Weird catalog "captions"

Why all of a sudden has Lightroom 4.3 started putting x.x MP (where x is a number) such as 9.1 MP under each image I import.
This happens even if I create a new catalog and the catalogs that were OK and displayed captions in this Library view now have this same x.x MP under them instead of there caption.
The captions do appear Ok in slideshow so don't think it's a corrupt catalog but then it seems to do same thing withha new catalog.
I've tried running Repair on the installation but that did not fix it.
Any thoughts ?
NB - I'm still within the trail period with around 500 images loaded. Just wondering if this is a "restriction" on trail version

There's nothing "weird" going on here. There are many different bits of metadata (megapixels being just one) than can be optionally displayed both in Grid View and Loupe View (with different displays set for each view), and counless permutations of how to display them. You've obviously got "Megapixels" selected for one of those display options.....suggest you go look at View>View Options (or Ctrl+J) to see the options and setup the displays the way you want them.

Turn all format (data, columns, rows) from english to chinese?

Is there any possibilities that OBIEE report can be turn into Chinese language. I mean a function that can change all english format (data, colums, rows, etc) into chinese especially mandarin. Right now, what I found is that I need to find the chinese translation for all the english terms used in the report and convert them one by one.

Hi,
translating column names can be done using "Externalizing Display Names":

translating report captions can be done by using language dependent captions:

translating data in your tables can be done by snowflaking a translation table on your dimension tables.

Catalog missing captions and dates

Hi,
I've been using various versions of the Organizer for about 7 years, but version 9 has my catalog all messed up. I recently installed elements 9, and when I moved in my catalog about 3000 of my 9000 or so photos are missing their dates and captions. Most of them are ones I scanned in years ago from older family members, not camera pictures. Did elements 9 somehow overwrite all my captions and dates? I've turned off auto analyzer but it was probaly running when I first put the catalog into the trial version of 9. I now have the purchased version running on windows 7 64 bit. I need to fix this somehow, since some of the elderly relatives who helped me date and caption the photos are no longer available to help me redo everything!
I have older catalog psa files saved 3 or 4 years ago but when I try to open these in 9 I get wrong file type messages
I've reinstalled 7, but still get the wrong file type message on my older .psa files
I've tried to open the psa files with Access, but that doesn't work, and so I tried Sqlite studio, but it doesn't recognize my .psa file as a valid database. Can I change an extension somehow to see these old catalogs as a db?
What does write keyword tag and properties info to file command do? Does it write all my captions and dates into a file attached to each photo so I'll never have this problem again?
Is there some sort of utility that would print out my catalog with captions and dates so I can have a hard copy to re enter dates from if this happens again?
Any suggestions on how to get my older catalogs open? Thanks, Lynn

Showing 196 apps in the catalog instead of the 600 plus. For example, Pandora was a pre configured app on phone. It is missing. When I search APP Catalog it doesn't show up, only 196.

How to save, back up or move PS Album 2.0 catalogs without losing the captions?

For years I have saved thousands of pics in PS Album 2.0 with valuable info (plant & animal IDs, locations, etc.) typed as captions. When I try to back the pages up on CDs or copy to an external drive, I save the edited pics, but loose the captions. Now that I want to transfer the catalog to a new computer (in addition to backing it up), how can I do this and preserve the valuable and irreplacable caption, either with the pics or as a separate file?

The Adobe website does not list a PS Album forum, but by googling it, I did
find helpful info how to migrate my catalog to Photoshop w/o loosing
captions and tags. I'll try that; thanks a lot for pointing me in this
direction!

Lost captions when restoring from backup catalog.

Restoring from my photoshop elements 8 backup catalog to Premiere Elements 12 running under Windows 8.1 was successful but for the captions which are not appearing. How do regain visibility of these captions?

Where did the pictures come from - where they taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, saved from emails/websites etc, or where they originally synced from your computer ? If they were taken with the iPad/saved from via kit/emails then they should be in the backup so the restore should have copied them back. If they were originally synced from your computer then they aren't included in the backup so you will need to re-sync them via the Photos tab if you want them back on the iPad.

Weird RMAN catalog issue

I am on 10.2.0.4, RMAN + RMAN catalog + Data Gurad and I am desporate :)
My db crashed with the following:
ORA-27063: number of bytes read/written is incorrect
SVR4 Error: 49: Disc quota exceeded
A look in the FRA showed that it was 100% full. Archived logs take all of the space. I delete archived logs via OS method and then do delete expired archvied log all. If I am connected to recovery catalog while doing this, Oracle DOES NOT delete archieved logs from FRA (I don't see them on diks, but FRA stays full). If I connect to target only and do not connect to the catalog and do the same thing, FRA gets emptied out. WHY???? Thank you for any input!!!
p.s. Here is my delete archvied log script:
#!/bin/ksh -x
# Script to delete archive logs older then 4 days
find /data/archive/PROD/archivelog -mtime +4 -exec rm -r {} \;
. /data/app/oracle/.profile
export ORACLE_SID=PROD
export DATESTAMP="`date +"%y:%m:%d"`"
rman <<EOF
SPOOL MSGLOG TO '/data/app/home/dba/backup_files/archive_logs/PROD_clear_a
rch${DATESTAMP}.log'
@/data/app/home/dba/scripts/connect_nocat.rman
run {
allocate channel d1 device type disk;
crosscheck archivelog all;
delete noprompt expired archivelog all;
release channel d1;
EXIT;
EOF

hi,
you wrote: +"...Oracle DOES NOT delete archieved logs from FRA..."+
If you try to delete needed files (depends on your retention policy:
show RETENTION POLICY;
report need backup;
restore archivelog all preview summary;
) you may have to use "force" option in the statement. Even if they don't exist on disk, RMAN will throw errors.
What is the output of:
crosscheck archivelog all;
delete noprompt expired archivelog all;
P.S. it's better not to delete oracle files in OS if RMAN handles B&R policy ;-)

A (final) catalog renaming question

Hi.
I've just found the following tip on how to rename my LR4 catalog:
(First of all look up in LR under Help /system info the actual location and the name of your catalog.
Then close Lightroom.
Go to the folder and change the name of:
LR 4 Catalog.lrcat
LR 4 Previews.lrdata
to
YourName Catalog.lrcat
YourName Previews.lrdata), which I'm sure works well. However, on my PC the path is
"Library Path: C:\Users\Ole\Pictures\Lightroom\Lightroom2Katalog\Backups\2011-11-08 2218\Lightroom2Katalog-2-2.lrcat",
that is, I suppose only a part of this will be the actual catalog, as I also have another catalog called
"Library Path: C:\Users\Ole\Pictures\Lightroom\Lightroom2Katalog\Lightroom2Katalog-2-2.lrcat
OK, this seems confusing, but to put it simple, I want to keep and rename the first of these, but I'm not quite sure which parts of the name I should change, ie how many back-slashes will have to be kept with the new catalog name. pe
Yes, I see I messed this up a bit. Hope you will be able to help, though.
Cheers,
Ole K

Hi Ole,
As long as you have one root folder encompassing every image you want to keep (such as probably "My Pictures"-folder) it is sufficiently organized.
You will move this folder (As-Is, with every weird subfolder!) to your new computer, along with your real working catalog and previews folder (the latter for convenience - you can let your new computer recreate the previews, but it may take more than the hours of 1 night, depending on the size of catalog and chosen preview size).
Should you have "?" for missing images and folders in LR on your new computer you will reassign the top root folder and everything should be spick&span.
I am not quite a fan of the *big electronic drawer* for REALLY everything, but depending on how much you shoot you should be well served e.g. by a date-folder structure with one folder per month (or even year?). 3000 images in one folder is without any problems, even in bug-times as in LR4.0.
But as dj_paige said, it is not worth while to reorganize the past.
Just start with such for new imports, let LR create these destination folders inside "My Pictures" during import. Then spend your time for other organisation. Ask yourself and the ones around you who may inherit your image data: how would you search for pictures several years/decades ahead? That is how you create dumb or smart collections, assign keywords and fill the title- and caption fields. No need to do much for location keywording any more if you feel comfortable with the map module.
Here is where I have my LR-knowledge from: Victoria Bampton's "The missing FAQs": http://www.lightroomqueen.com/books/adobe-lightroom-4-missing-faq/
Have fun, Cornelia

LR 2.1 Importing catalog from PSE4

When I use "Import from PSE5 or earlier" none of my caption data or tag information is imported into LR.
Is there a way to get the information from PSE4 to LR2.1?

Hey Geoff,
Great to hear from you, as always. :)
Well, there were more un-cataloged images that may have been contributing to the situation. I had created web-rez images for my client within subfolders of the main client folder. Once I synchronized, the images were added. Unfortunately, I'm still getting the error message at the end of my import. Now, the weird thing is, if I import the LR catalog only, it disappears after the error message. But, if I tell the import to include the 'Digital Negatives', which includes all the session files (RAW,PSD, jpegs), after the import and then the error box, everything seems to be there and actually looks fine. At least as far as I can tell. I can see the all the files, the ratings, the keywords, etc. A little un-nerving though to say the least. I'm afraid to dump my original catalog and folders.
FYI, what's going on is that I work on my current client sessions (including all related files) off of my MacBook Pro as my 'Current' catalog. I then have my main LR Catalog (all other images) on a back-up RAID drive. So I'm trying to export from the MBP, over to the back-up RAID LR Catalog.
Again, the 'Export' seems to go fine. Not sure what's going on here.
Thanks for your help and input.

Text Caption options not applied

Hi,
I'm trying to add a text caption with a transparent style.
however when I try to modify font, font size, or color no change is
being applied. If I switch to the Adobe Blue caption style I can
modify color, but not font size. Any idea why this is
happening?

Hi there
I happened across a weird issue just last night that was resolved by choosing a different ActionScript version. I'm wondering if you can try this to see if there is a change in behavior.
Click Edit > Preferences > Project > Publish Settings and whatever it's set to AS2 or AS3, try the other option and see if it changes your outcome.
Cheers... Rick

PSE 8 - Archive on external hard drive including captions and tags

I started my above discussion some time ago with Mark and due to the lateness in my responding the case appears to have been closed. However I am hoping that someone can comment on my intended course of action, see below, based on his suggestions?
Just recapping having successfully migrated my Photoshop Album 2 catalog including captions across to PSE 8 and now my objective is to move my entire PSE 8 catalog to an external hard drive leaving only thumbnail view to remain. Obviously I am anxious to avoid any catastrophe and therefore would appreciate comment on the correctness of the steps involved. I have arrived at these by simply modifying Mark's original steps. Please correct where necessary.
1) Connect my external hard drive where I want to copy the files too. Make sure I can 'see' it in Explorer
2) Open Photoshop Elements 8; click the Organize button on the Welcome screen
3) Displayed in my welcome screen is my entire catalog with each album matching in title and file (photo) content to the folder title and file (photo) content in the folder location displayed to the left of screen.
4) Go to the File menu, and select 'Write Keyboard Tag and Propertise Info to Photo'. In my case most but not all files (photos only) will have tag and caption data. Rather than attempting to select the files that I wish to embed tag and caption metadata does Organiser have a global 'search and embed instruction' so that when it gets a 'match' on .jpg number it will embed automatically?
5) After completion, I go to the File menu, and select 'Copy/Move to Removable Disk...' click the MOVE button to move the files from their current location to my nominated external hard drive.
6) Click the Next button, and select the external drive in order to copy the files to the drive.
Can you confirm?
* On completion of the above steps my external hard drive will allow access to full resolution versions of the file from Photoshop Elements including any existing caption or tag data organised identically to my PSE 8 catalog (only one catalog)?
* Am I correct in assuming that also all original photos from my laptop will be removed and if not can be deleted given their existence on my external hard drive?
* Is the data which now resides on the external hard drive capable of being read on any other PC which may not have Elements software?

I have 2 laptops an aging Dell and new HP. I have successfully followed your
instruction and deleted 1 & 2 below on both.
The Dell PSE 8 now has:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\PSE 8 (240Mb)
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements Organizer 8.0 (502Mb)
C:\Program Files\Adobe\PhotoshopElements_8_WWEFDJ.EXE (1.17Gb)
C:\Program Files\Adobe\ PhotoshopElements_8_WWEFDJ.7Z (1.06Gb)
Giving a total of 2,972Gb
The HP PSE 8 has:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\PSE 8 (240Mb)
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements Organizer 8.0 (502Mb)
C:\Program Files\Adobe\PhotoshopElements_8_WWEFDJ.EXE (1.17Gb)
C:\Program Files\Adobe\ PhotoshopElements_8_WWEFDJ.7Z (1.06Gb)
But a total of 3,894 and I am unable to identify where the additional 1Gb
resides. In Documents & Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Elements
Organizer is 120Mb. I have attempted to delete this but lost the catalog in
the process so had to restore from the Recycle bin and it now appears to
have reconnected correctly. Frankly I can live with these large file sizes
but would like an opinion on their potential adverse impact at sometime in
the future.
I am not sure whether I need to start a new thread for "Are there any known
bugs in PSE 8 surrounding the burning of discs" I have attempted to burn
onto a new CD-RW my slideshow. The process of burning appeared to work but
the written to CD does not play on the DVD. I have also saved the slideshow
as a PDF. I can't recall exactly how but in selecting an incorrect option I
no longer have visibility of projects in 'Folder View'. The projects are a
single slideshow and PDF copy of the same. How do I regain visibility?

Can't edit captions

I have a form that was created by printing an excel spreadsheet to PDF and then we are editing in Livecycle ES - the form fields have been added. However, we can't edit the captions for a radio button group and options like insert Text are grayed out in the menu. Is there just something weird about this because of the way it was created??

Sorry, I did misunderstand the issue. When you import a PDF (created from Word, Excel or any other application) you are presented with a dialog that gives you two options... "Create an Interactive Form with fixed pages" or "Create an Interactive Form with a flowable layout". If you select the "fixed pages" option, a form is created where all boilerplate is representated as an image and cannot be edited, furthermore, only "interactive" form objects can be added to the form, such as fields, radio buttons, list boxes etc. As you have noticed, the "non-interactive" objects such as "static text", and "rectangles"are disabled. In addition, the non-interactive properties such as captions (static text) are also diabled. LC Designer is bahaving as intended, it is meant to give the form designer a very accurate copy of the original document layout.
If you import a PDF and select the "Create an Interactive Form with a flowable layout", the "boilerplate" from the original PDF is editable, and the non-interactive form ojects and obect properties (captions etc.) will be available.
Regards
Steve

Text Caption Box not appearing

HI All / Captivate 4 Experts:
I recently upgraded from Captivate 3 to 4. My text caption box is not appearing on certain slides. I do have a click box on them, however when I removed the click box and played the next 5 slides...the text caption box did not appear.
The slides that I have are meant for the user to click on certain areas with the instructions given to them on what and where to click.
Any ideas???
PLEASE HELP!! Thanks!
Jane

Text Caption appears in Edit Mode but not in Preview Project or Web Browser

I'm using Cp4 and have downloaded Adobe Flash 10 Active X, it's ver 10.1.82.76. I've added a simple text caption with these options:
Timing Display: Rest of slide
Appear after: 2.0 seconds
Transition effect: Fade in only
In: .5 seconds
And Visible is checked
I also have a simple line that I drew with the draw line tool and included an arrow on the end of it.
Everything on the screen works including the click box, the animated text and the failure caption. For some reason the text caption and the arrow are not appearing except in Edit Mode. In Preview Project, they disapper but the click box, failure caption and animated text work fine.
I've rebooted, copied this screen into a new instance of Cp4, re-created these objects on a freshly recorded screen, chosen Order: Bring to Front, created a brand new screen completely from scratch and downloaded the Flash 10 Active X version mentioned above.
They funny thing is, is that the text caption and arrow works fine on other screens in the project. I have 76 screens total.
I'm running Windows XP.
Any suggestions?

Hi there
Can you post a screen capture of what your Timeline looks like?
Odds are your Click Box is pausing in a weird place.

Closed Captioning not showing up at specified In / Out points

Hi all,
I recently upgraded to a trial of 7.2.1 (I'm a *long* time CS user) and am having an issue with closed captioning that's got me pulling my hair out. Upon importing a .scc file and inspecting it in the captions tab, I have all the captions I'm expecting at the proper timecodes (for example if I look up the start of a line in the program window the start timecode matches the "In" timecode listed in the Captions tab).
However upon playing the timeline and turning on Closed Caption display - the captions are not displaying (nor disappearing) at the in/out timecodes listed in the caption tab. They're showing up (roughly) seven seconds later at the beginning of the program, and over 11 seconds late by the end of the program.
Does anyone have the foggiest idea how to resolve this? I guess it's possible it's just a player issue and the issue will correct itself on output, but that's not really comforting. I could do what I need on this job by renewing my license for some other software, but Premiere would be a more versitile use of my limited software upgrade budget - but only if it can actually do the job properly.

Hi Mark and monstremoi,
With all the fiddling I've been doing in raw captioning files the fact that I didn't just try increasing the hight of the track is completely rediculous. Lo and behold, there are the handles! Once I could actually see the captions in the track I noticed something interesting - that the .scc and .xml files are being interpreted quite differently.
If I take the same caption source file and output one xml and one scc and lay them on top of each other, this is what it looks like:
The XML is starting immediately at timecode 0, even though the first start time should be 4:06 (weirdly the scc is actually starting at the right time code in this test, something it's refused to do previously).
If I manually set the offset of the first caption by forwarding the xml caption track to 4:06 we get this:
*This* XML track seems to play out synchronous with the program albeit with some odd formatting (it doesn't appear to be reading any of the font positioning information from the timed text file, it's just playing everything top frame, justified left.
Already though up above you can see though that although the SCC stars at the right timecode, it's starting to drift out of sync less than 30 seconds in - which doesn't make any sense when both have been output from the same 29.97 timebase source.
Monstremoi - to answer you questions, no I've not done any captioning work in premiere pro previously. I actually didn't even know it was a feature until I read about the improvements in CC. Most of our captioning files come from Annotation Edit (zeitanker.com). If they're not prepared in AnnotationEdit / AnnotationTranscriber, we usually do some conversion work through it before outputting (usually to set offsets or whatever if we're adding presentation cards or something).
Happy to send you files to pull apart - although I'd rather not post them as a forum d/l link. Do you have an e-mail I can send them to?
