Photoshop won't select the internal path

having outlined an image i then try and select the path to remove the background...however photoshop only recognises that there is an outside path - it doesn't select the complete internal path that has been created.
and when placing in InDesign - again the program only recognises the clipping path as being the outside line and not the same path in the middle of the picture?

Paths? Why? ID can work with native PS transparencies and layer masks. That aside, make sure you are defining the path modes correctly in the top toolbar or while creating them (Alt to subtract, Shift to Add, Alt+Shift to intersect).

Hi I have CS5 and a canon 600D. Photoshop won't convert the files

Hi I have CS5 and a canon 600D. When I shoot in RAW photoshop won't read my files unless I convert them through DNG converter. This is time consuming and takes up a lot of space and I was wondering if there is a shortcut to converting the files. Also I have just become a full time student studying photography. I would like to purchase a student package so that i can use CC which is the same programme a at university. Which is the best and cheapest way to do this? I know that we are being offered a package in November, but I need to upgrade sooner really.

Hi Frankiestone,
I would advice you to purchase the Photography plan which consists of both Lightroom and Photoshop.
Please refer to below link for pricing
https://creative.adobe.com/plans
When you have the latest version of the products you will have access to camera raw version 8.6 and you would be easily able to import the RAW files from Cannon 600D with converting them.
Thanks

Select the Motion Path of a PageItem

Does anyone know a way to select (or access) the Motion Path of a PageItem with animation applied using ExtendScript?
I know it appears as a graphic line in the document, but I'm wondering if there's any connection between the animated item and the graphic line that represents the motion path.
item.animationSettings.motionPath (and motionPathPoints) give the relative numbers, but I'd like to get my hands on the actual InDesign object. Any ideas?

I'm not sure if you can do this from a script. From C++, you have. IAnimationFacade.h
/** Given an interface for an item with a motion path, create a new page item from the motion path points and select it.
@param pageItemRef is the UIDRef of the page item to created a motion path item from.
@return the UIDRef of the created item.
@see SetPageItemAnimationMotionPath
virtual UIDRef CreateAnimationMotionPathPageItem(const UIDRef& pageItemRef) = 0;

Can photoshop record me selecting the background?

Hi
I have 100+ images that I need to open up and select the background and remove it and hopefully I can setup a recording action and run a batch to process them all. All of the images have a solid magenta background color (not sure if that will help come up with a solution or not). R:255 G:0 B:255
Does anyone know how I can do this?

If you have a one layer image you first have to select the background before eliminating it. Whether you can do this by uning a color selection tool depends on the images and how defined the edges are, and your degreee of perfection. Experiment on one image before tackling the larger problem.

MPxIO, traffic manager, select the active path

I have one lun with 2 paths, and I use MPxIO without loadBallance,.
NOTE: I have v240 server with solaris 10 the latest that connected to the SAN.
Two Question :
1. How I can see which of the paths is the active path?
2. Is the MPxIO can understand which path(from 2 paths to the lun) is the path througth the default controller, and make this path to e the active path?
thanks

For that array, Hitachi needs to provide a specific string to enter into the scsi_vhci.conf file, telling MPXIO how to deal with that array.
It should be in the array Release Notes or Install Guide, along with any particular levels of microcode and array port settings needed. The scsi_vhci.conf entry will provide the string that a host scsi inquiry will return, along with the specific scsi options that the OS will need to talk to the array using multi pathing. Once those changes are done usually a boot -r will be required.
Until that is done, Solaris will see both paths to the array as seperate and distinct arrays, so no multi pathing will be done.

Hi,
You can use the DIRECTORY_EXIST method for both, PC frontend and application server, you will need to know the fully qualified name of the appilication server on your network in order for it to work.
Please check this sample code.
report ztest.
type-pools: abap.
data: rc type abap_bool.
data: dir type string.
parameters: p_file type localfile default 'C:'.
start-of-selection.
dir = p_file.
call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_exist
    exporting
      directory            = dir
    receiving
      result               = rc
    exceptions
      cntl_error           = 1
      error_no_gui         = 2
      wrong_parameter      = 3
      not_supported_by_gui = 4
      others               = 5.
if rc = 'X'.
     write:/ 'The directory does exist'.
   else.
     write:/ 'The directory does not exist'.

Firefox won't recognize the "file://path" construct.

How would I code a link in source code so that I can link to a file on a local server? The standard "file://path" or label or label constructs are recognized by IE but not Firefox. Is there a coding that most browsers will recognize? (File is located on an office server.)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I first tried using this construct for a lonk.

Motion Paths won't display the whole path!

You see the sun in the middle of the frame, the path is only shown for about 30 sec of movement but the path actually goes from bottom right all the way to top left over 3 min. It is impossible to adjust the curve of the path with this limitation, does anyone know why AE is doing this?

Powerbook won't see the internal hard disk drive

I'm scratching my head with this one...
Seemed to me that my HDD had died, when I booted the computer I got a grey screen. I tried using Firewire Target Disk but the other computer connected didn't see any drive pop up, and when I booted from the installer CD the HDD did not show up in Disk Utility.
So I bought a new HDD and replaced it, but the problem was the same. I took what I thought was my dead HDD and put it in a 12" PB and it booted fine (and I was able to get my data off it that I'd thought I'd lost).
The problem I now have is that I don't know the reason why the HDD is not working. I ran the Apple Hardware test and the PB passed in both the basic and extended tests. The software reported that the mass storage (I presume that is the HDD) passed. I don't understand how it can pass when the HDD doesn't show up at all.
I'm hoping the problem might be the HDD ribbon connecting cable as that would be a 10 quid replacement, but with no feedback from the hardware test I haven't a clue.
Has anyone else encountered something like this and can they give me suggestions?

Looks like your HD cable is the problem.
Apple hardware test will not tell you that the problem is your HD ribbon cable. But from my past experience with this kind of problem, I could tell you that most likely your problem located in the HD ribbon cable.
You've tried your HD in another unit and it is working fine and by process of elimination then the HD cable is next to be tried and if after you replaced hd cable the problem still persist then you can tell that the culprit is the logic board.

Direct selection tool - how not to move the form/path?

This thing keeps me working my stress ball: when I touch a path with the white arrow I am always first in a mode where the path can be moved. But I want to move a nod or handle - is there a place where I can set this tool to never move or or to never select the whole path? I have the normal selection tool for that! I think I oversee something. Thank you!

orangestuff,
Whichever way it works in each version should be consistent. If not, it may be time for a preference corruption removal, see the hint Move the folder here: http://www.bugge.com/Family-and-friends/Illy/illy.html
This may be a reversible test to see whether you are forced to use older ways in newer versions.

How to change the internal order type when it has been created?

There is an internal order, when it being created, the user chose the incorrect order type and save it. but the internal order number is useful. so we just want to change the order type or delete the order to release the number. so can you give me some solutions to solve it. I can not find the way neither change the order type nor delete it. thanks very much.

You are unable to change the internal order type once an internal order has been created, however you can delete the IO if there haven't been any postings made.
In change mode (tcode KO02), go into the internal order. Go into the following menu: Edit > Deletion Flag > Set. Before you exit the IO, save the master record.
Depending upon your archiving settings, you should then be able to select the menu path: Edit > Set Deletion Indicator.
If the IO isn't deleted, you can "clobber" it by going into the IMG and deleting the IO using the function "Delete Test Data". This should only be done by a technical person to ensure that a mass-delete doesn't occur.
Please note that if the IO was an internally assigned number, you might just want to block it and re-use it later.
Hope this helps.

To select a file path?

Hi all!
Currently I want to allow user to select the file path using those file dialog like JFileChooser/FileDialog... So that there's an input field that accepts a file name... Then another text field which will display the path that the user chose... I need to do that separately to write a .wav file... How do I do it?
I tried using JFileChooser and set this... (.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);) It only shows the directories, yes... But if I open a directory... without anymore directories in it... When I click on the "OK" button... It does not allow me to go on...

CS4 Select all compound paths?

Hi all,
There was a fab plug in set by Rick Johnson/Graffix called Select Menu. It is not yet updated for CS4.
The only function from the set I truly need is the ability to select all compound paths. Just wondering if it is possible to do this with a script? I recently found a javascript to close all open paths, so that got me thinking there may be a way to select the compound paths with a script as well...
The nice thing about scripts is they still seem to work even after a program upgrade. All my little applescripts are still working fine but my plugins are DOA in CS4. So I am thinking it would be great to have functions I depend on every day in script form.
I also wondered if there is a way to call the script with a speakable items command, which I guess would mean creating an action to run the script that I could then assign to a function key...?
So far I have not found a way to call a script in Illustrator using a speakable item.
I have near zero scripting experience so apologies if this is an annoying stupid newbie question. I have RSI issues and need to do most of my work via voice commands... it can be challenging to figure out how to do these things since my expertise is in graphics, not programming.
Thanks for any swift kicks in the right direction!!

Hi,Thanks!!
This does work but on a complex document it is very slow as it seems to be redrawing all the compound paths? It worked fine on a simple file but when I tried it on the kind of complex file I would actually use it on it has Illustrator hung up with a spinning beach ball....
The Graphix plug in to select all compound paths worked instantaneously. Is there a different way to write this that would not be as processor intensive?
Ah, the beachball just stopped spinning and all the correct paths are indeed selected...

Unable to select endpoint or path

I am using Illustrator CS5. I drew a vector image with three layers multiple paths in each. I wanted to go in and smooth out some of the segments I had in there but I am not able to select endpoints or handles. I can go around the edge and it will tell me "xPath" or "Endpoint" I can move the entire shape or resize it but am unable to grab the endpoint to change the angle of it. Also when I go to select it all with the Ctrl+A the bounding box appears for a brief moment and then dissapears again.

So you can move the entire shape, but cannot grab the endpoint.
Try copying and pasting in front into new document. You should have an easier time finding out what the problem is if you can solo the object. You may have another path or point directly on top of this.
Or you can select the entire path you want to modify, select inverse, lock or hide that.
