PSE 11 - Scrolling through Brushes, Effects, etc

I've recently had to uninstall and re-install PSE 11 after some virus problems on my Windows 7 premium computer. I have a lot of brushes and styles loaded directly into the program. I like to see all my options at one time. I used to be able to scroll up and down through all of choices. Now I can only page through them in a downward direction. To get back to the top of my selections I have to "reset brushes" or "reset styles". This is a real pain and slows me down. How to I fix this. I've looked at Preferences, but don't see anything to correct this. I can use my scroll wheel, but only on the choices available. Help!

Besides making the effect using a gradient fill layer set to saturation blend mode with a foreground (black) to transparent gradient (reversed), you could load the actions (effects)
into the actions panel (Window>Actions) and run them from the actions panel. Then step back in the history panel (Window>History) to the New Gradient Fill Layer
step and double click on the Gradient Fill icon in the layers panel to adjust the effect.
On a windows system the actions (effects) are in:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\11.0\Photo Creations\photo effects
(you need to enable show Hidden files and folders from the Control Panel>Appearance and Personalization>Folder Options)
Also, you can change the position of the gradient with the gradient fill dialog open by dragging insde the document area.

Ipad2 keeps scrolling through apps, safari etc and I cant stop it. What do I do?

I have restored it, and its still doing it.

The Restore should have embraced a Reset but try it again [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

PE7 crash scrolling through effects

Scenario:
Added some stills to the timeline for a slideshow, select first clip, select effects , move mouswheel to scroll through effects,starts scrolling - crash!
[Vista 64, i7 920,12 Gb RAM,Nvida GTX 295]

Thanks Steve (you're up early!).
I'll check that and get PSE to down size my photos.
It would seem unlikely though. I've tried this scenario several times. If I select the preset groups first then I can add effects without scrolling and hence have no issue.
Cheers

Then find out.
What exact version number of AE CS5.5 do you have? Help>About will tell you.
Your composition settings will tell you your composition settings. And surely you must know what sort of footage you have in your scene and what effects you've applied.
Also, the exact wording of any and all error messages would help.

Problems with scrolling through premiere timeline using arrow keys and shift arrow

This is a really weird problem in cs6.
When I load a clip into the source monitor i can scroll throughit fine using the arrow keys, and shift arrows and my shuttle pro controller.
When I place the same clip on to the timeline it really struggles to scroll using the arrows or the shuttle pro, its really kerky and sdlwo to scroll the timeline, which is really frstrating, becuase it can play the footage fine in the source monitor.
The clips will playback fine, but scrolling through them just doesn't work as it should any ideas?
Cheers
Mike

I changed my shuttle settings to make the shuttling more responsive:
1 - 5 times second
2 - 10
3 - 15
4 - 30
5 - 45
6 - 60
7 - fast as possible
At least I changed this a long time ago - don't know if these are the defaults or not.
It'll only shuttle as fast as your system is responsive of course - so if you get instantaneous scrubbing by dragging the CTI in the timeline with the mouse, you should be able to get good performance with the shuttle. Of course that performance depends on the type of footage and how demanding it is on CPU to decode and whether youi have effects applied etc etc etc.
I edit pretty much exclusively with Sony XDCAM EX 1080P 25 footage we've shot on EX3 and PMW-350 etc and I get very very fast performance on the timeline - no issues at all i7 6 core 4GHz with 24Gb ram and fairly fast RAID array for footage.

Why am I unable to scroll through bookmarks with mouse wheel anymore?

Used to be able to scroll through bookmarks with mouse wheel, now I am unable to. I have tried reinstalling firefox and disabling all addons but same problem. Please help!

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Acrobat Pro 9.0 freezes when viewing/scrolling through the table of contents of a document

I am hoping someone can help me or has experienced the same problem I'm about to describe. I belong to the technical publications group of a fairly large company and I review a lot of PDF documents. I just installed Acrobat 9.0.0 (via CS4 Design Standard) and I've noticed on larger documents where there's a full page or several pages worth of Table of Contents, Acrobat 9.0.0 seems to freeze up when I begin scrolling through the TOC. For example, if I want to use the Text Edit tools or use a sticky note, when I press on an icon, Acrobat will freeze for a good 10 seconds, then will allow you to press the icon. It tends to freeze each time I want to make my next edit or even pressing the up/down arrow buttons to go to the next page. Once I get through the TOC pages, Acrobat seems to function normally--no freezes.
Has anyone experienced this? Would appreciate any kind of advice on how to fix--perhaps there's a patch or update?
I didn't experience any of this using Acrobat 8.0--I never had any real problems with Acrobat until 9.0.0.

Your issue may not be related to a difference between v8 and 9.
I have not had this problem on my computers, but a coworker had this issue. For many documents that others were able to open and scroll through without issue, his computer was freezing and unfreezing. IT determined his graphics capabilities were not able to keep up with the requirements of working with larger documents and gave his computer a RAM upgrade and a new graphics card. Particularly during scrolling, higher demands are made on the computer to graphically render and re-render page content. Documents giving him problems before became a non-issue.
A new graphics card is obviously a $$$ solution, but you might want to check to see if your RAM meets the minimum requirements and check to see if there are any program updates (Help > Check for Updates).
I have had an issue of pdfs freezing, but not specifically in the table of contents areas. If your document has pages with images that have an unusually high number of layers, it may affect the ability to work effectively in the document.

Is there a way to prevent a form user from paging up and down or scrolling through a form?

I'm using Livecycle Designer 8.0. I'm working on a registration form (it's set up like a survey). As users respond to questions, they will be sent to the appropriate next page in the form. In doing so, they will bypass certain pages. However, if users decide to scroll through the document, or page up or down, it will take them to pages that will not be appropriate given their initial responses. In some cases, it will appear that they are responding to the same question.
This was asked before and the answer seemed to be that this is not possible to do. However, it's been a year or two since then. It is my hope that the version I'm using now allows this.
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

In this case, you do not want someone (whoever they are DBA etc) to connect as that
particuler user to change the password.Yes, but I wouldn't expect the users to[i] know that password. The connnect would be handled automatically, behind the scenes.
The clear implication of the OP's question and response was that users would not be allowed to change their own passwords. I'm guessing this is in response to a policy that says users mustn't have simple passwords like 123abc or mom. In such a scenario a better approach would be to apply regexp to a user's password to ensure it contains a mix of letters, numbers, punctuation, etc to achieve the desired level of complexity.
So questions, should not be regarded as daft Agreed, but the same is unfortunately not always true of business decisions. As the OP has told us not to ask we cannot know why they want to do this. Personally, I think a user's individual password should always be their responsibility; anything else strikes me as insecure. YMMV.

Can't scroll through PDF in an inactive window/can't email from Chrome

I've been using the built-in Chrome PDF viewer up to this point. I changed over to the Adobe Viewer plugin because it allows me to email the PDF directly from the browser window/tab while the Chrome viewer does not. However, it seems I've traded one feature for another... With the Chrome PDF viewer, I could move the tab containing the PDF into its own window on a separate screen, click on a text field in another window, put the cursor back on the PDF (without clicking) and scroll through it with the mouse wheel while SIMULTANEOUSLY typing in a text field in the original Chrome tab. Basically, the cursor just sits on the PDF window, scroll when I need to and I type in another window. However, when I activate the Adobe Reader plugin, I can no longer do this; I have to click on the PDF within the new Chrome tab, scroll, then click on the text field on the other Chrome field. It may not sound like a big deal, but I am sifting through literally thousands of documents a day looking for specific information then documenting that information on another screen, so being able to type and scroll without the constant back-and-forth clicking is extremely helpful. I've tried dozens of seemingly related options in Adobe Reader, but I cannot find any combination of settings in Documents, General, Page Display or Internet that yield the desired result.
The flip side of my dilemma, as hinted in the beginning, is that I need the ability to email PDFs directly from the browser without saving it to the computer (i.e., the email icon on the Reader toolbar opens an Outlook email window). As best as I can tell, there is no way to do that with the built-in Chrome PDF viewer and thus I switched to the Adobe Reader.
Ultimately, I don't care whether I wind up with Reader that allows the scrolling functions that I desire or Chrome Viewer that allows me to email, though I'd prefer to just stick with the Chrome PDF viewer if that's possible.
Help and suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks, for responding, Pat.
Win7 Professional and Adobe Reader 11.0.07, plugin version 11.0.07.79
I'll try to clarify the problem.
On screen one I have a Chrome window open with data fields and a list of links that take me to PDFs. On screen two I have another Chrome window open; when I click on the PDF links on screen one, the PDF opens on screen two. (1) I move the cursor to one of the text fields on screen one and start typing. (2) I then move the cursor (without clicking) over to screen two and using the mouse wheel, scroll down in the document. (3) Next, I continue typing in the text field on screen one - again, my cursor is still on screen two, having just scrolled down. (4) I'll then scroll some more and (5) continue typing in the text field on screen 1, open a new PDF and repeat. Again, the issue Adobe Reader plugin causes is that it creates extra steps between 1 & 2 (I have to click on the PDF to scroll), 2 & 3 (I have to move the cursor back to screen one and click in the text field), 3 & 4 (I have to move the cursor back to the PDF and click again to scroll), etc. etc.

My iphone 4s is dictatating everything. I can no longer scroll through the phone. I have to double click all icons How do I turn this off?

My iphone 4s is dictating everything. I can't scroll through the phone. I have to double click on everything. How do I turn this off?

With Voice Over, you highlight whatever you are trying to select and then double tap anywhere on the screen to select.
So for your password of 1234 you have to
"Highlight 1, then double tap the screen, Highlight 2, the double tap the screen,... etc."
In order to remove you have 2 options:
Option# 1 – Turn off Voice Over
Go to setting by, highlight "SETTING
Double tap screen to go into settings
Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and highlight "GENERAL"
Double tap screen to go into general
Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and then highlight “ACCESSIBILITY”
Double tap screen to go into accessibility
Once you are in make sure that EVERYTHING in that section are shown as “OFF”
Option #2 - Reset your Phone
Go to setting by, highlight "SETTING
Double tap screen to go into settings
Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and highlight "GENERAL"
Double tap screen to go into general
Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and then highlight “RESET”
Double tap screen to go into reset
Select “Reset all setting” and continue to follow the instruction
(When you reset, all of your data and music WILL NOT erase. So don’t worry about that)
Hope this helps.

Transferring saved workspaces, brushes, scripts, etc. from CS6 to CC on a PC using Windows 7

This is what I came up with...
Transfer saved workspaces, brushes, scripts, etc. from CS6 (Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop) to CC on a PC using Windows 7.
Go to start menu < computer < (OS) C: drive < documents and settings* < user (your user name) < application data** < adobe < adobe illustrator (or adobe photoshop)***
*To see the ‘documents and settings’ folder, I had to go to start menu < control panel < folder options – select view tab – uncheck hide protected operating system files (recommended). The computer will prompt you to go ahead, say ‘yes’ then hit apply.
** There is another folder above ‘application data’ named ‘appdata’, this is not the correct folder.
* & ** I could not access these folders no matter what user settings I selected or logged in as administrator. I did an internet search and found the following successful:
If the the folder denies you access to share… right click on the folder < select properties < select the ‘security’ tab < click the ‘edit’ button < select any and all users named ‘everyone’ < select ‘remove’
After I removed the ‘everyone’ users, I was able to successfully share the folder to my user and access.
*** I did not have an ‘adobe indesign’ folder, scrolling down the list it was labeled just as ‘indesign’. So was ‘bridge’, ‘dreamweaver’, etc.
INDESIGN: Below are my exact paths for my particular system:
< adobe < Indesign (inside this folder I have three folders: Version 7.0, Version 8.0 and Version 9.0 – which correlates? to CS5, CS6 and CC.) < Version 8.0 < en_US < Workspaces (inside this folder I have two files of each workspace – for example named: ‘xyz.xml’ and ‘xyz_CurrentWorkspace.xml’, I don’t why there are two similarly named files??, so I copied both and pasted both (and it worked.)
< copy the workspaces you want to bring into CC
>Go back, to the Indesign folder and then to < Version 9.0 < en_US < Workspaces and paste the workspaces.
I did the same for scripts: copied from the Version 8.0 folder to the Version 9.0 folder *Please note that, with updated versions, your scripts may not work…
< Version 8.0 < en_US < scripts < scripts panel (copy scripts.)
You can do the same for Greps, Glyphs, Find/Change, etc.
I copied entire folders over from the en_US folders: ‘Indesign Shortcut Sets’ and ‘Glyph sets’
PHOTOSHOP: Below are my exact paths for my particular system: * please note I also have a ‘photoshop’ folder in the ‘adobe’ folder, which did not have what I was looking for to carry over.
< adobe < adobe photoshop CS6 < adobe photoshop CS6 settings – copy all files < go back to adobe < adobe photoshop CC < adobe photoshop CC settings – paste all files

To turn off UAC, go to the Control Panel, then User Accounts.
Under the header, "Make changes to your user account", there is an entry titled "Change User Account Control Settings".
Pick it, and drag the slider all the way down to "Never Notify".

How to enable sound scrolling in After Effects?

So basicly what im trying to do is be able to scroll through my compisition with the mouse and hear sound like in Sony Vegas is this possiple? So if i drag my mouse over footage sound will play. Also can you enable keyframes on a mask?
Thanks so much!

According to this page in the Adobe Help you can preview audio by ctrl+alt+drag the current timeline indicator. It also has a lot of other useful info about previewing in AE.
Now, keep in mind, previewing audio and video in AE is very different from non-linear editors like Vegas. Rick Gerard had a good explanation for this:
Sony Vegas, Premiere Pro, Final Cut, Avid are all NLE's (Non Linear Editors) and they are specifically designed to playback a video stream. With any of them, if you stack enough layers or effects on the video they will have to render a new video stream based on pixel based calculations for every pixel in the stack. This rendering, especially for HD sources or for complex plug-ins, will take quite a bit of time.
After Effects, Flame, Fusion, Shake -- are all pixel based image processing applications that act very much like Photoshop. They calculate the values of every pixel in every frame, come up with a new pixel, and then play those pixels back as a video stream. More importantly, AE and all the other pixel based compositing apps, always work internally with completely uncompressed pixel data. NLE's rely on codecs and in some cases, hardware, to playback the video. It's an entirely different way of working with moving images.
In After Effects you enable the preview by loading a bunch of frames into RAM then the video stream is played back. You start the process with the 0 key on the numeric keypad and not with the Space Bar as you do in nearly every NLE ever created. The length of the preview depends entirely on how much free ram you have available and it takes some time to generate these new pixels. The more layers, the more effects, the more calculations that need to be performed the longer it will take to process the RAM preview. There's currently no way around this rendering time. A modern NLE will handle an amazing number of video streams simultaneously, but as soon as you exceed the capability of the system you're stuck with a render. Most NLE's, given the same number of calculations, actually take a little longer than After Effects to do the same kind of effects. Open GL, and other GPU acceleration helps many NLE's achieve higher performance but it has yet to be implemented into a pixel based compositing app. The sad truth of the matter is that if you want to do compositing in any of the available compositing apps, you have to wait for renders. They are getting better. Memory management and efficiency is improving. GPU accelerated effects are being added, but for now, that's about as good as it gets.
I hope this helps. As long as you use After Effects to create shots and don't try to make it do the work of a NLE you should be fine. Movies come from NLE's, amazing shots come from AE.
- Rick Gerard
This page has links to lots of information about animating masks and shape layers.
It sounds like you're a beginner in AE. You should really start here to get a foundation in the basics before you just jump into it.

NOTHING will allow me to mouse wheel scroll through fonts in CS6

OMG, I am about to have a coronary trying to find fonts! I have looked on this forum for an answer that works and cannot find anything thus far. First, WHY is it necessary for CS6 font list in the Character Pallet to take up 1/2 of my screen?! Second, do i REALLY have to click the little arrows at the top and bottom of the font list to scroll through fonts, ONE.BY.ONE? Typing the first letter does not work either, it takes me to say the "D" fonts but when i click the drop down arrow to see my list of "D's", it shows a list from the top, not the D section. I REALLY hope I am missing something here, because seriously, this is totally unusable.
ETA: Going to the TYPE>FONT menu at the top does not scroll either and Photoshop CS6 works beautifully...
ETA (again): i CAN scroll through the menu on the top (under the FILE-EDIT-etc menus), but there is no font preview (and it is selected as med in preferences)

Thank you for the reply. System is a fairly new Windows 7, 64 bit, plenty of RAM, hard drive space, i5 dual core processor. To have this issue in Illustrator only and not in Photoshop seems less likely a software conflict (just guessing)? I attached screen shots.
Character Pallet drop down (mouse wheel, keyboard arrows, typing a letter key...all do nothing) Only way to navigate is by hitting the little arrows on the top/bottom of the drop down. And no scroll bar?
Top Menu Drop Down - scrolls, hit a letter key and works, arrow keys work. Could use this permanently, but there is no font preview..
All of what you said works on your system, is how I would expect it to be programmed. Partially making sure this is not the way it was designed, and hoping to find a fix for why its not working correctly.
Main programs installed:
Firefox
MS Office 2007
quickbooks
CS3 Design suite (I JUST upgraded to CS6 and have kept it there for a backup...probably can uninstall now if that could be an issue)
Thank you for any advice and if you would like to upload the video, that would be great.

NO Cursor scroll through any message thread using the track pad in the BB Classic

It very strange to know that I didn't find the cursor while i will scroll through any message thread i.e. Text msgs and in Whatsapp it will only selet the whole msg or multiple msgs rather then specfic text required, using the track pad in my BB Classic.
Where in my old BB 9780 there was a cursor which would always show there and would help in selecting text required.... Rather in BB Classic first you have to activate the selection mode in text msgs by pressing the shift key an slighty brush the finger against the trakpad. then you get the selection blue sticks on the screen to selet the text required.
Anyone who has noticed this short coming...?? Or it might be I am not very familair with the selection methods...!!!
Will appreciate your help
Thanks,
Falak Zaib

This is normal behaviour. Please go to the "Tutorial" app select
"Editing Text"
It will show you exactly how it works.
