Signature capture - change color?

Using Preview in Lion (10.7.x) it is possible to capture one's signature to digitally sign a PDF.
Is it possible to insert the captured signature in a DIFFERENT color? It always inserts as black. When first inserting the signature, it is possible to change the color. However, the color returns to black after being saved.
Any ideas?

It doesn't seem to be possible on Preview as is. However there is a way around which isn't too complicated (atleast for me). Once you've signed in the colour of your preference and it looks good on the screen, do the following:
1. On the top menu, go to File>Take Screen Shot>From Selection. It will prompt you to make a selection.
2. At this point, select the entire page of your document. Make sure to select the entire page to maintain the original page dimensions. If the original page is portrait, rotate it so you can see the entire page on your screen without minimising it too much. This will open a new file in preview with your screen shot selection.
3. Now save this new file. By default it saves it in png format, however you can select pdf as the format to save in. If you had to rotate the page as I have described in step 2, you can rotate it back to it's original layout
The quality of your signature will be exactly how you see it, if at the time of selecting the screenshot, your view is zoomed to 100% or close to it (that is why I suggest rotating portrait pages to landscape).
Hope this helps!

Changing color and contrast before capturing analog video?

Is it possible to change color (colorcast / saturation and contrast etcetera) before capturing analog video in Final Cut (software)? I have some old dv tapes I would like to upscale to hd and are considering to upscale via the super vhs outlet / connector on the camera through an I/O box (maybe Matrox).
Do you loose much quality when compared to capturing from DV (digital capture)? I would like to make "a first generation" good capture.....

You would need a capture card and a deck with built in controls, or an external TBC that works with compatible decks. Not every deck allows for this external control.
S-VHS or component out would be lesser quality than straight DV capture via firewire. Via firewire it is lossless...straight digital capture. analog capture is a loss of quality. Capture as DV and then upscale with After Effects or Compressor...or get a DV deck with SDI out and capture with...oh, the Mini doesn't do SDI. You'd need the MXO2 LE for best quality capture. With your options, the best bet would be capture as DV and then use Compressor. Or spring for the Matrox MXO2 LE.
Sorry, good quality costs...

Change colors & attach pics in Mail signatures

Hi,
Im trying to attach a logo to my MAIL signature, and change some of the font presets (adding colour or BOLD etc).
I dont seem to be able to edit it in this way...
Can anyone suggest how I achieve this?
Thanks!

I haven't tried it, but take a look at http://allforces.com/2006/04/14/css-signatures/ . That might help do what you want.

How to programmatically change color of arc in cwknob

trying to change color of arc in cwknob control conditonally

I'm not entirely sure what part of the control you are referring to by "arc". Can you elaborate?
If you mean the (by default) black line that the pointer points to when you choose a meter style and to which the major and minor ticks are connected, you can change its color with the following code:
CWKnob1.Axis.Ticks.MajorTickColor = vbYellow
If you looked for and didn't find the property you need, I suggest you check out the properties of the Axis subobject of the knob. People frequently overlook this important subobject of the knob and slide.
In general, if you are able to configure a property on any property page except the Advanced property page, you should be able to configure it programmatically.
If my suggestions above don't get the job done
for you, you could take screen capture of the control, drop it in Paint, circle the portion of the control you want to configure, and attach it to a response to this post.

Failed to load Signature Capture Applet

Hello Experts!
I am implementing MAM3.0 laptop.I created the Signature Capture addon as per the note 897289. When i try to use the signature capture functionality, i get a message failed to initialize the applet and the applet doesn't get loaded.
Please can anyone help me with this.
Warm Regards,
Priya Ghosh

Hi,
well, could have several reasons.
The most common one is, you unfortunately use the wrong files. Either CAB with SUN or JAR with Microsoft.
I think the reason is: you have changed the IE JVM from Microsoft to SUN, meaning, that with the installation of JDK1.4 or later, you have overwritten the pre installed JVM from Microsoft with the one from SUN - so in that case you should use the JAR file and tell the setup procedure that your JVM is SUN and not Microsoft. At least that was the case for me last time as I faced this problem. Some users have mentioned the oposite problem. Even they are on a PC they have used the JAR files - but using the Microsoft VM in IE. In that case......
At least: check the version of the file and the setup procedure and try both version - as I said, that was my problem last time.
Hope this helps to solve the issue.

Oliver

Bright areas on imported footage change color

Having just returned from shooting interviews at a trade show, I decided to give FCP X a go. I downloaded the trial version and imported some footage. When I import footage shot on our Sony Z1 (HDV), all areas that are near or over 100 IRE start changing color (as illustrated in this screen shot. Even graphics that are imported with white levels below 100 IRE have colors mixed up (black type turns white, colors invert, etc.)
When I import the footage into FCP 7, it displays and renders just fine. If I capture the footage in FCP 7 then import into FCP X, I get the same result as shown in the screen shot. It looks like some type of clipping indicator, but I've found nothing that shows it can be turned off
While further researching the issue, I shot some footage on my Pentax K7 to see what it would do. The results are below. As you can see, anything that should be white (in the backyard) is black, even though none of the whites exceed 100 IRE.
Interestingly, when I render out the footage, it all looks correct. Is there some kind of clipping indicator overlay function that exists in FCP X, and if so, how do I turn the bloody thing off?
Thanks in advance!

See if this thread helps.

Signature capture solution for HP Elitepad 900 G1

Hi, Without the harness of docking station, is there a solution to integrate signature capture function for retail business with the stand-alone ElitePad 900 G1 ( compatible with Microsoft RMS 2.0) Thanks very much for your help! Howard Chen

I think i've solved this problem. (Sorry for my English, but i'm Italian).
The solution is very simple, i tried it more time and in my opinion, it work.
We need only to disable "Fast Startup" options in Windows 8 / 8.1
-WIN + X keys, then go to "Power Options"
-"Choose what the power button do" (click on it)
-"Change settings that are currently unavaiable" (click)
-In "Shoutdown settings" UNCHECK "Turn on fast startup (recommended)"
Please tell me if it works also for you.

Signature capture overwritten files..?

Hi guys,
I've just enabled succesfully the signature capture functionality in order to test it on my laptop. However, I noticed that the sign is captured in "C:\Program Files\SAP Mobile Infrastructure\work\sigdata.gif" and afterwards every new sign overwrites the old one, so actually only the last created one exists.
1) Does it means after every signing the user should synchronise..?
2) Call of MAM30_80 unfortunately ends with
Return code from RFC BAPI Wrapper call:Error occurred during character conversion
do you have any idea how this can be overcome..?
3) As far as I can remember from somewhere in the coding, the maximum size the sigdata.gif can have is 4K, right?
Best Regards,
Lalo

Hi LAlo,
well, yes, the file is overwritten, but that is not that problematic!
The procedure is as folows: you save the file to the local disk - then with the screenchange MI reads the file and puts it into the SyncBO with reference to the actual data. So when you create the next signature, it is the same procedure, but a new syncbo is crearted. So yes, the GIF file itself contains always the last signature, but in the persistence you have all the GIFs since the last sync.
A gif can be larger 4KB, but it is unusual that it is. This is due to the size, the GIF format as such and that it is only 2 color. (Black/white) putting that into account, the size is usually smaller. But cause MI can only handel 255chars per field, the GIF is splitted into several items. Look into the persistence, there you can see that.
What confuses me a little is your error message - I think it happensat sync time and it is the error thrown in the middlewqare, cause you talk about the BAPI wrapper? If this is the case, go briefly again to the installation sequence and check if you have done the setup and installation correctly and if all notes are in. And then: you can look into the data on the middleware in MEREP_MON. Open the create handler in the backend and enter the data manually - this will give you a better idea about the error and will give you a hint how to solve it. Unfortunately it was morking always fine for me, so I can not really be helpfull on this bit, cause I never had that error.
But hopefully the other 2 points got more clear for you now.

Oliver

Images Change Colors between monitors while the UI stays the same

Hey! Im having an issue where photoshop changes the colors when I move the window between my monitors, seen here: http://sta.sh/04y5s60vf3j This isnt due to the monitors themselves being different, it actually changes after a few seconds of moving it inbetween the monitors. The left one has been callibrated with a spyder 3 elite which I no longer have access to. I applied the file with windows color management instead of the spyder utility. The second one is new, and it is not callibrated by anything, but instead was done by hand with the built in brightness/contrast/custom RGB settings. Both of them are very close to eachother, enough so for my tastes. but when photoshop changes what the image looks like, it's causing problems. Interestingly enough, when I disable callibration for the monitor on the left, the image does not change colors between monitors, but instead always appears as it does on the right. but then they don't match up and the whole screen looked washed out because it's uncallibrated, so that doesnt do me any good. Another interesting thing to point out, is when this image is saved as a .JPG, and viewed with firefox the image appears exactly like the monitor on the LEFT (which is my main monitor) despite the left monitor being the one that is force changed. does anyone have any suggestions? It also appears that windows photoviewer is behaving the same way, though firefox does not. Meaning when I open an image in all 3 on the left monitor, they look the same, but when opened on the right monitor, windows photo viewer and photoshop both display the image as brighter and redder than firefox does. This is frustrating, because it seems photoshop is changing the image with my callibration on my left monitor to match what it looks like on the web, which it does. but it doesn't do this for the right monitor, or when the left is uncallibrated. Another issue I can see with this is even if the UI is the same shade of gray, the images are different between the monitors because of this change. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Alright! So I reread through all this, poked at some things on the internet, and I'm going to attempt to summarize what would be a good solution for all this (And it seems, it still won't be perfect, but to get myself into the best environment I can for not messing with images for an hour trying to make them look nice before I post them to the web. I painted something yesterday on the cintiq, popped it over to my laptop screen and it just looked washed out and terrible.)
1. Get a X-rite EODIS3 i1 Display Pro, Callibrate laptop and cintiq. I do have the money to drop on something like this, especially if it's a time saver.
     Things I'm not sure about:
          a. There was a ton of complaints about the software not working when I checked reviews, but also a ton that said everything was great. most of them were mac users though.
          b. I'm not sure if problems would still be posed, even while calibrated, by me having a wide gamut monitor.
          c. I'm a terrible excuse for a human being and I think the colors showing up brighter on the wide gamut screen is pretty (I should just make my images this bright on a normal screen and there won't be any issues. >.>)
2. Set Firefox to color manage (easy enough)
3. Change my photoshop working space to sRGB (since they'll have been calibrated at this point)
3. Accept the fact that most of the people who look at my work will be doing so on a monitor that is almost certainly uncalibrated, and I can't control what they will see on my screen, but I CAN control if the colors are -actually- what I want them to be on any properly calibrated device. which is probably the best way to go anyways.
4. Make paintings, have fun.
Now, you two have been going on about all sorts of interesting things in here, and it seems that calibration issue run much much deeper than I ever thought. Do either of you have recommendations for how I should tweak this list of things to do or other things I can/ should do? I'm not currently a working professional, but if I have anything to say about it, I will be within a few years (I'm going to school for illustration and studying concept design on my own time) so it'd be useful for me to get into good habits now.

You can capture the signature by listening to pointer messages and storing the points as they come through. You can then render them as Path segments.

Can anyone tell me why a picture would change color when I try to download/upload it? It is the exact same picture- chosen the same way and when it goes to any other program it changes the color (I've tried canvas on demand and mpixpro. I've also tried

Can anyone tell me why this picture changes color when I try to download/upload it? It is the exact same picture I have taken from the same location. The image on the left is via preview and the image on the right is what is shows like when I try to download it. I have emailed it to myself and it shows fine on the computer and in CS4, but when I look at the download via my phone or on another computer it shows the wonky color on the right. I have checked the color space shows RGB/8 bit. Any ideas why or how to fix it? It isn't with any one specific session.... and I've tried it on both my desktop and my laptop- saved image to an external hard drive and to drop box. I've tried sending the image to canvas on demand, my email, mpxipro, POST editing- all the same result. Please HELP!! What am I doing wrong?

Most of the time you see something like that. The image in question has a color profile other then sRGB. Some image viewers/displayers are color managed and others are not. So the image do not look the same in all of the applications you use. So colors seem to change.
Try converting it to sRGB color and see if then looks the same all around. Also I think PC and Mac displays are set to different gamma something like 1.8 and 2.2
Though I'm colorblind I even see color variations.

How to change color of selected label from list of labels?

My Problem is that I have a list of labels. RowHeaderRenderer is a row header renderer for Jtable which is rendering list items and (labels).getListTableHeader() is a method to get the list. When we click on the label this code is executed:
getListTableHeader().addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter()
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
if (e.getClickCount() >= 1)
int index = getListTableHeader().locationToIndex(e.getPoint());
try
if (((ae_AlertEventInfo)theAlerts.values().toArray()[index]).ackRequiredFlag)
AcknowledgeEvent ackEvent = new AcknowledgeEvent(
this, (ae_AlertEventInfo)theAlerts.values().toArray()[index]);
fireAcknowledgeEvent(ackEvent);
((HeaderListModel)listModel).setElementAt(ACK, index);
catch(Exception ex) {;}
Upon mouse click color of the label should be changed. For some period of time ie. Upto completion of fireAcknowledgeEvent(ackEvent);
This statement is calling this method:
public void handleAcknowledgeEvent(final AcknowledgeEvent event)
boolean ackOk = false;
int seqId = ((ae_AlertEventInfo)event.getAlertInfo()).sequenceId;
if (((ae_AlertEventInfo)event.getAlertInfo()).ackRequiredFlag)
try
// perform call to inform server about acknowledgement.
ackOk = serviceAdapter.acknowledge(seqId,
theLogicalPosition, theUserName);
catch(AdapterException aex)
Log.error(getClass(), "handleAcknowledgeEvent()",
"Error while calling serviceAdapter.acknowledge()", aex);
ExceptionHandler.handleException(aex);
else
// Acknowledge not required...
ackOk = true;
//theQueue.buttonAcknowledge.setEnabled(false);
final AlertEventQueue myQueue = theQueue;
if (ackOk)
Object popupObj = null;
synchronized (mutex)
if( hasBeenDismissed ) { return; }
// mark alert event as acknowledged (simply reset ack req flag)
ae_AlertEventInfo info;
Iterator i = theAlerts.values().iterator();
while (i.hasNext())
info = (ae_AlertEventInfo) i.next();
if (info.sequenceId == seqId)
// even if ack wasn't required, doesn't hurt to set it
// to false again. But it is important to prevent the
// audible from playing again.
info.ackRequiredFlag = false;
info.alreadyPlayed = true;
// internally uses the vector index so
// process the queue acknowledge update within
// the synchronize block.
final ae_AlertEventInfo myAlertEventInfo = event.getAlertInfo();
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
public void run()
myQueue.acknowledge(myAlertEventInfo);
myQueue.updateAcknowledgeButtonState();
// here we should stop playing sound
// if it is playing for this alert.
int seqId1;
if (theTonePlayer != null)
seqId1 = theTonePlayer.getSequenceId();
if (seqId1 == seqId)
if (! theTonePlayer.isStopped())
theTonePlayer.stopPlaying();
theTonePlayer = null;
// get reference to popup to be dismissed...
// The dismiss must take place outside of
// the mutex... otherwise threads potentially
// hang (user hits "ok" and is waiting for the
// mutex which is currently held by processing
// for a "move to summary" transition message.
// if the "dismiss" call in the transition
// message were done within the mutex, it might
// hang on the dispose method because the popup
// is waiting for the mutex...
// So call popup.dismiss() outside the mutex
// in all cases.
if(event.getSource() instanceof AlertEventPopup)
popupObj = (AlertEventPopup)event.getSource();
else
popupObj = thePopups.get(event.getAlertInfo());
thePopups.remove(event.getAlertInfo());
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
public void run()
// search vector elements to determine icon color in main frame
String color = getColor();
fireUpdateEvent(new UpdateEvent(this, blinking, color));
// Call dismiss outside of the mutex.
if (popupObj !=null)
if(popupObj instanceof AlertEventPopup)
((AlertEventPopup)popupObj).setModal(false);
((AlertEventPopup)popupObj).setVisible(false); // xyzzy
((AlertEventPopup)popupObj).dismiss();
else
// update feedback... ack failed
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
public void run()
myQueue.setInformationMessage("Acknowledge failed to reach server... try again");
return;
Code for RowHeaderRenderer is:
class RowHeaderRenderer extends JLabel implements ListCellRenderer
JTable theTable = null;
ImageIcon image = null;
RowHeaderRenderer(JTable table)
image = new ImageIcon(AlertEventQueue.class.getResource("images" + "/" + "alert.gif"));
theTable = table;
JTableHeader header = table.getTableHeader();
setOpaque(true);
setHorizontalAlignment(LEFT);
setForeground(header.getForeground());
setBackground(header.getBackground());
setFont(header.getFont());
public Component getListCellRendererComponent( JList list, Object value,
int index, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus)
int level = 0;
try
level = Integer.parseInt(value.toString());
catch(Exception e)
level = 0;
if (((ae_AlertEventInfo)theAlerts.values().toArray()[index]).ackRequiredFlag)
setBorder(UIManager.getBorder("TableHeader.cellBorder"));
this.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
this.setVerticalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
setIcon(image);
else
setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.gray));
setText("");
setIcon(null);
return this;
I tried but when i am clicking a particular label, the color of all labels in the List is being changed. So can you please assist me in changing color of only the label that is selected and the color must disappear after completion of Upto completion of fireAcknowledgeEvent(ackEvent);

im a bit confused with the post so hopefully this will help you, if not then let me know.
I think the problem is that in your renderer your saying
setBackground(header.getBackground());which is setting the backgound of the renderer rather than the selected item, please see an example below, I created a very simple program where it adds JLabels to a list and the renderer changes the colour of the selected item, please note the isSelected boolean.
Object "value" is the currentObject its rendering, obviously you may need to test if its a JLabel before casting it but for this example I kept it simple.
populating the list
public void populateList(){
        DefaultListModel model = new DefaultListModel();
        for (int i=0;i<10;i++){
            JLabel newLabel = new JLabel(String.valueOf(i));
            newLabel.setOpaque(true);
            model.addElement(newLabel);
        this.jListExample.setModel(model);
        this.jListExample.setCellRenderer(new RowHeaderRenderer());
    }the renderer
class RowHeaderRenderer extends JLabel implements ListCellRenderer
    JTable theTable = null;
    public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList list, Object value,
                                                  int index, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus){
        JLabel aLabel = (JLabel)value;
        if (isSelected){
            aLabel.setBackground(Color.RED);
        }else{
            aLabel.setBackground(Color.GRAY);
        return aLabel;
}

Changing color without modifying existing items.. problem!

Hello,
I'm reletively new to flash, and am trying to modify a template and am running into a problem and I don't seem to know why Flash is acting so strange.
I am going into a movie clip to edit the color of an item, and when I do so with a tint, it overrides any additional effects such as light, and text. The color appears almost as if it were just slapped on top of everything.
When I edit the color in advanced mode, it is really a hit-or-miss to get the correct color, and will only modify when changing the offset RGB.
And also when doing this, the text gradually changes color, for example: there are 4 items in total that I want to edit the color of. Each item is a different colored box with text on the front (for a main Navigation of the website). --- The first item, the text will stay white. Gradually through the second and third items it starts to change, and by the fourth / last item, the text is completely blue.
Is it possible for a portion of text to be connected somehow to an object within the animation in a movieclip? If so, is it possible to go inside and edit this? -the shape, animation, and text?
Is there an easier way to change the color of an item inside a movie clip? I can supply additional information if needed.. files etc.
Am I doing something wrong / completely missing something?
Thank you very much in advance for any help and/or advice!
New Flasher,
Lisa

go one level deeper than the movieclip so you're editing the shape.
