You might look into gradient mesh also substitute a real font for the word Mountain instead of an outline and apply
an edge effect so you can fill it with a gradient more easily.
Here is what yo can do with a gradient mesh bt I really am not certain I understand the look you want.
And why?

Need some help with downloading PDF's from the net.

need some help with downloading PDF's from the net. Each time I try to click on a link from a website, if it takes me to a new screen to view a pdf, it just comes up as a blank black screen? any suggestions?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Need help with upgrading my OS from 10.5.8

Need help with upgrading my OS. I havent upgraded the OS since I bought it and have version 10.5.8. Now I cant download Mountain Lion- or even Snow Leopard. When i downloaded the first version of SL- 10.6.1 it says i have to have 10.6 first and I cant find that.

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple withdrew Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
UPDATE:
OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

Help with partial image loss from Viewer to Canvas

Hi--I'm brand new to FCP and would really appreciate any help with my problem. I'm creating 2 second video clips composed of four still images (15 frames...or 500ms each) laid back to back, then rendered. Very simple, I know. The individual images are tiff files that look great in the FCP Viewer. But in the Canvas, part of the image is missing. Specifically, in the center of each image there should be a + sign, about 1cm square. This + should remain constant thoughout the short movie, while the items around it vary (from image to image). (This is a psychology experiment, and the center + is a fixation cross.) The problem is that in the Viewer the + sign is intact, but in the Canvas (and the resulting rendered video), only the vertical bar of the + is present! This is true for every individual tiff, and for the resulting movie. The items around the fixation cross are fine. My question is WHY on earth does the central horizontal bar get "lost" between the Viewer and the Canvas? I've read the manuals, but obviously I've got something set wrong. Also, there is a considerable overall reduction in quality between the viewer and canvas, even though I'm trying my best to maximize video quality. Everything looks a bit blurry. Truly, all ideas are welcome. Sorry if it's obvious. Thanks.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

steve, i'm viewing on my 23" cinema screen. i read up on quality and know that this is a no-no; that i should only judge quality when viewing on an ntsc monitor or good tv. the problem is that i'll ultimately be displaying these videos on my Dell LCD, so i've got to maximize what i've got. thanks to the discussion boards i have a short list of things to try now. thanks!

Help with restoring Address Book from Time Machine

Problem: I really, really need to retrieve someone's number. I know it'll be in an old version of my Address Book. I can see when I open time Machine that my address book is backed up, but no matter the date I go to, it says the Address Book was last modified in 2012! I know for a fact I've updated (and backed up) the Address Book many times since then.
Whenever I try to restore the Address Book, I do Time Machine > Applications > Address Book > 'restore'. But whenever I do this, the mac refuses to open the restored Address Book because it's 'required by mac OS X'.
I don't understand.
Please, how on earth do I dredge my Address Book from the depths of Time Machine?
Please help!
M

Hello mb9236,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with restoring a contact from Time Machine.
It sounds like you are trying to restore the Address Book application. The Address Book application is just the application and does not include the content in Address Book.
Instead, you will want to open Address Book and then launch Time Machine and restore your contacts from there. Use the steps below to restore your contacts form a previous date (in step one instead of opening Mail or Finder, be sure you have Address Book open and in focus):
If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, you can easily bring back one or more items you’ve lost, or recover older versions of files you’ve changed.
Open a window for the item you want to restore. For example, if you accidentally deleted a file from your Documents folder, open the Documents folder. If you want to recover an email message, open your inbox in Mail.
If you’re missing an item from the desktop, you don’t need to open a window.
Click the Time Machine icon in the Dock, or open the Time Machine menu in the menu bar and choose Enter Time Machine. If you back up to a Time Capsule or other network disk, a message briefly appears while Time Machine connects your computer to the backup disk.
Use the arrows or the timeline along the right side of your screen to browse through all the snapshots and backups Time Machine created. Gray tick marks on the timeline represent snapshots stored on your internal drive (portable computers only). Pink tick marks represent backups stored on your backup disk.
If you need more information about an item, double-click to preview it. The windows in Time Machine behave just like Finder windows, so you can open folders, click items in the sidebar, and use the search field in the upper-right corner of the window.
When you find the item you want to restore, select it, and then click Restore. You can restore individual items, multiple items, folders, or your entire hard disk. The restored item is returned to its original location. For example, if the item was found in the Documents folder, it is returned to the Documents folder. Time Machine may ask if you want to re-create one or more folders in order to return a restored item to its original location.
If an item you restore has the same name as another item on your computer, you’re asked if you want to keep the current item, the restored item, or both.
You can use Time Machine from within many applications. For example, you can open Address Book and then click the Time Machine icon in the Dock to recover contacts you may have accidentally deleted, or open iPhoto and then click the Time Machine icon in the Dock to view past versions of your iPhoto albums.

Help with data migration- Balances from legacy system for Loans Management

Hi all,
Can someone please help with this. I need help in how to go about migrating legacy data and balances for loans to SAP FS-CML.
Which flow types to use, and to do the migration.
Thanks.
Fisayo.

Hi Fisayo,
good documentation you can find in the transaction KCLJ
=> Help => Application help.
You also can find some documentation in the IMG:
=> Loans Management
=> Tools
    => External Data Transfer
      => Transfer Categories
         => Loans Master Data and Conditions
         => Loans Flow Data
You could use transaction KCLJ to upload the existing flows. For this you need a sender file with the flows you want to upload. This file you can create manually or by a report in the old/legacy system that writes the file in your file system.
The sender structure must be defined in transaction KCLL and you could use transaction KCLT to create or change a file to test the upload program.
You will also find some information in the online documentation.
Please be aware that the upload of flows must be tested very exactly. Iif you take over 'wrong' flows, this could cause serious problems in the future when you work with the contracts.
Best regards,
Tomislav

Need help with logo concepts?

Okay, so you have a good idea, but only some rough sketches or scans of your doodles? Post them here so people can pick them up and work on them.
If you have a good design that works for you, but are unable to create all the variations (negative, black, small, big, with sugar and creme), post them here and e-mail an artist to help you out. Or simply wait for someone to pick it up. Describe the problems you are having.
Not happy with the design, but want some advice on how to fix it? Post it here as well.
Anything else that comes to your mind? Post it here. Just don't post if you have no artwork to show, okay?

There is an entire thread about the actual goal of the concept.
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=38051
Basically, everyone is encouraged to redefine Arch from any number of POWs. From what I remember, we have mentioned the following:
1. arch is simply an arch, as in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arch
2. if (1.) then, there could be two possibilities:
2a. an arch like the St. Louis Arch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Louis_Arch)
2b. an arch like the Arc de Triomphe of Paris (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_de_Triomphe)
3. archer, archery, the arrows
4. any kind of modified letter A
5. arch as in principal, chief (arch nemesis, not necessarily in bad sense, this is what Judd picked when he named our distro)
6. Arhc's energy, speed, lighness (both in a mix or as separate concepts)
6a. speed and lightness as in light design, light colors
6b. energy as in Sun
6c. stability as in a boat on a fast-flowing river (canoe, rafting)
7. penguins are boring
8. Arch is inviting (soft, subdued colors and soft shapes)
The color scheme could be blue or anything else. Some suggestions were BLUE (d'oh!), PURPLE, YELLOW, BLACK, EMERALD, GRAY...
Matt3o gave us a nice overview of colors used by different distros and suggested we try colors that are not used that often: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 87#p290287
Tango theme is considered an optional element, and the logo should not try to follow the Tango specs. The reason is that Tango themed stuff tend to look like icons rather than logos.
I have collected logos from lots of distros (364 of them to be precise) and posted them in a gallery for on-line viewing:
http://archlinux.team88.org/main.php?g2_itemId=13
You can also grab the whole bunch in a .zip file from here:
http://foxbunny.team88.org/arch/linuxlo … -logos.zip
Things to avoid:
1. penguins
2. overly complex designs
3. http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 42#p290342
4. warm colors (people are generally okay with blue, whereas some people may show much resistance towards the red part of the spectrum: reds, oranges, browns, yellows)
5. @ symbol (already used by a different distro)
Color is subjective, so not every color works for everyone the same way as with you.
Just remembered something: FONTS. The current "archlinux" logotype uses a non-free font that cannot be used for many things people might like to use them for because of the licensing issues. You are free to find any alternative font if you think it would work better with your concept. However, designing the logotype is not a requirement. You may also design a logoless concept that uses only the logotype. But keep in mind that there are not many such designs in the Linux world. Examples of such designs in the IT world however are not few: IBM, HP, Microsoft, Solaris, Novell, Sony, NEC, etc. They all use a logoless approach with the exception of Novell, who uses "N" as a logo.

Need help with logo

Hi I have a logo on the top of the page, it is an oval and had has a g with a horse...I am trying to clean the picture up and not having any luck....can anyone help me... I suck with photoshop
http://www.gullionshowhorses.com/

Can you be a bit more specific please? What are you trying to clean up? On the surface it appears ok unless you want a super clean image for business purposes, then you need to create a vector. I have fond that more often than not I just recreate in vector with a bigger size, then convert to bitmap. That way you always have a clean vector to begin with.
There is enough contrast for easy masking.

Help with logo importing?

hi,
trying to put my company's logo into motion. i have photoshop and i imported it into motion with no problems. everything is perfect about it except that the logo doesn't look good on the video.
the edges are crisp or clear on the logo while in motion.
i know it's a crisp good quality image when i import it. but for some reason when i import it into motion it doesn't look as good anymore. what can i do? please help me!!??

There could be some explanations for that. But first check the aspect ratio pixel settings in photoshop and compare that with your motion project settings. Then also check the output of your file on a TV screen, don't trust fully your computer screen. Also check your anti-aliasing setting. Depending on the final output (where it's going to reside, web site on DVD, ...etc) you may need to compress it and that will give you also a different result. If you are watching the result in your QT player, set the quality to high in the QT player settings before you review it. You may also want to choose to re-draw the logo in motion, that's another alternative, if nothing works for you.
See how you go. Good luck.

Help with Logo

I'm looking for some help in a corporate logo.
The logo is fairly simple, mainly using letters and a couple vector circles. I am new to this so any help/beginner advice would be appreciated on the following:
- I need to try to 'erase' a small part of one letter in the logo. When I select the eraser it won't allow me to erase this small piece of the letter without rasterizing the letter first. Is there a way to erase this small piece of letter without rasterizing it?
- If I build all of the letters and the small circles as vectors, and save the image as an .eps, will I be able to adjust the size of the logo overtop of images without having to worry about image quality (will it re-scale as an .eps automatically?)
If you can help provide me with some beginner advice it would be much appreciated! Thanks. I'm trying to better understand vector images and .eps files.

...without rasterizing it?...
You're looking at the wrong software. Photoshop is primarily a raster image editor.
Logos are more easily designed in a primarily vector program like Illustrator. If you don't have Illustrator, try vector editors like Inkscape or Expression for free (or get the 30-day trial of Illustrator).

Help with logo size using illustrator and photoshop

hi everybdy, can somebody please explain to me how to know the right WIDTH, HEIGHT and PIXELS/INCHES when designing a business card, a post card, or a banner????????????????????????

I could be misunderstanding your question, but it seems to me that each logo application should be designed/sized on its own, according to the size of the document (3-1/2" x 2" on a business card for example). For a business card, make it look nice on the card. For a banner, make it look nice, within the (much larger) bounds of the banner size.
There is no "prescribed size" for each individual application. Each implementation of the logo should be sized according to the size of its document, what else is on the page with the logo, and what looks "good" to the designer (and the client). :+)
BTW, this is the Illustrator forum, and I suspect you were referring to pixels (?). For actual printed items using only AI vector art (such as a logo), pixels are irrelevant. (The vector artwork conforms to the resolution of the output device for each application, at the time it is imaged.) With the possible exception of web applications, send vector files (such as actual-sized pdf) to your print supplier.
