Contrast brush (or tool) diameter small, even at max setting.

A few days ago during use, the contrast brush (or tool) became much smaller, even at maximum size setting. Other tools are not affected. I've rebooted several times, even had a hard crash (spinning beach ball), but after restart the problem remains. The diameter of the tool on screen is somewhat relative to file size, but on average the maximum diameter setting offers a contrast tool diameter of about 1 inch…maybe 1 ½ inches. On a 27 inch monitor, that's not much. What can I do to achieve a "reset" on the diameter of this tool?

The Brush is limited to 1,000 pixels in normal use, but when constrained is limited to 200 px. In the Brush HUD, make sure that "Detect Edges" is not checked, and that the Brush range is set to "All". (Brush range is set on the Action Menu {click the gear icon on the Brush HUD}.)
Let us know if that resolves your issue.

All my brushes are about 20% smaller than the diameter of the circle. What's happened?

Visited Genius Bar. Solution was System Preferences/Accessibility/Display and move cursor size to Normal. A couple months back I evidently saw the option of making the arrow larger and did so and did not discover the problem in Elements until later. Before I visited Genius Bar I discovered same problem with Photoshop CS6 and Pixelmator. I had also uninstalled then reinstalled Elements and knew it wasn't a bug in the software.

In CC214 PS Why has adobe removed the "print Size Button" And why have they made the Brush preview window so small you can't see the effects to accurately adjust them?

These two things need to be remedied in their upgrades because It's become such a bother I've had to revert to older versions of PS.

Yea, and it's a pain to get to. What was the rational for removing the print size button? With the magnifying glass tool selected in older versions of Photoshop you would get a button that says "print size" right next to Actual pixels, Fit Screen, Fill Screen. Now I have to go out of my way and dig for it if I want to see the print size. Of all the buttons you could have taken away, why not fill screen? I never use that.
Besides the point I just downloaded the Oct Upgrade for PS and surprise! Nothing has changed and these are two big black eyes on newer versions of Photoshop. The Brush preview window is unchanged in CC but in CC2014 it's basically worthless. If you apply a texture to a brush you can't properly see the scale of the texture, the spacing, scatter, etc...

Photoshop CC 2014 unusable due to the brushes/eraser tools freezing on a 64 bit Windows 7 PC!

Help I can't work
I'm using PS CC 2014 on a 64 bit Windows 7 PC. Photoshop is unusable due to the brushes/eraser tools freezing.
Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it, or how to revert to Photoshop CC using a Creative Cloud subscription?
If this helps, all other cc 2014 programs are running perfectly - as was the previous version of Photoshop.

When exactly does your brushes/eraser tools freeze?
Do you use any Wacom or other brand tablet? If so, have you checked for an updated driver? Disconnect Wacom and use a mouse instead and check.
Disconnect all the external devices and then retry.
Install all the PS updates. Help > Updates
Try resetting the PS CC preferences and check if it's an issue with corrupt preferences : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776
Try to open PS CC 2014 in Plugin Disabled mode and check the same. For that Press Shift+PS CC 2014 icon and hit Yes.
Restart your machine and retry.
Let me know how it goes.

Lightroom Brushes are adding a Tint, even images converted to B&W

I'm using Lightroom 4.4 on Mac.
Having an issue where all brushes and graduated filters are adding a warm yellow tint, no matter what the color settings are for the brush. The tint persists, even if I convert the image to B&W within Lightroom.

Turns out there WAS a very light color slected with the brush. I never use that feature, so I have no idea how it got selected. And the tiny little color window in the pallete is so easy to miss...
Thanks for the help.

Can you add the brush selection tool to CS4?

Elements 7 has a really cool brush selection tool. I could really use it in CS4, 'cause now I have to move my file back and forth between programs.

There's two features you should look into, quick mask and quick selection. I think you'll find quick selection to be the feature you're after.

After setting the classpath , bounced the apache.
But even after the setting , the same error continues.
I refered the mod_jserv.log file for error details , the error is in import statement of classes present in the poi-3i-200566.jar file like
could not find the symbol HSSRow , HSSpreadsheet , etc. all these are classes in jar file.
please anybody know any extra conf is needed or any idea where i am going wrong.
thanks

Hi,
Please check your jserv.properties file whether the custom class path that you have set is present or not in jserv.properties after restarting the AutoConfig and Apache server.
Thanks & Regards,

LG Cosmos 2 - volume is too loud even on lowest setting

Hi, I recently got the LG Cosmos 2 and so far I'm fairly pleased with it. The only thing that bothers me is that the volume is very loud even when I set it to the lowest setting. This applies to both the external speaker volume and the headphones volume when playing ringtones and music.
I'm just wondering if this is normal and if there is something I can do to lower it down even further.

I found a great solution this afternoon, but this will be of use only for ringtones that you've added to the phone because unfortunately most of the time the phone's own ringtones are locked due to either Verizon's rules and/or the rules of the phone manufacturer.
One of the ways of adjusting the volume is a program called Replay Gain. Perhaps analogous to the many versions of Linux, other software writers have implemented Replay Gain in different ways. Each implementation has differing advantages and disadvantages.
My interpretation is that these versions fall under one of two categories:
In the first category, the program writes the information about the volume change to either an APE tag or an ID3 tag, and the music player reads the information in the tag to determine what volume to use. The disadvantage is that this is not a universal solution because the music player used needs to be able to recognize these tags; otherwise, that tag information means nothing to that music player and the volume will be played at its original level.
The program I used today called MP3Gain falls in the second category. Programs in this second category alter the audio file, BUT they don't alter the audio in any way other than its volume; to keep this post shorter, see the next post for greater detail about this alteration. MP3Gain in addition writes information about the volume change and about what the original volume was in an APE tag if you wish to use MP3Gain to undo the volume change. If I did a poor job of summarizing that, there is a lot of great information out there about MP3Gain if you do a google search.
I downloaded MP3Gain from here (link). While some of the various implementations of Replay Gain can be used on more than one audio format, MP3Gain can be used only on MP3 files.
step 1:
add the mp3 ringtones to MP3Gain and click the button "Track Analysis". The information that's important to us for our use is the number that is now in the column "Volume" which is a measurement in db. If the button says "Album Analysis", click the down arrow next to it and select "Track Analysis"
step 2:
At the top where you see "Target 'Normal' Volume", enter the volume that you want the mp3 ringtone changed to. Personally, a value of 91 puts me in the ballpark. If that's not low enough or not high enough, then you can just repeat these steps and apply a different value.
step 3:
Click the button "Track Gain" since I want my several mp3 ringtones to have an identical volume. If the button says "Album Gain" or "Constant Gain", click the down arrow next to it to select "Track Gain". MP3Gain's help file has excellent information about the difference between "Track Gain" and "Album Gain". I don't understand yet what "Constant Gain" is.
Step 4:
You're done.
I've read that older music players would not ignore the APE tag and would instead get confused by the presence of the APE tag and interpret it as audible noise. Our two models of Verizon non-smartphones don't seem to have any problems with the tags being left in. If by an unlikely chance either your phone or your music player plays the mp3 file with noise that wasn't there before, then you can turn off the use of the APE tag by choosing "Options" --> "Tags" --> "Ignore (do not read or write tags)". After turning this off you can still restore the volume to its original value if you had made a note of the original value when you clicked the "Track Analysis" button. Or just keep an unaltered backup copy of the mp3 ringtone.

IDOC status 30 even if I set transfer IDoc immediately in we20

Hi All,
I am creating Bommat IDocs using 'MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE' .I am getting the 30 status instead of getting status 3.
Even if I set transfer IDoc immediately in we20.
Please let me know how to resolve this.
Thanks,
Vinay.

Hi Vinay parakala
Schedule back ground job to program RSEOUT00 regularly to process the 30 status idoc....
Your program generates the idoc ... and RSEOUT00 will process you idocs which are in 30 status...
i hope above info helps you
Note: enter Message type BOMMAT in program RSEOUT00
Thanks

I can not log in to my account even after re-setting my password and id. Same thing on my iphone.

My iphone will sync but apps do not open. I can not log into my account through my phone or my mac book even after re-setting it. Very frustrated right now. Also, even though there are new versions for both my phone and itunes, neither will update.

Go to the log in page, but select '''''I FORGOT MY PASSWORD'''''.

A small wrapper script for setting the lib32-gtk environment.

Hi all,
i've created a small script [1], which sets the gtk2 environment for
lib32 applications.
Thanks to buttons and alexwizard...
just put run_bin32_gtk before the app command.
I use this script for QT4 apps mostly, for instance:
run_bin32_gtk opera
or
run_bin32_gtk skype --disable-cleanlooks
so it fits best in my gnome environment...
best wishes

I did something similar a couple of months ago, but instead of attempting to be clever and guessing what the background image is supposed to be, I just write it in the filename. Since some pictures just end up being too bright (or whatever) when used as a background to a urxvt terminal, I added some extra parameters for setting gamma, brightness, tint and the direction the image should be rendered. It relies on hsetroot for actually rendering the picture.
#!/usr/bin/python
# set-background
import sys, os, string, re
patterns = [ (re.compile("t-([a-f\d]+)"), lambda x: "-tint \#" + x)
, (re.compile("b-([\d]+)"), lambda x: "-brightness -0." + x)
, (re.compile("g-([\d]+)"), lambda x: "-gamma "+ x)
, (re.compile("f-(v|h|d)"), lambda x: "-flip" + x)
def buildCommand(file):
output = ["hsetroot"]
output.append("-" + (string.split(file,".")[-2]))
output.append(file)
for token in string.split(file,".")[1:-2]:
for (pat,f) in patterns:
if pat.match(token):
output.append( f(pat.findall(token)[0]))
return string.join(output)
print buildCommand(img)
os.system(buildCommand(img))
# vim:set et:
So for instance, an image with the name background.t-704214.f-v.full.jpg would be rendered as a stretched image, flipped vertically with a sepia tint. The files are required to be in the following format NAME.(MODIFIER.)*TYPE.SUFFIX, where the the order and number of modifiers are unimportant. The gamma values are somewhat unintuitive, but I guess you'll just have to play around with it to get it right.
And to randomize the whole thing, I just used the following script in my .xinitrc to randomly pick a image from a folder.
#!/bin/bash
bg_folder="$HOME/.backgrounds";
pics=($(ls $bg_folder))
let "n = $RANDOM % ${#pics[@]}"
(cd $bg_folder; set-background ${pics[$n]})

Why does TextEdit revert to Helvetica 12 even after you set a new default font whenever you drop an image into an RTFD?

Anyone know a workaround for when TextEdit reverts to Helvetica 12 even after you set the new default to say Verdana 14 every time your drop an image into an RTFD? Kind of defeats the purpose! Is there a way around this? THANKS!

Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.
