Setting Crop Dimensions Default

When I start to crop an image (R or by clicking the crop button in Develop), the crop selection box always is set to Original. I crop most images to 8x10 and would like to have that as default, rather than Original, but I can't find a way of doing it. Any help?
Thanks

I don't know a way to change the default, but you can set an 8x10 in one image, and then crop-sync it to all your other images. That will have the same effect as changing the default.

Can an action set the dimension of the crop and put in the center of the image?

Hi
running cs6 64bit under w7 64bit
can an action set the dimensions of the crop height & length and put the crop in the center of the image?
or should i need a script?
i mean for example i taken many photos about 20mp mega pixel
i would like to run a script or an action that set the height & length and set the crop in the center of the image
thanks

you know cs6 starts with histogram in colors mode
I have a hard time with English even though it may native language. I'm having some problem with what you wrote.
Yes cs6 does not have what Adobe calls conditional actions they put into CC. That feature more or less an IF statement condition on some document attributes. Like if document width is greater then document height play action landscape else play action portrait.   With CS6 you need to write one line script to use in actions. Most of the utility scripts I wrote for use in actions are more complex then a simple if statement.
The way you record scripts is PS is be using Adobe Scriptlistener Plug-in when installed the plug-in records everything you do that can be recorded into two log files one in JavaScript and the other in VBS. The code generated works by passing parameters to Adobe Photoshop's Action Manager. To make scripts toy need to extract the steps you need from one of the log files.    However some thing you can do in Photoshop can not be recorded. And while your right that the scriptlistener plug-in does not record anything for setting the histograms to RGB channel or Luminosity channel your wrong when you write the Action Recorder can do it.
However scripts can get the histograms channel data. I have never process a histogram in a script however there is a sample Photoshop Histogram in the Photoshop javascripting guide. That creates a text graph log.

How to show cropped dimensions while cropping?

I often crop to specific dimensions. I made a preset with my preferred ratio and then move the corner handle bar. With develop view options set to show the cropped dimensions, I can see the dimensions in pixels, but it does not update while I move the cropping handles. It only does if I click "i" three times to cycle through the info overlay.
Any tip or is this something to go on the wishlist for LR3?

Realtime updating of the crop dimensions is not supported. If you really believe that it would be beneficial then submit a feature request.

Crop dimensions keep changing

I've installed the trial version of Photoshop Elements 13 but there is one detail I do not like at all.
It's the crop tool settings, in Elements 12 you could set the dimensions under custom setting and they would never change until you typed in new dimensions.
For example I use 12.7cm x 8.89cm with 300dpi, I use these as 99% of the photos I currently edit are for media publication and that is the preferred dimensions. When I close Elements 12 and then re-open it either 30 minutes later or a few days later those settings are still there ready for the next batch of photos to edit.
Now move onto Elements 13 and it all changes, I have had to keep manually typing in the dimensions from one photo to the next as 13 constantly (and annoyingly) keeps reverting back to 'Use Photo Ratio'. I have read different pieces of advice online and some say to run as administrator and that once the dimensions have been changed they stay like that the next time Elements is opened.
Yes the settings are there once re-opened BUT once the first photo has been cropped then it once again reverts back to 'Use Photo Ratio'. As this an important feature for me then it looks like I will have to stick with Elements 12, and save my money, unless of course Adobe decide to put an update out to correct this.
If anyone from Adobe would be willing to comment on this I would be happy to hear what they have to say.
Neil

You can turn off automatic crop suggestions. See image below. Go to: Edit >> Preferences >> General (on Mac Photoshop Elements Editor >> Preferences >> General) then uncheck the option shown highlighted in red and click OK
The crop tool will work as in previous versions of PSE but you can still hover over the thumbnail suggestions in the tool options at the bottom

How can I set up a default (pre-recorded) voicemail greeting on iphone 4s?i dont want a custom one with my voice i want the pre-recorded where a lady says my number . how do i get that?

Voicemail is a cell phone carrier function. Contact your carrier to see if they have this option. If not, i'm sure you can download a sound file from the internet with a greeting and add your name. Then play it back on you PC while holding your iPhone near the speaker when recording the greeting to voicemail.

After uninstalling nightly, I can no longer set firefox as default browser for email links and they no longer open.

When I try to change the default firefox protocols in windows, only the nightly shows and I can not unclick it. When I attempt to click on a link in an email (Windows Live) I get "Class not registered"
I presently have IE set as my default because it is the only possible way to open email links.

You can install both win32 and win64 Firefox Nightly builds on a 64-bit Windows computer. As you should know, all Firefox nightly builds are intended for testing only. If you downloaded your Firefox nightly build from http://nightly.mozilla.org/ then you got the win32 installer. (win64 installers are available from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/ and possibly elsewhere: [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=12694481#p12694481 ref.])
Anyway, the bug report I referred to earlier ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=870312 Bug 870312] - Installing Nightly causes "Class not registered" error on click on link in other apps after uninstall) fits your issue ("broken" uninstaller). It was triaged as a "Shell Integration" Firefox bug for x86_64 Windows 8.
Whether you had the 32-bit or 64-bit Firefox nightly installed, you can try reinstalling a more recent build of that, and then uninstall it again. That worked for a Windows user who had problems uninstalling Firefox Nightly x64 as reported in this thread:
*http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2473175
If that doesn't work, also try reinstalling Firefox 25, to see if that helps matters.
I'm not the best person to help you, though, since I'm not testing Firefox nightly on my Win7 x64 computer. Hopefully someone will be along that can help you better, or you could try on the MozillaZine Firefox Builds forum (it's linked from the nightly.mozilla.org page).

Set iCloud as default in outlook 2013

Hi,
I like to set iCloud as default in outlook 2013 (Windows 8.1 x64)
The big issues are the contacts and appointments.
How can I use those as default?
Is there an upgrade of iCloud software being developed, or is there a workaround I can use instead?
With best regards,
g

Unfortunately, you can't set iCloud as your default. You can, however, change the default address book in Outlook to access your iCloud contact list when addressing email, as explained here: http://www.msoutlook.info/question/262.

HOW TO SET A ITEM DEFAULT VALUE to today

I have a item using select list and I like to set this item default value as
today's date , such as "select to_char(sysdate,'YYYY-MM-DD') from dual"
HTMLDB failed recongnize the default value, or throw error Error ERR-9132 Error in PLSQL expression for item default code, ...". I have tried each of 3 avaialable Default Value Types
Per http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=443287, it is used to be doable, but the default value type (sql) is no longer avaialble in HTMLDB 2.0
I would appreaciate it very much if anyone has successfully done this before, either set to today or current month

Ching - Did you try a PL/SQL Expression using to_char(sysdate,'YYYY-MM-DD')?
There have been no changes to the item default types available in HTML DB. The thread you referenced is for Oracle Portal, a separate and unrelated product.

Two Fact tables with Different set of Dimension Tables

Here is my scenario:
I got two fact tables: X and Y (actually, they are the same tables, but with different level of data)
and four dimension tables: A, B, C, D
X joins relationship to all dimensions (A, B, C, D).
Y joins relationship to only A, B, C, but no D.
When I select dimension A, B and C together with fact tables X and Y in BI Answer, result is displayed and compared.
However, if I select dimension D together with fact tables X and Y, only data from fact table X is displayed. There is no result displayed for fact table Y. I know that this is because fact table Y does not join to dimension D.
If the above relationship unchanged, how can I display both X and Y's result in BI Answer when dimension D is selected?

Thanks for all your replies.
Actually, I've tried the solutions you guys mentioned. Generally speaking, the result should be displayed. However, my scenario is a little bit tricky.
table Y's figures are not the aggregation of table X for D dimension. Instead, table Y's figures include not only D dimension total, but also others (others do not mean A, B, C dimension). For example, table Y stores all food's figure, while table X stores only drink's figure. D dimension is only about drink's detail. In my scenario, other foods' figure is not provided.
So, even if I set D dimension to all/total for table X, table X's result is still not the same as table Y.
Indeed, table Y does not have a column key to join to D dimension's key. So, if I select D dimension and table Y's measures at the same time in BI Answer, result returns no data. Hence, I can't compare table X and table Y's results with selection of D dimension.
Is there any solution to solve this problem?

Custom Master page set as a default on feature activation in Moss

Hello Sameer,
When you are calling "RemoveCustomMasterPage" function?
Also make below change in web.config file your web application to know the problem:
1. Open up your sites web.config, and make the standard custom errors edit. You want it to be < customerrors mode="Off"/>
2. Then, search for the CallStack="false" and change it to CallStack="true", you should find this in the "<safemode>" node.
3. Find: <compilation debug="false" />, Replace with: <compilation debug="true" />

Set InDesign -- by default -- not to make hyperlinks Shared Destinations?

I have a newsletter template in ID CS4 based on a template with some standing hyperlinks to my organization's web pages.
Recently, when I created a new file based on the template, my computer started bogging down looking NOT for the web page in the hyperlink, but in the copy of the InDesign file that created it. Checked the properties in Hyperlink Options, and instead of URL, the links went to a Shared Destination (a copy of the document on a shared drive, not an Internet server). Changed the properties to link them to URLs instead, but when I opened the document again, they went back to Shared Destinations. How can I set InDesign -- by default -- not to hook hyperlinks up to Shared Destinations? (My agency was ready to upgrade me to CS6 until it became available in the Cloud only).
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSB152EA6F-30D9-417c-9E16-A2C492C04892.html
Note: If a URL hyperlink isn’t working in the exported PDF, there may be a problem with the hyperlink being a “Shared Destination.” Double-click the hyperlink in the Hyperlinks panel, choose URL from the Link To menu, deselect Shared Hyperlink Destination, and click OK
But I wan to make NOT sharing hyperlinks the default

Given the bug with shared hyperlinks (see https://forums.adobe.com/message/6408902#6408902), I too would like to turn off shared hyperlink destination as the default. Anyone found a way to do this?

What version of Windows and Office is it? I had this issue with an older version of office and Windows XP. Basically, MS are using their browser (IE) because it's their software (MS Office). If you go to options in MS word though, you should be able to find an option to set the default browser to open links.
