A question about some of the features

I have Vista so therefore am unable to use the trial version of photoshop elements. Before I go ahead and purchase the software, I had a few questions about its features.
I'll mainly be using photoshop to create digital scrapbooks. I know that photoshop comes equipped with themes and images, but I would like to know if I can use my own backgrounds and images. If I am able to use my own backgrounds, can they tile?
Another thing I would like to know is if I can create my own projects with custom dimensions.
Lastly, I'll be using photoshop to sprite. Is elements well suited for spriting? More specifically, does it have a color selection/replacement tool?

I use PSE for digital scrapbooking. Instead of using the "built in"
creations and albums, just create your own PSD files with layers of
whatever images/embellishments/background papers you want. You can
specify whatever size of creation you want when you create your PSD file
(you only have the choice of certain sizes when you use the built in
stuff).
Not sure about what you mean about making your backgrounds tile, but I
think it is possible. You can take a "background" paper, do a selection,
and then define a pattern and fill it. Or, if you mean layer your
background papers - yes you can do that too. (Here is my online
scrapbook pages, all of which were done in PSE 4 or 5:
http://www.scrappersguide.com/forums/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=413)
You can select by color (using the magic wand tool) and you can replace
color, but it may not work exactly as you expect. (I also don't know
what spriting is.) But, many people just use a hue/saturation adjustment
layer to change colors.

  • I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos". How can I do that without losing some of the features

    I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos".  How can I do that without losing some of the features of those two?   I just want to add a feature.  Thanks

    Settings>Store (or iTunes & App Stores if you are running iOS6)>Apple ID. Tap your son's ID and sign out. Sign in with your ID and password.
    You shouldn't lose the music, but if you try to update any apps that you bought with the family ID, you will have to use that password that is linked with that ID in order to update.
    Avoid downloading past purchased content with the old ID if you can since you will associate the iPad with the old ID for 90 days and you will lock yourself out of your own, new ID for that period of time. Read more about associated devices in iTunes here.

  • When I installed the newest update it said some of the features were incompatible with this version of Firfox yet when Firfox starts it says I have the newest version.

    I got a new update. I installed it and it said that some of the features were not installed because they incompatible with this version of Fire. I figured "Okay" and continued. When Firefox opened it said I have the "Newest" version. Great, then how come some of the features are not compatible with the "Newest" version. That makes no sense!

    It is possible that because of changes made to firefox, some other software used with Firefox may no longer be compatibile (for example some toolbars) or it is possible the software may work with Firefox, but the software does not recognise the version of Firefox.
    First of all check the add-ons are up-to-date. Downloading, installing and using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Compatibility Add-on] may help to allow such Add-ons to be run for testing, and hopefully some may actually work.

    If you are having problems, please state the full name and the version number of any add-on or plugin software that is causing a problem.

  • It seems like some of the features that I want to use are not available  in MUSE like in browser editing?

    I decide to use Business Catalyst for hosting because it came with my CC membership, However it seems that some of the main things I wanted to do might not be available or can only be used for additional membership fees.  I wish that this was more clear beforehand!  I am happy with the built in things but I am a little disappointed in finding out some of the features that I wanted to use, such as in browser editing might not even be available at all as long as I use MUSE.  Managing customers using secure zones, and some other page level sign in forms seem to be not available also
    Is this correct, if so what other limits can I expect?

    People do fumble their way through going into the BC developer code editor online to do layouts etc and then to Muse and back but Muse only covers basic modules and templates. Not all the tag's, layouts, tag features and the guts of what being a web developer/designer is.
    So you can go so far, but then you will hit a wall like everyone does with Muse.
    Muse is not designed to do everything out there to make a site, it Cant, those sorts of tools from frontpage to Muse can only take you so far.
    I can not just go build a house with the tools from the big depot. They may all do the job, but I do not have the knowledge or the plans to do so.

    I have a quick question about setup_MITE in the PCI-MIO-16E-1.

    Until a better explanation comes along, I've added this info to the BG:
    Don't worry if some of the letters show up as white squares or as other symbols. It's probably just the console font missing those glyphs. The glyph codes are correct and if you press the correct keys they will show up fine when (or if) you set up a graphical environment later.

  • I downloaded firefox 5 and have problems with some of the features i had with firefox 4 with my webroot. how do i get rid of firefox 5 and go back to firefox 4?

    i want to get firefox 4 back on my system. i do not like firefox 5 as it will not allow certain functions with my webroot that i used with version 4

    McAfee have taken the decision to rewrite the Firefox SiteAdvisor plugin to make it easier to update. This should ensure that Mozilla's fast-release schedule does not cause lengthy delays after future version updates. What it means for Firefox now though is that until the rewrite is complete - and tested - SiteAdvisor is being prevented from loading in Firefox in order to avoid the possibility of software incompatibility.
    The SA rewrite is projected to take a few weeks to complete and test; it should be ready by about the third week of July, although the exact date is not being given at this stage. It could be earlier.
    In the meantime, users who are concerned about the safety of websites may wish to consider WOT as a temporary substitute. WOT ratings are set by user consensus rather than by automated site testing, so WOT is not a full replacement for SiteAdvisor. It is, however, a good rating tool in its own right (I use both it and SiteAdvisor in all my browsers) and is apparently unaffected by the upgrade to FF5.
    There is a discussion about this on the McAfee forums [https://community.mcafee.com/thread/36733?tstart=0 HERE]

  • [EWS][FastTransfer][MS-OXCFXICS] Question about paging in the Fast Transfer Stream after exporting message and the meaning of the config in the previous section of the stream.

    Hi, all.
    First, I want to construct a fast transfer stream by programming not using the export item's stream and to import the stream to the folder by posting import request in EWS.
    So, I export the item by EWS and investigate the exporting stream's struct by reading the [MS-OXCFXICS].pdf. And I can parse each MAPI property, marker, meta-property from the stream.
    I find that the stream is made of many pages, most page's length is 0x7BC0, some are less then 0x7BC0. And in the previous section of the stream, there are some configurations. So the questions are:
    1. What is the paging rule? or What is the principle of the paging? Whether a complete propvalue/marker(ref from [MS-OXCFXICS].pdf) must be contained in a page except some binary type?
    2. Why the page's binary length is 0x7BC0? Or where is the configuation about paging length?
    3. The stream is made of the FXOpcodes and the subbuffer about the FXOpcodes, and I find the mean of the FXOpcodes:
    internal enum FxOpcodes
    None = 0,
    Config = 1,
    TransferBuffer = 2,
    IsInterfaceOk = 3,
    TellPartnerVersion = 4,
    StartMdbEventsImport = 11,
    FinishMdbEventsImport = 12,
    AddMdbEvents = 13,
    SetWatermarks = 14,
    SetReceiveFolder = 15,
    SetPerUser = 0x10,
    SetProps = 0x11
    and in the stream there are 4 part(after I parse the stream):
    A. OpCode:Config, value:0000000001000000
    B. OpCode:IsInterfaceOk, value:010000000703020000000000C00000000000004600240080
    C. OpCode:TellPartnerVersion, value:000F91838417
    D and follows is: OpCode:TransferBuffer, Count:31680
    So 
    a. What is the OpCode:Config value meaning?
    b. Some parts of The OpCode:IsInterfaceOk' value is the IID_IMessage("00020307-0000-0000-C000-000000000046"), What is other parts meaning?
    Thanks in advance for any ideas.

    Hi Haiyang,
    Your questions are not covered by the Open Specification documentation and this is documented in [MS-OXWSBTRF] — v20141018 section “1.3 Overview”.
    The upload and export data stream is an opaque format that only needs to be understood by a server implementation. The client only serves as a repository for the opaque data stream so that it can be uploaded to the server at
    a later time.
    You made good progress in interpreting the buffer using other documents. Why do you need to be able to parse the data? Please describe your project in details and I might submit a suggestion to document the layout of the data stream,
    if your project justifies it. You can send the description directly to me.
    Thanks, Vilmos

    OK. Thank you.
    Today I build a stream with a paging rule as below:
    1. Keep each page's byte length is 31680.
    2. Make sure a complete property value in a page except binary type property whose value length is larger
    than 31680.
    And it can work very well when import the stream to the folder by EWS.

  • Question about shutting down the middle tier while leaving the DB up

    Hi,
    We just successfully upgraded 11.5.10.2 from running on 9.2.0.8 SOLARIS SPARC 32-bit to 11.2.0.1 SOLARIS SPARC 64-bit.
    I am in the process of rewriting the backup scripts. We used to do a once-a-week backup (zip) of the middle tier directories,
    after shutting down EVERYTHING cold (MT first, then DB listener, the DB). Our DB consultant likes hot-only backups of the
    DB so we are going to keep the DB running all the time and always do hot backups from the DB, but keep MT cold backup.
    We want to keep our MT cold backup so we retain our downtime window that users expect (Saturday night - Sun morning).
    So my question is ---- is there any issue with shutting down the entire MT- only (adstpall.sh) -- but leaving the DB up?
    When I do a adstrtal (via my script) the next morning--- everything should just start fine with no DB bonce having been done, right?
    In the past, once I have the MT down, wait 5 min, kill any stray FND processes, I usually go on to bounce the database
    "for good measure". I am 99% sure that I don't have to do this... and that there is no harm in "not" doing this, just need
    some confirmation.
    MH
    One more piece of information - Our concurrent managers shut down cleanly almost all of the time without putting jobs on hold.
    We don't have many users (< 60) and while we do have autoinvoice that runs every 5 min, I haven't had to do a big bounce
    with cmclean.sql very often-- only about once or twice a year when users lock each others tables and the cleanest fix is to bounce
    everything --very rarely.

  • Question about repeating in the process chain

    Hello Gurus,
            my DTP is set as "valid records update, no reporting (request red)", and put into a process chain. the process chain goes wrong on this DTP due to some erroneous records.  my questions are:
       (1) based on DTP configuration, all the records are transferred to target successfully except for those erroneous records. is that right?
       (2) after I correct those erroneous records in PSA, I repeat this DTP process in the process chain.  what exact data are transferred by this repeating operation on this DTP?  do we need to take care of all the previously loaded data for this subsequent repeat loading ?
    Many thanks.

    Hi ,
    Please refer my article for your answer, also this has lots of good DTP features.
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10339304-7ce5-2c10-f692-fbcd25915c36?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
    (1) based on DTP configuration, all the records are transferred to target successfully except for those erroneous records. is that right?
    Yes. All the erroneous records go in the error stack and then you can fix the errorneous records there and execute the error DTP.This setting ensures, incorrect/incomplete data is not available for reporting.
    (2) after I correct those erroneous records in PSA, I repeat this DTP process in the process chain. what exact data are transferred by this repeating operation on this DTP? do we need to take care of all the previously loaded data for this subsequent repeat loading ?
    No records are transferred on repeating teh job. We need to manually set the status of request to Green.Yes we need to take care of all the subsequent steps.

  • General questions about subscriptions in the context of application exports

    Hello,
    I have two sample applications (Apex 4.0.2), a "master" one and a "subscribed" one, which has a page template subscribed to a page template in the master app.
    Looking at their export files, I see:
    - Master app:
    -- This is the master template
    wwv_flow_api.create_template(
      p_id=> 32173830131265449 + wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset,
      p_flow_id=> wwv_flow.g_flow_id,
      p_name=> 'Two Level Tabs - Right Sidebar (optional / table-based)',- Subscribed app
    -- This is the subscribed template
    wwv_flow_api.create_template(
      p_id=> 19843209078190645 + wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset,
      p_flow_id=> wwv_flow.g_flow_id,
      p_name=> 'Two Level Tabs - Right Sidebar (optional / table-based)',
      p_reference_id=> 32173830131265449,
      p_translate_this_template => 'N',
      p_template_comment => '');
    end;A couple questions to help me understand how things work behind the scenes:
    - Just out of interest, in the subscribed app export shouldn't it be p_reference_id=> 32173830131265449 + wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset to keep things in sync?
    - If I export both applications from my workspace, delete them and re-import them (first the master, then the subscribed) the subscription remains valid. On the other hand, if I import them into apex.oracle.com, the subscription is lost. Is this the way it should be? Is there a way to keep the subscription?
    Thanks
