How to make a suggestion to this list

I got a message to chose between helpful answer and correct.  There needs to be other options too like I don't know or it was not helpful, off the mark.
I get answers that seem right but when I try them I still cannot get it working.  Don't want to mislead anyone.
The answer on the Mavericks Mail signatures was right out of the hooklike but it would not work for me.
There is something missing in the way signature works, or it is too complicated as a piece of code or too tricky for novices to grasp.  Much of this computer world works fine for folks who have lot of experience at troubleshooting but for others of us without experience we miss steps that you all know by trial and error that worked for you in the past. 
For example even this support communities thing is not easy to figure out.  It took me a long time to get to this place to make a post and give a suggestion.  The back and forth is easy to follow, imo.  But thank for the help.

FYI, I doubt if "not helpful" will be implemented. One of the predecessors to ASC had a negative "box." The controversy created by that was not pretty. IMHO, only positive observations should be allowed.
I understand your comment that some of us "assume" things. Frankly, those of us that do have been around computing for a long time (and hopefully have learned things). In my own case, if I "assume" something and then the poster indicates they do not understand, I always try to give more detailed steps.
You may or may not realize it, but virtually all of us that try to help people here are not Apple employees - just volunteers.

  • How to make an avatar like this,

    Hello Adobe Community, i'm new here, i have a big question. I want to know HOW to make an avatar like this:
    I want to know how to do that effect that who zoom in and zoom out etc. WITHOUT SNOWING, only that effect, if you can help me please!
    That zoom effect is AWESOME... send me a tutorial please!

    I thought you said you knew how to make animated gif.  A frame is the composite of the layers that have their visibility on for the frame a frame may be made using many layers. You use tools and filters on layers.You make frame using layers.
    Photoshop also supports any size layer. Layers can be  larger the canvas size can have image data out side the canvas.  Layer image data position above can be move relative to the canvas.  The Cloud logo animation has two layer one is masked is masked the mask is not linked to the layers image data it stationary over the canvas and is more on less a masks more foe the background canvas then the layer its on. The layer it is on image data is more off canvas then over canvas. Photoshop also notes layer position in a frame information, A layer potion can be change from frame to frame. I only create two frame for that animation.  The first and last frame, The first frame I had the top late image JJMACK high and off canvas to the left.  The last frame had it low and off canvas to the right. I then had Photoshop generate 138 frames between the two frames I created.  So Photoshop moved the top layer position across the canvas  left to right and high to low direction and the stationary layer mask masked it as if it were going through the background layers clouds.  The two layers are visible in all frames.

    Assuming IEInJava only uses classes inside the jdic jar, this is one way. D:\java\browser\IEInJava> jar cf yourjar.jar IEInJava.classThen to run it you would use D:\java\browser\IEInJava> java -cp jdic.jar;yourjar.jar IEInJavaAnother way would use the jar manifest file to specify the Main-Class and Class-Path.

  • How to make color tone like this?

    I'd like to find out how to make similar "color tone" effect like this:
    http://www.horror-movies.ca/watermark.php?filename=poster_THE_SITTER_2D_ORING.jpg
    I'm talking about those striking "artificial" skin tones you can see on many movie posters (or advertising/fashion posters). For example:
    http://www.impawards.com/2008/posters/curious_case_of_benjamin_button_ver3.jpg
    http://www.impawards.com/2008/posters/tropic_thunder_ver4.jpg

    http://www.impawards.com/tv/posters/dexter_ver2.jpg
    http://www.impawards.com/2008/posters/hellboy_two_ver2.jpg
    I don't know how to describe it (sorry, english is not my first language), but I like the way the color on the skin affects only certain tones. I hope you understand what I'm talking about :) I tried to play with layer blending (BW + color balance of shadows)... but I never manage to do something like this. I suppose it has to be a common technique, sice I see it on so may posters and photos. Does anybody have some advice? Thanks!

    Alan,
    The links you posted seem to suggest the effect you are after may be the result of luminance masking, perhaps coupled with a knockout layer to protect the eyes. Try this procedure:
    (a) Duplicate the background layer CTRL + J (and perhaps rename it Blur as that helps to emphasise the purpose of the new layer).
    (b) With the new Blur layer active, from the Menu bar choose Filter/Blur/Gaussian blur about 20% for starters each image may require slight variations to this amount.
    (c) Turn off the visibility of the new Blur layer and select/make active the Background layer.
    (d) Go to Channels Palette and CTRL click on the Red channel. Return to the Layers Palette. Turn visibility of new Blur layer back on and select it.
    (e) With the new Blur layer active, click the Add layer mask button at the bottom of the Layers Palette this adds the Luminosity Mask to this layer and results in seeing the Gaussian blur now only inside the lightest (50%) details of the image. Now change the Blend Mode of this layer from Normal to Overlay. If the effect seems too strong, try the Soft Light blend mode which is less severe. If you want a greater effect than Overlay delivers, try Linear Light. You can back off the effect of any of these blend modes with the Opacity slider but that would, I think, also back off the amount of Blur, which may or may not (depending upon the image) lessen the overall effect you are aiming for.
    (f) Next comes the Knockout Layer (KL) to remove the effect of these Blur and Blend Mode edits from the eyes. The KL must be on top of the Blur layer, so make the Blur layer active and then add a new transparent layer above it - CTRL + Shift + N and name it Knockout.
    (g) On the new KL, select the eyes with the Elliptical Marquee Tool (select too much rather than too little reason follows later) and fill the selection with Black ALT + Backspace (provided Foreground Colour in Tools Palette is Black). Then deselect the eyes CTRL + D.
    (h) Bring up the Layer Style dialog box (LSDB) by double clicking on the icon for the KL. In the LSDB change Knockout from None to Shallow and reduce Fill Opacity from 100 to zero % and click OK which dismisses the LSDB. That is it you have now eliminated the effects of the Blur layer on the eyes using the Black holes on the KL.
    (i) To remove any excess eye selection, you use the Eraser tool (set to about 50% hardness) and paint around the edges of the eyes with the Eraser tool what this is doing is reducing the size of the holes in the KL and bringing back the effects of the edits from the Blur layer.

  • How to make icon_checkbox enable in ALV list

    Hi,
    I am using the checkbox icon (icon_checkbox) to write into my ALV by using this FM REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY.
    The output of the ALV will be like this:-
    header-                        | Col A    | Col B      | Col C      | Col D
    line item1-                     chkbox   1               456          789
    line item2-                     chkbox   2               xyz          kkk
    The first coloumn (Col A) is the checkbox.
    I am facing problem when using icon_checkbox to display it at the ALV. Currently my checkbox is showing all check in all item and I can't check and uncheck it.
    My question is:
    1. Is it possible to make the checkbox enable/editable by writing the icon_checkbox?
    2. How to make the checkbox enable/editable?
    Thanks for your time for reading this. Let me know if more info is needed.

    This can be done one of two ways:
    1. Customize the form in Infopath, right click your field and disable the control.
    2. Use JavaScript/jQuery on the page to disable the element.

  • How to make a photo like this? (footballer)

    Dear All,
    I am enclosing a photo that I found in the Internet. This is a footballer photo.
    May I know how I can make a photo like this in terms of color and texture in Photoshop? Many thanks!
    Best regards,
    Keith

    What you'll want to do is pick a photo with something like a person or an animal in the foreground. Then, use the Lasso tool to trace around the outside. Separate the person and the background into two or more layers, depending on how much you want to change. Up the saturation on the background, and apply a blur under the filter menu. It might just be the angle the photo was taken from, but they could have possibly added a light effect behind him as well. As for the guy, it looks like they upped the contrast and lowered brightness. Since i don't know from what angle the photo was taken, those are the only effects I can say were most likely used.
    Hope this helps,
    Cole

  • I've tried every online tutorial for timer.delay + experimented... how to make it work in this sitch

    Hey,
    I've read literally every single timer.delay tutorial I could find online, on youtube, the official documentation, tons of posts on this forum, etc. What I am trying to say is I looked everywhere before posting for help.
    I have a timer running. It runs throughout the game. I need to modify the speed of that timer when a player either hits a certain second(won't work, because the timer is already running) or when someone gets a certain score(can't get it to work, because timer is running).... so my question is how do I get timer.delay to work when the timer is running throughout the entire game. I tried to control the delay by when someone gets a point, but that didn't work either. I am using a trace statement so I see the seconds and the timer speed. the code looks something like
    randomvariable = new Timer(2000,8);
    timer.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loop);
    timer.start();
    function loop
    // my looping code here
    What I posted is psuedo code.
    Any ideas on how to make the timer go faster without delay, since I can't get delay to work under the circumstances I explained? Or is there a work around that I don't know about? I will try to give back to the forums by answering other questions. Oh, I am running this on the timeline, not in a .as file. Thanks so much for your help!

    That's what I thought. I thought if I set a delay inside the function or in an if statement for the var that  prints out  the timer decrease that it would work. It doesn't. I'm using Adobe AIR for IOS, but I doubt that makes a difference in this case. I write timer.delay=500; that should make the timer go at 500 milliseconds. My trace shows the amount of milliseconds didn't change throughout the application. It is quite bothersome, since everything else works and every guide and the docs say what I am doing should work. Any ideas?
    Thanks.
    Sincerely,
    Ryan Satterfield

  • How to make a website like this

    Does anyone know a good publication or training DVD that will
    quickly teach me how to make websites like this:
    http://blusites.com/adam/
    I've been taking a flash course through a local college and
    all they teach me is how to do stupid animal animations, animated
    gifs etc... I'm dropping the class hoping that I can teach myself
    and not waste anymore time
    Thanks!

    Personally, why pay to view linda.com videos when you can
    access all the videos you could want for free at
    http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/
    I'm not crazy about the videos anywhere because I might have
    to watch them again and again, but some of the videos have a
    tutorial and a file to download.
    If you're the type that you like to do all you can before
    going to a forum, then you can do these things:
    1. I don't know if you have Adobe Creative Suite 3, but if
    you want to make websites with flash, you will need the program.
    2. I like the flash movie at
    http://blusites.com/adam/blu1.swf,
    but believe it or not, it's a very simple movie. The photographs
    are supplied by a professional photographer, and the flash movie is
    simple.
    3. If you already know how to make movies using Flash, then
    get yourself an Advanced Flash book to to learn faster and become a
    better flash creator. Flash CS3 uses ActionScript 2.0 and 3.0. You
    might like to get a book on ActionScript 3.0 to learn faster.
    You can and will learn faster and better if you take the time
    to do 2. and 3.
    There is a ton of Flash Tutorials at Adobe and other
    websites, do a search and you'll get so many sites it could take
    years to visit them all.
    good luck, hope this helps

  • How to make "Mail Contents os this page" in safari 7?

    Hi everybody,
    I need for my daily work to make once or twice a day an upload of an mailing PNG picture. Bevor the upgrade to Maverick Safari 7 I used the safari version 5.1.10 which works great to make "Mail contents of this page" (File Menu > Mail Contents of this file). Now in the Safari 7 version this option is not anymore available and it is change to SHARE "Email this page". This is not the some and it does not match the legal proposing.
    I appreciate as answer for a good solution or which steps shoud I do to get this option again.
    Thx a lot

    Hi Carolyn,
    Thanks a lot for your help and sorry for the inconvenience. I follow your instruction but it is still not working.
    I tried to use now another Mac which I have here, with Mac system 10.6.8, where I use the safari version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10) and it works perfect.
    Here are the screenShots:
    The screenshot from the older computer: here you see the option Mail contents of this page.
    Using that older Mac we have the perfect result, where you see the legal text + images, which i sent to me in bcc.
    The result from my Mac with Maverick and after following the instruction:
    You see the full legal text but no the image!
    Maybe this is just a minor bug in Safari, to exploring yet and to improve. For the meantime I have to use the older Mac only for this part of the job. Not A PERFECT DAY (lou reed, RIP) but not the end of the world!
    Thanks for you help and I´m looking forward to get news on this issue from you.
