Bring Illustrator basic features up to speed with Photoshop

1. Color picker like Photoshop
2. Font selection like Photoshop (ability to arrow-key select through fonts) plus WYSIWYG previews live on your selection and font previews in the menu
3. Switch blend modes on selected object with Shift + or - like in Photoshop
4. Layer effects & controls like Photoshop (especially drop shadow controls are frustrating currently)

GPU basic features stop working after updating from version 13.0 to Photoshop version 13.1

My Basic GPU features were working flawless with Photoshop version 13.0 After I update to version 13.1 for CC members all my GPU features stop working. Is there a form to set my Photosop version 13.1 in order to use my GPU features or there is a huge difference between versions that doesn't allow me to use the GPU features? Note: I Already update my graphics card driver

I'm working with Illustrator CS5 and am having trouble with basic graphics textures.

I'm working with Illustrator CS5 and am having trouble with basic graphics textures. The illustrator drawings look fine with the pattern fills and when I bring the drawing into quark 9.1 they are still fine. When I print the quark file to lo res pdf drawing is still fine, but when I print to hi res pdf (press quality for print) the patterns disappear. I cannot figure out what the problem is.
just a note. Other textures and artistic fills work fine. It seems to be just the basic ones. I'm wondering if for some reason they may not be saved completely in my libraries?

Its just a drawing in black and white with some basic graphic texture to show “dirt” The pattern consists of a bunch of small lines. I save the file as an eps. And bring it into quark. When I print from quark I say print to pdf as press quality. I don’t think the problem has to do with acrobat because I’ve never encountered these problems before CS5. These drawings have been around for years and all of a sudden they don’t work.
Does this help?

Why did you take away my REFRESH button in FF 29? How can anyone with a clue decide it is a good idea to remove a BASIC feature like a REFRESH BUTTON?

This is absolutely ridiculous. How can anyone think it is a GOOD IDEA to REMOVE basic features such as a REFRESH BUTTON from something called a WEB BROWSER?!
No, I do not want to have to go all the way over to no-man's land on the right hand side of the address bar to click a tiny little refresh button over there! I want to put it where it ALWAYS has been on ALL my browsers. ON THE FREAKING LEFT next to the back button.
The person who came up with idea should be fired.
The person who approved this idea should be fired.
The person who let the final build go out the door without including a simple and easy way to get the refresh button back as part of a "customize" feature should also be fired.
None of these people have clue about what people want in a CUSTOMIZABLE web browser.
No, I do not want to revert to some past "classic theme". That is not a solution That is ridiculous.
No, I do not want the add-on bar restored. That is not a solution. Do not tell me that it is a solution.
What I want, is a button, in the customize box, that is a refresh button, that I can put where I want it, like it should have been from the start!
Fix it!

That is not a solution.
I want it fixed (like thousands of other people).
I don't want to hack it up.. or use add-ons. I just want my damned refresh button back and I want it put it on the frickin left.
I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more.
Quit screwing around and fix this!

Bring Back Line Screen & angle settings - Please - with sugar on top.

Tech support told me that the Engineers read and address these forums and I should post here for a response. I just made the jump from CS2 to CS5 where I found Photoshop no longer offers settings for line screen and screen angles for spot color printing. This is a critical feature for me and most others in my industry. Photoshop is the go to program for color separations for garment manufacturers and this is a crippling omission for us. Are there any plans to patch CS5 or to bring this critical feature back in future versions? I have been told by customer & tech support that my only option, while already owning CS2 & CS5, is that I will have to buy CS4 from a third party and go backward. While this may work temporarily, it imposes additional cost, and does not address the long term issue of the removal of these controls. Garment manufacturing is a relatively small, but constant industry among your customer base and Photoshop & Illustrator are our right and left hands.(Oddly enough - these controls are still available in Illustrator). There must be tens of thousands in the US alone. Can we expect this to be addressed?

There are many discussions about this on this and many other forums.
heres a few on this forum

As you can see from the discussion many many people are not happy about this function being removed.The whole of the apparel screenprint business.
Despite all this adobe has done nothing.
The problem with the above work around, ie use illustrator out put dcs files. Is that now for AI CS5 Adobe has removed the print to PDF function in the print dialogue box of AI...Meaning unless you know the correct printer (PPD) that is being used to output with then you will not be able to change screen angles and dot shape.....?? Or am I missing something ?
I send complex multi channel separations around the globe to hundreds of different printers for them to output.I do not know what machine they will output separations with but need to tell them what angles to use.This was simple before..But not now thanks to adobe.
Does anyone know of a work around for this ? Is there a generic Print PPD you can use so you can change angle dot shape in AI...
And NO I dont want to have to send a email or other documents with with my files stating LPI angles and dot shape.
Why was the PDF PPD function also removed from CS5 ?

Spent thousands of dollars and can't even use basic features

MacBook Pro - $2000
iPhone - $800
Apple TV - $100
What the **** is going on with Apple?
I can't sync my iPhone and MacBook Pro. Sometimes is discovers both devices but then fails to sync. Other times neither recognises each other even when they're both in the list. As part of Mavericks, I'm supposed to be able to share Maps with other devices, but it won't recognise my iPhone. Why the **** did I spend nearly three dollars on Apple products when I now have to go back to my PC for basic features. I've spent hours on the phone with Apple about problems, and while the service might be immediate and very couteous, most the time they don't understand what I'm talking about or they haven't got a solution. With thousands of features on the iPhone and Macbook Pro, I only wanna use about 2 dozen.
Here's some of the things I don't even bother with now -
iTunes - Can't delete recent plays, can't stop it playing from that same list the moment you plug it into a plug and play, so huge and cumbersome with too many features, but just try playing music only. I don't want album covers or info downloaded from the Net. I don't want all the songs segregated into albums and the like. I play songs and then try to find them in Recently Played and they're not even there, but songs I've play over a year ago and which I don't want arer still stubbornly there and can't be deleted. Media Player is the same. I'ma prefoessinal musician and sound engineer and I've never known anyone to have used more than 10% of the features in iTunes. Who the **** are the Apple tech heads developing products for? Scientific Audiologists? Pathetic program, don't even use nowadays, but it still has the ability of popping it's ugly head up from time to time.
Audio - I run Logic Pro X and EVERYTIME I connect a new audio interface, I have to go to Preferences>Sound and change the Input and Output. EVERYTIME!!!!!!!!!! Sometimes when recording, I have to the correct the sound preferences 40 times a day, I've counted them on a number of occasions. Apple is meant to be THE audio expets and yet I'm back using Cubase on my PC or even sometimes having to go back to my old iMac and Logic Pro 9!! Along problems I'm experiencing with Logic Pro x, Apple now wants me to return my MacBook pro to them possibly for up to six weeks. This is after I've transferred my whole business on to the MacBook Pro and literally can't do without it.
Contacts - they don't sync with iCloud, other devices, Skydrive or any other synced app, although, sometimes they do.
The Dock - some of the Apps in the Dock when already opened won't open with a click or double click. I have to right click on the icon, Show All Windows and only then can I open the App. On my PC, I open all programs in "their dock" with one click.
Let me explain what will happen now. Nothing. I can't afford to give my MacBook Pro to Apple to fix or even call them up again about these probs cause it takes HOURS and HOURS and HOURS and HOURS. Last time I rang them, it cost me about $300 in lost productivity.
I think that when Steve Jobs passed away, Apple died along with him.
I'm not an Appy Chappy ... pathetic

Do you have a question?

About the iPhone and it's "lack of basic features"

There are SO MANY rants going on in this discussing board about the iPhone lacking "basic features" of a cellphone. Here is my response to all of them at once. (I know this has nothing to do with user-to-user technical support, but the topic is discussed on here enough to warrant this post.)
Sure, I would like to be able to send texts messages to multiple contacts, I would love to be able to add my own ringtones, copy and paste, and picture message. Here's the deal, Apple didn't set out to create a product with those features, they didn't set out to create a product that is like all the others or that has all the best features that every other phone has. They started over. They didn't compare it to any other phone. They have said over and over that the iPhone is a completely new product from the ground up. Sure it includes some features that can be found in phones that came before it, but it's all done in a new way. It's not some super phone that combines the best of every smartphone out there. They were very open about this and listed EVERYTHING the phone was going to be capable of. No, they didn't tell you the things that it wouldn't do, that's not the angle they were taking when designing and marketing this product, no one does that. The iPhone does everything they said it would do and does it better than any other phone that has the same features. So how can anyone come on here a gripe about it lacking basic features? The features I listed above are features that someone else reading this may never need or want. Basic features to you are not going to be basic features to me. Basic features 3 years ago are not basic features today nor will they be in 3 years. There are no basic features when it comes to the iPhone, other then perhaps the phone part. When you set out to create a product from the ground up, you don't start with a list of features that need to be included. You start with a blank slate and build on that, from your own ideas, your own technology, not based on what anyone else is doing or what has been done in the past. This is what Apple has done, and they have been very clear about it from day one. So please, if you feel that the iPhone lacks the "basic features" on a cell phone, take it back so that someone else can have that phone and enjoy its "basic features," that are like no other phone before it.

Your posting should have went to the Apple.com feedback section instead of posting it here in the user to user forum, this goes back to doing research on what the iphone can and cannot do before making the purchase you have to remember this is just the first generation iphone just like there was a first generation ipod most likely they'll be enhancements coming up for the iphone i myself am happy with my iphone, how many cell phones out there have visual voicemail?

Illustrator CS3/CS2 text engine comaptibility with CS

Is the text engine in Illustrator CS2 and CS3 backward compatible with Illustrator CS? We are considering upgrading to a newer version but need to understand the impact on the original text - much of which is in foreign languages.

The basic text engine changed at AI 11 (CS) and, to the best of my knowledge, has remained the same since.
If you can't get a clear answer from Adobe on this, post a small test file created in AI 11. (Use a font we're likely to have, e.g, Arial Unicode.) Those of us here with 12 and 13 will then open it and report the results.

Measuring speed with incremental single counter

Hi,
I need to measure the rotational speed and acceleration of a wheel that has 3 hall sensors on it. I will use only 1 of them en it gives 24 pulses 0-5V for a 360° rotation. How can I measure the speed with only a pulse train. I dont have the Quadric encoder...
Now I'd like to measure the rotational speed using a counter of some sort, but the software I tried writing for it isnt working.
Thank you for your help

Hey Nitch,
Concerning the measurements errors:
As you get error when speeding up, it looks like the pulses coming from the hall sensors are to short to get measured by the counter.
Following the USB-6008 specifications, the pulse needs to have a minimum lenght of 100ns (both in high and low state).
As a counter is using edges to count the pulses (for USB-6008 only the falling edge) the edges need to comply with the TTL specifications which means that the rise and fall time of the pulse needs to be within the 50ns range.
So please have a look at the pulse lenght at higher speeds (are they at least 100ns?) and make sure the pulse comply with the TTL specifications.
If not you will have to add some additional electronics to reshape the pulses.
Looking at your program.
It's not nescesarry to have two loops. It's very well possible to have two DAQ tasks within the same look.
Have a look at the Examples which come with LabVIEW --> Exampled Finder --> Hardware Input/Output --> DAQmx --> Synchronization --> Multi-Function.
There are some examples which so the combination of analog and digital input.
Anyhow you will have to remove the right while loop as the DAQ Express VI which apparently gives you the "spanning, stroom, gashendel" values will only start once you have done the counter measurements. I assume that you would like to have the "spanning", "stroom", "gashendel" and"speed" synchronized measured.
Then you have the choice to log to file during acquisition or after the acquisition.
If you would like to log on the fly don't use the express VI's, but use the lower lever "File I/O" functions. These are faster (less processor time usage).
As you VI is written now, the left while loop will only output the lastest counter value measured to the next loop when you click the stop button for example.
You have to "Enable Indexing" of the m/s output tunnel. Right click on the tunnel and you will be able to select "Enable Indexing".
This way the application will automatically create an array and each loop iteration the measured value will be added. One the measurements have been done you can do analysis and save the data using the full array instead of point by point.
Again, also bring your "spanning, stroom and gashendel" inputs to the left loop.
In your right loop you also have a loop counter.
You can simply use the loop iteraction counter (the square box in the left bottom corner with the i). This is also counting from 0 and incrementing by 1 each loop iteration.
Again, you can do this in the left loop and forget the second loop completely.
Hopes this will bring you a step further.
Don't hesitate to post the VI itself. This is always easier to look at than an image.
This way we can also make some modications and post it back.

How Can You Bring Illustrator Cs5 Layers into Photoshop Cs5?

Hi everyone, Is it possible to bring Illustrator artwork into Photoshop so that the layers in Illustrator are layers in Photoshop, and so that all the content is arranged as it was in Illustrator.
What I have been doing is bringing in a shape or a group of shapes into Photoshop by pasting them into a layer in PS then bringing in some more stuff from another layer in Illustrator and pasting that into another layer in PS but obviously it's a mission to line up the contents again so it is arranged like it was in Illustrator in the first place.
Any help appreciated
thanks Gareth

No, it doesn't say how to do it there
Well, then you probably haven't read carefully enough about what can be set up when exporting as .psd in Illustrator.
When you export as .psd there are several export options about preserving layers. As mentioned, there are some restrictions.
But tell me, what is unclear about the following quote?
Write Layers
Exports groups, compound shapes, nested layers, and slices as separate, editable Photoshop layers. Nested layers that are more than five levels deep are merged into a single Photoshop layer. Select Maximum Editability to export transparent objects (that is, objects with an opacity mask, a constant opacity less than 100%, or a blending mode other than Normal) as live, editable Photoshop layers.
Preserve Text Editability
Exports horizontal and vertical point type in layers (including nested layers up to five levels deep) to editable Photoshop type. If doing so compromises the appearance of the artwork, you can deselect this option to rasterize the text instead.
Maximum Editability
Writes each top-level sublayer to a separate Photoshop layer if doing so doesn’t compromise the appearance of the artwork. Top-level layers become Photoshop layer sets. Transparent objects remain editable transparent objects. Also creates a Photoshop shape layer for each compound shape in a top‑level layer if doing so doesn’t compromise the appearance of the artwork. To write compound shapes with solid strokes, change the Join type to Round. Whether or not you select this option, all layers over 5 levels deep are merged into a single Photoshop layer.

Is illustrator CS6 compatible with photoshop CS4?

I have photoshop CS4 and was curious if illustrator cs6 would work

fedwards,
It would, with possible inherent limitations owing to new feature, probably less likely than the other way round.
Why not download a trial and see?

Why do applications (Illustrator, Pages, Mail) launch so slowly with spinning ball (about a minute to 90 seconds) when Mac is connected to our LAN, but when I disconnected Mac from the LAN, those applications launch instantly and function normally?

I hope I'm submitting this properly, I apologize if this irritates anyone because of improper etiquette. Why do applications (Illustrator, Pages, Mail) launch so slowly with spinning ball (about a minute to 90 seconds) when Mac is connected to our LAN, but when I disconnected Mac from the LAN, those applications launch instantly and function normally? This is a condition which seemed to start just recently and abruptly. These applications reside on, and are launched from the startup drive, not from a network drive. Also, we have a NAS drive on the LAN that we connect to that also takes a minute or two to mount, when it used to (before this problem) mount on the desktop in a matter of about 5 seconds. We have three identical Mac Pros on the LAN, and they all have this problem when launching and using the above mentioned applications. When I physically unplug the network cable from the Mac, all applications launch instantly and function normally. I know very little about networks, so I can't begin to test or change any setting pertaining to our network - if that is where the problem lies. The only recent change to our network situation is that we lost or our internet and phone service due to massive flooding here in Minot, North Dakota (our ISP tells us the communication lines are under water and shorting out). But shouldn't our LAN still function even though we have lost our connection to the outside world? Thanks so much, in advance, for helping me solve this problem. Sheldon.

Hi there.
A slow LAN can have many things so its going slow.
1) is your lan 1gbit speed? (full duplex)
2) are the macs also 1Gbit speed? (full duplex)
3) does your nas has a firewall? (so you can see what the mac asking there)
4) on the macs is the firewall on? (does the programms can pass the fw?)
5) how big is the nas and how many files/dirctorys are on the nas? (big folders speeds down )
many questions, but sometimes there is a solution.

Best books to get up to speed with LabView 7?

I am presently looking for advice as to the best book(s) to get up to
speed with LabView 7 (Best beginner's book, best intermediate book,
best advanced book). Any books to advoid? While I prefer hardcopy, I
would be open to the best online resources as well.

Basic feature.. Why won't it say?

Ok... Seems like it should be something that it should be able to do..
I'm trying to download (purchase a season pass) a tv show and it's telling "cannot download not enough space" no biggie but why can't you tell me how space you require and how much I'm off so I don't delete more than I need to.
And why won't it still let me purchase the season pass and only download what it can until I free up space. For instance the season of the show has 10 episodes and iTunes only can download 5 well when I'm done watching those 5 I delete them and the remaining 5 download?
Seems like such a basic feature....
/frustrated

yes ZEO5520 it would have helped in the situation but when traveling (especially international) it's not always condusive to pack all electronics and haul them around. this is not about syncing to a pc. good suggestion but not always the case.
my point is, in this day in age with technology, we should get more of a detailed message other than "there's not enough space"
I was more or less complaining because I had 12 gigs free on my ipad yet the TV series I wanted to download was 13.7gigs had I know that I could have freed up a couple more gigs (ie delete things I don't really use anymore and extra apps) to accomedate the video or have itunes download what it can until more space becomes available. I ended up doing a large house cleaning and freed up almost 19gigs of space on my ipad after the show downloaded I still have 5+ gigs free. had I known how much space was required I could have planned better
if itunes can auto sync new shows in a current season it should be smart enough to say "I can only download 2 shows until more space is available"

E65 - basic features missing

Just purchased an E65.
Beautiful thing but there are so many useful features missing that I am used to in my old Nokia phones.
1. Can't change font settings - there is only one fint and it is very small.
2. Can't set repeat alarm.
3. No smiley
4. Can't cancel start up tone
I can go on and on. I read that the software used for E65 is Simbian or something which is different from the one used for old Nokia phones, S60? The lack of basic but very useful features in the E65 has been very disaponting indeed
Didn't Nokia test the phone for these basic features?
What is Nokia's rationale for having these features removed?

I can confirm that all the points you make are common to all the latest N- and E-series phones - which all run Symbian 60 3rd Edition.
For the first problem, the only thing you can do is select a theme with high contrast .. or buy a magnifying glass.
For the second, there are a number of 3rd party solutions that provide the sort of alarm functionality you're after. They're all very expensive for what they are though: I was looking at one yesterday until I realised it was US$20! I mean, US$5, OK, but US$20? For a daily alarm? Fuggedaboudit ..
Don't know what you can do about the last two. I guess if you could find the Nokia start up sound file you could replace it with an empty file, but you'd need 3rd party tools and anyway, I doubt it can be done.
