Can I change what layer is used to name a Smart Object?

I really love smart objects, and in particular I appreciate being able to combine a layer and its adjustment layers into a single smart object. However, when I create smart objects from multiple layers this way, I end up with names like "Hue/Saturation 31" and "Curves 16". Is there a way to set Photoshop to name the smart objects based on the primary layer, so I don't lose the layer names that actually indicate what's in the smart object?
For example, I do a lot of editing and combining groups of "selfies" that people send me. Once I extract them from their backgrounds, I bring them into a single file, with each "selfie" named with the name of the person pictured. So, for example, I'd have a Jane Doe layer, a John Smith layer, etc. Then I add adjustment layers to each one, to match their exposure and color as much as possible. Then, if any of the adjustment layers are not applied evenly to the entire smart object, I combine the smart object and its adjustment layers into a new smart object, so I can move and scale it easily without messing up the alignment of the combined layers. However, then I have to go back to the original files to know who is who.
Smart objects work much better than linked layers, but all the extra steps necessary to re-name them are driving me nuts. Does anyone have a solution?

When I know i'll be transforming or adding additional filters, I prefer to go directly to creating smart objects rather than grouping them first, since the relevant layers are automatically "grouped" by being pulled into the smart object. My thought is that the default name for a smart object (or a group, for that matter) should be the lowest layer on the selected stack that has a non-default name, since in most cases that's the one you'd want to use for the new smart object. I don't know exactly how Photoshop recognizes layer names, but since it knows what number to assign to new layers or individual types of adjustment layers, it should also be able to recognize when a layer name is not a default name.

How can I change excel column header using Labile.

Dear Experts,
                      How can i change excel column header using LabVIEW.
Thanks for any and all help!

As I said in my previous post, column headers in Excel are merely row 1 cells. May be I missing something here, so please be more explicit with your question.
I guess you are using the Excel Report tools, and you want to modify an existing sheet. From my limited experience with the Excel Report tools, it is not possible to open an existing woorkbook (except as template...), so the answer to your question should be "Forget it"...
The work around is to use the example I pointed for you before, and either to write the whole new colum headers as a string array, starting in A1, or to write a single string to a given cell in row 1.
Hope this helps

I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program

HI All
I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to it's frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program .
I used IMAQ AVI Read Frame VI
for example I have avi video It's frame rate is 25 fbs ,my image processing code is very fast that can process more 25 fbs,so I want to accelerate video acquisition

Hi abdelhady,
I looked into this further, and reading an AVI file into LabVIEW faster than its frames per second won't be possible. LabVIEW could read in frames faster than 25fps, but because it will be pulling the available frame at that point in time this would just give you duplicate frames. If you want to be able to read in frames at faster than 25fps, you would need to speed up your AVI file before reading into LabVIEW.
There's a good shipping example to show how to read in from an AVI file, "Read AVI File.vi". You'll notice that they add timing to make sure that the while loop runs at the right speed to match up with the frames per second of the file being read. This is to make sure you're not reading duplicate frames.
Thank you,

You cannot change your iTunes country unless you are really moving to another country, nor can you change country association for a gift card. Give it as a gift to a friend who lives in the country of origin for the card.

Can we change the layer's opacity?

Can we change the layer's opacity in flash CS4? Such as change the photoshop's layer's opactiy.

No and yes.
No. A layer is just for stacking things and organizing your artwork. So there is no way to change a whole layer.
Yes. Movie clip, graphic, and button symbols are the main paradigms in Flash and each of them can have their transparency altered. (In Flash is is called alpha.) So convert your artwork into a movieclip or graphic and then from the properties panel look for the color effects drop down and change the alpha.
Or you can draw your art with colors that already have an alpha value set.

Can we change the system date using Sql

can we change the system date using Sql statement..
can anyone help
Tariq.

There is an initialization parameter called FIXED_DATE which lets you set a fixed sysdate for testing purposes, and you can alter that date using the ALTER SYSTEM command, but as implied by the name you are setting a data/time that doesn't change. Since the normal sysdate is derived from the O/S it cannot be altered through SQL

How can i change mx:Label /Label using css?

Dear Experts,
It is funny that <mx:Label> </mx:Label> doesn't have property to change the background color.
Does anyone know how can i change <mx:Label></Label> using css?
Regards,

I think you have set the backgroundcolor for Label in Flex4...? In Flex3 doesn'y allow to set the background color directly...However you can use this work around if you want to set the background color.
You can also set the color for textField in the code below by using the textField styleSheet property.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" creationComplete="applyBGtoLabel()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.Text;
private function applyBGtoLabel():void{
var textField:TextField = new TextField();textField = myLabel.mx_internal::getTextField();
textField.background =
true;textField.backgroundColor = 0xFF0000;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Label id="myLabel" text="Apply a background color for me....please" height="25" />
</mx:Application>

Where can I change the font settings for the name of the month in iPhoto's calendar project?

where can I change the font settings for the name of the month in iPhoto's calendar project? I just ordered two copies of a calendar I designed in iPhoto and was surprised to find that the calendar's months were printing in something like an Arial 10 pt font. On previous calendars I've printer via iPhoto and Apple, the font was much larger. I've tried every menu option in iPhoto and the Calendar Project program and can't find where this is modifyable. Which leads me to ask, what the heck happened here in the first place? I did not consciously change the default.
I do remember that I got some notice when I first tried to print the calendar about the default font having been changed, but I don't know how this could have happened, and I didn't know what impact that had on the calendar until it was delivered. I typically print about a dozen annual calendars but won't buy another until I've got a handle on this problem. For the most part, the rest of the calendar is okay.
As a P.S. is there anywhere where one can get a power user's manual, or instruction on iPhoto?

"Maximum" and "12" usually refer to compression (influencing image quality and jpeg file size in bytes); and as Curt wrote, dpi is meaningless for display by and viewing in web browsers. (It could be a different matter if you are uploading the jpeg files for someone to download from the web to print.)
What are the sequence of steps that you and your batch processing take from Bridge?
You can use call Photoshop's Image Processor from Bridge to create the jpeg files (Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor). In the Image Processor you can set jpeg compression, pixel dimensions if desired, also convert to sRGB (good idea for web display). In my experience the image processor leaves unchanged whatever dpi is set in the source file; or, if none there as might be for a pdf, it will set the dpi value in your New Document Preset Print Resolution (from your Photoshop Units & Rulers preferences).

My iCloud on my iPad is in my ex partners name and I don't no his password . How can I change the username in 2 my name ?

iCloud from an account perspective is associated with the AppleID. Unless you have the password, there's nothing you can do to modify it.
As suggested, you just want to create your own and reassocited the iPad with your new one. You will lose data and purchased apps, however. Basically, you will be starting from scratch.

Can't change parent/layer in CS3

I've been running into this problem alot in the last 6 months and I'm finally fed up. Basically, at some point while working on my CS3 projects, something unknown to me happens and I can no longer change a layers parent with the drop down box, same thing goes for layer control drop down boxes in the effects panel. Now, I can still change a layers parent with the pick whip, which is why I've just lived with the issue. But I've now run into a problem where I'm using a Layer Control expression effect and I cannot change the layer at all there. I click it and nothing happens, no response at all. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Please be more specific. Provide info about the number of layers per comp, comp settings, what items are referenced/ used using the layer controls etc.. Also provide screenshots (use the camera icon to attach)/ info about the structure of the project or the project itself. I've never encountered such issues myself, but it is imaginable that too many references/ too many layers create some sort of overflow that prevents the list from being drawn or populated correctly.

Can't change Airport Extreme settings using WPA2 Enterprise

I have a 4th Gen Airport Extreme Base Station that is running 7.6.1 firmware and I've updated the Airport Utility to 6.0 and OS X Server to 10.7.3
I use WPA2 Enterprise using the Radius Server set up from the Server admin tools in Lion Server. I am using my CA signed certificate for the server as my server-side cert. I can connect fine to the wireless network with all my idevices and my MacBook Pro, but whenever I use Airport Utility to amend settings of the Base Station e.g. Back to my Mac, I cannot make updates.
Whenever I click 'Update' I get the following error - 'Invalid value' The value for "Password" is invalid. When I click Review Settings, it takes me to the Shared Secret settings for the connection, but as far as I'm concerned this never needs to be known or changed.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem.. Airport utility 6.0 on 4th gen airport extreme and server 10.7.4.
DNS, Radius and Open Directory.
Any update on Airport Util results in "'Invalid value' The value for "Password" is invalid"
Only work around I've found like above is to set network mode to "off" under wireless tab. Update Airport Utility ... then remove/add my base station in Server admin under 'radius' 'base stations' ..
Really very annoying because what I actually want to change is the WPA/WPA2 to WPA2 ONLY.
By default when the base station is added in 'server admin' it sets it as WPA/WPA2 and there is no option to change or control this in 'server admin'... so basically I can not change this option.
I thought maybe that 'invalid' characters (for the airport) where being used by server admin when it generates the 'shared secret' .. so have tried changing to a very simple shared secret in 'airport utility' ... but I still get the same error - "The value for "Password" is invalid"
I will try downgrading to 5.6 but this really is very annoying especially as its a fault that has been allowed to rollover into 10.7.4 !!!!
Sort it out Apple!
