if you have a helpful hint please comment thank you

Adobe TV has a whole selection of free videos that should help you to get started.
http://tv.adobe.com/show/learn-photoshop-elements-8/
You can also find lots of videos using Google...
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=opera&hs=6js&rls=en&q=Photoshop%20Elements%208&u m=1&ie=UTF-8&tbo=u&tbs=vid:1&source=og&sa=N&tab=wv
or YouTube

If you just search for Photoshop Elements (without limiting it to Photoshop Elements 8 as I did) you will get even more results...most if not all things should work in version 8. (Version 8 user interface will look different and may have additonal features as each version gets new goodies.)

I really dont understand how this works

alright first off this isnt for a school assignment so please dont feel guilty about "giving it away"
alright so this has to do with something called gridworld, if you ever seen it you know what it is, if you havents its basiclly a java built world that has bugs, rocks, flowers, and other things.
(here is a video showing the basics of gridworld http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnWGOT5Bd2E&feature=related). i program in JCreator btw not greenfoot.
alright getting to the point i have the code for a bug someone build called a "chameleoncritter". what the bug does is change colors depending on what it is next to, so if it is next to a pink rock it changes pink, ive been reading the code and can honestly not figure out how this method changes its color depending on what it is next to. here is the code

HT1926 is there anyway around not being able to download itunes on the surface i downloaded an app for the RT call RTremote and its for itunes but i dont understand how it works

i have recently purchased a Surface RT because i liked the idea of the PC/Tablet but now im beginning to think i screwed myself over. for instance i cant download itunes well... i can it goes through the entire download and at the very end it tells me that i cant run this on my PC asnd wants me to get evrything out of the windows store. i dont understand this i still have a desktop feature that looks and is like any other computer but why can i not download itunes? also i downloaded the RT remote app which is supposed to access itunes but it as to be up and running on your desktop I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS! please help

It is not possible to install iTunes on a Windows RT device. The RT device is not a full scale computer OS.

Finally I dont understand how to compound regular expressions, help please

I have read a lot of information about it, but .... I still do not understand how to make compound expresions ....
How must I use [ ] ?
Please three examples :
I want to search :
- any character but nothing of "abcd"
- any character but no 'dot' at any position
- any character but no 'dot' at position 4
Any good tutorial ?
Thank you

The way you have used the word 'search' create some uncertainty in my mind as to what you are asking for. I suspect that what you really want is a 'true' or 'false' that a given string matches some pattern. There are other ways to do this but ...
"any character but nothing of "abcd" " then use Matcher.matches() using regex "[^abcd]*" .
"any character but no 'dot' at any position" then Matcher.matches() using regex "[^.]*" .
"any character but no 'dot' at position 4" then Matcher.matches() using regex "(?!.{3}\\.)" .

Need a Little Help with Understanding How Layers Work in PSE

I have PSE version 5 and I am using it on a PC with Windows XP.
As I get more into editing photos, I am enjoying it, but confusion is also starting to set in. My question is about layers. When I go to edit a photo for web/email use only, I start by resizing it to 72 ppi and then reducing the pixel dimensions quite a bit. Then after that I normally go through this process of editing the photos by using normally about three different commands. One is Levels, then I may go to Shadows/Highlights, and then my last command is always sharpening. I used to do this all on one layer, but then finally learned to put each one of these editing features on their own layer so I can make changes/deletions without too much trouble.
When I started doing the separate layers, I was just making a copy of the background layer each time and then touching that particulay layer up with Levels, Sharpen or Shadows/Highlights. But I noticed that depending on the order in which the layers were placed, some changes would be obscured. If I put the Levels layer on top, and then the Sharpen layer and the Shadows/Highlight layer below that, the sharpen effect and the shadows/highlights effects were no longer there. I could only see the levels effect. The photo was still not sharp and so on. If I put the Sharpen level on top, then the photo showed the sharpen effects, but now the Levels and Shadows/Highlights effects were no longer visible.
So then I started to make a copy of the background initially, do a levels adjustment here, then, instead of making a copy of the original background layer again, I would make a copy of the layer that now has the levels changes on it. Then do the sharpen effect on this layer. This way I had all the changes on one layer as long as I put that layer as the top layer. But then I realized that I once again fI didn't have a layer with only one fix on it. Finally, I started to use an adjustment layer for Levels, put this as the top layer, make a copy of the background layer, do shadows/highlights, copy background layer again, do sharpen, and this seems to work a little better. But even with this way, depending on what order I place the sharpen and shadows/Highlights layers, one of them still seems to get obscured by the layer above it.
Can someone help me to understand how layers work in this regard. I am obviously a little confused here.
Thanks,
Lee

You really aren't working efficiently. First of all, do your editing on a full sized version of the photo, since you have more data for PSE to work on and will get better results. Use save for web to make your web/email copy when you are totally done. You can resize it down on the right side of the save for web window.
Duplicating a regular layer makes an opaque layer that obscures the layers below it. It's best to start off by not working on your original image, so that you don't have to worry if you mess up. If you're working on a copy, you can work right on the background layer, or only duplicate the layer once and apply your changes to that. So you'd apply both shadows/highlights and sharpening to the same layer.
Finally, you should use an adjustment layer for levels. Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Levels. This will put levels on a transparent layer above your image, but you will need to click the layer below it to get back to a pixel layer to apply other changes (you can't sharpen an adjustment layer, for example).

Can't understand how Finder handles photos!

I would like to understand how finder handles photos because I switched from windows recently and can't understand some things.
First example, renaming lots of photos (without using iPhoto). I already have a automator action for renaming files, but if I have lots of photos with the numbers wrong, I wanted to organize the photos by date created and then rename them and get them in order. The problem is finder renames the files but with some order he chooses, and not the one I wanted. I know this happens because I select all the photos and he decides this way, but how can I do this my way!?
The second question is kinda related. If I open lots of photos in finder (using command+a and command+o), why do the photos that are open in preview are opened in an order finder chooses, even if I arrange my photos in different orders (kind, name, date, etc)?
I'm finding handling files in finder a little too much work to do, it was supposed to be a simple thing, just renaming or opening photos, because despite all his many weaknesses, windows worked kinda well with files, like pictures...

Part of it depends on what criterion you have chosen to arrange the files in the Finder window: Name, Date Modified, Date Created, Size, Kind, Label. If by Name, I think the ones with numbers are ordered before letters.

I want to understand how crypto works.

Hi, I want to understand how crypto works and all. where i can start with. i really dont know anything about crypto. i need to understand how DC and keys and algorithims work together and how they work. pls suggest me where and with what i can start.

I am sorry but I don't understand how to delete photos from my Iphone that were sys from a computer.

I just don't understand how to delete photos from my Iphone placed there by Syc.

Well, if they were synced fomr a computer then the iPhone says the computer "owns" them for instructional purposes. You have two options.
1) Plug your iPhone up to any computer with iTunes. You can get itunes at www.itunes.com Then tell it to sync photos, but then select no photos or an empty folder. This will override what the previous computer put on your iPhone.
2) Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings and say goodbye to everything including those synced photos. If you make a quick backup first in iCloud (be sure it finishes) then you can restore form your iCloud backup via Wifi and those synced photos wont be there. How to backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

If you see that pop up you enabled icloud. Whether you want or do not want now to use it irrelevant until you actually disable activation lock.
In order to do that you have to change your apple id back to do that just long enough to sign in and back out. System will ask you to verify, don't.
Just sign in on the prompt you getting and then logout. Once done, change apple id to what you have now and verify. Then decide if you want to
use icloud (who does not want to be able to track their phone if lost or stolen).

I want to understand how lyncs works, when I made video conferences with someone in my same building, if my call go to to server and then go to the person I´m calling.
Or if Lync realizes that we are in the same building so it never leaves, so it don’t generate traffic. My concern is the bandwidth consumption.
Please a I need the information.
thanks

hello,i have a macbook pro and i just recently downloaded facetime, and now i cant use it, it says An internal FaceTime error occurred,i dont know how to fix it, please help.

If your webcam is powered by USB, make sure it is attached directly to your Mac and not a USB hub. In my case, I had my Rocketfish webcam attached to a peripheral USB hub and it wasn't drawing enough power to operate at capacity. Therefore, Facetime was quitting on me and giving me that exact error message. Once I attached the webcam directly to my Mac USB port, problem solved. Hope that helps.

Not understanding how Wifi Works

Good morning all, so I'm not understanding how Wifi works on the 3GS. It seems to behave differently then on the 3G. If I send a video to some one and hit the sleep awake button it never goes through. It seems to only send it if I keep the screen active, and I'm not understanding how keeping wifi on drains the battery if everytime I hit the sleep button it disconnects it. It's kind of annoying, because before you could shoot off an email and it would go right through. I have noticed though that if it's on 3G it does go through. Has any one else noticed this? Thanks!

I notice sometimes when I am connected to WiFi that after I wake up the phone it takes a couple seconds to reconnect to WiFi so it does seem like the phone turns the WiFi off at some point while sleeping or at least goes into some sort of standby maybe. I don't think I have had an issue of it turning off after you hit sleep until it was done sending though. I would think that if the WiFi does turn off while asleep that it would have a sleep time after a certain amount of inactive time and not the second the screen is off.
I'm interested in finding this out as well. I havent had this issue but I do send a lot of large attachments and may need to know this for future reference.

You can do it by going to settings, general, software update. Or you can connect it to iTunes and it should prompt you to update.
