Using Filters in PS

I have a problem using filters( e.g. oil painting or blur), they are greyed out.
I'm using Win8 64 bit and a geforce 650M.
The drivers are new (updated today to 320.49) and opengl and opencl are running.
Here are my system infos, maybe they are helpfull

I would be glad if somebody could help me!!!
Thanks!!

One could argue that

Because there haven't been many requests to enable them for 16 or 32 bit/channel.
This isn't about age, this is about doing things right, and about prioritizing the work (it's not like we have a shortage of feature requests) -- updating the math in filters takes time, as does testing the updated math. We have to have some justification for doing that work (why should it be done, what does it enable, how does it help someone's work). And if all we get are "make them all work" and "give me a pony" requests, then there is no justification for doing it.
One could argue that that is a problem in itself: a reactive behaviour rather than an active one in regards to your users and omplemented features stifles creativity and innovation. You will not get a lot of users requesting a change in how layer masks are implemented in Photoshop, because 99% of the users have no clue that there is a far superior approach possible. Same for instanced layers, and the possibility to have a range of -200% up to +200% for a layer's opacity.
I can tell you that these small innovative features in Photoline slap Photoshop in the face in terms of usability and flexibility.
And as for rewriting the filters: I sort-of understand - however, seeing that two Photoline developers seem to be doing a better job then Adobe. On the other hand, working in a large behemoth environment like Adobe probably causes a lot of bureacratic delay as well.

Photoshop does allow layers of arbitrary mode and depth - via Smart Objects. We just make it explicit when you are getting a conversion and potentially losing quality. Just remember that you can't actually blend layers of different mode and depth - they have to get converted to a common form at some point, and each conversion is potentially lossy.
Smart objects, although they do have some perks, feel a bit patchy, and an awkward way of working compared to Photoline's layer system. It feels as if you are working with individual files in a project, rather than layers. Photoline's layer system does not care about whether a layer happens to be a certain size, bit depth and/or image mode. One project can hold all of these, and any layer effect and adjustment layer can be applied to all.
Very liberating.

Using filters in business connectivity services

I am now completely confused by the BCS filter option. I added a Business Data List to a page and connected it to my external content type. Then I have configured 2 filters in SPD:
LocationID = User input (comparison)
AND
Address = wildcard
Default value for both is null and I checked to ignore the Filter if the value is null.
When I search for Address contains "City Name" it correctly returns items with that city in the address but when I search for Location ID equals 12345 it returns all of the items.
How can I fix this?
Thanks!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you get all items when using filters in business connectivity services.
You need to make sure you define filter in external content type correctly.
If you refine the search results in the External Item picker, you can refer to:
How to: Define Filters for External Item Picker Controls
If you use Content Editor web part implement searching on the External List, you can refer to:
External List with BCS & Search Filters

How to use filters on ios mobile devices (iPhone/iPad) using GPU rendering (Solved)

Many moons ago I asked a question here on the forums about how to use filters (specifically a glow filter) on a mobile devices (specifically the iPhone) when using GPU rendering and high resolution.
At the time, there was no answer... filters were unsupported. Period.
Well, Thanks to a buddy of mine, this problem has been solved and I can report that I have gotten a color matrix filter for desaturation AND a glow filter working on the iPhone and the iPad using GPU rendering and high resolution.
The solution, in a nut shell is as follows:
1: Create your display object... ie: a sprite.
2. Apply your filter to the sprite like you normally would.
3. Create a new bitmapdata and then draw that display object into the bitmap data.
4. Put the new bitmapdata into a bitmap and then put it on the stage or do what you want.
When you draw the display object into the bitmapdata, it will draw it WITH THE FILTER!
So even if you put your display object onto the stage, the filter will not be visible, but the new bitmapdata will!
Here is a sample app I created and tested on the iphone and ipad
var bm:Bitmap;
// temp bitmap object
var bmData:BitmapData;
// temp bitmapData object
var m:Matrix;
// temp matrix object
var gl:GlowFilter;
// the glow filter we are going to use
var sprGL:Sprite;
// the source sprite we are going to apply the filter too
var sprGL2:Sprite;
// the sprite that will hold our final bitmapdata containing the original sprite with a filter.
// create the filters we are going to use.
gl = new GlowFilter(0xFF0000, 0.9, 10, 10, 5, 2, false, false);
// create the source sprite that will use our glow filter.
sprGL = new Sprite();
// create a bitmap with any image from our library to place into our source sprite.
bm = new Bitmap(new Msgbox_Background(), "auto", true);
// add the bitmap to our source sprite.
sprGL.addChild(bm);
// add the glow filter to the source sprite.
sprGL.filters = [gl];
// create the bitmapdata that will draw our glowing sprite.
sprGL2 = new Sprite();
// create the bitmap data to hold our new image... remember, with glow filters, you need to add the padding for the flow manually. Should be double the blur size
bmData = new BitmapData(sprGL.width+20, sprGL.height+20, true, 0);
// create a matrix to translate our source image when we draw it. Should be the same as our filter blur size.
m = new Matrix(1,0,0,1, 10, 10);
// draw the source sprite containing the filter into our bitmap data
bmData.draw(sprGL, m);
// put the new bitmap data into a bitmap so we can see it on screen.
bm = new Bitmap(bmData, "auto", true);
// put the new bitmap into a sprite - this is just because the rest of my test app needed it, you can probably just put the bitmap right on the screen directly.
sprGL2.addChild(bm);
// put the source sprite with the filter on the stage. It should draw, but you will not see the filter.
sprGL.x = 100;
sprGL.y = 50;
this.addChild(sprGL);
// put the filtered sprite on the stage. it shoudl appear like the source sprite, but a little bigger (because of the glow padding)
// and unlike the source sprite, the flow filter should acutally be visible now!
sprGL2.x = 300;
sprGL2.y = 50;
this.addChild(sprGL2);

Great stuff dave
I currently have a slider which changes the hue of an image in a movieclip, I need it to move through he full range -180 to 180.
I desperately need to get this working on a tablet but cant get the filters to work in GPU mode. My application works too slow in cpu mode.
var Mcolor:AdjustColor = new AdjustColor();   //This object will hold the color properties
var Mfilter:ColorMatrixFilter;                           //Will store the modified color filter to change the image
var markerSli:SliderUI = new SliderUI(stage, "x", markerSli.track_mc, markerSli.slider_mc, -180, 180, 0, 1);   //using slider from http://evolve.reintroducing.com
Mcolor.brightness = 0; Mcolor.contrast = 0; Mcolor.hue = 0; Mcolor.saturation = 0;            // Set initial value for filter
markerSli.addEventListener(SliderUIEvent.ON_UPDATE, markerSlider);                          // listen for slider changes
function markerSlider($evt:SliderUIEvent):void {
    Mcolor.hue = $evt.currentValue;
    updateM();
function updateM():void{
    Mfilter = new ColorMatrixFilter(Mcolor.CalculateFinalFlatArray());
    all.marker.filters = [Mfilter];
how would I use your solution in my case
many thanks.

Does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

Several ways to get similar results. Image > Adjustments > Posturize with low values similar to what you'd use n Cutout. This is the most flexible way I can think of as you keep the image in RGB mode with layers intact. A more radical approach would be to reduce bit depth using Indexed Colour. You'll need to experiment with settings, try changing Forced to Primaries, and Matte to Foreground Color. There's no going back from this route, although you can change the mode back to RGB to re-enable layers, adjustment layers etc.
A nice thing about the Filter gallery filters is that you can change the layer to a Smart object with all the control that gives you.
Now if only this forum could filter out bizarre content.

IBot issue - Using filters in iBot

Dear OBI EE Experts,
We are working on an OBI EE problem, which is the below one.
We have parent report in OBI answer with out any conditions.
We created an iBot and we would like to apply a filter condition with out disturbing the parent report and send the output to one set of configured recipients (SA_System recipients).
Use the same base report and configure another ibot with another filter condition to send 2nd set of configured recipients (SA_System recipients).
So, when ever we do change in the parent report like adding a column or removing a column, the ibot report should have the impact. Like creating view from oracle table with 'Select * from table1'.
Net-net, one report to multiple ibots (recipients) with multiple filter conditions.
Please, let us know if you have any solutions for this.

Data upload from R3 to BPC using filters

We are facing a performance issue on the uploading data flow from R3 to BPC. Two steps have been set up.
Step1: R/3 --> ODS --> BW CUBE (No filters and full mode)
Step2: BW CUBE --> BPC CUBE (Standard BW upload package)
The first one (from R3 to a BW Cube) has no filters, so it loads every data and it takes too much time. However, the second one (from the Cube to BPC) has filtering options, so we can only load the data we need to (we usually use entity and time filters).
Both are executed from the BPC DataManager.
Any advice to improve the performance of the first step? Could we join the step 1 and step 2 and get the filters from the standard BW upload process using a custom process chain?
Does anybody have any experience using filters to reduce the amount of records on the data uploading from R/3 to BPC?
BPC Version 7.50.15

Hi,
for example in BI data is stored as below
GroupAcc - Date - Balance
100000 - 12.12.10 - 400
**I'm not quite sure how you are getting the above data from infocube.Are you directly loading data from PSA to infocube with out loading data into DSO -0FIGL_O10(General ledger(New):Transaction figures) ?
To get required format of following data, no need to do any thing while laoding the data into BPC. Your BI infocube should maitain the data in below format.
GroupAcc - Date - Balance
100000 - 12.12.10 - 100 - (LC)
100000 - 12.12.10 - 100 - (TC)
100000 - 12.12.10 - 200 - (GC)
To acheive above format of data in the infocube please follow standard way of data flow given by SAP in BI Contect(http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/e6/f16940c3c7bf49e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm).
Flow should be
R/3 --> PSA --> DSO -->Infocube.
In this flow its important to remember about infoobect 0CURKEY_TC in DSO.
This is always the currency key of the transaction currency; it is also filled for records with a different currency type. Without this key field, postings with different transaction currencies would be overwritten after summarization and thereby be lost.
(http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/a8/e26840b151181ce10000000a1550b0/content.htm)
Once you follow the standard flow, your infocube contains the requried format (LC,TC and GC )of data to load it into BPC application.
hope it helps...

Raju

Using Filters (such as seen in music videos - Ray Movie)

Hello out there, hope someone can help. I want to use filters and I am trying to get a specific look, such as the look in Trisha yearwoods - Georga Rain video and some scenes in THe movie Ray- Jamie Fox.
Both of these projects have a certain look that makes the colors all seem very bright or rich? I can do sepia , posterize etc but I can't seem to find anything that enchances to get the desired look,
Could it be I need a high tech camera, or a filter for the camera itself? I thought I could pull it off w/filters in the editing process

Hi Tim.
I can't find the Film Levels Filter on the Stibs site (below) but there is a Colour Engine.

As the messages tries to suggest, the elements under <web-app> must appear in a specific order. In particular the <filter> elements, if any, must appear before any <session-config> elements. That isn't the case in what you posted so it fails validation by the DTD.

Authorization and Authentication using filters in jsf aplication

Hello,
I need some valuable suggestions to develop a jsf application for users to login where they be Authenticated and Authorized to go to other applications using filters . I am using websphere application server 6.0.
and need to share sesion data across application.
Please let me know some existing application or example to look into.
Thanks in advance. :)

All the requests that are to a particlar folder must be authenticated and once authenticated they must be logged in until they logout or close the browser.
How can I do this using filters.Just check if the user is logged in and handle accordingly. If the user is not logged in, then redirect the request to the login page or so. If the user is logged in, then continue with request.
Pseudo:doFilter() {
    if (user is not logged in) {
        redirect to login page;
    } else {
        proceed with request;
}And map this filter on an url-pattern covering the secured pages. Fairly simple.

How can I use filters to show sequential quarters in a table - Heat Map

I need to sum sales for this quarter and last quarter, then do a percent change calculation in one table in 11g
It needs to look like this:
Product X, Last Qtr, This Qtr, % Change
Prod_123, $100, $150, 50%
I've tried creating one analysis for "Last Qtr" and an identical analysis for "This Qtr" and then tried using each as a filter for the two sales amounts but it isn't working.
I know this is possible as I've seen articles written about this - but no examples or screen pictures so far.
Anybody know how to do this?
Thanks in advance!

sorry but I still don't see how that would work.
Create a new query - Start with "Fiscal Year" and Filter it for 2012. Add Fiscal Month number and filter it for "11;12", last add the "Sales Amount" fact. You should get a result with two rows, one for month 11 and one for month 12, each with a "Sales Amount" like this:
Fiscal Year Fiscal Month Number Sales Amount
2012 11 $100
2012 12 $150
The problem is that I need month 11 and month 12 as separate columns on the same row so I can do a calculation on them. Like this:
Fiscal Year Month 11 Sales Month 12 Sales Month12/Month 11
2012 $100 $150 1.50
This is what I am doing that is not working:
1) With the first analysis above - set the month filter to "11" and save the analysis as "Month 11 Sales Amount"
2) With the first analysis above - set the month filter to "12" and save the analysis as "Month 12 Sales Amount"
Now I have two analysis to use with the "is based on results of another analysis" filter in a third analysis. One filter anaysis for each month.
3) With one of the above two analysis - remove the filters and save as "Month 12/Month 11 Sales Amount"
4) Add another "Sales Amount" column to the analysis - so now we have a Fiscal Year, Fiscal Month Number, Sales Amount, Sales Amount columns
5) Add filter to the first "Sales Amount" column using the "is based on results of another analysis" option and select the "Sales Amount" column of the "Month 11 Sales Amount" analysis
This results in only the Month 11 sales amount being returned.
6) When I add the Month 12 Sales Amount analysis as a filter for the second "sales Amount" column - as expected - no values are returned....
So - How do you get this:
Fiscal Year Month 11 Sales Month 12 Sales Month12/Month 11
2012 $100 $150 1.50
Without using SQL or Pivot views?

Why use filters in BADI (SAP-ABAP) when same can be achieved using paramete

Hello Experts!
I am a newbie in SAP and this might be a very basic question so, i am sorry for that!
I was wondering, what is the use of "filters(flt_val)" in BADI (SAP-ABAP) ?
I guess we can achieve the same using parameters ?
I know that we can pass structure as flt_val, thus reducing the no. of parameters sent. I also read about sending country and things like that to our BADIs to behave differently based on that.
(i.e. say tax rates differ from country to country so may be we can set tax rate of GB to 16 or something..)
but still i am confused about the significance of Filters.
I will be grateful, if anyone could answer this one...
Thanks in advance!!!
Rgds,
Mayur

Hello Mr. Venu,
Thanks for your answer. It helped somewhat, but it's not solved the doubt to 100%...
Please let me ask you for some more information on this one and please correct if i am wrong: -
Suppose, there are 10 company codes that we need to handle, so as you said, we have 10 implementations of the BADI.
We decide to use company code as filter. We have 10 different implementations of BADI, which are deveoped
by 10 different teams(or 10 members of the same team etc..).
This will have 10 different Active implementations of our BADI. and based on the filter, respective impls are called.
Is this right or wrong?
If right, then why not use parameters instead? They can do the same!
If wrong, i am sorry, but could you elaborate about the mistake?
Thanks again,
Mayur.

Previews missing at catalog and drive level. Unable to use filters at this level. Missing folders.

Using LR4 (not 4.1) and Win7 Home Premium.
Catalog had been upgraded from LR3 and LR4 catalog was working fine until now. I've been using LR since the begining.
Two problems, probably related. 106K photos over two drives, almost 3Tb.
At the catalog level, there are no previews. Normally previews of all 106K photos would be displayed. Message is "Click the "import" button to begin." Filter function does not work Message: "No photos match the filter"
At the drive level, there are no previews. Message is "No photos in selected folder" Filter function does not work Message: "No photos match the filter"
At the folder level, everything is fine, except two folders give the same message "No photos in selected folder" Filter function does not work in these two folders: Message: "No photos match the filter" 14K photos between the two bad folders
Dozens, hundreds, of other folders and subfolders are fine. Filter function works fine at folder and subfolder level.
Collections are fine, including photos in the two folders giving the mesage "No photos in selected folder"
What I've done:
uninstalled and reinstalled LR4 twice.
Downloaded and installed clean LR4.
Same problems
Tried to import the missing folders. Won't import because they're already in the catalog. Won't import even if I uncheck "Don't import suspected duplicates"
Exported as a catalog one of the "No photos in selected folder" folders. It appeared to create a viable catalog with previews, search filters, etc. I edited a few photos with no problems. Although it did give a message saying several hundred previews were missing. But they seem to be there anyway.
Deleted the folder from the catalog and imported from catalog the working folder catalog that I just created.
Same problems.
Exported as a catalog the other "No photos in selected folder" folder. Same result as the first bad folder. I.e. It appeared to create a viable catalog with previews, search filters, etc. Although it did give a message saying several hundred previews were missing. But they seem to be there anyway.
Haven't done anything with this second folder catalog. Intriguing, the same message about missing previews.
The actual files and *.xmp files are in the bad folders.
Now what?

Discovered a thread in this forum. Known problem solved by 4.1 beta. Upgraded to LR4.1 and problem solved.

Using Filters in Direct Database Request

Hi,
I am creating my report table using direct database request option. Now i want to filter the column values. But in Direct Database Request report OBIEE is not giving option for filtering i.e. filter Add Filter button is not visible. How can i do it?
Thanks
Aasim Khan

Actually i can not hard code these values in my SQL. I am using variables in my SQL to give where clause condition. But how can i set these variables? The actual scenario is that i have a report table. When i clicked some column of this report i have to navigate to another report and pass some value of clicked row to the next report. On the next report SQL i have defied a variable in my where clause. But i am unable to set this variable when i clicked on some row link. So how can i achieve it in direct database request report?
In normal answer report all values of the clicked report are passed to the next report, and in the next report we mention filters with "is prompted" option to apply the selected values. But in Direct Database Request report we do not have this filter option. So can anybody explain how can i update variable values in the above mentioned scenario.
Thanks,
Aasim Khan.
