How do I create a transparent box with only the colored border visible

I'm trying to highlight something on a data sheet, and just need to make a simple box that outlines the content area I'm highlighting, but obviously the viewer needs to see through the box to the content.
Can't find anything on Elements for how this is done.
thanks

If you want more control you could use the Rectangle Tool and either add a stroke with layer styles or turn down the opacity
and then you can move, resize or change the color at any time.
Highlight:
1. Draw the retangle, double click on the shape layer in the layers panel to choose the color and then lower the layer opacity to taste.
    You can use the move tool to reposition the box or resize by clicking on one of the corner handles.
Stroke:
1. Draw out the rectangle.
2. In the effects panel under Layer Styles choose Visibility and Hide
    (the rectangle color will diappear)
3. Go to Layer>Layer Style>Style Settings and choose Stroke in the dialog.
   (you can choose the color and size of the stroke in the dialog)

    How can i create a new user with only read rights ?

    You are asking about a Database User I hope.
    You can look into the Oracle 8i Documentation and find various privillages listed.
    In particular, you may find:
    Chapter 27 Privileges, Roles, and Security Policies
    an intresting chapter.
    You may want to do this with the various tools included with 8i - including the
    Oracle DBA Studio - expand the Security node and you can create USERS and ROLES.
    Or use SQL*Plus. To create a
    user / password named John / Smith, you would login to SQL*Plus as System/manager (or other) and type in:
    Create user John identified by Smith;
    Grant CONNECT to John;
    Grant SELECT ANY TABLE to John;
    commit;
    There is much more you can do
    depending on your needs.
    Please read the documentation.

  • How can I create a scatter brush that preserves the color and opacity of the original selection?

    I'd like to scatter a small image randomly, like you can with scatter & size jitter. I can't think of any way to do that on this image other than make a brush out of it, but creating a brush from the image will change its color uniformly. I'd like to keep the color and opacity of the image the same, but have it scattered. I'm sure there's a way to do this, but I can't figure out how. Any ideas?

  • How do I create an input box with a cancel button that will end a loop in my script?

    I have been working on a script for my client and I am having trouble getting it to work properly. I stole most of the code from the PowerShell Tip of the Week "Creating a Custom Input Box". I also took someone's code for the Show-MessageBox function.
    I have slightly modified the original code with two parameters and an additional text box. The first field is for an e-mail address and the second is for an employee number.
    I need to know how I can get a Do Until loop to recognize when the cancel button is pushed and break the loop and effectively end the script. The work happens at the end but perhaps I need something added/modified in the InputBox function.
    I want the script to check to see if anything has been entered in the second text box. If empty it displays a message and calls the InputBox function again. Then if there is something I use elseif to check to see if it matches my RegEx (digits only). If
    it doesn't match it will loop and call the InputBox function again.
    This all works fine. The problem I am having is that I cannot cancel out of the form. I'd like the loop to continue until the second box matches my RegEx or Cancel is clicked. Clicking cancel doesn't break the loop. I need to know how I can stop the loop
    when cancel is pressed. I've seen Stack "Overflow: PowerShell Cancel Button Stop Script" but I don't think this will work in a loop.
    Any help would be awesome. As a note, I DO NOT want to use the VB Interaction stuff.

  • How do I create a transparent div with 100% opacity text?

    See my reference site in development at www.gogographics.ca/hh
    I have a transparent menu but want to have solid opaque text on it so it shows up better. What I have so far is the text taking on the opacity of the div!
    Here is the CSS I have on the div:
    .navcontainer ul ul {
        background-color: #000;
        filter:alpha(opacity=60);
        opacity:.6;
        display: none;
        position: absolute;
        left: 0;
        color: #FFF;
    Please help if you can!
    Thanks!

    This gets asked a lot. 
    Opacity effects everything inside it.  Try using a semi-transparent.png.

  • HELP How to rescue data from a HD with only the Terminal utility working

    I can no longer access the hard disk on a 2008 unibody Mac Book after an failed OS upgrade (?). Running the original OS 10.5.5 from the grey CD-ROM that came with the device and using the "Terminal" utility, I find all data in their place and within the correct structure.
    I tried to make an image of the HD or to copy the files to the external disc using the Hard Disk utility, but all attempts have produced an "operation not possible" message. Target mode will not work, as the device has no firewire connection implemented.
    How can I access the files (I know they are there, I can see them...) and e. g. copy them to an external disc or rescue them with an other method?
    PLEASE HELP ME
    Thank you, Martin
    PS Please don't tell me that experienced users will always have backups of their files: It is my wife's device and that's exactly what I have been telling her for years. Still, it's my wife... 

    Click here and choose 10.5 from the menu for usage instructions. Installing the OS on an external drive is done the same way as doing it on the internal drive, but it needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

  • Why does my bank statement open up in Quicktime Player with only the first page visible?

    This month I tried to open my bank statement as usual, and it opened in Quicktime Player.  The first page of the statement displays, but I can not scroll to the next pages.  I have tested downloading other items, and they downloaded as usual.  I don't use Quicktime, and I tried hiding it.  But each time I try to see my statement, it comes up again. 

    Hi Lynda,
    What file format is your bank statement in? Is it a PDF or in an .xls/.csv file format? It sounds like the program-to-file association has gotten messed up on the file. If you right-click (or ctrl-click) on the file then:
    - Get Info
    - Open with
    If it's a .pdf then you'll want to associate the file with Preview (or whatever PDF viewer you use). If it's a different file format you'll want to associate it with the program that you typically use for that file type.

  • Alternate hierarchy with only the Leaf nodes

    Hi,
    I have an account hierarchy with multiple levels in it. Now I want to make an alternative hierarchy with only the leaf nodes of that hierarchy with using the same nodes. Can anyone please explain the steps how to do it.

    Unless you have any special requirements it will be straight forward, get an export of all the leaf members in an action script format and execute the INSERT action on your alternate hierarchy, you can create your alternate hierarchy with only the TOP node and insert the leaf members under it, in case you have thousands of them, you can split them by introducing dummy parents, also if you wish to maintain any local properties, please have them updated accordingly.

  • Wondering how to create a text box with variables...

    Hi everyone,
    I was wondering how to create a text box, that at the beginning of the presentation, the audience fills in regarding what they think constitutes the role they have been chosen for.
    I would like that same box to then appear at the end of the presentation, with the text they typed in at the beginning, so they can reflect on what they think now, and what they thought then. I understand this is done using variables, but i'm not 100% sure.
    I hope I've worded this okay!

    This screenshot shows the properties panel, Style tab for the TEB. I relabeled it to My_TEB, used the X button  to create a user variable v_choice that will replace the generic Text_Entry_Box_1/
    This is the properties panel of a Shape, I went in Edit mode (double clicking)to make the Character section appear, where you find the X button. It opens the dialog box 'Insert Variable' and you can choose the var associated with the TEB. The Maximum Length will define how many characters will be displayed, the value of a variable has maximum 256 characters.

  • How do I create a transparent watermark for video from a white background logo in AI CC?

    If I have a .PNG logo with a white background, how do I create a transparent watermark to use in video and photo content using Illustrator CC? Whenever I import the logo, it opens a new window without a transparent background. Thank you!

    It's fairly easy if you know Ai. (Image trace is okay, but I'd recommend making your own (the right way), then use any Adobe pro video app to composite on your video, no need to export, just use the .Ai file)
    But an easier way might be to use the .png by itself if it carries an alpha channel.
    After Effects, PremierePro, and possibly AME will let you do this.
    QT7 will also allow you to do it.
    You could create a logo in Draw, then send it to Illustrator or Photoshop (it carries an alpha channel - bonus!)

    To give a sensible answer, a little more information is needed.
