Photoshop Tip: Spatter gradient

Spatter SettingsI never thought to use a Photoshop Filter like Spatter like this until someone showed it to me. Sure you can use Dither on Gradient Fill layers, but what happens when you layer multiple gradients on each other, and you get really bad banding? Seriously, guys.

Filter → Brush Strokes → Spatter. (Also: works great on Smart Objects.)

Posted by Henry Jones on Jan 14, 2011 | One Comment

Color plays a major role in photography. It helps set the mood and tone of an image, but it is determined by the type of light present during a shoot. Photographers don’t always have control over this. This is one of many areas where Photoshop can be a valuable tool for photographers. It offers plenty of settings to alter the color of an image, but there are also actions that you can apply with the click of a button. They can be a huge time saver if you find the right one. Here we’ve rounded up over eighty Photoshop actions that you can use to alter the color of your photos.

Google Chrome Flash debugger not connecting to Flex/Flash Builder? | timo

If your Flex/Flash Builder has suddenly problems connecting to your Flash debugger, you might be using Google Chrome.

It seems like Google started bundling the Flash Player together with Chrome, which has an automatic updating engine (in the background) and thus you probably didn’t notice the update. This integrated version of Flash Player is the standard version of the plug-in and not the debugger version. Hence, whenever you view Flash content through Google Chrome, the used runtime is not the one you installed on your local operating system.

Currently, there are two workarounds for this:

  1. Manually replace the Chrome Flash player with the debugger version (Thanks to Josh for the how-to).
  2. Use a different browser for testing your Flash applications in.

Workaround #1

Go to chrome://plugins and find the entries that say “Flash”.

On Windows 7, deactivate the entry, which has the following path:

$HOME/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/Application/CHROME_VERSION/gcswf32.dll

On MacOS X, the path is:

/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/Versions/CHROME_VERSION/Flash Player Plugin for Chrome.plugin

This will disable the integrated Flash Player bundled with Google Chrome. Watch out not to disable your operating system’s default Flash Player (debugger). You can see the difference in the installation path: The global Flash Player is not installed into a directory associated with Chrome.

Hint: In the new version 6 of Google Chrome, you must click the “details” link on the top right of the page in order to deactivate plug-ins one by one.

workaround #2

In Flex/Flash Builder (or Eclipse), simply go to Preferences -> General -> Web Browser and hit “Use external Web Browser“. Then pick Safari, Firefox or whatever you prefer. This choice will then be your “development test browser”, while you can use Chrome for your daily surfing needs.
