Dual brush question

Here's is my problem (CS6). I have created a number of dual brush presets. When I paint in Photoshop, the dual brush portion of the brush ALWAYS randomly rotates. How do I make the second brush (dual checkmark) on my preset NOT rotate when I paint. The original brush tip shape does not rotate. I just want the dual brush portion always be at one angle.
Thanks!

I have tried everything you mentioned above but no fix. I tried it both on PC (windows 7) and Mac (10.8.5) platforms and in CS5/CS6. Has anyone else experienced this with dual brush? Does it always randomly rotate?
I wonder if it is a system limitation. Can someone try this out and let me know if it works on later version of Photoshop?
I've attached an example of the problem: The brush tip shape is the soft round. The dual brush is the star. As you can see the star rotates randomly. I just want the star to remain at an upright angle (or even at the direction of my pen tilt would be nice). Bottom line is I want to control the angle of the dual brush.

Drag-resize doesn't resize dual brushes properly. CS4

It has come to my attention that the new drag-resize feature only changes the master diameter of the brush but leaves the dual-brush diameter intact. It is the only shortcut that does this resizing improperly.
I would like to know if everyone else experiences the same problem. Is it a bug or is this way of resizing intended?
I mainly do digital paintings and this small bug makes the feature useless for me. I hope that it will be fixed at least in cs5 :P

If you open the brush dialog, there is a dual brush setting on the left that can be enabled. If you click on it, the dual brush diameter is the first option that can be changed and it is in pixels not %. If you resize your brush size with bracket keys or right click and drag the slider, photoshop adjusts this setting automatically, but the new drag resize leaves this setting intact.

Photoshop CS5 Dual brushes

It seems that Photoshop CS5 doesn't display the dual brush that is selected when you select a brush from the libraries. It indicates there should be a dual brush by a tick but no brush tip is selected.
Am I missing something or is this just a bug that needs sorting out still?
Thanks

SSprengel's right.
What kind of video card do you have? It's always a good idea to check the web site of the maker of your video card to see if they have released updated drivers.
I run Photoshop CS5 across two 1600 x 1200 monitors, by the way, without problems.

Dual Brush Setting

Hello
I'm going through some old custom brushes, and a lot of them have the 'dual brush' selection checked on in the 'brush' panel.
From what I understand, you have:
Your current brush peset
and then the 'dual brush' is ticked on, so basically there are 2 brushes overlapping eachother.
What I'm trying to do is turn off the 'current' brush, leaving only the 'dual brush' selected. I hope this makes sense.
At the very least, I'd like to try to find a way to identify what the dual brush's name is, and perhaps identify what .abr set it belongs to. I know that if you hover the cursor ontop of the dul brush thumbnail on the right hand side of the brush panel, that a tooltip will pop up, giving you its name. But this doesn't allow you to select that brush, and it doesn't tell you what .abr file it's from. I really need to find a way to actually select it. Without knowingwhat .abr file it's from, there seems to be no way to access that particular dual brush.
Anyone know if there's a way to find this out?

In CC 2014 if I highlight just Dual Brush (of a brush using two brush tips) in the list of brush features in the Brushes Panel, I can see the second brush, with a fine blue square round it, in the brush tip map. If you then highlight the Brush Tip Shape title, with Dual Brush not selected, you can see the main brush in the brush tip map with a blue square round it..

Turning off angle jitter for dual brush in CS3

I'm trying to create a brush with the dual brush feature in Photoshop, but I can't get the result I'm looking for since Photoshop seems to force angle jitter for the 'secondary' brush chosen under dual brush. I can turn it on or off for the 'base' brush I choose, but there are no options for angle control under dual brush. Is there any way to get dual brush to not mess with the angle of the brush chosen, or is it simply hard coded to randomize the angle?
(Basically I'm looking to create a brush with a bristle pattern that only shows up at low brush pressure settings, but as I can't align the bristle stamp to the base brush stamp since it gets jittered, I can't seem to do this.)
Any tips appreciated.

Oh, and just to be clear - this is a request for help/solutions

New to Solaris - dual boot question

I have been using OpenSolaris on my ThinkPad T400s, dual booting with Windows 7. I want to give Solaris 10 a try. I've had it running in Virtual Box under OS X for a while, and I think I'm comfortable enough to try it out on my ThinkPad. Here is my question: will the Solaris Interactive installer let me install Solaris 10 in my existing OpenSolaris partition? And if it does, will it modify the bootloader so that I can still dual boot with Windows 7? I dont want to have to destroy partitions and re-install Windows. Once its on my hard drive, I can add myself as a user, install the Intel 5300 wireless driver, etc... Anyone have any other issues with Solaris 10 on a T400s?

Okay, well as usually happens, when I resort to help I end up solving my own problem.
In this case however, I still don't have a good grasp of what is going on.
I deleted the partition table with sgdisk --zap-all /dev/sda and then used gdisk to recreate it, specifically setting the code for /dev/sda1 to ef00.
I then reformatted the FAT partition, leaving the other one alone. After mounting /dev/sda1 to /boot and reinstalling linux and grub, I ran:
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=$esp --bootloader-id=arch_grub --recheck
as described in the wiki, and
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
And it worked, including automatically detecting Windows on the other drive. Not sure what went wrong the first time but I'm glad to get it working.

Win XP/Win 7 dual boot question and

My replacement motherboard for my crapped out Dell one that was a replacement, crapped out the other week and it was tested with a new power supply to no avail. it was also tested in a shortcut, (connecting the two wires directly, the two that "short out" that turns on the power) and that didnt work either.. (something like that)
My options are:
buy another replacment motherboard and hope it stays working longer than the six months the other did
Buy a new computer and use my old hard drive
thus arising this question:
since the new computer will have Windows 7 on it, can I use that as a slave drive and use my primary drive (not going to loose my data and stuff) I have the primary drive as XP but the new one will use 7, when I put in the win 7 drive as a slave drive, will it boot to 7 or XP and would I have the option to dual boot, even if they are seperate drives..
I think I am writing it a confusing way but I hope you can understand what I am getting at....
Simply put--
I have XP drive
I buy new computer it has Win 7 drive
Xp drive becomes master, win 7 becomes slave
Will XP boot or Win 7 boot when its set as the slave drive? what about XP/7 dual boot? they are on seperate drives, will it let me dual boot?
I want my XP drive to boot.
I hope you can understand that..
If I can, I would like to reformat the win7 drive and just use that for storage. is that possioble?
Ethan
I just want some help or even an opinion, is that so hard to ask for?

Okay I read through your post a few times and I am still a bit confused about what your setup looks like. I am going to assume you bought a new computer with Windows 7 on it thus you DID NOT replace the motherboard on the old one. With that assumption, then your answer would be no, only Windows 7 would boot (and it might have some problems if you have it set as the slave drive). Windows XP from your old hard drive would not boot because simply put, the BIOS will not detect a proper boot.ini file and the hardware configuration (partitions and/or disk types) does not match up.
If you want to set up a dual boot, you would have to install the secondary hard drive (or partition the primary one) and perform a destructive OS restore on it AND find the drivers for it (if the manufacturer of the computer even supports it). When I used to work for the Geek Squad, numerous clients asked about this and the general consensus was that the Geek Squad strongly opposed it because of the drivers. Being that XP and 7 are a generation apart, the chances of the manufacturer of the computer or motherboard releasing drivers for both was unlikely. Sometimes the client would opt to have it done anyway but my former Precinct would always warn them that some features may not work correctly.
If you want Windows XP and Windows 7, I suggest the XP Mode that Windows Pro and Ultimate offers. You literally run Windows XP inside a window of Windows 7.

Mac and Windows with dual monitors Question

I use a Intel MacPro running Tiger with latest updates in my church. We use the Mac and Keynote 2.0.2 to present PowerPoint slides on the big screen (dual outputs). Everything was going well until the pastors upgraded to new computers running Vista and Office 2007. Now neither pastor's files will load into Keynote. It comes up with an error. The pastors have saved their files from PP as 2003 PPT files, and they still will not open. Error - unable to open file type. The one pastor went back to XP (dumped Vista) but still used the Office 2007 program and saved as PP2003, but the error still appears.
FYI - I noticed that Office 2007 saves with a file with the extension of .pptx instead of the .ppt. Checking the file they gave me shows that it is indead a .ppt file and not .pptx file. It makes no difference.
I believe it is an Office 2007 problem I'm dealing with. I have taken the .ppt file and loaded it onto the PC running PP 2003 and it loads fine, except for some format problems. I then resave it with a different name and tried to load that file (hoping it was converted) , with the same error showing. The problem is transfered with the file. Other files created with the PP 2003 program load fine into Keynote, so it has to be the Office2007 doing something.
So the questions are, is there an easy fix and still use the Keynote program, OR does Keynote 3 take care of this problem in the upgrade, OR should I install Win XP home or Pro and use parallels (which I have)? Would WinXP Home be enough to support the dual outputs and be fast enough? I am familiar with XP Pro not Home.
Any information you may have, could be a help. I need this resolved soon. I hate having to bring in the old Windows PC, after enjoying the quality of the Mac.

I have no issues streaming video on demand from all of the media sources which you have listed. My Mac mini is the Early '09, so my hardware is not as powerful as the newest Mac mini.
Dah•veed
Thanks David - glad to here the Mini supports dual monitors, and you're not having any streaming issues. Did you have any special settings, like "no hardware acceleration"? Are you streaming HD content?
If it supports dual monitors, then I would think the iPad could be used as a second display and input device - the demos I've seen with Air Display (from Avatron Software") would accomplish what I'm looking for. Here is a demo at http://www.vimeo.com/16950420 showing the iPad working with a Windows machine, but I've seen them working with Macs as well.
Thanks again

G4 DVD Dual Layer question

I have a 14" G4 1.07GHz iBook with a Non DVD Burning CD/CDR/CDRW/DVD drive. My question is, will it READ a dual layer DVD? Thanks!

Hhmmm...let me know if it works for you. I have (I think) the exact same setup, and my drive spits out dual discs. We bought Bruce Springsteen's The Seeger Sessions, which is a dual disc, and I had to resort to alternate methods to import the songs into my iTunes library. I Googled after having the problem and found others who had the same problem.

PSE8 & Dual Monitor Question

I just connected an external display to my MacBook Pro & have a couple of very remedial questions.
I have the displays set up in the "extended desktop" mode. But when I open an image in ACR, I cannot drag the ACR window to my external display. Can you please help me here?
Also, for those of you using dual displays, I assume a desirable way to set up the 2 screens is to keep the PSE tools on one screen & the image to be edited in the other. I'm curious about how you set up your workspace.
Thank you very much.

Well, you're using dual monitors the way I've always heard it was to be done.
First unless the monitors are identical, it does seem like quite a logistics issue to have both screens color balanced and calibrated. So, obviously keep the image on the one that "prints best".
For the sake of disucssion, if both displays were very close to identical, I suppose you could use the "clone display" mode as a constant before and after.
My own slightly eccentric self would like to have one monitor vertical, and the other horizontal. This would present both horizontal and vertical images full frame simultaneously. As it stands now, I can get this, but I need two computers to do it.
I seem to be in a minority, as none of the current graphics drivers permit this, without one of the images being sideways that is. Is this too eccentric?

Docked X60 - Dual Monitor question

Hi All !
I have an X60 docked on an X6 Ultrabase...I'd like to run a couple of HP 1740 TFT monitors off the laptop (without the integrated screen operational) in the usual FN + F7 fashion.
I thought I might be able to use one of these to split the output and run up both monitors in parallel ? Will this work and detect the dual monitor real estate or do i have no choice but to go with one of these
Hope you have some advice ?
Cheers
Scott

Art brush question

When I use an art brush on a rectangle the corners all have a flat, angled
outside edge. It doesn't matter what art brush I use, it happens with all
of them. I've tried changing the miter type but that doesn't do anything
with art brushes. Is there anyway to get the brushes to 'flow' around the
corners without the flat spot?
Thanks!
Richard

The simplified file in question is here:

Two layers, two objects.
The blue object is the subject of discussion as the art brush.
The "crystalized" oval with the transparent gradient is on a locked layer.
Trying to change the direction of the art brush while the transparent gradient object's layer is locked fails.
Unlock the layer and the direction change works as expected.
(The CS5 symbol sprayer problem has been discussed on this forum in the past, probably NOT related here since I ruled it out by deleting any in the file)

Dual xeon question

Hello,
I came about this offer and was wondering if anyone could give me some input on the cpu's and graphics card, especially in the light of the new lga2011 and today's gtx performances.
Mainly for AFTER EFFECTS and PREMIERE PRO.
System one:
Fujitsu Siemens Celsius R650 - 530euro
Cpu : Intel 2x Dual Core XEON E5260 3.30 Ghz
RAM: 8 GB DDR2 Dual Channel
Hard Disk : 146 GB 10K RPM SAS RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10
Video: Nvidia Quadro FX4600 768MB GDDR3/ 384-bit
Intel® 5400, Intel® 6321ESB I/O Controller Hub
System 2:
Fujitsu Siemens Celsius R650 - 540euro
Cpu: Intel 2x Quad Core XEON E5440 2.80 Ghz
RAM : 2 GB DDR2 Dual Channel
HDD : 2x 80 GB 7.2K RPM SATA RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10
Video card: Nvidia Quadro FX4600 768MB GDDR3/ 384-bit
Intel® 5400, Intel® 6321ESB I/O Controller Hub
Of course, the only intereting parts are the quadros and the xeons.
Will there be a huge gain in AE within the octocore? (without the 64GB RAM addition? )
Thank you,
Sebastian

I thought as much, but i wanted a professional opinion.
After the launch of the new Sandy Bridge-E, i eagerly wait some AE and premiere tests:).
Biggest and most expensive problem will be the storage array, with the crysis in Thailand, the hdd prices have doubled.
Short question, if on the subject. Is there any way to run CS5 on a 2x dual core xeon mac pro 1.1 a bit faster then it does? Beside buying an nvidia for mac card? Any setting on premiere to use both cpu's?
Thank you,
Sebastian Plamadeala

Dual core question

I created a java program that runs a whois pearl script on the ip addresses in the program�s array. The program runs flawlessly on a single core processor, but when I run the program on my dual core, sometimes some threads (synchronized threads) return an exit value of 9 instead of 0. I tried finding out what this exit value means, but could not find any information on it, so my questions are: 1) does anyone know what this exit value means? 2) Do I need to change the way I use threads when it comes to multi-core processors?
Thanks for your time

A Thread doesn't have a return value. At least, the standard Thread class in the Java API doesn't. Now it's possible you are working with a class that somebody else wrote, and it wraps a Thread with something that does somehow return a value. Or something like that. But if that's the case, you should direct your questions about the return value to whoever wrote the code.
Or if that person has vanished and taken all copies of the documentation (if there ever was any) then you could post the code here.

Dual partitioning questions.

Ok, well im pretty clueless when it comes to certain things with computers. In this case its dual partitioning. Ive looked around the internet and figured out how to do it (sort of) but im still fairly uncertain of the consequences so i have a few questions.
1. Whats the best way to dual partition if i want to have windows XP installed to be able to use .exe files, bootcamp?
2.When dual partitioning what exactly is halfed? If i was to dual partition would my mac perform as well or would it use half RAM on each partition etc?
3.Can you choose how much to partition? or does it have to be half and half.
4.What disc do i need exactly for it, will it be the windows XP installation disk? (any links to where i can get one would be great!)
5.Can you undo a dual partitioning? If so, how?
6.Is this the best way to be able to use .exe files and play windows based games etc.
7.Will i only need an XP disk and bootcamp?
Thanks a lot to anyone in advance. If i think of any more questions ill ask.

My3rs,
I think you are making it much more complex than need be. If you want to Run Windows XP (or any other supported version of Windows for that matter) using Bootcamp when you run Bootcamp Assistant to set it up Bootcamp will partition your internal drive for you, all you need to do is choose how much space you want to dedicate to MS Windows.
You will need an original Windows XP license (Home or Professional) to install as that is a Microsoft product and you will be using their software. As far as I know it's not downloadable and because it's so old finding a new commercial disc of XP may be tough, I would think EBay would be the best bet if you don't already own a license. My recommendation would be to purchase Windows 7 from any computer retailer.
Regards,
Roger
