Help understanding this collage effect?

I really like the effect created from a tutorial though I am not sure how it works. It is located at:
http://blogs.sitepoint.com/2009/12/14/create-the-effect-of-a-multiple-photo-collage-in-pho toshop/
1.) What does filling the image with Black do in step #3? Is this similar to filling an image with black when creating a mask?
2.) In step #7, I am not understanding what "Press the Snap To Origin button and uncheck “Link with Layer.” buttons are doing
What is it that is creating this collage effect?

1.) What does filling the image with Black do in step #3? Is this similar to filling an image with black when creating a mask?
It fills a Layer with Black. Thus covering the Background Layer.
You could also create a black Solid Color Layer, I guess.
2.) In step #7, I am not understanding what "Press the Snap To Origin button and uncheck “Link with Layer.” buttons are doing
Otherwise the Pattern Overlay’s origin point would be aligned to the Layer’s top left pixel, I suspect.

  • Need Help Making This Text Effect

    Can someone please assist on how I can create this text effect with the thick line surrounding the text phrase at this link?
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/lalogotheque/2801883641/in/set-72157608260902848/
    I have the font already and I'm using Illustrator CS 1.0 for Mac OS X.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Yes I guess that is the way it is done:

    <br />
    <br />That is you make three copies of the text but this time I composed the text as one unit using baseline shift and different type sizes and spacing.
    <br />
    <br />Once I had text they way I wanted it and the three copies I kept one as is, in this case the black version.
    <br />
    <br />I then gave a color to the bottom most and gave it a sufficient Offset path setting to look solid.
    <br />
    <br />So there is now black text and a solid colored background in and expanded shape of the text.
    <br />
    <br />I then outlined the text for the text that had been offset and then used the pathfinder to merge the different paths within that art. That would be the first icon on the top left of the pathfinder panel.
    <br />
    <br />I then gave the text in between and outline twice the weight I wanted the gap to be and no fill and flattened the transparency choosing to outline the strokes.
    <br />
    <br />Then I selected the outlined I just created and the background I created before leaving the
    <br />the outline on top of the background and went back to the pathfinder and chose to minus the front. The second icon on the top left of the panel.
    <br />
    <br />And there you are.
    <br />
    <br />Now I can do a Video or perhaps someone like Mordy will stop by and clean up my explanation as I understand i am often not easy to follow as far as my writing is concerned.
    <br />
    <br />I hope this helps.

  • Help recreating this text effect

    Hello,
    Can someone help me recreate this text effect?
    http://tinyurl.com/3a6ogl8
    Here's my version:
    http://tinyurl.com/3ahmj98
    http://tinyurl.com/2v9k58d
    The trained eye can probably see that the original version looks much better. Why is that? Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong, or could this text have been made using a different technique?
    (whether I use Flash or Photoshop shouldn't matter as their text effects are pretty much identical)
    Many thanks!

    nevermind y'all i figured it out!!

  • Please help understand this error...

    I am developing a small Hash Calculator that calculates MD5/ SHA Hash.
    It has 2 modes,
    1. Text mode in which i have a JTextField - userText where i can enter the text and then when i click on calculate the corresponding hash of the text is evaluated.
    2. File mode in which then the JTextField gets disabled (locked or non editable) and i have button that gets visible through which i can then select a file (through JFileChooser) and when i select a file, i put it's absolute path in the JTextField - userText. and then when i click on calculate this code is run...
    FileInputStream in=new FileInputStream(userText.getText());
                             int length=0;
                             while((length=in.read(buffer))!=-1)
                                  md5.update(buffer,0,length);
                             digest=md5.digest();
                             hex="";
                             for (int i = 0; i < digest.length; i++)
                                  int b = digest[i] & 0xff;
                                  if (Integer.toHexString(b).length() == 1) hex = hex + "0";
                                  hex  = hex + Integer.toHexString(b);                                                  
                             hash.setText(algorithm.getSelectedItem().toString()+" Hash: "+hex);
                             copyString(hex);
                             status.setText(algorithm.getSelectedItem().toString()+" Hash copied to ClipBoard",Color.RED);
                             in.close();Now what i am getting is that in case i calculate a hash of a text (default starting mode is text mode) and then change the mode to File then it is working absolutely fine, but if right in the beginning, at the starting i go and select the File Mode, then when i click on calculate i get a strange error.
    I have the stack trace of it :
    Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException
         at java.io.FileInputStream.read(Unknown Source)

    while((length=in.read(buffer))!=-1)I am unable to understand the error, please help.
    What exactly is happening , and more specifically , why is it happening only if i did the mode change right in the beginning for the first time...??

    this buffer since it had a null value was giving the
    error. I replaced the thing by
    byte buffer[]="".getBytes();
    I'm not sure that's the best thing to do.
    I was reluctant at first to initialise the buffer
    with some bytes as i thought it might effect the md5
    value if it had some value in the beginning, You're supposed to create an empty byte array, e.g. like so:
    byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];In this case, the read method will read at most 1024 bytes into the buffer. The number of bytes it actually reads is returned to you. If it returns 12, say, you should only use the 12 first bytes in the array since those are the bytes that were actually read in. Whatever was in those 12 slots in the array before you called read is overwritten. Then you call read again to see if there are more bytes available, until it returns -1 to signal that there is nothing more to read.
    but i
    have re-checked it accurately, the code is now
    working fine and the MD5 has is coming perfectly.
    This seems strange, as
    "".getBytes();returns a byte array of zero length, which to me suggests you would end up in an infinite loop. But if you say so...

  • I need help understanding this flossmanual English, please. . .

    In http://en.flossmanuals.net/thunderbird/composing-messages/ , under "Signature Delimiter", the following text appears:
    "Signature Delimiter
    "When placing a signature in a text based email, a default "-- " (dash, dash, space) is inserted to separate text. To switch it off for all identities of your accounts, you can access your Configuration Console and change mail.identity.default.suppress_signature_separator to "true"."
    It then states:
    "It's important to note that removing the signature makes it a part of the message you compose. "
    What does this mean? Is it referring to removing the signature separator? Or is it a completely new topic -- ie, referring to removing a signature? And if it means removing a signature, how is a removed signature "part of the message"??
    The article then states:
    "When replying to messages where the signature is placed below your reply, but above the quote, signatures won't be removed if you choose to change identities."
    This seems (to me) to suddenly introduce even more new issues.
    I deeply appreciate that the flossmanual was the result of dedicated, hard work on the part of intelligent volunteers -- I just sometimes have trouble interpreting the language used. I'm sure it all makes perfectly clear sense to someone who's already part of the flossmanual team, but - alas - I'm not even a coder, let alone developer. . .
    Thanks for your help!

    <blockquote>
    Thanks for the very speedy reply, Zenos -- I appreciate it!
    </blockquote>
    You're welcome.
    <blockquote>
    The separator was/is used by some software as a way of knowing what isn't ''essential'' to the message, so that it can discard it from subsequent threads -- yes?
    </blockquote>
    Yes
    <blockquote>
    By eliminating the separator, my signature is considered to be part of the text of the email - yes? Well, I guess it stands to reason that I would ''want'' my signature to be included in any email in which I'd send it, no?
    </blockquote>
    That is certainly what most people actually do these days.
    <blockquote>
    So, the bottom line, for me, would be: If I want to send a signature (mine will be an image only), and don't want to see those "--" separator indicators, I should ask TB to remove the signature delimiter -- yes?
    </blockquote>
    Yes.
    It does seem, to me, polite to have two signatures, at least in business.
    One big one giving your contact details to use in a new message, and something more discreet for continuing conversations thereafter. Some short-sighted organizations (including my own employers) come out with a big garish monstrosity that is intended to be used on ''every'' business message.

  • Any help understanding this (concurrent mode failure)?

    Hi
    Using JDK 1.4.2 on red hat enterprise, haven't yet seen this problem on HP-UX but we are running a different set of settings there.

    Here's the snippet from the log file showing the steady growth before finally this particular instance is restarted.
    This happens maybe once per day on 1 or 2 of the 30 odd processes, the rest seem to hover just fine around the 1 gig odd mark and lower.
    I've read Jon's blogs, they've helped a lot, could still use a hand making more sense of this and since we're in production we can't fiddle too much.
    This as simple as saying "you're allocating way too much every so often, find the guilty code"?
    Thanks in advance

    I am having problems understanding the first section of this file.
    ie
    1. System.out.println(Character.isLetter(letter)); //displays true
    ....this displays true because 'a' is a letter - right, so
    2. System.out.println(Character.digit(digit,10)); //displays 4
    ....why is 4 displayed? - I don't really understand the function of (Character.digit(digit,10)
    3. System.out.println(Character.digit(letter,16)); //displays 10
    ....same Q as 2. why is 10 displayed, and what is the function of (letter,16)?
    4. int i = letter;
    System.out.println(i); //displays 97
    ....why is 97 displayed and not 'a'?

    1. System.out.println(Character.isLetter(letter));
    //displays true
    ....this displays true because 'a' is a letter -
    right, soRight
    2. System.out.println(Character.digit(digit,10));
    //displays 4
    ....why is 4 displayed? - I don't really understand
    the function of (Character.digit(digit,10)the method is printing a char numeric value taking the value in digit as a base 10 representation.
    3. System.out.println(Character.digit(letter,16));
    //displays 10
    ....same Q as 2. why is 10 displayed, and what is the
    function of (letter,16)?This prints the char value taking the value in letter as a base 16 value (hex).
    1 = 1
    2 = 2
    etc.
    a = 10
    b = 11
    c = 12
    d = 13
    e = 14
    f = 15
    4. int i = letter;
    System.out.println(i); //displays 97
    ....why is 97 displayed and not 'a'?This is basically printing the ascii value of letter.
    Since char is actually an unsigned numeric data type you can easily pass a char value into an int. You can set a char by assigning it a number or a char literal
    You could replace the line
    char letter='a' with
    char letter=97

  • Need help understanding this UEFI/GOP business

    Good morning all,
    I think what I'm asking is pretty simple, and hopefully someone here can help me.
    I just built my new system with a MSI Geforce GTX 780 TI Gaming. I have not yet installed Windows 8.
    My question is:
    If I want to install Windows 8 in UEFI mode, do I need to update my graphics card BIOS?
    OR
    Is the UEFI/GOP BIOS only to allow users to make use of the Windows 8 fast boot features?
    I'm hoping the answer is "it's only to allow you to make use of the ultra fast Windows 8 boot mode". Otherwise I'm going to be posting a request including my s/n for a bios update before I begin the Windows installation.
    Thank you!

    Installing in UEFI mode means using Win8 feature otherwise it is still alegacy mode. So yes, GOP is required then.

  • Tomcat JSP HTTP Services, BlazeDS and AMF Help Understanding This in Cairngorm

    Hi
    I have an existing Tomcat application using JSPs and a Flex Client that uses HTTPService (Cairngorm). Can we use BlazeDS to access these JSPs over AMF? How might that work in Cairngorm.
    Thanks

    There may be other ways to do this but here's what I would do:
    1) add a results method to the remote object:
    src.result="onResult(event.result)";
    2) add the callback method: private function onResult(event : * = null)
    :void{
                                                         if(event is
    ArrayCollection)
                                                                myData =
    ArrayCollection(event);
    3) add the variable: private var myData:ArrayCollection;
    4) make the dataProvider for the grid use the my data :
    dataProvider=""
    You can probably avoid all this by adjusting your dataProvider. I am just
    not sure what it would be without experimenting. But definitely not what
    you have. Maybe just {svc.result}.

  • Help understand how this works

    Hows everyone doing, i need some help understand this. This is my first time using Lulu. From the reviews i'v read about it they tell me this is the #1 place to come to to get my books printed. Here the question,  i have all 3 of my books ready to be uploaded do i just sent that in, then they send me the prints ? or so they self them for me. Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but its my first time using this particular site.

    Here's a quick overview:
    You start the new book wizard. Click "Create," pick a book type and size (hardcover, paperback, etc.; 6x9, 8.5 x 11, etc.), and click "Make this book."
    Hint: If you want the widest distribution for your book, pick a size / type that has a green checkmark next to it.
    The wizard will guide you to name your book, apply an ISBN (or get a free one), upload your contents, and upload your cover or design a cover. It will guide you to set pricing and distribution, and many other options.
    When you've done all that, your book will be available to order. You will see two prices: the one you pay, and the one other people pay. The one you pay is the printing cost per book. It may be anywhere from $2.50 to $20.00 or more, depending on options you pick -- probably coser to the low end.
    On that first page, where it says "Create," there is a calculator that will figure roughly what your book will cost (printing costs), so you can plan your options around that calculator.
    So you order as many books as you want, pick shipping, pay with a credit card, and in a few days, the books are on your doorstep.
    I hope that helps.

    I need advise and help with this problem .
    First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product .
    At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to some info , and come across one web site regarding : port forwarding , IP addresses .
    In my frustration , amongst lots of open web pages tutorials and other useless information , I come across innocent looking link and software to installed called Genieo , which suppose to help with any router .
    Software ask for permission to install , and about 30 % in , my instinct was telling me , there is something not right . I stop installation . Delete everything , look for any
    trace in Spotlight , Library . Nothing could be find .
    Now , every time I open Safari , Firefox or Chrome , it will open in my home page , but when I start looking for something in steed of Google page , there is
    ''search.genieo.com'' page acting like a Google . I try again to get raid of this but I can not find solution .
    With more research , again using genieo.com search eng. there is lots of articles and warnings . From that I learn do not use uninstall software , because doing this will install more things where it come from.
    I do have AppleCare support but its to late to phone them , so maybe there some people with knowledge , how to get this of my computer
    Any help is welcome , English is my learned language , you may notice this , so I'm not that quick with the respond

    Genieo definitely doesn't help with your router. It's just adware, and has no benefit to you at all. They scammed you so that they could display their ads on your computer.
    To remove it, see:
    http://www.thesafemac.com/arg-genieo/
    Do not use the Genieo uninstaller!

  • Can someone please help me understand this? About Apple Repairs

    Hello everyone,
    I bought my macbook in Nov. 2009 in USA. I just moved to India and I've noticed the rubber base coming off and the infamous apple hairline crack. When I first took it to the India center, they kept insisting I had to pay for repair, I have a 1 year limited warranty.
    Upon my insisting that they check with Apple USA first, they decided to call them and then asked me to send them pictures. I've sent the pictures, my repairs have been approved.
    Now they tell me that I need to bring in the laptop and they need to run some software test for the crack, then they will submit this test and get the screen in about 4-5 days and then return the mac to me.
    I need to understand this from people that have gone through this sort of repair. Why do they need to do a software test for a hardware issue?
    Even if they have to do this software test, why can't they wait till the screen arrives (as this is the only way they claim to fix the crack) and then do the test all at once in one single day, rather than making me run back and forth with my macbook?
    I also requested for them to forward Apple's response to me, they refused and said its internal.
    I would really appreciate it if someone can please explain this to me, as the logic is just not making sense in my head. Maybe this is the way they do repairs and I'm not aware of them.. don't know..
    Thanks everyone!!

    What this message means is that you have more music in your itunes library than there is free space in your ipod.
