Is it possible to import color tints and gradients in AI5?

I've got a few hundred illustrations to import from FreeHand and convert from black-only art to 4-color process. I've developed a palette of four basic colors, and I want to create and apply selected tints of them (usually 80%, 60%, 40%, and 20%). I also have a gradient that fades from my background color tint to white.
I built a master file of all these global CMYK colors and their tints applied to boxes as well as my gradient and a handful of graphic and paragraph styles. As a quick method of importing these, I just selected all my sample objects, then copied and pasted them into my convert ex-FH file.
The master colors came in, as did the the graphic and paragraphic styles, but none of the tints or the gradient.
What am I missing? Please don't tell me I have to recreate all these tint swatches by hand for every document.
Thanks for any help you can provide to an Illustrator newbie.

The ASE export worked fine. The tints are all there, in spite of the warning. I can't see any difference in the behavior of the two types of export.
Here's more information, as I swithced to working on my laptop at home:
I placed my ASE library in the art folder of this textbook project, rather than in the default location, so it would be synced with all my other work on this job and not be left behind on my work machine. That worked fine. Also, as I mentioned the ASE library, when opened in Illustrator, does in fact contain all my tints. If I want to put them all into a document's Swatches, though, I can't use the command from the flyout menu "Add to Swatches." Oh, no, that would be what I actually want and what I would expect. All that does is add the four global colors; it ignores all the tints. Instead, I have to select all the colors and tints and DRAG them to the Swatches panel. Fine. Whatever.
Anyway, in case my earlier allusion to a Colors & Styles panel confused people, it confused me too, today when I went to look for that under the Windows menu to turn it on. Turns out it was the name of the file where I built all my master colors and graphic styles, and hence became the default name of the ASE library I exported. Open that Libary, get a floating panel named Colors & Styles. Simple.
I'm slowing catching on...

Is it possible to import new slides and keep the audio?

Hi,
is it possible to import new slides and keep the audio?
The designers have changed the housestyle of the powerpoints,
but the audio has been recorded in captivate in the meanwhile. Is
it possible to keep the audio of the files and replace all the old
powerpoint slides with new ones? (not one by one by hand off but
all in one button press ?)
Thanks,

Elearning company.

Hi again Wouter
Are you saying that your Library has lots of other audio that
isn't really used on a slide? If so, try right-clicking the Library
panel and choosing "Select Unused Items". This should highlight all
the sound files not in use. Now press the Delete key and they
should be removed from the Library view.
Now you are faced with just what is left. You may not know
which clip goes with which slide. So try this. In your Film strip,
audio attached to the slide should appear as a Speaker icon in the
corner. Click the Speaker icon and pop down (or up) menu should
display. Choose "Find in Library". This should highlight the
associated clip in the Library. Now, if you like, you may
right-click the file in the Library and rename that to something
like "Slide X audio" (so you know which clip goes with which
slide).
Cheers... Rick

Question About Color's and Gradients

Hi all,
I have a question about color swatches and gradients.
I am curious to know, if I have 2 color swatches that I make into a gradient color, is it posible to change the tint of each indivdual color in that gradient and have that applied to the gradient without having to adjust the gradients opacity.
The reason that I'm asking this is because in creating a project I found that the colors that I chose for to make my gradient from my swatches were to dark, and while I can adjust each one's tint to my liking (if the object they were applied to was going to be a solid color) but that doesn't seem to apply to the overall gradient.
I hope that makes sense, I know that this was something that was able to be accomplished in quark and was wondering if I can do something similar.

If you double click your gradient swatch (after adding it to the swatches)
Then click a colour stop in the gradient, and then change the drop down menu to CMYK (or rgb)
And you can alter the percentages there. It's not much use for spot colours but it's a start.
But making tint swatches would be a good start anyway.
At least then when you double click the gradient (in the swatches) to edit it you can choose from CMYK, RGB, LAB, or Swatches and adjust each colour stop to your liking.

Possibility to import colors from Indesign

Hi there! Since I am probably not the only one who does the first layouts and colors schemes in Indesign before even starting the design in Muse:
It would be amazing to have the possibility to import the colors already set in Indesign directly into Muse.
Best,

Hello Kurt
I'm on SPO5. So I guess this error isnt linked only to SP03.
I have the issue with Indexer also. However I'm using the workaround suggested in this
[thread|Re: MDM Indexer Issue !]
After using the option Import Template, I did try publishing the publication in In-Design to see if the template has been applied, but it was not.
When i use Edit Template option, i'm able to edit a .indt file and save it. But whats the use of that when i'm unable to apply the template
I think anyone from SAP wil be able to answer our questions.

Is it possible to import html files and export them as scorm?

Hi,
is it possible to import html files (like a website) and export them as a SCORM compatible ZIP file?
Thanks!

You can embed html pages in a Captivate slide and they are included in the SCORM zip file when you publish, is this what you mean?

In post #12 of this thread I commented on the Idea of creating controls on the fly
(Artwork courtesy of Christian Altenbach)
And include a link to where I posted this code
Which was part of a community project to help us manage emoticons for use in posting to this site (I still use this on my home machine).
As it stands now it will read in a set of images as defined by a configurtion file and populate the Picture Control with images of the emoticons. If you click on any of them, it will figure out what emoticon you clicked and copy the URL of the emoticon into you clipboard so you can paste it into the dialog for inserting images on this forum.
So it has the following abilities;
File driven set of images
Asssociation of image with info
Abilisty to import new
Automatically fits the controls to the picture.
Now don't dismiss this off-hand because it uses emoticons. The image can be anything you want. Using the image you get from an "invoke node >>>Get image" will work fine and can save you a lot of work since you do not have to code up the functionality of the control.
Now if you can limit the types of controls to a fixed set you can get another advantage to help you "make the controls work" by doing the following.
1) Mouse down picture .... find associated control type
2) Use off-screen hidden control of that type and move it to where the image is in the picture (over top of the picture) and make it visable and give it key focus.
3) Let user interact with the real LV control that is over-top of the image.
4) On enter or mouse leave of the control, get the new image, stuf it in the picture... hide the control that was previously hidden.
I can not leave this topic without again saying that "Controls on the Fly" application carry a large development effort to get them to work correctly.
Here is an image of one of my extreme versions of Controls on the Fly developed explicitly for touch panle interfaces (there are two shown, in this image)
Have fun!

Is it possible to import both HDV and SD(shot in 16x9 format) in the same imovie 11 project? If so, how, please.

I am trying to combine both HDV and SD video in the same project and iMovie 11 doesn't want to accept the two different types of files at the import stage. Help please.

You need to import the footage into iMovie Events. Once they are in an event (or multiple events) you can drag these clips into an iMovie Project and mix them together.

Is it possible to import dreamweaver files and muse files to edge reflow and vice versa?

Hi there are certain things that I can do using edge reflow such as making a mobile and tablet site.
There are certain things I can do with dreamweaver such as making a form with a drop down box.
And there are certain things I can do with muse such as inserting a google maps and paypal widget.
Is it possible to interchange files with these 3 software?

For Muse you can make a mobile/Tablet/Desktop version, it just won't be responsive. So you can't directly pull in HTML from Reflow as page structure. If it has to be responsive use Reflow or Dreamweaver.
Regarding sharing elements between the three you get the very vague answer of "are you good with code?"
As a general rule forget about doing anything with Muse files in any other piece of software. Where you have the cross-over is in the raw generated HTML.

Photoshop CS5 Color Picker and Gradient Maps

I painted a black & white image and put a gradiant map adjustment layer on top to test some colors for the final image.
I set the color picker to "current layer" to keep painting on the black & white Background Layer to get the levels right without actually using color.
But as soon as I open the gradiant map again, the colorpicker picks ONLY the colors from the gradiant map adjustment layer.
Even if I switch off or DELETE the gradiant map, the color picker keeps picking the colors from the gradiant map, that is without ANY color in the whole document.
This seems to be a bug. Can anyone confirm this behaviour?

Thanx for checking. Resetting the preferences seemed to have done the trick. But after I opened the Gradiant Map, it happened again. Fiddling with my settings i finally found the clue. This strange behaviour only happenens, when the Panelwindow of "adjustments" is minimized and docked. As long as the window is fully opened and visible, everything is ok.
Strange though, but glad i found a workaround.
Thanks again.

Import metadata cubes and dimensions

I have defined a set of dimensions and cubes using AWM in a 10g r2 database.
I want to import these definitions to OWB 10.2. I use the import wizard and connect to the database and schema where the AW is defined, the cubes and dimensions are not listed in the import wizard for importing. Why is these objects not listed?
Under the tables I can see the aw$ tables of the AWs defined using AWM.

I remember reading it's still not possible in OWB current version, but it'll be possible in future releases.
In the OWBRel2 FAQ doc. there's some significant info:
"Is it possible to import OLAP dimensions and cubes built using Analytic Workspace Manager?
There will be no Out of the box functionality to support this. However, there will be an Expert than can be downloaded from the Warehouse Builder exchange on OTN. For more information visit the Exchange website at:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/OWBexchange.html
All utilities posted on the Exchange are not part of any Warehouse Builder production release and are, therefore, not supported
Is the OLAP support consistent with the AWM interface. i.e. if I create a mapping in OWB, can I see / edit it in AWM?
Currently, if OLAP objects are modeled and deployed from OWB, the mappings are not visible within AWM. This will be resolved by the 10.2.0.3 database patchset, which will be out shortly."

AVI Clips Imported to CS.5.5 Has Green Tint and Colored Lines

NOTE:
I'm using the video monitor in the CS5.5 program.
Still trying to upgrage to CS5.5 and testing out the trial version. The new challange is the green tint and colored lines on the imported .AVI files.
Any tips would sure be appreciated. Thanks.

This is crazy.
These are AVI files in CS5.5 that have been used for over 10 years in other versions of Premiere.
If I double click on the Monitor when the video is paused, the color corrects to original. Play again and crazy green color and lines.
Now, if I play the clip without double clicking on the monitor window, the clip will play out green and pause green, but if I double click in the monitor window, the video will correct in pause, but still play out green.
Here's one AVI file:

Why do my PRO-100 black and white prints have a color tint?

I am printing on the PIXMA Pro-100 printer and sometimes, for no apparent reason (?), my black and white prints will have a color tint (usually a "redish brown"), and then when printing again... same print, same settings... the same print will be fine, neutral with no tint at all.
Any ideas why?
Also (maybe related?) I don't understand why the Photo-Cyan and Magenta ink cartridges are being depleted when I am NOT printing color, but only Black and White. Am I missing something? When setting up for printing I always make sure the "Black and White Print" feature is selected in the settings dialog "Quick Setup". Doesn't this insure that only the black and grey inks are used as long as I am not "toning"? In other words... if ONLY the black and grey inks are used, isn't the print supposed to be a neutral black and white print? Again... am I missing something?
FYI:
I am printing on Canon Pro Luster and Plus Semi-Gloss papers.
Under "Options - Color Management" I have selected:
(color handling) Photoshop Elements Manages Colors
(image space) Adobe RGB (1998)
(printer profile) Canon PRO-100 <LU> 1/2 Photo Paper Pro Luster
(rendering intent) Perceptual

It looks like you have the settings pretty close. But the fact is all printers use all their cartridges to print B&W.
Whoa, why?
Yes it is true and the reason is this. B&W consists of 256 shades of gray. From totaly black which is 0 to white which is 256.
If you have just one, two or three cartridges to make 256 different blacks and grays all the way to white, it simply isn't possibile.
The ony thing a printer can do is, amount of ink and how long. So it makes up for this by using all it's cartridges. However, in Canon it seems like the Pro-100 tints show up more than it should. There are dedicated B&W printers but they are designed differently to accomplish true B&W.
The tint will be different on different papers. You can experiment to find the paper that does best for you. Try a more gloss type paper and see if you like the B&W. You can try Red River papers, too. They will assist you in picking a good B&W paper.
You can also experiment with filters in PSE. Adding a little blue may help. Just give it a try.
But the bottom line is you are no doing anything wrong. It is just the charchter of the beast.

Is it possible to import and display/plot (Google Earth) KML files as overlays in Mac OS 10.9 Maps application?

Is it possible to import and display/plot (Google Earth) KVM files as overlays in Mac OS 10.9 Maps application?
Here is the particular application: (note I haven't gotten the code to compile yet -- seems to be several differently named environment variables in Mac unix than in Linux that are making the compile blow up -- but that's another issue) there is a freeware application that can do radio path loss prediction and plot path loss contours on a map. It has an option to output the data as KML files which can be imported into Google Earth, in order to display the path loss contours on Google Earth maps. I guess you could liken it to displaying overlays of GIS-like data in Google Earth. I would like to know if there is a mechanism to facilitate importing KML data files to overlay (preferably in a translucent fasion so that you could see the underlying map) onto Mac OS 10.9 Maps?

As I stated, "possibly."
While the commerce side of it has little to do with the KML files, per se, the API for the layer data should allow for any type of overlay.
Also, the patent was filed Dec 19, 2013. There was a related patent filed in 2012. Not sure what it is about.

Is it possible to import photos from a disk and retain the same order?

Is i possible to import photos from a disk and retain the same order they appear on the disk? When I import them, the come out in random order.

When first imported the photos will be sorted in the Event chronologically. On the disk they well be sorted by the Finder and that's usually alphanumerically by file name. So select the photos in the event and type Commnad+N. That will create a new album at the left with the photos in it. Then go to the View ➙ Sort Photo menu and select "By Title". That should give you the same order as you view the photos on the disk via the Finder.
