Creating Frames from Custom Pattern

I am following instructions found in Issue 24 of Photoshop Creative which describe how to create a custom frame for a photo using a pattern you define. In the article they're using the fur of a leopard.
The instructions state as follows:
1) Select what you want as a pattern.
2) Copy and paste it into a new document.
3) Go to Filter...Pattern Maker.
4) Click the Use Image Size checkbox.
5) Click the Use Clipboard as Sample checkbox.
6) Click Generate until you see a pattern you like.
7) Click Save.
Now the next steps I assume take place in the photo where you want the frame. It doesn't say this specifically but the screenshots indicate so.
1) Duplicate background layer.
2) Hide the bottom background.
3) Select All.
4) Select..Modify...Contract
Here is where my problem is. At this point Contract is grayed out. I have tried changing the Image Mode to 8-bit but that doesn't help. What is required to have "Contract" available?
For the sake of anyone interested, the rest of the instructions are:
5) Invert the selection.
6) Press Delete.
7) Create a new layer.
8) Edit...Fill.
9) Select the pattern.
Adding styles. It then goes one to add a bevel and emboss layer.

  • Can't create frames from layers CS6

    I have looked at multiple tutorials saying that to create an animated gif in Photoshop CS6, you just open the Timeline palette and select "Create Frames from Layers" from the dropdown. I don't see this option, not even grayed out. What is the problem?

    Thanks - didn't realize it was even a button. Thought picking it from the dropdown was enough.  O_o

  • MDS_LOAD_COCKPIT Error: Create BP from Customer

    I am creating BP from customer using cockpit transaction. While running PPO, I am getting the below two error for single customer.
    No transfer of interval for object BU_PARTNER
    Message no. NR028
    Diagnosis
    The last number of the internal interval should be assigned.
    Number assignment usually begins in the following call at the start of the interval. However this function is blocked for some number range objects for technical system reasons.
    Procedure
    If possible extend the interval of the affected number range object. If this is not possible you must reorganize the relevant data and reset the interval status manually.

  • In the Animation Timeline panel menu "create frames from layers" is not showing.

    I am watching a tutorial on basic animation and when it gets to the point where they say to open the "Animation Timeline Panel Menu" the panel that opens for me is not the same one in the tutorial.  I am supposed to click on "create frames from layers" but that is not an option.  I'm confused as to why my panel is not the same as the one in the tutorial.

    It could be that you are using a different version of photoshop. Some of the older versions were split into two versions a standard version and an extended version, in most of those versions, it was required to have the extended version to use video editing features.
    Perhaps you could tell us what version of photoshop you have and what operating system.

  • ORA-01152 error while creating db from custom template

    I have a database based on the "general purpose/transaction processing" db, but with a custom tablespace/data added. I have attempted to clone this database by using dbca to create a custom template (including data) from this database. The template creation appears to be successful -- however, when I use dbca to try to create a new db from this custom template, I get the following error when dbca attempts to initialize the instance:
    ORA-01152: file 5 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup
    ORA-01110: data file 5: <path to my custom tablespace .dbf>
    If I select "ignore" at this point, I get further errors, the next error is
    ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PLS-00201: Identifier 'DBMS_SERVICE.DELETE_SERVICE' must be declared
    I'm using 11gR2, and am relatively inexperienced on the dba side, any help appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Update: I had unintentionally left my custom tablespace in READONLY state after an earlier experiment with transportable tablespaces. After putting the tablespace back into READ WRITE mode and creating a new template, I was successfully able to create a new db from the template.
    I'm still a little curious why this procedure wouldn't work properly with a READONLY tablespace, however.

  • FBLPD1: Error creating BP from customer

    Hi,
    We are trying to migrate the master data from FI-AR to FSCM and, at a first we tried to use the transaction code MDS_LOAD_COCKPIT. But, for some reason that it was not clear the system did not creat the customer.
    In that sense, we tried to create the business partner based on the customer data by using the transaction code FBLPD1 but the system gives an error message indicating that it was not possible.
    By checking the transaction code MDS_PPO2 we check that the error given was:
    "Address type XXDEFAULT does not exist: Address usage XXDEFAULT  cannot be created"
    "Application object BUPA: There is no BAPI field to screen field assignment"
    "Address type XXDEFAULT does not exist: Address usage XXDEFAULT  cannot be created"
    Do you guys know what could be the issue ?
    PS: Configuration done by using OSS Note 954816 and 956054.
    Thanks in advance.
    Bruno Sousa

    Hi,
    Thanks for your feedback.
    I implemented the OSS Note 1254483 and i had also to add the XXDEFAULT entry in table TB009. After that it seemed to work.
    But, i had a new error that, by checking the MDS_PPO2 transaction it stated:
    "Application object BUPA: There is no BAPI field to screen field assignment"
    "Enter an Industry".
    In our customer we use the field "Industry Sector" and so i checked the view V_TBZ3R_BD (for BUPA object). The option "INDUSTRYSECTOR" is there so i'm guessing that in that view things are ok...
    Do you know what it can be ?

  • LMS 4.2 Create Portlet from Custom Poller

    Hi folks,
    I create a custom poller, and would like to add it as a portlet.  I see that histo and live-graph it allow you to configure custom values, but they don't seem to accomplish what I need.  I'd just like a portlet showing the specific output from the poller I created, not one where I have to select a specific device, a specific MIB, etc (already did that with the poller).
    Any ideas?  The poller has a specific handful of devices defined already; it seems redundant to then have to definte them all again within Live Graph It.
    Thanks for any info!

  • Create idocs from custom program

    hi

    so i can fill both control and data records.from here i need to generate idoc..any FM's to do this??
    appreciate any help.
    thanks

    Hi Siva ,
    There is no FM to fill segments data , you need to write your own logic fill IDOC data ,
    then use 'MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE' to send IDOC.
    check this sample code :

          idoc_data       TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF edidd.
      x_a00-transaction_type  = c_trans_type_a00.

      x_a00-file_type         = 'XXX'.
      x_a00-creation_date     = sy-datum.
      x_a00-creation_time     = sy-uzeit.
      x_a00-generation_number = ''.
      x_a00-int_file_type     = 'XXX'.
      idoc_line-sdata  = x_a00.
      idoc_line-segnam = 'ZX_A00'.
      cnt_no = cnt_no + 1.
      idoc_line-segnum = cnt_no.
      APPEND idoc_line TO idoc_data.
    DATA : x_idoc_control like edidc.

  • Error while creating datasource from view ZBSIS_VIEW

    Hi all,
    I could not create  the datasource on the database table BSIS as it said "Invalid extract structure template BSIS of Datasource". I had suggestions that I should create a view and then create the Datasource on it. So I created the view and tried. But still I am facing an error message while creating datasource from custom Database View ZBSIS_VIEW.
    "Invalid extract structure template ZBSIS_VIEW of DataSource"
    Can anyone help on this regard.
    thanks.

    Hi,
    Yes. You need a create a view on tables BSIS, BKPF and T001 as the currency/quantity fields in BSIS have reference fields from the other 2 tables.
    In BSIS, in the currency/quantity fields tab, you have some ref tables and fields. You would need to include these tables and join in the view. You would also need to include the ref fields like WAERS, HWAE2, HWAE3, etc in the view. Then you would be able to create the datasource.

  • Create animation from some layers..how ?

    Hi,
    Pshop CS2
    I can see make frames from layers, but with a many layered psd file of which I only have 5 frames I want to see how they animate, how do I tell the animate palette to make frames from just the selected layers ?
    Surely this has to be an option, there are always going to be layers during an artwork build that are options or earlier efforts etc that you may wish to revisit, to have the entire lot dumped into animate is a pain. Its not obviuos which they are when in there, layer names dont appear.
    Envirographics

    Hi,
    I have just tried a test, created new file, 5 layers, labelled them 0, 1 2  3 4, turned off 0 2 and 4 and went to animation palette, create frames from layers and ended up with all 5 in there.
    How do I get just specific layers into the animation and not all.
    What you mean is, the 'create frames from layers option' from the triangle on white disc icon will dump all layers in each as a separate frame.
    To get specific layers in, it has to be done one layer at a time, choose new frame then turn on just the layer you want for that frame, selectt new frame again and turn off all but the next layer you want in, and so on, then delete any frames not wanted like the first which picks up on whatever was turned on when animation palette was opened.
    For a many layered file its time consuming but thats how it is. An option to make frames from visible layers would be useful !

  • Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its Encore

    My project is edited in CS4.
    I moved it to Encore CS4.
    I don't want to use any of the supplied menu templates in CS4 Encore.
    I was hoping CS4 would be all I needed to create custom menus using scenes from my project.
    My question is: Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its built in Encore or do I need some other element from the Adobe catalog to make these custom chapter menus and sub-menus?
    Thanks Jim

    OK, I'm back. Here are my steps for creating Custom Menus with PS, En and PrPro:
    In PrPro, move the CTI (Current Time Indicator) to the desired Frame. Check Frames on either side, with the Program Monitor’s Magnification to 100%, or maybe even 200% (you’ll need to scroll, but get a really clear picture). You want the clearest Frame in that area. With AME, in CS4, you’ll want to Export that Frame as .TIFF, or .BMP. I use .TIFF for this.
    Now, for a caveat. When you Import this Exported Frame into Photoshop, be sure to check the specs., especially the PAR. You may have to use Image>PAR to adjust this to match your Project’s specs. Or, all might be perfect - just check this out.
    Now, at this point, I choose the Library Menu, Blank, so that everything is setup. One can create the Menu from scratch, but careful attention needs to be paid to the exact naming conventions. At the very least, unless you’ve done this dozens of times before, use that Blank Menu, or similar as a guide, so you get things done, as they must be done.
    Using that Blank Menu, just drag the Layer from your Exported Frame to your Menu image. It will appear above the black Background.
    Add, or manipulate your Button Layer Sets, as is required, keeping them together. Remember that Button #1 will be the Button Layer Set, that is lower down in the Layers Palette. This can play a roll with Button Routing, back in Encore. Lower Button Layer Sets will have lower Button numbers.
    Now, I always rename my Button Layer Sets, keeping the required characters - just changing the name. I also do all of my Button text in PS, and make sure to turn OFF Sync Button Names.
    When done, Save_As .PSD, and then Import_As_Menu into Encore. Note: if you start with the Blank Menu, you can choose Edit in Photoshop, and then when done in PS, you just need to Save, and it will update in Encore. This is a personal workflow choice. I do the Edit in Photoshop route, but it is not necessary. One just needs to Import the resulting .PSD into Encore with Import_As_Menu, so that Encore does all the things that it needs to and recognizes the .PSD as a Menu.
    When deciding what to base your Menu on, remember that you can "populate" your Menu with Buttons from the Functional Content. I’d suggest studying these Assets, and picking the ones that work best for you. You can still alter/edit those back in PS, so you just need to "get close."
    Pay special attention to the required naming conventions. You cannot deviate from those first characters in the Button Layer Sets. They MUST be followed.
    If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Error on creating a subsite from custom template with full control

    I have a site collection and a subsites A and B on it, there is a group 'Managers' that has Read permissions on
    site A. This group has Full control permissions on site B, and I have a solution with custom site definition, lists and feature event receiver that breaks permissions for certain list and sets Read permissions for group 'Visitors'. This list
    is being created when site was created by my custom site definition. But when I try to create a site from this template I get 'Access denied'.  I checked logs, and they say that site was created, every method in my receiver is executed without errors
    but later I see messages about deleting this site. But if I am a
    site collection admin everything works. And another fact is that if I create site without activating feature with event receiver and after creating site I
    manually activate the feature everything works fine. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    For a better troubleshooting, I suggest to do as follows:
    1. Rescope your features so that web application related activity are performed by a web application scoped feature.
    2. Disable the security setting  via PowerShell or a console app.
    function Set-RemoteAdministratorAccessDenied-False()
    [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint") > $null
    [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration") > $null
    # get content web service
    $contentService = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService
    # turn off remote administration security
    $contentService.RemoteAdministratorAccessDenied = $false
    $contentService.Update()
    Set-RemoteAdministratorAccessDenied-False

  • How to create automatic creation of BP from customer and vendor master data

    Hi gurus,
    can any one tell how to create automatic creation of BP from customer and vendor master data.
    Please give me the steps.
    Thanks
    Sasikanth.

    HI,
    Goto SPRO\ Cross application components \ Master data synchronization \ Synchronization control.
    Assign account groups of customer and vendors to respective BP grouping. This setting is enough to create BP in background while creating customer / vendor. But the fields groups are very much important, ensure mandatory fields should be sync.
