How does one initially start a project as a circle?

I'm trying to start a new project however I'm new to photoshop and the only option when i go to a new project is a width and height. There is no option for radius. Does anyone know how to start a project as a circle?

I usually begin my projects with a transparent workspace denoted by the checkerboard patterned background.  And then I draw a circular shape with the Ellipse Tool inside my workspace.  Everything outside my circle will be transparent when I save my image.  See screenshot of a Twitter icon saved for web as transparent PNG.

  • How does one export a completed project to archive media?

    I just finished editing my first video with FCP-X.
    I want to be able to archive the project, in its entirety, to another drive, complete with media.  That is that all media files are included so if the client wants me to go back and make changes, updates, etc., I can just move the archived project back to my Movies folder and everthing will be right there so I can get back to work.
    Then I want to then be able to delete the finished project from my Movies folder and begin a whole new project.
    I would really appreciate some help, or if I can get pointed to in the right direction to find the instructions.
    Also, is it true that FCP-X can only work on one project at a time?

    Hi Tom,
    I have the same wish copying a project with used clips only to another drive for storage that works as independent project.
    So I executed the command “duplicate project + used clips only”  (i checked "include render files") creating a duplicate onto a second drive. When I wanted to check if the duplicated project would work independently all files were missing (I unplugged the first disk where the original project+events are stored).
    It appears that FCPX creates alias files of your media referencing to the original event on the first disk. So it still needs the original event files to work properly!!??
    My question: is there any way to really duplicate a project + really used clips (no alias) only that works INDEPENDENTLY of any other files in other locations?
    (the reason I want this is that I don’t need to store the entire original event with transcoded media being 3 times bigger than the original media that comes from my DSLR)
    Thanx a stack in advance
    Cheers

  • How does one get huey pro to start up when computer starts in morning

    Huey Pro is a sensor that measures and monitors the light in the room so that colors are rendered as acccurately as possible.  Once I calibrated the screen and device, it should fire up when I restart the computer but it dos not.  the icon in the system folder when clicked, says that the system preference folder needs to restart, the it will fire up. 
    So How does one get this to start early.
    Robert

    Hi Robert
    I am not sure that you can make the Huey Pro work correctly.Worked fine on windows but it was the one programme for me that I have never had success with on the Mac.
    I have checked the Huey web site for info but the support seems to have stopped.
    So the only way I can do it is to wait until the Icon is in the top right section of the screen,note that a white cross is in it and then click on the Icon in the dock open up the programme until the Start bit occurs then just click the close button.That fixes it for me.

    How does one ensure an automatic save function every 5 mins for any document you are working on. Yesterday I erased a doc I was on and had to rework from the start.

    Well I understand that auto save is already present and saving your doc every 5 mins. But then why do you think, this did not happen yesterday in the following case?? I wrote one page of a long document and wanted to format it before proceeding. I selected the part to be formatted and instead erased it. I could not find that page again. I had to rewrite the matter.

  • Firefox update installs, but does not apprearon screen, or task manger yet is running what is going on and how does one fix it?

    I installed the update Mozilla Firefox 28. It was suppose to launch upon completion. it did not appear on the monitor screen, nor the task manager, but was running; for when I attempted to install the older version again it, it said that Firefox was running and needed to be turned off.
    I restarted the computer and tried opening Firefox, with the same results.
    After restarting again, I attempted to reinstall the update, with the same results taking place.
    I attempted to uninstall Firefox and install the new version. The same results took place.
    In the past, I could install Firefox 27 update, only now I can't for the same thing takes place. Past a certain version (19), this event takes place, but 19 and older can install it with no problems.
    I checked Firefox troubleshooting information. All was normal. I checked my firewall. Again, all was normal. Tried Firefox reset. Did not help. Tried with my firewall disabled. Did not solve the problem.
    Ran a virus check (deep) no viruses. Checked my computer system. No errors.
    I can install updates for my other programs, even install new programs; just not Firefox.
    What is going on and how does one fix it.

    Hi Amseeking,
    Thank you for your question. From your description, you tried to install the 28 update from a version 19 installation. Did you install a fresh install of 28 successfully? Where the name of the file is"Firefox Setup Stub 28.exe"? This is what is sound like happened. When going to about Firefox and searching for updates it installs over the current installation. However if Firefox was already running, there are more than one installation.
    Updating from version 19 to 28 would not be a problem. However the user data from your previous version would have to be imported to the new installation if you have more than one install on that computer.
    An easy way to tell is to search for Firefox in the Start menu to see if more than one icon shows up in the search results.
    I hope this helps.

    I'm having problems with iPhoto and the facebook set-up.  Every time I attempt to do so it says an error has occured and try again later.  I have not seen a solution posted.  Therefore, how does one contact Apple to solve the problem?  I'm new to the world of iMac but I find it a bit frustrating trying to solve basic issues/problems:(

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa

  • How does Media Manager handle Motion Projects within the Sequence being cop

    How does Media Manager handle Motion Projects within the Sequence being copied?
    I've highlighted my sequence, opened Media Manager, and copied it to another drive. When I open up the sequence in it's new project, the rendered Motion Project plays within my sequence but it won't let me go back into this Motion Project to make changes. I tried starting over. This time I highlighted the actual motion sequence and clip that is created within FCP after sending something to Motion and copied those to the new drive. When I went into the newly created 'media' folder and double clicked on the motion project it launched. It looked liked it was going to play but while my crops moves and borders were there, the filmed material is shown as a freeze frame for the duration of the motion project.
    I did this with and without 'including master clips within selection'. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Is there anyone who knows the answer to this? Thanks.

  • Premier After Effects... How does one places the whole movie clip into AF?

    After years of using Premiere, I’m looking at using After Effects. Premiere does most of what I need (I don’t need moving graphics and titles) but the masking and rotoscoping seems to be better in After Effects. I’ve started a great video by Tom Green at school. This is probably silly question- I don’t understand is how does one places the whole movie clip into AF? I only see 30 seconds or so of the 5 minute clip on the timeline in AF.

    Ahh, thanks. I simply add more minutes (the length of the clip) into the "new composition".
    A new problem: When I try a dynamic link with premiere AE says “Failed to connect to adobe Premiere Pro Dynamic Link”, but PP will link with AE. I just installed AF last week. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall them (along with the rest of the Creative Suite)?

  • How does one get notification of weekly 99 cent movie rental?

    I've seen a number of news items saying that customer are being notified via email about a new 99 cent weekly movie rental. I get the iTunes music newsletter every Tuesday, but I see nothing about movies in it. Is there another newsletter for movies, and if so how does one subscribe to it?
    Thanks.

    Well, last week I saw one movie at this price too, so it didn't start yesterday...

  • How does one get additional RAM?

    In trying to install Snow Leopard ( OSX) which is necessary to update Itunes for my new ipod, it says I don't have sufficient RAM. How does one get RAM? Or do I have to get a new computer?

    I get all my RAM from this firm:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/iMac
    Note that difference iMac versions have different RAM requirments. They have instructions on the page showing you haw to positively identify your model (note the several links: Where do I find Model ID? ).
    The site also has video instructions showing how to install RAM. It's an easy "do-it-yourself" project. that takes maybe ten minutes.

  • How does one check for Updates...

    How does one check for Updates when :

    Menu items are greyed out! ?

    Actually, it's a timing issue. Those items are greyed out for a couple of minutes after PPro starts. A little patience and they become available. ;)

  • HOW DOES ONE HAVE B.T. BROAD BAND & TELEPHONE !!

    My argument starts with b.t. Broadband and phone, question how does one have broad band and phone if you have never ordered it in the first place, No modem means No broadband,No engineer,No Activation codes , No one has visited my home so No installation is this true !!. Yes I think so, can some one put my brain to rest.
    Right I will start from the beginning back in November 2010 I called b.t. Sales and made an enquiry about getting broadband and a telephone package installed,so then this guy in sales said i would have to set a D/D up and he would have to do a credit check on me,but i told him their was a problem ,as i did not have enough money in my bank account to set another D/D up,he then informed me he would keep the enquiry active for seven days,after this time the enquiry would be scrapped,so i never thought anymore about it,then 2 months later b.t. have started billing me, the first bill was for £130.44 the next bill was for £223.31 & to cap all that they have now instructed a debt collection company to collect £365.98 within 7 days or else,i also asked b.t. what date did & time the instalation engineer had called to my home,and the date  the package with the modem was delivered ,because you have to sign for this item i was told by the royal mail.
    Then this Saturday 25/6/2011 a woman from b.t.residential telephoned me to apologise and the matter was now closed,and they were sorry for setting this account up in the first place, next thing the same woman rang me back one hour later and said b.t. would be pursuing this matter and i should contact the debt collection ageny, i refused to pay and told her to take me to court,she also said that their were notes attached to the file and a recording made of my conversation with b.t.and me ,i asked for a copy but she asked for £10. 99 plus vat to which i refused and that stated that i had placed and order for b.t. broadband,i then said i will be seeking advice from a solicitor and would see them in court.
    Regards Jim  please comment on this matter and if anybody can advise me on this matter.

    WOW what a disater Jim,
    This is totally not your fault at all, what i would recommend is for you to contact one of the mods on this forum which you can do here http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951 
    The next thing for you to do is collate all your evidence and contact ofcom. You called BT to enqire and not take up the order so therefore ask BT to provide you with a list of account of when you called them, you have a legal right under the data protection act etc to access your data however you may have to pay a fee of £2 to £10 for your records.  Also ask for a copy of the voice recordings and or transcripts too because all calls are recorded and monitored for training purposes right!
    In any complaint, make sure you can remember the dates and times of call and also names, who did you speak to today??
    i hope this helps, the mods will help too!
