A basic question about font use when creating a banner ad in PS

I am creating my first ever web ad in PS (Mac, CS4).  When finished, I'll Save for Web as a JPEG. The design is basically just some text superimposed over a photo. Am I free to use whatever font I choose? Or do I have to use one of the "web safe" fonts that (almost) everyone has installed?

the way u are creating it everything is rasterized... ie even the "text" is an image... so yes u can use what ever font u like...

  • A really basic question about fonts in InDesign

    I'm new to the world of graphic design and teaching myself through trial and error and Lynda. One of my biggest problems in designing my project is selecting fonts. There are about four million, two hundred twenty two thousand, six hundred, and seven .2 fonts in the world, and seeing an 8 point version of "Sample" just doesn't do it for me.
    I am reluctant to apply every font in turn to my text to see what it looks like. When searching the web, fonts displayed in 20 point glory, require at least a download, if not a credit card transaction as well. Am I missing some obvious panel that makes managing font selection easier. Perhaps a secret preference that could at least group fonts by family instead of alphbetically?
    Please help before I go blind. My eyes are starting to cross.
    Thanks! in advance for your help.

    Oh Steve there's a better way to see that type live, no black highlight.
    From InDesign Secrets -
    Select the text frame with the Direct Select Tool, than click within the character panel; use the kb arrow keys, up/down, to see the type change live.

  • A question about database schema when creating JClient Form

    Sir,
    I created a JClient Form application using the wizard, in which a JCLoginDialog was generated. Then I modified the JCLoginDialog.java file so that it works with JDBC instead of with the OracleAS JAAS Provider. My name is the database schama name, and I created the form using my name.
    When I log in using my name, It is fine. But when my colleague log in using her name, it is failed. The error message said that the table is not found. My colleague has access of the related database table through a database role.
    I think it is the schema problem when I create the model project. I do not know how to add the schema name before the table name, such as stephen.mytable .
    Please help me. Thanks
    Stephen

    I have solve the problem. That was a mistake I made.

  • One very basic question about inheritance

    One very basic question about inheritance.
    Why we need inheritance?
    the benefit of inheritance also achieve by creating instance of base class using it in other class instead of extending the base class.
    Can any one please explain why we are using inheritance instead of creating object of base class????

    One example of inheritance comes in the form of a vehicle. Each vehicle has similarities however they differ in their own retrospect. A car is not a bus, a bus is not a truck, and a truck is not a motorbike. If you can define the similarities between these vehicles then you have a class in which you can extend into either of the previous mentioned vehicles. Resulting in a reusable class, dramatically reduces the size of code, creates a single point of definition, increases maintainability, you name it.
    In short there are thousands of benefits from using inheritance, listing the benefits could take a while. A quick Google search should give you a few hundred k if not million links to read.

  • Basic question about NR filter

    Very basic question about the (perhaps oversimplified) interface of the noise reduction filter.
    Does anyone know definitively whether the first "Strength" slider is a master control for the filter overall (i.e. it controls the power of all other sliders below it), or whether it only affects an individual parameter (such as what might be perceived as luminosity-based noise, rather than color noise)?
    In other words, if Strength is set to zero, but Reduce Color Noise is set to 100%, does the color noise reduction effectively become zero or 100%?
    Neither the Help Menu nor three of the aftermarket books I have definitively addresses this. There are further redundancies regarding this "Strength" slider when advanced mode is turned on: for instance, if Strength on the "front" panel is set to 0, but 9 on the individual channel panels, what is the effective strength?
    Thanks in advance -

    Yes I'm sure it will work great for you.
    The iFrame format is something Apple has come up with. The reason for its existence is unknown to me so I can only speculate. But it seems to me that Apple "invented" this format in order to have devices such as Ipod/Ipad/Iphone/Ixxx create clips that are editable on consumer hardware such as already mentioned devices but also standard Mac computers, without the need for format conversion.
    iMovie converts most input formats during import, which takes a lot of time, and this need for conversion often comes as a surprise to most people new to home video editing.
    iFrame has a resolution of 960x540 which is long way from the common standards of 1920x1080 and 1280x720. If your end target is YouTube however, this may not be too bad though. However if you intend to go with YouTube HD, you may find iFrame footage to look wrong since they are effectively upscaled to a higher resolution.
    Technically iFrame uses the H.264 algorithm, a smaller frame size (960x540) and a rather low compression scheme. This will result in large files, but the plus side is that the files are ready for editing without the need for any conversion and iMovie will natively edit the files.

  • Basic questions about Network Licence

    Hi,
    Before buying, I have some basics questions about the network licence of Acrobat
    As an example, if I buy 5 network licence for 20 users.
    If the 5 licence are used or if one user is outside and can't access the licence serveur, is there still some basic features available? I mean, is there a "acrobat reader" part that still allow users to read pdf?
    In the same kind of problem, if 10 users are using Acrobat just for reading pdf file and that a user now want to use acrobat to create a pdf, is there still available licence  or the 5 firsts that are just reading have take the 5 licences available?
    Thank you for your answers

  • Basic question about importing wma files

    Hi, I have a basic question about importing wma files. I ripped some cd's on a Mindows computer using Media Player, but now want to copy them to my Mac and use them in iTunes on my Mac. when I use Import in iTunes, nothing happens and I cant even seem to copy them one by one using the Music folder.
    Can someone help me?
    thanks

    iTunes for Mac doesn't support .wma files.
    If you can use a PC to convert them, you can use one of many freeware applications. Google for 'wma to mp3'.
    For the Mac there's the shareware program EasyWMA that can convert them.

  • Question about the order to creating Account, Contact, Contact Role

    Hi, my friends,
    I have some questions about the order of creating Account, Contact, Contact Role, etc in Web Service 1.0. I could create them in the following case:
    1. Insert Contact object and get contactId (now new contact exists in CRMOD)
    2. Insert Account object with Contact Role child associated with contactId
    My questions are:
    1. Do we have the following order? Insert new Account with new Contact child and Contact Role child (Contact is new and does not exist in CRMOD).
    2. Looks like system need accountId, contactId, etc to make the objects relationship. Is there other field having the same function?
    Thanks
    Ray

    Hi Ray,
    In response to your questions:
    1. Do we have the following order? Insert new Account with new Contact child and Contact Role child (Contact is new and does not exist in CRMOD).No. Both the Account and Contact must already exist. The Role value is an attribute on the Account Contact relationship, this relationship must exist in order to assign a role value to it. This is consistent with the behaviour of the UI, when you press the New button on the Contact child applet, you are taken to the Contact New page where you can create a Contact record. Once you save, the relationship is created but you cannot assign a role value unless you click the Edit Roles link next to the new Contact.
    2. Looks like system need accountId, contactId, etc to make the objects relationship. Is there other field having the same function?Correct, the system needs to know which Account/Contact pair is being assigned a role value. To do this the Account and Contact values must be uniquely identified using the Id values for each.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Sean

  • Basic question about storage and safety in iMovie '11

    A very basic question about storage and safety:
    I want to keep a backup of my raw footage on my external hard drive prior to begin working on the movie in iMovie. I want to do this:
    1. Upload the digital files from my camcorder to my Desktop *(as opposed to iMovie)*
    2. Duplicate that footage/clips.
    3. Put the duplicate clips/footage into a folder labeled with the name of that footage (like "Fun At the Dentist" or "Jimmy Learns How to Yodel").
    4. Drag the folder with the footage/clips into my external hard drive into a pre-existing folder titled "Backups/duplicates of all of my raw footage/clips." This big granddaddy folder will house all of the child folders of different movies.
    5 Then, open up iMovie '11 and import the raw footage/clips from my Desktop rather than from my camcorder.
    6. Then I want to make a duplicate of my finished movie and put it in my external hard drive in a "Finished Movies" folder.
    I know that the original raw unedited footage will always be in iMovies '11 but I want the original to also exist immediately accessible in my external hard drive.
    QUESTION:
    Is this viable? Is it wise? (I know it goes an extra unnecessary step, but aside from that.)
    *Do you have any precautionary advice?* Should I do something in my iMovies '11 preferences? What?
    In earlier years with iMovie '04 or '06 (cannot recall) I made many novice errors and ended up losing audio to my finished movie. I also lost footage.
    This time around with iMovie '11 I don't to make such novice, ignorant errors.
    Thanks so much for any comments to this question.

  • Some basic questions about DAC

    3: How to determine which ETL task to run after and which after?
    4: Is subject area always map to the Informatica workflow folder? Or what should subject area be?
    Please shed some lights on it, deeply appreciate!
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I have problems to understand you question but will do a try:
    From a logical point of view objects can be only serialized reasonabely when they have a state of it's own which can be reestablished at a later point in time and space without further dependencies.
    F.E. a "serialized file" would NOT make much sense cause it depends heavily on the state of the underlying file system.
    You can't expected that is can be deserialized at a later point of time (physical file refered may not longer exists) or on another machine, where the serialized object was transported to.
    Technical - at zero approach - it's more or less trivial. Simply implement Serializable and all non static, non transient fields of your object will be serialized automatically.
    But there is a couple of pitfalls, you should study documentations regarding this feature.
    Hope this helps

  • Basic questions about Infocube

    Hi, everyone.
    I got very basic questions about infocube data handling.
    With infopackage, I extracted all the data about employees from R/3.
    But there were some mistakes during inputting employee data, like positions,
    so I just extracted those employees data once more.
    Now I have two requests in infocube, where the first one has some wrong data.
    Is there any solutions about this?
    I might got it all wrong, so as beginner, any suggestions and explanations will
    be grateful.

    Hi,
    You can manually delete the earlier request by going in the Manage option of the cube. select the request and click on delete icon at the bottom.
    Other option is to make setting in the Infopackage to delete similar or overlapping request.
    Data target tab --> 6th column Automatic loading / deletion of similar request. --> click on the blank icon --> you will get a pop-up --> select the radio button - "delete existing request" --> Select Conditions --> Infosource are same, datasource are same and source system are same, --> selections are "Same or  More Comprehensive "
    Assign points if useful

  • Basic Questions About Compiling Source

    Hi!
    I have some very basic questions about compiling source on 10.6. BTW, if the unix discussions still exist, they've hidden them pretty well, so I hope I'm in the right place for this!
    First off, you simply cd to the source dir, wherever it may be - in my case ~/Downloads/source/  - and during the install process, everything will be installed in its proper dir, right?
    How do you know which compiler to use? There seem to be several: make, gmake, gcc, g++, etc...
    Once you do figure out which compiler to run, the process is supposed to go like this, right?
    ./configure
    make (or whatever)
    make install
    But this doesn't always work for me. For instance, I'm trying to compile 'arm', but it doesn't seem to have a 'configure' script.
    $ ls ~/Downloads/arm
    ChangeLog
    README
    armrc.sample
    setup.py
    LICENSE
    arm
    install
    /src
    Maybe it's that 'setup.py' file? What are you supposed to do?
    Of course, it's not only this one that's given me trouble. Sometimes the readme will say I have to edit a certain file for my system. Are there just a few standard changes you always make? Or is it...how can I put it...complicated? How do you find out what's needed in those cases?

    This is the place for UNIX discussions. If you have developer-related questions, there is a forum dedicated to that as well: Developer Forums
    First off, you simply cd to the source dir, wherever it may be - in my case ~/Downloads/source/  - and during the install process, everything will be installed in its proper dir, right?
    Yes. Hopefully the project you want to install follows standard conventions. If so, you can do "./configure", then "make", and finally "sudo make install" to install the software into "/usr/local".
    How do you know which compiler to use? There seem to be several: make, gmake, gcc, g++, etc...
    The make file will figure that stuff out.
    Once you do figure out which compiler to run, the process is supposed to go like this, right?
    ./configure
    make (or whatever)
    make install
    Yes, with the addition of "sudo" before "make install" because "/usr/local" is owned by root.
    But this doesn't always work for me. For instance, I'm trying to compile 'arm', but it doesn't seem to have a 'configure' script.
    $ ls ~/Downloads/arm
    ChangeLog
    README

    arm

    arm? You mean "arm (anonymizing relay monitor) - Terminal status monitor for Tor relays." You really don't want to be messing with that stuff. The only people involved with Tor that are trustworthy are US Navy intelligence who have their own uses for it. If you don't understand it as well as they do, best stay away.

  • Basic questions about macbook pro + external monitor

    Hi,
    I have some very basic questions about using a Macbook Pro + external display. I don't actually have them but need to know how things works.
    So, here they are:
    1) Can I use the external display as the main display?
    2) Will the external display run with its resolution or with that of the mbook pro?
    3) Somewhere I read that you cannot keep the macbook pro open and get the full resolution of the external display. Is that true ?
    4) Is it dangerous to keep the mbook closed while using the external display?
    5) Does the usage of the external display impact on mbook performance?
    I know...a lot of questions , but would be nice if someone could help me.
    Thanks.

    Hi - I am presently using an external display.
    To answer your questions in sequence:
    1. Yes you can use the external display as your main display. The way to enable that mode is to put your MacBook Pro to sleep, attach the external display. Wake up your MBPro with the lid closed and you will see the external display as you main display. You can alternatively set the external to "Mirror" your notebook by using preferences/display.
    2. The external display will run at its resolution although you can adjust and calibrate it using Preferences/Display.
    3. Not true. You get max resolution on both displays. Of course you may have to tweak as mentioned above.
    4. Not at all. I use this mode all the time. Just make sure you initially set up as mentioned above and your LCD on the MBPro will stay off.
    5. I have not seen any performance degradation whatsoever.
    Hope this helps.

  • Basic questions about CISCO IOS

    Hi everybody, Jack here,
    I have some basic questions about the Cisco IOS, could someone help me addressing some of them please? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
    Basically, I have two IP addresses assigned by our Cable ISP. From what I understood you can configure a Cisco router for multiple IP addresses using the IOS, thereby allowing someone like myself to take advantage of having multiple IP addresses. This may seem unnecessary to some, but I've always wanted to put the 2nd IP address to use, since after all, I've been paying for it.
    I was just wondering if someone could confirm that what I'm hoping to accomplish is indeed within the capability of the Cisco IOS (i.e. Fully utilize my 2 IP addresses). As well, if someone could kindly suggest a decent CISCO router for online gaming home use that would be super awesome!
    Thank you all so much for reading through the wall of text:)
    Jack

    Jack
    Certainly using multiple IP addresses is in the capability of Cisco IOS routers. How they can be used depends on the relationship of the IP addresses. I am assuming that we are talking about IP addresses assigned for the user to use and that the IP address for the ISP connection is not one of these that we are talking about.
    If both of the IP addresses that you have been assigned are within the same subnet then you would assign one of the addresses to the router interface to establish IP communication between the router and the ISP and to enable Internet connectivity for the devices inside your network that will use the router as their gateway to the Internet. The other address that is assigned can be used for address translation and in particular for static address translation which would make one of your devices inside to be reachable for connections initiated from the Internet (if that is something that you might want to do).
    If the addresses that are assigned to you are in different subnets then you could assign one address to the outside router interface and assign the other address to the router inside interface. Or you could use the second address for address translation.
    I do not have much expertise with online gaming, but I would think that either the Cisco 881 router or the 890 router might be appropriate for you. If 100 Mb connection is sufficient then probably the 881 would be the one to look at. If you need Gig connection then look at the 890.

  • Basic questions about JAAS capabilities

    I've never used JAAS for authentication or authorization in a Java app before. Can somebody that has (or at least has some experience and knowledge about JAAS) please answer the following couple of basic questions about it? (I know I could probably answer these myself with a few hours of reading.)
    1. Can I use JAAS to restrict the users that can execute specific methods of my code?
    2. If the answer to #1 is yes, is there a way to programmatically determine if a JAAS login user has the permissions to run a method before actually calling that method. In other words, can I ask something like canUserExecute(method) or do I have to just put the call to the method in a try/catch and catch a security exception of some type?
    3. Is it fairly simple to have JAAS authenticate against a Windows Domain or a LDAP server?
    4. Are there programmatic ways to add or edit user information in JAAS?
    Answer to any of these questions are greatly appreciated. I'll even toss a couple of Dukes to the people that answer each question. Thanks in advance.
