Uneven color between background text frame and underlying frame fill

Hi. I'm using InDesign CS3 on Windows XP.
On my document, the main heading is in a frame with a fill of 'None'. The heading text has a bevel and emboss. The text frame sits on a background A4 frame which is filled with a Pantone spot colour.
When I print the cover page, the color filling the text frame is slightly different from the background Pantone color, even though the text frame has no color fill.
When I checked the document before printing in View>Overprint Preview, it appeared to be fine. The PDF also looked fine. In both situations, I could not discern a color difference but it is there in the printed document.
To provide a color behind the text which matches the fill color of the frame occupying the whole page, what should I do? My gut feel is to select the background frame and the text frame and check the knockout box on the effects panel or something like that.
I hope I have explained sufficiently clearly the problem I am experiencing.
Look forward to hearing your suggestions.
Thanks
Frank

A Q about i-frame and p-frame

http://www.interactivetvweb.org/tutorial/mhp/javamedia.shtml
in this tutorial, at the end, it talks about i-frame and p-frame.
i have an xlet that will need to switch iframe backgrounds very often. this p-frame idea will save the memory.
so anyone has tried it?
can provide at least a pseudocode?

I have known how to display i-frame read from a one-frame-only m2v file, which is the epg.m2v in the code below.
but after this, i can't even switch to other channels, seems like machine is hanging, have to reboot.
i am asking what causes this and how to display a p-frame on top of the iframe.
my code is as below:
////////////////////////start***********************/////////////
scene.setVisible(true);
g = scene.getGraphics();
MediaLocator myLocator;
DripFeedDataSource dripSource=null;
Player player=null;
MediaLocator driplocator = new MediaLocator("dripfeed://");
try
dripSource = (DripFeedDataSource) Manager.createDataSource(driplocator);
player = Manager.createPlayer(dripSource);
catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e.toString());}
if (player != null){
player.realize();
player.prefetch();
player.start();
try {
int size,size1;
InputStream in = new FileInputStream("epg.m2v");
InputStream in1 = new FileInputStream("small.m2v");// trying p-frame
size = in.available();
size1 = in1.available();// size of p-frame
byte[] frame = new byte[size];
byte[] frame1 = new byte[size1];// array of p-frame
in.read(frame);
in1.read(frame1);//read p-frame
in.close();
in1.close();//close reading
if (dripSource != null)
dripSource.feed(frame);
Thread.sleep(3000);//as spec says don't feed again within 500ms
dripSource.feed(frame1);//feeding p-frame?
Thread.sleep(10000);
player.stop();//can this stop it? coz i can't switch channels any more
catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
////////////******************ends******************/////////
thanks

HT5392 How can I use an Action List to re-order my layers in iAd Producer? It looks like there's a tool for this, but I can't figure out how to use it. I want to use a button to switch between a text field and a drawing pad layer.

I am working on an iBooks Author Widget and want to allow the user to switch between drawing-pad functions and a text field on screen. I'd like to create an action that will automatically re-order the layers so that the text field is accessible when typing but covered when writing by hand. Then, I'd like the opposite to be available, so that the text field is accessible when typing, but the drawing pad is left alone.

Have you tried using the selections in the Encore menu viewer that show you selected and activated states?

Difference between 'add text' tools and adding Layers

I am trying to add text to a .pdf form that has no preset text boxes. I see I can either add text via the tools menu with the 'add text' tool or the fill and sign menu with the 'add text' tool as well. They both seem to behave differently and I have a difficult time selecting, moving or editing text that is close to existing elements with both tools. What is the intended difference between these tools? Also, it would be nice to add a layer to just add my text to without interfering with the existing elements, but I see no way to actually add a layer in Acrobat Pro XI. I know I can do this in Illustrator, but I was looking for a simpler solution that works in Acrobat.
Thanks!
Colin

Hey Kolinized,
Difference between "add text" tool via the 'tools' pane and "add text" tool via 'fill and sign' pane :-
* Tools>Content Editing>Add Text :- Selecting this option, we can customize the text as well the rectangular box it will create.We can place the box anywhere on the page.
* Fill & Sign>Fill & Sign Tools>Add Text :- This option is slightly easier ,however, customizes text only(Typewriter tool in Acrobat X).This tool is preferred to fill up various kinds
of forms .
Thanks

Anyone Know difference between pure Text Document and Plain Text Document?

I am having a **** of a time trying to figure out how to create a "text document" on the Mac. From what I've read, it's not possible to create a pure "text document" with Mac .... only possibly windows.
I have a text document (created in Textedit in Mac),that can only be saved as either a "plain text document" or a "rich text format (.RTF) formatted file.
I need to save (or re-create), the text file in a file that will save as a
"text document".
In either the <command+I> option, or in a folder window line description, I need to see the text file saved as the wording or a "rich text format (.RTF) .... and not "plain text document" or a "rich text format (.RTF).
Evidently, the difference between the text files that Apple TextEdit creates, and those that are a pure "text document", have something to do with the hidden carriage return command language at the end of the command lines ... or something like that.
The text file is being used as a command text file for a modified VTC Training "set-up folder/GUI" that will run on either Mac or Windows.
I have seen on-line, some mention that using windows "notepad" (texteditor) may be the only way to create a true "text document" labeled file.
Any suggestions, or knowledge in this area would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! -David

The way to preserve an existing "text document" is to import it into OS 9.2 and
open it up in Apple Simpletext (text edit program).
Changes can be made to the original "text document" (not an original .rtf or .txt file, which aren't true "text documents" by title description). When changes are made to the original "text document", they are saved in Simpletext as a "text document" (not .rtf or .txt - these are OSX file descriptions).
The file can be read back by OSX Textedit, or by PC, with no problems. However, if the slightest changes are attempted in OSX on that "text document" (once back from your OS 9.2 changes ... OSX will only be able to save it again as a .rtf or .txt (plain text file) ... not a pure "text document" as made or corrected in OS 9.2.
I'm glad I still have Apple OSX "Classic" available for these kind of rare changes needed.
I have spent a few weeks now, trying to figure how to create/modify an existing pure "text document" using a Mac ... without relying on going to any PC text edit programs ... and this method of running it through the old Simpletext program in OS 9 finally worked out to be the answer this evening!

Records alternate between non drop frame and drop frame...

I am seeing a pattern with Premiere records, that alternate the records from being non drop frame to drop frame. So one day we recorded 7 segments. The records ended up coming out like this (without any changes being made between records):
Segment 1 - non drop frame
Segment 2 - drop frame
Segment 3 - non drop frame
Segment 4 - drop frame
Segment 5 - non drop frame
Segment 6 - drop frame
Segment 7 - non drop frame
Is this from a hidden setting we can't find, or is this a known bug?

Hi Angela,
I'm following up with you from your Tweets on Twitter. As I mentioned there, we have seen similar issues in Premiere Pro CC (7.0.1) but they were fixed. It is possible that they could be rearing up again, so I would encourage you to file a bug report: http://adobe.ly/ReportBug
Further, I would contact AJA support. They have released new drivers very recently, which may assist your issue.
You are also free to contact Adobe support. When you are connecting via phone or chat, ask for the video queue: Contact Customer Care

Help closing frames and disabling frames

hey, i'm making this type of quiz game and i've got the primary game frame with it's game panel. When the player matches two images on this main panel, another frame with a panel is drawn on top of the main game and asks the user a question, if the user gets the right answer i want it to return back to the game and close the quiz frame. I can't use system.exit(0) when the user gets the correct answer because the whole application shuts down. how do i just close this one? Also, i make a new quiz frame object for each match on the game board, the constructor of the quiz frame takes an int as a parameter which represents the game state and thus which question to ask the user.
So that's just a bit of background information, the two questions i have are:
1. How do i close the quiz frame when the user enters the correct answer without closing the entire game application? As it is my Panel within my quiz frame doing the check to see if the users input is correct, i'd like to be able to close the quiz frame down from this panel. so i'm looking for
something like:
this is just some pseudo code to explain what i want to do
if(answerCorrect) {
this.parentFrame.close();
}2. How do disable the primary game while the quiz frame is up and displaying a question to the player? I don't want the player to be able to continue playing the game without first entering the correct answer. and only when they answer correct do I wish the main game to become re-enabled.
If the answers are not simple then i'd be happy to read any links/information which would help.
Thanks a heap i really appreciate it :)

but a better and more flexible way to implement this is to allow outside objects pass this array into the QuizPanel object, either by its constructor or by a setter method allowing you to use the same QuizPanel class for different data.Ages ago I downloaded an example from these forums which does just that, and it also randomizes the order or the answers.

Hotkey for "next frame" and "previous frame",or for next and previous layers

Hi,
I'm an animator and I love drawing with Photoshop's brush tools, but to animate I need to "flip" - which is just rapidly switching from one drawing to another, as you would with sheets of actual paper: hunting and clicking on arrows isn't feasible.
Hotkeys, or assignable hotkeys, for next and previous frames in animation - or, simpler, hotkeys for next and previous layers - would solve this problem completely. This simple improvement could make Photoshop a viable animation program, competitive with Plastic Animation Paper and Flipbook.
Is there at least a way I can download an add-on that would do this?
Thanks,
Joe

Do you mean something like:

FCP 7.2 : colors in canvas change between paused frames and playing frames

To all the FCP-Experts...
Just before this project I switched from FCP 6 to 7 (clean install) and started using ProRes 422 HQ instead of Blackmagic Uncompressed 10bit.
To my surprise, the preview-picture in the canvas is never the same when playback is paused compared to a running playback. On an external monitor, this effect does not occur. Briefly, the colors when paused are much more saturated.
There are some other minor differences concerning filters when playing back or pausing the image, which I can live with, but the color-difference is most annoying.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I don't think trimming back does anything. I've tried it once and also it's not in the media itself. It is strange though that it appears this way in QT player and then like a strange bump or hit in the video when played in another app like MPEG streamclip. Very weird! I'm beginning to think there is just some bugginess with FCP 7.0.3 and Lion 10.7.3. I should add that I get pretty consistent problems with crashing on my system also. It's periodic but definitely not the most stable. Would be great if Apple was still developing this version of FCP but I know that's just not the reality anymore. Thanks for all your time in looking at the issue with me.
Best,
JD

How can i change the color of the text bubble and change my name instead of having verizion at the top

how can i change the color of my background on my texting and the bobbles and instead of having verizon at the top i was told i could have my last name

You cannot. Customizations such as those are not available in iOS.

Mixing DVCPRO HD 720p 60 shot at 24 frames and 30 frames (with HVX-200)

I realize my first mistake was shooting at two different frame rates. So when I edit these two different types of HD footage, I notice the one shot at 24 frames has a slower feel. Whereas the 30 frame clips playback nice and smooth.
How do I now convert the 24 frame stuff to playback smoothly like the 30 frame footage? (I recored straight to a Firestore 100 in quicktime format. These are DVCPRO HD quicktimes at 59.94)
Please advise,

They will never look the same. The reason for shooting 24fps vs 30 fps is to get that different look.
Now, to get the BEST result in matching the two, put your 24fps clips in Compressor, create a new set of settings that match your clip's settings exactly (same compressor, etc). Chose 30fps and change the retimming option to BEST (Motion Compensated). This uses Shake's optical flow technology and will create a 30fps that will be very smooth. But again, there will still be a difference.

Multi Frame Reader with Infrared Frame and Body Frame

Hello,
I have just started developing programs using Kinect. I have just learn some basic from toolkit samples. From Coordinate Mapping sample, there is a Multi Frame Reader that used to help us use many reader at the same time.
I used multi frame reader on my code, but I cannot run it. I've combining Infrared example and body example code that run both frame inside:
private void Reader_MultiSourceFrameArrived(object sender, MultiSourceFrameArrivedEventArgs e)
do I also using coordinateMapper inside my program ?
Thank You

Thanks for your reply. I have followed the pattern from coordinateMapping sample and still got some errors haha. I'll checked it again, I am afraid there is outside this method that suppose to be use also from the sample. Also, I'll check the tutorial,
look awesome. I am not sure about my understanding about coordinateMapping type or variable used. Can you give me some easy understanding about coordinateMapping functionality ?
Thank you very much

T3i sensor size vs. full frame and how does that effect lens measurements?

I am new to both photography and the T3i camera. I have been reading Jeff Revell's book "Canon EOS Rebel T3i / 600D: From Snapshots to Great Shots". In chapter two he talks about "Lenses and Focal Lengths". In discussing wide-angle lenses he says
"As for which lenses would be considered wide angle, anything 35mm or smaller could be considered as wide."
Latter he discusses normal lenses and says
"The normal lens for full-frame and 35mm cameras is the 50mm lens, but for the T3i it is more in the neighborhood of a 35mm lens."
I understand that there is a 1 / 1.6 ratio between the T3i and a Full Frame camera. In the first quote does the 35mm refer to the T3i measurement or a full frame measurement?
Is there a standard nomenclature to indicate if you are specifying a "full frame" value verses the T3i value? If so, what is it?
When I look at one of my lenses, say the 18-55mm lens, is this the T3i measurement or the standard full frame?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
--Jesse
P.S. I could not find a publisher’s forum for this book or I would have asked the question there.

The fast answers are:
When he mentions the 35mm as the basis for determining what's "wide" he is referring to the APS-C crop-frame size sensor.
There is no nomenclature to indicate if you are "full frame" vs. "crop frame" on a lens because all lenses are reported in true focal lengths. There is a nomenclature to indicate if the lens was designed to only project an image circle onto the sensor which is large enough for "crop frame" ... which is what the "EF-S" lens is. If the lens is for "full frame" (which also works on all crop-frame) then it will have the designation "EF" for most lenses, but Canon also has a few specialty lenses such as the "TS-E" (tilt shift) and "MP-E" (macro photo) lenses which also provide full-frame sensor coverage. Incidentally... this is just Canon's way of tagging a lens... Nikon uses the terms "FX" and "DX" (for full frame and crop frame respectively). Everyone has their own tag. Just remember that focal lengths reported are true (well... there's a TINY bit of round-off allowed) and ignore the sensor size.
Here's the background which may help you understand why this is.
The "normal" focal length is based on the human eye, and to understand it, it's easier to think in terms of "angle of view" rather than "focal length."
If you sit and stare straight ahead without moving your eyes or head to "look around", there is an area of vision that the average person can see (and it does vary), but the "angle of view" for that area is about 40 degrees (horizontally). Of course our vision doesn't present our brain with a nice little rectangular image... it fades and is irregular, but it's generally accepted that the angle of view covers about 40 degrees.
The LENS that provides 40 degree angle of view coverage on a "full frame" camera turns out to be a 50mm lens. Images taken with such a lens will seem neither stretched out nor compressed... they'll seem "normal" to your brain. Also, if you can see an object without having to look around to take in the view, then your camera can "see" it with that lens.
A "full frame" camera is one which has a sensor size which is approximately the same as a single frame of 35mm film. The dimensions are roughly 36mm x 24mm.
There are many different crop frame sizes, but for DSLR cameras, the most popular (by far) is the APS-C size. This means the sensor is roughly the same size as a single frame for the "Advanced Photo System - Classic" film. You can think of this as being roughly 21mm x 14mm (although it varies by a just a few millimeters -- on your camera it's really 22.3 x 14.9mm).
If you were to use a movie projector and movie screen and you projected an image so that it fit perfectly on a 12' x 8' screen and called that "full frame", then a "crop frame" would be derived by shriking the movie screen down to about 8' wide by about 5-1/3' tall but (and here's the key) without doing ANYTHING to the movie projector. Essentially that means you're projecting an image intended to fit ona 12x8' screen... but the real screen is smaller. What happens to the part of the image that doesn't fit on the screen? It just spills off the sides and is lost. That is EXACTLY what happens inside a crop-frame camera.
Canon EOS "EF" lenses are designed to project an image large enough to fill a full-frame sensor ... so when used on a crop-frame camera some of that image just spills off the sides. This means that if your lens was providing a 40 degree angle of view (measured horizontally) then the crop-frame is only capturing the 26 degrees in the middle of it. If you want a 40 degree angle of view again... you'll need to change lenses.
And this is where your author suggests a 35mm lens is "normal" for a camera with an APS-C body. The math actually works out in the neighborhood of a 31mm lens, but nobody actually makes a 31mm lens... and a 35mm focal length (commonly available) is pretty close. Also 28mm lenses are commonly available and are ALSO pretty close. It's my personal opinion that 28mm is probably a bit more normal than 35mm, but that's because as an avid amateur astronomer, I am fairly used to looking through Plossl design eyepieces which provide a 50 degree apparent angle of view and my eye actually can see the edges of the frame, but if I go a bit wider... I can no longer see the edges of the field without "looking around" (regardless... 40 degrees seems to be the established norm and THAT is the value that everything is based on.)
For purposes of buying lenses, the focal lengths are NOT converted or adjusted in any way. For example, Canon makes "EF-S" lenses designed specifically to work with their crop-frame bodies. So when the kit lens that comes with the camera says it is a zoom with an 18-55mm focal length range... it really is 18-55mm regardless of sensor size. (Canon isn't multiplying or dividing focal lengths and putting a different value on the box just because it's intended for a crop-sensor camera.)
Hope this helps.

Tim

Working with frames and applets

Hi, I am writing an applet that recieves information from a sever. before the applet loads I display a frame that allows the user to select the information that is transfered across the net.
I block the applet from finishing until the okay button is clicked on the frame. However if I don't add my frame to the applet I can't manipulate the frame, and the frame doesn't recognize any mouse events
When i do add the frame to the applet, the checkboxes work and the button toggles, but the click doesn't do anything.
Finally the program works while using the applet viewer but it doesn't work across the net. Any information any one has would be greatly appreciated.
