CS2 Eye dropper and clone tool not picking up correct colour from image.

Hello everyone, Can anyone help me please. I have an iMac with 0SX 10.4.4.
Plenty of Ram and hard drive space. In using CS2 the eyedropper and clone tools will not pick up the exact same colour from the image that I require. It is always lighter in shade and has on occasion been white. Any help in solving this problem will be much appreciated.
Yours in anticipation, Geoff Walter.

>The eyedropper is picking-up the color as rendered in RGB on your Monitor...
Really? Not from the pixels in the file? So the same pixels are reported with different values depending on monitor setup? This is about how the eyedropper reports pixel values, not about how they are rendered to the screen, is that correct?
Just to be sure here, this is so even with the eyedropper set to point sample?
Al
Edit: Or do you mean that this is a known problem with 0SX 10.4.4. and Photoshop, in which the values are picked up from the monitor and not from the file data?

  • Lift and Stamp tool not working so well? White images!?

    Here's a strange issue.
    I worked on an image yesterday. Today, I want to copy the adjustments to another image in the same project. When I use the Lift and Stamp tool to copy the adjustments, the new image turns completely white. Even though I checked the adjustments and they look the same as the original one, the new image is all white.
    Now the strange thing is when I adjusted another image today then used the Lift and Stamp tool, the adjustments copied over fine.
    The only thing I can see which is different from the image I adjusted yesterday is that I had Aperture send that image to CS4 and I edited a TIFF which I stacked back with the original file.
    I'll try to make a screencast available so you can see what's going on.
    Looks like Apple's going to need to update Aperture 3 before it really comes out.

    Thanks for your effort. I am stunned. Would be edifying to know what is happening! I thought it might be okay as I sometimes turn my image black after applying some change, but the black is only a temporary display problem as the image is correct the next time I go to use it; perhaps in my situation Aperture was busy generating new previews for presentation of the changes. Your white is certainly a different issue. Glad it's only an isolated incident and not happening for you on the other images.

  • CS4 Clone Tool NOT Multithreading and CS4 Slow on i7 965 Processor

    I noticed for the first time that the new clone tool in CS4 is not using all of my processors on my new i7 965XE processor. In fact it uses only one processor and this makes it run incredibly slow. I have also noticed that CS4 in general is rather sluggish on this hardware which is supposedly one of the most powerful processors available. I am running the i7 965XE with 8GB of Ram and still find Photoshop rather slow. I would expect it to be super snappy on this hardware, perhaps I need to optimise settings somehow, does anyone have any suggestions or is CS4 not equipped to properly address the i7 processors yet???
    Any help appreciated.
    My version of CS4 is 11.0

    Mike, could you take a moment to reread your original post?
    "CS4 Clone Tool NOT Multithreading"
    "In fact it uses only one processor and this makes it run incredibly slow."
    Those are not observations and represent two direct conclusions, both of which are incorrect. The first conclusion is that the clone tool is not threaded for multiple processors (it is). The second conclusion is that the lack of threading is what makes the clone tool run slow on your system (almost certainly not the case).
    Implied in your statements is a third conclusion: that using more processors makes things faster (rarely true). That is a common enough fallacy that I felt the need to offer a more detailed explanation to help you and other readers understand more about the issues involved. I tried to keep that explanation short and simple.
    I gave you an alternate hypothesis (small clone area) that could have explained your observation, since you didn't provide enough details for us to rule that out.
    I also gave you more information about what is going on under the hood to help you understand why you observed what you did on processor usage.
    Then I pointed you to existing topics that offer a much more likely explanation for the slowdown you are seeing.
    If you had described with the clone tool slowdown without the incorrect conclusions and without phrasing most of your post as accusations, you probably would have gotten useful help from other users more quickly. Even my first instinct was to ignore your post, but it sounded like you were confused, a bit angry, and needed some help.
    I am sorry you read things into my post that I did not intend. I'm simply trying to help you understand what you observed, and find a solution to the problem you described.

  • PO not picking up the Price from Info Record ???

    Hi,
    Pricing Procedure and the Schema Grp is defined in Schema Determination in SPRO.
    Schema Grp has been assigned in the Vendor Master.
    Price has been maintained in the PB00 condition type in the Condition Supplements screen, but shows 'Zero' in the 'Purchasing Org. Data 1' screen of Info Record.
    However, while creating PO the system does not pick up the Price from the Info Record and both the Condition Types PB00 and PBXX appears and display the Amount as 0.00 ? Also the system does not take the value entered in the 'Net Price' field and the Price can only be entered manually in the Conditon Type in the Conditions Tab ?
    Can anyone help in resolving this issue ?
    Lucky.

    Hi Lucky
    1.Routine 6
    This is an example of a pricing requirement.  This requirement is met if the condition exclusion indicator is not equal to 'X'.  <b>This requirement can be assigned to a condition type in the pricing procedure to ensure that it is not accessed when a condition record with exclusion indicator 'X' has already been found</b>.  Condition exclusion is a general tool that can be used to exclude conditions from pricing based on previous conditions that have been found in the pricing procedure.  This requirement is intended for use in MM pricing versus SD pricing.  For SD pricing, a variation of requirement '2' should be used which would also check to see if the item category is relevant for pricing
    2. You have define all your supplementory condition in supplementory pricing procedure and you have to assign this supplementory procedure to your Condition type PB00.Then all these conditions will be displayed at item level for selection in drop down.
    Since the supplementory conditions are dependent on PB00, you have assign to the PB00.
    If you maintain the values for these conditions in info record, these values will be copied from info to PO.
    Regards

    You have entirely too little free space on the boot drive, for best performance it's best to have hard drives only 50% filled max and never more than 80% filled.
    See Storage Drive here and reduce some space also make a seperate bootable clone backup of all your data BEFORE upgrading
    Most commonly used backup methods
    see here for how to find your disk space
    Why is my computer slow?
    If you upgrade and it doesn't go right or slows the machine down you might need to erase and install, which all your programs will have to be reinstalled from original sources and files from backup.
    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    If you can't do this, then hire a local PC/Mac specialist.
    Do not upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 on that older machine, it will slow down and you will lose all your PPC based programs.
    Leave the Lions for a brand new machine with a SSD drive.

  • JDBC sender channel running but not picking up the data from sp

    Hi,
    One of the jdbc sender channels in production is running at its schedule time but it is not picking up the data from the sql side, we have checked with the sp side and they are saying that sp is running fine. No changes have been done in its configuration. Last message coming in RWB  is Retry interval started but that is of 1 day and its already been 3 days. I tried by starting and stopping the channel but of no use. The channel was re activated but that also didn't help.
    Please help, what can be the reason for the same.
    thanks.

    Hi,
    The JDBCadapter ( The respective channel) is definitely locked in PI . Ideally for each polling interval a lock is being created and once the processing is over , the lock should be released/deleted automatically to allow further polling interval. If the lock is not released by the system automatically,further polling will not happen as expected. ( This may affect all sender JDBC adapters as well. I would recommend to do a check in all sender JDBC communication channels)
    You can see/delete the locks in Visual admin.
    Go to Server>Services->Locking adapter and click refresh
    The entries for JDBC adapter ( with name $XIDBAD.JDBC2XI) should be deleted by selecting those particilar entries and click delete selected locks.
    If you have more than one node, then same should be done in all server nodes.
    The temprory solution would be creating/copy the existing channel in ID with same properties and assign it into particular sender agreement.
    But, the lock may be created again which potentailly stops all your database interfaces. Hence i would suggest to use Disconnect From Database After processing of Each messages in Advanced tab in the sender JDBC adapter.
    Hope this solves your issue.
    PS: The same bahaviour would expected for all file adapter as well

  • Stamp tool not generating the same colour as the sample area I select.

  • Service entry Sheet does not pick any Condition charges From Service PO

    Hi All
    Service entry Sheet does not pick any Condition charges From Service PO. What could be the reason ?

    HI,
    Please check Sap note 381030
    Along with other thing It says
    "Delivery costs are generally not supported in external services management and in case
    of blanket purchase orders, item category D or B. Instead of representing delivery
    costs via conditions, in case of service documents, freight costs and other, SAP
    recommends to add in additional service lines."
    So that is the reason you are not getting those account entry in the time of service entry sheet
    Use another service line with text ( or service master) for the additional costs as suggested by SAP
    Hope it clarifies

  • Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my Canon Mark III 5D Camera.

    Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my new Canon Mark III 5D Camera.  How can I get my files open to view and edit?  I am using LR3, Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3.  Do I need to upgrade these programs or is there another way to get these programs to recognize my files?
    When I try opening the raw images in Lightroom, the thumbnails say "Preview unavailable for this file"  ... when I click "import" an error message pops up that says "The files are from a camera which is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom."
    When I try opening the raw images in Photoshop, an error message pops up saying "could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
    When I try opening the raw images in Bridge, it just shows an icon with the file name and CR2.
    Please help!!!

    Unless I missed an announcement, today, LR6 isn't available, yet, right?  Only Adobe employees and beta testers would know what LR6 does differently at this point and they're all sworn to secrecy.
    LR5 is available as a standalone version.
    PS-CS6 is available as a serial-number-licensed version.
    PS-CC + LR5 are also available as a Photography Plan subscription for $10/month with a minimum OS versions of OSX 10.7 (and probably 10.8, soon) and Windows 7.
    Bridge is part of PS, not a separate program.
    LR5 standalone and LR+PS-CC plan are both available on this page:  http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html
    PS-CS6 can be found on this page:  Creative Suite 6 which can be found by searching www.adobe.com for Photoshop CS6 and clicking the Buy link in the on-the-fly search results.
    As with any new Adobe software, it might be wise to run it in trial mode for a few days/weeks to see if it works well with your computer, before purchasing and finding out you might need a new computer, first.
