Whats the advantage of using Lightroom vs just Photoshop itself?

I heard Lightroom is Adobe's photo specialty program? What can it do that Photoshop can't do?
Hans V

Read the
b Lightroom
and
b Aperture
forums to help understand what this new
i killer app
category can do for digital photographers. Another good source of understanding is the Aperture tutorial videos at Apple's website. By perusing the videos you can get an idea of what these new
i killer apps
can do.
They are not direct competitors to PS, nor are they simply complementary apps to PS,
b they are in a different application space entirely.
Of course there is overlap among the apps. PS as the world's premier image editing app can accomplish (albeit relatively very slowly) most of the things Aperture or LR can do. Similarly, limited editing is available in AP/LR, or either app will open an image in an external editor like PSE with a single keystroke sequence if necessary. However for many photogs 90+% of pix are fully edited in Aperture without needing to enter PS.
Most photogs can suffice very well with inexpensive Photoshop Elements v6 plus either Aperture v2.1 or Lightroom v1.4, Aperture being the superior app on strong Mac hardware. LR runs pretty well on lesser boxes and also runs on PCs which Aperture does not.
Many PSCS users do use the Adobe Bridge/PSCS/Camera RAW app combo to address the Aperture/Lightroom space, but Bridge/PSCS/CR is a far inferior solution from a workflow speed standpoint for DSLR photogs. Generally folks doing so are PSCS-experienced pros either doing very low volume (the real benefit of Aperture/Lightroom shows up as volume increases, with Aperture IMO superior) or simply reluctant to change. Note that although many pro DSLR photogs often do shoot in batches of 500+, by "as volume increases" I mean batch DSLR captures in a 50+ volume, not
i "processing a very, very large number of files"
or
i "thousands of files. ."
See below regarding v2 which you probably should wait for, but I strongly recommend that every DSLR photog with adequate computer hardware first spend $33 and work through the tutorial CD
b Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture 1.5
(Apple Pro Training) by Orlando Luna and Ben Long (Paperback - Oct 18, 2006). Have the CD and proper hardware configured prior to ordering the Aperture trial so you don't waste time of the 30 day trial. Note that the value is in the tutorial, not in using the book as a manual.
Aperture version is now at v2.1, and a new version of the Luna/Long tutorial is available for preorder:
b Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture 2
(Apple Pro Training Series) by Ben Long, Richard Harrington, and Orlando Luna (Paperback - May 8, 2008). I have not reviewed the v2 tutorial but I have preordered it from Amazon.com.
IMO a cursory examination of Aperture/Lightroom usually turns out to be mostly a waste of time, or leads to bad workflow habits or folks simply do not get it. Carefully working the tutorial IMO is by far the best way to learn this new killer app category. Even if you settle on LR for reasons of lesser hardware working the tutorial CD is the way to learn the concepts of this new killer-app category.
I personally have found that as my own hardware has evolved (Aperture is a terrible hardware hog), and as my Aperture skills continue to evolve, I use Aperture for more and more of my workflow. I find the primary limitations being (a) my own skillset (after thousands of hours with Photoshop I tend to fall back to old PS solutions even when other apps are far superior) and (b) hardware limitations. My own usage evolved from G4 Powerbook to Macbook Pro to (recently) a loaded Mac Pro.
One thing I am quite sure about is the value of Aperture/LR workflows for most (some PS experts will of course always prefer the slower, expensive full-service app that they are already very familiar with) DSLR photogs. The specifics of how each individual evolves his/her own workflow will vary.

Whats the advantage of using PSA instead of IDOC?

Hi,
Whats the advantage of using PSA instead of IDOC in transfer methods?
-Arun.M.D

Hi Arun,
PSA - Persistent Staging Area
IDOC - Intermediate Document
PSA is a temporary storing of all the data.
IDOC is used as a intermediate document to trnasfer the data from one system to our BW systems.
From PSA we can transfer 1600 bytes of data & by using PSA we can edit the data also.we can also rectify errors also through PSA,bcoz PSA is a subfunction of our SAP BW system.
IDOC we can transfer only 1200 bytes of data & we cant rectify the errors if any,bcoz it is not a function of SAP BW.

Whats the advantage??

hey guys, just wondering whats the advantage of using binary trees over arrays and linked lists??

I'd "get you" better if you'd use actual English words and proper spelling, pucntuation, capitalization, and grammar.
Given the following three situations:
1) Unsorted array
2) Sorted array
3) Binary search tree
#1 is the "easiest" to search, in that the code is shorter and simpler than the other two. Just start at the beginning, compare each element in a loop, and break out when you find what you want.
#s 2 and 3, while slightly more complex in the code you have write for the search, will be much faster on average. If you do not understand why, re-read other posts in this thread, or google for "binary search". If you still don't understand why it's faster, ask a more specific question here.
#s 2 and 3 are conceptually identical. They're just different implementations of the same concept. For #2 you're using array indices to repeatedly split the search space in half. For #3, you're using the left or right subtree pointer to get the half of the search space you want for the next step. Note that a given BST implementation could be backed by an array, so that when you call nextNode = curNode.left(); that left is being found by dividing a current array index by two.

What are the advantages of using LabVIEW projects in TestStand, as apposed to just a path to a vi

What are the advantages of using LabVIEW projects in TestStand, as apposed to just a path to a vi ?
I am modifying an existing workspace for a new product, and it seems like more work to add the vi's into a LabVIEW project
does it gain anything in the long run

Hi Rusty,
I wanted to quickly clarify on the integration between TestStand and LabVIEW Projects.
As Jeff mentioned, some of the big benefits of using LabVIEW Projects is to organize code and to namespace them.
For instance if you had a project called "Power Supply" that housed all your power supply code and had a VI in that called "Initialize", and another project called "Temperature Chamber" that also had a VI called "Initialize", both these VIs are namespaced by the project, so there is no longer confusion about which "Initialize" VI is being used.
Now from a TestStand point of view, in prior version of TestStand, we lost some of this benefit because TestStand did not know about TestStand projects and called VIs simply as un-namespaced VIs. However, in TestStand 2010 (released last year, free eval available at ni.com/teststand), we added the ability to (optionally) call VIs within the context of their projects. This means that:
VIs are now namespaced by their project, even when called from TestStand
VIs can use project specific constructs like NI-DAQmx tasks and conditional compilation settings
Note: When creating deployments, the VIs maintain their projects and namespacing, so this benefit holds true for deployments as well.
Additionally, someone had mentioned looking into using lvlibs to namespace your VIs for deployment. Two comments:
With TestStand 2010, this is no longer neccessary since the project itself namespaces the VIs
You might also want to look into LabVIEW Packed Project Libraries, which combined several VIs into a single file. Think of it as a DLL specific to LabVIEW that is as easy to call as normal LabVIEW VIs. TestStand 2010 can call VIs that are exposed by PPLs. In addition, the deployment utility can automatically pack your VIs into PPLs for deployment.
Hope this is helpful!

What are the advantages of using firefox mobile

I do not understand the advantage of using Firefox mobile over just clicking "internet" on my Android. Firefox mobile seems sluggish and slow. I would support it if I knew there was some sort of advantage. What might that be?

Here is a list of some of the features you might like to try in mobile Firefox like add-ons, Firefox Sync, and more:

I'm sorry that it's sluggish on your Android device! We are working on making it faster in future versions.

What Are the Advantages of using Sub VI

I am just wondering what the advantages are when using sub VI.

You use a subVI for a lot of reasons. Just like a sub-routine in text languages, it's code that may be called several times by the main. Instead of duplicating a bunch of functions and wires, create one subVI. You can also use a subVI to make your block diagram more manageable. A good rule of thumb to follow is to keep your block diagram no larger that a single screen. Having to scroll back and forth over several screens makes the diagram harder to modify and debug. Using subVIs, your diagram is smaller. It's also much easier to debug a subVI that does some limited function that trying to debug a large main. It's much easier to test a subVI with a couple of inputs and outputs than one with dozens or even hundreds.

What is the advantages of using Interface?

Hi,
I still don't get what's the advantages of using interface. Reusability? is it the main advantage? thanks in advance.

What is GOF?
Interface is a good program practice when working with RMI (Remote Method Invocation) application. Imagine your anti-virus. When you connect to internet your software invoke a method into your software vendor site and download the new definitions. Now every anti-virus Subscription is different. The method you invoke, will depends on your Subscription. If you hard code the method abstractly, you will not achieve this functionality.
Another concept is that because Java does not practice multile inheritance interface is a goog way to interface into another class.
Example
I want to extends to multiple class which java do not support. I will write an interface i.e I want to extends to FileOutputStream, OutputStream, Object, Integer, String, ActionEvent, Window etc.
I will write an interface like this
interface MyClass {
pulic void setFileOutputStream ( FileOutputStream file );
public void setOutputStream ( OutputStream );
public Object getObject ( );
public Seriable getInterget ( )
------------------- //You get the gist
With this interface you can implement they behaviours
You could say, why don't we just import them. When yo import them you have already hard coded there behaviour. But this way you can apply diferent behaviour throughout you application development. And any class that implement them must provide ways of using it.

What are the advantage of using a passive monitoring technique ?

What are the advantage of using a passive monitoring technique

Hi Plawansai,
I saw your question that is still unanswered.
I believe an advantage of using a passive monitoring technique is that it won't interfer with live traffic, as it does not inject traffic into the network or modify the traffic that is already on the network.
One drawback anyway, is that post-processing time can take a large amount of time with passive monitoring!
A combination of the two monitoring methods seems to be the route to go.

What are the advantages of using Map IDs?

Hi:
I am trying to find out the advantages for using map ids as
opposed to just using the file names for the topics, but I couldn't
find this information in the RH7 Help or the forums. Can you please
list the advantages and disadvantages.
Also, I am describing how I wish to implement the context
sensitive help feature for my application and you can tell me which
approach is better. We make an application that is packaged within
a Java IDE. We want to launch context sensitive help topics from
the wizards and cheat sheets. Now, this context sensitive help can
be either be installed on the local machine or network (file://
protocol) or available on our portal (https:// protocol). We do
have the infrastructure in place to let the user decide whether
he/she wants to access the local help topic or the one over the
internet. Will map ids work for both the scenarios?
Thanks,
K

It sounds like your application call needs to call an online
version of the help first and if this is not available to point to
a local copy. Is that right? If so, how this happens is entirely in
the hands of your developers. I know it can be done, just sketchy
on the actual procedure.
As far as the CSH in the help is concerned, you can use
mapids for both versions of the help if you want. If using webhelp
you'd do well to check out
this
link on Peter Grainge's site.

What is the advantages of using Flexconnect groups

what is the advantages of using Flexconnect groups in WLC?
Reg,
Ezra.

Pls refer this document for more detail about these features
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Mobility/emob73dg/emob73/ch7_HREA.html#wp1091114
FlexConnect is one mode an AP can operate, typically deployed in Branch setup where you do not have a controller at branch site. Those AP can register to a controller at your HQ or main site. So traffic will terminate at your branch switch instead of tunnel back to HQ-WLC.
If you want roaming within your branch FlexConnect AP then you have to put those AP into a FlexConnect Group. Then only key information shared among those AP to facilitate fast roaming.
Pls do not forget to rate our responses if you find them useful.

What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?

Hi All,
I am new to TestStand. Still in the process of learning it.
What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?
Thanks in advance,

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Using the Parameters is the correct method to pass data into and out of a sub sequence. You assign your data to be passed into or out of a Sequence when you are in the Edit Sequence Call dialog and in the Sequence Parameter list.

There are various differences between the two.
1. SQL Server is only Windows, but Oracle runs on almost all Platforms.
2. You can have multiple databases in SQL Server, but Oracle provides you only one database per instance.Given that the very term 'database' has s different meaning in the two products, this "difference" is absolutely meaningless.
3. SQL Server provides T-SQL for writing programs, whereas Oracle provides PL/SQLWhich means what? Both products have a procedural programming language. They named them differently, and the languages are not interchangeable. Means nothing in comparing the features/strengths/weaknesses/suitability to purpose.
4. Backup types in both are the same. (Except Oracle provides an additional backup called Logical Backup.)You make that sound like "Logical Backup" is something more than it is. It is nothing more than an export of the data and metadata. Many experts don't even consider it a backup. I'm sure SQL Server provides the same functionality though they probably call it by some other name.
5. Both provide High Availability.Well, I guess they both have a suite of features they refer to as "High Availability". But what does that really mean? The devil is in the details. Remember, the two products don't even agree on what constitutes a "database".
6. Both come in various distributions.???

If you are going for an Implementation, you can try SQL Server Express Edition and Oracle XE which are free to use.
Then you can choose whichever is comfortable for your needs.

What is workflow ? What are the advantages of using workflow? What are the

what is workflow ? What are the advantages of using workflow? What are the steps for building a workflow ?

Hi Leela,
Your question is very straight question.
Better u can follow these links.
http://www.esnips.com/doc/90b7763b-f9d9-4861-a273-04674b9fe3f2/Workflow
http://www.esnips.com/doc/991843e0-8686-4949-94b9-f45d90081b22/workflow
And i'll give some theory answer for ur questions
i.e.,SAP Business Workflow can be used to define business processes that are not yet mapped in the R/3 System. These may be simple release or approval procedures, or more complex business processes such as creating a material master and the associated coordination of the departments involved. SAP Business Workflow is particularly suitable for situations in which work processes have to be run through repeatedly, or situations in which the business process requires the involvement of a large number of agents in a specific sequence.
You can also use SAP Business Workflow to respond to errors and exceptions in other, existing business processes. You can start a workflow when predefined events occur, for example an event can be triggered if particular errors are found during an automatic check.
SAP provides several workflows that map predefined business processes. These workflows do not require much implementation. For an overview of these SAP workflows, refer to Workflow Scenarios in Applications.
Integration
SAP Business Workflow uses the existing transactions and functions of the R/3 System and does not change the functions. You can combine the existing functions of the R/3 System to form new business processes with SAP Business Workflow. The workflow system takes over control of the business processes. If you are already using SAP Organizational Management, you can use the organizational structure created there to have the relevant agents carry out the individual activities. It is possible to have an activity carried out by a position. This ensures that the respective occupiers of the position can carry out the individual activities during execution of the workflow. This means that personnel changes in your organization are taken into account immediately in the execution of a workflow.
Features
SAP Business Workflow provides a number of tools for defining and analyzing workflows as well as for monitoring operation.
The Workflow Builder is for displaying and making changes to workflows. You can make small extensions directly to the original workflows supplied by SAP, such as carrying out your own agent assignments or changing deadline monitoring.
There are several Workflow Wizards to support you in the definition of workflows, with which you can create specific parts of a workflow. The Workflow Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of the existing Workflow Wizards.
In order to make the functions of the R/3 Systems available to a workflow, you use business objects, which you can define and analyze in the Business Object Builder. These business objects are made available to the workflow in reusable tasks. The Business Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of all existing tasks.
The end user receives information about the activities they are to carry out in their Business Workplace. This provides them with a central overview of all the activities that they are authorized to carry out. They can commence the activities from here.
Several tools are available to the workflow system administrator, with which they can control and analyze the current workflows. The workflow system administrator is notified of problems automatically by the system.

What are the advantages of using an internal table with workarea

Hi,
can anyone tell me
What are the advantages of using an internal table with workarea
over an internal table with header line?
thnks in adv
regards
nagi

HI,
Internal tables are a standard data type object which exists only during the runtime of the program. They are used to perform table calculations on subsets of database tables and for re-organising the contents of database tables according to users need.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fc/eb35de358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm
<b>Difference between Work Area and Header Line</b>
While adding or retrieving records to / from internal table we have to keep the record temporarily.
The area where this record is kept is called as work area for the internal table. The area must have the same structure as that of internal table. An internal table consists of a body and an optional header line.
Header line is a implicit work area for the internal table. It depends on how the internal table is declared that the itab will have the header line or not.
e.g.
data: begin of itab occurs 10,
ab type c,
cd type i,
end of itab. " this table will have the header line.
data: wa_itab like itab. " explicit work area for itab
data: itab1 like itab occurs 10. " table is without header line.
The header line is a field string with the same structure as a row of the body, but it can only hold a single row.
It is a buffer used to hold each record before it is added or each record as it is retrieved from the internal table. It is the default work area for the internal table
1) The difference between
whih header line and with out heater line of internal table.
ex:-
a) Data : itab like mara occurs 0 with header line.
b) Data: itab like mara occurs 0.
-While adding or retrieving records to / from internal table we have to keep the record temporarily.
-The area where this record is kept is called as work area for the internal table.
-The area must have the same structure as that of internal table. An internal table consists of a body and an optional header line.
-Header line is a implicit work area for the internal table. It depends on how the internal table is declared that the itab will have the header line or not.
a) Data : itab like mara occurs 0 with header line.
table is with header line
b) Data: itab like mara occurs 0.
table is without header line
2)work area / field string and internal table
which one is prefarable for good performance any why ?
-The header line is a field string with the same structure as a row of the body, but it can only hold a single row , whereas internal table can have more than one record.
In short u can define a workarea of an internal table which means that area must have the same structure as that of internal table and can have one record only.
Example code:
data: begin of itab occurs 10,
ab type c,
cd type i,
end of itab. " this table will have the header line.
data: wa_itab like itab. " explicit work area for itab
data: itab1 like itab occurs 10. " table is without header line.
