  • In pse8 create outline of vague pattern in grayscale form?

    i have some hand painted images in color, which i import and then change to grayscale.  I want to then get an outline (thin black line) based on the perimeter of the objects (so I could then smooth the lines and then recolor the objects).  I think I did before but cannot seem recreate.  A senior moment perhaps but can this be done?  thank you.  dan

    Here is my work-flow:
    Open picture
    Duplicate background layer, work on background copy layer, shut off visibility of background layerr
    Access magic wand tool, I used tolerance=10, contiguous unchecked in the options bar. That left me with "marching ants" around  the serpentine configurations. Hit delete on keyboard
    Create new, blank layer above background copy layer
    Go to Edit>stroke. I used width=5px, position outside
    Select>deselect
    Go to Filter>brush strokes>accented  edges to refine edge width, brightness, and smoothness with the sliders.

  • How do I create a planar model pattern of a particular dimension on Photoshop CC?

    I need to create a flat 1/8" thick sheet with a particular outline that I created with Archicad.
    I was able to create dimensioned drawings in Archicad, but cannot export STL or OBJ files in my SE version.
    I subscribed to Photoshop CC with the understanding that it is capable of creating such 3D objects from scratch.
    However, I find no tutorials that would help me understand how to do this.
    I can create dimensioned PDF's of these profiles in Archicad, (in plan), but so far don't know how to submit them to be laser cut by a third party.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    According to this buying guide. The SE version is the full version. So in your menu's at the top you should see one that says 3D. If you do not see it, then something is stopping it from being visible. Verify you have the lastest graphic card driver, Your specs meet that of photoshop's requirements { http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/tech-specs.edu.html  }, The preferences are set correctly for photoshop ( Edit>Preferences>Performance>Graphics processor settings ) ( Edit>Preferences>3D>Availible VRAM for 3D)
    If any of the above is grayed out there is a possiblity of lack of video ram or a graphics card thats not compatable.
    If you do see the 3D menu, then you should be ready to go. Just use File>Open to open a .obj file. You may need to change the file type to obj or to all *.* to see the obj files. The file type drop down box is to the right of the filename text box.

  • HOW TO CREATE A REPEATING LOGO PATTERN-BACKGROUND

    In Aperture, how can I create a repeating logo pattern/background?  I will then use this pattern/background with other editing software (ps6 CC).

    What kind of repeating pattern do you want? If you just need to tile an image you could print it to pdf and save the pdf as jpeg to a folder, for example:
    Or arrange multiple copies of your image on a Light Table and print the Light Table to pdf as jpg.

  • How to create diagonal variable line pattern in CS6?

    Hi guys
    I'm on the brink of insanity with creating my diagonal line pattern. I've tried everything I can think of but the pattern is an absolute mess! I want to create a diagonal line pattern but I want the lines not to be uniform. Basically I've made a group of 3 lines and then one separate line on its own, then to repeat this as the picture below. I've used the distribute function so the distances between the lines is identical everywhere. I've then rotated the whole thing exactly 45 degrees and aligned the lines to fit the bounding box in the "make pattern" mode as shown. Yet the resulting pattern is just a mess of overlap ugliness. All I want is for the pattern to literally look as it does in the image on the left, can someone please tell me how to sucessfully do this in CS6?? Would be eternally grateful!!
    Desired pattern:               Result:

    Never create a line pattern at an angle. It's unnecessary.
    Create the pattern at 90° angles then use Object > Transform > Rotate and tick the "Transform Patterns" option and enter the angle you are after....
    Trying to get angled lines to match in a pattern can take considerable effort. Where as with this method you can create the pattern and rotate it in a matter of minutes. Let Illustrator work for you rather than against you. And, you can rotate to any angle so the pattern will function in multiple ways.

  • Object Path Outline Stroke creates jagged edges for curve

    When I outline a stroke, the nodes created along the curve are not smooth. Have these weird funky loops.
    Here is the images as just a stroke with 40 point weight. The segment showed has 3 anchor points.
    Here is the funky loops that I discussed above.
    Any idea how to smooth out the curves better and avoid this issue? Trying to build a font in Illustrator before I transfer to Fontographer but this is problematic for all my curves.

    Thanks for taking a look guys. I've attached additional screenshots.
    Here are the anchor points. The nodes and handles all snap to a 10pt grid (sorry about the bounding box, but you can still see the anchor handles in there).
    These are my brush definition settings.
    I did create the curves using pen tool, then applied the brush definition to the path.

  • How to create outline from perfstat.stats$SQL_PLAN table

    How do I create outline (Plan stability in 10gR2database) from perfstat.stats$SQL_PLAN table?
    Current V$SQL_PLAN does not contain good but but week older snapshots have good plan.
    I can't modify query, it's vendor query so I need to create outline/plan stability.
    Thanks for help.

    Thanks for reply.
    I'm not saying I find it out doc but here is situation.
    I have query which change execution plan week ago.
    I have perfstat enable and I found out good execution plan from perfstat.stat$SQL_PLAN view.
    If it's our query I can modify query and able to get good execution plan but it's vendor supplied query (which is Oracle - it used to be Portal now Oracle acquired it) so I can't modified it.
    All I'm trying to do is how do I generate good plan and assigned to vendor query's hash_value/sql_id.If DBMS_ADVANCED_REWRITE is not an option for you and you want to use an outline, there is one significant problem. The Statspack captured data does not include quite enough information, in particular the OTHER_XML column, and the access predicates. So, what can you do? Note that this script is from page 214 of the book that I co-authored. Let's say you execute this SQL statement:
    SQL> SELECT
      2    SQL_ID,
      3    COUNT(DISTINCT PLAN_HASH_VALUE) C
      4  FROM
      5    PERFSTAT.STATS$SQL_PLAN_USAGE
      6  GROUP BY
      7    SQL_ID
      8  HAVING
      9    COUNT(DISTINCT PLAN_HASH_VALUE)>1;
    SQL_ID         C
    0fr8zhn4ymu3v  2

    4b57myt9mpz37  3
    52tr7ay85qwn0  5
    …Interesting, SQL_ID has 2 different execution plans, let's take a look at the execution plans:
    SQL> SET LINESIZE 150
    SQL> SET PAGESIZE 10000
    SQL> SPOOL StatspackPlan.txt
    SQL> SELECT /*+ ORDERED */

    --------------------------------------------------As can be seen by the above, in one case the I_OBJ# index was used, and in another case the I_OPQTYPE1 index was used. Let's assume that I_OPQTYPE1 is the most efficient access path, so a hint like this needs to be inserted (assuming that the table does not have an alias in the SQL statement:
    /*+ INDEX(OPQTYPE$ I_OPQTYPE1) */Now what (obviously, we would not want to actually fix the above plan for an internal SQL statement)? Take a look at the following, which shows how to build a private outline for the unhinted version of the SQL statement, an outline for a hinted version, and then swap the resulting outlines, followed by building a public outline from the hacked outline:

  • Create outlines creates an unwanted copy. How do I change it?

    Hi all,
    I am aware of the option of creating a copy of the text when converting it to outlines while holding down the Alt key in PC (option key in Mac). However, once done, I can't reverse it and have a simple create outlines without the copy, resulting in a an unwanted original text frame in the back. How do I get rid of it? I didn't find anything in the preferences, nor in the help center. Doing it again with the Alt key pressed didn't change it either.
    Help anyone?
    Thanks,
    Tami

    No, this bug/limitation has been there in the ME version since day 1.
    Winsoft seems in no hurry to fix it. I wrote this script to simplify the
    outline/delete process...
    HTH
    try{
    if(app.selection[0].constructor.name=="TextFrame"){myFrame =
    app.selection}
    else{myFrame = app.selection[0].parentTextFrames}
    for(i=myFrame.length-1;i>=0;i--){
    myFrame[i].createOutlines();
    myFrame[i].remove();
    catch(e){}

  • How many DNS record need to create in Internal & external DNS server for exchange?

    Hi friends,
    I recently installed Exchange Server 2010 in my organization for testing purpose and I've register a pubic ip too for exchange server on godaddy.com. How many
    internal & External DNS records reqired to configure on external & Internal dns server so my all feature like Auto-discover, Activ -sync,& webmail start working perfectly.
    It's my first time configuring exchange for a organization.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Pradeep Chaugule

    Hi,
    Just as what ManU Philip said, you need to create
    Autodiscovery.domaincom and mail.domain.com for external dns server.
    Generally, you configure your Exchange Servers as DNS clients of your internal DNS server.

  • How to block set of vendors for creating PO but allowing them to create RFQ

    Dear Experts,
    I want to block the set of vendors created by GS01 for creating Purchase order but allowing them for creating RFQ. I tried using XK05 but its blocked even vendor for creating RFQ. So is there any way to do so in my business practise ?
    I already tried several way but no one is fullfilling my requirement. So i need all you experts valuable input on this.
    Regards
    Arun

    Hi Aleksey Tkachenko,

    Can you tell me how to handle this scenario using any of the method?

  • How do I create an email list sign up form for my iWeb website?

    Well that's the question - how do I create an email list sign up form for my iWeb website?
    Could someone tell me what's the simplest way using iWeb to create an interactive option
    for users to enter their email address and the info be forwarded to me so I can add to an
    email list?
    It would be great if, since I'm using a Mac computer & iWeb, there was a way to have the
    submitted emails automatically added to a group in my Mac Addressbook.
    I got this MacBook Pro in Sept 2010 so I believe that's iWeb '08 I'm using.
    Anyway I'm thinking there should be a way to do this with some system involving an HTMK
    Widget and an email account.
    By the way this is for hosting through a 'real server', not MobileMe (which I plan to get later
    when I can afford it).
    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
    Mark

    Website forms require some code in a snippet and a formmail.php script on the server to process the form and send the info to the required email address. You can do all this when you switch to a "real" server.
    In the meantime you can use a form  or marketing service or, better still, an application like MailShoot which generates the form, handles the database and sends out the bulk emails.
