Photoshop :: Free Plug-ins Ezine (call For Submissions)
Jul 11, 2007
Issue #9 of Plugs 'N Pixels is ready! You'll notice I've started a new Featured Artists section, so if you do image manipulation with Photoshop plug-ins, please consider contributing your work for publication and worldwide exposure. There is no cost or payment for this service.
I just finished creating a goodie for you -- a free 2007 Plugs 'N Pixels calendar! You can print it out if desired. It's in PDF format, 11x17 at 144ppi (2.8 megs).
Can someone tell me the name of these accent, swirly things? I am looking at using them in a design and want to find some custom shapes that look like these or a font that has them.
I need to to make a few procedures on photos on a programme that I'm developing with visual basic. Is it possible to call photoshop procedures from my programme to ex: sharpen, redeyeremove, up brightness...
I am setting this function in my compositionready and I want to call it from different places. That works fine but I also want to run myFunction() when the program launches.
I'm using PSP 8. What is the easiest way to place call outs, if that's the right term?
Ideally I'd like to be able to select a rounded, shadowed rectangle with the arrow appropriately positioned (top, bottom, left, right) and of adjustable length, insert the text (typically a single letter or number), and then be able to group these so that I could drag the callout into the required position. I might need to place 10 or 20 on each of several maps, so it needs to be very simple and fast.
I've never properly used 'Picture Tubes' although I have a feeling that would be one way to achieve this. But the images built in to PSP 8 do not include any callouts. Maybe it's best done from first principles, making a set of shapes first and saving them (in empty form) as individual files, positioning them and then finally adding the letter/number separately?
Whenever I start up 2012, I get this error: Type error: Interface method call requires MAXClass, got: undefined..What does this mean and how can I fix it? Once I hit "OK", max seems to run fine.
I have this section call out which I modify from default autocad library but the problem I have is that when I scale it to factor of 48 (1/4"=1" drawing) my text is supposed to be 4.5 in and is 4.62. Likewise for scale factor of 96 is 9.24 in as supposed to 9.0 in. HOW GET THE RIGHT TEXT SIZE?
I use multiple layouts to produce build drawings and I use the name of the layout tab to identify the sheet on the shop floor.
I currently use a field in the titleblock that calls the system variable ctab, the problem is that whenever you update the fields, they all change to the name of the current tab, not the name of their own tab (by default, when you open the drawing, they all say Model).
I resort to building all of the layouts and converting that field to text prior to printing.
Currently i'm doing automations for Adobe Illustrator CS4. I have created some actions due to the limitations of scripting in Illustrator. I need to call this actions through javascript.But in applescript i can able to call the actions by using the do script method.
I'm writing a script to create a new AI document with a restricted swatchbook. The designer is supposed to use only the swatches/inks provided by this script. So far I was able to delete all current swatches and add a CMYK or RGB spotcolor swatch.
var inkt02 = app.activeDocument.spots.add(); inkt02.name = 'inkt 2'; inkt02.colorType = ColorModel.SPOT; var kleur02 = new CMYKColor(); kleur02.black = 10; kleur02.cyan = 80; kleur02.magenta = 0; kleur02.yellow = 90; inkt02.color = kleur02; var newSpotColor = new SpotColor(); newSpotColor = inkt02; newSpotColor.tint = 100; thePallet.addSpot(newSpotColor);
Often we will be dealing with Pantone colors. No need to define these, as they are inside AI already, right? But how to call them from the library? I'm new to ExtendScript.
Say you need a slightly more sophisticated animation and used a CreateJS from Flash.I've placed the CreateJS in a container, and I've been able to communicate from CreateJS to Edge symbol with no problem:
/* js this.onClick = function () { var comp = $.Edge.getComposition("EDGE-25177479"); var stage = comp.getStage(); stage.getSymbol("logo").play("playLogo"); }
But how do it the other way, and create a function from within Edge to call upon the CreateJS canvas ("myCanvas")?I want to call a "gotoAndPlay("start");" label on the main timeline of the canvas element. My syntax is completely wrong:
//on click var canvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas"); var context = canvas.getContext("2d"); stage.gotoAndPlay("start");
I have several animations converted to symbols and I want the composition to call one at random on load. These will be page header animations and my intension is use the same composition on each page that pulls an animated header at random when the page loads. I've done this with Flash using Actionscript but not sure how to code it out in Edge.
I am currently in the process of re-writing my VBA in .net.In VBA I successfully used AcadDocument_BeginClose which called lisp functions.It would be nice to have all code in the same environment I need to transition my changes.
Therefore I need to call lisp from .net.My function works well when run withing the cad files session but does not appear to call the lisp when called after the BeginDocumentClose.
Is it possible to call a lisp function after the BeginDocumentClose event?
I have been trying for weeks and still cat get it to work. I am trying to make my drag out leader to look like a pline with a width of 0 on one side and a width of 4 on the other for civil 3d 2012. See attached .
Is it possible to get a Limit/Fit tolerance included in a Hole Note call out, such as H7 etc?
Currently, when I am dimensioning Counter Bore holes, I have to use a general dimension for CBore dia incuding the Limit/Fit tolerance and manually add the hole dia (or visa versa). This means I have to manually update any changes to hole dia.
I want my custom property to defined as item #. That Item # then is represented in the balloon.
reasoning is that then engineers wont have to check drawings anymore for the guess work involved in matching the part balloon to each individual part in the assembly being called out.
I can then focus on creating a BOM that shows the different item#'s and the user can quickly go through it.
