Jagged lines, not smooth anymore lines, uneven lines after editing

I am using a Mac, photoshop CS5
I created a path with Curves with the pen tool.
filled it in with a color light blue.
than I use the paint bucket to change it to dark blue.
This is when the curved lines become jagged, not smooth, uneven.
any solutions?

R_Kelley is correct in that the root of your problem is transparent pixels being filled.
There are two very fast and easy ways to change the fill of an object without using the paint bucket tool.
1) The first, as PECourtejoie recommended, is to add a fill layer. Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color... should bring up a dialogue box like the one below. Just make sure to have your shape layer selected before you do this, and check the "Use Previous Layer to Create Clipping Mask" option.
This option allows you to go back and change the color of the fill layer by double clicking on the clipping mask icon (the left box in the screenshot above).
2) The second option is to add a color overlay Layer Style to your object. Just go to Layer > Layer Style > Color Overlay... This color overlay can be changed later by opening up the same dialogue box.

Did anyone else experience this and if so, did anyone tried to get it replaced with Lenovo?

Solved!

corrosion isn't the correct term used by service. titanium is one of the most corrosion-resistent metals. the lid in your your photo shows looks like oxidation to me.
your lid is a titanium alloy -- it's not pure titanium. the oxidation and discoloration you see could be caused by certain chemical cleaners, your environment, or even from handling.
i had a titanium alloy case for a palm Vx about 7~8 years ago and it discolored much like your photo. i never thought anything of it and actually liked how it looked.
if lenovo singapore is willing to give you a replacement then you might as well get it. however, just know that your replacement might discolor, too.

PDF exported from Pages (mountain lion) results in jagged font not smooth

I am using Mac air mid-2012 + Mountain Lion (OS X 10.9.4) + Pages (5.2)
I used Arial - Regular - font 12 pt to write a resume. After I export to PDF the font on pdf looks anti-aliased, jagged not smooth on 100% scale. The font in Pages is ok.
I export the same file to *.doc and opened it with OpenOffice and export to PDF using OpenOffice, the font looks no problem.
I have the option "Use LCD font smoothing when available" option checked in system preferences.
Does anyone have the same issue?

This is a known issue in Pages 5's tables. Pages 5 has been out for 9 months now and there is no sign of Apple fixing the issue.
Use Pages '09 if you have it.

Mousewheel Scrolling and Typing not smooth anymore scince 10.5.2

Anybody else is having the Problem that Scrolling wiht a Mousewheel is not smmoth anymore scince the 10.5.2 upgrade? Also when i type the Letters on the screen appeaer a tiny bit later and its not responding smoothly anymore....

I'm having the exact same problem. Typing is very slow and lags behind as I type along. This along with the clamshell mode not working anymore with my external monitor, and I'm rolling back to 10.5.1 right now. Time to see how a timemachine full restore works...
This is the first apple update that has had this many problems for me. Maybe we're isolated cases, but if these types of problems are widespread, then somebody over at apple QA should be in hot water right now. This type of thing really kills customer satisfaction and loyalty...

Enter key does not work anymore in address bar after FF update

After the update the Enter key does not work anymore. Neither when I type the url directly, nor when I select it from the history.
In short FF has become unusable. Now I need to install and use a less crappy browser. Extremely sloppy, amateuristic update.

see if this is helpful : go to Tool > Options > Advanced > General tab > Browsing and '''Uncheck''': "Use hardware acceleration when available" .

10.6.8 update - progress bar not smooth anymore :s

Basically, after updating to 10.6.8 on my Macbook Air when I move a file over my Local Network over Wifi the progress bar jerks in increments now and doesnt smoothly increase. I hopw Im explaining it well but it moves then stops for a few seconds, moves then stops for a few seconds. Its not consistently moving. It is also say 20 secs slower over a 2.5gb file than my Mini is using the 10.6.7 OS.
Any ideas anyone?

Looking into this a little more, it seems that this is not wifi related as it does the same thing moving files to and from my external drive via usb.
Could this be due to the new TRIM system with SSD's on 10.6.8 and the way it accessing the drive when moving/copying?
Noone else get this on the Macbook Air 13inch 2010 128GB SSD drive?
Thanks

Gradient is suddenly not smooth anymore

Hi, I recently noticed a problem when drawing gradients: The transition from black to became non-smooth.
I'm using Photoshop elements 10 installed on a Windows 7 64-bit system.
The main installations I did lately were a Win7 upgrade to SP1 and a Photoshop CS6 trial version installation (and following the problem, Photoshop CC trial verison as well). I suspect the problem stems from one of these installations.
I can confirm that the problem is local to Photoshop (all versions). When copying and pasting the image between either Photoshop version and Paint.Net interchangeably, the problem does not occur in Paint.Net (no matter which application created the source image).
I attached a screenshot of how the output looks in Photoshop and Paint.Net side-by-side.
The gradient looks bad at 100% or any other zoom level. Moreover, I tried creating images with various DPI resolutions (72, 100, 150, 200, 300) - it's all the same (and when I copy any of these images to Paint.Net it's as smooth as it gets).
Notes:
My screen resolution is set to 32-bit (True Color).
My graphic video card is nVidia GTX 260 (it's been around, but still works a.o.k.)Following the problem I updated the drivers to the latest version (but it didn't help).
According to suggested solutions out there, I tried almost every combination of Edit > Preferences > Performance > Advanced Settings:
Enable/Disable "Use Graphics Processor"
Drawing Mode: Basic / Normal / Advanced
All the checkboxes (including 30 bit display, etc.)
I also tried creating 8/16 bit images (and 32 bit images, but it's not possible to apply a grayscale gradient to this type of image).
This problem is originally related to not getting smooth transitions when drawing with my wacom tablet along with pen-pressure flow preset, but I found it easier to explain the issue through gradients.
Photoshop Elements 10 was working great earlier - this problem came out of nowhere (and I wish it would go back there).
Ideas are highly appreciated (except for re-installing the OS).
Hope someone could help - I'm searching for a solution for three days in a row already (searching for gradient band/banding/rings/etc. didn't yield a solution).
Thank you.

What color profile are you using in the documents?
Try this:
1. Go into your Preferences - Performance dialog
2. Click the [Advanced Settings...] button.
3. Choose the Basic drawing mode.
4. OK out and close Photoshop entirely.
Now start Photoshop again and re-test.
The above is based on Photoshop proper. I'm not sure about Elements (been a while since I ran it), but the above change I described moves the color-management logic from the GPU into the CPU. GPU-based color-management is inaccurate under some conditions.
Elements is closely related to Photoshop proper, so I posted it on the chance that this may help.

Videos not playing anymore in iphone 4S after upgrading to IOS 7.0.3

The video files are there, no preview and when click to play, keep saying unable. This only happens after upgraded to iOS 7. I don't have the vidoes backup anywhere anymore...

Hey AU Nicasio,
Thanks for the question. If the iCloud tab (and other tabs) are greyed out, and you are unable to tap on them, it sounds like Restrictions have been enabled on your device. Specifically, the Restriction titled “Allow Changes: Accounts”.
For more information, see this resource:

Files do not return to LR from Ps after edit.

Hi. Am using Lightroom CC 5.3 64bit . Send files to Photoshop CC, edit them hit Ctrl S and they do not return to Lightroom but are saved to my catalogue. This does not happen every time, just most of the time. And there does not seem to be a pattern to it, type of file, etc. Been struggling for days now, getting cross.

Have you tried searching for something like IMG_1234.jpg
Or your regular file name format.

Iphoto pictures not same on ipad and mac after editing

If I edit a photo on my ipad (or iphone for that matter) and then transfer the photo to my iMac, the changes are not retained - the original photo is moved rather than the modified version. e.g. I take the photo of two people and edit the photo on my ipad to remove one of the people, when I move the photo to the iMac, both people are still there. Yet when I look at the photo on the ipad, only one is there. It is as if the whole photo is retained on the ipad, but you can see your edits. When you move it to the iMac, the changes are lost. Is there any way to move the photo and have it retain the edits from the iPad? thanks

Hi Epper,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you're editing pictures in iPhoto on your iOS devices and going back back to your Mac looking for the edited photo, but only see the originals. This may be happening because of the resolution of the photos being saved to your iPad or iPhone, see the article linked below.
iPhoto for iOS (iPad): Edit a photo
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11978
If you edit a photo in the iPhoto Camera Roll album, the edited photo automatically appears the Camera Roll on your iOS device, at the resolution of your device. If you want a full-resolution version of the edited photo sent to the Camera Roll, tap and tap Camera Roll. The full-resolution photo appears in the Camera Roll, and is transferred to your computer when you sync the Camera Roll with your computer.
Cheers!

How to fix acrobat 9.4.1 NOT to change position of objects after editing in Illustrator?

Everyday I use the editing capabilities of Acrobat, with the ''Touchup Object Tool''. With objects, it opens in Illustrator, it's fantastic what you can do. A few days ago, I let Apple upgrade my OS from 10.6.4 to 10.6.5 (in fact, it is the second workstation at my work place, that's having the same problem). The problem is the following... When editing an object with that tool, saving back into the PDF file forces the position of that object to change, it shifts about half of an inch to the right and above. I don't see how I can fix this. Anybody has a solution?

no bug - most likely it is user error but only you know what has gone on
In anycase there have been virtually no reports of this - it is extremely unlikely to be a bug - and virtually zero chance that Apple will be fixing your problem

Dock animation is not smooth after updating recent update

Hi everyone,
I found that Dock animation (mouse move by) is not smooth anymore after I updated the most recently update (Thunderbolt, EFI recovery).
Just like... the FPS down from 60 to 25 !!!
Dose anyone have the same issue after the update?
My Mac is 2011 MacBook Air 13" i5
Thanks!

It was the display driver that was in the Thunderbolt update. Original/stock Lion 10.7 has driver 7.0.6. This works beautifully - MC animations smooth, browser scrolling fluid - in other words what you would expect from a $1200 laptop I pulled the trigger and did a Command-R 'reinstall' which put the original driver back on.
The TB update moved the driver to 7.0.8 and some folks are running 10.7.2 (beta ?) and it's driver is at 7.1.2. So far - folks are reporting that all of these new drivers still have the choppiness
To find out what driver is on your system, run this in a terminal:
kextstat | egrep 'Intel.*Graphics'
You shoud get something like below. The number inside the parens is the driver version.
71 0 0xffffff7f815e4000 0x2c000 0x2c000 com.apple.driver.AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB (7.0.6) <70 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 1>
73 0 0xffffff7f8161e000 0xe1000 0xe1000 com.apple.driver.AppleIntelHDGraphics (7.0.6) <72 70 9 7 5 4 3 1>
So the real question - how can we escelate this with Apple ? This is a regression and user experience impact on a brand new line/model (MBA).

Images edited in Photoshop not showing up correctly in Lightroom after saving

Hi,
I recvently got Adobe cloud and upgraded from Lightroom 3 to 4. Since the upgrade I have been having issues with Lightroom not correctly displaying images edited in Photoshop. Instead of the photoshop image it creates a new jpeg and displays that in the library. the PSD does not get loaded into the library.
I am taking a jpeg from my library and shoosing the edit in Photoshop function. I am selecting edit a copy, but have tried it with original and with edit a copy with lightroom adjustments as well with the same results.
In Photoshop I am duplicating the base layer, upscaling the image, running some filters, adding dsome adjustment layers.
I save the image in Photoshop format back to the original folder where the initial jpeg was in the Lightroom library. I save it with maximize compatibility on.
When I go back to Lightroom, the catalog displays two files, the initial jpeg and an identical copy to it, NOT the new photoshop file with alterations. If I go to the folder the images are housed in in Finder using the show in Finder command both images link to the same original jpeg. The photoshop edited file is there in the folder but does not show up in Lightroom unless I drag and drop it.
I have turned off all filters and made sure the sort is sorting by name. The image does not automatically show up in Lightroom after editing. Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help!
PS. I did search the topic and there are threads from 2007 and lightroom 2 but their solution was to start from scratch essentially and I have a carefully tagged, starred, and labeled catalog of 30,000+ images and really don't want to do that

Images that are edited in Photoshop will be displayed automatically in Lr only when the image-file saved in Photoshop is the same as the one opened from Lr.
You say you open a JPG from Lr, then edit it in PS by - among other things - adding some layers. Layers are not supported in the JPG-format so you have to either save it as a psd or as a jpg-copy.
In either case this is not the same image file as the one opened in Lr, so it will have to be imported into Lr to show up. If you would flatten your image after editing in PS and then do a <save> to your JPG - not a <save as> - it will show up in Lr.
PS: the only exception is when you open a Raw image from Lr in PS and you save it in PS in the file format specified in Lr for external editing. The saved file will automatically show in LR.

When using a path, jagged lines, not smooth lines, uneven lines

I am using a Mac, photoshop CS5
I created a path with Curves with the pen tool.
filled it in with a color light blue.
than I use the paint bucket to change it to dark blue.
This is when the curved lines become jagged, not smooth, uneven.
also I would like to use this as a mask, but with bg color changing from time to time.
any solutions?

Enable the retain transparency option when applying fills or use alternate colorization methods like using adjustment layers or creating the layer as a shape layer in the first place. Not sure what you mean by your mask thingy. You simply load the selection by Ctrl+clicking on teh layer thumbnail. this works no different than with any other layer.
