Change Twist Filter on Vector from "Virtual Filter Effect" to "Actual Vector"

Have applied Twist Filter to a Vector Graphic, it applies "virtual kind" of twist effect to graphic, so far so good.
However, I am trying to solidify effect so that it is no longer "virtual", and can apply further tweaks to the graphic. The desired process would be similar to "Creating Outlines" with regard to typographical characters. That is the best I can explain it.
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

Thanks Scott,
That worked perfectly !

Global Change or filter based on Min and Max dates

Hi Guys,
Hopefully there is a genius out there that is an expert with filters and or global changes, I am after a solution and can’t work out if it is possible to do in P6.
Based on a filter (using codes to select a group of activities) I want to write a value into two date UDF Fields can I:
Run a global change to give the earliest and latest date in the group and write the result to all tasks in the group? or
Is there a mindate maxdate option in Global change or filter? Or
If these tasks were grouped in the activity view can a global change be written to fill down the dates that the summary level is displaying, which are essentially the min and max dates of the groups.
I could do this pretty easily in excel but I have over a 100 projects and doing the import one at a time is not feasible.
I could create LOE’s but as my variables are constantly changing and due to the volume also not an option.
Summary bars are not an option eithers as I am writing the UDF’s to get all the bars I want on one line,
An option for me might be to do it using Legare but I would prefer to see if I can get it done in P6 first.
Cheers
Rob

Yes, you can do it in one report.
I created a sample report from efashion:
Year | Lines | Sales Revenue
2001 | Accessories | $250
2003 | Accessories | $550
2001 | City Skirts | $1050
2003 | City Skirts | $1150...........
Create 2 variables 1) Count and 2) Difference:
1) Count as formula - =Count([Lines]) In Report
2) Difference as formula - =Sum([Sales revenue]) Where (Max([Year]) In Report = [Year]) - Sum([Sales revenue]) Where (Min([Year]) In Report = [Year])
You can replace the formula with your report variables. Then just drag Site ID, Count and Difference variables to your report.
Thanks

How NOT to edit SSIS dtsx packages manually to change config filter in SQL Server configuration schema

I have many packages that are using the package configuration with the following way:
-ALL Packages have the XML configuration file that has only one proporty defined. The ConnectionString of the SQL Server connection that holds the configuration table for the rest of the properties
-A SEPARATE SQL Server package configuration for
each connection manager in the package.
-Finally an SQL Server configuration for all the properties that are specific to this package.
I attach a pic of what i mean: Yellow is the XML config with the connectionstring, Blue the connectionamangers and purple the package specific.
So with this setup i can:
-Change the xml file location and just point all the setup in another sql server or another database.
- Or create different configuration filters in the same config table and try to go into the package and change the filter.
With all the above the problem is that if i do anything from within VS, i am loosing the password in the connectionstring because i am not using the encrypt property. And i dont want to use it...
What are my options? Just go in .dtsx with notepad and chage what i want BEFORE i open the package or before i deploy?
Elias

You are correct but:
-I dont want to use EncryptSensitiveWithPassword, so:
When i go to package configuration and try to change the ConfoigurationFilter to point to another setting then i am getting to the screen to select the property (connectionstring) and when i finish the DATABASE record for the setting is cleared from the
Password= that i have put previously.
So i short what i want:
-No EncryptSensitiveWithPassword
-Being able to change configuration from within VS WITHOUT resetting the connectionstring string.
Elias
Nope what you're asking is not possible
There's certainly a purpose why each of things are given in the current format
For design level settings you need to use connection manager properties and for it to persist values for someone other than creator to use you need to use protection level as EncryptSensitiveWithPassword
And for runtime settings you need to specify values in config which has to be editted from outside the package by editing dtsconfig file or using update query depending on whether config is stored in file/table. In both the cases you can identify password
as a separate config item and modify its value from outside. That will work regardless of what you chose as protection level

Changing a Filter Over Time

I've had a lot of trouble with this. I'm trying to change a filter over time (i.e. make a voice get more reverberative as it continues). I've had a little luck with some filters--some of the options for the filter show up on the envelope line so I can set key frames, but more often than not, nothing shows up there at all, or what does show up there is not the option I want to change.
For example, say I want to change pitch over time. The only option that shows up that I can set key frames for is the delay rather than the pitch.
I know I'm missing something simple here.

So, I take it that you're in STP, working on a multi-track project.
In the lower left on the effects tab, go to the correct track/effect you want to change, and click the disclosure triangle to show all of the parameters. Check the box to the right of each parameter you want to change over time, and it will be added to the available envelopes.
Hope this helps!

How to retain filter effects from photoshop

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to retain filter effects in
an image in photoshop and import into flash.
(ie.Overlay, lighten, screen, etc.)
Is this possible and if so will it slow down the speed of the
swf. file by a massive amount?
Cheers

You can apply (most of) these same filters and blend modes to
any image using only Flash 8
or
You can save the file out of photoshop as a png, gif, or jpg
file. The filter effect will be "flattened" into the final image

Creating a gif that is a progression of filter effects

I want to take a single image and create a gif from it that is a sequence of frames with a particular Photoshop filter effect going from a maximum to zero effect. Lets take for example a Gaussian filter. The initial frame would have a heavy Gaussian filter applied and the last frame would have no filter applied. I want the effect to take maybe a second or two with 10 to 20 frames per second.
I don't imagine this will be trivial or easy... that's not my question. My question is if anyone has suggestions on how to optimize the work flow in creating this effect.
I'm a programmer and I've done photoshop javascript programs in the distant distant past if that might help but I'm not sure if this project requires that level of effort.
Thank you for your time,
pedzsan

Yes. This is much easier than I expected. The wonders of progress.
There are two ways to do it. Your method is more general purpose and more accurately accomplishes my original objective. Another method is to make one duplicate layer and apply the filter to it. Then create a video timeline and change the opacity of that layer from 100% at the beginning of the time period to 0% at the end of the time period (two "key frames" ?). Then export the gif.
Thank you for your reply,
pedzan

Filter Effect and Layer Style in the same layer vs separate layers

I'm adjusting a photographic image and am using both a filter effect and a layer style in the same layer on a Smart Object. I want to separate the two effects into two layers, so one layer has the filter effect (Nik) and one layer has the layer style (Color Overlay) (with the goal of merging/rasterizing the Nik filter effect with the Smart Object but keeping the layer style unmerged). I can make two layers and move one effect without problem, but the visual result of each effect on a separate layer is quite different from having both effects in the same layer. The Blend Mode for all my layers is Normal. Within the Color Overlay panel, the blend mode is Linear Burn.
I don't understand why the visual result is different. I'm not an advanced user of Photoshop, so maybe I'm missing something. This is a trial of CS6 that I'm using.
Layer 1: a layer style and a filter effect, stacked
looks very different from....
Layer 2: a layer style
Layer 1: a filter effect

If you want two separate layers, then on the duplicate layer with the Color Overlay layer style you might try different layer blending modes.
For example, below looks the same having the Color Overlay with linear burn on the second layer and changing the layers blend mode to Hue.
You could also put the layer in a group and apply the layer style to the group.

Printing from Virtual PC in 10.4.8

I haven’t been able to print from Virtual PC 7.0.2 since upgrading a few
days ago to OS X 10.4.8 (iMac G5). I don’t know whether the O / S change is
causing this, or something else. Has anyone else had this problem?

Moments after I posted this topic, I heard from the guy who maintains our office's computers. He has had several problems with 10.4.8, including a mangled server. He attributes my Virtual PC printing problem to 10.4.8. If anyone else has had this problem, I'd like to hear about it.
I suppose what I need to do now is figure out how I can restore 10.4.7. I back up my files and applications, but never the system.

How to transfer files from virtual machine to host machine

Hello,
I want to know how to copy files from virtual machine o host machine while the virtual machine running. I can't share files from virtual machine because i am just studying for mcsa in company computer. I can't connect my virtual machine to same network so
i'm using a different ip range and i created a internal network switch for my virtual machines in hyper-v. Please give me a best solution for my studies.
Regards,
Ashane Deshapriya.

Finally I got the solution...
Here is how you can share files between a Hyper-V host and any virtual machines running on that host.
If you've used Microsoft Virtual PC or Microsoft Virtual Server, you'll have enjoyed the fact that you can copy and paste between a virtual machine and those platforms. This doesn’t work with Hyper-V however—you can't copy/paste between a VM and the Hyper-V
host.
The workaround is to do the following:
1. On your Hyper-V host, create a shared folder and assign Change permission to Everyone.
2. On the virtual machine running on the host, open the Network and Sharing Center and enable File and Printer Sharing.
3. On the virtual machine, click Start and type \\host_name\share_name where host_name is the name of your Hyper-V host and share_name is the name of the share you created.
4. Press ENTER and an Explorer window will open in the VM showing the contents of the shared folder on the host.
5. You can now copy files from the VM to the host and vice versa as needed.

Pdf files become pixelated when filter effects are applied...

I have some pdf files in my Motion 4 project. When I uncheck the "fixed resolution" box, they pdf files look great. But when I proceed to add any filter effect like any of the Glow filters, the pdf file becomes all pixelated and looks horrible. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
- Nick

Filters fix the resolution, rasterizing the vector graphics. Try make it very large, the apply the filter to the containing layer and shrink the layer to be the desired size...

Why is photoshop cc changing dimensions of illustrator vectors?

How and why is photoshop cc changing the dimensions of vector images from illustrator cc?
Copy and paste has been a regular part of my workflow for years, going back since CS2.

Blue filter effect on non-apple displays

Hey,
i am still waiting for my new mac pro and researching to buy a minimum of 24" display for it. I used Imacs before so I am used to Apple's original colors and tones. However my wife's powerbook is hooked up to a 23" gateway HD 2275w monitor and the colors really suck on that monitor. It is nowhere near the powerbooks' tones. Color calibration of apple's system preferences also don't seen to be able to ix it. Anybody out there has experience w non-apple displays? Is there a way to overcome that "blue filter effect" on a non-apple display?
Thanks,
M

Color on LCDs can be affected by the backlighting. Flouresent backlights run a a significant gamut of color from warm red to cool blue.

How can I transfer my photo taken with iPhone5 filters maintaining filter effects ? I always have colored photo without filter effect on my iMac !!!

How can I transfer my photo taken with iPhone5 filters maintaining filter effects ? I always have colored photo without filter effect on my iMac !!!

no completely satisfactory answer but you can :
1) email photos to yourself (tedious if you have a lot of filtered)
2) create shared file in iPhone and bring into iPhoto (and maybe Aperture - not tested yet) with filter effects
3) import to iPhoto and add effects from there (likely needs latest version to mirror iPhone filter)
see this thread for more explanation on these workarounds: iPhone isn't transferring photos taken with built-in filters
