Intuos/Photoshop Help for Beginner

Hey There,
I'm an absolute beginner with the Intuos and not much better with Photoshop, so please forgive me if this question is a little basic for this forum. I'm going to be using the Intuous and Photoshop (or maybe Corel Painter) for a research project evaluting a computerized administration of some tests of visual perception and visual memory. I'm looking to create a permanent record of the study subjects' drawing processes, such that I could play back their individual pen-strokes in real-time, and preferably with the option to speed-up, slow down etc. Is this something that would be possibly with Photoshop? I spoke with someone at Wacom who said they were fairly sure that Photoshop or Painter did this, but they weren't sure which one.
Thanks much.

You can keep a text log of every action made in Photoshop but you will not have a record of how the user is drawing with the pen.
I would look into Camtasia which keeps a video record of all activity on the screen. It is used by many professionals to produce tutorials.

Basic FCP Help for beginner

Thanks in advance for looking at my post.
I have a uni project whereby i have to make a music video for a song previously recorded.
I have videoed various shots of my band playing along to the recorded song.
They all start at different times (i.e start of video clip does not match with audio clip) yet i know that over the whole song they are in time with each other as i had the drummer play along to the recording using headphones.
So what im trying to do is load up all of the clips into FCP alongside the audio, adjust the start position for the various video clips so that they synchronise with the audio, and then lock them into place.
I would then like to cut them up into clips and move the parts that i want to use down onto the main video timeline so that they are in time with the audio.
I am mainly encountering problems with having to render these 3 minute video clips just to see if they line up with the audio which is a very time consuming process. Is there any way to use the markers and tell them to lock together, that is put a marker on the audio timeline, put markers on each video clip at the same point and line them up/snap them into place.
Any help would be much appreciated, as i mentioned in the subject i am a complete apple/FCP beginner having only done basic videos where i didnt need to have such synchronicity between audio and video.
Also on a side note when i load up the video clips into the timeline, they creat new lines V2,V3 and so on. Am i right in assuming that V1 is the final rendered timeline, or does FCP show all of the V# if they have footage on them?
Tl:dr help

Thanks for the response, i have looked at a few video tutorials, but i cant find one that deals with multiple video takes over a common audio take.
Are v2,3 etc slates to load up video before aligning/cutting and placing onto V1 (the main video sequence)??
With regards to this video

Am i right in assuming once i have lined up all the video clips to sync with the audio i can set in and out markers on the video clips to tell FCP to use the sections that i want of each take?

Help for beginner: Need labview signal to power on =2 actuators of 8 with one power supply

I am a beginner in using labview. I need to use labview signal to turn on >=2 ac 8 actuators with one power supply. The 24VDC, 0-3A power supply is enough to drive all 8 actuators which need 24VDC and 0.1A current. So the main function is like turning on 2 or more than 2 switches in series with the 8 actuators with one power supply. Any suggestion of some simple module for this purpose? Thanks.

Maybe I didn't say the question clear. I have one power supply (24VDC, 0-3A) and 8 solenoid valves (24VDC and 0.1A). Two valves (or more than two in future) have to be activated each time. I would like to find something that can work like switches installed in series with the valves. Then I can wire the valves (with the switches) in parallel with the power supply. As I turn the switches on and off with signals from Labview board, power to that specific valve will be turned on and off.
Any advice for this kind of switches or any module that can be controlled by Labview signal? Please help! Thanks.

Going to Previous Tracks- Help for beginner

Due to the length of my project and the need for chapter markers, instead of making one long track with over 100 markers, I've created 20 tracks with six or more markers per track. My problem is, if I am on Track 6-Ch. 1, I want to press the back button on my remote to go back to Track 5- Ch. 5. I'm sure there's an easy solution that I'm missing, but I've been missing it for awhile now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Why not make one track? I don't understand why you would rather make 20 tracks with six markers... can you offer more details?
Why don't you just drag all 20 video clips into the one Track (timeline)? Then it's all the same timeline in the same track and all yer chapter markers will work backward and forward.
This would be way easier than getting into stories and or scripting.
If I'm misunderstanding what you are attempting to achieve, I apologize, let me know.
Cheers!

Help for beginner! Photo gallery

I have found 2 templates in a free website
Here is the attachment:
www56.zippyshare.com/v/98974987/file.html
The problem I have encountered is that I have no idea in removing the stack gallery after I click the return to main menu button. Maybe you have to spend some time on the logic of the templates. But I really hope you guys can be patient to help.
Well, to be honest, I have tried whole day finding out the method through google and video tutorials. Fortunately, I think I can handle in loading the stack gallery in the first page. Like using XML codes or loading .swf.
But still can't remove/unload the gallery after I hit the return button.
So please generous guys can give me your ideas.

something like this...not quite working
function updateSlide() { // load photo, update caption and status fields
setTimeout(targetPhoto.loadPhoto(photos[currentIndex], 2000);
caption = captions[currentIndex];
statusField = (currentIndex+1) + "/" + totalSlides;

I want to help with the translations of Tradition Chinese for Photoshop Touch for phone application

Hi there,
My name is Richard and I have been using your Photoshop Touch For phone app for quite some time.
This is a great app but there is just one little thing that maybe you can make this app better by adding other languages.
I am not really good at English so I have translated your app into Traditional Chinese for my personal use.
I see that this app is only in English, it is quite inconvenient for people who don't understand English.
So I am hoping if I can help and participate with Traditional Chinese traslation for this app in your next release.
If you do so it's an great honor for me because I really like your app!
Should I just attach the folders for the translations or do you have a website that I can just put all the translation in?
I hope to hear from you soon
Thanks

I've been having big issues with installing and reinstalling iTunes. I found the same site that gives instructions on uninstalling everything, and I did it in the right order, then I reinstalled iTunes onto the computer, and it worked.
The only problem with all of this is that every time I connect my iTouch to the computer, this alert pops up:
"This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes."
Whenever I try to download iTunes, I always get warnings that tell me to download the "64-bit" version, because the version that's being installed was meant for a 32-bit computer. I always tell the computer to continue installing iTunes anyway, because otherwise I just have to start all over again for the same results.
After everything's installed, I get another warning that tells me that iTunes was not installed correctly, and that I need to reinstall it.
So basically, everything works fine despite the warnings, up until I actually try to sync songs to my iPod Touch.
Do you have any idea what the "64-bit" version is or how I could download that version instead of whatever version I've been trying to install??
Any help at all would be great, if you can. Thanks.

Anyone using Photoshop Elements for Fashion Design

Hi,
I'm looking for software to help me in the Fashion Design Industry. I want to use it for my sketches. I am a beginner when it comes to Fashion Design and have no experience using Photoshop software. I had read somewhere that Photoshop Elements is a less expensive version of Photoshop. I read that it does 90% of what Photoshop does without the higher end pre -press printing capabilities. I also read that there is a book that will help you with the other 10% to achieve the full Photoshop capabilities.
1a. I would like to know is anyone using Photoshop Elements for Fashion Design?
1b. If yes, please explain in details what exactly are you using it for?
2a. Is there more than one version of Photoshop Elements?
2b. If so, what version do you recommend?
3. How easy is it to use?
4. Do you know of any books you can recommend that will help me with using the software for fashion design?
5. If you don't feel Photoshop Elements is the best choice, then what other software would you recommend?
Thanks

I've never used PSE for fashion design, but there is only one flavor of elements, not a variety of different versions. I would wonder about using it for this because it could make a lot of difference if you need to create output in CMYK form (for print) or to softproof (neither of which is available in PSE). You also can't create composite layers in Elements.
I like Elements a lot, but I would not say it's 90% of Photoshop, more like 70% and I would expect that people would use Illustrator rather than PS for most things to do with creating illustrations. Also, there is no book that can make PSE into PS, although you can extend what it can do, but Adobe has deliberately crippled certain features in PSE.
I would say we need to know what you need a program to do to be able to give you any useful kind of advice. If you need to be able to draw vectors and paths, PSE is not a good choice. If you just need to sketch, it's fine.

Can I open a CS6 Photoshop file in Adobe Photoshop Touch for Phone?

I am trying to rountrip a ps file to/from Adobe Photoshop Touch for Phone to/from CS6 Photoshop on a mac. Is it possible? It seems (so far) I can create a .psdx on the phone and edit on my desktop, but once editing in CS6 PS, I can't get that file back on the phone for editing. Any ideas... or is it a one way street from phone to desktop right now? thx!!!

Hi there,
In general, the .psd format is fairly backwards compatible. To help get your files ready to be opened in CS3, follow this process:
1) Go to Photoshop > Preferences > File Handling.
2) In the menu, make sure Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility is set to always.
Just in case, you may also want to save your file as a .TIFF, which is a format that will also preserve your layers and is able to be opened in older versions.
Please let us know if you need any more information, and good luck with your project!

Photoshop help will no longer display

For a long tine I have had cs2 v9 installed on my win7 64bit desktop computer.
Since yesterday the photoshop help (F1) will not display - though the bottom row icon is shown. (clicking this icon causes the mouse pointer to whirl but nothing happens).
What have I done??:- I was playing around with a string of video frames to make an animation. I was flicking backa nd forth between Photoshop and Image Ready and at one time I tried to export to Flash SWF.
I've tried restroring my computer to a time before I was messing around with the video frames, but stil cannot access Photoshop Help (either through the menu or F1).
any and all help welcome
regards

Creating stills in photoshop cs2 for 16:9 HDTV

Hi,
I've been reading posts regarding creating stills and still need some clarification. I'm from a print world, so dealing with square pixels vs. non square, hdv, vs dv widescreen is all a bit confusing....
I've been to this link: http://www.fcpbook.com/Photoshop1.html and several others, plus reading the manuals which all have been helpful, but each instance deals with different specs, not necessarily what I've listed below.
First, I am creating the stills for 16:9 viewing on a hidef tv (1080). The FCE HD project is an animated, narrated story with overlays, keyframe motion and some limited effects.
Here are my questions:
1. In creating my original photoshop template: should I use pshop's presets under "new document":
HDV, 1920 x 1080 (with guides) and if yes, what should the aspect ratio be set at? Square or HDV anamorphic? (When I do "HDV anamorphic" I get a squashed look in FCE, with "square" it looks good.)
2. Saving the photoshop file to be imported into FCE, would it be better to save as a jpg, or photoshop or other format? I've been reading differing opinions as to which...
3. Once I create this template (above) can I crop down the still if it doesn't fill the entire photoshop template (I will have some overlays that will not require a full frame in FCE).
4. some images will be enlarged in FCE. Instead of enlarging them in FCE, should I be enlarging them in photoshop? should I be enlarging exponentially, ie doubling the size of my original photoshop template? And if I'm enlarging them less than 150% in FCE, would the image lose it's sharpness at that enlargement?
5. And finally, I've already created some of the stills in photoshop using the photoshop presets for HDV 1920 x 1080, pixel aspect: square and brought them into FCE. Is WYSWYG in the FCE's canvas window what I'll be seeing on my TV monitor (16:9 1080 HDTV). The images are not squashed and look great, but I'm not sure if that's what I'll end up with when I finally view on my tv.
Thanks for any help!

1. If you're working in FCE in a 1920x1080 sequence then that's what you should make in Photoshop, square pixels not HDV.
2. Save as Photoshop, TIFF, or PNG, not JPEG.
3. Yes.
4. Enlarge in Photoshop if they have to be enlarged. You should never double the size of an image. It will quickly start to deteriorate, especially when it's re-compressed. You'll have to live with it not being full size. You should never enlarge an image more than 115%. It will start to soften and make encoding more difficult.
5. No. The Canvas is a lo res representation of the final output. For professional work most editors use an external video monitor to view their material. This can't be done unfortunately in FCE with HD material.
