How to use "redefine edge" tool?

I've seen the tutorial and the video about this tool where he taps and hold for a second or so to activate the function.... But it does not work... It paints normally and comes back to the same. Can anyone help. Is there a manual coming? Some keys I have no idea what mean.

Hi KingR2,
Refine edge works really well for selecting shapes that have very textured edges (like grass, leaves, hair, or fur). If all you want is to get a soft-edged selection, you should make your selection and then tap the Selection menu and choose Feather. The larger the Radius you use, the softer the selection edge will become.
To really get a good view of your soft edge try this:
Make a selection.
Use the Refine Edge or the Feather feature depending on the subject matter.
While the selection is still active, tap the Add Layer button and choose Layer from Selection.
To get a good look at the edges, turn off the other layers so you can only see the one you just created.
Here is a good example of when Refine Edge works most effectively. Compare the edges where the horse's mane and whiskers appear:
I hope this helps,
Luanne

How to use the mesh tool

I am not sure how to use the mesh tool

it can be tricky! it's best to use with geometric shapes and not random figures that you create with the pen or brush tools.
so lets say you wanted to make an apple using a real picture for reference. first off, you'd place the picture of the real apple in the background. next, you would choose the circle tool to create a circle around the apple. then, you would use the mesh tool and press the center anchor to create a simple grid looking form onto the circle. grab the selection tool to move around the anchor points surrounding the apple to make a more accurate outline. after this step, it's easier to add more anchor points for the actual apple! all you must do is grab the pen tool and add more anchor points along the path and use the selection tool to move the anchor points around the apple; eventually it'll look somewhat like a 3D graph of an apple. important tip to remember, the less lines the better. but a few are okay.
so after you've graphed/mapped out your apple you're going to want to press the selection tool and use your eyedropper tool to get an accurate color of the spot/anchor you selected. the basic point of the mesh tool is to outline a picture,@ and with the eyedropper tool you can use the exact colors from the original picture you're working from. i learned this technique from class. here's my example it can be a really useful tool if it's what you're looking for.

How to use Adobe Edge Web Fonts correctly

I am a Dreamweaver newbie and am trying to learn how to use it through the tutorials. I am stuck at part 3 trying to use Adobe Edge Web Fonts correctly in my web site. As far as I can tell I have followed the instructions in the tutorial correctly, but the font style effect does not show up on my site. I am working on a Windows 7 machine and using Dreamweaver 5.5. I have copied and pasted the javascript into the correct spot in the head of the index.html page as well as included the font-family name in the CSS file and saved the whole smash. The source code for my index page looks exactly like the sample in the tutorial, and I have tried to view my site in my browser, but no dice. Doesn't display the Edge Web Font style in the web page. I believe I've done everything according to the directions, but I suppose I've missed some small detail. Any suggestions greatly appreciated

You need to add a <script> to the head of your documents like the example below. In my example, I'm using all of the aguafina-script and league-gothic fonts.

<script src="//use.edgefonts.net/aguafina-script:n4:all;league-gothic:n4:all.js"></script>
CSS:
     h1 {
     font-family: league-gothic, sans-serif;
     font-weight:bold;
     color: #639;
     font-size: 250%;
A simple way to get the correct codes is to go to Adobe Edge Web Fonts and select the font you wish to use.
https://edgewebfonts.adobe.com/fonts
NOTE: You won't see the custom web fonts displayed in Design View, Live View or when previewed locally unless you use a local testing server. An easier way to test is by uploading the page to your remote server.
Hope this helps,

How To Use CS5 Perspective Tool

Does anyone know how to place jpgs using the perspective tool without converting it to a vector? The file is too large for the web. Any tips?

I can only find one way and it is a little funky.
1. select the plane you want the picture to be on
2. then create or drag a shape to it, it can be any closed path.
3. with the shape selected go to the Draw Inside command near the bottom of the Tool Panel and select it.
4. while the Draw Inside Object is selected go to File>Place and select your image and click OK
5. You will probably have to reposition the image and perhaps resize it as well.
this is how it works and you can see from my watermark that the image in perspective
you have use the direct select or selection tool to reposition and resize the image a little tricky but work able.
this will be a feature request to make such a container for images to be used on the perspective grid.

Using refine edge tool

Followed YouTube videos etc. but I find hair selection virtually impossible. Initially put it down to my skills. But now tried on my friends machine. With great success. Even the defringe tool works beautifully on his machine but does nothing on mine. I am using a 27 in mac with a graphics tablet. Tried different brush selections in case it has something to do with the table pressures etc but no help. Any thoughts it has been suggested I reinstall but such a hassle to save and reload actions etc. when I am not sure this will help. Also often in both CS6 and bridge access to tool bars is lost my mouse will move around the screen but disappears when I try to get onto a tool selection. Please help!

Thank you so much for your response. To try and be more clear regarding the refine edge tool use. When I work on my friends MacBook. Hair selection is workable using the less is more recommendation I am able to bring hair detail into my selection with relative ease. Processed many images now and getting well practiced and matching the composites for a final image. It's the fact that everting works so well on his machine. Then on my mac the selection process just does not work anywhere nearly as well. When you get to the point of using the defringe option on his the detail is further enhanced but on mine nothing happens. There is something different going on but I have no idea what or why. When doing composites we work with either a grey or white background this helps to make selections effectively. But just this one issue.

How to use Refine Edge?

I have a square or rectangle image I want to round the corners and soften the edges when I use the refine edges box and select the feather amount (looks good) and hit OK it does not save my selection and goes back to the original image. How do I save it? Also how do I round the corners on a square or rectangle image?
Many thanks,
Diane

OK, this forum makes me feel stupid. I did say remedial ☮
I am having a hard time again. Can you help me please? It's easy to copy or cut and past with any of the marquee tools, even I can do that ☆☆☆. Why is it different for the Rounded Rectangle tool? Working on a layer then select radius and style (clear) I see the rounded edge outline then a new section in the layers pops up. 2 boxes Shape 1, ✵effects ✵stroke. They are white. I have used the ✵effects and ✵stroke before with text (only). How do I copy and past the image with the rounded edge I want? What am I doing wrong ☹
Super thanks for you help,
Diane

How to use the redeye tool in Aperture 2

Hello fellow Aperturians,
I am trying to get my head around the redeye tool. I select a photo, face, eye. I then select the redeye tool, adjust the size I want, and then click the button but nothing happens at all. If I am doing it wrong please fill me in. When I click the help menu, it comes up with no topic. Appreciate the help.
Cheers.

Select the red eye tool.
It is usually good to zoom into 100% - use the Z key.
Adjust the radius slider to only the size of the red-eye you want to remove - maybe a little tiny bit bigger.
Click on the eye - it should leave a yellow circle bullseye thing over the eye that you can see or adjust when the red eye tool is selected.
Repeat.

How to use iTunes consolidation tool

is the iTunes consolidation tool smart enough to not copy files that are already present in the destination folder?
Scenario - I have two libraries that appeared by mistake. One on my iMac and one on my Drobo. The newest library is on my Drobo. I just changed the destination drive for new music to be my iMac but now I want to move all media that appears on my Drobo over to my iMac, but I don't want to copy any media to the iMac that is already there.
Will the consolidation tool just copy the entire 450 gigs off my drobo and drop it on my iMac, or will it recognized that 445 gigs are already there and not copy them?

This is a little tricky. If iTunes knows about the files in the new location, then it will not copy them again. But if iTunes does not know about the files in the new location it will likely copy them (you'll likely end up with two copies of the files - one that iTunes knows about, and one that itunes does not know about.
Try it with one track. Select a track. "control" click on the track, and choose "show in finder". This will show you where iTunes thinks the track is. If it is in the old location, "control" click again, this time choose "consolidate files". This will copy the file to the new location. "control" click on the file again to see where itunes thinks the file is now, and if you see a duplicate. It is possible that if the file is identical it will not make a copy, but more likely it will make a copy and give it a name with a number added to the end.
If you know the drobo has everything you want, and there is not unique content on the iMac (and iTunes thinks all its files are on the drobo) you might want to delete the iMac folder, then consolidate and have everything copied over.
