I have a ton of fonts that I would like to use in PS, But I don't want them to load when I start PS. How can I import them into PS when I want to use them, not all at once. Reason being is that I have a TON of fonts and it slows performance and program start takes longer.
In other words, can I keep them all in a folder outside of the PS folder and access them on a need to use basis? I have lots of RAM, I just don't like any of the system resources taken up if they don't have to be.
I have a technical wireframe drawing that I need to use in an InDesign-built publication. The drawing is a bitmap and when I import it into ID it is light , a little muddy a nearly impossible to read when printed out. I've tried lots of different things to darken and increase the resolution with little or no effect. his includes: mode changes, changing the blending mode on a duplicate of the backgroud layer, increasing the resoltuion, etc. with no success.
I've got some frame by frame animations that I want to edit in CS4 extended and I've realized that a few of them are simple color adjustments that would save a huge amount of time if I made them actions. I have no problems with the adjustments themselves and clicking advance frame works for repeated use, but then I need to selected the appropriate/visible layer or the actions won't apply. Is there a way to "advance" the layer in an action?
After installing a new larger hard drive on my Mac, I got an icon in my toolbar dealing with backup/sync. Checked is the line, "Backup/sync only when idle." (I don't know if I want to change this or not - do I?) I'm instructed to sign into photoshop.com through Photoshop Elements, but when I try to do that I get Error 400. I just learned that photoshop.com no longer exists - true? If this is nothing to worry about, how do I remove that icon from the toolbar? It has a lock symbol on it.
I am trying to assign objects (only in UNLOCKED layers) with a new layer.So basically, the user will select all the objects in the drawing.
After selecting (ex. press enter after window selecting), only objects in UNLOCKED layers will have a new layer.
Following is the code I am using...But I keep getting eOnLockedLayer exception.How should I handle this issue? Â using (Transaction acTrans = acCurDb.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) { PromptSelectionOptions pSelOpts = new PromptSelectionOptions(); pSelOpts.MessageForAdding = "Select all objects"; PromptSelectionResult pSelRes = acDoc.Editor.GetSelection(pSelOpts); if (pSelRes.Status == PromptStatus.OK)
In the dimension styles we have linear suffix and angular suffix. For angular dimensions we just want the degree symbol and for the Linear suffix we want the foot symbol. But when we dimension an angle we get both degree and a foot symbol, and we just want the degree symbol. We put the foot symbol on the linear units only yet it shows up on the angular dimensions.
where I cannot set the opacity partway transparent when dealing with a png file and another png file as a selection flotation!!! the opacity sliders in the layers tab seem to do nothing but If I go below 50% the layer disappears!!! I can only have it 100% opaque or 100% transparent (which is when the slider is 50% or below) anywhere else 51=99% acts as 100% opaque!!!
I wanted to set up a template for dealing with printing four images on a sheet.
I created an image the size of the sheet and then added four layers, each of the desired image size which needed to be positioned appropriately.
When I went to position the images, I could not find any reasonable way with the move command or with any of the layer operations to position each layer precisely.By that I mean simply type in the coordinates of the upper left corner, or move with the mouse where I see a text version of the upper left coordinate of the new layer position as I move.
If trying to position using the mouse, the lower left of the status line shows the position of the pointer itself, so that is useless in positioning the layer as a whole; and the numbers to the right of the per-cent size display show how much the layer has moved relative to its starting position, not the absolute position of the upper left corner. (I'll grant that the latter is useful, but in this case one needs something else, particularly if a layer has been moved and needs to be repositioned to a fixed location.)
The only way I could get what I wanted was to expand to 800%, and at that magnification I could grab the upper left corner with the mouse so the mouse position was itself the upper left corner position. Surely there's a better way?
Layer/Layer to Boundary Size... does not appear to work as advertised. The offset appears to be relative to the original size of the layer, not the original size of the image. The panner image is limited to the size of the layer, not the image. When you first bring up the dialog, you are unable to reposition the layer unless you change the layer size to make the layer smaller. If you make the layer half the size of its original size and then click "Center", the offset is set to - 1/2 the size of the original image, not + 1/2, which seems bizarre. The layer is scaled properly, and ends up where you would expect (based on the center command given, but not based on the offsets indicated), but the values in the Offset boxes seem to have the wrong sign. It works by moving the original layer relative to the desired new layer, rather than position the new layer size relative to the image. Which means you can't move the layer relative to the image if the layer is smaller than the image, and the graphic panner doesn't show you the layer position relative to the image as a whole. It is not at all intuitive and is not useful for quite a few common cases.
Layer/Transform/Offset shifts the contents, but not the layer itself. Which is what it is supposed to do, so that's ok; it's just not usable for this operation.
I want to see "resent" fonts when choosing, be able to type letter to get down the list quickly, group similar fonts, etc. Maybe have a magnifying glass attached to cursor to see fonts better.... Why have this not been done?
Once I installed windows 7, while I WAS using PSE 9, I had the tiny font problem. I stopped using PSE for 2 years. I just installed PSE 11. Though better, the Font is still way smaller than I would like. Maybe it's just tougher for seniors? Can they not make the font adjustable? I was told there is no way to increase the size of the font?
It used to be that I very rarely used fonts within CS5 but recently I have. I realized that all of the fonts supposedly included with CS5 are not available via my drop down menu.  I then found these fonts in Windows/fonts so I copied all of those fonts into Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Fonts. These unavailble fonts are now listed in that folder but are still not available via the dropdown menu in PS CS5.  I've recently read that the fonts don't really even NEED to be in the Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Fonts folder and that PS should actually make all of the fonts in Windows/Fonts available via the dropdown menu. Yes, I have restarted PS after copying the files and also tried rebooting my PC after copying the files. The fonts are still not available via the drop down text menu within PS even though all of them are now in both locations.
I have put some new fonts into C:/windows/fonts and they have come up in other programs e.g. Microsoft office but they are not showing up in photoshop.
i am using vista home premium with SP1 and it is 32bit and photoshop cs4.
never knew there has a font folder in the user profile for Gimp until I wiped my user profile and moved all patterns, gradients, brushes, etc I have been putting in the program folder to the user profile folder because I read on here that it is better to keep all that stuff in the user profile folder of Gimp... my question is, what is the difference between installing your fonts into the system and placing them into the fonts folder in Gimp (besides all programs being able to use them)?? I've been installing all my fonts into the system I wanna use in Gimp... is it better to use the font folder in the Gimp user profile or to install them into the system?
how to get Gimp to only showfonts from the user/fonts file rather than the vast amount of system fonts.
I think you should read the original mail again. Hint: "system fonts not shown" is not the problem, but the desired outcome.I have accidentally read a "not" into the original mail, thus it became "to get Gimp to *not* only show fonts from the user/fonts file"
The configuration to check is the fonconfig settings then, for example the the global, system-wide fonts.conf file. It may contain references to the global font directories, for example /usr/share/fonts/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts. URL....
If you comment those out, then you can (and have to) add all font directories in GIMP's settings, for example.
If I'm creating a Photoshop PDF in order to keep the type in vector format, will the font then be embedded in the PDF? I'm not rasterizing the type since I want it to stay vector, but then I'm worried that if I share the file someone else will have trouble with it. I made a Photoshop PDF yesterday that I needed to share -- I just sent the font along with it. I knew it would probably ask for the font if they attempted to edit it in Photoshop -- but if they just printed it from the PDF maybe it would be embedded? Acrobat is listing it as an embedded subset, but I don't see how it can be embedded if the editing capabilities are still there.
Can I add fonts to photoshop? There is a font that I really like but there is nothing like it in photoshop. It's called de-generation, and it looks like this
I donwloaded some fonts of the web and saved them to the fonts folder in common files. But when i go to Photoshop the fonts are not listed on the fonts list. I'm using Photoshop CS3 Extended.
There seem to be certain fonts which are used often these days for rebrands/refreshes (i.e. Gotham, Myriad, etc). So which 'contemporary' fonts do you think no designer should be without?
I constantly have this problem of fonts cos I design with a PC and most of my print beareaus use MACs. I understand the Postscript issue but is there anyway around it as it is quite frustraiting. I have tried transfering to illustrator and converting to out lines but then it only looks great with particular fonts and I cannot use small sizes.
I'm working with PhotoshopCS on a Mac and, for some reason, my fonts only go down to the letter "T". I'm trying to access "Verdana" but no fonts after Times Roman are appearing... Does anybody know what the deal is or how to fix it??
I have done a search and seen some similar topics, but let me describe my problem just in case...
I am using Photoshop CS and I have installed a huge font lib. onto my PC. When I load Photoshop, it does take a while to load, but when I try to access all of the fonts, it only loads through the letter "F" I believe.
I want to install new fonts in Photoshop....so I placed them into the Adobe Fonts Folder:C:Program FilesCommon FilesAdobeFonts As well as in the Windows Font Folder. I heard putting them in this folder is not enough, and that I need to install them as well.I tried this by File - Install New Font. The issue here is that the new window does not let me chose items on my desktop, only in some obscure window files.
