Some thoughts on new features and workarounds

Hey Gang,
I am a recent FCP7 convert, actually used to use PPro up unitl 2005. A couple things have really bugged me and I think that these requests may be helpful to some of you or perhaps you know an easy workaround.
One thing that is annoying is the lack of "Apple" keystrokes in the MacOS version. For isntance when trying to select multiple clips with the selection tool I am unable to hold down the Apple key to add additional clips to my selection.
Secondly, we should have the option to when using paste attributes, to select what attributes we want to paste. I like going through a project adjusting volume throughought and then applying color correction. Many times I'll want a whole scene to use Magic Bullet Looks but I cannot copy and then "Paste Attributes" without changing all the audio as well. You can tell PPro what effects to remove but not to paste. Yes I can nest the sequence and apply the Magic Bullet Looks to the nested sequence, but that makes fine tuning additional clips more difficult.
Why am I not able to cut an effect from the Effects Controls window or even drag and drop it onto multiple selected clips? That's another one that doesn't make sense. Again if I am color correcting and many clips need the same correction. I suppose I could create a million presets for all these things, but I don't want to clutter up my effects menu.
In FCP I used to be able to rightclick a selected audio or video clip near an edit and find "Add Video/Audio Crossfade". Yes there is a shortcut for this but some times the dissovles show up on tracks that are highlighted on the left. This is another funny Premiere thing that I guess I'll get used to, but I am not sure why I need to highight the clip and the track when all I want to do is apply something to that clip?
I won't even get into the stereo/mono track situation. That seems to have been covered all over the place.
Just my 2 cents as I sit here editing away! Your thoughts?

Please be sure to submit these feature requests where the right folks will be certain to see them:

Just downloaded Firefox 4. Running Windows XP. Some of the new features are mising such as the new "Firefox Button" and the new location for the bookmarks button. The look is almost like Firefox 3. Why is this happening?

Hi. I just downloaded Firefox 4. Some of the new features are missing such as the new "Firefox Button" and the new location for the bookmarks button. It almost looks just like Firefox 3. I am using Windows XP on this desktop computer. On my laptop, running Windows Vista, Firefox 4 has all the updates advertised. Why is this happening? How do I fix?
Thanks

Thanks so much!

Some of the new features of iPhoto 8 (09)

The following are some of the new features of iPhoto 8 that are not publicized on the Apple iPHoto site:
1 - iPhoto 8 now will open directly the library that you double click on instead of opening the last opened library.
2 - it has a new option in the rebuild window, *Rebuild Library Database from automatic backup*. With luck that might just make the need for my Automator workflow to backup the Library6.iPhoto database file obsolete. Let's hope so.
3 - all MobileMe galleries published will automatically be included in all iPhoto Libraries.
4 - when you move your cursor over a thumbnail image there is a small "i" in the lower right hand corner that, when clicked on, opens the Info window for that photo. There you can assign a location via Google.
5 - upon launching iPhoto with the Option key depressed a window will open that will list all iPhoto libraries on your boot drive and all connected HDs except that used for Time Machine. It will also list any folder containing a Library6.iPhoto file. So if you have a backup copy of the dB file in a folder somewhere on your HD that folder will be displayed in the list of available libraries to open.
As a general note I've found that iPhoto Library Manager will work with iPhoto 8 (09) as far as selecting the library to open. I haven't tested the copy, merge or rebuild features as yet.
That's about I've come across in the short time I've been experimenting with it. *By far the best new feature IMO is No.2 above.*
OT

Did you mean to put this one in the iPhoto forum?

i have found it:
'Forms version 11 is planned to be part of Oracle Application server version 11, which is planned in 12-15 months, which means summer 2007. Forms will not participate in the 10.1.3 platform, so the version 11 will be the first after the current 10.1.2 line.'

Some of the newer shows and movies on my IPAD 2 show "cannot open content not authorized"

All of my library plays on my MAC and Apple TV, but some of the newer shows and movies on my IPAD 2 show "cannot open content not authorized" . If I download them directly to my IPAD they will play. iPad and MAC are all up to date. I have restarted the IPAD 2 and MAC multiple times.

I have the opposite issue. I play my tv shows and movies on itunes off my computer but all I get is the audio. The picture shows up in flashes every couple of times but does not stay on. I have the most recent Itunes (7.6.1)available and am running Windows Vista. Any help available?

Just upgraded iWeb app to version 3.0.4 from an iLife 11 disk. I like some of the newer features but it seems to have one glitch: when I upload the pages to my ftp server, the automatic navigation bar at the top of the page disappears. Any ideas?

Just upgraded my old iWeb app to version 3.0.4 from an iLife 11 disk. I like some of the newer features but it seems to have one glitch: when I upload the pages to my ftp server, the automatic navigation bar at the top of the page disappears. Any ideas? Thanks.

Looks like a couple scripts are missing:
If you republish the entire site iWeb should recreate these for you...
I don't use the built-in navigation. I usually just create my own:

Thoughts about the bin window - bugs or features and workarounds...

Hi there,
I really have big toubles using the bin window. It is even worse in OSX.5 (the only thing I don't like with OSX.5 and Logic8!).
There are some Problems:
1. I can't move any audio-files to wherever I want them to without Logic is copying them back into the audio-folder by saving the song. The problem is that I want Logic to copy imported audio files into the audio-folder but if I change something manually Logic should remember that without working against me. So for example: I am bouncing a lot of audio into the bounce folder. In Logic 7 all the finished bounces were located there on the hard drive. Easy to find and to organize. But in Logic 8 they are moved to the audio-folder and I have to search very carefully which files I want to send to my client. That's the biggest source of trouble for me right now.
2. If I am making groups, Logic is sometimes copying even that audio-files back into the normal audio-folder. The problem here is: sometimes. I really have no idea what the problem is. Sometimes just some audiofiles are staying in the group (on the hd) for a couple of Logic-saves and then are moved back at the 10th save or something.
3. I am not able to organize my groups and audio files very well. So if I have group that always is shown on top of the bin window and I have a audio-bounce called "zoo" it is the last one in the list. Then I have to move it the whole way up to the group. That costs me about a half our per day. Way too much. There should be some kind of easier handling. For example a second window for groups or something. The next one is that I have to call the group something like 001AASFX or ZZZ_SFX so that I am able to find it fast enough in the finder. It was so much easier to go the bounce folder in Logic 7 days.
4. The hide-regions keycommand was unstable with OSX.4.10 but now with OSX.5 it is not working at all. If I choose a audiofile in the bin window and hit the standard keycommand for hiding regions just the region for that audiofile is hiding and instantly shown again. I want to have a shorter way to move my bounced files into the group that is the whole way up to the list's beginning.
So I wonder if that are new features or if it is really buggy. I am not able to work with that structure right now and with that kind of unstable location behavior. Are there any workarounds, tips, tricks? Is there anyone who feels like me? May I hope for a update?
That's it

Hey Jim,
thanks for the support. Seems to be something Apple has to work on. There are some posts and questions about the bin window in every forum I know but there is never a "this is not want we want and there are bugs" - thread. In fact the whole Logic 8 structure with the one-window-gui is great and works much better than I expected. So it is no general "what the **** are they doing"-thing
Nevertheless, is there a way to get this to apple? I don't know if they are aware of these problems and perhaps the testers are making music with one bounce and that's it. Just one file is not that difficult to handle, organize and to find. But there are other users working in different ways (like us I think).
@ David: I am sorry but you are wasting time and thread-space. If you don't say anything if you do not feel comfortable nothing will change. You are not able to let it rain in Austria (yet) but there are real guys working at apple and it's not a kind of wonder that there is logic at all. So am trying to discuss here something and hope for any reaction or attention and don't need any "go deeply into your self and you will find a way"-stuff. Thanks anyway to bring god back to that forum.

InDesign CC 2014 tryout has only some new features and some others are old: strangest thing ever.

Hi everyone, I have installed a tryout on InDesign CC 2014 today to work on epubs. The app is having all sort of problems. It crashed while making packages. I resetted the prefs and this was fixed.
But the most annoying and strange things are the new features: some are showing (like the export fixed layout epub option), others are not (interactivity menu is exactly the old one, bookmarks options in export panel are not showing).
I had uninstalled it and installed again. It is still not working. I work on an iMac with sys 10.9.5 (Yosemite).
I need to keep the old version running for compatibility issues. I can't delete it.
I am stuck: any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

For example: I have the "export fixed layout epub" (which I do not have in InDesign CC) , but I do not have the bookmarks option in the export panel. I still see SWF preview, but not the epub interactivity menu under -> view -> interactivity. To be more precise: I am following a Lynda.com course about epub: I'm not guessing what to look for or what button to click. I have to follow very careful instruction step-by-step that I can't follow because the program miss some parts.
I attach an image to better explain. It's in italian, but if you just count the options you will see that one is missing: the bookmark (and last) one.

New Features and Improvements for CS6

IMPORTANT:
By default, Photoshop comes with the Proofing Colors (Cmd/Ctrl+Y) activated and set to CMYK. Adobe must warn about that, because I was editing a large amount of pictures for work and I was doing it under that color profile/work space.
LAYERS PANEL:
Layer Adjustments:
Solid Color: visual feedback in real time.
Gradient: IDEM as above.
Pattern: IDEM as above.
Gradient Map: IDEM as above.
Gradient Editor: IDEM as above.
Opacity and Fill: IDEM as above.
Curves and Levels: Ability to load alfa channels. This way, the adjustments made on the alfa channel won't be destructive.
CHANNELS PANEL:
Channel Luminosity Selection:
Ability to add and subtract from the selection.
Ability to designate an area to be selected.
For point 1, by using the shortcut Cmd+Alt+[number] the luminosity of a channel is loaded as selection. With Cmd+Alt+Shift+[number], the selection grows. But there is no way to subtract from selection (unless by clicking with the mouse on the channel's thumbnail). I think that can be solved by using Cmd+Alt+Shift+[- or +] in order to subtract or add from selection.
Point 2 maybe even more important than point 1, because it allows selecting a designated area by the user, instead of the default luminosity selection, which ranges from 50% of the mid tones to the highlights (or shadows, if the selection is inverted). The user should be allowed to select the starting and finishing points of the luminosity selection.
I thought 2 ways for solving these issues (and making it more intuitive and faster):
A) By using the Histogram Panel, by dragging and highlighting an area on it, that it should load the selected luminosity pixels as a selection, as shown in figure 1:
figure 1
So the result of doing that will be a selection based on the area of the histogram that have been highlighted.
B) By creating a new Adjustment Layer:
It can be based in the same structure of the HUE Adjustment Layer, like figure 2 shows:
Figure 2
Or it can be this way (much better). Figure 3:
Figure 3
The selection can also be controlled by using the Click and Drag as suggested in the figure 1, as shown in the figure 4:
Figure 4
The overlaid highlighting over the histogram can be functional or just a mere graphic representation of the Range and Fade Selector. The "Fading" areas should be also be draggable in order to increase smooth the selection. However, the smoothing can be much better done with the Refining Selection tool and it can be ignored from this new tool.
In any of these cases, the adjustments should give real time feedback when growing or shrinking selection; we must see the selection going bigger or smaller and also, the highlighted area should be draggable as well.
TOOLS PANEL:
Brush: detect edges while painting on masks (for manual mask refining. It would work similar to the Replace Color Brush, but only for masks and alfa channels). It also needs a shortcut to set the opacity.
Dodge & Burn: Protect Tones should be allowed when painting on masks or alfa channels (for manual mask refining). D&B can also use edge detection as well.
FILTERS:
Some of them, like the ones involving Blur or the High-Pass and the Unsharp Mask filter, should work in real time (these ones, at the least).
It can also added a Particle Generator Filter.
It would be really nice having the ability to create particles such as dust, fog, rain, snow, etc in a more realistic manner than just the scattering function from the Brush Palette, or by mixing different filters with different blends. The Particle Generator should have an slider to control the depth of field, so it will give a feeling of depth and also, a way to load masks, so that way, the particles can exists before the image and also, behind. It would be great for creating a nice feeling of depth (kind of a bokeh effect).
I've been playing with After Effect few times, and the way to create shapes and forms from nothing is the way of easier than in Photoshop.
TIME LINE:
I think it's time give dynamism the filters applied to a movie clip, and also, dynamics to the fade effects, like it happens in After Effects by adding Bezier Curves.
HISTOGRAM:
It should be possible to zoom in into the histogram, for a more precise feedback and analysis of the image tonal values.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
The fade tool should work in real time.
Loupe/Magnificator View:
This is very useful when it comes to edit and image in detail, with a lot of zoom, like 3200%. Unfortunately, Photoshop doesn't provide a real time feedback in an additional window, such as the Window/Arrange/New Window For […].
It would be really useful having a window showing the image at fit on the screen while working on the other window at 100% or 3200% of zoom, but in real time. This way, you can see if you're doing a good job on the pixels or, if you're overdoing it.
It happens that, when working with big images at 100% of the image size (or more), the brain cannot figure out how is looking the whole image, so having a realtime feedback in the other window would help a lot for detailled work.
And why not, ading the same real time structure descrived above but to the Navigator, for faster and lighter use of the hardware capabilities. Probably, adding a check box to the navigator that blocks it to a given zoom, so when zooming into the image in the navigator, the image shown in the window isn't magnified too.
Give me a chance to show you some examples of what I have done by improvising particles and fog about 5 years ago:
http://mart1980.deviantart.com/gallery/5027033#/d1m119x
And what I did 7 years ago by manually, selecting different shades of gray and using just Levels for 8 hours (which coule be done faster and easier with another tool I thought, which I will post later):
I cannot post examples of the other features I'm suggesting because there are not such new features yet (I would have to create an hipothetical enviroment, but I think, you can fiure it out in your mind).
Unfortunately, I don't know programing, even though, I tried something with Filter Factory, achieving good results, but that pluging consumes too much resources and/or is bad designed/have not the right tools for certain things.
Hope this post is enough worthy of the Adobe's attention.
Thanks,
Ø³

This is a poorly explained reason about why is so important having a loupe in Photoshop. I've not also, used the best example, but I will. This belongs to the ADDITIONAL FEATURES: Loupe/Magnificator View:. Also, I will try to make my english clrearer, but here it goes:

I upgraded to the ios 5 today, but it dosent seem to have given me any new features and i didnt/wasnt asked to perform a setup? any help?

so i upgraded my iphone to the new ios 5, and for some reason i dont have any new features, no imessages or anything. it didnt ask me to set anything up, is there a way i can fix this?

iOS5 has not been officially released yet so it's anyone's guess what you actually installed...
Have you checked the OS version number on the phone itself?

New Features and New Bits on the way

I have the pleasure of sharing some really big news with the community. The teams behind the FlexUnit and Fluint projects have worked together to produce a new version of the FlexUnit framework that combines the best of both of these frameworks.
The new version provides all of the features currently available in both of these frameworks. Further, it is fully backwards compatible with both FlexUnit and Fluint tests, so your existing tests from either of these sources can be run without change. In addition, the new framework provides a cadre of long requested features, including:
• Metadata based Test and Suite identification (no more need to extend testcase or testsuite)
• Hamcrest matchers courtesy of the hamcrest-as3 project.
      More Info:
      • Hamcrest AS3: http://github.com/drewbourne/hamcrest-as3/tree/master
      • Hamcrest: http://code.google.com/p/hamcrest/
      • Hamcrest Tutorial for Java: http://code.google.com/p/hamcrest/wiki/Tutorial
      • Hamcrest Tutorial for PHP: http://sebastian-bergmann.de/archives/735-Getting-Started-with-Hamcrest.html
•Theories, DataPoints and Assumptions
      More Info:
      • http://shareandenjoy.saff.net/tdd-specifications.pdf
• Ignorable tests
• Enhanced Sorting and Filtering
• Enhanced multiple asynchronous support for any portion of the test setup/teardown or execution
• UIComponent testing facade
And, perhaps coolest of all, a complete extensibility layer for others to write their own custom runners. This means that community projects such as Fluint, FUnit, FlexMonkey or ASUnit could plug into the framework directly to run mixed suites of tests from various frameworks.
There will be information posted in the next couple of days on where to find the bits for a public alpha.
I am excited to see where the community can take a framework built for extensibility and to watch this new platform evolve.
Cheers,
Labriola

My ios update did not load to my iPhone completely. I have some of the new features but not all of them.

I have some of the features but not all of them. It seems that the download did not complete.

Where are you looking for Siri voice selection? It should be in Settings/General/Siri. You must also choose a language that has a choice of voices. US English and Canadian English do, UK and Australian do not.
What do you see in Settings/Wallpapers & Brightness? You need to tap one of the 2 images to see the selections available.
As I said, it is impossible that the installation is incomplete; you just aren't finding the new features. If you want to reinstall anyway, upgrade iTunes on your computer to 11.1, then connect the phone using a USB cable directly to the computer (not a hub), click on the iPhone's name in iTunes, then click the Restore iPhone button.

How to get informed about new features and version...

Hello,
I used to get informed on skype when a new version is launched, but now I dont. I noticed it when I delete skype and re-install again from the site for a reason. Also I want to learn about the new features via e-mail. What should I do?
Regards

To manually check for new updates, you can click the Check Update option in the Help menu in the Skype software window. Then if there are new versions released and you want to know what new features are added in that release, you can check the Skype Blog's Garage section -
