Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase completely without having to go over it multiple times?
It started randomly about two weeks ago and I thought it was a glitch that would just go away. But now I am getting sick of using only the block eraser on one size. Help?

The easiest thing to start with is to reset the Eraser Tool.
Right click on the Eraser icon in the tool options bar and then click on Reset Tool.

  • How do I make the Brush Tool remember settings for each new stroke?

    Using
    Windows 7 x64
    Illustrator CC 2014
    I'm finally attempting to draw directly in Illustrator and already want to shoot myself.
    How do I make the Brush Tool remember stroke size and profile?
    I need each stroke to be tapered at both ends and be a certain stroke size.
    But each stroke I make, I have to edit that one path  to be correct.
    What gives?

    Got some results today so I'll share.
    Thanks again for reminding me about the 'basic appearance setting'.

    Try this.
    Check your username and password in the outgoing mail server setting. Fill it in even of it says that it's optional.

    Where is the Patterns pop-up menu, and how do I make the little crapper pop up? (huh. They don't have and emoticon for furious.)
    I have been searching the "Help" system for hours.  All I want to do is find a picture of an empty blue sky to put behind two airplanes.

    From the Toolbox, select the Paint bucket tool
    In the Paint bucket options at the top, change from "Foreground" to "Pattern".
    Click on the Pattern block to the right and the Pattern dialog will pop up.

    we have recently upgraded to windows 7, how do i make the toolbars and panel pane larger. They are too small to view

    A larger monito is only helpful if the resolution is the same as your current monitor, and they tend to have higher resolutions as you get larger, so don't rush out an buy a larger monitor and expect miracles. If you have a 22" now and it's "HD" (1920 x 1080), you'll see some change as you go up in size, but you'd probably need at least a 27" screen at 1920 x 1080 to notice a real difference.
    Right click on the desktop and choose Screen Resolution and you can see the current settings (probably the maximum value which is recommended) and other settings you can use. Lowering the resolution will make everything on the screen larger, but less stuff will fit. Used to be, too that ID did not work will at less than the maximum resolution setting for any monitor.
    I did not mean to use the larger fonts feature, by the way, as far as I know that doesn't affect the ID user interface.
    The point I was making, rather badly, is that those of us with declining eyesight are getting shafted because there is no way to make use of all the monitor potential and adjut the user interface to make things visible. I just bought a 30" monitor to replace my old 27" which had 1920 x 1200 resolution and was pretty usable, things were about the same size as my old sony 20" running at 1600 x 1200, but even though it is larger in terms of screen size, the new monitor is even higher resolution and things are actually smaller. The only reason I can use it with ID is I know where everything is.

  • How can I make the rolumn and row headers appear on the printed sheet?

    I am working in Numbers'09. I want to print out my chart with the column letters and row numbers showing.
    How can I make the rolumn and row headers appear on the printed sheet?

    g,
    Those annotations are called "Labels", and they are only visible during editing when a cell selection is made within the table. If you need to have the labels on your final output, you can create labels in Text Boxes and position them adjacent to the table.

  • When I print a webpage from FF how can I make the text and images bigger?

    I am trying to print an eticket for a flight. The text on the schedule comes out too small and the UPC symbol's black lines look ganged together. I know I can view it zoomed up, but how do I make the text and images stay zoomed so they will print out that way?

    I upgraded but the problem remains. At least with Firefox I do have the option to print a selection even if it mangles the top and bottom lines. With Safari or Chrome I have no option to print a selection. At the moment the only way to get a complete copy of the selection is to copy to openoffice etc and print from there.

  • My wifi network is 802.11n but there are times changing for 802.11g, and have to restart ... after the update for Mountain Lion

    My wifi network is 802.11n but there are times changing for 802.11g, and have to restart ... after the update for Mountain Lion...  Help!!!
    Several problems with Mountain Lion, APP STORE (login/logout error), WIFI(802.11n for 802.11g), MAIL (horrible)... Apple, what is happening?   

    Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

    Read the documentation at the links.  They won't hurt your data. 
    Basically smc reset is shutdown, pull your plug for 15 seconds, plug it back in, wait 5 seconds, and reboot.  Harmless to you.  Resets the smc.
    Pram reset is similar but you need to push commnd-option-P-R after the boot chime.  Read what does.

  • Can my macbook pro mid 2007 3.1 AA896ll/a handle a SSD and how do I make the switch. Can I do a clean install of Snow Leopard from an original cd

    Here is my problem, I want to upgrade my macbook pro mid 2007 3.1 AA896ll/a to an Solid State Drive, a Crucial m4 256 gb, I want to know if the macbook will be able to handle it and how do I do the switch. also once I install the drive will I be able to boot from my Snow Leoard original cd and do a clean install. Thank you

    Coming from a 5,400 RPM drive that's nearly filled up, fragmented and deoptimized to a fresh install of OS X on a SSD will of course be a improvement.
    However fresh installing OS X on a new 5,400 RPM will also see a improvement, boot up in 30 seconds.
    A fresh install of OS X on a new 7,200 RPM drive will also see a improvement, boot up in 25 seconds.
    A fresh install of OS X on a new SSD will see the best improvement, boot up in 20 seconds on fast SATA connections.
    OS X still requires time to setup and that takes about 20 seconds despite how fast your boot drive is, that's why sleep was created.
    Things to consider: The higher cost of a SSD, the limiting capacity (hard drives hold way more up), the SATA I speed limitations (slows up on large file transfers), the difficulty to scrub the SSD of unwanted data (like you can a hard drive), and it's limited write capability. Also the smaller SSD's are faster than the larger ones.
    SSD's are shock proof, which is their slight advantage over hard drives.
    I see a 120GB SSD in a SATA I machine as being a waste, it's too small of a storage space (500GB+ is ideal), the SATA I connection is slow and other factors that make a 7,200 RPM drive a better option in that machine.
    One can get a 750 GB 7,200 RPM hard drive for about the same price and still maximize their boot time in the process, also being able to scrub their drive of unwanted data easily.
    SSD's can't be scrubbed, one has to fill 50% of the remaining space with many, very small files to overwrite the free space, then do another 50% again to defeat the Trim/wear leveling as SSD's write to less used location each time. If one fills a OS X boot drive up completely, it won't function or won't boot up.
    If you do this fill routine regularly with software, then you prematurely wear out the SSD as it has limited writes. Why Disk Utility doesn't offer zero or 7x erase for SSD's.
    If your in the 10% of Internet traffic that's going to adult sites, then the ability to scrub the caches and storage drive of embarrassing unwanted data is a necessity. Especially in the light of software and hardware that can read the SSD of deleted data.
    Trick links and redirects on poisoned sites can firebomb your Mac with some pretty bad pictures and your hidden caches as well, especially if you don't like to pay.
    IT personal have at their disposal free open source forensic software that basically aggregates all the past behavior done on the machine into a nice, easy to view format with times, dates and when and where content was downloaded from.
    Since one has to give up their password for repair folks to recover data and fix the machine...
    I think a SSD is less of a benefit over a 7,200 hard drive for that particular model of Mac for a mere few seconds faster boot time.

  • Firefox update 8 for windows does not recognise me as an administrator. Windows 7 home control panel shows i am an administrator. What gives and how can i make the update?

    hardware: Lenovo G56 laptop
    OS Windows 7 Home
    usual logon is using Veriface, but that executes my password.
    The upgrade window asks to choose between two profiles:
    one is mine, where username and password are pre-filled and greyed out, the other is called Administrator, with no password. If I insert my password in this field it saya 'no such account' and if Is elect my own logon (I am the only user btw!) it says I do not have sufficient privileges!
    I am going to create a second user, also an Administrator, and see if that might overcome this issue...

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version if possible.
    *Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • How can I make the start and end of a move smooth?

    In Premiere Elements 11 I often have zooms or pans which I want to begin gradually, then speed up slightly and then slow down as each one ends. I've tried every comination and permutation of temporal and spatial interpolation, and I still can't seem to get it quite right. Often I wind up with the image doing a graceful arc (no doubt the result of a bezier interpolation) rather than just moving in a straight line. Is there just a simple solution? I just can't stand having a move start and stop with jerky linear motion.
    Thanks in advance.

    If you want to change what the clip rubberband represents, you can click on the tiny triangle next to the Timeline's clip's title.
    Please refer to blog post on Video and Audio Track Content Rubberband
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/06/pe11-video-and-audio-track-rubberband.html
    In the case of a video clip, the default for its rubberband is Opacity. But that can be changed to Motion. As I wrote in the blog post
    The Motion Property options are Position, Scale, Constrain Proportions, Rotation, Anchor Point, or Anti-Flicker filter. The Opacity choice is just Opacity.
    Keyframing of these properties are reflected as white dots on the clip's rubberband and can be adjusted at that level.
    If you do not see the white dots keyframes in the clip's rubberband, then right click the file, select "Show Clip Keyframes", follow to Motion and Opacity, pick one, and follow to find your property named, and select it.
    At the rubberband level, right clicking a keyframe (white dot) there, offers opportunities for Linear, Bezier, Auto Bezier, Continous Bezier, Hold, Ease In, Ease Out, and Delete. If you select Bezier, do you see the keyframe handles?
    I have not done this, but you might want to see how much of the following you can get done in Premiere Elements using the Final Cut description of "Smoothing Keyframes with Bezier Hangles".

  • How do i make the back and forward buttons function? they are visible but not functional.

    I have firefox 8.0.1 and my back and forward button are not working. They are visible but not functioning. I have tried starting in safemode and without any add-ons and the back and forward buttons are still not functioning. What do I need to do to make the buttons functional?

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
