How can I save a layer including the blended multiply effect, separate from background ?

there might be a simple answer to this, but i can't find one anywhere!
i have a very simple PSD, so i'll try to explain this super simply..
one transparent layer, with just a pair or eyebrows, with the only added blend effect as 'multiply'
one background with a face, no eyebrows.
the layer blends the eyebrows in to the background face perfectly.
i want to save the layer as a separate file keeping the tranparency and including the result of the multiply effect, without the background.
the reason why i want to do this may confuse things, but basically i want several different eyebrow colours to be interchangeable over this face in an application that doesn't recognise the blending link with the background, so i want to save it in PS !
any clues ?

Ok uploaded simple version here.
no copy merged didn't work, it saves the background image, it's odd I know, but i want to save the resultant layer including the blend effect of multiply transparently without any sign of the background required for said blend function. the two separate layers will then be used in an entirely different 3D scenario where the brows will need to 'appear' blended with the background.
hopefully i've made the images easy enough, i figure if it's hard to understand what i'm trying to do it's like Einstein said, i can't explain it simply enough
soo.. here's capture no. 1 showing eyebrow layer with 'multiply', the surrounding hair detail is very finicky after being drawn and needs to blend with different skin shades as per the sample background layer.
..and this is no 2, showing the blend multiply effect on the layer with no bg visible, i want this one but with the background multiply pixels, sans background !
and finally, the layer with normal and no 'multiply' along with the dark background..
..hope this helps explain my quandary, it's hard to explain why in detail, but the core problem is that i need to save the layer WITH the effect pixel result of the multiply blend withOUT the background
really thinking that PS doesn't have the ability to save these pixels in such a way, have found a work-around but this would truly save hours plus make a better finished product for the bizarred 3D application!
thanks so much for the interest and help

How can I save multiple titles under the same DVD?

I use HandBrake to rip DVD's into iTunes. How can I save multiple titles under the same DVD? For instance, I have a Jimi Hendrix documentary that comes with special features, such as concert performances. I would like to have the main feature and the special features saved in my iTunes under the same title, perhaps as different 'tracks' (kind of like how different songs can be saved under the same album).
Is there a way for me to do this, or am I chasing phantoms?

*This response is for iPhoto 11 (v9). If you're using an earlier version, please post back and let us know. Troubleshooting steps are not the same for different versions. To find out which iPhoto you have: iPhoto Menu -> About iPhoto)*
Duplicate the photo first. (Photos -> Duplicate). This means that you will have multiple copies of the master as well as the edited version.
If you use versions like this often and wish to have only one master then you can do this with Aperture.

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated to one of the firefox versions (Not sure which one it was)

Thanks Alex, but sadly I already tried that. Neither .docx or .xlsx files show up in the content list. They both show as a Chrome HTML document so changing how Firefox addresses those doesn't help since it thinks its the same type of file. I don't think I can manually add files into the "Content Type" left side nav.

How can I save my data and the date,the time into the same file when I run this VI at different times?

I use a translation stage for the experiment.For each user in the lab the stage position (to start an experiment) is different.I defined one end of the stage as zero. I want to save the position , date and time of the stage with respect to zero.I want all these in one file, nd everytime I run it it should save to the same file, like this:
2/12/03 16:04 13567
2/13/03 10:15 35678
So I will track the position from day to day.If naybody helps, I appreciate it.Thanks.

Hi,
I know the function "write to spreadsheet file.vi"
can append the data
to file. You can use the "concatenate strings" to display the date,
time as well as data... Hope this help.

How can I save a file in the server?

Hello,
I am writing a Java Web Start program that it will generate a html file, how can I save the generated file in the server, fro example, the directory where I stored my JAR files. Because right now, it will create the html file in the local client mahcine instead of the server. Can anyone tell me how can I do this? Thanks you.

Yeah, thanks but that's not what I was trying to ask.
I know that you can save and open a document by performing these three steps:
1. Confirming to save a file to the Downloads folder
2. Open the download manager by clicking the temporarily green arrow
3. Clicking on the downloaded file
What I would like to know is whether or not it is possible to have Firefox open a saved file ''automatically''. At the moment, if I choose to open it automatically, it is only saved to my temp folder.
It would be great though if it was saved to my Downloads folder ''and'' opened with the respective program on my pc. Is there a way to do this?

How can I get Firefox to include the http when copying and pasting from the address bar?

I know you can use "browser.urlbar.trimURLs" in about:config to re-enable the display of "http://" on URLs in the address bar, but I think there's an actual bug with hiding them in the address bar that should be corrected:
When I click and drag in the address bar to select part of an address, including the beginning of the address, then use CTRL+C to copy it, and CTRL+V to paste it into something else, the pasted URL does not include "http://"; this is often inconvenient and will break in certain forms and so on.
In Chrome--where I guess the http-hiding feature was copied from--if you click and drag to select part of the URL including the beginning, then copy, when you paste, the "http://," hidden in their address bar, *is* included. That's how it *should* work. Firefox's implementation is incomplete and frustrating.

This is a known problem and should be fixed in Firefox 8.<br>

Move the "File Dialog" where you open your new file out of the while loop. Only pass the refnum inside the loop.

How can I save multiple links using the "save link as" function?

I'm trying to save about 300 pdf files. The link to each one is listed ona website. To save each one I'm right clicking on the link, selecting "save link as" and repeat.
How can I select multiple links and save them?

Actually you can save multiple page pdf's in elements.
Try something like this:
(This is easier if you have the project bin open)
1. Select the first page
2. Right click on that page in the project bin and choose Add Blank Page or as many pages as you need.
3. Use the move tool and drag your pages down into the blank pages in the project bin
4 Then File>Save As>Acrobat.PDF

How can I save a file in the Downloads folder and automatically have it opened?

Often, I'd like to download a file, save it to my Downlaods folder and have it opened right away.
Currently, you can only decide between the two options "open" or "save to...". There's seemlingly no way Firefox can do both at once.
I know I can download it, open the downloads manager and open it manually. But when working with over a dozen documents a day, that doesn't quite do the trick.
In Chrome, you only have to click twice: Once for downloading and once for opening it from the download bar on the bottom of the screen. You do not have to open a download manager.

Yeah, thanks but that's not what I was trying to ask.

How can I get Mail to include the entire conversation thread in a reply?

Hi there,
So, for work I end up having to manage all my email on the gmail website because people need to be able to see the entire thread and the Mail app doesn't seem to include everything. It just replies with the most recent message and that's it.
It works fine on the gmail website so I'm thinking this must be a thing in the Mail app.
Is there a setting I can change in the Mail app to allow me to reply and include the entire thread by default?
Thanks!

Mail menu > Preferences... > Composing
Choose the applicable preferences under Responding.
If Mail does appear to show the entire thread, click the blue "See more from..." text at the bottom.

How can I save/write data on the hard disc of the Real-Time System?

I would like to acquire huge size of data via LabView Real-Time System.
Since data is so huge, I am now thinking that it might be good idea to
write/save data on the hard disc of the Real-Time System first and then
transfer the data file to a data processing PC using FTP etc.
If you know how to save/write data on the hard disc of the Real-Time System
(Ver. 7.1), please let me know.
Thanks,

Just to add to Aitortxo's good answer,
Since you have only one Drive ( C:\) on your RT, just keep monitering the availible disc space.
After every few set of file writes keep transferring Backups delete these files, so that you keep C:\ drive space for running your applications.

How can I save my progress of the games

Some games like Tetris you pass levels but every time I have to un-frees and re-start all the games start over. I hate this!!
Is there a way to save the progress?????

Really I don't know who to thank directly. Everyone who has responded I guess. All the input I have received from this group has given me pieces of the puzzle.
I think at one point I did a Migration Assistant and selected applications and files from my Snow Leopard iMac to my external bootable HD with Yosemite.
Then I booted with Yosemite (which shows up on my Snow Leopard desktop) and went to Users (I think) and selected my old home folder and then pictures and then iPhoto Library. At that point I think I tried dragging the iPhoto library onto an open window in iPhoto (the latest version) and eventually chose to replace the library new library with my old iPhoto library. Somewhere along the way I got a message saying the updated library would no longer be accessible with older versions of iPhoto. But I got brave and opted to use my iPhoto library in my old Pictures file.
I thought it was safe and it DID work and yes all the info seems to be there.
However when I restarted using my iMac with my old Hard drive selected (running Snow Leopard), then tried to open iPhoto it told me I needed a new version of iPhoto now to open this library. I went crazy for a while, but finally managed to use Time Machine to restore an older version of iPhoto library, and now iPhoto is back to working on Snow Leopard using iPhoto 9.
I am afraid to open the external Yosemite HD now, for fear I will mess up my iMac.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
I think I will wait until I've bought a new iMac with Yosemite installed to experiment any more. But at least I know it is possible to bring my old iPhoto library over to Yosemite without losing my keywords and Smart Folders. Yea!!!
Again, thank you to everyone who took the time to help.
Sincerely,
Carol
