Suggestion for CS7 - Intelligent panning

Here's a feature request for Adobe Photoshop CS7. Intelligent Panning. Wouldn't it be nice if you could customize a panning radius so that while zoomed in on your work, if you move the cursor near the edge of the specified radius, it would intelligently (slower based on the zoom level) pan the image in the direction of your brush stroke. This way you could do detailed strokes in one movement rather than being forced to do them in several and try to get them lined up correctly. You could specify both an inner and outer radius and once you brush leaves the inner radius the screen would pan. Would be a really nice feature.

Well, if you have an inner and outer radius, then the canvas would always keep the center of your brush in view so you wouldn't loose track of the brush at all, the canvas would simply move with it. It would be more akin to holding a pen in one place on a piece of paper and then simply moving the paper to draw the line you want. In fact, on top of an inner and outer radius, if you could customize the pan speed that would also be really helpful.

How to make suggestion for improvements in LR

How do I make suggestions for new features or improvements in LR?
The stacking function, IMO, needs to be improved. The time between shots does not take into account the length of exposure. For example if my exposure is 5 seconds the stacking exposure will not add the two exposures together in the time setting < 4 seconds.
Ideally I would like to see an HDR stacking function, looks at time between exposures (taking into account the length of exposure) and changes in exposure.
ideally there would be similar options for pans and focus stacking.
Thanks

Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative to iCal that will interface with the Cloud? I find iCal to be poorly designed and not very efficient.

Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative to iCal that will interface with the Cloud so it works on the iPhone and the Macbook? I find iCal to be poorly designed and not very efficient. I waste a lot of time entering information because you can't go to a specific day and enter information, nor can you navigate between months and add information on a specific date by clicking on the date. You can't easily scroll month-to-month and once you do by scrolling through nine months to get to where you want to be, you cannot enter information by clicking on a specific day in the month and entering information. I just called Apple and they verified that this is the way it works. You cannot go to a date and enter information, you keep getting thrown back to today and then you have to go into the calendar and change it manually on the screen. It is just not efficient.

Need suggestions for a new printer with OS 10.9.5

I have a 2010 HP 6500 A Plus printer that has worked well with my iMac circa 2010. Printer is not feeding paper. It won't scan. Are there suggestions for a new compatible printer for OS 10.9.5.?

Hey Debbisita,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are experiencing issues with your Printer and OS X. Before opting to purchase a new printer, you can try these troubleshooting steps to completely isolate the issue:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/ts3147
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Suggestions For Lightroom

The first change Adobe should make for the improvement of Lightroom is this Forum. I personally find this forum extremely difficult to navigate. It's cluttered, difficult to read and seemingly archaic compared to the Apple Forums.
Here are my others suggestions for Lightroom:
-Allow the ability to select Quick Collection images and Delete them from the disk not just Remove them from the quick collection. The benefit here would be that we could select images from several different folders that might be of the same subject/situation that had been loaded at a different time but still are similar images to others in the collection. This would allow us to clean up redundant images from any number of different folders. Presently when we select Quick Collection images and hit delete it just removes them from the Quick collection leaving them on the hard drive. I want an option to get rid of them from the hard drive.
-When trying to move images from bottom of a gallery to the top of a gallery and there are hundreds of images, grabbing the ones to move up, when getting to the edge of the gallery, the gallery doesnt move consistently.
-When in the compare mode it would be nice to have the file name below each image in the bar that contains the Star rating and pick or reject flag.
-When in the survey mode it would be helpful to differentiate the X & / more effectively. Why not highlight the X in Red and leave the / the color that it is.
-Include a Preference option that allows us to always have the Spell Check enabled when a catalog is opened. Presently you have to continually remember to turn this feature on each time a catalog is opened.
-Spell check does not ignore when I select the Ignore option. Seems to be a bug
-When I select Check Spelling it comes up with the spell check box, up comes the suspect word. I click ignore and nothing happens, I select Next and nothing happens. Bug?
-Would be nice if P-Picks and X-Rejects could be toggled on and off with the corresponding key.
-when loading images from a camera card you have the option to have it load to folders. Presently it loads images to folders, dating those folders by the day the images were shot. It would be nice to be able to tell the loading procedure to create folders by the day images are imported.
-When loading images from camera card you can select a secondary destination. I would like to see the secondary destination look identical to the first destination. Not something completely different as it is now.
-When using the sequential numbering optin for renaming files on import, the last number in the sequence should be remembered by lightroom and the next import should take off where the last import ended. Photo Mechanic works like this as well as Nikon View and Picture Project.
-Is there a way to see more than one line of the caption in the Grid/thumbnail mode? If not that would be beneficial.
-When you select flags and rejects are hidden or shown, currently the grid view goes back to the top of the file/grid. It would be nice if the grid view would stay at the current selection
-would be nice if during the input of captions, while in the minimal Metadata mode, that the main Metadata window would scroll down as you type a long caption. Presently when a caption goes beyond the window at the bottom of the Metadata pane you have to stop and scroll the Metadata/caption pane down to see what you are typing.
-I change metadata in MS Expression and tell it to synch with original NEF. It does which you can see by taking the same image into Photoshop and looking at the metadata there. However, the same metadata does not synch in Lightroom even though I have save to XMP enabled..
-Bug? Going from Grid view to D-Develop. Adjust the exposure and Lightroom hangs up. Have to Force Quit LR to get it back.

Six changes that would be basic improvements - sorry if these look like bug reports, but they have lasted through all the updates and upgrades and I consider them to be overripe for improvement.
For mouse-heavy users it would be helpful to have a Grid icon in the toolbar in the Develop module, the same as appears in the Library module.
The consistency of having a Done button in all places that present a secondary work screen would make leaving those screens simpler.
When organizing folders, keeping the focus local after a Delete would be good, instead of the focus jumping up to a higher level as it does, requiring a search for your location. If you're making a lot of changes this can be time-consuming and frustrating. I know some other program do this, but not all and it's solvable.
When moving a folder of files, the last file doesn't get moved and could wind up in some random place if you don't suspect this and go after it to move it by itself. This seems to be unique to Lightroom.
In leaving Compare, it's not clear which image you're keeping because the filename isn't visible, only the rating (if used). Changing the rating to exit can disable the Done button. To get it back it shouldn't be necessary to swap the images. Why not use a more standard release action like the Escape key?
In LR 3.3, when using the noise reduction slider the option to update the whole filmstrip to use version 2010 is available only if the demonstration "compare" screen is retained with a box checked. If you uncheck that box, there's no way to get that screen back the next time, so the option to update to 2010 for the whole filmstrip at once is gone and subsequently requires one-by-one clicking to update. This could be simpler and faster.
I use LR every day and teach it, but I may have missed something so forgive my naming ills that have already been mentioned. Thanks for listening. DKD

Suggestions for replacing out port vi

I am working at replacing an old computer with a new 64 bit/Windows 7. Problem is that I can no longer use the Out port vi and wondering if there is any simple way to go about this without having to redesign the complete tester. Any suggestions for parallel port communication would be great. I currently use RS232, the parallel port and PCI cards for GPIB and RS232 on the old computer that I am trying to upgrade the system.
I appreciate any suggestions you may have!!

I concur with Dennis. I have used DIO boards of different types to simulate everything from parallel printer ports to microprocessor buses.
The key to minimizing impact is to write driver VIs for whatever hardware that you end up with that are drop in replacements for old VIs.
By that I mean that they not only need to have matching connector panes and terminals, but also perform the same function logically.
How fast does the program need to be able to update the output? The answer to that question will tell you how fast (and expensive) a board you will need.

What security products are suggested for scrubbing rootkits from a Mac? There are good articles on similar repair for PCs and it makes me want to see if I can save this machine. It's in forensic recovery right now so I myself have not done anything yet.

What security products are suggested for scrubbing rootkits from a Mac? There are good articles on similar repairs for other makes online. I would like to investigate whether a machine can be truly scrubbed or if it's best to retire it. I haven't done anything yet as it is a candidate for more extensive forensic recovery.
Also, I am not sure if various malicious spoofing and cloaking tricks (making Wi-Fi appear off when it is on, hiding unauthorized sharing/remote access, falsifying System Preferences preference panes, etc.) are resolved by a thorough drive erase or are more similar to APTs?
Finally, is there any emerging information regarding APT hiding places other than the recovery partition? I have heard mention of the EFI, for example, but it seems unproven and unlikely. Some people have also mentioned the RAM.
This is an upsetting topic to some people, including me, so I appreciate circumspect, measured responses. Thanks! And don't try to answer all my questions if you really just want to comment or answer one. All thoughts are appreciated.

Hi, Lincoln,
A straightforward question. You are correct in recognizing the difference between tentative conclusion and certainty. Here are our main reasons:
1. Incoming items noted on the console (or console sub logs) and Activity Monitor after defenses are overcome, and which are brought in by an unwelcome remote user, often have a process name and the word "kit." (Bear with me.) We soon observe the process is under attack, from terminal evidence and soon, decreased or lost functionality of the process. The terminal generally reports alteration of specific kernel behaviors. A simple example (that may or may not be accompanied by kernel changes and may simply alter permissions) is modifying Disk Utility such that key uses are unavailable. You can see how an attacker might value disabling partition views, mounting and permission repair. In retrospect, DU might not be a root alteration. I was thinking that its relation to fsck flagged it as a possible ring 0 item. I may need to know core parameters of a good example to pick strong ones.
2. Incoming folders hidden for possible later use contained bundles of similar root kits, including some not applicable to Macs. From what I have read from reasonably credible sources, root kits are sold and traded both singly and in bundles.
3. Root kits are a logical next choice for our attackers, as various prior techniques hindered us but did not paralyze us.
4. One of the most authoritative articles I found was about PCs not Macs. I noted the assertion, undocumented, that an estimated one million computers are infected by root kit manipulations, and underscored that the kits can be used by people with low computer skills.
5. MacAfee lists root kits (by description, not name) as a top pop five threat prediction in the coming year, though again, the emphasis is on PCs.
Linc, I am trying to show a spectrum of observations and info that have shaped my thinking. To retrieve better captured evidence requires significant legwork at this time, but it is something I am willing to do if you can be patient. Understand this long attack has been like a natural disaster to us.
I have not linked a few articles of interest because I forget if that's allowed. If so, I'd be glad to.
After reviewing this partial answer, you may form another hypothesis. If so, please share it. I am comfortable with my position but not clinging to it.
Thanks for your interest. Looking forward to your thoughts.
Oh, yeah: some material is out for analysis, so we should have credible opinions pretty soon. Not positive exactly when.

Bluetooth earpiece suggestions for LG Accolade. Never used bluetooth before.

I have an LG Accolade VX-5600 that I have been using a wired headset with. I'm thinking of using a bluetooth earpiece with it but I am not at all familar with bluetooth. According to the details for the Accolade on PhoneScoop it says Supported Profiles: HSP 1.1, HFP 1.5, OPP, PBA version 2.1+EDR. I don't know what any of that means.
I don't really need a fancy one, and I don't want to spend more more than $20, and I'm willing to buy a used one on eBay or Bonanza. Are there any brands to avoid or suggestions for a model that would meet my needs?

I really like the Logitech mice. I had a Microsoft BT mouse and a Belkin one, and I got rid of them both because of flakey behavior and went for a Logitech. Works great. I'm using the MX900, there are newer models out there now, I believe.
I have an Apple BT keyboard, and I like it a lot. I think on keyboards the choice is a bit broader, because the "performance" of a keyboard is a lot harder to get wrong. They either work or they don't. Logitech, Microsoft, Belkin all have Bluetooth keyboards, and they should work with the Mac for the most part, but it's a good idea to check first.
One thing you'll lose by not buying Apple peripherals is the battery level meter on the preferences pane. I can tell where my Apple keyboard's battery is, but not the Logitech mouse. I wanted two mouse buttons, though, so I went with the Logitech.

Suggestions for the interactive guide

I have been using FIOS TV service now for several months, and seen several iterations of the guide come through. I have a number of issues I would like to suggest for improvements.
First a suggestion about DVR and show recording. I have 2 DVRs, as we record a lot of TV and need the 4 tuners. I love that I can access recordings from either DVR as I want. However, it would be really great if I could just have a single schedule of shows set to record and let the two DVR's figure out what should record where based on the availability of tuners in the DVR's which would not produce conflicts.
I essentially need to put together my own matrix in order to figure out what set to record on which DVR based on when shows air. It would be great if the DVRs could talk to each other and intelligently figure out where to record.
A big issue I have encountered is that sometimes only part of a show will record. The biggest issue has been because for whatever reason, CBS's "Person of Interest" has only recorded 30 minutes of the show, and only the latter 30 minutes. There was no indication on the scheduled recordings view that the show would only partially record, it just showed that it would record. For most shows at least, they will either re-air the show, or I can get caught up on one of several streaming services. This is the only show that is not available as a re-run or on ANY streaming service.
If a show is going to only partially record, it should be clearly indicated, and it actually should just not record - it should show to me that there is an issue or conflict with another show recording into the 1st half of this show which would prevent a full recording. This is a huge bug in the recording logic that should be fixed.
From the menu guides, I would really like the option to set the default menu starting point. I do not way ANY pay preview, or pay for any on demand content. I have never done that with any TV provider I have had, and I don't plan to start now, the fact that the menu always defaults to searching on demand is annoying.
The entire menu experience feels not as if its designed to allow me to easily or quickly navigate and make the changes or selections I want, but instead it constantly wants me to basically buy a movie or TV show. There are plenty of ways to design an interface which allows you to promote your pay services and also allow me to get into the areas of the menu I need in an intuitive manner.
I do like that the DVR remembers some of my recent searches, a nice feature. It would be great for homes with multiple DVRs to allow the DVR's to act more as a "single unit" and share that information between the units so I don't have to go figuring out which DVR I previously searched for something. The search menu should also allow you to set some basic filters - when I go into search, 99% of the time I am going to search for something specific - the title of a movie or TV show. The search results should show me just that, I don't need to see actors or all the other options when I search by default - I should be able to go into advanced search to get broader or complex with what I am searching for. I should also be able to turn off searching in certain areas - like pay-per-view or on-demand options.
P.S. - the spell check component of the post message feature should really have "FIOS" and "DVR" in the dictionary.

Hello,

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works. Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up. Try them again.
Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp. Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp. Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.
Kep trying.

is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress itunes doesn't recognize the feed.
my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/methods):
garageband : create & edit audio. add 1400x1400 image.
share to itunes.
drag file to desktop.
upload .m4a file to google drive.
create a link post in wordpress using "podcast" tag & create "podcast" category.
click on "entries rss" in wordpress, which takes me to the rss subscribe page (which is basically just my wordpress address with "/feed" at the end.
i copy this url.
go to itunes store > then "submit a podcast"
itunes gives me the error message "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
when i try to subscribe to my podcast in itunes, it does, but gives me no episodes available.
i went back into wordpress and changed settings/ reading settings to : "full text" from "summary"
still the same error message.
i added a feedburner step after wordpress but got the same errors. i don't think i should have to add feedburner.
wordpress seems to be encapsulating the rss, what am i doing wrong?
this so much easier when you could go directly from garage band to iweb to mobileme; i miss those apple days (also idisk).

if anyone has a super EASY process, i would LOVE to know what it is. EASY, meaning no html and also free. there are many free online storage systems available, many of which i currently use. the above process was just me trying to figure it out, if you have an easier method, please share. thank you so much!

Drive setup suggestion for multiple users editing simultaneously?

At work here, a city college, not a professional company or broadcast studio, so resources are limited, we often have three people editing HDV content simultaneously in Final Cut Pro.
Keeping the content on our multiple backup servers, there's simply too much network traffic to do this smoothly.
Instead of keeping projects locally spread across multiple machines, I would like one centralized place for everything, for the Macs to access directly over gigabit or something else.
So, what kind of setup do you guys suggest for this?
The machines here are two quad-core G5s (no RAID or fiber-channel right now), and a Core2Duo iMac, F400 only.
Again, it'd need to be able to handle three HDV projects going on simultaneously without skipping due to having to seek back and forth all over the drive.
Thanks.

Yes, an XSan system would perfectly fit the bill for what you want to do, but an XSAN is not a cheap solution. When it is all said and done, it will cost you tens of thousands of dollars.
The best, cheap solution would be to use Firewire drives. I would not duplicate a project onto three drives, because you will then always be trying to figure out which version is the most current. Instead, keep all of your project, capture scratch and render files on the firewire drives. Then move the drive to whichever computer you want to do the editing on.
Properly log & capture all your footage, then archive all your project files, because Firewire hard drives will fail over time, loosing all the info on the discs. I did say this was the cheap solution. "Cheap" does have its costs…

Suggestions for setting up external storage for video editing please?

I am just starting up as a one-man video-editing business, using a 24 inch iMac running Snow Leopard, with Final Cut Studio. I have realised I'll need an external hard drive for HD footage, and I also need to get some back-up solution in place. Looking for speedy i/o, I would like to connect via the ethernet port (if only eSata was included in the iMac, eh!)
I've been planning to get a Drobo, but looking around the forums I see that people say it's too slow for using as a working drive to keep all my source footage, so I've been looking at the G-tech 4 Tb, as it says it is designed for media-content production. Does anyone know if I could use two of the drives for working from and two as back up? Or would it be better to keep back-up entirely seperate, and get a Drobo for that for the G-tech to back up to?
But I am also wondering whether a Mac Mini could be a worthwhile addition to this set up? I find myself sitting around waiting for rendering to complete on clips in my timeline (not to mention exporting to Quicktime conversion!), and I wondered if I put a Mac mini with Xserve installed (Apple store offers this with two 500gb hard drives inside), maybe I could farm the rendering out to the mini while I get on with editing on my iMac? That would require two installations of FCP, which I thought was allowed, but just today in a forum I saw that one would have to be a laptop... anyone have any suggestions for getting rendering done without stopping FCP from doing other things simultaneously?
Also I don't know if that arrangement is even feasible... I see all these things like Xsan and Artbox... as a one workstation editing suite, does FCP handle all the dataflows for external working drive and external back ups okay without having to introduce more controllers?
And can anyone explain to me how I could set up an ethernet connection to an external hard drive, or does that require the extra controllers mentioned above? I've seen it said that you can do it via ethernet, but haven't seen how you can actually go about doing it.
Thanks for overlooking my newbie quality, any answers received with humble gratitude!
Cheers, Syd

Hi there,
as NLEdit said, there will be loads of answers to this.
IMO i'd avoid drobo like the plague. G tech drives have served me incredibly well working on a huge variety of broadcast projects (just over the water from you in Bristol), I've had no probs with FW800 when using DVCproHD, pro res is ok, sometimes a little slow with multiple layers and of course it eats up storage space. so I'd go for 2 4tb drives, keep the backup one in a different location.
one tip that has saved me countless times is to format them as follows:-
mac os extended (not journalled)
create 2 partitions
partition 1 - make this small (1gig) and call it "drive a - do not use"
partition 2 - the rest of available storage and call "drive a"
this is because the boot sector of the drive is within the first partition and with this method if it goes down it can be re erased without losing all your footage.
If you call your backup drive the exact same name and have the exact same folder structure, you will not have to relink if you get a problem.
Ignore getting a mac mini for rendering, won't help at all in FCP. instead I would make every attempt you can at buying a mac pro rather than an imac. much more expansion/speed possibilities and a more robust solution.
best of luck
Andy
