Turn off timezone adjustment

It would be really really nice to be able to disable the feature which shows the date and time a picture was taken in local time (i.e. adjusted for time zones). I shoot all over the world, and I'd like to know the actual date and time I took a picture, not the date and time I took the picture adjusted for the current time zone. This is particularly annoying when the date ends up being adjusted too - pictures show up in the metadata browser on the wrong day.

I had to stop renaming to include capture time on import because LR doesn't know what its doing with time.
Funny thing is I took a picture of a clock at 6:00. Camera's internal clock also said 6:00. The photo-info overlay of Lightroom ALSO said 6:00... but the renaming is off by 1 hour.
I think this is an issue that should have been fixed or addressed in 1.0, and is kinda sad that it is still a problem now. If its an issue of all the different date tags a file can have, simply give US the option to choose which one to use.

How to turn off volume adjustment sound under Windows 7

Hey all,
I'm running Windows7 x64 on an Intel iMac (July 2010 revision).
Things are running well for the most part. However, I am unable to find a way to turn off the blooping sound played when adjusting the volume in Windows 7 (I know how to turn it off in OS X). I have tried turning off all system sounds under Windows,but the volume adjustment sound still plays. Does anyone know how to turn this off? I find it jarring. I would appreciate any help that anyone can give.
Thanks.

That too bad because I use the MBP to do my radio show and it's very annoying. I know you can turn it off on the mac side.

Epsom R2400 Printer - turning off color adjustment in CS3

Printing very well with R2400 in CS2 but.....
In Photoshop CS2 there was a button to allow Photoshop to control the color printing by selecting it and later to select 'no color adjustment' This worked out great.
In Photoshop CS3 I can also select Photoshop to control the color management but the images come out wrong. Cannot find ' no color adjustment button.' CS3 Help says "turn off color management for printer profile settings.' Where or how do I do this?
Thanks for any help you can provide. Roy

HI Ramon, After PRINT and in the Epsom R2400 dialogue box (layout page) there are only the following selections offered:
Color matching (nothing available to select)
Paper Handling
Paper Feed
Cover Page
Printer Features (use for my selections but no ability to to turn off color management)
Summary
In CS2 there was a color management Dialogue Box and I selected NO Color management and printed with confidence,
Am I missing something here? Do you use Match Print Colors?
Falling behind in my work and appreciate your time, Roy

How do I turn off "Automatically adjust brightness" on Mountain Lion using AppleScript

I'm new to Mac, Applescript and Automator and I'm trying to make a automation for when I perform on stage and found a script to set the brightness all the way up but can't find a script to disable "Automatically adjust brightness". Any help would be appreicated.

You could even both “set the brightness all the way up” and “disable Automatically adjust brightness” with just one and the same script:
tell application "System Preferences"
    -- launch
    -- activate
    set current pane to pane id "com.apple.preference.displays"
    reveal anchor "displaysDisplayTab" of current pane
    tell application "System Events"
        tell process "System Preferences"
            tell group 1 of tab group 1 of window 1
                set value of slider 1 to 1.0 -- max
                tell checkbox 1
                    if value is 1 then click
                end tell
            end tell
        end tell
    end tell
    quit -- optional
end tell

Bridge CS6 How to turn off auto tone adjustment for the loupe?

Adobe Bridge CS6. 'Apply auto tone adjustments' is unchecked in Camera Raw Preferences. Yet every time I click on an image in the preview panel it does a tonal adjustment before it magnifies the image detail. I am viewing bracketed images and do not want any auto tone applied at any time while previewing images. How can I turn off all auto tone adjustment for the program - including the loupe. I never had this issue in a previous version. I'm on PC. Thanks for any help!

All 4 Default Image Settings are unchecked. Checking this further I have found this is only a visual issue in Bridge Preview. I have opened the same raw file before any adjustment had taken place (w/o using the loupe magnifier) in PS CS6 - and then again opened it after using the magnifier which did an auto contrast adjust on the image. Both files are the same in PS CS6. This is only a visual issue within Bridge (Master Collection CS6) on my Win7 64 bit machine. No issue with a standalone PS CS6 version on my XP 64 bit system.
There is no auto adjustment of the image until I use the loupe (magnifier tool).
Note my previous comment as to what happens when I use it. Thanks!
I have a feeling this is a bug. I have a Photography help group on fb and posed this question to them. I had mostly no issue responses but got this from another person. I checked after reading this and it is the same issue with me - this only happens with raw files, not jpeg. Here is his comment line.
Carl, I see what you mean, I have tried several adjustments to the preferences and none seem to work. The image automatically adjusts after a brief time. There does not seem to be any way to turn off the adjustment. I'm using Bridge CS 6 on a Mac. I don't think it has anything to do with camera calibration, but it only happens when using RAW files. I tried it on JPGs and TIFFs and it did not adjust the loupe image. Wonder what Adobe has to say
So - tThanks for any thoughts! So at least it's not going to be an editing issue - but it's a pain here. I use Bridge to edit my shoots and I often shoot bracketed images. While I cull images according to the histogram, I also do visual assessment and I can't have Bridge doing it's own thing on tonal adjustment.

You should post questions about using applications in the specific application's forum(s).

Turned off automatic layer masks with adjustment layers - want them back

I somehow turned off the option that creates a layer mask automatically when creating a new adjustment layer. I need that feature back, but I cannot locate it anywhere in photoshop or on google. Does anyone know how to reset that option? I am using CS5. Thanks!

Thanks. That is what I have been tying to find, but I am afraid I need a little more guidance. I am in the layers panel and clicked on the arrow to the right and I have no options to select this. Here is what I am looking at:
Then when I select panel options I get this - not what I am looking to fix:

Have you plugged the USB cable into the computer also as the brightness is controlled over USB. If this does not work, you would need the Apple Display Driver for the version of Windows that you are using. The display driver is part of BootCamp software that you may be able to find online

Turn off the Auto adjust when shooting tethered in aperture

is there any way to turn off the auto adjust feature in aperture? When I shoot tethered it over corrects and ruins all the shots, then I have to adjust back for the client to get a good idea of the image.

After the disaster of iTunes 11.1 that deleted nearly all my archived podcasts (recovered from backup thankfullly) I was shocked, but not altogether surprised, to see that the option to delete played episodes has been enabled/re-enabled by default.
From the lower right of the Podcasts window click Settings then, if needed, click Defaults, then turn Delete Played Episodes to Off.
Why set the destructive option as the default?
I have many episodes that I want to keep that are no longer available at their feed so the last thing I want is any automatic delete process to be enabled.

Hi Jen. My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse. Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too. Now to the problem at hand. I have the same problem. I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade. Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade. But I'm sure other factors are involved. Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem: What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it. Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade. Hope this works. Charlie

Disable timezone adjusting

Hey I guys,
I have switched from iPhoto to Aperture recently and I am quite happy so far, but there is one thing right now that is bugging me like crazy: Picture time, timezones and all those inconsistencies.
I cannot wrap my head around it, I can't even tell what's wrong exactly, because it is so inconsistent.
Basically, I travel a lot and I want to browse all my pictures and see at what time they were taken in their timezone. If I was in New Zealand and took a picture at 8pm on the 1. of Jan 2012, I want to see it with that date and time even though I am in Sydney right now. I do not want it to adjust or in fact do ANYTHING. I don't even care abou the timezone, I just want to know when and at what time I took a picture.
So far I thought this is what Aperture has been doing, but there are inconsistencies everywhere. For example, if I hover over a project it displays the oldest picture is 01.01.2012, but then if I view the oldest picture in the project the metadata shows the date as 02.01.2012.
It gets even worse if there are multiple cameras, which were taking pictures at the same time, but had incorrect times set. On my holiday in NZ friends of mine were taking pictures and their time was set to Canada time and mine was set to NZ time. I thought that would be no problem, but EVERYTHING is completely messed up. I tried to use adjust time and date, but it displays a different date than what the metadata shows. Reloading from master again sets a different time. Changing the timezone through the batch change menu modifies all of those again. It's a complete mess and there is NO documentation on it. At least I couldn't find any.
How could Apple make something so complicated? To be honest after 1h of experimenting and googling and reading all the posts about this, I am sick of it. All I want is for Aperture to stop doing anything with the times. Just display the same times as they are in the pictures... this can't be that hard, can it?
I hope someone can either tell me how to turn this nonsense off or explain how Aperture deals with time and timezones so that I can at least work around it.
I would really appreciate any help I can get with this... I am so frustrated...
Greetings, Kim

Hi,
thank you very much! Your post helped me a lot to understand what Aperture is doing. After playing around and experimenting here is what I found additionally:
"Adjust date/Time..." displays the time adjusted to your current time zone:
If the picture was taken in NZ and the timezone is set to NZ's timezone and I am currently in Sydney and my system preferences time is set to Sydney's timezone. Aperture will display the adjusted time.
Picture time: 02.02.2010 03:28:35 PM NZDT
Date shown when adjusting under original: 02.02.2010 01:28:35 PM AEDT (The time it was in Sydney (my current timezone) when the picture was shot)
After adjusting the time Aperture for some reason also changes the timezone setting. In my case for some reason to GMT+0, but actually does write the correct time into the master (the one you selected) "Update from Master"
I think this is where all my confusion came from yesterday.
I like to adjust the actual time and write it directly into the master, in case I am ever going to switch to a different program or I ever want to view the pictures in a different program. I just want to have such essential metadata properly and correctly in the file itself and not in a database of an app.
Unfortunately the batch change adjust timezone function does not change the master file.
The problem is that if you use "Reload from Master" the timezone adjustment is overwritten with the current system time. I do this for example after geotagging my pictures with other programs. This is one more reason for me to adjust the time with the "Adjust date/time..." option.
To solve my problem I will from now on do the following:
Reload from master to get the actual time from the master and avoid confusion in case Aperture adjusted anything
Use "batch change" to set the timezone of the picture to my current timezone (both actual and camera's being the same, so it shouldn't change the time at all)
Use "Adjust date/time..." to adjust the time (which should display the same original time that was also in the master itself, since the picture is set to my current timezone).
Again "Reload from master", because adjust time will probably adjust the timezone for some stupid reason again
Use "Batch change" to set the timezone to the real timezone the picture was shot in (both actual and camera's being the same to avoid any changing of the time itself)
Overall I still can't believe how complicated and confusing this is and that it takes so many steps to do this.
I cannot believe the software does such random things... just WHY would it change the timezone if I am adjusting the time and WHY does it display the time converted to my current timezone when adjusting it... things just don't make sense to me.
PS: My camera is a Sony Nex-5, but the same thing happened with my friend's Fujifilm camera. All the pictures I am currently working with were imported from my iPhoto library and were set to the timezone GMT+0, but at least the time hasnt been shifted or anything as far as I can tell.
