Cropping & Painting Question

I'm using PE5 - I'd like to place the top border of my cropping tool/frame above my picture to be edited , having selected 4x6 format - doing this I naturally end up with white space at the top of my final 4x6 print - since the top of the picture is blue sky, is there a way to "paint" this space blue thereby cropping where I want and keeping the picture in the original proportions ?

If the sky is a uniform blue across the image, you could use the eyedropper to sample the color. After you do your 'crop', create a new layer under the current image and fill it with the sampled blue. You may need to add some noise to match the texture of the original.
You should note that skies are rarely completely uniform -- you might have to blend samples from different areas, use a gradient, feather the join between the original and the fill or some combination of these.

Report Painter question (FGI1) How to limit output up to a specified period

Hello
I have a report painter question.
I am trying to create a BS report using tcode FGI1 (FALGFLEXT), that lists out the BS values by month (Jan - Dec).
But the problem I am coming across is, if I specify selection parameter 01 2008, the report also populates the same values into the unposted months ahead (Feb/Mar/April)
Something is wrong with my parameters.
Is there a way I can limit the report output up to the specified period/month?
I thought I might be able to work around this by creating a formula/variable (like in GL-SL), but it doesnt seem to be the case.
Any thoughts appreciated
regards
Ken

Period shall be included in the column characteristics. Check the variables or Values in column definition for the characteristic period.
You could either give the values of period 1 for col 1, 2 for col 2, etc
or you may use variables for period. The variables can be a formula variable with conditions.
You make the user to enter a value for the 'To period' (ZTOPRD)
The value for the variable for column 2 (Feb) shall be = 2, if ZTOPRD > or equal to 2 else, give some 17 .
This way when the user enters a value of 1in the to period, the system would default 17, for which there won't be any values.
You may extrapolate the above formula for various remaining columns of period.

Simple Crop tool question... how do I save the crop section?

Hi,
I have a very simple crop tool question. I'm a photoshop girl usually... so Illustrator is new to me. When I select the crop section I want... how do I save it?... if I select another tool in the tool panel, the crop section disappears and I can't get it back when I re-select Crop tool. If I select Save as... it saves the whole document...and not just my crop section.
Like I said, simple question...but I just don't know the secret to the Illustrator crop tool.
Thanks!

Can I crop painted lines in Illustrator using pathfinder?

Hi everyone,
This is a question from a total Illustrator newbie but I've been Googling like mad to no avail, so any help would be much appreciated!
I'm experimenting with creating seamless patterns using shapes. I know how to crop shapes using the pathfinder tool.
I can do this by placing different shapes on top of a square. I then paste a square of the same size in front of all the objects, select all then and use the crop tool in pathfinder.
However if I try to use it using painted lines (or lines created with the line tool or the pen tool) it won't work.
Is there a way to do this or am I missing something very obvious? Thanks to anyone who takes the time to answer

You need not cut the objects you put into a pattern swatch. It will be sufficient to put an invisible rectangle in the back. But in case you want to cut them, first Expand appearance.

Report painter question FI-GL or FI-SL?

Hello
I have a general question on reports created via report painter.
I want to create a BS & PL report to see balances by month, and am trying to determine considerations to take into account.
Creation of a report where I can see the balance of an entire year is my goal.
From my limited understanding, I know I can create it in FI-GL or FI-SL.
For FI-GL, the global variable formulas I need to create look to be a pain, since they reference user exits (to calculate periods 1-12). Maybe its not that difficult, but Im not that knowledgable on this yet.
FI-SL (Special Ledger) is something that looks very usable, and I was planning on creating a special ledger and creating a BS report for it. But my concern is its reading from a different ledger. Are there cases where a discrepancy arises between ledgers?
If anyone has any advice on the the FI-SL or report painter, I would appreciate it
Regards,
Ken

Report Painter Questions

Hello,
I am new to SAP and this forum and have been put in charge of report development for Finance for our organization. I have been delving into report painter on my own with no official training on it and have a few questions I can't seem to find answers to. I was hoping someone here could help.
1.     What is the limit to the number of columns in a report painter report?
2.     How do I get a literal in the body of a report? In other words, I just want text to appear in one of the lines as a label which would mark different sections of the report.
3.     Can I get both p&l activity and balance sheet balances (not activity) in the same column of a report painter report?
4.     Is there a way to take report painter reports and import them into an already existing formatted template so that they look nice when printed?
5.     How do I get headers to show up in the Excel option of report painter reports?
6.     How can I get period end dates to print in reports?
Thank you to anyone who can help.

Painting question

Hello guys,
Here is my situation:
I have a jpanel with a plot , drawn using paintComponent() method, of some math. function.
Now I would like to add to this panel another plot.
Is it possible to paint just the new plot without repainting the old one ?
If yes how ?

I paint one plot in paintComponent() method.
For one plot I have one ArrayList of it's points to draw.
The thing is that I would like to add many plots to one panel.
For example, the user pressed the button to draw the first plot.
Then the user pressed a button to draw another plot, on the same panel,
so both plots are visible.
I can see one way to do it:
I need to have a field in my class - an array X - which holds under position 0
an ArrayList with points of plot 1 , then under position 1 there is an ArrayList with points of
plot 2 etc. Then in paintComponent() method I have to go through
the array X and draw all the points in every ArrayList.
Now my question is : can the same result be done in other way ? So I
don't need to draw all the points of all plots every time the new plot is added
but just to draw only the new plot ?
Well I guess there isn't but just want to check if I'm right :-)

Printer/Crop Mark Question

Hi all,
I searched through the topics and found a post that was
talking about the crop mark. I have the same problem here, whenever
i go to print>freehand MX>advanced, all that i find is just a
small window called "print preview" that's it. There's no
separations, paper setup, imaging, etc. I tried to open the same
dialog at my school and it has those features.
Judy wrote:

It's OS X and yes, i installed the drivers (I own Epson R1800
and HP Psc 1200 series) and then add them using printer setup
utility. I also use apple airport express to print wirelessly.
My questions:
1. Does it have to be a post-script printer to have those
features? (imaging, crop marks, etc)
2. Does printing wirelessly affect this on Freehand MX?
(doesn't affect my adobe cs2 applications though)
3. What can i do/try to have those features?
p.s. I read about the Xtra but i'm trying to get my Freehand
"fixed" here =)
Thank you
Harry

Thr crop marks will not show unless you have a postscript
printer. If you are sending the job to a commercial printer they
will insert crop marks. If you are printing yourself and require
crop marks you can insert them with a PDF making application such
as Adobe Acrobat Professional. If you don't have that there is an
open source application called PDF maker which you can download at
www.freedomleague.org.za or at least find a link from that
site.

LR 3 Crop Overlay Question

Hello,
I am in the middle of a lot of work and will not upgrade to LR 3 until later this summer, but I wanted to check if a feature I have requested was put into the program.
I was hoping to be able to overlay an 8x10 ratio crop over the "original" 8x12 ratio. So in other words, when the crop tool is activated and set to "original", there is the ability to turn on a view to show where an 8x10 ratio crop would fall.
Thanks.

If this is true I am totally disappointed.
This is a "photography" related request and not a nifty feature add-on. I deal with needing to leave room for an 8x10 from an 8x12 ratio in the same digital image file all of the time. It is part of the modern digital workflow where on delivers a single digital file and the end user prints.
I don't understand. This seems like such an easy yet important addition to this program. My two feature requests and posting on the Adobe labs have fallen on deaf ears.

Image Painting Question

In JavaScript I was able to achieve an odometer effect by simply changing the source reference of a displayed image. Being new to Java, what is a good method to achieve this same effect in Java? Each of my digit images are stored in an array from [0] to [9] with the array position equal to the digit value. Please, no Swing or Java2 recommendations, as the applet is being compiled with target 1.1 to reach a broader viewer range.
Below is a snipped portion of my JavaScript code as an example of what I wish to achieve in Java. In the JavaScript, a setTimeout keeps the images updated. In Java, a thread will keep the images updated. (This JavaScript version doesn't have the images stored in an array, but I don't think how the images are stored should affect the method used to paint them periodically to the screen.) Thanks!
now = new Date();
minute = now.getMinutes();
if(minute < 10) {
document.c3.src = l0.src;
document.c4.src = eval("l"+minute+".src");
else {
document.c3.src = eval("l"+minute.toString().substring(0,1)+".src");
document.c4.src = eval("l"+minute.toString().substring(1,2)+".src");
}

Is anybody going to reply...?

Crop tool question

Hi, I have a small issue which I can not find the answer too. I search the PS help system with no luck. I use the basic tools in PS to edit some product images here at work. Basically all I do is crop, resize, adjust contrast/brightness, and so forth.
Usually when cropping images I use the crop tool, select the area I want saved, then hit enter and everything else outside the drop boundaries is cropped away. Yesterday I noticed that when I click the crop tool button, then drag my cursor around the product and hit enter, everything disappears except a tiny dot the color of my background. Well when I say background, I mean if I take the photo of the product on a brown fabric background, then the color of the few pixels that remain are that same brown. But NO image at all of the subject. As far as I know, I didn't intentionally change any of the settings for the crop tool, but something has changed and I cant figure out how to restore it to the original setting. Hope someone cant help. Thanks in advance!

Clear out the fields in the Options area when using the Crop Tool. Sounds like you've typed something in the Width, Height, or Resolution fields, and it's invoking the Crop Tool's resizing behavior.
The easiest way is to press this button:

Digital painting question

Making a comic. When doing a digital painting, why do people color everything in blue before coloring with other colors?

It's a pencil sketch technique employed by old school comic artists. It's called "non-photo" or "non-repro" blue.
Non-photo blue is a particular shade of blue that can not be detected by graphic arts cameras. This allows layout editors to write notes to the printer on the print flat (the image that is to be photographed and sent to print) which will not show in the final form. As well as this, it allows artists to lay down sketch lines without the need to erase after inking.
Non-photo blue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You wouldn't think it would make it to digital, but this explains it: http://comicsaregreat.com/video-making-non-photo-blue-pencils-in-photoshop
It's one of the Brush Tool Presets in Photoshop

Crop-quick question

What is quick way to change from pixel to inches without having to type it in?
Also, I have snap checked, but it does feel like it's snapping. how can I know/ test this for sure. thanks!

Not sure I understand the query.
What is quick way to change from pixel to inches without having to type it in?
Do you mean in the fixed width and height-fields in the Options Bar for the Crop Tool? I know of no such method.
Also, I have snap checked, but it does feel like it's snapping. how can I know/ test this for sure. thanks!
Is View – Snap checked or not?
Pressing ctrl when dragging suppresses snapping temporarily by the way.

Report painter question regarding amounts in different currencies

Hi,
I have a report created in GRR2 using library 1VK. We display the total costs SWOG here but have the request to see in addition these costs in USD simulteanously. For that I included the basic key figure SWZG. When executing the report there is now a new selection parameter Target currency, Exchange rate date and Exchange rate type. I can see a new column with USD values, so far so good. But when I check the calculation I find that it can't be right, it differs from what it should calculate.
If I execute the report and select currency tranlsation of the key figure SWOG with exactly the same exchange parameters as above I'm getting different values in USD which match my manual calculation.
Any idea why this happens? What do you recommend to have both currencies ate the same time on the screen?
Thank you
