Good way to know if a color is part of the shadows, midtones, or highlights?

Hello!

Once more, I realized there is an embarrassing gap in my knowledge AE: I don't know how I can see accurately if a certain color is read as part of the shadow, midtones, or highlights of an image. I don't know he rest of the easy way that I just can't think that's why I ask your help on this. Any tips will be appreciated! Thank you!

That info is based on the lightness or brightness of a pixel, according to which the effect is used (luminance is preferable, because it is weighted to perceptionally). So if you go to view this channel, for example by ways of channel combiner effect, whites, blacks and grays will give you an idea of who is who...

  • good way to composite a RGB color's alpha/matte channel

    Hi all

    I use the vray for 3D rendering engine, using his multimatte render element that assigns the mattes of certain materials (or objects) in the scene of a channel: R, G or B.

    I am curious about the best way to composite once I have this file made outside.  The easiest way I think is do a select range of color on solid color matte chain, then using the selection to change my image as needed.  But I also used After Effects to do this and there is a "channel select" which extract channel and converts it to a one-step alpha mask... makes me think that there is a more elegant way in Photoshop as well...

    Thank you!

    the love of my life

    So you do not have a transparency or channels in the normal image - you have a separate image.

    Given that the masks are complete strings: you can simply load the content of the string as a selection (which I would put in a layer mask) or copy the desired channel in a layer mask on the rendered document.

    (1) create the adjustment layer in the rendered document

    (2) go to the mask paper

    (3) select the green channel

    (4) copy

    (5) return to document rendering

    (6) target the layer mask of the adjustment layer of the

  • What is a good way to use the queues for the model of consumers/producers?

    Hi all

    I am following the model of consumers/producers to use the queue to synchronize the following process: the producer is a loop to produce a number N, I will put each number generated in a table and after each 5 numbers generated, I put the table in the queue and pass it on to the consumer. I have to wait the use by consumers of the data and it will then remove the item from queue so that producers will have the chance to produce another 5 numbers. As I put the maximum size of the queue one, I expect that the producer and the consumer turns to produce / consume all five numbers and the opportunity to another. Here is my code

    When the checkbox is false, the code will be

    For the first 5 numbers, product will generate every thing right and put it in the table, and it's going to pass the array to the quere so that the consumer will have the chance to loop through the table. I except the procude loop will continue only when the queue is available (i.e. all items are deleted), but it seems that once the consumer starts the loop loop of the product will continue (if the indicator x + 1 and x 2 will be changed to numbers). But this isn't what I want, I know there must be something wrong, but I can't say it is.

    As you say in 1, sequency structure to enforce the order of execution, that's why I put it here, in this example, the simple question, I replace the complete code with increase in the number, in the real case, the first markers + 1 and + 2 must be performed in this order.

    Mikeporter says:
    1. get rid of all the structures of the sequence. None of them are nothing but apply a work order which would have been the same without them.

    So even if you delete the sequence structure, there will be a fixed & defined order and it is because LabVIEW follows the MODEL of FLOW OF DATA.

    Data flow model (more precisely in the context of LabVIEW): a block diagram node runs when it receives the required inputs. When a node is running, it produces output data and transmits data to the next node in the path of the data stream. The flow of data on the nodes determines the order of execution of the VIs and functions on the block diagram (click here for reference).

    Now in your code, just remove the sequence structure will not make you order will be going to stay the same, but you need to do some very minor changes (as thread of the error in loop, before that he go to the node "Élément Dequeue").

    Come to the main point: it's a good way to use the queue for the consumer/pmodel that?
    The model you are using (and qualifying as consumer/pmodel) is much too deviated from the original consumer/pmodel which model.

    For the second, Yes, it's my fault for delete, though. I'm actually the example of model of producer/consumer design pattern, but I do not pay attention to the while loop in the part of the consumer.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

  • Is there a good way to archive historical data?

    Our planning cubes become too big with 5 years of forecasting and budgeting data.

    Is there a good way to archive historical data?

    How you guys do it?

    I know a simple way is easy make a copy planning essbase cubes.  However, is there text, attachments and support details, these will be lost unless there is a way to archive a RDBMS repository data for planning.  Even in this case - all links and hooks of the Essbase cubes in these RDBMS repository will be broken.

    The old fashion method is to print all reports in PDF and archiving.

    Given that the plan changes every month, reprocess you history until you check in?

    Thanks for your advice.

    This can be done in 2 ways...

    1. just make a copy of the old 'DATA' in text file or another essbase cube history. Clear only the historical data for the current application. This will keep other information as text in the intact cell. In case the user wants to refer to the old texts/support cell details they can do by going directly into the application and for part of data, they can look in old PDF report.

    2. a copy of the planning application to create a copy of the current request. Keep all old data, text etc in old app of cells. All previous reports also point this app. Then erase current app and can be simply provide read access to older data App users can be trained to use older applications for all historical data and current app for existing budgets. Also this app can be used during the period of archiving all data.

  • What is a good way to check if the selection ADB sql cursor returns nothing

    Hi all

    I am trying to find a good way to identify that a select SQL basic cursor return nothing.
    I know that or we use exception when no data found or count (*) to check how many rows are returned.


    I have a cursor based on a long statement select.
    As
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE aaa (v_input IN NUMBER, v_output OUT VARCHAR2)
         CURSOR long_cursor IS
              --long select statement(with input variable) ;
    
    BEGIN

         --Get information from cursor
            --other processing for output
        End loop;
      END IF;

    Hello Ann,.

    Apart from the possibility has already been mentioned that other users can change the data during execution of your process, you can check if something needs to be done without the COUNTY. Set a flag in the cursor for loop. When there is no data, then the flag will not change one you can perform the necessary procedure.

    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE aaa (v_input IN NUMBER, v_output OUT VARCHAR2)
    
        v_data_found    BOOLEAN := FALSE;
        CURSOR long_cursor IS
            --long select statement(with input variable) ;
    
    BEGIN
        For record in long_cursor loop
            v_data_found := TRUE;
            --Get information from cursor
            --other processing for output
        End loop;
        IF NOT v_data_found THEN
            -- set processed flag

  • Good way to start with learning the concepts of 11g

    Hello

    I have a work experience on the BEA weblogic server 8.1 sp4 on which I have worked for about 2 years now. My current mission requires work to Installation / development and deployment on the server of Fusion middleware 11g. Could some body if you please suggest me a good way to start with learning the concepts of 11g.

    I understand that all the documentation is available in the Oracle forum, but I want to know where to go.

    My essential tasks in the assignment would be
    1. installation (OSB on top of WLS).
    2 development/configuration on OSB.
    3 deployment and administrative tasks.

  • Good way to give margin top navbar?

    Hello!

    I am faced with a simple question:

    I have a bar of navigation inside my wrapper div. I want to give a top margin in the navigation bar to say 10 px from the top of the wrapper DIV. But the top margin does not work as I expect.

    Here is my code:

    < body >
    < div id = 'wrapper' >
    < div id = "navbar" >
    < a href = "index.htm" > home < /a >
    < a href = "products.htm" > < /a > Products
    < a href = "terms.htm" > < /a > terms
    < a href = "shipping.htm" > < /a > shipping
    < a href = "about.htm" > us < /a >
    < a href = "contact.htm" > < /a > Contact
    < / div >
    < / div >

    < / body >

    {#wrapper}
    background-color: #000066;
    min-height: 600px;
    }
    {body
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    do-family: Arial, Helvetica, without serif.
    }
    {#navbar}
    background-color: #035665;
    Width: 80%;
    margin-right: auto;
    left margin: auto;
    text-align: center;
    }
    a: link {}
    color: #FFFFFF;
    }
    a: visited {}
    color: #CCCCCC;
    }
    #navbar a {}
    right margin: 8px;
    left margin: 8px;
    }

    What is a good way to push my navigation bar on the top of the wrapper div?

    Add padding 1px above your css selector of wrapper (as shown below)

    {#wrapper}
    background-color: #000066;
    min-height: 600px;
    padding-top: 1px;
    }

    Then take the top on your "navbar" 19px margin if you want it to be 20px in total from the top of the browser window.

    What is happening is the margin collapses and the wrapper inherits the style if you need create a barrier between the two, the padding of 1px for this.

    CSS works in mysterious ways and not always apparently logical.
