Photoshop "Fill" Dialog Box is missing "Scripted Pattern" option..

Photoshop "Fill" Dialog Box (using the most current Creative Cloud) is missing "Scripted Pattern" option which is supposed to be at the very bottom. Instead, in the middle of the box I have the option to check the word "Script" which brings up only six fill patterns (such as Brick, Sprial, etc). In the tutorials I see that by using Scripted Patterns (the tree option for one) brings up many, many choices.

Big changes made in Fill between CC and CC 2014. CC Fill dialog on top CC2014 Fill dialog bottom. Picture Frame and Tree moved from Fill to Render Filter and new Flame pattern added into render filter grouped with Picture Frame and Tree.

Pattern fill question

Hi i'm a student and learning how to work with with photoshop, indesign and illustrator. I've only been practesing for a month and a half now but we al had to start somewhere
Now my question is: i've been trying to get a pattern fill in illustrator with simple circle shapes. This, i can do. But then i want to put the pattern in an object without it cutting the edge of the object so i don't get any circles cut in half.
So that is looks like the shape is made from these tiny shapes.
I'm probably not making any sense so here's an example that kinda looks like my idea: http://us.123rf.com/400wm/400/400/princesszelda/princesszelda1006/princesszelda100600005/7 219623-heart-shape-made-of-circles-inspired-by-colour-blind-tests-the-vector-version-has-t he-heart-and-main.jpg
But without the different colours ofcourse.
Thanks for answering in advance, i've been stuck with the for days

The example is probably not a pattern fill. Notice how the circles align with the border of the shapes. This would not be possible using a pattern fill. It MAY be possible using the "Symbol Sprayer" tool or "Scatter Brush". You might want to study these features.

Simple shape fill question

Ok ... i've been using photoshop since 1.0, and this has to be an elementary question - i'm just blanked.
I drew a shape with the pen tool, closed it by clicking on the starting node.
But the fill is "outside" the shape and not "inside".
I've never seen this happen before ...i've drawn literally thousands of shapes (tracing images etc as you would in illustrator or other vector-drawing programs).... what gives? how do i get the shape fill "inside" the shape and not "outside"?
thanks.

Adobe Photoshop Touch Question / Issue

Hello,
I bought Adobe Photoshop Touch some time ago for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and I liked it so much. Of all the apps I had for photo editing, this one gave me all I need. I used to own Adobe Photoshop CS2 on my old PC so I wanted something for my tab as well. I was very satisfied by this app until my tab died some time ago. After a pain of service and repairs, the tab worked again but it had a new issue. Anytime I used the device on something more demanding (i.e. playing games ) the tab overheated a lot and the screen started to touch itself very much as, if it was pressed all the time. After some time of struggle with it I decided to wipe it clean and pass it out to a family member who would maybe dedicate more time to fix it.
Last month I bought myself a new device ( Sony Xperia Z ) and I was eager to get all my data on it and apps of course. To my sadness Adobe Photoshop Touch is not compatible with my device now, and it just sits there in my app list doing nothing . I could install only Photoshop Express but it does not give me the full access I had with Touch. I saw that there is another product called Photoshop Touch for smartphones and it seems to be the same as what I had only phone edition.
My problem is that I can not get this new app unless I pay for it and I do not wish to do that because I already paid for the previous edition.
My question is: Can I somehow obtain the Smartphone edition and the previous version ( which apparently is for tablets I suppose ) be removed from my Google Play account. I would purchase the smartphone version but there is no point in having 1 app 2 times.
I would happily like the staff to remove my previous version from my account if they would gave me the smartphone version and I acknowledge that the tab app was more expensive than the smartphone version and Adobe will not refund me the money difference nor are they obligated to give me the smartphone version. I am just asking if it would be possible because I like that app and it's such a shame for it to be in my app list and not be used. Thank you for your time in reading this and no matter what answer I get, I will be ok with it. Have a nice day .

I don't think you'll have much luck. PS Touch for tablets was designed for just tablets; PS Touch for phones was designed for just phones. Touch for phones came out a little later than Touch for tablets. (By several months, if I recall.) On the brighter side, if you ended up buying Touch for phones, you'd be covered no matter which device you had.
Both are very similar in function. I believe the only differences are their UIs; Touch for tablets is landscape-oriented-specific while Touch for phones is portrait-oriented. (Some elements are also placed differently.) I imagine this allows for maximum utilization of screen real estate and element placement.

What are the forensic limitations of Metadata & Exif Data+ Adobe Photoshop 3 question; e.g. Metadata

I have some questions regarding metadata, and exif data on digital cameras and its forensic limitations in Adobe photoshop 3;
For instance; After a picture is taken and has a metadata/exif digital stamp of the "picture being taken day" under what circumstances can that "picture being taken day" be changed?
Does the picture being taken day change when you import it into adobe photoshop 3 and add a caption?
Does it change only when the picture is edited, to perhaps add a white sidebar that says "family photo" or whatever?
Under what circumstances does the exif/metadata digital time stamp of the "picture being taken day" change?
Also, is it possible to change the picture being taken day on a photograph in adobe photoshop 3 manually?
Thanks-
Phil

I guess it would be easier to give you an example. The above picture shows the exif data as 9.11.2001. How is this possible if this is a 911 victim? In the top metadata, it says Adobe photoshop 3. I assume this is the program it was last edited in? Or was adobe software used exclusively in cameras back then perhaps? I am not sure, I just know I have many questions I really want answers to. Was the exif data changed perhaps in the above photo on 9.11.2001 to add that white sidebar, which says (Family photo) ?? Click the image below to see the screenshot of what I am looking at, this way we are on the same page or picture so to speak.
Any help you can give will be greatly appreciatted...
Thanks,

Photoshop import question?

How can I take a screen shot in Premiere Pro (CS6 or CC) without it becoming distorted? Lately, when doing this, the images are elongated. Then, when I bring the image into Photoshop, it looks fine, except that the Pixel Aspect Ratio has been automatically engaged. I seem to not be able to do anything to the image to correct it and when saved, it goes back to its distorted form. What am I doing incorrectly? What is the fix for this? Is this a Premiere issue or a Photoshop issue? If a Premiere issue, please kick the question over to the appropriate forum. SIDE NOTE: I tried to resolve this via a chat session...that was an exercise in futility.
Thanks!

So much for grace, but I guess it is to be expected. I am using Premiere Pro CS6, editing HDV footage. Premiere is set for HDV 60i, 23.97 frame rate. I am capturing the screen shot from the program monitor (timeline) having tried the preview monitor earlier, with the same distorted results. And for the record, you ARE rude. I've responded to others' questions on this and other forums--even when it was apparent that they had no clue what they were asking, but I exhibited FAR MORE GRACE THAN YOU in asking for more information, so that I might be able to help them.
You're welcome.

Photoshop/Dreamweaver question

Hi,
I used Photoshop to create a Flash slideshow via the Tools menu in Bridge.
Now i want to put it is a Dreamweaver page, but it has left me with the folowing files: flashobject.js, photos.js, gallery.swf, galleryconfig.xml, photos.xml, index.html, UserSelections.txt, images file, pages file and thumbnails file.
When I add the gallery.swf file to Dreamweaver it goes on in a large grey box as it should, but when I try to play it or open it in a browser it is just blank, as in there is nothing there. If I double click index.html it works perfectly.
If it helps the gallery.swf icon is like a filestrip with Adobe Illustrator logo in it, rather than the usally Flash logo.
any help would be great,
Thank you,
markus

The answer is to not let Photoshop write either your HTML or your CSS for you. What you show is a disaster waiting to happen, really, and is characteristic of the kind of mess produced by any wizard that writes HTML based on a graphic layout. Use your graphics editors to produce your graphics. Build your page in DW. It's a much better way to go.
I know how to make a DIV center (with Margin auto left and right) but I do not know how to center all DIV's at once.
I hope you are willing to help me with this. In case you have more questions let me know.
Leaving your page with all absolutely positioned elements is really asking for trouble, but here's how to make them all center at once -
Change this -
</head>
to this -
<style type="text/css">
#wrapper { width:760px; margin:0 auto;position:relative; }
/* 760px will display on an 800px screen maximized browser window without */
/* horizontal scrollbars. Change as needed */
</style>
</head>
change this -
<body ...>
(the ellipsis represents any other attributes that might be mentioned in the body tag, and SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED EXPLICITLY!)
to this -
<body ...>
<div id="wrapper">
and this -
</body>
to this -

</div>
</body>
and see if that helps.

NVIDIA Geforce 9400M and Adobe Photoshop/CS5 question

Adobe states that their new software, due to ship April 30, will require a "... qualified hardware-accelerated OpenGL graphics card, 16-bit color, and 256MB of VRAM"
Does the 9400M on the base model iMac and many other models including laptops, offer hardware acceleration to OpenGL?
If I want to buy a new computer to run CS5, do I HAVE to buy the better models that do not have the 9400M? I'm sure the better model (with ATI Radeon HD 4670) would be better, but is it an absolute requirement? Adobe is not sure which models are qualified. I've been making a list of Intel based Macs that surely won't run CS5. A demo version is forthcoming to find out for ourselves. Any hardware geeks or engineers with tech info?

Hi, this is a what I found out: The respective hardware is listed here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/831/cpsid_83117.html
With my white Macbook 4.1 I have no problems to use all features of the regulard Photoshop CS5. Even when running on 2 monitors (I do the actual work on a 23" Apple Display and use the MacBook for my tools)
Even a test with Photoshop Extended CS5 version has worked out but with lousy performance. In case there are people out who like to know, what can be done with OpenGL ... Adobe is great in hiding stuff:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404898.html#updating
Further information can be found here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404898.html
Also a lot information can be found in the 600+ pages Manual. This is also pretty much hidden. You need to activate the onlin help and than click the text in the upper right corner which read something like "Show Help-PDF (38MB)" ... the wording in German is "Hilfe-PDF anzeigen (38MB)
Or you download it here:
http://help.adobe.com/enUS/photoshop/cs/using/photoshop_cs5help.pdf
http://help.adobe.com/deDE/photoshop/cs/using/photoshop_cs5help.pdf
There is, however, a big problem as soon as several applications use OpenGL. In my case it is EyeTV. I can either view live TV or record it. I cannot do both. Neither can I view a recorded Clip in EyeTV. For me as a non-professional it appears, that OpenGL allows a program to do TWO things at a time which can only be done, if the storage (RAM) is separated). Since Photoshop and EyeTV fight for the same spaces only one can be on first. And Photoshop seems to dominate... the normal view of the picture is produced by the regular chip while the bells and whistles a supported by the graphic chip. EyeTV may even freeze.
By the way, there is an option, to stop EyeTV (and probably other programs too) from using OpenGL.
http://support.elgato.com/index.php?m=knowledgebase&a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=3097
It works i.e. the basics like viewing and recording works but I have decided to use always only one OpenGL-program at a given time.
Last comment - though you did not ask: I have marked under "Finder Information" to open in 32-Bit modus. The program as such works also without this mark but plug-ins like those from NIK-software do not work yet. Their updates are coming:
http://www.niksoftware.com/support/usa/entry.php?view=faqs/generalanswers.shtml#CS5compatibility
I will post my question on a related issue separately = will an increase of the graphic memory to 512MB guarantee better performance or it it also a question, how OSX 10.6 manages the split various memory chips?

Photoshop CS4 question (Tiles)

Sirs,
I have tried asking the Photoshop CS4 technical support a question which they are so far unable to answer - perhaps this forum can provide an answer.
The question: Located within Photoshop CS4 there is the option to install "Bigger Tiles". Several technical websites have stated that in is important to install the bigger tiles to improve the performance of CS4 and not installing causes Cs4 to run slower and less efficiently. So what is Adobe's opinion on installing the bigger tiles? To be clear - the option to install is included within Cs4 and the tiles are not an external 3rd party application - I say this to be clear since your technical support on the phone (4 times) had never heard of Bigger Tiles.

What follows refers specifically to CS4, but it's not from Adobe at all. Just passing this on, for whatever it may be worth:
Be clear on this: Adobe’s advice as of January 2009 is stale. Plugins that Adobe either doesn’t enable or even include by default are critical to performance!
Use the Bigger Tiles plugin in conjunction with DisableScratchCompress plugin. Failure to use these plugins results in a penalty of up to 50% on Mac OS X in any “decent” configuration (over 100% for Photoshop CS3). It’s bizarre that Adobe calls these “legacy” plugins, because they have a massive performance impact. Download the Plugins
Bigger Tiles is critical
The Bigger Tiles plugin in particular is absolutely critical to performance in most cases, especially with large files. Using Photoshop CS4 11.0.1, I measured these bizarre results with and without Bigger Tiles on both a 2.8GHz 2008 Mac Pro and a 2.93GHz 2009 Mac Pro Nehalem. I confirmed with Rob-Art at barefeats.com that same behavior; the culprit seems to be the Smart Sharpen function, which runs far more slowly without Bigger Tiles.
Even if the scratch disk is not being used (no disk writes are observed), using the Bigger Tiles plugin is essential.
Possible exception: if you use files with numerous (50 or more) layers, Bigger Tiles might or might not help, or could be slower. Test your own particular workflow.

Photoshop 6 Question about purchasing on Apple website

First off,
I am very sorry for posting this under Aperture. I have no idea where I would post a question like this and if any of you could even answer it. I will delete it once I get an answer..if I do. haha.
I want to buy Photoshop CS6. I am a student and was browing on the apple website and saw two of the same package but for two different prices. Do you know why one would be cheaper than the other? I couldn't find anything different about them... It's the two Student and Teacher Edition softwares.
What's the difference?
Once again, very sorry for posting here.
Thank you!

You may want to call the Apple store support to ask why they are showing two prices.
I know that currently Adobe is offering a $20 instant rebate with a supplied code through 8/26. The normal price is $249.99 minus the $20 (giving you the $229.99 price you see in the Apple store).
Adobe link:

Either way that is a great price if you need the full extended package.

Photoshop Fill - A major integration issue?

For the first time in a production environment, I was ready
to use FW CS3 to slice and dice a colleague's PSD. I opened it in
Photoshop and then in Fireworks for comparison - the two looked
nothing alike.
This particular colleague likes to take advantage of PS's
Fill setting (as opposed to opacity and I can understand why in
certain situations) - but Fireworks has no understanding of this
Fill concept so every layer that uses it is darker in FW. So what's
a guy to do?
Is this a known integration issue? Will there be a solution
for CS4? Can I wait that long? Is it ever really worth trying to
open a PSD in Fireworks?
I'm more than a little disappointed...
Matt
Firewoiks

I haven't tried this yet, but here's a thought:
PS is layer based, FW is object bases. As a result, in FW you
can
control the opacity of layers AND objects. Is it similar
enough to
Photoshop's Fill and Opacity in a layer? Maybe adjusting the
opacity of
the object will get you what you need? It might impact the
stroke on the
object, but you could possibly duplicate the object and
remove/mask it's
fill, so the solid stroke remains.
It's a workaround, and a bit more work, but it might solve
the problem
for now.

Starting Photoshop application question

Hi Ive just started the 30 day trial in photoshop and this may sound like a silly question but how do you get into the actual application?

Can you at the very least tell us your platform, Mac or Win, and the version of Photoshop you downloaded?
You need to extract the download, install the application and launch it. In order to guide you, a lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

Simple Fill Question

I am doing a step-by-step tutorial called "Ray of Light". I am a newbee, so no laughing. I am at the poing where I am trying to replicate this cool design:
[IMG]http://images2.flashkit.com/tutorials/Special_Effects/Ray_of_L-Mark_Fen-1/ray_fill.gif[/IM G]
I managed the gradient:
[IMG]http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/Athono/helpa.jpg[/IMG]
Then I used the free-form tool and another button to nudge the shape into place:
[IMG]http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/Athono/helpb.jpg[/IMG]
Now, do I fill in the space bettween the right white edge of the warped triangle and the left edge of the letter?
The Tutorial says "Once created you need to fill the lights. Use the gradient tool, and the lock tool to create the perfect effect. "
I do not kow what the lock tool is? I am using CS4 and I think the tutorial was written for a different version.

Good point, but still not the answer.
I do not know what caused the problem but when I made sure the area I wanted to fill in was bounded by a new white line on the top and one on the bottom, I was able suddenly to fill in the area.
The red lines were on the same layer. I made sure of this by putting a visual X (sorry I do not know the term) on the column where you can hide the layers except for the layer I was using.
The question as to why this happened is not answered but the problem now is solved.
So should I just mark this as being answered?

Photoshop upgrade question

I am thinking of buying Adobe Creative Suite 2 for MAC OSX [Creative Suite 2 :Illustrator CS2; InDesign CS2; Photoshop CS2; ImageReady CS2; Cue CS2]. It's cheap - which is what I need. I have bought a MacMini running OS X 10.8 because I got left behind on the PPC powerbook.
I understand that that CS2 is slow, as it's a half way house beteen the two Mac system architectures.
So I found a cheap upgrade [Adobe Photoshop Extended CS5, Upsell Version from Photoshop CS2/CS3/CS4]
But I wonder if this will work as an upgrade to the CS2 one. This one is Photoshop alone, so I don't know if it would upgrade just the photoshop part of the CS2 suite? I only need Photoshop, anyway [the CS2 suite is selling really cheap]
So to be long winded... I hope it makes sense.
Thank you, anyone out there who migt know.
John
PS There's a site selling pretty cheap Adobe products ... I wonder if anyone knows if it's a rip off site??

Hi John, I'm reasonably certain that site isn't all that legit...
Based in the Ukraine btw...

As far as CS2, I doubt it can even be installed on/in 10.8.x
