A photoshop action to access external doc and create this???

Photoshop action
If i have a graphic created, say for example, a square, I would like to create a script that
would read an external document that contains information like the following:
"123 Vernon Street"
"345 Exile Court
"3456 Yogurt Lane"
"44344 Respite Ave"
"21267 Gugenhiem Road"
and then takes that information and puts in onto the graphic in a formatted way (positioned
onto the graphic centered, for example).
The external document may have between 25 - 100 different addresses. The graphic will only
be able to hold a certain amount of addresses (x), so after the graphic is filled with that
number(x), another graphic would need to be created for the remaining addresses, and so on.
How does one accomplish this?

Well, that’s certainly beyond Actions’ scope but can be done with JavaScript – do You have any experience with JavaScript?
Apart from that it may, if the text is not to be edited in a Photoshop-specific way and pdf-output is OK, be easier to make a multipage document in Indesign for something like this.

  • Recording Actions what the user do and save this as .mpg

    Hi,
    Is there a possibility to record the actions on the screen and save this to an .mpg or .avi file?
    I think about an application which can record for example games so that the user can watch this game lalter again.
    Can i make this with JMF and if it is so, how can i make this?
    thx

    you're right... not only is it not necessary fast, but it'll consume major memory. If you want to provide playback, then I would suggest recording the state of the application in time slices (you could even record the mouse position and draw a mouse pointer later). During playback, you just iterate through the states and render what the game looked like at that time slice.

    I didn't read your code. But if you want to copy a file, commons has a neat tool for it:
    import org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils;
    import java.io.*;
    class CommonsFileCopy {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            String fIn = "CommonsFileCopy.java";
            String fOut = "(copy) CommonsFileCopy.java";
            try {
                InputStream inStream = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(fIn));
                OutputStream outStream = new FileOutputStream(new File(fOut));
                IOUtils.copy(inStream, outStream);
                System.out.println("Copied \""+fIn+"\" to \""+fOut+"\" successful");
            catch(IOException ioe) { ioe.printStackTrace(); }

  • TM by-passes external drive and creates its own (?!)

    Hi everyone,
    This is strange: TM can correctly identify my external HD as a candidate, I choose it, and it correctly turns into the blue "Time machine disk" icon. All is good so far. But when I start the backup, TM spends some time "Making backup disk available" and it ends up creating a new volume that says "Time Machine Backups". The problem is that, instead of merging with old backups (yeah, it was working before, I don't know what happened) it tries to copy a new backup to the new drive.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    This is new: I finally solved the problem by deleting MacBookPro.sparsebundle.dmg (or something like that, don't remember the name) from the HD.
    Yes, those are the backups it made over the network.
    But I would really like to be able to use mac#2 as a server. I don't have a time capsule, so I was trying to achieve wireless backup via the powerbook. I read that if the second machine is a mac and the drive is formatted properly, I am supposed to be able to do that (?).
    Yes, you can do that. But you can't continue to use the same set of backups when you switch from directly-connected to network. Time Machine will start a new set, in a sparse bundle.
    Are you also going to back-up Mac #2 to this drive? If so, it must be big enough to hold the backups for both Macs; usually 2-3 times the total of the data it's backing-up. And you should partition the drive, so TM on Mac #2 has it's own, exclusive space (see #1, 4 and 5 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum).
    Don't try to delete the existing backups in the Backups.backupdb folder; either erase them with Disk Utility, or if you reformat and partition the drive, that will erase them automatically.

  • Pages document will not open, it says I need a newer version of Pages.  I have already installed and created this document in the new version of Pages

    I just created a document in Pages.  Now when I try to open my document in Pages I am given a message that I need a newer version of Pages to open it.  When I go to the Appstore it shows that I have already downloaded the latest version.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • How to see filename of loaded Photoshop action?

    Is there a way to view the filename of loaded actions?
    I am trying to find the .atn file on my computer of a Photoshop action that I loaded ages ago and frequently use.  The action was a free download and creates a new document displaying a before and after view of the image I am working on.  I have hundreds of .atn files on my machine and have been unable to identify the one I am using by just scrolling through all the available .atn files in my presets folders.  I also did a search on the computer itself in case the .atn file was loaded from some other folder, but for the life of me I can't find it.
    It would be convenient if there were some way to display the properties of a loaded action that would include the path to the action file.

    Actions are usually stored in one of 2 places. First is within the PS program directory under Presets\Actions (installed drive letter:\Adobe\Photoshop CS5\Presets\Actions) or under you user name and basically the same path but on Win 7 it is a little different (C:\User\username\(Local or Roaming)\AppData\Adobe\Photoshop CS5\Presets\Actions)(I think that is the path. I'm on  XP box right now). So look in both those locations.
    With Win 7 it REALLY likes to hide stuff from users, even users that have FULL Admin rights. If you haven't made changes to the folder view settings, like Show hidden and system file and unchecked "Hide Protected operating system files" it just may be that Win 7 is protecting those .atn file from view.
    More then likely you saved that action set to the default Save location which is in the user profile. So I would start my search there.
    In any event you can start to load action sets until you fined the one that has those that are listed in your screen shot. PS might even be smart enough to come up with a warning when you try to load the same action twice. But I wouldn't count on it. I just tried loading the same action twice and PS CS4 had no problem making a duplicate action set in the actions pallet.

  • Photoshop Actions folder

    Hi, I have CS2 version and there was a "photoshop actions"folder. I am trying the trial CS5 extended with intent to purchase. I only see an "actions" folder. Can I just copy the PS actions folder from CS2 and add to CS5 as a separate folder?
    Thanks for your response

    If your copying existing photoshop actions from cs2 to cs5 and it's already loaded into your actions pallette, the easiest thing to do is save them to a folder on your desktop.
    To do that open CS2 and click the little arrow icon with three lines in your actions pallette, then go to Save Actions...
    Save them to your desktop in a folder
    Then open CS5 and follow the diagram below and go to Load Actions...and load the files you saved.
    Once you have the action files, it's pretty easy to transfer from one version of Photoshop to another using the steps above. Good luck!

  • Customised Oracle application and access to roles and users...please advise

    Hi Gurus!
    We are developing a customised Oracle application where we have users and roles...user - role mapping is done in the system administration module of the application.
    Now, we are also developing Oracle discoverer reports based on this. Using 10g (10.1.2.0.2) for that.
    When I am creating an EUL, I select 'New EUL for Oracle Applications users only' option, but, I do not have any 'FND schema' to specify. That's where I'm stuck up!
    I want to give access to the 'roles' in tha same manner as I would give to the 'responsibilities' in Oracle Apps. But, I don't know how to do it here.
    Can someone guide me on this?
    Thanks and regards,
    Aparna

    Hi Aparna
    It would appear that you posted the same question on the Discoverer forum. Here is the answer that I posted there:
    If your application is not E-Business Suite you cannot install Discoverer into Apps mode. This mode is reserved for applications which are E-Business Suite, which basically tells Discoverer to use authenticate users using the FND tables owned by the APPLSYS user.
    In your case, even though you appear to be using Oracle applications, because you want to take advantage of your roles you will have to install Discoverer into standard mode. As you are creating your EUL you need to uncheck the box which says grant access to PUBLIC and make this a private EUL. Then you will not have the headache of worrying about setting up new users. You simply manage what a role can do (Tools | Privileges) and what a role has access to (Tools | Security).
    Now, when any any user connects to Discoverer their role will be evaluated and access will be restricted.
    You can do the same thing using a PUBLIC EUL, except you need to reduce what that user can do (Tools | Privileges) to an absolute minimum, and then take control of this using roles. For example, you could have a set of functional roles, one each for say AP, AR, GL and so on, but you could further break this down by privilege, thus you could have roles called AP Viewer, AP User, AR Viewer, AR User and so on. The User roles would have full access while the Viewer roles would have a much reduced set of privileges.
    You are basically setting up the Library approach that I discuss in my Discoverer 10g Handbook and in my white paper which you will find on my downloads page here: http://learndiscoverer.com/downloads/downloads.htm.
    I hope this helps
    Best wishes

  • If i download and use firefox for a presentation, create this in windows7 will this open ok on a mac

    I need to create a presentation that will be viewed on an Apple Mac, I am a windows7 user. If I were to download firefox and create this presentation on my PC will it open OK on my recipients Mac

    Your question may or may not have to do with Firefox. If you create your presentation using Web standards like HTML then you should have no problem opening/displaying it on any computer regardless of the operating system. If you are using software like PowerPoint, your recipient's Mac will need to have suitable software for viewing a PowerPoint presentation. (Note that you can get PowerPoint for Mac.) In this latter situation I would suggest that you may have more success saving your presentation as a PDF as this format is more portable across operating systems.

  • Can I use photoshop text styles and photoshop actions with creative cloud photography?

    I'm really confused by this subscription pricing. If I purchase the $9.99/month, do I get the full desktop app of Photoshop and Lightroom? But I see on this page Products they list something called Photoshop CC that costs twice as much. How is that different from the Creative Cloud Photography?
    My main question is whether I can use photoshop text styles and photoshop actions with Creative Cloud Photography, since I just purchased a bundle that includes these and I want to be able to use them. But I'd also like to understand what comes with all of the various products and how they are different.
    My other question is how is Lightroom different from Photoshop? I have a sense of what you can do in Photoshop but I don't know much about Lightroom at all.
    One more question: the free trial -- is it limited in any way besides the time length? If I do that, will I get a clear idea of all that I will be able to do once I subscribe, or are the functions limited in the trial?
    I tried to just send an email to Adobe to ask these questions but apparently they are not interested in responding to emails from people who are not yet paying customers, so I was directed here. Thanks very much for your help!

    I always like to trot this bit about Bridge once in a while or in the voice of the "Two Bobs" from Office Space,
    "Can you tell us exactly what it is you do around here?"
    What Adobe Bridge does:
    Bridge is the coordinating hub of the Creative Suite. Synchronizing color management settings for all suite programs is done from Bridge, and can only be done from Bridge, to take one important use.
    Bridge displays actual thumbnails of many more file types than Finder or Explorer. It also allows instant play of sound or video files more readily than the native OS file managers.
    Bridge allows direct access to file metadata, to embed copyright information  and keywords where appropriate (e.g., for corporate logo vector and raster files). It also displays the fonts used in an InDesign file, the swatches in an INDD or AI and the output plates (including spot color plates) they use.
    When managing the assets for a design project, Bridge allows quick and simple sorting, rating and custom labeling (with color flash indications) of assets. I can rate images according to whether they are rejects, possibles, for review by client, or approved. The filters built into Bridge allow instant isolation of only the approved images or designs in a folder, only the rejects (for deletion) or only files with certain ratings, no matter how many files it contains. It recognizes aspect ratios, so if I only need a landscape or a 16:9 image in a folder of hundreds of images, I turn off the aspect ratios I don't need.
    Once filtered, the remaining visible files can be selected and copied, moved, or deleted without affecting the rest of the contents of a folder.
    Collections are a massively useful feature. One of my clients is a performing arts center, and in a season we turn out dozens of ads, flyers, brochures, web banners, playbills, billboards and other collateral using the same assets over and over. These assets are organized by artist and/or show on disk, but I set up each season's repeating assets as a Collection in Bridge, so that I just have to open the collection and drag and drop these assets into new INDD, AI, PSD, HTML (in Dreamweaver), FLA or AE projects without having to navigate from folder to folder picking up individual files.
    Bridge's Favorites is another place I stack frequently-accessed folders, such as stock photography, backgrounds, and top-level folders for active projects.
    Assets can be divided into subfolders, but a quick toggle of "Show items from subfolders" exposes all of the assets in a single view while maintaining their organization. I will typically keep AIs, PSDs, EPSs, stock photography and client images in separate subfolders within a project. When I'm ready to start pulling assets into an InDesign layout, I toggle this on and simply drag what I need into the layout.
    Bridge comes with Adobe Camera Raw built in, which is many times faster than using Photoshop to adjust jpegs or tiffs for things like tonal range, white balance, cropping, spotting and sharpening, and is non-destructive.
    One tremendously useful Bridge function for InDesign CS5+ users is the "Show linked files" feature, which opens all the linked files in a layout into a single view, regardless of where they are physically located. I often use this when doing alternative layouts from a client-approved mockup for a campaign, to be certain the same assets are used in each piece, or when creating a motion graphic or interactive piece for the campaign in After Effects or Flash.
    The batch and image processing scripts built into Bridge automate things like creating web-ready small jpegs from multiple images, renaming large numbers of files in place or by copying to an alternative location, creating sets of PSD, png, jpeg or other file types from an assortment of image files, and so on.
    Bridge is so much a part of my daily workflow that on my main workstation I have one monitor dedicated to it almost 100%. Bridge just sits open 24/7, ready for use. I would run at half speed without it, no question.

  • Multiple Data Sources and Accessing External Java APIs

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a couple of questions for which I was not able to find satisfactory answers in the forum search, so here they are. I would be really grateful if you can help us out with this.
    1. Accessing two Data Sources in the same report: We have a requirement to access two data sources in the same report, and use the data from one source to run a query on the other source. Our product (OIM) has its own DB. And it integrates with BPEL (another Oracle application) for some functionality. BPEL has its own DB. A few reports need data from both these repositories. For simplicity, consider that we need to join two tables, but one table is in OIM DB and the other is in BPEL DB. I guess such a join is not possible. So to work around it, we would like to run a query against one DB and then use the results to run a query on the other DB, which will basically simulate the join by running two queries.
    Is something like this possible in BIP? If not directly available, can you suggest something which can act as a work around to achieve this?
    2. Calling External Java APIs from BIP: We need to call some external APIs (for achieving Data Security) 'before' we run the queries in BIP. Basically the Java API will specifya set of keys which will have to be used in an 'in' clause. I looked at the section "Building a Data Template" in the BIP User's Guide (http://bipublisher.us.oracle.com/doc/prod_docs/BI_Publisher_10_1_3_3_3/bip.1013/b40017/T421739T434255.htm). As far as I can see, it discusses how to invoke a PL/SQL procedure using <datatrigger> but the usage is not clear to me. Is there any other document that discusses this in detail? Also, I am not sure if it is possible to access Java APIs. Has it been done before? If yes, then can anyone provide some sample code (sample report bits) which I can refer to to get this thing working?
    Also, the data coming from the Java API may not be in the correct format. We may have to do some additional processing (like converting data in a Java Object to something like comma separated list to be plugged into a query). Is that possible? What will be the best approach here?
    Sorry for the detailed post!
    Thanks,
    Jatan

    Yes you should be able to use both - for example using a Flash Variable to pass in the URL of the XML that you want to load.
    FlashVars are only supposed to be passed in on startup and they are defined as part of the OBJECT/EMBED tag for the HTML.
    Actually it was possible to update FlashVars at runtime in Xcelsius 4.5 with certain JavaScript calls but not in Xcelsius 2008 (because Adobe Flex which Xcelsius 2008 is based on does not allow the same mechanism).
    FYI, for those that are interested in Xcelsius 2008 you pass values into/out of Xcelsius at runtime using External Interface and JavaScript instead.

    Matt
