Show one color at a time

right now i am just brainstorming my next art project so i don't really have anything specific (which might make this harder to answer but bear with me)
ok, i am hoping to create a pretty complex peice. lots of shapes and detail, no gradients though.
is there a way to only show one color at a time.... that makes no sense, let me grab an example...
ok, i'll try again, if i was going to do this in illustrator, i would have that gold on top all on one layer. then on top of that i would have the red eyes on one layer. is there a way i can see all the gold but only the gold that will actually show up when i print it? basically like when they do prints, they print one color at a time and it's not like they overlap a bunch of layers. can i do that like on screen?
i guess if i had to i could do it in photohop, make a brush out of the red layer and erase those parts of the gold... but i dont want to do it that way, can i do it in illustrator?
thanks guys, i know that makes no sense...
if i have a bunch of objects overlapping each other

ALWAYS state what version you're using.
It sounds like you simply want to preview color separations on screen. If so, and if you have Acrobat Pro, you can:
1. Save the file as a press-ready PDF.
2. Open in Acrobat.
3. Preview the separations in the Advanced>PrintProduction>OutputPeview dialog.
Understand: "Color separations" means color as it will be sent to the individual printing plates, not individual "colors" you've used in the design (unless the design is entirely spot color). If that's what you want, you can:
1. Select an object of a particular color.
2. Use one of the Select Same commands in the Select menu.
3. Store the selection. (Select>SaveSelection)
4. Object>Hide>Selection (leaving other-colored objects visible)
5. Similarly store selections for each different color. Use the Hide Selection command on which every ones you don't want to see.

HOW TO SHOW ONE PAGE AT A TIME

Does anybody have a clue how to show one page at a time? I clicked Facing Pages in the Inspector and 2 columns of pages showed up. Now, I can't get it back to just one page showing up at a time. There must be a fix, but I don't' want to spend days on this. Many thanks.

Frank,
At the bottom left of the page, click on the zoom percentage, then select One-up from the menu.

My Viewing area only shows one photo at a time now :(

Yesterday I noticed that my viewing area only shows one photo at a time. It used to display thumbnails of all the photos in the selected event - or library. Now, I'm forced to scroll down and view them one at a time or go into edit mode to see some thumbnails across the top of the screen.
Did I accidently do this? Was it part of an OS update? (I've been away for a month and just don't think I did anything to cause a change...) Can anyone tell me how to view all the thumbnails in the viewing area again?
I'm using iphoto 08 version 7.1.5 (378)
I would very much appreciate some help with this.

Thank you so much!! I love simple answers. I actually spent a few hours on this - seemed to play and test all the settings - and I just didn't understand this application of that slider.
Thank you again.
I'm very happy.

Embed pdf in website, show one page at a time, with forward and back controls?

Hi,
Not sure if this is possible (or if this is the right place to ask), but I need to take a multiple page pdf, embed it in a website so its on the left half of the screen, have it only show one page at a time, and have the forward and back page controls.
Is this possible, and if so, could someone point me in the right direction?

Typically you would save it to a JPeg and post those on the web site. Expecting a PDF to show up depends on the client computer configuration and browser. This is too risky, unless you don't mind getting nasty little notes that it does not work. If you do it with JPegs, then all the browsers I know of can handle it. Then simply put the PDF separately for those who prefer to download the PDF and look at it separately.

Show One Page at a Time Default

Is there a way every time I open a pdf document the
default view will go to "show one page at a time" function?
I am using Adobe Acrobate 9

Go to Edit and select Preferences (Ctrl+K). Under categories, select "Page Display". Choose "single page" from the page layout drop down box under "Default layout and Zoom". Under Zoom, choose "fit page" and click OK.

Hello, I'm pretty sure my fan on my 2009 mac book pro has stopped running. Would this cause the computer to slow down and take for ever to boot up and show the color wheel every time I select an application ?

Hello, I'm pretty sure my fan on my 2009 mac book pro has stopped running. Would this cause the computer to slow down and take for ever to boot up and show the color wheel every time I select an application ? how involved to replace fan ? cost ?
thanks

Not directly, but if the CPU overheats because of incompatible software, that would cause slowdowns. Do not allow the computer to run if the fan is not working unless you wish to fry your motherboard. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

How to make vintage prints slide show one photo at a time?

Does anyone know to program the vintage prints slide show to display only one photo at a time?

The slideshow templates are fixed and can't be changed.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie, on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Express $199
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

Screen/Desktop Only showing one program at a time...

My mom called me in to look at her iMac earlier today. She said she was moving her illustrator window off to the side when all of the sudden it was "sucked" away to the left side of the screen. Now when she tries to bring up more than one window for different programs, it will only show windows from one program at a time. I have no clue what she has done and can't seem to find a way to fix this... Does anyone know what she has turned on and how can I turn it off?
Thanks!

sounds strange. I would try resetting dock and spaces preferences. delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and log out/in. your dock, spaces and exposé will be reset to the defaults.

Finder only shows one application at a time...

Hi all,
Hopefully someone can shed light on my dilemma.
After a system crash today I'm having problems in the Finder.
I can only have one application visible on screen at a time.
When I click the Desktop the Finder and any windows there come forward and the previous application is hidden.
If I'm in Safari and click the iCal icon in the Dock iCal comes forward and Safari is hidden.
Icons on the desktop are visible at all times and can be clicked / opened etc.
The only way to have other app windows on screen is to go to the Application Menu and choose "Show All". Clicking a window in another application hides everything again.
Hide "App Name" / Hide Others are both greyed out and I can't use Cmd-H to hide an app either.
I've deleted prefs for everything I can think of (Desktop, Dock, Finder) and opened most com.apple. prefs up to find a flag that's been tripped somewhere but to no avail.
It's acting like the old Mac OS where you could have this as an option in the General Settings Control Panel (from memory...)
Safe Boot didn't help whilst logging into my other users show none of the symptoms. Obviously It's something in my log in that is causing the problem but I don't know where else to look!
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Michael

Edit Appraisals: Notes only shows one row at a time

Under the Employee Review tab of MSS-->Edit Appraisals, when I click to create an appraisal, the appraisal form in our system has areas to add notes. However, in the portal, the area to add notes is only 1 row. It is scrollable, but you can only see one row of text at a time. How can I expand the notes area/editor to show multiple lines of text?

Turns out the configuration is on the R/3 side when setting up the Appraisal. There is an option for number of lines for notes.

Flex Builder shows one error at a time

Hi folks,
I am new to flex. I have written a sample application in ActionScript. When I tried to build the application I am not able to see all my compile time errors at a single time. Following is the brief summary of the Issue occured while building the sample application:
          - First time one compliation error is shown.
          - After fixing this compilation error
          - Another compilation error is shown.(remember this error exists even at first time also) (and so on)
Can't I see all the compilation errors at once (so that I can fix all my errors at one shot) in Flex Builder?
(Note: I have the 'strict' mode enabled for the flex project)
Thanks,
Vamsi

It depends on the error. If your error is confusing the heck out of the compiler, the compiler might not be able to reason about the rest of your source code, so it won't catch the rest of your errors. It also depends on the compiler--smarter compilers can show you more informative errors, or more errors at a time.
I've found that most of the time, FlexBuilder is pretty good at reporting multilpe errors. Unfortunately, when it's not, there's not much you can do.

Showing one rating at a time.

I notice that when viewing by rating (1, 2, 3, stars...) the program defaults to viewing the rating you choose and above. So, say I want to just see four star photos, it's showing me four and five star photos. Is there any way to set the rating function to only show those star rated photos I want to see? Or am I using the rating system wrong? Thanks.
Daniel

Thank you so much, John. I think I am needing a larger screen. ;-)
My wife and I realized we needed a larger LCD TV when we keep moving our 19in screen closer and closer to us. So we upgraded to a 32 in. The other night I said, "maybe we should move the TV closer." I guess it's time for both a TV and LCD upgrade.
Take care,
Daniel

My iphoto library is only showing one picture at a time

While working in iphoto today my library browser went from multiple pictures to only one. The library shows 5K plus pictures, but can't budge off the one picture. What's up?

It was the slider, right?

Only showing one program at a time?

I used to be able to have firefox open behind the word program I was working on, then click to the firefox to do a quick search (would go on top of word document, but word doc could still be seen) then I could click right back to the word document & vice versa. All of a sudden when I click word only the word will open & hides firefox. When I open firefox it makes the word document disappear! How to fix this!?!?!

Hi k,
You can stretch one window horizontally and one vertically so it's a little bigger than the other one, then click on the window behind the window to make it active. You can also just click on the icon of the desired app in the dock.

How do I make preview show only one page at a time in full screen

When I show a document using full screen (or slideshow) in Preview, it shows two pages at a time. I just want to show one at a time, but can't find anything that lets me specify this. There is no relevant Preference that I can see, and if I check single page in view and then choose full screen or slideshow in view, the first page is displayed fine, but then subsequent pages are displayed two up.

Hi, Eric,
Thanks. It looks like I didn't quite make my question clear enough, though.
I want to show a multi-page document one page at a time. If I open it and choose "full screen" in view, I get the first page showing just fine. But if I then use the arrow to go to the second page, Preview shows two pages (#2 and 3), and then continues to show the rest of the document two pages at a time when I advance using the arrow.
I want to show one page at a time, and be able to advance to the next page using the arrow.
Can I do this in Preview?
Thanks,
Russ
