Photomerge (missing manual mode)

We are using photomerge to assemble huge panoramic overviews of the retina. We cannot guarantee an overlap of 30-40% per picture, since we have to keep the exposure of the specimen as low as possible, but it's "easy to assemble" pictures, completely corrected, only a shift in the X/Y Axis has to be performed and the images have to be seamlessly stitched.
Until now we use Photoshop CS2, because it's the last version that we know to have a manual stitching mode (automated stitching epically fails with our pictures). Since the pictures are very big (easilie 12 x 12 pictures of 3k x 3k Pixels) the memory limit on 32-bit forced us to assemble them in patches.
We got a new Core i7 / 8GB Ram workstation now, running Win7 64-bit and installed the trial version of CS5 Photoshop extended to make maximum use of 64-bit... only to come to know that the build in photomerge functions perform even worse in stitching our images and the manual mode is "gone".
I found out that I could install the old Photomerge ( http://forums.adobe.com/message/2242257#2242257 ), but I guess this will be 32-bit and as limited as the one we already use?
Is there any other solution to this? We would like to upgrade to CS5 (for all the other nice functions like 64-bit filters, no more memory limitations, GPU support, etc.) but if it cannot improve the main function we are using.....

The Optional Plug-ins package includes both 32 and 64bit versions of this plug-in as you can see in this technote: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/828/cpsid_82824.html
You'll also find in that technote a link to the CS5 Optional Plug-ins package.

CSS, Design Mode vs Live Mode vs Missing Manual

Hi,
I downloaded the trial version of DreamWeaver to see if I'd like to purchase it. To get a feeling for it, I've been using the CSS3 Missing Manual and doing the tutorials. Several times I've put code into DreamWeaver then clicked over to Live/Design Modes to see how it was coming along and what was supposed to happen wasn't visible BUT when I copy and past either the CSS or HTML into Coda, it comes out just as the book says it should. Any suggestions as to why?
I just tried to add text shaddow using the following which works in Coda but not DreamWeaver -- and it's really frustrating.
body{background-color:rgb(255,255,255);border: 3px solid rgb(75,75,75); box-shadow:0 0 15px 5px rgba(51,51,255,1);width:760px; margin-top:20px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;padding:15px;}
Also, when I add CSS into my webpage in DW Live Mode will show it but Design Mode will not. Is that normal? What is the use of Design Mode vs Live Mode?
Thank you,
ct

But the code I listed above doesn't preview (correctly) in either view, but will view correctly in Coda (a cheaper than DreamWeaver webpage builder). I don't understand why. It there a special property to doing floating that I'm not aware of? Theimage with the blue bloat is from Coda, the other image is from DW. Notice the difference? It's the same code. How can that be? I'm guessing that DW is set up differently but I'm not sure how to change it so that it displays correctly. Any suggestions?

7D Mark II Exposure Level Indicator missing in Manual Mode

Hi guys
I just put my hand on the long awaited Canon7d mark ii; I was all excited up until I found out that there was no level indicator (horizontal) as it should be, on Manual mode. Weird thing is, all the other modes have the indicator illuminated except in Manual mode, which I believe is the mode whith the greatest need for it. To make matters worse, the vertical level indicator is far off to the right, and not very bright as well. C'mon Canon, you have a great product, but seriously!

Firmware won't fix it.
And "the cop out or excuse" (nice - let's call it the reason) is that this is how it's done in the 1D-x and earlier pro bodies - and if it's good enough for pros, we should be able to adjust, eh?
Took me about ten seconds.
and I soon to notice how anoying this is for many photographers,
Says who? You and one other guy on an under-used forum which is self-selecting for complaints?

Archivelog in manual mode

If I am running my database in manual archivelog mode, and I perform a full hot (online) backup, do I still need to manually archive the logs that occured before the backup?
The reason I ask this is the following: I have 2 physical disks that I can use for online redo logs, and archive logs. The ideal scenario would be to Mirror the disks to create 1 logical disk, and then just write the online redo logs to the logical disk. When I enable archivelogging (which also archives to this disk), it creates a lot of contention, since - surprisingly to me - the archiver actually copies the redo log file. It surprises me because I would think it would recognize that it is on the same disk, and just rename the file to the appropriate archive log name, then create a new redo log file.
So, since there is no point in archiving the redo log to the same location (but I need archiving enabled in order to do a hot backup), my solution was to run in manual mode, and just define enough redo log files so that I'm always doing a database backup before the log circles back around.
Unless I'm missing something, this seems to me to be somewhat of a design flaw. Unfortunately, I can't put any more disks in this server, and I really don't want to archive to an external location.
andy

It will work in this case, but I would generally not use this approach. Please see below:
var="This v$log"
var=`echo $var`
echo $var
This vUsing "set pages 0 feed off" will not cause such problems and suppress control characters, feedback and other headers that you don't want when putting the output of a sql statement into a variable.

Can't transfer songs in manual mode

All the instructions say that in manual mode songs can be dragged from the music library and dropped into the iPOD but it won't work. The only way we can transfer is to set the preferences to automatic. Does anyone know how to transfer in manual mode?

Janet,
The songs with the ! next to them means that they have either been moved from the location that iTunes normally looks for them, or that they've been deleted from the computer.
Either way, iTunes cannot find them. If you were to double click on one, you would get a message to this effect and be asked if you want iTunes to look for it.

Tutorial Dreamweaver Cs5.5 The Missing Manual (Pg 998 - 1018) about adding dynamic data to your page

Hallo,
I did Tutorial: Displaying Database Info in the Missing Manual for Dreamweaver CS5.5.
My problem is with "Editing a Recordset and Linking to a Detail Page" (which starts at pg 1002:
I did this exercise ,over 5 times nowe, but every time with "Building the Detailed Product Page" at pg 1007, I get a bad result.
I only get one page (the default one with productID = 1) for every link on the indexpage.
In the adressbar (Live View) I see the right adress: for example: http://localhost/cos...hp?productID=16, but for all productID's only the detailspage for productID are shown.
There is also a message: Notice: Use of undefined constant ‘productID’ - assumed '‘productID’' in E:\xampp\htdocs\cosmo_shop\product.php on line 34
But I don't understand what could be wrong in this line.
Here is the code lines 33 -48: is is about the second line:
$varProduct_rsDetails = "32";
if (isset($_GET[‘productID’])) {
$varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET[‘productID’];
mysql_select_db($database_connCosmo, $connCosmo);
$query_rsDetails = sprintf("SELECT products.productID, products.productName, products.price, products.`description`, products.inventory, products.image, vendors.vendorName FROM products, vendors WHERE products.vendorID = vendors.vendorID AND products.productID = %s ", GetSQLValueString($varProduct_rsDetails, "int"));
$rsDetails = mysql_query($query_rsDetails, $connCosmo) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsDetails = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsDetails);
$totalRows_rsDetails = mysql_num_rows($rsDetails);
mysql_select_db($database_connCosmo, $connCosmo);
$query_rsCategories = "SELECT * FROM categories ORDER BY categoryName ASC";
$rsCategories = mysql_query($query_rsCategories, $connCosmo) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsCategories = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsCategories);
$totalRows_rsCategories = mysql_num_rows($rsCategories);
?>
Can someone tell me what is going on here?
Kind regards, Ans Hekerman

I can manually type in double brackets, like this:
$varProduct_rsDetails = "1";
if (isset($_GET["productID"])) {
$varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET["productID"];
this is accepted; no syntax-error report.
I can manually type in single brackets, like this:
$varProduct_rsDetails = "1";
if (isset($_GET['productID'])) {
$varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET['productID'];
this is also accepted; no syntax-error report.
Dreamweaver itself made this code:
$varProduct_rsDetails = "32";
if (isset($_GET[‘productID’])) {
$varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET[‘productID’];
this was not OK; there was a syntax-error report.
But strange enough, when I do paste this now from here, it is accepted.
So the problem has been, that DW created code that gave a syntax error.
I could repair it by replacing the single qoutes of DW, by typing single quotes in DW manually, or by typing in in DW manually double qoutes!!!
So maybe everybode was right!!!
But is was a very bad problem; maybe a "bug" of the program?
I repeated this about 10 times before I got the solution frome this Forum.

Legend in manual mode - Background color

Hi all,
To create legend in manual mode I am using following request URL for a style image.
http://127.0.0.1:8988/mapviewer/omserver?sty=L.ROAD&w=20&h=20&ds=cescdatasource
Here if the color of style is white (For example white color line style) then it won't be visible. Can I set background color?. I need different background color instead of white.
Thanks,
Sujnan

Either set the background color for the MapDecoration or for the table in which you display the legend or both.
e.g. (modification of tutorial 36 Map Legend)
// get the container DIV and set the background color to light blue
var legendDiv = legend.getContainerDiv();
legendDiv.style.backgroundColor = "AliceBlue"; //color name may not work in all browsers
function buildLegend(baseURL)
var html = "<table *bgcolor='gray'* border=0> <tr><td><img src="+baseURL+"/omserver?sty=L.PH&w=45&h=20&ds=mvdemo></td><td> Highways </td></tr>" +
" <tr><td><img src="+baseURL+"/omserver?sty=M.CITY+HALL+3&w=20&h=20&ds=mvdemo></td><td> Cities </td></tr>" +
"</table>";
return html;
}

Got the PSE 9 Missing Manual in Black and White?

Hey all, I don't normally talk about my books here, but if you recently ordered the Elements 9 Missing Manual from amazon and got it in black and white, please contact them.
They screwed up and somehow put it into their print on demand program instead of shipping the copies from O'Reilly. If you got one of these, get in touch with them and they'll send you a real copy as a replacement. The book should be in color.

Barbara:
Ordered mine from Amazon on 11/26/10. Shipping confirmation email received 11/28/10.
Full color. No problems.

Help with manual mode of Menu Widget in Muse

I'm building a family web page in Muse and I'd like to create a menu of my secondary webpages only. Since the Menu Widget's "menu type" options are Top Level pages, All Pages (neither option will work for me), and Manual- it seems like I should be able to use "Menu Type: Manual" and simply type in the menu items I would like- which I've done. What I can't figure out is how to link those menu items I manually created to the sub pages of my website.
A bit of background on my website structure. My top Level sites are: Welcome, and then 3 separate pages for each family member- and each member page has a few secondary pages (about, photos, contact):
Welcome
Member 1
about
photos
contact
Member 2
about
photos
contact
Member 3
about
photos
contact
My main site navigation- i.e. the menu widget for top level pages- is above my header (Light Gray). Below my header, I would like a horizontal or bar menu for ONLY the sub pages of that member: ie. About Member 1, Member 1's Photos, Contact Member 1 (Dark Gray)
I've created a menu widget in the Manual mode- I just can't seem to figure out how to link each menu option to the correct page. Currently in preview none of these manual menu items work.
Thanks!
LScarff

Hi Scarff.
When you opt to use manual mode for the Menus, you need to manually link the pages to menu items. To achieve this , you need to have the menu item selected and then using hyperlink option as shown in below screenshots link the corresponding page to it :
I hope this helps.

Sx20is--only blue registers in manual mode. Color okay in auto

In manual mode the only color in the image is blue. In auto mode the color is fine.

Check the white balance setting. You are probably set in the tungsten mode, so try a different setting to see if things change. The easiest thing would be to set the camera to Auto White Balance and take a few photos. Use the setting that is the closest to the actual conditions that you are shooting in.
To find the white balance, press the func/set button and scroll through the menus until you are at White Balance.

Can't set to manual mode if it's not listed in iTunes!

Hi,
I'm struggling with this infuriating "feature" where iPods can only be synced with one computer to ensure everything being up-to-date.
I just bought a new computer and want to copy new music to my iPod shuffle (2nd gen).
I don't need auto-syncing, I just want to copy music one-by-one, and I keep getting the Erase and Sync option when I connect the iPod. I've read other threads and it sounds like manual mode is what I need, but once I hit cancel at the Erase and Sync box the iPod doesn't appear in iTunes anywhere for me to change to manual mode! How can I get iTunes to recognize the iPod so I can set it to manual?
The iPod still works fine and I can see the files in My Computer, browse the iPod_Control directory, etc. So I don't think the iPod is broken in any way.
Also I tried editing the preferences in iTunes (I'm on v8 on Windows Vista) to stop auto-syncing with iPods and iPhones (that's an option somewhere in preferences) but it didn't help.
Any ideas!?
Thanks,
Raphi

An iPod shuffle cannot contain music from more than one computer at once; the manual mode referred to is present on other iPod models, but isn't available on the iPod shuffle.

Re: Password Assistant -- "The Missing Manual" references such a beast, but I cannot locate it. I have ver 10.6.8. Anyone out there who can help?

According to The Missing Manual, Version 10.6.8 of the Mac OSX Snow Leopard system should have a password generating utility, called the "Password Assistant," which actually generates passwords for you. I've been unable to find this miraculous utility on my Mac, and seek enlightenment from the learned readers of this community. Anyone out there have some light to shine on my dark corner?

I think the "Password Assistant" they are specifically referring to comes up when creating or changing an Account's password. For example, go into your System Preferences Accounts. Select an Account. Click the Change Password... The sheet that drops down has a little key in a box. Click that. And a window with the title "Password Assistant" is displayed.
Example: Using Apple’s Password Assistant
Note, the Password Assistant can also be brought up from Keychain Access's New Password Item... menu. It brings up a sheet with a little key too.
Lastly, a little google searching flushed out a little app which apparently directly uses the built in OS X Password Assistant used by Change Password and Keychain Access. It's called, no surprise, Password Assistant and can be found here.

How do I set the Shutter Speed in Manual Mode on my EOS 70D

I recently was forced to upgrade to a Canon 70D after my 50D died from a fall. I am not happy with the ease of setting the Shutter speed while in Manual mode. The only way I can currently set the shutter speed while in Manual mode, is to go to the info screen and set the shutter speed with the touch screen. The manual states that I should be able to set the Shutter speed with the Main Dial, behind the shutter release. ( which is how it was on the 50D). I can control the Aperture with the quick control dial. The Function Lock button is off.
I am sure this is do to some setting I have wrong, that is not allowing me to fix this issue, but I cant figure out what it could be after hours on the net and in the manual. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with this issue.
Thanks
Gene

Another possible solution is to use a battery grip on your 70D and see if the dial on the grip will change the shutter speed.
There are some discussions about this problem on some earlier models Canon DSLR. Check it out.

Start camera in manual mode?

whether you can make the camera to start immediately in manual mode?
Topic edited by Rickard
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It's not possible when using the camera button but if you tap "Camera" in the app drawer or home screen it will go to Manual if that's what you used last time.
