Is it possible to use Aperture3 to edit a standard photo into a Na'vi?

I am considering buying Aperture3, but I want to know if it is possible to turn a standard photo into something resembling a Na'vi from the movie Avatar? That is do color swaps, alter the ears and eyes etc.
Thanks in advance.

What you need to do that is Photoshop, The Gimp or a software like that.
Aperture has a lot of editing capabilities, but it's intended for photographers, not graphic artists.
However, in Aperture, you can choose to use an external editor for this kind of advanced editing and still keep the original and altered images in a unique, convenient, place.

    In the Windows world you can use RDP to remotely control a (Windows) server for administration purposes. You can also use RDP to connect to a Windows Terminal Server to run user applications on the server and multiple users can do this at the same time.
    It is not possible to use RDP to remotely control a Mac server for administration purposes. You can however use Screen Sharing or VNC (if enabled) or install some other software like TImbuktu Pro to allow the same sort of thing. None of these use the RDP protocol. If your are a mainly or all Mac environment you would use Screen Sharing (Apple's custom version of VNC). You can get Windows versions of VNC and Timbuktu Pro which would therefore allow a Windows machine to remote control the Mac server.
    It is however possible to buy and install a Mac Terminal server solution to allow multiple users to connect and run applications on the Mac server just like a Windows Terminal Server solution except as it is running on a Mac server it will allow running Mac applications rather than Windows applications. This is not for remote controlling the server. There are two such packages for the Mac these being AquaConnect and iRAPP. These can run their own proprietary protocol or they can also allow users to connect via the RDP protocol. This does therefore allow a Mac or Windows user to connect to the Mac Terminal Server and run Mac applications.

  • Is it possible to use Cisco 1721 AUX port to dial into MS-RAS?

    Is it possible to use Cisco 1721 AUX port with external modem to dial into Microsoft W2k-RAS server?

    Hello Thanks for the link. The place where I'm stuck is when the async is going through the LCP negotiation. the LCP Confreg sends but I dont' get back anything. Cisco documentation states "make sure autoselect PPP or Async mode dedicated are set but I'm actually dialing into a Microsoft RAS server. Do you know where these settings are?

  • Standby db-EE edition and Standard edition

    Dear friends,
    10g on solaris 10.
    What are the differences in standby db when using a enterprise edition and standard edition ?..
    Any input will be of great help
    Kai

    Niall and team
    I have read your presentation - "You Probably Don't need dataguard" and I tried it out on test database. I setup a manual standby database, archivelog is manually copied to standby db.
    Maybe you have an idea on regarding SCN or archivelog that is not present but Oracle is asking/suggestion during recovery procedure..
    environment:
    2 virtual box - Solaris 10 Virtual Machine host on Windows XP
    Oracle 10.2.0 Standard Edition
    Primary DB host name: SE
    Standby DB host name: SE2
    archive dest = /export/home/oracle/archive (same on both machine)
    db file = /export/home/oracle/oradata/se , /export/home/oracle/oradata/se2 --> so I used db_file convert parameter in init.ora
    Steps:
    On the newly created database, create a test table and insert values.
    SQL> create table test(a number) tablespace users;
    Table created.
    SQL> insert into test values(&a);
    Enter value for a: 1
    old 1: insert into test values(&a)
    new 1: insert into test values(1)
    1 row created.
    SQL> /

    new 1: insert into test values(21)

    Enter value for a: 31
    old 1: insert into test values(&a)
    new 1: insert into test values(31)
    1 row created.
    SQL> /
    Enter value for a: 41
    old 1: insert into test values(&a)
    new 1: insert into test values(41)
    1 row created.

    Again, insert some values to test table,
    SQL> insert into test values(&a);
    Enter value for a: 33
    old 1: insert into test values(&a)
    new 1: insert into test values(33)
    1 row created.
    SQL> /
    Enter value for a: 44
    old 1: insert into test values(&a)
    new 1: insert into test values(44)
    1 row created.
    SQL> /
    Enter value for a: 55
    old 1: insert into test values(&a)
    new 1: insert into test values(55)
    1 row created.

    Question: Why Oracle is asking archivelog that does not exist? I noticed in other exercise that you can use the redo log instead of archive log that does not exist. Is this because when we create the standby control file, the SCN is in sync with redo log.

    OK, that means that archive log 5 and archivelog 6 are applied to STBY database.
    Question. Why Oracle is asking the arc 7 , is it correct to say that last SCN is based on arc 5 and arc 6. Or is it Oracle behavior to ask the "next" SCN, after the arc 6. when performing recovery? ... that's why we have CANCEL.
    Appreciate your response on this..

  • On the Computer using Adobe Digitial Edition there is no possibility to jump forward/back using the

    I am using a brand new iPad Air and a MacBook Pro with Retina and  on the Computer using Adobe Digitial Edition there is no possibility to jump forward/back using the arrows in the menu. It is not possible to jump to a certain page as well. The overall speed is incredible slow to switch between pages.

    Exact same problem here - Win 7, ADE V3.0.  -  pages wont turn unless I click on the symbol at the top RHS of screen for Full/Normal size screen after Page Up/down or a click on the contents page.
    Hopefully a bug or something, and not a 'feature' :-)

  • Possible to manage the MobileMe galleries made by iPhoto using Aperture3?

    I am considering moving my whole library from iPhoto to Aperture.
    I understand that I can import the whole iPhoto library, but is it also possible to manage the existing MobileMe galleries made by iPhoto using Aperture3, without changing the current URLs of the gallery?
    Thanks.

    I'd like some info on this also.
    Currently I have iphoto publishing photos to Facebook, Mobileme and Flickr. I have imported my iphoto library but none of these folders have imported. Is there a clever way of transferring these over to Aperture (3) such that my mobilem is unaffected as is my Flickr and facebook.
    Aperture 3 already see's my mobileme and I posted a new album to mobileme from Aperture wondering if that would force it to download the other albums on there already but it didn't. You would think there is a way to do this. Otherwise if I have to delete the links in iphoto to facebook and then repost them from Aperture they will show as completely new uploaded photos when a lot of them are years old and at a guess it will re-tag all my contacts who will all think there are new photos of them.
    Likewise will all my flickr comments be lost in the above process and will I effectively be starting from scratch again?
    Any thoughts, ideas, help and guidance would be very much appreciated. I'd like to get away from using both iphoto and Aperture to just using Aperture 3 now it has all the additional functionality of faces that I like to use.
    Thanks

  • CS6 I have a Student and Teacher Edition (incl. 3 license) for Windos. Is it possible to use one of these licenses for mac?

    CS6 I have a Student and Teacher Edition (incl. 3 license) for Windos. Is it possible to use one of these licenses for mac?

    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.

  • Is it possible to use backup files previously copied to an external hard drive to backup an iPhone?

    My sister froze her iPhone by trying to turn it off during a software update (not sure why) and restored it because she thought it would fix it. Unfortunately she unintentionally deleted all of her data and settings. She doesn't use iCloud, so I'm assuming all her files are backed up to her computer when she syncs her iPhone, but using iTunes I can only find two backup points using Edit>Preferences>Devices, both in the past few minutes. I know that each sync overrides the last backup files instead of creating newer ones, so apparently older backup files from her computer can't be used to recover her data. However, we both periodically use an external hard drive to back up our computers by basically dragging and dropping our files onto it, so there is an earlier version of her User folder on the external hard drive. It would definitely be preferable to use the backup files from a few months ago that are on the external hard drive and lose a few photos than to lose years of data, so would it be possible to direct iTunes to those backup files (AppData etc) instead of the ones saved on her computer hard drive? There's not any kind of browse option I can see that could allow me to get iTunes to search for backup files on the external hard drive and I'm not computer savvy enough to manually find the files and connect them to iTunes. Is it even possible to use backup files from an external hard drive? Do I have to replace the ones that exist on her computer now?

    Garageband can't use VST plugins.
    If you're talking about AUs: you could try to put an alias into the HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components folder instead of the actual files, and see if GB loads them.

  • When using a personal dropbox account, is it possible to use the mapped drive without downloading all my dropbox files to my hard drive as well?

    When using a personal (not business) dropbox account on my mac book pro, is it possible to use the mapped drive only?  Currently I have dropbox mapped to my computer but it is also saving a redundant copy of the data on my hard drive.  My goal is to pull, edit and save files on the mapped drive only without having a redundant back up of all my dropbox files on my computer wasting valuable storage space.   Any advice out there?  Thanks in advance for your help!

    I don't believe that is accurate, but maybe I am missing something (I am not a Windows user).
    Looking at 2 explanation of how to map a Dropbox as a drive…
    http://lkeng.org/wp/?p=147
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d8uvseVr5A
    Both of those are linking to the 'local copy' of Dropbox. It is not a true 'network' drive as far as I can see (it still requires the local copy on the PC).
    Another video suggests using another service to mount the Dropbox, but that is not using Dropbox anymore, it is going through Otixo…
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAIpm2qmglU
    Dropbox does not provide easy to use URL's to mount as a network disk so I don't think this is possible on OS X.
    Dropbox's forum has this too…
    https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/202133795-How-to-ma p-dropbox-as-a-network-drive-on-Mac?loca…
    You may need to examine the Windows computers carefully - if they have Dropbox installed & running then all the files are stored on the local machine in addition to the 'mapped drive'.
    It looks to me like people are 'redirecting' the local copy to appear like a remote disk just so they can address that path on other machines - each PC is being setup the same. You could create aliases on OS X, but it doesn't help move files off the machine.
    Hopefully someone else will contradict me, but I don't think this is how Dropbox works.

  • Is it possible to use NAS storage (which is wired via LAN to AirPort Extreme) as a Time Machine destination?

    Is it possible to use NAS storage (WD My Cloud EX2 or WD My Cloud EX4) which is wired via LAN to current AirPort Extreme, as a Time Machine backup destination?
    There are two reasons I came up with this question.
    - Connecting via Ethernet should be faster than USB 2.0 connection
    - 8TB NAS storages are slightly cheaper than 8TB USB HDD
    If it is impossible, I am planning to buy My Book Thunderbolt Duo 8TB and wire it for MacBook Pro directly for the purpose of Time Machine backup.
    I have a concern with my primal idea of backing up via WiFi, as I tend to handle big files when doing music production or movie editing. I wonder if this affect the performance of MacBook Pro, as it might take more time to complete each backup via WiFi.
    Many thanks for your advice in advance,

    MacBook Pro Retina 15 inch (Mid 2012)

    The XML menu model extends the Trinidad TreeModel, which extends Collection model. This allows you to access the hierarchical menu structure so that you can use af:iterator to build a structure to display in a af:menuBar

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to use SOA Suite 11g with JDeveloper's integrated WebLogic?

    Is it possible to use SOA Suite 11g with JDeveloper's integrated WebLogic? Or do you have to install an external WebLogic?
    Thanks for help.
    Edited by: user7722720 on 07-Dec-2011 02:04

    Hi
    By default, NO it is NOT possible to deploy any SOA Applications on Integrated Weblogic Server that comes with JDeveloper. This integrated weblogic server is very light weight basic weblogic server with single domain (only 1 AdminServer) to deploy a standard J2EE, ADF Applications like EJBs, WebApps, WebServices, ADF Apps etc. BUT SOA (having BPEL, BPMs etc ) cannot be deployed.
    There is an option to upgrade this integrated weblogic server and install SOA on top of this. Like download soa installer that matches with your JDeveloper version and install soa on top of this weblogic. BUT I strongly do not recommend this, because you will not be able to upgrade iin future to the latest versions.
    Yes, its always better to install the standalone Weblogic Server that matches with your JDeveloper version. Then install SOA on top of this Weblogic Server. Then create RCU Schemas in any Oracle Database. Run config wizard and create a SOA Domain. Now integrate this in your JDeveloper to deploy any soa applications.
    Make sure that JDeveloper, Weblogic Server, SOA Software, RCU all these versions should match and they should be same.
    Thanks

    I don't know what you usually do but Time machine is a backup software. it does back up one (or more) hard drives to another. it's not a mirror utility though. it makes and keeps regular incremental backups and you can restore from any time point in the past you have a backup for. i suggest you consult pondini's FAQs at the top of TM forum

    NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production The stored procedure adds a row to a table. There's a trigger on this table that fires when this occurs. This trigger uses DBMS_SCHEDULER to run a job. This job executes a C executable program on a remote server. When the C program finishes, it updates a field in a table in the database (using OCI driver) indicating the job is complete. The stored procedure needs to see this flag has been set showing the job is complete in order to continue.
    In a nutshell, the C program produces a lot of other results, and the stored procedure retrieves these results to send back to the calling java program. Of course, it must wait until the results are ready in the database before retrieving them.
    I'm a total newbie here (maybe there's a better way). I'd like to avoid polling if possible, thus my interest in DBMS_ALERT. I haven't been able to find clear, simple, and complete example online. I think often most discussion online give snippets that assume background knowledge.
