Collapse multiply layers with different transparency into a single solid filled layer

Hi,
I want to collapse a complex scene with all different layers and different transparency into a single layer (or as few as possible) to optimize the flash file for online (were experince proformance issues).
I have tried the combine and manually copying pasting into one layer but it cuts the fill below and replace with transparent fill. I want to have a end file that is 100% solid.
Is this possible?
Thank you
Darren

You can create groups and then paste all your groups in a single layer. That won't 'cut' them into each other and the transparency should be maintained. It won't help you with performance though, since the complexity remains the same.
If you have tons of complex vector shapes, it might be a good idea to create a transparent PNG bitmap from illustrator.
That may increase your filesize but it will give you a tremendous performance boost.

Ability to process several raw files with the same content but with different exposure into the single picture

Can you add to the Lightroom an ability to process several raw files with the same content but with different exposure into the single picture?
Base raw files can be given with exposure bracketing during shooting, for example.
The goal - to get maximum details in darks and lights (if we use the "ligths recovery" or "fill lights" we lose the quality because raw file just have no all required information).
The similar (but not the same, only the idea) thing - is High Dynamic Range Photography in Adobe Photoshop
Thank you

The plugin LR/Enfuse does this already. And of course Photomatix have a plugin available for Lightroom. This essentially amounts to pixel editing, which is beyond the range of Lightroom's metadata editing.

In I-Tunes, how can I consolidate multiple copies of the same album with different tracks into one file in my library screen?

In Windows 7 , I tunes library/ albums, I have many albums ( all the same) with different tracks in each.
Is it possible to consolidate the multiple cover photos into one ?

Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things, if not see Grouping tracks into albums.

Transforming xml file with different elements into HTML

hi all !
i have an xml object that has been generated from database using java. the xml file has numerous elements that have been merged into single file. all elements have been got from different table :-
<?xml version = '1.0' ?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW id= "1">
<EMPID>1</EMPID>
<EMPADDRESS>H 3 STREET 4</EMPADDRESS>
<EMPPHONE>98764653</EMPPHONE>
</ROW>
<ROW id="2">
<EMPID>5</EMPID>
<EMPQUAL>GRADE 12</EMPQUAL>
<EMPGRADE>A</EMPGRADE>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
(its just a sample data, might not be wel formed)
as it shows that each element "ROW" has data corresponding to different employee and with different details. actually these elemnt are the updates in an employee profile that have to be communicated to a distant located database. what i need is a tranformation into HTML so that the recieving user can view this file as html with relative headings of corresponding tables.
(the schema at both ends is exact replica)
any help in this regards would be obliging.

thank you bro!
the xml file has been created by importing multiple files resulted from XSU into a master file in java. we are running a web based project in a distributed environment. so i would need to make this page appear in a web browser with ACCEPT and REJECT command buttons as the receiver is the approving agent. what all i have thought of so far is to create a style sheet with templates of all heading of each table from where the data is coming from and then run a check on what table the data is from and place that specific heading on the entry. the style sheet would be placed at both ends so only the xml file will be transported and transformation would be done auto.
i hope it works. but am not sure wether its the right approach or not.

Error when transfer 2 oil materials with different UoMs into 1

Hi experts,
I have an urgent & tough issue like this:
Our customer have a process of transferring 2 materials with 2 different base-unit-of-measure into one single material. See the following example for better understanding.
Material 1: Mazut measured in Kg
Material 1: Diesel measured in L15
Some time Mazut seem to have very bad quality and need to be qualified before selling out, so our customer merge Mazut and Diesel together to improve the quality of Mazut. But it seems to be impossible in SAP.
I've asked SAP support but no luck, it's been designed that way.
I want to know whether other Oil projects encountered this before and what was the solution? Otherwise can you tell me how do they manage these 2 kinds of materials?
Thank you very much,
Best regards,

Hi,
I just one to know: What is the based unit of Diesel (Mazut) in other oil&gas company in the would?
If you have any information of based unit of Diesel that is difference with DiepDH case. Please let us know.
Thank so much,
Huyen

Mix source data with different granularity into the same fact table?

I have two transaction tables "Incident (157 columns)" and "Unit (70 Colums)". For every "Incident" that happens there could be one or more records in the "Unit" table.
As part of my data mart design, I have merged both the tables into a single Fact "Incident Fact (227 Columns)" and inserted the records from both the tables with a join condition between them [incident.IN_NUM = Unit.IN_NUM].
Is this correct, is my question? or am I mixing source data with different granularity in the same fact table. Appreciate your help.
Best Regards
Bees

Bees,
Are the measures from 'Incident' , repeated for a given incident where it has more than one record in the Unit table ? If so, then the sum(indicent.measure) will give an incorrect result, no ?
What requirement is there to physically merge the tables together outside of OBIEE? With OBIEE you could have one logical 'fact' table to present to report users, which sourced from seperate Incidents and Units tables and would stop the incorrect aggregations occuring. A common modelling piece in the same way would be Order Headers and Order Lines, quite common in OBIEE to have a logical 'Orders' fact which contained both Order header measures and Order line measures, this translates to your Incidents -> Units relationship.
To do what I've mentioned, is relatively straight forward, you need a 'Dim - Incident' with two levels, Incident and Unit, mapp the unique identifiers in as the level keys and then use these levels to set the content levels correctly in your 2 logical tables sources for logical 'Fact' , ie Incidents LTS at incident level, Units LTS as units level.
Hope this helps, let us know if you get stuck.
Cheers

Is it possible to merge images from 4 different folders into a single 4x4 image with ps scripting?

So I have four folders that each contain 970 images. The images in folder 1 are named exactly the same as the images in folder 2, 3, and 4. All the images are also 400px in size. What I'm trying to do is take all images of the same name from each of the 4 folders and put them into a single 800x800 images so that they are arranged in a 4x4 fashion.
Example: Each folder has an image named mastiff1.psd. All four mastiff images are different, but have the same name, and are the same size. I'd like all four mastiff images to be combined into one double-size image that has all four of the mastiff images on it and save as mastiff1-4x4.
Is that something that photoshop scripting could do? I'm a newb to this. I've used actions plenty, but never scripting.

To script well you need to know a scripting programming language either JavaScript which works on both Photoshop Platforms or AppleScript which will only Apple Mac machines, Or VSbasic which will only run on windows. You must also know how Photoshop works and know how to use Photoshop well.
There are some things that can not be scripted for Adobe DOM does not have interfaces methods for all of Photoshop's features. However there is an Adobe Plug-in with the name Scriptlistener witch is like a script recorder anything you do in Photoshop that can be recorded in actions will be recorded into two logs on you desktop when the Scriptlistener plug-in is installed one is in JavaScript syntax the other in VSbasic. Like Actions there is no logic just hard coded step, step, step... The code uses the Action Manager to do the Photoshop function. So things that can not be scripted using Adobe DOM can be scripted using Action Manager code produced by the Scriptlistener Plug-in and the hard coded steps can be modifies into javascript functions that use variables.
I feel what you want to do would be a real ambitious first Photoshop script. Adobe scripting documentation, sample script and Scriptlistener are not part of the standard install. You must download these from Adobe. Adobe Photoshop Scripting | Adobe Developer Connection.
I don't actually know javascript but I can hack at it. Have done some document layout scripts. Most require a PSD template but PasteImageRoll does not but all Image must come from the same folder. Most of my fully automated script require all image to be in the same folder. However two of my scripts are interactive. You can select each image to be layout from anywhere. Images will be automatically re-sized and positioned which you can then tweak.
I'm not the best coder still you may want to look ate the code I came up with.
Paste Image Roll Script and Picture Package Support
Photo Collage Toolkit UPDATED Made Rotate for Best Fit an option in PasteImageRoll.jsx Edit to customize your default settings.
Photoshop scripting is powerful and I believe this package demonstrates this.
The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.
There are twelve scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.

Collecting same data with different value into a table

Hi,
Can you people help me with this problem.
I have an internal table with different data e.g :
A    2
B    1
C    3
A    1
D    7
B    5
Now i want to put the values of A,B,C,D into another internal table with some other calculation done.
But when i am using READ Table with KEY my second internal table is getting filled with A=2 and the second A=2 as well instead of 1.I guess because it is reading the first record only as its finding A first.
How will i fix this one.
Kind Regards,

Joining two fact tables with different dimensions into single logical table

Hi Gurus,
I try to accomplish in Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.3.0:
F1 (D1, D2 and D3)
F2 (D1 and D2 and D4)
And we want to build a report F1 F2 D1 D2 D3 D4 to have data for:
F1 that match only for D1-D2-D3
and data for
F2 that match only D1-D2-D4
all that in one row, so D3 and D4 are not common dimensions.
I can only do:
F3 (D1, D2)
F4 (D1, D2 and D4)
And report
F3 F4 D1,D2,D4 (all that in one row, and only D4 is not a common dimension)
Here is the very good example how to accomplish the scenario 1
http://108obiee.blogspot.com/2009/08/joining-two-fact-tables-with-different.html
But looks like it does not work in 11.1.1.3.0
I get
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 14025] No fact table exists at the requested level of detail: [,,Clients,,Day,ROI,,,,EW_Names,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,]. (HY000)
I am sure I set up everything correctly as advised in the blog but it works with only one not a common dimension
Is it a bug in 11.1.1.3.0 or something?
Thanks,
Kate

Thanks for all your replies.
Actually, I've tried the solutions you guys mentioned. Generally speaking, the result should be displayed. However, my scenario is a little bit tricky.
table Y's figures are not the aggregation of table X for D dimension. Instead, table Y's figures include not only D dimension total, but also others (others do not mean A, B, C dimension). For example, table Y stores all food's figure, while table X stores only drink's figure. D dimension is only about drink's detail. In my scenario, other foods' figure is not provided.
So, even if I set D dimension to all/total for table X, table X's result is still not the same as table Y.
Indeed, table Y does not have a column key to join to D dimension's key. So, if I select D dimension and table Y's measures at the same time in BI Answer, result returns no data. Hence, I can't compare table X and table Y's results with selection of D dimension.
Is there any solution to solve this problem?

Merging/Flattening Layers with different blending modes and maintaining the visual appearance

Hello,
I see there are many others that are having the same problem as me. And alas, it doesn't seem like the problem has been solved or very understood for that matter.
I want to be able to take a document, that has multiple layers, inside of multiple groups with various layers having various blending modes applied to them and from within that document, select simply two of those layers, one with a Divide blending mode and the other layer Normal, merge those two layers, but have the visual appearance of the merged layer maintain the visual appearance of what the layers looked like before I merged them.
Everytime I attempt this, Ps takes my Divide layer, reverts it back to Normal and then merges the layers, thus changing the appearance of what it was before the merge. This is not the desired result.
I understand that when you flatten an entire series of layers, it applies all the blending modes and maintains the visual appearance. Is there a way to do this with just two layers instead of all the layers? If so, that would be great information. If not, why not?
Thank you
Jake

Short answer: No.
A "layer" with a specific blending mode implies a sequence of math operations on a given pixel. Think of the visible pixel R, G, and B values as the result of a potentially complex math formula that combines numbers from each layer in complex ways (those ways being defined by the blending mode you've chosen). You can't always simplify particular factors of your choosing in a given math formula.
The next step is to examine why you would want to do so. Perhaps there's a more direct way to achieve your goal that would avert the need entirely.
Another possibility, if the effect of several layers together is something you'd like to manipulate as a unit, is to Group the layers.

Can I receive emails from 2 different addresses into a single account using TB?

I want to combine all emails from both addresses into a single account in TB.
I have already tried adding the 2nd account using "Manage Identities" but it did not work for me. The default is gmail and the 2nd is not.

Can you explain this?
I found this on Mozilla site. But, in my updated TB, i can find no such thing as a "root" folder that shows all incoming emails. only the "Child" folders show.....
'''Unified Folders'''
Unified Folders (originally named Smart Folders when it was added in 3.0) is a folder pane view which looks like a global inbox account by merging the contents of all inbox folders (both POP, IMAP and local folders) from all accounts. It also shows the inbox of each account as a child folder of the unified Inbox account. Any messages in an inbox shows up in both the root of the unified Inbox, plus the child folder of the unified Inbox for that account.
Each account still displays any child folders of the inbox, only its inbox folder has been "moved" away from the account. This does not, however, change where and how messages are stored. In other words, Unified is just another way to view your folders, similar to what you can do with a saved search (a type of virtual folder).
Use View -> Folders -> Unified Folders to select it. If you don't want to use it, use View -> Folders -> All Folders to select a more traditional display. Thunderbird 10 eliminated the ◄► arrows at the top of the folder pane that you could use to cycle between different views.

Multiple Orders with Different reasons on a Single day

Hi,
I am recently learning Device Management of IS-U Electricity. Now I have a problem with meter reading orders generated at the time of periodic meter reading with reason 01 and different system generated orders with reasons like 22, 21 , 16 and 11 which are the orders get created internally based on device replacement and modification.
If the scheduled meter reading date lies on the day or the day before of device replacement or modification, the meter reading for the periodic order is getting prorated based on the meter reading entered at the time of replacement or modification. This is what I dont want.
Is it possible to have multiple orders with different reasons on the same date? Any configuration changes are welcome.
- Arghya

Hi,
You can acheive this using following config changes.
SAP Utilities --> Device Managment -->Meter Reading --> Meter Reading Order -->Order Creation --> Define Automatic Interpolation for Meter Reading Reason.
Uncheck the 'Auto Interpolation' flag for Meter Reading reason 01.
This will not use the Replacement or Modifiaction read.
Let me know if anything more is reuiqred.
Thanks and Regards,
Ranjit Thakur.

Flat file with different layouts in a single file

Hello Friends,
Good Morning.
I am new to ODI - Oralce Data Integrator 11G.
I have a flat file where I had to load the flat file data to a oracle DB ( 11G ).
The flat file has 5 different layouts ( Data of 5 different suppliers coming as a single file and each layout is different ) and each layout corrresponds to one supplier information.
I had to load each layout data into a different table using a single source file ( That has all supplier information).
Please advice.
Thanks/Kumar

Ok below are the layouts.
BASE record
DS01 record
RM01 record
CR01 record
NW01 record
Few more question to you.
Are they always come in sequential like below ?
BASE record
DS01 record
RM01 record
CR01 record
NW01 record
BASE record
DS01 record
RM01 record
CR01 record
NW01 record
BASE record
DS01 record
RM01 record
CR01 record
NW01 record
Do you want only insert or insert/update as well ?

Multiplying Measures with different dimensionality

New to Essbase but very experienced with OLAP
My cube has 3 dimensions FCO, STAT and VALID
1st Measure DATA1 is stored at the leaf values for FCO and STAT and at the VALIDTotal (parent) for the Valid Dim
2nd Measure DATA2 is stored at the leaf values for FCO and VALID and at the StatTotal (parent) for the Stat Dim
(Essentially the VALID dimension in DATA1 is irrelevant and the STAT dimension in DATA2 is irrelevant)
When I do a simple calc of DATA1 * DATA2; no data is returned because when you match the dimensions one measure has data at the leaf level but the other doesn't.
I need to multiply each of the leaf values of the STAT dimension in Measure DATA1 with each leaf value of the VALID dimension in Measure DATA2
Below is an example
Data1
Stat1 Stat2 Stat3 StatTotal
FCO1 10 15 5 -
FCO2 20 25 10 -
FCO3 30 35 15 -
FCOT 60 75 30 -
Data2
Valid1 Valid2 Valid3 ValidTotal
FCO1 1 1 -
FCO2 1 1 -
FCO3 1 1 1 -
Total - - - -
Desired Results:
Valid1 Valid2 Valid3 Valid1 Valid2 Valid3 Valid1 Valid2 Valid3
Stat1 Stat1 Stat1 Stat2 Stat2 Stat2 Stat3 Stat3 Stat3
FCO1 10 10 15 15 5 5
FCO2 20 20 25 25 10 10
FCO3 30 30 30 35 35 35 15 15 15
Total 60 40 50 75 50 60 30 20 25
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what the formula would look like?
Thanks in advance

The forum tends to change the post and made it difficult to read, but I think I deciphered what you had (putting zeroes in instead of leaving them blank would have helped with the Data2 section).
BTW: Here is how I decoded the data sets you provided (with slight name changes):
     Stat1     Stat2     Stat3     StatT          Valid1     Valid2     Valid3     ValidT
FCO1     10     15     5               1     1     0
FCO2     20     25     10               1     0     1
FCO3     30     35     15               1     1     1
FCOT     60     75     30
     Valid1     Valid2     Valid3     Valid1     Valid2     Valid3     Valid1     Valid2     Valid3
     Stat1     Stat1     Stat1     Stat2     Stat2     Stat2     Stat3     Stat3     Stat3
FCO1     10     10     0     15     15     0     5     5     0
FCO2     20     0     20     25     0     25     10     0     10
FCO3     30     30     30     35     35     35     15     15     15
FCOT     60     40     50     75     50     60     30     20     25For future reference, you can copy/paste excel data inside a "code" tag to show it like I did above.
Here is what I would do, assuming I interpreted the need correctly as above:
1) Create a non-aggregating Stat_Input member (in the Valid dimension) to load the first data set.
2) Create a non-aggregating Valid_Input member (in the Stat dimension) to load the second data set.
3) Load the first data set to the new Stat_Input member of the Valid dimension.
4) Load the second data set to the new Valid_Input member of the Stat dimension.
5) Use a calc script to spread the input member to the Stat1/Stat2/State3 members based on Valid1/Valid2/Valid3 values
- Stat1 = Stat_Input * Valid1->Valid_Input;
- Stat2 = Stat_Input * Valid2->Valid_Input;
- Stat3 = Stat_Input * Valid3->Valid_Input;
It may seem confusing to have the Valid_Input in the stat dimension (and vice versa), the point is that this is where the inputs for the respective data goes, and then they are spread to the intersections based on cross-dimensional references that "link" the inputs to the other members. If you were to give the members names based on the current dimension, it would be more confusing because they wouldn't represent the purpose that they serve.
I realize this is likely to generate more questions, but if you can give this approach a try you may find that it isn't as difficult as it seems.

How to superimpose data from two different charts into a single chart?

I have a single chart that lists numbers by month for a two year period like this:
Jan 100
Feb 200
Jan 103
Feb 199
The numbers are all in the same column rather than different columns.
I'd like to creat a chart that plots the data for each year on the same X axis, so that I can see the two january numbers, the two february numbers, etc. on top of each other. But nothing I've tried seems to work. Numbers seems to always put the second january after the first december on the x axis rather than recognizing it as a new series to be superimposed on top of the original january.
Is there some way to fix this short of putting the data into a new column?

What your describing is a table of wht I would call raw data. I would also have a summary table that would use functions like sumif and sumifs, then make my chart off that. This table would have each month in a column and the years across as headers. ( if you're familiar with excel, it would be the equivalent of making a pivot table and chart, but manually).
