How to create Alpha Channel automatically?

I have a folder containing about 100 TIFF files, each containing an intricate shape against a transparent background.
I need to create an Alpha Channel in each one which replicates the transparent background.
Is there a way to do this "automatically" with Photoshop 7.0.1 (the only version I have access to) under MacOS X 10.4.11?

Record into an action and batch: select layer transparency, save selection as alpha channel. Watch your matting though, as it sounds like these files will be flattened and any feathering in the alpha channel will leads to a fringe of [white? black?]. You could tuck in the alpha channel mask a bit before you save. It depends on the final usage...

Hi,
Wt am able to understand from the above question is, you want to create automatic sales order against contract on a day to day basis by doing batch program, hope am wright.

1. By using BDC, in SHDB T code record how exactly you will do transaction and then give it to your abaper rest he will do. he will write a program and he will schedule that program every day night.
2. By using BAPI. Just check in there are many threads are there which gives sales order bapi. Tell your abaper to map that bapi and tell them to schedule back ground job.

How to create Oppertunity doc automatically after lead in CRM SALES

Hi,
how to create oppertunity doc automatically after creating lead in crm sales
Thanks7regards
kishor kumar

Hi Kishore,
Create SAP Business Workflow for Opportunity from Lead
Use
A lead is a business transaction that describes, stores, updates, and manages the potential business interests of a business partner, and the interactions based on this over a period of time. The goal is to provide the "sales" area with the information gained in the lead, in order that it can be used as a basis for deciding whether to create an opportunity.
The information gathered in the lead is transferred to the "sales" area via the workflow "create opportunity from lead".
In the workflow, you decide whether the opportunity is generated manually or automatically.
If the lead-specific attributes Priority and Lead group fulfill specific criteria, the workflow automatically generates an opportunity. Otherwise, the workflow sends a work item to the sales employee responsible, for manual creation. Once he has checked the data in the lead, the sales employee can either reject this lead or create an opportunity from it.
The workflow is automatically started when the lead is saved.
The sales representative entered in the lead is first taken as the sales employee whose task it is to create the opportunity based on the information in the lead. This person can be determined using partner determination in CRM, depending on the prospect in the lead, and can, for example, be a manager of a sales area. If no sales representative is entered, the workflow takes an organizational unit assigned in the workflow template, and sends the work item to all users assigned to the organizational unit.
Prerequisites
u2022     The type linkage for the start events AttributeChanged and SetErrorFree for the workflow WS10001011 are deactivated as a standard procedure, and, if you wish to start the workflow template, they have to be activated again in Customizing. The workflow task processors must also be maintained. In Customizing, choose Customer Relationship Management  Basic Functions SAP Business Workflow  Perform Task-Specific Customizing.
u2022     The workflow template uses the user statuses SAAC (accepted by sales) and SARE (rejected by sales) of the status profile CRMLEAD. If you have defined several user statuses, the data flow for task TS10008154 (set status) must be adapted accordingly.
u2022     When the opportunity is created, the workflow template uses the opportunity transaction type OPPT. If you have defined several transaction types for the opportunity, the data flow for task TS10008151 (create opportunity) must be adapted accordingly.
u2022     If the sales employee rejects the lead, the workflow resets the qualification level to value 02 (warm). If you have specified your own qualification levels in Customizing, you need to adapt the data flow for task TS10007918 (change qualification level) accordingly.
Process of Workflow WS10001011 (create opportunity from lead)
The workflow "create opportunity from lead" is started when a lead is saved with qualification level Hot and status Error-free. The system uses the lead-specific attributes Priority and Lead group to check whether an opportunity can be automatically created, or a sales employee first needs to decide. If the sales employee decides that an opportunity can be created, the lead status is set to "accepted by sales", and an opportunity is created in the background. If necessary, this is forwarded to the sales employee to check. If the sales employee rejects the lead, the lead status is set to "rejected by sales", and the initiator is informed by mail.
The workflow is ended if no opportunity is created and
o     the lead is deleted or
o     the qualification level of the lead is changed to a value other than Hot or
o     the status of the lead is changed to a value other than Error-free.
Path for the workflow:
==> SPRO
==> Customer Relationship Management
==> Basic Functions
==> SAP Business Workflow
==> Perform Task-Specific Customizing
Select the Application Componenet Abbrevation as CRM and expand
Select CRM-BTX and expand
Select CRM-BTX-LEA and click on Activate event linking and acivate workflow WS 10001011
It may helps you

How to create alpha videos now FLV / F4V support dropped from Media encoder

Now that Media encoder has dropped support for FLV / F4V has anyone got any ideas how you would create a video with an alpha channel for use in flash professional. With flash professional only really supporting the H.264 CODEC, I can't see any way possible to use transparent videos now. I'm currently having to resort to installing an old version of media encoder to get back access to FLV. Does anyone have any other thoughts on how I could achieve this using the latest software.

Hi Preran,
Can you clarify why the Alpha channel video option has been removed?
There's all sorts of reasons why people still need FLV, in our case its the video format we use with Aurasma to be able to have animated text on a transparent background in an AR environment....
Why oh why would you just remove the option when h264 clearly doesn't replace all of FLVs features?

How to create a channel for a PXI-6509

I am working on a program to control the PXI-6509. The one area that I am having problems with is creating the channel by calling the function DAQmxCreateDOChan. I get no errors when first calling DAQmxCreateTask, but get an error when trying to create the channel. How exactly do you create the name for the channel? In MAX, I named the device "DIO", not sure if that matters. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi schelgr,
Have you had a look at the DAQmx examples in the example finder found in the help > find examples. In the Hardware Input and Output > DAQmx there is many examples that should be able to help you with this query.

How to set alpha channel names in a format plugin?

I am writing a format plugin with 6 color planes for CMYK mode. I want to set the apha channel names for planes 5 and 6 to "White" and "Clear" instead of "Alpha 1" and "Alpha 2" when I read the color data from my file. How do I set the alpha channel names?
Thanks!

I am still trying to find a solution to this. The propChannelName is read only and the documentInfo structure is NULL when reading. Any suggestions?

How to create credit note automatically after PGR?

Hello SD Gurus,
Client's Business Process: Return Order (ZRE, ZPOR, ZARE, and ZMTR) is created with reference to billing document number and item category used for this order type is REN or ZREN. After the order is created, they do PGR (Return Delivery Type is LR) and then credit memo is created "manually". So, the issue with this process is that it is very time consuming and a lot of manual intervention is required.
To-be Process: The requirement is to create credit note "automatically" after the PGR is done to reduce the manual intervention and expedite the process. If item category is REN, then credit note will be created with invoice value. If item category is ZREN, then credit note will be created with Zero Value.

Hi
Apart from Lakshmipathi's suggestion you can share the below logic with your ABAPER. There are two BAPIs we use to create billing automatically. Check whether you can call these BAPIs in userexit you have mentioned in your post.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_BILLINGDOC_CREATEMULTIPLE'
* EXPORTING
*   CREATORDATAIN         =
*   TESTRUN               =
*   POSTING               =
        TABLES
          billingdatain         = billingdatain
          conditiondatain       = conditiondatain
*   CCARDDATAIN           =
*   TEXTDATAIN            =
*   ERRORS                =
          return                = return3
          success               = success
      CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
        EXPORTING
          wait = 'X'.
      READ TABLE return3 WITH KEY type = 'E'.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
        record-inv_rem = return3-message.
      ENDIF.
      WAIT UP TO 2 SECONDS.
*      READ TABLE return3 WITH KEY type = 'E'.
*      IF return3-type = 'E'.
*        WRITE:/ return3-message.
*      ENDIF.
      READ TABLE success INDEX 1.
      CLEAR: vbeln_vf.
      vbeln_vf = success-bill_doc.
    ENDIF.

How can the alpha channel be removed in an image with the command sips?

I solved it by converting the image to jpeg with best quality, but it's a less than optimal solution.
Is there a better way?
I want to know because I'm developing a bash script to manipulate images.
Thank you.

I'm developing a Bash script to automate PNG compression.
Converting true color images is often a good idea to reduce file size dramatically but transparency doesn't look any good then. So removing the alpha channel is usually the thing to do.
I think Apple's platform is very easy to use but as soon as I dig deeper into the system it often becomes frustrating. Why isn't there a simple way to do something so simple and basic as removing alpha channels from images from the command line? Sips should be the answer but doesn't seem to be, unless I've missed something, but the manual doesn't give any clue.

How to retrieve alpha channel data in format plugin

I want to ask how to get the alpha channel 's data that describle the document's transparent info, in a format plugin.
for example , when open a PNG file in Photoshop, the photoshop set FormatRecord:: planes to 3 (not 4),
in this case i can only request the RGB data.
then how can i get if the pixel is transparent in document ? (that is 0 - completely transparent, 255 - completely opaque)
Thanks~

i have resolved this problem, it's maybe i didnot set the fmtCanWriteTransparency flag in the pipl.
thanks.

How to create multiple channels in DAQmx

Hello ,
I created an application based from this example program, MultiFunctionSyncAIAO_DigStart (from VCNet).
I added another input and output channels, which later on I plan to add trigger features between
the two signals ( could be both inputs, both outputs or a combination of I/O). For now,
I am concentrating in the creation/ setup of multiple signals.
I desperately created multiple channels by converting the variables to array. Obviously, this
is not a smart move. Then, I saw this function DAQmxAddGlobalChansToTask which creates multiple channels.
Unfortunately, I do not know how to use it. ( clueless )
Please send me a snippet of the function usage for further understanding.
Are there any other methods to create multiple channels based from the function/s used in the attachment?
Thank you.

DAQTestingDlg.cpp (14 kb)

Hi Patrick
To convert the code using multi I/Os, I included the multi reader/ writer header files.
Plus, those variables that require updating of data type are now in CNiReal64Matrix.
I also omitted the SineWave(), which i think I cannot use it with the CNiReal64Matrix data type.
But, I wonder why is that I have no significant output based from the amplitude. I hooked it up
with the scope but saw nothing. Aside from the changes that I mentioned, I didnt do anything
drastic. To make the conversion fuss-free using the same example, i retained the UI and converted
the single functions to the multi functions. I will add the control for additional I/Os later on.
Please point it to me why the code has no output after the m_outputTask->Start(). I really can't get the output
portion working it. I browsed through the different voltage analog output for VC++ but all examples
use the single function.
Btw, is there a way that i can use a sine wave or similar function to display a nicer waveform?
Thanks a bunch for all the help,
A

How do create a channel with no title bar/header ?

Hi,
II need to add a image to Portal desktop. I have created a channel without boards but I could not remove the title bar. Has any one managed to remove the title bar without editing the leafwrapper.jsp ?
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi Guys,
How can I remove the titlebar for �very channel (it's too much work to make a property line for every possible channel and besides I immediately want to have a channel without titlebar when creating a new channel).
I understand that this is possible by changing the leafwrapper.jsp, and by adding the following line for each channel.
<Collection name="channelsHasFrame">
<Boolean name="channelname" value="false"/>
</Collection>
but isn't this possible (having no titlebar for every channel) in a general way which is one line somewhere in the display profile or so?

How copy an alpha channel mask to an adjustment layer?

I can copy an alpha channel mask to an image layer by Ctrl+Clicking the alpha channel then clicking the Add Layer Mask icon in Photoshop CC but this does not work for an adjustment layer. How can I copy the mask from an alpha channel to the layer mask for an adjustment layer? Thanks.

I am using Photoshop CC as I stated in my question. All updates have been installed.
I am running on Win 7 Pro 64 bit with all updates installed.
I am editing a photograph.
I have an alpha channel with a grey scale mask.
If I Ctrl+Click the alpha channel then click the Add Layer Mask button to add a layer mask to an image layer the alpha channel mask is added to the image layer.
If I delete the layer mask from an adjustment layer and follow the same steps a solid white mas is added to the adjustment layer.
Several others in the camera club I belong to have tried this with the same result so the problem is not unique to my system.
Hope this helps.
