How to convert an anchor point to have a single control point...

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to convert an existing anchor point on a path from a dual control point with directional handles either side of the point to a single control point with one directional handle?
In Illustrator this is easy, all you do is drag one directional handle into the anchor point and it deletes that handle leaving just the other handle to control the shape.
In Photoshop this appears to be much harder to achieve as dragging the handle into the anchor point doesn't work and no matter what combination of keyboard shortcuts I've tried I'm not able to get rid of just one of the handles.
I am able to achieve what I want by splitting the path then Alt clicking on the end point of the path but this strikes me as being really clumsy compared to Illustrator's perfect solution. Even InDesign works better, as you just Alt Click on the directional handle once and it deletes it.
What seems totally bewildering is why all these pieces of software (made by the same people) work differently?

Yes it seems your suggestion to drag the directional point so that it sits directly on top of the anchor point is the best one can do. It doesn't actually delete the direction point like it does in AI merely makes the direction point so small it doesn't actually do anything. Not ideal really.
Maybe all the separate development teams should meet up for a coffee some time and just iron out all these indifferences, I reckon they could get it done in an afternoon, I'd be happy to write them a list. And don't even get me started on how the Workspaces differ from app to app!

  • How to convert all anchors in Illustrator to corners?

    How can i convert all anchors in Illustrator to corners? "Convert selected anchor points to corner" function does not work or i might not use it properly.
    i use Direct Select tool on half of the object points and click on "CSAPC" - and it does not do anything.
    does any one knows how to do that?

    Woohooo! it works!!
    found how to use scricps just before your answer.
    hade to use 1% for the script - why does it do a funny thing to the object when you use 100%?
    script also breackes the line but not the path.

  • How to convert Hi8 to iMac? Have 2 video cameras: Sony CCD-YRV98 video Hi8 and Panasonic SDR-SW20 digital video. Please provide the steps to convert to iMovie '11. Also, is there a way to burn in blu-ray?

    I already have two video cameras. One older (Sony) in Hi8 and the less older one (Panasonic) which is digital. Between the two can it be accomplished to transfer the Hi8 video on tapes to iMovie?
    I have the newer iMac 21.5" and also would like to know if it is possible to record this on blu-ray. The iMac didn't come with iDVD, which means I have to get that uploaded. Any other suggestions?

    Sony Hi8 camcorder
    No it is an Analog Camera - and have NO Digital-Out
    I may be made a Wrongful assumption in that the - Panasonic digital camcorder - was a Digital 8 Camera.
    If it is - it has a Digital Out (FireWire) and can playback the Hi 8 tapes from the other Camera.
    If it is a miniDV Camera - it also have a FW-out (Digital out) - BUT can not play Your Hi 8 tapes.
    Then there are not so many ways to do this.
    If Your Panasonic digital camcorder - Has Analog in RECORDING ( not all have this, it was an EXTRA Cost ! ) - Then You can playback from the Hi 8 Camera to this and record onto a miniDV tape - to be played and Captured/Imported into Your Mac.
    The Panasonic digital camcorder - Might have a feature - Play trough - that makes it possibly to use it as an Analog - Digital bridge - some can do this - But You've not told the exact type/no: etc - So I can not guess.
    If this still do not work (The Panasonic digital camcorder do not have an Analog in connection/function)
    - Then You need an Analog/Digita Converting box - from Hi 8 to this A/D-box then to Mac via FireWire.
    There are several types and prices - I got a fairly expensive box due to that I've lot's of old VHS tapes in even bad quality. And this - Canopus ADVC-300 - has a function - Timebase Correction - that helps a lot in regard to drop outs and Audio slowly going out of sync. I just keeps perfect even over several Hours of VHS-tapes.

  • How to convert HD movies that I have bought to SD so that I can play them on my iPod Classic?

    I want to sync the new movies I have bought to my ipod classic but it wont let me. I think it is because I have them in HD. I bought them without realising that the ipod classic wouldnt sync them, and I dont want to buy them again. Is there any way of getting them on my ipod?
    Thanks

    If the videos are in your iTunes, you can right-click the video to highlight it, and then select "Create iPod or iPhone Version". iTunes will automatically convert the video to iPod compatible format. When the conversion process has completed, sync the new version to your iPod.

  • Convert an array of strings into a single string

    Hi
    I am having trouble trying to figure out how to convert an array of strings into a single string.
    I am taking serial data via serial read in a loop to improve data transfer.  This means I am taking the data in chunks and these chunks are being dumped into an array.  However I want to combine all elements in the array into a single string (should be easy but I can't seem to make it work).
    In addition to this I would also like to then split the string by the comma separator so if any advice could be given on this it would be much appreciated.
    Many Thanks
    Ashley.

    Well, you don't even need to create the intermediary string array, right? This does exactly the same as CCs attachment:
    Back to your serial code:
    Why don't you built the array at the loop boundary? Same result.
    You could even built the string directly as shown here.

  • Cisco asa control point 100%

    Hi All,
    What does the 100% below means. Does it indicate that the system is currently under huge cpu intensive load ?
    Current control point elapsed versus the maximum control point elapsed for:
          5 seconds = 100.0%; 1 minute: 100.0%; 5 minutes: 100.0% Current control point elapsed versus the maximum control point elapsed for:
          5 seconds = 100.0%; 1 minute: 100.0%; 5 minutes: 100.0%

    Hello,
    Yes. It may be. However, you can check the output of Show CPU usage. Normally if the control Point is under 100% the ASA mostlikely would be too.
    Have in consideration the following bug:
    https://tools.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCtl91471
    If you need further assistance, use the show process CPU usage sorted and paste it here, or open a TAC case.

  • How to Convert Date to Month in Database which is pointing to EBS, Not DWH.

    Hi Friends,
    We are planning to create reports in OBIEE and the Source is EBS. That means, we don’t want to depends on Datawarehouse and Informatica and OBIApps. We just create some reports and they are pointing to EBS database.
    For testing purpose, we have taken one HR Report and it containsthe below columns:
    Month (Dim)
    Revenue Per Employee Headcount (Fact)
    Average Cost per Active Workforce Headcount (Fact)
    In my little investigation, we found that Revenue column is coming from EBS: GL_BALANCES. And we configured W_Day_D base table in DAC as there is no Month column in EBS (Not sure).
    *** Coming to my problem, how can I call Month column in my database pointed to EBS. How to convert Date to Month in my database.
    I could be wrong but anyone please look into this issue.. How can I create columns for that exact OBI report in EBS database instead of DwH.
    Thanks in Advance..
    Raghu Nagadasari

    Hi Veeresh,
    You are right. Here, no need of using W_DAY_D table, but, we need all the stuff from the table and to explain my problem i have taken that table as an example. Now, we ran scripts for W_MONTH_D and W_DAY_D tables with EBS columns. So, we are getting data for the tables. In the same manner we have to create scripts for the below tables.
    W_GL_ACCOUNT_D
    W_GL_OTHER_F
    W_STATUS_D
    W_MCAL_DAY_D
    W_EMPLOYMENT_STAT_CAT_D
    W_WRKFC_BAL_A
    W_DAY_D (Completed)
    W_MONTH_D (Completed)
    But, we are not aware of EBS Tables and their columns much. So, we are back tracing from RpD --> DAC --> Info --> EBS for each and every column and its taking much time.
    So, if anyone of you facing the same issue, please share the EBS tables for the corresponding OBI tables, which are mentioned above.

    I recently bought, from the original website of Adobe, Photoshop elements 13. However, when I go with my mouse pointer over the menu, It hangs or he works very slow. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it? I have already downloaded updates, both from Adobe and Windows. I have a new pc with window 8.1.

    It could be a coincidence, but I rebooted the machine and (knock on wood) PSE13 seems to be working ok.

    Thank you

    So it seems from reading the COMMAND manual that my first issue is that I used a 16GB SD card, and the manual says it will only recogize up to a 2GB SD card. I did use my MB Air's SD card slot and crated a folder and dragged the music files to it, then to the card. So I am going to get a 2GB card and try that next. Otherwise just stick with the iPOD connected. At least that is 8GB

  • How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    The Guest Network function of the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme cannot be enabled when the device is in Bridge Mode. Unfortunately, with another router...the Telus...upstream on your network, Bridge Mode is indicated as the correct setting for all other routers on the network.
    If you can replace the Telus gateway with a simple modem (that performs no routing functions), you should be able to configure either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme....whichever is connected to the modem....to provide a Guest Network.

  • How do i see how many points i have in this forum system?

    How do i see how many points i have in this forum?
    I will give points to best answer

    hi Debbie!
    Go to your public profile link, next to your status level you will see your total points.
    hmmmm. one quirk. if people don't actually have a status level yet, i don't see a points tally if i look at their public profiles. (not sure how it looks to a poster without a status level if they look at their own public profile.)
    if you've got a relatively small number of posts (and don't have a status level yet), it's possibly to do a manual count by checking through your My Posts (by opening each post in there and checking for any yellows or greenies.)

  • How will Aperture treat Nikon raw images which have been enhanced using Capture NX2 software?  Some are cropped and "developed" and some have been enhanced using the control point technology.  I have NIK sw as a plug-in in aperture.

    How will Aperture treat Nikon raw images which have been enhanced using Capture NX2 software?  Some are cropped and "developed" and some have been enhanced using the control point technology.  I have NIK sw as a plug-in in aperture.

    Actually, there is a Nik/Nikon connection — but I am pretty sure it is irrelevant to the OP's question. The connection is that Capture NX2 was written as a joint venture between Nikon and Nik. (The name similarity is a coincidence.)
    Capture NX2 is a cool program that incorporates the features of Nik's Viveza and Nikon's Raw processing engine, along with some other powerful image adjustment features. It provides, like Aperture, a losses workflow. Unlike Aperture, the adjustments (Edit Steps in C-NX terminology) are saved in the original NEF file along with the un-altered raw data. Multiple versions can be saved in a single NEF.
