Inner shadow box with paper fill overprinting?

(Mac Pro 4,1 / 2.66 GHz Quad/12G InDesign: CS6 / Ver. 8.0.2)
I have 2 boxes filled with paper and Inner shadow effect with black (created in InDesign), Background is a 4 color linear gradient (left is 4c green, middle is paper, right 4c green) from Illustrator.
The Inner shadow box that is close to the top of gradient (more green than white) is ok.
The Inner shadow box that sits on the paper fill of the gradient, appears to be overprinting, thus no paper fill.
I have check fills of the Inner shadow box in InDesign, to make sure it is not overprinting.
I have tried some tricks but nothing works.
Ideas anyone?

I found the solution:
You should never use white as a color in a gradient. I have always been told to use 5-10% of the gradient color.
This gradient create in Illustrator using:
left is 4c green, middle is paper, right 4c green
Solution:
Duplicated the green and made a spot
modified gradient to:
left 4c green, middle 8% of Spot green, right 4c green
Been a few years and I forgot prepress 101, white is not a color and should never be used in a gradient.
Hope this helps someone in the future.
Thank you Leonie15

Drawing a box with now fill and an outline

I know this is simple, but I it's driving me crazy. Using the rectangle tool how do you draw a box with: an outline and no fill, and an outline with a different color fill. thanks

}I wrote this mainly to make sure I wasn't giving you bad info, but I also improved your paint method a little bit. It's a JFrame instead of a JApplet, so you'll have to make some changes, but it gives the full range of black to white (although it doesn't include full brightness white, the B value only goes to .99).

Is there a way to make the Inner Shadow to only render over the fill, and not stroke of a rectangle?

To be precise, I want to recreate this button in Fireworks (original here):
I created a rectangle with the stroke set to the dark orange color, and the fill to the light yellow color. Then I wanted to add a white inner shadow with 50% opacity to make the effect that's visible in the inner top, left, and right edges. However the shadow is also affecting the stroke. Is there a way to make it only affect the fill?
Thanks.

Actually, you can control the stacking order of filter effects. So you could apply the Inner Shadow effect to the object without the stroke, and then add the Stroke via the Photoshop Live Effects (at the bottom of the Filters menu).
Both this and the Gradient Fill options would allow you to save the appearance as a Style, where it could then be applied to other buttons or objects.

In Adobe CC 2014 has the styling options been removed for gradient fills and inner shadows?

I was just setting up a simple button and can't seem to find the way to fill it with a gradient fill or apply an inner shadow to one of the states.

Hi Gary,
Here is the option for the gradient fill, http://prntscr.com/3woegn and here is the option for the inner glow, which can be used to create the effect of inner shadow, http://prntscr.com/3wofmd

How to fill combo box with list of all SQL server

Ok, I know how to find all SQL servers that I need, I have code for that task, and I have Array of all servers.
My problem is ...
I made setup project and do a huge work, and in the end this task appear!
I used ORCA tool to change TextBox (A) template in visual studio (2008 by the way), and I transform first TextBox to ComboBox.
Now, the little part that I'am missing is how to fill this combo box with a result of my function for listin SQL servers?
Can I somehow send combobox object to myMethod:
private void FillCombo(ComboBox cmb)
// do the job
or
instanceOfThisCombo.Items.Add(listOfSQLServers);
please help me to solve this... thanksc#

Hi Valerij,
The ComboBox control in an MSI dialog uses the ComboBox table to populate the items in it. To get what you want, you need to update the ComboBox table in the MSI package with your application and run the MSI package. The following KB article describes how to dynamically populate a ListBox control in Windows Installer:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291329
This method introduced in the above KB article also applies to populating a ComboBox control in Windows Installer.
I don't think it's possible to run the application as a Custom Action from within the MSI package because the application will modify the content of the MSI package which is currently running. So you need to launch the MSI package from within your application after updating the ComboBox table. In short, when installing, just run your application which updates the ComboBox table and install the MSI package.
Hope this helps.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.
Sincerely,
Linda Liu

I'm running windows 8 with PSE11 some of my pic don't display only a gray box with a paper in side,

I'm running windows 8 with PSE 11 ans some of my pic don't display only a gray box with a paper in side it, when i go to a albums most of my pic don't display

Try selecting the thumbnails (Shift+Click) or (Ctrl+A) to select all, then click on the top menu
Edit à Update Thumbnail For Selected Items
If that doesn’t work close Elements and delete the thumbnail cache by navigating to:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\MyCatalog
In side the MyCatalog folder (or whatever name you gave your catalog) you should find a CACHE file:
thumb.5.cache
After deleting that file restart the elements Organizer and wait whilst it regenerates thumbnails.
N.B. The ProgramData folder is sometimes a system hidden file, in which case please follow these instructions before starting.

How to fill selection box with clientside data?

i want to make a html form that reads option values from the client.
Because there are too many data, it's not reasonable for me to design a page which connects to server each time to fill the selection boxes.Instead i want to check if data resides at the clientside, if so fill selection boxes with that data, if not download it for the first time and store it on the client for later local retrieval.In addition i must be able to update that data residing on the client when i want.

Hi,
I can tell you some hints. Use cookies to store the information on to the client-side. You can read data from cookies using JavaScript. If you want to store huge amount of data on to the client-side, perhaps this would not be a better idea. In J2EE architecture we often use sessions to store values. You need to design your implementation in such a way that for the first time you fetch all the values from the database and put it in a session, and the next time onwards you can get the values from the session itself and thereby you can avoid going to database each and everytime. Write a Java class which has all the necessary get and set methods and store the object in the session. Using that object reference you can set and get the values from it. I hope this will help you.
Thanks

Draw a box with a stroke, then invert to a fill, causes resizing using the invisible stroke

ID-CS3
Draw a box with a stroke, then invert to a fill, causes resizing using the invisible stroke. Is there a way to fix and have the graphic resize using the fill size without redrawing the shape? Something like expand appearance?
I'm not looking for a workaround or to redraw the shape. This problem description was used to present the simplest explanation to recreate the problem.

I'm not sure I understand your question/problem, but if I make a box with an outside stroke and assign a stroke color, then... invert the stroke and fill, the stroke gets redrawn as a centered stroke --- it is no longer an outside stroke.
This seems to me to be incorrect behavior, but it's more likely I just don't understand *why* this happens.

InDesign 5.5 - Type with drop shadow placed in front of gray box causes "shadow box". Ditto Graphics

I exported this document from InDesign 5.5 using PDFX-4 and sent to the print service provider. The Printer's Proof showed problems in a couple of places:
1. In InDesign, white type with a drop shadow is placed over a background box containing a placed greyscale Illustrator graphic . In the Proof, behind the type box appears a yellow-grayish shadow.
2. In InDesign, a photo (placed greyscale Photoshop file), with a white border and drop shadow, is placed over a grey background box (CMYK). In the Proof, behind the graphic box and shadow appears a gray shadow box (lighter than the drop shadow).
The printer informed me that he doesn't have PDFX-4. I resent the job using PDFX-3(1.3). Will that solve the problem, or is there some other problem?
The printer needs to go to press, so don't have much time.

You should probably ask in the InDesign forum. Looks like everything you are doing is InDesign specific.

Drop shadows on text do not behave in the same way to inner shadows on objects

I have piece of text with a drop shadow on top of a box which has an inner shadow. In both cases, the shadows are CMYK black, with 100% opacity, applied using the Multiply method.
When designing, things appear correctly (note background is CMYK magenta, but will change once this issue is resolved):
When outputting in the Press format, with everything left as defaults, then two issues are seen, firstly is the Yucky Box Problem, the second is the drop shadow has lost it's colour, and looks as it does if I choose Normal for the shadow type. Note the PDF viewer is Apple Preview in Lion:
If I embed the CMYK colour profile I'm using (Coated FOGRA39), then the YBP goes away, but the colour of the shadow is still wrong:
Finally, if I force the transparency to be flattened, it appears correctly but with a thin white line (note profiles are not being embedded in this case):
Case 1
Case 2
Case 3
Case 4
What I would like to know is how to ensure the output is as it should be in the final case, but without the white line, i.e. without flattening. It's worth noting that if the text is located in the main, white, area of the page, then it works correctly in all cases (except the Yucky Box Problem situation which is easily resolved). Thanks in advance!

That seems to have resolved the problem. Interestingly, the 'Yucky Box Problem' doesnt seem to occur regardless of whether I'm importing the profile or not, I guess Adobe Reader is doing it's own stuff with the colour space which Preview isn't. Thanks again for your help!

Inner Shadow missing feature?

I'm looking for a better alternative to my current vector graphic applications, mostly to create modern web and application UI's.
So I downloaded the trial version of Illustrator CC, to see if I should make the jump to Illustrator for vector work.
After using about half a day to learn the applicaiton and do some experimentation, I was going to apply an Inner shadow to some text on a button, to make it look indented, and was like "What the.....where's the Inner Shadow Effect?".
I could see the Drop Shadow feature, and there's an Inner Glow feature (can't be offset), but that doesn't solve the problem of making shapes and text look indented.
If anyone doesn't know what I mean, just browse 'Inner Shadow' on google, it's such a fundamental feature.
Photoshop has it.
InDesign has it.
Fireworks has it.
Even Sketch, the app for Mac has it. And Acorn has it as well.
Hell, I can even write it in CSS3:
.example {
-moz-box-shadow: inset -5px -5px #888;
-webkit-box-shadow: inset -5px -5px #888;
box-shadow: inset -5px -5px #888;
So I looked around the web, and realized Illustrator has no Inner Shadow feature (!!), but there are work arounds. Here's an example:
http://vectorboom.com/load/effects/innershadow/3-1-0-257
(Or this:)
http://www.webdesign.org/raster-graphics/fireworks/mastering-shadows-in-photoshop-illustra tor-and-fireworks-who-s-the-winner.19730.html
Sorry, but when you are used to applying something so fundamental as Inner Shadow, to make your shapes and texts look indented with a single click (and easily adjust it live and experiment), then it's hard to get used to Illustrator.
And when something so basic is missing, then you can only fear what else will also hinder you, as you continue to learn the application and try to make the switch.
Looking at the forum and others who have requested the same thing, and for so long, it sadly also says something about how much adobe listens to the community.
Sorry but this is a deal breaker for me, and my trial stops here.
I'm sure Illustrator can do a lot of other fancy things, but since it still havent figured out the fundamentals (shadow and indented), I'm not buying.

Yeah Photoshop, and most other vector applications I've tried (even CSS3 stylesheet has it!).
I searched the web and found out this feature has been much requested and needed for many many years.
What I get from that, is that Adobe is not a developer that listens to it's community. And that's what I get from just using the Trial version of their latest software, Illustrator CC...there is no excuse for not having inner shadow in a vector graphics application, especially not one that's this expensive, just makes it embarrising.
Damn, I was hoping to switch to Illustrator...

Inner shadow

Hi,
In InDesign CS3 there is an option to create an inner shadow in a vector object. Is it possible to do the same in Illustrator CS3.
Thanks,
Meryl

Not as an effect. You can accomplish the look by:
 
 1. Duplicate the object or text.
 2. Offset the front object.
 3. Blur the front object.
 4. Select both objects and select "Object>Clipping mask>Make (Cmd-7)
 5. Select just the mask object (the back object) and fill it with the intended shadow color.

Shadow box not displaying in Captivate 5.0

I have a client who is working with Captivate 5.0 and when she imports an image into her project the shadow box feature under the properties tab does not show up. Am I missing a setting to where the shadow feature can be turned on? I use Captivate 5.5 and that feature is live when I place/import an image.

Shadow accordion is a new feature in CP5.5. If you want to have a shadow in CP5.0 you have to apply an Effect (category filters) where you'll find almost the same tweaking options, but the Effect will not be visible in editing mode as is the case for the new shadow in 5.5

Photoshop: Making a text box with color or border.

How do you fill a text box in Photoshop?
Answer: You CAN’T.
Solution: You CAN do anything you want in Photoshop -we know it’s GREAT - but the steps are not always so easy. See below for solutions to making it seem that the text box is filled with color, bordered, semi-tansparent etc.
In Photoshop, a text box is mostly about the text inside and less about the box that surrounds it. In other words, the box is always transparent and all effects apply to the font shapes typed inside by the user. Photoshop (CS4) can produce incredible, professional, amazing text images. No Doubt About It!
A Photoshop text box can display one of two types of bounding boxes:
Its OBJECT bounding box is there for moving the whole text layer, rotating it, duplicating it and distorting. Clicking once on the text layer pallet and selecting the move tool (v) will produce this bounding box. The direct selection tool (a) won’t recognize it. Note: If you try to resize the box as an object, it also distorts/stretches the text inside. This can make cool effects but usually you want the text to stay the way the font was designed. See: Layers>Type>Warp Text.
The TEXT bounding box is there for highlighting, re-typing and selecting the margins of the actual text/paragraph etc. Selecting the text tool and clicking over existing text will produce this bounding box.
Some features are accessible in either mode.
The Photoshop text tool has two types of cursors:
The NEW text box cursor looks like a text insertion cursor (often seen in word processing) WITH a dotted box around it.
To produce the new text box cursor just select the text tool and move over to a new work area.
The EDIT text cursor looks very much like the ordinary cursor people are familiar with (no dotted box).
To produce the edit text tool, hover the text tool over EXISTING text and the cursor changes to the simple insertion shape (without the dotted box). A click now will put you into text editing mode, not new text box mode. This drove me batty for a while because I was used to clicking anywhere inside an existing text box and the blinking cursor would pop in automatically - usually at the end of the last letter. This doesn’t happen in Photoshop; if that NEW text box tool is active, it will try to place a new box anywhere you click sometimes overlapping another.
When in this mode (edit existing text) you can carefully hover the arrow to the edges of the text box and resize the bounding box without altering the shape of the text itself. This is how you make the text box larger or smaller to fit/accommodate your needs. You can also highlight text, insert between words/letters. Highlighted text is available for changing its font, color, size, cutting/pasting etc.
To get OUT of the EDIT text mode, click the check box on the tool column above or type enter (not return) or type cmd-return (MAC), ctrl-return (WIN). If you want to cancel any changes to an existing text box click the ex-circle on the tool column or press the esc key (top left of keyboard-escape key)
OK, THE MAIN POINT:
To make an effect that looks like a text box that is filled, bordered, semi-transparent etc., you will have to create an object shape (box) and place it just behind (under) the text box. Linking the two allows you to move them around easily. The drawback is that, when you need a larger box, you’ll have to alter the size of both boxes and possibly re-center them to each other (I know it’s sort of dumb to have so many steps just to get a shaded text box or bordered one.)
Begin by selecting the Rectangle shape tool and draw a shape on the screen of any size. In the layers pallet a layer is created with two items (layer thumbnail and vector mask) Double click the one on the left the layer thumbnail). Change its color to a light one such as baby blue or yellow.
Now select the text tool and click once over that shape. A text box is created exactly the same size of the rectangle (any shape will work too).
Type some text into that box and change the font type, size and color to something you might use regularly. Check to see that the text color is black (can be changed later). The text automatically wraps around when you reach the edge of this box and fits well (inside margins can be altered by pixel later).
Now link the two boxes to one another. Shift-click each layer in the layers pallet to select both and choose the link button at the bottom of the window for layers or go to Layers>Link Layers. Now when you move one it will move the other too!
Using the paragraph tools you can center text, indent first line, and add space between paragraphs. Except the first paragraph seems too close to the top of the colored rectangle; doesn’t it? Photoshop won’t add extra leading (horizontal space) between the text box and the top of the first paragraph.
There are two ways to fix this:
1.     Select the text tool and click inside the existing text then hover the pointer just above the little box/tab in the top center of that rectangle and bring it down just a bit.
2.     Or you could unlink the two layers (to unlink just click link again while one of the two layers is selected in pallet) and move the colored rectangle up just a bit.
In the first instance it was not necessary to unlink the boxes. This is the advantage because altering the colored rectangle without unlinking will distort your text as will altering the text box if you are not in object text mode (see intro.)
Ok, some advantages:
Now that you have this set up you can use the background box (colored rectangle) to make other effects. Select it as a separate layer but you won’t have to unlink it. To make the box semi-transparent change either the layer OPACITY or the layer FILL (found in the layer pallet).
To create a border box:
1.     Select the colored rectangle box and under Layers>Styles>Blending Options (or just double click in an open area of the layer pallet for that shape.)
2.     Select Stroke, change: Fill Type color, Color black, Size 4, Position inside, Blend Mode normal, Opacity 100%. Click OK/Apply
3.     Back in the layer pallet, change the Fill to 0% and you will just have a border with attached text box. You may have to alter the inside text box again depending on the thickness of that border especially if you made the Position to be inside to keep the sharpness of the rectangle.
4.     Yes this will work with other shapes and even custom shapes. Remember to draw the shape first and immediately place a new text box over it BEFORE any other alteration is done. This ensures that Photoshop creates a text box exactly the same size/dimension of your chosen shape. It even makes margins fit irregular shapes like triangles.
5.     Try it!

EDGE and HTML dynamic text in a "box" with scroll bar

I'm new to EDGE, a win7pro master collection cs5.5 suite owner. I'm mainly in the Film/Video post production field (mostly AE, PPro, Pshop, IA) but have been branching into web design the last couple of years. I use Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash. While I'm a expert user with all the Film/video apps, I would say I only have intermediate ability with the web apps. While I understand a lot of programing logic bulding blocks I'm not a coder.
So since we're told "flash is dead", my interest in Edge is to try to do some of the things that I can currently do in flash in EDGE. I was excited when Edge first came out but lost interest when it became obvious that Adobe was not going to offer Edge and Muse to "suite owners" but only in their force feeding of the "Cloud". Better known as the "golden goose" for adobe stockholders and a never ending perpetual hole in the pocket for users. Anyway....
I spent the last couple of days doing some of the tuts and messing with the UI. It's matured a lot since I was here last.
I've been working on a flash site for a sports team where one of the pages is a player profile page where college recuriters and other interested parties can view recuriting relavent info/stats about players. This is how it works. While on the "Team" page a users clicks on a button labled "Player Profiles" . (Animation) A "page" flies in and unfurls from the upper right corner (3d page flips effect created in AE played by flash as a frame SEQ). Once it lands filling most of the center of the screen there is a bright flash. As the brightness fades we see the "page" is a bordered box with a BG image of a ball field(End). (Animation) from behind the border in fly small pictures (player head shots with name and jersey number). They stream in and form a circle like a wagon train and the team logo zooms up from infinity to the center of the circle(End). As the user mouses over a player's pic it zooms up a little and gets brighter (like mouseover image nav thumbs for a image slider). If the user clicks on a player's head shot it flips over and scales up to become a text box with a scrollbar. The content of the box is a mix of images, static and dynamic text fields populated from data in an "player info data base" XML file, and some hyperlinks. It's all kept updated dynamicaly with current stats, info and images from the XML file. There is also a "PDF" button that allows the user to open/save/print a PDF of the player's profile (the PDF's are static files for now but the choice of which pdf to retrive is dynamicaly supplied via the XML file.
So.... Is Edge now able to do something like this? Would it need to be a collection of small animations? could these be "assembled" and connected as an asset in dreamweaver ?
I thought I would approach this from the end (ie click on an image and display a box with dynamic TEXT fileds. ) since that is the most important part, ie displaying the dynamicaly updated profile info. Sooooo....
Can Edge display a scrolling text box with Images, static text, and html dynamic text in it??
