Photoshop :: Weird Dialogue After Changing Workspace
Mar 22, 2006
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 CS5 Extended and my OS is XP. I want to change the color of the workspace to black or at least darken it. I can't find any way to do this. I tried one tip of clicking on the paint bucket, setting it to black, then Shift and click on the workspace. I've tried right clicking on the workspace. Nothing brings up any options. Under Preferences/Interface, I set the screen to black but nothing happens.
I'm currently using Photoshop CS5 on a Mac . I frequent between two workspace and want to assign different sets of actions to them. So my photography editing is done in one workspace and I'm using lot's of actions for that. When I switch to my scrap booking workspace I want to change the actions palette accordingly.
Im probably a bit anal and like my action palette a certain way and would like my actions to stay in a certain order. When PS freezes and I need to force quit it the order of actions is different again. I seem to recall that it is possible to save the content and order of the palette but cannot find it anywhere on the web anymore. I am saving my actions from PS to a folder organized by name but now I have to keep adding them by hand.
very grey and flat. I know how to change the background color, but is there anyway to add more color to the interface in general...tools, menu or palette color? Yes I do know that we can highlight individual menu items on drop down.
I just downloaded 2013 Autocad for MAC and I can't manage to see my drawing toolbars and also don't know where to find workspace settings to change my workspace to autocad classic.
I am trying to go from the 3D Modeling workspace to the 2D workspace without the XYZ coordinate gizmo on the drawing screen (just want to see the XY ucs) to work in 2D format.
is there a way to have the profile be on 2d drafting already as yoju open a new file or should you always open a new file and then change the profile from architecture to 2d drafting?
I 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.
i accidentally pressed some keys and my whole "art board" turned to an annoying bright blue color. It is originally the gray part outside of the painting area.
I cant seem to find anything in the general settings that will change it back to gray. if you know how to change it back,
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.
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.
my 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.
when no windows are open i can set it to whatever size i want, but when i click new file or open, it goes right back to 18px.
when i use the eracer tool mostly, does anyone know what can be causing this? Here is an example when i had an image over another, and attemped to erace the top image.
the problem is that i am trying to do the blur/guassian blur then adjsut layers to make all hte boxes round liek for an interface but the adjust/layers window is not what all hte forms are like.
Lets 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?
a while back i had this problem where pictures wher looking funny when blurred but never realy had an answer this is what i am talking about [URL}...
Now i took this with my phone because when i take a screenshot people say the picture looks fine ,I have tried alot of things but i can't fix it here is a picture of it as a ascreenshot [URL]...want a fix for this as most of my pictures become crap when i try to make something nice in photoshop !
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.
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.
i have some blocks have a rectangle rounded, there is a an arrow on that rectangle by clicking on it, it will do invert which will make the blockk dispear as if u doing a crop for an image but this time is a block is that normal.
I have a weird problem when printing from Illustrator CS4, i get a symmetric linie at the bottom of the page in the same color as the star i am printing, and the color of the line changes when i change the color of the star ?
