Whats the best method to cut out hair?

Im using photoshop Cs4 - whats the best method to cut out hair from a background?

I just had to do a quick search, because I was not sure when the Refine Edge was introduced, but it appears you do have it in CS4. Check out this tutorial, but ignore all the stuff about paths. Make a rough selection with Quick select - it shares a location on the tool bar with the Magic Wand, so don't confuse the two.
Having made the rough selection, open Refine Edge. I remember it took me a while to get the hang of it, but tutorials will help

The above tutorial deals specifically with CS4. This next one is probably the best real world use of Refine Edge I've seen, because it uses a difficult subject (as opposed to the easy selections so many tutorials fob you off with)

Whats the best method to deploy sccm 2012 client

Hello what is the best method to deploy SCCM 2012 client, is there a script that should be used as sometimes the client push fails. In particular pushing the client to server 03 /08/12 types.
Thankyou

Ultimately, the best method is whatever works for you. Every environment is different and has unique constraints and requirements. You first need to learn out each of the methods and what they do to be able to properly evaluate which will work best for you.
Kind of like mining for gold, who cares how you got it out of the ground, once you get it out, you're rich :-) But if you rely on someone else telling you what the best way was for their mine, you may not be doing it the best way for your mine thus you need
to geological surveys, exploration, trial and error, etc. In other words, you need to do some real grunt work.
Often, using multiple methods is best though because each has its pros and cons (yes, even my startup script -- thanks for the cheerleading Michael and Tim). But as mentioned, it all comes down to you learning about your environment and the different
methods available to make the best choice. If there was only one "best" way to do it, there wouldn't be multiple available and none of us would really be needed.

PE 13: What is the best way to cut out an unwanted segment and leave a fade-out/fade-in overlap? Without multi-track overlaps?

I have a long video segment and want to remove unwanted segments and replace them with fade-in/fade-out transitions. I know that I can do this between two separate video tracks by fading out Video 1 and fading in Video 2 and having the two tracks overlap during the transition. Is there an easy way to do this on the same track? The way I've done this before is to cut out the unwanted segment, then move the two segments to separate tracks and overlap them.
To compound the problem, I have a separate audio track for the wireless microphone I'm wearing. I need to pull that into the fade transitions. So that's Video 1 and Audio 1 with Narration, all cut at the same time with overlapping fade-out/fade-in in the fewest steps. Can Premiere Elements 13 handle that?

Add On...I am weighing the merits of applying an audio transition directly below the video transition. Considering Crossfade's Constant Gain or Constant Power with a forced alignment of Between Clips. According to Adobe documentation
Adobe Premiere Elements Help | Applying transitions to clips
Adobe Premiere Elements includes two audio transitions in the Crossfade category: Constant Power and Constant Gain. Though both provide fades, they differ slightly. Constant Power creates a smoother-sounding fade, while Constant Gain, though mathematically linear, often sounds abrupt.

What is the best method to block out signatures?

Hi
Hopefully someone has some ideas on this.
Basically my company needs to block out signatures and private information like telephone numbers in PDF documents which we publish on the web.
We have been using the rectangle tool and 'lock' button to block out and lock the boxes so people with the Adobe reader can't read them. This isn't perfect because its like a new layer and when scrolling up and down the information behind the box is viewable for a split second. And even with the lock button ticked people with Acrobat Pro can still untick this and move the box. This can be fixed by password protecting the document but its a pain!
Now we have a new problem. It seems these rectangle boxes don't appear on some third-party PDF viewing software. Namely the one on the iPad! People using iPads can see all private details we are publishing on the web!!
Are there better ways to block out signature using Acrobat?? We are using Acrobat Pro 7. Since this problem arose out website has had to come down. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks for your help.
Steve

Also, the version you are using is so old that 1) it's not supported anymore and 2) most readers here won't know how it works.
Redaction could be your solution, but the latest version does this better and differently.
You can also certify the doc and lock it.
Try creating signature appearances without personal info in it.
Get a trial of Acrobat 10 and see if that's the way to go.

Is the magic wand tool the best tool for cutting out a person's head?

Need advice! The picture is of a girl with her hair blowing in the wind, so I'm not sure about using the magic wand tool.

I guess we should ask what version of Photoshop the OP is using.
One could arge that the OP should have provided that information by themselves and, if not, kind of deserves potentially being confused by having functionality presented that may not be part of their set-up …
Edit: But in all fairness I suspect I may have omitted such information myself when I first started asking questions on this Forum.
Not to mention that it seems somewhat remarkable howt many people seem to prefer talking about specific images to simply posting them (or lores or section of them) – which would make assessing the tasks in question often a lot easier.

Turn off the phone and put it in a bag of uncooked rice for 5 days or so. Do not get your hopes up. By what you have posted your phone has partially failed and will most likely totally fail in the future.

Whats the best method to burn a DVD?

Anyone have good success with iDVD? or can anyone tell me how using a disk image works, and is it better?

Sure:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93006
Use Apple's Disc Utilities to Lower the speed like this:
Or you can use Roxio Toast ...
Test the disk image for proper playback like this using Apple's DVD Player prior to burning to Verbatim or Maxell DVD-R at 4x or lower (slower is better).

What is the best method for multiple language interface?

Hi,
I need to adapt my CVI application to multiple languages. But I have to be able to do this on the fly. The Localizer is great for all the panel objects and this works great. But I was wondering what the best method is for all the dialog box text? Right now I'm using const char defines for the text. For exampl:
const char *CONST_NO_STRING = "No";
Is there a simple method, or best practice method, to load different language dialog text at run time or on the fly?
Thanks,
Andy

Not sure if Andy's original concern was settled... but let's try and button this up:
- The UI Localizer does use a text file with manually-written translated strings for each supported language
- From the Localizer help: this will only aid in translating the panel labels.
Use this instrument driver to easily display user interfaces in different languages. When loading a panel or menu bar, you can specify a language file that contains translations for all the labels on the panel and all the menu items. You can create different language files for the user interfaces by translating them with the User Interface Localizer utility (localui.exe).
- If you have additional content to be translated (like the text inside a drop down box), manually loading from .lwl, or similar, files and programmatically setting those dialog box entries would be the solution. - Looks like CVI should handle multibyte languages just fine (see below), though I have never used them.
To close, these 2 devzones are good references:

What is the best method of backing up my digital files (catalog) in the Photoshop Elements Organizer

What is the best method or service for backing up my digital files (catalog) in the Organizer from Photoshop Elements 12. Since there no longer is the automatic Elements sync available I do not know what to choose. I have tried to back this up using my external drive, but I cannot find the digital images per se. I see the entire program but not the catalog of pictures. Also, I have a windows operating system and Adobe Revel offers no edit capabilities with this OS.

I'm in a similar situation including movies I've purchased from iTunes...
Here's my setup:
I have all my iTunes data (music, movies, etc.) as well as about 10 GB of photos stored on a nework storage device that uses RAID-5 with SATA disks. This is basically a little toaster-sized NAS machine with four hard drives in it (www.infrant.com). If one of these drives dies, I get alerted and can insert a new one without missing a beat since the data is stored redundantly across all drives. I can also just yank out any one of the four drives while the thing is running and my data is still safe (I tried this after I bought it as a test).
That's how I prevent problems with a single disk... Redundancy
Now onto "backups"...
Nightly, my little RAID toaster automatically backs itself up to an attached 250GB USB drive. However, these backups are only of my critical data... documents, photos and home movies... I don't bother backing up my "Hollywood" movies since I can live without them in a disaster.
... I actually don't permanently store anything I care about on a laptop or a desktop. It all goes on the NAS box (Network Sttached Storage) and then my other computers use it as a network drive. It's attached via Gigbait to my main computer and via wireless to most everything else.
My achilles heel is that I don't store anything outside of my house yet. If I was smart, I'd alternate two USB drives attached to my NAS box and always keep one of them somewhere else (Safe Deposit Box?).
...and that's just one way to do it.

What is the best method for moving iTune Libraries from Old to New Computer

Hello,
Thanks in advance for any assistance you may offer.
My Sony Vaio Desktop recently died and untimely death, so I just purchased an HP Notebook. I was trying to wait out the release of the possible update of the Macbook line. However the old computer didn't agree. This HP will tie me over till a new release.
I've been doing weekly backups for over 3 years with a backup drive from Western Digital. At this point I just want to transfer my music in iTunes and applications from the App store that are loaded on to my iPod Touch into the new computer and then reauthorize and sync.
My question is what's the best method. Oh another problem I'm having includes the latest iPhone & iPod Touch software problem of 3rd party apps not working along with the vanishing of my music on the Touch.
Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Open up a fresh copy of iTunes. Point iTunes in the direction of your Western Digital Harddrive. Import Folders.
1. New Copy
2. Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> General -> Change -> <the address of the iTunes library on WD>
3. File -> Add Folder to Library -> <Select iTunes folder on WD>
Always keep a backup of your iTunes Library file and the iTunes XML Document. If you have those, then it might be just as simple as copying those to your iTunes file folder. If you are not sure where they are, then do a search for iTunes.xml.

What is the best method for backing up movies?

I've been using Handbrake to rip out movies that I OWN so I can watch them on my apple tv. Everything works great, I'm just wondering what the best way to back up these files is. Any ideas?
I own about 400 DVD's and would like to have them all in my Itunes Library so I can watch them in my apple tv. I've spent many many many many hours with Handbrake and putting them on external firewire hard drives and I really love this system. I can watch any movie any time without loading up my DVD.
BUT, I would hate to have a hard drive failure and loose all of this time I've spent doing this. Any ideas on the best way to back up these movie.MP4 files? I guess I could burn a ton of DVD's, but I'm guesssing there is another easier way.
And PLEASE, leave out the copyright comments, I BOUGHT these DVD's, and there is NO reason I shouldnt be able to watch them on my apple tv...
thanks,
Brown.Recluse
