The best way to make a moving shadow on the text?

I was screwing around this afternoon and thought I'd try to make some movements of the shadow.  It doesn't seem to be easier than I expected.  You can see my results here; http://gtwebconcepts.com/Aptera/Misc/Shadow.html

Basically, I typed in a text and put layer1

Copied on layer 2 and put a filter drop shadow on it.

Then I hid the text so that only the shadow was showing and converted into a clip.

I did a small bulb and place it on the layer 3 and converted in a clip.

Created a Tween movement on layers 2 and 3.

The shadow layer that I free turned away from the light.

It seemed OK when I dragged through the time line, but the movie is terrible.  He is not correctly aligned with this horrible break in the middle of the interpolation (among others).

There must be a better way to do this.  Anyone care to enlighten us?

You can do using actionscript to control a drop shadow filter (which has a property of the angle that you can coordinate with the movement of a lamp).  Check the help under dropshadowfilter files.

    What is the best way to make a PDF file several Photoshop images, while retaining the layers in editable for later use mode? I tried to do in Acrobat, but it does not keep separate layers. I also tried to automate the PDF presentation in Photoshop, but it combines the layers as well. I need to enable layers from photoshop retain their ability to be edited.

    It is not possible at this time, Photoshop is not a page layout program and pdf is hardly a format suitable to hold several files psd layered or editable page layouts.

  • What is the best way to make the uniform skin (not necessarily blur it!)

    Hello

    I have some photos where the skin of the leg of the model is not uniform brighteness. Without this vagueness, I tried the clone stamp, but it is very difficult not to introduce new variations of brightness.

    What is the best way to make the uniform skin of brightness (in fact, the same color!)?

    Thank you

    Juan dent

    I know EXACTLY what you mean.  I was doing something exactly on these lines just yesterday.

    It is not trivial, but it is doable.

    For 'hard points', you can try the Spot Healing Brush first.

    But here is a tip that I use sometimes which may well increase overall finesse:

    1. select just the surface of the skin.

    2. selection a little market and soften the edge, just to make sure that you don't mess the edges.

    3. median filter - noise - and set the RADIUS to be big enough.  Look at the image to see the level of smoothing.

    4. change - bland and knock back effect, while it is not perfect, but makes a subtle improvement.

    Then, for clearing-up soft darkening, try the burn and Dodge tools, at a low level of exposure (and possibly with Airbrush Mode).  Work slow.

    Cloning with low opacity can sometimes help as well.

  • Best way to make my SSD works again with a single partition

    There are 2.5 years, I replaced the original on my computer with a SSD hard drive. Months after I installed the beta version of Yosemite, the latest operating system for Mac at the time. To do this, the system created a partition on my drive, in which he has installed the beta version of Yosemite.

    I have today on the same partition, I installed Yosemite, Sierra macOS running. In the other, I have all files, so I want to eliminate. However, when I try to do this by using the disk on my Mac utility, it is not possible; I get a message that says I can't delete the first volume of the disc. When I try to increase the size of the partition on which macOS Sierra operates, so reduced the size of the other, the system won't let me.

    I would like to know what is the best way to make my SSD works with only one partition.

    You cannot delete the last partition that was created, that not 1.

    You can clone the content from the 2nd to the 1st, then you can remove the 2nd.

    Aside from that, you can generate a lot of light and reflections by stacking multiple effects and working with duplicates of the layer - extract the highlights using levels or threshold, apply the directional blur etc., coloring with Ting, Tritone or Colorama, apply a layer of mixture of modes to the source...

  • What is the best way to make a second copy of a series of photos on a hard drive after that I imported and made changes?

    What is the best way to replace the second copies of photos created during import with revised versions? Export, seems to be an option, but is there a method named? I use Lightroom CC/6

    I don't think you understand the concept of Lightroom. The settings are stored in the catalog. They are not applied to the images. The catalog is the key. If the images in the main location are damaged or lost, then you can copy the backup images at that location and any adjustments that have been made will be implemented. The main thing you want to be sure to do is have a backup of your catalog, as well as a backup of your images. You can export copies of your images as JPEG, PSD or TIF images, and these copies will have all the adjustments included.

  • Best way to make a copy of a virtual machine in ESXi 4 and the free version of vSphere client

    Hello

    I have:

    ESXi 4 Update 1, vSphere 4.0 Build 208167, vmware converter 4.0.1 client build 16.12.34

    VM is Windows Server 2008 R2 Ent

    I'm trying to make a clone of a virtual machine for the purpose of creating one server of another out of it.  I use the converter and still after I have successfully connected to the virtual machine, I always get the error "Unable to get information about the selected machine material" when you click Next.

    My goal is to create a virtual machine.  Put an operating system on it, and then just use it as a model to create other virtual machines.  Is there a way to make that either is not involved or pay for an upgrade order lines?

    If it means order lines, could someone please go through the steps to achieve this?

    It would be great if I could understand why the converter does not work.  I heard I could drop-down list for version 3.0, but I could not find it available for download.

    Thank you!

    Name change is not necessary, as the vmdk files will be isolated in the new VM folder. If you want to rename on the concern of the Organization, you will need the vmkfstools on RCLI user, but I think really is not so necessary, so you do not use complicated distributions of disc inside your data store.

    About converter, I just wanted to know how you use it. Nevermind install again, I had kind of her. Check the settings change VM, on the Options tab, if the guest operating system is configured correctly. Even if this is the case, change to another, click ok and then configure it to the right and test to boost conversion.

  • best way to make the guests timeout?

    I use MX 2004, and I need timeout voiceover guests. What is the best way to accomplish the timing? I used onEnterFrame countdown timers, but, but I had mixed - they do not have to be too precise, just working with a few predictabillity. I also fear that using onEnterFrame can slow things down too.

    I tried to use setInterval directly and have the time range to clear himself, but it didn't. I also tried setTimeout function of Senocular who uses setInterval, but it works only once, same kind of thing, I've tried in simpler form. I tried different things and now I'm all confuzzled - they sometimes work and sometimes not. I should probably start from zero (new), but times are looming and I can't think straight - I'm just a little thrasing autour - I also tried a 'status quo' loop, but then I get a "slow script" warning

    I think part of the problem is that I have a voice-over as guests and they are not finished at the time that the interval is disabled. I have them preloaded in a swf file and load the film like this.

    The tips are greatly appreciated, TIA!

    setInterval() always works and is fairly accurate, except if you need nearby 10 accuracy Ms (in which case you can fix setInterval to maintain the precise timing).

    any problem with your intervals of compensation is a problem coding and encoder.

    I need my site be multilingual and I was wondering what is the best approach for this. Sites will be identical with the changing text from one language to another.

    Hi David,

    You can copy the pages and all of its contents will be copied to. You can then change the text to the desired language. In order to link the pages to other pages of language, you must add the hyperlink on the pages for the pages in your preferred language.

  • What is the best way to make a sort of table?

    Hello world

    Twice a year, our magazine prints financial reports for our Organization. The layout is always exactly the same thing: the only thing that changes are the numbers. I have the exactly how I want. The workflow easier (but less efficient) was to manually replace the numbers each time, typing hand.

    I was wondering if there was something of a slick way to automate this process. Financial data is delivered in a native Excel file. I was wondering if I could set up some sort of thing where InDesign can read raw data from another application?

    No matter what come to mind?

    Thank you

    You import text from excel, it is a table.

    As long as the table has the exact same lines and columns, in the same configuration.

    You can convert the table to text, insert a TAB for the separation of the columns and the paragraph for columns when asked

    You can then copy and paste the text in the table.

  • Best way to make a menu that appears on all pages and it's easy to add links to later?

    Hi everyone, first post on the forums.  I am very new with Dreamweaver and creating web pages in general, so patient with me

    Here's what I want to do:

    1 make a website with a menu bar on the left, with about 30 links.

    2. all range from 30 links to different pages on the same Web site, and every page has the same specific provision, only the body of the text is different (same placement of advertisement, menu, etc.).

    3. I want to be able to add links to this menu, quickly and easily.

    In other words, I basically want to do just a static menu that appears the same way on every page of my site.

    Now, how I think is the best to do is to perform a menu its own page (in its own framework?) and just every page on my site for this menu link, so that whenever I want to update the menu, I have not updated the static menu on every page of my site only the a menu.html or something else.

    This is probably the easiest to do in the world thing and I'm probably not using appropriate terminology or anything either, but I hope that I myself have explained clearly.

    Please respond if you have any ideas on how to achieve this.  Thank you!

    Personally, I'd go with a php include.

    I used these charges on my site for the menu, side bar infor and headers/footers. They are dead easy to install and manage and will do exactly what you need.

    simply design your menu is a separate php file (with absolutelu nothing but the menu inside)

    then in the desired position of the menu to appear in your script to
