How do I get this soft light effect on my photos?

What is this effect called? I'd like to do some research into it so I can master the technique but I don't know where to start looking.
Here are some examples:

xecured,
I am a big fan of using this style of in my own work when I'm looking for a vintage style.
For a quick and dirty edit you can:
boost contrast
add in a white fill layer at 10-20% opacity
add in some grain
So you can go from this:
To this:
If you are interested, here is a link to the PSD so you can play around with the layers and see how I made this effect: http://adobe.ly/1bSecQO

WHAT iS THIS EFFECT CALLED? OR HOW CAN I GET THIS EFFECT?

WHAT'S THIS EFFECT CALLED? OR HOW CAN I GET THIS EFFECT?
first of all i don't know what's this kind of photo effect called, i just describe it as bright, clean and w/o lack of contrasts
secondly, i wanna learn how to achieve this effect.....really don't know how
need help here....
btw i don't know where to post this post....so i just start from here =)\

For my part you are welcome, Lisa.
then what about the color tone here? it's very pure and clean, a touch of blue i think, is it from the nature light or from photoshop effect?
The colour tone is (hopefully) a result of the nature of the natural light faithfully reproduced by the high quality of the camera (and film if relevant).
You will get quite different and sometimes rapidly changing tones of colour depending on the natural light; this is different for different times of day, different directions, different weather conditions.
Just to mention a few comparisons, the warm light from the setting sun is quite different from the cool light from the clear bright sky through a (high) window to the north at noon, and the light of the sun can be changed immensely by the huge white (or grey) filter sometimes applied to (parts of) the sky.
You may do many things in Photoshop, but photography is still an art form, not just cheating, at least for some.
I believe one of the real provings of cameras/films is the ability to reproduce the delicate but profoundly different tinges in snow on a clear day.

How do i get this effect in the video 0:7 - 0:8 That the lines come together and build a logo? pls help me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfU8bZDKAMQ&list=HL1352499622&feature=mh_lolz

This looks like the final logo was created with several layers probably in Illustrator, then the file was most likely imported into After Effects and revealed by animating mask paths.

I have LR 4 and now I cannot open the software because I get this warning: "light room cannot start because it cannot create files in the temp file location. C:\windows\temp\". I think I need to have LR open in a different place but I have no idea how to do that. Any help is most appreciated.

Thank you for your prompt reply. Unfortunately I am not that tech oriented and
cannot easily find that folder. I did notice when I was booting up the LR software
that I could accept the site where LR usually is set up or choose a place. I am
thinking that the standard location for LR software is corrupted and that if I
chose a different place it would work. I say this because whether I use my
original disc or download from adobe I get the same warning. I have 100GB of
memory on the hard drive and I have cleaned the computer with Mcaffee and free
software. What should I do next? I can't use this software and I doubt LR 5
would open up with my current problem.

Hi!
I have a series of QuickTime files that I am trying to
present in a nice
interface. I know how I can create this effect in Flash- but
given the
number of .movs I have, I am thinking of sticking to QT. The
example I have
in mind is
http://www.apple.com/aperture/quicktours/
I went through the source code and tried to replicate it by
changing some of
the values but it does not seem to work. I thought about
using frames to
ease complication but I find frames cumbersome. I am open to
suggestions but
would prefer to keep the video clips in QT versus converting
to FLV.
Thank you.
Kelvin

Hi(Bonjour)!
Welcome to the forum.
It will be difficult to compose this effect in FCE without commercial plugins like Nattress's Big Box of Tricks (G Glow dissolve).
But you can try this: create a colorized transparent document (yellow and red around the frame) in Photoshop. Save in PNG. Import into FCE.
Put it on V2, over the edit point for your video clips in V1.
Try to keyframe opacity values, animate the position with erratic displacements and add some twirling or distord effects (that can be keyframed too).
With some patience, I'm sure that you can achieve a such effect.

How to get this logo and effects in Illustrator?

Hi Guys,
I would like to design a logo that has similar effects (3D, bevel, shape, stroke, ...) effects like the "Circus Baroness" on the poster below. How do I get this in Illustrator?
Many thanks!
Bob

It can be done. The basic warped shapes of the text can easily be done in Illustrator with Envelope Distort.
1.) Type out "BARONESS" in a circus-like font. Then draw a rectangle that is a bit larger than that. Use the Anchor Point Tool to pull in the top and bottom of the rectangle a bit to form a concave shape. Align the "BARONESS" text and the concave rectangle shape so they are centered vertically and horizontally, the shape should be overlapping the text. With both items selected, go to Object > Envelope Distort > Make With Top Object. That will warp the text to the rectangle shape. You can release the text from this shape at any time by going back under Envelope Distort and choosing Release. Or you can choose Object > Expand to make the warp permanent.
2.) For the "CIRCUS" part, draw a rectangle approximately the length of the "BARONESS" text. Type out the "CIRCUS" text and center it over top of the rectangle. Draw two stars with the Star Tool and position them to the left and right of "CIRCUS". Select all of these and group them. Then go under Object > Envelope Distort > Make With Warp > and choose "Arc". You can adjust the Arc settings to your liking. Similarly, you can choose Object > Expand to make these permanent.
From there, you would just need to play around with the Appearance Panel to add a stroke and fill color, and play with the Shadow & Glow effects to approximate a beveled look. I would look up some tutorials on how to achieve a beveled look using the Appearance Panel. It's kind of like equivalent of Layer Styles in Photoshop, but it also functions a little differently. Some effects you could do more easily in Photoshop take a few more steps in Illustrator.

The sound effects icon is staying on the screen. How do I get this to go away

The sound effects icon is staying on my ipad. How do I get this to go away?
Thanks for the help.
Have A blessed and Wonderful Day!!!!!!!

If the sound icon is stuck on the screen, then the pad thinks you are pressing the volume rocker on the side of the pad. Do you have a case or something that might be touching that rocker?
Some have reported that they have put a small dent in the pad body that presses the switch. If so, you need to somehow indent it.
Try a reboot. Press and hold both the home and sleep button until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.

In "add a field" the word Date is not high lighted and I can't add anything to it. How do I get this to open?

I have an iMac desktop and I can't get the word "Date" to open in my iCal. It is not highlighted. How do I get this to open?

An event can only have one date. There is already a date field. Why do you want another date field, perhaps we can find another way?

How can I get a match text effect in a Choice

How can I get a match text effect in a Choice; I mean, for instance, that if a type a "p" the first choice item that begins with a "p" should be automatically selected

Here is a pretty simple example. Keep in mind that I am coverting all comparison characters to UpperCase. If you allow LowerCase characters in you Choice items then remove the appropriate Character.toUpperCase() calls.
Hope this helps
Mike
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class TestApplet extends Applet implements KeyListener {
 private Choice choice;

 setLayout(new FlowLayout());
 choice = new Choice();
 choice.add("Aaron");
 choice.add("Adam");
 choice.add("David");
 choice.add("Mike");
 choice.addKeyListener(this);
 add(choice);
 public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
 int current = choice.getSelectedIndex();
 int x = 0;
 char c = Character.toUpperCase(e.getKeyChar());
 while(x<choice.getItemCount()) {
 if(c == Character.toUpperCase(choice.getItem(x).charAt(0))) {
 current = x;
 break;
 x++;
 choice.select(current);

How Do I Get This Guitar Sound

How do I get this guitar sound? What effects is he using? Can I get it with Garage Bands sounds??

I'm no guitar expert my any means, but I'm pretty sure that's some sort of reverb pedal, along with using a whammy bar or bending the strings. Just add the reverb pedal to your amp set up, or adjust the reverb setting on the amp.

How do I get this look using Aperture 3

Any idea how I can get this look (contrast, colors …) using Apple Aperture? http://www.moniekaansorgh.nl/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/20120615_Jorieke_Christi aan_039.jpg

Hi Kris,
Don't worry. Your English is better than my Dutch!
You might want to look at taking some of the tutorials on Aperture offered at Lynda.com. You can sign up for a month and take as much training as you want to brush up on your skills.
However, for now, you can reduce the colour in you rimages by reducing the saturation level. If, however, you are happy with the flesh tones, but find the other colours too bright, us ethe Vibrancy slider to reduce all colours but the flesh tones. Try playing with the mid-contrast slider to see if that works for you. You can also try adjusting the black point to see if that makes a difference.
The good news is that Aperture is non-destructive in its editing, so you can go crazy trying all the adjustment settings to see what effect they have on your image without worrying about destroying your original photo.
So I would encourage you to try experimenting with the various adjustment options to learn what they do and by all means take somne training in the use of Aperture or buy a good book on the subject.
Have fun!
Cheers,
Bob

How can I get my keyboard lights to come on?

How can I get my keyboard lights to come on? When I press the button to turn them up higher, I get a sign meaning I cannot do that. Any help?

MegoStello,
There are a few situations when you won't see the keyboard light up as much as you might. If you're in a bright place or outside, the keyboard backlight won't come on. If you're on battery, your MBP may reduce power consumption by cutting off your backlit keyboard.
On the other hand, you'll nearly always see the backlit keyboard if you're plugged in. In short, your MBP tries to manage your power usage according to your needs.
MegoStello, if you found this info moderately useful, let me know in this thread. That's how I know if my info is what you need!

HT1688 I used a MC $50 Giftcard for the iTunes one day. It was supposed to update the games, and other apps on my phone. Only, it wouldn't go through, the credit card was declined. Still, I was charged 4 times. How do I get this back??

To Whom It May Concern:
I bought a Mastercard Giftcard for $50 the other day. It was only because the games needed updating before I could play them again, and my card on file had expired.
I kept getting a message stating the the card was declined. Also, it kept telling me to try to put in another card, or different form of payment.
I tried several times to get the MC to go through, and it didn't. It was not even showing that the card info even updated!
When I went to check the amount of the giftcard, there were 4 pending charges of $10.89 on it.
How do I get this money back? Please let me know as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Queenie from Texas
