Options to reduce amount of thumbnail improvement

I'd like to see some choices to limit the amount of processing done by Bridge to "improve" thumbnails.
1) Do only some gamma work to make the thumbs visible.
2) Add to that the basic color/tone adjustments.
3) Add to 2) all the rest of the improvements.
I'm not enough of an expert to describe the right demarcation points for these choices, but I do want to be able to look at thumbs where I have deliberately over or under-exposed a few dozen frames, shifted the color balance in the camera, or have done some other oddball thing during testing. I need to see these without all the "improvements." The other 90% of the time I'm happy with Bridge thumbs as is.
As things now stand I cannot use Bridge for some of my work and must use BreezeBrowser or other software.

David,
The adjustments for gamma, etc that you describe are carried out in the background by Camera Raws Auto Adjustments. Bt default everything except Saturation is set to Auto. However, you can switch off individual settings (eg Exposure and Shadow) and save these as the NEW default for images taken by your camera

A thumbnail button option to hide or show thumbnails on slideshows

A great feature would be the option to hide or show thumbnails when using the full screen slideshow widget, I would suggest an option to turn this feature on in the flyout box so when viewing a full screeen slide show a grid icon appears thats brings up you thumbnails so you can jump to a specific image. Then the option to hide the thumbnials so the viewer can view the images without anything else on the page. A brilliant example of this is a widget by Muse Themes.... Adobe Muse Fullscreen Thumbnail Gallery Widget by MuseThemes this should be standard feature native in Muse. Please!

So each time a user completes viewing a screen/slide, when they click the next button a user variable, v_lastmod is passed. So if a user views the intro slide and clicked next, v_lastmod=1 is passed to the database. The program actually reloads, so the .NET does a Response.redirect and jumps to the appropriate slide. That might be too much info. But if that user whose lastmod=1 were to review that screen again, I like the next button to appear for the entirety of the slide so they can skip the slide they've already seen.
We also pass a user variable v_compind=1 if they've completed the whole program.

I want to reduce pdf size up to 5mb for mailing perpose, anybody have any option to reduce it since I have used optimiser & reduce file size option but its not helpfull.

The optimizer can reduce space, but some things can't get smaller. Text for example. Play with the settings, examine the results of Audit Space Usage.
Or give up. Even 5 MB is too large for a bulk mailing, by far. Instead put it on your web site and mail a link - done!

I would like to know if I'm restricted too a certain amount of thumbnails in my elements 11 organizer??

I would like to know if I'm restricted too a certain amount of thumbnails in my elements 11 organizer??

No there is not a limit. Organizer doesn't physically hold photos. It simply makes links to the files in your folders. So the catalog itself is usually quite modest in size.

What do i do ? My i phone 4 has no option to reduce the motion picture. It is causing me a serious problem. Can anyone please help ?

After several attempts to get some help from Apple, it has become clear to me that my i phone 4 has no options within accessibility to reduce the motion picture.
I have a serious problem with the new software but unfortunatly i cannot go backwards with this update. Apple for obvious reasons will not advise any downgrading options. Can anyone please help me? Is there a third party option here. I do not want to pay for a new phone or replace the i phone as i run a mac,desktop and i pad... !! Thank you.

It's only that I'm not clear why you are reluctant to post it. If you have a podcast in the iTunes Store then it's there for the world to see - they might search on its subject or title, for example, even if they don't actually know about it from you. If you look at other posts in this forum you will see that usually people post their URLs and then I can examine the feed and hopefully find out from that what the problem is. Without this information no-one can give you anything more than wild guesses.
If you are still reluctant to post the details and want to have a bash at diagnosing the problem yourself you may find my web pages helpful:

Reduce amount of archived log generated.

RDBMS version : 9.2.0.8
SQL> SELECT tablespace_name, force_logging FROM dba_tablespaces;
TABLESPACE_NAME FORCE_LOGGING
SYSTEM NO
Above is what status of database, but when I do maintenance work of rebuilding index tablespace I get day or two worth of archived log files.
and I dont' think ALTER DATABASE no force logging will reduce the amount of log generated.
Is there any other method available?
thanks

Hi,
if you force logging for a tablespace or for the database, then this means only that any nologging clause that comes with statements related to segments in that tablespace/database is ignored. No force logging is the default.
In order to reduce the amount of redo protocol, you may consider to use NOLOGGING for the rebuild of your indexes:
create index <indexname> on <table(column)> nologging;Or you put the tablespace in NOLOGGING in which the indexes are created in:
alter tablespace <indextablespace> nologging;Or (perhaps even better) simply leave the indexes as they are. Most indexes do not need a rebuild anyway.
Kind regards

Mplayer cache option greatly reduces performance

Hi. I needed a larger cache because I have some videos stored on another samba server and it's laggy.
I set options: cache=20000, cache-min=10 , and that helped to play those videos smoothly, but that caused all 1280x720 mp4 files stored on my local drive to lag and A/V desync with mplayer message:
**** Your system is too SLOW to play this! ****
I tried cache values from 1000 to 80000, and they lag in any case. But without the option "cache" these videos play well.
Now I commented "cache" in config.
[default]
#cache=65536
#cache-min=10
ao=alsa
softvol=yes
subcp=enca:ru:cp1251
af=pan=2:1:0:0:1:1:0:0:1:0.5:0.5:1:1
ass=yes

you can use different config for your local usage.

when application is starting, now Im loading the thumbnail buttons without image(to run the application quickly).
now i want to update the buttons with real thumbnail images in background. i tried with thread and SwingUtilities.invokeLater ,but it stuck the application until updating finish.

Where can i find an option to reduce size of iPhoto photo attachments to send in email from an iMac

There is an answer already on this site, but it seems very cumbersome. In Outlook, or with Thunderbird on a PC, you automatically get choices to click for the size you want to send. Is that possible on iMac?

There should have been a screen that asked when you wanted to apply the change, and it would have given you three options - Right now (it may have said immediately) with a warning about pro-rated charges, backdate to the beginning of the current cycle, or start with the next billing cycle.
When I went in and upped my data to the next tier, I got this screen - what do you see on the confirmation screen?

iPhone 4 has something like 10,000 emails on it...as you'd expect it's hogging a lot of space
is there some sort of efficient way to reduce the number of emails on the phone--without having to manually delete each, one by one?

Go to: Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> click on your email account ( to example Hotmail) -> instill there is the voice '' email to synchronize '' -> touch and decide whether to synchronize emails 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, or no limit Ps: not all mail provider is present this possibility ( to example Gmail no )

Performance issues and options to reduce load with Oracle text implementation

Hi Experts,
My database on Oracle 11.2.0.2 on Linux. We have Oracle Text implemented for fuzzy search. Our oracle text indexes are defined as sync on commit as we can not afford to have stale data. Now our application does literally thousands of inserts/updates/deletes to those columns where we have these Oracle text indexes defined. As a result, we are seeing a lot of performance impact due to the oracle text sync routines being called on each commit. We are doing the index optimization every night (full optimization every night at 3 am). The oracle text index related internal operations are showing up as top sql in our AWR report and there are concerns that it is causing lot of load on the DB. Since we do the full index optimization only once at night, I am thinking should I change that , and if I do so, will it help us?
For example here are some data from my one day's AWR report:
Elapsed Time (s)

Elapsed Time per Exec (s)

end
02yb6k216ntqf
begin ctxsys.syncrn(:idxownid, :idxoname, :idxid, :ixpid, :rtabnm, :flg); end;
Now if I do the full index optimization more often and not just once at night 3 PM, will that mean, the load on DB due to sync on commit will decrease? If yes how often should I optimized and doesn't the optimization itself lead to some load? Can someone suggest?
Thanks,

Reducing amount of discrete vector objects [Acr 8]

Any way to simplify vector objects in a PDF file?
I have a page with complex maps. This PDF is placed in InDesign, scaled, and then I export to create a new PDF. Either at the source (linked PDF) or the final PDF, I'd like to simplify the vector map images, presumably by rasterizing to 72 ppi.
Any way to do this in Acrobat?
Thanks in advance,

Show options for projected amount of time based on the current date?

I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to go about this, or has done something similar before.
I would like to be able to have the user see what the current date is, and then based on that, be able to schedule an appointment for say, the next two weeks, given that they can select either a Tuesday or Wednesday. (When they "schedule" an appointment, I would just be sending out that info to a spreadsheet or something.)
So, if today is Tuesday, 6/10/14, they will then see that they can select either Wednesday, 6/11, or a different Tuesday or Wednesday within the next two weeks. Ideally, they would be able to see all of those possible dates listed out, and click/select one.
If this isn't possible in Captivate, is there another way to do this, and then embed that within that as a web page or object in Captivate, or run a script, maybe?

I don't think you'd find a way to do the actual date changes and scheduling through CP - that's far more advanced that it's intended for. If there is a way, it'll take complex Actionscripting (and likely external javascripting).
BUT if your developers can create a webpage that does this (i.e. .NET or PHP), sure, you could put that on a webserver somewhere then use a 'Web Object' in CP to import that page into an iframe so users can interact.
CP won't know what the users are doing in the iframe...but with CP you could put instructions on the page too, maybe some general callouts, and follow up with a quiz or so.

Options for fast recovery - Reducing Downtime

OS: OEL 5.7
Database : 11.2.0.3-EE (non-RAC)
I'm looking for Options using ONLY Oracle Features to reduce downtime on scheduled outages, due application changes and upgrades.
In this particular case I have only one application installed on this database (ERP).
Default Backup (full) and Restore operation are activities that we already know, but I'm looking for others options that reduce downtime.
I need a rollback plan in short time.
Any help is welcome.

Hi,
Dataguard is the best option in case of short downtime, but you will need double of storage space.
Two thing you must consider:
* What is database size?
* What is amount of data that will be updated/deleted/added during this application change?
Choose one of this option:
* Dataguard
The best option and is really fast, near zero downtime. (As mentioned by mseberg using a nice example)
* Flashback Database with RESTORE POINT
Oracle Flashback Database and restore points are related data protection features that enable you to rewind data back in time to correct any problems caused by logical data corruption or user errors within a designated time window. These features provide a more efficient alternative to point-in-time recovery and does not require a backup of the database to be restored first.
Restore points provide capabilities related to Flashback Database and other media recovery operations. In particular, a guaranteed restore point created at an system change number (SCN) ensures that you can use Flashback Database to rewind the database to this SCN. You can use restore points and Flashback Database independently or together.
You will need to open the database with RESETLOGS after FLASHBACK Database.
* Guarantee Restore Point (with flashback database disabled)
Like a normal restore point, a guaranteed restore point serves as an alias for an SCN in recovery operations. A principal difference is that guaranteed restore points never age out of the control file and must be explicitly dropped. In general, you can use a guaranteed restore point as an alias for an SCN with any command that works with a normal restore point.
A guaranteed restore point ensures that you can use Flashback Database to rewind a database to its state at the restore point SCN, even if the generation of flashback logs is disabled.
You don't need RESETLOGS after rollback.
* Edition-Based Redefinition for Online Application Maintenance and Upgrades
Edition-based redefinition enables you to upgrade a database component of an application while it is in use, thereby minimizing or eliminating down time. This is accomplished by changing (redefining) database objects in a private environment known as an edition.
To upgrade an application while it is in use, you copy the database objects that comprise the application and redefine the copied objects in isolation. Your changes do not affect users of the application—they continue to run the unchanged application. When you are sure that your changes are correct, you make the upgraded application available to all users.
