How do I use Render Flames to add flames to unlit fireplace?

Hello all,
I am trying to learn how to realistically add flames to an unlit fireplace. I saw a tutorial online http://mobile.digitalartsonline.co.uk/tutorials/photoshop/use-render-flames-add-realistic- fire-in-photoshop-cc-2014/ was using Render Flames that looks to be what I am after, but I just couldn't quite follow the tutorial. I am more of a Lightroom user so using the pen tool and following the steps was a bit confusing. Is this the best method? I need a better step by step or video to help me grasp this.
Many Thanks,
J. Paul

Unfortunately, the flames are only part of the process. For a realistic result, you'll need to ad colour and glow to the insde of the fireplace, and even some light cast onto the floor in front of the fire. I pulled this image at random from Google images. See how bright the fireplace walls are? See the bright reflection of the flames on the floor? There is bright colour beneath the flames in this image, but I don't know if you are dealing with an open grate.
To do this use layers and layer masks that restrict the effect to inside the fireplace. The easiest way would be to simply paint the colour and reduce layer opacity, but it it would be better to use gradients that show how the light drops off with distance. These layers should be behind the Flame layer.
So a bit of a learning curve for a new user, but check out layers and layer masks on Adobe TV, and you'll soon be up to speed. It is also an absorbing and satisfying process, and will be the start of many years of _really_ enjoying and using Photoshop effectively, rather than just to process photographs.

How do I use a button to add "1" to a number?

I'm sure this is so simple that I'm going to be smacking my forehead when someone gives me the answer but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to do this.
I'm making a simple pdf that lists ticket prices for an event. I want the button to add one to the number of tickets ordered every time it's clicked. I need the starting value to be "0" tickets. How do I do this?

Hi,
Use a variable to strore the value. In the click event of the button increment the value. In the click event of the button, you can put the following code.
var count +=1;
Thanks,
Bibhu.

How can I use the Flame camera as a PC webcam?

Hi, I've got an old PC with Arch Linux and LXDE installed. I also own a Flame device with latest version of Firefox OS Nightly.
I don't own a webcam on my PC to use with such programs as Firefox Loop (I've installed mozilla-nightly from AUR), appear.in, Skype (brrr...) and so on.
I link my Flame on my PC but only SD card and internal memory are recognized by default. How can I recognize the camera too in order to use it with my PC?
Thank you!

Even if I'm not a coder, I don't think that the answer is an app but to work on a inner layer, in order to make this working out-of-the-box.
I need that Linux, Windows, Mac and so on recognize the Firefox OS camera when I link it to the PC, not to stream remotely, like Android does (e.g. via Droidcam, IP Webcam or IP Camera Adapter).
Am I asking something useful that will make Firefox OS a better OS than Android or am I asking something useless or unrealizable and the only way to do is to create an app or to port other listed above?
Thank you

How do I use the Flash downloader add-on on a web page?

I downloaded Firefox because I thought it included a Flash downloader automatically. I have now added what I believe to be the Flash download add-on, but I can't see how it works. I'm running Windows 7, 64 bit on a PC.

You should ask on the support site for your downloader software.
If that is RealPlayer related make sure you keep the software up-to-date, it has had issues where firefox/realplayer/flashplayer caused conflicts or crashes.
Note some FlashPlayer content will not be intended to be downloadable.

How do I use Internet accounts to add accounts to mail in mavericks

I used migration Assistant to Migrate to a new Imac(late 2013), The new machine was 10.8.4 so the very first thing I did was add an account so I could update. I suspect this was the root cause of my problem because then when I migrated the account I had to rename it
Everything worked fine except for mail. Note under library/mail I still had a 45Gb folder.
My internet accounts had a list of all the mail accounts I used to have but mail itself was empty. All the accounts are imap so I have not lost mail.
Trying things mentioned on the forum I tried deleting the accounts under internet accounts and re-adding, and I tried importing from the mail folder. Importing sort of worked but created a big mess of mail under a import folder.
Where I am right now. I deleted everything including my library/mail folder.
I go to mail. I do add acount, I add a icloud account, I select paul...me.com It adds the account.
I then can go to accounts and see my me.com address with mail ticked.
And nothing. Mail just sits their blank.
Now I can trick it it into adding one account, when everything is blank, instead of giving me the new system preferences internet accounts it gives me the old accounts from mail 10.8, I can then add 1 account under their and it will work., As soon as it has one account it then goes back to giving me the system preference internet accounts which just lets me add acounts but does not work with mail.

Yes it all works under a new user. Thank you.
At this point the simplest solution is probably to put everything else from the old user into the new one, hopefully without breaking anything else.

How do I use another computer to add music to my Iphone?

The laptop I had all my Itunes stuff in lost funtion in it's USB ports. I am trying to move my iphone over to my desktop so I can once again download MP3s to my Iphone, but I don't want to delete everything on my phone and I also can't upload a backup of my phone to my desktop, as it doesn't have enough room to hold another 10 GB of data.
So what i want is to keep everything on my phone, but be able to upload new songs from my PC

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. You'll probably have to purchase an external drive to recover the media to and free up some room for a backup, otherwise you're looking at wiping everything and starting over.

In Numbers 09, how do I use a checkbox to add sales tax to the price of an item?

What's steps are required to have my states's sales tax added to the price of items if the checkbox is checked?

More than one way to do that. Do you want the tax amount to show up separately in a Tax column, or just added into the total like magic?

How can I use my addons once they're installed? Where do I go? Is there a Firefox toolbar?

I'm on a Mac.
I installed MeasureIt and RankChecker as addons. I need to install a couple more. How do I use an addon once I have it? Do they show up in a toolbar somewhere? I don't see them in the Google toolbar for Firefox, or above the Google toolbar. Right now, all I see above the Google toolbar is the Delicious icon.
Thank you for your help.

You can check the home page for the add-ons to see how they are used, for example MeasureIt adds an icon to the status bar or toolbar - http://www.kevinfreitas.net/extensions/measureit/
If the icon is not in the toolbar, you can customize the toolbar to add it, see [[How to customize the toolbar]].
The Rank Checker, if it is [http://tools.seobook.com/firefox/rank-checker/ this add-on], adds an entry to the status bar. If the status bar is not visible, in the View menu click on "Status Bar" to display it.

Using render:pageUrl tag

Good Day,

I am using the <render:pageUrl> tag to render content in a page/portlet. Selecting a link constructed by the pageUrl tag the page renders OK but only once. I attempt to use the <render:pageUrl> several times to call the same page/portlet but the called page/portlet does not refresh with new content.

The begin() action in the called jpf (Test_Data_Page) is only called once, after the first call it is not called by subsequent calls using the other constructed URLs.

Each of the following URLs exist on a single portlet. I want to render different content based on the selected link. Help please?

a href="<render:pageUrl pageLabel="Test_Data_Page">
<render:param name="test" value="test1" /></render:pageUrl>">test 1</a>

a href="<render:pageUrl pageLabel="Test_Data_Page">
<render:param name="test" value="test2" /></render:pageUrl>">test 2</a>

a href="<render:pageUrl pageLabel="Test_Data_Page">
<render:param name="test" value="test3" /></render:pageUrl>">test 3</a>

Thank you, 
Everette

Thanks for the tips. I was using the same syntax as in the docs, but let me try
this one. Also, maximizing the portlet will not work, because even in the detailed
view, there are a couple other portlets that still need to be shown.
I also tried the syntax suggested below, but it always returns http://localhost:7001/myportal
as the url. Not sure what is going wrong.

Another thing to consider instead of switching pages is to simply maximizing
the
news portlet when someone clicks a news item link. Maximizing will a)
make your
news portlet take up all the real estate on the page, and b) stop all
the other
portlets on the page from rendering. You can use the windowUrl tag (http://edocs.bea.com/workshop/docs81/doc/en/portal/taglib/www.bea.com/servers/portal/tags/netuix/render/windowUrl.html)
to do it.
Hope that helps,

try this approach, it works for us:

Any clues?
Basically, I have a portlet that shows news items. This page has several
other
portlets also. What I need to do is - when a user clicks on any news
item, I need
to show the detailed news item. I am open to ideas on how to do this
- the key
issue is that the detailed news items need more screen space - thusother
portlets
need to be hidden. I think the best solution is to call a new pagewhich
has a
portlet to handle the detailed news. So all I should have to do iscreate
a link
to this new page, and pass it the newsId. Thus I was using the render:pageURL,
but it seems to return null.
Ideas?

How do I use the installed add-on CacheViewer?

I have downloaded and installed CacheViewer 0.7.6. It is visible in my Add-Ons Manager, but I don't know how to actually use it to view objects cached by Firefox. I finally figured out how to use the about:cache function and I think the above add-on will be helpful once I know how to use.
I'm using the latest version of Firefox on a Windows 8 PC.
Thank you… I'm learning, or relearning, that it hurts to be stupid : (

I found this;
'''''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cacheviewer-fx/?src=search CacheViewer Fx21]''''' 
'''''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cacheviewer2/?src=search CacheViewer2]''''' 
Neither have instructions, but do have support links.

Add another e-mail account to your messages, so people could reach you on that e-mail from messages. As soon as you are online (if you have wifi only iPad) you are able to send and receive messages. i.e. your son can send you a messages from his iPhone addressing it to your (that additional) e-mail address.

How to use Find Change to add FC in front of all item numbers?

Hello,
I am using Indesign CS5 on iMac, running OS 10.8.3.
I designed a product catalog that has 148 pages. Now I need to save the same design and make a new catalog for our wholesalers. On the wholesalers catalog I need to change the item numbers and add FC in front of each item number. How can I use find change to find each item and change them with FC in front of the item numbers? The following are a few examples of the item numbers:
LED-4042 I want to change it to FCLED-4042
UA-42 I want to change it to FCUA-42
SC-110 change it to FCSC-110
KN-10 change it to FCKN-10
etc....
I am hoping there is a fast way to find and change these. I was looking in to GREP, but I could not figure how to do this.
Thanks,
Omar

One way would be to just run it and then *remove* any double FC's -- but GREP can do even more! One of its many functions is to scan ahead for the presence or absence of certain text, and only act when it is (or it is not) there. This is called "lookbehind" (before the text you want to match) and "lookahead" (after the text you want to match).
In this case, you want to find a phrase starting with capitals, but NOT the exact string "FC". That's a job for Negative Lookahead -- Only Match If Not.
Try this: search for
\b(?!FC)\u+-\d+\b
... the Replace With stays the same.
