Mask leaves outline that throws off keying

Whenever I add a mask to a clip, it leaves an outline around the edge that requires more settings in the keyer to get rid of. This is highly annoying, as it is supposed to help with the keying process, not cause another issue. Is there an easy way to remove this outline or prevent it from happening?

  • Replace a key that fell off keyboard

    Hi There,
    I can't seem to put back a key that fell off the keyboard of my daughter's graphite ibook. It doesn't seem broken but I wondered if there was a trick that I'm missing.
    Thanks

    Sometimes these keys can be tricky to get back on. What you should be able to do is place the key exactly where it should go and then press down on it and it should snap into place without you even having to do anything. Unfortunately this doesn't always work, but with some attempts to get it back on you should usually get it.
    Sorry If I couldn't be of that much assistance.

    Hi...
    Use Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk if necessary, or reinstall the Mac OS X.

    You'll need to use a wired (USB) keyboard.

  • Clipping Masks and Opacity Masks leaving slight hairline

    I'm running into a problem when using a clipping mask or opacity mask in Illustrator CC 17.1. Either type of mask leaves a slight outline around the masking object, creating a noticeable break in what should be a uniform background. Some details:
    I've created a ring in 4 quadrants. Each quadrant contains patterns/objects that need to be isolated from one another. Over top of the artwork of each quadrant, I Paste In Place a copy of the quadrant's shape whose colours for background and stroke are both set to none, the stroke value field is blank, not set to 0. Where the same colour in the adjacent areas of each quadrant meet there is a faint hairline. These are meant to be seamless and I don't know why this is happening. When viewing as Outlines, all vectors are overlapping perfectly to my eye.
    I've tried the same thing with simpler shapes as a test and get the same results. In this example of 3 stacked objects, I built the shapes using the (top) Shape Builder tool, (middle) clipping mask and (bottom) opacity mask:
    As you can see, the results are inconsistent but there are definitely faint lines in each case. The Shape Builder does not have a line between the black shapes for some reason yet there's one between the cyan colours where the stacked masked objects meet. Meanwhile it's the reverse situation for the 2 following blocks.
    I've read posts in this forum and others about this being an anti-aliasing issue, that it won't print with the faint outlines, but not every application of this graphic will be going to print. I've exported EPS files, PDFs and various other formats. I didn't notice any hairlines in a TIFF but the library of files I will be providing to my client will consist of vector and other raster files like PNGs and JPGs that do show the faint outlines. When I place a PDF or EPS into an Illustrator or InDesign layout, the hairlines remain so that documents sent electronically, not printed, have these noticeable lines. They also remain when I place an EPS into Photoshop which is unacceptable for building graphics for the web.
    Can anyone tell me if there's a solution for making seamless transitions between masked objects in Illustrator? Or this just an inherent flaw with Illustrator (or perhaps my approach to building these graphics)?

    Well it's good to know I'm not approaching building my graphics in the wrong way, haha. I'm working in picas actually, I didn't think the type of units would make any difference.
    I'm not quite sure I follow what you're suggesting (perhaps too much BBQ on the brain right now) but some points are on whole values and some aren't. I'm not sure how I could change those to whole values and maintain proper geometric proportions, though.
    Some additional info:
    1. Just saved PDF and EPS copies. Both show the hairlines in the following: QuickLook, Reader, Preview, when placed into Illustrator / InDesign / Photoshop, and when opened directly in Photoshop (with the exception of the EPS). Only the EPS opened directly with Photoshop was free of the hairlines.
    2. When exporting to JPG and PNG, using the Type Optimized setting retains hairlines but they disappear if Art Optimized is chosen. So that's one little trick I just learned.
    So there are ways that I can save them without hairlines, that's great. But once I distribute PDFs and EPS files for the client/third parties to place into publications for electronic distribution the hairlines will appear in those documents. I could ask them to place hi-res raster files instead but it doesn't give them the flexibility that vector graphics afford.
    Is there a similar option to 'Art Optimized' I'm overlooking when exporting PDFs and EPS files? As a test, under EPS Options > Transparency I tried both the High Resolution and For Complex Art presets and it didn't make any difference.

  • Not able to logging in DAC 11g, throws "Security Key is invalid or unavailable"

    Hi Friends,
    I installed DAC 11g in Linux (Installed in Windows and moved it to Linux and configured). It was working fine and sometimes it throws "Security Key is invalid or unavailable".
    I updated the DAC Repository schema details using standaloneServerSetupPrompt.bat file. Also getting the same issue.
    Appreciate your help on this.
    Thanks,
    Sakthi.S

    you need to contact your BASIS admin and tell them to check if BM7CLNT100 is available for access and that credentials you are using are authorized to access it.
    I'm assuming you're using SAP Authentication to login. If you login using Enterprise - you should be able to login into Infoview or CMC as BW changes will not affect that.

  • Issue with INSERT INTO, throws primary key violation error even if the target table is empty

    Hi,
    I am running a simple
    INSERT INTO Table 1 (column 1, column 2, ....., column n)
    SELECT column 1, column 2, ....., column n FROM Table 2
    Table 1 and Table 2 have same definition(schema).
    Table 1 is empty and Table 2 has all the data. Column 1 is primary key and there is NO identity column.
    This statement still throws Primary key violation error. Am clueless about this? 
    How can this happen when the target table is totally empty? 
    Chintu

    Nope thats not true
    Either you're not inserting to the right table or in the background some other trigger code is getting fired which is inserting into some table which causes a PK violation.

But my computer (windows 7) can't open these photos! ! ! They, for some reason gray, translucent. On Mac everything opens well. I formatted a hard drive already by means of standard windows of the utility, but then I with Mac on a flash card can't throw off anything. Help, please.

    In my experience you get an outline when
    a) the selection is not large enough, and/or
    b) the feathering value is too small.
    I get rid of such outlines by
    a) increasing the selection by let's say 5 pixels (>Selection >Modify >Enlarge) but the amount is dependant on how big your selection is in relation to the image, and I migh tincrease the selection by 10 pixels if necessary;
    b) increase feathering to maybe 5 pixels.
    You have to play around with these values a bit. These are not hard rules; every image is different. With time you will know intuitively which values to choose.
    But sometimes you can't avoid to clean up with the clone tool afterward.

  • How would I make it so that when "deleting" an image I can make it so that the delete key does it or a button I put on the application?

    How would I make it so that when "deleting" an image I can make it so that the delete key does it or a button I put on the application?
    I want it so that I can use either a button on the designer window or the delete key. I know how to do the or part but the trouble I'm having is coding the button in.
    if (LastImageClicked != null && (e.Key == Key.Delete || Button))
    This is the code that I have in the format I'm looking for I just don't know how to do it. Thanks for your help!

    There are a number of things which are unclear about your question.
    I'll tell you one way to approach this though.
    Handle Window.PreviewKeyDown.
    <Window
    Window.PreviewKeyDown="Mainwindow_PreviewKeyDown"
    Code behind
    private void Mainwindow_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
    if (e.Key == Key.Delete)
    File.Delete("p001.jpg");
    I don't know enough about what you mean by LastImageClicked  but you need some way of knowing which path you are going to delete.
    Then you might well have a problem if it's showing in an image control.
    You will need to copy the picture off disk into a new bitmapimage object.
    If you just do
    <Image Source="p001.jpg"
    Then that image will grab the file and you won't be able to delete it - you'll  get an error.
    In my experimental code p001.jpg is set as content copy always so it ends up next to the exe in the bin when the solution compiles.
    You would probably want a full path to a file there.
    Hope that helps.

  • Outline path to create an outline that includes the rounded edge?

    In illustrator CS6 I have a line with a rounded endpoints. When I try to OUtLINE PATH - it will clip off the rounded edge -- as if I'm asking AI to outline a path with a non-rounded edge. How can I get outline path to create an outline that includes the rounded edge? Many thanks!

    Karen,
    It sounds like something that may require something from this list.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Can I leave secondary HDD powered off until I need it?

    Hi all,
    Like many others, I'm thinking of replacing my HDD with an SSD and replacing my optical drive with the original HDD. I plan on using the SSD as my boot volume and the HDD for storage. Part of the reason I am switching to an SSD is that I carry my laptop around quite a lot and don't feel confident that the HDD won't fail because of all the motion.
    My question is: Can I leave the HDD powered off until I want to use it? Thus saving battery life and reducing the risk of HDD failure from being moved around too much. I would like to be able to mount the drive when I want to access the storage and unmount it when it is not in use. Is this possible?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the reply, wjosten. Maybe I will save a bit of money for now and not replace the optical drive after all - I will get an external enclosure for the HDD instead.
    After discovering that there is zero import duties/customs to import an SSD from the US to Ireland (although I will still have to pay VAT at 23%), I have ordered an OWC Mercury Electra 6G 120gb directly from OWC. Even after paying VAT on the import, it was still €50/$66 cheaper to import from US than to buy on amazon.co.uk, which was the cheapest I could find in the UK or Ireland!
    I've gone way off topic now, but thanks again for replying and pointing me towards that thread.

    well, you know how it is - glitches that usually resolve with a hard reset etc
    then a restore. then a factory restore....then ..... nothing fixes so I try the next step with apple online - fill out my serial number and find it is a couple of weeks out of date - and then with the holidays who has time to get to the apple store? this is my second 4s handset as it is - first one the glass cracked from L to R without any impact/damage etc - they changed it out automatically because it's a 'known fault' apparently - so technically, this handset is only 6 months old - but warranty is from original purchase date -
    never imagined it would turn out to be a warranty issue with the phone - and hey maybe when I get a chance to go to the apple store they'll be sympathetic, but I won't be able to get there till at least Jan 4th as it is. On the other hand, another iOS update might resolve the issue - but how long till that release? at the moment I'm having to use my old 3gs for wifi and 4s for phone!!!

  • HT201269 I have an IPhone 4 that turns off.When I plug the phone into a outlet, it says to connect to iTunes. But my phone doesn't connect. I need to backup info to sync to a new iPhone. Is there another way to get the info from the old one?

    I have an IPhone 4 that turns off on its own. When I plug the phone into an outlet, it says to connect to iTunes. When i connect my phone to itunes, the screen displays the apple icon and doesn't connect to iTunes.  I need to backup info on this phone so I can apply my back up to a new iPhone. Is there any another way i can do this? My older phone will not show it's connected to iTunes. I used iCloud on the phone with problems, but I didn't back up all the info thru iCloud. Is there another way to back up?

    Sounds like your phone is in recovery mode.  In this case, all data on it is gone.  There's nothing to back up.
