Brush resizing with pen
Using Photoshop CS6, is there any way to make the up and down motion of control+option+pen ALSO control brush size? I keep making erroneous minute up/down changes to hardness or opacity while resizing left and right.
I don't think so, but you CAN tell it not to adjust the hardness via a preference setting in the General category. This should be a multi-select field instead of a checkbox.

Brush resize with [ ] deletes layer
Hello, ALL!
I have Photoshop CS4 x64 Extended installed on Windows XP x64 and there is a problem with resizing brushes with brackets []. Pressing these buttons leads to active layer deletion. Undo restores layer and resizing work ok for a while, but after some resizes or selection of another layer, the same error occures. I have 11.0.1 update installed. This error is actual for both x32 and x64 versions. Drag resize works fine.
Did someone face the same issue and have a solution?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards / Ilya.If you are experiencing problems like that and you are in the laptop make sure to check the keyboard shortcuts and change them to some other key on your keyboard. This tutorial shows you how to:

On Screen Liquify Brush Resizing Issue
Hello
I love screen brush resizing feature (alt+right click drag) added since version CS5, it works perfect I can say to be addicted to it.
But I believe after some of the recent Photoshop CC updates the behaviour of brush resizing in Liquify menu changed. Now I can describe it as lagged, graduated, it can freeze forcing me to drag the cursor farther (I use wacom tablet). The same time brush resizing outside of Liquify menu works perfect.
Can the problem be associated with my video card?
I will post the same message to photoshop.com as well, just want to be noticed.It might be an issue specific to your system, as you mention.
Brush resizing (with a mouse) in the Liquify filter for me is perfectly responsive - smooth and quick, just as on the main Photoshop document display.

HI everybody i want to ask if you come me in help, i want to draw paths but when i use stroke options with pen or brush settings i loose quality when i zoom in , can someone help me with pen settings???
The work path is a vector object, and infinitely scalable, but when you stroke it, Photoshop lays pixels on a layer that follow the path. These pixels are raster based and can not be scaled without loosing quality. You do have options. If you want to make the raster layer bigger, transform the work path and stroke it again. Or work at a higher resolution in the first place.
Incidentally, you can't stroke a Path with the Pen, because it is a Vector based tool, and stroking is a raster based function. -
Slow down when processing image clipping in photo shop with pen tool
Adobe cs5 slow down when processing image clipping use with pen tool. The path is applying after few seconds when we draw on the image. My system supporting 4 GB memory with 64 bit.
The main thing i use paths for in photoshop is extracting objects from photos.
Other uses include stroking paths with the paint tools. For example, if you had
a powerline to remove, one could trace the line with the pen tool and then stroke
the path with spot healing brush set to content aware fill.

Brush Cursor - Art Pen Rotation
Hi !
Today I downloaded the trial of PS CS5.
I think its a really great step for digital painting and I love
the new bristle and mixer brushes-
But one thing really disappointed me. I´m using a Wacom Art Pen to control
the angle of the brushes by the rotation of the pen.
When I first tried a Bristle Brush, I was really happy that i was able to rotate
the brush cursor with my pen.. but when i started painting, the brush stopped rotating
and stayed in the initial direction.
Even worse: The normal brushes are still as static as in the previous Photoshop versions.
By not showing the rotation of the brush, it is really hard to set an precise brush stroke
with the right angle.
Am i missing something, it is a bug or is Adobe still planing not to change this disadvantage ?
Best regards,
FlorianI think the question about the CPU was directed at another poster, but mine is a new Dell with a fast processor and fast card. It works great with the bristle brushes.
I'll give you an example of what I need to do. If I were to make a new brush out of the words "AIR MAIL" and want to rubber stamp those words around on my image at specific places and at specific angles, I need the ghost outline of the AIR MAIL brush to rotate on the fly as I rotate the barrel of the pen. When I click once on the screen, I want the lettering to rubber stamp the image in the color of choice and relative to the amout of pressure I apply, but I want to be in control of the angle the rubber stamp is applied.
So, I can't use the brushes "randomizer" feature because I want to know and control exactly where and how the imprint will be applied.
The AIR MAIL stamp is only a visual example of what I am needing to do. In reality, I have some spatter brushes that are essentially different on all sides. I am using that kind of brush to paint in a layer mask around the edges on an image layer to reveal the white background layer underneath. I need to be able to see exactly what part of the brush is being painted in with black and rotate it regularly to keep from getting too many repetitive strokes. I don't need these brushes to tilt, only rotate as I rotate the pen in my fingers, but I definitely need the ghost preview of the brush on the screen before I apply it.
Currently, I am only seeing the rotation behavior I need when using one of the eight or nine special bristle brushes.

I'm looking for a good note app with pen function for taking notes ( in English and German ) during business trips. Can anyone help?
Really sorry to hear about this, particularly when you're putting your life on the line. But Apple cannot track your iPhone in any way unless you had set up Find My iPhone prior to it being lifted.
It's possible that AT&T might be able to do something, but it's probably that they cannot track it, or will not without a request from an authorized law enforcement agency, but rather would only disable the device. You'll have to try and find a way to contact AT&T directly and ask if they can do anything to help you; the chances of any AT&T employee in a position to help you spotting this thread it pretty small.
Good luck, stay safe, and come home soon.

I need some help resizing my images on PS6. I am using a mac and have been trying to resize with same resolution and constaining proportions but for some reaseon the smaller resized image appears pizelated. Heres an image of before and after. The first image I use is a JPG 72dpi 1500px x1500px and I want to downsize it to 600x600px same res, but it keeps pixelating, this has never happened before. Any suggestions, thoughts?
thanks!I wouldn't say pixelated; more like blurry.
Like ConnectedCreative said, what steps are you using? Are you using "bicubic sharper" when resizing down? -
Hi,
I just got Photoshop CS5 and I'm having a bit of trouble with the pen tool - namely, I can't see the path I'm creating. In CS3 I could clearly see the line between two points but in the new program the line is nearly invisible making it very difficult to create the path. Is this a setting I can fix?
thanksI was having 32 bit while I upgraded from CS3 to CS4. The only problem with CS4 that time was with pen tool.Though I cannot precisely recall , I can say it t was very lazy and very frustrating and this was resolved totally after shifting to 64 bit.--If urs existing system is 32 bit try with 64 bit

Node Container that does not resize with Window Resize Event
Hello,
I'm not new to Java but I am new to JavaFX.
I plan to have a container/Canvas with multiple shapes (Lines, Text, Rectangle etc) in it. This Container can be X times in the Szene with different Text Shapes. I need to Zoom and Pan (maybe rotation) the whole Szene and the Containers/Canvas.
So I was playing around with that but I have two issues.
1) all Canvas classes that I found (like Pane for example) do resize with the main window resize event. The content of the canvas isn't centered any more.
2) I added a couple of Rectangles to the canvas and both the rectangles and the canvas have a mouse listener which will rotate the item/canvas. Problem is, that even if I click the rectangle also the underlaying canvas is rotated...I think I need some kind of Z-Info to find out what was clicked.
Here is the little example program, it makes no produktiv sense but it demonstrates my problem.
Does anybody has a tip what canvas class would fit and does not resize with the main window and how to figure out what was clicked?

}Edited by: 953596 on 19.08.2012 12:03To answer my own Question, it depends how you add childs.
It seems that the "master Container", the one added to the Scene will allways resize with the window. To avoid that you can add a container to the "master Container" and tell it to be
pane.setPrefSize(<child>.getWidth(), <child>.getHeight());
pane.setMaxSize(<child>.getWidth(), <child>.getHeight());
root.getChildren().add(pane);and it will stay the size even if the window is resized.
Here is the modified code. Zooming and panning is working, zomming to window size is not right now. I'll work on that.

How can i get my webview to auto-resize with the size of a window in xcode (Mac App)
Hello, i am developing a Mac app with xCode on my macbook air but i am having one issue i have a web view but i cant get it to resize with a window and currently the web view is activated by a button as i diddnt know the coding to make it automated.
Any help is appreciated.Best option is to use Windows Migration Assistant as Ralph noted.
Here's a better (updated) link to Windows Migration Assistant for Lion -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796
Or if you only want iTunes (Migration Assistant let's you choose) copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from your PC to /Music/ on the Mac.
FYI: A MacBook is not a PowerBook. PowerBooks were discontinued in 2005. -
Help for WindowedApplication resizing with the transition from center to foursquare?
Any idea to resolve the WindowedApplication window to resize with the transition from center to foursquare?
thanks a lot!
DavidUse the Tween class to transition the window's current width and height properties to their final width and height. Register a function to receive one of the tween's "motionChange" event so you can reposition the window accordingly when its w and h are changed. You'll need to measure the window's bounds and position at each step to make sure it's not outside the screen bounds, or smaller/larger than allowed. How you resize the interior stage content is up to you...

My time capsule was working and then I added another Macbook pro. TC stopped appearing in Airport Utilities. I have tried resetting TC, I have turned if off and held reset button with pen for >10 secs. I just cannot work out what else to do? I have turned router off and on. Amber light is flashing.
The ethernet says self assigned IP 169.254.67.6
Then the ethernet is not getting an IP from the TC.. there is no connection.
I am not sure where you mean when you say the green LED should be on. Do you mean the TC?
Thanks
In order to help troubleshoot ethernet connections all routers use connectivity leds.. even APPLE.. it has one big LED on the front.. and 4 tiny leds beside each ethernet port. That light has to come on for ethernet to be active.. if you plug an ethernet cable into the port and the light doesn't come on.. then there is no connection.. either the other end isn't plugged in.. or the cable is bad.. or the ethernet port is bad.. something is wrong.
To get access to the TC you need this led to be green.. is it?
If it is green and the WAN is also green.. then I want you to unplug the WAN connection.. the blue wire in the picture.. the port slightly separated from the 3 LAN port.. computer plugged just into LAN port.. no airport turned on.. and press the reset again for 10sec until front led flashes rapidly.. then try and bring up the airport utility again.. assuming the ethernet led is green.
How old and what model is the TC?
The A number from the rubber mat will tell us the model. -
