Change Cursor Size with Pen Pressure

Does anyone know of a way to make the paintbrush cursor size change dynamically according to pen pressure with a tablet?
I'm coming to Photoshop from GIMP, and in GIMP when you use more or less pressure on the tablet, the cursor icon automatically changes size based on the pressure so you know exactly how large a line the tool will draw.
In Photoshop it seems you can choose "normal" or "full size" for the cursor circle, or else use crosshairs, but there doesn't seem to be an option for a dynamically shaped cursor. Am I wrong and just missing something? Or does Photoshop really not have this feature?

When you press and hold Option/Alt + Control and Left mouse click and drag nothing happens?
(the button on your pen is set to left click?)
The Option/Alt key should always be the second key to the left of the spacebar
The Control key should always be the third key to the left of the spacebar

How to change flash size with ac3?

I want to change flash size with xml. Sample config.xml
<genGenis>300</genGenis>
<genYuksek>100</genYuksek>
My flash read xml and change size to 300 * 100
After working in a flash I want to change the default values. Is this possible?

Have you worked with XML before? You're going to need to load that XML file and wait for it to complete. After you do that, are you using layout logic based on these values to create your content? Meaning do you have code in place to realize you have (as you said) 500x200 space so your code is able to use the space available effectively? Or do you just expect the content of the SWF to scale automagically?
As for the loader, you can use a simple URLLoader to load the external XML file. Here's a quick Adobe code snippit and explaination on how to load it:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9b90204-7e6a.html
Once you have the XML in an XML object you can just access the value via the XML variable name you make (e.g. myXML) with the name of the node while getting its text value. In your case you'll need to convert it to a Number because you may want the flexibility of using fractions (e.g. 1.5, 500.25, etc). So you'd need to case the value to a number. So to get the width it'd be like: var myWidth:Number = Number(myXML.genGenis.text()); and same for height just changing the variable and node name as needed.
Now that you have your values you can write layout code to use the numbers and handle the content creation yourself.
If you don't do that, as Andrei1 mentioned you'll need to affect the object embedded directly using ExternalInterface (Flash AS3 talking to the webpages JavaScript) requesting the object be resized to the new size.
You'll want to make sure your stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT; or stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_BORDER; so your SWF content is "stretched" to the size you request. Exact fit will allow the content to distort if necessary to fill the width and height. No border will scale the content to the size specified but will maintain the aspect ratio. It's up to you whichever you want.
If you have any specific questions on any of this just ask.

Is there a way to change how Photoshop handles pen pressure per stroke?

I'm a digital illustrator, and at current I have to switch between Corel Painter and Photoshop for my work flow, but for only one seemingly simple reason. Painter obviously has reproducing natural media at its heart, and as such some of the dry media functions (charcoal, pencil, pastel, etc.) work with an absolute pressure basis. No matter how many times you go over a swathe of pixels or pick up your pen, opacity/flow is determined solely by pressure.
Photoshop on the other hand functions more like wet media, with the assumption that you're picking up more paint with every lift of the pen.
Now here's the real kicker, I'm not a big fan of Painter. I'm more comfortable with Photoshop and I've found plenty of ways to get past texture and blending issues with the wonderful open ended brush tools and a couple fancy plugins, but I can't get around this. I learned art as a dry media artist, and as such my hand and brain don't compute a slight lift off the tablet with gathering more color.
So to put it simply: Is there a way to adjust Photoshop's pen pressure from pen pressure = opacity x stroke to just pen pressure = total opacity?
Because I would stop buying Painter if Photoshop had this option.
Thanks in advance for any input!

Don't know any 'automatic' way - but, i have "Fetch Headers only" set on each of my 'secondary accounts'.
With varying internet service, manual "Get Messages" is probably the "Best Practice" because you will know how good your service is before you even try.
maybe set "Check for new messages every 'n' minutes" to different times
(3 minutes, 6 minutes, etc.) on each 'secondary' account.

Cannot change page size with acrobat

I am able to convert my manuscript in Mac word(2011) to adobe acrobat (XI); unfortunately the 6 X 9 " page size does not convert. I spent a few hours on the phone with adobe support and the final resolution was to upload the file to them and they converted it for me. however, they used distiller which reduced the file size and appears to have affected the many images. Does anyone have any advice? The best I have been able to glean online is work with inDesign to change page size.

Thanks.
The problem was with the paper size. In addition to change the page size I needed to change the paper size in the print option before selecting save Adobe PDF.
From Word go to File> Print
Open the Copies & Pages dropdown
Select Paper Handling
Check the Scale to fit paper size box
Open the Destination Paper Size list
Select your custom 6x9 Preset
Click the PDF button
Select either Save as PDF or Save as Adobe PDF
The unfortunate thing is that I was able to do this initially, but when I went back to replicate it adobe is creating 2 files one with my cover page and the rest to the manuscript. Luckily my initial copy was good. Thanks again for your help.

Changing brush size with keyboard?

is there a way to change the size of a brush, like that of the clone stamp without having to drag the slider in the property inspector, but instead with a keyboard short cut like you can do in Photoshop?

It's possible that there exists an extension for this...

Hi,
we don´t have many options for setting the font type and size in an ABAP list. One option is that you print the output using either SmartForms or AdobeForms, where you can control font type as well as size. This one requires additional work.
Another option is to use the instruction Print-Control:
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON.
PRINT-CONTROL FONT 1 SIZE 1 LPI 6 CPI 10.
WRITE: /10   'FONT 1 size 1 LPI 6 cpi 10'.
SKIP.
PRINT-CONTROL FONT 1 SIZE 5 LPI 6 CPI 5.
WRITE: /10   'FONT 1 size 5 LPI 6 cpi 5'.
SKIP.
PRINT-CONTROL FONT 2 SIZE 5 LPI 6 CPI 10.
WRITE: /10   'FONT 2 size 5 LPI 6 cpi 10'.
SKIP.
NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF.

Change Page size with a Script

I have made artwork in Illustrator that is set up as two page spreads on 1 artboard.
I need to convert this to single page spreads.
I.e. So for half the documents, I need to set the anchor point of the document to top left and half the width of the artboard.
For the other half of the documents, I need to set anchor point to to right and half the width.
Is this possible with scripting?
I have look around online to find ways of accessing the document size and anchor point via scripting, but cannot seem to find any resources.
Thanks for any help that can be offered.
Edit: Also is it possible to create a new artboard with a script and assign it a name?

here you go, this script splits the artboard in two

How to change cursor size in InDesign?

My InDesign cursor suddenly became huge after the previous before last update. I can't find any settings in preferences, but probably I'm looking in the wrong place.

You can colorize non-transparent grayscale images or bitmap mode images either by selectiing them with the direct select tool and chhosing a swatch for the fil color, or by dragging the swatch and dropping it on the image.

Changing Layout size with artwork

Hi there
I have 9 little magazines that I have to send for print tomorrow. I received the artwork on disc, but the initial artwork is a custom size. I need the artwork to be printed on A5.
Is it at all possible to change the page setting to A5 and the artwork will conform to the size change? Or do I have to change the artwork to fit the A5 size page by page?
Hope I asked the question right.
Thank you very much

Is the artwork PDF format?

How to best change shoulder shape with pen tool: cut graphic in half and reflect?

Hi,
I'm working with a .eps file of a mannequin. I need to make the shoulders more square and more rounded to show variations on body type. I'm not an illustrator whiz, but I thought that it would be best to slice the graphic down the middle, alter one shoulder, and then reflect it so that they are even. But how do I do cut it in half?
I've been playing with the convert anchor point tool to change the should shape and while it works, it's very hard for me to replicate the exact same effect on the opposite side. I've uploaded the file so that you can see what I'm talking about. If anyone could suggest the best route, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks!

For the scissors, you need to insert extra anchor points at the cutting point.
It is not necessary to insert an anchorPoint before cutting a segment with the Scissor.
Also, assuming we're talking about closed or filled path(s) here:
1. Knife Tool.
2. Press and hold Alt.
3. Drag the Knife all the way across the Path(s). Add Shift to constrain to vertical/horizontal/45 diagonal angles.
If the paths are open and unfilled, the Knife tool is useless. It also does not abide by SmartGuides. (Illustrator has three cutting tools and they are all pathetic.)

I have Wacom Intuos 4, and for some reason pen pressure isn't working with PSE 10

I can still use wacom tablet pen to draw in Photoshop Elements 10, but I am frustrated because I could not get lines thinner and thicker with more pressure I apply with the pen like I could with Photoshop Elements 7 - and I had already checked "size" in the tablet setting in PSE 10. I also made sure I set up my Wacom Tablet Properties to apply to Photoshop Elements 10, and I still can't vary the lines like I want.   Any suggestions? (also, could it be because I unwittingly bought and installed 34 bits PSE 10 in my 64-bit computer with Window 7 - is that what is preventing PSE 10 from making lines thin and thick with pen pressure?)
Thanks for your help.

photodrawken, I went to Wacom website and looked up the latest driver. I see Driver 4.60 for Windows -- will that work on my 64 Windows 7?   (The information didn't mention which Windows, but did warned not to install it on Window Vista 64.)

Inverse / reverse pen pressure settings?

There have been a topic about this basic setting back in 2009.
Is it still imposibble to achive a setting with wacom pen tablet to draw at full brush size with minimum pressure, and to make precise, small size brush strokes with harder pressure?!
If it is still imposibble in a leadership software, the drawer has to push the pen all the way down in 95% of the work process, and lighter for the rest 5%... It should be reversable on the brush panel!

Just had a look round. I found the thread from 2009 where Chris Cox said it was on their to-do list, but AFAIK that has not been actioned yet. I also had a look at the table properties, and Wacom forums, but nothing their either.
So all in all, it's yet another feature that Lazy Nezumi Pro has managed to add to pen tablets. Guillaume (the man behind LNP) is a one man tour de force who never stops improving his product, and you get all those updates for ever once you buy the plugin.
A little story...
I was working on Christmas day — my wife was on duty at the hospital and there are few things I like more than messing with Photoshop — but ran into difficulty with LNP because its panel was off my screen. Nothing I tried could fix it, so out of desperation I used the chat feature on the LNP site, and surprise surprise, Guillaume was also working on Christmas day. He spent the next 15 minutes helping me fix, before, no doubt, going back to adding yet more value to LNP.
In case anyone ever has this happen to a multi screen Windows 7 system (these criteria were all instrumental to the cause). Go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Lazy Nezumi\Lazy nezumi Pro\MainWindow
And change the value for point to @Point(0 0)
It will have a minus value if you have the problem.

Pen pressure not working???

Yeah so, just the other day I was using my brush with pen pressure, but now its not working!!
I have no clue how that happened either!!
I keep trying to apply the pen pressure to the brush tool, but it doesn't show that there is any sensitivity to the brush! :O
I don't think its the tablet that is acting up, cause it seems to be working normal.
So I have no clue whats wrong with it!! I don't have to change the size jitter tho right? Cause I never had to before.
I had put in the control box at the top that I wanted to have pen pressure so that couldn't be the problem either.
I tried resetting the menus, and then setting the pallets back to defult, but neither helped.
Any ideas at this point would be helpful thoooo. Need to finish my works soon!!

Yeah thats exactly how I had it, but it won't show for some reason that I added that attribute to the brush???
Maybe restarting the computer will help??
