How to minimize picture to a certain amount of color shades?

I am working on a piece of pixelated artwork. Each pixel is a certain shade of grey. I need to be able to minimize the shade count to about 5. So, every pixel that is light grey will be all the same shade and so on. Get it? Any thoughts on how to do this? I would be able to use both Illustrator and Photoshop with this.
Thanks

You can either try an Posterize Adjustment Layer, but this will probably not provide good results.
Another option is to change Image – Mode to Indexed Color, choose Custom Palette, set Colors to 6 and edit those. (see screenshot)
Dither None might be a better fit though.

  • I have made a book of my I Photo pictures. In certain layouts there is a textframe. How can I avoid the frame becoming visible in the print if I don't want to write anything? Should I just leave it or should I delete the text "Write your text here" ?

    I have made a book of my iPhoto pictures. In certain layouts there is a text frame. How can I avoid the frame becoming visible in the print if I don't want to write anything?  Should I just leave it untouched or should I delete the instructing text "Write your text here"?

    Most pages have layouts for pictures only or pictures with text boxes. Either select the same layout for that page but the one without the text box or put a space in the text box.
    Putting a space in the text box will avoid getting the warning when ordering that there's an unfilled text box in the book. The box will not be visible in the final product.  You can and should check the book before ordering by previewing it as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it

  • Iphoto Stream does not take in concideration the time zone. How to add a certain amount of hours on a Stream automaticly downloaded into Iphoto?

    Hi,
    I am just back from my holidays with few friends... We were in a Time Zone +6. I have created a Photo stream for everyone to share their photo on the same place. It worked. Back @ my place, I downloaded those photos localy on my laptop to be able to close the Stream. Those picts has the perfect time. In the same time I got all my picts that are automaticly streamed into Iphoto as well ... Here is my problem : I want to had the Picture that I have not streamed into the commun stream to my local event (from my own automatic stream) ... Those have been uploaded with my laptop local time !!! So I have 6 hours difference ! ...
    Is there a way to add 6 hours to all my pictures or should I import manualy my pictures from my phone to Iphoto ? (Picts are Ok into my phone).
    It is kind of an hugly bug: I think that this streaming option is actully really useful when you are in holidays ... so kind of often in an other time zone !
    Thx for the support !

    You e missing somthing - the adjust time and date command is specfially designed to corect tim fo camera mis-settings or time zone - you selec a roup of photo off by a certain amount and it adds the same delta to all thereby quickly an dsimply correcing user camera setting errors or user time zone errors
    It does exactly what you ask for - the batch change command does not work for this by=ut the adjust time command does

  • Does the computer lock me after a certain amount of failed password attmepts, even when i finally have the correct password? recently changed root account password, but then forgot today and when tried again didn't work.  if so, how long does lock last?

    Ok. So I just changed my ADMINISTRATIVE ROOT PASSWORD the other day and when I tried to log in today I forgot it.  I tried different variations of
    the password I had set, because I wasn't sure if i had maybe set it in Caps Lock or used a different number in the sequence.  I got the message several times
    about "too many attempts, try again later".  Does the computer lock me from signing in even with the correct password after a certain amount of failed
    attempts?  If so, how long does this lock last for?  When can I try again?  Or is there something I need to do to remove that lock now?  I'm pretty sure I
    had the right password finally but it still wouldn't accept it. 
    Also, I don't have any other administrative users set up on my macbook pro.  I'm the only one who uses it, so I've always just used that original User from my
    original setup.

    Do this:
    1. Reboot
    2. Hold apple key + s key down after you hear the chime. (command + s on newer Macs)
    3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
    (Type these commands very carefully)
    mount -uw /
    rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    shutdown -h now
    4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can change the passord on the old one.

  • How do you picture a Mentor?

    Dear SCNer,
    I would like to hear your opinion about the SAP Mentors program. I would like to know what are your expectations - to learn if you think the Mentors meet your expectations and if not, what could we do to improve it and much more (well, we will most probably will not be able to change the mentors, but can improve the ways how people think about the Mentors and their purpose).
    I had my own expectations during the months here on SCN and now I know how out of truth they were. Took me weeks and months, thread, blogs, emails and comments to understand how it works, what is the purpose (and how it differs from my initial picture). Now I wonder if the picture how people (fellow SCNers) think about the Mentors and how the Mentors think about themselves match together.
    Thank you for any comments, time and effort you put into the comment and your SCN engagement,
    regards Otto

    Well, Otto - seems the thread has gotten a bit long, so why should I be shy about adding to the length? Length seems to be quite common with yours since many times you pose u201Chuman interaction or interest topicsu201D.  I am quite a lurker because I like to hold off before entering comments to see where a discussion is leading and how sustained it is before jumping in and providing another cut on the topic.  I think I have seen a good amount here and maybe by putting my two cents into the pot it will be somewhat valuable...
    I am a bit more active than most in the SAP B1 Forums and have started doing a few blogs; let's say "stretching the wings" a bit.  To be honest, I cannot provide any input or feedback as to how I picture a Mentor for the following reasons...:
    Even though I have used the forums for some time, I am not versed well enough to understand what a Mentor is supposed to be or to do as established by the folks who started the Mentor program.  You said yourself it took you months to understand it.  Sorry, but I just do not have the time to do that u2013 a search produced 416 entries.  Went to Wiki, but it is down,  LOL u2013 I have got to do some catching up for the SAP B1 world in the blogging area!  So, where does one find the definitive word of what a Mentor is?  Providing that single piece of information might be a good starting point to your discussion because folks could say u201COK, Mentor is A and I feel as if it might be good for them to be G alsou201D.  If there is nowhere to find that information, fine, because all of this is voluntary and it leads to the next question of...
    Is there even a requirement for a Mentor to do anything at all in order to become or to stay being a Mentor?  Maybe they are just recognized as being very knowledgeable folks in their areas, and that is great to know they have a lot of knowledge, but what kind of actions (or interactions) could I as a semi-newbie expect or anticipate or request from the Mentors?  As an u201Coutsideru201D (non-mentor or non-mentee), I do not feel comfortable commenting on how I would picture a Mentor, unless I knew if there are even any requirements.  Which leads to a comment of...
    I am sure I do not understand the overriding idea of how the Mentors think of themselves.  I picture a Mentor as being one entity and they might picture themselves completely different.  A Mentor seems (emphasize seems) to be one who is seen as being a great asset to SAP's communities and sometimes takes the time to post blogs, answer a lot of questions in the forums, because...
    It is interesting to see how a discussion here has again turned into quite a bit of talk about the forums and has centered itself around some pretty common topics on the forums (u201Cparasitesu201D or u201Cthe qualityu201D or u201Clurkersu201D - Yikes!  Like Me!).  Since the forum is such a highly used area of SAP,  I would think that the Mentor, by virtue of receiving the u201Clemon statusu201D in SAP, would be one person who would be concerned about how the forums are being used.  I know this is not to be a discussion about forums, but it does add a viewpoint to it because...

    pdf file is too big (7MB). Need a pdf file with max size 4MB. How to minimize the size of a pdf file?

    The other alternative is the Save As Other>Reduce File Size. The PDF Optimizer gives you more control. You might also use the audit feature in the PDF Optimizer to see where the size problem is coming from. You might find that in the WORD file you can select and image and then go to the FORMAT (pictures) menu and select compress for all of the bitmaps in the file. That will typically use 150 dpi by default that is adequate for most needs.

  • How to minimize window into the system tray icon

    Hi,
    I tried to fin how to minimize the application main window into the right down corner (system tray bar) only as an icon cause I don't want to have it on main bar.
    Thx for any ideas.
    Wenca

    I've already done that, some years ago.
    Sorry, but I cannot give you the code, cause it has vanished after a few (!!!) system re-installations ;)
    But this was the main idea:
    - make a jni-dll
    - inside the dll, get the handle to the window you want to minimize
    - alter that window's properties
    It's rather easy, once you've avoided all pitfalls. I'll suggest http://www.codeproject.com , they've certainly some tutorials on minimizing to the system tray.

  • Continuous averaging for a certain amount of time

    Hi
    In my program I have to use a start button to continuously average a value for a certain amount of time(lets say 3s) and keep and show the average the value. The state of the start button should return to off mode after that 3 sec so if the user hit the start button again it reset the array and calculate the average again.
    Would you please help me with this program. I have attached pic of what I ahev done
    With this vi I can take data after hitting start for 3 sec but I have these problems:
    1- I don't know how to calculate average value when finish getting data after 3 sec
    2- I would like the start button back to off mode after 3 sec so if I click on the start button again it reset the array and calculate the average again.

    Use mean function to average an array. And wire your time has elapsed boolean to a case structure and reinitialise your boolean control to default in the true case.
    Create invoke node as below, just in case you dont know.
