Get layer style settings from the differences between 2 images.

Hello People,
I have a question:
Is it possible to get the layer style settings when I have 1 image with the layer style and 1 without it.
Let's say I have an icon that's just a house.
[img]http://s6.postimage.org/xfpzl5hl9/image.png[/img]
And I have a house with outer glow.
[img]http://s6.postimage.org/h6un7v2a5/0_h.png[/img]
Is it then possible to get the settings used in the outer glow?
greets Ruud.

You won't get the actual numerical settings, but if you load both layers in the same document, and change the blend mode of the top layer to Difference, you can see the difference between the two images. Thus:

Selecting the difference between two images

Hi
I have two photographs exactly the same which I have taken using a tripod, lighting and general studio conditions. However, in the second picture I have inserted an subject - in this case an intricate sculpture. Can Photoshop merge those two images together AND in doing so select the difference between the two images - in this case the intricate sculpture?
Basically I need to select the sculpture and don’t want to spend the time manually selecting it due to its complexity. I need to separate the background and sculpture for editing on their own layers.
Thanks

Typically I have been saving my photos to the iphoto library. Im not sure which is the best option. What is the difference between these 2 options?

one goes to your downloads folder and the other goes to your iPhoto library.

Questions about the differences between Arch and Chakra.

I'm trying to decide whether to install Arch or Chakra on my laptop. Currently, I'm running Arch on my desktop and Windows 7 on my laptop (which I plan to overwrite). My skill level with GNU/Linux is somewhat intermediate – noobs refer to me as an expert, experts refer to me as a noob. If it matters, I'm a KDE user and primarily use my computers for web browsing and python development. Anyway, I just wanted to get an objective opinion on the differences between Arch and Chakra. I have a few points that stand out to me, but I welcome any input.
-Stability
I started my journey into GNU/Linux with Debian back in 2009 due to it's stability. I really disliked Debian's ancient software and considered moving my system to Unstable. While doing some googling about Debian Unstable, I stumbled across Arch – it was love at first sight. I've been an Arch user ever since. I love the bleeding edge software, and haven't had any major problems since I originally installed it. However, every time I run a system update I cringe a little. While Arch hasn't broken on me yet, I've read plenty of horror stories and it makes me uneasy. I understand that Chakra is a mix between a point and rolling release model. Is it any more or less stable than Arch? I know there are other distrobutions out there, but I'm in love with the Arch philosophy.
-Security
Pretty self-explanatory, but is there any difference in security between the two?
-AUR
As much as I love Arch, I wouldn't be able to stand it if it weren't for the massive collection of software available in the AUR. While I'm perfectly capable of compiling software myself, I prefer to use a command like tool like yaourt to manage my software. I understand that Chakra doesn't officially support the AUR and that they have their own user repository. Seeing as Chakra is still relatively new, is it lacking? Will I miss the AUR as a Chakra user?
-Repositories
Is there much difference in the official repositories between the two distrobutions?

My take on Chakra is that it's the same as Arch with different developers. They use pacman. They have a different and rather nice build system for their developers. They're doing a good job, but I'd hate to give up the services of Allan McRae who must work full time keeping the Archlinux core and toolchain up to date. Chakra devs probably piggy-back off his work.
As for "semi" rolling: I don't see Chakra as having a stable core. A stable core sounds attractive, it would be like NetBSD which has a very stable core Unix operating system with apps added via pkgsrc. But Chakra's core and toolchain is at the same version levels as Archlinux most of the time and are no more tested and stabilized than ours. Their core packages are updated piecemeal just like ours; there is no stable core that is released as a unit (afaik). Today Chakra has gcc 4.7 / glibc 2.15 just like ours. Their kernel is a little more stable: they're using udev 181 / linux 3.2.8 while Arch is on udev 182 / linux 3.3.7. They are more conservative in upgrading xorg and the video drivers than Arch. For example, today they're on xorg-server 1.10.4 / intel video 2.17 while Arch is up-to-the-bleeding-edge-minute with xorg-server 1.12.1.902 and intel video 2.19. Yeah, I would consider Chakra to be a little more "stable" than Arch mainly because of their relaxed pace in changing the kernel and the xorg stuff.
Most of the patches that I look at for Arch packages (I build my system entirely from source and try to build monthly releases for myself) are needed because we use more recent core packages like glib2/glibc/gcc than the developers of higher level stuff like qt. Chakra is in the same situation. We're on the front of the wave
The Chakra CCR is compatible with the Arch AUR and mainly draws from AUR (an AUR buildscript will usually work fine on a Chakra system -- they just add one or two additional info fields.) With a little effort you could get any package installed on a Chakra system that is available on Arch.

Query to get the difference between 2 totals from 2 different queries

I wanted to know if it is possible to get the difference between 2 totals from 2 different queries. I would explain with an example:
1st query - Select sum(homepass) from table 1
2nd query – select sum(homepass) from table2
Is it possible to display the difference like-
Select sum(homepass) from table 1 - sum(homepass) from table2
I know the above query would gives syntax error but is there a better way or a trick to get the above task accomplished from a single query.
I hope, my question is clear.
Please revert with the reply to my query.
Regards

What is the difference between Wine, Wineskin, Winery and Wine Bottler, and how do I get Wine to *ACTUALLY* work in Mountain Lion?

Ok, so this is my first post here and I am admittedly terrible at forums. Someone might say, "This was addressed in the ___________ thread by __________! Go read it!" --- that may be so but I've spent enough hours trying to google this problem into submission to no avail based on what is apparently working for others, so I would like a chance to get specific answers to specific questions that aren't from Mar 2011, etc.
So first of all, I'm confused by all the various Wine programs/apps/whatevers. I've seen Wine, Wineskin, Winery, Wine Bottler, and at this point I wouldn't be surprised if there are even more than that. What's the difference between all of these and how do they work with one another? What do I actually need to get windows programs working?
All of my google searches have led me to people giving out fish, but no one giving out fishing lessons. I'm not a pro at mac and windows and all that, but I'm a fairly bright individual who gets VERY frustrated, very quickly, when I don't understand the why and how of something I'm attempting.
I've also found "answers" where the person attempting to help starts off helpful enough, but degrades into the most archaic of techno-babble after about 5-6 sentences. On the other hand, I've watched tutorials on youtube where the poster decides to skip (apparently crucial) sections of the tutorial, and mutters such gems as: "... you might wanna have to run Wine first before you can do anything, cuz I think it has to configure it and set up a bunch of stuff"
O.o
A happy medium between techno-babble and the most basic of explanations would be ideal for me, and I'd imagine for others as well.
Here is a summarized history of my relationship with Wine:
Diablo II - I downloaded this awesome thing which ended up being... uh... I guess Diablo II in a Wineskin "wrapper". I'm not sure, all I know is that it's a D2 icon, and if I go to 'show package contents', it's got C drive, Program Files, et cetera inside of it. I double click it, it launches D2, and it works like a dream. <3
'Vanilla Install' - That's what I heard someone call it. It was the command/terminal style install using xquartz and xcode found at http://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/. I followed every instruction to the letter, and got all the way to '$ sudo port install wine', at which point it started going smoothly, free from the possible error he described regarding the installation of xcode, and then just failed after I left the room to use the restroom and came back. Please don't ask me to repeat what the error was, because honestly, after reading more things on the interwebs, I'm confused as to why it's even necessary to go through all of that, so I'd rather not try that route again anyways, rendering the error message quite possibly irrelevant.
Wine + Wine Bottler - So I decided to try to seek out an easier method, as I know that one must exist that doesn't involve command lines. I found a video tutorial at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0BBkISOcEA, and oh man would it be great if that method had actually worked. Again, I followed all instructions provided to procure my free fish, and at the point in the video where he declares that "xquarts or x11 will open" - it doesn't open. Nothing opens. I was trying to install Star Sonata, btw.
So here I am, thoroughly worn out, frustrated at all the random places Wine is installed on my mac now, and just want someone to explain it all, from top down, without getting toooooooo technical on me. I know that might be asking a lot...

## I know that the poster has already found a solution, but the following is a possible answer for others that have similar issues.
For Winebottler, just go to their website and download it. Run the program. Choose .wine as your prefix (best choice) or whatever suits you best. You'll need a functional X11. If you can't use the one that comes with your mac, download the latest one from the website.
If your issue is one with Winebottler's Wine not running correctly due to X11, then you have a pretty ugly problem, although a simple upgrade is the best solution (Upgrade XQuartz.app).
http://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/#part-1
The above website is the easiest way to get REAL wine on your computer. First of all, Wineskin WInery, etc. are NOT WINE. They are 3rd party apps that may use Wine or may have originally part of Wine, but they are no longer up to date with Wine. WineBottler is currently up to date with the stable releases of Wine (but not the maintenence releases).
For the website tutorial and to run Wine on your mac without using a thrid party app, you will need to know a few things.
First, you will need to know basic control of the command line. That means, sudo (you must know the administrator password to your computer), and the forms of cd (change directory).
Second, you will need Xcode. Download 4.2 (stable) or whatever other versions you want, but beware: It is over 1 GB, and you will need time for it to work.
Third, you will need to get MacPorts and configure it. The tutorial should have this data.
When you download wine (use sudo port install wine-devel for the latest development release of wine), it will first download a lot of dependencies. This will take a while. After that, it will download wine itself.
After obtaining wine, to run a program, open the terminal.app window.
cd desktop/XYZ/ZYZ\ WRQ
The above will first enter the desktop, then folder XYZ, then folder ZYZ WRQ. From here,
wine th11e.exe
Or whatever executable you are trying to open. (Using Subterranean Animism as my example).
It should, in theory, run the program. Watch the terminal for errors. If there is an X11 problem, then it's not wine acting up. If the app crashes or has other issues, check the Wine Application Database to see if your app is compatible with wine.
If you have any further questions or other things, feel free to reply; I may or may not get back to you, but there's a good chance that someone will come in eventually. Otherwise, the Wine Wiki should have some information.

What's the difference between transport route and transport layer

what's the difference between transport route and transport layer,Can somebody give me some explaination? thks in advance!

Hi,
Transport Layer in ABAP Workbench
    The Change and Transport System supports the distribution of development
    work on large projects across multiple SAP Systems.
    The packages in each development system are grouped into one transport
    layer.
    The transport layer determines whether objects are assigned to a local
    or transportable change request.
Use
    Each of your SAP development systems is assigned a transport layer as
    its standard transport layer. If you use Extended Transport Control, you
    can assign different standard transport layers to certain clients.
    You can define at the most one consolidation target for each SAP System
and transport layer.
When you create a package, it is assigned the standard transport layer
of the SAP System.
If you want to assign a different transport layer to a package, you
require the administration authorization for the Change and Transport
System.
The objects in a package automatically have the transport attributes
defined for the corresponding transport layer.
o   If a consolidation route originating in their SAP System is defined,
     then the objects are assigned to a transportable request, and
     transported into the consolidation target when it is released.
o   If a consolidation route is not defined, the objects are assigned to
     a local request, and are not transported.
Customizing settings are not assigned to a package. They have the
transport attributes of the standard transport layer of the system or
client.
It is best to assign a package a standard transport layer for which a
consolidation route originating in the development system is defined.
To display and maintain the transport layers and routes, use the
Transport Management System (transaction STMS).
Only the system adminstrator can make changes.
Caution:
     The tables TSYST, DEVL, TWSYS, TASYS are no longer productive as of
     Release 4.0A and cannot be maintained.

iPad apps are designed specifically for the iPad and will not run on the iPhone or iPod Touch. iPhone/iPod apps will run on the iPad, but will only take up an iPhone sized portion of the iPad screen (though you get a 2x button which effectively doubles each pixel in both directions so may appear pixelated). There are also 'universal' apps (which have a '+' symbol against them in the store) which have processing in them to recognise the device that they are on and will tailor the display accordingly (so will make use of the iPad's larger screen).

How to get the difference between two columns in a column group

Hi All,
My first time here and really new to programming. I would like to get the difference between 2 columns that are inside
a column group.
Here is my sample table below: The Column Group is PeriodNumber and can only choose 2. like 1 and 2.. I would like to have a third row which will simply calculate the difference between the amounts in PeriodNumber 1 and 2.
PeriodNumber
Account 1 2
1) Cash 10,000 15,000
2) Receivables 12,000 11,500
3) Equipment 5,000 5,500
Total Assets 27,000 32,000

Hi yabgestopa,
From your description, you want to get the difference between two columns in a column group. After testing it in my environment, we can use custom code to achieve your requirement. For more details, you can refer to the following steps:
Copy the custom code below and paste it to your report. (Right-click report>Report Properties>Code)
Dim Shared Num1 As Integer
Dim shared Num2 As Integer
Public Function GetAmount(Amount as Integer, Type as String)
If Type = "1" Then
Num1=Amount
Else
Num2=Amount
End If
Return Amount
End Function
Public Function GetDif()
Return Num1-Num2
End function
Right-click the second column to insert a third column with Outside Group-Right.
Then use the expressions below in the matrix.
=Code.GetAmount(Fields!Amount.Value,Fields!PeriodNumber.Value)
=code.GetAmount(Sum(Fields!Amount.Value),Fields!PeriodNumber.Value)
=Code.GetDif()
The report looks like below.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

I need to know the difference between planned SKF and Actual SKF from business view and when I can use one of them ?

I need just to know the difference between plan SKF and Actual SKF in business example and when I use one of them.
thanks

Hi Salaam,
Statistical Key Figure (SKF) is a base to allocate the cost between cost centers. Usually, common cost centers cost should allocate to respective department cost centers on monthly basis.
Some of SKFs are: Calculating floor rent on SFT, Telephone charges on No. of units, and employees head count is with "Each" in SAP.
Apart from Ajay's reply, you can consider the Canteen exp in an organization. Assume Admin, Fin and Mfg departments are getting food services from Canteen. Here, total monthly cost of Canteen exp should be allocated to respective departments. Here, we use SKF as total head count of each department and distribute the cost.
Planned SKF is what you planned on the beginning of a period. (Assume head count was planned as 30 in the month beginning)
Actual SKF is what exactly you consumed over the period. (Actual employees provided canteen services during the month is 25)

How to read time stamps from a spreadsheet and calculate the difference between consecutive time stamps?

Hi,
I am new to Labview. This question might be a joke to some of you here, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a spreadsheet with time stamps and power outputs from a generator. I am supposed to calculate the difference between consecutive time stamps, which will act as a delay for the next power output update that needs to be sent. For example, lets say that I have to following data:
Time Stamp                    Power Output
11:00:00 AM                       3kW
11:00:02 AM                       2.9kW
11:00:04 AM                       3.2kW
11:00:06 AM                       3.1kW
The above data doesn't make any sense, but it is just for the purpose of this question.
So, I have to read 11:00:00 AM and 3kW initially - 3kW is the initial request that

Do we have a way to get the differences between xtext model before and after partial parse?
As an example i have file contains 4 lines, xtext parsed this file and generated its model, then i made small modification in line number 3, so xtext partially parsed the file and generated another model.
The question is could we get the nodes that has been deleted from the model?
could we get the new nodes added to the model?
could we get the differences between the two models?

Getting the difference between 2 dates

Hi,
I am creating a Date object (using today;s day, month and year. hours and minutes come from a config file) and getting the difference between this date and the current date and time.
My code is as follows:
I am passing 07:30 into the method as the parameter aSstart_time.
Calendar newCalendar = Calendar.getInstance(Locale.UK);
    SimpleDateFormat dtformat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yy HH:mm");
    int lIYear = newCalendar.get(newCalendar.YEAR);
    int lIMonth = newCalendar.get(newCalendar.MONTH);
    int lIDay = newCalendar.get(newCalendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
    String lSstartHrs = aSstart_time.substring(0,aSstart_time.indexOf(":"));
    //System.out.println(">>>>>>>>> THE HOURS IS: " + lSstartHrs);
    String lSstartMins = aSstart_time.substring(aSstart_time.indexOf(":")+1,aSstart_time.length());
    //System.out.println(">>>>>>>>> THE MINS IS: " + lSstartMins);
    java.util.Date ldStartTime = new java.util.Date(lIYear,lIMonth,lIDay, Integer.parseInt(lSstartHrs),Integer.parseInt(lSstartMins));
    System.out.println("Year: " + lIYear);
    System.out.println("Month: " + lIMonth);
    System.out.println("Day: " + lIDay);
    System.out.println("Hour: " + Integer.parseInt(lSstartHrs));
    System.out.println("Min: " + Integer.parseInt(lSstartMins));
    System.out.println("The number of milliseconds for current time is: " + newCalendar.getTime().getTime());
    System.out.println("The number of milliseconds for 07:30 is: " + ldStartTime.getTime());
    System.out.println("calendar time: " + dtformat.format(newCalendar.getTime()).toString());
    System.out.println("created time: " + dtformat.format(ldStartTime).toString());
    if(newCalendar.getTime().getTime() < ldStartTime.getTime()){
      System.out.println("The current time is less than the config time (07:30)");
    else{
      System.out.println("The time is greater than 07:30");
    }When I run this program at 10:06am I get the following output:
Year: 2006
Month: 1
Day: 15
Hour: 7
Min: 30
The number of milliseconds for current time is: 1139997962321
The number of milliseconds for 07:30 is: 61098132600000
calendar time: 15-02-06 10:06
created time: 15-02-06 07:30
The current time is less than the config time (07:30)
The Date.gettime() method should measure the number of milliseconds after 01-01-1970 so the number of milliseconds for the current time (10:06am) should be greater than the number of milliseconds for 07:30. A you can see in the above output this is not the case.
Anybody have any idea why this is happening. Am I using the .gettime() method for the correct purpose.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

It is beacause Calendar use fully defined year as parameter, so Calendar.set(year + 1900, month, date, hrs, min) is (almost) equivalent to new Date(year, month, date, hrs, min)Example:    int year = 85; // old way of specifying a year in a Date
    int month = 3;
    int date = 12;
    int hrs = 12;
    int min = 0;
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    cal.set(year + 1900, month, date, hrs, min);
    Date d = new Date(year, month, date, hrs, min);
    System.out.println(d);
    System.out.println(cal.getTime());You will obtain the same date (except seconds and miliseconds in this case, as they probably won't be zero with Calendar.getInstance(); )

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(date);
Calendar calto = Calendar.getInstance();
calto.setTime(dateto);
fromDate = cal.get(Calendar.DATE) + "/" + (cal.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1) + "/" + cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
