Pulling a person out of background

Is this the program to highlight a person and pull him out of background. Is there a simple way of doing that from video
thx

there is no simple way of doing this unless you've purposely recorded for keying.
from what you're describing, it's a process called "rotoscoping." search here and the web for definitions and procedures.

I need to know how to take a person out of a picture and then add it to another picture?

I need to know how to take a person out of a picture and then add it to another picture? I am on version 9.0 for photoshop elements.

Try this:
In Editor, go to the expert tab.
Open picture B, the one you wish to select something from to add to another picture.
Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
Use the move tool to position object from picture B.
In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and object B on a separate layer.

I can't pull a value out of a list from CFDIRECTORY.

I've avoided insanity all these years, but this issue finally has me on the brink. My institutionalization is in your hands.
I'm trying to get the name of a specific directory from the list of directories generated by CFDIRECTORY action="list". But everything I try, fails in one way or another. Bascially, I can't pull the value out of the structure -- even though the code DOES FIND the value -- because it thinks the value is supposed to be a field or key. (The server is running CF8.)
These lines of code work fine:

<CFSET LocalDirectoryList = "">
<CFDIRECTORY action="list" name="LocalDirectoryList" TYPE="dir" directory="#PathOfLocalFolderToCopyToRemoteFolders#">
<CFIF IsDefined("LocalDirectoryList.RecordCount") AND LocalDirectoryList.RecordCount GT "0">
<CFLOOP query="LocalDirectoryList">
Now comes the killer. I want to define a variable whose value is the name of the current local directory -- that is, the value of LocalDirectoryList.Name for each loop of the loop. But if I try to Access LocalDirectoryList.Name as a simple string variable, the way I usually can for a query string variable --
<CFSET ThisLocalDirectory = LocalDirectoryList.Name>
-- I get a message, "You have attempted to dereference a scalar variable of type class java.lang.String as a structure with members."
On the other hand, if I treat "LocalDirectoryList.Name" as a structure, and try to destructure it with any of the following --
1) <CFSET ThisLocalDirectory = Evaluate(LocalDirectoryList.Name)>
2) <CFSET ThisLocalDirectory = "#Evaluate(LocalDirectoryList.Name)#">
3) <CFSET ThisLocalDirectory = "#StructFind(LocalDirectoryList, Name)#">
4) <CFSET ThisLocalDirectory = StructFind(LocalDirectoryList, Name)>
5) <CFSET ThisLocalDirectory = "#Evaluate(StructFind(LocalDirectoryList, Name))#">
I get either "Variable backgrounds is undefined" (for 1 or 2) or "The specified key, backgrounds, does not exist in the structure" (for 3, 4 or 5) .
As it happens, the name of that directory is "backgrounds". So the value I'm looking for DOES EXIST in the structure "LocalDirectoryList". And the code IS FINDING IT. But it thinks its the NAME of a key, instead of the VALUE of the key.
Note: Adding the attribute, listInfo="Name", to the CFDIRECTORY tag restricts the returned fields, or keys, to "Name", but LocalDirectoryList.Name is still a structure, and I still get the same results.
Will I be the next cuckoo in the cuckoo's nest? Or can you save me, and keep me sane? My fate is in your hands.
Thank you!

But it thinks its the NAME of a key, instead of the VALUE of the key.
Because that what the code is instructing CF to do ;-)
<CFSET ThisLocalDirectory = StructFind(LocalDirectoryList, Name)>
If you want to search for the literal string "Name" it must be enclosed in quotes. Otherwise you are instructing CF to treat it as a variable and to pass its value (ie "backgrounds") into structFind(). The same thing with evaluate().
<CFIF IsDefined("LocalDirectoryList.RecordCount") AND LocalDirectoryList.RecordCount GT "0">
However as Michael pointed out, there is rarely a need for evaluate, and under normal circumstances no need for that IsDefined either. The query should always exist and the loop will only execute if the query contains one or more records. So the code could be reduced to this.
<CFDIRECTORY action="list"
                name="LocalDirectoryList"
                type="dir"
                directory="#PathOfLocalFolderToCopyToRemoteFolders#">
<CFLOOP query="LocalDirectoryList">
         <CFSET ThisLocalDirectory = LocalDirectoryList.Name>
</CFLOOP>
Note, there is technically no need to assign #LocalDirectoryList.Name# to another variable either. It can be used directly.

I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it. help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks

I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it.
Is it not possible to create a text box, fill it with dynamic (data driven) text, but make the font size either scale up or down automatically, so that the entire text box is filled? This is a feature in PrintShop Mail Pro called COPY FIT. but no such feature in Indesign??
help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks, DJ

lol... it seems to work, but I have another huge problem!
Apparently .CSV files cannot contain page breaks in the data! The data I am trying to merge is a 'letter', with paragraphs, line breaks, etc.,
But, after data merging, it ignores page breaks and only merges the first paragraph of each letter. (sigh)
Solution? Hopefully, an EASY solution. lol as we have thousands of records.
Is there a third party indesign plugin that will allow .xml, or .xls data merge import??
Thx,
DJ

This new version of FireFox is making me nutz! It is SUCKING 100% CPU time almost constantly. I could just pull my hair out. I wpdated once a month or so ag

I tried to add this in the topic already open but it kept sending me through the unending rabbit holes!
My question is: How do I figure out what release I was on, get rid of this one and got back to a functional firefox that moves in realtime. I already did all the reset and etc.... I just want to go back to the speed I had. This halting , hanging up misery of a browzer is Sad. I have had firefox for years and always recommended it ..... BUT NOT ANY MORE. I agree with the other poster ... there should be a rollback feature. Peoples time has value and right now FireFox is sucking the value down a rabbit hole.
See Below Comment Feedback submitted before I finally got here:
This new version of FireFox is making me nutz! It is SUCKING 100% CPU time almost constantly. I could just pull my hair out. I wpdated once a month or so ago and it slowed down..... but the latest update before I did the reset really slowed me down. I came here to fix it a couple of dayz ago and did the reset firefox and now it IS RUNNING SO POORLY AND SLOW I AM ABOUT TO KILL IT OFF MY MACHINE!!! Yes that is me yelling - and it happened in SSSSSSSSSSSSS LLLLLLLLL OOOOOOOO WWWWWWWWWW Motion. I have run all the security scans and cleanups ---this needs a fix ASAP!!! PS: The hang ups and slowness is EVERYWHERE I go. I only get speed doing programs not connected to ON LINE.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Trying to do an Apple style video with a blown out white background. Is there a way to get zebras on screen?

New to grading, but figured there had to be a way to get zebras to see what's overexposed/underexposed quickly like on a monitor when filming? Or is there a tutorial for this somewhere on how to achieve this effect within SpeedGrade? I also have to match clips that were shot at slightly different lighting setups, but still blow out the background on all of them. Thanks!

This is what the scopes are for ... which Speedgrade "hides" off the left edge of the screen.Here's where they're hid:
And here's what it looks like with the Vectorscope YUV (really useful!), Histogram (occasionally useful, often replace it with "Wave"), and Parade which is especially useful in exposure/gain, contrast, and white-balancing. Note where it says " 3 Scopes Layout " ... click in that area to choose how many scopes, and right click on each resultant pane to choose which scope to show there.

I forget to charge my MacBook Pro and it turns off because of that. Now it wont automatically connect to saved networks. I have to put in manually to make it work. Even after restating still the same. Sometimes pulling the Battery out fixes it

Pulling a program out of the IDE

I have been playing with pulling small progrograms out of my Integrated development environment (IDE); writing them to CD; and installing them on other desktops, just as an exercise in the case I want to deliver some applications to a friend.
The overall requirements(steps) are not clear to me.
1.the directory organization
2. the file (jar) creation
3. the D0S (java.exe) window
Are some of the issue that come to mind.
I have been able to use a desktop icon and set the path to a program.class file and run it--making the program window appear but the java.exe Dos window also appears.
So far, the number of texts I have give no step by step instructions on how to configure an environment without an IDE with the java VM already intalled, or how to pull a program out of the IDE and install it along with a copy of the VM on another machine.

Good question. Lot's of people don't know this, and I can't even say I have all the right answers. There are probably numerous ways you could do this. The best way, if you have the money, is to buy something like InstallAnywhere or Wise that provide professional installations. Not only will your install look like professional installation of stuff like Photoshop, etc but it will also handle issues like OS platform specifics, environment variables, registry entires (if possible), the proper JRE/JDK installed... if not install it, uninstallation features, and so forth. That is by far the best way to go.
However, often you just want to bundle something up and send it out to a few friends, family, etc. You could of course look for an open source or freeware utitlity and no doubt there are some out there. Or, you could do what a lot of people do now, use the Ant tool (written in Java) and have a build script that does everything for you. I have a simple template build script that is used for various tasks. In our work setup, it does local dev (incremental) compiles, and if necessary packaging it up into .jar/.zip files. My single build script can also run junit tests and reports, builds executable packages into .zip and .jar's as necessary, will do a clean build (great for making sure any code changes don't break some code elsewhere, thus ensuring that your normal incremental build process is not missing something), it can FTP or copy files to locations, it can email results, and so forth. If you don't know about ant, I STRONGLY suggest you learn it quickly, and to me there is no better way than buy the book Java Development with Ant. Two of the main Ant developers/committers wrote the book and it does an excellent job of teaching you about all the different uses of Ant, including the template build script I now use. It is well worth the $40 or so you'll find the book for, and within a week you'll have a good build template that you can modify for specific projects.
Now, in terms of the 3 things, well, the directory organization is always changing. Each project may have something different, but here is one that I usually use:
<root project dir>: (below this you'll find)
/src - location of all src files
/src/java - the location of the project specific java code
/src/examples - if need be (especially useful for frameworks and API's you wish to share) show example applications using the output of the /src/java code
/src/test - location of JUnit, jfcUnit and other test files to unit test your code (very important, should be done no matter what!!)
/lib - location of any 3rd party libraries you need, both for compilation and runtime. Keep in mind that your build script may pull only a subset of these libraries in for runtime. For example, the /src/test that uses JUnit will require the junit.jar file. You won't need this for runtime, so your build script sets up a compile classpath with junit.jar, and a runtime classpath that will exclude junit.jar, perhaps others.
/dist - the location that the build script puts all distributable files. This would be any executable .jar file, any .zip file, perhaps other files necessary for distribution. If you were making a large application and planned to burn it to disk, instead of a single .zip file, you may actually build the sub-dirs below the /dist/<your app> type of dir, so that you can simply burn from that <your app> dir to the root of the cd.
/build - location of all compiled classes, including from /src/java, /src/examples, /src/test.
/build/classes - the location of compiled java code
/build/test - the location of test results, including perhaps test data to be used by the test code, and possibly the output dir of test reports
- /build/test/reports for example for output of test reports.
/doc - location of any documentation, including the JavaDoc produced by the build script from your src.
<project root> - this is the location of your build.xml ant build script, if need be. The build script, as you would learn in the book, is set up so that you can move it anywhere and it will still build your project correctly. You may opt to put it in the /scripts dir instead and keep the project root super clean.
/misc or /etc - common location to put things like properties files, misc files used to build projects. For example, in the building of a EJB application (.jar or .ear file), you will no doubt need the META-INF/application.xml file. Or in a .jar file you need a special META-INF/manifest.mf file. The /misc or /etc dir is a good candidate for these types of things. You can even package it up in your app so that in the .jar file you have /etc/properties/somepropertyfile.properties, and in your code do a simple getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("/etc/properties/somepropertyfile.properties") to always ensure you pull it from this directory. OR, your build script can "change" the location this file goes. It is all up to you.
That is what I use for all my projects, the dir structure anyway. What you do to build your .jar/.zip files is up to you. You usually don't need to pull the /src dir, the /dist dir, etc into your .jar/.zip files. Normally you'll have the compiled classes at the root. So in your project dir on your disk, you may have <project root>/build/classes/java/org/mycompany/ui/Main.class, and in your .jar file it would simply be <root of .jar file>/org/mycompany/ui/Main.class, and your build file can easily "change" the root path (using <zipfileset prefix=""> task) to change the path of any file. But more of that can be learned in that book and by looking up resources on the net. The Ant JavaDoc API is very good at explaining most of these as well, and there are TONS of ant scripts in most projects to look at for examples.
The file creation, well, as I said Ant has built in tasks you can use to create .jar files, .zip files, etc. All of that is all built in to how Ant works.
As for java.exe, well, in a professional app, you usually do one of two things. You either write a simple C/C++/Delphi/some other languages .exe wrapper (for windows) that internall executes the java.exe and runs the JVM to hide the window, as well as provide a .exe file to look more "native", or you run javaw.exe, which hides the Console output window for most apps. NOTE: if you create a .bat shortcut on your desktop to javaw.exe, you will STILL get a console window that shows up. ALL shortcuts to .bat files will always create a console window. Many java developers don't understand why they run javaw.exe from a shortcut on their desktop and still see the console window.
Now, hopefully that helped a bit. But if not, or you still have questions, I am watching this thread so fire away and I'll help more.

On my ipad, is it possible to use stylus or fingers to copy and paste a specific area on a document, PDF., web page, etc... It would be great to pull specific areas out of a PDF. And paste into a note app I'm thinking of downloading. Thank you.

Yes. I do it using Adobe Reader for PDF files, Pages for Word files, I can copy from Safari or iCab Mobile and paste into another app. I use my finger even though I do have a stylus. I rarely use my stylus anymore, but yes it's possible.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Do you ever buy one person out of a family plan?

I am having major problems with my phone while living in La Crosse. I am originally from Marshfield, and am currently in a contract with Cellcom. Do you ever buy one person out of a family contract??

I am originally from Marshfield, WI (54449) but I am attending college in La Crosse (54601). I have pretty good service, but my phone is constantly roaming because Cellcom, which is my provider, does not have towers in this area. I occasionally don't receive phone calls, and a lot of the time have delayed text messages. Its super frustrating. I am using a samsung galaxy s4. I am currently running off of U.S. Cellular phone towers. I do also know that you guys are the best providers coverage wise for this area here in La Crosse. I just do not really want to have any issues considering the fact that I am away from home. If there is anything you can do for me please let me know!
Thank you

If the grayscale looks ok on screen, you are probably not setting up your print correctly. What OS? What printer?

HT5654 How do i pull my phone out of recovery mode if itunes will not load the iPhone support check?

I need someones help and can tell me the reason why my itunes is flashing error 23 when I go to pull my phone out of recovery mode

Hi there SarahM426,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
