How to set specific blur levels

I'm using Photoshop 7.0 and want to be able to apply specific blur levels to images. I can do so using Gaussian blur but this doesnt give the effect I want.
Firstly, can someone explain exactly what Gaussian blur is?
Secondly, is there any way I can adjust the regular blur level (i.e. not gaussian) to specific amounts (e.g. as a percentage blur)?
Thanks.

Cat,
This is the Photoshop 'Elements' forum. There is a separate forum for the bigger main product that is Photoshop. You may therefore wish to consider posting your query in that forum not least because Photoshop proper offers far more control over some of the features than Elements.
A quick search of Wikipedia offers the following explanation of Gaussian Blur:
"Gaussian blur is a widely used effect in graphics software such as Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, Inkscape, and Paint.NET. It is typically used to reduce image noise and reduce detail levels. The visual effect of this blurring technique is a smooth blur resembling that of viewing the image through a translucent screen, distinctly different from the bokeh effect produced by an out-of-focus lens or the shadow of an object under usual illumination. Gaussian smoothing is also used as a pre-processing stage in computer vision algorithms in order to enhance image structures at different scalessee scale-space representation and scale-space implementation.
Mathematically speaking, applying a Gaussian blur to an image is the same as convolving the image with a Gaussian or normal distribution. (In contrast, convolving by a circle (i.e., a circular box blur) would more-accurately reproduce the bokeh effect.) Since the Fourier transform of a Gaussian is another Gaussian, applying a Gaussian blur has the effect of low pass filtering the image."
Good luck

  • How to set Transaction isolation level in Weblogic 11g

    How do I set the transaction isolation level in Weblogic?
    Some references that I found suggest that I have to explicitely state the isolation level in the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml per ejb. If I am using EJB 3.0 why would I need to do that?
    Can I set this up as a property in the JDBC datasource setup?
    Other application servers like Websphere actually allows for this. Can this be done in Weblogic?
    Currently I get the following message if I don't set the isolation level:
    Transaction attribute: TX_NOT_SUPPORTED Isolation Level: No Isolation Level Set Tx Timeout: 30000
    What seems to be happening is that one update of my transaction is getting rolled back and other consequent calls are failing due to foreign key issues due to the first rollback.
    I think the issue is related to the isolation level or the transaction time out being too low.
    Any ideas?
    BTW: I am using openjpa and using a MS SQLServer. Not sure if that helps the discussion.
    Thanks

  • How to set the isolation level on Entity EJBs

    I am using 10.1.3.3 of the OC4J app server.
    I am creating an application that uses EJB 2.1.
    I am trying to set the isolation levels on the EJBs to either serializable or repeatable read.
    When i deploy the EAR file from the OC4J admin console, i can set the isolation level property on the EJB's however when i inspect the orion-ejb-jar.xml file I do not see the isolation level being set. Furthermore, i tried to manually change the isolation setting by editing the orion-ejb-jar.xml and adding the isolation="serialiable" attribute on the entity bean descriptor. I then stopped and restarted the server. I noticed that my change was no longer in the file.
    Can someone please let me know how to solve this problem and set the isolation level on Entity EJBs . Thanks

    I find it at ejb.pdf from BEA.
              The transaction-isolation stanza can contain the elements shown here:
              <transaction-isolation>
              <isolation-level>Serializable</isolation-level>
              <method>

  • How to set tree max level in V4+ trees?

    I have a tree and I want it to initally open up to level 3. (Not expand all). Previous to V4 you could set the attribute "Max Levels". How do you set this now? I assume it will be a dynamic action javascript call but what is the code?
    thanks in advance

    I searched through the docs of jstree 0.9.9a2, which comes with apex 4+, and through apex.widget.tree, but couldn't find any function which does what you describe. However, it can be emulated fairly easily.
    Add this code to the page javascript:
    function resetAndOpenToLevel ( pTree, pMaxLevel ) {
       apex.jQuery.tree.reference(pTree).close_all();
       $("ul", pTree).each(function ( index ) {
          if ( $(this).parents("ul").length <= pMaxLevel ) {
             apex.jQuery.tree.reference(pTree).open_branch(this);
    };When called this will open up the nodes of the given tree up to (and including) pMaxLevel.
    For convenience, give your tree region a static ID.
    For example,define a button which triggers a dynamic action with execute javascript code as true action:
    resetAndOpenToLevel ( $("#my_tree_region_id div.tree"), 2) ;Would reset the tree, and then open nodes up to and including level 2.
    You can try it out on my example tree page, where i included this code: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=54687:38 There I'm using a global javascript variable to store a reference to the tree element rather than fetching it every time.

  • How to set up row-level data security in BO XI r2

    I need to get Data/Row level security into my BO XI r2 report.
    A logged in user should be able to view info on pertaining to him without refreshing it.
    how do i incorporate this feature into my report?
    its possible to do this by setting a filter using the currentuser() function.
    however it requires a refresh of the report.
    hence the new user shall be able to view the data of the previous user. i need to enforce more security on the data. How do i do this???

    Hi Anamika, here is a sample of what the cv_security view might look like:
    create or replace view cv_security
    as
    select distinct sec."gid", sec."uid", sec."from", sec."to"
    from
    -- All users where NO LIMITS APPLY (sg.group = 1)
    (select distinct
    sg.group_id as "gid",
    sg.user as "uid",
    '----' as "from",
    'ZZZZ' as "to"
    from dual sr, sec_groups sg, sec_users su
    where su.user(+) = sg.user
    and su.status = 1
    and sg.coding = 'GL'
    and sg.group = 1
    union all
    --All users with specified sec_ranges
    select distinct
    sg.group_id as "gid",
    sg.user as "uid",
    case when sr.from is NULL
    then ' '
    else sr.from
    end as "from",
    case when sr.to is NULL
    then ' '
    else sr.to
    end as "to"
    from sec_ranges sr, sec_groups sg. sec_users su
    where su.user(+) = sg.user
    and su.status = 1
    and sg.coding = 'GL'
    and sg.group_id(+) = sr.group_id) sec
    grant select on cv_security to ROLENAME
    Notes about cv_security:
    1) For those users with NO LIMITS APPLY (i.e. Admin staff) hard code an absolute range of RC codes from '----' to 'ZZZZ' to ensure you trap all possible alpha-numeric values.
    2) For those users with NO LIMITS APPLY (i.e. Admin staff) substitute the sec_ranges table with dual
    3) su.status = 1 to a filter to report on only active users
    4) sg.coding = 'GL' is assessing the General Ledger coding dimension of the multi-dimensioned security matrix of our Financial system (this may not apply to you)
    Responses to your questions:
    Q- Does it involve self join between view cv_secured_detail? A- Yes, the 1:N cardinality is a self join between view cv_secured_detail and itself.
    Q- What is the difference between steps 3) and a) below it. A- Step 3a) is simply the act of importing the cv_secured_detail Oracle View as a BO Universe Class, with it's columns known to the BO Universe as Objects
    Q- Can the tables from which report data is fetched be included in the Universe? or should they be part of cv_secured_detail view.
    A- I'm not sure if I understand your question, but I might phrase it another way - Once you create the cv_secured_detail view, and the Universe from this view, with the user = 'BOUSER' limiter. The universe is then used to design the CR, by virtue of it belonging to the CMS Repository, you as the report designer have to log into the CMS repository using your LDAP credentials, if a match is found against the cv_security view your data is automatically row-level secured. In outher words, whatever is declared in the view, is in the universe, and is ultimately available to the report.
    Does this help?

  • How to show specific hierarchy level in Query

    Hi!
    I have a planning query using a hierarchy based on the customer.
    The customer is been showed in they query using a hierarchy. The hierarchy contains of 11 levels.
    The user enters a number of hierarchy nodes for selection. These nodes can be from different levels.
    Question 1:
    How can I maintain the output of the query, so that the hierarchy shows data from level 2 nodes downwards?
    E.g. Hierarchy looks like:
    Root
         1234
              5678
                   9101112
    User enters 9101112 for hierarchy node selection
    Output should be:
    5678
         9101112
    Question 2:
    If there is a solution for Question 1, is there also any possibility to restrict the user from drilling down the hierarchy?
    Thanks and regards
    Marco

    Suresh,
          I am not sure how you can search across all the transports for a specific value in one of the object(table) in the transport.Is your planning level defintion still the same that you would like to move it to production ? If it is, you could transport your level right now from Dev to QA and to PROD, you can do it for the entire level or selected objects within the level.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers
    Srini

  • How to set specific height in JLabel but vary in width ...

    Hi,
    I want to set the height of JLabel to fix height but vary the width according to the content of the label...
    How does I do that ??
    JLabel lbl = new JLabel("Hello this is aman");
    lbl.setPreferredSize(100,30);
    If the the text is changed, the width will be truncated at 100 pixels... how do I change
    that to height 30, but width change according to text ?
    thank

    Hi..
    may be this works for you ---
    since u want to adjust the width with the text size.. means that you will be taking an input from the user and then set it on the label.. so before setting the text on the label & width of label .. get the length of the text and set this length as the width parameter to method setPrefferedSize()..
    ex:
    // get the text from textbox
    String userinp = textbox.getext();
    JLabel lbl = new JLabel();
    lbl.setPreferredSize(userinp.length,30);
    lbl.setText(userinp);

  • How to Set a machine level Environment variable in remote machines

    Hi,
    I have to set a List($ProjectName) as the value of an environment variable($PROJECTS).
    The cmdlet which I tried is :
    $remoteMachineList = 'machA', 'machB'
    $ProjectName = 'ProjA', 'ProjB', 'ProjC'
    foreach($remoteMachine in $remoteMachineList){ icm -comp $remoteMachine {
    [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("PROJECTS",$ProjectName,"Machine")
    This doesn't throw any errors but it's not setting the value of it. If I give a string or an integer value directly instead of the $ProjectName in the above code, it's working fine.
    PLease Help, Thanks in advance !

    You have to do a little more work when supplying outside variables into a PSSession (using Invoke-Command in this case) by using the -ArgumentList parameter and supplying a Param() statement in the scriptblock.
    $remoteMachineList = 'machA', 'machB'
    $ProjectName = 'ProjA', 'ProjB', 'ProjC'
    foreach($remoteMachine in $remoteMachineList){

  • Set specific rows in ALV grid ready for input

    Hi everyone,
      I have a question about how to set specific rows in ALV grid ready for input.
      I know that I can make some columns ready for input before the ALV displayed,but I have no idea how to make specific rows displayed in the ALV ready for input.

    Hello Aaron
    For editable columns we can use the fieldcatalog (LVC_S_FCAT-EDIT = 'X') but for rows you need to define editability on cell level.
    The required steps are documented in sample report BCALV_EDIT_02. Below I point out a few crucial points:
    *§1.Extend your output table for a field, e.g., CELLTAB, that holds
    *   information about the edit status of each cell for the
    *   corresponding row (the table type is SORTED!).
    DATA: BEGIN OF gt_outtab occurs 0.  "with header line
            include structure sflight.
    DATA: celltab type LVC_T_STYL.
    DATA: END OF gt_outtab.
    *§3.Provide the fieldname of the celltab field by using field
    *   STYLEFNAME of the layout structure.
       gs_layout-stylefname = 'CELLTAB'.
       CALL METHOD grid1->set_table_for_first_display
             EXPORTING i_structure_name = 'SFLIGHT'
                       is_layout        = gs_layout
             CHANGING  it_outtab        = gt_outtab[].
    Note: in the sample report only field SEATSMAX is editable. In your case you need
    to fill CELLTAB for all fields in a row.
    *§2.After selecting data, set edit status for each row in a loop
    *   according to field SEATSMAX.
      LOOP AT gt_outtab.
        l_index = sy-tabix.
        refresh lt_celltab.
        if gt_outtab-seatsmax ge 300.
            perform fill_celltab using 'RW'
                                 changing lt_celltab.
        else.
            perform fill_celltab using 'RO'
                                 changing lt_celltab.
        endif.
    *§2c.Copy your celltab to the celltab of the current row of gt_outtab.
        INSERT LINES OF lt_celltab INTO TABLE gt_outtab-celltab.
        MODIFY gt_outtab INDEX l_index.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDFORM.                               " SELECT_DATA_AND_INIT_STYLE
    NOTE: LVC_T_STYL is a SORTED table type. Thus, take care that you are using the
    INSERT ... INTO TABLE statement and not APPEND (because then nothing is appended
    to the CELLTAB itab).
      IF p_mode EQ 'RW'.
    *§2a.Use attribute CL_GUI_ALV_GRID=>MC_STYLE_ENABLED to set a cell
    *    to status "editable".
        l_mode = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_style_enabled.
      ELSE. "p_mode eq 'RO'
    *§2b.Use attribute CL_GUI_ALV_GRID=>MC_STYLE_DISABLED to set a cell
    *    to status "non-editable".
        l_mode = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_style_disabled.
      ENDIF.
      ls_celltab-fieldname = 'SEATSMAX'.
      ls_celltab-style = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_style_disabled.
      INSERT ls_celltab INTO TABLE pt_celltab.
    Regards

  • Setting up item level security access

    Hello,
    I am new to Oracle Instant Portal and I'm trying to figure out how to set up item level security on a particular tab page. Can anyone give step by step instructions on how to make it work?
    So, say that I have a tab page called HR. On that HR page, I have 3 items. For item1 and item2, I want user1 to have view access to these only, and for user2 they could have view access to item3 only.
    I checked the option in the HR page's Page Access settings to Enable Item Level Security, saved the changes, and even cleared the cache, but it doesn't seem to give me any new functionality where I could specify that for item1 and item2, only user1 should have access to it, and for item3, only user2 should access it.
    Can someone please help?
    Thanks!

    Please disregard--I figured out how to do this:
    1. When you are editing the page, you must click on the "Edit Item" icon next to the item.
    2. Then click on the Access tab in the upper right.
    3. Select Define Item Level Access Privileges and click Apply.
    4. In the Grant Access section that now appears just below, select the user id you want to grant access to the item and then click Add.

    It sounds as if you have already found the method to change your card details, but just to confirm: go to the iTunes Store. Click 'Account' under 'Quick links' at the right. Log in.
    Where it says 'Payment Information' click on 'Edit' to the right of it.
