How do i apply one gradient across multiple live paint objects??

I need to apply a single gradient acros a number of live paint objects but am finding it annoyingly hard to find a way. I know that normally, to apply a gradient across multiple objects, you would need to make them all into one compound path but does this apply to live paint groups in any way?? Can what i need to achieve actually be done??
Thanks for any help given

1. With the Live Paint selection tool, shift-select those shapes you want to unify with a gradient.
2. Fill this (multi-shape) selection with your gradient. Now each shape is filled separately.
3. With the gradient tool, drag across all of the selected shapes.
"Annoyingly hard." Is that different than "hard"?

Live paint object gradients

I have a live paint object made up of many shapes and lines. I need to put different gradients into many of the live paint areas. However, when I try to adjust the way a gradient fills one section of the live paint object, using the gradient tool,all of the gradients change. Is there a way to change the direction and angle of one area of the live paint object without affecting all of the gradient filled areas in it?

Actually, now that I look again, you can manipulate the gradient with the Gradient Tool after selecting with the Live Paint Selection Tool.
I thought I had seen a discussion of getting around the horrible highlight, but I haven't found it yet.

After you have done either of the previous options to get the transition on the current slides, you can add the transition to the Master Slide so all your new slides will default to the same transition.

You can't but you can copy the adjustments made on one photo and apply/paste it onto another by:
1 - Control (right)-clicking one the edited photo in the Edit mode and selecting Copy Adjustsments
2 - Control-clicking on the next photo and selecting Paste Adjustments.

How do I spread one image across 2 pages?

You can't with a single image, but you can "fake" it. Duplicate the image & then line up the two halves. It's easier if you are viewing facing pages two-up.

How do i take one layer with multiple selections...

how do i take one layer with multiple selections and make those selections their own layer?

Yes sir. It w was really hard to explain. It is discontiguous segments that are separated by transparent areas. And I want those non transparent areas to be on their own layer. I have a photo shop file that has a bunch of buttons on them and they are on a transparent background. It is one layer. I want to select all the buttons and put them on their own layers. I can do this manually by selecting a button and cmd Just to a new layer, but when I have 200 buttons it is a daunting task.

How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac?

How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac? Seems this should be a preferences choice.

When you share your library between users, you may run into permission and ownership problems, if both users are editing the Aperture library and not only reading it. To avoid that, it helps to put the Aperture library onto a separate disk or a separate partion of your hard drive. For s separate partition or disk you can enable the "ignore ownership on this volume" flag. Then all users can access the library as owners of this library.
You might try to put the aperture library into a shared folder on your mac, but that has caused problems recently, i.e. when the library also contains video files.

How can I separate one column into multiple column?

How can I separate one column into multiple column?
This is what I have:
BUYER_ID ATTRIBUTE_NAME ATTRIBUTE_VALUE

0001 EMAIL [email protected]
0001 CURRENCY USD
0002 PHONE_NUMBER 555-555-0002

0002 CURRENCY USD
0003 PHONE_NUMBER 555-555-0003
0003 EMAIL [email protected]
0003 CURRENCY CAD
This is what I would like to have:
BUYER_ID PHONE_NUMBER EMAIL CURRENCY
0001 555-555-0001 [email protected] USD
0002 555-555-0002 [email protected] USD
0003 555-555-0003 [email protected] CAD
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is another solution. Suppose your actual table's name is test(which has the redundant data). create a table like this:
CREATE TABLE test2 (BUYER_ID number(10),PHONE_NUMBER varchar2(50),EMAIL varchar2(50),CURRENCY varchar2(50));
then you will type this procedure:
declare
phone_number_v varchar2(50);
EMAIL_v varchar2(50);
CURRENCY_v varchar2(50);
cursor my_test is select * from test;
begin
for my_test_curs in my_test loop
select ATTRIBUTE_VALUE INTO phone_number_v from test
where person_id=my_test_curs.person_id
and attribute_name ='PHONE_NUMBER';
select ATTRIBUTE_VALUE INTO EMAIL_v from test
where person_id=my_test_curs.person_id
and attribute_name ='EMAIL';
select ATTRIBUTE_VALUE INTO CURRENCY_v from test
where person_id=my_test_curs.person_id
and attribute_name ='CURRENCY';
INSERT INTO test2
VALUES (my_test_curs.person_id,phone_number_v,EMAIL_v,CURRENCY_v);
END LOOP;
END;
Then you will create your final table like this:
create table final_table as select * from test2 where 1=2;
After that write this code:
INSERT ALL
into final_table
SELECT DISTINCT(BUYER_ID),PHONE_NUMBER,EMAIL,CURRENCY
FROM TEST2;
If you have a huge amount of data in your original table this solution may take a long time to do what you need.

Can't rotate a gradient when it's a live paint object?

Hello,
OK-so I have a bunch of paths currently activated as a Live Paint object.
I place linear gradients in them, and when I go the gradient panel and try to rotate them, it looks like it will let me, by changing the rotation amount in the panel, but nothing happens in the gradient.
Is it possible to rotate a single gradient within a single, path while its still a Live Paint object?
thanks!

Hi Monika and Gradientmush!
So sorry for the delay....My client came in and we just finished up, so I just got your responses!
I feel like an idiot!!! That was it Monika...I completely forgot about the paint paint selections tool!!!! As soon as I selected it with that tool and rotated the gradient in the gradient panel, it worked beautifully!!!
Thanks so much to the both of you.....one of those duh..moments ;-)
Haven't used live paint in awhile, and I completely forgot about the separate selection tool!!!
thanks!

Is it possible to apply path styles to live paint objects or clipping paths?

Hey everybody! I tried searching for the answer online, but couldn't find what I was looking for...
I want to create an illustration with black outlines. Within these outlines I want to have some spots without outlines that stay clean within the lines. I have tried 3 options so far and have found a solution but it's far from ideal.
1. Create clipping masks for each element that has a spot on it and assign a stroke to the clipping path again after. However by creating the clipping path, the path styles dissapear. In this case I want to keep the pointed ends to the open path outlines (see top image).
2. Draw in the lines where the spots are and create a live paint object of the entire illustration. Then paint in the spots and other areas. However when I create this live paint object the lines again lose their applied styles and even 'end' at each intersection, creating nasty edges where the lines should go 'underneath' smoothly (see bottom image).
3. The option Im using now. Duplicate the path outlines and create clipping masks for the spots without strokes. Then put the stroked outline with the desired styles on top. The problem with this is that I have almost twice as much elements in my illustration now than I actually 'need'. And the styled outlines are not connected with the color underneath, so its very easy to accidentally move something around...
Does anybody know of an easier way to create this effect without all the hassle? Thanks in advance for you time!

I drew the dark beige shape by pasting a copy in front of the black stroke with light ebige fill. Used the pencil tool to redraw the bottom edge. Then fixed the leaks byusng a blending mode of darken.
I try to keep my illustrations simple using the fewest paths possible, to make future edits easy. Live paint creates a mess, so never use it as I like to control my compound paths and masks.

How do you apply a gradient to Levels Gamma in CS2?

In Adobe Photoshop versions 5 and 7, while retouching photographs I was able to change a levels gamma setting on a selected area, then make the levels change gradual from one side to the other by using the gradient tool. This enabled me to compensate for a gradual fall-off in brightness across an area of the photo. But in version CS2 (Windows XP Professional), the gradient tool seems to work only for added colors, not for the levels gamma.
Does anyone know how to apply a gradient to a levels gamma change in CS2? I can't seem to get it to work either on non-layered levels or on a levels layer.

Thanks for your reply -- this is a novel approach I haven't enough experience to figure out for myself! Chalk one up for the forum! In the meantime, I think I've found the "missing link" from the simple way I did it in Photoshop 5 and 7 to a similar way in CS2 -- I surveyed all the Gradient Presets, and found one which lookied exactly like the oft-repeated black-to-white preset, but which the tool-tip revealed is actually a "levels" preset. By selecting it, I was able to use the gradient tool to apply my levels change gradually across a selected area (or across the whole image if nothing is selected). This way I avoid having to edit masks.
But thanks for steering me on to a new way of thinking that I need to explore!

Gradient Across Multiple Objects?

I have a few dozen paint stroke objects that I'm wanting to apply a gradient to so the outlines fade from one color to another, but over all the lines as a whole rather than individually. I've tried a number of approaches but none have been successful. Does anybody have some good ideas on how to achieve this? Thanks.

Motion is likely to not allow grouping several objects if those objects contain various filters, or a mixture of groups with other objects... and ... the disclosure triangles are dialed down. If you collapse all the items you select, then grouping of multiple objects works.
It is possible to create image masks for each "stroke" (without the need for grouping the stroke objects together.) You can add as many Image Masks as you need. It's usually just more convenient to group all the objects together and use a single mask with the group.

How can I display selected tags across multiple e-mail addresses?

I receive email on a specific topic but via several e-mail addresses. How can I view selected tags where the resulting e-mails span several (7) email addresses. They are all active on my Thunderbird, but as far as I know, I can only display the selected tag on one of them at a time.
Any assistance greatly appreciated as this is a very big problem for me.
thanks, Ron75

This solution does not appear to work across multiple e-mail addresses.
Perhaps I should have said "work across multiple e-mail address at the same time. I get e-mail on specific topics via several email addresses and wish to view all the tagged emails regardless of which email account in which they reside.
I could not get this solution to select more than one email account at a time.

Scrollbars w/ one table across multiple tabs

Please help, I'm stumped on this...
User has requested that a single table be displayed across multiple tabbed canvases. Problem is that each tabbed canvase contains mulitple record data.
I can define a scrollbar using the block property pallette and have the scroll bar then display on the first tab. How can I define and display a scroll bar on the second and third tabs?
In the past, I created a stacked canvas view that replaces the 2nd/3rd tabs. In this instance, the user has requested that the data not be displayed via a stacked scrolling canvas.
Any ideas?

You mean the scrollbar does not scroll??
What is the number of records displayed value of
your block?
Your scrollbar should be working when your number of
records exceed the number of displayed items. Visual
attributes is for look and feel only.
Let's say your block number of records displayed is
5 and you have 10 records the scrollbar is not
scrolling??
Regards,
TonyCorrect. The scroll bar is not scrolling. For the base table block that is spread across three tabs, the number of records displayed is 5. When I execute the query, 6 records are returned. On the first tab, I used the block item property to set up the scroll bar x/y settings and height/width. Within the first tab, the scroll bar is working fine.
When the second tab is activated (e.g. it is the top most tab page) (w/ the stack canvas overlay scrollbar), the bar appears in the correct position but there is no functionality attached to it. In other words it just appears as a bar like one would find on a bar graph. The bar does not resemble a scroll bar (visually) nor does it operate like one. Ditto for the 3rd tab.
Do I need to attach a Dummy block with 5 records to each stacked canvas overlay scrollbar in order to have the look/feel and functionality of a scroll bar?
Thanks,
Steve
