Suggestions for ACE, Next week is my exam

Hi All, I'm taking my first ACE exam in Photoshop CS6 on coming Saturday. Any suggestions, tips are warmly welcome. Currently I'm reading Photoshop help and and a book called Photoshop classroom in a book. Will that be enough?

Dave,
you've got to have at least one assistant with you to help you set up and just do simple stuff while you talk to the people about the shots you wanna get ( eg...he sets up camera on legs roughly where its supposed to be for that shot , while you talk to workers, make them feel comfortable, make them feel like they are "contributing" to the ideas of how best to get the shot(s).  In other words, have assistant deal with helping you with the equipment ( cause its gonna feel weird to the workers seeing that "camera" ....and that they will be in front of lens ---scared if they look OK and can suck in their stomach enough etc )...so while you make them feel comfortable and deal with simple stuff with "actors"...you assistant can deal with equip setup...
And this is the main thing the asst does once you go to camera to do a rehearsal with the people you just talked to about the shot...( cause you are still directing at this point ..talking to them...walking them through the "shot"...)...you asst has a 4 foot x 4 foot bounce ..and gives you every inch of light and highlight he can from that to your subject...   beadboard styrofoam with silver back gives you a TON of that little extra light to make a big difference in the shots....either putting an extra 1/2 stop into the "work area" ( if tight shots of hand working on materials from ceiling sodium vapor lamps or flourescents or tungsten etc )...you can get that asst to just bring that "focus" area up a little to make all the difference in showing audience what they are DOING with their hands or equipment etc.
so , in a word....asst with bounces....silver and gold and black& white "showcards" ( google showcard for film )...and a 4x4 beadboard bounce...can use soft white side or can blast a lot into areas with silver side...

    Not true at all.
    I listen to music on my iphone all the time.
    It is your position that anyone who does not agree with you does not listen to music?
    Really?
    What a leap.

  • ICan't ReInstall my computer  please help. need to use Mac for school next week

    I use my Mac for School and stuff happened.
    Long story short.
    1) I tried to reset my Mac Book Pro  computer and I did.( by pressing option key and go to disk utility and erase tab and erase)
    2) then I know I was supposed to go to Reinstall OS X Lion and I did but I quit. (took 10 hrs and plus my internet is bad and couldn't DL the other stuff)
    3) I remembered that I had a recovery disk. so I inserted it and I went to the disk utility, dragged the Macintosh HD to the restore tab, destination, and it copied my recovery disk data? to my Machintosh HD and the name of it changed to Mac OS X Base System ( the name of my recovery disk)
    4) and I tried to restart, shut down my computer, it sends me to the same Mac OS Utilities. Again.
    5) so I went to Reinstall Mac OS Lion, agreed, and the download destination usually should be the Macintosh HD ( for me its Mac OS X Base System right now) but it said it is locked (because I'm dumb) and i can't install it now.
    6) i don't know what to do now because this is not my computer that I'm sending this support from. and I can't use my original Mac Book. what should I do?
    AND I NEED TO USE THE MAC NEXT WEEK FOR SCHOOL.
    more info: MacBook Pro 13 inch Late 2011 ( got it for christmas)
    OS 10.7.5 ( recovery disk is 10.7.2)
    had no problems for 2 years.
    Why is Internet bad? Japan. thats why.
    For those who wonder why I wanted to reset/restore my MacBook Pro or, want to hear the long story:
    I play League of Legends, Steam, Osu! on my Mac and it took alot of capacity (or space).
    And League of Legends has thisthing called "Item sets" that when you save it, it doesnt save it in the client (or app),  it saves the "item sets" data in your computer (took alot of capacity/space)
    Not just that, and I had iPhoto but when i downloaded iLife to my mac, and after that, it said my iPhoto is damaged and it can't open.
    And summer ended, my parents said If I fail my 11th grade, they are going to kick me out so I told them I'm going to reset my Mac to factory settings and get a fresh start, well this happened.

    hi there! I got it back to work by buying the USB version of Mac OS X Lion 10.7
    and since my internet connections are kinda bad, I'm not able to download and update it to 10.7.5.
    but anyways I got it back to work.
    All I can say is I suggest you to buy the USB version of Mac OS X Lion 10.7 from amazon or apple store.

  • Calendar: Can you add an event for just 'NEXT' week?

    Often I'll need to repeat an event next week at the same time.
    In iOS calendar, there are options to repeat an event Every Day, Week, 2 weeks, month and year.
    I would like to repeat an event Next Week
    Is there no way to simply way to do this without having to re-input the information?
    I'd love to simply cut and paste if possible.

    Thanks for the quick response...
    Maybe I'm just blind, but I don't see any option showing 'end repeat'.
    Frankly, I don't even see the option that would allow me to select 'next week'
    All I see is the option with the word EVERY day, week, etc...

  • A suggestion for the next upgrade.

    When I want to separate my iPod I of course select the "eject" on the screen. However there are times when I just want to eject and keep the iPod connected (recharging, seeing what's on the iPod since the new upgrade took that away, listen to my tunes that won't skip). If I want to reconnect though I have to physically remove the cable and reattach. For the next upgrade couldn’t you have an icon at the top that shows the status of the iPod, say a pair of plugs connected and in blue, then when disconnected they’re separate and in yellow, so that if I wanted to reconnect I can just press the icon and it reconnects through software? Thanks.

  • Is there a way to up forward a suggestion for the next software update?

    I had my iphone stolen the other night and I was just wondering if we can put forward a suggestion towards the next software update.
    I've been thinking that you should only be able to turn the phone off if the phone is unlocked (if there is a passcode lock then you should have to enter this before being able to turn the phone off)
    If a phone is stolen the first thing people do is turn the phone off, but if this isn't so easy to do then people may still be able to find their phone using the find my iphone app which can only be used when phone is on
    Hop someone can help, thanks

  • Calendar object for the next week day

    I have a calendar object,
    How can I get the calendar object the comes on the next Tuesday or for that matter any week day.
    For example I have the calendar object for today ie. Monday, 7th Aug 2006. How can I get the calendar object for the first saturday after today.

    What you do is calculate how many days ahead it is.
    This would be the target day, less today's day
    reduced to modulo 7. Add 7 to guarantee the %
    operator works correctly e.g.
    cal.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR,(7 + Calendar.SATURDAY -
    cal.get(DAY_OF_WEEK)) % 7);
    Requires that the numeric values associated with the days of the week are ordered and one apart. Even thought this is the case, the API does not say this is the case so it should not be assumed.

  • Up data for the next week or just let it go over?

    Everyone on my plan except my poor son has unlimited data - he became old enough to have a phone too late.  He is going out of town on a school trip on Thursday and is thisclose to bumping up against his data limit (which happens every month).  Normally I wouldn't do anything, but I do want him to be able to use his phone/data on the trip.  I can't find an easy way to up his data online.  Not being on hold for 30 minutes for customer service is worth something to me as well.  Should I up his data amount or just let him run over a GB?  Are we talking either $10 (to up his data plan) or $15 (to go over his data)?  I'll pay an extra $5 not to have to call them.  And then have to call them back when our new billing cycle starts in a week - LOL.

    My son has had a phone for 2+ years now, so he is well versed in using wifi when it is available.  However, we live in a rural area and wifi options are not plentiful.  His biggest drain, I think, is that he won't use his high school's wifi because he says it's crap.  Not sure I believe that, but he understands the consequences (running out of data before the end of our billing cycle) and normally lives with them without complaining.  In this one case, I want him to have data even though he's used his allotment up for the month.  We are on a nationwide plan and our billing month ends on the 6th.
    If what mrniceguy says is accurate, my choices are to call them and pay $20 and have to call them back to lower it again, or do nothing and pay $10.  In that case, I choose to do nothing and spend less money. :-)
    I have usage controls set for him, so I went in and bumped up his limit usage to close to 3 GB and will go back in May 7 or soon after and put it back to where it is normally.
    Our family must be data hogs.  I don't use a lot of data because we have home wifi and I also connect to my employer's wifi; my husband's job does not have wifi so he's a pretty big user; and my daughter, who is in college but lives off campus, routinely uses ~12 GB of data every month.
    We will stay on this plan as long as possible, and know that if we want new phones, we will have to pay full price.  We also have all the phones fully insured so that if something happens to one of our phones, we don't have to drop $500+ until we are ready to. I am going to look into moving my son to Straight Talk so that he can have unlimited data too, and if he doesn't see any negative changes, we will all switch.  No reason to pay so much more every month for the same product.
    Thanks for the replies!

  • Tomorrow is my last day online for the next week.

    Thanks.  Actually it's kind of made me stressful this week because there were things I wanted to do and changes I wanted to make, but I'm not going to make any substantial changes and then do a vanishing act for a week.  I just don't like doing that.
    2 of my coworkers are then out of town at a conference the day after I get back for a week and then one on vacation for a week so it will be an interesting 3 weeks coming up.
    I think I worry more about going to Spiceworld, because they will be able to reach me :)

    Going to be completely unplugged for a week starting Saturday night.  I am not looking forward to my e-mail accumulation while I am gone.
    If you've never done it, go someplace where there's no internet access for a week.  Where you can't check your phone, even if you wanted to.  Be careful however, you might enjoy it too much. :)

  • A few suggestions for the next version of Acrobat.

    Every time I use a portfolio in Acrobat, I have to click through a large number of folders
    Although many of them have no content.
    It would be good if there would be a number of the documents on the folder .So I would not have to open the folder, if there would be no document at all.

    1) Drag&Drop. A simple drag&drop in Pages: select a text, drag&drop it somewhere else.
    I've been doing this for years in AppleWorks & Pages (1, 2 & 3) & Mail, etc. The trick is to hold the cursor on the selected text for a second or so until the cursor changes to an arrow, then move the text.
    2) Option-left or right arrow, bring us to the next word. How about Command-left or right key, to take us to the end or beginning of the line (like in Word).
    Again, this has been in AppleWorks & Pages & Mail, etc. for years. Also, Command + up arrow goes to the top of the document, Command + down arrow goes to the end. Option + up or down arrow goes to the beginning of the previous or next paragraph.
    I don't know why these wouldn't work for you.
    #3, I'm not sure. Why don't you ask in the Numbers forum?

  • Suggestion for the next update

    WebOS 1.4.0 had some great improvements...but there is one other improvement I would love to see. If you receive a text message or email with an address, it would be nice to be able to tap and hold the address and have the ability to use that address with Sprint Navigator. This way Sprint Navigator would open automatically and the desired address is already populated. I really hope Palm can add this type of feature.

    Good idea. Suggest using the official palm Feature Request page here. www.palm.com/feedback

  • Suggestion for the next version of Safari

    Hi folks, hope some programmer read this topic
    I think that Safari should have some function that allows the user to manage a webpage like if it was an editable text.
    From long time ago, Internet is *The Source of Knowledge*, it's a huge library where we can study but we cannot highlight the text on the webpages and save it like we can do with a text file. So, if we take a webpage as a page of some study book, we should be able to highlight text and why not, converting normal fonts to bold, italic, underlined or changing text size and color in the selected text in order to pop up certain parts of the text. Just like when we're writing into a text file or like when we're writing in forums using HTML codes to modify how the text will look. And also, why not adding the ability to add some notes in order to write some commentaries we may have about the lecture?
    I find pretty useful saving to my favs certain webpages that I usually consult when I need it, and I also do it in categories, thanks to the amazing folder structure that Safari has, but I also need to highlight some part of the text found in the webpages in order to make it easy to find that part of text that I need in a particular moment. Due that any Internet Browser allows these kind of things, I'm forced to copy the content of the website to a text document and there, doing the modifications but by doing it that way, it creates too much text files that I have to browse through folders and sub-folders while inside Safari, browsing webpages is much easier, faster and comfortable.
    I think this maybe possible by adding some kind of layout over the webpage (like a virtual copy of the webpage), because the webpage isn't editable itself, that allows the pertinent editions.
    Something like CopyWrite but without leaving Safari and specially for webpages.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ø3

    Agree, would be nice to have this built-in to the product. In the meantime, in case you're not already aware - there's a very nice LR plugin (donation-ware) that does this and more:

  • [Suggestion]Ideas for the next MacMini

    Several suggestions for the next MacMini:
    1. AMD Fusion "Llano" 32nm. I think you could use this APU that AMD gonna launch very soon. Why? Because it's supposed to be very power efficient, it includes the GPU inside the silicon die, it supports DX11/OGL4/OpenCL 1.1 and it can reduce the production costs a lot.
    2. Add a Bluray option. I personally would like to see a Mini with a Bluray instead of using a DVD. Why? Because I own a lot of Bluray movies like Avatar, Matrix, Inception, etc... and I want to use the Mini as HTPC. On the other hand, my backups are becoming bigger and bigger so I would need to burn 5 DVDs which is very tedious... Please, add an option to buy the Mini with an internal Bluray optical drive!
    3. Please, put the connectors on the front. Currently they're on the back side which is not really practical... If you don't want to ruin the aesthetics just place a cover which could open when you touch it, showing the connectors.
    4. USB 3.0, please... ( and keep the Firewire connector too because it's still useful! ).
    5. Please, add an option to get a SSD instead of the traditional HDD. I personally would keep the HDD option because the SSD can make the product much more expensive.
    6. Price. I think the Mini should be always in range 399-599$, specially because we're in the middle of an economical crisis and you should moderate its price.
    Thanks.

    Yes! I like the clean front -- one of the main selling features.

  • Suggestions for updates?

    I'd like to make a suggestion for the next update.
    Can the the icons at the top of the screen be made to where if u touch them it takes you to the menu to change their status.  Especially the wifi and Bluetooth icons.  These menus are buried and takes several seconds to get to them just to turn them off or on....

    Good ideas, tell Apple at the link below.
