How to defeat the shadow?

I have an ObjectStyle, that has shadow in its properties. Now i need to switch off this option.
I tried like this:
myDoc.AllObjectStyles.Item("my").ContentEffectsEnablingSettings.EnableDropShadow = False
myDoc.AllObjectStyles.Item("my").FillEffectsEnablingSettings.EnableDropShadow = False
myDoc.AllObjectStyles.Item("my").ObjectEffectsEnablingSettings.EnableDropShadow = False
myDoc.AllObjectStyles.Item("my").StrokeEffectsEnablingSettings.EnableDropShadow = False
It didn't help.
Then tried this (to directly kill some shadow settings):
myDoc.AllObjectStyles.Item("my").ContentTransparencySettings.DropShadowSettings.XOffset = 0
myDoc.AllObjectStyles.Item("my").ContentTransparencySettings.DropShadowSettings.YOffset = 0
myDoc.AllObjectStyles.Item("my").ContentTransparencySettings.DropShadowSettings.Size = 0
myDoc.AllObjectStyles.Item("my").ContentTransparencySettings.DropShadowSettings.Opacity = 0
Also no effect. But in Objstyle properties the "check mark" appeared in grey color (means, as far as i guess, "partly activated").
So, how to switch on/off this ... shadow?

This worked only on selected object and in this syntaxis:
mInd.Selection.Item(1).TransparencySettings.DropShadowSettings.Mode = 1852796517 'shadow off
mInd.Selection.Item(1).TransparencySettings.DropShadowSettings.Mode = 2020623440 'shadow on
But in ObjStyles doesn't work. Moreover, after manual removing shadow from object, which has objSt with shadow, this option "almoust" disappear from style properties. This is smth....

How come, that the shadow of an object on one layer effects the view of an image, that is on a different layer

one layer has a shadow - on a second layer I have my image - how come, that the image-view is effected by the shadow of an object of a different layer? is this only a view-effect or does this effects the prints as well? if so, how can I change it?
thanks for advice!

Basic rule is that transparent object affects other objects behind it. So if you bring some object to front of transparent object (or upper layer), transparency flatteners doesn´t flatten it during transparency flattening. There are some exceptions to that rule, but I almost categorize those as bugs...
Use Window>Output>Flattener Preview panel to see which objects are affected...
If you export PDF, it makes a difference if you use PDF1.3 as compatibility. Using that PDF-version triggers Transparency Flattener and resulting PDF has no live transparency. All the other compatibility options preserve live transparencies....
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/pdfs/dgt.pdf is quite good white paper about transparencies in CS softwares, it´s a bit old but most of the things have not changed since CS2...

How to enable the shadow option in my 3D pie chart?

I am using Numbers 09 and have created a pie chart. I see that the 3D pie chart has a dark black shadow on it and I want to be able to change that color of the shadow. When I click on the both the full chart or just a slice of the pie chart the "Shadow" bar is greyed out on both the Graphic inspector AND the Chart inspector window. Can I do this? If so, how?
Thank you for you help in advance..
News guy..

I do not believe this is possible in Numbers 2.x (the previous version of Numbers)
One work around is to place a circle with a shadow behind the pie chart:

How to defeat the auto caps in the navigation menu.

How in god's name do you get iWeb to stop automatically capitalizing things in the navigation menu? It seems happy to let me use lowercase for totally new pages but Welcome, About, Photos, etc. Is absolutely forced caps. No matter how many time, or in what fashion I try to change the text it reverts back to Caps on the first letter. Is it not possible to have welcome about, photos, etc in your navi menu?

Yes, I very well may be over thinking this, but I tried duplicating and moving it, but the text distorts slightly, which can be mostly remedied by rotating it on the x-axis, although the light is still off. And the shadows and reflections are not visible - this is pic1... In pic2, I used "rotate 3d object" with the green and red arrows, instead of just sliding it up the y-axis using the coordinates in the scene tab. Using the green and red arrows to move the text preserved the reflections but the shadows now aren't visible. It was also hard to align the text perfectly in scenario 2. Thanks for the help

Following the recent upgrade to Photoshop Elements 13 the shadows/highlights sliders no longer operate. How do I resolve this issue?

Having installed the recent upgrade to Photoshop Elements 13 the shadows/highlights sliders no longer work. How do I resolve this problem?

Sometimes when problems pop up for no apparent reason it could be that the preferences files had become corrupted. Here are two ways to reset the preferences.
1. The reset process might be built into your PSE version, as shown in this video:
How to Reset Photoshop Elements Preferences - YouTube
2. If your version does not have the reset option, press and hold Alt-Ctrl-Shift (Option-Command-Shift on Mac) immediately while starting PSE. The timing is critical; you may have to try this several times. A dialog box will pop asking if you want to delete the settings file? Click YES.
Let us know if either of these works for you.

How come when I copy and paste, my font is not carrying the shadow??

I am trying to edit a menu and when I copy and paste the script it does not carry over the shadowing. I am new to Adobe PS and I dont even know how to shade in the first place! Someone please guide me in the right direction! Thanks

Here's a handy thing: If you right-click on the layer in the Layers palette you can copy just the layer style, then right click on the layer in the destination image and paste the layer style.

HP Photo Creations v3.7's Cards: How to remove the dropped shadow boxes for photos?

Hello.
In Cards' mode when adding photos, I get shadow drop boxes. How do I remove these shadow drop boxes around my photos?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Antdude.
There are several ways to remove the default "drop shadow" from a photo on your layout. The quickest is:
Select the Design Tools
Select the Photo Borders Tab
Select the photo
Click the first border preset (see screenshot below)
That preset applies the plain border style to the photo, removing any other border treatments as well. To remove just the shadow, open the Advanced Controls at the very bottom of the page, scroll down, and then click the No Shadow button.
These techniques work on graphics too.
Hope this helps,

How do I remove shadows on the face even when I have used flash?

I have done a photo shoot, where I used the flash, but have ended up with a shadow by someone's face. I have used curves and everything else I can think of and it won't go away. I am new to Aperture, please help.

When I use "Highlights & Shadows" to lighten parts of an object that are cut off by a shadow boundary, I found it useful to turn off the "edge detection" and to set the brush range to "All". With the "Detect Edges" option on there will be a nasty darker line along the shadow boundary, and the width of this line will depend on the softness of the brush - the softer the brush, the wider the gap close to the edge that brush will not effect. The same goes for "Brush range: Shadows". To see the width of the gap I usually check with the brush overlay turned on.
Here is an example of an australian crocodile with the tail cut off by the shadows and a second screenshot showing the brushstrokes in red, with edge detection on. Notice the gap along the shadow boundary?
Also, with shadows this dark, you'll be out of luck with the "Highlights & Shadows" brick, if you want to remove the shadow completely. With this control you only can enhance the contrast a little and somewhat lighten it, but you cannot remove it. The sliders are limited to settings resulting in subtle effects.
(Fwiw, "Highlights & Shadows" follows the naming misleading naming conventions one finds everywhere in photography: it is more properly the "Lights and Darks" Brick.)
How right you are, Kirby!
P.S: I still have not managed to give the poor crocodile back its tail. Can crocodiles regrow their tail like lizzards?
The best I could do so far has been to use the "Curves" to raise the luminance and to stretch the contrast at the same time, but it looks very unnatural.

Soft shadows around photos on a particular website appear as heavy black frames in Firefox 5.0 although they look like proper shadows in Firefox 4.0 and in other browsers. How can I get the shadows to display correctly??

The shadow effect on two sides of the photos on this site looked fine in Firefox 4.0. When I upgraded to 5.0, the heavy black "frames" appeared in place of the shadows. No change had been made to the website between the time I looked at it in 4.0 and 5.0 (I know because I know the builder of the site). Indeed, it was only about an hour between my two viewings. So I figure the odd appearance has to have something to do with 5.0. But what? Is this fixable? Or do I need to wait for 5.1?

That is either a bug in Firefox 5 or the script has a problem with Firefox 5. 
It works in all other Firefox versions like Firefox 3 and 4 and 6 (Aurora) and 7 (Nightly).

How to enable the CSV vss shadow copy

2012r2 cluster, i found witness disk properties i can enable shadow copy, but when i switch the CSV properties disk i can not see this option, does the cluster CSV support the shadow ?

Hi SpaceTime_L,
Tim is correct, we strongly recommend customers to use VSS hardware providers so it will allow simultaneous triggering of VM backups, you can consult your SAN vendor about hardware
providers.
From the snapshot which lists the providers, we can see software provider was system which means customer uses the VSS software providers in their CSV cluster service.
However, in iSCSI storage scenario, if ISCSI storage solution didn’t have any VSS hardware providers we have to use software snapshot providers, simultaneous triggering of VM
backups in the same CSV will cause backup jobs to time out and fail.

Forgive me for not looking into your Maya-specific links, but one can automate Photoshop using JavaScript indeed (on Windows also VB, on Mac also AppleScript).
Not everything can be automated naturally, but a lot – and it can really speed up many tasks; and with the »small« repetitive ones like saving copies off of files etc. combining Scripts with Configurator Panels can be especially convenient.

How to set the value of an array element (not the complete array) by using a reference?

My situation is that I have an array of clusters on the front panel. Each element is used for a particular test setup, so if the array size is three, it means we have three identical test setups that can be used. The cluster contains two string controls and a button: 'device ID' string, 'start' button and 'status' string.
In order to keep the diagrams simple, I would like to use a reference to the array as input into a subvi. This subvi will then modify a particular element in the array (i.e. set the 'status' string).
The first problem I encounter is that I can not select an array element to write to by using the reference. I have tried setting the 'Selection s
tart[]' and 'Selection size[]' properties and then querying the 'Array element' to get the proper element.
If I do this, the VI always seems to write to the element which the user has selected (i.e. the element that contains the cursor) instead of the one I am trying to select. I also have not found any other possible use for the 'Selection' properties, so I wonder if I am doing something wrong.
Of course I can use the 'value' property to get all elements, and then use the replace array element with an index value, but this defeats the purpose of leaving all other elements untouched.
I had hoped to use this method specifically to avoid overwriting other array elements (such as happens with the replace array element) because the user might be modifying the second array element while I want to modify the first.
My current solution is to split the array into two arrays: one control and one indicator (I guess that's really how it should be done ;-) but I'd still like to know ho
w to change a single element in an array without affecting the others by using a reference in case I can use it elsewhere.

It isn't possible to get a reference to a particular element within an
array. There is only one reference to the one control that represents
all elements in the array.
While it may seem better to use references to update
an element within
an array, it shouldn't really be necessary, and it can also lead to
race conditions. If you write to an element that has the
possibility of the user changing, whether you write with a local, a
reference, or any other means, there is a race condition between the
diagram and the user. LV will help with this to a certain extent,
especially for controls that take awhile to edit like ones that use
the keyboard. In these cases, if the user has already started entering
text, it will not be overwritten by the new value unless the key focus
is taken away from the control first. It is similar when moving a slider
or other value changes using the mouse. LV will write to the other values,
but will not rip the slider out of the user's hand.
To completely avoid race conditions, you can split the array into user
fields and indicators that are located underneath them. Or, if some
controls act as both, you can do like Excel. You don't directly type
into the cell. You choose w
hich cell to edit, but you modify another
location. When the edit is completed, it is incorporated into the
display so that it is never lost.
