Which color mode in psd cs4 is best to use for 2-color project, grayscale or cmyk?

The project is a photo montage. It was 4-color, now must become 2 colors.
So I've changed each of the original 4-color photos (jpg and eps) into separate psd files (as grayscale/duotone/montage-and assigned it One pantone color)
In a new psd "montage" file, I plan to place each photo on its own layer, adjust tints, transparency, etc, to create one new montage/flattened.
I'm not sure which color mode is best when setting up this new file, CMYK or grayscale?
Once the PS doc is done, the job will be saved as a PDF for 2-color printing.
I want to insure the 2 pantone colors separate properly at press.
any advise how how to best achieve this?

Yes it is possible in InDesign. You will have to judge whether you feel more proficient in doing something new in Photoshop or in InDesign.
If you restrict this to being done in Photoshop, you just need to change the color mode to duotone and export the PDF file with the 'high quality print' profile or similar. Some other PDF settings may convert your duotone to a regular CMYK or RGB image.

I second what Kate Li said. There's no need for a registry cleaner! Don't do it! I run Windows systems for years and they keep running as light and fast as when they're new.
What I *do* recommend is regularly reviewing the list of programs set to run in the background using a tool to show you what starts in various ways called Autoruns, which can be found here:

This tool can be used to disable things you don't need.

Convert to RGB Color Mode (Windows XP/CS4)

It appears I have to change an image from indexed color mode to RGB mode. Can someone please tell me how to do that? Thanks!

Image > Mode > …
But if a photograph is "Indexed Color" it is likely not very good quality and you might want to try getting the proper source material.

Which image file type is best to use for iTunes artwork?

I have quite a few songs in my library which do not have any official artwork available for them, so I have used other images and altered them in Photoshop by adjusting colours and creating transparent backgrounds.
Re: transparent backgrounds, I saved the manipulated image as a PNG file and sure enough the artwork displayed with a transparent background in Coverflow, which of course looks great.
But after shutting down my machine and restarting it and iTunes, the artwork with the backgrounds which I thought I had edited reverts to having a solid background.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

Yes it is possible in InDesign. You will have to judge whether you feel more proficient in doing something new in Photoshop or in InDesign.
If you restrict this to being done in Photoshop, you just need to change the color mode to duotone and export the PDF file with the 'high quality print' profile or similar. Some other PDF settings may convert your duotone to a regular CMYK or RGB image.

Which 2.6.x kernel is best to use for a desktop?

Hey Everyone,
Does anyone know which 2.6.x kernel is best to use? Is there a difference between the ARCH, standard, mm, and ck kernels, even as I recompile them with different settings via menuconfig?
I know that 2.6.11 final is out from www.kernel.org, but for the rest...I have no idea where to find the ARCH kernel, it's not in the repositories, only mm appears to be

There is no best kernel, it depends on what you want. As for what the differences are between those different patchsets, just read all about them on their site.
Arch uses the -as, a security fixes only patchset. ck uses -as as base and has some other things (different cpu and io schedulers for instance). -mm if the main testbed for kernel changes and the least stable one. If you're lazy you should simply use Arch's default kernel and not bother about it. If you want your custom kernel then just pick one and use it.

Best storage solution for FCP HDV projects?

What is the best storage solution for Final Cut Pro HDV projects (i.e. internal or external drives, SCSI, external firewire drives, etc.)?

Don't forget you can also use the "Send to Tape" command to send your footage back to miniDV HDV tape. This isn't the ultimate solution, but is a good way to cheaply "backup" large projects to inexpensive tape without killing your drive storage with every project.
Here's a new feature request for Media Manager... Forget that. I'll start a new post for it.

Best DVD quality for 136 minute project

Hello!
I am putting together DVD's for a show from a local theatre. The runtime is around 136 minutes HD video shot with a Sony HDR-HC3.
I did a rough copy to give to the director and used the 120 minute DVD settings in compressor. The quality was terrible and definitely not what i want for the final project. The HD video looks really good, and i've seen HD to SD DVD's still look pretty darn good on a decent TV.
So what is probably by best option for exporting into DVD Studio? If you need any other details please let me know.
Thanks

what frame rate is your original material and what is the frame rate of your sequence? If your original material is 23.98 fps, make sure you maintain that frame rate thru your workflow. Adding compression markers in fcp around sections that have a lot of movement or are particularly complex may help. Just make sure you include compression markers when you export to compressor.
Also, deleting all renders and sending to compressor from within fcp may give you a bit more quality.
And using a dual layer dvd will allow you to compress at a higher quality. Unfortunately burned dual layer dvd's may not be as compatible as replicated dvds.

HT1040 What color profile on my iMac is best to used when ordering prints from Apple?

I am accustom to printing my photographs. After two disappointing HP B9180 printers, and way too much money in ink and paper, I am considering producing my prints primarily by ordering them through Apple Print Services.
This being said, what color profile should I use on my iMac to best match the color profile used by Apple Print Services? Secondly, do I lose anything by editing my photos in PhotoShop, importing into iPhoto, and ordering through Apple?
Thank you for any insight.

This might be of help to you:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

I have 4 and 8 - but which is the BEST version to use for a big project?

I have a G4 Powerbook with iMovie 4.0 but have never been able to do a movie longer than about 35 minutes (the last step - burning it?). I also have access to a new Intel iMac that has iMovie 8.0 but I have heard this is a 'dumb' version. I have an important video project coming up - probably 60 minutes when all is said and done. Can I install 5.0 or 6.0 on the new iMac? Or should I get new software (Final Cut Express?). I don't know that I trust the Powerbook to pull this off but I do know the program. Any help advice, most welcome. Thank you! Lee

You can download iMovie 6 here (requires iLife '08)
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html
iMovie 4 is capable of handling long projects. If you run out of hard drive space, that is a limitation. DV is 13GB per hour.
Or does your iMovie projects consist of an incredible amount of very short clips? iMovie 4 handles up to 999 clips or 999 still.
Why do you still run iMovie 4.0, when there is a free update to 4.0.1? (Or it was just a typo?)

Is there a way to switch back to the old color scheme for the keypad? The new black-on-white color scheme is more difficult to see and use for the visually impaired.

Is there a way to switch back to the old color scheme for the keypad? After upgrading to ios 6, the keypad switched to a black-on-white color scheme. I have a severe visual impairment and found the previous white-on-black color scheme much easier to see and use.
The inverted colors option doesn’t make things look all that better. My dad, who does not have any serious vision problems, has put off upgrading his iphone because of the color scheme changes.

I have exactly the same concern. It seems it would be a simple fix for Apple to allow users to turn off the camera (and even the mic) while keeping FaceTime open -- especially now that it turns out FaceTime must remain open in order to send and receive iPhone calls on a Mac.
I like to think this new functionality of FaceTime will be baked into a future release of Yosemite, as the current setup has that not-quite-finished feel of a work in progress. In the meantime, there's nothing like a little piece of Post-It stuck over the camera to keep the NSA from watching your face as you type a post to the Apple Support Communities.

What's best to use for 10G Trunk Cabling

We are going to purchase a WS-C3850-12S-E fiber switch and trunk it to a WS-C3850-24T-E over 10G module add-ons. The vendors are throwing out different options for cabling which is making me double guess myself.
Option 1: 1 SFP+ Active Optical Cable (cable with SFP+'s built in)
Option 2: 1 SFP+ Active Twinaxial Cable (cable with SFP+'s built in)
Option 3: 1 SFP+ Passive Twinaxial Cable (cable with SFP+'s built in)
Option 4: 2 10G SFP+ modules with separate optical cable
We do not run any other active fiber cabling so I think I can eliminate those options, Option 4 is the most expensive but is typically what I do when trunking with 1G fiber.

The statement in BLUE and the statement in GREEN contradict themselves.
Whether or not you want 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps, fibre is the way to go. What is missing is the distance between the two switches as long-haul fibre optic modules are double the price of a short-haul fibre optic modules.
Another thing missing is the "thickness" of the cable. A lot of fibre optic installers will try to give the cheapest option (if you don't know what you're asking for) so this means OM1 for short-haul or OS1 for long-haul.
Personally, I would NOT touch a fibre link of OM1 or OS1 category. For long-haul, it's got to be OS2 or none at all. For short-haul fibre optics, it's OM4 for future-proofing (10- or 40 Gbps).
