Individual radius settings for tools

There are several tools that use the radius settings of the eydropper tool. For example the magic wand tool or the color selection tool etc. Those tools work based on the radius of the eyedropper. Most people don`t even know that. I often read "my magic wand tool does not work correctly" and the reason is that the eyedropper is set to 101x101px. It would be much better, if all tool had individual radius settings.

klsteven, I believe Mark was agreeing with you. Sounds like an acknowledgement from Adobe that they'll give it a look anyway. And it's a logical request. It's one of those things that people who have used Photoshop since version 1 or 2 just understand and accept, but it is less than logical to most people and we shouldn't keep things the way they are for no good reason.

  • PSE9 - import / open settings for jpegs - are there any?

    Hi all,
    I'm a LR3 user mainly so have very little idea about PSE9 but my Dad's Panasonic Lumix FS10 takes all images at 180dpi and this cannot be altered.
    Is there any way of getting Elements 9 to alter the resolution that it immediately displays the images at, as unlike LR3 there doesn't appear to be any 'export' facility where you can batch export loads of images and have individual 'save' settings for each export.
    Altering each and every image to 72dpi before saving as jpeg is a complete pain in the whatnots.
    I've tried the batch convert option for all open files but it saves a copy of each file which ends up bigger than the original!
    Many thanks in advance.
    Dave.

    DPI is an arbitrary number set by the camera manufacturer.  Some cameras show 180, some 240, some none, which  is defaulted to 72.  The file size is not influenced by it.  DPI = dots per inch is only relevant for printing and should be referred to as PPI (pixels per inch).  The really important values are the pixel dimensions of an image.  Of course, the file size is also dependent on the picture quality and compression algorithms.  If you 'converted' from 180 to 72 and afterward had a smaller file size, then a additional compression must have taken place, which would have lessened the images' quality.

    Thanks for this Juergen,
    are we now heading to the "eye of the beholder" scenario though?
    If the images 95% of the time are going to be used for posting on the internet / viewing on PC monitor use (this being maxed out at 72dpi), and no image quality loss can be seen between the 2 (72dpi & 180dpi) files, the user may as well stick with the 72dpi conversions and have smaller files then?
    When the user normally then reduces the image dimensions to 1200px on the longest side, surely the 72dpi verisons will be better for them?
    Granted as I mentioned before, the images may get used for printing once in a while, but again, I use my full-sized images at 72dpi and can get pin sharp A4s out of them whenever I want.

  • I want to set Firefox to never remember history. When I do this using the tools tab and click okay, it goes right back to "Use Custom Settings for History". I don't want that.

    I know how to manage privacy using the tools tab at the top of the address bar, or so I thought. I want to choose "Never Remember History". When I do that, and click "OK", the next time I check the privacy settings, the history is right back to "Use custom settings for history". I don't want this. Also, I don't want to use autocomplete for forms, but I can't get those settings to stay, either. I basically don't want info. stored on this computer. My system was hacked several months ago, by some joker who named all my system folders a racist slur (I reported it to Norton, and a technician had a look at it). Anyway, I want to keep things as safe as possible. Please allow me to delete all my history when I close Firefox. I don't really like Google, either, because they have a reputation for not respecting people's privacy. I don't like that I didn't have an option to uncheck google's toolbar when I installed Firefox.
    Thank you.

    That is probably OK.<br />
    You may have changed one of the other history or cookie settings.
    If Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting then that is an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings are not the default to make you aware that changes were made.

  • Profile Manager Settings for Group does not display for individual members of the group

    Hi there,
    Can anyone confirm whether I am going mad or not, I and new to Mac Server and have set up Profile Manager on OSX Mavericks from scratch and have been using it successfully to deploy enterprise iPads. I have just gone to edit the profile as we wish to increase the timeout time to locking and have been greeted with something strange.
    We have all users in a Group which has settings applied for timeout, pass code change etc. however if I go to an individual account who is part of that group then it isn't showing any settings for that user and it would appear I need to set them again. Similarly if I go to a device belonging to a member of the group then its not showing any settings for that device.
    I would have assumed that if you set restrictions for a group then when you view the restrictions for a member of the group then it would be the same however it appears that you can have a separate payload for a group. Is this the case?
    I am grateful for any advice people can give me.
    Thanks again.
    Rob

    I would have assumed that if you set restrictions for a group then when you view the restrictions for a member of the group then it would be the same
    That was never the way it worked in older versions of 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 Server.
    The restrictions for a Group were shown for a Group. The restrictions for a User (alone) were shown for that User.
    And the advantage is that if you see something wrong for a single user, you might be tempted to fix it there, in that user, and when you had changed six of them, you might remember that you meant that to be a group setting after all.
    And the software to implement them separately is simpler, but YOU have to test it to find out the end results of compositing Group and User settings.

  • View settings for individual sidebar items

    Is there a way to save the view settings for individual sidebar items? For example, always have "Documents" open in list view and always have "Applications" open in column view. Finder seems to always use whatever view setting I just used previously for every Finder item (except Photos, which will always display in icon view).

    If you hold down the Command key (the one with the cloverleaf looking thingy) and click on an item a new window will open with whatever settings the item had last time it was used. If you hold down the Option key and click on an item, its window opens, with whatever settings it had, and the original Finder window closes. Otherwise just clicking an item in the Sidebar opens the item in whatever format the current window has.

  • IPhoto '11 Saved Slideshow not saving settings for individual slides

    Please, need help in iPhoto '11 with Saved Slideshows. I will try rephrasing my question as I received no answers when I posted yesterday. I create my Saved Slideshow by choosing File>New>Slideshow. It then shows up at the bottom of my Source List under Slideshows. I am trying to have individual settings for each slide: timing, transition, and Ken Burns effect. I check each box in the "This Slide" menu and type in what I want. When I exit the Saved Slideshow the first two settings are saved and as I left them, but the KB box is no longer checked. It works fine when I click "Preview." I have carefully read all the forum discussions dating back to last fall and see that I am not the only one with the problem. Like others I noticed that the KB effect won't "stick" only on certain slides, mostly Landscape images. KB settings for Portrait images seem to "hold." I'm not a novice in creating Saved Slideshows. I've done this in iPhoto '08 with no problem at all. I reported this to Apple as a possible bug. I feel like there is now no way I can make the slideshow I want to burn to a DVD to share with family and view on a TV. As far as I can tell you can't do KB effects for individual slides in the latest version of iDVD without having made a Saved Slideshow in iPhoto first. Can anyone help me? I am so frustrated.

    I am 99% sure that this has something to do with how NEF files work. If I understand them correctly, the original raw data is stored in one portion of the file and then versions of the file are stored within it (these are the 'versions' that you can make in NX2).  The versions are just whatever mathematical transformations are applied to the raw data to get the version of the image that you want to see.  It is a brilliant way to store information and many versions of photos (different sizes of crops, b/w, colour, sepia, etc...) in their highest possible resolution without taking up an inordinate amount of disk space.  The raw data are huge, but each version only adds a tiny bit to the size.
    The problem with iPhoto is that it can only see the raw data - not the metadata containing all of the transformations to get the edited version of the photo. This means that if you load the photos  into the iphoto library as nef files and then edit them with an external editor (i.e. NX2), the files will be edited, and when you open them again in NX2 from iPhoto, then you'll see the edits, but the edited version will not be visible in iPhoto. If you work with NX2 and iPhoto (as I do), you basically need to save your edited versions of files as .jpg or .tiff and then re-import them into iPhoto.  It is a bit of a pain, but I am sure that it could be fixed in a future version of iPhoto.
    Cheers.

  • Can I set individual alerts (tones) for each calendar events/ reminders

    Can I set individual alerts (tones) for each calendar events/ reminders

    Thanks On my phone, these are the options under Menu>Settings & Tools>Sound Settings>Alert Sounds: 1. TXT Message 2. Multimedia Message 3. Voicemail 4. Emergency Tone  5. Missed Call . And under Service Alerts: 1. ERI 2. Minute Beep 3. Call Connect 4. Charge Complete 5. Software Update. So nothing there for the calendar. And options from the calendar that I can see are Add (here you can change the tone for one event or recurring event, but not set a default tone for the event alarm), View (gives you the options of viewing an existing event in more detail, adding a new one, and the same choices from the Options list on the first screen where you are viewing the entire month), and Options (1. lets you view weekly/monthly,  2. Go To Today  3. Go To Date   4. Search   5. Erase All   6. Erase All Old   7. Send.  So as far as I can see, there's no way to do it. I have been through all the Settings and Tools menus... and the Events menu. But...I have just discovered that if I delete ALL my alarms and change the Ringtone for the first alarm I set, that ringtone becomes the default ringtone. I will try deleting ALL my events and starting fresh with a new tone and see if that works!

  • How to change default settings for a video generator?

    I'm using a video generator (Lyric Media's Pan Zoom Pro) many times in the same project, and have to change the default settings for each new instance of the generator that I create. I'm wondering if there's any way to change the default settings for a generator (i.e., length of clip, individual slider and checkbox settings in the "controls" tab) so that each new instance automatically has my customized settings when I first open it.
    Thanks.

    That works for the all the controls/filter settings. The clip length still defaults to 10 seconds, but that's OK, since the main thing I was looking for was to change the clip's internal settings. Thanks for your help

  • How to block the Form Settings for Main Menu to use ONLY "My Menu"?

    Hi everyone:
    Our customer wants to define an User Menu (My Menu) for each B1 user within the company and restrict the Modules at main menuu2026
    How can I block the Form Settings for the Main Menu?... It is possible to give an user Only access to My Menu and denied Authorization to the Modules?. 
    I appreciate your help!!. Thanks very much

    Hi,
    'My Menu' refers to the third tab on the Main Menu, and the
    authorization of 'Organize My Menu' works as below:
    - Full Authorization: Allows the user to access the Organize User Menu
      window (Tools -> User Menu -> Organize) and customize the menu.
    - No Authorization: The user cannot open this window.

  • Where can I change the font settings for the name of the month in iPhoto's calendar project?

    where can I change the font settings for the name of the month in iPhoto's calendar project?  I just ordered two copies of a calendar I designed in iPhoto and was surprised to find that the calendar's months were printing in something like an Arial 10 pt font.  On previous calendars I've printer via iPhoto and Apple, the font was much larger.  I've tried every menu option in iPhoto and the Calendar Project program and can't find where this is modifyable. Which leads me to ask, what the heck happened here in the first place?  I did not consciously change the default.
    I do remember that I got some notice when I first tried to print the calendar about the default font having been changed, but I don't know how this could have happened, and I didn't know what impact that had on the calendar until it was delivered.  I typically print about a dozen annual calendars but won't buy another until I've got a handle on this problem.  For the most part, the rest of the calendar is okay.
    As a P.S. is there anywhere where one can get a power user's manual, or instruction on iPhoto?

    "Maximum" and "12" usually refer to compression (influencing image quality and jpeg file size in bytes); and as Curt wrote, dpi is meaningless for display by and viewing in web browsers.  (It could be a different matter if you are uploading the jpeg files for someone to download from the web to print.)
    What are the sequence of steps that you and your batch processing take from Bridge?
    You can use call Photoshop's Image Processor from Bridge to create the jpeg files  (Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor).  In the Image Processor you can set jpeg compression, pixel dimensions if desired, also convert to sRGB (good idea for web display).  In my experience the image processor leaves unchanged whatever dpi is set in the source file; or, if none there as might be for a pdf, it will set the dpi value in your New Document Preset Print Resolution (from your Photoshop Units & Rulers preferences).

  • How to change settings for all users?

    Hi All,
    In cPro we have User Settings button. On clicking that we get a Tabstrip where you will find "User" tab.
    my question is: How can we change the default settings for all users e.g setting the checkbox "Scheduling only manually" to true ?
    Best Regards,
    Arti.

    Hi Arti,
    In cProjects the authorizations can be managed either by authorization profile administration by system administrator for General authorizations or by Project specific authorizations for individual cProjects elements by Project owner.
    Try the first one and I hope you will get the solution.

  • Any Way to Set Default Settings for HDR Toning?

    I have developed a nice set of parameters for the HDR Toning feature and have saved them as Noels Defaults, but I don't see a way to make them the default settings for HDR Toning.  Frankly I find the default color settings for the tool very garish.  I suppose that's good, because it always reminds me that I need to select my own settings, but...
    Can you suggest a way to make my own settings the HDR Toning dialog defaults, so as to save a step each time I use it?
    My apologies if I'm being dense and missing something obvious.
    Thanks.
    -Noel
    P.S., I'm on Windows 7 by the way, and of course I'm talking about Photoshop CS5.

    Thanks Zeno.
    Well, then, Adobe, could you please make the defaults settable, for example like Camera Raw?
    Thank you.

  • Can i adjust pressure sensitivity options for tools other then paint brush?

    Greetings all, i'm new to Photoshop elements and this forum, could someone help me with this problem please!!!!!!
    Is there a way to adjust the pressure sensitve options opacity, scatter, hue jitter e.t.c for tools other then the paint brush such as the dodge and burn tool?
    I'm wanting to use the dodge and burn tools with say a chalk brush but set the pressure sensitivity of my tablet to opacity, i can do this for the paint brush by using the tablet options drop down menu but the option doesn't seem to be avaiable for  tools such as the eraser, dodge and burn and smudge tools.
    I've tryed the brushes from the Pressure Sensitive set but there is no chalk brush in the Pressure Sensitive brush set that effects opacity and you can't adjust what settings are effected for each pressure sensitive brush when using tools other then the Paint Brush.
    Can anyone help me with this as i've tryed everything i can think of.

    I guess the easiest way would be to select the paint brush tool
    and using the brush of your choice, set those options you want
    and save the brush.
    Then when you select a tool such as the burn tool, select your brush.
    The one option that won't apply is the hue jitter (you can't use hue jitter or
    color dynamics in the full version of photoshop either for most other tools
    aside from the brush tool)

  • PDF Output Settings for Word Email Merge?

    Hi all,
    I'm using Acrobat X's integration in Word to do an email merge of PDFs. There are images in my template that need their quality maintained. So far, I've been unable to find a setting that affects the "Merge to Adobe PDF" script.
    I've created a new PDFMaker Settings > Conversion Setting that uses all the highest image-preserving settings I've found to change from my research. This includes turning off downsampling and compression. When I simply print to PDF or Save As PDF, the image comes out perfectly. When I Mail Merge to PDF, the image quality is lost again.
    Where can I adjust the settings for the script that merges to PDF to preserve the image quality?
    Thanks for any help!

    Found a workaround, but it does not answer my original question.
    My images were in PNG format (which I had intended to use for its transparency). PNGs appear to not handle well in the PDF mail merge. Testing with JPGs, I found they retained much more quality, so I ended up using my Snipping Tool to save the images (with the background seen through the transparent parts) as a JPG, then swapped those images into the document.
    Very sloppy workaround, but it got the job done!
