PS CS4: Straight, hard lines instead of soft curves, history problems?

Hi,
sometimes Photoshop (Intuos 4, AMD Phenom2 X6 [email protected]) draws a hard line at full pressure instead of a soft, dynamic curve. It simply connects the starting and ending point. Painting ia 20000x14000@16GB Ram with PS using 12GB, painting size 6GB.
I also experienced when going back history states with ctrl-alt-z the tool automatically switches to zoom, and sometimes history just jumps back to the latest state.
Could this be a history lag? Any chance to fix this?
Thanks!

Before upgrading my machine and OS from Win7 to Win8 I had a similar problem, which was that the same thing happened, but there was part of that straight line missing. So there was a dot, break, and then the straight line. In between lies a new OS plus new hardware.
So you suspect it's a Wacom bug?

Set up book in hard cover instead of soft cover.

I just finished creating two photo books, one with 100 pages and the other with 90. I proceeded to order when I was asked to choose the color of the cover. It was then I noticed that I was ordering a hard cover book which I don't want. At this point, there was no way to indicate I wanted soft cover. Is there any way I can duplicate my efforts into a soft cover edition? Or, is it as I fear, that I had to choose soft cover BEFORE I began preparing the book?

Judy:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I think you can. Select the soft cover book in the Source pane and type Command-D. That will give you a duplicate copy to try switching from soft to hard cover, same theme. Even though it warns you that text may be lost I've switched themes before without losing text. Worth a try.

Change the AngledLine class to store two points instead of 3 points (I would rename the class to be StraightLine). The code is much simpler because you just store the starting and ending points and you don't need to calculate the middle point.

When using the "Fill & Sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to size the text box, for a specific area on the page...instead of it going on in one straight long line...?

When using the "Fill & Sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to size the text box on a specific area of the page...instead of the text box going on in one straight long line....? I'm not seeing there's an option or ability to do so, just wanting to confirm.

Improving the handling of multiple line text fields is in our plans, but for now, you will have to add manual carriage returns (Enter).
Thanks,

I started downloading Mountain Lion about 30 mins ago and I see no progress. I'm downloading it through my wifi. Is this normal? Should I go to a hard line in instead? Thanks......

You're not using the fast tracks midi out you are using the analog/digital audio.
But go to garageband preferences > Audio Midi and I'm guessing you have the wrong output set. Choose the output that you are using, I'm going to guess built in.
And make sure the fast track is set for audio input.

Photoshop CS3 is not working with my Intuos suddenly!!! Pen goes in crazy lines instead of behaving?!

I am so frustrated tonight. My BRAND NEW Wacom Intuos tablet worked fine the last time I tried it, a couple months ago. I am running a Mac OSX with Parallels and Windows 7, which I run Photoshop CS3 on. It was doing fine but now suddenly I try it tonight and it goes crazy when I'm trying to paint with the brush--sensitivity is gone, it's just a thick line; more importantly, it won't behave!! The pen keeps spazzing and doing these retarded straight lines instead of going where I want it to go!!! It works perfectly fine outside of Photoshop, both on the Windows AND Mac side, so obviously this is a Photoshop problem. I've installed the latest Wacom Intuos driver for Win7 and it won't work. I've tried having Photoshop open first and then plugging in the tablet and I've tried plugging in the tablet first and then opening Photoshop. still no good.
Does anyone have any suggestions??

You installed the latest driver from here?
Drivers | Wacom
Also, resetting the photoshop cs3 preferences could help.
Press and hold the Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Shift+Cmd+Option) keys just after starting the launch of photoshop cs3.
Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop settings file
Press Yes because you do.

Straight lines are displayed as curved in Oracle Mapviewer

Hi,
we're using Oracle Mapviewer to display land area singlepart polygons (3003) from Oracle Spatial table called sdo_kol. The table has an attribute of mdsys.sdo_geometry. I'm pretty sure that data is loaded correctly using shp2sde tool from arcSde tool pallete. The thing is, when displaying the area's using ArcMap 8.3 we get the polygon shape on the screen. But when we look at the same thing through the Map Viewer the polygon lines look like zig-zag lines instead of straight lines.
Anyone has an idea why?
Cheers.

I have tried the fast_unpickle option. I've set the fast_unpickle to false in user_sdo_maps (we're using predefined themes), or even issuing a manual xml api request with fast_unpickle = "false". I still get zigzag lines.
This has to be a bug in 9.0.4 version of map viewer. Our geometries are of type 3003 and 3007 and one polygon has a lot of vertices, so that might be a rounding problem. We'll try the same thing on 10.1.2.0.2 and see what happens.
Many thanks for your help, you have been very kind.

Since I updated Firefox with the current version 10.0, my browser now scrolls 3 lines instead of 1 with my down arrow. Is there a fix for this?

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium, 32 bit, kept updated to current, and Firefox 10.0 updated to current version. When I applied this new update, the browser started scrolling 3 lines instead of 1 when I hit the down arrow. Please advise if there is a fix in the works for this problem. Thanks.

That seems to be a change in Firefox 10 and later.<br />
I've seen more posts about this new "feature, but I don't know of a way to revert it to one line.
Firefox 10 has changed to scroll amount for the keyboard navigation UP and DOWN keys to 3 lines.
You can set the scroll amount for the mouse wheel via mousewheel prefs on the about:config page, but you can't do that for the keyboard navigation keys.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
There are extension that work both for the mouse and the keyboard to set the scroll amount, but they can only be set to scroll an amount of pixels and not to scroll one line regardless of font-size (height) of the text.

I have two drives in my macbook pro. How can I download my apps to my second data hard drive instead of my OS SSD drive? Is there a way to point the default directory in the app store to a different hard drive? Certainly for a Mac Pro this makes sense.

Hi, my mac air is really low on disk space, can I remove itunes (which is huge) to an external hard drive to free up space?...and then run it from the hard drive instead of the mac,even if the mac no longer has space to accomodate the size of the library?

Yes.
Copy your music iTunes Library folder to the external drive and change the Advanced settings in iTunes to point to this new location.
Once you're happy with these changes you can delete the same Library from your User account to free up space on the internal drive.

Can I syn my new iphone to my itunes library on my PC even if it is already registered to my ipod? If so will it delete the library on my computer? And can I back my library up to my external hard drive instead of CDs?

Can I add my iphone to an exising itunes account which is registered to my ipod without wiping my computer library? Also is it poss to back up my library onto a external hard drive instead of CDs?

"am I still able to register another phone to the same ID?"
Yes.
") that I do end up creating a new apple ID "
This will cause complications. i do not recommend this.

Can I store my photos on an external hard drive instead of on my MacBook?

I would prefer to store all my photos on an external hard drive instead of taking up memory on my MacBook Pro. Is there a way to tell iPhotos to load/look at an external hard drive for all photos and info, like you can tell iTunes to look at a particular drive for all your songs? Thanks in advance for your help and knowledge. I'm new to the Apple world, but am really liking it so far.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Officejet 6310 prints solid black line instead of text.

Good day. My officejet 6310 has started printing a 3/8" solid black line instead of text. I've replaced both color and black cartridges. I've also run align and clean cartridges. Does anyone have helpful suggestions?

This type of result is often due to errors in the HP printer drivers. Several things can be tried. Sometimes, using a tested driver for an older, but compatible printer will do the job. A lot of folks used the use the HPLJ2 driver even with HPLJ3 and 4 systems. Another option is to try to print as a graphic. At this point, I can only suggest playing around with things. A lot of folks like the graphic driver aspect instead.
You might also consider printing to the printer in a PS mode rather than PCL if that option is available.
I am only suggesting things I have seen tried by various folks. I don't have a good explanation.

Dashed/Dotted Line instead of underlined Text

Hi All,
I am trying to build a component in which I need to show dashed or dotted line instead of underline for <mx:Text/> control.
Say if I have underlined text in various places in a <mx:Text/> I want the that text should be underlined with a dashed/dotted line but not complete solid line.
How can I acheive this...? Anyone having any ideas on this ...?
Thanks in advance,
Bhasker Chari

Hi GordonSmith,
Thank you very much for replying...I also had this thought in mind but it would be very difficult it seems because inorder to find the coordinates of each character where the underline is there and push the coordinates into an Array by traversing the whole text and after that we need to draw the lines onto th e UI using the drawing API.
And one more thing I have observed is using the drawing API(by drawing using sprite) we need to add the sprite to the stage so we need to draw for each and every underlined character using sprite and we need to add it to the stage.
Say if the <mx:Text /> control is in a canvas container then we need to add sprite instance drawing dotted underline for each word and add it to the Canvas container...but this will make the positioning of the dotted line very difficult.
Hope this makes sense....
Thanks in advance,
Bhasker Chari

What are alternatives for passing DB credentials to rwrun/rwclient command line instead of USERID parameter?

If you want a database username/password for every user that runs a report, you need to include un/pw in the command.
An option that you see quite often is that Reports use a general database user to run any report. In that case you can include the un/pw of this special user in the Key Map File:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/bi.1111/b32121/pbr_run013.htm#RSPUB23557
Of course, in that case you need an application in front of the call to the report to check if the user is allowed to run the report. This is how most web applications work anyway: there is one database user, and application users are maintained in the application itself.
Or you can use single sign on:
