Question about controlling both handles or one at a time

I am using a trial version of Illustrator CS5 on Windows 7. I know how to select an anchor or its handle(s). But I do not know why I sometimes am controlling both of an anchors handles when I move one of them, or when I am moving only one at a time.
My question is: how to make it so I move both handles at the same time or how to make it so I am only moving one at a time?

yes you can use the direct select tool plus alt (option keys) or the convert anchor point tool to adjust only one handle at a time and you use the direct select tool without the alt (option key) to adjust both at the same time but be aware that once you adjust one of the anchor points independent of the other then you have made a corner (angle) anchor point and just using the direct select tool will not bring back the control over the two anchor points.
That means you have t use the convert anchor point to convert it back to a smooth anchor point, which will require you to adjust the path in a radial way that is both segments on both sides of that anchor point will move out of the position and follow a different form than it had before converting to a smooth anchor point.
The way around this is to go to the control Panel and use the button to convert to smooth anchor point which will give you a more desired result nd you can use the convert to corner anchor point button as well as yet another way of converting
So you should experiment so you understand the use of the direct select tool the pen tool the convert anchor point tool and the keyboard controls and the control panel.

  • I have question about hooking up an external hdd to a time capsule and still have my printer hooked up as well. Anyone got any tips for me, how to do it and what brand of harddrive that will work best for me 1 or 2 TB

    You just need a powered hub.. if you already use one then fine.
    Plug in just about any external hard disk will work fine. Format has to be readable by the TC.. ie fat32.. or much better HFS+.. plug it into a Mac to prepare the drive.
    Pick whatever size suits.. nowadays 2TB are most economical.
    WD, Seagate have goobled up all the minor players.. so pick one.
    Whatever suits your budget and asthetics.
    NOTE.. The USB on the TC is fine for printers.. IMHO it is the wrong way to go with USB disks.. use the internal disk of the TC.. USB is less than half the native speed plugged into a Mac.. TC to USB is slow.. far slower than internal drive.. or using external drive as external.

  • Have a few questions about iPad before I get one

    I have a few questions about getting an ipad before I committ to get one.
    I have about 24 gb of itunes purchases in my itunes library, I am thinking of getting the 64 gb ipad. However, after you purchase the 64 gb, it will not truly be 64 gb,
    1) how much actual storage space would I have on a 64 gb ipad accounting for the os? On my macbook now I have a 164 gb hard drive but only access to about 148 gb for example.
    2) Would I be able to store the 24 gb of itunes purchases in icloud? How would I do that? Would I keep needing to go into the Purchase History tab in the ITunes store and download the song when I want to listen to it? My concern with this is that the item will no longer be "available in the Itunes store" and I will lose access to my music I purchased? 
    I would like to ditch the laptop and just have the ipad as my computer but want to know about these questions I have first.
    3) Can ipad and iphone now be charged without needing a laptop? Per last year's June 2011 conference when Lion and ICloud were announced, it was stated in Fall 2011 with iOS5 that people could get ipads and iphones and charge them without needing a laptop for syncing?

    1. About 57 on mine
    2. Subscribe to iTunes Match at a cost of about $25 per year - 25000 song limit I think
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
    3. The iPad comes with a power adapter that plugs into a wall socket and that is the recommended way to charge it anyway. - not by using a computer
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html
    You do not absolutely need a computer in order to use an iPad but you have to do more research to figure out if it will fit your needs that way.

  • Question about how ExifMeta handles multivalued tags

    Hi,
    I have tested the ExifMeta (Great work, just what I needed!) to read face recognition data written by Picasa to RegionName, RegionType etc. fields in jpg metadata. Everything seems to work fine if there is only one name in the field but Picasa writes several values separated with commas like this:
    RegionName     John Doe, Jill Doll
    RegionType     Face, Face
    etc.
    In that case, the corresponding fields remain completely empty. So is this convention of writing several values separated by commas "standard" way of doing this? Is there any way to fix this?
    Additionally, three Region category tags refuse to load giving the following error:
    "Not updating due to error getting property, id: XMPmwgrs_RegionAppliedToDimensionsUnit, from: nil, to: pixel, err-msg: Attempt to access property "XMPmwgrs_RegionAppliedToDimensionsUnit" not declared in com.robcole.lightroom.ExifMeta's Info.lua"
    This is minor problem but it would be nice to know how to handle this kind of error in the future. Do I need to declare these in the lua-code if I need them?
    Looking forward to replies,
    Mikko

    Mikko,
    In future, please direct exif-meta specific questions to the exif-meta forum, or me personally.
    But a quick answer: exif-meta doesn't (by default) parse ("interpret") text values, so commas shouldn't be handled differently than any other text.
    The best way to find out what's going on is to invoke exiftool from the command line and inspect the output.
    My hunch is there is a zero character in there representing end-of-string, which can cause problems for lua code (e.g. Lightroom).
    If you send me one of your files which includes the face data, I'll have a look.
    PS - No clue about the 3 region tags (might be worth trying it with the latest version of exiftool) - please send me a file for inspection - thanks.

  • Question about syncing multiple ipods to one iTunes library

    I have an iPod touch (2nd gen Ver 3.1.3) that I sync to my computer. My daughter recently got an iPod touch (2nd gen Ver 4.0) that was under her father's account. I reset her iPod in order to put it under my iTunes store account. Next I synced her iPod with my computer adding only the items she wanted (games mostly and a few songs).
    iTunes didn't seem to have a problem with our devices being different versions. So far so good. I have only synced her device once and haven't synced mine since. We have both purchased apps straight to our iPods and they aren't backed up.
    My questions are:
    1. Before syncing, will I have to go check everything I want every time in iTunes?
    2. We use some of the same apps and games. Will the game data and/or app data be written by another players data? Can you tell I'm really just concerned about my TapFish score?
    I'm holding off on syncing until I know the answers.

    well, it would be better to keep everything checked in your library and instead create separate playlists for each mobile device.

    you can use as many mobile devices as you want with a single iTunes library. iTunes treats each device separately.
    i have two Nano's, an iPod Touch, and an iPad syncing with the same library.

  • Basic questions about the CM handling of Photoshop

    I have some basic questions how Potoshop handles colour management. Most probably this has been discussed many times before, but frankly, the manual is pretty poorly written on this subject. I do understand the principle of colour management pretty well, but am not sure whether I understand what Photoshop is doing. So could somebody please comment whether my reasoning is correct or not.
    Let's assume my monitor is calibrated and its profile loaded in OSX's monitor preference panel. Let's further assume I'm working strictly in RGB.
    Is the following correct:
    • When I open a picture which has an embedded profile, then Photoshop first calculates the "true" values from the embedded profile (whatever this means) and from this point the screen representation based on the profile which I defined in the system pref pane. So the screen representation remains always the same, regardless of the embedded profile (besides some possible conversion artefacts, especially on the edges of the colour space).
    • The same holds true in the opposite direction, so when I work on that picture on screen, then no matter which RGB space I pick as my working space, the result will always be exactly the same (except those aforementioned artefacts).
    • Hence it doesn't matter which RGB colour space I choose as my working space, it could be sRGB, Adobe RGB, "my own wild profile", whatever, the results are always the same. Of course the RGB values will differ, but this will be compensated by the embedded profile.
    • Yet the theoretically best working space is the colour space of my monitor, because this minimizes possible artefacts.
    • When I "convert" the picture from one profile into an other, then not only that new profile is assigned and embedded, but also the RGB values are recalculated accordingly, so that the result will remain the same. For example, I could first "convert" a picture from the camera space to my monitor space, then work on it, and finally "convert" it to sRGB before uploading it to a web site.
    • When I "assign" a new profile, then a new profile is simply assigned and embedded but the RGB values are not adjusted. So the RGB values remain the same, but because a different profile is embedded, the picture will actually be changed. Since Photoshop will recalculate the screen representation based on that new profile (and the monitor profile), I will see this change on the screen. (This action doesn't make much sense, except maybe to simulate the possible outcome on a system which misinterprets the profile, e.g. assumes sRGB.)
    • And finally, when I leave the picture untouched but change the monitor profile in the system pref pane, then of course the picture will not change, but its screen representation will change, because Photoshop uses that profile to calculate the screen representation. (This action makes even less sense, of course.)
    Have I understood? Then I have two final questions:
    • When I open a RGB file without any profile in it, what does Photoshop assume? How does it calculate the screen display?  What does it do if I "convert" such a picture or "assign" a profile?
    • If I select in the colour settings as working color space the monitor space, then the colour managment rule for RGB changes to "Colour management off" and can't be changed to a different value. I don't understand this.
    Thanks for your patience.

    • Yet the theoretically best working space is the colour space of my monitor, because this minimizes possible artefacts.
    No.
    (Edit: Any one screen usually has to be considered incidental, changing and transient and is not the target-medium, so it makes little sense to work based on its specific limitations.)
    • When I open a RGB file without any profile in it, what does Photoshop assume? How does it calculate the screen display? What does it do if I "convert" such a picture or "assign" a profile?
    If one opens an unprofiled file, Photoshop treats it as if it had the profile selected under RGB-Working-Space embedded and calculates display and conversion on that basis.
    (Edit: And that’s the danger of unprofiled files – they would look different if someone edited them who used a different Working Space.)
    Assigning such a file a profile is no different from assigning a profiled image a different profile – the RGB-values remain unchanged, the »key« for interpreting them changes and subsequently it will be displayed differently.

  • Some question about control file

    Hello,
    ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE
    - in my case I have three control files. The above command will generate the SQL
    command for regeneration of all three control files?
    - is there any way to find in which trace file the SQL script will be written. In my user (udump) and database (bddump) dump directory are many trace files and it is hard to find it. Also it is safe to delete all this trace files?
    - RMAN is kepping all it's data ( required for recovery) in control file.
    By using the above command I didn't find nothing about those data ( in the trace file ) or maybe I skip it.
    Windows 2000, Oracle 9i
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    To get the file, use this select in the session where you executed the backup to trace:SELECT
         'The file you search is: ' ||
         DIR.VALUE || DECODE(SUBSTR(DIR.VALUE,1,1),'/','/','\') || '*' || SPID.VALUE || '*' "Info"
    FROM
         (SELECT VALUE
          FROM V$PARAMETER
          WHERE NAME='user_dump_dest'
         ) DIR,
         (SELECT SPID VALUE
          FROM V$PROCESS
          WHERE ADDR=(SELECT PADDR
                    FROM V$SESSION
                    WHERE SID=(SELECT DISTINCT SID
                         FROM V$MYSTAT)
         ) SPID;You can cat/type this file directly. The file name returned uses wildcards (*) purposely.
    I read something about RECOVERY CATALOG and found that it can be created on same database or in a different database:Yes.
    If it's created in same database and this is lost, RECOVERY CATALOG will not be lost too ?Yes, it will. That's why we create the RECOVERY CATALOG in a dedicated database (for example the one in which EM Grid Control / OMS has it's repository.
    - If it's created in a different database, do I need a RECOVERY CATALOG for this database too? Well, you can do like that. I don't do it though. My RMAN's RECOVERY CATALOG database is backed up online via standard archivelog method (with my dynamic backup script), not using RMAN.

  • [makepkg] Question about split packages handling in makepkg

    Hello
    One question came to my mind, while I was looking at the vlc PKGBUILD. Does splitting packages have to be done in such a non efficient way? I mean, why do we have to delete for example, a directory, once make install has been issued, only to copy the removed parts by hand in the next function? Wouldn't it be better to just specify something like per-package %files section (like in RPM .spec files)? Is this approach possible in Arch without ditching all the work up to now? If there was any discussion about that, I would love to take part in it. I am also looking forward to listening some critical comments.

    Allan wrote:How is providing a list of files to include more efficient that providing a list not to include?
    If it was only about providing a list of files to include/exclude, it would be ok. However, as far as I know, when Makefile has only one install target and we have to separate some files, we have to install all first, and then remove parts which don't fit into the main package just to copy them back in place in the next package-foo2() function. It's like doing the same work twice. Is that right? If so, it could be quite problematic to package bigger projects. I'm kind of speculating here, because I can't name any of the "big projects", but I'm quite sure there are some out there. I hope I made my point clearly now.

  • Question about how HP handles customer service issues

    I am the owner of three HP laptops.  Two of which are dead now due to the defective Nvidia chips they contained.  When I called HP to report this issue, I was told by numerous HP customer service reps that they were not aware of any issues with the Nvidia GPU or that there had not been a high number of recorded problems concerning this.  It has been proven in numerous documents made public recently that this defect was known about and there had been a high frequency of this issue.   I would like to know why I was told these falsehoods and treated the way I was?
    I subsequently decided to dismantle one of the computer to investigate the GPU.  Sure enough the epoxy that reinforces the BGA solder-joint was cracked in the chip was no longer making good electrical contact with the PCB.  What I found really perplexing was the 1/4" gap between the GPU and the copper heat-sink that was intended to provide cooling.  I would assume HP was responsible for the cooling and chassis design?  I would also assume it as HP who filled this GAP will thermal foam.  Please correct me if I am wrong.  

    The recall was for certain models, did you confirm that your model was one of them?

    Hello, I'm interested by your question JSL because I meet quite the same problem with my HP HDX 16 1050 EF with Vista Home Premium SP2 64-bit.
    With the first audio drivers that came with the computer, I couldn't disable SRS settings because Windows sounds were totally distorded...
    And when I left default parameters, many musics were saturate because of the SRS...
    I've updated IDT Audio to v1.0.6225.0 (july 2009) via Windows Update. There are no more SRS but Dolby Natural Bass. Now I can disable it without any sound problem but each time I plug headphones or restart computer the dolby natural bass option light on...
    How can I disable it definitely ?

  • Questions about controlling fans.. using programs like smcFan Controll

    I am in Brazil and the high of the day is like in the 80's so my temps on my MacBook Pro jump to 150 F, I was wondering if I should use a program to increase my fan speed. For some reason even if the temps jump to 150 (F) my Mac doesn't up my fan speed. Is that normal? Should I use some program, such as smcFan Control to up my RPM's on the fans?
    Thanks for the responses!

    Yes, from anecdotal reports here that seems to be true, but it's not much sooner — just a little.
    But it isn't the operating system that makes the difference; it's that the hardware itself is tuned a little differently. From the fact that your machine was able to run OS X 10.5.8, I was able to tell that it wasn't one of the newer machines. It may be that the threshold of danger from overheating with the i5 and i7 processors is a bit lower than the 105°C/221°F for your Core 2 Duo; I don't know for sure.

  • K7N2G - question about controlling the surround sound.

    Hi!
    I bought a K7N2G a few weeks ago and yesterday i bought a Creative Inspire 6700 6.1 Surround-system. The only problem is that i don't get surround sound.
    I installed the nForce APU where i could choose 5.1-sound but it didn't help, then i took a closer look in the manual only to discover that i'm using the wrong tool, the control panel-application in the manual looks a lot different.
    I have been reinstalling drivers for hours, trying to get to that applications but i can't find it anywhere.
    Could someone please tell me, if possible, where to find that application. It seems like i have to do some settings to get my surround sound. I know that the card supports 5.1-sound and i managed to get sound in all channels except the rear center - i played a multichannel MP3 that said "left - center - right" and so on.
    since i don't know the name of the applications the only clue i can give is what the Applications border says:
    "NVIDIA nForce (TM) Control Panel".

     that app is for the nforce one boards and the nforce2 boards that use the mcp2-t that have the apu soundstorm chips.....
    If you installed an addon sound card you need to disable the onboard AC97 codec. And install the drivers and software that came with your card.......Or just download the Advanced AC97 codec and software from Realtek for the onboard  sound card  and use that instead.....
    I think you misunderstood, i'm using the onboard sound on my K7N2G - wich is a nForce2-board. And i do get sound, i am just unable to control it and since no game or application will provide me with surround sound even if i enable it within the application - the K7N2G have built in 6-channel sound. I'm using analog output so i have checked "Rear speakers connected to line in" and so on.

  • Question about import all tables except one

    I have exported all tables for a user. While importing I want to import all tables except one table whose name I know. How do I do this? Example: If I have tables: Employee, address, salary that I have exported. While importing I want to import only Employee and address. How do I do this. The database I have exported contains over 20 tables.

    I don't think it is possible at all, you just need to explicitly specify all the tables.
    If you really don't want to include the single table, then you can import all the tables and drop the desired one.
