Photo Sharpening - Scott Kelby's Tip in His Book - OK for RAW and JPEG?

Hello. Newbie here. In fact, I haven't even bought PSE yet but am thinking seriously about it. I'd like a quick tool for sharpening my Nikon D80 photos on my Mac. In his book "The Digital Photography Book" (volume one), on page 18, Scott Kelby gives a very concrete set of parameters for sharpening images in both Photoshop and PSE. My question is, can these parameters be used effectively on photos shot in JPEG as well as RAW images? My guess is "yes" since he doesn't say otherwise but I thought I'd try to check it out.

Precisely what Conrad Chavez says: a very good change.

I just got tOhe iPhone 4Gs today and had contacts and photos uploaded from another phone synced new phone with iTunes for music and accidentally restored it so all my old iPhone stuff is on the new one is there any way to fix this ?! Please help !!!!

Could you be more specific about what exactly do you want to fix now?

My Photoshop Elements 12 is downloading two copies of each photo and there is no Automatically Stack RAW AND JPEG Option in the Download Box.

Anwesha,
Yes.
I have clicked on it, selected “Stack” and all is now fine, with both versions of the photo readable by “unstacking”, using the side arrows !!
Thanks for that.

I cannot download photos in raw and jpeg into aperture from canon 5d mark111

Don't believe the RAW's from that camera are supported yet. See OS X Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats

ITunes syncs duplicate photos (Identical RAW and JPEG)

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2398472
I just don't want iTunes to sync photo duplicates. I had brought this up before and this is still an issue for me. I'd love to know if there is an advanced Mac user that can help solve this issue. By preference, I have my camera save JPEG and RAW simultaneously, which means each photo gets placed on my iPods twice. Photos take up 21.6 GB, could be almost half (some videos in the photo folders). I've submitted a feature request / suggestion, but I would like to resolve this sooner than later.
I searched around, hoping to find some method on OS X of denying an application access to certain file types; haven't seen anything yet. Why is this not an issue for others? Am I really that much of an oddball for wanting both JPEG and RAW?

Thanks--the stacking approach seems to mostly work OK; not sure why I didn't think of it. IA problem though is that setting the slider for the time between shots to zero doesn't actually group shots having the same capture time--it seems to group nothing! Kind of pointless. You thus have to set the minimum time to 1s, which can put too many photos in a stack if you've been blazing away. I think I'd consider this a bug.

I am using Aperture 3 to edit RAW and JPEG photo images on my Macbook. I am having color printing issues with my Canon MP640 Pixma color printer. The image I see on my macbook is not reciprocated in printing from my printer?

My issue is that I am not getting print quality compared to the image I see on my screen. Just recently it has been very wishie washie. My printer is supposed to be excellent for producing color prints
I have contacted Canon support but they told me that the signals that are sent to the printer originate from an Apple product, therefore, it is an Apple mac problem not there's. I am wondering if my on screen proofing and/or printing profiles are correctly set. I notice that in 'print profiles' there are nine different options for printing from my particular printer. How confusing is that?
I have also found that when I choose a high standard print option my photo print comes out very red.
Can some kind person please help me? I don't seem to be getting any help from anyone else! Thanks in anticipation.

You didn't mention any color calibration being done on your monitor. This is an essential part of any color-correct workflow. What are you using to calibrate your monitor (and your printer)?
Print profiles (for soft-proofing as well as printing) are for specific combinations of paper & printer. The nine you have are each, most likely, for a common paper (perhaps mfr'd by Canon) to be used with your printer.
I don't know what you mean when you say "I choose a high standard print option".
Have you read the User Manual chapter on printing?
Printing Your Images
There is also a good appendix on calibration:
Calibrating Your Aperture System

Problem with a Scott Kelby action. Help!

In Scott Kelby's "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book for Digital Photographers" he describes a process to automate sharpening in Photoshop, (chapter 5, page 218). It involves creating an "Action" in Photoshop that can automatically sharpen a folder of photos without any intervention on the user's part that can be automatically run from Lightroom. I'm running on a MacBook Pro, OS 10.4.11, Lightroom 2.3, Photoshop CS2.
The problem is that the action hangs when saving a photo. When the action reaches the step to save a photo, a "JPEG Options" box opens up and waits for you to click on the "OK" button. This hardly makes the action automatic. I notice that this only happens to photos that have not been opened in Photoshop previously, (which is always in my case).
Here are the Photoshop steps described by Scott (minus any superfluous stuff):
Step 1: Open a photo.
Step 2: Go to the Window menu and choose Actions. Click on the Create New Action icon at the bottom of the palette. In the New Action dialog box name your action and click on the Record button.
Step 3: Go under the Filter menu, under Sharpen, and choose Unsharp Mask. When the Unsharp Mask dialog appears enter 120% for Amount, 1.0 for Radius, and 3 for Threshold, then click on OK.
Step 4: Now go under the Edit menu and choose Fade Unsharp Mask. This brings up the Fade dialog box. From the Mode pop-up menu choose Luminosity.
Step 5: Now you can press Command-S (PC:Ctrl-S) to save your photo, then Command-W (PC: Ctrl-W) to close your photo. Since it's been saved and closed, go back to the Actions palette and click on the square Stop Recording button at the bottom left of the palette.
The rest of the steps involve creating a Droplet to put into Lightroom but is irrelevant to my problem.
Like I said, when I run this action it hangs when saving a photo. A "JPEG Options" dialog box opens and waits for you to click on "OK" Again this only happens on photos that have not been previously opened in Photoshop.
Any hints as to what is happening and how I can fix it?

You already have a rendered file at this point, so this metadata is completely useless. Lightroom for some reason includes all develop settings in every exported file.
Here is some more info

http://www.lightroomqueen.com/blog/2009/04/17/why-cant-cs2-save-as-jpeg-when-local-adjustm ents-were-used-in-lightroom/
The last one has the metadata-wrangler plugin do basically what I told you to do by hand inside Photoshop.

HT201077 As of recently any photos I add to a shared photostream will not update for others. Only I can see them. How come others sharing this photo stream are not getting the new photos?

As of recently any photos I add to a shared photostream will not update for others and I don't see the updated photos on my other devices. Only I can see them from the device that i've posted from. How come others sharing this photostream are no longer getting the new photos? My iphone (the device i'm adding from) shows 20 pictures in this shared photostream and yet 4 other people that I share this photostream album with and my ipad only show 12 photos. For the past week I keep adding photos thinking people will see them but it just won't update the new ones. Any ideas how to fix this?

You can stop new photos being automatically added to Photostream in iPhoto from iPhoto preferences > Photostream.

Can I create separate events for RAW files and JPEG files of the same photo?

I recently changed the setting on my camera to take both a RAW and JPEG image. I now have a large number of photos in both formats in the same event. I'd like to separate all the RAW and JPEG photos into separate events. Is it possible to do this in a batch process versus trying to move individual files? I use iPhoto '11, version 9.4.3.
Thanks,
Peter

Yes. Create a smart album with the criteria Photo is RAW:
Then you can select all of the photos in the smart album and use the Events ➙ Create Event menu option to move all of the RAW photos into a new event.

Crop Ratio Camera Raw / Scott Kelby Book for Digital Photographers

From the Book of Scot Kelby regarding the Camera Raw usage.
- The Adobe® Photoshop® CS5 Book for Digital Photographers
Chapter 2. WWF Raw: The Essentials of Camera Raw > Cropping and Straightening
If you reopen your cropped photo again in Camera Raw, you’ll see the cropped version. To bring back the cropping border, just click on the Crop tool. To remove the cropping altogether, press the Esc or Delete (PC: Backspace) key on your keyboard (or choose Clear Crop from the Crop tool’s pop-up menu). If you want your photo cropped to an exact size (like 8×10″, 13×19″, etc.), choose Custom from the Crop tool’s pop-up menu to bring up the dialog you see here. You can choose to crop by inches, pixels, or centimeters.
In this topic Scott Kelby is explaining Crop Ratio for ACR 7.x
In this version there is the possibility for Crop Ratio to Inches, CM and Pixels. However with the Newer version this option is no longer available.
Hopefully this will safe some of you the time looking for this.

Very important Photo of last visit with Grandpa before his passing and others gone can you help me please?

I accidentally cut photo's from an event instead of copy but I posted in a new event. I closed the new event and opened it back up. when I opened up the new event my photo's were all there. I copied the photo's from new event to put back into original old event. It wouldn't allow me to paste in the old event. SO I thought I must of not clicked copy like I thought so I went back to copy and my new event and all the photos disappeared. There is no backup found on itunes, no recovery software has recovered it. We've looked in the show package contents area of the iphoto in Finder. The event or pictures are no where to be found. These pictures were taken from my iphone and I imported them to iphoto a while back. I have not backed up the pictures becuase I don't know how. I've never had this issue and an event and photo's shouldn't just disappear like they never happened. There are 25 photos total but about 5 of them are most important to me. I've tried running a backup recovery of my phone with software and on the computer and only thing they find is photo's I already know where they are. If you have any suggestions help info please let me know. Thanks

I just performed the rebuild. It put a bunch of empty folders into my library that I had deleted in the past. But no where is the one folder that I had made yesterday with my 25 photos. I checked the orginial folder that I took them from and not there. It's odd that it's like they never exisited. So broken hearted. The last photo I had with my husband and I in it with his grandpa before he died is gone. Unless there is a way to get it off a back up on my phone somewhere. All of my photos' are backed up from my PC but nothing since owning this computer. cause this itunes icloud time machine stuff has me confused but will have to get the pictures printed and burned that I do have. That's what I was working on yesterday when this happened. Chose my first 25 I wanted to print and lost them and I"m afraid to touch the others now.

Scott Kelby books

Scott Kelby has 2 new books out on Lightroom- Lightroom 4, and Lightroom 5. I have Lightroom 4, but have upgraded to 4.4- my question is should I get the Lightroom 5 book or the Lightroom 4 book? Is there a lot of difference between 4.4 , and 5? Will I ever get to Lightroom 5 through upgrades, or updates? visionsofnature.

Lr5 is, for the most part, a superset of Lr4. That said, it wasn't a quantum leap forward, with a huge bunch of complicated features that warrant explanation...
If I were you, I'd get a list of "what's new in Lr5" and make sure you can get your mind around the new features. If not, then buy the book..
The possible exception: Lightroom mobile came out with Lightroom 5.4, so if you'll use it, then it might be worth having a book to support that.
Do an internet search for "what's new in Lightroom 5" - there is some good info from Adobe, and the Lightroom Queen...

Photos will not allow me to set the key picture for the album or event

Photos will not allow me to set the key picture for the album or event - it is set to grey !
Anyone else had this and found why ?
new PHOTO app replacing iPhoto bugs/ Problems OTHER PROBLEMS :
- no longer has a five star rating system
- my keywords for selecting albums are gone.
- cannot copy location of one photo to another
- cannot have an album with keywords AND rating > a value
- cannot set key photo of album/event
- multi parameter search feature gone
Anyone got any ideas how to get around this terrible downgrade of the software ?
BTW I have just discovered that iPhoto and its' libraries are still there, so I can go back but be left behind and frozen in time on this version if I do.
Photos now take up 700Gb whereas it was 350Gb #@!$#@!@#!@#
Thanks

That are all good points - but Photos is a completely new application. and it is only version 1.
Continue to use iPhoto, girraween; the next update to Photos will probably add a few more features.
iPhoto 9.6.1 is working very well with MacOS X 10.10.3.
The migration let iPhoto installed and also your iPhoto Library will still work with iPhoto.
If you did not uninstall iPhoto, it will still be there in your Applications folder. And if you had updated to the latest version iPhoto 9.6.1 before you upgraded to MacOS X 10.10.3, you can simply drag iPhoto back to the Dock from your Applications folder and continue to use it. Double click iPhoto and confirm, that you want to open iPhoto and not Photos. It is not compulsory to use Photos, while it it still the first release. When you launch iPhoto, you will see a warning, that the iPhoto Library has been migrated to Photos, but simply click the "Open iPhoto" button.The library will still work with iPhoto. ()see: If Photos won't open a library that you already migrated - Apple Support
If your iPhoto version is not iPhoto 9.6.1, you need to update it.
See this User Tip:
Usually it will work to reinstall instead of updating:
Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.
Meanwhile you may want to send a feature request to Apple using the feedback form. Apple - Photos - Feedback
I hope, Apple will listen and add more features to Photos to make it usable for large Photo Libraries.

Can someone please help a friend of mine get a permanent registration key (not a trial key that expires in 30 days) to replace his lost registration key for Adobe Photoshop CS2? His previous hard drive crashed and he no longer has his registration key. This is vital for his wedding business.

Thanks to everyone for the tips on my CS2 question. It turns out in the end it was some plug-in filter software that was causing the glitch, not a lack of an Adobe registration key. As for why he still uses CS2, it does the job for him, so that's all he needs.
