Perspective Control with Elements 6 (Mac)

Since I changed to a Mac a few years back I have been using Photoshop Elements. What had been a very simple process in CS3 with Windows completely eludes me in Elements. In CS3 if I had a tall building with converging verticals I selected the image and dragged the two anchor points along the top together to do a simple correction. Press return and the job was done. Am I missing something blindingly obvious? Help please.

Barbara
Thank you for your suggestion which I found very helpful. I must admit however that it lacks the simplicity and speed of use of the Windows CS3 Crop/Perspective tool. In the process however I have discovered Elements features of which I was unaware and will be useful in the future. Once again many thanks to yourself and also Terri. Regards - Victor

Perspective control with crop tool?

This may have already been addressed somewhere in the archives but I've been away from this forum for quite some time, so forgive me if it's an old topic.
Anyway, I've recently been on location photographing a variety of architectural exteriors and interiors and would love having a perspective correction - heck, why not go for the gold and ask for a 'Free Transform' option! - as part of the crop tool. Granted, there is 'sorta' that in the lens correction tools, but not quite the same.

There have been a few posts asking for a better UI to control the perspective correction. Personally I favour the photoshop crop transform approach too.

How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)?

How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)? Also...what is the best method (less lag) for screen sharing?
I own a mac mini Quad Server 2.0 i7 and I use it for audio production. It's great but I need to travel with it. I was hoping some form of screen sharing could be useful using the macbook air to control the mac mini. Therefore, I'd be using the stronger processor of the mac mini but would still be using the keyboard and trackpad from the air.
My two problems:
1. I can't depend on wifi to make this happen. Wifi is not always available when travleing. What would be the best way to configure a LAN connection?
2. The less lag the better for screen sharing. Which apps are fastest?
Thanks in advance.

Both of your devices have WiFi built in. Here is Apple Support's solution:

I there, my question is quite simple, I would like to know if the "apple remote control" can be used with a mac mini and , if so, it can be used to control also the "logic pro" functions (e.g. record, start, stop etc). Thks a lot, Danilo

Can I control a remote Mac with Messages?

My OS: Mountain Lion
I need to control a remote Mac. The remote Mac has Internet with WildBlue Excede (satellite). I am on a cable modem. Both Macs are hard-wired to modems. I have had no luck establishing a connection with Apple Remote Desktop. I remember a day when I was able to control a remote Mac with both Macs running iChat, albeit fuzzy and somewhat slow. Now, we have Messages. Can it be done with Messages? Is there a better way?
Thanks

If both machines are signed into iCloud with the same account, you should be able to do remote screen sharing. This is a lot easier if you have an Airport Extreme or a Time Capsule that lets you put your iCloud credentials in there.
I think with message you'd be able to remote screen control but the remote user would have to accept your request.

Print Problems with Elements 9 for Mac

I cannot print borderless (randlos) on format 10 x 15 (or any other) on my Printer Canon PIXMA MP970. With Elements 8 for Windows there is no problem. I have tried any possible combinations of adjustements and have the lates printer driver installed.

10 x 15 cm is a standard European paper size but the choice ist not available in the paper size selection. The choices avaiIable seem to be only American. I have to define it as user defined (Benutzerdefiniert). I have contacted Canon but they have no solution for this problem. It seems that PSE 9 for Mac and Canon printer drivers don't like each other. A least the German versions. With PSE 8 for Windows everything works fine. There the standard European paper sizes and borderless printing can be selected with no problem. As mentioned in other topics rotating is although a problem. Lucky enough I have also a Windows system with PSE 8.

PC to Mac with Elements 12?

Hi, I would like to start organizing my photos with Elements 12 on my PC, but I am planning on switching to a Mac later this year. Will I be able to move my info over and will my Elements work on my Mac or will I need to re-purchase it?

Hi Glenn,
Please try installing a trial of PSE13 on Windows in order to restore PSE6 backup in it. Now this catalog can be backed up in PSE13 Windows and restored on PSE13 MAC.
Since PSE6 did not ship on MAC (it was a windows only release till PSE9), its backup cannot be read upon restore on MAC machines.
Thanks

How to take a picture with my mac bok pro???

Years ago I took pictures and selfies with my MacBook Pro. After spending a lot of time only using my phone to take pics I'm only trying now to take one simple pic of my dog on the other side of my computer screen tonight. Now I can't seem to find out how to do this. The i-Photo at the bottom of the screen only shows me old photos and asks for locations. No. I try to look for help on my Mac to no avail. THE REST OF MY MICROSOFT FRIENDLY FAMILY ARE AMUSED. The 'support' is horrible, I find out through YAHOO - not Apple or my computer - that I need to go through Photo Booth. I remember seeing that years ago. Why is there no photo booth icon at the bottom of my screen??? When did it change to i-Photo, and why aren't the two integrated?? Why do I have to find answers through yahoo? I managed to get photo booth up for a while on my mac book, but seriously, I can't be doing this all the time, now it's gone again and still I have no pic of my dog hating the back of my screen. And I can't find it again! The question is still: How do I take a photo with my mac book? Please DO NOT refer me to a link. NOT LOOKING FOR AN AUTOMATED ANSWER. Also, some additional feedback, Siri is really inferior compared to OK Google in providing directions, answering general questions (understanding voice questions and providing answers) and making voice command calls. I will not be buying an Apple watch for now. I need to see a lot of other improvements, even only how to ask questions about existing products and features and get snappy answers, before I invest in a new Apple product. Disappointed, I always rooted for Apple.

Feel all better now?
1. The Photo Booth.app is located in the Applications directory of Macintosh HD on Mac OS X systems. But some Microsoft Friendly Family conspirator might have changed the name of the internal storage device, removed the Photo Booth.app icon from the Dock, or possibly deleted the app.
2. Photo Booth.app never DID change to iPhoto.app, or Photos.app. It always was and still is Photo Booth.app.
3. iPhoto and Photos (introduced in Yosemite 10.10.3) are separate programs primarily designed for organizing and editing digital photos, and cannot take selfies.
Once you 'snap' an image with Photo Booth, the images are displayed in the 'film roll' that appears at the bottom of the Photo Booth application after you snap the first image. Clicking on an image in that film roll will select it. Control+clicking offers the option to export or delete the image. Once an image is selected with a single click, click the "upload" icon beneath the film roll to see the options available.
(Yosemite 10.10.2 version illustrated below. Screen transparency means that the background image colors bleed through the menus illustrated below.)
4. There is a fast way to find and start the application called Photo Booth.app.
Click on the Spotlight icon in the upper right corner of your computer screen to search your computer for Photo Booth.app. Yes, there is a space between the words Photo and Booth. Press the enter/return key to open the application which will also enable the user-facing camera and illuminate a green LED.
Click the red button to initiate a 3-step countdown and a simulated flash of the screen to provide more light.
5. Once Photo Booth.app is open and running, 'right click' (if the Secondary click feature of your mouse or trackpad has been enabled in , System Preferences) on the Photo Booth program icon in the bottom 'Dock' of your screen, and select Options, Keep In Dock. That will keep the Photo Booth icon in the bottom program dock for fast future use.

How Do You Populate A Spark List Control With An Array?

Hello, all,
Sorry to come accross so frustrated, but how in the name of God do you populate a Spark list control with the data in an array? You used to be able to do this with the mx:List control, but the guys developing Flex just had to make things more difficult than they need to be! I am more of a code purist and prefer doing things the way they have been done for decades, but apparently nothing can ever stay simple!
I simply want to populate a list control with an array and this shouldn't be rocket science! I found out that I must use a "collection" element, so I decided that an arrayCollection would be best. However, after searching Adobe's documentation about arrayCollections, I am lost in a black hole of data binding, extra lines of code just to add a new element, the need to sort it, etc...!
Here is my code:
var pendingArray:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
for ( var i:int = 0 ; i < queue.length ; i++ )
     var item:UserQueueItem = queue[i] as UserQueueItem ;
     if ( item.status == UserQueueItem.STATUS_PENDING )
     pendingArray.addItem({label:item.descriptor.displayName,descriptor:item.descriptor});
Here is the relevant MXML:
<s:VGroup>
     <s:List id="knockingList" width="110" height="100"/>
</s:VGroup>
I'm not getting any errors, but the list is not populating.
I have seen several examples where the arrayCollection is declared and populated in MXML:
        <mx:ArrayCollection id="myAC">
            
            <fx:Array id="myArray">
                <fx:Object label="MI" data="Lansing"/>
                <fx:Object label="MO" data="Jefferson City"/>
                <fx:Object label="MA" data="Boston"/>
                etc...
           </fx:Array>
        </mx:ArrayCollection>
That may be fine for an example, but I think this is a rare situation. Most of the time I would image that the arrayCollection would be created and populated on the fly in ActionScript! How can I do this?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice anyone can give!
Matt

In your post it seemed like you were trying to take care of many considerations at once: optimization, design, architecture. I would suggest you get something up and running and then worry about everything else.
If I use data binding, then I will probably have to declare the arrayCollection as a global variable and then I'll have to write 100 or so extra lines of code to addItem(), removeItem(), sort(), etc... It just seems like too much overhead.
I believe you may have some misconceptions about databinding in general. You won't have to make it a global variable and you certainly won't need an extra 100 lines of code. If you did this forum would be a very , very quiet place.
I don't want to use data binding because the original array is refreshed often and there is one function called by an event that re-declares the arrayCollection each time, populates it with the array, and then sets it as the list's dataprovider.
That is the beauty of the ArrayCollection, it can handle the updates to its source Array. I don't know if you need to redeclare the ArrayCollection, resetting the source to the new Array allows everyone involved to keep their references so you don't have to worry about any "spooky" stuff going on.

I am having trouble with my Mac Mini's ethernet connection. Defining a new network interface shows no ethernet adaptor. Reloading SL from DVD repaired. But SL update lost ethernet again. Will Lion Fix?

I am having trouble with my mac mini ethernet. It had been working for weeks after an update to SL 10.6.8.
Once it went out and i repaired it by defining a new connection from System Preferences ->Network->(left panel service, +).
But yesterday, after a power up. my ethernet was not working again. I tried this old trick to repair it, but the interface choices
listed for '+' a new service did not include Ethernet any more. And the Utilities->System Profiler->Ethernet Cards shows
no ethernet available.
As a last ditch effort i reloaded my original SL from DVD. (I think it was version 10.6.4 but i could be mistaken on the version).
The ethernet worked! But KeyNote wasn't going to work because apparently the version i purchased depends on 10.6.8.
So I upgraded again to SL 10.6.8 (Plus some other updates like AirPort which i don't use).
Now the Ethernet is not working again. I see the same symptoms as before with the Ethernet seeming not installed.
Is this a problem seen by others?
Would going to Lion fix the problem?
Could AirPort actually be the culprit and not SL?
If i stay with my original SL, would i need to repurchase a version of KeyNote for the older version of SL?

Have you reset the SMC?
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
While you're at it, resetting the PRAM won't hurt anything and 'might' help is SMC reset didn't work (PRAM does some port control):
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Something else you might try .... you don't say how you're updating to 10.6.8, however, if you're using Software Update, you might try downloading the 10.6.8 combo update, which contains all updates to 10.6. Sometimes, Software Update doesn't work quite right, and installing the combo update fixes that. Download the update from Apple's download site at http://support.apple.com/downloads/ , using Disk Utility repair permissions, apply the combo update, then repair permissions again.
