Problem with hard edge gradients

Hi all,
Something strange is going on. When i use a smooth brush...drawing a circle or whatever i get these hard edges that shouldn´t be there.
See this image.....
http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=404727
The interesting part is when i save it as a jpeg or something else it looks great and perfect. smooth as it should be!
What is the problem?
I´ve played with a lot of performance settings including updating my Geforce GT 740M
Please help!

See if its any better if you create that editing in 16bit color and you turn off your GPU in Photoshop Preferences performance and view zoomed to actual pixels..

Snow Leopard is a Mac OS X version. You say that it's the version you have in your Mac (10.6.8). Do a back up of your files, format the hard drive (using Disk Utility) and reinstall again

Hi,
If this message is coming up in a black screen.
Then the harddrive in the system is about to go bad or already bad.
If you are able to boot to windows, FIRST BACKUP DATA.
Also run a startup test by tapping F2 as soon as you power on the system.
The smart test is a BIOS feature in most of the computer which is designed to keep cust informed if the HDD is about to go bad. But their are instances where the SMART will only let you know that the HDD is bad only when the HDD has bad.

Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

I'm having problem with hard disk problem. I recently purchased HP pavilion G series notebook.

There is error displaying that there is a problem with hard disk please back up your data and contact manfature. I purchased these recently in 2011 december in india. Please help me what to do.

The error usually means what it says. Back up your data to a thumb drive or something before it crashes and call HP Support for a hard drive replacement.

FYI: MS-7125 BIOS has problem with Hard Drives withNative Command Queuing (NCQ)

For those the have messed my two treads on which both ended up being cause by K8N Neo4 BIOS problem with HD's with NCQ.
Will wonders never cease? MSI Support finally conceded the BIOS has a problem with Hard Drives with NCQ and they have forwarded the problem to their programming department.
However, do not look for any results for above two weeks.

The problem that this thread has been trying to follow is the incapability of the nVidia RAID Controller with Serial ATA Type 2.5 drives. I know the threads has been hard to follow and part of that is because when I started the thread I had what appeared to be three totally un related problems, but all three were traced down the common problem of the incapability of RAID Controller with Serial ATA Type 2.5 drives.
The title of this thread is MS-7125 BIOS has problem with Hard Drives with Native Command Queuing(NCQ). The statement was true at the time it was written and has nothing to do with memory problems.
Sense the thread was started MSI has fixed the BIOS part of the problem, but we have sense learned the nVidia RAID Controller Command software and its driver has problems too. I have been working MSI Support, they have been using me to test pre-beta BIOS and Drivers soon. Of the testing I have done the pre-beta BIOS worked and the Pre-beta 32-bit driver works. I am assuming that the latest BIOS V1.B had as part of it included fixes was the needed fixes for working with the nVidia RAID Controller as I have test the pre-beta RAID Driver with BIOS Version V1.B as the Raid array function fine windows XP Pro 32-bit Edition. As I have had no communications with MSI support of over a week now I am hoping for a release of 32-bit and 64-bit RAID Drivers. But, nobody should get the hopes up, because through other backdoor sources nVidia is having a hell of a time. One reason for this I heard is that the nVidia RAID Controller is fully software, no hardware other than the electrical drive interfaces. Their problem started when they tried using the old 32-bit code Controller with new 64-bit hardware drivers and now they are having to totally rewrite the controller core in 64-bit code. But, knowing my source, it may all be fiction.
The RAID Array you say is up and running, are the drives full specification SATA 2.5 in other words do the both have 3Gb/s speed and NCQ. If you send me the full part numbers I will check the specifications a get back to you. Because if you have nVidia RAID 0 Array you working you will be the first to have done it and there about 230 people around the world that would like to know how you did it, even MSI, who's pre-beta nVidia RAID Drivers that will work with BIOS V1.B for 32-bit Windows only and nothing for Windows XP 64, would like to know.

Problem with print output - gradient fade blocking

Hi, I am new to InDesign, working on first brochure using CS4.
Problem occurs with 2 photos and a fade - one photo on left, one photo on right, blank white space in between, I've laid a box over the edge of each pic (jpgs) and used a fade so the photos fade into the white, rather than having a flat straight line.
Problem is when I print a proof (PDF export, which is perfect on-screen) some of the boxes appear perfect, but some print as a solid box!
First time I exported as very lo-res, so re-tried at much higher resolution - this fixed the first page, but others still have the problem.
Tried it even higher res, but still some pages are perfect, and some are not. It seems to be very random.
I'm also getting this blocking problem with a drop shadow I've placed on basic white text - in the main area of page, and in the footnote.
Weird thing is that on several pages one box will be perfect, but 2 drop shadows won't be, but another drop shadow is fine!
I'm printing out a colour proof on a large format solvent-ink (Roland SolJet) printer, (which obviously isn't necessarily compatible, but it's the only colour printer we have with which to proof the brochure).
I'm hoping that it is simply an issue between the printer software (Roland Colour-Rip) and the file - is this likely?
Any help/advice is very much appreciated!

Thanks Peter, I have tried this effect, but it appears very blocky, and leaves a noticeable hardline between the edge of the white space and the edge of the photo.
I've stuck with the overlaying box with gradient because it seems to be the only way to have a very smooth fade-out, with no hard edge.

Boot message: problem with hard drive detected. Slow loading of windows 7

Good Day
I am having a problem with my hard drive, everytime it boots these days it starts with a message: Warning: a problem with the hard drive has been detected, followed by an extremely slow loading of windows. then once in windows it gives me Anothet message
the messsage says hard drive failure imminent you should back up you data etc.
My specs are:
Intel core 2 duo e8400 3.0 ghz
4 gig ddr3 transcend
1 tb seagate 7200.12
giga byte nvidia 9800 gt 1 gig ddr3
Please help lots of data.

Another option:
Take your hard drive out and slave it into another KNOWN WORKING PC.
Back-up your data immediately. Slow boot usually indicates that the drive is going to die. (Check your warranty!)
Then, run "chkdsk /r" from the host PC to check the failing drive. (It is good to match OSes if you can.)

Problems with refine edge in CS5-no longer working properly?!

Hi all, just wondered if anyone has experienced this bizarre problem and if so how they went about fixing it or changin the settings! (i may have done something to photoshop for it not to work properly!!!)
Basically, i have got CS5 and was very excited to find the refine edge tool.... made cutting out people real easy and loved it.... however, for some reason the refine edge is not working anymore. Everytime i try to refine the edge using the refine edge tool it isnt selecting any fine details of the cut. It seems to be erasing the image with a low opacity making the selection very blurred?!
Hopefully you can see from the very quickly put together example that the refine edge tool is taking pixels out if her nose, chin, jumper neck and jumper! Any one know how to prevent this from happening?
Thanks! Matt

I am having the same problem with the refine edge tool. It seems to work the exact opposite of what I was expecting.
The above two images are before and after using the tool to refine the edge. As you can see from the picture without the mask view, the selection actually got smaller after I tried to add to it. When I use the other tool to erase an edge, as soon as I release the mouse button, the portion I tried to remove reappears as it was before. This has never worked properly for me. Also, I have tried outputting in several different ways.
As for the questions posed: The app and OS are up to date. I am the only user on my computer, so I'm not sure what using another user would accomplish. I will mention that I'm using Windows 7, not Mac. I'm really hoping there is a setting I have wrong somewhere.

Nokia 6210 Problems with using Edge (Internet Conn...

I have a Nokia 6210 phone bought from an authorized Nokia Care Center in Delhi, India two weeks ago. The software version on the phone is 3.08 dated 11-June 2008. It also mentions custom version as 03.08.c00.01
I am an Airtel Prepaid customer in New Delhi, India and had been using Mobile Office service on my prepaid number for some time. It worked perfectly fine for my Nokia 6233. On my current Nokia 6210 the Internet connection works fine for the first time through the built in browser or though any other application (like Google Maps, Gmail etc) which required internet and displays the sign signifying that the edge connection is active.
The problem is that once I close the application the standby sign for Edge network is displayed as follows and no matter what I am unable to use the internet connection on the phone again until I do the following
Restart the phone (which definitely isn’t a good option)
Wait for around 8-10 minutes after which the Edge on hold sign disappears and is replaced by which means that the edge is available
I found this out accidentally, but if I press the keys *123# which I typically use for enquiring balance, the on hold sign goes away and is replaced by the Edge available sign. after which things work fine.
Not sure where the problem is. I really doubt it’s got to do something with Airtel as the same number worked perfectly fine with my previous Nokia phone in the same area. In addition my wife’s phone (again an Airtel prepaid number) is working great in the same area. So either this has got to do something with the handset or the compatibility of the handset with the Airtel, New Delhi.
I have tried various sets of setting from the following sources
The wizard in built in the handset
Getting the settings from the Nokia site
Getttng the settings from Airtel Customer Care
But with all of them I am facing the same set of problems.
Wanted to check if anybody out you have ever faced a similar problem with this phone or one in a simlar series?

I suggest that you don't make permanent coupling between devices. Looks like Nokia modem is more responsive when you need to manually accept every connection at the phone's end.

Thunderbolt port problems with Hard drive

Hello guys, since I updated to Yosemite 10.10.2 I have a problem with port thunderbolt, to which I have connected a hard disk. When I turn off the hard disk with its button after pressing "eject", the hard disk turns off but also restarts the MAC. I tried to connect it to the USB3 and it works ok. This problem I had never experienced with the previous operating system. Some of you can help me? Thank you very much!!!! ;-)

I had problems with my hard drive and was able to replace it myself. I am not technical at all but was still able to do it. Go on line and you will find some sites on how to do this they are very good. It did not take long and I am using the Powerbook to respond to your thread. Good luck.

Zen Micro - problem with hard d

I have a problem with my zen micro. It does not boot up - I have tried reformatting the disk, but no success. One of the technicians I showed it to sugegsted that the hard disk has gone bad and I need to replace it. Any idea of where I can procure one from? Does creative sell it online?

Same problem here. After about 5 months of dutiful use, the hard dri've failed.
It's a paperweight now and I decided quickly and easily that the money it would take to replace the hard dri've was better spent on a flash-based player. Seeing as my original MuVo is still trucking, I'd say that flash-based players are a better choice if your storage needs are small (< 4GB being small these days).

Problem with Hard Disk after getting a replacement for a RAM Problem

Ok, so I bought a 17" Macbook pro about a week ago from Apple, then last night it crashed during some relatively processor intensive work and wouldn't boot again. I took it in to the apple store today, they ran diagnositics and it turned out it was a RAM issue, so, very kindly, they gave me a whole new machine with new RAM.
I didn't have time to wait in store for them to transfer my data, so the genius offered to give me the hard disk from my old machine so i could take it away and do the transfer myself (because i live in a different city) using a USB Hard Disk Caddy. I took him up on the offer, and bought the whole lot home with me.
I've just put the drive in an appropriate hard disk caddy and attached it to my machine, but I'm getting an error "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer".
Allegedly the genius chap had already started the transfer when i asked him to leave it for me to do, so i guess he mustn't have had any problems with accessing it, but there's no trace on the new machine that he had been doing anything.
I guess my question is
A) is the disk screwed
and
B) Did it happen from the initial problem, in the apple store or is it another issue?

This could be caused by a number of different reasons. Is it possible for you to call up Apple and speak with the person whom was helping you?

Problems with Sapphire Edge Presets

Hi,
I'm curious if anyone else has similar problems with GenArts Sapphire Edge. Sometimes when I add a loaded preset effect like FilmDamage (in this case, "Slot Spin" to a clip, when I shut down FCPX and restart it, the loaded preset reverts back to a preset I had been previously experimenting with and decided I didn't like. This malfunction results in losing HOURS of keyframing clips. I tried to reload the "Slot Spin" preset again, and all my keyframe markers disappeared. I have emailed GenArts about some of the problems with their plugin for FCP, and they blame Apple. It appears this might become a repeat of the cases of the Adobe/Apple runaround debacle.
Anyone experiencing similar problems? Any workarounds?

UPDATE: The same problem happened again today. I called GenArts Customer Support, and they said that essentially FCP X v10.0.4 is a terrible update and there are many many bugs. He said the software is "broken." I've heard from other people at work that 10.0.4 is causing many problems for those using Compound Clips.
The problem is that I NEED to use Compound Clips with the way I've built my workflow, and I'm using them they way they're supposed to be used, but they don't work correctly.
Oh, Apple. What have you become? You kill me. I want to love this product. It makes editing fun again. Once I wrapped my head around the concepts you present in FCPX, a big bright lightbulb went on in my head. But then these kinds of problems arise and evaporate the puddle of of trust (it used to be a lake) you've rained down on me. Please, please get it together. Work with your vendors, and help them help make your product better, or else you will lose me and many many others.
I want my 9 hours of lost work back. (And the autosave feature.)
