  • Bevel and emboss not smooth

    I am having issues using the bevel and emboss layer styles on my text. I am getting a stair stepping almost banding look on the bevel. It does this with any setting. Very noticable using the chisel  hard setting. It almost looks like lines are in the bevel. What could be causing this?  Thanks for any help

    What could be causing this?
    Normal behavior - because it's pixel-based, it uses thresholds to determine which semi-transparent pixels get "extruded" and which ones not, ultimately reflecting those pixel patterns in the final result. It's a limitation in most such effects and any additional operation that introduces more semi-transparent pixels intensifies the problem (such as 3D layers with filtering). Some tools like RevisionFX' Shade/Shape use additional code to reconstruct the edges and do a better job. Anyway, based on your image, even that may not be good enough. You are simply pushing too far IMO. What you seem to want would really be done much better with proper 3D geometry. If you can't and don't want to spend money on a plug-in, your best bet is to create a pre-comp with teh type as large as possible, apply the bevel, then scale it back in your main comp. When scaling down, at least a part of the streaks will be interpolated and thus the result look smoother...

  • Text  bevel and emboss?  HELPPPPPP!

    Hi there everyone...
    I have a photo of a clock ...
    http://s409.photobucket.com/albums/pp175/Studentiermegs/?action=view&current=DSC_0679.jpg
    and what I want to do is put some text onto the face, so it looks as though it is part of the clock... so like if I took a tool and carved into the back of the face and whatever I had carved appeared raised on the front. Hope that makes sence!
    Have tried bevel and emboss and pattern maker to try and get the surface of the clock, but looks terrible so I must be doing something wrong, if I have the right idea at all!
    Help!
    Thanks

    In your case the perspective will kill you. More or less I think you are not looking for a straightforward bevel and emboss at all, but rather a way to create the illusion of the stamped faces catching light. Even if you flatten bevel&emboss before transforming it, it will look goofy. Therefore I would recommend to create this in multiple layers. I suppose you should only create the shadowed areas using bevel&emboss on a white layer, then transform that and use multiply blendmode. Likewise, for the base you'd only use a slightly tinted version and use a blendmode. After that, I'd use Find Edges on a duplicate, remove all unwanted lines, blur it and place it on top to create the soft curvature you have on embossed plates. Might take some experimentation, but certainly will ook more "real" than a layer style only.

  • Convert Bevel and Emboss Effect into Separate Layers

    I was following a tutorial for making paint drips at http://www.planetphotoshop.com/dripping-color.html.
    I am not sure which version of Photoshop was being used in the video. Maybe CS3 or 4? It looks like the video was created in 2008? Towards the end of tutorial (about the last 1/4), he converts the Bevel and Emboss effect into separate layers in order to delete the effect from the top and sides of the image. I can't seem to locate the "Create Layers" option when I control+mouse click on the layer. Is the "Create Layers" listed some place else or is there another way to remove the Bevel and Emboss effects from the top and sides only?

    Layer > Layer Style > Create Layers
    Which version do you work with?

  • Photoshop text + bevel and emboss on TRANSPARENT background?

    I've created my Photoshop title images with text + bevel and emboss, on a transparent background.
    I've Rasterized the type and I've merged down leaving the transparent background (not flattened) then saved as .psd or .tif (with layers).
    When I import into FCP I either get the text WITH bevel and emboss, on a WHITE background or text WITHOUT bevel and emboss, on a TRANSPARENT background.
    Strange thing is, I've imported Photoshop images with transparent backgrounds into FCP several times before and although I can't say I've never had problems, I've always managed to work it out quite easily. Not this time, I'm baffled and seriously considering getting cross!

    Hello,
    I have tried the Ken Stone method (thank God for that guy...) but I am loosing my drop shadow and bevel effects on the text once the file is imported in FCP.. I used the NTSC preset with Transparent background in Photoshop. What am I missing? I have looked around in this forum and can't find a clear answer!!
    Any thoughts??

  • Bevel and emboss

    so, after much research, i finally found out that you cannot create a bevel and emboss look like in photoshop. so i have created a very 'flat' looking logo in ai, but i want to add bevel and emboss layer effects. how does everyone else do this? i need the effects and the flexibility of a vector graphic. also, i have different layers in my ai file, and i need them to remain as layers when i open in photoshop.

    nope, not even close to what i can achieve in ps. i've accepted the fact that there is no way to replicate the ps bevel and emboss in ai. that's fine with me. i just want to know what other graphic designers to do work around it. i can't imagine rasterizing the file at different sizes, then applying the effects in ps. or do you rasterize the file at a huge size then apply the effects in ps, then scale it down if need-be? either way, it sounds very 'clumsy.'

  • "bevel and emboss" in AI?

    hi,
    i have a logo:
    http://wtf2.myfonts.com/uploads/images/81/8125584acfd1f91a596bb5c0b19daf09.98563.jpeg
    abd have the permission to use it, but they dont have an vector format of it :S
    so i'm trying it at my self...
    i have the right font, and used the "bevel and emboss" in pgotoshop. its nearly what i need, only other colors, and the horizontal parts had to keep going straight, now the vertical line "breaks" it:
    http://www.volgensbartjes.nl/musketiersPS.jpg
    but the fact is, that i actualy want to make him in illustrator, but i cant find he right tools there. i have tryed:
    http://www.volgensbartjes.nl/musketiersAI.jpg , but a you see, he makes the right part of each sword part of the R well, but he makes the left part of each zword part bigger :S
    does anyone haveing a good idea how i could make this in illustrator, like how he is in photoshop, but than with the good horizontal parts, like the original?
    thanks...
    Bart
    ps, this is not commercial, its for a amature musical group...
    ps, if you speak dutch, please answer in dutch, thats easyer for me ;)

    no, i post this in illustrator becouse i realy wanna do it in illustrator, i need to be able to move points later, so i can make parts longer as in the original is, and i also want to use the "sword font" later in other thingd, zo if its not a vector than anymore, i can never change anything anymore as its in photoshop....
    i have also tryed to cut one part of the R, and give it the fiter as shown in the 3rd picture, but it keeps making strange things outside the part, while ive choosen for inside....
    so if anyone knows an solution for illustrator? i really wanna know ;)

  • 0.41GB of my iPod Touh 4G' is taken up by something called 'Others'. What are 'Others' and can they be deleted or are they an essential part of the iPod and embedded in it? If not essential how do I go about deleting it to enable me to add other pictures

    0.41GB of my iPod Touch 4G's capacity is taken up by something callked 'Others'. What are 'Others' and will it be o.k to delete them? If so how do I go about doing it as there is no trace of a file on either iTunes or my iPod?

    Other content is typically miscellaneous data used by applications you have installed - could be save data (e.g. for games), or documents you've created. There's no easy way to determine precisely what it is, but the only way to clear it is to either delete it from within the respective application, or remove the associated application altogether - neither of which are typically practical.

  • What are ROWID and ROWNUM? Are they stored in database and where?

    Hi All,
    can anybody please answer this question
    What are ROWID and ROWNUM? Are they stored in database and where?
    Thanks,
    Srini

    ROWID can be thought of as a pointer to the physical location (on disk) of the (table) row.
    From a ROWID value, Oracle can extract the file, block-within-that-file and offset-of-the-row-within-that-block. Using these, Oracle can directly access a disk block to retrieve a row.
    ROWNUM is a just sequence number of a row within a result set of a query.
    As said by other repliers, both are not stored. They are 'constructed' when you reference them inside a query.

  • What are high and low values in sharepoint 2013 user permissions?

    So I hit this api:
    http://win-a3q7ml82p8f/sharepoint_site/_api/web/roledefinitions/
    And got the different high and low values. But I am not clear with what they mean:
    For eg:
    High: 176, Low: 138612833
    and
    High: 176, Low: 138612801
    So for different values of Low how does it change the permissions?
    For 176 its binary is 10110000. So looking at this table here: http://www.dctmcontent.com/sharepoint/Articles/Permissions%20and%20Mask%20Values.aspx
    I can understand that 176 would mean the following set of permissions:
    DeleteVersions
    OpenItems
    ApproveItems
    But what's confusing me is, that user has OpenItems permissions but not ViewListItems permission? Am I wrong in understanding this?
    Also how does the value of Low change the overall user permissions?
    Note: I looked at this answer: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/9d6df168-e8f5-4323-8c34-0646c03eff68/rest-api-what-are-high-and-low-in-effectivebasepermissions-and-getusereffectivepermissions?forum=sharepointdevelopment

  • Satellite A100-153: What are verical and horizontal refresh rates for my display

    How can I found out what are verical and horizontal refresh rates for my display?

    Hi
    Do you mean the vertical and horizontal display resolution???
    Anyway all informations should be listed in the user manual.
    I dont know exactly what appendix is it but it must be placed somewhere at the end of the user manual.
    Such infos are listed also in my user manual which was delivered and preinstalled on my Satellite notebook.

  • What are valid and invalid email address characters

    What are valid and invalid email address characters in Exchange 2010, for example can you have Conan.O'[email protected] is there a document that shows the valid and invalid sysmbols?

    Hi
        The format of email addresses is
    local-part@domain where the local-part may be up to 64 characters long and the
    domain name may have a
    maximum of 253 characters - but the maximum 256 characters length of a forward or reverse path restricts the entire email address to be no more than 254 characters.<sup id="cite_ref-0">[1]</sup>
    The formal definitions are in RFC 5322 (sections 3.2.3
    and 3.4.1) and RFC 5321 - with a more readable form given in
    the informational RFC 3696<sup id="cite_ref-1">[2]</sup>
    and the associated errata.
    Local part
    The local-part of the email address may use any of these
    ASCII characters
    RFC 5322 Section
    3.2.3:
    Uppercase and lowercase English letters (a–z, A–Z) (ASCII: 65-90, 97-122)
    Digits
    0 to
    9 (ASCII: 48-57)
    Characters
    !#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{|}~ (ASCII: 33, 35-39, 42, 43, 45, 47, 61, 63, 94-96, 123-126)
    Character
    . (dot, period, full stop) (ASCII: 46) provided that it is not the first or last character, and
    provided also that it does not appear two or more times consecutively (e.g. [email protected] is not allowed.).
    Special characters are allowed with restrictions. They are:
    o   
    Space and
    "(),:;<>@[\] (ASCII: 32, 34, 40, 41, 44, 58, 59, 60, 62, 64, 91-93)
    The restrictions for special characters are that they must only be used when contained between quotation marks, and that 3 of them (The
    space, backslash \ and
    quotation mark " (ASCII: 32, 92, 34)) must also be preceded by a backslash
    \ (e.g.
    A quoted string may exist as a dot separated entity within the local-part, or it may exist when the outermost quotes are the outermost characters of the local-part
    (e.g. abc."defghi"[email protected] or
    "abcdefghixyz"@example.com are allowed. Conversely,
    abc"defghi"[email protected] is not; neither is
    abc\"def\"[email protected]). Quoted strings and characters however, are not commonly used.
    RFC 5321 also
    warns that "a host that expects to receive mail SHOULD avoid defining mailboxes where the Local-part requires (or uses) the Quoted-string form".
    The local-part "postmaster" is treated specially - it is case-insensitive, and should be forwarded to the server's administrator. Technically all other local-parts
    are case sensitive, therefore [email protected] and [email protected] specify different mailboxes. However most organizations treat uppercase and lowercase letters as equivalent, and also do not allow use of the technically valid characters
    (space, ? and ^). Organizations are free to restrict the forms of their own email addresses as desired, e.g.,
    Windows Live Hotmail,
    for example, only allows creation of email addresses using alphanumerics, dot (.), underscore (_)
    and hyphen (-).<sup id="cite_ref-2">[3]</sup>
    Systems that send mail must be capable of handling outgoing mail for all valid addresses. Contrary to the relevant standards, some defective systems treat certain
    legitimate addresses as invalid and fail to handle mail to these addresses. Hotmail, for example, refuses to send mail to any address containing any of the following standards-permissible characters:
    !#$%*/?^`{|}~
    Domain part
    The domain name part of an email address has to conform to strict guidelines: it must match the requirements for a
    hostname,
    consisting of letters, digits, hyphens and dots. In addition, the domain part may be an
    IP address
    literal, surrounded by square braces, such as jsmith@[192.168.2.1], although this is rarely seen except
    in email spam.
    Examples
    Valid email addresses
    <tt>[email protected]</tt>
    <tt>[email protected]</tt>
    <tt>[email protected]</tt>
    <tt>much."more\ unusual"@example.com</tt>
    <tt>very.unusual."@"[email protected]</tt>
    <tt>very."(),:;<>[]".VERY."very@\\\ \"very"[email protected]</tt>
    Invalid email addresses
    <tt>Abc.example.com</tt> (an @ character must separate the local and domain parts)
    <tt>[email protected]</tt> (character dot(.) is last in local part)
    <tt>[email protected]</tt> (character dot(.) is double)
    <tt>A@b@[email protected]</tt> (only one @ is allowed outside quotation marks)
    <tt>a"b(c)d,e:f;g<h>i[j\k][email protected]</tt> (none of the special characters in this local part
    is allowed outside quotation marks)
    <tt>just"not"[email protected]</tt> (quoted strings must be dot separated, or the only element making
    up the local-part)
    <tt>this is"not\[email protected]</tt> (spaces, quotes, and backslashes may only exist when within
    quoted strings and preceded by a slash)
    <tt>this\ still\"not\\[email protected]</tt> (even if escaped (preceded by a backslash), spaces, quotes,
    and backslashes must still be contained by quotes)

  • What are advantage and disadvantage for Physical Standy and Logical Standby

    HI,
    What are advantage and disadvantage for Physical Standy and Logical Standby configuration?
    Thanks
    Ken

    Logical standby database
    The key advantage for logical standby databases is that they're opened read/write, even while they're in
    applied mode. That is, they can be used to generate reports and the like. It is indeed a fully functional
    database. Also, additional indexes, materialized views and so on can be created.
    However (this being a disadvantage) not all datatypes are supported.
    Oracle (or more exactly the log apply services) uses the primary database's redo log, transforms them into
    SQL statements and replays them on the logical standby database.
    Physical standby database
    A physical standby database is a byte for byte exact copy of the primary database. This also means that
    rowids stay the same in a physical standby database environment.
    Oracle (or more exactly the log apply services) uses the primary database's redo log to recover the
    physical database.
    A physical standby database might be opened read only; however, the received logs are in this case not
    applied. When the logs are applied, the database is not accessible (it is then in a managed recovery state).

  • What are Before and After Images ?

    Hello Masters,
    Best wishes to all.
    For the past one week I've learnt many concepts from SDN, got all my doubts clarified.
    On the same roll, I have one more question
    What are Before and After Images ?
    Where do we come across these terms ?
    Could you please explain with an example ?
    I always thank my replies in points 
    Thanks in advance...

    <b>Hai</b>....
    <u><b>Before and After Images:</b></u>
    This Term is Used in the " Change Log "....
    Change Log is one of the Table used in ODS....
    That means the Changes in Running Request in ODS....
    Example:
    If you Enter the Request to " New Table" after activation the Request will be Deleted From the Table, You can see that in Change log......
