Weird Scrambled images when using Intel HD Graphics

I recently bought a new 15" Macbook Pro and I have been seeing some really weird scrambled images when it is using the integrated graphics. I mostly notice it when switching to Top Sites in Safari or when using Spaces. Now, when I open a program to force the graphics to switch to the discrete 330M card (1Password triggers it, oddly enough), the images correct themselves within a second or two. I tried to take a screen grab using Grab, but that actually scrambles the image even more. Is anyone else seeing this, or is this a sign of a hardware failure?

I also have the same problem, only different circumstances. I've noticed there are several websites that I can go to that yield this issue, and for me the fix was to go into the Energy Saver system preferences and uncheck the Automatic Graphics Switching box. An example of an issue I'm currently experiencing is:
Visit http://www.macsimumnews.com/index.php/archive/applepatents_hint_at_final_pro_changes_and_or_new_media_presentationsoftw/
then click on the Reader button and the Safari window background gets all mangled. Click on the reader button again and it all goes away. Now repeat with that system preference turned off and it won't do it anymore.
Please advise if you can reproduce this. (Oh, this obviously is only for 2010 MacBook Pros that have that system preference option in the first place).

How stop PS6 from removing the DPI value from an image when using "save for the web"?

How stop PS6 from removing the DPI-value from an image when using "save for the web"?
Example:
- Open a tif image, that contains a dpi value (resolution).
- Use the splice tool in PS6.
- Export the slices with "Save for web", as gif-files.
Then the dpi value is removed, the gif files has no dpi value (it's empty).
How can we stop PS6 from removing the dpi value when using "save for web"?
OR:
When using the slice tool, how can we save the sliced pieces without PS removing the dpi value?

you can make your art go a little bit over the bounds. or you can make sure your artboart and art edges align to pixels

Printing issue when using Intel Macs to print wirelessly via Airport

We seem to have a problem. It has come to light since using Intel based Macs running 10.4.7 and Airport to connect wirelessly to the internet and to print to a Acculaser C1900N with intel printer driver installed. When setting up by Bonjour and then printing to the printer it fails and an exclamation mark appears on the printer icon in the Dock. Appletalk is enabled for the port, just in case you ask.
Browsing the internet works fine, but the printing side fails every time.
When we insert a Ethernet cable everything works fine.
As far as I can see its not a System Software problem related to old macs running 10.4.7, but to new Intel macs running 10.4.7. I have tried this on a Intel Mac Mini and also an Intel MacBook the results are the same.
Please has anyone got a solution as we start a new term with these new macs in about two days and printing is a integral part of school life.

I have just configured a new Airport Extreme and I have just printed sucessfully to our printer. Weird its just a Graphite Airport base Station Issue. I am not sure if the problem occours with the Snow Airport Base Station....Ill have to try that one out. I am so happy that it works you wouldnt believe it.

Photoshop CS6 Randomly Crashes using Intel HD Graphics 4000

When using Photoshop CS6 on Windows 8 [Surface Pro], it randomly crashes. I normally can only use Photoshop for less than a minute, doing less than ten actions, before it crashes. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop CS6 has stopped working." If I debug it using Visual Studio, I get this message:
Unhandled exception at 0x5442B60E (ig7icd32.dll) in Photoshop.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000002C.
I looked up ig7icd32.dll and it seems to be published by Intel and related to my graphics hardware, so I assume the problem is related to my Intel HD Graphics 4000.
Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this problem or as to what might be causing it?
EDIT:
Also, when launching Photoshop, I get this message:
Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled enhancements which use the graphics hardware.
Check the manufacturer's website for the latest software.
Graphics hardware enhancements can be enabled in the performance panel of preferences.
For more information, visit:
http://www.adobe.com/go/photoshop_gpu_en
All my drivers are fully updated, and all Windows updates are installed. No other applications have any problems with my graphics hardware.

If Intel does not have an updated driver, I would check the MS Surface Pro Web site.
If no updated driver exists, you might get it to run, if you turn off all graphics acceleration.
Unfortunately, Intel graphics chips are good, but driver support has been horrible. I recommend against using them, if one has programs like Ps CS 6, Premiere Pro CS 5 - 6, Premiere Elements 9 - 11, After Effects CS 6, any 3D applications, etc.. The Intel chips and drivers are OK for checking e-mail, surfing the Web, doing light wordprocessing, or some spreadsheet work, i.e. the tasks that they were designed for. They fall far short with video-intensive applications, that need to interface with the video driver.
Good luck,

Hp 15-r033tx laptop does not show the Nvidia chipset information and only uses Intel HD graphics

My Hp 15 r033tx laptop has windows 8 64 bit installed in it and as it comes with NVidia Ge Force 820 M 2GB graphics card , I have also installed Nvidia and Intel HD Graphic Drivers but in the dxdiag selection it does not list the Nvidia Chipset and information but only lists Intel HD Graphics with 1786 MB.
Also it does not show any Dedicated Video Ram that is normally showing in my other friends desktop with Nvidia Graphics properly installed
Any solutions?

Color Settings: Getting colors in PS CC to match colors of the image when used as a Windows Background

or vice versa. I probably do not know enough to be able to ask the question properly.
The colors of photos in PS CC are not the same when used as a desktop background in Windows 7. The colors are somewhat more saturated when as a background on the desktop and while not totally unusable, it would be nice to have matching color between my PS editing screen and the photo as viewed as a desktop background.
The following are some conditions that may or may not be relevant to the answer of my following question.
1.) I am a complete novice to Color Management so a presumption of knowledge and the heavy use of jargon may not penetrate my head.
2.) I shoot with sRGB embedded in my photos.
3.) My RAW conversions use sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1.
4.) My PS Color Settings are North American General Purpose 2 with sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1 as the working space and Intent as Relative Colormetric
5.) In the Win 7 Control Panel>Color Management>Device, my Device = NEC LCD2690wuxi, ICC Profile = NEC LCD2690wuxi (default), file name = nl269wui.icm
6.) In the Win 7 Control Panel>Color Management>Advanced, Device profile = System Default sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1 and (everything else set to System Defaults too). The only difference from the PS Color Settings being that Windows is defaulted to Perceptual Intent, but a change in either PS or Win 7 has no effect on the relative color differences.
7.) The monitor is set to the Native internal preset, but the relative differences in color remain the same even if the monitor is changed to sRGB, or any other internal preset.
8.) I have Proof Setup set to Monitor RGB but none of the settings will match the Win 7 Background color.
Now, my question is this. How would you set up your color settings/profile in PS and/or Windows to match color between PS and the Windows desktop of Windows 7?

Nevermind. I didn't have Proof Colors checked.

Line along "bottom" of image when using camera on iPhone 4

Hi all
So I have a brand new iPhone 4 and everything seems fine, except for an issue when taking pictures with the camera, which I have a sneaking suspicion is a hardware fault. I'm hoping not, but I don't hold out much hope...
So when I take pictures, I have a line parallel with the bottom (side with the home button) of the iPhone. This appears both in the preview image when taking a shot, and on the saved image. It does not show when shooting video, but I have noticed the image is zoomed in slightly when shooting video, and the line is not in this.
The line is approximately 1cm away from the edge of the screen. This is not a discoloration, like with the bonding agent, it looks like a line of pixels.
I have taken a picture, but can't see how to upload it on this forum. If it'll help, I'll upload elsewhere and link it.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

And also when I completely turn my iphone off it doesn't reboot when I hold the power button in and I had to do a soft reset to make it restart but even when I did that it wouldn't reboot and about 1 hour later when I tried it again it did the screen was white with nothing on it apart from a small oval in the middle of the screen showing my lock screen and it took 4 hours for it to sort itself out and then it started flickering :( :( please someone help what can I do??!!

Moving original images when using a "referenced" iPhoto library...

Hello.
My iPhoto library is "referenced" (ie. iPhoto does not copy the images when importing) to my RAW image library which is manually organized outside the iPhoto library. If I want to move the location of these images, does anyone know how iPhoto handles this? Does iPhoto loose track of them when I move them? Will I have to individually re-link all the images? Is there a good way of going about this?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kristin.

I've had a test alias library find all of the files automatically when the move was to a different location on the same hard drive. Moving to another hard drive it was hit or miss as Terence mentioned. Sometimes re-pointing to a single file in a folder got the whole folder, sometimes not.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Why do some webpages not finish loading images when using cellular data instead of WiFi?

I'm using iPhone 6 64gb. The problem existed with iOS 8.0.0 and the iOS 8.0.2 update.
I have had trouble with webpages loading slowly over AT&T LTE. Sites with multiple images frequently have trouble loading all the images entirely. Instead, the unloaded portion of the image fills in with black or the image fails to load at all. If I switch to WiFi when available and refresh the page, the images will usually reload completely. I never had this problem with the iPhone 5s on the same websites.

I'm on AT&T with an iPhone 5 first gen. This problem is happening across iPhone4s al of the way to iPhone6+
Thought it was only affecting newer iPhones with new Graphic Processors but I later ruled that out.
Seems to only be happening on LTE / 4G. Is not affected on WIFI for me.
I clear cache, crash browser and even reset the phone but will still get unexpected results in LTE or 4G.
The images seem to be getting prematurely cached and are only partially rendering.
When I save the these half loaded images in photoshop I get a warning that they are damaged and/or truncated.
I have saved images out as PNG and JPGs renders poorly.
About the images-
These images are only 15k and there are 16 on the page so I can't see why they would get bottlenecked when loading.
also, there is no background-color of black anywhere in the CSS.
Note the TV-Like static on the bottom image similar to the comment ryzer08 above.

Elements 11 not responding when using "comic" or "graphic novel" filter

I recently purchased PSE 11 and absolutely LOVE the program. It has worked flawlessly for me for 3 weeks, however, today was the first time I ever tried to use the "comic strip" filter and the "graphic novel" filter and the program stopped responding when trying to use these filters.
I am able to use the other filters contained under the "sketch" dropdown menu, however, the 2 that I have mentioned do not seem to work.
Any ideas what might be wrong?
I am running a Windows 7 computer and as previously mentioned, all other functionality seems to be working in Elements 11 except for those 2 filters.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Try resetting the PSE preferences by
   1. Close Elements.
   2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Edit.
   3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
OR
GO to Edit->Preferences and you will see Reset Preferences on next launch
Click this button to ensure that all product preferences are reset to default settings when Elements Editor is restarted next. Available at Preferences > General.
OR
Try with normal JPEG image also.
Thanks,
Garry

Report does not render image when using DoCmd.OutputTo to PDF

Hello All.... and Happy new year !!!
I have a form that has an embedded report and a series of cmd buttons to print the report or export it to file and saves it.
In the report I have an Image object (a logo) that is in the header.
When I print the report to a printer or a PDF printer the image is present.
When I use DoCmd.OutputTo the report is properly exported to PDF and saved but the image is not present.
I've tried playing with the ExportQuality, the "fit to page", etc... but nothing seems to get it working.
here is the vba I use
'Open the report as hidden to filter the data
DoCmd.OpenReport reportToExport, acViewPreview, , filterReportBy, acHidden
'if we show the report
If (booSeeFile) Then
'export to pdf to save and autostart
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, reportToExport, acFormatPDF, filepath, vbYes
Else
'export to pdf to save
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, reportToExport, acFormatPDF, filepath
End If
Any help would be great !

given that you've gone 12 hours with no reply; I generally don't have any problem with the logo going from the Report object to the PDF export. When a report is opened on screen - right click - and one of the choices is 'Export To' and one of those
choices is 'PDF or XPS' - - - just try that as a sanity check....
there are 2 kinds of image controls - I can't remember off hand their formal name but one has the image embedded permanently inside the report object and so this one should go to the PDF.....the other type is a file link to the image for which the advantage
is that image can be dynamically changed on the fly. This second type probably will not appear in an export as the file link is probably broken....
hope this helps a little......

Picture appears white (cannot see the image) when using camera raw filter in photoshop cc

I have a fresh install of Photoshop CC on my macbook. I am running into an issue when editing an image in Photoshop cc and using the camera raw filter. If I choose the camera raw filter camera raw opens up but all I see is white - the picture is not showing within the camera raw interface. This happens whenever I am working on a layer and apply the camera raw filter. The only time it works is when I do not have any layers but only the image as it comes directly from within camera raw - then it works fine. I'm guessing there is something really basic I am missing but it is maddening!

You are welcome.
The Camera RAW filter will not work on an adjustment layer alone. Select the layer with the image and the adjustment layer and convert to a smart object to apply the Camera RAW filter to the image with the adjustment layer applied.

NO IMAGE WHEN USING A PC PROJECTOR ?

I am running a new Pro L10 M360 laptop, using XP Pro.
However, when connecting to a PC Projector there is no signal/no image on the screen (either screen) the toggle fn buttons dont make dif either. its like there is no signal. can anyone help???
some suggested it was due to XP pro, but i cant see that myself!

Hi,
you can try to switch between the devices when you go to START - Control Panel - Display - Settings. There you see Screen 1 and 2 and you can switch between them! Also at Advanced at Dual display settings or Extended desktop are settings which should be checked!
