Which option do you use? PSD or TIFF for external edits?

I'd like to hear why you use PSD or TIFF for external edits. Why do you choose one over the other? Do you wish you had a choice, as in an option, when you click on Edit in External Editor?

I did a little reading on this and this is what I have found so far:
Deke McClelland in Adobe Photoshop CS2 one-on-one states:
"TIFF is a wonderful format to use when handing off CMYK files because it enjoys wide support and prints without incident."
He also states "Photoshop also lets you save layers to the TIFF and PDF formats, but where multilayer compositions are concerned, the native PSD Format enjoys wider support among other imaging applications (including, older versions of Photoshop itself)."
Classroom In A Book states:
"TIFF is used to exchange files between applications and computer platforms. TIFF is a flexible format supported by virtually all pain, image-editing, and page-layout applications. Also, virtually all destop scanners can produce TIFF images.
"PSE is the default file format. Because of the tight integration between Adobe products, other Adobe applications such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, and Adobe GoLive can directly import PSD files and preserve many Photoshop features.
Apple Aperture 1.5 by Mike Cuenca:
"PSD: The Photoshop proprietary format is widely used by digital imaging professionals because it supports the storage of alpha channels and layers. Aperture will preserve this extra data byt will not display the layers or channels. PSD files are not compressed, and although they are intended for use within Photoshop, they are becoming more widely accepted outside Photoshop."
"TIFF: The TIFF format is the recommended format for high quality storage of master images. It has a loss-less compression method that can be applied, but more often the images are stored uncompressed. The TIFF format is also the most widely used format for images destined to be printed on a printing press."
Maybe some of this will help

  • Which kerning option do you use in After Effects, and which should be the default?

    Which kerning option do you use, Metrics or Optical?
    Which do you think should be the default?
    How would you feel about us changing the default to Optical and creating a new preference where you can set the default?

    OK. Here's where we've ended up for now:
    One of our software engineers is working on fixing the bug that keeps the setting from being persistent. So, if you like Optical, you can set it that way once and it will be the default for new text layers created after that.
    We're not going to change the default right now. Our thinking is that fixing the bug makes it so that the people who want Optical only need to change it once, and we should continue to match Photoshop and Illustrator with their default. Also, Angie makes a good case that even if Optical is the right solution much of the time, having the default be Optical will cause people to miss out when a type designer has done the right thing and done the pairs correctly for the Metrics case.
    We'll revisit this decision if it turns out that our incremental step of just fixing the bug isn't enough to satisfy everyone.
    Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

  • Which bag do you use for 14 inch wide screen?

    Which bag do you use for 14 inch wide screen?
    I got confused when searching for possible candidates. Almost all wide screen bags are designed for 15.4 inch. Few 14 inch bags are fit only for the normal 4:3 screen.
    Any advice from you are welcomed!
    Many thanks!

    Hello,
    Other brands you might want to look at are Brenthaven, Case Logic, Eagle Creek, EastPak, EZM, Jan Sport, Kensington, Swiss Army, Targus and Trager.  There is also an earlier message thread here in the forum discussing carrying options, and a quick search of the Internet found some messages here, here and here that you might find of interest.
    There really are lots of different solutions when it comes to carrying your ThinkPad, so it might be best to visit a few computer, electronics, office supply and sporting goods stores to find something you like and meets your needs (and budget).  If you do not have your ThinkPad to yet, consider either bringing  a tape measure or a piece of cardboard cut to the dimensions to "test" with bags.

    By the way, I have tried shutting of the display switching in the power settings.  That was basically the only real answer I found anywhere.  It didn't work.

  • Which router do you use for AppleTV?

    So I got to thinking the other day that maybe there are just certain routers that no matter what will not work with AppleTV.
    The only one that I have gotten to work EVERY time and consistently is the Airport Extreme Base Station.
    My gf had a belkin (I don't remember the model #) that no matter what, I could not get it to remain consistent i.e. had to restart almost every day, randomly showed port 3689 error, etc
    I tried the normal stuff, enabling uPNP, port forwarding, etc..nothing helped.
    With the AEBS (which I already had and made her get) everything was fine and dandy.
    So my questions to you are:
    1) If not the AEBS, which router do you use?
    2) If not the AEBS, which settings did you have to set?
    3) If not the AEBS, what is the model / firmware version of your router?
    I noticed many people have problems that are the same things on this board over and over. And I've also noticed that it's usually the router and/or the settings that are causing the issues/inconsistencies.
    This should be an interesting thread and should help steer people in the right direction.

    Airport Extreme doesnt have enuf port forwards for most online games & so I avoided that one.
    There is no limit (short of maxing out system capacity). It may not have the presets you want, but you can configure port forwarding manually.
    indeed, i can confirm this.
    i have many ports forwarded on my AEBS and it is very easy to configure to do so.

  • Which software do you use on the linux or unix platform

    I am learning oracle, so I am wondering, in the real world, which software do you use to administrate oracle in the company, on the linux or unix platform? sqlplus?
    certainly, I think you can also open the OEM GUI in linux or unix

    If you are learning, surely enough , learning any o/s other than windows will help. About the industry, there is not just one player that rules in the o/s market. It depends on a lot of factors , cost being the most dominating one. Linux, being a little less costlier, is surely a good choice for many but so is HP UX or AIX. Without bothering about what is more popular, learn one which you can get your hands on in your learning environment more easily. For example, it would be tough to have a AIX based machine in your home and a linux based would be lot easier. So learn one, ,learn it good. When you go to a different shop, use your previous knowledge and learn the know-hows of that o/s as well.

  • Which tool do you use for load testing?

    Which tool do you use for load testing for J2EE application?

    hi,
    i use jmeter for without issues..
    first make sure that the system from where you are doing load testing is in the same lan(without firewall) to that of server. Here you are testing the capacity of server and not the network bandwith.
    So assuming very good network connection what is the servers performance level...
    If u have to decide which tool is decent enough to load testing,
    i would suggest go for jmeter. its reliable and i have used it without problems.
    Here is my quick tutorial for jemeter which i made for my teams reference.
    REFERENCE
         For Getting Started refer to any tutorial for Jmeter
         You can refer to introduction on
              http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/
    RUNNING LOAD TEST
         Extract jakarta-jmeter-2.3RC4.zip in c:
         install jdk-1_5_0_12-windows-i586-p.exe
         Run C:\jakarta-jmeter-2.3RC4\bin\jmeter.bat
         In Test Plan add Thread Group

              Path:/xyz-webapp/index.jsp
              Use KeepAlive: Checked
              Retrive All Embeded images from HTML: Checked(For geting images inside html)
         Right Click Thread Group -> Add->Listner->Graph Results
         Click on Thread Group Fill details
              No of Threads:3(This means no of simultaneous users)
              Ramp Up Period:1(3 Request will be made in 1 second period)

         Save TestPlan
         Run -> Clear All
         Run -> Start
              Click on Graph Results for Output
         Try adding different listener in Thread Group
              Thread Group -> Add->Listner->Summary Report
         Listeners coud be added at thread group level or HTTP Request Level

         Add a HTTP proxy server in workbench by right clicking on it and selecting Add->Non test Element->HTTP Proxy Server.
         In Test Plan Add Thread Group
         In HTTP proxy server select Target Controller as Test Plan > Thread Group.
         Go to Internet Explorer and go to internet settings and set proxy server as localhost and the port
              which is configured in Jmeter proxy server.Save Settings.
         In Jeter proxy server start by Clicking on Start button in the HTTP Proxy Server Flap.
         In browser navigate the application which you want to test.
         The nodes will be added in the Thread Group.
         Once Navigation is done stop the proxy server and save the test plan from file menu.

         When we have to login into system and then navigate the system
              we need a cookie to be tracked after login. This could be achieved
              simply by Add -> Config Element -> HTTP Cooie Manager.
         After adding the HTTP Cooie Manager simply run the test.
    LOOPING COUNTER.
         When a request is made multiple parameter is sent to server.
         Parameters are sent from the HTTP Request node added in the Thread Group
              in "Send Parameter with the request" table.
         If we run the loop count 10 times the parameters will be sent same in every request.
         If you have to send parameters like user1,user2,user3,user4....
              then add -> Pre processor -> Counter.
         Put start as 1 and and Maximum as 10 or whatever required.

  • Which Bag do you use for your Camera? What about the GadgetBag 300EG?

    Which Bag do you use for your Camera? What about the GadgetBag 300EG?

    I agree - it's all about preference.  I use the ThinkTank Retrospective 7.  I *love* ThinkTank's attention to detail...  everything from having a rain cover included with the bag, to having ingenius use of velcro (sp?) patches to enable you to "silence" the bag so it doesn't make the big "SCRATCH" sound when opening the bag during a quiet event, etc.
    My best advice would be to do your research (which you're clearly doing) and have a clear understanding of the return policy wherever you buy it, and then don't be afraid to return it if you get it and feel it doesn't meet your needs.  A restocking fee is a small price to pay to not be stuck with a bag that doesn't work for you.  And if for any reason you get it and can't return it, there's always eBay.

  • Limit Preview Size. Which setting are you using?

    I'm not exactly sure how the Limit Preview Size preference affects my workflow. Which setting are you using, and why?
    My preference is currently set to the v2.0 default 1/2 Size. My iMac's resolution is 1680x1050, and I'm using the Canon EOS 1D Mark III taking full size RAW images at 3888x2592.
    regards,
    Gregory

    Gregory,
    I use the default (which is 1/2 size) with no ill effects. Previews are used by external programs to gain access to photos in your Aperture library. (This is not the way your external editor works, though.) Your preview size will not affect your workflow. When previews are turned on, Aperture works on generating previews when you have something new of which to make a preview. I seriously doubt that making a small copy, versus making a smaller copy, would affect how long it takes Aperture (and therefore, how sluggish Aperture might appear.) The difference between making previews and not making previews can be significant.

    Hello,
    You will need to set the Pattern Generation Loop Enable attribute to ON in the DIO Parameter VI. This is
