Ben are you a moron? or did you not realize CS4 was released before Apple released the gesture sh!t on the track pad?

I'm betting on the moron status.

Buko,

I'll take your bet ;-)

Of course the track pad gestures were published before CS4 release, otherwise how does Ps support it. That's not the thrust of this whole thread. The OP has always been talking about the new Late '08 button-less trackpad.

Ben for some reason is venting at a straw man.

Hi Ben,

Did you post to carry this discussion forward or was that just a vent?

The OP has always been concerned with turning off the gestures particularly because the new button-less trackpad (released after CS4) makes then unworkable. Ps provided a solution, and we continue to look at ways to make it workable with the new hardware.

Constructive opinion is appreciated. Shouting and name calling (from all sides) is noise.

regards,
steve

Do You want to apply Adjustments or edit the File Info?

Both are possible in Bridge. Please clarify exactly what you want to do, before anyone here wastes time addressing something you don't need

I have several dozen images with lens distortion which needs correction. The distortion is almost uniformly the same in each image. Rather than open each image up, I'd like to apply a lens distortion adjustment to all the images without opening them up.

If this is possible, are other adjustments possible, such as Levels, USM, for example?

Am overdue for CS4 upgrade needless to say. Thanks for any help you may offer.

One way would be to create an action using "Insert Menu Item" to call the functions, once this is created use File - Scripts - Script Events Manager to call this action on open event.

Paul,

Thanks very much. That worked perfectly. I've never used scripts but was so close as I had done 1st part of your solution and used that as a shortcut action when loading images (when I really could be bothered).

So my case is closed and will leave this as a permo script. I'll have to check out this script business, seems there will be lots of other good things I could do!?

Cheers,
Cam.

You don't have choices except in the English version where you can choose International or US. Both English. A Swedish version (which we use at work, personally I always run English version for various reasons) has Swedish and nothing else. So I think the Spanish version is made the same way. (I am aware of the multilanguage discussions before release of CS4.)

Restart Photoshop.
If that doesn't help, restart machine.
2GB RAM is very little for large files - particularly if you don't have a dedicated scratch disc. With alrge files PS is using your harddisk for scratch if you don't have a dedicated external scratch disk. Dependign on how much free space you have on it, the performance of the machine will suffer more or less. Restart always helps as that gets rid of the scratch. As long as PS is still on, scratch is still used.

I did try shutting down and/or restarting PS. It didn't seem to make much of a difference. I do have a dedicated scratch disc as well. Guess I better look into buying more RAM as restarting is the only thing I can do right now that helps. Thanks so much!

Yes it sounds like your limited RAM is the most likely culprit, but how full the hard drives are and how they are configured can also be relevant. Also it would help to know which computer (iMac/MB/MBP/MP/Mini) and how hard drives are connected.

I am running OS 10.5.6 with CS4 2,8 gig Macbook Pro with 120gig scratch disk and 4 gig ram
I'm trying to merge 6 700-800 KB sized images which with a machine like I have should be done in seconds...well it seems to be working just fine but the result is NO IMAGE !
I've read several other posts on this but no actual answer.....

Any solutions for this yet ?

do the images actually have anything in common so Photoshop can stitch the images together?

in addition the canon software can stitch the images together just fine..heard so much touted about this feature in CS4 but I've yet to have a SINGLE result in the 8 months I've had the program.

So you have overlap in each of the images?

I use it all the time works great.

Can you tell us exactly how you are doing it?

If completely zeroing out your drive does not work, the drive is bad, cannot be trusted to be reliable, and needs to be removed and relegated to paperweight or doorstop status.

You're welcome. Trashing the original log-in is about all you can do when it becomes corrupted.

An Archive and install will fix a corrupt user, and is usually much faster than copying everything over to the new account.

Mac OS 10.4.11, Powermac G5, 1.5 gig RAM. After working for a few minutes in Photoshop CS4, the dreaded non disappearing window would appear saying "Could not complete your rquest because of program error". Had to force quit each time. Adobe support was quite helpful. After trying numerous fixes (trashing preferences, repairing permissions, addressing colorsync issues, deleting version Cue, etc, etc., we finally found that the problem stopped when we turned off all the fonts in Fontbook. We left it that I would experiment with different fonts to find where the conflict is. Unfortunately, I have >600 fonts. Anyone have any suggestions about likely suspects?
Also, has anyone else run into a similar situation? I'm wondering if this is a common problem and Adobe will come out with another repair update.
Thanks in advance for any input.

FontAgent Pro is the best font manager out there. It will find corrupt fonts. Fontbook is pretty sucky as font managers go.

Next you only have 1.5GB RAM 10.4 takes up a chunk of that Photoshop needs as much RAM it can get. And you have 600 fonts active at the same time. Each font is an application that uses RAM. So with that little RAM no wonder it will not work.

TOPIC: Resampling v JPG question

I've concluded that with JPG compression, it's always better to push compression to a lower quality rather than down sample an image. My tests have involved mostly high-frequency images (which I deal with more often). Particularly when output size or spec might be unknown, down sampling seems problematic at best. Obviously compression presents many of the same problems as resampling. Where is it best to take the hit?

Any opinions on the best method for getting on-disk file size down? Resample? Compress more? Objective analysis will be scoffed at but secretly absorbed.

Thanks,
J

Disks are cheap why ruin your images saving as Jpgs.
