How can I record coordinates?

In Photoshop CS6 Extended (Win7 64-bit) how can I use the Ruler Tool to not only record the angle and length of a given measurement, but also the beginning and ending coordinates?
And on a related note, is it possible to edit the fields beneath the Label column in the Record Measurement log; e.g., rename Ruler 1 to AB, Ruler 2 to CD, etc.

As far as I know the ruler tool does  not normally record  its use in actions. When I'm recording an action record a step like make a rectangular selection with the marquee tool I see it get recorded into the action as a step. When I then the ruler tool to measure it side and diagonal I see nothing recorded adding to the selection then using the marquee tool and shift is recorded in the action. When I use the ruler tool I see in the tool option bar the starting x and y coordinates  the x width and y height differences to the end coordinate the angle to the end point and the length between the start and end points. All values in the current ruler units.  If I use the ruler and then click the Straighten Layer button in the option bar I do see a step recorded for the ruler. The step recorded is the use of the Straighten plug-in. The Plug-in is a Photoshop script written in JavaScript and resides in the required Photoshop plug-in folder "Straighten.jsx".  Its a complex script that also uses "Geometry.jsx" and "Terminology.jsx" it seems to get the x and y info perhaps you could add code into Straighten.jsx to record what you want.

    How can I record an audio sound and convert it to a ringtone?

    Record your voice using iPhone (for ringtone only 35 secs or under are valid), sync iPhone with iTunes.
    In iTunes the recorded voice is listed under Music as some_numbers.m4a.
    Right click on the item and choose Create AAC version.
    Drag the converted voice onto the desktop.
    Delete the voice copy in iTunes. (important step)
    On desktop, rename the some_number.m4a to something_more_intelligent.m4r
    Drag it back to iTunes and you will find it under Tones.
    Now select it (for sync) and connect your iPhone, do a sync.
    If everything works out, it will be in Settings > Sounds > Ringtone.
    Now choose a contact you want to assign this ringtone, tap Edit and add the ringtone.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I record an Audio Instrument (saxophone) and listen to a reference track at the same time?

    How can I record an Audio Instrument, and listen to a reference track at the same time?

    Are you using an external audio controller or the line-in and headphone jacks on the side of your computer? You shouldn't have an issue using headphones when you're recording through the line-in but you may want to make sure you have monitoring on and it's going to the right place.
    If you're using an external audio controller, try making an aggregate device combining the controller and the "built-in output" into the same device. Go to Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup, click the "+" sign at the bottom left to make a new device and check the "use" boxes to the left of the physical devices you want to use as part of that aggregate device. That is how I use the computer's speakers or headphones to monitor my input as opposed to only being able to use the output on my audio controller.
    Now that I see some of the questions on the side of this page I realize that the 13" MBPs seem to have only one combined input/output jack... That is an incredibly stupid feature. What on Earth could possibly justify that design decision? I suppose if that's the problem you're having you'll have to buy some sort of splitter (if they even make them) or get an external audio controller like an Apogee Duet or something along those lines. I would be furious if they combined those two jacks on all of the MBPs.

  • How can I record a video with LAbview?

    Hi,
    I have a question: How can I record a video with labview?
    I have a camera (AXIS 221) connected via rj45 on PC. I see the video of the camera in a browser.
    And I would to acquire the video in labview.
    Could someone help me?
    Thanks
    Raf

    Unfortunately I haven't any experience with this camera. Iguess, you should install API, then crete new VI, place ActiveX container (palette Container->ActiveX) on the Front Panel, then right mouse click, then choose Insert ActiveX object..., then found you camera object and select it and press OK. Then you probably can see image from the on the front panel. Also probably you will be able to get image data in array (how easy is it - depends from the camera API).
    If you able to see image from camera in the Internet Explorer, then another method - you can put Microsoft Web Browser as ActiveX object, then you should also see the image. Disadvantage of this method - you will be not able to get image data.

  • How can i record a song in a karaoke music track via GB?

    how can i record a song in a karaoke music track via GB?

    First plug in some headphones.
    Then drop the karaoke song into garageband. You do this by just draging and dropping the song file into garageband or if the song is in itunes just use garagebands media browser.
    Now create another track (vocal track).
    Put headphones on hit record and sing.
    This is a bit over simplifed but give it a try someone will be here when you have more specific problems.

  • How can i record iphone 4 screen no j/b?

    Hello. Not long ago I got interested how can i record my iphone 4 screen. I've tryed to mirror ipone to mac, but it didn't work! Then i've tryed to find an app that can do it, but the apss had bad reviews on them.
    Could somebody please tell me how can i record my iphone 4 screen without jailbreak?

    Correction. Reflector only works with iPhone 4s and up. The same goes for AirServer.
    The device needs support for mirroring which is only available for iPad 2, iPad Retina, iPad 4, iPad mini, iPod Touch 5, iPhone 4S and iPhone 5. But from what I know, you can record your screen with UX Recorder on iPhone 4 (but only in web browsers).

  • How can I record the MASTER BUS?

    We use Audition to record programs for airing. I would like to record the output of the effects rack (after applying a limiter, etc). How can I record the output of the Master or other Bus?

    You don't actually record it as such - you mix the master output down to a new file, which opens in Edit view where you can save it.
    So in Multitrack view, that's Edit>Mix Down to New File, and select the particular option you want. So if you only want part of a session mixed, then make an appropriate time selection, and select that option.

  • I have an Apple 3GS phone. How can I record a telephone call?

    I have an Apple 3GS phone. How can I record a telephone call?

    Sorry, not natively supported on a non-jailbroken iPhone, & there are no Apps that provide this capability for non-jailbroken iPhones. Apple is a US based company, & doing such is not legal in many parts of the US. That's why such is not supported.

  • How can I record with GarageBand 1.3 in the background using other app?

    How can I record with GarageBand 1.3 in the background using other app?
    I use iPad 2 with iOS 6 and GarageBand v1.3.
    I'd like to play an other app like Sunrizer synth while the GarageBand is recording in the background in a track.
    By now I can do it only using the build-in mic of iPad, but this is not the point.
    Can I record other apps in a GarageBand track?
    Thanks a lot for your time.

    I suspect you are probably correct about the reasoning, although there are already a myriad of ways to do that.
    Don't get me wrong - I never said I like this. But it is consistent with other Apple applications, that are similar restrictive; you cannot take a screenshot, when dvd-player is running for example.
    That are the moments, when I am glad that MacOS X is a unix system under the hood
