Move Brush Adjustment! Copy Settings!

This feature needs to be implented now! For example you take 2 shots of a model, but with slightly different position, it sucks having to redraw a whole new brush on the next photo. Would be great to be able to sync then just drag the brush pin into place. Like how you can with the radial fand ND filter. And it would be awesome to be able to copy the settings of one, and the paste them onto another pin on another area or another photo.Right now its so time consuming having to sync brush adjumstnes, erase them, then repaint where I want the same settings applied to a different part of another picture.
Second, need to be able to select multiple or all pins, to be able to move them at the same time. Same for for the ND, radial, spot healing pins.
Third, we need to be able to copy brush settings via right clicking the pin, as well as maybe in the brush panel at the top so its something like like:
Mask: New | Edit | Copy | Paste

I campaigned heavily for this feature and similar UI tweaks on LR5Beta forums. Those forums seems to have been deleted, but it looks like this is a feature implementation being considered by Adobe:

Copy/Capture Adjustment Layer settings using Javascript

Hi,
For last couple of days I'm trying to copy adjustment layer settings via Javascript after adjustment layer has been already created.
General idea is to capture adjustment layer settings and save them to JSON file for future preset etc. I was hoping to capture raw data ( getData(stringIDToTypeID('legacyContentData'))) and store it in JSON file base64 encoded.
I'm able to capture raw data but I'm not able to restore it to the adjustment layer using putData or something similar.
Capture raw data of adjustment layer:
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var layer = doc.activeLayer;
ref.putEnumerated(charIDToTypeID("Lyr "), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt"));
var desc = executeActionGet(ref).getList(stringIDToTypeID('adjustment')).getObjectValue(0);
rawData = desc.getData(stringIDToTypeID('legacyContentData'));
Trying to restore raw data:
   var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
        var ref = new ActionReference();
        ref.putEnumerated(cTID('AdjL'), cTID('Ordn'), cTID('Trgt'));
        desc.putReference(cTID('null'), ref);
        aldesc = new ActionDescriptor();
        aldesc.putEnumerated(sTID("presetKind"), sTID("presetKindType"), sTID("presetKindCustom"));
        var list1 = new ActionList();
// Not sure what to do here ...
        aldesc.putList(cTID('Adjs'), list1);
        desc.putObject(cTID('T   '), id, aldesc);
        executeAction(cTID('setd'), desc, mode);
If I'm using above code with code generated by i.e. script listener or action translated into javascript it works (at least for curves), but I'd rather use getData/putData so I can capture already created adjustment layers with out need to code each layer separately. toStream and fromStream also would work, but I wasn't able to restore data using these methods too.
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for the replies you guys. It's not hardware related Mylenium. My machine was purpose built for AE work and this is a very simple comp that is nothing remotely as intensive as some of the truly complex and effects ladened projects I've done before. It's even simpler than the one in the same project where the other adjustment layer is working properly. The layer is going white before an effect is even being added, so it's not that. I'll double check the OpenGL when I can get back on my machine in a bit, but I never changed anything before changing comps, so I don't think that's it.
I'm guessing that it is probably related to the layer settings itself. There's no 3D layers so it's not that Dave. I'm going to check Rick's idea when I can because the white solid behavior sounds exactly what he is talking about.

Lightroom bug: activation state of brush adjustment lost

Since the introduction of Lightroom 2 through 2.4 there has been a bug in the operation of the local brush adjustment. It's as follows.
Start or edit a local brush adjustment so that the little activation bullet (radio like button) appears. Toggle before/after by typing . When returning the after view (after/before/after) the local brush bullet is no longer active, thus forcing me to reselect it. The behavior is especially irritating when I'm zoomed in so the active brush indicator not view (scrolled off). I am then required to zoom out so I can find it and click to reactivate it, then zoom in to continue my editing. I see no reason why the active brush should not remain active between toggling between after/before/after with "\". I prefer to do my before/after viewing with the full frame rather than one of the split pane views because I want to see as much of the image as possible. I've reported this issue directly to Adobe a few times with no response or fix.
p.s. while I'm at it (I'll repost in feature requests). The location of the brush adjustment indicator corresponds to where the mouse down first occurred. I should be able to move the indicator to where it's more convenient after placing it, regardless of where the brush strokes occur. For some images I have a number of local adjustments in the same region. They become crowded, making it hard to distinguish one brush indicator from another.

Hi
Good point, but does not work on all density settings, noda.

On a Windows 7 computer I installed Firefox 9.0.1 and in my edit menu I have NO Preferences at the bottom, so there is no way to adjust any settings

On a Windows 7 computer I installed Firefox 9.0.1 and in my edit menu I have NO Preferences at the bottom, so there is no way to adjust any settings The edit menu opens up and I have undo, redo, cut, copy, paste,delete,select all, find....but NO Preferences at the bottom. This is a new laptop and nothing like skype is installed. The Firefox install is new today 1/6/12

Hi bruce,
What are you actually looking for? On Windows 7 your options will be under ''Tools > Options''. If you have the ''Firefox'' menu, you can hit ''Alt'' to temporarily enable the menu bar.
Your System details say Linux. Your say you are on Windows 7 though, correct?

How do you move Compressor 3.05 settings from one Mac to another?

How do you move settings from one Mac to another?
I have Compressor 3.05 installed on two Intel Macs: a MacPro tower and a MacBook Aluminum. I created a new setting on the MacBook, and can see it in Library -> App Support -> Compressor as "<name>.setting" Then I moved to the Mac Pro for speed and created a few more settings. I copied these settings from the Mac Pro libary and put them in the MacBook library; restarted Compressor on the MacBook but still cannot see those presets from within Compressor. I hate to re-create all those settings, but I do move between both computers depending on what I am doing.
What am I missing? Thanks.

To copy single settings.
1. Drag & Drop your setting from the Compressor Settings window to i.e. the desktop
2. Copy .setting file to an other Mac
3. Drag & Drop the .setting file(s) over to the Settings window in Compressor
To copy settings groups (folders)
1. Go to */Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Compressor*
2. Copy the settings group folder you want to your i.e. the desktop
3. Make sure Compressor is not open on the other Mac
4. Copy the settings group folder to the same location on the other Mac
5. Open Compressor
Hope this helps

Lightroom 4.4 Brush adjustment problem

I installed LR 4.4 on my recent bought new desktop computer. I noticed the brush adjustment only work globally when I tried to move the slide to make adjustment after selected the brush. I searched on internet and found silimar complaints. I post this issue here and look for the support from Adobe or any user who knows the solution. Thanks!

After setting your sliders are you brushing on the main image to change the area you want to adjust?
See this video tutorial:

Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously?

Hi Apple community,
This is my first go at this so be kind,
My question concerns launchpad. Coming from Snow Leopard I had been using spaces. I like to keep certain bundles of programs on separate desktops, for example all word processing related tasks in one place. I have set up the equivalent on Yosemite.
My problem is concerns the loss of exposé. Now I know when you swipe into launch pad you get a very similar effect but the issue I am having concerns the "zoom out" effect when you swipe into launchpad. With exposé all open apps/pages etc would be fully exposed - in my case several (sometimes as many as 9 word documents). What I am running into is when I do this in / into launch pad the "pile" of docs is exposed but they are still overlapping so I can't get a good look at which is which and visually identify where I want to navigate to.
My question is this; Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously? If so, instructions on how to do so would be greatly appreciated. Any alternative suggestions to doing this outside of launchpad are also welcome. If there is an exposé app for example, I would be quite willing to go that route.
My main concern is being able to quickly (ie a touchpad gesture) expand all the open pages so I can bounce between them.
Much thanks from a loyal Apple friend.

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

How do I not sync notes with my email? I have a business email on my iphone as well as my husbands iphone. Now all of my notes are on his phone, and all of his notes he previously has on his iphone are gone. We have never adjusted any settings or hooked it up to itunes, I only added the shared email account to his phone. Help???

Hi StoneLeadyFarms,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like notes on your devices may have synced when the email account was added, as described here:
iOS: Syncing Notes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4191
Notes are associated with an IMAP email account or iCloud account. To sync Notes, enable Notes for each account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars or Settings > iCloud.
You can stop syncing notes by tapping Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars or Settings > iCloud, tapping the email address that you added, and switching Notes to the off position.
Additionally, if your husband has backed up his iPhone to iTunes or iCloud, the steps in this article can help with recovering the lost notes from his device:

I am backing up my macbook 10.5 to an external harddrive probably formatted for a PC. I was trying to move instead of copy and the folder partially copied then said i did not have permission to move all my files.

I am backing up my macbook 10.5 to an external hard drive probably formatted for windows. it was let me move most of my files. however i tried to move instead of copy a very large folder (60gb) and it transferred most of the files onto the external hard drive then gave me an error message saying i did not have permision to move all the files. i am worred that some were moved and some were not. it is showing all files when i checked for some of them
my question is if i move instead of copy and i get an error message does os x just copy the remaining files instead of moving them?

Typically when you drag files from one drive to another, Macs copy them, not move them. You usually have to copy them and then delete the originals.
Which files were you trying to back up? If this involved system files or application files then there may have been hidden files, or files with certain permissions set on them.
If you're doing this as a gneral backup I would not use a PC formatted drive since that introduces its own set of issues. I would use a Mac formatted drive and then a cloning tool (Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper, others).

Aperture crashes when adjusting print settings.

Hello,
Macbook Pro OSX 10.4.11
Aperture 1.5.6
ATI Graphics Card
I've had Aperture crash on me about 6 times today. Each time I am adjusting my print settings. Very frustrating. Within the last 48 hrs. Aperture has lost a handful of images. They were there one minute, the next they were gone. Now it's crashing when I'm adjusting print settings.
Also... probably shouldn't post this here but... My computer shuts down when running on less than 33% battery power. Just shuts itself right down... no warning, nothing.
Any help... HUGELY appreciated.

Did you ever figure this out? My MBP is doing the same thing. I'm trying to print contact sheets. I can configure the images for the sheet, but the "Printer" box show "No printer selected" and I cannot click on the text to add or type in a printer.
Below it, the "Print Settings" button is active, but clicking on it crashes Aperture within 3 or four seconds.
I think this must be an Aperture problem as I can print from PS and from the various Nikon programs I have.

Cursor doesn't change to bush when using brush adjustment

I'm running into an issue when I using the brush adjustment in LR 5.5. The cursor doesn't change from the pointer to the brush cursor. Does any one have a fix for this? I'm running the latest version of LR. I have an 2011 iMac running OS 10.9.4 Any help to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Same thing here. I also find that Apple Mail is the most frequent offender. Still, like you have mentioned, it is not limited just to mail. This was not a problem for me in Mountain Lion. However, I am noticing that this is a problem for users as far back as 2006 and for every OS release since. It seems that this is not a OS- specific issue. Or if it is, Apple hasnt addressed it in 6 OS releases. This seems like it would be an easy fix. Pretty annoying that it doesnt "just work," right?

How do I MOVE images WITHOUT COPYING, please?....

In Aperture 3.5.1 on Mac OS 10.9.1 and I have no accounts such as Flickr or Facebook listed in Aperture Account Preferences.
Project A has no Albums and Project B has various Albums containing images which were directly imported from camera...
I wish to MOVE only (not copy) some image/images from Project B's individual Albums to Project A.
If I drag-n-drop the image, Aperture only creates a copy in the new destination. I don't want so much duplication.
I have looked in the Help docs but cannot see an answer to my particular question, so I'm here.
Any help appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Robin

This is one of the places where Apple has disingenuously presented Aperture. It _is_ confusing.
Somewhat counter-intuitively, Albums (but not Smart Albums, which are different creatures in one important way) are always independent of Projects.
The position of an Album in the Library Inspector is, in terms of your data, meaningless. You can move any Album anywhere in the Library structure shown in the Library Inspector, and, other than where it is shown to you in the Inspector, nothing is changed. Album location has no bearing on Album content or on Project content.
(It may help to quickly review the parts of Aperture and how they inter-relate.)
As such, even though you may organize the containers in your Library in the Library Inspector so that Albums are shown as children of Projects, they have no relationship to any Project. (Selecting a Project will not show you the contents of any Albums that are children of that Project. Moving an Album that is a child of a Project to be a child of another Project in no way changes the contents of either of the Projects or of the Album. And so on.)
I emphasize the above so that we can remove "Project" from your question, which becomes simple: how to move (not copy) an Image from one Album to another Album.
As Ernie has pointed out, this cannot be done in a single action. (I don't know why.) You must copy the Image into the second Album, and then remove it from the first Album.
I find it helpful to have two Browsers open when comparing containers and moving Images. After selecting on of your Albums, hold down "{Option}" while selected the other one. You can't drag images between the Browsers, but the container names are easy to find because they are highlighted in the Library Inspector, and you can drag images and drop them on the container name in the Inspector.
HTH,

Copy Settings to multiple images - STILL A NOT WORKING AFTER MANY VERSIONS!

I have reported the problem of pasting settings to multiple images for many versions and this simple bug is STILL present in LR4!
In develop module, make changes to an image, click Copy button, select settings to copy.
Now, select a range or a number of images to which you want to paste the settings, click Paste button. Guess what? Only the first image gets the settings!
This functionality should work and is even documented in the manual. There are other ways of copying settings but I can never remember how to do this.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a genuine bug that only seems to affect a few people (I did a web search for V3), or do people just not use this function?
Please developers, fix this bug if it really is a bug!

Thanks Dorin for the information.
I guess I am just frustrated that the program does not work the way it is documented. There are two very prominent buttons, Copy & Paste and they don't work as documented or as you would expect them to.
With sync you have to navigate menus to do what one click of the mouse should accomplish. All I want is some acknowledgement from Adobe that this is a bug and for it to be adressed. As a long-time IT person I know this would be VERY easy to fix. If it cannot be fixed then update the documentation.
Oh well, enough said. I still love LR!!!
