Splitting layers, kind of

Hi, I have a Photoshop graphic of text surrounded by tree branches.  The branches are on separate layers and I want them to go through letters with holes in the middle and I want the branches to have layer styles such as bevel and emboss.
My question is how do I change the layers so that the branch layer is in front before it goes through the letter and behind when it has gone through.  I know I could create separate layers for the different sections of the branch but then I would have problems with the bevel and emboss.
I have seen this done in a demo years ago but I can't remember how it's done, nor can I find any relevant info.
I am using CS3 on the Mac
I hope you can help.
Thanks
Dean

The g and the l form the base layer.  The horizontal branch at this intersection I want to be behind (ignore the intersection to the bottom left).  At other points the horizontal branch is in front other sections of the g and l.  As you can see, the intersection shows the bevel and emboss of both elements which isn't the desired result.  I have tried the method with and without smart objects.

  • Java File Splitting

    Hi,
    We're working on a distributed file processing project. My friend told me we can split files using a command in Java. I searched for it but found no such command. It's not like splitting a text file according to the number of characters, but splitting any kind of file into smaller pieces. Is there a command for that in Java or will we have to write a whole program for it?

You will have to write your own, or have a look at Apache's IO library: chances are they have something like it.

  • File splitting

    Hi,
    We're working on a distributed file processing project. My friend told me we can split files using a method in Java. I searched for it but found no such method. It's not like splitting a text file reading it line by line, but splitting any kind of file like, say, movie/music/picture into smaller pieces. Is there a method for that in Java or will we have to write a whole program for it?

    Santhosh, maybe you're speaking about text files only...Not necessarily. Your problem can be solved by
    1. Determining a file size for your output chunks.
    2. Using FileInputStream to read a number of bytes equal to the output size into a byte array.
    3. Using FileOutputStream to write the byte array.
    4. Repeat 2 and 3 until all of the input file has been read (and written).

  • How to split table records

    Hi Gurus,
    Need your help in this.
    I am trying to split records in a table through ABAP routine. Following is the source table with 2 records
    To split the record I wrote the following code in Start routine
    DATA: ITAB_SOURCE TYPE _ty_t_SC_1,
           WA_SOURCE TYPE _ty_s_SC_1,
           TMP_COUNTER TYPE I VALUE 1.
    LOOP AT SOURCE_PACKAGE ASSIGNING <SOURCE_FIELDS>.
       CLEAR WA_SOURCE.
       MOVE <SOURCE_FIELDS> TO WA_SOURCE.
       TMP_COUNTER = 1.
       DO 12 TIMES.
         WA_SOURCE-CALMONTH2 = TMP_COUNTER.
         APPEND WA_SOURCE TO ITAB_SOURCE.
         TMP_COUNTER = TMP_COUNTER + 1.
         ENDDO.
         "TMP_COUNTER = 1.
       ENDLOOP.
       "REFRESH SOURCE_PACKAGE.
       MOVE ITAB_SOURCE TO SOURCE_PACKAGE
    However I could see only 1 record being split. Kindly point out the flaw in my routine.Following is the result for the routine.
    Please help

    it's already defined as a table, hence the update of 12 records
    the note (1258089) is really straight forward... not sure what I could add to make it more clear to you? you're obviously in scenario 1... instead of "changing" the value of WA_SOURCE-CALMONTH2 you'll also have to "update" the value of WA_SOURCE-RECORD
    your initial records have values 1 (for employee 9000125) and 2 (for employee 9001673) for RECORD
    since you don't correctly update the values for RECORD, they're just being overwritten in your second loop

  • How do I split a large video file into seperate episodes/files?

    Hello all,
    I have a 52 minute long video that I need to split into 3 seperate files before I can edit it (so I can upload it to youtube as 3 separate episodes). I know how to split layers and do all the basic editing etcetera, but I am stumped on how to turn those split layers into separate files.
    Any help on this issue is much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    I thought of a work around that I should have thought of days ago. It can even be done in windows movie maker it's that simple.
    I will end up just splitting the original video clip and deleting the latter half of the video and saving the first clip and then reloading the original source file again and repeating the process with the following clip.
    I can include a little bit of the previous episode in the following one that way as well. Tried rendering the full 52 minute video but it ended up stuck on 99% so just stopped and I will go about splitting it in the above mentioned way.
    However, thanks for the comments both of you.

  • Native B4 with Logic Pro question

    Hi !
    I'm using Native B4 with an M-Audio Keystation 88es.
    My question is... is there any way I can channel a ride cymbal to play along with the B4 in the lower keyboard split? (In other words I have one keyboard. I would be walking lower manual bass in my left hand, but a ride would be playing along with it, similar to a bass/ride split on a piano.)
    Can someone explain this step by step or refer me to the page in the manual?
    Thx !

    The environment is a playpen for this kind of stuff - it's MIDI processing facilities beat anything else out there.
    In the environment, create a new instrument - call it "Split". Assign it to the current track in the arrange page by clicking on it with the "MIDI Thru" tool (or just select it on an arrange track in the usual way).
    This instrument is the instrument that we play. Now, create two new instruments (called "left" and "right"), and cable the "Split" instrument to the "left" one. As second output triangle will appear on "Split", so cable the second output to the "right" instrument. This way, the notes you play get sent to both of these two new instruments.
    "Left" is going to be our left keyboard split. Adjust the low note and high note values to cover the keyboard range you want the organ to cover.
    Similarly, adjust the note range of "Right" so it's lowest note starts at the highest note set on "Left".
    Lastly, cable the output of "Left" to the audio instrument holding your organ, and the output of "Right" to your drum thing. You can adjust the transpose values on either of "Left" and "Right" to play the desired range.
    You've just used the environment to set up a simple keyboard split across two virtual instruments.
    In the same way, you can set up multi-keyboard splits, layers with crossfading, velocity splits and many other cool stuff across multiple instruments.

  • Error at Migo of Stock Transfer.

    Hi Experts,
    During MIGO(Goods Receipt) against  STO(stock transfer Order)  of Finished Goods,  in previous date the message coming is :-
    MARC-VMTRA exceeded by 32.000 BOX : 49 DROO 0007 MFGPRODUCT
    49 is material no
    droo is plant
    mfgproduct is split valuation.
    kindly guide me what does it mean and in which direction should I proceed to solve the problem.
    Thanks
    Anupam.

    you only have 17 in transit in the previous period.
    Just use SE16 at table MARC. and check what value you see in the field VMTRA.
    You cannot receive more than the quantity that was issued.
    If really 49 were issue in the previoius month, then any other goods receipt  (or goods issue cancellation) must have been made that had reduced the in-transfer stock.
    Check this with MB51.

  • What does it take to write script/plugin for Motion?

    Hi,
    I have no clue about this but I was wondering what would it take to write a plugin/script for M5? I'm thinking about something like "Ease & Wizz", "Split Layers", or "Rubberize it" like for after effects ?
    Thanks

    Well, much of that is already done in Motion with various parameter and object behaviors.  But what can and can not be done in FxPlug, well, I'd find a developer and ask them.  They're all pretty nice about sharing information, just not company secrets.  I'm not a programmer.  I know "of" FxPlug", I know the basic structure, but I'm far from a programer.  If you learned FxPlug, you'd probably also want to dive into Quartz Composer, too.  Tons of stuff in FCPX, Motion, and other apps, are built with Quartz Composer.  I know just enough of QC to destroy whatever it is I'm trying to build, not enough to do anything real with.  They're both relatively easy if you are dedicated enough.

  • Employee cost should hit to Internal order

    Dear Friends,
    We started new plant and  hired employers ,cost center profit center not ready yet( we created one Internal order as over head order ).
    Employee Cost through Payroll  so HR People has already created a new Organizational Unit and we have tagged it to an Internal Order.  We have hired some test employees and have run payroll for this newly hired employees.
    So the system is throwing the following errors.
    Error 1)*Account assignment objects are incorrect. No substitution is possible.*
    *Message no. 3G209*
    *Diagnosis*
    *The account assignment object check showed that, from the point of view of CO, the specified account assignment is not valid, and cannot be replaced by the employee's master cost center or a substitute cost center. This item cannot be posted.*
    Error 2)Internal error: No valid return value for segment found
    Message no. 3G330
    Diagnosis
    No valid value was returned as a result of the segment check. The Customizing settings for the general ledger, however, request a value for the account assignment of the segment.
    Error 3)No segment found
    Message no. FAGL_ORG_UNITS007
    Diagnosis
    No segment could be derived for the current line.
    However, in the Customizing settings for General Ledger Accounting, you have selected the segment as a mandatory balancing field. This means that a segment must be assigned in each line item.
    System Response
    The posting is rejected.
    Procedure
    Edit your segment derivation or make changes to the Customizing settings for document splitting.
    Kindly suggest me onthis its very urgent.
    Regards,
    Sudha.

    Dear Raviteja,
    Thanks for your Reply ,
    Allready i checked the link which you have provided but our case is different.
    Actually the Employee Cost should hit to Internal order not  to cost center.(that is our requirement)
    While creating internal order i didnt maintain  any profit center bcoz cost center and profit centers are not ready yet for time being we are planning to move Employee cost to internal order later we will settle to Cost centers once its ready.
    Thanks & regards,
    Swapna.

  • Applying effects to selective frames in a video clip

    Question: What is the best way to add a mask only to certain frames in clips of a sequence on Premier Pro CC using After Effects (i.e., a single frame mode)?
    I am trying to fix a keyed video, but only need to fix frames here and there and  do not want to animate it.
    In the past, I have used the following methodology:
    SUMMARY: Remove, modify, render, export, and then re-insert each frame that needs to be fixed (one by one) starting in Premiere Pro (CS5, CS6, or CC) and using After Effects (CS5, CS6, or CC) using the following steps:
    1) Open a timeline with the entire video sequence
    2) Cut the frame that needs to be fixed out of the timeline sequence, basically leaving a one frame hole
    3) Apply the mask, filter, or other effect to the frame within After Effects
    4) Export the modified frame in the format of the original sequence (recommended) as a new one frame clip
    5) Import the result back into your open Premiere project
    6) Drop the imported one frame clip back into the original sequence in the spot where it was cut from
    7) Repeat for each frame
    8) Finally, re-export the entire project to the final desired format.
    There has to be an easier way than this.
    NOTE: The cross-launch function between Premiere Pro (PPro) and After Effects (AE), where a new AE project is opened by selecting this option in a PPro project/sequence, is very confusing and awkward to use, and has never been useful for me when doing other operations such as Color Channel modifications or channel replacement/swapping. So unless there is something within this function that will do the job, and then re-create the new video export faster, then I have ruled using this out.

    If you just have a few frames to mask then start your mask in a safe spot just start your mask where you need it to work, animate the mask for the few frames you need, then,  when the mask is no longer needed move forward one frame and move the mask clear off the shot. Copy the mask keyframe, move to the first keyframe for that mask and then back one more frame and paste. Your mask will now be off the shot completely, jump into position when needed, then jump back off the shot. Problem solved without splitting layers or doing anything else funky with the shot.
    In many cases, if you need a lot of masking to fix a key you can solve the problem with another instance of your keyed (Keylight) on a duplicate layer and then use that copy as a track matte for the first. I do this all the time. Sometimes I'll have as many as 4 or 5 copies of the footage, all keyed differently removing different parts of the background, each with a different garbage matte, and then combining them all using track matte to produce the final plate for compositing.
