What is the best colour to use for a 'Gold' effect (for printing)

I've had a look on the colour tab and (maybe I'm looking too hard!) but I can't find the best shade of yellow to use for a gold effect when printing - anybody got a CMYK or RGB code???
Thanks very much,
Mark

Shunith,
I apologize for the woolly way.
C: 0,
M: 9 (very pale) - 24 or 15 - 24,
Y: 100,
K: 0.
Here is an image quickly made for old thread, showing a slightly slanting gradient from 0/24/100/0 to 0/0/0/0 and back, created with a few intermediate steps to make it steeper in the pale part, to make it more radiant:

  • What's the best flash to use for nighttime sports games?

    What's the best flash to use for nighttime sporting events? I have a rebel XT and I'm pushing it to its limits trying to stop the action. I've tried a speedlite 430 but it didn't have a hook up for an external battery pack and I was told I'd need the extra power. Just tried the 580ex ll on Friday but at the 1/1 setting, it didn't flash for each frame in a burst, even with the external power. I should have backed it down to 1/4 but didn't know at the time. Any thought on a really good flash for night sports? Is the 580 a good choice?

    JUst as Tim_S said. YOu will want a external battery pack. Unforatannly the 430 does not have the option to plug in a external battery pack so will want to pick up a 580 or one of the new 600 series. 
    Then you start looking at the battery packs. I recommend Quantum power packs

  • What is the best software to use for screen capture on a PC for use with FCPX?

    What is the best software to use for screen capture on a PC (windows 7) for use with FCPX? I've tried Camtasia and camstudio however the avi files cannot be imported by FCPX and the mov files produced by these programs are shown as just black screens in FCPX.

    I use to face this issue every now and then (as a freelancer) when I use to cut on FCP7.
    if the material is DV and was captured using Sony VEGAS, Premiere or Edius, the footage generally worked fine. You'll find most people will tell you to convert it regardless, however I found no issues working with them.
    A problem you'll definitely face is HDV material. Most PC editing software write HDV in their own codec, which can't be read in FCP.
    The only thing I can think of is to try converting HDV meaterial to QuickTime using something like MPEG Streamclip, or something similar.
    Good luck

    What is the best program to use on Mac for editing, cropping photos from my computer. Looking for a free program that is good.

    If your needs are limited to those tasks then both Preview and iPhoto will fit the bill They are already on your Mac. There is a free download from Google called Picasa available here:
    http://picasa.google.com/
      It works much the in same manner as iPhoto. For some really heavy duty work there is GIMP available from SourceForge:

    What is the best browser to use for facebook?

    Any browser is supposed to work, provided the rest of the infrastructure (Flash, Java) is up to date.
    However, since FB is so prone to install/modify/alter its settings/cookies/environment, I prefer to keep mine sandboxed and access it only via a dedicated browser used for nothing else, thus minimizing the risk and exposure.  For that, I use the Flock browser, purportedly optimized for social media: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/19719/flock

  • What is the best editor to use for JSP/Servlet?

    Hello,
    What is the best editor to use for JSP/Servlet database development.
    I'm looking at Dreamweaver,Java Studio Creator.
    I want some thing fairly easy to use that has database helper wizards like dreamweaver.
    Thanks for the help.
    Frank

    Is it better to have a servlet do the database work and call it from JSP?No, it's better to have persistence objects do the database work. Servlets handle HTTP requests, and JSPs are HTML factories that should be pure view.
    But there are lots of ways to do things. You just have to understand the tradeoffs when you decide.
    I do not want to hammer out code, I want to learn the
    best way to do things from experienced developers. Sorry, sounded like you just wanted to churn stuff.
    "best way" can be subjective. In one app, "best" might be "delivered fastest". For another, "best" might be "most secure" or "most easily modified" or "best performing" or whatever. You won't get a "best" answer, only different choices. And they aren't always so easy to explain or execute.
    I'd recommend that you start by reading about layered applications (3-tier architectures) and MVC separation. Once you've Googled enough about that, look into a framework like Struts or Spring or WebWork. That'll help you figure out where to put each responsibility in your app.
    I can use dreamweaver to create web apps, but I hate
    the arrays used to define fields. It also seems not
    to take advantage of connection pooling.Don't know what you're talking about here, Frank. What do fields have to do with connection pooling?

  • What is the best format to use on an external hard drive so I can both back up my Macbook Pro and also put movies on it from another hard drive (PC)?

    I am looking for a solution to whether if it is best to get two hard drives or one that can do two things that I want.
    I am looking for a hard drive format that can both back up my 500GB Macbook Pro but I was also wondering if I could also put movies on it from another hard drive that is PC based. Would partitioning the hard drive work for this? I don't know what are the best formats to use.
    If this is too hard it might just be easier having a separate 500GB hard drive for back up of my Mac and another bigger hard drive for the movies etc (the files are probably bigger than 4GB). Any help would be greatly appreciated as I need to make a decision soon!

    Microsoft has not released the official exFAT file system specification, and a restrictive license from Microsoft is required in order to make and distribute exFAT implementations. Microsoft also asserts patents on exFAT which make it impossible to re-implement its functionality in a compatible way without violating a large percentage of them.[13] This renders the implementation, distribution, and use of exFAT as a part of free or open-source operating systems or of commercial software, for which the vendors could not obtain a license from Microsoft, not only technically difficult, but legally impossible in countries that recognize United States software patents.
    Can't help with that, if one is using a Windows machine then they are subjected to their rules and control.
    Limited support outside Windows and Mac OS X operating systems as of 2012, when most consumer electronic devices could only handleFAT12/FAT16/FAT32, rendering exFAT (and flash memory formats using it) impractical as a universal exchange format.
    The OP said they plan to store movies on the external drive.
    Many movies today are well over 4GB in size, thus exFAT has to be used and formatted on the PC, which the Mac can then read.
    Older Windows NT versions up to Windows Vista without Service Pack 1 do not support exFAT.
    Irrelevant, Microsoft provides a free download of exFAT for Windows XP, and Vista shouldn't be running on pre SP1 anyway.
    Some distributions of Linux have begun to include support for exFAT. It is however, only available as a file system in user space, as it's not supported by the kernel.
    Irrelevant, OP is using Windows and OS X, not Linux and if they did Linux can read the files at least and transfer, which is all they care about really.
    Windows Vista is unable to use exFAT drives for ReadyBoost. Windows 7 removes this limitation, enabling ReadyBoost caches larger than 4 GiB.[14]
    Irrelevant, the OP's is intending to use it as transfer drive between Mac's and Windows for movies.
    The standard exFAT implementation only uses a single file allocation table and free space map. FAT file systems instead used alternating tables, as this allowed recovery of the file system if the media was ejected during a write (which occurs frequently in practice with removable media). The optional TexFAT component adds support for additional backup tables and maps, but may not be supported.
    Some relevancy, but only exFAT can handle 4GB+ files between Mac's and PC's, so the need outweighs the possible problem.
    The OP needs to follow the standard Windows practice of "safely removing hardware" before physically disconnecting the external drive. If a write is occurring, it won't allow disconnecting until the write is finished.
    Support for up to 2,796,202 files per subdirectory only.[1][nb 3] Microsoft documents a limit of 65,534 files per sub-directory for their FAT32 implementation, but other operating systems have no special limit for the number of files in a FAT32 directory. FAT32 implementations in other operating systems allow an unlimited number of files up to the number of available clusters (that is, up to 268,304,373 files on volumes without long filenames).[nb 4]
    Not a issue, only in extreme cases of a lot of small files. The OP plans to use it for movies which are usually large and take up a lot of space on the drive.
    IMMO It looks like you just ran off and copied something to argue your point when all the points are basically irrelevant.
    There is only one format that can easily share 4GB sized files between Mac's and PC's without further complications.
    It's ALSO possible to install MacDrive on the PC and format the drive on the Mac HFS+, but I didn't recommend that because I know it's a hassle just like third party NTFS writing software is a hassle on Mac's.
    If you so anti-Microsoft format, then you must know Paragon has to pay a license fee to Microsoft for using the NTFS format.
    At least with exFAT there is no fee to Redmond, at least not yet.

  • What is the best way to set up an external drive for video storage

    What is the best way to set up an external drive for video storage?

    Check the formatting. It need to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). This is also known as HFS+.
    FAT32 and NTFS formatting will not work with iMovie.
    If necessary, you can reformat using Disk Utility.
    Make one large partition. No need for multiple partitions.
    Do moves or copies to the external drive through iMovie as detailed in iMovie Help. If you move Events in the Finder, they may become unlinked from the projects that use them.

  • What is the best way to record a video(not big) for free on a mac w/isight?

    What is the best way to record a video(not big) for free on a mac w/isight? I need to just make a short (less than 5 minute, no special effects) video, but I can't figure out any programs that will make this possible for me.
    Thanks.

    Hi Carolyn,
    you can use iMovie to record a video for free on a Mac with iSight.
    1. Open iMovie HD
    2. Choose “Create a new project”
    3. Name the project for example “iSight Movie” (first field). In the second field, let the default location “Sequences”, in the third one, video format, choose “iSight”. Push “Create”
    4. iMovie window opens, next to the scissors, choose the camera (Camera mode), then iSight. Now you appear on the screen, right?
    5. Press “Record with iSight” in the main picture window.
    6. Press the same button to stop. Your new clip appears now in the clip panel at the right.
    7. You are done!

  • What is the best way to make a list of addresses for envelopes or labels?  Address book, numbers or pages?

    What is the best way to make a list of addresses for envelopes and labels?  Address book, Pages or Numbers?

    I liek your idea of having multiple images in a grid. I think
    that would be the best bet as you mentioned. Having one big picture
    would be hard to distinguish the sub-areas with mouse coordinates.
    I think checking the coordinates for the mouse would be very
    tedious because I would have to check for the left boundary, the
    right, top, and bottom for each sub-area!
    What do you mean by using button components and reskinning.
    Is this simply using buttons and changing the way they look? I'm
    just trying to save time and memory, because if I had a 10 by 10
    grid, thats a hundred buttons. Wouldn't that slow down the machine
    alot? And for that matter wouldn't having a grid of 10 by 10 images
    also by the same deal?
    Thanks for the input, I'm just trying to find the most
    efficient way to do it.

  • What Is The Best Setting To Use To Import Music?Please Help.

    Hi, All
    I have got an 80GB Apple Video iPod And I am still trying to figure out how to work it as I am new to using iPods.
    What is the best setting to use to import CD Music and Music from the Internet to iTunes?? as I would like to listen to the highest quality there is on iTunes and my 80GB Apple Video iPod.
    The settings are: ACC Encoder, AIFF Encoder, Apple Lossless Encoder, MP3 Encoder, WAV Encoder. If you have not got them to hand.
    Many Thanks For Reading This And Replying To It, Much Appreciated!!
    I Hope You All Have a VERY Merry New Year!!
    Kind Regards, Rocky Robin

    There really is no BEST setting. The "best" setting is the one that sounds the best to you.
    Having said that, you also asked what setting provides the highest quality audio. In that case, you need to use a lossless format, such as AIFF, WAV, or Apple Lossless. MP3 and AAC are both compressed formats, and will not provide as good of an audio quality as a lossless format.
    My personal preference would be Apple Lossless, but any of the lossless formats will produce an almost identical quality to the CD track.
    Keep in mind, the files will be quite large.

  • What's the best way to use your iPad instead of textbooks?

    What's the best way to use your iPad instead of textbooks? I'm about to start a BSN program and have heard of using your iPad for textbooks instead of buying and carrying around 8 different books. Is there an app for that? Or do you buy or rent the books? What's the best solution?

    Or, if you're like me and you want to do a lot of heavy reading, use the iPad because the low contrast on a Kindle is extremely fatiguing.  
    Seriously, though "screen glare will cause eye strain" is often taken as an article of faith, there's not a lot of good scientific evidence for it. "Eye strain" can be caused by concentrating on any close work for long periods of time. Looking up and focusing on something distant periodically is very helpful. Older CRT screens that flicker also can be aggravting. I'm not denying that some people find reading backlit screens uncomfortable. However, it's not dangerous. And, then, there are other people who find the higher contrast a backlit screen affords to be much less wearying over long periods of time.
