Photoshop is everywhere. Every corner billboard or commercial object are 99.9% retouched. What is quality actually? If what makes people say “WOW“is all that matters then every inch must be perfect. Most of the time I see documentary where models are not so beautiful like in billboards or magazines. Its like watching sci-fi movie from stars wars. Publishers will do anything to sell their product by coloring or put a little spark on your nonperfect face. Who is perfect btw? Nobody, that is god plan to keep humans emotion in balance.
Watch this little documentary by diet.com how a photographer does his work with the help of photoshop to make a 90pound lady to look 60pound on a magazine slimmer without working out.
Do you ever had a tv or cooler repaired by an electrician? What if my memorystick is broken and windows is saying write protected enabled. BUT MY MEMORYSTICK DOESNOT HAVE A WRITE PROTECTED LOCK like some do. Like this, this, and this… Windows is just saying you should throw away your memorystick and support kingston, memorex, hp by buying a new one. BULLSHIT!…I was frustrated because my memorystick (kingston btw) was write protected in a mysterious way ( I think kingston put a expired date for all memorstick and/or hardrive they produce and if that time exceed the module crashed). If your having a similar problem with your memorystick, it gives you an error saying write protected enabled. Then I recommend you to use “repair your memorystick” ( I think only Fat32 reconizible = only memorstick). This tool can easily format you memorystick….Well I dnt know who the creator is or what site I downloaded it from. The tool does fix my memorystick indeed. I will upload it here and you can use this version (stable probably) and fix your stick and make it usable again. Download here v2.9.1.1
Note: if any one has a newer version please update me
One of the annoying window message is while safely remove a memorystick or external harddrive that windows gives you a popup with ” acces denied, cannot delete, used by another person or program, here has been a sharing violation.
The source or destination file may be in use, The file is in use by another program or user, Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use”.
Unlocker is a handy tool to see what or who is in blocking your activity. You can easily see what program or situation is currently using that thing (memoystick, harddrive, folder, etc…). See image below.
There are similar tools out there and I’m not going to say unlocker is better or the best. But unlocker does the job that I expect. So, many thanks to the creator for extending my memorystick life by safely removing my memorystick much more easier.
If you have problems starting up your photoshop version 6.0 and later (cs3 is version 10.0 btw) and photoshop start hanging on at the splash screen at “Reading preferences” then your custom preferences for photoshop is corrupt or deleted in a mysterious way. To fix that you can easily delete your custom preferences and let photoshop use the default preference.
Example:
Press and hold Alt + Ctrl + Shift while starting up photoshop. A popup window will come. (Mac: Command, Option, Shift)
You can also simply search your hard drive for a *.psp file and delete it. Somethinglike “Adobe Photoshop X Prefs.psp”.
Under Win 2k/XP the preference file will be found at:
%windir%\Documents and Settings\~username\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop\[version #]\Adobe Photoshop [version #] Settings
[NOTE: You need to set Window's Explorer Options to "View Hidden Files and Folders" to display the Preference file]
