View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there anyway to setup photoshop CS3 so that you can drag documents around by selecting the top of the window, like you can in every other windows compatible application? You know like you could in every single other version of Photoshop?
I work on multiple documents at once and need to drag them around, CS3 does not allow you to do this. Being aloud to drag a window is no longer automatic. It requires way to much work I have to move the mouse over the leftmost small icon of the top of a window (which is usually obscured by the tool palette so I have to minimize that as well),
then I have click on the little icon, then scroll down to the move choice, now the window is able to be dragged - All these steps are talking way to long for working on multiple documents. Does anyone know of a way to just automatically allow a document to be dragged around in photoshop? The way it used to work in every other version up until CS3?
1) Is there a way to drag/copy a material from the slate editor into the Environment Map slot in the Environment/Effects dialog box?
Or
2) Is there a way to put a non-assigned material from the Slate editor into a slot in the Compact Material Editor?
I'm trying to put a Env/Background Switcher into the Environment map slot. I FIRST created the Env/Background Switcher in the slate editor (this is simply the order I worked in and found I couldn't go further).
However, from the Slate Editor, I can't copy, drag, or assign this material, whether to the Environment dialog box, an object in the scene (objects won't accept the Env/Bkg Switcher), nor to a slot in the Compact Material Editor. Perhaps I'm missing a button click or a command someplace?
The only way I can do this is to rebuild the material in the Compact Material Editor (start with a clean Env/Bkg Switcher), or click in the Environment Dialog box's Environment Map slot and start by choosing an Env/Bkg Switcher.

I am trying to drag pictures I just imported to lightroom and drag several to a collection on my Mac Book Pro but it's not working. I am in grid view.

The most logical thing to me would be to just drag the icon on the map to the right location but that only moves the map and not the icon. I don't know the exact coordinates, I can only find the rigth location by looking on the map.
How can I best move my pictures? (LR4 on a mac)
All of the photos are square, clipped drastically from what they should be. From what I take, by doing instructions on how to do this, all I had to do was drag the iPhoto library into an open LR5 window.

I've played with the preferences windows management options and seem to have all the file options curves etc on top now (these were opening under the single window at one point) but nothing I do seems to want to make the filter boxes open where I can see them - It's making GIMP quite unpleasant to use.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to edit some material properties before rendering. But suddenly, I can no longer open up the Material Edit window. I searched and it said to look where it was last opened. Ok, I did that because I was using it this morning. But then it disappeared for good and I cannot figure out how to re-open it. I've cold booted my computer and restarted AutoCAD but the results are the same. So what am I missing. This copy is AutoCAD 2013 and it has SP1 and SP2 loaded.
UPDATE: OK...something weird happened. I finally found it but it was hidden beneath the other icons which I have anchored on the left. I was only able to get to it by carefully placing my mouse on a piece of it and dragging it out into the model space. So, what gives and how can I avoid this in the future?
Within the layer style window under the >bevel and emboss >Contour the option displaying images or list of contours is only opening to contour editor.
It's not displaying the contours within my collection I must've tripped off setting for displaying them but I can't find where that setting is, or if it's even available anymore? I don't believe I've used it since CS 3 or4. I'm using CS6 now but contours seems to have changed.
I cannot close my editor window /screen in elements11 as it seems to be frozen and chimes everytime I hit a key.

In Freehand, you could select a Preference that would open a Text Editor window that was consistant in size no matter what the zoom level was. You could opt to show the text in 12pt Helvetica or in the actual font and size. This was enormously useful in organizing and shaping the size of the text.
in Elements 11, I am working on face swapping, how can I load 2 pictures in the same workspace of the photo editor
View 1 Replies View RelatedI know for certain that I used to be able to increase/decrease text size in the iLogic code editor window, possibly with the ctrl + mouse scrollwheel similar to many other programs.
I tried showing this to a coworker this morning, and discovered it doesn't work any more. Was this functionality removed in IV2012?
The title just about says it all. I usually edit in Full Editor mode, but normally there is an Explorer-like ribbon running across the bottom, much like the one in Express Lab. I opened PSP ProX3 today and it was gone. I'm guessing it disappeared when i did some editing for my daughter in a non-standard (for me) mode.
How do I get it back? I swear I have hunted and even RTFM'd.
My Material Editor Appearance preview window is empty as you can see on attached picture.
All read only and custom libraries are represented in this way.
My pictures are out of order in the Organizer window (PSE 10) and I can't move them around.

I'm using 2.8.4 in multi windows mode fullscreen. Sometimes the toolbox willdisappear. I have to hit my Windows key and then click on Gimp in the Windowstoolbar to make it come back.
I'd really like to have an option to dock the toolbar and have the dialogs openin new windows. I keep my screen real estate maximized. My tool box is 2 columnswide and squashed to the limit. Not only is it an extra step to undock dialogsin single window mode, I have to widen my toolbox to get to the tab to drag thebox.
I am in no way upset about any of this. Gimp has saved me a few hundred dollars. [URL]....

I have just downloaded Gimp on my iMac and when I drag an image onto the Gimp screen Gimp just disappears.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using Gimp 2.8.2 on Linux. I've configured the UI to single-windowmode and have opened multiple images, each with a tabbed display.
It is my understanding that I should be able to grab a layer from oneimage and drag-and-drop it onto the tab of another image in order toappend a copy of that layer in the new image. I have not been able to dothis. I'm grabbing a layer from the layers dialog and dragging it to the tab-thumbnail, but the layer is not copied to the new image.
A couple of comments for the UI designers:
* I find the [X] icons on the image tabs to be a real problem getting accidentally selected and dismissing the image when attempting to quickly select another tab. I would prefer another tab dismissal method such as right-click-menu close.
* Some user control over the tabs would be good. For example, I would like to see the the vertical height of of the tabs be smaller and have the option of displaying file names and/or icons.
I want to select a block, and drag it to a new spot. Then, I want to select another block in the same image and drag it to another spot, and repeat over and over. 3 years using the gimp and I cannot do this yet.
What I do is drag one area, save and close the image, then open the image again. Is this the way the gimp works?
Did 2.8 remove the ability to drag and copy a layer from one image to another? This does not work when I try opening more than one image and dragging a layer between the two images by switching between tabs.
Is there some default box I need to uncheck or some new way to do this?
I am trying to drag and drop a photo into my current project and it is coming in far too large - i try to re-size and it disappears
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm just getting back into image editing after a year of hiatus, and so I downloaded the newest version of gimp so I could get started. My select tool worked fine for a few minutes, then stopped letting me move pieces of my layer around. I was thinking maybe I accidentally changed a setting, so I fiddled with that, but no luck.
Select will still let me highlight and edit specific pieces of the layer, just not move them around. When I drag and drop, the piece of my layer appears as if I've selected nothing, and I'm only working on a single layer at the moment.
