Logo image distored when creating a transparent gif and png

Hi all,
Creating a logo for my department with little or no graphic design exp. I'm experiencing issues when saving the file as a transparent GIF or PNG. The GIF removes the 300 dpi setting that the print shop needs to turn this into a poster and the PNG is creating some jagged edges around my logo. The image is 2000 pixels and about 7 in. by 7 in.
Any help would be appreciated. I can email the PSD to anyone if they can help. Here is the PNG:
And here is the GIF:

There was no abuse, just an observation. Would an abusive person be trying to help you? Is there a crime in suggesting that one prepare themselves with more experience before taking on a project like this?
Aside from low resolution, there were a few other signs that you might be in over your head with a logo design. Logos are typically created in a vector program (not Photoshop).
I cannot imagine a reputable print shop asking you for a PNG or GIF file when there are so many better formats.

Converting transparent GIF and PNG to JPEG

Hi,
I have been reading in various sample gifs and png files and converting them to jpeg via javax.imageio.
This works fine if there is no transparency colour defined in the png or gif file. But if it has a transparency colour, the resulting jpeg is messed up. Now, it appears the reason is because jpeg has no transparencies. So, my question is, how does one get rid of the transparency (assuming I want to convert it to 'white')?
For the record, I am calling
BufferedImage image= reader.read(0);Where reader is an ImageReader and I then convert "image" to jpeg.

Creating a transparent GIF in Photoshop CS4

I am new to Photoshop CS4 and I'm finding it a bit of a 'challenge'.
I would like to create a transparent GIF of my signature, so that I can put it into various documents.
My signature is on a white background and is written using a blue ball point pen and is scanned in as a colored GIF file.
Despite having Googled how to do that I am completely stumped. They talk about using the lasso tool to draw around my signature (which I do) and then they say press the delete key. Well, on my iMac NOTHING happens!
Can anyone offer me a simple tutorial (for the Mac) that can walk me through creating a transparent GIF file of my signature?
Thanks,
Peter

Load luminance or the channel with the best contrast by command-clicking the appropriate channel in the Channels Panel
It seems hard to make it more clear …
Command-click (hold the command-key pressed while clicking) the composite Channel’s icon (or any of the other channels’ if you should deem them preferable) in the Channels Panel.
This should load a Selection.
I would like to create a transparent GIF of my signature, so that I can put it into various documents.
Where do you want to do that anyway (Photoshop, some layout-software, a browser …)?
Because depending on that using a file-format of fairly limited features like gif could seem inadvisable.
the problem I have with Photoshop CS4 is that when I enter the help system it goes to the web and give me help for Photoshop CS5!!!!

How do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it when you just play a slideshow.

how do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it with presets when you just play a slideshow, but i don't see an option to randomly shuffle the slide order when you create a new slideshow. i know you can sort it by different fields, but i want it to be random. thanks.

If you want to rearrange images in random order you can try an AppleScript:
retrieve a list of selected images from Aperture
shuffe the list properly
create an album in Aperture and add the images from the list to the album (make sure that the album set to be orederd manually)
Here is a sample script that shuffles the selected images and displays them in random order in Full Screen Mode:
on removeItem(ims, i)
-- remove the item at position "i" from a list ims
          if ims is {} then return {}
          if (length of ims is 1) then return {}
          if i < 2 then return rest of ims
          if (i = length of ims) then return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims)
          if i > (length of ims) then return ims -- should be error?
          return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims) & (items (i + 1) thru (length of ims) of ims)
end removeItem
on shuffle_items(ims)
-- shuffle the items of the list "ims" randomly
          local numitems, ims_shuffled, nextrest, nextpick, i
          set numitems to length of ims
          if length of ims < 2 then return ims
          set ims_shuffled to {}
          set nextrest to ims
          repeat until nextrest is {}
                    set i to (random number (numitems - 1)) + 1
                    set nextpick to item i of nextrest
                    set beginning of ims_shuffled to nextpick
                    set numitems to numitems - 1
                    set nextrest to removeItem(nextrest, i)
          end repeat
          return ims_shuffled
end shuffle_items
on shuffleIms()
-- retrieve the selected images from Aperture
-- and display them in random order in full screen mode
          local imageSel, shuffled, i
          tell application "Aperture"
activate
                    set imageSel to (get selection)
                    set shuffled to my shuffle_items(imageSel)
                    set fullscreen to true
                    if imageSel is {} then error "Please select some images."
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              reveal {item i of shuffled}
delay 3 -- chnage that to the time you want
                    end repeat
                    set fullscreen to false
                    return shuffled
          end tell
end shuffleIms
shuffleIms()
Some more code snippets to go from here:
To create an album:
                    tell library 1
                              if not (exists album "shuffledAlbum") then
make new album with properties {name:"shuffledAlbum", image version:shuffled}
                              end if
                    end tell
And to add the images from the shuffled list to the album:
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              duplicate item i of shuffled to album "shuffledAlbum"
                    end repeat

Windows 7 hangs when creating a new folder and hangs again when renaming it.

Ok, so I have a problem where Windows 7 hangs when creating a new folder and hangs again when renaming it.
I have documented this problem on my blog here:
Windows 7 hangs when creating a new folder and hangs again when renaming it Rhyous's 127.0.0.1 or ::1
This has my hardware details, etc...
I consider myself an expert at troubleshooting (being in support for over 10 years including time as a Lead Technician doing Windows 2000 support focussing on performance), and have checked quite a few things to try to pinpoint this issue, but I just can't find the cause.
I am asking others if they have seen this issue. I need to know if it is only on my workstation, or if others are seeing it as well.
Have you ever right-clicked, chose new folder and then had to wait 45 seconds for a new folder to appear.
Then the same thing when you try to rename the new folder, a hang of about 45 seconds before the new name take affect.
Anyway, let me know if you have experienced ths.

Hi,
I suggest you temporarily uninstall the antivirus program to check the issue. You need to make sure that you have the installation file to reinstall it later.
If it does not work, I suggest you also test the issue in Safe Mode and Clean Boot to determine if this is a hardware or a software issue.
Good luck!

How to get UTF-8 encoding when create XML using DBMS_XMLGEN and UTL_FILE ?

How to get UTF-8 encoding when create XML using DBMS_XMLGEN and UTL_FILE ?
Hi,
I do generate XML-Files by using DBMS_XMLGEN with output by UTL_FILE
but it seems, the xml-Datafile I get on end is not really UTF-8 encoding
( f.ex. cannot verifying it correct in xmlspy )
my dbms is
NLS_CHARACTERSET          = WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET     = AL16UTF16
NLS_RDBMS_VERSION     = 10.2.0.1.0
I do generate it in this matter :
declare
xmldoc CLOB;
ctx number ;
utl_file.file_type;
begin
-- generate fom xml-view :
ctx := DBMS_XMLGEN.newContext('select xml from xml_View');
DBMS_XMLGEN.setRowSetTag(ctx, null);
DBMS_XMLGEN.setRowTag(ctx, null );
DBMS_XMLGEN.SETCONVERTSPECIALCHARS(ctx,TRUE);
-- create xml-file:
xmldoc := DBMS_XMLGEN.getXML(ctx);
-- put data to host-file:
vblob_len := DBMS_LOB.getlength(xmldoc);
DBMS_LOB.READ (xmldoc, vblob_len, 1, vBuffer);
bHandle := utl_file.fopen(vPATH,vFileName,'W',32767);
UTL_FILE.put_line(bHandle, vbuffer, FALSE);
UTL_FILE.fclose(bHandle);
end ;
maybe while work UTL_FILE there is a change the encoding ?
How can this solved ?
Thank you
Norbert

Marco,
I tryed to work with dbms_xslprocessor.clob2file,
that works good,
but what is in this matter with encoding UTF-8 ?
in my understandig, the xmltyp created should be UTF8 (16),
but when open the xml-file in xmlSpy as UTF-8,
it is not well ( german caracter like Ä, Ö .. ):
my dbms is
NLS_CHARACTERSET = WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL16UTF16

When creating a fillable form and saving it as a pdf, the default color of the data fields is a light blue. How do I change the color to something else that will copy better, e.g. a light yellow?

When creating a fillable form and saving it as a pdf, the default color of the data fields is a light blue. How do I change the color to something else that will copy better, e.g. a light yellow?

It's probably the fields highlight color of the application, which you can change via Edit - Preferences - Forms.

Corrupt image formatting when creating pdf from embedded visio image in MS word

Hello, Using Adobe Acrobat 9 standard and trying to create a PDF file from an MS word (version 2003) document. PDF file created is fine except for an image (embedded visio diagram imported into word). When created in PDF, the image is missing many of the diagram labels, and other text boxes are in the wrong font and wrong location. I don't know if it's my Adobe Acrobat or MS Word settings that need to be updated.
thanks, NB

Dear fellows,
the problem is still present. My system:Windows 7 32-Bit Prof, MS Office 2010 Prof, Acrobat X Pro 10.1.1, Vision 2010 Prof, all updates installed.
Problem #1: Even the latest Acrobat X 10.1.1 version causes Visio 2010 to start with error messages, origin: the Acrobat Add-In. Therefore I de-activated the Acrobat Add-In, again, as in the past.
As I design grafics with Visio 2010, I mark them in the active Visio window, copy the marked parts and then insert them into my Word-Document. So far, so good and as I want it.
The (still present) problem: I can produce a PDF file using the "save as Adobe PDF", but the Visio drawing is incomplete and corrupt. E.g. arrows as line endings have disappeared.
PS: But using Adobes PDF printer sets the embedded Visio drawing correctly! But using the printer one looses some features of the "save as Adobe PDF" command.
Well, probably one day ...
Regards,
Rückenlehne.

Images Disappear when creating PDF

When creating a PDF out of InDesign we are having issues with images diappearig when Postscript Overprint / Overprint Preview is on. When printing images also do not show up. When viewing in Reader Images do not show up. Has anyone run into this issue, we are running CS3 & CS4. Any help will be appreciated

Most likely cause is that the images are set to non-printing in some way, either inidvidually through the Atrributes Panel, or they're on a layer that is set to non-printing.

Problem when creating a transparent ddic table in a report

Hi!
I have a problem creating a transparent table dynamical in a report. I tried both function modules that I could find (DDIF_TABL_PUT and RPY_TABLE_INSERT) but I wasn't able to get a table created.
Now I'm trying it with RPY_TABLE_INSERT (seems easier) but I'm getting an error (i think IX008) after running the report that the name is not proper for a view... I don't even want to create an view... I want to create a transparent table.

thanks for the quick response Volker.
When I use the DB_CREATE_TABLE fm I only can create fields with datatype declaration (ddfield-datatype), but I need a fm where I can also create a field with a data element, because I'm generating the fields dynamically in the report based on the datatype/data element for a field.
edit: I'll use the datatype/length/decimal of the corresponding data element. this should work...

Keep background image same when creating new workspace

Hi and thanks in advance for any input,
Up until I plugged in a mini-display port to HDMI connection/dongle I would have the same background when I created a new workspace (OSX 10.7 Lion).
Now, when I create a new workspace, the background set's itself to the first picture in a set folder with a default option of rotating the background image after a set period of time.
My question is this: how do I get back to the use case that I am familiar with, where a new workspace has the same background image as the original 'Desktop 1' background?
Thanks for looking,
Jordan from CO

Hey Richard,
What are you Desktop properties set to?
This is an interesting question. My initial (Desktop 1) properties are as follows:
// Properties are set to keep the same background image
However, when I add a new Space, to create Desktop 2, my desktop properties default to:
// Properties of 'New Desktop' (Space) default to Change picture every 10 minutes.
// When I am connected to an external display, the background image of Bonaroo shown in the screen shot becomes the new default; what is odd is that when the external display is not plugged in, another background becomes the default. Odd.
So, replying to your comment made me think of something which ended up being the answer that I have been looking for:
•Why not duplicate the background and place it in its own folder? This way, there would be no other images for it to default to and to change the properties away from, as the folder has not changed.
Indeed a workaround, but the answer to my problems:
One more thing to address:
Even if you don't have random backgrounds set, I would think it a good design idea to make them random. Otherwise users could easily become confused about which desktop they are looking at.
My rebuttal to your design philosophy is that I love the consistency a single background presents. Think of iOS: one background, multiple pages. Users look at the content presented on the page. I regularly use the four finger gesture to enter the 'Exposé' feature of OSX Lion, and this gives me further indication of which desktops arrangement.
I have read other reviews stating that the feature you noted is a great idea, so you are not alone (to have multiple desktop backgrounds for color coding what workspace/desktop/space you are in). My experience was somewhat jarring, however, as I was used to a specific use case of a consistent background; thus I have been posting in an effort to find a solution to my problem. Again, thank you for your insights; you are the one that lead me to a solution, afterall.
// Separate note: expose will rearrange your windows/spaces/workspaces/desktops when you utilize command+tab. This design feature has a distinct iOS feel; as in iOS, your spaces and apps are dynamically rearranged based on the order or applications used.
// Here is a quick photo example illustrating the point:
// (I would have taken a screen shot of the command-tab interface but I cannot take a screen shot while holding down command; I use command-shift-3 for a full screen shot)
1) Apps open in order (for this purpose I am sticking to one application per space and am including two fullscreen apps ): Finder, Safari, System Preferences, Mail
// If I command+tab over to the full screen Mail app, my spaces are now rearranged as follows:
// So now, to further illustrate the point, I can get 'Desktop 2' to be next to Desktop 1 by command-tabbing from Finder [Desktop 1] to System Preferences [Desktop2]; when I enter expose, the spaces are again rearranged to this:
// This is similar to iOS' multitasking where a users multitasking list is dynamically rearranged based on the app that was used last in order to allow the user to gesture to the last app with ease.

What is it with transparent GIFs and Black????

I'm trying to use transparent gifs in a little game! ;o) as an introduction to graphical java!
Problem is when I load the images using the toolkit and then setting them as say the Icon for a panel, they are surrounded by Black?! In addition when I try to display them using an BufferedImage they are also surrounded by black?!!!
Ive been tearing my hair out trying to understand why - and have sucessfully failed :D
Can anyone help?!
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease!
Thanks

Can't seem to get that working?!
If I want to put that image as the icon for the whole window how would I do that?
ImageIcon tempIcon = new ImageIcon(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("images/icon.gif"));
f.setIconImage(tempIcon.getImage());where f is a JPanel.
The above code does not work?! I just get the black surround to the gif as before!>?

Problem when creating Database (Database, OS and hardware Configuraiton included)

Problem when creating Database:
Below are the problems, which I faced during creation of database. I have mentioned both the problem separately. Plus the log file maintained by Oracle during installation. It might help in diagnosing the error. Plus a little conclusion with I turned up to.
There are two problems, when creating database with Oracle Database Assistant. One when creating pre tuned database from CD. And second when creating customized database giving options your self.
Problem # 1:
When creating pre tuned database from CD. The process of creating Database is 90 % complete and is at step # 3 Initializing Database. It gives error ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel.
I searched following oracle help for this problem.
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
Cause: An unexpected end-of-file was processed on the communication channel. The problem could not be handled by the Net8, two-task software. This message could occur if the shadow two-task process associated with a Net8 connect has terminated abnormally, or if there is a physical failure of the interprocess communication vehicle, that is, the network or server machine went down.
Action: If this message occurs during a connection attempt, check the setup files for the appropriate Net8 driver and confirm Net8 software is correctly installed on the server. If the message occurs after a connection is well established, and the error is not due to a physical failure, check if a trace file was generated on the server at failure time. Existence of a trace file may suggest an Oracle internal error that requires the assistance of customer support.
Conclusion:
What I conceive from this problem and the help available is that, I have to install NET8 again. But I am not sure about the solution, please tell me whether I am rite or not.

Dont't worry about that. Before you
create a table(or view), it is wise to
drop the table(or view) with the same name.
If the name doesn't exist, of course there
is an error message. See the following script:
-------------------begin-----------
drop table students cascade constraints;
create table students (
sid varchar2(5),
fname varchar2(20),
lname varchar2(20) not null,
minit char,
primary key (sid));

Error when creating Recordset using CF and Postgres

I'm a complete newbie when it comes to databases and development so go easy on me.
I have created a simple database with a schema (ABC) and 2 tables (_Address, _Member) in Postgres 9.0. I have installed CF 9 in development and am creating a new application using the Construction Kit Vol 1 as my guide. I got to the point where I am to make a Recordset and keep getting an error of:
-1:ERROR: schema "ABC" does not exist
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: schema "ABC" does not exist
...about 20+ lines of at errors follow (can post a screenshot if they would be helpfull)...
From the Database tab I am able to browse my database just fine but I cannot create this recordset in the bindings tab. I also followed the examples in the book and using their database I am able to create a recordset just fine. CF says my data source verifies correctly. I have verified that my password is correct as well as when in the database tab of DW I can test the connection fine. I cannot edit the connecton from there but I get the same error when I try to edit on all of the databases, including the default test databases.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Loan,
In your stock transfer Purchase Order has the correct 'Shipping Point' been determined for this item - i.e. the 'Shipping Point' associated with your 0002 Storage Location?
The 'Shipping Point' determination is setup in config in <OVL2>, you can use the 'Loading Group' field in the Material Master (Sales:General Plant) tab to influence the shipping point that is automatically determined for a Material.
Assuming the Shipping Point has been determined correctly for your 0002 SLoc - then in <VL10B> you will have selected this 'Shipping Point' for your delivery creation. I also noticed that in <VL10B> on the Material tab you have the option to specify a SLoc (I'm assuming this is a source SLoc since the help doesn't clearly specify) - try entering this data too and see if you can generate your delivery.
Good luck,
Ravelle

Problem when creating Database (Database, OS and hardware Configuraiton)

Problem when creating Database:
There are two problems, which I faced during creation of database. When creating database with Oracle Database Assistant. One when creating pre tuned database from CD. And second when creating customized database giving options your self.
Problem # 1:
When creating pre tuned database from CD. The process of creating Database is 90 % complete and is at step # 3 Initializing Database. It gives error ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel.
I searched following oracle help for this problem.
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
Cause: An unexpected end-of-file was processed on the communication channel. The problem could not be handled by the Net8, two-task software. This message could occur if the shadow two-task process associated with a Net8 connect has terminated abnormally, or if there is a physical failure of the interprocess communication vehicle, that is, the network or server machine went down.
Action: If this message occurs during a connection attempt, check the setup files for the appropriate Net8 driver and confirm Net8 software is correctly installed on the server. If the message occurs after a connection is well established, and the error is not due to a physical failure, check if a trace file was generated on the server at failure time. Existence of a trace file may suggest an Oracle internal error that requires the assistance of customer support.
Conclusion:
What I conceive from this problem and the help available is that, I have to install NET8 again. But I am not sure about the solution, please tell me whether I am rite or not.
Problem # 2:
