How do I make the Brush Tool remember settings for each new stroke?

Using
Windows 7 x64
Illustrator CC 2014
I'm finally attempting to draw directly in Illustrator and already want to shoot myself.
How do I make the Brush Tool remember stroke size and profile?
I need each stroke to be tapered at both ends and be a certain stroke size.
But each stroke I make, I have to edit that one path  to be correct.
What gives?

Got some results today so I'll share.
Thanks again for reminding me about the 'basic appearance setting'.

  • Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase co

    Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase completely without having to go over it multiple times?
    It started randomly about two weeks ago and I thought it was a glitch that would just go away. But now I am getting sick of using only the block eraser on one size. Help?

    The easiest thing to start with is to reset the Eraser Tool.
    Right click on the Eraser icon in the tool options bar and then click on Reset Tool.

  • How can I make the spry accordion remember the panel open when I refresh the page or jump to a new page?

    How can I make the spry accordion remember the panel open
    when I refresh the page or jump to a new page?
    I am using the accordion feature on all my pages as a
    navigation aid. It has three panels. When you refresh the page the
    panel goes back to the default pane... Is there a way of
    controlling this so that the browser can remember the pane that is
    open (say set a variable, cookie, other?)

    Look for "Set the default open panel" on the following page:
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/accordion_overview/index.html
    Keep in mind you would need to change that bit of code on
    every page. The only way to do it more dynamically would be to
    include a custom javascript or PHP/ASP style script in order to
    change the value.

    A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,

  • How can I make the popup with empty fileds and create new record?

    I would like to use a popup to create new record.
    I created a af:popup by drag and drop a VO from data control to jsff. then, I created a button and place a af:showPopupBehavior. I was able to popup window by click the button.
    however, the window filled with the information from the 1st record. and when I select a record in table and click popup, the popup is filled with that record.
    How can I make the popup with empty fileds and create new record by saving the popup?
    Thanks

    You can have edit and new buttons, in the PopupFetchEvent identify button source (using popupFetchEvent.getLaunchSourceClientId()) if new button clicked clear the binding using below code.
    If you want to see empty fields, in the popup PopupFetchEvent clear the input component bindings.
    resetBindingValue("#{bindings.<componentid>.inputValue}", null);
        public static void resetBindingValue(String expression, Object newValue) {
            FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
            Application app = ctx.getApplication();
            ExpressionFactory elFactory = app.getExpressionFactory();
            ELContext elContext = ctx.getELContext();
            ValueExpression valueExp = elFactory.createValueExpression(elContext,expression,Object.class);
            Class bindClass = valueExp.getType(elContext);
            valueExp.setValue(elContext,newValue);
        }

  • How do I use the brush tool on a video in cs6? It only stays on one frame?

    How do I get what I create with the brush tool to stay on every frame in my video? I've got some footage of a car trip and I'm trying to use the brush tool to make a super 8 looking border, but it vanishes when I play the video because its only on one frame.

    When Photoshop just won't work properly, try replacing the Preferences file by using this procedure:
    Open Photoshop and save your custom goodies. Choose Edit→Presets→Preset Manager to save sets of styles, brushes, and other such bits and pieces you created. Use the Save Actions command in the Actions palette menu to save any sets of custom Actions.
    Review your Preferences. Open Photoshop's Preferences and go through each pane, noting your preferred settings so that you can restore your work environment later.
    Quit Photoshop. You can close the program like this:
    On a Mac: Hold down Command+Shift+Option and restart Photoshop. When prompted, release the modifier keys and confirm, that yes, you do want to replace the Photoshop settings.
    On a PC: Restart Photoshop; immediately press and hold down Ctrl+Shift+Alt. When prompted, release the modifier keys and confirm, that yes, you do want to replace the Photoshop settings.

  • How do I make the line tool work again?

    Can you help me make the line tool operate properly again? I just now accidentally touched something on my keyboard. And now, when I click on the Line Tool in the Tools Panel, and then press the "x" key to toggle the color of the line tool between being black, or being white, neither options works anymore. Now, when I draw a line, it does not apply a black line to my drawing. And when I toggle and press the "x" key again, it doesn"t apply a white line to the drawing either. When the line tool is "white", and I draw a line across a black area, nothing happens. The white line tool doesn't apply to the drawing.
    When I've gone to your "help" menu, I'm instructed to press the "Object Drawing Button" in the "Tool Panel". But I've looked at every item in the "Tool Panel" and I cannot find the "Object Drawing Button"..
    Can you give me the steps that will help me make the line tool work once again?
    Thanks, Mardty Anderson

    Thank you for taking your time to respond. I'm using Adobe Photoshop
    Elements 11.
    A colleague was able to get the problem solved. He chose the "star"
    instead of the line. The star worked fine and showed up on the drawing
    I'm working on. Then he switched back to the "line". Lo and belold, the
    line worked. It's been working fine ever since. Maybe it was a bug in
    the program?
    Do you know how to use the Picture Organizer in this Photoshop program?
    I have several thousand illustrations. The Organizer seems to recognize
    some of them (like 5 or 6). But most all of them only appear as a blue
    box with a flower design in it. When I click on the blue box, more
    pictures appear, but only very quickly does a picture flash up on the
    screen, and then it disappears again.
    I wish there was a tutor here in the Tucson, Arizona area that I could
    hire who could come to our office and coach me. There are several of us
    who don't understand this Photo Organizer. Do you know of any leads in
    which we could hire a personal tutor for a morning?
    Thanks again for your kind response to my first call for help, (Miss)

  • How do you start the Brush tool from a last anchor point?

    Hi there,
    I'm somewhat almost a complete newb to Illustrator, and would really appreciate some help!
    Is there any possible way to continue a brush stroke from your last brush stroke's end point (the anchor point)? For instance, if I drew half of a circle with one brush stroke, and wanted to cleanly complete the circle by having the next brush stroke start from the point where I last finished, how would I do that?
    Any help much appreciated! Thanks!

    What tool did you use to draw? Since you said brushstroke will assume you used the paintbrush tool.
    Double click on paintbrush tool for the options. Change your settings to mine, especially the bottom 2 checkmarks.

  • How do I make the crop tool work?

    Okay, The image is in adjustment view. It has a white border around it. I checked the box that says crop on it. I hover the cursor over the corners. The cursor does not change to crop tool. When I press on the crop icon it beeps a reject sound. Not sure how to phrase that. New to Aperture. Help

    There is no "adjustment view" in Aperture.
    What happens if you double-click the image with the selection box around it?  That should take you from the Browser to the Viewer.  Then, in the Crop Brick, click the little "cropping corners" icon, and you should be able to crop.
    "c" is the shortcut for bringing up the crop tool when you are in the Viewer.  Notice that the tools in the toolstrip (on the bottom border of the viewing area) change depending on whether you are using the Browser or the Viewer.
    Strongly suggest reading the first seven chapters of the User Manual.  Aperture is a rich and complex continent, mostly submerged.  The first seven chapters provide a guide to the flora and fauna, as well as a map.

  • How can I make the lock screen stay active for longer than 5 seconds?

    I'd like to have the lock screen stay active for longer than 5 seconds.  Too many times I've not seen a notification come through.  I'd like to have it stay on for at least 5 minutes for shutting down.  I'm suprised a "lock screen delay" option isn't a general setting available to unjailbreaked phones. 

    Sorry, no.

  • How do you make a SpryMenuBar a different color for each page?

    Hey everyone. I'm new to web design and dreamweaver is definitly kicking my butt. Anyway, I'm trying to create a simple website for a foundation and I want to make each page have a different color Sprymenubar to match the color theme of the different pages. The site will only have about 6 color themes max so this shouldn't be a huge undertaking. The trouble I'm having is I have created the home page (the color green) and right now I'm working on the second page (the color blue). When I added a new sprymenubar and changed the CSS Rule to make the color of the menu blue and the hover color light blue it then changes the color of the menu on the home page from Green to Blue. How annoying! I even tried starting from scratch and inserting another horizontal sprymenubar but I can't seem to make another horizontal sprymenubar with a whole new set of rules independent from the first one. What can I do? Do I have to make an editable region or am I just not clicking a certain button to make the new menubar independent from the first one?
    Examples
    First this
    Then this
    And then this happens 
    Let me know!!

    Ok I found a similar question on this forum that was answered and helped. If anyone comes across this wondering the same thing, copy and paste your SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css file and rename the copy to something like "(Title_Of_Page)SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" and then replace "SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" in your code to <link href="../SpryAssets/(Title_Of_Page)SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" and then you are good to go.

  • How can I make the newest version of iTunes for Windows run faster?

    I know I'm not the only one when I say that iTunes is by far one of the slowest programs on my computer.  I'm running Windows 7 and running the most recent version of iTunes for Windows.  Does anyone have some tips to make it run faster and smoother?  I have Genius and Ping disabled, but I'm not quite sure what else I can do.

    The newest version of iTunes should install if you are runnig 10.7.

    Hi SalynotSally,
    I use the Weather Channel app, but shortly after I posted this problem, the weather did start showing up.  The notification center says at the bottom that the weather is provided by yahoo.  I did make sure the location services and such were on though as Diavonex recommended above.
    Good luck and hope it works for you!

  • How can I get the Index tabs to show for each page that is open in the window like on the older versions. I close a window and it says I have tabs open but the tabs are not visible. How do I set it like the older versions? This was easy to manage

    The index tabs were on some kind of toolbar just below the bookmark toolbar and you could see what was open in multiple tabs. I'm not referring to rolling over the Firefox icon for the Windows 7 thing, that's a pain. These index tabs were in plain sight. No matter what I try in Firefox 8, they won't appear.

    the tabs were move to above the navigation bar, where the menu bar was. They hardly look like tabs there, but you may have turned off the tabs bars. View (Alt>V) > Toolbars > Tabs Bar
    I think the solutions would really prefer though would be
