With the Selection tool over new layer but becomes "the selected area is empty."

I have been working on an image in PS and I have a number of layers.  First of all, several adjustment layers.  Then I do various clean ups (especially with the cloning tool).  I make a selection and then create a new layer.  I'm on one of the layers again, I made a selection to move a part of the image, hit command-J but this time I get the error message: "could not make a new layer from the selection because the selection is empty.  I understand the error but what would you suggest to go ahead?

Here is a picture of my current layers:

    How do you create the new layer? Looks like you have a selection and use ctrl/cmd-J. If you have a choice and it is empty, you will get this error.

  • Align WPF elements with the plot area

    Is there a recommended way to align WPF elements outside the graph with the plot area? I like my UI align the left edge of area of land. Another use case is lining up outside elements with a RangeCursor.

    The way we do now is to add a canvas as a child of the graph. The canvas contains a hidden Visual position ourselves with Canvas.SetLeft using values calculated from the graph margin and padding. Then, we call PointToScreen (new Point (0,0)) on the display. It works most of the time, but the position of the Visual sort of trolling the real edge graphic when the y-axis range changes (and a few other changes axis, that I've not completely nailed down). By calling UpdateLayout on the display when the range changes, I can make it work most of the time, but when I do that, I find that I spend a lot of time CPU in the user interface thread to this appeal.

    Currently, the graph does not directly expose the offset of the plot area in the border of the control. Your method of using a nested Visual to calculate the offset appears as a reasonable approach with the current API. I created a quick mock-up using this approach for certain forms of referring to the plot area and a range slider:

    Code
        public partial class MainWindow : Window {
            private static readonly Range RelativeRange = new Range( 0.0, 1.0 );

    public MainWindow( ) {
                InitializeComponent( );

    rangeCursor.HorizontalAxis = xAxis;
                rangeCursor.VerticalAxis = yAxis;
            }

    private void OnGraphLayoutUpdated( object sender, EventArgs e ) {
                UpdateAlignment( );
            }

    private void UpdateAlignment( ) {
                Size size = graph.RenderSize;
                if( size.Width <= 0.0 || size.Height <= 0.0 )
                    return;

    // Get reference point to canvas in bottom-left corner of graph.
                var referenceTransform = referenceVisual.TransformToVisual( graph );
                Point graphBottomLeft = referenceTransform.Transform( new Point( ) );

    // Apply margin to size and bottom-left reference point.
                Thickness margin = graph.Margin;
                size.Width += margin.Left + margin.Right;
                size.Height += margin.Top + margin.Bottom;
                graphBottomLeft.X += margin.Left;
                graphBottomLeft.Y += margin.Top;

    // Calculate top-right reference point.
                Size plotAreaSize = graph.GetPlotAreaSize( );
                Point graphTopRight = new Point(
                    graphBottomLeft.X + plotAreaSize.Width,
                    graphBottomLeft.Y - plotAreaSize.Height );

    // Get reference points for range cursor within plot area.
                var horizontalRange = rangeCursor.GetRelativeHorizontalRange( ) ?? RelativeRange;
                var verticalRange = rangeCursor.GetRelativeVerticalRange( ) ?? RelativeRange;
                Point cursorBottomLeft = graph.RelativeToScreen( new Point( horizontalRange.Minimum, verticalRange.Minimum ) );
                Point cursorTopRight = graph.RelativeToScreen( new Point( horizontalRange.Maximum, verticalRange.Maximum ) );
                cursorBottomLeft.X += graphBottomLeft.X;
                cursorBottomLeft.Y += graphTopRight.Y;
                cursorTopRight.X += graphBottomLeft.X;
                cursorTopRight.Y += graphTopRight.Y;

    // Set margin to align graph and cursor visuals.
                graphTopRectangle.Margin = new Thickness { Left = graphBottomLeft.X, Right = size.Width - graphTopRight.X };
                graphLeftRectangle.Margin = new Thickness { Top = graphTopRight.Y, Bottom = size.Height - graphBottomLeft.Y };

  • OSPF in VRF with the same area ID.

    Hi all

    On a PE MPLS/VPN router, I configured OSPF as the routing PE Protocol / THIS.

    I configured several OSPF (one for each VRF) process.

    But if I have several customers who use the same ID in OSPF area on the side, can I set up the same area ID for multiple OSPF processes on the side of PE? Of course, all these areas are independent and I don't want to see customer1 routes into the OSPF customer2!

    In the following example, I have 2 clients. Each client has 2 sites and has a backbone OSPF area which spreads across 2 sites. For each customer, I want to interconnect its 2 sites and extend the dorsal area OSPF MPLS.

    Customer1 OSPF backbone area is different from that of customer2, although the ID is the same...

    Here is an example of configuration of the EP:

    G0/1 interface

    IP vrf forwarding customer1

    10.1.1.1 IP address 255.255.255.0

    !

    G0/2 interface

    IP vrf forwarding customer2

    10.1.2.1 IP address 255.255.255.0

    !

    !

    router ospf 1 vrf customer1

    Network 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

    !

    router ospf 2 vrf customer2

    Network 10.1.2.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

    Will not have problems if I use the same area ID here?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello Sam,.

    You will not face any problem because you have configured cust1 and cust2 under vrf instance in ospf. There will be no

    mix with cust1 cust2 roads.

    In addition to this, also set up the id of the field (a 32 unique ip address) under process ospf for each customer. The reason why if you configure the ospf process

    ID 1 for cust1 at the end and if configure you the process id 2 for the same client on the spread of roads from start to finish B will be considered

    inter-area at the B end

    router ospf 1 vrf customer1

    field id 1.1.1.1 OSPF > keep this even to this vrf on each site

    Network 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

    Hope this is useful

    Concerning

    Mahesh

  • Why microsoft has so many technical problems with the Gaming area?

    The site is down a few times more than 72 hours in a row.  There was opportunities, that the site went down every other day for a week.   The page that opens after the servers have been can be improved.  Error messages its users the impression that this is a technical error with their equipment.  This only promotes the frustrations of users because they spend hours trying to solve a problem that never existed.  Players are NEVER kept in the loop. Updates on Facebook are not and some who are regular users of the game area are forced to explore other sites of games because of that.  Microsoft has the best games around.  It would be a shame if they lose all their followers to a competitor.

  • Firefox hangs at random, even with all extensions disabled and new profile, but not in safe mode

    From about 2 weeks ago, Firefox has been crashing. Accidents is seemingly random, but normally occurs when several pages/tabs are opened. In addition, all observed accidents occurred in the middle of some operations of the user. If I leave it just opened (and responsible), he would never crash even after a long period.

    Also, accidents happen even once all extensions are disabled manually. However, it seems not to happen in Mode without failure.

    After each accident, in the crash report dialog box, the 'Détails' report would not respond. However I can open reports using the command about: crashes.

    Before the accident would happen, sometimes evil-following behaviors may be observed:

    • Firefox fails to render characters CJK, their view as a rather square boxes
    • Ideogram IME(Namely Google Pinyin, an IME for Simplified Chinese) is no longer can be enabled in Firefox, on a Web page element, or on the UI of Firefox itself (i.e. the address bar or the search bar)

    The following has been tried but no luck:

    • Disable all extensions manually
    • Start a new profile
    • Reset Firefox
    • Uninstall/reinstall Firefox
    • Beta version of FX, 14 to 15, and then to 16

    Hello Rainarrow, other users who have recently updated the graphics driver for their ati hardware (for the version of catalyst ati 12.8) reported similar accidents. Please try disabling hardware acceleration in firefox > options > advanced > General & see if that solves the problem of frequent accidents at the moment.

  • Page with the content as virtually empty in Firefox 3

    Hello

    I'm testing my beginner-draft-very-simple-and-basic Web site in various browsers on Windows XP and Mac OS 10.5. So far, he has involved in Internet Explorer 7, Chrome 1 and 3 of Firefox on Windows XP (emulated on my Mac) and Safari 4 and Firefox 3 on Mac OS X. Funnily enough, my site will appear virtually empty on Firefox, be it XP or Mac OS X, although it seems as planned (with minor differences) on other browsers. I have attached a few screenshots (I can't put the source somewhere that I have not worked out how to do it again).

    I'm a little surprised at this result. I expect IE to give me endless trouble (he does but so far within acceptable limits), not Firefox. I am totally new to Web site, so I have no idea as to why this happens. Is it because of my system set in place or is it just a browser issue? How can this problem be fixed?

    Thanks for any comments,

    Emilie

    P.S.: In the screenshots below, Firefox on Mac OS is same as Firefox on XP (not attached).
