I created my first 'test' logo and it worked just fine...thank you.  I am trying to create an improved version, however, when I attempt to select the text to copy & paste it into the work path, I get continually get a pop-up message that "the point you clicked is not inside the vector mask of a visible layer."  I have watched the video OVER and OVER thinking that I missed a step, but....not.  I'm tearing my hair out!  HELP!!

    In this episode of The Complete Picture, Julieanne demonstrates the incredible power of Variables in Photoshop. Learn how to cut hours of time out of your production time when you need to combine text and photographs. Although this feature has been in Photoshop for many releases, only a small number of customers know if it’s immense power for tasks such as automating event photography, creating web banners and graphics.

    Struggling with my .png's in variables.  They are sizing up against the previous dataset and shrink.  By the 5th or 6th in my set of datasets, I'm working with a tiny version - very lo-res.  Jpg's are no problem as are .png's that are a set size (i.e. 4x5).  Only my cutout PNG's with transparency around them are an issue.  Thoughts on how to keep the size from shrinking?
    thank you

  • LR - Creating Custom Sort Orders in Lightroom | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

    Julieanne Kost shows the best ways to take advantage of Adobe Lightroom’s Custom Sort Order feature in this Lightroom 2 tutorial.
    http://adobe.ly/y3dj94

    This was helpful, Julieanne, however, I have one more question on custom sort order. I am trying to sort a Collection that is made up of photos from several different import files. It's a vacation collection where I have created a different file for each day of the vacation as well as by who took the photos. So i have a file for my daughter's shots, my shots, my son's, etc, to keep things organized. Now that i have selected the "best of" from each original import file, I have created a new User Collection where I am putting them all together. The problem is, my entire Collection won't sort. I want to sort them all by capture time, but LR keeps grouping them by the original file source, and only sorting by capture time within each group. Can you help?

  • Why Does the Photograph's Preview Change in Lightroom and Bridge? | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

    In this video tutorial Julieanne explains one of the great mysteries of Lightroom and Bridge – why Lightroom (or Bridge) displays a photograph one way and then changes the way it looks a moment later. It will all become clear with just a little information about how digital camera files are captured and displayed by different applications.

    This tutorial was outstanding in explaining why Bridge and LR may have different renditions of the same photograph as well as why it changes after a few seconds.  This camera calibration video is one of the best that I have seen.

  • What is the best MIDI controller for Logic, and is Axiom Pro the only line with "Hyper Control?

    What is the best MIDI keyboard/control surface to use with LOGIC (Studio - which I assume is the latest & greatest version) and is Axiom Pro the only line that has Hyper control? I already own the Axiom Pro 61, but prefer more keys, and though I like much about it, the keys aren't very easy for playing more complex material, and there is an obvious delay regarding attack response (esp. noticeable at faster speeds). There are other issues as well I've read of regarding key sticking (though I consider myself lucky mine do not, there is nontheless a sluggish clunckiness issue which neither helps agility/acuracy nor the delay factor.) and the unit not lasting very long before it breaks and needs repairing. And lastly, I am no fan of Avid and care not to support them in the least.

    Sorry, but is this an iPad question? Axiom Pro 61 is not an iPad-compatible peripheral, so perhaps you mean to post in the Logic forum?

  • I have a Dell Inspiron 530S computer and a Dell Photo 926 printer. Using Firefox with the printer, how do I scan a blank form into the computer and fill it out there and then print out the completed form with the printer?

    Basically, the problem arose when I got a package from the Veterans Administration requiring me to fill out some complicated forms. Using my equipment and Firfox, I have been unable to do it.
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == I applied for Agent Orange evaluation

    That's not really a Firefox support issue.
    Check with Dell support and ask if the scanner software is capable of saving the form as an actual form, instead of as an image as most scanners do.

  • Creating transparent logos help?

    Hi,
    I've been working through this tutorial
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/pscs5-creating-transpar ent-logos-for-watermarks-and-overlays-in-photoshop/
    But as I have upgraded to Photoshop CC I am having a few issues.
    I have done everything in the tutorial, but when I come to use my custom shape if I just click on my image a pop up box appears that says 'Create custom shape' with boxes to fill in the pixel sizes, and two check boxes 'from centre or preserve proportions'.
    If I click and drag this box doesn't come up, instead the custom shape is put down ok but the little path squares are on. If I click on a different layer they go away, but when I click on the shape layer they come back again! How do I make it so that my custom shape appears like a normal image?
    I've got shape selected in the drop down box.
    I have just discovered the properties box, if I click on the shape path it changes to the normal shape, is there a way to make that the default?
    I also want to apply the layer style and have tried saving a new tool preset. But the layer style won't save on it. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
    Any tips greatly appreciated.

    When you click on the document without dragging, the pop up appears as it want to know what size the shape should be at that location. Thats why it does not appear when you drag, as that drag tells photoshop what size the shape should be.
    What I think maybe happening, is you have the custom shape tool set to path instead of shape. In the top tool bar on the left side of the screen you will see (second icon in) a drop box or 3 icons (depending on your version) If a drop box click it and select shape, if 3 icons click the left icon not the middle or right.
    The shape option is also the default, so if you can not figure it out you can click right click on the very first icon in the top tool bar and select reset tool or reset all tools.
    Layer style do not save in the tool presets, those presets are for the tools not the object. What you need to do is open the styles panel (window>style) Then save your preset there. Either click on the new icon at the bottom of the styles panel or click inside the panel.

  • Procedure for creating transparent table, data element and domain

    Hi,
    Can anybody let me know the procedure for creating transparent table, data element and domain.
    Thanks,
    Mahathi

    Hi
    Database table and its components
    A database table is the central data structure of the ABAP/4 data dictionary.
    The structure of the objects of application development are mapped in tables on the underlying relational database.
    The attributes of these objects correspond to fields of the table.
    A table consists of columns (fields) and rows (entries). It has a name and different attributes, such as delivery class and maintenance authorization.
    A field has a unique name and attributes; for example it can be a key field.
    A table has one or more key fields, called the primary key.
    The values of these key fields uniquely identify a table entry.
    You must specify a reference table for fields containing a currency (data type CURR) or quantity (data type QUAN). It must contain a field (reference field) with the format for currency keys (data type CUKY) or the format for units (data type UNIT). The field is only assigned to the reference field at program runtime.
    The basic objects for defining data in the ABAP Dictionary are tables, data elements and domains. The domain is used for the technical definition of a table field (for example field type and length) and the data element is used for the semantic definition (for example short description).
    A domain describes the value range of a field. It is defined by its data type and length. The value range can be limited by specifying fixed values.
    A data element describes the meaning of a domain in a certain business context. It contains primarily the field help (F1 documentation) and the field labels in the screen.
    A field is not an independent object. It is table-dependent and can only be maintained within a table.
    You can enter the data type and number of places directly for a field. No data element is required in this case. Instead the data type and number of places is defined by specifying a direct type.
    The data type attributes of a data element can also be defined by specifying a built-in type, where the data type and number of places is entered directly.
    <b>Two Level Domain Example</b>
    A domain defines a field technically and therefore it may
    be used at different business levels.
    A data element describes the meaning of a domain in a certain business context.
    A domain, however, is used for the technical definition of a table field (for example field type and length).
    Therefore, although a take-off airport (data element S_FROMAIRP) would have a different business meaning from an airport where a plane lands (data element S_TOAIRP), they could still have the same domain(here S_AIRPID) because technically we could assign the same number of characters whether the airport is a take-off or a landing airport.
    <b>Definitions of Table in Database</b>
    In SAP R/3 tables are defined as
    A) Transparent tables: All of the fields of a dictionary table correspond to a field in the real database table.
    B) Pooled tables: Different tables which are not linked to each other with a common key are combined into a TABLE POOL. Several logical tables thus exist as a single real database table.
    C) Cluster tables: Several tables linked by a common key may sometimes be combined by the data dictionary and made to exist on the database schema as a single table.
    SAP is evolving R/3 tables in transparent tables.
    <b>Elaboration on each of the definitions</b>
    A transparent table is automatically created on the database when it is activated in the ABAP Dictionary. At this time the database-independent description of the table in the ABAP Dictionary is translated into the language of the database system used.
    The database table has the same name as the table in the ABAP Dictionary. The fields also have the same name in both the database and the ABAP Dictionary. The data types in the ABAP Dictionary are converted to the corresponding data types of the database system.
    The order of the fields in the ABAP Dictionary can differ from the order of the fields on the database. This permits you to insert new fields without having to convert the table. When a new field is added, the adjustment is made by changing the database catalog (ALTER TABLE). The new field is added to the database table, whatever the position of the new field in the ABAP Dictionary.
    Tables can also reside on the database as Pooled tables or cluster tables
    Pooled Tables: Different tables which are not linked to each other with a common key can be combined into a Table Pool. The tables contained within this pool are called Pooled Tables. A table pool is stored in the database a simple table. The table's data sets contain, in separate fields, the actual key for the data set to be stored, the name of the pooled table and the contents of the data set to be stored.
    Using this schema, several logical tables are combined into a single real database table. Although the data structure of each set is lost during the write to the table pool, it is restored during the read by the ABAP/4 Data Dictionary. The ABAP/4 Data Dictionary utilizes its meta-data to accomplish this.
    Since information must be prepared (defined) within the ABAP/4 Data Dictionary when it is read or written to (or accessed), this process itself defines these as not transparent tables
    Cluster Tables: Occasionally, several tables may be linked by a common key. The ABAP/4 Data Dictionary can also combine these tables into a single table. Each data set of the real table within the database contains a key and in a single data field, several data sets of the subsequent table for this key.
    As mentioned above, these table types require special data handling, therefore they are not transparent tables.
    <b>Technical Settings in Dictionary</b>
    The data class logically defines the physical area of the database (for ORACLE the table space) in which your table should be created. If you choose the data class correctly, the table will automatically be created in the appropriate area on the database when it is activated in the ABAP Dictionary.
    The most important data classes are master data, transaction data, organizational data and system data.
    Master data is data that is rarely modified. An example of master data is the data of an address file, for example the name, address and telephone number.
    Transaction data is data that is frequently modified. An example is the material stock of a warehouse, which can change after each purchase order.
    Organizational data is data that is defined during customizing when the system is installed and that is rarely modified thereafter. The country keys are an example.
    System data is data that the R/3 System itself needs. The program sources are an example.
    Further data classes, called customer data classes (USER, USER1), are provided for customers. These should be used for customer developments. Special storage areas must be allocated in the database.
    The size category describes the expected storage requirements for the table on the database.
    An initial extent is reserved when a table is created on the database. The size of the initial extent is identical for all size categories. If the table needs more space for data at a later time, extents are added. These additional extents have a fixed size that is determined by the size category specified in the ABAP Dictionary.
    You can choose a size category from 0 to 4. A fixed extent size, which depends on the database system used, is assigned to each category.
    Correctly assigning a size category therefore ensures that you do not create a large number of small extents. It also prevents storage space from being wasted when creating extents that are too large.
    Modifications to the entries of a table can be recorded and stored using logging.
    To activate logging, the corresponding field must be selected in the technical settings. Logging, however, only will take place if the R/3 System was started with a profile containing parameter 'rec/client'. Only selecting the flag in the ABAP Dictionary is not sufficient to trigger logging.
    Parameter 'rec/client' can have the following settings:
    rec/client = ALL All clients should be logged.
    rec/client = 000[...] Only the specified clients should be logged.
    rec/client = OFF Logging is not enabled on this system.
    The data modifications are logged independently of the update. The logs can be displayed with the Transaction Table History (SCU3).
    Logging creates a 'bottleneck' in the system:
    Additional write access for each modification to tables being logged.
    This can result in lock situations although the users are accessing different application tables!
    <b>Create transparent table</b>
    Go to transaction SE11. Enter name of table you want to create (beginning with Y or Z) and click on create pushbutton
    Enter the delivery class and the table maintenance criteria
    The delivery class controls the transport of table data when installing or upgrading, in a client copy and when transporting between customer systems .
    The display/maintenance indicator specifies whether it is possible to display/maintain a table/view using the maintenance tools Data Browser (transaction SE16) and table view maintenance (transactions SM30 and SM31).
    Enter the name of the table field and the data element. The
    System automatically populates the technical details for
    existing data elements.
    So far as possible it is advisable to use existing data elements which befit the business requirements.
    However, we may create data elements if need be. The same is shown in the next slide.
    To create a data element simply double click on it.
    Alternately create a data element by simply choosing the
    data type radio button on SE11 initial screen.
    <b>Create data element</b>
    The system prompts you to create a new data element.
    Choose the Yes pushbutton.
    Under the data type tab enter the domain name which
    determines the technical characteristics of the field.
    Further characteristics tab: Allows you to specify a search help assigned to the data element.
    It also allows you to specify a parameter id which helps you populate a field from SAP memory.
    Field label: Can be assigned as prefixed text to a screen field referring to the ABAP Dictionary. The text is displayed on the screen in the logon language of the user (if the text was translated into this language).
    <b>Create domain</b>
    If the domain does not exist in the data dictionary the
    system prompts you to create one.
    Give the technical characteristics under the definition
    tab. Value range allows you value restriction at domain
    level.
    Value range tab:
    As explained in the section Consistency through input checks one can restrict the possible values for a field at domain level itself by either entering fixed values or by specifying a value table under the tab Value range.
    <b>Currency/Quantity fields in a table</b>
    A currency or a quantity field must be assigned a reference field from a reference table containing applicable qty unit or currency unit.
    Field of the reference table, containing the applicable quantity unit or currency
    A field containing currency amounts (data type CURR) must be assigned a reference field including the currency key (data type CUKY).
    A field containing quantity specifications (data type QUAN) must be assigned a reference field including the associated quantity unit (data type UNIT).
    <b>Create transparent table continue</b>
    Maintain the technical settings of the table by clicking on the tab

    Hi,
    Your question is not clear for me. Since it is a TEM infotype, it could be a PD infotype.
    If you wish to create a PD infotype, use transaction PPCI to create the infotype.
    But before that you need to create a structure HRInnnn (where nnnn is the infotype number) with all the fields relevant for the infotype.
    If you wish to create a PA infotype, use transaction PM01 to create the infotype.
    But before that you may be required to create a strcuture PSnnnn  (where nnnn is the infotype number) with all the fields relevant for the infotype.

    You can share the same Apple ID for purchasng form the iTunes and app stores without any problems, but you should all used separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs.  (You are not required to use the same ID for iCloud and other services as you do for the iTunes store.)  This will prevent you from ending up with merged data.  You should also use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.
