Can Photoshop Element 12 create new alpha channels?

Can Photoshop Element 12 create new alpha channels? I wanted to create one to help with blurring the background and I saw the step by step on line, but I can't find where the channel panel is? I have a PC

There is no channel panel in Elements. You could add some paths and channel features with third party add-ons like Elements+, but the real solution is to use a tutorial for Elements, not for Photoshop. There are always several ways to achieve something in Elements or Photoshop. Using alpha channels is only one way to help with blurring the background.

How do i create an alpha channel to place into edge animate?

HowHow do i create an alpha channel compatible with edge animate?

I don't use Edge, but since it is a web tool it stands to reason it would use standard web techniques, meaning it would rely on built-in transparency functions of formats like PNG and GIF, which you can easily produce by using Save for Web after creating normal transparency on a layer in Photoshop. No extra Alpha channel or otehr extra steps required. Perhaps Edge even has some stuff that does the conversion on the fly by allowing you to open a native PSD like in Dreamweaver, but beyond that I don't see what else it could/ would do - all the features it can provide are limited by standard specifications for HTML, CSS and JavaScript. There is simply no way to do something sensible with a TIFF in a browser, if you get my meaning .

Paint effect to create an alpha channel

Can one use the paint effect in Motion 3 to create an alpha channel. I want to be able to create a matte around someones eye. I wanted to be able to create my key by painting it on. Will paint effect do this or do I need to use shake. Or is there another way of achieving this with Motion 3.

This is really easy to do and there might be an even easier way, but this i how I did it:-
1) Create a group with your image you want to mask
2) Add an image mask to your image and toggle to invert mask and stencil off
3) Create another group but turn the visibilty off
4) drop this group into the image mask
5) Within this group, select the paint stroke tool basic solid and paint away!
Be careful you don't have the write on enabled as the mask will draw on, but maybe thats what you want!

Using the difference between two shots to create an alpha channel

If I were to lock my camera down and first film a shot of a non-moving background (say, my living room), then take another shot of someone walking into the room and sitting on a sofa, could I use the difference between the two shots (the person walking and sitting) to create an alpha channel?
What settings in Motion would I use to get this?

If you really want to do it within Motion, try stacking the clean frame and the the frame with the moving person over each other. Then set the blend mode to Difference for the top clip. You can clean this up a bit with a blur and a threshold filter, but Difference mattes are often a bit iffy.
If anything the person is wearing matches the background, for instance, that will be transparent.
After you've created a black/white representation of the "difference", you can add your person clip again to a new group, ⌘-shift-m to add a mask, then drag your difference group into it and set the source to luminance...
make sense?

Creating an alpha channel in an odd way ?

My question is about the functionality of After Effects. I highly doubt it's possible but would like to run it through people who would know. My question may not be clear as I'm not sure how to describe it!
I'm wondering if I can create an alpha channel using the still background of a shot, as an alternative to green screens and making it easier outdoors without needing crazy lights.
Here's an example. Say you film yourself using a tripod (so the background is still) walking away from a building and want to add an explosion behind you without masking every frame, would you be able to have it recognize the background using a picture without you in it or a still that has the same lighting, and using that to automatically have it differentiate that background from you thus creating an alpha channel or an automatic mask...
Thanks

For a Difference Matte to work absolutely nothing can be moving in the scene. Difference Matte will not work with compressed original footage. I know I've tried many times. If the wind is blowing in the grass or the trees are moving the Difference Matte will not work.
if you are planning this kind of shot then the best thing to do is try to find some good areas of contrast in the shot so you can create a procedural matte. A little garbage matte and a procedural matte created by adjusting levels or color or hue can create a much better matte and does not rely on the pixels being exactly the same on every frame.
Even easier is a carefully planned shot and Roto brush.

LP8: "Create New Auxilliary Channel Strips" won't create stereo

I have recently reloaded Logic Pro v8.0.2 onto a newly reformatted drive running OSX 10.5.8. I have opened a previous session, and brought Logic back out of Universal Track Mode. My mix busses had been converted to mono, so I deleted them and am attempting to recreate them. I'm having trouble creating stereo Aux channels to serve as stereo Bus channels. I try:
Mixer > Options > Create New Auxilliary Channel Strips
I choose these options:
Format: Stereo
Input: Bus 3-4 (for example), "Ascending" is checked
Output: Output 1-2
Upon clicking "Create" I get a mono track. In this example, a channel named Aux 3 which will only accept a mono input. I can therefore assign Bus 3 as the input on this Aux channel, but not Bus 3-4. There's no mono or stereo link-rings icon in the lower left of the Aux strip for me to toggle between stereo and mono.
Could someone explain what I'm doing wrong? Happy new year, all. - Jeff

I've got Core Audio going, and my interface is MOTU 828 mkII. My typical workflow has been with Universal Track Mode (UTM) deactivated. What I have seen is that when UTM is enabled on my sessions, the Aux channels switch from stereo to mono with the fader rotated all the way to the left.
That's what I saw when opening my session under the re-installed Logic, which defaulted to UTM enabled. So, I disabled UTM. But now, when creating new Aux strips, I get mono channels even when requesting stereo channels.
Also - typically, when I enable a bus send on an audio channel, the corresponding bus channel would appear in my Mixer. Now, that's not happening.
Thanks for your feedback thus far, Erik. - j

Can Photoshop Elements handle very large files?

I have some very large image files (up to 20,000 x 30,000 pixels). Microsoft paint can not open them because of resource limitations.
I don't want to do anything real fancy. Maybe extend a square matrix with white pixels or overwrite sections with white pixels.
Can Photoshop Elements deal with such large images, say just a chunk at a time? Or does it require to have the entire image in memory at one time?
Thanks.

This note from Adobe indicates that PSE5 and PSE6 could open such a file; probably the limits for PSE7 and PSE8 are either the same, or would allow even larger images to be opened.

Why i can't not create new database in oracle 10g express

why i can't not create new database in oracle 10g express?
should i use oracle 11g standard edition?
thanks

In Oracle a schema is what a 'database' is in Sqlserver.
And if you would have been aware about the limitations of XE, you would have known you can only create *1* (one) database using Oracle XE.
However, probably you don't need a new database at all, and a schema will suffice.
