Activate or deactivate a mask in a psd

hello! sorry for my english :S
indesign can enable or disable a layer mask from a psd? withoutcreating two similar layers, one with a mask and one without a mask, to show the masked area outside the image.
for example:
Final result: two overlapping images and one with the active layer mask
Option A: I could turn on or off the mask from Quark
Option B: is the only way I found to do it in Indesign. But it seems ridiculousthat Quark can be activated from the mask and not Indesign
If then I have to tweak the image in Photoshop I have to return toduplicate and apply the mask on the top layer.
Is there any way to expedite this in Indesign?
thank you very much!

thank you very much! creating the alpha channel works perfectly.
I was so in Quark 8 with layer masks because it does leave show or hide.
so to do the same in ID had to create two layers and one with the layer mask active as in the pictures above.Thanks to you I do it for alpha channel. I find it faster as Quark does, I'll have to get used to as does ID
Left an example of how quark does.

How to activate and deactivate the text fields in subscreens

Hi All,
I have one requirement to activate and deactivate the fields in Sub screen.
The requirement is initially the all screen fields are output field with some value .Suppose user want to edit the value, they choose the check box then automatically the sub screen fields are changed to input modeu2026

How to activate or deactivate a user-exit based a specific condition

hi all,
i want to activate or deactivate(make it trigger) a particular user-exit based in a condition.
can i do that. if yes please tell me how.
can we use COMMIT in user-exits or BADI's.
Thanks & Regards,
Saroja.

Hello Saroja
The solution provided by Rich should be used for testing purposes only in the the reverted sense:
IF ( syst-uname ne '<specific user>' ).
RETURN.
ENDIF.
" Execute user-exit for specific user
However, for serious programming you should use a a better strategy. In principle, user-exits are either ON or OFF and, if they are ON, they are ON for all user which is usually not intended.
The following example shows a (possible) strategy how to execute user-exits based on specific conditions.
The SAP extension CATS0001 contains the component EXIT_SAPLCATS_001 with the following interface:
FUNCTION EXIT_SAPLCATS_001.
*"*"Lokale Schnittstelle:
*" IMPORTING
*" VALUE(SAP_TCATS) LIKE TCATS STRUCTURE TCATS
*" VALUE(SAP_PERNR) LIKE CATSFIELDS-PERNR
*" VALUE(SAP_DATELEFT) LIKE CATSFIELDS-DATELEFT
*" VALUE(SAP_DATERIGHT) LIKE CATSFIELDS-DATERIGHT
*" VALUE(SAP_DATEFROM) LIKE CATSFIELDS-DATEFROM OPTIONAL
*" VALUE(SAP_DATETO) LIKE CATSFIELDS-DATETO OPTIONAL
*" TABLES
*" SAP_ICATSW STRUCTURE CATSW
*" SAP_ICATSW_FIX STRUCTURE CATSW OPTIONAL
INCLUDE ZXCATU01.
ENDFUNCTION.
The include ZXCATU01 contains only the following coding:
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_EXIT_SAPLCATS_001'
 EXPORTING
 sap_tcats = sap_tcats
 sap_pernr = sap_pernr
 sap_dateleft = sap_dateleft
 sap_dateright = sap_dateright
 SAP_DATEFROM = SAP_DATEFROM
 SAP_DATETO = SAP_DATETO
 tables
 sap_icatsw = sap_icatsw
 SAP_ICATSW_FIX = SAP_ICATSW_FIX.
This function module is just a copy of the exit function module in the customer namespace.
Let us assume that your condition at which the user-exit should be executed is that the employee (SAP_PERNR) belongs to a specific controlling area. Thus, we make another copy of the original exit function module and call this fm within the "general" customer-specific exit function module:
FUNCTION z_exit_saplcats_001.
*"*"Local Interface:
*" IMPORTING
*" VALUE(SAP_TCATS) LIKE TCATS STRUCTURE TCATS
*" VALUE(SAP_PERNR) LIKE CATSFIELDS-PERNR
*" VALUE(SAP_DATELEFT) LIKE CATSFIELDS-DATELEFT
*" VALUE(SAP_DATERIGHT) LIKE CATSFIELDS-DATERIGHT
*" VALUE(SAP_DATEFROM) LIKE CATSFIELDS-DATEFROM OPTIONAL
*" VALUE(SAP_DATETO) LIKE CATSFIELDS-DATETO OPTIONAL
*" TABLES
*" SAP_ICATSW STRUCTURE CATSW
*" SAP_ICATSW_FIX STRUCTURE CATSW OPTIONAL
" User-Exit specific for employees (SAP_PERNR)
" belonging to controlling area 1000
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_EXIT_SAPLCATS_001_1000'
 EXPORTING
 sap_tcats = sap_tcats
 sap_pernr = sap_pernr
 sap_dateleft = sap_dateleft
 sap_dateright = sap_dateright
 sap_datefrom = sap_datefrom
 sap_dateto = sap_dateto
 TABLES
 sap_icatsw = sap_icatsw
 sap_icatsw_fix = sap_icatsw_fix.
" User-Exit specific for employees (SAP_PERNR)
" belonging to controlling area 2000
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_EXIT_SAPLCATS_001_2000'
 EXPORTING
 sap_tcats = sap_tcats
 sap_pernr = sap_pernr
 sap_dateleft = sap_dateleft
 sap_dateright = sap_dateright
 sap_datefrom = sap_datefrom
 sap_dateto = sap_dateto
 TABLES
 sap_icatsw = sap_icatsw
 sap_icatsw_fix = sap_icatsw_fix.
ENDFUNCTION.
Finally, within the specific exit function module we define the condition when the exit should be executed:
FUNCTION z_exit_saplcats_001_1000.
*"*"Local Interface:
*" IMPORTING
*" VALUE(SAP_TCATS) LIKE TCATS STRUCTURE TCATS
*" VALUE(SAP_PERNR) LIKE CATSFIELDS-PERNR
*" VALUE(SAP_DATELEFT) LIKE CATSFIELDS-DATELEFT
*" VALUE(SAP_DATERIGHT) LIKE CATSFIELDS-DATERIGHT
*" VALUE(SAP_DATEFROM) LIKE CATSFIELDS-DATEFROM OPTIONAL
*" VALUE(SAP_DATETO) LIKE CATSFIELDS-DATETO OPTIONAL
*" TABLES
*" SAP_ICATSW STRUCTURE CATSW
*" SAP_ICATSW_FIX STRUCTURE CATSW OPTIONAL
IF ( <user BELONGS to CONTROLLING area 1000> ).
 " execute user-exit
ELSE.
 RETURN.
ENDIF.
ENDFUNCTION.
The alternative would be to place the entire coding including the conditions in the include ZXCATU01. However, in this case you can test the user exit only in the context of the transaction in which the user-exit is passed.
Using the strategy I have devised you are able to test the user-exit in general and the specific user-exits independent of the transaction. For example, if you are already working on 6.40 or higher then you could use ABAP Unit Testing for this purpose.
The same logic can be applied for BAdI where we can have only a single active implementation.
Finally, I hope to convince that it makes sense to spend some time into a reasonable strategy for implementing user-exits.

Uwe

Unable to activate or deactivate the Correlation policy

After creating a correlation policy with complex conditions, I am unable to activate or deactivate the policy.

Reason
This issue occurs when a complex condition is created, and one of the sub conditions is deleted. In the case below, the correlation rule is missing a sub condition that would have been used together with the Rule Message condition, but it has been deleted. The following screenshot shows a similar situation.
Workaround
The workaround of this issue is to delete the "indented" broken complex condition, and adding it back to the rule as a regular condition.

How to activate or deactivate screen painters element through program?

i am using module pool programming ,
i want to activate or deactivate the screen painters elements through programming how i can do it?

Hi,
You can perform active and deactive the fileds in the selection screen using AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT event. Loop the screen table and modify the content of a screen field inside the loop based on requirements.
Check this code.
selection-screen begin of block b1 with frame.
parameters: p_g1 radiobutton group gp1 default 'X' user-command chk,
p_g2 radiobutton group gp1.
selection-screen end of block b1.
selection-screen begin of block b2 with frame.
parameters: p_gltrp type afko-gltrp modif id g1.
parameters: p_werks type aufk-werks modif id g1.
parameters: p_datum type afko-gltrp modif id g2.
parameters: p_uzeit type aufk-werks modif id g2.
selection-screen end of block b2.
at selection-screen output.
loop at screen.
if p_g1 = 'X' and screen-group1 = 'G2'.
screen-active = 0.
modify screen.
endif.
if p_g2 = 'X' and screen-group1 = 'G1'.
screen-active = 0.
modify screen.
endif.

IOS Home Button and Event.ACTIVATE/Event.DEACTIVATE

Hi all,
I read tons of questions re iOS Home Button and Event.ACTIVATE/Event.DEACTIVATE. Everything should work well if you set the proper listeners and save/restore your app state upon receiveing these events.
My question is: Is there a way to tell difference between a Home Button press and an iOS notification alert or incomming call? In both cases, AIR will dispatch Event.DEACTIVATE, however I want to know if the user pressed the Home Button or if he just received an SMS/Calendar alert, and adapt my app state accordingly - i.e. if it's a Home Button press, change my app state to "Main Menu", otherwise (SMS/Calendar/alert) I will pause execution.
NOTE: I don't want to override the Home Button behaviour, just want to tell if it's a Home Button press or SMS/Calendar/alert, and react accordingly. The iOS documentation states that in case of SMS/Calendar/alerts, (void)applicationWillResignActive:(UIApplication *)application is dispatched, and in case of actually going to background state (i.e. Home Button pressed) (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application is dispatched.
Thanks

Any luck with this yet? I'm having the exact same issues but on a different device, the Kindle Fire.
I need to determine whether a user hit the Home button, or hit the Quick Settings button (that accesses controls like volume). Air treats both events equally by broadcasting Event.DEACTIVATE. Unfortunately, the Amazon Appstore approval team thinks otherwise...
It seems like there should be a simple, no-brainer way to track these events, but I'm beginning to suspect Air just is not capable. In that case, if you're developing for Kindle Fire, you may want to avoid going with Adobe.

Activate or deactivate a condition based on Input Variable - Bex

Hi,
Is it possible to Activate/De activate a conditiion based on an Input Variable in Bex Analyzer? If yes, can some one let me know how this could be done

Hi... Is there any other round about way other than using a User exit????
Basically this is what I am looking for
Quest to User: Y/N
if "Y" then Activate the condition and suppress the records based on the condition

Caller Id not working nothing showing in my settings under phone to activate or deactivate

HOw do I turn on caller I'd if I do not have option in phone settings used to have it not sure what happened

I believe the way Caller ID works on the iPhone is that it will check your contacts for the number calling and then display their contact details. Therefore, you need to make sure you have accurate details for everyone that may call you. If the caller does not want their Caller ID shown, your iPhone will show number as Blocked.
If it's your Caller ID you want to hide or show, to to Settings > Phone > Show My Caller ID > Slide to On

Headset randomly won't activate or deactivate. Can change manually only with media player or during call.

Recently I have had issues where my 8520 thinks my headphones are plugged in when they are not. I can, of course, manually change this but that only works when I'm making a call or using the stock media player. This method does not help with Mobiola which I use to listen to audio books until blackberry createsa bookmark function in their media player (and a way to sort the audiobook files from the music without having to make the folder hidden).
It was only assuming the headphones were plugged in but in the last 2 days it has started ignoring them entirely. I have done multiple resets and used a light to check if there was anything in the jack. My only solution to get Mobiola to output correctly is to change the output in the media player, but once the media player is paused Mobiola goes back to whatever it seems to think is right. I noticed this after I had done the most recent update as of about a week ago, that isn't to say that it wasn't doing it before, but I didn't notice it before.

Printer power saving features activates and deactivates at random

I have a C8022A all in one 8500 printer which has a built in Power saving feature that is supposed to put the print6er in sleep mode after sevaral minutes of non use and turn on printer when a new print job is sent to it.Duringg the first 4-5 months of use it did that - now it seems sometime to go into sleep mode 4 hours after it stopped being used and coming on at random 2-4 hours later for no apparent reason - talked to 2 techs in India with HP chat support but it was useless, and could not get through to live 800 support - tried 5-6 times.!

Richard,
Open Energy Saver preferences. While there, unplug the power connector from the MBP? Does the display dim a little bit? If not, toggle the Optimization to one of the other settings then back to Normal like you want. Did the display dim? Now plug the power back in. Did it work as expected?
As for the keyboard, if you want it to remain off in low light conditions, uncheck the Illuminuate keyboard in low light conditions option. You could look at the keyboard brightness keys as setting a max brightness. The keyboard brightness will still fluctuate based on the light level in the room but will only get as bright as the setting you put in.
Did I make that clear as mud?

Add Tracking Mask to PSD or .PNG Layer in AE CC

Guys, I'm pulling my hair out. Anyway you could give me a quick tip on how to apply a tracking mask to a PSD or .PNG layered on top of a movie file in AE CC? Man i'm going crazy trying to figure this out. Thank you very much in advance.
I see here: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-after-effects-cc/rigid-mask-tracker-in-afte... how to apply tracking mask to an adjustment layer, but the .PSD layer or .PNG layer mask doesn't offer the "right click > tracking mask" option.
Please, what am I over looking? I have an AE comp with a PSD file or PNG file which has some bricks for a building, and I need the mask to track as the movie ever so slightly moves.
Please help me. Thank you.

Nope, that's not how it's done. It's a little more compolicated than that:
Duplicate the car layer. Put it above the bricks.
Make a mask around the car. Do it just before the car gets in front of the bricks. Be very careful when masking. Click the stopwach icon on the mask path property.
Go forward in time until the car is just past the bricks. Double click on the mask path you made earlier: a box forms around it. Drag it back over the car and tweak mask vertices as necessary.
RAM Preview and adjust the mask path as necessary.
There you go.

How To Line Items - activate/deactivate functionality

In the How To paper on "Line Items in BPS", fields such as user & date can be stamped on each delta record. This is done through the characteristic relationships exit function.
To limit which types of activities are tracked at this level, the paper makes reference to the ability to "program a mechanism to activate and deactivate the functionality" in order to only stamp the date (for example) on manual changes, and not on automatic functions or batch activities.
Does anyone have an example of how they've done this? I could code the FM to only execute if the user id is not one of our batch ids, but that wouldn't take care of automatically executing functions that are attached to a layout.
Thanks.

Hello Astine,
quite often you want to track changes for specific data for example accounts only. To accomplish this you can use account as a source field for the derivation and then check the account number in the "line item" exit.
If you want to track only manual changes and not batch processing, then a simple if sy-batch = 'X' will do the trick in your exit.
