I just noticed a link to Adobe ICC profiles but there was no description of what they are or what they do. I'm using CS4 and LR2.

Joslin, I've read the forums and find your response(s) to be quite arrogant and unhelpful. My post was addressed to folks who have first hand knowledge of the matter.

The question still remains: what specific hardware, especially video cards, did Adobe actually use to beta test CS4? It is relavent to me so I'd appreciate hearing from someone who knows.

How was it unhelpful...if you'd bother to read everything here you'd see
that people with same combinations of hardware are seeing different
results. Even if you had a full list of the myriad combinations of test
machines it wouldn't tell you if it would work for you.

I think it would be very helpful.

If folks had a list of very specific hardware and software they could rule out quite a lot of variables...absent a faulty drive or memory module, but that would be easy enough to test. I'm sure some could and would be willing to replicate the exact OS/apps/hardware/driver combo.

I've been relatively lucky so far but I don't usually do heavy processing. It is puzzling to me that people are often advised to update their video drivers...as PS was released months ago.

Which drivers, exactly, were the lab people using - two or three releases back that were working?

I've been using PS CS3 for a long while. All of a sudden it won't load. The logo comes on the screen and you can see it reading files. When it gets to "reading preferences" it stops and just hangs.

Suggestions?

Hold shift + ctrl + alt as you launch (takes a lot of fingers). You'll get a dialog asking if you want to reset preferences. You do.

Thanks. That solved the problem. New question. I created a couple of actions that aren't there now. Did this procedure delete them?

yes, unless you had them saved out in their own action sets.

I prefer just to use 'photomatix', a stand-alone program for merging to HDR and post-processing. Real simple and easy to use.

ZIP and secure? No way. RLE based compression schemes without additional scrambling can be cracked in minutes or even seconds just by brute force. If it must be a compressd file, RAR or 7z would be much better options. Apart from that the only true safety comes from full encryption and that can be done with tools such as PGP or TrueCrypt (both free/ with free versions) as well as a number of commercial products.

As Freeagent pointed out - for rasterized pixels you can only use the bounding box and even that is affected by the interpolation sub-sampling, so there is never any guarantee that resized items will match up 100%. Not really much you can do but eyeball it as best as you can.

I know I'm not going to be getting pixel-perfect results, but it seems crazy that one can't dynamically resize with respect to a specific, chosen origin point. The process of dragging a corner on the left, then dragging a corner on the right, then nudging a little, and then repeating seems like something out of MS Paint!

Thanks for the help though. It's good to know when to stop looking for non-existant answers.

Exactly. If you need straight lines, draw a path, then stroke it with whatever brush you like. The only other alternative would be the line from the shape tool used consecutively. If neither tools provide what you need --> Adobe Illustrator is your friend.

Quite possible, but at least for the brushes that limit is very high, so I don't consider it a problem. I've seen people have a few hundred in one palette (how sensible that is, is doubtful to me, anyway). Perhaps this is more a limit of rendering the preview icons in your case.... As for the actions - I think you can only have up to 32 sets, each containing 32 actions, but likewise, that doesn't strike me as being limiting at all. but what do I know - I'm certainly not a power user...

Certainly with a script, but that's just the same dance like saying "you can do it in Illustrator" when you don't seem to have it. if not some very kind person can throw it together in 5 minutes, you can wait forever, if you get my meaning, so looking into that AI thing would be smart.

TOPIC: Basic Layer Question ( I should already know).

Scenario:

I open an image/ Background layer. I duplicate that layer, and apply a Levels adjustment that I'm happy with.

Next, I decide to do an "effect" layer such as sharpening, etc., but I want to be able to control the effect of the "Sharpening" Layer with the Opacity Slider, without effecting the Levels Layer below.

If I Duplicate the Levels Layer, or select Layer New-"Layer Via Copy" for the Sharpening Layer, moving the Opacity Slider, on the Sharpening Layer, will also effect the degree of Levels adjustment on the Levels Layer, as it's a Duplicate of that layer.

"New Layer", or "New Layer From Background" doesn't seem to work either???

Best regards,

Leigh

Leigh,

It sounds like you need to be using a Level Adjustment Layer rather than duplicating your background layer and applying Level to that. You can have your Levels Adjustment Layer sitting on top of all your other layers, affecting them all. You can then dupe your background layer and do whatever you want to it while the Levels Adj. Layer affects it independently.

If you're not familiar with Adjustment Layers, read about them in the help menu. I think they will solve your problem.

If yours says 'PS3 Extended' you must have personalised it already!
