How to create subtitles for a button?

Hello!

I really tried to find the answer to this ridiculous problem on mine, but without result. Please help someone!

The situation:

I have a menu with three choices: 'Play Movie', 'scène Sélection' and 'subtitles '. Now, the text with these choices are part of the image background, created in the first (the program that I know best). They are written with an old typewriter to get that gritty feel.

I want the user to navigate between these 'menus '. The currently selected item should be indicated by a black circle/point/point before the item text. By default, when the menu appears, there is a black circle in front (to the immediate left of) the element "Play Movie". The user should now be able to intervene with its remote control, the other points, thus making the circle black in front of 'Play movie' disappear and instead of other elements. In short: the black circle is always show before the currently selected item. OK, I got there a little chatty, but the idea got across hopefully. One more thing: the background color is white to 100%.

So far, my solution was this: I placed Black circles (small images with graduation and everything, very nice looking) before all THE THREE ELEMENTS. Can I convert these into buttons. Then I choose the color defined for the menu so that the unselected state is 100% covering the Black circles that should not see white, pure and simple, with an opacity of 100%. Only in the opacity of selected and active States for the fall of subpicture for button at 0%, revealing the black circle that must be seen.

The problem? Well well, on some DVD players (not on the XBOX 360 so), when an element is activated, all three circles show a brief moment until the selected action begins (the movie playing for example). It also happens in preview again. It's not logical at all and looks amateurish. I don't know why it happens, but my guess is that it would not be if I did it the 'proper' way: by creating a subpictures fo the buttons in the shape of circles. I understand that the gradations seeks beautiful must go out of the window, but it's a price I'm willing to pay.

But now I encountered an unexpected problem: I do not understand how to create a subpicture for button who is a black circle. It seems the documentation in still and on the forums generally takes for granted that you know how to do this.

What I tried was this: I created a monochrome, small image in format bmp - a black circle on a white background. But this picture just shows up as a black rectangle in yet.

What should I do? I must add that I have no real experience with Photoshop, so go slowly if you go.

Kind regards

Basically, when we realize the limitations of the secondary image highlights, as defined by the DVD-plug., it is easy to see the "Workaround".

A couple of aspects of subpicture highlights are:

1.) 2-bit color (either ON or OFF), in a color scheme limited, with degrees of transparency (as opposed to the opacity of the PS).

2.), they will appear on top of anything else on the Menu, including things like text/graphics buttons.

By building your secondary image to highlight in PS, you can use the masking allows you to set where it will be, and where it will not. In the case that prompted my article, the poster had a series of text buttons and the secondary image highlights were formed from this text. The poster did not like the look of these 2 bits stepped colored blocks covering the text in the button. The solution is to "a hole" in the subpicture Highlight, so that it is hollow, there where the text of the button. This in the PS, using the "outline" of this text to create a mask to highlight of the secondary image. The appearance in staircase can be adjusted a little, using a degree of transparency (defined in the No - Auto Color Set back in again). We always have a color 2 bits subpicture Highlight and she still overlays of text for the button, but now there's a hole in it, just where the text of the button is located, and it is seen through this hole. The introduction of transparency has the Visual effect to "soften" the appearance of the color of 2 bits, even if the edges are still there - they look just softer. I went to show how we can even use a second secondary image point out, it's just a little bigger than the first and more transparent to simulate a "glow". Now, we can have a real "glow", because we are limited to this 2-bit color to highlight the secondary image, but we can simulate it.

A large part of what makes a designer is really light hand - illusion. They all have to work within the limits of the specifications DVD (or BD)., but with a little creativity, planning and other work in PS, and yet, they can create enough smoke and enough mirrors allows to deceive the user into believing that what they think they see skirt the DVD specifications. They did not, but here comes the illusion.

We receive many questions from people who would say that one commercial DVD, or another, a full-color subpicture highlights, and they complain that yet can do that - only 2 bits subpicture highlights. What they see, but don't realize, isn't fooled Menu, with a color chart and no real subpicture highlight visible. Jeff gives all the details on this operation. Even for those who have seen a button with a miniature of duo-tone, which transformed into color, when the button is navigated to. Wow, how did, and why Adobe Encore can do that? Well, what they saw was fooled Menu, with a full color sticker and not point out visible real subpicture.

Jeff shows how to create what seems like at least a secondary image 3 colors to highlight. It's really just 3 regular 2-bit subimage color highlights, with masking to create the illusion that he has beaten the DVD specifications. Neat! [From the USA, I also liked that he used the American flag, but he could have chosen the "tricolor" French, or any other flag, without work.]

Here are all the tips of righteous, but if the user buys in the illusion, which is?

Enjoy,

Hunt

PS - if much larger positions, the elderly were lost, when the forum change that's happened, I strongly suggest to read the posts here. You can ignore those that don't offer anything, but almost every possible illusion was considered at least once, and probably a lot, with some of the different workflows offered by those who responded. Great reading.

    Create the hotspot buttons. See this article: Hot Spot button Workaround for InDesign dig Pubs

    If you want to create a simple toggle button, create a button that points to a MSO (multi-state object) in which the first State is empty and the second State is the image. When you create the button, use the 'go to the next State.

    To create more advanced buttons, download the free app from the DPS advice and look at advanced overlays > toggle button Hot Spot. Web viewer version is here: DPS tips Advanced overlays: toggle button Hot Spot

  • How to create content for my DMP - 4310G

    Hi all

    I am very new to my Cisco DMP - 4310g. I'm looking for some quick knowledge about how to get the content created and sent to play on my DMP.

    When looking for a player of signage, that I fell on the DMP - 4310g, reading the Cisco's Web site that explains the units looks like what I was looking for, but I was a little confused on how to get this operational thing. I contacted my dealer which I explained then to them that I wanted a player signaling that I could put in my reception area for visitors. I wanted something I could show images of society events, tickers for the news and maybe live TV streaming if possible. My dealer told me it's the unit, I needed. They said that I need the player DMP - 4310G and the DMP-4310-SW52-K9 software license (which allows me to create content?).

    Cisco's Web site was not exactly clear on how to create and publish content on these units, but I assumed that the license of the software they sent me was for the designer of digital media software. So, as you can see I'm stuck. I have the player and a software license (at least that is what it says on my packing slip), but how do I access the software Desginer? I can't find anywhere on the Cisco site to get it. How can I create content to display on the player?

    Help, please. I'm so confused. I have these two things, but where do I go from here?

    Thank you

    Steve

    Sounds like your dealer was not familiar with the solution. You can read the content on the DMP-4310 without the rest of the very, but it's a very manual process. The correct way to use the reader is to add the rest of the solution (Digital Media Manager, sign a license and licenses of DMP functionality). The design tool is part of the Digital Media Manager.

    You can also see the arms industry. They write software specifically for the 4310 DMP who will make content creation and management of small deployments as you have.

    I'd be happy to help you if you need help.

  • How to restore captions for the buttons in the taskbar?

    All of a sudden my Vista Ultimate x 64 taskbar buttons are tiny and have no subtitle.  I find nothing in the preferences/options of the bar of tasks or anywhere online that addresses this problem.  How can I get the legends back on my buttons on the taskbar?

    I found an answer to this, but find again this issue is a problem.  The link "click to go to the wire" did not work in the window of hotmail, microsoft answers did not show me a link for questions, that I had asked and research of the question did not.

    Now.  No, I meant that the icons are there, but the legends thereon are missing.  There is no way that I could find to fix this without going into the registry.  There is a key to register HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics.  A subkey MinWidth was added here.  I deleted the subkey and my legends back.

    And to answer your question about the changes.  Yes, there was a.  I downloaded PC Tools Registry Mechanic and 'optimized' my system.  Usually, tools such as analyzing, ask, and then optimize.  This "Optimization" took place without my express permission, and it does not backup before it changed things and did not offer a plea for annulment.  I have to find what other things he 'optimized' for me.  Found another today when all of a sudden my scanner has failed.   Turned out (after much research) one of the services he neede had been disabled (not changed in manual, DISABLED).  Needless to say, I deleted the tool.

    How can I create a CD of recovery for this laptop?

    Thanks in advance

    Well, you have tow options.
    First of all, you can order the CD from recovery Toshiba as suggested by the above user.
    As far as I know it s not expensive.

    Second possibility might be to create your own recovery CD using a 3rd party such as Norton Ghost for example application.
    Creating own recovery CD would be possible since all Toshiba drivers and tools are published on the European driver Toshiba page.

    So it s your choice now ;)
