Problems with Pro Tools 8, is it the software?

Hello, I know this is "Apple Discussions", but since I'm using Pro tools 8 with the new macbook pro, I might get some answers here. I recently bought pro tools 8, I already have logic though, but wanted to be in the pro tools world too so, the thing is that every time I use Pro Tools 8 with the digi 003, the session Im working on will stop with just a few plugins, and man this happens a lot, on the other hand is that nothing happens when I use the digi 003 with Logic 8, I mean, I could have like 20 plugins and It would not stop at all. Can anyone identify with this problem with pro tools 8, Because people tell me that on pro tools 7.4 that doesnt happen at all.
Thank you...

PT8 is much better with plug ins than PT7x, but is not in the league of Logic. I am a huge PT fan and use both Logic and PT8, and as much as I love the look and superior interface of PT8, Logic is like an ugly old car that goes 200 MPH. It's a performance beast. I've had ridiculous amounts of plug ins in Logic with not a whimper from the program.
PT8 is much more sensitive to things like whether you are using Firewire drives to record to (as opposed to internal SATAs on a Mac Pro), and many 3rd party plugs cause PT much grief. For high track counts and lots of plug ins, Logic is still King Kong.

Problem with jpg & text box links???? HELP!!!!!!!

Hi All,
I have a perplexing problem with creating some links. I created a button using the shapes tools, I use the command/shift/4 to capture the image I created, I go to photoshop, edit it, then save it as a jpeg, put it into my site, make it a link, publish the site .... then nothing. The link won't work. Any other jpeg image i put in easily converts to a link if I desire, why won't this?
Also, I have read on here that you can use a transparent text box over text to create a link without having to convert the actual text and get the annoying underline, etc. that come with it. Any idea how to do this?
Appreciate your help.

The process that you describe should work exactly like that. I'm not sure what the issue is with those buttons. Do you have a URL where we can take a look at one of these buttons? It may be that they are getting obscured by something else maybe?
Also, I have read on here that you can use a transparent text box over text to create a link without having to convert the actual text and get the annoying underline, etc. that come with it. Any idea how to do this?
This is true. You can always overlay a SHAPE and change its opacity in the Inspector Graphics tab to 1% in order to make it transparent. It has to be 1% or more, though...zero doesn't work. Also, if the text that you want hyperlinked or hotspotted is in a textbox all by itself, then you can also attach the hyperlink to the textbox itself instead of selecting the text in the textbox. That will also avoid the underline....but it works only if the text is in a textbox all by itself.

Photoshop CS5 - Image resize problem with move tool

Hi People
Here's my problem
When I try to resize an layer using the move tool (as opposed to the Free Transform tool), while I'm in the process of moving the scaling handles, the bounding box reflects my movement but the layer preview stays at it's original size. When I stop moving the handles there is a few seconds delay and then the new scale size shows up. If I try to move the handles again, without commiting to the transform, the layer preview reverts back to it's original size until I've finished moving the handles.
I didn't have this problem with CS4 and I've only recently upgraded. I work around this problem by using the proper Free Transform tool (ctrl+t) but it would be nice to know why the hell this happens. It seems to me to be more of a graphical glitch than a software preference but I thought I'd check just-in-case.

I also read you you tried updating your video dirvers and your syste crashed and you had to roll back. Make sure you have downloaded the latest correct drivers. If that does not work try turning off Open GL in photoshops preferences.
On my old XP 32 bit system CS5 movet tool with transform dialog does not fail like on your system. I can move the handles time and time again without commiting the transform. The only way to have Photoshop revert the transform back to the original state is to press the ESC key to cancel the uncommitted transform.

Problem with Eraser tool in PSE7

I have the PSE7 (using in Windows Vista) and have been using it for scrapbooking since early May09. I've had no real problems with it up until yesterday when my eraser tool stopped working. The magic eraser will still work, but the regular eraser will no longer erase. I've tried going out of the program and coming back in with no difference. I've tried rebooting the computer hoping it would reset but no difference. Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it? I would greatly appreciate any help as I "can't live without my eraser tool"! ;0)

If you have a tablet, the mouse and pen can not both be on (or touching) the tablet at the same time.
If you don't have a tablet or the above isn't causing the issue, the next thing to do is reset the eraser tool. With the eraser selected, click the eraser icon in the options bar...not the tool box...and select "reset tool" from the context menu.
Item "A" in the diagram of the options bar in this help index page is the tool icon which houses the reset tool(s) context menu.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PhotoshopElements/7.0_Win/WSae2ea3b149d0c3591ae939f103860b3d59 -7e27.html
If the above does not fix the problem, the next step is to reset the application preference files.
To reset all of your Photoshop preferences, hold down the
Control+Alt+Shift (Windows), Command+Option+Shift (Mac) keys as you launch the application.
EDIT: You have to press those three keys immediately after you launch the editor portion of the application to get the delete user settings dialog to come up. If you don't get a dialog, you did not press those three keys fast enough.

Problem with Pen Tool CS5

Hi,
I just got Photoshop CS5 and I'm having a bit of trouble with the pen tool - namely, I can't see the path I'm creating. In CS3 I could clearly see the line between two points but in the new program the line is nearly invisible making it very difficult to create the path. Is this a setting I can fix?
thanks

I was having 32 bit while I upgraded from CS3 to CS4. The only problem with CS4 that time was with pen tool.Though I cannot precisely recall , I can say it t was very lazy and very frustrating and this was resolved totally after shifting to 64 bit.--If urs existing system is 32 bit try with 64 bit

Problem with move tool? (Win 7)

On Photoshop CS4 , everytime I select the move tool and decide to move an object among a layer , it moves the object off screen , making it difficult to bring it back to the canvas to move . I know it isn't jumping layers , because only the object inside of one layer i moved , but ... am I the only one that has this problem ? How do I fix it ?
It doesn't only have this problem with the move tool , but with the text tool , marquee tools , and the brush tool , as well . The text tool would jump off screen , the marquee tool would position the marquee somewhere other than where I clicked it to be , and the brush tool would sometimes jump out of the brush outline . Can someone help ?

Standard questions:
Have you updated to version 11.0.1?
Have you updated your video drivers?
Is you video card compatible? See http://www.adobe.com/go/kb405711
Have you tried turning off OpenGL in preferences?
If the answer to all is yes, try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.

You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

Problem with width tool in illustrator cc

hello!
i used to use illustrator cs5 and had no problems with the width tool. now that i am using adobe CC, the width tool functions very oddly and the cursor points are bizarre. for example, i use to just hover over the exact width point and could easily access handlebars or move it. however, in CC, i have to hover a little further away in order to get the ~ symbol to show. PLEASE HELP. this is driving me bonkers and the rate at which i'm working is quite delayed. THANK YOU!!!

Without proper system info and other details nobody can tell you anything.

Problem with lasso tool in PSE10!!

Will start using lasso tool and then the picture will flicker and the lassoo tool will not function to continue with the selection. Has worked ok in the past but not now. Have tried reset tool but did"t work out problem. Why the flicker of the picture as this throughs the alignment of the lassoo off and you cannot continue with the outline. Very frustrating!!

99jon sorry to report that I went into my lassoo tool this morning and I am still having a problem with it. I tried hitting the info on the picture until not responding appears on upper left of windows and went ahead and began my selection with the tool and bam the screen flickered and ruined the alignment of the lassoo and rendered it non functional. would it be better if I tried a re-inastll of pse 10? The above technique did work late yesterday,but not now. Thanks!!

Problem with Marquee Tool

I'm having a problem in Photoshop 7.0 where I can't see the borders of the selected area while dragging the cursor. Once I release the mouse button I can see the borders OK, but not while dragging. This makes precision selections difficult. It seem to happen with any tool used to select an area i.e. marquee, lasso, pen, etc. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Perry

Problems with Proofing Tools 15.0.4420.1017

Hi,
I`m having problem with installation of Proofing tools 2013 version 15.0.4420.1017, thing is when I install it on Windows 8 x64 OS where Office 2013 presents I cannot identify that version 15.0.4420.1017 of proofing tools has been installed.
I did also SCCM 2012 deployment to my machine and it failed because of detection method where it is not creating uninstall registries but if I remove one which is already installed by Office 2013 then it installs successfully. Can you please suggest the way
how to check more if version 15.0.4420.1017 of proofing tools has been installed when old version presents as well as I`m not sure actually how to test it. Hope that question make sense.

Hi,
Thanks for your post. If I have understood you correctly, after installing the latest Microsoft Office Proofing Tools 2013, you are not able to tell whether or not it was properly installed on your computer.
I have tested it on my machine. I have Microsoft Office Proofing Tools 2013 - Chinese (Simplified) 15.0.4569.1506
installed on my machine before. And then, I downloaded and installed the latest 15.0.4420.1017 version. Both versions appear in my software list in Control Panel, see:
Please check in Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features and see if you have both versions there. If the new version of Proofing tools doesn't show in Control Panel, try reboot your system and check again.
If I have misunderstood anything, please feel free to post back.
Thanks,

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

Secure printing problems with the dialog box

Hi!
Some one which has problem with the scure dialog box then using secure printing?
then we print in Adobe acrobat reader X 10.0.1 the dialog box for entring your pin nummer appearing under acrobat, causeing the program to locking until you go to the dialog box and clicking on it and enter the pin. The problem is that adobe not showing the dialog box in front of the printing overall dialog.
had nog problem with the old 9, it started then we uppgraded. Haw tride a nother driver but haw same issue. And all other programs works greate, word, notepat etc so it is just Adobe that has the problem.. ?
/J

Hi!
Its´s XP sp3 and the printer is a network printer(Toshiba e-studio 4520c) running a PCL6 driver.
Screen capture is not so much to see i think, running Swedish interface to. The ordinary dialogbox för printing is the first thing thats pops up, and then adobe reader frezes because the secund box pops up under adobe, you can click on it in the "toolbar" to continue. One thing that is diffrent when you print in adobe is that you can se on the "toolbar" for the popup box for the pin/password box is a Adobe icon on it. It is not so in example when printing in word, ie8 etc.
The problem is that many users dont see it and thinks the program has stopt working.
Im now going to try the PS driver from toshibas homepage..
thanks for help!
