Make grid squares into dots

Hi!
I'm new quite new to PS but think it is the right tool for a job I have to do.
The general idea is to make a photo into small dots. I thought I could pixelate a photo and then make the pixels/squares into dots in different sizes. After an awful lot of clicking i wondered if anyone had a trick to do this easy.
At first I tried with this Mickey Mouse picture, but didn't end with a very nice result.
And you bet I used a heck of a lot time!
I really hope someone has a trick to do this a better way than just clicking with the pencil tool like I did.
Regards
Christoffer

Semaphoric is exactly right (great tip), but what's unsaid is that you need to set all the angles the same to get nice black dots... And you'll need to start with a gray image rather than black so that there is some white space between the dots.

}the above code draws the grid fine and iniates randomly 20 cells to on - red.
The problem occurs when I call the toggleCell method from other classes, grid squares are signalled to be on but they are not being painted.
package model;
import model.Cells;
import view.GridPanel;
public class CellModel {
     private Cells cells;
     private GridPanel g;
     int[][] location;
     int x,y ;
     String strX,strY;
public CellModel(GridPanel grid){
          g = grid;
                                           g.toggleCell(1, 1);
          g.toggleCell(0, 0);
          System.out.println(g.getStatus(0,0));
          cells = new Cells();
     }the above should turn on grid squares (1,1) and (0,0) when the cellmodel is iniated, although when i retreive the status the status of the squares is to on but they are not painting, can anyone help clear this up?

Maybe it's because you have a variable or ORA_CRS_HOME CRS_HOME, see this portion of the code:
# Make sure CRS_HOME is set
if ( exists( $ENV{"ORA_CRS_HOME"} ) ) {
    $CRS_HOME = $ENV{"ORA_CRS_HOME"};
$CRS_HOME_BIN    = $CRS_HOME;
If it was not, do the following to the node of clusterware:
1. Kill all processes sap, use the command:
ps-ef | grep-i sap | awk-F "" {'print $ 2'} | xargs kill -9
2. Delete files sockets. Sap / tmp
rm / tmp / * .sap
3. Start sapctl with the command:
$ Su - qrcadm
# su
# Sapctl start all-sapsid QRC
I have a publication of the implementation of sapctl on my homepage.

Trying to make a square class

hi i am trying to write a class that creates a square but it has to use to use the rectangle package so far i get an error cannot not find symbol on this line square = new Rectangle(0,0); and i get errors when i return my x and y variables if anyone has any ideas please i need some help thank you
import java.awt.Rectangle;
public class square
     private int length;
private int width;
     public square ()
          square   = new Rectangle(0,0);
     public square (int length, int width)
         square = new Rectangle(0,0,length, width);
         this.length = length;
          this.width = width;
      /*Constructor:*/
    public square(int x, int y, int length, int width)
          square = new Rectangle(x, y, width, length);
             this.length = length;
         this.width = width;
public int getLength()
    return length;
public int getWidth()
    return width;
public int getX()
     return x;
public int getY()
     return y;
public void setBounds()
return side;
}

You realize that by definition a square has equal sides? You don't need a width or a height, you just need a length. My "Square" class would only have a getLength() method and possibly setLength() if you want it to be mutable. If this is intended for use with AWT you could subclass Rectangle and guarantee that all sides are equal. Given your current design it would be trivially easy for me to create a Square that is in fact not a square at all.
public class Square {
    private Rectangle rect;
    public Square(int x, int y, int length) {
        super();
        rect = new Rectangle(x, y, length, length);
    public Rectangle getRectangle() {
        return rect;
}Of course, they could easily modify that Rectangle to make it not be a Square anymore. You could change the code to make a defensive copy. Then they could change the Rectangle, but it wouldn't affect you, so your Square would always return a square even if they made the returned Rectangle not a square at some later point. You'd do that like so:
* Returns a square rectangle. The returned Rectangle is mutable
* and as such it could be mutated to no longer be a square. It is the
* responsibility of the client to ensure this does not happen. Each
* returned Rectangle is unique and mutations in one will not affect
* the others.
* @return A Rectangle that is a perfect square.
public Rectangle getRectangle() {
    return new Rectangle(rect);
}You could subclass Rectangle, but it's internals are exposed so you couldn't ever guarantee your Square was a square. Alternatively it looks like you could subclass Rectangle2D or RectangularShape and just be sure to override anything that could mutate your Square into something not a square. Also, you could just implement the Shape interface if that suits your purposes.
Just some things to think about.

I guess there are not phone support... I cannot drag images from grid view into collections.

I have been trying desperately to fix this issue. I cannot drag any images from the grid view into collections. Can anyone help? I looked everywhere for a customer support number but I was not able to find one on Adobe Website.

Hi,
Only a couple of things I can think of:
1. Make sure it isn't a Smart Collection, and
2. Drag by placing the cursor on the actual picture NOT the grey area surrounding the image.

Facing problem while downloading ALV grid Output into Excel

Hi Guys,
I am facing problem while downloading ALV grid Output into Excel.
It is downloading into excel, but all character columns first and next all quantity columns it is displaying. But I need columns order as it is in the grid.
If I take all columns as characters it works fine. But it will be problem for calculating total, subtotals of quantity columns
Can someone help me regarding this
thanks for your help

Hi,
Open up Excel on your desktop. Goto Tools > Macro > Security.
Make sure that your security is set to Medium (or less). SAP uses OLE automation to run the Excel instance and in Office 2003 (for example), Microsoft has increased their default security setting to High. With the High setting, the output to Excel fails.
Was this your problem? Don't forget those points, either.
check with this wetther it is solved or not.
Regards,
sana.

I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos. The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time.

I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos. The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time. Also, sometimes my animations (applications opening, windows being dragged, etc.) will glitch as well. Again, this is not a continual thing; it just happens variously throughout my day. MBP Model A1212, OS X 10.6.8, 2.33 Ghz 3GB RAM.

Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store

How to make a photo into a single or 2 colored stamp/vector type image

I'm fairly new to photoshop and have seen designs like the few I've posted below and I want to know how I can make my pictures into items like those. I tired doing a search but I'm not even sure what this type of image & techinque is called, so the search ended in failure. I have the newest edition of photoshop as well as photoshop, photoshop elements and corel painter essentials. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Please excuse if I go over some things that you aleady know, but again I do not want to take anything for granted that would prevent us from moving forward on your project.
When you wrote
When I go to Blu-Ray on the Status it says No Burners detected, and with AVCHD it says Busy.
1. Does your burn dialog have a field named burner location:? If so, does your Blu-ray burner show up as a choice in its drop down list?
2. And, with that "...with AVCHD it says Busy", have you selected Publish+Share/Disc/AVCHD disc and inserted a Blu-ray disc instead of a DVD disc, when you get the Busy message? The choice of Blu-ray is a Blu-ray disc; the choice for AVCHD is only a DVD disc. So, please clarify that point.
3. Have you tried Publish+Share/Disc/AVCHD disc with a DVD double layer single sided disc?
4. As a note..the maximum bitrate for burn to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc 4.7 GB/120 minutes and 8.5 GB/240 minutes is the same, that is 8.00 Mbps. Whereas, the maximum bitrate is much higher for the AVCHD burn to DVD disc and the Blu-ray burn to Blu-ray disc (about 15.74 to 15.50 Mbps for AVCHD DVD, and about 20.19 to 24.0 Mbps for Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc. More details on the exact values if needed.
What is the bitrate of the AVCHD file that you have imported to the Timeline? See if you agree...if the source has a higher bitrate than the export bitrate, would not you expect smaller file size for the export? And if the source has a lower bitrate than the export bitrate, would not you expect a larger file size for export?
Do some mini tests runs to prove or disprove that. Look at the Space Required and Bitrate reading in the burn dialog when you have a given disc in the burner tray.
Please review.
Thanks.

Do you have the equipment that will play back AVCHD DVD as well as Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It means that it is not connected to the Internet, so it may be turned off. Another option would be that somebody has resetted it to default settings and has changed the Apple ID, being impossible to track your son's iPhone. Anyway, report it to the police because it is the only thing you can do at the moment

Recently my contact card was changed to make my name into a vulgar statement.

Recently my contact card was changed to make my name into a vulgar statement. I only noticed this when I went to go send an email, and the incorrect name popped up. There is a SLIM chance someone hacked into my contacts since everything is password protected, but I guess I need to know if there is any way that a virus/hacker went into my contacts to mess with me. That seems unlikely as it was just my contact that was changed, but I still need to know. I recently updated my computer software to mountain lion, and I also updated software on my iphone. I was wondering if any of that might have made that change?

Your device was not hacked as it is not possible unless the device is jailbroken.
More likely someone has gained access to your iCloud account (assuming that is how contacts are synced to your device) and changed the information to mess with you. This could also have been done with physcial access to the device or even access to the computer if it is set to save passwords.

Those requirements are go way beyond what PDF forms can do and are meant for, some of them would require involving other programs or are mutually exclusive and contradictory. You are wasting your time even thinking about doing this as an "offline" PDF form. Simply sign up for an online forms/ survey service like FormsCentral or Surveymonkey.

Possible to make a guide into a mask or selection?

Is this possible? I want to use a guide made from an object, as a cookie cutter for an image that I've placed under it. thanks!

Thanks,
This actually worked to crop the OUTSIDE of my circle, but for some reason the hole in the middle of this circle was never masked
When working with more than one guide/ path, I keep bumping into a few rules.
I think if I can get this, I'll start to understand how to separate my layers better.
"The selection cannot contain objects within different groups unless the entire group is selected."
I get this message even when I select "entire groups"
"Can't make the selection into guides. Guides cannot be created or released within the selected object types."
Well, I wasn't trying to create guide, actually. (lol)
So my real question is, where can I find an advanced tutorial that focuses specifically on layer order/simplification, as opposed to just creating some nice Illustrator image?
I seem to be inadvertently creating a surplus of extra paths and layers and groups that I don't even need, (i can prove it by throwing them out) lol!

How can I make picture fit into screen

There's a picture on the Internet that I want to print, but it's slightly too tall to fit into my screen. I've tried changing the resolution. I've also gone to Apple>System Preferences>Displays>Geometry, but nothing there does the job. If I could rotate the image 90 degrees, I believe I could get the ENTIRE image on my screen, but the Rotate button only makes the picture tilt slightly. The Height adjustment doesn't help, either.
Is there a way to rotate the picture 90 degrees, or is there any other way get the picture to fit into my screen? Yes, I've also dragged (stretched-out) the picture as far as I could.

There's a picture on the Internet that I want to
print, but it's slightly too tall to fit into my
screen...
The answer to your question depends a several things.
Changing the screen resolution or "geometry" does
not change how something is printed. So is your
question the right question. Are you trying to make
it "fit into your screen"? Or are you trying to
make it print on a single sheet of paper?
NOTE: If the goal is to fit it on the screen, there
are many ways you can do that. Maybe the easiest is
to select Print in whatever program you are using to
see the image. In the Print dialog window, click the
Save as PDF... button. This will allow you to save
the page printout as a PDF file. Double-clicking on
the file should open it in Preview app. In Preview,
you can adjust the "magnification" to make it all fit
on your screen.
Thanks for the almost instantaneous reply. I've copied it because it contains useful information that I might need in the future; for now, however, I somehow managed to stumble into a solution while waiting for a reply. Oh, now I realize where I had gone wrong, and why I was finally succesful. At first, I tried to copy the screen by using the COMMANDSHIFT4. And, as you know, when using this system, you can only print what is on the screen. Later, well, I'm already a little fuzzy on what I did, but I didn't use the "Screen Capture" method. Thanks, again.

Make a pic into a button

I am new to flash. I want to make a picture into a button to
link to a URL. How do I do this? please remember I am new so please
baby steps. I would've tried F1 but it just doesn't open.

Ok open flash. Select rectangle tool. Draw out a button at
the normal size you want it. Then select the free transform tool.
Select the button you drew. In the center of the button should be a
circle. Drag this circle to the left edge of the button. You should
only move it horizontally across so that its still in the center
but on the left edge. Now select the black arrow again. Select the
button again and right click it to convert to symbol. name it
whatever you want. For this example I named it box. Make sure Movie
Clip is selected. (I'll explain in a minute). Also, make sure the
registration point is the left center edge. Just like when you
selected the free transform tool. Click Ok. Now for the
explaination. You want to always use Movie Clips instead of button.
Well not always but most of the time. Because movie clips can be
used for more than just buttons. I won't get too detailed but when
this tutorial is finished you will see you can make a movieclip
respond like a button.
Now back to work! :)
Now select box and go to properties and give instance name
box.
Insert layer. Open actions panel and insert the following
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
box.onRollOver = function() {
var tw:Tween = new
Tween(this,"_xscale",mx.transitions.easing.Elastic.easeOut,100,300,3,true);
box.onRollOut = function() {
var tw:Tween = new
Tween(this,"_xscale",mx.transitions.easing.Elastic.easeOut,300,100,3,true);
Now test your movie
you can go to help and find out more about the transition
tween classes. You can replace "Elastic" with "Strong" for a
different effect. There are others you can use also. Like I
mentioned before just look up transition manager or tween classes
to view other options. You can have a lot of fun with actionscript.
I view it as jedi powers. The more you learn the better you
become.

Hi Mark,
thanks for reply, I was making example on

using debug grid layout and put into REGION_05
...< div id = "munkyDiv" > #REGION_POSITION_O5# < / div>
in this way I can add 1,2,3 or more reports as tab and grid.
Simple example as first step is basic layout (integration ExtJS and Apex)>
