Setting clipping/overlay/live view

Hi.
Coming from a CaptureOne Pro background, I'm new to the Lightroom environment.
There are 3 things I would like to know.
I've started to work in LR5 using MAC OS X Yosemite.
1. Can one set the clipping to show highlight and shadow warnings for print?
RGB values are 0 - 255, want to set it to 10 - 245.
2. Is it possible to change the opacity of the Loupe overlay as it stays at 100%?
3. Is there a "live view" feature in LR5 to view compositions live before shooting?
Regards
Neville

You can't do this in Soft Proof mode, but hold down the ALT key when adjusting the Exposure, Whites, or Blacks sliders to see individual RGB channel clipping. All other areas not clipped are Black making it easier to adjust these controls. ALT key is also helpful when adjusting the Detail panel sliders.

Unfortunately no. I use the Canon EOS Utility Live View mode, which also allows remotely adjusting the camera and Speedlite settings. Lightroom is set to use a "Watched Folder" and I have RawDigger open to check actual raw data clipping when adjusting exposure or Speedlite flash settings. I seriously doubt you'll ever see this full-capability implemented in LR.

Spry Data Set visible in Live View, but not on Site.

Hi,
I've used the spry data set widget to create a dynamic table. Everything looks fine in the live view. On the site itself, however, I see only a brief flash of the unpopulated spry table, and then nothing. All necessary files, including those in the SpryAssets folder, have been uploaded.
This is particularly frustating since my first crack at a spry data set worked with ease.
I have the feeling that I missing something simple. Any ideas?
Here is the table:

Thanks for looking,

Jim, Your page comes up fine in Firefox, but as you said it flashes and disappears in IE8.
I notice some differences in the ids and Spry:sort values. You might sort those out (make them the same) and see what happens.
This is in the profiletable:
<td id="Image">Image</td>
<td id="First">First </td>
<td wid="Last">Last </td>                                        lose the w
<td id="Sschool">School</td>                                   lose the extra s
<td id="Grade">Grade </td>
<td id="Subject1">Subject1</td>
<td id="Subject2">Subject2</td>
<td w id="Description">Description</td>                    lose the w and the extra space
And this in the Spry region:
<th spry:sort="Image">Image</th>
<th spry:sort="First">First</th>
<th spry:sort="Last">Last</th>
<th spry:sort="School">School</th>
<th spry:sort="Grade">Grade</th>
<th spry:sort="Subject1">Subject1</th>
<th spry:sort="Subject2">Subject2</th>
<th spry:sort="Description">Description</th>
It's possible that IE is pickier than Firefox that the names be the same.
Other than that, look for things to clean up, like tightening up the table...I notice several places in the data where there are blank lines between the </tr> of one line and the <tr> of the next. Make sure every entry in the table has a cell for every column.
You're right; it is an easy Widget to work with...unless some tiny thing goes wrong and it doesn't work! I have had a data set that had some of those tiny anomalies, fixed them, and now I know to look for them.

LCD live viewing & copy work with EOS 70D (W)

Hi,
Can anyone please provide insight, guidance, solutions to accomplish this efficiently?
Goal/operation:
I want to use the camera for copy work: portfolio, flat art, photos, objects etc. I have old family photo albums I want to copy/photograph each image separately without removing/disturbing/damaging the images in the books.
The camera is mounted on a vertical copy stand shooting down (subject is mainly flat art).
I want to be able to view through the LCD in live view (camera is 90º facing down at copy board), have manual control, set up & align the subject and shoot the photos using the flash lighting system in quick efficient production process.
Equipment used:
Camera EOS 70D (W)
Minolta Copy stand
Novatron 240 portable light system, 2 lights with polarized sheet film
synch connections:
wireless - Pocket Wizard Plus 2 Transceiver.
wired - Nikon AS-15 Hot shot cord adapter
PROBLEM
I am having issues being able to view through the LCD, set up & align the subject and shoot the photos - without jumping through hoops.
It seems I have to switch to Av from M after shutter release to view subject in LCD, then switch back to M for the next shot, camera fails to shoot and shows error message: “Press start/stop button to activate movie shooting”. This doesn’t make sense as I’m not movie shooting.
If I change the mode to “Flash off” and back to “M” then it appears to work, however once I switch to Av mode to view the subject again, it starts the process all over.
There must be a better/easier way.
Could this be a potential bug in the camera? or am I missing something? I don’t see solutions in manual.
Will mode setting “C” Custom allow “Live viewing” w/ custom “Manual control” to bypass the need to use “M” manual setting that wont allow LCD viewing?
Camera settings:
Shooting with LCD (live view shooting)
mode setting:
Av - for live viewing and setup of subject
Then switch to M - Manual for manual control and shutter release
Also - I would like to connect to Apple Mac Laptop computer, live view on screen, and if possible have the option to record the photos direct to computer hard disk. Can this be done with this camera? IF so, what is needed?
Best regards,
J

-Canon 70D have built-in Wifi, so you can connect your camera with your computer wirelessly for tethered shooting. I have PC so the instruction may be different, but you need to install Canon EOS Utility.
-You can do everything in M mode even Live View. I think you are doing something wrong here, you may need to re-read your manual regarding this problem.
-C mode is customized M mode, so you can do everything in C mode also. With C mode, you can save all the setting so you can come back later. It's a great use in your case where you can make your C mode has all the settings for your work, then when you take the camera out to shoot something else, use other mode. Later, when you come back, just switch back to C so you don't have to change anything.

Help with live view new camera options...

Hey guys...I have recently bought a hahnel remote shutter release so that I can take pics on the top of a mast around seven metres up.
I have a 5 inch monitor at ground level to view the pictures taken, using an av cable from the camera. Problem is, I cant get a continuous "live view" image on the monitor, as you need to hold down the * button whilst in live view to auto focus, so I have to put up with just the shot thats been taken showing up after each shot instead!
Does anyone know of a canon that would offer a continuous live view image on my monitor, without having to press the * button to auto focus?
Ideally it would be one from the list below, as they are the cameras that my new hahnel wireless remote supports!
I hope someone can help! cheers!
List of supported cameras...would any of these offer live view without the need to press * to autofocus and take a shot:
Compatible Camera Models:
EOS 1200D / 1100D / 1000D / 650D / 600D / 550D /500D / 450D / 400D / 350D / 300D /

What camera are you using? Most "modern" Canon SLRs allow you to set focus during live view. You move a little rectangle around to select your focus area. But you need more than a monitor, you'd either need a computer (like a small netbook) running EOS Utility, or a tablet with DSLR Remote or equivilent on it. The 70D and 6D both have WiFi ability, so you can do it from a smart phone, tablet, or computer, no wires needed.

Overlaying Several Video Clips to be viewed Simultaneously

Hello,
I'm a new FCE user. I'm trying to take several video clips and overlay them so that they all show simultaneously. I have a long clip I want to break into pieces, make them somewhat transparent and have them all play as on clip at one time at an increased speed. The intent is to take a long piece and make make it much shorter and more interesting to watch.
Any ideas?

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Select your long clip in the Viewer, set in and out points for the first part you want to use, put it in V1 on your Timeline. Go back to the long clip in the Viewer, set new in and out points for the second part you want to use, put it in V2 on top of the clip in V1. Continue that process as many times as you need to.
Adjust transparency by clicking the clip overlays button (zig zag lines at the bottom left of the Timeline window). When you do so, a black horizontal line appears near the top of each video track in the Timeline. Click and drag the line down to decrease the opacity of the clip.
If you don't already have one, you'd be very wise to purchase an instructional book. Two excellent choices are Final Cut Express Editing Workshop by Tom Wolsky (frequent contributor to this forum) and Apple Pro Training Series: Final Cut Express by Diana Weynand. Each is around $30 on Amazon.

How do you configure Dreamweaver to accept PHP in live view when set up with a local testing server (ie., localhost:8888) via MAMP (not MAMP Pro)? My site shows up in the browser, but not in DM live view. Thanks.

I am using a Macbook Pro with Yosemite and cannot get live view to work in conjunction with my local server or with my php files.
What could be wrong? I have set up/synced everything with my root folder in htdocs.
Thanks:-)

Setting up Dreamweaver CS4 with PHP testing server... Live View doesnt work

Hello,
Im trying to setup Dreamweaver CS4 with a php website im
making. Ive setup the site information, and provided a testing site
(XAMPP), and i can see the fully rendered .php pages in the Live
View tab. However, say i change some of the text in the .php file
(say from <p>Hello</p> to <p>Hi</p>) and
then click in the Live View tab - the page does not update. It
seems to do something, bit just returns the same.
How do i set it up so, like with plain .html pages, you can
make a change to the source code and instantly see the change in
Live View?
(At the moment i have to make the change to the source code,
save it, click Live View to cancel it, and then click Live View
again).
Background:
Ive setup XAMPP (G:\XAMPP\)
Ive setup vhosts in apache.
Ive stored my websites in G:\Websites
Ive set the testing server to G:\Websites\site, where "site"
is setup as a vhost and correctly displays when entered into a
browser.
Ive set the url prefix to
http://site/
Ive set local root to G:\Websites\site
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Did you try using F5 to refresh the page? If that doesn't
work for you,
then you'll have to drop and restart Live view. No need to
save and reload
the page.

Multiple Exposure (LIve View overlay) on 5D MKIII

Not sure if someone can spread any light on this issue.....Trying to follow the video shown http://www.dylandsara.com/canon-5d-mark-iii-double-exposure-tutorial/
And when i switch to the Live View mode to see the overlay there is nothing there.....like shown in the video....and switching back out of live view i find the function disabled....
Maybe this is a firmware update issue, in that I have updated the camera to the latest release from Canon version 1.2.3
EOS 5D MKIII + EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, Sigma DG 150-500 5-6.3 APO HSM, , EF 55-200mm 4.5-5.6 USM, Speedlite 430EXII
EOS 350D, EFS 18-55mm

Okay...found out how this is done after further reading and playing about with the camera
You don't actually switch the button from picture mode to Live View Mode.......
what you have to do is press the Start/Stop button in the middle of the switch that you would normally use if you were to switch to Live View Mode and Record a video...

Live view from java to flex - blinking image

i am trying to simulate a live view using a canon Camera.
I am interacting with the cam using the CanonSDK, i get an image every a short period in order to simulate a video frame by frame. This works fine, i am using java to do the backend and send the images trough BlazeDS to flex.
The problem is not getting the image, the problem is that when i load a new image using something like:
image.source=my_new_image;
the new image is loaded but it produces a short white blink and it ruins the video...So i would like to know if there is a way to use channels of streaming or some way to pass the set of images in live view to flex and show them in the interface of flex from java.
Thank you very much!
Agustina

I have this same problem in an SWF that I have an external image loading into. In another SWF, I don't have this problem. In one instance, the image is at the start of the movie clip and at the other it's on the last frame of the movie clip. My only suggestion would be to load as many of the images as you can off-screen and then put listeners on the images to know they are loaded before you show them. You can do that by:
this.addElement(image);
image.addEventListener(FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE, imageLoaded);
private function imageLoaded(event:Event):void{
//image is loaded...

Website works in live view but actual site it totally gone after making some edits.

I have had my website through dreamweaver for about a year now. I have been using "simple viewer" program as my gallery for images. However lately I had been having trouble updating and changing images. So yesterday I set up a gallery with the dreamweaver "lightbox" widget. Everything works fine in the dreamweaver live view but when I put the site to my domain its now totally gone. It seems that the site is still trying to link back to the simpleviewer gallery, but nothing shows up, just a white page. I am not sure what is going on here. Customer support through my web host was unhelpful. My site is
www.ryancomptonart.com

When I changed galleries (the gallery is on the index page) I just deleted the simple viewer code and added the lightbox code and resaved the same index_html file.
Here is the entire index page with the new lightbox code: warning this is very long because of the amout of images:

Text Fields Not Showing in Design or Live View

Hello Everyone,
I have run into a problem trying to create a simple contact form through Dreamweaver CS6. I have two text fields for Name & Email, and 1 text area for Comments. The issue I am running into is that the text fields are not showing in Design or Live view. I have set-up all variables required for the server for the form to work... but that should not have any effect on the text field showing... I tried uploading my contact page with the same result of no text fields showing...
What is really laughable is that the "text area" I placed in my form for Comments shows up in Design & Live view just fine. I am thinking that I am missing something, but just do not know what exactly. The form is styled through CSS.
Here is the form code:
     <div id="CRDForm">
       <form action="http://www.sweetformimi.com/formmail/formmail.php" method="post" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" name="contact" target="_self" id="contact">
    <input type="hidden" name="env_report" value="REMOTE_HOST,REMOTE_ADDR,HTTP_USER_AGENT,AUTH_TYPE,REMOTE_USER">
    <input type="hidden" name="recipients" value="[email protected]" />
    <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Contact Form" />
         <label><p>Your Full Name
           <input name="Name" type="text" id="Name" size="40" /></p>
         </label>
         <label><p>Email
         <input name="email" type="text" accesskey="2" tabindex="2" title="Email" value="Email"></p>
         </label>
         <label>Comments<br />
         <textarea name="comments" cols="40" rows="10" accesskey="3" tabindex="3" title="Comments"></textarea>
         </label>
         <input name="submit" type="submit" accesskey="4" tabindex="4" title="submit" value="submit">
       </form>
    </div>
Are there other variables I should be thinking about in the rest of my site? I am using a fluid grid layout. I have CSS for desktop, tablet, and phone devices. I also have a primary CSS file that imports all three. The sites structure was done by using <header>, <article>, <footer>, and of course <div> tags.
Has anyone ever experienced the "text fields" not showing up before? Is it a simple fix as reinstalling Dreamweaver CS6? Finally, another thing I should mention is that I did have a previous version of Dreamweaver on my comp, which was CS3. I did not uninstall that before installing the newer version. I assumed (and I could be wrong here) that it would automatically replace the older version.
I apoligize for it being long winded, but I am looking for some help on this issue...
Thank You

Hey thank you osgood for the reply!
When I look at code for long hours it sort of blurs together, and I miss things... I think that happens to the most of us
Ya I found what was blocking my text fields in my desktop.css
I primarily work through code view, and currently working on quite a few projects kind of makes your eyes miss the small errors.
Thanks again!

Spry menu bar not visible in live view

Hi everyone,
I was just working on the css for my spry menu bar and went to check it out in the live view, but it is no longer visible. I checked it out in Safari and Firefox to no avail. It looks totally fine in the design view in Dreamweaver. I'm new to web design and I have no idea what I did, but I'm really hoping someone here does! Below is the CSS.

@media screen, projection
ul.MenuBarVertical li.MenuBarItemIE
display: inline;
f\loat: left;
background: #FFF;

My guess is that you have a dark background in which case the menu items will not be seen.
I suggest you have a look here first http://www.dwcourse.com/dreamweaver/ten-commandments-spry-menubars.php#one, then resurrect the original SpryMenuBarVertical.css and change as required.

DW CS5 - PHP in HTML file - no display in DW live view

Have DW CS5, Local IIS 7 (Win 7 64x) testing server (Server Model: PHP MySQL) set up and working. External browsers render .html files with PHP fine (URL=http://localhost/testphp.html), DW Live View will not parse/display the PHP with ".html" extension. No ".htaccess" file, DW PHP Tag Library has all PHP "Used In:" boxes checked. Example:
Example 1
File name: testphp.php
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello There</h1>
<script language="php">
echo "Hello World";
</script>
</body>
</html>
DW Live View and external browser URL: http://localhost/testphp.php:
Hello There
Hello World
Example 2
File name: testphp.html (same content as above, just filename extension changed)
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello There</h1>
<script language="php">
echo "Hello World";
</script>
</body>
</html>
DW Live View:
Hello There
external browser URL: http://localhost/testphp.html:
Hello There
Hello World
How to configure DW CS5 to display PHP in DW Live View with file extension= ".html"?
Thanks in advance, have spent 2 days trying to accomplish!
Steve

File name: testphp.php
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello There</h1>
<script language="php">
echo "Hello World";
</script>
</body>
</html>
This is not PHP code
The red code part should read as to be classified as PHP script
<?php echo "Hello World"; ?>
File name: testphp.html (same content as above, just filename extension changed)
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello There</h1>
<script language="php">
echo "Hello World";
</script>
</body>
</html>
Apart from the same mistake as above, this file will not be recognised as containing PHP without the PHP extension. You can setup the server to accept HTML and to interpret same as PHP, but I would not recommend this.
DW Live View:
Hello There
external browser URL: http://localhost/testphp.html:
Hello There
This is amazing! With the code above? If you hadn't told me I would not have believed it. I tried it on my humble setup and you are correct. It works using the PHP file but not the HTML file. It doesn't matter, it is still not correct.
How to configure DW CS5 to display PHP in DW Live View with file extension= ".html"?
It is not up to DW to determine, it is the PHP server that determines whether PHP in an HTML file will be shown. Have a look here http://php.about.com/od/advancedphp/p/html_php.htm .Once again, I do not recommend this
I hope this helps.
