If I click on an object that has a modifier, the focus goes straight to the modifier and I cannot click on anything else unless I click on the parent object in the stack. This is a pain when I am randomly selecting objects. Is there any way for 3DS Max to keep the focus on the object when I click on it rather than going straight to the modifier.
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if there's a way or a script to specify an object to track the focus to rather then just the distance and if in case this would work either for standard cameras and vray cameras.

how this was made,
I think he did something with saturation but the dark thing?
This happenes often, but not consistently.I'm using CS6 (regular) with OSX Lion, 16GB RAM.
Once I have a few files open, Photoshop starts "stealing" the cursor focus, which is to say if I go to any other application, as soon as I make one click, PS jumps into the foreground and becomes the active application. The click I made in the other app was applied, and I can see it when I go back to that app, but as soon as I click again, Photoshop pops back into focus.
The only workaround I've found is minmizing PS while I use other apps. Or closing it and restarting it. Sometimes just reducing the program window works, and sometimes not.
I have taken some netball sport photographs where the camera's automatic focus failed to lock onto the player. Rather, it locked onto the background spectators on the edge of the court. Consequently, the player is blurred. I have tried "lens blur" filter and "distortion lens correction" and even "spherise" without success.

View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to do this chore. Worse, I know it must be so simple that its laughable. I haven't ever needed to do it though.
I have an image that is great [in my eyes] but in the middle of the image an area of tree foliage shows that is so tightly focused, it distracts. How do I selectively soften, fuzz, blur [likely] or what ever only that portion. I have fought this since Sept and haven't found an answer that feels right.
Does anyone know the technique to apply a soft focus to an image using the actions palette? Some would refer to it as "the move"...

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I click on an image and it appears on my second monitor, it appears sharp until my first monitor has updated for sharpness, at which point the second monitor goes off focus. If I then apply my normal sharpening preset, the image on the second monitor updates and remains focused.
It's not very important but a nuisance in that sometimes I do not need to apply sharpening. NB - it is not slowness in loading the image. LR5 and (RC2) work fast on my machine. No matter how long I leave the image on screen, it will not come to focus until I sharpen it.

I tried to find a CS6 forum in which I could post but could not find a forum that I was alowed to post inI have taken several photos with multiple focal points and I am trying to merge them in Photoshop CS6 but in every attempt I end up with a single layer that is used while the others indicate no selections at all.
Even when using just 2 images the process only uses the first image and it sets the mask to transparent.Here are the steps I've been following Open each of the images I want to stack.Use the Photomerge tool with Auto, Blend Images Together, and Add Open Files. This successfully creates a new image with multiple layers but areas are being selected.Use Auto Blend Layers, Stack Image with Seamless Tones and Colors checked.The obvious result is no change because only the first layer is being used.
How do I use Photoshop to create a focus-blended image from multiple RAW files and convert the result to B&W using Silver Efex Pro in smart filter mode with *everything* non-destructively edited?
I typically export files from Lightroom to Photoshop as Smart Objects. How can I export multiple files from Lightroom to Photoshop as Smart Objects, focus-blend them in Photoshop, and then convert the resulting focus-blended stack into a B&W image using Silver Efex Pro in smart filter mode?
If this isn't possible, what workflow would give the closest approximation of the flexibility (being able to tweak RAW conversion without a lot of re-work of the later steps) of my desired workflow?
I'm using OSX 10.7.5 on a Core i5 with 16GB RAM, Photoshop CS6, and Silver Efex Pro 2.
I frequently create multiple paths on a single layer with the intention of applying a stroke to each of them at the same time. I typically lay out the paths roughly and then go in with the Direct Select tool to refine them before applying the stroke.
In previous versions, once I'd made the last adjustment I would click off the subpath I'd been editing and then right-click and choose Stroke Path, thereby applying the stroke to each of the paths. (If I don't deselect the last sub-path I was working on, the only option I get on right-click is to stroke that sub-path.)
In CC, once I click in a blank area to deselect the sub-path it also deselects the Layer (removes the highlight from the Layer in the Layer Panel), so most of my right-click options are greyed out. I have to move back over to the Layer Panel and reselect the Layer I want to apply the strokes on.
It's possible that my old approach is bad and I should feel bad, and this added step of having to re-highlight the Layer in the Layer Panel is the bestest thing ever, but I'd kind of like to be able to avoid that additional step. That is, I'm assuming that this is somehow a feature and not a bug.
If there's no way around having to reselect the Layer after deselecting the sub-path (or after clicking on a blank area with the Direct Select tool in general), in the alternative, is there at least a quick way to select all of the sub-paths at once without losing Layer focus?
trying to improve the quality of this picture. I have tried a few ideas suggested on this forum (I have searched) Including Smart Sharpen, Sharpen Mask, and High Pass filter and light linear blending, and a few plugins. None of them have produced results that improve the image.
View 4 Replies View Relatedbut my lack of determing the answer has stopped me from using what is obviously an excellent product: Once I use a tool to perform something, say to draw a colored line in an image, I dont know what to click on from stopping the drawing tool from having control. I can click on another tool, but what if I just want to drag the image to another part of the screen? In a previous paint tool I used, PhotoImpact I believe, there was an icon in the Tools that basically stopped whatever tool I had last selected from being in affect.

I have just downloaded LR4.1 RC2 and in working through an existing catalogue yesterday, found that about 5% of the images in the main window would not load as focused images. (the images had alrady been developed and rated, so I know they were in focus). The navigation and other thumnail images were fine, but some images just kept coming up as unfocused; switching between library and develop mode did not seem to make a difference, neither did moving to another image and back again. I had noticed this in LR4.0, but not nearly so frequently and usually switching to another image and back again or between library

View 4 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop CS6 constantly setting the keyboard focus to the menu bar? This makes it difficult to use shortcuts.
Typical examples: I want to switch to the Move tool, so I press V, but instead, the View menu drops down. Or I press T for the Type tool, but instead, the Filter menu drops down. This happens often and it's very annoying.
This also happens in Premiere Pro CS6, and happens on both my Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 machines. Doesn't happen in other applications, and is not related to actually using a menu, i.e. if I choose something from a menu, then press V, Photoshop will often work correctly and activate the Move tool. This behavior seems to happen randomly.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a VBA program that I'm converting to VB.Net. The program is a batch process that opens a an excel file, opens a template drawing, adds blocks (listed in the excel file), plots and saves the drawing, then moves on to the next drawing, and so on. In Autocad 2008 and previous version, the program ran in the background, i.e. I could see what was happening, but it didn't affect the running of other programs (like email). However, since switching to Autocad 2009 (and 2010, and now 2011), the very same program now steels focus every time a new drawing is created (every few seconds). We've been running this program for years during normal business hours, but have had to change to running them on a remote VM (which is slower) or at night.
I have since converted the program to vb.net, but I get the same results; windows or autocad keeps returning the focus to the autocad interface. When I originally started to covert this program, I was going to do everything in the database only (not the user interface), it appears that to plot, though, the drawing must be opened in the interface.
I can still run the same VBA program in 2008 or 2007 (if I re-install them) and it will run without steeling focus, but the 2007 file format is slightly larger and adds up with the thousands of drawings we are dealing with. And I want to move to vb.net and 2011.
How to switch focus to AutoCAD document window from my form of C# .NET plug-in.
After user pressed the button, I invite him to input a point, but my form still on top.
And it is nessesary to press minimize button, next to set a Focus on Autocad window, then to pick a point.
It is not handy enough.
