Gradients with only selected swatch colors...

I have a Swatch preset with special colors that has a purpos in a game. In order to create game graphics I need to be able to do gradients with only a group of selected swatch colors, without photoshop creating "new" colors in between these.
Is this possible? If not is there a workaround?

You could use the Gradient Editor to construct special gradients that would have two stops for each color, with one being at almost the same location as the one to the left, and the other, almost the same location as the one to the right. There will still be a tiny gradient, but you can get rid of that with Posterize.

Gradients with small space between color sliders

I'm editing gradients that have multiple color sliders that are quite close (overlapping). Is there some way to enlarge the gradient panel or an easy way to select individual color sliders? It would help if there is a keyboard shortcut that could navigate from one color slider to the next, if anyone knows of such a shortcut.

It is what it is...

IMac 20" with only 260,000 colors?

A German online magazine just reported (http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/tech/0,1518,544580,00.html) that the iMac 20" model can only display 260,000 colors due to a different TFT technology compared to the 24" model.
I am rather irratated as I wanted to buy a new iMac 20" model soon, and the Apple store says that even the 20" modell could display millions of colors.
Does onyone had the chance to compare both displays side by side for example at editing photos? The article says, serious and professional photo editing would not be possible with the 20" model.

That's a good point, and that's why I hope I'll be able to live with it.
However, Apple advertises that even if you use it for photo editing, everything will look great on the iMac screens. They don't specify like you did that it's not for serious and professional photo editing, they just say photo editing. So if I want to edit photos professionally, that makes it sound like I can! Especially since all the other tech specs are more than enough!!!
On top of that they advertise both screens as having millions of colours, so on this particular point, Apple has no defence if the 20" iMac has only thousands.
Of course the majority of LCDs used with PCs are the same lower spec panels; but at least their users can choose to upgrade.
The comments at AppleInsider on last weeks settlement were interesting reading. I.e. actually a display only shows shades of Red, Green and Blue and uses separation to trick your eyes into seeing other colour:

I don't have any gradient that I can perceive on my iMac 24".

Is there a way to take export dump with only selected objects

Hi,
I want to take a partial export dump containing only few objects of a particular schema in Oracle 10g DB.
I am trying to use "exp" utility for this.
The parfile used for this is as follows:
FILE=CSG_Objects.dmp
FULL=n
ROWS=y
COMPRESS=y
INDEXES=y
TRIGGERS=y
CONSTRAINTS=y
LOG=export_CSG_Objects.log
TABLES=table1,table2,table3...
With this I can only export tables but not other objects like views, procedures, sequences etc.
If I try to use other object name in TABLES list, I get errors.
Is there any way I could export other "selected" objects also?
Thanks & Regards,
Ullhas

There are 4 modes in exp and expdp. You can specify
full=y which will get all objects in the database
schemas = list which will get alll of the objects in these schemas
tables = list which get all of the tables in your list plus all of the objects dependent
on these tables
tablespaces=list which finds all fo the tables in those tablespaces and then does a table mode
export for the table list, including dependent objects.
Other than excluding/included a few objects, original exp does not have a way to specifically include certain objects. This was one of the enhancements to datapump expdp/impdp.
If you are running 10.1 or later, you can use datapump export/import. Now, you can do a table mode export and put in an include/exclude list.
include=tables,grants,table_statistics
or
exclude grants, index_statistics
If you let us know what you are trying to include or exclude, it would be easier to come up with a solution.

How can iCloud in my windows 7 PC sync with only selected Outlook 2010 contacts?

It's my first time to use iCloud in my windows 7 PC and sync it with my Outlook 2010 contacts, my outlook contacts has several folders. I know iCloud will create an iClouds contact folder. My question is will it sync with all my contact folders? or will iCloud sync give me an an option to choose which folder to sync? I do not want it to sync it with my entire outlook contacts, how should I go about this? Thank you

connect the ipad to the computer
open itunes on the computer
click on the ipad in devices
click on the info tab
scroll to the contact sync part
click the dropdownbox
choose windows live contacts
if it's not in the list google
transfer windows live contacts to "Insert what is on the list so you can sync to it"
choose "whatever you chose on the list"
export/import the contacts
sync

Selecting solid colors with Eyedropper

Where is the option to have the Eyedropper only select solid colors and not multiple colors when sampling colors? I select the Eyedropper tool and do not see any options for this in the control panel.
I only have options for Sample Size, which layers to sample from, and whether to show sampling ring.
Thanks.

Not sure what you really mean by "solid color." A 1 px sampler will sample the solid color of that one pixel. If you increase the sampler size, it will start to average the sampled pixels. It will still be a solid color, jut a blend of the sampled pixel. So if you want just the exact color that you're sampling, you should go with the 1 px size.

Changing Swatch color in a doc with no effect on other docs

I have a book containing multiple docs. I am using a color swatch, that I called "Chapter color". I used this swatch to distinguish the color of each doc (chapter). However, once I synchronize the book, all the docs retain the swatch color of the main doc (chapter 1), though I have deselected "Swatches" from >Synchronize Options. Pls HELP.

Lets go back for a moment. I don't mean to insult you at all, I just want to make sure we are all understanding each other correctly, and understanding what should be happening, and what is actually happening.
During synchronization, IF the option to include swatches IS checked, all document should wind up with the following: Any swatches with the same name as a swatch in the source document should be redefined to match the source. In addition, any other swatches from the source document, which are not already present in other documents, should be added to those documents. Additional swatches in other documents which don't appear in the source document should be unaffected.
From your description it sounds to me as if the option to synchronize swatches is really checked, not blank, so you should go back to verify that you have cleared the checkbox. As I mentioned above, if swatches are synchronizing should be able to bypass the problem by using a unique name in each document. As long as that name does not also appear in the source document it should remain unaffected. I'm suggesting that each document have its own swatch, uniquely named and not shared, for that element. You can accomplish this by just renaming the swatch.
If there is still a problem, my only conclusion is there is something wrong with your InDesign installation. What build, and what localized version of ID are you using? You can find the build number by opening the Help menu, then holding the CTRL key while you select About InDesign. The build will be in parentheses after the version number in the upper left corner of the dialog that should open.

How to get swatch color changes to update in gradients?

When I drop a swatch color on a gradient, it doesn't link to the swatch color like in a solid fill.
Nevermind the UI inconsistency with this behavior, since Adobe probably doesn't care, but how do I get around this?
Creating a Swatch from the gradient is not a solution for me, as I use the same base color in different gradients.
Thank you!

Thank you!
For some reason now, however, the gradient display in the document has disappeared so I can't move it or create an ellipse... but maybe I should post that as a separate question.

Select event not triggered in table with only one row

Hi all,
I am building a BI VC application where query data is displayed in a table. When the user clicks on a table row another query is then triggered and output in a second table. The output from table 1 is linked to the input of query2/table2 with a select event.
The problem that I am facing is that if there is only one row in table 1, the select event is never triggered. If, however there are two or more rows in the table the select event is triggered and query 2 is executed. I have searched the forums but all I could find on select event problems was how to avoid the initial select event.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and what is the workaround or is this a bug in Visual Composer? We are on VC 7.0 SP19.
Cheers,
Astein Meland

Thanks Chittya,
Yes we have considered this option as well. But as we have more than one table linked together we would like to avoid having to manually click several buttons.
In the end I found Note 1364334 describing bugfixes released in VC 7.0 SP20:
"Normally, when a Visual Composer table is populated from a data service, the first row is selected by default. However, we have found that if only one data row is returned from the data service, this row is not selected by default and cannot be manually selected by clicking on it either."
So I think we will just have to upgrade our Portal to the latest support packs to solve this problem.
Thanks,
Astein

I am doing a book. Can I select the option of 13 photos on a page, put only one photo on the page in the middle box and expect the page to be printed with only that picture surrounded by white?

No
All photos frames must contain photos or you can not order the book

Why do you need to shift click to select stroke color with eyedropper tool?

Hi,
Quick question..
Why do you need to shift click to select the stroke color with the eyedropper tool?
I had the problem where I could not do this earlier and found the solution on this forum.
However I still do not understand the reason for this.
Appreciate if anyone could explain it to me.
Thanks in advance.
Nori

Hi, Nori,
If you have the red and blue rectangle selected and the Fill square selected in the tool panel, as at bottom left, then hold the shift key down and click with the eyedropper on the green stroke in the upper rectangle, then the red fill will turn green but the stroke stays blue. If you select Stroke, as at bottom right, then shift-click with the eyedropper on the green stroke, the blue stroke will turn green but the fill stays red. With Fill selected and shift-click on the yellow fill, the red fill turns yellow; with Stroke selected the blue stroke turns yellow. If you do not depress the shift key, the red and blue rectangle will become yellow and green.
It's complicated to explain, but I think that if you try it step by step it will make sense to you.

How to solve illustrator cs6 save as cs5 problem about the stroke(when the stroke with clipping mask and color is gradient, save as cs5 will change to embed ).

how to solve illustrator cs6 save as cs5 problem about the stroke(when the stroke with clipping mask and color is gradient, save as cs5 will change to embed ).

Because it was not possible to apply a gradient to a stroke in CS5. When you open the file in CS5, it is reduced to something that can be rendered in CS5.

When working with quick selection tool (and not only) the whole psd file gets damaged.

Hello there,
Since I first tried Photoshop CS6 on PC I encounter the following problem: when I use quick selection tool at some point the selection gets completely random and I see parts of my artwork disapear. Even after closing the file without saving the changes I see the artwork completely corrupted, without any possibility to recover. As if parts of the image were deleted.
The problem persisted after I changed to Creative Cloud on Mac (I'm running OS X 10.8.5.)
I have just seen that it also happens when I work with regular layer masks.
I desperately need to fix this problem because I cannot keep using hours of retouching work again and again.
Hope someone can help.
Cheers
Julia

I am also having the same exact issue. This is the third time this has happened in about six months. I use the quick selection tool and I see a alpha mask that looks truncated and it show random parts of the image in the mask which has nothing to do with the selection. But the worst part of this is that my retouching layer the only other layer comes back completely empty even if I try to save the file in various other file types like tiff and it comes back empty. I'm losing a lot of retouching time here. I also hope some else has an answer.
Thanks
Mike

InDesign CS4 crashes when selecting New Color Swatch

Any idea why InDesign would be crashing when I select New Color Swatch? I can Load Color Swatches or choose from the swatched in the menu, but if I try to add a new color it crashes no matter what type of document I am working on.

This is the sort of error, if happening in all files, that is usually fixed if you Replace Your Preferences
