Type Layer --Need Help

I have a file I'm editing in Elements 9 and run into the same prob I've run into before with other files. Here's the scoop:
On the original image I add 2 Gradient Fill layers, an Artistic Filter layer then, I add a Type layer. What happens when I type is that the letters cannot be seen even though I have set the foreground color to black. I'm thinking that the letters cannot be seen as they must be in yellow (the color of one of my Gradient Fill layers & yellow is also one of two colors in my other Gradient Fill layer).
I have solved the problem before by deleting one of the fill layers, and then it's fine and dandy --I can do my black lettering. With this particular project, I have to have both of the Gradient Fill layers.
Anyone know how to solve this pesky problem?

Linda7345,
Try the following:
Apply the Gradient fill layers and the artistc filter
Open a blank layer at the top of the stack of layers
Press CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+E to create a stamp visible layer
Now type the text
Be sure that you are using the horizontal or vertical type tool, not one of the mask tools
Be sure that the font size is sufficiently large so that the typing shows up. You can enter a pt size in the tool's option bar, i.e. you are not limited to the presets in the drop down
Be sure that the font color is not similar to the background color

Type err, need help!!

Hi all,
in html I have
<option value="MySec">2000</option> and MYSec is a table in my database.
in servlet
I have stmt.executeUpdate("insert into "+ year +"("
 + "Name, Segment, Sequence, length,SubType,location, SampleYear, author)"
 + "VALUES('"
 + Name + "','"
 + Segment+ "','"
 + word + "','"
 + Length + "','"
 + subType + "','"
 + location + "','"
 + year+ "','"
 + author + "'"
 + ")");and I got error
SQLServer]Syntax error converting the varchar value 'MySec' to a column of data type int. at com.microsoft.jdbc.base.BaseExceptions.createException(Unknown Source)
I have not ideal what mistake I make , can any one help!!

<option value="MySec">2000</option>
When a user selects this option, it sends the String 'MySec' as the value of the select input.
You get this value, assign it so some variable (which one, I haven't a clue). When you try to assign that value to the database, the db is expecting an integer (numbers). But you are giving it characters ('MySec').
To fix it:
1) define the column that takes that value to use varchar instead of int datatype if you REALLY want to save the string 'MySec' in the database.
2) Use
<option value="2000">2000</option>
as the option, so a number gets assigned to the selected value instead of a string, if what you really want to save is a number.

I need help in "HOW TO EXTEND THE DATA TYPE SYSTEM"......

Hi All,
I need to add new data type like SDO_GEOMETRY in spatial Oracle.
I don't mean the User-Defined Datatype but new datatype embed in the database.
I read the Data Cartridge Developer's Guide but it has info how to use more efficiently UDT through indexes.
Anybody used the “Type System” under Databases and Extensibility Services?
It might be written in C++ or Java but I do not know how.
Any hints and help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

> In Figure 1-1 Oracle Services, there is a "Type System" as Oracle Services.
The "Type System" is merely a compartmentalising the data type handling and implementation code/modules in Oracle.
This covers all types. Oracle native types, user defined types (UDTs), etc.
Saying that you want to create a new type in the "Type System" is basically saying you want to use the CREATE TYPE SQL command in Oracle.
> So, I want new_type1 and new_type2 behave like other built-in types, just the way
SDO_GEOMETRY works in Oracle Spatial Cartridge.
Not familiar with the SDO_GEOMETRY. Why do you mention this type specifically? What do you want to do similar?
> I have already done it with user-defined types. Now I need to do this way so that I can
compare and contrast in terms of speed, space...etc for part of my research.
Hmm.. I'm not sure what you are trying to compare ito of a UDT and Data Cartridge extensions. It is not one or the other. What research is this if I may ask?
Simplistically you extend the Type System with a new UDT/ADT. And there you have a new type data can be used in the SQL Engine and the PL/SQL engine. The OCI (Oracle Call Interface) supports such types via the OCI object API calls - which means this new type can also be used from Oracle clients written in Delphi, C++, Java, etc.
That new type can be a complex type. This type may need specific management code (memory management, context management, internationalisation, etc). To support this you can extend the UDT/ADT further by developing Cartridge Basic Service interfaces for the type - designing and writing management code to, for example, support specific internationalisation requirements when dealing with multibyte character sets.
You can also extend the UDT/ADT to be custom managed ito indexing, determining query optimisation, computing costs of custom methods/functions/operators on this custom data type. These extensions are done by developing Data Cartridge interfaces for the type.
Thus I cannot see what you are trying to compare. It is not one layer/interface versus another. These layers exist for all Oracle types (in the Type System). Oracle not only allows you to add to the top layer by adding/defining a new data type. It also allows you to customise (if needed) the layers below it.

Image size and mime type.. non-java guy needs help

Image size, mime type.. non-java guy needs help
Im not at all familiar with java so this is really weird for me to work out. I?ve been doing it all day (and half of yesterday).
Im trying to write a custom clodFusion tag in java that gets the width, height, size and MIME types of a given file. I?ve been trying to get it to work on the command line first. I can get the width and height but cant get the size and the MIME type.
Here is what I got

can anyone please help me out to modify the above so I can also print the mime type and the file size to screen.
thanks for any help

any suggestions?

Totally frustrated. Need help with type tool in CS2.

Must start by admitting I'm embarrassed to have to even find myself asking this question. . . But after working with PageMaker since Ver. 2.0 in the early '80s, finally was forced to switch to CS2 when I had to replace my Mac/Intel computer 3 (or was it 4 years ago?). Did so fighting and cursing all the way, and I'm still having trouble typing in Photoshop . . . not just today, but EVERY TIME I sit down to work on a project.
Most are brochures and display ads, and though friends and colleagues insist my real problem is that I should be setting them up in InDesign, I'm convinced it's easier to work on graphics and text simultaneously in Photoshop.
My problem is in grabbing text blocks in order to edit them. Occasionally I'm able to highlight the text I need, but usually I keep getting new type layers instead. I know it should not be this difficult, but as soon as I select the text with the cursor, I get a new, empty text box.It doesn't seem to matter if I am in the layers or edit mode.
I may not be the most technically advanced Adobe user, but I'm not stupid. What the heck am I doing wrong? Can someone please steer me right?

Try this on for size:
Type Tool Tips for Photoshop
Most folks understand how to create text in Photoshop. You select the Type Tool from the Toolbox, or you tap the "T" key on your keyboard. Then, in the Character Palette you set the attributes for font, color, size, etc. A simple click in your document window will mark the spot where you may begin typing unbounded "point" text. Or, you click and drag in your document window to create a paragraph text box. Type out your text, then tap your "Enter" key to commit the text to its new layer.
It's pretty straightforward, and Photoshop offers a decent set of tools to adjust how your text looks. One hitch that long-timers will tell you about, though: It's generally accepted that Photoshop isn't the best application to be using if you have to have to create a lot of text because it doesn't have all of the adjustment functions necessary to produce large amounts of professional-quality text. Well, the real world being what it is, sometimes, and for some users, Photoshop is the only application they have to work with; might as well make the best of it, right?
So, once you have text entered onto a layer in your document, how do you then reselect iteither all of it or just a portion and navigate through it easily? What follows will answer some of those questions.
Note: The keyboard shortcuts that follow assume you are using a Mac. If you're using Windows, substitute the CTRL key for "Command."
Double-Click on the boxed 'T' thumbnail on the desired Text Layer in the Layers Palette. This will select and highlight all of the text on that layer.
Then, if you want, you can use some keyboard shortcuts to move the "Blinking Bar" Type Tool cursor through the text.
Assuming that your text is enclosed in a click-and-dragged out paragraph text box--When all text is highlighted:
"Home" key will move cursor to the beginning of first line of text.
"End" key will move cursor to the end of last line of text.When text is NOT highlighted, but cursor is flashing within the text:
"Home" key moves cursor to the beginning of the line it's in.
"End" key moves cursor to the end of the line it's in.
Command + "Home" moves cursor to beginning of first line of text.
Command + "End" moves cursor to end of the last line of text.
Shift + "Home" selects text from cursor position to the beginning of the line it's in.
Shift + "End" selects text from cursor position to the end of the line it's in.
Shift + Command + "Home" selects text from cursor position to the beginning of the first line of text.
Shift + Command + "End" selects text from cursor position to the end of the last line of text.Arrow keys can also be used to select text in various ways. When your cursor is flashing within the text:
Shift + Right Arrow cumulatively selects text one character or space at a time, from cursor position, progressing toward the end of the text.
Shift + Left Arrow cumulatively selects text one character or space at a time, from cursor position, progressing toward the beginning of the text.
⇒ Add the Command key to select whole words at a time, in either direction.
Shift + Up Arrow selects text from cursor position back to the next line above the cursor.
Shift + Down arrow selects text from cursor position forward to the next line below the cursor position.
⇒ Add the Command key to select text starting from the cursor position, and accumulating either back to the beginning of the first line, or forward to the end of the last line.
That covers most of what (or more than) you need to know to navigate through and highlight text. There are some other key combos, and now that you have an idea of what to do, I'll let you experiment and discover them on your own.
Type Tool Visual Indicators
Keep a close eye on your Type Tool cursor as you move it near to and away from a hunk of text in your document window.
When you see it as a plain old "I-Bar" cursor⇒
⇒...that means that it's ready to select a position within that text, or to select a hunk of that text.
When you see a "boxed I-Bar" cursor⇒
⇒...that means your cursor is outside of the selectable area for the current text, and is ready for you to click (to start right in typing some unbounded point text) or click-n-drag (to create a paragraph text box). This will, of course, create a new text layer.
How can you get a visual indicator of where that selectable area for current text begins and ends without blindly moving your Type Tool cursor around the text? Double-Click on the "Boxed-T" thumbnail in the Layers Palette. The text for that layer will become highlighted in your document window. See the black area that surrounds the text? That shows you the actual space occupied by the characters. If your Type Tool cursor is inside this area, it will display the plain "I-Bar" cursor. If it's outside of that area, it will display the "Boxed I-Bar" cursor.
Want to FORCE Photoshop to create a new Type Layer, even though you're seeing the plain I-Bar cursor?
Hold the SHIFT key, then either click, or click-n-drag out a paragraph text box.

New internal order type--need help

Dear all:
i have a case need help.
now i want to create a new internal order type ,and assign a new number range and a default settlement rule to it .
the settlement rule is that the actual costs of this internal order type need to be
sent to a cost element .
what should i do step by step?
thanks!
best regards!

Hi,
2. Order Master Data
2.1 Define Order types (KOT2_OPA)
IMG Controlling  Internal Orders Order Master Data  Define Order Types
An Internal order is created under an Order type. An order type is used for storing various control parameters and various defaults while creating an internal order. It is used for classifying various types of internal orders according to usage for e.g. Real orders for trade fairs, real orders for Capital investment measure, Statistical orders for motor vehicle expenses.
The order type is client-specific, which means that every order type can be used in all controlling areas. A number range is assigned to the internal order type.
Click on New Entries
Take a drop in the field Order category and select 01
Enter
Update the following
Give Order Type :- Z810
Description :- Traders First Real order type
Object Class :- OCOST overhead
Reference Order :- Collective order without automatic goods movement
Residence time 1 :- 12 months
Residence time 2 :- 1 month
Check Commit Management and Check Integrated Planning
Activate CO Partner Updating -You activate this so that allocations between orders and other CO objects (cost centers, projects, etc.), the partner information is retained and whether for each order a totals record should be written.
Save
Click on Field Selection
Here you can hide the various fields or make it as required entry or only display or available for input. Thus while creating internal order only those fields are displayed and available for input.
Click Save
2.2 Maintain Number Ranges for Orders (KONK)
IMG Controlling  Internal Orders  Order Master Data Maintain Number Ranges for Orders
Number Range needs to be assigned to the internal order type. Number range can be internal or external. In Internal numbering system automatically assigns a number from the given number range. In external numbering the user has to manually assign the number from the given number range.
We will configure internal number range for our internal order type Trade Fair
Click on Group Maintain (From the menu bar)
Click on Group  Insert (From the menu bar)
Update the following
From Number: - 910000000000
To Number: - 919999999999
Click in plus icon at the left bottom of the screen
Click Save
You will find internal order type Z810 in not assigned
You need to assign the order type to the group we created above. Proceed as follows:-
Position the cursor on: - Z810 Trade Fair real order type
Click on Arrow Z810 Trade Fair real order type note it turns blue
Select Check mark Z810 A ltd India fair real order
Click Element Group
The internal order type Z910 moves under the group which can be seen as follows:-
Z810: A Ltd India Trade fair real order / Z810 Trader Fair real order type.
Click Save
Select: - Z810: A Ltd India Trade fair real order / Z810 Trader Fair real order type.
Click on Pencil icon.
Click Back arrow.
2.3 Define Model Orders
IMG Controlling Internal Orders Order Master Data Screen Layout
Define Model Orders
Model orders are not orders in the commercial sense, but serve merely as references for creating "normal" orders. Model orders contain default values for the orders in an order type. The Model order is assigned as the reference order in the order type.
When you create a new order, all the fields active in the relevant order type are copied from the model order to the new order.
Example
You want to settle all your marketing orders to the same sales cost center. Stipulate the cost center as the default value in the model order for marketing orders.
When you create a new marketing order, the system defaults this cost center. If you want to settle the order to a different cost center, you can overwrite the default cost center in the orders.
We will create a model order with some defaults and assign it to the Trade fair internal order type
Click Create CO Model Order
Press F4 and select ($$) 03 model order
Click on the master data and update the following
Order: - $$$ Z81000001
Description text: - A Limited Trade affair
Click Save
Assign this model order to the order type Z810
Update the reference order with the model order number $$$Z81000001 in the reference order field
Click on save.

Need help regarding currency types

Hi All,
I need help in understanding the currency types.
Presently in my system previous guys have designed the currency type = 10, so all the present data is in currency type=10 only,
Now I need the data for currency type = 30, how can i make this.
Please give me what are the different ways of achieving this.
Thanks,
vinay.

Hi,
If you are loading data for currency types then you can use it in Reorts for restrictions, if you are giving any selection in InfPackage then you need to change it for your requirement, else you need to reload the compeletly load the data from ECC.

The internet is overflowing with tutorials on PSE. Just google what you want and include Photoshop Elements 4 as part of your search term, or go to the library and they may have several different books on PSE 4. For PSE 4, you won't find a mac specific book, but that doesn't matter because the editor is the same on either program. Just substitute Command for Ctrl and Option for Alt in the keystrokes, and ignore anything about the organizer.

youtube has a lot of video tutorials, too.
