Question about breaking down a color...

Hi,
When I double click on a Pantone swatch in the swatches palette, and change the properties to: 1) Process and 2) CMYK...it is now in CMYK, and in the Color palette, it lists the formula out horizontally. (for example: C=0, M=2, Y=15, K=0)
However, other CMYK colors that I have manually used the eye dropper to select, vs. converting to a Pantone, will list out the formula vertically with the color bars for each color so if I wanted to alter the variables I could.
My question is: Are they both legit and qualifiying CMYK colors? Is there any difference here? Or is it merely the way the application is presenting them?
Thanks for clearing up for me...

But it is in CMYK, is it not, when I select process from the drop down and then CMYK from the other drop down upon double clicking on the Pantone swatch in the palette?
It's just if i want to take it a step further I could somehow get it in the color palette and click something else to get the color bars?

Simple question: code break down

Hi guys,
Just one question about the following piece of code:
public class Counter2 implements Runnable {
protected int count;
protected int inc;
protected int delay;
public Counter2(int init, int inc, int delay) {
this.count = init;
this.inc = inc;
this.delay = delay;
public void run() {
try {
for (;;) {
System.out.print(count + " ");
count += inc;
Thread.sleep(delay);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {}
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Thread(new Counter2(0, 1, 33)).start();
new Thread(new Counter2(0, -1, 100)).start();
.......in the main method, a thread is created and started all in one line.........can someone break this down and show how this would be write if done in a few lines?
Thanks,
Zaf

Thread thread1 = new Thread(new Counter2(0, 1, 33));
thread1.start();or, to break down even more...
Counter2 counter2 = new Counter2(0, 1, 33);
Thread thread1 = new Thread(counter2);

Question about "Native ISO" and Color Grading in PP

I have a question about "Native ISO" in the real world and how it relates to color grading. I was shooting 35mm film before all these digital cameras became flat-out amazing practically overnight. Then the goal was always to shoot with the lowest ISO possible to achieve the least amount of grain (unless you were making an artistic decision to get that look). If I was shooting outside plus had a nice lighting package I'd shoot 5201/50 ASA (Daylight) and 5212/100 ASA (Tungsten) 99 times out of 100.
I've recently been shooting a lot with the Blackmagic 4K and have read that its "Native ISO" is 400. Because of my film background this seems counter-intuitive. Yesterday I was shooting for a client and had the camera at an f16 with a 200 ISO. Because of what I'd read, I was tempted stop down to an f22 and change my ISO to 400... but the "little film voice in my head" just wouldn't let me do it. It kept telling me "Higher ISO means more noise... stay at 200 and you will get a cleaner image".
So how does it work with "Native ISO"? Should I really shoot at a 400 ISO every chance I get in order to capture the best image for how the camera is calibrated? Will it really give me more latitude when color grading? Or would I still get a cleaner image staying at ISO 200? I've Googled around quite, but haven't found any articles that answer specifically this question. Would love to hear from someone who knows a bit more on the subject or has a link that could point me in the right direction.
Thanks much.

Hey, shooter ... yea, interesting discussion and always nice to learn. Great pic, too!
jamesp2 ...
Great answer. I've followed quite a bit of the discussion about the BM cams as well, one does feel a need to check out the possibilities for that next beastie one will need to acquire. But ... which one?
I've always been a bit of a hard-case about testing testing testing. For instance, what happens with dome down or use of a flat diffuser vs. dome in the up position in metering? Back in the film days, we had our own lab and did our own printing as well as the um ... difficult images ... from other studios. I needed to know how to get exactly the same diffuse highlight no matter whether it was a "standard" light 3:1 studio shot, or a near-profile with no fill that needs dark shadows. I tested & burned through boxes of medium-format polaroid & 120 film and a lot of color paper. Finding? To get the same print time no matter the contrast or lighting style, needed to be metered either with the flat disc (Minolta) or dome-down (Sekonic) and held at the highlight-location pointed at the main light source. I could meter and nail the exposure every time. Ahh no, insist so many ... one must have the dome on/up and pointed at the camera! Right. Do that, change the contrast, and see what happens to your diffuse forehead highlight on a densitometer ... and see how your printing exposure times change. Oh, and you've just moved your center-of-exposure up or down on the film's H&D curve, which will also change the way the shadows & highlights print. In truth, though it was subtle, we had realistically no matter latitude for a best-case image with pro neg film as one had with chromes. You could probably get away with being "off" easier, but it still wasn't dead-on.
So wading into video ... oi vey, you may have noticed the things claimed here there & everywhere ... this setting is God's Gift to Humanity but no, it's total crap ... this sensor is totally flawed but someone else is certain it's the finest piece out there. Yes, opinions will be all over ... but ... in film, it was the densitometer. In video, it's the scopes. Truth. And getting to that can be a right pain. I've seen quite a few contradictory comments about using the BM cams in film mode and also at ISO 200. Yours above gives the most ... comforting? ... explanation (for me) because of your reference to your scopes & the waveform patterns. Thank you.
Love to learn ...

No reason to be embarassed. You are not alone.
You will need an external drive. If you have a Time Machine drive without enough disk space you can create the clone there however it's advised that you keep your Time Machine and clone on separate drives. If the drive dies you loose both types of backup.
Download and install the clone software. Everyone has their favorite. These are the two most common applications used. I prefer SuperDuper because of it's simplicity in setting up. It's also free for the first clone where with CCC you have to give a Credit Card then cancel if you do not want to keep.

Question about shutting down the middle tier while leaving the DB up

Hi,
We just successfully upgraded 11.5.10.2 from running on 9.2.0.8 SOLARIS SPARC 32-bit to 11.2.0.1 SOLARIS SPARC 64-bit.
I am in the process of rewriting the backup scripts. We used to do a once-a-week backup (zip) of the middle tier directories,
after shutting down EVERYTHING cold (MT first, then DB listener, the DB). Our DB consultant likes hot-only backups of the
DB so we are going to keep the DB running all the time and always do hot backups from the DB, but keep MT cold backup.
We want to keep our MT cold backup so we retain our downtime window that users expect (Saturday night - Sun morning).
So my question is ---- is there any issue with shutting down the entire MT- only (adstpall.sh) -- but leaving the DB up?
When I do a adstrtal (via my script) the next morning--- everything should just start fine with no DB bonce having been done, right?
In the past, once I have the MT down, wait 5 min, kill any stray FND processes, I usually go on to bounce the database
"for good measure". I am 99% sure that I don't have to do this... and that there is no harm in "not" doing this, just need
some confirmation.

One more piece of information - Our concurrent managers shut down cleanly almost all of the time without putting jobs on hold.
We don't have many users (< 60) and while we do have autoinvoice that runs every 5 min, I haven't had to do a big bounce
with cmclean.sql very often-- only about once or twice a year when users lock each others tables and the cleanest fix is to bounce
everything --very rarely.

An old question about the down of mshttpd

The mshttpd is abnormally down for many times a day.
The warning messages in the default log are:
"[07/Jun/2005:14:56:58 +0800] mail stored[854]: General Error: function=getserverhello|port=80|error=failed to connect
[07/Jun/2005:14:56:58 +0800] mail stored[854]: General Warning: alarmid=serverresponse|instance=http|time=07/Jun/2005:14:56:58 +0800|value=10|low=0|high=10|threshold(over)=10|count over threshold=1|warning sent=0"
Would an increase of this threshold help? Where to set this threshold?
Would it be possible to be caused by spam which sends to the server at a high rate during a period or by malicious invaders?
I installed Solaris patch recently. It seems at lease having worsened the situation.
Our Solaris version:
Kernel version: SunOS 5.8 Generic 117350-25 May 2005
It is iMS 5.2, no hotfix applied yet.
Thanks.

When you say, "mshttpd is abnormally down", do you mean that infact, it's not running? crashed?
If so, then you should have downloaded and applied patch 2 months ago. There were literally hundreds of fixes for you, there.
You don't really state much of what the problem is. If your mshttpd is actually dumping core. then you need to apply patch2, first. If that doesn't fix it, then we can look further.
If it's not actually going down, and your problem is only the error messages, please let us know. There are several reasons why you might get these.

An other question about required fields en color change

I've got 4 fields.
The client must enter a Country name in Field1
If this is "NL", than Field2, Field3 and Field4 become required.
I've done this with FormCalc
if (Field1 == "NL") then
Field2.validate.nullTest="error"
Field3.validate.nullTest="error"
Field4.validate.nullTest="error"
else
Field2.validate.nullTest="disabled"
Field3.validate.nullTest="disabled"
Field4.validate.nullTest="disabled"
endif
Now comes my problem:
When field2, field3, and field4 are requered, they have to change color (fill color red) when empty
And when they are not required, they don't have to change color
Can anyone help me with this problem?

I have a question about breaking 2 year contracts

I added my parents to my plan, and it was huge mistake. They don't pay the bill that they have ran up to high hell and my credit I'm sure is suffering. I shouldn't have allowed them to renew their contract.
I have a few questions.
How much will it cost to remove them from my plan completely?
It's there a way to move them to their own plan, and let me keep mine, which is in my name?

Khitty wrote:

Note. They didn't setup their own account, because their credit is bad. Which is why told my fiance this may not be possible.
If you are the primary account holder, and you want to move to another Verizon account Your own), then one of the other members of the family plan needs to take over as the account owner. If their credit is bad, then it will require a substantial deposit, or may not be doable. Depending on the status of the account, it may need to be brought current before any changes are made.
How much longer is left on their lines' contracts? It may be worth it to simply terminate the lines and pay the ETF's to be done with their portion of the account. It sounds like you are in a difficult position, and it's going to cost money no matter what you do. Figure out what will cost the least... terminating their lines and paying the ETF's , suspending the lines so no more charges can be accrued and paying off the balance, or taking your line to your own plan and trying to get one of them on as account owner so THEY are responsible for the bills. Tough choices.

what does the built-in tabular form and break functionality do ?The built-in tabular form wizard generates the tabular form report and ApplyMRU and ApplyMRD processes to handle the submitted form.
The report renders the retrieved data values as HTML form controls to enable them to be edited by the user. The <tt>DEPTNO</tt> in from the first row in your query is rendered thus:

However, even if this was not the case and the break was applied to give only 3 text items for the 3 <tt>DEPTNO</tt> values, the ApplyMRU and ApplyMRD processes expect a <tt>DEPTNO</tt> value to be submitted for each row, and would fail for the subordinate <tt>EMP</tt> rows where it was missing.

Question about locking down IIS on an SCCM 2012 distribution point on a Windows Server 2003

Hello. My environment is SCCM 2012 SP1. I will be setting up several distribution points on Windows Server 2003 machines. This summer I have a project to configure SCCM to use our PKI infrastructure. Unfortunately, this will not be in place before I need
to set the Windows Server 2003 machines up as distribution points. I am not an IIS expert. When I set the DPs up, I am only 1)Installing IIS, 2)Enabling BITS extensions, and 3)Enabling WebDav. Is there anything I should do to ensure they are as secured as
possible?

I would say that installing Windows Server 2003 is not "as secure as possible" due to it's end of support coming soon.
http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/default.aspx?LN=en-us&p1=3198&x=10&y=12
And I would say that we need more information about your scenario to tell you how it is as secure "as possible". Since that would be shutoff at the bottom of the ocean. But that wouldn't be that useful server.
Im guessing that you will run these servers for internal
clients ONLY. And that you have a decent edge protection as well as physical protection. Then I would start by having the lastest secrutiy patches, running antivirus software and having the firewall turned ON. I would make sure that
only necessary logons would be possible and that the servers wouldn't cache any credentials. Typically a DP NEVER holds sensitive data so no real need to secure them more than that in a normal scenario if you ask me.
A final notice, this is a baseline
for a common scenario. You would need to scale and change that
in order to apply for your scenario.

For what you are doing, I think Presentation Variables would work best giving you the most flexibility for your users.
First create a Dashboard prompt on Class and save it to a Presentation Variable called prmtClass, for example. Check the "All Choices" checkbox in the prompt so the user has that choice available.
Now build your MAIN report with the columns you desire on the highest level.
Next, build the DETAIL report with the Class, Name, Phone number, etc. columns, with the filter on the Class column set to the Presentation Variable prmtClass.
Add the Navigation on Value Interaction feature on the Class column in the MAIN report.
When the user clicks on a particular class, the navigation feature will direct the user to the DETAIl report. The PV will filter that report so only the particular class will show.

Question About Color's and Gradients

Hi all,
I have a question about color swatches and gradients.
I am curious to know, if I have 2 color swatches that I make into a gradient color, is it posible to change the tint of each indivdual color in that gradient and have that applied to the gradient without having to adjust the gradients opacity.
The reason that I'm asking this is because in creating a project I found that the colors that I chose for to make my gradient from my swatches were to dark, and while I can adjust each one's tint to my liking (if the object they were applied to was going to be a solid color) but that doesn't seem to apply to the overall gradient.
I hope that makes sense, I know that this was something that was able to be accomplished in quark and was wondering if I can do something similar.

If you double click your gradient swatch (after adding it to the swatches)
Then click a colour stop in the gradient, and then change the drop down menu to CMYK (or rgb)
And you can alter the percentages there. It's not much use for spot colours but it's a start.
But making tint swatches would be a good start anyway.
At least then when you double click the gradient (in the swatches) to edit it you can choose from CMYK, RGB, LAB, or Swatches and adjust each colour stop to your liking.

A few questions about Patone colors

I have a few questions about patone colors since this is the first time I use them. I want to use them to create a letterhead and business cards in two colors.
1)
I do understand that the uncoated is more washed out than the coated patone colors. I heard that this is because the way paper absorbs the inkt. This is why the same inkt results in different colors on different paper (right?). My question is why is the patone uncoated black so much different than normal black (c=0 m=0 y=0 k=100) or rich black:
When I print a normal document with cmyk, I can get pretty dark black colors. Why is it that I cannot have that dark black color with patone colors? Even text documents printed on a cheap printer can get a darker color than the Patone color. It just looks way too grey for me.
2) For a first mockup, I want to print the patone colors as cmyk (since I put like 10 different colors on a page for fast comparison). I know that these cmyk colors differ from the patone colors and that I cannot get a 100% representation. But is there a way to convert patone to cmyk values?
I hope that some of you can help me out with my questions.
Thanks.

You can get Pantone's CMYK tints in Illustrator, (Swatches Panel > Open Swatch Library > Color Books > PANTONE+ Color Bridge Coated or Uncoated) but in my view, what's the point? If you're printing to a digital printer, just use RGB (HSB) or CMYK. Personally, I never use Pantone's CMYK so-called "equivalents."
Pantone colors are all mixed pigmented inks, many of which fluoresce beyond the gamut limits of RGB and especially CMYK. The original Pantone Matching System (PMS) was created for the printing industry. It outlined pigmented ink formulations for each of its colors.
Most digital printers (laser or inkjet) use CMYK. The CMYK color gamut is MUCH SMALLER than what many mixed inks, printed on either coated or uncoated papers can deliver. When you specify non-coated Pantone ink in AI, according to Pantone's conversion tables, AI tries to "approximate" what that color will look like on an uncoated sheet, using CMYK. -- In my opinion, this has little relevance to real-world conditions, and is to be avoided in most situations.
If your project is going to be printed on a printing press with spot Pantone inks, then by all means, use Pantone colors. But don't trust the screen colors; rather get a Pantone swatch book and look at the actual inks on both coated and uncoated papers, according to the stock you will use on the press.
With the printing industry rapidly dwindling in favor of the web and inkjet printers, Pantone has attempted to extend its relevance beyond the pull-date by publishing (in books and in software alliances, with such as Adobe) its old PMS inks, and their supposed LAB and CMYK equivalents. I say "supposed" because again, RGB monitors and CMYK inks can never be literally equivalent to many Pantone inks. But if you're going to print your project on a printing press, Pantone inks are still very relevant as "spot colors."
I also set my AI Preferences > Appearance of Black to both Display All Blacks Accurately, and Output All Blacks Accurately. The only exception to this might be when printing on a digital printer, where there should be no registration issues.
Rich black in AI is a screen phenomenon, unless in Prefs > Appearance of Black, you also specify "Output All Inks As Rich Black," -- something I would NEVER do if outputting for an actual printing press. I always set my blacks in AI to "Output All Blacks Acurately" when outputting for a press. If you fail to do this, then on the press you will see any minor registration problems, with C, M, and Y peeking out, especially around black type. UGH!
Good luck! :+)
