Best practices for the application of sharpness in your workflow

Recently I tried to get a better understanding of some of the best practices for sharpening in a workflow. I guess that I didn't know, but there are several places to sharpen. Who are the best? They are additive?

My typical workflow involves capture an image with a professional DSLR in RAW or JPEG or import into Lightroom and export to a JPEG file for the screen or printing of two lab and local. 

There are three places in this workflow to add sharpening. In the DSLR manually into Lightroom and when exporting a JPEG file or print directly from Lightroom

It is my understanding that sharpening is added to RAW images even if you add sharpening in your DSLR. However sharpening will be added to the JPEG from the camera. 

Back to my question, it is preferable to manually the sharpness in the SLR in Lightroom or wait until you export or output of your printer or final JPEG file. And additive effects? If I add sharpening to the three places I am probably more sharpening?

You have to treat them differently both formats. Data BULLIES never have any sharpening applied by the camera, only JPEG files. Sharpening is often considered to be a workflow where there are three steps (see here for a seminal paper on this idea).

I. a step sharpening of capture which compensates for the loss of sharp in detail due to the Bayer matrix and the filter anti-repliement and sometimes the lens or diffraction.

II. A creative sharpening step where some details in the image are 'highlighted' sharpness (do you eyelashes on a model's face), and

III. output sharpening, where you fix the loss of sharpness due to the scale/resampling for the properties of the average output (as blur because of an impression how process works or blurry because of the way that a screen LCD sets out its pixels).

These three are implemented in Lightroom. I. and II. are essential, and basically must always be performed. II. until your creative minds. I. is the sharpening that see you in the Panel to develop. You need zoom at 1:1 and optimize the settings. The default settings are OK but quite conservative. Usually you can increase the value of the mask a little so that you're not sharpen noise and play with the other three sliders. Jeff Schewe gives an overview of a strategy simple to find the optimal settings here. It is for the cab, but the principle remains the same. Most of the photos will benefit from optimization a bit. Don't go overboard, but just OK for smoothness to 1:1.

Stage II as I have said, is not essential, but it can be done using the local adjustment brush, or you can go to Photoshop for this. Stage III, however, is very essential. This is done in the export, the print panel Panel or the web. You can't really get a glimpse of these things (especially the sharpening printing-oriented) and it will take a little experimentation to see what you like.

For jpeg, sharpening is done already in the camera. You could add a small extra capture sharpening in some cases, or simply lowering the sharpening in camera and then have more control in the post, but generally, it is best to leave it alone. Stage II and III, however, are still necessary.

    Is there for example some best practices how to modify this code to have pages and components with the same sizes in portrait and landscape? On presentation buttons size always 150 width and height 45 and wil containers have stageWidth and stageHeight.

    Thank you if someone could help with this problem

    Hello

    Try listening to a shift in focus screen with this code:

    stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, onResizeHandler, false, 0, true);
    

    You can only change the width/height of your components to the event based on the width/height of the floor.

    I will guard against specifying specific sizes, if you want your code to work on devices BB10. I recommend using %'s.

    Kind regards

    Well, without testing your code, I can say that if you want to update the ObservableList in updateLobby, you must be sure that this happens on the thread of JavaFX, because only this thread is allowed to update the properties / observable (who are currently in an active scene graph).

    So, I would change the code in updateLobby to this:

      @Override
      public void updateLobby(LobbyListModel[] changes) {
          final String[] ar = new String[changes.length];
          for(int i=0;i!=null){System.out.println(changes[i].getName());ar[i] = changes[i].getName();}}
    
    Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {@Overridepublic void run() {ol.addAll(ar);}});}
    
    
    Good luck!

I need to include the management, vMotion, Virtual Machine (VM) and iSCSi. If there are others you would recommend, please let me know.

    For example, 'Management' is very small and the only time where it is in use is during the installation of the agent. Then it uses 70%.

    I need the percentage of bandwidth, if possible.

    If anyone out there can help me, that would be so awesome.

    Thank you!

    Without knowing your environment, it would be impossible to give you an idea of the uses of bandwidth.

    That said if you had about 10-15 virtual machines per host with this configuration, you should be fine.

    Hello!

You will need to resize them and compress them before deleting the in your article, because the dps do not do it for you. Hey can do!

    So Im also read as he active source of slideshows, scrolling images, and buttons ARE resampled as PNG images. Does this mean that DPS will compress for you when you build the article? Does this say I shouldn't worth going bother to resize these images at all? I can just pop in 300 DPI files 15 MB used in the print magazine and dps will compress their construction article - and this will have no effect on the size of the file?

    And this is also the case with static background images?


    Thanks for your help!

    All images are automatically resampled to based on the size of the folio you do. You can put in any image resolution you want, it's not serious.

    Hello
    What is the best practice for the use of the reserved words as column names.
    For example if I insisted on the use of the word to a column name comment as follows:

    VARCHAR2 (4000) "COMMENT."
    ...

    What is the impact on the track I could expect and what problems should I be informed when doing something like that?

    The best practice is NOT to use reserved words anywhere.
    Developers are human beings human. Humans have their moments to forget things.
    They will not forget to use the "", or you can force it to use the "' everywhere.

  • Best practices for the integration of the Master Data Management (MDM)

    I work on the integration of MDM with Eloqua and are looking for the best approach to sync data lead/Contact changes of Eloqua in our internal MDM Hub (output only). Ideally, we would like that integration practically in real time but my findings to date suggest that there is no option. Any integration will result in a kind of calendar.

    Here are the options that we had:

    1. "Exotic" CRM integration: using internal events to capture and queue in the queue changes internal (QIP) and allows access to the queue from outside Eloqua SOAP/REST API
    2. Data export: set up a Data Export that is "expected" to run on request and exteernally annex survey via the API SOAP/REST/in bulk
    3. API in bulk: changes in voting that has happened since the previous survey through the API in bulk from Eloqua outside (not sure how this is different from the previous option)

    Two other options which may not work at all and who are potentially antimodel:

    • Cloud connector: create a campaign questioning changes to schedule and configure a connector of cloud (if possible at all) to notify MDM endpoint to query contact/lead "record" of Eloqua.
    • "Native" integration CRM (crazy): fake of a native CRM endpoint (for example, Salesforce) and use internal events and external calls to Eloqua push data into our MDM

    Issues related to the:

    1. What is the best practice for this integration?
    2. Give us an option that would give us the close integration in real-time (technically asynchronous but always / event-based reminder)? (something like the outgoing in Salesforce e-mail)
    3. What limits should consider these options? (for example API daily call, size response SOAP/REST)

    If you can, I would try to talk to Informatica...

    To imitate the integrations of native type, you use the QIP and control what activities it validated by internal events as you would with a native integration.

    You will also use the cloud api connector to allow you to set up an integration CRM (or MDM) program.

    You have fields of identification is added objects contact and account in Eloqua for their respective IDs in the MDM system and keep track of the last update of MDM with a date field.

    A task scheduled outside of Eloqua would go to a certain interval and extract the QAP changes send to MDM and pull the contacts waiting to be sent in place of the cloud connector.

    It isn't really much of anything as outgoing unfortunately use Messaging.  You can send form data shall immediately submit data to Server (it would be a bit like from collections of rule of integration running of the steps in processing of forms).

    See you soon,.

  • Measurement on the side time server? Best practices for the turn-based game

    Hello

    What would be the best practice for measuring time in a turn based game?

    I was looking at the timeout of the room, but to use that it would mean that, for each round, I put users in a new room?

    Is there a way where I can measure time serverside and keep users in the same room?

    If so, I could use php, otherwise, we would need java that allows to measure a time race.

    See you soon,.

    G

    Hello

    You can definitely use PHP or Java - we provide integration of server

    libraries for either. I don't know exactly what is the use case, so I can't

    comment on what makes the most sense, but if it is not information which must be

    totally secure, grading on the client can be a viable approach also.

  • Best practices for the .ini file, reading

    Hello LabViewers

    I have a pretty big application that uses a lot of communication material of various devices. I created an executable file, because the software runs on multiple sites. Some settings are currently hardcoded, others I put in a file .ini, such as the focus of the camera. The thought process was that this kind of parameters may vary from one place to another and can be defined by a user in the .ini file.

    I would now like to extend the application of the possibility of using two different versions of the device hardware key (an atomic Force Microscope). I think it makes sense to do so using two versions of the .ini file. I intend to create two different .ini files and a trained user there could still adjust settings, such as the focus of the camera, if necessary. The other settings, it can not touch. I also EMI to force the user to select an .ini to start the executable file using a dialog box file, unlike now where the ini (only) file is automatically read in. If no .ini file is specified, then the application would stop. This use of the .ini file has a meaning?

    My real question now solves on how to manage playback in the sector of .ini file. My estimate is that between 20-30 settings will be stored in the .ini file, I see two possibilities, but I don't know what the best choice or if im missing a third

    (1) (current solution) I created a vi in reading where I write all the .ini values to the global variables of the project. All other read only VI the value of global variables (no other writing) ommit competitive situations

    (2) I have pass the path to the .ini file in the subVIs and read the values in the .ini file if necessary. I can open them read-only.

    What is the best practice? What is more scalable? Advantages/disadvantages?

    Thank you very much

    1. I recommend just using a configuration file.  You have just a key to say what type of device is actually used.  This will make things easier on the user, because they will not have to keep selecting the right file.

    2. I use the globals.  There is no need to constantly open, get values and close a file when it is the same everywhere.  And since it's just a moment read at first, globals are perfect for this.

  • to access the QML attached objects in C++ and best practices for the handling of the user interface in classes

    Hello

    I have in fact 2 queries

    (1) how can we access attachedobjects defined in QML in C++?

    (2) I'm loving development on Blackberry 10 C++ is one of my favorites. But I'm a bit lost when it comes to managing the user interface in classes. For example when we create the project through momentics we have a class called ApplicationUI. It manages all the (default) user interface commands, we in C++. as for example creating the document qml and setting as root user interface, etc. I am now working on an app that have NavigationPane as root, and then I continue to push pages (like the screens). But now the code for all pages is inside my ApplicationUI. What is the best practice to keep the UI for each page logic in a separte C++ class?

    I also develop for Android that a separate class for each activity, this code does not mingle for each activity. Please guide me how can I keep logic of user interface of each Page into a separate class of C++?

    regarding your second question:
    I think this is the simplest approach to keep all things in the UI in QML. You can easily put things into separate files.

    If you want to use c ++ to the user interface: can be done, too. just put it in separate classes and include those in your application class.

  • Best practices for the configuration of virtual drive on NGC

    Hello

    I have two C210 M2 Server with 6G of LSI MegaRAID 9261-8i card with 10 each 135 GB HDDs. When I tried the automatic selection of the RAID configuration, the system has created a virtual disk with RAID 6. My concern is that the best practice is to configure the virtual drive? Is - RAID 1 and RAID5 or all in a single drive with RAID6? Any help will be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Since you've decided to have the CPU on the server apps, voice applications have specified their recommendations here.

    I think that your server C210 specifications might be corresponding TRC #1, where you need to have

    RAID 1 - first two drives for VMware

    RAID 5 - 8 hard drives within the data store for virtual machines (CUCM and CUC)
