Just a bit more control over Swatches panel...

"Select All Unused" - great command, "Add Unnamed Colors" - sometimes also useful, but shouldn't you expect "Hide Unnamed Colors" too?
And couple of things I really miss here:
"Find Duplicates" and "Sort by...". I always try "to keep things clean and simple" as much as possible, unfortunately, sometimes I get files from other designers with a real mess there... and in a Swatches panel too. Hundreds of colors, dozens of duplicates, some of them obvious, some - not. Everything scattered here and there, and... no way to get things a bit more organized.
Well, no more words: just look at the Links panel and its options! Things are much better here...

I agree.  I like Illustrator's option of being able to sort my swatches myself with color groups.  I too have the annoyance of having everyone else's swatches mixed in with mine when I syncronize my book documents.  I just have to be sure to name all my colors.  Having the swatches panel be more like Illustrator would be a big help in keeping things "clean and simple".

  • Does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

    does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

    Several ways to get similar results.  Image > Adjustments > Posturize with low values similar to what you'd use n Cutout.  This is the most flexible way I can think of as you keep the image in RGB mode with layers intact.  A more radical approach would be to reduce bit depth using Indexed Colour.  You'll need to experiment with settings, try changing Forced to Primaries, and Matte to Foreground Color.  There's no going back from this route, although you can change the mode back to RGB to re-enable layers, adjustment layers etc.
    A nice thing about the Filter gallery filters is that you can change the layer to a Smart object with all the control that gives you.

  • How to get more control over DVR recordings

    Looking for some advice on how to make sure the DVR records (and keeps) the episodes I want.  
    An example:
    I want to record a series that is still producing new episodes, but is also in repeats in syndication.  For example, Big Bang Theory.  This has new episodes each week on CBS, but has about twenty or so repeats each day on TBS.
    Due to the high number of repeats, any new episodes pretty quickly get overwritten by the repeats.  So is there a way to record both first-run and repeat episodes, but prevent the first-runs from getting overwritten before I can watch them?

    I have no idea if the format has recently been changed or what the issue is, but when I try to get more control over my DVR recordings, I can't. What I mean by that is that I cannot alter "First-Run and Repeats" to "First-Run Only," I cannot specify the specific channel to record on, I cannot say how many episodes I want it to keep, etc. Here is a step-by-step guide of what I do and what the problem is:
    I press the "menu" button on the remote. I scroll down to DVR. I select the option of "manage series recordings." I select one of my shows. I'll use "Masters of Sex" as my example. I select "Masters of Sex." It's at this point where I get a problem. When I select "Masters of Sex," the only option I get is to cancel the series. No option to only record first-runs. No option to keep only 3 episodes instead of 5. No option to change it so it saves until I manually record it. Nothing. I've tried not selecting "Masters of Sex" and instead using the right arrow button to scrol over to the settings of the show. But nothing happens when I do that. It doesn't give me access to these options. This is incredibly frustrating because not only do the shows delete automatically at a certain point, but it records EVERY SINGLE AIRING OF EVERY SINGLE SHOW I RECORD. This means I have to go through several times a day to the "Scheduled Recordings" section and delete scheduled recordings of shows I have already seen. It's absolutely ridiculous, particularly for cable shows, which air episodes frequently throughout the week. Please help me if you can.
    Put simply, I cannot change the settings on how I record each show.

  • Re: More control over html tags needed

    I have trying for a while to find an elegant solution to printing reports in such a way as to have headers and footers repeated on every printed page.
    <BR><BR><BR>
    The two main solutions seem to be either using PDF (using FOP) or controlling the size of the regions anually (by hardcoding heights etc.). I am confident that with more control over the html tags (or the ability to place my own) around certain areas the problem could be solved very simply with CSS.
    <BR><BR><BR>
    What I would like is a way to change the way that Apex treats table headers.
    <BR><BR><BR>
    Presently it places the headers within a tbody tag and the uses th for every column. Ideally I would like to see this changes from tbody to thead. Given that the chances of this happening in the near future are minimal (not something that I am upset about as it would not be logical to change such things every time someone wants things to suite them better), I would like to be able to place a tag either before or after the tbody tag.
    <BR><BR><BR>
    Something like:
    <BR><BR><BR>
    div id="tableheaders"
    <BR><BR><BR>
    If anyone knows how to do this your help will be greatly appreciated. Given that, printing repeated headings can be controlled relatively simply.

    Hello Andrew,
    I believe the following might be of help - placing <thead> and </thead> around headers

  • Cannot select stroke control or swatch panel

    I created a line (stroke). I am following along with the Pluralist Brochrue creation video tutorial. I cannot click on the stroke weight options in the toolbar, I cannot select or make changes to the swatch panel options, even though the line is selected. Any ideas?

    That's the sort of thing, if it happens in many files, that would indicate corrupt preferences. For that see Replace Your Preferences
    If it's only this file, check to see if the object is locked (not likely if you are able to select it) and also see Remove minor corruption by exporting

  • Is there an easier way to see all my texts from one friend?  The harder way is just clicking "see more messages" over and over again on the iPhone.

    Hi Everyone!
    I would like to be able to see (and possibly print out) all the texts that I have exchanged with one of my contacts.  Right now, I only know how to see the older texts by clicking "see more messages" every time I want to go back further in our history. 
    Thanks for reading my issue!

  • More control over Desktop switching?

    There are some Desktop switching behaviors that I find to be inconvenient and annoying under Lion, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of any workarounds.
    I open applications in various desktops in order to organize my work. For example, when I am working on a remote web site, I might have a browser window and Terminal window running ssh running in one Desktop. At the same time, I might have another Terminal windows and an Emacs window open in another Desktop when I'm working on and testing shell scripts that run on my Mac. I might have other Terminal, Emacs, and browser windows open in other Desktops for other purposes, at the same time. When I switch from one task to another, all I need to do is use Mission Control to switch desktops.
    However, if I happen to be working in a given Desktop and I close one of my windows -- say, for example, one of my Emacs windows -- I am sometimes switched to another Desktop with all of the windows that I have open that are associated with a different task. This is annoying, to say the least. This also happens sometimes if I empty my Trash, and also under other similar situations.
    Yes, I know I can prevent all automatic Desktop switching by un-checking System Preferences->Mission Control->When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for the application. However, if I do this, then I can't switch to an open application any more via the Command-Tab application list or by clicking on an open application's icon in the Dock.
    In other words, the System Preferences->Mission Control->When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for the application option is far too overbearing. It's all-or-nothing, and it reminds me of using a sledge-hammer when a scalpel is needed.
    Ideally, I'd like to be able to select the following optional behavior: no automatic switching of Desktops, but if I manually select a running app via the Command-Tab list or the Dock, I will then be switched to that application's Desktop. In other words, the OS will not switch Desktops if I close a window, but it will switch to an app's Desktop if I explicitly select that app manually.
    This is not some sort of bizarre, far-fetched behavior. Many of the desktop managers that run under Windows and under X-Windows do indeed provide this functionality. And it fits ergonomically and logically into many people's work patterns.
    So do any of you know how this capability could be enabled under Mission Control in Lion?
    Thanks in advance.
    PS to the admins of this web site: could you add 10.7.1 to the list of products we can choose from in our profiles? Thanks!

    This was driving me crazy and went throught the whole When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for the application thing.  I fixed it by right-clicking on the Finder icon in the dock, choosing Options, and assigning it to All Desktops.

  • MSI NX8500GT 256MB...need just a *bit* more power...

    I recently purchased Rome Total War to kill some time while my XBox 360 is being repaired.  The game runs flawlessly on the highest settings with one tiny exception - when I increase game speed to 3x on the tactical map, the game becomes nearly unplayable.  Even mouse and keyboard become slightly unresponsive (making it very hard to go back to normal speed).
    I have the NX8500GT-TD256E (http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=1198#) with core overclocked to 576Mhz, DDR2 at 512Mhz.  I have found that overclocking much higher produces terrible instability.
    Should I purchase another of these cards and go SLI?  Or would I be better off spending the $40 or so more and getting an 8600?

    Quote from: jason str on 01-April-08, 23:30:14
    Good choice.
    Better than 2 8600s in sli by far.
    Make sure your power supply has a pcie connector to power the card first though. Usually labeld but not always its a 6 pin plug.
    Yeah, it does.

  • Same problem just a bit more confusing..

    This is confusing and i have no idea what to do. Any tips?

  • VOLUME I need a bit more

    Hi
    Just purchased some new in ear phones for my iPod Touch and they need just a bit more volume on some music.
    I assume the Touch cannot drive my new ones as well the old ones.
    I wish there was a way to make your own EQ rather than select from the list, both options would be good, pick one or make one.....
    I suppose they are keeping it down to stop ear damage, but some out here maybe a bit harder of hearing than others and need a bit more...............

    Hi
    This maybe the answer I was looking for.
    Listning the the songs in iTunes, if they seem quiet then.........
    Right clicking the song>get info>options>volume adjustment...
    I assume the gain in volume is then saved into the track so will stay that way when copied over to the Touch.

  • Total control over component placement?

    Hi,
    I've been messing around for a while with applets and got to something quite decent i think, it's a paint program that mimics the program "paint" from windows, without a few of the more advanced functions.
    Anyways, i wanted to make myself a small program to help me code on some other programming projects, it's a simple program where you pick a file to write to and it writes in a certain format. But i've been trying to get full control over where i place my components, and no matter what i use (setBounds, setLocation, setSize) they just seem to be drawn one after the other and placed "randomly".
    I made a frame and a content panel wich i used setContentPane on, but i still can't place my elements like i want to...
    Can someone point me to a site that explains the whole layout system, or just explain to me how i need to set up my window frame + panel so that i can freely move components on it?

    Here is the tutorial for using LayoutManagers:
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/index.html
    You generally shouldn't try to set the position and size of components manually. It's usually much better to use a LayoutManager. If you really need to, here's how:
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/none.html
    But bear in mind what is said here:
    "Although it's possible to do without a layout manager, you should use a layout manager if at all possible. A layout manager makes it easier to adjust to look-and-feel-dependent component appearances, to different font sizes, to a container's changing size, and to different locales. Layout managers also can be reused easily by other containers as well as other programs.
    If a container holds components whose size isn't affected by the container's size or by font and look-and-feel and language changes, then absolute positioning might make sense. Desktop panes, which contain internal frames, are in this category. The size and position of internal frames doesn't depend directly on the desktop pane's size. The programmer determines the initial size and placement of internal frames within the desktop pane, and then the user can move or resize the frames. A layout manager is unnecessary in this situation.
    Another situation in which absolute positioning might make sense is that of a custom container that performs size and position calculations that are particular to the container, and perhaps require knowledge of the container's specialized state. This is the situation with split panes. "

  • Swatches Panel Colorbook Colors way off in AICS6

    Example just for illustration:
    I open a new AICS5.5 and AICS6 doucument and fill a rectangle with PMS 485 (Bright red) from the PMS Colorbooks. I understand that the new + Books in AICS6 are LAB. The color in the actual rectangle in AICS6 looks very close to a PMS 485 in a swatch book (yeah!). The color rectangle in AICS5 looks a bit more orange, but not horribly off.
    My problem is with the SWATCHES PANEL ITSELF. In AICS6 all the swatches appear really off and generally desaturated? For instance the 485 swatch in AICS6 looks like a "rust" color (certainly not a true red of any kind). I realize that you should never rely on a computer monitor to make Spot Color decisions, but really, do they need to display this far off? What can the color look so good in the document and so lousy in the swatches panel? If I change the document mode from RGB to CMYK, should not the swatches panel change to match?
    Here is a cut-n-paste from what I am getting - looks at the measured values in Photoshop.

    this is what I get pretty close you might have different color settings and you might have different previews turned on like overprint preview though I do not see any difference when change to overprint preview but I think there is something else going on with your CS 5. Did you check you actual color book to see which version is closer it looks to me that your CS 5 version is more like PMS Warm Red which more vermillion.

  • Acrobat 9: Control over font in text box

    Versions: OS X 10.8.5 with Acrobat Pro 9, latest patch.
    I am experimentally preparing a four day training course by adding my instructor information to a PDF of the slide show.  There are only 850 slides, so it makes sense to experiment with this small document.
    All is going well.  I have created some custom stamps.  Acrobat has only crashed twice, losing not more than two hours work as a result.  I am optimistic I will be good to go in 10 more days.
    I have just copied some test into a text box and it copied as black and blue text with a larger font than the standard red font that I have been seeing until now.
    It occurs to me that this implies there may be some control over the text.  I realize that Acrobat is not meant to be a document preparation tool, so I hunted around somewhat for a way to change the text box text to not-red, gave up and I have been putting up with it until now.
    However, there are implications (but no clearly stated solutions) that there is a way to change the font, size and colour of text in text boxes.
    Do you know how?  I cannot work it out, nor can I find a solutoin.  I can see that the Commenting preference pane offers Small Medium and Large text.  There does not seem to be any other control other than the style (italic, bold, superscript, subscript) that is offered in the context menu.
    Hints?  Thoughts? 

    Pryanja.
    Thanks again.  If offers a dropdown for Colour, a box for style (plain, bold italic etc) and a button marked more, but they seem to do nothing at all.  They don't change what I type, and they don't affect selected text.  Looks to me tha they just take up some toolbar space.
    Is it possible that it does not work on Mac?

  • Using more than one front panel at the same time

    I have a main program where I can call sub vi’s and then the sub vi’s front panel opens.
    I want to use/see/operate more than one front panel at the same time. How I can do it?
    For example when I close the main program it won’t close before I close all the sub vi’s front panels.
    I use event case to call these sub vi’s. Can I close all vi's using one button?

    I wouldn't use subVIs for display, at least not if you plan to have them open all the time. Instead, I would suggest that you have one loop with a FP VI which will talk to the FP all the time and will pass to the data to the other loops through a variable or a functional global.
    Then, you can use a tab control to organize your display. If there is no specific reason for not having the graphs in the same VI, you can use a tab control to organize it. If you can't, you can also use subpanels to display the VIs and put several subpanels in your VI.
    If you still want to display the VIs seperately, you can control their positions and sizes through their proerty nodes, but I don't think there's any reason for this.
    To learn more, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide. I think it has some tips about application design.
