Need to create template to delete sections (in a batch of images, if possible)

I was given a batch of photos (all the same size) that need notches punched into each side. The result are notches with deleted space on both sides.
Since there is a stack of them to do--and the notches need to be precise--I was trying to figure out; 1) How should the template look? Specifically, should the area to be punched out be black or white? What color should the area to remain be, etc.? 2) Once the template is set up what is the process to punch out the area to be deleted? 3) Is there a way to automate the process with a batch command?
Would appreciate knowing the steps required or if you know of a tutorial (free) on the procedure.
[CS5 Photoshop]

White is opaque and black is transparent. Once you made your selection you can save the selection to a new document. The new document will then contain the alpha mask and a layer that matches it. An action could then load the new document and load the selection then close the new doument.
Anyway I am sure you will find multiple ways to do this.

No you cannot trigger a paragraph style with a character or character style.
But you can have a Apply Next Character Style
Accountable for: <paragraph style name "Heading 1">
>> Bullet1 <paragraph style name "Bullet">
In the Heading 1 style go to "Next Style" under "General"
and choose "Bullet"
The select from "Accountable for:" to the last bullet in the list
Right Click on the Heading 1 style and go to Apply Heading 1 and Next Style.

Hi,
I dont know the solution for this, but heres a work arround
//create new label some where else in the excel sheet as shown below
Label lblcmbdata;
for(int i=0; i<1000; i++)
             lblcmbdata = new Label(75, i, (i+1)+" satish", format);
             sheet1.addCell(lblcmbdata);
}//set the validation range as shown below
writableCellFeature.setDataValidationRange(75,0,75,1000);
Label cmb = null;
cmb = new Label(0, 1, "Select",format);
cmb.setCellFeatures(writableCellFeature);
sheet.addCell(cmb);this will create a combo list with 1000 values
also you can keep the data to be populated in the different sheet in same workbook by creating a named range as below
workbook.addNameArea("cmbdata", sheet1, 0, 0, 0, 1000);
// then fill the data in sheet1
Label lblcmbdata;
for(int i=0; i<1000; i++)
                lblcmbdata = new Label(0, i, (i+1)+" satish", format);
                sheet1.addCell(lblcmbdata);
//set the validation named range as below
writableCellFeature.setDataValidationRange("cmbdata");
Label cmb = null;
cmb = new Label(0, 1, "Select",format);
cmb.setCellFeatures(writableCellFeature);
sheet.addCell(cmb);Thanks and Regards

Need to create a 'gradient mask' using a b&w photo image.

I have not created a document yet and would like some thought on how to do this: I want to use a continuous tone black and white image which is somewhat close to what would be a 'knockout' but with soft edges - so it gradates appropriately over the background image I want to use, making the black part of the image used as the mask become much of the effect of a gradient mask: the background image shows through whereever there is the 'black' and 'tone' of the image. I hope this makes sense.
my first thought is to create a layer mask and then paste the black and white image onto that, but I'm not sure if that will work to accept the 'soft tones' of the image and work appropriately.
Has anyone had experience with this type of thing that they can share what steps I should take to make this effect work?
TIA,
Ken

See/search for PPW, Dan Margulis, Photoshop books on color corrections such as LAB or Photoshop workflow, or Italian site "color duels" or Yahoo group "colortheory".
This is interesting. I'll check these sources and try some of this today. Thanks Doug.

Creating a photoshop action to save a batch of images as patterns

I am trying to use Photoshop actions to script about a thousand image files into PAT files. I am running into a problem with actions when it comes to defining a pattern. The program naturally selects the filename as the name of the pattern when doing it manually, but when I do this while recording an action Photoshop logs the filename used in creating the action and then uses that filename for all sripted patterns. Is there a way to alter that setting to select the current file's name instead?

You might want to move this thread to the general photoshop forum if tou want an action. However your not going to be able to do create the action you want for when you record menu Edit>Define Pattern the "Pattern Name Dialog" will pop up and whatever is used in it will be recorded into the action.
Also Photoshop Scripting DOM does not have a interface for creating and nameing patterns. However you should bne ale to write a script to do what you want using code generated with Photoshop Scriptlistner Plug-in and modifying the hard coded name to a variable you set with somthing like the active document name.
Before defining the patern you may be able to see if the name is all ready use for a pattern name so you can add something to the name to avoid duplicateing name.

Create templates for LSO

Dear gurus,
I need to create templates for the LSO. Templates which we can capture data on for the personal development plans. I need these templates to have a drop down not to allow free text. For instance, when an employee's going for a course, the information must come from the templates regarding courses he needs to attend in that prticular financial year as per his PDP. I appreciate your input in advance

To learn about templates, see http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/project-templates.html
Another solution is page fragments: See http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/pagefragments.html

Need to create stupid proof templates for non-designers

Ok folks, I'm new to this forum having come across it in search of a solution to my problem.
I need to create illustrator template files (.ai not .ait) that customers can download and use to create their own artwork for print. I have to create them in every printable paper format from business cards to A3 posters, folding, non-folding yada yada.
Now, previously, we used an .ai file with a guide layer we created. This guide layer had all relevant info, was named accordingly. It was set not to print and locked. As I tend to use print to file, distiller and all, this has always been perfectly adequate to create my pdfs. Of course, this doesn't work the same way when saving a pdf, which is what most people do. However, customers who wish to download the templates are having some difficulty with the concept of 'make sure you delete the guide layer before saving your pdf'.
For the most part, the customers using these files are not illustrator literate. Even though there are clear instructions to 'delete' the guide layer when saving the needed pdfs, they are failing to do so. This means when the .ai (with the non printable layer) is saved to pdf, the guide layer as a hidden object is saved within the pdf. Upon printing at our printing facilities, the guide layer has been printed with disasterous results.
A possible solution we came up with was to use the ruler guides to create the guide layer. For this solution to work though, I need to be able to use different colours for different guides within the same document. Which we can't. We can only change all the guide colours and they are all the same colour.
Another idea would be to outline text indicating various printable and non-printable areas and making them into guides via View>guides>make guides, which works to an extent but looks messy, especially when viewing the full page and again, isn't particularly distinctive, leading back to having different guides in different colours.
I've come across another possible solution involving template layers. Viewing the resulting pdf seems fine and in all purposes it does what we need, except for when reopening the saved (not printed) pdf back in illustrator, the template layer is still there and I need it gone. The same way it would be if the .ai were printed to postscript and sent through distiller.
My ideal solution would be to have to ability to have the different coloured ruler guides in place throughout my document, but as I previously stated, all guides have to be the same colour and that's useless in this instance.
So, has anyone got any bright ideas. Coincidentally I need to create the same templates for both psd and indesign but I'll cross that bridge when I've figured this out.

Hey Mike, thanks for the response.
1. Not a chance, if, even when the process is described in great detail in an info pdf, available as info on the website (with screenshot instructions) and mentioned in the .ai file itself, they aren't even deleting the guide layer, then turning off 'Preserve illustrator editing capabilities' is kind of a stretch. Like I said, the folks these templates are to be designed for are not illustrator literate for the most part.
2. Not sure if this would work. I'd have to look into it.
3. Beyond my capabilities. I'll let you know if number 2 works.
One possible solution I've come up with uses the idea of a template layer always on top, with 'DELETE THIS LAYER' and screenshot of layers pallette and clear little red arrows etc. If I can the template layer to always remain on top, with their artwork layer underneath, they would have to toggle hide/unhide to view their artwork, and the reminder to remove the guide layer would be pretty much in their face. That's not a guarantee either though.
Personally, I think what I've been asked to achieve is a pretty hard task and honestly, I'm thinking there are no failsafe options.

Need help with creating template. Changes are not going through to index.html page

Hi all,
I have an issue with my template that I am creating and also a question about creating template Regions (Repeating and Editable).
Somehow my changes to my index.dwt are not changing my index.html page.
Also my other question is: For my top navigation bar and left navigation bar links, do I need to select and define each individual button or link as Repeating/Editable Region? or can I just select the whole navigation bar (the one on the top) etc...
Below are my steps for creating my template...I am kinda fairly new to using DW and this is my first attempt to making a template following the DW tutorial CD that came with DW CS3.
I appreciate any help with this...regards, Dano
-Open my index.html file
-File/save as template
-Save
-update links - yes
-Select Repeating and Editable Regions (I selected the whole top navigation bar and selected Repeating Region and Editable Region, same with the left side navigation links)
-File close all
-Open the index.dwt
-Save as and selected the index.html and chose to overide it..
When I make changes to my index.dwt it is not changing the index.html
I feel that I am missing some important steps here.....

I need to create a form on my website that viewers fill out and send to me on my iWeb created website. Is there a template or widget that can create fill-in forms?

I need to create a form that viewers can fill-in and send back to me from my website. I created the website in iWeb and would like a template or theme that has the form creator included. It there a widget? Sorry, I'm a novice.

If you want to raise your web design skill level above that of the average iWeb user, you can try creating your own. The actual form layout is fairly easy if you use CSS to style it since the amount of HTML is minimal now that table layouts are a thing of the past.
Here's some examples of forms created in iWeb...

The formmail.php script is probably the hardest part to get your head around and the example provided in the download on the above page uses a very simple one along with a formmail-thank.php.

Nowadays we need to consider mobile device users more and more so forms need to have the special inputs required to launch the various types of keyboard on these devices.
Here's an example of a form which responds to browser/device width. On mobile devices, the

For those of you who don't have a mobile device to test it on, this page also has illustrations of the various keyboard types and the alternative date pickers...

Hi kamfong,
Went to Settings where?
If you want to use your exisiting Apple ID on your iPad, you need to:
1. Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign out the new ID, and then sign on the old one
2. Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the iCloud account, and the sign back onto iCloud using the old ID
You still have not indindated why you are saying that using your old ID originally "didn't work". What do you mean by that? Did you get some sort of error when you tried to sign on with your exisiting Apple ID?
Cheers,

Yes yes indeed,
OMG,
I finally got it off,
I called IT Support
and this guy saw where it had doubled the size during the encryption, and showed me how to go in and delete,
and I was able to finally turn it off,
although it took 3 hours to do so.
but worth it.
so never will I again listen to anyone about that,
I'm done with the encryption of my machine.
I wasted a trip going to the Apple Store,
thank you.

Help need in creating DB objects programatically .

Hi All,
I have a case where i need to create a table in DB from ADF and need to insert/modify/delete their records in java code.
Is that possible to create an update-able view object from java code rather going with conventional declarative steps in ADF?
Regards,
Suresh kumar.k

ADF BC runtime doesn't give you any feature out for the box for creating DB objects, you may need to use standard JDBC API+ DDL. (btw, there may be design time API used by JDev for DB synch . however I'm not sure about the feasibility of using the same in your context) Next step may be building programmatic EO/VO. You can refer this blog post for the same - http://jobinesh.blogspot.com/2010/06/model-driven-approach-for-building.html

Hi deva,
write a class which implemets these methods
CLASS lcl_event_receiver DEFINITION.
PUBLIC SECTION.
    METHODS:
To handle the toolbar on alv
     handle_toolbar
       FOR EVENT toolbar OF cl_gui_alv_grid
          IMPORTING e_object e_interactive,
To handle the buttons on the alv grid
     handle_user_command
       FOR EVENT user_command OF cl_gui_alv_grid
       IMPORTING e_ucomm.
endclass.
Now Implement these methods.
CLASS lcl_event_receiver IMPLEMENTATION.
To handle the toolbar on alv
METHOD handle_toolbar.
   DATA ls_toolbar TYPE stb_button.
    CLEAR gs_toolbar.
    MOVE 3 TO gs_toolbar-butn_type.
    APPEND gs_toolbar TO e_object->mt_toolbar.
    CLEAR gs_toolbar.
    PERFORM icon_create USING 'ICON_INSERT_ROW' gs_toolbar-icon.
    MOVE text-010 TO gs_toolbar-function.
    MOVE text-012 TO gs_toolbar-quickinfo.
    MOVE ' ' TO gs_toolbar-disabled.
    APPEND gs_toolbar TO e_object->mt_toolbar.
    CLEAR gs_toolbar.
    PERFORM icon_create USING 'ICON_DELETE_ROW' gs_toolbar-icon.
    MOVE text-011 TO gs_toolbar-function.
    MOVE text-013 TO gs_toolbar-quickinfo.
    MOVE ' ' TO gs_toolbar-disabled.
    APPEND gs_toolbar TO e_object->mt_toolbar.
ENDMETHOD.
   METHOD handle_user_command.
In this form, check the function code(e_ucomm has the function code), based on that do the required action.
as i said yesterday(i.e for appending a row, deleting a row, modifying a row)
    PERFORM user_command USING e_ucomm.
ENDMETHOD
endclass.
Before calling the alv method, create a object of this class.
DATA :
      gref_event_receiver TYPE REF TO lcl_event_receiver,
      gv_tables_alv          TYPE REF TO cl_gui_alv_grid.
      CREATE OBJECT gref_event_receiver.
      SET HANDLER   gref_event_receiver->handle_user_command
                    FOR gv_tables_alv.
      SET HANDLER   gref_event_receiver->handle_toolbar
                    FOR gv_tables_alv.
check this program for event handling, it is the similar way
demo_abap_objects_events
Hope u understood this.
