Has anyone had problems importing RAW and JPEG images. Message pops up that 'Files could not be read'. Using Nikon D7000 and P 5000. Had no problems until the upgrade. I do not know if I am doing something wrong.
Adobe launches ACR v7.1 and Lightroom v4.1 with X-Pro1 support
Adobe has launched final versions of Photoshop Lightroom v4.1 and Adobe Camera Raw v7.1 that include support for the Fujifilm X-Pro1. Both versions include the advanced defringing tools introduced in the Release Candidate versions they replace as well as promising to address 'performance issues.' Both versions include support for the Fujifilm X-Pro1 non-Bayer color filter array. They can be downloaded from the Adobe website now. Adobe Camera Raw 7.1 works with Photoshop CS6.

I've just been checking it out and developing some of my Raw's, and comparing them alongside the identical JPG's. It's no better, possibly worse, than the in camera jpgs.
But the jpgs from the Fuji X-Pro1 seem to have a lot more latitude than the jpgs my Nikon D3S produces and can be pushed by one or two stops without noticeable loss.
The new LR 4.1 has an improved Chromatic Aberration control which works well with the 18mm Fujinon lens.
I'll do more tinkering to test out other types of shots, but at this point I see no compelling reason to shoot raw. I really like the Fuji Xpro and it's left my Nikon kit gathering dust in the corner
here's the DPReview X-Pro1 test image processed with dcraw. It has a whole lot of issues of its own, but you can see that the X-Pro1 sensor is capable of pretty excellent detail and color.
I think it's only matter of time before someone manages to get the processing right...
Too bad that DCRAW doesn't install on a Windows 7 64 bit system.
It aint like 64 bit systems are real new.
I got it here (link below, found on some other forums):
it runs on Win7-64 as a command line utility. Use at your own risk, though - I checked it for viruses but there are no guarantees obviously
Xpro1 RAWs are terrible through ACR/LR. The cameras Jpegs are better more fine detail, more natural color. The only thing better in LR is NR control iin the dark shadows over the in camera jpegs (but not in raw) and highlight recovery - which is exceptional for APSC. The camera really doesnt need a lot of NR to begin with.
It's a great camera, and I love it, but I am not sure I can live without LR. The sensor is awesome clearly, but the workflow is atrocious if silkypix is the only option.
Why bother with jpgs if you're starting with raws? Work in tiff, and then convert the final result to jpg for emailing and the like.
Except for the micros-screen pattern, which one can get rid of with luminance reduction, Fuji raw to dng, via Adobe DNG Converter 7.1, and then into tiff via ACR 6.7, or even earlier, provides good results. Certainly much better results than Silkypix 5.
it still does not work well with the fuji X10
When converted with Adobe DNG Converter 7.1, Fuji X-Pro1 raws, have a fine screen pattern in the imagines, unless luminance noise reduction is used. Very odd.
But still better colour than direct extraction with Silkypix 5.
Now I just need some more X-Pro1 raw files to test.
I also get a screen pattern using the DNG converter 7.1, I was able to minimize the effect by turning sharpening to zero and luminance nr up a notch but can't get rid of it completely, much prefer silky pix conversion. huge disappointment.
mike kobal:
My problem with Silkypix 5 is the terrible colour control and bad noise reduction for higher ISO pictures. (All of which ACR can handle when opening these "Fuji" DNGs converted with ADC.)
As a test I used Adobe DNG Converter 7.1 to open some Samsung NX100 raws; there was no micro screen pattern anywhere to be seen.
The disappointment of Adobe DNG Converter 7.1 sure doesn't inspire me to spend the money "upgrading" Photoshop CS5 to Photoshop CS 6, so I can open these Fuji raws in ACR 7.1.
I wish Adobe had spent more time and done a better job with the files from this unique sensor.
Perhaps Bibble/Corel will do good raw extraction software for these X-Pro1 raw files. And then I'll simply get that capacity when I get a free update to AftershotPro, which I already own. (Not holding my breath for DXO.)
the micro screen pattern is unique on Fuji xpro1 files, no problems with other dng conversions, agree, color and noise control on silky pix isn't any good
mike kobal:
Have you tried opening these Fuji XPro raws with ACR 7.1 in either Lightroom 4 or Photoshop CS6? I'd be interested to know if the micro-screen pattern is there when ACR 7.1 extracts these Fuji X-Pro1 raws directly? And I don't feel like paying the $200 to upgrade to Photoshop CS6, unless I need it for some reason.
Unfortunately, I'm familiar with Silkypix from my Panasonic LX5 and my Samsung NX100, so I know how get the most out of it and that most isn't much--unlike ACR or Bibble5.
(Yes, I tried the trialware of Silkypix5 with Fuji X-Pro1 raws and in any challenging situation just saw a lot of smearing, weird coloring and artifacts.)
especially the color control of Silkypix Pro 5 and it's finest detail protecting noise reduction capabilities, were the reasons, why I choose Silkypix instead of ACR in LR or CS...
...Howabout a RAW converter test like here:
Maybe one can learn something additional?
That's not a review of Silkypix, those are comments, and many concern jpegs, which immediately calls into question the seriousness. Then there's the ISO 200 problem.
Have you actually used ACR with any frequency?
I can say I have used Silkypix and it is nowhere near ACR or Bibble for color or noise.
I've also used UFRAW and that's nowhere near as good as ACR, despite what some claim in these comments, but that's at least free raw extraction software and seems mostly better than Silkypix.
No, I have not tried every raw file type with Silkypix, but the Panasonic LX5, Samsung NX100 and Fuji X-Pro aint good when extracted with Silkypix. (Hint: there's a reason that the Leica branded version of the LX5 comes with a copy of Adobe Lightroom.)
The problem with your assertion is I that do see.
@mike kobal: the micro screen pattern is also seen with the fuji X10, also big disappointment
You should show Your expertise with the simple comparison test I already proposed.
I made tests with ACR fans and no one could surpass the quality which is possible within Silkypix Pro 5.
Why don't You show Your ACR capabilities with this suited and free available RAW:
in this thread:
Use ACR, I use Silkypix and we will see.
I have only seen evidence for the opposite of Your claim.
ACR is simply not as good for Fuji and Sigma cameras...
Stick with it - no problem, as long as You don't claim that it is better than something else without a open comparison.
Hopefully You don't write things like "excellent detail with ACR",
if it is so easy to proof that another converter is way better.
What is way better than excellent?
If You are open minded and don't fear to revise Your opinion, You should make the comparison test with me and see...
That's a raw file you linked not some comparison. I've already extracted XPro1 raws with both Silkypix 5 and Adobe DNG Converter 7.1. The free ADC 7.1 already beats Silkypix 5 for noise and color.
The problem with ADC 7.1 and the XPro1 raws is the micro screen pattern--this also may be a problem with ACR 7.1 but I'm not going to pay to find out for a camera I don't own.
You seem to be under the impression that I've never used Silkypix before, that's incorrect. As I clearly stated because I own the LX5 and the NX100, I'm already familiar with Silkypix and its failures. Silkypix 5 may not have the micro screen pattern problem with the Fuji XPro1 that Adobe DNG Converter 7.1 does, but that Adobe software sure does colour and noise better than Silkypix 5.
You're going to have to provide many more raw examples than 1 from a website to get me to pay attention to your claims about Silkypix. I don't look at colour and noise claims based on jpegs.
Well Usee,
I just retested Silkypix 5 with some Fuji XPro1 raws, from DPReview, and my memory is most certainly correct. It remains truly awful for color and noise, it even struggles with an ISO 500 picture--that's struggles with noise and colour both.
Adobe DNG Converter 7.1 in combination with ACR 6.7 easily bests Silkypix, despite Adobe's micro screen pattern problem.
So yes the problem remains that I do see.
Now that Silkypix and Adobe (with the micro screen pattern troubles) messed up, I'd hope that Corel/Bibble will take advantage of this opportunity and do good raw extraction software for the Fuji XPro1. Same applies to CaptureOne.
Surely it IS a RAW file, a RAW file You could develop with ACR and I would develop with Silkypix Pro 5...
...then we have the comparison between Your ACR output and my Silkypix Pro 5 output.
In addition we can use the ISO 6400 sample with the same procedure...
...to get even a answer to the noise question.
Where is the problem?
Download the RAWs, show Your outcome and I show mine and we are fine.
If you want to send me a check for 200usd then fine, I'll use ACR 7.1. Until then the fact remains that at ISO 6400: Fuji XPro1 RAW to dng via Adobe DNG Converter 7.1 then to tiff via ACR 6.7 easily beats extraction directly with Silkypix 5. (This is despite the micro screen pattern Adobe issue.) The fact that Silkypix is terrible raw extraction software is not new with this new Fuji--Silkypix has been doing a horrible job for years. So the onus is not on me to prove anything.
Get a Samsung NX100 raw shot at ISO 2500 and see for yourself, if you have ACR 6.5. Or a Nikon D3s RAW at ISO 10000. Or pick low ISO examples, Silkypix 5 has trouble with ISO 500 XPro1 raws.
@HowaboutRaw I am still on 5.5 not sure if I will upgrade
@Hugo Gold aye, sucks, I wasn't aware of that, I don't own the camera
Fuji XPRO1 Raw Processing by Lightroom
why RAW processed by Camera are better than Raw processed by Lightroom 4.1 ?
excuse my english on the images
why bring those up, unless you don't care about image quality?
does seem a bit snappier than 4.1 rc2. i think it is ready for a production environment just well done adobe lightroom team for the hard work keep it up!
Its a pity that it renders some red tones in the fuji RAF files radically off the mark and most cases nto even remotely the same color as the jpg files. Some of the reds Ive seen coming end up actually being black or grey..
730MB for the 4.1 update? I know 500MB of fluff when I see it.
I have LR3x and I'll install LR4 this week – great app! Still, for initial corrections I much prefer DxO 7.5 to ACR. It just works albeit the current limitation of supported file types.
have problem here i was use the lightroom 4.1 with camera RAW 7.1 open the xpro1 raw image no adjustment ,view on 100% the detail area was seems look like tune on the NR ..look like oil painting effect...but no problem on camera JPG & Silkypix !
after reading through following two articles it looks like I'm going to postpone my purchase of X-Pro1, it's really shame that ACR isn't quite there yet:
ACR support is the only thing which holds me from buying X-Pro1.
So, PSE10 users are left in the cold??? I mean, that one isn´t that old yet, and there´s no upgrade spotted on the horizon that I can see. Not that I´d like to upgrade only to get ACR7.1 for X-Pro1 support, but that aside. :(
Oh well, might decide as well that I´ve had it with Adobe, here´s hoping for Aperture not to wait too long (and also doing a bit better, please).
I'm sure Adobe will offer PSE11 with ACR7.1, soon. Looks like they don't even have to add any features besides the upgraded ACR Raw support :-(
I don't like these extremely short ACR update cycles. But it seems like Adobe can't sell their expensive PhotoShop any more and the lost revenue has to come from somewhere...
But maybe you can convert the Raw files to DNG and use them in PSE10 that way?
PSE 10 users can use DNG converter for FREE.
DNG is free to anybody, that´s not the point. It´s not RAW, that´s all, besides locking you in to their tool again... :(
DNG is RAW converted to TIFF type file.
"DNG is RAW converted to TIFF type file"
It's a TIFF "language" container, with a preview and metadata etc in a standard published format. But what is inside this container, is not a converted bitmap and this is not the same thing as a standard 'TIF file. The contents are (almost always AFAIK) untouched sensor data identical to the contents of a camera proprietary Raw. The DNG container provides enough information that this can be deciphered and interpreted, where that camera model is not supported, just as well as where it is - apart from a few peripheral differences, most notably the availability of camera colour profiles.
What happens next, is standard Raw processing (demosaicing, contrast curves and so on).
It´s just not RAW in any sense, you cannot discard them confidently, they add lest to the ballast without any benefit that I can see... ;)
If it´s some kind of TIF (I´d agree on that), I´d be better off with exactly that as it is more universally accepted. Which is exactly what I´m doing right now BTW, be it Sigma Foveon files or, indeed, Fuji´s X-Pro1, the latter hopefully only for the time being. But I cannot discard the real initial RAWs, it´s as simple as that.
However, to come back to the initial point: PSE10 users are left in the cold, there´s no RAW support in the normal sense, only by ways of a nasty workaround.
Anyone tried to edit HDR files yet?
So ... did it resolve the performance issues? Even with my top of the line iMac, there was a lag using the edit tools. Using sharpening or NR made things even slower.
No performance issues on my PC, want speed and reliability get a good PC
Can you please post the specs of your PC ? I really love Lightroom but the performance is just to slow on my (4 year old) PC.
Intel Core i7-3820 quad core (8 threads) at 4.4ghz, 16GB quad channel DDR3, two 90GB corsair sata3 Solid state drives, geforce gtx 480, evga motherboard.
faster then mac, and much cheaper.
And this is how it goes... they are making the software slower, to force us to buy the next generation of hardware...
With lightroom 4.0 I had the same performance issues when using sharpening NR and other edit tools on my 4.5 year old PC. With lightroom 4.1 all these issues have been resolved.
no one forced me to buy anything, i do video rendering, i play games, i use lightroom, sometimes i run several virtual machines on my pc, and i installed osx (never kept it for long) on my PC.
How come you dislike the image qualtiy, even the OOC when every review praises it to the skies? Do you see something others oversee, or what? I am looking into buying one and it seems hard to find critcs.
Mine installed in Spanish for some reason, anyway to get back to English without having to uninstall/reinstall? it'd be much appreciated, My pc is slow as it is...
Go to preferences and select the desired language in the general tab. No need to reinstall. The only issue left is to find the preferences menu and the general tab ...
Done using google translator lololololol we do take instructions in our native language for granted :p ty my friend
getting some really nasty color tearing with ACR 7.1 and Fuji X-Pro1. In some cases (not too often, thankfully) it makes images borderline unusable - example crop below:
Yeah, something awful odd about the way it's rendering color detail. Check the red/blue and red/green radial patterns. But it's not ACR, the OOC jpegs look similar.
Methinks the math just isn't there yet for this CFA pattern. Kinda a big oversight for a shipping product.
Would these help?
I don't know, I doubt it.
Feeling pretty bummed right now - ACR is basically broken, SilkyPix is producing ridiculous colours (and also has colour smearing issues), and in-camera raw processing doesn't offer batch processing to TIFF format and has colour halos around everything.
Hopefully someone steps up to the plate and fixes this mess soon. Because right now it is a hobbyist camera; I can't afford to shoot a job with it - too many issues.
I'm getting the same results, its especially bad with red detail, in my case, red text as well, smearing all over the place where the camera jpgs are fine.
There are no problems with red detail, if one uses Silkypix Pro 5:
Lightroom is obviously no alternative at the moment.
Funny how people blame Fuji when Adobe cannot even match OOC JPEGs. At least two RAW converters work fine, including Silkypix once you set a colour preference. The fact that Adobe cannot is Adobe's fault, though I agree it's a long way off being adequate.
I just re-read this thread and I don't see anyone blaming Fuji - although I could if I wanted to, mostly for failing to deliver a professional-grade raw converter in time.
And no, I don't believe that included limited edition of SilkyPix qualifies. For example, they just managed to fix a gray balancing tool in the last update, before it was producing psychodelic color. And none of color presets in SP produce a believable color anyway - I got around it by profiling the camera with Colorchecker SG+Profilemaker; that's about $1500 and not everyone can afford it. And lastly, color-tearing issues present in ACR output are present in SP too - just look for any instance of fine white type on bright colored background.
OOC jpeg color detail looks better than both ACR and SP (talk about irony), but this route has its own issues - for example many sharp colorful objects have faint colored halos around them, and the detail is not as sharp as what is expected from a camera w/o AA filter.
To Imagefoundry:
Just try to use Silkypix Pro 5 (at least the trial version) and look at this example without color smearing etc.:
...and way better color detail than with OOC jpg can be still seen here:
There is only the irony, that some people obviously refuse to see...
...for whatever reason.
Let me start by saying that you are probably mis-reading my posts. I am not here to bash Fuji, Adobe or makers of SilkyPix. It's frustrating that there's no reliable raw conversion tool available, this long after the camera launch.
You obviously like SilkyPix a lot, and I don't have any issues with you championing the product in the forums. However:
Can you in all fairness expect me to spend USD$342.90 on SilkyPix Developer Studio Pro5 just to get the basic raw functionality?
And, looking at the examples you linked to, I am sorry they don't look convincing at all. Specifically, look at white type in Fiddler's Elbow. Top of the "W" is pink. It's supposed to be white. This is exactly the same issue as with ACR 7.1, just less severe.
I see no point in your second example - we already know that tonal detail is pretty great on X-Pro1.
Usee seems rather fanatical about Silkypix and their results from the eX-Pro-1.
In all the examples they give, I still see sharpness/contrast/tonality issues in the red channel.
I don't doubt that software can be developed to clean things up a bit, but I suspect that we're just seeing the results of real physical properties of the xtrans pattern--it is just lower resolution in the blue and red channels than a Bayer pattern.
You see it worse with higher ISOs because all noise reduction lowers resolution. And red is always the noisiest channel.
d800 tethering? hello?
Nikon released the SDK too late to be included (so did Canon, by the way, for the 5DIII). Don't know about the future, though.
Here is the Adobe link for the supported cameras as of 5/29/2012.
Looks current to me. Did I miss one?
Finally... a camera raw for X-Pro1!
Oh wait, I have CS5 so I have to buy Photoshop CS6...
You know.. it really sucks that Adobe makes you buy the latest version of Photoshop to get ACR. I've been using Photoshop for 10 years (now using CS5) and have purchased upgrade after upgrade and they still want to gouge you. Why is ACR not a product that works with ALL versions of Photoshop? My guess is it's all about the money.
"Why is ACR not a product that works with ALL versions of Photoshop? My guess is it's all about the money."
It's all about the API and having to maintain multiple versions of the same code.
If it were all about money, they wouldn't provide a free DNG converter so you can use new camera support all the way back to the beginning of ACR. If the camera companies would just produce DNGs out-of-camera, you wouldn't even need that step.
If you're happy with CS5, the full version of Lightroom 4 is cheaper than the CS6 upgrade.
Uh, no. If you want to stay with the old, less capable software you can certainly do it. Download the latest ACR with DNG converter. Yes, you have to do DNG conversions, but you can open them in your old, inferior CS5 conversion engine. You kinda get perpetual upgrades, but Adobe doesn't give away the latest and greatest software capabilities. Lightroom's cheap if you don't want to upgrade or go with the Creative Cloud.
At the moment, I have the CS6 beta and CS5 installed. This allows me to use ACR 7.1 to open my Canon G1 X raws. If I need to process in Photoshop, I can process them and save them as PSDs . I'm not sure what will happen when the beta expires, but this is giving me a few more weeks to decide if I want to upgrade or not. It's not perfect, but it's a workaround. Before this, I was converting the RAWs into DNGs with the free converter.
Man this sucks..I already have LR3 and CS5....along with a whole host of plugins etc already installed for those programs. No way do I want to upgrade just to get Raw support for my XPro-1. Come to think of it, even if you're dishonest and used pirated SW (ie: it was free) it would still be a pain to re-install everything for RAW support....not saying to do that of course. Thanks for nothing Adobe.
Clint, the free DNG converter already mentioned is far simpler than even the illegal suggestions you had.
Clumsy update compared to other Adobe updates, imo. In the past, the application has more or less updated itself, handling the download and then the install. You did have to close open app(s), like Bridge or PS.
On this update, the choice to update took you to the applicable Adobe update page, and then a normal download happened. It then unzipped into a directory before proceeding.
And it was a HUGE file ...700+MB, which seems about as big as the original LR-4 install from the DVD.
Did a bit more checking ... both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions were downloaded and unzipped. And both setup##.exe files were left where they were unzipped rather than being cleaned up.
And then the setup##.exe "expands" to a .msi file. Seems shoddy. Sigh.
I have used LR only from 3.0 version but I think all LR updates have been full versions.
Not a big deal for me.
Nothing new, always been like this with lightroom.
I am fairly new to Lightroom, but I was really surprised at how sloppy the LR update procedure was. I've been using Adobe's entire suite of software professionally for years, and for some time the update process has been painless and easy via Adobe's AIR update application. By contrast, when I hit the "Update" button I was prompted with, I was sent to a generic Lightroom page on Adobe's site. There was no 'update' option on the entire page and in the end I manually had to select the Demo download, typed in my Adobe username and pass, and manually ran the installer. My thought was "what year is this?" Adobe should be embarrassed.
1: LR 4 update process is the same as before
2: LR 4 added book printing support, thereby bloating the bits to >700MB
3: LR does not use the Adobe updater mechanism that the suite does
Does anyone know when camera raw will be available for the Nikon D3200 for lightroom.
Nikon D3200 was supported in LR 4.1 RC so it should be in this final version too.
Here's the Adobe link:
Hope it helps.
Some people here are complaining about slowness. I had performance issues with LR4 as well. I went digging around for information and Adobe has released an article detailing all of the things you can do to optimize performance. Check it out here: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/optimize-performance-lightroom.html
I was already doing much of this, but the biggest thing that helped me was creating 1:1 previews on import. It takes a while but once they are done LR4 moves much quicker. Give it a try.
thank you for the link :)
Also read these tips and also find that it helps making 1:1 previews from the start. A fast machine will do it at almost the same speed as reduced sized previews.
it takes like 4 seconds to build up preview in the developing module. this is still too slow for working!! LR3 was a lot faster. why is that so and why is there no real improvement here?
4.1 seems to work quite a bit faster than version 4.0 on my little laptop.
Does it also include a fundamentally better RAW conversion for the Fuji X10? Because up to LR4 the detail rendering is absolutely hopeless.
As I just heard from my X-10 owning friend: No. So the camera will go back to the store.
Does anyone know yet if it fixes issues of lodaing plugins? for example NikFX? Thanks in advance
Yes, it does.
I'm using the 4.1 RC for some weeks and everything is working, it's just a bit slow...
Watch out!!! If you are a serious user of Bridge6 and rely on reasonable performance with a LARGE number of images in the cache, ACR 7.1 will cause all of the images to be re-cached when you access an image directory.
For example, I have 700,000 images and am reconstructing the Bridge Cache to comply with the new SQLite file implementation. It has taken me 10 continuous days of 24 hr/day to process only 380,000 images. The new release of ACR 7.1 will negate this completely and I have to spend another 10 days simply to reprocess the what I have already done.
In fact, I think the reprocessing will be significantly longer than the 10 days since all of the raw files must be reprocessed - effectively negating the use of the BridgeCache files recorded in each directory.
I do not understand.
Why do you need to cache 700,000 images?
Why not rebuild them only as you need to visit them?
yeah i wonder too.
if you have a decent system you should have enough speed for bridge previews.
i have "only" ~200000 images but i have no need to have them all in the cache. i don´t even notice on my system what is cached and what not.
maybe time to get a system that is better suited for your needs.
I need all images cached - I have to go back to history often for various publishing reasons.
One of the attributes of a decent DAM is that you can quickly browse all of the image assets. As it turns out, my image archive is on networked drives (1 gbps network, the drives work at an effective 275 mbps) with the cache on a sata drive for browsing speed. If ACR chooses to rebuild, everything slows down since the cached images become almost useless while ACR rebuilds
My computer is more than competent enough.
then your network is to slow i guess.
i have 90 MB/s over 1 gigabit ethernet.
there is no problem to browse with bridge over network.
275 mbps are about 34 MB/s.. that´s slow for a 1gbps network.
It certainly is slow - no doubt. However, that is the technology with my Dlink network drives - it was the fastest available at reasonable cost when purchased a few years ago. I would hate to purchase two more four-bay systems just to gain a bit of speed on the cache rebuilds.
These ACR inspired rebuilds present no tangible benefit when browsing images - in particular, since I use the default 1024 pixel preview size.
I have no issues with the speed otherwise - the cached previews are "instant" since they are on SATA. Actual image load is quite acceptable when fetching the raw data.
The ACR rebuilds and other cataloguing issues certainly perplex me since Adobe claims that Bridge is a proper DAM and it certainly is not. Lightroom is closer to be a photographers DAM but still misses the mark for things I consider important. I have even written a pre-processor to provide additional DAM features for Bridge (which might even be portable to Lightroom).
Is or will ACR 7 be available for PS- Elements 10? I cannot find it on the Adobe web site
I was wondering about that too, but in the info for the latest update, it says 6.7 is the last version for Elements 10. So the only way to avoid the CS tax is to get Lightroom it seems.
I wonder if general performance issues were adequately addressed.
X-Pro1 support, about time too
I'm doing a little dance right now! X-Pro1 support!!!
Greatly useful function! Well done Adobe!!!
PhaseOne's sofware engineers, please, WAKE UP... noise reduction, HDR and IQ issues are waiting for you
It's christmas come early!
Yeah, finally!
X-Pro 1 users, rejoice!

Dilation and Curettage (D&C) for Bleeding During Menopause
Surgery Overview
Dilation and curettage (D&C) is a surgical procedure used to locate and treat the cause of sudden, heavy bleeding. It is done by passing a small instrument called a curette through the vagina into the uterus and scraping the endometrium.
D&C is typically an outpatient procedure. A general anesthetic is usually used, though a local or spinal anesthetic may be used.
What To Expect After Surgery
The recovery period following D&C is short, and most women are able to return to normal activities within 1 to 2 days.
During the recovery period:
- Mild pelvic cramping may occur for a few hours.
- A slight vaginal discharge may occur.
- Intercourse, douching, and the use of tampons are not usually permitted for 2 weeks.
- Your next menstrual period may be early or late.
Why It Is Done
Dilation and curettage (D&C) is used to diagnose and treat bleeding problems. It is used to control sudden, heavy vaginal bleeding that is causing heavy blood loss (hypovolemia) or a low number of red blood cells (anemia). D&C is the quickest way to stop active bleeding in the uterus.
D&C is one method used to get a tissue sample for testing. For example, a postmenopausal woman who has vaginal bleeding is usually tested for signs of endometrial cancer.
How Well It Works
- D&C usually temporarily stops heavy menstrual bleeding.
- A biopsy of uterine tissue can be obtained for diagnosis and to eliminate other possible causes of heavy menstrual bleeding.
- Small fibroids may be removed.
Recurrence. Sudden, heavy bleeding may stop for a period of time. But heavy bleeding usually returns following D&C.
Complications from a D&C are rare but include:
- Infection.
- Puncture (perforation) of the uterine wall.
- Heavy vaginal bleeding (hemorrhage).
- Scarring of the lining of the uterus. This can make it hard to become pregnant. Scarring can also make it hard for the placenta to attach to the inside of the uterus.
What To Think About
Abnormal vaginal bleeding that is not caused by cancer may naturally stop after menopause.

I Andreas Fasoulides and my friend Kyriakos Antoniou had the idea to create the low technology workshop Re-newcy.
The dramatic negative climate changes on our planet and the our personal concerning about the future of our children are the motives of creating the Re-newcy workshop in Cyprus.
Working with the renewable energy sources like the Sun, Wind, Biogass, etc we offer popular technology for everyone who likes to reduce the Co2 emissions in the natural environment.
We offer Solar Cookers in cost prices so to reach all the people who want to use the heat from the Sun for cooking their meals .

Photograph by Randy Olson
Lynn Johnson was a shy girl who spent a lot of high school poring over books in the library. One day, she happened upon a book of photographs by Dorothea Lange and other documentary photographers who had worked for the Farm Security Administration. It changed her life.
"I immediately fell in love with the power of those pictures," Johnson recalls. "In my short and rather sheltered life, I had never seen migrant workers or sharecroppers, and certainly had not experienced loss or pain like that, but I could feel it in those photographs. I had an emotional reaction to them I'd never felt. It made me want to pick up a camera."
She began by making photographs for her high school yearbook, an experience that allowed her to discover her innate talent and something more:
"When you're shy, a camera becomes an entry into life," she says. "It was a kind of shield I could hide my shyness behind, and it allowed me to become an active observer rather than a passive one."
Since then, this shy girl has climbed the radio antenna atop Chicago's John Hancock Tower, clambered around scaffoldings with steel workers, and lived among fishermen on Long Island and guerrillas in Vietnam. She has done in-depth portraits of celebrities including Stevie Wonder, Michael Douglas, Mr. Rogers, and the entire U.S. Supreme Court. But Lynn Johnson's passion remains—just as it was kindled that day in her high school library—documenting the lives of regular people.
Her gripping photo essays of a family struggling with AIDS, of children coping with the brain death of their mother, and many others are honest and sensitive glimpses into the lives of ordinary people dealing with extraordinary circumstances, and are classics of the genre.
Telling those stories, and getting them in print, has not been easy. After graduating from the Rochester Institute of Technology, Johnson was hired as the first woman staff photographer at the Pittsburgh Press.
"Oh good," one of the older photographers at the paper told her when she arrived. "Now we have someone who can cover tea parties."
"Those guys were great, and great teachers, but they were also rather stuck in their time. Because I'm a woman, and because I'm small (she's 5'1"), it never occurred to them that I could do more than cover social events. I needed to prove it to them. When photo assignments would come in, I didn't wait for one to be handed to me. I'd just grab the one I wanted—without telling anyone—and go off and do it."
She stayed at the newspaper for seven years, and during that time she convinced the editors of the Sunday newspaper to let her do photo essays.
"I was getting frustrated with the quick in and out of spot news." Johnson says. "I felt that a lot of the stories needed more space, just out of a sense of fairness to the subjects."
When she left the Pittsburgh Press, she was invited to participate in a project to document fishermen on Long Island called "Men's Lives."
"It was a true documentary project. Adelaide DeMeril, the woman who supported it, said, 'Go and take pictures, go honor these people's lives.' The other photographers and I never had to justify a single frame or a single dime. I worked on the project off and on for a year, and it really prepared me for the kind of work I've been doing ever since.
"The emphasis in doing any in-depth photography is on building relationships, quality relationships. It's what I call thirty-cups-of-coffee-a-frame photography. You need to enter into the community—not just photographically, but intellectually and emotionally. And I began to understand the idea of education through photography and the importance of photographs over time.
"Photographs help people look at things they may not be able or may not want to look at," says Johnson. "Until you can look at something, you can't change it. First you have to look at it, then you have a chance to understand it and can change it.
"For me, photography has been a mission. I don't mean on the grand scale, but in the sense of the daily awareness that each one of us is responsible for the wider community, that your sense of self and sense of responsibility outside yourself is as wide as you can embrace. It's a commitment to try to fulfill that responsibility by doing work about things that matter."
Johnson's commitment and her sensitivity are evident in her photographs. Few other people are able to enter into the lives of others with such emotional and photographic intimacy, and Johnson attributes her ability to do so to a simple priority.
"The people—the relationships and the experiences—are more important than the photographs," she says. "As journalists, our responsibility is not to manipulate people, but to honor them and their stories," she says.
"The only time I literally shake with fear," she says, "is not when the situation is physically dangerous, but when it is emotionally charged. I try to be careful not to impact the emotional terrain, to be aware of and sensitive to how much pain someone is in, and always aware how much of a gift being in their presence is."
She prepares for her assignments by reading a lot and listening to people talk about the subject. "I like hearing people's voices," she says. "Research is an internal process of becoming aware of and comfortable with the material, an incremental education that fills you with the subject."

Get ready to re-live the horror when FRIDAY THE 13TH arrives on Blu-ray and DVD on June 16th from Warner Home Video in the extended Killer Cut with even more suspense, wild times, and more of the infamous killer Jason Voorhees. From the producers of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, comes a chilling reimagining of the classic horror film.
Searching for his missing sister, Clay Miller heads to the eerie woods of legendary Crystal Lake, where he stumbles on the creaky remains of rotting old cabins behind moss-covered trees. And that"s not all. Against the advice from locals, Clay pursues what few leads he has with the help of Jenna and a group of college kids who are up for a getaway weekend. But little do they know, they"ve entered the domain of one of the most terrifying specters in American film history--the infamous killer who haunts Crystal Lake, armed with a razor-sharp machete...Jason Voorhees.
From director Marcus Nispel, FRIDAY THE 13TH stars Jared Padalecki, Danielle Panabaker, Amanda Righetti, Willa Ford and Derek Mears as Jason.
On June 16th, FRIDAY THE 13TH will also be available ON DEMAND through Digital Cable, Satellite TV, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game consoles and it can be downloaded for rental or purchase on iTunes and Amazon Video On Demand. The Killer Cut will be available exclusively for purchase on iTunes, PlayStation 3 game consoles and Amazon.
Welcome back to Crystal Lake in a chilling re-imagining of the classic horror film "Friday the 13th." Searching for his missing sister, Clay Miller (Jared Padalecki) heads up to the eerie woods of legendary Crystal Lake, where he stumbles on the creaky remains of rotting old cabins behind moss-covered trees. And that"s not the only thing lying in wait under the brush. Against the advice of police and cautions from the locals, Clay pursues what few leads he has in the search for his missing sister, Whitney (Amanda Righetti), with the help of Jenna (Danielle Panabaker), a young woman he meets among a group of college kids up for an all-thrills weekend. But they are all about to find much more than they bargained for. Little do they know, they"ve entered the domain of one of the most terrifying specters in American film history--the infamous killer who haunts Crystal Lake, armed with a razor-sharp machete...Jason Voorhees.
There"s no escaping the iconic elements of "80s nostalgia forever tied to FRIDAY THE 13TH and its many sequels. From Jason Voorhees and his hockey mask to the tingle of fear that shoots through an audience when Harry Manfredini"s score whispers, "ki ki ki, ma ma ma," the series remains one of the most popular horror franchises of all time. Now, with Platinum Dunes re-imagining the original film for an audience almost 30 years later, how does Jason come to life in a digital world? The answer lies with Asylum Visual Effects, whose work on the project pushes the notion that, when it comes to VFX, less can be a whole lot more.
From the earliest stages of the films" conception, director Marcus Nispel issued the edict that all effects needed to be, whenever possible, done practically, aiming for what he refers to as a "snuff charm" in the style of the original TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE director Tobe Hooper. This meant a lot of on-set prosthetics and quite a bit of blood and gore on the part of the makeup department.
"I have two kids," says producer Brad Fuller in full agreement. "And they know when there"s CGI on the screen... In a slasher movie, what we have to do to really scare the audience has to feel very real."

Directed, written by and starring Academy Award winner Mel Brooks (THE PRODUCERS), as well as John Candy (UNCLE BUCK), Rick Moranis (HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS), Bill Pullman (INDEPENDENCE DAY), Daphne Zuniga (ONE TREE HILL) and Joan Rivers (SHREK 2), the original sci-fi-fueled satire, SPACEBALLS, lampoons everything from STAR WARS and ALIEN to STAR TREK and PLANET OF THE APES. The film follows fearless -- and clueless -- space heroes Lone Starr (Pullman) and his man-dog hybrid, sidekick Barf (Candy) as they wage interstellar warfare to free Princess Vespa (Zuniga) from the evil clutches of Dark Helmet (Moranis).
SPACEBALLS: THE TOTALLY-WARPED ADVENTURES includes a collection of all-new satiric adventures directed by Brooks.

Returning to voice the series are the immortally brilliant Brooks, Zuniga and Rivers along with Dee Bradley Baker (AMERICAN DAD!).

SPACEBALLS: THE TOTALLY-WARPED ADVENTURES:The animated version of the wildly successful comedic film hilariously spoofs popular movies and television shows as only the warped mind of Mel Brooks can do. Taking place in the futuristic world of Planet Spaceball, and with returning characters from the original film, including President Skroob and Yogurt (voiced by Brooks), the show satirizes popular titles including THE LORD OF THE RINGS, SPIDER MAN, THE TERMINATOR, THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN and "American Idol" with light-hearted parody and slapstick comedy.

- Title
- The handheld classroom: educational implications of mobile computing
- Author(s)
- Finn, Mark; Vandenham, Natalie
- Abstract
- Advances in handheld computing technology have meant that Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) are no longer simply electronic replacements for paper diaries, with current models capable of performing a wide range of functions. Such increased functionality has seen the rapid adoption of handhelds in the corporate sector, but it is perhaps in education that this technology may have the greatest impact. Our paper explored the use of handheld computers in a variety of educational contexts. The first part of the paper provides an overview of some of the recent research that has been done in this area, and identifies several key projects. The second section looks at the educational issues raised by these projects, and argues that, as with any educational technology, careful consideration must be given to student needs before any hardware or software can be introduced. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of potential future uses of handhelds in the classroom, focusing particularly on the possibilities created by new wireless standards.

Hey Folks! I haven't been over here in a while. While I was here I was kinda bashful. When I went over to AZ I managed to lose my shyness. I guess I went a bit overboard in fact. This afternoon I was banned from AZ for three months. I started a thread called, "$200 for a billiard university degree!!!" I called out some prominent instructors and I called Dr. Dave a shyster and a fraud. As I said, I somehow lost my shyness when I went to AZ.
I'm totally locked out over there! I had the "remember me" thing on at log in. If I hadn't, I guess I would still be able to access the site without logging in. Silly me!
So I hope you don't mind if I hang out here for a while!
