  • Using the retouch tool, how do you make it change color? The old iPhoto one did, this one seems to be flesh-tone only, which is not how I need it to be. In old iPhoto, used the local color to blend, it was great.

    I don't know which old version you're referring to but iPhoto 6's,  7's and 8's retouch tool works exactly the same as iPhoto 9's. The color of the enhance tool's area while applying is a light brown color but the retouch works on any color using the surrounding colors as a basis.

  • I was using the clone tool and my computer froze. I could'nt get aperture to work at all, so I turned my computer off and now I can'nt access aperture or my I photo library. I ahve tried re booting my computer several times but I don't know what to do to

    I was useing my colne tool in apetrure when, apeture froze. I could not get it to work again, so I turned off my computer, re booted my machine and tried to open the programme again. I can not get aperture to open again and I can't open I photo either. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me get the programme running again? I have a deadline to meet this evening. Help!

    I have tried both options.
    When I got to point 3 I choose the library I was working on and the same error message popped up, so this option did not work.
    I then tried the second suggestion and chose the repair option but as before there is no sign of a repair database grogress indicator. Where would I be able to see this and what does it look like. I can't see any evidence of anything happening on my screen.
    I have also just tried the first option that comes up in the pop up box where you have to enter your password, this resulted in the same error message.
    I don"t know what to do.
    I don't really want to have to go for the third option where you have to rebuild you data base - Would this result in loosing images?

  • In expert mode, using the mover tool, I can not move one picture into another. Need help as I get error message

    I have two pictures in expert mode in editor. I go to "Move tool", click on picture but I am unable to move and drop in second picture. I do not get the dashed lines around the picture, and if I move cursor to
    move picture, I get the following message " This operation cannot be performed on the locked background layer. Do you want to convert the locked background layer into an editable layer?"  I have no idea
    what I need to check or uncheck to make it work.,  I am following a lesson plan in a "Infinite Skills" training course.  I talked to them, but was unable to come up with a answer.  Help, please I have been
    trying to do this move for over a week.  tks  rdf

    We don't know whether this tutorial was written for Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, more specifically for which version of PSE. There are differences. Be sure to have the layers palette open.
    Try this instead
    Open picture B, the one you wish to select something from to add to another picture.
    Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
    Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
    Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
    Use the move tool to position object from picture B.
    In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and object B on a separate layer.
    To unlock the background layer, double click on it in the layers palette. Perhaps your tutorial will  guide you through the process.

  • I have been using the Reminders app without problems until 3 days ago when all of a sudden, all of my customized lists that I created within the Reminders app, disappeared. Any one having the same problem?

    Is there anyone noticing a sync problem in iOS5 across their devices?

    ok it took me a few days to get to the bottom of this one. basically what you have to do is wipe your phone then restore it from icloud. before doing so you need to back up entire phone to icloud. Below I have pasted the instructions given to me by apple rep. I went through all the steps and I now have reminders back and working. ACtually I only needed to go through the steps on the first link. Not sure why I was given the second link. Previously stored reminders are gone but i do remember seeing another post somewhere that said how to get those back once the application is no longer frozen. I am going to try that next. anyway here are the instructions to wipe and re-install.
    One final note, the rep said when i updated the os I should have done it through the usb via itunes rather then through wifi which I did. She said when updating via wifi you sometimes get anomolies such as this.
    instructions from apple below.

  • Blurred lines when using the stroke tool

    Im trying to draw frames with feathered corners using strokes, its supposed to be a solid black line 2px thick it works sometimes but not others. What I end up with is a blurred edge, almost like it's using a spray which is not at all what I want, have tried changing various settings but its still the same.
    Anyone any ideas please? It's driving me mad..
    Thanks!

    Yes, I was using the marquee tool to create the rectangular shapes then using the stroke tool. I took feathered setting off and that resolved the problem.
    But...
    How do I create rectangular shapres with rounded edges, then use the stroke tool?
    I've changed the colour settings so it's not being 'filled' but when I try to use stroke it's now greyed out.
    All I am trying to achieve is a rectangular shape with rounded edges with a black outline.
    I thought it would be simple ;)

  • My layers look messy when i use the pen tool they dont align with the layers below?

    im new to illustrator, not sure if I worded it right, but I watched a tutorial, where the teacher was using the pen tool, he was drawing a bear, say if he drew another layer of shade on the bear he could quickly use the pen tool and even if he went out of the borders of the bear the pen tool would recognize this and stay with the bear layer. When I use the pen tool I have different layers but If I go out of the line of the object underneath it goes out it doesn't recognize that I want it to end there, so all my layers are mismatched and not clean
    halp!

    In the tutorial they were maybe drawing in "draw inside" mode.
    See manual on this mode

  • HT201209 I have remaining credit at the iTunes Store, but will not let me use without a download code! That code was thrown away month ago, after downloading it. How can I use my unused credit $??

    I have remaining credit at the iTunes Store, but will not let me use without entering 'your Gift Card or Download Code' which, of course, was thrown away months ago, when I first put the code in! Originally it was put into my computer, now I'm trying to redeem on my iPhone. Anybody have any ideas....I mean it IS my money! Thanks Ruthie

    What you are saying does not make sense. You redeem a card once, that's it. It doesn't matter what device you are using, as long as it's using the same account, you will get the reminder of your store credits.
    Could you give more details now?

    Not sure if anyone can help but I have a copy of Photoshop CS5.1. Ever since it was installed, every now and again when I try do something simple like save a file or scale something using the Transform tool, in fact anything at all it comes up with "Could not complete your request because of a program error". Have thought about re-installing  it but I have lost my serial number.  I'm living in Ireland and trying to get to talk to someone in tech support is a complete joke. Any ideas what to do ? Thanks

    Ianp69549740 have you tried reinstalling Photoshop CS5.1?  If so do you receive any specific errors?  What operating system are you using?

  • Could not use the move tool because no layers are selected.

    This problem started a few days ago. I like to hold down the "Shift" key when moving a layer (either text or image) to keep the horizontal spacing locked. It was never a problem but a dialog box is now popping up with the following note: Could not use the move tool because no layers are selected.
    There's no problem if I'm not holding the "Shift" key but I can't keep the layer from moving up or down. I could just use the arrow key but sometimes I need to move the layer quite a distance.
    Also, I'm noticing that if I don't have the cursor directly on the type/image layer, regardless of whether the "Shift" key is selected, a rectangle similar to when the "Rectangular Marquee Tool" is used appears and the layer I had selected is no longer selected.
    Any ideas as to why this might be happening? Thanks for the help.

    Sorry about that. I'm using Photoshop CS4. There are no layer masks and I'm working over a solid white background (although it's happening in all my files, some of which have multiple layers).
    I'm mainly designing DVD sleeves, posters, invites, etc. The layers contain images, live text, vector smart objects, etc. and the problem is happening with all layers, regardless of what it is (text or image).
    When I have the mouse directly over whatever it is I want to move and hold the shift key I get the "Could not use..." dialog box. When the mouse is NOT over the image/text, but I have the correct layer selected, I get the "Rectangular Marquee Tool" look, a "dashed" rectangular box wherever I've moved the mouse.
    Hope the info is helpful and thanks for responding...

  • Problem with using the import tool under User Admin role

    Hello,
    I have created a role through the import facility under the User Admin role:
    [role]
    ridpcd:portal_content/content....
    rdesc=my role
    Although I have recieved a successful message I couldn't locate this role, not when I was searching it in User Admin or under the pcd location where I asked to create it.
    I then imported a transport package from another portal that contains a role in the exact same pcd location, this time an actual role has been created.
    The problem is that when I try to use the import facility again to assign a group to this role I get: Error: Role found, but unique name "pcd:portal_content/..."  is not unique!
    When I search User admin for this role I get only one and when I go to this pcd location I only see one role so I don't understand this message  and how can a unique pcd location cannot be not unique.
    Any ideas...?

    Try performing the import again, but this time do not use the fully qualified pcd path. Just specify the rid without the pcd definition. In otherword if you did a search in the user admin for the role ID you would not use the full pcd:rid just the rid value.
    The alternative is to first delete the role and then import again. The reason you are gettign the problem is that the pcd generates a unique sid entry for the role and thus the manner in which you are performing the update using the full pcd path is not allowed. For this reason drop the fully qualified pcd path.

    I am using Lightroom 5 and am hapy about it, but recently I hav encountered a problem when trying to edit an image in another program, i.e. Elements. I used the clone tool, saved the result and went back to Lightroom to open the image there. I did find a second copy, but this is identic with the one I already had in Lightroom, and I can see noe result of the clone process.

    At the moment I would say it is uncertain whether Acrobat is completely ignoring the change, or whether the changes you are making aren't affecting the ink density. I have a suggestion for a test you could make to see which is the case.
    When editing in Photoshop just add a box or mark on the image, for your tests.
    - If this box does not appear in Acrobat, you know Acrobat is not seeing the edit
    - If this box does appear in Acrobat, you know the problem is that your tool for changing ink densities is not taking effect.

  • How to remove preinstalled files of adobe photoshop from my mac mini so that i can install a new version of the same software.The previous version was removed using the app cleaner software.Could not continue installation bcoz of earlier files

    How to remove preinstalled files of adobe photoshop from my mac mini so that i can install a new version of the same software.The previous version was removed using the app cleaner software.Could not continue installation of the new version because of the existance of files from the previous version.plz help

    What "app cleaner software" ? I ask because installing Photoshop over a previous version has never been a problem. Perhaps your difficulty stems from another source, eg. "cleaner software" ?
    If you look in your hard drive, at the root level there is a Library. In there is a folder called Application Support, and in that you will find a folder called Adobe. Files from your previous version are there.
    However, I urge you to call Adobe support to make sure you are not doing anything that would mess up other Adobe applications.

I have used the Adobe tool to delete the Flash and subsequently I have updated or reloaded Flash using your updater.  I have gone into IE options and insured that the settings are supportive of Flash.  The Adobe mini Flash test program on your site says it not enabled or Active X is enabled - not true - all is set as it should be.  I have gone through your forums but to no avail.  I've looked in MS forums but nothing that made any difference.  What's going on and what can I do about it?

    Try using Firefox. Flash usually works on Firefox when it won't on Safari. I noticed that the Safari does not show the same version as Firefox does. Iwonder if that could be the problem. Safari on the left shows 10.1, Firefox show 10.3
