Problem with tints of global colours

Having a really odd problem, whereby I can't specify a particular percentage tint of a global colour. For example, I have an ordinary square shape with no stroke and it's filled with a colour that I have specified as global. I try to change the tint of the fill colour to 50% and it immediately reverts back to 100%. If I change it to 51% or 49% or any other percentage for that matter, it works. I've noticed this from time to time in other situations with different percentages. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
I'm using Illustrator CS6 v 16.0.4, and Mac OS 10.9.2.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your response. I'll try the work-around that you suggested. Also, I've just found that if I use the slider to select my tint percentage instead of typing it in, it works!
For me the issue seems to be tied to the object rather than the session. I've come to work on the same document again this morning after posting my question yesterday afternoon, and I'm still having the problem. Even if I copy the offending object to a new doc, the issue recurrs.
Not a huge problem given that I can work around it, but just annoying.
Thanks again.

Problem with .DLL and global variables

Hi,
I need some helps to figure out my problem.
I wrote a .dll file to open and run a GUI. When I run it at the first time, it is ok. When I call it again, there is an error "Pointer to free memory passed to library. It will be ok if I completely exit the program that calls the .dll before re-call it. I think there is some problems with global variables when I call another thread. How can I free global variables between threads. Is there any solution for this problem?
Thanks

Vinh Pham:
Are you doing anything intentionally that frees your globals?
CVI ships with an example program that demonstrates calling a DLL to create a user interface: guidll.cws.
I made two simple modifications to guidll.cws.
1. In guidll.c, I made hpanel global by moving its declaration from RunDLLUI() to right below the #include statements.
2. In useguidll.c, I duplicated the lines calling RunDLLUI () and MessagePopup() to call the DLL gui twice.
I built the project and ran it. I had no problems with free'ed globals.
Take a look at the guidll example.
Can you either post your code or a modification to guidll that demonstrates the problem you're having?

Problems with built-in isight: colours and fuzziness

I have just bought a new MacBook, however I seem to have quite a problem with my iSight. When I use it (for example, through Photo Booth) I get an image that is very reddish (it seems like the only colours I get are in the range black-orange-red, and no, I'm not using any special effects like Sepia :)) and that is very fuzzy, or even better, foggy.
Any fix for this? I have had an iMac with an iSight that only showed black and the solution seemed to be to reset the PMU. However, I cannot find information on how to reset the PMU on my new MacBook.

Problem with npm installing global packages

If I try to install a global package with npm like :
sudo npm install -g grunt
npm will install the package in "/usr/lib/node_modules/". But it is not installing the executable anywhere.
The result of npm -g bin is
/usr/bin
So that is where I would expect the executable to be placed. But nothing is there. So if I run grunt, it just complains that grunt can't be found.
Any ideas? Thanks
====================
EDIT: OK everyone, please ignore me, I'm just being thick.
You don't install grunt globally. Grunt is the local package to install. To get the global grunt command, you install grunt-cli. Doing things correctly and everything works fine.

This thread is a year and two days old. The OP indicated what they had found and presumably are no longer following this thread.
I have no idea what npm is about, but if the OP's comments don't help, pleas go ahead and open a new thread that you will own. Maybe provide a bit more information. In the mean time I am going to close this old thread.

Help problem with workspace e.g. colour space!

Hi everyone, made a bit of a mistake...I completed a whole short project with alot of shots from after effects. However I did not select a workspace, so for a long time now I have been going mad trying to work out why the project wasn't coming up to scratch after I exported it. The colours were becoming way to saturated, and darker.
Now I have realized that its because of the workspace, but now if I select a preset the whole scene will change. This is especially apparent with one shot which I have done with a 3D camera, and lighting. What ever colour space I select effect how the image looks, either it will be too dark, to light or too saturated. I am working in HDV, so the most obvious colour space to use is the one for that. However the image becomes low in contrast, and due to the nature of many differnt items in one shot, they are all effected differently...
Is there any easy way I can export the video with no colour space, without the colours changing in the render? Or is there a way I can use the presets without effecting what I have already done? With no colour space selected, what are the colour settings? Many thanks.

That's a complicated question, Will. Many people turn off Color Management (in applications tha traditionally had Color Management, I mean) because they hope that turning it off means avoiding color management. It probably means bad color management
But that's a long subject. There's also room for opinion.
The very, very short answer could be: if the Project Working Space is the one you should use for your target medium (say, HDTV REC.709), and you make sure source files are intepreted correctly (HDV files should automatically show an embedded profile, but you can manually assign an HDTV. REC 709 Input profile if they don't.), then color rendering should behave even better than the generic RGB space used when there's no Project Working Space assigned (CM off).
Two things are true, though. One is that turning on Color Management if you're not familiar with what you're doing could do more harm than good (there's a very good white paper on Color Management available from Adobe).
For example:
Do not use an output profile in the Render Queue unless you know why you are doing it.
Do not use display management/device simulation if your computer monitor is not calibrated.
Do not linerize the project or enable the option to blend using 1.0 gamma unless you know what you're doing.
And the other, that people have been using AE without CM (it debuted in CS3) without getting color or luminance shifts. If you see very noticeable shifts, it probably is because of something else (or bad use of CM).
An imporant question - the color shifts you are seeing, are these evident in the Comp panel as soon as you assign a project working space (like HDTV. REC 709) or do they appear later in the rendered file? Because changes introduced by the project space should be immediately noticeable in the Comp panel. If they appear in the rendered file only, then it's most likely something else (the rendering options, the format/codec you're exporting to, etc).

Problem with Syntax Coloring (Syntax Colouring) in Xcode with Python

I have a Python script with a bunch of doc strings. Doc strings are multi-line comments delimited by either triple single-quotes (''') or triple double-quotes ("""). When they appear as the first statement in a class, function, method or module, they are automatically set to the _doc_ member of the given class, function, method or module. This in turn allow that text to appear when the user types "help(myobj)" in the interpreter.
My problem stems from the Syntax Coloring in XCode not detecting the end of some multi-line strings. The point at which this begins is random; it does not occur with the first multi-line string. Any syntax after the randomly offending multi-line string is colored as if it were part of the string and so syntax coloring is effectively deactivated for the rest of the file. There does not seem to be a way to get XCode to rescan, re-examine or reload the file and different installs of XCode's syntax coloring die at different places in the source. If there is no way to tell XCode to refresh / rescan a file, is there a way to set the syntax coloring stack depth?? Maybe the problem stems from too shallow a stack depth for the syntax coloring. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Actually, XCode seems to correctly color the file when all multi-line strings / doc strings are using triple-double-quotes ("""), but NOT with triple-single-quotes ('''). Because ''' is legitimate python for indicating a multi-line string, I think this may be a bug in the syntax coloring algorithm.

Problems with tint and color

After only 6 months of use, my iPad has a strange color/tint...almost gone to black and white...

Did you drop the iPad?
Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.
Make a Genius Bar Reservation
http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

Is anyone having problems with the colour picker?

I'm having trouble with the colour picker, I've got some type on a 50% tint of black, when I go to the colour picker and change the colour it still stays as a tint of black even though the colour parameters have changed. It's only when I choose a set colour does the display of colour change on screen, then I can change it with the colour picker as normal. Is this something simple that's changed? Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

This is a major problem with Lollipop, but yo said it started 2 months ago. Several people have fixed problem by removing FaceBook And Face book messenger and then re loading the apps again. You might want to clear your cache before reloading. Not sure this is your problem, but worth a try. Good Luck

Going through the feedback and support pages will be a waste of your time. Apple won't respond to feedback, and support can't do anything regarding product suggestions, particularly not from a company with an existing product they wish to sell. The only attention you might get from Apple would be possible interest in selling your product through the Apple Stores, and I don't know how Apple chooses the third-party products they sell. All I could suggest would be writing to Apple's corporate headquarters:
Apple
1 Infinite Loop
Cupertino, CA 95014
with perhaps "Attention: Retail Sales Division" and telling them about your product and your interest in it being sold through the Apple Stores.

5700 TV-OUT problem with colours

Hi!!! I'm trying to fix the problem with my vga, but I could not get it fixed... The problem is that sice yesterday the colours in TV-Out mode is wrong, it appears that is on iverse colours, but I cannot change it. I had already reinstaled the nVidia 56.72 driver, reinstaled Windows XP SP1, and didn't work. Earlier today, I tried to connect the composite video cable and get the right colours, but just before I connected the S-Video again to check if the colours was right as composite, but for my sadness, it wasn't. Then I reconnected the composite and the colours was worg that out too, now the two TV-Outs, composite and S-Video are with the wrog colours... I don't know what else to do... help me!!!
Thank you anyway.

Hi,
Try changing the TV standard. Brazil uses a less common PAL-M standard, which uses NTSC line and field rates (525 lines,60 fields/sec) and a unique colour subcarrier frequency, which is close to the standard NTSC frequency. For more details on TV standards, look here.
You might have to experiment to find the combination which works best with your TV set.

Gradient problems with stepping single and full colour

Hi, just wondering is anyone else is having problems on printed
jobs with the gradient having definite steps between the
different tints. We had no problems with CS3, but since updating to CS4 we
have had jobs showing this stepping problem. Has Indesign changed settings?
Any help would be appreciated I have checked all the the PDF settings as our RIP works from the PDF's to create the plates. The RIP is a Harlequin Rip.

GrahamHe wrote:
We don't actually rip the files. We are a pre-press/production department in an Agency. We do ensure that the files we deliver to the printer are 100% clean. Our problem with exporting is that if you have a gradient, as InDesign splits up large images into small pieces when writing the PDF we have seen single images that have different resolutions. We even had one file where 99% of the image was 350 dpi, and a small part 100 dpi.
It could be that CS4 has fixed these problems and am willing to try it out, but am very wary of exporting.
InDesign only splits things up when you flatten, as far as I know. If you use an unflattened format, PDF1.4 or higher, there is no flattening, so the problem may well be in HOW you are exporting. Of course, it sounds like you do ads, and I send flattened ads to publications myself because I don't trust that they know how or have the technology to handle a proper transparent PDF, but I don't distill, and I try to avoid situations that would cause problems to begin with.
Take a look at the Transparency Flattener Preset you are using when you export. I believe the default is [Medium Resolution] which has a gradient resolution of 150 ppi. If possible, save your distiller settings as a .joboptions file and use that to export the same file and compare the distilled and exported versions.

Colour problem with Spry Accordion

Hi, I'm trying to create a website with a spry accordion. I've had some trouble with it (as I'm not good at CSS, it's new to me) and I've solved them all except for one: a problem with the colour of the bar when the section is open.
This is my website: http://s313354774.mialojamiento.es/saibe/design3/Publish/INICI.html
When the menu is closed everything is ok, but when you open it then the colour changes, making a gradation between the new colour and the original one. I've checked the stylesheet and there the original colour doesn't appear anywhere, so it's wierd to me.
Does anyone know why is it happenning? If i'ts because something stupid forgive me, as I told you this is quite new to me and I'm trying to learn day by day.
Sergi

Segi,
This one has got me stumped. If I copy your SpryAccordion.css and apply my copy to the document, there is no problem. Have a look here http://pleysier.com.au/sergi/
I know this will not help except to say, that if you change
<link href="SpryAssets/SpryAccordion.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
to
<link href="http://pleysier.com.au/SpryAccordion.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
see what happens.

Problem with exporting devices to non-global zone

Hi,
I've problem with exporting devices to my solaris zones (i try do add support to mount /dev/lofi/* in my non-global zone).
A create cfg for my zone.

I reboot the non-global zone, even reboot global-zone, and after that, in sapdev zone, there is no /dev/*lofi/* files.
What i do wrong? Maybe I reduce my sol 10 u4 sparc instalation too much.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks for help,
Marek

I experienced the same problem on my system Sol 10 08/07.
Normally, when the zone enters the READY state during boot, it's zoneadmd will run devfsadm -z <zone>. In my understanding this is to create the necessary device files in ZONEPATH/dev.
This worked well until recently. Now only the directories are still created.
It seems as if devfsadm -z is broken. Somebody should issue a call to sun.
As a workaround you can easily copy the device files into the zone. It is important not to copy the symbolic link but the target.
# cp /dev/lofi/1 ZONEPATH/dev/lofi
Hope this helps,

Problem with global temporary table in Oracle 10g

Hi All,
I face a peculiar problem in Oracle 10g with respect to Global temporary table.
Have Oracle 10g version in Production and 11g version in UAT.
Table_
create global temporary table TT_TEMPGPSMANUAL
Col_1    VARCHAR2(50),
Col_2    VARCHAR2(500),
Col_3    VARCHAR2(50),
Col_4    VARCHAR2(50),
Col_5    VARCHAR2(15),
Col_6    VARCHAR2(20),
Col_7    VARCHAR2(250),
Col_8    VARCHAR2(20),
Col_9    VARCHAR2(15),
Col_10   VARCHAR2(20),
Flag     NUMBER,
Col_11   INTEGER,
Col_12   VARCHAR2(50)
on commit preserve rows;So this should preserve the rows inserted into this table until the session ends.
Have a webpage in front-end where in turn, it opens another page (session is carried through) and a few rows will be inserted to this table from the webpage (through a function) on submit and the current page will be closed.
From the parent page, if I open the sub-page data inserted in the temporary table are held and displayed (another function to fetch the values in the Global Temp table).
The Problem in Oracle 10g (Production) is, this is not happening properly. When I close and open the sub-page, not every time I get the data stored i.e if I close and open the page 10 times, atelast 4 times the data is missed in the page (I am not getting values from temp table) randomly.
But this does not happen in UAT (which has Oracle 11g installed) as I get the data in the webpage consistently. After passing UAT, when we rolled out to Prod, getting this issue which we are unable to get what could be the reason.
It is very hard to debug using GTT dynamically in prod. It takes time to get Oracle 11g installed in Prod.
Can anyone suggest?
Regards

(I am not aware exactly and have the impression that, as the second page is a child, I guess it would take the same session).I'm not sure what "sub-page" or "parent page" means to you. If you're just linking from one page to another, "parent" and "child" don't really make sense since page A links to page B and B links to A quite frequently.
Assuming that you have to log in to access the site, it is likely that the two pages share the same middle tier application session. It is unlikely that the middle tier would hold the database session from the first request open waiting to see if the user eventually requested the second page. It is theoretically possible that you could code your middle tier this way but it is extremely unlikely that you would want to do so for a variety of reasons. So, when you say "would [the] session ... be changed", it is likely that the application session would be the same for both calls but that the database session would be different.
