How do you keep the graphics looking sharp?

Whenever I export a project the graphics always end up
looking pretty bad. How can you maintain the crisp lines you get
with vectors?

Never seen that before nor heard anyone else mention it in
here.
Can you give us some info on your specs and is there a chance
to see
the file ?

How do you keep the graphics on the screen with AWT?

Hi. I have been playing around with applets a lot lately and I keep coming to the same problem. Once the applet is loaded, if you draw something in it and then move another window in front of your applet the thing you originally drew disappears. I have been wondering how to avoid that problem for a while but I can't figure out how except to keep a bitmap or double array of color values for every pixel in the applet and then redraw the entire thing every few milliseconds. I also noticed that the same thing happens to java window panes, unless you use Swing. I found out about it pretty much yesterday (the fact that swing automatically refreshes the missing portion of the graphics), but I would prefer not to use swing unless it is really that big of an improvement. The reason being that I want to learn how they managed doing the refresh without using up massive amounts of your computer's concentration. Does anyone have an answer?

When a component in a AWT or Swing GUI is made viewable (after having been uncovered as you describe, or being de-iconified, or at the program's request) then the GUI thread calls the paint() (or in Swing, paintComponent()) method.
Your program should provide a reasonable implementation of paint() or paintComponent().
I also noticed that the same thing happens to java window panes, unless you use Swing. I found out about it pretty much yesterday (the fact that swing automatically refreshes the missing portion of the graphics), So does AWT.
but I would prefer not to use swing unless it is really that big of an improvement. The reason being that I want to learn how they managed doing the refresh without using up massive amounts of your computer's concentration. Does anyone have an answer?This should have been covered in just about any introductory tutorial or book about AWT or Swing. I'm surprised you didn't see it. (Well actually maybe not. Sun is pushing Swing hard and as I recall they don't exactly make it easy to find AWT tutorials.)

The first thing to try if a setting does not "keep" is a PRAM reset.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
Change the setting to what you want, then PRAM reset on restart:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Events are organised strictly on date and time, as read by iPhoto from the Exif data in the Photo. You cannot manually sort.
Create Albums. You can do much more organising with Albums, use Photos from different events, place them as you will. Best of all, Albums use no disk space at all. They simply reference the file on the Hard Disk. So a pic can be 1, 10 or 100 Albums with no wasted disk space whatever.

When burning a playlist to disc, how do you keep the songs in original order?

When burning a playlist to disc, how do you keep the songs in original order?

If you are burning an audio CD, they will burn in sequential order as in your playlist.
If you are burning an MP3 CD or a data CD, they will burn as individual files, and can be sorted any way you like when you view the CD. For an MP3 CD, the files will be prepended with a sequence number, so if you sort by filename, they will be in the original order.

You asked...

Is there a way to shrink the application you're capturing so it
fits within a given capture window rather than requiring scrolling,
or would I have to go back to the application developers for that?
(I realize that would shrink the size of everything on the screen,
but in some cases, that would be worth it to be able to show a
window without scrolling.
If, by "shrink" ... you mean by using the AppSizer, the
answer is "not really". You can configure AppSizer to a defined
size, then with the mouse pointer double-arrowed on the "edge" of a
window, right-click and your window-size selections will appear in
the AppSizer "list" (that you set up) and can be selected there.
But there is no re-scaling of the window contents, if that is
what you mean, so the smaller window may now require scrolling.
But keep in mind that if you use the recording option for
"Software Simulation" > "Custom Size", you can then snap the
application window to that size...

Lightroom 5 make adjustments want to transfer to photo shop to make additional adjustments. how do you keep the adjustments made in lr5 when photo is transferred to photo shop

lightroom 5 make adjustments want to transfer to photo shop to make additional adjustments. how do you keep the adjustments made in lightroom 5 when photo is transferred to photo shop
I am not able to keep the changes made in light room when I transfer to photo shop

Something you need to understand. Unless you are using the latest version of Photoshop Elements, it's possible that some of the adjustments that you make in Lightroom won't transfer to Elements if you choose the option to open anyway. If you choose the option to edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments then Lightroom will create a TIF or PSD file (depending on your preferences), and that file will include all of the adjustments that you have made using Lightroom. Then you can finish your work in Photoshop Elements.
The process of transferring an image from Lightroom to Photoshop or Photoshop Elements involves the Camera Raw plug-in. It has to be used to interpret the Lightroom adjustments and apply those adjustments to the image after it has been converted. Files open in Elements or Photoshop or no longer raw images because those programs are incapable of editing raw image data. I don't know if this will help you in this situation. Feel free to ask if you have more questions.

How can you keep the highest iphone 4s Video quality the same when exporting it from iMovie.

How can you keep the highest iphone 4s Video quality the same when exporting it from iMovie.

InDesign's PDF export engine does not transcode your videos, they are embedded exactly as they were in the original file. The Flash Player runtime which displays video inside PDF files may not show a perfect match to Quicktime etc. because most video playback tools aren't designed for a color-calibrated workflow, but they should be close.
The playback quality (blocking and aliasing) will be affected if the clip is not playing at 100% (screen pixels != video pixels) and in PDFs with the standard video player widget, that will only ever happen when you use 'floating window' mode. PDF pages have physical dimensions, so viewing them at "100%" does not make them match screen pixels.
If you don't mind the video clip being smaller than the media annotation in which it's playing, then use my free upgrade to the Acrobat playback widget - VideoPlayerX - which maintains 1:1 pixel scale until the page is zoomed out too far for it to fit. You can install the widget into InDesign so it's used by default when exporting.

When playing songs in iTunes playlist, How do you keep the next song from jumping to next song? I am working on song list updating other tracks info and then the next song starts and I lose my spot in song list?

When playing songs in iTunes playlist, How do you keep the next song from jumping to next song? I am working on song list updating other tracks info and then the next song starts and I lose my spot in song list?

Max OSX 10.6.8, iTunes 11.1
I had a similar problem: I wanted to synch my playlist to my iphone. I like to have my playlist sorted by genre. But under each genre, albums are not sorted by the track numbers. This is a problem, especially when I am listening to club mixes when the DJ smoothly transitions from 1 track sequentially to the next one. Under the properties of each audio file, the Track Numbers and Disc Numbers are already there.
My perfect solution was to turn On Sorting - Sort Album under View>Show View Options. Then, select all the songs in that album (Shift click, Cmd click, etc) , and Edit multiple item information (Cmd I). You will see Info-Video-Sorting-Options buttons. Click on Sorting. Then, under Sort Album, Enter the name of the album. Then OK.
You should now have the playlist sorted by Genre, then each album individually sorted by track numbers. On your playlist you should see, if you scroll right, the column added called "Sort Album".
Hope this helps.

How can you keep the caps lock on and not unlock after each letter?

How can you keep the caps lock on and not unlock after each letter?

I'm not aware of an online keyboard that is available and can do this. Most likely it would need to be a function of the app itself (which can and sometimes do add functionlaity to the keyboard).
Wireless keyboard might handle that, if that's an option for you.
I work in IT myself, and IMHO the iPad isn't the ideal device for coding or scripting work.

How do you keep the same URL connection connected continuously?

I am trying to extract information from a web page, but it puts a cust_id in the middle of the URL. It generates the cust_id randomly everytime you use the site. I connect to the initial URL to find the cust_id, I substring that to the new URL and then make a new connection to extract the information, but the web page gives me an error saying that it doesn't recognise the cust_id. As if it was a new connection with the wrong cust_id.
How can I keep the first connection open and with the same cust_id information and then jump to another web page but using the initial connection. Using IE6 I can just cut and paste the second URL and get to the page, but with my java application it doesn?t work. Please have a look at my code and let me know if I am doing anything wrong.

How can you keep the file name when using "Download Linked File As..."?

I'm a longtime PC user finally making the transition to Mac. Some of the tasks that seemed so simple in Windows have really stumped me! One of the tasks I do frequently is download files into specific folders. After much looking, I finally found the "Download Linked File As..." option if I right-click on the download link. The problem is, when I choose this option, I lose the file name. I get a window in which I can choose the desired folder, but the filename is always "0". If I want to keep the filename (and I usually do), I have to type it in manually. Is there anyway around this?

How do you keep the order using SELECT WHERE IN()?

Hi,
Is there a way to keep the order when using SELECT WHERE IN()? For example, using the following query:
SELECT id FROM data_table WHERE id IN('56','55','54','1','7');
The results will come back using the default order by id. 1,7,54,55,56
When I want to keep the order used in the IN: 56,55,54,1,7
Is there a quick way to do this in mySQL or will I be forced to order it after in code.
Thanks

The results will come back using the default order by id. 1,7,54,55,56In case the order by docs and comments weren't clear on this point, there is no default order and they may come back in a different order. Usually after you've tested it to exhaustion to prove otherwise, then put it in production.

ThanksUsing the in list allows oracle to have other possible data access paths than simply running the query 5 times. If for whatever reason you don't want to order the results after they come back, it may be worth your while to just run the five queries serially in the order you want, using bind variables and so having identical queries. That may seem silly on its face, but then again, we don't know the real requirements, what else is going on, if this is simplified from the real code or whether there will always be 5.
