ACR vs Capture 2? : what is the best?

I talked recently to a photography workshop organized by Nikon. My job was to show a typical workflow that started with Nikon raw images in Lightroom or ACR. In my demo, a spokesman for Nikon beat, claiming their Capture NX 2 software does a better job, Nikon NEF as ACR file conversion. It was then further suggests that all owners raw converters have tend to produce better results than ACR.

While owner of Capture NX 2, I have a little experience today to test the theory of man. I open the NEF file even in the Capture and ACR. Although the results are different, I can't say that one is necessarily better than the other. The Nikon rep was simply defending his employer, or converters Nikon/Canon/etc produce better results than ACR?

And it changes your perception of the universe, how?

What you might expect, by a representative of Nikon to say... "Yes, you know, our software sucks rocks so use Camera Raw"?

Seriously? You find it at all the least little bit unexpected?

The fact is, default "" all manufacturers of cameras will do a better job to match the LCD/JPEG image produced by the cameras. Well, DOH, Camera Raw support more than 230 files camera raw... one would expect that software manufacturers of cameras would do a good job to match camera JPEG out pretty good (heads would roll if it wasn't the case).

But as for what produces the most 'accurate' (in terms of the target scene color) from the raw files from cameras, I doubt that software manufacturers photo would rank very high. They like to apply "looks" to make images 'look' better, not more accurate.

Seriously, raw is raw... what the output is "supposed" to look like is to be determined. If you want "accurate" vs "pleasant" or other "looks" then you really want to use the software of the camera as rendered raw files Adobe makers tends to be much more "accurate" when we test the accurate measurement of the colors of results vs. But Nikon and Canon do not want you want "accurate", they want their 'look' (which tends toward darker shadows and more color contrast/saturation).

  • What is the best way to store the RCS for an insert/update in this rec

    Oracle on Win 64 non-conteneur 12.1.0.2

    When a record in one table is inserted or updated, what would be the best way to store the RCS for this record in this folder.

    I thought of a line after trigger, but did not know if this trigger to store the current_scn would still fire that trigger again (recursive trigger).

    Someone at - he a good idea of what the best way is to do?  The devs don't want to store the pk and the SNA in yet another table...

    Yes, row_dependencies would be the best way to go.  But mgmt doesn't recreate all tables for this.

    3rd party applications retrieve data from tables (all data).  We are looking for a way for them to just pull what is new or updated updated since their last sweater.

    I suggest that you try again and give all OF THE REQUIREMENTS.

    You have rejected ANY answer given and he justified using 'hidden' on what knowledge management or the devs want or do not want to. Stop making us guess what are the requirements and constraints. If you want a real answer then tell us ALL the news.

    When a record in one table is inserted or updated, what would be the best way to store the RCS for this record in this folder.

    Solomon answered repeatedly. If you want to add a column to a table to store the then "best" SNA is to let the Oracle to do this for you automatically by using the DEPENDENCY LINE.

    As he says also re-create the table to add this clause will be MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE that everything THAT you can do it manually. It will be also more accurate because Oracle will fill the value ORA_ROWSCN with the SNA at the time the line was committed. You, as long as user, can't fill a column in function when a line is engaged since real VALIDATION belongs to a transaction, not the line or the trigger that you use.

    Yes - there are two drawbacks to this method:

    1. you need to re-create the table

    2. you cannot add an index to this "hidden" column

    The devs don't want to store the pk and the SNA in yet another table...

    Then? Who cares what the devs want to do? You want the BEST solution? Next, you will need to put aside personal preferences and determine what is the 'best' solution. Why it is important that certain dev wants to do this or not?

    OK, the problem of biz is now, 3rd party external users are an all-wheel drive large number of tables in the database via the API that we wrote.  That was obviously interrupted OLTP during the day.  To reduce to the minimum, we want for them just to extract data that has been inserted/updated since their last sweater.

    It is the definition of a "replica" DB Then why don't you consider a real replicated DB? You can use DataGuard and have replicated DB which is read only that can be used to generate reports. Oracle does ALL the work to keep ALL the tables in sync. You and your developers do NOTHING!

    We thought that store the RCS higher their last sweater would allow the API to extract only data with YVERT higher than their last data pull CHN.

    OK - except you keep rejecting solutions actually do. Ask you questions about the SNA stored in the same table, but then reject the solution that does this. And then you add your "devs" don't want to store the info in a new table either.

    Then your solutions must ONLY use the replication or Log Miner. The REDO logs have all changes, if you want to extract yourself. Replication (e.g., DataGuard) will use these logs for you to maintain a replicated database.

    We thought about it, but recreate all tables in production with ROWDEPENDENCIES as well as dealing with CF and other dependencies idea this was shot.

    Well you NEVER mentioned you "thought that" and rejected it. And you NEVER mentioned anything about FKs and other dependencies. What is FKs and other dependencies which prevents this working solution? Tell us! Give us ALL the information.

    Wouldn't a trigger AFTER LINE capture the commit YVERT?  Or is after really not after validation?

    No - a trigger has NOT one commit. A trigger runs as a step in a transaction. Validation applies to the entire transaction. Until you, or Oracle, issues a commit, there is NO "committed SNA" to be stored as ORA_ROWSCN.

    You can easily see that for yourself. Create a simple table with dependencies of the line and then update two different sessions.

    create the table emp_scn rowdependencies in select * from emp where rownum<>

    Select empno, emp_scn ora_rowscn

    Update emp_scn set work = 'b' where empno = 7499

    commit;

    The first SELECT statement will show you that each row has the same SNA.

    EMPNO, ORA_ROWSCN

    7369,70622201

    7499,70622201

    7521,70622201

    Now, do the update (but no commit), then SELECT it

    EMPNO, ORA_ROWSCN

    7369,70622201

    7499,

    7521,70622201

    Where is the value of 7499? This session will NOT see a value for the changed lines in the current transaction. Other sessions will still see the old value.

    Now do the validation, then SELECT

    EMPNO, ORA_ROWSCN

    7369,70622201

    7499,70622301

    7521,70622201

    7499 now has a new and different value than the other lines. It will not be this new value until the validation occurs.

    Yes, row_dependencies would be the best way to go.  But mgmt doesn't recreate all tables for this.

    Well, you got the answer you want. You ask the best way. Now, you say that you were told the best way. But now you don't like the answer.

    How is it our fault? Your question has been answered wasn't she?

    Here are the facts:

    1 oracle creates a history of changes - the REDO log files

    2. you can use Log Miner to extract these changes

    3. you can create your own change log by adding a log file of MV to your table.

    4. you can then write a custom code to use this MV log file to determine which rows to "reproduce".

    So far reject you all THE POSSIBLE solutions.

    Accept it or change the requirements to allow one of the solutions proposed to be used.

    Personally, if I HAD to use a customized solution, I would use a MV journal to record the ROWID of the lines that have changed (for tables ROWID cannot be changed). I would then extract the appropriate lines by pulling on the lines corresponding to these row ID.

    Even that has problems since a line can be changed several times and children lines can also be amended several times - these questions FK you mentioned.

    I suggest you read this entire thread on AskTom a dozen years ago. It addresses ALL these issues.

  • What is the best way to collect newspapers to send to Vmware

    I have ESXi 4.1

    I recently sent newspapers in support, on request, after we have a host to freeze on us.

    They responded back that newspapers have not capture anything because a restart updated newspapers and only a syslog would be able to provide clues before a crash.

    Is it true because it's strange that newspapers would be destroyed after a reboot.

    The syslog offers a challenge because we cannot control the level of gravity on the host, so we threw ourselves with a lot of useless information.

    We need the newspapers to find out why our guests are crashing and requiring us to restart.  On one occasion, we do not have vmotion virtual machines to another host.

    Once we did it, but the host did not until we rebooted it.

    What is the best way to collect newspapers send it to vmware for analysis?

    Thank you

    Falcone

    On ESXi, if you create a partition important stripe, yes the newspapers would disappear on reboot.

    Syslog is the right way to enter it.

  • What is the best program or how to check an image on the monitor screen (contrast/color, etc.)

    Hello

    In ACR I adjust the image so that it looks OK to me.

    But there are a few differences in the cab and PS visualization of the image (color, contrast, etc.).

    In programs like foto-viewer of windows , there is another difference (compared to ACR and PS) > > images have more contrast and darker than the visualization in PS

    Another program Irfanview shows the image with less color (saturisation).

    I did a test print (in a center of the photo), this picture translates into something between Irfanview and Psalm

    Question:

    What is the best program or way to adjust the color / contrast, etc to make me a photo-image (on paper) which is the same as what I see on the screen of the monitor mij.

    Probably still a problem with color management.

    PS is color managed, will honor an embedded profile (or tag) in an image and to 'bend' the colors according to the color space of image and its supported monitor.  Check the color settings to see if / what that PS takes in what concerns monitor color space and image profiles.  Other programs are not color management and send the RGB values directly to the monitor.

    You can't see a difference if the image has an sRGB profile (or none), but that say a picture comes up with its Adobe 1998 color space.  Photoshop will honor but other programs will not, then you will see a net difference of saturation.  Adobe 1998 being a larger color space, it uses small differences between R, G, B to a saturation of the color indicated that would exist in sRGB, so seen in a managed application without colors, the image will appear less saturated than in PS.  And other "Pitfalls" that can cause the effect reverses.

    You must have a minimum knowledge of color management to be able to reconcile various appearance of the image between the various applications.

    I have Illustrator CS2.

    I do not believe that the scanners large format are flat, if I'm wrong. In my view, they have a mobile head that scans the original bottle then made up the data with the software.

    It is not cheap, if the original can be easily damage they'll probably damage it unless you make sure that beforehand what they know about it
    and that they accept that they can scan without damaging it.

    Photography is a good solution if you know how the art of light and you use a long distance goal.

    The reason is shooting with a normal or wide-angle will give an effect of stretching the edges especially bandwidth due to the proximity of the camera to subject distance. The lens and the longer distance will accomplish the same capture without you stretching effect.

    Now, if you really have a service experience work fine arts or large commercial then scanning might be the way of.

    In both cases, I don't think you want to vectorize the art.

    Maybe this blog Capterra article can help you with choices for an alternative to MS Project for Macs.

    However, what I would recommend is to run Windows under BootCamp or a virtual machine, such as Parallels or VMware and then, install a version of Windows from MS Project to be entirely compatible with what your company uses.
