Issues creating vector watermark in CS6

Hi All,
Been battling this one for many hours now so hopefully some can point me in the right direction.......... (I'm not particularly cluey when it comes to PS so there in lies the problem)
A year or so ago i created a vector based watermark using Julieanne Kost's tutorial here - http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/pscs5-creating-transpar ent-logos-for-watermarks-and-overlays-in-photoshop/ - I saved the resultant custom shape as a .png file and used it in lightroom as my watermark. Unfortunately I made the mistake of using "2013" in that watermark so now it is outdated!
I've been trying to create a new watermark (minus the year this time) in CS6 following the same set of instructions. All seems to go well until I select my work path watermark and define as a custom shape. It allows me to save the custom shape but when I go to use it it only draws an opaque box without text....... the attached picture may explain it better. Top right of the display window is my various text and shape layers used to create the watermark. I managed to group these into one work path but when I define them as a custom shape and then use that shape all that is drawn is the opaque rectangular box below my layers based watermark. Can anyone gice me some clues as to what I'm doing wrong or offer an easier alternative to creating a vector based watermark in the style I've got here?
Cheers -Liam-

I recommend you look up Scott Kelby's watermarking script. It covers pretty much 90% of all needs on that end. For printing you would simply retain your original photos and only send out the watermarked versions for review. Beyond that watermarks are simply image files or text overlaid with reduced transparency which you could do easily yourself. An action for this would basically look like this:
Open image
File --> Place, load watermark file
Reduce opacity
File --> Save as Copy
There's of course infinite variations on the theme... Also keep in mind, that actions require all images to be the same size and aspect, hence the script I mentioned would be a better alternative...

How to create a watermark in Pages?

I seem to remember there was a process by which an image could be use to create a watermark in pages but there is no longer anything in Help. Is this still available?

SG,
Text Wrap:
In the Wrap Inspector, with an object selected, you can select "Object causes wrap". The option causes the object to push text out of its way. You are telling me that you don't want this, so make sure the option is turned off.
Background:
The background layer is behind the text layer. If you want your objects (graphics, text boxes, shapes) to obscure the text that you type normally, leave the objects on top. If you would like to have the text overlay the objects, then send the objects to the Background.
Section Master:
Giving an object Section Master status causes it to repeat on every page of the section. That's every page of the document for most people since the average user doesn't make use of Section Breaks. I asked if your documents had more than 1-page, but I don't think you responded.
Registration:
You say you just want to type away on the text layer and have things line up with your background template. Good luck with that. You are going to have terrible problems with the pitch of your text matching the scale of your background object. You may be ok at the top, but by the time you get to the bottom of the page the chances are you will be off a half a line. Better to use Text Boxes and align each one with the appropriate region of the template.
Dexterity:
There are ways to deal with eye-hand coordination and steadiness issues. Objects can be shifted by using the arrow keys and they can be sized and positioned by using the Metrics Inspector. And, remember that you only have to do the tedious stuff once. After that, Save as Template
The biggest problem I have with the new-fangled machines is that they are designed by kids with better vision than I will ever have again. They have no idea how much trouble us old guys have seeing the menus and instructions. The Mac App Store is one of the worst examples, where you can't even resize the text. The universal access tools for the vision impaired in System Preferences don't help me because I can't stand the look, or the loss of font smoothing. For critical work I reluctantly put on the strongest reading glasses and lower my nose to the screen.
Good luck,
Jerry

Holding Shift when creating Vector Shape - No snap to pixels!

Hi there,
Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.1 (13.0.1 20120808.r.519 2012/08/08:21:00:00) x64
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
Version: 6.1 Service Pack 1
I'm experiencing the following problem:
When creating vector shapes and holding shift the shape do not snap to pixel. Snap to pixels is turned on.
It is pretty strange.
Please check the video below:
http://screencast.com/t/1iys3tDJHpJt
Initially when do not hold shift shapes is pixel perfect. As you can see in the image first 2 shapes are made free hand.
SK

Instead of holding the shift key try pressing the + key to change the path operations to Add to Shape Area and the - key to subtract from shape area.
That is strange behaviour compared to cs5 where having snap to pixels checked for the rectangle tool does align the edges when holding down shift
where as cs6 13.01 doesn't align the edges when holding shift either with the snap vector preferences of align edges checked.
It only seems to align the pixels when snap vectors in the preferences is checked and using add to shape area is actually selected in the drop down.
That's what the plus key does.
I guess i was under the impression that align edges was supposed to be the same as the snap to pixels was in cs5.

Issue creating a MatView for another user w/ a private DB Link

I am having an issue creating a materialized view for another user where the select statement for the MV uses a private db link. Looks like the following:
Logged in as user X, I run:
create materialzied view Y.foo
(select blah
from tbl@y_priv_db_link_here);
When I try to run this, I get a permission issue. User X has DBA privilege, user Y has create MV priv and has select priv on the table in the db link.
I can create this MV logged in as user Y. Cant create this logged in a user Y in test or prod environment, so this isn't an option.
Any ideas on how I can create this logged in a user X? I believe the issue here is that since this is a private db link owned by user Y, user X doesn't have access to this db link.
thanks.

Here is what I was trying to do:
SQL> CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW extract.ADDRESS
2 TABLESPACE xxx
3 BUILD IMMEDIATE
4 REFRESH
5 COMPLETE
6 ON DEMAND
7 WITH PRIMARY KEY
8 AS
9 ( SELECT ... FROM address@CM_TO_CPD);
FROM pwb_address@CM_TO_CPD)
ERROR at line 11:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

How do you create a watermark in a document via Acrobat Reader 9?

Have Acrobat Reader 9 but am unable to see how to incorporate a water mark on a document using Reader 9. Earlier versions had a section to select the watermark file from but I cannot locate such a section in Reader 9?
Any help most appreciated.

Dave,
Thanks
Realised that late last night when we actually use a different product to create the watermarks.

How to create Vector with reference to Collection

hello experts,
can someone let me know how to create vector with reference to Collection interface.
Collection is an interface. and we cant create an instance of it. i'm not clear of what to pass in that constructor.
Vector v = new Vector (Collection c);
what are the possible objects of 'c'
post some example code please.
thanks

Ever heard of reading the javadocs?
"Collection is an interface. and we cant create an instance of it." - you don't understand interfaces, then.
// I certainly can create a Collection - here's one
Collection c = new ArrayList();
// Now I'll add some Strings to my Collection.
c.add("foo");
c.add("bar");
c.add("baz");
// Now I'll make a Vector out of it.
Vector v = new Vector(c);%

How do I create a Watermark?

New to Aperture, how do I create a Watermark?

You can add watermarks in Aperture, but you cannot create watermark images with alpa channel and transparency. For that you will need an external editor.
Any photo editor that understands transparency will do, Photoshop, Pixelmator, the free Gimp, or simply Preview. To create a text watermark in Preview see for example this thread:
Re: Watermark Creation
You add the Watermark on export, by editing the export preset to include the watermark image.
Regards
Léonie
For plug-ins see: Adding Copyright Symbol & Signature
And for adding the watermark on export see: Working with Export Presets - scroll down to
"To add a watermark image to your exported images"
Select the images you want to export.
Choose File > Export > Versions (or press Command-Shift-E).
In the dialog that appears, choose Edit from the Export Preset pop-up menu.
In the Image Export dialog, select the export preset you want to use to export your images.
Select the Show Watermark checkbox.
Click the Choose Image button.
Select the image you want to use as a watermark, then click Choose.
Specify where you want the watermark to appear on the image using the Position pop-up menu.
To adjust the opacity of the watermark, drag the Opacity slider to a new position.
If you want the watermark to be scaled in proportion to the image’s output size, select the “Scale watermark” checkbox.
When you’re satisfied with how your watermark appears in the watermark preview area, click OK.
Navigate to the location where you want the exported images placed.
Choose a name format for your exported files from the Name Format pop-up menu.
Click Export Versions.
Your files are exported with the watermark you created.

Hey Don,
This is a pretty straight forward process, in settings on your phone go to general>network>personal hotspot. As SP has said most likely you will have to contact your wireless provider to set it up. I know for at&t you can set up this option through att.com/wireless or dial 611. It will cost you around 45 dollars per month and this gets you the ability to tether up to 4 wireless devices and alots you 4GB per month data. Hope this helps.

I've heard that it will also cancel your current contract. That isn't such a huge deal unless your current contract is an unlimited one--you can never get it back.
Does anyone know for sure? I've asked AT&T and received a "Yes it will cancel your current contract." and "No, it is a new contract--you keep your old contract if you wish." I suspect it is the former but it would be good to know for sure before ordering the service.

I created a watermark in LR4 and it applied to all photos I only wanted one photo marked.

I created a watermark in LR4 and it applied to all photos I only wanted one photo marked. How can I keep it from adding the watermark to all of my photos?
I want to be able to add them manually to each photo in a location that I chose so the photo is still visably appealing.
Thanks!

I think it's a feature of the Web Module, since it is assumed that you would want the watermark on all images of a web-gallery.
But, in this context (as always is the case in Lr) you have to take into consideration of how Lr works. Lr never ever changes your originals.
"Watermark applied" means only that there is a set of data in the Lr catalog that says something like "when uploading the web-gallery the watermark has to be applied to the uploaded JPGs".
Nothing has been done to your originals - even though they are displayed in te Web Module with the watermark. The orginals are ever unchanged.
If you go back to the Library Module (within the same Collection) you won't see a watermark.
