So this morning when I booted the Mac Book Pro running Leopard the Num Lock and Caps Lock LEDs are lit. However they are not functioning, in other words the keyboard is performing as if they are off
I restarted and same thing.
Anyone else had the problem?
No, I haven't.
Restart, and at the start-up chime hold down this key combination: command-opt-p-r
and hold it down for 4 chimes, then let go and let it restart normally.
I could be way wrong here. But I don't' think ppl understand that this machine is not supposed to be your workhorse.
It's supposed to be ridiculously small so every one stares art you w/ envy and wants to buy one of their own.
It's supposed to be ultra portable so you can be a student or professional that can actually work out of a computer w/o toting around a huge/heavy piece of hardware. Some laptops are small, but not like this
It's supposed to be allot of things. But I never think it was intended to do a download off your loaded 8/16GB camera card and process. And if your ever in the situation when that's your only choice. It just saved the day and let you do your job/project.
In the rare times you do have to do that. Just plop it right by your airport and let it churn away overnight.
I don't need the MacBook Air, but I understand it.
I have a Pro laptop but when I take it around town (and not shooting photos), 90% of the time the only features used are the wireless and one USB port. The features I don't use daily around town are precisely the features left off of the MacBook Air. For reading discs, connecting peripherals, and doing big jobs? I have a nice desktop computer at home for that. The laptop is a satellite.
Most photographers are better served by the MacBook Pro, simply because of the need for ports and maximum power and storage at any location. For photographers the Air is more of a curiosity that may be useful in personal life but is outside the scope of the profession.
Drag the bookmarklet onto your toolbar, click and voila - Safari stretches to full screen, regardless of where your Dock is parked.
Click it again and the viewport pops to 800px wide. In other words, if you are running Safari Stand with sidebar it will resize to 800px + sidebar. If the sidebar is off it will resize to 800px only. And yes, you can change the resize to 1024 (or "anything" else) if you want...
I had not heard of it and don't quite get it (the website isn't exactly full of info) -- is it a CS3 plug in or a standalone app? The UI certainly resembles CS's.
If it's easier to figure out than CS3 but with a decent amount of CS3-type functionality, and works with LR, I'd be in for $79 down the road . . .

It's a stand alone app.
According to the site: Designed from the ground up specifically for Mac users, Iris provides a powerful, intuitive, and easy-to-use solution for all your photo editing needs.Programmed to perform with a unique and elegant one-window interface, Iris renders confusing multiple palettes obsolete.
I've already tried it out and found a few things that the Adobe tem should pick up on:
There is a neat documents dock on the bottom of the screen that allows for quick switch between open documents. So even if your document is minimized, you can tell which one you need to click on to open the correct doc.
t also features a useful little zoom button that switches between common states and an iPhoto style slider that helps find you the correct magnification easily.
Under the File menu point there is a New from Clipboard option that simplifies this frequent task. I have no idea why Adobe didn't come up w/ this first.
I don't think the application is ever going to replace Photoshop. I do think it's going to be a great tool for those who can't justify the cost of a professional image editing application but still want "professional" results.

I don't know if you'd consider this close enough, but if you have an image on the Clipboard, and you hit the New shortcut in Photoshop, the document size defaults to the dimensions of whatever's on the Clipboard. So all you have to do is hit OK and paste. Granted, the Iris command is one less step, but clearly Adobe had thought of that task.
There's another one I read about where if you are in Photoshop's New dialog, and you want to match the size of another doc that's already open, you pick that doc from the Window menu and the New dialog fills in with that doc's dimensions.

I use this quite a bit. I guess that's why I was so adamant about the fact that Adobe didn't have that shortcut. But you are correct. They do. Just adding the extra step which is no big deal.

I'm gonna play w/ that tonight. I wish I knew this a long time ago. Thanks for the tip!
Is there a shortcut in Safari to load a url with the .com at the end, similar to cmd+return in Firefox? When I do it in Safari, it works, but loads the URL in a new tab.

Nope. Safari's supposed to be reasonably smart when it comes to entering url's though. Supposedly you can just put in cnn and hit enter and it'll figure it out. I haven't played around with it too much though.
btw, did you know in firefox you can also use shift-enter for .net and cmd-shift-enter for .org?
Y'all don't want to hear me, you just want to dance.

It usually works, but it is slow.
I have used the other shortcuts with FF, but I FF has not been working well for me lately, so back to Safari I go.

Once again, I learned this from my 14 YO daughter: up in the address line (or whatever it's properly called) hit CMD-a ("a" is for "all") then just type in the "body" of the url, such as "dgrin" -- Safari will take care of the rest, and for me, not in a new tab.

If you don't want to click in the address thingy, just type cmd-l, for location, and it will highlight the address thingy without any clicky.

Wow, you're right -- that saves gobs of nanoseconds!
Do you run both Mac and Windows? I saw on the "Mouse for Photoshop" post in Digital Darkroom Gear that you have a Wacom tablet, but it looks to me like that supports Windows only, yet you know so much about Mac.

Note that is not just a Mac tip. The shortcut appears in the menu of every Web browser I've used on Windows and Mac, although on Windows it's Ctrl-L of course.

Been using Wacom tablets on my Macs for over 10 years.
My first one used an ADB (Apple Desktop Bus) cable, since USB had not been invented yet...
Hey slo. You know those small driver CD's about 3.5 " across ?
I got one with a new nokia dog & bone that work gave me today. Its got the drivers on it to get the photos etc off the phone.
So im cool at using this tiny CD in my flat PC CD draw (you just pull them out) but im not to keen on dropping it into the vertical iMac slot. Will it go in & work like a normal size CD ?

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!
Try and get a $100 tag at service for your troubles...:cry
I've heard you can get adaptors for them, but I would try some other method. Apple slot drives DO NOT accept mini-discs. At all. No way. Please don't try...

They make cool adapters that supposed work for needs like this. But I've never used it and I think it would be more hassle thatn it's worth IMO. I'd just dub the disk onto a standard size and drop it in the slot.
