How do you create this dithered pixel effect?

hey guys really need to figure out how this image was created...
firstly was it done in photoshop? if so with what techniques? i tried using indexed colour in the image>mode, with palette>uniform, dither>pattern but still didnt get the high quality that these guys got. i tried saving as a gif/png with pattern option selected in photoshop and illustrator, still did'nt succeed. Was this done using pixelbender? or some type of plugin? anyhow, really need to figure this out. appreciate any help you guys can provide. thanks.

Hey again,
I thought i had everything worked out the first time, though as it now turns out, I did'nt. At the outset, let me just say that the overlay of the upper layer with halftone/dither worked just fine and absolutely no problems there. However, I am having a lot of difficulty in getting the lower layers to look right. The main issue for me is the colour/coloured glow? on the lowest layer and then the layer with code on it.
For the layer with code on it I would really like to get the same colours and style that is used on the Reference image that I uploaded. For that i tried print screening an image of source code from a random website and even a print screen of code on 'style editor' (i am using Firefox). Inverting that print screen layer and/or then adjusting all kinds of settings like hue/saturation, channel mixers, curves, modes, etc. etc. just didnt help. I tried print screening from Dreamweaver-no luck. also tried copying the text and pasting into photoshop and adding lighting effects like blue omni etc...still nothing like the reference image. So i'm stuck there.
Secondly, the Coloured layer(mostly blue)-I'm able to get those thin blue and coloured streaks just fine using a brush with colourdodge mode etc. and blurring. However the main blue 'blur' is still hard to create. I tried filling a separate layer above with blue and then motion blur followed by eraser at the edges but can't for example, get the change in colour of text at the bottom left corner to that burn effect among all the other things(using burn did'nt help). Anyhow to make a long story short...stuck here as well.
Any help you guys can provide will be much appreciated! Thanks again for taking the time to help out.
P.S Please click on the image to see it without forum downsampling.

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.

How do i create this kind of effect

Hi i was just wondering if anyone knows of any tutorials or anything on creating this kind of effect. Do you think it was done in after effects?
Its the 3d camera pan at around the 2:40 mark of the video.

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.

How would you create this effect?

I am curious if there is a fairly straight-foward away of creating the effect seen in this image. I am talking about the pixelated effect made up of many little red boxes of various hues at the top part of the image.
I was thinking of zooming in real close to an image in photoshop and doing a screen capture, but I'd rather have a vector image that can be easily scaled in size and easy to change the hue to different colors.
Something like this able to be done in illustrator without building it a box at a time?
Regards,

Well I'd say that PDF is a vector.
The PDF contains nothing other than a raster image. It contains no vector paths.
(By the way: "A vector" is a single expression of a direction. Calling a vector-based illustration "a vector" is like calling a raster-based image "a pixel.")
I zoomed in as close as I could and didn't see any pixels.
All you could see is pixels. That's all that's there.
If it's raster I'd be interested in knowing what resolution...
Its resolution is 1. It's a single-pixel raster image (as given away in its title).
I've never experienced a raster image that didn't get more pixelated the larger you scaled it up.
Yes, you have. That's exactly what I demonstrated in post 5 and in the PDF.
The operative word in your comment is more pixelated. That misconception is the point of the demonstration. Your image is already pixelated, and that's exactly what you want. It won't be "more" pixelated whatsoever, no matter how large you scale it.
At the heart of the [quite common] misconception is this: What you are calling "resolution" is not. True resolution is the measure of the amount of information contained. A raster image contains only a fixed amount of information. PPI is merely a scale factor. It's merely an expression of information density, not quantity. As you can see, that PDF is every bit as "resolution independent" (i.e.; scaleable) as a vector square.
The same priciple applies to your raster image. Your whole intent in your posted example is to display pixelation. So if the very thing you're trying to depict is the pixelation of, say, a 10 pixel x 20 pixel raster image, then all you need in order to depict that at any scale is a 10 pixel by 20 pixel raster image. At a scale of 10 PPI, you've got a perfect depiction of 10 square Pixels Per Inch. At a scale of 200%, you've got a perfect depiction of 5 square Pixels Per Inch (i.e.; 10 Pixels Per 2 Inches). You can scale it to the size of the moon and you'll have a perfect depiction of 10 Pixels Per Moon. It's just as scaleable as a 10 x 20 array of vector squares.
In other words: All the actual resolution of your raster image (all its information—all its pixels, in all their squareness) is already visible. Reducing its information density (by scaling it larger) will not reveal more of its actual information (the square shape of its pixels—the information that one usually wants to conceal or disguize about raster images, but not in this case).
The whole purpose of making sure your raster images have "sufficient resolution" in desktop publishing is to disguise the squareness of their pixels (what is commonly called "pixelation"). But that is exactly what you are intending to depict in this case. And you want to be able to depict that with equal clarity at any scale. There's no need to re-draw it as vector paths in order to do that. In this situation, you are not trying to avoid "pixelation," you are trying to show it, which is exactly what a raster image does by its nature.
Think of it this way: If all you are trying to draw is 200 squares, it can easily be argued that a raster image is more "data efficient" than a file containing 200 square vector paths. For each vector path, you have to include four coordinate pairs (800 anchor points). For a raster image, all you need is 200 color values.
This is not just a symantic or academic or pompous know-it-all point of argument. It's a point widely applicable to many common situations, and something every graphics professional should understand. For example, consider the software instructions author who pointlessly frets over the misunderstood "requirement" for pixel density when his illustrations necessarily consist of screenshots that are, after all, supposed to accurately and clearly depict what the user sees on his screen. Or the fact that you see single-pixel raster images scaled to the full width of the page, or dimensions of a table cell or large section of a whole background on web pages everyday. Or the widespread misconception that intentionally fuzzy raster effects like soft drop shapows "require" 300 PPI.

How would I create this sort of effect?

I have attached an image and I need to know how to create this sort of border around a text....
If anyone could give an "idiots" guide that would be great!!
I really have tried but don't seem to be getting anywhere and i'm sure there's an easy shortcut somewhere.

You can have a stroke that fills in the open spaces within ("the counters") by adding a pathfinder effect to the mix - I wrote up a tutorial here: http://www.illustratorhints.com/2010/05/fill-in-the-counters-on-live-text/
Actually, that shows your whole question I think - I used offset fills instead of strokes, but the idea is the same.

How do you create a mirror image effect on imovie 2014?

All the tutorials online show how to create a mirror image effect on imovie 2011, however there are none showing how to do it on the current version.

You can't do this in iPhoto.
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Preview, already on your Mac.
Seashore (free)
_[The Gimp|http://www.gimp.org/macintosh>_ also free
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
[Pixelmator|http://www.pixelmator.com> ($60 approx.)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

Many thanks for your reply. I edited a series of photographs to 800x200 as
you described and then attempted to create a slideshow in Slideshow editor.
I get a good horizontal fit in the slide frame but there are black bars top
and bottom since the frame is more than 200 pix high. My question really is
how do I create a 800x200 slide frame that the edited photographs will fit.
Subject: How do you create a 800 x 200 pixell slide
show with Photoshop Elements 8?
In the slideshow editor interface click once on your image in the main
window - you will see a bounding box appear together with editing options.
Click on the More Editing button and when your image opens in full edit
select the crop tool.
Set width to 800 px and height to 200 px and resolution to 72
Drag out your crop rectangle and move your image to the position you want -
this avoids image distortion but you will sacrifice parts of the original to
create a banner.
Press Ctrl=S to save and check version set to save an edit without affecting
the original.
Press Ctrl+W to close and your cropped image should automatically pop up in
the slideshow editor.

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 need to create a ghost image of my G4 iBook (OSX 10.3.9) and replace the OS9 on my G4 tower with the created iBook ghost image. How do you do this?

I need to create a ghost image of my G4 iBook (OSX 10.3.9) and replace OS9 on a G4 tower with the Ghost image. How do you do this? Will my applications still work?
The iBook is running Pather, i have tons of programs i use on it, project files, etc... and my G4 Mac tower is more powerful, faster, and more reliable than the iBook. I basiclly just want to take the entire OS, programs and files... create an image, and drop the image on the G4 Tower so it basically will function just like the iBook. Like a mirror image of everything that is on the iBook. I know that you can create image files in the Disk Utility on Panther, but will that back up the entire OS with settings, programs, files and all? ive never done anything like this before, so i wanted to post this up to see if i would get an answer. In the meantime, im reading "Mac OS X, Help Desk Essentials By Owen Linzmayer" to see if i can find the steps to do this.
Any help would be greatly apprciated. Much thanks!

Can't be done as an exact copy from one Mac to the other. The operating systems are system specific. First make sure your system doesn't need a firmware update to get 10.2 or later on it. You'll need to install 9 on it if it does, direct from a 9 retail CD that is compatible with it *. This disc can't say Upgrade, Dropin, or OEM. To determine compatibility, identify your G4 tower:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3082
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42739
Then look at the OS 9 compatibility:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25517
Then apply the correct update
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
The last Mac OS 9 to come retail is 9.2.1, and that's newer than 9.0.4, 9.0.2, and 9.1.
Your ghost image can be done using cloning software, but then you'll have to use a retail 10.3 installer and 10.3.9 combo update on the G4 tower. Then use the Migration Assistant to import the data from the clone of the iBook. The 10.3 retail disc looks like * and does not say upgrade, dropin, or OEM. The 10.3.9 combo update is here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxcombinedupdate1039.html
The clone to an external hard drive can be done with these instructions*:

To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry. If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.

How do I create a Rubber Stamp effect?

If you are familiar with the font "Ink Pad", this is the effect I want to use on an object. It has the real rough looking edges of a rubber stamp. How can I create this effect with Illustrator?

Hello Kelly,
Here is a method that I use:
First place a photo of a wall or floor and use "Live Trace" default
You will end up with a black and white texture like this:
Then Select all the white areas and delete them. If you have a lot of black texture, feel free to delete as much as you want. You can always copy and paste pieces wherever you want.
Now Place your design on top of the texture you have created. Then send the design to the back.
The last step is to select the outlined text and the compound shapes and apply "Subtract From Shape Area" with Pathfinder. Please note that this option does not work on CS3 from the menu (one of the hundred of bugs of this lousy version), so please use the Pathfinder Window.
And this is the end result:
This was a quick sample, but I am sure you can do something a lot better than this sample. I think the difficult part is to get a good photo. Maybe next time I will use a damaged concrete floor or wall photo.
I hope this helps!

Re: How do you create and use "common" type classes?

Hi,
You have 2 potential solutions in your case :
1- Sub-class TextNullable class of Framework and add your methods in the
sub-class.
This is the way Domain class work. Only Nullable classes are sub-classable.
This is usefull for Data Dictionary.
The code will be located in any partition that uses or references the supplier
plan.
2- Put your add on code on a specific class and instanciate it in your user
classes (client or server).
You could also use interface for a better conception if needed. The code will
also be in any partition that uses or references the supplier plan where your
add on class is located.
If you don't want that code to be on each partition, you could use libraries :
configure as library the utility plan where is your add-on class.
You can find an example of the second case (using a QuickSort class,
GenericArray add-on) with the "QuickSort & List" sample on my personal site

Hi Richard,
Your question about "utility classes" brings up a number of issues, all of
which are important to long-term success with Forte.
There is no such thing as a static method (method that is associated with a
class but without an implicit object reference - this/self/me "pointer") in
TOOL, nor is there such thing as a global method (method not associated
with a class at all). This is in contrast to C++, which has both, and
Java, which has static methods, but not global classes. Frequently, Forte
developers will write code like this:
result, num : double;
// get initial value for num....
tmpDoubleData : DoubleData = new;
tmpDoubleData.DoubleValue = num;
result = tmpDoubleData.Sqrt().DoubleValue;
tmpDoubleData = NIL; // send a hint to the garbage collector
in places where a C++ programmer would write:
double result, num;
// get initial value for num....
result = Math::Sqrt(num);
or a Java programmer would write:
double result, num;
// get initial value for num....
result = Math.sqrt(num);
The result of this is that you end up allocating an extra object now and
then. In practice, this is not a big deal memory-wise. If you have a
server that is getting a lot of hits, or if you are doing some intense
processing, then you could pre-allocate and reuse the data object. Note
that optimization has its own issues, so you should start by allocating
only when you need the object.
If you are looking for a StringUtil class, then you will want to use an
instance of TextData or TextNullable. If you are looking to add methods,
you could subclass from TextNullable, and add methods. Note that you will
still have to instantiate an object and call methods on that object.
The next issue you raise is where the object resides. As long as you do
not have an anchored object, you will always have a copy of an object on a
partition. If you do not pass the object in a call to another partition,
the object never leaves. If you pass the object to another partition, then
the other partition will have its own copy of the object. This means that
the client and the server will have their own copies, which is the effect
you are looking for.
Some developers new to Forte will try to get around the lack of global
methods in TOOL by creating a user-visible service object and then calling
methods on it. If you have a general utility, like string handling, this
is a bad idea, since a service object can reside only on a single
partition.
Summary:
* You may find everything you want in TextData.
* Unless you anchor the object, the instance will reside where you
intuitively expect it.
* To patch over the lack of static methods in TOOL, simply allocate an
instance when required.
Feel free to email me if you have more questions on this.
