Cs4 urgent - gaussian blur have different visualization on same object

Continuing the before post. As i have write before i have copied and pasted an object from one document to another but the gaussian blur effect are visualized in different way, as the image. Why this?

Thank you, i have find where to set this parameter.
I have another question. I'm designing a graphic library for display on touchscreen, is better if i use resolution 72ppi or 300ppi for the raster effects resolution?

Gaussian Blur is different when Scaling

Hi Guys,
I have a problem when I scaled one object which has Gaussian Blur effect. Before it is scaled it looks smooth and nice (1st image), however when it is scaled to larger size, the Gaussian Blur does not look the same (2nd image). Please refer to my screen shots for better understanding. Any help and tip is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

David,
Just managing to collect my wits (easier here an hour after midnight).
The Gaussian Blur is fundamentally a Photoshop effect and therefore fails to answer to the Scale Strokes & Effects.
You will need to increase the value as suggested, or you may turn the object into a Symbol before scaling, and then it should behave as you wish.

In order to share music and apps but not calls and messages, should two iphones have different or the same apple id?

My sister started an itunes account when we were younger and she first got an ipod. Later I got an ipod touch, so we thought it was smarter that I use the same account so we can share apps and music. Since then my sister has gotten an iphone, my mom has gotten an ipad, and i have kept my ipod, with all of our devices on the same account. Now I got an iphone, and im wondering if i should keep the same account or if now is a great time to get a new one. Im not sure if you can have both iphones on one account without confusion with messages and whatnot, and likewise im not sure if you can have two accounts with shared purchases. Any advice?

Gaussian Blur in Photoshop CS5 Corrupting files

We just got brand new systems at work less than a month ago and this event has happened twice since then. When using Photoshop CS5 Extended and using Gaussian blur the file becomes blocky and all layers as well as their masks become corrupted with these blocks. Can anyone help or is there any advice?
Here are my system specs...

I'm getting this same issue - or a similar one. It seems to only happen when I run the Gaussian blur command, and during the same process in my workflow. It also seems for me to happen when I have made a selection from a layer above that is a smart object.
Let me describe the scenario that I have experienced a couple times in the past week. (BTW I just upgraded to CS5 only a couple weeks ago).
Usually I have a document open with dozens or hundreds of layers. The effect that I am executing when this seems to happen is where I have a group of shapes or placed image smart object layer and I'm creating a shadow layer by making a blank layer below said group or image, making a selection from the above group or image, and then filling the selection in the blank layer with a color - which I then run the Gaussian blur filter on, and afterward warp transform to get my realistic looking shadow effect.
But the problem is in seemingly random instances and on seemingly random documents when I run that Gaussian blur, Photoshop freaks out and craps the bed. And by craps the bed I mean deletes pixel data from multiple layers in my document very randomly, and also generates odd bright colors all throughout the document.
You can see the initial freak out in this screen shot from when I just initially selected the Gaussian blur filter from the menu (but had not yet even clicked "OK"): http://cl.ly/3KTx . The strange thing is that I had just run this series of steps on the above layer which in the screen shot you'll see as "Layer 44", and all was well.
Here's a screen shot showing the file after I closed it out, restarted Photoshop, and opened the file back up: http://cl.ly/3K2C . In case you can't tell, data from several layers all over the file is missing and corrupted.
I'm sure I don't have to explain how exasperating this is, as this represents more than a year's worth of work on a client project, no joke. Fortunately I'm mostly done with the actual site build, but that makes the loss of the artwork files of no less consquence - especially seeing as how I'm not ACTUALLY finished and I did in fact need all of that data to complete the project.
Anyhow, some additional details which may or may not be related to the issue:
- The issue seems to happen randomly. As stated above the same steps did not produce the error just a few minutes before.
- I have had this issue with another file this week where I was doing the same processes on another shape.
- It seems that this is occuring when I make the selection from a layer that is a smart object of some type
- I also noticed artifacts in the weird colors (after I tried running the processes again, so not in the above screenshot) that were actually design elements from an entirely different document that I was working with earlier this evening.
- I have filed a bug report.
Dunno what else to describe, but I hope you guys can get this figured out, seriously. I paid way too much for my upgrade to CS5 to have bugs in key software features corrupt my files thank you.

Resize Smart Object keeping Gaussian blur aspect?

Is there any way (that I'm missing)to resize a smart object wich has a smart gaussian blur filter while keeping the same aspect and without rasterizing it first?
Lets say I'm using a background for a product that needs to be out of focus: ussualy I would convert that background image (a not too large JPG in most casses) to a smart object and then apply a (smart) gaussian blur in case it needs to be further or less focused down the road.
Latter when Image is finished and if for some reason (usualy client complaining about image size) I need to resize the document the settings for blur remain the same causing it to be a lot more unfocused in that new smaller size than the original image size.
Is there any workaround (to keep it editable) that I'm missing?
Ty for any help.

I never really thought of that but makes perfect sense.. ty,sometimes you just need a fresh look into things,now you have mentioned it looks perfectly natural,dont know how I didnt thought of that.big thanks.

Accesing same object from different servlets

Hello all!
I am developing a web control project. I am using a simulator of a factory (with java). The engineers are supposed to be able to change some variables from the web.
I am using servlets to change this variables. My problem is that, to be able to change variables, I need to create an instance of this FactorySimulator object.
If each servlet ( there are many servlets) calls an instance, they will be updating different FactorySimulator objects.
How can I make reference, or have acces to the SAME object, from any servlet?
Thanks! I hope my question is clear =)

package com.yourcompany.somepackage;
public class TheFactory
    private static FactorySimulator factory = new FactorySimulator();
    private TheFactory() {} // Static methods only, do not instantiate TheFactory
    public FactorySimulator instance()
        return factory;
}From each of your servlets you can call TheFactory.instance().doWhataver(). Methods in FactorySimulator need to be suitably synchronized of course.

Can we have multiple transports for the same object.

Hi guys,
Can we have multiple transports for same object in dev system. Can anyone tell me how can this be done.
Thanks

Its not possible for the same development object. Only 1 person can access an object at a time and if mutiple users modify an object new TASKs are created under the same TRANSPORT.
Only after releasing the tr you can create a new tr on the same object.

Gaussian Blur displays smaller in CS4

I'm using Mac OSX and have just upgraded to CS4, from Illustrator 10. Our house style is a gaussian blur of 10 pixels, but it doesn't display correctly in CS4 - it's much thinner. I've had this problem before and just exported from CS4 then created the blur in Illustrator 10. On Wednesday last week I tried CS4 again and the blurs displayed at the correct size, then on Friday afternoon (I had used the blur tool successfully in the morning) it started making the blurs too thin again.
It's set to 100% on all the different projects with 10 pixel blur, so why are my gaussian blurs thinner in some and not others in CS4, but all the correct width in Illustrator 10?
This is really frustrating as it would be such a waste of money not to be able to use CS4, and have to go back to Illustrator 10.

Thank you so much! I didn't even know it displayed rasterised effects in different resolutions. I checked Illustrator 10, which was set to 72 dpi and changed it on CS4 so now my blurs are all the right size.
You have no idea how grateful I am. Thank you!

I'm trying to isolate skin with a secondary layer and am successful. I want to blur the skin to reduce blemishes but when doing so the blur and degrain sliders don't seem to have an effect. Can I apply a gaussian blur fx on just that secondary? Can't see

I'm trying to isolate skin with a secondary layer and am successful. I want to blur the skin to reduce blemishes but when doing so the blur and degrain sliders don't seem to have an effect. Can I apply a gaussian blur fx on just that secondary? Can't seem to figure this out. Is there a better way to smooth skin?

Here's an Adobe help page for isolating skin with suggestion on the use of the blur slider also:
https://helpx.adobe.com/speedgrade/using/apply-secondary-color-corrections.html
And here's one of the original creators of Iridas/SpeedGrade, Patrick Palmer, a six minute vid-tut on using secondaries (specifically in CS6 but this hasn't changed):
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-speedgrade-cs6/secondary-color-correction-in-speedgrade-cs 6/
I'd note, the "blur" and "denoise" tools on the Secondary tab are more about smoothing the keying of the secondary ... they apply a bit of blur or de-noising to make the secondary smoother and cover over the odd pixel or three or four that don't "fit" the key of the secondary in the middle of something you're aiming for.
In current SpeedGrade, I'd try using the Guassian Blur (Range) effect, and sample a good range of the skin tones.
And a lot of people use Red Giant's "Cosmo" plug-in over in AfterEffects or Premiere Pro ... it's a tool designed specifically for working skin tones, dealing with blemishes, wrinkles, spots, and such.

Gaussian Blur Problem

Hi there
I am having trouble getting the gaussian blur to work properly.
I have an image that is split up into layers using photoshop and I am trying to blur one of the layers. The only problem is that I am getting a white halo round the image as it blurs. My image is a colour image with black lines round it. It is as if the colour is seeping out underneath the black lines as it blurs, even though it's all on the same layer.
The blur does exactly what I want in photoshop, but in Final Cut I have this annoying problem. I can't do the blur ahead of time as I need to animate the blur.
I can't even begin to tell you how amazingly urgent this problem is.
Cheers
Morph

OK. I see the problem you have with white bleeding in.
Here's a different approach:
Click the film frame icon with the A on it at the bottom right of your Viewer.
Choose Matte > Color. Go to the Controls tab and set the color you want.
Press F9 to insert edit or drag to the Canvas.
Open the Effects tab in the Viewer. Video Generators > Shapes > Circle. Press F12 to superimpose on V2 in your Timeline.
Go to the film frame icon again and choose Slug. Switch the source/destination patch button to V2
Press F12 to superimpose on V3. Right click the Slug clip on your Timeline. Go to Composite mode > Travel Matte Luma.
Click the Shape clip to send it to the Viewer. Use the Softness contols to keyframe your blur effect .
My result using the above method:
This took about 30 seconds to set up.

Issue with Gaussian Blur and Spot Colors

Wondering if anyone has a solution to this issue.
Setup: We are using CS4 + CS5 Illustrator on Mac OS 10.5.X and 10.6.X
We created a spot color radial gradient filled circle over a background of the same spot color. The gradient went from 100% of the color down to 2%. We then applied a gaussian blur set to 50 pixels so that we had a nice smooth transition from the circle blurring outwards over the background with the blur blending into the spot color background.
The problem arises when we select "Retain Spot Colors" on the blur. It fills the gradient circle with 100% solid color (but at the 2% range of the gradient so it appears white) and deletes the blur effect. If we don't select "Retain Spot Colors", it converts the blur to process and we get a banding on our printouts where the spot background and CMYK gaussian meet.
We tried the gaussian blur set at 5 pixels all the way up to 55 in 10 pixel increments but nothing worked. We tried different spot colors, same issue. We know we can do the background in Photoshop and import it into Illustrator as a workaround, but we are constantly editing and changing files and would like to keep everything in Illustrator.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this or if there is even a solution. We have not tried Illustrator 5.5 and do not want to invest the money in the upgrade yet. We would prefer to stay with both CS4 and CS5.
Thank you for any input.

Hi Mike,
Okay, I have some new information that changes things. I misunderstood what the issue was from the designer. My apologies in advance for the confusion. There are actually two issues but they are somewhat related.
Issue 1:
We are concerned with banding on the outside of a spot color gradient with a gaussian blur over a patterned background of the same spot color. We do not know if this is becasue of the number of pixels on the blur, the version of Illustrator, the blending of the blur into the patterned background, etc... While the banding looks slight on screen it is more pronounced when printed. There are many variables and we have tried everything we can think of to create a smooth transition but we keep getting some banding.
The first image shows what happens when the Preserve Spot Colors in the Raster Effects Settings (found under the Effect menu) is unchecked. We believe that the spot color is being treated as CMYK and causing the blur to be a slightly different color than the spot color background thus causing the banding.
The second image shows what happens when we select Preserve Spot Colors. We lose the blur.
The third image is what we are trying to achieve over a over a patterned background of the same spot color. This was achieved with the Preserve Spot Colors unchecked and also unchecking Overprint Preview in the Separations Preview Palette. However, this brings us right back to the issue with the Preserve Spot Color being unchecked.
Issue 2:
The issue is that we want to print a spot color gradient with a gaussian blur (over 50 pixels). In order to preview the blur effect correctly we have to uncheck the Preserve Spot Colors in the Raster Effects Settings (found under the Effect menu). However, we have recently found out that this will not work with the software our printers use to do separations. If we check the Preserve Spot Color for the separator, it turns the blur into a large square of color (see screensnap below). We have played around with the Add: x Around Object setting in Raster Effects but it has not helped.
3. If we do not select "Preserve Spot Color", the blur looks correct but it is no longer a spot color but CMYK when separated.
I hope that isn't too confusing and makes sense. Again, apologies for the mixup on my part originally. Thanks again for any help.

Script to Edit Gaussian Blur Effect

Hello
I have a complex piece of artwork which has to be scaled up by a factor of 10. No problem except the Gaussian Blur Effect will not scale.
Rather than go through each path and edit the blur amount (by a factor of 10) I had hoped I could write a script which would iterate through every path and if it had a Gaussian Blur Effect edit the value.
Looking in the AppleScript dictionary and online I can't see any way of accessing a path's Appearance or Effects.
I would be very grateful for some advice on this before I start the tedious process of manually changing the values.
Regards
Chris

Hello Mark
Thanks for your prompt reply. I thought as much. It's disappointing really.
The select filters will not unfortunately be helpful because the blurs are different so I can't select all blurred items because I don't want to set them all the same and equally I can't pick one and select all with the same blur amount because I don't know if I have changed all of the items.
I've just got my head down and am selecting them all individually and editing them!
Regards
Chris

How to put gaussian blur in background of portrait in PSE 8

I have just spent four hours trying to blur the background of a portrait. Should be a simple task but something goes wrong. I make a duplicate layer, but when I try to gaussian blur the layer, it just goes to checkerboard. And the preview screen for gaussian blur goes black. Am I doing something wrong, or is there a glitch with the program?

Hi,
Are you creating two different layers of main object and background... Also make sure that appropriate transparency is porvided in each layer...

Gaussian blur results in banding

Here's a piece of wall I try to gaussian blur (> 60 radius) and always results in bandings. I tried adding noise but it doesn't help, unless I add so much noise the image becomes unrecognizable.
Here's the same image in case the one above is re-compressed
blur
In case you wonder why blur this image, there is an electrical outlet near this wall (not shown) that I edited out and need to blur the edited area, and realize the resulting banding is caused by the wall and photoshop.
Are there other solutions?
I'm using photoshop CS4 in 16 bit mode.

Yes, I know what you're talking about. It's as though you don't want to accept the explanation.
With 24 bit color you will see the divisions between regions of identical RGB values in the 24 bit color space where they change by one level. It's most easily seen in gray or near gray gradients of dim luminosity (which is what you have here).
There is no uneven banding in the data in the image you posted. It's a 16 bit PNG file and the data is perfectly clean and smooth, which is what you'd expect from a large radius Gaussian Blur.
If you're seeing uneven or more severe banding on your display only, it's possible something in your system setup is amiss (e.g. a poorly constructed monitor profile, or a malfunctioning display driver), causing you to see multi-level jumps between adjacent regions of color.
On my very well tuned 24 bit color setup I can see the even (but very subtle) banding of your 16 bit image. Doing the following hides it completely:
If your display setup is functioning optimally you won't sense any banding in the above image (after having clicked it to make it show at full size of course).

Doc Raster Effects on gaussian blur

CS5, Mac 10.8.4.
We inherited a design at doc raster effects of 72 dpi, using a light blue PMS 291 arch shape that was gaussian blurred to make a soft arched gradient.
Changed doc raster effects to 300 dpi, and the gradient turned into a solid of PMS 291. I edited the 90 gaussian blur amount to 21.6 = (90 * 72)/300. That did not look right as the gradient was not soft but hard. Kept tweaking the gradient to find that it looked best at 59, when we went to 60 pixels then the gradient jumped to a solid lt blue with no gradient. Printed the 59 gaussian blue, and it looked like this coming out of our DC 240 color xerox laser printer (photoshopped to simulate, basically the gradient ends with a hard wave.)
So I said enough of this, I do not like the gaussian blur and wish Illustrator did not even have that as and option cause for final work causes to much trouble. Rebuilt this as a 3 step blend in PMS 291. Looked great on screen, but also printed like the second screen shot. Anyone have any idea what I can do. I am totally fine with getting rid of the gaussian blur, as we will be having many more new packaging coming in different sizes that will need this arched gradient.
Here are my doc raster effect settings. Would like to know more about anti alias and the create clipping mask option. My question though is how to get rid of gradient ending hard.

Seems the best I can do is to rebuild this gradient in Photoshop as a spot channel, so that I get a soft ending.
If anyone from Adobe or the forums has any input about this do raster effects setting, and how to calculate a gaussian blur that looks the same at 72 or 300 dpi.
