What is the benefit of using clipping paths for a knock out?

I found a posting saying they need someone to knock out the background of a lot of images using clipping paths. My question is, WHY use a clipping path? I know the rule of not using a selection tool such as the Magic Wand and then turning it into a clipping path and I know why that is. But if all is needed is for the background to be knocked out, why can't we just use the selection tool in the first place and just knock out the background from there? What is the benefit of that clipping mask?

Usually the term Clipping Path refers to turning a path into a clipping path (in the paths panel) for use in older programs such as PageMaker that don't support transparency.
For example if one wanted to import a file into PageMaker and only have a certain part of the document visible, one would make a path (or selection) around the object
and turn the path (or selection) into a clipping path. Sorta the same results you see in photoshop using a layer mask or vector mask.
Also clipping paths are used in certain printing workflows.
Without seeing the posting it's hard to say what they meant and in photoshop 6 vector masks were labeled as Layer Clipping Paths not to be confused with real clipping paths.
Old versions of photoshop also used the term Group With Previous to denote Create Clipping Mask.

Anyway clipping masks and clipping paths are two different things in photoshop.

What is the benefit of using managed paths?

Why not just put everything under /sites? What is the value in organizing sites under managed paths - aprt from it looking nice what other benefits does it bring? For one thing organizations change their structures sometimes drastically and surely admins
don't want the added burden of users not wanting their team site under a certain path anymore etc. Unless it brings some other value I'm struggling to see the point - can anyone enlighten me?
Cheers
Jonj

Hi Jonj,
Managed path is path for your site collection.It is defining the path for sharepoint items within the sitecollection.Without this a sharepoint site collection would not e able to recognize any item inside the site.Please read the more from
Use of Managed Path . This will clarify your doubt related to managed path use.

What is the benefit of Using Data Adaptor

Hello
I wonder that What is the benefit of Using Data Adaptor ? I don't know TopLink Technology , inorder to using Data Adaptor I should know toplink but what is the advatages of using BPEL database adaptors in conditions thet I can make webservices by making plsql web services or exposing ADF application modules more easier?
I think that if I use Data Adaptor (based of Toplink) I can use JTA feature for transaction managment , am I thinking Correct?
for example I can invoke to webservice A and the B in BPEL process with two DB adaptores (by global transaction ) such that if A failes the process automatically roles back the B transaction without need that I manauly compensate the undo process
please help me ?

Thank you for your very useful comments about DB adapter
I tried again and I have Successfully deploy and test my DB adapter with using # for parameter.
But I have another question : We have ADF Application that using ADF bc for user data entry supporting in use case scenario , but we want to call web services (eg BPEL) in save operation instead of ADF application modules Normal commit !
If we want using Data adapter for persist the Data that user entered by UI , we must write a lot of Insert or Update statements in DB adapter because of lot of database entities.
How can we shorten this production scenario in our Project?

What is the benefit of using J2EE for webservices?

(I posted this on google news group, but no one answer, sorry for the cross post)
This maybe obvious to some of you, but after I went over the
webservices tutorial from Sun, about XML RPC and JAXM, I don't know
what is the benefit of using webservices within J2EE container.
Please tell me about it.
My assumption is that RPC and JAXM both enables the communication, but
the managing of session, persistent, thread pool, connection pool,
database, etc, are all handled by the container. Well, I still hope
my assumption is true. However, from what I read, the tutorial does
not even mention the word beans. So, how to get a beans to talk the
JAXM language so that I can get all of the above features? Or am I totally off track here? if an enterprise bean is not needed, then how to get all the above benefits that the J2EE offers?
By the way, does Sun's RPC and JAXM has things such as quality of
service (such as request time out). They mention guarantee delivery,
but if a reply to my query come 5 minutes later versus instantly, then
I probably lost a customer already. RPC also has big limitation, Corba has asynchronous request, but Sun's RPC does not.
Thank you in advance for all comments and help.

Basic communication aside, J2EE is mostly a synchronous run-time environment. When asynchrony is introduced, a whole new set of infrastructure requirements is needed to support QoS and commercial-quality implementations. In other words, it's not just about API anymore, it's about reliable communication, exception handling, time outs, etc. You may want to look at this Q&A to see some of the benefits provided by J2EE as underlying run-time for orchestration:

What's the benefit of using Essbase?

What's the benefit of using Essbase instead of the OLAP option built in Oracle? Performance reason?
But Essbase is so huge and we just use a bit of its functionalities...

I hope you're comparing Essbase & Oracle OLAP.
Go through the Vlamis' presentation in 2008 at: http://www.vlamis.com/Papers/collab2008-presentation2.pdf
Both were compared under various heads like- Logical Structure, Data Storage, Dimensional Model, Loading Data, Aggregation, Allocation, Calculations, Scalability, Writeback Handling, Security, Administration, Access to Data etc.,

What is the benefit in using OID for names resolution?

I have been wondering about this for awhile. I have been working on getting this to work in Iplanet along with Pat Lehane ([email protected]), and it works now.
What are the benefits in using OID for names resolution when you can just use the static tnsnames.ora. Database and database names are not created dynamically and they don't change that often. Would creates a new database every day and has to worry about changing the static tnsnames.ora file. In my environment, we run Oracle applications from a server, so there is only one tnsnames.ora file, on the file server.
It would appear that using OID would cause extra traffic (LDAP lookups) on your network.
I would like some opinions from both Oracle and Oracle users. Thanks

hi,
A benefit of using OID for names resolution is that it allows you to centralize net8 naming (i.e., tnsnames) information in the same place (OID) where other types of administrative information (about users, enterprise groups, enterprise roles, etc) gets stored. If you are more comfortable using tnsnames.ora files for net8 naming, that is perfectly fine!
An important reason that Oracle had for providing Net8 naming functionality in OID is that the legacy 'Oracle Names' functionality of Oracle 7 will eventually be desupported. This is discussed in metalink Note #135696.1 on http://metalink.oracle.com .
Hope this helps.

What is the benefit of using POE than AC Power?

Hi,
We are currently research on what is the benefit of POE over AC Power for wireless AP.
Most of AP we are using is 1252 and 1142.
Anyone can tell the different?

Hi,
Try to plan to install both scenarios and you'll know the difference yourself.
Besides what Leo mentioned, imagine that you are going to use AC power and for every AP you are going to install a power outlet close to the AP to power it up.
Now, if later you decided to change the AP location you need to install a new power outlet in the new place. The old power outlet is usually left wihtout use. extra cabling, extra waste of resources (materials, man power...etc).

What is the benefit of using Firefox over Safari?

I am a long time PC user who just ran through her 5th laptop, 1 toshiba, 2 panasonics, and 2 dells. Finally decided to buy my first Apple product, MacBook Pro. Purchased yesterday and trying to learn the new system. My question is, what is 'wrong' with Safari? In other words, what is the benefit of downloading FireFox for the Mac? thanks!

I DID use Firefox on my PC.....very superior to Explorer. But since I have never used an Apple product before purchasing this MacBookPro yesterday, I have no idea what the Apple (Safari) browser is like. I don't have to bother getting used to Safari if the Firefox for Mac is a better product.

HT201342 what is the benefit to using @icloud for email

Just wondering what the benefit is to using @icloud.com vs @me.com?

None, really. It's just an additional address that you can use if you want. Email sent to either address arrives in the same inbox. Apple is no longer providing @me or @mac email addresses, and is transitioning to @icloud going forward so they're giving existing iCloud users the new address as an option.

What is the "Auto adjust White Clip" slider for?

The Aperture manual says:
Auto adjust White Clip slider: Use the “Auto adjust White Clip” slider and value slider to add tolerance to Auto Levels adjustments when evaluating colors beyond white.
But I don't know what they mean with "add tolerance". What is it intended to do?

"Auto Levels" analyses your Image and applies a Levels adjustment based on a preset algorithm (similar to "Auto-enhance" in iPhoto, for example). The Auto adjust White Clip slider allows you to set what percentage of pixels will be set to full-luminance. (Hover your cursor over the slider for a ToolTip.)
This is very easy to see in practice. Select an Image with no adjustments applied, and duplicate it. Then with the Auto adjust White Clip slider set to the left, click "Auto" in the Levels Brick. Select the other Image, change the slider all the way to the right, and "Auto-Levels" that Image. Compare the two. Be sure to compare the histograms in the Levels Bricks: this shows you mathematically what the difference is.

What is the advantage of using DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged for databinding winform c#

first see my code
public class Car : INotifyPropertyChanged
private string _make;
private string _model;
private int _year;
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
public Car(string make, string model, int year)
_make = make;
_model = model;
_year = year;
public string Make
get { return _make; }
set
_make = value;
this.NotifyPropertyChanged("Make");
public string Model
get { return _model; }
set
_model = value;
this.NotifyPropertyChanged("Model");
public int Year
get { return _year; }
set
_year = value;
this.NotifyPropertyChanged("Year");
private void NotifyPropertyChanged(string name)
if (PropertyChanged != null)
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(name));
this way i am binding
public partial class Form1 : Form
public Form1()
InitializeComponent();
BindingList<Car> ol;
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
Car carTest = new Car("Ford", "Mustang", 1967);
ol = new BindingList<Car>();
ol.Add(carTest);
this.textBox1.DataBindings.Add("Text", ol, "Make", true, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged);
this.textBox2.DataBindings.Add("Text", ol, "Make", true, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged);
this.textBox3.DataBindings.Add("Text", ol, "Make");
dataGridView1.DataSource = ol;
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
ol.Where(d => d.Make == "Ford").First().Make = "My Ford000";
i use DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged for one textbox and did not use for other textbox
           this.textBox2.DataBindings.Add("Text", ol, "Make", true, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged);
            this.textBox3.DataBindings.Add("Text", ol, "Make");
when change value in one textbox the change is reflected in other textbox too without using
DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged so just do not understand the advantage of
DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged
even when change data in data source by the below way then change is also reflected in all textboxes.
ol.Where(d => d.Make == "Ford").First().Make = "My Ford000";
please help me to understand right usage of DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged
like when and where to use.
thanks

Hi Mou_kolkata,
>> please help me to understand right usage of DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged like when and where to use.
In my option, when the binding is first established, the specified property of the data source object is copied to the specified property of the host object. Thereafter, the specified properties of the objects can be updated either automatically or manually.
DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged specifies the data source object is to be updated whenever the host object publishes a property changed event for the bound property. You could use the code below when you want the datasouce object to be updated automatically.
this.textBox1.DataBindings.Add("Text", ol, "Make", true, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged);

What is the benefit of using BC4J?

Folks,
After working with BC4J for three months, I still can not convince my manager to use BC4J. His major arguments are:
1. Which applications or web sites are implemented using BC4J? Are they real application or just a demo. For the time being, I even can not show him a demo, not to say any real web applications.
2. His developers told him that the O-R mapping provided by BC4J, which is probabably one of the key benefit of BC4J can be easily coded manually with a couple of days work for the current task and we have the full control over our own code while BC4J is not an open source and the lack of the support from Oracle really worries him.
Can someone in Jdev team give me a clear evidence to convince him?
Thanks,
Yibing

[*]With regard to struts integration with BC4J, I have done some investigations of the new release and know that BC4JActionForm is only good for simple view and does not work for a joint table view as I have reported a few days ago in this group and no response is received yet.
This should not be the case. Should work for any view object. View objects can contain join queries with any number of updateable tables in them. Please email me the URL to the forum posting so I can track down the issue.
[*]I have been recently told indirectly from Oracle that the consulting group at oracle are not using BC4J and instead they think that BC4J only applies to simple applications with limited number of tables and relationships.
This is plain incorrect. We have very large applications using BC4J both internal in Oracle Applications, for Oracle iLearning, and many external customers. Many of these projects have involved (and are currently involving) Oracle Consulting. Not sure where got this information, but it is incorrect.
[*]Other commecial O-R mapping products such as top-link should be used for large applications
The key difference between Oracle9i TopLink and Oracle9i BC4J has nothing to do with the size of your project. The fundamental difference is that toplink is for customers who have already written a custom application framework and who require just a persistence architecture, because they've already hand-written code to implement all of the other J2EE design patterns that are required to build real J2EE applications.
Conversely, BC4J is for customers who want a complete J2EE Application Framework (and tightly integrated, award-winning toolset to go with it) to avoid having to write, test, debug, and maintain their own application framework.
There is simply no evidence to backup your statement that BC4J only works for small applications. I am aware of at least 20 (and by now after a summer full of training additional Oracle Apps development teams in BC4J, perhaps over 30) that are using BC4J for full-scale, self-service J2EE web applications. Our BC4J reference info pages (link in this thread above) have references to customers who are using BC4J for large applications as well.

What is the benefit of using Muse over using a web template and managing it with e.g. Joomla?

I use templates as a start for creating websites, I add my own design, manage it with Joomla and have a company to host it. I have a CC licence so am able to use Muse, but why would I need to. How does it help make my life easier, reduce time to create a website etc? Just interested to hear the pros and cons.

HT4905 what is the HDD capacity used in a new macbook air out of the box?

I tried migration assitant to transfer data from my old macbook air through wifi to my just purchased new macbook air and it took 3 days yet still not done. I finally aborted it. But the MacHDD system disk shows 20GB is still in use. I don't know if some of the aborted old migration data still occupy the disk. Thus this question.

Yes, Migration Assistant successfuly copied files and aborting didn't erase them. As you've learned, WiFi is not the best way to migrate. I assume you are migrating from computer to computer. You could connect the two with an Ethernet cable and that will be a lot faster. If you are using TimeCapsule as your source you can also connect the computer to it with an Ethernet cable.
