Using selection to hide a mask in CS6

Hello
I wish to apply a grunge effect to portraits but for it not to show on the subject, just the background. I have done this by applying the grunge effect then creating a mask and then using the brush tool to paint away the effect from the subject carefully so as not to spill over into the background. It works fine but is time consuming.
I would like to apply the grunge effect using a selection instead whereby I select the subject and apply the effect. Because the subject has a selection arouind it, I can use the brush tool without straying outside the selection. I would like ti know how to do this, using perhaps the Quick Mask. I hope you can help. Thank you.
Kind Regards
Farrukh Hyder

With your effect on a seperate layer having a blank (white) mask, load your subject selection, go to the effect mask, and fill with black.

Activate Artboard using selection tool - Not Working in Illustrator CS6

When using Multiple artboards, typically you just need to click within an existing artboard to activate it as the selected artboard. For some reason this function is not working for me suddenly. I can still activate an existing arboard in the artboard panel, but I am working with 40 artboards, and it's much more efficient when it automatically selects the artboard you're working on as the active artboard (for aligning, pasting, etc...). Does anyone have any idea how to remedy this?
Thanks!

How do I use the adjustment brush to mask and not turn my item green?

I have shot some products for my web site. I need completely white backgrounds. I have tried to mask the product and lighten the whites, but when I click done, my product has turned very green.
Why? How do you use the brush? Also, where is the invert to make this easier on me?
Kind of urgent, I need to get these items on my site already.
I know the answer is simple... I just don't know what it is.
Thanks

Have you tried without the adjustment brush, by simply adjusting white balance from the basic tab in develop?
Click on the eye dropper tool and then click on a neutral gray color. Use the background if it is neutral rather than white. You may need to keep selecting the eye dropper to click in a few different places for best results.
If you decide to use the adjustment brush you can show or hide the mask. Uncheck the mask when you have finished painting; then use the sliders, starting with tint and temperature.

How do I hide marching ants in cs6--command H did the job in CS4

The marching ants interfer with my selection work consequently I always hide them with command H but this option does not appear available in CS6. Anybody have a solution?
Thanks, Bob

Mac OSX has moved towards encouraging all applications to adopt a standard keyboard shortcut - Command H - for hiding the application.
If you don't have your "Show Slection" set up with a keyboard shortcut, when you use Cmd H it will ask you if you want it to use it to hide Photoshop (Mac standard) or Hide/Selections, etc. (Photoshop Traditional)
It will do this even if you already have Hide Photoshop shortcut: Command-Control H.
Just go to the Edit Menu - Keyboard Shortcuts to specify a shortcut for Selections Edges.
I believe the language for this has changed slightly in different versions.

Using javascript to hide/enable sections on a dashboard

Hi,
Version - OBIEE 11.1.1.6.1
I am trying to display/hide a section based on the user selecting a value from a radio button(variable prompt). These sections contain reports(which use different filter criteria) and have different prompts .
ie If value A is selected in radio button, prompt C and report D should be visible
if value B is selected in radio button, prompt X and report Y should be visible
I am able to do this by using condition(which uses a hidden analysis) on a section but that refreshes/reloads the report sections even before the corresponding prompts are applied which does not provide a good user experience.
Can this be done by Javascript?
I am able to hide a section through javascript based on radio button selection by calling - saw.dashboard.onToggleSection('<dashboard-section-id>',null);
However I am not able to find a way to enable the other section. Has anyone been able to use JS to hide/unhide a section?
Any suggestions/inputs appreciated
Edited by: layman on Oct 17, 2012 12:55 AM

I really don't see why there would be a need to script wildly when you can easily achieve this with conditional reports which are just listening for the values currently in the radio buttons, return some bogus line and then enabling or disabling sections.
E.g. section condition: ROWCOUNT("DoesTheRadioButtonSayBlaBlaBla") > 0
C.

Why does the revealed image flicker when using the Show/Hide feature?

I started using the Show/Hide Button and Forms function in InDesign CS6 and have had some peculiar things happen. I was mocking up some samples and on the swf version if you hover over the left side of the blue rectangle all is fine but if you move to the right side of the blue rectangle the image starts to flicker. When you hover over the red rectangle the pop-up image just flickers constantly. I guess there must be some issue with having the button for a revealed image under some portion of the revealed image. See: http://www.idugsf.com/_a/FI_BookSamples.html .
The problem went away when the button and the revealed image did not overlap.
This problem didn't occur with another file I had originally created in CS5.
On the pdf version the buttons which are on their own layer behind the revealed image moved to the front in the pdf: http://www.idugsf.com/_a/FI_BookSamples.pdf

Using Javascript to hide objects that have no "binding" tab?

Hello,
I'm attempting to create a form that uses checkboxes to hide a variety of fields. I've run into a problem though; it seems that only text fields have a binding tab (unless I'm missing something). Is there a way for me to do show hides for images and text boxes? When I hold ctrl and hover over these items there is a small circle with a red line through it, which seems to express that it is impossible to manipulate them using javascript.
For the record, I'm using javascript as seen below:
BusinessDBAname.presence = "hidden";
If someone had any definite answers on this I'd really appreciate it.

Hi,
sorry to say that, but this is a really bad form design.
There are a couple of things you can make it better.
1. Give unnamed subforms a suitable naming
2. Use subforms to organise your form
3. Don't embed fonts at all when you only use the default fonts Arial or Myriad Pro
4. Don't select the checkbox to embed images (they will get embedded always but this method requires more space)
5. Set option to prevent script changes in the form to automatically, otherwise the changes wont be saved
Ok, I suggest you to create a set of subforms to represent your Section 1 - 9.
In each subform you then add a subform for business and sole proprietor.
Into those subforms you then put the desired fields, images etc.
This allows you much shorter scriptings because you only have to change the presence of the surrounding subforms to show/hide an entire set of objects.
You form design finally should look something like this.
form1
     Maserpage
     PayeeSetupRequest
          Section1
               Business
                    Textfield1
                    Textfield5
               SoleProprietor
                    Textfield1
                    Textfield3
          Section2
               Business
                    Textfield1
                    Textfield5
               SoleProprietor
                    Textfield1
                    Textfield3
          Section3
Hope this helps.

Can't use selection tool, hand keeps coming up

What is going on, when I go to use selection tool the hand tool is coming up and I can't change or work! What is going on?
Both in Adobe Ilustrator CC and CS6. any one else having this issue.
I am getting behind on a project, help!
thanks so much in advance!

visualsolutions,
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Diff between at line selection and HIDE technique

hi all,
       wht is the diff between at-line-selection and HIDE technique.
        wht r code instructor
        wht is extended testing
        how can we find selected error records in session                          method ex:-if there r errors in 4th 9th 13th record.
tthnx in advance

HIDE
Syntax
HIDE dobj.
Effect
This statement stores - in the current list level - the content of the variable dobj together with the current list line whose line number is contained in sy-linno. The data type of the variables dobj must be flat and no field symbols can be specified that point to rows of internal tables, and no class attributes can be specified. The stored values can be read as follows:
For each user action in a displayed screen list that leads to a list result, all the row values stored using HIDE - that is, the row on which the screen cursor is positioned at the time of the event - are assigned to the respective variables.
If a list row of an arbitrary list level is read or modified using the statements READ LINE or MODIFY LINE, all the values of this row stored using HIDE are assigned to the respective variables.
Notes
The HIDE statement works independently of whether the list cursor was set. In particular, variables for empty list rows can be stored - that is, rows in which the list cursor was positioned using statements like SKIP.
The HIDE statement should be executed immediately at the statement that has set the list cursor in the row.
Outside of classes, constants and literals that cannot be read in list results and in the statement READ LINE can be specified for dobj outside of classes.
Example
Storing square numbers and cubic numbers for a list of numbers. The example shows that arbitrary variables can be stored independently of row content. In the real situation, one would more likely store only the number and execute the calculation, when required, in the the event block for AT LINE-SELECTION.
REPORT ...
DATA: square TYPE i,
      cube   TYPE i.
START-OF-SELECTION.
FORMAT HOTSPOT.
DO 10 TIMES.
    square = sy-index ** 2.
    cube   = sy-index ** 3.
    WRITE / sy-index.
    HIDE: square, cube.
ENDDO.
AT LINE-SELECTION.
WRITE: square, cube.
AT LINE-SELECTION
Syntax
AT LINE-SELECTION.
Effect
This statement defines an event block whose event is triggered by the ABAP runtime environment during the display of a screen list - provided the scren cursor is on a list line and you select a function using the function code PICK. Through the definition of this event block, the standard list status is automatically enhanced in such a way that the function code F2 and, with it, the double-click mouse function is linked up to the function code PICK.
Note
If the function key F2 is linked with a function code different than PICK, each double click will trigger its even, usually AT USER-COMMAND, and not AT LINE-SELECTION.
Example
This program works with the standard list status. A line selection with the left mouse key causes the event AT LINE-SELECTION and creates details lists.
REPORT demo_at_line_selection.
START-OF-SELECTION.
WRITE 'Click me!' COLOR = 5 HOTSPOT.
AT LINE-SELECTION.
WRITE: / 'You clicked list', sy-listi,
         / 'You are on list', sy-lsind.
IF sy-lsind < 20.
    SKIP.
    WRITE: 'More ...' COLOR = 5 HOTSPOT.
ENDIF.
Thanks,

Using selection tool to Cut image into pieces...

Hi all,
I was just experimenting with my Painter image editing software in my computer, and I just thought about an effect that I performed in my Painter software.
Actually, what I did is best show in images attached here. Please use them as a guide to my questions.
In Painter, I used the selection tool to seperate parts of my image as seen in my attached image. I just wonder whether one can do the same thing in after effects too.
Thanks and hope to here your responses to my question.

Ok. Thanks for your great tips as I'll see where I can go from here.

Like Steve said, you'll have to use masks. To keep it clean and predictable, draw all your masks as needed, then duplicate the layer (Ctrl+D). then delete the masks on a given layer that you don't need. What is to become the background with "holes" also will need the mask modes to be set from the default Add to Subtract. Once you have everything, you may wish to use the pan behind tool (Y) to move the layer anchor points into the centers of the masked shapes, so animation becomes a bit more predictable.

How to get all values from an interval using select statement

Hi,
Is it possible to write a select statement that returns all values from an interval? Interval boundaries are variable.
something like this:
select (for x in 1,1024 loop x end loop) from dual
(this, of course, doesn't work)
The result in this example should be 1024 rows of numbers from 1 to 1024. These numbers are parameters, so it is not possible to create a table with predefined values.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Mia.

For your simple case, with a lower boundary of 1, you can use:
SELECT rownum
FROM all_objects
WHERE rownum <= 1024For a set of number between say 50 - 100, you can use something like:
SELECT rownum + (50 - 1)
FROM all_objects
WHERE rownum <= (100 - 50 + 1)Note, that all_objects was used only because it generally has a lot of rows. Any table with at least the number of rows in your range will work.

When using the camera downloader in Adobe Bridge CS6 with Nikon D5200 we are unable to see previews of the photos and it is very slow to download. The issue occurs under a the users rights, but not under admin level. This is a new issue

When using the camera downloader in Adobe Bridge CS6 with Nikon D5200 we are unable to see previews of the photos and it is very slow to download. The issue occurs under a the users rights, but not under admin level. This is a new issue.

Hi Jdentremont,
Lync client gets user photos by first querying the Address Book Web Query (ABWQ) service on the server, which is exposed through the Distribution List Expansion web service. The client receives
the image file and then copies it to the user's cache to avoid downloading the image each time it needs to be displayed. The attribute values returned from the query are also stored in the cached Address Book Service entry for the user. The Address Book Service
deletes all cached images every 24 hours, which means that it can take up to 24 hours for new user images to be updated in the cache on the server.
To troubleshoot your problem, please follow the steps below:
1. Navigate to
“X:\share\1-WebServices-1\ABfiles\000000000\000000000” folder. (ABS file share)
You should see some photo files in this folder as the following screenshot.
2. Delete all the files in this folder.
3. On test PC, delete local cache files.
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
4. Sign-in Lync with the test account.
5. Go back to the ABS file share, check if there is any Photo file in the folder.
Best regards,
Eric
