If you want to learn the Displace Filter

If you want to learn the Displace Filter

Recently I decided to undertake a study of the Displace Filter and found three tutorials which were excellent.
Steve's series of tutorials presents a wide variety of uses.
http://www.gurusnetwork.com/tutorial/displace/
Markzebra's guides you through using displace in animation.

Stroker's series of tutorials are perhaps the best if you are trying to comprehend how displace really works even if you are visually oriented. I've received permission to host a PDF download of this work which
builds knowledge step by step with great good humor to boot!

It warps an object based on the light or dark values of another file, or map. If you need to make a objects shadow conform to an irregular surface, the displace filter is perfect. It's useful to creating glass effects as well. Check through the previous posts in this thread for some links such as this fine tutorial.

  • If you want to learn ActionScript in L.A.

    A workshop worth checking out....
    Releasing the ActionScripter Within with Phillip Kerman
    Dates:               Fri +
    Sat, July 14 + 15
    Location:          The flash Factory
    in Venice, California
    Price:               
    $490
    A lot of people know about the cool stuff that's possible in
    Flash, but they don't
    know how to do it. In fact, they may have a very clear idea
    what they want
    but they don't know how to sort out the problem and execute
    it. The
    "programming" side of things can get tricky but usually it's
    the planning
    and design that's the most challenging.
    Kerman will show common programming topics (variables,
    arrays, functions,
    ActionScript objects, class files) but I'll present it using
    easy-to-understand analogies and with practical use-cases
    where the students
    will actually use this stuff. He will also spend a lot of
    time on seeing the
    consistencies in syntax so that you just learn the general
    form instead of
    learning the nitty gritty details of every variation. That
    is, if you learn
    the common syntaxes you can apply that knowledge to
    additional topics that
    you encounter.
    Students will walk away feeling comfortable how to approach
    and execute a
    programming task. They'll be able to sort out a problem,
    identify the
    needed pieces, break down the programming into pieces, and
    then--if not
    build the whole thing--"stub" it in a way that parts work and
    the remaining
    tasks are clearly identified. Of course, it's best if a
    student could
    really build a huge application after this two-day course,
    but even the most
    advanced programmers build things in pieces and a big goal of
    this class is
    that they can see how to break things down.
    Also, they'll get exposed to using code to control animation,
    sound, and
    video as well as the new BitmapData class and filters
    package.

  • How to return a profile in Game Center. where you want to enter the old nikneim?

    How to return a profile in Game Center. where you want to enter the old nikneim?

    It's not actually round.  It is slight flattened vertically.
    Anyway...
    I have an Action that places guides at 50% (50pc) vertically and horizontally to give me the exact center of an image file, or you place them manually with View > New Guide.
    After doing that I would place the circular select from that center point using Shift and Alt (Opt) and get it more or less where I wanted it.  Then change the selection into a work path.
    You can use Free Transform to reshape and position that work path by selecting it in the Paths panel.
    Then place your text, and if you still need to fine tune, use Free Transform again, but on the Type layer.
    You could also use Free Transform to reshape the BG graphic to make it round.

  • ITunes no longers asks "Do you want to keep the original file or move to trash?" - Can this be fixed?

    I'm not sure if this was a recent update in Mavericks, but when I used to delete items from iTunes it would ask something along the lines of:
    Do you want to keep the original file or move to trash?
    Now I no longer get this, instead iTunes asks:
    Are you sure you want to delete the selected song from your iTunes library?
    After which, if you choose the option "Delete Song", you get no option to keep the original file, it just straight up deletes if from my library and hard drive. Does anyone know if there is a way around this? For whatever reason, I want to be able to keep the original file on my Mac, without keeping it in my iTunes library.
    I've tried resetting dialogue warning, and this hasn't made a difference.
    Thanks!

  • //remove this line if you want to edit the code by hand? um which line?

    Several of my pages are locking up and I don't know why. As I work through the code, I remembered that I altered some text in a SendEmail by directly altering the page rather than using the Server Behavior. Don't understand why that would matter but whatever...
    Now as I ponder if that is causing the problem, I ran across this commented line in the code:
    //remove this line if you want to edit the code by hand
    But are they talking about the line just after that line of //remove or do they mean the actual comment line of
    //remove this line if you want to edit the code by hand?
    Thanks for your help

    Trigger and $tNG look suspiciously like ADDT code to me. Ask the guys in the ADDT forum (http://forums.adobe.com/community/dreamweaver/addt). There are a couple of them in there who know the code intimately. I haven't touched ADDT for ages.

  • If you want to access the PowerShell 3.0 Help in another language please vote for my Connect suggestion!

    All my Windows operating Systems are set to use the UI Culture: German
    With Update-Help or Save-Help you can download PowerShell help in different (any) language by use of the –UICulture parameter.
    Update-Help –UICulture en-US
    Because my Windows OS is set to use the German UI Culture and the Cmdlet Get-Help depends on it, I cannot access PowerShell help in a different Language (English) with Get-Help.
    There is still no translated German PowerShell help and even if I have installed the en-US verbose Help files I cannot use it (easily)!
    I made a suggestion on Microsoft Connect to add the –UICulture Parameter to the Get-Help Cmdlet, to make it possible to call Help in a different language then the Windows Ui Culture.
    As a workaround until then you can use the  .NET Class [System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture to set the UI Culture and get Help in a different language.
    Function Get-HelpUICulture {
    param (
    [String]$HelpSearchString,
    [String]$UICulture
    # remember the UICulture
    $OldCulture = [System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture
    trap
    [System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = $OldCulture
    # set thread to given UICulture
    [System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = $UICulture
    # call powershell help in given language
    Get-Help $HelpSearchString -Full
    # reset UICulture
    [System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = $OldCulture
    # Example: call PowerShell en-US help in verbose English:
    Get-HelpUICulture -HelpSearchString Get-Command -UICulture ‘en-US’

  • How to avoid the message "Do you want to save the changes you have made?"

    i have 3 forms
    master block
    detail1 block of master
    detail2 block of detail1
    when i go out of detail1 and detail2 blocks after doing some modifications it asks me "Do you want to save the changes you have made"?
    i want to avoid this message as well as my changes should be posted in the database. what is the solution for this big pblm?

    hi
    may be you are trying to modify the database item or reassigning the database item value which is not actually needed.
    try to comment the reassigning database values
    and give clear_form(do_commit);
    most probably u will not get the message again

  • Dialog Box as "Do you want to save the changes?" in Forms.

    Hi,
    I have 4 datablocks in my forms that corresponds View.
    In the form design, I have a canvas(multiple inserting design) with two buttons that calls the other two blocks.
    Am inserting the records in the following way,
    In first record,
    am entering the value in one block, then a button-press event and so it opens another canvas where I enter some values then return to my main canvas. This is one row.
    But while I try to insert in the second row, there arises the dialog box as "Do you want to save the changes"?
    I should not get that dialog box.
    Please suggest me with the solution.
    Regards,
    Mini

    Thanks for the response,
    Let me clearly explain.
    I have 3 blocks created from view not table.
    I have a canvas in the multiple display layout i.e Number of items displayed is 10.
    In that canvas, I have set the two buttons. the button event is calling another canvas.
    Am inserting a record in the first row in the following sequence.
    Inserting the values for some fields in the main canvas, then entering the button, it opens another canvas that responds to another block, there am entering some values and closing the button event canvas, then returning to my main canvas, then entering the remaining fields with the values, thus my first row ends.
    Now I want to enter the values in the second row, while I navigate from the first Row to the Second row, there arises the dialog box as to save the changes or not?
    I should not get the dialog box.
    Am inserting the values in the database using Insert statements in all the blocks.
    Hope U understand the issue.
    Suggest me with the solution.
    Regards,
    Mini.

  • How to I get rid of pop up user account control "do you want to allow the following program to make changes to your computer" I have windows 7 professional.

    I keep getting an annoying pop up the says "User Account Control" "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to your computer"
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Two days after I downloaded Firefox and set as my default browser.

    Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
    In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.
    You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.
    If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.

  • I keep getting the error message "Missing PDFMaker files. Do you want to run the installer in repair mode"

    I keep getting the error message "Missing PDFMaker files  Do you want to run the installer in repair mode"when I try to convert a file into a pdf.  I have tried uninstalling then reinstalling but I continue to get the message.  I am able directly print file, but there are some errors in the pages, but some of them have font errors. Please advise.

    Hey Suzanne,
    Could you please let me know what Acrobat version are you using and what kind of file are you trying to convert to PDF.
    If you are using an MS Office application, then PDF Maker has to be an active plug-in for the PDF conversion.
    Have you tried using Print to PDF option from the File menu for the same?
    Please check and then let me know.

    You can remove "this" (display of the Up Next list) by going to View > Hide Up Next in iTunes' menu.

    No.  It would simply remove them from the Up Next list.

  • "Do you want to allow the following program..." Message

    After installing iTunes 9.2 on my Windows 7 (64bit) laptop, every time I attempt to open iTunes it gives me a message asking "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?". Clicking yes leads the programme to open, but the message appears every single time upon opening.
    Also, when iTunes is minimized to the task bar, it will not open and maximize, and doesn't appear as one the applications running on the task manager and must be shut down through the processes.
    I have uninstalled all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes multiple times as well as moved all my music off my computer.
    Any ideas on a solution?

    Many thanks. I think we'd better try rebuilding your iTunes preference files in the account that is getting the errors.
    For the basic technique, see the *Remove iTunes Preference files* section of the *User-specific troubleshooting* section of the following document:
    [iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717]
    *Prior to doing the preference file rebuilds:* Best to make a note of any custom preferences you have set up for your iTunes. (Rebuilding pref files returns preferences to their defaults ... so you'll likely have to set some of those custom preferences up again from scratch.) Also make a note of any third-party plugins/add-ons you have installed. You may have to reinstall those after the rebuilds.
    *Things to watch out for during the rebuilds*
    Rebuilding the preference files in the \Local\ location causes the iTunes license agreement to run. So you'll need to agree to that again.
    Rebuilding the preference files in the \Roaming\ location causes the iTunes Setup Assistant to run. When prompted to do so, *do not* add files to your iTunes library. (Otherwise you'll end up with a library full of duplicates.)
    ... are those measures of any help with the launch error and the maximising troubles in your usual user account, sana?

    Okay everybody...so I'm on the struggle bus so I'm going from Photoshop cs6 off my old broken laptop to trying to dwn Photoshop Cs2...either way I love PS. Now when I tried downloading it for free from Adobe...succeeded...but when I went to the download folder to install it, it said "Do you want to allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer?" I mean....what would you do? Is it safe to click yes....(Don Don Don...*sound effect*)..please help...

    If you already have a license for photoshop cs6, why do you want photoshop cs2?
    You can just install photoshop cs6 on your new computer provided both operating systems are the same kind (both mac or both windows)
    If you don't have an install dvd for cs6, you can download photoshop cs6 from here and use your serial:
