Photoshop Canvas improvement idea

Hi guys,
not sure if i'm posting this in the right area as it's more of a feature request. I just wanted to see what other pro users thought of it.
many a time i am trying to make a mish-mash to get some ideas flowing quickly. ok, I have a 120 x 400 document (banner or something)....and i am trying to play with some fonts or some pasted image that has to fit the height only. so if i scale the image/font up, it stretches far out to the right of the doc (about 50% or more for example) and is cut off.
now, to make the doc the right size for the *idea*, i have to resize the canvas with a little guess work to obtain the best fit and then fix the background, etc. if I change my mind...I have to do it all again, etc, etc
wouldn't it be nice, if while we're scaling like this (ctrl+T), (or even ctrl+click an item in the layers palette to select it) to have a "Resize Canvas to selected" ???
illustrator cs4 *sort* of has it (ability to change size visualy) with the artboards (its a great feature)....but this right-click feature added to both photoshop and illustrator would make them so much faster to work with. especially when you want the canvas to match exactly or trying ideas on the fly
just my 2 cents.

crop is in no way the same thing as "resize canvas" as Peter was originally suggesting. resizing the canvas is non-destructive to the psd contents and its layers in contrast to "cropping" which removes everything outside of the document bounds (in photoshop, since we are on the ADOBE forums!!!...hint hint Jed).
Peter didn't say ANYTHING about wanting a non-destructive way of doing it. In fact, he didn't really say much at all about the other content on the page – just the text overflowing the document.
If that's the case, he can:
Create a new document.
Paste the text into the new document.
Image >> Crop.
Drag+drop the other layers from the original document into the new one.
Then the layer information will be in tact, at least. I guess he'd still have to line up the content though. That might be a problem, depending on what he's doing. It might work for his particular scenario though.
In Corel PHOTO-PAINT...
Just kidding...
Cropping destroys other layer information in PP as well, no matter what method is used.
I'm just trying to help a brother out guys, sheesh! Trying to come up with solutions for him here. Why do you get so offended at at the sheer mention of Corel PHOTO-PAINT? Even if it's intended to provide feature request ideas for Adobe?

  • PHOTOSHOP Canvas Issues!

    Hi there!
    My photoshop canvas is showing at 100% but the images is really small, when I zoo into 200% it's the correct site but it is really blurry. I have been told that this is how you need to work for a macbook pro, but surely that is not true I can not work on a burly pixelated picture.
    SOMEONE HELP!!!

    A retina screen is one where the resolution is double that of a normal screen. 227 ppi vs 114 ppi normal. A real problem when building websites for normal screens.
    851pixels/227 ppi = 3.74 inches at 100% which would be 7 inches on my normal screen at 100%  You have a retina screen.
    Mac specs:
    Retina display: 13.3-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit display with IPS technology; 2560-by-1600 resolution at 227 pixels per inch with support for millions of colors
    Native resolution: 2560 by 1600 pixels (Retina); scaled resolutions: 1680 by 1050, 1440 by 900, and 1024 by 640 pixels
    If you are a web designer, this article explains it beautifully and tells you what you need to do.

  • Z10 Product Improvement Ideas: Peak, Flow and Navigation

    Note sure what the best way to get some ideas across to Blackberry but since I've been using my Z10, there are a few ways that I think that navigation and application access can be improved. Sometimes I feel that you need to perform one too many swipes to get to something, often used features are hidden, navigation techniques are inconsistent (i.e. Accessing the hub, calendar and phone) or you have to make one more button press than necessary.
    I've been a BB fan for years and have had many models. Want to see Blackberry succeed. Own stock. Got the Z10 first day. Got 4 coworkers to get the Z10. Big promoter.
    Here are my suggestions and maybe with enough support, we can get a few adjustments made that improve the overall user experience and make us way more efficient. I also think that Blackberry can retain its innovation in peek and flow while still giving us alternative access that we are used across different devices such as our Ipads, playbooks, Desktops, etc. A couple items will be repeated depending on the suggestion type.  
    1. Calendar needs to be a core feature and should always be open and accessible instantly at a click or a swipe. Access to the calendar is not easy as I think it should be. Four ways that Calendar could be more accessible:
    a) Have a calendar button next to phone, search and camera buttons
    b) Support a swipe action of some sort (perhaps upwards and to the left (opposite of the hub))
    c) Add calendar button to the mini-swipe/scroller menu that is available in the active apps or application screen
    d) It should be clickable and launchable on the hub either on the bottom menu or as a hub filter item. Having upcoming events appear by scrolling to the top of my hub items is convenient but not what I am talking about.
    e) Directly from the lock screen. I should be able to click and hold on the calendar event to launch my calendar.
    2. Phone calling is a core feature and needs to be launchable from the hub, the mini-swipe/scroller bar, the applications pages (as an icon) and also from the lock screen similar to the calendar (ie hold the button down). In the hub you can filter on missed/all calls but it only acts to give you a call log and not any other phone feature. Launching through the hub should provide full features.
    3. Phone and Hub should both be accessible from the applications pages as an application icon. This allows me to access hub and phone in a similar manner to my other applications and also reduces the learning curve for those used to the iphone (easier adoption). I can create logical visual organization of my applications and I can essentially put the calendar, phone and hub next to each other. I really like consistent access and behaviour and this would help.
    4.  Hub should be available in the active applications like everything else is. It is the only feature that isn't.
    5. I dislike the fact that the Hub filter opens and closes after I make a selection. I would like to be able to click on the BBM icon and see my BBM messages, then quickly click on my Texts, then my mails. I think the filters should always stay open in the mini mode unless I shrink it. i.e. Click to open filter mode with icons only, drag again to stretch and see the icons with names (I think most of us know what the icons represent anyway) and click or swipe to close the filters menu. With the menu always open, I can view all content types by themselves very quickly.
    6. Hiding the delete button  in the extended menu is not efficient. If I'm looking at a photo, reading and email, reading a text just let me delete immediately. It is an action that I do enough that it should be as available as the back, forward, reply to all buttons. Save me the additional clicks.
    7. When I launch the phone, I want the number keypad open. I don't want to launch the phone and then have to click again to get to the phone pad. The speed dial screen should not be shared with the missed calls. There should be a new screen with a dedicated button.
    8. I've found that once you set up your speed dial or world clocks, you can't edit the order. This means you are stuck with the order that you added the items and have to start from scratch if you want to re-order. This is frustrating. I don't have the ability to think about order that early. Anyone notice that when you add a phone number to speed dial, it might use a different contact than you selected if that other contact has the same number?
    8. We should be able to shortcut phone numbers to the application pages the same way we can shortcut web pages. This gives me the ability to create folders, organize phone numbers and make calls quickly. Again, learning curve for iphone converts and consistency.  
    9. Alarm needs to be accessible easier. It can be an application icon accessible in the applications menu. Clicking on the alarm clock icon on the top should open the alarm clock, similarly, clicking on the wifi should open wifi menu, battery should give me percentage, and maybe a quick Bluetooth on and off. Potentially support a notifications quick menu too.
    10. We should be able to put the phone to sleep with a long swipe from the top. I don't get why you need to get to sleep mode by first locking with the top button, getting to the lock mode and then swiping down the curtain. Is there a way to do this that I'm missing?
    11. When searching in the hub, I have to clear the search to get back to an unfiltered view. Why not a quick swipe to the right? Why when I'm searching in the hub does the bottom menu disappear? I should be able to interact with those items the same way without opening the items.
    12. On the lock screen, I want quicker access to different things through three swipe actions. A swipe up opens my applications page, a swipe left opens the hub, a swipe right opens my applications page. I need to be able to open the calendar from the lock page (long press on the calendar event) and I need to be able to launch the phone (add an icon for the phone (like the camera)). Long press of the voicemail, notifications, emails, bbm or texts opens those screens.
    13. Why iis there no email or missed calls preview from the lock screen like the good old days of the torch. I want to know if I should even need to unlock the phone for the new events (is this a security issue?).
    14. The mini-swipe/scroller bar should appear in the hub, active applications and application pages (currently it is only on the latter two). It is a cool features. As per above, it should include calendar and phone.
    15. Active applications should allow pinning and re-ordering. i.e. I lock an open application in place and then I can re-order through drag and drop. Pinning isn't my idea but I like it a lot.
    16. Cool idea. If we allow users to save the layout of an active applications page, they can essentially launch 8 applications in one go in the future. i.e. You save a layout with a name and then you close the entire layout and reactivate it when you want through a list. Very powerful.
    That's it for now. Would be super happy to see these adopted and interested in seeing who else has ideas, likes these ideas and hopefully with enough support maybe BB will look at these seriously. Hope they look at them.

    Hi Meredith,
    Thought we had everything solved, however the failure to merge to HDR is solved. But the fix causes many problems. Now you can get to the final HDR picture however making small modifications will slow the computer to a crawl. The hourglass blinked for 5 minutes just to make a small highlight change.
    What were the preferences restored by deleting the preference file and having Photoshop reload the defaults. These are the ones I am sure about.
    my settings                           default
    memory usage was 80-85%   now 49%  (834 -838 mb)
    animated zoom was off            now on
    save in background off             now on
    graphic processor on basic      now off
    cursors others precise            now standard
    transparency grid size small    now medium
    By turning up memory to 50% or higher increase (1% or more) the merge to HDR screen opens as a black picture. Progress bar disappears and reappears as loading but Merge to HDR finishes with exception of black picture to start with. Click on 32 bit and.the picture appears. Local Adaption doesn't work !
    Turned ON graphics card on NORMAL ,..memory back to 49% .  Merge to HDR works and local adaption works. Appears not to be slow (graphics card helping now) Process bar turns on and off during Merging to HDR
    Resetting all my preferences except memory (at 49%  838 MB) Merge to HDR works with the exception of a progress bar that disappears and reappears.
    In conclusion with Windows XP 32bit and 4g installed (windows seeing 3g):
    Memory over 49%+ GPU on =fail and progress bars turns on and off
    Memory 49% + GPU off= black window and Local Adaption fails
    Memory 49% + GPU on = Everything works but process bar turns on and off
    GPU On= process bar failure
    GPU off= process bar works but slow
    Memory over 49%=Merge to HDR failure
    Interesting note is that at a 40% memory setting Merge to HDR failed too
    Thanks,
    Meredith

  • CS3 Photoshop - Canvas resize anchor grid not selectable anymore. What happened?

    Hi,
    I have Version 10.0.1 and up to two days ago I could select resize canvas, change the pixels, select the appropriate anchor and all went well. Now, for some reason I can no longer select an anchor point. Absolutely nothing happens if I click on one of the arrows.
    I have checked Image mode and it is RGB 8bit. I have gone through all of the settings I can think of and no luck.
    I cannot remember making any change that would affect this function but apparently I did. I doubt the program just decided to quit. My OS is XP Pro but that hasn't changed. Nothing has that I can think of
    Does anyone have any idea what I need to do to get this to function again?

    Reset your preferences
    Hold down CTRL + SHIFT + ALT keys then start photoshop. Window pops up choose yes.

  • IBook G4 1.2Ghz - Improvement Ideas

    Hi
    Am am re building an iBook G4.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how I can improve the unit within it's perameters?
    eg. Software, Hardware, OS
    Richard

    There were two iBook G4 1.2GHz models, the first was an Early 2004 with a 14" display, model A1054; the second one was a Late 2004 with 12" display, model A1055. These have slightly different specs in hardware, and shipped with different original OS X versions, with a similar number version Apple Hardware Test on their otherwise different numbered install-restore disc sets. (Each model number has three Order numbers, for configuration variables shipped with feature set differences.)
    Built-in Memory
    256 MB
    Maximum Memory
    1.25 GB
    Memory Slots
    1 - PC-2100 DDR266 200-pin SO-DIMM (PC-2700 supported; however it will run at only 266 MHz)
    RAM specs & other specs - see http://mactracker.ca - free download
    Some parts including replacement optical drive, may be found at mac
    sites such as OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/search/iBook+G4
    The repair guides at http://ifixit.com can be helpful when you are careful.
    With either similar version of 1.2GHz iBook G4, the highest OS X is Leopard 10.5(.8) from retail DVD, with the last .8 step update parts available as downloads via the system's Software Update, or from links at Apple Support online.
    Obtaining a last-supported version of Adobe Flash player/plugin (vintage, same as listed for 10.4 Tiger) is available from an archive page linked at bottom of page at Adobe through http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    Browsers, third party; as the Apple Safari has not been updated for older vintage systems. Names such as iCab (works freely in demo, works better with $20. license) TenFourFox v. 24, SeaMonkey-PPC, are somewhat current and the latter share a mozilla-derived code that has been reworked to run on powerPC. Older unsupported (no security update, etc) browsers for OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.8 can be still found as downloads; some sites are suspect, even if an OK vintage, lack security and are not recommended.
    If you can obtain the correct matching version of iLife (retail disc) for use in Leopard 10.5.8, that is where iPhoto, iDVD, iMovie, Garageband, iWeb, can be found. There were a few, so this is a matter of research to get the correct version. Once these are installed each will have a few updates available through Software Update in the system. The newer parts should still download from an apple server. Not sure if there are any standalone update parts. There are no full legitmate applications such as these for vintage OS X online.
    Other software such as AppleWorks 6.2.9 when available can be handy, as this suite has a set of applications or functions within it that can still be used adequately today. A word processor, a spreadsheet, draw, paint, presentation, etc. A later application, iWork (pages, etc) may be available as used for 10.5.8 system.
    'Missing Manuals' and other useful Mac guides such as they were, for Mac Leopard OS X 10.5 can sometimes be found inexpensively in used book stores or charity thrift stores. I have a few bought at a small fraction of their original retail.  Even a nice copy of Missing Manual for iWork '09. for 10¢ These kinds of books are out there for various iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, Garageband, etc. so look for the correct software and then get the manual. If the manual are mere pennies (compared to $30 retail) it is easy to gather them ahead of any real need. They can be re-donated to a charity thrift, you only lose a little if you don't need them. Or be on  the look out for good G4 tower and be sure it has the original install-restore discs, since those are rare. If you can be technical and repair hardware issues, an iMac G4 1.25GHz 17" or 20" can be curious, if working. Then, for relative inexpensive cost, pre-repaired earlier core2duo MacBooks can be a fairly good experience. I've seen them with a backup system on disc, power supply, battery, & limited warranty... Under $350.
    Anyway, if you want to look up information, the everymac.com site has a fair bit with several ways to locate stuff. Also, mactracker.ca has a free downloadable database of most things Apple. Has specs, update, upgrade info, across a wide span of time and product. You could do an 'identify by serial number' lookup online to see what your old iBook may have had. The results vary, but once you narrow down a model that way, then mactracker and everymac help define a build model year series example more clearly.
    Not sure if you could get a replacement 10.5 Leopard install disc from AppleCare or sales support, that would be a call to the main phone bank, and not a retail store. There is a fee for these, as available, and not all people who answer the phone appear to know they exist. The label is white, and it would work to install a 10.5 system in a select group of computers, and some people have been able to get them in the past year. Since I still have the original retail 10.4 Tiger, in box, and 10.5 Leopard (drop-in upgrade) and also retail inbox version. Somewhere I have the Panther retail disc set in box and may have given away the Jaguar 10.2 disc. Puma? Not sure. I had over 250 computers and most software from Mac OS 6.0 through 10.5.8 over a period of 8 or 9 years. A hands-on learning experience; repaired, restored, upgraded, then donated nearly all. Sold two. Gave a few to people I know who couldn't afford a nice Mac. And gave support free to those who needed it.
    But I don't do that, to the level I had in the past. I no longer have a room with 70 to 80 Macs, repaired with no where to go. Took awhile, but did give away more than 200 in working order with accessories. I still have a few rescued Macs, and a few that need work that I don't feel like it.
    My only 'new' iMac, for example, the most costly computer I ever owned, failed because the authorized apple Anchorage reseller service could not fix it. They defacto are the reason it died. Three logic boards, RAM, and a power supply, etc later, it sits in a coma. I do have two spares, for parts. No ambition, to mess with that now, after much unnecessary grief, miles driven, & while under Applecare! But won't toss it either.
    So, anyway, have fun and be sure to get a backup computer so you can use any accumulations of stuff, when or if that iBook needs a pal or needs a donor. Some parts etc are available for older portables, see specialist wegenermedia in SC, they also fix stuff we common folk only get headaches from.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Would Photoshop help improve the look of my video? [was: New to this]

    Not sure if I already posted this but would photoshop help imporve the look of my video?
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n94-fqYPHWc

    I agree with Mylenium. Premiere Elements would be a better program for the post-production.
    As for shooting, I would use a background, as those wall plates/outlets really draw the eye. A nice piece of dark grey, non-glossy fabric, like perhaps a velvet, could be taped over the wall, behind your subject. If possible, move the subject a bit farther from any background.
    Do not be afraid of composing the subject more tightly, so that one sees more of them, and less background. Even with a "talking head" shot, you can get much tighter with the framing.
    I would also go for a bit more controlled lighting on your subject. Even placing a white card, or sheet to one side, just to fill in the face, would be better. Just keep it out of the coverage of the camera. A piece of foamcore, or Gator-foam, would work well. Angle it to fill that side of the subject's face.
    The audio was recorded in a fairly "hard," or "live" environment. If the mic is camera-mounted, think about hanging some soft fabric, in a V, behind the camera and operator. The camera would be in the apex of the V. A few quilts would work fine. That should help remove the slight echo of the room, and "soften" the sound a bit.
    Good luck, and hope those ideas help.

  • Photoshop CS6 Feature (idea!)

    Hey guys, I wanted to suggest a feature into photoshop that I think people would love. Especially typographers haha.
    There are times where I want to implement a specific character into my designs (ex: the R in the "Plak" font family) but it takes ages to find. I would love to see a little option in the character menu (or in another new window) that would allow you to type the letter/letters you're looking for then show what each font would give you.
    For example!
    If I wanted to use the letter R that had modern typeface look but I wouldnt know which font family it belonged to.
    I would type "R" into the search bar and all "R"s in your font families/typefaces would appear with the font family derived from it listed below.
    This would be a great way of searching for that one/two/(any #) letter that we search for to use in our work. Even the best Typographers who know their fonts would love to see this!

    Hi Cscryan,
    Thanks for the idea submission! As this is technically the forum specifically for Photoshop CS6 Beta, my concern is that this might get lost in the wash. Would you mind resubmitting the idea on our formal feedback website:

    Thanks!

  • Photoshop canvas turns black

    When I work on a job in Photoshop Cs6, the canvas turns totally black until I click outside the work area. Anyone having same problem?

  • Photoshop canvas screen

    Hello:
    Have a question regarding the canvas size of my Photoshop.  I don't know what I did, but it takes up the entire screen when I create a new file.  Is there any way to shrink it back down to the image I'm about to open w/o having a gray background? Thank you in advance for any suggestions!  -Ella

    Sorry for not indicating what version of Photoshop I was using.  It's version Elements 6 and yes, I'm on Macintosh. It isn't a problem with the document window and docking.  It's already undock.  The problem I'm having is that when I get ready to create an image from the clip board, and click on New file, I get a huge gray window with the image in the center of the huge (gray) canvas. Before, I would get the canvas to be the same size as the image.  I would like that when I copy off the clipboard, the canvas be the size of the image.  As it is, I have to keep going to the lower right corner and shrinking the canvas to the proper size every time I get ready to do a new image, no matter what size it is.  Thank you.  -Ella

  • Photoshop canvas is hidden

    I keep having issues with photoshop in Lion. I open a file in photoshop, but the file cannot be seen. If I go to the photoshop menu inder windows, I can see the file name listed as an open window, but that open window just does not show. I go up to mission control and it is not there anywhere. All hte photoshop menus ect are showing, just not the main canvas of the file open. Kind of pointless to open a file when you cant see the file that is open.
    I have to keep quitting photoshop and then relaunching it and resetting the preferences to defualt.

    This problem happened to me twice!!! I ended up blogging about my problem and all the troublshooting I went through, and how (on two seperate occassions), I ended up solving my problem I hope this is helpful!

  • Camera improvement ideas

    Hello Sony, 
    please consider the following changes for Z1 camera recording:
    - slow motion mode
    - 60fps for 1080p videos
    Do anyone have another idea for improving the camera? 
    Please share your opinion.
    Thank you. 

    Hey!
    I just saw on the video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRmGJsTOL30
    that Nokia Lumia 1020 has the option to choose between different picture tario at the same resolution, simply, the ratio you want like 4:3, #:2, 1:1,16:9 etc. Why Z1 do not have this option??? There should be also more resolution higher that 8MPx available, 20MPx with all the functions and scene.
    Also the video recording really needs an update because colours are washed out, contrast low, and details blurry, Give us 1080p 60 fps and eliminate micro stuttering.
    Thank you!  

  • How can I get rid of an important improvement idea concerned with online banking - preferably eMail address?

    So here comes the idea:
    When in online-banking (quite commonly!) the page/portal of the Bank has to be abandoned f.i. to look up something else, or this happens acccidentally, the connection is forced to break with a timeout. No good for the system, worse for the user as all entries are lost and have to be done again. And to get into the portal again may take some time until on server-side the user-gate is closed, and next time the entry is usually hampered with stupid and tedious explanations.
    Solution: An extra list in 'Extras' to hold all URLs where 'warnings' are wanted.
    'Warnings': When a portal or page (URL) listed here is commanded to be closed or this happens unwanted, a prompt for y/n with "do you really want to close?"
    Preferable structure of the list: Optional in addition to the URL i.e. in quotes or other appropriate delimiters the text of a deliberately chosen message to replace the standard warning.
    PS: could be useful for many other applications also!

  • My Photoshop CS6 Bugs, Ideas and other things

    First of all, great job on many new features like: Dashed strokes, Styles for your Character and Paragraphs, Background saving.
    I'm a webdesigner and I am using it now this whole morning and midday. So far so good, install went fine, working perfectly. But below a list of features I miss and a list of bugs or some other things I miss.
    - Changing the opacity of a layer from any number to 100% doesnt work with the numeric pad
    - Great job on the styles for typography, but why not doing the same thing for colors/swatches. You can make your own swatch library and you can attach that color to any object, shape, whatever. What would be really handy if you change that color in the swatches it would affect all objects who share that swatch. Really missing that feature a long time!
    - Still missing external use of images/psd's/ any format. That I can place in my document, for example a psd, and when I change the original psd it would also automaticly update the placed object. It's like using a library like Fireworks.
    - I like it when I drag my documents into photoshop, but when I drag a PSD to Photoshop it will open as a smartobject into the file wich was open, not as a new window. You can only achieve that by dragging it outside of the document, more like dragging it onto the option bars... Imo that's irritating.
    - If you make a vector shape, it creates a path. If you select the shape it will show the path outlines around the shape. When you apply layer effects on the shape the shape is still selected, so you will see the path outlines around the shape. It's very annoying when you apply a stroke around the object it still showing the outline of the path around it. In CS4 (don't know about CS5) you could deselect the layer, then double click the effects icon on the layer and it will popu the layer styles menu without showing the outline of the path, in CS6 that doesnt work anymore.
    I try to update this once in a while

    So i finally started using the trial photoshop 6 and the first thing I notice, (that was wrong with 5.5) is that the zoom is zagged! Why must it zoom in large increments using the magic mouse? How it is possible to work with images zooming (very clunky) is beyond me. Photoshop 4 is fine. Nice and smooth when I'm using the finger scroll like a wel tuned machine, but then in the newest and greatest editions, it works like smashing the throttle to pull forward an inch!
    This is crazy that something as basic as this is not addressed. Thank god that I can use the lasso tool and the zoom with scroll wheel again in this version (didn't work in 5.5) but hopefully this get s addressed. I really don't want to have to suffer through this when the newest final version is out.
    Also, ( I assume this will be fixed in the final version) all of my preferences get reset everytime i open it. That is annoying.
    So far I like the new look and it is much better than 5, but the basic things should work!  I'm also not used to the tools not lining up with the cursors the same way. The lasso tool used to line up with the actual lasso, but now they line up with the arrow. Makes sense, but will take some getting used to.
    PLEASE FIX THE ZOOM!

  • Scrubbing on iPad. Improvements ideas of russian localization

    Hi, i'm a russian user of iPad.
    When i'm watching video, or listen to music, small hint appears, when i grab a playhead with finger:
    +Скорость скраббинга: высокая+
    +Отрегулируйте скорость скраббинга пальцем.+
    The english version is:
    +High speed scrubbing+
    +Slide your finger down to adjust the scrubbing rate+
    English version is good enough to understand.
    But, with russian version, i see usability problems:
    1. There is no word "скраббинг" in Russian language. No one can understand it. I've never understood this, until i've accidentally slided my finger down.
    2. Nothing hints, how to adjust scrubbing speed. When i translate russian version back to english, it will sound like so: "Adjust the scrubbing speed with fingers". Of course, the question is "How ?".
    Solution ideas:
    Instead of "скраббинг", to use a word "перемотка". This word is widely known in Russia.
    So, the final hint may sound like this:
    +Скорость перемотки: высокая+
    +Потяните пальцем вниз, чтобы её уменьшить.+
    Also, some visual hint can be displayed, like arrows, pointing down.
    I've created some concept, while i've written an article about this subject for my website (http://mymacintosh.ru).
