Scroll to adjust sliders

Hi folks.
I've been reading online that lightroom has the ability to control sliders in the develop module by simply hovering over the slider and scrolling. However this doesn't appear to be working for me. Whenever I hover over a slider and scroll, Lightroom attempts to scroll the right panel.
My system configuration:
Mac
OSx mountain lion
Lightroom 4 (latest update)
tried for raw and JPG files
tried using the macbook pro 2 finger scroll, a microsoft USB mouse and a MacAlley USB mouse
is there anything special I need to do to make this work?
Thank in advance!
Sam.

No, Lr doesn't do that.
But you have several ways to work with the sliders:
a) You can just drag them by the "handle";
b) you can click on the name of a slider and modify it with the +/- key;
c) you can click on the number field to the right of the slider, so that the field is highlighted. Then you can either just enter a number with the keyboard; or you can use the up / down arrows to increase / decrease the values (Shift + arrow increases / decreases in larger increments);
d) you can click on the numbers field and - while holding the mouse button down - drag with the mouse left or right. Your cursor will change to a hand icon with left / right arrow.This will slow down the sliders so that you can make a fine-tuned adjustment. This is called "scrubby sliders".
It might be that you meant this last option as "scrolling".

Use scroll wheel to adjust sliders

Would like to adjust sliders via mouse scroll wheel. I've tried on a variety of sliders and none seem to work
Yes I've found keys to adjust, but would prefer not to remove hand from mouse so often.
Win 7
Photoshop CC 2014 32bit
Logitech mouse

If you mean by clicking on the arrow, bringing up the actual slider. No, that doesn't work. I've tried clicking various parts of the slider itself to no avail.
Have tried on numerous different adjustments, labels, filters in case that it only works on some.

Wrong image preview while I am moving adjustment sliders in Aperture

When I move adjustment sliders, a different recently and previosly adjusted image will frequently show in the viewer while the slider is being moved. Sometimes parts of two or more previous images will appear and sometimes in the wrong orientation. This makes it makes it impossible to see the result of the adjustment until I release the slider which is annoying. I cannot reliably replicate the problem but it happens often. It seems random as if the wrong image is in a cache and not refreshing properly.
Details:
MacPro (New) 6-core 32GB RAM, D300 Graphics OS X
Aperture 3.5.1
Moved Library from old machine (2007 MacPro) and rebuilt library
250K images all referenced
Library is big (236GB)
Files are RAW Canon 5dMk3 and tend to be about 30MB
Preferences:
Import: standard previews
Previews: generate automatically and share when quitting (half size medium quality)
library created new previews for all images when I rebuilt it
machine will run processor and memory hard, sometimes around 90%
Might it be a poor choice of preference settings or a corrupt library? Anyone else ever experience this condition? I would appreciate any suggestions.

On a conceptual level, it should not be a problem, but a Preview is related to a Version, and a Version is related to one Original/Master. There can be multiple Versions, all of which must point to a single Original.
You are not adjusting a Preview, but rather a Version. What you see as you adjust is a new rendering of the Version, and is not the Preview you saw when you decided to adjust, I believe.
There are on the order of 8 or 9 other files related to every Original even if only one Version in the Package that is the Library. Very complex indexing going on at all times.
Please open an image, and before attempting to adjust, click on File, and choose Show in Finder -- is the Finder image the correct one? And in the correct location?
Now attempt to adjust. Does the image change? If so, again us Show in Finder and check.

What is happening to my Aperture adjustment sliders?

After the Lion upgrade, Aperture adjustment sliders are buggy. I can adjust an image, but when I go to the next image, the slider either has no effect or it alters the previous image I just left. The only "fix" I have found is to exit Aperture and relaunch.
HELP!

Unless you give us the URL we can't possible begin to help.

Lost adjustment sliders exposure ,highlights,shadows,ect.

I was working in develop module version 5.7 and lost me adjustment sliders,all the top sliders are gone from hue ,sat, luminance up. the are not collapsed or nothing they are just gone?

You've inadvertently hidden the panel. Right click one of the panel headings, and tick the Adjustments option.

Changing adjustment sliders colous

I don't know if I missed anything but when using PSE 10 I find that many of the adjustment sliders are very difficult too see. For instance if you use the spot healing tool you basically have a black slider on a black background. Is there a way around this?

I fear there is no way to change the UI of the PSE
But PSE11 is with all new UI and bigger fonts and sliders. Why don't you go ahead and try its trail

Snap Adjustment Sliders Back To 0?

In iPhoto '11 is there a way to get the Adjust sliders to snap back to 0? Is there some kind of key you can hold down to do this? Or is the only way to simply drag an Adjustment slider manually back to 0?
Thanks

I have no solution for that - but I get what you're saying.
What I would do, and I don't know if this would work for you, is create a playlist of podcasts, arrange them in the order you want to listen.    I know you can drag podcasts into playlists like you would with any song, and iTunes will treat them like songs - you can sort them by date added or name.        Stupid to have to workaround when it worked fine before, but this would quickly get you to the podcast you were listening to.      The "resume playback from where you left off" function will still work if you do it this way.
This is another bullet point in the long list of what's wrong with iTune11.     Today on a song I was trying to get to "show in finder", I accidentally let go on "show in iTunes store" instead.    iTunes rocketed to the store, and there was no way for me to get back to what I had been looking at before - it required conducting the same search all over again.       I don't recall this being a problem in earlier versions of iTunes, you could go back.
Good luck !

Does anyone know why my lightroom adjustment sliders do not change the photo?

Does anyone know why my lightroom adjustment sliders do not respond or do anything to change my photo. The sliders are not working?

Camera Raw - Adjusting sliders with scroll wheel

In Lightroom you can adjust the sliders with the scroll wheel. Is there any way to do this in Camera Raw? Or can I change the amount that is changed with the up/down arrows?

It's not hard to imagine the software team finding lots of other important things to work on.
Maybe they're not hearing people ask for this specific feature very much. Perhaps you should make an impassioned plea over at: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family

Parallax scrolling not adjusting to different browser size, help?

Hello everyone,
I am putting together this parallax website, http://natashajackson.businesscatalyst.com/index.html and it works on my 15 in mac book, but does not adjust size for smaller or larger screens. I can't seem to make the timing for all the "scrolling effects" line up for all browser sizes.
I have watched many muse tutorials and have figured out how to avoid horizontal scrolling, but again, it only appears to be working on my 15 in book.
The below photo shows my layout properties. Any magical tips that I am missing? I look forward to your feedback!
Thank you

Hey manna9er I was able to figure out the 100% browser width and it turned out to be pretty simple. At first I was "Placing" my images into muse and scaling them to the width of browser, and it never was 100% width. I found that you cannot "Place" you must use the "Rectangle Tool" and create box the width of the browser, make sure that it is 100% browser width, the border line turns red and a tool tip informs you, as seen in image)
Next use the "Fill" option on your top menu bar-->select "Choose Image Background"--> upload image file-->scale to whatever size/style you want. (see image below)
For parallax go to Window-->scroll effects--> and play with Motion, Initial Motion, Key Point and Final Motion. Parallax takes some toying with to get desired effect.
Hope this helps

Spacebar-alt to have auto pop auto collapse HUD of tool relevant adjustment sliders

spacebar allows me to drag the document around, right next to it, as an option I`d like to see spacebar-alt for an instant pop up dialogue or heads up display, over the mouse for tool specific adjustments, (right now its "enter")
but I`d like to see it as "auto collapse", so as soon as I let go of alt and just use the spacebar to move the image around the pop up with sliders disappears,
the pop would have sliders for dynamic update to stroke size, transparency, lightmode, all as dynamic live update sliders except for lightmodes (drop down) on the popup, for pencil, brushes, erasor,
for warp tools, individual stroke size, pressure and angle sliders, intensity, detail, simplify,
For symbols, diameter, intensity, symbol set density sliders.
why I like it
more intuitive, speed up and increase work "FLOW" and focus as its all right there at where your focusing and working.
not having to open dialogues and click drop downs or enter numbers.
the pop up HUD would be semi transparent except for the sliders and number values to see the dynamic live update results below of the selected object.
also a check box option on the pop up for live update of selected object or objects below, or not update selected object

pencil tool,
hud:
pencil tool is something I use a LOT for obvious reasons, but pressing enter to open the dialogue box takes me away from my visualization and flow, its like slowing down for a road bump.
with the HUD using spacebar alt, it would be provide a smoother non intrusive adjustment to settings for my user experience, as I use the pen tablet and the space bar on the keyboard to pan around, so my hand is already on the spacebar, just using my "pinky" little finger with "alt" and other on spacebar can activate HUD and adjust fidelity, smoothness and "edit selected paths", I use these 3 a LOT when drawing depending on what phase of the drawing I`m in and what part, what kind of lines I am creating... would make the drawing experience less "start stop" and feel more just gliding as I make adjustments with alt spacebar to settings.
if you have used Zbrush from pixologic you will know what I mean by adjusting tools with HUD pop up sliders, and theirs doesnt seem to bring the computer to a grinding halt like when I use the colour picker HUD in photoshop with openGL..

Aperture 2.1 Sluggish Exposure Adjustment Sliders

Description of Problem:
1. When the Straighten Brick is applied to an image being adjusted, the Exposure Brick sliders become erratic and do not track mouse movement or the Wacom Tablet Stylus tip.
2. This condition substantially worsens when the Highlights and Shadows Brick sliders are also applied to the image simultaneously.
3. A similar condition appears with the combination of Crop and Highlights and Shadows.
4. This condition is so severe that I took my Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon with 4 Gig's of Apple Ram and NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256 Vram Computer to the Apple Store Genius Bar for diagnosis and possible repair.
5. After my having demonstrated the problem, the Genius Team took my set of internal hard drives out of my computer and installed them in a brand new Mac Pro in the Apple Store, where the problem persisted, thus eliminating my hardware as part of the the problem.
6. It was then suggested to me by the Genius Team that I create a new Aperture Library, trash my Aperture Preferences and re-import my images into the new Library. The sluggish and erratic Exposure sliders problem persisted!
7. I then, on my own, created a third Aperture Library and imported only a few images. As long as the Straighten Brick is not part of the adjustment pallet, the Exposure Brick sliders behave normally, tracking the mouse or Wacom Tablet Stylus Pen tip.
However, when the Crop and or Straighten Bricks are added or combined with the Highlights and Shadows Brick sliders, the Exposure and White Balance sliders become erratic, sluggish and nearly useless.
Of note, the Enhance sliders, however, are unaffected by the above combination of Adjustment Bricks.
8. I then tested this scenario on both the 2 x 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon and 2 x 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro models in the Apple Store, with extremely similar results. The later, 3.2 GHz Mac Pro with the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB Video card installed and having 4 Gigs of Ram.
9. I tested the scenario with my images as well as with the the sample images installed within the Aperture Application Library, both with identical results.
10. Clearly, this phenomena is a defect in the Aperture Software, as it can easily be demonstrated independently of specific Apple hardware, and as it is very common to apply the Straighten, Crop, Highlights and Shadows adjustments to an image, renders the Aperture Application useless, as an effective workflow solution. A Professional Photographer cannot guess at the Exposure settings and or wait and hope for the adjustment slider to track mouse movement while it jumps around erratically in the process.

What you're doing simply requires more calculations than your processor can perform in an acceptable amount of time. The tradeoff of the non-destructive image editor is that every transformation you apply has to be recalculated and effectively re-applied every single time you make any change to any one of them on the stack. Given the average size of a modern camera raw file, this gets very expensive very quickly.
There are certainly ways of caching intermediate data in the interest of drawing speed, but the white balance and exposure sliders fundamentally change every aspect of the image data's interpretation and are some of the most expensive operations you can possibly perform. Not only does it have to loop through every single pixel in the image to calculate the various gamma encodings you ask it to with every little nudge of the slider, but it also has to rotate them all by however much you've asked the straighten tool to. Top that off with the fact that Aperture has never been widely regarded as a "speed demon" and you've got laggy sliders.
Try Lightroom. You'll probably find it lags at times, too.
Now try sharpening a 1MB file in Photoshop 2 running on a Quadra. Not so long ago we had to wait hours for every single trivial adjustment to our low res and completely unprintable images to complete only to discover that it wasn't what we wanted at all. This wasn't a defect, it was the result of pushing the available technology beyond its limits. I have no doubt that Aperture could and should be optimized significantly, but the fact of the matter is that artists will always find ways to saturate the bandwidth of any computer on the market, however powerful.

SG Hangs when Adjusting Sliders

I just started using Speed Grade, When I try to move the sliders Speed Grade hangs, and ultimately crashes.
I have two graphics: NVIDIa GeForce GT 730M and Intel HD graphics 4600. I don't have either nVidia SDI nor Mercury Transmit.
It looks like Speedgrade does not recognize my NVidia grpahics Card. When I disable the Intel graphics card SG says that my graphics is not installed, so it does not recognize the NVidia card. How do I make it recognize the NVidia card?
Or Am I missing something that would make this sofware run correctly?

Scroll down and there's a section on "unlocking" one's video card, and under the laptop-section, includes your card. I've not done this, but I know quite a few posts around here have been on people unlocking their card so PrPro, Sg, or Ae/Fx will see it ... this might be what you need.

Adjustment Sliders Unresponsive with specific Presets ...

I have noticed a problem with making adjustments using the parameter sliders located in the Inspector. The odd thing is that it only happens when working with H.264 or MPEG-2 presets.
For example: The Apple TV preset, listed under Apple Devices - I cannot mouse over a slider and make an adjustment as normal. As soon as I attempt to do so, I get a spinning beach ball that lasts about 5 seconds. Subsequently, the slider sort of pops over to a random setting. It's impossible to achieve accurate results.
The same holds true if I attempt to key in specific numerical parameter - hesitation - beach ball, etc.
I set up various presets using basic QT settings using codecs like Sorenson 3 and others, and the sliders function as normal.
Can someone try this and please let me know if you are experiencing similar issues?
Thanks.

Nomad Jukebox scroll buttons adjust the volume - I can't scroll up or d

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my Nomad? I can't make any selections because every time I press the scroll down/up buttons I adjust the volume (that's what the screen indicates). How do I fix this? I loaded the latest firmware from the Creative web site.

Which Jukebox do you have? If it's the original Jukebox, it's probably because you got the beta firmware (JBFW40J_298J_Dual_BETA.exe), it changes the navigation of the player. There are two firmwares included in the file, if you don't like the navigation one uses, you can try the other firmware.
