Using Color From One portion of a Photo to Correct Color in a Faded Area

I'm a complete noob with photoshop elements 10. The more I look on this forum and in help the more confuesd I get. Here's my problem.
I have an old photograph that has faded from expoesure to sunlight. After removing the photo from the frame there is about a 1/2" portion around the entire picture that isn't faded and has correct color. How do I tell Elements to use that area with the correct color as the basis for fixing the faded portion of the photo?

There's one trick you can try to automate the process somewhat:
Make a duplicate of your original photo, and do all the remaining stuff on that duplicate photo so your original photo is safe.
Open the duplicate photo in PSE.
Use the Rectangular Marquee tool to select the faded area.
Use Edit...Cut to place the faded area on the Clipboard.
Save the image with the remaining "frame" area.
Use File...New...Image from Clipboard to create a new image with only the faded portion, and save it.
Use File...New...PhotoMerge Style Match.
At the bottom of the StyleMatch editing screen, click on the "Project Bin" tab so you can select your opened file to use.
Adjust the settings to suit.
The Help has more info about Style Merge:

You'll probably still need to do quite a bit of hand work, but that might give you a good starting point.

From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

Hi,
Use NVL or COALESCE:
NVL (col_a, col_b)
Returns col_a if col_a is not NULL; otherwise, it returns col_b.
Col_a and col_b must have similar (if not identical) datatypes; for example, if col_a is a DATE, then col_b can be another DATE or it can be a TIMESTAMP, but it can't be a VARCHAR2.
For more about NVL and COALESCE, see the SQL Language manual: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/functions119.htm#sthref1310
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

How can I using tpcall from one service to another service in the same server

anybody can tell me why?Basically, tpcall:ing another service in the same server is a no-no, unless you
a) are running a multi-threaded server (requires TUXEDO 7 or newer + compilation
options) or
b) use tpacall() instead of tpcall() and specify the flag TPNOREPLY. This is probably
not what you want to accomplish, though.
The reason is that TUXEDO servers by default (and always in versions before 7)
are single-threaded. If service A and B both reside in server X, server X will
be busy taking care of the call to A. If A makes a call to B, the call will be
put on the queue to X, but X will not look at the queue until it is done with
A, which won't happen until B returns... deadlock!
You can play tricks with starting multiple instances of X, but in the end you
will always face a risk (something lika a race-condition) for a dead-lock.
Solution: Move service B to another server (usually quite easy) OR switch to multi-threading,
if that's possible. Just make sure all code your service calls is MT-safe as well...
thanks
georgeHope this helps you,

Data transfer using EDI from one SAP system to other SAP system

Dear all,
I understand that i should use normal ale-idoc features to transfer data from one sap to other sap system.
but can i transfer those idocs using EDI from one SAP to other SAP system

Hello,
surely you can do so.
EDI means that you transfer data in standardized EDI-formats. To get the data at the source into that formats you normally use an EDI-Converter, which maps the IDOC-format into the EDI-format. Then you send the data in EDI-format to an EDI-converter at the target. There's the reverse mapping. You map the EDI-Format into IDOC-format and book these IDOCs into SAP.
I think this makes only sense if you cross organizational borders within the business process, e.g., if you define an exchange with many customers, but not all of them have an SAP-system.

Can you use cache from lightroom to restore lost photos

I have somehow deleted pictures from my hard drive and all i have left is the cache folder. There are several .dat files ( 1 gig worth ) in the folder but I can't seem to extract them. Is there any way to extract these .dat files to their original files?

There is 1 gig of data in the irdata folder but there aren't any previews in the catalog.
You know the funny thing is ( well not really funny) but I have 4 hard drives in my computer, 2 external hard drives, one with a 1 tgig and the other with 2 tgig you would think I have enough backup.... well in a matter of a week i moved all my wife's pictures out of the 4 internal hds to the 2 externals and they both crashed so the only pictures we have left are the ones I hard copied onto discs before I got the externals. Its going to cost around $1200 to recover (if they can) the pictures from One of the external hds. So don't think you are safe with just 1 extra hard drive !!! Make Hard Copies Always!!!!

Translation from CS5 to Cloud doesn't work correct, navi and linked images are broken.

Translation from CS5 to Cloud doesn't work correct, <navi> and linked images are broken.
The data of CS5 was created at another PC. I installed Cloud version into two different PC. One has had the site data since dreamweaver CS5 and it works correct in Cloud version. Another PC got the site data from remote server and it doesn't work correct. <navi> and linked image are broken.

This implies your site is not properly defined in DW. Go to Site > Manage Sites.
Or simply go to your other installation of DW and export the site definition file from Manage Sites.
Save it to a flash stick or other removable drive. Then import the STE file into your 2nd installation of DW.

Try this:
Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
If that doesn't work then backup and then restore the device as new.
And if none of that works, take it to an apple store or call apple support

How do I transfer a color from one object to another without losing the gradient?

COLORING AN OBJECT AND SAVING THE GRADIENT
These are my notes.
x
Choose the EYEDROPPER tool.
x
Sample the color you want from an object in your image.
x
Double-click on the fill icon at the bottom of the tool panel.
This brings up the COLOR PICKER panel.
In that panel, you'll find the numeric value of the color you sampled.
I followed these instructions but when the COLOR PICKER panel came up, it didn't show the color it was suppose to show. The color I sampled with the eyedropper was a light blue with a gradient. I had a few different files up with the same image. One file brought up the color orange in the Color Picker panel. And another file brought up a total BLACK, with a numeric value of 0000! Can anyone tell me what's happening?

My guess is the eyedropper tool is struggling. The best way and the one I use is to get color readings in Photoshop using its eyedropper tool. Write down the color percentages for each color you want from the image. Then, in Illustrator, I use the color palette to create new swatches using the percentage I wrote down from the actual image file. Those new swatches can be used ( or transferred to ) in the gradient palette. I have never used the eyedropper tool for getting color from anywhere in Illustrator. But, that's just me.

How come when i copy a color from one page to another, the color looks faded?

I'm using the same color in a multi-page layout. When i copy a color box from one page to another, the color looks faded on some pages. WHY?! Thanks!

So i checked the blend spaces - both are CMYK (as this doc will be offset printed). Something really strange is happening! See attach below: the 2 blues (same setup/blend space, color breakdown, etc...) look different! And my client is PICKY! ugh. HELP! Thanks again!

Beginner question: retaining color on a portion of a photo

I know this is a reletively easy function in Photoshop, but I wondered if it is possible in Lightroom to reduce color saturation to zero in only selected portions of a photo. For example, to have a black and white portrait with blue eyes.
Is this possible? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Excellent tip ...
Alan.
