Silly question base - making a circle with transparent bg makes me crazy!

Okay, disclaimer clause - I have been using an older version of elements and just upgraded to Photoshop CS5 Extended.  All I want to do is:

(1) create a circle of a logo.

(2) add text and shadow.

(3) make transparent bg.

Why am I the white line around the circle?  (The circle will be the logo.  Now it is a 240 x 240 gif is floating above the header using CSS).

Thank you

Gary

In addition to advice for Christmas, there is no need to rasterize the shape layer

to change the color, simply double-click on the solid fill color to change the color

of your circle. Also move your shape above the white layer Layer and turn it off

visibility or remove the white background layer before you save it as a png-24 format.

You can also try Image > Trim to crop circle. Choose the transparent pixels

Image > dialogue Trim.

  • Flashing symbols on startup: apple logo, circle with slash, folder with question mark

    I tried to delete personal files on my MacBook (late 2008) to trade. During this process, the computer lost some function when deleting some documents; would not open apps but app could bounce constantly once selected and would not restart or shut down, had to manually hold the power button to turn off.

    When I turned it back after a few minutes a blue splash screen came as normal then symbol of Apple but then started blinking circle with slash to Apple to the circle and then to the folder with question mark. This continued for more than 45 minutes + and whenever I try to turn it off and restart it manually.

    I tried the following:

    -Trying to access the disk now command + R to start utility

    -Unplug the charger and take out the battery and put back in

    -holding SHIFT while symbols are flashing

    I can't check what OS I currently use but care I have the computer are as follows:

  • Basic question, duplicate a circle with javascript

    Hello. I am trying to build something like a bubble using javascript. I'm new to scripting for Illustrator but I used javascript before so I thought it would be simple, but maybe I'm missing some basics here.

    I use Illustrator CS6. I created a blank document and drew a circle with a line of 1 black and not filling. The selection of this circle, I have my script to copy and paste in front and increase its radius of one centimeter. I first tried a simple duplication:

    If (app.documents.length > 0) {}

    var numberOfItems = 3;

    var app.activeDocument.selection = selectedItem;

    for (i = 0; i < numberOfItems; i ++) {}

    newItem = selectedItem.duplicate ();

    }

    }

    With my selected circle, I get error message saying "error 24: selectedItem.duplicate () is not a function". What I am doing wrong?

    Thank you in advance.

    Thanks for all the help, is my code so far:

    If (app.documents.length > 0) {}

    var newItem;

    var numberOfItems = 3;

    var radiusIncrease = new UnitValue ("1 cm") .as ("px");

    var app.activeDocument.selection = selectedItem;

    for (i = 0; i< numberofitems;="" i++)="">

    newItem = selectedItem [0] .duplicate ();

    newItem.height += radiusIncrease;

    newItem.width += radiusIncrease;

    selectedItem [0] = newItem;

    }

    }

    Everything what I need now is at the center of the circles, but I've really tapped into that yet, and if I run into difficulties, I'll start a new thread

    Again, thank you.

    If you have no Windows CD, you can not do a repair installation.

    If you have no Windows CD, the message from the moderator of the Forum Nicholas_W will not help you either.

    If the disk verification fails, there is no sense to try a repair installation because the file system was obviously some problems that must be fixed first (at least that is what I think).

    Wouldn't you want some ideas that actually work?

    The error:

    STOP: 0 X 00000024 0 X 00190203 0X82F42108, 0XC0000102, 0X00000000

    indicates a problem with your NTFS file system.  You can usually solve this by running chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console.

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes the plug pulling, buttons power and removing the battery).

    These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

    If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

    Here's how:

    Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  • I refine my selection brush tip is a circle with a line through it

    I don't know what is happening, but every time Adobe updated the program happens something evil. I use edge tool I refine my selection for years and now with the last update from last night, it does not work.

    • I make my selection then click on refine edge
    • This opens the dialog box
    • I select the overlay as my display mode
    • Then select the RADIUS tool refine

    Instead of the normal work with any brush I get is a circle with a line through it, so I can't say anything.

    Have they added a new switch that automatically prevents the user to use this tool now? Worked fine a few days before the last update.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    The biggest problem with these questions is they always happen when you change a photoshoot and cost ridiculous amounts of time and frustration and to prevent on time delivery.

    I guess that Yes JJMack, but to reinstall everything is a pain in the occipital region. I'm on CC and as updates come just click to install. Refining the edges of the selection is such a basis now that I'm surprised that that happened.

    Finally, I called Adobe and solved it. The tech told me that with a few updates the "user settings" file is corrupt.

    He would do a total reset but of course I'm worried of losing work spaces I had worked to build so it copied those on the desktop, then named the settings file... "old"and challenged market PS

    Who have to rebuild the settings file, and we tried again and still had the problem, so he tried a second time and on that one edge tool refine magically started working again.

    My workspaces were rmoved to the right folder and these work now too.

    Now, I can get this finished filming.

    Kind regards

  • a silly question on vCPUs

    Hello

    I'm sure this is a silly question on processors for a virtual machine but, I'm not entirely positive that I have correct and want just a confirmation.

    I have a server with 2 processors to 6 hearts of each.  or 12 cores in total in the server.

    When setting up a virtual machine and it lists the number of processors to give him, he's talking full processors or Cores?

    for example if I do a VM CPU 1, is it gets access to 1 core or 6 hearts?

    Thank you

    Ian

    IF the server is running multi-threads apps up-to-date, I give only 2 vCPU to begin with.

    Normal SOP for the creation of the new VM is to assign a single vCPU first, adding more only IF it is required as evidenced by poor performance with just one vCPU (over time). I have yet to find any VM (especially when created fresh and correctly) who has been really having more than 2 vCPU assigned to her.

    When you assign a vCPU virtual machine, it comes to carrots, no shells.

    Hello guys,.

    I have problem very stange (am have been strugling with four hours), I'm desperate and I hope I'll find help here. Thanks in advance...

    Here's the deal... I created this shape in photoshop (see the image attached). It's 6 circles with equal to 47 alpha / then I merged the circles and applied degraded (#f7c105 to #f4480b) and the angle set - 145

    Now, I try to recreate this shape in Illustrator... As you can see the image it sympathy ' e close but not the same thing. I do not know how to merge circles but to preserve transparency and then set the gradient.

    If someone has an idea, I'll be very grateful.

    Thank you.
