The box does not have to be checked. The checkbox just means to hide that app after launching it. The fact that Photoshop is listed there at all means its set to launch on boot. Click Photoshop in the list, then click the minus button so that Photoshop does not appear in the list.

And READ the dialog windows. Don't assume you know what a checkbox means.

Thanks Ann,

I did that too. It can't really be related to custom brushes because it happens with all the standard brushes too.

Are you on a Mac too?

Yes, I am using a G5 and running CS4 on OSX 10.4.11.

Could it be a video card issue? Which card are you using?

Could be some other cursor software you have installed... obviously you've got something for screencasts. Have you tried booting into safe mode (hold down shift while booting)?

I can't replicate the issue on my system - Quad 2.66 MacPro/OS10.5.5/Intuos 3

Thanks again,

I'll try safe mode on my main machine tomorrow.

On the Mac Book Pro, I have a GeForce 8600M GT and on the Mac Pro the RadeonX1900.

I don't have any special cursor software and Screenflow was installed after I noticed the problem.

I'm wondering if there is some CS4 setting somewhere that I'm missing since this is going on on two separate machines. . .

Thanks again for the help.

I know this doesn't speak to your question per se, Jim, but for something like your © symbol, I much prefer to apply them as a custom shape.

Size them however and whenever you want, and keep them dead-clean.

TOPIC: Image in CS4 looks lighter than in CS3?

I just started to use CS4, set up all of my color preferences and opened up an image. I thought that it looked a little bit lighter than what I remembered so I opened up the same image in CS3 and it does look different. The 3/4 tones to the shadows all appear slightly lighter than in CS3. I checked the soft proofing in CS4 and I found that when I select the Monitor RGB and apply soft proofing, that fixes the issue. But as soon as I try and select any other profile the image appears lighter than the same soft proof in CS3. Any ideas? And yes my monitor is calibrated, I have the Eizo CG 241 and I am using and 8 Core Mac Pro with 18gb ram and running OS 10.5.5.

Does anyone know why one installation of CS4 would show the Export s FLV in the Render to Video QuickTime settings, but a different machine doesn't.

Flash CS4 is installed on both machines.

We're testing it now. Without antialiasing took about 8 minutes. With antialiasing... is still running.

Yeah, that might be a problem in the antialiasing code. I just don't know why it shows up in your image and not on our other test images -- or if it'll even show up for other users. It's probably some special case in the rasterizer that the rasterizer team will have to track down.

As for size - Photoshop should rasterize and work up to the document limit of 300,000 x 300,000 pixels. Of course, that might take longer....

Thanks Chris--

In the "Import PDF" dialog box, the natural size comes up: 50.149 x 50.143. If I change the resolution to 1200ppi (a little over 60,000 x 60,000 pixels) and hit "OK" I get an alert box: "A number between 0.001 and 26.666 is required. Closest value inserted." When I hit OK to that, I get 26.666 x 26.663 at 1200 ppi.

Unless there's another way than File->Open to rasterize an AI file in PS, PS won't let me build larger than 32,000 pixels on a side.

If this helps: the AI file was originally built by importing postscript code into AI CS4. That code was found here: <http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=387813&postcount=7>

I updated some of the value definitions (number of windings of the spiral, width of the lines, distance between the lines) but didn't otherwise change the code.

I manually corrected some of the curves in Illustrator, applied a "simplify path" on the outer parts of the spiral arms, then made 18 duplicates, adjusted the widths and the color, and saved.

If there's any other information I can provide, please let me know. I appreciate your attention to my file.

TOPIC: Epson Stylus Pro 3800 - Prints too dark.

The last word on the subject is: Had a tutor in . . . . went over everything . . . . seems CS has this problem with the Epson 3800 . . . . dark prints and noticeable separations in gradients . . . . got a good tech support person in CA . . . . sounds like a way of getting there but not from here. He had me assign the profile Adobe RGB (1998) to the print with no color management. In the printer driver color management dialogue, Mode: Adobe RGB. In Print Settings, choose your Media and activate Advanced Settings>Superfine 1440 dpi and disable Finest. At the end I get a print I can live with and very close to my display . . . . it's a beautiful printer. I believe my trouble is in Photoshop. I just wanted to learn how to make it work for me and I'm not as discriminating as you people. I'm almost there. When I went to CS I ditched my copy of Photoshop 7. I've been told 7 doesn't have the problem. The tutor told me she thought that my prints were wonderful and that I'm anal retentive . . . . I guess I'm a perfectionist. Sigh . . . . perhaps . . . . I don't know . . . . I don't think so. The way I see it is, if I wouldn't buy what I print how can I expect anyone else to buy them.

I have read everything advised here. There wasn't a whole lot they could tell me that you guys haven't already told me. I've never tried the no color management. When I've worked so hard in Photoshop to create something I hate not using Photoshop to determine the colors. Guess I will need to get my head around this one.

Be well and be happy.

If you hadn't seen this option before, it means only that you probably had attached external drives that were not formatted to Mac HFS+ (Extended, Journaled). A FAT32 drive, for instance, does not work.

It just always irritates me when something doesn't work and I can't explain
it!

Then it's incomprehensible why are you still using QXP. :/

a locked background layer is a nuisance to anyone creating serious composites. Still doesn't make sense why you can't just click the "lock" icon to unlock it. "Photoshop help" wasn't even able to answer me the question. I've worked with photoshop since 2.0. It always bothered me since they changed it whenever that was, but not enough to take the time to really figure out how to unlock it. I always just duplicated the layer and deleted the original. option click will make my life easier.

Ok...here's my CS4 + video card on a 1st generation Mac Pro running Leopard 10.5.5 story.
I had two 7300GT cards installed and I could turn on "Enable OpenGl Drawing", but only "Vertical Sync" could be enabled under Advanced Settings.
I then installed an 8800GT card in the first slot and left the 2nd slot with the 7300GT card for a total of two cards and 4 monitors.
When I restarted Photoshop with the new 8800 card installed, GPU Settings no longer detected Video Card and Enable OpenGl Drawing was dimmed out.
So then I installed AllowOldGPUS.plugin, and everything worked including ALL the features in Advanced Settings.
What's up with this....? It's my understanding that the plugin is for older cards not newer ones, and that the 8800 should work without having to use the plugin.
So strange, considering it worked with my 7300 cards, which are lesser cards.
Also....anyone have any idea of what all those setting are for in "Advanced Settings"...what they do and if you need to turn them on or not?

Let us know how stable CS4 proves to be with the two dissimilar cards being used in conjunction with the AllowOldGPUS.plugin.
