Newb Question: Creating overlays for an image

I'm new to flash and am stuck on a project I'm working. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
Essentially I'm trying to create a webpage with an image of a
piece of furniture on one side of the page. On the other side
I'm trying to create some digital swatches to represent a
type of material that part of the furniture can have as an option.
What I'd like to do is set it up so that people can click on
the digital swatch and have the furniture image change so that
they can see what it would look like with that option.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Has anyone received this error, "Failed to create directory for PX images"

I recently migrated to Windows7. 98% of the migration went well. All of my pictures and Elements Catalog came over fine. I had to "reconnect" all of the pictures in the catalog due to new directory name, but it worked fairly well. Of the 11,000 entries synch'd with photoshop.com, 10,500 re-synch'd fine. However almost 500 are stuck with an error of "Failed to create directory for PX images". Can anyone help with how to resolve this issue? Note, I did try to remove the picture from the album and then re-add, but that didn't work.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
Thanks,
Jeff

What problems are you facing in deleting files from PS.com. Are you able to maintain a proper synced catalog now ? If possible please elaborate so that we can help.

Create Snapshot for Multiple Images

How would you like the feature to work?:
To have the ability to select more than one photo and create a snapshot that would apply to all selected images.
Why is this feature important to you?:
When using Sync.. to synchronize work such as spot removal on several similar images (such as bracketed exposures), it would be a great time saver to be able to select these several images and create the snapshot to apply to all of them at once... For example, this would be a benefit when removing dust spots. It would just save time.

Hello Bud,
See below In answer to your question for clarification of my new feature request in September or 2009.
The dynamic implementation of Lightroom has its upside and its downside. Its upside is that through the ability to reset edits and virtual copies, and create snapshots of edited images it is not necessary to do multiple saves to recover different editing effects. The downside is that if snapshots are not created before new edits are made on photos or photo sets it is time consuming and sometimes difficult recreate an exact set of previous edits.
I am a travel and event photographer. I normally edit large final sets (50 to 200 images) out of a shoot that may have thousands of images. Normally I do not do a final snapshot of each image until the entire set is edited. This is because on final review of the set I will frequently tweek individual images to bring them into balance with the set. When I am done with the full set I must return to each image and creat a snapshot that I title "Final Edit dd/mm/yyyy" Then if I return in the future and intentionally or unintentionally make a change to one of the images I do not lose the set edits.
It is time consuming to go back through the full set and make a snapshot of each image in the set and sometimes I forget or simply run out of time and never get back. For this reason It would be very valuable to select the entire set and click on snapshot, create the snapshot name indicated above or some creative set ID and automatically create a snapshot preserving the individual edits of each of the selected images with the same snapshot name.
Another benefit of this feature is that if the images in a set Included images from multiple directories and were not in a collection they could all be located by their snapshot name.
I believe that if this feature was implemented it would be used by many if not all professional photographers that use Lightroom to do the majority of their editing.

Create snapshots for many images?

After I have completed editing on a batch of photos, I would like to create a snapshot for each selected photo. If I just create a snapshot, one is created only for the current photo, not for all others. Is there a way to create a snapshot for every selected photo?

I edit a few hundred photos from a shoot. I will now release them to one person in that form. Then I will further work on some for artistic development, probably with some further work in LR and then on to PS CS3. I want in some way to "mark" the ones I have released so I can get back to the released form of an individual image if needed. I'd prefer to do that at the first release stage rather than having to remember to take a snapshot before doing any further work--as I might forget to do that. I thought a snapshot was the way to do that.

Create hyperlink for all images

Hello everyone,
I am new to scripting, but I am assuming my current task needs some scripting.
I have a catalog laid out in InDesign. It is about 250 pages and each page has about 10 image so there are about 2500 images. The way I have them laid out is each image is placed inside a frame. Now, I need to hyperlink each image to an external web site. For example, for an image whose name is (12345.jpg), the hyperlink will be "https://www.testabc.com/productdetails.aspx?itemnum=12345". Similarly if the next item is 67890, then the hyperlink would need to be "https://www.testabc.com/productdetails.aspx?itemnum=67890". All images are linked to a folder on the computer.
Can you please suggest how best to write and run this script. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I can't test the script at the moment, but looking at it, I do notice that the entire for loop is within a try-catch. That means that if it encounters an error, it stops processing any more graphics. There may be a good reason for this, but I think you could just move the try-catch into the for loop, so it can catch any individual linking error without stopping completely. Something like this:
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myGr = app.activeDocument.allGraphics;
alert(myGr.length)
    for(i=0; i<myGr.length; i++)
      try{
        var myGrName = String(myGr[i].itemLink.name);
        var mySplitName = myGrName.split(".")[0];
        app.select(myGr[i].parent)
        myHyperlinkPageItemSource = app.activeDocument.hyperlinkPageItemSources.add(app.selection[0])
        var myHyperlinkURLDestination = app.activeDocument.hyperlinkURLDestinations.add("https://www.testabc.com/productdetails.aspx?itemnum=" + String(mySplitName)));
        var myHyperlink = app.activeDocument.hyperlinks.add(myHyperlinkPageItemSource, myHyperlinkURLDestination, {name: "https://www.testabc.com/productdetails.aspx?itemnum=" + String(mySplitName)})
        } catch(e){}
alert("Process Completed")
The forum's syntax highlighting is giving me a hard time, but I would probably throw an "alert(myGrName)" into those catch brackets so you can begin to try to figure out where it's erroring out (if that is indeed the problem).
Another thought is that, if there's a chance of multiple images with the same number, you might want to have your hyperlinkURLDestination check for an already existing destination before adding a new one.

Create Placeholder for Rotating Image Link

Hello,
The other day I created some rotating banner ads on my site thanks to the fantastic help I received on this forum.
Once thing I notice on my site is that when the banner ads switch the spacing on the page shifts so that the text/jpgs that are below the ads bounces around.
I was wondering if anyone knows a way that I can create a placeholder to contain the banner ads so that the other content would stay put?
Thank you so much for any help that you can provide.
Glenn
My website is - www.glennbartley.com
The code I inserted is:
<a id="bannerid" href="photoworkshops/Workshops/Manitoba-Churchill.htm"><img src="naturephotography/Banner Ads/BannerAdd-Churchill2014.jpg" /></a>
<script language="JavaScript">

</script>

The anti-right click script you have is useless. If someone can see your images in their browser, they are already downloaded to their computer. Taking away the right click function will not stop them from taking the images if they are so inclined and it is supremely annoying. If you want to protect your photos, use a watermark that is difficult to remove from the image instead.
You have some errors in your code that are being caused by having things out of place. Run your page through the validator at http://validator.w3.org so you can clean those up.
As for the shifting issue, that is being caused by the container of the images going empty for a moment and shrinking it's height. Set the height of that container in the css to an appropriate number and it should stop.
Something like...
#bannerid {
height:50px;
Set it to whatever the height of the banners is and it should fix the problem.

[Newbie question]: create polygons from linestrings...

I need a good place to start using Oracle Spatial and Topology functionalities, so... my goal is this: I'm creating a table with SDO_GEOMETRY as linestrings; some of these linestrings are closed, and i need to build a topology and then extracts the polygon geometries build and create a new table with this polygons.
Here (http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B14256_01/sdo_topo_concepts.htm#i885918) i've read how to create a topology from spatial data, ut i'm unable to find how extract SDO_GEOMETRY elements like polygons from the topology itself...
Any suggestion? Thanks in advance :)

Great question! One of the member functions for the SDO_TOPO_GEOMETRY type is GET_GEOMETRY() which simply outputs a Topo geometry as an SDO_GEOMETRY. Hence, if you wanted to output SDO_GEOMETRY from a parcels feature you could do the following:
select a.feature.get_geometry() from parcels_poly a;
Hope this helps.

My 3.4.5 has ~ 35000 jpg masters. I have set aperture not to create previews on import and have ensured "maintain previews" is not ticked. Every time I start aperture it insists on creating previews for ~ 4300 images. Why?

Having had the previews created I selected all photos and "delete previews". It did this quickly and no more previews being created. Once aperture is closed and then re-opened aperture immediately sets about creating the previews for the same photos. I don't understand why this should be happening.
This is occuring on my Mackbook Air (Aug 2012) which has 256 GB storage. I am fast running out of space as I am using "Managed Masters". I intend to make the masters referenced by relocating them to an external HDD but before doing this would like to clear up this problem first. I keep my Vault on the external HDD and have Time Machine and Time Capsule. When I have relocated the masters to the external HDD I intend that TM backs the external HDD to the TC. I tink that I will use the second partition on the external HDD for Carbon Copy Cloner to back up the Mackbook Air.
Any help or advice warmly welcomed.

Frank
Many thanks for your input.
Following your advice I have selected all the projects individually and checked the status of Mantain Previews. Some were indeed marked up for Mantail Preview so I have unmarked them.
I have also selected Photos and deleted previews and also repeated this for My Projects.
Checking the Get Info for the Preview folder in Aperture Library in Finder this now tells me that I have zero bytes for 564 items.
Close and then reopen Aperture and it regenerates these564 previews in the blink of an eye. I haven't been able to locate these photos yet. I know there are about 120 in facebook and 10 in photostream but dont know where the rest are.
It seems the issue is not with Aperture but with myself and not understanding Aperture sufficiently well
Do you see the problem this way?

Newbie Question: Best Option for First Baseline?

I understand that in book design, it's important for the bottom line on the left-hand page to be in the same vertical position as the bottom line on the right-hand page. I've read that the way to do this is with Text Frame Options->Baseline Options->First Baseline Offset. I see the following options there:
Ascent
Cap Height
Leading
x Height
Fixed
Are these options all equally preferable for book design?
Thanks in advance to all for any thoughts or info.

Good question.
In my opinion (and there's 2 long shelves of books that I've designed
over the past few years sitting in the bookcase behind me), the best
choice is "fixed."
The main reason is this: any of the other choices can lead to subtle,
but significant misalignments -- and this can cause the page to be 1
line short, depending on the text that appears on the top line of the page.
Why? Because everything except "fixed" is dependent on the font that
happens to appear on the top line. So clearly, if you happen to have a
larger font in the middle of the book text (not just subheads -- perhaps
for some reason one word, or even one letter, is enlarged somewhere in
the book; or, if you've chosen "leading", then the leading might be
different for one character), and that letter happens to fall at the top
of the text frame, all the text on that page will not be aligning to the
baseline.
So let's say you fix that for the one page. But then there's a late edit
-- and that top line gets bumped to the second line on the page. Now
everything on that page is badly adjusted again, and the page has to be
fixed.
You might say, How often, in a regular book, is there a larger word in
the middle of a line? So here we come to the most insidious problem with
the other settings: italics.
Believe it or not, the x-height of an italic font is not necessarily
identical to the x-height of the companion roman font. It can be
slightly taller than the roman, even on well designed pro fonts. This is
a design decision of the font maker.
So, if you've aligned everything perfectly to the baseline grid, and set
your text frame first baseline option to "x-height", and you've made
sure that the depth of your text frame is a perfect multiple of your
baseline grid, what can happen is this: The first word on the page is
italics. So all the lines are imperceptibly shifted down a fraction
below the baseline grid. Therefore, the LAST line on the page will be
bumped off the page because there won't be quite enough room there, and
the result is that your page is one line short! And good luck finding
the cause of that (it took me ages first time because I never imagined
that the italics x-height was taller than the roman)! (Of course, now
I've told you the secret!)
And once again, if you have a late edit to make, you'll have to check
the entire book to see that no pages are inadvertently short.
And if you decide to be clever, and make the text frame (or margins)
just that little bit deeper to accommodate the necessary extra space for
italics at the top of the page, it will mean that your footnotes (if
there are any) won't be aligning perfectly to a regular line of text on
the facing page (admittedly by an almost negligible amount).
So what are the cons? Why not use "fixed"?
The biggest reason against that I know of is that for some reason, using
"fixed" disables the option of keeping any paragraph rules within the
text frame. Keeping a rule (or line) within the text frame can be a
useful way of making some text start lower down on the page (if you use
an invisible white rule). With "fixed", for some reason, this option is
unavailable.
Another reason against is that with "fixed", if an inline graphic
happens to fall at the top of the page, it will often end up floating
above the text frame.
But for books without graphics (and even with), I would recommend
"fixed" as the best, most predictable option.

Looking for a script that creates labels for linked image files in the layout

I'm working on a large book with over 650 images and I need to show the file names along with the images in layout for proofing reasons. Does anyone have a script for that does something like this? I'm working in INDD 6.

This is great— thank you! however you have to select all the image in order to generate the live caption. My file is about 320+ pages, any way to run live caption without having to select the files?

Newbie Question - Creating DVD from Premiere to Encore with 2 audio tracks

Hello and thanks for your time,
I'm pretty new to all this but seem to be getting the hang of things pretty well but one problem I'm having I can't seem to find an answer to.
In Premiere I am creating a dvd of a football game, i have the video with an audio track of the crowd and another audio track of the commentary. These are all edited together fine and work well. I then use the dynamic link to send the sequence to Encore and that's where the problem occurs.
I can't seem to get both audio tracks to appear in Encore? Any suggetions or tips on where I might find an answer?
cheers for the help and time
Ian

Ian,
This is not a cure to the issue, but is a workaround. It's the "old-fashioned" way that things were done before DL.
Export your Sequence as elemental streams, i.e. video-only and audio-only. Import your video-only file into Encore as a Timeline, and teh audio-only file as an Asset. From Project Panel, drag the audio to the appropriate timeline. Done.
Now, exactly what you choose for your Export and even how you do this will depend on your Project in PrPro and also your source Assets. For SD material, I'd choose DV-AVI Type II video-only (no multiplexing), and for the Audio 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV. If you have a version of PrPro prior to CS4, just Export Movie (settings above) for the Video and Export>Movie (or AME) for the Audio (settings above). Just make sure that the Export Video is checked for the DV-AVI, but the Export Audio is not. Change these two checkboxes for the Audio.
Now, for DL not working, as it should, what is the format of your source Audio? Do you have any Channel-mapping used? Does your Audio Mixer Panel show everything right there? Do you have one Audio Track either Muted, or Bypassed. Look in Audio Mixer, to make sure you do not have one Track Solo'ed.
Also, what version are you using, CS3, or CS4? Note: for CS4, you will use AME for the Exporting in the first part of the post.
Good luck,
Hunt

Newbie Question - Creating a table layout in a report

Post Author: TomBrowning
CA Forum: General
(Crystal Reports Version XI 11.0.0.2495 )
Hi,
I have created a table/grid in the report details section by using the "Outside Borders" tool to surround the report fields then moved them around in order to join them to each other in a row. This appears to show the data as if in a table/grid when viewed in preview; this is also fine when I print the report out. However if I export to a PDF using the "Export Report" tool; the table is displayed with white space between the rows, breaking the table up.
I'm sure there must be a better way of creating a table that would get around this problem and I just can't see it for looking?
Thanks for your help

Hey Tom,
Try rt clicking on "Details"/"Section Expert" and click on "Format Multiple Columns".
Keep the boxes you made around the fields as they'll be duplicated too. Play around with

Newbie Question, OR statement for GET requests

I apologize but I am not sure what to google to get the information I need. Typing OR is google in useless :(.
Is there a way to use OR statements in HTTP requests? For example, I am making a call to a web service like this:
http://services.myintranet.net/program?xml=1&name=von+w
Is there a way to specify an alternative for name, like
http://services.myintranet.net/program?xml=1&name=von+wORKEYWORDname=w+von

If I understand you well: there is no predefined OR token in the query string the HTTP protocol would be aware of.
You have to choose the logical operator which is expected by the service processing your URL. This could be simply "OR" or the escaped sequence of "||" or even a blank - which would escape to "+" - when specified this way.
Search Engines as Google use the following:
http://...?as_q=client+server&... is to look for pages with words "client" and "server"
http://...?...&as_oq=client+server&... is to look for pages with words "client" or "server"
So the small "o" mkes the difference and is interpreted at server side.

Newbie Question -- Simultaneous Execution for Labview/DAQ

Hey, I am an undergrad student who is fairly new to labview and control systems and I am working on a senior project. I am wanting to use labview to simultaneously control two separate machines. Both machines would send back data to be saved to a file. They would both be connected to a NI DAQ(SC-2345). Is this reasonably attainable? Will labview and/or the DAQ have problems running two machines simultaneously? I would love any suggestions. Thanks

Let me see if I have your setup pictured correctly. You have 1 PC, 1 DAQ card that is connected to the SC-2345 signal conditioning carrier. Do those modules, you have two different physical machines you want to control. Am I correct?
Do you want to have one LabVIEW application controlling both machines independently? Or two different LabVIEW applications each controlling one machine?
Your one constraint is that since there is only one DAQ card, all DAQ functions have to be handled at a single point of code otherwise you'll get errors about resource conflicts. In other words, you can't have two separate programs eaching trying to work with a single DAQ card.
So you can have a single point of interface with the DAQ card and use architectures such as Producer/Consumer to pass messages back and forth from your other parts of the code. The other parts of the code can be two independent loops that handle the machine control logic for each machine.
The easiest to program would be to have on application that handles both machines. It would have 3 loops, two loops where each loop is for logic for each machine, and one loop that handles the DAQ communication.
If you want to have two separate applications, you can do that as well where each application handles the machine logic and a third background application handles the DAQ communication. It just needs a little bit more sophisticated communication scheme to pass data between the different applications.
