When will Brush Strokes be 16-bit compatible in PS CC?

It was announced, then confirmed in the current PS CC product manual that Brush Strokes would be made 16-bit compatible, and it is not. What time frame can we expect to see this functioning?
Pete

Ahhh... Brush strokes filter.

When will Firefox version 27.1 be compatible with aol toolbar used with my iMac OS version 10.7.5? I cannot install version Firefox 27.1 until fix is in place

I have an iMac desktop Operating System version 10.7.5.
Current Firefox Version 26 allows me to use AOL toolbar.
When I went to download / install updated Firefox version 27.1, message that appeared
said this version was incompatible with AOL toolbar.
Installation could only be complete if I disabled AOL toolbar which is NOT an option.
Please advise when this Firefox version 27.1 incompability issue will be fixed.
Thanks in advance.

The message likely said it was the toolbar that was not compatible with Firefox 27.0.1. It is up to the Extension authors to make their Extension compatible with Firefox not the other way.
Unless the Extension is ties with a application with a binary like with Antivirus toolbars, the majority of Extensions that have been compatible since say Firefox 10.0 should still work for example.
Have you checked for updates for this Aol toolbar extension?

When will Firefox offer a 64-bit version ? I use my 32-bit Firefox,but keep my 64-bit Waterfox and Pale Moon ready, when Firefox crashes on Windows 8.

I am a Firefox Veteran. Been around since the NCSA web browser days and used the first Firefox web browsers. I have never liked or trusted Microsoft Windows, so I've never used Internet Explorer. I had tweaked Windoze Blue Screen Of Death software from the Windows 3.0 days and did minor maintenance on the "Pizza Boxes" to keep them alive until I or my duty station could afford a newer one. Firefox has always performed for me working for "Uncle Sam" or at home. I keep Firefox and the versions: Sea Monkey, Aurora, Nightly on my laptop because I like Firefox and I like to switch from one browser to the other sometimes -- plus, in a Windows crash, I have a backup browser. Windows always "Crashes"; somethings never change. My 32-bit Firefox doesn't seem as reliable on my 64-bit 'Windoze' 8 as it was on Windows 7. My hope is that some of the Firefox Gurus have a 64-bit Firefox up on blocks in the shed out back ready to rock and roll or at least release as experimental to be played with and tested. Thanks guys -- Keep up the good work. Sam

Someday. This is a question asked multiple times but the answer is always the same, there is no real benefit to moving to 64 bit Firefox, and the amount of work required to do something with no benefit makes this a low priority. Eventually it will happen, but just because it uses 64bit doesn't magically make things better.

When will there be a 64-bit Linux version?

After fillinging out a long fill-in procedure to apply for a US passport, I found that the Linux program Okular could not finish.
I had to use a 32-bit Linux program that had Adobe Reader available, since there is no 64-bit generic version of Reader,
and PCLinuxOS-64 does not have any provision for running the 32-bit version.. I do not want to use the two or three
Linux-64 distros that permit that 32-bit use, since they have many other ideosyncracies which I deplore.

I'm sorry "Test Screen Name", but could you please point to any more definitive announcements that there will be no more development of Linux versions of Adobe Reader? Thanks.

When will freemake video converter plugin be compatible with firefox 5?

firefox keeps asking me to download latest version of the browser, but then says freemake video converter plugin is not compatible and will be disabled. i dont want to stop using FVC.

Until this add-on's developer has tested it and marked it compatible with Firefox 5, you can install the '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Add-on Compatibility Reporter]''' to will re-enable it and tell us whether it is working or not.

Why is Illust. CS6 generating an additional rectangular path when converting brush stroke to path?

I depend on custom brushes where I convert those brushes to outlines and then "Unite" those objects in Pathfinder.
I never had any problems through CS5, but now CS6 is adding an additional rectangular path surrounding the object, so when I go to unite multiple objects I get a bunch of united rectangles instead of pine needles, for example. What the heck.
Thanks in advance for any solutions to this issue.

In older versions of Illustrator (about AI 9 or 10) there was a trick to avoid getting similar superfluous paths by first selecting all objects (or just the brush objects), then applying the Effect > Distort and Transform > Transform Effect in placebo mode (just take the default values).
After that, you could go to Object > Expand Appearance.
Not sure if that bumpy workaround still works in AI CS6.

When will Apple develop a 64 bit version of Safari for Windows?

I've been using this browser for a while now and absolutely love it!
Features that stand out from the crowd are:
Apples unique font smoothing technology.
Best colour management available on any browser.
Speed.
Excellent web standards coverage.
Most of the competitors are now developing 64 bit versions in preparation for the release of 64 bit Flash and Silverlight. Apple cites improvements for it's Mac OS version 64bit vs the 32 bit. If development isn't in the works then it should be for Windows!

The only version of Firefox that is currently compatible with Blackboard 9.1 is Firefox 3.6

That is up to Blackboard to catch up with the Firefox releases.

When will USB 3.0 be truly backwards compatible with USB 2.0 audio interfaces?

hello
I own a U46DJ mkII audio interface. I use the interface for music production, particularly recording vocals.
The device performs well on my windows laptop, I can record clean vocals with no artifacts. On the macbook pro however, the incoming audio signal is full of digital pops and clicks.
After spending a few days searching for solutions on google I narrowed it down to the USB 3.0 ports on the new macbook pro.
Lots of people with with all different brands of audio interface are experiencing problems while connecting them to USB 3.0 ports.
Here is an article on the topic: http://createdigitalmusic.com/2012/06/usb-3-0-backwards-compatible-in-theory-but -some-audio-drivers-arent-cooperating/
So, when will USB 3 be truly backwards compatible with our USB 2 devices?

Tuesday. That's what I heard.
Perhaps the driver is the problem. Check with the interface manufacturer.
I have a Focusrite USB interface that sounds great but Pro Tools and Logic kept crashing when I used it. I went back and forth with Focusrite, they had several beta drivers which they sent me, none of which fixed the problem. Turns out the interface works better without the driver from the manufacturer.
I find it hard to blame Apple for this. It's not like they didn't have the ML beta out for a long time for all the device manufacturers to test their drivers and their hardware with. Apple can't keep tabs on every third party developer on the planet and design their software and hardware to keep all of them happy.
If you want to give Apple some feedback you can do it here: Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback

When will Lightning be compatible for firefox 29.0 on linux/ubuntu 14.04?

Tried to install Lighning on Firefox 29.0 and it would NOT due to incompatibility. When will lightning be updated to be compatible with v29.0 of Firefox?

In that link I posted it says '''Works with SeaMonkey and Thunderbird'''. If it worked with Firefox also (which no version has) then it would be mentioned also.
Are you actually trying to install it in Firefox on purpose when it will never work or are you trying to get this installed in Thunderbird?
For Thunderbird you need to right-click and save this extension to disk and then install it in Thunderbird.
These are what the Lightning extension works with
*http://www.seamonkey-project.org/

The Lightning calendar works with the email in Thunderbird and email client in the SeaMonkey suite. Firefox however is only a web browser. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/projects/calendar/

Need info about making brush strokes into objects

I have been using a Wacom graphics tablet and Freehand to create my illustrations for many years (since Freehand v.2). Since Freehand's days are obviously numbered, I have finally decided to make the switch. So far, it hasn't been that difficult, but I seem to get stuck on one problem, and for me, it is a pretty big one.
In Freehand, I select the "variable stroke" tool in order to make a variable width line. It actually doesn't make a stroke, though. It makes a shape. I can then select the points anywhere on the edge of the shape and make adjustments.
In Illustrator, I do basically the same thing. I make a stroke, and the more pressure I put on the tablet the thicker the line gets. So far, so good. But, I can't do any adjustments to the thickness, make the ends of the line taper to a point, etc. So in order to make that stroke into a shape (with points along the outside edge) that I can adjust, I have to select the stroke, go to Object, then Expand Appearance for each stroke I make. This is a tremendous timewaster for me.
My question: Is there any way to make the "Expand Appearance" function stay on so that every stroke I make is automatically converted to a shape? Or, is there another function in Illustrator CS1 that I can select that will make all of my strokes shapes as I draw them?
If it will help, you can look at some of my work to see how I use the Variable Stroke tool and how essential it is to my style of illustration at: http://www.norrishallstudio.com

Norris,
Illustrator 7 and earlier drew all brush strokes as filled shapes. (It only had calligraphic brushes.) The live centerline arrived in AI 8, along with the other brush types.
While Illustrator does not have any "auto Expand" option, and one could theoretically be added, I wonder if it might not instead be preferable to give direct user interface control over the data collected by the tablet.
For example, take the following brush stroke:
If expanded, it would look like this:
But even though the individual anchor points of the fill shape would then be editable, it would still not be convenient to do most kinds of editing. The centerline kind of edits would become very difficult. But even doing things that preserve the centerline, such as thickening the stroke or adjusting the apparent pen tilt, you would have to move anchor points on both sides, possibly adding some, adjusting handle lengths, etc.
What if there was an option, possibly available via a button on the Control Palette when a brush stroke was selected, to show control handles for the pressure and other tablet data, something like this:
The controls would have sensitive regions that activated different kinds of variation, similar to how the Bounding Box transform controls do. Possibly it would be workable to control them via the Direct Select tool, but if that turned out to interfere too much with other Direct Select tool operations (such as adjusting the direction handles of the centerline, which would be likely to often be near the pressure controls), then there could be a dedicated tool or mode for adjusting them.
There are up to 5 kinds of tablet data that are collected at each sample point: pressure, tilt, bearing, rotation, and stylus barrel pressure. But only at most four can have meaning for any brush stroke, since there are at most four brush options that can be assigned tablet data to vary by. (For calligraphic brushes, the options are angle, roundness and diameter. For scatter brushes, they are size, spacing, scatter and rotation.)
If the tablet data controls had the I-beam shape shown above, there are four easily distinguishable aspects of the control: its length, its angle relative to the centerline, the width of the crossbars, and the tilt of the crossbars relative to the I-beam vertical.
(One could imagine assigning more variation, such as controlling the two crossbars independently, or moving the I-beam offcenter, but the more variables one allows, the trickier it gets to manipulate.) One could say that the length controlled whichever tablet data point was attached to the diameter or size of the brush, the I-beam angle controlled whichever tablet data point was attached to the brush angle or rotation, the crossbar width controlled whichever tablet data point was attached to the brush spacing or roundness, and the crossbar tilt controlled whichever tablet data point was attached to the scatter distance of a scatter brush. (One could also imagine calligraphic brushes having a symmetry setting, that controlled whether the brush shape was elliptical or squashed like a pear, and attach that to the crossbar tilt.)
Since there would be way too much visual clutter to show every sample point, I think it should be sufficient to show them at anchor points, and possibly at max and min values for the variable data. If the user wanted to gain control at a position where there was no marker displayed, they could always add an anchor point.
Although I am calling it "tablet data", a path drawn with a mouse or with one of the shape tools could still have the controls. It would start initally with all "average" values since no data was collected, and tablet data would be artificially constructed by moving the controls and then saved.
If controls like that were available for live brush strokes, would you still prefer to auto-expand your brush strokes on mouse up instead of leaving them live?
(For all I know, there may be some third-party plugin that already provides some such controls. The tablet data can be accessed and modified through the AITabletData suite in the public SDK.)

CC: Aren't Filter Gallery, Brush Strokes & Artistic suppose to be 16-bit now?

Dear Forum:
I have used Photoshop since Version 2. I at long last downloaded a trial of CC (I currently use CS6) in the hopes that Filter Gallery, Artistic and Brush Strokes now support 16-bit processing. I even downloaded the instruction manual for CC, and it said it was supported. But alas, it is not working. Is this because I am on a trial vesion or did these features not get flushed out as promised? All versions of the above work in 8-bit mode.
Pete

Hi Curt!
Thanks for your reply. I have been waiting since Version 7 for Brush Strokes--Angled Strokes to be 16 bit---really need it. Any hope that it will happen SOON? My pimary reason for upgrading to CC.
I also noticed that Smart Blur is not up and running yet.
I like having Camera RAW as a filter--helpful.
Pete

When I use my brush tool, it works fine unless I overlap the brush with another brush stroke.

When I use my brush tool, it works fine unless I overlap the brush with another brush stroke. When that happens it turns bright red. How do I fix this and turn it back to the default setting?

I was all ready to say you have fill turned down until I got to the bit about it turning red. Does this happen on a new document with a single layer, or only on multi layer documents? So like cp says... brush or layer mode most probably. I did wonder about Quick mask though.

Error when holding Shift to constrain a brush stroke.

When we hold Shift while painting with the brush or pencil tool the stroke is constrained to a 180, 90 or 45 degree angle.
This is helpful, however, ever since CS4, when we do this, a faint brush line appears to connect the end of the first stroke with the beginning of the next creating all sorts of unwanted effects. This happens regardless of where we make the next stroke.
The only way of not having this happen is to keep reselecting the brush tool (keypoard shortcut B) after each stroke. When there are many lines to draw, doing this creates unnecessary delay in workflow.
Has anyone found the same problem or perhaps a solution to this?

If you insist on working that way, try turning on the grid. When you get to the end of a brush stroke, release the mouse button, and make sure the cursor is close to the end of the last stroke before starting your next stroke. So long as you have 'snap to grid' turned on, this will prevent any overrun - if that is what is causing you problems. But much better to do what advised in #1 and realease the shift key > move to the next point, and hold down the Shift key while clicking with the mouse.
A nice quick way to set the grid to a useful spacing is to use the Image size dialogue window, and change the resolution setting with Resample unchecked. A higher resolution makes wider grid spacing.

When will Brush Strokes be 16-bit compatible in PS CC?
