Texture Overlay Issues

In the image attached I'm making a map of the United States. Each state is its own shape.
To each shape I've added a radial gradient.
I would like to add that cardboard texture to the whole map, or even each individual state keeping it within the borders.
In the image right now I've put the image of the cardboard on a layer and set it to overlay, but that only gives me the results in the photo.
Anyway if that's clear and you know what I'm talking about I'd appreciate any help.

The cardboard texture set it to overlay. I would like to keep the cardboard texture within the borders of the states.
I also tried to add a texture to each state using the transparency mask, but once I apply it everything except the texture seems to lock and is not selectable.
Perhaps you could just walk me through how you would add a texture to the map or to one of the individual states/shapes?
Thanks.

Inconsistant overlay issues in same project - urgent help needed please!

Hopefully this has not been asked. I searched and found nothing.
The issue is that using overlays works great for two of the three menus in my project, but the third does not display properly when viewing a finished DVD or the TS folder. It looks perfect in simulator.
Now for the details: the menus are pretty simple. They each consist of a Photoshop file with two layers. One is the background buttons (mostly plain text) and an overlay layer (underlines under the text). These are saved as psd files.
When built and viewed, two of the menus operate normally - you roll over the text buttons, and an underline appears beneath them. The third menu does nothing when rolled over, yet if you click on a piece of text, it jumps to the proper section as expected.
I have checked every setting I can think of to make sure everything is the same between the different menus. I even rebuilt the whole DVD from scratch, and made new menus in Photoshop. Each file was made as a "save as" to ensure that the settings were the same. Same for the menus in DVDSP - duplicates of a menu that work properly. Is there something I've overlooked? Is this an issue with DVDSP 3?
Any help or suggestions are most appreciated. This forum is a great resource.

Hi There
The only thing that comes to mind is that something's changing in your button highlight states between your menus. Go to a menu that is working the way you want and select a button. In the button inspector go to the Colours tab and ine the bottom right corner click the Save As Default button. Then go to a menu that is not performing correctly, highlight a button, go to the Colours tab and click Restore Default.
If that doesn't fix it at least you'll have ruled out a major culprit.
Good Luck

3d texture painting issues...

I have a project open in a 3d view to paint on a 3d mesh. Everything is fine until I save, close, and reopen. When I open the file to resume I can no longer paint on the model. I can still go to the UV (flat) view for any of the materials on the model but I can't paint on the mesh in 3d view.
I can open a new 3d layer, re-import the mesh, save and reapply all the previously painted texture to the new mesh layer and keep working but this seems like a huge pain in the *** and not a very efficient work-flow.
I don't think many 3d pros actually use this piece of PS for texturing so I may not get an answer from them but maybe someone from adobe could shed some light on this? This is the first time I've tried the 3d functionality of PS so I may just be overlooking something...

The issue seems to be fixed after a fresh install of PS.
For my own benefit, when you ask for system specs, are there specific specs that are more pertinent? I'm running PS CS6 Extended on a PC with windows 64-bit, intel i7 (3.4GHz), 12gb ram, and an NVIDIA GeForce GT420.
The issue was with any textures, new or old, on any mesh/format. Once worked on and saved, the brush would not work in the 3d view only in flat view.
Also every once in a while I would try to get to the flat view of a texture (diffuse, bump, spec - It didn't matter) by opening the material like a smart object and I would get an error say that the process could not be opened because too many files were selected for opening.
It was all very strange. like I said, the fresh install seems to have it sorted.
Cheers.

Premiere CS3 Overlay issue

My machine at work was just upgraded to Premiere CS3 and I've noticed a couple of issues (bugs?) with it. I'll list them separately to keep things nice and neat. I did a search of both the forums and knowledgebase, but was unable to find what I was looking for.
I'm having a rather annoying issue placing clips into my sequence. When I have the Sequence window selected and hit the . key (overlay) to place the clip into the sequence, nothing happens. The edit is never made. The same issue occurs when using the , key (insert). To be able to make the edit, I have to select the Source window, then both overlay and insert work just fine. Anyone else notice this, or is it just my machine?
Again, thanks in advance for any insight into this matter. :)

The insert and overlay keys work from the source monitor. Thats how its supposed to work. Thats why they put the Insert and Overlay Buttons on the source monitor. On the Program Monitor they have Lift and Extract buttons.
None of them work direct from the timeline so thats why the shortcut keys do not work when focussed on the timeline pane.

Gtk overscroll overlay issue on gtk-theme-flatstudio

Hi,
I find the gtk theme gtk-theme-flatstudio in AUR and I apply it.
When I scroll in gtk application such as evince and rhythmbox, opaque bar appears top and bottom.
http://www.pixentral.com/pics/170zqsCOf … b7lGD1.png
Same report on AUR comment and I search fix, but I can't find...
That problem doesn't appears Adwaita.
So I want to remove that opaque bar and replace by transparent effect like Adwaita.
Any ideas for fix?

That was me, it's been driving me crazy since the update.

I would be fine with disabling it, but I don't think that's what the wiki is referring to. The issue isn't that the scrollbar doesn't show unless hovered over, it's with the overscroll shading being opaque.
Using a different theme is always an option, but flatstudio just looks so nice...
Edit:
I just figured out a workaround. Pasting the following into ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css:
https://gist.github.com/epedroni/03e605 … le-gtk-css
restores the stock Adwaita overshoot look (dark).
To get rid of it completely, use this instead:
https://gist.github.com/epedroni/746d75 … le-gtk-css
It's a bit of a nasty hack, but it solves the issue. I don't know enough about GTK3 theming to fix FlatStudio itself and I don't have the time to look into it right now unfortunately, but I hope this helps anyone who has this problem in the future.

Video overlay issue after I moved from trial to purchased premiere elements

I was using the trial version of premiere elements and was happy with the product. So I decided to buy it. When I did this and put in the serial number I noticed all my video / title overlays are now black. places in my video where I dont have overlay there isnt a problem.
Why did this happen when I switched from trial to purchased product? How do I fix it?

Though I have never read of such problems, let's look at a few possibilities.
You mention "Opacity," and that got me to thinking. Select one of the Clips, that displays as black - click on it. Go to Effects>Edit Effects, to get the Effects Control Panel. Check the Opacity setting (one of the Fixed Effects on every Video Clip). What is that set to?
Test 02 - Dbl-click on one of those offending Clips, to open it in the Source Monitor. Does it play properly there? As that is accessing the physical file on the HDD, and not the editable version on the Timeline, that might tell us something about the file.
Also, what are the specs. of the files, that are not displaying? The reason that I ask is that there are/were a few limitations of the trial (think that the message might still be a sticky at the top of the main forum - not the discussions page - and that it alternates to one about Macs. Wait for it to display, and click on "See Details," to see if maybe there is something there. There are modules in PrE, that require "activation," when one goes to the full-paid version. This activation is usually done transparently, and the user is seldom aware that it has taken place. For it to take place, that computer WILL need to be connected to the Internet.
In your Timeline, do you have red lines over your problem Clips? If so, hit Enter/Return to Render the Timeline for best quality playback. Does that help?
Last, I would check my video driver, and update to the latest one available. My thinking here is that though a video display issue should be rather global for the display/playback in PrE, perhaps it's having problems, where you have two Video Tracks (that does require a bit more power, than just a single Video Track), and perhaps an OS update has rendered that video driver obsolete. That does usually affect the full display of the GUI and also all playback, but again, what you describe is not normal, so if we eliminate all possibilities, we might be able to zero in on the issue.
As you can see, I am just thinking aloud here, as I do not recall this issue ever being posted before. Also, just because something should happen (like PrE easily going from trial to full-paid, with just the S/N), does not mean that it will always happen, as it should.
Good luck, and wish that I had more for you.

Bootstrap, height of edge animation and others div content in the page- overlay issue

I’ve a problem with the position others div tags in a page with a edge animation in the top (in the below example, div “box-animation”… export it with “publish target: Web”).
The static content (in the below example, class “content-static”) is always overlay to the animation, instead to view it below div “box-animation”.
The first solution is to set an height for edge animation container (for example, #box-animation height: 500px) but its very complicate to manage it with responsive website.
So, how to view the static content in a div tag after an animation create with edge animate, to avoid overlay effect?
This my first animation with Edge Animate and I always thought that the animation would have been placed in the html order of the webpage...
Thanks
Example:
<body>
<div id=“box-animation”><div id="Stage" class=“animation1…”>[edge animation]</div></div>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
    <div class="span12">
      <div class=“content-static”><p>Test content</p></div>
    </div>
</div>
</div>
</body>

Hi... put a trasparent gif image, with the same animations's width/height, in the first div after the edge code container.
If you want responsive layout, remember to remove width/height values.
<body>
<div id=“box-animation”><div id="Stage" class=“animation1…”>[edge animation]</div></div>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
    <div class="span12"><img src="images/spacer.gif" alt=""/>
      <div class=“content-static”><p>Test content</p></div>
    </div>
</div>
</div>

Acrobat 3D Toolkit - texture & color issue - just light gray color

hi there,
when I open a 3D model in acrobat 3D toolkit, the different textures have all the same color R:192 G:192 B:192. Sort of light gray within the whole model ...
If I open an other model and drag it into the one already opened, then the texture and colors appear normally ...
Anyone else had this problem??
Thanks

One think I want to talk about, the battery life.
It's write somewhere that the 6 Cell last like 12 hours or so. Well, if you use your computer like if it was connected in the electric outlet, you will get around 3h30 of battery life. That's with the screen at 100% and no option enable to save on battery. So I would say it's pretty good.
I like real life number. When I buy a laptop I expect performance for a real life usage, I never plan to use my screen at 10% of brightness with night vision googles in my face No, I prefer to work with a bright screen.
I will continue to post data to let people know what they can expect from this laptop in a real life usage. I thought most people was buying Thinkpad for business needs. Personnally I don't know any business man that run benchmark on their computer.

Photoshop CS6 Extended Load/Replace Texture Command Issues

In the 3d Materials Panel in Adobe Photoshop Extended CS6, the REPLACE TEXTURE and LOAD TEXTURE commands for the 3d materials seem to create a single "smart" texture that all other textures created via the "replace/load texture" commands link to.
For instance, to texture a sphere using a Photoshop file, I first created a file called "horizontal stripes for 3d peel.psd" and saved it on my desktop.
I went to the Materials Panel>Diffuse>(Clicked icon to right of "Diffuse") and chose "Load Texture>"horizontal stripes for 3d peel.psd," to apply it to my sphere. I then edited this diffuse file by right-clicking the icon to the right of "Diffuse," choosing "Edit" and adding a color layer at the top of the layer stack, then saving (not saving as) and closing the Diffuse .PSB smart object file.
I then loaded a texture to the Opacity material of my sphere using the same Photoshop file on my desktop called "horizontal stripes for 3d peel.psd",
going to Materials Panel>Opacity>(Clicking the icon to the right of "Opacity") and choosing "Load Texture>"horizontal stripes for 3d peel.psd," When I opened this file to edit it by right-clicking the icon to right of "Opacity" and choosing "Edit," I found I'd loaded not the original file on my desktop that I had chosen, but my edited "Diffuse" file. Furthermore, these Diffuse and Opacity files appear not to be independently editable--they behave like linked Smart Objects, and when one is edited, the other is updated with the changes.
Is this a bug? I can't find any mention of this behavior in the Photoshop User Manual. I'm using Windows 7, and I get the same behavior on 2 different computers with Photoshop.
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/3d-panel-settings-photoshop-extended.html
I had hoped to use the Load/Replace texture command as a quick way to load up independently editable versions of the same file to the different 3d material attributes (opacity, shine, etc.), but that doesn't seem possible. Or is there a better way to do this?
Thanks!
Jeff Combs

Postscript:
I just started working with Extruded 3d shapes, and 3d text, and, as it turns out, this is actually a dandy feature, since these 3d objects each contain multiple elements to apply textures to (ex. Front Inflation Material, Front Bevel Material, Extrusion Material, etc.) that would be pain to edit individually, rather than via a single Smart Layer, especially if you plan to use the same materials for each.
So, anyway, onwards to more adventures as I climb the Photoshop 3d learning curve. I've been a wee-bit frustrated that this learning curve seems to be more difficult because the Adobe Photoshop_CS6 reference PDF file seems to reference mostly CS5 and, more often than not, references CS5 interfaces. For instance, in the CS6 manual—the sections on 3d concepts and Tools, 3d Panel Settings, 3D rendering and saving—to name a few—all explicitly refer to Photoshop CS5 Extended! So, if anyone knows of a detailed source of CS6 information, I’d be grateful.

Lightroom cc Crop overlay issue

When I try and use the Lightroom CC crop overlay tool I get what seems to be a rendering failure that shows as a blue box with a white cross. See attached.

Could you double check if you have Sync turned ON. See the attached screenshot which shows the top left activity panel. - Guido

Video overlay issue for Andriod

When placing video content all articles appear black except for the interactive overlays. Prior to this the app was running fine, but simply removing the video now does not fix the problem. The folio seems to be corrupt. After rebuilding the folio completely the same problem seems to happen again when placing a video file specifically. Help?

Overlay issues

I have manged to hit something on Photoshop CC that is preventing me from using the color range in order to overlay skies and backgrounds. Any Ideas???? I am new to CC. I have used Elements in the past. Thanks.

You need to explain what you "hit" for us to help. What exactly is the problem?

Overlay Issue with menu

Hello all,
Here is my problem: I have 1 menu that the overlays will not show up when the DVD is built. It works fine in simulator. I taken the same menu and overlay file to a new project and it works fine. I am sure I could build a new project but this is a fairly involved DVD9 and all the work is done already.
Here are the file types I am using for the menu: I have 1 psd as the background with one layer and a pct for the overlay.
I have 9 other menus made the same way and all works fine with them.

Dual 2GHz G5 Powerbook G4 1 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Here is an update. If I pull the audio off the menu it works as it should. With audio there are no overlays, the buttons still work though.

TV Card and overlay issues

First of all, hello Archlinux people!...I love you
But sadly, I've yet to find a solution to what (I think) would be an easy problem. I have a Hauppauge PVR-150 tv-card, which appears to be set up correctly and whatnot ('dmesg | grep ivtv' doesn't give me any errors), but I still have problems getting anything working.
tvtime gives me:
xvoutput: no XVIDEO port found which supports YUY2 images.
***tvtime requires hardware YUY2 overlay support from your video card driver.
Similarly, xawtv and v4l-conf complain of not having overlay support:
/dev/video0 [v4l2]: no overlay support
So it appears I need to get this overlay thing worked out, but I'm not quite sure what to do...
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Alright, well I have an Intel 82915G/GV/910GL graphics card, so I went ahead and downloaded the intel i810 driver, and changed xorg.conf to use the new driver, as well as added Option "DRI" "true" and Option "XVideo" "true". I also loaded agpgart as mentioned in the man page...
Now tvtime works only if i limit the input width, otherwise I get an error complaining of not having enough off-screen video memory. Once I start that up, however, it tells me that ivtv has an invalid argument, and that it cannot open /dev/video0.
v4l-conf and xawtv still tell me that there is still no overlay support.
I've tried changing a couple options in my xorg.conf file...but nothing seems to work...
Thanks for your support.
EDIT: Actually, after upgrading to the new Xorg, tvtime no longer has the off-screen memory error, but everything else is still the same.

Link from Web Content overlay to another article

Thinking caps on, guys. I am trying to reduce the overall size of a folio that contains a pop-out panel (a two-state MSO) that reveals image thumbnails in a vertical scrolling content frame. Each thumbnail is a button that takes the user to another article in the folio. The panel is repeated across all articles, which is handy for the user but wasteful in file size.
In theory, I ought to be able to reduce the file size of the pages containing these panels if I was to replace the vertical scrolling content frame with a tall Web Content frame that would point to an appropriately designed HTML doc in HTMLResources.zip. This would minimise repetition of all those thumbnails.
The problem, if you haven't already guessed it, is that DPS does not allow you to link from a Web Content overlay to folio articles. The 'navto://' convention simply won't work in this scenario.
Is there ANY way to jump a Web Content frame to other locations in the folio? A non-standard, non-supported workaround would do me just fine.
Thanks for reading this far.
Ali

Ali - Check out the new "Linking" article in the Advanced Overlays issue of DPS Tips. It explains how to use an unsupported method for cross-folio linking. I explained how to create buttons with this format, but the same format would work using <a href="URL"> in HTML.
Johannes also breaks down this method here:
