How to convert a image layer to a text layer any idea? a image looks like a text in layers box

You can't convert an image into a text layer.  What you can do is clip an image to a text layer so that just the image layer shows up where there is text.  Create a text layer, then above it put your image layer.  Hold down the alt/opt key and click between the two layers to clip them.

    cc2014,
    Have you selected an image?
    Unless a good explanation appears, you may start onthe list below.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

    How my iMac connects to printers-group by LAN? Any ideas in the other methods?
    I have idle-word in Printer Preferrence-Box. I cannot use the printer which linked PC by LAN. 

    "There is no way for the user to control which base station the Mac connects to in a roaming environment. "
    Well, actually there is: and I'm surprised I didn't think of this before - even more surprised no-one else has!
    The upstairs iMac connects to the Express via an ethernet cable - so I just un-ticked "Allow wireless clients" in the Airport Utility of the upstairs express. Therefore disallowing the downstairs iMac from joining the upstairs Express - and forcing it to connect to the downstairs, closer, Extreme Base Station!!!
    That's OK if the upstairs one IS connected via ethernet - but if it wasn't, the other way of controlling which iMac connects to which Express is via Mac Addresses isn't it? I can make one Express allow certain computers and the other Express allow/disallow the others - simple. Simple but not mentioned anywhere.
    So, thanks Chris - well done!

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

    The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    1. You don't own another Mac.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    2. You do own another Mac.
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    Once booted from the disc, the USB device, or Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support.

  • My iPad Air pictures are a little grainy. The images are not very sharp. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

    Hi, I have an 32gb IPad Air. The picture quality is blurry and grainy. I don't know why it is happening. It is two months old and the quality has always been this way. I am going to a friends wedding in two weeks and I want to figure out how to take good pictures.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Sandrea

    You would be much better off with a point-and-shoot camera, especially for an occasion like a wedding. The iPad Air only has a 5MP camera.
    Make sure you're taking pictures in a well-lit area. You should be able to tap on a face/area on the screen to get the camera to focus. Either of those may help.

  • How do I make a laser cutting out text. I need this to look like sheet metal.

    I need to create an animation of a company logo being cut out by a laser, like a laser cutting out words on sheet metal. Anyone know how I could do this?
    Also before you reply to this post please know that I am definetely a novice in after effects, so anyone who is going to suggest or post a tutorial for me to follow, please make it a video or include pictures. I had one guy in a previous post send me a link to a project folder I could download. I had no idea what I was looking at. I couldn't find the after effects file or even the tutorial he was talking about.

    Create text in Illustrator. Export as single path (advanced AI skills required). Import path into AE. Apply path to solid layer as mask information. Apply Beam effect (or similar like Lightning or Advanced Lightning). Apply mask path to one of the the effect's End Points.
    Copy layer. Turn off or delete Beam effect and apply your choice of CC particles. Parent the end point of the particle to the endpoint of the Beam effect.
    Duplicate the layer again and change the particle to smoke. Duplicate again and add Lens Flare to the end point path and the Unmult.
    You use parenting (or a more elegantly applied set of expressions) all the way down the line so any changes you make to the original timing and positioning are reflected in all downstream effects.
    The magic of this hackneyed visual effect lies not in the beam or sparks or text. It's in the finesse and elegance you use to remove the waste metal, apply a glow to the hot metal edge, add smoke, and change the direction and pattern of the sparks to simulate a cutting torch or a laser or a science fiction ray gun. If you go 3D, you can animate the camera to follow the cutting beam.
    Dean Valez's site used to have a lovely example of this effect. His contribution was to have the background sheet of metal hesitate and then topple toward the camera, leave the bottom of the frame and crash hard enough to shake the camera and raise a cloud of dust. He was a master at adding special touches that elevated the sequence above the ordinary.

  • I've downloaded the IOS7 to my i-phone 4. My password to unlock the phone is alfa-numeric the keyboard used to come up, now it's just numbers- I've converted to numbers but it won't unlock, any ideas please?

    Hi, please can anyone help, I've downloaded  IOS7 onto my i-phone 4 this morning, I simply accepted the prompt.  When it downloaded I needed to unlock the phone, it's a four digit code, three alfa and one numeric.  Previously when I switched my phone on the key pad popped up at the bottom of the screen, now it's like the telephone key pad, but there's no way of choosing numbers or letters.  I checked out a website that converts alfa to entered m4rk and it converted it to 6475, when I enter it into the phone it doesn't recognise it.
    Any ideas please?  I've maned to block the phone several times now....

    No one requires the device to be updated, if you choose not to update, that is entirely up to you.
    Updating without a backup is a bad idea. 
    Attempting an update without access to a computer is not very smart either.  In the event the update goes badly, the only option may be to restore via iTunes on a computer.

  • Randomly, text messages I send with my new iPhone 4S are delivered as all squares instead of text.  Any idea how to fix this issue?

    Randomly, text messages I send with my new iPhone 4S are delivered to the recipients as all squares instead of regular characters.  I have heard other people complain about this too.  Any idea how to stop it or why it is happening?  Hardware issue?

    There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage.   There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
    I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

  • Effects panel is not working on editable text? Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Trouble shooting this with even starting with a new box and still having the problem.

    In order to apply Effects to text, Muse needs to rasterize the text into an image. Therefore, Effects on text will only works if you have chosen a System Font or if you have rotated your text - both of which force the text to be rasterized. The ability to select an Effect for Web Fonts or Web Safe Fonts depends on browser compatibility which is not equal for all browser platforms as compatibility with CSS on browsers is something which Muse cannot control within its design , We allow users to apply it to text using System Fonts because we are already rasterizing the text frame.
    If you want effect on the text frame you have to add a stroke.

  • How to convert a 2D array of pixels in to a grayscale planar image

    Im having following problems, I hope someone may help me.
    1.     I want to convert a 2D array of pixels (Grayscale values) into a Grayscale PlannerImage. I tried the following code I found on net.
    The steps to do this are:
    -Construct a DataBuffer from your data array.
    -Construct a SampleModel describing the data layout.
    -Construct a Raster from the DataBuffer and SampleModel. You can use methods from the RasterFactory class to do this.
    -Construct a ColorModel which describes your data. The factory method PlanarImage.createColorModel(sampleModel) will take care of this for some common cases.
    -Construct a TiledImage with the SampleModel and ColorModel.
    -Populate the TiledImage with your data by using the TiledImage.setData() method to copy your raster into the TiledImage.
    Only the last step involves any actual processing. The rest is just object creation.
    public static RenderedImage createRenderedImage(float[][] theData, int width, int height, int numBands) {
    int len = width * height * numBands;
    Point origin = new Point(0,0);
    // create a float sample model
    SampleModel sampleModel =
    RasterFactory.createBandedSampleModel(DataBuffer.TYPE_FLOAT,width,height,numBands);
    // create a compatible ColorModel
    ColorModel colourModel = PlanarImage.createColorModel(sampleModel);
    // create a TiledImage using the float SampleModel
    TiledImage tiledImage = new TiledImage(origin,sampleModel,width,height);
    // create a DataBuffer from the float[][] array
    DataBufferFloat dataBuffer = new DataBufferFloat(theData, len);
    // create a Raster
    Raster raster = RasterFactory.createWritableRaster(sampleModel,dataBuffer,origin);
    // set the TiledImage data to that of the Raster
    tiledImage.setData(raster);
    RenderedImageAdapter img = new RenderedImageAdapter((RenderedImage)tiledImage);
    return img;
    I passed it 2D array of pixels with 3 bands, and it gave an exception >>Array index out of bounds at this line >>tiledImage.setData(raster). Then I tried it with a 1D array of length height*width with a single band. So Now it gives me a monochromatic RenderedImage. How can I make it a grayscale PlanarImage.

    jyang, thank you very much for your response. I believe I found a different solution all together, by converting each 16-bit intensity value into an 8-bit intensity value via an intensity ratio (ie: divide each intensity by the maximum and multiply by 256). The attachment shows the new program.

  • How to convert the Adobe 10 PDF to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 so that I can make the text boxes expandable?

    When I convert the Adobe 10 PDF to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 it is a static document, thus not allowing me to make the text boxes expandable.  How do I take a current Adobe 10 PDF with Text and convert it to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 so that I can make the text boxes expandable?

    Hi Alan,
    TextField objects can expand dynamically.  There are a few things that you need to do:
    1. The TextField object should be contained in a subform that is set to Content: Flowed.  This isn't technically necessary, but if you have anything below the expanding text box and the subform is set to Positioned, the text will expand and overlay what's below.
    2. On the Field tab of the text field's Object property tab, check the Allow Multiple Lines checkbox
    3. On the Layout tab, check the Expand To Fit checkbox under Y:/Height
    4. Set the PDF Render Format under Form Properties/Defaults to Dynamic XML Form.  If you're previewing in Designer, don't forget to set the preview to Dynamic too.
