How to Create a Zoomed In Effect in Photoshop


Setting up the Photoshop document

1 First, we are going to open up Photoshop and create a new document (Ctrl + N). In the New document dialog box, set the Width and Height units to pixels (if it isn’t already). We’re creating a square canvas; set the width and height to 600 pixels. We’re creating a graphic that’s web resolution, so set the Resolution to 72 pixels/inch.


Adding graphics to the canvas

2 Choose a good resolution graphic (500 x 500px) which has enough resolution and detail to show as the zoomed part. Vector graphics are always great because you can rescale them without loss of quality. Here I am using the Envelope Icon from the freeSix Revisions Plastic Iconset. Paste (Ctrl + V) the graphic to the stage and name the new layer Zoom.

How to Add 3D Effects to Your Images
There are many cases where you may want to add various 3d effects to your images. Perhaps you want to give them a unique and special look, customizing your photos to share with your friends and family. Or, perhaps you need to have a more professional and eye-catching design for a brochure or website. However, adding 3d effects to images is not something that can be done without third party software. Adding 3d effects can be done with the expensive, high end graphic design programs, but these are normally preset templates which cannot be fully customized. Also, such programs can be highly complicated to learn due to their complexity and great abundance of features, most of which you will probably never find any use for.
To help designers and publishers or anyone else who wants to add advanced 3d effects to digital images for any reason, 3D Image Commander provides the perfect solution. A unique program focusing on this particular area of image manipulation, 3D Image Commander is easy and enjoyable to use, offering you all of the features you need without any strings attached. The program is also very reasonably priced and if it is 3d effects that you are looking for, then this offers the best solution. It differs from other photo editing suites in that it offers complete real time image manipulation with full customization on every available 3d effect. The 3d effects are original and edited and adjusted completely in real time whereas other similar programs typically only offer a number of templates and pre-set effects.


3D Image Commander is a pleasure to use, and while it is designed to provide professional results for professional designers, its learning curve is not steep and requires no special knowledge to get started with. The user-friendly interface is intuitive and colorful with various customization options as well. The program-s features are clearly understandable and quick and easy to use as well. Using 3D Image Commander, you can also create advanced thumbnails with various great 3d styles. The process, while fully customizable, is only a matter of a few clicks. You can also use the text feature to place copyright notices on your images in such a way that they fit with the manipulated image. Some of the 3d effects supported include 3d perspective, curving and reflection. Other effects such as shadows or auras are also supported.
For those who need to work with large numbers of images, batch image processing is also supported. Simply choose the 3d effects that you want to apply to the images and let the software do the rest of the work for you, processing hundreds of images in a matter of minutes. You can easily and quickly prepare your images for publication on the web and supported formats include JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF and PSD.
3D Image Commander is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. The full version of the software costs $29.95, though there is also a trial version available.

3D Rotation and Curving

3D Image Commander lets you create beautiful 3D effects for your images.

Curves and Stroke

3D Image Commander can create advanced thumbnails with cool styles and effects like dropping shadow, glow and reflection.

Batch Mode

3D Image Commander lets batch processing thousands of images by one click.

Create a Splash Screen


Flash is complex, but learning to use it is more fun if you start right in by creating animated movies. While Flash comes with a decent set of vector-graphic drawing tools, we'll bypass them, and rely on graphics you've created in CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator or Macromedia Freehand. Gary Priester has supplied Unleash.com with an amazing set of tutorials for creating logos using those programs.
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to create an animated splash screen for a Web site that displays a moving logo, and then opens a Web page in the browser window.
The basic steps are:
  • Import your logo (see Gary Priester's Logos for the Design Challenged series) from a vector drawing program.
  • Define an animation sequence to move, rotate, and transform your logo.
  • Add actionscript commands to jump from your Flash movie to a Web page.
  • Publish your movie, and integrate it into your Web site.


Create an animated Logo

With a logo saved to either Freehand or Adobe Illustrator's *.ai file format (an easy export for DRAW users, open Flash 5 and select File, Import. Navigate to your *.ai file, and import it into your Flash movie. As you do, the logo will appear in Frame 1 of your movie (the numbered frames in the Timeline at the top of the movie window control your animation - we'll use them shortly). Click and drag on your logo to locate it in the upper left corner of the stage (the white area where frame content is defined).

How to Creating animated Splash Screen ?


In this article I am going to talk about Splash Screen in Windows Phone 7. Generally when developing a WP7 application you can :
  • Use an Image as a Splash Screen
  • Use animated Splash Screen
  • Use no Splash Screen
By default  when starting a Windows Phone 7 application takes a little time to show the app form. That is why it is a good practice to show your own custom splash screen.


Use a static Image as Splash Screen
By default when creating a Windows Phone 7 application project it generate a default SplashScreenImage.jpg image:

In order to add a custom splash screen to you WP7 Application the easiest way is just to replace the existing image with a new one. You can just follow the steps:
1). Add an Image file to your project and name it SplashScreenImage.jpg (NOTE: The name is important!)
2). The Image size  have to be width : 480px,  Height 800px : (480 x 800).
3) Set the Image Build Action  to Content

NOTE:  In order to see the splash screen on the emulator your graphics cards need to be WDDM 1.1 or higher.

How to Create a Splash Screen using Java ?


Almost all modern applications have a splash screen. Typically splash screens are used for the following purposes:

Advertising a product
Indicating to the user that the application is launching during long startup times
Providing information that is only needed once per visit
Java Foundation Classes, both Swing and Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT), enable a developer to create splash screens in Java technology applications. However, because the main purpose of a splash screen is to provide the user with feedback about the application's startup, the delay between the application's startup and the moment when the splash screen pops up should be minimal. Before the splash screen can pop up, the application has to load and initialize the Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM), AWT, Swing, and sometimes application-dependent libraries as well. The resulting delay of several seconds has made the use of a Java™ technology-based splash screen less than desirable.

Fortunately, Java™ SE 6 provides a solution that allows the application to display the splash screen much earlier, even before the virtual machine starts. A Java application launcher is able to decode an image and display it in a simple non-decorated window.

The splash screen can display any gif, png, or jpeg image, with transparency, translucency, and animation. The figure below represents an example of the Java application splash screen developed as an animated gif file.


The SplashScreen class is used to close the splash screen, change the splash-screen image, obtain the image position or size, and paint in the splash screen. An application cannot create an instance of this class. Only a single instance created within this class can exist, and this instance can be obtained using the getSplashScreen() static method. If the application has not created the splash screen at startup through the command-line or manifest-file option, thegetSplashScreen method returns null.
Typically, a developer wants to keep the splash-screen image on the screen and display something over the image. The splash-screen window has an overlay surface with an alpha channel, and this surface can be accessed with a traditionalGraphics2D interface.
The following code snippet shows how to obtain a SplashScreen object, then how to create a graphics context with thecreateGraphics() method:
...
        final SplashScreen splash = SplashScreen.getSplashScreen();
        if (splash == null) {
            System.out.println("SplashScreen.getSplashScreen() returned null");
            return;
        }
        Graphics2D g = splash.createGraphics();
        if (g == null) {
            System.out.println("g is null");
            return;
        }
...
Find the demo's complete code in the SplashDemo.java file.

Note: The SplashDemo application uses fixed coordinates to display overlay information. These coordinates are image-dependent and calculated individually for each splash screen.

The native splash screen can be displayed in the following ways:
  • Command-line argument
  • Java™ Archive (JAR) file with the specified manifest option

How to Use the Command-Line Argument to Display a Splash Screen

To display a splash screen from the command line use the -splash: command-line argument. This argument is a Java application launcher option that displays a splash screen:
java -splash:<file name> <class name>

Try this: 
  1. Compile the SplashDemo.java file.
  2. Save the splash.gif image in the images directory.
  3. Run the application from the command line with the following arguments:
    java -splash:images/splash.gif SplashDemo
    
  4. Wait until the splash screen has been completely displayed.
  5. The application window appears. To close the window choose File|Exit from the pop-up menu or click the X.
  6. Change the splash screen name to a non-existent image, for example, nnn.gif. Run the application as follows:
    java -splash:images/nnn.gif SplashDemo
    
  7. You will see the following output string:
    SplashScreen.getSplashScreen() returned null
    

How to Use a JAR File to Display Splash Screen

If your application is packaged in a JAR file, you can use the SplashScreen-Image option in a manifest file to show a splash screen. Place the image in the JAR file and specify the path in the option as follows:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: <class name>
SplashScreen-Image: <image name>

Try this: 
  1. Compile the SplashDemo.java file.
  2. Save the splash.gif image in the images directory.
  3. Prepare the splashmanifest.mf file as follows:
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Main-Class: SplashDemo
    SplashScreen-Image: images/splash.gif
    
  4. Create a JAR file using the following command:
    jar cmf splashmanifest.mf splashDemo.jar SplashDemo*.class images/splash.gif
    
    For more information about JAR files, see Using JAR Files in the Packaging Programs in JAR Files page.
  5. Run the application:
    java -jar splashDemo.jar
    
  6. Wait until the splash screen has been completly displayed.
  7. The application window appears. To close the window choose File|Exit from the pop-up menu or click the X.

How To learn Tally at home?


Learning has a cost. Every body who has learned something has paid its cost. You pay cost not only in terms of money but also in other forms too. These forms of paying the price can the time taken or extent of learning etc. Learning Tally is also not an exception. You have to pay the price. Let me explain this fact a little more.

You can learn tally in three different ways. One you learn tally from a person who knows, Two: at your own from books and helping material from net or any other source and Three from an institute who is capable of teaching you tally.
In all three ways you pay the price in different ways. In the first way the price can be the charge you pay plus damage done to you due to lack of knowledge of your tutor. In second case the price can be less in terms of money but can be more in terms of time spent in learning it at your own. In third case price can be the institute fee you have paid and extent of knowledge you have gained or time saved in learning.

The best way too learn is to learn it from some competent institute, preferably from TallyAcademy as the price paid , the extent of knowledge you get and time you spend has perfect balance.

The second option is not bad if you are ready to pay the price in terms of your time. Yes, you can learn tally from home. For that you have to become a keen learner. Lets see how you can learn tally from home.


Arrange for study material :
Before learning Tally first arrange all study material. The best books can be TFAP books which can be bought from any TallyAcademy. They are best because they are about the latest versions and have full features explained with practical examples.There are good amount of exercises are also in it. Except it there are certain other books available in the market specially on Tally.

Arrange for Software :
First of all we have to which software version you want to learn. At this point of time version 7.2 is most appropriate. The books too covers this version. So arrange Tally 7.2 educational version with latest release and with stat files and Help file. The stat files are necessary as these would be necessary for statutory reports like VAT, service tax etc. It may happen that while learning it from books you stuck some where. Or this is also very much possible that what ever you are looking on books is not coming in actual tally. At this point just press help and context sensitive help would come. Study the concept and syntax from there and proceed.
One more difficulty you would face is that as you are using educational version then you would not be able to enter the transactions on actual dates as educational software would only take 1, 2 and 31 of each month. In this situation you have to enter the dates of your vouchers only in 1,2 and 31 date. Believe me you would be able to see all effects except the few like interest calculation, forex gain etc where you would find some difference but it would do.

When you struck up:
When you struck somewhere then you have very few options but these can help.
Contact your peers who have some knowledge of tally software.
Post your query at Yahoo answers, chances are good that you get the answer.
Joint some group on internet where you can mail your queries. TallyUsers is a good choice.

Create a Web Page Using Microsoft Publisher


If you want a way to create a web page and start your own website but don’t have the HTML coding skills or time to learn a web design program then you can make a web page using Microsoft Publisher. The Microsoft tool used to create web pages was called FrontPage but it was discontinued after the 2003 version and replaced by Microsoft Expression Web and SharePoint Designer, which were released in December 2006.
Keep in mind that if your site is going to need advanced features such as interactivity or database-driven content, or if it will be used with data validation, such as for verifying credit card numbers then you will need to use a program designed for those features. But if you just want a simple site with text and pictures then Publisher will work fine. 


You can start the process by creating your page from scratch or copying content from other websites and then edit it to suit your needs. Click on the File menu and pick New and select Publication Types. From there choose Web Sites. To create a custom Web site that is based on your site goals, use the Easy Web Wizard. To create a Web site from scratch, under Web Sites, click Blank Sizes, and then click the size that you want. Then click on Create. Enter in your content text and images to make the page look the way you want.
After you have things looking the way you want to you can preview the site and use the Design Checker to help find any potential problems. The Design Checker can be run from the Tools menu. You can choose to have the Design Checker fix problems automatically or take you to the points where the problems are located in the page. Finally preview the page by going to the File menu and selecting Web Page Preview. This will open your page in a web browser so you can see how it will look so you can check your hyperlinks and other controls.
To put your site on the internet you will need to have a hosting service that you can upload the content to. There are sites that will provide free web page hosting most likely in return for putting their advertisements on your page. Microsoft provides a free website hosting if you need it. Then you can publish your page on the web server using various methods which will vary depending on the host. You can also publish your page to a local intranet for inter office use and that way you won’t need a hosting service but keep in mind people outside of your network will not be able to see your site.


When you are ready to publish your site, Publisher assembles all the related files that it creates in a single folder including all HTML pages that make up your site, graphic images that you use on your pages, and any files for embedded sounds. By default, Office Publisher creates a single home page and a subfolder that contains all the supporting files that are needed for your Web site. This can be customized to suit your needs. You can publish your site to an internet address, FTP site or a folder on your computer. After your site is published you can publish updates by using incremental publish to the Web, which publishes only those pages that you have updated rather than the whole site.
There is much more to effectively getting your website online and maintaining it than this tip provides but you can get much more detail by using the help section within Microsoft Publisher and checking recourses online at the Mircosoft site.

How To create edit box using vc++ ?


An edit box is a control used to either display text, to request text, or to do both. It it provided as a rectangular control with a sunken white background and 3-D borders.

To add an edit box  and click the desired area on a form or a dialog box. To add a new edit box programmatically, declare a variable or a pointer to CEdit using its constructor. To initialize it, call its Create() method. Here is an example:



BOOL CLabelDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
CDialog::OnInitDialog();

// TODO: Add extra initialization here
CEdit *Musician = new CEdit;

Musician->Create(WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE,
            CRect(10, 50, 150, 70), this, 0x1552);
return TRUE;  // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control
             // EXCEPTION: OCX Property Pages should return FALSE


To change the text of the control, a user can click it and start typing. This is possible if allowed it, which is the default behavior. If you don't want the user to be able to change the text of an edit box, at design time, check its Read Only check box or set it to True. To dynamically set an edit box to read-only, add the ES_READONLY style to it.

The text of an edit box displays its characters at they are set in the alphabet. If you want to hide the characters of an edit box, check its Password check box at design time. In this case, the characters would appear as x. If you prefer a different character, call the SendMessage() function with the EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR as the message. Here is an example:

BOOL CLabelDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
CDialog::OnInitDialog();

// TODO: Add extra initialization here
m_AccountPassword.SendMessage(EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR, '&', 0);

return TRUE;  // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control
             // EXCEPTION: OCX Property Pages should return FALSE
}
