Blur and Filter Problems

I have Elements 9. I am trying to use the gaussian blur and end up with a picture that looks like this.
What am I doing wrong? It's also happening when I use other filters.

That looks your video card may be causing that. Does this happen on every image?
Are you using mac or windows?

Unable to view help and filter problems

Hello,
First of all I'm a newbie on MacOSX and really happy to use it.
I'm having some problems using Mail.
I have 2 IMAP accounts with a lot of folders and sub-folders. I want to create filters to automaticaly put mails into the right box.
Creating rules is easy but when I want to choose a box in a folder, I need to open this folder in Mail before I can choose it in my filter. Example:
INBOX
|-Folder 1
| |- box 1
| |- box 2
| |- box 3
|-Folder 2
If Folder 1 is closed, the filter interface don't expand it and I cannot choose box 1, box 2 or box 3.
I try to search in the Help menu. The application launches but nothing appears. Looking into the library, I can see help for others applications but not for Mail.
Can someone help me to debug this ?
Thanks for help.

Maryse,
I don't think the size of the file should be an issue, even
when it's 13 MB. I'm sure that other people have been distributing
much larger files than this without problem for many years.
You say "
some people cannot view help", which suggests that other
users are not encountering the problem. In other words, the methods
that your software developers have used to connect the help file to
the application do work properly, if not for all users.
When users who cannot view the help press F1, does nothing
happen, or does the help viewer open but with an error message in
the right-hand topic pane? Is the large file the only one that is
affected by this issue, or are all the other help files in the
collection also affected?
If it's of any interest to you, you don't need to compile a
PDF file into a help file in order to display the contents of the
PDF in the help file. Microsoft has published the following script
for linking to an external file from a help topic:

Flash CS3 and Filter problem

Ok. So I have a file that was originally created with Flash
8. The file was opened in Flash 9 and published. The problem is
that the text that I have in there is being cut off when published
(publish preview only, The full publish works fine so far). I've
narrowed it down to being a problem with the filters that are used.
I'm using a basic drop shadow on the static text.
More specifically, when I publish using Flash 7, filters are
not supported and they are dropped out and the entire word shows.
When I publish in Flash 8 or 9 with filters turned on, the words
are cut off. For example the word "connection", when a filter is
applied, all that publishes is "connecti". The o and n are gone.
And if I change the settings on that drop shadow filter, the word
is cut off in a different place than before, sometimes cutting a
letter in half. When I delete the filter and publish in 8 or 9, the
entire word shows again. Also, I can edit the blurX or Y, or the
strength or distance and it will sometimes show the entire word.
But when I do this to other words, it creates a problem on those
words. If I then go and edit the settings back or to different
numbers, cutoff happens once again.
This is very inconsistent and makes working with filters
difficult since I can't preview what I've done without doing a full
publish. I've converted the words to movie clips and so far have
not had the same problem, however, I don't want to add movie clips.
So this basically looks like a glitch with this new version of
Flash. I sure hope that someone at Adobe sees this post and might
look into the problem.
I'm on an Intel based MacBook Pro. If anyone has run into
this problem, please let me know if you have found there to be a
solution rather than a work around. Thanks to Anyone who can help.
And once again, this only appears to be a problem when I do a
publish preview, not a full publish.
Tobin

Thanks; thats helpful.
What's going on is that the filter is being reused for your
text instances.
Flash does automatic associations between frames to see where
some objects
should be instances of or related to the objects in the frame
before it. In
your case, since each of your frames have a single static
text field in the
same depth (one spot above the jump in button), and since
they all use the
same drop shadow filter with the same settings, Flash will
reuse that exact
same filter for each of the objects in consecutive frames at
those depths
assuming they are the same object. What this amounts to is
the bounding box
for the first text+filter combination being used for all
others. You can
see this more clearly if you move the "Love" text to be at
the beginning of
the sequence and then test your movie.
What can you do? Here are a few options (though only a few
may work in your
situation):
- include one frame between each text field
- on every other text field, modify a property of the filter,
either
adjusting the strength by a value of 1, changing the quality,
or something
not visible but enough to make Flash recognize it as a
different filter
- in a layer under every other textfield place an invisible
object. This
should force every other text field to be at a higher depth
thereby
preventing Flash from assuming they are the same object as
the one before
it.
- place each text field in a movie clip thereby separating
the filters from
the same timeline (or, technically, just every other text
field would be
necessary)
- change your text to dynamic text. These will be treated as
separate
instances (or at least Flash will be wise enough not to be so
static in its
application of the filter). You may need to be sure to embed
your fonts for
anti-aliasing
In the mean time I will officially log a bug. Though Flash is
"technically"
doing what it thinks is best, its not working out very well
for this case.

HTTP header and Filter: problem

Hi,
Let's suppose I need to check HTTP header values for some reason. I created a filter to analyze request information before passing it to servlet.
Anyway filter's method doFilter() takes a ServletRequest as a parameter, not HttpServletRequest, therefore I can't use HttpServletRequestWrapper and its method getHeaders(). ServletRequestWrapper does not have such a method. Casting from ServletRequest to HttpServletRequest won't work - Weblogic does not allow this.
Anyway I need to extract headers information for the request and I know for sure it is an HTTP request, of course.
Does anyone here know how can I extract header information in this case?

Anyway filter's method doFilter() takes a
ServletRequest as a parameter, not
HttpServletRequest, therefore I can't use
HttpServletRequestWrapper and its method
getHeaders().However you are actually getting an HttpServletRequest object as your actual parameter, so just cast it to HttpServletRequest and do what you need to do.

CS4 plug-ins, 3rd party plug-ins and filter problems

1- What happened to all the filters available in CS3? They were a good thing. Why does Adobe kill off what's already working well and looking good? For instance, where's the Distort>Diffuse???
2- Same thing with PS plug-ins and third party plug-ins. They're all gone, now that I've "upgraded." (A term I use with disgust.) I paid too much money for all the aggravation I've been experiencing with these three issues.
But I digress: I dragged plug-ins to the folder, but they still don't show up.
Thank you.......
iMac 23" 2.16 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo 3 GB RAM OS 10.5.5 ACR5.2
PS: Why does Adobe take away what finally works smoothly? Why offer a feature, and then take it back 18 months later with the next version? I'll sleep better at night if I can just understand how it helps the users to have the useful deleted.

First of all, make sure you have not moved the application icon or the application folder from the default install location, and that you have not created subfolders there in a misguided attempt to "organize" things.
Secondly, please tell us what you upgraded from. If you had been running some 3rd party plugins that are not written for Universal Binary, they may not run in a newer OS or a newer machine.
Third, please see the documentation or Adobe Photoshop's Principal Program Manager John Nack's blog for the stuff that
was taken out in CS4:
http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2008/10/where_did_extra.html
Filter > Distort > Diffuse Glow is right there where it's always been. If you don't see it, you're either in 16 bits or have a bad install.

Problem with 'sort and filter' feature of embed codes in Excel Online Web App

So my question has to do with the Excel Online feature where you can share a spreadsheet and embed it in a website with the option of allowing users to sort and filter the data. (The option is under the "Interaction" heading.)
One of the options if you look closely is "Let people sort and filter" which is not checked off. In the embed code you can see "AllowInteractivity=False". The problem is that when I check "Let people sort and filter"
the embed code changes completely - going from:
<iframe width="700" height="900" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=dontworryaboutitEDFD383&resid=6BAA9620AEDFD383%21107&authkey=AFj3X8xq2U3IfDE&em=2&wdAllowInteractivity=False&Item='Sheet1'!A1%3AI32"></iframe>
to:

If I manually change 'false' to 'true' that doesn't do the trick so I'm not sure what to try next.
Any thoughts?

Blur control disabled for Drop Shadow Effect and Filter

Win2k Pro
2GB Ram
AICS 11.0.0
This is odd: the blur control in the Drop Shadow Effect and Filter dialog boxes is disabled. It seems to me there was a time it was ENabled.
This is the situation for both vector and bitmap objects. I've played with Document Raster Settings.
Truth be told, I _did_ reinstall Illustrator last year and have not used it much since.
Any insights you can share?
Thanks

Blur and distroted image as final product? Why?

I use photoshop to resize the images and the resolution to 72dpi. I use fade filter. After I placed them into motion, export them, and imported into Final Cut Pro 5, render it, them view it on the monitor. It looks terrible blur and distroted. Why? How to fix this problem?
Thank you
Luis

Ok lets break it down.
"I use photoshop to resize the images and the resolution to 72dpi."
Ok, if you want to. But, you could just import them and size them as you want in the Motion composition.
"I use fade filter."
Not sure what that means but I'm guessing you do this in Motion not PSD.
"After I placed them into motion, export them,..."
Whoa, export them. What are you settings and do they match you FCP sequence settings?
"...and imported into Final Cut Pro 5, render it,..."
Well, if you have to render it your export settings in Motion must be wrong. Unless you mean you save the Motion project and then import the Motion Project file into FCP. Then you would need to render. You still need to make sure your setting match.
"...them view it on the monitor. It looks terrible blur and distroted. Why? How to fix this problem?"
The short answer is we need more info. Look at the things I said and get us some more information.

Unable to run XPSDrv Driver and Filter Sample

Hello
I'm facing to a problem with XPSDrv Driver and Filter Sample on my Windows 7 x64 machine
I installed Visual Studio Ultimate 2013
I installed WDK 8.1
I installed WDK 8.1 Test Pack
I installed everything from this
site and I think that's all what I need for building the sample.
Next I downloaded XPSDrv Driver and Filter Sample from
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowshardware/XPSDrv-Driver-and-Filter-980d24bc (btw. there is a step-by-step tutorial how to build the sample)
1. Open the solution file in Visual Studio 2013 (I opened solution C++\XPSDrvSmpl.sln)
2. Add all non-binary files (usually located in the \install directory of the sample) to the Package project
     a. In the Solution Explorer, right click
Driver Files (HERE IS THE PROBLEM, WHAT IS DRIVER FILES ??? SEE PICTURE BELOW)
     b. Select Add, then click Existing Item
     c. Navigate to the location to which you downloaded the sample, and select all the files in the install directory, or the equivalent set of non-binary files such as INFs, INIs, GPD, PPD files, etc.
     d. Click Add
Look at the picture how does my solution look like:
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help.

So after I add the InstallPackage, I added all the files in the install folder to the driver files. Than I added all the files of the install folder to the package files in the properties of the driver package. I also added all the dlls of the sample to
the package files. Then I edited the inf file:
Change DriverVer to a new date,because the old one is not working.
And this under the driverver:
CatalogFile=xdsmpl.cat
Add this to each Microsoft.xx sections: {GUID}
Should look like this:
[Microsoft.NTx86]
"XPSDrv Sample Driver" = INSTALL_XDSMPL_FILTERS_PRE_VISTA,{GUID}
[Microsoft.NTia64]
"XPSDrv Sample Driver" = INSTALL_XDSMPL_FILTERS_PRE_VISTA,{GUID}
Change the location of the dlls under SourceDisksFiles to 1 or leave it to 2 if you have subfolders for architecures.
So my inf looks like that:

Ordered Iphoto calendar. One picture is blurred and bad. Can I get a new calendar?

Ordered an iphoto calendar for 2015. One picture is blurred and bad. Can I get a new calendar? To whom do I report this problem?
Joan

Maybe - did you preview the calendar -
Before ordering your calendar preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered calendar will match it.
What is the printed size of the image and what are it's pixel dimensions - it need to be no less than 150 DPI for a good, clear print
You can contact Apple at the address included in your order confirmation email and see what they will do - but if the picture is too small reprinting will not help

Satellite P300-1CN - Video Blur and dull

Hi,
I just got my new P300-1CN with Vista installed. but I am disappointed with quality of vide with big 17 inch screen.
When I play live TV from say tvunetworks.com for example, picture is blur and I can see the shadows, and it is not sharp, have difficulty in viewing the video clearly. I checked playing DVD image stored on my external harddrive by installing Divx player and it is same...picture quality is dull. I played same video on my previous laptop (from another manufacture 3.5 years old) and it is crystal clear and bright. And by the way I used to watching livetv from same site on my laptop from another manufacture and it is crystal clear.
I dont know what is the problem, tried changing colour settings, refresh rate and all. But no use.
Can anybody help to understand what is the problem and how to fix it.
Thanks in advance.
VT

Hi All,
Can you please let me know whether this is general problem with LED WXGA+ TFT screens?.....I need to decide whether to buy another laptop of same type or not as I have returned my laptop now.
basically problem is
When I play Live Video from any video site...video seems to have shadows and can see gray areas and blur video. Video is not sharp and bright as compared to my old laptop (4 years old). Pictures are fine, I have also seen some HD video clip downloaded from Internet and that seems to be fine...But since I use my laptop mostly for watching live tv and videos online, it is not useful for me with this problem. I have tried all the ATI Control Center settings, with settings changed there seems to have been improvement in color quality but not the problem video blur and shadow. Problem also exists when stored DVD file played from external harddisk. Tried all the video players like real, windows, divx and VLC.
Thanks

How to Use and Filter Table contents after execution of Bapi

Can anybody guide me how to Use and Filter the table Contents which i got after successful execution of a Bapi
I used Component Controller in my Project
Ex: My table contains Redundant data for a single column but i want to display the column contents with out Redundancy
Name
Raghu
Raghu
Raghu
Debasish
Debasish
I want to filter the table contents and i want to display the table with out Redundancy
and Even when i am using a Dropdown i selected a Column from a Table as the values for that Dropdown but that table is having redundant data and the same data is getting displayed in that Dropdown i want the Dropdown to display data with out redundancy
Thanks

I also got that problem recently and after debuging for a while I figured out, that it was resulting from an error in my table's model: When the model received new items to display I
1.) Fired an delete event for the old items
2.) Fired an insert event for the new items
Problem was that when firing the delete event I didn't already assigned the new items to the model. Therefore it had still the old row count.
Maybe you have also a faulty table model?...

Chart and filter button missing

when I insert a query in a workbook the chart and filter button are missing. We are using netweaver 2004s. is there a way to have them display?

Hi LMM,
There are 2 ways to create workbooks:
1) create a workbook in Excel (create new workbook in Excel thus not via the GUI), insert a query using the Bex analyzer and save using the Bex analyzer.
2) create a query using Bex analyzer, execute the query, save as workbook using Bex analyzer
Option 2) will have the chart and filter buttons.
Option 1) will not have these options.
Assuming you created the workbook using option 1), please recreate the workbook using option 2).
You should now have the chart and filter options.
Please assign points of this solved your problem,
Best Regards,
Filip

PS6 blur and smudge tools malfunctioning

I've had this problem for some time and have yet to find a solution.
Several months ago my blur and smudge tools in Photoshop 6 suddenly began malfunctioning. Any pixel blurred with one of these tools is turned black if the resulting pixel is at less than 100% opacity. It only effects the blur and smudge tools, painting with a 50% opacity brush for example does not result in black pixels. I'm a veteran Photoshop user of many years and am very familiar with all tool options, this is something that literally happened overnight, and permanently. Here's an example image if you need help visualizing the problem:
I've tried wiping PS6 from my PC and freshly installing it in hopes of resolving the issue, but it doesn't appear in my Add/Remove Programs list in control panel and there is no uninstall.exe in the Photoshop folder so the only thing I can do is delete the Photoshop program folder. This of course fails to remove whatever hidden registry files are on my computer though, as evidenced by all my preferences still being intact when I reinstall. I have individually reset the preferences for the blur and smudge tools, as well as deleted the whole Photoshop preferences file by holding Shift+Ctrl+Alt on startup, neither of which has removed the problem. This seems to be a corrupted tool function, not a preference issue.
I've also installed PS6 on an old computer to make sure it isn't a problem with a source file on the CD, and sure enough the blur and smudge tools function correctly.
If anyone else has dealt with this or a similar issue, I'd much appreciate any solution or wisdom you can impart from the experience. Thanks!

Yeah it's bizarre, I've been a PS user for about twelve years and I've never seen this happen before either. I'm convinced something is corrupted in one of my PS program files since I've tried it on a second computer with no problems. I'm sure reformatting would fix it, but...ugh.
Anyway, thanks for trying!
Here's another sample for anyone else following this thread. I think it better illustrates the problem. This is a picture I did in the past using the blur and smudge tools for shading. The girl's nose is on a separate layer. I used the blur tool to soften the side of her nose and the smudge tool to pull at the edges of the layer to blend it with the rest of her skin, which worked correctly as seen in the first panel. The next two panels show what happens when I try those same techniques now with the same tools.
