Trying to transform a jpg but have to bring in as smart Object?

I am trying to use transform on a jpg but it won't light up unless I bring the file in as a Smart Object? Is there something I'm doing wrong.

After opening your jpeg, double click on the layer thumbnail to unlock
the background layer or duplicate the background layer.

Please Help! I tried to upgrade Flash Player, but have older computer

Please Help! -- I tried to upgrade FLASH PLAYER, but I have an older MAC laptop OS X 10.4 = Version 4.1.3 (4533.19.4).
I need to UPGRADE Flash Player; however it's not available -- Recently, I cannot watch some videos or access particular websites.
I'm a teacher, and CAN'T AFFORD to buy a new computer at this time.
> Can Adobe Corp. please help by offering an expanded range of UPGRADE support ??

Unfortunately, if you're running OS 10.4, odds are that your Mac is a PowerPC model (-About This Mac will let you know for certain), and the newest version that will run on your system is Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and 9.0.289.0 (126 MB)
That's a direct link to the download, you can right click (or control+click) and save it to your downloads folder. Expand it with Stuffit Expander and run the 10.102.64 installer.
That's the best that can be hoped for because if your Mac is PowerPC, and I suspect it is, even Apple no longer supports it since September of 2009. The next OS X version (10.5) won't run the latest Player either. You'd need an Intel Mac with 10.6.3 or newer to use Flash Player 11.8.800.94.
PowerMax does have some really good deals on "pre owned" Macs. I've bought three from them myself over the years.

IPad 2 was updated to latest iOS 7 and has been not working right since. I have tried to do a restore but still continues to go into reboot mode by itself and very erratic. Can no longer trust it. I tried to complain to Apple but have to give them 20 buck

iPad has not worked right since it updated to latest software. Tried to question Apple about it but it costs 20 bucks just to lodge a complaint. Is this normal Apple behavior or am I missing something. Also anyone else having issues with upgrade to iOS7. It was working great until that point and now goes into reboot mode often and sometimes will continuously reboot several times. I have tried to restore but that didn't clear the problem. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Smart objects transform&duplicate again

I am on a windows xp system and using the ps cs3 extended 10.0.1 version.
My question is about smart objects and their transformation capabilities.
I have made some tests on 3 objects. I have created a vector object applied basic layer styles(shipped with photoshop) and duplicate it twice. Rasterized duplicated ones. Converted vector original and one of duplicated raster copy to smart object and leave one of the raster copy as normal object. Objects have given the same size information in the info palette. Aligned them vertically using a grid.
I have tried some possibilities i have used ctrl+alt+T command transform and duplicate on one of the smart object. It was not working. So i have tried ctrl+shift+alt+T it was not working properly too.
I have applied ctrl+alt+T to normal raster object to create a reference transformation it was working. But when i apply ctrl+alt+shift+T command to vector and raster smart object. I realized that command transforms duplicated copies completely different than the reference transformation applied to normal object.
is it a bug or a normal behavior .

How to replace a Smart object content with folder of JPGs

Greetings!
Sorry if that title is not clear. I have a cover design template (see example). The image is a transformed Smart Object. I want to streamline my workflow.
Say I have a folder of jpgs, and need to replace the smart object of the template with the new cover jpg, then save for web as a JPG comp. Repeat.
I already have a nice "scale layer to current canvas size" script from Michael L Hale. Which would be necessary in case the jpg is larger or smaller than the Smart object's content it will replace.
Any thoughts if this could be done?
Michael's resize script is here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1233856
Thanks
Maxi

Remember in that other tread I wrote you would need to take aspect ratio into account if you don't want distortion. You do not want distortion placing in images. You also do not want to place in all image in canvas size. If your images vary in size you do not want to replace the contents of a smart object layer for the smart object associated transform to work correctly you need the replace the embedded object with an object with exactly the same size of the original embedded object.
Also in that other thread I gave you code from one of my Photoshop Photo Collage Toolkit. You seem to be creating a collage. You man want to look at my Photo Collage Toolkit.
Templates are very easy to create for my Toolkit's scripts to work, You just need to follow four simple easy rules.
The Four Rules:
Size the photo collage templates for the print size you want - width, height and print DPI resolution.
Photo collage templates must have a Photoshop background layer. The contents of this layer can be anything.
Photo collage templates must have alpha channels named "Image 1", "Image 2", ... "Image n".
Photo collage templates layers above the background layers must provide transparent areas to let the images that will be placed below them show through.
So your template would be easy and look like this, Red rectangle outlines my scripts.
You would then use one of the scripts like interactive popopulate select the template then hit create collage
The script would the open the template copy it the go to full screen show you a cyan mask as to where the next image will be placed, And put you into an interactive select image dialog.
Once you select the script will place in the image resize and position it the put you in an interactive transform so you can tweak the position and size. The Populated collage will remain open in Photoshop.

Ps CS6 Problem: Transform applied to Smart Object cannot be repeated on another target

Ps CS6
OS X 10.6.8
Problem: Transform applied to Smart Object cannot be repeated on another target.
"Edit > Transform > Again" fails to transform any target after a Transform is applied to a Smart Object. The following message appears:

When ever I have a problem in CS6 and I have many I always test priot releases like cs2 cs3 cs5. I nevet nitice before you posted this problem the Photoshop has different favlors of Free Transform and that free transform for CS6 has been modified. Adobe seems to be introducind new improvement matche with new bugs,
Investgating your bug using CS5 I see the following. There are two types of free transform one type seems to be for smart Object layers and the other for other layer types. In CS5 you should see a difference in the Option bar for Free transform.
The option bar for layers other then smart object looklike this:
Transform 9 anchor point icons X: field Relative icon Y: filed W: % Constrain icon H: % Angle ° H: ° V: °
The Option Bar for Smart Object layers look like this:
Transform 9 anchor point icons X: field Relative icon Y: filed W: % Constrain icon H: % Angle ° Check Box Anti Alias (grayed out)
If I use the one for other then smart object layers Transform Again is not gratey out and I can use Transform Again on layers even smart object layers However the anchor point seems to be relative always to the first transformed layer's anchor point
If I use free transform on the smart Object Layer and not have done any transform on a other then smart object layer in this Photoshop session not even in an other document the smart object layer will be tramsformed and Transform again menu item will be grayed out. If any had done a Transform on an layer other then smart object layer even in an other document Transform Again would not be grayed out and could be used on the smart object layer at hand. The transform would not be the one just done on the smart object layer rather it be the one done to the other then smart object layer. Seems a bit bazzar to me. This may be how CS6 is also working.
CS6 also added interpolation method to the other then Smart object layer transform and not the one for smart object layers. To be consuitant Adobe should have also put interpolation into the omart opject transform for Adobe transforms smart opject layer by first rendering the pixels for the smart opject then transforms them like a raster layer. Adobe did manage to record the interpolation use into an action step. However I do not know if the made it into Scripting it did not make it into the photoshop javascript user guide. I will test the scriptlistener plugin to see if it records it for the action manager....

I have now tested the Scriptlistner Plugin it does record the interpolation for transform normal layers. Still the layer resize method in the Photoshop Javascript user guide has not been change for that support. In the past what I have done is scripting was to save the users default interpolation Photoshop prenerenvr changed the preference to what I wanted to use do the layer transform resize then restored the users interpolation preferance. Adobe broke that in CS6 if the users defalt preference is what Adobe's defalt is "Bicubic Automatic" an internal Photoshop error occurs. Adobe did not add "Bicubic Autoimatic" to scripting when I try to save the preference scriping has the internal error. There is also no way to set the preference back to "Bicubic Automatic. I'm also transform smart object layers so I would still have to use the save preference, change preference, transform, restore preferance method. This works if the users preference is set to some preference other the "Bicubic Automatic"

So to me it look like CS5 and CS6 transform work basiclly the same. There seems to have been some behavior changes made to CS6 I can not seem to put my finger on as well as the addition of the interpolation method in the option bar. I can't put my finger on it so it may be the same in CS5 and CS6.
It may have to do with the bazar behavior of Free Transform and Transform Again not being available on smart object layers if no free transform to a normal layer has been done in this Photoshop session but are available if one was done in any doument. And thet you can start to do a transform on the smart object layer and see the Transform handle but then start using transform Again shortcut Ctrl+Shift+T and watch the old transform being done perhaps rotating some virtual anchor point and not around the acnchor point bing displayed in the Transform bounding box and control points.

Over in the Adobe Feedback site several issues were posted with CS6 Transform one was marked "Not a problem" by Adobe. One was marked "Solved" by Adobe and the others have no Adobe markings the may on not be a problem
So I beleive there is a bug but I do not think it originated in CS6 the bazar things I see happing also seem to be in CS5.

Link Smart-Object Filter mask to transformation of Smart object

Often it would be very nice, if you could link the filtermask of a smart object to the smart object itself. So that when you transform the SM (rotate, scale etc) the filtermask of the smartfilter is transformed, too.

It would seem if a linked layer mask can be transformed with the smart object the filter mask could be linked as well.
I didn't mean the workaround to be vote against the request. But it does have an added benefit. When you transform a smart object with almost any smart filter the appearance of the filter changes. Blurs become more or less blurred depending on the transform. Same with sharpen. If you want the effect of the filter to appear the same after the transform you need to embed it into a new smart object.

Without a bootable backup/clone or a Time Machine backup of your previous Snow Leopard installation or a saved copy of Lion's install app, you'll have to upgrade your Leopard volume to Snow Leopard (10.6.6+) so you can waste another hour or more DLing the Lion thing again.

I have Logic on my iMac and want to install it on my new mac book but my mac book doesn't have a dvd drive. I tried to download the upgrade but it looks for an older version. How do I get Logic on the Mac book ?

I would like to install logic on my new mac book but there is no dvd drive. I tried to downlaod the upgrade but that didn't work. How do I download it for the first time?
Thanks!

You can only use the App Store version to reinstall on your new Mac if you bought Logic via the App Store in the first place.... and then it will appear under the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store App so long as you are signed in using the same Apple ID you used to purchase Logic via the App store in the first place.
If you bought the DVD edition of Logic Studio then you must initially install using those original DVDs to begin with and then update to the latest version of your version of Logic via software updates.
No DVD drive? Buy an external one.. Amazon do a very cheap basic one that works well..
or...
Use Remote Disk if you still have your older Mac which has a built in DVD drive...

I have the iPhone 4. I recently switched from PC to IMac. I am trying to sync my iPhone, but iTunes will not let me add or remove anything. Do I need to change a setting since I changed computers? I try to add songs from my music into my phone section and it will not go... Plus the playlists on my phone are not updated on my iTunes phone on my computer. Its like it never updated. What am I doing wrong??

Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.
When you sync to another it will delete the current content.
Make sure you have copied everything from your old computer to your new one first.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
If your sister doesn't know the password for her old ID, and if her old ID is an earlier version of her current ID, she needs to temporarily recreate the old ID so you can delete if from your phone using her current password. To do this, have her go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with her current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to her old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to her old email address. You can now use the password for her current ID to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for her old account ID. After you do this, Next, have your sister recreate her current ID again by going back to https://appleid.apple.com and changing her primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.
Then your can save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to the camera roll on your device, then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted. You will be prompted to either keep or delete the iCloud data from your device. If the data is already in another account you can choose Delete. If you need to migrate it to another account, choose Keep, then choose Merge when signing into the new account.

What happened yesterday may have been caused by the SOPA protest action that was joined by a lot of sites yesterday and such an action won't happen that often.
