Rubber Band Brush Mode?

I have searched the helpfile and I don't think this is possible but just thought I'd check to make sure.
I have another paint app where it will do a brush mode that is a rubber-band mode. So if there is a brush that's 25 pixels wide and you go and click once somewhere and then move the cursor... a straight line rubberband appears connected to your cursor. When you click again, the brush is painted in a straight line to where you clicked. It's great when you are trying to quickly paint a straight line to match something in the image.
Does PS have a brush mode like this?
(I know that drawing paths can be stroked in straight lines, etc. but I need a brush mode that is quickly switchable to as I am speed painting thousands of images and brushing is fastest for this work).
Thanks!

So do you mean you want to be able to draw straight lines that are not paths quickly? If so, select the line tool which would normally make a path, and in the top left of the screen in the tools long menu across the top, select the square shape that has no lines or a pen on it, and this will just create a basic, pixle line. You can set its thinckness up there too. If you want to draw a line that goes from thin-to-thick, if you use the paintbrush with any brush, hold shift key as you paint. It can go in a straight line then, but only in the 4 main directions. If you require different directions, you can duplicate, then rotate the line you created, or you make a brush out of it and set rotation to pen tilt if you have a graphics tablet.

Rubber band mode

When creating a path with the pen tool in Photoshop you can enable Rubber Band Mode. This helps me to see where the path will lie before I click to create my next control point. Is there a similar mode in Illustrator?

Well, the rubber band option in Photoshop and the space bar feature in Illustrator are two different useful things and it would be best if both are available in both programs.
The Rubber band path preview allows you to see when moving the mouse if the line between two points will touch a third point in the middle so you just need a mouse move and one click to make a precise path while with Illustrator you need additional actions - after clicking, you have to also hold the mouse, press the space bar, and reposition the point. For example, if you have to create something like a polygon with many sides that encompasses and touches the border of a circular shape inside of it, with the rubber band option you will be at least twice as fast.
However the space bar feature in Illustrator will have greater advantage with shapes with curved lines, because the curve lines require creating and dragging handles of the anchor points, this changes where the path passes, and at this point repositioning it with the space bar becomes very helpful but this is not available in Photoshop where creating this kind of shapes will take longer.
Alternatively to the space bar feature, Photoshop can move the position of a point while the path is still being drawn with arrows or Shift + arrows key on the keyboard but for greater adjustments the space bar feature in Illustrator will be much faster.
However I also wish Illustrator, like Photoshop is able to use the arrows keys for finer adjustments of anchor points while drawing the path. In Illustrator if you use the arrow keys, this will complete the path.

Pen tool rubber band color

I'm using the pen tool in photoshop CS5 and have found that it is very difficult to see the rubber band against grey colors. The rubber band doesn't change color as it did in previous versions. Is there a preference which is controlling this?

John unfortunately in CS5 pathing has now become difficult, for exactly the reason that you say - its very difficult sometimes to see the paths. No solution at present - other than going back to CS4 to do your paths, or putting a Levels adjustment so you can see them more clearly.
This seems frankly, to be a joint responsibility between Apple and Adobe. Apple have forced developers like Adobe to re-write their interfaces for "Cocoa" - the new OS framework. (Still seemingly incomplete with holes and efficiency issues). There are also graphical problems in Cocoa, like this one that is to do with insufficient OS "blending modes" being included in Cocoa.
Adobe apparently "didn't have time" to try and engineer their own solution, prior to the release of CS5. Frankly for not being supplied with adequate resources to do their job. Hopefully this solution will be reached for a point release in CS5.

Image Pan _ Rubber band effect

I am trying to make the black square do the rubber band
effect while the image pans left to right with mouse movement
Each code works seperatly but when i put them together they
do not work
here is layer 1 the code for the image pan
this.onMouseMove = function() {
constrainedMove(bg_mc, 4, 1);
function constrainedMove(target:MovieClip, speed:Number,
dir:Number) {
var mousePercent:Number = _xmouse/Stage.width;
var mSpeed:Number;
if (dir == 1) {
mSpeed = 1-mousePercent;
} else { mSpeed = mousePercent;
target.destX =
Math.round(-((target._width-Stage.width)*mSpeed));
target.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (target._x == target.destX) {
delete target.onEnterFrame;
} else if (target._x>target.destX) {
target._x -=
Math.ceil((target._x-target.destX)*(speed/100));
} else if (target._x<target.destX) {
target._x +=
Math.ceil((target.destX-target._x)*(speed/100));
here is the code for the movieclip on layer 2
MovieClip.prototype.move = function (centerx, centery,
inertia, k) { x = -this._x+centerx;y = -this._y+centery;xp =
xp*inertia+x*k;yp = yp*inertia+y*k;_x += xp;_y += yp;};
now the code for the actual squarebox
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this.move(x=247.5, y=300, 0.80, 0.1);
What am i doing wrong????

How do i rubber band audio?

i am tryin to bleep out swear words, and i have applied tone, but need to rubber band the bits of audio to lower them slightly, as i can still clearly hear the words coming through, i dont even know how to see the rubber banding on the timeline

For your bleeping, though, you might do better by "cutting in" the tone right over the offending word
Lock down your video track, use In and Out to define the bad word in the audio track and Overwrite the bleep .. that way you are getting rid of the voice endtirely

Need rubber band text effect

I want to make a series of text titles zoom out and then stretch in the middle as they reach full size like a rubber band having over stretched and then pinging back into place in CS4. I have looked through the text animation presets and can't find anything there so looks like I need to build the effect from scratch.
Need to know what are the basic steps I need to take to manipulate text in this way?
Thx
Kevin

This is fairly easy to do with an expression. Dan Ebbberts has a couple of examples that would work. The first is explained in the "It's a Fact Jack" part of this page. You would apply the expression to the X scale property. Just change the y to an x then write the final line [x, 100]
If that doesn't do it for you try looking at Dan's Elastic Connection page. You could tie the x scale of the text to a null then animate the null's position to get your elastic effect.
The most direct option is to just animate the X scale by hand. It may take you a few tries to get the exact look you want.

Mavericks: disable rubber band scroll bouncing

Now that I have to use Mavericks every day in the office, the insipid rubber band scroll bouncing is simply maddening.
It's distracting, annoying, useless and a constant drain on focus.
Please, for the love of cute puppies, does anyone know how to turn this off?
Sadly, defaults write -g NSScrollViewRubberBanding -int 0 has no effect in Mavericks, while it did before in previous OSes.
Honestly, just a setting to turn off all the sliding, popping, jumping, darting, swooping graphics and cascading NSOutlineViews would make me actually enjoy using the Mac again.
I want to get work done, not get distracted by excess motion all over my screen.
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

I have tried multiple terminal commands as well. It worked for Chrome, but my Mail messages are driving me nuts bouncing all over the place! There must be way to turn this off!
Just tried Tinker Tools which is supposed to remove bounce in all apps (except Safari) and it didn't work for Mail either. It's almost unuseable this way unless I want a headache after reading 5 messages. Stupid Apple.

Brush mode: Tone curve, etc

Well, I'm new for LR, I'm trying to tweak a certain part in the photo by using Tone curve and else, but I don't think the LR would allow me to do that in the "Brush Mode", am I correct?
Because, I need to change some parts in the photo by increasing only red or green or blue, or even highlight and shadow, but I can't do that like Aperture in Mac. Or I do miss any feature control panel in the LR?
Seem like the LR would not give flexibility when working in Brush Mode, is this correct?

I understand.
When I first tried Lightroom (1.4), I was a bit disappointed with the scope of the develop tools available (and did not buy it). When Lightroom 2 included Clarity and Locals it was a big improvement (and I bought it and started using it along with Nx2 & DxO & Photoshop), but it still seemed lean compared to some raw converters (Nx2 as example). I mean, what Lightroom does it does well, for the most part, but full-featured develop tools can not really be touted...
Lr3 is known as the release when Lightroom became a true professional-grade development tool in my opinion: image quality + lens corrections. I applaud Adobe's decision to do just that. No more front-ending with DxO or Nx2 or DPP or CaptureOnePro, or Photoshop + Noise Ninja... I love Lr3 .
Still, I'm hoping Lr4 is known as the release when Lightroom comes of age, develop-module-wise... (distraction removal, more locals, signature auto-masking technology, better color adjustment including rgb curves, ..., and of course fixing of highlight recovery). No more doing without or frequently processing with a pixel editor after basic adjustments in Lightroom... If they do this, I will really-really love Lr4 .
Then in Lr5, Faces & Places & GPS & Collages & HDR & Layers & DLNA Servers & Networked Catalogs, or whatever... - I wont care... (yeah right .

CS4: rubber-band option missing using pen tool

I'm missing the rubber band option using the pen tool. I often used that feature in earlier versions. But CS4 Extended seems to not have it anymore. Help tells me it should be in the options palette once you activate the pen tool. I don't have it, though. How can I access that option? Thanx.

... and the same place as CS1. I found it. I was looking for a checkbox and didn't try to click on the small triangle next to the pen-tools. Thanks!

How can I disable rubber band scrolling?

How can I disable rubber band scrolling?

hm...
I'm having an issue with a bouncing or "creeping" effect when I type in TextEdit; after having ugraded to Snow Leopard.
I'm now cross-posting a bit, I can't find my way around here; doing the best I can:
While typing in an rtfd new file, as I'm on the first line, the page starts creeping down until it's the very bottom line. When I get to the end of the line and it wraps, the page jumps up to about 5 or 6 lines and each few letters I type on the new line cause it to creep back down so it's the bottom line, until I get to the end of the next line, where I get a 5-6-line jump again, and then the creep again. This has to be one of the most annoying things ever, and makes me want to go get a different text editor. I use TextWrangler, but I've become used to TextEdit for quick things, and for a few specific things, but now I'm not loving it anymore.
Help please?

No rubber bands on audio tracks

Weird thing. I can't see the rubber bands on individual audio clips after setting them to "show clip volume". If I set them to "show track volume" they appear. The problematic tracks seem to be in left and right channels when they were originally recorded in mono on zoom H1's and H2's. Any ideas?

I can't reproduce this.
Try creating a new sequence and Copy/Paste everything into that.

Wacom and rubber banding the audio

Anybody else - Wacom users - having issues with rubber banding the audio using a Wacom? It's very unresponsive for me, as well as a few other areas within Premeire. Can't recall off hand, but the rubber banding is a big issue.
Any tips or fixes for this?
Thanks!

How do I disable elastic (rubber band) scrolling in Safari 8 for Yosemite?

I've Googled and found tons of responses for 10.9 (no luck), and 10.8 (defaults commands), but I didn't see anything Yosemite-specific.
This is driving me nuts, any solution would be acceptable, even third party apps, CLI commands, what-have you. If it's relevant, I'm using an MBP's trackpad.
Example of what I'm talking about:

The worst part about the rubber banding is it blocks you from scrolling until it snaps back. It's infuriating!

Can't uncheck "Enable Rubber Band for Pen and Curvature Tool" in Preferences

Can't uncheck "Enable Rubber Band for Pen and Curvature Tool" in Preferences. Anyone else have this problem?

jartist,
You may try the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
