What is the rationale behind the "Adobe Standard" color calibration profile?

Hi! I'm trying to figure out how to make the most of the various color calibration profiles Adobe offers for my cameras with Lightroom 5. I do understand the purpose of the camera-specific options--they're designed to help approach camera JPEG processing mode colors. And they work wonderfully--they're very helpful!
But I don't really understand the purpose of the "Adobe Standard" calibration option. What is it for? Why does it look the way it looks? Has it been designed to ease certain processing goals? To enhance certain colors or tonal combinations? Is it designed to be more accurate than the manufacturer profiles in some way? What can I do with "Adobe Standard" that I can't do with one of the camera-specific calibration options?
I would find it *extremely* helpful if someone who's involved with the engineering behind Lightroom's color (or anyone else who's especially knowledgeable about Lightroom's design) might talk a little bit about why "Adobe Standard" looks the way it looks. What's it for? To what purposes can I leverage it?
Thanks so much!

Adobe Stadnard is the name for the individual profiles Adobe builds for each camera it receives. A new camera ships, Adobe gets their hands on one and builds a profile with that sample. It isn't suppose to mimic the in-camera JPEG settings, I don't believe it's supposed to mimic anything but instead produce what is (and quotes are super important in this context) the most 'accurate' color response from the target they use to create the profile. But here's the rub. Not all cameras from the same make and model behave identically. Adobe simply can't get piles of the same body and build then average that response. So they provide a means for you to build your own custom DNG camera profile and for differing illuminates. So if you want to leverage it, you'd get a target (MacBeth 24 patch, X-rite Passport) and build your own custom profile. It can really help depending on how your sensor deviates from the sensor Adobe got to build their profiles.

I need a table of the different features for Adobe Standard 9, 10 and 11?

I need a table of the different features for Adobe Standard 9, 10 and 11 so that can advise my client which version can be packaed and deployed via SCCM. A detailed list of features for each version would be most useful.

In CRM 2007 what is the code behind the Navigation bar?.

In CRM 2007 what is the code behind the Navigation bar?.
Jason

It might be in component CRMCMP_NAVBAR. However, so far I have been unable to get a break point to activate. Ideally on choosing an option from the navigation bar, like Service ticket, I would like the debug session to start before call the Service Ticket component.
This is all in the aim of trying to determine why the initial startup of the Service Ticket is so slow.

Even with Apple Quick Time 7.7 I cannot open, much less play, any wmv files. It gives me only the code behind the file, never the video. What's going on?

I never have been able to open wmv files/attachments with the Apple Quick Time player I've got on this MacBook Pro. A click on any wmv file leads me only to Text/Edit and all the code behind the file. What is going on? I have Quick Time 7.7 (1680.25).

Those are Windows Media files, and they're not supported natively in any version of QuickTime. You can view them in some third-party applications, such as VideoLAN Client, or you can install the Flip4Mac QuickTime component which makes them playable in QT Player.

hauntnh,
I assume you're referring to the fifth video, "Add a title to your video." Did you drag the title to the V2 track, as explained at 2:33 in the video? Also, if your main video in the V1 track is not sitting below your title clip in V2, you won't see the video behind the title because there won't be anything behind your title.

Is there a way to make comments "move to the back", behind the text and lines?

Is there a way to make comments "move to the back", behind the text and lines?
I am using Acrobat X Standard to "highlight" lines using comments lines at 12pt width and 50% opacity on DWG files converted to PDF. The opacity setting makes the text and lines readable behind the highlighting, but the colors do not print well. Moving the highlighting behind the existing text and lines would allow me to use 100% opacity with more vibrant colors.
Before, we highlighted by hand, but those colors do not scan or copy well. Digitizing the highlighting is cleaner, and can be edited without starting over. The "comments" lines can be applied by Acrobat Reader, Acrobat Standard, and Acrobat Pro, so there's an advantage. Even more important is that the average file size of an 11x17 print that is highlighted and scanned in color is 1000 KB, while doing it this way, they tend to be 100-150 KB, and the text remains searchable. If there's another system that people use, I'm open to that instead. I haven't looked in to doing the highlighting in AutoCAD.
Naturally, everything I'm doing is protected, and cannot be shared, sorry.
Thanks.

No, that's not really an option.

Possible to find the Table behind the form

My question is Is it possible for the DBA to find the table behind the form.
actually when i input the data from front end i want to know how can i found which table as updated.

behind the form.Form as in front-end GUI sort of thing? Most DBAs of my acquaintance wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry at such a request. Seeing as how it confirms all the prejudices at the cluelessness of developers.
The short answer is No. That's why we are supposed to document our applications. However, if you get a sympathetic DBA they might be prepared to track your session and find out what SQL you're issuing. It's then a question of co-ordinating your Form usage with what they see in the database.

When I apply a wallpaper only to the lock screen the shadow behind the slider disappears.

Since i updated to iOS 4.3 i have this issue. When I set a wallpaper to both home screen & lock screen the shadow behind the slider appears, but if i set a background to eighter lock or home screen, the shadow disappears. Is there a way I can fix this?

Well, i noticed this "issue" on my iPhone (4S, iOS 5.1.1) today. And since I found it also on my other iPhone (3GS, iOS 5.1), I think that it is not an issue but intention.

Freezing projector image while working with the computer behind the freeze

Hi!
I want to write a program that can freeze the image (screen) sent to the projector so that I can change things in the application behind the freeze before sending the new image instead. Where do I begin? Is there a way to control projectors?
/ D

Unless you are talking about some sort of special device (although I don't know of any) most projectors simply display whatever is on the screen. So if you try to bring up another window to work with, for example, it will also appear on the projector's output.
You may be able to do something using a split screen-type setup where one screen displays the intended projector output and the other is for your control. I have never tried this but am pretty sure it can be done in Java because I have seen references to it before. The trick would be getting the projector to display the appropriate screen, I suppose.

Any application to colour the screen behind the keypad of the phone call numbers ?

Hello, please need help.
With ios7 newly downloaded, is there any function to change the coulour of the screen behind the keypad of the phone call numbers.
Its too much white actually and unseenable while outsite or in day light.
Thank you for you help. ? Ci Kay

Note that this simply identifies the device, not the user. So if a user sells or gives away his device if you use this mechanism the new owner will be able to access anything from the old owner.
Additionally, you also need to handle device replacement-- i.e. owner takes device in for repair, gets a new device how do you disassociate the information from the old device and associate it with the new device and ensure that whomever gets the old device as a refurb does not have access.

Aptus II 8 Adobe Standard color profile missing from LR3.5?

I was wondering, several versions ago, (2.7 I believe) the Leaf Aptus II 8 aka Leaf Aptus 40 was added to the list of supported cameras. My version of Lightroom 3.5 (MacOs 10.6.8) can read these files, however there is no Adobe Standard color profile for this back. When I go to the calibration tab it just shows embedded. These files are uncompressed .mos files and not jpegs or tifs. With my Leaf Aptus 75 I use the Adobe Standard profile and like it. Is this a bug or just an unsupported feature of the Aptus 40?

Thanks, that sounded like a good idea and it got me thinking. Why not trash the profile and import it from another computer. Doing that I found that the file sepraratly downloaded on another computer has the same problem so I can't move it over. The other computer is OS 10.5 Leopard whereas mine is 10.6 Snow Leopard. This leads me to believe that this is an Adobe issue.
Would any other Mac LR3 users please go to Library>Application Support>Adobe>Camera Raw>Lens Profiles>1.0>Canon and see if there is an "exec icon" next to the file named...... Canon EOS 5D Mark II (Canon EF 16-35mm f2.8 L USM) - RAW.lcp
I'd appreciate it and it will help isolate the problem.
Thanks

OC4J / OAS 11g - What is the story behind the release?

We are heavily investing in the Java framework known as Seam which is heavily Java 1.5 reliant. As you're probably aware, 1.4 compatibility was added to OAS as of 10.1.3; meanwhile, the OC4J11 has been in technology preview for over a year. With Oracle's acquisition of BEA and other things - does anyone know what the story is behind 11g AS? Will we ever see it? Will Oracle simply re-brand BEA's products as their own? Oracle is quickly falling behind the Java development/deployment gap; how much longer is OC4J11 going to be a "preview" before they give it the go-ahead for a release?
Thanks.

You can also check thread Re: OC4J 11 / JDeveloper 11g Production Release? - Oracle Support has replied to me that Fusion Middleware 11g that contains OC4J 11g is "still not ready to be released".

X-Fi Elite Pro - What are the inputs behind the soundcar

Hi,
I recently bought the Razer Barracuda headset with 5. input connectors. Behind my soundcard i can see the symbol for microphone but the other inputs says? ,2,3,4 and has speaker symbols on em. How do i know which one is for sub and so on ? I cant see anywhere on Creatives website where it says what they are for. Dont know what order these cables from the headset needs to be in. Anyone who can help?

Avean,
On the Support page, under Product Documentation, you can find manuals for the products that contain details like these. I have snipped the relevant bit for you though and attached it in an image here, it shows which connection is which.
Hope that helps,
