Ps CS6 Request: User control over display quality versus performance (modified request)

It would be great if there was user control of the zoom threshold at which display quality is sacrificed for performance.
I mean the threshold which determines the maintaining of bit-depth in the calculation of the composite which is displayed when working with 16-bit documents, and the accuracy of displayed layer effects in documents with any bit-depth.
The threshold currently seems to be approx 64% zoom - not much of a zoom out when dealing with large images destined for print.
Please provide a control for that threshold in Preferences > Performance.

Thank you for posting, conroy. I have an example of the inconvenient effects of Photoshop CS6 allowing the zoomed-out composite to be innaccurate.
Here's a real-world application for everyone to see.
In my below example you're not seeing a 16-bit doc, just 8-bit, BTW.
Top C has Layer Styles. Bottom C is a copy that's been merged with a blank layer, to effectively "collapse" it's Layer Styles into a normal single pixel layer.
The difference is staggering. This file is a massize 28x36 300DPI (8,400px  X  10,800px) poster.
So on something like this, while working and tweaking everything you work worked zoomed out so you see enough of the document to be able monitor it's evolution.
I was working at 25% zoom (depisted above) for a quite a while. Got everything good, but then zoomed in only to see that each letter actually looked like pretty bad compared to what the zoomed composite was telling me.
I had to revise all letters.
For hi-res print I guess I better get used to zooming in and out constantly, so I know what to trust.
I wonder if this issue will ever be rectified. Like Conroy suggests, maybe a setting that allows users to voluntarily sacrifice performance in favor of a more accurate composite?

  • User control over Flash content?

    Speaking strictly as a user, I want better control over Flash content.  I am tired of Flash-based movies automatically playing just because I visit a web site - especially with audio enabled.  I want to be able to configure my browser so that Flash content cannot automatically start.  I don't want to disable Flash entirely, I just want to be in control (regardless of the web site developer's intentions).   Is this possible?   If I desire to view the animation, I will intiate playback myself.

    There are a few widget libraries out there. Google for Synclast or J2ME Polish.

  • Login/Logout sync with user control over folders to sync

    We have a user who needs modify the folders that are synced periodically.
    The user has multiple computers that they keep synced with OS X Server 10.4.10.
    We turned background sync to unmanaged and they are able to modify their settings and left login/logoff sync as managed. Any time they login/logoff auto sync does not occur.
    How do we configure their settings so that they can adjust the folders that get synced and still have auto sync at login/logoff?

    Not even sure you can do this but you might look for Login/Logout Hooks that can perform the action your looking to do. There would have to be a way to shell-script the Sync part of RHD which I'm not sure you can.
    On the Server Side you can control what get auto synced and what does not in WGM. Then you just set it all to auto on login/logout.

  • User control over Flex availability in the Browser?

    Hi all,
    New guy to this Flex development. Basic question, I hope.
    Comparing Flex to JavaScript, can the user selectively disable Flex in the browser? It would seem a lot of headaches with JavaScript is dealing with this configurable option (I've historically avoided client side scripting because of this concern). I would assume the plugin could be removed and/or disabled? If so, is there an "agreed to" response under such a condition?
    thanks!
    Karl

    Yea
    When you launch a flex app the html template that holds the swf has a place in it that says 'Flash player required download' and 'Place alternative HTML content here' if no player is detected.
    You can put alterative instrucation in here.
    There are a few ways and an offical Adobe kit around for detecting flash player versions, and most of these use javascript.
    The thing is I weigh it up when it comes to developing an app and Flex is my choice.  I like working on the flash platform.  I think the biggest bonus is that whatever you do in Flash / Flex its gonna work across all browsers on all platforms.  And now with AIR you can also deploy these as desktop apps across all platforms.
    My biggest niggle with javascript, css etc, was that different browser seem to treat bits differently.  I end up doing hacks ansd workarounds, and usually for the sake of getting it to work in I.E.
    Yea server side is your definite way rendering HTML to make sure everyone gets it.  However if your taking Rich Internet App, then thats not gonna provide the tools.  I;d say when it comes to client side code Flex is tops for me.  And one big thing is that Flash has been around for over 10 years and according to the stats installed on 98% on internet connected machines. Thats gotta be good.
    Thats just my opinion, but if your client side coding, its Flex for me. 

  • User control over font size?

    I wonder if there is a way the user can control the font size
    in the .chm file from the viewer. I know you can go to your
    internet browser and change the font size there, but this is a bit
    convoluted. Is there a control available in the chm viewer that I
    am missing?

    Hi Margaret
    Indeed you may add a Font button to the .CHM viewer.
    Unfortunately, RoboHelp doesn't expose a method to do it easily.
    You would have to do it by compiling using Microsoft HTML Help
    Workshop.
    Here is a link to a page explaining it.
    Click
    here and read all about it
    I'm not sure if CSS font sizes will override this or not.
    Additionally, you may wish to try pressing and holding the Alt key
    while rolling the mouse wheel (if you have one) as this sometimes
    changes the font.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Is there any user control on the iphone anymore?

    Ok so I hate the new OS 7 but before you write me off as just complaining please read further:
    I have a very hard time reading the phone because of the white backgrounds on everything , I understand some like this. Is there any way to change this?
    I also can't read my text very well because of the white on green text bubbles ... Any way to change this?
    Can someone please tell me what apple really did to enhance the user experience? And what is an important feature they have added to the new OS that really stands out over the 6 aside from the horrible layout change? I read what they said the new features were and I didn't see anything that wasn't just a cheap trick. Maybe someone can show me something that will revive some bit of like into the phone again?
    But back to the settings change. I went to accessibility and upped the contrast and bolt text but that only helps slightly . I inverted the colors and thought awesome but then realized it inverts everything so that won't work. I could deal with black back grounds on everything .
    Any help please ? I'm not made of money so I'm stuck with the 5 for a few weeks at least. Every time I use the phone it angers me so it's not a very pleasant experience !!!
    Some people really have issues with the eyes and I just want to have a little control over the look of the phone. Really not digging the way it's swiped to delete now and the way they have the search and control panel I can't get a good swipe on those to save my life. Hate is a good word right now.

    Those minimal changes do nothing that I asked. I'm not sure why you linked that. I have read the very simplistic, almost null, options of the ios7 . I appreciate the attempt to help. It seems that the answer is NO, there is no user control over the new layout.
    My ultimate answer to gaining user control over their phone is to sell the iPhone and buy a galaxy .

  • Image display QUALITY controll bar/change/modifi

    Hello
    the bridges display quality of jpegs and raw images is awfull!!!
    i see blockiness in all of my images, how can i watch my photos like this??
    there is no crispness!
    u should made a picture display quality controll bar like speed-------quality
    so the user can select!

    Frosti,
    This request has been made many times. The development team are aware of the need for 100% previews. However, such a feature, if provided, will not be available until at least Bridge 2. Based on previous upgrade cycles that would be late 2006, at earliest. In the meantime you might consider providing more information on the type of images you're trying to preview (i.e. Raw, JPG, etc).
    Also, I would suggest that you soften the tone of your comments otherwise you'll find yourself with Read Only access.

  • Users Authorized to Display Other Users Spool Request

    Hi experts,

    I just want to know how to restrict the users seeing their spool request alone.
    I also checked the object S_SPO_ACT but am not able to get the things done.
    Pls suggest some ideas.

    Take a look in the FAQ thread at the top of the forum. There is a note about this toward the bottom.
    The note is rather long and complicated. Also search here for discussions about transaction SP02.

  • Where are display quality pref's in CS6 AI?

    What happened to the display quality preference in AI CS6? I've got banding in a blend on screen, and can't tell if it's artifact of display or truly a problem with the blend.

    rexprints wrote:
    But my question was about rendering of gradients, not necessarily in the EPS file format.
    That sounds different in #2.
    Anyway: Banding on screen will not necessarily mean banding in print. Talk to your print service provider, because it depends on their equipment and of course on how exactly your stuff is printed. There are lots of different techniques and machines around.

  • Capture a user's mouse control over the player

    There is video streaming using RTP to the QuickTime viewer in a web page
    The major issue is that the z-index of the player seems to be infinite, not allowing mouse events to be captured over the top of the player
    Is there anyway to get around this? I'd like to use javascript to *capture a user's mouse control over the player if possible.*

    mgulesian, you might want to query the system properties.
    System.getProperty("user.name")Please note that this property is subject of security constraints (and there're good reasons for this, read the Java Tutorial, Trail: Essential Java Classes, Lesson: Accessing System Resources for details). For example, web applications running inside Tomcat are not allowed to query this property by default. Think twice before doing this, you have been warned!

  • Display quality differences between different user accounts

    My friend's MBP 15 (2009) has a noticeable difference in display quality between his main account and his guest account - in his account colors are 'blown out' more, and the detail of fonts on menu items or the aqua buttons are not as clear.
    We've tried copying over any plist items which mention 'display' from Library>preferences, and both accounts use the same color profile (the standard one). What else might explain the difference?

    Check System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing tab. Check that the enhance contrast slider is all the way to the left. (normal).

  • The newest version of iTunes is awful when it comes to Cloud syncing-file management. I'm constantly frustrated with what iTunes 'chooses to eliminate from my mobile device and settings aren't fine-grained enough to allow for real user control.

    I'm endlessly frustrated with iTunes Cloud syncing, something that was supposed to make lenjoying my music easier. I routinely find that, though itunes and podcasts have been split, iTunes arbitrairily removes music files or in progress podcast in favor of 'new' podcasts. The settings are just not fine-grained enough to allow true user control and so we are instead subjected to 'Apple knows best' protocols. I understand and appreciate the level of exacting control Apple excercises over their ecosystem, however, more and more often I see them tightening control over things that should be user control while dropping the ball on aesthetic desisions made in producing their own software (see the hideous pull down tab for iTunes to access Podcast, TV shows, Music, etc.
    I would like to see features like those in Mail and the Podcasting apps implemented in iTunes afor the management of content on mobile devices, for instance it would be great to swipe to delete files that you know longer want on your device, at both the album and song level. Another issues is the new pushiness of iRadio and iTunes Store, the app now seems to default to the iRadio page (versus the last page Albums, songs, etc. that the user was navigating, or in the instance of the iTunes Store push, if I doon't have all the tracks of an album i own on my mobile device 'complete my album' takes you to iTunes store rather than showing the 'cloud' download icon next to missing tracks. These are the tactics I expect from Google, not Apple (pushing commerce over quality user experience).
    Fix these things Apple, please.

    Dear All,
    In STO Scenario, how to control the over delivery?
    I created a PO for the Intra Company stock transfer & Delivery created in the Background with the T Code VL10B. When I am doing picking using T code VL02N, the system is allowing to add  more than PO Quantity in batches and system displaying the warning message (Specified quantity is greater than the open quantity/Message no. VL287) & allowing to save the deliver document..
    Hence plz suggest how to restrict the same.
    Hope it is clear.
    Thanks & Regards

    I am also in the same boat.
    I searched the forum and got the link STO - How to control Over delivery ?
    I checked OSS notes 548914, 386340,215488 but to no avail.
    I suggested user exit USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE  in include MV50AFZ1 to my technical team for finding the resolution. So far it is still on hold.
    If you come across any other solution, you can update the forum so that it would be helpful for many others.

  • Webi Input control not displayed on Mobile

    Hi
    I have a simple repore created in Webi,
    I'm attaching it
    It has only 2 measures coming from eFashion
    and I want to create a graph to show only one of them according to user selection.
    As you will see, I've created a dummy variable "Revenue/Quantity" and an Input control over it.
    I've also created another variable with a simple if function based on the Input control.
    It works fine in Webi
    But in mobile I don't see the Input control.
    We are in BO 4.0 SP5 patch 5.1
    Please advice
    Shlomi

    Hi James,
    As far as I know there is no problem with input controls on 5.0.x
    Can you confirm if the input control is on page level BUT NOT on block level?
    Since phone displays single report part in a screen, if the input control is designed to be on some charts/tables in Webi, then you may not see the filter icon in all pages.
    But in tab, since more number of report parts appear in same screen filter icon may be seen.
    You can test it by navigating to other pages of the document in phone.
    Let me know if the problem is not resolved.
    -Regards,
    VVH
