PS CS3: How to load all (Styles, Brushes, Custom Shapes, etc.)

Is there something I'm missing regarding the loading of Styles, Brushes, Gradients, whatever... - en masse?
In CS2 you could load all Styles at once, or brushes, or any other "Preset". Now in CS3, when I'm in (for example) the Styles palette and click on "Load Styles", a panel flies open to show that you are in fact looking into the directory where the Styles "live" - but there is nothing actually there to select.
Do I really have to click on one, load it, append it, repeat, repeat, repeat? I'd love to know that I'm missing something. But I've tried every means I can think of to load Presets in bulk, to no avail.
Thanks for any tips!

Yep, that was it. When you drive it to the proper directory, in the PS folder, then you can select them all and load them in one fell swoop.
Thanks so much for your time!
All the best, Kevin

  • Can anyone tell me how to load an image to custom shape in Photoshop? I can't save it as csh...

    I've made an image, as the watermark of our photos, but I can't load it to Custom Shape in PS CS4 as I can't save it as csh. Do you know how to upload an image type file that is not csh? Or how to convert the image to csh? Thanks.

    As Chris says, you can't make it into a custom shape unless you create it as a path. But you can save it as a Custom Brush (in monochrome).

    Hey Maccers!
    Have some fun exploring some of Chris Cox's early work.
    HERE
    are the original Chris's Filters, from 1995. I don't find them all useful, but I still use "Hairy Noise" and "Fractal Noise" all the time to generate organic textures. And "Checkers" comes in handy as well. I could locate a link to Chris's filters on some obscure FTP somewhere, but it's too much trouble, so I'm hosting the files on my Comcast space. He's given me written permission to redistribute the filters as long as everything included in the original folder from 1995 was intact.
    And I have to wonder...screen grabs I've seen of the new "Fibre" effect in Photoshop 8 looks a LOT like "Hairy Noise."

  • To dewangs. How to load all descriptions (lines) into a Vector?

    Thank You dewangs!
    I am confident that Your second advice to use Vector will solve my problem. But I have two more questions.
    Let say I have used BufferedReader(new FileReader(c:/java/MyText.txt)) to read from MyText.txt file. In this case, how to load all descriptions (lines) of this file into a Vector? And how to associate each line of MyText.txt as an element of the Vector?
    I am trying to do something, but no results.
    try{
    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("c:/java/Applications/MyText.txt"));
    String str=reader.readLine();
    JList myList = new JList();
    StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(str,"\n");
    Vector vr = new Vector(25);
    while(st.hasMoreTokens()){
    String nextToken = st.nextToken();
    vr.addElement(nextToken);
    myList.setListData(vr);
    TA1.setText(TA1.getText()+
    (String)myList.getSelectedValue());
    }catch(IOException evt) {};

    My suggestion is to create a new class that has a String (for your line of text) and an Image or ImageIcon for your picture. Store the instances of this class in the vector, and then add the appropriate part of the items in the vector to your list. Then you can just get the item in the vector corresponding the to index of the selected item in the list, cast it to your new class, and grab the String or the image as needed.

    ITunes worked fine on my Windows 7 machine.  Had to rebuild the machine but all the data remains.  Downloaded a new version of iTunes and cannot figure out how to load all of my music currently on my hard drive.  Tried moving "iTunes Library" file.  Did not work.  Never had trouble like this before.

    Many thanks for your post. I've been trying for days to get this sorted and was getting well fed up with I-Tunes. Really thought i'd never get it working again. Tried un-installing it, loading older versions and they still wouldn't work.
    Came across your suggestion by chance and top man - it worked..!!!!
    How you even knew what to do is beyond me - but thanks so much. I really was pulling my hair out.
    You need to put your post over the Web as there seem to be loads of people having the same trouble.
    Thanks again.

  • How to load an applet using custom classloader ?

    Hi All,
    How to load an applet using custom classloader rather than using default browsers classloader i.e AppletClassLoader usually ?
    Regards,
    Kumar.

    I would guess that that would require two applets.
    The first does nothing but create the custom class loader and then load the second applet.

  • Using "Filters" how can I activate Artistic, Brush Strokes, Texture, etc.

    Please help.  I am a novice at using PS. 
    I want to change some photos to give it a true impressionistic, watercolor, neon-like look.  When I scroll down the Filter menu, how do I activate "Artistic, Brush Strokes, Texture, etc."?  They are grey and inactive.
    Am I going about this in a wrong way?  Is there another tool I can use?  Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Are you saying there is no way to do it with a 16-bit image?  I would also like to use these effects on a certain image, particular the gun shown in this product.  I want to make it look a lot more attractive, but I too have not been able to utilize these important Photoshop effects.  There has to be a way to do this, there's always a way in the world of computers.

  • Indesign CS3 Crashes when loading text styles

    hi all, i need some help.
    Indesign cs3 keeps crashing when I try to "load all text styles" from one indesign file to another. the file has ten styles (character & paragraph). I'm currently working on windows 7.
    thankyou for any information you can provide.

    Are you patched to 5.0.4?
    Export both files to inx, re-open, Save As. (I checked, ID will not load styles from an inx)
    Load just one style at a time to isolate a conflict.
    Last resort, Highlight text from the source doc, paste into the new doc. I should carry in the style. It only needs to be a single charatcher.

  • PSE7, xp, how to load layer styles? no .db3 file found

    I have read all kinds of information about how to load custom layer styles and I've come to the conclusion that I need to install all styles into the folder where the other styles live (presets>styles) and I need an .xml file for each style to see the style in elements program and I need to delete the original .db3 file and let elements rebuild it when it opens but I cannot find an original .db3 file...anywhere.  Nor do I have any existing .xml files that coordinate with the original layer styles to manipulate for the new layer styles.  What am I missing?

    Hi,
    You would have to follow these steps -
    Hi,
    These steps would help you get them back.
    1 - Quit Elements
    2 - Go to the path - C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\6.0\Locale\en_US (for XP)
    { or Vista - C:\ ProgramData\ Adobe\ Photoshop Elements\ 6.0\ Locale\ en_US\ }
    (If you aren't in the US, use the appropriate Locale)
    Note that the "Application Data" is a hidden directory, so you will have to enable "Show hidden files and folders" in the Folder Options in order to be able to see it.
    3 - You should see a file named MediaDatabase.db3. Rename the file to something else, such as MediaDatabase.old
    4 - Restart the Elements Editor. You will see it rebuilding the database. Do not touch anything. It will take a while to rebuild. After thats done all things should be back to normal.
    Hope you're able to find the files and it works for you.

  • How to load all the classes in a JAR file at runtime?

    Any clues o:
    "How can I force JVM to load all the classes in a specified JAR at once?"
    Thanx!
    -Rajeev

    Well I was thinking may be there exists an option with "java", when I
    am starting an application from a jar file, I could force it to load all
    the classes in the JAR. I don't want to do it programically. Is there such
    an option available?? Or in other words can I ask JVM to not do the dynamic
    loading for the JAR??
    Thanx.
    List all JarEntries and convert the paths to fully
    qualified class files
    e.g file in jar
    [1] /com/mycompany/proj/X.class
    should become
    [2] com.mycompany.proj.X
    then for each entry issue
    Class.forName( [2] );

  • How to load R/3 Plant, Customer, Vendor, all linked in T001W

    Hi,
    In R/3 we have a Plant PL01. In the initial load of object DNL_PLANT this creates CRM BP #101 with role BBP003.
    In R/3 we have a Customer CPL01 (linked to Plant PL01 in R/3 customizing table T001W). In the initial load of object BUPA_MAIN this creates CRM BP #102 CRM000.
    In R/3 we have a Vendor VPL01 (linked to Plant PL01 in R/3 customizing table T001W). In the initial load of object VENDOR_MAIN this creates CRM BP #103 with role BBP000.
    Question 1: How can we create the R/3 Plant PL01 in CRM as BP #PL01 (i.e. using an external number range)?
    Question 2: How can we create the Plant, Customer & Vendor as a single CRM BP #?
    Points will be rewarded.
    Thanks,
    J

    Jim,
    The problem you face is that CRM is going to download those as three separate partners.
    Note 865321 gives a solution on how to load plants into CRM in an external range that you would specify.  This is however for DNL_PLANT.
    Your next issue is unless your plant as customer and your plant as a vendor are in separate account groups for each, you won't be able to map these into a single business partner in CRM, unless you do some manipulation.
    I guess what you could do on an initial load for those objects is the following:
    1.  If the customer or vendor is a plant:
    - Remanipulate the BDOC so that it becomes the single "plant business partner", on the ERP side.
    2.  For delta's you will need to also do this remanipulation.
    3.  If you plan on sending delta changes from CRM back to R/3 then on the CRM side you will need to decide how to distribute the changes from the single business partner back to the customer and vendor partners.
    This is definitely possible, but it is going to take some effort and you will need a very seasoned middleware developer to make it happen.  I am guessing a couple of weeks for a experienced middleware guru to complete this.
    Good luck,
    Stephen

  • JPA - How to load all data in memory

    Is it possible to load all data in memory using JPA, do many transactions like create, delete, update and finally make a commit when I want?.
    I am trying to do something like Weblogic does, the user locks the console, does many transactions (create services, delete accounts, update costumers etc) and at the end when he presses a button, all changes are committed.

    Yes. Of course. There are tradeoffs. First, if you loaded all data into memory, you likely have a small database or a huge amount of RAM. :^)
    Big I digress. What you are talking about is either conversational or transactional state. The former would be implemented at your view-controller level (e.g., hold onto the results of the user's selections until the work is done, and then submit as a batch). Sometimes this is simply session state, but generally, you are handling this at the web or controller tier. It is solely a decision to enhance user experience.
    Another possibility is to hold onto the transaction for the whole time that the user is modifying data. This is in some ways "easier" than the first method. However, it likely will not scale beyond a non-trivial amount of users. Generally, you want to hold onto a transaction for the shortest possible time.
    So, my recommendation would be to load your objects into memory using JPA. Keep those in session state (or write them to a 'working copy' database table or the filesystem to save memory). Then submit all the requests in one go back to JPA (in one transaction).

  • I just got a new Mac but I don't know how to transfer all the music, apps, videos, etc from my iPod and old computer to my new Mac.

    I just got a new macbook air and I am trying to figure out how to get all of the music, videos, pictures, apps, etc. that I have on my ipod touch and on my old computer onto my mac. I don't want to lose anything. I just want to figure out how to sync my ipod to my new mac without losing any data.

    copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
    you can use an external HD or your network for this operation. everything will be as you were used to from the old machine.

  • How can I disable the "create custom shape" window?

    When I'm using the custom shape tool in CS6, it will often bring up a new window labeled "create custom shape". It's really disruptive and I'd like to know how I can disable it to prevent it from poping up.

    OK I can now get the dialog window to pop up with a single click in a document with my mouse or intuos tablet.   I had never seen that popup. Under normal conditions with the mouse I use and my old Intuos 2 now replaced with an Intuos 5 with default sensitivity setting I never saw that popup.  Now that I know it exists and how to get it I can pop it up.  Try changing your Wacom feel perhaps your getting extra single clicks.
