Trying Lightroom trial; two questions?

Sorry if these have been answered. I searched but maybe didn't use the right set of search words.
I just imported a directory with subdirectories, 3000 pics, into my Lightroom trial. Sometimes I use the finder to change file names or move them. Not the smartest thing when using Lightroom, I know, but I seem to fall into doing it fairly often. It worked out in Bridge because it was a browser.
Can the folders and files (if renamed) be refreshed if changes are made outside Lightroom?
I like to save a copy of my Master photo. Even though I think the changes in Lightroom are non-destructive, can I save a master copy and another edited copy? I had to make a copy of the photo before using Camera Raw from Bridge. Possible to revert, I know, but then I would lose my edits. Would you make a separate folder to keep Master Copies?
Summarizing: can folders/files be refreshed from within Lightroom?
Can I save a Master copy and use a second copy for developing?
Whoops, one more question. Can I have a preview pane showing in Lightroom like in Bridge? I'm looking, but haven't found one yet.
Thanks in advance for advice!

Thanks Jeff. i was beginning to wonder if my questions were too basic to bother with ;-)
i did figure out how to use the compare feature as a preview.
Can you tell me how to refresh the folders and files from within lightroom, just in case I get the saving keywords problem figured out and can use the program at all.
I am having a major problem saving keywords to files as mentioned in another post. In fact am getting so frustrated I'm in the process of trying fusion so i can go back to ACDsee which was perfect for what I needed.
Very possibly lightroom and the like are more complicated than i need.
I appreciate your response.

If you didn't establish a rescue email address, you will need to call applecare support. Ask for account security to reset your security questions. After the advisor is able to verify your identity, they can reset your security questions.

I am trying to download a Lightroom trial?

I am trying to download a Lightroom trial but the product won't show up under 'apps' in Creative Cloud, which I have dowloaded. I also have an Adobe ID. How do I download Lightroom?

If apps don't show up, your system may not meet the requirements. Check them:

Just for clarity, "we" haven't taken your money - this is a user-to-user forum, and you're not talking to Adobe.
Like Rob I'm a Windows user, and - like him - I thought "uninstalling" on Macs was simply a case of trashing the application. Google would seem to concur.
Not really a Lightroom/Adobe issue, then?

Printing, Soft Proofing & Color Management in LR 1.2: Two Questions

Printing, Soft Proofing, and Color Management in LR 1.2: Two Questions
There are 2 common ways to set color management in Adobe CS2:
1. use managed by printer setting or,
2. use managed by Adobe CS2 program.
I want to ask how Color Management for Adobe LR 1.2 differs from that in CS2?
As is well known, Color Management by printer requires accurate printer profiles including specific model printer, types of ink and specific paper. It is clear that this seems to work well for LR 1.2 when using the Printer module.
Now lets consider what happens one tries to use Color Management by Adobe LR 1.2. Again, as is well known, Color Management by printer must be turned off so that only one Color Management system is used. It has been my experience that LR 1.2 cant Color Manage my images correctly. Perhaps someone with more experience can state whether this is true or what I might be doing to invalidate LR 1.2 Color Management.
Specifically, I cant use Soft Proofing to see how my images are changed on my monitor when I try to use the edit functions in LR 1.2. Martin Evening states in his text, The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book that it is not possible to display the results of the rendered choices (Perceptual or Relative) on the display monitor. While it is not clear in Evenings text if this applies to LR 1.2, my experience would suggest that it still applies to the 1.2 update even though the publication date of his book preceded this update.
Can someone with specific knowledge of Adobe LR 1.2 confirm that Color Management and Soft Proofing with LR 1.2 hasnt been implemented at the present.

Thanks,
Hersch Pilloff

Hersch,
since just like me, you're a physicist (I am just a little further from retirement ;) ) I'll explain a little further. computer screens (whether they are CRT or LCD) are based on emission (or transmission) of three colors of light in specific (but different for every screen) shades of red, green, and blue. This light stimulates the receptors in your eye which are sensitive to certain but different bands of red, green and blue as the display emits, making your brain think it sees a certain color instead of a mix of red green and blue. Printers however, produce color by modifying the reflection of the paper by absorbing light. Their color mixing operates completely differently than displays. When you throw all colors of ink on the paper, you get black (the mixing is said to be subtractive) instead of white as you get in displays (the mixing there is additive). The consequence of this is that in the absence of an infinite number of inks you cannot produce all the colors you can display on a monitor using a printer and vice versa. This can be easily seen if you compare a display's profile to a printer profile in a program such as Colorsync utility (on every mac) or
Gamut vision. Typically printers cannot reproduce a very large region in the blue but most displays on the other hand cannot make saturated yellows and cyans.
Here is a flattened XY diagram of a few color spaces and a typical printer profile to illustrate this. Most displays are close to sRGB, but some expensive ones are close to adobeRGB, making the possible difference between print and screen even worse.
So, when the conversion to the printer's profile is made from your source file (which in Lightroom is in a variant of prophotoRGB), for a lot of colors, the color management routine in the computer software has to make an approximation (the choice of perceptual and relative colorimetric determine what sort of approximation is made). Soft proofing allows you to see the result of this approximation and to correct specific problems with it.

Two questions on SP1 and Vista booting

Hi all,
two questions:
1) did I understand correctly that if I want SP1 on my machine I have to install it manually, as it is not included in the automatic update routines?
2) my machine failed yesterday, I got a message "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause." The only thing I can think of is that before switching it off the previous time, I had inserted a USB hard-drive to copy some files on it. But I had continued working on the machine normally. The other unusual event is that the day before it was very slow booting up, so afer it finished booting up, I restarted it.
When the system failed to start, I tried the automatic procedures several times, which always ended up with "windows cannot solve the problem automatcally,
contact your vendor". In the penultimate attempt, I also clicked on an "advanced option tab" and restored the system, but that also did not solve the problem. Then, this morning I switched the machine on again to write down the exact error message I got, and instead, unexpectedly (and rather gladly), the machine started up normally. So, what might have happened? Should I get my machine (which is less than a month old) checked?
thanks!

Yes, theres a chance to have a complete image from the actual state of your operating system including all programs etc....
There are several solutions:
1. The Commercial One: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_(software)
2. Another commercial one: http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/features-cloning.html
3. The Free one: http://www.ubcd4win.com/
(but more complicated and you need in all cases a external data storage, there are some tools on this ToolsCD which are free and do almost the same like acronis or ghostimage)
I guess there are still thousands of cloning programs but I tried to give you the most important and most reliable tools.
If I were you, I would check the UBCD4Win, burn it to a CD, buy an external HDD, start the UBCD4WIn and clone your drive to the external one. So you can perform incremental backups of your HDD and if something happens, you must only do the whole process like you perform the backup just reverse.
Hope I could help you..
Cheers

Lightroom Faces: Two People with the Same Name

I downloaded Lightroom CC last night and came up with the following question:
I have an uncle and a cousin with the same name...can Lightroom create two different "people" or will I need to name them each differently? I'm guessing it's the latter but figured I'd pose the question in case there is an alternate solution.

johnrellis schreef:
You might have a keyword for each family grouping, e.g. "John Ellis Family" and "Steve Ellis Family", and then place the keywords for the members of each under those parents. E.g. under "John Ellis Family" you'd have "John Ellis", "Mary Ellis", "Jane Ellis", etc. And under "Steve Ellis Family", you might have "Steve Ellis", "Kathryn Ellis", and "John Ellis" (a different John Ellis).
It's a good idea to work with hierarchies. But for the face option to work, you will have to have two unique names.
I just did a quick test.
I have some images of twins in my catalogue, Tom and Boris.
Under them, I created a "name" Twin. Because of the hierarchy, I can apply Boris>Twin to one image, Tom>Twin to another and both of them to a third photo.
So I drag a name box around them and type "Twin". The drop down (auto fill) lets me choose between two identical looking entries called "twin". No way of knowing which one to pick. And maybe you've noticed that the auto fill drop down list starts with entries you used recently. So no good remembering that the top "Twin" will always be "Boris" for example.
The count of used keywords only goes up for one of them if I happen to use the same entry twice.
The only way for this to work (as far as I can tell now) is to drag the appropriate "Twin" from the keywordlist onto the right face in the People view (O).
I work with hierarchies, but I make sure I have unique names.
Also, I don't use spaces in the names, but rather JohnEllis, SteveEllis, etc. That way, if I have a very long list with Ellis members and also a lot of people called John or Steve, it's much easier to narrow the search for a particular person (like in smart collections).
Opening the properties for the keyword, I make sure that "include on export" is NOT on, so you won't see that strange looking name Number123JohnEllis in your exported image.
I have "export containing keywords" and "export synonyms" (and now with LR CC of course "Person") checked. As a synonym, you can put "John, Ellis, John Ellis, Steve Ellis family" and all of these will export.
Hope this makes sense.
Like John suggests, if you already create the Ellis Family>Steve Ellis Family>John Ellis>John>Numer123JohnEllis then you don't have to enter the synonyms, as long as you have "export containing keywords" on all of them checked, as well as "include on export" (except for the Number123JohnEllis keyword which shouldn't have "include on export" checked).
Working with hierarchies can really help you in your keywording. But it will take some time to set it up.

Two questions about my "new" used Macbook

Hello everyone,
I recently bought a Macbook for my wife from craigslist. It is a early 2008 model (http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/stats/macbook-core-2-duo-2.2-white -13-late-2007-santa-rosa-specs.html). I have two questions regarding its use.
1. I know a video adapter is available for these computers. Is there a cable that can connect the video out on the macbook to a TV that has only a RCA input?
2. I noticed (a little late) that the mouse button on the trackpad is a little chintzy. It takes quite a bit of effort to press the button and it appears to stick a little. I currently have the trackpad configured to accept clicks, however I would like to fix the button if possible. Has anyone had any success with changing the mouse button?
Thanks.

Thanks for the response. I went to the apple store and picked up the cable yesterday. It works perfectly. I cleaned the area around the trackpad button a little and it seems to have eased a little. I will try putting the piece of paper in there and see if it gets better.
I have a follow up question regarding the video out to a CRT TV. Does anyone know what resolution works best for this kind of low-tech TV? I tried 800X600 and 1024X768 last night and neither one seemed TV-like. Should I try a lower resolution? I am trying to stream hulu from my computer directly into my TV.
Thanks.

Two questions about my new Mac Pro

Just got my new Mac Pro up and running and have two questions (issues)
First, I had to buy the DVI to ADC Display adapter to hook up my Cinema Display but now I can't turn the computer on from the monitor like I use to. Is that right? It's no big deal to have to turn it on at the computer itself, just wondering if anybody else is having this happen.
Also, the audio out at the back of the computer doesn't work. I've tried plugging in my speaker as well as my headset and nothing. If I plug either of those into the headset jack in the front of the computer all is well. Any thoughts?
Otherwise, I sure do love my Mac Pro!
Thanks.
jamie

I had to buy the DVI to ADC Display adapter to hook up my Cinema Display but now I can't turn the computer on from the monitor like I use to. Is that right?
ADC has pins for power control and the power light. DVI does not have these signals so the display's power button cannot turn on the computer when used with a DVI to ADC adapter.

Two questions: Scanner and exception handlers

Extreme Newbie Alert: I took a single college semester involving Java, almost five years ago, and haven't really touched it since until recently when I decided to try to get back into it. I am now working on building a program while reading the Java 5.0 Tutorial downloadable from Sun.
Okay, now that the faint of heart have left us, here are the two questions I want to ask:
1) I am trying to use the Scanner tool ( http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Scanner.html ) on a FileReader wrapped in a BufferedReader. I have installed JDK 5.0 and I am importing java.util.*, but when I try to compile I get this error:
Wishlist.java:71: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class Scanner
location: class Wishlist
Scanner readFromMe = new Scanner(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("wishlist.txt")));
^
...and then another one pointing to the other appearance of "Scanner" in the same line, followed by six more in places where I use the readFromMe variable that line was supposed to declare and initialize. Any idea why the compiler doesn't recognize Scanner even though I'm importing its package?
2) Is there anything preventing you from nesting exception handlers? As you've seen, in this program I open a file...if that attempt produces a FileNotFoundException, I want the error handling to create a new, empty file to use in place of the one that should have been there. Since this could throw an IOException of its own, I would need to put a try | catch block into the other catch block. Is the compiler going to stand for that? Alternatively, is there any input stream that creates a file with the specified filename if there is none already? Probably not, since a newly created file will be empty and there's no point in having an input stream on it...

1) Are you sure you installed and are invoking jdk
1.5? Maybe you have an earlier version ahead of it
on your path.Hm. I did use 1.3 back in college...I checked the contents of PATH and the User Variables version of it was set correctly but the System Variables version of it was set to 1.3. I corrected the System Variables version of it and now the compiler doesn't complain about Scanner...but I'm still getting errors that it doesn't recognize readFromMe even after I initialized it. Odd...
2) yeah you can nest try/catch blocks like that.
However, in this case, exceptions sound like the
wrong way to go. A missing file sounds like a real,
regular possibility -- it's not that exceptional as
you describe it. A better thing would be to create
a File object, see if the file exists, and then if
it doesn't go ahead and immediately handle that
case. Don't even try to open the file that may not
exist.Okay, I'll try rewriting the file read like that, and hopefully the readFromMe errors will go away. If they don't I'll make a new post...probably with the entirety of the code because I can't even guess at what part of the code is causing that. Thanks for the help!

More specific to two questions

Hi,
First of all, many thanks to Rottier, Daniel, Geoff. Your ideas are
definitely useful.
Regarding two questions I posted yesterday, I’d like to give you more
background information so that it will make questions more specific.
Now we have a lot of applications (programs) written in either C, C++,
Java codes or Forte (maybe other language like VB). Our purpose is to
integrate all the codes written for the different platforms such as
Windows NT and UNIX together seamlessly through CORBA or CORBA-IIOP
(Internet Inter-Object Request Broker Protocol). The most difficulties
I have met so far are to pass an object by its value. As you know,
CORBA specifications, version 2, don’t support the concept “pass object
by value”. But currently, some of CORBA vendors such as Forte and Iona
(OrbixWeb) do extend the concept “pass by reference” and support the
concept “pass object by value” for Java Mode not for IDL (Interface
Definition Language) Mode. If we want to integrate all codes together
without the support of “pass object by value”, the following question I
need to answer is the garbage collection in the Forte server side. In
CORBA IDL mode, I have to set all IsAnchored attributes of all objects
to TRUE. Can these objects be garbage collected? If yes, how does the
garbage collection work?
Please note that the client (C, C++, Java or other language) and the
server (Forte) are written using different languages (not limited to
Forte)! The question I posted can be much complicated if the client and
server are written in the different languages and for the different
platforms (NT and UNIX) as well as applied to the distributed and
multithreaded environment.
To be exact, if one of the multiple remote C++ clients decides not to
access the objects (not limited to service objects) in the Forte server,
how does Forte garbage collection know what the client has done
automatically and garbage collect the object? It is known that CORBA
does not support garbage collection. Is there any functionality
provided by Forte to let itself be automatically notified? As we know,
COM and DCOM do have such kind of functionality. When you integrate
DCOM with your applications, at both sides (client and server), it is
DCOM who internally poll the object references periodically. How about
CORBA and Forte? Forte has integrated IIOP as its own built-in
component and supported VisiBroker and IONA CORBA products. My guess is
because Forte has IIOP built in itself (both sides have to run ORB), so
Forte has the full control over the whole running environment, and can
monitor the references to the objects, and apply the garbage collection
to the objects automatically. Is this true? Here are the key words:
multiple, remote (distributed), different platforms and languages,
CORBA-IIOP. We should take all of these things into our consideration.
I did find that there is a big difference between IsAnchored set to TRUE
and FALSE when I tried to integrate C++ client, Forte server and Java
client, Forte server. For the C++ client, you have to set IsAnchored
attributes of all kinds of objects to TRUE. Note that In Forte, the
service objects and the ordinary objects are treated differently. The
service objects are created by Compiler or Interpreter. It is
transparent to the users. The ordinary objects are created at run time,
garbage collection can be applied to. For Java client, you can either
set IsAnchored attribute to TRUE or FALSE depending on what you want
(access the services provided by Forte server side by value or
reference). This really answers the question: IsAnchored can control
pass object by value or reference, and really matches what you guys
talked about in your e-mail. My thoughts are that IsAnchored has
nothing to do with the garbage collection, otherwise this will disable
the garbage collection at all! Because I have to set all IsAnchored
attributes to TRUE at Forte server side for my C++ client, if the
garbage collection is really based on the IsAnchored attribute, this
means that the garbage collection is totally disabled for all those
objects with their IsAnchored attributes set to TRUE! Can anyone
confirm that? Don’t forget that this issue is raised in such
complicated environment! What I want to clarify is whether Forte does
provide such a garbage collection mechanism so nice, so smart to
automatically maintain a persistent object reference table or whatever
and deal with the garbage collection issue in such complicated
environment!
Believe this can make my questions much specific and clear. I’d like to
discuss more details about it.

HT1725 I tried to download two movies on Christmas and I cannot find them in my movie section on Itunes

I tried to download two movies on Christmas and I cannot find them in my movie section on Itunes

If they were rentals, it's doubtful they are still available.
iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Two questions - album art and shuffling

Ok...I have two questions, but didn't really want to make two posts...
The first has to do with album art... All of my album art is in itunes and has been loaded onto my ipod (16gb, 4th gen)...I know it's there because I went song by song and did it and checked it. But my ipod chooses when it feels like displaying it...sometimes it displays it, sometimes I get the music note. If it's not there and I turn it off and on again, it will reappear...it does it on random songs when it feels like it. I tried resetting the ipod and that didn't help and it has resyncing multiple times. It's just hit or miss if the ipod feels like showing it.
My second question has to do with the shuffle feature. I always shuffle my songs, but it seems like it's only shuffling the same songs...mainly those that I first synced. Every now and then it will throw in a new song, but it seems like it's shuffling the same songs constantly....and they don't have more plays than others because I've flipped through them. It's really annoying because it seems like it's always the same songs...
Has anyone run into this also or have any ideas? I figured I'd through this out there before I exchange it out for a new one... both problems are just annoyances that are driving me nuts...especially the shuffle thing...I'm tired of the same songs!! Thanks guys!

1) Have you checked that the album art is actually on each file? Right-click on the song and select, "Get Info" and then the "Illustration" tab. Now, press the "Next" button and make sure that all the songs that you think have got the album artwork actually have them.
People often have problems like this with album artwork, or that two versions of the same album appear on the iPod etc. These problems are related to iTunes and how the music has been setup - and not usually the fault of the iPod.
2) The shuffle feature. I don't know what anyone else has to say about this but I find it REALLY bad on ALL iPod products. This is why: it starts to re-shuffle the music before it has played all of them at least once. I find this rather illogical and haven't experienced this with any other brand but I guess Apple programmed it like that for a reason. I thought they could have at least improved it somewhat on the Shuffle 2G as that is its main selling point. As a result, I get some songs that play 10 times and others that never play at all.
Hope this helps.

Lightroom trial consistently crashes

I downloaded and installed (after several tries) a trial version of Lightroom for Windows. The program will open, but as soon as I click Import (either the button or through the File menu), it crashes - the little circle thing spins endlessly, and I get a (Not Responding) message. Not much of a trial.

My ultimate solution. In frustration I deleted everything I could find on my Mac connected with Lightroom, CC, Flash, Adobe AIR, etc., etc., including suspport and preference files in my account and in root. Ran CC Cleaner Tool until there was nothing left.
Then I gingerly started rebuilding the installation by first re-installing the CC Desktop app. After that (and singing in with my Adobe ID) I re-downloaded my Apps (Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC). A couple (maybe 3) times the results showed the apps were installed but needed updates, which were tagged as "failed". Logging in and out of CC Desktop eventually led to stable functional installation and Im back to using LR(CC) and P'shop(CC) without difficulty.
My speculation? After several years of downloading and sometimes deleting various Adobe stuff there was something on my HD, probably in some obscure Application Support folder or a preferences folder that was causing the current CC Desktop installer to choke.
What bugs me is that Adobe seems to have (despite some fine products) a curiously self-centered approach to living within the Apple OS system. No other application I own has got such a convoluted and easily upset installation process.

Trying Lightroom trial; two questions?
