Did you start w/ Fireworks, or switch from another app?

This is a poll.
Did you start out making graphics as a Fireworks user, or migrate from another graphics program like Photoshop?

But every program has MANY similarities.
Start with the basic menus for file opening and saving, edits (Ctrl-Z for undo)
Selections: (Ctrl-A for all), bitmaps have magic wands and lasso tools
You can zoom in and out and move around in your document
Color selections are similar, RGB or HSL, sometimes CMYK. Values maybe 0-100, or 0-255, or even in hex
Vector objects (including text objects) have a fill and a stroke
Bitmap manipulation includes modifying brightness&contrast as well as color
Layers are common
Masking is common
Vector objects can be combined: joined/added or subtracted
The differences between programs are in the names of the tools, the organizations of the menus, and in the advanced operations that are available in the more specialized programs. For example, Fireworks is a hybrid vector-bitmap editing program, so it has some tools for manipulating both vector objects and bitmap programs. However, Illustrator, or other specilaized vector-editing programs will have more capabilites with vector objects than FW. Similarly, Photoshop or another dedicated photo or bitmap editor will have other capabilities FW doesn't have.
Instead of thinking in terms of "now I use this tool," think in terms of what you want to accomplish and then look for how that might be done. Along the way, you'll discover the other special capabilities of each program you use.

  • Did you know that the software purchased from the App Store could be an old version?

    Today I purchased Adobe Photoshops Elements fro the App Store.  I never thought to check the version number, it never crossed my mind that could be the old version I was buying.  Apparently the latest version available on the App store is version 10 however the new version 11 was released back in Spetember apparently.  Once I had realised my error (as I would never have bought it if I was aware of this) I contacted Apple tech support.  To cut to the chase they believe that I was not mis-sold the software as the software states version 10 in the App Store. 
    <Edited by Host>

    Adobe must send the application to the App Store so Apple can put it in the App Store. If you want 11, purchase it in Adobe webpage or contact with Adobe and ask them if they're going to send the most recent version to Apple

  • How can you start the tag config editor from a vi or when labview starts?

    how can you start the tag config editor from a vi or when labview starts?

    Hi,
    There is a VI called "dsc_TagEditorLauncher.vi" under "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\project\lvdsc" folder that can be used to launch the TCE programmatically. I hope this helps.

    How do I switch from German apps store to US store?

    I have the same issue. I followed the instructions and successfully changed to the US store  but my App Store and iTunes still accesses the old German one and so I cannot find or download US app store apps.
    Do you meet the following requirements: 1) have a valid billing address in the U.S., 2) have a credit card billed to that address or an iTunes gift card purchased in the U.S. and 3) are you physically present in the U.S.?
    If you don't meet all of those requirements, you can't purchase from the U.S. Store.

  • Starting and stopping a VI from another VI

    Hello
    I have to write a VI for starting and stopping a vi from another vi. I browsed the forums for an example but couldn't find one. If anyone has an example it would be of great help.
    Thanks
    Ankit

    I may be throwing myself into a pot of boiling water here, but...
    I don't think this method is called dynamically calling a VI. Going through the LabVIEW help says this about dynamically called VIs
    "You can dynamically load VIs instead of using statically linked subVI calls. A statically linked subVI is one you place directly on the block diagram of a caller VI. It loads at the same time the caller VI loads.
    Unlike statically linked subVIs, dynamically loaded VIs do not load until the caller VI loads them with the Open VI Reference. If you have a large caller VI, you can save load time and memory by dynamically loading the VI because the VI does not load until the caller VI needs it, and you can release it from memory after the operation completes. You also can use the VI Call Configuration dialog box to configure when to load the subVI."
    and:
    "Create a strictly typed VI reference to dynamically call a VI using the Call by Reference Node. The strictly typed VI refnum identifies the connector pane of the VI you are calling."
    It seems that the advantage of dynamically calling a VI you can call DIFFERENT VI's with the same function on the block diagram as long as both are strictly typed to have the same connector pane. So say you have a VI that has a voltage input and a time input and calculates the rate of voltage change, could be replaced by a VI that takes the same inputs, but does something else with the data. And both VI's could be called by the same function depending of the reference passed to "Call by Reference."
    I think the method of calling a VI and not caring about when it finishes is just an Invoke Node method.

  • How do you sync music into your library from another file

    how do you sync music into your library from another file?  After moving all my music into a new location, is there a quicker way to upload the music into the library rather than adding file by file?

    Hi MonicaJani,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  You can also add folders of media as described here:
    Adding music and other content to iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1473
    Adding content on your computer to iTunes
    iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
    Open iTunes
    From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
    MacAdd to Library
    Windows
    Add File to Library
    Add Folder to Library
    Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
    If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
    Cheers,
    - Ari

  • How do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

    how do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

    The operating system may be the same but the Numbers applications are likely different.  You need to get the apps in sync.  Unfortunately, the Numbers (and Pages as well) saga is pretty confusing (and frustrating).  Here's some info from the iWork resident version expert (PeterBreis0807):
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.

  • CS5 Hangs When Minimizing or Switching to Another App

    If I minimize Premiere or switch to another app (or even if I use the encoder queue, which opens another window and takes the focus off the Premiere app and puts it on the encoder app), Premiere hangs.  First it has the Windows 7 "working" circle, then if you click anywhere it turns the Premiere screen white and says Not Responding.  The other windows on my second monitor (like Project, Audio Mixer, etc.) stay normal looking until you click on them, then they become white as well.
    There's a ton of disk activity when this happens.
    Not sure, but it could be related to something else I'm seeing: Premiere tries to rebuild peak files and reloads all MXF (P2) media each time project loads, which takes forever.  It's almost like it starts to do it again in the background when the app loses focus.  I've tried all the remedies I could find in the forums to fix the rebuilding of peak files, no luck.
    Note that I've made some smaller test projects, and they don't seem as affected - still slow when switching back, but don't completely hang.
    This is on a large, 1-hour broadcast project with tons of source clips.  I'm trying to export 9 segments for the broadcast master, which has become excruciatingly painful to do...first I have to load the project, then wait 10 minutes for the 3,500 clips to load, then export the segment (which immediately hangs Premiere once the Encoder window takes over).  Am having to do that for each segment...you get the picture.
    I saw another post from a guy saying he gets degraded playback performance when switching back to Premiere after going to another app...perhaps related? Perhaps not.  Dunno.
    Win7 64
    i7 Extreme
    12 GB RAM
    Quadro 4800
    Would love any suggestions...
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I'm seeing similar switching issues on large projects - happened in CS4 as well though.
    This is with around 2000-3000 file references to load.
    Mine takes about 20-30 seconds to switch (IIRC). Frustratingly it also happens no matter what is switched to - e.g. if a system popup appears, switching back to Premiere has the same delay. looks like Premiere is re-reading all of the footage files as my RAID5 array is hammered each time.
    I was hoping that in the switch to CS5 and 64 bit, this would go away - but that's not so.
    Wouldn't look so terminal if PPro at least put up a dialogue box rather than allowing Windows to grey out the window as if the app has crashed (which we know isn't the case). Windows is quick to show an app not responding though.
    Anyone else also seeing this on larger projects with lots of files?
    Paul.

  • Why do the maps app bookmarks are erased every time I switch to another app?

    I am encountering several problems with the new maps application which are not related to the mapping data itself.
    My problems are:
    Every bookmark I keep dissapears after a while (mostly after I switch to another app, but sometimes it takes a little more switching before the bookmark is gone).
    I cannot access bookmarks when I try to set a route. There is no option to choose a starting/end point from a contact address or bookmark.
    Am I doing something wrong? I could not find any reference in other forums describing this problem and would appreciate any help.
    P.S.
    The first problem I describe was present also for the old maps application on iPhone 4S and iPhone 3.

    Thanks for explaining how app's loss of state can happen. However, I'm sure that the behavior of the four apps I mentioned is much worse than just a few months ago. Something must have changed, and iOS 7 is the main difference. The Kindle app behaves as it used to, but the others do not. Maybe I should note the problem in reviews of the apps themselves in the App Store -- and down rate the apps.

  • How do I hear Garageband in multitask? I am playing guitar in GB using Apogee Jam. Would like to read lyrics in Safari while hearing guitar in background. But I can only hear GB when it is the active program. Sound stops if I switch to another app.

    ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by

    Controller-specific error completion with error information indicating transmission error.
    On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error.
    Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities.
    As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is likely to indicate ATA bus error.
    Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may alleviate the problem.
    I'd also add; make sure you have good backups when ATA errors are frequent

    Yes... because no such functionality exists.
    If the media was purchased via iTunes, select File > Transfer purchases.
    If the media was not purchased via iTunes, then copy it from the original computer or the backup of that computer.

  • No color toolbar icons from standard launch, ok when launched from another app.

    When launched from another app like google earth the toolbar icons are in color.
    When launched normally the icons have no colors.
    Currently Thunderbird 24.6.0

    another experiment.
    When you have the colour icons, Select Help menu > about (what version is this) when you have the black do the same and see if it is different versions. (pressing F10 will make them menu bar visible if it is not.)
    Thunderbirds icons changes from living colour to black and white quite a few versions ago.
    Reasons for color are;
    * An old version
    * An add-on by way of a Theme
    * The running of Thunderbird in XP compatibility mode in Windows
