Pictures of weathered grave markers

have pics of weathered grave stones, new to photoshop, can photoshop be used to enhance these pictures to possibly read the markers ??

It's also worthwhile looking at the individual colour channels as sometimes one channel contains much more detail than the others. Unfortunately Elements does not have a channel mixer, unlike big brother Photoshop, but there is a tutorial here on how to create individual colour channel layers - Separate RGB Channel Layers
If these are 'real' photos that you're scanning then, if your scanner supports it, scan each colour channel individually and add these as layers to your full colour scan image - you may then be able to use the layer with the most detail to enhance the text on the full colour layer.

Can I import markers from Soundbooth?

I'm making a slide show; I've placed markers in soundbooth at every beat. Is there a way to import those markers into AP and have the pictures change on those markers? thanks.

Yes, that is what "Automate to Sequence" is for. It takes pictures and/or video from the project panel and puts them on the timeline on those markers, applying the default transition if desired.
I am in the middle of a huge (one hour plus) slideshow. What a hassle. Without "Automate to Sequence" it would be miserable.

Trying to set markers to skip thru DVD with remote control?

CS5. I'd like to know how to skip through a lengthy DVD with the player's remote control. I tried setting markers, first unnumbered then numbered, and it didn't work with the DVD when I played it on the VCR. I remember with PPRO 2.0 when this technique would work. You could even automatically set markers every so many minutes.

If you Exported as a 100% DVD-compliant MPEG-2 DVD, you should not need a Re-transcode.
If you did Export to MPEG-2 DVD, remember that it will be GOP (Group of Pictures) and that Chapter Markers can only go on I-Frames, so if you cannot get the En Chapter Marker where you drop it, just find the next I-Frame on either side of where you are trying to place it.

I am having a problem with printing "white marble grave markers'. The top of the stone turns pink when printed. I am using CS5 and Canon PhotoPaper Plus Semi gloss. The image was taken with the sun at the left of the image. I attempted to adjust in CS5 and got rid of some of it.
Thanks:

Hello pickball66.
For testing purposes, please try printing different objects or images to see if the top of the images also appear pink when printed.
If the issue persists with different images, please download the following image:

Symbols or pictures for series markers

I have a line chart and want to mark each series with a different picture or symbol.
( The report will be printing in black and white so color will not work well )
I don't see a way to do this. I tried to put a picture on the series marker but it looked like it completely ignored my picture.

I have version 11.5r2
Yes i have all the latest packs.
If i can't use different pictures or symbols for each series, I think CR has a major issue. I would think at the least CR should be able to choose different symbols ( aka squares, circles, diamonds, etc.. ) for each series.
Either way it does not help me now.
I need to display this graph in black and white. I guess I could use some grayscale colors, but even that could be hard to discern on a printout.
What do you suggest? Or what colors show up the easiest on black and white printers?

How do you add a new scene to beginning without disturbing movie with music and beat markers?

How do you add a new portion to the beginning of your project without disturbing the rest of the project that already has perfectly place clips attached to beat markers with the music ?
I forgot to add a tittle intro before the music starts with the attached pictures. When I try to add the whole project goes out of sync.
I want to just add an intro without disturbing the entire project.
Thanks

Well, if you re-attach your background music under the first clip, the starting point will be at the start of that clip so I think it will still be in sync. If not it's simply a matter of nudging the music track a bit along the timeline. Comparing the audio waveforms of the two tracks should help with this. When its right you can delete the track in the background music position. Now you can add what you like before the first clip without affecting sync.

Shared Project Workflow Problem: Hitting a Wall with Markers

Hi there,
Apologies in advance for the long note. We're using Adobe CC to edit and finish commercials and are having a significant issue regarding shared project workflow. First, some context:
We often edit projects remotely. When this happens, assistants and other editors who remain in LA will have access to the media on our SAN while the editor and assistant traveling out of town will have their own copy of the media. I know Adobe Anywhere would solve any issue relating to two identical sets of media in use in different cities, but we're a small shop and the hardware and software expense don't make sense for us at this time. Please do not respond to anything mentioned from here on by stating we should just get Adobe Anywhere. Thanks.
What will regularly happen is that the remote editor and assistant will need work done on the project here in LA while they're in session with the clients. Sometimes this work involves marking up clips with comment markers so the editor can more easily locate a specific moment. Here's where the problem arises.
Unlike FCP and Avid, Premiere handles markers within the clip's metadata. So, if I have two separate projects linking to separate but identical instances of media, one of those media instances gets updated with new markers, there is currently no way to get those markers to the other project without also shuttling the new marked-up media. This is not possible when a remote editor needs dailies marked up in a couple hours and is working across the country or abroad.
But let's assume for the sake of argument that it is possible and we apply this workflow. Let's also assume that in the time it takes the local assistant to mark up the clips for the remote editor, the editor has added a couple markers of his own, which is reasonable and happens all the time. Now when the editor links to the newly marked up clips he's received via shipment, he'll wipe out all the markers he's made on his own since giving the order to mark up the footage. That is a significant inconvenience, especially with clients in the room asking stuff like "can we look at the take where the guy says 'good' instead of 'great'?"
So what happens if we just have repeating sets of media, so that every time the clips markers get updated, the editor actually imports those clips, even though the picture and audio data in those clips is completely redundant to what's already in the project. The issues with this are, as I can see it, 1) increasing the amount complexity within the project so that you'd have to scan many bins of dailies to look for a single marker, 2) increasing by orders of magnitude the amount of storage space needed, 3) even if problems 1 and 2 are handled, if you have to go to finish with multiple versions of a cut, and those versions reference separate instances of the same clip from different bins, Premiere's dupe frame detection will not work and you'll need to spend a lot of extra time locating duplicate clips manually before sending your EDL or XML off to final color grading.
At this point, I think it's necessary to interject something: we're talking about markers here. Why is this such a problem? FCP and Avid have no such issues simply by making markers - even clip markers - part of the project metadata. From what I understand, Adobe has chosen to do things differently because of dynamic link, so that After Effects and Prelude, for example, could add markers to a clip and those markers would ripple across all instances of that clip in the different applications. It's a great feature which we take advantage of here from time to time.
So what's the solution?
My workaround in CS6, which does not solve the issue of needing to merge clip markers so that an editor's markers and an assistant's markers can be applied to a single piece of media, was to turn off "write XMP ID to Files on Import." This would generate an XMP sidecar file which could be easily passed along with a project file to the remote editor, who could then overwrite his local XMP sidecars with the new ones containing the new marker info.
However, in Premiere CC that is no longer possible. It appears that if Premiere CC can access the XMP ID on a file, it will not generate a sidecar regardless of what you have set in your media preferences. We use ProRes Proxy as our dailies format (again, please no comments on this, it is not up for debate at this time) and Premiere can get to the XMP ID within the files and will not, no matter what it seems, generate an XMP sidecar.
We could change the company workflow to use DNxHD 36 instead of ProRes Proxy, which would give us XMP sidecars, but that would not solve the issue of needing to merge marker lists between projects non-destructively.
The best solution I can think of would be to have a script or some kind or built-in feature which would allow for the batch export, import and merging of marker lists. This way Adobe could keep its current clip-metadata-based marker workflow while giving professional users needing more flexible marker behavior the ability to have assistants non-destructively modify clip markers without necessitating the creation of extra media or project complexity.
I would really love some input on this and ideas from the pro community out there who has experience with shared project workflows - especially projects being shared remotely. There's not a lot of info out there about this and it would be great to hear what others are doing.
Thanks a million for sticking with this, if you've made it this far.
Best,
Jon

Thanks Jim,
I understand that Adobe Anywhere solves this, but there should be this fairly basic functionality (which exists in Avid and FCP) in a non-enterprise edition of the software. I have submitted a couple different feature requests about this, going back to CS5, so hopefully enough people make similar requests for a fix to be implemented. Adobe Anywhere is really not a solution for our small shop as currently configured/priced, especially when we can have editors working remotely with very affordable USB 3 drives. The only hangup is the markers, which just isn't worth a 5 figure fix. As such it's hard to consider the problem solved for either us or any small shop or post crew.
Best,
Jon

Chapter Markers won't show up on Chapter Menu when trying to burn a DVD.

Help,
Trying to burn an SD DVD disc in FCP X from the Share menu. I've set Orange Chapter Markers with Titles in my project from the timeline and these don't appear when I check the box to use chapter markers for Subtitles in the Destinations box to burn a DVD. I've set a photo in the main menu and it appears with the Title of my Project, but in the Chapter Menu it only shows the default list of Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc. Shouldn't my Chapters show up on the list after they've been set up on my timeline in the project? Also, I tried burning a disc with my Chapters not showing up on the chapter list and my disc only plays from the Main menu where the picture is inserted. There's a slash line in the Chapter list button stating I can't use that option and I can't play chapters. Trying to get this project out the door before January 20, 2013. Can someone please help?
Thanks,
Dave

Can you post some screen shots? The chapter marker dialog box in the timeline. The DVD menu.
What's playing back the DVD?
Have you tried it without the background image? Build a disk image rather than burn a disc.

Premiere CC renders RED PICTURES to QT DNxHD Video into Blends

Hello Community,
I'm new in here but I try hard to give all the details.
In my company we use Premiere Pro CC Version 7.2.2 (33) on a Win7 PC.
Every time Premiere CC renders a QuickTime DNxHD there are these red pictures coming up. You cant see anything from the original pictures - there is just red for about 10 frames
They are most frequent before of after a blend.
We have tried to save them to different places (Desctop, 2 Plates,...)
We have tried to change the settings like "max. render Quality"
We have tried to render with and without "In-/Out Markers"
We have tried to export it directly in Premiere CC as well as exporting it to Media Encoder
We have tried to change where ever you can change the Renderer Setting from "GPU" to "only Software"
... and so on
one in a million times it works but if you try it twice with the exact same settings it's red again. So it must be a different Problem which we cant handle yet..
Maybe you have any idea what the problem can be
Many thanks in advance

I would definitely suggest a new system since the CPU's in that are really not going to push the 680GTX Mac card which is far better than the Quadro. The effects your using are really going to slow the export down since those take significant CPU processing. A 6 Core workstation with one of the current Ivy-E chips would perform far better for the workflow you have and those effects. Plan on 32GB of ram as well.

My podcasts do not show the pictures only the sound when I import them to iTunes from Garage Band. How do I get the pictures to show up in iTunes?

My podcasts do not show the pictures only the sound when I import them to iTunes from Garage Band. How do I get the pictures to show up in iTunes?

Well, all I can tell you is that if your file is an m4a with chapter markers, those markers having suitably sized images attached, and you drag it into the Music area of iTunes (so that it appears as a song) in List view, when you play it and then command-click on the small image in the header (next to the progress bar) you should see your embedded images.
If this isn't happening the best place to ask would be in the GarageBand forum: my own experience of GB is rather out of date and in any case I've never used it for podcasting.

Chapter Markers won't appear on Marker list in FCP X settings when trying to Burn a Standard Definition Disc

This "Share" feature behaves the same in both FCP7 and FCPX (it may actually be the only thing they have in common).
Since the specification for DVD-Video does not support titled chapter points, the text that you have entered for the marker does not appear on the burned DVD. You only get DVD chapter points at the same time index as the time code position of the FCP marker (and even then, it's at the closest i-frame of the MPEG2 GOP structure). Also, the first frame is always "Chapter 1". So, if your first FCP7/X marker at two minutes is named "Later that day...", then on the burned DVD it will appear as "Chapter 2".
Checking "use chapter markers for Subtitles" was a good guess; however, this feature turns extended markers into subtitles (a very, very quick way to create subtitles, but limited when compared to what can be done in DVD Studio Pro).
Could a QuickTime movie burned to a DVD-R/+R work instead of a DVD? QuickTime chapter markers support text.
