Photoshop 6 and the change in Color Dodge/Burn blend modes

Photoshop 6 introduced a few changes in blending modes. Here´s a tip on how to save those older PSD´s, and continue with the Color Dodge/Burn behaviour you are used to:
Courtesy of Mark Hamburg, verified and posted by Chad Baker:
To create a new Color Dodge/Burn layer that will work like the old ones used to, simply Option (Alt) click the New Layer icon and select Color Dodge/Burn as your mode, then check the box to fill your new layer with a neutral color (black for Color Dodge and Difference, white for Color Burn).
To fix an existing Color Dodge/Burn layer (from one of your 5.5 files for example) that has 100% layer opacity, simply bring up the fill dialog with that layer selected, then fill the layer in 'Behind' mode with black.
To fix an existing Color Dodge/Burn layer that has an opacity of other than 100% it's a little trickier, but not much. The process is the same as above, but you must perform a quick trick first. Select the layer, then go to Layer>Layer Style>Blending Options. What you need to do is change the Advanced blending opacity to whatever your General blending opacity is, then move the general opacity up to 100%. Now all you have to do is what you did before, fill the layer in 'Behind' mode with black.

If export an image from Lightroom 5 to Photoshop and make changes

after export an image from Lightroom 5 to Photoshop and make changes to this image and then save in Photoshop as a tiff it does not show up in the original folder in Lightroom after exiting Photoshop

Does this help?
Re: Photos from Lightroom 5 to Photoshop CC (2014) and back...

I just installed Photoshop and the menus are tiny, unusable

I just installed Photoshop and the program interface is tiny, I need a magnifying glass to see the menus. Windows 8. All my other apps installed fine. Why would Photoshop do this?
It's basically unusable.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for moving this topic...I couldn't find it in the Photoshop General Discussion though, so I'm replying here. I managed to find a workaround (not a solution). After finally finding another text adjustment setting*, and despite warnings from my computer, I was able to find a resolution combination that worked, and made Photoshop look normal. I looked at my other (almost identical) laptop where Photoshop IS working and used that resolution.
(Why couldn't a single support person from four companies, in hours of chats and calls, think of that?) After changing the resolution, things got huge, but a popup came up saying 250%, which altered me. I changed it to 125%, then all was good.
(* the "windows 8 display setting screens do not show this adjustment, you have to go to another control panel window to see the text adjustment....Windows 8 is so cryptic.),
Hopefully this will save some other ******* days of headache. Unfortunately I can't run at my new laptop's resolution but at least I can get back to work.
Default setting - 3200x1800 250% text size
New setting - 1600x900 125% text size
Maybe Adobe could fix this problem. All my other Adobe apps look fine at 3200x1800.
Thanks.

How can I disable the change of color when changing background in ios7?

how can I disable the change of color when changing background in ios7?

For txt messages you can change the option of whether previews are shown (Settings >> Messages >> Show Preview Toggle). Switching this "Off" will still show a notification of a missed txt message, but it will not show text from the message itself.
Unfortunately, similar functionality does not currently exist for phone calls; however, the new iOS release (scheduled for September, I think rumor has it) will revamp the way notifications are handled, and there maybe an elegant solution for you then.

Photoshop and the Windows 7 Taskbar Jump List

One great tool for Windows 7 users is the Taskbar. start up Photoshop and the icon will show up in the taskbar. Right-click on that icon and you can pin it to the taskbar for one-click launch. The best thing about this is the list (aka "Jump List") of the 10 most recent files you will see if you right-click on the taskbar icon. You can also edit this list to remove files that you have deleted or simply pin a file to the list. Click on a file anywhere in the list and it will open. But what if you would like to increase the number of recent files? You can,and here's how:
Right-click on a vacant spot in the taskbar. Click on Properties in the context menu. Then click on the Start Menu tab. Now follow the screenshot:
You can set that jump list number up to 60 items, but your screen resolution is the limiting factor. I can set it up to 25,much better than 10 and it is for all icons in the taskbar. It's a quick way to open a file without opening Bridge or going to the File > Open Recent files list in PS.
This tip doesn't make the rounds too often and it's worth a repeat. I can only vouch for Windows 7, let us know if it works in Vista or XP.

Good plan. You'll like my Configure the Windows 8 "To Work" Options book too if you go that route. No, Windows 8 does not offer compelling reasons to move up. In fact a lot of stuff is just deleted that had value. Virtually no one can figure out what Microsoft's "strategy" is with this - I've come to conclude they don't really have a concerted strategy, and they're just trying to cover it up with Marketing BS.
About the only things I've seen going for Windows 8 are:
It's oriented toward tablets, so there will be some new tablet offerings coming out that will run a flavor of it.
It's pared down to such an extreme that it runs noticeably leaner and faster on a desktop system.
There's a cheap upgrade available ($39.99 if you have any older version of Windows).
Obvious negatives:
Completely revamped Start screen with the desktop being put off to the side. Desktop apps considered "legacy" now.
No start button, but non-obvious "hot corners" you have to just know about.
Little attempt to make it possible to use just the mouse and click on stuff, as has been the tradition.
No visual styles on the desktop at all, making it look plain and flat, and making it difficult to use multiple applications at once.
Microsoft wanting you to walk through their online App Store at every turn.
There's a web page describing all the useful stuff they've removed... It's no wonder the upgrade is going to be cheap:

Hi Baem_leeds
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you change your Apple ID you will need to sign in with the new information or password the next time you use an Apple service or feature that uses Apple ID. If you have multiple devices that use features and services that require an Apple ID, you will need to sign in again on each device.
The links below will provide additional information:

Change background color in enter-query mode

Hi everyone,
I am trying to Change background color in enter-query mode in forms10g. I am using this
Set_Item_property('org.branch_code', BACKGROUND_COLOR, 'Green' );
Thanks

This is the code that allows to colorise items in enter_query mode, then de-colorize them after execute_query.
Assume that you have created a VA_QUERY visual atribute in your module.
-- Colorise in enter-query mode --
PROCEDURE Start_query IS
LC$Block      Varchar2(30) := Name_in('system.trigger_block') ;
LC$item       varchar2(60);
LC$itemdeb    varchar2(60);
LN$len        pls_integer ;
BEGIN
lc$itemdeb := get_block_property(LC$BLOCK, FIRST_ITEM) ;
lc$item := LC$BLOCK || '.' || lc$itemdeb ;
while lc$itemdeb is not null Loop
    IF GET_ITEM_PROPERTY(LC$Item , ITEM_TYPE) NOT IN ('BUTTON','RADIO GROUP','DISPLAY ITEM') Then
      IF GET_ITEM_PROPERTY(LC$Item , QUERYABLE ) = 'TRUE' Then
        set_item_property(LC$item, CURRENT_RECORD_ATTRIBUTE, 'VA_QUERY');
      End if ;
    End if ;
    lc$itemdeb := get_item_property( lc$item, NEXT_NAVIGATION_ITEM );
    lc$item := LC$BLOCK || '.' || lc$itemdeb ;
end loop ;
END;
-- Unclororize after execute_query --
PROCEDURE End_query IS
LC$Block     Varchar2(30) := Name_in('system.trigger_block') ;
LC$item     varchar2(60);
LC$itemdeb     varchar2(60);
LN$len          pls_integer ;
LN$Multi pls_integer ;
BEGIN
lc$itemdeb := get_block_property(LC$BLOCK, FIRST_ITEM) ;

         If LN$Multi > 1 Then
            set_item_property(LC$item, CURRENT_RECORD_ATTRIBUTE, 'VA_CURRENT_RECORD');
         Else
            set_item_property(LC$item, CURRENT_RECORD_ATTRIBUTE, '');
         End if ;

Why does it say in the Firefox Safe Mode article that all of the changes are temporary while in Safe Mode, then later it says "Note: The following changes cannot be undone."?

Why does it say in the Firefox Safe Mode article that all of the changes are temporary while in Safe Mode, then later it says "Note: The following changes cannot be undone."?

When you open Firefox in Safe Mode, it automatically disables your custom settings, themes, and add-ons. THOSE changes are temporary.
However, if you click any of the boxes underneath the line, "You can make some or all of these changes permanent", and then choose "Make Changes and Restart", everything you checked will be forever changed, even when you start Firefox again in 'normal' mode. [See attached image for a preview of the Safe Mode options].
To be clear:
1. If you check any of the boxes but do NOT select "Make changes and restart", those things will not be changed at all in safe mode.
2. If you select any of the boxes and you DO select "Make changes and restart", you will permanently lose any of the items you checked (bookmarks (except for backups), user preferences, etc.).
If you performed the action in step 2 above, you will only be able to restore those things if you have a previously created back-up of your Mozilla Profiles folder (not the same as the Firefox program folder).
Hope this helps.

Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved. Make sure the box marked
          Remember networks this computer has joined
is checked.
2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading
          Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
3. Reset the PRAM.
4. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
5. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
6. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
7. Repair permissions on the startup volume.
8. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
9. Reset the System Management Controller.
10. This step shouldn't be necessary, but has been advised by Apple Support in some cases, apparently as a workaround for a bug. Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences. If applicable, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner to unlock the settings. Enter your administrator login password when prompted.
Select the Power Adapter tab and uncheck the boxes marked
          Wake for Wi-Fi network access
and
          Enable Power Nap...
if present. Then, if the computer is a MacBook, select the Battery tab and uncheck
          Enable Power Nap...
11. Reinstall OS X.

Photoshop Help Video - Can't Locate Katrin Eismann Blending Modes Video

I bookmarked a Katrin Eismann video on blending modes on May 7, 2010. I am trying to locate that video now, so far without success.
Here's the former link: http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/?id=vid0012
As I recall, she showed a great example of how to isolate just a portion of a night time scene. As best I recall, the trees were colorful while everything else was black and white.
I have been hunting for a while without success. I believe it used to be associated with the help file. In fact it still is. If you search on Adobe's help for "blending modes" your first link is likely:
Photoshop Help | Blending modes
And as you work your way though the discussion, you find this:
These examples show the result of painting part of the image’s face using each blending mode.
For a video on blending modes, see www.adobe.com/go/vid0012.
Does anyone know how I can locate this video?

This same non-existent link is still listed on various Adobe web pages, but alas, the page with the video no longer exists. This is obviously an error on the part of the (huge) Adobe website.
The best thing to do is to submit a bug report, and hope they fix it:

When I select a menu item, the highlight is light blue and the item font color goes white. It is very difficult to read? Any solution?

When I select Bookmarks, the menu item (Bookmarks) is highlighted in light gray color; and the letters of the work itself (Bookmarks) turns white. This same thing happens when you go into individual bookmark selections. It is very difficult to read. Are there any alternatives that can be set by the user?

Are you using a standard Windows theme?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
