Blending mode help please!!!!!

Hi everyone.
I'm now using a mac for indesign and I've found that to preview different blending modes (normal-multiply-screen etc) on an object I have to click on each mode separately. Is there any way you can cycle through them and see the results? - In photoshop you press shift, and then + or - and it will cycle. - This way is far quicker and less fiddly!
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Chris.

That's very strange, I'm nearly sure I got that tip from someone who works with Mac Os?
I find that if I call up the panels with a shortcut key the first field is highlighted, I can then Tab around the panel.
If I click withing the Panel at any stage, then the tab key hides all the panels.
Sorry it doesn't work for you, cycling the blend modes is great, sometimes I know I need Multiply, but I cycle them anyway to see if anything looks better.
Maybe someone who is Mac orientated knows of another way.

  • Blending modes help?

    Hi, I loaded a picture up and placed a white square with opacity "10%" to act as a "watermark". I merged it down and duplicated that square with the same opacity. Then I changed the second square to "subtract". They should cancel eachother out and I should be left with the original image, correct? But the result is a grayish/desaturated square. No values reached 255, so there shouldn't be any data loss. Can someone explain this? And how would I go about cancelling out the first square I made if this is not how to do it?

    It's the best solution so far, as it seems to be the closest to cancelling out the square. But it's nothing I haven't tried already. I've tried every blending mode on the second layer with both white and black squares. They all leave a desaturated (not completely desaturated, but less than the original) looking artifact.
    I just tried with an even simpler set up. I opened a 10x10 document, and filled it with the color (123,164,93). then i added a new layer of white, turned opacity to 20% and merged.Then I added another layer of white, turned the opacity to 20%, selected "subtract", and merged. The final image should be a 10x10 square that's (123,164, 93) but instead it's (119, 146, 100). And I just checked and that doesn't even return the same brightness value.
    I tried different blending modes for the second layer and even tried putting the first white layer on "linear dodge (add)" thiking "well, since add is the opposite of subtract, it should work". Still, I never get the original color.
    Is this a bug in just my software??? Have you tried doing this experiment yourself and it works on your end??? Is there a setting somewhere that I can adjust that should be adjusted??? Or is this a bug or issue that Adobe hasn't worked out? Maybe they need another blending mode called "super simple subtract"?? lol please help because I think this should be sooo freakin easy. The programming for it would childsplay! R - R, G - G, B - B... that's how "subtract" should work

  • Re: Abysmal customer care. mods help please

    can someone (ie a mod) please help.been without a phone line and broadband now for three weeks had three different dates when situation would be resolved and still awaiting a satisfactory solution.promises of returned phone calls to my mobile have not happen on two occasions.
    I fail to see how in the 21st century in one of the most technically advanced countries in the world we have to wait three weeks for this to be resolved.
    I have been told the fault is due to collapsed ducting and they had to dig a trench to resolve it.How long does it take to dig a trench?
    effectivley I am paying for my landline and broadband via Bt who are not providing the service.
    when you ring up you effectivly get apologetic lip service but no one takes ownership of the problem either as an company (bt blame open reach who it appaers to me to be unaccountable) or individual employees (WE WILL RING YOU BACK BUT DONT).
    A company is judged how it reacts to problems and BT has been nothing short of appaling so far.
    Does anyone know how I can esculate my situation? or own the problem and see it through to a resolution or can a member advise the most effective way to formally complain to someone like a governing body to but me back into the year 2013.

    if the ducting is under a public road/pavement then openreach will need permission from the council before they can start digging - councils are not re-knowned for there speed in granting permission

  • Laptop shuts down after sleep mode, help please!

    When I close the lid or press the sleep mode button, my laptop goes into sleep mode and everything is ok. However, when I open the lid or press the power button to awake it... after a few seconds, my laptop shuts down! I just formatted my laptop to the factory settings hoping to fix the issue, but it persists. Please help!

    When any problem persists after recovering to factory settings, it's often indicative of a hardware problem.

  • IBOOKS AUTHOR PORTRAIT MODE HELP PLEASE

    Hi All
    I wonder if anyone can help and advise me on a problem
    i have a page created in ibooks author
    it contains graphics, text and text boxes with a picture frame and a gradient fill inside; however when I switch from landscape mode to portrait mode the text box I created that needs to be after all the text created is either above the text or hidden behind a scrollable blue line with  up and down arrows.
    this is really anoying me and can't see how to fix the problem
    Can you help and advise
    Thanks for your time
    Andy

    Andy:
    Here's the deal - often enough, a certain layout subtlety (defined as 'do this to do that') is found to be predicated on one or more specific templates.
    In order to debug an issue, that if solved relies on a template that the book in question doesn't use, the process can mean that there is no direct path towards xyz solution...only that the issue is spotlighted.
    This can mean the issue is compounded by the original choice of template, which in turns mean that the solution is to change templates and most likely start over.
    I don't know for a fact that your issue would be rectified by changing templates, and I'm not up for doing all the work to (a) find the proper template and (b) throughly refit your content to test the voracity of that template's ability to solve this one issue, sorry. Keep in mind there may be a very direct/simple solution with your book as-is...only by debugging it would you know

  • Start Up in Safe Mode: Help Please

    Hi,
        Have a late 2012 iMac and would like to start it up in safe mode.  I have heard that you press the shift key after the chime when you start it up, but have
    not had any luck.  Can someone advise me as to how to get the computer to start up in safe mode please.
    Thanks very much.
    Alf

    Okay. This all makes sense now. And why the OP originally thought after chimes. He is right. San Lewy, I always thought you couldn't do it through bluetooth as well. From CNET:
    If any inputs are being sent via the Bluetooth keyboard before the controllers are active, then they will not be recognized by the system. However, if these inputs are performed after the controllers are activated, then they will be properly read. Therefore, for Bluetooth keyboards, be sure to press the desired key sequences after you hear the boot chimes and not before.

  • Having trouble streaming NBA league pass from my MBP to my TV in full screen mode, help please.

    So i have the Moshi mini dp and the apple hdmi cable. I cannot stream from my MBP to my TV in FULL sceen mode cleanly with 720p resolution. When NOT hooked up to my TV the MBP has no problem going fullscreen perfectly, then, when I connect the mini dp to the MBP and TV it gets messed up on both the TV and MBP. The last caveat is that it streams PERFECTLY in NON full screen mode, but, the second I change it to full screen, blamo! It gets all messed up. One thing I did that is really just a 'work around' was decreased my resolution, no longer 720p >:(  and this is not satisfactory to me.  Any suggestions?

    Any help to increase the resolution quality of my DV file will be EXTREMELY HELPFUL.
    For faster editing iMovie 08 & 09 uses single-field processing. This means every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage. iMovie 06 uses all of the image, I think you will find it looks better.
    iMovie 06 and iDVD 09 is a terrific combination.

    Hi, Bas
    Thanks again for your help!
    I can't download the patchsets from metalink because I do not have a metalink account. It is impossible for me to buy oracle's products for the reason that I am a student at school. I use oracle just for learning.
    So it seems like that the only way I can go is to use XE. But I still want to ask you if there is another way for me to get the patchsets for db 10.2.0.1.
    I appreciate your help very much.
    Regards!

  • My iPhone 4 is stuck in recovery mode, help please!

    Hi everyone. I've tried every posisble solution from finding answers on here but nothing is working for me.
    Now here's my story:
    My iPhone4 is jailbroken and has been for a few months now with no problems. Yesterday I went to make a phone call and after the phone call I wasn't able to exit the screen with the 'Home' button, so I turned off my phone. I then turned it back on, entered my passcode, and then tried going into Instagram and it also wouldn't let me exit using the 'Home' button. So I decided to hook my iPhone up to my computer after finding someone having the same problem, and they said they just had to upgrade to the latest firmware. So I tried this today... hooked up my phone and iTunes popped up. I clicked to 'Restore' and once it downloaded everything it said it could not be restored because of 1013 error. My phone neded up going into recovery mode where the iTunes logo is on my iPhone screen. I tried exiting recovery mode by downloading the latest version of tinyumbrella but it wouldn't recognize my iPhone. My iPhone shows up with the serial number on tinyumbrella instead of "Kati's iPhone" and iTunes also won't recognize it. When I clicked "Exit Recovery" I then exited out of tinyumbrella and the apple icon showed up on my iPhone. I then tried opening iTunes and it went back to the iTunes screen on my phone. I tried clicking "restore" but it said my phone is in recovery mode and I need ot exit recovery mode. What do I do to exit recovery mode and get my phone working again? I'm on a PC, not a Mac. I"m freaking out that I may have totally broken my iPhone and will have to buy a new one Also, I'mpretty sure I'm running in 4.3.2, but I'm not sure.
