I have gotten so excited about brushes I have downloaded tons of them,
over 500, I like them all and will probably use hardly 1/5 of them Is there a way to save these and be able to see a preview of brushes without loading them in PS. Or should I just delete them all and look when I need something?I would prefer saving to skip the search process but it is so hard to remember which is which.
I have collected many brushes for Photoshop (CS2) and when I open the brush list it is so large that several of the columns are not visible. How do I adjust the brush pallet to show all the brushes I have? Also, is it possible to have a preview of the brushes without actually selecting a particular brush?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have installed X5 along with all service packs on my main PC (Win 7 Ultimate 64bt) everything works fine and has done since first install. To use media brushes I click on..
Artistic Media > Calligraphy (for example) in the drop down menu > select a nib style from the next drop down that displays 'samples' of the various nibs. All fine.
As I am having to also work from home too at present, I have installed X5 on my study PC. I try exactly the same proceedure on this other machine (similar spec but Win 7 Pro 32bt) with same service packs, same install disc etc.. and all I get is blank boxes, no nib previews. This happens if I am using standard Corel media or 3rd party brushes??
See screen grabs below:
Nothing shows up..??
 ... using default Corel media in default Corel directory..
 ... or 3rd party brushes.
I have tried un-installng and re-installing but no joy. All brushes work and display fine my office PC.???!!
I am interested in grouping and sorting brushes according to size, shape, whatever.
Right now when I add a brush library, they just stack on top of one another.
For example let's say I have a round brush with a 10 diameter, then next to it a round brush with a 20 diameter. If I make a 15, it goes to the bottom of the list, and I have to scroll all around. How can I group them?
I suspect I would have to make my own brush library with my brushes how I want them, then save that and load it?
A feature notably absent from the Oil Paint filter is any way to temporarily disable the effect (e.g., not preview it).I happen to like using Oil Paint to make refllections in the surface of water smoother and more "liquid" (which involves turning off the "Shine"), and it would really be nice if I could easily gauge the amount of the effect easily by blinking back and forth between original and processed image with a quick "disable preview" functionality.
Â
With most standard filters, one can either uncheck a [ ] Preview box, and/or click the mouse button down on the image to temporarily show what the image is like without the effect.Yes, I know I can turn the Stylization down to 0.1 and see how a very minimal amount of the effect can be applied. And I can look at the original image in Photoshop proper, but of course that can't be zoomed while the Oil Paint filter is active.
Â
Also, the zooming / panning seems kind of stiffly implemented.In summary, the more or less standard and expected filter features I'd like to see added to this (new class of) GPU-accelerated filters are:Preview/No Preview capability. It doesn't have to update Photoshop, just the preview display in the filter itself. I suggest a [ ] Preview checkbox and/or an on-mouse-click temporary effect disable.Â
Modal click and drag Zooming vs. Panning - i.e., based on a Zoom or Pan function selected (e.g., via an icon along the left) vs. having to hold modifier keys down. I personally would want it set to Zoom by default, not Pan. Since the filter has scroll bars (a Good Thing), I would have thought Zoom would have been a better default as it is. I have implemented these things in my own GPU-accelerated plug-ins, so I know that all the infrastructure Adobe needs to support them is already in there. These changes are controls only and should be trivial to implement.
How do you rearrange the brushes in the brushes box?
I've seen they are arranged by name, so how do you rename the brushes since renaming the file name don't rename the brush.
I recently bought a Nikon D7100. I took some test shots and imported the images to Lightroom 4.4, then generated 1:1 previews for all the images.
Â
Previews zoomed to 1:1 in Library Mode are noticeably soft. The image below is a screen shot of the Library preview:
Moving to Develop View produces a higher-resolution 1:1 preview. The image below is a screen shot of the Develop preview:
Look at the bricks and window screens to see the difference.
Â
This difference occurs immediately after import (with a User Preset applied during import). Once any Develop work is done, the Library preview updates and displays at full resolution.
Â
This problem makes doing initial editing/selection of images time consuming, because I can't determine the sharpness/quality of imported images until I've done some kind of Develop adjustment on each image.
I'm trying to edit a set of titles made in Premiere in After Effects, and after I import the file (as a Premiere file) then load the sequence into the timeline; the preview is just a black screen throughout the entire preview. The titles never show up.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using MacBook (late 2008) OS X 10.9.2 and recently upgraded to Lightroom 5.3 from Lightroom 4. After a while, some photo started to show exclamation mark at the right hand corner of the photo (*.CR2 raw files in NAS) in grid view. When I click on the exclamation mark, it shows a dialog with following message; "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo". So, I moved previews.lrdata, which is about 9GB, to the trash and restarted the Lightroom 5, expecting Lightroom 5 to create a new previews.lrdata. However, it won't create any preview at all.

Just downloaded LR 5 and noticed that I cannot jump back from a Publish Service folder preview to a different folder preview in grid mode. The only way to view photos in another folder is to restart LR 5. This only happens when I am viewing photos in a Publish Service such as Flickr.

I updated from LR 4 using Creative Cloud installer.
I'm wondering if there is a Font Preview plugin available that will do what Illustrator SHOULD HAVE done for many years - which is to actually allow you to toggle through your font list and display the text you entered in the fonts you are clicking through - - kind of like what CorelDraw has had for the last 15 years.
Â
Imagine that... being able to review text in a selected font to facillitate the selection of an appropriate visual reference for logos, etc. Earth-shaking, I know.it seems there would be an Illustrator plugin by now that would do this???
Â
Or do I have to continue to have CorelDraw opened up so that I can review text in various fonts to determine the best choice for a given project font?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been using version 5 for years now and I’ve been looking into getting CS but the biggest thing that I’ve noticed is the brush control. I’ve been used to just selecting the opacity (like 10%) and using my stylist and going over the area and getting darker much like a traditional airbrush. I have played around with the flow and opacity but can’t get the look and the feel of v5. I don’t have all the time in the world to play around with it because it’s my friends computer, I just want to know if it can be done or if they have fazed that out with the newer versions.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI miss 2 Brushes in PS 8:
1. A "wet brush" (PS7). it gave a look like painting with slime.
2. A brush that gets Thinner in the end of a stroke. Like the stroke of a pen / feather. Or does anyone know how to get this effect, maybe with another technique.
Did they cancel those strokes or am I to blind to find them?
Im working with Photoshop CS2 and although I have all the brushes that Ive downloaded put into the right folder (program files/adobe/adobe photoshop CS3/presets/brushes) it refuses to see them within the program.
When I installed them photoshop was closed, I even rebooted the computer just in case. I tried moving them into the "adobe photoshop only" folder within the "brushes" folder and it doesn't work.
I know these are more recent brushes so they cant be too out of date for this version.
With the new paint brush features, specifically using the mixer and the new brushes, every paint stroke I make just lags and gets stuck, hanging until it catches up....I have a Xeon Quad and 18 GB of RAM in my pc.....Is there a special way to set prefs or something else??

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running an older system (WinXP 32-bit, 4 gigs of DDR2 RAM (733 mhz), lots of hard drive space (more than 1TB), 1-gig video card (ATI Radeon 4xxx series), 3GHZ intel dual-core processor, Photoshop CS5
Â
I do a lot of painting, and some of the brushes I have are a lot slower than others. Example- some brushes produce almost no lag, while others produce severe lag. (The slower brushes tend to have a lot of settings in the brush panel such as texture, scattering, dual brush, etc)
Â
I'm planning to upgrade my system soon - I'm considering 8 gigs of DDR3 Ram (2400mhz), a 3.4GHZ i5 quad-core processor, an upgraded ASUS motherboard, and probably stick with the remaining hardware for now. I'll eventually move on to 16GB of RAM. I will also be using a 64-bit version of XP and maybe even go up to Windows 7 64-bit (If I can set aside the time for all the headaches that come with something new like this)
Â
My question is, with an improved system like this, would I expect to see the lag drop significantly on these slow brushes? Or is it just the brush itself which is slow and an improved system will have no impact? I do very little in the way of filters, 95% of my workflow is pure painting with a variety of brushes and not too many layers for the most part (usually less than 50 and closer to 10 on average). So my main concern is trying to remove the slowdown when painting.
