What's up with my Diffuse Glow

[Pete B]

For some reason my CS4 Diffuse Glow is giving me this effect:




rather than this:




It didn't used to. What could have changed and how do I fix it without reinstalling?

It's probably Adobe's way of forcing you to upgrade.

Exactly. Remember the famous 'fake orgasm' sequence in "When Harry Met Sally"?

Needn't be Leica. But it has to be real. Serve you right for trying to fake it.

I wonder if there is anyone who can help me fix this issue for my daughter's graphic design course.

Sparrow,

A person will usually not be able to load (bring up) the program for usage on the computer. The code is usually written so as even if the date on the users computer is changed it won't do any good.

Then the user can go on line pay for the software and, in most cases, receive a code via e mail to activate the program.

Really? Does the Leica bashing have to come up at any opportunity? Somebody in the forum said that saying anything about Nikon was an indication of childhood trauma. But of course you can say it's childhood trauma if one is bashing something other than Leica, I guess that's been established.

It is beyond old.
