Why are the dng's coming out almost twice as large as the CR2's?

Never seen this or noticed before.
JUst did shoot on Canon 5D2. The CR2s are about 14-15mb, yet the DNGs, after conversion are 26-27mb.
What going on? If memory servers they are supposed to get smaller not huge.

Noel, thanks, I primarly like DNG, for getting rid of the sidecar, which I find annoying -- a 2nd file. Although I appreciate it's intended purpose of DNG --to be compatible years down the road.
So, not a space issue, I always knew that DNG only made the files a tad smaller, but to see the double in size was shocking.
The size on the CF card is 15mb, why does Canon camera say it's 10mb?
Yes, I usually later will delete the CR2s. I do know that for blacks, the Canon DPP is nice to have etc. but, I think Jeff will agree, Adobe ACR is all we really need now for processing these. No need for the CR2's later as backup as I back up everything on several hardrives even offsite. Go ahead and disabuse me....on that issue
Jeff. if what you are saying is true, it's not really Raw, (and I not clear what that really means, it's not raw), --well let's put it this way, I bet you don't use or recommend then the small / medium Raws for the Canon Camera - if you use that camera.

Hi Paty,
Here is a link to your printer's website - Pick whether you are in the USA or elsewhere in the world - there are two slightly different printers depending on where you are located.
At your website are links to manuals, help videos, software, and more. If you do not have all the software installed that your printer can use, and it's available for your Operating System, it will be listed in Software and Drivers.

"Not right" photographs can be caused by some of the same issues that make all printing from the same printer to look a bit "off". The difference is that, in many cases, we don't notice the problem until we print something that has all the detail and color saturation as a nice photograph.
Here's a general group of things that can cause "not right" photos.
Things to consider:
Paper quality - all paper is not made the same. Poor paper quality will affect your outcome. Consider a bright white (97), 24 lb, American made paper. It costs more; it works really well compared to bargain priced paper.
Ink quality is not all the same. You may hear other opinions; HP ink in HP printers will provide a more consistant result from the hardware. Refurbished ink cartridges may cause problems (damage to the printer) over the long haul.
Even when there is what appears to be sufficient ink in the cartridge, it can be time to change the cartridge. The ink cartridges get dirty - after a couple of cleanings, there comes a point when you just have to trash the old cartridge and put in a new one. It means you don't get every last bit of ink from the cartridge. It isn't fair. It's the way it works.
Regardless of where you purchased the ink, some settings may dump more ink than the paper can handle. If the printer is working properly (hardware is OK), then this comes back to balancing the ink output with the paper. There is 'drying time' necessary even for the new printers. How? Check the manuals; see if there are settings that can be adjusted - if not, then buy better paper and try it.
The printer may be dirty. Cleaning the cartridge heads can help - a thorough cleaning uses more ink but may work temporarily. At some point, you may have to clean the printer with a cleaning kit. (Most people just replace the printer in this day and age - no one wants to buy the kit and clean the printer.) Believe it or not, sometimes, it's just dirt.
The cartridges may be faulty. Try a new cartridge - if your printer uses separate color cartridges - replace them all. Keep the old cartridges for a time while you try other measures - no use in throwing away good ink.
The printer has to be up to the task. Unfortunately, not all printers are great for printing high quality photographs. It's a case of "You get what you pay for".
I print a lot of photographs at high resolution.
Of the items on the list, and besides the high quality printer, remember:
Use High quality paper - don't skimp on paper for photographs. You don't need photo paper for every photo; you do need the paper I described: bright white, 24lb, American made. HP brand is good if you can afford it.
Clean, full cartridges.
When printing / copying / scanning from the glass, clean the glass first.
Set your printer to "best quality" for important work. Most printers have this setting.
I hope this helps.

Why are my color choices coming out only in grey tones?

I am using photoshop CS2. for some reason in the picture im working on, i am only able to work in black, white and shades of grey. i choose color (green, say) for the forground color, and by the time i've said "ok" and gone back to the work space, its shown me a grey that is the same tone as the green i chose...but grey none the less. weird, right?

go to Image-Mode and make sure you're not in Greyscale mode. Switch to RGB and then you should be okay.

Why are the options grayed out??

Why are the majority of my edit options grayed out. I cant copy and paste

OK. So we've established that you're in Photoshop CC on Windows 7 (nothing to do with Acrobat or Acrobat Reader).
What exactly are you trying to do in Photoshop CC? Can you outline in detail what steps you're taking and what's confusing you?

Why are the adobe pdf presets grayed out in photoshop?

Why are the adobe pdf presets grayed out in photoshop? I'm trying to save an image to "Press Quality" as a pdf and the settings are grayed out.

Maybe a screenshot of your Photoshop working area with the image opened, image tab and the layer panels showing might give us an idea. I can't guarantee that I can help, but someone might be familiar with the situation.
Also a screenshot of the Save as Adobe PDF and the PDF settings dialog as separate shots would also help as well. That way we see what you see.

I'm trying to make "Stop motion videos" in Final Cut EXPRESS by using 100's of still photos and setting them to music. They are coming out blurry if viewed larger than 4x6 in size

I'm trying to make "Stop motion videos" in Final Cut EXPRESS by using 100's of still photos and setting them to music. They are coming out blurry if viewed larger than 4x6 in size.
I don't understand why this is happening.

Quick follow up, since I was on my phone earlier and am back to a real keyboard.
To access Easy Setup, hit Control Q.
If you click on the blue discosure triangles, a dropdown menu with about a dozen different presets will be displayed. Select the one you want, (Here, I've selected 720P.)
Whatever you select for a preset will not be applied until you make a new sequence. (I don't like to have sequences with different properties in the same project so I prefer to make a new project if I change the Easy Setup.)
Because photo aspect ratios are different than video, I typically put a solid generator of some compatible color on the first track (v1) and put my photos on the track above (v2). Looks better, IMO, than black bars. There are other creative ways to display them. And of course, you could scale them up to fill the frame…but then you probably would have to re-position them.
Good luck.

Why are the threads start and terminate randomly?

Hi there,
I got the program below. I am wondering why are the threads start and terminate randomly? Everytime, I run the program, it produces different results.
I know that these four threads have got same normal priority (should be 5), and under windows there is something called timeslice. Then these four threads rotate using this timeslice. How do we know what exactly the timeslice is in seconds? If the timeslice is fix, then why the results are ramdom?
Thanks in advance!

public class MyThreadOne implements Runnable {
String tName;
Thread t;
MyThreadOne(String threadName) {
tName = threadName;
t = new Thread(this, tName);
t.start();
public void run() {
try {
System.out.println("Thread: " + tName);
Thread.sleep(2000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println("Exception: Thread "

System.out.println("Terminating thread: " + tName);
public static void main(String args[]) {
// Why are the threads start and terminate randomly?
new MyThreadOne("1");

try {

// Thread.sleep(2000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println(
"Exception: Thread main interrupted.");
System.out.println(
"Terminating thread: main thread.");
1. Firstly, I set in the main function:
Thread.sleep(10000);
and I run the program it gives:
Thread: 1
Thread: 4
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: main thread.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 10 seconds)
Run it again, it gives:
Thread: 2
Thread: 4
Thread: 3
Thread: 1
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: main thread.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 10 seconds)
And my question was why it outputs like this? It suppose to be:
Thread: 1
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Thread: 4
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: main thread.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 10 seconds)
Why these four threads start and finish randomly each time I run the program? I use Windows, suppose there is a timeslice (i.e. 1 second), these threads have the same priority. Then the threads should start and finish in turn one by one. Am I right?
2. My second question is:
When I change the codes in the 'main' function into:
Thread.sleep(10000); -> Thread.sleep(2000);
it gives me the results like:
Thread: 1
Thread: 4
Thread: 3
Thread: 2
Terminating thread: main thread.
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 2
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 2 seconds)
Run it again:
Thread: 1
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Thread: 4
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: main thread.
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 2 seconds)
I tried several times. The main thread always terminates before or after the first child thread finished.
My question is why it doesn't output something like:
Thread: 1
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Thread: 4
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: main thread.
Terminating thread: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 2 seconds)
or
Thread: 1
Thread: 2
Thread: 3
Thread: 4
Terminating thread: 3
Terminating thread: 4
Terminating thread: 2
Terminating thread: 1
Terminating thread: main thread.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 2 seconds)

How to explain my second quesiton then? Why the main thread always terminates before some of the child threads end? Thanks a lot.

It may be in the process of making room. What version of OSX are you on? (That process can be excruciatingly slow on Leopard or Snow Leopard backups over a network; Lion has improved it greatly.)
A clue may be lurking in your logs. Use the widget in #A1 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs. That should help you figure out what's going on. If in doubt, copy and post them here (but if the same ones repeat over and over, drop most of the duplicates).
If you can, connect via Ethernet; it will be 2-3 times faster.

Why are the songs in my iphone playlists grey and I can't move them.

Why are the songs in my iPhone playlists grayed out. I am unable to move and organize them. I just downloaded some audio books from Audible and I cannot moved them to a playlist on my iPhone either. What step am I missing?

margielm2 wrote:
So, if I haven't made any albums, I can't move pictures in the main window of the Organizer?
Yes, you can't. The default order in the main window is based on date, ascending or descending when you are in the standard 'thumbnail view'. If you are in 'folder' view, with your folders shown in the left panel, you are shown the pictures in alphabetical order of the file names.
I haven't created albums yet.
I have so many pictures. I wanted to put all the pictures for each album next to each other so I can find them easily.
It's not difficult to create albums and 'drag' pictures in it. When an album is selected, you can move your pictures around in any order in the main window panel.
Albums are one way of grouping and ordering pictures. You should try to use keywords to organize and retrieve your pictures.

TS4337 Why are the colors for my calendar reseting to a color I never chose?

Why are the colors for my calendar in iCal reseting to a color I never chose? It won't stay blue when I choose that color and keeps changing to a custom lavendar color on its own.... Incredibly annoying...

There doesn't seem to be a one-size-fits-all answer, because what works for one printer doesn't necessarily work for another, and I don't have your printer so I can't advise on specifics...
However, perhaps we can discover a set of settings that will work...
If you File - Print, choose Photoshop Manages Colors, in the Printer Profile section do you see profiles specific to your printer (e.g., with the name Kodak in them)?
If so, choose one of them that seems appropriate given the paper you're using.
If not, try choosing sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
Now, before you continue, press the [Print Settings...] button. This brings up the printer driver dialog. You may have to go through [Advanced] buttons or whatever, but what you're looking to do here is to disable the printer driver's color management logic. In other words, if you can find a color-management / ICC profile handling section, set it to "no color management" or equivalent. OK back out to Photoshop's print dialog, then press [Print].
The key here is that if Photoshop manages the color transforms, the printer driver should not be set to do so - or vice versa.
If you're presented with the printer driver's dialog again, double check that the settings you chose above are still set, for good measure, and try a test print.

Why are the phone sales lying to customers telling them they will get a new phone under the warranty

This is my story from Store 1513 2441 North Maize Rd Wichita, KS 67205 Why are the cell phone sales people lying to customers by telling them they will get a brand new replacement phone under the purchased warranty when they really have to wait to be sent a refurbished phone? This seams like a scam! I have been told we would get a brand new phone on 3 separate contract renewals in the last 6 months if there ever was a problem, and now that I have a problem they say no you have to wait for a refurb in the mail? Guess you CEO will be getting an earful!

Hello WilliamAnderson,
Our Geek Squad protection I can assure you is not a scam but I understand why you would feel that way considering the circumstances. Our Rapid Exchange process, with certain mobile devices covered under Geek Squad Protection, “utilizes refurbished products of like kind and quality and of comparable performance”. I apologize for the confusion this has caused you after you invested in that protection plan.
I realize this is not what you were led to believe in the store and I would like to reach out to the Wichita, KS store (1513) to pass along this feedback. I will be sending you a private message to get some more contact information from you; to check your private messages, click on the envelope in the upper right-hand corner while you are logged into the forums.

Why are the primary colors located on the vectorscope where they are?

It seems that things would be simpler if one of the primary colors were at the top, bottom, left, or right of the vectorscope. Why is that not the case, and why are the primary colors located on the vectorscope where they are?

Probably really only because of tradition based on the way analog vectorscopes drew the trace.
Notice that red is farther out in an analog system, but smaller allowances in digital systems.
