Watermark Woes

Hi all Experienced and Helpful Captivate Users,
I have tried inserting a semi transparent image into my first
slide and in it's settings, I have set it to remain there for the
remainder of the project. First of all, I would have expected that
image to instantly show in the timeline of every slide. It doesn't.
Weirds me out, but I can deal with it.
What's more of an issue is that if I have a slide with full
motion animation on it, my adorable watermark disappears. It's at
the top of the display order. Am I doing something wrong, or is it
just another idiosynchrasy?
If so, what's the best way to work around it? Just copy and
paste the image on every slide?
Any advice would really be appreciated. I'm going nuts here
in my garage...
Cheers,
spritc.

Hi spritc
As long as you only have just a full motion clip here and
there, why not simply copy the image and paste on just those
slides?
Just a thought... Rick

How do I add a signature/watermark to my pictures without using Digimark?

I want to add my name on my pictures but I don't need to track them or follow them. If someone edits my name out oh well. I just want it for when I put it on the internet or give it to my friends and family.

Continual Mac woes (no question, just a rant)

It's Tuesday, and I am having terrible problems with my Mac. But then, why should Tuesday be different from any other day of the week.
Here is a typical day for me. The computer appears to be working OK. I need to watch a DVD for my work. I turn on DVD player, and put one in. The machine can't read the disc. It clicks and whirls, but the icon does not show up on the desktop. Meanwhile, so distressed is the machine that it freaks out. What was up until now was a fluidly operating machine suddenly reverts back to its old ways (i.e., its ways of two days ago). The hold ups and spinning pinwheels begin to eat of hours of my work day. (Remember the old days when computers made life easier?) The machine becomes sticky, gummy. Oh, I can move the curser and it seems to work for a second but then gets stuck in the dock, which explodes in icons and then freezes for five minutes. Yes. Five minutes.
Would love to use Force Quit, but the cursor is spinning, and nothing is responding. Funny about that old Mac. You can't force quit Force Quit. I guess I need to leave it open all the time.
Of course, FQ usually works on Safari. I have never just "quit" Safari. It always requires Force Quit, otherwise I can't turn off my computer. It stalls shut down.
Now I have a DVD trapped in there and can't get it out. [But I just got an answer from another posting.]
In the old macs, there used to be a pin hole you could stick a needle into ... can't find one on my flatpanel iMac.
I bought my Apple flat panel iMac in August of 2002. Yes, I know that that is a long time to have a computer, but I am not rich nor attached to a corporation that can splurge on computers. The first weekend I had the machine, I had three kernal panics.
Among the other problems I have documented are the following: the dock hiding itself unbidden and other features checking and unchecking themselves (Aug 2002); bus errors connected with OS 9 (Sept); some problems that inspired the tech person (Eric)) to talk me through deleting my user i.d., resulting in the loss of two months worth of e-mail (Thursday, 12 September); Preview problems (September); a bizarre box with an unmovable and undeletable red stop sign in it that no tech person or other Mac user I know had ever hear of (Monday 30 September); printing problems; computer won't shut down, numerous disconnection errors, which turned out to be caused by an OS X update (beginning December, 2002, or later); Kernel panics (Feb); computer won't shut down (March); Faxstexx problems, program won't allow me to set it up, finally just deleted the software (April); keys like "V" freeze and repeat endlessly (May 21); DVD Player freezes (May); Safari and Mail begin quitting unexpectedly (May); cursor begins to blink and fade out, plus odd sounds come out of the speakers, a constant error beeping (Sept 9); DVD Player problems (Oct 4).
I called AppleCare while I had it about once a week (the total between August 2002 and the time it ran out was about 155 calls). Naturally, some of these calls are motivated by user error. On the other hand, many of the issues I have called about were unprecedented as far as the Tech person was concerned, such as the blinking mouse, the red stop sign, and the DVD Player woes.
Things improved with Panther, but in Tiger many of the same old issues have returned.
I have been having so many problems with my Mac that I once wrote a letter to the company asking when do I qualify for a new replacement machine. I never received an answer, but I felt better for about a day. Then I turned on my Mac again.

The spinning ball of death as we used to call it is often caused by a lack of RAM, it is hard to be sure as I am not working on your machine, but sometimes things can be improved with additional RAM, it makes it seem like a whole new computer.
A lot of your problems sound like stuff that can be fixed easily enough, and although frustrating things happen here and there with updates. It sounds like you are in fairly good spirits with it all, I would suggest just researching a bit more into maintenance you can do to help maintain the computer and educate yourself a bit more (sounds like you already have learned quite a bit along the way) and you will find a lot of these issues take you a few seconds to rid yourself of. I would start by making sure you are repairing permissions regularly and running the most up to date software. If a lot of problems persist, try creating a second user that is a "test" user to see if the problem is replicated on that user (don't delete your other one, but if you do find the problem not on the other user, you might have a corrupt user, however you don't have to lose all your emails there are plenty of ways to back it up and import it in, or even just bring the entire Mail folder from your library over to the new user). Another thing you can do if you find a lot of system problems is archive and install the OS, it takes a bit of time, but doing it overnight shouldn't be an issue, and you won't lose any of your stuff.

Trying to create a brush to watermark my photos. HELP!!

So, Im trying to create a brush to watermark my photographs, but the 'define brush preset' isnt clickable, but it is clickable with any other photo i try it with. What am i doing wrong? can someone please help me? It's quite frustrating.

Haw large in Pixels is the image?
And quite frankly I would recommend creating a Path and using »Embed Path« instead of a Brush as Actions that include Paths can be more easily transferred without the risk of forgetting the Brushes.

Condtions on Watermark in RTF template

How to use the conditions on watermark in RTF template.
How to display the Instances names on back ground of the RTF template.If it is DEV instance it should display as "This is DEV Document",if it is TST instance it should display as "This is TST Document".
For this I am using the water mark.I have written the condition on watermark text field.
<?if: INSTANCE_NAME!='PROD'?>This is DEV Document <?end if?>
In the above statement is displaying as 'This is DEV Document' on DEV instance.But if I move the same code into PROD instance it is displaying the same message.(Actually on PROD it should not display the message)
I think this condition is not working.(I think text message is displaying as it is.)
Please any body help/suggest/guide me to resolve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,

check the xml file and see if instance name is populated correctly.
for testing purpose try the reverse way around and print only if the instance_name = 'DEV'

Watermark on display

My son has had his Ipod for about 3 weeks. He swears he did not get it wet but it has a watermark covering 1/3 of the screen. Kind of like an oil goo behind the display. Anybody else experience or hear of this?

No, the only time of heard of anything similar is when somebody dropped theirs in a river. :/
And Apple does not repair 'mistreated' iPods. They only repair manufacturer issues. You could try checking ipodresq.com for repair costs, if you're interested...
Good luck!

How do I keep watermarks and presets ( with their order ) synched between computers

I have a desktop which I use for heavy picture editing and a mac book air that I use for on the fly picture editing to show clients during photo trips.
I want to figure out a way for keeping my watermarks and presets ( with their order and folders I created on my desktop ) synched on my laptop.
What is the best way of doing this? If keeping it synched is not possible, how do you advise importing them to my laptop?
Thanks for the support,
JP Jacobsen

Ps: It is very important that the presets come on the same order and folders I re-arranged them in my desktop.

Text watermark opacity different in print module

In the print module of both lr4.1 & lr3.6 I find that the print module changes the opacity of a text watermark (to less, by about 20-30%) than what it is in the library & develop modules. Is this some kind of operator error or is it a bug (or feature? )in lr? If operator error, how to fix? OS for 3.6 is MacOSX 10.6.8 & for 4.1, 10.7.4. Documentation pointer(s) are quite welcome. Thanks

I could see that being useful too. As it may not make the final release, and we wouldn't want the request to get lost in beta land, might I suggest adding it as a suggestion on the Feature Request forum http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family where it can easily be tracked?

Hii,
Try to add one more field for text field for each line item and make sure use a flag .
if the flag is true then make it visible use the below JavaScript code to hide a particular field.
his script will hide the field in runtime if it is initial.
hidden or presence make sure use the conditions as per the require to hide the text or to make it visible
Enter the below JavaScript in the editor & Select the language as JavaScript.
if(this.rawValue == null)
this.presence = "hidden";

Time delay while printing PO Report with "watermark"

Hi XMLP Gurus,
I have to again resort to you guys for help. Hope I will find it.
I have added a watermark to the PO Report RTF template and it is taking too much time (almost 3 mins) to print the output. With out a print option the report is running normally, but when I select the print option it is taking that much time.
If I take out the watermark and print the output it is taking normal time to print.
Any idea what's going on?
Thanks in advance

Nobody to help on this !!!!!!!

How do make a watermark appear on each page in a word processing document?

I got a watermark to show up on my first page that says in a big font, "Draft copy". How do I go about having this appear on every page? I'm using the word processing mode of Pages.
Thank you.

PS,
Select your watermark and Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master.
If your document already has more than one Sections, you will have to Copy this object and paste it into each Section. Being a "Section Master" mean that it will appear on each page of the section you insert it into.

PDF Watermark - logo image is not displayed in ibr converted pdf

Hi
I have enabled pdf watermark administration and configured image watermark with rule, if the content type is document then the image watermark is to be applied but it is not displayed to the converted word document to pdf by IBR.
If i change image watermark layer to "over", then image watermark is displayed, but word are displayed under the logo image watermark, so it is difficult to study the document.
If the native file is pdf, then its image watermark is working fine.
Thanks
Deepak

Hi ,
I think this could be caused by the following :
Check the factor set for Transparency and if it is completely opaque (Transparency =0%) then the converted PDF's will not show watermarks which has Layer set to UNDER.
To get the watermarks displayed PPT's will need to be set to Transparency = 100% .
The intention of the UNDER watermarking layer is that it should appear"behind" whatever is in the content layer.If the content layer completely covers the page and is opaque, then nothing behind it will be visible,including watermarks.The only reasonable solution is to check the above mentioned value before submitting the PPT's for conversion so that users are aware of this behavior for PPT's
The above description if for PPT's where in this was found to be caused by the transparency factor of native PPT . If it is a word document then check for the same setting and set to 100% , then test .
Hope this helps .
Thanks,
Srinath

Watermarks in Aperture not working for me

I am having an odd problem with Aperture watermarks through the export presets.
When I select "choose image" button after selecting the watermark check box, then select my watermark (which I have tried PSD's, JPEGS, Tiffs with transparent backgrounds, and just about every other format) it does not show up in the little viewer window. The only way that I can get it to show up is to drag my PSD or Tiff files from the finder into the box, where at that time they actually show up.
However, upon changing the Opacity, the watermark that has been dragged into the box from finder promptly disappears. Not good.
When I do not fiddle with the opacity bar and just click OK then try and export, the images come out without any watermark. But all the settings are the same as I left them, just the box is empty, just like when I change the opacity.
I have read about people having problems with aperture 1.5 concerning watermarks, but I am running 2.1.3 and have not run into any people saying that they have problems.
The PSD/tiff files that I am try to import are 5000 pixels long and 500 pixels wide or 10000 long and 1000 high. Big, I know, but I select scales down so it should be no problem, especially when shooting on the 5DII or D3x I can still use these watermarks without having to create new ones just for the bigger guns.
Is this a bug or a problems only I am having?
Should I re-install?
Or just deal with not getting to watermark my images.

Sara,
What happens if you:
1) Select all/any mutually overlapping bone parts and Pathfinder>Unite,
2) Select all the bone parts and Object>Compound Path>Make,
3) Select everything and Object>Clipping Mask>Make?
