How to make a clean color mask of Z (depth) blending of layers?

I mean if I have two objects having its depth info in 32 bit exr. To put one against another and then get a mask for its color blending that would render where pixels of top layer higher ( brighter in its depth info) than corresponding bottom one.
Something that would recreate Zbrush 2,5 D layers, Blender Z combine node or Fusuion merge node depth option for depth blending . Is there a trick to rightfully do so in Photoshop? Maybe a kind of blending modes combination ?
Preferably I would like to get an anti-aliased mask as Blender does so and not aliased Fusion's one.

Looks like I am able to answer my own question. Here is how it works my way : Dropbox - sphere_cube zcombine.psd You need to have layer selection "by layer" not by group to interactively move things
If somebody know how to do it more straight way or how to combine more than two objects in a more simple manner I would appreciate an input
ps. Now it needs a kind of quick SSAO sceen space ambient occlusion filter to be really useful. Somebody know one for Photoshop?

How to easy make new two color (C+K) from this rgb images?
Not at all. They need extensive adjustments long before that - they are scanned wrongly to begin with (double-sided must be scanned against a black background), have fingerprints and whatnot. Once you have them cleaned up, converting to CMYK and cleaning up the colors is anotehr matter. Could be as easy as blanking out the yellow and magenta channels, could entail additiojnal extensive work. in any case, it won#t probably be automatic.

How to make custom icc color profile work as default for all users?

Hi!
I've calibrated two monitors for the machine running Mavericks OS X. I've managed to move these custom icc color profiles to ColorSync folder in HDD Library, so that that they are available for all the users. However, I cannot figure out how to make these icc profiles work as default profiles for all users and not only the one I used to calibrate monitors.
Is there a specific place I have to put custom icc profile to make it system default?
Thank you!

If you put the profiles in the root /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ folder, then each user needs to select them in their account. There isn't a way to apply them globally so each account automatically comes up that way.

How to make links different colors

I can't figure out how to make one link a different.

You need to define a set of link states (link, visted, hover, active) for each ID or class name required.
Let's say you want to have red links in your #header and white links in your #footer.
CSS:
#header a {text-decoration:none}
#header a:link {color:red}     /**unvisited**/
#header a:visited {color:gray} /**visited**/
#header a:hover,               /**on mouse over**/
#header a:active,              /**on click**/
#header a:focus                /**on tab key**/
    {text-decoration:underline}
#footer a {text-decoration:none}
#footer a:link {color:white}
#footer a:visited {color:yellow}
#footer a:hover,
#footer a:active,
#footer a:focus
    {text-decoration:underline}
HTML:
<div id="header">
<a href="some-link.html">Link in the header</a> |
<a href="some-link.html">Link in the header</a> |
<a href="some-link.html">Link in the header</a> |
</div>
<div id="footer">
<a href="some-link.html">Footer link</a> |

How to make a clean install of Mavericks over 10.4.11

Hey everyone,
I would like to make a clean install of Mavericks on mid-2007 MacBook Pro ([email protected], 2GB RAM) which currently runs 10.4.11. I already made bootable USB of Mavericks, which i downloaded with my MacBook Air.
When I insert USB and restart the computer the screen with the option "Install OS Mavericks" comes up but when I click on the icon nothing happens and computer just proceeds to boot into 10.4.11. If I try to run it from the desktop it says that Mavericks is not supported on this version of OS which doesn't surprise me. I've been searching around forums for a way to go about this problem and the general solution seems to be to buy some newer version of Mac OS and then proceed with the upgrade from there. But from what I can tell the reason why people are mainly recommending this option is because only then you can download Mavericks via AppStore, which I have already done.
So what I'm really asking is whether I can somehow install Mavericks without buying intermediate version of Mac OS first, given that I already have Mavericks downloaded? Would it be possible to just delete the whole hard drive with 10.4.11 on it and then make a clean install of Mavericks?

To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space
I would, STRONGLY, advise that you install more RAM into your MBP.
Also, while the minimum RAM spec for Mavericks is 2 GB. This is a minimum and NOT ideal working amount of RAM to be running OS X Mavericks.
To run Mavericks with some success, you need to install, at least, 4 GBs of or greater.
Your MBP year and model can take a total of 6 GBs of RAM max.
i advise purchasing and installing the full 6 GBs of RAM.
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
This RAM kit can be found here.

Good Luck!

How to make a clean spiral path in cs5

I have Photoshop CS5 Extended at work and am lucky to have it. (no hope of getting CS6 or any other Adobe products at the moment). Is there a technique or script to make a clean spiral (with a path--so I can apply a brush stroke) in CS5 WITHOUT using the shape tool spiral preset? I have learned one technique but it involves many steps and it is difficult to manage the correct size to the ratio of the curve of the spiral and it is not a path. Any direction would be appreciated.

Good links to those automators, Linc
As to why this is so difficult on OSX (as Cinthy asks), I've often wondered the same, and wondered why this seemingly simple feature hasn't been included on release after release of OSX. Well, I decided to stop expecting Apple to do something, and ponder their thought process, instead. I believe Apple doesn't like (hates) its users seeing a file path. They don't even want users thinking of the idea of a file system at all. This is the design philosophy of a company that's focused on consumer products-- and if the merging of OSX and iOS is any indication (Yosemite moves closer to this than any release so far, and reveals Apples future intentions), then I wouldn't expect to ever see this feature in any future release of OSX either. iOS and consumer devices are dictating the future of OSX, and unless we're willing to get geeky with automator solutions and such, this distinction (out-of-the-box, at least), will keep Windows dominating work environments, and OSX dominating consumer environments (at least such is Apple's goal and focus). Just my 2c..

How to make a one-color fill images with masks in documents from our multiple layers ?

Hello everyone!
I`m to open PSD document with same layers. I need to:
1. Save the jpg file (preview) in a certain place
2. All layers with masks to make one-color fill instead of images with masks.
Thanks
This is way ?
var theLayers = collectLayers(app.activeDocument, []);
alert (theLayers.join("\n"));
function collectLayers (theParent, allLayers) {//---------------------------------------------------
if (!allLayers) {var allLayers = new Array}
   else {};
   for (var m = theParent.layers.length - 1; m >= 0;m--) {
      var theLayer = theParent.layers[m];
      if (theLayer.typename == "ArtLayer") {
           var bar = new Array;
           bar = theLayer.bounds
           l0= Math.abs(this.app.activeDocument.width - theLayer.bounds[2] - theLayer.bounds[0]);
           l1= Math.abs(this.app.activeDocument.height -theLayer.bounds[3] - theLayer.bounds[1]);
            if((l0+l1)>0) { // layer mask is set
                // delete this layer
                //create new layer
                //create new mask from array bar
                //fill selection
            allLayers.push(theLayer);
   return allLayers

I may not quite follow.
Would you mind posting an example (a screenshot with the Layers Panel visible for example) and an overview of the resulting images you want to produce?

How to make Highlighted links color permanent?

Simply, for example, in Wikipedia, I clicked a link in their page to a different page, then that link would have been highlighted as "has been selected or clicked" with different color (in this case: purple), while links not have been clicked before are in blue.
The problem is after a few week, the links the I have previously visited before which should have been in purple turned blue again indicating that that I have not visited this link before (but I already have). This seemingly seems like the cache have been reseted or cleared. But I have not cleared any cache. This could also be that the cache is full but I have not set any limit on the amount of content.
So my question is, how do I ensure that the link that have been visited remain highlighted permanently for the font color so that I do not make the mistake of visiting the linked page again?

Note that your System Details List shows that you have obsolete, no longer supported, preferences from previous Firefox versions.
You can delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js and user.js files to reset all prefs to the default value or reset these prefs to the default value via the right-click context menu on the <b>about:config</b> page or edit the prefs.js file and remove related line(s).
Your System Details List also shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

Help! How to make background layer colored

Hi. I have been reading the help section but can't find my
answer. Hope someone can help me.
How do you make the background layer of an image COLORED?
Especially, how do you make the background a colored GRADIENT FILL?
For example, on layer #1 I have just an abstract design of shapes.
I want a background layer#2 to be a separate SOLID fill of color,
or a gradient fill.
The only way I have figured out how to remotely do this is if I draw
a rectangle, then stretch it out to edge of "canvas", then fill it w/color
but the edges never line up perfectly. Isn't there a better way? Thank you so much!

Thx for your quick reply.
Really? Wow, well that is good to know then. I used to use
Illustrator yrs. ago and now I am kind of re-learning it. I just remembered-
couldn't one create a layer, then select the "paint bucket" tool, pick a color,
then fill a background that way? Maybe I am thinking of Photoshop....

How to set PS for the most reliable image previews and how to make sure the color spaces are the same across plateforms

I've been having an ongoing problem with some of my images changing color/luminance values after merging or flattening an image. This seems to most often happen if I use one of the filters (like crosshatch or notepaper, not sharpen or blur). I can make a copy using command/option/shift + E which most often will look exactly like what's on screen.
Some people have suggested that it's to do with resolution, PS showing me a low resolution image but I don't think so because the histogram changes -- sometimes in a big way, but most often those spikes in the luminance levels are shaved off. Also, when I have the image open at 100% and effect a merge/flatten, the color changes.
I'd like to know if there's a way to have PS show me one for one what I'm working on while I'm working on it, or if there is a way to control the color profiles when I'm saving. My best guess at this point is that there is a color profile mismatch going on somewhere. I just don't know where to look for it.
Typically I work in 16 bit, so my color space is set to ProPhoto RGB; my camera is set to the Adobe color space;
color management policies are set to preserve color profiles;
conversion options --> intent is set to relative colorimetric.

But it is calibrated. I use Xrite 1 and update it every month (on the first).
The colors can be really off. Here's an example.
https://flic.kr/p/r6A1Zd (what I want) https://flic.kr/p/qc5QTD (not what I want)
Also, I can't see how the bit depth will have any effect since the change in color happens in PS when I merge or flatten. It's 8 bit through the editing and 8 bit when I flatten it.
Have you any suggestions on what I can do on the computer side?

How to make the font color of Tabs in LinkBar different

I'm using LinkBar with ViewStack. I want to make font color of one of the tabs different from rest of the tabs. Is it possible?
I checked the LinkBar's API and found that the color related attributes are for the all Tabs. There is no way to just set
the colors for only one specific Tab. Any suggestions? Thanks.

How To Make Shapes Change Colors When Clicking on them. Example Sheet Sales Data.xlsx template with Excel 2013

My question is related to the Sales Data.xlsx template that comes with Excel 2013
IN this workbook is a sheet named Sales Data. It has, 3 shapes. One each for each of the tab sheets in the workbook. When I click on the 'Sales Report' shape it selects the sales report tab. When you do this the shape changes color and the 'Sales Data' shape
also changes color.
However I'm unable to figure out how the colors are changing.
I don't see any macros in the workbook/worksheet. Nor do I see any code for worksheet events. I don't see any modules in VBA either. I think what is happening is that there are 2 shapes. When you click on one, the one shape goes to the background and the
other one comes to the foreground.
I'm no sure how it's doing that.
Can someone look at this template, Sales Data.xlsx that comes with Excel and explain how this functionality works?
Thank You
Keith Aul
Keith Aul

The shapes are exactly as I suspected, each of 3 sheets has 3 'navigation' shapes. The shape with the same name as the sheet has no hyperlink and is coloured differently to indicate it refers to the active sheet. The other two have hyperlinks linked to respective
sheets. 3x3 shapes, 9 in total, none of them ever change colour!
It's logical though not necessary to name each shape same as the sheet it links to, but they'd work just as well with their original default names.
For aesthetics, the shapes that refer to own sheet have a horizontal line on top, actually two shapes as a group.
If still confused copy each set of 3 shapes to a 4th sheet, or open two new windows so you can see all three sheets at the same time.
