In A3, How Do I Apply One Of My (many) Custom Metadata Views To The Viewer?
In A3, it appears that both the Viewer and Browser are limited to just 2 views: Basic and Expanded.
In A2, I had many custom metadata views that I could easily change via the Metadata-pane (now gone) in Prefs. depending on the type of workflow, customer needs, etc.
Now, if I'm limited to just 2, I'll have to go in and manually change the composition of A3's 2 views for each workflow. If this is the case, I see it as a big step backwards. This is the type of limitation that iPhoto often has, and flexibility is what I expect from a Pro-App.
I spent a great deal of time developing custom metadata views for various workflows so that I could align the various displays in Aperture to each workflow. What do I do now?
Just stumbled over this thread:
Yes, its the truth. There is no way to quickly change the display of Metadata in Browser or List View.
You can tell from the form of the Settings - Window (Command - J) that there is no way anymore. You have one Standard View, and one Extended.
Strange. I did not use it a lot, I always display pictures to customers with no metadata, except when we do a selection on site (and then its standard with only rating).

How do I apply one same transition to multiple slides in one go?
How do I apply one same transition to multiple slides in one go?
After you have done either of the previous options to get the transition on the current slides, you can add the transition to the Master Slide so all your new slides will default to the same transition.

Hello folks,
I am looking for best practices advice when (1) creating
custom components and (2) styling and skinning.
I already know how to skin a component part of the Flex
framework. I can make a class extending ProgrammaticSkin and have
my component skinned using CSS to link the component with the
reference to my custom class.
However what about those cases when you are completely
creating a component from scratch?
Imagine a "Freehand Drawing Canvas" component that allows the
user to draw on it and has some buttons to set color styles, line
styles, etc., or imagine a "Screen Flow Gallery" component that
displays visual objects in a fashion similar to Cover Flow in the
Mac.
In many components I am aware you may reuse other components
part of the Flex framework but I am trying to picture an scenario
where you would need to draw everything yourself because there just
isn't something to base it upon so you will end up drawing it from
scratch.
To learn how instead of building one of those components I
mentioned previously I decided to start with something simple that
would illustrate this like a LiteButton component that will behave
just like the Flex mx.controls.Button but will extend UIComponent
and be completely custom drawn.
The component will have a default look and will also be
style-able and skin-able. I will provide styles for users of the
component to modify and regarding skinning anyone can create a
custom ProgrammaticSkin adding its own drawing logic and link it to
the component via CSS with the ClassReference applied to the skin
selector.
So far so good and it's clear what I want to achieve. I
actually know how to do most of the stuff here but I have one
single problem.
Here is my question, where should I put my custom drawing
logic? If I do it in the updateDisplayList inside the class
extending UIComponent it works, however I thought that it would be
a better practice to do it using programmatic skins, that way I
could provide different skin themes for my component set.
The problem is that I can't make the programmatic work in
this scenario. I tried instantiating the custom programmatic skin
during the updateDisplayList of the LiteButton component and adding
it to my display object via addChild but that didn't do anything. I
also tried creating a "default.css" stylesheet and tried to use
ClassReference as I would normally do to skin an already existing
component (or composite component as well) but that didn't do
anything either.
So how do I apply programmatic skins for completely custom
drawn components of my Flex library project?
I could do it inside the updateDisplayList of the LiteButton
class extending UIComponent but again I would like to provide
different theme sets for my components so it makes sense using
programmatic skins."jbucaran" <[email protected]> wrote in

This may help with that

These aren't mutually exclusive. When you provide a skin with
a
TypeSelector, you have to add it to the display list
somewhere, and this is
typically done in updateDisplayList or addChildren. I prefer
to do it in
updateDisplayList, because you can then change it if the
style changes.

Exactly what did you do?

I've never had any problem using an approach similar to
this...but I will
say that I couldn't see any advantage in creating a
default.css style sheet,
since it's not really default in the way that the one that
comes with Flex
is. It's much more obvious to anyone using your component
what's going on
there if you create a style sheet where they're likely to
spot it.

It seems like your approach is fine, but maybe you've made a
mistake in your
implementation.

You might want to consider also adding an instance of
HaloBorder to your
component. That brings a lot of functionality with it.

How can I combine one font with many styles to show up as one font
How can I combine one font with many styles to show up as one font? I have quite a few fonts, that instead of showing up as a single font with different font styles (bold, bolditalic, semibold, light....) each style shows up in the fonts dropdown menu as a separate font. Any way I can fix this?
Another font question, is there any way to group my fonts in the dropdown menu according to different categories such as 'favorite san serif fonts', or 'script fonts'?So your saying if it wasn't set up that way be the font creator there is nothing I can do. That's a shame.
Most of the fonts that do this were free fonts, such as Walkway.
But I do have some fonts (hebrew fonts) that I purchased that do the same thing. -

How do i create one source file that feeds two users on the same pro book?
how do i create one source file/folder of photos that feeds two users on the same pro book?
Well you can do exactly the same with a folder of photos, just put in the Users/Shared folder.
Iphoto is a mite more complex than this. It's a database and so there's a bit more involved.
For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up. -

How do i apply one gradient across multiple live paint objects??
I need to apply a single gradient acros a number of live paint objects but am finding it annoyingly hard to find a way. I know that normally, to apply a gradient across multiple objects, you would need to make them all into one compound path but does this apply to live paint groups in any way?? Can what i need to achieve actually be done??
Thanks for any help given1. With the Live Paint selection tool, shift-select those shapes you want to unify with a gradient.
2. Fill this (multi-shape) selection with your gradient. Now each shape is filled separately.
3. With the gradient tool, drag across all of the selected shapes.
"Annoyingly hard." Is that different than "hard"? -
How do I share one Iphoto library with other User accounts on the same iMac
I have created a shared Iphoto Library. When I add this to one of the user accounts, it copies all the pictures instead of sharing the same library. The result is that it uses memory.
Is it possible to create a shared library that is shared by all the users without actually copy all the pictures to each users Iphoto library?Hi MikaelK,
SHARING IPHOTO LIBRARIES
Sharing libraries between users on the same local network
You can also share a library on the same machine between users the same way.
Sharing libraries between users on the same machine...
-both users must have sharing enabled in their iPhoto Preferences
-both users must be logged in and have iPhoto running
-Remember that you can only view the other library. You can't edit the photos or play the saved slideshows or view the made books or burn them to CD or DVD. The books and slideshows will show up as an album. You can play that album as an "on the fly" slideshow. You can drag images from the sharing library to your library in the source column to import them to your library. You can then edit, add to albums, books, slideshow, etc.

SHARING ONE IPHOTO LIBRARY BETWEEN USERS ON SAME MACHINE
You can try one of these three methods:
1- Use iPhoto Library Manager-the paid version
The documentation page will give instructions on how it is done.
2- Sharing one iPhoto library between several users on one machine
3- Share an iPhoto Library in tiger Using ACL's
4- I have also read about ShareAlike
There is no other info on the site about how it works.
I strongly urge anyone wanting to try any of the methods for sharing one iPhoto Library folder among more than one user to backup all iPhoto Library folders before attemptin anything. -
How do i apply a widescreen matt to a rotated clip without the matt rotating too?
Hi,
I'm new to this.... but i have a problem...
Basically some of my footage isn't straight and i rotate it a little but obviously i have the black in the gaps where the image has moved.... but to combat that i want to apply a widescreen matte (which is being applied to the rest of the film anyway)..
BUT when i apply to matte it rotates to the image.... is there anyway to stop this?
Thanksapply a matte to the layer above.
You can create one in Photoshop,
or download my Letterboxer Plugin (free, and I guess will not work in FCP X. :-(
Or use the one Andy Mees has built. ( http://web.me.com/andymees/Free_and_Easy/main/Entries/2008/1/23_Andy%E2%80%99s_L etterbox_2.html )

I really cannot see exactly where to start
select the head with one of Photoshop's selection tools
When doing this, I find it quite helpful to create an intermediate image with a transparent background that contains only the head to be pasted into the second image. First I paste the head onto this transparent background, scale it, rotate it or skew it to make it fit into the other image, adjust the lighting, then select it.
To be able to paste the head seemlessly into the second image (and without aliasing effects), I make the border of the selection soft (⌥⌘D); my Photoshop has a german interface, so I am not sure about the english localization, this command must be something like "selection -> modify selection -> soft border".
I would not bother to get the lighting and color excactly right in Photoshop, that is far easier with the "dodge" and "burn" brushes and color adjustments in Aperture.
To do this completely in Aperture, you would have first to combine both images into one (for example by creating a book page), then use the retouche->clone tool to stamp the head from one image to the other. I use this occasionally to stamp a face into a flower bud or for similar effects. However, for this to work you need a plain background and nearly circular shapes to be pasted.

I have had my itunes account connected to my work email address for the past few years. I am now changing jobs and I am trying to change the email account connected to my itunes account. When I entered my personal email account it says there was already an account associated with that email address but I've never used it for anything since I created it a long time ago. Is there a way to cancel that account so that my personal email address is free to use on my current account that I currently have linked to my work email address?
Maybe he's referring to renaming another iTunes Store account after making the email address null and available to be used. Otherwise, I agree with you that it is pointless.

Is there a way to do this WITHOUT the Directional Feather tool? That tool has limited options for transparency. I know Photoshop lets you do this.
Thanks. That's what I thought I might need to resort to. It's disappointing that multiple effects is not longer an option.
