Changing default Global light angle?

How can the default angle setting for global light be changed, in Photoshop CS4?
I do not like the 30' but prefer 120' to have the light from top left and shadows bottome right. However, saving as a style does not save the angle, just all the other settings.
I would be grateful for help as I have lots of images I need to prepare for a website that uses my preference in lighting, so would like it to match. At the moment, I am ready to SCREAM!!!! For the money this software costs, such an option should be easy.

Peter,
The reason that Zeno's script didn't affect existing files is because it only activates when a new document is created (assuming you followed his instructions to the letter and selected "New Document" from the event list). Select "Open Document" from the event list and it should work. An alternative would be to assign a keyboard shortcut to the Action you created and just use that anytime you want to reset the default.
Also, is Global Light functionality even important to you to preserve? If not:
If you just want to always create a style with the same angle all the time and don't care about Global Light functionality in the future, just create a Style Preset with Global Light unchecked. This will always create the layer style with the angle you desire within both new and existing documents.
The problem will be that in the future is if you want to change the angle of multiple layer styles in the same document, you will not be able to just change Global Light and automatically impact all the layer styles. A work-around in this case would be to create a new style preset with the new angle, select all the layers you want to change, and then apply the new preset.

  • Anyone managed to change default hyperlink colour or to globally change hyperlink colour in Pages????

    Anyone managed to change default hyperlink colour or to globally change hyperlink colour in Pages????
    - Thats all I  want to do, the holy grail of desktop publishing, being able to choose a colour and apply it everywhere, c'mon Apple sort it out, its surely not rocket surgery....

    I figured it out.
    Select one instance of the hyperlink, and define it as a character style in the styles drawer.
    Then create the preferred style you want to use for hyperlinks and save it to character styles.
    You can select every instance of the original link style, and replace with the preferred style.
    Hopefully I've explained this adequately.
    Cheers.

  • Global Light Defaults

    In CS4 I was able to set a global light default by going to Layer > Layer Styles > Glogal Light... Once I set that global light value (example: 90º), any new document created would have that same global light setting.
    In CS5, I have to set the global light on every single new document that I create. The default setting I choose is totally ignored on new documents.
    Do I have a bad install? Does global light work for others in the same way as cs4? Are they fixes that people are aware of for this issue?
    Thanks in Advance

    If you mean the Lighting Effects Filter, that was removed from PSE12. However if you have an older version of PSE you can copy the Lighting Effects filter to PSE12 (unless it is the PSE10 version which does not work). If you don't have an older version you can still download the PSE11 trial from prodesigntools.com (providing you follow their very important instructions exactly).

  • Change default PCTFREE?

    Kind of an odd question - I teach a database course and one of the questions I have on an assignment is to find the maximum length of a primary key, basically try to raise an 01450 error. I have an 8k db_block_size setup on the database so the maximum key length is 6398.
    I understand the main factor to this magic number is db_block_size which I cannot change, but I guess the PCTFREE (and INIT_TRANS) for the table also comes into play. I understand that by default PCTFREE is set to 10%. Is there a way to change this global default to PCTFREE system wide so I have a different answer than I did last year? I've found this is a great question to find people that cheat in my course by using a solution from a previous term so I like to have it different each time I teach it.
    Thanks,
    Josh

    There is no supported method for changing the default table pct_free value for the database.

  • Illustrator CS5 - Change to global rulers - scriptable?

    I wonder if the CS5 command "Change to global rulers" is scriptable. When I try to record it as an Action script step, it is not recorded and I do not see anything in the JavaScript-ing guide on setting this programatically either.
    Thanks

    Does anyone know how to make "Chanmge to Global Rulers" a default command each time Illustrator CS6 opens?

  • How to change default FCoE QoS class - Nexus 5020

    I see that on a Nexus 5020, the default FCoE QoS class is 50%. I am not using FCoE so I would like to adjust this value to 0%. I switch complains and says I can't change default values. How should I go about getting around this to eliminate the FCoE queue and give 100% BW to default? Thanks.

    No. The default classloader is a builtin classloader in
    the JRE. You can use other classloaders.
    The java.net.URLClassLoader is provided in
    the JDK. That's the only one. Otherwise you
    should subclass ClassLoader and implement
    the loadClass method (f.i.
    loadClass("my.program") {
    String file="my.program".replace('.','/') + ".class";
    // find the file in classpath
    // read the class file in a byte[]
    return defineClass(byte[]);
    although this is not the advised way to do it. Search the web for how to implement a classloader directly.

  • How to change default thresholds for some metrics of all targets.

    Hi!
    We have a lot of servers which have to work hard.
    So, our OEM very often generates messages like these:
    "EM Alert: Critical:dbsora90.tsb.kz - CPU Utilization is 99.95%, crossed warning (80) or critical (95) threshold."
    "EM Alert: Critical:dbsora94.tsb.kz - Disk Device c8t60A9800043346C384C344A4A63516D6Ad0(ssd4) is 99.7% busy."
    "EM Alert: Critical:dbsora94.tsb.kz - CPU Load (Run Queue Length averaged over 5 minutes) is 20.78, crossed warning (10) or critical (20) threshold."
    I need to change default tresholds for mentioned metrics but I can't their defenition in SYSMAN.MGMT_*-tables or suitable settings in OEM GUI.
    And I have no time to edit treshholds manually for each target. )

    Modification of Metric Thresholds (as this is what you are referring to), should be done using the Metrics and Policy Settings link (to be found in the Target Home page).
    Don't mess around with the SYSMAN tables!
    Best thing to do here is to start using Monitoring Templates for this.

  • How to change default compile directory tmp_ejb?

    Dear all,
    Someone knows how to change the default directory "tmp_ejb...." in WebLogic Server
    7.0?
    This is the default directory where WebLogic Server 7.0 generates and compiles
    the EJB's declared in config.xml.
    I try to specify the attribute TmpPath="ANOTHER_TMP_LOCATION_DIRECTORY_FOR_EJB"
    in the EJBContainer node but still doesn't work.
    The same thing happens when I test this attribute on EJBComponent declaration.
    Someone knows if there is an enviroment variable that specify this tmp_ejb location
    path?
    It's false that the tmp_ejb is located where the config.xml file is placed.
    I have 3 weblogic servers and they haven't the same behaviour.
    Someone can help me??????
    Thanks.

    I ran into the same problem and was wondering if you got an aswer the question you posted in BEA's news group: "How to change default compile directory tmp_ejb?

  • How to change default Ovi Player store ...

    Hi, 
    I need help from you people.  
    I had installed Ovi Player. Whenever I try to open Ovi Player, the default store gets’ open is "India". I change the store location to "Germany". When I do the search for particular music, it will again take me to "India" store instead of "Germany" store. In addition, most annoying is that I have to re-login but my user id and password will not work as its different store. Also when I go via music.nokia.de and try to login, it open Ovi player and since default location is "India", it takes me to India store and my login credentials do not work.  
    I ask Nokia care on how to change default Ovi Player Store location but they are unable to provide any good answer.  
    I already un-install / re-installed but won't work. Do any of you have answer to my problem? I want my default Ovi Player location to be "Germany" instead of "India".  
    More information, my regional settings have location as “Germany” and language as “English”.  
    Please help. 
    Thanks for your response.

    I had got message from Nokia on how to correct this issue. This had solved the problem. Below is the mail from them ...
    Dear Chakraborty,
     Thank you for your response.
     This error is sometimes caused by a corrupted MDataStore.db3 file used by the Ovi Player.  This file will need to be deleted with the Ovi Player closed.  Then open the player and the datastore file will be rewritten by the application:
     Close Ovi Music Player and delete the MDataStore.db3 file:
     Vista C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\DataBase\MDataStore.db3
     XP C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\DataBase\MDataStore.db3
     Both of these locations are in hidden folders.  So, to view them users will need to: 
     Open Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > View > Show Hidden Files and Folders
    Once Ovi Music is opened again the MDataStore.db3 file will be rewritten to this folder.
      After that manipulation try to install the Ovi Player once again:
