    Adobe CS2 running on Intel machines - Rosetta?

    Checking my processes, I see photoshop is listing 1.5 Gb as a virtual size, and I don't have anything open in it now. Would that be a symptom of my performance? Keeping in mind I only have 1 Gig RAM (didn't expect to ever say that) Processes: 56 total, 2 running, 54 sleeping... 190 threads...

    Adobe CS2 running on Intel machines - Rosetta?

    I have to say I definetly notice a slow-down. Coming from a 933 G4 1 Gig RAM with PS7, to a Core2 Dou iMac 2.16 1 Gig RAM with CS2. I have noticed it takes forever to swap over to Photoshop when I have anything in my paste-board. Looking at the benchmarks, my CS2 seems to run slower. But I did...

    Graphics app to do RGB combination?

    Shouldn't be that hard in Photoshop. Open up the channels tab. Go to your 1st greyscale image select all and copy. Click on the Red channel in PS and paste. Repeat for green and blue.

    Intel iMac performance

    I recently got a 20" iMac 2.16 GHz Core 2 Dou. At first, I was impressed with it, but lately I'm seeing the spinning beachball way too much. I upgraded from Photoshop 7 to Adobe CS2 - and It just seems to run slower. Anyone notice this? Particulary when I'm shutting down, swapping from app...

    "Colored Spinning Ball" Won't Go Away On Desktop - Help!

    try and boot from your install disk put it in the dvd / cd drive and hold down C while it boots up See if the same thing happens. You may need to re-install the system. I don't remember if there are any disk tools on the install disks, but if so try them to diagnose the problem

    O.k. I found the problem.. I think I downloaded the latest iPod Update - and now it mounts. But it still took me 3 or 4 times of plugging and disconnecting.

    PowerPoint:mac X

    Powerpoint only allows you to have 2 masters - the Title and the remainder. After you define these 2, the slide layout options are based on them. I don't think you can edit the individual options.

    File Icon Format

    You need to save as .ico format. I use Iconographer to create them. The file contains multiple resolutions and bit depth images i.e. 128x128, 48x48, 32x32, 16x16 in 32 bits, 8 bits, 4 bits, 1 bit etc

    Calssic not starting up with 10.3.9

    Since I've updated from 10.3.8 to 10.3.9, I have not been able to start Classic from OSX. It gets 99% of the way and hangs. Though the Terminal, I type "top" and find that at times TrueBlue (or whatever that process is called) takes up to 300% of resources! I can boot directly into OS 9.2 by...

    Flash swf quirks

    I built it on a mac, and exported a PC standalone projector. It happens on my 933 G4 as well as a number of desktop and laptop PCs. I suspect it is related to the size. but unfortunately I need it to be that size to accomodate screenshots. (the Movie is a demo of our software) If I shrink it...

    Flash swf quirks

    I've produced some swf movies 1024x768 30 fps... I'm getting occasional scan line problems.. Its as if the monitor refresh rate lags behind or something.. but only for about 10 - 20 scanlines. It has an effect like you smacked the monitor. Any suggestions for solving this? I figure 30fps will...

    Looking for software

    I checked out Motion and was very excited until I learned my graphics card isn't fast enough :( Any other suggestions for cheap video editing? I've been using iMovie, but I can't successfully import a 187MB mpeg. It's 320x240 and iMovie is blowing it up to 480 x 720 and balooning the file to...

    HDRI on a Mac

    I used a chrome ball - from those asian therapy balls - they are a little scratched, tho. The ball needs to be highly reflective - some people have used Christmas ornaments, but the best method is from 1" or 2" ball bearings. Debevec.org has everything you need to know about it...

    HDRI on a Mac

    I've been using an open source 3D program lately called Radiance. It is a very accurate global illumination renderer. Now that I have a digital camera and a reflective metal ball, I can do "Image-based lighting" as demonstrated by Paul Debevec. It involves taking many pictures of the ball - each...
