How does the Skier Jump out of the image? How is this effect developed?

Check out the skier in the top right box (http://www.cnn.com/). Click "Jump Now." Does anyone know how this animation/video is developed? Is it web css, javascript, a movie? Very cool!

Hi Nancy,
I am looking for an answer to this question and it seems you are the wisest on the forum, so I'm hoping you can help. You answered this "yes" a while ago, but I'm wondering if things have changed since then:
Would it be ok to use tables to create this example? Seems like pretty intense
work. Any thoughts, tricks or suggestions?
Thanks for your time.

X120e HDMI - 27" LED LCD @ 1920x1080 - how does the image look?

Hi All,
Since that my X120e is not compatible w/ my Dell 30" DVI-D dual link display, I'm about to invest in a 27" LED LCD w/ HDMI input. If you're using the X120e on a 27" @ 1920x1080 via HDMI too, may I ask how does the image look to you?
Can people even tell that all that images/video come from a lil' laptop?
I asked cos' as we all agree that X120e's built-in display is a lil' on the weak side, I wonder if this carries onto an external display too or not. Speaking of which, ever since I downloaded all latest drivers (as late as last night), my X120e's picture quality is now noticeably better, have you guys noticed this too? And I haven't even used Microsoft's picture calibration software yet cos' last time I used it, all grey areas looked pinkish.
Thanks.

Yeah, as ColonelONeill said, the picture qualities are independent.
Most likely, if you encounter any picture quality issue on the external, it's going to be due to picture options on that monitor itself (color temperature, brightness, contrast, sharpness, etc. etc.) that can be adjusted independent of any setting that the computer has. Any calibration tool software on the PC only adjusts how the data is sent out to the monitor in question. Hardware + Software calibration tools are considerably more reliable because they can take into account the settings on the monitor itself. Sadly one can't adjust the laptop's screen's settings itself.
If you're going to use the HDMI connection, don't forget to go into your Catalyst Control Center and adjust the overscan / underscan setting to get the image to fill up your monitor's screen. AMD sets the overscan / underscan option to default with a slight border around the desktop. This in turn can cause a sort of blurriness because the pixels on the monitor is not 1:1 to the pixels that the laptop is outputting (1920 x 1080 resolution being fit into a 1820 x 980 resolution with a 50 pixel black border, for example).
P.S. the Overscan / Underscan option only shows up in CCC if you have the device connected through HDMI.

Does the Flashback malware have an effect on OS X systems without java installed?

Does the Flashback malware have an effect on OS X systems without java installed? Just asking since i do not have java installed...

It's not likely, but better safe than sorry. See
Helpful Links Regarding Flashback Trojan
Visit Thomas Reed's site for insight and help: Mac Malware Guide
A Google search can reveal a variety of alternatives on how the remove the trojan should your computer get infected. This can get you started. However, be careful about what you do as new variants of the malware circumvent the efforts of earlier tools.
Also see Apple's article About Flashback malware.
Apple has released Java updates for Snow Leopard and Lion users:
Java for OS X Lion 2012-003; available only for users of Lion with Java installed.
Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 8; available only for users of Snow Leopard.
Flashback malware removal tool; available only for users of Lion without Java installed.
Install whichever shows up in Software Update. It removes the malware (if present), updates Java (if present) and tightens up Java settings for the future. You may download from Apple's web site instead of using Software Update, but it's important to know which one to get, because the other two won't work for you.

I'm traveling to Europe for several weeks. What's the best converter to use and how will this effect my computer?

I"m traveling to Europe for several weeks. What's the best converter and how will this effect my computer over time?

Right! Our regular power bricks cover the gamut of 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz that will take care of everything save, say, a failing portable generator chugging in the tip of the Alps...
And you can drink the Apple koolaid and purchase the Official $40 Apple Adapter Kit ( http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB974ZM/B?fnode=MTY1NDEwMQ ) that will look chic and color matched to your brick, or do as Kappy says and get a regular equivalent from the nearest Radio Shack

When I'm travelling I import photos onto my laptop's external hard drive and work on the images using virtual copies to develop them. When I get home, I want to import all the photos together with the developed virtual copies fromt the laptop's external HD into LR5 on my PC desktop. But if I use the import button in LR I only get the original photo, not the developed copies. What am I doing wrong?

Since your current editing workflow is based around Virtual Copies there are no actual files containing the edit data. Therefore, you'll need to use the 'Import from another catalog' option ( see File menu).

If you change the image mode of this image from 8-bit RGB image to Grayscale mode while in PSCS – what will the new Pixel Count be?

If you mean by Pixel count the number of pixels, this will not change. The image will have the same size thus the same number of pixels.

more info would help. If you're using actionscript and

wrong. It's possible that your images aren't in the right layer or

How does the image time stamp display /modification vary among Bridge, Photoshop, and PS Element Org

I've noticed some discrepancies between times recorded in my image EXIF data as well as the time displayed with images in Bridge and Photoshop Elements Organizer. For instance I may have a series of images shot within a few minutes of each other. After having done some manipulation of a subset of the images and later on showing the sequence in both Bridge and PSE Organizer, I have noticed that the time associated with some of the images has changed. Bridge and PSE Organizer may actually show times that differ by several hours. It almost looks like the time is converted from the original camera time to UTC and then possibly back to the time zone where my computer is located. The pattern is not completely consistent and may depend on what Adobe products have been used to adjust or catalog the images. I'm looking for a good and complete description of how each product handles the image date and time stamp. I suspect that there is some inconsistency in how this is done across the products. I'm currently using Bridge / Photoshop CS6 Extended and Photoshop Elements Organizer 10.0 which were recently upgraded from CS 5 and 8.0 respectively. I also use Adobe Camera Raw 7.1 to edit the Nikon raw files. This problem appears to predate the upgrade of my products.

Well, it must be a system-specific bug of some sort that's been introduced, because I was able to create a 4200 x 3500 image made by mapping an image of similar size to a cylinder, and the cylinder would move/rotate in real time. Of course, I have a completely different video card and system than you do, but I'm just verifying that it's not broken everywhere.
Rendering isn't hugely fast, but that's not unexpected with a larger image.
Maybe being more specific would help. Is your mesh complex?
Is it something you'd be willing to share online or describe how to create? I would be happy to try to match what you're doing more thoroughly to see whether I can reproduce the slowdowns.
Beyond that, I'm not sure what to suggest... You don't have a lot of RAM to be working on 15 megapixel images, but as you say the thing to concentrate on is that you're seeing quite different performance from the Ps CS6 beta version.

How does the String class achieve this.

How come we can do the following with the String class:
// The class is initialized using the equals sign!
String s = "Hello, World"";I am currently checking the string class but can not find what makes the above possible. could anyone help me?

ok sorry for not being so clear :)
When having a String class, we can initialize it by doing the following:
String myString = "Hello World"; Whis as JosAH explained it is handeled by the compiler. However my common sense tells me that the String class is nothing but a normal class (not like int, long, etc). So if it a normal class, then in that class there is a way to understand what = "somthing" means, and update it's state accordingly.
I would like to do the same think with my class. example:
Person MyPerson = "John, Smith";The above is a stupid example, however it gathers my point. The String class sess what is inside the quates and updates it state (with the help of the compiler). Can the Person class do the same? how?

How does the iPhone 3G handle this???

If I save photos from my email, and there are multiple photos with the same name, how does the iPhone 3g behave? Since I can't see the filenames of the photos, I am unable to determine if any two images have the same filename.
Does the phone rename one? Overwrite one? What occurs??

That is exactly what I was talking about. I expected as much however I noticed the following occur. I save a photo from one source, and saved the exact same photo from another source (both have the same filename) I then deleted the first one that I saved, and both photos were deleted.
Is that the proper behavoire?

HT1171 When you do a 'print screen', where does the image go?

Using Windows 7 in Bootcamp.
When i use the shortcut to do a print screen, i cannot find the image nor does it seem to be stored in the clipboard.
Any ideas where this goes?

My Mac Pro has a Mac aluminum keyboard. I found the F14 key to be equivalet to PrtScn key on PC.
Your Windows BootCamp control panel interface has keyboard help.
In PC jargon, pressing PrtScn copies what is displayed on Monitor to clip-board. Unlike Lion/Leopard's
user friendly equivalent, it does not create an incremental .png to desktop for you. If you open Paint
accessory there is a Paste function that will show clip board and you then can save it as zzz.jpg to
desktop etc.
Because this is a tedious process, I have code to do what Lion/Leopard does, so that after pressing
PtrScn; when (PasteScr.Vbs) executed, will place Picture(NN).Jpg on desktop, incrementing NN thus
saving need to go through Paint. The code is Vbs script and you can use it by copying text between,
== lines then pasting the copy to a new text document somewhere on your C:\ drive. Then, after saving,
rename it to, for example, PasteScr.Vbs
You can make a shortcut to this on Desktop to use whenever you have pressed PrtScn.
This works in Vista & Windows 7 and should work in XP.
I have found that in Windows 7 64 Bit, on occasion PrtScn does not go to clipboard and results in a white
Picture(NN).Jpg. If this happens, repeat the Prt & Paste process.
This could be improved if pressing PrtScn could be invoked in the VBS but I don not know how to do that.

Why does the image go blurry when I export my file to jpeg from Illustrator CS6?

Hi,
I have created an image on illusrator CS6 and am ready to save it.
I have saved it as a pdf format and the image stays as a sharp vector image and not blurry at all.
But I also want to keep the image as a jpeg. So when I go to export the image from illustrator CS6 as a jpeg, the end result comes out blurry and not sharp anymore, but more jagged on the edges of the image.
Is there anything I can do to keep my file as a jpeg with it staying as a sharp crisp image?

The image above is a screenshot of the ai.file
Above - second image is the screenshot of my export settings
the 3rd image above is a close up zoomed in part of the image - the edges are jagged and blurry

How can I delete the image outside of this offset path?

I'm really new to Illustrator, and I'm trying to print an image that will have a CutContour swatch around it, with a bleed outside of the CutContour line. You'll see that I set up the bleed by creating an offset path outside of the CutContour path. However, I would like to delete the rest of the image outside of that, but I'm not sure how to do this. I don't want to print the entire block of the photograph, just the image inside the tracing, leaving the outside white. I thought I could select the offset path and make a Clipping Mask from that but it says it's "too complex" or doesn't do anything at all. I've attached an example since it will probably make more sense to have something to look at in addition to my explanation...

If there are a lot of points in the path you are trying to use as a clipping mask, you could try;
Object > Path > Simplify
Turn on preview, and play with the settings while watching the shape and number of points.
