What am I doing wrong?
For one thing you forgot to mention the version of Photoshop you use.
Did you place the image as a Smart Object? Liquify got Smart-capabilities with Photoshop CC.

  • HT201250 I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them?

    I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them?  No, they were not part of previous Time Machine backups, and I have checked both the hard drive the documents were lost on and the new one that I now use for backups. Any suggestions would be helpful, as the lost files are old pictures that are gone forever. :[ Thanks!

    1. Yes, if both drives are formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    2. Reformat the drives if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and remove the drive with the pictures from the list of items set to be excluded.

    Are the lines like psychedelic herringbone?  If yes, I had that happen once, it was something serious, like the
    Logic board. The good news is that it was fixed without any loss of data on the hard drive. Take it in to have Apple look at it ASAP.  I took it to TekServe at the time, they are very nice about preserving your data and user library when possible.
    Good luck and don't panic.

  • When I go to the calander function on my I pad and double tap... Nothing happens.... Can not enter calander data... What am I doing wrong?

    When I go the calander and double tap nothing happens.... What am I doing wrong?

    There should be a + sign in the lower right corner. Tap that to add an event. If there is no + sign - go to Settings>iCloud>Calendar and toggle the setting on and off.
    If you want to sync your calendar with iCloud - leave it on - but don't sync the calendar from your computer or you may get duplicate entries.

  • How to use different xsl's for user first time logon in OAM

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to use different stylesheets (xsls) for employees and customers in OAM. How we can configure different XSLs for user first time logon to OAM (i.e for change password and configuring challenge and responses).
    Any pointers on this is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance..
    Srikanth

    XSLs displayed are controlled by the StyleCookie. So if you can set the value of this cookie to be different front customers and employees, they will see different styles.
    You can do this in various locations -> from the web server, from the url, custom plugins, etc....

  • (Photoshop CS2) It crashes every time I use my brush tool for a long time. Help?

    Hi,
    I have recently been having some trouble with my photoshop cs2 (it isn't my computer because it is easily quicker them the majority of computer I have been on and it's only a recent problem). I can use all my tools very easily without having any little pauses and it wont crash, but with my brush tool, after using the brush for a long stroke without unclicking it crashes. Well, it pauses for 2 mins- 4 hours (wont let me click on another tool or carry on drawing or select layers and such). Since I am an artist and work on photoshop for a living , not being able to use the brush tool is a huge problem for me. I have no intension of updating my software to cs3/4/5, (as I don't want to pay for all that software and then find that it crashes again). I recently got my new bamboo graphics tablet and it is even slower when using that. This is also a very recent problem so I was wondering if anyone else had had this before and found a way around it?
    Thanks!,

    I actually believe there are updates for Photoshop itself, not through Mac Software Update.  You should check if there are any updates for the product on this website.  Photoshop also tends to glitch sometimes.  For example, on PSCS4 for Mac, after opening the program, and changing the toolbar to the traditional 2-column style, the quck mask button is totally cut off unless I switch it to the 2-column style twice.

  • Firefox will not load Java in Linux - even after following all instructions on net I can find - what am I doing wrong??

    The problem I've got is I'm currently running Puppy Linux on my laptop.
    Now I've tried everything I can to get Java working under either Firefox, Chromium or Seamonkey (I have all three browsers on my computer).
    For firefox and seamonkey I have tried the following -
    downloaded the tar.gz file for java
    unpacked it to /opt/java
    gone to /user/lib/mozilla/plugins and run the command
    ln -s /opt/java/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
    to create the symbolic link to the plugin
    checked that the plugin is executable (actually even tried giving everything full permission to read/write and execute it)
    For Chromium done a similar thing but put the symbolic link in /usr/lib/chrome-linux/plugins folder instead.
    Restarted the web browser, even tried restarting X Server in case the browser is running somewhere in the background.
    All three browsers can pick up all the other .so plugins in that folder except Java.
    When I click check plugins on firefox I get to the page about "Missing Java? - For your safety Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Java. Please upgrade to the latest version".
    However the version I've downloaded is Version 7 Update 9 which is exactly the same one that is available as the latest version from Java themselves (it was only downloaded from that link a couple of minutes before, I've even tried re-downloading it just in case there has been an update within those 5 minutes).
    If I go into the Java folder and run ControlPanel the Java control panel pops up and it knows where Java is installed and everything.
    So what on earth is going on? Am I installing the plugin in the right directory? I'm guessing so as that is where all the other plugins are stored and Firefox, Chrome and Seamonkey are picking all the others up fine, or could there be an older version of Java lurking around somewhere on my system that Firefox, Seamonkey and Chrome are all trying to use?
    I've also tried downloading the RPM and installing that into the /usr/java folder and replacing the symlink from /opt/java to the one in the /usr/java folder and still nothing.
    I just really can't understand it 'cos it's picking up all the other plugins like Gecko and even installed Flash in the same way and that works fine.

    Thanks cor-el looks like Oracle need to update their linux installation instructions then. If only I'd have known that before doing all sorts to get it working.
    I now have Java in Firefox, Chrome and Seamonkey :) :) :) :) :).

  • HT1553 What is the best system for a real time cloud back up of documents?  My MacBook crashed, and I lost 2 hours of writing and could not find a way to restore it.

    My MacBook Pro crashed while I was rewriting a book, lost more than an hour of work and could not find a way to restore it.  Did not have Time Machine set up, but it appears that Time Machine does not have Real Time back up and documents must be manually stored.
    I need an automatic, real time back up to keep this from happening - I'm not happy my MacBook has crashed twice now.   What is the best cloud system for Real Time backup?   Thanks to anyone who can help me, I'm not the most astutde computer guy... James

    One way would be to use Dropbox, or a similar sync service, and just keep your critical documents in the appropriate folder. Dropbox, at least, keeps a local copy of everything and syncs automatically to the cloud whenver a change is made. Dropbox is free for up to 2GB of data.
    There are also true backup services such as CrashPlan+:
    http://www.crashplan.com/consumer/crashplan-plus.html
    which provide automatic backups whenver a change is detected. It's not free, but usually such services aren't too expensive unless you need to back up a lot of data.

  • What are the needed tools for JDBC???

    iam new to this field, i want to know what are the required tools for JDBC??
    i know that i need java.sql and javax.sql packages, but how can i get them???
    what about the drivers???
    thnx in advance

    You need to go to the vendor's web site such as Oracle and download the jar file for that particular database. Example: ojdbc14.jar for an oracle database and copy it to the 'lib' folder of your project and then include it with your project. Within that jar file, you will have datasource, preparedStatement, resultSet objects. You will need to read up on how to instansiate the datasource for that database from the vendor's documentation.

  • Keyer edge tool does not work. What am I doing wrong?

    When I am trying to soften the edge on my green screened image I try to use what they call the edge tool.
    But it does nothing to the edge of the image, it makes the entire keyed image more transparent or more opaque...  this is totally useless... I thought I remembered this working in a previous version but maybe not...
    what am I doing wrong? Or is it just not working correctly.
    Thanks for any help.

    Do you see the Multifox item to open a new window in the File of Firefox menu?
    You will see a "New Identity Profile" (Ctrl+Alt+M) in the "Firefox > New Tab" menu and in the File menu (press F 10 if the menu bar is hidden) and in the context menu if you right-click a link.<br />
    Choosing that menu entry will open a new window with a new set of cookies marked multifox-profile-2 in the cookie manager.
    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.
    If this hasn't helped then also try to delete the addons.sqlite file.

  • Recommended tool for technical illustrations to be embedded in FrameMaker document?

    I'm new to Framemaker and don't know, if this is the right tool for me.
    I have written a technical document of about 500 pages using MS-Word. Now I want to figure out, if FrameMaker would be a good alternative. I think it could be.
    But one of my needs is to be able to create technical illustrations (diagrams with shapes with text and arrows, lines and arrows linked to the shapes when repositioned).
    In my opinion the capabilities of FrameMaker to create such illustrations are very limited.
    Currently I create the illustrations using MS-Word-2010. I think concerning illustrations MS-Word is more capable than FrameMaker.
    On the other hand the capabilities of Adobe Illustrator are plenty too much for me.
    Can you recommend some external tool for creating illustrations, which can be easily integrated into a FrameMaker document?
    Regards,
    Martin

    Import the ai file directly into the FrameMaker doc.
    Select where you want the illustration to be located (use the smart select tool and click on the area in your text flow)
    File>Import>File
    If you want to have the illustration in the document to automatically update when the drawing changes, select Import By Reference.
    Once imported you have the option of positioning where you want it to be located relative to the text.
    Right click the anchored frame, select Anchored Frame
    Select the Anchoring Position, Alignment, etc.
    Adobe Illustrator is all you need to create quality Technical Illustrations.

  • I am trying to use motion tracking to have text follow a section of the background.The text box follows the motion path, but the text just sits there.  What am I doing wrong?

    I am trying to use motion tracking to have text follow a section of the background.The text box follows the motion path, but the text just sits there.  What am I doing wrong?

    Motion basically looks at the the source footage and it's timing (in the timing section of the Inspector) when analyzing for tracking.  Filters are basically ignored by the tracker.  Retiming actions, like time re-mapping, or retiming behaviors that are applied before the tracker should be used by the tracker.  Did you change the timing after doing the tracking?  If so this would also require you to re-track the shot.  Understanding that you found a workaround, describing the effects you applied would help to explain why you ran into problems.
    Cheers!
