Preview: shadows under rectangles

Anyone know how to remove shadows under rectangles in Preview?

If you are running Mountain Lion, and you're trying to block out text...
1.  Use Tools -> Annotate -> Text to create a text box.
2.  Create a box by dragging your mouse across the screen.
3.  Open up Characters (Option-Cmd-T).
4.  In the search pane on the upper-right hand corner, type "FULL BLOCK"
5.  Under "Unicode Name" you should see this: █
6.  Drag as many as needed into your text box.
From there, I trust that you know how to change the color and the font size.
(A SHORTCUT: Create your text box and copy this square █ into it.  Then play with the color & the font size.)

  • Iam not able to view preview data under preview tab in BI 7

    Dear One's
    Can any one kindly reason out the occurance of my problem ?
    Iam not able to view preview data under preview tab in BI 7 even the file format is CSV and no. of rows to be ignored is 1 and data separator is "," & escape sign is ";"
    The error was some thing like " infoobject MAT_IDMAT_NAME_MAT_TYPE is not corelated"
    Though I was given seperated the columns like MAT_ID & MAT_NAME & MAT_TYPE
    Thanks in advance,
    Raj

    Hi Raj,
    If it is CSV, you can make corections data source itself.Once you check the fields entered in the data source with your csv file, because there may be some mismatching between the file you loaded and data source.Enter thre fields in data source as per your file.And check the line to be displayed option, when you clicking on preview.
    If you still getting problem, let me know.

  • Having a problem: Placing image or putting drop shadow on rectangle causing entire page to lighten up.

    I don't know how to word this properly, so I'm sorry if I'm doing this all wrong! I'm having a problem with my document in indesign. I have placed a jped image on the page to serve as the background image. I did this on the master page. I first noticed this problem when I was trying to put a .psd image onto the page. When I did, it would cause the entire page to dramatically brighten! I finally gave up and moved on, and now I ran into the problem again when I created a new rectangle box. I put a drop shadow effect on the box and when I did this, it also made the entire page lighten up. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem??
    Thanks so much!

    Whenever you add a transparency effect such as drop shadow over another image, especially a grayscale image, InDesign changes how the page is rendered to reflect what it will look like when printed. As I understand it, nothing has changed but the display. Choose View > Overprint Preview to avoid such surprises and get a more accurate representation of what you'll see when printed when colors are separated. If your document is going to be output to PDF or SWF, choose Edit > Transparency Blend Space > Document RGB instead of Document CMYK.

  • Preview on Mavericks - Rectangle Tool Background on PDF broken?

    While in preview I try to create a rectangle with a transparent background, but the transparancy doesn't seem to have any effect.
    This seems to only be an issue when I edit PDF's. It works fine in PNG.
    Above 50% it's always a solid color.
    Below 50% it disappears.
    Anyone know why this is happening or is this a bug in preview?

    It seems to do the same thing on mine and I am running OS X Mavericks. I haven't tried in an earlier version though so I don't know whether it's specific to OS X Mavericks or not.

  • Lightroom 5 ICC profiles clipped shadows under OSX

    Hi, I've just found a really bad issue occurring in Lr 5 (but also in all other Lightroom versions) under Mac OSX 10.9 with a calibrated monitor: dark shadows (from a value of 20 to 0) are all clipped (pure black with no detail and no textures) while the histogram remains ok, indicating NO clipped shadows at all. This issue afflics also ACR.
    Photoshop for now is the only software under MAC that reproduces dark shadows correctly: Library Module shows a bit darker and shifted shadows than Ps but acceptable, Develop Module is really bad showing brutally clipped shadows (but you work in the Develop Module right?!).
    The same problem occurred also in OSX 10.8 but it was related only to LUT profiles, creating a Matrix based profile problems were solved.
    Now the issue occurs with both Matrix and LUT profiles, v2 and v4. There's no apparent way to make Lr working right.
    Under Windows no problems at all: Bridge, Photoshop, ACR, Lr (Library Module and Develop Module) show the same correct NOT clipped shadows.
    I tested 8 different Mac running 10.9 with different GPU, different monitors, different profiling Softwares (Color Eyes Display Pro, Eizo Color Navigator, BasICC Color, i1 Profiler). Same results.
    I tried to change the gamma value (2.2, sRGB, L*) problems remain. I tried to change ICC version (v2, v4) problems reamain. I tried to change profile type (LUT, MATRIX) problems remain.
    How can a photographer work professionally on RAW images if shadows are bad reproduced?
    Why Photoshop can reproduce shadows correctly while Lr isn't able to do that?
    Why this happens only on a Mac enviroment?
    Is Lr based on ColorSync (that can't handle profiles correctly) while Ps isn't (because it can handle and it has no problem)?
    Please Adobe, FIX IT for all professional photographers, we can’t use Lr for serious works under Mac.

    There are numerous posts concerning display issues after upgrading to Mavericks OS X 10.9 (see below). After reading these posts it appears Apple has done something to the graphics drivers that raises the color saturation level and increases contrast. Why LR has this issue and PS doesn't is still a mystery. My guess is that PS isn't affected because it's using Open GL for creating the display output data (LR does not use Open GL). It's pretty clear to me this is an Apple OS X issue and not LR.

    "Basically, the sRGB spec is no longer sRGB, and colour managed applications that use ColorSync are completely hosed. Almost everything is more saturated then it should be. Towers of bug reports have been filed on this alone and absolutely nobody has received a response from Apple, which makes me think it's some retarded "stylistic choice" of theirs to literally try and make the OS "look better" (it doesn't)."

    "A lot of icons in and throughout Mavericks (including icons in the Finder and icons in System Preferences) are rendering "darker" then normal. You can actually screenshot this and it'll show up. I've attached an example of this from the iTunes icon- 10.9 is on the right, 10.8 is on the left."

    "Yes, they have adjusted the default saturation level. This seems hard coded as but I actually prefer it as it makes thing "pop" more."

  • Preview Hangs under Lion

    Anyone else experiencing an issue with PREVIEW hanging and not responding after opening a PDF after Lion install?  It will only stay active for a few seconds and then hang.  I usually have to click on another app or desktop to force quit the PREVIEW program.  I checked for updates and found none.

    Hey Leroydouglas - I was reading some other threads on preview and appears to be a permissions issue.  See this fix from a user called Silvertoes
    The problem is a Permissions problem. All you have to do is:
    1. Right click on the root /Library Folder and selct 'Get Info'
    2. Unlock the pad lock in the lower right hand corner.
    3. Click on the + symbol to add a user.
    4. When prompt add the 'root user'.
    5. Give the root user Read/Write privaledges.
    6. Lock the pad lock and open Preview.
    This worked for me and I hope it works for you to!

  • Preview operation under mountain lion

    Have just upgraded my MacBook Pro and find that I can no longer use Preview to convert my Grabbed images. Upto now I've grabbed an image, which can only be saved as a TIFF, then opened it in Preview, edited it maybe, and then saved it as a jpg. This option does not seem to be there any more. Any suggestions?

    I just tried it - it seems to work. 
    You are using the File > Export... menu item?

  • CS4: Clone tool cursor throws shadow under cursor

    Well, it's not really a shadow. It appears to be a sample of where I OPTION-CLICK. All good and fine and I guess it must be thought of as an improvement, but for me it makes the clone tool unworkable because the 'shadow' shadows my clone cursor everywhere, blocking out what's underneath so I can't see what I want to select and where I want to clone to.
    Q: How do I turn off the shadow?

    Tool settings are always saved after restart, and this one is no exception.
    Yes its a useful feature for certain types of work, but it probably shouldn't be the default. There should also be a check box in the Options Bar for this, and maybe a keyboard shortcut toggle also. On high res files it slows things down quite a lot.

    I realize that it probably nothing, but I have been having issues as of late with my macbook pro, so I thought I would see if anyone had any suggestions.

    No 64 bits version for PSE10. I think You'd better start a new discussion with more details about your printing problems.

  • Preview under 10.7 has broken "save" function.

    1- Every time you make a change to the name or the file format, the location you have selected reverts back to "Desktop."
    2- Should you happen to change the name from "untitled. png" to "something.png" and then change the format to JPEG... the name reverts back to "Untitled."
    3- Also, Preview no longer "remembers" where you last saved a file... but ALWAYS reverts back to Desktop .... even with two successive Saves !!
    All 3 of these actions are quite different from the way Preview worked under Snow Leopard.

    I have a fix of sorts - works with OD users where the directory is on another machine. The problem does seem to affect a number of users BTW, with setups that were working fine suddenly ceasing to honor ACL settings, meaning that permissions are devolved to POSIX settings, which only allow limited inheritance.
    I have an OD group with 20 members, let's call that Production. It's ACL is being ignored for AFP on OS X 10.7.3 Server, but individual user ACL's from the OD are honored. Local user and group ACL's are honoured also.
    So I have created a local group called Prod_Users, using Server Manager. To that local group I have added my OD group mentioned above (since groups can be nested).
    I have then added this new local Prod_Users group to my shares as an ACL, giving it the required permissions include inheritance. This is best done by going to the Hardware -> Storage section of Server Manager, as there is a good deal more granularity available.
    This ACL is honored correctly, so obviating the need to fiddle with POSIX settings. Lets's hope a fix is forthcoming so we don't need these workarounds.
    Note - adding multiple OD groups to the local group works also.

  • Lookup expression is not working when I am using with in the rectangle box in SSRS

    I have two datasets with common member is ProgramID.
    I have followed the below steps,
    1. Added one table  (2x2) and mapped this table to dataset1. After that I have removed top row.                                               
    That means I am maintaing only  data row.
    2. Added group to the table (ProgramID). Now the programid is sitting at cell#(1,1) and  cell#(1,2) is blank
    3. I have verified the report with preview and able to see the data for my all programs. I have 5 programs
    4. my plan is adding chart and matrix reports to cell# (1,2). If I am adding chart/matrix to the cell#(1,2) then we can't contol the  cell alignments in terms of height x width.
     To resolve that problem, I have added one rectangle control to the cell#(1,2) then I have added my chart and matrix report
    5. After completing the report, I have verified with preview and able to see the reports (chart/matrix) for all my 5 programs by page wise (note: I have provided page break before for my rectangle)
    6. Till this point, I have no issues
    7. Now, I have added one more row under the group. so, we have our main table (2x2). Becuase of programId group we can only see 3 cells in total table  (cell# (1,1) =ProgramId  cell#(1,2)=chart and matix reports under rectangle box; cell#(2,1)=already
    merged with ProgramID group; cell#(2,2)= planned to add one more rectanlge and add two reports (chart and matrix)
    8. Now, i have added rectangle to cell#(2,2) then added chart and matrix reports within the rectangle.
    9. cell#(2,2) reports are needs to extract the data from dataset-2. Here we have common member is ProgramID (ds-1,ds-2)
    10. First I have tested for matrix report by adding lookup expression
          Matrix report (2x2)
         row-1: Cell(1,1)= Gender report heading ; cell(1,2)=Month  (column group)
         Note: month is also common member in both the datasets. 
         row-2: cell(2,1)--  =Lookup(Programid.value, Programid.value,Gender.value,"Dataset2")  (Gender data is Male and Female)
                    Cell(2,2) -- empty for now
     11. I have tried to preview the report and able to see the report without any issues and below are observations
            main Table (2 x2)
             Cell# (1,1)  = ProgramID --Returning all 5 programs properly
             Cell# (1,2)  = Dataset1 related report (chart and matrix reports under rectangle) -- able to see without any issues
             Cell#(2,1)  = We already know this is merged cell. i.e menas ProgramID dispalying
              Cell#(2,2)= Only Male record is dispalying in the matrix report which is under rectanlge (here we have applied Lookup expression.
    Note: male is the first record from the database and Female is the second record
    Also, observed that Cell#(2,2) matrix report is unable to display the gender count information when I have provided count value expression in the cell(2,2) within the matrix and the expression I have uses is
      = sum(Lookup(ProgramId.value,ProgramId.value,GenderCOunt.value,"Dataset2"))
    Please ask me if I am unable to explain or lengthy explain.
    Point : Why the lookup expression is giving the first record only (in case of gender #(male, female) and why it is unable to give the gendercount.  Gendercount cell is totally blank.
    Please help me.
    Kishore.

    Hi Kishore,
    I have tested the issue step by step by following you description, while the first issue works well in my local environment. Based on my research, this can be caused by the lookup expression or it indeed return Male value based on the logic. If you use the
    expression below, it will indeed only return the Male record. So please try to double-check the record in the two datasets and the expression in your environment:
    =lookup(first(Fields!ProgramID.Value,"DataSet1"),Fields!ProgramID.Value,Fields!Gender.Value,"DataSet2")
    As to the second issue, please try to use the following expression:
    =Count(Lookup(fields!ProgramID.value,fields!ProgramID.value,fields!Gender.value,"DataSet2"))
    Besides, if this issue still exist, in order to trouble shoot this issue more efficiently, could you please post both the .rdl  file with all the size properties to us by the following E-mail address?  It is benefit for us to do further analysis.

  • AE CS5 crash when cast shadows turned on?

    System.
    i7 @2.8ghz
    9gb ddr3
    2x 1tb HDD
    ati 5770
    Adobe Master Collection CS5
    I was finishing up a 3d product box in AE and once I turned on "cast shadows" under material options, AE crashes. Then when I open the project, if I try to do anything with the layers or timeline, it crashes. The error makes no sense to me, unless the 2nd part is irrelevant.
    first I get
    After effects error: crash occurred while invoking rendering plug-in "AE_OpenGL"
    Then
    after effects error: Crash in progress. last logged message was <8852) <ASL.ResourceUtils.GetLanguageIDFromRegistry> <0> Unable to obtain the User 'Language' registry key at: Software\Adobe\AfterEffects\ defaulting to 'en_US'.
    If I delete the layers or turn off "cast shadows" everything works fine.
    Any ideas? This is the ONLY time I have had AE crash on my system.

    Have you installed the most recent updates?
    Do you have OpenGL rendering enabled for previews? If so, turn it off. (See this page for information about troubleshooting OpenGL issues.)
    [EDIT: It looks like Mylenium and I agree, and he types faster.]

  • How do I hide the text message preview in IOS5.0.1.

    What's up All?,
    Since upgrading my 4s to 5.0.1 I notice there's no way to hide the text preview on the lock screen.  For privacy reasons I don't want this to happen, it's ok if a name comes up but I don't want to see the message.  I've been searching the threads and am calling no joy.  One suggestion was that if the phone is password locked that it would just show that you have a text and the senders name, nothing more.  This isn't the case on my end, I always password lock all my stuff, phone included and I still see the text preview.  Under the setttings menu for texting, there's not even an option to turn the preview off, at least not on my phone, there was before.  
    Has anyone found a way to deal with this?  It didn't happen prior to IOS 5.0.1. 
    Thank you for any and all replies.  

    Color me feeling stupid!  I don't recall if I disabled it that way or not when I orignally got the phone, I know on the 3g it was under settings>messages.  In either case, you steered me to where I needed to go and got the issue fixed for me and for that, I thank you, I appreciate you're taking the time to help out!
    Take care

  • How to change the default setting for Output Preview

    Good afternoon! I use the Output Preview feature under Advanced > Print Production quite a bit, to preview the rendering in one specific simulation profile (for me, its Web Coated SWOP 2006 Grade 3 Paper).
    Is there any way to set the default to be a specific profile, instead of the one that keeps coming up (Output Intent: CGATS TR 001)?
    It's very time consuming to have to repeatedly select my profile everytime I open a PDF and gauge the file in Output Preview.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated... thanks!
    - Johnny

    All you need to do is set the default CMYK (under Preferences > Color Management) to the profile you use the most. It will then default to that profile in Output Preview, unless it has an Output Intent specified.
