Create A Realistic Effect Of Water Running From A Tap

Came across this neat photoshop tutorial,that works in PSE3 with a few minor tweaks
I used a copy layer at the 'Edit Fade' stage - mode Hard Light
I used Image / Transform / Distort for Edit /Transform /Warp
http://www.tutorialwiz.com/water_on_tap/

Thanks for looking into this, Scott. Please let me know if there's a fix.
I did find a workaround, but I'd rather be able to use the tool as I did with Frame 8. For the workaround, I copy the ditamap and then open it in Notepad. I then change this:
<!DOCTYPE map PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Map//EN" "map.dtd" ["
to this:
<!DOCTYPE map PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Composite//EN" "ditabase.dtd" [
I save the copy and open it in Frame10. Frame pops up the Save Book dialog box, and then I can create my book. I get one folder with the composite FM files that I expect. Only thing is, the graphic sizes don't come across correctly (they're all too big). So I have to manually resize them. Also, for some reason, I can't change the DPI when I use the Frame Object Properties dialog. It only allows me to change the Percent.

How to create game in flex3 to run from cd?

I want to create a game in flex3 (action script project). I
have created game in flash 8 and flash cs3 to run from cd. But I
dont know how create a game using as3 in flex 3 for cd. I am new in
flex. can anyone guide me? I just need a guidance of what should I
do or maintain to run the game from cd?

Flex produce final output in .swf file, which same as flash
output, So whatever you compile from Flex it will produce one .swf
into Bin folder, that you can use for running it from CD.

Is it possible to create an invoive that keeps a running total in one column and in another column keep total of monies spent from a starting amount of funding?

Hi Sara,
Many thanks for your reply. We just brought Adobe Acrobat XI Pro complete
with Adobe Forms Central, My manager asked whether I could use the forms
part to create a summary tracking sheet for all of our contracts.
Having looked at it I could see how to create a table that in the first
column deleted costs from a starting fund, and in the last keeps a running
total of all monies spent.
I agree, Excel does seem to be much better suited to the task. I was try

Create trigger not audited when run from sql developer Version 3.2.20.09

Creating or editing a trigger is not being stored in the audit table when run from sql developer.
Here is a sample script to show the issue:
Grant Connect,create table,create trigger To testuser Identified By testuser;
create table testuser.testtab(t1 number);
Select Count(*) From Dba_Audit_Trail Where Owner='TESTUSER';
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER testuser.testtab_bi_trg BEFORE
Insert
ON testuser.testtab FOR EACH ROW
begin
null;
end;
Select Count(*) From Dba_Audit_Trail Where Owner='TESTUSER';
drop user testuser cascade;
If I run the script from sql developer the CREATE TRIGGER statement does not get audited.
If I run the script from sql plus or All Arround Automations PL/SQL Developer the CREATE TRIGGER statement does get audited.
If I edit the trigger from sql developer the CREATE TRIGGER statement does not get audited.
If I edit the trigger from All Arround Automations PL/SQL Developer the CREATE TRIGGER statement does get audited.

DoyleFreeman wrote:
Not sure what you mean by "perform the audit".
Have you tested my script? Does the "Select Count(*) From Dba_Audit_Trail Where Owner='TESTUSER';" increment by 1 after each of the ddl statements or only after the Create table statement.
Your question doesn't have ANYTHING to do with sql developer and should be posted in the Database General forum
https://forums.oracle.com/community/developer/english/oracle_database/general_questions
Yes - and it works just fine once you ENABLE AUDITING. Your scripIt does NOT include the statements or code used to ENABLE auditing and, specifically, enable auditing for triggers.
Auditing doesn't just 'happen'; you have to enable it and you have to specify any non-default auditing that you want to perform.
Have you read any of the extensive documentation about auditing to learn how to use it?
See the Database Security Guide
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/network.112/e16543/auditing.htm
Also see 'Auditing Functions, Procedures, Packages, and Triggers
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/network.112/e16543/auditing.htm#BCGBEAGC
And see the AUDIT statement in the SQL language doc for how to specify auditing of specific operations.

Class not being created when running from jar

Hi all,
Tech info first:
IDE: Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8
Plaform: windows xp
I have created a Swing app, that connects to a com port(using the RXTXcomm). now, when I run the app in the IDE, everything is fine and dandy, but, when I run the jar file, the application loads, but the class in the app which deals with the com port is not created. here is the code:
    private static void createAndShowGUI() {
        //Make sure we have nice window decorations.
        JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
        Main receiver = new Main();
        receiver.getPropertiesFromFile();
        //Create and set up the window.
        frame = new JFrame("R�FILOG RFID Empf�nger");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setContentPane(receiver.mainPanel);
        frame.setJMenuBar(receiver.createMenuBar());
        frame.addWindowListener(receiver);
        frame.setLocationByPlatform(true);
        //Display the window.
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
        portListener = new RFIDReaderComm(receiver, "COM3");
        portListener.getConfiguration();
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //Schedule a job for the event-dispatching thread:
        //creating and showing this application's GUI.
        javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                createAndShowGUI();
portListener in the createAndShowGUI() function is an interface level parameter and is the class that is not being created. There is no error message.
If I move the two lines that deal with the port listener before the frame.pack() line, then the GUI is not even loaded, and when I view the processes in the task manager, the process starts and then quits without anything becoming visible. So from this I guess there is a problem with creating the class when running from a jar, but without any error messages, I have not a clue where to start...can anyone help?
thanks in advance.

Well, some more info, so maybe someone can come up with some tips for me...this is really important, and any help is greatly appreciated.
This is obviously a classpath problem. After running the my jar file with java -jar I finally got the error NoClassDefFoundError
Kind of obvious I suppose. But, I cannot seem to get the two jar files I need into the classpath. I have tried the following:
Updating my computers CLASSPATH with the relevant paths - not working
Trying to get the Sun Java Studio Enterprise to build the required jar files into the final package - cannot get this to work
Tried updating the manifest.mf in the following way:
Created a text file Manifest.txt with the lines:
Class-Path: RXTXcomm.jar
Class-Path: BrowserLauncher2-10rc4.jar
ran the command (in the same directory as Manifest.txt):
jar cfm RUFILOGScanner.jar Manifest.txt classes/*.class
but this does not work either. When I run: jar tf RUFILOGScanner.jar all I get is:
META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
classes/
classes/CRCCalculator.class
classes/Main$1.class
classes/Main.class
classes/RFIDReaderComm.class
classes/URLDialog$1.class
classes/URLDialog$2.class
classes/URLDialog.class
the classes I want added are not there. Plus, (I think this is because I am running SE8) the manifest.mf is not in a folder called META-INF. In fact, I have no folder called META-INF. Is this significant?
Please, can anyone help me?

Using pages, how can I create a label run from contacts

Using pages, how can I create a label run from contacts?

How do I create auto run from one slideshow to another in idvd?

Hi! It is my 1st time using iDVD. I've created 6 buttons with each button for 1 set of slideshow. Every time 1 slideshow finishes, it goes back to the main menu and I have to select the next button to play the next set of slideshow. How can I set it to have all the slideshows automatically played sequentially? Other words, can I have a PLAY ALL button on top of all the 6 buttons?
Thank you.

... When I burnt my idvd slideshow project to a dvd on best performance, the image quality is really bad. It has lost all his sharpness and it just looks blur.
You'll need to understand that pictures and video are not the same thing and if you convert on to the other you will loose quality. What you are doing is taking a still image that consists of millions of pixels and putting it into a 720x480 frame that consists of two interlaced fields.
If you are not happy with the quality you can try software like Photo to Movie or Fotomagico. Both seem to do a good job creating video from stills.
lizapple wrote:
My TV is a HD flat screen.
And that is about four times bigger than the SD DVD you created. Already the process of going from stills to video is not easy and enlarging a compressed image is only going to make it worse. If you want to play on an HDTV you'll need either to create a Blu-Ray disc or get a player with outstanding upscaling qualities.

How to create a ripple effect on grid

Hello,
I'm trying to distort a standard 20x20 line grid to make it look as if it has a ripple running through it. I've tried putting the grid into photoshop and using various filters but they don't seem to work. Also the liquify tool in photoshop just created messy results. I want it to have a basic 3 dimensional look. Is there a simple way to do this?
Thanks for your help,
Ben

Monika,
I'm trying to recreate the 3D effect of an object being dropped into water. However instead of using a solid vector, I'm trying to recreate the effect within a grid of lines. Maybe the image I uploaded above would help explain it better?
The lines in the grid need to bend and distort so that it looks as if the ripple is going through the grid.
The only thing I've done so far is create a 3d model of a ripple and use the wire frame view but when looking at it from above the lines don't create the ripple effect as you can see in the below image:
Does this make more sense now?

How to create a Custom Effect?

First of all, I'm sorry, if I make any mistakes writing this post! I actually am German!
I would like to know how I can alter the Animation Presets in AE CS5, that are quite messy because they just are a collection of effects, into the much more organised and nicer Custom Effects like Andrew Kramer (from Video Copilot) has on his website for free download.
I already tried out a tutorial from aetuts+ ("Create Your Own Custom Effects!"), but it just didn't work and told me it couldn't apply my effect when I runned the script (maybe because it actually was written for AE CS4).
So my question is: Is there an easy way to organize the effects and expressions from an ordinary preset to make the preset friendlier to use? And even if it's not easy, is there a way at all?
I thank you in advance and hope you can help me!

(As always: Sorry for mistakes! )

Mylenium schrieb:
[...] You can store a ton of things in a simple animation preset, so whether or not you turn them into "custom" effects is not of much consequence in the end. [...]
I might have asked my question badly so I want to say some more things about it:
I do not want to create a real plug-in like Andrew Kramer's "Action Essentials" for example. Something like his little presets you can download with his projects like the first lightsaber "plug-in" he made was what I thought about. (It might actually be a bad example, because it could have involved some serious programming, but I'm refering more to the way, it is customized than the way it functions.)
I just want to have one panel (like each individual built-in effect) that controls the effects. I find it really annoying and messy to have to change the values from sliders that are all in their own panel. So I'm not looking to programming any plug-in, just to organizing a preset in a way, it becomes more comfortable to use.
Mylenium schrieb:

That's really bad, because that tutorial trained exactly what I wanted! But thank you for the advice!

You're right, it's a waste of time to make things more comfortable to use! Imagine After Effects would have a nice interface which by the way also looks kind of cool!

I have to create a presentation about waste water management. The students needs to see how the water flows in the system. Which is the best Adobe program for this task?

I need to show dirty water, the treatment, and the clean water after treatment. It is necessary to see how the water flows in the tubes.
Which is the best Adobe program fr this job?

After Effects, but be ready for a steep learning curve. Third party plug-ins may be required if you want realistic flow. Schematic diagrams are fairly easy to create with After Effects. I do it all the time.

Create a realistic photo

Hi everybody,
I've been searching in Google all types of tutorials on how to create a realistic photo using my Photoshop CS2, but each tutorial I found, the way they explain each step is like you are already a professional. In my case, I'm only a beginer and I would like to know if any of you can help me to find a good tutorial explaining step by step how to create a realistic photo using CS2 and if its ilustrated with photos, will be much better for me.
Thanks a lot in advance!!

I'm sure that there similar covered in various books, and probably on some Web sites, but I do not know of one offhand.
John covers it pretty well above.
To simplify, do this in two parts. First, create your background image. This could be anything, from maybe a stylized photograph, to a blank light-colored Layer, to a scanned piece of art paper. Next, take the image that you want to create your "photograph" from. Set your Foreground Color to white, or something very light. Go to Image>Canvas, and increase the Canvas size by say, one-half inch (experiment). Leave the default position of your image in the middle, so that the Canvas will be added on all four sides equally. This will result in a 1/4" white "border" all around your image. Now, drag that image to your background image. With this new Layer (the one you just dragged into the background image) active, hit Ctrl+T (Free Transform). You will get a Bounding Box with Handles at each corner, plus one at the mid-point of each side. First, I would place the cursor outside that Bounding Box, and you'll see it turn into a curved line with an arrowhead at each end. This is for Rotation. Rotate this Layer, as you see fit. Now, go to one of the lower corners of the Bounding Box, press Ctrl, and click-drag on one of those corners. You want to create the look of perspective (wider at the bottom and leave the top about the same. Go to the other lower corner and do the same, until you have the look that you want. When satisfied, Dbl-click inside the Bounding Box to accept your modifications. Now, you can add a Drop Shadow to that Layer. The Layer Effects will allow you to do this simply. Personally, I like to build my own Drop Shadows, but that can get somewhat involved, and the Layer Effect>Drop Shadow should work fine.
Now, if you want to add things like curls and highlights, there is a lot more work, and also several ways to do those. These are a bit more advanced, and I'll see if maybe there's a "page-curl" tutorial available. Photoshop User, the NAPP publication had an article on this fairly recently, but I do not recall the volume number, or if it's available on-line to a non-NAPP member. It covered both the curl and the sheen to indicate the curl better.
Good luck,
Hunt

How can I create a fIlter to delete only "junk" from the server?

One of my E-mail accounts is that of a major client. I handle their customer service online. Normally our protocol is to always leave all messages on the server, so for that one Thunderbird account, I have it set to never delete messages on the server.
But the account recently started getting a lot of junk messages. Thunderbird is doing a remarkable job at marking those and placing them in the junk folder for that account. I would like to create a filter that could remove them from the server, preferably those more than "x" days old so I could monitor the activity to be sure that no important message are removed.
I did notice that in "Filters" I can create a custom filter from a header of my choice, but can't seem to create what I want which is:
- after mail is marked as Junk by Thunderbird to delete those messages from the server if they are older than "X" days (my choice of "X").
- not delete any other messages from the server for that account

I believe that did it! Thank you. I am running those changes on a secondary E-Mail address for the same job and server and it appears to be working properly.

Crystal report run from ASP code significantly slower than when run in CRS

We have CRS XI R2. I developed a report that contains several on-demand sub-reports. The report and sub-reports are very fast when run directly from CRS. However, when I run from ASP (users run a link from the intranet), it takes 4 times longer (1 second on CRS, vs. 5-10 seconds on intranet). The report takes longer, bringing up a sub-report takes longer and paging through sub-reports take longer. What can be done to improve the speed of the report that is using the ASP code? I used a sample program provided at this support site to develop the report and it is pretty basic code. The only time I have a problem is when I have many sub-reports. Since they are on-demand, I do not know why this would matter.

This has been created as an incident with SAP support. Things that you will want to check is making sure that you handle the postback to the code as you do not need to run your entire code on every postback. This will help performance after the original load.
One other thing is to compare performance with the viewer within Infoview that uses the same backend server as your application, ie PSReportFactory uses the page server, so you'll want to test with the DHTML viewer. RAS code (reportclientdocument) uses the Report Application Server so you will want to test with the Advanced DHTML viewer.

Can I create a custom SCSM task that runs on the server?

I'm new to SCSM (got roped in as the developer/Powershell guy). I see instructions for adding a custom task to SCSM, which I know generally run from the user's console, under their security context. I also found a reference to "runtime tasks" which
run from the server. Is there a way for me to make a custom task that runs from the server?
If it helps, I'll be creating a task that implements the Poweshell script found
here that converts an incident to a service request. I'd much rather the conversion take place on the server so that we don't need to deploy the SMlets Powershell module (and another dependency) on each user's workstation.
Thanks!

Not sure what capabilities you have, but would something like this be useful?
