Is it possible to use a vector filter mask for smart filters?

Hello
I have a very specific question. With smart objects, you can use smart filters and you can use a smart filter mask to define the filter effect area. Now, the filter mask is like a regular layer mask, in that its effectively a raster image. I'm wondering if it's possible to use a vector filter mask as well? I haven't yet found an option to do so. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm using Photoshop CS5.
Thank you

I'm wondering if it's possible to use a vector filter mask as well?
Not to the best of my knowledge.
A possible workaround (depending on the SO) might be to duplicate it, apply the Filter and apply the Vector Mask to the SO itself.

Vector SmartObjects: using as vector layer mask

Hello,
I have pasted a vector graphic from AI CS3 to PSP CS3 as SmartObject. Is it possible to use this vector graphic (without rasterizing) as the vector layer mask? If so, how to do this?

I don't think this is possible. You will have to copy&paste the outline path once more and then assign it as a mask.

Is it possible to use an external hard drive for time machine backup and also as a regular hard drive?

I am using an external drive in the exact way that you described. You just keep it plugged in to the computer when you want to access the movies and files. In order to put files on it, just go to finder open up the drive under devices and drag and drop files onto the drive. It is just like using a usb drive with a terabyte of space.

Hi! I have 1 credit card and 2 more apple id. Is it possible to use this credit card information for all my apple id?

Hi! I have 1 credit card and 2 more apple id. Is it possible to use this credit card information for all my apple id?

Though you are being asked for card details it doesn't necessarily mean that the card will be charged for the purchase (unless you want to gift content). Have you tried entering your card's details to confirm the account ? You should then be able to remove it.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582 :
When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance
Is it a new account ? If it is then unless a new account is created by following the instructions on this page (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then you will need to enter card details (debit cards are no longer accepted in all countries) before the account can be used to download any item from the store.

Is it possible to use aim with a mac for free?

Is it possible to use aim with a mac for free?

If you mean the application AIM for Mac, it will depend on your download speed.
If you mean "Can I use iChat with an AIM a screen name and does it cost anything ?" then the answer is Yes you can and no it does not cost and there is no download to do.
If you mean "Can I use the AIM service with an @mac screen name and can this be done for free ? " then the answer is again yes.
A trail account cost nothing and will work in ichat after the 60 days is up
A Paid for but Lapsed account will also work in iChat and for this purpose can now be considered free.
As I said and hinted at before your first question does not make it clear what you are actually asking.
The Application AIM for Mac is stuck at version 4.7 and does not do Video or Audio Only chats.
It has things that are useful in tweaking Buddy Lists in iChat but it is not specifically needed to contact AIM Buddies.

Possible to use Azure SQL as database for RD Connection broker high availability?

I am looking in to setting up a highly available Remote Desktop services service on Azure and note that the high availability for the Connection Broker service needs a full SQL database (rather than the LocalDB used for one instance). Is it possible
to use an Azure SQL database for these purposes (i.e. opposed to VMs running SQL Server)?
Has anyone had any experience with this? This would be nice as I am not looking at thousands of users and the Azure SQL would provide the high availability for the database without creating multiple (expensive) VMs running SQL server.

So far there's no such a feature in azure sql, you can vote for it

jasontc:
The answer is yes. If you use the "alias" method (in iPhoto's Advanced Preference pane - don't copy files when importing) you can use your own source folder system. You can also share the source files with another image management application. There are some unique issues, however. Any edit of a photo by iPhoto is not seen by the other application as the edited version is saved in iPhoto's Modified folder. If the other application can perform edits on the source file and save the edits to the actual source file, iPhoto's thumbnail of that file will not reflect the change but the edit will display when you open the photo in iPhoto's edit window or use that photo in a book or slideshow. If iPhoto hasn't edited before hand. If iPhoto edits the other application's edited version the source file is not touched. Also any file added to an existing source folder has to be manually imported into iView and then moved within iPhoto from its roll to the roll representing the source folder it was placed in via the Finder. When moved in iPhoto the source file will physically be moved to that folder in the Finder. Hope I haven't confused you with this convoluted description.
So with some quirks you can use another application like iView MediaPro on the same set of source files.
I do the above with iPhoto and iView.

Thank you for the answers so far, but I'll make one correction: I said earlier that the Boston Globe website, boston.com, does not have a mobile site, and I would need to visit their regular website on my iPhone. Actually, I just found out that boston.com has a mobile site, so I'd obviously use that instead of the regular site. By doing that, I'd save a ton of data (I think). Does that change your answers?

Is it possible possible to use a WD "My Passport for Mac" External HD with a Chromebook?

Hello . . .
I am a photographer who is seriously thinking of purchasing a Chromebook to utilize for both online and offline editing while in the field. I'm wondering if it is possible to use a Western Digital "My Passport for Mac" to store and retreive my images as an external drive for both storage and retrieval using a CB.
Does any one know if I will have to do any special formatting to use this drive with a Chromebook? And, if so, what do I need to know/do to do it?
Thanks very much for any information that might be provided.
David
Solved!

The "My Passport for Mac" is listed here (both the WDBLUZ0010BSL-NESN and the WDBZYL0020BSL-NESN).

Is it possible to use my snow leopard software for my macbook pro on an iMac or more iMacs?

Here is the reason why i'm asking this question that sounds silly to me in a way...... i got the 2011 15.4inches macbook pro 2 weeks ago ..... it came with the last snow leopard os x but since the lion was out and i was eligible for an upgrade i got it striaght away for free in the apple store and did not use the snow leopard.... now here is the situation.... i was talking to a friend last night and he told me to give him the CD for the OS x snow leopard that he wanted to upgrade his imac to that....but i told him that i did not think that would work because in most cases i know even in windows os these kind of CDs are protected and are made for that pc it is installed on but he kept on insisting it would work and telling me how experienced he is in using a mac for 7 years and what ever cd protection happened to only pc and not mac(the funny thing is that he said he has experience but has never tried it before) so to cut the long story short i told him that i would get back to him....... so here i am again today asking a question that might even prove my thoughts right.....
valuable community.....PLEASE IS IT POSSIBLE TO USE MY MACBOOK PRO OPERATING SYSTEM CD ON A FRIENDS IMAC? because i dont believe it is possible because if it was, no one will ever upgrade to any os in a mac... they will just look for oppotunities to get it from a friend or family who has one.... hope im not the only one thinking that this question is a silly one lol....... please i really need your answers to show this experienced mac user of 7 years since he told me that i can install my os on more macs.... how possible it that...i dont know...
Thanks in Advance for your replies

Hi Chris,
I'm guessing it's the "old" gray disc, which is usually hardware specific to your exact model. I'd keep it if I were you, you may want to install it.

Possible to use ServiceCenter's Oracle database for Content Management?

Hi,
I have a quick question, and I would really appreciate if any of you have a quick answer for me.
My company is sourcing for a Content Management option as a complement to the object information that can be stored in ServiceCenter's CMDB. We are working towards a complete information storage solution, where the CMDB is the obvious master for all object information.
Our ServiceCenter/CMDB solution is run on an Oracle database. We have an interest in possibly using an Oracle Content Management solution on top of the existing Oracle database.
A question was raised if the Content Management solution can use ServiceCenter's Oracle database for storing documents, ie act as a Content Management database?
The documents need to be fully searchable from Oracle's Content Management product. The solution should support storage of a large amount of data and documents and be scalable. It is critical that this in no way lower ServiceCenter's performance.
Please bear in mind that I'm not a technician, but involved in the portal/Content Management aspect of the project. I'm also responsible for the user environment of our ServiceCenter-implementation.
Best regards

Hi Harsha,
Are you going to use the same ERP server for Content server as well? Are you planning to store the documents of this ECC system to the content server only?
If yes, what is the use of that, Anyways all the documents will be stored on this server only for this ECC system. Please go through the link given by Mr Saxena above, that will give you a clear picture of how the content server works.
You can install content server with Max DB although you already have oracle installed on your linux server.
I would suggest you to check the stuff about content server and get your concepts cleared up before going ahead. if you are not clear, you may end up crashing your existing ERP system as well.

Is it possible to use the same OSSO/OID for multiple R11 and R12 instances?

Hello guru's,
We have multiple R11and R12 instances that should be configured for Oracle SSO 10.1.4.3. For OID, we are still trying to decide between OID 10.1.4.3, or OID 11g. OAM is not an option because we also also need OSSO integration with Siteminder. We will also need to SSO-enable Discoverer an Forms.
I have successfully configured SSO for a single-instance EBS R12, but not for multiple instances, let alone include R11 and other components into the mix.
Do you have any special tips, guidance or lessons learned when SSO-enabling multiple instances into the same SSO/OID?
Thanks!
Maria

Interestingly, the article talks about using the same SSO/OID for EBS, JD Edwards, Peoplesoft multiple R11 instances, but did not mention 'multiple EBS versions'. Am I just being picky or there was a reason for it not being mentioned?In Steven Chan blog (in the same link), see the following:
Comprehensive Single Sign-On Solution+
If you have one or more E-Business Suite Release 11i instances and are tired of maintaining users separately for each environment, you can create a central OracleAS 10g environment and manage all 11i users in one place.
If you have a combination of PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, and the E-Business Suite in your organization, you can use OracleAS 10g to manage users for all three environments centrally.
If you have a combination of the E-Business Suite and custom applications based on Oracle databases or OracleAS 10g technology, you can use OracleAS 10g to manage users for all applications in a single place.
Thanks,

Is it possible to use the firewire power adapter for ipod to charge an Ipad

There is information everywhere that the Ipad doesn't charge with low power adapters.
The first power adapter I received with my first Ipod was the firewire power adapter and it allows intensities even higher than the 10 W Ipad adapter.
Could this old adapter be used with Ipad
Model n. A1070 output 12V 6.7 A if I believe what is written on it.

You should only use a USB-type charger for the ipad. Any other charger is risking damage to the ipad.
The ipad uses 5Volts at 2 amps for best charging. This is why it came with the wall charger.
You can charge it with any 5 Volt USB charger as long as the output amps is approximately 1 amp or more. If the amps rating on the charger is less than 2 amps, it will charge slower, but it is safe. The ipad will only draw the current it requires, but any voltage higher than 5 volts is risking damage to the ipad.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to use Zero phase filter for continuous filtering?

I have to filter a large amount of data without any phase shift from original signal. The Zero phase filter does it but it has to be used in single shot mode. It doesn't have any "Init/Cont" input terminal which other filters have. Is there any way to implement zero phase filtering to filter data continuously?

AJ_CS wrote:
The zero phase filtering method seen in your thread will work, if the filtering happens as a single shot operation. It will remove the edge effects of zero phase filtering.
But for an application wherein data arrives as small blocks, it has to filter each block of the data and also it has to maintain the continuity of filtering.
For example in every 1 sec, I'm getting 500 samples of data. I have to use this zero phase filtering for each block of 500 samples, in each second. But what seems to happen is, between the end of one data block and beginning of next data block( between 500th sample and 501th sample or between the end of 1st sec data and beginning of 2nd sec data), there is a discontinuity, or distortion.
Normal IIR (butterworth)filter maintains this continuity between data blocks, but with phase shift.
Zero phase filtering doesn't introduce any phase shift but it is unable to maintain the continuity, it seems.
Is it possible to have a filter meeting both these requirements?
In a nut-shell yes.
It will require you apply the technique I illustrated in that thread repeatedly each time you get an update. The "reflection about the end points" cleans up the disconinuities. I suspect there may be some theory that what you end up with can not be proven using any formal math approach, but it closely mimics what the human mind does when we ask ourselves "If it continues like that that, what do I expect?".

Why not simply use Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection. You can download it free here <--- clickety clicky
Once you install it on your Mac you can connect to your PC and run it from your iMac. It's pretty straightforward to set up.
