Is it possible to allow a large brush to extend past the canvas?

I'm working on a banner image for an email blast with some large broken glass brushes. If possible it would be great if there was a way to allow the brush to paint outside the canvas so that I can scale/rotate/position it. As it stands now I end up with the sharp straight edges from where it crops at the edge of the canvas.
Obviously I could just make my canvas much larger to accommodate the size of the brush and then just crop down to the portion I would use. But (mentally) I think it's easier to just be able to look at what to final image will be so I'm curious if there's a trick I'm not aware of.
I'm using CC 2014.2.2 on a PC. Thanks all!

Not directly with brushes. I did wonder if creating an over sized canvas, then cropping down with 'Delete Cropped Pixels' unchecked would do it, but I tried and it does not work. so your options are
1) Use a custom shape instead of a brush.
To turn a brush into a vector Shape layer:
Stamp the brush down at a good size on a new layer (the larger the brush, the better it will work).
Ctrl (Cmd) Click the layer with the brush to load it as a selection.
Turn the selection into a Path (icon at the bottom of the Paths panel).
Go Layer > New fill layer > Solid Color — give it a color and job done.
2) Stamp your brush on a new layer. (Use the largest natural size for the brush or it will pixelate)
Turn the layer into a Smart Object (right click the layer)
Both these options can be Free Transformed beyond the canvas boundaries, but the Shape option has the advantage that you can save it and have it available for future jobs, or even share with other people.

Is it possible to download a program purchased in 2011 (past the 3 year mark)?

I purchased Adobe Flash cs5.5 for my school in 2011. This summer the school updated Windows and Flash was deleted off of my computer. I was trying to redownload Flash but am not seeing how. I read somewhere that there is a 3 year download cut off. Is this true? Can I still download even if it is? If so how?

There is no cut off for downloads though there might be a cutoff for whatever license you might have obtained.

Interactive brush resizing should work off-canvas

It won't work unless the brush is actually over the canvas. I can't see a reason for this.

i still don't see any problems - it looks like Photoshop is doing what it's supposed to do
first:
the levels adjutsment layer was added, and the levels were darkened, so your entire image appears slightly darker.
Next, you filled that same adjutsment layer with black as your foreground color, so what this did was 'hide' that darkened adjustment layer, so your image returned to normal. The darkened levels is still there on that layer, but it's hidden (by filling the entire layer in black)
now when you change your foreground color to white (just use the color picker to chane your painting color to white), just choose a soft airbursh tool and paint on to the adjutsment layer - now because you're using white, it is "un-hiding", or showing the darkened levels and the gray smear is just the darkened levels showing through- take note of your brush opacity - make sure it's at 100% for starters. If you want that 'gray smear' to appear darker, then double click on the split-circle icon (beside the eye icon on your layer) and the levels window should show up again - then re-adjust those levels sliders again so they're even darker - you'll notice that gray smear on your image darkening as you pull the sliders down.
The degree of darkness that the gray smear appears to be is totally dependant on how far you pull the sliders in the 'levels' panel
for example, you can pull the sliders all the way in one direction and the gray smear will turn very very dark, or pull the sliders the other way and the gray smear will turn very very bright (all the way up until it's actually white)
what you're showing us looks to be total normal behavior - you might try reading up on adjustment layers to get a better understanding of what's actually happening, but there appears to be no problems with your Photoshop or your camera

Pasting the position points of a mask path to a write-on brush position

Hi there,
So after effects is doing something VERY strange - I create a pen path by tracing a electrical signature in after effects (see pink path in the attached screen shot) , then I click 'm' short cut to bring up the mask path. I make sure the mask path is selected, then I copy it. I add the Write-on effect, and into the brush position, I paste the mask path points. I've done this exactly this way in the past but either I've lost my marbles or some weird preference is set to make the pasted path points both smaller and nowhere near the same position as what I have taken so much time to trace! Why??? How can it paste smaller and somewhere else? (green dots are going to be the brush points of the write on effect) Please help - I can't figure out what's the problem here - tried for the last 6 hours :O
I need to reveal the original image with the write on effect I don't understand why it's not working this one time.
Thanks SO SO MUCH!

I assume this comp will be used as a nested comp, inside a comp of other dimensions.
Make sure that this comp's dimensions and pixel aspect ratio match those of the layer. The Write-On effect should then work properly.
If you wish to use the Write-On effect on another layer -- a solid, perhaps -- make sure to use the comp size for the solid.

HT4259 KB article is out of date--how do you "allow this network to be extended" on AirPort Utility 6.x?

The current KB article about extending wireless networks is out of date--how do you "allow this network to be extended" on AirPort Utility 6.x? These instructions describe v. 5.x.

In my case, the option was required, so the problem was that it wasn't available. When I used v6.2 to extend the network on the secondary AP Express, it gave an error saying the network couldn't be extended.
Once I booted Snow Leopard from an external drive, I was able to follow the instructions in HT4259 with v5. Once I checked the "allow this network to be extended" on the primary AP Express, the secondary AP Express started extending the network as it should.
While v5 of the AirPort Utility is available for download, it won't work on Mountain Lion, so this solution wouldn't work for most people, who don't keep old operating systems lying around.

Is it possible to allow the user to highlight specific label in the GUI.

i have an existing GUI tt allows user to key in records of information eg, patient records in a hospital system.
and display them based on wat the user key in for the patient's id no:
is it possible to allow the user to highlight label in the GUI.
Label as in information like Illness:<Red>Cancer<Red>
for tt customer only.
and re open the file to have the color still there.
i serialized my vector of objects into a file, and have the gui to retrieve them upon execution.
color wise i m lost.
one solution is to have a corresponding Color attribute to each of my other attribute in all my other classes.
besides this, any idea how to do it?
i also did a search on java map..
couldn't really find sth useful abt it..
seems like few ppl know how to use it well..
API doesn't seems to show how i can use it to reach my objective.
anyway, i hope the user can highlight A attribute of a record and not highlight the entire record..
tt's why i find it soo cumbersome to have another Color object created for each atttribute.
eg:
patientId, patientName, etc.....
thanks in advance

Several Swing components understand HTML tags, eg JLabel, which is VERY useful, as in the previous example.
Are you asking "how do I highlight a field" or "how do I make it remember the color it has"?
As Color is itself Serializable, why not store your data in a Hashtable not a Vector?

Is it possible to allow use to type entry into a drop down list box ?

Hi ,
Is it possible to provide type in the value option ( provide option to user like he can select a value from the extracted data in a drop down list object and also he can enter a value manually ) to a drop down list box on an interactive form ?
Nanda

Hello Nanda,
In the Adobe LiveCycle Designer you can specify several list items for objects of type 'Drop-down List' and it is also possible to allow custom entries (checkbox: "Allow Custom Text Entry").

Is it possible to allow the user to revoke its own it resource?

Is it possible to allow the end-user to somehow revoke its own resource?
What would be the correct approach if he decides that he doesn't need access to a specific system and decides to terminate his account ?
Thanks for any insight.
Adriano.

One way by creating dummy resource, he will raise a request but no approval will be triggered (if you want then you can modify).
In the provisioning workflow call the OIM APIs.
Second approach I have to look into it.

I need to create a banner in Fireworks but the canvas is only allowed to go up to 6000px at 300dpi, is there a way to make it larger?

I need to create a banner in Fireworks but the canvas is only allowed to go up to 6000px at 300dpi, is there a way to make it larger?

Do NOT use Fireworks for print work. Use Illustrator, InkScape, InDesign, Scribus, Xara Designer Pro, Photoshop, etc, anything BUT Fireworks. Fireworks is meant for web graphics.
However, if you are still convinced it is a good idea to do this in Fw, there is a way to increase the max canvas size:
Source
However, you can change the limit.
Make sure that Fireworks is closed, open Fireworks CS6 Preferences.txt file located in:
Windows 7/Vista: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Fireworks CS6\English\
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Fireworks CS6\English\
MacOS X: Library/Preferences/Adobe Fireworks CS6/en/
and change
<key>MaxDocSizeInPixels</key> <integer>6000</integer>
to
<key>MaxDocSizeInPixels</key> <integer>10000</integer>
or adjust this number as needed.

Using Large Brushes makes my system stutter a little...

I have a new computer with AMD x4 processor, ATI Radeon HD4870 graphics card and 8GB RAM. It's also on Vista 64bit.
Everything seems OK but using a large brush in a large image seemes to go a bit stuttery. Should this be expected and is there anything to do with preferences or set-up that I could be looking at?
Thanks
Martin

just the usual, make sure that you have the 11.0.1 patch installed for Photoshop and that your video card drivers are up to date.

Is that possible to allow the Good Receipt on customized return Mvt Type

Hi All
Is that possible to allow the Good Receipt on Customized movement Type, Reference string for these movement type is 601
and these customize movement type has bee flagged for reveres movement type indicator under Internal Control and Under Update control consumption Posting is set as G "Planned consumption"
Thanks in advance

Hi There
As per the STD SAP,,
601 Goods issue for delivery (SD)
This movement cannot be entered manually. It is created automatically in SD using the function "Goods issue for delivery".
The quantity is taken from unrestricted-use stock.Possible special stock indicators: E, K, Q
You could have copied the 602 istead of 601,,
However if you are planning for the receipt (Returns from customer) you can use the Mov type-651,, if you want to have diff Acc assignments, you can copy this to Z movements,,
Hope it helps
Thanks
Senthil

Why is my stroke so bumpy when I use large brush sizes?

I always have to erase a ton around the edges in order to make it smooth. Any way to fix this? I'm using a Turcom tablet on Adobe Photoshop Elements 8, but this happened with all other tablets I used, too (Wacom). I can never get a smooth line with large brush sizes. I usually only have size checked in my brush tablet pressure options.

Just to clarify, I mean closer together. When you draw with a brush in a program like PSE you are actually putting down many repetitions of the brush cursor itself. You need more overlap to avoid seeing the edges of each outline.
Or you could try a softer brush.

Is it possible to allow iphoto to delete fotos from the finder? (when iphoto doesnt copy the fotos into an own library)

Is it possible to allow iphoto to delete fotos from the finder? (when iphoto doesnt copy the fotos into an own library)

No -- iPhoto does not ever touch an photo file that is not within its database
THis is one (of the minior) resaons that it is very strongly advised not to uncheck the preference to copy imported items to the iPhoto library - it makes importing and deleting more difficult and makes upgrading or replacing defective hardware much, much more difficult
