Rectangle size changes from what I typed?

I'm using Illustrator CS 5 on snow leopard, when I make a new path with the rectangle tool, choosing a size in the dialogue window, say 10"x10" when i look at the rectangles size in the transform window along the top of the screen it says my rectangle is 10.0139" x 10.0139", now if I type 10 by 10 into the field again it stays 10 x 10.  Why does it do this and how can I fix this?
Thanks
Marcus

Merrill,
To me it looks like Edit>Preferences>General>Use Preview Bounds being ticked.
A integer inch rectangle is an integer pixel rectangle so there should be nothing to change.

  • This is about the still image size changing from what I see on the computer monitor and what the burned DVD shows on the TV

    I have Prem.El 12 and have used PE4 for years.  I have a new PC that runs Win7Pro.  The still images on the computer monitor are within the "safe margins".  The still images after the movie has been burned to a disk are MUCH smaller on the TV screen.  Is this an issue of 16:9 vs 4:3 ratios?  My TV is 4:3.  Can I tell PE12 to make the movie a 4:3?

    Although I have seen your post of today in my Inbox Email Notifications, that post has not yet appears in this thread. It will probably will sooner or later. But, to keep things moving along....this is a copy of what I am seeing as your message of today in my Indox Email Notifications
    Thank you for your patience in the time it is taking me to get back to you.
    I am still trying to buy some DVD-RW discs and will hopefully do that in a
    bit.  Meanwhile, I have more info for you and some simple (I hope)
    questions.  If you want to insert your answers, that would be fine.
    My camera (for stills and video) is set to the 4:3 ratio.  It is capable of
    being set to a 16:9 ratio if I wanted to do that.  I looked in its TOOLS
    menu and saw this info.
    My TV is definitely a 4:3 TV.  (I measured it with my tape measure and
    divided W/L to get 1.33)  The TV can show a 16:9 movie and just adds the
    black bars on the top and bottom.  Question: What will my old 4:3 movies
    look like on a 16:9 TV whenever we buy one of those?
    It seems to me that I want to set PE12 to the NTSC DV Standard you
    mentioned.
    I do NOT know how to “size your photos so that each has a 4:3 aspect”,
    unless you mean doing that in Photoshop Elements, which I know how to do
    (*see below)
    I had NOT considered that I would need to watch the preset for the
    ‘Publish+Share’ step; so that’s good to know (I copied and pasted your info
    for later use).
    BTW, years ago when I had difficulties with my XP computer working on PE4
    (had only 2 GB RAM), an Adobe tech told me to resize my photos * to have a
    720 pixel width (the height would be automatically adjusted) to lower the
    file size to something my computer could handle without crashing.  (That
    was back in the good ol’ days when Adobe support would actually talk with
    their customers and try to help them in the first month)
    My new computer has 16GB RAM.  Do you think I still need to reduce file
    size?  One does lose some sharpness in the resizing process…..however,
    these videos I’m making are travelogues and are for a fun way to view pics
    and videos of a trip…nothing Earth shattering….and just a hobby to keep me
    off the streets.
    I truly appreciate the time you take to help me (and others).  I was even
    tempted to try to install my old PE4 on my new computer just to be able to
    enjoy my hobby again.
    My reply to the above....
    1. If you camera is giving you 4:3 photos and your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 is running on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, then leave
    the photos as is unless you have a lot of photos and each has pixel dimensions sizes way over 1920 x 1080 pixels that are giving your computer resource issues. If you have to down size them because of computer resources, then copy the photos to a computer desktop folder and also create an empty folder on the computer desktop.
    a. Photoshop Elements Editor, File Menu/Process Multiple Files.
    Process Files form Folder
    Source - browse to and select the computer desktop folder with photos to be resized
    Destination - browse to and select the empty computer desktop folder
    Image Size
                 Check Mark Next To Resize Images
                (no check mark next to Constrain Proportions)
                Type in Width = 1000  (set units for pixels)
                Type in Height = 750 (set unites for pixels)
    File Size
               Check Mark Next to Convert Files To
               Set for JPEG High Quality
    The above should work fine for a NTSC DV Standard project with a burn to DVD disc with preset NTSC_Dolby DVD (4:3 video).
    2. With regard to the TV Set and 16:9 video....when you have the DVD-player attached to the TV, do you have the opportunity to bring up a display of menus with
    controls for Picture and Aspect Ratio? From what you have written so far, it looks like the answer is no. I am not sure how your TV DVD
    player will handle 16:9.
    Best do a mini test run
    1. Project preset set manually to NTSC DV Widescreen (please refer to post 1 link)
    A few photos sized for 1600 x 1200
    In the Premiere Elements project, use the Safety Margins inner rectangle for text placement
    Publish+Share/Disc/DVD disc with preset = NTSC_Widescreen_Dolby DVD.
    See what that looks like on your TV DVD player.
    If you discovered that your current TV DVD player can be set for a 16:9 display, then I have a preferred workflow for
    NTSC DV Widescreen which typically gives best possible results. Hints of things to come.
    Please review and consider. Thanks for the follow ups.

  • My Adobe Photoshop looks completely different.  How did it change from what I am used to using?

    My photoshop elements looks totally different from what I have been using.  How can I find the simplier version I am used to? 

    When did the version change to 10?   I used it in March and it was the one I was used to.  It was much simplier.  Is there another Adobe Photoshop besides Elements?

    Hold down the CtrlShiftAlt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. After a few seconds release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Alternatively hold down the three keys whilst  clicking on the desktop icon for the Editor or PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in the Programs folder. Keep holding down all three keys for a few seconds; then release. You should get the settings option. When you see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File? Click on Yes Then wait whilst Elements rebuilds the preferences.

  • TS2755 Text Messages changing from what's originally sent

    Has anyone else experienced their phone sending the correct message to the correct recipient but then changing how that message is displayed on your phone to something different from what was sent? For example, if the message you sent originally said "How is your day going though?", the phone might correct it later to read "Are you doing alright?" The autocorrect function on my phone has been turned off since I first got it back in January, and my phone hasn't tried to correct my texts before so I'm curious as to why this might be happening. If anyone else has experienced this happening to him/her, please let me know how you resolved it! THANK YOU!!

  • Paper size changing from letter to A4

    I have been trying to print PDF files that were created as A4 size documents in our office in Italy. When I go to print with the paper size set to Letter the printer says Please insert A4 size paper into manual feed tray. I have letter size in tray 2 and when I insert the letter size into the manual feed tray it prints fine. The printer is a HP LaserJet 4050. I am using Adobe 9. The strange part is everyone but myself and one other person, is printing fine to the same printer and the same PDF files. I have tried reinstalling the printer and Acrobat but same issues. Has anyone ever seen this or have any ideas why it would switch size even though I select Letter? I tried installing a different PDF viewer and it prints fine so is there a setting in Acrobat for this issue? I really need to be able to print these PDF's without having to run to the printer and feed paper in each time.
    Matthew

    Hi, Thanks for the hint regarding the profile - I just updated...and for responding!
    The System Preference for printing is set to A4, really that is not the issue, it is rather just one of the examples of the settings in the Address Book print window that are lost after printing.
    *Every time* I open the print dialog for printing of a contact the default setting is for US Letter, if I click on any additional fields to print (such as url, company etc), or change the font size from "Regular" to "Large"; the next time I want to print another card those settings are lost. As mentioned, I tried to save those settings in "Presets" under "save as", but upon reopening the print dialog and selecting the newly saved Preset all setting have reverted back to the defaults (US Letter, regular font size, no selection of my preference for printing the notes and company name etc).

  • My pages body test font has all changed from what i want -helvetica- to another font- papyrus that I use in just a small section and I want to change it back.

    Working in Pages, I'm using two fonts for 'body" text, and somehow I changed All the document body text to one of them. How do i change it back?

    I would use the File ▸ Revert To ▸ Browse All Versions, and travel back in document time to where your document body text is not all one font. You can use the space bar on each document version to Quick Look it to verify. When you have found what you want, select it and Restore.

  • Viewing size changes from FCP to QT

    I cant find how to view in its original 4:3 size a FCP movie that i already compressed into .mov (H.264) file. QuickTime squeezes the image a little from up and down.
    I have tried with other movies and its the same. I havent had this issue with the early version. Hope its easy to correct.
    Thank you.

  • Font size change from 3.5 to 7.0 in web reports

    We have an issue where our font sizes all seem to be smaller in the 7.0 environment vs. the 3.5 environment.  Has anyone else had this issue?  I cannot seem to find a note pertaining to this.  Is there a global setting that can be changed for this?  We have not migrated out templates.  We are just using the 3.x runtime in a 7.0 environment.

    Brent,
    Check your stylesheets - see if they are the same across 3.x and 7.0

  • In Aperature, how do you keep photos in the order you changed them to while editing? When you go to burn them to a disk, the order changes from what you see on the screen.

    I need to know how to save my photos to a disk for a client in the order I changed them while working on them. I photographed a party with another photographer and joined both photographers photos. Now I want to keep them in the order the event took place and how I rearranged them.

    The exported photos will show on the disk like any sequence of files, sorted by date, name, filetype, etc. To help your client to sort them according to your sequence, rename the files and append a sequence number. You can rename them on export by using an export preset, for example the name format "Custom name with index". That will append a number to the filename, according to the position in the album you are exporting.

  • Is there a perminent fix for type size changes from page to page. Type is sometime to small to read.

    This problem does not exist in Internet Explorer or in Chrome, so the problem appears to be in Firefox. I see work a rounds in these forums, but nothing that corrects the problem that seems to exist in Firefox. This problem started with one of the Firefox upgrades. Is there a permanent fix in our future.

    You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

  • Slide size change when clicking on pdf links (Acrobat 9 pro)

    Hello,
    I have a problem with an interface mock up I have to deliver to a client.
    The size of image is changing from a slide to another.
    For example, when I click on a home button (this button is a link made in acrobat pro, that send to another page of the pdf document), the slide size changes from full screen to a smaller size with a black border around.
    SOrry it's hard to explain, so I put 2 screenshots and hope it will be clear enough >
    This happen only if I use clicks on the links.
    If I just use the next / previous command (for example if I use keyboard's arrows), the size remain full screen and unchanged for the whole slides.
    Can you tell me how to fix this problem?
    Best regards,
    Mega

    Something to try.
    Using the link tool select the link.

  • Since updating my default programs have changed from CC 64bit to CC 2014, is this a problem?

    I updated my Creative Cloud this week and my default Illustrator & photoshop seem to have changed from what I now realise is CC64bit to CC 2014. If I click to open a file it opens a version other than the one the file was created in and different from the one I have pinned. It doesn't seem to have created much of a problem (though some won't open) but I now realise I have 4 versions installed CC 64bit, CC, CC2014 and an older version CS5. Should I delete any?

    hi,
    this confused me a little bit in the beginning too. The splash screen of, for example, Illustrator CC 2014 doesn't mention 64-bit any more. But when I looked in help > about it says in brackets next to the version number that it's 64-bit, for example, "18.0.0 (64-bit)"
    Hope this helps

  • After copying a file from NTFS to HFS volume, file size changed when viewing in Windows

    Hi guys,
    I have a Mac Air running Mavericks on a HFS partition and Windows 7 on a BOOTCAMP NTFS partition. I have some files that I want to read/write from/to both systems. Since OS X can't write NTFS and Windows can't write HFS either, and I don't want to use any 3rd-party tools/drivers, I have to adopt a "stupid" way: in OS X, I copy those files from NTFS to its HFS partition, make changes, then switch to Windows and sync them back to NTFS.
    The problem is, after I copied a file from NTFS to HFS in OS X, it seemed ok. But when I switched to Windows, the very copied file in HFS partition had its size changed (bigger) although I didn't make any changes to it in OS X yet. This happens to almost every file I copied, text and binary. For those text files, I tried to open it with EditPlus in Windows and EditPlus reports the correct size on the status bar.
    How could this happen?

    I am not sure if this is what your seeing but...
    The same unaltered file on two different volumes might use different amounts of disk space. This is because a 'disk' is divided in to 'blocks' and a block (also historically known as a 'sector') is a certain minimum size. So if disk-1 has a block size of 512 bytes and disk-2 has a block size of 1024 bytes then a file containing just 10 bytes will use up twice as much space on disk-2 as disk-1 even though it is the exact same file.
    Beyond that, Macs can add additional information like Spotlight tags, labels, icons, etc. which make a file bigger. If you are modifying a file then presumably that also implies adding additional content e.g. for a Word document more text and this will make it bigger. Also depending on some programs are configured or designed 'deleting' text may only mark it as deleted and not really delete. This can apply to older versions of Word which has a 'Fast Save' feature, new versions have removed this and do a proper delete.
    You would have to give more details like what you are doing to the document, what kind of document, and what the two sizes are.
    Finally, there is one other potential difference, some systems and manufacturers use 1024 as a unit for measuring file and disk sizes, some use 1000. It will be the same number of bytes in each case but 1000 bytes in one case would exactly equal 1MB, and in the other it would be 0.9765MB.
