Tracing images - I'm not doing it right.

Hi,
I'm using Image Trace to trace a black and white shape and I need some pointers on the procedure as I'm getting unwanted results.
I want to end up with one shape, yet (especially it seems with complex shapes) I seem to end up with a stacked duplicate. When I use 'expand' on the result to make it editable I've tried wtih both 'fills' and 'object' checked and also just 'fills', and this doesn't seem to make a difference either way.
In my Image Trace options I've black and white settings with Create Fills checked (I want no strokes), and I also have Ignore White selected because I don't want a border around my shapes which are black on white.
Can someone explain how I get the trace expanded with just one shape per shape (as it were). When I 'release compound' or ungroup I see theres' a double shape. It's unworkable as I don't have time to delete the copy.
Any help much appreciated
(thanks stupid text box for making this process slower than it need be)

I’ve got Live Trace so I can’t vouch for Image Trace, but if what Monika says is right (and it usually is) you can select the areas with black fill and lock them. Then delete the stuff that isn’t coloured.
I believe that Image Trace has the possibility of producing stacks rather than compounds (like Streamline in the old days).
You should definitely go for stacks. They make editing much easier.

IMAQ Quantify rseults with use of image mask are not of the right regeons

I'm using the IMAQ quantify VI from labview to analize a binairy image. This binairy image is an 8bit image that consists only of pixels with the value 0 or 1. The places of the binairy image where the pixels have the value 0, mean that a corresponding image has not data in that place. A pixel value of 1 means that there is data that should be processed later in the program in the corresponding image.
The quantify function is also used to devide the image in 666 regeons with the use of the image mask input. These regeons are squares of 22x22 pixels. The image mask consists of 666 regeons (horizontally 74 sqaures, vertically 9 sqaures) and each of the regeons has his own regeonal number. The resulting regeonal report is used to decide whether each regeon has data in it or not, with the use of the mean value in the report. When the mean value is equal to 0 than it is sure that there is no data in that regeon since all the pixels in the regeon have to have the value of 0. If the mean is not 0 at least one of the pixels in that regeon has the value of 1, wich means that there is data in the regeon. The image mask is created from an 2D array wich is converted to an 16 bit image with the use of IMAQ ArrayToImage.
I've checked that the input data is correct: the binairy image consist of only 1 and 0 values, the image mask is consist of 666 sqaures of 22x22 pixels and each sqaure has pixels in it with the value corresponding to the regeonal number of the sqaure, the binairy image and the image mask have the same size, the image mask is an 16 bit image and both images have the same border size (3).
Two problems occur:
1) The regeonal report doesn't consist of 666 elements, but of 665 elements (element 0 to 664)
2) The data in the regeonal report is not of the right area's. It looks like the data is shifted one to the right in the regeonal report array, the data in element 0 isn't from regeon 0 but from regeon 1, element 1 corresponds to regeon 2, and so on. I'm haven't checked if the data is exactly of the next regeon, but I suspect it because of the regeonal report array being one short. But it is also possible that the regeons aren't placed on the right place in the binary image.
If someone else occured this problem with the IMAQ Quantify function or has a solution to it, I would really apreaciate a reply.

Isn't there anybody who encountered the same problem or with an solution?

Hi I have purchaed 7500 T- Coins for tetris and every time i play i have no poer coins i don't understand why this keeps happening Please let me know if maybe im not doing something right otherwise i would like a refund as these T- coins are doingnothing

As i said i purchased 7500 T-coins for tetris and i run out of ower coin in seconds the T-coins seem to NOT be doing anything to help my game if that is the case i want to cancel my orders for a refund .Maybe i am using them wrong or they didnot kick in please let me know Thank You Laura

There is no configuration of a MBP that will satisfy the needs of all users. The variables are too many for the tasks that are required for the MBP to perform.
If cost is no object, the fastest CPU is a given as well as RAM. Needs for same may be few and not often if ever used, but certainly will do no harm,
Storage is an issue of a HDD with greater capacity compared with the speed offered by SSD with lesser capacity.
Size can be important. The convenience of portability of a 13" MBP with the larger and heavier 15" and 17' MBPs.
In the final analysis, you have to make these decisions.
Ciao.

Time Series Function not doing it right

Hello guys
I have setting up the time dimensional hierarchy with Year -- QTR---Month--- Days order..
I have a measure call 'Forward Amt' which needs to applied with Month-to-date calculation. Therefore I am using time series functions.
I have copied the same measure and renamed it as 'MTD Forward Amt' and defined the todate function according to the syntax:
TODATE("Forward Details"."Forward fact"."Forward Amt", "Forward Details"."DatesDim"." Dates Month")
I set everything according to the standard steps
In the presentation however when I am running reports using dates = 03/10/2010, I am getting:
Month                 Forward Amt              MTD Forward AMT
3                          3000000                       The $3000000 is actually correct value for the date 03/10/2010, but the MTD Forward AMT is empty..
For further investigations, I decided to take out the date column and date filter, then I got:
Month                 Forward Amt              MTD Forward AMT
1                          500000000
2                          10000000
3                          349000000
4                                                         500000000
5                                                         10000000
6                                                         349000000I don't think this is correct result of the todate function at month level..
Could anybody suggestion any approach for me to investigate this behavior?
Thanks

I just installed the new firefox for Mac OSX 10.6.8 and when I select an image on a site (right click and copy) and paste in Photoshop 5.5, the image lightens. It does not do this in Safari.

Question
I just installed the new firefox for Mac OSX 10.6.8 and when I select an image on a site (right click and copy) and paste in Photoshop 5.5, the image lightens. It does not do this in Safari.

Firefox, Safari, and PhotoShop each handle embedded color profiles differently. For an add-on that makes it easier to experiment with Firefox's color management options, you might be interested in: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/color-management/ Color Management :: Add-ons for Firefox]. I haven't tried it myself.

Error: X "does not have permission to write to the application's directory! Are you running off a disk image? If not, ask your system administrator for help."

I have received to following error from at least three different applications when they have attempted to auto-update recently: X "does not have permission to write to the application's directory! Are you running off a disk image? If not, ask your system administrator for help."
I am not running off a disk image and I have admin privileges... Not sure what the problem is, but it just started happening (a week or two ago) and I have never previously had a problem with these applications auto-updating. I have repaired permissions and attempted other "fixes" found on the interweb, but nothing works. Also, this is only happening on my iMac (27" Intel i5) and not my MacBook Pro (17" Intel i5) -- both are running Lion. Please help!

If you updated using the default install (merge) from before Tiger, you may be seeing an issue that we saw when Leopard first came out last year.
Not sure of the fix - it was not simple - but if you search back in these forums you might find something that will help. I believe it deals with the numbers assigned to accounts (501, etc).
If you open your Accounts Preferences and unlock the padlock, right-click Advanced Options and read your User ID and Group ID. Let us know what they are.
Now, in the other user admin account, do the same thing.
One of the real experts who knows much more about this than I may be able to then help.

TS3048 my magic mouse does not want to right click anymore?

My magic mouse does not seem to right click anymore, any suggestions? For example, I used to right click on my icon of my memory card from the camera that I have inserted into the side of the IMac and I could choose "eject" now it doesn't want to right click and open up those options. Am I doing something wrong?

Hey.
This seems to be a common issue.
I've seen mixed posts on the net about the ES8000 working with the Apple Keyboard but from what I've seen the Apple mouse tends to fail the sync constantly.
Sad, I just bought a mouse to improve navigasting on the ES8000 and dissapointed that it doesn't sync. Maybe an issue with drivers on the TV.
Which Dell mouse (model number) works for you?

What is the problem specifiaclly?
If the images are intended for web use I would recommend converting them to sRGB which could be done with Edit > Convert to Profile or with File > Save for Web, but as including a Save step in Actions and applying them as Batch can sometimes cause problems I would go with regular converting.
You could also try Image Processor Pro.

Hello,
How can I give a answer back in the discussion on Adobe.com?
I don’t see any link?
1.      We have a subscription.
2.      Im converting a newsletter from the web to PDF.
3.      Sometimes I put a weblink behind the image in the newsletter. Most of the time PDF wont take the links behind the image.
Only the tekstlinks are OK.

I am trying to send photos to the cloud from my phone to my iPad but they are not appearing in the stream. I have read the instructions and I think I am doing it right or am I missing a part of the process?

I am trying to send photos to the cloud from my phone to my iPad but they are not appearing in the stream. I have read the instructions and I think I am doing it right or am I missing a part of the process?

HI,
Have you done this before ? And if so, is photo stream turned on on your iphone and ipad. and as Alfred DeRose pointed out they must both on the same icloud account.
If you're new to this, you might want to do some research. Photo stream is different from camera roll and albums. Many have been on this sight looking for their photos stored in icloud after restore, etc. and they're not there. Also, after thirty days icloud deletes your photos from photo stream.
So if you're not aware, you might want to google your question. We're using the camera connection kit soon and I am learning about it. From all I've read, I'm also not the biggest icloud fan. I use dropbox. We plan to put photos taken on ipad with a camera/iphones into albums on the ipad. We'll keep all on the sd card until (and after) they can be uploaded to a computer.
An example of an article we can learn from -

Everyone who logs into Facebook on my Firefox has this problem however if we use Internet Explorer - facebook looks normal.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause issues like you described.

Shooting "squeezed" 16:9 does not look quite right when exported to 16:9

Hard to put a title which would cover the problem well, probably hard to describe it well, too, for an amateur:)
Anyway, I have a cheap JVC GR-D320E which serves me well as a beginner´s camera (for the price I gave) but when I shoot in what it calls 16:9 mode which I have understood it is not true 16:9 but in a way squeezed, and I import this to FCE (set to Anamorphic PAL), it all looks good within FCE but when I export it using QT Conversions and setting the proportions and size manually to what is supposed to be the right dimensions for 16:9 PAL (1024x576 if I remember it correctly) it does not look right. The persons "grow shorter and fatter", if you know what I mean.
I have tried to change the dimensions in QT Pro, but the problem is to find the correct ones. I also wonder why this happens and if there actually are "correct" proportions which then would be something between 16:9 and 4:3 or if I am doing something wrong?
When I export not using QT Conversions, the result is 4:3 which isn´t right, either...
Well, hope I have been able to describe this in a way which is possible to understand...

I want to export it for several purposes; all you mention, in fact; to put on the web, to play on the monitor and to make a DVD. As I mentioned, when I exported as a QuickTime movie, it came out as a 4:3 and that of course, looked awful.
Using the conversions, I can scale it as I want to, but to me 16:9 does not look exactly right, either. That is why I wanted to know if there are some proportions in between the 4:3 and 16:9 which is appropriate for footage which is not filmed in true 16:9 but in this option which cheaper cameras have.
The article you linked to, did not tell anything new, alas.

Does Firefox has this option (which I may not know) to click on my bookmark, link, etc. where to open a new tab without doing this right-click, it is aggravating?

Hello, I would like to use Firefox as my default browser, but the reason I still use the old Netscape Navigator is that that clicking on my bookmarks Firefox is not opening new tab.

10.8 - image capture - "import to" does not allow to select a program

Hi,
after updating to 10.8 I was hoping that my problem with 10.7.4 and Image Capture would be solved but it persist and additionaly has removed all my setings.
When Image Capture shows the pictures of my iPhone I select some pictures and go to "Import To Other".
That will open the "Open" dialog with all Programs/Applications on my Mac, but all Programs/Applications are grayed out.
Until 10.7.3 one was able to select any program to send the pictures to it like Evernote, ExifRenamer, etc.
Anyone else has the same issue?
Regards, Carsten
