Can't keep brush presets in preferred size order

I know this is anal, but I like to keep my brush presets arranged in order of size from larger to smaller, top to bottom. Now, after using CS3 for about 6 months, then adding OS 10.5.5, I can't keep them in order. It's like the battery is dying or something. Every time I start up Photoshop, that is every day, I have to go into the Presets Manager and rearrange everything all over again. It's driving me crazy. Note: they always de-arrange into the same order; maybe it's the order I originally wrote them in. I don't know. I don't care. What do I have to do? I'm on a G5 PM 2GHz w/ 1.5 GB RAM.

Thanks for the post. I dug in a bit further. To recap: I've arranged the tool/brush presets just so. If I quit Photoshop, restart or shutdown, upon start, the presets have reverted to a different order. Always the same order, just not the order I left them in. Every single time. The battery is fine. I tested it. Time and date are fine, and all other PRAM details are OK. I keep a Test User, tried that, and I get the same problem. I don't use the bracket keys. I Called Adobe TS and the agent assured me, after on-the-spot testing, that no version of CS in combo with Tiger or Leopard has EVER maintained a list of brush presets in a specific order. All I can say to that is, quote: "Horse puckey", unquote. IF that is the case, then A: What the heck is the Preset Manager for? B: what was happening here in my computer for the past ten years or so? and C: If the Preset Manager can manage to keep the brush SIZE presets arranged in the user-defined sequence ad nauseum, why is it impossible to keep the brush TOOL presets in a user-defined sequence? Can anybody help? I'm getting tired of poking the Preset Manager every day.

    iDVD does not care about file sizes, as it compresses the file to the standard DVD format of mpeg2.
    It only cares about length i.e. max 2 hours including titles etc.
    iDVD encoding settings:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
    Short version:
    Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
    Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
    Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
    Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
    In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
    You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
    Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
    NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
    And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

  • How can i keep zoomed in a certain size different sites without having to zoom in every time each site?

    when i open Firefox, the size of the letters is small and i can't see well. i zoom in a certain size, but when i open a new site the letters return to their previous size.. how can i preserve a certain size off letters without having to do the same thing (zoom in ) every time i open a new site? the analysis at my laptop is 1920*1080..

    The Firefox [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Page+Zoom Page Zoom] feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox, as with some other browsers.
    Try the Default FullZoom Level extension: <br />

    Or the NoSquint extension: <br />

  • Firefox font size is getting bigger and i can't keep it under a certain size

    so i keep my font size somewhat small but lately all the pages i visit are blown up to a large size font and i cannot seem to get it back to the way it was.

    for me its happening to every page i used to have facebook fit in the window now it seems like i have it blown up for a visually impaired person. (no offense) but google as well as most sites that i come across the font size is 20. i tried downloading an add on that controls my page size but even its not working because it keeps opening at 110%

  • Why is my panel's preferred size changing as I resize the window?

    I have a JEditorPane inside a JPanel, which is wrapped in a JScrollPane. The JEditorPane contains a wide image and I expect to see horizontal scrollbars if the viewport is smaller than the minimum size needed to display the image.
    When my panel is displayed for the first time and the viewport size is smaller than the image, the horizontal scrollbars appear and the size of the scrollable area is set to the width of the image. This is the expected behaviour. When I resize the panel so that its is wider than the image and the scrollbars are no longer needed, the scrollbars disappear. However, when I shrink the panel back, the scrollbars appear at the correct "time" (when the edge of the image is reached), but the scrollable area is too wide, similar to the size I had stretched the panel out to.
    I am printing out the preferred size that the panel is returning (which will be used to set the scrollable area), and it seems to keep changing. The preferred size seems to grow with the panel's actual size, but it does not shrink back when I make the panel smaller.
    Anyone has any idea on what might be happening?

    Welcome to the Sun forums.

  • Photoshop crash every time I use my brush preset.

    Hello,
    So I made a simple brush of a leaf, and after I selected the presets that I want for this brush my photoshop crashed, this happened several times. Interestingly I noticed that if i did not choose color dynamics and change the fore/background jitter, photoshop is fine. But I want to be able to use this preset! Any ideas?
    I've got the macbook pro and it's only half a year old, so I don't think it's a problem with ram or anything like that... =(
    Julie

    thanks for the advice!!
    i trashed my preferences and it worked!
    btw, you can find the brush presets in windows ->brush
    and select options such as brush dynamics and color dynamics there. =)

  • How can I keep my albums in iPhoto arranged in the order of my preference - alphabetically? Once arranged, iPhoto periodically rearranges them.

    How can I keep Albums in iPhoto in the order in which I arrange them? iPhoto periodically rearranges them in seemingly random order.

    Have iPhoto '11. Several times I have arrangged the Albums in alphabetical order. Perhaps "periodically rearrange" isn't the correct terminology, but if not the next time I open iPhoto then the 2nd or 3rd or 4th or..., the albums are in a different order, non-alphabetical. This was not a problem in the last iPhoto version.
    Don't understand your question of "what goes on..."

  • Can see different brush size options but it won't let me change the size

    When I'm in Flash CC 2014, I go to the tools menu, then the brush size option, and I can see all of the various brush sizes. I am able to click any size, but when I go to draw, it keeps defaulting to the same size over and over. I'm completely unable to change the brush size. Any ideas?

    i am using a wacom bamboo fun cte-650 as my tablet
    the pressure sensetivity is disabled, and the tilt option is disabled as well.
    i am running flash CC 2014 = Version 14.0 - Released June 2014
    and we have tried this with just the mousepad, and the tablet, neither seem to let us change brush sizes
    i have attached a video of the issue taking place

  • I can't adjust my Brush Presets in Photoshop CC when using a Wacom Intuos 2 Tablet.

    Hi.... I hope someone out there can help me with this. I'm using Photoshop CC with an Wacom Intros 2 Tablet.   I want my Brush Tool preset to be "Soft Round" so I can create smooth consistently shaped lines when clicking & dragging along the straight edge of a selection.
    When I attempt to do this in the Brush Presets Panel it seems to be locked on "Shape Dynamics" with Pen Pressure control.  Whenever I switch both of these off & try to create a different brush preset it will automatically jump back in to the same settings, even after locking the Brush Preset & creating a new Brush. What I end up with when clicking & dragging is a fine point at one end of the line & a soft round brush effect at the other end.  Very frustrating!  I don't have this problem when using a Mouse, and a friend who is using Photoshop CS5 with an Intros 2 tablet is not having this issue either.  Is this just another one of the few glitches I've noticed with Photoshop CC?  Or am I overlooking something?
    Thanks in advance.

  • How can I use the custom new image size presets also when I resize an image

    Hi there,
    I have created some new image presets at various sizes, and I have saved these presets.
    They appear when I create a new image.
    How can I get these preset sizes to also appear when I re-size an image ?
    The presets for new images seems to be stored in a different way to the re-size image presets, as the re-size image presets are empty.
    Many thanks

    The original file is 32 MB:

    After the PDF/A-1B save as:

  • Can't load tpl brush presets (CS5, Mac OSX 10.5)

    Hi all,
    I'm using Photshop CS5.1 on my Mac (OSX 10.5.8) and don't seem to be able to load tpl files.
    I put the file in Photoshop's "presets -> tools" folder and tried to open it via the brush presets picker. When I browse for the file, only ABR files are shown, TPLs are greyed out.
    Any idea why this could be and what I could do to make the preset work?
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Open them in the tool presets picker, the preset manager, double click them, or drag them to the application icon.
