How to Rotating the Bulge effect.... Stumped

I was looking at a tutorial
http://library.creativecow.net/articles/rabinowitz_aharon/displacement1/video-tutorial.php
on using the displacement effect. I started experimenting on my own using the Bulge effect to animate the layer that is to be used as the displacement source. If you want to follow exactly what I was working with, it was number 4, the Expand Output composition.
I applied the bulge effecty to the Test Layer with the setting of Horizontal Radius 33; Vertical Radius 167, and a Bulge Height of 4. I animated the effect by setting keyframes for the Bulge Center. Then I duplicated the effect and changed the Horizontal Radius to 33 and the Vertical Radius to 167. What I ended up with was a + (Plus sign) looking shape that animated over the layer, which is what I wanted. I precomposed the layer and used it as the displacement map layer.
But then I wanted the rotate the Plus sign so that it would be like and "X" instead. but there is no way to adjust for that in the Bulge controlls. So I applied the Transform effect to the Test Layer to rotate it but I rotates the whole layer including the word Test, I got the X shape that I was looking for but I did not want to put the Test on a 45 degree slant.
Any suggestions on how to rotate the Bulge effect. I thought that it may have something to do with the Pin All Edges, I didnt see anything change with it on or off.

Unfortunately there is no intuitive way to do this. It's one more time where you will have to pre-compose. Rotatte the footage in teh pre-comp, apply the bulge on top of it using an adjustment layer. Put the pre-comp in teh main comp, then un-rotate it. I believe that will give you the kind of distortion I think you are looking for.

I NEED A SOLUTION ON HOW TO UNLOCK THE AFTER EFFECT "Action Trailer.aep"

I NEED A SOLUTION ON HOW TO UNLOCK THE AFTER EFFECT File, "Action Trailer.aep"

We seriously don't have enough information to help you.
What do you mean by "unlock"?
My wild, shot-in-the-dark guess is that you've got some sort of template that, when you try to save, says that it's locked. If that's the case, try using "Save As" instead. If that's not your problem, refer to Todd's link and provide more info.

How to create the droste effect in photoshop cc 2014?

In the past you could use pixel bender to create the droste effect, that is what I have found out from the internet.
But how to create that effect today seams non existent on the net!
Can any one help?
KR,
AJ

Right. Pixel Bender is gone. It was an experimental filter available from Adobe Labs but never made it into an actual product release. As of CS6, Oil Paint filter was introduced. It's not the same thing but more like a shaved down version of Pixel Bender.
Look at Filter Forge. They offer a 30-day trial. Disclaimer: I've never used it myself.

How to use the stabilizer effect on Adobe premiere elements 11

Can anyone show me how to use the video stabilizer effect on premiere elements 11 step by step ?
Thank you !

achiu8888
I suspect that the principles would lend themselves to a step by step but how the effect works with your specific video will depend upon the degree of shakiness and other factors.
1. Your video clip on the Timeline of a project with the project settings which match the properties of your source video (part of all works whether or not the Stabilizer is involved.
2. Go to fx Effects Tab at the bottom of the Expert View, navigate to the Video Stabilizer and click on it to view its thumbnail. Drag the effect's thumbnail from there into the video clip on the Timeline.
3 I ran into an online excerpt of the Video Stabilizer in Adobe's Classroom in a Book, you may want to follow the path from there.

Also, you might want to put that information together with Adobe Effects Reference's description of the options iin the Applied Effects Palette/Stabilizer Panel.

(Scroll down until you get to Video Stabilizer options description.)
The above should supply with good starter information. If you need clarification on anything that I have written, please do not hesitate to ask.

How to hold the Lightning effect still?

Basically,the Lightning effect keeps "wriggling" from side to side - not the fixed end and start points, but the actual middle part. Is there any way to stop it moving to create a "glowing stick" ? (Premiere 11)

NYinperth
I have something for you to try in order to create your "still" glowing stick. It is not a freeze frame as I was suggesting before. Something else.
1. Open Premiere Elements 11 and go to Text Menu/New Text/Default Text to bring up the Titler.
2. The Titler has 4 sections: Text, Style, Animation, and Shapes.
In the Text section, click on the Selection Tool to use for selecting the Add Text on screen. Hit Delete on the keyboard to get rid of Add Text.
3. Go the Shape section of the Titler. Use the Rectangle Tool to draw out a rod. Then go to Style section.
Find the Style named Bell Gothic Ice 26 and double click that Style. The rod that is selected on the screen should look like
In the Titler, you can experiment with different Styles applied to the Shape if you want. To close out of the Titler, click on those two tiny triangles pointing right at the top right of the Adjustment Palette. If you want to re-edit the stick after you close the Titler, just double click the Title on the Expert workspace Timeline where you are working.
That is just a rough starting point.
Please let us know how that goes. You might even explore applying the Lightning Effect to a title created in the Titler? Then freeze frame, then ChromaKey to get replace the black color that you are seeing with transparency so that that your image below shows.
Or, you just might want to invest your time in some Photoshop tutorials on glowing rods that are all over the Internet.

Add On...Here is an example of Lightning captured via the Titler as I roughly mentioned.

How to avoid the toggle effect in JButton

Hi,
I am displaying the text in JButton and called the properties as follows:
<jButton>.setText("Welcome");
<jButton>.setFont(new FOnt("SansSerif"),Font.PLAIN,12);
<jButton>.setForeground(Color.black);
<jButton>.setContentAreaFilled(false);
<jButton>.setBorderPainted(false);
<jButton>.setFocusPainted(false);
<jButton>.setOpaque(false);
<jButton>.setBorder(null);
But, when i click on the text, there is slight jumping effect(slight toggle effect) in the text. Text goes slightly downwards and come back to its original position.
Also, i have set the WindowsLookAndFeel.(which is mandotory for us).
If i remove the WindowsLookAndFeel, it works fine.
How to avoid this toggle effect.
Could anyone can help in this regard?

Your button doesn't look like a button. So does it have to be a button? Why not try using a jLabel with proper event handling?

How to achieve the same effect seen in attached screenshot

I dig the artist's style in image on very right of attached image -
MINE ON LEFT W/RED ARROWS.
Question, as I have my character open in PS6.0
and still in PSD format as I am coloring him, what would be the simplest
steps to take to add that shading like black under his eye (in right side image)?
Or that stippled shaded effect along his nose?
See areas under my character's eye and nose I want to experiment on . . .

How phenomenal it is to go to this forum and have this type of invaluable feedback from each and every one of you.
I certainly appreciate this! tfkelly42 you did some great touch-ups on my sample mate! I do like this, like having you all over my shoulder saying, "click this, then that tool...." THANKS! And, I use PS6, so my version is NEWER than his....so I think I ought to achieve the same effect! BTW, here is a screenshot of my tool bar with BRUSH highlighted....but before venturing into a test....should I highlight the area in any way....prior to trying the brush tool and the rest? I'll post a sample back here (probably on Tuesday...it's gettng late here) BUT THANKS!

How to control the shatter effect in Aperture 3

I am using Aperture 3 on an iMac, but have trouble trying to control the shatter effect in slideshow, I would like to be able to slow this down in order to see the effect in slow motion

Nope, it's a default. Some themes let you do it, not the Shatter theme.

ICal Dock Icon - how to rotate the date to a straight, vertical angle?

As you all know the date in the iCal-Doc-Icon is rotated a few degrees against clockwise. I would love to have this straight, because this **** icon is the only one which jumps out of the line, this is driving me nuts ^^
There must be a way to rotate the date a few degrees clockwise...anyone with some good knowledge?
Thanks guys!

Like this? Looks funny, do you really want to do it?
This is a somewhat risky operation; you should only try it, if you understand the structure of an application package and know what you are doing, for you have to exchange a file in the Resources folder of the iCal application, and probably even then it is not really worth the risk
The steps to do:
Create a custom application icon of the rotated, empty calendar (without the day numbers) - I put an icon file here: http://dreschler-fischer.de/icons/App-empty.icns.zip, download it and uncompress it.
Quit iCal. Make a backup copy of the iCal Application. Make sure this backup copy is working by launching it and quitting it again.
Select the iCal Application in the Finder. Ctrl-click it, and select "Show Package Contents". Open the Folder "Contents", then the folder "Resources".
Make a backup copy of the icon file "App-empty.icns" in the "Resources" folder; then replace the icon file "App-empty.icns" with the straightened icon file. You will have to authentificate as administrator to do that.
Close the package folder and relaunch iCal.
If you messed up the application, restore it from the backup copy you made.
Cheers
Léonie
P.S.
icon is the only one which jumps out of the line, this is driving me nuts
Don't you have Mail, GarageBAnd, iPhoto, dictionary, Textedit, AddressBook? My icons are all rotated ....

IPhone SDK - How to rotate the Aspen Simulator

I have the Beta 3 installed. The Aspen Simulator menu has a menu item called Hardware which has *Rotate Left* and *Rotate Right*. When i try rotate it does not do anything.
Have others experienced an issue with this? From some post it seems like this works for them. So i would like to know what i am doing wrong.
Thanks in advance.
-TRS

In Beta4, the Simulator now rotates irrespective of whether the application handles rotation or not. That is one difference from earlier.
Secondly i registered for UIDevice UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification and now i do get notified when the orientation changed.
Of course the view itself is not rotated automatically. Seems like the UIViewController has code to rotate the views. In other handheld devices for e.g on Palm and Windows Mobile when the device changes orientation the application views are automatically rotated. You do have to handle the changes to the new screen size and adjust your views. I had expected something similar on the iPhone and am a bit surprised at this behavior.
I don't have anything against View controllers. I guess it is just that i don't understand them that well. I don't want to use the Navigation bar or the Tab bars. I want my views to have a custom header view and a custom footer view. And i plan to load the new content view on the current parent view and handle the Back stack myself. So the header and footer view remain fixed and the only thing that slides in and out is the content view. From the documentation and the WhichWayIsUp sample it is clear that i can use a view controller for the main view and not use the navigation bars or tab bars. I guess i just need to try a few things out to see what will work for me.
Thanks once again for your feedback.

How to keep the layers effects when merging the layers to save a Tif?

I am loosing all my layers effects when I merge all the layers together to save the image in the tif format! How to avoid this lost? Can someone help me? this is very urgent! I have to give the file to the printer for my solo exhibition on tomorrow morning and I am turning and turning to find a solution but can't!!!Thank you very much in advance.

You do not have to flatten for the .tif format, match these settings.
If the printer is requiriing you to send a flat file, try flattening first via the layers palete flyout.
If you stil need help, a screenshot of your layers, may help shed some light on what may be going on.

How to know the Performance effect when swapping or changing Containers ??

Hi ,
As part of Custom Item Renderer to a DataGridColumn , i am having this code below :
<mx:HBox id="jai">
        <mx:Image source="images/canvas.png" visible="true" height="100%" width="100%"/>
        <mx:Label id="kkk" text="Pavan"/>
        <mx:Button label="Edit" click="openPopUpWindow()"/>
    </mx:HBox>
But unfortunately , this doesn't give me a pleasant look , so i decided to use Panel
instead of HBox , Means this way
<mx:Panel id="jai">
        <mx:Image source="images/canvas.png" visible="true" height="100%" width="100%"/>
        <mx:Label id="kkk" text="Pavan"/>
        <mx:Button label="Edit" click="openPopUpWindow()"/>
    </mx:Panel>
I am also worried about the Performance of the Application at the same time .
Please tell me as how can i know or confirm that Changing the Container from HBox to Panel
didn't affected anything performance wise or not ??
Thanks .

Use the performance profiler. We typically use 3 to 5 runs, looking for
convergence around a range of times.
