So they removed Pattern maker, and the Extract filters from Photoshop CS4

Personally I hardly ever used these, but did occasionally. I was wondering how this is going to affect others?
I don't see how removing two items from the filters menu makes much difference to anything. Maybe its more of a launch time issue, although I'm not sure that taking functionality away just to have fraction of a second faster launch, is a little daft.
They are still included on the CD, but this is going to inconvenience me if I ever need them in a freelance role. There were problems with both of them: When I first saw extract, it was almost as if the engineeers themselves hadn't woken up to non destructive editing. And pattern maker lacks the most obvious features, and doesn't perform particularly well. They are also both slow and cumbersome to use.
But
they do have other occasional uses beyond what they were (admittedly quite badly) designed for, especially pattern maker for reintroducing sampled texture sourced from the image. I don't see much replacement for this

Regarding "Extract" and "PatternMaker":
If you really need them right now, just add the CS3 plug-ins into CS4 they will work as they always have.
Actually, John Nack has stated that those old plug-ins will be downloadable from the Adobe site if you need them.
>We've bitten the bullet with this release and have sent a number of features into retirement. Extract, Pattern Maker, Web Photo Gallery, Contact Sheet, Picture Package, and PDF Presentation have been removed from the default installation.
>
The latter four have been replaced by the Output module in Bridge CS4, and our intention is to replace Extract with features inside Photoshop (building on Refine Edge & more). All of these except PDF Presentation will remain available as optional installs (to be posted on Adobe.com), but over time they'll be phased out.
[Emphasis mine.]

  • How do I remove "printinvoicesRedirect.jsp and the https file from printed invoices

    I am printing invoices and a line of test appears on top and bottom of sheet. Top left reads "printinvoicesRedirect.jsp" - Top right reads "https:// (then adds the website I'm printing from.
    The bottom of the sheet prints "1 of xx" and date and time. How do I remove these from my customers invoices?

    I'm guessing the page is a PDF, and it is being displayed in the new Firefox 19 PDF Viewer? Unfortunately, there is currently no way to suppress headers and footers in the PDF Viewer without changing Page Setup globally.

  • Extract and Pattern Maker filters in Photoshop CS4?

    What happened to the Extract and Pattern Maker filters in Photoshop CS4? Are they gone or placed somewhere else?

    Hi guys,
    I might be an old fart! But I love extract... Are there any other way to make transparent pixels on the edges on the object you want cut out?
    Personally I cry at night for the semi-loss of Extract! This means that Adobe wont improve it any more and with time the filter might be all gone!?!
    cheers

    As Dah•veed said, you can delete an app on one divice, and still have it stay on another. The syncing only applies for downloaing apps when you have "Sync Purchases" enabled for the App Store. This goes for the iTunes, iBooks, and Podcasts apps as well.

    Ah, ok. I was in the assumption the PCI connect had something to do with the video connection. But it seems like Apple wanted to reinvented PCIe...
    I'm out of my territory here so feel free to ignore the following.
    These are the things I notice in your Xorg.0.log:

    What the hell is modesetting doing there?
    And have you tried the nvidia blob? It could be that this is not well supported by nouveau. Maybe check up with their IRC / mailing list.

    I wish to remove "Show sidebar" and "Show Top Sites" from the Favorites Bar in Safari 7.0. How may I do so?

    I aggree It's rather annoying that you can't remove these features when like me you never use them, however by far the most annoying part of this is that when you go into 'Customize Toolbar' you can actually add yet a second 'Show Top Sites' feature to the toolbar !! Even those people who actually want to use this feature don't require two of them. For crying-out-loud come on Apple, this has to be a joke right?!?

  • I have macbook air and the first buttons from ,esc to power, make different orders what can i do ?

    i have macbook air and the first buttons from ,esc to power, make different orders what can i do ?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    The behavior of those buttons (and other key shortcuts) can be set/changed in System Preferences->Keyboard:Keyboard Shortcuts button.
    If you are missing the power button shutdown option from Mavericks OS 10.9x the workaround is control-power button or hold the power button down longer that poking (sleep) but not as long as force shutdown (crash).

  • My iTunes was working fine, all my CDs would import fully and quickly. Now they are importing slowly and when the CDs get to the last track they don't import and the CD drive just keeps spinning without doing anything! How can I fix this?

    My iTunes was working fine, all my CDs would import fully and quickly. Now they are importing slowly and when the CDs get to the last track they don't import and the CD drive just keeps spinning without doing anything! How can I fix this?
    I don't want to have to restart or reinstall my iTunes again as I'll have to redo all my playlists etc

    Likely that CD then. Check visually for damage, blemishes, etc., not that there's anything you can really do about those other than return the CD.
    The drive sits there and spins because it is trying to re-read the CD.  iTunes has error correction which is contributing to all this re-reading, I believe, and you may be able to disable that in preferences if you aren't picky about the result.
    You can also try other rippers such as Max or XLD.  I know those have configurable error correction.  I like XLD but it is slightly tricky to use until you find that for some reason the author has put all settings under preferences, not just the set once and forget ones.

  • Where is the extract filter in photoshop cs5?

    Where is the extract filter in photoshop cs5?  Thanks

    from an Adobe Tech Sheet:
    Photoshop CS5 can be run as a 64-bit application on Mac OS, 10.5.7 and higher. Because of the changes that were made to the application, some plug-ins are not available when you run Photoshop CS5 either as a 32-bit or a 64-bit application. To work with these plug-ins, run Photoshop CS5 as a 32-bit application, then when you are done using these plug-ins, return to working in Photoshop CS5 as a 64-bit application.
    If you copy old plug-ins from previous versions of Photoshop, or third-party plug-ins that are not compatible with Photoshop CS5, into Photoshop CS5's Plug-in folder, you may see different problems, such as errors or crashes.
    If you have set the Additional Plug-Ins Folder in the Plug-Ins preferences to a folder, deselect this option, or make sure all the plug-ins in this folder are compatible with Photoshop CS5.
    The easiest way to determine if third-party, old plug-ins, or plug-ins from previous versions of Photoshop are causing problems is to move them all into a new folder called "3rd Party plug-ins."
    If this folder is outside the Photoshop/Plug-Ins folder, you can use the Additional Plug-Ins Folder Plug-In preference to allow Photoshop to access or not access the plug-ins in this folder.
    If this folder is inside the Photoshop/Plug-Ins folder, disable the plug-ins by renaming the folder by putting a tilde (~) as the first character in the folder name.
    Plug-ins not supported by Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS, running in 64-bit mode:
    Lighting Effects
    Extract (Use Refine Mask under the Selection menu)
    Variations
    Web Contact Sheet II (Web Photo Gallery)
    TWAIN support will work on some scanners
    Video Preview
    Send Video Preview to Device
    Embed / Read Watermark
    Firewire
    Firewire DLL
    To run Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS as a 32-bit application, select the Adobe Photoshop CS5 application file, installed by default in the Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5 folder. Choose File > Get Info, and select Open in 32 Bit Mode. Deselect this option to run Photoshop CS5 in 64-bit mode.
    To determine if a plug-in causes an error or crash, remove all old or third-party plug-ins from the Adobe Photoshop CS5 > Plug-Ins folder, and deselect Additional Plug-ins Folder in the Photoshop > Preferences > Plug-Ins preference.

  • How can I remove multiple copies of the same song from the iTunes listing?

    How can I remove multiple copies of the same song from the iTunes listing. The program seems to be picking up the same songs from, for example, my user area and my public area in the C drive

    As above, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library, however it is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve/merge ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

    shoo: if i had to do that for every file i get  i would go insane, as scott said, post contract: files that they (sub contractor) supply you, presume them ok unless you KNOW otherwise, or a copyright flag pops up contradicting ownership.
