Menu Overlays created in Photoshop aliasing badly - help

Hello all, I'm creating a menu pages using flattened images from photoshop, once imported, if I select them in the viewer they appear good but once I apply them to a background image they alias badly. I've tried both highlight selections (simple & advanced) really no improvement. What am I missing here? I'm sure it's simple. Thanks in advance. Oh and I've set my photoshop files to 720 x 480 at 72 dpi- also tried 720x534, no improment there either.

All overlay files look un anti-aliased because the subtitle stream does not supprt antialiasing. Take any Hollywood movie and look at the overlay highlights, they have the same problem to deal with.
The key is to optimize your design to cut down on the jaggies. I use retangles as highlights all the time. Any rounded edges will show jaggies. Reducing opacity sometimes helps to hide it as does using advance overlays and creating a stroke around your highlight.

How to restrict usage of "Create Support Message" action in Help menu

Dear Experts,
hoping someone can help me to find a solution to this:
in our company we are building a business process so that not everyone should be able to open a new support message under maintenance cycle, but only "Power Users" - we call them BPE for Business Process Experts.
All the rest business comunity should filter their inquiries thru BPE's, and if BPE decides that Support Message is required, then (s)he will use the Create Support Message function under Help main menu.
Is there any way in SAP to restrict usage of "Create Support Message" function to only a group of people (BPE) by security or other means, so that it's invisible (or not executable) by other people ?
Thank you in advance
Elena

Hi,
You can restrict the creation of support message thru the Auth Obj CRM_ORD_PR.
Thnx,

Help, i am trying to print my JPEG file that i created in photoshop at a photo lab but it is coming out like an X-ray. I have printed these files before so i have no idea what i am doing wrong.
Could it be something i have done in my settings?
or when i am saving the file to JPEG?

Basically you're approaching this the wrong way around. What you need is the extreme sections to be quieter, not louder. The problem with moving the lower end of the audio is that you'll move the noise floor too, and get what's generally referred to as a 'pumping' effect. So what you do is to use a compressor to tame the peaks, and leave the lower level sound alone. When you've done that, you amplify (or normalize to a level you can determine) the whole signal. So the noise floor will be higher, but constant and not pumping. 'Match Volume' is a completely different tool for setting the overall levels of different tracks so that they sound approximately the same - it doesn't even begin to do what you want.
If it's music you are treating, then I'd almost certainly use the multiband compressor, because you get less artefacts with this. You need to experiment with the threshold levels, and almost certainly not use a massive compression ratio - 3:1 or 4:1 should be sufficient (although it's hard to tell without actually hearing the audio). You can tell what it's doing at any given point because the downward meter indicates how hard it's working. In theory you can apply make-up gain with it as well, but personally I leave that until everything's treated and use the 'Normalize' tool to set an absolute max level.

I just downloaded photoshop elements - have opened an existing pdf drawing - 1) I am trying to create layers; however, the option is not available? (i.e. greyed out rather than black) from the drop down menu - "layer" - "create new"? what do i do

I have CS2 but my help menu shows up as Photoshop Elements

I have CS2 but my help menu shows up as Photoshop Elements. Does any one know what the issue is?

THANK YOU CHRIS!
You solved my problem. I did have one unused language defined, i thought i needed 2 languages but apparantly i don't, because my DVD now works fine.
It was very hard to trace the problem because the whole concept of languages and menus is still sort of unclear to me. I guess i need to do some studying on that. The DVDP manual sadly lacks a good tutorial on how to set up a multi-lingual DVD with multiple subtitle streams.
Now i've set up 2 menus for each version (the movie with and without subtitles), only one language and all is well.
One thing still puzzles me: The first version (the one with the unusued language) did play fine on a G4 with Panther. The white menus showed up on a G5 with Tiger and on my standalone DVD-players. So somehow Quicktime also plays a role in this. The fact that this is a DVD9 has nothing to do with it. Thanks again.

Menu overlay problems - Am I missing something?

Hello!
I've been making menus by creating a photoshop document, then using that as my background and overlay, setting the overlay in DSP as a certain layer I created in photoshop. I've done this a hundred times before, but since I got the crossgrade update, when I bring a psd or tif file into DSP, I can't select one of the layers as an overlay. I know there are multiple layers when I save it in photoshop. I'm trying to make my button have an underline when selected, so if there's any other way I can do this, please help.

Usually it is better to make flattened images for the background and overlay
http://dvdstepbystep.com/quickmenus.php
as oppossed to targeting layers in a photoshop file (unless you are using layered menus of course.)
If you still want to try the layers, make sure all text and layers are rasterized.
In general though, be careful with the crossgrade, there have been a couple of VERY strange results occcurring (layers not showing on players) from the Universal Version. The work around seems to be to make the background a motion menu (even if just a still for a few seconds)

Cannot install my costco photoshop 12 please help. it is now installing itself. Will take it back tomorrow.

I have been working on installing this software for weeks now and am at the end. The first time the organizer installed but the editor wouldn't. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times and am ready to take this application back to the store. I have a Vista machine.

It still didn't work. I paid for Photoshop 12 at Costco. The organizer downloaded just fine but when I tried to use the editor, the screen appeared asking for my Adobe sign on, I signed on, and then the application just churned. I had to use task manager to stop it. Per your instruction, I downloaded Photoshop 13 from the site, it downloaded fine and then asked for my Adobe sign on and then just churned. I can now access Photoshop 13 organizer but still can't get editor.
This is ridiculous. Last night I did the msconfig.exe and followed the instructions on changing the start up menu and disabling everything.
I am furious about this. It looks like you want me to pay for Photoshop Elements 13 when I can't get 12 to work. This is a Vista machine.

CRM Badi help

Hi All,
I am doing and CRM Implementation and i need to enhance Badi and the method mentioned-->CRM_ORDERADM_H_BADI' and in 'CRM_ORDERADM_H_MERGE'.
I am new to Badi. if some one can send me the code it will be great help. I will modify the badi as per my requierment. Just need to know what all thing are requiered when enhancing the BADI.
************************Points will be rewarded.*************************
Thanks in advance

Hi Shilpa,
As you mentined in the thread, i think , you reqiured to create an implenetation for the badi by
1. SE18 2. Type Badi name(click display): CRM_ORDERADM_H_BADI
3. menu->implementation>create->(give name)
4.then Write the code for the Method :CRM_ORDERADM_H_MERGE
Can you explain for what purpose or requirement it is needed to enhance the BADI - CRM_ORDERADM_H_BADI ??
For your reference this is the Documentation of the BADI :CRM_ORDERADM_H_BADI
BAdI: General Processing of Header Data
In this step, you can create enhancements for processing header data in transactions. The following data is availabe to you in the Business Add-In CRM_ORDERADM_H_BADI:
CRM_ORDERADM_H_CHECK: BAdI to check object ORDERADM_H
CRM_ORDERADM_H_MERGE: BAdI to merge object ORDERADM_H
CRM_ORDERADM_H_CHECK
Additional checks can be carried out - the results of these checks can be copied as error messages.
All parameters are copied as importing parameters in the interface.
The error message error_occured can be triggered.
CRM_ORDERADM_H_MERGE
All parameters are copied as importing parameters in the interface.
An individual BAdI structure containing the communication fields for the object is copied as a changing parameter.
If the error message error_occured is triggered, an error message is copied to the application log. If no error is triggered, the changed data is copied from the BAdI structure to the wrk structure. This means that you have the option of changing values for this object with this BAdI.
Prerequisites:
In order that you can use a business add-in, an implementation must be generated for the availabile definition for the BAdI, and the relevant methods must be programmed.
Recommendation:
Error messages:
Error messages should not be issued directly, but should be forwarded to the application log using the function module CRM_MESSAGE_COLLECT. By defining the error gravity, you can define whether it leads to a program termination, an incorrect status or only a warning in the transaction.
The error messages issued must, however, be deleted by the implementer at the start of the BAdI, as otherwise they will not disappear from the log file, and the system would therefore continue to display the error, even if it was already solved.
Example
data:
    ls_msgidno type bal_s_idno,
    lt_msgidno type bal_r_idno,
    lv_save_message    type c.
ls_msgidno-sign       = 'I'.
ls_msgidno-option     = 'EQ'.
ls_msgidno-low-msgid = 'CRM_ACTIVITY_H'.
ls_msgidno-low-msgno = '801'.
append ls_msgidno to lt_msgidno.
call function 'CRM_MESSAGES_DELETE'
exporting
    it_r_msgidno   = lt_msgidno
    iv_ref_object = is_activity_h_wrk-guid
    iv_caller_name = gc_object_name-activity_h. " See include programCRM_OBJECT_NAMES_CON
*In the error case, collect the message:
if <error_condition>.
messge id 'CRM_ACTIVITY_H' type 'E' number '801'
         into lv_save_message.
call function 'CRM_MESSAGE_COLLECT'
exporting
    iv_caller_name = gc_object_name-activity_h " See include programCRM_OBJECT_NAMES_CON
    iv_ref_object = is_activity_h_wrk-guid.
endif.
Screen with customer fields
If you want to depict customer-specific fields on a screen, follow the corresponding procedure.
Activities
1. Create an implementation.
2. Assign the BAdI definition to the implementation.
3. Navigate to one or several methods in the editor, using double-click, in order to program the methods.
4. Activate the methods.
5. Activate the implementation.

Text looks anti aliased -- bad

I created a menu in Photoshop CS. The text created using Photoshop looks jagged. Also looks bad when imported into Encore. Any ideas?

Guessing that the text you are talking about is in the highlight/subpicture layer, please have a look at
Must subpictures always be on top?

How can I convert an image created in Photoshop into a format that Java's ImageIO library will take?

Hi all,
I've been trying to write an image resize tool to use the Lancoz resample algorithm to resize images to a high standard in Java. The library with the algorithm/filter in it is mortennobel's image scaling library and it takes a buffered image as an input and returns the resized image as desired. However the trouble I’m having is that the ImageIO library in Java, a standard library, which converts images given to its read method to buffered images doesn't accept certain images created in Photoshop and so it throws an exception. My library needs to be fully automated to process possible thousands of images at a time and so manually converting them by resaving them as JPEG's is really feasibly. Is there some way I can convert these images from Adobes Exif format to standard JFIF format? I've tried simple inserting the APP0 marker from a JFIF image in-between the SOI and APP1 marker but the ImageIO library still failed.
The above image is a screenshot of the binary in hex of one of the images that cause an Invalid Format exception when passed to ImageIO.
Any help you could offer me with this would be much appreciated.
Kind regards and thank you,
Alexei Blue
Science Warehouse.
NB: I previously posted this post in Developers but was told to post it in a Photoshop forum so apologies if this is the incorrect formum

The image scaling library does have a BiCubicFilter in it so I'll experiment around with them and see what happens. As for the imageIO library I think it accepts Exif image types, but still for some reason it just doesn't like Adobe Photoshop types. Maybe its the colour map it doesn't like I just can't seem to work out what's wrong which is slightly frustrating but looking round to see if I can find an answer

syncing iphone and can't seem to transfer audiobooks that i have put in a playlist. Sync menu doesn't show all playlists. Help

I have the same problem with podcast playlists. When I go to the music window in my iPhone devices section, the playlists I have created on my macbook pro in iTunes do not appear as an option to sync with the iPhone. I know some web radios streams, like the BBC, won't transfer because of compatibility issues, but the playlists of podcasts that I have created consist entirely of podcasts downloaded from the podcasts section on the iTunes Music Store. They used to show up and sync properly before I upgraded to OS 5.1.1, but now they don't.
Does anyone have a fix and am I right in surmising that the cause is a glitch in OS 5.1.1?

Dear Anand,
Thank you for the reply. But this one will work, if i create a support desk message through t.code NOTIF_CREATE.

Flash problem with shadows created in PhotoShop

I am relative flash newbie. I created a PSD file in photoshop
that has a "hole" in it and the hole has drop shadow, the
background is transparent. Saved out PSD and created new Flash
file.
Put this graphic on one layer and image on a layer behind to
show through. But the drop shadow I created in Photoshop does not
show correctly. It's much lighter over top of the graphic behind
it.
Any ideas?
Using -> Photoshop CS2 Flash MX
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks the PNG helped a little but I guess it is a
transparency issue with the graphic.

Editing text in Photoshop CS3 file causes crash. File originally created in Photoshop CS6

Trying to edit text in Photoshop CS3 file causes a crash - Tried on multiple PC's
File originally created in Photoshop CS6 with "Maximise PSD/PSB File Compatibility" set at "Always".
Document size A4, using Arial Regular. RGB. 8Bits. 72dpi

Interestingly I have found that if I modify a document in CS6 from an earlier CS3-CS5 document and save it - it works fine. But if I create a new document in CS6 the issue persists.
Looks like I will be modifying old documents for the time being
Would be grateful for some advise eon this.
