Help Needed Removing a Mounted Plaque from Print Picture

I realize this may not be exactly a PS question, but I am hoping someone here will have experience doing this, or can point me to the proper resource. When I do a Google search on this topic, all I get is removing plaque from teeth!
I have a customer that brought in several photo prints for restoration, many of which have a metal plaque attached (sticky tape backing on the plaque). Each plaque is about 1" x 3". The original negative is not available.
What I am hoping to find are suggestions on the best way to remove the plaques from the pictures without adding further damage to the prints. I use PEC 12 to clean images/negatives/slides, which does a great job and does not damage the source material when clean off dirt, ink, etc. But was wondering, what would be the best way to dissolve the glue on the plaques and not damage the prints?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

Thanks for the reply.
As I replied to p taz, I may pick up some art spray to experiment with. But I also like the idea of taking a picture of the plate. I only have a 6 MP camera, so I use the macro function I could get a good highres version to layer on top of the scan.
The other approach I was thinking of was the Bert Monroy method - Take a picture and recreate that 100% in Photoshop. Problem is, that I have not been able to find a good tutorial on creating photo realistic gold name plates. Don't get me wrong, there are lots of tutorials on make "metallic" plates, it is just the tutorials I have found create plates that look like photoshop.
Since the client has given me 2 dozen pictures to restore, and possibly more in the future, know how to create the plates from scratch would be fantastic.
Do you know of any tutorials on making photo realistic gold metal name plates?
I will experiment with the suggestions so fare and see what gives the best results.
Thanks again to both you and p taz for your input.

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail
System: Windows 7
Adobe CS5
Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400
Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster
Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5
Epson driver up to date
After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.
The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.
My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:
Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.
When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling: Printer manages color. Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.
Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.
Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:
What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create?
Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?
I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.

It may be possible to figure out by watching a Dr.Brown video on the subject of color printing. Adobe tv
I hope this may help...............

Help needed in Connecting to SAP From Eclipse

Hi All,
Currently, we have a requirement where we need to retrieve data from SAP System and need to upload the same in a Third Party Application (Java based system).
We are able to create an account in Java Application using Eclipse IDE by hard coding the Account details. We are stuck up in establishing the SAP connection and retrieving the details and then creating the extracted account details in Java application from Eclipse.
Any pointers on this will be of great help.
Regards,
Eureka

Hi Eureka,
Please refrain from creating cross-posts in parallel forums, moreover this question is JCo-related and is not directly connected with Java EE 5. The Help needed in Connecting to SAP From Eclipse in the Java Programming forum would be enough. Please continue the discussion there.

Help needed on upgrading portal application from sp3 to weblogic portal 10

Hi Guys
I have an application which is currently running on BEA Weblogic Portal 8.1 sp3. We need to upgrade our application from 8.1 sp3 to BEA Weblogic 10 version.
(1) Is there any way for upgradation from 8.1 sp3 to portal 10 directly or do I need to upgrade it from sp3 to sp4 and then from sp4 to portal 10? Pls clarify?
(2) How reliable are the BEAs automated scripts for retaining the personalization/customization of my application on sp3 to upgraded version i.e portal 10?
(3) I believe, we do not need to do any coding/design changes/architectural changes into my application for this upgrade.
Any help on this will be highly appreciated
Thanks
Jameel

1) I believe only sp4 and later to weblogic 10 is supported (http://www.bea.com/content/news_events/white_papers/BEA_WL_Portal10_ds.pdf)
so yes i think you need to upgrade from sp3 to a later version of the service pack
2) You tell us :)
3) Depends on your application and the features you have used. E.g. I believe Content management has changed between sp3 and what 10 supports.

Help needed please, with Iphone stuck with apple picture and progress bar after software update attempted

Help needed please, everytime I try to update the software version on my iphone it comes up with a message saying it could not be completed and is now frozen with the apple picture and progress bar on it. Do I unplug it and hope the macbook pro sees it again, I also stupidly did not back up before starting the download which I realise I will have to go back to the previous back up. This keeps happening, everytime I do this type of update, I'm starting to think I should just give up on updating my software on the Iphone. I thought it was happening because I was using a window based computer to do the updates, this time I used my Macbook Pro. Please somebody help

Help needed removing contants from Custom Form

Folks,
Please forgive this beginners question, but how do I get the hardcoded text out of my custom form?
I would like to put it all in one place to make future GUI changes easier.
I have seen in 'User Library.xml' things like this:
<Field name='global.firstname'>
<Display class='Text'>
    <Property name='title' value='_FM_FIRSTNAME'/>
    ....When this section of the form is displayed '_FM_FIRSTNAME' magically becomes "First Name". This is what I want to be able to do, but for the life of me I can't find where (or how) '_FM_FIRSTNAME' is defined.
I tried the following in my custom form
<defvar name='GAVIN_FN_SpecialField01'>
<s>The Text I Want to See</s>
</defvar>
<Field name='global.specialfield01'>
<Display class='Text'>
    <Property name='title' value='GAVIN_FN_SpecialField01'>
    ....But when the form is displayed the text in front of the field is "GAVIN_FN_SpecialField01" and not "The Text I Want to See".
Can someone offer any advise?

I have a supplementary question.
My message catalogs are now in place and working for simple things like field names.
I would like to use them in a Select control. Is that possible?
I have this loaded as my custom message catalog:

    </CustomCatalog>
</Extension>
<MemberObjectGroups>
    <ObjectRef type='ObjectGroup' id='#ID#Top' name='Top'/>

      </appendAll>
    </Property>
</Display>
</Field>The use of '_GAVIN_FN_FAV_DRINK' for the field name works perfectly.
The use of '<ref>GAVINFN_FAV_DRINK_VALUE1</ref>' results in the text "_GAVIN_FN_FAV_DRINK_VALUE1" appearing in the drop down box rather than the desired "Tea".
Can someone help me this this please.

Help needed in XML Bursting to set printer details

Hi,
In xml bursting to set the printer details, we need to Specify the printer attribute as a URI such as:"ipp://myprintserver:631/printers/printername"
Here I am getting printername dynamically from report. But I am
not understanding "ipp://myprintserver:631/printers". Here What I have to give?
Please help me in this.
Thanks in advance.

Which environment are you trying this in ? In Enterprise server, bursting is defined by a SQL query which can be run against the table that you want. So you can even populate the printer name from your query. So the URI, ipp://myprintserver:631/printers/printername" is the syntax. In your case you have to create this string in your SQL query by concatenating the parts "ipp://" + printername + ":631/". If there is a name to the printer in the printserver, then that too can be concatenated.
In case this is in EBS , the same has to be done in the control file.

The problem i have been encountered with is...
Some URL's does not return any bytes, The code is not totally broken. In such cases, my code is hanging off at that particular URL and waiting to get some output data from the URL. The execution does not proceed furthur But if the URL is a totally broken link, the code is throwing an exception and I am able to handle it successfully.
But in the case of partially broken links, I am not able to go furthur because the code keeps waiting to get some data.
So for this reason I want to setup a timer and tell the code to wait for 5-10 min, in that time if it does not get any data, proceed furthur to download other links...
Please tell me how can I do this.. or plzzz tell me an alternative...
Please help me ans its a bit urgent plzzzz.

Hi,
From the Control Panel, open Administrative Tools and select Sevices. Browse down to the print spooler service, right click it and select Properties then click on the Stop button. Now browse to C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS and delete the job inside this folder - You may need to click a prompt to gain the appropriate authority to open the PRINTERS folder.
Restart the computer and you should find the document(s) have been removed.

16:9 Help needed. Workflow: extracted video from DVD, FCE HD edit & DVDSP.

Hi,
I have a project where according to the camera person it was shot in 16:9 with the camera (assuming a DV camcorder of some sort). It was captured from the camera and converted to a DVD (VIDEO_TS folder and everything) and sent to me for editing.
What I need help with is a workflow (and settings) to edit and output this properly.
1) My first hiccup comes in the extract. When I view the DVD that was sent to me, the video looks squished as it squeezes the video into the 4:3 aspect ratio. I was using MPEG Streamclip to extract it. I've extracted it in a 16:9 QT format and it looks fine in FCE HD. However, once I started reading more about editing 16:9 video in the FCE PDF manual, I'm wondering if I should have kept it as 4:3 and then toggled the Anamorphic setting for the sequence.
2) Once I have the correct source to edit - are there any considerations on export for compression? I read somewhere about a program to set the anamorpgic bit for iDVD, but plan to use DVDSP so I'm assuming I can skip this step. I also read in the forum about a QT Conversion setting to use. Do I need to? I was planning to export a reference movie and use Compressor with that. I was planning to use a "Widescreen" compressor option. Is this correct?
3) I know this is beyond this forum, but any advice on what settings should I use in producing the DVD? As noted above I plan to use DVDSP 3 to create the DVD, and I do notice the 16:9 settings in there for each track. I was planning to use the 16:9 Letterbox track setting. Is this correct?
Any other pitfalls I should be aware of as I navigate the 16:9 jungle?
Thanks in advance.

First, with regard to your chipset - graphics/video card:
Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset, featuring the Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 450...
Your graphics card has no video RAM (VRAM) of its own. So, it must use some of your system RAM to be able to function. This is 'dynamically allocated'. That is, your system decides how much system RAM to allocate to the graphics card. I am not aware of anyway to manually control this.
Next, you said you have installed Windows XP. Toshiba India has not posted any XP drivers for your system. Toshiba laptops are very finicky about using Toshiba 'tweaked' hardware drivers to be able to function properly. This computer is a Toshiba European version of your model, and it would appear to have a full set of XP drivers, these will work just fine in your system:
Satellite Pro C650 PSC11E Downloads
The order you load the hardware drivers and Toshiba utilities is critical. The files available for download above are all zip files, so you will have to extract the .exe files to be able to install them. Install the drivers first, then the Toshiba utilities, and given that you already have XP basically working install in this order:
1st Drivers:
1) Chipset
2) Storage Manager
3) Display
4) Sound
5) then all other XP hardware drivers
2nd Utilities:
1) Common modules
2) Hotkey utility
3) all other XP Toshiba utilities.
Good luck.

Help needed in returning multiple columns from one field

I have tried to:
- create a cursor
- each column as - ie
S_PROD_INT.NAME as "EVD",
S_PROD_INT.NAME as "GVD",
S_PROD_INT.NAME as "PbDDD"
but when I try to use them in where "EVD" Like 'etc...'
error that table does not exist
I have tried also as
where 'EVD' Like 'etc...' -- error
where EVD Like 'etc...' -- error
- create them as %TYPE variable
- more
but keep getting errors
Any ideas and help will be most appreciated as I have tried and researched all I can think and get my hands on with my limited skills.
Thanks.
Regards, Steve

Unfortunately my skills are not high enough as I obviously don't know where to put the code exaclty.
I am first just running it on the top part of the script but get the error;

What I am running is; -- Commented

Help needed to report open orders from R/3 SD!

Hello all,
I need to report net open order value from SAP R/3 SD to BW. I'm using cube 0SD_C05 to report inquiry vs. quotation vs. orders. Is there any standard ods object in business content which can be used to report open orders? If not, will it be a good idea to create a ODS object and use it directly for reporting open orders? This BW installation is for a small IT company and we don't generate a lot of quotations or orders on a daily basis. Please guide.
Thanks and Regards,
Sumit

hi Sumit,
check if you can use 0SD_O01 - order item data
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/41/2b4f815f153014e10000000a114e5d/content.htm
other business content ods objects are 0sd_o02-05.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/0b/f5cc3c7dea9006e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
(expand left side 'ods')
hope this helps.
