Using a Brick Wall .jpg as a Texture - in PSE and AI?
Hello Photoshop Elements users and experts: thanks in advance for reading this post and for your generous help.
I would like to use the brick wall in the following image:
To be applied to the surrounding edge of an illustration in Adobe Illustrator so that the billboard blends into the bricked wall which it is in front of
How can I accomplish this? Thanks for your help!
What do you mean by "blends" ? Do you simply want to superimpose the billboard over the brick wall or something more elaborate?

I want to move a selection (a person) into an image of a brick wall and have it look like the person was painted on the wall. Can it be done? Using CC on iMac. Thanks
Yes of course its Photoshop. Cut the person out copy to clipboard paste onto toe brick wall document and texture the layer using a displacement map for the brick wall. Look for Photoshop tutorials on using a displacement map.

Make writing appear as though hugging a textured background such as a brick wall - how do I do that?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "hugging"? Do you want the text to contain a pattern overlay or just the layer beneath it? Or perhaps you want a pattern overlay on both layers? Click on screenshot.

I can't get a signal through whole house because of a brick wall What range extender do you recommend to be used with my wireless router ( apple brand)
Very few 3rd party wireless extenders will work with an Apple router, so your best bet is always to use an extender that is the same brand as the main router. An AirPort Express is a popular choice for this type of application with another Apple router.
If you had a Cisco router, then a Cisco extender would be your best bet. Same for Netgear, etc.
But......a wireless extender can only "extend" the quality of wireless signal that it receives, and not much of a wireless signal is going to make it through a brick wall, so whether any extender might do what you want is open to question.
You won't know whether an extender using wireless to connect will work to your satisfaction in your home until you actually try it out in your home.
The performance will always be much better if you can connect the extending device back to the main router using a wired Ethernet cable connection.
If it is not possible to run the Ethernet cable, a pair of Ethernet power line adapters might be able to send the signal over the existing AC power lines in your home. The theory with these devices is that you already have the wiring in place, you just need the adapters.
In practice though, things do not always work as well as the theory might suggest, so if you decide to try a pair of adapters, it might be a good idea to understand the store's return policies before you buy. -

Brick Wall Problem: Array of Clusters, Size of array from reference
Good Morning Forums,
I have hit a brick wall with my application and I am hoping somebody can help!
I have an array of clusters of indeterminate size (the cluster is generic, data contained not relevant.).
Inputs to the VI are: a reference to the array, and a variant containing the data.
My problem is I need to determine the array size from these two inputs and I cannot find a way to do it!
If the array contained a standard data type I can use the class name property to determine data type, and the size of the array returned from "select size" property to determine dimension size. With this information i can cast the variant into the correct data type and use this to determine the size of the array. If the data is a cluster the class name simply returns "cluster" so I cannot cast the variant and therefore am unable to determine the size.
I am not worried about casting the data (once i determine the size this bit is no issue), I just need to determine the size (and preferably number of dimensions) of the array. Can this be done?
Cheers for any help

There seem to be a couple of potential solutions.:
#1 if the varient is created within LabVIEW you can wite size(s) to a varient attribute. This would be pretty straightforward and easy to implement- I imagine you would have thought of that so you may not have access to the code writing cluster to varient and it gets a bit trickier.
#2 cast the varient to string and return string length- this should give you a measure of total size and you would need to know the size per element of cluster (just cast one instance of cluster array to varient and then to string with size and size++) but this only returns the total size of the array since nDim arrays are actually stored sequentially.
Hope this helped

Brick walls in dvd player 4.6.1
Hi all,
I upgraded to 10.4.3 from 10.3 a week ago. I'm using dvd player 4.6.1 as well.
Now when I play regular (not burned) dvd's, you know, the kind one buys in a store, I get a lot of visible (digital ?) distortion.
It's like the pictures have no smoothing anymore. Horizontal lines will flip in slow camera sweeps. Shoulders will have " brick-wall " shapes. As will other horizontal parts like lips, eyes, eyebrows, highways, etc. When I boot up in 9.2.2 and watch the same dvd's, I don't have any problems of this kind !!!!
Is there anyone out there experiencing the same problems ?Hi,
It took me some time, but I did not like the idea of removing and modifying me otherwise good working 10.4.3 system. So the last week of december I bought an extra hard disk and started upgrading my G4. It now has the original 20 G HD, an 80 G and a 250 G HD installed.
I now have two partitions on the 80 G disk : 9.2.2 and 10.4.4
On the 20 G disk is my original 9.2.2 and a 10.2.8 .
I was able to copy the 3.2 DVD program from the 10.2.8 system onto my 10.4.4 partition and it works fine there !
I now can compare the 3.2 DVD player and the 4.6.5 DVD player directly. It turns out the 3.2 version has nearly perfect image quality (no distortion) and the 4.6.5 has the same problem as the 4.6.1 version : distortion like the steps of a staircase. So Apple did not resolve the problem with the upgrade, or my setup is not supported any more; but I don't believe that.
(my G4 hardware : G4 400, 2G Ram, 23" HD Cinema display, 19" 109S philips crt, ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 128 MB, OS 10.4.4)
If needed I can build a second 10.4.4 system and I probably will, to be absolutely sure.
Greetings,

Banging my head against a brick wall
Some background information: I currently have two phone lines, let’s call them line A and line B.
At the beginning of September I decided to move by broadband to BT and signed up online for a Total Broadband package to be activated on line A (the line on which my previous broadband service was active). During the signing up process I was asked if I wished to save money and sign up to the line rental saver, which I did. I got my order confirmation by e-mail and thought all was well.
Having ordered BT Broadband for line A, I decided that I would cancel line B, as I had no use for it.
Shortly after the initial order confirmation e-mail, I received a further e-mail and noticed it stated that new services were starting on both line A and line B, which confused me as I had never signed up for any changes to line B. So I called Customer Services to check out the situation and explained that I wished to cancel line B and did not understand why services relating to that line were mentioned in my e-mail. I was informed that BT was unable to do anything at the time due to there being an order on the line. However, I was told that if I called back once the broadband had been activated on line A, then everything could be sorted out.
So, as soon as the broadband order had been completed on line A, I called back Customer Services to cancel line B. However, I was told that I had paid the line rental saver for line B and would lose that money if I cancelled the line. I checked my account online and, sure enough, BT had activated the broadband on line A but, inexplicably, had applied the line rental saver to line B.
Immediately, I called Customer Services to sort out the problem: I wanted BT to change the line rental saver from line B to line A (as per my order) and cancel line B. However, I was told that it was not possible to change the line rental saver from one line to another. I tried to explain that the error was on the part of BT and that it was down to them to find a solution, only to be met by protestations that this was not possible. I have now spoken to customer services on three separate occasions to try and sort out the problem, without success. Twice I have requested call-backs from a manager and heard nothing either time.
I have now reached the end of my tether as I do not understand why BT is claiming that they are unable to correct their own error. As a result of the situation, I am currently paying for a line I no longer want and am unable to cancel the line without losing a fair amount of money.
Where did it all go wrong with BT customer service? I am sick of speaking to people who struggle to grasp the nature of issues and appear powerless to address any problems unless they are on their crib sheets. It is very frustrating that BT makes it impossible to escalate problems to managers when needed and I am incredulous that the Company is trying to claim that it is unable to sort out a billing error of its own making (particularly as I would imagine that the change of line rental saver from one line to another is simply a matter of changing some details on a computer system).
I hope that someone here can offer some help or point me in the right direction, as I currently feel like I am banging my head against a brick wall and am very disappointed with BT’s response so far.
Many thanks

Hello and thanks to anyone who posts in this thread.
I just finished editing all my wedding ceremony, reception, and honeymoon footage, barely fits on one DL DVD. I I authored the DVD in iDVD. Because of all the submenus and slideshows...my father-in-law says it's a pain to grab the remote to go to the next video...there should be a play all button. Now, I have my own thoughts and opinions on the remote issue...lets not get in to that...i just want to make him happy...lol.
This is my brick wall...
I have DVD Studio Pro 4...it's not that complicated of a DVD to use it. Can I take what I've done in iDVD, and add that one button in DVDSP4?
I have Toast - Can I do it in Toast?
Please help me climb the wall. Thank you.Hello,
DVDSP can do this. I don't know the exact steps off the top of my head. However, DVDSP will not use any iDVD assets. Your sequence will need re-compressed via Compressor. Or, for such a long sequence(s), I might suggest picking up LaCie's FastCoder (http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10498). I am just trying it out as I type this but so far so good! Near real-time encoding of sequences in an elementary stream (what DVDSP needs). Compare that to at least 1.5x encoding on super fast systems. Well worth the $50. Another reason to use DVDSP with such long content is that DVDSP will use compressed audio, iDVD uses full quality PCM (uncompressed) audio. This will chew up a chunk of disk real-estate.
Don't know about Toast, other than your project would still need to be re-compressed.
Finally, any type of media, discs, hard drives, compact flash, etc... always has less useable space than "advertised" due to how the bytes are calculated:

I have Airport Extreme as the base unit and an Express unit in a room separated by a brick wall to improve signal. Express shows a green light indicating signal but my iPad does not perform well. How can I improve other than hardwire ethernet connection?
Other suggestions, and more info about the nature of the problem, may be in this Apple tech note.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1365
For example, you might find that the brick wall is not the only problem. There may be other devices pumping out enough wireless interference to be making things even worse.
I agree with Bob Timmons that Ethernet is best and most reliable. And that powerline (which I use) is easier and potentially faster than wireless...but only if your power lines do not have electrical devices plugged in which produce electrical noise on the line. Powerline will be slower than Gigabit Ethernet.
Ethernet cable is the only way to ensure that the signal goes directly there in a shielded way for a clear fast signal. Wireless and powerline are much slower because of all the other things the signal has to fight past to get to the other device. -
I am trying to play a DVD on my MacBook Pro and transmit it to my TV (using my TV as the monitor) utilizing a VGA cable and adapter for the Mac but the only image that shows up on the TV is the MacBook wall paper, any ideas on how I can transmit the movie from my MacBook to the TV? I also tried an HDMI cable and had the same issue.
you are probably seeing the extended display.. to see ur main display go to pefrences then display steeings and turn mirroring on.
this will display ur mbp main screen. good luck. -
I use Outlook for my email on the Safari web browser, and about 90% of the time when I want to attach a pdf or jpg file it fails and about 50% of the time when I want to send a standard text massage it will also fail and the email massage crashes. The only way I can get my Outlook to work is if I switch to Firefox web browser. I would rather not switch to a new web browser if I don't have to.
It seems like what ever the problem is that its related the Safari web browser, because it works fine on the Firefox web browser.
I think its some kind of plug-in failure because it giving me a LOC ERROR:
LOC ERROR: Unable to locate localized string for resource ID 5007.
How can I fix this Plug-in?
And, yes my softwer is conpletly updated…That's an Outlook issue. You'll probably get better responses posting on the Office for Mac forums.

How Realistic is it to Use Aperture with a JPG Workflow instead of iPhoto?
Hi!
(for reference, I am not a world-class photographer jet-setting all over the world with hot shot clients. I'm a serious hobbyist, enthusiast, freelancer, whatever you wanna call it. I get paid for small headshot and portrait gigs here and there. I am serious about my work, though.) I've been trying to get Aperture for a while, but spent a lot of time developing my skill as a photographer.
I no longer depend on shooting RAW. Is it really necessary to use Aperture if you're in a JPG workflow?
I don't struggle with exposure issues, color casts, and stuff like that. I rely on keywording, organizing, web galleries, and exporting to different sizes. I do that heavily in iPhoto. I've only used the demo of APerture a while ago when I shot RAW and I loved it. But, again, is it worth it if I shoot JPG?
Please give some solid advice about the fitness of the app for working with JPGs as opposed to iPhoto. Thanks so much!!!
ScottI think Aperture has lots of benefits for jpeg users, although I would aslo advocate forgetting jpeg, even in a controlled environment.
let's go for it:
1
Aperture is structured for large libraries. if you do not put more than say, 3 to 5 hundred pix per project, you can go far without feeling the "slowing down" feeling of iPhoto users with large (20 000+) photo libraries.
2
Editing is non destructive, and you get the sliders from the previous edits where you left them. iPhoto will create a "modified" picture with your setting, then forget the settings (you can ask iPhoto to keep the original and in that case iPhoto creates a new file on your hard drive, effectively doubling the HD space used, whereas Aperture still only stores the original on disk, and makes the adjustments 'on the fly' when you call up the picture)
3
Keywording is done using IPTC and other standards, and the software allows embedding the keywords in the jpeg files when exporting... rendering your rating and keywording much more universal
4
Aperture lets you manipulate RAW files and JPEG files alongside, the workflow is exactly the same. So if you feel like switching to RAW occasionnaly or later, more permanently, all the e-learning will be on the same software (iPhoto can convert RAW files, but is very clunky for that particular use)...
