Pixelation in the Edit function

Here are my settings in iPhoto 4:
I'm in an album, in the EDIT function, and I'm using the ARROW buttons to move forward and backward.
Here is the problem:
When the image comes up onscreen, it is very pixelated for 2 or 3 seconds before becoming sharp and crisp, so I find myself looking at "blurry" images most of the time, particularly if I want to move on quickly to the next image.
The question:
Is the prolonged pixelation normal, or there a setting that needs to be changed?
Many thanks,

Les,
iPhoto behaves the same way for me (I have iPhoto 6 now, but it's been the same in previous versions).
The application is loading images in 2 passes, one coarser initially, to speed up load times, then the full resolution in the second pass. I think you can't change it.
In my personal opinion, it beats the alternative, which is staring at an empty screen until the full resolution image displays.
The good news is that you don't have to wait until the full resolution image is loaded before going to the next one. If you know you are scrolling down 3 or 4 pics, you can hit the left arrow 3-4 times in a row and iPhoto will jump to the last image quickly.
Hope this helps!

I never had this problem before but all of a sudden when I go to "edit" a photo the photo turns black. All the editing functions appear but I cannot see any picture. When I hit "done" the photo reappears. Why can I no longer see my photo for editing pu

For years I have had no problems editing photos. However, for some reason when I go to "edit" my photo the photo turns BLACK/BLANK. The editing functions appear but I cannot see the photo. When I select "done" the photo reappears. Why is the photo disappearing for editing? Have I hit a command accidentally that is causing this? Really appreciate someone's assistance.

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #1, Repair Permissions, followed by Option #4, Rebuild Database, if needed.

Cannot complete the editing function in Photoshop Elements 10

I can transfer files from the Organizer to the Editor, and complete editing, but when I Save it and try to close it, it fails and gives a message that it is only 95% complete. Nothing else happens. I cannot even delete the file which is only indicated by an hour gloass figure in the Organizer. Basically, I can't edit. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

I've used Windows 8 for about a year. I do have a "watched folder" which
seems to function normally. I followed your suggestion to disable the
"watched folder" but the problem still persists. Some additional info that
might help . (1) When I open to the Organizer, it opens instead to the
Editor. But I can get to the Organizer that way. It just seems odd. (2)
The rogue files (only about 10 recently edited or created for a SS) are now
visible in the Organizer but only if I click on them at single rather than
multiple picture size. (3)I I tried to load a few "normal" pictures to
create a SS and the normal SS option has disappeared. The only option is a
pdf SS. I've always used the normal SS option with its creativity features.
I'm starting to think the best course might be to delete the current PSE 10
and download a fresh copy PSE 10. I'll need some guidance because when I go
to My Adobe where my Serial Numbers are, I can't find out how to download
PSE 10. I've got fairly recent PSE 10 BU file including TLY and BUC. If
you agree, I could use some guidance on how to proceed.
Thanks in advance and for all of your help . Phil Young
Incidentally, I downloaded a trial of PSE 12 and it looks great. But I'll
wait awhile as I just bought books for PSE 10 and PRE 10. My wife handles
finances and keeps me on a short leash.

Why won't my Adobe XI pro show the edit function?

I open the pdf that needs editing but it is not an option. I have Adobe XI pro.

Thanks for the response. The version of Corel Ventura that we are using worked well with our previous version of Acrobat Pro, which was version 6. We could generate PDFs from Ventura 7 two ways: either by 1) using the printer driver, which is still listed in the application as "Adobe PDF,Net05" or by 2) selecting this driver and checking the "Print to a file" box. This second method produced a ".prn" file that we could then slide onto the Distiller icon to open Distiller and create the PDF file. Neither of these options now works with Acrobat Pro XI. In fact, I just tried the first method again and received the following error message in a Notepad pop-up window:
%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: setdash ]%%
Stack:
0.0
/asc42
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Update: We just updated to Corel Ventura 10, and now we CAN generate PDFs using the "Publish to PDF" method. Thanks for your help again!

Problems creating notation from scratch using the edit function of GarageBa

I am using garage band to write music. I open
a blank loop with a grand piano system instrument and
begin editing. I encounter the following problems:
1. The software does not allow me to enter any note
below middle c on additional or ledger lines that
should be available below the stave of the treble
clef.
1.1 Connected to this issue is that it is very
difficult to write music that contains subtleties.
This directly affects the way the music sounds. The
program substitutes accidentals in the stave
conditioned by the key signature. For example writing
Chopin in GarageBand as opposed to the written sheet
music is the difference between buying a designer
dress in a Bond Street Boutique and buying a cheap
copy in Primark. "Brins Bungalo" Tutorial claims
that
Garageband "is an application suitable for both the
dabbler and the conservatorially trained."
2. When there are many notes to be entered in a bar
garageBand is not flexible to accomodate the notes
required, Notes are clustered in a bunch makiing it
difficult to read what has been written (preventing the composer checking that it has been written correctly).
3. When there are many notes to be written in a bar
e.g. more than, say four notes, (lots of quavers or semi quavers) the
program does some strange things which I am unable to
control:
a) groups unrelated larger notes with the smaller
notes and will not allow them to be separated;
b) changes the value of notes already entered;
c) sometimes splits the note being entered into two
smaller notes joined by a tie;
d) accidentals appear on notes entered or notes
already entered without my instruction;
e) it changes note values, filling up the bar, to the
value of the time key before I have a chance to finish
entering the remaining notes that I want to place in
the bar;
4. How is one able to enter "dynamics" (symbol marks
of expression). I know it is possible because many of
the preloaded loops have these expressions evident
within them. I have tried consulting GarageBand Help but this has proved impossible to fathom.
Can anyone help?

You have my sympathy as I also wanted to enter notes on a stave but GB is simply not designed to do it.
You can do an amazing amount with GB but complex scoring is not really possible. You can't print a score btw.
In answer to some of your questions,
Expression cannot be added using the scoring facility. You need to go back to the piano roll view and use the expression/modulation/pitchbend/footswitch parameters.
I think you're possibly doing something wrong as I've just done a little test and I've entered a C0 without a problem.
I've also not had problems moving notes about and getting the right length or having GB fill notes to the end of the bar.
This is how I do it.
Create a software track.
Double click on the track to get the track editor.
Press record and use the the keyboard on the piano roll to enter a note. You've now created a recording region. You can't enter notes outside a recording region so you might need to drag it out to the required size.
Swap to note entry. That gives you the double stave. Drag the grey bar that separates the arranger area from the track editor upwards. This gives you more space on the stave.
Command click anywhere on the stave and a note will appear. Just move that note to wherever you want it and click to set it in place. You can always move it again by left clicking on the note and dragging it.
Accidentals will depend on the key you've set for the song and what notes you're entering. In D for instance you won't get an accidental for F sharp but you will get one for A flat.
Let us know how you get on.
If this still doesn't give you what you need then I suggest a dedicated notation package. Create a midi file from the package and import into GB for final tweaking.
Cheers
Dick

Speeding up the editing process on slower computer with noobie editor

Hi, All!
I seem to spend a lot of time sitting and waiting, and would like to know if anyone has ideas for speeding up the editing process without spending thousands on a new computer.
Marking "ins and outs" in the viewer before putting into the sequence/timeline sounds like the first one, to save rendering all of the captured material..... Is this what "real" video editors do? Is it recommended to make subclips, or just to drag into the timeline and then mark new in and out?
Any other work habits that might help an inexperienced editor-person work faster?
I've heard that it's possible to "edit in low resolution and output in high resolution". Is this possible? What might be involved? I have tried lowering the render % settings, but there seems to be no way to go back and re-render the edited sequence.
Can I edit in DV and output in HDV? By re-capturing? Is that what "Capture Project" is for? Given that DV and HDV are not just the same thing with a different number of pixels, will the edits be at the same frame (etc)? At what point in the editing would I want to do a "low res to hi res" conversion?
Is there a piece of hardware that could make my editing faster on this machine? Video card with more memory, for instance?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you!!
CD

You should not have to render your captured material. If the capture settings match the sequence settings (conform this by checking item properties for both) then no rendering is necessary except for effects and filters.
Offline editing (editing in low res and capturing in full res) is not a function available in FCE.

PE7 Edit functions Not Working well after Upgrading from Vista to Windows 7

My PE 7 was working very well under Vista Home Premium - 64 Bit. But after I upgraded (not clean install) to Windows 7 Home Premium - 64 Bit, it appears that the PE7 is working OK except for the EDIT functions.
I am talking about the Tool Icons on the left side. When I select any icon, the Mouse Curser does NOT chnage to reflect the proper shape. For example, when I click the Crop Tool, my mouse curser chnages to 3 little (tiny) crop icons in a row, and the crop functions don't work like they should.
Can anyone please help as to waht I need to do to correct this situation.
Thank you.

How do I get back my edit functions, copy and paste, without doing a restore?

When I switched to Firefox 4 I no longer have the file, edit, etc. functions anywhere. I can't or don't know how to copy and paste websites to emails for instance without the edit functions.

I have checked the toolbar buttons and have MENU ticked, I went to the customize toolbar thing and added (by drag and drop) the cut copy and paste and other buttons I cant find now, and they showed up at first, then they disappeared. The top section seems terribly narrow now and I cant find any way to add the buttons underneath where they used to be...help!

The edit button disappears when I have the link window open, so how do I copy and paste address for email link?

When I want to create a link to a web page in an email, I click the "link" icon and a window appears asking for the address. But simultaneously, the "edit" function and all other functions disappear from the Firefox toolbar. With no edit, how can I copy and paste the address? I have tried highlighting the address and dragging it into the window, but it won't drop into the window.
I have resorted to copying the address to a document and then pasting it into the link window, but there must be a less cumbersome way.

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden.<br />
You can make the Menu bar visible via View > Toolbars, also accessible via Firefox > Options.<br />
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />

I am trying to edit my Google Place page but the edit site is flashing and won't take any information...Bing business page as well...works fine on IE. IT guy says that I should uninstall firefox and then reinstall???

When I click on edit for Google places (or BING business site) the site flashes...strange numbers appear the map flashes on and off and finally gets timed out where the message is "Slow down, you are working too fast for Google"
The edit function works fine in IE but, of course, my preference is FIREFOX...IT guy says uninstall Firefox and reinstall???

Someone recently noted a problem staying logged on the Huffington Post since it became connected with AOL. The workaround for that is to change your connection setting here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network
Click the "Settings" button and choose either "No Proxy" or "Use System Settings" option, and OK the change.
Not sure whether Washington Post could be affected by that same setting.
In reviewing your extensions, I'm puzzled that you have both DoNotTrackMe and SavvyConnect. The first one seems to aggressively block certain communications with websites (potentially affecting functionality) while the second one seems to report on your browsing habits (they better pay well is all I can say). Have you tried disabling both of those to see whether that has any effect?

Get the color of a pixel on the Stage

Is there a way to retrieve the color of a generic pixel on the screen using the mouse pointer inside the Stage of Flash Player? With the getPixel method of the BitmapData class you can get the color of a pixel only if the mouse is over a bitmap image, but what if I need the color a generic pixel on the screen?

this takes a snapshot of the pixel below the mouse:
function eventHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
     var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(1, 1, false, 0x000000);
     var matrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
     matrix.translate(event.stageX, event.stageY);
     //can never remember which way translate works so it could be:
     //matrix.translate(-event.stageX, -event.stageY);
     bmd.draw(stage, matrix);
     var pixelColour:uint = bmd.getPixel(0, 0);

there on both channels and it allows the user to edit (duh) the targets
of the netlet and bookmarks.

I had to edit the polivy for the role to remove these. Go figure. I

Edit function in instant client ?

Hello,
I've installed the Instant Client on my Fedora Core 3 pc,
but I can't seem to get the edit function to work with an external editor, or load files i created using vi. Where do I put my files, or what config file do I have to change to be able to use the edit function?
PS: I'm connecting to an oracle server located at my school

Apparently I hit the tiny tabs in the top left that collapse/expand all the options.
Have all the functions back now. But, where do you explain that stuff ??

The editing "Guided" mode of Photoshop Elements 11 not works!

Using the editing "Guided" mode of Photoshop Elements 11 the working progress line hangs at 75% and Guided mode not works ! The "Quick" and "Expert" mode, instead, working well.
Attention, please! I specify that I use Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 and I don't have AntiVirus or Firewall actived... I have already tried to delete all Preferences, all Elements 11 cache folders, etc., tried to uninstall and re-install the Software... but without success. I hope that you can help me.

About the editing Guided mode of Photoshop Elements not working.
My FINAL solution to the problem. (But I hope also for an Adobe intelligent patch...)
I finally understand why the the "Welcome screen..." and the IMPORTANT editing "Guided" did not work in Photoshop Elements 11 (or with Photoshop Elements 10); the "Guided" panel does not appear with the options but, on the right, the progress bar hangs at 75% of the options panel and the panel remains empty.
After days of hard work and after many attempts on the Adobe Troubleshooting, I realized that the problem depends by Mac OS X anti-malware functions (XProtect process). But I have not figured out why the issue did not showed running PSE into a new account; maybe, it is because Mac OS X still not intercepted always and blocked the old Flash Player plug-in, installed by PSE11. Examining System Preferences and Security Panel -> Advanced, you see the option that enables automatic control by Mac OS X for the Malware black-list.
As may be seen in the attached screeshot, if you open with XCode or with a text editor the file "/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/ Contents/Resources/XProtect.meta.plist" you can read that Mac OS X (from 10.6 Snow Leopard) inserted the old versions of Flash Player plug-in (minor of "11.3.300.271") into the black list plug-ins, to block they.
I do not understand why Adobe has left this obsolete "Flash Player.bundled" plug-in in Photoshop Elements 11 or 10! PSE11, in fact, does not use the "Flash Player.bundle" plug-in but it uses "AdobeSWFL.bundle", contained into "System_Disk/Library/Application Support/Adobe/APE/3.101/adbeapecore.framework/Versions/A/Resources/". Does maybe Adobe ignores, perhaps, the existence of a BlackList in Mac OS X that blocks the Flash Player plug-in prior to version 11.3.300.271? ... Is that really useful to install this obsolete Plug-In (for Mac OS X 10.4 - 10.5) if PSE11 works from version 10.6 "Snow Leopard" onwards?
The Flash Player plug-in installed by PSE11 is the old version "10.1.82.73" as you can read in it info.plist file (or in my screenshot attached here) and I think that if you use Mac OS X Lion or Mountain Lion you can delete it because, as we read in his file "Info.plist", the plug-in is only for Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5 ...
An hypothesis about the occasional occur of issue about "Guided" mode or "Welcome screen" not working is that PSE11, at start-up, makes a "program's call" to the old "Flash Player" plug-in installed by PSE11 and PSE10 and the system, peraphs, intercept this call through "xprotect" process that runs in the background; so, Mac OS X blocks the function of PSE11 based on Flash Player as, indeed, the "Welcome screen" and the editing function "Guided".
Or the problem lies in a behavior of PSE at startup that it due to old ACL permissions existing into Home's folders (because belong the previous Mac OS X 10.5 - 10.6 version). PSE thinks of having to boot the old Flash Player plug-in containded in APE. This would explain why PSE runs well and "Guided "PSE mode works if start-up creating a new account!
Note! Utility Disc does not correct, by default, the ACL permission in Home!!! Adobe, then, rather than suggesting to create new accounts ... must correct PSE by removing any reference to the old Flash Player plug-in. Otherwise, there is always the risk that Mac OS X prevents proper operation.
I tried to rename it or remove this plug-in and PSE11 always work well, but for pedantry, I preferred this solution:
- I installed the latest version of Flash Player from the Adobe site.
- I opened the package to "/ Library / Internet \ Plug-Ins/Flash \ Player.plugin/Contents/PlugIns/FlashPlayer-10.6.plugin/Contents /"
- I copied the four objects (Folder MacOS and Resources folder and files: info.plist and version.plist)
and
glued them in "Adobe/APE/3.101/adbeapecore.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Flash Player.plugin / Contents /" overwriting existing ones.
I have one more doubt left: I have not yet enabled the iCloud option for the Photo Streaming and the iTunes Match sync; this functionalities was enabled in my old account when PSE did not working.. I hope that PSE11 will work well even when I will enable these features to sync with my Apple accounts...
