JohnB

Matt_2.0

Yisela

Matt_2.0

yes

Yisela

Matt_2.0

on the right

JohnB

1:50 AM

Matt_2.0

Matt_2.0

JohnB

Subject: We got hacked

> Sorry for the inconvenience! Our email seems to have been hacked. Ignore anything relating to a raspberry whatever.

and I have never heard from the person e-mailing me before

Yisela

Matt_2.0

[unicorns rainbows glitter]

Yisela

oh well

Matt_2.0

Yisela

2:01 AM

Matt_2.0

JohnB

Matt_2.0

Yisela

@JohnB LOL at pics

JohnB

oooo ho hoooo you did the super mod delete

OH CRAP I FORGOT ATTRIBUTION

ty for reminding me :D

Yisela

well.. I didn't, but np!

JohnB

2:24 AM

I am glad you approve of my choice :D

Matt_2.0

spam assassin for the win

JohnB

can you edit the DPI of a PS document once it is created without changing the pixel dimensions?

Matt_2.0

oh bummer Tony Soprano died =(

JohnB

yeah saw that =\

you know a way around this @Matt_2.0?

1

A: With Photoshop CS5, how do you retain original size of an image dropped as a file into an open document?

This is because of the difference in DPI between the image you are placing and the DPI of your document. Here I've placed a 350 DPI image on a 72 DPI document: But if I place the same image on a 350 DPI document (same pixel dimensions, compare the rulers of each document): How you can fix ...

I am always weary of saying something is not possible in Photoshop, I'm anticipating someone swooping in to prove how wrong I am :D

Yisela

yeah, me too

I don't know that much

Matt_2.0

2:29 AM

be better to do that as a smart object

Yisela

was thinking about the CC images

if we have editable pages in the Help center, that would be a great place to add this

JohnB

@Matt_2.0 Doesn't it automatically get placed as a smart object when you drag and drop it in?

@Yisela oooh good idea

Yisela

@JohnB we don't know when that's gonna happen

maybe when we graduate

I don't think it's working for anyone

Matt_2.0

not exactlly

Yisela

but considering we have different requirements, it wouldn't be that difficult to maybe add that page

Matt_2.0

2:30 AM

if its an image I dont think it will

JohnB

@Yisela I thoughttttt it was rolling out network wide ...."soon". I think it is only live on MSO for now

they are de-buggifying

@Matt_2.0 Ah, there's an option in Preferences actually

"Place or drag Raster objects as Smart Objects"

Matt_2.0

yep

havent dont it in awhile so..

JohnB

actually Illustrator does some weird stuff when you paste raster objects too

sometimes it makes them huuuuuuge

I think

I forget. Something quirky

Matt_2.0

illustrator should only be used for print ;)

JohnB

Photoshop should only be used for photos ;)

(this is a battle I am going to lose)

Yisela

2:35 AM

haha

Matt_2.0

and web, lol

Yisela

I second the web statement

JohnB

I am withholding my fierce disagreement for the sake of tranquility

Matt_2.0

debate debate debate

Yisela

jgervin just edited this question

JohnB

2:36 AM

oh dear

are all the answers void now -_-

Matt_2.0

I deleted my answer because he doesnt make sence

Yisela

no

it's actually the same

it's just 'blurrier'

shall we invite him to chat?

Matt_2.0

you holding a gun?

JohnB

sure, how do we do that

Yisela

just leave a comment ;)

Matt_2.0

2:37 AM

hey @<!--

JohnB

oh I thought there was some neat way

how come your profile says something like "Has invited 3 people to chat!"

what's that mean

Yisela

wut

Matt_2.0

hey @jgervin come to chat

Yisela

haha

well, going for my 4th!

JohnB

@Matt_2.0 nice try :P

Matt_2.0

2:38 AM

JohnB

doesn't work that way

mods can do it, it's called a super-ping

but I'm scared to use it o_o

chat.stackexchange.com/users/27063/yisela

Matt_2.0

well my bad

JohnB

see look

Yisela

o_O

I have no idea

JohnB

wait maybe only mods can see this

and now I am revealing information I shouldn't be

Matt_2.0

2:39 AM

mod rub in I see

Yisela

I've shared the link, but it's weird that the system is saving that info

oh John, you broke the sacred oath

JohnB

I have sent 1 invite apparently

Yisela

please return your mod hat and badge

JohnB

I don't know how I did that because I don't remember doing it

:(

Yisela

Matt_2.0

2:40 AM

would it be bad to add this:♦ after my name, lol

Yisela

we have the tiny door of shame for that

you probably can't, but give it a try :D

JohnB

@Matt_2.0 I've always wondered that...I'm sure someone would get mad

Yisela

viva la anarquia!

JohnB

live theeeeeeeeeeeee

Matt_2.0

I thought I was doing great at shamming this site?

JohnB

2:41 AM

anarchist life?

Yisela

we can always change it back and suspend you

yeah, anarchy

JohnB

wow I could practically live in South America

look at me go

Yisela

haha

Matt_2.0

im just a guy looking to finish some websites

JohnB

40 websites o.o

Matt_2.0

2:42 AM

hey no.. right now 10 Im working on

JohnB

or 1 Matt apparently

Yisela

haha

Matt_2.0

I wish I had people to help =/

JohnB

daughter isn't old enough to code yet?

Yisela

have you tried ascii in here?

hahaha

JohnB

2:43 AM

Matt_2.0

no kinda got burned last year when I thought a buddy would help

Yisela

@JohnB apparently it has errors

JohnB

Oh man, now I want to buy it to see if I can point them out!

Matt_2.0

so I shouldnt tell ya I have that book?

JohnB

SCAN THE PAGES

Matt_2.0

2:44 AM

why?

JohnB

I want to play "find the error!"

Yisela

that one is cool

JohnB

omg. I should read that.

Yisela

get it from the best geek site ever muahaha

I would stare at it blankly

JohnB

@Yisela Do you know if they are real errors or like..... THIS IMAGE DOESN'T HAVE AN ALT ATTRIBUTE!! "errors"

Yisela

2:45 AM

@JohnB I think it has some obsolete code

JohnB

whoever designed that site did a great job!

Yisela

I read it in the amazon comments

Matt_2.0

thanks

Yisela

@JohnB I know riiiight

Matt_2.0

thats an amazon error.

You know some books under amazon you can view the entire book under preview?

JohnB

2:46 AM

oh here we go

►

Yisela

it has the ALT at least

JohnB

<object width="abc"

what kind of width is that.

height="123"

does not specify units

Yisela

aaaw I liked "<script type="joybabyglowslove" src="cookie">

I'd make the things make more sense

JohnB

how could they teach such blatantly bad code

this is what's wrong with today's youth!

Yisela

hahaha

also, the <ul><li>... could be the family

but the <li> being the children

it also annoys me that it doesn't use classes

JohnB

2:51 AM

that seems to be your main source of frustration for a few things today :D

Yisela

hahaha

yes

(not very anarchist of me ;) )

every time I do a google search and I see GD I get oversensitive

"photoshop close shape"

Matt_2.0

you guys anarchist?

Yisela

completely unrelated to what I need, but still n1!

@Matt_2.0 Would need an actual tekila to discuss anarchismn

Matt_2.0

tequila you mean??

Yisela

yes :)

Matt_2.0

2:54 AM

lol

Yisela

I don't know why I keep writing tekila

Matt_2.0

drunk

Yisela

I wish

2:54 pm

Matt_2.0

5 somewhere

JohnB

4:54 somewhere

Yisela

2:55 AM

haha

and -.-

JohnB

there is no such thing as being too pedantic

Matt_2.0

stop using big words

Yisela

pe·dan·tic
/pəˈdantik/
Adjective
Of or like a pedant

haha

JohnB

what the heck just happened to your avatar

Yisela

pedante in spanish is pretentious, self-centered

JohnB

2:56 AM

what an incredibly helpful definition

Yisela

oh I changed it

JohnB

pedantic is like...splitting hairs

Yisela

it wasn't up to date, I changed my hair color since hobbiton xD

JohnB

nitpicking

Matt_2.0

hobbiton what?

Yisela

2:57 AM

yeah, I had to google the definition because it didn't make any sense with my meaning

Hobbiton = full previous avatar pic

JohnB

I don't think jgervin is going to like what we have to say

Matt_2.0

feels like a failure

JohnB

that updated image is definitely not possible with a PNG overlay

Yisela

it's the same blur

Matt_2.0

he has the lowest question rating Ive seen yet

Yisela

3:01 AM

@JohnB Why don't you edit the first part of your question? SInce yours is the most upvoted and the first, it will have more visibility

I'd add what DA mentions in the comment

JohnB

@Yisela to say what? What I just said?

Yisela

to repeat that ""blur" is not some generic thing you can store in a PNG, it is an effect applied to an image and is entirely dependent on the content of the image."

JohnB

....and then someone will swoop in and prove me wrong and I will cry.

Yisela

hahaha

there's just no way to create a blur layer. End of story

I so want to edit the whole question

there's one positive thing about this web-app I'm re-styling: The DB was filled with names from Scrubs

(it's a medical app)

JohnB

I don't suppose anyone has access to iOS 7 :)

Yisela

3:05 AM

noes

JohnB

I wonder how they do it

Windows does the same thing with Aero

Yisela

it's a whole different story with effects

just like you did it with css

I bet even IE has some filters for that

msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms532979(v=vs.85).aspx

filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Blur(sProperties) / progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Blur(sProperties) IE 5.5

in WPF: <BlurEffect Radius="5"> :P

In... java? jhlabs.com/ip/blurring.html

JohnB

I have no idea what's possible in iOS, never messed with it!

I left a comment suggesting SO for help with this instead

Yisela

don't think they'll be able to help. He wants a png image to use on top of the app

it just doesn't work that way

you can't create something that turns 1px solid into 4px semitransparent

JohnB

if I can just take a moment to switch topics and brag a little bit

Yisela

3:16 AM

yeah, gladly

Q: Error 414: The requested URL /... is too large to process

When I try and share the Repurpose Hacking proposal using the e-mail link, I get the following message (in Chrome): This comes from clicking the seen here: Apparently Chrome can't handle that much link. My default mailto: handler is Gmail.

I pointed out a bug and they're going to fix it

KIND OF A BIG DEAL

Yisela

awesome!!

JohnB

hahah, it's one of those features that no one ever uses so that's presumably why it hasn't been brought up

I actually clicked the button on accident, which is how I found out

Yisela

hahaha

but now you sound very cool

does "This should be in the next build." mean Google?

JohnB

Well I felt like a jerk making the post, I just knew some dev would be rolling his eyes at me thinking "dude....nobody uses that. why are you doing this to me"

Yisela

3:18 AM

hahaha

JohnB

No, it will be in the next SE build

Yisela

well, it happened in a real life scenario

JohnB

they'll make the things shorter

Yisela

ah duh xD

JohnB

.........sorta real life scenario

Yisela

3:19 AM

I think you deserve another one of this ♦

it's made of sugar, but still

JohnB

well I was hoping for a job position! Maybe they just haven't sent the e-mail yet

Yisela

haha

@Yisela IE7 is not that bad :)

Joonas

8:44 AM

By the way... You can sort of blur a smart object. Technically it's not a smart object, but if you use smart filters, the layer acts exactly like a smart object... it just isn't a "smart object".

( Why you can't add a smart filter to a smart object is totally beyond my understanding. I don't know if there has been changes to that in cs3-cs6 ).

Q: After Effects CS6 : Template Compositions

I'm trying to put together a library of 'clips' and/or 'effects' to use in some upcoming training videos I am developing.

@Matt_2.0 we do, I'll migrate it. thanks!

@scott thanks for the edit, I think I always use the wrong term. Is IrfanView just plain wrong in their use of "DPI" in the EXIF data?

A: How to modify the corner radius on rounded rectangle in Illustrator?

The "Appearance" panel should have a "Round Corners" setting for any round rectangle paths. This should allow you to edit the corner radius for existing shapes. I am using CS6.
