Printing out-poor results

Hi there,
i´m a new user of Aperture. I use a canon 400D, take pictures in RAW and L jpgs (store it on external HD). I use a Canon Pixma IP 5300 for printing out. I wasn´t ever happy with the results whenever I print out on my own. So I exported a picture to the (now empty) Iphoto library and..., way better results! Much more natural and easier to handle.
My question:
What am I´m doing wrong? Is it color settings in Aperture? What settings should I use to get the most natural out of my prints?
thanks for your help in advance

Aperture really wants to manage colour during printing.
One common problem seems to be having your printer (driver) set to colour management, and then Aperture doing it as well. (This is probably not the only problem...)
One of the O'Reilly Inside Aperture Podcasts, with Joe Schorr, covers this very issue.

How do I print out the results of a "search" or "find"?

I used ical's "find" or "search" field to look up all calendar entries for a project I was working on. How do I print out this result? This is basically the information in the lower right box after you do a search.

Dear Bri81,
Thank you for your reply.
I tried the coding as you suggested
while(i.hasNext())
System.out.println( i.next() );
but the error message reads:

After EHP6 Upgarde Picking list print out is resulting format & overlapping issues

Hi All,
We have recently upgraded our system from ECC 6.0 to EHP6 .Now when user trying to print a Picking list document then Print out is overlapping with content .
But when we check the spool the Print Priview looks good but when trying to print the content is overlapping & observed the font size is chaned i.e. the content is displayed in Bold format .
But for those spools which were created before upgarde & when we give a print then Print out is fine. So some thing happend after upgrade that causing us the Print out problem .
we are using device type HPLJ4 & try to print Picking list output and it is causing problem.
Kindly provide your suggestions.
Thanks and regards,
Dilip

Hello Peng Wen,
Thanks for your reply and yes the issue got resolved . Actually we are using a custom device type ZHPLJ4 which is a copy of HPLJ4 . But as part of Upgrade ZHPLJ4 HELVE with scalablity is no longer supported. So we have removed the entry from SE73 as it even doesnt exist in HPLJ4 . Now it is working as expected.
Thanks a lot for your replay.
Thanks and regards,
Dilip

How do I use multiple classes to print out different results

I tried the below, but it only printed the print line from the class that contains the "main" method, but I want the second one (Demo2) to print to check some logic :
class StaticDemo {
int x;
static int y;
class Demo {
public static void main(String args[]){
StaticDemo.y = 30;
System.out.println("StaticDemo.y = " + StaticDemo.y);
class Demo2 {
public static void main(String args[]){
System.out.println("StaticDemo.y 2 = " + StaticDemo.y);
}

You can only have one main method. Try something like this:
class StaticDemo
   int x;
   static int y;
class Demo
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      StaticDemo.y = 30;
      System.out.println("StaticDemo.y = " + StaticDemo.y);
      Demo2 d2 = new Demo2();
      d2.display();
class Demo2
   void display() {
      System.out.println("StaticDemo.y 2 = " + StaticDemo.y);

Printing out results in case of object-relational table (Oracle)

I have made a table with this structure:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE Boat AS OBJECT(
Name varchar2(30),
Ident number,
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE Type_boats AS TABLE OF Boat;
CREATE TABLE HOUSE(
Name varchar2(40),
MB Type_boats)
NESTED TABLE MB store as P_Boat;
INSERT INTO House VALUES ('Name',Type_boats(Boat('Boat1', 1)));
I am using java to print out all the results by calling a procedure.
CREATE OR REPLACE package House_boats
PROCEDURE add(everything works here)
PROCEDURE results_view;
END House_boats;
CREATE OR REPLACE Package.body House_boats AS
PROCEDURE add(everything works here) AS LANGUAGE JAVA
Name House_boats.add(...)
PROCEDURE results_view AS LANGUAGE JAVA
Name House_boats.resuts_view();
END House_boats;
However, I am not able to get Results.view working in case of object-relation table. This is how I do it in the situation of relational table.
CALL House_boats.results_view();
House_boats.java file which is loaded using LOADJAVA:
import java.sql.*;
import java io.*;
public class House_boats {
public static void results_view ()
   throws SQLException
   { String sql =

   try { Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:default:connection:");
   PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
   ResultSet rset = pstmt.executeQuery();
printResults(rset);
rset.close();
pstmt.close();
   catch (SQLException e) {System.err.println(e.getMessage());
static void printResults (ResultSet rset)
   throws SQLException { String buffer = "";
   try { ResultSetMetaData meta = rset.getMetaData();
   int cols = meta.getColumnCount(), rows = 0;
   for (int i = 1; i <= cols; i++)
   int size = meta.getPrecision(i);
   String label = meta.getColumnLabel(i);
   if (label.length() > size) size = label.length();
   while (label.length() < size) label += " ";
buffer = buffer + label + " "; }
buffer = buffer + "\n";
   while (rset.next()) {
rows++;
   for (int i = 1; i <= cols; i++) {
   int size = meta.getPrecision(i);
   String label = meta.getColumnLabel(i);
   String value = rset.getString(i);
   if (label.length() > size) size = label.length();

There are several things wrong with your code and methodology
1. The code you posted won't even compile because there are several syntax issues.
2. You are trying to use/test Java in the database BEFORE you get the code working outside the DB
3. Your code is not using collections in JDBC properly
I suggest that you use a different, proven approach to developing Java code for use in the DB
1. Use SIMPLE examples and then build on them. In this case that means don't add collections to the example until ALL other aspects of the app work properly.
2. Create and test the Java code OUTSIDE of the database. It is MUCH easier to work outside the database and there are many more tools to help you (e.g. NetBeans, debuggers, DBMS_OUTPUT windows, etc). Trying to debug Java code after you have already loaded it into the DB is too difficult. I'm not aware of anyone, even at the expert level, that develops that way.
3. When using complex functionality like collections first read the Oracle documentation (JDBC Developer Guide and Java Developer's Guide). Those docs have examples that are known to work.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/java.111/b31225/chfive.htm
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/java.112/e16548/oraarr.htm#sthref583
The main issue with your example is #3 above; you are not using collections properly:
String value = rset.getString(i);
A collection is NOT a string so why would you expect that to work for a nested table?
A collection needs to be treated like a collection. You can even treat the collection as a separate result set. Create your code outside the database and use the debugger in NetBeans (or other) on this replacement code for your 'printResults' method:
static void printResults (ResultSet rset) throws SQLException {
    try {
       ResultSetMetaData meta = rset.getMetaData();
       while (rset.next()) {
           ResultSet rs = rset.getArray(2).getResultSet();
           rs.next();
           String ndx = rs.getString(1);
           Struct struct = (Struct) rs.getObject(2);
           System.out.println(struct.getSQLTypeName());
           Object [] oa = struct.getAttributes();
           for (int j = 0; j < oa.length; j++) {
              System.out.println(oa[j]);
    } catch (SQLException e) {
       System.err.println(e.getMessage());
That code ONLY deals with column 2 which is the nested table. It gets that collection as a new resultset ('rs'). Then it gets the contents of that nested table as an array of objects and prints out the attributes of those objects so you can see them.
Step through the above code in a debugger so you can SEE what is happening. NetBeans also lets you enter expressions such as 'rs' in an evaluation window so you can dynamically try the different methods to see what they do for you.
Until you get you code working outside the database don't even bother trying to load it into the DB and create a Java stored procedure.
Since your current issue has nothing to do with this forum I suggest that you mark this thread ANSWERED and repost it in the JDBC forum if you need further help with this issue.
https://forums.oracle.com/community/developer/english/java/database_connectivity
When you repost you can include a link to this current thread if you want. Once your Java code is actually working then try the Java Stored procedure examples in the Java Developer's Guide doc linked above.
At the point you have any issues that relate to Java stored procedures then you should post them in the SQL and PL/SQL forum

When I print out photo thru iPhoto, the result is too dark.

Hi all,
I have a problem with printing a photo via iPhoto recently.
I remember when I used iPhoto 9 to print out some of my photos but at that moment the result was pretty OK to me.
However, I don't know exatly when but I guess it could be since I upgraded to iPhoto 10...
Everytime I tried to print out some of my photos from my iPhoto library, the result is way too dark than its original color.
I am using HP Photosmart device(C410ㅁ) with fuji photo papers.
I tried to change several options like color sync or printing quality but NO use!!
Strange thing is that if I use airprint with my iPhone or iPad, color level seems to be OK.
But again, iPhone airprint doesn't give any options to manage printing quality level, it couldn't mitigate my problem, either.
Is there anyone out there who has the same or similar problem just like me?
Please share your knowledge to solve this issues.
Thanks in advance
Luke.

What is the color profile of the photo?

Poor results importing PSE7 slideshows into PRE7

I originally posted this query into the Photoshop Elements forum ('cos I couldn't find this one originally...) and received some very helpful replies from Barb__O - thanks Barb. These have given me some useful leads on things to try, which I've done and did see some improvements, but I'm still not at the point of being happy with the results. The problem appears to be a PRE problem, so reposting here...
I am trying to put together a video presentation for output directly to PC monitor (more specifically, LCD data projector of 1024 x 768 resolution) and then record to DVD, in PAL SD format.
The presentation is to contain slideshows put together in PSE7 (so they already include title slides, transitions, Ken Burns effects and music tracks) and video clips from a couple of different sources - one clip is a scanned Standard 8 film (format is a frame-to-frame AVI at 720 x 576 resolution ie SD PAL) and some clips from a 1440 x 1080 HD (H.264) video camera (Canon HF10). Reading through some of the forums, I'm doubting that PRE7 will be able to handle this variety of input formats...
The still images come from many sources - digital camera, scanned prints (B&W and colour) and scanned transparencies. All images were dropped into the PSE7 slideshow in their respective original sizes/resolutions. There are close to 100 images in the slideshow. Apart from a few scanned B&W print enlargements that were spat out by PSE7 because they were too large (other photo editors had no problem with them - seems PSE is a little precious in this regard...) the process of putting the slide show together went pretty smoothly.
Playing the finished slideshow in the PSE7 preview window, the results were excellent. Exporting the slideshow as a 1024 x 768 WMV file and playing it in any media player yielded the same, excellent results! So far, so good.
I then wanted to put everything together using PRE7 - slideshows, video clips and titles. From PSE7 I clicked the "send slideshow to Premiere Elements" at which point the slideshow was dutifully dropped into my currently opened PRE7 project. As the project already contained the aforementioned scanned Standard 8 clip, the project setting was PAL DV 48kHz. I was feeling exuberant at this stage. I added a couple of title slides and a transition or two and played the result in the PRE7 full screen preview window...
I was absolutely horrified with what I saw when the slideshow started to play. All of the still images were badly pixellated, had jagged edges and any vertical wipe transitions had a horrible, angular ripple effect. In short, unwatchable.
As I had to get the presentation done and was clearly getting nowhere with PRE7, I exported all my slideshows out of PSE7 as WMVs, my video clip out of PRE7 as an AVI and dropped everything into Windows Movie Maker, with excellent results on the PC monitor and the LCD projector. Clearly there was/is a problem with PRE7 or one or more of its esoteric settings.
I now want to add another slideshow and the HD video clips mentioned above to the presentation and then burn to DVD. I would like to use PRE7 to do this, as I can set up menu markers where I want and I want to make finer adjustments to relative positions of stills and video than Movie Maker will allow - but obviously this is all dependent on resolving the quality problems.
After suggestions given by Barb, I played around with the PRE7 project setting and tried various settings here, eg HDV, SVHCD etc. These certainly improved the quality of the still images in the slideshows (to the point where I was happy with them), but the transitions were still ugly and the pan/zoom effects became jerky and distracting, not only that, but the music track that I had synchronised with the slideshow, with a nice fade out at the end, just ended abruptly - again distracting and not at all good.
To be honest I'm confused with that project setting - should this be set to the format I want the finished project output to end up in, or is it set to the format of video input to the project? If the latter, how does it deal with different format video clips?
I've also read about the recommendation to set all still images to 1000 x 750 pixels - this would have been fine if I'd known this *before* I put together the slideshows, I don't want to have to re-do them all again (or can I re-size the images while they are actually *in* the slideshow?)! Besides, PSE7 itself and Windows Movie Maker handle images larger than this, quite happily. Why can't PRE7? Also, how is this resolved for large portrait orientated images? What is the primary dimension (width or height)?
As an aside, I tried re-sizing a single image to 1000 x 750 and dropping straight into PRE7, but I still get poor results (ie grainy, pixellated image)! ("Scale to framesize" is off)
So am I flogging a dead horse here or can I resurrect things so that I can end up with a reasonably professional looking result? I really want to love these two products, they do some things really well, but so far, my overall user experience has been one of complete frustration and disappointment. The user interfaces of these two products have to be about the worst I've come across!
Thanks.

Steve,
FYI - I think that MK had already tried sending directly from PSE 7 to PRE 7 see his mention of
I then wanted to put everything together using PRE7 - slideshows, video
clips and titles. From PSE7 I clicked the "send slideshow to Premiere
Elements" at which point the slideshow was dutifully dropped into my
currently opened PRE7 project. As the project already contained the
aforementioned scanned Standard 8 clip, the project setting was PAL DV
48kHz.
One of my concerns about the specifc scenario is that the PE project setting was PAL SD video and the expected projector resolution was thought to be 1024x768 (and therefore higher resolution). even with Scale to Framesize off, I was not sure if that resolution difference would be a problem.
Your suggestion is making the PAL SD DVD and then using a software DVD player to play that DVD to the 1024x768 projector. That is a different approach that I had not considered -- but it would probably avoid some of the awkwardness of dealing with 2 distinct types and resolutions of output.
MK,
Your earlier post (if I understood it correctly) said that after the presentation using the projector, you would be making DVDs for distribution. Now I suspect that these would be standard definiton DVDs and probably PAL.
I recommend that you confirm in this thread what your current plans are for distributiion and playback.
Once the best fit for a PE project type is resolved, I do think it is worth another try of sending the slideshow from PSE 7 slide show editor to the PE 7 project.
Yes, you may expereince some timing differences between the playback you saw in the PSE slide show editor and what you see in the playback under Premiere Elements (note Steve's point to be sure that you should render in PE before doing playback). Based on what you observe for your specific slide show, these differences can be discussed.
ADDITIONAL comments
played the result in the PRE7 full screen preview window...
I missed this earlier. Because your computer monitor is probably much higher resolution, I question whether this full screen preview is an effective evaluation of the final quality. Steve and Hunt, what are your comments on this?
MK
can I re-size the images while they are actually *in* the slideshow?)!
Besides, PSE7 itself and Windows Movie Maker handle images larger than
this, quite happily.
re-size images while they are actually in the slide show -- maybe but not easy
1 --When in the PSE slide show or from the PE Timeline, you can edit an individual photo and replace the existing photo with the results of that edit. However that is a one at a time operation and most probably not what you want. It is better suited to adjustments to a specific photo when you determine it needs to be differrent for this slide show.
2 --Once your slide show is on the Premiere Elements Timeline, a few people have swapped out a folder of photos and brought in a different folder of downsized same photos. This is tricky but probably can be done: it is probably simpler if all photos are in the same folder. Also portrait photos probably need to be handled separately from landscape photos.
FYI - PSE 7 slide show can sometimes handle larger images and you did not have a problem - but others do have problems and you might in the future. This seems to depend on both the specifics of the photo files and the computer system configuration.

Trouble printing out correct colours

Hi all,
I'm trying to print out a DVD cover that I've made in after effects (I'm not too good on PS). It's a brown leather book. I've loaded it into PS as a jpg and I've tried to print it out to my printer, but it's coming out really red, almost magenta. The darker spots are especially poor.
The printer si a HP with 6 ink cartyridges. It's not particularly good, but I expected a better result.
I didn't really understand all the print options in PS, but tried a few. Most look quite similar.
I'm printing to some Ryman's own, double sided matte photo paper, but I've also tried other paper.
I also tried a normal photo and it didn't look too bad.
Is there anything I can do to try to get a better colour representation?
here's the image I'm trying to print:
cheers

Try using the HP paper that the company recommends for the printer. HP tests their paper with their colors to ensure good a match. Also there should be (not sure) a printing option to select the HP drivers to use for printing and not adobe. Also check to see if RGB is selected for printing.

How can I print out the graph I need only, without the controls and indicators?

I'm doing some programming in LABVIEW. I need to print out only the graph, without the buttons, controls, indicators. I tried to look for such a function in LABVIEW, but in vain. How can I achieve the result I expect in my programming?

Hi Fenny,
you should use the report generation functions to create a report containing your graph image and print it.
Take a look at the Sample Test Report.vi you find in the report examples of LV.
Just look at the part of the diagram where it is used Append Control Image to report.vi (in the center of the report functions chain); a graph reference is wired to the Ctrl reference input ( to create a reference of your graph right click on it and select create reference).
Let me know if you need more help,
Alberto

How can I print out the contents of my hardrive

I have a hardrive with about 200 video clips and need to print the titles for cross refrerencing. I was just going to "grab" screenshots but this will take about ten sheets of paper. How can I print out a list of all the files on the drive?

I tried this Finder drag method & discovered that it is very important to set the blank TextEdit document to plain text before the drag (from the format menu or with Cmd-shift-t). If you don't, TextEdit attempts to load the content of the files!
Once I discovered this, I tried the method with Find (Cmd-F) results & it works for that, too. This means that by choosing the right combination of search location(s) & search criteria, you can extend the method to filter the list to just about any files you want, which could be very handy.
For instance, set the "Kind" criteria to "QuickTime Movie" & location to "Computer" & you get a list of every QT movie. Or set the search location to the folder containing the movies of interest & you get all of them, including ones in subfolders. You could also use the 'date created' or other search criteria to filter the list to a specific subset of movies (or whatever).
If you need to do this often, you could create one or more 'Smart Folders' with the criteria preloaded for each search.
The only drawback I see for either Finder based method is the full path one. If you are getting results from just one or a few folders, Find & Replace can delete any of the path name fairly easily, but it becomes a chore if there are a lot of different ones. Some other text editor, like TexEdit Pro, that supports grep searches would be handy here, but since I'm not up to speed on grep, someone else will have to explain how to use it for this, if they want.

Print quality poor on bitmap logos when printing from InDesign

We have a studio of MACs. One of them prints this indesign document fine, the quality of the bitmap images looks like it does on screen.
On all the other MACs printing to the same Printer the bitmap logos on the same document print out with really poor quality.
Any ideas ?? This is driving me mad as have checked the printer settings and it appears they match the working MAC.
Dont think its a driver thing as all other documents and anything other than bitmap logos print fine.

They have said the following regarding the file type ...... They are saved as tif files but in photoshop they are converted to Bitmap under the Image>Mode>Bitmap option
