HOW DO I MAKE A BLENDING OPTION ITS OWN LAYER?

I have an inner shadow on a picture. What I would like to do is take that inner shadow and make it its own layer so i can use the same shadow to put over different pictures on a website.
Thank you for your time.

If editability is a concern, then might as well leave it alone. There is no reason why the style can not be copied to another document or layer. Alt-dragging works wonders in these cases.
Something else the OP can try is take the original layer, convert to a smart object then appy a layer style to it. You can then replace the image inside of the smart object with any other image (preferably the same width and height) then save to web.
Because you can save a layer style, it is just as simple to create an action that will apply that style to the current layer, and run that action as part of a batch or image processor script, which would then apply that layerstyle to an entire folder of images.
Do a test on the action as I did not test it other than to verify that an action can apply a style.
There is always more than one way to skin a cat.

I think it's QuickTime player causing the problem, when I try to open it I get the windows error that an error has occured
Let's try swapping out your QuickTime again, taking a few extra explicit precautions this time.
Head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
7. Restart your computer.
Now download and save a copy of the latest standalone QuickTime installer to your hard drive. (We'll run the install from there rather than online.)
Latest Quicktime Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention iTunes
Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install. Start the install by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe.
If that install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching iTunes again. Does your iTunes launch properly now?
(If you get an error message on the QuickTime uninstall or standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. Include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

How to move an object that is in many layers in to its own layer?

Hello,
I created a catalog where I have used layers but at that time didn't know that I will be creating another catalog of the same products for our wholesalers. Anyway, now I have an object (QR Code) that is in many layers and I need to move it to its own layer where I can turn it on or off as needed. I have already created the layer but now I am not sure the quickest way to move the (QR code). I really need to learn how to use GREP in find and change, I sure it is possible with GREP but don't know the string to use.
I would appreciate any kind of help I can get.
Thanks,
Omar

Am I crazy, or is there a "Paste Remembers Layers" checkbox hidden somewhere in the preferences? Because when I have a bunch of objects that are all on separate layers, I simply Copy, Delete, and Paste in Place - and then they're all on one layer.
I'm not crazy! It's in the options on the Layers panel. And it seems to be off by default.

Hi,
I assume that in KM each category has its own folder.
If so then, create XML Resource Renderer for each category and then assign this
XML Resource Renderer to a Layoutset and then assign this Layoutset to the Folder.
In KM to set Layoutset for folder:
Settings --> Presentation -->Select Profile

Applying multiple blending options to same layer?

How could I apply multiple layer blending options to a single layer? Currently, when I select a blending option and switch to another, it removes the previous blending option
Thanks.

You can duplicate the layer and set the top layer to the second blend mode. Or you can create an adjustment layer, and set its blending mode to the preferred second mode (this will blend a merged visible copy of the layers below back into the visible stack). It depends on what you're trying to do. In general though, blending modes are a blend of one layer's pixels into a merged visible copy of those below, so adding two modes to a layer seems to me impossible.

HOW DO I Make White Background of an Image layer transparent?

i used photoshop to open a photo with a person and background and delete the background so that now it's white with the person still fully intact.
I open the file in and lay this image layer on top of another video layer track in fcut express and hoped that the background would be gone so it would look like my person is in the movie. I saved the pic as JPEG even tried it with GIF and then selected the SCREEN option or the subract or the alpha and nothing makes it transparent .how?
fcut express 3.5.1

yes, use psd (tiff or png) format. jpg will not work.
also, make sure you delete the "background" layer in photoshop. the picture should appear then sitting on a checkerboard indicating transparency. the background layer in photoshop by itself is not transparent by default.

How do I prevent fullscreen to create its own space or how do I create a keyboard shortcut to such a fullscreen space

Hello,
In Mountain Lion, I could select from the dock icon the Options -> Assign To -> This Desktop to link back a fullscreen app to one desktop which allowed me to have a direct shortcut to my fullscreen app, e.g. ⌘3. In Mavericks this does not work and I cannot find how to disable the new space for fullscreen app nor how to create a keyboard shortcut for switch directly to that app once it's in fullscreen.
Any help would be much appreciated, I would hate to have to downgrade back to Mountain Lion.
Cheers,

The most typical solution for enterprise sites is to store their users credentials in an LDAP store such as Oracle Internet Directory (OID) or MS Active Directory. LDAP is an industry standard for extremely fast directory services over IP network infrastructure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Directory_Access_Protocol).
In turn some sites store their user credentials in databases tables. Of course databases can be configured for fast lookups too, but it is a database centric solution where LDAP is designed to work across networks and is ideal for servers as a result which live and breath on the network.
In case of Java EE applications and especially those written in ADF, the use of these services isn't written into the application, but rather the application delegates this responsibility of configuring and providing these services back to the Java EE server. So for example Edwin's post is about configuring a WLS "security provider" to lookup user's info from the database, and here is another blog I wrote for MS Active Directory a while back (http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.com.au/2008/12/configuring-wls-with-ms-active.html). The main advantage here is you don't have every application baking its own solution, rather WLS provides a standard well tested way to configure the security lookups.
In terms of writing (i.e. creating users) to the security store over reading from it, indeed you need to build your own code. Ramandeep Singh Nanda has a nice post on doing this with OID through Oracle's OPSS: http://ramannanda.blogspot.com.au/2011/09/opss-adf-security-utility.html
Finally what sites like Amazon and Facebook do aren't necessarily good examples to follow as they're application's requirements are typically far in excess of a typical enterprise site, and in turn have often written bespoke solutions to deal with their scalability and distribution requirements. I dare say LDAP is a good choice for 99% of enterprises.

How do I stop Firefox from opening its own homepage tab on top of my homepage?

Firefox keeps opening up its own website in my browser on top of my own home page even though I have reset the home page numerous times. Everytime I open firefox I have to reset my home page which works for a half-day or so and then ... we're back to the Firefox homepage. How do I keep Firefox from hijacking my browser?
P.S. I've tried all the stuff that's recommended -- resetting my homepage, etc ... and I'm just getting tired of having to do this. This is getting so irritating I'm going to stop using Firefox and start using another browser.

I am having a similar problem, I'm using "Show my home page" on start-up but firefox decides to always open to the last page visited regardless. I also generally close Firefox using the red X or with alt+f4. This problem is especially annoying when the last page 'visited' is an annoying pop-up ad that wasn't been caught by the pop-up blocker.

Troubles with the sleeper: how can I avoid it restarting on its own?

When on sleeper, my MacPro early 2008 restarts on its own after a while.
Until very recently, it worked perfectly well.

Thanks for your help.
I wonder if the the troubles I have with the sleeper and with the start button are not linked with an issue on the main disk. Apparently, I need to repair my main drive:
- the number of volume files is not valid
- the numner of volume directories is not valid.

How can I make folder View Options the default in Snow Leopard?

Hi everybody! Here I am, learning to Mac!
When I do a secondary click on an open folder's background and click on +show visualization options+ (actually, +mostrar opciones de visualización+ in spanish), there's an option +set as default+ ( +ajustes por omisión+ ) which, as far as I understood, should change all the rest folder's aspect, as icon's size, font size, background image and so on... but all the rest folder's aspect keep being shown as before, just the folder where I am working changes.
My questions are: if I am wrong with the use of that "ajustes por omisión", what is it for? And how can I personalize the aspect of all folders on my mac?
Thanks for your help

It's "show view options" in English. Also obtained by typing CMD+J
Those only apply to the top-level folder. Each folder you open uses whatever you've elected to use as the defaults. Select a folder, CMD+J, set the view as you desire, click on Use as Default button. That setting will be used for all windows that you open in the future that have never been opened previously. All other windows that you opened will retain whatever view you previously selected for them.
If you want to reset everything to one view, close all open Finder windows, launch the Terminal app (/Applications/Utilities/), copy & paste this command into the window that pops up,
find ./ -name ".DS_Store" -depth -exec rm {} \;
hit the return key, quit the Terminal app, restart, open a Finder window, CMD+J, set up the view options as desired, click the Use as Defaults button, and close the view options window. Now, every Finder window you open will have this view.

Add soundfiles (voice over) to existing project – how do I make the sound optional for the participant to listen to?

Hi! I´d like to import soundfiles to an existing project. This is what I´m trying to do: I´d like to have a symbol on each page with a clickbox on top. When (if) the participant wants to listen to the voice over, he/she can click on the symbol and the voice is activated. Right now, the sound file is activated directly when I open the slide. Can anyone give me some advise? Kind regards, Gunilla

It helps if you mention the version you are using. Because you talk about 'click box on top of a symbol' you probably use an older version. Since shapes appeared, that can be used as buttons and can be filled with any image or text, this is no longer necessary: Turn an Image into a Button - Captivate blog
In that case you'll need to replace the slide audio (you see it on the Timeline) by object audio. Audio files can be linked to any objects, and they'll start to play when the object gets visible. First approach would be by creating an audio object. This blog post offers some details: Audio Objects: Control them! - Captivate blog
Second approach: use the command 'Play Audio' triggered by the shape button (or click box). I'd recommend strongly not to use this command as a simple action, unless you are happy with the playhead advancing at the same time: Why choose Standard over Simple action? - Captivate blog Use a standard advanced action instead. If you were on Captivate 7 or 8 I would advise to use a shared action.
I hope you do have that command, think it appeared with CP6. It has the advantage that when another button is clicked that plays another audio clip, the first one will stop automatically. If you have to use an audio object, you'll have to hide the object to have the audio stopped.

How do I open a folder in its own window?

All of a sudden my folders will not open in their own windows... Has anyone have this happen? Earlier I was fine then all of a sudden it stopped.

Cevsinc,
I don't know if this is what your looking for but here you go.
To make it so that when you double click a folder it opens in a new window you have to turn off or hide the toolbar. To do so:
Open a Finder window > Select "View" from the menubar > select "Hide Toolbar"
Keyboard shortcut to do the same as above is ( Command ) ( Option ) ( T )
Now every folder you double click on will open in a new window.
It should remember that you elected to not have the Toolbar show and every time you open a new window it will be the same.
To change back Do the same except instead of "Hide Toolbar" it will say "Show Toolbar"
Hope that helps,
Weston
