I need help with Pro Tools

Hello I have Pro Tools m powered 8. I need an apple to do what i need to do.Just a Couple of tracks nothing real heavy. I dont have much money so Im considering a G5 cause I cant really afford a new mac. If I get a g5 which one is the best? I cant get quad..people want as much as a new mac. will a 1.6ghz with some up grades make do for now??? thank you.

Hey Ted,
I love my G5 as much as the next guy, but why not simply get a mini? They are great computers, cheap, and would keep you modern in terms of cpu power & efficiency. But I guess that assumes you have no external gear that requires a PCI slot. PCI needed?

  • Need help with Patch Tool in CS5

    I am having a problem using the patch tool in Photoshop CS5. I click on the Patch Tool and select the Source option from the upper tool bar. Then I circle a gray area in the background of my photo and, holding down the left mouse button, I drag the selection to a black area in the background and release the mouse button. Instead of turning the selected area black it just makes the area slightly darker than it was originally. I just don’t understand why I can’t use the patch tool and any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you very much for these suggestions. Robert

  • Totally frustrated. Need help with type tool in CS2.

    Must start by admitting I'm embarrassed to have to even find myself asking this question. . . But after working with PageMaker since Ver. 2.0 in the early '80s, finally was forced to switch to CS2 when I had to replace my Mac/Intel computer 3 (or was it 4 years ago?). Did so fighting and cursing all the way, and I'm still having trouble typing in Photoshop . . . not just today, but EVERY TIME I sit down to work on a project.
    Most are brochures and display ads, and though friends and colleagues insist my real problem is that I should be setting them up in InDesign, I'm convinced it's easier to work on graphics and text simultaneously in Photoshop.
    My problem is in grabbing text blocks in order to edit them. Occasionally I'm able to highlight the text I need, but usually I keep getting new type layers instead. I know it should not be this difficult, but as soon as I select the text with the cursor, I get a new, empty text box.It doesn't seem to matter if I am in the layers or edit mode.
    I may not be the most technically advanced Adobe user, but I'm not stupid. What the heck am I doing wrong? Can someone please steer me right?

    Try this on for size:
    Type Tool Tips for Photoshop
    Most folks understand how to create text in Photoshop. You select the Type Tool from the Toolbox, or you tap the "T" key on your keyboard. Then, in the Character Palette you set the attributes for font, color, size, etc. A simple click in your document window will mark the spot where you may begin typing unbounded "point" text. Or, you click and drag in your document window to create a paragraph text box. Type out your text, then tap your "Enter" key to commit the text to its new layer.
    It's pretty straightforward, and Photoshop offers a decent set of tools to adjust how your text looks. One hitch that long-timers will tell you about, though: It's generally accepted that Photoshop isn't the best application to be using if you have to have to create a lot of text because it doesn't have all of the adjustment functions necessary to produce large amounts of professional-quality text. Well, the real world being what it is, sometimes, and for some users, Photoshop is the only application they have to work with; might as well make the best of it, right?
    So, once you have text entered onto a layer in your document, how do you then reselect iteither all of it or just a portion and navigate through it easily? What follows will answer some of those questions.
    Note: The keyboard shortcuts that follow assume you are using a Mac. If you're using Windows, substitute the CTRL key for "Command."
    Double-Click on the boxed 'T' thumbnail on the desired Text Layer in the Layers Palette. This will select and highlight all of the text on that layer.
    Then, if you want, you can use some keyboard shortcuts to move the "Blinking Bar" Type Tool cursor through the text.
    Assuming that your text is enclosed in a click-and-dragged out paragraph text box--When all text is highlighted:
    "Home" key will move cursor to the beginning of first line of text.
    "End" key will move cursor to the end of last line of text.When text is NOT highlighted, but cursor is flashing within the text:
    "Home" key moves cursor to the beginning of the line it's in.
    "End" key moves cursor to the end of the line it's in.
    Command + "Home" moves cursor to beginning of first line of text.
    Command + "End" moves cursor to end of the last line of text.
    Shift + "Home" selects text from cursor position to the beginning of the line it's in.
    Shift + "End" selects text from cursor position to the end of the line it's in.
    Shift + Command + "Home" selects text from cursor position to the beginning of the first line of text.
    Shift + Command + "End" selects text from cursor position to the end of the last line of text.Arrow keys can also be used to select text in various ways. When your cursor is flashing within the text:
    Shift + Right Arrow cumulatively selects text one character or space at a time, from cursor position, progressing toward the end of the text.
    Shift + Left Arrow cumulatively selects text one character or space at a time, from cursor position, progressing toward the beginning of the text.
    ⇒ Add the Command key to select whole words at a time, in either direction.
    Shift + Up Arrow selects text from cursor position back to the next line above the cursor.
    Shift + Down arrow selects text from cursor position forward to the next line below the cursor position.
    ⇒ Add the Command key to select text starting from the cursor position, and accumulating either back to the beginning of the first line, or forward to the end of the last line.
    That covers most of what (or more than) you need to know to navigate through and highlight text. There are some other key combos, and now that you have an idea of what to do, I'll let you experiment and discover them on your own.
    Type Tool Visual Indicators
    Keep a close eye on your Type Tool cursor as you move it near to and away from a hunk of text in your document window.
    When you see it as a plain old "I-Bar" cursor⇒
    ⇒...that means that it's ready to select a position within that text, or to select a hunk of that text.
    When you see a "boxed I-Bar" cursor⇒
    ⇒...that means your cursor is outside of the selectable area for the current text, and is ready for you to click (to start right in typing some unbounded point text) or click-n-drag (to create a paragraph text box). This will, of course, create a new text layer.
    How can you get a visual indicator of where that selectable area for current text begins and ends without blindly moving your Type Tool cursor around the text? Double-Click on the "Boxed-T" thumbnail in the Layers Palette. The text for that layer will become highlighted in your document window. See the black area that surrounds the text? That shows you the actual space occupied by the characters. If your Type Tool cursor is inside this area, it will display the plain "I-Bar" cursor. If it's outside of that area, it will display the "Boxed I-Bar" cursor.
    Want to FORCE Photoshop to create a new Type Layer, even though you're seeing the plain I-Bar cursor?
    Hold the SHIFT key, then either click, or click-n-drag out a paragraph text box.

  • Need help with Pen Tool Stroke.

    Hello,
    Since my friends have been trying to teach me how to make swirls using the pen tool and stroke, i've been the only one who cannot do it. I make a path with the pen tool, I right click then click Stroke path however, it just seems to do nothing. I get the option but when I click on it, it doesn't do what its meant to. I am doing it exactly how my friends are doing it too, thats whats frustrating. I have had so many problems with Photoshop, im a beginner. 
    I have been able to resolve this problem by clicking on Paths on the right to the layers, but I can't use the simulate pressure feature, unless there is another way.
    Also, if there is any tutorials anyone could link me? Im hoping to set up a business when im old enough, for creating logos and facebook covers and im not sure how to go about this.
    Thanks guys
    (I use Photoshop CS6 on Windows 7 from Creative Cloud without a tablet.)

    Hi,
    Have you installed the latest updates for photoshop cs6 by going to Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6?
    Resetting the photoshop preferences might possibly help as well:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
    If you use the method that you mention where you do it from the paths panel (right click on the path thumbnail in the paths panel) and then click on the Simulate Pressure, you also have to have
    one of the pressure options enabled in the the Brush panel (Window>Brush) such as under Shape Dynamics>Size Jitter and then set the drop-down to Pen Pressure before using Stroke Path.

  • Need Help With Lasso Tool..........Plz

    Hi  I am doing a business card layout and I have an image to place into my document which will be placed on a gradient pattern.  I need to use the lasso tool on the image to place it into my document.  However, the lasso tool is picking up too many jagged lines from the image.  When I place the image in my document you can see the jagged edges on the outline.  How can I correct the image to not have jagged edges on the outline.  I have tried everything.  Thanks.

    Go to File>new>blank file. Duplicate the background layer, and apply the gradient.
    Open the car picture file, select the car using one of the selection tools, go to Edit>copy to place it on the clipboard
    Go back to the gradient file, go to Edit>paste. The car will be on its own layer
    Access the move tool, position the car and resize using the corner handles of the bounding box

    This screen shot shows 2 boats on a complex background - see red arrow pointing to the photo bin.
    These were selected and placed via the recipe above. The layers are included for your reference.
    To make the subject blend into the background so that it does not look fake (as it does here), make Layer 1 active. Press CTRL on the keyboard and left click on the layer thumbnail..Go to Select>refine edge and adjust feather to suit.

  • Hello, I need help with my macbook pro. It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, use the migration assistant or click the lock to make changes, it simply does not react.

    Hello, I need help with my macbook pro.
    It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, I simply get stuck during the installation type process. I put in my password, it does accept it, but it does not go any further.
    I tried to reset the password, put no password, repair the permissions, the disk but nothing will do. I nearly got stuck with the log in screen but finally succeeded in disabling it.
    So I thought I might try to create a new account but I cannot click the lock to make changes. It simply refuses to react.
    I am now thinking about using the migration assistant to save all my settings, data and so fourth, but again I get stuck when I have to type in my password. It accepts it but nothing happens...
    I guess it has something to do with the authorization process, but can't find anything on the internet about it... Can you help me out?
    I am running Lion 10.7.3.
    Regards,
    Nicolas.
    (I apologize if any grammatical/structural mistakes were to be found, english is not my mother-tongue. )

    You probably won't like this suggestion, but I suggest you reinstall Lion.
    First, backup your system. Next, reboot your system, press/hold the COMMAND-R keys to boot into the Recovery HD. Select 'Reinstall Mac OS X'. If you purchased Lion as an upgrade to Snow Leopard, the reinstall process will install Lion 10.7.3. If your system came preinstalled with Lion, you might still get Lion 10.7.2. Both installs are a total install of the OS. None of your apps or data will be impacted. Just the OS.

  • Need help with Installing Canon LBP 2900B on Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8

    I know this is going to sound silly, but really need help with this, URGENTLY!!!
    Bought a Canon LBP2900B printer more than a year ago, and was using it on my MacBook Pro with OSX Snow Leopard (10.6.8) very well. My hard disk recently crashed and now I cannot reinstall the printer, nor can I find the driver for it anywhere for the Mac.
    Have searched all the forums and followed all discussion threads on the Apple Communities as well, but none of the solutions seem to work. Even went back to @Dexter's solution with trying to download the file from the link http://boolet.free.fr/CAPT.zip (this is what I had done when I bought the printer, and it worked perfectly) but the link doesn't exist anymore.
    Extremely grateful if anyone can put up a solution to this, or alternatively, IF ANYONE HAS THE OLD CAPT.ZIP FILE AND CAN UPLOAD IT.
    Thanks in advance. Look forward to your solutions.
    Cheers

    Depends on how the partitons are arranged. If they're exactly as quoted, then yes.
    Open Disk Utility and select the partition tab.
    In the diagram, the top partition needs to be the one you're booted from, and partition 2 the middle one.
    Select Partiton 2 so that it's highlighted, and click the '-' button below the diagram.
    Drag the bottom right corner of partition 1 down to meet partition 3.

    For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
    For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).

  • Need Help with the Clone Tool

    I need help with the clone tool, in that when I clone (let's say grass as example),  the new cloned area does NOT come out as sharp as the area selected.  It comes out much softer and somewhat blurred.  I have the opacity and flow both set at 100%.  This is very frustrating since I can not get a true clone.

    what "tip" do you have selected? where are you sampling from ( found in top option bar) ALSO make sure MODE is normal
