Photo editing for online store products

I am looking for a product so I can edit my photos to insert in an online store where the requirements are a picture of the product only on white background. Will photoshop help me achieve this easily?

I believe that the degree of control that you'd need necessitates an application on your Mac, rather than a $3 app on the iPad. You might consider Photoshop Elements - 90% of the power of the full PS at 10% of the price. Shop around. With rebates, you can probably get it for $60 to $70 and it's well worth that price.

Documentation for Online Store or any other Apex application?

Hi!
I'm trying to understand Apex "Online Store" sample Packaged Application
dowloaded from
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/packaged_apps/packaged_apps.html
After having spent several days trying to "decode" this Application,
with some moderate success,
I decided to ask if there is some documentation/explanation of this Application,
or alternatively if you could point me
to some other well documented and explained Apex Application,
preferably with "online store" features.
I'm a newcomer to Apex, PL/SQL, and the rest of Oracle culture.
I've studied manuals and tutorials such as
- Apex 2 Day + Application Express Developer’s Guide
- Apex Advanced Tutorials
- Apex Application Builder User’s Guide
- Database 2 Day Developer's Guide
Thank you very much,
Marios

Yes, I did (turning off and then on again is a way of life for any windows user!). Actually, through a process of trial and error I have fixed the problem although I'm not very comfortable with the fix. For some reason, the OS X firewall is to blame. By relaxing the firewall settings to their most lenient, the iTunes store is now fully accessible via iTunes, and so is the whole of the apple website. Another added side effect has been that general web browsing is now lightning fast.
I'm therefore left with the (temporary) conclusion that my iMac's internal firewall is only capable of blocking access to the web resources of the people who created it, and slowing my web browser to a crawl.

Best photo editing for mac

Is there a "best" photo editing app for mac that may do a little more than iphoto? I'm interested in helping my photos to look a little better as far as lighting, contrast, etc. but not fake stuff like photoshop effects. I'm a newbie at this. Maybe I should just stick with iphoto?
Thanks for any advice.

Try these:
Pixelmator
Gimp
Photoshop Elements

Spotlight Comments not editable for App Store Apps

I'm liking the app store and the ability to download apps quickly and efficiently. However, I'm not able to edit spotlight comments for downloaded apps. I've tested editing spotlight comments for my regular assortment of apps that were not downloaded from the App store and didn't have a problem. Nor did I have a problem editing spotlight comments for regular files. I've just been locked out of editing app store apps. The permissions for App Store Apps appear to be set identically to other apps I have. I'm wondering if this has something to do with the built in update process for these apps, and now they are locked out for any modification by end users? Anyone else have this problem, or know of a workaround?

Good:
Unlocking the application and adding the privilege allowed me to edit the spotlight comment.
Bad:
After updating the application (Sparrow Mail for my example), I'm in a worse spot.
I changed the privileges again, and unlocked the application.
I can not edit the comment.
Spotlight is not finding the comment.
Reindexing Spotlight
Still not finding it.
Anyone have suggestions on this one?

Basic photo editing for new I-Mac packages to add faces on to pics etc

I have recently bought an i_mac and getting on great with it. Only bought to use for family computer and we add holiday snaps etc and make the odd photo album.
Is there an inexpensive photo editing package i.e. where I can impose photo faces onto other images - somehting similar to Windows Paint when we had the PC - although I would imagine with the Apple this would be a little more sophisticated!
Thanks

Well, there is Photoshop Elements for Mac (cheapest version) - don't know how much it is because I got it free when I bought my Wacom tablet. And, there is Graphic Converter - excellent app for a lot of stuff including adding text - cost is reasonable. I've used that for years. Those are the two that come to mind at the moment.

RAW photo editing for the Panasonic GF1

I've noticed posts about this issue on other sites, but I just wanted to make an official request here. Basically, iPhoto currently does not support the RAW files used by the Panasonic GF1 (and other newer Panasonic cameras). I'm just wondering if and when this support will be added, as I use iPhoto constantly, and I'd like to be able to take all my pictures in RAW without compatibility concerns. Thanks.

Let us say that you are taking a wedding gig for your best friend because he thinks you are a great photographer. You accept and pop off about 400 photographs with a bluish tint because YOU forgot to white balance (tisk tisk). You catch your problem and move on but what about those 400? You already have to enhance them in a graphics program but if they are in JPEG and you messed them up... not me. No way!
RAW is not bound by presets in the camera. You dump the blue tinted image and recolor then enhance and you are done. And, you still have a friend Okay
well maybe not that dramatic but you get the idea.
No matter how beefy iPhoto is RAW is advanced and you should upgrade. You get 3rd party software in the camera called Silky Pix which I believe is Apple compatible or graduate to Aperture, Adobe Lightroom or Adobe Bridge & Photoshop CS4.
Good luck!

Good online stores to order spare parts?

I need to replace the rear processor cage fan because it's noisy. I have searched the Internet for online stores that sell spare parts for Mac computers (specifically 2010 Mac Pro Quad Core 2.8) and... let's say the stores I have found do not appear to be very trustworthy. Can anyone recommend good online stores that sell spare parts for Mac computers?

DVWarehouse is top notch but don't see fan assembly

What to buy? I want to a small amount of product photo editing, build websites, and do some product label graphics. 74 years old and do not want to do the Cloud thing online.

Well, the web site building we can get out of the way rather easily: You cannot build websites with any Photoshop related applications. Adobe has other applications for that.
You can still buy the full version of Photoshop CS6 with a perpetual license—no monthly payments and you own it. $700 for the standard version, $1,000 for the extended version.
The Photographer's deal gives you a subscription to both Photoshop and Lightroom for $10 per month, but you never get to own the software. The moment you stop paying, the software ceases to work.
The Cloud thing is not really on-line. It resides on your computer. It only has to call the mother ship once a month or so.
Then there's the bargain-basement priced, emasculated Photoshop Elements, with some hand-holding features.
I'm a septuagenarian too, but then I've been using computers for decades, Photoshop seriously for over twelve years. Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
Depending on exactly how much editing you need to do to those products shots, you may be satisfied with Ps Elements mentioned above.
There are trial versions for all of the above.

Whats the best software for photo editing and creating product catalogues that can be saved as PDF's

Whats the best software for photo editing and creating product catalogues that can be saved as PDF's

You are asking two different questiions:
1. What's a good photo editor? Answer to that here is probably obvious.
2. What's a good desktop publishing/page layout program for creating PDF files for production? Answer, not PSE. It's a photo editor, not a page layout program.

Bangladesh is not included in "International Store Directory" so how can i order online for an apple product & how can i get it?

I read the 'Shipping Policy' of Apple Store (U.S.). It says "No shipments can be made to PO Box addresses, United States territories, or addresses outside of the United States. Bangladesh is not included in "International Store Directory" section, so how can i order online for an apple product & get it?
If its possible for me to buy apple products through ordering online lets just say an iPhone4 and an iPod Classic then how much it will cost separately for each one in total?

The iPhone is not available for legitimate sale in Bangladesh. There are no supported carriers in Bangladesh. If you can purchased an unlocked iPhone in a neighboring country, you should be able to use it with any compatible carrier, but warranty service and support will not be available to you outside the country of origin.

What is the best way to use a SSD for Photoshop/photo editing?

Computer hardware newbie here: I do a significant amount of photo editing work and for a very long time I've experienced Photoshop, Bridge and Photomatix crashing constantly (usually due to insufficient RAM) or just generally taking forever (Bridge took forever to load the thumbnail/preview extractions in a folder full of images, Photoshop took forever to save images and Photomatix took ages to load/merge a set of bracketed photos). Here are the typical error messages I'd get: http://pastebin.com/J9byczse
As a professional photographer, constantly running into that sort of thing is quite aggravating, so to hopefully avoid ever having to deal with that again I invested in a new custom built computer. It's Windows 7 Professional 64 bit with 32GB of RAM and a 240GB SSD; I'm using the 240GB SSD as my boot drive/OS, all of my programs are installed there, and the page file. My photos and data are stored on several HDDs. I have yet to install any of my photo editing software (Photoshop CS6 Extended, Lightroom, Photomatix etc) to the new computer yet since I'd like some advice first.
My basic question is this: what is the best way to take advantage of the SSD (and the computer in general) when it comes to my photo editing software?
Specifically...
1. If I have a folder of photos I'm working on, should I move it to the SSD and then work on them from there in order to take advantage of the speed of the SSD? Would this make any difference in terms of speed if the photos are located on the SSD vs. an internal/external HDD?
2. Most of what I've read online seems to recommend two separate SSDs, one for installing/booting the apps and one for cache/scratch. Does it matter if I use my 240GB SSD for both?
3. This is a fairly new computer and the SSD is already almost half full (102GB used, 120GB free) *WITHOUT* any of my photo editing software installed yet. I'm concerned about how fast that remaining 120 GB may fill up. As it fills up will I lose the speed advantage of the SSD vs. a regular HDD?
4. Sort of similar to #3, but should I bother moving any of my other non-photo editing programs/caches off of the SSD to a HDD and would there be any major difference in the speed/lifespan of the SSD if I did so? It's mostly Firefox and Chrome and their caches that I'm concerned may be a problem if they remain on the SSD.
Thanks for any help!

If you have an SSD you can run the cache and programs on the same drive. However, many recommend a scratch disk size of 100-200 gigs so that will not work here unless you opt for a larger SSD. Otherwise an internal spinner is recommended that does not contain the program files, or idealy any other files that may want to get acessed at same time (only one read/write head per drive).
With 32 gig of RAM you may not need the constant use of the scratch drive unless working on large images with lots of layers. So see no advantage to moving folder to SSD for temp work environment.
From what I read the new crop of SSD do not have the wear problems of the older versions.

Mac Mini for Parents (photo editing)

Hello all and thank you in advance.
My parents (for reference in their mid 60s) have finally decided to come to the mac universe. They are asking for assistance in buying a computer. I was thinking of getting them a mac mini.
In regards to their needs, they are pretty light computer users. They like to facetime, make photo collages, web surf, email, etc. Though I should mention my dad needs to have a virtual PC to log into the VA (was going to use VirtualBox). Also they would like to start doing some photo editing, note that they are very much an amateurs and will not being running super complicated workflows (he has a Nikon D700 (12MP full frame) with a ton of RAW files he has never yet bothered with). In terms of photo software, I was thinking either Aperture or the upcoming Photos app and possibly Pixelmator.
Cost is a consideration, but if the performance increase is great enough it will also be weighted justly.
I am debating between a 2014 version vs a 2012 that I would upgrade myself (add a SDD to make a fusion drive and max out the ram). If I did go with a 2012, would the cost difference to get a i7 quad core be worth it, or would the dual core i5 be more than sufficient?
thanks!

Various points:
1. You can't really diy a fusion drive. You can build a logical volume that spans two physical drives, and HDD and SSD, but that doesn't make a fusion drive, so you don't get all the benefits. Also, be aware of the issues with TRIM on Yosemite with 3rd part SSDs (short version: Yosemite doesn't allow Trim Enabler etc to load the system extensions they need to work - Apple might change this in future, but who knows)
2. For software, I recommend Aperture (even though it's being replaced by Photos). It has two big benefits: it handles storing the pictures, with all kinds of tagging and search options so you can find them again; and it does non-destructive editing - if you make a change to a picture, you retain the original in case you change your mind or want a different version. Pixelmator is fantastic value too.
3. You can run a virtual machine fine on a 2013 mini (I do it - Windows 7 via Parallels). If all it is is some light online stuff, no issue. But it's true that the newer minis are somewhat slicker.
4. In general, provided you have the RAM (8GB), any mini will do - assuming they have a decent monitor with the right connections. If they want to get serious with photos, they absolutely need a decent monitor.

Purchasing an iMac for photo editing

I have been an avid amateur photographer for 35 years and moved into digital about 10 years ago. I have been using Aperture for organizing and editing and have found it to be limiting in some aspects so am moving to Elements 12 - finding that my Macbook Pro 13 inch screen poses screen size issues for editing. Therefore I am hoping to move up to an iMac 27 inch for my forward photo-computer editing and viewing of "keepers". I am more of a photographer than I am a computer user so my understanding of components extras in the purchase of my iMac is basic. I shoot approximately 1000 shots per year and edit about half of those as potential keepers and end up saving about 50 to 100 shots as real keepers. Can someone shed light, in clear terms what value if any I would get in my photo editing / storage of final keepers, by purchasing the "add-ons" offered in the "build your own" section of the Apple Store purchase site?
Thank you very much

I had some similar thoughts before buying my new iMac 27" that I received at the beginning of January.
I would say the Fusion drive is nice...bootup time is VERY fast on this Mac...much faster than any previous model I'd owned. I would say spend the money on the Fusion drive and add RAM later on. You can add the RAM yourself at a fraction of the price Apple charges....check prices at crucial.com or macsales.com.

I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like excel, word etc. 13"

I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like microsoft office products ...excel, word etc. I am new to the apple world and have liked the idea of the MAC Book Pro 13" but really dont know if this is good enough or if the computer will soon crash?
13-inch: 2.6GHz
with Retina display
Specifications
2.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
512GB PCIe-based flash storage1
Intel Iris Graphics
Built-in battery (9 hours)2

That's a fine machine and, with 8GB of RAM and 512GB flash storage should serve you well for light video/photo editing as well as for 'normal' usage. And it should last you for years to come.
Good luck in making your decision!!
