Colors altered

I developed a very simple form without specifying any color (I let them as unspecified). But after having run this new form with Oracle Applications, I get strange colors in the standard oracle applications forms, making them unreadable.
Have you experienced this pb?

Thanks, dominic23, I already tried that. I also tried recalibrating the colors on the admin account - another fail. Then I tried replacing the default login window desktop with another image. The new image appeared distorted as well.
What's odd is that the bad colors appear only when no one is logged into the computer. Once someone attempts a login and enters a successful username/password combo the colors become normal for a second or two, just before the login window disappears and the user is logged in. The colors also appear perfectly normal when viewing remotely on Apple Remote Desktop.

JPG compression/colors altered... Help!

I'm using Java 1.4 ImageI/O to create a JPG from a buffered image and save the JPG to a file. It works okay, except I had thought that it would save the JPG with no compression if none was specified. But it was compressed... So, I got an ImageWriter for JPG and tried this bit of code:
JPEGImageWriteParam iwparam = new JPEGImageWriteParam(null);
iwparam.setCompressionMode(ImageWriteParam.MODE_EXPLICIT);
iwparam.setCompressionQuality(compressionQuality);
where compressionQuality is set to 0 so that there would be NO COMPRESSION. It looks better, but is still fuzzy. And my colors are all darker than they should be. The buffered image is defined as such:
BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(390,420,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB)
Is there another way to set some parameters or anything so that there is no compression and the colors will be right???
I cannot use GIF b/c ImageI/O does not support writing that format. I thought about using PNG, but am unsure of browser support for this.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I've seen several posts on here where people have done similar things as I: created a jpg from bufferedImage that consisted of simple drawLine, drawRect type images. No one else's jpg's are as crappy looking as mine?? Why not?

Bizarre color alterations

Alright, I've found a couple things here about this, but its not solving my problem as mine is a little different.
I have. Tiger, DVDSP 4.2.1
Designing a dvd with motion menus, etc.
Now. I have three files
Transition movie into first menu
first menu background movie
Transition OUT movie to next menu
All three were created in After effects, all using same files, same gamma, same settings. All imported into FCP, and all exported through compressor with identical settings as individual files
Now, ((( this is key )))) If I put all three on one track and play them next to each other, they flow seemlessly from one to the other with no color shifts.
However,
When I set it up as (track)*endjump to menu1* ----Menu1----(button to transitionOUT) I get a weird flash frame between the movies, and at the end of the transitionOUT, if I dont loop it or just go to the next menu, it indeed stops, and suddenly jumps up in gamma a good deal. If I loop it, great, but if I button away from it, again, I get a quick flash frame of the high gamma before it moves into the transitional movie.
Anyone help?

Monika,
Thank you. Overprint preview didn't resolve the issue either. However, after seeing your comments about spot colors, I tried a couple of things that finally gave me the desired result. I had to go into the original logo file and convert all spot colors to process colors, turn "Global" off, then re-place the logo into the banner file. (I tried converting the colors in the banner file, but this did not make the desired change.)
SUCCESS! Thank you very much for your help on this!

Clips are getting distorted after rendering a color grade; any solutions?

I've been experiencing this problem as I've been learning to color grade. Once I have all of my layers set the way I want them (initial correction, color alteration, masking, and sometimes adding a vinette) and I go to render, my clip will become completely distorted. Is there any solution to this when it happens, or will I have to restart the grade completely? Could there just be something I'm doing wrong in my workflow? I'm open to any and all answers.

Pure guess, do you have set in preferences high quality in playback.

Photoshop Color Management

Hi all,
I've noticed a small issue (that is probably my fault). My color settings for some reason are all off.
When I open a document in my OS preview the colors are as they should be. When I open that same document in Photoshop the colors are all de-saturated and muted. When I use "Save for web" which gives me a preview the colors go back to and save as correctly as they looked in the OS preview.
What's going on here and how can I make Photoshop open the images as they should be with no color alteration. In my color profile settings the only one that comes close is if i change it to "Monitor Colors"
Thanks again in advance!
-Patrick

Thank you Chris,
When I did windows update I must have checked to download new display drivers I'm using (Dell with Dell Screens). It was loaded into the color settings as a profile, I hit delete and now all is well.

Photoshop CS5 color help.

Hey, I tried figuring this out myself but to no avail. so I am asking anyone here for some advice.
I am trying to make a "lightsaber" effect on some images. In an earlier version of photoshop (earlier than the CS versions i think) it ended up as the blade with its color on a black background. This image was placed on top of my image, the blending mode changed to screen, and it turned out fine. The black disappeared, and the blade kept its vibrant color.
Tutorial I used: http://alienryderflex.com/rotoscope/
Blade image before "screeining" over background image: http://i447.photobucket.com/albums/qq192/CrazedOne1988/lasers.jpg
I've tried this in cs3 and cs5, but something in the program must have changed. When I set the "blades" image to screen, the blade color ends up blending into the background color (altering the blades color) and ends up completely disappearing against a white background. The blade color alters based on what color the image behind it is. I want the blades to keep their vibrant color regardless of what background it is against. Any advice?
Pre-CS: http://i447.photobucket.com/albums/qq192/CrazedOne1988/endoftheworld.jpg
CS3 CS5: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs37/i/2008/284/8/1/Halo_Star_Wars_by_CrazedOne1988.jpg (blade color in this image was set to Red:0 Green: 127 Blue: 255, a clear cyan blue color, and it's blending into the orange, creating a purplish blue color)

When I set the "blades" image to screen, the blade color ends up blending into the background color (altering the blades color) and ends up completely disappearing against a white background.
Of course they will disappear against a white background.
The Blending Mode Screen can only produce lighter values (you can figure out the math yourself or check out the Help, »Blending mode descriptions«) so on white it will result in white.
Anyway, I guess the intended effect may possibly be approximated with Blend Mode Normal.
In the case of your example a Selection based on Green used to make a Green (0/255/0) Solid Color Layer, a Selection based on either Red or Blue as the basis of a white Solid Color Layer could be used.
On Black the results are identical, on lighter backgrounds the result will differ increasingly, but one can still control the aura via Opacity.

Display color profile bug when using the fast account switch from a guest account to an admin account (and vice versa)

Hey,
I'm sometimes using a guest account on my MBP (unibody late 2008 2,4 GHz Core2Duo, 4GB DDR3 running OSX 10.9.4 on an OCZ 128GB SSD) for a more distraction-free working space and I noticed right away a disturbing bug:
Using the fast account switch (upper right hand corner of the screen) in Mavericks from an admin account to log into a guest account (or vice versa) produces, after the fancy rotating cube animation, some strange distortion of the desktop background happens (lasting approx. 2 sec.). After that the color profile of the display is changed into an usable but ugly one, which is disturbing while working with pictures. When checking the color profile in the pref pane, the standard "display" profile is said to be active (it's the one I use) but still the colors aren't the same. Selecting another profile and re-selcting the desired one doesn't fix the problem. Switching back to the other account with the fast switching leaves the colors altered. Logging out and deleting the guest account seems to the problem for the remaining admin account. Rebooting and logging in to either of the accounts (admin or guest) from the standard account selecting page at booting shows the normal color profile.
Is it a general bug or is their anything a can do to prevent this problem (other than never using the fast switching)?
Thanks for your advice.

I cannot agree more with your comments! What a way to frustrate your customers!
I have been having an issue with iCloud on Mac where it kept asking me for my password and sometimes would, sometimes would not continue to access my iCloud mail. Today it just refused to connect to iCloud mail.
I looked in the Mail, Contacts and Calendars in my MacBook Pro settings and discovered that 2 iCloud accounts were present. One with my original Apple ID (a gmail address) and a second with my new iCloud email ( an @me.com address). Having deleted the second account, using the new @me.com address everything is working fine.
So from my viewpoint when I moved over to iCloud I was asked to sign in with my Apple ID (the gmail address) then to create an @me.com address. However, as far as I can see all sign ins to the new @me.com account on Macbook, iPhone and iPad need to be done through the old Apple ID (the gmail address). Is that confusing and just plain crazy???
Further, after creating the new @me.com address I soon found out that this is apparently now forever bound to my old Apple ID and cannot be changed. I mean why can't I delete the iCloud account and start anew with a different @me.com address??? Also, as everybody using iCloud must create an @me.com address why on earth can I not get rid of my old gmail address and have my entire Apple ID accessed through the new @me.com address? Creating a whole new Apple ID will not solve this as we are unable to transfer purchases between accounts.
Apple products are great IMHO, but they do seem to not think things through in a very big way sometimes......

OAM customization error

I wanted to change the font colour of user manager application to red.To get this done i followed the instructions given in the document.the steps have been done in the process are as below.
2.5.1 Prerequisites to Customizing Styles
Be sure to complete the following prerequisites before you start to customize a style. This enables you to keep the original Classic Style (\style0) intact for reference and in case you need to return to it as a last resort.
To prepare to customize styles
As an Identity Administrator, add your own named style as described in the Oracle Access Manager Identity and Common Administration Guide.
The original style stays in effect until an Identity Administrator makes your style the new system default.
As an Identity Administrator, select the new style as the default style so that you can see the effect of any changes you make.
2.5.2 Customization Facts
Style Updates and Maintenance: Default wrapper files in \style0 and default global stylesheets in \shared are periodically updated to instantiate improvements through patches and product upgrades.
The Release Notes notify you when such updates occur so you can propagate the changes to your custom styles. Oracle recommends that you compare the new file with your custom file and propagate any changes to your custom styles. It is risky to overwrite a default style with a customized style that bears the same name.
Be sure to record the changes you make and the files that are involved so you can more quickly update custom stylesheets when you update default styles.
Custom Directory: Stylesheet customization should occur only within your custom directory. Customized stylesheets must reside in your custom directory and relative pointers in all files must point to the files in your custom directory, not to files in \shared.
Registration Files: As discussed in "General Content of Registration Files", a common registration file and each application's registration file contain the names of the stylesheets and schema files needed to present pages for the application. For example, when you look at the User Manager registration file in identity\oblix\apps\userservcenter\userservcenterreg.xml, you can see the application name and the names of the stylesheets the application calls during the completion of various functions.
Also, given the application and the program name, you can locate the corresponding schema file name in the application's registration file.
Oracle recommends that only experienced developers using extreme care consider editing a registration file. Registration files are covered in more detail at "Registration Files".
Pointers: All wrapper files and stylesheets contain pointers as include statements that call another file. Most of these pointers are relative pointers that indicate where within the directory structure the file is without providing an absolute path name.
For example, when you look at the usc_profile.xsl stylesheet called by User Manager functions, you can see that it contains include statements with relative pointers that call the following files:
./basic.xsl
./selectorinfo.xsl
./usc_searchform.xsl
./usc_navbar.xsl
When you change the location of a file (place a copy of a stylesheet in your custom directory for customization), pointers to this file (whether relative or absolute) must be changed to reflect the new location in every file that calls it. All relative pointers in a stylesheet should point to files in your custom directory.
In addition, many stylesheets contain relative pointers to object files. If Oracle Access Manager cannot instantiate an object when the page is loaded, unexpected behavior may result. All relative pointers to object files should be absolute pointers, as discussed in "Editing Stylesheets".
Wrapper Files: Wrapper files include pointers to actual stylesheets in \shared. However, you cannot be assured that a wrapper file is called before the stylesheet because both the common registration file and the application's own registration file call stylesheets according to an internal ordering. For this reason, all wrapper files in your custom directory must be overwritten by a copy of the corresponding default stylesheet from the \shared directory.
Important:
Customizing stylesheets is an iterative process. Attempting to copy the entire contents of \shared into your custom directory at one time produce an error.
Rather than copying all stylesheets at once, you start by investigating registration files to learn which functions (programs) call which stylesheets. You then selectively copy base stylesheets and a function-related stylesheet into your custom directory to overwrite their wrapper files, as discussed in "Copying Stylesheets to Your Custom Directory". You then customize and test the style for that function. When this returns satisfactory results you repeat the process to customize another function.
2.5.3 Customization Guidelines
The following guidelines should help ensure a successful customization.
Retain all original files in the \style0 and \shared directories in pristine condition and store them safely for future use. Also, make a backup copy of your customized style files so that patches won't disrupt your customization.
Record all changes you make and the files that are affected.
Customize and test your new styles in a non-production environment before migrating them to your production environment.
Important:
Oracle recommends that you do not modify original style files in the \shared or \style0 directories. These may be overwritten by patch updates and product upgrades or you may want to refer to them later.
When you use only one style, consider breaking the dependence on stylesheets in the \shared directory (again, to prevent patch\release updates to \style0 and \shared from disrupting customizations). This means that no stylesheet in your custom directory should inherit from or reference a stylesheet in \shared or \style0.
When you use multiple custom styles, consider the pros and cons of sharing customizations between multiple custom styles with implementing individual customizations for each custom style. For example:
Two styles that share the same stylesheet: When two custom styles (custom_style1 and custom_style2) can share the same stylesheet you may be tempted to customize the stylesheet in the \shared directory despite the risk of having your custom style overwritten by an updated stylesheet in a product patch or upgrade.
Two individual styles: When two custom styles (custom_style1 and custom_style2) require their individually customized stylesheets you use the standard methodology and overwrite the wrapper files in your custom directory with the corresponding stylesheets in \shared.
Consider using parameter stylesheet files for a custom style collection, rather than using hard-coded values (tab id's, attribute names, table/link properties, and so on); this is similar to how program code is written using header files.
2.5.4 Customization Methodology Checklist
As mentioned earlier, customization is an iterative process and more of an art than a science. This Guide does not attempt to give precise instructions for getting the presentation you want. Instead, this section outlines the recommended approach for a minor change.
Important:
Oracle recommends that you focus on stylesheets for one function at a time. Attempting to copy all stylesheets from \shared into your custom style directory results in an error.
Table 2-28 Customization Methodology Checklist
Check Action Description
Add a New Style
See the Oracle Access Manager Identity and Common Administration Guide for details about adding a style and selecting your new style as the default.
Choose a Function to Customize
Decide which function to customize first. Oracle recommends that you customize stylesheets related to one function at a time.
Copy Selected Stylesheets into Your Custom Directory
Copy selected stylesheets from \shared to your custom directory to overwrite corresponding wrapper stylesheets:
Base stylesheets
Stylesheets included in base stylesheets
A function-related stylesheet identified in application registration file
Function-related stylesheets identified in oblixbasereg.xml
Customize Stylesheets in Your Custom Directory
Change relative pointers in copied stylesheets to point to files in your custom directory.
Change relative pointers to objects to absolute pointers.
Complete other changes to implement the function's customization.
Record Your Work
Keep a record of the files you change and the changes you make.
Copy Your Custom Directory Structure to WebPass
Build a custom directory structure on WebPass and copy customized styles and images into it.
Note: On WebPass, stylesheets are used only for client-side processing and are not required for server-side processing.
Test Your Customized Style
Test the customized style and make any alterations you need to the stylesheets in your custom directory.
Record the changes.
Customize Another Function
Repeat this process on a function by function basis:
Choose a function.
Copy related stylesheets from \shared to your custom directory.
Customize pointers and styles.
Record and test your work.
Propagate the Customized Style
When you have copied and customized all stylesheets for the application, copy the custom style directory to all Identity Servers and WebPass hosts in your environment.
2.6 Customizing the Identity System Pages
This example shows a method for changing the way a page looks, without changing what it does. The change is a simple font color alteration for a specific page in one application. After making the change you must verify that the change is successful. When you finish this functional customization, you must create the same custom style directory structure on WebPass and copy all image files into it so WebPass can display the appropriate images in response to queries. You then test the implementation.
The following topics demonstrate one sequence in the "Customization Methodology Checklist". You can complete the following procedures to gain first-hand experience:

2.6.1 Completing Prerequisites
A prerequisite to customizing a style is to add a style and select the new style as the default, as described in the Oracle Access Manager Identity and Common Administration Guide. The resulting files and file structure provide the foundation for your customization.
Suppose you added a new style named Pastel in a directory named Pastel and requested files be copied from Classic Style (in directory \style0).
To confirm the results of adding a new style
Add a style and select it as the default, as described in the Oracle Access Manager Identity and Common Administration Guide.
New Custom Directory: Oracle Access Manager creates a directory that duplicates \style0 for the default language, English. If you have installed a Language Pack for French, Oracle Access Manager also creates a directory that duplicates \style0 in the French language directory.
Locate your new custom directory.
For example:
Identity_install_dir \identity\oblix\lang\en-us\Pastel
Identity_install_dir \identity\oblix\lang\fr-fr\Pastel
Wrapper Stylesheets: Your custom directory contains wrapper stylesheets that point to actual stylesheets in another directory. If you selected the Classic Style to copy from, your custom directory duplicates the content of the \style0 directory.
Open a wrapper stylesheet in your new custom directory, basic.xsl, and review the files that it includes.
For this example:
Identity_install_dir\identity\oblix\lang\en-us\Pastel\basic.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- 
- <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:oblix="http://www.oblix.com/">
<xsl:include href="./style.xsl" />
<xsl:include href="../msgctlg.xsl" />
<xsl:include href="../../shared/basic.xsl" />
</xsl:stylesheet>
The basic.xsl wrapper stylesheet includes the following three files:
style.xsl file in your custom directory
msgctlg.xsl, one directory up from your custom directory (in identity\oblix\lang\en-us)
basic.xsl in identity\oblix\lang\shared
Locate and review the content of the basic.xsl stylesheet in \shared.
For example:
Identity_install_dir\identity\oblix\lang\shared\basic.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- 
- <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:oblix="http://www.oblix.com/">
<xsl:include href="obstringutil.xsl" />
- 
<xsl:include href="font.xsl" />
<xsl:include href="title.xsl" />
The basic.xsl stylesheet in the \shared directory includes additional files (font.xsl, title.xsl, obstringutil.xsl) and provides templates to define attributes and status and control display information. See "basic.xsl" for more information.
During your customization process, you copy selected stylesheets from the \shared directory into your custom directory. This overwrites wrapper files with corresponding stylesheets you can then edit in your custom directory.
New Custom XML Document: In addition to the custom directory structure, when you select the new custom style as the default style, Oracle Access Manager creates an XML document (a duplicate of style0.xml) named after the directory you created.
Locate and open the custom xml document that was created when you added the new style.
For this example:
Identity_install_dir\identity\oblix\config\style\Pastel.xml
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <ParamsCtlg xmlns="http://www.oblix.com" CtlgName="style0">
- <ValNameList ListName="">
<NameValPair ParamName="styleReady" Value="TRUE" />
</ValNameList>
</ParamsCtlg>
This new file, stored with style0.xml, provides the status of your custom style and the location of the original style directory from which wrapper files were copied. For example, if your custom style directory is named Pastel and you copied from Classic Style, the Pastel.xml file is created when you select Pastel as the default style.
You do not need to edit this file. The original style0.xml remains unchanged. Also, there is a .lck version, Pastel.xml.lck, which is a lock file. No other new files are created when you add a new style.
Updated styles.xml: The styles.xml file is updated to include a new NameValPair that provides both the directory and style names you supplied when creating the style.
Locate and open the styles.xml file to confirm it was updated with your new style information.
For example:
Identity_install_dir\identity\oblix\config\style\styles.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
- <ValNameList xmlns="http://www.oblix.com" ListName="styles.xml">
<NameValPair ParamName="style0" Value="Classic Style" />
<NameValPair ParamName="Pastel" Value="Pastel" />
</ValNameList>
In this example, both the default Classic Style and new custom Pastel style are identified. You do not need to edit this file.
After confirming your custom directory structure, new and updated files, you are ready to choose a function and begin your customization.
2.6.2 Choosing a Function to Customize
The first step in the customization process is to choose a function to customize. For this example, suppose you want to change the font color to red on a specific page of the User Manager without changing anything else.
To identify the function and source information
Log in to the Identity System, as usual.
Navigate to the desired page.
For this example, click:
Identity System Console, User Manager, and then click My Identity
The page appears, as shown in Figure 2-6.
Figure 2-6 Customization Example: A User Manager Page Displays Red Text
The following information on each Identity System application page is useful for customizing styles:
Application Name: The application name, User Manager, appears on a highlighted tab in the top left area of the screen.
Each application's \bin directory contains the registration file that you need to identify functions. See "Registration Files".
Page Name: The page name, in this example it is My Profile, is the first page that you want to customize so you can see text in a red font color.
Registration File Path: The URL for each page includes a path to the application page, for example, identity\oblix\apps\userservcenter\bin\userservcenter.cgi. You can use this to locate the relevant registration file on the Identity Server.
Function Name: The URL for each page also includes a segment, program=view in this case, that you can use to locate the relevant stylesheet name for the function in the registration file.
Record the required information to assist you during the customization.
For this example:
Application: User Manager
Page: User Profile
Registration File Path: Identity_install_dir\identity\oblix\apps\userservcenter\bin\
Function: program=view
2.6.3 Copying Stylesheets to Your Custom Directory
Once you have identified the function you want to customize, your next task in any customization is to copy relevant stylesheets into your custom directory from the \shared directory. This activity overwrites wrapper files in your custom directory with copies of stylesheets you can customize. This also retains the original stylesheets in \shared as well as the original default wrappers in \style0.
Locating and copying relevant stylesheets is an iterative process in itself. In the following procedure you must locate and copy:
Base stylesheets
Stylesheets included in base stylesheets
The specific function-related stylesheet identified for the program in the application's registration file, in this case the stylesheet associated with program=view
Stylesheets included in the function-related stylesheet
Eventually your custom directory must contain all stylesheets, including those identified in the application's registration file and in oblixbasereg.xml. Even if you do not need to edit a stylesheet, it must be copied to your custom directory.
Important:
Copying stylesheets is an iterative process that must be done in a selective manner. Attempting to copy all stylesheets from \shared to you custom directory at one time results in an error.
To locate and copy relevant stylesheets
Copy the base stylesheets to your custom style directory from \shared to overwrite the default wrappers with stylesheets you can customize.
For example:
Copy from: Identity_install_dir\identity\oblix\lang\en-us\shared\ basic.xsl, font.xsl, searchform.xsl, navbar.xsl, title.xsl
Copy to: Identity_install_dir\identity\oblix\lang\en-us\Pastel\
This retains the original base stylesheets in \shared as well as the original default wrappers in \style0.
Open each base stylesheet in your custom style directory and locate include statements that point to other stylesheets you must copy, as well as any style information you need to customize.
For this example, see Table 2-29:
Table 2-29 Base Stylesheet Pointers and Items to Customize
Base Stylesheets in Custom Directory Pointers to Related Stylesheets and Items to Customize
basic.xsl
Contains implied relative include pointers to other stylesheets you need in your local custom directory:
<xsl:include href="obstringutil.xsl" />
<xsl:include href="font.xsl" />
<xsl:include href="title.xsl" />
Record the names of additional stylesheets you must copy into your custom directory from \shared. In this case, obstringutil.xsl.
font.xsl
Does not contain include pointers to other files.
Does contain color information you can customize:
<xsl:variable name="subHeadingColor">#006699...
<xsl:variable name="contentTitleColor">#000000...
<xsl:variable name="contentTextColor">#000000...
searchform.xsl
Does not contain include pointers to other files.
Does not contain color information to customize. No changes needed to this stylesheet in your custom directory.
navbar.xsl
Does not contain include pointers to other files.
Does contain color information you may customize later.
title.xsl
Does not contain include pointers to other files.
Does contain color information you may customize later. No changes needed to this stylesheet in your custom directory.
Copy stylesheets included in base stylesheets to your custom directory from \shared.
For this example, obstringutil.xsl:
Copy from: Identity_install_dir\identity\oblix\lang\en-us\shared\ obstringutil.xsl
Copy to: Identity_install_dir\identity\oblix\lang\en-us\Pastel\obstringutil.xsl
Record the stylesheets you have copied from \shared to your custom directory so you can track your work.
Locate the required registration files.
For this example, oblixbasereg.xml and userservcenterreg.xml:
Identity_install_dir\identity\oblix\apps\common\bin\oblixbasereg.xml Identity_install_dir\identity\oblix\apps\userservcenter\bin\ userservcenterreg.xml
At some point, you typically need stylesheets included in the common registration file oblixbasereg.xml. However, stylesheets included in oblixbasereg.xml are not needed for this example.
For this example, you must locate only the function-related stylesheet in the userservcenterreg.xml file.
Open the application's registration file and locate the function-related stylesheet you need.
For this example, locate ObProgram name="view":
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <ObProgramRegistry>
- <ObApplication name="userservcenter">
- <ObProgram name="front">
<ObStyleSheet name="usc_profile.xsl" />
<ObSchema name="usc_front.xsd" />
</ObProgram>
- <ObProgram name="commonNavbar">
<ObStyleSheet name="usc_profile.xsl" />
<ObSchema name="usc_front.xsd" />
</ObProgram>
- <ObProgram name="view">
<ObStyleSheet name="usc_profile.xsl" />
<ObButton name="initiateDeactivateUser" />
- 
<ObButton name="userreactivate" />
<ObButton name="wfTicketDelete" />
<ObButton name="userModify" />
<ObSchema name="usc_profile.xsd" />
</ObProgram>
You can see in the registration file that the usc_profile.xsl stylesheet is associated with the function you want to customize (ObProgram name="view"). The usc_profile.xsl stylesheet is also associated with a number of other functions.
Copy the function-related stylesheet, usc_profile.xsl, to your custom style directory from \shared and record the stylesheet name.
For this example:
Copy From: Identity_install_dir\identity\oblix\lang\en-us\shared\ usc_profile.xsl
Copy To: Identity_install_dir\identity\oblix\lang\en-us\Pastel\ usc_profile.xsl
Open the function-related stylesheet and locate include statements that point to other stylesheets you must copy, record any information you plan to customize.
For this example, usc_profile.xsl:
Table 2-30 usc_profile.xsl Pointers and Items to Customize
usc_profile.xsl in Custom Directory Pointers to Related Stylesheets and Items to Customize
usc_profile.xsl
This main stylesheet for the User Manager includes stylesheets that must be copied to your custom directory:
<xsl:include href="./basic.xsl" />
<xsl:include href="./selectorinfo.xsl" />
<xsl:include href="./usc_searchform.xsl" />
<xsl:include href="./usc_navbar.xsl" />
Note: selectorinfo.xsl, usc_searchform.xsl and usc_navbar.xsl should be copied.
Also record pointers to objects that should be customized:
<object id="cenroll" classid= ...
codebase="../../common/bin/xenroll.cab" />
and
<script src="../../common/bin/installCert.vbx" ...
Repeat steps to copy relevant stylesheets, then record their names and details you plan to change.
For this example:
Copy From:
Identity_install_dir\identity\oblix\lang\en-us\shared\selectorinfo.xsl
Identity_install_dir\identity\oblix\lang\en-us\shared\usc_searchform.xsl
Identity_install_dir\identity\oblix\lang\en-us\shared\usc_navbar.xsl
Copy To:
Identity_install_dir\identity\oblix\lang\en-us\Pastel\selectorinfo.xsl Identity_install_dir\identity\oblix\lang\en-us\Pastel\usc_searchform.xsl Identity_install_dir\identity\oblix\lang\en-us\Pastel\usc_navbar.xsl
These stylesheets do not contain include statements, other stylesheet names, nor parameters you need to change.
You have collected, copied, and recorded relevant stylesheets for this example.
2.6.4 Editing Stylesheets
After copying relevant stylesheets, you may need to edit them. As described in Table 2-29 the information that needs to be customized for this example includes:
Font colors defined in the base stylesheet font.xsl should be changed to red.
Pointers to objects defined in usc_profile.xsl should change from a relative path to an absolute path.
Note:
To help streamline development and testing, consider implementing XSL stylesheet control parameters. See "Caching Considerations".
To edit stylesheets for a simple font color change
Open the font.xsl stylesheet in your custom directory in a text editor.
For example,
Identity_install_dir\identity\oblix\lang\en-us\Pastel\ font.xsl
Edit the stylesheet to change all colors from the default color to red (FF0000), then save the change.
For example,
Change all Default Font Colors From:
... <xsl:variable name="pageHeaderColor">#006699</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="subHeadingColor">#006699</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="contentTitleColor">#000000</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="contentTextColor">#000000</xsl:variable>
and others ...
To Red (#FF0000):
... <xsl:variable name="pageHeaderColor">#FF0000</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="subHeadingColor">#FF0000</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="contentTitleColor">#FF0000</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="contentTextColor">#FF0000</xsl:variable>
and others ...
Record your changes to this file.
If you restarted the Identity Server now you would not yet see your changes. This is because you have not yet customized the function-related stylesheet that identifies where to apply the changes.
Edit the basic.xsl stylesheet in your custom directory as follows to add required include statements that were in the original basic.xml (but were lost when you copied over the basic.xsl from the shared folder).
Locate the line containing the following:
<xsl:include href="obstringutil.xsl"/>
Add the following information so that it precedes the line identified in a):
<xsl:include href="./style.xsl" />
<xsl:include href="../msgctlg.xsl" />
Edit the usc_profile.xsl stylesheet in your custom directory to change the relative path to objects, as shown in the following, then save the changes.
For example:
Change From a Relative Path:
- <head>
...<object id="cenroll" classid="clsid:43F8F289-7A20-11D0-8F06-00C04FC295E1" codebase="../../common/bin/xenroll.cab" />
... <script src="../../common/bin/installCert.vbx" language="VBScript" />
</head>
Change To an Absolute Path:
- <head>
... <object id="cenroll" classid="clsid:43F8F289-7A20-11D0-8F06-00C04FC295E1" codebase="/identity/oblix/apps/common/bin/xenroll.cab" />
... <script src="/identity/oblix/apps/common/bin/installCert.vbx" language="VBScript" />
</head>
This concludes the specific function-related change for this example.
Ensure that file system access control for new custom style directories and files is set to match the ownership and permissions of \style0.
Restart the Identity Server.
If you log in to the Identity System now and view the My Identity page, you see the red font color. However, the images supplied by WebPass won't appear until they are included in a corresponding custom style directory structure on the WebPass host.
After doing this i checked user manager application then iam being displayed the following error page.

Hi Matt,
I think the page you are being redirected to is servererror.jsp, which is deployed within oam-server.ear, within its own ngsso-web.war application. You could deploy your own version of this. I assume you could also modify the ErrorPage setting in oam-config.xml to define your own page, though I have not tested this. This would be a customisation, so you would be responsible for the system behaviour when doing this.
Regards,
Colin

Missing Last Step when using Wave world?

Hi, I wanted to create motion in a still of the waves behind a ship. I imported the wave picture from photo shop, then created another solid layer. I apllied wave world to the solid layer and track matted it to fit the wave still I have. I adjusted the parameters to meet my needs in the wave world effect. I then saved the project. When I imported it into PP Pro CS5 I get the still with the wave world grid and not the final outcome. Did I miss something? Or did I do something wrong. Thanks Roman

Wave World is a simulation system designed to be the input for other effects like displacement operations and color alterations such as Caustics and Colorama or just displacement mapping. As such, it has no effect if you must apply it on a layer and, you need to understand, as for all displacement reference layers, it must be precomposed or rendered. Otherwise it comes in as the solid to which it was applied.
You need to switch to the rendered output in the controls for the effect and the best way to use it is to render the output movie.

Pulling keys on shiny objects - how to implement holdouts?

I am working on pulling a key in Shake, using the Keylight node.
The fg is a close-up of a hand holding a coin, and I am using trackers on the hand to matchmove an inverted rotoshape that goes to the garbage matte input of the Keylight. The idea is that the Keylight should only have to key the close vicinity of the hand.
The **** coin is very shiny...so reflections of green light are all over it, making the keylight rip little holes in it everywhere...sob. Hence, I am tracking a rotoshape on the coin too, so the Keylight won't work on it. I always thought this was called a hold-out matte, so I plug the tracked rotoshape into the holdout input of the keylight node. But it doesn't do the trick...:
The coin is not keyed to fringes like before, but instead it is shining with the light blue color that I chose for the replacement color for the Keyer...I find that easier to inspect than alpha black, and we haven't built the bg yet.
Can anyone tell me if I got the holdout principle right, or if there's a better way to keep the coin out of the keyer's scope?
I have a tracker on it, I have a matchmove node of course, and I have an oval rotoshape to cover the outline of the coin. I have made no attempt to fill the closed rotoshape, since I have the understanding that an uninverted shape will work like a closed union of all the points it encloses.
Forgive the tedious language, but I would really like some feedback here, and I am trying to describe what I am doing and thinking If I could only upload pics, I would show you all the nodes instead.
Thanks to anyone who has constructive feedback!
Cheers;
Eivind

Hi Chris, no worries! And many thanks for your thorough reply.
Of course, there are things I read around here that I don't understand. My education helps me understand the principles involved...but I don't have much experience with Shake. It is probably partly my own fault that I frown upon the usability of Shake, though I understand it does the job well when used right.
I have been fiddling with video editing and comping for about 1.5 years now, and it has also become an increasing part of my job, as you can see on www.avrtv.com.
Mostly, I use Final Cut Pro, but fire up Shake every now and then when we try to do something special. I guess Shake is a "Specialist app", not really for casuals
This has nothing to do with hues or coloring your original image - you are simpy telling shake you dont want the green areas anymore.
I know. The issue I was having, appeared because I am keying with Keylight using a blue replacement color (instead of e.g. comp/premult/status). I found that it could actually be useful to render it with a forgiving replacement color, since that looked better than the shiny green from the background screen.
switchmatte that new matte(alpha) with your original and and the blue areas yuouve keyed should disappear. - slide a background image in behind using and over node and it will show through the black areas of your matte.
roto those areas - add it to the matte before your switchmatte and press A again - the roto will be added to your matte. (if you have tracked/stabilized) stationary/tracked or otherwise and those areas which were intially lost in your key will be brought back to your switchmatted picture.
I am using a green backdrop. So if I do this, I will get back the coin's glowing green reflection from the original footage.
you should consantly be hitting A and C when pulling a key to see the results of what you are doing in your key/roto mattes are affecting which parts of your image are included/excluded.
OK, I see.
I tend to use Keylight's status or replacementcolor views for this.
only after that process should any color correction be added - i dont know where you are getting odd hues from because your not/shouldnt be doing anything that will result in color alteration by shake - only color identification in order to ascertain the areas to keep or remove later in the script.
I am not doing color correction, only in a separate branch where I employ some contrast to improve tracking conditions - but not in the Keying branch.
The blue hue comes from my chosen replacement color I have changed it to almost white, since we probably will model a white background for the comp.
Then I will have to do the keying again, and probably use quite a few keyframes...
Do you have input on using keyframes when keying? Is this something that you often employ in your workflow, or is it a sign of footage that really needs re-taking? (I can upload a digestible copy of the footage somewhere, if you'd lend an opinion whether you think it's worth working on, or if I should retake it).
Thanks for your help so far!
Best regards;
E.

Loosing quality when import-export file

I am just wondering, if I loose some quality when I - lets say- an Apple Pro Res 422 HQ 1080p video clip, I import to FCP, do some modifications, export to Pro Res 422 HQ again, import it to Photoshop, do some more modifications> export to the same, but find, I need to work in FCP again, import it, do some modification and export it again to Pro Res 422 HQ. Would there be a visible quality loss?
Dorian

Try this.
Make a copy of a clip.
Take the copy and edit/color/alter the images using all the operations you would normally.
Then, look at the original clip vs the altered clip on external monitoring devices (including scopes) to decide if you have an issue.
Good luck.

Efficient rendering

Hi.
I'm about to make a small program that will render a number of shapes on screen.
The way it works now (I'm extending an example) is that the render buffer is scanlined , and my program gets called width*height number of times, starting from top left to bottom right. This is good for some cases when you want to do color alterations etc on the entire buffer.
Now, what I want to do is draw a number of shapes. With current setup im forced to check if a pixel is inside any of my shapes for every pixel, which can be very heavy if I have a lot of shapes. Something much, much more efficient would be to actually render JUST the shapes as they are, say triangles, ontop of the buffer. This way each pixel would be processed without even one pixel of "spill".
With the current setup of getting a callback for each pixel I dont see this will ever be feasable , is this really the only way to draw things to the screen?
Isnt it possible to access the framebuffer in raw , like a simple SetPixel(x,y,value) type of call?
Another question I would like to squeeze in here is; how can I find out if i'm currently rendering a preview or a quality render? (I guess preview should using much faster code)
Many thanks,
Bill

yes it is possible to access a buffer pixel directly.
you need to get the base address for the buffer, and then add (y * rowbytes + x)
what are rowbytes?
the number of bytes in each buffer row is not width * pixelSize.
some bytes are added to the end of each row for padding. don't worry though. the rowbytes var is supplied to you in the world's structure.
all of this is implemented in the CCU sample.
the green circle is drawn directly onto the output buffer's pixels without using an iteration suite.
although the function in the CCU does go over all pixels and checks what's inside the circle and what's not,
but you'll see how the baseAddress + (y * rowbytes + x) is implemented.
as for the quality,
in_data->quality equals either PF_Quality_HI or PF_Quality_LO.
make your rendering decisions accordingly. (you don't have to, but users who like to work in draft mode will like that)

Alter label colors when using DefaultTreeModel

I have a JPanel with a bunch label and text fields that I organize using the DefaultTreeModel. What I have noticed is I cannot seem to alter the label text in any way. Is the model overriding my settings to things like Forground Colors?
Is there a way to get around this? I wish to make certain label bold or perhaps a different color.
-Andy

it doesn't use foreground, it uses a property from UIDefaults.... I forget the name of it, but you can get the list of property names from UIManager.getDefaults().whatever the name is and loop thru and print out all the properties. It'll be something like Tree.foreground

Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.? I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not cell content.

Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.?
I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not the content, of the target cell(s).

Hi Tom,
Your LOOKUP formula will return a value that it finds in the "other" table. That value can be used in conditional highlighting rules. (Numbers 3 calls it conditional highlighting, not conditional formatting. Just to keep us awake, I guess, but it works the same).
Please explain what you are trying to do.
Regards,
Ian.

Alter color of pattern swatch w/o editing

I'm trying to alter the color of a pattern without actually editing it - similar to layer masking in PhotoShop.
For instance, in the example below, I want to ultimately change the color of (the visible parts of) the pattern (middle layer) to shades of yellow (top layer), but still be able to see the green underneath. I don't want to manually change the pattern swatch because I don't know which swatch I want to use yet. I assume the answer is something relating to masking, and adjusting the blending mode. I just haven't figured out the specific way in which to do it. Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Ben
