question very simple-how to fill a shape I draw with color

Hello. I'm new to photoshop and have a lot of trouble to choose no matter what form that I shoot. I'm doing a tutorial that is to fill a gray canvas, then by drawing a small white rectangle inside the largest canvas/rectangle gray. (I have not forgotten to unlock the bottom).

My question: How can I select and fill (white) the second rectangle I draw over a gray rectangle?

In general, I can not understand how to select or fill any shape I draw using the rectangle tool. Similarly, the forms of brand tools are no help because I can't my gray rectangle to select and fill it with a white fill inspired brand. I also tried to use a "layer of filling.

I'm almost certain that something is wrong with my computer (I have reset), but still I have not used photoshop in over a year. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The Rectangle sgould tool create a work path, to shape layer or fill pixel according to the settings in the Options bar.

The rectangular selection tool should create a selection that you could edit > fill or use it as a layer of a solid color layer mask.

Could you please post a screenshot with the relevant panels visible?

  • How to fill out the "to:" line with a variable email address?

    I'm new to coding and am not sure how to ask my question. I have a link in an 'Email' symbol that I would like to have the window open to a 'mailto', but there are several instances of that symbol on the timeline, each using a different email address. If the [symbol]. Email.Click code reads as follows:

    Window.Open ('mailto:'+ sym.getVariable = ("emailWindow"), "_self")

    and the line in the Stage.creationComplete code that is supposed to call the variable code reads:

    sym.getSymbol("Details_David").$("Email").html ("[email protected]" "").setVariable("emailWindow","[email protected]");

    With this code, the browser opens a window of mailto, but the ' to: ' line readings, "indefinite".

    Either in the [symbol]. Email code. Click, I have:

    Window.Open('mailto:"emailWindow"',"_self")

    without the "emailWindow" as the variable name, the "to:" line to the mailto line reads, "emailWindow".

    How to fill out the "to:" line with a variable email address?

    Otherwise, it works better:

    1)

    replace

    sym.getSymbol("Details_David").$("Email").html ("[email protected]").setVariable("emailWindow", "mailto:[email protected]");

    with

    sym.getSymbol("Details_David").$("Email").html ("[email protected]");

  • How to fill a shape with a picture

    How can I create a form then fill with a picture?

    PageMaker is a tool of frame of image with the ability to create basic shapes, rectangles, circles, ellipses and some polygons. There is a limited ability to change forms. Once you have created the form, then you can import the photo as part of the form. The other way to do is to create the shape in Photoshop using a clipping path, then place this image in pagemaker.

  • Question very Simple

    All-

    I installed Photoshop CS5 the other day and was very impressed by it.  The only thing that I am "missing" is the outline of the elements, I am in the process of selection.  For example, in previous versions if I used the rectangular selection tool to make a selection of everything I was selection was the boarder/plan dotted around it while making the selection.  As soon as I release the left button of the mouse, I can see the selection I made now has a boarder/outline around him.  I wish I could see this plan while I am dragging/make the selection.  Where in CS5 enable this?

    Thank you

  • How to fill out a sparse table with zero

    Hi all

    I have a sparse table, most of the cells is null, but few of the cells is '1 '.

    I would like to fill the null with zero.

    This table is to rotate a transactional table into a table that describes the attributes and later for data mining


    I think so

    (1) make a user_tab_columns and copy / paste to make a script using NVL

    for example

    Select ' NVL('|| column_name ||) «, 0, » || column_name |'),' of user_tab_columns
    where lower (table_name) = "claims_t1".

    but I have a problem

    for example

    create or replace view claims_t2x
    as
    Select
    NVL ("Diagnostic Imaging' _SPEC_SUM, 0," Diagnostic Imaging' _SPEC_SUM) 'Diagnostic Imaging' _SPEC_SUM
    Of
    claims_t1

    I get the error ORA-00911: invalid character

    as the name of the column got ' ' ' in there.



    or

    Use 2) PL/SQL


    I just do a select and loop through all



    For 2), I don't know how I can get all the column attribute.
    As the attribute in the table operation is not fix so the number of column after swivelling isn't fix


    any idea?

    You can use nvl pivot by naming the values in quotes like that.

    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW emp_v1 AS
    WITH pivot_data
         AS (SELECT deptno,
                    JOB,
                    sal
               FROM emp)
    SELECT JOB,
           NVL ("10", 0) AS "10",
           NVL ("20", 0) AS "20",
           NVL ("30", 0) AS "30",
           NVL ("40", 0) AS "40"

  • How to fill a hidden form field with a value passed in another page

    I use PHP/MySQL and DW CS4.

    I'm trying to get the foreign key to a table and include it in a hidden field in a form to another table.

    The user selects a 'need' to a list and is taken to a new page that displays the need selected in the previous page and a form that the user can fill out with details of its offer, there is also a hidden field in the form that contains the index to the table needs, this hidden field retains the external key. Most of the code works, except to fill the hidden field with the external key. I proved (by printing it on the screen) that I got the external key and stored in a variable ($saveNeedId). I am unable to do so, what affect this variable in the hidden field in the form, I'm about to be stored in a table. Sometimes, I have zero and sometimes I get the index of the first necessity in the table. It should be simple but I can't make it work, I must be missing something obvious - still very new to PHP.

    The following code sets the variable and display for test purposes

    $saveNeedId = "-1";
    If (isset($_GET['needId'])) {}
    $saveNeedId = $_GET ['needId"];
    print $saveNeedId;
    }

    Here is the code that implements the fields hidden in the form, where I'm putting in place is the first one, needId

    < input type = "hidden" name = "needId" value = "<?" PHP echo $row_rsNeedsUnmet ["needId'];? ">" / >
    < input type = "hidden" name = "offerId" value = "" / > "
    < input type = "hidden" name = "MM_insert" value = "form1" / >

    The page where the user sees the list of needs is here www.hollisterairshow.com/weneed.php

    I would really appreciate sone help with this, I tried all combinations of double quote, percent sign and nothing works... sigh.

  • How to print a black line drawing in color when creating a PDF doc

    Hi all!

    I have a b & logo W which is the simple line drawing.  I do a few header where all the text is in blue, and I want to do the logo of the same shade of blue.  While the lines, shapes and text can be easily customized in Acrobat or even in the word, I can not understand how to change the color of an object perceived as an image.  I think that if it can be done in Acrobat format, it can probably be done in Photoshop or Illustrator.  But my ability to those very limited to non-existent.  I'll try InDesign in any case because I open and edit a PageMaker document and stole my computer with PM (my favorite of all time program).  I trained at PM and has become expert enough in it, and I thought it will be not too difficult to pick up Ideas, but I have not yet tried.  I have used PS for a basic photo cropping but have never been trained in or in Illustrator and when I open programs and see all these tools around the perimeter, I'm lost, and none of them seem to be what I need!

    No time now to find the tutorials before completing this stationery.

    Any kind soul could help with a quick intruction on how to do this?

    Thank you

    Cathy

    [Left the forum Cloud/Installer generic for program specific forum... MOD]

    If the logo is really a raster image, you need a program like Photoshop for image editing. If this is the vector, use an edition of such vectors Illustrator program. No, unless it's a little bit unique by monochrome image pixel, there is nothing you can do with this in InDesign at all.

  • How can I add two very simple Questions to a slide?

    Hello

    I would like to be able to add two very simple questions to a slide, but don't know if (or how) this can be achieved. I've explained this more in detail below:

    ====================================================================================

    Scenario of

    The slide must contain two questions:

    Question 1: with two check boxes for the options Yes and No

    Question 2: with five check boxes for options 1 2 3 4 and 5

    A button (for example named Submit) to verify the responses from users by triggering a tip Action that verifies the radio buttons that have been selected.

    ====================================================================================

    The checkbox Widget looks like it could work for this scenario, because it allows each value to be assigned to a variable. However, when you try to put in place the tip Action I couldn't see all the variables I named in the checkbox Widget.


    If anyone has done this kind of thing before and can offer advice on the best way to create custom questions, I'd appreciate any help.


    For reference, I use 8 Captivate.


    Thank you


    Ross

    I indeed used interactions of checkboxes or radio buttons many times for this kind of slides. That's why I'm confused and I first want to know if you want an answer to the second issue as well? For the first question, it is clear that you need an interaction of option buttons, I don't know if you want to allow more than one choice for the second question. Only when you need to allow more than a choice will you have the interaction of check boxes, in the other scenario, option buttons will do the trick. It makes a big difference, because the radio button widget has only one associated variable that will store the selected element. For the widget checkboxes, you need a variable for each choice.

    Maybe my blog could help clarify, you can also download a descriptive table with all interactions of CP8 training
