Question about selecting parts of Automation...lowering volume as whole

Here is what I'm trying to do. i have a piano part that i automated pretty good. Now, I realize in relation to the mix the automation is a bit too loud. How do i highlight the part of the automation, select it as a whole, and then drag the entire automation down 2-3db? I tried clicking on the marquee tool, and that highlights the part, now I can't figure out how to apply the volume reduction to it all, keeping the relative relationship in tact, simply lowering the volume altogther!! Thanks guys.
-Mike

try holding cmd and click on the area you want to adjust the automation setting,it will select it all and you will be able to move it as a whole
hope this is the right key as i'm not in front of logic and a mac at the mo....

Question about selecting vector paths in Photoshop

Hi, I have a question about selecting path points in photoshop.
This is the setup. I have a vector shape layer (the redi circle). but that's placed inside a group with a vector mask (the black pentagon). What I want to do is select parts of the red circle using click and drag) so I can modify portions of the circle).
This is Photoshop's behavior as I've noticed it. Photoshop likes to select the shapes for you, and will target layers on its own when you use the Path Selection Tool. It tends to want to select the top most shape. If I target the shape layer first, I can use the Direct Selection tool to select individual points. I can add selected points bu shift+clicking.This is all well and good.
If I try to select multiple points using click+drag though, it gets a bit weird.
If I try to click+drag to select multiple points from within the vector mask (from the black), it will fail and select the vector mask. If i try to click+drag to select multiple points from outside the vector mask (from the white), then it will allow me to select points from my vector shape like i intended.
I could also shift click to hide the vector mask, and it will work the way i want.
Is there an easy way to tell photoshop not to auto target vector shapes? or a better way to select paths inside vector masks?
Thanx for any input

Sure.
Simply click once on the vector mask for the shape layer (red circle) to highlight that vector mask in the Layers Panel. Then when you click-drag the anchors of that path will be selected, not the group's path.
If you have no mask highlighted, Photoshop assumes it should select the first path it comes in contact with.

One question about Selection screen

Hi experts,
I am writing a report, on the selection screen, I need to input the file path and then do the file upload.
My question is about how to check the file path I put is correct or not? If it is incorrect, I want to get a message and the cursor still in the field and don't jump to the next page.
How can I do like that?
Any one has any suggestion, please help me.
Thanks in advance.

Question about selection table analysis

Dear All,
My last post was closed by the moderator so I would like to ask a different question. Please apologize if my question is trivial.
1. There is a selection table seltab with one fields of type I, with the following contents:
I     GT     3     0
I     NE     8     0
The literature eg. ABAP Objects says that the control statement like IF or CASE can be used with logical expression IN.
Now I am checking if the variable test fulfills the conditions defined by the selection table.
DO 10 TIMES.
IF test IN seltab.
    write test.
ENDIF
test = test + 1.
ENDDO.
As a result I get a full list of values.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
2. Now, if the table contains
I     GT     3     0
I get
4 5 6 7 8 10 as expected
3. If the table seltab contains
I     NE     3     0
the result also seems to be ok
1 2 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
The final question is. Is it true that the logical expression IN cannot be used with IF for more complex data comparisions?
Thanks,
Grzegorz

Well, the contents
I GT 3 0
I NE 8 0
I read as:
the variable fulfills the condition if is greater than 3 and not equal 8
test > 3 and
test <> 8
which should give the result from the example above a list
4 5 6 7 9 10
What is wrong with my analysis?
Regards,
Grzegorz

Question about brightening images and automating layers

I've been using Photoshop CS5 for a while now but there are still a few things I'm wondering about.
The first is about brightening an image without adding or reducing too much contrast at the same time. If I increase the Brightness slider in the Brightness/Contrast window it often adds too much unwanted contrast and will wash out parts of the image or cause too much saturation. Same thing when using Curves to brighten the image. On the other hand I've found that using Levels to brighten the image reduces too much contrast and desaturates the image too much...and then when I add more contrast in afterward, parts of the image will become washed out again. So far the best solution I've found has been to brighten the images with Shadows/Highlights, but this will often pose its own set of problems by creating or eliminating shadows in a way that doesn't flatter the image. It can also add too much contrast in some cases. Is there any other way around this that I'm missing? Or is this all to be expected when brightening images? The only other workaround I've found has been to add in separate un-affected layers for the areas of the picture that become too washed out when the brightness is increased but then there's always a problem of getting those parts of the picture to match up with the rest afterward.
The second is about having layers for each change applied to an image. Is there any way to have each change that is applied to an image automatically also be made into its own separate layer? For example, if I sharpen a part of the image that would automatically become layer 2, then if I adjusted the saturation that would automatically become layer 3 and so on. I know the History Panel does something very similar to this, and that's the type of thing I'm looking for, but I'd like each of those changes being made into a layer instead of just a recorded history state. This way, for example, I could individually adjust each change with the opacity slider and compare the image with and without some of the changes by clicking the eye icon next to each layer. I know new layers can be created manually but I'm looking for some way to automate it.
Thanks for the help.

You seem to have no firm grasp yet on the concept of non-destructive image editing using Photoshop’s existing options, specifically Adjustment Layers, Smart Objects/Smart Filters and Layer Masks.
The Layers structure is a much more valuable tool than the History in my opinion.
Instead of applying an Adjustment or Filter destructively you might want to try applying it as an Adjustment Layer or a Smart Filter (either with its own Mask or on a copy of the Smart Object with a Layer Mask, because all Smart Filters applied to one instance of a Smart Object must share one Mask).
Those Layers can subsequently be changed with regard to Opacity, Blend Mode etc. or the Adjustment and Filter settings themselves.

Help, question about "select ... for update nowait"

There is a proc code. In the beginning of the code, I used a SQL "select ... for update nowait" in order to prevent from another proc executing at the same time. When the case happens, "-54, ORA-00054: resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT specified" will be printed in the screen.
But there is a question: I need to print sth to indicate "another proc is running". I used "if (sqlca.sqlcode == -54)" as precondition, such as:
if (sqlca.sqlcode == -54) {
printf("There is another proc running.\n");
However, this line will not be printed. I doubt that the code quits directly when using "select ... for update nowait" so as not to set value (-54) to sqlca.sqlcode.
So, could you suggest whether there is another way that I can use to print "There is another proc running" when another proc is running?
Thx a lot for your kindly reply.

Yes, that link. Scroll down a bit and you will see:
The calling application gets a PL/SQL exception, which it can process using the error-reporting functions SQLCODE and SQLERRM in an OTHERS handler. Also, it can use the pragma EXCEPTION_INIT to map specific error numbers returned by raise_application_error to exceptions of its own, as the following Pro*C example shows:
EXEC SQL EXECUTE
/* Execute embedded PL/SQL block using host
variables v_emp_id and v_amount, which were
assigned values in the host environment. */
DECLARE
null_salary EXCEPTION;
/* Map error number returned by raise_application_error
to user-defined exception. */
PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT(null_salary, -20101);
BEGIN
raise_salary(:v_emp_id, :v_amount);
EXCEPTION
WHEN null_salary THEN
INSERT INTO emp_audit VALUES (:v_emp_id, ...);
END;
END-EXEC;
This technique allows the calling application to handle error conditions in specific exception handlers.

Beginner's question about scripting and deployment automation

I am new to the SAP and BusinessObjects world. I do production support for BusinessObjects XI R3.1. One of my functions is to deploy Universe.unv and WEBI Report files from development into QA and production. This is currently a manual process involving downloading files and lots of key strokes and mouse clicks using the BusinessObjects Client Tools. My question ->: is there a way to automate this process? Can I do this with the SAP scripting wizard? I am familiar with many different scripting and programming languages, I just need to be pointed in the right direction.
Thanks for your help!

Question about selecting only one tree at a time...Please help

Hi , guys
does anybody know how to make only one tree selected in an application which shows three trees simultaniously.
Untill now I can select both trees at a time (the third one is not implemented yet ) This is probably so because the trees are showed in different panels I have no idea....Please give me some hints or ideas.
I thank you in advance.

write a TreeSelectionListener which knows all Trees in your application. add the listener to all three Trees. within the valueChanged method, check the events source to evaluate the tree, which fired the event. close all selections of all trees ( method clearSelection() ) except the one, which fired the event.

Question about select query.

Hi,
i want to insert the result of query to a table,
all the fields are corresponding except one field.
is there a way to this or i need to do
insert ( f1 , f2 ....)
i did this way
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE It_Return_Date
but i have another field which i want to insert to table.
is it possible??
10X

lets say you are getting values from a table
select & into X_TAB1 from TAB1.
data : x_tab2 type table2.
x_tab2-newfield = 'new value'. "Populate that new field value
move corresponding X_TAB1 TO X_TAB2. "all other will copy here
then use X_TAB2 to insert to your TABLE2.
INSERT TABLE2 FROM X_TAB2.
it would be a good practice to use same structure of the table while you use Insert/modify etc.. commands.
else you can declare TABLES ZTABLE2.
MOVE CORRESPONDING ZTABLE1 TO ZTABLE2.
ZTABLE2-NEW_FIELD = <NEW VALUE>.
then use INSERT.
INSERT ZTABLE2.

Question about selection text.

when program is created and need to be transported to production does selection texts always go with it?

Hi Kishore...
The selection texts will not automatically go with the program...Suppose u have a TR for a program ..
Now wen u create selection texts using goto-> textelements-> selection texts then activate you will be asked for A new TR. Then u can transport the same..

A question about select where date =

I want to select data from a table which has a date column and has the time format like "2009-11-30 00:00:00.0".
I try using the sql-script as follow but failed.
select * from mytable
where begin_date = to_date ('2009-11-30', 'yyyy.mm.dd ');
Someone knows the format?

A lot of people say they have a DATE column when they actually have a VARCHAR2 that is supposed to store a date. Post a CREATE TABLE statement to remove any doubt.
I try using the sql-script as follow but failed.
select * from mytable
where begin_date = to_date ('2009-11-30', 'yyyy.mm.dd ');That looks okay. The extra space after dd shouldn't matter.
What you wrote is equivalent to:
select *
from mytable
where begin_date = to_date ('2009-11-30 00:00:00', 'yyyy.mm.dd hh24:mi:ss');Are you sure you have rows with that value?
Whenever you have a problem, post some sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) so people can re-create the problem.

Question About Deleting Parts Of Clips and iMovie Trash

Hi,
Why are small deleted portions of clips not moved to the trash, where you can recover them? It looks like if you want to delete small sections of individual clips, those deletions cannot be recovered once the project is saved. Am I missing something?

Hmmm. Something doesn't sound quite right. When I delete a portion of a clip here — after splitting a clip, for example — the deleted portion goes in the iMovie trash. To retrieve the clip I can just drag it from the Trash window back to the Timeline or Clips pane.
That's not how it's working for you? Are you using iMovie 6?
There is another way to retrieve the clip, which relies on iMovie's non-destructive editing feature. It is useful when you've used Direct Trimming to shorten a clip, which does NOT send the deleted portion to the Trash. (There is no clip for the trimmed portion.) It's also useful after you've emptied the iMovie Trash, which removes a split clip, but does NOT remove the clip's source file.
That is to Option-drag the shortened clip to some other location (Option-dragging creates a copy) then select the clip and choose Advanced > Revert Clip to Original. That reverts that clip to its original length. Depending on the editing you've done to the clip, it may be necessary to select the menu command more than once.
Otherwise, I can't think of what might cause it to work differently for you.
Please say how you are creating the clip that is deleted. Is it a split clip?

Automation changes volume of whole multi instrument.

I have multi instruments set up in Logic and the volumes of the 16 channels work separately in the mixer but when I go to automation it changes the volume of the whole multi instrument. How do I get around this?

You need to select the midi channel of the instrument you want to automate within the multi instrument from the inspector.
You can see the channel in this pic.

This is a two part question about the creative 16gb Zen?

8This is a two part question about the creative 6gb Zen? First of all, my battery life dropped very suddenly. One charge I was getting the full 30 hour battery life and the next it dropped to under ten. I tried using their tips on how to extend the battery life and I am still getting less than 0 hours of battery life. Why would it dropped more than half the amount between charges? I tried recharging it after it ran out and still the same thing. Any help?
Second, (I am adding this question because it might relate to the first in some way) my mp3 player has been behaving strangely lately. For example, some artists sometimes have letters removed or all but the first end up being removed. But, if you reset the player, the artists go back to the full name. Also, my player has been taking a little longer than usual to turn on. It takes about 30 seconds to turn on instead of the 5-0 that I'm used to. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
My Zen is only 4 months old, and I would be very upset it it's breaking already. Please, if you have any suggestions on how I can fix what's happening, post them. (Even if they?probably won't work, they're worth a try.)

< This is an unusual one; never heard of it before. All I can suggest is cleaning up and perhaps reflashing the firmware. If it still is doing this, then get the thing exchanged pronto.
My guess is that the problems are indeed closely related.
