The ubiquitous question about disabling the "AUTOMATIC pixel aspect ration correction"....

So many people ask the question, "How do I disable the automatic pixel aspect correction" in photoshop only to get repsonses that include the manual step at turning off the correction for the current photo you're working on. Further details are also given from time to time on how this "shouldn't be a problem" or "it's only because you took a video screen grab", or even better, a debate over how it occaisionally helps. Here's the thing, it doesn't help as often as it creates an annoying step in having to go and turn it off when you open pictures that CS5 determines "need fixing" when in fact, the image becomes distorted by this automated fix, especially when this happens so much more now with cell phone pics, and as you turn off the "Auto correct" the image is no longer distorted. It is indeed RARE that this feature does anything good, and way more often that it shows a preview that is way out of whack. Why would Adobe decide that they can't compile Photoshop with this being something you can disable and only turn on for the photos you want as you open them instead of making you turn them off for when you don't (which is the more often case)? Why has this question circulated since at least CS2 on Adobe forums, and yet never been addressed any further than half hearted attempts at describing "recorded macros/steps/automations" that don't work? If I can set a default scratch disk, surely I should be able to set my default action upon opening a photo to NOT auto-correct anything? If the guys who put Photoshop together don't agree and think "We must autocorrect everything these fools are opening", perhaps we can be allowed enough rope to hang our selves with square pixels anyway and learn our lesson the hard way? Please?

Hi Darrell,
You've posted in the AIR forums and I think you meant this for Photoshop. Would you mind reposting over there?
Thanks,
Chris

I've been sent a scan of a document as an attachment. Clicking on it, I get the message, "Pixel aspect ration correction is for preview purposes only. Turn it off for maximum image quality." What is pixel aspect ration and how do I turn it off?

I've been sent a scan of a document as an attachment. Clicking on it, I get the message, "Pixel aspect ration correction is for preview purposes only. Turn it off for maximum image quality." What is pixel aspect ration and how do I turn it off?

It's "aspect ratio", not aspect "ration".
It's what determines whether you have square pixels ("normal") or, if rectangular pixels, what the aspect ratio (width : length) of that rectangle is.
It's explained in the Help files. I cannot go into more detail because you have neglected to provide information about your platform and exact version of Photoshop.

Question about disabling the IP cache

Hi,
There is TCL command for that. Check Pg 121 of UG835 - http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/sw_manuals/xilinx2015_1/ug835-vivado-tcl-commands.pdf
You can use -disable_cache switch to disable the cache for that IP.

I think I found what I need as part of solving a bigger issue.
The way to delete an individual cache entry is to find it first and then manually remove it, i.e. say $ip is the name of the IP whose entry we'd like to remove from the cache repository (could be regexp-searched prior to that).
Again, there is NOTHING in Xilinx user guides that indicates that check_ip_cache can be used to do this on an IP basis. The following 2 command to the trick.
set cache_loc [lindex [split [check_ip_cache [get_ips $ip]] ":"] 2]
file delete -force [current_project]/[current_project].cache/ip/$cache_loc

If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

How to fix the " flashing question mark after the finder icon when starting up" withou an apple keyboard?

Hi
I am wondering How to fix the " flashing question mark after the finder icon when starting up" without an apple keyboard. I have 2 of those .7Ghz emacs so just wanna fix them
Thx

Hi,
>I am using a wireless standard keyboard so maybe the emac doesn't regognise it
Installation of driver software may be required. Do not expect any wireless device to automatically work with a Mac unless guaranteed to do so. In a case like this, use a wired USB keyboard (a PC keyboard should be OK) and a wired mouse to begin with.
>I have installed Ubuntu 13.00 on the HDD from another computer.
Is it a version for PowerPC?

Is there a way to decrypt the SQL login-only encryption in the netmon trace or disable the SQL login-only encryption?

We know by default the SQL Server use the self-signed certificate to encrypt the SQL login information when building the connection, my question is if

Not without login as admin. To avoid using credentials to login to SQL, use Windows Credentials instead.

Have you tried the methods described here in this link: Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions ?
If that is impossible for some reason, you need to contact Apple and ask them to help you to reset them, see this webpage on how to contact Apple Support in your country: There are either telephone umbers given or an email form:
Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
Explain, that you need help with an account security problem.

When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Thx for your help, Bruce

When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Happens from Chrome, IE, Word, Excel, Powerpoint. Previously had deskPDF installed but uninstalled correctly. Can't find a preference setting for the auto launch. Thx for your help, Bruce

A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

If you have music that was purchased on different iTunes accounts than the one you use, then you must provide the password, otherwise the tunes are not considered yours. You can turn off iCloud and just use the usual USB sync method. But I wonder whether you'll have the same problem?

HT5312 I forgot the security questions and also the password for security info email of my apple id. Now I want to change the security info email with another. What Should I do?

I forgot the security questions and also the password (and even account id, sequrity questions,... becouse I didn't use for a long time) for security info email of my apple id. Now I want to change the security info email with another. What Should I do?

Even if I'm not despertate, creating a new Id is good Idia. But I think I must create another email address also since I can't use the first email adress as an apple id for the new one. That means I should check everyday the new email address also, that is making life complex. Better to try the 1st solution. Thank you very much.
