Beginner question about using selection tools (Mac OS X 10.6 user)

I click on, say, Magnetic Lasso and it does its thing. But, in true Sorcerer's Apprentice fashion, it keeps on going and going. Two questions: how to stop the tool, and how to correct the deviant strokes? To stop ML, I click Command + D and nothing happens. I choose Deselect and nothing happens. Also, I am trying to select 2 discontinuous regions in the photo. How to do that? Thanks!

When you double click, it should finish up the selection. You can use the selection brush to tidy up (Option-drag to remove areas.)
To add more areas hold down shift as you select or turn on the add to selection square in the options bar if the tool has it.

  • Question about using an old MAC as a storage source

    Greetings all: I have a G5 tower (OS 10.4) with about 2 terrabytes of hard drives integrated into it; I need to use my intel core duo laptop to do most of my photography now (using SL) and was thinking of just using the tower in 'target mode' to take addvantage of the massive amount of storage; if I do this, does anyone know if the other internal hard drives can also be seen? Or do I just see the system drive?
    Thanks
    Ger

    just try it and see. it depends on your G5 computer. if it uses Master-Slave hard drive configuration then only the master drive will be seen in target mode.

  • Question about using Pen Tool on more then one frame...

    I have a scene where the actor is running towards the camera; I want to key an explosion behind him. I duplicated the shot and put a keyed explosion in between the layers. I used the pen tool and marked around the actor. I hit "add" on the drop down and the explosion showed up. Looks fine...
    Now how do I animate the actor over a long period of time? I can't figure out how to add a different pen tool mark for each unique frame.
    thanks for any help!

    Hmmm. I masked my actor. Hit the stopwatch on Mask Path, then went to the next frame. I added another keyframe and changed the mask to fit the new position but noticed it still changed the mask for the previous frames. I can't seem to figure out how to edit frames individually...

  • Using selection tool to Cut image into pieces...

    Hi all,
    I was just experimenting with my Painter image editing software in my computer, and I just thought about an effect that I performed in my Painter software.
    Actually, what I did is best show in images attached here. Please use them as a guide to my questions.
    In Painter, I used the selection tool to seperate parts of my image as seen in my attached image. I just wonder whether one can do the same thing in after effects too.
    Thanks and hope to here your responses to my question.

    Ok. Thanks for your great tips as I'll see where I can go from here.

    Like Steve said, you'll have to use masks. To keep it clean and predictable, draw all your masks as needed, then duplicate the layer (Ctrl+D). then delete the masks on a given layer that you don't need. What is to become the background with "holes" also will need the mask modes to be set from the default Add to Subtract. Once you have everything, you may wish to use the pan behind tool (Y) to move the layer anchor points into the centers of the masked shapes, so animation becomes a bit more predictable.

  • Question about using TVARV in an ABAP program

    Hello gurus, Im sorry about the silly question.
    I have a question about using TVARV in an ABAP program.
    A program is presenting a problem and I think that in this code:
    SELECT SIGN OPTI LOW HIGH
      FROM TVARV
      INTO TABLE R_1_163431035_VELOCIDADE
      WHERE  NAME = '1_163431035_VELOCIDADE'
      AND    TYPE = 'S'.
      IF ZMM001-VELOCIDADE_B   IN R_1_163431035_VELOCIDADE AND
          ZOPERADORAS-OPERADORA = 'ABCD' AND
          ZMM001-MATERIAL       IN R_1_163431035_PRODUTO.
      ELSE.
      ENDIF.
    What happens is that the value "ZMM001-SPEED" B not exist in "R1_163431035_VELOCIDADE" but the program executes commands under the IF and not under the ELSE, as I imagine it would work. Is this correct ?
    I am new to ABAP programming, but I have a lot of XP in other programming languages ​​and this makes no sense to me.
    Anyone know where I can find some documentation of the use of "TVARV" in ABAP programs?
    I search the Internet if other programmers use TVARV this way, but found nothing, which leads me to think that was a quick and dirty solution that used here.
    If this is a bad way to program, what would be the best way?
    Regards
    Ronaldo.

    Hi Ronaldo,
    But in this case, the range is not empty, there are 17 records, in this way.:
    For the column "SING" all values ​​are "E"
    It means that the result is false if ZMM001-VELOCIDADE_B has the same value as one of the 17 records (E = exclude).
    For instance, if it has value 'C' and one of 17 records matches C, then the result is false.
    The "IF" with "IN" using "TVARV" as used in the program of the post above has the same behavior of a selection screen?
    Yes, the same behavior as the selection criterion to be exact. You can press the help key in the complex selection dialog for more info.
    I know it's a silly and very basic question, but other language that I used, only the SQL has the "IN" operator, but I think they work in different ways, so I would like to understand how it works in ABAP.
    Not silly ;-). Yes they work differently.

  • Question about using Macbook in Vietnam.

    I have a question about using Macbook in Vietnam. I bought my mac here in the US, and I'm going to visit Vietnam, but I'm wondering if I can plug in the power directly into the wall or I have to need any convert power modem for my mac. The only thing I know that Vietnam use 220V so, can anyone help me?

    You may need a plug adaptor, but you don't need a power converter.

  • I have a question about using multiple ipads in our school.  Each of our teachers have a iPad and AppleTV in their classroom.  The issue is, with our classrooms so close in proximity to one another, is there a way to pair teacher

    I have a question about using multiple ipads in our school.  Each of our teachers have a iPad and AppleTV in their classroom.  The issue is, with our classrooms so close in proximity to one another, is there a way to pair teacher #1 iPad to its AppleTV without effecting/projecting onto the adjacent teachers #2 classroom AppleTV?

    Not as such.
    Give the AppleTV units unique names and also enable Airplay password in settings with unique passwords for each teacher.

  • Hi, I have quick question about use of USEBEAN tag in SP2. When I specify a scope of SESSION for the java bean, it does not keep the values that I set for variable in the bean persistent.Thanks,Sonny

     

    Make sure that your bean is implementing the serializable interface and that
    you are accessing the bean from the session with the same name.

  • Question about using new battery in old Powerbook

    I have a pre-intel Powerbook G4, and the battery is pretty much toast (lasts about 15 minutes now). I have ordered a new battery for it, and I have this question about using it:
    Am I smarter to keep the new strong battery out of the PB most days (as I usually work with it plugged in at home) and just pop it in when I know I will be out surfing on batteries? Or is it just as good living in my laptop 24/7 and only occasionally being called upon to do its job?
    Current bad Battery Information below:
    Battery Installed: Yes
    First low level warning: No
    Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 1144
    Remaining Capacity (mAh): 1115
    Amperage (mA): 0
    Voltage (mV): 12387
    Cycle Count: 281
    thanks folks, Shereen

    Hi, Shereen. Every Powerbook battery wants to be used — drained and then recharged — at least every couple of weeks. If you've always used your Powerbook on AC power nearly all the time, and not followed that pattern of discharging and recharging the battery every week or two, it's possible that your use habits have shortened the lifespan and prematurely diminished the capacity of your old battery. Of course it's also possible that your battery is merely old, as a battery's capacity also diminishes with age regardless of how it's used. You didn't say how old the battery is in years, so this may or may not be an issue. I mention it only because it can be an issue.
    For general information on handling a battery for the longest possible lifespan, see this article. My advice on the basis of that article and long experience reading these forums is that it would be OK to do as you propose, but I doubt that you'd derive any significant benefit from it. You would still want to be sure of putting the new battery through a charge/discharge cycle every week or two, even if you didn't have a reason to use the Powerbook away from home or your desk, because sitting unused outside the computer is just as bad for a battery as sitting unused inside it. And you should never remove the battery from your computer when it's completely or almost completely discharged and let it sit that way any longer than a day or two.

  • Question about Using PAPI Web Service in PowerBuilder 9

    Hi, all.
    I Have a simple question about using papiws in power builder 9.
    In pb9, I created a new Web Service Proxy Wizard and I input a url for papiws(ex. http://seraphpernote:7001/papiws/PapiWebService) and click next.
    But I couldn't get any Service List.
    In Eclipse, I used this url for using papiws well.
    Does anybody know about this case??
    help me plz.

    IIRC you must activate PAPI-WS for the engine. In Studio you do it by right-clicking on the project, then "engine preferences". In enterprise/standalone you must activate PAPI-WS in the Admin Center.

  • Can't use selection tool, hand keeps coming up

    What is going on, when I go to use selection tool the hand tool is coming up and I can't change or work! What is going on?
    Both in Adobe Ilustrator CC and CS6. any one else having this issue.
    I am getting behind on a project, help!
    thanks so much in advance!

    visualsolutions,
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Question about using 10g/11g and APEX ...

    Hi,
    I just recently learned of Oracle's APEX and have a few questions about using it.
    Can I use APEX with express, standard, and enterprise editions of 10g and 11g?
    Are all of these free to use?

    You might want to read about APEX rather than jumping into questions that are reasonably well documented. Info at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/index.html
    Your specific questions:
    1) Apex is a package that can be installed into any properly licensed database.
    2) The price for the production license of the database varies by edition.
    The price for Express Edition is $0 for use in production. Part of the cost for that edition is 'no Oracle Support based support, no patches, data volume limitation, etc.'
