Problems using the letterbox filter

Hello,
I am having a problem compressing from Final Cut via Compressor into an Mpeg-1 file. I shot (and edited) in 16:9 but the Mpeg-1 files turn out squeezed up in 4:3.
I was advised that the letterbox filter would be a way round it but when I go into the Inspector window and eventually find a way to stop all the settings being greyed out, when I change them and save them, including selecting letterbox filter, then submit the job, nothing is any different. The finished mpeg is still squeezed into 4:3 with no letterbox.
Any advice that would help me solve this problem? Unfortunately I don’t know Compressor very well (as is probably obvious) and don’t find it at all easy to work out.
Many thanks in advance,
Sasha

If you're looking at a setting in the Inspector, you're looking at one of two things; the original setting from the "Settings" window-- this one is not modifiable-- or the modifiable copy of that setting that you're using on your asset (the video you're compressing, in the batch window). Click on the setting over your video in the batch window to work with the modifiable version.
A good "basics of Compressor" tutorial might benefit you. Apple has a few on their website.

Image Preview grey out when using the Radial Filter

Hi,
I am trying to use the radial filter on my photo in the Lightroom 5, but my problem is that when I tried to create the eclipse with my mouse drag on my photo, the photo immediate disapper and grey out, once then, I cannot do anything with my photo
Even I tried to change other parameter for example changing the color temperature....etc., the photo is still disappearing and grey out, nothing showin in the photo display area.
The program is not hanged, it's just that the photo not displaying, I have to click the Library module and then click again the Develop module, then the photo appears again.
Is there anyone encountering this issue and share with me any solution ?
( I wonder if it's because my laptop below the Lightroom required spec, my laptop is Intel i5 2.4G with 4G RAM)
Thanks.

My sincere thanks to those trying to help me. I've found the problem and feel extraordinarily stupid. In looking at screenshots in a tutorial, I realized the box that pops up for the controls for the graduated filter was collapsed on my screen. Once I clicked the arrow and got the proper controls, it works like it should. It's been a while since I felt this dumb!! But I guess that's why they call it the Beginner's forum, eh?
Thanks again!

I used the Nik filter collection as a trial version on Elements 12 on MacOS10.9. When the trial was up, the purchased version is not allowed to work. Any suggestions. I've uninstalled everything aand cleaned out all the NIK files from the libraries.

To Mickey: I got the 2 RAR files into one directory, extracted the part1.rar file, and in that new folder there is a file called start.html. I opened this, and followed the links on the right, from "Welcome" to "Getting Started". After all this I had the SAP Management Console, as well as the Database Manager applications created. You will find the specific instructions for setting up the MaxDB under the "Getting Started" link. After setting up the Database Manager you have to start it up with a user-id and password which was created during the set-up, and specifically link the database to the NSP system. I seem to remember that this didn't work at first, because the Database Manager shortcut does not run the program as an administrator. So run it as an administrator! I altered the shortcut's properties under the shortcut/advanced so it will always run the program as an administrator, and haven't had any problems - once you have done the "Add" procedure you may never need to re-visit the database manager.

When using the gradient filter in Lightroom 4, the changes made are applied to the whole image.

Hi, I'm just trying to learn to use the gradient filter in Lightroom 4, and I've watched several videos, but when I place the gradient on the photo (I've tried several different photos) and make adjustments, the entire image changes. Can anyone suggest a fix for this?
Thanks!

Hi All, I just installed PS CC 2014 and Deleted PS CS6. I have a HUGE problem! The Liquify Filter on PS CC 2014 is not working. When the filter comes up, my photo is reduced to two color fields - bright turquoise and lime green! Can anyone help me? I

Hi Everyone,
I just deleted PS CS6 and installed PS CC 2014. I'm trying to use the Liquify Filter and it does not work. When I click on the Liquify Filter, my photo does not appear properly. The photo appears as two flourescent color fields - bright turquoise and lime green! Can anyone help me with this? Also, does anyone know if I can re-install Photoshop CS6?
Thanks!
Laraine

Hi Everyone....I figured it out. Strangely, although I had NEVER used Liquify in PS CC 2014....I just realized that in Liquify Advanced Mode that the "SHOW MASK" option was on by default! I unchecked SHOW MASK. Everything is OK. Whew! Tks!

Could not complete the command because of a problem using the Adobe Color Engine

Hi all
This bizarrely started this morning - completely out of the blue - and I've no idea why.
Setup: Mac 10.8.2 / Creative Suite Premium PhotoShop CS5 extended (patched to 12.04)
Am working on images exported from LightRoom 4 (16bit A3 Pro Photo RGB PSDs) in PhotoShop CS5.
As part of my image grading process I have a PhotoShop Action that does the following: copy layer to new document (document respects all of copied layer settings) > Image > Adjustments > HDR toning > apply a certain HDR preset > copy to resultant image back to original doc > set opacity as 40%.
Totally out of the blue, after having this action for about 2 months, this morning I start getting a warning dialog of "Could not complete the command because of a problem using the Adobe Color Engine" and the action fails. The failure seems to take place at the 'make document' part of the action and seems to somehow be related to the contents of the clipboard.
I've tried trashing and re-creating the action. It works first time out fine and then - on the next image - errors again.
At present I can only safely carry out the work 'manually' by completing all the actions myself.
I can think of no settings that have changed and the OS hasn't been updated in a while.
I have found one other thread on a similar problem in PhotoShop Elements, but no definitive solution.
Any help appreciated as I have a shedload of stuff to process.
Best wishes
TP

OK: trash of prefs didn't work. Tried thrice. Re-created orig action. same problem.
BUT!
Your 'Image > Duplicate' suggestion does seem to work. If I use that in a new action as the method for creating the HDR version doc (instead of 'Select > Copy > New > Paste), it seems to work.
Will try that out this afternoon, but for now: WIN!
Many thanks for the suggestion!

Problem using the FederatedSearch / Result set empty

Hello, 
 
I've the following problem using the FederatedSearch: 
In my KM-Folder I've two documents. 
I created a simple search AbstractPortalComponent to search in the special KM-Folder. 
If the query is "*" I will get the right number of documents. 
But If I will access them the iterator is empty... 
Please see the code below: 
 
Best regards 
Klaus 
 
 
IIndexService indexService = (IIndexService) ResourceFactory.getInstance().getServiceFactory().getService(IServiceTypesConst.INDEX_SERVICE); 
 
SearchQueryListBuilder sqb = new SearchQueryListBuilder(); 
 
sqb.setSearchTerm(query); 
IQueryEntryList qel = sqb.buildSearchQueryList(); 
RidList ridList = new RidList(); 
ridList.add(RID.getRID(OR_KM_ROOT_PATH + "/" + OR_KM_CURRENT_PATH)); 
ridList.add(RID.getRID(OR_KM_ROOT_PATH + "/" + OR_KM_ARCHIVE_PATH)); 
IResourceContext resourceContext = new ResourceContext(user); 
IFederatedSearch federatedSearch = (IFederatedSearch) indexService.getObjectInstance(IWcmIndexConst.FEDERATED_SEARCH_INSTANCE); 
IFederatedSearch search = (IFederatedSearch) indexService.getObjectInstance(IWcmIndexConst.FEDERATED_SEARCH_INSTANCE); 
ISearchSession session = federatedSearch.searchWithSession(qel, ridList, resourceContext, null, null); 
response.write("-"+session.getTotalNumberResultKeys()); ### writes 2-ok- 
response.write("- "+session.getNumberResultKeys()); ### writes 2-ok- 
ISearchResultList sresults = session.getSearchResults(1,session.getTotalNumberResultKeys()); 
 
ISearchResultListIterator iter = sresults.listIterator(); 
response.write("> "iter.hasNext()" "); ### writes "false"!???
 
while (iter.hasNext()) 
{ 
... 
} 

The plan is to be running with more than just two sites (though at the moment I am testing with only two).
What happens is a client comes on-line and requests a list of sites from a router. It then picks one of the sites from the list and adds that as a replication site in the repmgr.
It then goes about opening up the database and doing some other bookeeping. Finally we start the replication manager and once the NEWMASTER event is recieved a sync is done.
So while this DELAYCLIENT/rep_sync is a bit overkill for the two-site test I am doing now, the design I am working towards will be a multi-site setup.

Problem using the Write to SGL VI and Read from SGL VI

Hello Sir, I have a problem using the Write to SGL VI. When I am trying to write the captured data using DAQ board to a SGL file, I am unable to store the data as desired. There might be some problem with the VI which I am using to write the data to SGL file. I am not able to figure out the minor problem I am facing. I am attaching a zip file which contains five files.
1) Acquire_Current_Binary_Exp.vi -> This is the VI which I used to store my data using Write to SGL file.
2) Retrive_BINARY_Data.vi -> This is the VI which I used to Read from SGL file and plot it
3) Binary_Capture -> This is the captured data using (1) which can be plotted using (2) and what I observed is the plot is different and also the time scare is not as expected.
4) Unexpected_Graph.png is the unexpected graph when I am using Write to SGL and Read from SGL to store and retrieve the data.
5) Expected_Graph.png -> This is the expected data format I supposed to get. I have obtained this plot when I have used write to LVM and read from LVM file to store and retrieve the data.
I tried a lot modifying the sub VI’s but it doesn’t work for me. What I think is I am doing some mistake while I am writing the data to SGL and Reading the data from SGL. Also, I don’t know the reason why my graph is not like (5) rather I am getting something like its in (4). Its totally different. You can also observe the difference between the time scale of (4) and (5).
Have a Good Day
Regards,
Krishna

As already discussed a while ago, your binary data does not contain timing information. You need to tell it the scan rate so it can reconstruct the time axis correcty.
From the data, it seems the sample file was recorded at 0.5MHz. Take the inverse and set the time increment. Voila!
Your sample file is two column data with one colum all zero. You need to set the number of columns to two, to only get the good data in channel 1.
Your acquisition program contains unecessary FOR loops, you can remove the inner loops without change in result.
It makes no sense to convert to SGL if you initialize the shift registers with an empty DBL array. You need to initialize with an empty SGL array.
(The code could be simplified quite a bit more, but this should give you some directions).
The attached zip shows some ideas (LabVIEW 7.1).

I used to be able to drag the numbers when using the matte filter. Now I can't. Does anyone know why or have a solution

The only way to use the matte filter is to adjust the numbers in the filters tab in the viewer. Please advise

Do you have the View Mode set to Preview?
Are you clicking the Point Control for the point you want to move before clicking on the Canvas?

I am having a problem using the help menu in Adobe elements 5

I am having a problem using the help menu in Adobe elements number five.
When I open the help menu, the dialogue box defaults to an unreadable display font. Is there any way to change that default font? Using the help menus to find a solution is not possible for I cannot read what it is displaying.

For product, there is an option in preferences where we can set fonts. There are two options: One is application font and other is system font. I am talking about elements 8 which I have but not sure that will solve your problem which is help related.
Hope Help in 5th version is html which opens in Browser? Please confirm.

Could not complete the command because of a problem using the Adobe Colour Engine??

When I am playing back a set of recorded actions, I receive a message that says "Could not complete the command because of a problem using the Adobe Colour Engine". This occurs after I copy a part of an image to paste it onto a new file. It occurs during the "Make" part(making a new file) and I was just wondering how to fix it.

It's a known (but esoteric) bug in Photoshop CS5 and earlier, seen with grayscale images. It used to crash utterly, but after I reported it I think they patched Photoshop 12.0.something to avoid the crash. However, the step still fails when you make a new grayscale image in an action.
I saw it because I created an action to paste the clipboard into new document, all in one motion. It virtually always works as long as I have a colored image in the clipboard. But not grayscale.
One workaround, which is not particularly convenient, is to turn on prompting for the Make new image step. I haven't used this workaround for a while, but it used to be that if you confirmed the "File New" operation manually it would continue and work. I don't know if the workaround is still valid.
