Using the lasso in spectral editing.

In previous versions I could take the lasso selections and move them past the lower and upper limits of the spectral view -- I could also get the lasso to select everything that fell within it's marque (for example if I want to cut a whole word and move/paste it elsewhere) but in CS 5.5 no matter what I do I can't get the lasso to grab the really low frequencies.
Is there something obvious that I'm missing?

There are many times where words overlap and the only way I can separate them is visually using the spectral edit view (I like the linear display mode best, I have a hard time "reading" the logarithmic modes) -- often times I'll start to say a word and realize I pronounced it wrong or meant to say something else and I can correct myself easily in the flow of speaking while recording... having the ability to surgically cut out and replace the bad word (or stuttering) is a vital part of my audio editing workflow.
It looks like the issue is an "Anti-aliased" and/or "Softened" selection mode on by default with the lasso -- I remember the older version having similar issues early on but I can't remember how I got it work the way I wanted, but I do know that if I made my selection past the bottom edge of the spectral display it would cut all the way down to the lowest frequencies cleanly.
The main reason I can work with Audition so well is the spectral display -- it allows me the ability to work with my wacom tablet and eyes like I do in any graphics application -- and I am much more skilled in that arena than with my ears/waveform view (although for really tough clicks and pops that is often the best solution)
BTW the other thing that is driving me a bit batty is moving the timeline to the top instead of the bottom -- panning/scrolling by just grabbing the timeline was much easier and more intuitive with it at the bottom (as it was previously).
I'm not sure how the phrase those things for a request submission though...

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. The standard answer with all text issues simply is, that you have a "bad font" on your system and need to get rid of it.

Using the Lasso Tool crashing Photoshop CC

Hi,
Looking for some help as to why Photoshop crashes at least once a day, sometimes more when using the basic Lasso Tool.
I'm using Photoshop CC, and it's completely up to date. I'm on Windows 8.1. I'm a freelance illustrator and use the lasso tool when doing all of my artwork. It crashes on any image I'm working, smaller stuff to larger files, from small amount of layers to over 200. I'll use the lasso, typically holding alt to use the polygonal option and I'll notice when clicking to close my shape, photoshop will completely stop working. I'll have to open the task manager and completely end the program. Crashes across the board from CMYK to RGB, in 8 bits.
Looking for some help / ideas. Please let me know if you need any other info, thanks.

Hi Chris,
I've updated the system driver on the wacom, which was released in March. I also tried the mouse and also seems to be up to date. Here's a shot of the task manager when freezes. Does that help at all?
I've just had a freeze 2 minutes ago. I've been waiting for it to happen, hoping the wacom driver might change. Apparently not.

When I use the lasso background turns on the grid

Hi
I am using Photoshop CS5 on MAC. When I use the lasso tool and after closing the selection, background turns automatically on the grid background (white and grey squares) . I cant change it back to grey solid background. Please help in solving this problem.
WJ

I dont want to change that in preferences because the grid background is very useful when I cut out with lasso tool from a photo. I just want to turn off the grid around my photo (red outline)
Thank you

I don’t quite follow your description but if it’s just about the display of transparent areas that can be changed in the Preferences.

Using the Lasso to deselect objects?

In CS5, I tried to use the lasso tool while holding down the alt command to deselect selected items and it does not seem to work? It works to add objects to a selection when I hold down shift though. Does it not work this way?
Thanks.

Perdon, perdon por favor!
There most certainly is a way to have the lasso deselect points. With the lasso active, hold option (alt in Windows, I assume), then encircle the point(s) you wish to deselect. You said you were also holding the command key? Don't.

Who is eligible to use the Labview 8 student edition?

Who is eligible to use the Labview 8 student edition? Can an individual who is not in school or affiliated with a learning institution purchase and register it for the purpose of learning at home?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I still am not sure of the answer to my question about the Student Edition . Maybe it hinges on what the word staff means in this case?
I would interpret "staff" in the most general case. If you are employed by an educational institution, and not student or faculty, your'e probably "staff".
The main restriction on the student edition is in its use. You can only use it for personal educational use and not for research. For research in a lab, you need to get the real LabVIEW. See e.g. point #4 in the FAQ: http://www.ni.com/labviewse/labviewse_faq.htm ).
Still, the educational discounts are great (75% on single copy software: http://www.ni.com/academic/edu_dsct.htm ).

Using the Lasso

hay all! I have a question. I want to change the background
of an image to transparent but leave the person the way it is, then
create a new layer with the same image with the transparent
background and have a drop shadow on the person. My question is,
how can I use the lasso to trace a line around the person. I have
about 15 pics that I have to do the same way? thanks

Edgardo,
In my experience each image presents a different challenge.
So depending
on what I am going to cut out I will use different
techniques. I don't
think there is a quick and dirty way to do what you want.
If there are large areas of color the Magic Wand will quicken
the
process. The Polygon Lasso tool will help you add and remove
selection
sections.
Using Select > Convert Marquee to Path will become your
best friend for
this task. Paths can be changed with ease to fit the figures
better.
But there will be some work involved.
Stephane has a great tutorial at:

When using the lasso tools, how do i disengage from it, in order to adjust it?

When i am in the process of creating a selection, with the lasso tools, I would like to disengage from the tool, briefly to adjust my selection and then to return and continue to make the selection. If i press the space bar, it does disengage; but the hand tool becomes active at the same time. If i click on the options with the tool, to either add or subtract from the selection, as i drag the mouse to do this, i cause the tool to continue to outline, when i would like it to stop. It seems to remind me of when i used to use an old etcher sketcher magnetic drawing toy, from the late 1970's. ( if you are old enough to know what i mean that is)! Does anyone have a solution to this problem.

The magnetic lasso tool is very useful and is suited admirably for selecting tiles or shingles. It is important to set up the tool for the task at hand. In the tool's option bar I start out with Feather=1px, check anti alias, Width=2px, Contrast=3%.
If things don't go well, the first change that I make is to the contrast setting and give it another try. One can back-track by hitting delete on the keyboard, left click to lay down one or more anchor points, then go on to circumnavigate the area to be selected.
Now, after having made a complex selection, going to Layer>new>layer via copy puts the selection on its own layer, with surrounding transparency (checker-board pattern). One can use the eraser tool to tidy up, if required.
I offer this as my workflow. Not infrequently there are several ways to do things in this program.

How can I use the defaults command to edit a sub key in an array of plist?

For example, how could I edit the Name key in the array?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Test</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>IPAddress</key>
<string>xxxx</string>
<key>Name</key>
<string>yyyy</string>
</dict>
</array>
</dict>
</plist>

I realize you are asking specifically about 'defaults', but as they concede in 'man defaults', it may not be the best tool for editing properties in "complex" structures, such as those buried in dicts within arrays, etc.
As an alternative, it looks like in 10.5, '/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy' is now a part of the standard install - 'PlistBuddy' may be more useful for this sort of task.
For example:<pre>
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "set Test:0:Name zzzz" /path/to/file.plist</pre>

Wrong results using the SUM in XPATH- Edit data

I have a problem when try to do a sum operation using the XPATH function on a set of decimal values:
To explain it simple, a Service script(also have tried in BPA) which has a edit data step as below
move '2108.39' to "parm/+listofpay/amt";
move '1330.8' to "parm/+listofpay/amt";
move '189.83' to "parm/+listofpay/amt";
move '4561.12' to "parm/+listofpay/amt";
move '480.55' to "parm/+listofpay/amt";
move "sum(parm/listofpay/amt)" to "parm/totamt";
and the schema is
<schema>
<totamt dataType="number"/>
<listofpay type="list">
<amt dataType="number"/>
</listofpay>
</schema>
When tried to display(calling through a BPA) the parm/totamt i get a result 8670.68999999999 instead of 8670.69
Oracle support says it a problem with rounding, how can we have a rounding problem in addition ?
any suggestions please ?

Hi Manfred!
Our setup is very straight forward. We are using a generic M-Series board to generate the stimulus signal as follows:
Output frequency for x-number of cycles - measure gain/phase response.
To sample the response, we are using an S-Series board. All of it is done using DAQmx drivers, which again, I don't think makes any difference, since we are experiencing the same problems with a 'pure' software simulation.
Our unit under test is comprised of a resistor and a capacitor, which represents a simple low pass filter with predictable gain/phase response.
It appears to us that the erratic phase response at higher frequencies is a result of 1pi versus 2pi phase wrap or flip, which may not be handled correctly by the lock-in tool kit.
We were thinking of "unwrapping" the phase, but I wanted to find an explanation for this behaviour first, to ensure that we are not dealing with a software bug.
Also, where can we find the unwrap phase.vi?
Thanks,
Markus

Hot to use the data grid to edit column objects

I have a simple object type:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TIMESLICE AS OBJECT
SINCE TIMESTAMP (6),
UNTIL TIMESTAMP (6)
And a simple table with one column containing objects of this type:
CREATE TABLE TABLE1
COLUMN1 TIMESLICE
I can insert into the table:
INSERT INTO SLICES VALUES (timeslice (NULL, NULL));
But when I try to use the data grid and write there the same string "timeslice (NULL, NULL)" as value I get the following error during commit:
One error saving changes to table "TABLE1":
Row 1: ORA-06550: line 1, column 55:
PL/SQL: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected UDT got CHAR
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
The data grid interprets the value as characters instead of an expression.
How do I have to enter the object in the data grid?

Is it possible to access the cache datasource inside the script component which is available in the same data flow task??
Thanks in advance,

Windows 7 X64bit 3.6 quad core duo, 12gb ram, ssd for system, Gigabyte MBO GA-X58A-UD3R, on board sound, Would a separate sound card cure the problem?
Any help would be very much appreciated, Breezley

Try updating graphics drivers, network drivers and sound drivers...
If that doesn't work...
Some reasearch brought me to this...
http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/120778-dep-enable-disable.html
It should be about the same in Windows 7... Just make sure you have an adequate virus scanner and that you use it.
If you try it, then report back here and let us know if it works...

I am using the Oracle 10g express edition

Is it possible to connect using a Java program? If so, what connect string should I be using?

Hi,
This is with reference to connecting to Oracle Database XE using a java-based program (for example NetBeans).
Step 1: Add a CLASSPATH
/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/client/jdbc/libs/
Step 2: Add ojdbc14.jar to the directory of your project.
Step 3: Import Java SQL and Oracle JDBC Driver.
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource;
Step 4: Create an OracleDataSource using your username and password. The connection string should look similar to the below mentioned.
public Connection getConnection()
throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException {
OracleDataSource myds = new OracleDataSource();
myds.setUser("username");
myds.setPassword("pasword");
myds.setURL("jdbc:oracle:thin:@your.server:1521/xe");
Connection conn = myds.getConnection();
return conn;
Step 5: Create a sample data table. The set of statements should look similar to the below mentioned.
public void createTable(Connection conn) throws SQLException {
Statement stmt = null;
String query;
try {
query = "CREATE TABLE tutorials title VARCHAR2(70), author VARCHAR2(40),
ref_number NUMBER(7,0) CONTRAINT pk_tutorials PRIMARY KEY,
submit_date DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE";
stmt = conn.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate(query);
finally {
if(stmt != null){
stmt.close();
Should this solve your problem, kindly mark the thread as answered.
Regards,
Naveed.
