Question about adjusting an image to compensate for an alpha black overlay

I don't know how accurate that title/question is but please hear me out and I'l explain it as best I can.
There is a touchscreen monitor in my car.
It allows custom background wallpapers to be loaded via USB.
The touchscreen automatically adds what would appear to be about a 25% alpha black layer in FRONT of the image so the touchscreen controls and icons are clearly visible.
The problem is, I don't know what values I'm supposed to adjust on my image in order to get it to look the same way it does on my computer screen.
Would you adjust the brightness?  Contrast?  Tint?  A combination of all of them?
Or is this simply not possible because the ~25% alpha black tint is placed OVER the wallpaper?
I'd really appreciate some advice.  I don't mind tinkering with the values and using trial and error but I don't want to waste my time if this simply isn't possible.

Just so it's clear, you're not going to be able to "brighten it up" so it looks just like the original - at least not completely so.  An image can only be as bright as bright white.  If that has been reduced by an overlay, you're not going to be able to make the original image "brighter than white" so as to compensate.  Maybe someday, when HDR image formats are common...
The car is darkening the image on purpose in order to make the locations of the controls more obvious.  I can't imagine why you'd want such a busy image as a background, since it makes the actual controls difficult to find.
I read an article today that says that testing has shown that automotive touch screens distract drivers as much as a 0.08 blood alcohol level.  And you're wanting to make it more difficult to find those controls.
Whatever you do, please be careful.

  • One question about Pricing and Conditions puzzle me for a long time!

    One question about Pricing and Conditions puzzle me for a long time.I take one example to explain my question:
    1-First,my sale order use pricing procedure RVAA01.
    2-Next,the pricing procedure RVAA01 have some condition type,such as EK01(Actual Costs),PR00(Price)....,and so on.
    3-Next,the condition type PR00 define the Access Sequences PR00 as it's Access Sequences.
    4-Next,the Access Sequences PR00 have some Condition tables,such as:
         table 118 : "Empties" Prices (Material-Dependent)
         table 5 : Customer/Material
         table 6 : Price List Type/Currency/Material
         table 4 : Material
    5-Next,I need to maintain Condition tables's Records.Such as the table 5(Customer/Material).I guess the sap would supply one screen for me to input the data of table 5.At this screen,the sap would ask me to select one table,such as table 5.When I select the table 5,the sap would go to the screen to let me input the data of table 5.But when I use the T-CODE VK31 or VK32 to maintain Condition tables's Record,I found it's total different from my guess:
    A-First,I can not found one place for me to open the table,such as table 5,to let me input the data?
    B-Second,For example,when I select the VK31->Discounts/Surcharges->By Customer/Material,the sap show the grid view at the right side.At the each line of the grid view,you need to select the Condition Type at the first field.And this make me confused very much.Why the sap need me to select one Condition Type but not the Condition table?To the normal logic,it ought not to select Condition table but not the Condition Type!
    Dear all,I'm a new one in sd.May be this is a very stupid question.But it did puzzle me for a long time.If any one can  explain this question in detail and let me understand the concept,I will appreciate him/her very much.Thank you.

    Hi,
    You said that you are using the T.codes VK31 or VK32.
    These transaction codes are used to enter condition records for standard condition types. As you can see a grid left side having all the standard condition types like price, discounts, taxes, frieghts.
    Pl check using T.code VK11 OR VK12 (change mode)
    Here you can enter the required condition type, in the intial screen. (like PR00, MWST, K004, K005 .....etc)
    After giving the condition type, press enter or click on Combinations icon on top of the screen. Then you can see all the condition tables which you maintained for that condition type. Like as you said table 118, table 5, table 6 and table 4.
    You can select any table and press enter, then you can go into the screen in which you have all the field cataglogues you maintained for that table. For example you selected combination of Customer/Material (table 5) then after you press enter then you can see customer field on top, and material fields.
    You can give all the required values and save the conditon record.
    Hope this is clear.
    REWARD IF HELPFUL.

  • Question about ZEN 4 imaging

    We are using ZENWorks 4 imaging (with IR5) and have been using the documents about automating the imaging process. The question that I have is when the workstation it reimaged and reboots, ZENWorks agent comes up with the windows that indicates that it is making changes to the computer and states not to log in till the machine reboots. I believe it is taking the ZIS information and putting this information back into the workstation. (workstation name etc). On windows 2000 the machine reboots without any problems when this process is complete. With Windows XP the machine does not seem to reboot. If the workstation is manually rebooted everything works fine. I have found that if the workstation is left for about 10 minutes, it will actually reboot on its own. Is there a way to have this reboot occur more quickly?

    Didn't know that this could be done. Where do I make those changes.
    Thanks.

    yes... you could disable the feature that you are directly able to login

    I had to do a bit of work on a transparent image that will sit on a black background. I noticed that once I put the image on it's background a bit some layer mask editing I did are showing up...this is where I didn't quite mask everything correctly.

    If you use File...Save for Web and choose the "PNG-8" option, you can select the matte colour to use:

  • Design question about when to use inner classes for models

    This is a general design question about when to use inner classes or separate classes when dealing with table models and such. Typically I'd want to have everything related to a table within one classes, but looking at some tutorials that teach how to add a button to a table I'm finding that you have to implement quite a sophisticated tablemodel which, if nothing else, is somewhat unweildy to put as an inner class.
    The tutorial I'm following in particular is this one:
    http://www.devx.com/getHelpOn/10MinuteSolution/20425
    I was just wondering if somebody can give me their personal opinion as to when they would place that abstracttablemodel into a separate class and when they would just have it as an inner class. I guess re-usability is one consideration, but just wanted to get some good design suggestions.

    It's funny that you mention that because I was comparing how the example I linked to above creates a usable button in the table and how you implemented it in another thread where you used a ButtonColumn object. I was trying to compare both implementations, but being a newbie at this, they seemed entirely different from each other. The way I understand it with the example above is that it creates a TableRenderer which should be able to render any component object, then it sets the defaultRenderer to the default and JButton.Class' renderer to that custom renderer. I don't totally understand your design in the thread
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=57&threadID=680674
    quite yet, but it's implemented in quite a bit different way. Like I was saying the buttonClass that you created seem to be creating an object of which function I don't quite see. It looks more like a method, but I'm still trying to see how you did it, since it obviously worked.
    Man adding a button to a table is much more difficult than I imagined.

  • Question about changing ID3 images

    Hey everyone. I recently changed my podcast artwork. I use Powerpress, so changing the MAIN artwork was quite easy. So for this question, I am referencing only the individual art that is displayed with each individual episode.
    I know that for iTunes to recognize a change in episode artwork, that it cannot have the same name as the previous. The new artwork embedded does have a new name but is it the artwork that needs a different name, or the entire mp3 that needs a new name? Once artwork becomes embedded as ID3 I'm not sure if it loses its name altogether. So I need to know specifically what needs a new name for iTunes to update my episode art? Pic name or mp3 name?
    Thanks for your time!

    Thanks for the response Roger.
    So just to be clear, I have changed the images embedded in my MP3s. I then re-uploaded them to Libsyn using the replace function. So I now have MP3s with the exact same name as before, but with a new image embedded. Are you saying iTunes will see the image change in each episode even though the name of my MP3 is exactly the same?
    So far, iTunes has immediately updated my main podcast image but all my individual episodes still have the old image.
    You can probably see what I'm talking about by searching iTunes for Netflix Junkies. You'll see that 'episodes' has different artwork than 'podcasts' in the search results. Do I just need to wait it out? Or rename my mp3s?
    Keep in mind, there is another podcast with the same name no artwork. This is not my podcast but someone else's.
    Thanks again!

  • Question about printing an image/control Using Report Generator

    The attached VI is an example of creating a report from a control or image. My problem is that when the control (xy graph) gets too large in the vertical direction it clips the image but, the horizontal is scaled to the width of the report. 
    First question is why does it scale in the horizontal and not the vertical? See the Test.pdf for what I am talking about. 
    Second, is it possible to control this behavior (edit/create an alternate for the Append Control Image to report or the Report VI's)?
    I have found many work around but ultimately it comes back to; why automatically scale one direction but not the other?
    For this application I don't mind that the graph is scaled down in the horizontal I just wish it would do the same thing in the vertical axis (I don't even want it to be a 1 to 1 zoom ratio, just fill the avalible report space).
    Thoughts?

    I agree all of the workarounds have limitations. One workaround, that I'm not sure if you have tried yet is change the numeric constant from 50 to 20 (I attached a picture showing which constant I am talking about). This seems to fix the issue just because the image never becomes larger than the report page itself.
    Let me know if that option creates any problems for you as well.

  • Questions about buying a new Mac Pro for 4k video editing.

    Hi everyone,
    I'm currently looking into buying a new mac pro and I have a few questions. I'm a filmmaker/freelance editor looking to get a system that can handle any/at least most 4k formats that I might throw at it, and will hopefully last me around 7 years or so, like my last mac pro has. I've saved up about $5,300 and am becoming more obsessed with getting it asap, but am willing to wait a bit and save up more if necessary. I also play the occasional elder scrolls or civilization game, and might run windows on the new system as well. So here are my questions:
    1. I've read rumors that a newer build could be released this year, with newer processors and graphics cards. Is there anything to point to when? I tend to buy things a month before a newer version is released, and I'd like to prevent myself from doing it this time around..
    Here's the Build I'm looking at:
    6 core
    2 D700s
    base ram to be upgraded myself to 32Gb (2x16Gb cards leaving 2 slots empty to expand to 64Gb later)
    512Gb-1Tb internal hd
    2. Should I be considering the 8 core? I'm not too excited about the additional $1500, but I want a system that will last.
    3. Is getting the two 16Gb chips of ram and leaving two slots empty a bad idea?
    4. I currently work with FCP studio 2 and love it. Not sure whether to go with FCP X, or adobe. Any thoughts?
    5. I'm not finding many deals for cheaper ram and hard drives. OWC's prices seem to be comparable to Mac's. I want to do the ram so I have room to upgrade to 64Gb later, but are there any hard drives out there that would make it worth upgrading it myself?
    I appreciate any insights you might have. I plan on getting a decent raid and 4k monitor in the next year or so, but for now just want a base system that will keep me editing and will be ready for 4k when I take that next step.

    The late 2013 Mc Pro uses Intel Xeon ECC processors (error correction), and as far as I know Intel has not announced any newer Intel Xeon processors than those in the late 2013 Mac Pro.  I would not expect to see an update to the 2013 Mac Pro until the end of 2015 at the earliest and probably later than that.
    If time is not an issue, then you should be quite happy with the 6 core 2013 Mac Pro.  It will do an excellent job with 4K video footage. And, yes, I would suggest getting the best raid system you can afford.  That is actually more important than processor speed since I/O is frequently the bottleneck when doing multi camera video or 4K video.
    I have the latest version of Adobe's Premiere Pro 2014  CC installed on my late 2013 Mac Pro and i have used it a bit without problems.  However, I find it much much slower to edit with than FCP X.  Also be advised that if you Google you will find several individuals on the Adobe Forums who purchased the late 2013 Mac Pro and have not been able to use it with Premiere Pro CC because of either a hardware incompatibility or software issues between Premiere Pro CC and BMD's Resolve.  It is quite possible that I have not experienced these problems because I have not made very demanding projects with Premiere Pro CC on my 2013 Mac Pro.
    I strongly recommend FCP X.  Apple released FCP X before it was ready, and many early users were unwilling to take the time to learn how to use this very different NLE which is not track based.  Apple has over the last 3 years since FCP X was released, issued more than 10 updates (all free), and the program is stable and blazingly fast.  I urge you to check out the FCP X training offered by Ripple Training and/or Larry Jordan. Both are inexpensive, and worth every cent.  Watch their training videos and you will be up to speed in FCP X in no time at all, and you will wish you had switched a long time ago.
    If you can afford the 1 TB of PCie internal flash storage on your Mac Pro, then by all means get it.  For me 1TB is well worth the cost.
    As far as editing 4K video, the format of the video will be important to the ease of editing.  For example, I am able to edit in its native format (XVAC S) several streams of 4K video form my Sony FDR-AX100 with no problems.  If I were editing Sony's XVAC format used in their professional 4K cameras, that might pose a problem that would require transcoding.  Similarly for other 4K formats. XVAC S is an easy format to edit natively because it is essentially a high bit rate h.264 format.
    Best of luck on whatever you decide to do, and happy editing.

  • Question about displaying an image among columns in a report

    Hi folks,
    I've looked at examples that I've come across, but I guess I'm missing something. I have a PL/SQL procedure which returns a sql statement for a report.

    Since posting I tried that too, here is the code I'm using. It always results in a

  • Question about file size when using "Export for Web"

    Hi!
    I created a .mov file and worked to get a great balance between file size and quality so that I could deliver it via the web and make it easier for end users to see the video on a slower connection.
    My question: When I use "Export for Web," my .mov file is converted into a very large .m4v file--more than double the size of the original file. I know that this export option is to optimize the file for a wide variety of users/internet speeds. Am I correct in guessing that the end size is not an issue? I would post the .mov file instead, but I really like the option of embedding into a html page along with the "click to play" option.
    Bottom line--is it better to post the smaller .mov file that i originally started with or to go ahead and link to the bigger .m4v file that was created with the "Export for Web" option?

    "Export for Web" is a feature of QuickTime Pro and it makes 4 files and the html page code for easy copy/paste Web page editing.
    The very first file is called a "reference movie" and it links to the other 3 files (56kbps, 900kbps and 1.5Mbps). It, and the page code, "read" the connection speed of the viewing hardware and "serve up" the correct file based on that connection speed.
    In nearly all cases the "Desktop" version would still be smaller in file size than the original source. The times the file would "increase" in file size would be when an already compressed was used as the source file. You can find out more about your source file by opening it in QuickTime Player and viewing the Movie Inspector window information.
    There are dozens of other html "tricks" that could be used if your source file is already compressed but you want a different display size:
    Page code to show "aspect" or scale="tofit". This code allows values "outside" of those found in the actual QuickTime file be used for the Web page display. A 320X240 QuickTime .mov file looks pretty good at double size (640X480) but the file size would still be that of the source file.
    "Poster Movie" is another html trick that loads the Web based file directly in the QuickTime Player application (bypassing Web page layout restrictions). These files are also known as "Presentation Movies".
    Another method is the QuickTime Media Link file (.qtl). These are simple text based files that are used as a "direct link". These use simple XML (Extensible Markup Language) and are easily created in any text editing application. The simple syntax has amazing control over a simple QuickTime .mov file. You can launch (and quit) the QuickTime Player, display at other dimensions and even embed "links" inside the display.
    Some of my files as examples:
    http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/Lemon_Trees/ a "Poster Movie" style.
    http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/.Public/RedneckTexasChristmas.qtl
    A QuickTime Media Link file. A tiny file should download to the viewing machine, launch QuickTime Player, present the movie and it even includes a "link" to my Web page.
    Edit: It appears you must now double click the .qtl download to launch QuickTime.

  • Question about dynamically changing image source

    hi, this might be a stupid question that i've simply never
    seen, but i have a picture on a page that, when the user clicks a
    link below, needs to change to an altered picture. probably very
    simple, i just need code that will change the image source of a
    named image by clicking a link. thanks for any help you can give
    me.

    You can use a remote rollover technique that uses css
    (nesting one or more elements inside an anchor link) and absolute
    positioning, or JavaScript.
    Here is a quick JavaScript to achieve this effect:
    xhtml code
    <head>
    <script src="external.js" language = "javascript" type =
    "text/javascript"></script>
    </head>
    <body>

    Page</a></p>
    <img src="images/image1_off.gif" width="100" height="20"
    id="arrowImg" alt="arrow" />
    </body>
    external JavaScript file
    window.onLoad = rolloverInit;

    this.Link.onmouseover = rollOver;
    thisLink.outImage = new Image();
    this.Link.outImage.src = this.Image.src;
    thisLink.overImage = new Image();
    thisLink.overImage.src = "images/" + thisLink.id +
    "_on.gif";
    function rollOver() {
    this.imgToChange.src = this.overImage.src;
    function rollOut() {
    this.imageToChange.src = this.outImage.src;
    There is a lot going on here but if you know a little
    JavaScript it will be failry easy to work it out. The important
    thing is to note the file layout, naming conventions and image
    constructs. Make sure the ids, etc are matched in the functions and
    html code.
    This technique shows the user what the image will become if
    they click the text when they mouse over the text link. This is
    handy for showing a preview of an image. You can alter the script
    to change the image without a preview if you don't want that
    effect.

  • Questions about the best sound card & speakers for my setup...

    Greetings,
    I am building another high-end dekstop PC. I'm looking for a NICE sound card and a set of 7.1 speakers. I currently have a X-Fi Fatalty FPS card, but was thinking of selling it and getting an X-Fi Prelude since it has optical out. I was also thinking about a set of Gigaworks S750 speakers, until I realized they don't have optical in. I was hoping someone more familiar with PC Audio could help me out. I have read several things (including the sticky/float post) about digital audio, but I still have a few questions.
    1. What are the advantages/disadvantages of Digital Audio? (I have heard it sounds worse?!)
    2. What is the best way to encode/decode audio? (Possibly keep it all Digital and not decode at all?)
    3. Is EAX, Alchemy, CMSS compatible with Digital?
    4. Why would Creative's top of the line S750 speakers not have Digital In?
    I will be running Windows Vista and using the PC to play a lot of Games (including EAX), listen to music (mostly MP3 and WMA), and watch DVDs (I want FULL surround sound support). I want to have the ability to CMSS upmix stuff also. Can someone recommend something for me...
    -Thank you

    Could this be a problem?
    2 different background images defined for the same container?
    #wrapper #topContent {
    background-image: url(Images/Anim.gif);
    and...
    #topContent {
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-image: url(../images/Index.jpg);
    height: 208px;
    Just a thought..........

    | That's it, John. Thanks.... It makes sense now that Joe
    pointed out to
    me
    | the background image-ness of that! I had just copied and
