Scale Factor for Photoshop and Firefox

Hi everyone,
I am attempting to adjust the scale factor on my macbook pro. Everything is good so far except several applications (firefox and cs5 photoshop) do not readjust well. I am wanting to set the independent scale factor of these applications back to there original settings.
To do this I need to know the location of bot firefox and photoshop .plist file. (ie: com.apple.photoshop) - this is not correct file name...
If I know this, I can type this command into terminal:
defaults write com.apple.photoshop AppleDisplayScaleFactor 1.00
Does anyone know the name or location of the files?
Thanks,
Calvin

I am attempting to adjust the scale factor on my macbook pro.
If you mean so images display the correct size on screen when you choose Print Size, you do that in Photoshop by opening the preferences.
Create any blank document at the resolution you most commonly use. Something small enough to fit the screen and be measured with a ruler. 3"x5" or somewhere around there.
Open Photoshop's preferences and click on Units and Rulers in the left column. You want to change the settings in the New Document Preset Resolutions section. Since I mostly do print work, I set Print Resolution to 300 pixels/inch. Then start changing the Screen Resolution field until you find the number that gives you the closest setting to actual size when you choose View > Print Size. I ended up using 94 on a monitor with a 1920x1200 resolution.
Photoshop is also smart enough to use those values to interpolate other file resolutions. If I make a copy of a 4"x6" image and scale it down to 200 pixels/inch, it still displays the correct size when choosing Print Size.

  • In Need of a developer for Photoshop and Illustrator plugins

    I am in need of a developer interested in developing plugins for Photoshop and Illustrator for a specific industry of Textiles and Fashion. Please contact me if you are a developer with experience in plugin development. [email protected]

    Hmmm... I'm using JSF but it's my first project so I don't really know it's powers.
    I instantiated all classes that will eventually populate the combo box (through reflection) and now I'm trying to find one which of the objects did the user select.
    Would it be a problem for you to give me at least a rough scatch of what I should do?
    I tried it like this:
    in my managed bean:
    public HtmlSelectOneMenu getProductsMenu() {
            //instantiate and populate the list of products (prodlist)
            for (Product p : prodlist){
                optionlist.add(new SelectItem(p, p.getName()));
            final UISelectItems items = new UISelectItems();
            items.setValue(optionlist);
            productsMenu.getChildren().add(items);
            return productsMenu;
        }and in my JSP:
    <h:selectOneMenu binding="#{managedBean.productsMenu}" />but then, in the bean, when I try:
    ((Product)productsMenu.getValue())I get a Class cast exception. it says it can't can't cast String to Product...
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thank you!

  • Separate CSS for IE and Firefox

    Hi all,
    older versions of Robohelp generated to separate CSS files in the Wephelp for IE and Firefox. Evidently this feature was dropped somewhen. However I need it now to resolve some specific Firefox problems in a project.
    I thought I could add the corrsponding script in the master page that checks for the browser and selects the CSS, but thought I should ask the forum first.. are any solutions for this already known?
    Robert

    If you are sure there is no way around OK but sometimes someone knows a solution. I'm not saying I do, just that sometimes someone will pop their head over the parapet with the answer.
    It used to be the case that bullets were a pain for me until I found out that Firefox's own CSS had an indent that you could negate without affecting IE. Result, almost the same appearance in both browsers.
    I haven't tried it but RoboHelp 10 allows you to write media queries and you can define the browswer. In theory you can have a default style for IE and other browsers but specify a rule that if the browser is Mozilla, the CSS is to be modified.
    That's the cheery theory and I don't know the ins and outs of how well it would work in reality. Do let us know if you decide to take the plunge.

  • Can I move cache to external hard drive to save disk space for photoshop and bridge?

    Can I move cache to external hard drive to save disk space for photoshop and bridge?

    So could I take everything off my external hard drive, save it to my Mac, then re-format it for my Mac and move everything back to the external hard drive?
    Yes. Keep in mind that you need to back up all data, including the data on an external drive. So if you're going to use the external drive to store original data, as opposed to backups, then you really need another one to back up the first one. You also need to back up the data on your internal drive, of course. This isn't optional. You must do it, or you'll lose everything sooner or later. All disk drives fail eventually, often with no warning.
    If I do that how do I format the external hard drive for my Mac?
    Launch the Disk Utility application and search the built-in help for "erase."
    Would it be easier to just buy a external hard drive that is for a Mac?
    All external hard drives work with Macs. Some might come pre-formatted for use with Macs, but it only takes a few minutes to do that yourself.

  • I can't buy a license for Photoshop and Lightroom!

    I live in Sweden and I were browsing the swedish Adobe page a few days ago when I saw that they had a great offer for Photoshop and Lightroom. I tried to sign up and buy it, but when I clicked "Confirm purchase" the page loaded for about ten seconds and then froze completely. I didn't know it had frozen since it was my first try and it said it could take a few minutes. After about 15 minutes though I started to sense that something was up. My computer got really hot and the fans were going at it at the highest speed. I eventually had to close the page to prevent my computer from overheating, but every time I've tried do buy the license since it has done the same thing.
    Does anyone know what to do?
    I appreciate the help, kind regards Anna Cajsa Holmström.

    I cannot upload the latest update for photoshop and I am not sure as to why or how to resolve this.

    Are you connecting via wifi? if so try an eithernet cable as I have found on windows 8 running the adobe manager will disconnect the broadband modem from the internet and requires rebooting the modem. But a direct cable to the modem works just fine.

  • Advice needed on monitor for Photoshop and Lightroom use

    Hi. I am aserious amature photographer wishing to move to the next level and sell some of my work.
    I just had a custom pc built to work with the new copies of Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3 I bought (lots or RAM and HD space, ssd, etc....)
    The last piece of my system is to purchase a monitor. I want to be somewhere in the better then Best Buy but less than NEC/Eizo range in price, or between $500 - $900. I have worked with cameras since the early 80's and moved to digital several years ago but the only post processing I have done is with Photoshop Elements.  I would be doing mostly prints to sell but also need to have a web site to do so. Will also use the pc for daily net surfing... but do not game or watch a lot of video on the pc.
    Being really new to this whole process I have a few questions.
    The first thing I need to decide is whether I need to look for a wide gamut display or not.
    I realize the whole chain must be 10 bit (Adobe -OS - graphics driver - graphics card - display port.
    I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3, Win7 64 bit, Zotac ZT 50701 10M video card (which uses GeForce GTX 560  fermi and an nvidia chipset. It does have displayport). I am having a hard time determining whether my video card actually supports wide gamut (10bit).
    Standard vs Wide Gamut? Is wide gamut important enough to deal with the issues it brings (calibration, viewing things other than PS and LR or color managed, which appear to be rare?) Is sRGB good enough for most prints (don't do fine art, mostly nature and portraits but starting to do some HRD things). If wide gamut is the way to go I have no problem with that and have the time to learn about calibration, color management, etc... But I also want to make sure the juice is worth the squeeze.
    24" vs 27"? Is there any advantage to one or the other when editing photos?
    IPS vs PLS? I realize they are similar but are there differences worth noting?
    Glossy vs Matte Anti-Glare? seems to be a lot of comments regarding the anti-glare coating, mostly poor. Yet I can see issues using a glossy screen in my study with a window to my back.
    One manufacturer vs another? I realize Eizo, NEC and LaCie are at the top of the heap. But with my budget, after upgrading my pc and camera equipment, I can't make that work now. So I need to choose from the next group down (Dell, HP, Samsung, Asus...)
    One or two monitors? It looks like many (mid-grade) wide gamut monitors do a lousy job of displaying anything but color managed sites. Is that necessarily true of all the mid-grades? Or can some be used for graphics but as well for routine net surfing, MS Office, etc...? Or am I better off getting two monitors, one for graphics and one for the rest? That would pretty much limit me to 24" or less given my budget (used to using a Dell 21" TN monitor that oddly crapped out just as my new pc was done).
    The more I read reviews the more confusing it gets. There seems to be a difference of opinion even among pros on whether to go wide gamut or stick with an easier sRGB. Realizing a standard gamut monitor would be cheaper, I do want to make the right decision up front, given my budget.
    The one thing I have found astounding is that there is nowhere to actually see many of the monitors I am considering. We live in Nashville TN but my wife is from Atlanta Ga so we drove there a few weeks ago to visit family and for me to visit monitor shops. Even the largest ones there (Fry's and Microcenter) had minimal IPS monitors, a few Dells and HP's. The knowledge of their sales folks was so poor I finally gave up. Felt bad about this until I posted this on another board and got a reply from a guy in LA (second largest city in the US) that he wanted to see a particular monitor and there was no place even there to do so.
    Anyhow, here is what I have considered:
    24" Wide Gamut: Dell U2410 and Asus PA246Q. Dells appear to be good IF you get a good one. The Asus appears to be a clone of the Dell that gets a lot of good press.
    27" Wide Gamut: Dell U2711 that also gets a ton of good reviews
    24: Standard Gamut: Dell U2412 and HP ZR2440.
    27" Standard Gamut: Samsung S27A850D and Apple Cinema- The Samsung uses PLS technology versus IPS while the Apple is a glossy screen that will work with a pc.
    Sorry for the long post. Any comments are greatly appreciated.

    Not trying to talk you out of setting up a 10 bit pipeline, but it's still not very mature, and it really isn't a necessity to get a good editing experience.
    Personally I find advantage in using two 4:3 ratio monitors for Photoshop work.  All my panels are on the right monitor, while pretty much the entire left one shows the Photoshop main window and the working canvas space.  My desktop is 3200 x 1200 pixels overall, and I find having the panels remain visible all the time is important.
    Regarding whether a wide gamut is important...  Will you be printing to devices that deliver a wide gamut?  What other things will you be doing with your system?
    It's not a no-brainer whether a wider gamut monitor is always "better" for everything, since it can accentuate the differences between the output from color-managed and non-color-managed applications, and it's definitely true that not everything is color-managed.  With a monitor that's close to sRGB, for example, you might find Internet Explorer output acceptable, while using a wide gamut monitor will result in garishly oversaturated IE displays.  On the other hand, FireFox (with a settings tweak) seems to get color management right, so there is an alternative.
    I think, as John has implied above, you should work to get your head completely around how color-management works, soup to nuts.  If you don't, there will always be things that are a mystery or which surprise you at the wrong times.  Being able to order a print and have it come back with the expected color can be very important, as you might imagine.

  • How do I download Photoshop for windows xp and vista.... I currently pay per month for photoshop and a computer running vista i ned to install photoshop on two aditional machines. How can I download, photoshop says I have an os that is no longer supported

    I have a computer running windows vista that I pay per month for photoshop, I want to use photoshop on two other computers I have, not that it matters but they are both identical hardware wise, and software one runs xp and the other runs vista, I can upgrade but I am not intrested in other os. When I attempt to download I am told that my os is no longer supported. Now i know that I could find an offline version and should be able to get it installed but im not sure of a safe site that provides the iso or install exe. I want to use the other two computers because they have touch interface early computer/tablet highbird. thanks in advance.

    Michaelt65951582 I am sorry but you will need to run at least the minimum operating system to use Photoshop.  You can find the system requirements at System requirements | Photoshop.  I would recommend upgrading to Windows 7 or later.  You may find that your computer can support the more recent operating system depending upon the hardware installed.
