There were more bugs reported by you and we appreciate all your comments and valuable input. Some more investigations, and we found out it was related to the daylight savings specifics in the Latin America. We got to the idea that it might be territory related bug when we paid attention to the names of the users who sent us their complaints: after short investigation it appeared that all of them are located in the countries of Latin America (Brazil, Peru, Chile).

![]() ![]() How to Use Content Aware in Photoshop CS5 and CS6 These edits which could take hours of painstaking work with the Clone Stamp and Healing tools previously, can now be accomplished in mere minutes. While not a perfect tool, the Content Aware Fill feature can save lots of time and effort. Also, this tool is very useful for removing elements from a photo for the purpose of placing a new object in the forefront. Perhaps there is a distracting element in a scene that just can't be avoided, or the horizon is a bit crooked in an otherwise gorgeous landscape shot. However, there are going to be times when this is impossible or when mistakes are made. This is located beneath the Crop Tool is you click and hold on it in the Tools panel.Most photographers would agree that whenever possible getting the shot right in camera should be the goal. ![]() The last feature we’ll cover is the brand new Perspective Crop Tool. Anytime you bring up the Crop Tool you can access this cropped area and you can also use Free Transform (Cmd/Ctrl + T) to play with the image as if it had never been cropped. There is a little check box in the Tool Options bar “Delete Cropped Pixels”, leave that ticked off and Photoshop simply hides the cropped portion of your image. Typically you would simply make a duplicate copy not so in Photoshop CS6. I want to crop this to an 8×10, however I’m not sure if I will want the full image for use later. You have your built in presets or you can set and create new sizes that you use a lot. We now have the ability to choose an aspect ratio to constrain the Crop Tool to! This means we can tell the Crop Tool to crop to an 8×10 size, or a 5×7 size without having to get the Rectangular Marquee Tool out and setting a fixed selection etc… etc… This is just great. You can now see exactly where those edges are. One of the other great features of this new Crop Tool is the ability to rotate the crop and have it resize when it hit the edges instead of simply running into the canvas area around your document. We’re going to leave “classic” ticked on. This will revert the tool to behave like it did in previous version of Photoshop. I’m going to drag out a crop over this new image and once you’ve dragged out your crop you can use the hotkey (P) to flip the Crop Tool back to the “classic” mode. Let’s use another image and take a look at a couple of the other new features of this tool! You can simply tap the hotkey (O) to cycle through all the grid overlays you now have.Īdjust your crop and hit the little “check” icon to commit the change. Oftentimes when cropping you want to check the straightness of lines or angles (or even check on spiraling objects i.e. Don’t commit the change yet! This brings us to the next point…Īlso now shared between Photoshop and Lightroom are the cool grid overlays for the Crop Tool. I’m going to drag a line down the side of the Empire State Building and the Crop Tool will do the rest. You can straighten along horizontal or vertical lines. This is pretty much the Ruler Tool’s “Straighten” option, but built in with Crop which will potentially allow up to straighten and crop in one fell swoop without even deleting the cropped pixels! I’m going to clear this crop that I’m playing with by hitting the little “clear” icon in the Tool Options Bar. You are also able to drag the image so the crop falls off the image and get a live preview as that happens. Also, this tool now works like it does over in Lightroom! You move the image underneath the crop instead of dragging the crop around “on top” of the image. When you drag out a new crop selection Photoshop will keep the cropped part of the image in the center of your screen as you move the crop. It contains all kinds of sweet features that I’ll be referring to through the tutorial. When this tool appears, make sure you check out the Tool Options Bar. By default the Crop Tool will be set to crop your entire image (It will not be cutting away any part of you image). The hotkey to select the Crop Tool is (C). Outside of Photoshop’s huge upgrade in the speed department (It’s fast!), this tool is probably my favorite upgrade! Step 1: Photoshop CS6 will address the couple things that I really wanted to see changed in the Crop Tool. I used the Crop Tool every single day, whether is was cutting screenshots, cropping photographs for print, cropping for the web, or just to give clients additional crop options, this tool is one that I use a whole lot. ![]() ![]() ![]() Books of the Bible Word Search #1– Genesis – 2 Kings.Use these worksheets in your children’s Sunday School when you have extra time and need an easy review activity.

When you copy a document with simple text or images and your finished copy contains streaks, lines or other deformities, there's an issue with the copier. The best way to avoid paper dust is to periodically wipe the feed tires clean, and vacuum away dust built up inside the copier. There's also the issue of paper dust, which has a tendency to clog machines and cause paper jams. Fixing these types of issues requires someone manually removing the jammed paper and reloading the proper paper size or correcting the paper alignment. The resulting delay can cause employees to show up late to meetings or miss sensitive deadlines. These issues cause copiers to pull paper through incorrectly, resulting in a jam.

If you haven't seen it, the film depicts a dramatization of typical copier problems for a good laugh.

Noise hurts your ear, and i didn't buy fancy Gelelec Studio Monitors to hear crackling!Īll the superstition about setting the time automatically doesn't sound plausible to me. So obnoxious of an error for those of us who can still hear. It staggers my mind that Apple has had this bug since 2018 probably, and they just don't care enough to fix it. So it is a bug in the firmware for the custom apple audio chip which is in every MacMini and Laptop (they use the same custom Apple chips). Killing the coreaudio process, which auto respawns almost immediately clears the problem. The crackling stops when the audio stream stops, after a few second delay, when the audio unit goes to sleep (to save power). So this means that the noise is after the audio amplifier in the chain. The crackles are fixed in volume and don't go up as you increase the volume. You can tell it is a firmware problem in the Apple audio unit, because if you play music very softly you will hear the crackles.

Slack runs on Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android, Windows Phone and iOS. In addition to these online communication features, Slack is able to integrate with other software. Users can communicate with voice calls, video calls, text messaging, media, and files in private chats or as part of communities called "workspaces." Slack also uses IRC-style features such as persistent chat rooms (channels) organized by topic, private groups, and direct messaging.

But I realized that that was the Esther that everyone fell in love with, and I needed to find a way to marry the two versions of who I was, as a woman now playing Esther, and creating this character of Esther throughout the movie."Įsther is indeed a character, a cherubic child birthed from the mind of Leena Klammer, the adult woman behind the little girl persona we met in the original Orphan. "I actually really spent most of my time with the original Orphan script, because I had taken so many notes as I worked on that movie the first time when I was 10," Fuhrman told SYFY WIRE.

MAC says it takes counterfeiting seriously, filing civil actions in court and partnering with law enforcement agencies to file criminal charges. If you suspect someone's trying to sell you fake MAC makeup you can report it to MAC cosmetics by calling 1-80. The online site Buytopia, that gave the counterfeit MAC makeup as a prize, emailed Wosk to say, "we were assured that the products were legitimate and received samples from the merchant that were authentic." " lead, mercury, cadmium, copper, beryllium, so these can be potentially very toxic," said dermatologist Dr. The colours of the shadows are also off, and the counterfeit shadow looks cheap.īut most importantly, the counterfeit products could be harmful to your health because some have been found to contain unsafe levels of several chemicals. The font on the fake package is thicker and pushed together. The real MAC product has finer net weight lettering. Staff said the eye shadows were cheap and crumbly, the back of the product codes say 2008, and the big tell was the cheap piece of fake leather on the back, where real MAC eye shadow would have a magnet. Still, eBay has thousands of MAC products for sale and the Internet is filled with sites selling suspect MAC products at ultra cheap prices.Ĭonsumer reporter Lynda Steele took the eye shadows to MAC's flagship store on Robson Street and the staff verdict was unanimous, claiming it was definitely counterfeit. MAC's website also has an entire page dedicated to counterfeiting, warning it does not “offer its products through….individuals, street vendors, flea markets, internet auctions, independent boutiques or unauthorized online retailers." "It didn't seem like a retailer’s website would have the ability to sell brands that are generally sold through their main flagships," said Wosk.Ī Google search turned up several warnings about counterfeit MAC products and 70,000 videos on YouTube about how to spot a fake. Margaux Wosk is a fan of MAC cosmetics, but she was suspicious when the online site Buytopia sent her a prize package recently containing several MAC eye shadows. Counterfeiters are trying to cash in on MAC cosmetics popularity and that’s putting consumers’ health at risk. Canada's most famous makeup brand is facing a big counterfeiting problem. ![]() |
