Photoshop :: 7.0 On Windows XP - Lock-up
Jul 18, 2007
I am using Photoshop a lot for more simple tasks, like re-sizing pictures.
Lately I have run into a problem: when I have opened a file and choose the Image/Image Size from the toolbar, Photoshop sort of locks up and will not let me make any modifications to the file. I can escape the lock by pressing the [Esc] button, but I am not allowed to do any re-sizing.
At first I thought this had something to do with the layer being locked, but even when renaming or copying the layer, and unlocking, the same lock-up happens when I try to re-sieze the new layer!
This is a recent problem, didn't use to happen, so I may inadvertently have changed some kind of setting in Photoshop. But a search in Help or this forum has not come up with any solution.

In CS5, you could have mulitple images open in tabs, and there would be no additioanal padding around the canvas area; the image would lock in place to the upper left.
Now in tabs in CS6, the canvas floats in space. Any way to have tabs and get rid of the space/padding?

when I am trying to enter information into any given pop-up window. As I am entering information into the text field, the window will lock out. It behaves as if the mouse has been clicked outside of the Inventor window. It appears to occur once per minute or so (with no activity on my part). The window just requires that I click on it with the mouse again.

do you keep your caps lock on and use the crosshairs when working in adobe apps?
or do you use the standard icon?

In CS6 when I increase/decrease size of my brush using alt+right-click on pen tablet, sometimes I also unintentionally change brush opacity by couple percentage (obviously my hand won't move perfectly horizontally every time I want to do it). It kills flow during work of course and I have to stick to CS5 for now unfortunately.I have only found option for turning off hardness change in preferences.

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?

I have done a large file for a sign and I don't want the sign company to be able to edit the file. The image is 3m x 1m so it's a large file.

Wondering about the lock on background layer, the manual says the background layer will be partially locked unless it is transparent.

I am running a photoshop action to apply displace to an image.
Half way through it saves itself, then reverts back to it's original state and saves again. (This is to get the displacment map out of the same file)
What I want is this:
The file will be locked so no-one can mess with it, then I want an Applescript action (or whatever) to launch and unlock it, then when the Photoshop actions finish for another one to Lock it again so when a designer comes to save the file, he is forces to Save As. This will stop the original from being overwritten!

Every time I open Elements 11 I have to arrange the workspace to my liking, that is with the image tiled. I have locked my preferred workspace in CS5, and earlier editions, but can't seem to find a way to lock Elements.

I use Adobe Lightroom but am new to PSE. When I use the text mode all of my letters are in caps. Caps lock is not on. I did reset preferences on next launch and that didn't work.

I'm using CS6 and can't figure out how to make the transform size lock be turned on by default. See below:
Every time I hit CTRL+T to transform something I have to go up there and click on the lock so it locks the dimensions as I transform. It's unlocked by default as seen in the photo above.

I am in the habit of processing large numbers of jpeg images for use in slide shows. When I come to signing the images I almost always use size 14, sometimes size 12, for my name print. But the size that sets seems to vary, usually coming up as size 18 and forcing me to change down to 14 eah time before signing the image. How do I go about locking in size 14 as the automatic default?

An opened image is always locked. And if you want to do something you need to get rid of the lock. And yes, there are workarounds to do that. Can you add a preference option to turn off the backround lock default.
Rather than having to add a mask, why not also have a any new layer to automatically have a mask. Its a small step, but its something we do alot. All layers should have blank masks associated to them.

is there a way to change the lock button (maintain aspect ratio... looks like a paper clip) when using the free transform tool. the default setting is NOT proportional (ie the height and width change together in proportion) .. I would like the button to always be in the proportional lock (maintain aspect ratio) since most of my transformations are proportional.... is there a way to make this change???

Is there an option to make PS never lock an opened file as a background layer? I never need to have the files that I open locked so I would like to skip the step of unlocking them every time..

After editing/touching up a significant number of photos, Photoshop Elements 11 either hangs or closes down. Works fine again after re-opening (however, unsaved work lost), but will repeat this behavior again without warning. Running the app in Windows 7 (64-bit), 8GB or RAM and an SSD drive and have applied all program updates.

I'm used to a PC, but am having to use a mac once a week for a new job.
When I hit "Cmd -0" to view my image in its entirety, my background screen shrinks with it. Then, when I zoom in again, I have to expand the screen again.
I'd like to have my background to stay locked in the same position where I have placed it, with only my image file expanding or shrinking, as I work.

I installed the Redfield fractalius pulgin in CS-6 works fine in 32 bit but causes the 64 bit to stall at the point where CS6 is looking at the plugins. I then uninstalle it and it still locks up at the same point while booting up the program a reinstall did not work. easy fix without a complete reinstall of CS-6 and all the plugins.

Nothing is more tedious than not being able to use the direct selection tool to grab multiple points because there is another shape under it on a different layer. I'd think that locking those layers would prevent selection, but it does not.

1. I try to use any auto correction such as tone, and nothing appears to change
2. I see the small layers 'background' icon flashing as I do this into the black and white check pattern
3. It seems that the layer background is partially locked- (when I scroll my mouse over the 'lock' icon this is written)
Yet there is no icon above in 'lock' that is highlighted. So I cannot unlock it.I am able to adjust in all other methods which are not auto corrections. Perhaps I changed some settings accidentally?
