Adjust easing options

Hi! I love the easing options, but is it possible to finte tune those? For example I use the bounce easing for a pin falling from top onto a map and then stuck at its destination. The bounce effect looks so real, but since the pin is not that high, it bounces into the ground too deep. Is there a way to adjust the bounce-curve??
Klaus

Hi there,
At this time, there isn't a functionality in Edge Animate to fine-tune your Easing options, however, you can add keyframes for your Y positioning in the same animation with the easing and then manually adjust the property value from there.
Just scrub to the point in your timeline in which the pin falls below the map, click the Add Keyframe button next to Y in the Properties panel, and adjust the value to have the pin land on the map.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you need further clarification!

Where is the "Adjust Variations" option in Photoshop CS6?

Hi all,
I often use the Image>Adjust Variations option in Photoshop but do not see the option in Photoshop CS6. I know we are still only in the BETA stage but I am still curious. I hope it is not going to be dropped. I like to use it for quick fixes on small portions of the image every now and again:)
Thank you in advance for your help,
Christine

I can't select the B&W adjustment layer option

When I click on the adjustment layer button in the layers palette, I can't select the B&W adjustment layer option nor the Vibrance, Exposure, or Channel Mixer options. I am using CS5 (just upgraded recently) in Windows. I am not sure why I can't select them (the text appears in light grey and isn't available for selection). Thank you!

Thank you Chris - it was in LAB mode and i changed it RGB and all is well. I hope i marked your answer correctly.

Reduced range of adjustment tool options on some images

Hi. I've noticed that some of my images (both raw - CR2 - and jpg) don't get the full range of options on the adjustment tools, while other images do. e.g. no temp settings, highlights, shadows, etc etc. Using Lightroom 5 and WIndows 7. I think it must have to do with some technical setting on the images but I wouldn't know where to start figuring out what those would be.
My limited range on the adjustment brush:
Thanks!

Many users will wish to leave their images as edited in previous versions of LR. However the highlights and shadows sliders are more effective than the old fill light and recovery sliders and there may be instances where you wish to re-edit older photos using PV 2012. There is a small icon (click image below) under the histogram in Develop for images processed using PV 2010 and clicking it gives the option to update. Adobe recommends updating images on an individual basis to begin with but you can also select all filmstrip items. So you can use the camera calibration tab or simply click the histogram icon.

Feedback: Adjusting Blending Options over layer in Photoshop?

Hi all, I've got a really simple problem that i cant seem to find anywhere to configure it out. I've used photoshop for real long time and as i used it more and more often for my painting, i cant help but feel that the "Double-Clicking" when mouse over a particular layer, which shortcuts into the "Blending Options" is seriously bothering me too much for my personal preference.
The thing is, i liked that blending options thing on layers and what it does but i never really does use it when i'm using my photoshop for painting. Even if i did i wanted to use it i can right click and click on the blending options myself. What i hate is the amount of time it takes and lags when a blending options window is being closed, when i didn't make any modifications at all!
As i go through my layers fast in photoshop, i run into these problem alot where my wacom pen accidentally double click on a layer where i just wanted to drag it or rename it. Sometimes it really make my heart jump when it just freezes there for 10+ seconds. My computer is rather new while its operating on windows vista i seriously don't think that is the problem of the lag.
It could be the big dimensions of my photoshop layers and the way of my working that makes it lag alot when the blending options window closes(even though i did nothing), but i just want to solve this problem by by adjusting the double click / blending options configuration fuctions, but seriously i cant seem to find it anywhere. I've also looked into keyboard shortcuts, menu shortcuts, preferences but its not there. I've also searched around the forum no one else seem to discuss this before.
So I hoped someone here actually can help me with this it'll really be doing me a big favor. Its seriously getting on my nerves... sometimes it freezes for 15 mins when i'm on my biggest ps file which is like 8000X8000 pixels.
If Not, I hope to give a feedback to the adobe photoshop community and hope that our great Photoshop will keep improving better, by adding a way to actually make it possible and customize the 'blending options' over a particular layer shortcut to another shortcut so that it won't cause a problem for a user like me.
I also hope to suggest that it'll be alot better if there is a a straightforward direct feedback system that can feedback the message straight to Adobe through the programme itself ( although this is beside my main point) because it actually takes quite a while for me to register and figure out navigate my way through this forum and finally find a way to give an effective feedback. I believe many users will not bother to actually go through all this just to provide a feedback and I believe this will prove to be effective feedback for Adobe.
If I had any issues that I had left out or I didn't know, please do kindly let me know, cause i just registered here. Thanks for reading.
Cheers,
Eonridr.

HA! I happened to stumbled upon the answer to my own question:
Use MAIN MENU > EDIT >
In the KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS and MENUS POP-UP, select
Twirl open the LAYER section
Scroll down and select
A text field will appear
Simply type the keyboard command you want to use!
NOTE: an ALERT will warn you if your shortcut is already in use

Adjust Color option not available in Preview?

We scanned in some documents recently and need to adjust their contrast. Unfortunately, the option for Tools>Adjust Color is grayed out/unavailable. Any idea why this would be the case? The documents were scanned in on a Canon MX850.
Thanks.

Mine are all jpgs, i.e., photos scanned with an HP 4-in-1 scanner or photos taken with a Kodak digital camera, downloaded into EasyShare and saved as jpgs.
I'd always used Preview, prior to the Leopard upgrade, rather than HP PhotoSmart or the Kodak program for much of my editing because the "exposure" and the "sharpen image" features were much better and could often salvage an iffy photo, especially the old circa WW II sepia ones.

Ignore Adjustment Layers option for the Eyedropper tool

The Clone Stamp tool has a button in its options that says "Turn on to ignore adjustment layers when cloning". It is hard to imagine as to why Adobe didn't do the same with the Eyedropper, it is equally important not only for creating artworks from scratch but photo retouching too.
When the Eyedropper is set to sample from All Layers, there should be also an option to ignore adjustment layers above the currently selected layer.
The lack of this feature in Photoshop makes art creation and photo retouching extremely difficult when adjustment layers are used.
To reproduce the problem:
Create several layers with some colors or images in them.
Add one or more adjustment layers on top that change the colors of all layers.
Select a layer to paint on.
Set the Eyedropper tool to sample from All Layers.
Pick the Brush tool, hold Alt to get to the Eyedropper and pick a color from any of the layers and paint.
The result is a different color because the Eyedropper picked the adjusted color and this makes painting and retouching in this natural way impossible.
The above steps is basically the most common workflow when a user paints or retouches a certain layer using the Brush tool while constantly picking colors form other areas of the image by holding Alt to get to the Eyedropper tool, similar to using the Clone Stamp Tool,

Even a »Current and Below«-setting for the Eyedropper Tool would be helpful, I guess.

Boris Title 3D Can't adjust effect options

Hi, I've been using Title 3D for titles in my project and it was working fine up until yesterday. Now when I try to adjust shadow size, opacity, etc it won't work. I highlight the text, and when I use the sliders nothing happens. Same with outline.
I've tried trashing the FCP prefs and restarting, and it still doesn't work.
Any suggestions?

Welcome to the family.
Including your version of FCP is helpful.
Try changing the length of the graphics clip or moving it so the render is lost. that may free up the controls.
I've just run a coupel of tests on Boris 3D, seems to work as expected for editing all settings and parameters. So, can't help you at the moment but stick around, may take a few days for someone with a clue to check in on the question.

Iphone configuration utility-- possible to restrict which EAS options are available?

Hi all-- I'd like to be able to use the iPhone Config Utility (am on 3.4 currently) to create a profile that restricts the user to accessing only some sections of an Exchange account, like being able to see/use the account's Contacts but not the Mail/Calendars/Reminders, etc. Anyone know if this is possible? I currently do not see any way to do this.
If not, any suggestions on how to enable EAS access to just the Contacts in an Exchange account? I can use CalDAV for Calendar info but CardDAV for access to Exchange Contacts is not supported... (reason for restricting this is I am trying to enable a user to have access to her boss' Calendar & Contacts but not Email...)
Many thx in advance for any insight,
Charlie

Ipcu .ipa installs were opened up for folks building internal business tools, hobbyists go want to put their code on their friends devices.... Etc...code that doesn't belong on the AppStore because a developer may not have wanted the code to be for public use. Of course when the kids found out you could do it they would do it too...which isn't good especially if paid apps are getting passed. Then they designed the app panick, which is what you saw when you tried to install .ipas without the proper execution authentication to stay resident on the springboard.
It's woould behoove you to take interest in Apple Configurator.
It brings the best of Xcode, ipcu And iTunes in one UI, basically you own little MDM tool. You can set it up to update firmware, sequentially name, install from backup, push .mobilcobfig (although you still need the local authority on the device to accept..standard security protocol and a good idea anyway, volume install apps after you have imported a key, deploy restrictions, but the best thing is using it with mountain lion server and pushing notifications, updates and policy or provisioning OTA just like the 'MDM companies' charge thousands of people millions of dollars every year.
Use this opportunity to deploy excellence to your customer. Give them a good user experience, address their issues, document the challenges they had and the solutions you provided them, and put your ios Deployment book somewhere people can read it, and when you get that job offer from some other company who wants organic MDM instead of getting ripped off by those other guys...your replacement will be able to read a little and pick up where you left off.

Need ability to adjust renaming options from mini import dialog...

I was setting up a couple of presets for importing tonight and I ran into an issue. There appears to be no way to change the custom text for renaming without opening the full import view. Seems like I should be able to change the custom text, exactly like the subfolder text can be changed.

Totally agreed. And once you do that, the total number of points could be listed, and number of points [selected] could be listed, possibly with a sub-window to account for points X,Y-to-ruler origin. These additions could be extremely helpful when several points occupy the same location.

Option in dialogue NOT to cut of ends of existing paths when adjusting paths

more often than not when I draw with the pencil tool to adjust a paths course, it will delete one of the ends, either the longer or shorter side, this is not what I want, I want to simply adjust the course of the path during its journey, without losing either of the ends, it takes tedious trial and error to get it right and not lose the path, often I just end up deleting the whole path and redrawing it from scratch, which is not why I like the path adjustment option with the pencil tool,
I like to sketch out my paths to lay them down, then refine them with the path adjustment pencil option working back and forth in this manner..
if I draw over one part of the path, continue its journey like a river in another direction and cross back over that path,I want that middle section between those 2 points overlapping the original path to be redrawn, but leave the ends intact as they were...
so If I choose edit selected paths, wherever I draw over with the pencil tool on the selected existing path (in yellow below), the adjusting path is green, the original cross over points are circled in orange,
Shown here even If I consequently draw over that path several times, whereever the adjusting path (green) last crosses over the underlying selected path (yellow) will be where the adjustment ends. Ideally you wouldnt have to worry about how close you "start" the adjusting path, aslong as it crosses over that path,
so end result here, while not accurately displaying adjustment path above, you still get the idea,
but this would be a lot simpler than having to get within "x" amount of pixels to the line, and totally avoid the lost ends of original path sydnrome.
but if thats what you want,then as is currently available, where the green path crosses over the original yellow path, this continues the yellow path from that direction in the direction the green path is being drawn, then where the green line last crosses over the yellow path, the option to continue its line versus completing the yellow lines original end journey. so effectively a tickbox option in dialogue like"continue adjustment path if last crossover beyond x pixels or points" on the HUD display I suggested, as result below,
the thing with this method is it avoids the annoying and frustrating event of losing either the long or short side of the existing path..and allows quicker easier path editing.without having to pinpoint the pencil tool on the existing path or get it extremely close, thats allright when your pen tooling, but I pencil tool more often in the beginning as I do animals, flowers, faces and figures which are more organic and sketchy. then refine with pen and warp tools after..

where you cross an existing path with adjustment path on only one point, the previous line will question which of its sides from that point you want to keep, the start of its line to the adjusting paths cross over point, or the cross over point to the end of that line being adjusted,
a radio circle option in the HUD display could allow "keep long" or "keep short" as in keep the longer side of the line, or the shorter side measured from the cross over point to the either end of the line..
i`ll post a video next week to illustrate what I`m trying to say here..

PhotoShop CC will not play Layer Adjustment Actions Correctly

My computer has PhotoShop CC installed on a brand new Dell Windows 7 computer. Previously I used CS4 and it worked great, but now I'm having issues with CC playing back any Action that has layer adjusments. I'll record an action consisting of an edited layer adjustment such as curves, levels, brightness/conrast, etc., and then when I play it back the layer adjustment applied is the default 0. For instance, here I clicked "Create New Action" and labeled it "Curves Layer TEST":
add a new curves layer adjustment and label it "Brighten":
Then I add a few points to the curve (overly brightened to demonstrate my issue):
then I hit the Stop Recording button. But when I look at the curve values in the Actions box of the very curve layer I just recorded, it says the Preset Kind is Default. Why doesn't it say Custom??? The Properties box read "Custom" as I was editing the curve!
So anyway, I open up my nexy photo and play the Brighten action I just created...
and nothing happens to the image. Oh, it now has a curves layer on top, but it's the Default straight line. What happened to the curve I edited and recorded!!??
What's the deal? This is the same process I used in CS4, CS2 and every other PhotoShop incarnation and it worked fine, until CC. Is this a bug? Or is there a new process to creating layer adjustment actions???

Adobe added the adjustment panel in CS4. Adobe also changed how the action recorded records adding adjustment layers in CS4. Before the Adjustment panel when you clicked on one of the add adjustment layer icons Photoshop would open the adjustment type options dialog window which you would set and commit. When you committed the settings the action recorder would record a single step that added the adjustment layer with the setting you set. After Adobe added the adjustment panel the action recorder records a step Make adjustment layer Adjustment type preset default as soon as you click on the adjustmet type icon. If you then make changes to the settings when you move onto the next Photoshop operation the action recorder records a second step Set current adjustment layer to type preset kind custom and settings. Adobe also introduced many problems with the adjustment panel. The two step recoding can be a problem because it possible to add steps between the two steps and the step set current adjustment layer will fail if the targeted layer was changed by the addition. The adjustment panel also has two options in its fly-out menu the change Photoshop operation. They can break new and old actions that add adjustment layers. For how adjustment layers will get added may not be the way they were added when the action was recorded. These options work more like global Photoshop Preferences actions have no control over. However the options do not alway work like set. So if you try real hard you can record actions that add adjustment layers that will alway work the way you designed your action to work. Adobe does not want to fix these problems. I tried to get Adobe to fix these bugs for years. I have now given up.
