Ps CS6 Color Sampler Cursor Hot Spot Inconsistent With Rest

I don't use the Color Sampler Tool much, but In checking something for another thread, I noticed the cursor now seems inconsistent with the cursors of the other tools.
Basically, I expected it to drop the sampler on the little crosshair, and it dropped it instead at the end of the dropper.
This used to make sense, and it's still consistent with the Eyedropper cursor (and with prior versions of Photoshop). But I find that now I've gotten used to the other new cursors, most of which now define the hot spot at the upper-left, it didn't do what was expected.
I guess there's not really a good solution for this, other than to just get used to it.

That's kind of the point, R_Kelly.
Adobe changed the behavior of SOME of the cursors in Ps CS6 to have the hot spot at the upper left, but they specifically DIDN'T change the one for the samplers. The ones that work that way have something functional-looking at the upper-left of the cursor.
I used to always just know that the end of the dropper was where the action was going to be. NOW, since so many of the cursors have a shape and that extra little tool at the upper-left, it triggered the expectation that in this case the "thing" at the upper-left was where the action was going to be.
Here are some examples:

How do I set a PNG cursor hot spot?

I am trying to set the hot spot for a PNG cursor in a CS6 plugin (Windows) I have searched for a solution but I can't find one. So far I am able to set the cursor using sAIUser->SetCursor() but I don't know how to set its hot spot. Can anyone provide an example of how to set the hot spot of a PNG cursor?

The SDK does this in the AnnotatorTool sample. It's an xml file that describes the hotspot.
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<prop.map version='1'>
<prop.list>
<prop.pair>
<key>DVA_CursorData</key>
<string>1.0</string>
</prop.pair>
<prop.pair>
<key>kHotSpot</key>
<array>
<array.type><int type='signed' size='32'/></array.type>
<int type='signed' size='32'>13</int>
<int type='signed' size='32'>12</int>
</array>
</prop.pair>
</prop.list>
</prop.map>
In the end, we gave up and just used platform code like Andrew did.

Export hot spots for GL CS2

Hi, I've created a simple image with a hotspot but when I
export as a jpeg I loose the hotspot. I've also tried to export
jpeg + html and tried to paste the generated code in the sourcecode
of my GL page but it's not working. What am I missing? I'm using FW
CS3, GL CS2 and OS 10.4.11 all updated to latest versions.

Really. It's nice to see someone has job security in this economy.
>Everything I have read so far says to avoid using flash. The reasons given were: distraction (for the employees), uneven color (due to "hot spots") and time to recharge the flash between firing.
Flash/strobe as far as I'm concerned, is going to be much more consistent color and exposure wise than tungsten. Flash tubes tend to stay much more constant over time and will certainly last much longer. And you won't have hot spots if you do as Ann says:
>That means having at least two identical units positioned at equal distances on either side between the camera and the blue print and at a 45° angle from the print.
Considering the enormity and apparent historic or other importance---and not knowing what sort of equipment you already have---I certainly wouldn't consider it imprudent to figure in an investment of a few hundred to (more likely) a few thousand dollars in order to make this happen as expeditiously as possible.
And if you're going to be doing 100,000 shots straight down, either make sure you have a comfortable set-up and/or enroll in a yoga class, because that's gonna be tough on the back.

Somehow, I think that as well. Otherwise, we'll see you when you surface in 3.42 years.

HT3574 bluetooth and hot spot iphone5 to Ipad 2 and Mac????

Hi, I just got an Iphone 5 and first of all I am not able to pair my Ipad and Mac to the Iphone with Bluetooth. I also just got the personal hotspot on the Iphone 5 but I doesn't work with bluetooth, nor with USB clabe and neither with the other network.
Thanks
Sara

Hi - thanks for your response.
I do not use bluetooth - Should I. I am using the hot spot capability with the new Ipad Air in the same way that I used it with my Mac Book pro. I have reset the connection but not restored the IOS as yet since it is only one month old. I have the new Air. I thought that the connection was supposed to use cellular data "on" and "personal hot spot on" that enables the phone to act like a WiFi connection similar to a router we have at home. I learned from a discussion with Apple that the Ipad once it goes to sleep will disconnect from the network.
To be clear I - I got the Ipad to use as an internet/mail connection using the Iphone hot spot in lieu of lugging along the Mac Book Pro.
Hopefully that clarifies any issues. I will not really know until I go back to my New Mexico House is signal strength is an issue. I think not
thanks

Quickstart to creating Window with Buttons+Hot Spots+

I'm a newbie too Java.
Would someone be kind enough to point me to a quick start... tutoral... sample code or whatever...
- to create a window with...
- Buttons
- Hot Spots
- Hot Objects
- Data Entry Fields, etc...
This will be a demo prototype for an app that may run both as a stand-alone application and a web based application... multi-platform...
thanks for any assistance.

Can't Make a Hot Spot!

Hi there,
I'm using Dreamweaver 8 to make a new website.
For some reason I can't make a hot spot. I've only made one
website before and just checked on those pages and was able to
click on the hot spot tools and draw a hot spot.
Then I go to my new website and click on an image and then
click on the hot spot tools and try to draw a hot spot on the
picture- what happens is the picture tries to "drag and drop". That
is the command that dreamweaver says is happening when I try to try
to draw the hot spot. ???????
What went wrong???
Here is the Html code behind the photo I'm trying to draw the
hot spot on:
<tr>
<td colspan="3"><img
src="graphics-headers/skyfooter.jpg" alt="Sky Footer" width="800"
height="45" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated as I don't know
what I did in the code that's preventing me from drawing them.
As I'm just starting making all my pages off my template-
found another problem:
Template won't update all the changes. For instance: Made a
change to the copyright footer - capitilized first letter- this
change won't update. Made changes to the page properties with a
link color change, also changed editable region- these changes
updated.
Weird!!! So the pages made from the template will be updated
only part ways from the original Template!
What did I do wrong? My first website went very well.
www.zoodoc-stories.com

When you create a polygonal hotspot, you don't click and
drag. You click at
the vertex of each side. Is that what you are doing?
Here are seven common mistakes that will result in changes
not propagating
from Template to child -
1. Rename the Templates folder
2. Move the Templates folder to some other folder level in
the site other
than root level
3. Move a template out of the Templates folder.
4. Make changes to an editable region of the template (which
will not
propagate)
5. Assume that template changes can be uploaded to the server
without also
uploading the changed local files
6. Corrupt the site cache so that the link between template
and child page
is broken
7, Improperly create your child pages by simply opening the
template,
adding page specific content, and resaving the template with
an *.html
extension rather that its *.dwt extension. (you can tell if
this is the case
by looking at the code on a child page - if you see anything
like <!--
TemplateBeginEditable... then this is what you have done)
The 6th problem can be repaired by using SITE | Advanced >
Recreate Site
Cache, and the six others can be fixed by just not doing
them. Have you
done any of those?

"color sampler tool" equivalent in color?

Hi,
Is there an equivalent to the 'color sampler tool' found in Photoshop in Color? I'm looking for a way to sample a pixel or small group of pixels (maybe a 5x5 square?) in a given frame and get numerical RGB data for that sample, but cant seem to find a tool in Color. Does a feature like this exist in Color (and if not, is there a workaround that would give me similar information)?
thanks in advance!

You can't get an "integrated" medially-dimensioned RGB value picker, but there are three single-pixel samplers available in the RGB scope display. They are explained in the manual as to use, etc.
These numbers are useless in 999,999 out of a million cases. COLOR is not Photoshop, and I don't know many colorists who paint by numbers. "Many" being the numeral "zero". Why, is because there is no "match" tool, and there is no method for directly entering values... only offsets, which is going to be a "poke it and see" kind of process. The only useful application for a COLOR pixel scrub is within Secondaries, which will place a cursor on the HSL curve adjustment windows, so that operator's aren't just stabbing wildly at that adjustment...

Color Sampler Tool bug?

Am I nuts here, or is this something with my particular machine? I'm running Photoshop CS4 (11.0.1) and I'm seeing the following:
Create a new image.
Add a folder.
Add a mask to that folder (I've done this with a raster mask, not a vector)
Create an adjustment layer inside that folder (I've tried this with curves, hue/sat, and/or channel mixer).
Duplicate the folder, and invert the mask on the copy.
Highlight an adjustment layer (either one).
Put out a color sampler inside the area masked by the current folder/adjustment layer. This becomes sampler #1. This shows the current values (correctly).
Put out a color sampler OUTSIDE the area masked by the current folder/adjustment layer. This becomes sampler #2. This shows no values (correctly).
Highlight the adjustment layer in the second masked folder.
Both samplers now show no value (incorrect).
Delete sampler #1. The new #1 now shows the current values (correct).
Recreate the other sampler (now at #2). Sampler #2 does not show color values (correct).
Highlight the first adjustment layer again.
Both samplers now show no value (incorrect).
It appears that *all* color samplers are either using the masked area of sampler #1, or combining the masked area of all lower numbered samplers, to determine if they should calculate values. The workaround is to remove all samplers every time you switch masked folders (which can get a bit insane if you have a lot of masked folders). This is not the way it worked in CS3.
Can anyone else duplicate this issue? Or is this unique to my machine? I'm running a fresh install (less than a week old) on Mac OS X 10.5.8, and I've updated to PS 11.0.1.
Message was edited by: achbed
Added version information

Simply put: Color Samplers will report no information with a Color Adjustment layer selected if it is contained in a masked Group and if the #1 Color Sampler is in the masked region.
The cursor sampler WILL work however. Unfortunately, I often need the mouse elsewhere while making adjustments.
This makes working in masked groups quite bothersome so any help would be appreciated.

Brush is constrained to 90º and appears as Color Sampler Tool

I'm having a suprise difficulty with my brush tool in that its cursor appears as the color sampler icon and it is constrained to 90 or 180 degree painting (sometimes just 90). Everything was working normally with my last use a day or so ago.
Other facts:
I've downloaded the latest update
Caps lock is not on.
I'm unable to right click in the options bar and reset all tools
I'd appreciate any help available. Thanks!

Apple released the 10.6.7 update for OS X today. This update corrects an issue introduced in the 10.6.5 update that affected modifier keys while using Photoshop.

Hi vg007, what version LabVIEW are you using? I found an example in the NI Example Finder (LabVIEW 2014) that might be helpful to accomplish what you are trying to do. In LabVIEW navigate to Help >> Find Examples.
In the Example Finder under the 'Browse' tab go to:
Analysis, Signal Processing and Mathematics >> Signal Processing >> Edge Detection with 2D Convolution.vi

Button Hot Spot Problems

Hi guys
I am using the button hot spot method to create a small interactive ‘tag’ that contains the copyright information for the picture of lightening in my app design. The tag is a MSO, made up of two states. State 1 is the icon that you tap to trigger state 2 which is a textbox containing the copyright information. When the user taps the textbox, the MSO goes back to state 1. Therefore, the icon in state 1 is a button embedded in the state (which triggers state 2) and the textbox in state 2 is also a button embedded in the state (to trigger state 1).
Below are two screenshots of the app from my iPad and two close-up views of the MSO. You will be able to see the problem I am encountering with the button hot spot method (see bottom left hand corner of lightening image). Ever since I updated Adobe Content Viewer and DPS Desktop Tools CS6, the MSO (explained above) has a ‘double’ appearance. Both the icon (state one) and the textbox (state 2) are not viewing correctly. This MSO worked perfectly before the most recent updates to DPS and Adobe Content Viewer.
Are there any known issues with buttons embedded in MSOs and the button hot spot method, since the above mentioned updates? Or have I made a mistake when creating the MSO?
Your help is much appreciated!

There are issues, if you use "Effects" together with MSO contents that "expand" the geometric bounds of the MSO (e.g. drop shadow).
The contents would shift slightly depending of the size of the effect. This is a known issue. Not resolved yet.

How can I use my iPhone'hot spot to send email from my computer ?

Hi,
My land line is dead ... so no phone nor internet at home. But I can use my iPhone'hot spot to get on the web from my iMac. Great ... it works !
Oups ! I cannot send email from my computer using my iPhone's hot spot with Mail.
How do I do that ?

Hi iCare,
Thanks for helping ... All that configuration is already done. I am able to surf the web from my computer using my iPhone's hotspot.
When I want to send an email from my computer, I get a message asking me to select the the SMTP server. Then I select my usual ISP server, but the message comes back telling me it does not work.
Is there any other configuration to do ?

Hi Templeton Peck,
Thanks for droping in my thread ...
Doesn't the fact that I can surf the web with my iPhone's hot spot and that I cannot use Mail normally has I normally do give you a clue what the problem could be ?
What other information can I give you other than normally I can surf and send email with my regular ISP. Now that my ISP is dead I am using my iPhone's hotspot to surf the web awaiting that my ISP's connoection returns. Surfing is OK but I cannot send emails with through Mail.
When I want to send an email from my computer, I get a message asking me to select the the SMTP server. Then I select my usual ISP server, but the message comes back telling me it does not work.
Is there any other configuration to do ?
