  1. I rebooted my Mac and the same thing was happening. What I am now trying to do is to close all the open files and deal with them on at a time but I can't do that because I have to Force quit and when I reopen it all the files are there again!
  2. I have 10 files open each one between 200 and 300MB. They are saved as AD files but I want to export them as jpegs so I can edit them in AP. If I try to open the AD file in AP it can't because Ad is a later version than AP! As I try to export them as jpegs I can save the exported file then when I try and open the next AD file it hangs! I have had to Force quit 3 times to try and move on. When AD reopens it restores the files that had been present before Force quitting. Then as I start to export again the same thing happens. The only thing I haven't tried yet is to re-boot my Mac.
  3. I re-launched AP and it is still hanging when I search for a folder to save a file in. It takes several minutes to navigate to a directory then hangs again when choosing a folder etc etc. There is definitely something wrong with my AP app.
  4. I have a number photos all at about 3MB. I am cropping them, using Levels and Unsharp mask. I'm finding that AP is a bit sluggish using Levels and Unsharp mask. Currently AP is 'hanging' and I can't move forward so I'm going to close it down and start again.
  5. Thanks Walt but what was missing from the comments was where to find this tool! I discovered it by looking at each tool in turn to see what it offered and found in the 'Patch tool'.
  6. What is the 'Inpainting brush tool'? Reluctantly I'm attaching the jpeg file which is a child's drawing so you can try the Clone tool yourself. I'm trying to remove all the blue lines - you can see where I have had a go. Let me know if you encounter the same sluggishness. Also can you advise on my question about fixing the sample area in one place?
  7. If you mean, 'you think it should do' well it doesn't. I'm also having problems with the Clone tool as I did yesterday. It is very sluggish and not very responsive. Is there a way to select the target area but keep it stationery whilst moving the tool remove the unwanted parts? I don't want to use the Erase tool as it will be obvious that an erasure has taken place.
  8. But surely if I saved the edited image as an AP file it should copy with the editing intact.
  9. Carrying on from my topic yesterday, I edited a pdf image using Vibrance, to enhance colour, Levels to remove blue tint background and the Clone tool to remove unwanted areas. I saved it as an AD file. I then copy and pasted the saved image into a blank page in AD and the blue tinted background that I removed in AP is now visible in AD. What is the best way to copy an AP file into an AD doc?
  10. I see what you mean. It would have been better to scan the original image as a jpeg rather than a pdf.
  11. The images were 12MB pdf. I went back to do a screen shot to show the blurring but couldn't reproduce the problem. I can only assume that it was a one-off glitch.
  12. The mistake I was making was not selecting the image layer. Since using it I find it is very erratic and slow. Is this normal or a bug?
  13. Thanks for the help. this would do what I want but I would also like to know how to use the Clone and Eraser tools. I do suspect that I missed something to do with the layers. I will go back and check.
  14. I am using AP for the first time, prviously I used Photoshop which was pretty easy to use. I'm trying to remove part of the image using either the Erase or the Clone tools' I've read the manual on each of these tools but it doesn't seem to actually tell you how to use them - it only tells you what they can do and how to adjust their parameters. In Photoshop you could use the Clone tool by using 'alt' to select the sample area and then click the part you didn't want. Does AP work in a similar manner? If so where can I find the instructions? Also as I use the various adjustments part of the image momentarily blurs - is this a bug?
  15. No driver software. It was just a plug-in USB wireless dongle.
  16. That's a good point however someone suggested that if I was using a 'special' mouse it may have been something to do with my mouse and not AD. I'm using a wireless mouse that I bought from a supermarket - nothing special as far as I know it has the usual left and right buttons and a scroll wheel.
  17. On a Mac you go to 'System Preferences' select the mouse settings and change them - its that simple!
  18. Thanks for the suggestion but it was easier to just reset the mouse settings on my Mac.
  19. Whilst I was was using AD at some point my mouse started to move very fast and not at the speed I normally set at in my Mac system preferences. What could I have been doing in AD that accidentally changed my mouse speed?
  20. When I select a QS, how do I make it 'stay Selected' by default for setting its size in the Transform tab? At the moment I can draw the QS but I then have to select it to set is size.
  21. Thanks Mark this would seem to explain it. I'll give it a try.
  22. I scanned a rectangular object but When I view it in AD it is not quite rectangular. I thought I could use the 'Warp' feature to distort it into a rectangle. When I try to use it it seems only to adjust the outside perimeter of the image and not the whole image. What an I doing wrong?
  23. Was this helpful in reporting the crash or is there something else I could do. BTW I copied the image to a new doc and then exported it as a jpeg. This worked and I was able to insert the jpeg into the email.
