Cropping tool does not function properly in Photoshop CS3

Cropping tool does not function properly in Photoshop CS3. Always crops to .004" x .004". Tried reinstall with no luck. Any fixes out there?

Reset the tool by right-clicking on the crop tool drop-down/fly-out menu in the top options bar (big crop tool icon above the tools panel, when the crop tool is selected). Be sure to check there aren't values in the crop tool by hitting the clear button in the options bar.

Localized brush tool does not function in 2.1

Greetings All,
This may have been discussed previously, but I have just registered on the Forum, and I opted not to search every topic.
The Adjustment Brush in version 2.1 still does not function properly on my computer. I cannot see the mask, and the tool takes forever to register a change. For example, I will try to paint in an adjustment--nothing will happen, and I try something else. Several minutes later, the first adjustment may register. This extremely long delay--and not all the adjustments I attempt even register with the system--makes it all but impossible to use.
I love Lightroom. The adjustment brush would be a great feature--it's probably the single reason why I upgraded to 2.0. However, the bugs have still not been fixed.
FYI, my computer runs XP on dual 3.19GHz processors with 4 Gigs of RAM.
Hoping Adobe will fix this,
Jim

Richard,
Thanks for the "O" tip. It makes the mask visible. Unfortunately it still does not make the tool work correctly. Maybe with the next update . . .
Jim
Chris,
Thanks for the tip on the nvidia cards. Unfortunately, I do not have an nvidia card. I actually tried to upgrade to an nvidia card. Called them, called Dell. Everybody said it would work. Card arrives and it's twice the size of the available slot. Ah well . . .

The APP application on my iPad does not function properly - any downloads requested immediately fail and send me back tot he main iPad screen. Any suggestions on to hoe to fix this? The software has been updated to iOS 5.1.1, and no furthe updates are available.

This is my boilerplate response when app downloads are stalled or in the "waiting" mode. There are a bunch of things here to try.
Tap on the "installing" icon and see if you can pause the install, then tap on it again in order to resume the install.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download and install at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and see if the install resumes.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

In my newly purchased MacBook Air, Dropbox does not function properly. It asks for Mac OS Password for my computer which I do not have.

In my newly purchased MacBook Air, Dropbox does not function properly (it shows MS Word, Excell and Power Point docs but not pictures). It asks for Mac OS Password for my computer which I do not have. How should I get this password ?

If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know that account password, the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.

Crop Tool does not snap reliably

Still getting used to Photoshop CS5.1. I am having problems with the crop tool. It is supposed to snap to my guides, but it is very haphazard about this. Sometimes it is a pixel or 2 off on one or more edges. This means I have to pay very close attention while cropping, and double check the accuracy of results. This slows me way down. I do mostly web graphics, where pixel accurate crops are essential. I already tried resetting the crop tool. I am using a Mac Pro, early 2008, with 10 GB RAM, and Mountain Lion 10.8.1.

I think the the Crop Tool always snaps to pixels while it is initially dragged to size. If a guide is not precisely on a pixel boundary then the Crop Tool will not initially snap exactly to the guide - it should snap to the next outward pixel boundary.
After the initial dragging out of the crop box, slightly drag each of its sides away from the guide and back to the guide for a correct snap to the guide.
If your guides are supposed to be on pixel boundaries then the problem may be that they are a tiny bit off and so the Crop Tool is snapping to the next pixel boundary outwards. To ensure guides snap to pixels, set the ruler to pixels and hold down Shift while dragging a guide to make it snap to ruler divisions (regardless of the rulers actually being visible or not).

Since installing Lion, I have not been able to utilize Time Machine (does not recognize the back-up drive); my wireless mouse does not function properly; I have experienced unreasonable delays in the system. Is there a fix or upgrade coming?

Is there a fix or upgrade to deal with the many problems I am experiencing since I installed Lion? I can no longer utilize Time Machine (Does not see the back-up drive); my wireless mouse does not work properly; my iMac has slowed down considerably. I am reminded of having a PC machine again. Bummer!

Either downgrade to Snow Leopard or try reinstalling Lion.
Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

Crop tool does not show ratios

When I click the crop tool or press "c" I do not get the ratio options, only free hand cropping. It worked as I installed Photoshop/Bridge/Camera Raw but it just stopped. What can I do? I have CS5 and I use Windows. Thanks from Magnus

I am having the same problem. The crop menu doesn't show drop down menu's. I am running the 64 bit version of
photoshop CS5 and I don't know if maybe it is a compatiblity issue? Any help to get the drop down menus to appear?

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium does not function properly since 10.10.4

Problem #1.Since upgrading to 10.10.4 I have developed a very annoying problem. The printer will only print one time with the 2-sided option. After it prints if you look in the system preferences the option setting for 2-sided printing is no longer selected. If you once again select it, it will again only print one time before this error repeats itself.Problem #2.I keep 8.5" x 11" paper in both trays. But I cannot get the printer to take paper from the other tray when one runs out. It does not seem to matter which tray I select as the default tray.

Hi , I see that you are having issues printing two-sided and the paper isn't feeding from the second tray when the first tray is empty. I would like to help you.

Pattern file does not function properly in Adobe illustrator CS5

So I learned Adobe Illustrator CS5 (Say 10%). I have these two files which I downloaded from the net. They are patterns files for animals skins.
The first file is named "Animals_skins.ai" and is taken from htthttp://www.adobe.com/uk/web/tips/ill10qtpatt/p:// and can be downloaded from the same page ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/magic/special/illustrator/win/pattern.zip and has 10 Animal Skins patterns. When I
Open the file directly in Adobe Illustrator CS5, I get the contents of the file as well as they are added directly to the "Swatches Panel" on the left. When I hover over the individual boxes/Thumbnails/rectangles in the Swatches Panel with the mouse, I get the titles like "Jagur" or "Tiger" telling me the name of the patterns.
The same is the Case when I load the file using the "Open Swatch Libary" > "Other Libary" and browse to the file and open it. Works perfectly. I can apply the patterns to any shapes and it works like a charm.
The Second file is named "skins.ai" and is taken from http://www.vectoropenstock.com/4416-Animal-Skin-Patterns-vector and can be dowloaded from the same page http://www.vectoropenstock.com/descargar.php?id_vect=4416 and has 35 Skins Patterns. When I
Open the file directly in Adobe Illustartor CS5, I get the contents of the file showing me the patterns. However they are not added to the "Swatches Panel" directly as the first file does. Insted I get some other colors in the swacthes panel and when I hover over the individual boxes/Thumbnails/rectangles in the Swacthes Panel with the mose, I DON'T get the titles.
The same is the case when I load the file using the "Open Swatch Libary" > "Other Libary" and brose to the file and open it. Does not work. I CAN't apply the patterns to any sahpes. Even If I select the patterns from the main windows by clicking, selecting and draging to the swatches panle and add there. When I apply the same to any shape it applies them but it's all messed up and lines appear around the single/individual pattern if the shape to which it is being applied is big enough.
Can't figure it out that why the first file works and the second files does not. I am new to Illustartor (How many times you have heard that?) and any solution would greatly aid me in my learning process. I need the patterns for a logo design.
I have another 3rd file which has Cow Patterns and it behaves exactly the same way as the second file. Opening it shows me the pattern in the main window but it does not get added to the swatches panle either by adding it using the mouse or opening it using the browse libary method.
Thanks in Advance

you have to read the tutorial in the same page you downloaded the swatches from. It tells you exactly how to make the tiles match.

Graphing for an AI DAQmz does not function properly.

I have a VI in which I am running both AO and AI simultaneously. They are running simultaneously, the only problem is my AI graph does not show a continuous waveform, it shows spaced out dots. I thought maybe if I changed my AI to continuous rather than N samples that may solve the problem but I get an error that says I have overwritten the data. Then if I try increasing the number of samples, it still graphs the same thing. Does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this problem? I appreciate any help that you could give. I have attached my VI for reference.

Are you using this for Electrophoretic Seperation. You may want to use the traditional method of reading Anolog input. Because I found that the new DAC assistant hates working with them. Anyways I hope the file I attached helps you out. Its yours but modified using older method. You could always do this the other way. If timing is and issue then add the error outs of the anolog out to the stuff I added this will make sure everything goes in order

LR2 does not load images in Photoshop CS3

When I select an image in LR2,than choose "Edit in Photoshop CS3",Photoshop does load,but after that an "Open" dialog box appears,instead of the selected image.Same with "Open as a Smart Object".
Also in LR2,Develope Modul,Camera Profiles I don't see "ACR 4.5",although I did this update.
What I tried:reinstall LR2.Did not work.Reinstall PSCS3 with all updates.
Didn't work either.
My OS system is a Windows XP Professional Edition,SP3.
Please help with a solution for this problem.
Thanks,
Peter

Dear Paul,
Thank you,but it doesn't really work.
I mean,if you saw Scott Kelby's tutorial about Photoshop Integration at http://www.photoshopuser.com/lightroom2/,he opened a raw file as a smart object from LR2 in Photoshop,without making any copy (tiff) of the image.When I try the same,an "Open As" dialog box pops up in Photoshop,wich means I have to search through the folders to "tell" Photoshop wich image I want to open as a smart object.I tried it with tiff and jpeg,but same thing happenned.
The "workaround" way you suggested creates a copy,plus I have to convert the image into a smart object,instead of having LR2 doing it.
So the "Open as a smart object" and the "Edit in Photoshop CS3" commands in LR2 are just pointless this way.
Thanks anyway,
Peter

Ever since I downloaded Mavericks my HP Scan does not function properly when I launch it from the "tool bar" at the bottom of the screen.

After I scan a document and try to email or save it, I get an error message that the document may be a read only. At that point HP Scan hangs and I have to force quit. I can scan fine from Systems Prefernce, but that is not as convenient.
Thanks

Try:
Uninstall HP Scan and any other HP applications (the drivers are OK, though)
Use Image Capture instead

IPod connected, however, it does not function properly

The iPod I have is the 60gb. I have had problems with my iPod previously since the 2006-3-23 update but fixed it.
-Delete all files manually from iPod
-Uninstall iTunes, iPod, and all applications associated with the programs within the installation
-Delete files manually within the specified drives
-Reset iPod
-Reinstall everything
Upon fixing my iPod, the updater 2006-1-10 was running without my knowing and I happened to disconnect it and now, it fails to interface properly with my Laptop. The iPod itself works. The menus function and I can still reset it.
The problem I have is that upon connecting my iPod to my computer, my computer slows down and when clicking on 'My Computer,' and clicking on my iPod icon, it freezes and the iPod itself is inaccessible. Whenever I click on the icon, the 'busy' icon appears then the whole window freezes forcing me to Ctrl Alt Del, as that is the only way to exit out of the window.
I have tried erasing all the files from my computer several times and reinstalling along with system restores but to no avail. The contents within the iPod itself are simply inaccessible by PC and the Updater 2006-1-10 fails to recognize my iPod and simply freezes. Resetting iPod via Hold button + Menu + Select button/Menu + Play Button = ineffective as well.
Any suggestions?

I think the solution is fairly simple:
First, turn off MobileMe.
If you have any iCal events on your iPhone or iPad, enter them into iCal on your Mac.
If you have duplicate calendars on iCal, delete them (be sure to check that you're deleting the right one (click on each copy of the category - e.g., Home, Work, etc. - to make sure that you don't delete the main one you're going to use to sync later). If, say, some events appear in one "Work" calendar and not in the main "Work" calendar, then enter those events into the main "Work" calendar. It's easy to figure this out. Just turn off each "Work" calendar and you'll see which events disappear. If no events disappear when you deselect a calendar, you're safe to delete that calendar.
Once you have all your events entered on each calendar category, sync your iPhone or iPad with iTunes. Be sure to check "Calendars" under "Replace all information on this iPhone" under the "Info" tab.
The sync should put one copy of each calendar on the iPhone and all your events will appear (only one of each).
I haven't tried to use MobileMe to sync iCal events to other devices. All my problems seemed to start when I tried to sync with MobileMe. I think it's useless.

Pdf form created in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended does not function properly when viewed by Reader

Hello all-
I have created a form in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and have an issue because when others view the form in Adobe Reader some of the functions do not work- such as the attach a file button I created, or the save, print buttons (all are execute a menu item). These work on my Acrobat 9 Pro Extended but not on Reader.
I have tried saving many different versions- with security (password) and made sure to allow printing and commenting, editing, digital signatures etc...
Without any security...
Even tried extending features in Adobe Reader!
The response from others is that it all works, except the ATTACH A FILE button- when they click on it it compresses, but, nothing happens!
I don't know what else to do! (I guess people could just attach things to the e-mail that is generated from the submit button, but worried people might forget at that step once they are past that section on the form and they jump to email to submit).
Help please!
A.

I've already extended the rights and made sure to save to activate that... as well as password protected the docs etc... still nothing...
I am aware that those with Basic Adobe Reader need rights extended to be able to use functions available to Adobe Pro.

My page on msn does not function properly. ie: No emails listed no movies listed can not change my page as everything is frozen

can I just get 3.6 back

The funniest part of the whole situation, Apple Care explained it to me as some kind of feature. The told me how to adjust the time when my computer sleeps and recommend I don't shut it down, let it sleep and "instant wake". I would bet if you called them about your Macbook, they would suggest you just close the lid and let it sleep rather than shutting it down.
Basically shutdown and restart have a problem and the solution is to not shutdown is how they explained it to me. They kept saying buzz words like "instant on" and "fast wakeup". My computer already could sleep and wakeup fast, but now shutdown and restart don't work right. I called them 3 times about it, but since they use these buzzwords, sounds like Lion is meant for a Macbook Air or a Mac with an SSD. If you have a normal hard disk, some of the saving/versions/resume features take too long to be written to the disk on shutdown. And when you start again, it takes a long time to reload the system to it's previous point.
Even if I uncheck the box to reopen windows on next start, it reopens them anyways.
If they can't give me a better explaination or some kind of fix, I will have to go back to Snow Leopard. I use my Mac in a production environment and depend on stability. They assured me before I upgraded that it would be stable and all the new saving and versions features could help my productivity. So far it's not helping me and downright annoying. You need to close all your windows before you close the program... if you have 5 windows open in terminal or textedit... every time you launch, they will launch all those windows. I just really want versions, not resume it seems.
But I can deal with it opening a million windows, just can't take it getting stuck on booting or not shutting down properly. This is a "feature" that should be fixed. LOL
