Quicker way to create "white layers"

For the kind of work I am doing in photoshop, I want a clean page and not a transparent/clear overlay. I am having to create a new layer and fill it with white every 2 minutes. I would like it if there was a way to tell photoshop to create a new layer automatically filled in with the background color. Can someone help me out with this? Can someone help?

Hello!
If you are not afraid of Keystrokes the following combination would indeed create new white layers "D, Command-Option-Shift-N, Command-Delete"
I guess that the placement of the layer is important, otherwize, if the background layer is still white, you could do Option+, to target the Bg layer, Command+J to jump it to a new layer.
The script events that Conrad alludes to is the Script Events Manager: you could create an action that fills the layer with white, and triggeer it with the creation of a new layer: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-7419a.h tml for the help files, or http://www.heathrowe.com/eventsscriptmanager.aspx for a good step by step.

  • SharePoint Server 2007 - Quick Way to Create Lists

    Hello, we are running an 'Issue Log' SP list site where we have issues mainly resolved over email and phone, which means the issue log is more of a 'Resolution Log'. I'm trying to come up with a more inventive way to add issues to this list in realtime through
    outlook so my group does not need to duplicate information and 'Assign' to the next person who would track our issues for a more holistic view to improve upon.
    What ends up happening is we forward the email chain to that assigned person and the log becomes an afterthought.
    Is there a way to add a button to Outlook or forward to a general SP email that would quickly add to our listing with at least the header so my group can have a running log without going into SP, creating an item, adding the info, and assigning to
    users?
    Thanks!

    Hi Chris,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the approval workflow cannot work when the workflow was set to start to approve publishing a major version of an item after upgrading to SharePoint 2010.
    I recommend to check the approval workflow in Workflow settings of the corresponding library to see if the Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item is checked.
    For test, I recommend to create a new OOB approval workflow and set it to start to approve publishing a major version of an item in the same library to see if the workflow can work.
    Thanks

  • Quick way to create Lower thirds from Spreadsheet

    Maybe everyone knows this already since it came out when I was away from the forums, but I searched the Premiere Pro forums for the word "spreadsheet" and got no related results, so here goes....
    There is a way to type all of your information for lower thirds, or titles of any kind for that matter, including the kind of sub titles that are actually on the video itself, into a spreadsheet and using variables, create as many Photoshop PSD files to be imported into Premiere Pro as you wish.
    It is brilliant. Simply brilliant.
    Download the sample project and the PDF of the instructions. They ask for your name and e-mail address so that they can lock the PDF to one person (another good trick) to avoid people sharing. They want you to see the info about the book. But this chapter if free. And brilliant. Simply brilliant. But I guess I said that already.
    http://premierepro.net/editing/spreadsheets-to-lower-thirds/

    Well, I know what I would do if I needed to do such a thing.
    The programming language in Microsoft Excel is extremely powerful. It is a version of Visual Basic and can easily manipulate text files. So I would open a PRTL file, change the text and save it as the next title. Then I would repeat for every line in the spreadsheet.
    To make this easy, after formatting your first title, change the text to something simple, and export it to a PRTL file - and always use the same text and same title name to make writing the macro easier. Then just cycle through the rows of the spreadsheet. I haven't done this in ages, but I suppose I could give it a go if I had the proper motivation.
    But why? Why not use Photoshop?

  • A quicker way to create a materialized view?

    Hi,
    I'm new to replication and have been reading doco on it. Basically I want to set up read-only materialized views in oracle 11g.
    So on the replicated database I created a db link that points to the master db.
    Then I created a materialized view that does "select * from table@dblink" and that is forced refresh every 10 minutes.
    Problem is that the table on the master db is large and the network link is slow, so the "create materialized view" statement would take a long time to complete.
    So I think to speed up the process I would export/import the table from master to replicated db, then make this imported table a materialized view somehow.
    Is this possible, and if so, how?
    Thanks.
    Long

    If you are able to use other means (exp-imp, expdp/impdp, unload-sqlldr, externalfile etc) to copy the data faster (as a normal table in the target database), you can then use the "ON PREBUILT TABLE" clause in the CREATE MATERAILIZED VIEW statement.
    See
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_6002.htm#i2063793
    Alternatively, you must first verify if the CREATE is slow only because of SQL Query performance on the source, rather than because of network bandwidth/latency. If query execution needs to be tuned, that would be a cleaner solution, because the Refresh can then be automatically handled by Oracle.
    Remember that you can use Materialized View Log(s) on the source tables to enable FAST Refresh's as well.

  • Is there a way to create multiple map tile layers at once?

    Hello experts,
    I have a small problem. It's mainly a matter of saving some time. I need to create 51 map tile layers in mapviewer, and I would like to this this at one time. I can go to the admin console-->Management-->Manage Map Tile Layers-->Create, and then I can create one at a time. But it really would be nice to create them all at once!
    I tried using the XML mode interface, and I can use the following code to create one map tile layer:
    <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
    <map_tile_server_admin_request>
      <create_map_tile_layer data_source="xxxx">
        <map_tile_layer
            name="FOUNDATION"
            http_header_expires="168"
            image_format="PNG">
          <internal_map_source base_map="FOUNDATION"/>
          <tile_storage root_path="/scratch/tilecache" />
          <coordinate_system
              srid="8265"
              minX="-180" maxX="180" minY="-90" maxY="90"/>
          <tile_image width="250" height="250" />
          <zoom_levels levels="10" min_scale="5000" max_scale="10000000">
          </zoom_levels>
        </map_tile_layer>
      </create_map_tile_layer>
    </map_tile_server_admin_request> And it creates one layer. But when I try this:
    <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
    <map_tile_server_admin_request>
      <create_map_tile_layer data_source="xxxx">
        <map_tile_layer
            name="FOUNDATION"
            http_header_expires="168"
            image_format="PNG">
          <internal_map_source base_map="FOUNDATION"/>
          <tile_storage root_path="/scratch/tilecache" />
          <coordinate_system
              srid="8265"
              minX="-180" maxX="180" minY="-90" maxY="90"/>
          <tile_image width="250" height="250" />
          <zoom_levels levels="10" min_scale="5000" max_scale="10000000">

          </zoom_levels>
        </map_tile_layer>
      </create_map_tile_layer>
    </map_tile_server_admin_request>...it creates only the first map tile layer in my xml request.
    Is there any way to create multiple map tile layers at once?
    Thank you!
    John

    Michael,
    It looks like you are right! Thank you for your help.
    I still have a small concern. I looked at the documentation and it reads,
    "The configuration settings for a cache instance are stored in the USER_SDO_CACHED_MAPS metadata view. You should normally not manipulate this view directly, but should instead use the MapViewer administration tool, which uses this view to configure map cache instances."
    But, I tried inserting records into USER_SDO_CACHED_MAPS and it works, and I can't really see any reason not to directly insert records into this table, so...
    Perhaps that warning is there simply because potentially you could screw things up tinkering with the table directly.
    Cheers!
    John

  • Is there a way to create a CSS image gallery with caption?

    Hi everyone,
    Ive been using the disjoint rollover, but I only have one
    thing that I want to add to it—a caption right underneath an
    image.
    Besides using that Project Seven plug-in, is there a way to
    create an image gallery without using layers? Or is layers the only
    way to do it? All I want (words of doom, huh?) is a thumbnail to be
    able to switch and image and add a caption to it. Can anyone point
    me in the right direction? Or is that Project Seven plug-in deal my
    best bet? What about Set Text of Layer in DW.
    Oh yeah, Im still using DW with CSS sprinkled in..any help?
    Thanks in advance.

    Of course.
    > What about Set Text of Layer in DW.
    That would do it, and it's not necessary that the layer stay
    a layer after
    you have done it, either. I do this frequently - make a
    layer, apply the
    behavior, and then remove the position:absolute from the div,
    and place it
    where I want it.

  • Is there a way to create videos 'fast' with adobe products?

    I am an affiliate marketer. I have produced a video  Inspro Program: personal development planned and achieved - YouTube and I would like to know if there are ways to create videos within maybe 10 minutes with Adobe products. Please suggest a quick method.

    Turnaround times ultimately depend on the skill of the person doing the work just as much as the programs' capabilities. And 10 minutes for editing a video? That's just ridiculous. Importing/ exporting footage or tweaking voice-over audio alone could take longer as could replacing/ re-typing text.

  • Is there a quick way to "fit all" in the arrange window?

    Does LP8 have a quick way to fit everything in the arrange window from any magnification level? Something comparable to double-clicking on the magnifying glass in Pro Tools?
    For instance, let's say you've made your tracks very tall by control-down-arrowing a bunch of times. Now you want to quickly go back to having every track header showing in the arrange window. At first I thought that the key command "control-option-z" (zoom to fit selection horizontally and vertically) would work if you command-a selected all regions first. That does work horizontally, but if I have a region at the bottom of my track headers, that command does not seem to work vertically. The region at the bottom is still out of view.
    One thing I tried was going to the key commands dialogue box and assigning option-2 to "save as zoom 1" and option-3 as "recall zoom 1." But when I start with everything visible in the arrange window, then hit option-2 to save that zoom level, then use the magnifying glass a bunch of times to make everything big, then hit option-3, it does not take me back to the original zoom level that I "saved" as option-2.
    If the only way to get back to square one is to start there, then control-option-marquee-select to magnify a few times, then control-option-click on the background the same number of times to get back to where you started, well, OK, I will live with that.
    But I am thinking there must be an easy way to "fit everything in window" with just one click, or maybe some kind of key-modified click.
    Any advice much appreciated,
    Jim

    OK, thanks for the advice, Erik. I was hoping not to have to use the zoom sliders or the stretch scrollbars method, since it's not as fast as a one-click or double-click method.
    One other possibility I was investigating today was saving a screenshot and then recalling it. The manual says:
    Saving and Recalling Screensets
    Screensets are numbered from 1 to 99 (using only the 1 to 9 computer keys—the 0 key
    is assigned to the Stop command by default).
    You don’t need to save screensets with an explicit command. It happens automatically,
    as soon as you switch to another screenset. Thus, without any effort, your current
    working view is always stored as the current screenset.
    To create a screenset:
    1 Press a numerical key, say 7.
    For two-digit screensets, hold down Control while entering the first digit.
    2 Arrange your windows as desired, including changes to zoom settings, relationship of
    the Arrange area and editor areas, open or closed Inspector and Media or Lists areas,
    and so on.
    To recall, or switch between screensets, do one of the following:
    m Input the number of the desired screenset (1 to 9).
    I thought that had real possibilities. Make the arrange window the size of my whole project to begin with, then save it as, say, screenset 3. Then if I zoom in on a wave form or change the size of everything, just recall screenset 3 to get back. Unfortunately, it apparently constantly keeps track of all your changes, so if you zoom within screenset 3 and then try to recall the screenset 3 that you saved, it just takes you to where you are currently, after all the zooming. I don't understand why Logic thinks that helps you, but that's how it seems to work.
    Anyway, I've spent enough time on it. I give up. I guess I will use control-left-arrow, control-right-arrow. Unfortunately, you cannot do them both at the same time, it seems, which would be faster. Oh, well.

  • Is there a way to create separate PDFs for each layer in Indesign?

    I have a multi-layered InDesign file, and I would like to generate a PDF for each of the layers. I was able to create a LAYERED PDF file (one PDF page with layers), which is great, but I also need a multi-page PDF...one PDF page per layer.
    Is there a way to do this? Do I need a script? Or is there a way to extract the separate layers from the layered PDF?
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

  • Is there a way to create a guide that can't be cleared or removed?

    We are trying to create master logos that would have the name on it made with guides. This would give us a quick way of seeing if the master was placed. Can the guide be set so if someone clears guides this one would not be cleared? I think I know the answer just hoping someone might know of a way to do this.
    Thanks in advance.

    if the guides are on a locked layer they wont be deleted with the Clear Guides menu command.
    you can put your guides in a templated layer. the user can still unlcok the layer and delete them, but it would have to be more conscious.
    what i've done in my office when i need the same guide in every document is i made a script that creates this guides. so when someone delete them, it only took me a second to recreate them.

  • Is there any way, to create with Adobe Muse HTML-Mail Templates?

    Is there any way, to create with Adobe Muse HTML-Mail Templates? or to convert the createt page to only html content? any other tool like an website copyer?
    tanks for help!

    Off the top of my head, you should be able to create mail templates in muse BUT it will require  very basic html/css knowledge on your part. I am assuming you want to do just the signature?
    Create the design you would like on one page, dont do any kind of styling in a master page. Then export the site into a folder. Open the html file with notepad/ textedit and then copy just the code for JUST the template. Throw it in you mail app of choice and it should work.
    This seems like something that would be done alot quicker in dreamweaver in design view.
    PLEASE NOTE: ^i could be completely wrong - but in theory this may work.
