Problem with sharpness

I am trying to edit many of my photos but have encountered a problem.
When I double click the photo it opens in the edit window. Then I click on the double >> and the adjust window opens. One of the sliders is for sharpness and when I slide that to the right it is very obvious the photo gets sharper. Then I click done and a little window drops down that says "saving changes". However, if I watch carefully I can see that just before the window closes the photo goes back "out of focus".
Anyone have any idea what is going on and how I get the photo to stay "sharpened"?
Thanks
Dave

Have you tried viewing the "sharpened" image at full size? See Sharpness adjustment not apparent when viewed at less than 100%.

Problem with Displayport and HDMI on 15pro Late2013

I just got a new 15pro few days ago(the one with 750M video card)
When I trying to connect it to my external monitor(DELL U2913WM 2560 x 1080) by miniDisplayport(to miniDP port), everything shown on my external monitor looks like I'm using a VGA cable instead. All images and texts are not clear.
I have another windows PC, whcih is using HDMI-HDMI with this monitor, everything are very clear. ==> No problem with the HDMI cable and monitor.
Then I tried to connect my MBP with HDMI-HDMI cable, both screen went dark for every 3 second peroid(and it is still not clear when the screen is on), again and again
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Thanks, I finally find the same question here,posted a year ago.

Video out problem with Dynex 32" 720p TV

Hi folks. I bought my new Dynex TV a few days before New Years. It's great, really sharp, and I've had no problems with it. However, I do have a DVD recorder so I can record my games. Tonight, I attempted to use the A/V output on my TV and connected them to my DVD recorder (which plugs into my computer). I clicked "capture" and got an error telling me that a connection could not be established and that I should double check my cables. I could hear the audio playing through my laptop speakers just fine. I couldn't see the video, for some reason .
It's not the cables, I just took them off of my old TV to use them here.
What can I do? Should I return my TV?

What about output from a gaming console, like a PS3? Is that only digital sources or does it matter how the PS3 is connected to the television to determine if's its a digital or analog signal? Right now I get no output when I try to send the video of my PS3 to my composite video in on my computer's TV tuner card.

Lightroom 4.2 - Experiencing problems with images viewed on 2nd monitor

Hi All,
This problem seems to have started with my updating from 4.1 to 4.2. I have my second monitor set as Loupe - Normal and Fit. As I crop an image on my main monitor, the 2nd monitor view does not always change to the cropped view. If I switch to a different photo and then back to the one I just cropped, the 2nd monitor view will then show the cropped image, but it is almost always blurry. Sometimes I can click the image in the 2nd monitor view to change to a 1:1 view and it will look sharp, and then click again back to Fit and then it too will be sharp. Other times I get a message in the 2nd monitor view that says "no image selected" and bouncing back and forth between a different image will correct this.
This all started off with the majority, but not all cropped images showing as blurred and progressed to what I have described above. I seriously though I had a focus problem with my camera!
Is anyone else experinecing this since updating? Suggestions?
Below is the suggested information to provide...
What version of Lightroom? 4.2
Have you installed the recent updates? Yes, 4.2
What operating system? Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
What kind(s) of image file(s)? All images are converted to .dng upon import
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)? No error messages.
What were you doing when the problem occurred? I am in the develop module cropping images etc.
What other software are you running? Silver Efex Pro 2, but I have had that installed in many prior versions of Lightroom
Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed? 32 GB - Yes, I know - overkill...
How much free space is on your system (C:) drive? 119 GB of 223 GB of my solid state drive c:\
Has this ever worked before? Yes
If so, do you recall any changes you made to Lightroom, such as adding Plug-ins, presets, etc.? No other changes other than updating to 4.2
Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers, or installing/uninstalling any programs? No, no other changes.
Thanks!

Problems with sound from external speakers after iOS 5.0.1 update

Have others experienced problems with external speakers on the Iphone 4 after iOS 5.0.1 update? My phone no longer rings, sounds when i receive a text message, sounds alarm, etc. Vibrate works fine and when i plug in headphones I can hear music through the headphones. Any fixes for this?

Hi Guys,
I have post eariler on another forum and I have the same problem, I have tried all the things listed here and nothing was perminant in fixing this painful iphone hating problem.... and failed. You probably have the problem when you use youtube or your music external speaker that there is no volume bar and no sound.   I have had the same problem But I need to happily say that I now have the fix!!!! This worked for me and I fixed it by myself so you don't need to go to apple or service centre or anything.
Ok I like so many of you here truly believed this was as IO5 issue as it only dropped the sound on the speakers once that IO5 update came along. I tried a bunch of reset, reboots, home clicks, lock and unlocks, to fix this and all failed. some worked for an hour but then failed. hours of my life that I will never get back.   but since I have learnt this is not a IO5 problem but a hardware issue! ... and in paticualar is has to do with your bottom connection. Your phone is thinking it is docked all the time.
To fix the no sound problem what you need is...
1. a torch
2. a tooth brush
3. methalated spirits
4. a butter knife
Step 1.
get your torch and shine it down the bottom connection plate to see what kind of dust, sand, hair or anything you have stuck in there.   all that need to be removed! everything! it might look clean but still thats ok go to step 2.
step 2.
Turn on your music app and put the speakers on! If your phone is like mine it should not work. you most probably don't even have the volume display to turn it on but its ok, just do it! and it should still play with no sound.   its important you try and run the speakers as this will show you that it is a hardware problem.
step 3.
Dip your tooth brush into some methated sprits.   then at your sink tap the exess metho out of your brush as you just want the brushes to be slightly damp, not soaking wet and then scrub the bottom connetiors on your iphone. work the brush back and forward in a way that scoops the dirt out of the phone, not just pushing it side to side.
(As you bushing you should notice the volume bar come back on or off as you scub.   This happened to me and that is how I realised I was on the right track to fixing this problem as I was doing something external that was actually controling when the volume display came on or off.   but once I cleaned it this still didn't fix the problem...)
Step 4.
Use the back side of a butter knife (not the sharp side) to gently slide over the connectors on the iphone. Do this gently as you are only pushing down on the tiny metal contect bars and you should notice the volume display come on again. slide it back and forward. Now the area of interest is about 2/3 along the connection plate to the right.   This is the area that has the infomation sent when your iphone thinks its docked.
This has worked for me and I have not had a problem since I did this 2 weeks ago.   I have since learnt that the new IOS 5 has activated a different part of the bottom conectors. if you have been using dodgy connectors or unapproved apple cables (as I was) any damage or hair and dirt on the terminal this is effecting it. Try it.   just remember if you can do something external to your phone then there lies the problem.
Hope this works for your phone as it did for mine.
Cheers

HDMI On Mac Mini Late 2012: Problem with hardware?

Just converted from PC to Mac.
Purchased latest mac mini (Late 2012 version)
Have tried several monitors through HDMI port and each time the picture quality is poor with very bad text resolution.
Have tried HDMI to HDMI and also tried HDMI to DVI adaptor.
This is with full 1080p 27 inch samsung monitor and HP 2010i monitor.
Is there a problem with the HDMI port on this new mac mini?
The monitors I have are fine and are crystal sharp when connected to PC.
Many thanks if you can answer this

OK. So I have now tried LG 27 Inch E2742 Monitor as follows:
1) Mini display to DVI-D : Picture good with decent text resolution
2) HDMI-HDMI: Picture poor with poor colour and text resolution. This is not a calibration issue.
The samsung monitor 27 inch series 3 also has poor picture and colour and text resolution with HDMI-HDMI. Again this is not a calibration issue. It does not have a DVI-D input to test the minidisplay port.
So it seems the HDMI port is not working properly but the minidisplay one is ok as I suspected.
From reading the other threads it seems this is a common problem including those people that have taken their minis back for an exchange and experienced same problem.
Is there likely to be a software update to resolve this?

If I paste the jpeg on a draw page and shrink it to fit, fuzzy print. If I create the text directly on a draw page, it's fine. (That suggests to me the problem isn't in the printer.) But I want to include a small drawing on the card, and the pasted jpeg of that small drawing is very poor quality.

Problems With Zen Touch Turn

After just recently purchasing a Zen Touch in December 2005, I already have problems with it.
I have never dropped it or hit it. I plugged it in to re-charge one day after using it and when it was done charging I turned it on, used it for 5 minutes then set it down. The next morning I went to turn it on to use it, and it wouldn't turn on. The blue light at the side on the power button was on, but the screen just wouldn't show up. Now the blue light won't turn off. I have read about these problems with Zen Micro freezing up and read about Zen Touch freezing up back in 2004 when it was released. I have phoned the number but couldn't seem to get through. Should I consider taking it in? Or is there an easier way?

Have you tried resetting it's Connect to the mains adapter and press the tiny recessed button on the side of the player. Don't use anything sharp to press it, a bent paper clip is best.

IPhoto problem with email, export, editing...

Had my iMac upgraded with a new harddrive and Lion at my authorized retailer & service center. All has been good but did not use iPhoto much after the upgrade, but all seemed to be good.
Recently photographed a family occasion and now I experience the following problems;
1. After successful import I edit the pictures which leads to numerous crashes, seemingly randomly, but most frequently when jumping from editing one picture to the next.
2. Share, Email does not work, only a few of the selected pictures are sent, sometimes with a low resolution thumbnail instead of the desired picture. The selection process works normally, but when the mail has been formatted only a few or none picture are inserted, in any of the templates, including classic. The number of selcted photos and their size are reported normal, they just don't show up in the mail itself
3. Resorting to export to a folder, all of the pictures are exported, however not always with intact changes/edits???
I have previously never had any major problems with iPhoto up until this version, and am seriously considering ditching it after all the wasted time.
Any suggestions how to attack this problem in iPhoto 11 & 10.7 Lion? (I am unable to find any plist etc like in 10.6 and earlier)
Thanks for any hints and/or tips...

Hi Larry,
thanks for your quick reply...
The harddrive and all user data was transferred by the authorized service center. I able to see and use all the old pictures, so I think (and hope) my pictures were correctly transferred.
After reading this:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3087683?start=45&tstart=0
and done minor edits to ALL the NEW (of today) pictures I want, it seems to file, export correctly. I did some additional minor adjustments (exposure, saturation, sharpness, etc) and behold, the export worked ok, including edits like crops, straightenings, etc, that were omitted without the "adjustments"...
It feels like some proper bugs to me, and will probably look for another more robust and flexible software to do my edits...
Recommendations?
Using Picasa sometimes, but read somewhere they use a hack to get to the iPhoto pictures & database, not sure I like that... Maybe I should go Aperture...???

Mark 2 Af problem with groupings

problem with af group shots mostly,

Firstly, I'm assuming you're referring to the 5DII rather than the 1DII, in which case, I identify! The flakiness of the outer focus points in dark and challenging situations is well known. I have both the 5Dc and 5DII and have long since learned to fall back on centre point 'focus-and-recompose'. Second, I don't know your level of experience - if any of the below is obvious, feel free to ignore . . .
If it's a single-line group and you're shooting wide angle and have to shoot wide open, you may want to arrange the line in a shallow arc so that all parties match the field of curvature and all are in focus. If you're shooting tight on the group, be aware that wider angle glass will horizontally 'stretch' the peripheral figures.
If ambient light or flash permits, I usually crank down two-three stops from wide open to give best IQ and increase DoF.
If it's a two-line group, I'll try to focus on a high-contrast ear on the front row - giving the 1/3 front, 2/3 rear DOF ratio a chance to bring both rows into sharp focus.
Three line groups are simpler - just focus on a good contrast area in the middle row.
Don't be afraid to bump up your ISO if you need to stop down for decent DoF; the body gives excellent results at 3200 and is quite acceptable at 6400 in decent lighting.
Hope that helps.

Apple ID Problem with Incorrect username/password setup

Hello all,
I'm trying to help my sister-in-law with a problem with her Login details for Apple Store. She has no skills in this department, so she asked a friend (?!) to help her. Somehow things were done that allowed her to establish an account, altho frankly I am not sure how it was activated. She used her old email address at that time, which she has in the meantime replaced with a new address from another ISP. I managed to establish an ID using the new address, but she has an iPad registered under her old Apple ID.
Nothing was written down, and nowhere can I find an 8 letter password with the Capital Letter and Number system as required by Apple. The help questions which were established when compiling the old address can't be answered, because she didn't write down either the data, or the answer. From all this, you can judge that I'm frustrated at trying to do more for her.
I can't understand how, or if, one could cancel the old details in favor of the new. Or whether it might work if I "Restore" the iPad according to the instructions in iTunes when the iPad is attached, and try to register it under the new user/password I established.
We live very remotely, so popping into a local store for help is not possible. I've tried, with my limited knowledge, everything I can, but I've got nowhere. So, can any kind soul who might have had to go done this route, or who might have a possible clue to what I could do, perhaps help me out? I'll bet its staring me in the face, but as an old guy, my instincts aren't as sharp as they were.
Very many thanks to anyome reading this post, who might be able to give me some assistance.

Hi barrie,
Well, sounds like you have half the problem fixed. But for the original account, even though you can't remember the answers to the original security questions, you CAN contact Apple Support to have them reset them for you. Once they are reset, also reset the password to whatever the password on the new account is so they are seamless.
Also, on both accounts be sure to set up a RESCUE EMAIL ADDRESS with the Security Questions. This will prevent any issues down the road with forgotton passwords/security questions, and will allow you to recover in a much easier way than this has been.
But again, for the original account. You need to do the following:
1. Contact Apple Support, provide them with the Original Apple ID, and let them know that you need to have the Security Questions reset.
2. Once that is done, set up new Security Questions for that old Apple ID as well as a RESCUE EMAIL ADDRESS with those new Secuity Questions
3. Reset the Password on that Old ID to be the same as the one on the new ID (and keep it consistent - any time you change the new one, change the old one)
4. Sign into iTunes one last time with that old ID and use up your $15
Now, forget the old ID altogether except when you need to update the password to match the new one. Once you have done your final redemption, only the new Apple ID should exist for you. All apps and music purchased in the same iTunes Library with either ID will be able to be loaded onto the iPad. When one of the apps needs to be updated, it may display the old ID, or it may display the new ID - if the password is the same, it won't matter which is displayed for the update. Put in the password, and it will update.
Whatever you do - Don't delete the apps purchased with the old ID. Once you get it squared away it will just be like a "phantom" id in the backround. Not really used, but still associated with the apps purchased under it. As long as they all live in the same iTunes Library, the ID they were purchased under is irrelevant. The only thing that matters after that is the password (as explained above) for any updates.
For the iPads themselves, make sure that the new Apple ID is showing for the iCloud account. This is what ties the Apple ID being used to do purchases via the iPad.
I hope the info I have provided has helped, and that your trip to Canberra will be a success. Sounds like an all-around nightmare, and you have been a very patient and sweet brother-in-law to stick with this whole thing.
Best of luck, and do let me know how it all turns out! I would love a line from you as the adventure progresses!!!
Cheers,
GB

Problem with camera help

good morning, I have a problem with my ipad 2 camera photos, are blurry not sharp as it should, someone can help me with this please

Be sure the camera is clean on your iPad!
If you're stuck within an app or you've noticed a problem, simply hold both the home button and sleep/wake button at the same time. It's important to keep your fingers on these buttons until step 3.
After a few seconds the red ‘slide to power off' screen will appear, simply ignore this. Ensure your fingers are still holding down the home and sleep/wake switch.
Shortly after you should see the Apple logo, it's now safe to let go of the iPad's buttons. Your iPad should now boot, beware this process can take up to 15 minutes or so.

Problem with NEF files from Nikon D4

Hi everyone. I find a problem with nef files from my Nikon D4. When files are open in ViewNX2 (free viewer software from Nikon) they are perfect, as shooted... but in ACR they are very different... I use LR4 or CS5 with ACR 6.7 and the difference seems to be linked at D-Lighting function. My impression is that ACR dont read this option and picture are very very dark that original shootings. Anyone have this problem?

This question used to be answered in the FAQ before they revised it. So, here we go again. ViewNX is capable of reading all of the in-camera settings such as, camera profile, saturation, sharpness and other settings. It is capable of doing this because it is Nikon Software, and they have the ability to program it to read the settings from their raw images. Lightroom does not read those settings from Nikon cameras or any other brand of camera. Part of the reason is that different camera makers store those settings differently.
When I first started using Lightroom I adjusted one of my images that represented what I normally shoot until it looked the way I wanted it. Then I saved those adjustments as my default settings for the camera. From that point onward, whenever I import images those settings are automatically applied, and it takes care of the vast majority of my images. Of course, I still have to make individual adjustments. But my default settings greatly reduce the amount of how they work that I have to do.
Active D-lighting is is one of those features that Lightroom does not recognize. You would be well advised not to use it, or else create a preset to simulate its effect. It will provide no benefit to your Lightroom work.
This is a fundamental difference with Lightroom, and something that must be understood and implemented if you are going to use the program effectively.
I realize this question was asked in the ACR forum and I referenced Lightroom throughout. But the principle is the same, and the recommended procedure is the same.
