Selection tools - how to get detail?

I currently have PSE 10, and use the selection tools often (normally the Quick selection).  I find them quite frustrating if trying to include detail along edges, for example of a bird with lots of fine feathers extending beyond the body of the bird.  I am familiar with the + and - options to add/subtract from the selection, but was wondering if there is a good (easier) way to include all that detail.  I usually go to actual pixel size or higher when trying to include the detail.
Also, I have heard that the selection tools are better in versions 11 and 12.  Would they help in what I want to do?  I'm probably going to upgrade anyway, but may wait for version 13 since that is probably not far away.
Thanks.

You can try the lasso tool, but it can be very difficult to select precisely around feathers, leaves, and fur.
Have you tried selecting with a mask? Here you can use a black brush to hide outside the feathers (in your hypothetical), and then reveal with a white brush if you go too far. The trick is to use the bracket keys (next to the letter P on the keyboard) to change the size of the brush cursor as you navigate around.

  • Preview Selection Tool-How to get selection size in Preview?

    One of my favorite tricks in Preview (prior to Leopard) was being able to hold the alt-key to get the selection size. Leopard killed this amazing feature and now I have to open Photoshop every time I want to get the size of something. Does anyone out the have any idea how to quickly get selection size in Preview in Leopard? I thought I would just be able to make a selection, crop the image and get the size that way, but worst of all, the image size only reflects the original image size and not the newly cropped size. The latter seems like a bug and the former is annoying.

    I've been on Leopard for a year and I was always able to just put the cursor on the image, draw my box and hit the crop button. In the last week, I've lost the ability to draw my box. It's like it's been disabled. I've restarted to no avail. This was a great little feature as I do not want to load every picture into iPhoto.

  • SAP_WAPI_GET_OBJECTS: How to get detailed values

    Hi experts,
    I am using BAPI SAP_WAPI_GET_OBJECTS to get container information within my Java Web Dynpro Application. This RFC (BAPI) contains some information about the used Business Object with the given Import-Parameter and some other general values (in TABLE Output Objects and Objects2) but I also need the dependent values from this Business Object. For example, I use BUS1001with a material number as input in order to get detailed information like material group and other values in that container.
    How can I retrieve that in BAPIs (RFC) in order to use it in Web Dynpro? Are there some other existing BAPIs, I can use to get these information?
    Best regards,
    Frank

    Hi,
    If you need just few attributes from the business object(s), it might be easier to just bind them from the business object to the task container. Then you can read the container with SAP_WAPI_READ_CONTAINER.
    If you want to really instantiate the business objects, you need to develop your own RFC enabled function. And even then it might be finally easier (inside your custom function) to get your needed business data by using some other BAPIs or even direct SELECTs from database with your key fields.

  • Quick selection tool,How to programme the function of this tool?

    Recently, I intend to extract from a picture on the edge of oil tank。I found  that this quick selection tool  can meet my

    The question doesn't make sense in the SDK forum either.
    Why are you trying to control the tool programmatically?
    And I don't think you really can control that tool programatically - it's meant to be interactive.

  • How to get detailed specifications by machine type model ?

    Hi,
    I am looking for a refurbished Thinkpad Lenovo (model X220/X230, T420(s)/T430(s)).
    I would like to know where I can find the detailed specifications by using the machine type model ?
    For the moment, I was using the PSREF, but I discovered that not all machine type were detailed.
    For example, the machine 2324-C44.
    I found this : http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-x-series-laptops/thinkpad-x23... but the specifications seems to be incomplete : baclit keyboard ? IPS premium screen ? finger print reader ? webcam ? WWAN ?

  • How to get details about Exception catched in Exception branch of the Block

    Hello Experts,
    Is it possible to get details about Exception catched in Exception branch of the Block in Integration Process (BPM)?
    In the Exception branch System Error is catched, but from time to time different type of System Errors are happening during sync call to WebService - Connection Timeout, Connection Refused, UnknownHost, etc.
    So the task is somehow to map the type of System Error to the response. I was trying to create a mapping using as source the message which is coming from the Adapter after the sync call, but the mapping is failing with "No Source Payload" error.
    Maybe the description is somewhere in Header or Dynamic configuration?
    Or it is possible to access it somehow with JAVA-maping?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hey,
          the message from the exception can be utilized by using alerts(in order to mail,sms r fax). but otherwise its not possible using mappings or container.
    check this link for alert configuration.

  • Direct selection tool - how not to move the form/path?

    This thing keeps me working my stress ball: when I touch a path with the white arrow I am always first in a mode where the path can be moved. But I want to move a nod or handle - is there a place where I can set this tool to never move or or to never select the whole path? I have the normal selection tool for that! I think I oversee something. Thank you!

    orangestuff,
    Whichever way it works in each version should be consistent. If not, it may be time for a preference corruption removal, see the hint Move the folder here: http://www.bugge.com/Family-and-friends/Illy/illy.html
    This may be a reversible test to see whether you are forced to use older ways in newer versions.

  • Easy Custom device tool - how to get actual waveforms or data from a channel

    I want to use a custom device to do the simulation for my system, but I am not sure how to get channel data to it?  I am using a cRio 9024, and 6 modules for signal input and signal output.  I did the walk through, but it is not connecting to channel data.  Any thoughts?

    Add.zip ‏164 KB

    Sorry that my previous response was so brief - I didn't have the opportunity to take a look at your code last Friday (and on top of that, I poorly worded my question about running your code in LabVIEW).
    You would want to include logic to communicate with your cRIO in the Execute VI - you don't need to add anything to the Channel Data or System Data controls to get the data into your custom device. If you're using the Scan Engine, this would mean just dragging and dropping Scan Engine IO variables into the Execute VI and then operating on the data you read out of them. Now, if you want to pass data out of the custom device to other parts of VeriStand, you would need to add items to Channel Data for each value you want to pass out of the custom device.
    When I mentioned running your code in LabVIEW, the idea I was trying to get at is creating a separate test project to verify that the logic you have implemented in your Execute VI works apart from the custom device architecture. Now that I've had a chance to take a look at your code, I see that the logic to communicate with the cRIO hasn't been implemented yet. As such, that original suggestion doesn't make sense - sorry for the confusion.
    Also, just so you're aware, you'll need to modify your custom device project to allow the custom device to be compiled for a VxWorks target. To do so, add your cRIO to the project as a new target and then copy all of your custom device files to the cRIO controller. You'll also need to make some modifications to the build specification to get everything to compile correctly.
    Finally, I also notice that in your init VI, you don't pass a file path to the Open/Create/Replace file VI, which will likely cause some problems when you try to run the device.
    Regards,

    A search of the MOS knowledge base turned up Support Recommended doc 1009494.1 How to use DTrace and mdb to Interpret vmstat Statistics.
    The section titled "kthr: Swapped out Threads (w)" includes the following statements and commands:

    The vmstat output doesn't tell what processes are swapped out. Mdb(1) can be used to print swapped out processes:
    # echo "::walk thread myvar|::print kthread_t t_schedflag|::grep .==0x8|::eval <myvar=K|::print kthread_t t_procp|::print proc_t p_user.u_comm"|mdb -k

    The mdb command does not return any thing:

  • How to get details of Pending Approval request in OIM 11g R2?

    Hi,
    We need to find out following details from Pending Approval Request in OIM 11g R2 -
    Request ID,Assignees,Requested Resource Name, Title of Request, Beneficiary, Status of Request.
    Out of above attributes we could find out Assignees, Title of Request, Status of Request, Beneficiary, etc. But we are not getting Request ID and Requested Resource Name.
    We have used API - 'IworkflowServiceClient'
    If we use API - 'RequestService' then we are not getting Assignees and Resource name from Pending approval request.
    Can any one suggeste how can we get these details? Do we need to use other API or other alternative to get all of attributes from Pending Approval Request.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Kevin for your suggestion.
    In OIM 11g R2 I tried task.getIdentificationKey() to get Request ID and task.getSystemMessageAttributes().getTextAttribute6() to get requested resource name but I am getting null values out of it. Is there something I am missing?
    Which common thing I can use to retrieve data from both OIM and SOAINFRA? As I am not getting Request ID from 'IworkflowServiceClient' API so I could not use it to earch request in OIM using 'RequestService'. Even if I have to use query what will be common thing I can use to fetch data from both tablespaces?
    Thanks.

    You can easily access any message in your mailbox by number.
    You can also search for a particular message based on content.
    Once you have the Message object, you can access all the details of the message.

  • How to get details about disabled ID?

    I've had a Verizon iPhone since late April 2011 (it's now June 8, 2011). Twice I've had the "disabled ID for security reasons" thing, and I can't figure out why. I'm the only human in the house. Unless the cat or his fleas have been trying to log in, it hasn't been me...
    I got the message tonight, for instance. No trouble re-activating, but how do I get more details about what actually happened between last night and tonight, since I didn't get the message last night? I know that I haven't tried to manually log in for weeks. Is it a glitch that sometimes happens when downloading stuff automatically from the iTunes store? Or is some hacker actually trying to guess my password? 
    I frequently do start up iTunes (Snow Leopard 10.6.7) to download freebies. The only odd thing I remember in the past few days was when something labeled free triggered something that would have purchased it for real money if I clicked on a yes button. Other than that, the downloads have all just proceeded without fuss. The last phone system update was quite a while ago, although I did update some apps a few days ago.
    I think I noticed the App Store was in the active list on my phone within the past few days, even though I didn't deliberately click on it. Also the phone app has started dialing (I think) when I didn't even start it up intentionally a couple of times. Is that what is happening with my id? Did the App Store think I was logging in for some reason? I would think a purchase would need to be started first, though, and I never have seen anything suggesting that's happened. And I don't think that actually happened between last night (no problem) and tonight (disabled).
    So is there any place to actually check for activity, so I can figure this out?

    a reasonable assumption.
