Photoshop :: Program Is Essentially Useless / Until Can Get Connected To A Big Display
Feb 22, 2013
I normally work with a Macbook connected to a 23" Cine display. Pulled the Macbook off the display, opened Photoshop, and the bottom of all the action panels (actions, layers, channels, etc...) are below the lower edge of the screen and there appears to be no way to recover them.
The program is essentially useless until I can get connected to a big display, simply to click on the bottom of these panels.What's the secret to resizing these?
I use a MBP connected it to an Apple Cinema Display used as an external monitor (not a dual display) when in my studio.
When I use Adobe Photoshop CS 5 without the monitor the image window does not display on the MBP. If I plug the external monitor in, the window is displayed correctly on the MBP. Photoshop is opening and "displaying" the image window offscreen. Nothing gets it back onscreen, except plugging in the external monitor.
I often use Photoshop away from my studio so this is a big problem. PShop is essentially unusable unless connected to an external monitor.
A way to change the display order of pipes connected to the structure in a structure label? (plan and profile) Say you have a 10", 6" and 12" pipe connected to a structure, modeled in that order, so label would place them 10, 6, 12. we would like the label to display the order as 6,10, then 12 without having to drag the pipes off and then having to re-input inverts.
I have adobe premier elements 8 installed ,my operating system is windows 7 when film media are collected the program will not display the media APE8 states no compressor/decompresser/ codec installed.were can I download and apply this from.
In previous versions of Photoshop it was possible to recognize adjustment layers by their thumbnails, in CS4 that has been removed except for gradients, patterns and solid color.
I find that a wrong move. Thumbnails are handy, they allow you to quickly see where you've used your different adj. layers (useful if you've a big fan of non-destructive editign like me). The only thing that is left is the names, but
a) names don't view as fast as icons
b) it basically limits you of using names, because once you do, you have no clue what the layer is unless you click on it
why remove the different icons and turn it one and the same?
New computer. Moved catalog to essentially same location but moved from external drive to the main drive. Searching "find" does not seem to do anything. How do I redirect?
I'm trying to Sign In inside CorelDraw X6 using Help->Sign In. A new windows pop up requesting my email and password. I indicate my credentials and click on "Sign in". But then I get this error: "This program cannot display the webpage. Most likely causes:You are not connected to the Internet. The website is encountering problems. There might be a typing error in the address"
But I am connected to internet. If I click on Account settings it works. The main problem that I have is that for any updates I need to Sign in but I get the same error!
I am wondering if it is possible to make a linetype that is essentially two continous lines (Or small dashes lines) overlayed atop one another. The purpose for this is to create a shadow effect (we use this for text on aerial imagery). The bottom line would be a thick white/black line and the top line would be the opposite so it stands out.
I'm trying to essentially make a mini frame generator in autolisp. Namely a function where one can enter the width, height, thickness, how many bays, how many day light openings, and then autocad draws the frame. Right now I'm just trying to get two settings to work with each other - and upon opening autocad the function works initially but then when I try to switch to the other setting it does not work. I felt like this was a global/local variable issue.
With VSX3 DVD production done by DMF 7 SE , are chapter markers added in the project timeline useless as we have to redo all chapters when transfered by VSX3 into DMF 7 SE ? or is there a way to have the markers trigger a chapter as before ?
Usually when I run a script. I am automating a process. When doing this, I want to perform other tasks on my computer. Problem beeing. When Autocad is running a script. It opens a file, runs some commands. Then when completed. It opens another file. It seems when it opens each file, it takes control of the cursor for 1 second. The cursor blips for a second.
i.e.
I run a script in ACAd. Minimize ACAd. Open a Word document. And start typing. When ACAD opens a new file. The cursor is pulled away from Word. So I have to click on Word with the mouse again. Then start typeing. Basically you can type a few charachters, before the cursor is pulled away from word or any other applications. And results in my computer work station useless for multitasking until the script is done. Makes Multitasking non existent. My current project I will be running many scripts, and printing many ACAd documents. Therfore I would like to run these tasks in the back ground, while performing other tasks in a new session of ACAD or other applications.

I still have lightroom 3 wich works great but a couple of weeks ago I got a problem with the spot removal tool. Short explanation, it's not the same.I don'd know what I did but I dont have the regular spot removel tool.WHen I shoot the spot removal tool the cursor dissapear when I get over the picture like it hides behind the image.When I click I get a very tiny circle and when I drag it makes an arrow. WHat is up with that?
I am using the Sheet Set manager to just publish my drawings to the named plotter (Adobe PDF). I an NOT using any fields. I do not have any sheet numbers assigned in the sheet set. Each drawing is a separate file with only one layout tab in each file. On each drawing, the sheet title and drawing number are within an attributed block, with the drawing number in an attribute with a tag of SHEETNO. Everything is in RomanS. Single sheets plot fine. This is the only sheet set.
The problem is that the sheet number are altered when I use Sheet Set Publish to make a multi-sheet PDF. The manually inserted plain-text sheet numbers are all in the format X#.# (A1.1, A2.3, etc.). Two things happen:
1. The number after the period is printed in a different font on all sheets (NOT RomanS - the ends of the stroke are square) .
2. Over half the numbers are changed (the first sheet, the cover, is blank and not changed):
I tried to use the lens flare filter in Photoshop CS6.While the lighting effect is interesting, it introduces ugly artifacts like blue or orange blobs (which are supposed to be the reflection of the diaphragm, but do not look anywhere close to that, but instead are just cheesy looking blobs of color).
In the "movie prime" setting blue lines are added which have nothing to do with lens flar.On top of it, the preview is about the size of a stamp. Any way to use the filter without getting these artifacts, or is it - what I assume - just a useless toy filter, that has probably been dragged on for years and years because it's always been there? What do you use to create a lens flare effect? Are you just building it from scratch with brush work?
I cannot share photos from my Elements 8.0 Organizer via email. The program does not recognize that I have an email program loaded. The computer is a new HP desktop with Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 operating system. My Elements 8 does everything I need except for the photo sharing so I don't really want to purchase a new version.
I have a setup where I have a wireless mouse and a Genius MousePen 8x6 Tablet both plugged into the computer at the same time (Windows 7). I'm wondering if Photoshop recognizes one device as primary (the mouse) and ignores pressure input from the 'secondary' device (the tablet), because I'm not currently getting pressure input from a tablet that I have gotten pressure from many times before. I'm using Photoshop CS2 in this specific instance, but I'd imagine the question would apply to newer versions as well.
I noticed it is allowed to install Photoshop Elements on 2 PCs, using just one licence ; of course not using it on both PC at the same time.If I build Albums on PC 1, how do I access the Albums on PC 2.Both PCs are on a unique ethernet network, with shared HDD.
I have elements 5 and a new windows 8 computer. My downloader does not open at all when camera is connected or dows the downloader icon show up at the bottom right as before. If I go into the photoshop menu and click get photos from camera, it says camera is busy or not connected. When I first mentioned my problem someone said to download a certain service patch which I did. All that did was make the icon for the downloader go away and not it will not open at all. Is this all because of windows 8? I had XP before. If the elements 5 will not work on new window 8, then I should just get rid of it.
This seems to be happening to large files in general, but happens more often when saving down from CS6 to CS3 (for preflighting). The files will save, then throw this error when re-opening. The preview of the file in the Finder will disappear and the file becomes useless. We are on Macs running 10.6.8 and Illustrator CS6 (fully patched).
I have a external monitor connected to a laptop so there are two monitors used at the same time. The external monitor is having somewhat different constract and tone display result from the first one. So due to the different contrast setting, my external monitor is having a greater constrat than my main monitor, therefore a picture looks more constrasty in my external monitor. That being described, let me explain what the problem I have.
When I paint using Photoshop CC, I found that Photoshop seems to automatically adjust it's constrast display of that picture while moving around in the different monitor. In this case, I have Photoshop window opened in my external monitor and it has automatically reduced contrast without me noticing, so that the picture in Photoshop in my external monitor looks like having same contrast in that of my main monitor. It's not until I finish my paint and closed Photoshop and opened my paint using AcdSee did I spot the problem. All of a sudden the picture become way more contrasty than what I've been working on in my Photoshop application.
I was wondering what happened and did some testing. And it turns out while my Photoshop is opened in the external monitor. it will decrease the contrast of whatever displayed in it, if I move it back to the main monitor, the constrast is back.
This problem only happensin the case where I havce more than one monitor working. If I only have my main or external monitor on, Photoshop will not auto adjust the contrasts even the the contrasts of two monitors are different.
This have giving me a huge problem. With this auto adjust contrast thing I will not be able to produce accurate picture result because I do not have a fixed standard to look onto. Even the external monitor is contrasty at least I know I can expect the result I produced to be the same as that I see in the photoshop so different monitor doesn't matter. But now since Photoshop is reducing the contrast somehow I get a much contrasty result than I will have expect once I close Photoshop and open that picture in other application.
I took this by placing Photoshop between two monitors so the picture is slipt in two. As you can see Photoshop will auto adjust the contrast in the external monitor so one picture is having two completely different effect! Since monitor contrasts are not reflected in screenshot so you can clearly see the differences.
The reason I say photoshop adjusted the contrast is because I can see this happening, when I drag it to the second monitor without releaseing the mouse, the picture in it is still the same across two monitors. But once I release it, after one second the part in the external monitor changes.
I just deleted a folder before I should have. Now I need to edit a photo that's still in Elements Organizer but it won't let me do anything because there's no connected file. Is there any way I can get at this picture to edit it?
I have experienced that when restoring a catalogbackup, all data connected to each picture is gone, and i have to use many hours to organize once more.

I am currently writing a book that will initially be sold as a PDF but may later go on the i Book store, however I don't have a Retina display myself and what is the best practice for making screenshots from a normal display look acceptably sharp on a Retina display?
I have Photoshop along with the iOS simulator that shows how the iPad or iPhone will look if they can be used in some way but I mainly need to get menu items and dialogue boxes from various applications in OS X and Windows looking good on Retina screens. I really don't want to pay out for a Retina display purely for this task that would only take a few hours of work at most.
If it is possible to download images to my hard drive so that I have connected to a WMS server to obtain? Basically I am wanting to be able to send an autocad drawing with an aerial image to someone that does not have autocad map, and wanted to know how I can download the image so that I can send it to the person with the autocad drawing so that they can see the same aerial image that i do.
