Considering Purchase of Wacom Cintiq 27 HD Touch - Questions about Touch Functionality in Lightroom 5 & Photoshop CS6

I am considering purchase of a Wacom Cintiq 27 HD Touch monitor. I have a few questions relative to two Adobe programs and their use of "touch" functionality - Lightroom 5.7 and Photoshop CS6 running on Windows 7.
1. Have the problems related to touch functionality in Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5 been resolved that you see on this and Wacom's forums from a year ago?
2. If so, is there enough value gained via touch functionality in Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CS6 to warrant the $500 difference in price between the Cintiq 27 HD vs HD Touch? (I realize that this is a subjective question based on the abundance of one's cash.)
3. I plan to stay with CS6 as long as humanly possible to avoid a monthly software subscription, BUT I do wonder if purchasing the HD Touch now may provide additional touch functionality in future versions of these software products that are not currently available. (So this is a pie in the sky sort of question.)
Thanks,
Kent

Photoshop Touch support is added in CC 2014.2.2. However Wacom tablets like the Intuos Pro with touch can be use with prior versions of Photoshop and the Wacom Tablets Configurator can customized the tablets touch features to be used with Photoshop. I do not use LR but I'm sure the same would be true for it. You can configure setting for many applications. The device driver knows which application its interfacing with and uses the setting set for each..
I disable most of touch when using Photoshop. The Main reason I have a tablet is Photoshop Brush type tools. Like eraser, clone stamp, etc nothing is better then a pen when it come to creating layer mask. For most programs I still use a mouse and I use the Keyboard, Mouse and Pen with Photoshop....
I never wanted a Cintig I like not having my hand between my eyes and work. I not an artist though.

Question about "Apply Now" window in Photoshop CS6

Is there a way to turn off such warning or notification windows like the "Apply Now" Yes or No window that appears after certain changes, such as resizing an image? Also frustrating that I have to reselect the Select tool in order for the change to take place. thanks for any help. I am a former Elements 8 to CS6 user, so I may be missing something.

Never having used a discussion board before, I am not sure how to even make a response to yours, but let’s see if this works. If I am in a .psd file, and say I resize an image…a photo. In order to make the resize take effect, I cannot just click my cursor onto another area of the file, as it won’t release that particular layer I am on. I have to go back to my tool box and select the Pointer Tool or select too again. Once I do that, Photoshop sends up a window asking if I want to apply my changes…every time. Does this make sense?

Question about the function module (RFC_READ_TABLE)

Dear everyone
Could I ask you a question about the function module (RFC_READ_TABLE)?
I was asked if it's possible to create a report which compares the data between different SAP systems (both production systems).
Now, the easiest way would be to use the function module (RFC_READ_TABLE) within a SAP infoset query (SQ01 type query).
But I heard the rumor that using the function module (RFC_READ_TABLE) is not advisable due to the security reason.
However, I am not exactly sure what sort of security problems this function module can possibly have...
Would you help me on this?
I also would like to know if using "remote enabled module" type function module can always overcome this possible security issue.
Or, are there any points that I need to be careful about even when I use "remote enabled module" function module?
Thank you very much in advance.
Takashi

Dear Fred-san
Thank you very much for your support on this.
But, may I double check about what you mentioned above?
So, what you were mentioning was that if some user executes the query with
the function module (RFC_READ_TABLE), under the following conditions, he can access to
the HR data even when he does not have the authorizations for HR transactions?
<Conditions>
1. the user has the authorization for HR database tables themselves
2. RFC_READ_TABLE is called to retrieve the data from HR database
<example>
Data: LF_HR_TABLE like DD02L-TABNAME value 'PA0000'.
CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_READ_TABLE'
   EXPORTING
    query_table                = LF_HR_TABLE
TABLES
   OPTIONS                    =
   fields                     =
   data                       =    .
But then, as long as we call this function module for a non-critical tables such as
VBAP (sales order) or EKKO (purchase order) within our query, it wouldn't seem to be
so security risk to use RFC_READ_TABLE...
Besides, each query (infoset query) has got the concept of user groups, which limits
the access to the queries within the user group.
※If someone does not belong to the user group, he cannot execute the queries within that
   user group, etc
So, my feeling is that even infoset queries does have authorization concept...
Would you give me your thought on this?
I also thank you for your information for SCU0.
That is an interesting transaction
Kind regards,
Takashi

Question about selecting vector paths in Photoshop

Hi, I have a question about selecting path points in photoshop.
This is the setup. I have a vector shape layer (the redi circle). but that's placed inside a group with a vector mask (the black pentagon). What I want to do is select parts of the red circle using click and drag) so I can modify portions of the circle).
This is Photoshop's behavior as I've noticed it. Photoshop likes to select the shapes for you, and will target layers on its own when you use the Path Selection Tool. It tends to want to select the top most shape. If I target the shape layer first, I can use the Direct Selection tool to select individual points. I can add selected points bu shift+clicking.This is all well and good.
If I try to select multiple points using click+drag though, it gets a bit weird.
If I try to click+drag to select multiple points from within the vector mask (from the black), it will fail and select the vector mask. If i try to click+drag to select multiple points from outside the vector mask (from the white), then it will allow me to select points from my vector shape like i intended.
I could also shift click to hide the vector mask, and it will work the way i want.
Is there an easy way to tell photoshop not to auto target vector shapes? or a better way to select paths inside vector masks?
Thanx for any input

Sure.
Simply click once on the vector mask for the shape layer (red circle) to highlight that vector mask in the Layers Panel. Then when you click-drag the anchors of that path will be selected, not the group's path.
If you have no mask highlighted, Photoshop assumes it should select the first path it comes in contact with.

Question about Percent Function

This kinda goes along with my question about the plus sign. That was answered by the fact it means there is more than can be displayed in the field with the plus sign. The problem I am having is all of the fields with the plus sign are formated to be PERCENT. These fields are filled in via the C# program. The values are calculated in the C# program and outputed to the PDF form in the form of 00.00 - 100.00. Thus if I am filling in these fields with values that are within a PERCENT range, then why are they showing a plus sign. I have even go as far as to wipe the field clean, re-do the Text box, re-format as PERCENT, with the text centered, and the No Calculation radio button set true. The only other thing I do these fields is set the FONT to 10 point or otherwise the huge in size.

Thank you all for the help on this. What I found is:
it is correct that the incoming value to a fillable field for a PERCENT must be between 0 and 1 BUT this is NOT the complete answer.
If I filled the field with 33.33 then it will display 33.33 + which says the display is too big.
If I filled the field with .3333 thin it will display .3333 without the PLUS sign, but is still not correct because the FORMAT is set to PERCENT.
What I had to do is add the following JAVA script.
// Custom Calculate script for text field
(function () {
    // Get the field values
    var v1 = getField("NO_FEAR_ASSOC_WITH_TARGETED_DISABILITY_PERCENT_1").value;
    // Set this field value
    event.value = v1;
Now if the input is .3333 the display is now 33.33% which is correct. Sense the JAVA Script is basicly a NOP, this tells me that the PERCENT format requires some kind of trigger. Sense a FILL is NOT a trigger, the display comes out incorrect.

Question about 2 functions.

OK, new question from me.
I have two functions, bassicly they are smilar, but the problem is that I need that second function to start up or become active, after certain amount of time or when "x" reaches 1000. How can I do this?
And second question is, both functions make objects apper on stage in exact coordinates (5 spots), how can I make that objects woun't apper on the same spot, bassicly it would check if that position is occupied, it chooses other spot. (spot choosing is performed by random)
Oh, and third question.
I want to make the object to be active for two seconds, and then it disapper, my thought was to make tween, but couldn't find the type of appearance.

1. You can check the condition to determine if you should do something, i.e.
if (x >= 1000) {
// do something
2. First randomise an Array [Spot 1, Spot 2, Spot 3, Spot 4, Spot 5], then place your object to the spot in the order of the array item.
3. My favorite way is to use TweenLite.delayedCall(). For example if you want to remove something in 2 seconds time you do:
TweenLite.delayedCall(2, remove, [anObject]);
function remove(displayObject:DisplayObject):DisplayObject {
return removeChild(displayObject);
(You can use Timer class etc for this but TweenLite wins always )

IPod Touch question about Firewire and USB cable

I just bought a USB 2.0 extension cable on ebay to charge my 64 GB iPod Touch. I also bought a USB wall socket that I was going to plug the extension cord in to (I haven't received the wall socket yet). Come to find out when testing the extension cord on my laptop I get the message " charging is not supported with this accessory". I thought that was the case only with firewire cables. But this is supposed to be USB 2.0 What's the deal? Can a firewire cable look like a regular USB cable? And does anyone have a work around that I can use?

I realized yesterday that I had another USB wall jack which I use at work to charge my IPT. I took it home with me plugged it into the wall and tried to charge the IPT without the USB extension cord, and it worked fine. When I connected the USB extension cord, I got the same message, "Charging is not supported with this accessory." I'm so frustrated. Mainly because I don't understand what is causing this issue and therefore don't know how to remedy it. I would buy another extension cord, but I don't know if that one will work either.
Here is the link to the USB extension cord that I purchased on ebay:

Question about touch handling

Hi,

The problem is that I want the events inside the tabbar area to be handled by tabbar did select method but could not find a way to do this . If touch handling is on event inside the tabbar has no effect.

Basic questions about the CM handling of Photoshop

I have some basic questions how Potoshop handles colour management. Most probably this has been discussed many times before, but frankly, the manual is pretty poorly written on this subject. I do understand the principle of colour management pretty well, but am not sure whether I understand what Photoshop is doing. So could somebody please comment whether my reasoning is correct or not.
Let's assume my monitor is calibrated and its profile loaded in OSX's monitor preference panel. Let's further assume I'm working strictly in RGB.
Is the following correct:
• When I open a picture which has an embedded profile, then Photoshop first calculates the "true" values from the embedded profile (whatever this means) and from this point the screen representation based on the profile which I defined in the system pref pane. So the screen representation remains always the same, regardless of the embedded profile (besides some possible conversion artefacts, especially on the edges of the colour space).
• The same holds true in the opposite direction, so when I work on that picture on screen, then no matter which RGB space I pick as my working space, the result will always be exactly the same (except those aforementioned artefacts).
• Hence it doesn't matter which RGB colour space I choose as my working space, it could be sRGB, Adobe RGB, "my own wild profile", whatever, the results are always the same. Of course the RGB values will differ, but this will be compensated by the embedded profile.
• Yet the theoretically best working space is the colour space of my monitor, because this minimizes possible artefacts.
• When I "convert" the picture from one profile into an other, then not only that new profile is assigned and embedded, but also the RGB values are recalculated accordingly, so that the result will remain the same. For example, I could first "convert" a picture from the camera space to my monitor space, then work on it, and finally "convert" it to sRGB before uploading it to a web site.
• When I "assign" a new profile, then a new profile is simply assigned and embedded but the RGB values are not adjusted. So the RGB values remain the same, but because a different profile is embedded, the picture will actually be changed. Since Photoshop will recalculate the screen representation based on that new profile (and the monitor profile), I will see this change on the screen. (This action doesn't make much sense, except maybe to simulate the possible outcome on a system which misinterprets the profile, e.g. assumes sRGB.)
• And finally, when I leave the picture untouched but change the monitor profile in the system pref pane, then of course the picture will not change, but its screen representation will change, because Photoshop uses that profile to calculate the screen representation. (This action makes even less sense, of course.)
Have I understood? Then I have two final questions:
• When I open a RGB file without any profile in it, what does Photoshop assume? How does it calculate the screen display? What does it do if I "convert" such a picture or "assign" a profile?
• If I select in the colour settings as working color space the monitor space, then the colour managment rule for RGB changes to "Colour management off" and can't be changed to a different value. I don't understand this.
Thanks for your patience.

• Yet the theoretically best working space is the colour space of my monitor, because this minimizes possible artefacts.
No.
(Edit: Any one screen usually has to be considered incidental, changing and transient and is not the target-medium, so it makes little sense to work based on its specific limitations.)
• When I open a RGB file without any profile in it, what does Photoshop assume? How does it calculate the screen display? What does it do if I "convert" such a picture or "assign" a profile?
If one opens an unprofiled file, Photoshop treats it as if it had the profile selected under RGB-Working-Space embedded and calculates display and conversion on that basis.
(Edit: And that’s the danger of unprofiled files – they would look different if someone edited them who used a different Working Space.)
Assigning such a file a profile is no different from assigning a profiled image a different profile – the RGB-values remain unchanged, the »key« for interpreting them changes and subsequently it will be displayed differently.

Few questions about sql2008 functions and commands

hello,
I am learning sql2008 implementation and maintenance,I am just 2 weeks bussy.there is some questions in my mind wich I can't answer it.
1-when I can use USE MASTER statement
2-can a database for example (test) have many and unlimmited file groups?
3-what is the diferrence between file and filegroup! is the term of file means tables in filegroup?
4-with boundary points does mean the data type when creating partition function!
5`what is diferrence between full text index and index,where you have to use the index and wher you have to use full text index?
6-each filegroup must have one partition or one partition can have many filegroups in partition scheme!
7-do you have to partition every scheme or not! where do you have to partition a scheme and where not?
8-can you give a little example with switch operator!
9-again do you have to partition every table and index in the real world or not!
thanks

Hi,
Let me try to answer your questions:
You need to use USE MASTER whenever you need to do some work in the MASTER database and the database context is not that.
Yes, a database can have many filegroups. Please check this article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179316.aspx
Please check this article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179316.aspx
As per BOL:
boundary_value is a constant expression that can reference variables. This includes user-defined type variables, or functions and user-defined functions. It cannot reference Transact-SQL expressions.
boundary_value must either match or be implicitly convertible to the data type supplied in
input_parameter_type, and cannot be truncated during implicit conversion in a way that the size and scale of the value does not match that of its corresponding
input_parameter_type. For more details check
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187802.aspx
For simplicity: Full-Text index is used to search in a LOB/text data in a column, index is used to speed up your queries. Please check these articles:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms142571.aspx,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189271.aspx
As per BOL: When you create a partition scheme, you define the filegroups where the table partitions are mapped, based on the parameters of the partition function. You must specify enough filegroups to hold the number of partitions. You can specify that
all partitions map to a different filegroup, that some partitions map to a single filegroup, or that all partitions map to a single filegroup. You can also specify additional, "unassigned" filegroups in the event you want to add more partitions later. For
more info, please check
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188730.aspx
8. Please read the concept of partitioning here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190199.aspx and for SWITCH operator, please check the sliding window example at here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa964122(SQL.90).aspx
9. It depends :) but you always will have at least 1 partition!
I hope it helps.

Question about random function

Is there a way to get 6 random numbers that not the same? I need this because I'm making a lottery from numbers 1-20. I need to make sure I don't get duplicate numbers. Will I need to make a nested loop statement? Thx for whoever answers my questions.

Two things:
1) That's a very bad attitude on your prof's part, I think: "use what you know". First, on general principles, he should encourage students to learn new things to solve problems. But more importantly, part of the everyday work of being a programmer (both in industry and academia) is doing research, learning how to solve a problem, and applying what you've learned. If you can't look in the API to see what it offers and try to use what it offers, then you're no good as a programmer.
2) My guess is that he's thinking the two loops will be:
outer loop: until you have found 6 numbers, keep trying to find new random ones, which means
     selecting a random number and then:
inner loop: look through the existing list of selected random numbers; if you don't find the one you
     selected above add it to the end of the list; otherwise break this loop and go on to do another
     iteration of the outer loop.But who knows what he's thinking of? I hate it when the assignment is "read the teacher's mind." You also get a lot of this on job interviews: the interviewer asks a question that actually has several perfectly good responses, but you have to choose the one he likes best, because in fact the interviewer (often the "technical guy" at the business who isn't talented enough to be too busy to interview) isn't as smart as he thinks he is and only knows part of the answer.
Anyway, see where the above takes you. If I told you any more it would be cheating.

Question about sdo_relate function

My application has to check if a point geometry is inside (MASK='ANYINTERACT') a polygon geometry. I am trying to figure out if sdo_relate function works with rectangle only or if it works with polygon. I have wrote a few sql test and it seems to work with polygons, but I dont know how it works.
My question is, if the geometry is not a rectangle, why dont I have to use projection to project both geometry into a plane first?
For example if I have a polygon (-140, 35, -139, 36, -139, 35, -140, 34, -140, 35) and a point(-139.3, 35.6) how does sdo_relate finds out if the point is within the polygon without projecting them?
Thanks.

how does oracle connects the points in a polygon that's not on the same latitude or longitude?Your question is a little ambiguous. What do you mean by 'not on the same latitude..'? Are you talking about different coordinate systems? Or do you just mean how does Oracle know whether your point is inside the polygon or not?
If its the former then read:
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/B14255_01/sdo_cs_concepts.htm#i882173
If the latter, then suffice to say that Oracle Spatial knows how to work these things out in order to return the correct result.
Have a read of the spatial concepts documentation:

Exeedingly basic question about AirPort functionality . . .

Before I start digging into PDF manuals, I thought I'd ask if what I'm interested in is even possible. Thanks in advance for the information.
If I connect an external hard disk to my AirPort (via USB), obviously I can set it up to be accessible to any computer that connects to my network. I understand that. My question is, could I also access my hard disk from another internet connection? In other words, if I'm connected at Starbucks, and I need a file on my external HD, is it possible to set up the AirPort to allow me access (through some password-protected login, hopefully) via my Starbucks internet connection?
Again, thanks very much in advance for saving me the time of looking all this up.

Yes, you can.
