Optimal picture settings, calibrations, and adjustments for 65x850c?

Just got a new 65x850C TV this week. Any one have any recommended calibration settings? Thanks in advance

Thanks Frank.
I see what you are saying about IPhoto saving a different image (a jpeg in the Previews folder I presume) but I believe IPhoto does save the edits - as they always show in the Edit section for the modified photos (ie if I up the exposure by half a stop, IPhoto does somehow retain that info).
From an IPhoto point of view only, it is possible to look at any edited photo and:
1) make a note of all edits on the modified picture
2) revert to original (to get back to the raw file)
3) re-apply the exact same edit settings to generate the same adjustments on the raw pic.
My point is that both raw and adjustments information are available in IPhoto and I was really expecting the importing process from IPhoto to Aperture to be more clever in a similar fashion:
1) make a note of all edits on the modified picture (from IPhoto)
2) Import the RAW version into IPhoto
3) re-apply the exact same edit settings (mapped from IPhoto edits to Aperture adjustments) to generate the same adjustments, on the raw pic, in Aperture - thus creating a single version containing the IPhoto adjustments but based on a Raw master.
To be honest, the way Apple "sells" how easy it is to move from IPhoto to Aperture and retain all the editing effort is a bit misleading to my taste based on the above... And with all the hangs/crashes I have been experiencing with Aperture (my machine is very stable otherwise - even IPhoto with a 100GB+ library never crashes), I feel quite let down with Aperture.
Do you know if a script would allow to apply the steps that I described above?
Thanks,
Jeremie

TS1424 Some recent Downloads of movies or tv programmes with Apple TV have picture but screeching and crackling for sound.

Some recent Downloads of movies or tv programmes with Apple TV 2 have picture but screeching and crackling for sound. I had downloaded a programme from a series which WAS fine,then a subsequent download of another episode in the same series ruined the 1st. Does anyone know what is wrong? I have also download some free programmes since then and the sound is fine on those.

Save Part of Front Panel as picture - sharing VI and asking for advices

Hi,
I use LabVIEW 8.2.1. (DSC&RT),
It is common (at my work) that we want to save some parts of the Front Panel and to add it to the LogBook.
we usually do PrintScreen and then cut the picture to the boundaries we want using 'Paint'.
I have created a simple procedure that makes it easier and the user can now select the boundaries of the picture at the Front Panel.
You can see the 2 VI's attached, (try2.vi is a sub vi of try.vi)
Open 'try.vi' and press 'select boundaries' button and drag the boudaries with your mouse,
after you have selected the boudaries, press 'save picture' button.
I hope there are no bugs.
Originally I have wanted to use drag and drop, but i didn't really understand what is going on behind the scenes
when I used it.
For example - look at the example (at NI Example Finder at LabVIEW) 'Drag and Drop - Multiple Data Types to Start Drag.vi'
(C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\examples\general\dragdrop\Drag and Drop - Multiple Data Types to Start Drag.vi)
(or via typing 'drop' in at the NI Example Finder search)
1. I don't understand how the 'Drag and Drop Data' (located at the Application Control Palette)
2. I don't understand the inside terminals of the Event Structure of 'Drag Enter' and 'Drop' -
    for example - 'available data names' and 'accepted?'
   where can I get information help written about any of the Event Structure inside terminals?
   (it does not appear in the Context Help when I enter with the mouse)
3. Do you have any comments on the VI I did ?
4.I am planning to use this VI as a part of Log-In data to a follow-up LogBook Using Mysql as Database and NI sql connectivity toolkit,
   so users will be able to insert information to the LogBook from the Front Panel, and attach pictures of the Front Panel.
Did anyone here has performed anything similar ?
If you send me corrections of someting or any other NI item, please send it in a version that I can see it (I use Labview 8.2.1 DSC&RT)
Sincerely Yours,
Amitai Abramson.

There are examples that come with the database connectivity toolkit so you are going to have to be more specific about your question. Whether you call it a logbook or something else, it's still a database and a database write is a pretty generic opertation. If you need help in the design of the database, then you should say that is what you need.
The event data is going to change depending on the event and the type of control. Again, do you have a specific question?

?Optimal Photoshop settings for slideshow-iMovie then iDVD

I know that there are many posts about file size and pixel size for optimizing photos prior to importing into iMovie or iDVD. I have read many of them, including many of them by Karl Petersen, but have been disappointed by the quality of the photos when viewed on the final DVD on my television. The problem I have it that almost ALL of my photos are portrait style and not landscape. A lot of the discussions center around avoiding pillarboxes, which I cannot avoid with vertical pictures
All of the photos are shot RAW on a Nikon D70 and imported into Photoshop.
Can anyone make recommendations on the optimal photoshop settings for creating the files to import for a slideshow in iDVD.
Specifically, in Photoshop, for vertically oriented pictures, what would be the recommendation for:
1) File size and best way to control that in Photoshop. Should I increase the file size on the original RAW image import? (I currently use the 2000x3008 6MP default)
2) Should each photo be cropped to an exact size or can I keep a specific aspect ratio instead?
3) Should I use a pixel aspect ratio other than normal? (These will all be viewed in the US )
4) Should the photos be imported into iMovie first and go through KB (even with no zooming) or can they go into iDVD?
Many Thanks!!!
Dual 1.42 MHz G4, 2 GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.7) iMovieHD 6.0.2, iDVD 6.0.2

Since posting the test I suggested you run, Alesse, I've done some testing of my own, with some interesting results. They aren't going to help you much, I'm afraid, but they might shed some light on the whole process of making slideshows.
I do everything I can to maximize image quality in iMovie slideshows. Then I've wondered what affect iDVD has on the result.
So today I played the same slideshow from three sources. One version from the camera, one version from iDVD and one version from a Digital Video Recorder (DVR).
First I created a slideshow where the same photos were imported four different ways, each as a four 4-second clip. The test used rather simple photos, 1600x1200 jpegs, about 500k each, from an old Nikon Coolpix 950.
The images were delivered to the iMovie four ways:
1) I imported the sequence of images into QuickTime Player, then saved that as two DV streams, one Progressive and one Interlaced. These were dropped into the Media folder as described above. iMovie "adopted" them when I re-opened the project. (They were NOT imported by iMovie.)
2) I imported the same images with Ken Burns ON (but with no animation); and
3) I imported the same images with Ken Burns OFF.
The four clips of each image were arranged side-by-side on the Timeline, so I could easily compare their quality while played on the TV.
(The images were selected to include those that are easy to encode by iDVD and images difficult to encode — having lots of high-contrast lines like roof lines, lap-siding on buildings, telephone lines, the kind of content that tends to acquire the "jaggies". I avoided the bug where iMovie adds jaggies if you grant it permission to render UNrendered images as you export the project to iDVD or to the camera.)
I wanted to compare the quality of three kinds of slideshows:
1) the slideshow played from the camera;
2) the slideshow burned by iDVD and
3) the slideshow burned by a standalone DVR.
To make the three slideshows, I did this:
1) used iDVD to burn a DVD of the iMovie project;
2) exported the iMovie slideshow project back to the camera; and
3) connected the camera to a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) and burned a DVD on the DVR. This was so I could compare the quality of iDVD to a DVR recording.
Then I connected the camera to the TV so I could compare it, in turn, to each of the DVDs. Because each image played for a total of 16 seconds, I was able to play both the DVD and the camera simultaneously and switch the TV back and forth between the two inputs to compare the image quality of the camera to a DVD.
RESULT
• The camera image was superior in all respects to both the DVDs, as one would expect. Considerably better. There were virtually no jaggies. Subtler colors. Less contrast. iMovie 6 was obviously delivering the goods. Great quality, on every clip.
• At first I thought the DVR image was better than the iDVD image, but reconsidered that later. Each had its own positive qualities. There was little difference. Each was slightly better in some respects than the other, worse in others. It was basically a wash. Both had about the same amount of jaggies, sometimes in different places.
• Another interesting result was that all the clips — from all four sources — played basically the same on the camera and on the two DVDs. There was very little difference among the four import methods. (I expected more difference.)
• There WAS an obvious difference among clips played in iMovie, however. The DV stream exported as a DV Progressive movie displayed with better quality in iMovie itself. The difference wasn't huge, but it was sharper, more "life-like".
• It is obvious that encoding an iMovie project to the MPEG-2 format used by a DVD — whether by iDVD or by a DVR — sacrifices quality. You won't notice it much on some images — flowers, faces, landscapes — but you will see jaggies on others.
• When the test was over, I watched a DVD slideshow of the same images I had burned a few weeks ago containing three iMovie widescreen formats: DV Widescreen, 720p, and 1080i. It was a close call, but I think they were all slightly better than the DV slideshow. Some images, especially, were better.
CONCLUSIONS
If you want the best playback quality possible, use the camcorder to play the slideshow on the TV, not a DVD.
To avoid the jaggies, it may be necessary to avoid certain photos. It's hard to tell which those are until you play the DVD on a TV. Plan to burn a DVD, then purge the images that acquire bad jaggies and burn it again.
Softening the TV picture can help. My TV offers a tremendous range of sharpness, a feature common to new TVs.
• My guess is that until we can burn Hi-Def DVDs, our huger and huger TVs are going to make the problem of DVD quality worser and worser. My slideshows would probably all look great on yesterday's "huge" 20" TV.
• I don't have DVD Studio Pro to test. Perhaps someone can compare that too?
Anyway, I hope something here helps.

What are the settings for apn data and mms for iphone 4 on straight talk?

what are the settings for cellular data network APN DATA and MMS for Straighttalk sims on IPhone 4?I cant send or recieve pictures.My service keeps losin signal constantly saying no service then 1 bar,2 bars,3 bars...then back down to no service.It drops calls.Iv been trying to find out the answer to this problem for 2 weeks!I have no Profile selection in my settings either to do wat its showing online on one website.and have entered numerous diffrent APNs and none have worked!!!!PLEASE HELP!!!

They're asking a question about carrier settings for their iPhone. I think that has everything to do with Apple.
Maybe they did already ask Straight Talk. I've called Straight Talk before... they're not too helpful.
You know, this forum would be much friendlier if people in this forum would quit squabbling, & posting comedic replies, not too mention name calling (like I did), when people are just needing some help.
It's also frustrating that people stick up for the guy who doesn't help, but rather takes the time to post some smart alec reply. Granted, I shouldn't have name-called... some people just frustrate me when they act like that.
Admittedly, there ARE some grey areas when it comes to carrier questions... but let the moderators do their job when someone is asking innappropriate stuff. And if the mods aren't chiming in, then that's a good indication that what the thread is about IS in fact Apple related.

I have an older version of imovie. After I change the photos using the Ken Burns effect and save them, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' to change the zoom, the picture appears black and I can't change the zoom?

I have a five year old version of imovie that generally works fine. However, when I add a photo using the 'Ken Burns' effect then save the movie, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' the picture appears black and I cannot change the zoom. Any suggestions?

Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
See here:

Let us know how that works for you.

Saving sets of adjustments for later and/or multiple use?

Hi,
I'd like to create a small library of numerous personal sets of adjustments for easy later use with other photos (taken with the same camera). What's the best way to do this?
I have found these instructions https://discussions.apple.com/message/12955195#12955195 but they seem to work only within the same editing session and with an examplary photo present from which I can copy the adjustments to other photos.
(I am sorry if I have overlooked a trivial solution; I am still a newbee to aperture...)
Thanks for any help,
Joe

Joe,
that post you linked to shows indeed the easiest way to do it:
you can create an album containing sample image versions showing the adjustments to want,
give those image versions suitable names, like color-adjustment-morning-light
and whenever you want that particular adjustment lift it from the sample image - this works not only in one session, you can lift the same adjustment again and again in years to come.
A second way to do it would be to define an "Adjustment Preset" in the Adjustments tab of the Inspector panel.
After settng the correct parameetr settings for your adjustment click the "Presets" drop down menu and select "Save adjustment" and name it. You can group your adjustment by using the "Edit" menu entry.
Good Luck

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Custom Picture Settings for Insignia 42" NS-L42Q-10A

Does anyone wish to share their custom picture settings (contrast, brightness etc.) for the Insignia 42" NS-L42Q-10A? The vivid default is to bright, so I have been trying to come up with a custom setting and would like to hear what has worked for other owners.
Thanks.

Well, it turns out that I neglected to include a critical piece of info in my post. This behavior was occuring when using my Harmony 550 remote with the Insignia TV.
I tested the behavior with the remote that came with the TV and the settings were saved. So I went to change the settings on my Harmony remote when I discovered Logictech had a software update that included the Insignia TV. Installing that update fixed the issue.
And in case anyone else reads this, I am very pleased with this television set. I had to learn a few things about HDTV first though to get everything out of it that it offers.

On my iPhone 4s, I sent a picture via email and asked to size it down. However, it seems now that the pic stored on my iphone is now forever the smaller size which is not suitable for printing. Is there any way to get the larger size back?

sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

What Comp Settings are Best/Flexible for Animated Tutorials 4 Multiple Devices laptop, iPad, and TV?

I'm making animated tutorials on a particular subject. I will have these on a website and want them to be viewable on devices ranging from laptops to iPads to TV to iPhones. I believe one approach to setting my Comp Settings for AE is to use a Preset like HDV/HDTV 720 which results in 1280x 720 pixels, 720 pixel resolution, square pixels, and a 16:9 ratio. The advantage, as I understand it, is that it will work for HDTV and that, if I use something like YouTube, horizontal letterboxing will be the result in a 4:3 format (of course, with black lines top and bottom).
Unfortunately, this seems to make great sense if the content is, say, from video photography of scenes. My content is animation and enough text at times to make me think horizontal letterboxing will make that text too small to read... that I will sacrifice some content and quite a bit of readability in such horizontally letterboxed setups. Am I better off sticking with Comp settings at, say, a 4:3 ratio and accepting the "black pillars" on wide devices? If so, what should my resolution be and what should the absolute width and absolute height be in pixels? 640x480? 1280x960? Something else? My main concern hear is that I have enough pixels and resolution so that inages remain clear on TV.
Anything you can enlighten me on here will be greatly appreciated. Is there a great discussion/tutorial on this somewhere? Because I'm having the growing creepy sensation that the more movies I make, the more "fixing" I'm going to be needing to do when I start up my website. Please pull this thorn out of my paw! Thanks in advance!

Thanks Bogie san! This is a big help to getting me started. And the link got me a little farther into Media encoder as well as Group of Pictures, intra-frame, and inter-frame.
One more related question... which will no doubt look simple (minded) but have an answer fraught with complexity.
If you were me (don't panic!), and you're making animated tutorials in AE with lots of illustration (some created in Illustrator and some in After Effects) and a significant amount of text from time to time (e.g., sometimes there are several boxes with, say, five English words in them, plus some drawings in the same frame with the boxes so that, although the frames are not cluttered, I also do not have the option of extremely large font sizes)...
...AND you believe most of your users will view from laptops, from LCD desktop monitors, and from iPads and the like (not iPhones so much)... with HDTV being something you view as an option it would be "just nice to have" though not necessary...
...what parameters would you choose when you set up your AE files?
As a straw example, lets say I select 640 x 480 (4/3 pixel ratio) because I think, rightly or wrongly, that would be good on YouTube. Should I double each number, keeping the 4/3 ratio? Do nothing? Do something different? What about pixel resolution? Am I worrying about this too much?
And, yes, I did pay attention when you said, "That's not an After Effects topic." I'm just not saavy enough yet to know what that really means.
Thanks in Advance,
Road Quill
