OT: Windows Vista - What new features do you use?

Hello all. I just got my first Vista machine, and am learning
how to best
make use of it. Those of you who use it and like it (the rest
of you can
ignore this thread :-)), what features new with Vista do you
use?
Thanks in advance,

Hi John - I have Vista Ultimate too - just got it yesterday.
What you
describe is pretty much what I've heard elsewhere, so I guess
I shouldn't
expect much excitement. It would be nice if there was a
little more pay-back
for having to learn a new system and having to put up with
the security
stuff - you know, some fun or even just helpful improvements.
You haven't tried "smart folders"? I'm going to check that
out.

What new features in Lightroom 6 ?

With Adobe Photoshop Lightoom 6 expected to be released later this year, what new featured would you like to see in the new version ?.

Dumb Marine,
It seems at least some of your requests are already implemented, thus I was confused by having them requested for Lr6.
DumbMarine wrote:
1. Gotta have Network intelligence and be able to store images on a Network or External Drive. Proxy thumnail images should be used for editting with final changes on 'real' image. This of course should be a User choice.
This is already implemented, no? I mean, images can be stored anywhere (that's always been true), and @Lr5 one can edit via smart previews when 'real' image is offline.
DumbMarine wrote:
2. Use 64 bit operating systems and GPU acceleration.
Lr already takes advantage of 64-bit operating systems (but not GPU acceleration). In other words, the 64-bit version is a recompilation of the source code, not a 32-bit version that runs on 64-bit computers too.
DumbMarine wrote:
3. Font size in panels should be resizable - thought everyone in the world had done this to enable Users?
Not sure what you meant by the 2nd part of this, but part1 can be done using Jeffrey Friedl's Online Lightroom Configurator.
DumbMarine wrote:
5. Should be independant of Creative Cloud (I KNOW this will NEVER happen!!!) if the User chooses.
User can choose to buy/maintain Lightroom independent of Creative Cloud now. Granted, if you buy Photoshop + Lightroom, Lightroom will be available via the cloud, but even then you can download and install independently if you prefer - stand-alone download will find creative cloud licensing, I *think* (somebody correct me if that's wrong).
DumbMarine wrote:
7. Should support 16 bit images and processing
It already does - always has.
Perhaps I've misunderstood what you were asking/hoping for in some cases - if so, please forgive and enlighten...

So, what new features actually exist in CC Premiere vs. CS6?

Anything new at this point? I know a feature comparision will be difficult as time goes on since the features will be regularly released but I'm curious. I'm debating, I can upgrade from CS5 to CS6 for $525 now and be good for the next few years, or at least until I can see what new features are coming out that I'm missing. Basically, a CS6 upgrade is cheaper than 18 months of CC so what would we expect to miss out on?

For a more extensive, detailed list, check out the post in the Premiere Pro work area blog here:
http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2013/04/the-next-version-of-premiere-pro.html
The Sync Settings feature that takes advantage of Creative Cloud was announced after that post, and is described here:
http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2013/05/sync-settings-features-in-premiere-pro-cc-for-s haring-keyboard-shortcuts-preferences-and-workspaces.html
More in-depth descriptions of specific features in Premiere Pro CC and other apps are also described in other posts on that blog.

What version control system you use?

We are 20 developer and we use bitkeeper as a version control system.
But we have 4 envirronnement.
dev/test/pre-prod/prod.
Sometimes, 2-3 projects are affecting the same packages.
And different packages version is all over the place since we have 4 envirronnements.
What version control system you use for packages?
Would be cool to have a version control system intergrated to our tools, like toad, pl/sql dev or sql developer, is there one for those tools?
Is the tool you using it doing all you want it to do?
Have any link for me to check out?

Hi,
I recommend SourceAnywhere Standalone to you. It is an SQL-based source control application that provides all of the key features of VSS, plus much more. It is well integrated with Microsoft Visual Studio 6/2003/2005/2008, Dreamweaver and Eclipse. Here is the home page of SourceAnywhere Standalone:

The Hosted edition, SourceAnywhere Hosted that is delivered as a SaaS application is also available.

You can take a look.

What other sites can you use with Libsyn/Blubrry?

I noticed that Libsyn has an option to publish to blogger.
If you wanted to have a wordpress site, do you need to get another web host or can you use the storage of your podcast files, via FTP, to a few pictures, etc. for your podcasts' site?
One consistent complaint with Libsyn is how terrible their websites are, I don't mind blogger, but I'd like to know what my other options are...
Blubrry seems to have wordpress support as a normal feature.
could you use a google+ page as your podcasts' main site? Tumblr?
Thanks again!

Pse 10 can use most of the plugins that work in the full photoshop.
Here are a couple of good links that should give you an idea of what plugins are out there:

What sequence setting would you use to edit 1280 x1080 DVCProHD (P2) and 1920 x 1080 AVCHD (Sony) in FCP. Experiencing Quality and rendering issues.

What sequence setting would you use to edit both 1280 x1080 DVCProHD (P2) and 1920 x 1080 AVCHD (Sony) in a single timeline in FCP. I'm experiencing quality and rendering issues. I've tried numerous settings but can't seem to figure this one out. Thanks for your assistance.

Although you can combine the avchd 1920x1080 material with prores 1920x1080 in the same timeline, you might land up saving time just converting everything to 1920x1080 prores 422. You'd probably reduce the amount of rendering while you're working and exporting when you're done by a great deal. This workflow will require much more drive space.

Another quick poll: "What CFML IDE do you use?"

G'day
As per my survey request the other day, it would help me out if you could answer three questions about what you use to write your CFML code: http://adamcameroncoldfusion.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/what-cfml-ide-do-you-use.html

Brother will kill brother
Spilling blood across the land
Killing for religion
Something I dont understand
Fools like me,who cross the sea
And come to foreign lands
Ask the sheep,for their beliefs
Do you kill on gods command?
A country thats divided
Surely will not stand
My past erased,no more disgrace
No foolish naive stand
The end is near,its crystal clear
Part of the master plan
Dont look now to israel
It might be your homelands
Holy wars
Upon my podium,as the
Know it all scholar
Down in my seat of judgement
Gavels bang,uphold the law
Up on my soapbox,a leader
Out to change the world
Down in my pulpit as the holler
Than-thou-could-be-messenger of god
Wage the war on organized crime
Sneak attacks,repel down the rocks
Behind the lines
Some people risk to employ me
Some people live to destroy me
Either way they die
They killed my wife,and my baby
With hopes to enslave me
First mistake...last mistake|
Paid by the alliance,to slay all the giants
Next mistake...no more mistakes|
Fill the cracks in,with judicial granite
Because I dont say it,dont mean I aint
Thinkin it
Next thing you know,theyll take my thoughts away
I know what I said,now I must scream of the overdose
And the lack of mercy killings

What to do if you use a segmented control in interface builder and it doesn't work ?

What to do if you use a segmented control in interface builder and it doesn't work ?

The first thing to do would probably be to update your profile and/or signature so people will know what OS, language, and development system you are using, then perhaps include some additional information such as what "it doesn't work" means, and possibly a few other things like some error logs, what you have done so far, maybe a code snippet or two, etc.

What code editor do you use with Business Catalyst?

I am having many issues with Dreamweaver & BC:
1 - It keeps thinking that I have the trial version, even though I have a license to Creative Cloud and Creative Cloud shows that I have it.
2 - When I try to use the integrated Business Catalyst palette, it logs me out of the admin console for my BC site. ANNOYING.
3 - Most importantly, it doesn't put the files to the server successfully, consistently. I have change my file and re-put the file 5-6 times before it works. VERY FRUSTRATING!
After an hour on the phone with Dreamweaver customer support, the issue is still not resolved.
So, now I ask you all, what code editor are you using in conjunction with Business Catalyst while implementing your Business Catalyst websites?

Code editors, I used to use editplus until Adobe locked 90% of the FTP programs out there, now I use Sublime 2 with SFTP plugin but it's uber clunky and not so happy with it...

Windows Vista on new 13"-MacBooks?

Hi everyone,
I've ordered the new MacBook (13") and now I would like to ask you the following: does Windows Vista supports all hardware-features (especially the graphics card and backlit-keyboard) of the new MacBook (completely)?
I know, I can use Bootcamp to install Windows Vista natively, but I would like to know whether it's working great or not...
Thanks in advance,
best regards,
Dominik.

the video drivers seems very good - all functions supported as far as i can tell. the keyboard backlight on my machine fades on and off, which i doubt it's supposed to do - but i'm running vista x64 which seems a bit rough around the edges on the bootcamp drivers......

You'll learn more and get more eyes in BootCamp forum.

Ran into this review while looking for an SP1 upgrade disk:

I really think BootCamp 2.x drivers probably are behind in being fully compatible, though the one's on the OEM OS X DVD are newer I doubt they have full Nvidia support.

How do I find out what "new" features, if any, are in incremental version updates to CC?

In olden days, Adobe would tell you what was fixed and what was added to new micro-versions of a product. I've noticed now that when I get an update to Photoshop or Bridge, it can be over 100mb but nowhere does it say what the update is for like new features, bug fixes, etc. Does anyone know if there is a version changelog or anything similar that explains what each new incremental update does or fixes? Since we are paying now for our Photoshop and new implementations are supposed to be included (thus no more major new versions), I'd like to know what these new incremental updates actually do and what new and wonderous things Adobe has come up with. Anyone know??

Hi,
You can read about the 14.1.1 & 2 updates here:

For the new features in 14.1, you can find them here:
