Hue Curves, Saturation curves and Alpha Curves

Are there Hue or Saturation curves in any native plug in for AE. This is something I read about in the Color Correction Handbook. He actually refers to them as Hue vs. Sat curves and Hue vs. Luminance.
I believe you can adjust the saturation of High light, Mid tones and Shadow independently in Color Finesse.
And regarding the Curves Preset in AE. What the hell do you use the Alpha Curve for? I tried it on several clips that had Alpha Channels and IT did nothing. I noticed a very very slight change on some text.

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Alpha curves are useful when you have feathered edges (or not 100% black or white but some 'grey' semi-tranparent values) on your alpha. You could use it for example to choke your matte in or out and tweak the edge. Or to adjust the overall visibility like on a smoke element, with finer control over what goes transparent than if you had simply turned down the visibility for the layer as a whole.
Hope that helps!

Syncing the 8330 Curve to PC and MAC

HI! IS it possible to sync the Curve witha PC and a MAC??

Hi CMP and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Yes, it is possible to synchronize with both Mac and PC, however, there is a chance that some of the data could be duplicated.
Thanks and have a great day!

Assigning curves to axis (and setting axis color) in report

I'm creating a script that will generate a report.
As a template for this report i have a tdr file with one 2D axis system.
The channels to be displayed are stored in an global array, it can be any number of channels (hypothetically).
Now for each channel I want to:
Create a new curve.
Create a new y-axis (except for the first, cause there is already one present)
Assign the y-axis to the corresponding curve
Assign the y-axis color to be the same as the corresponding curve.
Creating several curves workes fine (and displaying them).
Creating several y-axis workes fine as well.
However, the last two operations are not as straightforward. Should the y-axis be assigned to the curve or the other way around (basicly, how is this done)?
Setting the y-axis color sounds easy enough, from the help file:
"D2AxisYLineColor: Specifies the color of the selected y-axis."
However, when i use this command it doesn't change anything. Example:
Call GraphObjOpen("2DAxis1")
Call GraphObjOpen(D2AxisYObj(1))
D2AxisYTxtColor ="red"
D2AxisYLineColor = "red"
Call GraphObjClose(D2AxisYObj(1))
Call GraphObjClose("2DAxis1")
This code WILL change the label text color (as expected), the line color (which i believe is supposed to be the color of the axis itself) remains unchanged. What am i missing here?

Hi Salte
You missed only one line
Call GraphObjOpen("2DAxis1")
D2AXISINDIVIDCOL = 1
Call GraphObjOpen(D2AxisYObj(1))
D2AxisYTxtColor ="red"
D2AxisYLineColor = "blue"
Call GraphObjClose(D2AxisYObj(1))
Call GraphObjClose("2DAxis1")
Press CTRL-A when you open the definition dialog to get all parameters.
Hope this helps

How to make start and end curve pieces of selected tab transparent in custom theme in FF33?

I created my own theme using a background image but it seems I cannot code it right in browser.css to make the start and end curve pieces of selected tab transparent. They remain colored, I guess using the operating system's (which is Win XP) dialog color. The middle piece is fine, though, as well as the hovering.
I built my theme based on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Building_a_Theme but customised it.
Your answer would be highly appreciated!
Best regards,
Chaperon

Possible to script palette menus Save and Load Curves?

Is it possible to script CS4 Photoshop's palette menus? Specifically, the "Save Curves Preset ..." and "Load Curves Preset" ... of the Adjustments Palette.
I have 600 images, some of which have layer>new adjustment layer>curves applied.
I want to save the curves using the image name. Later, I want to be able to load the appropriate curve.
E.g., for image001.tif, the curve would be image001.acv
(I already have a loop set up to iterate through the files and get the file names.)

Thank you.
I got both scripts working without JS or AS errors, but, when trying to load .acv files generated by the second script, CS4 Photoshop gave an error:
"Could not load the curves because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop"
(The loading script works fine when loading .acv files created directly from Photoshop.)
The only change I made to your Save Curves code was:
FROM: var myACV = new File('~/desktop/myCurve.acv')
TO: var myACV = new File(file);
and made the code a function:
saveCurves(file)
YOUR CODE HERE
so that I could incorporate it into the Applescript.
Maybe that was naive (I'm not very knowledgeable about JS).
Here are the scripts I'm using:
SAVE CURVES:
set gammaFolder to "/Users/me/Desktop/myproject/gamma/"
tell application "Finder"
          set TheFolder to choose folder
          set FileList to every file of entire contents of TheFolder as alias list

My bb curve 9380 shutdown and a red led lighting

my bb curve 9380 shutdown and a red led lighting i don't now what hapned but i just modify some apps bay bb desktop softwere please help me and thx verry much

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
If the problem is revealed via the above tests to be your BB, then I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.

Missing Basic and Tone Curve Panel in LR5

Last night I installed LR5 (last version was LR3) on my iMac with Mavericks OS and everything was working fine, I thought, and I was using the Develop Module when I noticed the Basic Panel and Tone Curve Panel (which I had been using) had gone missing . As in, poof, they were gone. So now I have the Histogram, the Crop and other tools and brushes, and then nothing until HSL/Color/B&W and then on down.

I'm cheating here with another question, but I think it will be quick: I see LR5 automatically uses the updated interface for Highlights, Shadows, Blacks, Whites and I see they are more precise and subtle. Can I go to photos adjusted in LR3 that still show the LR3 interface and use the LR5 interface & finer adjustments on the old photos?

Adjusting volume and pan curves in real time

Can I adjust my volume curves and pan curves while i'm doing playback?
Example, in pro tools when you play back, with you controller you can change the volum or pan as you want and it "memorizes" you movements. Can garageband do this? or do I have to make them all myself?
Also doesn anyone know if this feature, along with retard and tempo changes, and a different metronome going to be offered in a new version of garageband?

You have to create the curves by hand
As for the future, anyone that knows about coming features would be under NDA, and speculation is against the ToS in this forum B-(>

VM-605 won't function with Curve 8330 passworded and locked

With my Curve 8330 passworded and keyboard locked, the handsfree functions of the VM-605 fail to function. I push the button to initiate the function, the tone is heard, but the device fails. The Curve displays "unknown error" on screen. However, if I delete my password entirely, and yet leave the Curve keyboard locked, handsfree functions perform as expected. Is there a workaround for this? I don't necessarily want to leave my Curve unprotected.

should hear "power on" when you hold the front panel down after a bit.

ISync - PocketMac and Blackberry Curve 8330

I installed the newest version of PocketMac because it claims to work with iSync. When I tried to use iSync with my Curve, iSync recognizes my 8330 Curve but says it is not supported. Is it supported or not?

Check whether you have turned off wireless syncing in the address book under options in your blackberry. Also try only syncing across one section at a time (address book, calendar etc..) until everything is on the bb.

Curve name as label on curve

Hello
I would like to do the following in a (2D) report: I have several Y-axes with a common x-axis. On some Y-axes I have to display 2 or more curves, i.e. temp_left and temp_right. Instead of a rectangular area at one corner of the display I'd like to display the curve/channel name on the curve itself.
I, till now, did not manage it.
Any help?
Best regards,

For some curve types like "Line and points", "Special combination", "Constant" and "Coordinate" you can set the "Curve End Label" . Set the "Label" to "Channel name".
Hope that helps

Is it possible to plot two curves on the same 3d curve graph?

Is it possible to plot two or more curves on the same 3d curve graph?
Thanks

Yes, just wire different plot numbers to update each curve. All clear?

Unable to replicate both Numeric and alpha numeric vendors records from R3

Dear all,
In our ECC 5 environment, we have some vendors who master record numbers that are numeric internally assigned i.e 7000000 or 23000000 and some alphanumeric externally assigned i.e SmallBusiness1 or Grinad10. This is posible as you may know via vendor account groups.
We have implemented a classic scenario in SRM 4, Server 5 environment, therefore we need to replicate ECC backend vendors masters. We initally set SAP's AB business Partner (vendors) number range in SRM to A - zzzzzzzz and created numeric number ranges to match thoes set up for all our vendors in ECC.
When we ran BBPGETVD only the alpha numeric vendors records replicated down to SRM. The numeric were ingnored. The BBPGETVD t-code was reporting that the other vendors had incorrect data.
We then chnaged the AB Business Partner (vendor)number range to 000000001 - 999999999 and ran BBPGETVD. Only then did the numeric vendors get replicated down to SRM. But the issue is now, I cannot replicate the alpha numeric with out chaanging the number range back to A - zzzzzzzzz.
Question,
How can I set the Business Partner(Vendor) number range in SRM to anable the replication of both Numeric and Alpha numeric assigned vendor records down to SRM.
Thanks,
Grace

Christophe,
PLEASE HELP I HAVE AN URGENT ISSUE NOW!!!
On the subject of setting back the internal BP number range, does SRM expect it to be set for example to:
01 0000000001 - 0000999999?
Should the grouping for this internal number range be also ways set to 0001. Iam refernceing the settings in our sandbox client, they seam to be set up that way.
If its set to say 0003, will this cause a problem?
Because we have set all our BP ranges to external, any ORG unit, USER or position that we created after we "removed" the internal number range does appear to be working.
I have noticed this. when I login as a new user and try to create a shopping cart, tthe product category drop down does not work on the "new user".
If I go in the BP transaction and search for this new user or new unit org units that where created after the removal of the internal number range nothing is found!. The last internal BP number is 105.
Question.
If I set the internal number range back to
01 0000000001 - 0000099999 and set the current number to 106, then delete and recreate the org units, do you think this will work?
Please help I need to get this issue sorted out because as you said no new org unit/user can be setup.
Thanks Again.
Grace

Problems with Apple ProRes 4444 and alpha channels in Motion 4 after upgrade to Snow Leopard. Has anyone seen this?

We've just now upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard and are having a problem with Apple ProRes 4444 and alpha channels in Motion 4. A clip with an alpha which keyed perfectly before the upgrade, now will not key. If I convert the clip to the Animation codec, it keys perfectly. If I export the Motion project as a ProRes 4444 self contained movie, it will key when brought into FCP 7 but if I import the project into FCP 7, it will show the key in the viewer but not the canvas. Has anyone seen this or have any suggestions on how to correct this? Is it a bug?
Thanks,

Motion 4.0.3
It just doesn't seem to recognize the alpha at all.

For some reason, "HSL" is gone from my develop panel. I used to be able to adjust specific colors (blues, greens etc) for saturation, luminance and so on. But that option is now gone from my develop panel. How do I get it back?

Right-click the title bar of any of the panels in the righthand column of the Develop module (for example, the Basic panel) and choose "Adjustments" from the panel list that appears.
