Need help with a copy of an old document Using Adobe PSE 8.0

I have a copy of a document (Will) written in ink, in 1782. The problem is, about half of the ink has faded over time, so that only the bottom portion of the Will is still readable. I wish to be able to alter the image so that somehow someway I will be able to read the "faded" ink. I have three different copies of this document, as people attempted to copy the document, as best they could. I have been (told) that one image is very close to what the actual document looks like. I'm not experienced, in altering scanning settings (ex. HP Officejet 6500, All-in-One). I know how to scan documents (at the simpliest level), but I'm not very experienced in using the Adobe PSE 8.0 software. So, I don't know if it's capable of helping me with this problem or not. The ink is very faded, you can still see most of the words (of the faded ink) but just not enough to be able to decern what each word is. Transcribing this Will, is of the utmost importance, because it may lead to answers about the family of this individual. Any tuturials or suggestions, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, for your time, consideration, and cooperation, I truly appreciate it.

These are two samples of the "faded ink", that I want to resurrect, so to speak. I scanned them in grayscale.

I need help with the remake of an old logo into vectors!

Hello everybody,
This is my first post here! I hope I'll get some information about my problem.
So, I need to remake an old and pretty ugly logo, for a friend of mine, into vectors, because right now he has it only as jpg. It works for most places, but since he wants to upgrade his website, he needs a png with transparent background. I've been trying to work around this for a couple of days now, but I simply cannot get the desired result. Today I decided to try and draw over using pen tool, but as you will see from the original file, it has this "fade away in dots" effect, which I have no idea how to do. If it's possible for someone, I would really appreciate the help. I apologize for, probably the stupid way of doing it, but I am still learning how to work with the program and I'm still an amateur!
Thank you in advance and have a great day!
Here are the pictures.
ORIGINAL JPG
The drawing I made using Pen Tool, not smoothed

Is this really the only way of doing it? I tried looking up the font used for this, but the logo was originally made in the early 90's and the font was probably custom made, just for the logo. Any other ideas instead of making every circle because that's gonna take a looong time. I had the idea of using the feather effect, but I couldn't find a way to apply it on only one side of the object. Is there such an option?

Need help with attempting copy of 1 line of text

Hello All,
I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction. I've been using DW for many years and write php/mysql code with it. Over the weekend, I downloaded and instalt a brand new copy of CS4 .I'm trying to learn all the new ins and outs.
I'm using Dreamweaver and am writing a php script. I'm in Code View and have my page structured with all the php code at the top of the page between my <?php and ?> symbols and all my html form code at the bottom. I'm attempting to copy one line of php code from my script to paste in the same script just a bit farther done in the code.
I hightlight the line of code using the left button of the mouse and then press Cntl-C. When I do this, DW highlights all the php code from the open symbol to the closing symbol and then moves the screen view to the top of the page. This same behavior happens if I highlight, and right click to select copy from the pop-up menu.
I'm only trying to copy one line of code so this is really very odd to me!
Do I have a setting value wrong?
Is anybody else experiencing this??
And help at all???
Thanks,
Dennis

This has been discussed to death. Just click the top item in the More Like This box on the right.
It's an intermittent problem. I have never once encountered it in working on several machines and operating systems. Others find themselves constantly plagued. The key to finding out what causes it lies in finding the common element that triggers the problem. No one has managed to do that so far.
It appears that making a change in the page before trying to copy eliminates the problem. Others have also found that switching workspace clears the problem.

I need help with restoration of two very old photos.

The first photo, dated 1883, is printed on cardboard. The picture is faded of course, but it appears the cardboard fibers are showing through. Any attempt to sharpen just sharpens the fibers. I tried replacing the color of the fibers and that didn't work either.
The second photo, again very old, has been creased and wrinkled as though someone balled it up in their hand. It is black and white. I haven't a clue on how to fix this.
Thank you for any help
Frances

Are you sure you are seeing the cardboard fibers or was the photo
printed on imitation canvas & that is what you are seeing. Either way
about all you can do is use the smudge tool set at one pixel & go around
& smooth out what looks like fibers or just leave it looking like canvas.

You can try ironing the photo to get it flat. Place the photo face down
on a flat smooth surface & place a moist paper over the back & iron with
a warm iron until most of the wrinkles are out. Then scan it at about
300 DPI. You can then either use the smudge tool in paint mode to fill
the cracks or use a small paint brush.

Need help with two-factor auth for windows logon using CSS

Hi all,
I have been trying for a couple of days now to get two-factor auth for windows logon working on my X1C Type 3443.
I am running Windows 7 (64-bit) with Lenovo System Update 5.06.0007, Lenovo Solution Center 2.6.001.00, ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software 5.9.9.7282, ThinkVantage Client Security Solution 8.30.0031.00. If it's of any importance, my X1C was originally shipped with Windows 8, but I couldn't stand it and reinstalled Windows 7 instead.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the above programs in the following order:
1) Install System Update and reboot
2) Install Solution Center and reboot
3) Install CSS and reboot
4) Install Fingerprint Software and reboot
Everything seems to be working fine by itself, except that when I try to configure two-factor auth in CSS, the Fingerprint tab (on the left of the GUI) is greyed out and CSS tells me that I have no fingerprints enrolled. The Fingerprint Software, however, is working just fine and shows me as having a fingerprint enrolled there.
I have spent all morning searching for a solution, but everything I find dates back to 2011, when ThinkPads still came with ThinkVantage Toolbox. I obviously can't download that anymore, so I'm at a loss. Can someone please help? Thanks!

Reinstalled leopard, need help getting time machine to recover old document

Hey,
I reinstalled leopard with completely deleting everything and reinstalling. I was planning to use time machine to restore my computer. Anyways, when I finally got to the point where it was done reinstalling and leopard was working, it asked me do you want to load from time machine, so I clicked it and it failed. But it said there was a way I could do this at another time. Does anyone know how I go about doing this so I can get all the stuff I backed up on time machine back onto my newly reformatted mac?

Thank you for asking. I solved my problem last night. I reloaded the system using the "erase and restore" option this time. Then, once I reached the Time Machine level, TM could see the old files. I did have to restore the files one area at a time. I could not launch a general system restore.

Hi Kathy1963-1964,
Welcome to Adobe Forum,
You have photoshop elements 12, you can try downloading without the akamei downloader .

Please read the " very important instruction" prior to downoload.
I would request you to disable the firewall & the antivirus prior to download.
Let us know if it worked.

The only way around this is to delete the apps that require the other Apple ID and download them again with yours.
Or simply log out of iTunes & App stores then log in with updated AppleID.

I need help fixing itunes crashes on my old mac

i need help fixing itunes crashes on my old mac

Thanks for your reply,
I have both the silver discs specific to my iMac and Mac Pro models that you receive with your Mac, and a general copy of Snow Leopard that you buy from the store.
I used the silver disc that is specific for my iMac to install the drivers, and Boot Camp 3.0 on my iMac. But with the Mac Pro, the software is older and only has Boot Camp 2.0, thus I'm wondering if I can simply use the software on the general copy of Snow Leopard I own, or does the silver disc contain specific drivers for my Mac Pro that I need?
I'm under perhaps the wrong impression that the silver discs that you get with your Mac purchase contain drivers for your specific Mac model which you can't get from the general Snow Leopard disc.
Thanks.

HT201541 I need help with updating my browser.

I need help with updating my browser. Its telling me that Safari is outdated.

That is a very old version belonging to Snow Leopard. I take it you are not actually running Yosemite.
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

The program software should install fine (others report using it successfully) but the difficulty has always been registering it. To do this you need to find a program (that often people discard, unfortunately) called ce2kreg.exe and run that. That's where you enter your registration details, and how you get rid of all the noises that CE2000 will put all over your audio otherwise (unless you severely restrict the facilities you can use).
It used to be the case that if you'd lost the registration program but had the serial numbers, that Adobe would send you a copy of ce2kreg.exe, but somehow I doubt that they'd be willing to do this any more - it was a long time ago now, after all.

Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service

Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of. I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit" issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
(and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks', "Adobe phone-in experiences")

Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
So I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself, I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products" to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE" button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is, how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
So after thinking this all out, and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year, I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however, if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending" with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly, and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add).., except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form.... Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of. First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time) of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one, basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it... and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly, the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4) If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that? Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...
