PSE9 - How to undo Effect without undoing other actions

I've been wondering this for a while, but keep forgetting to post - Sometimes when creating a project, I'll add an "effect," such as a drop shadow, to a layer, but later decide to change it.
How do I undo that effect without undoing all the other actions that i have applied between when I initially applied the drop shadow, and when I decide to change it?
Is there a way to choose "no effect" in the Effects? If not, it would be helpful to have that option in this case.
Thanks for any help!

Well, a layer style is not an effect. If you really mean layer styles (like the drop shadow you mentioned), just go to Layer>Layer Style>Clear Layer Style. That works any time, even after you've saved and closed the file.
Actual effects are actions, and you can only back out of those with the undo commands/undo history. Once you pass the number of history states you're saving, or once you close the image, that's it. No going back.

Have 2 iPads on same apple acct. how wipe just one without affecting other?

I have 2 iPads on same apple account. How do I wipe one to give to my wife without affecting the other one. (I once deleted some bookmarks and they were deleted on both iPads.)

Hi joanfromgalax,
The resource below explains what to do before you give your iPad to your wife. Follow the steps in the order given. If you sign out of the iCloud account as instructed in step 2, then the data will not be deleted.
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201351
Before you sell or give away your iOS device, make sure that you've removed all of your personal information. Follow these steps to protect your data and get your device to its factory default state for the new owner:
Back up your device.
Sign out of iCloud:
Tap Settings > iCloud, scroll down, and tap Sign Out. In iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account.
Tap Sign Out again, tap Delete from My iPhone, then enter your password.
Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Erase All Content and Settings.
This will completely erase your device, including any credit or debit cards you added for Apple Pay and any photos, contacts, music, or apps. It will also turn off iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, and other services.
If you're using iOS 7 or later and have Find My iPhone turned on, your Apple ID and password will be required. After you provide your password, the device will be erased and removed from your account so that the next owner can activate it.
Your content won't be deleted from iCloud when you erase your device.
Contact your carrier for guidance on transferring service to the new owner. If you aren't using a SIM-card with your device, you can contact them to get help transferring service to the new owner.
When the new owner turns on the device for the first time, Setup Assistant will guide them through the setup process.
Important: Don't manually delete contacts, calendars, reminders, documents, photo streams, or any other iCloud data while signed in to your iCloud account, or the content will also be deleted from the iCloud servers and all of your devices that are signed in to iCloud.
Cheers,
- Judy

Does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

Several ways to get similar results. Image > Adjustments > Posturize with low values similar to what you'd use n Cutout. This is the most flexible way I can think of as you keep the image in RGB mode with layers intact. A more radical approach would be to reduce bit depth using Indexed Colour. You'll need to experiment with settings, try changing Forced to Primaries, and Matte to Foreground Color. There's no going back from this route, although you can change the mode back to RGB to re-enable layers, adjustment layers etc.
A nice thing about the Filter gallery filters is that you can change the layer to a Smart object with all the control that gives you.
Now if only this forum could filter out bizarre content.

Is it OK to Switching Undo Tablespaces without DB stop ?

We use Oracle11g R2.
I read Oracle Doc and It looks OK.
But, how could I make sure UNDO tablespace mode(ONLINE,PENDING OFFLINE) ?
Switching Undo Tablespaces
You can switch from using one undo tablespace to another. Because the UNDO_TABLESPACE initialization parameter is a dynamic parameter, the ALTER SYSTEM SET statement can be used to assign a new undo tablespace.
The following statement switches to a new undo tablespace:
ALTER SYSTEM SET UNDO_TABLESPACE = undotbs_02;
Assuming undotbs_01 is the current undo tablespace, after this command successfully executes, the instance uses undotbs_02 in place of undotbs_01 as its undo tablespace.
If any of the following conditions exist for the tablespace being switched to, an error is reported and no switching occurs:
The tablespace does not exist
The tablespace is not an undo tablespace
The tablespace is already being used by another instance (in an Oracle RAC environment only)
The database is online while the switch operation is performed, and user transactions can be executed while this command is being executed. When the switch operation completes successfully, all transactions started after the switch operation began are assigned to transaction tables in the new undo tablespace.
The switch operation does not wait for transactions in the old undo tablespace to commit. If there are any pending transactions in the old undo tablespace, the old undo tablespace enters into a PENDING OFFLINE mode (status). In this mode, existing transactions can continue to execute, but undo records for new user transactions cannot be stored in this undo tablespace.
An undo tablespace can exist in this PENDING OFFLINE mode, even after the switch operation completes successfully. A PENDING OFFLINE undo tablespace cannot be used by another instance, nor can it be dropped. Eventually, after all active transactions have committed, the undo tablespace automatically goes from the PENDING OFFLINE mode to the OFFLINE mode. From then on, the undo tablespace is available for other instances (in an Oracle Real Application Cluster environment).

After you switch the UNDO_TABLESPACE parameter to the new tablespace, at the minimum, you have to wait for active transactions to complete (commit/rollback) before you can take the old Undo Tablespace offline. Note that if you take the old Undo Tablespace offline too quickly, you may prevent long running queries from reading from the old Undo Tablespace and may cause them to error with ORA-01555. So you need to wait a reasonable time (e.g look at MAXQUERYLEN in V$UNDOSTAT) before you take the old Undo Tablespace offline.

How to use X-Fi Effects without selecting SB as the default sound device?

How to use X-Fi Effects without selecting SB as the default sound device?Hello everyone,
That's my situation.
I have Sound Blaster X-Fi Go sound card and I am using SRS HD Audio Lab. SRS HD Audio Lab was selected as the default audio device and X-Fi effects (X-Fi CMSS-3d, Equalizer etc.) was working without any problem in Windows Xp. I have Windows 7 now and when i select SRS HD Audio Lab as the default device, Creative effects are not working, i must select "SB X-Fi Go!" to get them working but i can't use SRS HD Audio Lab in that case. SRS is also using SB X-Fi Go sound card as the output and volume adjustment on console launcher is working but something is disabling the effects. Any solutions to enable effects ?
Thanks.

If the kernel modules for your sound card and webcam both support the index parameter (use modinfo to find out) then adding
options <name_of_preferred_card's_kernel_module> index=0
options <name_of_second_card's_kernel_module> index=1
to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (or another modprobe conf file of your choice) should solve the problem.

Really useful, Microsoft. Another reason to have customers waste time looking for something that should be obvious due to the question being here already.

How can I adjust fonts in one window only without affecting other open windows

I like to use a chat program and adjust font size without affecting other open windows

Why are two pages yoked when I prepare a newsletter in Pages? How can I delete one without the other?

Why are two pages yoked when I prepare a newletter? How do I delete one without the other?

They are all part of one Section. Just as you do not (hopefully) rip pages out at random from books, the pages of a Section are linked by the text that flows from one to the other.
If you want to move or delete particular page/s Insert a Section Break at the end of the page before.

Drop user without UNDO generation

Hello everyone,
I am a Oracle 11g 11.2 user and am trying to drop a user but that operation is creating huge amount of UNDO data. I was wondering if it is ever possible to drop this user preventeing UNDO generation... Is that even possible?
Thanks for your inputs,
TS

Adeel Ahmed wrote:
Drop user cannot be rollback, so there is no way it generates undoIt doesn't meant that just because it can't be rolled back , it doesn't generate undo. The undo would be generated for the updations happening over the dictionary objects but its amount won't be "enormous" as what OP mentioned.
