When will be get decent sharpening for heaven sake?

How many years has Lightroom been out now? And we still need to make a roundtrip to Photoshop for Photokit. It's almost 2010 and beyond ludicrous at this point (for this industry in general actually). Cut it out with the extra dingbats and get to the meat of the matter for heaven sakes. I would pay a grand for the package just for the time (money) savings.
P.S. at least have the courtesy to have a "disable sharpening" switch when you edit (export) to Photoshop (just sharpening)

J Ituarte, you didn't make clear which version of Lightroom you were griping about ineffective Sharpening in, or whether you were unhappy with image or print sharpening. You do need LR 2.x to get good image sharpening.
And you may already know all this that follows, JI, but a lot of people who think sharpening in LR2 is still ineffective are unaware of this, so just to be clear, to see the effects onscreen of adjustments to image Sharpening (or Noise Reduction or Chromatic Aberration) in the Develop module, you **must** first zoom the image in, by either clicking in the image so that it zooms, or clicking the small triangle with the exclamation point in the upper left corner of the Detail box. If you move the sliders in the Detail box without making that triangle go away by zooming, nothing seems to happen. The adjustments are still being made, but you can't see them onscreen, which makes slider movement there a crapshoot. The level of zoom is 2:1 by default, but can be set higher in Library module to the right of where it says Navigator in the upper left.
Also, some people don't know that to use Masking under Develop>Detail>Sharpening, you should hold down the Alt button on a PC while moving the Masking slider on a **zoomed in** image. What appears in white as you do this is what's being sharpened. So if you want the edges in a photo sharpened but not areas that should appear smooth, hold down Alt on a zoomed-in image and move the Masking slider so that only the details you want sharpened appear in white.

  • When will we get a fix for the Snow Leopard Compatibility issue??

    When will we get a fix for the Snow Leopard Compatibility issue?
    I am growing impatient not being able to use cross dissolve or titles.
    Its going to be a pain having to back out to OS 10.5. This is beginning to be like Windows Vista.

    You don't say what "..Snow Leopard Compatibility issue.." you're having.
    My titles and Dissolves - and everything else - work perfectly with iMovie HD 6 and with iMovie '09 in Snow Leopard.
    Perhaps you need to revert to QuickTime 7 ..just in case you over-wrote QT 7 with Snow Leopard's own QuickTime X when you upgraded to SL.
    QT7 and QT X both sit happily alongside each other in Snow Leopard ..you might want to give that a try.
    But I have no problem with any aspect of iMHD6 nor iM09 (..and no trouble with "stills"..) using Snow Leopard on a "late '08" MacBook Pro.
    I haven't yet installed SL (Family Pack) on my Mac Mini ..I'll let SL throw away my QT7 on that, and will see if that causes any problems with iMovie. If it does, I'll then download and re-install QT7 and see if that fixes any problems. But don't hold your breath ..I may report back tomorrow, but today I'm pretty busy! I'll do my best, though..

  • When will I get an app for adobe flash player?

    To print crosswords I need adobe flash player and the site tells me none are available for my iPad.  When will apple have one ready?

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
      1. Puffin
      2. SkyFire
      3. Photon Flash
      4. Browse2Go
      5. Swifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

  • When will I get Belle update for 059C9F6: N8-00 RM...

    Hi,
    I have a Nokia N8 059C9F6: N8-00 RM-596.
    This product code was not listed in the roll-ou sheet.
    Please can anyone tell me when can I expect the Belle update?
    I'm living in Coventry, UK.
    Thanks!

    why do Nokia employee's not know how to reply in a way that is concise and informative?
    The original creator of this thread states the product code:059C9F6 and gives a country of origin, where as in your reply you state a code of 0599255 which is not the same (no matter how related internally it may be) and does not help answer anything!
    Secondly you do not state if you are referring to the originators country of origin or to other posters on the thread??? How hard would it be to just sum up that for the UK, updates with be on the 8th Feb 2012????
    Really, this just shows why as a company Nokia is falling so far behind, if you can't even answer questions successfully so people can glean at a glance the answer! Internal meetings must go on for hours at Nokia, which would explain why any release you ever promise is late!
    **bleep**! It's infuriating!

  • When will we get a fix for the poor camera quality that's a result from the ios 7 update??

    Since the update to ios 7, the camera picture/video quality are very poor and the flash has become hit/miss when it actually works.

    My iPhone 5 camera continues to work well after the update to iOS 7. So this doesn't appear to be a common problem? First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    You might also quit the Camera app then reset the phone.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.
    If that doesn't help Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • When will we get a tutorial for iMovie 11?

    I have had to revert to iMovie 9 due to the lack of training for the new iMovie 11.  I am sure that this new program is cool but I don't really have the time to explore and find out how it works.  The tutorial for iMovie 9 was terrific and I don't understand why they would do an upgrade without a re-do of the tutorial, not up to Apple standards!

  • When will Sweden get the new v50 firmware for noki...

    When will Sweden get the new v50 firmware for nokia 5800? Why is our country amongst the last few to get available updates?

    I live in the US. I should be the one complaining! As an American, I'm not used to waiting forever for everything. The US is a large market Nokia neglects. Of course, few of us buy its phones but that's the company's fault for making so many **bleep** models. Many nations don't even get updates at all! They're still stuck on firmware 3. Trust me, you have it good up there in Sweden.

    Then don't use the repair program unless you are actually having an issue.

  • When will there be an update for RAW files from the new Olympus OM-D E-M10 for Lightroom 4?

    Hello there,
    when will there be an update for Lightroom 4 which provides the option to import RAW-files from the Olympus OM-D E-M10 directly into LR4?

    Lightroom 5.0 came out in June 2013 with a public beta for LR5 available at Adobe Labs back in April 2013.  It seems you may have been unlucky purchasing the old version just before the new version came out, or perhaps LR5 required a minimum OS level your computer didn’t have.
    Purchasing a new version every year isn’t necessary, but you do have to buy a new version whenever you buy an unsupported camera.
    Adobe employees need to get paid just like the rest of us, and their releasing a new payfor version every so often is how they get paid. 
    Never mind that the new version has improvements beyond new camera support, so there was a full development-release-training-marketing effort behind it.
    The upgrade price is cheaper than the full purchase price and if you want Photoshop capabilities, there is a LR+PS Photographer’s Bundle that is half the price of purchasing Photoshop, itself:

    Ive been waiting so long and been drooling at what the 40.0 update is bringing! When will you guys release it for us please i want to experience how good my 5800 can be.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Vanilla phones in the Philippines usually get the firmware like one or two months late compared to Europe, so if schedule clicks, you should get it this month or the next.

  • I keep getting ' user not register for online ' when trying to get track names for my CD imports for Windows 7

    I keep getting ' user not register for online ' when trying to get track names for my CD imports for Windows 7 and I'm unable to find a solution.

    I can't be certain exactly which steps are going to be needed in each case, but if you work through this in sequence hopefully one of the steps will prove effective.
    First try this:
    With iTunes closed.
    Press the WinLogoKey+R
    Type in %appdata% and press return
    Double click on Apple Computer
    Double click on iTunes
    Delete the file CD Info.cidb
    Start iTunes and try again.
    If that doesn't work close iTunes and try deleting com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist in the same folder.
    If that doesn't work close iTunes and try deleting iTunesPrefs.xml. This will reset your some of your preferences in iTunes so be sure to check them and reset as required.
    If that still hasn't resolved things close iTunes and try deleting the entire %appdata%\Apple Computer folder or look for parallel files/folders in the C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local or C:\Users\<User>\AppData\LocalLow in case a corrupt file is persisting there.
    Note that any iOS device backups are stored in the MobileSync folder within Apple Computer. Once things are working you should backup your devices again as soon as possible.
    Or it might not be the preference files after all...
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
