Retouch brush is very buggy

hallo,
are you aware that the new retouch brush in lr5 is very buggy, freezing, slow ?
do you intend to improve it ?
as an example of nice brushes, please look at capture NX2 or more recent ononesoftware retouch and clone brushes :
http://www.ononesoftware.com/learn/training/video/using-the-clone-brush/
http://www.ononesoftware.com/learn/training/video/perfect-layers-3-using-the-retouch-brush /
by the way since lr4, the previous retouch brush for dust had a bug. if i wanted to use it to remove bigger unexpected elements (so click ten times to cover a zone), it was impossible to locate a new circle across (even few % overlap) a previous one to extend the retouching. sometimes locating away and moving it after worked
best regards
marc

here are two images coming from a video2brain training showing new retouch brush cannot be used in many cases (here we try to remove electrical wires) with respect to nx2 retouch brush..; I really don't understand why adobe can provide such tools with respect to all the fantastic ones they have in PS. everybody now uses content aware brush and not clone tools :
personnally, if i had this image i would try to make a small part of the wire expecting lr samples lose to the zone to remove and then start a new brush close to clouds,... perhaps four or five different brushes instead of one long drawing.
best regards

I currently have a DROID RAZR M and I'm 1 year into my 2 year contract. Since the Kitkat update, the phone won't stay charged and it's very buggy. I know this is not Verizons fault but it's also not mine. I would like to change my phone to an iPhone 5s

I currently have a DROID RAZR M and I'm 1 year into my 2 year contract. Since the Kitkat update, the phone won't stay charged and it's very buggy. I know this is not Verizons fault but it's also not mine. I would like to change my phone to an iPhone 5s and keep my same plan but switch to the Edge program. Is this possible? I don't think I should have to pay an early termination fee or anything like that since my phone has become almost unusable. I know under normal circumstances you have to wait 2 yrs to upgrade but due to the update and the poor service I'm now getting I hope Verizon can make an exception. Thank you.

How recently did you switch? If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account. The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices. I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...

I updated my verizon iphone 4 to 2.7 and now my phone will randomly shut off and is very "buggy". Is there any way I can downgrade to 2.6?

Exactly as the title states. The 2.7 update is HORRIBLE and made my phone very buggy. I beleive I had the 2.0 or 2.1 software before this update and I was fine with that. Anyway to go back to the old software? If I restore to an earlier date then i'll lose all the new numbers ive added to my contacts since then

Click here, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and then run the 10.6.8 combo updater.

IPhoto (old-- version 8?) won't import photos from iPhone 5. Very buggy.

I have an old version of iPhoto that is very buggy (we have an 06 iMac, to be replaced next month). Admittedly, when I've been prompted to rebuild the cache, I don't (what does that do, anyway?). Lately, my problems have been: 1) Certain photos from my iPhone 5 continually re-import even though I check "Don't import duplicates." 2) Most concerning, photos from the past three months on my iPhone won't import to iPhoto. I get an ominous error message after iPhoto takes about an hour to go through the import process. On occassion, random photos (1 or 2) will import. Sometimes an image from a video (but not the actual video). My photos are trapped on my phone, currently not backed up. I have 1000+ photos on my iPhone, as I am sentimental and paranoid and don't want to delete them. Also--our photos are on an external hard drive. We also use TimeMachine and back up on a remote server through a service. I could live with losing everything on my Mac...but not my photos. The over 10K photos are painstackingly organized by folder and albums. Help me!!!

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download IPhoto Library Manager 4 for OS XC 10.6.8 and iPhoto 8.1.2 and later or iPhoto Library Manager 3 (for OS X 10.5.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5 and earlier) and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu (iPLM 3) or Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu (iPLM 4) option.
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Captivate 2.0 Very Buggy After Import of SWF File (Flash 8)??

Where should I begin...
Issue 1
I just updated to Cap 2 and started using it. I have come
across a few very weird issues. Everyting works fine until I import
a swf file to the stage. After I import a swf file to the stage I
realize I made a mistake in the swf file. So I updated the swf in
Flash 8 and publish it. I then went into Cap 2 and tried to update
the file (which I noticed that the update button has been removed.)
When I go to import and import the updated file, it does not update
it. I had to close the program and reboot before it would recognize
the new file??? Sounds like a caching issue of some sorts, but very
buggy in my eyes.
Issue 2
So now I have the new file in... great! But when I try to use
one of the drop down menus from the top tool bar, the menu
disappears immeditly after I have clicked on it??? The only way to
get my menu's back is to close the program and reopen it.
Issue 3
I just recently found another problem... I was trying to work
with Cap 2 in its crazy state, and I pulled one of the bars on the
timeline torwards the end of the screen and the timeline
disappeard??? So I went to view and clicked timeline... no change.
Now I do not have a timeline??? I have tried running a reapir and I
even tried several different new projects with different swf files
to see if it was just that file and I have the same results.
Sorry so lengthly on my issues but this just sucks and I need
help!! Anybody got any ideas!??
Thank you!!

Hi SaSQuaCh69247,
Issue 1 :- Select the SWF file in library, right click, and
select update.
Issue 2 :- Actually it could be valid for Issue 1 also. It
seems like SWF file you are trying to import, does some action
like, importing another swf or connecting to server on the first
frame itself. Captivate will try to play the first frame of SWF
when you import them. Try creating a keyframe with the stop action
as the first frame in your SWF, and see if you still have the
issue.
Issue 3 :- The approach I am mentioning over here is
generally the last approach which I will take in such scenerios,
but since you have already experimented a little, so try this.
Go to C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application
Data\Adobe\Adobe Captivate
Rename captivate_v20.dat as captivate_v20_org.dat.
Restart Captivate Application.
thanks

Retouch brush in Full Screen Editing Mode

Has anyone else noticed that the retouching brush is way too big when you're editing in full-screen mode? Is this a bug? Is there anyway to adjust the diameter of the brush?
Thanks,
Matt

Well, at least I'm not alone. I didn't notice a place to file a bug about this.
Thanks,
Matt
Yeah...I have the same issue. Posted on the other
forum about this. This size of the pixel is about 25
across and when you use the tool, it obliterates the
face or whatever you're trying to retouch. When you
revert to the regular screen it doesn't fix the
problem either.
I did notice that when I first used the tool in the
regular, non-full screen mode, it was fine. Once I
switched to the full screen editing mode, the problem
started and now it won't go away.

Aperture 3 hangs and crashes when using the retouch brush

Hi. I upgraded from A2 to A3 recently. I was pretty happy until I started to use the Retouch brush, which in best cases is incredibly slow (churns and churns...), and often makes A3 crash. It already killed one of my finest photo by corrupting the entire file. I am using a Macbook Pro with 2 GB of RAM and an Intel Core Duo processor, which is within the recommended system requirement. Anyone is having the same horrible experience? Any idea on why this is happening and what the fix is (besides buying a $3.300 Mac Pro?). If this is not getting better I am considering switching to Windows 7 and Adobe Lightroom...

Happening to me too,
A3 is the first time I've used it, on the 3.00 release besides the memory leak, I thought it was normal for the retouching to take ages,
but I think since the last patch its started to hang, a restart cures it, but its pretty poor tbh,

Is fw2.2 very buggy or i´m wrong?

Hello
after reading many posts, it´s my feeling that the fw2.2 is very buggy.
I´m still with 2.1 and so far so good. But i never read many errors about the 2.1 that i read about the fw2.2
Nuno

We haven't had any problems with either of our phones with the 2.2 update. Neither have our friends.

B210a Very Buggy

I have many problems with B210a printer. I did recieve the registration email with the code to enter in the hp eprint app but when i tap the link or open the app seperately there is no option anywhere to complete the registration. Btw my airprinting worked when i first bought the printer but has had a mind of its own after a few months, so i am trying again but with no luck. I cannot find the printer anymoreon the same wifi network or even when i enter the exact ip address. Very very buggy printer, have updated all drivers still have troubleshooting icon in device manager and all the options on the printers touchscreen that i need to help me in all suggested troubleshooting processes dont work, time out, cant connect etc... Have to plug in Laptop everytime i want to print and even that has been buggy on occasion. Getting ready to 'Office Space' it...

Interesting. Lots of issues here.
#1 has been fixed a few times (for a few different cases/reasons). #2 seems to be fixed. #3 seems to be fixed. #4 seems to be fixed, but a few scenarios still exist that are "by design". The design is that you should only do one thing at a time, but your
exact issue seems to be fixed. #5 seems to be fixed. #6 is interesting. That feature used to exist. It was removed because it was causing too much trouble and we moved to a better editor without the feature. Many web browsers now build that feature in, so
it was out of scope/plan.
Thanks!

Very Buggy Flash 10.2 - different Graphic Cards

Hi...
Flash Player 10.2 seems to be very "buggy".
My system:
Win Vista 32Bit Home Premium, all updates
Firefox 3.6.13 with the actuall Flash 10.2...
I have two GPUs (Hybrid)
- onboard Intel Media Accelerator, Intel Mobile Family 4 --> Flash 10.2 do not work!!
Some videos are showing only a black area or a not moving picture... mostly you can hear the sound.
and an extra decidedly graphic card (GPU)
-nVidia GeForce 9600M GT --> and there Flash 10.2 works!
Now if have loaded and installed the old Flash 10.1, latest version.....
... and all works fine!
So, now I will wait for an bug release.
update:
The problem is not more less with FF 3.6.15!
... and i have the same problem with IE8 on the same computer
At first with 10.2.152.26 and now branch 10.2.152.32.... it's all the same

Do you have the latest device drivers installed for your video card?
Did you try to disable Hardware Acceleration?

ITunes very "buggy"

For quite a while now my iTunes has been very buggy. I usually have it open in the background and when I first access it I inevitably click something one time and then get the spinning beach ball for 30 seconds. Also, when I am in a browser (usually Chrome, but sometimes Safari) iTunes doesn't come to the foreground when I click on it - I have to go down to the dock and click on the icon to bring the program forward. Its weird because I can still click on songs and podcasts, but the program doesn't come forward. I hoped that the recent upgrade to 10.2.1 would fix it, but it hasn't.
Any suggestions?

The second issue you mentioned is what I'm looking for help with. While on my phone I try to change the order of my playlist and I do t even have to press done before the songs will rearrange where the were previously. I have tried rebooting my phone and nothing has worked.

E70 is very buggy

I got me an E70 just few days ago. Though the phone otherwise is very nice, unfortunately the firmware of the phone seems to be still very, very buggy, I'm having a lot of problems with everything.
The biggest problem is that somehow the phone seems to think that its memory is full when just one programme is running. For example if I'm running Nokia Business Center to read my company email, I can't read my sms's at the same time - the phone tells me that it has no free memory. However, at the same time according to the file manager just a small part of the memory is used. Running few programmes at the same time is very essential for my smartphone usage.
It is also not unusual for the phone to completely crash in situations like this (and unfortunately not only then).
This probably is a problem that can be fixed by a firmware upgrade, but no one seems to know if a firmware upgrade is on its way and when will it be available. Is there any information of when and whether these very serious problems will be fixed?

I have to agree. My first use was fine. A spreadsheet with 10 rows and making a chart of it. But when I imported an excel spreadsheet with 3 years of step data (pedometer), 976 rows and trying to select 360 rows to make a yearly chart, Numbers went into crawl mode. Just updating the chart title the computer would capture one character per 30 or 40 seconds. When I selected a chart element it would take 20 to 40 seconds to select. I could not delete a chart series by selecting it and hitting the delete key. In short, it appears that making a few quick tables with just a few rows to support a presentation spreadsheet is ok, but trying to use Numbers to analyze any amount of data quickly becomes too time consuming to be practical.

Brightness screen very buggy

I have a brightness screen that is very buggy after 2.0 software, I reduce it to min all the way and sometimes when I put the passcode it stays bright as ****. Not going to the min of brightness.

Try turning off the auto brightness...
my brightness was very odd when that mode was turned on.
Anyone know what the behavior of turning this auto bright to on does? For example, does it sample the brightness once every 15 minutes? It just seems it doesn't respond accurately to changes in lighting.

Ken Burns/Photo import and editing very buggy

I have had a very difficult time inserting photos into my iMovie project.
First, it seems that sometimes when I click on a photo I've imported on to the timeline without the Ken Burns effect the Photo Settings window will not appear when the photo is selected. If I quit iMovie and restart the window will appear again. Clicking on the Show/Hide Photo Settings button appears to do nothing. Also, if I click on the Show Photo Settings button while the photo is highlighted in the timeline sometimes the preview window will switch to a different photo in a timeline and start looping an arbitrary Ken Burns move onto the new (unselected) photo.
Second, there appears to be no elegant way to move pictures around once they have the Ken Burns effect applied to them. If I need to adjust the length of the clip I get numerous error messages about clip lengths not being correct.
These problems never happen in Final Cut, and I wonder if it's just me or if iMovie is incredibly buggy and unmanageable.
PowerMac G5 2.5DP Mac OS X (10.4.4)

it seems that sometimes when I click on a
photo I've imported on to the timeline without the
Ken Burns effect the Photo Settings window will not
appear when the photo is selected.
Yes, the Photo Settings window seems a bit erratic. It's probably not, actually. Instead of being a standard button, the button should be a checkbox button where we tell iMovie we want it the Photo Settings window to open when photos are selected. Its behavior is consistent with a checkbox button, but since it's a standard button, it appears flakey and its behavior erratic.
Here's the confusing part: When you've been working on a photo with the Photo Settings window open, then click on a video clip -- a clip that's NOT a photo -- the Photo Settings window goes away, as it should. If you later click on an imported photo, or click on a photo in the Photos pane, the Photo Settings window re-appears all on its own.
If, however, the Photo Settings window was NOT open when you clicked on the video clip, the Photo Settings window does NOT re-open later when you click on an imported photo or a photo in the Photos pan.
That behavior appears erratic, for sometimes the Photo Settings window opens when you click on a photo and sometimes it doesn't. It all depends on what you did while editing the PREVIOUS photo/photo clip, but that's not obvious.
If the button were a checkbox, it would simply tell iMovie to open the Photo Settings window as we work on photos or not, just like any other preference. Then the window behavior would make sense.
To add to the confusion, the name of the standard button changes as it should, but offers to "Show Photo Settings" when a VIDEO clip is selected. Nothing happens when you press the button, of course, for a video clip has no photo settings. So once again, the button doesn't appear to function correctly. But it were a checkbox that toggled on/off, we wouldn't expect it to open the Photo Settings window while a video clip is selected.
At the very least, the button should be disabled when a video clip is selected, but it's not.
So the best I can tell, the Photo Settings window opens and closes as it should, but it appears erratic because the user interface is wrong.
Oh, there is one other bug. If the Themes Drop Zone window is open when you click on the "Show Photo Settings" button, nothing happens. The Photo Settings window fails to open.
And one more. The Photo Settings window "sticks" to the project window. If the project window is low on the screen and you place the Photo Settings window above the project window, then close the Photo Settings window and drag the project window up, the Photo Settings window is re-opened off screen. It opens but it doesn't appear to, for you can't see it.
There appears to be no elegant way to move
pictures around once they have the Ken Burns effect
applied to them.
The best I can tell, dragging imported photo works exactly like dragging video clips. I've always found dragging clips a bit clumsy with the timeline in Timeline viewer mode instead of Clip viewer, so maybe that's the problem for you. The trick is to drag the thumbnail above or below the timeline before dragging it left or right.
Except for that, you should be able to simply drag the thumbnail to where you want it in the timeline and iMovie HD will slide clips over to accept it. (Sometimes it's necessary to wiggle the mouse a bit so iMovie HD figures out you want it to scroll the timeline or slide stuff over.)
When dragging a long distance across the timeline, it's sometimes easier to first drag the clip to the Clips pane, scroll the timeline to the destination area, then drag the clip down into the timeline.
If I need to adjust the length of
the clip I get numerous error messages about clip
lengths not being correct.
Hmmm. More specifics please. How exactly are you adjusting the length of the clip? Exactly what error message?
Are you typing a very short time into the textbox of the duration slider of Photo Settings? Yes, that's got a bug that complains when you go less 1 second. The workaround is to drag the slider. (The textbox has been buggy in every version of iMovie. It's simpler to just not use it.)
