How good is this PSE6 feature?

"Make selections in a snap (New)
Take advantage of new technology that lets you make image selections in just seconds so you can easily adjust specific areas of a photo. Simply brush your selection, and then use sliders to make the adjustment blend perfectly with the background."
So says Adobe at their home site. Does it really work this well?

Jack,
I downloaded the trial last night and tried just this feature. It worked
awesomely (is that a word?) on my little laptop with only 512K of RAM.
Just a little tweaking afterwards. Very cool.
I had no problems with the dark background on my laptop. I could see the
brushes just fine.
I recommend downloading the trial and seeing how you like it.
One "bug" - if you select the move tool, you find you can't nudge (use
the arrow keys) unless you ctrl-T - then nudgin works.

IPAD 6.0 (MD519C/A) wifi,cellular - how good is this model?

I would like to buy Apple iPad with Retina display (MD519C/A), 16GB, WiFi, Cellular 4G, White from Staples.ca. I would like to know if anyone has used this model and how good is this. Also, whether it's unlocked or not? I want to send the ipad to Bangladesh and the customer representative at Staples was not sure whether that is unlocked or not. I would like to know if it would work there.
I have pasted the URL for this ipad. Thank you.

Without checking myself, just be aware that the iPad OS generally only provides error signals that are relevant. It wouldn't seem relevant to report on a missing SIM with Cellular turned off, and I'd therefore expect that you wouldn't see that message after having done so.
Don't turn on Airplane Mode, however (that's what's shown by the "little airplace icon") as that also shuts down your wifi.
And yes, with Cellular off it just says "iPad" there on the status bar, exactly as described in your User's Guide and other locations.

Research panel randomly pops up - how to DISABLE this unwanted feature ?

EXCEL does this randomly - slows the computer to a crawl - I have to close EXCEL and restart computer to get 10 minutes of work done in EXCEL... HOW DOES ONE DISABLE forever, in all applications, ESPECIALLY EXCEL, this unwanted "RESEARCH"
feature ???
This is so annoying and I have found dozens of folks who have posted the same problem, but cure/fix has surfaced from MICROSOFT...
Microsoft, are you listening ? How do I stop RANDOM pop-ups in EXCEL ??

Hi
I'm sorry to hear that the "research" feature annoyed you so much. Let me help you with the issue.
Go to File>Option>Trust Center>Trust Center Settings>Privacy Options>Cancel the selection "Allow the research pane to check for and install new service".
I have tried it in my computer, it worked well.
Some of our customers solve the problem by more methods below, we can also refer to it:
1.Add/Remove Programs ---> Microsoft Office ---> Add or Remove Features ---> expand Office Tools ---> disable Research Explorer Bar
2.Press Alt-F11 to open the VB Editor. Press Ctrl-G to open the Immediate Window.Type this line and press Enter:
Application.CommandBars("Research").Enabled = False

How good is this software?

Years ago I remember playing with Sound Edit Pro on my LC III. Since then I bought SoundMaker (which still runs in classic).
This software may be overkill is all I really need a sound editor for is my website. I do not do professional video. My needs are far more than what the built in garbage provides with Mac/Windows but not enough for professional software.
So what do you guys use this software for? Is it film? Radio?

This is great software for using with a website. I use STPro for both audio and film scoring. I am a webmaster. I am currently using STPro for my fourth self-produced music CD. My last CD was done in a really good studio with Pro Tools. I was ready to buy Pro Tools, but I had Sound Track and started trying it out. With the upgrade to STPro, there is nothing in Pro Tools I can't do in STPro except record multiple tracks in. (Since I do mostly vocal, guitar and overdubs this is unimportant for me.)
I don't have crashes, mixes that sound different, or other problems. It took me a while to learn the basics of reverb and compression/limiting, but the info is there to read in the manuals. The presets save me lots of time. The ability to use my keyboard (M-Audio49e) in Garageband to access the software instruments and then bring them back into STPro has been wonderful. I have been recording on the Mac since 1999.
The key has been this forum. I have learned so much thanks to all the Pro's who volunteer their time. I hope this helps you figure out if STPro is what you want to use.

How good is this Laptop?

Im looking for a new laptop because I will be starting college in a few months. Im looking for a good school computer but also a good gaming one for my spare time as well. This is the laptop I was looking at:
HP - 15.6" Pavilion Laptop - 6GB Memory - 750GB Hard Drive
SPECS:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+15.6%22+Pavilion+Laptop+-+6GB+Memory+-+750GB+Hard+Drive+-+Steel+Gra...
Here's the website for the specs because of the quantity of material in it, it would be to much for me to write down.
But I can say that it has a 2.5GHz processor, 16GB RAM, 750GB Hard Drive Size, AMD Radeon HD 6620G graphics, Up to 3061MB video memory, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, ETC!!!

This computer, although a good one, has integrated graphics that uses shared system RAM for video memory. As such, it will not be a great gaming machine. It will perform superbly for your school work and realted functions, but gaming will not be as good. It does have a very good processor and a good graphics solution, but it is integrated graphics and not discrete.
A very good all round laptop, just not a great gaming machine. Casual gaming will be pretty good, but running the latest games at high rame rates probably isn't going to happen.
If you can live with that, it is a good deal.

How good is this new MCE hard drive?

Has anyone heard of this new hard drive from MCE? I guess it allows you to install another hard drive into your MacBook Pro. This is the link... http://www.mcetech.com/optibay/. What are the negative issues this could bring up? Heat issues im guessing...
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Yeah, I would love to hear from anyone who has done this...! I think the idea is great, but have no idea the impact on heat and battery life! I wonder, if the heat and battery issues are negligible, how great this setup could be with the forthcoming Time Machine (Leopard!)...!

Lost iPhone - how good is the PIN protection?

My iPhone was recently stolen and I'm concerned about the data that I had on it. The phone was PIN protected. How good is this PIN protection? Is it possible someone can recover the data from the phone without knowing the PIN?
Given in the UK if a phone is stolen its completely useless since the IMEI is blocked on all networks, I assume that it can still be used in an ipod touch type fashion? Is that so?

In regards to the iPhone's passode lock feature, if someone knows what they are doing and has the proper tools/utility, an assigned passcode lock can be bypassed - just as if someone wants to break in to your house or vehicle that is locked - where there is a will, there is a way.
Doubtful whoever stole your iPhone is interested in your data. If you had the erase data feature enabled, which completely erases the iPhone after 10 failed passcode attempts, you are covered there.

How good is the SAMPLE function?

I need to get a sample set from a database. Thankfully, ORACLE in the modern versions provides the SAMPLE function which does exactly that. Now, my question is how good is this function? As in, would the SAMPLE function pass the random number certification tests? If so, how do we test that?
~SB

Hello,
The SAMPLE function lets you select from a random sample of data from the table, rather than from the entire table. It depends what option or attribute you are using with
BLOCK : attempt to perform random block sampling and possible only during full table scans or index fast full scans.
sample_percent: specify the percentage of the total row or block count to be included in the sample and value must be in the range .000001 to, < 100. This percentage indicates the probability of each row, or each cluster of rows in the case of block sampling, being selected as part of the sample. .
SEED seed_value: return the same sample from one execution to the next. The seed_value must be an integer between 0 and 4294967295.
More information and examples can be found under ORacle 11g documentation

What is this hidden "feature" in mobile Safari for and how can I use it?

OK, one day, like any geek would, I was in the car messing with my iPod touch. I was playing in Safari, typing in email addresses and such to get the exciting "WARNING - PHISHING SITE" screen. So I then tried typing "/" into the address bar, and when I hit "go", something interesting happened. The "/" changed to "file:///", and it tried to load it, but then popped up with an error message that said "This page could not be opened because it is a local file". Now I'm not new to the "file:///" thing, and I've used it to access folders using Chrome that Explorer wasn't showing for some reason. So, what if that tag used for? Obviously Apple has a use for it somehow since they included a little shortcut to get to it. I'll post some screenshots below so you can see what everything looks like:
So if this happens to have any use at all, I'd like to know about it!
I also asked this question over here: http://lockergnome.net/questions/157444/what-is-this-hidden-feature-in-mobile-sa fari-for-and-how-can-i-use-it

That is a shortcut for opening a file locally stored on the iPod. This is not really useful since iOS does not permit such access to its file sustem.

I have a Macbook Pro 15" that is three and a half years old. Although it has slowed a bit, it still runs well and runs every program I need. Any tips for how to keep this old computer running well and in good health?

I have a Macbook Pro 15" that is three and a half years old. Although it has slowed a bit, it still runs well and runs every program I need. Any tips for how to keep this old computer running well and in good health?
I have a 250 gig drive and try to keep at least 100 gigs unused at all times, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory, back up with Time Machine and CrashPlan, and have OS X 10.7.3.
This was my first Mac since an old Apple II GS. After that I used PC's and got really good at reformatting, replacing drives, reinstalling, defragging, resolving software conflicts, etc. Since switching back to Macs (five in my extended family now), I haven't had to do any of those things. So, although, the cost is three times as much, the aggrevation has been ten times less.
I'm retired and living on a fixed income and would therefore like to keep this computer running as opposed to constatntly upgrading.
That said, any tips?
Thanks
It does have a crack on the left of the screen case about 3/4'' up from the bottom. I've posted that as another question.

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Adding more RAM, if feasible, and a new, faster hard drive may also help pep it up a little.

Safari has added this stupid feature to bookmarks called cover flow and it covers up my list of bookmarks so I cannot edit/rearrange them. How do I get rid of the black, useless space in bookmarks, bring back bookmarks manager?

How do I get rid of this annoying feature in Safari known as cover flow which appears as a balck void in bookmarks? the bookmarks manager is nowhere to be found and now I'm going to Google instead of Safari.

Move the mouse pointer to the bottom of the black area.
Mouse pointer should turn into a hand pointer.
Double click.
The Cover Flow should shrink into small black strip at the top.
To revert back, move the mouse pointer to the black strip at the top.
When the pointer turns into a hand pointer, double click.

When I'm on an email FF stops me from linking to other pages/sites. Requires that I press Allow. This started recently. How do I disable this annoying feature?

When I am reading an email that I received and want to follow a link in that email, FF prevents me from doing so. It shows a new pane informing me that FF has prevented me from following the link. If I click the "Allow" button in the upper left-hand corner, I am then linked through.
This does not happen when I am on a particular website. In that case I have no trouble navigating the indicated links.
FF Preferences does not give me a way to disable this annoying feature that slows me down.
This problem started recently - possibly the last two weeks. It recurs whenever I use FF.
How can I disable this annoying "feature"?

You're welcome

I was able to drag and drop songs from iTunes in to Garage Band so I could slow them down to learn how to play them. Since the newest version of iTunes came out I no longer can. Is this a feature that I can turn back on?

I was able to drag and drop songs from iTunes in to Garage Band so I could slow them down to learn how to play them. Since the newest version of iTunes came out I no longer can. Is this a feature that I can turn back on? I really would like to continue to utlize that feature because it makes learning to play songs easier. Any help would be appericated.

To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

Just brought home newly purchased MacBook Pro 15"/Maverick/Retinal Display. To my astonishment, there is NO DVD slot! No one in the store told me about this missing feature. Intolerable, How does one install software? Insert CDs to copy for iTunes?Do I have to purchase an external DVD drive? Is one even available? What a crock!

I’ve owned Macs since 1990 (IICX my first), mostly desktops. Having had DVD/CD drives in all my previous laptop Macs since 2001 - (2) G4 Powerbooks, A 17” Mac Book Pro - and also inspecting a friend’s year-old Mac Book Pro which had the DVD slot - unless someone told me at purchase, I had no reason to know that the Retina display version of the 15” had NO DVD drive. ANYHOW, I fully intended to buy the non-Retina display version, because it was cheaper. Unfortunately by the time I got to the Apple store they were no longer selling the non-Retina display version; all versions were ONLY with the Retina display. And the fine distinction of a DVD vs. a non-DVD drive was not pointed out. So now I have to shell out an additional $80 bucks for an external SuperDrive.
