Upping Resolution, CS4, ...Quick Follow Up Question

Recently learned here how to up the size and resolution on a project in CS4 where the document size, in inches, was tiny to begin with. I'm now working with a .tif image that's got the document size I want (approx. 20" X 27") and I'm assuming I just change the "Resolution" box from 72 to 300 to max it out. Is this correct?
Thanks.

>I have a digital image file measuring 1472 X 1978 pixels which I want to use as a base to create a digital painting over - completely displacing the aforementioned base image.
What Ramón said in Post #17. Just set desired final output dimensions and use 360 ppi if you want absolute highest quality and can tolerate working with the large resultant file size. However 20x27 at 360 ppi is a large file and many computers will experience painting slowdowns.
Due to typical viewing distances personally I use 300-360 ppi for small prints, 240-300 ppi for 8x10 and 240 ppi for 11x14; 180 ppi for large posters. If I was creating a painting I would do some test painting/printing to establish what ppi density worked best on my hardware and chosen painting style before I invested lots of hours painting.
As to post #18, I do not believe that usage of
giclée is gradually becoming obsolete at all. It appears to me that its usage as a term used to describe artistic high-end inkjet printing on various quality media has been
growing (however my mountain world although full of artists is a pretty small pond).

Follow up question about image not looking good in canvas-Shane?

I guess this is a follow up question for Shane....
You wrote this in response to someone a year ago which helped me out.
Shane's Stock Answer #49 - Why is the quality different between what I see in the Viewer and what I see in the Canvas?
Well... the viewer is just that-- a viewer. It will display anything that fcp will recognize as usable video or graphics. The canvas is a viewer too, but at the pixel dimension specified by the settings of your project and sequence.
For example, if your graphic or footage is much higher resolution than your 720x480 DV sequence, FCP is interpolating down your file to fit the settings of the sequence. Usually this makes it look not so hot. DV is a 5:1 compression working with a 4:1:1 color depth. Your pristine picture images and graphics are being crushed.
Same with picture files. HIgh res pics now adopt the sequence settings and will render to those specs, and most likely they are not as high quality.
So, based on your answer, I made an HDV sequence, dropped my DVCPro50-NTSC footage and my tiffs into the sequence and now the stills look great. Is this an okay workaround or do you have another suggestion? I'm worried about this HD sequence taking too long to make a compressed QT from in the end.
Thanks!

Photo JPEG is a good option. But this all depends on what your final output will be. If you are going to make a DVD, then that is SD, so using an HD sequence setting makes no sense. Photo JPEG is good, but not realtime in FCP. DV50 or ProRes NTSC are good options.
Unless you are making an HD master...in which case ProRes 422 for HD is good

IMovie and external hard drive: follow up question

This is a follow up question from the iMovie 6 forum. Hopefully, this question will help the poster on that forum as well. I, too, am working on multiple iMovie 5.0.2 projects at the same time and am running out of hard disk space. I would like to transfer remaining miniDV tape to an external hard drive and, when finished, transfer these clips from the external hard drive to the current iMovie project in my Powerbook, one project at a time. Is this possible ? Will I transfer files from the external hard drive to the Powerbook hard drive and then to iMovie, or directly from the external hard drive to iMovie ? Do I have to format the external drive to Mac OS Extended as advised in iMovie 6 forum in order to transfer miniDV tape to the external hard drive ? When pressing the erase tab to format the external hard drive, will this erase files already on the hard drive before formatting ? Can I transfer projects I am not working on from iMovie to the external hard drive and then transfer them back to the Powerbook when it is time to work on them ? Sorry about all the questions but I need to think very simple-minded when it comes to computer related issues. Thanks for your help.

I was able to use and store iMovie in the external hard drive using my Powerbook as a monitor, so I presume it is formatted correctly
Sorry, but you cannot assume the drive is formatted correctly. iMovie doesn't tell you the drive format is incompatible with iMovie. (it should, but it doesn't.) Some iMovie project features can be saved and some cannot.
It's easy to check the disk format. In the Finder, click on the drive icon and choose File > Get Info from the Finder menubar. The window that opens shows the disk Format. You want it to say "Mac OS Extended". "(Journaled)" is optional.
With some drives, sometimes even that can be wrong. To be sure, use Disk Utility to check the format. When you click on the drive in the list along the left side of the Disk Utility window, the format is displayed at the bottom of the window.
Always, always, always check the disk format before using a drive with iMovie.

Follow up question...

I just purchased a Airport Extreme from the Apple Store yesterday. I purchased it to extend/share my iPhone 5 hotspot. I have figured out how to have AEBS join my hotspot, but it does not seem to have access on the Ethernet ports in the back?? This is my needed feature, unfortunately I live in an area that only offers DSL and only 2.5mbps.. . Using my phone I'm able to receive 10-20mbps on LTE/4G, and fortunately for me I have unlimited data on my hotspot. So I'm set for the wireless devices in my home, but struggling getting wired devices working....
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Tim

This solved my question by Bob Timmons on Nov 28, 2013 3:33 PM
No, only the AirPort Express. There are 2 Ethernet ports on the Express. If you need more, you can add an Ethernet switch.
The Express has a special feature called ProxySTA that allows it to join a network and the Ethernet ports will be enabled when it does this.
Might be fun to ask one of the sales guys what exactly ProxySTA is and what it does before you explain it to them. Even the "genius" may not know.
See the answer in context
Follow Up Question----
I asked the apple salesperson about proxySTA, first I got a blank stare then, some nonsense to attempt they knew what it was.
So I picked up the Express, set it up to join my hotspot and it works really well!!! The only problem is the hotspot only allows five connections. The express eats one, that only leaves four! Is there another way to set up the express so it can handle the dhcp so my hotspot only sees the one connection to the express??
Thanks,
Tim

Now please perform a hard reset on the second Express by holding in the reset button for 10 seconds, then release. Allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
Make sure that the Ethernet connection from the first "joining" Express goes to the WAN "O" port on the second Express creating a wireless network.
Don't worry about the Double NAT message for now, just make sure that you can now log on to the Internet through the second Express wireless network.
You may need to power off both Express devices and restart the "joining" Express first, then start up the "creating" Express.
Once you verify that everything is working, you can go back in using AirPort Utillty and click to ignore the Double NAT so that a green light will be displayed on the second Express.

Follow-up question on ZXM08U16 table E_TDRSEG (function group XM08)

Rich's suggestion worked (on how to retype the E_TDRSEG table received from MIRO by include ZXM08U16 in the function group XM08.
Before asking my new follow-up question, let me recap the original SAP typing of this table and the way I've retyped it (following Rich's instructions):
The original SAP typing is:

       rblgp_old TYPE rblgp,           "rblgp before aggregation
       END OF mmcr_drseg.
I retyped this as follows:

But here's my question. To load the new table from the SAP table, I've had to use the code below. Is there any way to simplify this code? (I don't think there is because the drseg structure is included in the old and the new, so you can't simply say new-drseg = old-drseg. But maybe there's another way to do it and I'm not seeing it. Also, note that I had to loop on each of the inner three tables because it wouldn't compile when I tried statements of the form "new-table[] = old-table[].)

Quick SAP Script question New Page Print

Quick SAP Script question
I have added a new page to an existing SAP Script BUT only want it to print if a condition is true.
I need to do this from within the form as the print program is SAP Std.
Any idea how I can prevent the new page from printing?
i.e. I need the form NOT to call the new page if the condition is false. Is there a way of forcing an exit or stop from with in the form?

Hi,
To trigger a new page, there is script ediotr command NEW-PAGE.
so find where is that command is triggered and use the below code for trigger it on any specific condition....
if &condition& = 'True'
/* NEW-PAGE
elseif
/: NEW-PAGE
endif
so it means if condition is satisfied your new page will not work.. else it will...
Hope you got it...
Try this..
Best luck..
Regs,
Lokesh.

Why can't I ask any follow-up questions?

Why is my earlier message marked 'Read Only' . . . it's the only one I can find that is. I have follow-up questions, and can't find anything in the Help section that addresses 'Read only'.

deweyrich, I don't know how it got marked as such, but I've fixed it.

Mac, have just upgraded to Yosemite and when I shall open Photoshop (CS4), the following message appears:
"The licensing of the product does not work"
Fault 6
How should I proceed?
Have the program installed on only one computer.

Download the Adobe Licensing Repair Tool.
Run the License Service Update.
Mac OS X 10.7 and above:
a. Double-click the LicenseRecovery111.dmg It will extract the folder. Open the folder.
b. Double-click your Hard Drive.
c. Double-click Applications.
d. Double-click Utilities.
e. Double-click Terminal.
f. Type sudo python
Note: There is a space following “python”. Do not press Return.
g. Drag LicenseRecover.py from the LicenseRecovery111 folder onto the Terminal Window and press Return.
It should look like this:
h. Enter your administrator user name and password when prompted and click OK.
(Note: the cursor will not move and you will not see stars or dots, just enter your password anyway.
i. Let the script run, it will tell you when it is finished. Quit terminal and restart Photoshop

I have what is hopefully a quick and easy question. I kno...

I have what is hopefully a quick and easy question. I know almost nothing about this stuff so go easy on me . All I need to do is find out if my DHCP is enabled. I'm having problems with my Xbox 360 and one of the possible problems is this DHCP thing. However I have no idea how to find the settings for my router on my computer. If it helps I have a Wirless model BEFW11S4. Thanks in advance for any help.

You need to access your router to check if the DHCP is on. To access the router open your browser and type in http://192.168.1.1 into the address field and hit enter. That should open the routers log on screen and by default the user is left blank (some routers it is admin) and the password is abmin. If you changed your routers password as you should for security reasons then use that password. That will bring you to your routers user interface and on the main set up page should be your DHCP.

Less dumb follow-up question about super/sub classes in WDJ?

This is a follow-up question to the question which Maksim answered in this thread:
Dumb question about super/sub classes in WDJ
Question:
Is there any kind of weird C++-like statement that you can put at the top of a WDJ module to force the module to interpret any reference to superclass A as a reference to some specific subclass B of A ???

David,
1. Java has no preprocessor, so C++ tricks are not available. Also I would not recommend such tricks even in C++ if you don't want to turn your colleagues working with same code into personal enemies.
2. The phrase "easier to create a WDJ custom class loader " makes me smile. First, it's not that simple to interfere WDJ class loading scheme. Plus custom class loaders is not trivial Java topic per se.
3. The problem "replace all A-s with B-s" is typically solved using one or another GoF creation patterns, like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_factory_pattern">Abstract Factory</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factory_method_pattern">Factory Method</a>. You may use them with custom class loader, if you really want to
By the way, all UI controls in WD are created using Abstract Factory (role played by view). So you may use this as good example.

Sorry for opening two threads on this, but I need to get this solved as I'm on a tight deadline here...
The answer that pretty much solved my issue on sorting columns on sub-totals in Answers was:
if you want to sort on sub-totals, follow this:
i'm assuming that for that profitability column sub-total is sum of individual values for that segment..
create other column in criteria tab:
change it's fx to: sum(Profitability by Year, Sector)
then, keep first sort order asc/desc on this column
hide this column
apply 2nd sort order asc/desc on normal profitability column..
hope it resolve your issue.... I just have one more quick question:
I can now sort according to sub-total, but how can I hide this new column from my table view? Clicking on the red 'x' button totally removes it as a filter.. The "hide" checkbox in the properties of the column simply grays the column out and shows it without any numbers.
Thanks in advance
- Magnus

go to column properties (first option) > Column Format tab
you find hide check box.. select and save.
grays out the values in the column, which is correct and the same what we want..
But, you should look at that in compound layout, not in edit properties of table...
in compound layout, appears like it's hidden
or
achieve everything in pivot then exlude that particular column

Photo quality follow-up questions

I read OT's response to a photo quality question and had some follow-ups I'd like to ask. Aside from cropping photos to 4:3 format does increasing the dpi of the photos have any effect in improving the quality of the final image in iDVD?
I'm making a dvd of family photos for my wife. Some were taken with a digital camera, some are photos scanned by myself and some are photos given to us by relatives that they scanned. I'm putting them together in iMovie, leaving them static - no pans or zooms, keeping the image size at a value of "1", setting the duration at 5 seconds and grouping them by subject using chapter markers so I can get around the 99 photos limitation. (I have over 1500 photos.)
I've already burned on dvd and was disappointed by the "jaggies" on most of the photos when viewed on my cinema display. Haven't looked at the dvd on a regular tv (CRT, not flat screen/digital). The images looked great in iMovie. It occurred to me that increasing the dpi - most were at 72 dpi - to 300 might improve this issue all other things remaining the same. I can do that easily in Photoshop, but was wondering if that would be a waster of time - especially if no improvement would be realized.
Thanks for any thoughts/help that anyone can offer.

iMovie HD 6.0.3 and iDVD 6.0.4
As far as I know - this will give max quality possibly when making a Video-DVD
resolution: 72dpi or 300dpi
depends on size
A small picture 200 x 300 pixels - will be worse than a 1200 x 1600 picture.
Resolution doesn't matter as I see it.
iMovie and/or iDVD will try to scale it to fit - and up or down-scaling
will not be done kindly.
Still using my 2016 × 1512 - usually give good result in iMovie
but if I Share to iDVD (iMovie HD6 6.0.3 or 4) - BAD RESULT
I just close the iMovie project
Drop the iMovie project icon (With a black star on it) into the iDVD application (menu window).
Result best possibly for a Video-DVD - DVD standard is the limit.
Else that determine the final quality on the DVD
DVD quality
1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
• Best Performances
(movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
About double on DL DVDs.
2. Video from
• FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
• iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
when the movie includes photos and the Ken Burns effect NOT is used. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
• iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly e.g. x4 or x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application when burning from a DiskImage.
4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc). For SD-Video - if HD-material is used I guess that 4 to 5 times more would do.
5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW) - DVD-R play’s on more and older DVD-Players
7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
(I use JES_Deinterlacer to keep frame per sec. same from editing to the Video-DVD result.)
8. Don’t burn more than three DVDs at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
iDVD quality also depends on.
• DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
deliver anything better that this.
HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-Player.
Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
_ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
_ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
_ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
• HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
• How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
• Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
• Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
• What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
• What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
(If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
(Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
(US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
(EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
• What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
• How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
(x4 by some and may be even better)
2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
Region codes.
iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
1 = US
2 = EU

What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
to get this to work I
• Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk
• Use Verbatim DVD-R (absolutely no +/-RW)
• Set down burn speed to x4 - less burn errors = plays on more devices
• No other process running in background as - ScreenSaver, EnergySaver OR TIMEMACHINE etc
• and I'm very careful on what kind of video-codecs, audio file format and photo file formats I use
• and I consider the iDVD Bug - never go back to video-editor to change/up-date - if so Start a brand new iDVD project
• Chapters set as they should - NO one at very beginning and no one in any transition or within 2 sec from it
• Lay-out - Turn on TV-Safe area and keep everything buttons, titles etc WELL INSIDE not even touching it !
Try to break the process up into two stages
• Save as a DiskImage (calculating part)
• Burn from this .img file (burning stage)
To isolate where the problem starts.
Another thing is - Playing it onto a Blu-Ray Player. My PlayStation3 can play BD-disks but not all of my home made DVDs so to get this to work I
• Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk
• Use Verbatim DVD-R (absolutely no +/-RW)
• Set down burn speed to x4 - less burn errors = plays on more devices
• No other process running in background as - ScreenSaver, EnergySaver OR TIMEMACHINE etc
• and I'm very careful on what kind of video-codecs, audio file format and photo file formats I use
• and I consider the iDVD Bug - never go back to video-editor to change/up-date - if so Start a brand new iDVD project
• Chapters set as they should - NO one at very beginning and no one in any transition or within 2 sec from it
• Lay-out - Turn on TV-Safe area and keep everything buttons, titles etc WELL INSIDE not even touching it !
TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
• Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
• No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
• Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
• Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
• Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
• Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show
• No File Vault on - Important
• NO - TimeMachine - during iMovie/iDVD work either ! IMPORTANT
• Lot's of icons on DeskTop/Finder also slows down the Mac noticeably
• Start a new User-Account and log into this and iMovie get's faster too - if a project is in a hurry
• And let Mac run on Mains - not just on battery
