Creating a custom defined brush to use as a watermark

Hi there - I have reviewed a couple of videos on how to create a watermark "stamp" by using the define brush option. However after following all of the instructions up to the point where I am supposed to select the area to define I can go no further. It says to select the image/text and then go to edit -> define brush. When I do this the define brush option is faint and I cannot select it. The videos all appear to be done using Elements 11 or earlier. It this a glitch with 12?

Can I create a custom XMP panel but using the exact same fields from standard XMP panels?

Hi,
I am new to XMP and not very technical, so please excuse me if this sounds like a stupid question!
I have managed to create my own custom panels for Photoshop using the Generic Panel method with my own custom fields and they work fine. However what I need to do now is create a custom panel that uses the exact same fields from some of the standard panels. The reason being is that I have 4 fields that need to be integrated into another non-adobe system (Extensis Portfolio) that recognizes standard XMP fields, but at present these 4 fields are spread across different standard panels and it would be much easier for the user in Photoshop if they were all together on one panel.
An example field is the "Additional Model Info" field that currently resides on the standard IPTC Extension panel. If I fill in a value in this field on a JPEG then open the the image in Extensis Portfolio, then the field is also filled in in a field called IPTC - Model Info, displaying a key of Iptc4xmpExt:AddlModelInfo.
Is there a way I can take this standard field and use it on a custom panel, so that it can still be filled in in Photoshop and the value viewed in Extensis Portfolio? Sure I can create a custom panel and create a field called "Additional Model Info" but I can't figure out how to connect it to the corresponding field in Portfolio. I tried changing the xmp_property name="Iptc4xmpExt:AddlModelInfo" but this just broke the panel.
Is what I am trying to do possible and if so how and can it be done using the Generic Panel method?
Many thanks!

I am trying to do the same thing but with only the IPTC Keywords field. Searching everywhere but no luck.
Thanks!

Creating a custom view to be used in Discoverer

Hi Everyone,
I would like to create a view, that can be used in Discoverer.
I am new to Oracle and was wondering if
1) the hardcoded values in the WHERE clause can be made into variables
2) if (1) is true, can the Discoverer parms drive/be the values of the variables for the sql?
SQL statement is below,
tx for any assistance, Sandra
SELECT
S1.ID
, S1.NAME
, SA1.ACADEMIC_PERIOD
, SA1.STUDENT_ATTRIBUTE
, IJ.STUDENT_ATTRIBUTE
FROM STUDENT_ATTRIBUTE SA1
INNER JOIN STUDENT S1
     ON SA1.PERSON_UID = S1.PERSON_UID
INNER JOIN
                         SELECT
                         SA2.ACADEMIC_PERIOD

     S1.ACADEMIC_PERIOD = '200920' AND
     SA1.STUDENT_ATTRIBUTE = 'SD'
ORDER BY S1.NAME

Hi Sandra
I'm glad you got it.
With regards to custom folders, I have to humbly disagree with the opinion expressed by my learned friend John. I have found that the most dramatic improvements I can make to a reporting system lie within the database. Within a tool there is usually nothing I can do to improve the performance that you get out of your database, but there is an awful lot you can do, and typically have done, to mess it up.
Above everything else, I am a reporting mentor and I get called in to work on systems where reporting is not working very well. I can tell you that rarely do I find that making changes to an EUL solves the problem.
Most of the time the fault lies in the database with it not being designed for reporting purposes. What I do is evaluate, formulate and activate. I analyze the problem, I work out the solution then I implement the solution. I have worked on systems where Discoverer reports, which granted are not the fastest in the world to begin with, have taken 30 minute or longer to run. When I am done I have these working in 1 minute or less. In a nutshell, or three words actually, you need to SIP your database, that is to summarize, index and partition the data within it in such a way that it has no choice but to behave.This is something you cannot do with a custom folder.
If anyone reading this is having trouble with a reporting system playing up you need to act now, change it or call someone who can, and make it perform the way you want. Your users will love you for it.
Best wishes
Michael

Creating a custom component in multisim using *.lib and *.olb files

i have *.lib and *.olb files for a pspice model. which file i have to you while creating a custom component in multisim.

Hello,
Thanks for your question. In order to create simulatable custom components in Multisim you need a SPICE model (Multisim can also understand PSpice Models). The file format for SPICE model can be different according to the manufacturer, for instance: *.cir, *.lib, *.llb. At the end of the day these files are text files that you can open with a text editor, therefore, you can simply copy and paste the model in Multisim.
Here are two good resources on component creation:
Component Creation 101
Creating a Custom Component in NI Multisim
When you reach the step where you need to enter the SPICE model, simply open the *.lib or *.olb file with a text editor, and copy and paste the model.
Hope this helps.

How to create a custom transition for further use?

Hi,
I created a transition which looks like CoverFlow (like in iTunes): clip moving from full screen to the left hand side in a distorted position with a reflection underneath, then fading out while on the right hand side the new clip fades in and moves then to full screen. Looks rather nice...
Instead of typing all the keyframed coordinates again and again, I would like to make it into an transition effect which I use just like all the other transitions.
Is there a way to do this in FCP 5.1.4?

Well...
One way to do this would be to razorblade apart the actual keyframed portions of the outgoing clip, then past attributes> motion and filters

[SOLVED] Created a custom Exaile splash, could use some polishing

Hey there i made a modified Exaile splash to blend in better with my desktop/theme, but it's pretty rough and if anyone would like to change it up or has any ideas for me that would be awesome. I'm not so great with gimp/photoshop as you can probably see, but its a start. Here are pics of the splash and the theme i want to match:
Thanks!

Error while creating Custom Defined Functions in Essbase

Hi All, I am trying to create CDF(Custom Defined Functions) in Essbase. Iwant to create a function which take list of child member andreturn the first child. For this, i have created a java file called"ChildAccess.java" which contains the following code: public class ChildAccess { public static char GetFirstMember(char [] members) { return members[0]; } } I have compiled and made jar file called"ChildAccess.jar" and pasted it at"ARBORPATH/java/udf". Then i restarted the Essbase Serverand run the following MaxL command to register the function create or replace function '@ChildAccess' as 'ChildAccess.GetFirstMember' spec '@ChildAccess(memberRange)' comment 'adds list of input members'. Till here i am not getting any error but when i am using thisfunction in my calc script as given below FIX(@ChildAccess(@CHILDREN("Abc"))) it gives the following error "Error:1200414 Error parsing formula for [FIX STATEMENT] (line 2)"argument[1] may not have size[6] in function[@CHILDREN]" NOTE: The SIZE[6] is giving the no. of child in member"ABC". Thanks in Advance Arpit

If you want to use the CDF in a FIX statement you need to make sure that it returns a member name rather than a number: public class ChildAccess { public static String GetFirstMember(String[] members) { return members[0]; } } I prefer to define the function against a specific application rather than globally because you only need to restart the application in order to pick-up any modifications to the .jar file. So the MaxL function definition would be: create or replace function appname.'@_GETFIRSTMEMBER' as 'ChildAccess.GetFirstMember(String[])'; and in the calculation script the FIX statement would become: fix ( @member( @_GetFirstMember( @name( @children( "Abc" ) ) ) ) ) This looks a little messy so you can use a macro to simplify it: create or replace macro appname.'@GETFIRSTMEMBER'(single) as '@member( @_GETFIRSTMEMBER( @name( @@1 ) ) )' SPEC "@GETFIRSTMEMBER(memberRange)"; and then the FIX statement could be written: fix( @getfirstmember( @children( "PRODUCT" ) ) )

Customer Defined Data Classes on Cluster Tables?

Hi all,
I noticed that there is no option within db13 to change the storage option to a customer defined data class, for cluster tables. I am sure this is by design but wanted to check to see if anyone has had any luck defining a data class on a cluster table.
We could move a cluster table to a DB2 tablespace and define the new Data Class through dbacockpit/db02, but there is no option to change the data class definition in the data dictionary (se13) to use the new Data Class for the table itself.
Mainly what we are aiming for is to be able to move 2 tables into their own tablespaces on the target server, during a migration. Sapinst is looking at the Data Classes to create DDLDB6.XML, which defines the tablespace assignments to the target server, so perhaps there is a preferred method of making this change, if it does exist.
Thanks for any insights,
Derek

Hi guys,
Thanks for the helpful answers. I should add some more detail.
Our tablespaces have already been moved to new tablespaces on the source system, with DB6CONV, and we have updated our data classes through db02, with no problems. So sapinst uses the data class definitions to create the custom tablespaces, and then uses the data class assignments to assign the table to a tablespace.
However, the cluster tables do not seem to support the data class assignment in se13, the option is not available as it is for normal tables. Let me see if I can post a screenshot somewhere with a cluster table versus a normal table. For example, there is no option to change the data class for table CDCLS in se13.
I am wondering if this is a limitation of the version of R/3 we are using, or if the limitation for cluster tables is something that is intended on all versions of R/3.
If we can't use db13 to make the assignment, we may try the custom definition in the STR file as Kiran mentioned.

Creating a custom drum staff for score and hyper editor

Can anyone clearly explain, how to create a custom drum staff to use in Score page? Each manufactor uses a different mapping. I would like to create a drum score for Korg, Yamaha, BFD, Superior etc.
I often change drum kits (BFD, Yamaha, GM, Korg, etc) while working on a song. I want to create a drum staff style to accomodate each of these. So the drum notation will be standard drum notation.
There is a GM drum staff style in Logic. When I use a GM kit, it works fine. But the best drum instruments use several articulations of each drum. I can't figure out how to edit it a drum staff to display what I need.
For instance Kik is normally C1. But some some drum instruments might use B0, C1, G5, C-1, all playing different articulations of kiks. I need to create a staff style which will show all these different notes as showing up on the bottom of the drum staff (standard drum notation)
I can create a Hyper drumkit for each different brand of drum . But I can't figure out how you incorporate that into the score editor. You must have to create a custom drum staff. But it eludes me....
Thanx...

Thanks, i just found it also here:
http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java.util/CustEvent.html
i need to define the following class:
- Custom Listener extending the EventListener interface
- Custom Event extending EventObject class
and then finally add the corresponding:
addXXXListener
removeXXXListener
fireXXXEvent
in my component.
This work Great in the NetBeans GUI Builder.

Creating a custom dictionary for Acrobat and Reader.

I want to create a custom dictionary to be used by all of our users when they access a “forms document” through Adobe Reader/Acrobat.
Here are some of the issues:
The default dictionary name under Custom Dictionaries has a .clam extension.
Is there a way to edit this?
Does it contain the index settings for all the other added.txt and excluded.txt dictionary files?
The Reader's default location is under a user’s LocalLow folder.
C:\Users\PIN\ AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Linguistics\Dictionaries\Adobe Custom Dictionary.
The Acrobat default location is under the user's Roaming folder.
C:\Users\PIN\ AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Linguistics\Dictionaries\Adobe Custom Dictionary\.
This is buried under the users profile and we need to be able to update these files on all the user’s workstations prior to log on.
This could be done by redirection of the new custom dictionary. What is the location of that setting in the registry?
Is there is a way to append to the standard dictionary file so as not to replace any setting that a user may have made to the dictionary?
Is this done to the .clam or .txt file outside of the Adobe Reader application?
What is the “All” setting in the dictionary?
Does that imply the program will look through all the dictionaries?
Is there a way to create a new dictionary name that would appear under the preferences\spelling\dictionaries list. Is there an Index file that would point to a newly created Dictionary folder?

Custom dictionaries must be created with a 3rd party program provided by Proximity (http://www.proximitytechnology.com/spell_correction.htm).
The spelling support files are installed in this directory for all users (this is only the default)
C:\Program Files\Adobe\<product>\Resource\Linguistics\Providers\Proximity
File types include:
ENV - eg: grmphon.env - the phonetic rule file for the spelling dictionary language. There is one of these “ENV” file for each language.
CLX - eg: grm32.clx - a language related part of spelling dictionary. There is one of these “CLX” file for each language.
LEX - eg: grm104.lex - an actual spelling dictionary. There may be several dictionaries for a given language, for example, grm104.lex, grm10401.lex.
So the answer is:
Create a custom dictionary with Proximity and use the Wizard or some other method to deploy the files in the correct location.

DATAEXPORT file in custom defined Order?

Hi ,
I had a requirement to export Lev0 (Dynamic Calc) data from BSO application. I am able to do the export by using "DATAEXPORT" function, but the export file contain the default order as per dimensions design from outline.
I am pretty sure that i can do from the UDF fictions like "JExport", but my company policy won't entertain us to use CDF/UDF.
Appreciate if you Could suggest is there any way to export the data in custom defined order by using "DATAEXPORT" function?
Thanks,
Sriknath Reddy.

in dataexport, the column order is dictated by the dense and sparse dimensions and the dimension order in the outline. You could change but it could have performance impacts on other things. Another option would be to export into a relational table then you could extract from there in any order yo0u want. If this is not an option , the perhaps a report script

CS3 After installing or defining custom brush, any brush I use is off center! Help! Windows 7 32-bit

When I use Adobe from a fresh install, all is well. But when I define a brush preset or load from a downloaded content, any brush I use will be misaligned with the cursor forever, and not just a consistent spot, random inconsistencies with none centered. I have tried cycling through full screen mode and opening a new file on minimized mode with no luck, same inconsistencies. Please help!
Running Windows 7 32-bit

Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels (Layers, Brush, Brush Presets, …) visible?
And apply the Brush to a Path (with the Path visible), so the offset becomes clear.
