Alter background
I understand it is possible to change / alter the background of a digital photo in raw format. for example keep the subject intact and change the background to just white or black. Is this possible in Aperture? If it is how :- )
Sorry. Aperture does not have the capability to draw shapes or masks. That's a Photoshop job.

Networking - Why Doesn't This Work?
Hey all
Just wondering if any of you have any ideas why this code isn't working properly - for the Client to connect the Server has to be restarted. Is there a solution to this problem?
The Client Class:

}Thats it any help would be much appreciated
Cheers.Like the previous poster indicated: try to find a minimal example that shows the error your experiencing.
One thing that seems bogus is the Server.listener() method. For one thing, it can increment x even if no new connection has been established (e.g., x will be incremented if an exception is caught). -
The Brightness Gradient Issue DOES EXIST With The 24" iMacs.
Four years ago I bought a hefty G4 eMac and a few months later the G5 iMac was introduced.
I was impressed and vowed I would get one the following year, but as each new version was introduced I put it off, waiting for an even better model.
I spend most of my time on the FCE forum but regularly visited this one to read about the various problems people were experiencing.
The G5s were prone to overheating, dead or stuck pixels have always been around, and latterly with the aluminium iMacs we have had the gradient issues.
All my life I have gone for the cheapest item that would do the job, but with the introduction of this latest version I decided to get the "best".
I bought it last Wednesday and was duly impressed.
To my relief it appeared to run cool and the screen did not seem to have any of the problems I had read about ........... though I did not examine it minutely.
Suddenly, yesterday (Sunday) I noticed that the "wallpaper" photo on the screen looked distinctly brighter on the left.
I put a uniform grey card on and there was no doubt ! I altered backgrounds and even moved my head to view from numerous (unnatural!) angles but the left side was undoubtedly brighter.
Writing this letter, the difference is very obvious.
What is more I don't need to test the whole monitor. Viewing a photo that is less than half the screen's width shows a brighter left side.
This leaves me with 2 questions which now I can never definitely resolve :-
1. Has the screen been like this for the past 4 days and has my vision suddenly become more discriminating ?
OR
2. Has the screen suddenly deteriorated (and will it continue to deteriorate) ?
I have a nasty feeling it could be number 2 as I had looked at identical pictures in two windows of FCP (side by side), a couple of days ago, and noted that they were of equal brightness! Not so now.
I mainly use FCE/FCP and Photoshop, but being an amateur, I am not too fussy about the exact shade of a colour. So long as what I am watching is bright and sharp, I am usually content.
However, I must say that my current emotion is one of disappointment.
Ian.That's very comforting George.
As you can guess, I was expecting it but thought I had escaped ! -
Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.?
I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not the content, of the target cell(s).Hi Tom,
Your LOOKUP formula will return a value that it finds in the "other" table. That value can be used in conditional highlighting rules. (Numbers 3 calls it conditional highlighting, not conditional formatting. Just to keep us awake, I guess, but it works the same).
Please explain what you are trying to do.
Regards,
Ian. -
Have tried various google searches but to no avail. Can anyone suggest anything?
You mean switch on the Increase Contrast button? I have done that - I was wondering if there is an option to alter the background colour so that it is totally different from the wallpaper colour. ie blue v red, for example
-
I have set the colors for a:active, a:hover, a:link and a:visited for text against white background. How do I add different colors for different nav text against a black background?
Define a separate nav class for each set of menus.
<nav class="light">
This is 1st menu
</nav>
<nav class="dark">
This is 2nd menu
</nav>
CSS:
.light a {background: #FFF; color: #000; text-decoration:none}
.light a:visited {color: #CCC}
.light a:hover,
.light a:active,
.light a:focus {color: #FFC}
.dark a {background: #000; color: #FFF; text-decoration:none}
.dark a:visited {color: #CCC}
.dark a:hover,

Altering Workflow background engine process frequency
Hi All,
I would like to know how to increase/lower the frequency of workflow background engine in OCS. Currently it s set to 60 secs.
Thanks in advance!
HetalWorkflow (Oracle Workflow) background engine's frequency can be changed by updating / creating a new job with the SQL command wf_engine.background() in the Workflow user (owf_mgr) schema.

Adobe Illustrator Logo on Transparent Background-Need Help with Altering Logo
Hello all!
I have a logo that was provided to me in Illustrator, but I need it on a completely transparent background. When I place it on a file, it's mostly transparent, except for the white area in the "A" and two "O"s. Do you know how I can make this 100% transparent? I've attached a screenshot to show you what I'm talking about. Any advice/help you can give would be great! Thanks! (Also, I'm using CS6)Thank you so much Kris!

Alter number of R3trans/background processes after Configuration Phase?
Hi All,
We are in the ACT_UPG stage of an ECC5 to ECC6 upgrade and the phase is mighty slow down to the fact that the default number of R3trans processes etc where not increased in the Configuration Phase (manual selection of parameters).
Are these parameters written to a configuration file that can be edited to increase them?
Regards,
MarkHi,
Now you cannot change these parameters.. You can change these parameters in configuration phase.
Thanks

I'm having some difficulty with transferring images from a UDP Client to a UDP Server. The issue is receiving the bytes necessary to update an original image sent from the Client to the Server and updating the Servers List(Of Byte) with the
new bytes replacing bytes in that list. This is a simplex connection where the Sever receives and the Client sends to utilize the least amount of bandwidth for a "Remote Desktop" style application where the Server side needs image updates of whatever
occurs on the Client desktop.
So far I can tranfer images with no issue. The images can be be any image type (.Bmp, .Gif, .JPeg, .Png, etc). I was working with sending .JPeg's as they appear to be the smallest size image when a Bitmap is saved to a memory stream as type
.JPeg. And then I am using GZip to compress that byte array again so it is much smaller. However on a loopback on my NIC the speed for sending a full size screen capture is not very fast as the Server updates fairly slowly unless the Clients screen capture
Bitmap is reduced in size to about 1/3'd of the original size. Then about 12000 bytes or less are sent for each update.
Due to .JPeg compression I suppose there is no way to get the difference in bytes between two .JPegs and only send those when something occurs on the desktop that alters the desktop screen capture image. Therefore I went to using .Bmp's as each
.Bmp contains the same number of bytes in its array regardless of the image alterations on the desktop. So I suppose the difference in bytes from a second screen capture and an inital screen capture are what is different in the second image from the initial
image.
What I have done so far is save an initial Bitmap of a screen capture using a memory stream and saving as type .Bmp which takes less than 93 milliseconds for 4196406 bytes. Compressing that takes less than 118 milliseconds to 197325 bytes for
the current windows on the desktop. When that is done PictureBox1 is updated from nothing to the captured image as the PictureBox's background image with image layout zoom and the PictureBox sized at 1/2 my screens width and 1/2 my screens height.
Then I save a new Bitmap the same way which now contains different image information as the PictureBox is now displaying an image so its back color is no longer displayed (solid color Aqua) and the cursor has moved to a different location. The
second Bitmap is also 4196406 in bytes and compressed it was 315473 bytes in size.
I also just found code from this link Converting a Bitmap to a Byte Array (and Byte Array to Bitmap) which gets a byte array
directly from a Bitmap and the size of that is 3148800 for whatever is full screen captured on my laptop. So I should be able to work with smaller byte arrays at some point.
The issue I'm having is that once the Client sends an image of the desktop to the Server I only want to update the server with any differences occuring on the Clients desktop. So what I have done is compare the first screen captures bytes (stored
in a List(Of Byte)) to the second screen captures bytes (stored in a List(Of Byte)) by using a For/Next for 0 to 4196405 where if a byte in the first screen captures List is not equal to a byte in the second screen captures List I add the index and byte of
the second screen captures list to a Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte). The Dictionary then only contains the indexes and bytes that are different between the first screen capture and second screen capture. This takes about 125 milliseconds which I think is pretty
fast for 4196406 byte comparison using a For/Next and adding all the different bytes and indexes for each byte to a Dictionary.
The difference in Bytes between the inital screen capture and the second screen capture is 242587 as an example which changes of course. For that amount of bytes the Dictionary contains 242587 integers as indexes and 242587 bytes as different
bytes totaling 485174 bytes for both arrays (keys, values). Compressed the indexes go from 242587 to 43489 bytes and the values go from 242587 to 34982 bytes. Which means I will have to send 78, 481 bytes from the Client to the Server to update the display
on the server. Quite smaller than the original 4196406 bytes of the second Bitmap saved to type .Bmp or the compressed size of that array which was 315473 bytes. Plus a few bytes I add as overhead so the server knows when an image array ends and how many packets
were sent for the array so it can discard complete arrays if necessary since UDP is lossfull although probably not so much in current networks like it may originally have been when the internet started.
In reality the data from the Client to the Server will mostly be the cursor as it moves and updating the Server image with only a few hundred bytes I would imagine at a time. Or when the cursor selects a Button for example and the Buttons
color changes causing those differences in the original screen capture.
But the problem is if I send the Dictionaries Indexes and Bytes to the Server then I need to update the original Bitmap List(Of Byte) on the server by removing the Bytes in the received informations Index locations array from the Servers Bitmap
List(Of Byte) and replacing those Bytes with the Bytes in the received informations Byte array. This takes so long using a For/Next for however many indexes are in the received informations Index array to update the Bitmap List(Of Byte) on the server using
"Bmp1Bytes.RemoveAt(Index As Integer)" followed by "Bmp1Bytes.Insert(Index As Integer, Item As Byte)" in the For/Next.
I've tried various For/Next statements including using a new List(Of Byte) with If statements so If the the integer for the For/Next ='s the Key in a Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte) using a Counter to provide the Dictionaries Key value then
the Dictionaries byte value will be added to the List(Of Byte) and the counter will increas by one Else the List(Of Byte) adds the original "Bmp1Bytes" byte at that index to the new List(Of Byte). This takes forever also.
I also tried the same For/Next adding to a new Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte) but that takes forever too.
I think I could use RemoveRange and AddRange to speed things up. But I don't know how to retrieve a contiguous range of indexes in the received indexes that need to be updated in the servers "Bmp1Bytes" List(Of Byte) from the received
array of indexes and bytes which are in a Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte). But I believe this would even be slower than some realistic method for replacing all Bytes in a List(Of Byte) when I have the indexes that need to be replaced and the bytes to replace
them with.
Even if I just used AddRange on a new List(Of Byte) to add ranges of bytes from the original "Bmp1Bytes" and the changes from the Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte) I think this would be rather slow. Although I don't know how to do that
by getting contiguous ranges of indexes from the Dictionaries keys.
So I was wondering if there is some method perhaps using Linq or IEnumerable which I've been unable to figure anything out which could do this.
I do have some copy and pasted code which I don't understand how it works that I am using which I would guess could be altered for doing something like this but I can't find information that provides how the code works. Or even if I did
maybe I can't understand it. Like the code below which is extremely fast.
Dim strArray() As String = Array.ConvertAll(Of Integer, String)(BmpComparisonDict.Keys.ToArray, Function(x) x.ToString())
La vida locaMonkeyboy,
That was quite a bit to read, but still a bit unclear. Could you put a specific list of goals/questions, asked in the smallest possible form?
It seems like either you're making a program that monitors activity on your computer, or you're writing some kind of remote pc app.
When you do get your bytes from using lockbits, keep in mind all the files header info would be lost. I think retaining the header info is worth the extra bytes.
The other, thing: I'm not sure if you're taking 32bpp screen shots, but also keep in mind that the "whole desktop" is the final destination for blended graphics, if that makes sense. What I mean is that there is no need to capture an "alpha"
channel for a desktop screenshot, as alpha would always be 255, this could save you 1 byte per pixel captured... Theres nothing "behind" the desktop, therefore no alpha, and every window shown above the desktop is already blended. I suggest using
24Bpp for a full screen capture.
Your X,Y information for the mouse could be stored as UINT16, this would save you a measly 2 bytes per location update/save.
When you update your byte arrays, maybe you can turn the array into a stream and write to whatever index, however many bytes, that should prevent a "Shift" of bytes, and instead overwrite any bytes that "get in the way".
ex
Dim example As String = "This is an example."
Dim insertString As String = "was"
Dim insertBytes As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(insertString)
Dim bytes As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(example)
Dim modifiedBytes As Byte() = {}
Using ms As New System.IO.MemoryStream(bytes)
ms.Position = 5
ms.Write(insertBytes, 0, 3)
modifiedBytes = ms.ToArray
End Using
Dim newString As String = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(modifiedBytes)
'Notice how below there isn't the word "is" anymore, and that there isn't a
'space.
'This demonstrates that you overwrite existing data, versus shifting everything to
'the right.
'Returns: This wasan example.

Well it's too much to read. I was really tired when I wrote it. Even the below is too much to read but perhaps gets the point across of what I would like to do which I think
Joel Engineer may have answered but I'm not sure. As I'm still too tired to understand that yet and research what he said in order to figure it out yet.
But maybe the code below can provide the concept of the operation with the comments in it. But seeing as how I'm still tired it may be confused.

Flash CS4 - Can I change the colors of the background or text that shows up in the Layers section?
I am stuggling here! I am colorblind. I need to change either the color of the background or the color of the text on the layers section on the Timeline. I simply cannot read/see what is currently showing. It is a very light blue background with white text and white dots for seeing, locking, or setting the outline color. I need to either change the text color and dots to black so I can see them, or try to change the background color to a dark blue so I can read the white text. Changing the text color would really be my preference. How do I do this? Please help. Adobe hasn't been very concerned about colorblindness when developing these products. I can barely make out all the light grey/grey/dark grey/grey stuff. Now this!
For Windows you can adjust your Theme (or download a new one and use that). This will alter the color of each layer, for example if you use Classic then it will use a very dark blue for layers that will provide higher contrast. I've downloaded other custom themes in the past that use a very dark grey for example.
(By the way, for Mac users go to Appearance in System Prefs and choose a different Highlight color - you can choose a default or custom one. That color is used for the layer color). -
How do I change background shade of grid-view in iTunes 11?
I've just downloaded and installed iTunes 11 and can't seem to find a way to alter the background colour of grid view. It's bright white or bright white! No options to tone it down to grey or black. Help!
Looks like they removed that option
I was a little worried they would actually, I have no idea why they sometimes remove cool features on updates.
Keep your eye out, someone will probably find a way to hack it back to grey. -
Using a background image for the buttons in spry menu
Hi All,
Going nuts here.
I'm using the vertical spry menu widget w DW CS3 and trying
to alter the css style sheet, so that I can use a li class for each
of the 14 links on this page, with an upstate and a hover state
only. (the focus, and hover while down will be the same as the
others, to keep it simple and not too distracting)
The page is here that I will be replacing the entire
background image in sidebar1 and sidebar2 with a custom spry menu
with the 14 li classes for 2 seperate menus:
http://audibleimagesav.com/blank_doc.html
Has anyone used a background image in place of just using
bkgrd colors and borders for the spry menu ?
I am aware of the attributes that the help docs suggest that
need to be altered as listed here :
http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Spry/1.4/help.html?content=WS0BB04E11-1BE3-4a67-BC94-BE7DA 93A0159.html
I have been working on just an experimental page, that is now
hacked up, however if you want to see that it is here with only the
first list item coded:
http://audibleimagesav.com/site%20theme%20ideas/sprymenu_exp.html
The spry css menu widget for that page is here:
http://audibleimagesav.com/SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarVertical.css
So in short, has anyone done a bkgrd image for the main menu
(not submenu) in a spry widget?
Thanks in advance.

Background processing needed...
iWeb needs to background process.
Each shape/rollover/png/navbar/image-resize file needs to be generated as you make it, or in the background if you're working fast. Every time you alter the item's size or appearance on the iWeb page, it should regenerate it, but if you don't alter the item it leaves the generated file untouched. Moving the item on the iWeb page should not alter the already generated file. Altering plain text on a page should not change anything, only the html file.
There should be an info page like iDVD informing you of background encoding status. You can however save at any time (like iDVD).
When you come to publish, it should generate all other items that have changed or not yet been background encoded (as it does now).
Next time you open iWeb to work on it, all encoding is all up to date (as it did it all prior to publish), so any items that have not been changed should be untouched, and only new items need to be encoded and hence published.
That way, only changed items are generated, not the whole shebang. Thus saving everybody's wasted time and effort in uploading/finding changed files etc.
It should be perfectly possible as iWeb has an undo and a restore feature, so it is already keeping track of changes all the time.
What do you think, will this be in iWeb 1.2, iWeb 2.0, or Web Studio Pro 1.0 ?

Satellite A660 - 3D DVD software runs out of date or is secretly altered
Whats going on; why do I get lynched to pay an additional $59 for software to make my Satellite 3D work?
Ok.
This probably sounds nuts; but my Toshiba Blu-Ray DVD software seems to have a DVD/Blu-ray prevention program in it. Preventing 3D and smaller issues.
It has been out of whack since I updated the software on the Toshiba site and when I updated the nVidia GTS 350M drivers.
That may be co-incidental to the problems which began in previous month/s; as I don`t always play discs on this laptop; so pinning a date when it went pear-shaped is harder.
But, after going through a nightmare (of not working on DVD or Blu-Ray on half my discs for months now); I installed the latest TRIAL ($59) Corel WinDVD 11 Pro player and everything (including 3D) works perfect again. But for 30 days only; until/unless I`m robbed of $59 additional that is.
The problem is/was;-
3D only worked on half of my Blu-Ray 3D discs using pre-installed (and later updated) Toshiba COREL WinDVD media PLAYER. Sometimes it only played 3D side by side; 2 images. No 3D. Some Blu-Ray 3D discs were fine ODDLY. Region code not an issue.
Toshiba DVD 3D player/upconvertor program was the worst (not the SD version, I dont use).
Toshiba (HD) 3D player would not recognise half of my Blu-ray 3D laptop disc drive content. "DVD drive not recognised" error message.
Toshiba DVD player itself would not upconvert any normal DVD to 3D.
Toshiba DVD player would only play NORMAL 2D when running upconvert (no 3D).
Toshiba DVD player would only play HALF-SPEED DVD when upconvert was disabled. When trying to play a DVD in normal 2D mode.
All settings were tried and altered to fix the problem around a thousand times.
Software uninstalled and re-booted and re-installed a dozen times each.
I also had to un-install the software and re-boot and re-install the following;-
nVidia graphics driver (from nVidia sites own 295.73 and re-install Update to the `older` nVidia Toshiba 260.51 driver).
I used to be able to upconvert DVDs to 3D using this laptop; so it did work many months ago; but now that has all stopped for months now.
Its a pain as I have un-installed everything and re-installed all the relevant software from the Toshiba home page; but no solution for the problem without getting mugged an extra $59.
I hate computers for the ten-thousandth time.
1 minute Ramble:-
Its the last Microsoft product I will ever buy (Windows Ultimate rubbish [had to buy a new A3 color lazer printer as no Win 7 drivers for my existing laser printer]).
SAMSUNG (3D internet TV) products from now on. No computers for ten years. Until the rats get it right and stop experimenting on my wallet. $10,000 on PC products in the past 5 years and still being able to do simple things like watch a 3D movie is a hit and miss affair.
I`m rambling....because a hundred hours reading on how to get it working again has scrambled my head.
Spec
Toshiba A660 3D laptop. Satellite.
Windows 7 Ultimate. Updated.
Intel i7 1.73Ghz

Toshiba own DVD 3D player (doesn't cut the mustard) Version 4.00.1.08
Toshiba Corel WinDVD 3D player (doesn't cut the mustard) Version 10.0.5.822
The Nvidia graphics always works fine on the test background page; which makes me think software; but all the relavant software has been updated. Re-installed and re-tried a hundred times with different settings.
I thought the discs were the problem. But 50 DVDs not working in 3D up-converting, or faulty all by themselves? And half of my 3D Blu-Ray collection?
I wondered if these these problems are deeper than this one system. Whether there was a systemic problem somewhere (besides blaming the buyer end-user).
Toshiba assist line in one call was a guy who knew far less than me and had to ask someone advice for every single part of the call. 2 hours to tell me to re-install the software in a long, slow, bit-by-bit way, eventually. We done everything they can do to help. Now they seem to blame the discs and don`t have any answer.
Microsoft x64 Ultimate says its roger all to do with them on their helpline/e-mail assist.
I tried nVidia to no avail;
Any ideas; do I bite the bullet and everyone eventually be forced bit by bit to pay for $59 software to get the thing working.
Whats the beef?Hi
You wrote really long story :) anyway this is an user to user community Im not sure if I could clarify all these issue for you but I would try to share my knowledge with you.
But firstly it would be really interesting to know what Satellite A660-xxx do you have exactly?
You said that you have installed the Win 7 ultimate.
According to the Toshiba page the notebook was preinstalled with Windows Home Premium. The preinstalled WinDVD was a full version (not trial) and you have not to pay for this software. In my case I have not to pay for any software (except MS Office :) )

So it seems that you dont use the preinstalled Win DVD but you have installed other version which was not preinstalledso you have to purchase such version if you want to use a full version of any software which is not part of Toshiba image.
> 3D only worked on half of my Blu-Ray 3D discs using pre-installed (and later updated) Toshiba COREL WinDVD media PLAYER. Sometimes it only played 3D side by side; 2 images. No 3D. Some Blu-Ray 3D discs were fine ODDLY. Region code not an issue.
Take a look into this Toshiba document:
+3D video content not displayed in 3D when using the Toshiba Blu-ray Disc Player+

>Toshiba DVD 3D player/upconvertor program was the worst (not the SD version, I dont use). Toshiba (HD) 3D player would not recognise half of my Blu-ray 3D laptop disc drive content. "DVD drive not recognised" error message. Toshiba DVD player itself would not upconvert any normal DVD to 3D. Toshiba DVD player would only play NORMAL 2D when running upconvert (no 3D). Toshiba DVD player would only play HALF-SPEED DVD when upconvert was disabled. When trying to play a DVD in normal 2D mode.
Found some info regarding the Toshiba player which should provide answers to most mentioned issues:
