I've rebooted a couple of times, and uninstalled/reinstalled via the CC Control Panel. Even more comical is when I try to retrieve information about my installation I get this error from the Adobe CC site: We're sorry, something seems to be wrong on our end. Please try again later.
I created a short project of two clips of 640 x 480 avi clips with no transitions in VideoStudio Pro X4. I created a media file output and chose the option "same as the first clip." The file created was about 39 MB. Everything was good.
Then I created a media file using the option "Project Properties" and the file size ballooned to about 354 MB, even though I set the Project Properties to the same values as the original clip!!
I need to use Project Properties. Otherwise, when I add transitions, during the transitions the video size changes to widescreen for some reason and the picture looks stretched out from left to right, until after the transition, when the video goes back to 640 x 480.
How can I use the Project Properties option when creating the final media file and not get huge files, or how can I use the "same as the first clip" option and keep the transitions the same size as the first clip (640 x 480) instead of switching to a wide screen mode?
I've been using gimp for a while, and made quite a few customizations throughout the whole user interface (rearranging, resizing docks & windows, adding new ones), custom shortcut keys and mouse commands etc.
I would like to store these custom settings in a neat little package, so if i have to reinstall my system or simply install gimp to a new machine, I could restore my customized user interface without much hassle.
So the question is:
Where exactly are gimps config files are stored especially the ones containing the examples I made?
I also have a few smaller unrelated questions:
-I would like to map functions to mouse button 4 and 5 (undo, redo) but how to map these keys.
-Is there a way to set up a shortcut for "previous color used" and "previous brush used", so i wouldn't have to manually switch colors an brushes all the time?
I'm using the windows 64 bit version of the 2.7.5 beta from Partha.
Ive had this happen before but after restarting the program it usually came back.
the circle that outlines the size of the brush has disappeared, so all i have is the little + sign.
i tried cntr+alt+shft at start to reset it, but its still the same.
Preferences / Default Grid says the grid spacing is 48 pixels for both width and height.
Yet when I choose View / Show Grid I get lines spaced on 10 x 10 intervals.
What am I missing?
I'd like to change what the right mouse button does. I went to EDIT > PREFERENCES > INPUT CONTROLLERS and tried to see where to change this (and I did successfully for the mouse wheel last week) but I couldn't find under MOUSE BUTTONS what would control what command is accessed via the right mouse wheel.
how to make a change in the preferences to what the right mouse wheel does? I know where's the most likely place to go to find the command; it's just where to access the right mouse wheel that has me stumped.
In windows > dockable dialogs > tools
I hide some tools and rearrange them to different places within the toolbox.
I also drag some dockable dialogs together under the toolbox.
When I quit the Gimp and reopen it, the toolbox and dialogs are set to default and the tools that I've hidden are back in the toolbox. Gimp is ignoring my preferences.
I've just reduced the size of a canvas from 300x300 to 200x200 but when I merge the layers I'm left with a dotted line showing the original size.

I want to create a template whereby I can make a series of images that I can save as jpgs, upload to my blog, and people can print them. When they print, I want them to be one quarter of a sheet of paper (fit four to a page).
I tried creating a new image using the "inches" specification and those inches seem to have no bearing on inches in real life once printed.
So then I figured that a sheet of paper is 8.5 by 11 and I want a resolution of 300 dpi.
So 8.5 times 300: 2,550 pixels. Times that by 0.25 to get a quarter of it: 637.5 (which gets rounded to 638 pixels).
11 times 300: 3,300 pixels. Times that by 0.25= 825 pixels.
So I put in for 638 pixels by 825 pixels and 300 dpi. I created my image. I saved it as a jpg at full resolution. I uploaded it to my site and tested out the printing.
It took up most of a sheet of paper. Not even close to being a quarter of a sheet.
I've been using 2.6 and created a template for multiple business cards on a standard 8.5 by 11 sheet. [URL]
However the later versions ... 2.8 cause distortions when I try to print. ( Canon MG 2120) The standard 8.5 by 11 mysteriously converts to 7.997 by 10.349 inches .... and a weird 318.870 ppi appears. This obviously distorts my template and the 2 by 3.5 inch cards become odd sizes. When I open the template in 2.6, it works perfectly.
What has happened to the later version? i can't reset to inches and even using the 2559 by 3300 pixils with the 1050x600 card sizecan't be printed accurately So I'm now creating in 2.8 and opening in 2.6 to get my sizes correctly.
I love the expanded tools for drawing in the 2.8 ... but this feature is a nuisance ... along of course with the terrible sizing scale for the brushes. SO hard to calibrate the smaller and moe common sizes. Another bad feature.
Have I missed some adjustment somewhere. Using the same printer, same download gives two different prints sizes in 2.6 and 2.8.
Some of my files I open in CS6 open really tiny.....like 0.044% or the original size. Is ther a setting I can change to have then open larger.....
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a way, using VBA to get the sheet size of a drawing without opening the drawing? I know how to get it with the drawing open, so alternatively, is there a way to open all the drawings in a folder, one at a time, then get sheet.size, then close and open the next?

I am new at using Adobe Illustrator and I am having a problem when I try and open an AutoCAD file (.dwg).

I am getting extreme variations in file size when I open my D800e nefs in Photoshop cs5, & Bridge. When I highlight the same nefs on my Mac(10.6.8) & "get info", I get another file size. D800e files are about 103 MB each at 8 bit, but can vary dramatically when I open them in Bridge or Cs5.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a folder of about 3000 images to edit and they're all in EPS format. Not having Photo Shop on my computer, I turned to GIMP.
I located several sources on the internet, all calling for the installation of Ghost Scripts. After trying and failing, I did some more poking around and found that some users were having trouble with opening EPS files in the current version of GIMP, and solved the issue by installing a previous version.
Before I start flailing around with various versions, I figured it would be best to find a place where experts reside.
I dowloaded Gimp 2.8, but the tool box is not on the opening screen. In fact, no windows are showing. I went through a couple of tutorials on the dockable windows. But I still don't see where the tool box window is. I see tool options and tool presets, but I don't see too box. How to get the default screen with the tool box to show up? It's my first time using Gimp. I accidentally downloaded 2.6 and noticed it did have the correct windows open. But I want to learn Gimp on 2.8.

Today I try to continue my work on this file and I got error 17718 when trying to open the file. I have never opened this file with another application than GIMP.
- How can I prevent it from happening again?- Most importantly: How can I repair the file, so that my work is not lost?
I've tried every smarty solution to get Gimp to open EPS files with ghostscript installed.
Nothing works. I'm on Windows 7 and have looked at some of the solutions on this forum. No luck. I'm wondering why Gimp has had such a long history with this problem.
I've installed GIMP 2.8 on Windows XP. It was working fine till yesterday. It is crashing within 3-5 minutes of opening an image and when working on the image.I get run time error.

I created an image in gimp and flattened it before saving. I now want to edit some of the text in that image, but when I open in Gimp "As Layers" or just open it, it does not open in three different layers, like I had before flattening it. Am I doing something wrong. I saved it as a jpg file after flattening it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have GIMP 2.6 installed under Windows xp. When I try to open an .eps file, I get this error:
Error starting Ghostscript. Make sure that Ghostscript is installed and - if necessary - use the environment variable GS_PROG to tell GIMP about its location.
(Failed to execute child process (No such file or directory))
I then downloaded Ghostscript and went thru its regular Windows installation routine. I get the same error in GIMP trying to open an .eps file. How to set the variable GS_PROG and can't find instructions for this variable in the on-line GIMP manual.
Whenever I open an image in Gimp, it's just a little off colour. Then when I save it as an image file (usually png), it's even more off colour than what's displayed in Gimp. For example, if the image starts out with a grey background of 808080 (RGB Hex Value, 16-bit), in Gimp it's 7F7F7F, and when I save as a png, it's 6E6E6E (honestly, how does that make sense under any circumstances?). I've tried every combination of settings under colour management, to no avail. Once, I managed to get Gimp to display the correct colour, but when I saved it as a gimp file, and re-opened it, it was wrong again.
