Zoom Display Anomoly

Working on an image this evening and needed to do some pixel level editing, and noticed two issues, they may be just on my system, but if someone else would check them out.
First, going to the navigator panel and select the zoom percentage, then using the up arrow to increase the zoom factor - the percentage value increases but the zoom does not work - for example my image is zoomed to 100% in the edit window, highlight the percentage zoom, increase the zoom amount using the up arrow to say 170% - but the image stays at 100%
Second, once you zoom to say 500% instead of seeing a highly pixelated image I see the suit material - like we saw before but cannot remember the bug that was being discussed. This maybe a driver issue - but just upgraded to the latest driver for the Intel 40000. Update at a zoom factor of 495% I see a pixelated image - at 520% and greater I see the suit fabric - yes sometimes for portrait retouching I do work at 500% ort higher
Here is the fabric at 520% zoom factor

Yes, hitting the enter key works, but wish it were interactive like the other controls - Layer Opacity for example - pixel peeping and having to keep hitting enter is not as productive as just holding an arrow key down.
You are right about pixel grid being set as on - never used that before so must be on by default. Now I know that pixel grid activates at a zoom level of 500% - lower magnifications and you don't see the grid.
Thanks - leaned something tonight
Now off to bed

Extreme Close-up: I can't reset the zoomed display

My laptop monitor is now in extreme zoom mode, and the screen moves in accordance with my mouse. It's just like grabbing a screen with the hand icon, but I just can't drop it. The resolution settings in my system preferences do not help, nor does the restart. I must of turned on some option for the visually impaired - can someone help return the display back to normal?

I found it - universal settings 'zoom' on/off. Wheew .. now I'll go look for the asprin.

Why does clicking on the Firefox button or right-clicking bring up either a very small thumbnail or a zoomed in view of the menu options?

Whenever I click on the Firefox menu button or right-click on a hyper link within the broswer, instead of a menu of choices, I am presented with either a tiny thumbnail of the page I am on and the menu expanded (also very tiny). After moving the mouse, the thumbnail disappears and becomes a hyper-zoomed display of the menu that should have displayed. The zoom really looks like what an assistive-reading display would look like.

hello, please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]] (this should be the right link for your model & system:
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonaiw_vista64.aspx), or in case this doesn't solve the issue, disable hardware acceleration in ''firefox > options > advanced > general''.

Canon SX50 AF Point Zoom

I just got a refurbished SX50 because they were out of parts to repair mine. On my old camera I had always been using AF point zoom, but on my current one the option is greyed out. How can I get it to turn back on?

According to the user manual the AF point zoom display will not magnify when using digital zoom or tracking AF, so I would check those two settings.

ACR 7.3 Highlight Clipping Indicator

Just updated to the release version of ACR 7.3 and notice some weirdness with the highlight clipping indicator.
The file is from a Nikon D3 set at ISO 3200 with Nikon 24-70 f2.8 (shot at f3.2)
Open the file and all looks OK (it's noisy but what do you expect at ISO 3200). Set enable lens correction and the highlight indicator shows clipping with all other controls set to zero. OK I thought, lens correction is correcting for fall-off at the edges of the frame. Now go to the adjustments panel and just move the highlight conntrol to the left, you would think that the clipping would be reduced or maybe even eliminated - no the highligh clipped area increases in size. Zoomed in to 100% to see if it was a display anomoly, and no the clipping stays the same. The reverse of the shadow clipping I reported back in June.
Would have thought that moving the highlight slider to such an extreme value would have reduced the clipped area not make it grow.......
Here are some screen shots:
Image as opened in ACR
Now with lens adjustment applied
Now with highlight slider set to -85 (all other controls at zero)
Highlight at -85 100% Zoom
Update - something is not right with the displays with this latest version of ACR, opening up the shadows on the same image and the highlight clipping indicators actually show them decreasing
Another Update: These shots were taken in mixed lighting, colored gels adding to the mood of the icerink that were periodically changing color, ranging from Blue, Green, Red and combinations. Using the white balance picker on the white background the highlight clipped areas went away, but changing the color balance destroyed the mood of the scene as negated the color lighting effect. But should a change in color balance effect the highlight clipping so dramatically? Basically it looks like the highlight clipping indicator is being effected by contrast rather than the actual highlight values?

We were discussing this in another thread several months ago
So, under certain conditions and when some camera profiles are used (both Nikon and Canon), it can happen that trying to reduce clipped area with sliders actually increases that area. It's caused by the profile as made by the factory (Nikon, Canon) and isn't ACR issue. I think I also posted a graphical representation of one profile showing why it happens. If not, I can post it
The fact is - sRGB / Adobe RGB gamut is smaller than gamut of raw image, so some colors are clipped even if they are not clipped in raw color space, sometimes in slightly unexpected way. However, if Adobe standard profile is used, clipping is performed according to ACR workflow which also has some drawbacks, which we also discussed in another thread on raw image from Olympus camera, several months ago
Showing area with RGB 170,165,180 as clipped is unexpected - can you post the sample ?

How can I get a full screen on facetime

How can I get a full screen on FaceTime

You woul dprobably need to choose a zoom display mode on the TV.
Any screem shots / promos for mirroring I've seen have been 4:3 ratio like the iPad screen resolution.
To me this would be an obvious source of frustration to users of 16:9 TVs - unless there's an ipad 2 mode to somehow run in 16:9 not using the whole screen or not displaying the edges for mirroring, AppleTV2 may not be able to fill the screen

I have an enlarged screen. How do i get it back to its normal size?

I have an enlarged screen that will not go back to its' normal size. How can I get rid of this large screen? I have lost the option to use File, Force Quit. There is no yellow button to drop the current screen and there is no red button to quit the current screen. I have right double clicked and left double clicked and there are no options to reduce or quit. After I figure out how to get rid of this large screen, I also need to figure out how this happened so I will be careful not to do it again. Would very much appreciate any help, but will have to look for responses on my cell phone because I cannot access my email on this computer.

You have not completed a profile, so we have no idea what version of OS X you have installed. Please do that before posting a new thread. If you don't know how please click Profile Update for instructions.
To turn on a zoomed display, open System Preferences - Accesiblity - highlight Zoom in the left panel and checkmark the box called use keyboard shortcuts to zoom then use the correct keyboard shortcut.

Iphone 6 won't lock into landscape mode, keep switching back to portrait mode

Hi,
Please help me, this has driven me nut, I can't seem to lock my iphone 6 into landscape mode, it will only lock my screen when I am in portrait mode.
For example, if I open safari and turn my phone sideway, safari would turn into landscape mode, and if I want to lock my screen to keep it in landscape mode, it won't do it, as soon as I select that screen lock button, it will turn back to portrait mode and lock my screen up into portrait mode.
What should I do to keep my screen lock at landscape mode??? I have tried this with several apps and the same thing happen, like in Calculator, when I turn it sideway and try to lock it, it goes right back to portrait mode.
I restored my iPhone 6 from my iPhone 5c so just wonder if it has anything to do with that or just some bugs in iOS8???
My current display is in Standard and not Zoom display, and I even try to set it as Zoom and then reset it back to Standard to try to see if it works and it still doesn't work.
HELP ME!!!!

I Just spent over an hour with support on this issue and apparently in iOS 8 they removed the option for the phones to lock in landscape mode. So, there is nothing wrong with your phone, unfortunately they removed a very useful feature. Maybe they will see if enough users want it they will fix it in an update.

DAQ+storage must happen independent of other screens OR user interaction

I have a problem here.
Program has 3 screens
screen 1
To save user entered parameters. Example - acquisition period value, data storage location, averaging
screen 2
-data acquisition(DAQ) takes place
-graphs are displayed for user
-additional user parameter selection (user selected momentary temperature acquisition)
screen 3:
Zoomed displays of graphs user has selected from screen2 graphs
Problem:
When I go from screen2 to screen1/screen3 , data acquisition should not stop. It must continue.
And the user entered parametrs on screen1 must be immediately effective in screen2 (DAQ + storage part)
What is the best Tree structure? How should be interdependability? 'tab'
control won't work and I guess neither event structure would. I have LabVIEW 7.0
Since this is basic part of program structure, once begun , it's hard to modify the basic frame.
Thanks in advance for Inputs, Ideas,help.
Sandeep

The best way to implement this is using a background VI for DAQ+storage. Load this VI from your main VI with Open VI Reference and start the VI with the Invoke node Run VI. Use a named queue to send data from your UI VI to the background VI. Use a strict typedef for the data to transfer over the queue. This way the background VI will get the configuration information. Use another named queue or a named notifier to send the aquired data from the background VI to the UI VI. Notifiers have the advantage that more than one reader can receive the data but if he is to slow he will loose data. Queues don't loose data but you can have only one reader. If screen3 is a subVI of screen2 it can also create a named queue with the same name as in screen2 and read the dat
a. If screen3 is closed screen2 will read the data but the data read by screen3 will be missing. If you don't want this you have to load screen3 and run it with Run VI and screen2 has to forward the data to screen3 over another named queue.
Look for Bens example of who to run UI VIs independently. You only need to add the fourth VI for the DAQ+storage and the queue to communicate between the VIs and of course the code and controls to do the things you want.

Can I change the aspect ratio of existing projects?

Over the past few years, I created a number of iDVD projects of special occasions. I guess the default aspect ration in the older versions of iDVD was 4:3. I now have a widescreen TV and would like to view these videos in 16:9 mode. The TV can change aspect ratios but it distorts the video. Is there a relatively easy was to redo IDVD projects to change the aspect ratio to widescreen?

The TV can change aspect ratios but it distorts the video. Is there a relatively easy was to redo IDVD projects to change the aspect ratio to widescreen?
Depends on your goals here. You can duplicate what your widescreen TV and do fairly easily but you would still end up with screen distortion if you use the entire 4:3 display area. It is is also reasonably easy to crop your 4:3 aspect to a 16:9 area within the 4:3 viewing area and burn this to a DVD. While this would prevent distortion, part of your viewing area would be lost and the result would be the same as using the the "Zoom" display on your widescreen TV. A third option might be to select a 16:9 viewing area within the original 4:3 display area. Unfortunately, this would would normally require an advanced editing application or cropping and scaling either as a whole or in selected segments. In either case it requires a much greater effort on the part of the user.
In short, actually changing an aspect ratio from is original aspect is either easy but causes distortion or it is difficult and time consuming. Further, in either case you are merely duplicating what your TV can already do. If you don't want distortion, use 16:9 "sourced" (either original or cropped) content. If you want to reduce the distortion (and your particular TV has the option), use the "Justify" viewing option which applies little or no distortion at the center of the viewing area and most distorion towards the left-right edges of the screen. Otherwise learn to live with the distortion and decide whether you prefer the distortion being applied to the DVD or just on the viewing screen.

Screen moves in conjunction with mouse and system is off (Mac OS 10.5.8)

Hi,
My daughter hit some keys and suddenly my screen moves around with my mouse (not independently) and the system or software seems to have reverted back to the 90's. The text is blurry on everything (desktop, Internet, etc.) and the system seems to be running slower, etc. I have restarted and tried other things but can't restore it. Please help!!! Thank you.

Photoshop Redraw or Rendering Issue?

Hi,
I am getting this wierd pixelisation of my work screen in Photoshop 5 on a Macbook Pro Running 10.7.3 - has anyone got any solutions? It seemed to only start happening when I upgraded to Lion.
It only happens when I am moving stuff.
Thanks Robin

Robin, it might be helpful if you'd tell us what we're looking at...
Is it a screen grab from an image you're working on at lower than 100% zoom?
It only happens when I am moving stuff.
If you're talking about the resampling for zoomed displays being different when moving document windows around (vs. when they're stationary and you're doing edits), that's because OpenGL drawing is temporarily turned off for the display of the image while you're moving its window around.
Zoom rendering is different (smoother, higher quality) in OpenGL than non-OpenGL operation.
