How to make the eyedropper sample non-transparent color of a transparant layer?

I have an image of a flower I am trying to paint.
I put the flower as the top layer at 50% opacity to use as a guide.
Then I am trying to paint on a layer below that.
I would like to be able to use the eyedropper on the original image but for it to pick up the full color and not the %50 opacity version of the color.
I saw this done in a demo but can't seem to figure it out.
I tried setting the eyedropper options to "All layers no adjustments" but it's still only picking up the lighter version of the color.
Any suggestions?

Another option might be to make a fully transparent layer on top to paint on, and get your color from a fully opaque layer below.  I have painted with the Mixer Brush quite effectively this way, though it's not incredibly speedy.

  • Signing pdf dokuments with the Microsoft Surface pen. How to make the signature a non-editable part of the file?

    Hi!
    I have purchased a Microsoft Surface PRO 3. One main reason for the purchase is to sign pdf´s with the Surface-pen on the screen, save the file and avoid paper-printing the documents. Problem is however that the signature doesnt become a solid part of the document when saving it. This makes the signatures randomly not visible on some apple-produkcts, some printers etc.
    I use only a free-download-version of the Adobe reader.My question is if a pro-version allow me to save the documents with the electronic signatures as a fixed part of the document - like the rest of the pdf-content?
    Regards Trygve Wedset 

    Hi vward26,
    You can use Acrobat to make only part of a PDF document editable.

    hai dharani,
    1.create a context attribute o type boolean and bind it to the ui elements enable property.
    2.use the following code to set the enable to false.

  • How to make the filter panel non-folder specific in Bridge CS6

    It seems that the filter panel is folder specific. You click on a folder and only some filters pop up depending on what folder you are looking at and what info is in the photos (I don't know if this refers to tags or not). Assuming I am right. This is my problem. I go to my main folder where all other folders and subfolder with photos within them are placed. I want to look at my "Ratings" 5 starts, 4 stars and so forth. In other words I am looking for (searching for), in this case, all those photos I have labeled with 5 stars. But no such tab/filter exists in my main folder. Why? How do I perform such a task(look for all 5-star photos I have--and also zero stars, those yet to be labelled)?
    OS: WIndows 7 Home Premium 64bit
    Thank you

    The filter panel is a shortcut for the content panel and it only effects the content of that window. So if you have a folder it will only see this as a folder and not with its content. (a Stack behaves about the same, being different in only counting the first file in the filter panel criteria but not what is in the stack itself)
    You have a view work arounds, first is use menu view / show items from subfolders (this can take some time especially if you have not used caching before on this content) and this builds visible thumbs for all content and that can be used for filtering.
    Or use the find command (Edit / find) and inhere specify the source and fill in the criteria include subfolders and this will give you the correct result.
    When you create a smart collection the find command also pops up given you the same opportunity to get the results in a collection, but since a collection is only a bunch of aliases referring to the originals you might be a bit careful with editing and deleting.

  • How to make the custom field enable/disable in ME21n/ME22n/ME23n trans

    Hi Experts,
    I need help.
    I have created one custom field in the transaction ME21n/ME22n/ME23n under customer data 2 tab. But my problem is the field is always in enable (means editable only)  even in Display mode. How to make the field is non editable in display mode and editable in change mode.
    I have tried by putting some logic to make that field to change alternatively according to change/display button. And it is working fine but if we click any othe button , this field is becoming editable even in display mode.
    How to make this field to behave as standard fields?

    If you have BADI implimented for custom tabs then you can do this in method ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST~FIELDSELECTION_ITEM
    lv_changeable = im_header->is_changeable( ).
      LOOP AT ch_fieldselection ASSIGNING <fs>
        IF lv_changeable IS INITIAL.

  • How to make the TARGET of clone stamp 2 simultaneous layers?

    Does anyone know how to make the TARGET of the clone stamp, multiple simultaneous layers? Or maybe more accurately, how to clone stamp the top layer and have the layer underneath doing the exact same cloning simultaneously. Or maybe a workaround? I've tried linking the layers, and multiple layer selection with no joy.
    Here is what I'm trying to do. I'm duplicating a layer, then applying LucisArt to one of the layers to greatly exaggerate local contrast. Though I'm not using LucisArt as the final, I want to use it to assist in smoothing blotchy skies, banding, and finding hidden camera sensor dust spots.
    I want to clone stamp on the LucisArt layer so I can watch my progress, but also have the underlying layer doing the exact clone stamping at the same time. Thanks ... Aaron

    Thanks everyone.
    Dennis, You are correct. I know how to selectively apply the LucisArt filter, that's not what I'm looking for. I want my end result to have NO LucisArt effect at all. I'm trying to use the LucisArt layer to drastically exaggerate flaws such as camera sensor dust, AND I want to correct these flaws on the LucisArt layer where they are obvious. The LucisArt layer is only for reference. But the trick is to get CS3 to do to the non LucisArt layer, exactly what I did to the LucisArt layer.
    So imagine I have this otherwise nice photo, but the photographer (this happened) had an amazingly dirty sensor. Half of the dust spots I can hardly see, but the client wants it super clean. So I duplicate the layer so I have two exactly the same. I then apply a strong LucisArt filter the top layer which reveals all the spots including many I couldn't see on the original layer. I'd like to fix all these spots with the clone stamp tool on the LucisArt layer where I can see them easily, then toss that layer. The original below would have all those spots fixed, but sampled from it's own layer and stamped to it's own layer.
    As it is, I can click the LucisArt layer on, place my finger on the spot, then turn that layer off and hopefully see the spot and remove it from the layer underneath. Very tedious indeed.

  • Feature request: make the "transform" dialogs non-modal

    Currently, the transformation dialogs accessible at Object>Transform are modal. I'm talking about "Move…", "Rotate…", "Reflect…", and so forth. These dialogs, when open, lock the user out of any interaction with the artboard other than the "preview" button, until the dialog is closed.
    Even more problematically, they lock the scroll and zoom factor of the current user view, so that there's no way to inspect how a precise numeric adjustment affects a part of the layout outside the current window (or within the current window but very small inside it) without committing the change, inspecting it, and then later undoing if necessary. This creates cycles of tedious user adjustments (especially on small monitors) that really should be possible in one user step, by toggling the preview button on and off, and zooming/scrolling.
    This is contrary to most modern UI design principles, which suggest avoiding modes unless they are truly and meaningfully necessary. I don't think this is one of those cases. Photoshop made dialogs for adjustment layers non-modal with CS4, and while there are issues with the newer interface (see John Nack's Configurator workaround), I think it's a win overall. Illustrator needs to catch up in this regard. I realize there is some pretty serious refactoring involved to do this, but it has to be do-able.
    In the words of Larry Tesler's immortal Subaru license plate: "NO MODES"!

    ...make the "transform" dialogs non-modal...
    What, and bring Illustrator out of the 1980s?! Are you mad, man?
    Just so you know you're not alone; I've been complaining about AI's archaic dependency upon modal dialogs for many years.
    ...I'm fully aware of the Transform panel...observing that there's another way to do it...doesn't really address any of my points here...
    But it's not "another way to do it," because the functionality is not the same. The modal dialogs include crucial functionality that cannot be done in the Transform palette. For example, moving something in terms of distance and direction (diagonally), instead of merely by lame X and Y factors. Or transforming about an off-object center of transformation, rather than merely by the 9-point proxy.
    ...the "preview" isn't updated on keyboard entry, and the "preview" checkbox need to be manually toggled on and off...
    But the preview does refresh (and does not have to be toggled) in response to keyboard entry if that keyboard entry is by the arrow keys. For example: Select something, doubleClick the Scale tool, click your cursor in the Uniform value field, and tap the up/down arrow keys (or press and hold them). The value will increment and the preview will update with each key tap. (Be sure to teach that to your students.)
    That does not, of course, negate the complaint, but it does ameleorate it somewhat. The increments are preset; there are no preference settings for them. (Don't even get me started on preferences that should be doc-specific settings, and vice-versa).
    Nor does the valid point that problematic dialogs abound beyond just those associated with the transform tools, but I do agree with it. For just one of many examples, it's nothing short of idiotic that the Scale fields of Transform Each do not have a uniform scaling lock, and that only percentage fields are provided and no explicit dimension fields. Illustrator is quite saturated with such inconsistencies and half-baked implementations.
    But...you're often arguing with the emotionally attached Illustrator devoted here. So I wouldn't recommend holding your breath. It would probably be more effective teaching Illustrator's shortcomings to your beginning students. Probably one of the easiest ways to explain the problem of modal dialogs is to point out that you can't change the current selection with the dialog open.

  • Disabling fields(Make the field as non-editable)  in webdynpro ALV

    HI All,
    I have a requirement in the ABAP webdynpro where I have to disable(Make the field as non-editable) the field(or that ALV cell alone)  in the ALV after the user has inputed in that field.
    Is it possible, if yes, could you please give me some sample code , or links to which I can refer to.
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards,
    Subash M

    Hi,
    Use the following approach :
    1. Create an ALV and create an inputfield cell editor for the column that you want to make editable/disable.Refer this tutorial for creating an [Editable ALV|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/3133474a-0801-0010-d692-81827814a5a1]
    2. Now under the same node create an attribute EDITABLE type boolean and bind this to the readonly property of the input field. Include the following code while creating Input field for binding.
    lr_input_field->set_read_only_fieldname( 'EDITABLE' ).
    3. Now implement the onDataCheck event or OnCellAction event and pass abap_true to this attibute to make the cell readonly/disable.Refer this tutorial for [Events in ALV|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/bd28494a-0801-0010-45a3-fc359d82d3e8]

  • How to make the main() thread wait?

    I would like to know how to make the main() thread wait for another thread?If I use wait() method in main() method it says "non-static method wait() cannot be referenced from a static context",since main()
    is static.

    Here is an example how you may wait for a Thread in the main -
    but be careful, this is no real OO:
    public class WaitMain {
    // this is the thread class - you may also create
    // a runnable - I use a inner class to
    // keep my example simple
         public static class ThreadWait extends Thread{
              public void doSomething(){
                   synchronized(syncObject){
                        System.out.println("Do Something");
                        syncObject.notify();
              public void run(){
                   // sleep 10 seconds - this is
                   // a placeholder to do something in the thread
                   try{
                        sleep(10000);
                        doSomething();
                        sleep(10000);
                   catch(InterruptedException exc){
    // this is the object we wait for -
    // it is just a synchronizer, nothing else
         private static Object syncObject = new Object();
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              System.out.println("This will start a thread and wait for \"doSomething\"");
              ThreadWait t= new ThreadWait();
              t.start();
              synchronized(syncObject){
                   try{
    // this will wait for the notify
                        syncObject.wait();
                        System.out.println("The doSomething is now over!");

  • How to make the strength of my powerbook wireless stronger?

    hi, im using powerbook g4 12inch and my friend is using ibook.
    my problem is she can get stronger signal than mine. for instance, she can get 4 networks and i only have one or none network listed. and another example is that she could get full range 4/4 and mine is only like 2/4?
    i hope you can help me solve this problem because im using alot of wireless for my projects. and this disturbs me because even in my home i have trouble connecting in the kitchen when my router is at my bedroom nearby!
    anyway, i read somewhere that the support people ask a guy to open the network/airport card and do something like pressing it for 10sec?? and his airport card is stronger than before (he claims), but he did not provide enough details, info for the procedure. so i thought i might get more help here?
    so anyone knows a way of how to make the strength of my wireless stronger?
    much thanks!

    Perhaps the advice was to make sure that the cable or card is firmly connected/seated. Here's some documentation on how to do that.
    Historically, iBooks have had better AirPort reception than metallic PowerBooks due to the signal travelling better through plastic than titanium or aluminum. My 12" PowerBook has little plastic edges to allow better reception. I don't recall when these were added.
    Right now, I'm able to connect to my router in my bedroom from the living room. In the past, it was pretty spotty, but I think an update fixed that. I can also see several nearby wireless networks.

  • How to make the calculation or formula in bottom of the coloum

    How to make the calculation or formula in bottom of the coloum in Discoverer report.
    Regadrs
    Manikandan

    Hi Ros
    You have a couple of issues, one that is simple to resolve and one that is not so simple.
    First, the simple one - the word TOTAL. To alter the word that Discoverer inserts next to a total, or to even remove the word altogether, use this workflow:
    1. Right-click on the total and from the pop-up menu select Edit Total
    2. At the bottom right-hand corner of the Edit Total dialog box is the area where the label is maintained. You will see a checkbox for the label
    3. If you uncheck the label you can change the label to anything you like, including nothing
    4. After you have set the label, click OK and close the Edit Total dialog box
    Note: In Desktop, this is done via a drop-down from the Total dialog box. If you click the drop-down, the last item in the list is called Generate Label Automatically. If you uncheck this you can create your own label.
    Your second issue concerning the non-totaling of the grand total on some items means that there is something preventing one or more of the totals from calculating. First of all, try to determine which item or items is causing the problem by adding individual totals to each of the desired columns. You will eventually find the column which has the culprit. If you use the above workflow to suppress the display of any labels your total line will look as though you have totaled all items.
    Next, having found the column that will not total, try to figure out why the values will not add up. Could the column be a calculated item? If so, it is possible that you have used SUM on the outside of the calculation, like this:
    SUM(some item - some other item) - this will not total if the original items themselves are in the query and are also being summed. This is because you are mixing aggregate and detail items within the total.
    Try changing the formula like this:
    SUM(some item) - SUM(some other item) and see if this helps.
    If this is not the cause then try changing the formula for that column's total to CELL SUM instead of SUM. This causes Discoverer to literally add the values in the column.
    If this is not the cause, could you possibly be trying to total repeated values? By default, this is disabled in the later versions of Discoverer. The repeated values will be caused if you have multiple joins in your query and the item that you are totaling is from the many end of a one to many relationship. Suppose you had items from a header table and line table in the same worksheet with there being multiple lines for the same header, and now let's say you have a column which is returning something from the header. That value will get repeated and if you try to total it would generate the wrong answer, hence out of the box Discoverer is trying to protect you from yourself.
    However, it could be that the column really should be totaled but because Discoverer has detected a one to many join it will not total that column. To prove that this is the reason, change the join from a one to many to a one to one. Don't worry, this won't stop the query from working. If this allows the total to work then you can either leave the join as it is with a one to one, which won't harm Discoverer or you can edit the pref.txt on the server and change one of the preferences.
    The preference I would change is called AllowAggregationOverRepeatedValues. By default this is disabled and will be set to 0. Changing this to a 1 will now tell Discoverer that repeated values can now be totaled. Don't forget to apply the preferences correctly by execiting applypreferences.bat, on Windows or applypreferences.sh, in Linux or Unix, and then stopping and restarting the Discoverer server.
    I hope this helps
    Best wishes

  • Anyone have any ideas of how to make the battery on the iphone5 last longer?

    Anyone have any ideas of how to make the battery on the iphone5 last longer? I don't use the phone that much and the battery does not last all day. Phone is new.

    Many suggestions can be found here
    1. turn off push email and use fetch or manual fetch instead.
    2. turn off or at least limit notifications
    3. limit use of apps that use location services (eg. maps app - heavy power useage when running).
    4. in General->About->Diagnostics & Usage, turn off Automatic sending.
    5. Privacy->Location Services->System Services, disable everything (none of it need be running for normal use).
    6. Wifi, turn off "Ask to Join Networks" so your device is not polling all open networks it finds.
    7. keep brightness as low as you can get by with.
    Finally, get a car charger, and a second charger for work/school and just plug in whenever it is convenient to do so.
    Or, if it suits your daily routine better, get an external battery power brick or case and charge it periodically from that.
