    Anyone tried defining a pattern with a small amount of pixels? It seems to be broken and picking up half of what it's meant to.

    Try creating a pattern with 2 pixels...

    Ugh, annoying - works fine now, but it wasn't for literaly hours (although probably the same session).

    I was zoomed, is it a known issue?

    Nah, the pixels were selected fine, just the resulting pattern was missing half of them.

    Thread here about recording actions that contain selections and then making them work on subsequent images that may be of different dimensions.

    (switch the ruler to percentage mode when you record!)

    FOR FUCK'S SAKE!

    It was annoying enough that you could make rounded corner selections in ImageReady and not Photoshop, but in CS3 this still hasn't been fixed - they dump ImageReady and 'Shop still can't do round edged selections. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

    You could always make a layer, draw a rounded rectangle on it, then cmd-click the layers thumbnail. This will create a rounded rectangle selection. You can then delete the layer if you want and you'll just be left with the selection.

    I know, but ImageReady had a custom fucking tool for it and they just dumped it. Idiots.

    Err yeah wopr, there's a Refine option under the Select menu that lets you set a radius.

    Isn't this the round corners command under selection?
    I'd never seen that before - very fiddly but it sort of does what I want. They're still idiots though.

    True that, I've played with it a little and it doesn't seem to be really that great. All fuzzy.

    How do I add fonts to Photoshop CS3?

    I'm on a Mac. With InDesign, there is a folder in applications where you drop any new fonts you like. There isn't one for Photoshop.

    The fonts are present in InDesign but not Photoshop.

    I usually use Web Presenter Pro or an Image Size action to shrink down my photos for emailing or putting on the web. However, neither of those can automatically detect the orientation of an image - I'd like 'landscape' ones to be 800 pixels wide and 'portrait' to be 600 pixels tall and I've got about 300 images of varying orientations that I need to shrink.

    What alternatives do I have that will make this work?

    Set up two actions assign them keys(f2 or f3 are my favs) open all the images and run whichever action you want on the image, just make sure you insert a close in the action so you don't have to do anything other than hit f2 or f3.
