I dont like how in illustrator there is a window where your project is and all the panels for the program are strewn across your desktop. I like the photoshop style better where the entire program is contained in one window. Is there a way to make it like this? What is the advantage of the other way?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI find the default interface in CS6 difficult to read as the menu/tool labels seem very small to me. I can manipulate via Windows, but then the fonts in the windows of all my other apps are too big.
Is there a way to change the size of the fonts in labels in the user interface within Illustrator itself? I thought there used to be a way in preferences some where, but that was a long time ago - maybe even pre-CS?
The interface for PS CS4 is missing its bar at the bottom and the Windows Task Bar is no longer visible. Can someone please tell me how to return the interface to its default condition?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI know I triggered something someway, but didn't realize. The original interface had the bar with the FILE, EDIT, VIEW, ETC at the top. Now it is hidden until I move my cursor to the top of the page. It then drops down for me to make selections. I personally prefer the original method where it was at the top stationary. Don't know how to change this.

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy preferred method of utilizing commands such as move, copy group etc. is to select the entities to be moved, copied or grouped then select the appropriate tool and proceed. Recently my computer has decided it wants me to select the appropriate tool prior to selecting the entities to be manipulated. I can not figure out how to get this program to return to the method I am most accustomed to??

Any way to make CS6's interface white? The slider in the preferences goes from "black" to "pale grey"; I've been using Illustrator since 2000 or so and am kinda used to the white.
Any and all ways are welcome, from setting secret preferences up to and including hacking the files. Because man I am liking what the performance improvements do to heavy operations like distorting a pattern fill but this grey UI is maddeningly low-contrast.
I have used pretty much all the Illustrator versions from CS2 onward, mainly for typographic work. In the new version I've been using – Illustrator CS6 on Windows 7 – the typography panels are behaving differently from previous versions and it is extremely frustrating!
Character Panel - On previous versions you can click on the font menu in the Character Panel and you get a list with previews, then you can search by scrolling with the mouse wheel or by typing in the name of a font. But in CS6 the mouse wheel doesn't work, you have to click on arrow buttons or move the mouse to the top/bottom of the list to scroll (and it scrolls very slowly!). When you try to type to search, it only lets you type the first letter, not the full font name. So if you're looking for Museo for example, you can only type 'M' then you still have to scroll through all the M's until you find it, if you type 'M' then 'U' (as I would do normally) you are taken to 'U' in the list.Character Context Menu - I use the context menu (the one that lives at the top of the screen) a lot. Again on previous versions it was really quick to click the drop down and just start typing the first few letters in the font name until you see the one you're looking for. In CS6 you can only do a type search when the drop down menu is closed, when you open the drop down, type to search no longer works!
I am on Win 7, 64-bit, 20 gb RAM. Using CS 6 (Cloud).
I have this strange shadow that looks like a pop-out menu once occupied that space, on my interface background.
It will not go away permanently. Everyday when I first start Illustrator, I have to go to Preferences==>User Interface and change the background color.
That makes it go away temporarily. But when I restart, it comes right back.
Why is the search bar in ilustrator cs6 lighter than the interface?

Below is a .jpg copy of the Vitruvian Man that I bought on istockphoto.com. I would like to get rid of the gold background and keep the black line work. I would like what was the gold background to be transparent. I would like to convert this .jpg to a vector file using Adobe Illustrator CS5. To do this I assume I somehow use the Live Trace feature but I'm not exactly sure how.
I would then like to be able to select the black linework and change it to red. Does this mean I need to somehow convert the drawing into a collection of indivdual paths and anchor points? When I've used Live Trace before, I had the tolerance set to about 45 and Simple Trace. This indeed got rid of the gold background but gave me no individual paths or points I could select and change the color of. The only thing I could select was the image as a whole, not individual points or paths. It was the entire image within a box. This occurred whether I used the black arrow tool (Selection tool ) or the white arrow tool (Direct selection tool). If no, then how could I change the black linework to red?
So, I haven't been using Illustrator (CS5) for a two weeks and I always create calligraphy brushes on the go, so I don't save them. However, out of the blue, I can't change the brush diameter to change with pressure nor the other options because they're greyed out.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I toggle the interface on/off it causes missing menu toolbar items and icons until I exit and restart Photoshop CS4. I know this can happen if problem filters are installed. So I have the latest Alien Skin filters installed and have already followed their AutoLayer2.8li file updates to resolve Windows Photoshop CS4 issues. I also have Luxology imageSynth 2.0 filter installed. So since all my filters are updated to CS4 compatible versions, I shouldn't have this problem but yet it occurs.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just recently upgraded from CS2 to CS4 and am finding it changed enough that it's slowing me down. I have a couple questions I hope someone can answer.
What is bothering me the most is that when I left click over an image I no longer can duplicate it, or change its size. I'm stuck with going to the menus and that takes longer than what I'm used to.
I've also been unable to figure out how to split the properties panels that now want to form two columns instead of one, and I haven't figured out how to break any given panel up and use only the part I want.
In CS5 I have the interface set up so that the windows dock but when there are no windows open you can see the desktop.
In CS6 there is this big ugly black panel on show all the time Have tried to compare the setting but cannot see any options that are fundermentally different.
Can I remove this background and if so how to do this.
I am using the application frame in CS6 in a MAC environment (OSX 10.7). The interface tends to move around on the monitor getting lodged up under the OS menu bar.
Is there a way to lock the interface on the monitor like it its done on a Windows 7 OS?
upgrade from Elements but I have aging eyes. I cannot see the icons and fonts.

we discovered a potential bug or issue in photoshop:under daily working conditions, 8h per day, during the last months/year i can observe the following behavior:suddenly, at any action, the photoshop interface (all palettes, windows, everything) freezes and doesnt react on any mouse or button command. can wait for minutes, nothing happens.
found workaround: switch to finder by clicking with mouse pointer into the finder desktop,and switch back to photoshop > interface is back and reacts again, everythings fine. condition of bug: very annoying but can live with it so far through my workaround frequenzy: several times a day (up to 20 or 30 times per day)

I just installed the trial version of Photoshop CC and it installed the Italian version (same as my OS language) for the PS interface. Is there a resource to download and install the English version for the interface and all menus? I really don't feel good using it in Italian (all tutorials allover the web are made on PS in English).

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn CS3, my workhorse editor until recently, when I double clicked an adjustment layer it opened up the initial settings window. There I was able to tab browse through the variables, make whatever adjustments I wanted, hit enter, and live happily ever after. I haven't been able to figure out how do do this in CS6, which has the 'properties' panel for making changes to adjustment layer settings.
The question: Can CS6 be set to behave like CS3 in this respect?
This is how my Photoshop CS6 (64-bit) looks
This is my 'Preferences' window, as you see the text is missing and it just generally looks weird as crap. That's the same with all the windows etc.
Then I added my old fonts because I was setting up this new PC (1k+ fonts) and then I got this problem. already tried re-installing Photoshop several times, deleting configs and restarting my computer but nothing seems to work and the problem persists...
When I open "Save for Web" the normal grey interface is black, which means all of the dark text / settings are unreadable (see attached). I didn't change any settings before it started doing this, and I've reinstalled PS and it didn't fix it. I'm trying it with small photos and have more than enough RAM allocated to PS, so I've run out of things to try.
