Beginner's question re:SAM's TY CS3 in 24 hours...

Presently I am teaching myself to use Photoshop CS3 on a Macbook Pro. In my tutorial the picture of the brushes palette includes Diameter, Flip X/Y, Angle, Roundness, Hardness, and Spacing.
The problem is that my brushes palette only includes master diameter.
I'm quite frustrated at this point, so I appreciate any explanation a more experienced user could offer.
Thanks.

Oh no no no no!
I did not at all mean to belittle "anon b52"!
Sorry if it came across as a personal slight. Just wanted to point out the absurdity of "teaching yourself" Adobe Photoshop CS3 in 24hrs.
Tick, tick, tick... Kiefer? Can we diffuse these Adjustment Layer Masks in time?
>better response would be to recommend a better book...
I have no idea the quality of the book anon mentions! If he asks for recommendations for good book on PS, I will, as many times in the past, recommend many books I've had the pleasure of reading.
My ONLY criticism here was the absurd title! That us why I quoted the title in full. Holy crow!
>Rarely does a newby return after one of you gets hold of him/her. If you've not noticed that, you too are so wrapped up in your self worth that you are completely blind to reality.
Please Barry, point out ONE of my posts where that is the case. Please, I like to review it.
I really try to be helpful in this forum.

Beginner font questions

These are some beginner font questions if someone has the time/patience.
I've never paid much attention to fonts over the years, never installed
any other than those that might have come with applications. Early on,
15 years ago or so, I settled on Palatino and I've stayed with it for
most docs (Word 5.1a and now Word vX) and often for other apps (Safari,
Now).
I just upgraded to Tiger (10.4.4) and I use Word vX.
Questions:
1. I gather from looking at Font Book that when I'm using Palatino in
Tiger that OS X is getting it from my OS 9 System folder for Classic.
It does not look like Palatino is in any other locations including MS
Office vX. Does that make sense?
2. I always thought that Palatino was a very basic, always available
font. Not so?
3. If I decide to stop using Classic, and I'm close to that time, can I
transfer those fonts to OS X? If so, to which location is best.
4. And are the same fonts used for printing and screen? In other words
back in pre OS X days I thought some fonts came in screen versions and
print versions but my memory is hazy on that. Not only that.
Thank you for any education or links for info.

That's correct.

It seems to be out of favor.

location is best.
Yes, you can just put it in Users/username/Library/Fonts (or Library/Fonts for all users).

I miss not having the same fonts as cs3 ie Bradshaw, Lucinda and papyrus. How can I access these.

I miss not having the same fonts as cs3 ie Bradshaw Handwriting, Lucinda and Papyrus. How can I access these on cs5? I have not found the fonts for this program to my liking.

I can't find any reference to a handwriting font named Bradshaw anywhere. Are you sure you have the name right? ITC Bradley Hand Regular, along with Papyrus and the Lucida (no "n") family are all included with recent versions of Windows, though, and should be in your font list in CS5 if you are, in fact, running Windows.
Is this the same machine that has CS3 installed? Did you remove CS3? Do the fonts show up in any other programs? Indesign can see fonts that are installed in the system fonts, the Common Files > Adobe > Fonts folder, and the private fonts folder for InDesign in the application folder. If the fonts show in CS3, but not elsewhere, they are probably in the CS3 InDesign Fonts folder.

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
    1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
          Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
          bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
          'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
          ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
          phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
     2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
     3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

Questions about smart objects in CS3-CS5.

Hi.
Two questions.
When I replace content of smart object in CS2 the content takes the size of previous state of smart object in pixels.
It was very useful when need to replace some background to another and it autoresized to the new size and proportion.
For example, when I replace content of smart object with external size 100x90px and 100x90% proportion (can see with Ctrl-T) with file with 200x300px size, i have new smart object with old size 100x90px and new proportion 50x30%.
When I try to do the same in CS3-CS5 I get smart object with size 160x216px and proportion 100x90%.
Haw can I return the old behaviour?
Second.
In CS2 I use files with a lot of smart objects each of them may consists with some others smart objects and so on.
But i can`t use this scheme in CS3-CS5 because of very high consumption of scratch memory.
Very-very simple example. In CS2 create file 4000x3000px, create new layer and draw there black square 300x300px.
Convert the "square" layer to smart object. Then duplicate it with Ctlt-J 30 times. Save the file and reopen.
The scratch size is about 280 MB and practically not changing when moving layers with movetool.
Open this file in CS5. The scratch size is about 2.5 GB and quickly increase to 5 GB and above when i try to move layers. And this is a very simple file.
If i will try to open several such files in CS5 the amount of useing memory will be fantastic.
Why there is such behaviour whis memory in cs3-cs5 photoshops?
PS. sorry for my english. hope you understand me.

Hi,
What version of Ps and AI are you using?
1. In Ps, there's no controls for the AI layer visibilty, but the visibility attributes should be respected.
2. The placed file is an embedded copy, not a link to an external file. However, there is a script that you might find useful for your purposes. I'm not sure if the Win support improved with CS5.

Cannot insert second lib item on same page (DW CS3)

Hi, I am asked to build a website with 53 pages. My client, most likely, will come up with changes/desired extra pages in future, so I thought library items would be appropriate for navigation (correct? I am new to lib).
After inserting one library item (vertical menu with roll-over images) in a page, I also want to use this type of nav horizontally at the top of the pages.
However, DW (cs3) does not allow me to do so. This is the message: "Making this change would require changing code that is locked by a template or a translator. The change will be discarded." The parent page is not a template, just an ordinary new html page. I inserted the vertical nav lib into a div.
I understood it should be possible to insert more than one lib item in a page, what can be the problem here?
Thank you very much for any tips, suggestions and help.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
You know what? I stopped working with the lib items, because I found out that working with SSI is much easier!
Same here.
I haven't used DW's Templates or Library Items for several years. I used to spend too much time having to find my way around the editables and non-editables. They just got in my way. SSIs are much easier to create and far, far easier to maintain.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
(Server must be php complient).
Not necessarily.
SSIs can be used on plain HTML pages, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET and ColdFusion pages.
The principle is the same, but the Include code in the parent page is different.
ASP and .NET includes use the same syntax as plain SSI:

ColdFusion
<cfinclude template="/includes/filename.htm">
PHP
<?php require_once('/includes/filename.htm'); ?>

Beginner's question: Using Time Machine with a WD External Drive

Hello folks,
Could someone help me with some basic questions?
I have a MacBook with Mac OSX 10.5.5. It has Time Machine but I've never used it before. I've just obtained a Western Digital External Hard Drive which is Mac compatible but, I'm told, may not be formatted for Mac.
1. If that's the case, how do I format it for Mac so that I can use it with my MacBook? Or can I just plug-and-play?
2. Once ready to use, I'd like to use the external drive for two purposes: (a) to create back-up images of my entire computer using Time Machine, and (b) as a second drive where I can just drag-and-drop selected files when needed (e.g. so that I can put photos in a photo folder on my external instead of on my MacBook hard drive). Will my MacBook let me do this, or will using Time Machine effectively reserve the entire external hard drive for Time Machine and not allow my to drag-and-drop files?
Thanks! And Happy New Year!

Question 1:
1. Launch Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utility folder.
2. Click the "erase" tab
3. Select your entire WD disk on the sidebar (the uppermost icon).
4. Format: "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)"
5. Name the Disk
6. Click on "erase"
Question 2:
What is the size of your drive? If it is large enough you can partition it but Time Machine backup will "grow". So if it's important to you to save all backups you'll want to give it the whole disk. If not, you can partition the disk at the same time you format it.
Follow the steps here. It will accomplish both Q1 & Q2.

Question about CS5 Upgrade from CS3

Hi everyone,
I have Adobe CS3 and want to upgrade to CS5. I noticed Staples are selling the CS5 upgrade version for a decent price.
But it doesn't state if it's for CS4 or CS3/CS2. I contacted them, but they said they are both the same.... but I don't know if I can believe them.
Is the upgrade version for CS4 and CS3/CS2 the same thing in retail outlets? (i.e. you can enter in a CS4, CS3, and CS2 serial number for the same disc or is there separate products for each previous version - i.e. CS4 upgrade is different than a CS3 upgrade?)
I noticed when you buy it from the Adobe Store or even other sites like Newegg, they are marked as 'CS4 Upgrade' and 'CS3/CS2 Upgrade'... but on Staples its only 'Upgrade' and they told me it 'probably works for CS3 as well'.
Link to product on Staples site: http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=&webid=885931&affixedcode=WWhttp://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?webid=885938&CatIds=&AffixedCode=WW
Your help is greatly appeciated!
Thanks!
J

The upgrades are different in that they require different serial numbers for the upgrade. I don't believe you can use the CS 4 upgrade if you only have CS3. Call Customer Service to get an official response.

Question about upgrading my TLP CS3 license to a commerical license.

Hi there,
I bought my Production Premium CS3 TLP license through an Adobe reseller 18 months ago. I opted for TLP on the reseller's recommendation because at the time i wasn't sure whether i would be switching from a PC platform to Mac platform.
Now that I've switched to Mac, i no longer need the cross-platform licensing advantage. Can I purchase a commerial license upgrade for Productiom Premium CS4 on the Adobe Store? Or am i forever locked into to buying TLP license upgrades?
Thanks in advance,
Andre

Hi Andre, I wonder if you ever managed to solve this?
I am in the same predicament but was told by adobe under no circumstances could I return to retail licensed products. If you have manged to do this it'd be great to know.

Submitting a PDF form via HTTP Post: Beginner's Questions

Hi,
I am completely new to PDF forms, so I have been finding the documentation and options overwhelming.
I am hoping to get pointed to the documentation/tutorials/examples I really need.
I would like to build a "proof of concept" for my boss. I would like to include a screen in our Java ( JSP & Spring ) webapp where either a PDF form is embedded or is accessed via a link.
I have
Adobe Acrobat Distiller X standard license
Adobe Acrobat X Standard
Microsoft Office 2010
I made a small, 3 field Microsoft Word form. I then converted it via DIstiller into a PDF form.
I then found this document about how to submit a PDF form to a server side component:
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/form-submit-e-mail-demystified
My big problem with this document it doesn't have an example nor an example showing what is going on in a full HTML page. As I result I have some questions:
Can I see such an example somewhere?
Does the call to the javascript function doc.SubmitForm(urlToMyServerSideComponent) go in a script tag on the HTML page like other javascripts?
Can I execute that submit function from an HTML button or do I need to put a "submit" button on the PDF form?
Do I need Adobe LiveCycle in order to create a PDF form with a "submit" button? Free versions?
Can I send via HTTP POST ?
Do I need Adobe LiveCycle to crate a PDF form with a digital signature?
Is there a document/tutorial that fits where I am starting off from? ( Please no books, I am tyring to show my boss that this is something that can be done, in a reasonable amount of time, not time to get and go through a book ).
Thanks in advance for any tips that get me pointed in the right direction
Steve

To answer some of your specific questions:
2, 3. The submit form button needs to be on the PDF. You can either configure a Submit Form action or use the submitForm JavaScript method.
4, 6: No to both questions. You can create the form in Acrobat. Such forms are knows as Acroforms, as opposed to XFA forms that are created with LiveCycle Designer. Acroforms have wider support.
5: Yes, that's the method that's used when submitting to a web server. You have your choice of formats. The "HTML Form" option causes the form data to be submitted in the same format as an HTML form, so the same type of server-side code can be used to process the data. As Dave's tutorial shows, the server should return an FDF as the response, however, as opposed to HTML content.
It's a mistake to try to embed the PDF in a web page. So much depends on the user's browser, PDF viewer, and how both are configured. PDF forms can be submitted directly from Adobe Reader/Acrobat, so it's not necessary for them to be viewed in a browser. Note that Adobe Reader for iOS/Android don't yet support submitting to a web server (apart from FormsCentral), but that's is supposedly being worked on.
Since you mentioned digital signatures, be aware that for Reader users to be able to sign, the document has to be Reader-enabled, either with Acrobat Pro or LiveCycle Reader Extensions (which is not the same as LiveCycle Designer). Digital signatures in PDF forms are not yet supported on mobile devices. Also, you will want to submit the entire PDF, as opposed to just the form data, when submitting a digitally signed form.

The same bug in CS3 AND CS5?

In InDesign CS3 I must have a rotation and shearing angle of 5° for a text box with a text of different sizes, mainly 7.5 pt. The first line is left-aligned with 1.1 mm indent, the second line is right-aligned (tab).
When I copy this textbox onto another side of the same document or to another document it results in text overflow. Until now the only way for me is to correct both angles to 0°, then copy to the other document and at last come back to 5°. Unfortunately sometimes it's necessary to copy 5 or perhaps 50 of these to another document.
Really crazy is that when I reduce the font size nothing happens (text overflow), but when I change to 8 pt there is no overflow.
I hoped that this would be the past with CS5, but it isn't. It's all the same. It looks like this:
Is there anyone with some ideas?
Uwe

Is this a custom made font or a stock font? In any case the problem should be broght to the attention of the foundry.
As far as what to so, if it's font-specific, there may not be a workaround. Rather than the right indent tab, perhaps using a hard return and a right-aligned paragraph style would work? You could do that in two steps, I think, using Find/change and GREP. First look for the tab and replace with with a paragraph break and any symbol you wouln't normally have at the start of a paragraph. Next look for ^<insert the symbol here>(.+) and repalce with $1 and set the change options to apply the new right-aligned style.

Beginner's Questions

As a really new beginner for BEx, I would like to ask you guys some basic questions.
1) I have a problem with designing a query to serve our requirement.
Fiscal Year       Accounting Num.        Amount          AVG(Amount)
2006                10001                         100                250
2006                10002                         200                250
2006                10003                         300                250
2006                10004                         400                250
                       Total(AVG)                  250
2006                10005                         300                350
2006                10006                         400                350
                       Total(AVG)                  350
What I want is the forth column, which is equal to the average value of amount in the third column. For example, in group 1 (Accounting Number 10001 - 10004), the average of 100 - 400 is 250. In the forth column, I want to get 250.How can I do this?
2) How can I load a hierarchy from a text file in BI 7.0. I just see the option to maintain the hierarchy in BI, but I can't find the way to load the hierarchy from a text file.

Hi,
1.Create a formula or CKF which is equal to Amount. name it AVG(Amount).
right click AVG(Amount) in the query definition.select properties.select calculate single value as 'Average of all values<>0'.
i thnk this shld work!
Regards
Dhanya.
