'Live sélections' 8-bit?

I have trouble to get a complete answer here on the Adobe Forums.  I sent Jeff Schewe on the issue but did not get anything back for the moment.

Years ago I was getting posterized in my enlargements of 16-bit and asked Jeff and others here why that might be. The question gave me was "you are using a ' live selections" in your mask? And then I saidlive selections are always 8 bit"even in a space of 16 bits.  I immediately abandoned my 'selection live' various technical of masking and the Posterization went away for good (I do Gallery extensions full time). I have been educating people about this for 6-7 years now. I use the "Mix" layer Style so, or I create customized through calculations now 16 bit masks.

But a controversy has brewed lately on the use masks of brightness of Kuyper.

Here is his quote:



"Last year, I started to receive questions by e-mail on whether brightness selections change the bit depth of selected pixels from 16 bits to 8 bits." The answer is 'No.'. It would take something like the Image > Mode control to do so. A little research, however, showed whence came this misconception. It turns out that regardless of the bit depth of the image, the selections are always 8-bit. Even on a 16-bit image, the selections are always 8-bit. The depth of selection, however, refers only to the degree of possible selection as part of the selection (up to 256 for 8-bit). However, the depth of the image, described the amount of color information, each pixel can display (65 536 levels for each color in RGB channel). They are not the same thing. The degree of 8 bits selection is just to determine how adjustments are passed to the pixels below. It does not change the accuracy of 16 bits of data in these color pixels. »



It seems to me that if it is said that the selections in its masks are not actually of 8 bits, or made up to 256 levels.


Please help me to get to the bottom of this issue.


Thank you much in advance.


A link to his explanation is here for those who might be interested:How to do 16-bit brightness masks | Good light newspaper




I have no idea whether or not Kuyper mask selections are 8 or 16-bit, but if selection began by dancing ants selection before the Save in a channel or a layer mask, then they are 8 bit to start and will not magically becomes 16-bit.

Channels & layer masks are 16-bit 16-bit documents, selections are always 8 bits.

Could be a case of use of advocating a bit depth higher for 16/32 bit and Chris files would be a good person to ask (although I think it would be a lot of work for relatively few users).

  • Drivers Vista 32-bit works on XP 32 bit?

    I got this HP model a6544f since a few months now and find that much too much my older hardware (scanner, etc.) and 16-bit software (which I use daily) simply does not work with Vista or a 64-bit OS. I prefer to use XP 32-bit where all happy lives on my old machine. But the driver for this system only specifies Vista 32 - bit or 64 - bit. I already added a "real" video card to get digital and put output at power level to manage this card. If necessary, I suppose I could live with the 32-bit version of Vista, but would really prefer to use XP. (I think of all the "improvements" in Vista as nothing else that candies for the eyes, and you have disabled as many of them as possible anyway.)

    Does anyone know if Vista drivers 32 - bt for different systems of motherboard will install on XP 32 bit? It will make you life easier if they do!

    Motherboards are circuit boards, which don't require drivers.  Components (i.e. the device IC) soldered to the circuit require drivers.  They are made by the respective device providers. for example peripheral chips done Intel Intel, NVIDIA is peripheral chips NVIDIA, Realtek is peripheral chips Realtek, so on and so immediately.

    And no, HP does not motherboards.  Even if it did, nothing would change, he wouldn't have the IC device used on the motherboard.  HP gets the device drivers to the sellers of the device, as everyone (including the motherboard manufacturers).

    That said, you should have no problem getting the current XP drivers.  All devices in this system are suppliers that make drivers available to the public.  There are some sellers who don't release drivers for the public, like Atheros, Analog Devices, Broadcom (only for wireless cards), Sigmatel (IDT) and a few others, but your system does not all devices from these suppliers.

    You are using a PCI-E graphics card so the drivers are not necessary for the graphics card Intel integrated, which is automatically disabled when you use the PCI-E x 16 graphics card.  FireWire and USB controller drivers are now provided by Microsoft for OS later to Windows XP SP1, make sure you get those through the operating system, service packs or Windows Update.

  • Windows Live Mail 2011, Windows 7, after a hard disk crash

    Hello

    I need help please!

    Hard drive of my laptop has failed and shattered Windows. IT friend of mine he recovered eventually, but following his advice, I'll send it to the factory for an appropriate remedy.

    In the meantime, I would like to know if I can recover emails in my boxes in all. All the addresses in my address book are preserved and are there when I logged in the Windows Live Mail.

    However, I am very confused. I thought that Windows Live Mail is a bit like hotmail or google mail where I can access it anytime anywhere, so even if my hard drive has failed, I expected to see my old emails when I logged on.

    If there is a way I can see my old mails, please teach me how do it, but I have the feeling that maybe it's not possible.

    Thank you!

    You can use WLM in two modes.  We're really on the web Live Mail where it is stored on Microsoft servers.  The other (which most people use) is a mode in which the mail is downloaded to your computer and that are stored there as well as your contacts.  You are therefore responsible for the backup of your mail and contacts.   This web page will tell you how: http://canadiantech.info/?page_id=114

    If your hard drive is still accessible by temporarily attaching to a USB port with a box designed for that, you can find your WLM file.  He was buried on 6 levels down if you need to know exactly where he is.  %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows live Mail.

    I am opposed to where WLM stores my default mail.  You can move it to another place that is more easy to find which would allow you to easily save this file directly.  WLM provides the tool to do this movement quit nicely.   I use the normal WLM backup, as described in the link above AND also save the entire file WLM.  My mail, contacts and calendar are probably the most valuable thing on my computer and I not backed up really well.

    Interestingly, I found in the past that most (not all) of the time, if you replace the Store for WLM folder with a copy of the file you are recovering, it will include your contacts and calendar as well as all your e-mail folders.  If you do this, you are NOT importing anything.

    If you can't, you can connect to your Internet service provider, once you have installed and launched WLM, and download his Inbox for you.  You will not find contacts, calendar or other folders there normally.  In fact, many of my clients in these situations to discover thousands of emails downloaded into their WLM system.  This occurs if you have never removed from your Inbox to your ISP.  So, before you connect WLM to your ISP, go to your ISP webmail and clean up the Inbox.

  • UnixODBC - cannot compile 64-bit library

    I'm not sure of the architecture of the BONE. I guess it's 64-bit and 32-bit running in 32-emulation mode.

    64 - bit sparcv9 applications

    asi_blk_init vis2 live popc

    32 - bit sparc applications

    I can't compile library UnixODBC 64-bit in this OS. Only 32 bits is compiled.

    Normally the last version of driver manager recognizes the operating system and compile libraries with the correct word size. If this does not work, make sure that you explicitly set 2 flags CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS both with the option DBUILD_REAL_64_BIT_MODE (which you have developed or has been used in your compilation) and m64 to force a 64-bit compilation:

    If an environment that compiles the 64-bit libs can be initialized as follows:

    PATH = / usr/ccs/bin: $PATH

    export PATH

    CFLAGS = "- m64 - DBUILD_REAL_64_BIT_MODE.

    export CFLAGS

    CXXFLAGS = "- m64 - DBUILD_REAL_64_BIT_MODE.

    export CXXFLAGS

    Now call unixODBC set up with prefixes desired - I usually specify my own odbc.ini/odbcinst.ini site:

    . / configure - prefix = / u01/odbc64/product/unixODBC - sysconfdir = / u01/odbc64/product/unixODBC-enable-gui = no - enable-drivers = no

    then run

    and

  • CVS issues

    Initially, I upgraded my existing 4.1 to 5.0, vCenter Server I had some isses with the server I seem not to be able to solve.  After discussions here, we have decided to build a new vCenter 5.0 from scratch using SQL 2008 R2 for the database.

    I took a host out of the original cluster and I built a Windows 2008 Standard Edition Server and SQL 2008 R2 added.  I then loaded vCenter Server 5.0 U 1.  So far so good.  I created a data center and the cluster without any problem.  I'm Tournai on CVS and any of the host and the guest without problems. Now that I'll import the remaining hosts in the cluster, I get an error saying "the host could not be added to the VCA mode of the pole. Under voltage or suspended machines on the host can use using the UC features hidden by this mode. »

    I have a questions here because all the guests on the hosts in the old vCenter were created in 4.0 or 4.1 using the Merom VCA mode and they are running Merom for EVC mode.

    I had something similar to this when I created the orginal 4.0 cluster and I had to change the CPUID mask to make things work. This does not work in the first attempt to put a new server vCenter 5.0 in use.  I took the vCenter off the new cluster host, I was able to add all former hosts in the new cluster, but cannot add the host with vCenter. I kept getting the host cannot be added error. I tried the CPUID mask and couldn't make it work.

    I'm looking for advice or some KB articles to help.

    Thank you

    The simplest solution is power off all the virtual machines running, add the host to the cluster and then power on virtual machines. If you do this live, it becomes a bit complicated.

    Kind regards

  • Best laptop for Premiere Pro CC 2015?

    Hello

    I have a good system in my homeoffice, but now I need a laptop too, for when I m working in another office in the city. I m in a bit of a hurry and have not caught up to lately on all new laptops and things, so I hope that some of you guys are going to give it a try and help me with this one ;-)

    I already have a laptop old 4 year with only 4 GB of RAM and even if it was reasonable employment years in Photoshop CS4 etc it really doesn´t work for anything other than Word, and internetbrowsing more.

    So I need a laptop that will be good, but not a portable workstation $ 10,000...

    I mainly edit AVCHD files and nothing above 1080 50 p, but who knows if I have to deal with 4 K less than a year. The 4K is not a real dealbreaker - 1080 will be fine for a while, but I guess, as I mainly edit videos for use online. In addition, first, I use Indesign, Photoshop. Illustrator and Lightroom a lot.

    As I have VM will be sitting in a small office with two other people, I really need a laptop computer that is not a lot of noise when idle or normal use (like photoshop, etc.) I can live with a little bit of noise during video encoding/export, but not while I'm edditing in first...

    I thought about the ASUS ROG G751JT-T7018H - wich comes with 16 GB of RAM, 256 GB SSD + 1 TB of HARD drive / 7200 RPM,.

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M - 3 GB of GDDR5 memory and love at first sight...

    So the pricetag would be about $2500 I guess - Don t want to spend more. Anyone with experiences with this laptop - including noiselevel?

    My question is (and these question are general issues - not only on the the ASUS mentioned above):

    1 is 16 GB enough RAM - or 32 will make a huge difference? I don't see much improvements when I upgraded my office from 24 to 64 GB of RAM...

    2 Geforce Wich xxxM cards should be avoided - if any? The 970M is supported?

    3 wouldn't be better with a 1 TB drive SSD instead of 256 GB SSD + 1 TB HARD drive? Heat - and noisewise?

    4 think I read somewhere that an external drive (RAID) with crush could speed up things - do smooth editing - any thoughts on love at first sight?

    If you have any suggestions or experiences with Adobe CC running on any of the latest laptops from 2014/2015, please share them.

    THX in advance - and sorry for the long post...

    See you soon

    Well I'm not at all shocking in my family room with it when using the GPU or CPU for the full load running during benchmark PPBM very, but I would not compare to an office altogether.  But then how many times you'd see these extremes during a real edition session.when this is true almost completely silent and my use is current alternative 100% and I'm running the GPU for 50% memory overclocked clock.  It is a G750, I've not seen a G751 but I doubt they changed this aspect of the design.

  • Update v4.0 to v4.1 vCenter

    Every afternoon

    Planning of a vCenter spend 4.0 to 4.1, and she wonders if it is the best way to go on this subject (and faster/easier).

    VCenter currently lives on a 32-bit SP2 Win2003R2 server called CDP-VC01. I am aware of 4.1 needs a 64 bit OS so called for the following:

    1 perform a full backup of remote SQL 2008 DB

    2. turn off current vCenter Server

    3 remove the AD computer account

    4 join new vCenter server under the same name (CCP-VC01), OS Win2008R1 SP2 64-bit

    5. install vCenter 4.0 (same version that was on the previous vCenter server).

    6 point to remote DB existing

    7. test all right and everything works as expected

    8 upgrade to new server vCenter vCenter as per http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1022104 article

    That would sound the best way to cut courses to vCenter 4.1?

    Thank you all!

    You are welcome.  After installing vCenter 4.1, you're inventory will come back just as it was before the upgrade.

    One thing I do during updates is to enable DRS to 5 stars.  What is happening, it of sometimes that upgrade triggered a lot of DRS events because the hosts are in States of the connection because the vCenter agent and upgraded agent HA.  Once all hosts are connected with happiness in the inventory, I usually return to our fully automated 3 stars.

    Good luck!
