How can i create a mask of grays?

Hi
i did learn how create a saturation mask (a mask that contains the colors)
how can i create a mask with the grays ?
can i do it? how can  i create it ?
the only way i can thing it's use a color selective adjustament layer and set to +100 black every sliders outside grays
but i don't think it's a mask with all the Grays
thanks

If you start out with, say, this image in Lab:
Then duplicate the layer and set Blend If, in both the a and b channels, to 123 - 133. That layer will then look like this:
You see you have all the neutrals from black to white, but not the saturated colors. You can load transparency here as a selection the normal way - ctrl+alt+2, or ctrl-click the L channel. Save the selection and you have your mask.
How much fuzziness you want in the neutrals is determined by where you set the Blend If sliders. You can also split the sliders with the alt key for a softer transition. Here it includes 5 values either side of strict neutral.

  • How can I create side bars without cropping the image?

    I want to create side bars because I am projecting in an vertical panel, but if I crop the image them I only get the middle part of it.
    How can I create side bars in an way that I can still move the image inside?

    On a Video Track directly above the clip(s) you want to have behind the side bars, place a clip of Color (or whatever you want to use for your sidebars).
    Now go to the Effects Tab > Matte >Mask Shape and drag the Mask Shape filter to the Color clip you have placed on the timeline.
    Double click on the clip to open it in the viewer, and click on the Filters Tab.
    Click Invert Box, and adjust the shape to get the side bars you want.
    And now the clip(s) that are beneath this effect will have the side bars and be independent of it, so that you can move them around.

  • How can I Create a white hot spot.

    How can I create a white hotspot in an image, i.e. A bright spot with feathered edges for a figure to walk out of, a bit like a sun?

    Create new layer, make an eliptical selection, and fill with the colour of choice.  A muted yellow perhaps.
    Use a high value Gausian blur to soften and feather the layer.  High values of blur will make the flare very thin, so if too thin, duplicate the layer.
    Use Free Transfor to size and shape the flare.
    or
    Select the figure, and copy to a new layer.
    Double click the new layer to open Layer Styles, and use Outer Glow, and some inner glow.  This is by far the better option as you can control the inner and outer glow independantly.
    or
    Open a new document with a square aspect ratio.  Make it at least as big as the other image.
    make a new layer, and make foreground colour yellow, and BG colour white
    Go Filter > Render Fibers.  Use full strength, and a lowish variance.  You are looking for strong, closely spaced vertical streaks.
    Now go Filter > Distort > Polar coordinates.  Make sure Rectangular to Polar is checked and OK it.
    Duplicate the layer to your other image document, and place behind the layer with your figure on it.
    You can play with the flare layer with curves, or maybe add a wee bit of blur and then harden with curves or levels
    If you want the flare layer to overlap the figure a bit, Ctrl (Cmd) click the figure layer to load it as a selection, and add a layer mask to the flare layer.  Move the flare layer above the figure layer.  Now feather the layer mask, using the Mask Properties panel, or use Mask Edge options in the Mask properties panel to expand, or contract the mask.
    Good luck, and let us see the end result.

  • How can we transform opacity mask of an art?

    Hello All,
    I have created one triangle and created one opacity mask for that traingle. Look into the opacityMask.jpg file
    Now I have used AITransfromSuite::Transfrom( ) function to transfrom the traingle art. Traingle is transformed to a new location but the opacity mask is not transfromed? Look into the transfromedTriangle.jpg file.
    So, could you please tell me how can we transfrom opacity mask so that both inputTriangle and transformedTriangle are same??

    Hi,
    I'm not sure having totally understood your request.
    Do you want to apply a translation matrix to an art or to its opacity mask?
    Do you want to make a copy of an existing art and translate this copy?
    Anyway, even if you make a copy of an existing art and translate it, the copy should have the same aspect!
    Then, you have the stuff to complete your task:
    reply for a question you posted days ago:

    should be ok.

    How can i create a new usb connection (service)  on my iMac for sharing internet from my iPhone5 ( i seem have to deleted it )
    i know its not a problem whit my carrier o data plan or sharing preferences on the ipone because when i use it un my laptop it works perfectly through
    the usb and even works on the Imac through wifi and bluethood tethering but NOT through usb!!.
    the problem is that trying to make it work i deleted the "profile" usb iphone on the network prefereces panel. Now i only have 3 options: ethernet / wifi / bluetooth
    but not the usb iPhone i used to have.
    And when i try to add a new one i dont get a USB option.
    can some one help me please??
    this is how it looks (after the bluetooth PAN i used to have USB iPhone option)

    The question would be more appropriate in the Mac forums as it is not really related to the iPhone.

  • How can I create a new ring tone for my iPhone 4?

    How can I create a new ring tone for my iPhone 4? I followed the Garage Band process and ended up with the ring tone I want as a AAC audio file. It got stored in my iTunes a a song rather than a ring tone. How do I make it a ring tone vs. a song? I tried dragging it t the Ring Tone category at the bottom of the ITunes list, but it won't alloow me to move it?

    There's also an easy to use Applescript over at Doug's Applescripts for iTunes. It automates the whole thing. All you do is set the start and stop time on a file in iTuens and run the script. It will do everything else.

    How can I create a text pop up window in my Pages document? I want text to pop up when the reader hovers his/her cursor over a certain word in the document. I am teacher. So for example when a student came to word he/she did not know, if he/she hovered the cursor over the word, a defintion or other information would appear.  You can do this in Word using bookmarks/hyperlinks but I can't figure this out in Pages. I can link it to another point in my Pages document but I just need the text to pop up - not take the reader to another location.  THANK YOU!!!!!!

    Have you tried Word for Mac?
    You will need to test if links survive export or printing to .pdf

  • How can I create a Forms9i Runtime for client distribution

    Currently we have an application developed in Forms 5.0.6.8.0 our Database has been upgraded to 9i DB. The application is working fine with this combination but we want to upgrade Forms in order to get Oracle Support. We just get the Developer Suite 9i package and we're trying to test our application with this software.
    How can I create the client runtime for Forms 9i?
    My application will work with Win 95 and 98?
    Thanks.

    Oracle9i Forms is web-only. Forms 6i is the last release of Forms to have client/server and character mode.
    You can test Forms from the Builder by installing iDS. To deploy Forms using iAS follow the documentation. It's all there in the deployment guide.
    iAS and Forms doco can be found on OTN.

  • How can I create an EntityStore for a Database?  Advice on DB strategy?

    Hello All,
    How can I create an com.sleepycat.persist.EntityStore for a com.sleepycat.db.Database? Advice on DB strategy?
    I'm looking to create an application prototype that creates a database dynamically and can delete it programatically. Is openDatabase/removeDatabase what I'd want to use for that?
    So far, the Direct Persistence Layer is an amazing piece of technology and has the potential to make my team's application faster than we every though possible, so kudos to the author.
    I've built a high-security application using the DPL and a single database for hundreds millions of users. I'd like to attempt to create a database for each user for security and manageability purposes. Our mission statement doesn't allow us to execute queries for sensitive data across more than one user account at a time, so I don't get any benefit from having every user's objects in a single database. I'm investigating if giving each user their own database will speed up insert times and SecondaryIndex queries. It'll certainly be more secure as each database will be encrypted with a unique password.
    My design is that I have an app with dozens of com.sleepycat.persist.model.Entity beans which I persist and query on their Primary and secondary indexes. I've been accessing things through an EntityStore as illustrated in the Getting Started Guide. Can I access a database created with openDatabase through an EntityStore and com.sleepycat.persist.PrimaryIndex?

  • How can I create a toolbar

    How can I create a tool bar with a functions defined by the user .? For example on the case of explorer on windows there exists a tool bar which can capable to opt tools which been pre determined .How can this be make possible in my application using Labview ?

    Well, a pop up menu is not like a tool bar, but you can find one example here.
    In general, if you want the menu to open more screens, you will need to create and call those as subVIs.
    If this still doesn't help you, I suggest you explain your problem in more detail, and maybe post a screenshot of the what you want to get (no BMPs, please).
    To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here and here are a couple you can start with. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
    In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).
