How do you add a gradient to text in PSE 11?

I'm trying to make some text have a gradient color. I write the text, simplify it and then use the gradient tool normally, however, it's applying the gradient to the entire layer instead of just the text. Does anyone know what's going on or what I'm doing wrong? I searched the adobe support for how to add the gradient and followed the insturctions but it's still not working. Any help is appreciated!

Your layers panel should look like this afterwards:
and the text:

How do you add a gradient on only half of a photo?

I want to add a gradient on only half of the picture. How do you do this?

Or
Set the gradiant to Foreground to Transparent. Drag to the point you want the gradient to extend to. If you are not far enough, try again. Foreground to Transparent is the only gradient choice that allows you o build the effect.
or
Run the gradient right across a new layer, and use free transform to resize and position.
or
Run the gradient to the point you want on a new layer, and add a layer mask. Run another gradient in the oposite direction in the layer mask, and unlink the layer mask (click on the chain link between Eye icon and layer mask). Now use the Move tool to fine tune the position of the layer mask.

How can you add comments to a text file while using a Digital Waveform vi?

Hi. I'm very new to Labview. I have a txt file of 1's and 0's wired to a "read from text file" which is then wired to a "spreadsheet string to digital.vi" ("digital waveform") and lastly to a graph. I want to add notes to the txt file that will not be read in the digital waveform. i.e. Like how you use // or /* in a C++ program to show that you are writing a comment and not code.
Labview version: 8.5
Thank you

You will just need in your text file a line at a time. Search the string for the characters // or /*. If it finds them, then loop back and read another line. If it doesn't find them, you must have a good line of data and you can pass on to the next part of your cod.

How do you add a gradient to a (bezier) stroke?

I created a stroke with the bezier tool, just two points. I want to have a distinct gradient to the color but I can't figure out how to do it. I added the gradient colorize filter but it doesn't seem to do it. Any advice?

Gradient Colorize works a little differently than you expect. If you already have a gradient image (any image that has a dynamic range will do) and apply a Gradient Colorize filter, the image will have its colors remapped to the gradient colors based on the luminance levels (0 - 255; color converted to gray/brightness) -- light colors assuming the left end colors in the filter gradient; dark colors assume the colors at the right end.
So, to create a line colored as a gradient, the easiest way is to create a shape, color it with the gradient you want, add an Image mask to it and apply the line to the mask.
OR
you can convert the outline from a solid to Airbrush. In the Style. Go into the Stroke inspector and select Stroke Color Mode > Color over Stroke and select your gradient there (I used one similar to Rainbow). You'll probably also want to tighten up the spacing (in Style) and the Brush Profile (open up the gradient and move the white tab far to the right.) The problem with Airbrush is the brush dabs are always circles and your gradient will look like a pole:
So the solution to that is to use Brush Type > Image, draw a small white rectangle or square and drop it into the Brush Source.
There are other ways (involving a replicator -- use your line as the source for Geometry (if it's not a simple straight line); set the color mode to Over Pattern; adjust the Points higher for a smoother effect.)
There's usually more than one way to accomplish things in Motion.

How do you apply a gradient to text?

In CS5, I open my gradient tool, though it does not apply to the text.
What do you do?
Thanks.

web.boards,
What is this technically doing to the text? What other types of things can be done after this is applied?
What it says: adds a new fill that may be changed independently, and quite a few things can be done.
Just to see a few, you may try this:
1) Create the Live Type;
2) In the Color palette/panel change to 100% M, 0% K;
now you have changed the solid colour of the Type itself, without needing a new fill;
3) Appearance flyout>Add New Fill, in the Toolbox click Gradient instead of Color and change the values to 100% M and 100% Y, and then Effect>Warp>Upper Arc;
Now you may shudder at the sight of an arc with a Magenta>Yellow gradient on top of a Magenta plain Type partially visible underneath.
You may also create some nice things, and you can just start trying out what works.
The proof of the pudding is the eating.

How Do You Add Multiple CSS Rules to Text?

Hi everyone, I have these css rules in my css styles window they are all assigned to some text in a cell on my page.
.Def14grey4 <body>
.def14grey4 a:link <a>
.def14grey4 a:visited <a>
.def14grey4 a:hover <a>
.def14grey4 a:active <a>
.def14grey4 a:focus <a>
How do you add (all of) these styles to the text in the first place, I know how to add the first one (.Def14grey4), you select the text in the cell and choose the rule from the drop-down menu in the css panel, but how do you add the other ones to some text as well, so that it can have the same link properties.
Basically I have some more text elsewhere on the page and want to assign these rules to that as well.
thanks Gareth

You would want to change your order as shown here -
.Def14grey4 <body>
.def14grey4 a:link <a>
.def14grey4 a:visited <a>
.def14grey4 a:hover, .def14grey4 a:focus <a>
.def14grey4 a:active <a>
That way, the hover and the focus states are equivalent.
How do you add (all of) these styles to the text in the first place, I know how to add the first one
You don't really. The 4 bottom selectors say -
"find an element with a class of 'def14grey4', and style any link inside that element this way"
So, <span class="def14grey4"><a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a></span> would get the pseudo-class styles, as would any of the following -
<span class="def14grey4"><a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a></span>
<td class="def14grey4"><a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a></td>
<p class="def14grey4"><a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a></p>
<body class="def14grey4"><a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a></body>
<div class="def14grey4"><a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a></div>
<strong class="def14grey4"><a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a></strong>
and so on. These examples assume that there isn't some other more specific rule that would apply to the same links. You need to study up on the CSS cascade and specificity....

Take a look at the Ticker Tape title.
Also, you can use any Lower Third title. For subtitles, use the second line of the Title, or set the first line so that the Font size is the same as the second.

I am working on a book and how do you add text to a theme called "Travel?"

I am working on a book in iPhoto and there's a theme called "Travel." How do you add a text? I REALLY need help!

Not really possible in general
a book is simply entries in the iPhoto database and to transfer it you must transfer the entire iPhoto database
You could preview it and send the resulting PDF but typically that is VERY large
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?

How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?
In otherwords I'd like to put my logo in the email not as an attachment but as an image.
Is there a simpel solution to this problem?

You don't.
It's not possible. The e-mail protocol is designed for text; anything else has to go as an attachment.
Different mail clients (such as Mail.app, the mail client bundled with Mac OS X) may have different ways of handling such attachments, but they are still attachments. Each mail client has its own rules and methods, so one may display a picture as if it were in the body of the message, but another client may do something completely different.
A way of faking it is to format your message in HTML (which is a kind of text). The image is hosted on a remote server, not added to the message; instead, you include a link to it in the body of the message, as you would when building a web page. (This is also what the two tips helpfully provided by X423424X do, except that the link to the image is added in the signature, rather than the body of the message.) What exactly happens to it is, again, at the discretion of the mail client. In my case, for instance, displaying images in HTML messages is turned off, and will stay resolutely off.

How do you add a format to the "Date Picker Format Mask" available formats?

Hi,
When I select the Date Picker Format Mask or "Number / Date Format" they doen't have YYYYMMDD or others that may be desired...
How do you add a format to the available formats?
Thank you, Bill

Bill - From the popup help text:
If you need to create a Date Picker item, but the format you need does not appear in the Display As list, select Date Picker (use application format mask). When an application uses this type of date picker, the Application Express engine derives the date format from an item named PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK. You can populate this item in two ways:
- By defining an application substitution string named PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK
- By creating an application-level item named PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK

How do you add transparency in Dreamweaver

how do you add transparency in Dreamweaver

With CSS.
Opacity effects everything including text.
#divName {
     opacity: 45%;
RGBA backgrounds allow you to set alpha-transparency in the last value.
#divName {
     background: rgba(0,0,0,0.45);
Or, for older browsers, use a semi-transparent PNG background-image.
#divName {
     background-image: url(my_transparent_BG.png);

It is not easy to see and I found it by messing around. First of all put them in daye order by dragging the screen down and touching the little alarm clock at the top. Then touch the space below the earlies reminder and a new one comes up. It defaults to 'today' so you have to touch the new reminder and then touch the 'i' button that appears. You can then change the date and time etc. No easy.
