Best way to select image with fine hairs?

I have been using the quick selection tool to select images that I want to remove from their backgrounds or edit separately. It always works well except in the hair area. Even when the hair is smooth it looks a little unnatural, and when the hair is flying around I don't know what to do except to laboriously outline things in extreme close-up. Any other suggestions?

There are several methods available. Here is one tutorial which helped me get a grip on masking hair.

Please Help

it's a bit dificult to control anchored object -speacially in two colum text box- when placing image in one and half colum size, it wont move to first column.

Best way to manage images on jsp web application

Hi,
Am developing a jsp web application, in that project, the user will upload the image files, now I created an image directory in the context root and when the image is uploaded by the user it is saved in the /images directory and the image path is saved in the database. I can display this image using the <img src="images/a.jsp" > tag.
but when I rebuild the project all the images in the /images directory get deleated but the image path is remained in the database, is there any method that I make /image dir outside my project context root so that when I rebuild the project the /images dir can get changed and my project will save images outside the context root that is in the /images dir which is now outside the project context root. and is it possible to display those images using <img src""> tag. because this time my /images dir is at D:/images . what could be the best method or way to handle images with the web application.
any suggestion will be helpfull

Well my friend as per your given case there are to two ways of approaching your problem.
Case 1:
How to save the relevant data ??
.Create a backup folder Workstation on which you are hosting your application where you can store all the uploaded files which is outside the scope of webserver(However we can write a dedicated servlet which can access that file) and make sure we pickup from any the folder path from a specfic MessageResource bundle or an context/servlet init parameter in web.xml.
.Write a Upload servlet/Backing Bean which saves all the files in the discussed folder using utility packages like Commons FileUpload,Oreilly MultipartRequest & etc and then register saved fileName in the database user specfic table specific to user.
How to display the Image ??
.Write a dedicated servlet which can pickup user related fileName specfic information from the database and the read the file from backup folder by constructing the path from the entry made as a init param in web.xml or any other custom MessageResource bundle and then stream the Image data using the ServletOutputStream.
NOTE: do not forget to pickup & setImage file ContentType & Set the content length.
.Just try to render the JSP view file where we are displaying the displaying the images by calling the dedicated ImageServlet.
<img src="ImageServlet?userid=2345" align="center"/>Try to refer below posts to get a better understading.
Dedicated Image Servlet:

Uploading Files Using Servlet:
http://muimi.com/j/jakarta/commons/fileupload/
Case 2
The second method would more or less the same but here we would save the uploaded file
content is saved in the Database as a Blob and we would retrive it back using a dedicated image servlet again.
However,in terms of performance the second case implementation is very costly.
Try to refer below posts to get a better understading on the second case.

Is there a way to open image with another phogram outside photoshop?

Hi
i have cs6 and bridge cs6 ,windows 7 64bit
is there a way to open images with another program then photoshop?
for example a script or other ways?
i'm talking about jpg,raw files for example
for example i would like to send 4 photos to ptgui or other programs
thanks

PTGui Pro should appear in your 'Open With' list bottom section, at least it shows on my system (Mac)
Be aware that PTGui can only handle jpeg, tiff and PNG and it only handles Raw files using the DCraw converter (Open source originally developed for Linux).
Only applications that support the particular file type you select appear in the Open With list.
And on a Mac I can drag and drop jpeg and tiff from Bridge to the project assistant.

Hi,
When you are asking about the "best method for BDB", you should first read this: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/am_conf/select.html
When you know exactly what are the differences between the BDB access methods, then you will be able to figure out which is the best method for your requirements or to ask a more specific question.
Regarding the second problem, you should read about isolation and degrees of isolation: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/transapp/inc.html

Hi,
I have joined three table and selected 15colmuns over a period of 6months it tooks 10sec .

whats the best way to select varchar(max) over a period?
Can anyone please help me on this?
Thanks,

That appears to be normal behavior for any RDBMS.
You can use the LEFT function to limit transmission volume from server to client:
SELECT A.Title, A.DocumentSummary INTO tempdb.dbo.DocText
FROM Production.Document A
CROSS JOIN Production.Document B CROSS JOIN Production.Document C
CROSS JOIN Production.Document D CROSS JOIN Production.Document E;
-- (59049 row(s) affected)
SET STATISTICS TIME ON
DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERS
SELECT A.Title, A.DocumentSummary FROM tempdb.dbo.DocText A
DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERS
SELECT A.Title, Prefix=LEFT(A.DocumentSummary,10) FROM tempdb.dbo.DocText A
SET STATISTICS TIME OFF
SQL Server Execution Times:
CPU time = 172 ms, elapsed time = 787 ms.
DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.

What is the best way to display image ??

hi my questions is unusual, there are so many ways to display images.
I m developing image processing s/w can any one suggest me which would be the best way to display image on which i can perform image operations.
like in JPanel, icon, trhough paint() or anything else...
thank you..In advance

hi man... i think so imaging is better with JAI(Java Advanced Imaging) .... is perfect for display in jcomponent like JPanel or JLabel, you have to replace the paintComponent().
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.Rectangle;
import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
import javax.media.jai.PlanarImage;
import javax.swing.JComponent;
class ImagePanel extends JComponent {
     protected PlanarImage image1;
     protected AffineTransform atx= new AffineTransform();
     protected int width, heigth;
     public ImagePanel() {
     public ImagePanel(PlanarImage i) {
          image1= i;
          width= i.getWidth();
          heigth= i.getHeight();
     public void paintComponent(Graphics gc) {
          Graphics2D g= (Graphics2D)gc;
          Rectangle rect= this.getBounds();
          if ((width != rect.width) || (heigth != rect.height)) {
               double magx= rect.width / (double)width;
               double magy= rect.height / (double)heigth;
               atx.setToScale(magx, magy);
          if (image1 != null)
               g.drawRenderedImage(image1, atx);
if you need more info, ask about JAI api and docs

What is the best way to stream sports with Apple TV

What is the best way to stream sports with apple TV

Your question is a little too broad. Hard to know what sports you are talking about.
If you have a newer Mac, you can use airplay to mirror anything on your Mac to your apple tv. Or use the ESPN app.
But a lot of sports just can't be streamed as they are available, though I bet this year sees a lot of new livestreams on sports on YouTube or Ustream.

The Best Way to engage InDesign with InCopy

Hello Mr./Ms.
I have some question about collaborating between InDesign with InCopy. My question is which one the best way to engage InDesign with InCopy, the way number one or number two?
Usually, I make assignment first in InDesign, and I put that file (.inca) on a server. So the editor can open the inca file from server. Instead of Editor, I take the incx file from server.
The Editor directly open Indd File from server, so I'm not necessary to create assignment file.
I hope someone can help to solve this my problem. Thank you very much for attention.
note: What server and network requirement for best result InDesign and InCopy workflow?
Best Regards,
Bambang Damayanto
[email protected]

I respectfully disagree; I think assignments are in most cases (not all) more trouble that they're worth. For your local work, continue w/INDD files only. It just makes things simpler.
When an editor wants to work on something off-site, the designer can make an assignment on the fly for them. It could even be the entire document as one large assignment. Since the stories are already exported, you just need to make the assignment (Create New Assignment from the Assignment panel menu) and the drag/drop the linked stories to that assignment. Other people can still open the INDD file but they won't be able to edit the stories that were packaged for the remote editor.

Best way to export data with r.t. prompts and have dense dim mbrs on rows?

Hi All-
What is the best way to export data with Run time prompts out of Essbase?
One thought was to use Business Rules with run time variables and DATAEXPORT command, but I came across at least one limitation where I cannot have months (part of dense Time Periods dimension) on rows.
I have only two dense dimensions: Accounts and Time Periods and I need both of these on rows. This would come handy when user enter Start and End month and year for data to be exported e.g. If start period is Feb 2010 and end is Jan 2011, I get data for all months in 2010 and 2011.

Best way to stack images?

I'm doing macro photopgraphy and need to do a lot of focus stacking. I'm trying to determine the best way to stack images in PS, but there seems to be a lot of conflicting information out there. I've sucessfully stacked images using two different methods:
Way # 1
file -> scripts -> load files into stack
edit->auto-align layers
edit->auto-blend layers (stack images, seamless tones and colors)
Way # 2
file -> automate -> photomerge (uncheck blend images together)
edit->auto-blend layers (stack images, seamless tones and colors)
The second way produces a much better result, IMHO. Is that the best way to stack images in PS?
Thanks for your advice.

I hear Photoshop can do it, but I've not tried it.
I do have two quite accomplished macro photographer friends who swear by the standalone program Helicon Focus. They've shown me some quite good results.

Best way to control voltage with my code?

I need to be able to control current and voltage of a power supply. What would be the best way to implement this with my code? I realize that I need to use a DAQmx Start and Stop task. I *think* I would like the task to start when the user runs the program. The voltage and current should be 0 when I start it, or a really low number.
Currently, the program I am working off of using TraditionalDAQ. It uses 'AO Write One Update.vi' to update the voltage and current.
How can I use DAQmx to achieve the same? Is it possible to also have the DAQmx code in an event structure in the same way?
Can I do this in my event structure, in a new event? The code below shows my code. There are two loops, the bottom one handles acquisition and logging. The top one handles the events.

There are an excellent series of NI Tutorials on DAQmx. Not that they are easy to find, but start here: DAQmx White Papers. This is an especially useful White Paper: The Top 10 DAQmx Functions.
Something that also helps a lot is to configure your device using MAX (and use MAX to run it to be sure it is working correctly). Once you have it configured, save it as a Task, which encapsulates all of the "picky details" (such as channel names/numbers, sampling rates, clock sources, etc.). When you go to write your code, simply right-click on the Start Task VI and create a constant, expand the Constant (which should show you MAX's Tasks), and choose the Task you just created. No need for numerous confusing DAQmx Configuration VIs.

Best way to share analytics with 3rd party?

What's the best way to share analytics with a third party (our client in this case)? Setup a new DPS user and restrict access to just analytics (is that even possible)? Is there some other software out there to accomplish this? Perhaps something that scrapes itunesconnect? Basically, our client wants sales numbers. I'd like to go a step further and provide content stats.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Best way to bundle JavaHelp with application

What is the best way to bundle JavaHelp with an application....
At present I have to run the application that uses JavaHelp as follows
java -classpath ;lib/jhall.jar HelpMenu
Is there a better way? so that when the application is moved to a client machine the classpath to the javaHelp jhall.jar does not have to be supplied as above?
Cheers :)

If you don't want to specify the classpath you can
1> either create a batch/shell script with lauches the app with the appropriate classpath
2> You jar your app and specify the classpath in your jars's MANIFEST.MF file like this.
Main-Class: main class name which will launch the app
Class-Path: jhall.jar
The above entries assume jhall.jar is in the same dir as your main jar. You can put more jars in the classpath above by separating them with space.
With this the app can be just lauched by typing: java -jar filaname.jar

DB2 Connect version 8.2 is no longer supported by IBM (support ended April 30, 2009, see http://www.ibm.com/software/data/support/lifecycle/). As far as I know, DB2 Connect is communicating through DRDA, which is a platform-independent protocol supported by all DB2 platforms, so any DB2 Connect client should be able to talk to any DB2 database. However, there may be limitations on the supported release combinations.
Kind regards,
