My latest project. Critique please.

Here's my first real project in Photoshop, I'd like to know what y'all think of it, and what I need to work more on.I'd like to say thanks to 99jon, his help was great.

Nice job. I would agree with Peru Bob that the angle of Wonder Woman's shadow needs to be adjusted (rotated to the right a few degrees.) I would also shift the shadow more to the left so that it lines up better with her feet.
Also, a basic concept to remember about cast shadows is that they are at their most intense (darkest) nearest the object that is casting the shadow and gradually get lighter and softer the further away it gets from the object. In other words, if you soften the upper part of the shadow, e.g. with a soft eraser set at a low opacity, this will give it a more natural look. For example, look at the gas pump on the right. See how the shadow is darker closest to the pump and gradates to a lighter tone the further away it gets? Your Wonder Woman shadow does just the opposite and gets darker instead of lighter.

Albums have vanished from Project! - Please Help

Hello there...
Every few months i create a new Project folder and then create albums within.
My latest Project folder had several albums, one light table and one book (in process).
The other morning i opened Aperture and all the albums etc.within this Project had vanished!
I could not believe my eyes. As i'd been editing until very late the previous night i assumed i must have done something silly without realising...
I created a new album in the same Project and put about 50 images into it.
Today i opened Aperture to continue work on this Album and AGAIN it has gone!
I searched in all other projects, nothing.
So i did a test and created an album in the Project with only one photo in it. Quit Aperture and re-launched and again it's gone, vanished.
This makes no sense. Yes my hard drive is totally full, running slow etc. and i'm about to transfer a heap of files to an external hard drive, but nevertheless i had no warning dialog box from Aperture (as i would expect). And everything else is ok.
I did another test and created a New Project with just one photo and made an album and light table with the one photo. Quit and re-launched and it is there... So it seems to be only the one Project which was fine for weeks...
Can somebody please help me work out/understand what is going on. I've had this version of Aperture (2.1.4) for quite some time with no worries...
Any ideas or thoughts would be most appreciated
Many Thanks
Sam

Seeing as no one else has any contribution i thought you may like some possible lines of thought.
How many images in the Project. 1000 works, more and things begin to get less predictable, 5000 is asking for trouble. Did you do a lot of work then close while possibly some background processing is going on. Leave it a while before closing.
Is it Project specific it sounds like it may be. Is it File specific, do you format the card in the camera frequently.
Try different options to make the Albums Q field >Album from selection. Drag to Album. Highlight images then Album from selection. etc. Allan

I HAVE COMPLETED SEVERAL IMOVIES AND FINALIZED JUST FINE. NOW I GET THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE FROM MY LATEST PROJECT. "The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (File already open with write permission)"! What is going on

Hi
Error -49 opWrErr File already open with write permission
Trash the preference files while application is NOT Running.
Easiest way to find out if this is the problem is by:
• Create a new User-Account
• Log out of Your old one and into this
• Re-try iMovie
If it now works OK - then 99.9% the problem is iMovie pref. file that needs to be trashed.
from Karsten Schlüter
Some users notice on exporting larger projects from within iMovie that this operation is aborted with an 'error -49'
This issue occurs only on MacOs machines using 10.7x
try switching-off the Local Mobile Backup
in Terminal copy/paste
sudo tmutil disablelocal
Re-launch Mac

Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore. It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version. Please help? I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore. It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version. Please help? I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

After mixing a project i select bounce and burn the disc that is burned plays on any cd player but when i try to burn the wav or mp3 file that was created the resulting disc will only play in a computer this also happens with video projects help please

after mixing a project i select bounce and burn the disc that is burned plays on any cd player but when i try to burn the wav or mp3 file that was created the resulting disc will only play in a computer this also happens with video projects help please are there any settings i need to alter as it seems the wav or mp3 file i ceated is being converted to a data file somewhere between the folder and disc drive

Same thing for a movie file.. If you want to play back the movie via a DVD and a DVD player you must create a Movie DVD and not just burn files to a data DVD... as Data DVDs are just storage devices for files and therefore will only work with computers...
Movie DVDs are special formats that include things like menus and special file formats.. so they can playback via a DVD Player...
You will need a 3rd party DVD Burning app like Toast which is what i actually use.... or the more popular DVD Creator app...to create and then burn a Movie DVD that will playback on a DVD Player....

We just came across this as a bug. 1st question is can you click Print Preview while you have the document open? If yes, then have you modified the description of the document (in Document Steup)? If yes to that too, then you've found the bug that can be reproduced.
Please report this to Oracle (and everyone else who comes across this) to get it more attention.

Can't open my project, help please...

I've spent hours and hours on my wedding video project... When I was working on it, iMove suddenly crashed and then I can't open the project any more...
I can't open, edit, duplicate and export the project. It allows me to play it in full screen but the content is incomplete.
My other two projects are fine.
I tried to reinstall iMovie (delete the program and com.apple.pkg.iMovieXXXX files, and reinstall and update) but it didn't help...
I tried to repair the disk permissions but it didn't help...
Could anyone please save me and my project..
I was using Lion and iMovie 11 with the latest updates. My labtop is MBP 15'' mid-2010.
Thanks!

I have the new iPad Air and I'm having trouble connecting to iTunes. When I connect my iPad, my computer recognizes my iPad but iTunes does not. Why is this? I have a Windows 8.1 computer, and I've installed the latest iTunes. Please help!

Please answer ASAP!!

Hi eisense,
I also have a similar problem but not quite the same. First of all, let me give you the setup of the configuration:
-- Desktop PC OS: Windows 8.1 64-bit
-- iTunes version: 11.3.1.2 (latest) for 64-bit
-- iPad Air with 3G/4G SIM slot
-- iOS version: 7.1.2 (11D257)
-- Several USB peripherals: Keyboard, mouse, printer, scanner.
What I want to do is to sync my iPad with iTunes (NOT to charge it via USB). However, I get a strange behaviour 99% of the time (I will talk about the 1% later). The behaviour is the following:
1. I connect the iPad to any USB port of my PC. My desktop PC is a new one, substantially "beefed up".
2. The iPad changes continuously from "Charging" to "Not charging" and vice versa all the time (the change of "charging states" happens roughly every 2 seconds).
3. While doing that, iTunes changes state from recognizing the iPad to "not identifying it properly". It suggests that I disconnect and reconnect it again. No matter how many times I do that, it never does any good.
4. Eventually I get an error (error code: 0xE8000084) but the change of "charging states" goes on and on.
5. During this time I was checking the Windows Device Manager. When the iPad was at the "charging" state the "Apple Mobile Device USB" appeared under the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" section of the Device Manager. When it was not charging, the "Apple Mobile Device USB" disappeared.
6. Even in the case the iPad was charging the "Portable Devices / Apple iPad" entry didn't appear in the Device Manager.
I have read all the posts about the particular error code and about the connectivity issues with iTunes. However, no matter what I have tried I haven't resolved my problem yet. I completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes according to Apple instructions. Rebooted my PC while removing all the other USB peripherals. I stopped and restarted the AMDS service. I hard rebooted the iPad. I switched USB cables. I even tried to sync my iPhone 5S in case it was an iPad problem. All has failed. Even the iPhone has the same behaviour.
NOW, about the 1% I was talking before.
If the iPad is completely charged to 100% (99% is not enough) the problem disappears. During the time that the battery is at 100% the iPad is not charging and at the same time all is fine with iTunes. The problem reappears when the battery goes to 99%.
I don't remember having this problem a few months back. Any ideas?

I can't find my project! Please help. I can see it on the desk top but it will not open.

I have a documentary due tomorrow and it won't play and it's not in my project library in imovie!! HELP PLEASE!!!

Using the Finder, move the Project from your Desktop to the Movies/iMovie Projects folder. Then restart iMovie.

Very simple java project (help please)

Hello. For a project I have to somehow use MouseListener to make something. My idea was to have a rectangle in which a circle (hockey puck) follows the user's mouse and whenever the user places the circle into a certain area the count goes up by one (like a game of hockey). If someone could give me some idea as to where I should start it would be greatly appreciated.
My thanks

This is alwyas [a good place to start|http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/] when you don't have a clue what's going on, and here if you need specifics on MouseListener. And to get movement, then you'll probably want to look here.
Once you have some code and specific questions, literally almost everyone on here will be willing to help you further along the way. When you post code, please use code tags.

My latest project. Critique please.
