How can i make something look like it was embossed in PS?
I have a simple shape...a rectangle filled with a solid color. It is a separator bar on a poster. I want the top of the bar to have highlight and the bottom of the bar to be darkened. (As if I brought it into PS and applied an emboss filter)
I tried using a gradient and got ok results. Is there a better way to do this?
TIA
Dean
If you count me, now two people want to know how to emboss a simple shape or path in Ai. I already know how to do it in both Photoshop and Fireworks, both a piece of pie, but I (we) must be overlooking something astonishingly obvious in Illustrator.
Why not do it in Photoshop? Because the background from Ps comes along for the ride - even if it's transparent in Ps. And, unless I flatten the embossed path in Fw (converting it to bitmap from vector), the emboss doesn't paste into Ai, and then the background comes along...
regards, su

Can you make it look like it was painted
can you make a photo look like it was painted with apature 3
Painting runs the gamut from, say, house-painting to Jan van Eyck, with stops along way for Ellsworth Kelly, Willem de Kooning, and even that electrifier of turds, Thomas Kincade.
You might be able to mimic a few of these with the tools in Aperture. What do you have in mind? -
I don't want to just reinstall the older version, since I'll be constantly refusing update requests and will lose any new security updates. I just want to have the layout I had before FF changed it without informing me in advance. Otherwise I will switch to a different browser. I'm a patient man, so I will give FF 24 hours to correct this unwanted annoyance before switching over to the competition.

I am trying to install the NI-VISA 2.01 driver I downloaded from the NI website on a HP-UX 10.2 platform, but it keeps giving me the following error:
tar: /var/spool/sw/NICVISA.DPT: This doesnt look like a tar archive.
I also get errors telling me that files can't be loaded because their missing from source media. What could be causing this? Some of the files are msgrt4.txt,ni7seg24.bdf,ni7seg26, etc... Can these needed files be downloaded anywhere or is the problem linked to the tar archive scenario..The files were corrupt. Originally I had downloaded the driver files to my PC and used FTP to transfer them to my UNIX machine.
Your tech support rep. suggested I download the driver files via ftp.ni.com to my UNIX machine vs. the PC...this worked great. I am now communicating with my instrument -

thank you guys so much.
I'm sorry
if I bothering you.There are probably 1000's of tutorial about layout in WPF but I have found that the people on this forum have the best handle on how to use WPF. I am now near a workstation and have the following code example which should get you started. (the example
is in VB but it is the XAML which is important).
<Window x:Class="MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" Loaded="Window_Loaded">
<Window.Resources>
<Style TargetType="ListBox" x:Key="myListbox" >
<Setter Property="ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility" Value="Hidden"></Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility" Value="Visible" ></Setter>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid Background="#FF040404">
<ListBox Style="{StaticResource myListbox }"
HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="237" Margin="23,46,0,0"
VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="470"
ItemsSource="{Binding theList}" Background="Transparent" >
<ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<UniformGrid Rows="2"></UniformGrid>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid Background="#FF574A4A" Width="150" Height="75" Margin="0,0,10,0" >
<TextBlock Text="{Binding theCaption}" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Foreground="#FFF5EFEF"></TextBlock>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</Grid>
</Window>
Class MainWindow
Public Property theList As New List(Of theItem)
Private Sub Window_Loaded(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
For i As Integer = 0 To 5
Dim ti As New theItem With {.theCaption = "Caption " + i.ToString}
theList.Add(ti)
Next
DataContext = Me
End Sub
End Class
Public Class theItem
Public Property theCaption As String
End Class
The above XAML define a listbox with the properties I mentioned in my previous post. There is a listbox with an ItemTemplate (define how each item should be displayed) and a definition of how the layout
should be done (ItemsPanel). The is also a style which uses datatriggers to show/hide your scrollbar. If you have questions about what I presented please ask but I would ask that you try it first so that you can see how it looks .
And I'm sorry for the small font above but this forum editor constantly give me problems.

How can I make a image like this one? (image in description)
Hi guys I need to know how can I make a image like this one http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/2710/69823211.gif
I need step by step instructions please. How can I animate it like that? Whats the font? Tell me everything please.To do a step by step instruction on here will take someone a very long time, as you havent really said at what level you are at.
On Youtube there are a lot of animation tutorials for PS. But essentially in this case you are moving that white streak across a few frames at a time.

No.
I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

How can I make the skin like rock ?
How can I make the skin of a dramatic BW image of a Boxer look like peeling lava skin ? I know that's a funny way to say it, but I want to make him look like rock and lava with hard cracks and such. Anyone have some ideas ?
I'm sorry Myron, I didn't mean to cause your thread to go in the wrong direction. I was feeling a bit frisky after a long day.
Making skin look like something else is not a task I do normally, but if I were to want to experiment I'd probably try things like pasting a section of rock over the top of the skin in question, then set the mixing mode to Luminosity (so that just the luminance of the rock surface is used with the color of the face. Use masking and partial mixing to help blend it.
Seek (or capture) rock imagery with the light coming from the same direction, and with a similar level of detail. That will help make it seem more believable.
There may be others (I hope) who will chime in with more specific instructions or other tricks o' the trade that they've found to work.
Best of luck, and please don't be afraid to show your results.

How can I make 3d shadow like this

How can I make shadow like this
Thank youCould you post (a section of) the image you want to edit?
I assume you could
• create a fairly good mask of the skin areas and use that as a Layer Mask for a Layer Group
• create Adjustment Layers, Solid Color Layers, plain Layers with appropriate Blend Modes, … and paint in artificial shadows
