Styles and Transparent Elements (R 9.0.2)

Hello,
I want to create a portalstyle with transparent elements.
Sample:
My Style defindes white cellbackground.
My customized LoginPortlet uses this color and covers the backgroundimage.
It seems, that it is not possible to use transparency within styles.
Regards,
Frank G.

Hello Frank
You can use transparency in styles by leaving the color attribute blank.

Styles in Premiere and Photoshop Elements not the same!

I have Elements Premiere and Photoshop v11. I created a menu using an image with some text in Premiere for a video.. Later on I decided to duplicate the effort using Photoshop.. In Premiere I used a text style called "Lithos Gold Strokes 52". Now, in Photoshop they styles are called Graphics and the Text Graphics doesn't have this Style.. So they don't seem to be the same across both applications. How can I get the "Lithos Gold Strokes 52" Style in Photoshop?
Rgds,
Viking

After finally having solved this problem, I thought I'd post the link to the original solution which has been archived. For me, the important thing was to delelet all registry entries related to Elements, rebooting and starting Elements again.

Find element by object styles and copy it

Hello, I would like to create a script.
Find element by object styles :
Outside of document, I create on block with the object style "reference". This will be unique.
After selected, I want to put it on CLIPBOARD or just do a copy.
If selected by object styles isn't possible, how i can make a id on my element?
Can you help me?
Thancks a lot!

Thank a lot!
So, I have a find/change with a grep code.
I copy an element, and I launch the search. My requete says "when you find this, paste".
I use a javascript which do all my find/change like this :
var myTextFrame = app.selection[0];
var myStory = myTextFrame.parentStory;
app.loadFindChangeQuery ('PuceSimple_enPuceCouleur_Courant', SearchModes.grepSearch);
myStory.changeGrep();
This work very well, so If I select my element, I copy, I select my texframe, I run the script all is OK.
But I would like that script do this :
I select my texframe and run my script : it copy element (it find by label or object style) and run the find/change grep.
I put it some shots :
1 : you see that my element is selected, it has a object style name, a label name. I think that it will be outside the page. I copy it.
2. I run the find/change
3 it's work !
Do you understant what I want to do in scripting ?

Do you know why the span style="color: Transparent;" build tag is set in topics as if by magic?

Hello,
We are using Robohelp 9 - 9.0.1.232
It happens that some topics contain the <span style="color: Transparent;"> build tag.
It seems that RH9 sets this tag by its own. We do not manage such tags.
We come upon this while viewing one of our compiled CHM files. There was a big empty space inside a paragraph.
We opened and found that the text was present. Using the HTML view, we discovered that the empty space in the CHM file corresponded to a paragraph included in the <span style="color: Transparent;"> build tag.
For example, this morning, looking at a topic of another CHM file, we found When the tool runs,. The rest of the sentence was included in a <span style="color: Transparent;"> build tag.
This is extremely annoying, as we do not know that this tag is set, until we discover it. We ar elikely to deliver doc with missing information without knowing it, until a customer complains.
Has anyone encountered this or has an idea about this? How can we prevent RH9 from setting this tag?
Thanks for your help

Hi there
First, let's get a bit clearer on our terminology, shall we?
What you are seeing is not a "Build Tag". Sure, the Span indicates a tag and it's there when you build, but a "Build Tag" is a special tag inside RoboHelp that you apply to specific content that you wish to omit from the build using a counterpart known as a "Build Expression".
A Build Tag in RoboHelp looks like this:
<?rh-cbt_start condition="InProgress" ?>New model coming<?rh-cbt_end ?>
What you are reporting is an inline styling element.
Is this a project that began life in RoboHelp 9? Or was it created in an earlier version and was upgraded along the way? Does the same thing occur with a totally new topic you create?
Cheers... Rick

SVG to PDF/AI gradient and transparency issues

This is probably quite off topic for these forums, so apologies for that up front, but I can't seem to get answers in more appropriate places.
I am trying to use inkscape or rsvg-convert, which both use cairo, to convert SVG to PDF.
Firstly, when I open the SVG in Illustrator directly, everything works as expected, but the cairo converted PDF has a couple of problems.
Typically I get "An unknown shading type was encountered" and the offending shapes are un-editable "images" with a clipping mask over them.
There are two circumstances that result in problems for me.
1) A gradient with only 2 stops.
In the following example I have duplicated the offset="0" stop which fixes things and means that the resulting shape that is filled with this gradient works fine. Without the duplicate declaration, the gradient is converted to an un-editable image with a clipping mask when the PDF is viewed in Illustrator.
   <linearGradient id="ian_symbols_b8a58aafc1f12e74492e9e865b7f569b" gradientUnits="userSpaceOnUse" x1="113.7275" y1="136.9414" x2="197.0259" y2="136.9414">
    <stop offset="0" style="stop-color:#927A62" id="stop1472" />
    <stop offset="0" style="stop-color:#927A62" id="stop1472_dup" />
    <stop offset="1" style="stop-color:#93866F" id="stop1474" />
   </linearGradient>
2) A shape that has an opacity that is less than "1". I don't know how to fix this one and still maintain the look of the original. I understand that there are some issues with transparency and the PDF format, but obviously the full AI version of the PDF format these days supports transparency.
Does anyone have any experience doing server-side conversions of SVG to PDF and have managed to create a PDF which contains gradients and transparency that are actually editable once opened in Illustrator?
Or does anyone know if there is something more I can do with the original SVG code to make the opacity work ok in the final PDF?
Thanks

Works fine for me as .ai with pdf comptible turned on. You may have input transparency in the wrong location in Illustrator. Change opacity in the gradient palette, and not tint in the color palette.
Opacity is 0 here, anything less tha 100% will create tranaprency. To proof in Illustratopr do a Shift Command D to change your background to a checkerboard pattern.

How can I make a folder structure for both PSE and Premiere Elements?

I have recently bought bundled PSE 10 and Prem Elements 10 ... (but have been using PSE6 for years)
I have lots of jpeg photos on an external drive in folders with a heirarchical structure eg. Pictures ... Friends ... 2011 ... 2011_12_02_Margate_seagulls.jpg I also have loads of photos that are simply there waiting to be sorted and are in their native format e.g PIC_6120.jpg Additionally I have .MOV files dumped from my JVC standard def camera some of which are custom named, others are left as is. I now own a hi-def lumix which takes great jpgs and also video MTS files. After lots of searching on the net for the best way to get all this organised I am at a standstill. I feel that I need an external folder system (ie one that does not rely 100% on adobe and its categotries and tags) because I have had catastropic losses when using earlier photoshop progs. I also see the benefit of using tags. So...
Is there a simple (and best) way to order my photos and hi-def video while taking into account content I already have shot/videod? I am happy to hear reasons and see examples why I should trust PSE/Prem E - but I would also like to see if it makes sense to use folders. Ideally i would love a practical folder structuring method that incorporates both video and still content. I have posted here because it is important I organise my video better and have a flexible system that allows for drafts and reworking my Hi-def content.
I have tried to find the info but it is so piecemeal and I have faith in the people on here ... Any links and advice would be much appreciated

In generic terms there are three methods of filing just about anything:
Structured by event
Structured by type
Unstructured
Event might be occasion or date or a specific project. For this type of structure you would store all your assets related to that event, regardless of whether it is still, image or audio, in one place.
Type would typically be by the type of asset. All your videos in one place, stills in another, audio in another etc... In business for example in the eighties (when personal computing became prevalent in the workplace) staff would religiously have all their word processor documents in one place, spreadsheets in another, powerpoints in yet another etc.... Dreadfully inefficient.
Unstructured would be a case of storing things wherever you liked and accessing them via tags or albums - but you've said you want to avoid this.
Personally I let the application store things according to the defaults for the different import types but then tag them. Essentially I follow the 'unstructured' style. For anything major I create a project directory and move all the project assets into it (i.e. selective structure by event).
If you search the Tips & Tricks forum I think Bill Hunt (who does this stuff for a living) describes his structured folder flow in great detail.

Neale

Layer Styles and using Delete Key PSE4

Hello,
Slowly getting getting to know PSE4, will take more time. Finding lots of tips here in this forum and other similiar forums and sites.
Have two quick Questions:
1. It was mentioned "Jodi's Spedia Layer Styles". Is this a tutorial or actual styles? More info on this would be appreciated.
2. When doing the last stage of a vignette, I had to use the backspace or delete key. I found this out by reading in this forum. Where is that documented in the Help? Is the backspace/delete key the only way, or is there a menu/mouse click also?
Using XP Pro SP2
TonyC

Hi and thanks everyone for the replies. I will have to take another look in the Help Section, I looked everywhere and could not find that shortcut listed. Maybe I was looking for Backspace, and should be looking for Delete.
I will be contacting Jodi shortly via email.
Am confused about the "Adobe Photoshop Elements One-Click Wow by Jack Davis, ISBN 0-321-30468-3." Is this a book? Doing a web search all I can find is a book. Can someone send me a good link for more info on this. If actual styles and layers, will it work in PSE4?
Something else: Please don't take this the wrong way, but I like to know is the subscription worth getting? I'm 50/50 on getting it or not.
Thanks again!

Styles and Effects Effects

In the Styles and Effects palette, under Layer Effects, we seem to have lost
the WOW NEON styles.
Short of a reinstall, does anyone have any suggestions how to get these Wow
Neon effects back?
Dave

I am going to hijack Beth Haney's answer to another question as she explained it so well, but I do want to credit her.
You don't say what platform you're using, so I'll give the instructions for both.
With Elements closed, click on the start up icon then make a QUICK grab for (Windows) Control, Alt, and Shift keys or (Mac) Command, Option, and Shift keys. Hold all three down until you get a screen asking if you want to delete Settings. Say Yes. If you don't get that screen, you didn't get the keys depressed fast enough, so keep trying. A new Preference folder will build as Elements continues to launch.
Since this is "new" behavior for an installation that's been working properly for a long time, it's possible that folder became corrupted. That's pretty common and can cause all kinds of mysterious things to happen. If this doesn't correct the problem, repost and add information about the kind of system you're using.

Can I copy Brushes, Styles, etc., from Elements to PS CS6?

Hi again, everyone,
I was able to install CS6 without any problems. (link to previous thread) http://forums.adobe.com/message/4692121#4692121
The program's Associations did take over my photos, but I was able to change that, except that now the icons are different from what I'm used to. So I have some new questions for you guys and gals....
1- Can I change the icons to what they used to be before the installation? They take a long time to change to allow me to see my pic's icons.
2- If so, can you tell me how?
I have tons and tons of really cool Brushes and Styles in my Elements 7 - I'd really like to be able to copy them over to CS6.
3- Can the Brushes and Styles be copied over to Photoshop?
4- If so, can you please show me how I can do that?
Thanks a bunch! I really appreciate your kind assistance.
Have a great weekend!

You can go to the brushes or layer styles flyout menus and use replace brushes or styles.
or copy the layer styles and brush presets to:
C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets
and then they should show in the relevent menus.

Hi R. Kelly,
Thanks for the detailed info, I love it when people show me how to do things and how they would look afterwards. I think that's how I learn the best.
Thanks for the links, I read through some of the info, but couldn't find what I was looking for...
I know there's a path that you have to follow to install Brushes in PS. Since I just got my CS6 a few days ago, I just have no idea what that path looks like - is it the 1st one you showed above? I guess that "Roaming" text sort of threw me off. And that "Replace brushes" thingy scares me since I do not really want to replace any Brushes, I just want to upload some.
Anyway, I've been checking some things out on YouTube and most people say to drag and drop into CS6 and then the Brush just shows up. I just prefer to have the correct info so that I just learn it once, from the right source.
Thanks again! Have a great weekend.

Wow styles for Photoshop Elements

I purhcased the wow styles for photoshop elements some years ago up until now they have always worked with all my versions but for some reason they do not work in the latest elements 9. The files are the same format but when you add them to the preset folder they simple do not apear as in earlier versions. I have tried a few plugins and they do appear after they have been added to the relevant folder. I have tried with and without a master folder. Any one got any suggestions as to what has changed? I really miss using these great styles and 3 wow styles are still included in the main program so i am at a loss to understand why they no longer work.

If that's true that's sad. Strange too as they still work up to at least CS3 in Photoshop. I'm really curious as to why a set of layer styles would stop working. Did you jump through all the extra hoops needed to get layer styles to show up in Photoshop Elements in recent versions?

I guess if worse came to worse you could open your older version of elements and make up a PSD to store all of your Wow styles. Make a separate layer for each style; apply style; name layer for style. Open this document when needed. Right click layer style layer in your layers palette and select "Copy Layer Style"; go to layer you desire this effect and right click the layer and select "Paste Layer Style". I know kind of a pain but probably faster than transferring back and forth between two versions of Elements.

Newbie: 7210 style and 9914A style controller ??

I'm new to GPIB, and am considering implementing Labview or HP VEE.
I'm in the stages of identifying a controller that supports both
packages. I've seen some references to 7210 style and 9914A style
cards. Is there a significant difference, or is this transparent to my
application? Is it dependant on the software application, or the
equipment I am interfacing with?
Also, where's a good place to get GPIB cables? Controller (preferably
PCI)?
Thanks.

Unless you are designing equipment that uses these ICs there is no need
to worry about it.
FYI the 9914A (from TI) is no longer available
The 7210 (from NEC) is only marginally superior.
National Instruments makes replacements that are supersets of these old
ones.
They also make one that is much better than either.

Since I like NI (National Instruments) I sould say you can buy everything
you need from them.
I will say that their cables are a little less rugged than those available
from HP
(Hewlett-Packard or is it Agilent now ??).
Some GPIB caveats:
No more than 15 devices can be connected to the same controller.
At least half of these must be powered up.
Maximum cable length is 15m (you can usually get more at lower speeds).
No more than 2-3 m between each device.
None of these are hard and fast rules but if you follow them there should be
no problems.
Shameless plug GO WITH LABVIEW !!

I need help writing a script that finds the first instance of a paragraph style and then changes it

I need help writing a script that finds the first instance of a paragraph style and then changes it to another paragraph style. I don't necessarily need someone to write the whole thing, by biggest problem is figuring how to find just the first instance of the paragraph style. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi,
Do you mean first instance of the paragraph style
- in a chosen story;
- on some chosen page in every text frames, looking from its top to the bottom;
- in a entire document, looking from its beginning to the end, including hidden layers, master pages, footnotes etc...?
If story...
You could set app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle to your "Style".
Story.findText() gives an array of matches. 1st array's element is a 1st occurence.
so:
Story.findText()[0].appliedParagraphStyle = Style_1;
//==> this will change a paraStyle of 1st occurence of story to "Style_1".
If other cases...
You would need to be more accurate.

RoboHelp Changes style to transparent

I am using RoboHelp HTML version 7. I often change sections
of text to red to indicate a section I want to make sure is
reviewed. After the review occurs and I have made my edits, I set
the text back to automatic under the Change Font Color button.
However, when I select Automatic, RoboHELP inserts the style tag
style="color: Transparent;
I did not realize that this was happening until today when I
installed FireFox 3.0. The browser recognizes the transparent style
and thus large sections of my online help disappeared.
Is selecting Automatic actually supposed to be doing this? My
CSS files do not have anything about transparent text in them so I
cannot figure out why this happened or how I can prevent it. I did
a search of all my help files and was able to remove the
transparent style. Any advice as to how to prevent this is much
appreciated. Thanks.

I'd suggest creating a style called "review" with a font
color of red. Apply that style to paragraphs that you want
reviewed.
When you change the red paragraphs back, apply the "Normal"
style (or whatever style you use for the text).
Personally, I would never use the font color picker directly
on text. As you have found, it adds extra code that may become
problematic. (I would guess that if you're changing the font color
to red using that same color picker, RH is adding
style="color: #FF0000" or
style="color: red" to your code. Stick to styles whenever
possible, and your code will be cleaner.
Hope this helps,
Ben

Insufficient Memory to rasterize a transparent element

Not sure if this an OS problem or not...
I have a customer running: iMac OS 10.5.8 (4GB Ram) using Quark 8.1.6 When printing or creating a postscript, he gets the warning: Insufficient Memory to rasterize a transparent element. Reduce the flattening resolution in your output settings and try again... If he keeps it to 1 or 2 elements, it goes. However, any more and he gets it. Trans flattener is set to default 300. It's physically impossible as a designer to either limit and or proof each time these elements are used. I went thru his preferences and didn't see anything unusual... Anyone seen this or have any ideas? He doesn't remember, but he did do an OS patch recently and it seems to correlate around it... Quark TS didn't do anything Thanks, Nd

Anyone?
