  • PDF files will not save in the good resolution

    Hello

    Something weird happens to my Photoshop. When I save a file in .pdf, raster, or vector, it won't keep the resolution when opened in Adobe reader or a browser (if it is converted to svg).

    Someone has an idea what is happening? If I reopen them, it will show them as 100x100px files, but as soon as I open them outside the Photoshop they get rendered in the form of images of 20 x 20.

    My old files will open very well, it seems that Photoshop went nuts during the night.

    I try to delete multiple photos and whenever I hit ctrl, hold down the key and left click on photos, remove, they breed

    and now I have more than 68 copies of less than 10 images, help!

    ==============================================
    Unwanted copies have file names with
    copy "prefix of"?

    Example: Copy of IMG_1455.JPG

    If_yes_maybe the following tutorial, I wrote
    for XP offers a few ideas:

    Also... There is a link to another method
    at the end of this tutorial.

    Here's how to reproduce the unwanted
    copy of...

    Hold down your CTRL key and select multiple files...

    Place your pointer over the selected group
    (holding the key ctrl) and left click / drag
    the group even just the slightest bit... now
    release the mouse button.

    Oooops... multiple copies...

    Maybe the following will help:

    Sometimes most of the person who
    trying to select multiple by holding the CTRL
    or the SHIFT key down while clicking on the left to select the
    image files.

    Copies are created when you are unable to
    completely release the mouse button before
    you move the pointer to another file. When a group
    the selected file is dragged... even the slightest
    release the mouse button will produce a bit...
    copies of all the files previously highlighted.

    It's a little easier if you have your folder
    Options set at single click... that way you can
    select/deselect a file with just a mouse more
    and you don't have to click. For multiples you
    I have to keep... CTRL or Shift.

    Do not click on... no slip... no copy... maybe that of
    your solution. To adjust the click...
    Open a folder and go... Tools / folder
    Options / General tab... Check... 'single click '.
    To open an item"/ apply / OK.

    If you want to delete all the files in a folder
    You can try the following:

    Reach... Edition / select all... or type... CTRL / has...

    With all of the files selected... go... Drop / delete...
    or press your delete key... or... click on the
    Group and choose 'delete '.

    How do I find and remove unwanted 'copies '.
    of your image files.

    Open the folder that the images are saved in and
    on the left, click on the button 'Search' in your toolbar.

    (If you view the files from a montage
    program and do not know where the record is... right
    Click on one of the image files and the menu...
    choose... Properties. The path to the folder will be
    in the tab 'General' to 'Place').

    In the research pane select... "All files and folders".

    In the "All or part of the file name" field. Come in...

    a copy of

    Now... on the left, click on the search"" button.

    When the search is complete... go to... Edition / select all...

    Then go to... Remove / delete.

    You will see a dialog box asking if you are sure
    you want to delete the files, click Yes.

    Now... on the left, click on the 'Back' button in your toolbar.

    Now the remaining files should be your originals.

    If you delete the wrong files... recover from
    your basket now.

    I do not know. The answer depends on what's wrong with the old.

    Can I do this using a USB Flash drive?

    # If you can not start the old laptop, you cannot transfer files from it
    to the USB.

    If the problem with the old laptop isn't that hard drive has
    has failed (and that's a big 'if'), you can pull the hard drive.
    and get an external USB enclosure. Having done this, you can read
    It is on the new laptop and copy files from it.

  • Cleanup of old files of e-mail after the importation of the accounts in the new computer.

    I have a new MacPro with El Capitan.  In the implementation of the new computer, I installed my email accounts, one in particular (a gmail account) had 7 GB of files.  I went into the settings Gmail and disabled Protocol IMAP AllMail, Archive, and several others that I didn't need on the Mac Mail.  It seems that there is a residue of all these emails stored on computer and I would like to remove them because they consume a lot of space on the hard disk.    Y at - it a particular cache that can be cleaned?  A special way to remove hidden files?

    You must remove the Gmail account in Mail in Preferences > accounts. This will bring you to system preferences > Internet accounts. Uncheck the Gmail box in system preferences.

    It seems to remove all the data, but it's actually still in the Mail. Go to the library (see below) Mail to the user folder. In v3, you will see several folders named like that.

    Check in the files with the alphanumeric naming. You should be able to identify what your Gmail account. If you have only one account other file would be for messages "on my Mac" premises. Delete the folder with your Gmail data.

    Then in email given, delete files that the envelope in the name.

    Sign out under the Apple in the menu bar.

    Connect and empty the trash.

    In system preferences > Internet accounts, check the Mail to your Gmail account. When you open Mail it will reindex messages that have not been deleted, then your Gmail messages will download from the server according to the ones you marked for synchronization.

    Note: You may find that the Mail does not well with the unsynchronized all mail folder.
