In Gimp, there is a command called "color to alpha". What is the equivalent of this command in Photoshop? [please?]
Hi people. Another saltquestion related ection/transparency. Im making this transition from Gimp PS and Im trying to make the process faster by asking specific questions, because its still taking me by watching videos. At this point Im just trying to learn my way around the interface of the program rather than learning the science itself.
Back to the question: in Gimp "color to alpha" removes a particular color of the image while keeping the other colors intact. Another way to do is to put the tool eraser to remove a particular color when you apply it. How do the exact equivalent or closed cela in Photoshop? Basically, my questions are:
What command or option use to remove a particular color both in image? [Ex. There is the American flag and I want to turn red in alpha gradients]
How to set the BRUSH tool to make it an ERASER tool, affecting only a particular color or how to configure the Eraser tool so that it affects only a specific color in the image?
All your time and info is much appreciated.
Short answer: No. even after all this time, Photoshop still doesn't offer such a handy tool. There is a Select statement--> the color range option, but it gives quite severe results and does not mix, alpha, etc. into account.
Alternatively, the BlendIf option can also work in some cases.
To remove the black (or white if you reverse the image first), the Unmultiply plugin can be used: http://www.ayatoweb.com/download/down04.html
Although I'm not sure if it still works in the latest version. The developer has created a FilterForge version, which works very well (but requires a license FF).
An older plugin can be downloaded here:
http://www.Cybia.co.UK/TheWorks.html
Only works on 32-bit hosts Photoshop compatible plugin, however. So no luck with a 64-bit Photoshop.
It's really a shame: Photoline has a bright "color to transparency" no destructive layer (Stackable!) setting that does exactly what Gimp "color to alpha" does, but with a lot more control:
Here again, no tool offers everything, including Photoshop. Just run Gimp for these cases.

In Gimp, there is a command called "alpha to selection" which automatically selects the alpha channel of the image or layer. What is the equivalent command that in Photoshop? I tried Googling it but everything that comes is tutorials on masks. I just want to know what to select the alpha automatically without using a 'magic wand' to select one by one.
CMD (mac) or Ctrl (pc), click on everything that has transparency and that load a selection. This includes layers with transparency, masks layers, channels and paths. Also, there is a selection at the bottom of the layers, paths and channels Panel icon that looks like a dotted circle.

How to call a Java method n map the output of this method to a table in ODI
Hello
I am new to ODI. I wrote an interface that links the two tables (source) to a file (in the target). Now, I must apply a method (java call) on each element in a column in the target. Now my questions are:
1. all I know is to use the procedure using BeanShell Java or Jython. Can you give some examples of commands to achieve such a feature?
2. where should I actually apply this procedure? Is it possible to apply this procedure within the Interface during the mapping (so that I can map directly the result in the output file)?
Thanks in advance :)Not sure why you want to call a java method for each column.
But as others have mentioned, an ODI procedure won't help you do.However, there are other options you can exercise:
(1.) assuming that you are using Oracle, you can compile the Java class and wrap it as a PL/SQL function and then call this function from pl/sql to the ODI interface. This procedure will be called like any other function oracle for example. Upper (col1).(2.) as I understand, it's that you want to apply the Java method for all columns.
Assuming that you have knowledge with Jython and the code inside the KMs, you can customize the KM to include the Java method around the columns. But this approach is complex if you are a beginner.Hope that helps

Don't know what's happening, you do not give a lot of information, but if you have the constant beachballing (spinning wait cursor), which could mean that the hard drive is dying.
Open Console.app in Applications > utilities. Filter, called "String Matching," right, high enter "I/o" without the quotes. What happens when you do this?

Is there a function/command which includes clips automatically
Hello
I'm new to first and I wanted to know if there is a way to automatically align the clips on the timeline after lasting change. I am trying to create a slide show and when I change the duration of the clips for less time making them smaller but then there is a gap between each element of the image. I wanted to know if there is a way I can select all the clips and using a command automatically side by side put back them as they were before, all aligned without gaps.
Thanks in advance for your help.
In the dialog box Clip speed, there is an area called "Ripple Edit, Shifting trailing Clips." Use it.

Is there a firefox command argument to load firefox in 32-bit mode?
Hello
I RHEL6.3, I have the 32-bit versions and 64-bit of Firefox (V10.0.7) installed. I need 32 bits for WebEx (Java plugin) and the 64-bit Flash player.
Currently, I load the 32-bit executable file by running:
/ usr/lib/Firefox/FirefoxIs there a firefox command argument to load firefox in 32-bit mode?
for example firefox-32 bThanks in advance,
Simon32-bit and 64-bit versions are different programs and therefore installed in a directory of different programs, so you must start them in their own program directory.
If you want to start them via a command then you must write a script file to define the correct program directory.Why don't create you two desktop shortcuts for each of the two versions of Firefox and start them with their own profile?
