Viewing seamless textures in a grid

I am making seamless textures, and I was wondering is there a way to see the texture in a grid. Like side by side, vertically and horizontally. Still better if the grid can be zoomed in and out, so i can see the texture in different scales.

View>grid opens up a grid. This can be configured in Edit>preferences>grid
The custom shape tool has a library called "thirds". This can be dragged out as a rudimentary grid shape.
There is available a free plug-in which is good. If you decide to use it, be sure to duplicate the layer that it is on 2-3 times to enhance its visibility:

Recommends for seamless texture applications or plug-ins

I am on Mac, both Tiger and Leopard and I am in CS3.
I am a professional image editor and 3D designer. I take a lot of high resolution images and then spend hours manipulating them into seamless textures. I understand that there are still going to be many situations where that will be the reality, simply because of the complexity of the surface and its details.
Every once in a while I like to go out and see if there is a better way. In other words, bust my habits.
Does anyone have any suggestions on plug-ins for Photoshop or stand alone applications that offer this ability? My price range is wide, I purchase based on value, from share ware to gold plated ware.
Thanks everyone who answers.

I won my copy in an online art contest and learned it enough to gain some competence. It really isn't all that complex once you get past the shroud of mysticality in which the UI is wrapped.
There is another venerable application (read that as long in the tooth) which still runs just fine on my Mac Pro with Leopard. TextureMagic does have the capacity to create image based textures, has a Photoshop GUI and the manual is comprehensible. There is a demo as well.

User unable to view Excel button in ALV grid. Has full authorization

Hi All,
A user in our copany is unable to view Excel button in ALV grid. Has full authorization to S_BDS_DS, S_ALV_LAYOUT.
Please note that this is not the export to Excel button. Its the excel icon which enables the users to view the output in excel format on screen.
I am able to view the Excel Button. can you pls advise what might be the possible root cause.
Are there any authorization objects as well that govern ALV Grid buttons (excel) display.
Please help.
Can we add/delete the buttongs in the ALV grid from somewhere..
Thanks,Phani

Hi,
oic, only specific user, not all user.
I have a similar problem with you, but not excel button but inbox button on initial screen (session_manager)
deleting this user and re-create this user solved my problem.
hope it help you.

How to get iTunes to show views other than list--no grid or cover flows

I posted earlier but no one offered any suggestions. I'll try very directly this time. With iTunes 8.1 installed, I can obtain no other view than LIST. I can't get GRID or COVER FLOW. Any suggestions from Mac gurus far smarter about these things than me?

Apparently, the only problem is in the view options. I don't routinely purchase music, I merely copy my own or friends' CDs into iTune. So, I can't verify there is any problem area there. But, the ability to view in anything other than list is driving me crazy. I grew accustomed to that cover flow view before this latest update, so I miss its availability. My concern is that this must be the indication of a deeper problem with iTunes or my video drivers or other related problems I've had over the last two months with the iPhoto, documented elsewhere in these discussion forums.

In my Movies list, what order are movies sorted in when viewing the 'Unwatched' tab in grid view? Because it sure isn't 'by title' like I have selected. What gives?

Sample movie order:
The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai
Bella
No Country for Old Men
Breach

So, turingtest2 has it exactly right... Unwatched movies view is sorted by Album Artist. So here's a nice little fix for that... you can go through and manually copy the Name of the movie into the Album Artist field, but if you have a lot of movies in this category, it will be tedious. A better option, is to go to www.dougscripts.com, and download the This Tag, That Tag applet. You can find a link here. You can then select ALL of your unwatched movies, run the applet, and elect to copy the movie Name into the Album Artist field. Boom! And since Doug has done such an awesome job of saving you a bunch of time and effort, throw him a little donation.
Peace,
Jared

Why does iTunes grid view not remember default sort settings?

Hello,
I am using iTunes 8.1 and I like to use the Grid view (Artists). Using the Grid view and clicking on an artist to look at the albums, I like to sort the albums within using "Album by Year".
Once I have made this change, it sticks until I close iTunes, so I can go into any other artist from Grid view and the albums will be listed using "Album by Year" automatically.
When I restart iTunes and click on an artist in grid view, iTunes has reverted to sorting via the first column, the one with track numbers. I then have to manually click "Album by Year" to get it sorted again.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if there is a solution to it? This also happened in iTunes before I upgraded to 8.1.
Thanks

Unfortunately, I can't offer any solution because I'm experiencing the same kind of trouble. Please help us! It would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

Is there any way to display the Design View in fluid grid pages?

After upgrading to the newest version of DW CC 2014, I noticed that the Design View is disabled in Fluid Grid pages. You can only use the Live View to edit those pages. The Design/Live button displays on non-fluid pages.
I'm wondering if there is a work-around to allow Design View editing on fluid pages. It is a major hassle to try to edit some things in the Live View. It would nice to have a choice.

Have you actually tried using is? Try this?
1) Create a new Responsive Layout. We’ll call it demo.php, fluid.css and the usual accompanying DW files.
2) Enter demo.php and progress is normal. Everything works. You can choose to view both Live and Display and edit accordingly.
3) Close down DW.
4) Open DW and open demo.php
5) There is NO LONGER a Display View option and Live View does not EDIT. (at least it doesn't for me)
6) I can ONLY edit work in CODE view.
Thus, on brand new files, all is fine. The moment DW is closed and the files becomes “old” it can no longer be seen or edited properly.
How am I supposed to provide support to clients? How can I access a Responsive site I built last week when Live View will not edit and Display will not display?
I feel this is a programming error, not a purposeful act.

Problem with the List/Album List/Cover Flow/Grid view buttons

Is anyone else having this problem?
I have each playlist/media in different views. I have my music in List view, my podcasts, TV shows, and certain playlists in Album List view, and my movies and music videos in grid view. But now, any view that I select makes it the same for each playlist/media and I have to manually change it everytime I go to one of those lists. I figure this is a glitch with 10.5.3. Anyone else experiencing this?

I'm also having that problem.
It seemed to happen after iTunes 10.5 updates.
I like my music in album list view and my apps in grid form. However, now it's just one view for all lists. Any fixes for this or is this a bug that needs to be ironed out by Apple?

Grid View Badges Option Is Grayed Out

I am using LR 4.2 (on Mac) and have been using LR since 2.0. Yesterday all the badges on all my photos disappeared in Grid View. I didn't change any prefernce settings, or update that I am aware of. When I go to View > Grid View Styles> Show Badges, that option is checked, however it is grayed out. On the Mac that usually indicates it is not a viable option.
I've restarted the program but the problem remains. Any suggestions about how to bring back badges?
Here is a screen shot:

Go to View Options>Grid View tab.
Ensure "Show Grid Extras" is checked, then select either Compact Cells or Expanded cells.
Ensure you select the items you want to see under "Cell Icons", e.g. Flags, Badges, etc.
Then UNCHECK as many of the boxes as you want under Compact or Expanded Cell Extras, to remove the info top and/or bottom on the grid cells.

Grid View in shared library account

Hello, I decided to share my library with my son so he could use Itunes on his account in my Mac. When I go to his user account and look into Itunes I can see the shared library but I can not select the "Grid view" (on the top right). Only the list view is available and the 3 choices on the "view menu" are grayed, no access to it. Is there possibility to view the music as a Grid View?
Thanks
Thierry

Thierry,
I just ran into this today. I'm setting up 2TB of music and video on a Mac Mini in iTunes that I want to access from the other Macs in the house. It works, but I can't change the view on the client machines. You wrote about importing the shared library. Can you be more specific? I'm not an iTunes expert and didn't see how to do this.
Thanks,
David

Bug: thumbnails not displaying on library grid view

Since using v1.0 the thumbnails will not display on the grid view (there is simply a grid of empty grey squares which can be clicked on). All beta versions worked fine. I started a new library with no improvement. All other screens work as expected. Using Windows XP SP2. Any ideas?

joel, I'm experiencing the same issue - the thumbnails start to appear but once they get to the point where they would be fully loaded, they disappear. I used beta as well, and that worked perfectly fine. Just sent in a ticket to the customer support at adobe, hopefully they can help with a solution. I'm only running the trial version of lightroom.
Where you able to figure out a solution?

Grid View mixes discs

I first noticed this with a deluxe edition U2 album that is comprised of two separate discs. Each disc is clearly designated "1 of 2" or "2 of 2," but when I view the album from the grid view the songs are sorted by track number rather than one disc following the other. Now the running order looks like this: 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, etc.
List and cover flow views don't seem to share this problem. Any help?

I'm having the same issue since updating to 9.

Panel behavior in Loupe view seperate from Grid view

When I am in grid view I like to have the left navigation panel open. However when I am in Loupe view I like to have all panels closed. Please make it so that the panel view can be different between Grid and Loupe.
Thank you

" It is not that much extra work to hit the tab key." Perhaps not. But doing so changes the state of all panels not just the left panel. I would like finer control for loupe view.
You are right though, it is not a high priority matter. I can make due as it is now. I just want it the other way.
Thanks

Weekly "List View" in iCal

Hello - my family has recently converted to Mac, and my wife and I have been long-time Outlook users in our workplaces...
Trying to help my wife get her calendar data to iCal - one of the few things that we miss from Outlook is the "Week" view, which shows like Outlook's (7-Day view), which has a large grid of the 7 days in the current week, and all events displayed in a text-based "list" format, and clearly displaying numerical start and end times, rather than the graphical "block" method of iCal's default Week view.
The Month view on iCal comes close, but it is rather cramped when you want a closer-in look, and also omits end time.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

ecernek,
There is no event list option on iCal like the one on the iPhone.
That number means that you have an event invitation. Use iCal>View>Show Notifications to choose what to do with the notification.
