Reset opacity to 100% / normal apply mode?

Is there a script (or technique) that can globally reset the opacity of everything to 100% and change the transfer mode to normal? Not just top layers, but every object in a group and every group in a layer.
The Clear Appearance button on the Appearance panel resets too many things (including color).
I frequently need to prep Illustrator documents for After Effects. Illustrator layers containing objects with transparency and transfer modes don't translate well when imported into AE.  (A layer with 50% opacity in Illustrator is imported as a translucent layer with 100% opacity in AE, even though visually it's 50%)

The PDF Reference Manual gives the formulas for many of Adobe's blendmodes so start there:

Of course it never hurts to go back to Porter-Duff:

  • "Normal" blend mode for layering in multi-input PB kernel

    Hello all-
    I'm sure there's a dead simple solution to this problem.  I've been trying to build a simple composite node for a PB Graph that takes three inputs, maintains transparent areas in the "top-most" layer (Layer 1), 50% opacity overall for the middle layer (Layer 2) and 100% opacity for the bottom layer (Layer 3) without applying mathematical blending (like multiply or linear dodge blend modes).
    If someone could point me in the right direction with regards to "Normal" blend mode (as in Photoshop), I would be much obliged...
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    Henry

  • Normal blend mode + transparency

    I've searched around for help on what happens to create the resulting pixel color when normal blending mode is used in conjunction with transparency. Most of the sources I've read simply say that there is no blending in normal mode. Clearly, that can't be true when the top layer has some transparency applied. Sure, we interpret that as no blending. Our brains see it as a simple overlay. But two pixels of different color are displayed in the same location. Some kind of mixing is going on to display the result. What's happening?
    Thanks for your help. I know this is purely academic, but it's gnawing at me.

    Have You tried simply running a test with some Solid Fill-layers?
    The resulting values for the channels seem pretty simple to calculate if the lower layer is solid:
    resultingValue = lowerValue * ((100 - upperOpacity) / 100) + upperValue * (upperOpacity / 100)

  • Volume not saving in the Window's volume mixer. Resets back to 100% [Adobe Flash Player]

    This problem is rustling my jimmies hardcore
    Everytime I restart Firefox or Internet Explorer "Adobe Flash Player 11.3" always resets back to 100% in the Window's volume mixer while everything else stays put.
    My Skype volume never resets after a restart, my Firefox volume never resets after a restart, my WMP/VLC players never reset after a restart. Why does this
    How could something so obvious get past QA, quite frankly I think it's embarrassing for a company as big as Adobe.

    When you have a minute, please vote for the following bug:  https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3210127
    As for working around this issue, please see the following FAQ.  In particular, you can either disable Protected Mode or revert back to a previous version of Flash Player.

  • My ipod is displying apple logo and wont start up, hard reset leaves it the same, disc mode works but iTunes doesnt "see" it even if the computer does.

    "My ipod is displaying apple logo and wont start up, hard reset leaves it the same, disc mode works but iTunes doesn't "see" it even if the computer does."
    It worked two days ago fine, for two years, until I installed this newest iTunes update, then for one day it kept on freezing and going to apple logo screen mode, then today it only goes to that screen and wont start up at all.
    I've tried the hold down two buttons hard reset, that doesn't help. I've tried disc mode... but iTunes doesn't "see" it even if the computer does.
    This is a pristine ipod, never exposed to adverse conditions, never dropped, never wet, and it worked perfectly two days ago.
    Can I factory reset it somehow? (considering itunes can't "see" it)
    [Ipod classic 160gb less than two years old.]

    Looks like I might have found the solution on a youtube comment:
    R.O:
    "Plug into you laptop first, whichever set up you use that has iTunes, i know it won't read it, don't even open iTunes as of yet. Do the typical reboot "Menu +Center button at the same time" and hold it, DONT LET IT GO like we were told, when the apple pops up.. KEEP HOLDING IT it will make a new ding sound I've never heard before. and since its hooked to you laptop already an error message pops up and says apple will need to download something to repair your iPod. I when u see that that when i let reboot buttons go. hit ok on the laptop something downloads for like 20 seconds then the iTunes icon hops around when you open it it has a screen with an iPod classic on it and says "Software version blah blah, iTunes will check for an update on such n such date" AND FINALLY there's a "Restore" button. click that and you will be back to square one with your iPod. Renaming , adding all the music on it, but it will work again, finally. "
    I had to do it twice, because my mac froze the first time, but its recognized it now and is downloading the software as we speak...
    Now I've clicked the restore button and it's restoring... I'll post again if its a success, otherwise assume failure.

  • Firefox 3.6 starts in taskbar mode, not normal screen mode

    Firefox opens only as an item on the Windows taskbar, instead of in "normal" screen mode. I then have to click on the taskbar item to get Firefox to open in normal screen mode.
    By normal screen mode, I mean the mode where Firefox fills up part of the computer screen and Firefox can then be resized or moved around the screen as one desires. I am not talking about opening Firefox in what is variously called "full screen," F11, or maximized mode --- and I do not want Firefox opening in such a mode.
    I have a wide screen monitor which I use to open and view several software programs at the same time, something which is very handy when you want to compare information from a program on one's computer with information from a Web site, and I need Firefox to open in normal screen mode to permit me to do this multiple program viewing.
    I have tried the following plugins , but they either do not solve my problem, or only allow me to start Firefox in full screen mode:
    - AutoHide
    - Full Fullscreen
    - FullerScreen
    I have tried searching the Firefox help database, and have done a more general internet search using Google, and have not found any information on this problem.
    Is there a Firefox configuration setting I can make to direct Firefox to always open in normal screen mode?

    Reply to Cor-el's June 6th message: I created a desktop shortcut and tested it a few times, both various times during computer sessions and a few times just after I had powered up my desktop computer. The shortcut always opens Firefox in "normal screen mode." I also tested opening Firefox from the Start button menu item I have had for several years. The menu item also always opens Firefox in "normal screen mode."
    It is only when I use the Web/Home button on the Microsoft internet keyboard that Firefox opens in "taskbar mode." Also, this problem has only been occuring for the past 6 or 7 months. Before that, I could always open Firefox 3 in "normal screen mode" using the Web/Home button.
    Note to the other eight people who also indicated they have this problem: My version of the problem seems to be with Firefox's interaction with the software for the Microsoft internet keyboard. I would appreciate it if you could post a reply to this discussion informing everyone whether you have this Firefox startup problem when you use a dedicated keyboard key, or if you have the startup problem when you use just a desktop shortcut or a Start button menu item. Thank you.

  • Safari always auto-hide bars, always: also in normal screen mode (not full-screen, which is when autohide happens)

    Bookmark bar is auto hidden in fullscreen mode, how to keep same functionality in normal mode out of full-screen?
    In full-screen I just have the main toolbar showing, which is how I want it all the time. This or either make "full-screen" a lot better.

    Hmm, i think i phrased original question badly, i am looking for auto-hide to be featured in normal window mode as well as fullscreen, and whatever else designers and programmers can dream up and not execute poorly.
    I have now disabled all EXTENSIONS and removed all 3rd party bars (google, sharethis, never used nayway;) and as my suspicions confirmed Safari is running much better. I was very suspicious of this when it was added as it seemed like trying to match Firefox, which I also gave up some time ago in place of Chrome as my second browser, although I use Safari for 90%. The extensions i think causes freezing when i had Parallels running a Windows VM at the same time and also other times when not.
    The extensions is a bit stupid in my opinion as any niggling, minor feature of a website should be addresses to the website rather than the browser. Where adverts are concerned, well, just use the web less or more specifically!
    I think I'm fine with Toolbar/URL-search and bookmark bar, its great - simple and not intrusive. I believe EXTENSIONS introduction gave me some sort of weird mental outlook and would urge Apple to be more careful in bringing in different types of features unnecessarily.

  • How to configure a RV220W in normal routing mode (No NAT)

    Hi,
    I have been very busy the last few days in trying to configure this router in normal routing mode. I do not want to have double NAT in my network. This is my setup:
    C class IP network connected to the internet via a Fritzbox router. I need this router becasue of the VOIP services it provides. I want to use the RV220W to isolate certain users from the rest of the network. When I configure the router in WAN (NAT) it partially works, e.g. I can browse, send email but cant make a connection to a apple fileserver which is on the base network. When I try to operate in normal routing mode I cant get it to work. I am sure I am doing something wrong with the static routes. 
    Setup: 
    Internet <-> Fritzbox (192.168.12.0/24) network <-> RV220W <-> LAN 1 (192.168.1.0/24) users to be isolated.
    On the 192.168.12..0/24 network the printer, fileserver and PBX are connected. 
    Please help me in configuring this.
    The firmware is the latest 1.0.5.8.
    Thanks in advance!
    Peter

    Hello Peter,
    Sorry for the late reply, but I figured I would post anyone in case anyone else has this question.
    You can put the router in what is called router mode by logging into the admin page and going to Networking >> Routing >> Routing Mode and selecting Router.  
    I am only looking at an emulator, but I believe this will cause a reboot.  Once in router mode NAT and the firewall are disabled, however access rules do still work.  
    You will still need a static route from your Fritzbox to the 192.168.1.0/24 network on the RV220W, and the RV220W should have the Fritzbox as it's default gateway on it's WAN interface.  You may also need to create an ACL to allow traffic from the Fritzbox network through the RV's WAN port.
    Some Apple devices depend on the Bonjour protocol to work properly, which doesn't always traverse subnets well, so if after all of that it still doesn't work you may have an issue with Apple.
    Thank you for choosing Cisco,

  • Is there a way to make InCopy open all documents in normal screen mode, always?

    Is there a way to make InCopy open all documents in normal screen mode, always?
    Now it opens in the screen mode the InDesign page is in when checked in. We don't want that.
    Thanks,
    Frederik

    No, there's no way to get rid of it in InCopy.  InCopy opens layouts in the mode the InDesign user saved them, including Normal vs. Preview, Frame edges showing or not, Hidden characters showing or not, and so on.
    You could try asking the designers to switch to Normal view before saving the INDD file.  Or you could assign a keyboard shortcut to the Normal view in InCopy and tell everyone to use that. We're on Macs so we use Control-N for Normal and Control-Shift-N for Preview.

  • Flex GUIs get a bad performance in normal screen mode when switched from full screen mode

    Hi, there :
    I encountered an odd situation and it is only happens on IE. Our project is a Flash 3D Game using Stage3D, and the Game's GUIs are created by CS6. When our game switch from the full screen( StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE or StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN ) to normal screen ( StageDisplayState.NORMAL ), the performance of the Game GUIs decline to approximate a half FPS of full screen mode. But this condition is only happens on IE.
    The Game is normal screen when it is initialized and the performance is as same as fullscreen. The performance degradation only happens after switching to normal screen mode from full screen mode.
    p.s. : When the mouse is out of the view, the performance become better, from 20 fps up to 50 fps. But is still not as same as the original 60 fps.
    p.s. 2 : My colleague told me the Flash Pro CS6 be used to built a single swc file per GUI, and then package all ui swc files to one swc file by Flex Framework SDK( the command is "compc" ). and the IE version = 9.0.8112.16421, the Flash Player Version = 11.6.602.155.
    p.s. 3 : I have utilized Adobe Profiler Scout to observe the application, and I found that when it switches to normal screen mode from full screen mode, the time 「Waiting for GPU」 in 「Inactive」 grows up from 10ms to approximate 30ms which is triple. And in the 「Activity Sequence 」tab, it shows that the 「Waiting for GPU」 happens in the 「Copying to screen 」in 「DisplayObject List」.
    Thanks

    This does sound like a specific bug with IE. It would be great if you could file a bug report here (https://bugbase.adobe.com/), so we can get somebody to look into it.
    btw, Flex is really not a good framework for games - it's really slow and heavyweight. If you're just wanting some lightweight UI elements, you might want to check out the Feathers framework, which is built on top of Starling: http://feathersui.com/
