Confused by how Paint Brushes Work

I draw a rectangle in object mode, and using the Brush Mode
options:
a) paints fill paints behind the shape. What is considered
the fill in this example?
b) paints inside, seems to paint inside the shape, however,
if I start painting outside the shape and into the shape, the
stroke appears only outside of the shape and not inside.
When drawing the shape in non-object mode:
a) Paints fill paints both on top and outside of the shape
b) paints inside, seems to paint inside the shape, however,
if I start painting outside the shape and into the shape, the
stroke appears only outside of the shape and not inside.
Can anyone clarify how this is supposed to work?
Thanks!!!

Confused about how Yahoo mail works on iTouch

A few questions before i buy an iTouch:
1. My Yahoo mail will only be updated when I am in wifi range, right?
2. if the network is password protected, do I have to open safari to log in first? Or how does that work?
I know with an iPhone, the mail is always updated as long as you are in cell phone coverage, but not sure how this works with wifi.
thanks-

Hi Mari Dawley
1. Yes it will only update when connected to wifi.
2. To connect to a local network (protected or not) you go to preferences and select wifi, you can then turn the wifi on/off and select which network you would like to connect to. If the network is password protected it will ask you to input the password when you select it.
Hope this helps

Confused on how Airport Express works.

Hello,
I have a PC connected to a Dlink router (ethernet). The router is wireless enabled also. I have itunes installed on the PC. I want to stream from itunes to my stereo. I purchased the airport express thinking I'd plug into outlet near my stereo, the airport would join the network via my router and I'd be on my way. But when I run the assistant software from my PC it talks about my PC not being able to administer the express. Do I need a wireless card in my PC? Thanks

The AirPort Setup Assistant requires a wireless connection to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX). Try using the AirPort Admin Utility instead of the Assistant.
To set up AirTunes on the AX, temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, use the AirPort Admin Utility to check these settings:
AirPort tab
- Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
- Wireless Network: <select the existing DLink wireless network>
Music tab
- Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
- Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
- iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
- iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
- Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

Confused about how to use paint()

Hi, I have been working really hard to try to get the following program to work but I am really confused on how to use paint(). I do not have anyone to ask so I thought this forum could help. Anyways, here is my problem...
I am trying to recursively figure out the Sierpinski fractal. I cannot figure out if my math works or not because I do not know how to call the paint() recursively to draw my triangles.
Please have a look at the following code. Thank you!
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
public class DrawTriangle extends Frame {
Point a = new Point(20,480),
        b = new Point(350,40),
        c = new Point(680,480),
        halfB,
        halfC,
        halfB2,
        halfC2,
        halfC3;
int width;
public DrawTriangle() {
    super("Sierpinski Fractal");
    addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter() {
      public void windowClosing( WindowEvent we ) {
        dispose();
        System.exit( 0 );
    setBackground( Color.white );
    setSize(700, 500);
    setVisible(true);
public void paint(Graphics g, Point a, Point b, Point c) {
    width = c.x - a.x;
    if (width < 6){return;}
    g.setColor( Color.GREEN );
    g.drawPolygon( new int[] { a.x, b.x, c.x }, new int[] { a.y, b.y, c.y }, 3 );
    halfC.x = c.x/2;
    halfC.y = c.y;
    halfB.y = b.y/2;
    halfB.x = b.x;
    halfB2.y = halfB.y + a.y;
    halfB2.x = a.x;
    halfC2.x = halfC.x + a.x;
    halfC2.y = a.y;
    halfC3.x = halfC.x/2 + a.x;
    halfC3.y = halfB2.y;
    paint(g, a, halfC, halfB);
    paint(g, halfC3, halfC, halfB);
    paint(g, halfC2, halfC, halfB);
public static void main(String[] args) {
     new DrawTriangle();

thanks jsalonen, your tip let me start working on the math to correct it.
I have a new problem now. My math is correct but I am having problems with the recursion. I can draw only the top , left , or right triangles. I cannot get them all to work together. See code and comments below.
Any ideas why I cant call all three of the paint()s toegther and have them work?

Photoshop Elements 6 - paint brush took has disappeared from the tool box. How do I get it back?

Photoshop Elements 6 - paint brush took has disappeared from the tool box. How do I get it back?

Keep tapping the B key and it should reappear, or click-hold/right-click on whatever tool is currently visible right below the eraser.

Lost use of the paint brush. Can anyone tell me how to get it back?

My student can't seem to get the paint brush to work. We closed the document, didn't save, opened a new one but nothing was different. We seem to be stuck in some setting that won't allow her to paint. I deselected everything, zoomed in, changed the size of the template, nothing helped. I'd like to get her back working again in the morning if anyone can offer a suggestion. Thanks.

Paint Tool not selected? If you're looking at the set of tools on the left, tap and hold the currently-active tool at the top then swipe down to the 4th set of tools. Here, you have the Paint Tool, Effects Paint Tool and the Spray Tool. Just swipe on over to the tool you need (Paint Tool in this case) and release.

Paint brush tool doesn't work with my Wacom tablet

My new pen tablet works well except when I try to use the paint brush tool. I was using NIK Color effects pro plug in and when I select the paint brush mode it didn't work. So I just tied the paint brush tool without going thru NIK and it still didn't work with the pen tablet. There must be something I haven't set correctly but can't figure it out.
Other tools work just fine such as the patch tool, etc. Any ideas?

try reseting the paint brush and download the newest driver from Wacom

How paint method in TiledLayer work ?

It's my 1st time in forum. Does anyone has source code of Sprite, TiledLayer class or know how exactly the paint method work? I had used it in some game but not satisfied with it. I want to code my own class but i wonder it has some native or low-level code.
Sorry for my poor E !!!

perhaps you want to use a more hardware oriented approach. I can highly recommend you the Slick API. It is built on top of the LWJGL API set, which is a Java binding for OpenGL, OpenAL and provides device support such as joysticks/joypads. Slick turns the 3D part into an easy to use 2D rendering framework.

I have just downloaded Yosemite but I find that Photoshop Elements 11 does not work properly. If I use a tool like a paint brush or spot healer I cannot paint a full stroke does anyone else have this issue or know a solution?

Many thanks that does work. But it now leads to another question is this simply a trackpad issue and if so will it be fixed? I use Elements every day and was thinking I would have to go back to Mavericks.

Photoshope Elements when selecting an action, the paint brush tool doesn't work and system keeps freezing, then catching up every 30-45 seconds

I have been having this problem with elements ever since the last OS upgrade, but it wasn't all the time and it wasn't very bad. Now, I have upgraded my macbook again, and I cannot even edit a photo!! I open the photo, choose an action, say "smooth skin", then choose the paint brush, I start to "paint" over their face and it won't paint a line, I have to keep clicking it, click - it paints, move brush, click again - it paints. Plus, every time I choose a tool or an action, it freezes for about 10 seconds, then catches up to what I am doing, 30 seconds later, it freezes again. HELP!! I have 8 sessions to finish editing by this weekend!! I just want to cry!!

Try deleting the prefs and the saved application state:

The paint brushes in Photoshop CS6 are all splattering. How can I fix this problem?

Every single one of my paint brushes are acting as if they are a splatter brush. I have rebooted my PC and have closed out of the program. Once they are both back on, the problem still persists. What are my options?

Try resetting Photoshop tools and if that does not fix your problem try resetting your Photoshop preferences.

Confusion on how oracle works in SGA

i did the following
Session 1
conn user/password
exec num(2000);/* this procedure generates numbers and inserts in a table on the xxx tablespace */
Plsql procedure completed
CommitCommit complete
Session 2 /// this session is run simultaneously with session 1 using another terminal.
conn sys/<password> as sysdba
alter tablespace xxx offline normal
tablespace altered>
The problem is when the procedure is running I tried to turn the tablespace offline ..
But the tablespace gets offline and the procedure is still running . and also I have commited the trasaction when the tablespace is offline. The commit is successful. The commit should be unsuccessful bcos the tablespace is offline.
i am using oracle 10g R2 version on windows vista.
can anyone also give me any links or info on how oracle actually works when i give a DML query. like insert. or update..

but the procedure was still running when the
tablespace went offline normal.
How sure are you that the procedure was still successfully modifying the data ? It should have generated Oracle error ORA-00376: file N cannot be read at this time the moment the tablespace went off line.
Is the code short enough to post ? (If so, don't forget the "code" tags - see FAQ at top right - to get a fixed font display).
Is it not that dirty buffers are still being written
and the tablespace has gone offline!The session updating the data should fail as the tablespace status is changed, and the database writer will be triggered to write all the dirty blocks from that tablespace to file before the tablespace offline is completed.
>
Do you mean to say that there are still dirty buffers
belonging to the tablespace even after a checkpoint
and the tablespace being down!No.

PSE 5--what is a clipping mask and how does it work?

Can anyone explain what a clipping mask is, how it works, and most importantly if Photoshop Elements 5.0 has this capability?
Also, are there any tutorials out there that I can teach myself on this topic? I am trying to mimic a layout explained in digital scrapbooking magazine and this technique is used.
Thank you!
Heather

Heather,
You can find one explanation at Janee's tutorials: http://www.myjanee.com/tuts/elements/elemask.htm
Since PSE does not support layer masks per se, the clipping group simulates a layer mask and hence Janee's name for it, "elemask" (cute, huh?)
Here are 2 examples:
In this example I wanted to blur the background leaving the flower in focus:
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1euavV1sDqzrEqqqierfc5dSEH9yI01
1. Duplicate the Background layer and apply a Gaussian blur to the new layer.
2. Add an adjustment layer below the blur layer (any kind of adjustment layer will do), but do not make any adjustment - just click OK.\
3. Group the blur layer with the adjustment layer. On the adjustment layer paint the subject with black
to mask out the blur, paint with white to restore the blur.
Of course you can use other tools on the adjustment layer besides the paint brush, e.g., make a selection and fill with the black or white. In some cases it might be easier to first fill the adjustment layer with black and then paint with white.
In this example (not actually a mask but still demonstrates a clipping group) I wanted to crop the picture into a leaf shape.
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1ys9Z7FspSwF8HHKGLrxjGVhbTodmF0
1. Use the leaf from the Custom Shape tool to draw out the leaf, creating a new layer.
2. Move the leaf layer below the picture layer.
3. Group the two layers.
Note that in order to move a layer below the Background layer you have to rename the Background layer to anything else (layer 0 in my example).

Painting Brush Issue

Ok I've been painting an image in Cs4 for some time but I took a break from it for a few weeks and I just came back to it, The issue I'm having is the way my brush presets are acting towards my brushes. I was using a Charcoal Brush which when messing with the presets works similar to a real paint brush in terms of the way the bristles show. This is sort of hard to explain but I'll try. My brush when I was using it, had like a dry brush effect; you could the see individual bristles depending on how much I messed with the brush shape dynamics, it could be thick like a loaded brush or it could be thin like a dry brush whatever. Now though when I try and recreate the brush when I go to the shape dynamics its not acting the way it was before. The brush wont thin out it takes on a splatter effect when I move the scattering slider and size jitter that never happened before and I cant get it to stop. Before the way those sliders would effect the brush is it would spread out the bristles now they just add a splatter on them and I cant change it.
^^^^^ That image is the brush before I mess with the presets. Normally I'd spread out the bristles but when I try I get the effect on the image below.
I know this is a bad explanation but I really cant figure out what I'm doing wrong I've reset the brushes I don't know how many times same with the presets I've messed with the opacity and flow but nothing is working. I wonder is there anyone who has an Idea of how I can possibly fix this? It's a problem because I need that effect from the brush in order to match the rest of the painting, Any help or advice would be appreciated, and again sorry for the bad explanation.

Yea I've tried both Size Jitter adds a splatter on it so I already have it at 0 and Pen Pressure just rounds out the edges which I don't mind but neither really have to do with the effect from before. I've tried to mimic the way I had the brush before going in and erasing some. The way it's working now is the top stroke and the way I had it is the bottom. Before the strokes where more spaced out, result of messing with the presets now if I mess with the they add a splatter to them.
