Options for Scaling up (PRESERVE DETAIL in CC)

Hello!
I have textures that are 4,000x5000, that will end up being scaled up in a doc maybe 7k x 10k.
I've done 2 different methods before.
1) copy over the texture layer and just transform>scale
2) convert to smart object then scale via transform
Now I'm wondering if now in CC with the new upscale setting PRESERVE DETAIL in the Image size dialog, if I would have better upscale quality, prescaling each texture up?
Do you know if Preseve Detail scaling is available in any other transform mode?
I ask because the final output will go to 40x60"
Thanks.

do you think some of the other upsampling applications or 3rd party plug-ins still add value at least with certain image content compared to this new feature?
Short answer (and I hope this doesn't make the other vendors feel bad)...
The Adobe feature seems to completely eliminate the usefulness of Alien Skin Blow Up.
It seems to supersede Perfect Resize about 80% of the time. There are still some nature images that Perfect Resize can lend a more natural or more detailed look to, precisely because of the artifacts of the algorithms.
I have to agree with what Chris has said, though... Photoshop's produces the least artifacts, while still keeping the detail. What it does for me in astroimaging... Nice.
And yes, upscaling with the new algorithm does affect all pixel layers.

Photoshop CC doesn't have "preserve details" resampling option available?

I am a Creative Cloud member, and have downloaded all of the products and they are all up to date currently. The issue I have is, I see all these people using a new resampling setting called "Preserve Details". They go Image ------> Image Size, and then the window pops up. Now their window already looks different then mine. Mine looks like it did in CS4, theirs has an image preview inside the window, plus they have another resampling option available to them. Why doesn't my have this option?
I have tried to upload an image to show you what I mean, but I am unable to upload via my computer, and yes it is the correct size (>450 pxs wide by >500 pixels tall, 131 KB).

As you have probably guessed, I have access to a copy prior to the release, and I've been cleared to show off the new features.
This new upsampling feature also has a quite good noise reduction capability integrated into the upsampling process as well.
Note, for example this progression. The first screenshot shows a "Nearest Neighbor" preview, because I have the mouse button clicked on the preview, while the second and third show previews of how the upsampled result will look with no noise reduction, and with quite a lot of noise reduction, respectively...

It's in the article. You must first sign-out your current account, then go to App store to purchase a Free App. It will ask you to either Sign in or create a new AppleID. That's when you start creating a new AppleaID and NONE will be available as a payment option.

Detail on High Availability options for Web Apps

Hi,
I do really struggle to locate actual information on Azure Availability offerings / capabilities...as an Infrastructure Architect it has bugged me for years now with Azure offerings!
Something that simply states the availability within any local DC and options for true HA over 2 or more DC's.
We are moving away from using Web Roles to Web Apps for solutions for our clients. I understand the principles of fault domains, etc. with Web Role requirements for min. of 2 to (mostly) avoid MS update disruption within a single DataCenter, but cannot locate
similar info. with regard to Web Apps.
Really appreciate if someone could point me to some appropriate detail as I've failed....
(Also, cannot find anything on DocumentDB....)
Many Thanks,
Lee

Hi,
High Availability of a running service always comes with a cost, and priorities will be app-specific. If it's the web tier, then you may indeed want to consider hosting in multiple geo's. If it's a backend processing tier, sometimes it's "ok" to
let a service go offline, as long as requests are queued up. If it's the storage system (preventing queueing of messages), perhaps an alternate queue in a different data center could be available for redundancy purposes.
I would request you to check this article:

Hope this information helps.

How to disable Details option for a Document in KM?

Hi,
   I had created a Folder by enabling Versioning and Lifetime ,under public documents and i had uploaded a word file under that folder.I had given read permissions to the other user .He is able to open the document with read permission and is able to see the version of the document.Now for the user whom i have given read rights should be able to acess only current version document and he should not be able to see the previous versions(Details->Settings->Versions).
     I want to disable the "Details" option for a document for the user to whom i had given read Rights.if possible i want to deavtivate the "Down Arrow" mark which guides the user to see the options like (Details,feedback,rating,send to,create link etc)
    Please guide me in this issue.

Hi,
Let's first create our custom layoutset:
We will duplicate the ConsumerExplorer layoutset.
goto System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Content Management.
Select User Interface -> Settings -> Layout Set.
Find ConsumerExplorer, check it and click Advanced Copy.
Uncheck Collection Renderer Settings and Resource Renderer Settings leaving only UI Command Groups checked.
select Group Levels to Copy: All, Add "my_" As Prefix and execute.
You have created a new layout set called my_ConsumerExplorer.
Now we need to copy the versions command.
Navigate back to User Interface -> Commands -> UI Commands. find the command versions. Check it and click Duplicate. give it the name my_versions, leave the rest as is and add to the Roles with Visibility the roles you want to be able to see this command. for example: "pcd:portal_content/administrator/super_admin/super_admin_role" for super admin role. Save the new command.
Now navigate to UI Command Groups, find my_DetailsSettingsSecondGroup and click edit. in the Command List find versions and change it to my_vesions and save.
Now all you have left is to change the layoutset of the iView.
goto Content Administration -> Portal Content. Navigate to your iView, open it, find the property Layout Set and change its value to my_ConsumerExplorer. Save.
Now test it to see if it works.

Publish+Share best option for fast action AVI 1920x1080 29.97?

I want to play my movie on an HDTV from my laptop or USB drive. What is the best option for Publish+Share?
I don't need to preserve layers for future re-edits and smaller file size is better but not if it's at the expense of playback quality.
Should I choose Computer or Disk? Pros and cons?
Should I choose MPEG or AVCHD? Pros and cons?
Which version of 1080? Pros and cons?
Is there a detailed listing of the Publish+Share options?

Seems like there are 4 "best options" - can anyone advise further?

Add option for lossless uncompressed RAW files for A7r

I'd like to see the option for lossless, uncompressed RAW files for those of us who want it vs. the current situation of only having the option of lossy compressed RAW files (which in some instances, can exhibit posterization). I think this is a logical option for a camera of the A7r's calibre. If this option can be incorporated via firmware update, all the better. If it's a hardware issue, hopefully this is addressed in the next iteration of the camera.

Honestly, this is pretty deceitful marketting on both the Sony A7 and A7R literature. both promote the use of 14 bit RAW encoding as a feature of the two sony cameras, however, they are really 11 bit + 7 bit compressed lossly RAW formats, delivering no where close to the same tonality of 14 bit true RAW. in no sony literature that i could find, is it mentioned that it's lossly. this is accurate? Not even close. 14-bit RAW output for rich tonal gradation 14-bit RAW image data of extremely high quality is outputted by the a7. This data fully preserves the rich detail generated by the image sensor during the 14-bit A/D conversion process. When developed with Sony's Image Data Converter RAW development software, these images deliver the superb photographic expression and rich gradation that only 14-bit data can offer. I was going to purchase two A7R bodies and move my canon gear over to Sony ..until really all this came out. I'm hoping as well as the OP that a firmware upgrade comes out.

I have to update all my application in my App Store however they are asking for the credit card details since this is to update only. Even to download some free games still they are asking my credit card details since it is a free. Please help me..

I have 11 updates in my App Store but every time I click the update they ask first my apply ID that would be fine but after they will ask my credit card details since this is only to update. Please help me.
Also, even I would like to download some games it's ok to ask for our Apple ID but in the second time they will ask for the credit card details. Please help me

My younger brother had the same problem. You have to go into settings, app store, details and then change your credit card details to none. If there is no none option, you will have to use a different apple id.

Office 2013 removed grammar & writing style options for Portuguese (Brazil) language

The pt-br (Portuguese - Brazil) proofing tools for Office 2010 included many grammar options but apparently these have been removed in Office 2013. Pt-pt (Portuguese - Portugal) still retains these options for some reason. I asked about this issue on the
Microsoft Community forum and the forum moderator confirmed that the Brazilian Portuguese Office 2013 spell checker does indeed lack these features.
I know that the pt-br proofing tools was designed by Itautec Brazil. So I contacted the project leader and she answered me as follows:
" Someone from Itautec contacted Microsoft and they answered: “Microsoft has now replaced all of the above features with our own versions - we do not intend to ship the Itautec features with any new Microsoft product.”"
I would like use Office 2013, but I cannot work without a robust Brazilian Portuguese spell checker. Is using Office 2010 my only option?

Hi,
You can go to this page and click Download button to download Microsoft Office Proofing Tools 2013 - Portuguese (Brazil):
http://www.microsoft.com/pt-BR/download/details.aspx?id=35400
The current tool might be not powerful enough for you, you can always submit your feedback/requirement by clicking the smile face at the upper right corner of Office applications. Microsoft will work hard to make sure it is reviewed:

Windows 7 upgrade: discs will include the option for a 32 to 64-bit upgrade via a clean install?

I would like to know whether the Lenovo Windows 7 upgrade discs will include the option for a 32 to 64-bit upgrade via a clean install? I called Mentor today and was told the answer is no, but I was hoping someone here could tell me differently.
If "no" is truly the answer, I would like to voice my complaint: The upgrade discs from Microsoft (i.e. the retail upgrade discs) include both the 32 and 64-bit versions, so I don't completely understand why Lenovo's upgrade program doesn't offer the same thing. I purchased my T500 in August, and back then Vista Ultimate 64 was not offered, so I chose Vista Ultimate 32 thinking that I could later upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate 64. This assumption was based off of the info. on Microsoft's website indicating that all upgrades would contain the 32 and 64-bit versions. I even customized my computer with 4 gigs of RAM thinking that I could take advantage of the extra gig once I installed Windows 7 64.
I don't understand what Lenovo or Mentor Media have to gain by restricting a 32 to 64-bit install. I voiced this opinion to Mentor Media over the phone, who responded by saying that I should be happy since I am receiving a "free" upgrade. I don't think this is an accurate assessment for two reasons: (1) I had to pay $17.03 for shipping, and I still haven't received the upgrade and (2) The total cost of my computer was almost $3,000, and the purchase was made a mere few weeks before Windows 7 was released. $3,000 is a lot of money. I waited for the details of the Windows 7 Upgrade Program to be announced BEFORE purchasing my machine. When I finally bought my computer I accounted Windows 7 into the price I was paying. In addition, when I bought this computer I did so expecting good customer service as a given. Not providing a 64-bit upgrade without a rational explanation as to why does not qualify as appropriate customer service.
As most of you know, 4 gigs of RAM is useless with a 32-bit OS. Also, NOW Lenovo is building new T500s with the option of having Windows 7 Ultimate 64 (why wasn't Vista Ultimate 64 offered when I bought my computer???).  And the price for choosing Windows 7 Ultimate 32 is EQUAL to the price for choosing Windows 7 Ultimate 64, which proves that there is no cost difference. I just want to know what Lenovo has to gain by denying customers a 64-bit upgrade? There would really be no additional cost since as I mentioned before, Microsoft's retail upgrade includes the 32 and 64-bit OS on one disc. If anything I would think that it's costing Lenovo money to strip the 64-bit install from the upgrade discs.
Can anyone please address my problems? Do you think there is anyone at Lenovo I could contact to voice my opinions? I have been a loyal Thinkpad customer for over 5 years now, and I expect better from Lenovo. Thank you for reading!
moderator note: core question add to title, as stated in the forum rules and it will help others too answer your questions.

Is there any way to request a 64-bit OEM? Why should Lenovo care whether I want a 32-bit or 64-bit as long as it's the same edition (Ultimate edition)?
if your system shipped with a 32-bit version of vista then you will be sent 32-bit windows 7 upgrade media.   the reason for this is two-fold.
first, because this is upgrade media, it's impossible to install a 64-bit version of windows over a 32-bit version.   doing so would require a clean installation and upgrade media simply won't allow this.   this is the case with retail media, too.   if you had 32-bit vista installed and wanted to upgrade it to 64-bit using retail media, you'd have to wipe your system or set up a dual-boot.
second, the COA (certificate of authenticity) on the bottom of your system is for vista.   because of this, your new license is of an upgrade from vista to 7.   this is how microsoft licenses it and it is their policy, not lenovo's.   microsoft's policy with OEMs is that you must install vista first, then upgrade to 7 (unless, of course, you purchased your system native with 7 on or after the 22nd).   since your original lenovo preload is of a 32-bit OS, the issue becomes circular and you'll have to refer again to the first reason.
i understand your frustration and wish this stuff were made easier for everyone.   it's repetative reading post after post of people with 4GB installed who don't understand the limitations of a 32-bit environment. i wish both manufacturers and users switched to 64-bit OSes sooner. the same thing happened when the industry went from 16-bit windows 3.11 to 32-bit windows NT4/95 and limitations went from 16KB all the way up to 4GB (which, in 1995, no one thought we'd ever exceed).   the difference is that people were complaining on BBSes over 14.4k modems instead of on GUI-based forums using broadband connections.   times sure have changed.

I can't download any apps even free apps and it's asking me for my credit card details . Is it necessary to give?

I just bought my I-pad 3 and none of the apps are getting downloaded and it's asking me for my credit card details due to which I can't even download any free apps .....what should I do ?

You just have to go in through the back door, so to speak. DOn't create an ID first, go to the app you want, try to download, click on the 'create an id' button and then, when you get to the payment page, you'll see an option for 'none'.

What are the different options for implementing web security?

Hi,
Right now I am working on an internet website. We are using JSP for presentation and running Weblogic Application Server. I want to know different options for implementing website security. One of the options that I am aware of is to use LDAP. But we donot want to go and buy a LDAP Directory Server now. So I would really appreciate if somebody could let me know my choices here.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If you are working on a Windows 2000 platform, the most obvious choice would be Active Directory Server as this is shipped free with Server 2000. It is LDAP compliant, although does have a few differences that set it apart from the other X500 standard based solutions which I will mention in a moment. Details on these differences can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnactdir/html/msdn_activedirvsnds.asp
Other options are openldap, an open source implementation of an ldap server or iPlanet's Directory Server. If you are initially doing an evaluation, a trial version is available of the iPlanet software and can be downloaded from their site. I found this particularly easy to get to grips with and their is excellent documentation available. There is also an offering from Novell, but I have no experience of this.
Hope this helps.

HOW TO DELETE FILES or FOLDERS or Assets from Adobe Creative Cloud Brouser/Web Portal By: Kai Buskirk rev:130626
Adobe now burried deleting or trashing unwanted iteams files or folders in the Archive section of your creative cloud brouser/web portal.
Note!! - No longeer is there a standard TrashCan icon or simple Delete button... its burried in the archive sector: but why i ask?
An archive is an accumulation of historical records, or the physical place they are located.[1] Archives contain primary source documents that have accumulated over the course of an individual or organization's lifetime, and are kept to show the function of that person or organization. Professional archivists and historians generally understand archives to be records that have been naturally and necessarily generated as a product of regular legal, commercial, administrative or social activities.
In general, archives consist of records that have been selected for permanent or long-term preservation on grounds of their enduring cultural, historical, or evidentiary value. Archival records are normally unpublished and almost always unique, unlike books or magazines for which many identical copies exist. This means that archives (the places) are quite distinct from libraries with regard to their functions and organization, although archival collections can often be found within library buildings
A person who works in archives is called an archivist. The study and practice of organizing, preserving, and providing access to information and materials in archives is called archival science. The physical place of storage is sometimes referred to as an archive repository.
To delete files folders or individual assests in the current incarnation of adobe creative cloud brouser/web portal rev:130626
1 - Check mark the box on left and select files or folders you would like Deleted/Trashed and move them to the ARCHIVE folder location inside your adobe creative cloud brouser/web portal....Then navigate to the ARCHIVE SECTION
2 - Once the files or folders you have check marked are moved to the ARCHIVE folder location you can select them for Permanant Deletion (Trash)
ps: you can also restore them......if you so choose....
3 - in case you missed this step after selecting/checking the files or folders in the ARCHIVE folder there is a small Triangle Selector drop down that will reviel the Permanently Delete option.... clicking that is the point of no return i think..... so do not be misled my the use of the term ARCHIVE.... DELETING PERMANANTLY IS DELETING YO!
4 - OK DONE NOW YOU GOT IT .....
Good Luck Happy House Cleaning.....
Wamest Blessings,

Template Option for Vendor and Customer

Hi All,
MDG Version EHP 7
I am working on Vendor Like UI , Is there any option where i can use a already created Vendor or Customer as a Template and create a similar record ???
Currently when i use the search UI or Create UI i do not see any options for using a Template.
Regards,
Vag Vignesh Shenoy

Dear Vignesh,
I am not sure about the template. But SAP provided the Reference option to copy the existing vendor detail to creating the new Vendor/Customer master record. With this field you can create the vendor/customer easily. No need of any template. Thanks.
