Photoshop CS 5 - Brushes have unwanted pixels they never had before

Hi there
Since a few days, most of my brushes have ugly pixels they never had before.
The pixels show up outside the contours of the brushes.
I'll give you some examples here:
On the screenshot you'll see that some of the thumbnails already show the extra squares I mean...
How can I solve this?

So guys,
Today the problem showed up again, and I know what causes it now!
After importing a large .psd-file in my poster .psd-file, some other layers in the file turned quite black and with countable pixels.
After "undo place image" and closing the file (without saving), it looked like there were parts of layers missing when I opened it again.
Afterwards I opened my Photoshop again and noticed that in the VIEW menu, I could click "monitor RGB", this solved the whole thing.
Have a nice weekend!

I am having serious issuse trying to open websites or links which i have never had before

I am having serious issues trying to open websites/pages or links which i have never had before. For instance when i open Firefox and my tabs start to load, sites such as Yahoo, Gamespot or Fox News struggle to open (these are just an example of a wider picture) Other times Firefox just freezes either for Minutes on end or completely until it either crashes or i have to task manage out of it. Firefox has total privelages through both my antivirus software and the in built Microsoft firewall. I never used to have this problem and speaking to some friends some of them are experienceing the same thing and due to the lack of help from Firefox have reverted to using Explorer. I do not recieve any error messages or messages stating there are problems with any of the sites that struggle or fail to open. I have tried disabling all add-ons and starting Firefox in save mode but no luck. I have also tried to change the settings in Options / Privacy - History from Remeber History to Use custom settings for history but this just keeps reverting back to original setting. Any help would be greatly appreciated as i don't want to return to using Windows Explorer.

FF4 has problems with script-heavy sites. There are two solutions:
1) Downgrade to 3.6
OR
2) Use a different broser

I had iOS4.3 before i restored it now i have got ios 4.2.1 which i never had before? how do i get it back to my normal one? 4.

After restoring my iPod it went back to its factory conditions and i got iOS 4.2.1 which i have never had before? how can i get it back to my normal one or how can i get iOS 5 as on the apple website nothing is telling me to how to download it? can i please get some feed back so i know what to do.
Also the touchscreen isnt intime as quick as it used to be after I restored it, This is quite annoying whist im playing a game on my iPod. Thanks:)

Are you sure you really have a 3G iPod? A 2G iPod can only go to iOS 4.2.1. When you restore an iPOd wyou will get the latest iOS.
You need iTunes 10.5.X for iOS 5.
If your iPod is a 8 or 16 GB one it is a 2G iPod. Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. A 32 GB one can be either. To tell a 2G fom a 3G ypy need to know the model numbe engraved on the back see:

I purchased Premiere Elements 13. Elements does not support Windows Vista which is our operating system. I have Elements 12 and never had this problem.

I purchased Premiere Elements 13 & Elements does not support Windows Vista which is our operating system. I have Elements 12 and never had this problem. What are my options? Do you have a compatible program for WinVista similar to Premiere Element?

This is not Adobe. Please do not duplicate threads. I have answered one of at least 3 of your threads currently appearing at the top of the list of threads in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum tonight. Please see

New to Premiere Elements 13....it does not support Windows XP, Windows Vista, and OSX 10.7.

In your other thread which I have cited above, I have posted a list of choices ahead of you. There is no workaround to get Premiere Elements 13 to support Vista, XP, or OSX 10.7 that has ever surfaced.

Now I have to render everything - never had to before

When I first started my video I could add text on top of a clip in the sequence and I never had to render anything. Now towards the end anytime I add text on top of a clip, I always have to render. All I'm doing is adding a Lower 3rd text box.
The only thing that has changed that I can think of is that the video is now almost two hours long. I'm curious to know why now all text added in has to be rendered when in the beginning it did not. Thanks.

Well as your project gets more complicated you are adding to the things fcp and the mac have to keep track of so you are adding to system overhead. If you take a bunch of stills and edit them into a new timeline, you'll see the first stills will be real time and the later stills will require a render. Seems to be the way things are.

I have Iphone 4s, but never had dictation. Siri is not in settings so that I can set up dictation. Please help, anxious to dictate messages. Have tried everything.

Never had the microphone icon. Also, I don't have Siri in my settings. Tried everything.

Try going into Settings>General>Restrictions. Siri could be turned off there. If it is not listed there, it is possible you do not have an iPhone 4S, but an iPhone 4. Did you buy this device new, advertised as a 4S? What is the model number of the device?

I have some weird asian language coming up on some websites and they never did before

If I open this link http://twitter.com/#!/VanCanucks I get this, 与 Vancouver Canucks 保持联系 I have my language setting on English/Canada so I don't know why this is coming up? If I click on this link I get the full page of asian writing. http://canucks.nhl.com/v2/ext/pdf/MetropolisHotSeatContest_Rules_Regs_092911.docx
Can you please help me get rid of this please?

The link MetropolisHotSeatContest_Rules_Regs_092911.docx is a docx document (looks like a ZIP archive) that needs to be opened by Word or another program that can handle it. The file is send as text/plain and that causes Firefox to open it as a text file in a tab. You need to right-click the link to that file and use "Save Link as" or hold down Alt and left-click the link to initiate a download dialog.

Hi, I recently came back from 3 months of not using my imac and found it to be exceedingly slow (a problem i have never had before (eg i cant get through playing a song on itunes without it pausing over 10 times for intervals of ~5 seconds.

Please read subject first then continue with this text:
Then I tried to connect my IPAD and IPHONE and neither would update because it couldnt find the file or something and then i couldnt even restore.
The next day itunes was gone completely: "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (13014)"
dAnd then the next day ie today there is NO DOCK, NO BACKGROUND and NO DESKTOP ICONS! I had to open safari from the top bar that was only there because I have one random application called Garmin ANT that remained open (i never use this application, its a running computer watch thing)
Thank you so much for any help you can provide
PS Do i have a virus?
I didnt think macs could get viruses?
How do i back up my computer if i cant open finder?
Thanks again
PPS my computer is updated as far as i can tell and achieve.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

HT1212 I downloaded the latest software on mini ipad. It now asks me for password which I never had before and I have tried various passwords only for ipad to be disabled. Is there any way to restart my ipad without losing my data especially my photos

I have a mini ipad and recently downloaded the latest os.I now can't access without a password which I didn't use before.My ipad has been disabled as I don't know what password to use.Is there any way I can enable my ipad with a new password without losing my info and data especially photos?

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

Since upgrading to 10.7.3 and iPhoto 11, I am encountering problems I never had before. Can't run slide show or make a book; in email, can't put in new signature. Any help out there. I have also downloaded the 9.2.3 update for the iPhoto.

Can't run slideshow in iPhoto. Updated to iPhoto 11 and that is when the problem started. Upgraded to 10.7.3 and now can not edit my email signatures. I have also downloaded 9.2.3 for iPhoto. I have always updated when new software was found. This new 10.7.3 is terrible. Can I go back????

Why do you think iPhoto affects your ability to edit Mail sigs? What happens when you try to run a slideshow? Have you tried re-applying the .7.3 update? Repairing permissions?

Across the top of my screen i have a circle with a lock inside. never had before??

across top of my screen i have a 3/4 circle with a lock symbol inside?

It means that your screen is locked in portrait orientation. To unlock it, see page 21 of the iPhone iOS5 User Guide.

Why does your plugincontainer.exe always lock up my computer? I have windows xp. Never had a problem till that was added to your browser.

I have windows xp and when ever I go to a program that requires your browser to use the plugincontainer.exe it locks up my computer....when I am doing a simple search I don't have any problems. can I remove this file and still not have a problem with the browser?

This guy said it perfectly. I have much better things to do with my time than try to figure out how to reset all the icons I established over weeks of work. Your methodology Sucks, and the extra work you cause me Sucks! QUIT screwing up my settings!

Do I have to uninstall the CS4 software before updating the NVIDIA driver and reinstall CS4 after?

I have just installed CS4 on Windows 7 and I get the message that I need to update NVIDIA driver.
Is it really neccassary to update driver even if I have no problems using Photoshop?
Do I have to uninstall the CS4 software before updating the NVIDIA driver and reinstall CS4 afterwards or is there a way around it?
Here are the technical details:
Processor speed: 3325 MHz
Video Card Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
Video Card Renderer: GeForce GT 220/PCI/SSE2
OpenGL Drawing: Enabled.
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 220
Video Mode: 1680 x 1050 x 4294967296 colors
Video Card Driver: nvd3dum.dll,nvwgf2um.dll,nvwgf2um.dll
Driver Version: 8.15.11.8627
Built-in memory: 3063 MB
Free memory: 1981 MB
Memory available to Photoshop: 1643 MB
Memory used by Photoshop: 60 %
Image cache levels: 4

I have never had to reinstall any program for a video driver.
Now, check out the instructions for your particular nVidia driver, and the exact steps can differ. Just did my Quadro FX-4500 and it was just an install over the older driver. However, looking at another nVidia card's driver, and there were 3-4 settings in the nVidia console, that had to be reset BEFORE installing that driver. Did not affect me, but would have been a different operation for the next guy, with a different nVidia card. nVidia makes it easy with the necessary instructions - follow those to the letter, or issues can arise and the entire driver can get hosed. Things could be a simple as download, and execute, to having to do several things before you execute.
Good luck,
Hunt

Driver I Have Never Seen Before

I just re-installed win 7 pro. But for some unknown reason I have a drive "F" that I never had before. It tells me that it has "Data" on it. But when I open the drive it's empty. I'm running RAID for my "C" drive, and my "D"
drive is data. I have no idea what this "F" drive is. How do I delete it, or remove it??? Suggestions??
Thank You.
