Problem with Matte Edge Contols in Chroma Keyer

I'm in the process of pulling a chroma key using FCP. The actual keying has gone fine, but I want to adjust the matte edges using the Matte edge controls found within the chroma keyer. The problem is that when I adjust any of the 3 controls the unmasked image imediately goes blurry. If I set the values back to "0" the image is again sharp. What am I missing here.
Would very much appreciate any help.
Don

it's not the key I'm having trouble with (V2)
It's that the alpha is bunching a hole in V1.

Problem with the Finder window in Chrome

Hello,
I have a problem with my finder window in Chrome.
Since the window isn't a separate window anymore, but stuck to the top of the webpage, my finder window is too big. I can't read the "Cancel" or "Send" (I have no idea what's supposed to be there in English but I assume it's something like "send" and "cancel") buttons. I have provided some images of the problem, even if I make the Chrome window as small as possible, the finder window still is too big for my screen. I can resize the finder window from lest to right, but not up or down, which is extremely irritating for me.
If anyone can help me how I can solve this problem.
Thanks!

I found the solution on another thread...Here it is.
"I was having the same problem. I found a way to make it smaller. First, I opened chrome and clicked the green button on the window to make chrome go into full screen. Then I tried to save a file to make the finder window open in chrome. When it opened in full screen I could see the bottom of the window so I resized it to make it a little smaller. Once I did this it remembered the size so now I can access the bottom buttons when I take it out of full screen mode. Hope this helps."
Worked like a charm!

Problems with refine edge in CS5-no longer working properly?!

Hi all, just wondered if anyone has experienced this bizarre problem and if so how they went about fixing it or changin the settings! (i may have done something to photoshop for it not to work properly!!!)
Basically, i have got CS5 and was very excited to find the refine edge tool.... made cutting out people real easy and loved it.... however, for some reason the refine edge is not working anymore. Everytime i try to refine the edge using the refine edge tool it isnt selecting any fine details of the cut. It seems to be erasing the image with a low opacity making the selection very blurred?!
Hopefully you can see from the very quickly put together example that the refine edge tool is taking pixels out if her nose, chin, jumper neck and jumper! Any one know how to prevent this from happening?
Thanks! Matt

I am having the same problem with the refine edge tool. It seems to work the exact opposite of what I was expecting.
The above two images are before and after using the tool to refine the edge. As you can see from the picture without the mask view, the selection actually got smaller after I tried to add to it. When I use the other tool to erase an edge, as soon as I release the mouse button, the portion I tried to remove reappears as it was before. This has never worked properly for me. Also, I have tried outputting in several different ways.
As for the questions posed: The app and OS are up to date. I am the only user on my computer, so I'm not sure what using another user would accomplish. I will mention that I'm using Windows 7, not Mac. I'm really hoping there is a setting I have wrong somewhere.

Nokia 6210 Problems with using Edge (Internet Conn...

I have a Nokia 6210 phone bought from an authorized Nokia Care Center in Delhi, India two weeks ago. The software version on the phone is 3.08 dated 11-June 2008. It also mentions custom version as 03.08.c00.01
I am an Airtel Prepaid customer in New Delhi, India and had been using Mobile Office service on my prepaid number for some time. It worked perfectly fine for my Nokia 6233. On my current Nokia 6210 the Internet connection works fine for the first time through the built in browser or though any other application (like Google Maps, Gmail etc) which required internet and displays the sign signifying that the edge connection is active.
The problem is that once I close the application the standby sign for Edge network is displayed as follows and no matter what I am unable to use the internet connection on the phone again until I do the following
Restart the phone (which definitely isn’t a good option)
Wait for around 8-10 minutes after which the Edge on hold sign disappears and is replaced by which means that the edge is available
I found this out accidentally, but if I press the keys *123# which I typically use for enquiring balance, the on hold sign goes away and is replaced by the Edge available sign. after which things work fine.
Not sure where the problem is. I really doubt it’s got to do something with Airtel as the same number worked perfectly fine with my previous Nokia phone in the same area. In addition my wife’s phone (again an Airtel prepaid number) is working great in the same area. So either this has got to do something with the handset or the compatibility of the handset with the Airtel, New Delhi.
I have tried various sets of setting from the following sources
The wizard in built in the handset
Getting the settings from the Nokia site
Getttng the settings from Airtel Customer Care
But with all of them I am facing the same set of problems.
Wanted to check if anybody out you have ever faced a similar problem with this phone or one in a simlar series?

I suggest that you don't make permanent coupling between devices. Looks like Nokia modem is more responsive when you need to manually accept every connection at the phone's end.

Problems with Sapphire Edge Presets

Hi,
I'm curious if anyone else has similar problems with GenArts Sapphire Edge. Sometimes when I add a loaded preset effect like FilmDamage (in this case, "Slot Spin" to a clip, when I shut down FCPX and restart it, the loaded preset reverts back to a preset I had been previously experimenting with and decided I didn't like. This malfunction results in losing HOURS of keyframing clips. I tried to reload the "Slot Spin" preset again, and all my keyframe markers disappeared. I have emailed GenArts about some of the problems with their plugin for FCP, and they blame Apple. It appears this might become a repeat of the cases of the Adobe/Apple runaround debacle.
Anyone experiencing similar problems? Any workarounds?

UPDATE: The same problem happened again today. I called GenArts Customer Support, and they said that essentially FCP X v10.0.4 is a terrible update and there are many many bugs. He said the software is "broken." I've heard from other people at work that 10.0.4 is causing many problems for those using Compound Clips.
The problem is that I NEED to use Compound Clips with the way I've built my workflow, and I'm using them they way they're supposed to be used, but they don't work correctly.
Oh, Apple. What have you become? You kill me. I want to love this product. It makes editing fun again. Once I wrapped my head around the concepts you present in FCPX, a big bright lightbulb went on in my head. But then these kinds of problems arise and evaporate the puddle of of trust (it used to be a lake) you've rained down on me. Please, please get it together. Work with your vendors, and help them help make your product better, or else you will lose me and many many others.
I want my 9 hours of lost work back. (And the autosave feature.)

Sound problems with flash player in Google chrome

Whenever I try to play any videos or play any games using google chrome the sound is very choppy. This only started when Chrome updated to the newest version of flash player. I don't have this problem when using Internet explorer. When I checked what version I am using of flash player in IE I found out it is an older version, 10.3.
I have an older computer and speed is definitely an issue. I watch a lot of tv shows using my computer and I prefer Google Chrome as it seems to be faster than IE at least for my computer.
My pc stats
Windows XP
Pentium 4 CPU 1.80GHz
1.79GHz , 640 MB of RAM
77% free space.
Is there any way to go back to the earlier version of flash player with Google Chrome?

I don't like using IE because it refuses to open several sites to watch the tv shows I want to watch. I decided to download Firefox and that seems to be working. This version of firefox actually has the most recent version of flash player and it seems to be working ok. I really wish I could use google chrome, but it seems I can't. Oh well as long as I get to watch my shows, I guess this will have to do.

Problem with FusionFX template in IE/Chrome after upgrade to 11.1.1.6.2

Hi,
just a quick check to see if anyone else have experienced the same error after upgrading OBIEE to version 11.1.1.6.2.
All dashboards using the "FusionFX" is now missing two images at the top left of the screen (under the tab title heading) in run time view.
The html code generated is:
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" class="HeaderSecondBar HeaderSecondBarPadding" role="presentation">...</table>
<div class="HeaderDiv">
<img src="Missing_dbd_center_gradient.png" alt class="HeaderBackground">
<img src="Missing_header_topshadow.png" alt class="HeaderTopShadow">
</div>The 2 png-files are shown as missing images in both Internet Explorer 9 and Chrome, but no error in Firefox - everything fine there!
Checking the server directory \Oracle\product\middleware\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\app\res\sk_FusionFX\b_mozilla_4\
shows that there indeed are two png-files named dbd_center_gradient.png and header_topshadow.png.
Have anyone seen this?
Even better; is there a simple way to fix it?
Our company intranet is based on Internet Explorer 9, so Firefox is no solution unfortunately.
Regards,
-Haakon-

Just upgraded to 11.1.1.6.5 - and this problem is STILL NOT addressed by Oracle....
I realize they don't have much love for Microsoft nor Google, but it would be wise to consider their customers trying to use their tools on other platforms than *nix and Mozilla...
Sorry, just needed to let out some steam after downloading and patching for most of the day....

CS4 Problem with Matt and Frames

Hi,
I am new to CS4. I have CS4 Extended. I also have Photoshop Elements 6, which has a choice of a drop shadow Matt and a frame gallery with many examples to choose from. See Matt and Frame examples from Elements 6 applied to photos here:

However, I cannot find any Mattes and Frames in CS4. Where are they located? Are they included CS4 at all?
Please advise.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Den

Other than a very few, I would say the frames detract from the art within, because the frame has more texture and depth than the art.
Compositionally, areas of high contrast or fine texture or large shadows draw attention to themselves. This art is relatively flat and the frames seem more the subject than the art.
I realize this is likely because the frames are canned from PSE and you may not have much choice other than the colors.
Your initial post doesn't really ask a question, but I assume you are asking how to create similar frame effects within Photoshop as you can from Elements. Photoshop doesn't come with as many high-level things built-in from Adobe, but there are a wealth of plug-ins that extend Photoshop's capabilities, www.autofx.com is a place to look, or better yet, is to teach yourself how to accomplish things, by looking for tutorials or reading books.

Problems with Hotspot, EDGE, and 3G internet after upgraded to iOS 4.3

I just upgraded my iPhone 3GS to iOS version 4.3 , but after I installed it, the Personal Hotspot badge on Settings>General>Network appears, but it keeps at the "loading circle" sign (the same one when the iPhone is turning off). Besides that I realized that my 3G internet is not working, neither EDGE. none of the 3G or EDGE icons appears next to my carrier bundle, how it usually do. Wifi is working though. I tried to solve the problem restoring the iPhone, but the problem persisted even after the restore. What's happening to my iPhone 3GS?

Hi man!
have the same equipment and the same problem, who is your mobile operator?
I'm from Chile and my operator is Movistar, I think they blocked the service hotspots.
Best regards

Problems with Facebook on safari and chrome

Since a few days i am unable to view Facebook on Safari or Chrome.
Just lines with text but no images only question marks.
On top of that unable to open Firefox ( says Unexisting Profile)

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

Problem with matte

I am using mattes in livetype and importing them in FCP and putting an image over them using a travel alpha. Easy enough. There are a couple I would like to use the Gauze mattes to give a nice textured look on the image, however a travel alpha doesn't work correctly what should I do with these mattes.
Thanks
Shawn

Depends on what algorithm you use to scale the image. For a quick fix, if you know that the image will be scaled by 50% then make the matte borders twice as wide (2, 0, 2, 0)

Problem with hard edge gradients

Hi all,
Something strange is going on. When i use a smooth brush...drawing a circle or whatever i get these hard edges that shouldn´t be there.
See this image.....
http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=404727
The interesting part is when i save it as a jpeg or something else it looks great and perfect. smooth as it should be!
What is the problem?
I´ve played with a lot of performance settings including updating my Geforce GT 740M
Please help!

See if its any better if you create that editing in 16bit color and you turn off your GPU in Photoshop Preferences performance and view zoomed to actual pixels..

Problem With Refine Edge Tool (CS 6)

When trying to increase the edge of a selection, the newly selected "margin" immediately snaps back to its original state. Help!!

Hi ninose11,
For this type of project and idea, I would recommend trying some of the magnetic lasso tool. The tool is located as the third tool in the toolbar (you should see a lasso or rope looking icon), hold down the icon and it should expand - then select the magnetic lasso tool. The magnetic lasso tool will allow you to scroll over the edge of his profile and it will automatically detect the outline edges. The slower you roll-over the shape the higher the accuracy will be. If the magnet is not detecting a particular edge or sharp corner (for example, the ear) you can manually drop points by simply right-clicking at any point during the selection. If the edge is too sharp, you can also create a light feather which will blend the edge softly (this should be located at the top).
If this is unsuccessful still, you can try selecting by color, using the Magnetic Wand Tool (forth icon in the toolbar, again hold down for all options). Once you are using the magnetic wand tool, you should be able to select all the black areas of the background to delete. You can increase or decrease the tolerance to change the sensitivity of the selection.
Hope this helps!

Anyone having problems with the edge network?

Can't connect to the internet or email. It says it kin't find the server or that cannot activate edge.
Just wondering...

Hey Argengary,
Is this happening in one location or all locations?
Do you have a protective case on the iPhone? http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306435
Try toggling Airplane mode or resetting the iPhone.
Goto Settings> Airplane Mode, On then wait a few seconds and turn it Off again.
This article will walk you through resetting the iPhone.
