Carving into a tree - need some help

So I am trying to take an image of a tree trunk (or a school desk, or a wooden door) and "carve" a heart with some people's names into it and make it look somewhat realistic, as if they carved their names into it themselves. I am not completely new to photoshop, I can find my way around and have edited several other projects. I am, however, completely stumped on how to do this one. Please help! Let me know if you need any more info.

I would spell it out, but better people have already done it!
First two hits on google:

Need some help in creating Search Help for standard screen/field

I need some help in adding a search-help to a standard screen-field.
Transaction Code - PP01,
Plan Version - Current Plan (PLVAR = '01'),
Object Type - Position ( OTYPE = 'S'),
Click on Infotype Name - Object ( Infotype 1000) and Create.
I need to add search help to fields Object Abbr (P1000-SHORT) / Object Name (P1000-STEXT).
I want to create one custom table with fields, Position Abb, Position Name, Job. Position Abb should be Primary Key. And when object type is Position (S), I should be able to press F4 for Object Abb/Object Name fields and should return Position Abbr and Position Name.
I specify again, I have to add a new search help to standard screen/field and not to enhance it.
This is HR specific transaction. If someone has done similar thing with some other transation, please let me know.
There is no existing search help for these fields. If sm1 ever tried or has an idea how to add new search help to a standard screen/field.
It's urgent.
Thanks in advace. Suitable answers will be rewarded

A search help exit is a function module for making the input help process described by the search help more flexible than possible with the standard version.
This function module must have the same interface as function module F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE. The search help exit may also have further optional parameters (in particular any EXPORTING parameters).
A search help exit is called at certain timepoints in the input help process.
Note: The source text and long documentation of the above-specified function module (including the long documentation about the parameters) contain information about using search help exits.
Function modules are provided in the function library for operations that are frequently executed in search help exits. The names of these function modules begin with the prefix F4UT_. These function modules can either be used directly as search help exits or used within other search help exits. You can find precise instructions for use in the long documentation for the corresponding function module.
During the input help process, a number of timepoints are defined that each define the beginning of an important operation of the input help process.
If the input help process is defined with a search help having a search help exit, this search help exit is called at each of these timepoints. If required, the search help exit can also influence the process and even determine that the process should be continued at a different timepoint.
timepoints
The following timepoints are defined:
1. SELONE
Call before selecting an elementary search help. The possible elementary search helps are already in SHLP_TAB. This timepoint can be used in a search help exit of a collective search help to restrict the selection possibilities for the elementary search helps.
Entries that are deleted from SHLP_TAB in this step are not offered in the elementary search help selection. If there is only one entry remaining in SHLP_TAB, the dialog box for selecting elementary search helps is skipped. You may not change the next timepoint.
The timepoint is not accessed again if another elementary search help is to be selected during the dialog.
2. PRESEL1
After selecting an elementary search help. Table INTERFACE has not yet been copied to table SELOPT at this timepoint in the definition of the search help (type SHLP_DESCR_T). This means that you can still influence the attachment of the search help to the screen here. (Table INTERFACE contains the information about how the search help parameters are related to the screen fields).
3. PRESEL
Before sending the dialog box for restricting values. This timepoint is suitable for predefining the value restriction or for completely suppressing or copying the dialog.
4. SELECT
Before selecting the values. If you do not want the default selection, you should copy this timepoint with a search help exit. DISP should be set as the next timepoint.
5. DISP
Before displaying the hit list. This timepoint is suitable for restricting the values to be displayed, e.g. depending on authorizations.
6. RETURN (usually as return value for the next timepoint)
The RETURN timepoint should be returned as the next step if a single hit was selected in a search help exit.
It can make sense to change the F4 flow at this timepoint if control of the process sequence of the Transaction should depend on the selected value (typical example: setting SET/GET parameters). However, you should note that the process will then depend on whether a value was entered manually or with an input help.
7. RETTOP
You only go to this timepoint if the input help is controlled by a collective search help. It directly follows the timepoint RETURN. The search help exit of the collective search help, however, is called at timepoint RETTOP.
8. EXIT (only for return as next timepoint)
The EXIT timepoint should be returned as the next step if the user had the opportunity to terminate the dialog within the search help exit.
9. CREATE
The CREATE timepoint is only accessed if the user selects the function "Create new values". This function is only available if field CUSTTAB of the control string CALLCONTROL was given a value not equal to SPACE earlier on.
The name of the (customizing) table to be maintained is normally entered there. The next step returned after CREATE should be SELECT so that the newly entered value can be selected and then displayed.
10. APP1, APP2, APP3
If further pushbuttons are introduced in the hit list with function module F4UT_LIST_EXIT, these timepoints are introduced. They are accessed when the user presses the corresponding pushbutton.
Note: If the F4 help is controlled by a collective search help, the search help exit of the collective search help is called at timepoints SELONE and RETTOP. (RETTOP only if the user selects a value.) At all other timepoints the search help exit of the selected elementary search help is called.
If the F4 help is controlled by an elementary search help, timepoint RETTOP is not executed. The search help exit of the elementary search help is called at timepoint SELONE (at the
F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE
This module has been created as an example for the interface and design of Search help exits in Search help.
All the interface parameters defined here are mandatory for a function module to be used as a search help exit, because the calling program does not know which parameters are actually used internally.
A search help exit is called repeatedly in connection with several
events during the F4 process. The relevant step of the process is passed on in the CALLCONTROL step. If the module is intended to perform only a few modifications before the step, CALLCONTROL-STEP should remain unchanged.
However, if the step is performed completely by the module, the following step must be returned in CALLCONTROL-STEP.
The module must react with an immediate EXIT to all steps that it does not know or does not want to handle.
Hope this info will help you.

My airport problem has returned big time --Need some Help!!

Aloha once again:
I though that this was fixed by simply changing channels on my airport router, but that fix only lasted for a few days, but now it's back and even worse. Let me give you some background on this problem. Here's my original message concerning the problem:
I have my Airport Router connected to the Internet via DSLcable. I then tie my two computers into the internet via their airport cards. For about 6 months this system has been working just fine. Recently my desktop computer quit listening to the router and can no longer connect to the internet. It shows no signal strength and the name of the network on the Airport is not seen in the "connect to internet" panel. The same Airport works just fine on my LapTop and I am using it right now to get this message off to the internet.
I have fixed permissions, removed the airport card and cleaned the connector, the antenna plug and removed the system configuration folder from library preferences all to no avail!
This problem has been hounding me, intermittently, for over a year now What can I do to remedy this??? HELP!!!!
Dan Page
Maui, Hawaii
The suggestion to change channels, that came from this original request, worked but just for a very short time. Now I have to shut down my computer overnight to get connected and then it only lasts for several hours and the connection quits.
I thought maybe heat was a problem, but the last time it happened I opened the computer and played a large fan right on the card. This did not help. I shut it down for the night and it was fine the next morning for about 2 hours.
One new data point; if I turn off just the airport on my laptop computer overnight, that will fix the problem for a short time also.
Still need some help!!!
Dan

First, power off both the Time Capsule and AirPort Express.
Wait a few minutes, then power up the Time Capsule first, and let it run for a few minutes.
Temporarily, move the AirPort Express to the same room or close proximity to the AirPort Express and power it up.
If the Express powers up correctly, power it off again and move it approximately half the distance between the Time Capsule and the general area that needs more wireless coverage. Try to minimize obstructions like walls, ceiling, heavy furniture, etc as much as possible.
Please report on your results.

Hi, can anyone help me out with this, I need some help on designing GUI for e-learning coursewares. Some tutorials or some helpful sites will do.

I need some help with the GUI design.

Have you tried the line inputs on the back of your FirePod? If you update its firmware (not sure if you will need to or not), I seem to remember hearing that the FirePod can run without FW connection, i.e. stand alone. In this mode with the outs from your mixer into line ins 1-2 (2nd from left on the back) it should work fine. I say should because I have never tried. However, these are used for returns from an external effects unit. I assume here, and the important word is assume, that there are two so that they can be used as a stereo send or as a mono send. Worth a try! Let us know how it goes.
Best, Fred

Need some help with a remove function

Design and code a program that will maintain a list of product names. Use a String type to represent the product name and an array of strings to implement the list. Your program must implement the following methods:
Add a product to the list
Remove a product from the list
Display then entire list
Find out if a particular product is on the list.
You need to create a command command loop with a menu() function. The program must continue asking for input until the user stops.
This is the assignment and this is what I have so far. I need some help writing the remove function.
Thanks

I need help removing a product from the arrayYes. So what's your problem?
"Doctor, I need help."
"What's wrong?"
"I need help!"
Great.
By the way, you can't remove anything from an array. You'll have to copy the remaining stuff into a new one, or maybe maintain a list of "empty" slots. Or null the slots and handle that. The first way will be the easiest though.

Need some help with downloading PDF's from the net.

need some help with downloading PDF's from the net. Each time I try to click on a link from a website, if it takes me to a new screen to view a pdf, it just comes up as a blank black screen? any suggestions?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Thank you for all your response!
I had changes this work area into Internal table and changed the select query. PLease let me know if this causes any performance issues?

I had removed the select single and insted of using the Structure it_rej, I had changed it into Internal table
select vkorg abgru from ZADS into it_rej.
Earlier :

Trying to make a photo contest need some help

Trying to make a photo contest need some help. I am running a
fish photo contest on my website and was wondering if any of you
could give me some advice on some good extensions to help me do
this easier. Basically I want a page where people upload a file and
then it automatically resizes the image and puts it on a page,
where people can vote on the pictures.

Hi Pilot,
Column B contains the sale amounts.
Column C will contain the tax amounts.
I'm assuming a header row, and the first line of data to be row 2.
In C2, enter: =B*20%
Click Accept, then use the mouse to drag the small round handle at the lower right of the selected cell (C2) to fill the formula into the rest of the cells in column C.
This simple version of the formula will put zeros in all column C cells where no amount has been entered in the corresponding cell in column B. The revised formula below takes care of that.
C2: =IF(B,B*20%,"")
I'd strongly suggest that 'rookies', as you describe yourself, download and read both the Numbers User Guide and the Functions and Formulas User Guide. Both are available from the Help menu in Numbers. If you use Pages and Keynote, you should use the Help menu in those applications to download their User Guides as well. The guides are searchable pdf files, well written, easy to read, and useful to rookies and old hands as well.

Need some help with guitar setup...

jeez, never thought i'd be asking a question like this after playing for like 20 years, but i need some help with a guitar setup for mac. i'm gonna list out a lot of crap here that prolly doesn't affect anything at all, but here goes.
Imac 17inch G4 - latest updated OS X... 10.4, or 5, or whatever. garageband 3.0
digitech gnx-3
alesis sr-16
sure mic's
yamaha e203 keyboard
here's the setup:
yamaha is on its own on a usb uno midi interface, sure's connected to gnx's xlr port, alesis connected to gnx's jam-a-long input, '87 kramer vanguard connected to gnx's guitar input. currently running headphones out on gnx to line in on mac.
here's the problem:
everything works beautifully, but my guitar sounds like crap. if i plug headphones into the gnx, it sounds beautiful. that makes me think its some kind of level issue between the gnx's output, and the mac's input, but nothing seems to fix it.
by sounding like crap, i mean way too much bass. sound is muddy, blurry, not crisp... aka crap. i've tried altering both output and input on mac and gnx, and i cant get a combination that works. the gnx has a s/pdif out, can the mac accept that as input? might that help? short of running the gnx to my marshal half stack and mic'ing that, anyone have any suggestions, or use a similar setup?
any help would be greatly appreciated!

anyone? ... any suggestions? I think it might be an issue with the gnx pre-amping the signal as it goes out, and then the mac amping it on the way in, giving me a buttload more signal than i need, but since i cant find a happy level, i'm not really sure. i really dont want to resort to mic'ing my marshall... even with the volume almost off, my jcm900 is WAY too loud for apartment use. its not like i really NEED the guitar to sound perfect, i only use garageband to sketch out ideas for songs between myself and bandmates, but its really annoying to not have my customary crisp distortion. my bass player keeps telling me to use the built in amps, but, not to dis a practically free program, but the built in amps blow, at least after 10 years of marshall tube amplification they do. if anyone has any suggestions that might be helpfull on how i might resolve this, i would be your best friend for life and go to all your birthday parties

(MEASURES.SIGNEDDATA,
CLOSINGPERIOD(%TIMEDIM%.
%TIMEBASELEVEL%))
This formula is used to retrieve AST & LEQ account values.
If current time member is at monthlevel ,ie ClosingPeriod of 2011.FEB is the current member it self ,and would retrieve 2011.FEB value.
If Current time member is at quarter level then ClosingPeriod of 2011.Q1 is 2011.Mar ,and would retrieve 2011.MAR value.
If Current time member is at year level then ClosingPeriod of 2011.TOTAL is 2011.DEC ,and would retrieve 2011.DEC value.
Formula 1 :
MEASURES.SIGNEDDATA
Irrespective of the level of the Time , MEASURES.SIGNEDDATA would retrieve current Time member value.This formula is used to retrieve INC & EXP account values
if current time member is at month level,2011.FEB , 2011.FEB value is retrieved.
if current time member is at quarter level,2011.Q1 , 2011.Q1(JANFEBMAR) value is retrieved.
if current time member is at year level,2011.TOTAL , 2011.TOTAL(JAN,FEB,....,DEC) value is retrieved.
Hope this helps.

Need some help with sound quality

Hi guys, new here. I'm working on creating an album on my own. Bass and vocals are real, everything else is using software instruments. I have about 8 songs done, but the problem is I don't really know what I'm doing as far as recording and levels go.
I'm using studio headphones and everything sounds fantastic through them, and even pretty good if I just hook up some earbuds, but when I bounce out a track and burn them to do a disc and play it in my car, it sounds awful. Suddenly the guitar is too low, drums are too loud.
I really need some help here. I'm even willing to pay someone to get me on the right track. Using paypal or whatever.

Where's the fun in that? Maybe you have different motives, but I got into home recording because I like doing things myself, even if I have to learn the hard way. If you know enough to get good bass and vocal recordings and mix that with virtual instruments, then you are well on your way to making a decent sounding mix. Mixing in headphones can be very deceiving. Things simply sound different in headphones. You need some monitors, even if they are crappy because if you can get it to sound good in crappy monitors it will likely sound good on other speakers.
The fun and experience comes from getting a good balance that sounds good in headphones, and in the monitors, and in your home stereo, and in your car stereo. Use the different audio systems as a reference. If the drums are too quiet in the car, bring them up a bit. If the bass is too loud in your headphones, put them down a bit.
If you bring in your recordings to be mixed by somebody else, first of all you're going to end up paying hundreds, if not $1000+ dollars, even in a sub-par studio. Secondly, it's never going to sound how you want it to sound. It's going to sound how THEY want it to sound.
I know it takes longer, and it's hard work, but you will have such a tremendous amount of satisfaction when your project is done knowing that YOU recording it, and YOU mixed it on YOUR equipment. It will be 100% yours.
Where's the fun? How about the fun in interacting with another human being? How about the satisfaction in having another validate what you've been trying to produce?
I don't think it's helpful to make generalizations about what type of experience the OP might have in getting professional help. I have had good experiences working with mixing engineers, and perhaps I have just been lucky, but I've been able to produce music that sounded how I wanted it to sound, but at a level beyond which my skill at the time would have been able to produce, AND I gained some insights to help me in the future.
It IS satisfying to teach yourself a new skill. And it takes a lot of patience, trial and error, and you might miss the mark more often than you hit it. If you're in a rush, it might be a viable solution to contact some studios and see if you can work with them. Learning from others is perfectly acceptable.
