Just starting in Photoshop how can access the tools in the most simplist way and use them effective.

How just started using photoshop and wondering how to use it. How to access the tools so I can get started on drawing and painting in it.

Watch online videos and practice doing what they show you.
Keep in mind there is no easy way to learn Photoshop, simply because it's so compex and powerful.  But be patient, it will come.

  • How can I select 5-star photos in one catalog and use them to create a new catalog

    I've been using Lightroom since LR1. I now have several LR 5.5 catalogs generally organized by year and camera. I want to create a new catalog which will contain my best from each catalog. BUT, I don't want to remove the photos from their "home" catalog. The photos will continue to reside in both their original catalog and in the new "Portfolio" catalog. The easiest way to approach this is to filter photos in catalog "A" by rating, select all 5-star photos and create a new catalog containing just the selection. I don't want to export or remove them from their catalog or move them on disk. I want them to appear in BOTH catalogs. Since Lightroom is built on a database that merely points to image files, it seems like this should be possible.
    I realize I can create an empty catalog and select File->Import from Another Catalog... , then locate the photos one at a time by name and location clicking the import checkbox - tedious is an understatement when you have several 10's of thousands of photos.
    Any ideas?

    Yes, that's an option I've considered. But as with any database, size is inversely proportional to speed - larger database equals slower performance. LR 5 is much better than earlier versions in this regard but when you reach 100,000 images you can feel it.
    This is incorrect. I accept that you think the database is getting slower, but the database (and really all databases) are designed to work pretty much the same regardless of the number of records, except for perhaps searching through the entire catalog. We have seen in this forum people who are now editing larger RAW files than a few years ago, they see it is slower, and decide it is the size of the database, rather than the size of their photos.
    What aspects of Lightroom are slow? If it's scrolling and displaying the previews and searching, then it might be the database. If its displaying images in the Develop module, it is NOT the database at all.
    Have you taken steps to improve the performance of the database, such as Optimizing it regularly? have you tried these performance tips: FAQ: Experiencing Performance related problems in Lightroom?

  • How can I move pictures from my Facebook to iPhoto and use them to make products?

  • How to access the Text Frame, when we use scrollable frame,

    Hi Friends,
    How to access the Text Frame, when we use scrollable frame,
    Thank you,
    [ Nav ]

    That's the same question:
    how can I access something (a page item) on a page…
    Answer: you need something unique in that object you can get a handle on.
    Or you use the selection a user of your script is doing and work with that selection…
    A "scrollable frame" is nothing special. What it makes it a "scrollable frame" is the DPS software.
    So you have to look for attached labels on the object, that identify the object for the PDS plug-in "Overlay Creator" as a "scrollable frame". That's possible with the "extractLabel("KeyString")" function. But you need to know the appropriate key-string in advance.
    In another of your thread in the DPS forum, I basically answered the question how to obtain those key-strings.
    When knowing the key-string you could loop through all your page items (you can skip all text frames) in the allPageItems-collection, to identify the "scrollable frame" by extracting the right label.
    If you have more than one "scollable frames" you need a second unique identifier for the particular object.
    That could be nearly any property.
    Keep in mind, there is no "scrollableFrames" collection in the DOM !

  • How can i erase my .me mails from my iPhone and keep them in the server

    how can i erase my .me mails from my iPhone and keep them in the server

    You can't. The iPhone doesn't actually store all your emails anyway. It is showing you what is on the server directly.
    Only the most recently accessed emails are cached (stored temporarily) on your phone for access when you are offline. If you delete an email from your iPhone, you are actually deleting it from the server.

  • N97 can support the FM Transmitter?and use the pow...

    n97 can support the FM Transmitter?
    and use the powerful cpu? can over 400mhz?
    we also need the FM Transmitter and powerful cpu and big RAM!
    that's important for a smartphone!!
    like iphone can use the cpu near 500mhz!but now the cpu of s60 only can support the highest speed near 400mhz!!no one ove 400mhz! i wish n97 can over the 400mhz!
    Do better than the best!

    FM transmitter is an interesting one though - I feel that its totally out of place in a business oriented product like the N97, as is the N-Gage support out of the box.
    You mean that no "business oriented" person listents to music or plays games? Most "business oriented" persons also have a life.
    Nevertheless, the N97 is more "entertainment oriented" than "business oriented" as far positioning goes.
    Note also things like the clearly more "consumer oriented" E63 even if it is Eseries.
    In any case, you can't put a single lable over any individual user (sometimes the person is working, sometimes playing, sometimes doing business and at other times not).

  • How to access the attributes in an object using TestStand.?

    hi,
    I have a class named Status in C# that has 2 data members. There is another Class named Parameter and it has functions that return objects of type Status.
    I made the DLL of the class Parameter. Then i added that class to NI TestStand and called a fucntion and that function is returning an object of type Status.
    Is there any way by which i can access the Data Members of the returned Object in TestStand ??
    Thanx in advance
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yes, there is another alternative. If you make Status a value type (i.e. a struct in C#) then you can tell teststand to store it in a corresponding TestStand data structure rather than an object reference variable. This works even for private fields in your struct. To do this:
    1) First make Status a value type and make whatever other changes are necessary in your code to account for this (value types are copied when passed by value to another method, if this is not what you want you will need to pass them by reference - i.e. ref keyword in C#).
    2) Recompile your assembly.
    3) In the TestStand .NET module specification panel you should now see a new button next to the expression for the return value of type Status that looks like the TestStand data type icon. Push that button and it will prompt you to create a TestStand custom data type that corresponds to the .NET type. Select to save the type in MyTypes.ini type palette file. You only need to do this once. Once the type is in your MyTypes.ini type palette file it will be available from then on and you only need to update it if you change the .NET type.
    4) Create a local variable of the TestStand Custom data type instead of Object Reference. Note that you can expand it and see the properties underneath.
    5) Use this new local variable to store the Status return value. TestStand will copy/update the properties of the variable to correspond to those of the .NET struct that the method returns.
    NOTE: You can also just store the individual fields of a struct in separate variables by expanding the return value of type Status once it's a struct and specifying a separate variable for each field rather than creating a TestStand custom data type.
    Keep in mind that TestStand is making a copy when you store a struct this way so changes to the struct after this will not be reflected in the copy.
    Hope this helps,

  • How can I attach two extra monitoe to an IMac and have them work independently of the INas nonitor where I can place a document and manipulate it independently?

    How can I attach two additional monitors th an IMac and be able to place documents in either one or all three and manipulate them independnetly from one another without affecting the others?

    On the vintage machine you have you would need something like:

  • How to access the function in loaded application using swfloader?

    Hi,
    I have a main flex application which has a view stack, panel
    and swfloader in the below hierarchy.
    Flex main app --> Canvas1(Viewstack) --> Panel1 -->
    Swfloader
    Please view
    http://www.probe7.com/flex_ques.gif
    for better understanding.
    I have a function in the loaded application which has to be
    called from a function within the main application. I am not sure
    of the syntax to access the swfloader content which is placed in a
    canvas -> panel.
    I tried this example (
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=controls_15.html),
    it works when the swfloader is placed in the main application
    without the viewstack or panel. How can I do this, Is there a way
    to access all the running applictaions, regardless of the
    hierarchy? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Also any links for quick reference on various components and
    their access will be helpful.
    Thanks for your time.

    You are probably seeing the deferred instantiation behavior
    which is the default for ViewStack.
    The Swfloader component does not exist until a user navigates
    to the View that contains it.
    Use events to determine when the swfloader content is ready
    for interaction. Here is an example:

  • How to access the mapping of Groups and Roles in the JAVA Application

    We have mapped the EJB roles with the groups through the Visual Administrator. We have developed the SSO. We have developed the application through which we are creating the user and role and mapping that role with the created user. The created role is saved in some LDAP directory. The second application in which ejb methods are mapped with some security roles.The LDAP roles we are getting in Netweaver as groups and we can perform the mapping of the deployed ejb roles with the group.Now for the logged in user we want to get the roles mapped with it so that we can give/deny the access to the methods from EJB as per the role of that user .How we will get the access to the mappings of the roles with the group in the application, if I know the LDAP roles mapped with the user (since these roles are accessible as groups in the NetWeaver)
    For e.g.  From application created the user with the role as "manager". This role is stored in iPlanet directory.
    This directory is mapped in the Netweaver.The manager role is displayed as the group in the Netweaver.
    Created the EJB application with the method "displayTheAccountDetails() with the role as "ManagerRole"
    This role is mapped with the manager group. Now we are having the details about the logged in user and the LDAP roles mapped to it (maneger role). How I will get the access to the details that for this group which ejb role is mapped in the application. So depending on that I can allow/deny the access to the ""displayTheAccountDetails()" method to the logged in user.

    Do you, guys, work together?

  • How to count the per group-entries and put them in the new table

    Hello Guru,
    I want to sort the table cdhdr.
    for example :
      SELECT objectclas objectid changenr   *******
      INTO TABLE cdhdr_data
      FROM cdhdr
      WHERE ( ********) AND
            objectclas = i_objectclas
    The problem that I need to order the table by objectclas and objectid.
    Let say objectclas is always MATERIAL.
    Let's assume our key is changenr. May be our key will change to "objectclas objectid".
    So, my problem that I need to get the number of the same "objectid" with different "changenr".
    And also I need to put the count number of each object id with different changenr in the table cdhdr_data.
    For example
    objectclas        objectid       changenr      count
    MATERIAL      00***001      1                   3
    MATERIAL      00***001      4                   3
    MATERIAL      00***001      7                   3
    MATERIAL      00***005      2                   2
    MATERIAL      00***005      6                   2
    MATERIAL      00***003      5                   2
    MATERIAL      00***003      3                   2
    So later I'm going to use it.
    LOOP AT cdhdr_data FROM sy-tabix TO ( sy-tabix + cdhdr_dat ( sy-tabix ) + count - 1 )
    some optimized cdpos processing
    IF entry found.
    *don't loose time
    *change the boundery
    sy-tabix = count
    ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    Best Regards,
    Kais

    Hi Marcin,
    Thanks for replying.
    I'm having a trouble.
    Let say I got an error on insert into ****.
    It says me that the object (i_)cdhdr_data is not known.
    Why, should I avoid to put objectclas = i_objectclas there.
    I need to have MATERIAL OR DOKUMENT.
    I can't just put 10000entries like that.
    I'm also sceptic about how much this operation will cost.
    Because I need to proceed the data with cdpos.
    And This's why I'm doing that.
    Later with this implementation I'm gone use LOOP AT *** FROM sy-tabix TO ****.
    If I use my method, it will cost lower than inserting, changing, ...
    I rather ignore the objectid and don't make any processing.
    But with your solution I can say its rapidly.
    Let assume there's n entries in cdhdr and m entries per n in cdpos.
    So my algorithm will select n entries and will follow n*m entries but some of them will be proceeded an other not.
    in cdhdr :
    for n entries : n * 1 selecting
    in cdpos :
    always : n*m comparing,
    processing between : n1 - nm
    With you algorithm we will do :
    in cdhdr :
    for n entries : n* (1 selection + 1 modifing + 1 appending) <=> each operation cost O(1)
    in cdpos :
    for comparing between : n1 - nm
    processing between : n1 - nm
    Let see the middle value :
    your case :
    in cdhdr  we have : n * O(3) ~ n * O(1) ~ O(n)
    in cdpos :
    O(c(nm)/2) + O(p(nm))2) ~ O((cp)((nm)/2)) ~ O(d(nm))  d= (cp)/2 ~ p/2
    we know that O(c*n) ~ O (n) ; c ist a constant
    c : comparing cost
    p : processing cost
    p >> c
    my case :
    in cdhdr  we have : n * O(1) ~ O(n)
    in cdpos :
    O(c(nm)) + O(p((nm)/2)) ~ ? maybe O(d(nm)) d = c + (p/2) ~ p/2
    c : comparing cost
    p : processing cost
    p >> c
    Ok, this in theorie, but in reality I've no idea.
    Is there a mathematician there ?

  • HT203167 Computer crashed and lost all music.  How can I get a listing of all prior purchases and get them downloaded again?

    Compaq computer crashed and lost all music that was on the computer. How would I go about getting a listing of all purchased items and download them again? I know when i first got set up it said I could download up to 2 times when purchased and I have only downloaded once.  But need a listing of songs as well.

    One thing that I also recommend in the future is to back your iTunes library up relatively regularly.  You can get your purchases in the cloud just fine, typically, but at the very least, it will save some time by backing it up.
