How do I auto trace something especific..

I don't want to live trace the whole image.... just the part of it, like using a magic wand tool and getting the outlines vectorized
I've heard you can do that with photoshop, that would help too if it cannot be done in illustrator...
or when you live trace something colored. the palette is automatic always, can i choose what colours i want them to vectorize?
look this page
http://vectormagic.com/home
it really traces the vectors (how I want them to be) well... I know you can do that with live trace.. but I really dodn't know how
(Yes, I know how to use pen tool, i just want something more faster)
Thanks in advance.

Live trace is explained in the manual and you could also search for tutorials and stuff online. Perhaps this video session: https://my.adobeconnect.com/_a295153/p1omxr9zdv0/
Lol I know that live trace always traces the whole image.... that's what I'm asking.. anyway you gave me a great idea... I could trace it and delete the ones I don't like in that layer, panel the problem is that trace is not always perfect for example when I change 1 setting a brush might be ok but another part of the image wasn't traced quite well, then i change settings, and when the other part fixes the first part get messed up...
I really want to choose the colors because the image i want to trace is too colorful, (It's actually a cartoon), But for example hmm when I put the quantity of colors too low the Live trace doesn't give the colors of the image, and when i put it kinda high, it starts tracing hmm #000000 with #001020 (This is just an example), but the thing is that some parts of the image that visually have more contrast, don't get vectorized! omg lol
The link that I gave previously (is like a raster to SVG online page) Don't have that kind of problems, thats really weird, well.. and the thing is that you can choose color palette, TL;DR:Live trace don't get the colors as they should be... is there anyway you can change that "automatic" palette?

How to customize Auto-trace selection over multiple frames?

Hi all,
I'm working on an After Effects CS5 project that involves a lot of compositing and my material is all in high-contrast black and white. I'm looking for a way to mask individual parts of a particular clip: e.g. I have a 10 second clip with two people standing in it, one on the right and one on the left. I'd like to isolate the person on the right and hide everything else, including the background and person on the left.
I used Auto-trace to quickly find the outlines of my image and it works great since my picture is such high-contrast. Only thing is, I'm not sure how to remove the person on the left from the auto-trace selection.
I have "work area" selected in my Auto-trace options, which is amazing as it makes the Auto-trace selection span over my entire 10 second clip (as opposed to me needing to apply it frame-by-frame), but now the problem lies in removing person on the left from the entire 10 second clip. I went to the beginning of the new layer (I have the "Apply to new layer" box checked in my Auto-trace options), used the "Delete Vertex Tool" (the pen tool with a minus sign on it), and removed the selection of the person on the left, but the selection exists in all the frames following it (i.e. 9 seconds and 29 frames), and only gets removed from the particular frame I was working on.
Is there any way to get AE to remove the selection over the span of the clip as opposed to only the individual frame I'm working on?
BTW, I'm not married to this method. If anyone has a better method I could use, I'm all ears, although I would like to see this through if possible.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks
Mike

Thanks for the tips. I checked out the super tight junk matte tutorial, and this works well for green screened content but the issue I have is that my image is completely duotone - i.e. I only have black and white in the image. See here for an example:
http://mysite.verizon.net/vze15wlb3/IOBG012.jpg
So my challenge is trying to get certain portions of the image excluded, and I'm having a hard time doing this using rotobrush. In this case, I want to exclude the face on the left while auto-tracing or somehow rotobrushing the face on the right. Any other suggestions? I was hoping for an easier way short of applying tons of junk mattes and precomping.

How do you auto-populate a field?

Hello.
If I present the user with a LOV's on an 'Insert Form', how do I auto-poulate a value in the same form based on what the user has just selected?
e.g.
User selects 'Employee Number' from a LOV, I then want to auto-populate the 'Employee Name' underneath.
I thought a simple sql query would get me the EMP_FULL_NAME FROM EMPLOYEES where EMPNO = (whatever EMPNO user has just selected).
TIA.

Hi Tia,
You are right you should just be able to use a query as the source of your page item for name. I will base my description below on page 1 and using APEX 4.
First of all you will need to set your :P1_USER_ID select list to submit the page so the value is set in session state, if you navigate to the settings section and then set Page Action when Value Changed to submit page.
You will then need to have a query as the source of :P1_NAME and a query something like
SELECT
    name
FROM
    users
WHERE
    user_id = :P1_USER_ID;One thing to not you will need to make sure you on submit processes are conditional based on a button else they will run when the user_id select lists is changed.
An alternative method to submitting the page would be to use a dynamic action providing your using APEX 4. The dynamic action could be fired when the value of :P1_USER_ID is changed and then update the value :P1_NAME dynamically.
Hope this helps
Paul

Adobe Illustrator CS4 Auto Trace

Can anyone help guide me to where this tool might be a maybe a quick overview/tutorial on how it works or an external tutorial?

Auto-trace mask order?

Hey all,
I'm using auto-trace to perform a stroke by stroke reveal of scanned hand-written text. The problem is the auto-trace feature places the masks in a fairly random order, as opposed to left-right or top-down. It means I need to manually reorder the masks to get the effect working as a write-on reveal. I'd normally just trace the scan with a mask and do it the old-fashioned way but there's some shape wiggle effects I need to place over the text in this case, so the masks have to stay. Any way to make the process a little easier in terms of the auto-generated mask ordering?
Cheers

It's inherent in how this simplistic tracing algorithm works. The order of the detected regions is completely arbritray, hence is the mask order. Short of using Illustrator's Image trace quite selectively on a letter-by-letter basis, I see no way to get a more orderly initial result.

How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Pref.] - [Display] - [Arrangement]

Does anyone know How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Preferences] -> [Display] -> [Arrangement]?
It always want to align the two screens from the top when they are lined up close together and I need them to be aligned from the bottom. Since the resolution heights are so close together (1080 & 1050) it does not allow one to align side by side from the bottom as it prioritizes top alignment.
I guess I'm looking for a script to disable this feature.

Anyone got any ideas?

I have installed a trial of Adobe illustrator on my macbook pro. I want to trace an image using the custom trace button but can't. Does anyone have any ideas how I could custom trace?

I have installed a trial of Adobe illustrator on my macbook pro. It is the 2014 release of adobe illustrator. I want to trace an image using the custom trace button.
I start a new document. Then I place my scanned pencil/colored pencil drawing, in to the document. I have tried scanning and then placing it as a jpeg, bitmap, and tiff file. I have tried scanning and then placing it, in color and in black and white. The scan mode I use is flatbed. Adobe illustrator allows me to select the default button and one of eleven preset buttons (e.g high fidelity photo), but it does not allow me to click the custom trace button. The custom trace button is grey while all the other buttons are white.
Does anyone have any ideas how I could custom trace?

It seems pointless to adjust it afterwards because it is then only a couple a pencil lines rather then a full drawing. And how do I adjust it afterwards? Would I do this using the different buttons under the window button?

Can no longer find or use Auto Trace in Illustrator CS11

My system was recently "upgraded" to Windows 7. Now I can no longer find the Auto Trace option in Illustrator CS 11. I see it in the preferences but cannot access it through a menu. I see "expand" but it's gray and not available. Any suggestions?

screen-naim,
You should have Auto Trace in CS, also known as 11. It was replaced by Live Trace in CS2.
I believe it is bundled with the Blend Tool in the Toolbox (ClickHold to see it fly out).

How do you auto tone a group of photos. I selected them all and tried to auto tone but it keeps doing only one

How do you auto tone a group of photos. I tried command a to select all and then auto tone but it only did one Photo. I troes several times and yes all photos were selected

In Develop you can highlight a group of thumbnails in the filmstrip, then right-click and choose Develop Settings -> Auto Tone
In Library you can highlight a group of thumbnails in the Grid and click the Auto Tone button in the Quick Develop area.
What you can’t do is click the Auto button in Develop and have it do more than one photo—this is by design, except, maybe if you have Auto Sync enabled.

How to get auto generated column in spring jdbc

Hi guys ,
I am using springJDBC and sybase db.
I think what i am facing is a standard problem but whatever support i am getting from google is not working.
My problem is :
"While inserting values in database one colum is autogenerated .....how do i get the value of that column??"
FYI,
I have tried using the following code :
"final String INSERT_SQL = "insert into my_test (name) values(?)";
final String name = "Rob";
KeyHolder keyHolder = new GeneratedKeyHolder();
jdbcTemplate.update(
new PreparedStatementCreator() {
public PreparedStatement createPreparedStatement(Connection connection) throws SQLException {
PreparedStatement ps =
connection.prepareStatement(INSERT_SQL, new String[] {"id"});
ps.setString(1, name);
return ps;
keyHolder);
// keyHolder.getKey() now contains the generated key"
but i am getting this error : "java.lang.AbstractMethodError: com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybConnection.prepareStatement(Ljava/lang/String;I)Ljava/sql/PreparedStatement"
I think this code works well with Oracle but not with sybase .........does anyone know the solution of this problem .......and by "this problem" i mean how to retrieve auto generate value in spring jdbc ...........without using SimpleJdbcInsert class

Looking at the previous post it doesn't look like a Spring issue.
You are using a JDBC driver which does not support getting generated keys so you have 2 choices:
- Use a different driver that supports generated keys
- Get the generated key by issuing some vendor specific SQL e.g. 'select @@identity' for SQL server
