Quick question re. 8 bit vrs. 16 bit print devices

Do applications like Apple's Aperture print 16 bits to the Epson updated driver? Would the Epson 3800 be considered a "16 bit device". Need to make sure before I assert "a fact" elsewhere. I think it's correct in saying the LR does not yet print 16 bits, is that true?

According to Apple it does. Lightroom does not yet print 16 bit to anything AFAIK.

  • Quick Question on 64-Bit PS CS5 & 3rd Party Filters

    I assume that if one installs the 64-bit version of PS CS5 (or above), that all older 3rd party Filters/Effects will have to either be upgraded (if possible), or replaced by a newer one. Is that correct?
    In Premiere Pro CS5, that is the case with all Effects, and CODEC's, but I am about to install PS CS5 on a new computer, and just want to verify my suspicions.
    As I have a ton of older Filters, and many are now long gone from the market, if that is the case, I might then install both the 32-bit and 64-bit, or keep my older PS CS2 handy, just for those.
    TIA,
    Hunt

    If you want to use a plug-in in the 64 bit Photoshop, then yes - a plug-in has to be compiled for 64 bit operation.  There is absolutely NO WAY to use a 32 bit plug-in with 64 bit Photoshop and vice versa.
    Photoshop normally installs both a 32 and 64 bit version on a 64 bit machine, and older plug-ins are generally compatible with the 32 bit version.  I have some old ones I still use, and they're probably never going to become available on 64 bits.
    I suggest that unless you have a DIRE shortage of disk space, you install both 32 and 64 bit Photoshop.  There are some intangible reasons...  Sometimes bugs in OpenGL drivers show up in one and not the other.  In other cases sometimes you might want a slightly different configuration for one than the other (e.g., for testing).  For a long time, for example, I kept my 32 bit Photoshop CS5 with OpenGL disabled, so I could easily test things both with and without OpenGL.
    Again, if you don't lack disk space I recommend keeping the old Photoshop (CS2) around as well.  Sometimes you remember that something used to work a certain way, and you want to go back and check...

  • Beginner question regarding 32-bit mixing and mixdown workflow

    Hello
    I have a beginner question regarding 32-bit mixing and mixdown.
    If I edit some 16Bit, 44.1kHz Stereo WAV Files and put them into multi-track view to do crossfades, how should I do the mixdown?
    Audition shows me in multi-track view, that it is doing 32-Bit mixing.
    Can I just mixdown to 16Bit, 44.1kHz Stereo without any dithering (as the files are 16Bit, 44.1kHz Stereo to begin with), or will I lose quality that way?
    I will be performing a normalization to 96% to the mixdown and then split to tracks in Audition, as in the end I want to to have an audio CD.
    I guess I could mixdown to 32Bit, then normalize and in the end save back to 16Bit, 44.1kHz Stereo WAV (with dithering, I suppose?), but I want to avoid any unnecessary converting steps.
    Greetings

    Any time you do any processing on a 16bit file in 16 bit only it will degrade the audio slightly due to rounding of the calculations. Working in 32 bit floating point (Audition's default) takes account of all bits generated due to processing.
    So it is always best to work in 32 bit, even if your originals were 16, all the way through until the last stage of saving the files for CD burning. Any losses due to conversion will be insignificant against those due to working 16 bit.

  • Re-importing into iPhoto 06 Quick Question

    I hope.
    My photos are on an external hard drive. I jogged the wire the other day during an import and stopped the import. When I next loaded up iPhoto all the photos had changed to ! , so I reimported them, which all worked fine, but it's reimported everything including the thumbnails, so I now have every picture at least twice and want to get rid of all the small sized files.
    Can I do it a quick way like search for photos below a certain size or should I import from a different point? I imported from the iPhoto directory, but should I have been a bit more specific on a sub directory? I want to make sure I get the original photos and any photos I've edited.
    Finally, should I delete the existing thumbnails in one of the directories before I re-import?
    Thanks

    It’s not a quick question.
    so I reimported them, which all worked fine, but it's reimported everything including the thumbnails, so I now have every picture at least twice
    This was not the way to go about this. You’ve now imported to a damaged database and that is inherently unstable.
    There is no way to search on file size in iPhoto. You may have some luck with Duplicate Annihilator
    However, do you still have the original library? If so, here’s how to start over:
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Installing OBIEE on Windows 7, quick questions

    Dear Experts,
    Last year, I struggled installing OBIEE on Linux 5.5.
    Now I want to install it on Windows 7 Ultimate.
    It will be stand alone, for my own use only.
    Both a client, and a server.
    Some quick questions:
    1)
    Does the Windows server need to have a Domain (as Linux did)?
    (I'm having some trouble with the same dummy domain that worked fine
    in Linux, since it doesn't exist on the web.)
    2)
    Does the Windows server/client require a loopback adapter?
    If so, does it require a static IP?
    3)
    Does the windows server/client require a static IP address?
    4)
    If static IP addresses are required for both 2 and 3,
    is the static IP address supposed to match, or be different?
    I hope these questions aren't too dumb. But I haven't found
    anything online addressing them for windows yet.
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi,
    1)
    Does the Windows server need to have a Domain (as Linux did)?
    (I'm having some trouble with the same dummy domain that worked fine

    A. Not required.
    2)
    Does the Windows server/client require a loopback adapter?
    If so, does it require a static IP?
    A. Yes it is require for Loopback adapter and static ip for installation -- Client installation is not required -- You can go for Simple installation in your laptop.
    3)
    Does the windows server/client require a static IP address?
    A. Yes
    4)
    If static IP addresses are required for both 2 and 3,
    is the static IP address supposed to match, or be different?
    A.
    Please refer my blog.

  • Quick Question: Setting Render File Location

    Hi all,
    Quick question. I'm guessing with all the disappointment, the answer will be no, but I fully realize that I could have overlooked something so its worth asking!
    In FCP7 (familiar phrase huh?) you could explicitly set a location for render files. I understand that you can save FCPX Events on different drives, as well as your projects, however it appears as if the Render Files are getting saved with a folder which also contains your .fcp project file.
    I ask because I like having my project file on my internal so my Time Machine will pick it up when I have it hooked up, but all of those render files take up loads of space and I'd like that on my external media drive instead.
    Is there:
    a.) A way to tell FCPX to store Render Files in a different location
    OR
    b.) A way to move the Render Files to a different location without screwing up FCPX's ability to recognize the project and load it properly.
    If so, great! If not, I'll send it along as a suggestion among with some others. Other than those overlooked technical aspects, I'm kind of digging the UI of FCPX and background rendering is saving me so much time its not even funny.

    Hi Jorgen
    I spent a bit of time on this today without any success.
    In our studio, it's only me that edits... but I use a laptop and a macpro when things get serious. I have a RAID array tyed to the Macpro, and I access it with my laptop via gigabit ethernet.
    I created aliases, and when I opened FCPX, nothing appeared. I also was not able to change the name of events I created, and while it would write the project name and events to the new aliased directories... when I reopened FCPX the events and projects were missing.
    I then tried symbolic links via the terminal. No luck. I then checked ownership permissions, and made sure the permissions were ignored for the drive and everything was world readable and writable. No luck.
    Have you had a chance to experiment with this yet?
    Thanks

  • Oracle 10gR2 Dataguard quick question

    Hi -
    Just a quick question about Oracle 10gR2 Dataguard. I'm in the process of creating dataguard standby, which is running for few hours and could take few more hours because of the size and the standby's network latency, and i'm using OMS to create the DG. I'm in a situation now to create new tablespace(A) and also one more datafile to the existing tablespace(B).
    Question is: How would this new tablespace and the new datafile in the existing tablespace affect the DG standby which is about to finish in couple hours? Will the DG pickup the new changes from the primary? Or, will it be done with error from the mismatch of the number of files? The issue is that i can't wait for the standby creation to be done as the additional tablespace and datafile requirement is production critical, and should be added right away.
    note: standby_file_management is set to auto.
    Thanks for your response.
    regards.

    Your post is a bit vague, as OMS is an acronym for Oracle Management Server, which is a service only.
    If you would have stated you are using Database Control, or RMAN duplicate database, the picture would have been much clearer.
    Database Control uses rman duplicate database.
    Recovery is the mandatory implicit last step of this procedure to pick up all changes since you started the duplicate.
    One word of warning: Network latency is one thing to avoid like hell in a standby configuration.
    It might even slow down your production database.

  • Silent installs - quick question

    Hi All
    We like to confirm if silent installations both 32-bit and 64-bit java jdk installs support installation directory option.
    Eg
    On 64-bit JDK
    jdk.exe /s /v/qn INSTALLDIR=C:\software_installations\jdk1.6\ /L C:\software_installations\scripts\auto-install.log\
    We ask because we keep getting pop-ups on options to install but it doesnt have INSTALLDIR option.
    Does 32-bit JDK have different options ?
    What are the exact command string including option of install directory ?
    We like to silent install our 32-bit and 64-bit JDKs with our custom install directory, not using the default.
    Thanks

    No multiposting, please. One thread is enough.

  • Quick question from future mac user

    Hi there.
    Just a quick question about the Intel iMacs.
    Total noob with Macs so please forgive me, I'm looking to get away from Windows and PC's but not sure what I would need exactly.
    Would the 24":3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac with 4GBs of RAM and 1TB hdd be more than enough to handle video/audio editing with Final Cut Pro Studio, some gaming (such as newer MMO games or RPG/FPS games) and maybe running VMware Fusion for running Windows apps and games that I have/use that are either not available or not yet supported by Apple?
    Or would I be looking at goin with the Mac Pro?
    I'd rather shoot for the iMac because I'm SO tired of PC's and boxes and would like my computer to actually look nice as well as kick butt. But I'm just worried that if I got with the iMac I won't be able to perform those functions well or at all.
    I love the look and feel of the iMac although I don't think you can get more than 4GBs of RAM or more than ONE hard drive inside (which isn't a big concern as I can always use external drives) so I'm just wondering if upgrading to the extra ram and hdd space from the get go would be a great help without having to worry about adding more later.
    I'd like to be able to just use the iMac than the Mac Pro because the price difference seems to jump up quite a bit between iMac and Mac Pro. I'm just worried if that type of iMac setup wouldn't be enough for what I need.
    Any suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Janin

    The iMac in general is more than enough to perform those tasks well however the Mac Pro still has it's advantages. Lenn already went over those so take a look at these speed scores as they may help you to make your decision.

    Either way I recommend getting the base RAM configuration from Apple and purchase RAM from OWC.

  • Should I install a 32 bit printer driver on a 64 Operating Sytem?

      I have an HP Officejet 6700e wireless printer.  It is used by 2 computers.  The Operating Systems on the computers are as follows:
        1 – HP Pavilion laptop using Windows 8.1, 64 bit.
        2 – HP Pavilion laptop using Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit.
      I noticed there are BOTH 32 bit and 64 bit printer drivers for Windows 7 and Windows 8 & 8.1.
     I have 2 questions:
      First, since both computers use 64 bit operating systems, shouldn't I install the 64 bit printer driver?
      Second, is there any advantage to installing the 32 bit printer driver on a 64 bit operating system?
    Thanks very much, Terry
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Install the driver which  matches the operating system and the bit type (32-bit or 64-bit)  that is installed on each PC.
    Second, is there any advantage to installing the 32 bit printer driver on a 64 bit operating system? There is no  advantage at all. It would actually be a bad practice unless the printer driver is compatible with both bit types.

  • 16-bit printing Windows HD Photo Plug-in for Adobe

    I use Photoshop CS4 and am thinking of getting the Epson 3880 printer, which has 16-bit printing capabilities. Unfortunately, at present Epson natively only makes 16-bit printing available for Mac systems. However, Windows came out with a plug-in for Windows XP and Vista systems. That was before Windows 7 was released. It was also before CS4 was released. The Windows site says the plug-in was designed for CS2 and CS3 and works through installing an  XPS Print Path.
    Will the plug-in work with CS4? Will it only allow me to print images saved in a Windows "HD" format, or will I be free to use standard formats that can be saved in 16-bit?
    Tony

    Thanks for your reply John, I've been off-line for a few days, so haven't had a chance to respond.
    The originator of the plug-in is Microsoft. The title of Microsoft's article about the plug-in is HD Photo Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® Software at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b157ca0f-083f-4957-9aa3-4da1de3dc 20b&DisplayLang=en
    The function of printing with 16-bit as opposed to the standard 8-bit is a much larger bit depth which should yield a richer dynamic range and an expanded range of colors to print with. It seems to me that, if the printer is capable of printing in 16-bit and Photoshop is capable of working with and formating for printing in 16-bit, it would make sense to take advantage of the enhanced capability. Windows by default does not print in 16-bit, but it is capable of doing so (in XP, Vista, and 7). Microsoft developed this plug-in for CS3 for Vista and XP. As I currently am using XP, the plug-in will work with my OS. My question is will it work with CS4? I have other ancient plug-ins that load and work normally in CS4. I've installed the KPT Filter Collection, which goes back generations before CS1. But it's just filters. I would thinik a print plug-in would be more involved, hence my question.

  • 16 bit printing in Lightroom for Windows

    According to a Lightroom 2 video from NAPP about printing, Scott Kelby states that 16 bit output is only available if you have OSX Leopard because it is an operating system specific feature, and Windows does not support 16 bit printing. However, Canon supplies a Photoshop plugin with the iPF5100 printer that supports 16 bit output regardless of the operating system in use. So I'm just curious why Lightroom doesn't support 16 bit output for Windows, but Photoshop does?  Or am I missing something?
    I've also asked the question at answers.microsoft.com if Windows 7 is going to support 16 bit printing, and a Microsoft MVP said "If a 16-bit print driver is created for the printer, 7 will not stop it from doing that. How an image is converted to print is not an OS limitation. The print driver does that."  So who am I to believe?  I would imagine that if Windows was capable of 16 bit print output then Adobe would support it on the Windows platform right?  So if anyone from Adobe can answer this question, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Regards,
    Dean

    When it comes to printing, LR talks to the OS, and the OS talks to the printer driver. Therefore, if LR supports 16-bit printing, the driver supports 16-bit printing, but the OS only supports 8-bit printing, then there's no benefit. The Canon PS plug-in is different because the OS is not involved; the plug-in is effectively talking directly to the printer driver.
    That said, I do not know for certain which versions of Windows support 16-bit print paths, not having investigated the matter myself.
    (I also humbly suggest that it's not as big of a deal as you might think. One the list of technical matters that factor into print quality, I'd have to rank 8-bit vs 16-bit printing as being pretty far towards the bottom.)

  • 16 Bit Printing in Win 7 64

    I have a Canon 9000Pro II.  Canon now provides a 16 bit driver for Win 7.
    How will LR3 handle files sent to this driver?  Will it still send an 8-bit file to the driver?
    Thanks,
    Wil

    I believe Ian is right. Mac only. That said, if you let Lightroom manage colors, you are not going to be able to see the difference between 8 and 16 bit prints. I've tested this quite a bit on my Mac and I only see a difference if you let the driver manage color. This is because Lightroom sends the data in prophotoRGB in that mode and that space quickly posterizes when you only have 8-bit precision. If you send the data to the driver in a printing profile (what happens when you let Lightroom manage), 8-bit is more than enough precision to generally not get posterization. That's just my experience though.

  • Report Generation Toolkit Error Quick Question

    Hi,
         I created the most awesome LabVIEW report ever at my desk using a trial version of the RGT and Office 2003.  I took this to my production machine and ")@#(&%(*#^%()^!!!"  The production machine has office 2007 and a fully licensed version of the RGT.  Both machines have LabVIEW 8.6.0.  I've read all the stuff about these errors and something about classes and dll's and whatnot's.  So my quick question, is:  Instead of matching the versions of Microsoft Office as recommended, can I just rewrite from scratch the VI that creates this world's most awesome LabVIEW report on the production machine to create the same effect? 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi 
    Quick Answer: Probably
    Slower answer: Microsoft changed a lot of things behind the scenes in Office 2007, but the Report Generation toolkit version 1.1.3 supports Office 2007 so you should be good to go. Depends on what functions are included in your VI. Liek the read me says "Several default settings in Microsoft Office 2007 differ slightly from previous versions. Reports you generate using Office 2007 might look different than reports you generate from other versions of Office because font sizes, cell sizes, and so on, differ."

  • Two quick questions about Library after moving beginning on a new computer

    Hi there,
    I just moved from Windows to Mac, meaning I had to move my iTunes library from the old PC to my new MBA.
    Just a couple of quick questions.
    1. When I started iTunes on my new Mac, in the preferences I directed the media folder to the folder with all my itunes music/podcasts etc, and then I imported the Library XML file.  Is this incorrect? Should I have imported a different file? Should I have used the itl file instead? 
    If so, should I delete the library and start again?  (if this is the case, please suggest the best way of doing this without affecting my media)
    - a kind of sub-question to this one:  some of the media files arent showing up in the iTunes library, but they are in the media folder on the ext HDD.  Is there a way I can find out which ones havent been recognized by iTunes?  Whats the best way of getting them in to my library?
    2. Pretty much half of my podcasts have not been loaded in the new iTunes.  The ones that havent were ones that I subscribed to on my iPhone, whereas the ones that show up in iTunes were ones I downloaded from iTunes.  When I connect my iPhone and sync it with iTunes, will those podcasts show up in iTunes?  Or is there a risk that they will be deleted from my iPhone?
    Cheers,

    The .xml is lacking some information such as ratings, date added, and play count.  Using the .itl includes this information but cannot be imported using the method you did.
    A complete library is everything in the iTunes folder.  By using the method you did you left the artwork behind in the artwork folder on the other machine.
    Selecting the media folder in preferences does not get iTunes to recognize the media.  All it does is tell iTunes to start storing new media in that location.
    Using the method I outlined nothing will be missed (with the exception of WMA) because you aren't rebuilding your library, you are using the one that already exists.
    You don't have to re-copy everything as long as you get the stuff you missed and re-assemble it all as it was before except not on the Mac.
