Turning from Gimp to Photoshop, hard ?

Hi all,
I can do Gimp and i want to change this to Adobe products, since i have now opportunity to get these products.
Im Graphic designer and i have done some artwork for websites, like this one http://www.lindenleaf.fi
Is it hard phase to turn from Gimp to Adobe or are they pretty similar with each other ?
Kind Regards
Paatu

Not too hard. There are layers, and the most important tools are the same.
Sometimes you will be frustrated, because you can't find a particular function - and it's only in a different menu or has a different name.
Sometimes you will use a cumbersome workflow not knowing the short way - and vice versa - sometimes you'll find that there's no short way.
You get help by the videos at tv.adobe.com and youtube and the (partially free) clips at lynda.com / video2brain.com.
Make sure that your pc and especially your graphics card meets the requirements.

Upgrade from gimp?

I'm looking to upgrade from Gimp to Photoshop for graphics creation for website and apps - but am unsure of the benefits and costs - are there any good pointers here, and what would I have to do w/ all of my existing projects?
thanks.

Photoshop does not open XCF files but you can save PSD files from GIMP to open into Photoshop.
One of the major benefits with Photoshop is true CMYK editing. However, I can't see that as a benefit to you if you are not designing for print. As a step up from GIMP, you might look at Adobe Fireworks instead. Fireworks is better suited for UI design and prototyping.

Adobe Photoshop airbrush icon turns from a circle to an arc when enlarged past a certain size

Adobe Photoshop airbrush icon turns from a circle to an arc when enlarged past a certain size & this makes accuracy progressively more difficult. Upgraded from v11.01 to 11.02 but no change. Running Win XP OS on an HP Elitebook 8730W F.0F with built-in Nvidia Quadro FX 2700M graphics.

Thanks Lister_UK, updated all 3 PCs with version 195.62 & problem fixed.

Pasting from Illustrator to Photoshop is a frustrating experience

If you paste something from Illustrator to Photoshop, its size won't be at 100%. Why the heck? And why is the "Keep aspect ratio" in Photoshop turned off by default? I have to click that every single time when pasting from Illustrator.
And why would Photoshop not start ignoring crap outside a mask. I mask stuff in Illustrator for a reason. I want the bounding box to be the mask, not the extent of its contents.
How hard could it be to finally fix this? How many more versions with more useless new features to be shoved down our throats?

Hello. Check this settings:
Photoshop
Preferences > Units and Rulers > Screen Resolutions: 72 pixels/Inch, Point/Pica Size: PostScript;
Image > Image size > Resolution: 72 pixels/Inch;
Illustrator

How to print from GIMP to a Canon i860

Hello
I have searched the forums for this answer with no luck.... so either I am blind, or.... I don't know. This seems like this should be so easy to do.
I am trying to print from GIMP 2.2.10. I am using Mac OS-X 10.4.6. The printer is a Canon i860 inkjet, connected via USB to an iBook G4. I can print from any of the other applications, including from OpenOffice 2.0. I have downloaded and intalled the Canon IJ driver 415.
I can not find a good driver to use when I print from GIMP.
I can get it to print using Postscript 2 by removing -oraw and -l from the Command line in the printer setup (I set it to "lp -s -di860")
When I print from GIMP using the Postscript 2 setting, I can not change the Media Type to indicate Matte paper, or Glossy, etc. Nor can I change the resolution, etc. It does however print.
I have tried some of the other Canon Drivers listed in the GIMP print setup dialogue, but nothing seems to work - that is nothing even gets sent to the printer (I have the spooler window open so I can monitor). None of them are for the i860 specifically.
Any suggestions? Even just a place to start looking?
Thanks in Advance
Seth

Transfer data from mac to external hard drive

I am new to macs and am a bit lost.
I have a made up external hard drive (internal hard drive in a case) - TOSHIBA MK8025GAS Media. It is connected to the mac via USB.
I have been using it to transfer data from my pc to mac. The mac sees it and i can copy things from the hard drive to mac without problems. What i cannot do is to transfer from the mac onto the hard drive.
I pulled up the mac info of the hard drive and its both writable and ejectable (Has two partitions). In the partitions the info states that the owners aren't enabled, cannot turn owners off and cannot be formatted. Also the S.M.A.R.T. status is not supported. Not usre what all this means!
Can anyone tell me how to set it up to be able to transfer files to the hard drive from the mac and if it is possible to still transfer from windows to the hard drive?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the info.
A friend also told me that i could erase the hard drive using the disk utility in ms dos format. I have tried this and then could also partition it afterwards.
At the moment this seems to be working in both Mac and PC.
One thing i have noticed is when i try to transfer disk images (over 4Gb), near the end i get an 'unexpected error occured' (error code 1309).
From the internet:
error -1309 fileBoundsErr: file's EOF offset mark or size is too big
Whatever this means?

Getting photos from Aperture to Photoshop

I've been trying to figure out how to get pictures from Aperture to Photoshop. I can't access Aperture directly and if I save a picture to the desktop, then it turns into a jpeg when I open it in Photoshop. I'l a fairly new PS user, any sugestions? And yes, my whole system has slowed down with Snow Leopard.

Thank you so much, just couldn't figured that out. Do you know how to access camera raw in photoshop? I've watched some tutorials on PS and it shows different ways to make adjustments to pictures using camera raw, but I can't figure out where on the menu it is.

Importing from Illustrator into Photoshop

Hello
I am struggling to learn Creative Suite CS4, and it is very hard.
Can anyone help me with the following problem.
I have made some line art in Illustrator CS4 using a wacom pen and the pencil tool. it has about 8 layers.
I have brought the artwork into Photoshop CS4 so that I can color it in Photoshop. I find that it has been merged into just one layer in Photoshop.
Is this what is supposed to happen? I expected the drawing to still have all the layers intact.
can anyone tell me how to move stuff from Illustrator into Photoshop and keep the layers structure?
Thanks for any advice.

How did you bring the art into Photoshop?
Try File > Export > PSD in Illustrator and tick the "Write Layers" option in teh second dialog window.
Be aware though... you can't maintain layers and have traditional smart objects at the same time.
If you want smart objects and layers, you need to select an AI layer, copy. Move to PS, create a new layer, paste. Then repeat for each AI layer. And finally realign all the layers in PS so they are positioned correctly.

CS4 How to disable anti alias when pasting from Illustrator to Photoshop?

Hello,
I'm trying to paste vector artwork from Illustrator into Photoshop but it seems no matter what I do Photoshop anti aliases the illustration. Is there a way to keep this from happening?
The whole point of making the art in Illustrator was to keep the edges clean and the colors limited.
Your suggestions are much appreciated.

In Illustator >> Object >> Rasterize >> Anti-aliasing>> None
Copy and paste this into Photoshop.
Or
Illustrator >> File >> Export >> psd >>turn off anti alias

Upgrading from 120GB to 250GB Hard Drive. How do I backup / exchange?

I currently have a 120GB hard drive and just bought a 250GB drive to replace it as my needs grow. What is the best way to transfer data from the 120GB to 250GB? Should I backup with time machine fully as it is now, turn computer off, exchange the hard drive, then boot from leopard disk and press restore from time machine? Are there any other ways?

Sure, you can do that using Time Machine. However, be reminded Time Machine is a 'version 1' release - meaning it's rather new and not necessarily 100% solid. Some comments I've seen on these discussion forums suggests some people having issues with files not being copied over (and not only cache files - which would be benign).
An alternative would be a software which makes a 1-to-1, bootable clone of your current system drive. CarbonCopyCloner http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html or http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html (please note: SuperDuper is currently not supporting Leopard - they are working on it though).
These programs copy all and everything onto your new drive. And, you can boot from it too. After the copy process, reboot and hold down the Alt/Option key right after you hear the bong. This will show a menu with all the bootable volumes you can select from (or use Startup Disk in the System Preferences to select the new boot volume, and restart)
Hope this helps!

Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
If that doesn't help, try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
If neither helped, boot from your install disc, run Disk Utillity. The startup disk may need repairing.
Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
Check the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom of the Disk Utility window.
Make sure it says: Verified

Deleting a song from iTunes library and hard drive on Itunes 11.0

how do i delete a song from iTunes library and hard drive on Itunes 11.0 at the same time.

Hello CleveCo, Inc
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
At some point in time, you may have selected the option to prevent that dialog from appearing again when trying to delete tracks from your library. To reset all of iTunes warning dialogs, click the Edit drop down menu and choose Preferences from the list (on a Mac it is *iTunes -> Preferences* ). When the window pops up, head over to the Advanced tab and click the *Reset Warnings* button. Then quit iTunes and relaunch it. That do the trick for you?

Send a raw photo from lightroom to photoshop as a smart "object"

how to send a raw photo from lightroom to photoshop as a smart "object" not a flat "image" so it does not flatten the image but so I still get all the adjustments i have made in lightroom to show up in photoshop?

Select the image in Lightroom, choose 'Edit in' from Photo menu then choose 'Open as Smart Object in Photoshop'. The file will transfer to Photohop (Ps) complete with Lr applied edits which can be refined in Camera Raw by double clicking on icon in the Ps Layers panel (see screen shot).

I want to take files from my PC (using a Seagate external hard drive) then plug this Seagate External hard drive into my Mac Book Pro and move the files from the Seagate External Hard drive onto my Time Capsule. I do not want to put these files on my Mac

I want to take files from my PC (using a Seagate external hard drive) then plug this Seagate External hard drive into my Mac Book Pro and move the files from the Seagate External Hard drive onto my Time Capsule. I do not want to put these files on my Mac. How do I do this? Where do I put these files on my Time Capsule? Will it affect the functioning of my Time Capsule?

Mixing files with data is not always great idea.
See info here.
Q3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Why not just connect the PC directly to the TC by ethernet and copy the files over?
It is hugely faster and much less mucking around.
In windows load the airport utility for windows.. if you have not already as this will help you access the drive.
There is more info here.
