CS5 Selection Display Differences - any tricks?
So, now that I've been working with CS5 for a while, I'm finding that the selection lines display differently from previous CS versions, and in not such a good way. I need to know if there's an option somewhere for resetting these:
1. The bounding box, for example, never grays out--it always looks like it needs to be double clicked to apply your maneuver. I can't quite remember what it looked like before in CS4, but the lines as they are now really stand out, and detract from seeing how the object fits with the overall canvas. And, I can't tell whether the operation has completed because there's no visible change in the bounding box lines.
2. When performing a selection with the lasso, the lines are no longer the complementary color of the object you're selecting--it always stays a light gray. So I'm losing my place because I can't distinguish the marching ants from the background.
Any way to fix this? Has anybody come up with a trick to help? Thanks for any observations you might have!
I've just been looking through Photoshop CS3, CS4, and CS5 to try to see what you're talking about.
I was going to ask what "Show Bounding Box" setting you mean, but I figured it out. You're talking about the Show Transform Controls checkbox when the Move tool is active.
I think it's a bit more complicated than what's being described, based on what I see when the layer on top does not occupy the full canvas... In Photoshop CS4, there was a difference whether OpenGL was enabled or not, while in Photoshop CS5 it's consistent both ways.
Click these images to see them most clearly.
Here's what I see in Photoshop CS3 before and after grabbing a handle and transforming the layer. Note the dotted outline, as described in this thread.
Photoshop CS4, OpenGL disabled. Note the dotted outline:
Photoshop CS4, OpenGL Enabled. Note no outline at all before resizing:
Photoshop CS5, OpenGL Disabled:
Photoshop CS5, OpenGL Enabled:
Maybe they had some trouble making a dotted line in OpenGL, so they decided to make OpenGL ON/OFF consistent using a solid line in CS5.

Any way to get Illustrator CS5 to display full screen mode like Photoshop?
Is there any way to get Illustrator's screen modes to behave like Photoshop's screen modes?
One of the things I like most about Photoshop is the way it toggles from standard screen mode to "full screen with menu bar" to just "full screen".
For example, in Photoshop's standard mode, the window is no bigger than the size of the canvas. Why can't Illustrator do that?
And, is there anyway to get Illustrator CS5 to display the full screen mode where the background outside the artboard or canvas is black instead of white. Working in Illustrator for long hours, it would much easier on my eyes if the surrounding background could be black like in Photoshop.
Thanks very much in advance for any help,
- NickAt the bottom of the Tool bar is a toggle button (F) which will change the Screen Mode.

Check boxes are not being displayed in any list applets
Issue: The check boxes are not being displayed in any list applets in the system. A check box can be marked in the system, but as soon as the user clicks anywhere outside of the box the check box 'visibly' disappears. If you hover the mouse over the check box it displays a 'Y'. However, check boxes are working fine for the form applet, the issue is only with the list applet.
I verified the checkboxes work fine in the thick client and in production. However, it is the testing environment, which belongs to client, that is showing the above behavior. I think there is some setting that is missing for them. But I am unable to figure it. I would really appreciate if someone could help !!
Thanks in advanceOne way that you could make it work (just tried it out again) is to use the windings font
and use the checkboxes from there. However, you need to register the font with xml publisher. In the template builder for Word, you can put a configuration file under:
C:\Program Files\Oracle\XML Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\config
(depnding on your installation). The file should have the name xdo.cfg or xdoconfig.xml.
There is an example file: xdo example.cfg that you rename and change accoringly.
The font is there setup for windows 2000 as an example. Select the correct font
path - for my XP it is:
<font family="Wingdings" style="normal" weight="normal">
<truetype path="C:\WINDOWS\fonts\wingding.ttf" />
</font>
Then you can put the symbols into your RTF template and it will be rendered.
At least it worked for me - with 5.6.2. (Availbable on Wednesday or Thursday), but
I am pretty sure I tried it before with 5.5.
Didn't have the 5.5 manual with me - so I have to check what that says again..
Hope it helps,

I just got the new 13" Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display. Unfortunately, CS5 looks pretty terrible on it, but I am unwilling to spend a ton of money to upgrade to CS6, and I have no reason to use the Creative Cloud, since I will sometimes go weeks or months without using the software at all.
Will CS5 be upgraded at any point to work with retina displays?That would be never. CS5 was done 3 years ago and nobody goes back. Adobe have made it clear many times that they even will only be supporting CS6 for a limited time, but all the good stuff happens in CC.

Any trick to managing apps in iTunes 9?
Not sure if this question should be posted here or in the iTunes section ..
I have my apps on pages sorted by the application type. I have utilities on page 2, 3, Games on page 4, 5, and so on. [Aside: I wish Apple implements grouping of apps on tabbed pages. Then I can display only games if I need to, without flipping through pages of app icons].
If I install a new App, it adds the icon to the last page. If I drag and move that new app to page 2, then instead of cascading all icons through the rest of the pages, it puts the "extra" icon from the bottom of page 2 all by itself on a new page. I have to drag that on to top of page 3, and the process repeats itself until the last page has the added icon.
This is tedious. Is there any trick in application pages management so that the icons "flow" down to the next pages if I insert an app on a page?Interesting idea but, unfortunately it didn't work. I am actually able to synch my apps by checking or unchecking one of the other options such as movies. Weird.
Thanks for the idea though. -

I have an Apple MacBook Pro with 2 USB ports and a MiniDisplay Port. I also have an HDTV with a HDMI port. How can I use the TV as a display without any tethering wires between my computer and the TV? I have a MiniDisplay Port to VGA adapter, but there are two issues with it: The new display doesn't have a VGA port, and even if it did, I wouldn't want to have my mac constantly attached to the display by a cable. I was looking for a way to use the TV as a display without any wires. Is there some type of bluetooth setup I could use? Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
As I wrote above, I think you should look into the Apple TV yourself. The best place to find information about what it can and can't do and to ask your own specific questions is probably in the Apple TV forum, here:

My apple tv box no longer turns on, the white light constantly flashes on and off but no signal to my tv. All devices still pick up airplay but not actually playing. Restoring the box has made no difference, any clues?!
Was the restore done via iTunes?

If so then you may need to take it to Apple. -

I have MAC OSX 10.5.8 and need to install adobe illustrator. I checked the compatibility and found that CS5 will work.Can any one help where i can find it. The trail version is fine with me as i just have to use it for couple of days till i get my mac book back from service. Can any one help me on this.
You are welcome, ameronweb.
To elaborate a bit, you may come across offers of a new/unopened/unregistered version, which is the simplest case (you would need a guarantee). Other cases require much detailed information (and a guarantee).
If upgrading to 10.6.8 or higher is an option, you could use CS6. -
Any tricks to use PL/SQL types in object attributes?
I guess this is a bit of a newbie-question, but I haven't been able to find any workarounds elsewhere, so please bear with me... I'm far from new to object orientation, but I'm rather new to Oracle's object features.
I was wondering if there's some trick you can use to keep references to attributes of PL/SQL types even though they are not allowed in object types (as these are "SQL", yes I do think I understand). I was thinking there might be some way you could cast them to some data type that is supported in SQL and then get them back by the reverse process when you need them in the PL/SQL inside the methods?
In the concrete case, I would like to keep a reference to a utl_smtp connection in my object. It doesn't matter that the reference would be meaningless in other sessions etc. (actually I may not even want to store the objects in any persistent table - it's the polymorphism I'm after):
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE o_test AS OBJECT (
att1 NUMBER,
att2 sys.utl_smtp.connection
- which of course give me:
LINE/COL ERROR
0/0 PL/SQL: Compilation unit analysis terminated
3/12 PLS-00329: schema-level type has illegal reference to
SYS.UTL_SMTP
The problem becomes rather dull since I can't pass the connection record as a parameter to methods either.
The only workaround I could think of was to keep the connection as a global variable in a PL/SQL package and then get it from there inside the methods. Of course this can be refined using an index by table and some object unique id to support multiple objects with their separate connections. But it still seems rather clumbsy - especially given that what I was looking for was the elegance of polymorphism.
Any tricks I don't know of?
I'm working in Oracle 10gR2.
best regards,
Jakob

Selecting the difference between two images
Hi
I have two photographs exactly the same which I have taken using a tripod, lighting and general studio conditions. However, in the second picture I have inserted an subject - in this case an intricate sculpture. Can Photoshop merge those two images together AND in doing so select the difference between the two images - in this case the intricate sculpture?
Basically I need to select the sculpture and don’t want to spend the time manually selecting it due to its complexity. I need to separate the background and sculpture for editing on their own layers.
Thanks
