Adding highlights

so i have a scene with a 3D character I rendered, which i'm compositing over live action footage.
there should be a brighter rim light behind the character, which i tried to add with a Light Sweep (edge) effect.
the problem is that the edges are blurred (via track matte) to blend it with the footage, but this blur dulls the rim light.
anyway for me to get around this?
I was thinking of tracking the character and adding another layer with a mask for that one area, but wanted to know if there was a better way.
as always thanks!

This perhaps http://forums.adobe.com/thread/749933?tstart=0 or this http://forums.adobe.com/thread/751540?tstart=0 ? Also, obviously you could/ could have render(ed) the rim light as a separate pass in your 3d app and thne overlay it separately on top of everything else...

Imported PowerPoint slides, added highlights, but not showing in publishing

Hi...I'm a little confused. I imported a 15 slide powerpoint
file into Captivate and added audio, a few highlights and several animated buttons. I published 1 version and the animation showed up, but when I recreated another project, I get none of the animation showing up in the preview. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Can you elaborate more about how did you re-create the project?
I wanted to know whether you created a similar project from the beginning (New Blank Project) or copy/pasted the slides from one project to the other.
It would be helpful, if you explain the steps you followed while re-creating the project.
Thanks,
Vikranth.

I am trying to make a demo of search where user enters some key words and i wanna highlight all the words in the page.
Is it possible ?
Hopeing for a favourable response.

You might be able to use a Highlighter. Here is some code I copied from another thread that gives you an idea how to use a Highlighter.

Adding highlight arrows

I need to add an arrow to my son's movie that point him out as he's playing lacrosse with 30 other people on the field. CAn't seem to figure out how to do it.

I used the text caption option under insert and the screen shot is where they were inserted - I've had two timelines for objects since I started editing this video. How do you create an additional timeline so text captions will not run into the other objects I mentioned?

Can't save files or highlight with Reader 11.7.1 & Kitkat 4.4.2 Lenovo A7 30

Hi I have installed Adobe Reader 11.7.1 The highlight feature in not working. After highlighting the text and coming out of the application the highlighted portion is not gettig saved Pls advise.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Android Kitkat has imposed some restrictions on accessing files on external SD card by third party apps and therefore, Adobe Reader is unable to edit the files on the external SD card. In such cases, Adobe Reader gives the users a message when adding highlights to the document asking them to either save a copy on the internal storage or view the file as read-only. Could you please attach a small video of the whole scenario- from the time you open the file, add highlights and then close the file?
Also, could you try and move the file or make a copy of the file to your internal storage and then try to add highlights to it? Do you still observe the same issue?
Awaiting your response.
Thanks,
Adobe Reader Team

BACKGROUND COLOUR AND HIGHLIGHT TEXT ISSUE

Hi, Just registered and I'm keen to ask you a pressing question. Setting background color different from white and adding highlight text causes the two colors to blend together i.e. the highlight color is not as vivid as applied over a white background or for instance as in a MS Word document. I'm expecting and appreciating your opinion.

Of course. Mix two colors and a new, different color comes to be.
Two primaries will yield a secondary (yellow + red = orange).
Optics, not the software application eh.
Try using a different highlight color with the designated background color.
Try using different opacity values for the highlight color.
Try using different opacity values for the background color.
Review the theory and practice associated with the color wheel to identify the most harmonious (for you) colors.
Be well...

Need help with publishing -- highlight boxes and recordings

I'm having a problem with publishing a presentation. I've recorded audio for PP slides and added highlight boxes. I've tested these in Edit mode - the recordings work fine and the highlight boxes appear correctly as per their settings. When I go to publish, some of the recordings and highlight boxes are not working on some of the slides (but work fine on other slides). Obviously I've missed some setting on these but I cannot figure out what and where. Could anyone please help??

Just kidding. Now, the files seem to be uploaded and in the right folder; however, now the page just isn't loading. See what I mean, everything going wrong?!

How do I delete duplicates

How do I delete duplicate songs from my playlist?

Hey meant2opr8,
Thanks for the question. We have a great resource that will help you easily resolve the duplicate items in your iTunes library:
How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2905
1. Choose View > Show Duplicate Items to show duplicate items (matches are based on the song name and artist). If you have multiple versions of the same song (for example, live and studio versions, or versions from different albums) you can hold the Alt or Option key (for Mac OS X) or the Shift key (for Windows) and choose View > Show Exact Duplicate Items. This will show only duplicate songs having the same name, artist, and album.
2. Duplicate items will be sorted next to one another. Review each item to determine which one you'd like to remove from your library. You can compare the track length, date added, genre, play count, size, bit rate, and more to help you determine which item you'd like to keep and which item you'd like to remove.
3. To delete an item, click the item to select it. Then remove the duplicate item by choosing Edit > Delete.
4. When you are finished removing duplicate items from your library, click Show All Items at the bottom of the iTunes window.
If the duplicate items were all added at the same time, you can use these handy steps to quickly delete them:
- Sort the duplicate list by Date Added
- Highlight all duplicates
- Delete the highlighted items all at once.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Can I create my own attributes in iDS?

I know to store my photo I can use the jpegPhoto attribute, but what about if I want to store other binary objects like maybe my fingerprints, can I create my own attributes for it, and how?
Or I can't do that?

You can use Directory Server Console to create new attributes. After adding new attributes to your schema, you must create a new object class to contain them.
Creating object class:
1.Click Create on the Object Classes tab.
2.Enter a unique name for the object class in the Name text box.
3.Enter an object identifier for the new object class in the OID (Optional) text box.
4.Select a parent object for the object class from the Parent drop-down menu.
5.To add an attribute that must be present in entries that use the new object class,highlight the attribute in the Available Attributes list and then click the Add
button to the left of the Required Attributes box.
6.To add an attribute that may be present in entries that use the new object class,highlight the attribute in the Available Attributes list and then click the Add
button to the left of the Allowed Attributes box.
7.To remove an attribute that you previously added, highlight the attribute in the Required Attributes list or the Allowed Attributes list and then click the
corresponding Remove button.You cannot remove either allowed or required attributes that are inherited
from the parent object classes.
8.Click to OK.
To create a new attribute:
1. Display the Attributes tab.
2. Click Create.
The Create Attribute dialog box is displayed.
3. Enter a unique name for the attribute in the Attribute Name text box.
4. Enter an object identifier for the attribute in the Attribute OID (Optional) text box.
5. Select a syntax that describes the data to be held by the attribute from the Syntax drop-down menu.
6. If you want the attribute to be multi-valued,select the Multi-Valued checkbox.The Directory Server allows more than one instance of a multi-valued attribute
per entry.
7.Click OK
This is repersenting binary data.
You can represent binary data, such as a JPEG image, in LDIF using one of the following methods:
The standard LDIF notation, the lesser than (<) symbol. For example:
jpegphoto: < file:/path/to/photo
If you use this standard notation, you do not need to specify the ldapmodify -b parameter. However, you must add the following line to the beginning of your LDIF file, or your LDIF update statements:
version:1
For example, you could use the following ldapmodify command:
prompt% ldapmodify -D userDN -w user_passwd
version: 1
dn: cn=Barney Fife,ou=People,dc=siroe,dc=comchangetype: modify
add: userCertificate
userCertificate;binary:< file: BarneysCert
Using base 64 encoding. You identify base 64 encoded data by using the ::
symbol. For example:
jpegPhoto:: encoded_data
In addition to binary data, other values that must be base 64-encoded include:
Any value that begins with a semicolon (;) or a space
Any value that contains non-ASCII data, including new lines Use the ldif command-line utility with the -b parameter to convert binary data to LDIF format:
ldif -b attribute_name
where attribute_name is the name of the attribute to which you are supplying the binary data. The binary data is read from standard input and the results are written to standard output. Thus, you should use redirection operators to select input and output files.
The ldif command-line utility will take any input and format it with the correct line continuation and appropriate attribute information. The ldif utility also assesses whether the input requires base 64 encoding. For example:
ldif -b jpegPhoto < mark.jpg > out.ldif
This example takes a binary file containing a JPEG-formatted image and converts it into LDIF format for the attribute named jpegPhoto. The output is saved to
out.ldif.
The -b option specifies that the ldif utility should interpret the entire input as a single binary value. If -b is not present, each line is considered to be a separate input value.

What to teach for architecture, product and portrait imaging?

Hi All,
knowing how to work in photoshop is one thing, but passing knowledge on to others is another. I recently enrolled in a school for graphic arts, and totally unplanned I have to jump in for a colleague that is no longer available.
I have to teach advanced courses for the above disciplines, and I am preparing those now.
I am a bit stuck when it comes to what topics I should teach for each of those... apart from the obvious of course.
here is what I already have:
for architecture: perspective correction, set vertical walls straight), color/tone corrections, changing the sky, removing disturbing reflections, removing poles and telephone lines, adding people, grass, trees
for product photography: joining 2 studio images with different exposures/reflections, color/tone corrections, straightening crooked lines (e.g. tooth paste with a dent), removing blemishes, adding highlights, removing overexposed parts, adding or exchanging a label, removing studio props (nylon wires to make something float etc)
for portrait: softening skin, correcting skin tones, sharpening eye lashes/eye brows, whitening teeth and eyes, remoulding nose and cheek lines, removing wrinkles, make lips fuller
I have the odd feeling I am forgetting at least half a dozen useful corrections for each of the themes... I have been doing the above corrections for years, it happens all automatically without thinking, but now I have to write down what I do and I have some kind of writers block ;-)
so if any of you can add useful things to my list, I would feel a lot comfortable (or just confirm that the list is about complete;-)
thanks a million
Vimito

For architecture, Shadows/Highlights

Adjustment Brush: Flow and Feather

Not so much a question, as an observation. Maybe it will help somebody.
I'm not a big user of the Adjustment Brush. I tend to use it occasionally for applying Clarity, Highlight Recovery, or applying/removing Sharpening.
I'd never much paid attention to the Flow and Density settings before today, and I certainly never really understood the Flow setting. The Feather setting never seemed to work as expected too. So, I just spent 10 minutes with a 50% grey image and a -2-stop brush, getting to the bottom of it all.
Density is the easiest setting to understand: it's like a percentage limit on effect opacity. So 100 means that your brush can deliver 100% of your chosen settings.
Flow was a little tricker to fathom. I expected Flow to control how fast the "paint" comes off the brush. But, no matter how slowly I move the brush, it doesn't come out any thicker. Maybe Flow is the wrong word. I worked out that you had to paint the same spot several times with a low Flow setting to get full Density. It's like Single Pass Density.
Feather is where I came unstuck. Setting any more than 0 give you a two-circle brush cursor. To me, this suggests that the inner circle is solid, the outer circle is clear, and inbetween is a gradient curve. In reality, the brush paints well outside the outer circle (increasing with Feather amount), and isn't solid at the inner circle either. This explains why I've always gone over the edge with a feathered brush, and why it always looks bloody awful when painting an exposure adjustment. Thank goodness the guys added Highlights to the brush settings.

Rob Cole wrote:
To be clear (and I think this is what you were saying too): Flow controls amount of paint per unit of time, regardless of brush movement speed..., for example:
flow = 100 -> you'll get full amount of paint instantly, that amount determined by density.
flow = 0 -> there will be zero paint coming out, so not a useful setting.
flow = 50 -> somewhere in between...
No, that's just it: it's not what I was saying. It is what I expected, but not what I found. Time has nothing to do with it. You can take as long as you like, and no more paint comes off the brush. That was the point I was making, and why I said I thought that "flow" was the wrong word. To me, flow is time-related (volume per second).
'Flow' seems to work by rationing the amount of paint in each stroke. It is only built up by extra strokes.

Captivate 4 not going to designated slide

I have a prject that I created in Captivate 4 which has about 365 slides in it.
When I want to see the output during testing I can either publish it or press F12 to see what it looks like in a browser.
Either method gives me the same result a lot of time.
First the screen stays blank for a long time but when it finally loads, it's not on the slide it should be, usually the next slide.
Not sure what other info I can give you to help.
There is no Audio tracks, no naration
All slides are just shots I created and merged into the background and then added "Highlight Box"es and "Click Box"es to show where to click etc.
Please let me know if anyone can help.

I tried Daisy chaining in CP4 and this is what I got, notice the "f" that magically appeared in the project name.
The actual project I selected was d:\webmacaid\ATV2\ATV2MOV.htm.
This is a capture of the error when trying to open the project.
I've also tried selecting the actual .SWF file in CP which didn't seem to work but does seem to work in the CP5 trial.
I hate to have to upgrade just for that.
Is there a limit on the number of projects I can Daisy Chain?

Modifying the Mini TOC Placeholder

I am on a mission to change the way the Mini TOC looks on our WebHelp pages. Maybe somebody out there has done this, or can help us understand the CSS classes better so we can attack the problem ourselves.
First, we want the TOC to be inside a bordered box. Piece of cake. Peter Grainge's suggestion to throw it into a table cell works perfectly.
Then, we want a graphic to the left of the caption. It won't be a white box with an X in it, but below shows the rough location. I've kinda sorta done this by adding a column to the left of the one that holds the MiniTOC, but the alignment isn't pretty, and it causes a conflict with our next goal.
The next goal is to have a two-tone Mini TOC, as in the example below.
Finally, we want to push the word "Show" or "Hide" flush right against the right margin of the cell while keeping the caption (in this case, "QuickLinks") to the left. I have been successful with adding a bunch of spaces after the caption, followed by the words "Click to" but it's not clean, and would require me to change the number of spaces manually on each page, depending on how long the links are.
Has anybody hacked into their Mini TOC before to manipulate it similar to what we are looking for? We're having a rough time even editing the CSS styles to work the way we want, and are hoping there's a simpler way to attack the problem. Thanks.

Don Quixote, is that you?
Seriously...RH has this placeholder function locked in pretty tight (I tried adding an image inside the code and RH crashed!).
We use a div element to place the placeholder at the top right of the topic:
div#navright {
float: right;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-right: 8px;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
width: auto;
margin-left: 15px;
margin-bottom: 15px;
margin-top: 5px;
Then the topic gets this:
<?rh-cbt_start condition="Online" ?><div id="navright">
<?rh-placeholder type="minitoc" ph-style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:8pt;font-weight: normal;font-style: normal;text-decoration: none;"
list-type="none" caption="In This Topic" caption-style="font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;font-weight: normal;font-style: normal;text-decoration: none;"
margin=";;0px;0px" min-heading-level="h2" max-heading-level="h2" flags="3" ?>
</div><?rh-cbt_end ?>
You could try adding background-color and border-color styles to the div, and then adding highlighting to the placeholder caption in the UI (this might get you the two-tone you want, not sure). As to the image and right-aligned link, you and Sancho might have better luck at the next windmill.
Good luck,

Transfer epub files

Hello,
I have been working with PDF files highlighting and adding notes to them on my mac and then transfering them to my ipad.
Then on my iPad I use Goodreader to view and or do more highlights or annotations.
A friend of mine told me that ePub files are easier to work with than PDF
So I downloaded the epub file on my mac and open it with Adobe Digitals Editions; but then after I do the highlight and annotations, there is no way to transfer the file to my iPad either to Goodreader or iBooks.
What can I use to Download epub, do highlight and annotate and then transfer epub file to ipad?
Please help.

In your first sentence, you stated that you were able to download an epub document. Then you opened it in Adobe Digital Editions added highlighting and annotations. Both these actions were on your Mac (not iPad). The first part of the second sentence is a question that begins with asking what to use to do what you have already done, i.e., what application to use to download an epub document and what application to edit an epub document). The last part of the question asks how to transfer the edited epub document to the iPad. This is what my response on July 21, 2013 addresses.
If working on the iPad is teddious, then don't.
