What happened to the pencil tool?

Just wondering what happened to the pencil tool because using it garageband would allow me to play through programs like amplitube or guitar rig and record with the effects. I know that garage band now has the amp modeling but I still prefer some of the other programs. Any suggestions how to work around this or did apple just leave out the feature?

Graphic export from Score in Logic 9. What happened to the camera tool?

I used to export graphics from Score view, using a camera tool. It has disappeared in Logic 9. What happened? Screen dump is too low resolution.

Hi
The Score Editor does still have the camera tool (below the Velocity tool in the menu), but it is much better to use the Print to PDF functions built in to OSX.
Select Print, then click th ePDF button in the dialog box.

What Happened to the Typewriter tool?

I just clicked on tools and every other heading and can't find the typewriter tool. What happened to it?

At least that is the case in AA9. What version of AA are you using?

What happened to the Contrast tool?

Can someone tell me what the contrast tool is doing? Maybe I'm ignorant of how it's supposed to work in iPhoto, but it doesn't look like it's doing anything with the contrast when I use the slider. Increasing the contrast in iPhoto 08 looks to me as if it's doing nothing but desaturating the photo, and draining it's color. I know it doesn't work the way I'm used to it in iPhoto 06, Aperture, or even Lightroom, and I've corrected photos in those programs that were seriously lacking in contrast by simply sliding the contrast slider to the right to increase contrast.
I never use the brightness tool in any program because using the exposure tool works so much better, and the hightlight and shadow tools work well for bringing out detail in burned out and shadowed areas, but what in the world is this contrast tool doing in iPhoto 08?
Thanks
Joshua

Thank you for your explanation. I agree, the brightness slider was never very effective at restoring detail from a dark or underexposed photo. I do hope that Apple will "fix" the contrast slider because although the histogram may be saying that the contrast is improving, the photo itself shows absolutely no improvement in contrast.
In all the editing programs I've used, I've never seen a contrast slider remove color and saturation from a photo when it should be increasing contrast. It almost seems like the slider is working backwards. It seems to work about the opposite of how contrast controls worked iPhoto 06.
I recall editing a wedding shoot a few weeks ago in Aperture and I ran across a few photos that I thought were so lacking in contrast that they were beyond hope. To my surprise, dragging the contrast slider a little to the right restored these photos almost perfectly. The contrast slider worked perfectly and thats how it used to work in iPhoto 06.
As it stands right now the contrast tool in iPhoto 08 is completely useless for improving contrast.

What happened to the search tool?

Where oh where has the search tool gone? Without a search feature, this forum is nearly worthless. I see a search bar at the very top, but that searches the whole Apple site. What gives?

The hosts temporarily disabled it for performance reasons. Use Google or another external engine to perform an advanced search.

What happened to the type tool in Photoshop CS5?

In previous versions of Photoshop, when the type tool hovered over text I could edit, it switched to just the up and down type cursor tool...and when it was over a region where I could click to create a new text layer, the cursor would show up with a little bounding box around it. Now in CS5, it is showing up as the simple up and down type tool whether I am hovered over text or not....so no way of knowing if a click is going to take me into an editable text layer, or if it is going to create a new type layer..until I actually click..
Has anyone else run into this problem? Any idea the cause, or the solution, or is it just a bug, or something that they changed for some reason?
Thanks!

Hello!
Did you try to reset the text tool? (hit T, then right-click the tool preset icon in the Option bar, and select reset tool)
Usually, to make sure that I can create a new text layer, even if there is already some text, one can hold down the shift key to force the creation of a new text layer.

What happened to the editing tools (like the cut tool) in previous imovies?

i need the cut tool! where is it????? its like imovie got less professional in 08 than the old versions. and how do i get it on timeline mode?

i need the cut tool! where is it?
If you are referring to cutting a clip in the project window, select one or more frames in the clip and use the "Split Clip" Edit menu option to divide the clip into 2 or 3 segments.
and how do i get it on timeline mode?
Use the "slider" beneath the "Project" and "Event" windows to scale the "pseudo" timeline between display of the entire clip as a single clip icon to fully expanded 0.5 second icon segments. When fully expanded, individual frames can be selected with the the entire icon segment displaying the individual frame under the current "playhead" position. Adjusting the display scale and moving through the window along the vertical axis allows you to scrub/select frame ranges quickly while moving along the horizontal axis allows you to scrub/select frame ranges more slowly.

Whats happened to the drawing tools?

Will drawing tools be added anytime soon?
My company has been using Adobe forms on Galaxy and iPad tablets for about a year . Having the ability to draw on .pdf forms has been key in their limited success. With the release of the surface pro 2 and windows 8.1 we were hoping that this product would save the day. So we bought a couple and started testing but right out of the gate we hit a game killer; No drawing tools in the Reader Touch.
Any one know when or if the drawing tools will be added in to the touch version?

Adobe Reader Touch does not support drawing tools as of November, 2013.
Adobe Reader Touch is a relatively new product for Windows 8/8.1. Although it shares the same core engine with Adobe Reader for iOS and Android, platform-specific user interface and functionality need to be implemented from the scratch. So it will take some time for Adobe Reader Touch to catch up with the features that are supported in Adobe Reader for iOS/Android.
Support for the drawing tools is on our feautre ToDo list. But we cannot provide any specific release dates.
As an alternative for now, you may be able to use Microsoft Reader (built-in PDF viewer) instead. Microsoft Reader provides forms support as well. With the Surface Pen included with Surface Pro 2, you should be able to draw on PDF pages.

LR4 - what happened to the mask tool?

In LR 3, when I clicked on the mask tool I could see little circles marking my previous adjustments and I could then click on one of the circles to eliminate it or adjust it. I don't see that anymore. Is there a preference I cannot find that I need to adjust? Thanks!

You could be getting the "custom" heading for the adjustmenst because Lr4.x uses Process Version 2012 and Lr3.x uses Process Version 2010 ... so when Lr4 looks at the older version it may think something more than Exposure was adjusted because of the difference in Process Versions.
You can update to the new PV or just let you legacy images at the older version ... though your Develop adjustmet sliders will be as they were in Lr3 ... Any newly imported images will automatically use PV 2012 ... which has the new Development tools ...

What happened to the Line Tool {from Elements 4}

I have upgraded? From Photoshop Elements 4 to Photoshop Elements 12. Now running on a new Mac Mini. OS-X 10.8.5
I used Elements 4 - 99% of the time, to add text comments, and then Draw a line with arrows at the beginning or end of the line. {to point very specific things in the photo out to others}. With that tool in PSE4 - I could define the width of the line and its color - as well as add Arrowheads to either end of the line.
Opening and looking/learning Photoshop Elements 12 - - I can't find the Line Tool. Please don't tell me I just paid an upgrade fee - to lose the one tool I used most!
Help!

The pencil tool is not working correctly

I've been making my drawing with the pencil tool obviously. After I make a stroke, I continue it with the last anchor point. But sometimes when I do that, the previous stroke disappears completley. Why is that?

That's because Illustrator has got a pretty lame understanding about what should happen when you continue a path in certain angles while the Modify selected paths option is turned on inside the Pencil Tool options.
You can disable that option but I can imagine that this is not what you're really looking for.

How can I add to an existing path using the pencil tool?

This probably seems like a rather elementary question, but
whenever I draw a path using the pencil tool, reselect it,
hover over the endpoint, and the click and drag to extend
the line off into a different direction, Illustrator will often
(but not always) erase the existing path and leave only the
new one that I drew.
To wit:
In step 1 above, I draw a line with the Pencil tool.
In step 2 above, I reselect the line from step 1, hover over the endpoint, and then continue to draw further.
However, as can be seen in step 3, the line from step 1 disappears after I draw the new path.
I am aware of the pencil setting, "Edit selected paths", and I have checked it to edit selected paths
within 12 pixels for the above example. What I am doing in the above example, and what I
want to do, is to be able to add more paths onto an existing one using the pencil tool,
rather than have a completely new path being drawn every time I lift up my pen to finish
drawing the previous path.
I also realize that I can do this with the pen tool; but the pen tool is a more
precise tool (and somewhat more cumbersome), and I prefer to have more
of the rough-handed look from time to time.
Finally, I also know that I can use the direct selection tool to select endpoints
from two different paths and then join them using the join command;
but this seems to be more trouble than it's worth in many cases, especially
if I want to do it frequently for a more long and complicated line.
Am I expecting too much out of Illustrator?
Is my idea of how to use the existing tools wrong in this case?
Is there some piece of knowledge I'm missing?
I'm on Illustrator CS5, Mac OS X 10.6.8, using a Wacom Intuos4 tablet.
However, I have confirmed the above on Illustrator CS4 for Mac as well.
Any help or comments would be much appreciated.
Jeff

Thanks @rcraighead - the Live Paint process seems a bit overkill for simply adding
a new path onto an existing pencil path, but I did try the first idea you suggested,
which was tracing a bit over the last part of the existing path and then continuing
on to extend the path. It's a bit imprecise because the existing path gets slightly
modified, but it seems to work pretty well all in all. Nice idea indeed - thanks a million.
I also found that in AI CS5, I can use the selection tool to select all of the paths
in this case and then join them using the join command. I thought I needed to
select individual anchor points for this to work, but it actually works really
well, better than I thought. I seem to recall that previous versions of Illustrator
were a lot more picky with the Join command, but then again this might just
have been my lack of understanding.
I'm curious to know what other solutions to the above problem that other users
might have, so I will leave this question unanswered for a bit...
but I will use your initial technique described - it seems to work
pretty well, in absence of other options Many thanks again for your timely help.

How can you fix transparency less than 100% when drawing multiple shapes with the pencil tool?

I draw a (fill only) shape at 50% with the pencil tool and when I go to draw another, the transparency jumps back to 100%. I would like it to stay at 50% for every mark I make, anyone know how? I wish to build up multiple semi-translucent vector shapes like in the attached image.
Many Thanks.
Mark

In the bottom of the Appearance Palette, toggle the (deep breath) New Art Maintains Appearance / New Art Has Basic Appearance button (pant pant).
I leave it to you to do three things:
1. Figure out which state of that stupidly-designed single button means which setting.
2. Figure out if the stupidly-designed tooltip that appears when you hover over that stupid button means:
A. ...that what the tooltip reads is the current setting, or...
B. ...that what the tooltip reads is the setting you will get if you click the stupidly-designed single button.
3. Remember what you figured out the next time you need to visit that stupidly-designed button.
Adobe doesn't understand this is a simple yes/no decision, and that a far more intuitive simple labeled checkbox will do.

What happened to the Lightroom 5 Beta forum? Deleted, not archived or merged?

What happened to the Lightroom 5 Beta forum? I understand that LR5.2 is now in full release, but it would be nice if the Beta forum was locked and archived for reference. It seems to have been completely deleted, along with some detailed feedback by myself and other Beta testers. (I can't find it if it is archived, anyway.) None of my many, many LR5Beta forum contributions are listed in my "Content" tab in my Adobe profile. All of the links to the LR5Beta discussion in which I contributed to (such as http://forums.adobe.com/message/5271729#5271729 ) lead me to this message:
"Unauthorized

Big thumbs up for Pete.Green and Daniel T! Thank you for this incredibly fast response! I worked very hard on explaining my "Advanced Adjustment Brush" proposal back in May 2013, and I am glad that it is again available for reference... in fact, even better, as it appears that the thread is now fully unlocked and availble to reply to. I still firmly believe this proposal is the way forward for Lightroom's local adjustment tools in the future. I hope that the remainder of the LR5Beta forums will eventually be brought back for reference.
