On Screen Liquify Brush Resizing Issue

Hello
I love screen brush resizing feature (alt+right click drag) added since version CS5, it works perfect I can say to be addicted to it.
But I believe after some of the recent Photoshop CC updates the behaviour of brush resizing in Liquify menu changed. Now I can describe it as lagged, graduated, it can freeze forcing me to drag the cursor farther (I use wacom tablet). The same time brush resizing outside of Liquify menu works perfect.
Can the problem be associated with my video card?
I will post the same message to photoshop.com as well, just want to be noticed.

It might be an issue specific to your system, as you mention.
Brush resizing (with a mouse) in the Liquify filter for me is perfectly responsive - smooth and quick, just as on the main Photoshop document display.

Photoshop Liquify Brush Size increase/decrease with alt+crtl drag don't work anymore...

Hi :-)
I have installed the last Update to Photoshop CS6 13.0.4...
Now I can't increase/decrease the Brush Size in the Liquify-Dialog anymore (before I installed the update, it works fine with alt+crtl and drag)...
If I press alt+crtl, the "Cancel"-Button is shown as "Revert", but the Brush resizing don't work... :-/
I use a Mac on OS X 10.6.8...
But it seems it has to do with the system... beacause at home I use 10.8.3 and there works everything fine with the 13.0.4 Update!!!

Has the wallpaper resizing issue been fixed for iOS7?

When I upgraded to iOS7, I immediatley downgraded back to iOS6 because I was unable to resize my wallpaper picture and I didn't care for the new look. Does anyone know if the resizing issue has been fixed???

You mean for the Lock Screen, how it won't let you shrink it?
No, that issue still exists in 7.0.3.

Please help-Trying to compress to Mpeg-2 for Convention, also resizing issues

Hello,
I just recently finished making an AMV in Adobe Premiere 5.5, and I am having trouble trying to figure out how to compress it into an Mpeg-2 source for a competition/convention.
I also have these massive black borders on the side of my video that I know is probably due to improper resizing on my part, and although I have tried to remedy this with a new avisynth script of the exported uncompressed AVI (before compressing to MPEG-2), whenever I try to run the avisynth script in either VirtualDubMod or TMPGEnc (the converting program recommended by: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/mpegforcons/) it crashes, although the original video does work.
This is the avisynth script I have created for the post-video:
FFVideoSource("C:\Users\Freeman\Desktop\Fight the Power.avi")
FFCopyrightInfringement("C:\Users\Freeman\Desktop\Fight the Power.avi")
AssumeFPS("23.976")
SSRC(48000)
LanczosResize(720,352)
AddBorders(0,64,0,64)
per the recommendations from the guide listed below
I do not know if the resizing I have set up in the new avisynth script will fix my resizing issues, and I would like to improve that as much as possible, so if someone could clarify for me, that would be greatly appreciated.
You may also notice some audio issues throughout the video, however on further playback this never appears to happen in the same place. I believe this is caused by poor audio quality, and I have a friend of mine working on setting up a lossless source that I will try to recompress with the video before friday, however if someone else might know what is causing this, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the current MPEG-2 I have, however for obvious reasons, I do not consider it acceptable as of yet:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IIKYWRXF
The original export from Premiere is Microsoft AVI Uncompressed, and then attempted to convert to MPEG-2 (I tried multiple settings, they all have the same sizing issues), and as I said before, no matter what I try to do with the avisynth script, it crashes.
I have even tried taking out every line from the new avisynth script except for the first two detailing the location of the video and audio, however this does nothing, it still crashes.
I had to convert all my original source avisynth scripts to AVI files (that are massive, as I am editing from 52 episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood), and so editing the original scripts is impossible at this point, because to my knowledge, that would mean I would have to reconvert them all to AVI, which took over 16 hours, and then that would probably make me have to re-edit this entire video (which if you look at it, based on length and how much work I've put into it: is impossible, especially given the time constraints).
So anything that I can do to fix this will have to be done to the export from Premiere, unless there is a way to work with the AVI's that I made from the avisynth scripts.
The source is primarily 16:9 DVD (Fullmetal Alchemist) and very few parts from a 4:3 DVD (Naruto). (You can recognize these parts in the video, it is whenever someone is rowing in a boat during the lyrics "Row Row")
The avisynth script for all the fullmetal alchemist DVD's is as follows:
mpeg2source("F:\DVD RIPS\Music Video Rips\Brotherhood\Disc 1 (1-7)\MainMovie\FMA_BROTHERHOOD_P1_D1\FMAB 1-7.d2v", cpu=4)
ConvertToYV12()
Spline36Resize(848,480)
#TTempSmooth()
FastLineDarkenMod()
LSFmod(strength=120)
LUTDeRainbow()
And the avisynth script for the one Naruto DVD is as follows:
mpeg2source("F:\DVD RIPS\Music Video Rips\Random\Row Row\MainMovie\ROW ROW\VTS_01_1.d2v")
TFM()
TDecimate()
Spline36Resize(848,636)
Crop(0,78, 0,-78)
These recommendations came from what I could figure out from:
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/avtech31/
If anyone is curious, the song is "Libera me from Hell", and it is 44100 from what I could tell when I ran it in WINAMP (I converted it from mp3 to wav through WINAMP, if there is a better way that I am unaware of, please let me know).
I know this is extremely long, and thank you anyone who has taken their time to look through it, it is greatly appreciated.
The deadline for this is friday (5/20/11), so I need help with this ASAP and thanks,
Dexter

Dexter,
Those "black borders," if they are visible in the Program Monitor, are most likely due to a mis-match between the Source Files and the Sequence Preset.
If they are only showing up upon Export, then there is likely a mis-match between your Sequence and your Export, and could be either with the Aspect Ratio, or if using non-square pixels, the PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio).
I'll defer any commens on AVISynth to the experts here.
Good luck,
Hunt

CS6 Liquify brush size

In my system the liquify brush size goes from 1 to 151 to 301 to 454 and on up.
It it not possible to get smaller brushes like 30 60 100?
CS6 extended Win7 Graphic Accelerator on (this makes no difference in brush steps)

Hi Curt,
Since you PM'd me and asked nicely, I'll respond, but I really can't take any more of this public experimentation with the forum software.
The Liquify brush size does jump in huge increments if you try to change the size by moving the slider with the mouse - probably because they changed the max brush size to 15,000 pixels.
The increments it changes by are much smaller (by 2, not 1) if you use the up and down arrow keys to change the size.
And of course you can type anything you want into the field.
But possibly now the best way to use the tool is to use the right-click and drag gesture, which is now the same as when editing in the main Photoshop display.

How small does the the liquify brush go in PE12?

In Photoshop CS3 it goes down to a single pixel and it also did that in the original PE, But I used PE6 once and it didn't define the brush by pixels - it defined it by levels with the smallest level "1" being quite a few pixels across.
I was hoping that in 12 they might have gone back to having the option for a really tiny liquify brush.
Many thanks for any help.
Alexandra

Yes, it goes to 1 px.

Brush Resize in Liquify - Photoshop CC

I try to resize my brush in liquify with my pen, when I resize a few times, the brush pressure resets. I'm just about to explode of rage.
Also is there are way to disable the ALT+ UP/DOWN motion to change the pressure as well? I just want the brush to change size with ALT+ Left/Right motion
Thanks
Video card drivers are up to date.

I'm using the Intuos 4.
I don't use pen pressure in liquify.
I have this issue with Photoshop CC. I tried installing CS6 and I don't have the issue there.
For obvious reasons, I'd like to use the latest Photoshop, so I'd like to find a solution even though CS6 is doing the job for now.

Anomalies Photoshop CS6 - Liquify Keyboard Brush resizing shortcuts & Selection Alt

Using Photoshop CS6 (13.0.1) Extended with Windows 7 Pro Service Pack1 O.S.
New Box HP Z420 Workstation
Intel Xeon CPU E5-1603 @ 2.80 GHz
16.0 Ram
Issues:
1. Intermittently on any selection - Keyboard Alt key on right of spacebar gives me the double arrow
alt key on left of the spacebar gives me Plus with the submenus.
2. More importantly in the Liquify (Shift+Ctrl+X) intermittently when using the brushes shortcut resize keyboard key they May on May not work ( { or } ) with the
tools on the left side
3 For efficiency shortcut keys are necessary - I use the allot - Fashion Industry
4 Suggestion ?? - I had our Tech Div. check out the keyboard - no issues there

Contact Sheet is a welcome return. So many features can be adapted. I made this a few years ago by sizing up 40 images, and turning off titles, and ‘Flatten Layers’ when making the contact sheet. It was then fairly simple to FT each layer to give some overlap, and use Layer masks for creative affect.
It was eventually incorperated into a poster for the organisation running the event.
Some interesting JDIs (thanks so much for the typed list!).
The Eye dropper changes appeal to me, and Ctrl J now working on Groups is very welcome. Lots more there, but what worries me is that there are apparently twice as many new JDIs in CS6 as there were in CS5, which makes me think I must be missing a lot of the CS5 JDIs. is there a list somewhere?

Why not enable left click brush resizing in liquify tool?

I'm not sure if it can be changed, but, I've never understood why all the menus to change the brush size can only be accessed from te side of the screen.

You can Alt/Opt right click and drag to resize the tool brush sizes in Liquify. It works really well and is very fast.

Brush resize in Liquify doesn't work

Mac OS X 10.10 (fully updated!)
Photoshop CC 2014 (latest release!)
Wacom Intuos 5 Medium (newest drivers!)
Normal brush increase / decrease with a keystroke setup of [ and ] works fine.
Opening liquify filter and try to increase or decrease the brush doesn't work at all. Seems the keystrokes in the liquify filter are different (and unknown?!) to increase & decrease the brush size but WHY?

Solution found:
Setting up the Wacom Intuos 5 and Photoshop CC 2014 to...
Brush decrease: #
Brush increase: NumPad *
Keyboard language: German
Works with normal brushes and in the Liquify filter.

Screen Resize issue

Hi All,
I am having issue with scroll bars for different screen resolutions. my application main screen 2 subscreens
Main screen - 98 has
SUBS_HEADER
SUBS_ITEMS
in Items subscreen i am loading tabstrip control(screen-121) and in 1st tab(subscreen ). i am calling another screen(132) which has ALV grid. if i avoid scrolls by setting minimum lines/columns for a subscreen in one resolution, these settings are not automatically adjusting for another resolution. So i am getting scrolls for other resolutions.
(I checked few SAP screens there they are using tablecontrols instead of ALV grids. table controls are adjusting to screen resolutions.) is there any way to avoid this problem.
Regards,
Praveen

Hi Praveen,

Why is Liquify Brush Size so Out of Proportion?

When I choose the Liquify option from the Filter menu, the Liquify tool opens and I have access to the custom set of Liquify tools. Unlike almost any other tool where you select a brush size, the Liquify tool requires you to modify the position of a slider rather than selecting the brush size dynamically by right-clicking.
The problem is that the brush size selector control goes from 0 to 15,000px diameter. In order to make effective use of a 15,000 pixel liquify push tool, you'd have to have a really large image. Perhaps there is a case where someone at some time used a 15,000 px diameter nudge brush in the Liquify tool, but in my nearly 20 years of using Photoshop, I have never come across the need for a brush that large.
Regardless, because the selector uses a linear scale, it is really difficult to select a small brush size (say less than 100px) without manually incrementing the slider.
I would really like to see Adobe standardize the tool size/preset selector so that it is always available via the context menu (or equivalent) and that an option exists to enable relative slider values or percentage slider values in incremental selectors like brush size. Percentages could be setup where 100% was the largest side of the current image and then brush sizes could be selected via percentage of your image (of course converting to pixels, but the scale would be percentage-based). Even an exponential scale that favored the smaller values would be helpful. Or perhaps, movable caps that would allow you to set your own Max and Min values....that would rock.
Are there are any plugins that solve this problem? Anybody have any advice on how I might be able to select more appropriately scaled brushes in the Liquify tool when I am working with images where a 15,000 pixel brush head is unreasonable.
Any input would be greatl appreciated.
Jase

R_Kelly, thanks for the reply.
The problem isn't that there aren't enough ways to change the size fo the cursor, it's the relative scale of the cursor. I have two 37" Dell Ultra monitors on my desktop and to use the Alt-Right click method of resizing the brush (even on a 7500 pixel wide document at 300 dpi), I have to drag from one side of my dual monitor setup across 60 inches (whatever the horizontal width of a 37" monitor x2) about 50 times to get the brush to a size that I can actually see the outline of it.
Then, once I can see the outline of the Nudge Tool (in the Liquify tools), if I drag about 3 pixels, the visible outline of the brush wildly jumps from full-screen to tiny. It's because the scale of the brush size selector is a mess. 95% of the sizes in the selector are bigger than the piece that I am working on. Does that make sense? Why would you be able to select a tool size bigger than your document? Furthermore why would you want 95% of the available tool sizes to be unusable? It doesn't make any sense at all.
Thanks for the short reminder on brush size manipulation in general. I was surprised to see it work in the Liquify tool--though it didn't solve the issue.
Best wishes,
Jase

Brush resize with [ ] deletes layer

Hello, ALL!
I have Photoshop CS4 x64 Extended installed on Windows XP x64 and there is a problem with resizing brushes with brackets []. Pressing these buttons leads to active layer deletion. Undo restores layer and resizing work ok for a while, but after some resizes or selection of another layer, the same error occures. I have 11.0.1 update installed. This error is actual for both x32 and x64 versions. Drag resize works fine.
Did someone face the same issue and have a solution?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards / Ilya.

If you are experiencing problems like that and you are in the laptop make sure to check the keyboard shortcuts and change them to some other key on your keyboard. This tutorial shows you how to:

Java script browser resize issue

i'm building a website in dreamweaver for a friend and he
wanted the browser to resize to a specific size once the user goes
to the site. the script i have now works fine, but then when i go
to another page, the browser bounces out and then resizes. is there
a script that would just keep the browser the same size without
having to bounce out? thanks.
and click on any of the left side nav links to see the
browser quickly bounce out and then resize. thanks.

How rude.
