Moving, copying, and deleting selected pixels

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-76dba.h tml

How can I completely remove selected pixels, so that there is NOT the background colour after pressing delete? I want the picture to become smaller by cutting away unneeded pixels... I already worked a bit with a regular Photoshop version a few years ago and I think there was a cutting tool which cut away the pixels without replacing them... but with Photoshop 5.0 it seems I can only select pixels and press "clear", but then the pixels are not gone, but replaced, which I do not want... how can I make them dissappear when working on a background layer? Yes, this is very basic, but sorry, I cannot find it out...

  • Defining event handlers for renaming, moving, copying and deleting of files.

    Hi every one.
    I had created a tool for InDesign CS6 written using Javascript to manipulate portions of text in nested way by marking them with small non-printing small anchored text frames contains sequenced numbers and storing these portions as snippets in a spicific folder beside the InDesign documents.
    This tool is open source and free of charge, the only this that I want from you (after downloading) as a user to feedback and as a developer to improve it and join me.
    sourceforge.net/projects/livesnippets
    My question is not about this but I want to trace when the user rename, move, copy or delete a file of these snippets or any container folder and interact according to that by reserving the links between snippet files and their instances which interspersed in InDesign documents.
    Thanks.

    Here is an example of using Bridge events… What this scrript will do if you add it to Bridge scripts… is set *all* indesign snippets in the folders you browse to… to be locked/readonly… This means that users will get an extra dialog if they want to delete the file… Finder or Bridge… You can't just rename the file Finder or Bridge… and Bridge's Batch Rename will only function if the user makes copies to new location… You could set this property using the File Object with indesign…
    #target bridge
    onDocLoaded = function( event ) {
        if ( event.object instanceof Document && event.type == 'loaded' ) {
            lockIDSnippets();
            return { handled: true };
    function lockIDSnippets() {
        var i, count, doc, thum;
        doc = app.document;
        count = doc.visibleThumbnailsLength;
        for ( var i = 0; i < count; i++ ) {
            thum = doc.visibleThumbnails[i];
            if ( /\.idms/.test( thum.spec.name ) ) {
                thum.spec.readonly = true;
    // Register event handler
    app.eventHandlers.push( { handler: onDocLoaded } );

  • Getting eroor while copying and deleting user

    Hi All,
      I am unable to copy and delete users from one client, we are in ecc6.0. i am getting the following error while copying and deleting. the error is
    NUMBER_GET_NEXT AENDBELEG INTERVAL_MISSING.
    Please help me in this regard,

    Hi Praveen,
    Implement the program correction to ensure that the system issues the correct error message.
    Manually create the missing interval.
    You can use error message CD 121 to enable you to identify the error more accurately. Depending on the additional information, the status is as follows:
    OBJECT_MISSING : The entire AENDBELEG number range object is missing and must be created.
    INTERVAL_MISSING: Number range interval 01 is missing and must be created.
    INTERVAL_NOT_INTERNAL: The definition of number range interval 01 is incorrectly set to 'external number assignment'. Delete the 'external' selection in the interval definition.
    Check the definition of the AENDBELEG number range object in transaction SNRO:
    Object name:   AENDBELEG

  • Advanced table copy and delete slow when done programatically

    I am modifying a line in an advanced table, then copying it and deleting it. What I noticed is that
    it takes a lot less time to copy and delete manually within the application verses doing it programatically.
    To copy or delete 10 lines it takes about 1 or 2 seconds within the form. When I do this programatically
    it can take up to 20 seconds. Does anyone know why it takes so much longer?
    Here is a sample of my code.
              porequisitionlinesvorowimpl.setSelected("Y"); //programatically select line for copy
         ArrayList deletearraylist = null;
         String s1 = porequisitionlinesvorowimpl.getItemNumber();
              java.sql.Connection connection = oadbtransaction.getJdbcConnection();
              //Query values from for child item.
              OraclePreparedStatement oraclepreparedstatement = null;
              ResultSet resultset = null;
              try {oraclepreparedstatement = (OraclePreparedStatement)connection.prepareStatement("SELECT I2.DESCRIPTION WHERE                       I.SEGMENT1 = ?");
                               int i = 1;
                               oraclepreparedstatement.defineColumnType(i++, 12, 240);                                                                 oraclepreparedstatement.setString(1, s1);
                               resultset = oraclepreparedstatement.executeQuery();
                               while(resultset.next())
                                    //Collect values from query for child item.
                                    String desc = resultset.getString(1);
                              porequisitionlinesvorowimpl.setItemDescription(desc);
                              //Copy modified parent to produce a child line.
                              ArrayList copyarraylist = new ArrayList(2);
                               copyarraylist.add("populateAndDuplicate");
                               copyarraylist.add("lines");
                               executeServerCommand(oapagecontext, oaapplicationmodule, "CheckoutLinesSvrCmd", copyarraylist);
                               } //while loop for resultset
              resultset.close();
         oraclepreparedstatement.close();
              catch(SQLException sqlexception) {
                   ErrorUtil.handleFatalException(oadbtransaction, sqlexception, this);
              //Delete original Kit Parent           
              deletearraylist = new ArrayList(2);
              deletearraylist.add("populateAndDeleteReqLines");
              deletearraylist.add("lines");
              executeServerCommand(oapagecontext, oaapplicationmodule, "CheckoutLinesSvrCmd", deletearraylist);

    I timed these too and they appeared to completed very quickly. The only events that took a significant amount of time where the calls to the executeServerCommand when I copied and deleted lines.
    Can the database connection and looping the resultset be slowing these activities down?
    There is no VO existing that generates the query results I am looking for. Do I need to create my own VO?

  • I installed Windows 7 in my Macbook pro, I can access Windows data in Mac, but I can't copy and delete it. and the same case while i am working in Windows. Could you please guide me if there is any solution, where I could copy/paste/delete my data.

    OS X can natively read NTFS of Windows, but not write to it.
    Windows can't read or write to HFS+ of OSX, and that's a good thing from a security standpoint.
    Ideally if you share files between operating systems you should have a FAT/MSDOS formated USB key or hard drive. (exFAT external drive if any of your files are over 4GB in size) both these formats are universal for OS X or Windows.
    If you install software into Windows and OS X to read each others formats, then you have to pay to update/upgrade it deal with headaches.
    If you swtich between Windows and OS X a lot, don't need full hardware performance for Windows, you may consider installing virtual machine software like VMFusion or Parallels which can take a copy of your Windows in Bootcamp and place it into OS X as a file then run that copy of Windows in a window in OS X like so.
    Advantage here is you run most of your light weight Windows programs like this at the same time as OS X.
    Benefit is you can run just about any Windows or Linux version and OSX server editions (not client versions)
    Bootcamp only allows Windows 7, that's it now.
    You'll also be interested in two fre pieces of software, Carbon Copy Cloner and Winclone on macupdate.com.
    CCC clones OS X partition and Winclone clones the Bootcamp partition. Valuable for you.

  • I want to copy and paste selections of music?

    hi there, several years ago I just used sound edit to simply copy and paste selections of music and then put them together.
    Today all the programs I find are far too complicated for what I want.
    any suggestions for a program that will let me just select a section of music and paste it into a new file?
    thanx

  • How do i copy and paste selected rows from numbers to another numbers worksheet

    I have asked this question before, but it sounds as if numbers did not have the update at that time.  I have pasted a spreadsheet from excel into numbers.  I would now like to take selected rows, for example, row 5, row 9, row 22, row 27, etc, copy these entire rows, and pastte into another blank numbers work sheet.  In excel, one can hold down the ctrl key, and click on each row they want to copy, and all will be copied in one operation,  Than you can paste into a new excel work sheet.  I have tried this on my ipad 2 many times, holding down the command key, and tapping on each row I want to copy.  I just cannot get this to work.  Please let me know how to do this, if numbers even has this possible.  Thanks.

    I have tried this on my ipad 2 many times, holding down the command key, and tapping on each row I want to copy.
    Command Key.... on ipad? Ddint know there was one.
    As for copying non-continuous ranges, cannot be done on ipad at this time. On a desktop maybe, but i cannot test it right now.
    Each row can be done individually, or you could sort the rows to grab the range you want. To do this (espeically if there is nothing that is unique about them), just make a new column and place a 1 in the cell for each row you want to copy, sort. That will place all your rows together and enable you to copy.paste them back out.
    If you want to preserve the original sort order, make another column (I usually use A for this) and put in =ROW() as the equation. Fill it down for the whole table and copy/paste values over it. now after you do any kind of sorting, you can always return the list to the original sort order.

  • Choose and deleted selected photographs

    So, A very simple task (which was like a cakewalk in Windows world that too since XP):
    Clicked around 100 photographs in both portrait and landscape mode. Want to choose the best ones. Choosing also includes the process of rotate-left / rotate-right. Delete unwanted photographs.
    Selected the photographs and opened all of them in Preview. Command+Delete or right-click and Move to Trash will delete the unwanted photographs for me.
    BUT if I rotate a pic and after rotation I decide that I don't want the pic and delete it using any of the two options (Command+Delete or right-click and Move to Trash), it gets deleted from finder momentarily and re-appears in finder after sometime. I suppose that is because preview tries to save the rotation operation after the deletion and that makes the file to re-appear.
    A possible work around solution: save the file after rotation and then delete it ??? Really :O :O
    Please tell me that there is a better solution or my faith in OS X dies if it has failed to take care of such a simple and mundane task and still want to claim that it is the best system for media and graphics

    A possible work around solution: save the file after rotation and then delete it ??? Really :O :O
    That should work. If you don't save the change, the original won't get deleted.

  • Copy and delete using FM - HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION..

    BEGDA                      ENDDA
    01.01.2005     30.09.2007
    01.10.2007     31.12.9999
    After this again I am using HR_READ_INFOTYPE with BEGDA and ENDDA as 01.10.2007, I was expecting the latest record that begda with 01.10.2007 but I am getting the old record that 01.01.2005 and 31.12.2007….!! When I cross check using PA20/PA0010 It shows two records but when I use HR_READ_INFOTYPE it still access the old records…!!, how do we overcome this , for me I need to record with begda 01.10.2007 and endda 31.12.9999 so that I can delete it…!!

  • Using a server side package to copy and delete flat files.

    Can anyone tell me if it is possible to copy or delete flat files using comands issued from within a PL/SQL program unit on the server. I know of the package UTL_FILE for the reading and writing of flat files.

    Malcolm,
    if you use 8i, you can create a Java class to do that for you, and call one of it's metohds from PL/SQL, see http://www.oracle.com/oramag/oracle/00-Mar/o20java.html

  • Can I programmatically copy and delete VIs within LLBs?

    When I try to programmatically copy a vi within a llb using the "copy"-vi I get an error. The same occurs with "delete". Is there any way in LabView 5.1 to get that going? Does it work in LV 6? Thanks for any idea,
    Daniel Troendle

    Dennis is partially correct. I think all LV versions have it, because it is used in the menu system to manage VI libraries.
    If you go to vi.lib->utility->libraryn.llb, you'll see the librarian vis, including the librarian delete. This will allow you to delete a file in a library.
    I don't have the professional version, and I have it. I tried it, and it works.

  • Copying and Enabling Selected Updates from Apple Still Copies ALL Updates

    Hello,
    On the attempt to become a bit more independent from outside servers (e.g. e-mail, web, file sharing), I bought Mac OS X 10.6 Server.
    Being new to server and while my current Internet setup does not allow me to do much from the outside, I at least played a bit around to see how things are to work and also came across the Software Update service. As it is stated, this service is to preserve bandwidth by downloading the updates available from Apple.
    Now, according to the built-in help one can select to disable "Copy all (new) update from Apple" in order to only enable selected updates. However, this still downloads ALL available updates on my hard drive including stuff for items I do not own, possess or have access to (e.g. Xsan, Mac OS X 10.4.11 update).
    How is that preserving bandwidth then?!?
    What is the "Copy all (new) update from Apple" feature for, if when disabled it still downloads everything once you click the "Copy Now" button?!? Once downloaded, I do not mind if unnecessary items are enabled or not in the end, but I do mind the bandwidth and storage usage for such items in the first place.
    Is there a way to only download certain, selected updates? I can enable them manually, if I have to.
    Thanks to anyone trying to help!

    Hacking an iPhone to unlock it or for any other reason is against Apple's license agreement for the iPhone, is not supported by Apple directly or indirectly via these discussions, and voids the warranty.
    Installing a firmware update on an iPhone that has been hacked to be unlocked re-locks the iPhone to the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked with - in this case with AT&T. If the hack that was used to unlock your iPhone has not been updated to be compatible with firmware update 3.0, which also changes the baseband, you are in trouble.
    No one here will be able to provide you any help since as I already provided, hacking an iPhone is against Apple's license agreement for the iPhone and these discussions are provided and moderated by Apple.

  • Modification dates change when moving/copying between hard-drive and flash

    I use a flash drive to store most of my work-related documents on. That way, I have them when I'm at school (on a Windows XP computer) and at home on my Mac OS 10.3.9. I
    try to occasionally back-up my flash drive by dragging it's contents to my Mac. Copying in this direction USUALLY retains the appropriate modification date.
    However, if I move things from the Mac to the USB drive (I occasionally make changes to a file on the Mac when my flashdrive isn't handy), the modification date changes to the copy/move date. Is there a way around this? It alters the information about the file and sometimes makes a version look newer than another version of a document. When in reality, it’s older--it’s just been moved/copied and the date changed.
    I often move things back and forth for backup purposes, but if it keeps changing the dates on it’s own, it’s impossible to tell which is REALLY the
    most current copy/version.
    Is there a fix so that copying and moving files between volumes does NOT change the modification date of the file?
    Powerbook G4--12 in.--1.33 GHz   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hi, teacher. When my Lexar JumpDrive Secure is formatted as a MS-DOS volume so a PC can read it, the last-mod dates of files that I copy to it are changed to the date and time of copying. When it's formatted as a Mac OS Extended volume, the original last-mod dates are copied to it unchanged. Looks like you can thank Bill Gates for the inconvenience: apparently it's a DOS file system "feature". Don't you wish you could use Windoze all the time?
    On second thought, the files really are changed when you write them to a DOS volume, because the DOS file system has no place to store the metadata about your files that a Mac pays attention to and a Windoze box doesn't. So when you write Mac files to a DOS volume, that metadata — which is part of each Mac file — is simply discarded, causing the last-mod date to change.

  • Automated Reply and Delete of Selected Messages in Mail

    First the situation, I do support work and have been receiving direct e-mails for support requests for the last 14 years. With additional people in the group, I want to force people to send e-mail to our helpdesk e-mail address to get support so other group members can provide assistance. Of course, these are old habits to break. I've been sending a canned message stored in Stickies saying something like "Your e-mail has been deleted, go to the helpdesk for support", but would like to automate that process.
    I found that in Entourage, you can create a rule, not have it active, and then manually run that rule by selecting "Message -> Apply Rule -> <Rule-Name>". Unfortunately, I don't normally have Entourage open.
    How would one use Rules in Mail.app, Automator, and/or AppleScript to accomplish this? I looked around at the default actions in Automator for Mail, but didn't really find what I thought would work. I also searched around for new actions to Mail, but still didn't find a way to reply-to and delete selected messages.
    Any suggestions or pointers on where to look?

    What do you mean? There is no such sound in Mail...
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    The problem you have in Mail is usually caused by some Launch Services cache or preferences corruption. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services -- the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
    Resetting Launch Services
    If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, this other article provides links to some utilities that can be used for troubleshooting and cache cleaning:
    Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
    It seems that the most appropriate utility for solving this particular problem is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:

    As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
    1. Quit all applications.
