As I was draw a picture I noticed I after I done drawing his hair and moved to drawing his neck the last part of his hair that was drawn was repeated however it was not drawn in the same spot.

Sounds a lot like the clone stamp tool to me. But if the problem has persisted across versions it must be your method.

I'd suggest going to the official forums where you can get much more professional advice. It's always really busy over there.

Edit - read through this in particular

It's a list of common problems. You might spot yours on there.

Problem: Photoshop displays weird lines, squares or other artifacts.
Solution: If updating your video card drivers doesn't help then you will have to disable OpenGL Drawing from Edit->Preferences->Performance.

?

It could be your mouse, or you're using the wrong tool. If you've updated it's probably not the software. What do you mean by drawing from history?

Made me laugh, in numerous places!


But mostly from my mouth.

Hi Chosim. I believe you may find this useful: Journal Maker Module.

The Wrong Game is referenced here in the H+Ts: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=22172.msg271774#msg271774

He refers to it as "my game".

Is there gonna be another round? I like chess lol

I'm not a troll, I'm sick of people calling me that were both (='s) in different way's

To what does "We're both (='s) in different ways" refer?

Judging by the brackets I'd say that's an eastern smiley. And '=S' is a confused smile I believe... is this a crying confused smile to show mixed emotions? Maybe saying that everyone who calls you a troll is confused or upset for no apparent reason to you? Your grammar confuses me (='s)

Yeah, I was confused by this too, although I basically interpreted it as "We are both trolls in our own ways "
Which is completely ridiculous really, seeing as there's an important difference between feeding a troll and being one.

I simply read it as it was (almost) written: "We're both equals in different ways". Which (almost) makes some sense.

I can't believe I just posted in this thread. Oh well. HEY EVERYONE! o/

Interesting, three different ways of interpreting it. lol

Shouldn't this thread by locked by now, it says c.leksutin is a moderator but he hasn't been online since 2005... who are the real moderators? And, out of curiosity, does therefore the report to moderator button do anything?

I like feeding trolls. Does this make me a bad person? lol

We are all feeding the troll by posting in the thread! Hooray!!

I prefer the MacBook Wheel. Now that's revolutionary. No keyboard and only 2,599 $ for an 8 GB one.

lol I saw that a week ago, some people on youtube commented thinking it was real xD

I agree. Tablet PC's have been around for a while now, they have proper resolution screens... I certainly agree with you on the humongous size of the icons and bar and things, http://www.apple.com/ipad/app-store/ those screenshots are HUGE. It less of a tablet more an iPhone, at least with a normal tablet you can install a proper OS like Mac OS or Windows 7. Then you can use your tablet to draw in Photoshop, watch HD movies, and have a tactile keyboard that you can swivel flat to be a "clipboard shape" or fold out so you can put it on your lap. How are you supposed to hold this thing anyway? It doesn't look as good as the concept images about "iSlate" either, iPad? why iPad?? It sounds like the iPod and it's too obvious... Many people were expecting it to have features like a front facing camera and things, but it seems really "cheap" with not many features. It's an oversized phone. I still cant get over 1024x768, I cant browse safari on that!

[Camtasia]

Well, Camtasia is definitely the most professional screen-recorder, but it is quite expensive to buy... I also think it would require more memory to run and therefore may make games lag (more), and I agree that it's editor is very simplified and limited... but then I've never really used it much so I don't know whether it is worth the money. As for Hypercam, while it is very popular, it's not free, it costs about as much as FRAPS, which is actually designed for recording games... and I don't really understand the appeal of Hypercam over other software, I've never used it - but why is it so popular?!. VirtualDub can also be used for screen-recording; it is a popular free program, and it should record video well, it also has some good video editing filters too. However it is far less user-friendly, especially when it comes to screen-recording (Though do use it for video editing once you have successfully recorded your video!). As far as game recording is concerned FRAPS is the most popular program as it is designed specifically for recording gameplay videos, (BTW, the watermark and 30-Sec limitation is removed when you buy it - obviously, and you may need to use certain settings on AGS like DirectDraw will need to be changed to Direct3D in the settings file for FRAPS to record it) but then it does cost money, yet not nearly as much as Camtasia.

CamStudio, however, should work well, the de-synced audio is probably related to the slow playback issue you have experienced. This is almost certainly caused by compression settings, if you are playing a high-res video that is uncompressed it will usually play very slowly, sometimes with de-synced audio, and you might even see a weird colour cast.

To solve this you can try the following steps:

• The simplest way to do this is to open CamStudio, go to Options > Video Options > Compressor > And from the drop-down box select the CamStudio codec. (You might not have the CamStudio Lossless Codec, if not, download it here: http://camstudio.org/CamStudioCodec14.exe)
• Record the scene and see what happens. Or if you have an uncompressed video that you need to convert, then you can convert the video in VirtualDub (http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/)
  [Download and open VDub, go to Video > Compression, select the CamStudio Codec, drag the uncompressed video into Vdub, go to File > Save as AVI...]
• Another thing to try is converting any uncompressed video taken with CamStudio via VirtualDub with the Huffyuv v2.1.1 codec (http://neuron2.net/www.math.berkeley.edu/benrg/huffyuv-1.3.1.zip). That should convert video perfectly as it is one of the most reliable codecs I have used (Though it wont let .avi videos play in some media players).
• Obviously, you should try opening the video with another media player. If you haven't tried that already...
• If it turns out that you still cant play any videos correctly, try importing the video into Windows Movie Maker and publishing a low-quality video. Low quality videos rendered through Windows Movie Maker are encoded with lossy codecs (they don't retain the same quality) but they will play fast no matter how long the video is, and they should work in all Media Players.
• If that still doesn't work check the frame rate setting on CamStudio by going to Options > Video Options > Frame rates, you should see 50 MS and 20 FPS in the two boxes, if they are not set to that, then change them. You will have to re-record everything after doing this.

This should will fix playback issues.

Most FPS games are recorded at 30 FPS, and should you want to upload your video to Youtube, Youtube converts all videos to a smooth 29.97 FPS using completely different codecs (and YouTube does offer HD so the quality will still be good, but not perfect, and thats as long as you can wait long enough for it to upload...). Most monitors can only display up to 60FPS so its pointless capturing at a higher framerate in most cases. One thing you might want to do is download FRAPS which is free for an unlimited time, which means you can use it as just an FPS counter... this means you can monitor how many FPS you get in-game and how many you get when you are recording the screen (You will always experience some FPS drop using screen recording software). 60 FPS or higher is perfect.

So... don't give up on freeware. And think before switching to Camtasia. Though, on the other hand if I were you, for AGS, I would just buy FRAPS, because it's so easy to use, reliable, it's designed for recording game play, it's the worlds best FPS counter, you can set the FPS rate which it records at instantly, you can set it to use Lossless quality, etc. so it will save you a load of hassle... the only thing you need to remember is to set your games to use Direct3D in AGS for FRAPS. But if you get CamStudio working you might be able to get Camtasia quality video for free!

P.S. I hope I have found the right solution, and if not I hope you at least learnt something. =)

Yea, I saw this ages ago and it is still the most popular file on www.DeviantArt.com. I really envy his flash animation skills!
