PV2012 highlight warnings "real"

I only noticed this recently and think it is a wonderful feature of PV2012.
At default settings, PV2012 only shows highlight warnings where the highlights are blown and unrecoverable. Manipulating sliders will allow you to, in most cases, to lower the highlights to reduce the warnings, but those areas that were blown will never properly recover their detail or color. If all channels were blown, the best you will get is silver/grey coloration.
With PV2010, the highlight warnings might show, but areas might still be recoverable....i.e. they were not actually blown in the raw, but were the result high exposure, brightness, and/or contrast settings.
In discussion with Eric Chan, he said, "Highlight recovery is always enabled in PV 2012. Combined with the highlight shoulder in PV 2012, this means that areas that would've shown as blown in 2010 may actually show as not clipped in 2012. (Also, 2012's HL recovery is improved over 2010, for better detail extraction.) This is the reason for the HL clip warning differences between 2010 and 2012."
I think this is a great asset of PV2012. I doi a lot of bracketed exposures with EC adjusted to get the optimal raw exposure (highest EV without blowing highlights). This means I need to review at least 3 shots be image to select the ones I want to work. Being able to quickly spot those which have blown highlights quickens this effort.
I would be interested if others have noticed this and agree.

This isn't what is being sought. He's looking for the triggers behind Real Time Warning maintenance, which is independent of SPC.
This functionality is controlled by the RTW_DEFECT_RATE table.
If an item/resource/operation combination has a RTW set, there will be information recorded in this table when an SFC is completed.
Pass_count and Fail_count are stored as integer numbers of the SFCs that have passed or failed (where failed means it had an NC recorded at that step).
The Yield is calculated from this as an integer % and compared with the low/high limits (also integers) stored in the RTW maintenance screen. This also takes account of the group size or the time interval as appropriate.

Turn off red/blue highlight/shadow warnings

I'm not quite certain how it happened, but suddenly I am getting red and blue highlight warnings on my preview images in develop. I do not need them and they interfere with my ability to see the whole picture and I cannot find the way to turn them off.
Please help, anyone?

Pl/SQL Error ORA-00904 not showing in Oracle SQL Developer

Hi,
I am new to Oracle and the various development tools available.
Whilst using Oracle SQL Developer we have come across a scenario where a PL/SQL package does not compile, but only shows warnings in the compiler log.
The same packeage when compiled using PL/SQL Navigator shows a much more detailed list of errors, and highlights the real problem.
Why does Oracle SQL Developer not show the following error?
PL/SQL: ORA-00904: "SERIAL_LINE_ID": invalid identifier
Regards
Adrian

There are various settings you can give to messages. (eg, informational, warning, severe).
Tools-PL/SQL compiler options.
Normally, just the first 20 messages are displayed.
Either change code to get rid of warning messages, or change settings to ignore informational and warning messages.
P.S. There is a dedicated sqldeveloper forum where your question should really have been posted.

BD pop-up text strangely jagged and aliased

hi
The text in my pop-up menus has suddenly decided to be aliased and horrible. The problem appears to be font related but no matter what i do I can't resolve it.
For several year I have been using the same Photoshop template to make my popup menus. They're super simple, bascially just a 'info' screen that floats over the video, no highlights, no real buttons as such. I've always been so impressed with BD's ability to do anti-aliased overlays. But recently it's all gone to s**t. Now when I burn the disc the text in the pop-ups are hideously aliased (almost like an auto generated text highlight from the bad old DVD days). I thought it might be related to the font - Trade Gothic - as I have had issues with it in the past. So I tried redoing the menus with a few of the variants of Trade Gothic I have on the computer with very odd results, one version would work but only if there was some text in another font on the menu. I even went to the extreme of trying to generate different formats (OTF, TTF) in fontographer. I found some odd inconsistancies with unicode numberings but fixing these didn't help either. Every time I'd burn a disc the same whack aliasing !!!
It's driving me crazy.
any suggestions or trouble shooting methodologies greatly appreciated.
cheers..

Create a new project and use an Encore library popup. Do you see the problem there? Then change the font, but make no other changes. Problem there?
It does sound odd. I assume something has changed somewhere in your defaults.

SOUND_COMPLETE as a sequencer timer.

I'm using SOUND_COMPLETE as a timer for my drum tutor app.
I basically have an empty wave file (in the library) that is exactly 500ms long, I use the play offset as a way of trying to get a reliable timer in flash.
It is not yet perfect but almost stable, however there seems to be some strange anomalies that occur.
My tempos are calculated in BPM from 30 to 170 in increments of 10 BPM, the resolution is semi quavers(sixteenths).
My math is calculated as follows
seqTimer=500-(15000/BPM)
This gives me the offset value for playing the 500ms empty sound which should result in the SOUND_COMPLETE event firing at the interval in the bracketed part of the equation above. I noticed however that above 70 BPM, the sequencer didn't seem to speed up at all the increments and that they were slower than real BPM values, even though they are pretty much in time with themselves(apart from a few glitches here and there).
I decided to record the audio output from flash on my desktop into Cool Edit Pro (eventually became Audition), on my laptop. I recorded it at all tempo's in flash and extracted the actual tempos from the recorded files in CEP.
Here's my results, The "X" in the first column are where I can hear a change in Tempo.
The Interval is the desired time between the SOUND_COMPLETE events.

As you can see the higher the coded tempo goes the further the actual playing tempo falls from real BPM.
My questions are,
1. Is this linked to a possible seek time to the offset when playing the empty sound?
2. Although the play offset is in ms is this realistic and does it actually occur to the specific value?
Whilst the sequencer is playing the only event listener active is linked the stop button, all other buttons and sliders are disabled and their event listeners are removed. The graphics are minimal, a small LED working like a visual metronome and the note heads are highlighted in real time as played (all in code as Sprites).
Sorry for the long winded explanation to my 2 questions.
Thanks.

1. a new soundchannel's not created unless you code for that.
from your question, i infer you're creating a new soundchannel in your soundcomplete listener function and you're using the same name for the soundchannel each time but i don't really know that and i don't think it really matters: each time you define a soundchannel instance (or any other instance) in as3, you create a new instance whether the previous instance exists or not. it's not unusual for coders to use the same name for an instance and thereby lose the ability to reference the previous instance. and, that's why you have to create a new soundcomplete listener for a soundchannel instance each time after you create one.
2. no, playing a sound doesn't require a transform but you'll need to assign a soundtransform each time you want to transform a soundchannel.

Are there ways to download older versions of Apps from App Store?

I own three iPads, and finally thought I would upgrade my original iPAD1 to the latest 5.1.1,   Imagine my surprise when many of my apps could not be restored, as only ios6 versions show on the store!!###@!%$
Also backed up the iPAD twice, one on my MBP and once on Windows, and the upgraded from latest itunes on windows.   Although everything worked for 5.1.1., it is basically useless as many of my key apps now say they need IOS6 and of course ios6 is not supported on an Ipad1.   Have not connected it to the MacBook Pro as that is my last good backup as the windows itunes backed up again and resynced after the 5.1.1 upgrade.
Right now I would be happy to restore my original iOS, so at least my working apps could come back, if the "Full Backup" inludes Apps and IOS version. I still want use this tablet for remote TV control, home automation, and of course over a thousand books in Stanza that just disappeared .
Is there a way to restore from one of my backups to get back to where I was?
Wondering if it is time to sell my Apple Stock?     Effectively bricked many of my working apps with no clear way to get them back.
Highlights a real problem with the App Store model, built in obselence for an expensive device.

If you had followed the recommended steps of transferring purchases into iTumes, backing up the iPad, downloading and installing the update, restoring from the backup and then syncing with iTunes, the older versions of the apps should have transferred into your iTunes library and should have been transferred back to the iPad as the very last step in the updating process.
Did you try updating apps after you updated the iOS?

SQL Developer Reports

SQL Developer 3.2.20.09
I have been trying to convert some older scripts I have to SQL Developer's reporting feature but I am running into a bit of an annoyance.
If I set the Style to 'script' when the report is executed the output is syntax highlighted based on the PLSQL Syntax Colors options (Preferences->Code Editor->PLSQL Syntax Colors'). Keywords are bold and colored, numbers are green etc.
Is there an option to stop that without limiting the syntax highlighting for real PLSQL editting?

Arch-based medical distro

I started a simple project to build an arch-based distro for medical professionals
The base install is ready and my own-developed simple medical apps are in development to be included...
I was searching for more apps to include (medical image viewer, electronic medical records) and I found a lot of options, and have no idea what to include and where to start.. I never used any of them, (still a medical student), and I was wondering anyone could help in bringing birth to this distro?
Suggesting apps, or maybe helping in building and packaging apps not available in the official repo or the AUR? or even only testing?
Any interest?!

hadiyazdi wrote:I started this to learn more about archiso and then after having my custom arch image ready, I had this idea in mind... I guess I was a little over enthusiastic
No worries - far better to be occasionally over enthusiastic, then never enthusiastic enough. There simply may be more productive ways to channel that enthusiasm: more productive both for you, your would-be users, and the rest of the arch community.
First, let me highlight the real problem with spin-off distros. You certainly could put together an installation iso with all the right stuff for a medical professional to put an arch-based system on their computer and start using it. But are you going to commit to maintaining it and doing all the hard work that really comes with maintaining a distrobution? If not, the best case scenario is that your distro would be a passing fad, and you'd get (probably less than) your 15 minutes of micro-fame. The more realistic scenario is that your distro would be just a fart in the wind - and as a result, so too would be your enthusiasm for contributing in other ways.
In contrast to all this, there are very productive ways to channel any such enthusiasm. A majority (if not all) of the great things about archlinux have come from one person scratching their own personal itch, then sharing the products with the community. This way they are giving back to the community - but it is not purely selfless: they are appreciated by the community. How small would be your target audience for the new distro? You'd tell a few collegues, and maybe one or two of them would share it with a few of theirs ... pretty small. But if you see software that could be useful to medical professionals that is lacking in archlinux and instead you make/improve AUR packages, or even set up an unofficial repo with the precompiled binaries, then any medical professional who searches the AUR can find your products.
Further benefits of this approach are that now your contribution will likely last much longer. There will be more users to benefit from it, and more to appreciate your contribution. And when you inevitably get too busy to maintain a few of the AUR packages, or the repo, there will be a much larger pool of potential volunteers to take over - thus preserving the 'legacy' of your contribution.
I suppose this all lends itself well to a parable of sowing seeds on different types of ground. Suffice it to say that being a successful farmer may have more in common with being a successful archer than one would first suspect.
And in contrast to my initial answer of "No", I would be happy to help you get PKGBUILDs working for all the tools you would like to make available in the AUR or in a custom repo. I also suspect many others here would be much more welcoming to this as well.

Real problem with highlights

Sorry for posting a new one but I am in real trouble here
On a simple menu with 3 buttons that i built in photoshop CS2 I have a nice simulation with the correct highlights appearing on my buttons when I roll over then if i build the DVD the buttons highlights doesn't appear at all.
My menu images and highlights are 720x480 ntsc wide screen pixels
I used a simple color mode in the menu settings
thanks for any precious help

There may be somthing about your overlays that is incompatible with simple color mode, although it appears to work in simulator.
Is your overlay a simple grayscale layer? You might try the advanced color mode. It's a little more complex, but not unusably so. Remember to set both the selected and active colors.

I'm having a real problem with my cursor which seems to have developed a mind of its own, zigzagging allover, highlighting things without my command, and basically making my MacBook unuseable (it's taken me half an hour just to compose this!).

I'm having a real problem with my cursor which seems to have developed a mind of its own, zigzagging allover, highlighting things without my command, and basically making my MacBook unusable (it's taken me half an hour just to compose this!).

There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not apply in your case.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable. A damaged or defective AC adapter could be the cause, even if it's the right kind.
2. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and in that case the unit must be serviced or replaced.
3. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and delete all pointing devices other than the trackpad, if applicable. Disconnect any USB pointing devices. By a "pointing device," I mean a peripheral that moves the cursor, such as a trackpad, mouse, trackball, or graphics tablet. A plain keyboard is not a pointing device.
4. Start up in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you restart as usual, stop here and post your results. Do the same if you can't start in safe mode. If there was no difference in safe mode, go on to the next step.
5. Reset the System Management Controller.
6. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad or mouse, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
7. A swollen battery in a portable computer can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
8. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.

Is it possible to keep spelling warnings, but end the highlight-delete "feature"

I do like to have warnings as to typos and spelling errors with the underlining. Auto-complete/correct is another thing. What is ultimately anoying is the feature whereby strings are highlighted in red and if you do not take focus away, whatever one types next is subsitituted instead of the highlighted text.
This is incredibly frustrating when one is using twitter, where so often the iPhone ends up trashing the shortened hyperlink without my consent.
The answer to disable ALL spellchecking is, frankly very clumsy. I do not think I have EVER used the red highlight to do something I want to happen. I have used the underlining often.
Can one turn off the rather presumptive red hightlight-subsititute, but keep the red unline?
I am on iPhone 4S, iOS5.0

Real-time highlights during a live event

Hi,
is there some documentation about this function? I want to create a live streaming player with real time higlights (manually inserted). The streaming is HDS through Akamai CDN with DVR.
Thanks!

Ben,
I was notified by SAP that this was corrected in DS14.1 SP3 Patch1 and DS14.2 SP1 Patch3. Reference SAP Note 1997294 (Data Services WSDL error: Unable to create WSDL for service).
The cause and resolution are as follows:
Cause:
This is regression. The parser that creates the WSDL entry will look for ACTA_INCLUDE_<path name to schema>; not ACTA_INCLUDE_1<path….>. ACTA_INCLUDE_1 blocks the path to the schema.
Resolution:
Workaround:
1. Export the rt job to atl.
2. Search for ACTA_INCLUDE_1.
3. Replace with ACTA_INCLUDE_.
4. Re-import the atl into designer, make no changes.
5. Create service and add the Web service.

Yellow Highlights Behind Text

Hi,
I'm relatively new to InDesign and I've opened up some files sent to me. Some of the text is highlighted. Can you explain why this might be? What eliminates this?
Thank you!

Hey!
InDesign does a bunch of highlighting for different warnings. Here are the main ones:
Pink highlighting means the highlighted font is missing. Very bad.
Amber highlighting means you've got substituted glyphs. That just means that if you typed something and changed the case to small caps, InDesign will substitute a real version of small caps for the formatted one provided your system has it.
There are 3 shades of yellow that indicate hyphenation & justification violations depending on how severe they are.
Also, a bright yellow indicates Keeps violations and Green highlighting means you have weird kerning or tracking.
Does that help? :-)
Check your preferences under Composition. You can turn off the ones you don't want highlighted. I turn off everything except Substituted Fonts (you definitely want to know when the fonts are missing, but the other stuff is according to your own preferences).
I think there's an article around here somewhere on this (I wrote down those color definitions in my notebook). I'll see if I can find it.

Auto highlight correction in LR 4

Is Adobe even considering adding the option of turning off the auto highlight correction inserted into LR4. For anyone shooting white backgrounds this is a terrible nuisance. I personally will have to switch to another image processing software program if there is not a fix for this. I work hard to get a good image in camera with a pure white background, then Lightroom messes with it automatically. It seems someone at Adobe would have realized it was not a good idea to assume that no photographers would want a pure white background.

I tried to get Krista to send me the raw, but she/he has moved on - given up on PV2012 due to difficulty preserving fine detail in upper highlights whilst maintaining solid white background.
It is true that there are 2 potentially bad things about PV2012:
1. It doesn't like for you to have all white or all black anything (auto highlight recovery and auto shadow recovery). - this is usually, but not always, a great thing...
2. PV2012 can lose fine detail in the whites due to compression done presumably to preserve tone & color relationships when 1 or more channels are clipped., but yielding a less-than-optimal trade off in some cases, see this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1050188?tstart=0
Don't get me wrong. It could be that these photos would look stellar with a little more finessing of whites/exposure/highlights to bring out detail in the brighter highlights (and maybe some clarity). But also, its possible that Krista has indeed bumped up against one of PV2012's not-so-good "features", and he/she knows it, and isn't willing to "fight" with it to get satisfactory results.
Summary: In general, PV2012 handling of upper highlights / whites / clipping is very nicely done, but in some photos, it's "potential" bad things become real bad things.
Krista - have you tried negative highlights? It may be that you need to go easier on the +whites, and/or enhance highlight detail using -highlights, then paint the surrounding wall white if need be. Hard to tell without having a raw to work with. Also, your exposure may need to be dropped, especially if you've bumped the whites.
In general, in PV2012, I think it's best to handle subject detail and white wall separately - i.e. do what you need to do to get the subject looking nice, then use locals to repaint the wall, if you really want it solid white. If you don't want to resort to locals for repainting the background, then you won't be the first to abandon PV2012 for "product photos" against white (or black) backgrounds. And also or instead of, consider using locals to further enhance subject. I sometimes crank whites up a little much then use -highlights locally in selected areas.
PS - I hope there is a PV2014 which further improves Lightroom's ability to deal optimally with upper highlights / whites, for all cases... (ditto for blacks).
I adore PV2012 in most (but not all) ways.
UPDATE: I couldn't resist downloading the posted jpeg samples in lieu of a raw to work with. I think it's entirely possible that Krista is losing detail in the wings due to the "White Mud" phenomenon - PV2012, in it's quest for recovering blown background and integrating with the rest of the photo, may be compressing the non-blown whites (brightest part of insect's wings). I think this phenomenon has become my least favorite aspect of PV2012. It affects not only photos with white backgrounds, but any photo with blown highlights - and it doesn't necessarily take a lot of blown pixels to negatively influence all whites in the photo (even if all such pixels have been cropped out!). Reminder: +whites is far from a panacea in dealing with "white mud syndrome". A tone curve with an upward inflection in the whites can help a little, but only a little - push it too far and the rest of the image will deteriorate.
I don't think Adobe has any intention of improving this in PV2012 - hope I'm wrong. They could add another control in a fashion that doesn't influence previous edits, to refine handling of top-most whites, and release it as a minor revision - I would be both shocked and delighted if they did that.
UPDATE #2: After further consideration of the jpeg (really wish I had that raw), I have reversed my previous hypothesis. I thiink this is a photo that can be processed to perfection, easily, in PV2012, even with almost completely clipped background. Note: the following enhancements were made to the (already processsed and baked) PV2012 jpeg, and so may NOT apply to the raw.
* Much Lower Exposure (high exposure was compressing upper highlights)
* Much Lower Contrast - this is a photo where (presumably) high contrast is not desirable, and the upper half of the tonal range is nicely served simply by dropping contrast.
* Negative Highlights - a lot: wing detail is totally recoverable / enhanceable (NOT a victim of "White Mud Syndrome").
* Positive Shadows - same amount as Negative Highlights (except positive, not negative).
* Positive Whites - just enough to clip the background, no more.
* Positive Blacks - a lot: in this case, it helps maintain the "softer" look of the PV2010 version, and keeps intra-shadow contrast down. - brightens the photo with less highlight compression than exposure.
* No Clarity - totally unnecessary, and gives it a harsher look.
* No Tone Curve - totally unnecessary.
Example for comparison (hint: context-click and open in new tab, then in WebPhotoBrowser: click next, next, next to compare, instead of next, prev, next, prev...)
Krista - Consider practicing more with PV2012. It is far more capable than it seems at first. I mean, continue to use PV2010 if need be, or you're in a hurry... - but keep honing your PV2012 skills too!
PV2012 rocks!
Cheers,
Rob
