What's the point of nicknames for reviews if they must be unique?

I just attempted to write a review and was told my nickname taken.

A virtual copy is virtual. It is a record of the processing settings you made held in the database. LR never makes changes to the original files and does not create copies of original files (except on import if you so choose). A new file is created on export with the processing settings recorded in the database. The folder structure is irrelevant to LR other than LR needs to know where the file is on your computer.A virtual copy does not make an actual copy anywhere on your hard drive. It takes up no space as it is just a few lines of metadata recorded in the catalog. Hence virtual copy.
The point is that you may require several different versions of the same image file, different crops, different processing settings etc. These can all be recorded in the catalog and when you require the particular version you export it. On export it can be sent anywhere you like.
I would suggest you have a look at the LR manual through the help system (press F1 when LR is open) and have a look at some of the video tutorials in order to understand the basics of LR

    Hello Pushtheriver,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iCloud storage issues:
    Get help using iCloud storage
    This may also help:
    Understanding iOS device capacity
    You can sync and download many different types of content on your device. Some types of content (such as music and videos) typically take more space than others (such as notes and books). The amount of space taken by an app depends on the app's purpose; complex or graphically intense apps usually take more space than simpler apps.
    If your device is near its capacity, you can remove some of the less used content to make room for more.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

  • What is the point of commit for oracle.apps.ego.item.postAttributeChange ?

    I'm using the Advanced Product Catalog APC (PIM Data Hub PDH) and have a question regarding the business event oracle.apps.ego.item.postAttributeChange
    Does anyone know if this event is raised after the commit of the entire record, or is the actual attribute group row insert/update/delete commited individually?
    The reason I ask is because the rule function that will be fired by this event will need to capture additional item information that could be contained in separate rows or tables and need to know if it will be available at the point in time this event is raised.
    Thanks for any advice on this topic.

    @W_J_T (and MikeChambers)
    “yeah you gotta be good at something rather than no good at anything, that is true. ;-)
    I guess that is why I don’t understand this big push by Adobe to make their users become mediocre in many areas. Can you please elaborate on this point Mike Chambers? Why should I be bad at a lot of things rather then good at a few things? I don’t get it.
    “As far as apps vs fields, the first thing many people wanna know is if you know the required software for the given task(s).”
    On one hand I understand the need to have software skills on the other hand software skills without artistic talent does little good.
    “Why that is I don't know, its rather odd and does not allow people the same ability to only focus on their more specialized sectors like in the past with the Creative "Suites".”
    I understand the problem Adobe had with suites; all the products had to be released on the same time schedule which meant some were released way before they should have been. CC gets around that problem but Adobe hasn’t done a good job at telling why anyone needs all the apps.
    “Did you just wish to have some dialog, or do you have a specific question or suggestion about things? I am kind of confused at this point sorry. ;-)”
    It just seemed odd to me when I kept hearing these Adobe evangelists getting excited about the ability to use so many apps. I came here since I was hoping Adobe could explain why having apps in so many fields that you are not talented in is a good deal. So far I am still waiting for Adobe to answer that question.
    “your passion seems to be solely the design aspect of things.”
    Yes, it is but perhaps most importantly is the issue of time dedicated to learning a new craft. I have a good amount of design work so looking into a career change at this point doesn’t make sense for me. If I changed my career I would have to turn down design work that I currently have  coming in and that would be a little silly.

  • What is the point of Apple TV anyway?

    I must be missing something but I don't see the point of the Apple TV:
    If one has to convert all video, presentation and other material to run on Apple TV. What is the point?
    All these converted videos, etc. don't only take up time to convert but take up unnecessary disk space too. What is the point?
    Surely Apple will make future versions of its DVD Player, iLife, and iWorks, especially Keynote, compatible with Apple TV so that one can stream DVD's, Keynote presentations, etc. directly to a TV via Apple TV without having to "rip" ones DVD's and convert them or convert all ones presentations into QuickTime. Otherwise, what is the point?
    As for movies on iTunes tell me what proportion of the population buy their movies? Most movies are only worth watching once, if that, so most of us rent them for far less than the cost of buying. You can't rent movies for Apple TV. So, what is the point?
    For teaching situations it would also make sense for Apple to make it possible to "stream" the Mac desktop, including running applications to a large screen TV to allow it to be used as teaching tool in lecture theatres, classrooms, etc. I say it again, what is the point?

    If one has to convert all video, presentation and
    other material to run on Apple TV. What is the
    point?
    One doesn't have to convert all video. A great deal of compatible MPEG-4 formatted content (including MPEG part 10, a.k.a. H.264) is available from diverse sources, including Apple's iTunes Music Store. One interesting source you may not be aware of is video podcasts. Just as audio podcasts have become popular as a distribution format for audio content, so too now is the video version. An easy way to sample what is available is through the "Apple TV Showcase," accessible from the Podcast section of iTunes Music Store.
    All these converted videos, etc. don't only take up
    time to convert but take up unnecessary disk space
    too. What is the point?
    Nothing says you have to keep multiple versions of this content on your hard drive(s). In fact, H.264 is the current state of the art in video compression, offering higher quality vs. file size than any other codec. Most people find that even for HD content up to 720p24, Apple TV's 5 Mbps limit produces either no visible compromise or so little that the file space saved is well worth the tradeoff. Moreover, the number of standard DVD's (which use MPEG-2 compression) that contain content that can't be re-compressed in H.264 at <5 Mbps with no losses at all are few & far between.

    Only Apple can say what Apple will do, but remember that there are a number of issues involved here, not the least of which is DRM & the legality of providing software that defeats protection schemes, that may prevent it from doing what consumers would like it to do.

    worth watching once, if that, so most of us rent them
    for far less than the cost of buying. You can't rent
    movies for Apple TV. So, what is the point?
    Not that long ago, most industry pundits thought the consumer market for buying commercial releases of movies or TV shows was insignificant -- that for instance consumers would prefer to see movies in theaters & have no interest in buying them afterwards, or that they would only be interested in rentals. I don't know if you have noticed, but they were wrong ... to the tune of billions of dollars in revenue per year that often exceed the revenue from theatrical releases.
    Some of these same pundits more recently predicted that selling TV shows by the episode, particularly at less than HD resolution, would have no marketing potential -- after all, why buy something you could watch or record for free? Once again, they were wrong. It turns out that some people just like collecting episodes, others are eager to buy a missed episode of a favored show, still others are willing to pay for selected cable content but not for cable TV, & so on.
    At the same time, bricks & mortar rental chains like Blockbuster (the world's largest) have seen profits plummet, prompting ever greater reliance on other products, including in-store sales & their own online services, still oriented toward rentals. Other retail giants like Wal-Mart have tried online rental services, too. So far, all these rental-oriented services have yet to exceed "also ran" status compared to Apple's success.
    Put simply, the point is renting is becoming less popular & ownership --particularly when it is comparatively easy & cheap -- more popular.
    For teaching situations it would also make sense for
    Apple to make it possible to "stream" the Mac
    desktop, including running applications to a large
    screen TV to allow it to be used as teaching tool in
    lecture theatres, classrooms, etc. I say it again,
    what is the point?
    The point here is that products that do this already exist, but the market for them is very limited compared to the one the much cheaper Apple TV targets.
    Put another way, what "makes sense" to consumers (the fabled $100 laptop, for example) doesn't necessarily mean it makes sense in commercial terms, no matter how badly people want it or how well it would sell.

    I use F9 very frequently to see which windows/how many windows are open. Works great! So why bother with this new "great" app called Spaces? What's the point?

    Reasons for me include to help me focus by reducing visual clutter and organise running applications by task.
    I've just recently discovered there is a single application mode for the dock. (Is this Leopard only? I'll kick myself if it was in Tiger!)

  • HT5287 If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?

    If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?
    Or am I missing the bigger picture?

    As long as you have a Superdrive or an external burner/drive, burning, watching, installing, etc. from CD or DVD will work just fine. And so will sharing.

  • What are the points for on my Game Center

    Okay so I noticed that I have points on my iPhone for the Game Center what are the points for?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Center#Points

  • What are the points for?

    I am just wondering what are the points for that you get in this Support community thing for?

    First, not money or Apple products.
    What you get is a "reputation for being helpful" because points are awarded by the OP (original poster) of the thread.  OPs can be fickle ... awarding point to the least helpful answer.  But time will win out if you truly help.
    DO not, please , open more accounts in the ASC and award points to yourself.  Moderators will kick you out (all of your accounts) for that.
    Reaching level 2 lets you "report" people.  I usually only report people who want help explcitly from moderators as you cannot report yourself.  I also report people who truly are violating policies badly such as the obnoxious "anonymous usless poster" who posts the same thread in all of the sub-forums.
    Basically though, reputation.

  • What's the point of recovery partition when I have to DL the whole thing anyway?

    Well I was supposed to sell my Macbook Air today.
    I tried booting CMD-R into the recovery partition and instead it went to some online thing.
    So then I booted Option, into the recovery partition and clicked on Reinstall Mountain Lion.
    Next thing ya know its got me logging into the Apple Store and now it has a 7 hour download.
    So what is the point of the recovery partition if it can't do a fresh copy of Mountain Lion?  What exactly is it to help me recover from?  What if I was in the hills of Indonesia and tried to do this?
    Any now I can't sell this thing until tomorrow as I have a seven hour download wait ahead of me.  Had I knows, I would have let that be the new owners problem.  Or somehow made a backup of ML previously.
    Silly Apple. Always advertising something so great that turns out to be useless.

    The silly part is not alerting the user that when you download and install that the .ESD installer package will be deleted and to make a copy of it.
    The system you download - guesstimates can be way off - check with speedtest.net - is associated with YOU and your Apple ID and the best thing to do is any OEM material and a blank hard drive - and printout of ML Recovery Mode tech article on doing an internet based install.
    Yes you could have setup a 4GB installer flash drive or on your hard drive. Yes they could maintain that 4GB on a larger Recovery partition (it is less than 1GB).

  • What's the point of warranty?

    I am a student coming from Hong Kong  to London for postgraduate study. Before I left Hong Kong, I decided to buy a netbook for my lecturers in the UK. Lenovo s10-2 was chosen because the version available in HK comes with 6 cell battery with international warranty and Lenovo Protection Service (against accidental damage).
    This is the first Lenovo machine for me. All was well and I was starting to appreciate Lenovo. Suddenly, the LED screen started to flick with white lines moving across the it, just two weeks after I bought it from Hong Kong.
    Yesterday, I called the UK support line who initially suggested replacement (because the purchase is last than 30-day old). However, when the agent found out that I bought the machine in Hong Kong, he said I could only get it repairs. Fair enough.
    I packed the netbook this afternoon ready to ship it to the repair center. Being not sure about whether or not my proof of purchase was needed, I called the support line again. This time, the agent gave me a "friendly warning" or maybe a management of my expectations.
    I was told that Lenovo believes that there is a 99.5% chance that these type of problems are due to “internal damages" caused by users! I was also advised that sending the machine in for repairs risk myself getting into paying 230 pounds (pretty much the purchase cost) to get the LED screen fixed because it is likely to be not covered by warranty. On top of that, I would have to pay 65 pounds even if I want my netbook back after inspection without getting fixed because again, 99.5% chance that "damages by users" would be concluded!
    What's the point of warranty? Totally unacceptable. Any thoughts? Should I take the risk?
    I only got the machine just over two weeks ago and used for less than 10 times!

    seblee,
    This bears a bit of looking into to provide you the best answer.   Sometimes, the accidental damage policies are only valid in the home country, and I would like to check.  If that were to be the case, you would have replacement or repair options in HK, but standard warranty terms would likely apply in UK.
    Your situation sounds exceptional, and I'd like to look into this and see what can be done.
    Can your send me a private message with your contact information and the serial number from the bottom of the unit?
    Sorry that you are having this trouble.  Will see how we can help.

  • HT4664 What is the best graphics card for FCPX?

    In the nonstop anti-FCPX propaganda is an article of interest — posted 7/9/12 — comparing the benchmarks of FCPX and PP6.
    http://www.streamingmedia.com/Producer/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=83582 &PageNum=1
    The system used was a 2 x 2.93 GHz Quad-Core Mac Pro from early 2009 running MacOS X version 10.7.4 with 12 GB of RAM and an NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 graphics card with 1.5 GB of onboard RAM.
    In most cases PP6 outperformed FCPX with this configuration. However, in the comments Ben Balser pointed out that FCP X's A/VFoundation engine wasn't ideal on the NVIDA card:
    "Quadro is actually not the best card for FCP X's A/VFoundation engine, but great for CS6's Mercury engine, so the test is amazingly flawed right there. Try both on a 5780 card and watch things drastically change. I've done that test myself. Exporting to Compressor uses a MUCH more sophisticated encoding engine meant for higher level, professional transcoding, not simple outputs, which are faster using Export Media…"
    Apple lists this card on its support page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
    So,
    What is the best graphics card for FCPX?

    Ben,
    Thanks for chiming in on that article. It would be good to have a benchmark comparison with the two systems each with a preferred card.
    I'm hoping to see some other comparisons on this thread. Also, some links to other articles about best practices and configurations.

    0Did you ever have a business scenario where a Numerical column should store values only with a fixed precision and scale ?Lots of business requirements for specific precisions and scales.
    A persons Age may required to be stored as whole numbers of no more than 3 digits.
    A sum of money may required to be stored with no more than 2 decimal places of accuracy e.g. GB Pounds and Pence or US Dollars and Cents
    A unit of length may required to be stored in metres with 2 decimal places for centimetres
    A shoe size may be required to be stored with one decimal place for half sizes
    etc.
    etc.
    Yes, you may just create all of them as generic NUMBER datatype, but creating them with precision and scale can provide additional information about the limitations expected for the values stored, especially for things like reporting tools that may use the specified precision and scale to determine how to display the values automatically (by default).
    If you start questioning "what's the point?" then you may as well say what's the point in having a NUMBER datatype when we can store numbers in a VARCHAR2 datatype? or what's the point in having a DATE datatype when we can stored dates as VARCHAR2 datatype? etc.
    No point in asking such a question because there's almost always a point to these things (and if there isn't they get deprecated in later versions).
