Font folder: which one does Photoshop use?

Switching from PC to my first Mac (new 27" iMac).  I need to copy my Windows font folder over to the Mac for use by Photoshop CS6, but not sure which font folder to put it in.  I understand there are 2 Library folders, each with their own font book?  is that correct?    "Mac-speak" is  still a foreign language to me ;o)

There are two Library folders. One is at root level (you see it when you click on the Macintosh HD folder) and the other is in your drive space. Anything placed in your Library folder can only be accessed by you while anything placed in the root Library folder can be accessed by any user.
It is a good rule of thumb to place items only in your own Library folder and to leave the root Library alone - at least until you have some Mac experience behind you. Should you place something in your own library folder that chokes the computer it would still be possible to log into another account on the computer (assuming you had one - and it is a good idea to have one) but if you put something into the root Library that made the computer choke it might not be possible to (easily) fix the problem.

  • HT4059 Which format does ibooks use?

    Which format does ibooks use?

    if you follow iLife's intended workflow, I don't see any of the huzzle you mention (?)....:
    a) iM is for miniDV.. it copies (=lossless transfer) from miniDV... there's no conversion, as long as you use SD, not HiDef.. and it is NOT intended to import 'foreign' containers as avi...
    b) as long as the iM project is located in the 'Movies' folder, there's no export/conversion/whatever... needed. iDVD detects any content there automatically, with a snap of a click ...
    c) to create a standard videoDVD, there HAS to be a time consuming encoding process, 'cause these standards asks for muxxed mpeg2.. = computation... and, with your help (=maintain system, keep min. 20GB free on system disk, size of your wallet for purchasing überMac etc), this process is fast. plus, using the themes, or using a self-created theme gives your DVDs a professional touch ...
    Plan B)
    get any HDD/DVD standalone corder (I'm using one...); import from camera, the encoding & burning process is on such machines hardware accelerated.. it creates a DVD of a 90min movie in less than 5min .. (import, for sure, in realtime...); plus those devices offers rural editing options.. the DVD menus are ugly..

  • Two graphics card on macbook pro which one do I use?

    I have two graphics cards on my macbook pro. ADM random 6490m (256mb vram) and Intel HD graphics 3000 (512mb vram). My question is which one should I use? I don't do any hardcore gaming or photoshop. I guess that I am just looking for the best display and least buffering if that even has anything to do with the graphics card. I just want to get the most out of my macbook. I appreciate any advice. Thank you.

    Your MBP more or less chooses which graphics card to use automatically.  In System Preferences>Energy Saver, check Automatic graphics switching.  When it's checked on, it will use the higher power and higher quality dedicated AMD 6490 when you're plugged into the wall, and uses the Intel 3000HD when on battery.
    I have downloaded gfxCardStatus to give me more control over which graphics card to use.  There are times I might want the AMD while on battery, even though it runs hotter and uses more battery life. 
    Either card will do well with HD movies, though I notice a lot more artifacts with the Intel 3000 when the movie has a lot of action or explosions or sounds.  If you want to do hardcore gaming, you need the AMD of course.  Photoshop is more dependent on the central processor rather than the graphics card, so I'm not sure you'd have much issue using either one.

  • 2 Graphic cards installed, which one I am using?

    Hi, I have a macbook pro with 2 graphic cards, an Intel HD graphics 3000 and a AMD Radeon HD 6750, I want to know which one am I using by default, and how can I get the best performance for use in graphics software, like photoshop cs5. Thanks

    Your system will automatically switch between the integrated GPU (HD 3000) or the AMD video card (more powerful) depending on the application you are using.  There is an excellent application (free) called gfxCardStatus.  This will put a little icon in your menubar showing you which card is in use.  It will also allow you to lock in either if you choose to do so:

  • Which system does Muse use to make the contact form widget work?

    Hello,
    I am a graphic designer working with a coder to create a new website using Muse. My coder has asked me which system does Muse use to make the contact form widget work.  Looking at the page code it looks like ASP dot net and when the user clicks the button the form data is sent to a script called “FormProcessv2.aspx”. If this is the case which version?  (e.g. ASP 1.0 or 2.0 or 3.0) Does Muse use “dot net” or “.NET” or similar in the documentation? If so then does it say which version (e.g. 1.0 or 2.0)?
    Can anyone help me with these questions?
    Many Thanks
    Emma

    It's unclear what page URL/code you're looking at? Muse does not use ASP. Muse uses PHP for form processing and relies on PHP sendMail to send the form information as an e-mail.

  • CC installed 3 versions of Photoshop. Which one should I use? How do I get bridge to point to this version?

    I use Photoshop CC (64). I have all my action scripts and hot keys set up there and everything works fine. Until I try to use bridge to run a batch in Photoshop.
    When I try to run a batch operation from bridge in Photoshop using an action I made in version Photoshop CC (64). Nothing happens. Photoshop doesn't open the batch screen and bridge acts like I never tried to run the batch (keep in mind, this happens while I have bridge and Photoshop CC (64) open.
    If I shut down Photoshop and then try to run the Batch operation. Bridge opens a version of Photoshop I don't use, therefore it doesn't have any of my actions scripts that I want to use. (I'm guessing it is opening CC 2014. Is this better than CC (64)? Should I just go ahead and use it instead?
    Keep in mind I'm using Bridge labeled Bridge CC (64bit) so in my mind it really should be looking at Photoshop CC (64).
    I tried using bridge preferences to pick CC (64) for the file type but this didn't work/help.
    I don't mind using CC 2014 but I think Bridge should have an option to pick which version of Photoshop to run the batch in. This saves me time having to save out my actions and load them up in another version of Photoshop.
    Anyway. Please let me know which version is the latest/best. I have Photoshop CC, Photoshop CC (64) and Photoshop CC 2014. It would be nice to be able to remove the ones I don't really need.

    There are three Cloud versions of Photoshop: CS6 13.1.2,  CC 14.2.1.570 and CC 2014 15.2.1. There are two two version of Adobe Bridge:  CS6 5.0.2.4 and CC 6.1.0.116.  Bridge CS6 works with Photoshop CS6,  Bridge CC works with Photoshop CC 2014.  There is no Bridge for Photoshop  CC except Bridge CC with out the Bridge CC updates. The Photoshop Version are not fully compatible with prior versions of Photoshop. Subscription CS6  removed some Plug-ins support that in perpetual CS6 so some Plugin that work in perpetual CS6 don't work in Cloud CS6, Photoshop CC is quite compatible with Subscription CS6,  CC 2014 had Flash Panel support removed so old extensions like mini bridge don't work in CC 2014.  There are bugs in CC that are not in CS6 and there are bugs in CC 2014 that are not in CC.

  • SharePoint Databases - How to determine which ones are being used and which ones aren't

    I am not sure where to exactly post this question.  On the SQL Server side or on a SharePoint side.
    I am a SQL Server Database Administrator who is monitoring some SharePoint databases.  On a daily basis it seems that they are creating new databases but don't delete the databases that they are no longer using.  For example, they might be testing
    on a development server and if things aren't working properly instead of asking that the databases be deleted they just go ahead and create new databases to do what ever they need to do.  Is there a way on the SQL Server side to determine which SharePoint
    databases are being used and which ones aren't being used?  Or does one determine this information through the SharePoint Central Administration console?
    lcerni

    Hello,
    The following query gives you the databases now in use.
    SELECT

  • Which one do you use?

    I recently started asking myself which stability and stress program to use.
    Theyre many, but i usually chose between those 3:
    1.Stress prime 2004 by Johnny Lee
    2.Super Pi by the japanese record breaking guys
    3.the well known prime95 (which i dont like to use to test my machines).
    prime 95 lacks information and details IMO but is reliable(at least thats what people say), and many people dont know how to use it at first sight(including me), asking themself what is s11t this for?
    super pi does not take much time to complete the 32million task, so im not sure about its reliability.
    and finally the one that i think is the best is the stress prime 2004 which i like the most, and the funcitons are there and it shows everything in details. the source is taken from prime95 but redone to give better results and details.
    so c'mon you o/cers, which one do you prefer ? maybe you can suggest another good one from the rest which you find interesting and reliable!!
    and pls no everest or sandra stress test suggestions.
    good day

    I use the following:  http://www.7byte.com/index.php?page=hotcpu
    Hot CPU pro is available in an evaluation version that doesn't perform all the tests but still has an accurate diagnostic and burn in mode.
    I licensed for the full features and find it works fantastic.   Pressing the diagnostic performs tests of the chipset, cpu, memory, hard drive and more for 6 hours and then tells me the result.   Or I can run Burn in and test it much more extensively.
    LOL .. we had quite a discussion a few years back about this .
    Here's a post thats quite amusing :  https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=63480.0
    I have experienced full so called "prime stable" test over 8 hours just having HotCpuTest fail as it just doesn't do prime numbers calculations or Pi calculations but some more and it's one of the best progs to get you down to earth when you thought your system was overclocked stable.
    In addition back then there was some faults in prime95 build x.xx (don't remember) with certain setup with A64 page file size and amount of memory.
    Was like talkin' to certain stoneheads back then .
    Read the thread through and see why not only trust one cpu calculation/benchmark prog  :D
     

  • Which form does IDM use?

    For reconciliation, I put in a criteria within the form of the recon admin to check if the status is equal to Termination or not, if so then disable it. If not terminated then put the users in their appropriate organization.
    <Disable>
    <eq>
    <ref>global.status</ref>
    <s>T</s>
    </eq>
    </Disable>
    Everything is fine. All the non-terminated users were in their appropriate organization. The problem is for all the Terminated ones, they were still being created except that they were put outside of the organization.
    I wonder what form does IDM use to create these Terminated users because the form of the recon admin has been disabled already.
    Thanks

    How does weblogic determine which DDL to use when          > creating JMS persistent store?
              The DDL is stored in the weblogic.jar, and a particular DDL is chosen automically based on driver meta-data.
              Version 9.0 (out in beta), provides the option of administratively configuring the DDL file location.
              For unsupported drivers, versions prior to 9.0 require manually running a DDL file to create the JDBC store's backing tables (see JMS doc).

  • GetDefaultJavaVMInitArgs(void *) structures?  which one do I use?

    Environment:
    Windows XP sp1
    J2SDK 1.4.1_01
    P4 - 512meg ram
    Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 sp5
    Question:
    I'm writing a program that creates a Java Virtual Machine and launches a static method from a class. It works good so far. Going through the limited documentation on the Invokation API and looking through the jni.h; I came accross two structures that can be passed to the GetDefaultJavaVMInitArgs() function (JDK1_1InitArgs and JavaVMInitArgs). I tried using both of them, and both seem to work just fine. What is the word on these two structures? Which one should is proper to use with today's JVMs?
    My other question is that when I call the function GetDefaultJavaVMInitArgs() with the appropriate version set, it returns successfull. It does not however update any of the fields in the structure passed in? Is it supposed to do something? If I leave this function call out of my program, my program seemingly works exactly the same. Thanx for any advice in advance:
    - Chris

    In some examples I've seen that people initialize these structures themselves, but it seems that's not even necessairy. Somehow I get the feeling the our approach will have some consequences that we don't know about (yet)...
    There must be some reason why you should call it, and why it failes in our case.
    Can anyone please tell us what's going on ?

  • Which one better to use - jsp:useBean or import statement

    Hi,
    I just want to know that which one is better to use jsp:useBean or import statement .
    I can instantiate and call method of myclass -
    1) by importing the class through import tag in jsp as <%@page import="myclass"%. or
    2). by using <jsp:useBean tag....
    i have these two option to do the same thing. i know that basically useBean is used to call setter and getter method of bean class and but it can be used to call a normal java file that have some logic .
    so what should i used , which one is better and why?
    useBean provides scope and object instance so no need to create object by new operator. and with import you have to create an instance .
    but which tag should i use in my jsp?
    i am confused???

    ok, means i can use jsp:useBean tag for all my
    classes that are not actually bean. so it will be
    instantiated at run time and provide efficiency .No. Jsp:useBean is used for java bean components.
    >
    but when should i use import statement in my jsp and
    it happen at translation time so will it create any
    type of burden for my code if i import multiple
    classes.For non-java beans, you need to import the classes, period.
    It's not a burden, it's a necessity.
