Hand toss images: Select the Hand tool and click-toss the image (like
flicking on the iPhone). The image should glide across the screen and
slowly come to rest.

Which is referred to in the help and prefs as "flick panning". Interesting.

And why do you love it Ann? I must say I turned it off immediately. What am I missing?

You're nothing, Vee.

When you are zoomed-in and retouching a large image, you just flick and the image starts gliding; and you can then just click on the screen to stop it dead in its tracks in that position.

Bird's Eye View and Toss Image are two new features that I find very useful.

You also develop ridiculous things like the aptly named 'image toss' what
is the point of that? As a piece of software it might be very clever but
I can't see how it will ever be useful.

I kind of liken this to a pen you might twirl in your hand as you think/work... I agree that it's not necessary, but I've found it's sort of an immersive experience, if that makes any sense. It's inaccurate, but just "catch" the image again to land on the spot I wanted.

Hope I'm at least close to the right forum for this question...

I need a new lcd monitor (now have a LaCie electron 22blue crt and Spyder2pro) for my Mac G5 OSX 10.5 setup with PS CS4. For semi-serious, but non-commercial, PS work. Looking at 1) LaCie 526 with A-TW and AS-IPS panel, 2) NEC 2690WUXI with A-TW and 3) the newer NEC 2690 WUXI2 without A-TW. The LaCie and NEC use the same panel.
Apparently, blacks are not so hot without the A-TW polarizer, especially if the screen is viewed at an angle (per some You Tube examples).
Question #1: Does this matter if one always views the screen head-on? NEC's faq website implies that the lack of A-TW on the WUXI2 doesn't really reduce overall color quality.
Question #2: LaCie offers the Blue Eye Pro system with its product. NEC's package is Spectraview software and x-rite eye one display v2. Is either one of these color management systems appreciably better than the other--or easier to master?
Thank you for any suggestions! Jack

Nonetheless, it is interesting that Diane is using a G5. I've never seen the problem on my G5 but it happens on my MacIntel all the time.

Perhaps I should take a good look at my fonts, but that's such an effort considering that this is little more than an occasional annoyance.

If the error message could just be a tad more helpful.

The message is general because it is the catchall "we don't know what happened" message.

Indeed, but you must have some idea of what you were trying to do at the time. Even that would be helpful.

The crashing here in CS4/8-core/10.5x has stopped only because I switched over to a 4-core running 10GB ram, 10.4.11, one 30" Apple monitor, CS4, at 80% memory set in Ps prefs doing an out-of-town job.

Ps11 on the 10.4.11/4-core/2.66Ghz was running with some annoying pauses applying the Fade previous adjustment (it would not release back to the image without dinking around a lot back and forth between Finder).

Further I had several hanging with blank Error message boxes that required Force Quits (no crash reports generated) while building a master-layered 1280x800 (straight pixel layers only dragged in and scaled).

I never had CS4 installed on this 4-core, so it was brand new install and fully updated (SilverFast plugin removed), and again memory set at 80% hoping I could get some work done with out crashing.

I can't speak for the "few thousand photographers in the Photoshop beta test program," but I have to wonder why I send in all the detailed crash reports, and even duplicate the problem on Adobe's remote machine, and still have no clue what the problem is — unless I have two bad Intel machines.

As far as I know it was a free down load. Besides I brought and paid for the program, just needed the lost plug in. I see nothing wrong with giving the plug in to someone who has lost it as was the case with me. I have NO pirated software-don't give it away, but I will hellp someone if I can

Thank you Art. I don't pirate programs either or pass them along.
My hard drive crashed on a 6 month old i-mac last week and I had to spend a small fortune buying the Cs3 creative suite only to find out that one simple little useful tool was missing. I understand that it is supposed to back in CS3 extended, but that would be another small fortune. When I spoke to Adobe, they told me to go buy it somewhere else!!! I can't get any straight answers from anyone there. When I tried to use one from CS2, it didn't work and neither did any of the others that I found in other forums.

I am using the warp tool, but it is not as good.

art and ELLEN,

Read your software license. It'll tell you whether you can share your software or not. If the software is a legitimate free download, then simply go back to the download site. If you registered the software, but lost the discs, contact Adobe.

I installed Adobe CS4 and now I can't find my scanner. It's an Epson1640SU. When I open directly from the scanner software it crashes. I tried adding the Twain plug-in but that did nothing and it seems from some of what I read above that's not so good anyway. I would like to scan through photoshop. Any suggestions? Thanks, Julie

yeah don't waste your $1000 software as a scanner UI.

TOPIC: how to correct for dual color casts?

It seems that I have a slight warm color cast from the top of my image down and a slight cool color cast from the bottom of my image up. The center area is color neutral. How to I correct for these color casts?

I tried an adjustment layer with linear gradients added of very pale red to transparent to kill the cool in the bottom half and a linear gradient of very pale blue to transparent to kill the warm in the upper half. The color was somewhat neutralized, but now the top and bottom are even darker, more saturated.

I'm thinking I need something like a gradient "photo filter" for Photoshop?

Anyone know the quick way to solve this problem?

Thanks,
J

I just answered my own question: I changed the color of the Dodge Tool to pale Red and took out the cool cast and now I'm going to change the color to a cool color and take out the warm cast.

Sorry.

I copied one of the existing Web Photo Galleries (Simple - Vertical Thumbnails) and have customized it. What I'm needing to change now is the Options within the Web Photo Gallery dialogue box. Under "General" I'm needing to have the "Use UTF 8 Encoding" checked, under "Large Images" I need the Resize Images: unchecked, and so forth.

Where would these setting be located?

Thanks!,
Wesley

I have had one HD failure since 1984.

We've had about a dozen, give or take, since 1991 but that is off 4-5 dozen or so multi-drive Mac and Win machines over the years. But we can usually tell when they're dying and have time to deal with them. More often than not, we use those as opportunities to put in larger new drives.

Run any mechanical drive long and hard enough and it will fail. Guaranteed.

BTW: does anybody know, why I must quit Safari when installing Photoshop?
That's ridiculous...

Sorry, it's not. You should quit all applications and utilities not required for the installation when installing any software. In other words, less chance of a corrupted installation. And it installs faster as well.
