Settings for books

I shoot Canon high end DSLRs and wanted to try an Aperture book. My usual workflow sends a 300dpi tiff to print with an embedded AdobeRGB profile. If I understand it, we can only use JPEGs here. If that is right, what is the best dpi setting to send? Can they handle an embedded profile, and if so which? Thanks.

The book I just printed had the following settings. I created my book using 16-bit .PSD images. The reason I used Photoshop images is that I wanted to apply some additional sharpening via Photoshop's SmartSharpen filter (I prefer it to Aperture's sharpening algorithms), and I wanted to place a signature in the corner of each photo. I flattened the resulting layered file, imported it back into Aperture with a name i.e. 'Book1-picture name.psd'. The embedded profile for each of these photos was Adobe 1998.
I then selected my book, placed the .PSD files where I wanted them, and sent the book to be published. The entire order/print/receive process took 3 days. This was a test run to see how these types of images would work, and the results came back fine. Exactly what I saw on my monitor.
I would suggest you try a test run on your own. Experiment with how you want to process your images, and see what the final result looks like printed.

  • Import settings for books on CD

    Hi all,
    What are the best import settings to import books on CDs into iTunes?  Regular MP3 and "high quality" seems to use up a huge amount of disk space.  Is there a rule of thumb for this?

    Use the largest file, pixel wise, that you can. The books are printed at 300 dpi so the largest size the better to insure you'll get as close to that dpi for the largest page picture possible.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using on Mac?
    Export your Timeline content to a .mp4 file, using export settings which have been customized under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the export's preset.
    See Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD and .mp4 category. The exported file is then uploaded to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
    If you post the properties of your source video and project settings, I will suggest the settings for the Timeline content export to file saved to the computer

  • I can't search for books or authors on my iphone 6. It says no results found every time. Is there some setting I may have wrong? I have been using my kindle app instead.

    I can't search for book or authors in ibooks.  When I search an author or book and click on it a message that says not results found comes up.  Even if I try to look up something popular like Dracula or Twilight.  Is there some setting I should have clicked?  It won't find or download any books at all anymore.  This started about a month ago.  I have been using my Kindle app instead.

  • Optimum settings for vga to svhs adapter

    I have my mac connected to my tv via composite out on the vga to svhs adapter. The colours on the TV are washed out and there is hardly any contrast. the white is more of an off grey.
    I was wondering if anyone knew anything i could do on my mac to make this any better? i don't really wanna change the picture settings on my tv as when i watch normal tv they'd be wrong and i'd have to change them again.
    i'm more looking for the best settings for the tv from my mac, and an explanation of why the colours are so different would be good too!
    not askin for much! ha,

    ok and one other question, Is there a way to close the lid on my mac book and not have the display go away on my LCD tv? Because if i leave the lid open its fine but if i close it then the computer basically just goes to sleep.

  • Security settings for all users

    I recently developed a document that requires digital signatures and have been testing it. The only downside is that when a user opens the document, Adobe prompts for the installation of new security settings, and it installs it for that user only. I need to add a registry key to the new security settings, but it is only available to be added to the current user hive. Does anyone know how to install the new settings for all users?
    Here is the registry key I need to add.
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\Security\cPubSec]
    "bSelfSignCertGen"=dword:00000000
    Im using Adobe Reader 9.3 and Win XP.
    Any help would be terrific!
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    There are really two separate issues. First, is Adobe pushing updates to the Acrobat Address Book (i.e. adding certificates as trust anchors) and the second issue is how you can push your own update to disable the creation of self-signed digital IDs. Although the two issues share an underlying mechanism, they are separate and you cannot leverage one for the other.
    First issue first. Adobe has entered into partnership with certain Certificate Authorities and has created a mechanism to add their certificates to the Acrobat Address Book (aka Manage Trusted Identities) using http to send a copy of the Security Settings file that contains only digital IDs. There are two ways to trigger the download process. One is to go into the Preferences, select Trust Manager, and click the Update Now button in the Automatic Updates group box. The other method is to load the DigSig plug-in (beginning with Acrobat 9, plug-ins no longer load a launch in order to speed up the launch process). As I'm sure you have deduced, opening a file with a signature field cause the DigSig plug-in to load which in turn triggers the automatic download. The reason we have limited the automatic download to DigSig being loaded is because the vast majority of people viewing PDFs are not using the digital signature functionality (much to my personal chagrin because the more people use digital signatures, the better my job security ) and we didn't want to bother them with an update they would never need. People already complain that there are too many updates, and we are trying to limit the irritability factor. To close the loop on this function, once the download process has been triggered the Acrobat check two more things before it does the update, 1) has it been a month since I checked and, 2) if it has been a month is there a new file to download. This way we are not pestering people with unneeded updates, or if they do need the update, at least not too often. And finally, Address Book management has to be on a per user basis. A certificate that you may elect to trust could be a certificate that the next person want to specifically keep untrusted. The Windows Certificate Store, Mac Keychain and Firefox Certificate Manager all work on a per user basis.
    That brings us to what you would like to do. The good news is you can use the Export Security Settings featrue to create a distributable file that will set the preference. The real question is how will you distribute the file, but before we get to that, here is how to create the file.
    With Acrobat closed, set the registry setting you noted in the message above
    Launch Acrobat
    Select the Advanced > Security > Export Security Settings menu item
    Click the Deselect All button on the Export Security Settings dialog
    Select the Signing Preferences Settings checkbox
    Click the OK button on the Export Security Settings dialog
    Select Signature Creation Settings and note "Allow creation of self-signed Digital IDs" is set to No
    Click the Export button on the toolbar
    Follow the on screen dialogs. You don't have to encrypt the file, but you must sign it with a certifying signature
    At this point you have the file available for distribution. You could e-mail it to your intended recipients with import instructions, or you could post if for download, or you could set the Preference the to automatically push the file from a server. To check this feature out select the Edit > Preferences menu item and then select Security from the Categories list box. You would need to select the Load security settings from a server checkbox and then set up the URL. As an aside, you can also export these settings by selecting the Automatic Update Settings checkbox on the Export Security Settings dialog noted in the bullet points above. You have a chicken and egg problem in that you have to get the users to first manually import the file in order to set up the automatic import. That I can't help you with, you're just going to have to decide what works best for you.
    Good luck,
    Steve

    Sync message, "You have changed the settings for your iphone.  Would you like to apply these changes?" What does this mean?  I don't recall changing anything...

    The main settings that are changed in these cases can be found in this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
    To ensure you don't lose any data you don't want taken off, ensure that each Summary, Apps, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, iTunes U, Books, & Photos have the settings you would prefer on the computer. 
    If anything gets changed on any of those pages, you will be prompted with that message.  If they look fine, especially after adding some media like songs or videos, then you can apply the changes without fear.

  • Settings for Ex Post Forecast

    Hi Experts,
    I am using Expost Keyfigure(9AVEXPOST) in Pl. Book and I know the concept for ex-post. But needs to know that what all settings need to be done so that the value ll be populate in keyfigure after stats run.
    Working on SAP SCM 5.10
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Thanks.
    Hitesh

    Hi Hitesh,
    Please ensure the following settings.
    1) While defining the planning book, ensure the key figure for expost forecast is maintained
    2) Maintain Customer-Specific Settings for Outlier Correction in customisation
    3) The planning area needs to be initialised with the characteristics and key figures
    4) While maintaining the forecast profile, under univariate forecast profile tab, select Ex-Post Method in the Outlier Correction field.
    When you execute a forecast, the system:
    1.      Carries out a forecast with the chosen model using the u2018rawu2019 historical data. It calculates an ex-post forecast for all historical values.
    2.      Checks the periods in the initial phase (Customizing setting, default 3 periods) against the ex-post forecast. If the historical value is outside the tolerance lane the system corrects the value to either the ex-post value or the nearest boundary of the tolerance lane.
    3.      After the initial phase, if it has found and corrected an outlier, the system carries out another ex-post forecast and calculates MAD again. You can specify whether the system uses the local MAD (the value calculated up to and including the current period) or the global MAD. You can also specify in Customizing how many periods have to be free of outliers before the system calculates the ex-post forecast again. The default is 2.
    Customizing
    You can save the above settings user-specifically in Customizing under Advanced Planning and Optimization ® Supply Chain Planning ® Demand Planning ® Basic Settings ®Maintain User-Specific Settings for Outlier Correction. If a user does not have their own settings, those of DEFAULT_USER are used. It is possible to change these system defaults.

  • How do I set the conversion settings for Word to ignore outline autonumbering for headings?

    I have a user manual in Word that uses outline autonumbering for Heading 1, Heading 2, etc. For example, "1.0 Introduction," "1.1 System Settings" and so on).
    I know when setting the conversion settings for FrameMaker, you can select the Ignore Autonumber option in the Conversion Settings dialog to keep only the paragraph content. I don't see anything like this for the Word Conversion Settings. Does this capability exist?

    To clarify:
    I have my paragraphs in Word set up with the required numbering properties using Word's Style settings. In Word, I want the headings to be numbered 1.0, 1.1, 1.1.1, etc. because the intent is for the reader to read through the manual like a book - from start to finish.
    I'm single-sourcing my manual from Word into RoboHelp to generate an online help package. However, I do not want my RoboHelp headings to be numbered because the user may or may not read each topic in order (in other words, they may only need to read what's in section 3.2, but won't get there by reading sections 1.0 through 3.1 first). I might also clarify that each heading is its own topic - so Section 3.2 would be a separate topic from 3.0 and 3.1.
    So for example, in Word, it reads like this:
         "1.0 Introduction
         [content goes here]
         1.1 System Requirements
         [content goes here]
         1.2 References
         [content goes here]"
    And in RoboHelp, I want it like this
         "Introduction
         [content goes here]"
         ---[end of topic]---
         "System Requirements
         [content goes here]"
         ---[end of topic]---
         "References
         [content goes here]"
         ---[end of topic]---
    Does that make sense?
    So how do I keep the numbering in my Word document, but set up the Conversion Settings in RoboHelp to ignore those numbers and only include the text following the autonumber? I have been able to do this when single-sourcing a FrameMaker book into RoboHelp.

  • "Option's value is unacceptab​le" while configurin​g the sync settings for Outlook

    Hello
    I was wondering if someone could please help me with this error message:
    "Option's value is unacceptable. Please check option properties"
    I receive this message when trying to configure synchronization settings for Microsoft Outlook 2007 in Desktop Manager 5.0.1.
    It does not matter whether I select Calendar, MemoPad, Address book or Tasks I get this error message.
    I am aware that there is a BTSC article on this problem which simply states the IMAP Profile is corrupt. I have only had this problem since moving to Windows 7 from Vista. When moving to 7 I copied across my PST files. Outlook reads them fine but DM is throwing a hissy fit. I used the Microsoft Outlook PST repair tool and that fixed some errors in the file but DM still wouldn’t read it. I have also imported the PST file again into Outlook but no joy there.
    Interestingly I have also created a brand new PST file in outlook and DM still gave me the error message. I don’t see how a brand spanking new PST can be corrupt. This leads me to believe my current PSTs are OK and DM is the problem.
    I have tried uninstalling, restarting, and reinstalling DM and have also tried deleting the RIM folder in the roaming folder in AppData to no avail.
    I have Googled this issue and came across a few posts in this forum but couldn’t find anything that helped.
    If anyone has ANY suggestions that would be great. My calendars work fine on my computer through Outlook, the problem is without being able to sync them they are slowly getting more and more different!
    Thanks
    Cameron
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    What saddens me is that this problem still exists after 3-5 years of this problem first being introduced.  I have tried the above and several other options posted on BB Forum, all to no avail.  I have being enduring the inability to sync my BB and life together for nearly a year now.  Talk about frustration and aggravation in tryng to sync my Outlook and BB calendars manually.  I even went and upgraded my BB Curve 8330 to a BB Curve 9330, only to have the same problems when syncing.   
    But today I googled the internet once again to finally find the post that had the answers and resolved my issues! A TREMENDOUS THANK YOU to Matt Seitz and his live journal entry at http://seitz.livejournal.com/3593.html. 
    The following is from his post:
    Blackberry sync with Outlook fails if no mail account is configured
    It surprises me how software that is published by and widely used by major corporations can be so badly written.
    I recently tried installing Microsoft Outlook and RIM Blackberry Desktop Manager so that I could sync my Blackberry with my PC.  When I tried to configure the Blackberry Desktop Manager to sync with Outlook, I received a cryptic "Option's value is unacceptable" error message.  It would have been nice if the software told me which option, what the value was, and why that value was unacceptable. 
    After much searching, I finally came across an article from RIM that explained this was because my Outlook e'mail (MAPI) profile was invalid.  That was probably because I hadn't configured Outlook to access e'mail.  I use Yahoo! Mail's web (HTTP) interface and didn't want to use Outlook (or any other POP client) to access my mail.
    But apparently Desktop Manager requires that Outlook be configured with an email account, even if I don't plan to access email via Outlook.  So, I dutifully added my Yahoo Mail account to Outlook, and simply told Outlook to never access it.
    But that wasn't good enough.  I then received an error from Outlook:  "The operation failed. An object could not be found."  Once again, the error is cryptic.  What operation failed?  Which object was not found?
    A Microsoft article explained that the only cure for this error was to configure a whole new user profile in Outlook.  I did that, and finally my Blackberry would sync with Outlook.
    After creating a new user and linking it to an email, I too was able to finally sync my BB 8330 and my BB 9330 with Outlook.  Hallelujuh!!!

  • How to set tagged pdf settings for batch process

    Framemaker doesn't allow me to set tagged pdf settings without opening a file (i.e. *.mif/*.fm/*.book).We are using .MIF files to generate PDF in an automated process.( .MIF files will be sent to FrameMaker as a batch file using DZBATCHER then it it uses distiller to produce the PDF).
    How can I set tagged PDF settings for this kind of operation?

    Tagged PDF info is a document level property, i.e. you need to define it in the MIF. Check your MIF manual for: <DPDFStructure and <DPDFStructureDefined statements.
    Note: If you're using any FM version earlier that FM9 and not the FrameServer version, please read your EULA very carefully (Section 2.2 - 2.4) concerning automated creation of PDF files. With FM9, the restriction apparently has been loosened to only how the process is intiated (Section 2.3).

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does not then the problem lies with your original library.
    If that's the case try the following on your original library:
    If you have the space available on your hard drive and don't aready have a backup copy of the library make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Commadn+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
