Vignette to a specific area vis just to the center

It would be cool if your could select a specific point to center a vignette OR if LR somehow knew where the focus point was when the images was originally captured. I know how to do this in PS but it would be nice to do it in LR "automatically". Imagine, you've taken a series of off center portraits of a person and then wanted to batch import to include a preset with vignette command. LR would be able to know where the point of focus was (i.e. the person head or whatever) and apply the preset vignette center there.
Just dreaming.

Problems with "Background Eraser Tool" and "Blur". The tools don't affect the whole area but just connect the start and the last points.

Hello!
I have some issues with Photoshop CC 2014. The tools "Background Eraser Tool" and "Blur" won't work correctly. When I’m holding down the left mouse button and trying to erase or blur some area, the tools don’t affect the whole area but just connect the start and the last points – like drawing a line. These troubles exist with mentioned tools only, other tools work correctly.
I’ve restored each tool separately, restored all the tools together, installed new drivers for tablet, re-installed Photoshop and even Windows. Nothing helped. These tools worked correctly earlier with the same adjustments, but one day something went wrong.
How can I make the tools work correctly?
Some information about my computer:
• Notebook Lenovo Y560
• Windows 7 Home Basic SP1 x64
• Intel Core i5 2.53 GHz
• 4Gb RAM
• ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730 1Gb
• Tablet Wacom Bamboo CTL-470

Hi,
I have a similar problem with the Background Eraser tool as well. It's the same both on my PC and on my laptop, both running Win 8.1 and PS CC2014. Would be great to have a solution for this. Did you managed to find a fix?

Projector Specific Area or Window

Hi,
It's possible to connect an projector to a macbook pro, and choose only an area to be projected ?
I want this because, i need to show only a window...and work with this...but in the bottom i need some notes... because macbook pro resolution is 1920x1080 and the projector is 1025x768 ... i have space to place the notes window out of the presentation window.
I all ready try extended...but i dont want this...because with this option the only way to see the projector window is looking to the projection area...that is behind me...
Need a solution... so far.. i am using the iPAD with Evernote to have my notes... while i work in the window...but i need the window in my computer for copy-paste operation etc...
Thanks.

Are there any updates on this issue? I'm currently seeing this on a Lumia 822 with WP8.1, and the app has never been published to the store. I've only ever deployed the app from Visual Studio to my device. It worked when deploying the Debug build, then I
tried a Release build, and it crashed immediately upon launch when trying to register the background task, but then I was able to go back to deploying/debugging the Debug build on the device for awhile. I made more changes, and now neither Debug nor Release
builds work--both fail on the BackgroundTaskBuilder.Register() call with the error described in the original question:
"The drive cannot locate a specific area or track on the disk. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070019)"
I've tried changing the Task name during registration, rev-ing the version number of the application, adding the call to BackgroundExecutionManager.RemoveAccess() before BackgroundExecutionManager.RequestAccessAsync(), changing the name of the IBackgroundTask
concrete implementation and changing the corresponding EntryPoint in the package.appxmanifest (as well as in the BackgroundTaskBuilder instance), and changing the package DisplayName to a new reserved name, all to no avail. The only thing I didn't try
was associating with an entirely new app in the app store or paving my phone, as these are both fairly undesirable "workarounds."
Even if this won't affect clients downloading the app from the store, this is a major roadblock during development, as we can essentially only use the emulator to test an app specifically designed to help solve problems involving moving around physically
in the real world.
Any more information would be greatly appreciated. If there's any information I can provide, please let me know.

Does converting RAW CR2 + XMP convert both of those into the DNG file, or does it just convert the CR2?

This is a stupid question that somehow, after hours of searching, I can't find a definitive answer for:
I have an existing catalog of photos that are stored in .CR2 (Canon RAW) format, plus accompanying XMP sidecar files on the photos I've edited. If I decide to convert those to DNG, does the conversion process automatically pick up the edits I've done from the XMP files and write those edits into the resulting DNG? Or does the conversion process just convert the CR2 --> DNG only, ignoring the XMP sidecar file?
Stupid question, but a really important one!
Bonus question:
Does the conversion process leave the CR2 and XMP files in the folder as they are, and just add the DNG in addition to those? Or does it delete the source CR2 and XMP files, REPLACING those with the DNG?

Have you run into any really important / crucial ones to your workflow that don't support DNG?
really important / crucial?, to me? - never.
Don't get me wrong: some people *love* the feeling they get when deleting the original proprietary raws - like they're standing up for a cause or something. If you are such a person, then by all means: knock yourself out, and enjoy - nothing terrible is likely to happen (unless Adobe goes under and/or DNG format falls flat..).
I have discovered a surprisingly large number of cases where some (Adobe-converted) DNGs were not readable, e.g.
* Bibble
* CaptureOne
* DxO
(note: original proprietary raws were fine).
All of which purport support for DNG (and likely read out-of-camera DNGs from supported models just fine).
And if you search the forums you can discover more..
(in case Adobe responds (rare): "it's not our fault - programmers must not have read the spec closely enough..". On the other hand, Adobe is sometimes a year or so tardy when it comes to releasing the new spec - hmm.. - I guess turn-about is fair play (Nikon is sometimes tardy with NEF documentation which supports new cameras, forcing Adobe to work without (reverse-engineer) for the mean time..).
Two other software's that don't support DNG:
* Canon's DPP (and other Canon software).
* Nikon's NX2 (and other Nikon software).
If you want to display focus points, proprietary raw is required, period.
Me? If I were to bother to convert raw files to DNG, I would do the opposite of what most people do - instead of archiving the originals and using the DNGs, I'd archive the DNGs and use the originals. That way, I can open my photos in any software I choose, and/or see focus points if I feel like it, but if I get cryogenically frozen for a few decades whilst DNG wins the format war, I'll have the DNGs to use.
To each their own, just realize: DNG is not a standard, yet, and may never be, so you are playing the odds (burning bridges) if you discard originals. Adobe really wants it to be a standard, because it gives them an edge over their competitors (since Adobe controls the spec, and when it's released..), so if you want to help ensure Adobe success in the format war, then by all means: delete your originals.
To be clear: I personally support the DNG format, completely. I just don't convert my existing raws to DNG yet, and generally recommend to others who convert: keep your originals.

I just downloaded the newest reconfigured version of iTunes, and for the first time ever my content is all screwed up. Specifically, all of my playlists are gone, so are my apps. However, the music library is intact. Any ideas? Thanks.............

I just downloaded the newest reconfigured version of iTunes, and for the first time ever my content is all screwed up. Specifically, all of my playlists are gone, so are my apps. The good news is that my music library is intact and that I've got more than one device with everything as it should be on them; the bad news is that my PC does not recognise my devices and keeps defaulting to " lets sync your devices to this new computer loose all of the playlists I've spent years compiling". I don't get it. Any ideas?
Thanks

I have created a form. I just want a specific area of the form to be printed to a specific printer in Windows 7. Is there a way to do this?

There are 2 printers on the system. I want to create a Print Button, so that if the user clicks it, a desired area prints on a specific printer.
Thanks for your consideration.

No, unfortunatley there is not. For a full listing of Unicode supported characters please refer to section Unicode Character Support at FormsCentral Help | Formula syntax for built-in functions

Apple maps has received a poor performance rating just after introduction of the iPhone 5. I am running google maps app on the phone. Siri cannot seem to get me to a specific address. Where does the problem lie? Thanks.

Apple maps has received a poor performance rating just after introduction of the iPhone 5. I am running Google Maps app on the phone. SIRI cannot seem to get me to a specific address. Where does the problem lie? Also can anyone tell me the hierarchy of use between the Apple Maps, SIRI, and Google maps when the app is on the phone? How do you choose one over the other as the default map usage? Or better still how do you suppress SIRI from using the Apple maps app when requesting a "go to"?
I have placed an address location into the CONTACTS list and when I ask SIRI to "take me there" it found a TOTALLY different location in the metro area with the same street name. I have included the address, the quadrant, (NE) and the ZIP code into the CONTACTS list. As it turns out, no amount of canceling the trip or relocating the address in the CONTACTS list line would prevent SIRI from taking me to this bogus location. FINALLY I typed in Northeast for NE in the CONTACTS list (NE being the accepted method of defining the USPS location quadrant) , canceled the current map route and it finally found the correct address. This problem would normally not demand such a response from me to have it fixed but the address is one of a hospital in the center of town and this hospital HAS a branch location in a similar part of town (NOT the original address SIRI was trying to take me to). This screw up could be dangerous if not catastrophic to someone who was looking for a hospital location fast and did not know of these two similar locations. After all the whole POINT of directions is not just whimsical pasttime or convenience. In a pinch people need to rely on this function. OR, are my expectations set too high?
How does the iPhone select between one app or the other (Apple Maps or Gppgle Maps) as it relates to SIRI finding and showing a map route?
Why does SIRI return an address that is NOT the correct address nor is the returned location in the requested ZIP code?
Is there a known bug in the CONTACTS list that demands the USPS quadrant ID be spelled out, as opposed to abreviated, to permit SIRI to do its routing?
Thanks for any clarification on these matters.

siri will only use apple maps, this cannot be changed. you could try google voice in the google app.

I have noticed an issue with utilizing the “stream” function on iOS 7. If you choose to just stream the movie by hitting the play button it seems to actually start downloading (which is fine) but if you are say halfway thru the movie and stop you can clearly see that storage has been reduced under the usage, yet under the “videos” tab it still states “No Data” the only way to delete what you have partially downloaded is to fully download the video, which is fine but there is no way to tell what videos have been partially downloaded (I.e which occurs a lot when your child switches between movies using the so called “stream” function). This becomes troublesome once the capacity of the ipad is almost met and you have no way to delete this data since you may have several videos that have started to be viewed (hence partially downloaded). Apple needs to somehow make it truly streaming or provide an update so the storage can be managed. The only way I have been able to remove partially downloaded videos is by doing a total software restore. (The video data that is in question when connected to my MacBook shows up in iTunes as “other”) if you have any insight into this issue it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Here are the screenshots for what it's worth.
Not sure why I can't post them in the original post.

'''Again, when I set my DNS server to automatically detect the servers both problems disappear and I have no issues at all.'''
IMO opendns is either doing this on purpose (unlikely) or they're under some sort of attack/being used to attack the specific torrent sites although I'm open to other explanations. I believe using the automatic setting for DNS is using my own ISP's DNS servers (which again, work fine... but still...)
I'd rather not use Google's public DNS servers as Google is to commercial these days and I think there's potential privacy issues.
'''Again I have changed the setting for DNS servers back and forth several times to duplicate/verify the issue(s)... and the issues only happen with the opendns servers.'''

When using the "Fill & Sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to size the text box, for a specific area on the page...instead of it going on in one straight long line...?

When using the "Fill & Sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to size the text box on a specific area of the page...instead of the text box going on in one straight long line....? I'm not seeing there's an option or ability to do so, just wanting to confirm.

Improving the handling of multiple line text fields is in our plans, but for now, you will have to add manual carriage returns (Enter).
Thanks,

Is there a way to isolate keying to specific area?

I do not think you can do this, but it would be really nice. Is there a way to use a bounding box to key a specific place. The reason I want to do this is because I have really good keying on 75 % of my body, but my left arm still has some green around it slightly. While I can adjust the whole think to take it out, it causes me to have to shrink myself in the 75% when it is not neccessary. So, if I could draw a bounding box or something around that 25% and and apply another ultra key just to it, it would be perfect. I am hoping this can be done, but I as I said, I do not think that it can.

I just figured out how to do it or at least one way to do it. If you create an adjustment layer, you can move the layer around to be over the area you want to do more keying. Just add the ultra key to the adjustment layer and it will adjust the keying only where the adjustment layer is. I sure there might be another way, but I think this will work for what I need. If anyone has any ideas of why Premerie keeps locking up when trying to encode aftereffects has changed the video, that would be awesome.

I just replaced the hard drive on my g4 PowerBook -I don't know where my original software is and apple won't touch it since its "vintage". Does anyone know what my options are to get my computer working again?

Hello and welcome to the support community
You only option is to buy a copy of Mac OS X, either the retail disk or system disks.
There are places you can by a copy of Mac OS X, like online vendors, Amazon or eBay.
System disk are gray and come with more than one disk. Retail disk are black with a 'X' on them and often come as one DVD disk.
Not sure what version your going to require as you haven't provided any specification and model details.
I would safely assume being a G4, it would be happy to install Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
If you could let us know the PowerBook you own, then I am sure we could advise you further.
Best of luck

Color in Specific Area

I remember in Elements 9 I was able to convert a color photo to black and white and then with the paint brush I could go and paint in the original color on just specific areas. How is that done in PS5?

I prefer the flexibility and results of a Black & White adjustment layer, rather than a simple desaturation.
You have a color image layer.
Add a Black & White adjustment layer with a white mask.
Click on the thumbnail of the B&W layer's mask to target it.
Use the Brush Tool to paint black into the mask where you want colour to be revealed.

What are "sets" in MainStage? Are these just my patches in a Concert?

I know this is a beginner question, but it isn't very clear in the manual.
Are sets just the patches in a concert?
Any info on this would be greatly appreciated, just started working with this about a week ago...lots of questions.
Thanks!

Hi
At the "base level" you have a Patch. This can contain multiple channel strips, all of which are only operational for that particular patch.
At the "Top Level" you have the Concert. This is the whole shebang: all the Patches that you have set up.
You can have 'global' channel strips at Concert level (typically FX Returns such as Reverb or delays) primarily because they will be active all the time (unless you specifically override them in the case of Instrument channels).
The "Inbetween" level is the Set:
A Set can be a collection of Patches, purely for organisation.
A Set can also have Channel Strips at Set level: these will only be active within that Set (and for all Patches within the Set unless you specifically override them in the case of Instrument channels).
You could simply use Sets to group the Patches you need for a specific song, or to group your Lead sounds from your Pads. You can also use Sets to have, for example, Playback channels at set level taking care of the backing tracks, whilst you change patches within the set to get to different sounds for, say, the solo etc.
