Poor interface with Adobe CS4 and setting the file size for emails

In frustrations over an unfixed bug in iPhoto (slide shows) in addition to too many limitations, I am trying out Aperture. So far it has been a big disappointment. I like Photoshop (CS4) with layers etc. as well as Adobe Camera Raw, both of which I intend to continue using. The workflow in Aperture appears disappointing (Photoshop) and totally absent (Adobe Camera Raw). It seems like Apple's attempt to capture some of Adobe's market share has has happened on the consumer's expense? Besides disappointing functionality, I have run into a surprising problem: No matter how I set the email photo export preset in preferences, the attachment shows up as a large file when exported to Entourage. The size does not change no matter how I set this preference.
My 21 years of loyalty and enthusiasm towards Apple has taken some heavy blows lately. With some 15000 photos and 35+ albums in iPhoto, I don't see too many alternatives. Can someone tell me if there is a way around these problems.

First of all I am not comparing Aperture to Photoshop by expecting the layers function. It is the interface between the two I am questioning. We obviously also have different expectations to Aperture. Mine are solely based on my experiences with iPhoto and what Apple tells me on their website:" Aperture 3 is a professional photography application that lets you refine images, showcase your photography, and manage massive photo libraries. Aperture 3 gives you all the easy-to-use tools you need to import, organize, compare, enhance, and share your photos." I do not find a single sentence stating that it is primarily a "Raw image editor processor" as you are defining it. I was not looking for a new raw editor. I was, however, based on Apple's claims above, expecting a combined advanced editing an photo library application. As such I also expected layers. That is not comparing it to Photoshop. Naturally our views are based on expectations and experiences, and ours are just different, that is all.

  • Export QuickTime file with new audio and maintain the file size and quality as the original.

    I shot some footage for a client yesterday and ran into an issue. To make a long story short I have QuickTime mov files shot with my Panasonic GH4 that have a buzzing sound in the audio track. I have clean audio from a recorder that can be sync'd. Is there a way for me to do this for the client and deliver them as the same QuickTime file but with the clean audio and keep the file size close to the original and not have quality loss in the image?
    If so I will probably put all of the spanned clips together from each interview and sync the audio before delivery. I am just not sure which codec will give the client the same quality footage compared to the originals and not have a massive difference in the overall file size. They did request that they be Quicktime MOV files though so that is a must.
    I don't see this as an option in the codecs in the export settings in PP, but is there a way to export as ProRes or another MAC native codec that will save them from having to convert it on their end? I am on a PC with Adobe CS5.5 so I am not too familiar with MACs, but from what I understand they would need to convert the files if I sent them straight out of the camera.
    I found some related search results for this but they pertained to "Best quality" for export. I am not sure how the varying options work but I don't want to create files that are considerably larger, just not less quality.
    If anyone has experience with this it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Cole

    Here's the workflow: I imported the video footage into iMovie '08 and did my edits. Then I exported it (share) to my desktop with compression set @ 740 X 480. Then I used QuickTime Pro to fix the audio track. The file plays perfectly with both audio tracks working. It's a QuickTime file (.mov).
    I hope this jars any replies as to why the file when uploaded to my iWeb gallery drops the second audio track.
    Hmm,

    Hi fabiangs,
    I'm not sure that I follow. Are you saying that when you open a PDF file in Acrobat or Reader, that the display resolution changes automatically on your system?
    What version of Acrobat/Reader are you using? Do you see this same issue in other files/applications?
    I look forward to hearing back from you.

  • Hi all! What is the best way to create the correct space for baseball jersey names and numbers? along with making sure they are the right size for large printing.

    What is the best way to create the correct space for baseball jersey names and numbers? along with making sure they are the right size for large printing.

    Buying more hard drive space is a very valid option, here.  Editing takes up lots of room, you should never discount the idea of adding more when you need it.
    Another possibility is exporting to MXF OP1a using the AVC-I codec.  It's not lossless, but it is Master quality.  Plus the file size is a LOT smaller, so it may suit your needs.

  • How to set the stack size for alchemy application?

    Anybody know how to set the stack size for alchemy application?
    If you know, please tell me how to adjust the stack size for alchemy application?

    Hi,
    The stack size is set as public const gstackSize in the alchemy generated code.  You can see this if you build with ACHACKS_TMPS set.  The default is one megabyte.
    One way to change the stack size is to use llvm-dis to disassemble avm2-libc/lib/avm2-libc.l.bc, generating avm2-libc.l.ll, modify the constant, and then use llvm-as to recompile your modified library and overwrite the old one.  These utilities should be in your path if alchemy is set up.

    What are you going for....DVD-VIDEO Widescreen on DVD disc or AVCHD format on DVD disc?
    Are you doing your burn to disc with a check mark next to "Fit Content To Available Space" in the burn dialog?
    When you have the DVD 4.7 GB/120 min in the burner tray and are in the burn dialog ready to hit Burn, what does the burn dialog quality area show for Space Require and Bitrate with and without the check mark next to "Fit Content To Available Space"?
    Just in case mention....the DVD disc with the 4.7 GB/120 min in reality is 4.38 GB.
    The goal is to find out if you are overlooking the "Fit Content To Available Space" option in the burn dialog. Depending on the circumstances to be defined, use of that option does not necessarily mean a compromise in the end product quality.
    Let us start here and then move forward based on the details of your reply.
    Thank you.

    Yeah - I tried that, several times; each time I get "iTunes is restoring the software on this iPhone" and after about 30 minutes the screen on the phone lights up again with the same screen I had before.  After that ... nothing.

  • How to set the fetch size for a ResultSet object?

    Connection con  = getConnection();
    Statement stmt = con.createConnection();
    ResultSet res = stmt.executeQuery("select * from table");
    //res.setFetchSize(?);
    while (res.next)
    res.get....
    }I do not know the number of rows .
    How can I set the fetch size for the ResultSet object?
    I try
    res.last();
    res.setFetchSize(res.getRow()/2);
    res.beforeFirst();
    while (res.next)
    res.get....
    }but it's so slow if there are 6000 rows.
    How can I set the fetch size for the ResultSet object more effectible?
    And what is the best number to set the fetch size?

    The fetch size defaults to a standard number. It is unlikely that it will be any faster if you set it unless you only plan to read a small number of rows.
    i.e. if you are going to read all the rows, you need to read all the rows no matter what.
    Unless the system has set the fetch size to 1 changing it will not be faster.
    Depending on the row length, reading in 6000 rows is going to take a long time. You could try using a cpu profiler to improve performance.
    Do you really need to read everything in every row?

  • Where can I find the file sizes for each application before downloading?

    Where can I find the file sizes for each application before downloading? I have limited download (525 MBs/day) because of Hughsnet and I need to know each applications total size before I download.

    You can go to the trial page to get an estimated size.  As the Creative Cloud products change over time though this may become less accurate.
    If you are on a limited bandwidth account then you may want to consider purchasing a perpetual copy of Creative Suite 6 as opposed to subscribing to the Creative Cloud.

  • Cfhttp and setting the content-type for a request

    Hi,
    I am trying to set the content-type for a cfhttp request like this (on coldfusion 9):
    <cfhttp redirect="no" method="get" timeout="120" url="http://10.0.0.1/test2.cfm">
        <cfhttpparam type="HEADER" name="Content-Type" value="application/json; charset=utf-8">
    </cfhttp>
    // coding on test2.cfm:
    <cfset x = GetHttpRequestData()>
    <cfdump var=#x#>
    // Output on test2.cfm
    content
    [empty string]
    headers
    struct
    Accept-Encoding
    deflate, gzip, x-gzip, compress, x-compress
    Connection
    TE
    Host
    10.0.0.1:80
    Proxy-Connection
    close
    TE
    trailers, deflate, gzip, compress
    User-Agent
    ColdFusion
    X-REWRITE-URL
    http://10.0.0.1:80/test2.cfm
    method
    GET
    protocol
    HTTP/1.1
    As you can see no content-type is send through. I also tried the sniffer.exe:
    GET http://10.0.0.1:80/test2.cfm HTTP/1.1
    Host: 127.0.0.1
    Proxy-Connection: close
    Connection: TE
    TE: trailers, deflate, gzip, compress
    User-Agent: ColdFusion
    Accept-Encoding: deflate, gzip, x-gzip, compress, x-compress
    Here you can also see that no content-type was passed through. The sniffer should report back
    GET http://10.0.0.1:80/test2.cfm HTTP/1.1
    Host: 127.0.0.1
    Proxy-Connection: close
    Connection: TE
    TE: trailers, deflate, gzip, compress
    User-Agent: ColdFusion
    Accept-Encoding: deflate, gzip, x-gzip, compress, x-compress
    Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
    But is does not, what do i need todo to set the content-type in a cfhttp request.
    Kind regards,
    Nebu

    12Robots - are you sure about your statement that GET method requests cannot have Content-Type headers?  I don't think that that is correct.  I've always thought that it was valid (maybe unusual, but ...) and this W3C link weems to agree, especially in the context of its comment about what Content-Type means in a HEAD method request: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html
    The big problem with trying to get around the CFHTTP limitation by using the CGI scope is that the dash is illegal in a CF varname.
    There is a custom tag called CFHTTP5 that getsaround a lot of the CFHTTP limitations, including cookie preservation across multiple requests.  I haven't used it for a long time (CF5), but it is still actively developed.  Costs $50 - http://www.cftagstore.com/tags/cfxhttp5.cfm

  • CS4 and Raw- small file size

    I have RAW files that are anywhere from 7-15MB.  They are opening as 10x15 inches.  My JPEGS open in much larger files sizes - about 50+ inches.  I have downloaded the latest Adobe RAW plug-in updates for CS4.  Using a Canon 40D.  Searched and seached online for an explanation. Thank you

    I think it just has to do with the resolution settings in the files.
    They are the same size but the resolution is set different.
    For example, the camera raw files are probably around 240 and the jpegs are around 72.
    If you open a jpeg and camera raw file and set the resolution of the jpeg to match the camera raw file, then they should
    be the same document size.
    Find the resolution of the camera raw file under Image>Image Size.
    Open one of the jpegs and in Image>Image Size uncheck Resample Image and type in the same resolution as the raw file
    and see if the document size is the same.

  • Adobe SendNow - What is the optimal size for custom logos?

    I just tried to upload a custom logo (800x200) and it seemed to be stuck up in the top left corner, with a large amount of blank white screen.
    What is the optimal size for this please, and how do I centre a smaller logo?
    It is of course entirely possible I will need to make one in PS - not a problem - but the right sizes would be helpful info please.
    Many Thanks

    That is what I read too - but when I uploaded one it got tucked up in the top left corner of the "custom" setup thumbnail.
    Perhaps it is just a glitch in that dialogue, but it certainly looked as if there was a raft of space to the right & underneath.
    Still, probably Pilot Error so I will recheck - thank you Dave.

  • Exporting Comp to Flash Animation (and Keeping the File Size Small)

    I have an animation I have made in AE which isn't terribly complicated.
    Maybe 450 X 250, mostly blank background. The artwork was done in Illustrator. There are about a dozen layers, all AI artwork, and the animation is about two seconds.
    When I export the animation as an SWF file, the file size is 1.2MB. What do I need to do to make the file size a lot smaller?
    I am not used to making animations for Flash. My AE animations are usually meant for video applications, but someone decided they want this animation to go on their web site instead.
    Thanks!

    If it is a frame by frame animation try importing the MOV file into Flash rather than exporting from AE.
    Not sure if this will work but it might.  When you publish the file in Flash you will get a resulting SWF file that is created automatically.  See if it is smaller.
