Postage stamp effect from the Show Me flash movie on Elements home page

The Elements home page on adobe.com has a little flash movie labeled Show Me that demos some of the nifty new features of version 4.0. In the Enhance section of this movie, right after the liquify/stained glass demo, the picture is cropped using a postage stamp effect. The demo seems to indicate that the selection and cropping are done at the same time, with whatever tool was used. I found a post about using the Custom Shape Tool's Objects.Stamp1/2 shape to create a postage stamp effect, but this demo shows it to be much simpler.
Any ideas on which tool was used in this demo movie?
Thanks!
Gary

From the video it looks like they are using the postage stamp custom shape as the base of a clipping group (the family group photo is on a layer above a blank layer and is grouped with it -- when the lower layer filled with a black postage stamp custom shape the portions of the grouped layer that intersect the shape become visible). I don't have PSE4, so I can't say what they are doing for sure.

  • When the browser opens, I want to be able to open all my open tabs from the last session or have a blank home page if there weren't any tabs to reopen. How do I set the homepage to do that?

    When Firefox starts up I would rather have a blank page for the homepage if I didn't have any tabs from my previous session to open up. There doesn't seem to be an option for this. The choice is to either reopen last session tabs OR blank page but does not seem to allow for "if no last session tabs, then open blank page" If it does, then please tell me how.

    It would seem if your choose "Show my windows and tabs from last time" '''''and''''',
    *when you last closed Firefox, you had no web site open (just a blank tab), that it would open just that blank tab
    *when you last closed Firefox, you had one or more tabs/web site open, that would allow you to "Restore Previous Session"
    #Have you tried that?
    #If so, what is happening in each circumstance when you reopen Firefox?
    '''Restore Previous Session'''<br />
    Open tabs are automatically saved when closing Firefox beginning in Firefox 4. To open your last session, after Firefox starts, click History > Restore Previous Session. For this to work

  • I'm trying to open sound effects from the recource page and there's no waveform

    I'm trying to open sound effects from the recource page and there's no waveform

    What version of Audition are you talking about?  Going from memory, there was a change to how things worked (starting at CS6 maybe?) from their being a "resource centre" to a "Download sound effects and more" link on the help menu.  Exactly where that leaves owners of earlier versions would, I think, be a question for Adobe, not a user forum (though there are some pretty clever people who visit here.

  • It won't let me drag an effect from the browser all of a sudden. I have always been able to do before. I am using effects from favorites bin and when I try to drag it, it won't move. I have never had this problem before. Please help.

    It won't let me drag an effect from the browser all of a sudden. I have always been able to do before. I am using effects from favorites bin and when I try to drag it to the timeline, it won't move. I have never had this problem before. Please help.
    P.S. I have tried other effects including transitions and it still won't let me drag.

    Wow that was really quick, thank you so much.  Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it.  I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names.  isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
    So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
    either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

  • Export straight from iMovie project to Flash movie..

    Hi there,
    Is there any way to export straight from iMovie to a Flash movie?
    Groet! Rick

    I created a bunch of 'enhanced podcasts" using GarageBand and uploaded them to www.audioblog.com where these files apparently were encoded with Flash, which I then published on my website at http://www.biom.net/index.php/teahouse/permalink/stayinghealthy_insummer/ using Audioblog's code.
    Now I want to use the freeware FLASH VIDEO PLAYER 2.4 from http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=FlashVideoPlayer.
    When I downloaded my GarageBand-created enhanced podcasts from Audioblog they came down as .mov files which I need to convert to .flv to use with Flash Video Player 2.4.
    Any suggestions for converting these .mov files to .flv so I can'self-publish' them on my website?
    Thanks.

    I recently bought, from the original website of Adobe, Photoshop elements 13. However, when I go with my mouse pointer over the menu, It hangs or he works very slow. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it? I have already downloaded updates, both from Adobe and Windows. I have a new pc with window 8.1.

    It could be a coincidence, but I rebooted the machine and (knock on wood) PSE13 seems to be working ok.

  • How to query from the xml table a single, specified element.

    I'm quite new in Xml Db. Pleas, can anybody tell me how to query from the xml table below a single element (i.e. the element 'rapportoparentela = NIPOTE' related to the element 'codicefiscale = CRRVNC76R52G337R', or the element 'rapportoparentela = FIGLIO' related to the element 'codicefiscale = CRRRNT51L23G337Q')?

    Regards.
    Piero

    Piero,
    you can add the condition "CRRVNC76R52G337R" to your xpath-expression like:
    SELECT extractValue(value(t),'/rapportoparentela')
    FROM NF_XMLT x
    ,TABLE ( xmlsequence (extract(value(X),'/dati/famigliare[rapportoparentela="CRRVNC76R52G337R"]'))) tto select only those famigliare-elements that have a child-element rapportoparentela with value "CRRVNC76R52G337R".
    When you stored your XML in an XMLType column in the table, i think the following queries are better:
    SELECT extractValue(x.your_XMLType_column,'/dati/famigliare/rapportoparentela')
    FROM NF_XMLT x
    WHERE extractValue(x.your_XMLType_column,'/dati/famigliare/codicefiscale')
    = 'CRRVNC76R52G337R'or
    SELECT extractValue(x.your_XMLType_column,'/dati/famigliare/rapportoparentela')
    FROM NF_XMLT x
    WHERE existsNode(x.your_XMLType_column,'/dati/famigliare[codicefiscale="CRRVNC76R52G337R"]')
    != 0

  • I have just changed to Firefox from IE. When i pull up my home page which is the BBC.co.uk I have always to reset my local region as it always defaults to London. I didn't have this problem with IE. Can you please supply a solution, thank you

    I have just changed to Firefox from IE. When i pull up my home page which is the BBC.co.uk I have always to reset my local region as it always defaults to London. I didn't have this problem with IE. Can you please supply a solution.

    I fixed it!!! Following advice from similar posts, I searched the hard drive for "sessionrestore.js" in my Firefox Profiles folder (you'll need to enable viewing of hidden files in Windows Explorer (Tools > Folder Options > View (then select Hidden files option) then Apply to all folders) to do this). I then shut down Firefox, deleted the file and restarted - my home page was correct and it didn't try to open my old session! Some other posts suggested deleting everything called "sessionrestore" in that folder, but I didn't need to.

    The error message "No more virtual tiles can be allocated" appears when I try to use the effects in the quick editing mode in my Elements 13. The baton OK has to be pressed several times for loading all effect patterns. The error returns when selecting the particular pattern.
    The problem does not appear, if PH Elements 13 is executed in the administrator mode.
    The available computer resources are rather  large enough: CPU INTEL i7 4 cores,  16GB RAM, 1TB HDD + 32GB SSD, Windows 8.1.
    Please, advice how to solve this problem? Maybe, there is patch or updating available?

    Dear n_pane,
    Thank you for the quick answer. In the meantime I found other way to pass by the problem. I increased the cache level up to the maximum value 8.
    The errors reported as "No more virtual tiles can be allocated" vanish, but I still do not understand, why PSE 13 cannot work properly by the lower cache levels, having available maximum resources it needed (10443 MB RAM and 26.53GB SSD space for scratches), or cannot collaborate with the fast SSDs properly.
    I wish you all the best in the New Year 2015!

  • How do I remove the drop shadow from the value labes on my bar chart in Pages?

    How do I remove the drop shadow from the value labes on my bar chart in Pages?

    As far as I know, you must use brute force in the index.xml file describing the document.
    Search the descriptor of your values labels
    It starts with : <sf:SFCBarSeriesValueParagraphStyleProperty>
    and delete the three items describing the shadow.
    I highlighted it with red.

  • I have tried all suggestions to have my home page in english. All setting show english, but not only my home page shows me in the Nederlands, but others too.

    I have checked all my settings, and they are correct, but my home page (yahoo) has me in the Nederlands using their language. Not english. I have to click the USA tab several times to bring up the USA. Then when I go to another website occasionally it returns to the foreign language. What can I do?

    Solved the problem for now by changing my home page. Thanks to you all
