Issue with blend mode colour dodge?

So I'm not all that new to photoshop, I'd probably put myself in the intermediate category, but for some reason I haven't been able to figure this issue out, and I would love some help. I was doing a tutorial, and it mentioned we needed to change the blend mode of our photo to color dodge. I found color dodge fine, but for some reason when I tried to apply it, nothing happened. The tutorial mentioned grouping the layers, which I did, still no change.
So I found another tutorial that broke the process down, but I've still been unable to apply color dodge to what I'm working on. When I did apply colour dodge, I got this:
I have no idea what to do about the red circle. I'm sure this is a totally ridiculous error, but I'd love some help!
Here's what I'm attempting to change, with no success:
Here's the picture I would ultimately like to apply colour dodge to:
Again, I'm sure this is really simple, but I haven't found an easy answer, so any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

What you expect to happen after applying Color Dodge? With Blue Fill layer on top and white pixels beneath, applying Color Dodge will produce what you see on your screen. Same will happen if you move layer with white pixels on top of layer with blue fill color. There is some mistake in tutorial.

Layered image with blending mode won't display properly in Indesign CS3

Hello,
I'm having trouble placing a layered psd and/or tiff with blending modes into my indesign cs3 document. Basically I have a flattened image with a shadow on a white background. I've had to doctor the image a bit in photoshop and I've used the multiply blending mode to remove the white background. (I'm trying to get around having to clip the image and having to recreate the shadow). Anyone know how I can drop my layered image into indesign and have it keep the blending modes I've applied in photoshop?
Any help would be much appreciated.

I'll try and do my best to describe what it is I'm doing.
I've started out with a “flat” image of a product on a white background with a shadow on it. I need to make the background transparent and so that all I’m left with is the product with the shadow on a transparent background.I want to be able to place this image over another image in indesign and have the background remain transparent.
On the first layer I have a clipped out version of the product with no background (All by itself with no background or shadow). On the second layer I have the original “flat” image with the shadow and white background. On this layer I’ve used the multiply blending mode to remove the white background.
Now that I have the product on one layer by itself and the product and shadow on layer two with the multiply blending mode I have an image of the product with a shadow with no background. When I place this into indesign, my image shows up with the white background as if the multiply blending mode isn’t applied.
I’ve tried this on other images. It doesn’t appear that it lets you bring an image over with that blending mode. It's like I'd have to bring over a clipped image and then place that on top of my original image with a blending mode placed on it "in" Indesign.
Hope that make sense?

We recently switched ISPs. To connect to the new ISP our Airport Extreme has to be in bridge mode. Now our Nintendo Wii won't connect to the Airport. Is it an issue with bridge mode that is causing this?

We recently switched ISPs. To connect to the new ISP our Airport Extreme has to be in bridge mode. Now our Nintendo Wii won't connect to the Airport. Is it an issue with bridge mode that is causing this? We're running two Macs wirelessly with no problems. And the Wii did connect before the switch.

Hello and thanks for the reply. I gave this a try, turned off Airport on one of the computers and tried the Wii again. Still no connection. I should say that we're also running an old G4 (wired) off the Airport as well, with no problems. I've tried many things to make the Wii to work, including power cycling the Airport, turning off the security settings in the Airport, resetting the Airport to it's default and redoing the network, resetting the network setting on the Wii (several times), moved the Airport closer to the Wii, all with no luck. The Wii "sees" the Airport but won't connect to it. I'm at a loss for anything else to try, so any help is appreciated.

Aliased text on PDF export with blending modes

So I've had this issue with a pdf, I tried to export it CMYK, RVB, interactive pdf, regular pdf, with tons of different other options, the text was still very aliased.
I decided to take it back from scratch, openned a new document with the same size, and copied/pasted element after element from the old one to the new one, exporting as pdf between each copy/paste. The first exports went really well, the render was great… until I pasted a vector element that was applied with a blending mode (overlay).
When I switched it to normal, the pdf export was smooth again. Tried every blending mode, everyone makes the text jaggy. Switch back, it's ok. So I'm 100% sure that this comes from blending modes, as opposed to what I could have read on other forums.
This is a request, please, InDesign team, take care of this problem, this is quite annoying in many cases.
Thank you for your attention!
Twitted here as well : https://twitter.com/grinderlabs/status/448381486627311616

To minmize the possibility of rasterizing or outlining text when transparency is flattened, keep the text above any transparent objects. Blending modes, along with most effects, use transparency.
You can also minimize the risk by exporting the PDF with live transparency, which is supported in Acrobat 5 or higher compatibility.

USB 2.0 issue with sleep mode--help!

hey there,
so i've searched this forum's board and found that it seems quite a few people have had issues with USB 2.0 and sleep mode on the mac. most of what i read, however, comes from people not being able to put the computer to sleep once new USB 2.0 cards or devices are installed. that is not the problemm I seem to be having, but is this:
I recently purchased a Belkin USB 2.0 PCI card, and installed it on my MAC G4 tower. It seemed to work ok for a little while, but then i noticed that AFTER i put the computer to sleep, when it 'awakens' from slumber, it no longer reads the USB devices. if the device was plugged in prior to sleep mode, it sometimes reads ok. but if I try and plug in a new USB device, such as an iPod or flash drive, no dice. it doesn't mount on the Mac.
I called Belkin tech support, and they were very helpful, but told me that the macs have had issues powering the USB PCI card once the computer is in sleep mode. they even directed me to an apple support page that has downloads that seem to address this, but they're for 10.0-10.0.4. I don't want to download that onto my mac (10.3.9) cuz im worried it might screw something up on my OS.
I would LOVE a download link for a software updater for this if someone knows where it is, otherwise, I may have to return this thing to Belkin and go with a more mac-friendly brand. so im open to that possibility, too.
any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!
cheers,

Power Mac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) Dual 1Ghz, 1.5 GB SDRAM

I would either complain to Belkin for a fix if there is one or return the card and try a different one. You should not have the problem, but Belkin USB hubs and cards appear to have more problems like yours than other manufacturers' products.
You might try Sonnet's Tango FW400/USB 2.0 multi-card, for example, or Firewire Direct's 6-port FW800/USB 2.0 card.

Problems with blending modes

Hi,
I have a layer with a solid color (212º,93,78) on top of which I have another layer with a solid color (205º,100,74). Call this second layer the blend layer. I then choose for it a blending mode of Color, and the resulting color in the top layer is (205º,100, 74). If instead I choose the luminosity blending mode, the resulting color in the top layer is (212º,93,78).
---all these are HSB coordinates.
According to the documentation. color and luminosity blending modes should behave differently:
Color
Creates a result color with the luminance of the base color and the hue and saturation of the blend color. This preserves the gray levels in the image and is useful for coloring monochrome images and for tinting color images.
------ the luminance of the base color is 78 (at least the brightness anyway - I know of no method to get the luminance)
Luminosity
Creates a result color with the hue and saturation of the base color and the luminance of the blend color. This mode creates the inverse effect of Color mode.
------- in this case everything is equal, which seems to me is not right.
Some light?

Generally speaking, Photoshop works fine with Windows 8 but the display drivers aren't all up to the task yet, and Photoshop uses the GPU for a lot of stuff.
What video card do you have?
You might find you can go into Edit - Preferences - Performance in Photoshop and disable the usage of GPU (the setting is called [ ] Use Graphics Processor in Photoshop CS6, and [ ] Enable OpenGL Drawing in earlier versions). It's also possible that you might find things to work better if you leve the GPU enabled but change the advanced mode for it to a lower setting, such as Basic.
In a general answer to your question, yes, I imagine there will be updates through Windows Update and from Adobe that will correct the problems. You may be able to accelerate the fix by visiting the web site of the maker of your video card and downloading their recent driver release (though I caution against this with ATI drivers right now - their latest aren't really too good).

Blend mode "colour" is greyed out !

Creating shapes with blend modes in actionscript 3

Ok I'm having a lot of trouble with ActionScript 3. I'm supposed to make five buttons that when clicked show a different blend mode using 2 or more shapes. Each of these blend modes also has to have a text box explaining what the blend mode does. The assignment requires only one layer which is the actions layer. Everything has to be made using script only, which is why I'm having so many problems.
Can someone please help me with this and simplify it has much as possible. I need to have some sort of answer sometime tomorrow. I thank anyone who helps.

blendModes can only be applied to DisplayObjects (Sprites, MovieClips, Bitmaps etc)
For an example how to get it working:
DisplayObject - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference

Fireworks PNG - FXG - FC. It Works! With Blend modes!=)

but it has some isues...
1) blend modes problem: if you put on object some COLOR BURN IT READS IT AS blendMode="-1" and you get picture of blanc screen and library of empty groups and so on. the point is it does not work... (so if you had any powers to edit the code you might solve the problen)
2) if it has any style on the object it turns it into a bit map...
3) no round corners transport
but ewerething else is great... with help of fb then it can be turned into a sweet candy
>sory for my EN_

0) Once like this?
FW is not open source and is not free for use so
1)Who will be paying me for such stuff ?
2)How much(or will be giving me what)?

Issue with Airplane Mode on legitimately unlocked iPhone

Hi,
I bought an iPhone in Australia from a distributor for one of the large carriers. I bought the white 16Gb outright and paid the fee to have the phone unlocked (as is permitted in Australia). It all worked well with both an Aus and a UK SIM card I had.
The white plastic back then cracked so I took it to an Apple store where they replaced it. I told the Genius that I'd had it unlocked and he said no problems, etc, etc.
He replaced the phone and I took it home, all seemed to work well. Again, with both SIMs.
I installed the 2.2 firmware upgrade.
Now to the troublesome bit.
Sitting in Melbourne airport, about to leave Australia for some significant time, I swapped the SIMs over and the phone started complaining about needing to be connected to iTunes.
I did this and it unlocked (again).
Question 1: Do I really have to connect to iTunes every time I change the SIM?
I replaced the SIM with my Aus one and turned the phone off to fly to Kuala Lumpur. On arrival in KL I swapped SIMs again, went through the hassle of connecting to iTunes to unlock.
Then, as I wanted to use the phone on my net flight to watch movies and play Fuzzle, I turned on Airplane Mode with the UK SIM.
The phone instantly complains about the SIM being changed and asks to be connected to iTunes. I did this (getting annoyed at this point)! This time, iTunes reports that the phone is fauly and I should take to an Apple Store
I then replaced the SIM with my Aus one, and it all started working nicely again including allowing me to use Airporne Mode.
Question 2: Why can't I use Airplane Mode when my UK SIM is installed?
This seems like a bug to me, rather than some complication with Airplane mode. Surely if my phone has been unlocked and I can make calls with both SIMs, then I can use Airplane Mode regardless of which SIM I'm using?
Added complication here is that I'm not going back to Australia for a while (maybe years), so unless Apple are nice to me and decide that the phone is faulty and will replace it in the UK, I'm going to be left with an expensive, and white, iPod Touch.
Cheers for any suggestions,
Ian

I don't think the problem lies specifically with the SIM card, but with the software on the phone.
I would appreciate others trying to replicate my problem with their iPhones. Simple steps (requireing an unlocked iPhone) are...
1. Insert original SIM card (all should be fine)
2. Remove orginal SIM card and replace with second carrier SIM
3. Sync with iTunes to get the phone working again.
4. Either turn on Airplane Mode or turn the phone off and on again.
5. The phone (at least mine) will require you to connect to iTunes again.
Turning on Airplane Mode or turning the phone off and on with the original SIM card inserted doesn't lead to this behaviour.

Issue with fortune-mod and .bashrc solved..

someone may find this useful. I was working with fortune-mod. I put the fortune-mod call into my .bashrc, so that every time I create a new shell, i get a new futurama quote. 8)
Anway, it was screwing up my scp activities, because it was generating output.
So, to avoid this, use the following in your .bashrc
if [ "$PS1" ]; then
/usr/bin/fortune futurama
fi
similarly, if you want any textual output to appear everytime you create a shell, make sure to put it between the above if and fi.
of course, make sure you put this BEFORE you set your shell to something nice like:
PS1="\[\033[01;31m\](\[\033[00;37m\]\u@\h \W\[\033[01;31m\])\[\033[00m\]\$ "
hope this helps someone. It took me a little while to figure out what was going on. [/code]

I wasn't looking for this but now that i've found it it's great!
Cheers!

Parental Controls Always Allow App issue with Blender app (3d modeling app)

To whom this may concern,
I have a 3D modeling app called blender. I have installed it on my mac os running on lion (os 10.7) currently.
What I want to do. Always run this app on an account that has parental controls set up on my mac. The blender app would be a part of the allowed apps for the account.
Here's where I have my problem:
I have set it up to run on an account that has parental controls set up.
The problem I keep running in to is that every time I try to run blender I receive a popup window that says the app is not allowed and gives me three options: always allow, allow once, or okay (and close without trying to open).
Everytime I try to click always allow and enter my password, the process just repeats the next time I open the app. This make me believe that perhaps there is some sort of executable that the blender app uses before starting that the parental controls is stopping and even when I allow blender to start, there is something else not being allowed through. Any ideas on how I can work around this (obviously I want to keep parental controls on to prevent access to other apps)?
I'm not overly computer savvy but I can give some more info as requested if my question needs further explanation/documentation
I guess the best way to see the problem for yourself is to download blender and try using it on an account with parental controls, heh heh.
This is more of an annoyance having to enter the passcode everytime I want to use this wonderful app.
Thanks for any help.

Solution:
I updated to OSX Mavericks and the parental controls issue went away for Blender.
Hurray!

Issue with hybrid mode

Hello,
I am using NI 9076 controller in which i have configured the module in hybrid mode(i am using three modules, two modules in scan mode and another one module in FPGA interface).
if i use the default module configuration, i am able to run in hybrid mode without any problem, but if i do some changes in the module configuration(changing single ended to differential ended and digital input/output), i am unable to read any data from the channels under scan mode.
Kindly help me out to resolve this problem.

Thank you for the quick reply. I have restarted it yes, but have no tried the restore. I just got it a couple days ago so didn't think that I would have any issues!
Thanks for the help!

Issues with sleep mode...

Hi,
I have a PowerMac G4 Dual 1,25Ghz MDD, when I'm not using the machine I put it to sleep from the menu and it will sleep correctly and wakes up when I press any key on the keyboard.
But if I use the Option-Command-Eject to sleep, then only the monitor goes black and nothing else, also waking up from this mode is impossible, I have to powered down/up to get everything working. (Or I have not found any other way)
Shouldn't these too be the same? I have searched the Apple documentation and could not find any info that this would initiate different sleep modes.
regards,
Sebastian

Hi-
Two questions:
What keyboard are you using?
Did this issue occur before update to OS 10.4.9, or, after the update? If the answer is "after update", please see the following:
