Is there a way to change how Photoshop handles pen pressure per stroke?

I'm a digital illustrator, and at current I have to switch between Corel Painter and Photoshop for my work flow, but for only one seemingly simple reason. Painter obviously has reproducing natural media at its heart, and as such some of the dry media functions (charcoal, pencil, pastel, etc.) work with an absolute pressure basis. No matter how many times you go over a swathe of pixels or pick up your pen, opacity/flow is determined solely by pressure.
Photoshop on the other hand functions more like wet media, with the assumption that you're picking up more paint with every lift of the pen.
Now here's the real kicker, I'm not a big fan of Painter. I'm more comfortable with Photoshop and I've found plenty of ways to get past texture and blending issues with the wonderful open ended brush tools and a couple fancy plugins, but I can't get around this. I learned art as a dry media artist, and as such my hand and brain don't compute a slight lift off the tablet with gathering more color.
So to put it simply: Is there a way to adjust Photoshop's pen pressure from pen pressure = opacity x stroke to just pen pressure = total opacity?
Because I would stop buying Painter if Photoshop had this option.
Thanks in advance for any input!

Don't know any 'automatic' way - but, i have "Fetch Headers only" set on each of my 'secondary accounts'.
With varying internet service, manual "Get Messages" is probably the "Best Practice" because you will know how good your service is before you even try.
maybe set "Check for new messages every 'n' minutes" to different times
(3 minutes, 6 minutes, etc.) on each 'secondary' account.

Is there a way to change how files are viewed?

For example, I'd like to see columns/ rows of album covers rather than a simple list. Same with movies. If I can easily do that in iTunes, why not on Apple TV?

thanks for your answer. It does seem like Apple TV is an incomplete product. I thought Airplay could help, but after some research, I'm not even getting the product!
Oh: is there a way to better organize files on ATV?

When composing a new message in mail on OS X 10.9.2, is there a way to change the "sending" account on a per-message basis?

I just got a new MacBook Pro and when composing a new message, I can no longer choose which e-mail account I want to use for the new message. It also does not show which account I'm using in the e-mail composition panel. Is there a way to fix this?

Click on the pull down window next to From: and you should be able to select the individual account you want to send from. The account that you want to send from must be an Enabled account in the Account Preferences of Mail.

Is there a way to change how Thunderbird checks multiple email accounts from several at once to checking them one at a time?

There is one problem I've had that I've never seen anyone else have! I live in an area of the Philippines with very poor performing Internet service. Things are slow but, it's enough if you have patience. My freelance work requires that I have multiple email accounts. Thunderbird handles this well except when initially checking emails. Because it checks email accounts all at once, I usually get timeouts and then have to resort to checking them manually, one at a time. So, I'm wondering if the way Thunderbird checks accounts can be changed to one at a time, especially at startup? Thanks!

[Help] Is there a way to change how temporary flv videos are stored in my PC?

Hello, I'd like to know whether you can change the way Flash Player stores temporary .flv movies in the PC. Every time I watch a video it's usually stored on C:\Users\myusername\Appdata\Local\Temp as "fla .tmp" until I close the browser's window. I don't like that, since I'd rather have temporary files on a secondary HDD to avoid system fragmentation and unnecessary usage of my newly acquired SSD. I've attempted to change the temporary folder but there's simply no option whatsoever to do it (I even checked the online Flash settings manager, with no luck).
Can you please help me? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

The default temporary directory in Windows is located on the same hard drive and partition as the operating system itself.
This is not really optimized and you could speed up your operating system by moving the temporary folder from the default location to another hard drive.
The process is very simple and done in a matter of seconds.
Press Windows+Pause (Break) and click on the Advanced tab (XP) or Advanced System Properties (Vista/7).
Click the Environment Variables button on the bottom and another window opens showing all variables.
The important ones for use are the TMP and TEMP user variables.
Create a new directory manually on another hard drive, for instance f:\temp.
Highlight the first variable, and select Edit from the menu, then change the default location to f:\temp or the name of the folder you want to use.
Edit the second variable in the same way and click on ok.
You should restart your computer afterwards.
Hope that helps....

Is there a way to change the font in iTunes 10 back to how it used to be?

I don't like the new text font in iTunes 10 at all - is there a way to change it back to how it was?
Thanks

I'm not sure, but I think the change was using the font "Segoe UI" instead of "Tahoma", and maybe, Lucida Grande.
I haven't tried it, but I assume you can edit the fonts, which are specified in (basically) a text file (at least, for iTunes 10).
Make a backup of the file before you edit anything (or you can repair/reinstall if you mess it up). See the following post for some more info:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12226047#12226047
You'll want to edit the "font", not the "xp-font". I can't tell you what fonts will work.

Is there any way to change the background colour in Photoshop Elements 8?.

Is there any way to change the background colour in Photoshop Elements 8? There are two options offered in General Preferences, Appearance Options - Dark Grey or Light Grey - but even the Light Grey is much darker than that in Photoshop CS2. I would like to make the background much lighter. All advice will be appreciated.

Thanks for your comments.
I have seen that the background can be changed in PSE7 by using a slider in Preferences- General; I don't understand why Adobe didn't keep that facility.

Is there a way to change the names spotlight uses?

hello, i was wondering if there was a way to change how spotlight looks up applications.
ie, so instead of typing in 'photoshop' before spotlight finds photoshop, is it possible to just type 'ps' and photoshop will pop up?
or are there any other good alternatives to spotlight?
thanks!

AFAIK: not yet. Hopefully... someday.

Is there a way to change the LUt extension form .CUBE to .cube. on export. TX

Is there a way to change the LUt extension form .CUBE to .cube. on export with this script in photoshop For MAC:
Chris Cox wrote:
The file extensions are written by the export plugin. (which incidentally has a comment that two studios wanted all caps extensions, but I failed to write down which ones in the comments)
To change the filenames, you'd want to add something at the end of doExportLUTs() that uses the supplied path and substitutes the desired extensions, then renames the file.
Thank you

Hi blabla12345,
(untested and without warranty)
replace this line:
const sSaveCUBE = "CUBE";
with this:
const sSaveCUBE = "cube";
Have fun

Is there a way to change the message received in Outlook from Mavericks calender?

Hi there
I found a post discussing this whereby a user was advised to edit the ITIP.stings file in the contents of the iCal.app to change the standard message that states "To accept or decline this invitation, click the link below" etc message that an Outlook user received when getting a calender invite from Mavericks Calender.
The post is here:
Is there a way to change the standard email message?
Problem is, on Mavericks it does not have that string in that file - I've actually checked ALL the .strings files in that folder but to no avail. Did it move somewhere else on Mavericks?
On another note...this whole process is part in part moving from Entourage to Mac Mail and Calender due to Apple's (illogical) removal of the ability to sync with anything other than iCal / Mail / iCloud. So we manually moved everything across (thousands of mails and hundreds of folders) and hundreds and hundreds of calender events.
Now it syncing but herewith the problem...if I create an event and send it to someone, they receive it as the iCloud account email and not our work email (pop account with our own domain). Even then when I open it in Outlook, it has some horribly malformed address and when you accept, you get a delivery failure.
So we create a different Calender (On the Mac) and this sends 100% (except for the message in the body we'd like to change) but this does not sync with the Iphone or the iPad. Then we have to manually change the calender event to the iCloud calender and it brings up a message that its going to send the update to all the attendees...and you must choose between send via mail or send via server.
What do I do!?

Anyone? Just need to know where I can change that message and also how I can set up the icloud calender to send invites using my work email address (as configured in Mail)?

Is there a way to change the Apple ID you're using on your iPhone?

I recently got an iPhone 3 and I am using my brothers ID to download apps but he won't tell me his password and its really inconvenient having to ask him to put it in every time, so I was wondering if theres a way to change the one your using as I have another on I can now use instead. Please if you have any thoughts on how to do this please tell me. Thanks

Hi,
try
Settings->Store
click on the existing appleId (your brothers), click 'sign out'. You should then be able to sign-in, but this time select 'Create New Apple ID'

Is there a way to change the addresses used in an existing iMessage thread?

This is kind of a multi-part question. Let me describe my scenario.
I have many iMessage threads with other iPhone users where the "reply" addresses for one or both ends are the phone *numbers* instead of AppleID email addresses. (This could be due to a number of factors... either they had their "Start new conversations from" address set to their phone number, and/or they started a new conversation with me sending it to my phone number. How it *got* that way doesn't really matter). I want to be able to change the addresses of the conversation to AppleID's (so that I'll still get messages when I change SIM cards, among other reasons).
With iOS 8's new ability to add/remove people from conversations, I thought I would be able to add the AppleID address and remove the phone number address, but there are two problems with that: 1) iOS 8 seems to only allow this for conversations which began as multi-person conversations, and 2) it doesn't seem to want to let you add addresses for people who are already recipients via another address (in other words, if Alice is already on the conversation via her phone number, I can't add her AppleID to the conversation). I guess I could remove the person first, and then re-add them with the other address... but I'd feel safer if I could add the next one before removing the first one.
I know I could just tell the other person to delete our thread and start a new one, but I don't want to lose all of our dialogue and pictures (and I don't want to have to manually save it).
So, the questions:
Is there a way to change the address my counterparty is sending to when they make further replies to our conversation?
Is there a way to change the address I send to when I make further replies to the conversation?
Is there a way to change the default address to use when trying to send someone an iMessage? (What I'm after here is a way to craft my "contact" entry in people's phones so that, when they try to send a message to me and start typing my name, my preferred address comes up on top).
As it looks like the only way to do this might be to use iOS 8's method of adding/removing recipients, is there a way of converting a two-person conversation into a multi-person one?

I think I may have solved it, actually. I find that if I switch the timecode to NDF in the source viewer, it seems to work. I have tried it on three clips and they have sync'd without problems. Hopefully this will continue to be the case.
