How can I make an object appear to glow (produce it's own light)?

Can anyone help me with this? ex. make a plant glow like a lightning bug or things like a "light saber"? have tried lots of things but nothing looks realistic.

Hello! When something appears to glow, the glowing object will often appear high in value (i.e. close to white) with very little color, with a much more colorful halo around it. You will see this in the lightsaber effect, as well as neon signs, street lamps, and similar sorts of light sources.
To emulate this in Photoshop, here is an example of a yellow-orange light source glowing against a dark forest background, which could be a firefly or something like that.
I began with a stock image of a forest at night, and using an airbrush with white selected for the foreground color, painted a small circle on a transparent layer.
To indicate the color of the light, I selected the layer with the white circle on it, and clicked the Layer Effects button within the layers panel.
From the drop-down menu, I selected Color Overlay.
I chose a very saturated yellow, and turned the opacity down to around 23%. This shows the color of the light while keeping it close to white, indicating the brightness.
To show the glow, I chose Outer Glow from inside the Layer Effects panel. I chose a similar saturated yellow, set the blending mode to Screen, and set the opacity to around 80%.
And here is the final image. Is this similar to the effect you were going for?

How can i make my object appear as a mesh?

How can I make an object appear as a mesh? I dont want anything as complicated as a coloured gradient I just want a flat object to appear like a net. Is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks

Jules,
Depending on the shape, and upon the appearance (varying width and/or knotting or whatever), it may be anything from a Rectangular/Polar Grid (bundled with the Line Segment Tool) to something intricate and difficult.

How can I make an image appear partially in front and partially behind another layer in Adobe Illustrator?

How can I make an image appear partially in front and partially behind another layer in Adobe Illustrator?

Put the image behind the layer (at the back of it or on a layer below). With it still selected, Copy.
Now Paste in Front (Ctrl+F). Depending on your Paste Remembers Layers setting, you may have to bring the newly pasted copy to the front, or to the upper layer.
Draw a shape over the image to define the portion of it you want to appear "in front."
With the shape and the image selected, clip the image using the shape. (Object > Clipping Mask > Make)

I have created a spreadsheet on numbers for ipad with a list of customers as a drop down menu. How can i make their address appear underneath when i select the customer?

I have created a spreadsheet on numbers for ipad with a list of customers as a drop down menu. How can i make their address appear underneath when I select the customer?
iselect the customer?

Hi bazza,
We won't be able to put the address from a formula into the same cell that you enter the customer's name. We can put the address in the cell under the customers name.
First let's take James advice and concatenate the address in the address table.
Here is the formula in G2
=CONCATENATE(B2&"
",C2&"
",D2&"
",E2)
It shows this way because after I clicked on B2 and typed [&"] (no brackets) I typed option-return
This gives you your new line. Then I typed the closing ". I repeated this for the rest of the address.
Next we want to bring this to your order sheet. I prefer using the two formulas OFFSET and MATCH instead of VLOOKUP.
base tells OFFSETwhere to start counting from. Click A1.
row-offset is for the row. we will use MATCH() -1 to give us the row.
What MATCH does is give you the row number where something is found and you can specify an exact match. I usually construct the MATCH formula first and then cut and paste it into OFFSET. MATCH looks like this: MATCH(A2,Table 1::A,0). A2 is what we are looking for, Table 1A::A is where we are looking (the entire column A), and 0 means we want an exact match. Can you see it inside the OFFSET formula? Notice that we had to subtract 1 from its result.
column-offset tells OFFSET which column A=0 so we want 6.
we ignore "rows", "colomns" we don't need them.
If this seems like too much, just break it down into small pieces.

How can we make one object as synchronizable?

Hi!
I am new to java.How can we make one object as synchronizable?
Thanx

Synchronize is used to make an object and/or a functional sequence thread safe. By itself it does not make something thread safe.
So the point is to make something thread safe not just to synchronize it.
You can either sychronize a method like so....
      public synchronized void doit()
Or you synchronize on an object (where 'Object' below is solely as an example, any object can be used)...
      Object lockObject = new Object();
      public void doit()
         sychronized (lockObject)

Are you tapping on the field you want to enter data into? That opens the soft keyboard. If you touch the field and hold it, the paste option will appear.

You can add JPanels to a container in an overlapped fashion, when you switch off the layout manger of the container by:
bigPanel.setLayout(null);then you have to layout the container yourself by calling the
setBounds(x,y,width,height) method on the 3 panels.
But I don't know how to control the z-order of the panels.
I think using JLayeredPane is the better solution.
JLayerdPane definitely works with JPanels.

How can 1 make an object of user defined class immutable?

Hi All,
How can one make an object of user defined class immutable?
Whats the implementation logic with strings as immutable?
Regards,

Hi All,
How can one make an object of user defined class
immutable?The simple answer is you can't. That is, you can't make the object itself immutable, but what you can do is make a wrapper so that the client never sees the object to begin with.
A classic example of a mutable class:
class MutableX {
    private String name = "None";
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
}I don't think it's possible to make this immutable, but you can create a wrapper that is:
class ImmutableX {
    private final MutableX wrappedInstance;
    public ImmutableX (String name) {
        wrappedInstance = new MutableX();
        wrappedInstance.setName(name);
    public String getName() {
        return wrappedInstance.getName();
    // Don't give them a way to set the name and never expose wrappedInstance.
}Of course, if you're asking how you can make your own class immutable then the simple answer is to not make any public or protected methods that can mutate it and don't expose any mutable members.
Whats the implementation logic with strings as
immutable?
Regards,I don't understand the question.

How can I make row labels appear on the right

I am creating a timeline for a web development project in numbers
I have changed the content scale to get it to fit on two pages (it's illegible on one page) but the tasks are overlaid on the grey column containing row labels
How can I make the row labels appear on the right side instead of the left side?

Thanks Badunit - that was a big help
The counterintuitive part of this whole exercise is that to get the timeline printed as I want, I've got to leave the column representing Week 8 blank

Numbers has got Excel beat in so many ways, but there are some baffling bits to it!

How can I make my Logo appear after 10 seconds of loading the background?

Hi,
I have an animation Logo flash movie which I want to appear after 10 seconds of loading the background image (Panel_mc)?
I am using Actionscript 3 to load the Logo.swf movie. The following is the whole code that I have on my action script page:
stop();
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var PanelTween:Tween = new Tween(Panel_mc, "y", Elastic.easeOut, -400, 20, 5, true);
var l:Loader=new Loader();
addChild(l);
l.load(new URLRequest("Logo.swf"));
l.x = -20;
l.y = -20;
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, growLoader);
function growLoader(evt:Event):void {
l.width = 320;
l.height = 185;
Note: I need it because first the background will animate so no one can pay attention to my Logo. Once the background stops animation, My logo needs to be start (animation)?
How can I do it using Actionscript 3.
Hope somebody will help me.
Thanks.

If you look into the few code elements I mentioned, either in the help documentation or using Google, you will find examples that you can use/modify for your current project. You'll learn more by doing some work yourself rather than having solutions handed to you. We are all learners... yes, it can be hard, but it gets easier when you work at it.

How Can I Make Title Cards Appear with Flicker Behind Them?

Hello professionals,
I have a question for you, guys: I am editing a short film now which is a throwback to some old 1930's films. I keep creating the title cards but the font always looks to modern. How can I create the title cards in Final Cut Pro so they have that old, 1930's feel flicker to it? An example of this would be the opening credits in this film:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvXtjWq-k78
I'd like to do something similar. Thank you so much in advance.
Matthew

While it won't be exactly the same you can easily create something similar. Go to the GENERATORS BROWSER and select TEXTURES and the PAPER and drag that to the timeline. Then in TITLES drag the BASIC TITLE on top of your paper and select the font you want while changing the colour to black, etc. in the INSPECTOR.
Select the title and paper on your timeline and right-click and select NEW COMPOUND CLIP.
In the EFFECTS select VIGNETTE and drop that on your clip. Then you could add FILM GRAIN, SIDELIGHTS, or perhaps PROJECTOR and in the INSPECTOR adjust the parameters.
Not sure if that's what you're looking for but it's a possibility.

Some users don't appear at the login screen when restarting, only upon logging in as a user who does appear, then logging out. How can I make all users appear on the initial list?

I've inherited a previously used early 2011 13-inch MacBook Pro at work.
I now have my own account on the computer, however the account does not show up on the list of users to log in as in the start up log in screen. It will only appear if I first log in as one of the users who do appear, then logout. The background also changes between these two log in screens - the start up one is white whereas after logging out of one user it's the brushed steel background. My account has admin powers.
Anyone have any ideas how I can make this account also show up on the start up screen?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I do think it has something to do with FileVault.
Under System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> FileVault I try and click "Enable users" near the bottom (after unlocking with an admin password). If I do this from my own account a green check mark appears next to my name, but upon clicking "done" I received this message after a brief loading period:
The following users weren’t allowed to unlock this disk because an unknown error occurred: (myusername).
I tried going into the root account and performing this same process, the first time System Prefences unexpectedly quit, and the second I received the same error as above after clicking the "Enable User..." button next to my account and trying to hit "Done".
