View 1 Repliesway to change the number of pixels that you can move when you are nudging an object. The Help just says you can use arrow keys to nudge one pixel and the arrow key and the Shift key to nudge it 10 pixels.
I would like to be able to adjust it to less than one pixel is it possible.
I have moved my layers around all the time with my arrow keyes... you know, a nudge. Today, Photoshop says that I can't nudge... it says "Could not nudge the selection because the pixels in a type layer cannot be modified without first rasterizing the layer."
I've never had to rasterize it before... is there a setting I accidentally hit?
It's hard making very tiny adjustments to the rotation of a pic using a mouse and if I have to zoom in, I can not see the whole pic in order to rotate it to. Is there a way, so that once it is in free transform or when you grab the corners to rotate it, that it goes in smaller increments or how do you nudge rotate it.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create an action which places my logo layer on the image in the corner. I have used the Align menu commands in the action, which aligns it to the edge. However, I would like to nudge the layer a few pixels in so that it's not completely at the edge. No matter what I try, I can't get the nudge events to get recorded into the action.

Â
1) when I re-size an image, it doesn't show pixels in the drop-down box under Document Size, and
Â
2) if I manually re-size an image, I can't get the move tool to nudge it into position.
After I move an image or line of type to where I want it on a Photoshop CS5.1 layer, it moves an extra pixel. It is incredibly annoying and want it to stop before I start screaming. I've turned off all "Snap" and "Snap To" menu items.

I would like to be able to move an object over just a tad which I believe would be a half of a pixel.
Â
How I could go about doing so or is it not possible?
I just bought CS6 and upgraded to Mac 10.8.3. I don't know which is the culprit, but my arrows in Ilustrator will no longer nudge anything.

I've always wondered if I could set my own defaults and it occurred to me to ask on the forum. I can't find it anywhere on the options menu..

I tried checking "navigate to conflict on assign" but that doesn't seem to work very well in general and fails completely with super and micro nudge.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm aware that when using "pixel mode" at a certain zoom level Draw Ignores your settings for "nudge" and does it's own thing. Â (I think it's when the pixel grid appears and in my case this is at 800%) Â However, I've found a "feature" which seems like a mistake.
In large zooms in pixel mode objects move 0.5 pixels with the arrow keys, however when using the node edit tool your setting applies.
Personally I'd prefer Draw to always use the settings that you specify but I was told that the change of setting at large zoom levels was intentional - if this is true why do my nodes move differently to objects?  This inconsistency can't be "intended"?
I wonder what we can do with nudge offset and duplicate distance controls as indicated with a in the photo attached below.

I started a project and got it pretty screwed up... so not readily finding any way to delete things quickly (delete key does nothing) I closed out the project and started another one. (Rather than pound my way thru piles of documentation looking for a way to mass delete).
In the first project the arrow keys moved objects around as expected. In the second project, arrow keys do nothing whatever.
I've been able to find very little documentation (mostly just user requests) about having multiple guide sets in Photoshop. I really think this would be a useful tool.

When using View > New Guide ... can i get the Guide to place itself up against a Shape in the center of the Canvas (or where ever the shape is located), without knowing the Position to set the Guide at?
Â
i thought that maybe Selecting the Shape would work but as you probably already know ... it didn't.
I am on a PC - Windows 7 - CS5.5 Extended. Is there a way to have several guide colors all at once?
Â
I am working on a template and have several borders I am working with bad want to differentiate the "layout" using various guides but making the "groups" different colors.
Â
E.g. : I have one "square" 1 inch in from all sides. Guide color is default. I have another "square 1.5 inches in from all sides and want those four guides to all be one color, different from the default color.
In my PC (windows 7 ) new ruler guide not fix exactly it fixes 1px difference gap.

Seems like it could be very useful, and I must say i like the IDEA of it (to those not familiar, you hold CTRL and hit arrow keys to slightly shift an object) but how to set the distance default on it. It seems to me to just move things by whatever distance it feels like.For my job specifically, I need 1/2" increments. how to set that variable?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI searched through all the key short cuts, looked through the user guide and I'm at a loss where you can nudge a clip back and forth by single frames. I saw you can hold 'D" and SLIP the clips one frame at a time, but not move them outright.
So, since nudging is one of the absolute most basic requirements of any editor, I know it's in there. But alas, they hid it too well. here it might be?
Maybe hiding next to a trim mode I don't see where I can see how my slips and slides affect the area around the clip?

UNDERSTANDING RESOLUTION: A beginner's guide
Resolution is responsible for much confusion to beginners in Photoshop. I am providing this guide in hopes to clearing the smoke and answer any questions you may have.
SCREEN RESOLUTION
Before we can get into the 2 most common resolution-related questions, ("How come my images come out smaller when I print them?" and "How come my images come out pixelated when I print them?"), we need to get a grasp of what SCREEN RESOLUTION is.
Your monitor is displaying a certain resolution that you may have commonly heard. Popular ones include "640x480", "1024x768" and "1280x1024". Let's take the latter; this means your monitor is showing 1280 pixels worth of information WIDE by 1024 pixels worth of information HIGH.
IMAGE RESOLUTION
Most web-based images are created with an IMAGE RESOLUTION of 72ppi (Pixels Per Inch). In order to determine the DIMENSION of an image, you merely take it's size and multiply it's resolution. Let's take a 4" x 6" image in Photoshop. To determine it's DIMENSIONS, we do the following:
4" x 72 pixels per inch (ppi) = (4x72) = 288 pixels wide
6" x 72 pixels per inch (ppi) = (6x72) = 432 pixels high
Your 4"x6" @ 72ppi image has a DIMENSION of 288x432 pixels.
UNDERSTANDING CORRELATION BETWEEN OUTPUT AND IMAGE RESOLUTION.
Place that 288x432 px (pixel) image on your monitor screen, which has an OUTPUT RESOLUTION of 1280x1024. The image takes up 288 of the 1280 pixels wide and 432 of the 1024 pixels high. If you change your monitor's OUTPUT RESOLUTION to 640x480, that SAME IMAGE now takes up 288/640 pixels wide and 432 of 480 pixels high. This makes the image LOOK bigger, however it has not changed size or dimensions at all. You've merely changed the amount of information per inch that you are viewing on screen.
ENSURING PROPER VIEWING OF IMAGES
When using Photoshop, make sure your VIEW RATIO is at 1:1 (100% ZOOM FACTOR) A common misbelief is that when you zoom in or out of an image, you are changing it's size/dimension/resolution. This is not true. Understand that you are merely changing how closely you are examining the same image.
WHY DO MY PRINTS COME OUT SMALL?
It's simple math. Your 4"x6" @ 72ppi image is being printed on a printer that outputs at 300 or 600dpi (dots per inch) [side note: Dictate onscreen images as ppi when you refer to their resolution and dictate printed images as dpi when you refer to their resolution]. If we do some math, you'll see why your images come out so small.
4" x 72ppi = 288 pixels wide
6" x 72ppi = 432 pixels high
Print this in a printer that uses 300dpi and we get an image that is:
288 pixels wide / 300 dots per inch* = 0.96" wide
432 pixels wide / 300 dots per inch* = 1.44" high
*Dots/Pixels are interchangable, ie, 1 dpi = 1 ppi.
So that same image you thought would print at 4" x 6", printed at 0.96" x 1.44".
WHY DO MY PRINTS COME OUT PIXELATED/DISTORTED?
For the same reasons it comes out small. The only difference is, that the computer scaled the image to the dimension of the original. (Tried to scale your 0.96" x 1.44" image to the dimension of 4" x 6") This is like trying to get a gallon of water out of a shot glass. The end result of this scaling is a pixelated/distorted image.
SO HOW DO WE FIX IT?
Merely known what the end dimension you want the image to be, and the OUTPUT RESOLUTION of the printer you're using.
1. I know I want an image to be 8.5" x 11"
2. I know my printer prints at 600dpi.
Do the math:
I need a document that is:
8.5 x 600 = 5100 pixels
11 x 600 = 6600 pixels
5100x6600 pixels in Photoshop.
This image will print at your desired dimension on that printer without distortion/pixelation or being shrunk.
