JPG conversion done by its internal computer. It is never going to look like the default converted-from-RAW-on-a-computer-and-displayed-on-a-good-monitor version of the photo.
The better comparison would be between default RAW conversions done by Aperture, by Nikon's own software, and by an Adobe product. In all cases, however, you should see more detail, including more subtle gradations across similar areas, and a broader (or more filled-in) luminance range.
Personally, I'd much much much prefer to have the image on the right to work with (of the two you supplied). I don't know why you aren't able to get it to look like the in-camera JPG. If you do, however, applying the same settings to 800 Images is very easy in Aperture (create and apply a Preset, or Lift & Stamp). Processing studio shots should be quick work because the conditions of the exposure are controlled and identical for multiple exposures.
As I see it, you have a few practical choices:
Use the JPGs created in-camera. If they work, this eliminates several steps in your workflow.
Use Nikon's (or other) RAW converter to create TIFF files, and import those into Aperture
Learn how to set up the studio lighting so you get the RAW (and converted-from-RAW) results you want. Your goal isn't to light the subject so it looks right on the back of the camera -- your goal is to light the subject so your developed pictures look the way you want them to.
Figure out an Adjustment Preset in Aperture that gives you what you want. Aperture has robust tools for changing the look of your photos. If you post a RAW, some of the forum members here (myself included) are likely to essay adjusting it to your specifications (which, of course, you should provide).
Change the settings for RAW conversion in Aperture. This, imho, is least likely to help you in the long run.
I'm sure there are other ways 'round this RAW boulder -- those are just the ones that occur to me.
Good Luck.

How to import questions into Captivate 4 from a delimited file

I'm looking
a way to import questions from a delimited text file (or excel spreadsheet)
into captivate.
All the questions are simple multiple choice, single answer, four selections per question.
I have hundreds - I'd hate to have to retype them all in one at a time.
Thanks in advance
-Joan

Does anyone know if this is a feature in Captivate 5.
Other things I would really like to see in Captivate 5.
Importing and Exporting the graded quiz/test content out of captivate into another
application/ form. Such as xml, tab delimited, excel spreadsheet,
Adobe pdf, Word document or another format. Our current content
developement systems allows us to (when publishing) do this.
1> exclude questions from the Published content
(exclude section questions, or final test content)
2> produce different test versions from question banks
3> Produce a PDF paper test for when we want to train in a classroom setting
4> Select which questions we want to produce
5> Import questions from a pre-defined format. To note: when we do this the system also makes us define a unique interaction id so that the import will update existing questions.
I know this will NOT work for some of the more sophisticated questions, But for the simple Mulitple choice, true/false, fill in the blank. etc..
THIS WOULD BE A GREAT FEATURE..
It would also be NICE TO HAVE THE abiliy to PROFILE versions of the SAME Course WITH OUT REPRODUCING / DUPLICATING / REPEATING THE ENTIRE COURSE PRESENTATION.
Such as
"INSTRUCTOR TAUGHT TRAINING"
"WEB TRAINING"
"PAPER TEST A"
"PAPER TEST B"
ETC...
LASTLY: if we can not export the QUIZ content. Can an excel spreadsheet LIKE INTERFACE be used to edit certain aspects of the questions.
Such as the InteractionId which is sent to the LMS ('cmi.interactions.0.id'). My developer team says it is real difficult and time consuming
to track down interactionIds and then maintain them in a perfect way.
Thanks,

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.

RAW import parameters in external service

Hi all,
I'm extending an application that has been written by somebody else.
I need to connect to an RFC using CAF external services.
In this RFC one of the input parameters (GUID) is of the type RAW. When I import an external service (based on this RFC) into the NWDS. I then add is as a dependencie to my Application service, generate a webservice of my application service, build and deploy the CAF project.
When I now go the the wsnavigator, open my application service and select the operation I want to test. I fill in the paramters and send submit but the RAW import parameter GUID is not being passed on to my RFC.
In fact when I look at the SOAP message that is being sent, the GUID parameter is empty (it fills in 'AA==' while I inserted '4A53589C71132123E10000009959C278' as value).

I think this has something to do with the conversion of the input field to the RAW dataformat. Does anybody know how I can solve this?

Aperture 3.1.3 and Olympus E-PL2 RAW files

Hi all;
I'm using Aperture 3.1.3 on a mid-2010 MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz, 8 gig RAM. OS is OS X 10.7
My new Olympus E-PL2 RAW files (.ORF) do not seem to be compatible, despite Apple indicating that they are supported. The corresponding DNG files produce the same error message. Whenever I try to export or use a plug-in, I get the following message:
Editing Error
This image cannot be renedered for editing
because Aperture does not support the image format.
Does anyone have any recommendations for fixing this issue?
Thanks!!
Tim

Hi Tim,
I'm running a similar configuration (hardware and camera) and I'm able to edit RAW in Aperture/Lion. Do you have all other s/w maintainance applied?
Only problem I've seen since Lion is problems with images not on the MBP, in particular my NAS library is no inaccessible.

MEGA180 Important Questions

I have my MEGA180 on order but I already have some important questions:
1) This unit provides dual vga outputs. If I install my own AGP 8x card, will the VGA2 output still work? I read in the manual that installing an AGP card will disable VGA1 (default) but it doesn't say anything about the 2nd VGA output connector. I require 2 outputs since I will be connecting to an LCD and my HDTV monitor (using a VGA to Component Video Transcoder)
2) Will there be performance hits by using the two vga outputs at the same time?
3) The on-board video card doesn't have any video memory. It will use your existing DDR memory. I will have 512Meg Dual Channel Memory. What kind of performance I can expect from the built-in video card (NVidia NForce Crush18) compared to other AGP cards on the market?
Thanks for your help!
Sly

Though I can not provide you with answers specific to the Mega 180, I can give you some more info.
1) No. As soon as you install an AGP card, the onboard video will be fully disabled from within the BIOS. This is an nForce2 chipset setting. So make sure to get an AGP card with 2xVGA (as most cards have nowadays).
2) No or not much. Using an nForce2 MoBo myself I haven't encountered performance loss using both VGA outputs.
3) There's no way to compare the onboard video to an AGP card. AGP cards will have a far out better perfomance then the onboard video. But compared to other onboard video solutions around, like Xtreme Graphics, the nForce solution is far better and has far better performance.
It all depends on what you will be doing with the MegaPC. If you're a gamer, get an AGP card. If you want to use it as an HTPC, keep with the onboard nForce2 solution. There's no need for extra here since the nForce2 chipset is great. Onboard sound from this chipset is also great. Try it out before spending $ on an AGP card you don't need.
Hope this helped a bit.

E-Recruiting important questions

I'm implementing the E-Recruiting and I have two important questions for this Project:
1 - The business want to capture mobility (willingness to relocate / travel) at the time of position application. Is there a standard field for store this information?
2 - Recruitment would like to be informed about a critical process, in others words, the requisition doesnu2019t compete with other priorities. How can I handle this situation?
Thanks in advance!!!
Sivani

Hi Sivani,
Questionnaire answers are stored in IT5141. They are visible to the Recruiters when viewing the Candidates and can be used in rankings. You can also decide for which positions this questionnaire would be required and which not.
Do not see a standard field to create a priority when creating a Requisition. We added many fields, such as "eligibility for employee referral", so it can be added. However, letting managers set the priorities could be a problem with each manager thinking his/her opening is most important.

The specifications will be similar for the production for abotu 25 - 30 users (10 concurrent), with RAM being a little bumped up.
One important question: I might need guidance on installing 32 bit planning or FDM on the 64 bit server - any known issues with this? Also any known issues with 64 bit Essbase working with 32 bit Planning?
Edited by: EssbaseApprentice on Sep 30, 2010 10:04 AM

obviously its hard to comment on whether it is the perfect spec for your environment, it looks alright to me, it is not under spec.
For the web tier as you are running reporting and analysis and the other machines are windows based personally I would stick with windows 2003.
Is there any reason why you have one machine dedicated just to FDM, seems a bit of an overkill just for one product, it may be worth combining services server 2 with FDM, just a suggestion though

Important Questions to ask when developing in Workflow

Hello All,
I have two questions.
I am not a Workflow developer, but I've been asked to find out information about creating a Workflow process.
Here is what <b>I</b> need to know: What are important questions to ask the end-user when creating a workflow. What needs to be taken into consideration?
Here is an example of the kind of thing we need to do:
Send an email on a weekly basis to different Project Managers a Summary of Project Charges = (maybe CN41?)
Each Project Manager will have different requirements, so I guess one question will be: "What info do you want from this report?". What else do I need to know?
My second question is this: I should be able to output this as an Excel, correct? How much can I customize this? I haven't done much SAP -> Excel work. Only when I go to System -> List -> Save -> Local File ->Spreadsheet.
Thanks for the help.
Don Fields

Hello Don!
WF is quite a complex topic and someone could write a book to answer your questions - actually there is already a good book available -> check: Practical Workflow for SAP
http://www.sap-press.com/product.cfm?account=&product=H950
Looking at your example their might not even be a need for a workflow but rather a job that runs periodically to send the required information via email to project managers.
Workflow is mostly used if user actions are required e.g. confirm, approve, reject a request or notifications need to be sent to someone after an event or user action occured.
Check this link for getting more information on how to download data to excel:
