Help with Layer Modes

Well...im new here at photoshop so i dont know if im asking in the right place or not but i really need help with something to do with layers
I have one layer [the basic bottom layer] and an image that ive already cropped out and colour corrected that i wanted to put over my bottom layer without losing any texture, like the effect where you have your layer/brush mode on the "colour" setting and you colour over something and its basically a colour replacement...Seeing that technique doesnt work too well with an image, i would greatly appreciate any help :3

Hello! If you are trying to blend images together to create texture, I would use the Multiply or Screen blending mode, depending on how light or dark your images are.
Here I took an image of a bird and placed it on top of a tree texture.
Is that what you mean?

Try Resetting your iPod. Hold down the MENU and SELECT (centre) buttons for five or ten seconds until you see the Apple logo appear then the menu button to go to the normal display. Have a look at this link as well: iPod won't turn on

Help with Layer Positioning and TimeLine

Hello all, here is my situation:
I am trying to do a simple Layer animation for my home
page... 4 Layers startoff at the right of my webpage(table) and end
up at the left handside, as an example.
My problem is I have a main 1x1 table that is centered, and
that works fine to center all the text and images that are within
it, but the layers that I tried placing within it stay absolute to
the screen and not relative to the table.... and if I try to
specify relative position in the first place for any of the layers
that Layer disapears from my Layer panel and I cannot timeline with
it???!!!
This Started out as a lame trial to avoid making a flash
movie for this animation.. but right now I am more interested in
knowing the possibilities and limitations of using Layers and
Timelines in Dreamweaver.... Any help or comments are most welcome.

I have requested that the thread be removed, Andrew. That's
the best we can
do, I'm afraid. Thing is, it can only be removed from the
webforums, and
not from the local computers of those who have already
downloaded the
message. Also, if Google Groups synched already, then it's
like being
carved in stone....
You can see if that's the case by searching here -

Help with character mode report

Hi,
I have a character mode report which has a query that generates output of data records that are 100 chars long.
My requirement is to add a header and a footer record that are only 80 chars long. I created a field of width 80 chars in the header and footer sections of layout whose source is a placeholder column of width 80 chars. I have set the width property to 80 in the properties of header and footer section also.
But when I run the report I see that the header and footer records are still 100 chars long - 80 chars of data with trailing null values. How do I make it only 80.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Yes.. I did that and even that didn't help. I have tried so many things but for some reason it is 100 chars fixed. Any more suggestions....

Help with "layer options" + frame fitting

I don't really understand how layer options work in conjunction with frame fitting options. Sometimes I will have a number of illustrations embedded within the same illustrator file and rejig the layer visibilities in order to separate each one but I find that the image shifts within the frame, partly I suppose because the bounding box may have changed. Can anyone refer me to a document that explains how this works - and if there's a way to keep the position locked so that layer vix changes don't have an effect on positioning?

Or make a rectangle around all the art on it's own layer and give it no fill or stroke. As long as that layer remains visible, I don't believe you will see any shifting (In this case I'd choose "art" as the crop).

Help with manual mode of Menu Widget in Muse

I'm building a family web page in Muse and I'd like to create a menu of my secondary webpages only. Since the Menu Widget's "menu type" options are Top Level pages, All Pages (neither option will work for me), and Manual- it seems like I should be able to use "Menu Type: Manual" and simply type in the menu items I would like- which I've done. What I can't figure out is how to link those menu items I manually created to the sub pages of my website.
A bit of background on my website structure. My top Level sites are: Welcome, and then 3 separate pages for each family member- and each member page has a few secondary pages (about, photos, contact):
Welcome
Member 1
about
photos
contact
Member 2
about
photos
contact
Member 3
about
photos
contact
My main site navigation- i.e. the menu widget for top level pages- is above my header (Light Gray). Below my header, I would like a horizontal or bar menu for ONLY the sub pages of that member: ie. About Member 1, Member 1's Photos, Contact Member 1 (Dark Gray)
I've created a menu widget in the Manual mode- I just can't seem to figure out how to link each menu option to the correct page. Currently in preview none of these manual menu items work.
Thanks!
LScarff

Hi Scarff.
When you opt to use manual mode for the Menus, you need to manually link the pages to menu items. To achieve this , you need to have the menu item selected and then using hyperlink option as shown in below screenshots link the corresponding page to it :
I hope this helps.

Please help with Layer Mask

I have been painting in Photoshop using layer masks. Using the pen tool I would outline my image, control>R-click>select create layer mask, then I would paint as desired. When doing so it would create a grey layer mask background in the layers window and everything would work100%. But now all of a sudden when I do this process the layer mask square turns white and it seems as the mask I have created is inverted. I paint everything but the mask I want. I have no clue how to turn it back to the original grey colour I was using. Please help.

Using the pen tool I would outline my image, control>R-click>select create layer mask,
So are you using a Vector Mask or a Layer Mask?
Could you post a screenshot?
What are the Paths’ Area settings?

Help with sleep mode

Is there a way to disable sleep mode when the lid is closed?

Since you make no detail available as to the reason for your question, certain assumptions will have to be made to answer fully.
As such, I assume you want to do this so you can run the unit with a separate monitor, mouse and keyboard (sort of like a desktop).
No, you can't disable the action of the system to go into sleep mode upon closing the lid, using any native process or procedure. However, there are third party applications available to do so. I would not reccommend them. The chances are too great that, sooner or later, you would erroneously close the lid on a running system and place the computer in a compromising situation, such as enclosure within a case or bag, wherein overheating would be a practical certainty.
Apple does however incorporate the ability to "wake" the sytem, without having to re-open the lid. This is called "closed clamshell" mode. This is to offer users a means to run their unit while hooked to an external monitor, BlueTooth keyboard and BlueTooth mouse.
The procedure is detailed here.

Help with autoplay mode and the controller

i kno this is probably something really simple, but i can't
seem to figure out how to change the delay timing for each
individual slide in autoplay mode. i figured out how to change the
delay of the controller, but there's only one place to change the
number and it effects all the slides. i want to be able to adjust
each slide for a different time delay. i've searched everywhere in
flash help mode and all i've found is how to change the autoplay
delay that changes all the slides at once. there's nothing about
changing each one individually.
anyone know how i can do this?
thanks!

What I have done is take the images from the Phot Slideshow
and placed them
in a Slide Presentation and then added the code that I
suggested. I
maintained the frame 1 code that enables the forward and back
buttons.
On each slide, you can chage the time delay after which the
slide advances.
Just change the variable "delay" in the on (reveal)
I think its the sort of action your after. You can download
slideshow.zip

Help with private mode

I have the new iOS 7.1.1 software on my ipad and I can't not stop my child from using the private mode in safari. There is no privacy setting to turn on or off either, please help.

Disable Safari in Restrictions. Download another browser such as McGruff that gives you more control. Or, just put a passcode on your phone to stop your child from using your phone without your permission.

MSI 9600GT..need help with volt mods?

Okay, anybody with an MSI 9600GT (T2D512) have any luck finding volt mods to raise the GPU and/or Memory voltages? How about it Bosskiller, think you can massage some MSI tech to write me a bios to raise the GPU voltage to 1.3 or 1.4 volts? I'm only about 2000 3D Mark03/05 points away from top place in that class..but I need more volts! LOL. Gigabyte has a software program which raises voltage in the GUI, but unfortunately, it wont work on a non-Gigabyte card:(. Think you can get 10-20 bios editors to work on that for me?? Hahahah.
Paul

@Aaron, cooling is stock MSI "Seaweed" fan..cards run 37-48C max benchmarking (using OCZ feeZe heatpaste compound).
@Frankenputer, yes I know the implications, if I fry the cards..I won't cry about it..
All other users/readers, remember, modding is like gambling..if you cant afford to lose..dont do it!

Project Server 2013: I am using Project Server Permission Mode and need help with permission assignments?

Hi
Project Server 2013: I am using Project Server Permission Mode and need help with permission assignments?
How can I change Permissions for the individual users to see specific projects or all projects in project center and to see specific quick launch items?
For Example: if i have 4 users, A, B, C and D. what i want is:
User A can see everything and act as a project manager or Admin.
User B can view all projects in project centre but can change the schedule or resource assignment etc.
User C can only act as approver of projects and can view all projects in project centre.
User D can only view specific projects for which permissions are given.
can i have some expert help in sorting and understanding permission modes... as i was playing with project server mode permissions and can't figure out how to apply the above scenario to set of my user.
Thanks in Advance
Cheers
AJ

Hi Ajay,
Please refer to this link for detailed explanations about PS2013 security model.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc197638(v=office.15).aspx
Actually, it will take a couple of days to explain in detail the security model that is a fundamental and tricky aspect of every PS implementation. But basically, you NEVER set permissions for a single user. You have groups in which your insert users. Groups
define "what users can do". Then you associate groups to a corresponding category. Categories define "what user can see". Thus the association of a group with a category will set "what the user can do on the objects he can see". Then, for more advanced security
level, you can use the RBS that will consist in "branches" in which you'll insert users. Based on those branches, you'll customize categories to fine-tune what user can see (for projects and resources) depending on the RBS branch and level.
I'd advice you to start "playing" in a test environment with the default categories/groups that might probably cover your need.
Concerning your 4 users:
user A : add him to the "administrator" group. Be careful that you're mentionning either project manager or administrator, which are 2 groups/categories with totally different permissions level.
user B : basically can see everything and change everything? it could be in the project manager group, assuming that there are no project visibility restrictions on the category via the RBS.
user C : waht do you mean by "approver"? Workflow approvals? Then it will be the portfolio manager group. Task update or timesheet approval? Then it is another long topic: please refer in the documentation to the "status manager" and "timesheet manager"
concepts. There are not related to the security model. In a few words, the status manager is the owner of the project plan, is defined for each task and approves tasks updates. The timesheet manager is an attribute defined for each resource in its parameters
and approves resource timesheet.
user D : you have to define which permission level must be given to this user. Basically it could be a team member that will see only projects he's in the project team. Note that team member cannot interact with the project plan in another way than submitting
timesheets and/or tasks updates which must be approved.
Once more, those are large and complex subjects that require a deep dive into your business model and tons of tests in a test environment.
Hope this helps.

Help with .TGA alpha layer

So i already tried on 1 forum http://gimpforums.com/newthread.php?fid=7 (Gimp)
I need some help with making a alpha channel; Funny thing is. I made it work once a few days ago. I went to bed and forgot to write down how i did it (Tried everything, almost)
In the link right here http://www.mediafire.com/?debcev89sv2k77n i have 4 files;
- Q3a_arrow_gimp_ver4.tga (TGA that works as i want it) You'll notice ALL the alpha channels have a black layer channel in the channels tab, how do i recreate that? |||||| 1 thing you will notice with this working as intended picture is that the channels are diffrent from Q3a_arrow_methodtry.tga/Q3a_arrow.png i do not know how to make it look the same?
- Q3a_arrow_methodtry.tga (tried to recreate with THIS tutorial http://www.lucasforums.com/archive/index...26716.html with no success P.S. i tried loooads of tutorials but this recreation seems rather close to the working .TGA i need)
- Q3a_arrow.ai (sourcematerial all vector from Adobe Illustrator)
- Q3a_arrow.png (picture with transparency intact, rendered from Illustrator if needed for comparison)
So; Now... What i did to make the working picture was making a .PNG from Illustrator - drag it into gimp.. I recall doing some Alpha and or masking or selection thing with it, then rendered it for .TGA since Illustrator does not support the kind of .TGA i needed. The image worked flawlessly in the engine where i used a function called->
alphafunc GE128 (blend with black as invisible layer and white as solid - it is a open gl C command)
(standard image) http://s471.photobucket.com/albums/rr75/...lip-12.png
(after code applied) http://s471.photobucket.com/albums/rr75/...-46-54.png

Hmm nope that did not fix it; The tutorial was a bit outdated i had to use mask transparency instead of fill because layers only have 1 right click menu now.
By the way i need my image to be a 32 bit .TGA with a black background so that the special program i need the picture for can read the black color/alphalayer?
I was hoping someone could take a look at the alpha channels and help me step by step to recreate it. (All source is made by me so do not assume i am lazy, might even be trying as you read this as i want it to work badly)

No support for pse4, need help with help and everything else.What's a layer? How can I get help PDF from CD? I don't have a clue how to use this. I have a Macbook pro.

Need help with help pse4 not supported by adobe. how to do topics not available and I have never used any thing like this. Help says there is a download but have not been able to get it. What's a rookie to do ? Is there somewhere I can go to find out how to use PSE4?

The internet is overflowing with tutorials on PSE. Just google what you want and include Photoshop Elements 4 as part of your search term, or go to the library and they may have several different books on PSE 4. For PSE 4, you won't find a mac specific book, but that doesn't matter because the editor is the same on either program. Just substitute Command for Ctrl and Option for Alt in the keystrokes, and ignore anything about the organizer.
Some popular sites for learning elements:

lynda.com
eclecticacademy.com
youtube has a lot of video tutorials, too.
