Resolution drops when using type effect over image

Using a type effect over an image causes the resolution to drop below acceptable levels (211 dpi). The client has used a glow effect around text to knock back the image for better legibility. The image is 300 dpi, the text box is transparent with an outer glow effect. I matched the effect with a drop shadow using white but the problem still happens. I've increased the resolution of the image to 600 dpi, same problem. My transparency flattener presets: Raster / Vector Balance 100, Line art and text resolution 2400ppi, Gradient and mesh resolution 400ppi. Downsampling for PDF export is off. Printing postscript doesn't solve the problem. I've solved the issue by recreating the effect in Photoshop and turning the effect in InDesign off. This is in CS6, but I've opened the file in CC 2014 and have the same problem. Anyone have a solution?
Thanks!

The problem is within the digital file that's exported or postscripted to our PDF workflow. Preflighting in InDesign indicates no problems but the exported PDF in Acrobat shows the problem. Prinergy and Printready both fail the refine as our lowest acceptable limit is 280dpi. The PDF looks fine, the problem will be when the (offshore) printer preflights the PDF and sees the resolution problem. The issue is with the InDesign effect reducing the resolution - only in the area under the text box. All the images, text etc are CMYK. If I turn off the effect the PDF is all good.

Connections drop when using Cisco Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client

Folks I have a strange issues. I have a few laptops that I'm testing using the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client Network Access Manager. We like the interface and overall are happy, but have one nagging issue. Periodically the connection drops when using the client, and the only way to reconnect is to choose the Network repair option on the client. That fixes it just fine, but we shouldn't have to do this. The same clients using the built in WIndows supplicant do not have this problem. We are on version 3.0.07059.

Right now I'm testing on a single access point (autonomous) with WEP! The same laptop works fine without the Cisco client. Usually it is several hours, 12 or more when it happens, but I've seen it less than that. And I've seen it up for over a day and a half. At this point I just don't trust the client to roll out to a larger audience.

Strange LAV applications open in mass when using after effects? + other

Hey guys, when i use after effect tones of little LAV Splitters and Decoders open;
How do i get rid of this and what does it affect?
OTHER: also sometimes i when i play back clips in after effect, the clips jumps 5 frames forward then 5 frames back randomly, really anoying and all compostion and clips are 29.97 fps :/ (this usally occurs after , after effects has been opened for a while and move of these LAV icons appear? coinsidence?)
Thanks a lot for your help,
Eggy

-N/a
-I have been editng for around 5 hours and when i RAM preview my clips the fps jumps back and forth and very unfluid (after having told after effects that the file is 29.97fps and not 25fps) I was thinking this might occure with all the LAV things opening when using after effects..
- yes quicktime is installed 7.6.2
- other software running: google chrome
-Twixtor effects installed
- not using openGL
-The problem only occures when i RAM preview, i tried rendering and the clips was fine, but i cant edit with constant fps jumps backwards and forwards.
VIDEO EXAMPLE:
in preview RAM as it goes up the stairs and around the corner it jumps a lot of frame for some reason, i also showed the orignal clip just to show that it is smooth.

When using 'sponge' effect on a fill, how do I get rid of the white 'pixellations' (if that is what they are called around the edges of the fill?

When using 'sponge' effect on a fill, how do I get rid of the white 'pixellations' (if that is what they are called around the edges of the fill?

I tried to give you this solution before, but maybe you missed it. This simple procedure will mask out all the various sponge edge-artifacts. Here it is in simple steps:
1. Make the path shape you want to apply the sponge effect to.
2. Highlight that path, and select Object > Path > Offset path ... choose +2 points (or whatever works for your drawing scale, to ultimately eliminate the outside line and the artifacts) -- this will make a slightly larger shape, based on the original shape.
3. Cut the outside path (command or alt-X), select the inside path, and paste the outer path BEHIND the inner path (command or alt-B).
4. Apply the sponge effect to the OUTER path.
5. Highlight BOTH paths, and create a MASK (command or alt-7).
Now you have your original shape, with sponge applied, and the outer 2 points (or whatever your Offset Path was set to), are masked out, masking out the outside line and the sponge artifacts.
This works with any Document Raster Effect Settings dpi.

"Type mismatch" error in IE7/8 when using custom Actions Menu Image

Hi all,
in APEX 4.2: when using a custom image in the "Actions Menu Image" attribute in an interactive report, I get a "Type mismatch" error in IE7/8 when refreshing the report through PPR (filtering, sorting, paginating etc.). When I leave the "Actions Menu Image" field empty, everything works fine. The error doesn't seem to happen in IE9 (unless using compatibility mode), or in any non-IE browser.
I've been able to reproduce the issue in an application on apex.oracle.com:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=69347:1
Some debugging seems to indicate that the following line in widget.interactiveReport.js is the culprit:
lTemp.parentNode.replaceChild($x('apexir_WORKSHEET'), lTemp);Does anybody know if this is a known issue, or if there is some workaround?
Thanks,
Tobias

Hi,
Great solution Paul! It cost me a while before I found out the Action Menu Image was causing my interactive reports to stop refreshing in IE10 and not other browsers. Your solution works great, I've implemented it with a few minor adjustments:
- Put the css in report template (for some reason it didn't work in our own application stylesheet)
- replace 'url("/c/action_dropdown.gif")' with 'url("&APP_IMAGE_PREFIX./<path_to_image>")'
- place one dynamic action on page 0: after refresh of '#apexir_DATA_PANEL' , set event scope to "Dynamic".
- Let the Dynamic action also fire on page load.
- To make sure the dynamic action only works for pages with an interactive report add condition of type 'Exists' with expression:
select 1
from   dual
where :APP_PAGE_ID in (select page_id
                                        from   apex_application_page_ir
                                        where application_id = :APP_ID

"X resolution" error when using CFIMAGE

I've built an uploader for my new photo gallery, and it's pretty basic. I can either upload using the new <cffileupload> box, or I can FTP files to an "upload" directory. Since the entire site is local still, I've just been copying the files I want to add to the database to the "upload" directory, then running my script. So far I've created 49 albums and added just over 3,400 pics.
That is, until this latest round.
I have some pics I took on a cruise a couple of years ago. There are just fewer than 400 of them. When I copy the files to my upload folder, pick my album, then click "Submit", get the following errors from <cfcatch>:
cfcatch.type = Application
cfcatch.message = X Resolution
cfcatch.detail = X Resolution
That's ALL I get.
On the upload form, there's a <cfif> statement that copies the original images to a "/fullsize/" directory before processing if they're 1280px wide or less. Otherwise it resizes them using <cfimage>. In this case, the files are all 1280 wide, so the next <cfimage> tag is the one that makes the default viewing pic.
Here's the code I'm using:
<cfdirectory action="list" directory="#request.basepath#/manage/upload" name="uploads" sort="name ASC" mode="777">
<cfsetting requesttimeout="#createtimespan(0,1,0,0)#">

<cfelse>
<cfset pictimestamp = replace(listfirst(ImageGetEXIFTag(thisimage,"Date/Time Original")," "),":","-","ALL") & " " & listlast(ImageGetEXIFTag(thisimage,"Date/Time Original")," ")>

<cfcatch type="any">

</cfcatch>
</cftry>
Keep in mind this has worked for over 3,400 pics, so something perhaps is different about this set of pics I'm uploading.
The pics are all around 600KB in size (jpegs), and are 1280x853px in resolution. I've even batch-renamed them with a unique file prefix to avoid naming conflicts.

Solved, sort of.
I had used the Nautilus rotate/resize extension on a bunch of pics in this set where the landscape/portrait properties were somehow not retained. Apparently that messes things up with <cfimage> because when I deleted the first image in the set (which was portrait), the upload went fine until I got to the next portrait file. I opened it in image viewer, rotated it, then rotated it back and saved it, and then it was fine.
Looks like I have to do this with all the ones I rotated. :/
But at least I'm able to upload again.

Using Multiply + Overprint over Image = Error?

In the attached file i've placed a lowres cmyk image. On top of this, i have placed a rectangle filled with a spot colour called 'White'. This spot color has a cmyk value of 0,0,0,0.
When i then set the white rectangle to overprint (in the attributes palette) and to use the multiply transparency effect (in the transparency palette) it darkens the image!
Why is this? You can see the effect in the attached file, just toggle the white layer on and off.

I work in the flexographic industry where laying a spot white over the artwork is standard practice for hires plate (PDF) files. It is so the job separates properly when put through a print workflow to create digital plates. Of course the spot white could be purely overprinted but this creates a problem when using the hires file to create PDF proofs for customers as overprint preview is off by default in most PDF readers. Using a multiply transparency effect solves the opaque issue on PDF proofs and allows the main hires file to separate properly.
The problem is that when a spot white is given an overprint along with a multiply transparency effect (by accident) it effectively boosts the tonal values of any underlying images by 200%. This seems like a bug and i wondered if you know of a reason why white would have such an effect.
Is this a bug?
Is this intended behaviour?
Can you tell me why a spot white with these properties acts like this?
BTW, if you don't know, please stop with the elitest attitude trying to imply that i'm doing something wrong and move along.

Retrieving the remote IP when using Flex Remoting over RTMP

Hello,
I am trying to retrieve the IP address of a user making a Java call to my service defined in remoting-config.xml
If i setup an AMF channel I can use the folllowing to retrieve the remote IP address:
String ip = FlexContext.getHttpRequest().getRemoteAddr();
But when i try to do the same over a RTMP channel I get a Java exception because the object that RTMP uses to fake a httprequest doesn't implement that function.
How do i retrieve the IP of the user making the call in this case? It has to be somewhere or the server wouldn't be able to send a reply to the client, but i haven't been able to find it.

I tried all of your ideas and still no luck (see below). One thing I forgot to mention was that when using Internet Exploier to view the web page on another computer I can see the document title (AKA- VI name) and the header I typed in. But where the vi should be I have the missing picture Icon (the one you see when a web page has a bad link to an image). Image will show up on sever computer when I click preview web page. Is there anything that the receiving computer needs to have other than the run time code?
TST – I have found that the start web sever button will gray out if you goto tools options web server configuration then manual check the enable web server check box. So that wasn’t it.

1) Drop Down Menu 2) Roll Over Images & 3)

Does anyone know away to make these things possible on iWeb (or if it is not even possible)
1)
I'd like to have a drop down menu so that my sites are not so cluttered.
Here is an example:
http://www.drsteinhealing.com/doctor/chiropractor/2L/Encino/homepage.htm
2)
I have seen rollover images in flash, but I hear that it is possible without flash and I think it would be great to have some pictures as such for the menu. I would think this would be possible because right now there is a rollover color change to words that are links if you want it to change colors... so:
a) is flash possible on iWeb
b) even if it is not: is there a way to have rollover images and
c) can there be roll over images that are also links?
Here is an example:
http://planetrobyn.com/ (the pictures go from black and white to color and then they are also the menu)
I'm learning so it would be great to see if these things are possible. Thank you.

See these menus.The menus are HTML and CSS only.
http://www.wyodor.net/Demo/iWebeend.html
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/tmf/Duckmenu.html
The first menu has the menu hardcode in the published webpage.
Check the source to see how it's done.
The second menu has a textbox at the top of the page. A JavaScript in the HTML Snippet finds that textbox and place the menu in it.
This is pasted in the HTML Snippet :
<script src="../../../duckmenu/duckmenu.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
This JavaScript places the menu in the textbox :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/duckmenu/duckmenu.js
The menu at drsteinhealing is HTML/CSS only too. So if you like it, grab the code + stylesheet and use it.

TERMINFO environment dropped when using sudo -E or sudioedit

Hey guys,
I use the termite terminal which uses the termcap file 'xterm-termite'. Since this is non-standard I have to copy over the termcap file to remote machines I commonly work on. I put this file in `$HOME/.local/share/terminfo/x/xterm-termite` and set my $TERMINFO environment variable to `$HOME/.local/share/terminfo`.
When I use sudo -E or sudoedit it looks like the TERMINFO environment variable is getting lost. So vim won't display things properly (no colors) and other silly problems (LESS 'Warning terminal is not fully functional").
Why does the TERMINFO get dropped when my other environment variables stick around?
Edit: Looking at the TROUBLESHOOTING document, I see that TERMINFO is removed "to guard against shared library spoofing, shell voodoo, and kerberos server spoofing."
What are my options? I would really rather not copy my termcap file into /usr/share/terminfo since I might not always have root access on my remote machines.
Edit 2: I feel a little silly. I just said I may not have root access. But if I'm using sudo it's almost guaranteed for root access! I'll leave this thread open for other solutions though.

Per chance are each of your IP phones wireless portable phones? Do they happen to operate in the 2.4 GHz band? If so, this would be the reason for the drop-offs. Also, I'm not sure why, if true, this would not affect your Mac ... unless it is connected by Ethernet.

Airtunes drops when using Windows XP, but not Mac

We're currently using the AirPort Express as our wireless router, and everything works great from a connection standpoint. No problems with our MacPro or XP laptop.
However, when using XP to play AirTunes, the audio constantly drops out (itunes will pause, and then come back within a few seconds, green light on the APX stays lit). We've tried closing all other programs & processes, and even uploaded the 6.3 firmware for Windows, but still get the drop-outs. Never once had a problem with the Mac, even after the firmware change.
Also tried using a Linksys wireless router as our hub and connecting the APX to the network. same issues.
I haven't been able to find anything on the site about this, anybody else having this problem?
MacPro Mac OS X (10.4.9) Toshiba Laptop w/ Windows XP

I'm experiencing something similar.
I have a TECOM wireless router with a a single win XP PC connected and two airport express stations for playing music remotely.
Green light still on, but iTunes frequently loses sight of the remote speakers after some period of time.
The solution thats often works is to disconnect and reconnect XP to the wifi network. But I'm not really happy with this (boring) method.
If anyone knew a setting that could help...

CS6 Non-responsive when using Light effect filter in Photoshop

Win 7 OS. I am trying to use the light effect filter and when I select it photoshop gets locked up and won't respond until I end task in task manager (it says photoshop not responding in task manager). Is there a fix for this? I did all of my updates and it still happens. I have homework to do, I need to fix this issue. Any help is appreciated,
Thank you

Every time I try and use lighting effect, on my Win 7, CS6 it crashes. I at least get to use it, but when I click "ok" for the changes to take place, "Adobe has stopped working" and just crashes.
I looked into my Graphics Card drivers update... (AMD RADEON hd 6450) and on the site, I chose a very new update for a catalyst... blah blah. Which gave me this new control panel specific with this new driver update. However, once I downloaded it, restarted (for s & g's) it doesn't show up in my graphics card properties... its the same driver as before. So this may not have anything to do with what help I need. Although, it has a new "control center" that I looked at and its all martian to me.
Someone please help me to resolve this issue??!! I can give more information if needed.
