When & why to create a "master layer" in CS6 for multi-layer image?

I would appreciate a link or a brief explanation of"when & why" and "how to use" a master layer when working with a multi-layered image (psd or psb) file in CS6.
I've done a google search and haven't found anything useful.
I've seen a couple of tutorials that make use of a "master layer" but I don't understand the "when & why."
Thanks, Chris Bernhardt

Yes a composit layer isoften a good work layer. When creatring them in action particulary if you give the actions to others to use thing can go badly if you just use Shift+Ctrl+Alt+E to create them for actions have no idea as to what the current Photoshop is when they start to play. Some targets will cause Shift+Ctrl+Alt+E not to work. The action also has not idea where in the stack the current target is. So its best to use three steps to create your composir work layer in actions. Shift+Ctrl+Alt+N Shift+Ctrl+Alt+E Shift+Ctrl+] can be shorten to Shift+Ctrl+Alt+N+E Shift+Ctrl+].
Shift+Ctrl+Alt+N Adds new enpth layer above current target without a prompt and becones the current target
Shift+Ctrl+Alt+E Stamps visible layers into the empty layer just added
Shift+Ctrl+] moes the stamped layer to the top of the stack.
The is a good work layer to doing many things Adding a Layers mask can isolate areas of intrest converting it to a smart object lets you use smart filters on it and also have a filter mask. Smert filtere can be re adjusted later.
Changing the layr blending mond, opacity, fill and blend if gray can help adjust the effect you creating.
Taking Noel sharpening adjustment layer few more steps
Create composit later on top add revail all layer mask convert to smart object layer
create a edge mask using a channel like a luminous selection that look like a blaack and white version of the image use the find edges filter on thet channel and add a levels adjustment to intensift the edges and load it as a selection usint the invert option.
Target the smart object layer and use one of the sharpening fiters on it. The edge selection will be added as a filter mask for the smart filter used for sharpening.
Change the smart object layer blending mode to luminosity so clors are not effected just the intensity and then adjust the blend if gary sliders split the black and white sliders to protect the images deepshadows ahd hightlights. Paint with Black in the layer to remove ant sharpening not desired.

How to create per instance jvm.config files for multi-instance ColdFusion Cluster ?

So when we have created our coldfusion 9 instance on solaris all the files and settings of the master instance are copied except the jvm.config file. This means that any changes made here are used for all instances of ColdFusion on that Node. Now I want to play with memory settings for fine tuning of Application performance and I want to do it on one single instance. I want to know the process of creating individual jvm.config files for each instance.

HT1589 Why does creating a new library only look for mp3 and AAC files. why not ALAC and AIFF ?

I want to add a new library so i can use on sepcific devices. However it does not att AIFF or ALAC files. I always import using AIFF into my standard library.
If i want to use only mp3 files in the new library do i have to create them first in my standard library then they will appear in the new library. then delete from the original library but keep files?
Thanks

Then it may have stalled, ot there could be permissions problems... Try adding the folder again or use iTunes Folder Watch.
Also i dont want to downsample to 128k. i want to use 320k and still have best quality without using lossless formats to put on the iPhone
iTunes can now downsample to 128k, 192k or 256k...
Also i dont want to see 2 of each song in one library
thats why i want to use two different libraries.
Yep, that bit I get, but switching in and out of libraries and trying to keep things up to date is easier said than done. I'm just trying to point out there might be an acceptable alternative that is easier to manage.

I'm creating a book from an album in iPhoto. I have downloaded the latest version of iPhoto. When I choose a book, i.e. wirebound, 19-20 page book, it shows a 42 page book when I am populating the pictures in the book I've selected. Is that because I have more pictures in the album?
In any case, I can't seem to manipulate/choose the number of pages I want. How can I stick with the 20 page book I want?
Thanks.

You can not select the "number of pages" - you select the photos and the page layours and the number of pages comes form that - with Autoflow iPhoto uses random page layouts so the number of pages is rando=m
You can change layouts to include more photos, move photos to the pages with no empty photos frames and then delete the pages at the end after the photos are used elsewhere

I tried resetting my Master Password using "chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul", but when I click on "Change Master Password" it asks for my CURRENT password. I don't have a current password, because I don't remember it and am trying to reset it!

Using FF 4.01 for laptops & desktops, Windows XP 2002 SP3. I used "chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul" to reset the Master Password. Then went to Tools/Options/Security, clicked on "Change Master Password". BUT it asks for my CURRENT password and new password. I don't know my current password. Is there a default Master Password that I need to input as the Current password?

If you still have a Master Password set then it looks that resetting the MP hasn't worked.
If using the chrome url (chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul) doesn't work then delete the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/key3.db key3.db] and signons.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox.
You need to set a new Master Password after renaming or deleting key3.db and all currently saved passwords are lost.

Creating a master table and using it to populate other tables.

Hi everyone.
I am a novice at using Numbers and I need some direction.
I am looking to create a master table with information for our summer camp. This table will include vital information such as name, address, etc. along with cabin assignments, tuitions received, and more.
We will separate this information into smaller tables that different portions of that master table for specific use. Such as: names and addresses for leaders, names and tuitions for registration, etc.
My goal is to type the information into the master table and have it update the other tables automatically. Can someone direct me how to format the master and sub tables so that this is possible?
I would greatly appreciate it and it will greatly reduce the record-keeping time for our camp.
Thank You!
Roy

Hi Roy,
Welcome to the Numbers discussions. You are giving us a tall order, especially when we don't know your level of experience in programming spreadsheets.
Here are a couple of basics to start the conversation...
In normal spreadsheet programming, we Pull data from one location into another, we don't Push it or Send it. This should help you to understand that the hard work is done in the sub tables, not the master.
You will use LOOKUP functions to pull the data to your sub tables. Download the Numbers User Guide and the Formulas and Functions User Guide and read up on them.
In your master table, make sure you have one column that uniquely identifies each participant so it will be easy to reference that person in your sub tables.
Regards,
Jerry

How to control Doublicate Entry while creating GL Master

HI every one,
Can any one let me know, how to control Doublicate check while creating GL Master. And also for AR and AP if possible.
Thank you
Satish

Hello Satish,
You can implement the logic to control duplication of G/L Master records either in
a) Function Exit EXIT_SAPMF02H_001 available within the SMOD enhancement SAPMF02H
b) P/S BTE 00002310 (Master Record G/L Account: Save)
The logic would be to identify if G/L Accounts with same Short/Long Texts already exist in the Company Code.
Hope this resolves your problem. Please reward points.
With Regards

FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6

Could you please attempt to shed some light on why FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6, yet apple finder is able to display thumbnails for these same FLVs without issue?
I'm running CS6 Production Premium with ALL updates installed on 10.6.8
I appreciate any input and help provided the input is provided by someone who either
A) knows the answer because they actually work for adobe
B) actually tried this themselves before attempting to provide a solution
If the conclusion is that it is a codec issue or a header issue with the FLVs You'd have to present a very strong case to back that claim up as it makes no sense whatsoever that CS6 is unable to generate thumbnails for media encoded using CS6, yet Apple finder can without issue. NOT to mention the FLVs in question are CREATED on the same machine with the same codecs installed that is trying to generate previews in Bridge.
Apologies if my frustration is showing, I've gotten and seen several... incompetent replies on this forum regarding this issue and it has never been actually addressed properly as far as I can tell by Adobe support.

We are all just incompetent users here. As pointed out before this is just a user to user forum, Adobe rarely checks in.
I was hoping by now you would have gotten to the bottom of this problem and were offering a solution.

Just tick this & record you will get comment in your recording
Hope this helps you

Why I cannot input Recon. acount when I create vendor master in XK01

The field of Recon. acount is greyed out when I create vendor master in XK01. Can any expert help?
BR, Eda

Hi Eda,
in the vendor account group, the field selection is guided by three different config.
The path is IMG>Financial Accounting(New)>Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable>Vendor Accounts>Master Data-->Preparations for Creating Vendor Master Data........
1 Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Vendors)
2 Define Screen Layout per Company Code (Vendors)
3 Define Screen Layout per Activity (Vendors).
Please check at the given following 3 places, in any one of them it must be defined in the display mode.
Hope it helps.

Why does Group created on Master console does not show any device count mapped on the managed Amp?

Q: Why does Group created on Master console does not show any device count mapped on the managed Amp?
A: When a group is created on master console it will be pushed to all the managed amp which is added with Manage group configuration enabled. The Group pushed to the managed amp will be created as Global group and you can create subscriber groups for the global group to which you will add the device into since we cannot add any devices into global group directly.
Hence there is no device added to the global group, on the master console it does not show any device count for the groups that are created on master console.

LACK OF FULL PEN TOOL FUNCTIONALITY WHEN CREATING A SHAPE LAYER

Hello, I'm going through Chris Meyer's video course on being an AE apprentice and have spent over an hour on the following issue.
Here is what I know.
I know I am trying to create a shape layer, not a mask, to create a frame to surround the video of the green field on the attached screenshot. Therefore, I pressed "F2" to make sure I am doing so.
I want to define the borders of this picture frame by using the pen tool to draw a path on the layer entitled "Windy Peak".
I have highlighted that layer in my timeline.
This video was pasted on to a placeholder shape that I had created using Command Option "/" on my Mac.
I do have limited use of the pen tool, because it displays properly when I hover it above the borders of the video to be framed.
But I lack access to the toolbar controls I want to complete my assignment.
For example, I would like to create a gradient to define the internal coloration of this frame, but I have no use of the eyedropper when I click on the Color Picker.
Also, I am unable to access or manipulate any of the standard fill or stroke options for use of my pen.
This is what I know.
Thanks for your help! Matt
Message was edited by: Matt Dubuque to add the fact that the video had been pasted on to a placeholder shape image by pressing Command Option "/" on my Mac.

Thanks for pitching in Todd and Rick, I appreciate it very much.
As previously stated, I do have use of the pen tool, but it only has limited functionality as demonstrated by the path I created on the green meadow. My Tools Panel remains activated .
My core problem remains that I am unable to adjust the fill or stroke settings for my pen.
I have tried changing and resetting various work spaces and this has not helped.
I'm scratching my head here.
