Photoshop :: CS6 / Windows 7 / Can't Restore A Minimized Window

Sep 5, 2012

I know this is a very ignorant question, but when I minimize a window (that contains, say, 1 particular image that I'm putting on the "back burner" for a moment while I work on another image), there is no apparent way to re-open it.
 
Don't know if it matters or not, but I'm in "Photography" view.There is no "status bar" (as on a web browser) at the bottom. In fact, there are no tools or anything else at the bottom of Photoshop when it's open.
 
Well, I take that back, there are the ones at the very bottom right that look like a "chain", an "fx", what looks like a "camera", a circle split with black and white, a "folder", a piece of paper, and a trash can, all of which are grayed out.
 
I know that Paint Shop Pro and previous versions of Photoshop had tabs at the very bottom left of the window, representing windows that were minimized and clicking any one of them would bring the  image to the forefront.

Photoshop :: Minimized Windows Keep Popping Up

Jul 13, 2012

Obviously this is a change from CS5 to CS6 and I don't like it. I would like to know how to change it back. When I have a bunch of tabs open in a window and then minimize them because I am working in yet another new window... every time I return to PS6, that minimized window keeps opening up on top of the project I really want to work with. Why doesn't it stay minimized (like it used to in CS5)? Is there a way to go back to the way that works in CS6?

Photoshop :: Unable To Activate CS2 After Windows Restore

Apr 10, 2009

I recently performed a "Windows Restore" operation on my Compaq. Now whenever I launch Photoshop CS2, I get a message saying this (to effect):"The required user name and licence key have been lost, and this program must close."Right after displaying that message in a dialog box, Photoshop closes--giving me no opportunity to insert my license key. How do I get my license key inserted and Photoshop working normally again?

GIMP :: Single Window Mode - Filter Options Windows Behind Main Window On OSX

Mar 11, 2013

As a new user I really prefer the single window mode but have a real problem in that every time I open a filter the window/box that open opens up underneath the single window and I cant see it without minimising the main gimp 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.

Photoshop Elements :: Restore (Windows) Pse11 Catalog On Mac?

Apr 26, 2013

I am a Windows user moving to a Mac.  I did a backup of my (Windows) Photoshop Elements 11 catalog on an external drive in preparation for restoring  in on my MacBook pro. 
 
I've read a number of different posts on here regarding the restore process and gathered the following information:
 
1) Open up Elements 11 on the Mac and select File > Restore Catalog

2) Navigate to external drive and select the .tly file.  (choose as source of restore)
 
Backup folder contents on external drive (former Windows Catalog to be used on Mac)
 
1) My backup folder contains about 9,500 items. The majority of the files all beging with a "B" and are jpg files.  However, a small number also end with the following: .cache, .dat, and .xml.  Should these be in the backup file?
 
2) I also have  "Catalog.buc" and "Backup.tly" files within my backup folder on my external drive
 
Question(s)

1. Based on the information I've read online, it would appear that the only thing I want to be concerned with in the backup folder is the "Backup.tly" and the other files contained within my backup folder on my external drive aren't relevant to the restore.  Is that correct?
 
2.  Do I need to select anything else as part of the restore process after selecting the "Backup.tly" on my external drive?  For example, do I have to point to a folder on my Mac for the restore to occur or will this happen automatically since I will already have Photoshop Elements 11 open on my MacBook pro when I am performing the restore process?
 
3) Currently, I have hundreds of "folders" under "My Pictures" on my Windows machine that separate out each event (Xmas 2010, Xmas 2011, etc.). Up until now I haven't been using the tagging feature within Photoshop.  My initial intent was to copy the "My Pictures" folder from my C drive on my Windows machine to the "Pictures" folder on my Mac.  (not planning to import them into iPhoto).
 
Will PSE 11 on my Mac be able to "find" this new path for the photos that were moved from my Windows machine to the "Pictures" folder on my Mac?  Do I need to do something to make sure this happens during the restore process on my Mac?
 
As an example, the patch for a random photo in PSE 11 on my Windows machine looks like the following: 
 
C:Documents and SettingsTomMyDocumentsMyPicturesXmas 2010  (as an example for one of the pictures contained in my Windows catalog)

Clearly, this path won't exist on my MacBook Pro and I just want to make sure I know whether or not I have to do something to redirect the pictures in my (restored) catalog.

I have just switched from PS CS5 to CC.  Under CS5, the default for opening multiple images put them in separate windows.  Under CC, the default appears to be to put them in separate tabs and one must select separate windows from the Window Arrange sub menu.  How can I restore the CS5 default.  I prefer to always open multiple images in separate windows.

Paint.NET :: Minimize / Restore Buttons For Tool Windows

May 3, 2011

I'm always having to move my tool windows around, out of the way, or close them entirely when trying to see and work with my images.

Wouldn't it be great if we could simply minimize one or more of the tool windows to the bottom of the application screen? Then the tools remain INSIDE the current dimensions of the app, and can be restored to normal size with a keystroke or a click. Shouldn't be too hard to implement.

Photoshop :: CS4 Windows Window Management

Aug 11, 2009

Upon upgrading to CS4 for Windows, I find a new, fatiguing "feature" of PS.  Any time I drag a file from a Windows directory into Photoshop, it immediately opens as a maximized window.  Only by right-clicking on the tab and choosing "Open in New Window" option can I get the document open in a free-floating window. I've looked into preferences, but can't seem to find an option for having documents open in scaled view.  In that I work with dozens of images at once, this feature is a pain.

Photoshop Elements :: Couldn't Restore File In Restore Catalog

Oct 8, 2012

I have a new computer and want to move the databse catalog over. I backed up in PSE 9 to an external hard drive. I connected to HD to the new computer and tried a resotre catalog. I chose "New Location" since I was going from XP to Windows 7 and was unsure if there would be a conflict with file locations. I also chose "Restore Original Floder Strucure". Very quickly I recieve an error message "Could not restor file .xml". I have run Restore Catalog several times and each time a DIFFERENT FILE receives the error message. I then disabled Norton Anti Virus Auto-Protect. I then disabled several programs running in the background. Same problem. I then copied the Backup Catalog to the new computer and tried to Restore it from there. Same Problem. I have now run a Repair Catalog on the original file. PSE states there is no error. I want to purchas PSE 11, but wanted to install/restore the database with the same version 9 first.

Photoshop :: Why's Layers Palette Minimized

May 3, 2012

Lately whenever I first start CS5 my Layers palette is minimized. It just started doing this yesterday. It never used to do that and I can't think of anything I did that would have caused that. I tried Reset Essentials. That fixes it while I have PS open, but next time I start it up the Layers palette is minimized again.

Photoshop :: When Zoom In One Open Window / All Other Opened Windows Zoomed Too

Oct 9, 2013

This just started happening quite recently and it's really annoying me, but I can't find a preference where I can switch it off.
 
If I'm working on an illustration and zoom in on a detail, I'll find that any other open windows (within Photoshop CS2) have zoomed with exactly the same amount too, and I have to resize them all. Very time consuming when I'm zapping between open windows. Is this a setting I've inadvertantly clicked or a bug in the software?

Maya :: How To Ensure Child Windows Are Hidden By Main Window

Jan 30, 2013

I recently started using Maya on Mac OSX, after having always used it on Linux, and I'm really baffled by the child windows behavior (think Hypershade, Graph Editor, Script Editor, etc...)

The shortcut Cmd+~ does switch focus between the windows, but the child windows always stay on top of the main one. That means that if I open one of these, but need to work in the main maya window, I need to click on the minimize button or double-click the title bar (because Cmd+M doesn't work on these!!!), then need to click in the dock to recall them...

Surely I must have missed something, didn't I? Is there a way to ensure the child windows are hidden by the main window when I switch focus using Cmd+~? On Linux I remember we had a way to set the environment variable MAYA_SET_PARENT_HINT to change this. For sure it's possible under OSX, since that's how firefox / safari and other applications work (switching focus between the different child windows correctly manage which one are in the foreground / background)

AutoCAD 2010 :: Open Multiple Drawings Using One Window Only In Windows 7

Jul 6, 2011

why Autocad 2012 opens one window per drawing as opposed to Autocad 2007/2008 opening one window for as many drawings as you have open.  (I also don't care to group/ungroup similar programs through Windows 7.)  This must be an Autocad 2012 program default that I can't figure out to change.

Paint Shop Pro :: Windows Explorer-like Window Missing From Full Editor

Jul 26, 2011

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.
