create the towers in rectangle ellipse mask... aaarrrrggghhh

I'm new to CS3 and I am doing fine with Flash.  However, my recent meeting with Illustrator (13.0.2) is irritating to say the least.

Simple task:

(1) I start Illustrator, choose 'New' and set the size of 175 by 175 pix pix

(2) in the layer window, I create two sublayers (2 and 3)

(3) I drag my jpg (157 x 157) image in the background layer (2)

(4) I hide layer 2 and layer 3 (that exceeds the 2 underlayment in the layer window) can create a rectangle (90 x 120).

(5) I have "effect-> convert-> ellipse shape ' my rectangle with the pix 0 related for the two dimensions." I see my ellipse. WOW!

(6) I "fix-> bring forward" the ellipse.

(7) I view underlay 2

(7) in the layer window, I click on layer 1, and then click Create/cancel clipping mask.

VOILA, my mask works, but it is the rectangle. WHERE IS MY ELLIPSE?

I search the web and wasted four hours trying solutions and advice.  Still no mask elliptical, rectangular only.

How it became SO difficult?

Expand the appearance of the effect for the converted Rectangle as the original form has not been changed it is always a rectangle.

If you select the ellipse, you will see the selected rectangle, not a choice of form of an ellipse.

If you want a true ellipse then use the ellipse tool if you want to enter the digital dimension just takes the ellipse tool and click on the canvas and ellipse dialog box appears, enter the dimensions click Ok and Voila and ellipse of this dimension.

Now make your mask.

If you are already happy with the ellipse you have as I wrote extend the appearance of one you have or use that I would come out the mask first and then develop more redo the mask.

The ellipse tool is the tool of Marquis.

  • How to create the layer mask using ellipse (circle) to show the face of the watch only?

    just stuck - see how to get a job of layer mask using a brush, but can not get by with the help of an ellipse

    What I'm after is:

    * Start simple watch, with the face and band by photo

    * want to apply a layer, so the only thing I see the circular face of the watch (no tape etc.) and that the base is clear (alpha)

    May I ask what are the instructions step by step to achieve this goal by using layer masks & ellipse tool?  (i.e. not having to manually paint around the dial)

    Here's the original image:

    1. Make a copy of the background and work on this copy of background layer.
    2. Use the elliptical selection tool, hold down the SHIFT key to draw a circular selection:
    3. Select use (on the menu bar)... Transform the selection to move the selection, and drag the sides of the selection at the edges of the dial:
    4. After you click the green check mark, use the selection... Inverse to select all items except the dial of the watch and press your delete key to remove such things:

    If you use CS2, you can use the layer style > stroke and adjust the opacity of fill to 0. It would be more difficult to make a dotted line. Most likely, you will need to create a mask for this.

  • create the path or a schema like text

    Hi, for the text, I can easily use TYPE / Create described

    But what of creating around trace or PNG with transparency?

    I know about the use of the pen tool and create the path, but it takes a long time and my final work not perfect as I want

    y at - it advice to create the trajectory autour and object of the image?

    Arioman,

    For vector illustrations (if you are referring to the object), you can use the appearance palette flyout and adds a new line (you can add several ones with desired weight of race and color (and transparency > opacity may be set to 0%).) You can drag the new line below the filling to have only the outer ring of half of it appear (so you will need to double the weight race).

    For images with transparency raster, you can redraw the outside contour with the right tools (Pen Tool, Ellipse tool, what is appropriate), or you can Auto/Live Trace the outer contour (you may need to develop) and then apply whatever the race weight, color, whatever, you want.

    For raster with just a rectangular border images, you can object > flatten transparency, then separate and flatten transparency and apply the stroke to the path that was a clipping mask. You can use the object > offset by half the weight of the race if you want the path outside of the frame. There may be other ways in the new version (s).

  • Create the custom using elements of Page filter

    Hello

    I am trying to create a custom of sorts using page elements filter date picker.

    I want a report to have a where clause clause that says something like this:

    WHERE the table. Date >: P1_Date1

    AND the table. Date..: P1_Date2

    I need to do it this way because I need to have another area that displays the weighted average on the basis of 2 of the columns in this table set and I was unable to find a good way to make a weighted average using the interactive report options.

    The question just the other side is that I can not simply refer text buried user to a static source page element. I used radio groups before where the change they had an action "refresh and set the ' enabled me to make reference to them, but I don't see how to do something like this with the dates selectors.

    Any ideas on how I should go about it?

    EDIT:

    I've included an example of what I am trying to accomplish.

    I want to do the same thing with the dates selectors, but previously I was unable to get the selectors of dates static to use in a sql requpete as I can with the Group of radio buttons.

    I created the page 586 as a copy of the original, with the following changes:

    1 has changed the Page Action sélection P586_PERSON point filter parameter of redirection and set the value None.

    2. added explicit Format mask to DD-MON-YYYY to filter items date picker.

    3. change the source of the region of results reports to:

    select
        *
    from
        scores s
    where
        s.person = :p586_person
    and s.scoredate between to_date(:p586_mindate, 'dd-mon-yyyy') and to_date(:p586_maxdate, 'dd-mon-yyyy')
    

    4. define the region of results reports the Items property of the Page to be sent to P586_PERSON, P586_MINDATE, P586_MAXDATE. What causes the values of these elements to present before a partial page refresh is performed on the region, making them available in session state when the content of the region is updated.

    5 created a dynamic change on the region of filter action:

    Event: Change

    Selection type: Region

    Region: Filters

    Action: Discount

    Fire on Page load: NO.

    Selection type: Region

    Region: Reports of results

    The region of IR report Score is now automatically updated each time that one of the elements in the region of filters are changed. That leaves the data region totaled. As a static content area may not be automatically updated by a dynamic action of PPR, and I'm not so sure as rules that must be used to apply filters to the values of the region. The same range filters in person and date should apply to the total values as are used in the report?

  • After the effects of Pépin masking in adobe

    I have a small problem when you try to put a mask on a lightsaber for a video, it shows the effects before it is supposed to appear.

    glitch - YouTube

    Maybe it's my editing, but I can not understand how to fix it

    Just post a picture or pictures showing the problem gives us nothing to work with others that you may have a problem of image cache or you are not using the right workflow.

    To diagnose your problem are open to the top of the model, move the CTI on an image where a layer or effect appeared a problem and start to turn things around at the same time. Start by purging the cache using the edition a lot. Then try to find the layer is the source of the problem. Depends on how you created the glow looks like you have a coup; the additional shots or forms in the model. One in front of her face and a little over his shoulder.

    When find you what layer is causing the glitch appear solo this layer, press U twice to reveal all changed properties and then start to turn things off or redefinition of values. If you cannot resolve the problem, then we need to see a screenshot of what you found and have a detailed description of your workflow.

    Composition settings, OS and AE version up to the last comma would also help.

    It's very strange for me that your sample film still has the green screen. My workflow would be key to the actor, so if there is a lot more that should be added to the stage I would make a DI with a channel alpha and 10 bits or better codec and continue from there. At least I'm moving dial my shot at key and then start building the composite. According to the accessory used for the light saber I would be either follow-up or roto and then start to build this effect. The actor already indexed will be much easier to make any roto.

    I hope this makes you in the right direction. If it does not cache problems, it's probably user error.

  • Cannot create the new vSwitch

    I was trying to create a distributed switch in my lab at home, after having no idea what I was doing, I deleted the VDS.

    I tried to recreate the old vSwitch and encountered an error during the creation of the vSwitch.

    I tried to reboot the host, but it did not work.

    Before you create the VDS, I had two NICs connected to iSCSI port.

    I did not remove the portbinding before deleting the vSwitch, and I think that it may have broken the networking.

    Is there a way to fix this?

    Three things I can think of:

    Your document must be in RGB mode.

    Masks are grayscale. If you select the mask, you cannot apply a color.

    Always check your tab at the top to see if what you choose is RGB or grayscale.

  • Create the virtual machine by using the file PowerCLI and csv

    I know there is a lot of info out there on this and I think I have a working script prety good.  Much was borrowed from this thread, http://communities.vmware.com/thread/315193 many thanks to LucD.

    My code is as follows:

    # Deploy virtual machines from CSV file
    # Much borrowed from http://communities.VMware.com/thread/315193?start=15 & tstart = 0


    # CSV import file

    -Confirm: $false - RunAsync
    ## .......
    }

    He's going to cross and clone the virtual machine, and looks like he's running of the OSCustomizaitonSpec then it bombards.  It cleans bad VM.  Recent tasks shows "failed virtual machine clone that a specified parapeter was not correct." hostname ".

    The problem is that I don't mean to set a hostname with the OSCustomixationSpec, I try only to IP address info.

    I'm runningn PowerCLI 5.0.1 build 581491

    My ESXi host is 5.0.0 build 914586

    My vCenter Server is Ver 5.0.0 build 623373

    I opened a new thread, because the age of the old thread.  Not sure if this is the best way to do things.

    You can be more selective about the current jobs. For example, you can check if the name of the job shows that they are actually cloning jobs.

  • Create the work around plan group, unless there is a clipping path, and then create the work around clipping path plan

    Hello again everyone.

    I was able to work on a lot of this code to other people's questions, but I hit a snag in my if/else clause structure... I need to make a plan to work around each groupItem of high-level layer [0]. This part is cake... unless there is a clipping mask. Visible limits do not work when there is a clipping mask. So, I built some of the loops that browse the pathItems search the clipping mask and return the visibleBounds said mask. However, I can't find how to structure the if clause in a way that will create the plan of work around the clipping mask when one exists.

    I am successful to find the visibleBounds of the mask and the creation of the appropriate graphic board, but it is ALSO to create a work plan around the visible boundaries of the entire group. How framing an if clause to determine if a work plan has been done around the clip path already and therefore not create a second work plan around the visible boundaries of the groupItem together? I guess I would need some sort of function to determine if createdArtboardAroundClip = true and if so, skip this group...

    Thank you all.

    Here is the code:

    var aB = docRef.artboards;
    var docLayers = docRef.layers;
    var layer1 = docLayers[0];
    var groupLevel1 = layer1.groupItems;
    
    for (a = 0; a < groupLevel1.length; a++){
        var groupLevel2 = groupLevel1[a].groupItems;
        var vB = groupLevel1[a].visibleBounds
        
        for (b = 0; b < groupLevel2.length; b++){
            var paths = groupLevel2[b].pathItems;
            
            for (c = 0; c < paths.length; c++){
                if (paths[c].clipping == true){
                    var clipBounds = paths[c].visibleBounds;
                    aB.add(clipBounds);
                    break;
                    }
                }
            }
        aB.add(vB);
        }
    

    Oh sorry, I forgot that one.  I was able to view the image basically to see what is happening.  Okay, so I saw a problem, you have one of your straps closure irrelevant.   Your first nested for loop does not close where you want.

    Hello
    Which characters do you have in your data file that define the "line break".

    Oracle documentation:

    If DELIMITED BY NEWLINE is specified, then the actual value used is platform-specific. On UNIX platforms, NEWLINE is assumed to be "\n". On Windows NT, NEWLINE is assumed to be "\r\n".
    

    you have these 'hidden' characters in your folder or are they something else?
