US Eliminations vs Auto Adjustments

Hello Folks,
I have two set of questions relating Eliminations and Please share your valuble inputs in this regards.
Q1> How to decide whether to go for US Eliminations or Auto Adjustments Business Rules? I
My thoughts:
was under impression that US Eliminations need a seperate Elimination Entites. And also it can be done only for Entities having common parent (nothing but with in a Group) But for Auto Adjustments Elimination Entires will be captured under seperate Data Sources. And it can support Inter Group Eliminations also.
Your inputs here:
Q2>How Eliminated/Adjusted amounts of an Account will be distributed into entities much lower than Company Code when we do eliminations at Company Code level? How to capture Eliminations at lower level than Company Code(Ex, Profit center, Cost center, WBS element, Internal Order)
My thoughts:
Eliminated Values when we performed Auto Adjustments gets captured in seperate Data Source and seperate Elimination Accounts we create exclusively in BPC.(Ex IC_DIFF, IC_REC, IC_SAL, IC_REV..)
Eliminated Amounts by Account, by Company Code cannot be distributed to further lower level entities like Cost Center, WBS Element, Internal Order. Eliminated Ammount will remain in Elimination Account in that Co Code as an aggregated value with all other Loew Enties as None_LLEntity)
Ex: In an Entity ABC, there is an account 123 is holding an amount of $ 1000. This value is coming out of combnations of Account, Company Code, Cost Center. After we performed US eliminations or Auto Adjustments $ 100 got Adjusted/Eliminated and resulted with $ 900 as Consolidated Value.
If we report it by Account, Company Code,Cost Center I guess we see Eliminated value something like this.
Account, Co Code, Co Ctr, Data Src, Amount
123, ABC, CC1, INPUT_DS = 1000
IC_DIFF, ABC, CC_None, ELIM_DS = (100)
Your Inputs:??
Please correct me if Iam wrong. Highly appreciates your inputs of these 2 set of questions.
Thanks,
BIBPC

Q1: US Elimination only works when entity hierarchy is static ( which means the hierarchy does not change as time goes by), and the share of parent entity over child entity is also static (100% always). Auto Adjustment is much more powerful (supposed) to do legal consolidation.
Q2: Do you mean the Cost Center is a 'Inter Company'? Btw, It's more clear to get the answer by hands on

How do I turn off ALL auto adjustments in Camera Raw?

SUMMARY:
I am simply trying to open my images in Camera Raw (version 8.6.0.254) via Bridge CC exactly how they were shot in camera, with no auto adjustments whatsoever. I already have all of the auto boxes unchecked in the Camera Raw Preferences dialogue box under Default Image Settings. I am shooting raw on a Sony A7r.
MORE INFO:
This discussion is not being created without prior research on how to solve it. Hopefully there is a simple solution that I have overlooked and missed when looking for it.
I shoot my raw images flat on purpose. The in-camera saturation is turned down, along with a lot of the other picture profile settings in the camera.
I use Bridge CC to sort though my images and make selects. In Bridge, I have "Prefer Embedded" selected for my thumbnails in order to stop the auto processing to happen to the thumbnails there.
The problem is, as soon as I open my raw images in Camera Raw from Bridge, the auto adjustments kick in and the saturation and exposure are automatically adjusted. I can't figure out how to stop Camera Raw from making adjustments to my raw images. As stated above, all of the auto check boxes are unchecked in the Camera Raw Preferences.
When the "Command U" shortcut is pressed after an image is opened, it applies the auto settings, making it clear the Camera Raw thinks that nothing has been applied yet. Toggling between "Camera Raw Defaults" and "Image Settings" in the side drop down menu does nothing either.
Below are two screen shots. One of how the thumbnail looks in Bridge, desaturated and flat. The other is how the image opens in Camera Raw with no user adjustments what so ever. You can see how the saturation and exposure have been adjusted:
Bridge Preview - this is how the image was shot in camera.
Camera Raw - Straight after opening the file with no user adjustments. You can clearly see the dramatic auto adjustments, but all of the sliders are set to default.
I would love to get some help with this, so I can see and work on my images as they were shot. Im really hoping it is a stupid oversight on my part with an easy fix. Thanks for the help.

As was already said: the camera's interpretation of the raw data is just one interpretation, and not the same as Adobe's. Don't confuse it with "exactly how they were shot", as this doesn't apply when shooting Raw. Granted it IS the manufacturer's interpretation, but you wouldn't be shooting Raw and using Adobe Camera Raw if you thought the manufacturer was always right.
One thing nobody has mentioned is Adobe's "baseline exposure" compensation factor. Camera Raw adjusts the default preview exposure by a factor of EV based on their measurements of the camera sensor. My present camera is boosted by 0.35EV and my last camera by 0.5EV. There is a way of determining this using EXIFTOOL, but I can't remember how to do it offhand. For the last few years, I have adjusted my own Camera Raw defaults by reversing this compensation, so it more closely matches the exposure I was expecting.
EDIT: here's the procedure, if you're interested. Re: Baseline Exposure

BPC Carry foward of auto adjustments (Consol)

Hi,
We are using BPC periodic model for Consolidation. Our carry forward tasks, basically carries forward the closing balance for balance shet items from the prior period to the current period. It does not carry forward any values that have datasource type "A", which is fine. I have read the consolidation configuration notes, and its states that the datasource type "A" will be carried forward when running the consolidation (auto adjustment task), it will adjust carry forward balances for prior period auto adjustments (datasource type "A")
This does not seem to be automatically happened, has anyone got any ideas? Thanks

Dear All:
I have a similar question about this automatical funcion in copying A-Type dadasource. I did see such copying of datasource with A-type in BPC 5.0 MS version, however, I had no idea why BPC does this copy automatically? Can I disable this and just copy datasource with type I and M into next year instead? Or how to explain this in terms of accounting consolidasion? Can anyone share your experience in it?Thanks in advance.

Develop Mode Auto Adjustments

Hello,
When I am loading RAW files in to LR, in the Develop mode they start off as a pretty flat image (as I shot them) but then LR slowly adjusts each photos as it loads which looks like it is bumping the saturation and contrast then lowering the exposure.
What are these auto adjustments and how can I turn them off? I would rather edit my images as shot in camera, not after LR makes its own adjustments without my help.

This doesn't happen in Bridge
The difference: Lightroom is a raw editor, Bridge is not.
So, Bridge shows you what the camera did (if unedited raw file) instead of what it would look like with Lightroom edits. And Lightroom edits have to start somewhere, and that somewhere CAN'T be the same as the jpeg, or the same as another raw editing software (they use different settings, different software, different starting point..).
Don't get me wrong: I think Adobe should have better support for displaying embedded preview / sidecar jpegs (which is what Bridge does), and have an option to detect in camera profile setting and select a "nearest fit" Lightroom profile, but none of that will change the basic "deal" - different software, different settings, different starting point...
Note: this may seem odd to you now, but it's how all proprietary raw editors work, i.e. all those except the camera manufacturer's own (or those using the camera manufacturer's raw-rendering toolkit under the hood, instead of it's own), which emulates in-camera settings pretty-much exactly - no others can interpret a custom picture style, granted some may try to start with a somewhat closer look.
To review: all proprietary raw software does the same thing: interpret raw data according to invented algorithms and settings. That's what Lightroom software does, and that's what Capture NX2 does (and that's what your camera firmware does to come up with the jpegs), but they are different software, with different algorithms, which use different settings.
So your choices are:
* shoot jpeg
* use the camera manufacturer's software to process, or
* wean yourself from custom camera styles and learn to setup Lightroom processing instead.
PS - I recommend the later. Actually, you can use a plugin to somewhat translate camera settings to Lightroom settings, but I don't recommend doing it, because it tends to prolong your dependency on camera settings, rather than wean.
My advice? - Learn to use Lightroom (and get it set up optimally for your druthers) for post-production, and forget about camera settings whilst shooting (except for exposure and focusing etc., of course). Then, delete all the custom profiles you created in your camera, for therapeutic purposes .

Camera Raw 3.7 no longer supports per slider auto adjustments

Nobody else resent this "improvement"?
Now the only way to have the image properly scaled (while not affecting everyting else by the automatic guesswork) is to have the settings in custom non-automatic default and then one has to use the Exposure slider manually with the aid of the Highlights Clipping Warning, for each and every image.
Compared to the 3.6 where this is fully automatic and works very very well.

sorry for the confusion, it is indeed shift double click and double click to change from auto to standard.
If you use your own created standard setting both automatic and standard on top of the sliders are blue colored and visible. Using auto does gray out the auto setting and using standard does gray out this option which is logical because you have to click on the highlighted option to change.
So this is the way to see in what mode you are.

Camera Raw 3.7 Now Available
Tom Hogarty - 09:36pm Feb 18, 2007 Pacific
The Photoshop Camera Raw 3.7 plug-in is now available on adobe.com.
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
Important Notes Regarding Camera Raw 3.7
There are several significant changes to Camera Raw 3.7 in how it handles auto and default settings:
Applying auto settings by default is no longer controlled on a model by model basis, but instead there is a single global preference checkbox Apply auto tone adjustments that controls this adjustment for all camera models at once.
Camera Raw 3.7 no longer supports per slider auto adjustments. One Auto control at the top of the panel now sets the Exposure, Shadows, Brightness, and Contrast sliders to their auto values. The Default control at the top of the panel sets these same four sliders to their default values. The keyboard shortcut for the Auto control is CMD/CTRL-U.
The keyboard shortcut for the Default control is CMD/CTRL-R.
Double clicking on a slider to set that single slider to its default value.
Shift double clicking on a slider to set that single slider to its auto value.
Previously, default image settings could only be applied per camera model. Camera Raw 3.7 can now:
-Apply default image settings specific to a camera serial number
-Apply default image settings specific to a camera ISO setting
The additional criteria are located in the Camera Raw preferences.
The default settings (including the global auto preference) are now shared with the DNG Converter.
The DNG Converter requires OS X 10.3.9 as a minimum operating system.

LR makes auto adjustments even when prefs are set not to

Using LR 5.5 on a Mac with Mavericks.
I import photos in LR then when I begin to look through them, one by one, in Library Module Loupe view, I can see the photo the way I took it (low contrast and saturation) for a second while it's "loading" then LR seems to make an adjustment. I looks like it adds a lot of contrast. I believe I have all of the auto adjustments turned off in preferences.
I took a video of it below. The change happens quickly.
http://nickdantonio.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_0173.mov
What is happening here and how to do fix it?
Thanks.

After viewing the movie, what I saw is what I would expect to see with LR set to the defaults.
After the image is imported, the initial view will use the JPG preview contained in the raw file, this JPG preview will have all your camera settings baked into it.. After the raw file is processed, all your camera settings are ignored and the default LR profile is applied to it. The default LR profile is the "Adobe Standard" profile, which does up the contrast and saturation.
To prevent similar discrepancies, I created a user preset that applies the "camera neutral" profile and assigned that preset as the "apply during import".

Inexplicable Auto-Adjustments on Import

I've looked through my settings and Google, and it appears that my LR installation is set up as it should be, however, when I import an image, it applies some kind of auto-mix to the images. The images will show up for a split second as they should while loading, then when the standard size preview has been generated, it will shift to some kind of default adjustments.
I don't have any preferences that I'm aware of set to do this, so I'm not sure what's going on. Here's an example. This is how it's supposed to look:
Then when it's done loading, this is how it looks:
I know, we don't all have the same calibration, but you should be able to see some differences. The contrast is higher on the second image, the blue is a little less teal, and there even appears to be some added vignetting.
Sometimes it's not a problem, since almost everything gets some minor adjustments anyway. But in some situations, it will affect things dramatically, for example, sometimes a properly exposed image will all of a sudden become very under-exposed, presumably because it's detecting that's over-exposed, when it's not.
Can anyone give me a clear answer on why this is happening, and ideally how to fix it?

LR5 and Photoshop CC-weird auto adjustments on return to LR

This pertains to the use of LR5 and Photoshop CC.
. This problem that’s plagued me since LR4 has been when I’m working with plug-ins via Photoshop (now in PSCC). The transfer from LR to PS is no problem. It’s when I save the file and bring it back into LR that things change and the image barely resembles what the image looked like when saved in PS. Back in LR the exposure gets a wild increase in exposure as well as adjustments in contrast, highlight/shadow and clipping. The Basic adjustment panel is the only panel effected. So, like Nasim, I have to go back and change everything. A funny thing about this is that the history panel does not reflect these changes, so I can’t just step back in history. Drives me absolutely NUTS!

photowhiz wrote:
I would rather not chang the auto-tone adjustment pref as it IS usable on new (original from camera) imported files. And secondly, there isn't (IMHO) any reason why I should expect such wild swings in exposure executed by the auto-adjustment, especially when this does not occur when files are originally imported - it only happens when the PS edited file is returned to LR. The plug-in I use via PS is Niks Color Efex Pro 4. While I can just as easily go directly from LR5 to my plug-in I go through PS so I can flatten the image and thereby reduce file size. This is especially important when the original file is 35+MB.
I agree that it would be better if LR did not apply auto-tone when re-importing images from Ps editing - even if configured to do so at original import time - in fact, I am surprised that this is happening.
One workaround which would give you control over when auto-tone happens and when it does not, would be to remove it from your overall LR prefs, but include it into a Develop preset which you can then call at import time (as part of your Import settings). Perhaps you are already using such a preset, and can add this option to that. Then the only situation where auto-tone will happen, is where you explicitly ask for it to happen - the selection of this preset at import time, along with the remainder of the import options, can be automated by including it in a named import preset. Perhaps have differing import presets, for different import scenarios, e.g. as to whether you want autotone or not. There's some flexibility there.

Auto adjustments repeatable?

OK guys..In LR, I can save adjustments that I made on one image and can apply it to all images. Is there a way in aperture 2 that I can do this as well? Basically what i am doing is auto adjusting the image with exposure, color, levels. I just want to be able to auto adjust the image with the previous adjustment that I made to the last image without hitting three different buttons. Maybe like a copy and paste. In LR, you can copy and paste to all images the same adjustment. Any way to do this in Aperture 2?

That Aperture has a bit of a learning curve seems to be one of the least-understood aspects of the program.
It's huge, complex, powerful, and comes almost completely dis-assembled. There is a lot to learn.
Again, I don't know Ap2, but if you post specific questions someone here is likely to be able to help.
Sorry to hear about your change of circumstances. Best of luck!

Auto Adjustments

When I import a set of photos from a file on hard drive to aperture, I cannot use the auto exposure or auto levels buttons. I can physically mess with all these, but the auto functions keep the icon faded and inaccessible.
I have the book, "Aperture 1.5" with CD and have gone throught this repeatedly.
The sample/training photos are changed; the ones I have imported will not allow this option.
Is there a setting I have missed? I've hardly used this program w/o the manual.
Aperture is turning out to be a real let-down for me.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for all the replies.
Duh. Raw only. I wonder if ever would have figured that out on my own.
I hope over time this program becomes as intuitive as everyone says. I can see the value, but am really surprised at the learning curve that's required.

How do I turn off Auto-Adjustments?

Lightroom 2.5 for Macintosh - When I first click through images after importing from a folder, I can see for a split second what the image originally looked like, but then it is apparent that Lightroom is doing some changes to it. I don't want Lightroom doing any adjustments unless I tell it to, but I don't see what is causing this and so, don't know how to make it stop.
Any help is greatly appreciated - Thanks!

Look here: http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?10418-Why-did-Lr-ruin-my-picture
Lightroom first shows the jpeg preview contained in raw files and then renders it's own preview with LR settings, that is the change you are seeing. The above link explains it all in more detail.

Eliminating the auto sync action when adding new entry in calendar on my BB Curve 8330

Hi everyone,
I am using my Yahoo e-mail as my primary profile for my Calendar (CICAL) and Messaging (CMIME) as my Default Services. I do a daily sync with my Outlook 2003 calendar, notes, contacts, etc, via USB but I do not sync my BB calendar with my Yahoo calendar (I don't even use Yahoo calendar for that matter). Every time I edit an entry on my BB calendar I see the arrows on the top right corner flashing. I guess this means my Curve is trying to sync the changes to some other application, perhaps Yahoo calendar. How do I turn this feature off? I would like to minimize the amount of wireless transmission from my BB and I feel that this is an unnecessary activity since I'm not wirelessly syncing my calendar to anything else.
Thank you.
Solved!

Right I agree. The BlackBerry will alays display those arrows when it's sending/receiving data. The only way it won't is if you turn the radio off.

Bridge auto Changes temperature to pictures when clicked

Hi, I've been having this issue with both jpgs and DNGs so I think I have an issue with my Adobe Bridge. Having updated my CS5 with all the latest updates, camera raw, etc..., whenever my adobe bridge loads thumbnails for a picture (either jpg or dng), it adds a bit of this yellow hue/temp when i click on it. the change is permanent when i try to edit in camera raw and still there when i open the image to photoshop....
i've been scouring the net trying to find out how to solve this but it seems like no one knows really how to do this. i'm REALLY REALLY frustrated with this,
please help! I've cleared the cache, I only have 4 camera profiles under camera calibration in camera raw (Embedded, ACR 4.4, Adobe Standard, Camera Standard), I'm using a pentax k-5 but it doesn't sound like that should matter seeing how bridge DOES have the capability of showing what i want it to show but.... for some reason, that temp/tint keeps adding itself! akdfjalsdfjaldsf
I've included a screenshot of what it should look like and what it looks like when i click on it.
what it should look like
what ends up happening.

Within Bridge, go to Camera Raw Preferences, and make sure the "Apply Auto Adjustments" is NOT checked.

Stamp 'Auto exposure' not working?

Hello,
I've about 100 photo's. All taken under the same conditions.
I want to:
     - auto white balance
     - auto exposure
     - auto enhance
them.
So I did this to the first photo, then lifted metadata & adjustments, highlighted Adjustments, selected photo's no. 2 until the last one and stamped them.
Aperture was a while busy processing.
After processing was complete, I discovered that the 'auto exposure' hadn't been applied (or false applied?) to several (probably all) photo's.
The photo's were clearly over-exposed. So I stamped some of them again, one by one, to if anything would change but no, nothing changed.
However, upon selecting a single photo and clicking 'Exposure->Auto' in the Adjustments tab, the Exposure was adjusted (example: from 1,24 to 0,13).
In the online help I cannot find anything that says that you can't stamp 'auto exposure' or that you can't stamp several adjustments at once.
Any idea why this isn't working (correctly) and how to solve it?
Checking 100 photo's one by one seems a bit silly to do . . .
I'm using Aperture 3.4.5 on a MacBook Pro (early 2011 model) with OS X 10.8.4, and no outstanding updates.
Kind regards,
emeu1

I can duplicate what you are seeing. The problem shows up depending on the order you apply the adjustments to the first image.
1. First apply auto-exposure, then apply auto-enhance. Lift and stamp the adjustments. The auto-exposure adjustment is NOT applied to the selected images.
2. Now switch the order... first apply auto-enhance, then apply auto-exposure. Lift and stamp the adjustments. The auto-exposure adjustment is applied to the selected images.
So it would appear that stamping auto-adjustments fails depending on the order the adjustments were originally applied, at least when auto-enhance is included.
The auto-exposure adjustment does show up in the lift-and-stamp HUDs, but isn't being applied.
Some other notes...
Auto-enhance never seems to adjust exposure; it uses a combination of other adjustments, sometimes not always for the better.
Auto white balance gets thrown into auto-enhance, so I didn't include it when testing.
This smells like a bug to me, and I'm going to report it as such. You should do the same if you agree.
One more reason I don't like the whole lift & stamp approach to applying adjustments to multiple images. Blah!

What's up with auto downloads for tv seasons?

I receive emails telling me to download new episodes of already purchased seasons on iTunes but, alas!, no joy. The episodes do not autodownload and I have not been able to find a way to get at them short of (you've got to be kidding) buying them all over again. Really?!?

One of the first things I learnt in a PSE class years ago was: Never use auto adjustments, they'll ruin your picture ...
Since then, I rarely ever use any of these auto tuning features in any pricture editing software
I would go so far as to say that is extremely bad advice. The trio of 'auto' functions in PS are among the most powerful and useful in the entire program. They can be used in concert with each other, and each one faded to varying degrees - which they very often should be - and changing the type of blending when fading is very powerful. They can adversely affect image quality if used carelessly, by no means will ruin your photos de facto. Like any tool, they have to be used wisely. I've color corrected probably 100k photos over 18 years with PS and for me these tools are absolutely critical.
