What is the required book cover image size for ePub?

Hi all
I am trying to follow the insturcitons in the Publisher Setup guide for uploading my ePub file to the iBook store. Having gone through this process with Amazon I am gobsmacked by how unhelpful the guidance is from Apple.
It is asking me for a cover image but I cannot see anything telling the required spec for this - on Amazon they tell you min and max dimensions and what the required dpi is but (unless I've missed a whole bunch of instrucitons somewhere!) I see no such info in the guide or in the iTunes connect screens.
Can someone please help me here? After googling I found these forum pages and saw that someone had said the cover image must be at least 600dpi and max height of 740 pixels - is that right? (odd as on Amazon you only need 72dpi!)
Just in case anyone can help here too - my ePub file already has the cover image included in it - do I therefore need to separetely add this standalone cover image?
Really grateful if anyone can help on this.
Many thanks
Karen Inglis

From Apple about book covers:
JPEG with “.jpg” extension (quality unconstrained) or PNG with “.png” extension
RGB (screen standard)
600 pixels minimum along the larger axis. For an average trade paperback, this could be 400x600minimum size, as the books are generally taller than they are wide.
Covers may not reference pricing, the physical edition, or include any other wording that may notnecessarily be true for the digital edition.
Yes, a separate cover file is needed for display. My experience is if you have a cover for Amazon that is 600 px or greater on the longest side, you are fine with Apple.
Step back and take a breath. We all go through this the first time.

What Is The Best All-round Canvas Size For A Web Browser

What is the best all-round canvas size when authoring a swi
for a web browser? by this I mean best for authoring without
scrollbars. I know a chap whose screen res is 800x600 and who has
every single toolbar displayed in IE, leaving around 400pixels in
height free. For crying out loud.
I once sat with a bloke who uses Courier New set at 36pt as
his default browser font. Ouch. I sat there transfixed, not
believing what I was looking at; to this day I have no recollection
of our conversation, so stunned was I.
I've used 780x410, 800x600, 770x540 and I'm going nutsoid
trying to find the best compromise; whatever size I use, distortion
creeps in if accompanied with an "exactfit" value, especially if
the height and Width values are set at 100%.
Beats me.
What are you guys using?

personally avoid scaling, especially filling up user window.
more and more really high resolution monitors out there,
the larger the screen the more CPU it sucks...
Don't follow the exact screen size like 800x600 as it is
never the
browser ratio, must consider the browser chromes.
I will design something within that size or slightly larger
and use the
around margin to incorporate graphics as part of the design.
Sometimes even smaller than that and centralized. Depends on
amount
of content.

What is the best column width & font size for an ipad magazine

I'm creating a magazine that will be shown on the ipad I was wondering what is the best column width and font size to use. If someone has any suggestions I'd love the help.
thanks,

You should know how you publish it and what the technical limitations of each type are.
No one can or will give you any advise to use this or that font. Make several drafts, try it, pass on several drafts to testers and get response.
If you work with styles, it is then easy for you to change it to the best result with a few clicks.
Normally a column width with 37 to 45 letters I would personally suggest to be the best width, but opinions are very different on it. The more letters in a line the less readability is given, the less letters the more difficulty you will have to get an even grey factor. (I mean that through space between words some lines become bright others dark, which does not look so fine, I don't know the English technical term for that.)

What is the PDF (book) file naming convention for iTunes?

I need to re-import my PDFs after migrating from "Windows XP to Windows 7, as the PDFs were not included in the Libary XML.
What should the PDF file names be so that when each is imported, it will reconize the Author and Title, and I won't need to manually
edit these using "Get Info". I tried <Author> - <Title>.pdf, with a space-hyphen-space betwwen Author and title, but that didn't work.
I have "keep iTunes media folder organized" checked, so Author folders are auto-created.
Thanks!

When you add a PDF to iTunes it normally sets the filename as the book name. As far as I'm aware iTunes doesn't attempt to extract any other metadata from the PDF even if it is present. If you let iTunes organize your files then after setting the author and title it will move to ...\<Media Folder>\Books\<Author>\<Title>.pdf.

In EJB3 entities, what is the equiv. of key-cache-size for PK generation?

We have an oracle sequence which we use to generate primary keys. This sequence is set to increment by 5.
e.g.:
create sequence pk_sequence increment by 5;
This is so weblogic doesn't need to query the sequence on every entity bean creation, it only needs to query the sequence every 5 times.
With CMP2 entity beans and automatic key generation, this was configured simply by having the following in weblogic-cmp-rdbms-jar.xml:
<automatic-key-generation>
<generator-type>Sequence</generator-type>
<generator-name>pk_sequence</generator-name>
<key-cache-size>5</key-cache-size>
</automatic-key-generation>
This works great, the IDs created are 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, etc and weblogic only needs to hit the sequence 1/5 times.
However, we have been trying to find the equivalent with the EJB3-style JPA entities:
We've tried
@SequenceGenerator(name = "SW_ENTITY_SEQUENCE", sequenceName = "native(Sequence=pk_sequence, Increment=5, Allocate=5)")
@SequenceGenerator(name = "SW_ENTITY_SEQUENCE", sequenceName = "pk_sequence", allocationSize = 5)
But with both configurations, the autogenerated IDs are 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, etc - weblogic seems to be getting a new value from the sequence every time.
Am i missing anything?
We are using weblogic 10.3

What is the recommended maximum file size for a VI ?

1.) I am involved in documenting a project that includes LabView developed controls for a built from scratch test instrument. The LabView I am wading through involves multiple VIs, many of which are large files that are difficult to decipher. I would like the programmer to consider reducing the VI file sizes by breaking the large VIs up into sets of smaller VIs. What would be a target file size to shoot for?
2.) Is it possible to avoid the use of global variables in LabView projects made up of multiple sub-VIs?
Lost in Code

Probably better guidelines that dictates 'size' of a vi are:
typically no more than 1 video screen in size
is it legible
and is it's function and operation clear.
I have seen examples of '1 vi does it all' that were many screens wide and tall, totally a flustercuck, and nearly 1 MB in size.
Globals and local variables (except for LV2 style) are typcially shunned for they can create a host of problems (race conditions, indeterminant data).
Use connector pane to wire controls and indicators to. Then use wires between vi's to transfer data. I tend to use clusters to hold shared data.

What is the recommended 'file handling cache' size for LRCC(6) on MAC OS? Is there an upper limit at which it has a negative impact on performance?

When using the brush tool at full screen (Fill mode not 1:1) for extended period (10-15 minutes) I begin to experience a lag in screen replenish and often get the Mac beachball. The entire operation of the Dev/Brush tool slows and gets unmanageable. I usually close LR and restart but the problem returns. I turned off the GPU support as that exacerbated the problem.
Image is 21MB Canon Raw file.
1:1 and Smart Preview was built on Import.
Using brush tool at low flow (40%) and density (100%) so there are a lot of 'strokes' applied in B/D of areas of image
File cache currently set at 20GB
Running late 2012 Mac Mini (Quad Processors/I7-2.3ghz/16GBRAM) and with Dell U2415

Keep in mind Video/Animation applications use more ram now than almost any other type and there are far more memory hungry services running in the background as well. Consider the normal recommendations are for standard applications. HD material changed far more than just the need for 64Bit memory addressing.

What is the best Book or online class for Adobe Indesign, Photoshop & the rest in Australia?

Hi All,
I live in australia and love using the creative cloud platform. I would like to further my training both basic and advanced in a few of the services. Is there a good set of books or physical online class (like through Seek learning etc) for Adobe??
Regards,
Sam

You can't beat the online www.Lynda.com online classes.
If you want a beginner's book on InDesign, I recommend Sandee Cohen's InDesign Visual QuickStart Guide (Peachpit Press). For an advanced class, look for Real World InDesign (Peachpit Press).

What are the requirements to restrict internet usage for my users?

Am I requested to install a 3rd party software in order to restrict my users going to internet? Is there a software that comes with Mac OS X server that gives me this facility?
Basically I just want to restrict my users for certain hours during the day, these permissions should be applied on user bases or groups.
Thanks in advance.

Any suggestions or recommendations?
Is Squid my only way to go or there are other applications you recommend?

Hi,
You should use the local rules for depreciation area 01 = local book and
set up your group rules in another depreciation area such as 30 where you can use different GAAP.

The New PS CC Images / Size implementation

Anyone else a little disconcerted by the new setup of 'Image/size' menu?
Its lost one whole parameter that used to be there by default... Now you have to go find it by click on the drop down and selecting inches.... If I recall it used to show:
height Pixels
width pixels
Height inches
width inches
Overall there appears to be MORE information available and more functions one can exercise than the old format. I guess I'll grow to like it better than the old layout.... but first time out... I missed the old setup.
How do others feel abou it?

For reference, this is what the prior version's Image Size dialog showed:
As I mostly think and work in pixels, I haven't missed the old dialog at all.
My advice would be to change your default resampling method (via the Preference settings) from Automatic to Bicubic. Also, if you upsample with the new function, be sure and try the Detail Preserving upsampling scheme. It's the cat's meow.

With Premiere Elements 11, when Publish/Share (saving) a finished video, selecting H.264 .mov file type, what are the recommended Aspect and Codec settings , for a crisp video with a small file size?

Gary Krouse
We will customize a very detailed reply, but
(a) What are the properties of your source media?
(b) What did you or the program set as the project preset to match the properties of the source media?
(c) What specific requirements do you have for this H.264.mov export file?
File size can be a compromise between bitrate, file size, and quality.

What is the best books for MCSA 2012

pleas can you advice me what are the best books and materials for pass MCSA 2012?
thank you.

Hi, HFAA.
I understand you want to earn the MCSA title for something with a version number of
2012.
There are six (6) different MCSA certification titles currently available. Two of them are version 2012, which are Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012. Here is the web page that describes all six (6) MCSA titles:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcsa-certification.aspx
I am going to assume that you are interested in the most popular MCSA 2012 title:
MCSA: Windows Server 2012.
The MCSA: Windows Server 2012 description web page is located here:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcsa-windows-server-certification.aspx
Exams
You need to pass three (3) required exams to earn this title. If you click each of the links below, you will find the exams' descriptions with a
Skills measured section describing what is on each exam. As well, you will see a Preparation options section full of study resources for each exam.
70-410 Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2012
70-411 Administering Windows Server 2012
70-412 Configuring Advanced Windows Server 2012 Services
Preparation Materials
Unfortunately, Microsoft has recently updated the content for these three (3) exams for
Windows Server 2012 R2. These new exams will officially be released on January 28th, 2014 (nine (9) days away). Because of that, all of the previously released study materials (books, exams, etc.) for 70-410, 70-411, and 70-412
will only be partially helpful in getting you ready for the exams.
However, Microsoft Press and O'Reilly Media are currently updating their books to include the new
R2 content and will be releasing them in February, March, and April of this year. The previous releases of their books seem to get the best reviews on Amazon for helping students prepare. Here are the books, with links on Amazon and
O'Reilly. As time goes by, books from other publishers will also be released.
Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=%22Windows%20server%202012%20r2%22%20exam
O'Reilly Media:
http://search.oreilly.com/?q=%22Server+2012+R2%22+exam&x=9&y=15
By the way, I tend to believe the O'Reilly's release dates are more accurate since they are the folks who are actually releasing the books!
WARNING: As of today (01/19/2014), I don't believe any of the three legitimate Practice Test Providers (Transcender, SelfTest, and MeasureUp) have updated their practice exams for Windows Server 2012 R2 - yet. If I am wrong, I hope someone
will correct me.
Focus all your studies on Windows Server 2012 R2 and should be ready to take on an exam. Always prepare for one exam at a time and then take it.
Also, make sure you take advantage of Microsoft's free Second Shot voucher program, which allows you to retake an exam for free in case you fail it the first time. This program will retire in May.
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/second-shot.aspx
Good luck!
Best wishes, Davin Mickelson
