Masking of the plugin to look like Photoshop?

Y at - it no pluging out there who give Indesign the same type of masking that Photoshop has.? Or, how to hide eventually is possible in Indesign (CS4)?

Thanks in advance

Robert,

It is indeed a complex mask and personally I would do this part of the project in Photoshop (and I see no reason not to set the name as a text layer in Photoshop unless you do a custom kerning), then save it as a PDP (Photoshop PDF) to keep the direct type.

This does not mean that you can not do this by using a structure "sandwich" in ID - if you create the mask in Photoshop, you can use it in ID - but I don't see an easy way to get the mask of the right in Photoshop without going through the type as a reference, so why abandon it once you have it in the image? As a PDP with included type, it becomes a single unit that is easily manipulated.

The previous instructions were designed to help you understand the process of using the image layers to show or hide certain elements in InDesign, not to be a warrant that this is the best method for a particular job. For example if you knew that you wanted some fronds to cover the type and were not concerned with the trunks, which crosses, a hidden layer Slingshot in Photoshop allows to manipulate the type to identity card so that the sling him depend on the type of size and placement. This is the precise nature of the need the trunk to go strictly by the letter which would send me to Photoshop for all.

I guess this reinforces you apply masking, but personally, I don't like the trend toward applications of swiss army knife. InDesign is really good for making layout, and Photoshop is really good to make the manipulation of pixels. If you have included all this functionality in both programs, I think they would become unweildy. How many times have you actually want to do this kind of masking directly in a page layout? Would you give speed in other areas to get?

  • How the new Firefox look like the old Firefox?

    I was looking at the new version of Firefox and really don't like how it looks. If I update to it is there a way to make Firefox like the old? 3.6.24 is the version that I use now, and I like really what it looks like.

    You see the button refresh (Reload) as an icon of circle on the site of the right hand of the address next to the star of bookmark bar and the location bar drop historical marker.

    Firefox 4 and later versions use a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is placed at the right end of the address bar.

    During the process of loading page it shows as a stop button and once the charging button is replaced by a reload button.

    If you type in the address bar this button would then become a button go.

    Click the Reload button to duplicate the current tab in a new tab.

    To move the buttons Stop and recharge in the position to the left of the address bar, you can use the following steps:

    • Open the Customize via "view > toolbars > customize.
    • If the menu bar is hidden on Windows or Linux use "Firefox > Options > toolbars."
    • Drag the buttons Reload and stop at their previous position to the left of the address bar.
    • Set the "Reload - Stop" order for a combined "Stop/Reload" button.
    • Set the order of 'Stop - Reload' or separate them otherwise (space or separator) for two separate buttons.
  • How to get the latest version of Firefox on my PC? I hate the other that looks like it was designed for idiots.

    I hate it.

    Firefox is highly customizable, and you can be able to customize to meet your needs.

    If you don't like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details, see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6

    Downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first of all uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option 'remove my Firefox personal data '. If you select this option, it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.

    Then you can install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your favorite courses, passwords etc.

    I recommend, to avoid possible problems with decommissioning, accessing your profile folder and delete the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Delete these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, check their compatibility and cancel the toolbar customizations.

    For more information on how to find your profile folder, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • my printer prints in a weird format from the internet. Looks like lines of script rather than the regular format. any suggestions?

    Every time I have print an article from Internet Explorer, it prints like this...

    I don't know much about computers, but for me, it looks like lines of script.  Why it is not printing in regular format?  What can I do to fix this?

    Thank you!

    From my research, the problem may occur if IE7 isn't the web browser by default. I understand that you have tried to define default IE7. At this point, please follow the steps below to check if it:

    Step 1: Set default IE7 in IE options
    ========
    1. open Internet Explorer Page

    2. click on tools (usually in the upper right corner) and go down to Internet Options

    3 switch to the tab programs, click "Make default" under "Web browser by default" if IE is currently not the default browser.
    4. click on OK.

    Step 2: Set IE as default in Set Program Access and computer defaults
    ========
    1. click on start, and then click default programs (you can find it in the control panel if you do not have a shortcut on the start menu)
    2. click on "set program access and computer by default.
    3. Select custom, and then click to expand the options.
    4. Select "Internet Explorer" as default web browser, and then click OK.

    Step 3: Check the associated registry key
    ========
    1. Click Start, type regedit in the search box and press ENTER.
    2. navigate to the following key:

    Mand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut\Shell\print\com

    3. in the right pane, check that the (default) value data are defined as follows:

    "C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe" "C:\Windows\System32\mshtml.dll",PrintHTML "%1"

    4. exit the registry editor.

    Then, restart the computer in order to check the result.

  • I use 3.6. How can I get the update to look like this? I really don't want to use IE or MSN but if that's all that I have, then let me know. Thank you

    I use 3.6 because I like how it spans my toolbars instead of just me giving bookmarks in the corner and firefox solitaire in the opposite corner. I know that I can open the bookmarks bar, but it's not the same. I want that the file, editing, display, history, bookmarks, tools, help toolbar throughout. How can I get the new firefox to do this

    This should duplicate the image you posted what you look for Firefox 5 in (this application should be BLOCKED) double wire.

    Menu bar

    • Right click on a blank space at the end of the tab bar, click on 'Menu Bar' to place a check mark

    • Other methods of doing the same thing:
      • Click the Firefox button > Options, click on menu bar
      • Quickly activate/disable Menu bar, power: ALT + V + T + M

    Tabs on top

    • Right click on a blank space at the end of the tab bar, click "Tabs at the top" to remove the check mark
    • Tabs on top checked = tabs at the top toolbars
    • Tabs on top unchecked = tabs below the toolbars
    • Other methods of doing the same thing:
      • Click the Firefox button > Options, click on the tabs on top
      • Toggle Quick tabs on top on / off: ALT + V + T + T

    Separate the Reload / Stop button and the position of the Home button

    • Open the Customize; do one of the following:

      • Right click on the empty space at the end of the tab bar, choose "Customize".
      • Click the Firefox button > Options > toolbars
      • If you use the menu bar, click View > Toobars, click Customize
      • Quick open window customize: ATL + V + T + C
    • the buttons Reload and Stop appears distinct between the URL/address bar and the search bar. When the window customize is open, do one of the following categories, to separate the buttons:
      • Drag the button to the left of the Reload button
      • Drag a 'space' between the Reload and Stop buttons
      • Drag one or two buttons anywhere on the separated by a 'space' or another icon Navigation bar or reverse the order of Stop-Reload to keep them separated
    • Drag the button to the right of the search bar

    What tool is used to her face & hair & dress?

    It looks a bit like a painting of Photoshop technique called "smudging" who usually use the smudge tool.  Go to the Digital Photography Review Web site and on the retouching forum there.  Search on 'burrs' and you can find information.  The look can also probably be approached by using filters, but I don't know which.  It could dry working on a picture very sharp with the noise reduction filter, turned upward or the blur to a higher setting.  You can also approximate the brush mixer in Clone Mode.  Smudging is your best bet.

  • Windows Vista is not look right after the virus scan (looks like old fashioned)

    I ran a test and test of computer optimization after what my Windows Vista is very old looking shaped with square blocks and the screen seems also very dark. Can I make the screen brighter, but need to do this each time I start up. But my main thing is to get Windows Vista normal looking again. I tried updates, but not worked.

    Can someone give me some advice please?

    Hello

    I'm curious to know what it was: 'computer optimisation test '.

    Normally, you lose your Vista theme after the graphics drivers are not updated.

    That's why I was wondering what you were doing.

    Try this:

    Go to the website of your computer manufacturer > drivers download Section > then key in your computer model number > find your operating system > find two graphics / video or from the Chipset drivers and download and install.

  • Problem with the entire event looks like a bug

    Hello

    I got a requirement like this, there are two text fields Textfield1 and Textfield2 to say, and Textfield1 is full it should automatically go to textfield2 and fill the characters typed on the keyboard. I had this implemented using comprehensive event. If Textfield1 is full change focus to Textfield2.

    Now, I met a very strange question, i.e., the last character I enter Textfield1 won't Textfield2. His only full because is triggered to the key of the last character.

    I tried other alternatives did not work.

    Guys, now I do not understand is that true. Someone had the same problem.

    Thank you for all that you do.

    Yes, I used this script

    xfa.host.setFocus ("TextField2");   in my complete case. However, I could solve the problem by using newText and limiting the length to 50.

    Now I got a different question, that is, it does not work if I enter all uppercase the TextField1.

    Reason for the number of characters is different for upper and lower case. Don't know how to handle this.

    In addition, I expect to complete event can be a solution in this case, however if I use full event and you change the focus to new textfield the last key shot strays.

    Any help on this would be much appreciated...
