Restore default presets in local adjustments

I think that there is a problem when restoring default presets in local adjustments. I can not restore them, both from the preferences window and from the menu in local adjustments.
By the way, I'm storing my presets with the catalog.

how to restore these presets.
By reinstalling any Adobe app that makes use of the shared PDF components. The presets themselves are stored in the pertinent program folder and also in your user data folder. In fact if you simply create a new user account they may magically show up because they were re-created/ copied with factory defaults... On the other hand that may also point to possible permissions issues with your own user account - the files may be there, but inaccessible due to insufficient privileges. Other than that really simply reinstall.

How to restore a preset?

I've accidentally deleted a preset "vocal remove" under stereo imagery (center channel extractor), how can I restore it? Anyone can give me the parameters f there is no way to restore it? Should I re-install it??
I'm using Adobe Audition CS6.
thanks

With Windows 7, navigate to c:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Audition\5.0 and locate the EffectPreset .xml file, and delete it. When you restart Audition, this file will be renewed automatically with the original default presets in it.
The only thing you should note is that this file path may well be hidden in your computer - you have to unhide hidden files. Also, this is only the PC path - heaven only knows where this is in a Mac...
If somebody who knows would care to add the Mac information to this thread, I'll turn the whole lot into a FAQ.

E72 : "Item no longer available; Restoring default...

Hi all,
Has anyone seen this message on E72 ?
I have had my E72 for abt a month. After much struggle and trial/errors I had got most of the stuff working (email etc.).
HOWEVER, I made the big mistake of accepting the firmware v 023.xx upgrade. It never completed the update successfully (the USB connection kept getting lost).
But the worst part is I am now getting these random messages when I am simply scrolling thru' the menu items.
"Item no longer available. Restoring default key setting".
Has anyone seen this message on E72 ? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
When I check the firmware it still shows 021.024 dated 17-Oct-2009.

Did you upgrade using OVI or NSU? I did upgrade mine to 023.002 with NSU 2.4.1. If you use Vista or 7 as OS, make sure you have Administrator right while installing OVI, PC Suite, or NSU.
During the installation, the phone disconnected. I remove the USB connection and the battery as well, then plug the USB and battery in then click Retry. It worked after 2 times remove and plug-in.
I never seen the message you have before. I think it is because the firmware upgrade didn't finish successfully. And for USB keep disconnected, try use other USB port and make sure it is direct connection from PC to E72 without using any USB hub.

TS3579 I found this useful because I did not know about the effect of typing in data and that you could only drag to rearrange the data. I had typed in data before and this had caused problems but restoring defaults did not cause correct dates to show up

I found this (TS3579: If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac Learn about If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac) useful because I did not know about the effect of typing in data and that you could only drag to rearrange the data. I had typed in data before and this had caused problems but restoring defaults did not cause correct dates to show up in Finder.

It sounds like there are a couple things going on here. First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance. Once you find this, make sure the service is started.
If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error. If you get an error, post the error message your hitting. If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect. If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
name in the connection dialog. Ex: "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name. However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format. Ex: COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
is the instance name you set during install).
You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install. Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.

How to restore default OS X Lion theme?

Recently, I downloaded an app named "Cloak" which changes the color of your Finder, but it didn't work so I uninstalled it. After I did that, it changed the buttons around. For example on Safari, when I press the red exit button it goes full screen instead. Other things happen too (Look at the photo) How do I restore default OS X Lion theme so that it goes to normal? It's really ******* me off, help me pleaseee?

An example of the 3rd party programs that people insist on installing and wonder why their systems go haywire.
I would suggest going to the developers site and seeing if they have a downloadable uninstaller.
http://www.taoeffect.com/blog/2009/05/cloak-manage-your-invisible-files/
If you install these eye candy programs, they become entwined with your core system and the result is often as we see above, or often worse, like data loss through disc or system failure.
Good Luck

How to set default preset for Save for Web

Following the demise of my laptop, I have installed PSE8 (Windows) on my new one.
On my old machine, the default preset for Save for Web was JPEG High
On the new installation, the default is GIF and you have to manually scroll through the presets every time to apply the JPEG High preset.
Is it possible to change the default preset. If so, how.
Thank you

Photoshop Elements 6/7/8 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Lightroom has a hard time with local adjustments:

Local adjustments: Spotting / Cloning / Healing Brush, Adjustmenst Brush, Graduated filter
I posted the piece below as a response to thaehn’s post “Lightroom freezes on Dust Spot Removal” but I thought the topic is important enough to warrant its own post.
This in advance: I'm running WIN XP SP4 with all available patches; have 4 GB of RAM; have a dual-core processor at 3 GB.
Apart from my drive C, I have two internal hard drives in Raid 0 configuration (thus they show up as one drive). I also have an external hard drive that's in Raid 1 ( "mirroring') and is connected by fire-wire 400.
Yes, LR "freezes" when using the dust spot tool and also when using the adjustment brush or - but to a lesser degree - when using the grad filter.
My observation though is that it's not a true "freezing", because if I wait long enough LR starts working again. So when using these tools, LR gets extremely busy und just doesn't have enough resources left to respond to further commands right away - but it "stores" the comands and acts on them eventually.
If I turn on my task manager I observe the following when using these tools: the CPU gets extremely busy (i.e. the green bar is at 100%) while the RAM usage is high but not to the max. The "freezes" occur when and as long the CPU works at 100%. If the CPU is below 100% LR responds sluggish and the response is normal again when eventually the CPU usage is at 0%.
Also, in my observation, this behaviour of LR is compounding, i.e. the wait-times for my CPU to get back to 0 are increasing, the longer I work with these tools or the more photos I work on. Re-starting LR does not bring change: the behaviour establishes itself when using the tools again. It is as if LR needs to do some work in the background and that this background work piles up the longer I work in LR.
I am not a software or hardware specialist, so the following observations are somewhat subjective and not really quantifiable.
In Photoshop I observed a similar behaviour (although never as bad) when working on files of 500 MB and above. It was particularly bad when working on photos residing on my external RAID 1 hard drive. I had a hunch that it might have to do with the reading and writing from a drive that a) is external and b) is in RAID 1. It is known that RAID 1 has slower writing (and also reading) speeds than RAID 0 (or no RAID at all). So in Photoshop I managed to cut down on the unresponsiveness by moving large files to my internal RAID 0 hard drive and working from there.
From this experience I come to the assumption that some of the "busy-ness" in LR (or of the CPU) is due to reading/writing to/from the hard drive.
To test this assumption for LR, I moved some photos from my external (RAID 1) to my internal (RAID 0) hard drive and did some "intensive" work: first some "fancy" lens correction, then a few grad filters, and a "final touch" with the adjustment brush. I thought that LR could handle these tasks somewhat better when the photos were on the internal drive - so some of the "sluggishness" or " freezing" is due to the reading/writing from/to the hard drive.
Acually I cannot explain why this should be so: In my naivete I thought LR writes everything only into the catalog (?), that - by the way - is on my internal RAID 0 drive.
I think it would be good if Adobe could look into this and maybe give us some recommendations, just as they do for Photoshop by saying that the scratch disk should be on a different drive than Photoshop.
But it seems also that local adjustments - spotting, adj. brush. etc - are a very high "number-crunching" business for LR - independent of where the photo is located on the drive. (Interestingly the grad filter is not as bad as the adjustment brush). The clone-tool in Photoshop hardly registers on my CPU and if at all only with a very short spike, while the clone tool in LR sends the CPU through the roof for 10 to 30 seconds- even when the photo in question is on the internal drive.
I'm sure loots of people will now tell me that this is due to the difference between pixel-based adjustment and non-pixel-based ones. OK, I acknowledge that. But still ...
It seems some guys are still in denial about this (or maybe they have two quad processors and 16 GB of RAM):
But it's a fact: LR has a hard time with localized adjustments. There must be by now 100's of complaints to that respect, and that can't be dismissed by blaming it on the hardware specs alone.
I just hope Adobe is working on that.
LR3 is a fantastic program that I would not want to work without. Often I have to work on a lot of photos with a very tight deadline. Without LR it would be impossible.
Thank you,
ErnstK

You are right Samoreen.
I posted my above message in July 2010 and this topic has been re-opened by Adobe under the thread Lightroom 3.3 Performance Feedback
I think it would be best if everybody would post their concerns only under this thread.
Otherwise we'd have two different threads for the same issue.
So let's close this one here.

Local adjustments slow on Vista 64 (LR 2.1 - not a Nvidia problem)

Hi,
I am using LR 2.0/2.1 from the release of the 2.0 and recently has migrated my PC to Vista 64bit. My hardware is 2 years old but nevertheless is quite up to task - P4 dual core 3.2 Ghz CPU with 4 GB of RAM and SATA RAID with XFX GeForce 6800XT card (with 512MB of card RAM).
It is a very fast system in general but I do have some problems in LR 2.1 with a local adjustments brushes. I know it's a well discussed topic however I feel that in my case it is sufficiently different to warrant a new topic. I've done all the Nvidia driver optimisations - setting all the driver properties to max performance for LR. This did make a difference initially but as brush strokes are added the lags are getting worse and if I have about 8-10 strokes and more - it gets really unusable - very slow to catch up with delays as much as a minute or two.
I don't run any antiviruses or any other scanning utils other that bog standard Vista 64 bit services (all the potential scanning services like disk indexing, defender scanning has been disabled for the purpouse of the performance testing - nothing made a difference). What is curious though, that a few people who have the brush working fast were saying that CPU was not topping up and in my case I noticed that both cores were used quite a lot when the delays started to occur (with the number of strokes around 8 or 10 and more). The combined CPU usage went up to 90% (so both cores were used extensively). I have a relatively medium catalog - around 10000 photos.
Setting the automask on/off does not make a lot of difference - with the automsak off it only is more responsive for a couple more further strokes and then slows down again.
I am sort of exhausted my options of what to investigate further and would appreciate any constructive comments of where to look and what to look for (please no Adobe blaiming here). I will also appreciate some Adobe engineers comments on the CPU usage of the adjustment brush and possible also insights of how can I look at what's going on.
Thanks,
Alex

I've contributed elsewhere but I'll just add another voice to this thread. Same cumulative slowdown here with a very similar system. I don't know if you have noticed but it's not only the brush strokes that slow down to treacle speed. If you get fed up waiting for a response and start clicking buttons you can find them reacting sequentially for up to a minute. Its like watching a very slow recorded tutorial. It's the same for adjustment sliders once the slowdown is under way.
Also I find that if you move the brush too quickly it will abreviate the curve you create into a series of angles. I postulate that, in the case of my Intuos tablet at least, the program has a problem responding to the data rate from the tablet. An example is if I tap the pen in the image, lift and go quickly to make a menu selection. The brush will continue to draw after the pen has lifted along the line of cursor movement and I have to go back and delete the stroke.

Local adjustments undo keystroke

Just wanted to mention this as an annoying behavioral bug that I'd appreciate you fixing before release.
When making local adjustments, if I'm modifying one of the sliders to an existing adjustment, then hit undo it de-selects the adjustment, so I have to go find the pin again on the photo.
So for example I have a photo where the sky is too bright. I put a gradient adjustment on the upper portion of the sky, taking down the exposure a little bit. But in addition the sky now seems flat, so I change the contrast slider to add more punch to the sky. After looking for a second, it seems too much so I hit ctrl-z to go back a step. Now I have to go back and re-select the adjustment to make changes to the sliders again, which I shouldn't have to do since I selected that several steps ago.
Thanks so much for looking at this. I love using LR, and am thrilled with the improvements coming in ver. 4.
Schlaave

That would only be possible if you remember your latest good setting.
Not much of a challenge maybe if it was just one slider. But for complex changes something like a history for the local adjustment would be useful, inside the dialog while you are still doing the adjustment.
But the OP did not even ask for that much, just for an Undo of the very latest action.

I've just found the keyboard shortcut in Garageband for 'copy region' had changed from cmdC to ctrlC. I went to Preferences and clicked Restore Defaults for shortcuts. Now its altC . How can I get it back to the original commands.

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

TS1717 restoring default factory settings without itunes as both may have malware

How can I restoring default factory settings without itunes on my ipod 1 and ipod 3rd generation, as both may have malware aswell as 3 laptops, 2 mobile, TV snd BluRay Browser.
any advice will be greatly appreciated.
have tried to disinfect with Kaspersky products but the malware just overwrites everything that is put into the p.c. so I need to use just the pad itself, that is, of course, if it allows me access.
theres nothing like a ipad scorned, ask my weary eyes. cheers

yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
open itunes on my computer
click on my device on the left
go to the device summary
click restore
it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!

Set a Metadata Default Preset in LR3?

I'm wondering if there is a way to set ONE "custom" preset to be the default metadata for all time - applied to every single image ever brought into LR3?
I want to use these to help © my work and leave embedded contact information in the files - but it is a big pain to have to do it manually for every time I import files - also something I don't always remember to do all the time.
I don't ever need different presets - just one main one. As it stands it comes up as "NONE". I'm stumped as to where one sets a default meta preset. Within the preset editor - the program preferences - nowhere that I can find.

But I'm not aware of any place where one can set it to a default preset - so that it requires NO adjustment/setting - and no manual attention ever again
If you set it in Import, it's remembered for future import sessions. How more much persistent than this should but be?
Every time a new catalog is made.
And it is valid for all catalogs.

Default presets

I have just installed Lightroom 3 and cannot see the default presets in the Develop modu
le although I can see a folder on my computer where the presets are sitting. How can I get them to be displayed in the
system as I am developing my photos?

When in the develop mode the various tools are on the right hand side of the screen, the settings there are what the default develop settings for the particular file are until you change them. If you look on the right side of the screen the history panel will show any changes made on import, so if you applied a preset on import it will show here.
If you have accidental turned of any panels you can reactivate them from the window menu.
Best to check out the help link from LR for the basics of how LR works, the Five Rules will give you a quick tour of the panels.
