Question about: "How to Use Layers in Elements 2.0"

I have gone over the tutorial "Harness the Power of Layers" and I can not figure out how to open the example the tutorial is showing me. It says: Open the "start.psd" file in the Tutorials folder located inside the Adobe Photoshop Elements Application folder and a wooden doll appears and instructs you how to add the accessories.(hat, bag, shadow, etc.)
Where do I find or open "start.psd" and the doll with the accessories? Also, is there online instructions that show or animate the steps involved in "layers" using Elements 2.0, which I'd pay for. Thank you, Robert

Chris, I know this is simple, but I'm having a mental block :-(
Are you saying go to "My Computer" where I find "C:Program Files/Adobe/Photoshop Element 2/Tutorials ? I can open Adobe Photoshop Elements. I just can't find "start.psd" in the tutorials link... Can you explain it another way ? Thanks
oh, sorry, yes I'm running Windows XP, 1.5 RAM

  • Question about How to Use Custom CellEditors

    Hi:
    I have been trying to implement something like this: I have a JPanel, and when you double-click a particular spot on it, I want a textbox to appear. Currently, I am implementing it by using an undecorated JDialog that contains a JTextField in it (such that the text field occupies all the space in the dialog, i.e. you can't even tell that there is a dialog). This seems like a hack to me.
    Another alternative that I have been thinking about is using layered panes, and hiding the textfield below the jpanel, and only bringing it to the front when the user double-clicks.
    Then, I stumbled onto custom celleditors. Now, it seems that everyone is using them in JTables, JLists, JComboBoxes, etc. and I was wondering if it is something that I can use with a JPanel.
    Can anyone comment on the implementations I am considering, as well as using custom celleditors with a JPanel?
    Thanks in advance,
    LordKelvan

    Still don't understand your requirement. Does the text field stay there or disappear after the data is entered? If it disappears, then how do you change the value, do you have to click on the exact same pixel again?
    Maybe you could use a MouseListener and then display a JOptionPane or JDialog to prompt for the information. Or if you want to display a JTextField then add a JTextField to the panel and then when the user enters the data by using the enter key or by clicking elsewhere on the GUI you remove the text field from the panel.

  • How shall i do it ? Complex question about how to use the airport express or time capsule ?

    Hello All,
    Right now i have an access point:
    1/ A mercury router (cheap and old)
    2/ Airport Express
    Do you advice me to use it to replace my cheap old router (mercury) or to pair it with this main old router ? (however i tried to without any success)
    3/ Time Capsule
    Can i use it to relay the signal from the Airport Express to extend the range  of the wifi?
    Can i use it to stream music to my B/W M1 speakers directly ? (I will connect by USB the BW M1 to the time capsule) and would like to be able to play music this way. Is this in anyway possible ?
    Many thanks for your reply !

    ok, i might be wrong but here goes:
    you should attach your modem to your time capsule: your time capsule will act as not only your time machine but also your main wireless transmitter.
    you set it up using "Airport Utility" which is inside the "utilites" folder, which is inside your applications folder.
    this connects your mac wirelessly to the internet.
    to stream music to your speakers you then set up the airport plug to (a) join the existing network (which you set up on the time capsule) and then (b) set it up to stream music to your speakers. again, this is done using "airport utility". do it AFTER you have set up the time capsule.
    you will then be able to use itunes to stream music to your speakers. from itunes on your computer you will be able to chose from the bottom right hand side of the window whether you play the music on your computer or wirelessly into your B+W speakers...
    some notes:
    1. you won't be able to connect the airport plug by USB to your speakers as the airport plug doesn't have a USB output. It has only analogue and optical.
    2. although your time capsule has USB you cannot stream music into it or through it. there's some basic guidance here:
    http://www.apple.com/wifi/
    3. you may find that the sound quality [if you are playing apple lossless files or wav files) isn't as good as if the speakers were connected directly to your mac via USB.  this should be especially noticable because your speakers are so good!
    if the music you play is only mp3 or the stuff purchased from itunes then it shouldn't make too much of a difference.
    4. keep an eye out on the B+W website: there may come a time when you won't even have to use the airport plug, and you will be able to stream music straight to the speakers. i know that B+W have just done that with the new Zepellin speaker that they make.
    hope this helps...

  • One question about how to use JFrame

    Hello friends,
    I use a JFrame to show one webpage, I want to follow a link in this page by a new window, but when I used it, I find, each time I create a new window to follow a link, the old window will be nothing, what should I do?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Hello! I have a huge question about how can I get connected my iphone 4 with my car Is there any opption on find my car application? I have a Volvo xc60 and I want to be connected all the time with my iphone. Can I do that?

    Hello! I have a huge question about how can I get connected my iphone 4 with my car Is there any opption on find my car application? I have a Volvo xc60 and I want to be connected all the time with my iphone. Can I do that?

    Hello. I can say that you have a quite strange „huge question”… It’s non-sense to stay connected with your car which is hundreds miles away. Unless…
    I have a theory. You don’t want to controll your car, you want to controll somebody who is driving the car. Volvo XC 60 is a nice family car, usually used by married men between age of 35-45, probably with small children, so it’s very unlikely that you want to controll your teanage kid, mainly because probably even if you would give him/her to drive the car in the neighborhoud, I don’t think that he/she would be „several hundred miles away”…  If your child is not young teneage anymore, and he/she has his/her own life, but you want to control him/her, that is sick… So I am convinced that you want to controll your husband who probably travelling often! Am I wright?
    Isnt’t nice at all! Would you like if you would be monitorized in such way? I bet you don’t!
    Anyway, iPhone is smart, you can use for many things, but come on, you really were thinking that there is such kind of application???
    What could you do it's to put in the car a GPS survelling system, however I don't think that you could do it without your husband knowledge, otherwise he won't be able to start the engine...

  • A few questions about how ZPM works.

    We have patch management (in ZCM 11.2.2), but honestly don't use it much. I have a few questions about how it works that might make me use it more, if I understand it more.
    If I deploy a patch (or a set of patches), it creates a bundle for that deployment. That bundle seems to include actions that deploy the actual patch bundles (correct?). Do I have to recreate a new deployment bundle every time I want to push a new patch? i.e. If I push a Java update, and a month later, a new one comes out, do I build out a new bundle with the new patch in it, or do I modify the old one?
    Once the patch is deployed, can I safely delete that deployment bundle, or should they just pile up?
    Is there a way to "auto-approve" patches? Lets say I always want a group of machines to have the latest Adobe Flash Player patches. Can I set up ZPM to automatically cache and push the latest patches for a specific product, or do I have to manually remediate each patch? (I'm thinking of how MS's WSUS does "auto-approval")
    I see most packages aren't cached in list, but occasionally, a patch is cached without me touching it. Why? Can I change what gets automatically cached?
    Thanks for any help/answers you can provide.

    For #1, (assuming you're not using baselines), you would check the new version of the patch (vulnerability) and do a new deployment.
    #2 - once you're satisified that the machines are deployed (or the best to your ability) you can delete the DEPLOYMENT package. It doesn't delete the actual vulnerability bundles to my knowledge. That's why it's a good idea to name your bundle deployments with something meaningful, IMO (and maybe include a nice desription).
    #3 - currently I don't believe this is possible. I know you can probably configure it to auto-download the patches, but not auto-deploy everything. Given the propensity for software to wreck other things (hello MS .NET patches), this is probably not a good idea. At least I'd never auto-download and auto-deploy any patches without testing them first, and certainly take my servers a little more cautiously than my workstations.
    #4 - I think you can configure what's cached, but I could be wrong.
    I know there's a lot of improvements coming in the pipeline, and it doesn't hurt to "vote" for your enhancements via the enhancement system (more work for Shaun--haha)

  • 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.

    Klaus,
    If you download from http://www.ilivid.com/ then you get a dmg file with the iLivid application and, oddly enough, VLC.
    I'm not about to open the application on my machine, however!
    To the OP: just download the disk image file, double-click it and it will mount like a disk and drag the iLivid application to your application folder. Do so at your own risk - it just looks fishy to me.

  • Question about openning files using SDK 10.

    I have written a Plug-In for SDK 9 that works wonderfully. One of the functions is for the user to be able to page (Next/Previous) between PDF files on our server. This functionality now longer works without crashing Acrobat 10. All I am doing is creating the URL path to the next/previous PDF, creating a CustomFileSys with the path and calling AVDocOpenFromFile.
    Does this no longer work with Acrobat 10 SDK?
    Thanks!

    Should work fine, AFAIK.
    For this level of issue, I would open a formal support request with developer support.

  • Round trip workflow with proxies between Premiere and AE / a more general question about how these programs work?

    Hi all,
    I'm new to editing with proxies in Premiere and have some questions about how to handle the relationship with After Effects. Say I have a rough cut (with proxies) and I want to send it to AE to do some effects. The simplest thing to do seems to be to replace the proxies with the originals in Premiere, send the project to AE and do my thing. But if I then want to send the project back to Premiere, it will involve the original files, which are too machine-intensive for me to edit. In theory, it seems like there should be a way to send the project with original footage to AE, do effects, send it back to Premiere, and then replace it with proxies to do further editing while retaining the effects.
    This leads to a confusion about how AE works. When I do an effect, am I correct in assuming that it does nothing to the original file? If that's the case, it seems like it shouldn't matter (in the editing stage) what file AE "applies" an effect to (proxy or original). But I feel like there's a hitch in this workflow. The same question could also be asked about going back and forth in Speed Grade.
    Perhaps there is no real answer to this and the best option is to save effects and grading for after I have picture lock, but sometimes that's not entirely possible or convenient, etc.
    Hopefully this makes some sense—It's a little hard to explain.
    Thanks.

  • Another one question about how to download applet (not using external tool)

    Hi
    i write tool for downloading applet on card. I use apdu trace from NXP eclipse plugin as source of information and i read also about cap-file format in Java Card Virtual Machine specification. And i have questions about data transferred by LOAD command.
    As example - from apdu trace i see that transferred data are "C4820E33 DATA1 DATA2". Full length of transferred data is 0x2EE2.
    C4 - OK, this is "Load File Data Block" tag as specified in Global Platform
    820E33 - OK, this length of tag, =0x0E33
    DATA1 - sequence of cap-file components: Header.cap, Directory.cap, Import.cap, Applet.cap, Class.cap, Method.cap, StaticField.cap, ConstantPool.cap, RefLocation.cap. Length of DATA1 is 0x0E33, i.e. DATA1 = 'C4'-tag value.
    DATA2 - sequence of two cap-file components: Descriptor.cap and Debug.cap. These components are out of 'C4'-tag.
    the questions mentioned above... here they are:
    1. Global Platform does not define any data in LOAD command except 'E2' and 'C4' tag. Why DATA2 is transferred out of any tags?
    2. Whether the sequence of cap-file components is important? i.e. Can i load Header.cap, Directory.cap etc. in other order than i see in DATA1 field from apdu-trace?
    3. Debug.cap seems to be optional component. And what about Descriptor.cap component? Need i load it on card?

    666 wrote:
    1. Global Platform does not define any data in LOAD command except 'E2' and 'C4' tag. Why DATA2 is transferred out of any tags?Because the components are either optional or only required when communicating with a JCRE that has debugging capabilities. I assume you ran the project in JCOP Tools in debug mode against the simulator? If you did this against a real card it would fail as it does not have an instrumented JCRE capable of debugging code. You could try running the project as opposed to debugging to see the difference.
    2. Whether the sequence of cap-file components is important? i.e. Can i load Header.cap, Directory.cap etc. in other order than i see in DATA1 field from apdu-trace?Yes it is. It is defined in the JCVM specification available from the Oracle website.
    3. Debug.cap seems to be optional component. And what about Descriptor.cap component? Need i load it on card?No, it is optional and is not referenced by any other CAP file component.

  • Some questions about how to change scenes

    i have something like the following:

    </Scene>main loop (cotroller/main.java):
    public class main extends Application{

            launch(main.class, args);
        public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception{
            stage.setTitle(CtrlLanguage.get(CtrlLanguage.TITLE));
            CtrlMainMenu main = new CtrlMainMenu();
            Scene scene = main.main();          //don't know how to make Scene scene = (Scene)FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("MainMenu.fxml")); work on here since MainMenu.fxml is in view/main while the main class is in controller and ended up putting CtrlMainMenu in the view although is not very correct
            stage.setScene(scene);
            stage.setWidth(1080);
            stage.setHeight(720);
            stage.show();
    }view controller (view/main/CtrlMainMenu.java):
    public class CtrlMainMenu{
        //other buttons actions
        public Scene main() throws Exception{
            return (Scene)FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("MainMenu.fxml"));
        @FXML protected void Start(ActionEvent event){
        @FXML protected void Options(ActionEvent event){
        @FXML protected void Exit(ActionEvent event){
            System.exit(0);          //is there any other way to finish the program than using a system.exit?
    }got few questions currently:
    1. i'd like to be able to keep using CtrlMainMenu for other buttons while the ones that appear there go to the main (since will be reusing those classes from other scenes)
    tried adding fx:controller on panes instead of the scene, but it doesnt work at all (it crashes) else directly in CtrlMainMenu change the scenes of the stage, but then, i have to send the stage to every controller i use? (or how do i know the stage of the scene?)
    and in the case of options, i'd like after done, go back to the previous scene, is that possible? if so, how?
    2.if i want to implement languages, how do i do to change the text? tried with setText() but depending on where do i put it, it crashes, so dont know where do i have to put it
    3.im doing a game that may have different number of players, so, is there some way to erase/hide/add data from a gridpane with fxml?

    1. ok, found the way to change scenes, with this way:
    @FXML protected void Start(ActionEvent event) throws Exception{
         Node node = (Node)event.getSource();
         Stage stage = (Stage)node.getScene().getWindow();
         Scene scene = (Scene)FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("../view/main/MainMenu.fxml"));     //this is just an example, will change to go to another scene
         stage.setScene(scene);
         stage.show();
    }but now i have another problem, when i click on the button the stage scene is changed, but the scene is transformed to a very small one at the top left (the size seems the same as when i dont put the set width/height on the stage when creating it), the stage size remains the same, and when i resize the window, it gets "repaired"
    the options, i thought on using a pane over the current pane so this way instead of going back would be just removing that new pane, would that work well?
    2. found about languages that is by using <Label text="%myText"/> and java.util.ResourceBundle but don't know how to use it, can someone provide me an example, please?
    3. still haven't looked on it...

  • Questions about Indexing and Using an Indexing POA

    Although I have only about 50 users, at least 15 of them have in excess of 100,000 messages in their accounts and the POA (version 7.0.2) is regularly slowing to a crawl. (I just know that plans for revolution are fomenting!) I have embarked on a campaign to reduce these accounts by archiving everything off to get mail accounts down to 3000 or fewer pieces. I have achieved user buy-in, but have worked on only a few users so far.
    In another closely related thread, it was suggested to me that the PO speed issues relate to broken indexes. And I suspect that given so many messages, the indexes were never getting fully rebuilt with the default QF POA settings. I am trying to fix that situation in addition to reducing mail account sizes. So, I have set up a second POA on another server and dedicated it to the indexing task. The /qfinterval is set for 1 hour, other /qf switches at default. The POA-QF does no mail delivery, but it does do nightly user upkeep.
    The POA-QF seems to be steadily working away and making progress at reducing the number of unindexed messages. However, I have questions about what I am seeing and what more I can do:
    1. Is the progress I am seeing real progress? For example I have a user with over 100,000 messages to be indexed and every time I check the logs, the count drops by about 500 messages per hourly QF cycle. I assume that if I just let it keep running, it will eventually get caught up and fixed. Not only with this user, but with all the others as well. Will my patience (and theirs) be rewarded? Are there any gotchas I need to prepare for?
    2. One user has recently had virtually all of her messages successfully moved to archive. I can see them in the Archive, and do not see them in the online account. However, now over a week later, QF still shows >130,000 items still left to index for that user. The POA-QF is making slow, steady progress reducing that number, but why is this user's QF count still so high? Does it just need more time, or is there something amiss for this user?
    3. I may want to rebuild indexes for single users from scratch. I have seen the TID 3105742 which tells how to do this: Essentially you turn off mail delivery functions, and make some other switch changes to dedicate the POA to indexing for just a single user, and then you let the POA rebuild the indexes. The implication of that scenario is that the POA is now enjoying exclusive access to the user's databases.
    If I want to use my secondary POA-QF to rebuild a user's index from scratch, does the main POA have to be offline and the user out of GWise? That is, Does the QF process require exclusive access in order to rebuild indexes from scratch?
    Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.

    Set this switch for this indexing POA - /qflevel=999 - this will index
    everything in one run. It will take a long time, but with no qflevel switch you
    are indeed only indexing 500 messages at a time, and if the user has that much
    mail, it might never really catch up.

    This is odd, because really the index count should drop to nothing, but with the
    above switch this might get resolved as well.

    Not really - the POA is not enjoying exclusive access to the user's database,
    the indexer is just avoiding an attempt to index anything else.

    No - QF never requires exclusive access. That said, you may find that an
    extremely vigorous QF can cause slowdowns for the user.
