What is the best size for using a graphic as my homepage?

I am building my website in iWeb
My graphic designer is going to send me a graphic that I want to use as my homepage graphic - I will input some text.
He keeps asking me what size graphic I want (he charges by size)
If this means file size is my answer 72dpi/ppi = the most efficient?
What size should image be from graphic designer? in inches? in pixels? in KB and MB?
Is GIF format is best?
I want this to be nearly the full page size. It will be in Black Red and White (the white being a bright white, the red a deep almost crimson)
I'm a novice. Need good advice for placing this graphic into iWeb as my homepage... Mahalo ~!~

According to Apple, the width of most webpages is 980 pixels. If you request that your graphic designer make a JPEG image of approximately that width, you can then use this free, online tool to reduce its file size without affecting its perceptual quality:
http://www.jpegmini.com
If the image appears too slowly in a browser, you could reduce its file size further (with a loss of quality) via the Preview app:
Preview 5.0 Help: Reducing an image’s file size
Also see the option in iWeb's Preferences “Optimize images on import.”

What is the best practice for using the Calendar control with the Dispatcher?

It seems as if the Dispatcher is restricting access to the Query Builder (/bin/querybuilder.json) as a best practice regarding security. However, the Calendar relies on this endpoint to build the events for the calendar. On Author / Publish this works fine but once we place the Dispatcher in front, the Calendar no longer works. We've noticed the same behavior on the Geometrixx site.
What is the best practice for using the Calendar control with Dispatcher?
Thanks in advance.

HT1229 what is the best method for using a iphoto with an external hard drive for greater capacity?

what is the best method for using a iphoto with an external hard drive for greater capacity?

Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

What is the best subscription for use in US and Au...

I regularly travel between US and Australia. I have postal addresses in both locations and credit cards from both countries. So I can purchase from either location.
I want to be able to make calls to US land lines and Mobiles whilst in either countries. What is the best subscription for me to buy and in which country should I purchase it?
NOTE: I am not really concerned about calls to Australia. I don't make that many and so am happy to pay as I go for the Australian calls.

Probably best option would be Unlimited US&Canada subscription, which you can get if you are located in US.
It will be displayed here: http://www.skype.com/go/subscriptions
If you are outside of US or Canada then this subscription is not offered.
It doesn't matter where you are located when placing calls, but with subscriptions it does matter where you are when purchasing.

What is the best Monitor for Video editing & Graphic Design?

Hi every one,
I would like to find out what is the best monitor for video editing and graphic design that you recomend, I am trying to buy one but not sure which one is good and not expansive.
Thanks very much

I don't want 2 monitors, so a single 27inch model just what I need... plenty of room for PPro, or I can have a Word document and a Text file open and side by side
John,
That is personal taste and there is no discussing taste. However, from my perspective, and that is personal, I prefer 3840 x 1080 resolution with dual monitors over 1920 x 1080 with a single monitor, but that is because I very often have Firefox, Filezilla, Dreamweaver and some other applications open at the same time, switching between the Adobe forums, Gmail accounts, Notebook results from the PPBM5 data submissions, PPBM5 form submissions, MySQL access, phpadmin pages to update the database, the PPBM5 results pages and various DW .php pages for the maintenance of our database and switching back and forth between various versions of PR. I occasionally really run out of real estate with all these applications and could not consider a single monitor with only 1920 x 1080 resolution, even if it were a 105" screen. In the future I would even like to have a four monitor setup (with MPE hardware support) in a two by two configuration, so that I can freely move my application screens around.
If that happens, notice I say if and not when, my preference for a monitor would be something like 4 Samsung F2380 monitors. Small bezel, great display and panel, affordable.

What are the best practices for using the enhancement framework?

Hello enhancement framework experts,
Recently, my company upgraded to SAP NW 7.1 EhP6. This presents us with the capability to use the enhancement framework.
A couple of senior programmers were asked to deliver a guideline for use of the framework. They published the following statement:
"SAP does not guarantee the validity of the enhancement points in future releases/versions. As a result, any implemented enhancement points may require significant work during upgrades. So, enhancement points should essentially be used as an alternative to core modifications, which is a rare scenario.".
I am looking for confirmation or contradiction to the statement "SAP does not guarantee the validity of enhancement points in future releases/versions..." . Is this a true statement for both implicit and explicit enhancement points?
Is the impact of activated explicit and implicit enhancements much greater to an SAP upgrade than BAdi's and user exits?
Is there any SAP published guidelines/best practices for use of the enhancement framework?
Thank you,
Kimberly

What is the best product for using itunes only?

I am considering buying a laptop / notebook / ipad or whatever for using itunes only. The goal would be to add all cd's to the product and then increase my collection via downloads only going forward.
Can anyone recommend the best product for this please? I have an ipod nano and I'm new to the iphone, so I'm an Apple convert, although I'd consider a non-Apple product too (sorry Apple!).
Budget is tight!
Thanks in advance

Without a bit more info, it's hard to answer your question.
How many CD's do you intend to keep on the PC/Mac/iPad as an iPad has a maximum storage of aprox 55Gb's for the top model, whereas even a basic PC laptop is likely to have 150Gb plus of space. Plus you are going to need a PC/Mac to copy the CD's in the first place, unless you intend to buy all your music from the iTunes store.
For me I would look at either a MacBook if you can go to the £1000 price bracket, or look at a MacMini and cheap screen then transfer the music to your iPod/iPhone or sadly from a price point of view you may have to go the Windows route as a basic laptop will start at £400

What is the best tablet for using photoshop for professional editing??

Okay, I know Apple and their ipads are popular. But popularity is not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for compatibility, between photoshop and the tablet itself. I want to get over using the mouse for everything. I'm not quite sure if apple is the best choice. Or is it?
I'm very new to all this tablet stuff. lol Please advise
Oh my goodness. Is the Ipad not advanced enough for a full blown photoshop program?! I geuss I overestimated them. Goodness. It really is just a on the go kind of thing?.... Again. I'm new to this whole tablet thing. So if you guys know anything. Please advise lol. I'm a complete Newbie.

Windiv, 'Tablet' - the generic term is used differently for each context. iPad is a generic tablet. While for Photoshop editing, you need a tablet such as Wacom Intuos - they're 'design tablets' in specific. They have 'full-blown' capabilities with Photoshop and majority of other Professional Graphic softwares.

What is the Best Configuration for using SSD & HDD Internal Drives in iMac?

Hi,
I have a Refurbished 2011 21.5" iMac. It came with a 1TB HDD. I had a 120GB SSD custom installed by Other World Computing. I would like to reap the speed benefits of having the OS and applications reside on the SSD and having most of my heavy, frequently used data on the HDD. I've considered simply going the route of changing the advanced settings of my user configuration so that my home directory is located on the HDD. I've read this is an ok solution, but that there may be better ways to do this to get the best out of the available speed of the SSD. Could anyone recommend better options?
For reference, I use apps like Photoshop Lightroom, the NIK suite of photo editing applications and Photoshop CS6 pretty heavily. I don't do much movie editing or production...only occasional slideshows in iMovie...although I do keep a lot of old, imported, video footage of my kids on my HDD and on my backup system.
Thanks,
Ben Shugart

What is the best practice for using portrait and landscape images within a slideshow light box?

I am trying to create an online portfolio and want to incorporate different sized images in my work. I have watched almost all of the tutorials I can find and no one really seems to address this at all.
Each demonstration I have watched uses the same size of image (eg. all landscape close ups) to fill the enlarged viewing space of the image. But what if all images are varied?
Friends have gone down the Wix path, where images, borders, descriptive text and arrows are resized to suit each individual image automatically.
Is there any way around this though?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

What are the best practices for using Lightroom at two locations

Here is the problem:
Photographer works weekends and vacations at another location with a second (non-portable) computer. Photographer wishes to keep two separate but identical copies of the entire photo library and LR catalog for safety. At the end of a period of work at location 1, photographer wants to take all the changed files (some new, some just modified) and update the LR catalog and the photo library at location 2. This could be done via internet but possibly it is more practical to transport the changes on a "go-between" drive.
Anybody have an opinion on the best ways to do this? Is there a way to just export (as catalog) the changed files and folders and then import at the other location? Manually copying the folders of photos that we think have been changed runs the risk of missing some. Simply copying everything means carrying close to 2TB and this will also take a lot of time before each trip. Not so practical every weekend.
Advice and ideas appreciated.

I had just started exploring smart collections (never looked at this before today) as a way of trying to collect changed/new files and metadata when I walked back into my office from my wife's (she's the photographer- i'm just tech support) and saw your reply. I think this is the direction we are leaning to because it should cut down on the hardware needs. The other reply that suggested using a third drive would add another layer of protection in that one would always have a recent complete backup on hand in case of sudden hardware failure, but we should be able to keep the risk way down by using a second Drobo 2 at the second location. Drobo has been reliable and the slowness can be overcome by saving working Photoshop files to the internal drive and only saving the final finished files back to the library on Drobo.
I am concerned about a possible performance drop if we run both the LT catalog and the file library on Drobos...currently run the catalog on the internal drive based on advice I read some time ago.
So I assume that it is possible to import the "go-between" catalog into LR on an internal drive while copying the "negative" files to the Drobo at each location. Hopefully this process is not painfully slow...but I suppose it depends on the number of files that are being exported and imported each time.
A third method that I have been investigating and would love any comments on from someone who has tried it is syncing the two Drobos via internet possibly using Synchronize Pro-X (first sync done locally!)...this might have the benefit of daily offsite backup in between visits. One thing that scares me is the possibility that somehow something screws up digitally and data is destroyed on both drives at the same time before one has a chance to discover a problem. Also how would one verify that the second location Drobo has been properly synced before arriving to discover some problem prevented a successful sync?
Thank you both for replying and helping me think through this problem.

What's the best size for photos?

What's the optimum image size for the iPod Nano? I'd like to transfer images as small as possible.

I believe if you are only transferring the images and not the full-resolution photos, iTunes does the optimization for viewing so the pics will be small. You have a choice within the iTunes preferences.

What is the best practice for using exceptions ?

hello
I would like to know when to do I have to use
1:
myMethod () throws Exception2:
myMethod () throws MyException3:
myMethod () {
try {} catch(SQLException sqlException){}
}4 :
myMethod () throws MyException {
try{} catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {throw new MyException("error" ,ex)}
}Exception ,ClassNotFoundException and SQLException are just an example
any other exception can be in their place
thank you in advance

hello
I would like to know when to do I have to use
1:
myMethod () throws Exception
Hardly ever. If you can't work out whether this is appropriate or not, it isn't, basically
2:
myMethod () throws MyException
Most of the time, if you like checked exceptions. When the exception can be recovered from
3:
myMethod () {
try {} catch(SQLException sqlException){}
Never ever ever. Don't just swallow exceptions
4 :
myMethod () throws MyException {
try{} catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {throw new
MyException("error" ,ex)}
Opinions vary on this. If MyException is an unchecked exception, I like this. If not, you're just replacing one with the other. What for? Others will have different opinions though, and not necessarily wrong
Exception ,ClassNotFoundException and SQLException
are just an example
any other exception can be in their place
thank you in advance
Any other exceptions? Can you really treat SQLException and ClassNotFoundException the same way? One means there was a database problem, which may well be recoverable. The other? What is your app really supposed to do if it can't find a class? Rarely, this will be recoverable, perhaps. But not usually
