View 2 Replies View RelatedI don't need help on the designing and stuff, but there's something weird going on with my photoshop: the Hue/Saturation thing.
It goes right to the top, and it gets worse everything I use it [ I use that a lot, and I need it. ] It goes too far to the top, that I can't even see the 'OK' button anymore, so I have to click 'Enter' instead on the keyboard. But now it's getting worse, the Cancel button is half-gone. And the Hue bar is almost disappearing also, which I need that the most. And it's really annoying that it goes up too far.
these weird lls keep showing through.It is all over my psd file and when saved they show us as well.This is photoshop CS6

When I type text into a box and I want to scroll through my available fonts to see what font suits my needs, I get a weird problem. No matter what font I am on, if I try to scroll through the list, it goes back to the very top.
This happens everytime and I haven't been able to figure out what is wrong. What I need to do (i think) is trash the fonts folder and just have the basic fonts. Then I have a backup font folder (from another machine) that I can put on this pc, same fonts but that machine doesnt have the problem.
I've recently switched to a new pc with Vista-64. After installing my CS3 I tried to give it a test to see how it performs. Medium sized files run very fast on difficult filters such as Lens blur. But when I open a large file like 300mb and try to run a Lens Blur filter on it, things get very slow for this PC. I think it takes 3-4min to complete the task.
What also bothers me is CS3 is writing/using on a external HD that's not chosen to be used as a scratch disk. I noticed this as I see the blue lights get active on the WD external HD. Then I checked what's happaning in the disk going to my computer. When I look into the HD I see bunch TMP files written during this filter task. Same type of files (different sizes)are also seen in the dedicated scratch disk. Is it normal that CS3 will access other HD's eventhough they are not chosen as Scratch disks or is it there anything wrong with my CS3 or OS? Also I believe that I should get a better performance with my setup, anything you might suggest?
My computer: Gigabyte EX38T-DQ6 motherboard, Intel Core2 Extreme x9650, Vista 64-bit, 4GB DDR3 RAM, OS, other programs and CS3 located on 4 WD Raptor HD's configured as RAID 0+1, separate 70GB Raptor HD for scratch disk, all photo files are stored on 2 750GB Lacie HD's as RAID 1 and I have one WD external 2 TB HD for back up connected with Firewire800. This is the one that's being accessed by CS3.
I've been using photoshop at work to create covers for CDs, but we have two types of CD case, the normal kind, and on that's kind of a smaller version of a DVD case.
When I created the cover for the normal CD cases I measured up the correct sizes and inputted them when I create the new file. The cover looked much bigger than actual size when it appeared on screen, making working on it much easier, but then when it printed, it printed at the correct size.
When I came to make the cover for the second kind of case I did everything exactly the same as far as I can tell, but the cover doesn't look bigger on screen this time, it appears on screen at actual size, making working on it much harder. Then when it prints off, it still prints at the correct size but looks terribly blurred.
I have no idea what has caused the two different projects to behave so differently. Any one have any ideas? Have I accidentally changed some setting somewhere?
when I was doing a quick mask on something and using black to erase stuff, it was grainy and there was an obvious line so fading can never be perfect.
I freaked out and thought maybe it was a picture problem, I opened another canvas and started using the brush tool with the biggest fade and still got the same effect, an obvious edge mark and no fade at all.
I have this weird problem with the text tool, it happens only with a certain file. The text size won't go higher than 18 pixels, no matter which font is selected. When I have multiple files opened, it works ok with other files, but not with that particular file.
To make matters even more stupid, if I type something on a different file and duplicate it from there, it works ok. I can even use transformation to change the size but I can't use the type tool to change the size.
Could someone who speaks better English or PHotoshop speak than me please translate this cunundrum I get EACH AND EVERY time I change a workspace:
DO YOU WANT TO SAVE CHANGES IN THE CURRENT SHORTCUT FILE BEFORE RESETTING THE SHORTCUTS
I don't know what's going on here , but I don't remember anything about a shortcut file . I just clicked a new workspace quite simply. And I don't remember thinking in terms of saving any changes or resetting any new stuff.
I have a problem with my smudge tool. Every time I try to smudge around with a shape, it seems to draw a rectangulair box around the shape, and when you smudge out of those boxes white edges appear around the smudge.
View 3 Replies View Relatedmy photoshop is acting really weird. i thought i ahd fixed it but i obviously havent. the thing is, my text size wont go bigger then 18px. and i have no clue why.

View 8 Replies View RelatedLets say I have a B&W all text document in PDF form and I want to know what percentage of the document is taken up by text (lets say I was trying to figure out how many pages I could get out of an ink cartridge based on the page yield at 15% coverage). My first thought is to drop it in photoshop rasterized at 400dpi or so, and use the magic wand or cntrl-click the layer to select all the text and open up the expanded histogram palette and read off how many pixels are selected then divide by the total number of pixels in the document to get a percentage of coverage.
This does not work however... the pixel count shows a low number (7000 pixels or so) that obviously isn't right but when I take the magic wand and start selecting character by character the pixel count quickly climbs past the original low number so obviously something isn't right.
I'm using Photoshop CS. I want to make a text, and then I press the enter button. But, instead of a second paragraph, the text overlays. How can I solve this problem?

From time to time, when either moving text with a grip, or placing a dimension, or drawing a line or whatever, AutoCAD just randomly decides to snap to zero, zero. I might be miles away from zero, zero, but it still snap me there. The only way I can get around it is to turn my OSNAP off, do what I have to do and then turn it back on again. REALLY annoying. I'm using ACAD 2008, but I remember having this problem on earlier releases too.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to do a simple 3D ribbon with text mapped onto it.
Using the pen tool I made a line with slight curves to it, then 3D > Extrude/Bevel.
The end result added 'volume' to my ribbon. See here:[URL]....
The parts with Green X's on them are what i'd like to get rid of, so that it's basically a wide ribbon with minimal 'thickness'.

I am trying to create a grading in Civil3D 2012, for a stormwater pond design. The sides have a 3:1 slope, and on one side the pond follows natural pre-existing contours, and on the other side there is a construted dam. When I created the grading, the generated feature line has some crazy spikes that are >10000' high. The slopes all look fine, it's just the feature line thats wacky, but it won't let me edit it because its part of a grading, and if I delete it, the pond goes too. In the attached screen shot, the green suface is my existing ground, the blue is my pond, and the white is the problem feature line.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWeird audio noise after encoding for Mpeg for Blu-ray.
It's random and does not happen all the time. Started to do it after I update the latest Premiere CC.
Seems to happen when i apply a transistion to a audio clip from no audio. Sound like a mic to close to a speaker repeating the sound faster and faster. I cant hear it durning the editing, just after exporting.
I have experienced the following behavior:
1. Adding Effects to a path applies the effect but the effect is not visible in the Appearance panel.
2. In conjunction with this, it appears that internal stroking of the object creates a weird offset. The stroking is visually incorrect. The stroke generally offset by -1 on each axis. If the object has had a rounding effect applied to it, some of the corners become mangled.
When trying to place an image into a new document in photoshop elements 12, I select all-copy-paste the image (or even drag it) over to the new doc created. However, when I do this - the image does not paste in at the same size. It typically shrinks down in size. Do I have to save the file, close out and then open the new doc and PLACE it in the document in order for it to keep size? There must be a better way to do this. Basically, how can I drag a photo that is 4x6 over to a new doc while keeping the size at 4x6.
