The Chinese New Year is indisputably China's biggest holiday. The one in 2015 marked the beginning of the Chinese year 4712. Chinese New Year shifts somewhat over January and February. In 2011 it started on February 3. The entire holiday period is called chunjie , or spring festival (Chinese consider spring to be the beginning of the new year). The biggest of China's three "golden weeks," it lasts for three to 15 days, depending on how the holiday is defined, and has traditionally been regarded as the best time for family reunions and is characterized by long journeys home and clogged transportation routes.
According to legend the Chinese New Year celebration began as a way to drive away the ferocious Nin monster, which regularly arrived at midnight on New Years, demanding a snack and could only be driven off by loud noises and lights like those made by firecrackers. For a while Chinese New Year was banned by the Communists. These days many people take off the 15 days between New Year's Day and the Lantern Festival. Some use the holiday as an excuse to take an extended vacation of several weeks.

Celebrating Chinese New Year
Bye to the old year Chinese New Year is celebrated with spring cleaning, feasts, fireworks and family gatherings. Food is piled up to symbolize abundance; people dress in nice clothes; traditional cakes are distributed among family members; fruits, candies and ornamental packages of tea are given to friends as gifts. Firecrackers are set off to ward off evil spirits. Most people take at least a week off from work and visit their home towns or villages. Everything is closed for at least three days (New Year's Day and the two days afterwards)---even stores that normally stay open for 24 hours. Before and afterwards the roads, trains, and airports are packed with people trying to get home and back.
Lunar New Year celebrations in China are typically marked by travel back home, dumplings with family members and, on New Year's Eve, the Spring Festival Gala on China Central Television. Since time immemorial Chinese New Year Festival has been the most important day in the year. In the old days it was about new clothes, sweets, and fireworks now it is digital gifts bland, over-produced television and smog-alter firework bans. China's Lunar New Year migration is often referred to as the largest movement of people anywhere, with 3.6 billion trips of all lengths by bus, plane and train expected to be made over the 40-day travel rush. Chinese burn incense as they pray for health and fortune. Setting off fireworks celebrates renewal and wards off evil spirits.
Christopher Bodeen of Associated Press wrote: "The holiday is generally a time for feasting and visiting friends and relatives, along with making visits to Buddhist and Taoist temples, many of which hold fairs and stage performances. Mainland Chinese have traditionally tuned into the annual New Year's Eve variety show, which state broadcaster CCTV is hoping to reinforce this year with a cast of bigger-wattage stars overseen by popular film director Feng Xiaogang. Mainland China will virtually shut down for the next seven days. , and many residents of the polluted capital, Beijing, already have departed for holiday destinations. A continuing campaign against waste and corruption foreshadows more modest celebrations this year, while a crackdown on air pollution seems to be reining in the usual orgy of fireworks."

New Year is the the busiest time for fortune tellers, when people want to get a sense of what the change in the zodiac year will bring. "The disasters will be related to wind, that's air pollution, which comes in with dirty air currents and affects everyone's lives," fortuneteller Dong Jialing told CCTV before the Year of the Sheep beginning in February 2015.

Premier Wen Jiaobao made a point of spending the holiday eve with workers and the poor. In February 2012, before he stepped down, he celebrated the early part of the holiday with victims of earthquakes and landslides in western China. The same year new Communist Party leader Xi Jinping visited with policemen, subway construction workers, taxi drivers and street cleaners in Beijing to thank them for their service.
Chinese Lunar New Year in Asia and Around the World
New Year market in DalianChinese New Year---as well as Tet (the three-day Vietnamese New Year) and Suhl (the three- to four-day Korean New Year festival)---may fall on any day between January 21 and February 19. It begins on the first new moon to occur after the sun enters the constellation of Aquarius. The 15th day of the new year---the first full moon of the year, the day of the Lantern Festival---officially marks the end of the celebrations. There are auspicious days for returning to work in the new year that vary according to dialect group and family custom
Chinese Lunar New Year is celebrated throughout Asia: in Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan; and among Vietnamese and Korean communities. In North Korea's capital, Pyongyang, the faithful leave flower offerings and bowed deeply before giant statues of national founder Kim Il Sung and his son and late leader Kim Jong Il. In Jakarta, Indonesia, where Chinese cultural observances had been suppressed before 1998, ethnic Chinese flocked to the city's oldest temple to pray for health and success. Similar activities are held among Chinese communities in Thailand, the U.S., Britain, Malaysia and other places large numbers of ethnic Chinese reside
According to Reuters: Festivities are held in cities from Paris to Phnom Penh, both as a celebration by their Chinese communities and to cater to the throngs of visitors arriving for sightseeing and shopping. Las Vegas has long made a point of marking the occasion, and hotels, shops and casinos were festooned with New Year greetings and decorations in auspicious red and gold to appeal to big-spending Chinese visitors.
Chinese New Year Fireworks
New Year at a temple Fireworks are a key element of the of the New Year's celebration. Lighting them and making noise is said to scare away evil spirits and attract the god of wealth. Many regard fireworks as the highlight of holiday season and say without them the holiday is boring. One man told the New York Times, otherwise "people do nothing apart from eating dumplings and watching TV." See Entertainment
Firecrackers, Roman candles, noisemakers and cherry bombs are widely available in China and used in all kinds of celebrations and are particularly associated with Chinese New Year. China in where many of the world's fireworks are made. Several hundred people are killed or injured by fireworks every year.
During the New Year holiday season in Beijing in 2007, accidents involving fireworks injured 714 people, six of them seriously, and started 253 fires. Many injuries were blamed on "improper use of fireworks." Many accidents were blamed on shoddy products. The media reported one death related to fireworks. Another person had to have an eye removed. In 2006, accidental fires killed 63 people during the Lunar New Year season.
In February 2011, a fire set off by New Year fireworks destroyed a five-star hotel in Shenyang in Liaoning Province. Firefighters had trouble putting out the fire as the hotel building was 219 meters high and water shot from fire engines reached only 50 meters.
Chinese Ban on Fireworks
In February 2010, 19 people were killed in an explosion in southern Guangdong Province that was triggered by people setting off fireworks to celebrate the Lunar New Year.
A ban on fireworks in the inner city of Beijing was imposed in 1994 out of concerns about injuries, fires and noise. More than a quarter of a million police were put on the streets in Beijing on New Years Day as part of the effort to prevent fireworks-related accidents. The ban was not welcomed and was widely regarded as a way to undermine the festive nature of the holiday. One man told the New York Times, "When fireworks were banned it took the atmosphere out of it. All these things about safety and the environment---don't worry about it. Give people some fun."
The rules were widely ignored. During the last New Year's Eve skyrockets and fire crackers were set off all night long. In the morning streets all over the city were littered with tattered paper and casings from spent fireworks.
The ban on fireworks in the inner city of Beijing was lifted in 2005. Most people were happy with the decision. The new rules allowed fireworks to be set off at specific times during the New Year holiday period and prohibited their use near schools, hospitals, historic buildings and bus stations. The rules also stated fireworks could not be launched from roof tops or balconies and said: "When you set off fireworks, do not throw them at people."
Fewer New Year Fireworks: an Anti- Pollution Measure in Beijing
Christopher Bodeen of Associated Press wrote: "The annual Lunar New Year fireworks barrage in Beijing was notably muted following government appeals to reduce the smoky celebrations after air pollution rose to near catastrophic levels over recent weeks. China's capital saw almost twice the number of smoggy days as usual in January, with levels of small particle air pollution going off the charts at times. That prompted calls for restraint, along with a reduction in the number of licensed fireworks sellers and the amount of fireworks on sale. The fusillades that began on Lunar New Year's eve on Saturday night started later than usual but still grew to furious intensity at midnight. They also died out earlier than usual on Sunday morning, and relatively few explosions were heard during the day. ."[Source: Christopher Bodeen, Associated Press, February 10, 2013]
"Sales of fireworks" on the five days before New Year "fell 37 percent over the same period last year, from 410,000 cartons to just 260,000, Xinhua reported, citing figures from the city government. The city authorized 1,337 fireworks stands this year, down from 1,429 last year, and allowed 750,000 cartons of fireworks to go on sale, down from 810,000. The Beijing Daily, the city government's official newspaper, carried appeals last week for residents to hold off on fireworks celebrations, saying not doing so would significantly worsen levels of PM2.5 particle pollution forecast to be in the hazardous zone. City environmental bureau readings showed levels well above 200 in most parts of the city, dangerous but still well below readings of more than 700 seen last month, when Beijing experienced 23 days of smog, up from 10 the previous January."
Beijing permits fireworks displays over a 16-day period surrounding the Lunar New Year, but largely restricts them to suburban areas outside the densely populated city center. The fireworks display in 2012 "created a thick haze that sent 2.5 microgram pollution levels as high as 1,500." Beijing also saw just 25 injuries and 83 fire emergencies related to fireworks in 2013, down almost 29 percent and 45 percent, respectively, from 2012.

Chinese New Year in the Cell Phone-Smart Phone Era
Zeng Jing wrote in Asian Creative Transformations, "The digital evolution of New Year's greetings extends back two decades, prior to the advent of the social media age. From the late 1990s and early 2000s SMS messaging took off in China, mainly thanks to the proliferation of mobile phones. Since then SMS text messages have been widely used for New Year's greetings. During the 2009 Spring Festival for instance, SMS traffic accounted for 19 billion messages. [Source: Zeng Jing, Asian Creative Transformations, February 23, 2015 *~*]
"In 2012, the launch of the Weibo (micro-blogging) service irrevocably changed the experience of Chinese New Year. The Spring Festival had gone online. Instead of the 'interpersonal' exchanges of text messages, New Year greetings moved to an open platform. During the 2013 festival Weibo recorded an average of 32,312 messages per second in the hours leading up to midnight. This broke Twitter's world record of 25,088 tweets per second when Castle in the Sky launched in Japan. *~*
"Weibo's dominance was short lived however. In 2013, the instant-messaging service known as WeChat (weixin) became the market leader in China's social media revolution. With 400+ million subscribers and the innovative feature of the virtual red-envelope, WeChat has both reconnected tradition and redefined the New Year's experience. Over 1 billion red envelopes were exchanged on Chinese New Year's Eve. The tradition of distributing gift money is now digitized on a massive scale. Of course, the invention of an instant messaging app is not the only reason. This phenomenal change in the pattern of New Year obligations is underpinned by a surge in China's digital economy, technological convergence, and more importantly a mature user mentality: in other words these days people are more comfortable with digital money and they trust the platform. *~*
"Nowadays, it is all about connections enabled by technologies. As I wrap my homemade dumplings for friends, I need my messaging app to send and receive free New Year greetings. I need video calls to 'participate' in my family's dinner party. And I need Youtube to stream live video of the New Year Gala. All of these new media platforms connect overseas Chinese to their motherland. The virtual red envelope is definitely a highlight of my 2015 Lunar New Year. What will be next? I am looking forward to next year already.

Safe & Sounds (2016-ongoing)
In order to maintain sustainable communities, countries, environment and economies we need to recognise our common humanity. More than ever, the world has recently seen huge numbers of people displaced from their homes, countries, families and all that seems familiar. Blighted by war, unrest, uncertain political situations, persecution, economic and social deprivation numbers of people have sought and are seeking sanctuary and asylumin the UK and other parts of the world.
Having delivered Kandu's multi-faceted projects to so many groups a need for activities and experiences beyond those of immediate practical aid was seen to have ongoing benefits for displaced groups of people. We had worked closely with the Harbour Project in Swindon City of sanctuary on the Kandu Kicks tournament finding football to be a universal language.
Safe and Sounds was launched in the summer of 2016 with Kandu raising funds to enable the delivery of projects, support and activities to organisations working with refugees and asylum seekers.
We have collaborated once again with former Spice girl Melanie C, this time to release the single 'Cosmic Shower' (Lost Humanity) on June 18th 2016.
The single was released as part of a funds/awareness-raising initiative to support Kandu's work through their Safe and Sounds project with refugees, asylum seekers and their host communities in the UK. Kandu is already working alongside organisations such as the Harbour Project in Swindon that support refugees and asylum seekers.
A large scale painting by Harriet Whyatt, depicting the destruction and despair in Syria, is the cover for the CD single.
Alongside Melanie's input, 10 artists (many born or living in the Wiltshire area) donated art work to be auctioned in order to further raise funds. The start of the art auction coincided with the release of 'Cosmic Shower (Lost Humanity)' on the 28th-31st July.
A large scale painting by Harriet Whyatt, depicting the destruction and despair in Syria, is the cover for the CD single. Harriet has also donated three limited edition framed prints which feature her distinctive style of working.
A whole variety of 2D and 3D work has been donated, highlighting the diversity of approaches whilst portraying similar themes.
Paintings by artists Caroline Cattermull, Alex Moran, Ray Ward and, Rachel Makepeace form part of the art auction.
In addition to the art auction and exhibition, a film 'The Orange Tree' by Sion Evans Berry will be shown. It spends time with independent volunteers on the island of Lesbos, Greece and refugees that have made their way to Piraeus harbor in Athens, from their home countries and gives us a snapshot of time in human history.
For this project so far, we have:
Thanks to all at The Albany, Great Portland Street, for all their help on the Safe & Sounds launch event
- Delivered a week of music workshops, games and cookery in Swindon at the harbour Project.
- Engaged the Harbour Project team of visitors in the annual Kandu Kicks football tournament.

On three separate occasions this July, staffers for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) began preparing for the rollout of his new single-payer health care bill.
But every time they started to do so, Senate Republicans would improbably revive their push to repeal Obamacare — and Sanders's team would postpone the launch of their "Medicare-for-all" campaign, according to aides to the Vermont senator.
"Bernie has repeated to us over and over and over again, 'Our top priority is doing everything in our power to make sure 20 million people don't lose their health care,'" said Ari Rabin-Havt, a senior adviser to Sanders.
More from Vox:
Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, and why Trump is so afraid of it, explained
The opioid epidemic, explained
The Trump administration's new war on affirmative action, explained
This was something of a relief to some Democrats. Just last year, the party warily eyed Sanders as a potential liability as much as a potential ally. After all, he has repeatedly insisted that Obamacare was, at best, a way station on the road to single-payer.
"Obamacare was a small victory for the uninsured, but it is time to take the fight against inadequate coverage even further," he said.
After the election, some feared the Vermont independent would continue to torch Obamacare's inadequacies, while turning his passionate followers against the Democratic Party.
But at least during the Obamacare repeal fight in Congress, Sanders was a team player. He brought crowds to dozens of rallies with Senate Democrats who had once opposed him. He shut a Republican attempt to expose Democrats' divisions, despite the interest of some of his team. And, perhaps most importantly, he marshaled his resources and newfound star power in defense of Democrats' top priority: showing what it might look like for his movement to be incorporated into the party apparatus, rather than having it try to knock down its gates.
"Our job today is to defend the Affordable Care Act," Sanders said at several of his rallies this year. "Our job tomorrow is to create a Medicare-for-all single-payer system."
The Vermont senator's defense of the law didn't come out of nowhere. In the early evening hours of December 9, 2016, roughly a dozen Sanders staffers crowded around a conference table in room 332 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building.
It was one of their first strategy meetings since the election. Sanders told them that they were being tasked with getting "out in front" of Republicans' health care agenda, according to aides who attended the meeting. At that point, nobody knew what Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell would propose — or if he'd propose anything at all. Sanders said he wanted the assembled aides, including his chief of staff and senior aides, to preemptively plan on holding health care rallies in states across the country focused on defending the Affordable Care Act.
Sanders's team left the meeting baffled by the request. One wondered how they were expected to draw crowds to rallies over an unknown bill. "We walked out of it and said, 'How are we going to do this? This is crazy,'" one recalled.
They started in the freezing cold. On January 15, as temperatures hit the low teens, Sanders joined Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (NY) and Michigan Sens. Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters onstage at Macomb County Community College. Eight thousand people showed up.
"Sanders knew he had a unique megaphone in American politics, and he used it to shout it at the top of his lungs at a time when few were paying attention to the health care fight," said Ben Wikler, Washington director of MoveOn.org.
He kept shouting. In Portland, Maine, long before Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) proved a crucial health care "no" vote, about 1,000 people watched Sanders decry the bill. After his favored candidate lost the contentious race to lead the Democratic National Committee, Sanders led aneight-state, 6,000-mile tour with new DNC Chair Tom Perez to kill "Trumpcare." For two days in June, his team and its gray van traveled 348 miles in Appalachia to build public opposition to the Republican health bill.
Activists say that proved a crucial step in showing Democratic lawmakers that the public would join them in fighting for the ACA.
"There were thousands of people at these rallies — in state after state after state after state. It was transformative for Democratic senators to see," said Wikler. "They learned that people will show up, even in the bitter cold, to fight for the Affordable Care Act — which had once been written off as an unpopular and potentially doomed chunk of the Obama legacy."
As the debate over the Senate Republican bill stretched from one month to four, and then from four months to seven, Sanders resisted the temptation to make his whirlwind tour across the country primarily about single-payer health care.
"Throughout this whole thing, there was always the temptation to pivot to make a stronger case for Medicare-for-all, rather than keeping the ACA at the center of our focus," one aide recalled. "Bernie always insisted to us: 'No, no, no.'"
In March, Sanders was already promising to "soon" announce his single-payer bill. It still hasn't been released.
Republicans even tried to force the single-payer out of him. On July 26, Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) announced he would introduce a single-payer amendment in an upcoming vote-a-rama that he himself opposed. Daines's amendment was an attempt to splinter the Democratic caucus, thereby exposing the minority party's divisions on how to reform the health care system.
At least some members of Sanders's team saw it as a golden opportunity.
"There were definitely people — both inside and outside our office — who were saying, 'This is it! This is what we've been waiting for!'" one Sanders aide said.
After speaking with Schumer, Sanders himself shut down the idea, telling his staffers that they would not be going along with Daines's gambit. Sanders and all but five Democratic senators abstained from the vote, and the story was quickly buried. "Bernie's instinct immediately was to say, 'We're not going to engage on this,'" according to the aide.
As Sanders barnstormed across the country to defend Obamacare, his rallies looked like a new fusion in the party — partly the Sanders faithful, but they were complemented by organizations and voters who had been faithful to Hillary Clinton too.
About 10 minutes after Sanders concluded one speech in downtown Pittsburgh in late June, Jared McCray and his sister remained behind the crowd. They looked out at the empty stage where Sanders had just stood.
"This is about people's lives," said McCray, echoing a line from Sanders's speech.
Both had refused to support Clinton in the general election. "We have no regrets" about sitting out the election, said McCray, 24, a touch defensively.
A few feet away from them stood Dean Ofran, 54. A lifelong Pittsburgh resident, Ofran had voted for Clinton in the primary, though he said he harbored no animus toward the Vermont senator.
"Of course I support single-payer — the primary wasn't about that," Ofran said. "I just didn't think he could beat Trump. I still don't think he could."
It was a similar story in West Virginia. In the crowd in Charleston, two young men — Sean McAllister, 18, and Sean Hill, 17 — said they both cast write-in ballots for Sanders in the general election. Though they wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton, they had showed up to a rally to defend Obamacare, in part because they feared the impacts of the Republican bill's Medicaid cuts. The "Bernie or Bust" voters who wouldn't defend President Barack Obama's legacy against Trump last November now, suddenly, were.
"I've been trying to persuade my mom that she was misled by Trump and that Bernie wouldn't betray her like this," Hill said.
The work behind the scenes also reflected how Sanders's tour for Obamacare patched up the old party divisions, at least temporarily.
On the ground, Sanders's campaign helped endear him to local Democrats who once implacably opposed his candidacy. "There were a significant number of Clinton people who were there," said Joe Meyer, the mayor of Covington, in an interview about a Sanders rally in his city. "They certainly didn't stay home — and I think that tells you something. It shows the appeal of the message and the substance of the issue."
In late February, Sanders spoke at a dinner of the Kansas Democratic Party. He appeared onstage not just with Schumer and Stabenow, both of whom endorsed Clinton, but with Tom Perez and other Clinton backers such as Sens. Chris Van Hollen (MD), Kamala Harris (CA), Kirsten Gillibrand (NY), and Chris Murphy (CT).
Planned Parenthood endorsed Clinton in the primary, leading to an ugly public rift with Sanders in January 2016. But during the Obamacare fight, the two were closely allied. Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards appeared with Sanders and Perez at a rally in Nevada, and Planned Parenthood volunteers stood alongside Sanders's supporters at events around the country. In last Thursday's rally outside the Capitol, Sanders returned the favor and specifically thanked Richards and Planned Parenthood — another sign that the party's internal grievances had been patched up, at least as long as Senate Republicans' bill hung overhead.
As Vox's Matt Yglesias noted, Sanders is doing everything you'd expect him to do in order to run in 2020. He's beefed up his Washington staff, is working to build a national organization called Our Revolution, and has held rallies across the country that still draw thousands of people.
Perhaps most importantly, he's shifted some of his policy positions to the center, while also retaining what separates him from most national Democrats.
"Sanders has deeply engaged his base using Medicare-for-all while reconfiguring other elements of his platform into something more moderate than the one he actually ran on and for which a much stronger electability argument can be made," Yglesias wrote. "In subtle ways he's shifted his policy commitments to the center, making himself a more broadly acceptable figure in the party."
But even as he reaches a detente with national Democrats, Sanders continues to try to revive the movement beyond Washington that fueled his primary campaign. As Vox's Ezra Klein noted, Sanders ran for office believing that President Obama's core failure was in surrendering the "outside game" — that Democrats had to learn to take their message far beyond Capitol Hill for it to impact Washington.
"The major political, strategic difference I have with Obama," Sanders told Vox's Andrew Prokop way back in 2014, "is it's too late to do anything inside the Beltway. You gotta take your case to the American people, mobilize them, and organize them at the grassroots level in a way that we have never done before."
Sanders is now determined to transform his movement campaign to save Obamacare into one to pressure Democrats to embrace Medicare-for-all. On Wednesday, the Guardian's Lauren Gambino reported that Sanders had started a six-figure digital advertising campaign on Facebook and Google to generate public "co-sponsors" of his single-payer bill. He's sent a message to supporters asking for ideas about the plan, and is expected to soon hold rallies to push explicitly for Medicare-for-all.
Privately, Senate Democratic staffers were thankful that Sanders brought the "outside game" to Obamacare's defense. But when he does so this September, it may not be as much to national Democrats' liking.
"What you saw was a rising up of the American people," Sanders told Chris Hayes after Republicans failed to pass their bill. "That's why it was a victory."

We just received significant quantities of all our DB-25 cables. We have 5′ and 10′ versions of cables with DB-25 to TRS, XLRM, and XLRF. We also have a DB-25 to DB-25 in a 10′ length. The DB-25 connector is all metal with full shielding. The pinout is standard Tascam analog wiring. The fanout has been reinforced with double shrink tubing and every conductor is insulated with shrink tubing inside the connector as well. The construction on these cables is very rugged and it's an obvious upgrade from the low-end plastic cables flooding the market.
One of the most common uses of DB-25 cables these days is with the Presonus 16.4.2 and 24.4.2 mixers. They have direct outs on the back panel in banks of 8 channels using a DB-25 connector. So, it's easy to connect to a personal mixing system, external recording device or any other analog device that needs to be interfaced with the direct outs from the Presonus Studio Live mixers.

Acceptability of a Community-Based Outreach HIV-Testing Intervention Using Oral Fluid Collection Devices and Web-Based HIV Test Result Collection Among Sub-Saharan African Migrants: A Mixed-Method Study
Late human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) diagnosis is common among sub-Saharan African migrants. To address their barriers to HIV testing uptake and improve timely HIV diagnoses and linkage to care, the outreach HIV testing intervention, "swab2know," was developed. It combined a community-based approach with innovative testing methods: oral fluid self-sampling and the choice between Web-based HIV test result collections using a secured website or post-test counseling at a sexual health clinic. The sessions included an informational speech delivered by a physician of sub-Saharan African origin and testimonies by community members living with HIV.
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the intervention's acceptability among sub-Saharan African migrants and its potential to reach subgroups at higher risk for HIV infection and to identify facilitators and barriers for HIV testing uptake.

I have updated to Photoshop CS6 and I'm having a problem with camera raw adjustments.
When loading a batch of images into camera raw all is fine then after a few images have been adjusted everything slows down. Adjustment controls take 1-3 seconds to activate when clicked on.
Using MacPro 2.66 Nehalem 8 core, 32GB RAM, OS 10.6.8, ATI Radeon HD 4870
Any suggestions welcomed.
Have tried:
disabling all plug-ins
Launching Camera Raw from Photoshop and Bridge

Hi Adriana,
I get slowdowns in the multiple seconds category, sometimes with as little as one image, but always with 10 or more. For example, load 10 nikon d800 raw files, start going down the line adjusting WB, shadow, highlight, blacks, etc, and by the 3rd image, I guarantee you will be having to wait a second or two before you see your adjustments redraw on the main preview image. After that, I usually use the adjustment brush for simple burning,dodging, mostly of faces, or darkening distracting areas. Then the slowdowns really increase. I almost can't use the brush because I have to wait so long for the adjustment to show up on the preview. I have automasking on almost always. But really, just fine tuning your image by nothing more than adjusting WB, Shadows, Highlights, etc and after a few images you will see slowdown. My system specs are above. I agree that the quality is better, but currently I use cs5.1 for all my work except for a couple images that I really wanted but over exposed, then I crank up cs6 and have been able to save them, otherwise I don't use my expensive new software at all because it takes forever! I haven't returned it yet because I hope you will fix it, and also, one image it saved for me was worth the cost of the update, so on that I guess we're even.
Have you updated the ACR plug-in to version 7.1?
I'm not familiar with your video card. How much VRAM is there on it? Just mentioning this in case that is the bottleneck. I do not know, obviously.
Yes, it's the latest version.
The card has 512 MB VRAM.
I noticed that in neither of your two threads have you mentioned trashing your Photoshop's preferences, which is normally the very first thing to try.
Hold Down Command+Option+Shift as you launch Photoshop until you see a dialog box allowing you to delete and re-set all your Photoshop's preferences.
One more thing: Do you have a dedicated, physically separate (preferably internal) hard drive set up as your primary Photoshop scratch disk? Is it sufficiently large? Figure on up to 100 times or more the size of your largest file multiplied by the number of files you have open.
Even with 32 GB or 64 GB of installed RAM, Photoshop always creates a scratch disk the instant you open an image file or create a new document.
Thanks, I'll have a look next week when l'm in the studio.
Thanks. I have tried deleting photoshop preferences manually as suggested by the Adobe help line. No effect on problem. The scratch disk is 335 GB on the same drive as the operating system and photoshop. Disk is 640gb Hitachi HDE721064SLA360.

…The scratch disk is 335 GB on the same drive as the operating system and photoshop…
The size is good, but the problem with its being on the boot drive is that the Photoshop scratch disk will be constantly competing with the swap files of the OS for the use of the one set of read/write heads of the single drive, slowing you down. I have no idea how this affects ACR, but it definitely bogs down Photoshop.
I just tested the scenario you described (I have a PC, but with similar compute power) and even when I'm adjusting controls with 50 raw files selected the preview is updated virtually instantaneously. I even went through all 50 individually and adjusted controls specific to them. It was fast to the last. Your hardware should definitely be providing you better performance than what you're seeing.
I have a friend who has told me he has the exact same issue you're reporting (he said "2-3 seconds for control responses" and "worse when working on groups of images"), but with Lightroom on an i7-based PC (Windows 7). I created a thread some time back about it. He ended up buying a new high-end video card (switching from nVidia to ATI in the process) and while it the more powerful GPU made a little difference for most everything across the board it specifically did NOT solve this problem. He said the very latest Lightroom release (just weeks ago) helped a lot, but it still slows down some after a while or under some conditions he can't nail down. Perhaps this is something Adobe has found and fixed, and we will see it in Camera Raw 7.2.
I have not yet seen a fix or workaround that directly addresses this for the people who are experiencing it.
Some additional questions about things that might be pertinent on your system:
I think there's a basic problem somewhere in the software that is triggered only under some conditions or on some systems.
Station_two, I take it your control response in Camera Raw is fluid?
I have found the same thing. When processing my d800 files the slowdown becomes so severe that I can no longer use ACR 7.1 and fire up photoshop 5.1 to work. Another thing I notice even with my d3s files, is that processing and saving batches of images is much slower. In PS5.1 I can watch as ACR saves 4 images simultaneously. You can see the processing indicator on 4 images at a time and file saving (I usually process to large JPG for client delivery and reprints of weddings) Yet with the new ACR, it works on one image at a time while processing and saving and according to my stopwatch, is almost 4x slower to process and save a batch of raw images to jpg than ACR 6.7 (or whatever the last update was with cs5.5)
This is in addition to finding all the slowdowns described above during the adjustment process itself. I can not use this version.
System info, mac pro, 12 core 3.2 gz 32 mb ram 512 gb ssd drive as scratch disc. I usually process 50-80 images at a go and it is a mix of global adjustments and some spot adjustments in ACR. Using 7.1 and quite unhappy with it. The quality is a bit better, but not as a trade for several extra hours of computer time per wedding.
With that powerful a system, it's indeed unfortunate you are seeing performance issues.
The one thing you might want to try is disabling the intrusive and useless Spotlight. Above all, make sure it's not trying to index your SSD scratch disk drive and/or your image-file storage drive.
Is there an industry-wide standard size (in pixels) at which wedding photographers deliver JPEGs that are represented to clients as being "full resolution JPEGs"? I'm asking because the pro that covered my daughter's wedding a couple of years ago did a super fantastic job but the large-group-pictures JPEGs are a wee bit too small to be printed. They're only 1280 by 1920 pixels from a Canon EOS 5D. There were several thousand shots, and I can see why that shoot would have been tough to handle at a larger resolution. Thanks in advance.
Several thousand shots seems an awfull lot. I come from the old school of less is usually more. My usual routine is to shoot in RAW and carefully process images into jpeg at the native/full resolution of the camera being used. Just tested the Mk 1 EOS. At full resolution the pixel dimensions are 4368x2912 uncropped. Your images may have been cropped, processed from RAW at a lower reolution or shot at a lower resolution jpeg. The last being the most obvious solution for shooting so many images. Cheers.
How do I disable Spotlight? I've uncheked all boxes in preferences.

Just make sure that all drives you do not want indexed and searched are so listed in the Privacy Tab of the Spotlight Preferences Panel in System Preferences:

Yes, indeed. She and her assistant started shooting the "Getting Ready" sequence in the morning and went on through the ceremony, reception, formal dinner and all-night party until the wee hours of the next morning. Yes, my guess is also she was shooting low-res JPEGs rather than RAW. She did a wonderful job of lighting and post-processing, and all but the large groups are super!
Thank you for your off-topic response.
Disabling Spotlight had no effect on the slow CS6 Camera Raw adjustment problem. Processing latest wedding with Adobe DNG Converter and Photoshop CS3. Worth a try.
Thanks, I'll try spotlight. But right after I posted, I went back to toning more raw files, but switched back to PS 5.1 and no problems, so unlikely is scratch disc. I think Adobe has some work to do.
As for wedding, we shoot full day, getting ready to bitter end and it usually works out to around 600 images. Full size file delivers means at the camera native resolution after any cropping. Personally, I would never give jpg's straight out of the camera even as proofs, though they are getting a lot better these days. Some photographers hold back the full size files to make more money on reprints and usually have an option for you to buyout the disc. Maybe try contacting her/him
I just want to stress here that this CANNOT be a simple performance issue. There's definitely something up when two similar 8 core machines with similar video cards yield performance that differs from 3 seconds to an imperceptible fraction of a second, EVEN IF they're running different OSs.
To summarize:
tahoelight: Dual quad core Xeon (Nehalem) 2.66 GHz , 32 GB, Radeon HD 4870: 1-3 second control response
Noel Carboni: Dual quad core Xeon (Harpertown) 3.16 GHz, 16 GB, Radeon HD 5670: (estimated) 0.1 second control response
Relative performance (higher is better, courtesy Passmark Benchmark😞
Dual Xeon X5550 2.66 GHz: 10,727
Dual Xeon X5460 3.16 GHz: 9,583
Radeon 4870: 1,737
Radeon 5670: 1,234
Clearly the more powerful machine should not be 1/10 to 1/30 as fast to interact with the user!
Adobe has said the GPU doesn't play into Camera Raw performance, so what's up here?
Adobe seems to be a bit silent across the various forums lately. I hope they haven't been instructed to avoid participating... That would be a shame, as it's one thing Adobe has been doing right.
FYI, station_two will be happy to know I've disabled Windows' equivalent of spotblight (indexing). Some concepts are universally good.
Just to clarify, I'm on a 2010 dual 6 core Xeon 2.66 ghz, 32GB Ram, ATI Radeon HD 5870 card.The last wedding I shot was with my d3s's, I left the D800 at home and working with photoshop 5.1 and ACR 6.7 I still have no delays in adjustments and redraws of previews compared to acr 7.1 AND ACR6.7 saves over twice as fast to my ssd drive. Both versions use the SSD drive for scratch also and have the same memory allotment (80%)
In short, I have photoshop 6, but unless I want to waste extra HOURS per wedding I can not use it. It sits useless on my computer while I work in cs5.1 I have 5 other machines that are NOT going to be upgraded until Adobe gets on this.

They (I'm assuming you mean Eric) haven't been active on the forums because some of the engineers are taking time off while planning for the future. After a major release (LR4 & ACR 4) there's a serious lack of energy and spending a lot of time on the forums isn't how you get your juices back flowing...
As regarding performance problems, it really, REALLY depends on what you are doing and how you've done it. There are lots of image adjustments that are processor intensive and when added together are likely to compound performance issues. Lot's of little isolated things can add up to painfully slow working...I've seen it at times. Lens Corrections plus high noise reduction plus multiple adjustment brush pins plus Grain (reducing noise and adding grain can be a real slowdown when previewing and zooming). If you decide to show the brush mask expect another performance hit.
Add this on top of PV 2012 which is much more CPU intensive than PV 2010 and things multiply...sometimes geometrically.
So, either the engineers need to speed up the pipeline or we need to wait for new, even faster CPUs...both will take some time...
Having the same problem on a Windows 7 x64 quadcore machine running Bridge/Camera Raw CS6. CS5 runs fine. I notice it most on an 18MP image (DNG format) when I paint a large Adjustment Brush area -- any new strokes peaks all the CPUs to 100% and hangs the system until the screen refreshes (4-5 seconds each). Oh well. I've learned not to buy any Adobe products until at least the first patches are released.

Jeff, your comment seems inapplicable to the specific problem being discussed here. It's been clearly shown that a faster system is delivering a 10x slower user interface experience. This is beyond just a performance issue. That's obvious even to a casual obsever.
For those of you having the problem, please describe exactly what you see when you open a fresh image (without prior settings), what your default settings are, and what response times you're seeing from which specific controls. Ideally, post a raw image and the XMP that goes with it (as saved by your copy of Camera Raw), then others can try to reproduce the problem using the same operations you're using, and you'll have direct comparison info.
Those experiencing the problem need to make it clearly known that the problem is more than just an annoyance, because people may try to downplay it, but rather it is a serious issue (several seconds to see a screen update absolutely isn't acceptable, when it's been shown it can happen in a tiny fraction of a second).
Someone at Adobe who knows what they're doing needs to take this seriously.
Nicely put Noel .
Hopefully Adobe is listening even if not talking...

I guess you missed the part about the difficulty in determining EXACTLY why some people are seeing slowdowns and other are not?
Lately I've noticed a real slow down when turning on the Adjustment Brush mask preview and trying to work...painfully slow (and I've pinged Eric about it).
If there was a repeatable use case where the engineers could say, if you do this then things turn to crap I suspect they would work hard to fix it in a dot release...the problem is that as far as I know there's no reliable method of determining exactly what series of steps results in serious slowdowns. Can you shed light? If not then you are just adding to the chaos and not resolving any issues...let us know when you have any definitive answers...otherwise you're taking a stab in the dark like the rest of us.
If you can describe exactly what adjustments were made both local and global and also if you could submit files with xmps attached, (as Jeff mentioned), it would be very helpful to us. Including the OS spec is also useful. You are welcome to send me files via dropbox, my email is : firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks!
Thanks for joining in here. In my case I usually shoot weddings. Sort a take by camera model, then start toning in groups of 30-80 images depending on whether they are in similar lighting situations. If I have an outdoor ceremony and 30 family photos all on the same body, usually nikon d3s, I may tone 80 similar images at once in camera raw. But not always. Most of my adjustments are global. Pulling in highlights, shadows, color tweaking, contrast. Very few require spot or local adjustments, but when they do, I start to notice the redraw slows down and I begin to have to wait a few seconds between adjustments. This wait will get longer the more photos I have to tone. Also, after 10-15 images, even making global adjustments, such as blacks, whites, shadows, will start to make me wait up to a couple of seconds before I see the redraw and can move on to the next adjustment.
Finally, on saving the images, I notice ACR7.1 saves literally 1/2 as fast. I have timed this. IF I make NO adjustments and save 30 raw .NEF files with ACR7.1 it will take 2x longer than ACR 6.7.
Finally, on everything I said above, none of this happens in ACR 6.7 No lag in redraw, no pause between operations and faster save. I am on 2010 MacPro, 32GB RAM SSD drives dual 6 core 2.66GHZ processors and ATI Radeon 5870 graphics card with 1gb dedicated graphics ram. I do think the quality of ACR7.1 is better. BUT camera sensor resolutions are growing, and ACR is slowing. I have 2 d800's (36Mp sensor) that I can not use for weddings unless I want to outsource my processing because it takes days. I would be perfectly happy if your next iteration of ACR had NO improvements in quality whatesoever. It is already pretty good, but if you can double the speed it works out, you would save me hundreds of $ in computer time per job!
Thank you for the detailed response. I will talk to Eric and we will investigate. -adriana
Hi Adriana
I'm Expericing the same problems, CR7 is extremly slow and lags on my iMac Quad i7 with 16GB RAM and with a SSD. Just changing the temperature of a CR2 or Tiff makes Bridge lag with about 4-5 seconds.
This must be a software related issue, because if I choose to revert from the 2012 Raw Engine profile to 2010 Raw Engine Profile, everything suddenly runs smoothly within the Camera Raw Editing tools.
I seriously hope Adobe has this on top priority and will focus on fixing this ASAP, since CR7 is basicily useless with it's current horrible slow speed....
Just as a follow up. Do you see slowdowns when working with a single image? You said it is more prominent when using local adjustments and also while saving, correct? If you can send me exactly the controls you are using it would be very helpful. For example, when using adjusment brush, do you feel it is slower when using the exposure slider, or the noise reduction slider? What controls and values used cause this to slowdown? Do you have masks on or off? Any detailed information will help us reproduce and narrow down the issues reported. If you could share an image with the adjusments and the xmp file will be very helpful. Thank you!!
Hi Adriana,
It's difficult to work out what's happening but here are some observations. Loading 1 image is OK. If I load a wedding of say 300 images into Camera Raw 4 they all load and I can perform any number of adjustments and move between all images instantaneously all the way through. If I load the same into CR7 there is a 1-2 second delay when moving between images. Adjustments are relatively OK but not as quick as CR4. After a number of images have been corrected(this number varies) any one of the controls gets sticky with between 2-3 seconds to respond. One observation is that I can adjust all controls in CR4 and 7 when the Yellow warning triangle is present however in CR7 if I try to make an adjustment literally just before the Yellow triangle disappears the controls can get sticky. Usual controls are as per attached image with no Lens Corrections.
Just so we're all on the same page...
It's important not to confuse the two.
In order to differentiate between the two, everyone here needs to be VERY specific about the speed they're seeing (as tobylong has done). Those who have said, for example, that it takes several seconds to see updates on their screens when moving controls are clearly in the second category as compared to others who are seeing nearly instantaneous display updates.
Hi Adriana,
I get slowdowns in the multiple seconds category, sometimes with as little as one image, but always with 10 or more. For example, load 10 nikon d800 raw files, start going down the line adjusting WB, shadow, highlight, blacks, etc, and by the 3rd image, I guarantee you will be having to wait a second or two before you see your adjustments redraw on the main preview image. After that, I usually use the adjustment brush for simple burning,dodging, mostly of faces, or darkening distracting areas. Then the slowdowns really increase. I almost can't use the brush because I have to wait so long for the adjustment to show up on the preview. I have automasking on almost always. But really, just fine tuning your image by nothing more than adjusting WB, Shadows, Highlights, etc and after a few images you will see slowdown. My system specs are above. I agree that the quality is better, but currently I use cs5.1 for all my work except for a couple images that I really wanted but over exposed, then I crank up cs6 and have been able to save them, otherwise I don't use my expensive new software at all because it takes forever! I haven't returned it yet because I hope you will fix it, and also, one image it saved for me was worth the cost of the update, so on that I guess we're even.
The same for myself. As little as 3 images can be problematic. Still using CS3 on the whole.
Update. Adobe has kindly provided a backward license for photoshop cs5.1 in the interim and I am now using this. It is much quicker when using camera RAW than cs6 and positively skips along, also I do not have the same problem of having to convert to .dng format before I can process images in camera raw and cs3.
Latest update cs6 13.01 did not have any effect on the Camera Raw problem. Back to cs5.1
Just to be clear, Toby, would you say Camera Raw from Photoshop CS5.1 is twice as fast, or more than that?
There is no delay using the correction sliders in Photoshop CS5.1 camera raw. There's a 1-3 seconds delay(sometime more) using CS6 camera raw.
I have nothing to add, except, like I mentioned in another post, confirming that CR7 is extremely slow. So, it's not an isolated problem. Adobe has to react quickly and provide an update to boost performance.
Since we're hearing essentially nothing more from Adobe on this problem, one could be forgiven for assuming they're trying to ignore it, passing it off as performance issues being reported by people with old/slow computers.
I sense that it is more than that - that there's a 10x performance difference being observed in some cases between similarly powered systems, and THAT is why I'm encouraging people to post more specific information instead of just saying it's "slow".
You'd be wise to be VERY specific, even using a stopwatch as needed, and post your timings. It's ESPECIALLY helpful to post the specific differences between the versions of Camera Raw, if you have more than one installed.
I've tested a number of different versions of Camera Raw myself, and yes, it IS slowing down as they add more features, but something like 2x or 3x in recent versions - NOT anywhere near as much as what's being seen by some folks!
I process up to 600 images from a shoot. Even a 2-3x slowdown is HUGE for me, like hours!
I'll try to get a stopwatch out and do some measurements soon, once the summer wedding furor dies down. PS, I moved to lightroom 4.1 or whatever is newest. I find it LESS slower than ACR by about 2-3x in terms of redrawing the image, and how long you have to wait for your adjustments to show on your preview, but it takes about 3x longer to save an image. The good thing about the way lightroom workflow is organized, is that I can tone a whole take before I have to save anything. Currently I export (save the raws to JPG or DNG as required) at night, then go to bed. It's done in the morning....All in all, I save about 2 hours per shoot using lightroom, but I would rather ACR focused on improving speed in its next iteration, because all the cameras coming out now are 24 megapixles plus, and trust me, those big files go A LOT slower. My next post will have a concrete comparison between ACR 6, ACR 7 and lightroom, but it might be a month or so.
I'm looking forward to seeing that info, tahoelight, and I hope it furthers the cause, but I suspect Adobe feels that their latest software can expect to be run on ever more powerful computers, and as a result they're free to do more in pursuit of better looking results.
I can offer some recommendations for improving your computer performance if you're interested.
I've just plunked down quite a few thousands myself this year to increase my own PC workstation performance radically.

The cinema first opened its doors on 15 April 1911 as the Electric Palace, with capacity for 480 patrons (280 seated and a further 200 standing!). The floor plan of the cinema was not dissimilar to that of today, except the foyer stretched down the side of the building. It later became The Embassy, and in 1931 was one of the first British cinemas to convert fully to sound. During the Second World War, the ornate exterior was severely damaged and subsequently replaced with a plain façade and a flat roof.
Since the 1950s the venue has steadily built a reputation as the place to see avant-garde and experimental cinema alongside repertory art-house programmes. With new ownership in 1974 came the change of name to The Gate. In 2003 the cinema joined the Picturehouse family and in 2004 it received a full refurbishment. The lobby retains its Cinema 100 plaque in recognition of its status as "one of London's favourite independent cinemas".
