TOPIC: Measure Tool CS vs CS4

There is a "spring-loaded key" feature in CS4.

Spring-loaded keys (switch from any tool to any other tool temporarily.)

For example you are using the paint brush tool, but you to temporarily use
the dodge tool. Simply hold down the dodge tools keyboard shortcut, use the
tool and then release and you will go back to the brush tool. One word of
warning you can not adjust the temporary tools size, in this case you can't
make the dodge tools brush smaller. You have to actually fully switch to the
tool to do this. It would be nice if you can use the bracket keys and adjust
the temporary tools size like you can when that tool is fully selected. But,
this is a nice start and one of those small things that is going to be much
loved.

Maybe this will help.

As part of the class project I suggest you go to Adobe's website and look at tutorials on clipping masks, merge layers and other topics. A clipping mask lets you use the content of a layer to mask the layers above it, so may or may not be what you need to "edit photos by removing parts of them".

If you can narrow down your question I am sure the forum members can help.

Thanks for your response. Here's more information. I have a flower picture. I just want to see the flower without the background. How can I do that?

I've used MS Publisher for many years but Adobe has me totally baffled.

that's because Photoshop and illustrator are professional application with a steep learning curve. You should go to <http://www.lynda.com> and learn.

With PhotoShop there are 47 ways to do most tasks. Look at the link below and you might get the idea that eliminating the background is not a simple point and click option.

Laura,

Russell Brown (a member of the Adobe team) has tutorials available for free on his site for several ways to extract portions of images:

<http://www.russellbrown.com/tips_tech.html>

There are also many good videos available for free on Adobe TV:

<http://tv.adobe.com/#>

Once you make it through those, if you're hungry for more then I would second Buko's recomendation for lynda.com. That site charges but if you have the time to dedicate to it, you can get a ton of training there over the course of a month.

Once you try some of those tutorials, if you have more specific questions come back here and let us know.

Obviuosly your Photshop is not pirated. I had brand new Photoshop 7
installed on the school computer and it worked very well. However, the
school just changed the domain and moved everything to a new server.
After that, my WS FTP and Photoshop stopped working. I tried to
reinstall and got the same situation as yours. I reformatted the
hardisk, create a new directory for the installation, turn antovirus
off, and make sure the account is administrator, none of them is
working.

After double clicking setup.exe, it's just nothing. When you check
task manager, the setup.exe didn't show in applications, but it did
show in processes with CPU usage 0. Don't know why.

Sorry for the confusion -- I meant "one" not in the number one -- but I mean
that I am using the same resolution for all images. "One" in this case was
to mean: "singular."

I was wondering if there was a commonly accepted CYMK color profile that is
preferred by book printers in China.

I want to scientifically crop 2 pixels away from an image. The image is not square but the crop will be. Is there a handy tool to do that? I can just eyeball it but I would rather not.
Thanks,
Lisa

Yes, if you're waiting on the scratch disk - then that load time sounds
about right.

The scratch disk is rated at 227 MB/s for write speed. Does Photoshop have a problem with SSD scratch disks?

I mean, in 20 minutes' time I should be able to write 266 GB. And by the time the file finishes loading, the full 32 GB aren't used up, so nowhere near the drive's max speed is being achieved. This is the Intel X25-E -- I think it's the gold standard right now as far as SSD performance. Maybe Photoshop is writing scratch using really small chunk sizes?

Has anyone used Photoshop with the X25-E?

Maybe your vista is indexing, running system restore, defraging the hard drive, windows defender is checking the file or your anti virus is scanning your file while trying to process your request. Not saying this is all happening at the same time but even one will slow things down. Something to look into anyways.

Raymond - no problems with any of the SSDs we tested. But we can't guarantee everybody's driver. And Windows drivers will get less performance than the drive is capable of.

That's 227 if you had a simple, single stream going -- and scratch disk access isn't that simple.

Using the Large Tiles plugin might help your performance - give it a try.

Vista indexing is my bet, now that David pointed it out. It's on by default.

Dunno; did you read Wolf Eilers post about maximizing a window frame ? If one maximizes Bridge on my dual head setup, then one can't can't drag it to span both monitors. Perhaps that's your problem ?

Hard to help in such situations without being in front of the box in question.

BTW Marionbabich is this on MacOS X ? You mention the dock so I'm a little confused, (not that it takes much). If this is the case; perhaps you want to ask in the Mac forum.

John,

I don't get that :-)

Perhaps I have a feature turned off. But if I enable "Show pop-up description for folders and desktop items" I get only the file "Type, Size, and Date Modified".

Your answer had me saying "duh...that's pretty easy"... but alas it does not do that here.

In my praxis the effect of the sRGB limits appears usually in the very
bright range, for example with red

Not necessarily. A dark saturated color can easily clip in the low end in sRGB. This one, for instance. The ProPhoto histogram on top, same converted to sRGB below.

Another real-life problem is yellow-green foliage, which will often show low-end blue clipping in sRGB. I do a lot of nature photography, forest interiors and so on, and this low-end blue clipping is a constant problem. But that's another discussion.

. Does anyone know of any CS4 options that will allow me great flexibility
in printing?

Not sure about CS4 but in CS3 it was under automate >picture package
you can print same photo into different sizes
