Chinese are not displayed in vi / vim on Windows OS

Solution 1:

(1) Change your system locale into 'Chinese (simplified, PRC)'. Restart computer.

(2) Edit the file - C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\_vimrc, and append the following code -


        " 字符编码{{{
" Vim显示的编码(设置这个不会改变文件的编码){
        if has('win32') || has('win64')
        set encoding=utf-8
        set termencoding=chinese
        endif
" }
" 编辑已存在的文件时的参考文件编码.需要注意顺序,前面的字符集应该比后面的字符集大{
        set fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf-8,cp936,gb18030,big5,euc-jp,euc-kr,latin1
" }
" }}}

Open your text file with gvim. You should be able to read Chinese now. Congratulations!



Solution 2: download WinVi from  http://www.winvi.de/en/email.html . Chinese can be read in WinVi.

Solution 3: install Cygwin. Choose vim when installing Cygwin. Run Cygwin. Open your file with vim.

SysAid - In RDS list, can not see the machine I have installed RDS software on

Problem: SysAid - In RDS list, can not see the machine I have installed RDS software on

Solution: On the machine I have installed RDS on, go to the folder -

C:\Program Files\SysAidRemoteDiscovery\root\WEF_INF\root, open the text file -

Discovery Services.properties

There are two lines containing the IP address of the SysAid server. The first one is with the port 8080, the second one without.

What we need to do is to just add ':8080' at the end of the second line of IP address.

Save it. Restart the RDS service.

Done.

Method 2 - How To Replace The Sky In A Photo With Photoshop?

http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photo-editing/replace-sky/

Written by Steve Patterson.
In this Photoshop tutorial, we'll learn how to easily replace the sky in a photo! We'll use a basic selection tool and a layer mask to separate the sky from the area below it, then we'll learn how Photoshop's Advanced Blending sliders make it easy to hide the original sky so the new sky can takes its place!

Download our tutorials as printable PDFs! Learning Photoshop has never been easier!

Here's the photo I'll be starting with. I purposely chose this photo because of all the trees, with the sky poking through the leaves and branches. You may be thinking that the Magic Wand or the Color Range Command would be good choices for selecting the sky, but in this tutorial, we're going to learn how to use the Advanced Blending sliders, found in the Layer Style dialog box, to both select the original sky and hide it from view at the same time:

The original photo.

Here's the image of the sky I'll be using the replace the original sky in the above photo. One thing I should point out before we continue is that both of these photos have the exact same pixel dimensions (width and height). To keep things simple, you'll want to make sure that both of your photos are the same size as well, which may mean you'll need to resize one of them before moving on:

The sky photo.

Here's what the final result will look like with the new sky added in:

The final result.

I'll be using Photoshop CS5 for this tutorial but any recent version of Photoshop will work. Let's get started!

Step 1: Select And Copy The Original Photo

The first thing we need to do is move both of our photos into the same document so we can blend them together. With both your original photo and your replacement sky photo open in Photoshop, make sure the original photo's document is active, then press Ctrl+A (Win) / Command+A (Mac) on your keyboard to select the image. You'll see a selection outline appear around its edges. Once the photo is selected, press Ctrl+C (Win) / Command+C (Mac) on your keyboard to copy the image to the clipboard:

Press Ctrl+A (Win) / Command+A (Mac), then Ctrl+C (Win) / Command+C (Mac) to select and copy the image.

Step 2: Paste The Original Photo Into The Sky Photo's Document

Switch over to the replacement sky photo's document, then press Ctrl+V (Win) / Command+V (Mac) on your keyboard to paste the original photo into the document. If we look in the Layers panel, we see that Photoshop placed the original photo on its own layer (Layer 1) directly above the sky photo on the Background layer, which is why the original photo is now blocking the sky photo from view in the document window:

The original image is placed on a new layer above the sky image.

Step 3: Duplicate Layer 1

Photoshop's Advanced Blending sliders, which we'll be using shortly, can select and hide areas of an image based on their color, which means they should have no problem selecting and hiding the blue sky without affecting the green trees. But when we tell the blending sliders to hide areas of blue, they won't simply look at the sky. They'll look across the entire photo and hide all areas that contain blue. Remember that other colors may also contain blue, especially gray or white which contain every color, which means there's a good chance other areas of the photo will be affected by the sliders unless we first take steps to prevent that from happening, which is what we're about to do.
The first thing we'll do is make a copy of our main photo. Make sure Layer 1 is active in the Layers panel (it should be highlighted in blue), then press Ctrl+J (Win) / Command+J (Mac) on your keyboard to quickly duplicate the layer. Nothing will seem to have happened in the document window, but we can see in the Layers panel that we have now a copy of Layer 1 above the original:

Step 4: Turn The Top Layer Off

We don't need the top layer (Layer 1 copy) for now, so click on its visibility icon (the eyeball) on the far left of the layer to temporarily turn it off and hide it from view in the document:

Clicking the layer visibility icon to turn the top layer off.

Step 5: Select Layer 1

Click on Layer 1 in the Layers panel to once again make it the active layer:

Clicking on Layer 1 to select it.

Step 6: Select The Area Below The Sky

Next, we'll draw a selection outline around the area of the photo below the sky. In other words, the area we want to protect from the Advanced Blending sliders. You can use Photoshop's standard Lasso Tool for this if you like. I prefer using the Polygonal Lasso Tool which I'll select by clicking on the Lasso Tool icon in the Tools panel and holding my mouse button down until the fly-out menu appears. Then I'll choose the Polygonal Lasso Tool from the menu:

Selecting the Polygonal Lasso Tool.

With the Polygonal Lasso Tool in hand, I'll click around the area I want to protect to select it. For the most part, I can be fairly loose with my selection through the trees as long as I stay below any areas where the blue sky is showing through. The only part where I need to be more precise with my selection is along the top of the house, especially the area around the top of the chimney where it's completely exposed to the sky above it. The chimney and sky are very similar in tone and color which will cause problems with the Advanced Blending sliders, so I'll need to be careful and keep my selection tight around the top of the chimney:

Making sure to select only the chimney, not the sky above it.

Other than that, the selection is pretty simple. Everything I want to protect from the Advanced Blending sliders is now selected:

The lower part of the image below the sky is selected.

Step 7: Add A Layer Mask

Now that we've selected the area we're protecting, let's convert the selection into a layer mask. Click on the Layer Mask icon at the bottom of the Layers panel:

Clicking on the Layer Mask icon.

Photoshop adds a new layer mask to Layer 1, and if we look at the mask's preview thumbnail in the Layers panel, we see that the area we selected is filled with white, which means it should still be visible in the document, while the area that was not selected is filled with black and should now be hidden from view:

The selection has been turned into a layer mask.

And if we look at the image in the document window, sure enough, that's exactly what we see. The area I selected is still visible, while the area above it is now hidden, revealing the sky photo on the Background layer below it. We've replaced the sky in the original photo, but it's not looking terribly professional just yet:

Step 8: Select And Turn On The Top Layer

Click on the top layer (Layer 1 copy) to make it the active layer, then click on its visibility icon to turn the layer back on in the document:

Clicking on the top layer's visibility icon after re-selecting the layer.

The entire original photo will re-appear in the document window:

The original photo is back, for now.

Step 9: Open The Blending Options And Change The "Blend If" Option To Blue

Double-click directly on the top layer's preview thumbnail in the Layers panel:

Double-clicking on the layer's thumbnail.

This opens Photoshop's Layer Style dialog box set to the Blending Options in the middle column. What we're looking for are the two slider bars at the bottom of the dialog box, in the Advanced Blending section. Directly above the slider bars is the Blend If option which, by default, is set to Gray. Click on the word Gray and choose Blue from the list that appears:

Change the Blend If option from Gray to Blue.

Step 10: Drag The Top Right Slider Towards The Left

As soon as you change the option to Blue, the two slider bars will change from black-to-white gradients to black-to-blue gradients. You can ignore the slider bar at the bottom. The one we want is the top one (the one that says This Layer above it). Click on the small slider below the far right of the top bar and begin dragging it towards the left:

Dragging the right slider towards the left.

As you drag the slider, you'll begin to see the original sky in the photo disappearing, revealing the replacement sky underneath. Notice that the area we selected back in Step 6 is not being affected by the slider. Only the sky itself is disappearing. Continue dragging the slider towards the left until most of the original sky is gone:

Dragging the slider causes the original sky to disappear.

Step 11: Adjust The Transition Between The Photos To Remove Fringing

The only problem now is that we're seeing a lot of harsh edges and fringing around the trees and leaves, which is color that's left over from the original sky. To fix that, we need to soften the transition between the two photos, and to do that, we need to split the slider in half.
Release the slider for a moment, then press and hold your Alt (Win) / Option (Mac) key on your keyboard. With the key held down, click back on the slider and continue dragging it towards the left. This will split the slider into two halves that we can now drag independently of each other (you can release your Alt / Option key at this point). We can adjust the softness of the transition between the original photo and the replacement sky photo by increasing or decreasing the distance between the two halves of the slider.
Keep an eye on your image in the document window as you drag each half of the slider left or right until all of the fringing around the trees and leaves (and anywhere else you happen to notice fringing) disappears:

Adjust the space between each half of the slider until the fringing around the trees is gone.

When you're done, click OK in the top right corner of the Layer Style dialog box to close out of it. Here's my final result after removing the fringing:

The final result.

How do you change white sky into blue in Photoshop (Method 1)?

Method 1 - Adding a little bit of colour to a white sky

http://www.damiensymonds.com.au/tut_sky.html

A blown-out sky is annoying, but sometimes unavoidable. Here's a way to take the edge off it, without going to too much trouble.

Notes:

• This is only for Photoshop - it won't work in Elements, sorry. If you have Elements, use this method instead.
• If you wish to fix a white sky by putting a different sky photo into it, go here.

1. Add some subtle colour

This beautiful photo is exposed well for the subjects, but the sky has gone.

Thanks to Michelle Moser for permission to use this image. See Michelle's lovely photos at www.michellemoserphotography.shutterfly.com

Make a new Selective Color adjustment layer.

Make sure the adjustment method is set to "Absolute" ...

... then choose "Whites" from the drop-down menu.

Add 10% cyan and 4% magenta to the whites (you can change these settings later, of course).

Now you've added a small amount of colour to the sky. Trouble is, you've added it to other whites in the photo as well! Time for masking.

---

2. Masking

Make sure the layer mask of your Selective Color layer is selected. Presently, the mask is all white, meaning that the adjustment is affecting the entire image.

Choose the Gradient Tool, and make sure your foreground colour is black.

Draw a gradient from just below the horizon, to near the top of the image. Hold down the Shift key to constrain the gradient to vertical.

This masks out the foreground, as well as lightening the sky near the horizon, which is quite natural.
If there are any other whites in the photo (eg a white hat on your subject) which remain affected by the adjustment, simply use your Brush Tool to mask out those items.
Finally, evaluate the strength of your sky. If you'd like it stronger, simply re-open the Selective Color layer and add more cyan and magenta to whites.

---

3. Add noise

There's a small problem with this method - fake sky colour tends to get banding in it. To prevent this, add a noise layer.
This is very important. Please don't skip this step.

Roll mouse over to compare original to adjusted:

Conclusion:

This method works best when used subtly. Don't overdo it!
