  • How do I create a calendar like I did with the Appleworks Assistant?

    How do I create a calendar like I do with the Appleworks Assistant under Starting Points? I don't see any calendar templates in Pages.

    Pages doesn't have any such features. Pages do lack a lot that AW has. Nor can Number do it.
    Go to iworkcommunity.com and search for a calendar template.

  • How do I create an image like this?

    Completely new to PS. How would I create an image like this with text? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151570901245020&set=pb.50687255019.-2207520000.1 366989903.&type=3&theater
    A link to a tutorial would be helpful.
    Thanks!

    Hi there,
    Are you referring to the text, the color effect, or both?
    Adding type is very easy - just grab the Type Tool from the tool bar. The article linked above provides some great tips for editing type in Photoshop.
    As is the case with many "how to's" for Photoshop, there are several ways to acheive the colorized effect like the one applied to image you linked to. One method is to use Adjustment Layers, which I have outlined below.
    1. With your image layer active (it will be highlighted in blue in your Layers panel, as shown below), create a selection of the area you'd like to colorize. I'm using the Polygonal Lasso Tool to create a diagonal selection - to do so, I held down the Shift key on my keyboard as a created my diagonal lines. This might take a bit of practice, but you'll get the hang of it quickly.
    2. Then, in your Adjustments panel (if you don't see it, go to Window > Adjustments), click on the Curves adjustment layer, as highlighted below. Now you can play around with the curves to get the effect you'd like. (Here's a quick guide on using the Curve tool)
    3. To select the other areas of your image, command (Mac) / control (PC) click on the adjustment layer thumbnail (highlighted below). Then, go to Select > Inverse.
    4. Now we want to deselect part of our selection. Grab the Quick Selection Tool from the toolbar and set it to Subract from selection. Then, simply drag the selection brush over the area you want to deselect. In my case, I only want to have the upper-left corner of my image selected.
    5. After you have your selection, click on the image layer and add a Curves adjustment layer like before.
    6. Repeat steps 3-5 for the other corner of your image and you should end up with something like this:
    The nice thing about using adjustment layers is that you can always change them - just double click on the Adjustment layer thumbnail (highlighted in step 3).
    Alternatively, you can select areas of your image and fill the selections with flat colors on separate layers. You can then go in a change the Blend Mode and Opacity for each layer.
    Feel free to reply with any questions!

  • How can I create a drawing like the one pictured from a photo?

    How can I create a drawing like the one pictured from a photo?

    OK, you are getting closer. Now, use your result, and place a Layer above that. Use the Pen Tool to create the "pen strokes" basically tracing over your background image. Then, when you have created each Path (or Sub-Path), choose Stroke Path, with probably the Pencil Tool and a Brush size that is small enough.
    Not sure which versions of PS these are good for, but here are some plug-ins, that might be helpful.

  • How can i create a Laptop like the ones use in SAP TecEd?

    How can i create a Laptop like the ones use in SAP TecEd hands on labs? with all the NW products install on it.

    Hi,
    Vague question, but to create a laptop with the solution installed - you need to order the solution and and then install it on the laptop. Or download trial versions from SCN and install those as well.

  • How can i create a website like this?

    Hello Adobe Community
    I've had this idea in my head for a while, but i cannot think of how to create it.
    I think of creating a website with a very nice layout where you can purchase and submit your own ebooks to sell, and they need to be approved by an admin before it shows up on the website.
    I have been thinking about this for some time but i don't have a clue on how to create a website like this and it must take a very long time.http://puu.sh/5Ki7Q.png
    My idea: You can hover over the ebooks to get more information about them, you can see star rating and feedbacks / comments under the ebooks.
    I need help with getting started on the right track, i don't know very much about Dreamweaver, but i am starting to get good at it. I know HTML and a little CSS.
    I would really appreciate any help i can get.

    Unless you have very strong coding skills with PHP & MySql,  I think you could do most of this with  WordPress and  WordPress plugins for e-commerce, star ratings, lightbox viewer, reviews, etc...

  • How can I create a textbox-like field?

    I am writing a After Effect Plug-in.
    I want to create a textbox-like for user, when click om plugin in after effect cs4 popup textbox
    So, if there is any example to create that UI for me?
    Thanks a lot.

    i'll try to give you a wider picture.
    AE has no "text" parameter you can add to a plug-in.
    you have to either create on using a custon UI, or open a window and use an OS control to allow the user to enter text.
    if you're just beginning developing you should probably avoid custom UI. it's a pain.
    the simples way to trigger an OS window is using javascript.
    yes, just as you would in a regular AE javascript.
    there are a few scripts that ship with AE that show how to open a window and even get text input.
    the link i added to the previous post show EXACTLY how to implement java from within an effect.
    all you have to do is change the java script to one you need.
    copy/paste. the rest is ready to use as it is in that link.
    how do you know when to launch that window?
    there are a few ways to tell.
    the most versatile would be a custom UI, but as i said, it's not easy to do.
    the second method would be to use "param supervision".
    it will tell you when the user clicked on a specific param, so you can launch the window.
    relatively simple to pull off.
    look at the "supervisor" sample to see how it's implemented.
    the third method is the simplest, and i would recommend it for a beginner.
    as many effects that require some window to open do, you can use the "options" button to launch the window.
    you can even change the name of that button using PF_SetOptionsButtonName().
    look at the "checkout" sample.
    it has it all.
    it changes the name of the "options" to "whatever i want!".
    it even has a function called PopDialog() that... pops up a message window when clicking on the options button.
    all you'll need to do, is replace the content of the PopDialog() function with your window code.
    that should get you up and running.

  • How can you create subtitles just like in movies?

    Hi, I recently purchased Final Cut Pro X and I was wondering how to create subtitles just like in movies. Thanks

    Does FCP X support subtitles like you see in Blu-ray or DVD?  I.e. subtitles for the narrative?
    I know you can put titles but subtitles would be something that needs to keep "changing".

  • How would I create old, glitchy like effects like these ones?

    Recently, there have been some teasers coming out on Snap-chat for an upcoming video game that feature some creepy, hypnotic, and cool effects. They can be found here:
    Black Ops 2 has been updated with viral marketing for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 - UPDATE 12 | Charlie INTEL
    And I was wondering if there were any experts on here who would know how to recreate these things in premiere. For instance that overlay over the video, those lines over the video, that make it look almost like its a CRT TV screen being externally filmed. Or the static etc.
    If anyone could link me to other assets that I can use to just mess up video and make it look, I don't know, any type of visual artifacting or 80s/90s video tropes/effects, or even earlier. I'm open to anything. I'm attempting to make this film into a very similar style as those quick teasers.
    Also I do understand that I am limiting things here by making this a premiere thing. But I am a completely lost child trying to land on the moon when it comes to After Effects, so keep this premiere please. I do understand this kind of limits this stuff to mostly overlays or presets or other things that are for the most part already created. But im open to anything.
    Thanks and I hope you guys have some good ideas.

    to further encourage your creativity:
    you can also export screenshots of your video and manipulate them, then reimport them and play with blending modes and/or mattes...
    Did you know that you can manipulate and distort image files by opening them in a text or audio editor?
    (for the latter you may have to change the file extension to .txt or another text format... then back to .tiff or jpg)
    Here's some ideas:

  • How do I create a movie like this one?

    I have OS X 10.6.1. I'd like to create a QuickTime movie like this http://www.happytapper.com/appsmovie.html and embed it into a webpage the same way. Here are a few questions I have about doing that:
    - Do I need Quicktime Pro? I only want to capture the iPhone simulator and the free version seems to be limited to full screen capture.
    - How do you get a completely black background like that?
    - How do you remove the mouse arrow out of the movie (all the clicking around)? The simulator will definitely show that.
    - Should I cross post this question to the developer forum?

    Make scatter brush out of a row of circles
    Apply to a curved path
    expand appearance

  • How do I create an e-mail graphic poster that can be sent out?

    I need to create an e-mail poster advertisement for a
    recreation area that
    will be sent out to shareholders. I need to do this for work.
    Does anyone
    have any suggestions on how I would do this? Would I create
    the web page and
    then send the web page in an e-mail. I need it to show up
    directly, not
    through an attachment. Also, once created, this will be sent
    out to
    shareholders. How do I save this file to disk in what format
    so that it can
    be sent out by my boss. I am doing this as an
    extra-curricular activity for
    work. Any suggestions would be helpful.
    Thanks

    You can open the web page in a browser, select all, copy and
    paste into Outlook. That works. i don't know about other email
    progs.

  • How can i create a background like this?

    I know how to make it, just very much copies of the object, place them n the right way and tadaa.
    But is it possible without that much work? Like a preset or After effects/photoshop etc.
    Here's an example:

    Try Replicate.
    You will find it under Stylize in the Effects panel.
