How do I create this line path/fade effect?

Hi Guys,
I was just wondering- i saw this clip and am wanting to recreate it in a different colour / slightly different, but really though the styling was great.
I imagine it can't be too hard to accomplish in motion, but was unsure how to go about it.... i've made the swirl shapes in photoshop, but can't figure out the best way to 'reveal' the line (its not a simple line path really as the line changes shape/width/size)
The video is here: http://www.worshiphousemedia.net/index.cfm?hndl=details&tab=MO&id=6610
Many many thanks in advance,
Adam

this tutorial migth get you off in right direction, the drawing line one from same site is also really good.

You could also try using masks to reveal different parts of your image over time by keyframing them? the more layers you have your original images on the more versatility you have - speed of revealing can vary as well as amount etc.
hope that kinda-semi-helps : )

How do I create this special lens flare effect?

Hey all!
So I was wondering how to create a lens flare-like effect. I should mention that I already know how to make the circle lens flare effect in after effects but I'm looking for more of a colored "wash" lens flare effect.
The effect is in this video starting at 00:16 seconds, with the lady in the car and the pink/yellow hues bouncing around.
http://vimeo.com/60631128
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or at least pointing me towards a tutorial or just the name of the effect so i can find a tut.
Thanks all!

First created shape layer that is Close to the base color you want for your flair. Second add fast blur or Gaussian blur of a value that is about half the size of your shape layer. Change the blend mode to add, duplicate, increase the blurb about 50%, duplicate repeat until you get what you want. Many times when creating this kind of an artificial lens flare effect I would use many different colors in the same flare. Sometimes I will make the layers 3-D and move them around in 3-D space.
The only other really good option is to buy some stock footage of real lens flares and colorize them using color grading effects.
by the way, one color grading and creating "light" affects you should always work with 32-bit projects.

iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account. I've seen reference to the "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app. I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

Use the bezier tool to create your shapes, give the shapes an Airbrush outline. Then apply a Write On behavior to each shape. Position the shapes in the timeline so they appear sequentially. To achieve the zooming out effect, you can either scale the whole group, or convert the group to 3D and use the camera to zoom out.

I want to reset my bootcamp Windows 7 to factory setting. How would I do this without damaging or effecting my Mac data?

I want to reset my bootcamp Windows 7 to factory setting. How would I do this without damaging or effecting my Mac data?

If you want to erase the BootCamp Partition, you'd use the Bootcamp utility.
Then that part of the Mac's hard disk drive may be available for use in OS X.
{Or, if you want to install a clean Windows 7 in the same BootCamp partition
you'd use the BootCamp utility to erase/install Windows in the same location.
There is a BootCamp Support section in Apple Support online, and also there
is a fairly OK ASC discussions area specific to that purpose. }
But you may have to check to see if the partition map is correct for Mac OS X
after you've used Bootcamp utility to remove Windows and the partition map.
If you do not use the BootCamp utility to remove Windows, correctly or if a
different method to install Windows was used, you'd have to move your Mac
OS X system and applications off the computer to an external hard drive by
use of a clone utility (carbon copy cloner, or superduper, etc) then use the
OS X disk utility (from running clone, is easiest) to erase the computer's HD
and then correctly partition map and format the hard drive for Mac OS X.
At that point, the entire drive would be erased to reclaim any untouched
partitions from alternative Windows utilities that were used, or not used in
the time frame of proper opportunity.
I've had a few Macs that had been partitioned for Windows and found one
second hand MacBook to have more actual hard disk drive capacity than
the previous owner and the Mac HD info suggested on first glance. About
70% of the drive had been a Windows partition, but was invisible to OS X.
So that turned out to be a lucky find, it was like installing a larger HDD.
The wording of your question leaves a lot
of important information out of the picture.
Good luck!

How can I create a vector path boundary around an image?

I have enclosed a screenshot of an image created in Photoshop CS4 with a wacom. It shows a grey boundary stroke around the entire image which was created with edit/stroke, then color and width of stroke selected.
What I want to do is to bring this image into Illustrator CS4 and create a vector path boundary aroun d the image in the same way as the stroke boundary in Photoshop. But I dont know how to do thatx except by doing it manually with the pen tool.
Does anyone know if it is possible to create a vector path around the image in a similar way that I created the stroke line around the image in Photoshop?
I need the vector path to make a cutting line for a laser cutter, which works with vector files.
Thanks for any advice about this.

Not only should you draw the cut path deliberately with the Pen Tool, but that entire illustration should have been drawn as vector paths to begin with. In fact, if it were me, I would do that now anyway. It's nicely done, but illustrations like that are much more versatile and valuable as a vector drawings, because they are infinitely scaleable withou degradation of sharpness.
Had it been drawn as vector paths, generating the outset cut line could be semi-automated by merging a copy of all the paths and then just outsetting the resulting path.
Vector illustrations like that, consisting of just a few colored fills and strokes, can be entirely cut and assembled from sign vinyl at any scale, rather than resorting to merely printing the artwork and then cutting around it.
Edits (recoloring, reshaping) can be easily made to vector paths without degradation, because each path is a separate object.
And whenever you do need a raster image, a raster image suitable for any purpose can be exported from a vector drawing at any time. Each such rasterization is pristine, because no re-rasterization is involved.
Not meaning to preach you a sermon; it just seems so many visitors here who have only used raster imaging don't even understand the reasons why vector drawing exists. This kind of graphic begs to be created as vector paths, and is also the very kind which would be ideal for vector-drawing beginners to start with. So it's just a good case-in-point.

Creating a rate calculator [was: how do i create this?]

I want to create a rate calculator on a website with 2 input fields: calling from and calling to. Here is what i've got:
CALLING FROM table:
COUNTRY     $/MIN
Africa            0.10
Europe          0.20
Asia              0.30
CALLING TO table:
COUNTRY     $/MIN
Africa           0.20
Europe         0.30
Asia             0.50
USA             0.10
Basically to get the rate $/min the CALLING FROM selected country and the CALLING TO selected country will be added together i.e calling from africa to USA would be $0.20/min (0.10 + 0.10).
- How do i create the database for this? (in access)
- How do i then create the rate calculator in a webpage? (asp/php)???
I would really appreciate anyone who will be able to help me in this.
Thank you very much.
Natalie
[Subject line edited by moderator to indicate nature of question]

Create a database table with 3 columns
Country
ToRate
FromRate
Populate these values as appropriate.
Create two drop down menus on your page; FromRate and ToRate. Populate these with the values (Display value and rate) from the table.
Then, you could either:
1) Submit the form to a server side script that adds and displays the values
2) Use Javascript to add and display the values

How can I create a line break in pages for iPad?

On the Mac you can hold the shift key while pressing the return key to creat a line break. Only pressing the return key will creat a new paragraph of course.
On the iPad you only can creat paragraphs. Pressing the shif key does not change that.
Does anybody know how to force a linebrek on the pages app for iPad?

Tap and hold where you wish to insert the line break. Select Insert from the pop up menu, then Line break.

How do I create this table?

When I paste the buy/sell ticket (table) from this page http://www.globalfutures.com/resources/order-placement.asp into Pages, everything comes out fine except the top - the five columns and split row above Buy and Sell labels.
Any idea how I can create these five columns without adding new columns that go down the length of the ticket? Same for the top row that is split by columns (one box has "ticket #" and the other "Global Futures Exchange & Trading Company, Inc.").
I don't know how to create the type of independent columns and rows they are using.

If you're a client of Global Futures Exchange & Trading Co. Inc. (as opposed to being an employee/associate of Global Futures Exchange & Trading Co. Inc.), is there a need to copy the table?
As I read the page, the table is a ticket produced after an order is received, not a form on which to place an order.
All that's needed to place an order is what's described in the section above the table, and illustrated by the single line example:
How to Place Orders
The first thing to understand about order placement is that there is a standardized way in which to place an order. When placing an order, there are several pieces of information that need to be conveyed.
• Name
• Account Number
• Order Type (Day, Open, Option)
• Buy or Sell
• Number of Contracts
• Month
• Commodity
Here is an example:
"This is John Smith, Account 650-12345. Day Order: Buy 10 March E-Mini S&P at 1285.50"
The table appears to be an illustration of the ticket produced by the associate/employee receiving the order.
Regards,
Barry
PS: I'll skip instructrions for constructing the table, as my instructions would be essentially the same as Peter's.
I'd add a note that having the table model wouldn't particularly simplify the task of copying a similar table (and its information) from the web.

How do I create this look in illustrator....

I'm recreating some vintage art and am trying to get this spray paint look. Any suggestions on how to go about achieving this look (see photo) in illustrator?
I'm currently running CS4 (I'm on my work computer)....
[URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/23/aaaov.jpg/][IMG]http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/4 728/aaaov.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
- I've tried looking in the preset brushes, no luck!
- I've tried creating my own brush using vector spray paint, no luck!
- I've tried looking for illustrator brushes online, no luck!
This seems like a very simple effect to do, I know how to create this look in photoshop but I need this to be vector. Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks guys!

First...
There is nothing wrong with a 1-bit diffusion dither object being raster, as far as printing results is concerned. Such images date back to the days of MacPaint and Hypercard. They are same-size (historically usually 1-point) pixels, randomly distributed at varying frequencies to suggest tones (as opposed to individual printer spots being combined to build varying size halftone dots).
So if the tiny squares are vector, yes, they are scaleable. But so are 1-bit pixels. When you scale a 1-bit raster, you're scaling square pixels, which are printed as squares. So a scaled 1-bit raster image is just as "resolution independent" as a bunch of vector squares.
Second...
This effect was employed in illustrations and designs since the very beginning of desktop publishing. For example, I frequently used it in the 80s thusly:
1. Draw a vector path of any shape in FreeHand.
2. Copy it to Photoshop. Blur it. Convert to 1-bit using diffusion dither. Save it as TIFF.
3. Import into FreeHand. Stack it below the object for which it served as a glow or drop shadow.
FreeHand had the ability to apply any color to a 1-bit or grayscale raster image, and the ability to set the white pixels of a 1-bit image to transparent. Illustrator didn't gain those abilities until decades later.
So it's not oppressively tedious to use that method nowadays, even in Illustrator. (And frankly, that's the way I'd do it.)
Third...
Illustrator sorely needs to provided a diffusion dither option in its Rasterize command for 1-bit color depth (as I've been arguing for years) instead of its lame pattern diffusion. Then this effect could be applied easily and quickly to any object, either as a "nailed down" rasterization, or as a live effect.
However...
You can simulate a vector diffusion dither pattern that you can apply to any path by combining several Scatter Brushes and storing their combined application as a Graphic Style:
1. Draw a 1 point square.
2. Store it as a Scatter Brush. Set the Spacing and Scatter settings to Random. To constrain the pattern to one side of the path to which it is applied, set the low limit of Scatter to zero.
3. Duplicate the Scatter Brush two or more times, changing the Spacing and Scatter upper limits in each duplicate so as to make each duplicate Brush increasingly sparse. In the example shown, the first Brush is named Scatter Brush 1 and has its upper limits for Spacing and Scatter to 300. This Brush was duplicated twice, and those two values doubled each time. But of course you can use whatever settings work for the effect you want.
4. Draw a temporary path with a 1-point stroke. Apply Scatter Brush 1. Select the Stroke Appearance and duplciate it. Apply Scatter Brush 2 to it. Duplicate the Stroke Appearance again, and apply Scatter Brush 3 to it.
5. Drag the whole path and drop it into the Graphic Styles palette to define a new Graphic Style. Now you can apply the whole Appearance stack to any other path(s) with one click.
Being Brushes, the fineness of the pattern can be adjusted by changing the weight of the strokes:
And, of course, you can apply other effects to the Brushes and strokes involved. For example, set the Colorization Mode of the Brushes to be able to change the color of the dither pattern; and/or apply Transform Effect to offset the pattern from the object to which it is applied (as for dithered drop shadows).

How do you create THIS "grid" in Oracle Forms

Hi,
I am new to Forms. I have to develop a grid very similar to the one shown here.
How can you create the grid in the bottom??
I can't see using any of the standard Oracle toolbox items (like multi-record blocks) for this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
User 122...

Hi Soofi,
Appreciate your quick response.
In the image, can you see a huge grid?
Grid column headings are days of the week, Mon, Tue, Wed etc.
Grid Rows also have names, like Room, Status and Rm. Type.
Cells have various values in various colors (red, blue, green etc) and signs like ">>".
Can you see that??
My question is, how to create a grid like this in Oracle Forms??? We cannot do it using a multi record block.
So, how have they done it??? The form in the image is an actual Oracle Form from a hotel reservation system.
