PSE11 - can I increase the size of the preview window when you use filter > render > Lens Flare?

Hello

I am trying to create an image on the theme of Christmas in Photoshop elements 11.

There are four candles in the image, and I want to add a subtle touch of light parasite the flames of candles.

My problem is that the preview window that appears when I select the Lens Flare filter is incredibly small, and it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to accurately position the effect:

I noticed that some filters and effects have big enough insight or zoomable windows or even show the effect changing on the original image, but the preview for Lens Flare window allows any of these characteristics.

As a rather cumbersome, I go through this procedure:

  • Create a layer duplicated my image and then hide the background layer
  • Select a small area of the upper layer around the spark plug/s
  • Select Inverse and delete the rest of the layer
  • CTRL + D to deselect
  • Now, if I select the filter, it displays only the small selection instead of the entire image
  • Add the effect of Len Flare/s
  • Display the background layer and Merge visible layers

Please tell me there is a way to increase the size of the preview window, or a quick workaround better/more solution than what I'm doing now...

Thanks a lot before any advice

Steve

A faster solution would be:

  1. Select the area you want to add to stray light. For example: in this case I would choose the candle using the marquee tool.
  2. Run the lens flare filter.

  • How can I disable the mouse pad when you use a mouse plug-and-play?

    How can I disable the mouse pad when you use a mouse plug-and-play? I tried to disable the driver, and nothing works.

    Hello

    Check with support of the manufacturer system, documentation online or forums that there is probably
    Shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

    Parameters for TouchPad located in the control panel - mouse (there may be several tabs with TouchPad entered)
    and some come with a utility that loads in the Notification area next to the clock in the bottom right.

    ==========================================

    If necessary: (make sure that you have restarted at least once, if the above did not work)

    Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touchpad - the driver tab-
    Click on update driver (it comes may not do anything like MS is far behind the drivers of certification), now right CLICK
    on the TouchPad and UNINSTALL.

    Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in). RESET

    This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad from working.

    The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device if present.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

    Then go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest touchpad drivers.

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

    I hope this helps.

  • How can I clear the browser history when you use the custom settings for history?

    When my history option is set to "Use the custom settings for history", the options page has no link to "clear recent history". There was formerly a menu option, but that seems to be gone now with Firefox 29. Is my only option to access the dialog box, clear the history all to change the historical option to history to remember and then change it back? Is there another way to access the option erase history all?

    I think you can get the menu bar by pressing the ALT key. If you want to return permanently, click View > toolbars and check menu bar.

  • What are the supported items when you use multiple suites?

    Hi all

    I created a plugin that sends the current path to a url,

    his work very well with debugging in Visual studio 2005 and then it is added to the Adobe Illustrator work only once.

    Its transmission, the path is that for a single file. While I was trying for the second time its does not work

    I use more costumes in my plugin

    AIDocumentSuite

    AIFilePathSuite

    AIActionManagerSuite

    AIUnicodeStringSuite

    AIURLSuite

    I use the "'AIURLSuite ' to call the url and calls the url several times while its used only and its only works once with multiple suites. "

    What are the supported items when you use multiple suites? It is necessary to release all the variables and the suites after completing the task?

    Should they come out in the same order in which they are acquired?

    Thanks in advance

    Farida kaid

    As far as I know, there is nothing forcing you to unleash in the same or in front of the order in which you have acquired in. Frankly, in our plugin gain us once, then lock the plugin to prevent it from unloading and don't release suites when we finished. That said, as far as I know, you should be fine to learn/work/output several times.

  • Problem with the format of the values in the command prompt (when you use multiple values)

    Hi all

    I have problem with the format of the values in the command prompt when you use multiple values.

    Value is year (2009) and when I use it in the drop-down list that is formatted, all right, as 2009, but when I use several values I get number as 2009,00. I put in year column format number with 0 decimal places and save by default in the year column. Year is formatted well anywhere in the query, such as 2009. Why is - what happens at the command prompt when you choose multiple values in prompt dashboard?

    Thank you

    I think the YEAR Data Type could be defined DOUBLE RPD.

    Use the CAST function in the formula (fx) and the output from test.

    CAST (INT YEAR)

    Hope, it will help you.

  • I can't display the preview pane when opening for the column.

    When I open an Illustrator file I can't see my preview to column view (my favorite) pane. The preview pane appears to have expanded much more to the right so that no matter how wide, I do the window that I still cannot see the preview. I tried to drag the window beyond the size of my screen to see if there is a column separator after the panoramic overview I can move to the left to reduce the size of the preview pane, but it seems not to be. Any ideas on how to solve this problem? It is not critical, but boring.

    Please search the Forum. This has answered every week (at least) for the last year.

    Do not use column view. He broke. Use the display of the list. Select a file, and then press the SPACEBAR to preview. Work within dialog boxes.

  • Can connect to the schema number when you create a new workspace in APEX?

    Hello

    It is perhaps a stupid question since I'm still a beginner .

    Our version of the APEX is 5.0.2. We currently have a workspace associated with a schema, but we wonder if we can connect to multiple schema (in a database) in a workspace APEX?  Say, one APEX application, we would like to allow the user access to data distributed in different schema.  If not, are there alternatives to allow user access to the schema data?

    Thank you very much!

    Several patterns can be assigned to a workspace. A workspace can contain multiple applications. Each application is based on one (and only one) the analysis of schema. Access to objects in other schemas is controlled at the database level by the usual means of grants and synonyms.
