Bridge vs Lightroom - Which do you use?

I just subscribed to Creative Cloud am am learning how to use both Bridge and Lightroom. I've been using Apple's Aperture program to organize images, but I want to see how Lightroom stacks up and perhaps switch.
I have so many things to figure out, it's going to take a while. But one question I'd like to as on this forum is whether you, as a web designer, use Bridge or Lightroom to organize your images.
I'm currently using Aperture to organize sort of a base library of images that haven't been processed for a website. If I select one of these images (from Aperture or Lightroom), open it in Photoshop and save it for the web - as Animal.jpg, for example - then I figured I'd use Bridge to organize Animal.jpg.
But someone on the Lightroom forum told me that would be confusing; I should use one program or the other.
So I just wondered which program you use. I haven't yet figured out exactly how they overlap and what the pros and cons of each program are.
Thanks.

I use Bridge for previewing quite a bit with Photoshop.
Use whatever works best for YOU.

B2B software package you use for AS2

Hi All,
We are using Oracle 10G B2B. We are adding a new supplier. Our new supplier asks " what is your B2B software package you use for AS2"
I said " Application server integration B2B of version 10.1.2.3.0", then immediately he replied
"I could not find Oracle Application Server Integration B2B 10.1.2.3 listed on the Drummond Group website for AS2 interoperability certification. Would the software package be listed under another name?"
Could you please help us to reply his question..

Hi,
Ask your supplier to check the AS2-3Q05 report of Drummond group. It is available at below link -
http://www.drummondgroup.com/html-v2/as2-archive.html
You can find Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2) listed here. Also give him the refernce of below doc -

Which tool you use for your datamodel?

Which tool you use for your datamodel?
To show your tables with pk and fk and all.
designer
jdev
other?

I am using ERwin® Data Modeler r7.1 (7.1.1.1207). It supports most new features of Oracle 10g such as hash, list, composite hash, setting LOB storage properties etc.
We just upgraded from version 4 recently. In the old version, I had to manually modify the generated scripts.
ERWin r7 supports all Oracle 10g (Release 2) new features we need for our projects. It offers far more functionality and options than the old version. It supports all partition types in Oracle 10g: Range, Hash, List, Composite-Hash and Composite-LIST and offers more storage settings.
Another nice new feature of ERWin r7 is that it offers purge option in the DROP TABLE statement. In Oracle 10g, the recycle bin contains all the dropped database objects until you permanently drop them with the PURGE option. Otherwise, you will see many funny looking objects like this: 'BIN$0+ktoVChEmXgNAAADiUEHQ==$0'.
With the purge option, you don't need to purge the recycle bin after the forward engineering.

Which package is use for call jni

i call jni from java bean.
so which package is to be used
is there any
java.jni.*; --> ???

JNI is used to extend the functionality of the Java Virtual Machine through native code. Packages are used as a way of physically separating Java code in a logical fashion.
As the native code is not part of your Java code, it has no package, in fact any libraries (be it win32 dll's or another breed) are unlikely to be on your classpath at all. They have to be in your PATH (win32) or LD_LIBRARY_PATH for linux/unix. Have a read of the JNI tutorial on here, it is a great way to get you started.

How do you use a dmg file image to download windows through boot camp?

after reaching my limits in finding the answer to this problem/question i have, i finally decided to post it for everyone to feel my pain
so i dont know if i would be spanked or something but i downloaded a windows xp sp3 from the internet through torrent
it was originally an iso file so i changed it to a dmg by using disk utility
now heres the problem:
after that, i opened the dmg file image and mounted the virtual drive
then when i started up the boot camp installation and clicked the "Start Installation" after about fifteen seconds it said that it couldn't find any disk installers!
AARRGG
it would be awesome if someone could help me
and this other question that i did not mention above is:
when you run windows xp on Parallels, is it slower than when you use windows on a PC or through boot camp?
thanks and hope you have a nice day

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
so i dont know if i would be spanked or something but i downloaded a windows xp sp3 from the internet through torrent
I don't spank you for that but I also don't comment on it as maybe this post will be deleted soon !
it was originally an iso file so i changed it to a dmg by using disk utility

The BootCamp Assistant requires Windows to be on a bootable CD/DVD and will not work with any kind of images, iso or dmg.
when you run windows xp on Parallels, is it slower than when you use windows on a PC or through boot camp?
Yes, since it is not running 'natively' , using the real hardware, but it is running on a virtualized environment.
How much slower really depends on the kind of programs you use in Windows, with typical Business/Office programs you might not even notice any slower performance, but with programs that depend on having access to the 'real' hardware, you will notice the slowness often right down to be un-useable.
thanks and hope you have a nice day

How are the Apps Store and iTunes store different? Which do you use for what?

Can you explain the difference between Apps Store and iTunes store? Is Apps a subset of iTunes store? To which store do you go for what?

Apps you buy from the Mac App store can be used on your computer. You use the same Apple ID as the iTunes Store, but that's the only connection.
Apps you buy from the iTunes App Store are written to run on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch). They won't run on your computer, only on your iDevice.

Share Geotagged Photos: Flickr, Picasa or Panoramio? Which do you use?

I've gotten started geotagging photos. I'm using HoudahGeo and pulling tracks from my Garmin etrex. Then importing into iPhoto. Really cool.
My photos are mostly from hiking. I'd like to start sharing some of these, but don't know which service is best. Flickr, Picasa, or Panoramio? I've started an account on all three to compare them, but I haven't installed any plug-ins yet.
I'm wondering which service makes it easiest for others to find my photos. Not just people I know, but someone who might want to hike the same trail, camp at the same site and check it out ahead of time. Picasa doesn't have a map, but I've noticed that photos show up in search almost right away. In Flickr, my photos haven't showed up after a day (it is a holiday weekend). I understand that with Panoramio, they are reviewed first, so that could take weeks.
So, which service do you use and why?

CHoice is up to you - I use Panoramio and google earth because I like the way they work and integrate and I use Google earth to plan trips and see where I went
You also might take a look at the ATP Photo FInder - http://photofinder.atpinc.com/ - it is a neat, small stand alone GPS receiver that will add the GeoCodeing to your photos without the computer - CostCo.com recently had them on sale for $80 with free shipping

Rental Car Company Rewards. Which do you use? Or do you use?

I would to get the community's opinion on this. I do not use rental cars too often but I do use them when I fly. I hate to waste rewards with anything so I have been looking into trying to pick one company and stick with them. However, I have found that most of the time, its a lot cheaper to book your cars with your flight than it is to do it on your own through a certain company. For example, I was going to fly out to Seattle for a few days for a little vacation. I looked up rental cars information on Hertz and it was going to be about 500 for the days which is crazy! Then I booked a flight to Nashville for a few days and ended up booking the car after my flight and for 5 days, my car rental there was only 125. Just curious what other travelers do for car rentals Do you use rewards through them? Do you book ahead? Do you book at airports? Thanks in advance!

Maps - which do you use?

Google Maps vs. Yahoo Maps vs. MapQuest vs. Microsoft Live
API's
Which do you prefer and why?
Dan

I built a "locator" application for the hobby I'm heavily
involved with
(flying model helicopters) that utilises map technology and
the decision
there was based on which maps looked the best for my own
location...
I went with Microsoft Maps (Virtual Earth) because the level
of detail was
better at the time of my choice.
It may still be - I can't be bothered checking right now :)
I found the online documentation to be very good - easy to
follow, copy
paste and tweak code, play for a while then launch the app
pretty quickly.
I agree with Patty on the directions thing though - it might
not be the best
set of directions you can get, but that really applies to all
direction
software IMO...
You can see my app in action here:
http://www.tenzeroten.com/locator/index.asp
Select a location from the list, click the button and wait
for the next page
to oad - this is my only gripe... the JS powering the map API
is obviously
quite large, so it can take a while to load in. I'm not sure
if there's a
workaround for that either. (Note: this "club locator" does
not contain all
available clubs - just those that have bothered to add their
details to the
system so far).
I learned what I needed to build that app from the live docs:

How Do You Use XML To Create Image Upload On A WebSite?

Hello,
Could some one please help me understand how to create web image gallery and web video gallery using XML? I have found few xml codes that could be used to do this but I am not so sure how to use them. I want my clients to be able upload images and videos with linking thumbnails to Image and or Videos. Do you think the codes I included in this question will help me achive this goal? And do I need to put all in one and in the same directory so it will work? Please help with your idea and tell me how you would use these codes and how you may step-by-step implement the idea your self to your own web site.
I have also included the instruction I found on the web with the codes.
Starting with You Tube, API on their video gallery, here are the codes I found,
Assume you are to use the YouTube, XML code; What will you change here so it will work on your own www.domain.com?
<% Dim xml, xhr, ns, YouTubeID, TrimmedID, GetJpeg, GetJpeg2, GetJpeg3, thumbnailUrl, xmlList, nodeList, TrimmedThumbnailUrl Set xml = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument")
xml.async = False
xml.setProperty "ServerHTTPRequest", True
xml.Load("http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/Shuggy23/favorites?orderby=updated") If xml.parseError.errorCode <> 0 Then
    Response.Write xml.parseError.reason End If Set xmlList = xml.getElementsByTagName("entry") Set nodeList = xml.SelectNodes("//media:thumbnail") For Each xmlItem In xmlList
    YouTubeID = xmlItem.getElementsByTagName("id")(0).Text
    TrimmedID = Replace(YouTubeID, "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/", "")
    For Each xmlItem2 In nodeList
        thumbnailUrl = xmlItem2.getAttribute("url")
        Response.Write thumbnailUrl & "<br />"
    Next     Next
%>
For the image gallery, the following are the codes I found with your experience do I need to use the entire codes or just some of them that I should use?
CODE #01Converting Database queries to XML
Using XML as data sources presumes the existence of XML. Often, it is easier to have the server create the XML from a database on the fly. Below are some scripts for common server models that do such a thing.
These are starting points. They will need to be customized for your particular scenario.
All these scripts will export the data from a database table with this structure:
ID: integer, primary key, autoincrement
AlbumName: text(255)
ImagePath: text(255)
ImageDescription: text(2000)
UploadDate: datetime
The output of the manual scripts will look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<images>
     <image>
          <ID>1</ID>
          <album><![CDATA[ Family ]]></album>
          <path><![CDATA[ /family/us.jpg ]]></path>
          <description><![CDATA[ here goes the description ]]></description>
          <date><![CDATA[ 2006-11-20 10:20:00 ]]></date>
     </image>
     <image>
          <ID>2</ID>
          <album><![CDATA[ Work ]]></album>
          <path><![CDATA[ /work/coleagues.jpg ]]></path>
          <description><![CDATA[ here goes the description ]]></description>
          <date><![CDATA[ 2006-11-21 12:34:00 ]]></date>
     </image>
</images>
These are all wrapped in CDATA because it is will work with all data types. They can be removed if you know you don't want them.
Note: If using the column auto-generating versions, ensure that all the column types are text. Some databases have data type options like 'binary', that can't be converted to text. This will cause the script to fail.

OK, I understand - thanks for that.
I thought the whole process was supposed to be a bit more seemless? Having to upload/download documents and manually keep them in sync will leave a lot of room for errors.
It's kinda painful the way iOS doesn't have folders. It makes things incompatible with the Mac and means you can't group files from multiple apps into a single project - who organises their digital life by the apps they use?
I think I'll recommend they use their iPad only.
Thanks for that.

After Effects and Premiere Pro, Which do you use first?

Hi. I use premiere pro to edit my videos and now I am learning about after effects and removing blemishes with AE.
My question is, do I edit my audio, colors, etc. in premiere first then do after effects for blemishes or vice versa? I don't want to start and do it backwards. I hope it all works as planned. I am going to try the clone stamp tool, if anyone has any other suggestions please let me know. Thank you so much!!

In most cases the most efficient workflow is to edit in Premiere Pro, pick the shots where you need to add effects or compositing that you can't do in Premiere then use one of the following techniques:
For simple AE projects right click on the shot in Premiere Pro and select Replace with After Effects Composition
For more complicated effects and compositing shots copy the shot in Premiere Pro and paste it into AE or render just the shot to a suitable frame based production format and import that into AE
For very complicated shots pick the take and trim the shot in Premiere Pro leaving handles (a few extra frames on the head and tail) and render them to a 10bit or better production format for use in AE
When you have completed your work in AE if you have used step 1 then just save your work and go back to Premiere Pro. For the second and third option, render your AE comps to a suitable production format and import them to Premiere Pro where you will replace the original shots in the sequence.
Note: MP4, H.264 and other MPEG compressed formats are not suitable for production, only for delivery. Don't render your DI (digital intermediates) using these highly compressed formats.

Mail clients, which do you use?

Just curious what mail clients people use. I am always interested in improving my workflow.
Some of my friends are 100% gmail. That is all they use.
Others use gmail when they are out and about, but use a desktop mail app when they are at home (fetch via pop).
I tend to use a desktop client (claws), and crappy ol' squirrelmail (from my isp) when I dont have my laptop. I have considered going gmail, but I cant bring myself to do it. I have a gmail account, but I mostly use it for garbage...

I tried out numerous applications. But I always come back to Thunderbird. I don't have really special things I like to do with my mail-clients, so Thunderbird does everything I need.
It has GnuPG-Enigmail support, with automatic download of missing keys, a really good Spam filter.
And most of all I really like that it stores accounts, mails and even extensions in one folder.
With an initial "thunderbird -ProfileManager" I can use the same mail-folder from different Computers or Distros/BSs and have all my data there.
I really like KMail but the settings and mails are too cluttered, to really have it portable or distributed.
Downsides:
-It integrates badly with KDE and GNOME, has ugly Win95-ish interface, where it shows through that it's not really good GTK
-It loads and repaints slowly

Which SATA drivers do you use for nForce3 chipset?

Windows Generic or the ones that come with the nForce3 drivers?
When using the nForce drivers, my hard drive operates louder and the light appears to be flickering a lot more (indicating more hdd access) when compared to the Windows XP drivers.
Which do you use? What should I be using? I remember reading some threads that said nForce SATA drivers suck... but that was months ago.
Thanks for any info
(Please note that I am NOT, I repeat, NOT talking about RAID, just standard serial ATA)

lol, guess no one uses hard drive drivers

Which one to use - Customer Interface or TCA APIs? And why?

Hi,
Please let me know the answer for the following questions. I have a legacy system in 11.0.3 (which does not have the TCA architecture) and the customers have to be moved to R12. I could get the details in different flat files for the import from source system. Which is the approach I should use?
1) What does customer interface does NOT do which the TCA APIs can do?
2) Doesn’t the customer interface use the TCA API within it?
3) Is it better to use APIs than customer interface? If so, why and what are the criterions I should look for for deciding on what to use?
Highly appreciate the help.
Thanks,
Dinesh

Hello Dinesh,
To answer your questions below:
user3331828 wrote:
1) What does customer interface does NOT do which the TCA APIs can do?The Customer Interface tables do the same things that TCA API does.
user3331828 wrote:
2) Doesn’t the customer interface use the TCA API within it?I have never been able to open a Spawned program to see which packages are used. Not sure if it uses the same API packages.
user3331828 wrote:
3) Is it better to use APIs than customer interface? If so, why and what are the criterions I should look for for deciding on what to use?Customer interface might be easier than the to implement than the use of API..
For customer interface, just right a program to validate the source data and insert into open interface table, submit the import program and view output for errors. Much easy to maintain than API.
API need a certain level of programming and you will need to investigate for all the flow of creating a customer and their corresponding create procedure to call..
Hope this help,
Vik
