Well, this is counter-intuitive!

When I crop my pictures in Photoshop CS5.5 on Mac (10.7) the file size increases. I was working in an appx. 500mb 16-bit PSD and after I cropped it (using the crop tool), the file size inflated to almost 1gb! Why would that happen?
thanks for you help!

Undoubtedly because you had some ungodly value in the Resolution field of the Options Bar of the Crop Tool.
Don't panic. Click on the "Clear" button and try again.
Simple user error (PEBKAC).

A counter-intuitive optimisation result... can anybody shed some light?

Hi,
I've been trying to make an asynchronouse PNG encoder as I am encoding some big and complex images that tie up even a good machine for several seconds. So, I thought, it would be easy to split out the processing of the ByteArray into chunks and process a new chunk on each Event.ENTER_FRAME.
Well...
It was easy to implement (thanks Adobe for giving access to your source code!) but the results were counter-intuitive:
1. Encoding a PNG image entire: Approximately 1 seconds.
2. Encoding a PNG image in chunks of 100 lines: Approximately 1.5 seconds PER CHUNK and then FOUR or FIVE seconds to compress at the end!
When I tried this on AIR for Android, the results were even worse with the final ByteArray.compress() call taking more than FORTY seconds!
This is obviously barmy as it is taking a multiple of the total time to process everything _INCLUDING_ the .compress() call to simply process the .compress() call.
The ByteArray in Adobe's encoder is a temp variable encased in a single function where the ByteArray in my function is a class member that is populated at the start of the encode and then added to with each successive Event.ENTER_FRAME. That is the ONLY difference I can see at the moment (trust me, I didn't go messing with that code too much... it is strongly referencing the original). Is there any other reason people can see for the massive difference in performance for essentially the exact same lines of code?
Thanks,
G

Oops!
I found the cause - I'd not updated one of my loops, so instead of running from yFrom to yTo, it was running 0 to length every time. So I managed to build a 29.6MB PNG file from 1.6MB of content!
Anyway, done. Works nicely.

3d bar ...counter-intuitive

The Format chart dialog > Pivot tab screen is slightly counter-intuitive:
- The order of the options Y-Axis, Z-Axis (optional) and X-Axis is usually meant to be sorted alphabetically at least by my usual way of creating charts (by my usual standards at least)
- The default chart displayed is small and at first impression, 3d graphs are not immediately intuitive (such as dashboards for example)
- No options for creating a graph legend within the Format chart dialog
- I'm not sure why X-Axis is given as optional
- Using 3DBar. When removing a dimension from the Z-Axis after having enabled it and unchecking General tab > Show Z Axis label, the legend for the Z-Axis is still displayed. This happens even after a manual Refresh.
Wouldn't it be great if the features available within the various panels (i.e. Java, HTML were standardized so that the user does not have to go through a training process for each screen?

you wrote "Wouldn't it be great if the features available within the various panels (i.e. Java, HTML were standardized so that the user does not have to go through a training process for each screen?", which touches upon a sensitive subject -- user training. In the particular deployment that I'm involved in, we've developed our own user training. As my project lead says in our training class "we're trying to distill three days of a BusObjects WebI report writing class down to 4 hours...", which we somehow manage to do by "choosing one". A thing that we do explain to our users is that they may someday discover another way to do something (like use a right-click versus the menu we point out, etc, etc) which is fine, but for today we're feeding from the fire hose, so too much information in one day is simply too much. We also provide our users with a handbook that has screenshots from reports they're most likely to encounter when using our deployment, so we build up a comfortable look and feel for what they'll be doing once they get back to their cubicle. So, we take users aside to a learning lab, we don't let them use the system on their own until they've been trained (preferably face-to-face, but we do have certain cases where we'll do some training "over the phone" in a structured manner), and we provide a take-away training guide.
Just some thoughts for you as you move forward and try to provide your users with info.

Seems counter-intuitive to upgrade from QuickTime 10.3 to QuickTime 7 just to get to QuickTime Pro. Is there no QuickTime 10.3 Pro?

It seems counter-intuitive to upgrade from QuickTime 10.3 to QuickTime 7 just to get to QuickTime Pro. Am I missing something here? Is there no QuickTime 10.3 Pro?

QuickTime Pro is based on the QuickTime 7 code, and requires it to run. The old QuickTime was initially intended for movie and sound bites, such as you might find embedded in a Web page. It was not intended for handling the massive size and quantity of current movie and music formats, and Apple had to work the code in odd ways to get it to run the latest content. Not being ideal, Apple decided to re-write QuickTime from the ground up. It has kept QuickTime 7 and its supported features (ie, QuickTime Pro) for compatibility, but is moving foward with the next generation of QuickTime, called QuickTime X. So far this does not have a "Pro" version add-on, and Apple has not indicated it is developing one. For now, if you want advanced features you will need to use software like Final Cut Pro, or a third-party program, which make these routines available to you. There are also a number of third-party tools that do similar features, without interfacing with QuickTime at all.

Firefox 4.0.1 closes with no error message. When I restore the session I get: Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page. What can I do?

After opening certain websites, pogo, firefox 4.0.1 closes with no error message. When I restore the session I get: Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.
I have had this problem before and had to reinstall an earlier version of firefox.
The error console has a long list of errors, many of them end with: does not implement nsIObserver. Is there a way to send the information on the error console to firefox support?
Redownloading Firefox 4.0 will fix my problem until I either close firefox or turn off my computer. The problem recurs when I open firefox again.

I turn on my computer, click on the Firefox icon on my desktop, the web browser appears but the same screen always appears and says, "Well this is embarrassing" and says the problem is due to a previously opened tab.

I am online everyday. I turn on my computer and click on the Firefox icon. A web browser appears but not with my Yahoo! homepage. Instead of seeing my Yahoo! homepage I see a screen that says, "Well this is embarrassing." I read that the problem is due to a recently opened tab. It gives me the options of either restoring all previously used tabs from the last time of use or starting a new session. If I choose to restore previous tabs, I am further given the option to select which tabs I want restored and which ones I don't want to restore. I always choose to start a new session because all previous tabs consist of work that I have completed in the past (whether it be yesterday or the day before). I, therefore, have no interest in restoring a tab that contained an article about our current economic situation for example. As previously stated, I choose to start a new session every time I receive the "Well this is embarrassing" error message. When I choose this option, I am brought to a fresh tab with no information regarding work, articles, or entertainment from yesterday or some time in the past. I wish to have an explanation as to why this happens. I do not go on any malicious web sites or anything of the sort. This happens every single day. The automatic error message that appears is "Well this is embarrassing." For Firefox to say "Well this is embarrassing" is not close to the response it should give.

I have been trying for an hour to delete all of the photos from my iphone5. Can't do it, except for 1 at a time. I can't even connect it to my PC and delete them from my computer. Why isn't this easy and intuitive?

I have been trying for an hour to delete all of the photos from my iPhone 5. I have googled it several times and there doesn't seem to be a solution. Have tried deleting them from my PC. One at a time deleting is impractical - I have 1000 photos! Why isn't this easy and intuitive?

When you hooked up to your PC did they attempt to import? Had you imported them previously and not deleted when the import was complete?
If you have to delete them directly on your device, you need to press the select button and just keep selecting until you have all of them selected, then put them in the trash.
You do not need to select one then trash it, then select another then trash it. You can select as many as you like before clicking on the trash icon.

How do I clear the "Well this is embarising" screen? It will not let me run the program and I have deleated the program just to reload it and get same screen!

The screen that says, "Well this is embarrassing" and asks to either remove a tab or start a new session, which I cannot do neither. I have deleted the program several times and when I reload it the same screen comes up and the program freezes. Task manager is the only way to remove it from my screen. I need to find the location of that screen and delete it.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Applying changes to stacks, counter intuitive?

Help says:
Here are a few tips for working with stacks:
Any develop adjustments, ratings, flags, or color labels applied to a collapsed stack affect only the top photo.
If you select a photo in a stack and add it to a Quick Collection or collection, only the selected photo is added, not the entire stack.
Both of the resulting actions seem counter intuitive. Assuming that stacks are clearly identified, I want all of the flags, ratings, tags, and adjustments to act on the entire group. Grrrr.

For me when I group a stack of photos primarily when they are sufficiently the same in a way that I don't need retain a view of them. Either multiple shots of the same subject, or from the same event. So more often than not I will want to apply changes to all as a set. I can't think of a reason I would want to change only the top photo. If I want to work with an individual photo, I will go out of my way to do that, but isn't LR supposed to help up when dealing with many many photos? LR is the rule, PS is for the exceptions, isn't that what we've been told?

How do I get up the 'Well this is embarassing' page again so I can restore certain tabs?

I opened Firefox hoping that my previous tabs would come up. I got the 'Well this is embarrassing' page and quit it without thinking. I now realise you can choose to restore some of these tabs so I would like to return to this page but don't know how to get it back.
If I can't get the page back then I'd also like to know how to go to my history and select numerous pages to be opened in separate tabs. Currently I have to do this by opening a tab, going to yesterday's history and double clicking it to open which causes the window to disappear whilst the page is opening. I then have to open a new tab, go back to the history and then select another page. I would like to make multiple selections in this list and then have them open in separate tabs, rather than this drawn out process of opening them one by one in new tabs.

If you want that page then type about:sessionrestore in the location bar.
Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows. 
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.

Firefox 18.0 running on Mac 10.6.8: Error message "Well, this is embarrassing."

My computer recently upgraded to Firefox 18.0, and since then Firefox has been usable. With every link, I get a revolving, multi-colored wheel and, eventually, the following error message:
Well, this is embarrassing.
Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.
You can try:
Removing one or more tabs that you think may be causing the problem
Starting an entirely new browsing session
I can't figure out how to fix the problem. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks.

I started the same problem after upgrading to firefox 20 and I use no
extensions. It happens everytime I start up. I tried safe mode - no good.
I am not sure what to do next. I am a senior citizen and I would love
a reliable answer that is not in "techlish"

When will the "Well, this is embarrassing..." problem going to be fixed? A lot of folks are having the problem. Do I need to just switch back to Safari?

When I log onto Moz., get an error message starting with, Well this is embarrassing... I don't have any clue what to do about it except to switch to a browser that is working.

I upgraded to FF Ver 20.0 a couple of months ago, and that is when this "Well, this is embarrassing" nonsense started. I've been using Firefox for many years on my several Mac computers, and it is only with this LAST upgrade that I have been getting this "error" message every time I start Firefox. YES, I have figured out how to avoid this problem by simply making sure that the particular window I want to START with is on the screen before I click the "Quit Firefox" tab under the "Firefox" word on the top menu. BUT HAVING TO DO THAT EVERY TIME I CLOSE FIREFOX IS NONSENSICAL !! Why do I have to do that now, when I've never had to do that before? It makes no sense. To avoid desktop clutter, I have always closed the open Firefox windows on the screen, but leave Firefox running in the background; then, when I want to get back on the internet an hour later and re-open Firefox (as I have done thousands of times in the past), now I get that nonsensical "Well, this is embarrassing" message again. It is extremely irritating, and totally unnecessary.
MOZILLA/FIREFOX Team ---- whatever you did, you must FIX this irritating problem which so MANY of us faithful Firefox users are now facing.

Please can you send me a fix for the error message that starts up when I open Firefox. It says " well this is embarrassing," and asks if I want to close the tab

Please can someone tell how to fix the problem I have with firefox on a mac OS. When firefox opens it comes up with an error message " well this is embarrassing...." and continues to ask if I want to close or restore the tabs that are open.
Does anyone have a simple fix?
Thank you
Beamer

Hello Beamer, you must update to latest (21.0) version, the bug it is fixed in firefox 21!

On starting up gives message "Well, this is embarrasing." can not clear.

When opening the web site I get a message "Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.
You can try:
* Removing one or more tabs that you think may be causing the problem.
* Starting an entirely new session".
I have started a new session and can open the session at my e-mail. The Yahoo e-mail is opened but after 30 seconds it closes down the session and returns to Windows opening page.
There is no problem if the new session starts on to any other website.

Are you closing Firefox before shutting down your PC? 
If you are getting that message all the time, my guess is that Firefox isn't completely closed when you do shut your PC down.

Well, this is counter-intuitive!
