Photoshop Batch Process Action won't record Erasing?
Hello,
I have several thousand product images (JPG format) with a white background and a logo on the lower left corner. I need to remove this logo. We no longer have the originals. All images are the same size and the logos are all in the same place.
I tried creating an action on Phoshop. I opened one of the images, start recording, select the eraser tool and go ahead and erase the logo. But the action recorded the selection of the eraser tool and that's it. It doesn't record the erasing action.

2 AnswersOther - Yahoo Mail7 years agoPassword Storage for Company?
I work for a small company of about 15 employees. We don't have an IT guy or system admin.
We have been keeping our passwords stored in an .rtf file on a networked drive, which is not very safe. As it was bound to happen, one of the computers in the network got infected with a trojan horse and the hackers gained access to the file and got on our hosting accounts and started sending out spam. We were notified by the host. I changed all the passwords and deleted the getter files they installed.
My question is: What is the proper way to store passwords safely, in a way in which everyone in the company will have access to them? Maybe a software solution?

1 AnswerSoftware8 years agoExcel Autofill to a certain column?
I work a lot with very large worksheets. Some have hundreds of thousands of rows.
It happens quite that I have a column that I have to autofill a column from row 2 through row 279,495 (for example) and the columns around it have lots of empty cells so double-clicking the corner of the cell won't do it. So, I have been clicking and dragging and dragging and dragging and dragging... And it takes a really not time.
Do you know any tricks to do this faster?

I have built a few ecommerce websites at this point using Magento, BigCommerce and Volusion
I have run into a couple of clients that want to sell completely custom products (t-shirts with user-submitted images on them, stickers with custom designs, people who sell engraved products, etc).
I don't have any idea of how to even get started on something like that.
Do you any CMS, ecommerce platforms, etc that could do something like that?

3 AnswersSoftware9 years agoExcel find upper case letters and engine displacements?
I have a few hundred thousand of cell values that look like this:
2001ChevroletBlazerLS Sport Utility 2-Door4.3L 262Cu. In. V6 GAS OHV Naturally Aspirated
I need to convert them into this:
Chevrolet/Blazer/2001/4.3L 262Cu.In. V6 GAS OHV Naturally Aspirated.
The year is always 4 digits and always at the beginning of the the string. All of the engines start with the engine displacement in liters in [number].[number]L. Such as 2.0L or 2.3L or 1.5L.
The first question: How to select for Uppercase letter?
The second question: How do I select for the [number].[number]L.?
My formula would probably end up looking like
=MID(A2,5,[find the second uppercase letter in the string]-1)
&"/"&MID(A2,[find second uppercase letter in the string],[find third uppercase letter in the string])
&"/"&LEFT(A2,4)
&"/"&RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-[find engine displacement])
1 AnswerSoftware9 years agoSorting Unordered Lists inside a Div using Javascript?
I'm very new to javascript. I'm trying to write a simple script to order alphabetically on load a series of UL's. Not the LI's inside of the UL's, but the UL's themselves.
Here is what the HTML looks like:
<div class="FindByCategory">
<ul>
<li>This is the first list item in the first unordered list</li>
<li>This is the second list item in the first unordered list</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>This is the first list item in the second unordered list</li>
<li>This is the second list item in the second unordered list</li>
</ul>
</div>
This is what I have so far:
<script>
function sortUnorderedList (div.FindByCategory, sortDescending) {
if(typeof div.FindByCategory == "string")
div = document.getElementById(div.FindByCategory);
var uls = ul.getElementsByTagName("UL");
var vals = [];
for(var i = 0, l = uls.length; i < l; i++)
vals.push(uls[i].innerHTML);
vals.sort();
for(var i = 0, l = uls.length; i < l; i++)
uls[i].innerHTML = vals[i];
}
</script>
2 AnswersProgramming & Design9 years agoUltimate Excel Logic formulas Challenge?
I have a products CSV export I'm working on.
Each product goes to many, many categories. And there are 4 tiers of categories. My "category" column entries look like this:
"Ford/Ranger/2011/2.3L 140Cu. In. l4 GAS DOHC NA;Ford/Ranger/2010/2.3L 140Cu. In. l4 GAS DOHC NA;Ford/Ranger/2009/2.3L 140Cu.

Category tiers are separated by slashes("/") and category entries are separated by semicolons (";")
What I need is I need to alphabetize the entries.
Step 1: Text to Columns by the semicolon to separate the category entries.
Step 2: There are 3 options a) Copy and Paste to transpose and create a macro to sort alphabetically through every column independently of the other columns. But I don't know the VBA code to get the itiration right. 2) Make a long logical formula using the comparison operators < and >. It would have to be quite long. Some products have up to 20 category entries. 3) Something else I haven't thought of.

97,98,1997,1998

2 AnswersSoftware9 years agoEviction on court records but not on credit report?
I was denied an application to a rental property. They said there was an eviction on my record. I was never notified of anything prior to this.
I PULLED MY CREDIT REPORT from ALL 3 CREDIT BUREAUS: nothing about an eviction.
I see from the credit enquiries that they used a company called SafeRent to create a report for them. I'm assuming SafeRent pulled the eviction from the county records? Is there a way to contest this?
