Multiple shapes on a single layer with different line-weights & colour fills

I'm just beginning with photoshop CS6 and I'm struggling with something in a project that should be simple
I need to draw a circle within a circle within a circle within a circle etc etc.
I need to give the circle lines different weights and colours and I need to change the colour of the fills between the lines.
Imagine if you will a diagram of the Earth's cross-section. That's roughly what I'm going for.
I don't want each circle on a different layer though, it would be way too hectic.
I can't figure out how to change the properties of one shape in the layer without changing all the others.
It's super frustrating.
Can anyone explain how to do this?
Thanks in advance.

A shape is a vector path that defines the shape. The fill of that shape fills the entire layer and the vector mask asks like a cutter so you only see what is inside that mask. Since a single layer can have only a single color what you ask can not be done.
What you can do, when you are satisifed with the circles is to merge the layers into a single layer, then that layer will consist of only pixels and can then have multiple colors defining it. But do that as your final step, as once it is done, it is more difficult to edit it.
What is better is to group the shape layers to hide them or convert them into a smart object. It will look like a single layer, but at any time in the future including after closing the file, you double click on the thumbnail of that layer and view the individual layers to edit them.
There will come a time when you wish you could easily change a color to stroke thickness, even a year layer. Thats where the shape layers really shine. As they are non-destructive.

How to display multiple components in a single tabstrip with different tabs

Hi Experts,
I am working on PM UI development. We have created 5 webdynpro components and all have seperate application and link to run. Now we have requirement in which we should have a single window and all components should exist in different tabs.
Till now I have used Tabstrip in a single copmponent and have no idea how to fix this issue. Could you please help me out to get this done ASAP.
Thanks in advance.
Madhu Omer

Hi Madhu,
One option that you can try now is to create a new webdnpro component with a tabstrip.
1. To each of the tab area you attach view container.
2. In the used components of webdynpro component tab you can add each of the components that you created
3. Create inboud plugs for each of these application that you created.
4. When the tab is pressed trigger a call to the inbound plug of the applications
5. You can refer the following also https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/docs/DOC-24752

Multiple UWL for the single user with different Role

Dear SAP Gurs,
We have one critical requirement on the Universal worklist, as a functional requirement like some Approvers will play different roles as approver, needs to track saperately the approver inboxes for the same person.
For Example :
Approver A - is an Purchase Exicutive(Role)
Approver B - Is an Purchase Manager(Role)
Every time Apporver A has to access his approval requests seperately ( Belongs to Approver A) and take action, as well Approver A has to see Approver B's actions items seperatly and take action.
currently we have 4 levels available and single person has to take action on based on the 4 different Approves(Role)
Is there any work around for the abobe requirement.
Thanks in advance,

The same requirement i want to tweak in by adding one more column in the UWL by enhancing the BOR.
i have try with below , can you please suggenst can be done by Virtual attributes.
Once data is comming in the UWL i will put 3 custome filters
We need to add a new column in UWL, which is present as a Table SWWORGTASK, in this we have to pass WI_ID and get ORG_OBJ populate it as a column in UWL.
Please suggent how can we impliment this ? do we needs to create virtual ttribute in the BOR from the same.
as we have reffered the below link, we are not able to implimant the same. Kindly suggest.

Printing multiple PR with different line items in smartform

Hello all,
I have an requirement to print multiple PR with different line items on different pages.
So,suppose two PR are there,PR1 and PR2 with n no of line items,then i should get each PR on different page with its line items.
Note: One loop processing is already there on line items.
Best Regards,
Anurodh

Hi,
Fetch all the PRs and its corresponding items into 2 different table. Then Loop at the internal whihc contains the PRs and call the 2nd internal table for its items and call the FM for smartforms and pass them.
LOOP AT it_PR.

Export or Print different line weights (like in AutoCAD)

Is there a way to Export / Print / Save As artwork with reduced line weights like you can in AutoCAD? i.e. Export a PDF and all line thickness is reduced by 50%
I have a map project that I'm working on and I want to export different sections of the map at different scales (different zoom levels) which when you export a PDF, displays line thickess differently for each level of zoom. I'd like to have it setup similar to AutoCAD where I can create a window and now matter what level of zoom, the lines are exported at the same thickness (I'd use Artboards as export windows)
Sorry if this is confusing! Is there a Plug-In or another way to do this without physically changing the line weights?

Do you want a PDF that displays different line weights depending on zoom level? Not possible. Or do you want to export a PDF with line weights different from the ones in your Illustrator file? Possible, even recordable as an action.
Once the artwork is selected, go to Object > Transform > Scale. Scale to 50% and turn on Scale Strokes & Effects, then click OK. Repeat, this time with scaling set to 200% and turn off Scale Strokes & Effects. Save or Save a Copy, then undo twice.
Here it is an an action: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5005292/Set_1.aia

Hi,
Is it possible to create Multiple R12 EBS instance (i.e. TEST and DEV ), in to Single Database ( using same database binary ).
Or Can these different EBS instance , configured with Single Database using differant Oralce SID ( means creating Multiple databases with Single binary )
Please guide,
Thanks

Exporting multiple video tracks as 1 file with different effects on each track.

I am currently trying to export 3 video tracks as 1 mp4.
Each track has exactly the same footage, but with different effects to achieve a certain aesthetic.
When I view the sequence it in premiere all 3 tracks are displayed correclty.
The exported version appears to only export the uppermost track, track 3.
Track 2 and 3 have opacity set to 47%.
Track 1 opacity is set to 100%.
I have tried exporting a test project that has multiple layers and there was no problem.
I have NOT tried exporting a test project with exactly the same opacities and effects, as it's a bit time consuming. I will do so if I can't get a stisafctory solution from the forums.
The problem, I believe, is down to the layering of effects. In this case on track 3 I have procamp, which is boosting the red in 1 layer. This is the image I get once the final piece is exported - track 3's.
So..
How do I get the effects of each layer to show properly in the export?
and
Why is the exported version missing tracks (or the effects of tracks) 1 and 2?

You didn't answer probably the most important question: whether you're using hardware or software Mercury Playback Engine (MPE). However, since you've set Maximum Render Quality on, it's largely irrelevant.
When you're using hardware MPE or have the MRQ flag set for your export, rendering is performed with linear color. Linear color processing affects how color channels and alpha channels are composited--anything less than 100% opacity is subject to linear color processing. Check out this article for more information on linear color/linear light: Linear Light - Artbeats
Since it sounds like you're seeing the results you expect in the Program Monitor, but not export, I'll wager you're not using hardware MPE. Only by disabling the Maximum Render Quality flag on export will you be able to get results that match what you see in the Program Monitor (within reason, of course). The only way you could see the effects of linear color within Premiere would be to either use a qualified GPU that enables hardware MPE, or go into your Sequence Settings and check the "Maximum Render Quality" option and then render previews.
Please let me know if that helps resolve the issue, or at least provide a little insight into the problem.

In I-Tunes, how can I consolidate multiple copies of the same album with different tracks into one file in my library screen?

In Windows 7 , I tunes library/ albums, I have many albums ( all the same) with different tracks in each.
Is it possible to consolidate the multiple cover photos into one ?

Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things, if not see Grouping tracks into albums.

Confused about synching multiple phones to the same computer with different content: itunes wants to erase everything??

I have had an i5 for some time, but my partner just bought one to replace her 3GS. We both synch to my itunes, and have been doing so for as long as I can recall. When we got her i5, we backed up her 3GS and reloaded the content into her i5. So far so good. Now, this couple of weeks later, I decided I wanted to put some of the movies, music, etc. that I have on my itunes library on her phone. I had previous installed some of the apps that I have there without trouble. However, when I tell my itunes to put movies (etc) onto her phone, it warns me (upon apply) that this phone has been sync'ed to another itunes, and that I can do what I am asking, but it will erase everything on the phone now! I cancelled this op at this point.
As far as I know neither of us has sync'ed her phone to any other itunes, although she has probably downloaded stuff directly into the phone using the onboard itunes. Is that what it's warning me about? Is there any way to either pull the content off the phone, or merge the content with what she had locally downloaded? If not, I'm willing to sacrifice the few things that she had locally loaded as long as it's not going to, for example, erase all her photos, and contacts, and everything else as well at the same time!
This is all rather confusing to me. It's actually rather confusing that one can synch multiple devices with different settings at all, and I'm extremely surprised that it works at all. Can someone clarify what's going on here? What I should/shouldn't do? What I can/can't do?
Thanks in advance!

First make sure you have authorised the iTunes computer you are using for all of the associated apple ID's via the Store Menu>Authorise this computer and enter the apple ID and password used on the phone (repeat for as many apple ID's are in use on the phone).
Then right-click (or Control Click) on the name of the phone and select Transfer Purchases (this can also be found under File>Device>Transfer purchases). This will back up all of the purchases on the device to your computer, then when you sync with the phone it will put them back on even though it has just removed them.
Its a round about way of doing it but she shouldn't loose anything as long as the computer is authorised for all of the apple ID's used on the phone

Is there a way to add multiple borders to a single cell with one click or do I have to add one border at a time for example, one cell with borders on three sides?

I would like to know if there is a way to add multiple borders to a single cell or selection of cells in one click. At this time, if i want to add for example a top border and a bottom border to a single cell I have to do this in two steps: first select the top border, style, thickness, and color, and then next select the bottom border, style, thickness, and color. Is there a way to select the top and bottom border of a cell in one click? Clicking on the top border then holding down the command key while selecting the bottom border does not work, nor does holding down the option key, the control key, or the shift key work. Thanks for your help.

Thank you for the suggestion but this did not work for my Mac. When a cell is selected for which I want borders, the entire cell is lit up. Then when I go to the border tool and select style, thickness, and color, the entire lit up cell takes on the border, that is the Outside Edges of the cell now have a border. So selecting the style, thickness, and color first doesn't work.
If I select the top border first (or any border), the drop down goes away and I can't select multiple borders - I get to choose one at a time. After selecting one border, style, thickness, and color, said border is now on the spreadsheet. Then I go back to the border selection and pick another border and the the previously selected style, thickness, and color reverts to null, so I start over with the new border style, thickness, and color. Yes, it is tedious.
The Fix would allow the user to select multiple borders, say left and right, before the drop down goes away after selecting only one border
Does it have something to do with Allow or Disallow border selection?

How do I save multiple copies of the same photo with different edits

I want to make several photos (each with different crops and enhancements) from one existing photo and also want to keep my original as is for future edits.. Is there a save as feature or a way to copy paste to different albums.

Sha the original to itunes or the Camera Roll. Make the edits you want the share the photo to the Camera Roll or more per able iTunes. The make more edits and share again. To go back to the original photo you can use the Revert to Original function.

Multiple independent devices on Single installation with independent monthly rental charges

Hi Experts,
4 Independent single register based devices installed (Tech+ Billing) in a single installation with same time slice. There is only monthly rental charges for each independent meter. No meter reading required and NO consumption charges. I believe we can do this scenario. Can anybody advise for any consequences?
Note: number of devices can change from 2/3/4.

Hi,
How are you going to satisfy the meter read orders to make it billable without entering the meter reads? If you do not need any meter read, can't you use any flat rate / time dependent prices? The amount output will be same but you will not be using any settle* variant program. You may use any Lumsum* variant program. If you do not use the devices for entering meter read, do you have any requirement of installing the devices with the utility installation?
Thanks.

Trouble with fonts/lines weight

Hello everyone,
I am coming to you because I have a problem for which i cannot see any solution... I am not specialized in indesign, but yet I used it for a long time and this problem looks really strange for me. I will directly show you a picture :
Here are also diret links to bigger pictures :
http://i83.servimg.com/u/f83/10/05/57/17/bold10.jpg
http://www.servimg.com/u/f83/10/05/57/17/light10.jpg
(right click > open in new tab, then switch between tabs to see the problem)
As you can see, the weight of text and lines change between the documents. The problem is, there are supposed to be exactly the same, as they come from the same master. (these pictures are just an example, i have the same problem for about half of my pages). When I unlink both from the master with ctrl+shift+click, then i delete the light one and try to copy the bold one, the problem remains, showing it is not an object issue but more a page issue. Problem is, I created those pages by dupplicating them when needed... so they really should be the same.
Of course, i thought at the beginning it was an indesign problem, but when I export it to pdf, the problem remains. And the worst is, it is still there after print, making the light one almost unreadable.
When i export to eps and put it in adobe distiller, the problem is fixed for texts! But it remains on any non-text object, like the scissors and scissors-lines.
I don't really know what I can do, and my timeline is getting really close. Thanks in advance for reading, and thanks alot to anyone who can give me an idea of what to look for.
Please note that i use indesign cs6.
Regards,
Antoine

Yeah this is something i've done, because the text above we don't see here is bigger. But it sure isn't because of this, as I have said I have the same probleme on lots of pages, and it does it for the whole content of the page, including master's elements or unique elements. Only objetcs where there isn't problem is on imported photos... Also, please note that i see the problem on high quality offset industrial printers, the one which will be used to print the thousand of pages in a few days.
Ok i just tried a lot of things to upload the pages here. I went through modifications and all, to send you two fake pages. At the end of modifications the problem was gone... So by watching every step of the modifications i made i identified the problem :
The lines and fonts get thin when i put pictures on the spread (it gets thin if i put pictures on the facing page also) and it's getting back in bold when i delete them. Now that i know this, i can see that indeed every pages with pictures are the pages with thin lines... the thing is, i will have to put pictures on every pages.
Pictures are psd in CMYK japan coated if this can help.
I'll let you know if i find the solution, in the meantime thank you if you have any tip
If i don't find anything i may just make the font a bit bolder, but I don't really like this solution because text placement is really precise in some pages.
Thanks a lot for your answers!
