What is the dot gain setting in the US Web Coated Swop v2 profile?
Hey guys,
This might seem like a bit of a n00b question, but I really can't find this info any which way I Google it.
What is the default dot gain setting in the US Web Coated SWOP v2 profile?
Allow me to explain my dilema:
My printer told me to use the US Web Coated SWOP v2 this profile for a catalog we're printing. 4/4 on 100# gloss book stock. However I've used that profile in the past and the prints came out darker than I expected them to. I don't have a high enough quality printer to be able to test this in-house, but I'm pretty sure my monitor is not overly bright or set to an overly high contrast level. They indicated to me that their standard dot gain is about 10-15%
I assumed the SWOP v2 profile accounted for 20% dot gain as that appears to be the default for many of the other color settings, but I've never known for sure. I'm trying to decide if I need to use a custom profile with a higher dot gain setting.
Thanks for any help!

Hello Kenzier,
the ICC-profile US Web Coated SWOP contains a tone reproduction curve (TRC)
which cannot be characterized accurately by Dot Gain or Gamma.
For the entry in Color Settings > Gray we can proceed as follows:
Color Settings > Gray > Load gray > (click on) USWebCoatedSWOP.icc > Save gray
This saves a 'Black-ink-profile' with a similar name, which replaces Dot Gain
or Gamma settings.
This profile can be interpreted by the program ICC Profile Inspector (free):
Here we have kTRC (black ink tone reproduction curve), the red line.
With the auxiliary black diagonal one can read the effective dot gain 20%,
the blue line.
The printer should tell you a profile which is representative (a good approximation)
for his actual process.
Best regards --Gernot Hoffmann

Display the current mute setting in the system tray!
display the current mute setting in the system tray! I hope the developers will fix this issue. THis is only available in jailbroken iphones now,
I know i could use the switch on the side, but most of the time I'm looking on the screen on my iPhone not on the side. The problem is, that a miss incoming callsRight, but the original question was not, "do you think a mute status indicator on the screen would be useful". The question was whether there would be some way to implement one.
In any case, what you seem to be overlooking is that there would be a lot of people who MIGHT need to be reminded of the mute status, PASSIVELY. Its a different cognitive operation, where the device takes the lead and reminds ME of its status, on-screen, (just as I look at it for other status indications, such as new email in inbox).. without me having to remember to think of the mute status question unprompted. I find it totally illogical that Apple left this out. It could be in the bar at the top with the other status indicators SO EASILY.

How do you change the time on the all day setting in the iCal on an iPhone?
I updated to ios 7 and when I want to put an all day event in. When I set it for an alert, it will only allow it to go off at 9:00 am. How do I change the time of 9:00?

That is not exactly true. The default time for the alert is set to the day of the event at 9:00 AM.
So, there are two points to be made:
1. You can change the default time of the alert for an all day event at Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Default Alert Times > All Day Events. But those choices are limited, and all occur at 9AM (on some day).
2. You can make the event almost (but not quite) an all day event (for example, a 23 hour long event), and then you could edit the event to have much more flexibility about exactly when the alert occurs. -

Loading the different result sets in the same sequence for the target table
Dear all,
I have 5 tables say A,B,C,D as my source and i made 3 joins P,Q,R .the result sets of these 3 joins are loading into a target table X but with 3 different targets with same table name.
I created one sequence say Y as my target table has primary key and mapped to three different targets for the same target table which i need to load.
But after deployed and executed successfully ,i am able to load the data from three join result sets with differeent sequence numbers.
I am looking to load data like this.
If First Result set P has 10 Records,SEcond Result Set Q Has 20 and the third result set has 30 records then while loading data into first target it creates the seq for the 10 records from 1..10 and while loading the data for second result set ,it creates the sequence from 11 ...20 and while loading the third target with the third result set it creates the sequence from 21 ----30.
But i am looking to load the three result sets in the sequence 1to 10 but not like creating fresh sequence for each result set.
how can we achieve this in owb?
any solution for this will be appreciated.
thank you
kumarMy design is like following
SRC1
---->Join1--------------------------->Target1( Table X)<-----Seq1
SRC2
SRC3
----> Join2----------->Target2(Table X)<----Seq1
SRC4
-----> Join3 -------> Target3(Table X)<-----Seq1
SRC5
Here the three 3 targets are for the same Table X as well sequence is same i.e seq1
If the First Join has 10 rows ,Seq1 generates sequence in 1 to 10 while loading target1
But while loading second target,Same Seq1 is generating new sequence from 11 but i am looking to load target2 and target 3 starting from sequence 1 but not from 11 or so.
As per your comments :
you want to load 3 sources to one target with same sequence numbers?
yes
Are you doing match from the other two sources on first source by id provided by sequence (since this is the primary key of the table)?
No
can you please tell me how to approach for this?
Thank You

You need to ask the printing service provider. Dealing with color totally depends on the printing process involved and of course the machines used. -

U.S. Web Coated SWOP v2....what is it really called and where does it reside?
The default/generic CMYK of choice is described as U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2. That is also the CMYK space inclued in the North American General Purpose 2 sychronized color setting in Bridge.
But - if you download the folder of ICC profiles from the Adobe website, there is no such file inside. There is one called USWebCoatedSWOP.icc. Is that the same thing?
Also, can someone tell me where the ICC profiles that shipped with my Creative Suite programs reside on my hard drive? I'm using CS4 on a Mac."There is one called USWebCoatedSWOP.icc. Is that the same thing?"
Yes, that is the same profile. Profiles have an internal and an external name and they're not always the same. If you double click on that profile and open it in the ColorSync Utility, you'll see the more commonly used name there.

HT4110 What is the best battery setting for the MacBook Pro 13 Retina display?
I want to know the best setting for the battery for the MacBook Pro 13 Retina display.
To add just a little
Keep it plugged in when near a socket so you keep the charging cycles down on your LiPo (lithium polymer) cells / battery, but not plugged in all the time. When not being used for several hours, turn it off.
And best "tip" is if its near a socket,...plug it in as long as you can (especially at home) since cycle count on the battery are the "miles that wear out the tires (battery)", however again, not plugged in all or most of the time.
http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
"Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time."
General rule to remember of Lithium batteries is:
Never drain them LOW & dont always/often store them HIGH
While cycle count is commonly seen to be the “miles” on your Lithium Ion pack cell in your Macbook, which they are, this distinction is not a fine line at all, and it is a big misconception to “count charge cycles”
*A person who has, for example, 300 charge cycles on their battery and is recharging at say 50-60% remaining of a 100% charge has better battery usage and care than another person who has 300 charge cycles at say 15% remaining on a 100% charge.
DoD (depth of discharge) is far more important on the wear and tear on your Macbook battery than any mere charge cycle count. *There is no set “mile” or wear from a charge cycle in general OR in specific. As such, contrary to popular conception, counting cycles is not conclusive whatsoever, rather the amount of deep DoD on an averaged scale of its use and charging conditions.
(as a very rough analogy would be 20,000 hard miles put on a car vs. 80,000 good miles being something similar)
*Contrary to some myths out there, there is protection circuitry in your Macbook and therefore you cannot overcharge it when plugged in and already fully charged
*However if you don’t plan on using it for a few hours, turn it OFF (plugged in or otherwise) ..*You don’t want your Macbook both always plugged in AND in sleep mode (When portable devices are charging and in the on or sleep position, the current that is drawn through the device is called the parasitic load and will alter the dynamics of charge cycle. Battery manufacturers advise against parasitic loading because it induces mini-cycles.)
Keeping batteries connected to a charger ensures that periodic "top-ups" do very minor but continuous damage to individual cells, hence Apples recommendation above: “Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time”, …this is because “Li-ion degrades fastest at high state-of-charge”.
This is also the same reason new Apple notebooks are packaged with 50% charges and not 100%.
LiPo (lithium polymer, same as in your Macbook) batteries do not need conditioning. However...
A lot of battery experts call the use of Lithium cells the "80% Rule" ...meaning use 80% of the charge or so, then recharge them for longer overall life.
Never let your Macbook go into shutdown and safe mode from loss of power, you can corrupt files that way, and the batteries do not like it.
The only quantified abuse seen to Lithium cells are instances when often the cells are repeatedly drained very low…. key word being "often"
Contrary to what some might say, Lithium batteries have an "ideal" break in period. First ten cycles or so, don't discharge down past 40% of the battery's capacity. Same way you don’t take a new car out and speed and rev the engine hard first 100 or so miles.
Proper treatment is still important. Just because LiPo batteries don’t need conditioning in general, does NOT mean they dont have an ideal use / recharge environment. Anything can be abused even if it doesn’t need conditioning.

Storing your MacBook
If you are going to store your MacBook away for an extended period of time, keep it in a cool location (room temperature roughly 22° C or about 72° F). Make certain you have at least a 50% charge on the internal battery of your Macbook if you plan on storing it away for a few months; recharge your battery to 50% or so every six months roughly if being stored away. If you live in a humid environment, keep your Macbook stored in its zippered case to prevent infiltration of humidity on the internals of your Macbook which could lead to corrosion.
Considerations:
Your battery is subject to chemical aging even if not in use. A Lithium battery is aging as soon as its made, regardless.
In a perfect (although impractical) situation, your lithium battery is best idealized swinging back and forth between 20 and 85% SOC (state of charge) roughly.
Further still how you discharge the battery is far more important than how it is either charged or stored short term, and more important long term that cycle counts.
Ultimately counting charge cycles is of little importance. Abuse in discharging (foremost), charging, and storing the battery and how it affects battery chemistry is important and not the ‘odometer’ reading, or cycle counts on the battery.
Everything boils down to battery chemistry long term, and not an arbitrary number, or cycle count.
Keep your macbook plugged in when near a socket since in the near end of long-term life, this is beneficial to the battery.
Peace
