CS3, Change Opacity of a Selection

I know how to change the opacity of a layer (CS3).
Can I change the opacity of a selection, and how?........Izzy

Silk! I don't know if what I did is exactly what you described but it was close (at least as I understood (or thought I understood) it).
Did 2 layer via copies of the whole image.
Made layer 1 active.
Hid background layer and layer 2.
Cloned out that part of the image I was trying to change (it was still there on the two inactive\invisible layers).
Made background layer visible and collapsed layer 1 into it.
Made layer 2 active and visible.
Adjusted opacity.
Flattened image.
Voila! Had the effect I was looking for.
Thanks all for the help and getting me pointed in the right direction.......Izzy

Select ungrouped items, change opacity and save

Hi, I am a javascript beginner trying to create a script to do the following to several . ai files, one at a time:
open document
select all items
change opacity to 40%
select all grouped items
change opacity to 100%
save and close
This is what I have so far which I know only affects the opacity of one layer, but if anybody has any tips for what I can do next, it would be greatly appreciated.
for ( i = 0; i < app.documents.length; i++ ) {
    var targetDocument = app.documents[i];
    var layerCount = targetDocument.layers.length;
        for (var ii = layerCount - 1; ii >= 0; ii-- ) {
            targetLayer = targetDocument.layers[ii];
            var layerName = new String( targetLayer.name );
                if ( layerName.indexOf("TEST") == 0 ) {
                    targetDocument.layers[ii].opacity=40.0;
targetDocument.close;
targetDocument = null;

You don't select in script but does this do what you meant?
#target illustrator
setObjectOpacity()
function setObjectOpacity() {
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    for ( var i = 0; i < doc.pageItems.length; i++ ) {
        doc.pageItems[i].opacity = 40; // This will do everything
    for ( var i = 0; i < doc.groupItems.length; i++ ) {
        doc.groupItems[i].opacity = 100; // Put this back
        for ( var j = 0; j < doc.groupItems[i].pageItems.length; j++ ) {
            doc.groupItems[i].pageItems[j].opacity = 100; // Put these back too

Help, InDesign transparency tool changes opacity of entire document

Hi. I just got Adobe InDesign CS5. I have been a very long user of QuarkXpress. What I would like to do is a linear blend of
colours in an object to a design I am doing. Then I would like to change the opacity of the SELECTED OBJECT only. But for some reason when I select the object and change the opacity, it changes it to the picture that is underneath the object to a different colour blue than what was originally in the picture I created? The picture was created in Photoimpact 11, with Pantone Blue as the colour.
First, I created a new document and inserted a PNG picture that fits on the entire document as the background, that has a very bright blue background. I want to put a rectangular text box at the top with blended colours. When I create a new object, using the rectangle tool, and then put it on top of the picture, I select the rectangular box, I right click and go to Effects and then Transparency. I select the "Select for" prompt to "Fill". Then on the right side where it says "Transparency, Basic Blending" it is selected as Normal mode and I move the opacity to 64%. When I click on ok, the picture underneath changes colours to a different colour light blue for some reason?? But the thing is, the picture colour that changes to light blue, stays the same whether it is at 99% or at 1% opacity.
Why is my picture changing colours? How can I change the objects opacity to not affect the pictures colour underneath? I have been trying for hours to figure this out. When I have done this in QuarkXpress, it doesnt affect the background picture at all. The only issue is, when i convert to PDF from QuarkXpress, the pantone blue comes out a totally different colour, like a lighter blue. But when I converted this background picture in InDesign without any other objects, it came out perfect! Please help me. Thank you.
I also want to mention that I update to the latest version of InDesign CS5 7.0.3 and updated everything else, and still it was having a problem. Thanks.

Wow. I can't believe this.
I figured this solution out.
I fixed this problem by enabling Edit-->Transparency Blend Space-->Document RGB.
Now my background picture is just fine. Before, Transparency blend space was in CMYK. I guess that was the issue?
If anyone else has this problem, just keep this in mind!.

Change opacity of multiple layers in ImageReady?

Does anyone know how to change opacity of MULTIPLE layers in Adobe ImageReady CS2 (NOT cs5)? I have like 30 layers, and I'm trying to fade out effect of all 30 layers, if I do it manually I'll have to click layers and change opacity 300 times, that's ridiculous. When I select all layers for some reason the opacity tab is faded out??

This would be an excellent question for the Photoshop (ImageReady) forum.

How can you change your line access selection? I have found where you can change your plan selection, but can you change the line access fee or is that a set amount?

DIVAB71,
Great question. The line access fees for the account are a set amount and can not be changed unless you are going from a basic to a smartphone or vice versa. If you are wondering about adding the month to month discount if you are out of contract Ann154 has provided great information on how to access and add the feature.

Change from Parameter to Select-options.

Hi All,
Requirement is to change the existing program.
One of my requirement is to change parameter(P_VKORG) to Select-options(S_VKORG).
I mean earlier we have only one Slaes Organization, now we have got to use multiple Sales organizations. For this requirement I have used select-options insted of Parmeters.
But the code has:
a)PERFORMS using Parameters( P_VKORG). This inturn is used in the select statement of the FORM-ENDFORM.
b)READ statement also has P_VKORG in where condition.
How should these be replaced with Select-options(S_VKORG)?
What would be the effect if I directly replace them with S_VKORG.
Kalyani T

you cannot just directly replace with S_VKORG.
select option is a structure with 4 fields, sign, option, low and high, hence it has to be dealt accordingly.
a. performs has to be changed to 'tables S_VKORG'
eg. perform get_data tables s_vkorg.
b. read statement has to be modified to deal with multiple values. best option will be to select for data in s_vkorg, and save in an internal table.
for eg, if select option was for vkorg,
select vkorg from tvko into t_tvko where vkorg in s_vkorg.
now t_tvko has list of possible vkorgs - regardless of we had a range or ne or gt or CP or whatever we had in select option.
now modify the read table to do for entries in T_TVKO.
c. in the select statement which is used in forms, wherever you see ' = P_vkorg' , replace with IN S_VKORG.

Changing text in a selection drop down

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to change the text(not value) that is displayed in a single line selection drop down box from a javascript function.?
ie.
<select name="companyMenu" size="1" >
<option value=" ">Want to change this text</option>
</select>
regards
JK

its ok, found the answer.
simply place an id in the option tag and refer to the innerText.
ie
<select name="companyMenu" size="1" onchange=whatever(this.form);>
<option id="commonText" value="">Want to change this text</option>
and for the function
function whatever(f) {
commonText.innerText = "happy";
which replaces "Want to change this text" with "happy"
cheers

BPC NW 10.0 - Data Manager Prompt changing from SELECTINPUT to SELECT cleared values

Dear BPC Experts,
We recently went from SP13 patch 4 to SP19 patch 1. When we made changes in the PROMPT values in the Data Manager Organize>Package>Modify Script>PROMPT, we experienced different behavior switching from SELECTINPUT to SELECT in our development system than we did in our production environment. In development, when we changed the value from SELECTINPUT to SELECT, the values entered for Variable name such as %SELECTION% in Property1 and "Select the members to CLEAR" in Property2, and %DIMS% remained. However, when we changed from SELECTINPUT to SELECT in production system, the values for Variable Names and Properties were cleared out. Does anyone know why in our developmet system values were kept but not in our production system during this type of activity? I would like to understand the two different behaviors and what controlled it. We prefer not to have the values for Properties clear.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Kind regards,
Lisa

Hi Vadim,
Excellent point, I should have included images as that likely would have shown this odd behavior.
When I made the changes in our development system to a package to switch from SELECTINPUT to SELECT the values outlined in the image below were retained for Varialbe Name, Property 2, and Property 3 after we applied the SP19 patch 1.
When I made the same change in our system to a package in our production system after we applied the SP19 patch 1, the values for Varialbe Name, Property 2, and Property 3 were cleared per the image below. The odd thing is that initially it looked like the values stayed. It was only after you saved and went back in did you see that the values were gone.
Any help in understanding this behavior change would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Lisa

Change the Parameter as Select option

Hi Guy's,
Please help me friends, present requirement is like this : change the Parameter into Select-Option.
Here they are using one function module, this function module import parameter taking single value, how loop this function module with in this select-option.
PARAMETERS p_fictr LIKE fmfctr-fictr.
START-OF-SELECTION.
Move the select options to internal tables (import parameter for fn)
move_sel_option : sel_buk   s_bukrs ,
                     sel_pern s_pernr ,
                     sreinr    s_reinr ,
                     spdatv    s_pdatv ,
                     sberei    s_berei .

      p_fictr = p_fictr
      p_sub   = p_sub
    TABLES
      s_bukrs = s_bukrs

      s_reinr = s_reinr
      s_pdatv = s_pdatv
      s_berei = s_berei
      i_trip = i_trip
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS = 1.
Thanks and Regards,
Sai

hi,
You can first the field values using the select statement and then loop that internal table and pass the values to the function module.
try this
*PARAMETERS p_fictr LIKE fmfctr-fictr.
select-options: s_fictr for fmfctr-fictr.
START-OF-SELECTION.
Move the select options to internal tables (import parameter for fn)
move_sel_option : sel_buk s_bukrs ,
sel_pern s_pernr ,
sreinr s_reinr ,
spdatv s_pdatv ,
sberei s_berei .
select fictr
   from fmfctr
   into tabel itab
where fictr in s_fictr.
loop at itab.
Call the function to get all trips corresponding to sel criteria
CALL FUNCTION 'ZHR_GET_FUND_TRIPS'
EXPORTING
*p_fictr = p_fictr
p_fictr = itab-fictr
p_sub = p_sub
TABLES
s_bukrs = s_bukrs
s_pernr = s_pernr
s_reinr = s_reinr
s_pdatv = s_pdatv
s_berei = s_berei
i_trip = i_trip
EXCEPTIONS
OTHERS = 1.
endloop.

Thank you much for your response.
I tried that and it did work. But my requirement is to have a user input the date. The basic idea is if the user decides on a predefined time range like Day Shift Today or Yesterday and so on... then the report would automatically calculate the values based on predefined date time values. On the other hand, if the intent is to run the report for an arbitrary period then the user supplies the date and time limits.
What I am trying to achieve is have the same parameter available for user input , but when the User decides he wants Predefined then the "textbox" populates with date and time as per his choice of predefind range.
I understand that by this the user can still overwrite the date and time on the text box, but the report will run the predefined values as long as he has the @PredefinedDateSelection Set to true.
Is there a way I can impement this?
Once again I thank you and appreciate your input.

Changing opacity and flow by taping numbers on a Macbook Pro Retina.

Hi everyone,
it is surely a easy answer but i can't find a way to change opacity by taping numbers on my Macbook Pro Retina (French version AZERTY).
I think the problem comes from the fact that i don't have a numeric keypad.
For instance, on the brush tool, if i enter 1 (by pressing shift+&), i change the flow to 10% and so on, but i didn't find a shortcut to change the opacity.
On the move tool, if i enter 1 (by pressing shift+&), the opacity of the active layer don't change.
I am nearly sure that the problem comes from the Macbook Pro Retina keyboard, so do i have to buy a additionnal numeric keypad ?
Regards.

What version of photoshop are you using?
Is your version of photoshop also french?
Actually i don't think you should need the numeric keypad.
Added:
Maybe your right about needing the numeric keypad after all.
A quick test in cs6 seems to indicate that.
You might also ask over on the french forum:
