When using 'Fix Red-Eye' or 'Retouch' the circle tool isn't showing

When using 'Fix Red-Eye' or 'Retouch' in iPhoto 11 (v9.4.3), the circle tool isn't showing any longer. Only the normal arrow cursor. It still works fine, I just can't see the size of the circle against the photo.
I've tried restarting iPhoto and the whole Mac, but no luck.
Any ideas? Thanks!

In Aperture 3 creating a book using Formal theme and in Edit Layout I can move but not resize the image box even though handles appear and the manual says I should be able to. Help image boxt

Can I resize image boxes with the displayed handles as the User Manual suggests I can, when creating a book in Aperture 3 using the Formal Theme (with the beveled mask) and in Edit Layout mode? I can move the box with the yellow guidelines, but those handles will not move to allow me to adjust size. If I delete the box and add a photobox, I can resize, but I loose those nice beveled masks!

Well I tried on my wife's MB and it worked fine, but keeps the same aspect ratio. Nearly there. I tried the local Apple outlet, but they had just taken Aperture off the demo machine .
However, I have discovered that I can use the "right click" option for 'photo aspect ratio' and it will resize the box to accomodate my pictures. By fiddling I can select an alternative ratio and/or picture and change the size of the frame up or down and try to get an appropriate size and ratio, e.g. if I have a small landscape picture, I can pop in a bigger square picture (it gets cropped) then choose a portrait mode (cropped differently) then pop in my landscape picture (still cropped, but bigger size), then use the option 'photo aspect ratio', I get it uncropped and bigger. Not a really satisfactory work around, but better than nothing.
By combining they fiddling with aspect ratios and the pinch/squeeze routine - on the MB (or via Lion and a track pad I assume) - I should get there.
Pity those pesky handles don't work!!
Thanks folks for the help

OfficeJet Pro L7680 not printing the colour red: it comes out as brown

Running Windows XP. OfficeJet Pro L7680. Using HP inks + quality paper.
Model number CB038a
The colour red is printed as a distinct brown. All other colours/shades/tints/alignments etc are absolutely fine.
Have done the obvious: changed cartridges for brand new ones.
Cleaned printheads
Dignostic page: suggests all ok (good printhead health)
The actual quality of print is good in all respects on the test patterns other than the colour red is printed as brown.
Help gratefully received.
I've always used HP printers and this is a new one on me!

Hi wafflycat, if you reckon it's a cartridge issue then best bet is to contact HP phone support for a replacement....

How do you get the auto red eye to work in iphoto when it won't click?

When we are trying to correct the red eye problems from photos taken from my dads Sony point and shoot camera iphoto's automatic red eye option isn't enabled. We tryed to fix this by upgrading to the latest version of iphoto but the problem persists- the autocorrect for the red eye won't click. We are feeling ripped off because it should work. Right?

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does try the following: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If the red eye correction works OK in the new library do the following on your original library: make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Note: the following is for iPhoto 9.4
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How do I retrieve the tone panel in Lightroom 5 (with the sliders for exposure, contrast, vibrancy etc which sits under the crop, red eye etc icons)

How do I retrieve the tone panel in Lightroom 5 ( with the sliders for exposure, contrast, vibrancy etc which sits under the icons for cropping, red eye etc)?

On a PC, right-click (Mac Cmd-click) on one of the other panel headings such as Tone Curve, Detail, etc. In the context menu that displays, make sure there is a checkmark in Basic. Another quick way to do it is Ctrl->1 or Cmd->1.

Why Can I not Resize the Scrollbar on my Table Control?

As below KB
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/82C0B021A14F118D86257141004BA97E
why this property node doesn't support mobile module and touch panel module, if so, how can I do? Thank you!

This is suprising... I don't have a perfect solution fro you, but I suggest you take a look at the example here, the problem was slightly different to yours but I think you could use a similar solution.
You can hide the vertical scrollbar of your table control and place next to it a vertical slider and use the slider's value to set the index row that's visible at the top of the table.
Quick example attached.
Hope it helps

Lightroom 5 not rendering the color red correctly

Out of the blue, LR5 has decided to render red as a dark orange - similar to the orange in the SF Giants team colors. But red in the LR5 import previews is correct. It's also correct in a different editor, Faststone Image Viewer and Irfan View.
It's orange when opened in Camera RAW 8.1 from PS Elements 10. So the culprit would seem to be Camera Raw 8.1.
A picture is worth a thousand words:

Couldn't you reach 120 Luminance in Eye One Match in advanced mode using the display's Brightness control? Are you using on the 'Custom' display preset mode and adjusting the RGB controls in Eye One Match for 6500K? Try downloading the latest Eye One Match v3.6.2 software, uninstall what you have now and reinstall with the new download v3.6.2. Something's wrong with the calibration process.
Please provide your display control settings, including Brightness, Contrast, RGB Color, and any other display control settings. Here's what TFT Central used:
Calibrated Settings
(Custom mode)
luminance (cd/m2)
121
Black Point (cd/m2)
0.18
Contrast Ratio
672:1
Firstly I calibrated the screen using LaCie's software suite while also changing the monitor to the 'Custom' preset mode, affording me access to the RGB colour controls. During the calibration process the screens brightness was adjusted to 20%, with contrast being left at 50%. RGB values were altered to 92, 90 and 98 respectively. It should be noted that OSD adjustments only form part of the calibration process with the majority of changes being made automatically at the graphics card LUT level.
After calibration, the results of the test and report were far more pleasing! Luminance was corrected nicely to 121 cd/m2, with black depth being improved also to 0.18 cd/m2. This gave us a static contrast ratio of 672:1 which was adequate. The gamma was now corrected to 2.2, and colour temperature was also now recorded at 6477k (<1% out). Most impressively the colour accuracy was improved drastically, with dE average being only 0.5, and maximum being only 1.0. LaCie would consider colour accuracy to be excellent here, and this was certainly a very pleasing improvement to the default factory settings.

CS6 - The [ and ] keys stop resizing the brush

I very recently installed CS6. I have used Photoshop for years (CS5, CS3, CS, ...).
Now under CS6 I find that periodically the [ and ] keys will not resize the brush. I have to restart Photoshop to get them to work again.
Anyone else seen this? Is it a bug or is there something I can do to fix it?
Thanks,
Selby

Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

Calendar app is not viewable. The window will not resize. Can only see header of the app. Have restarted app and computer.

This is all I can see. it will not resize the window, full screen mode shows only this as well.

It really seems like a group policy issue, something like network security, and have you tried to re-map the drives, test the restult again.
you should post you question in this forum

I can not get FF 8 to resize the foreground window when I press ctrl + to zoom in, Is there a fix?

I am stuck with FF 3.6 because FF 8 does not resize the java script window properly when zooming in on a web page. See http://www.titantv.com/ for an example web page.
Is there a fix?
I have tried disabling all add ons viewing with original default settings. Nothing seems to work. So I am stuck using FF 3.6 which is the last version of FF that works with Java.

That would make things worse for you.

Why can I not find the Rubber Stamp icon in Fireworks 8

Using Fireworks 8:
ok - fairly new to all this - but I am trying to clone pixels and am looking for the rubber stamp icon. My "Bitmap" menu has marquee, lasso, magic wand, brush, pencil, eraser, burn & red eye icons on it, and under "Assets" (under Image Editing tab) in the other toolbar I have red eye, crop, scale, blur, sharpen, dodge and burn icons. No rubber stamp icon to be found. I am trying to edit a .jpg file (photo). I have read that it only works on bitmap files so I have saved it as a .bmp but still no luck finding the rubber stamp icon. Where am I going wrong please?!
Many thanks

Panic not... it has only taken me all afternoon but there must have been a error as I have just reloaded the app and holding the mouse button down now produces a menu of options on the bitmap menu, so the user can toggles from one to the other.

Retouch and red eye tricks work on iMac but not on Notebooks. Why?

I am thrilled to have access to the "hidden" red eye and retouch tools. (Control + Caps Lock + "9"; Followed by Tab)
However, I have noticed they only work on the standard Apple Keyboard, but not on the notebook (MacBook or MacBook Pro) keyboards. (An Apple Keyboard plugged into USB on a notebook will work.) Is there a way to achieve the same results for red eye and retouch using a notebook keyboard?

LiveWire293:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I hadn't tried that on my new MacBook Pro till you brought it up. I can't get it to work either. Tried all sorts of permuatations with the function key. I don't know enough about the key mapping to determine how the keys on the laptop differ to those on the regular keyboard. I'm sure someone will figure it out eventually. Thanks for the heads up.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

JFrame change : now components are not resized

I recompiled a Swing app that I wrote a few years back and noticed that resizing the window does not resize the components within it.
To see what I mean, compile and run BorderLayoutDemo.java with 1.6, and then with 1.4 (I don't know about 1.5). The buttons will resize in the version compiled and run with 1.4 but will not with 1.6.
Does anyone know of a readme or tutorial which details what mods I have to make to my code to effect the "old" functionality of having the Components of a JFrame resize using the default ContentPane and LayoutManager ?

Both work OK for me, 1.4 and 1.6, on winxp

I get Black Eye instead of removing the RED EYE.

The old "red eye" system was sooo simple & easy to use. I am probably doing something stupid. On auto it seems to do nothing. Manual makes the eyes black, bad enough BUT if the spot is to big I get a big black eye. It seems the system is designed to cover up the red with black instead of removing the RED. Can this be true. I hope not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Warren:
No, you're not doing anything wrong. There are types of redeye that iPhoto just doesn't handle well at all. When there's a lot of yellow or orange in the color it just doesn't work as intended. The manual way also just puts a black disk over the eye.
Try using the redeye tool in manual and then apply the Retouch tool, sized to the black circle, to the the black area with one click. That can soften the effect a bit.
