Photoshop :: Suddenly Can't Select Any Shape Tool Or Move Selected Layers

Apr 15, 2013

If I right click on on the shape tool and try to select any of the choices nothing happens, the menu keeps showing.  I also can't move any layers anymore using the move tool.
 
Seems like a focus issue perhaps?  Latest Windows CS6 Photoshop updated to the latest version.

Photoshop :: Move Tool In CC Selecting Hidden Layers Too

Jun 19, 2013

I'm using the Photoshop CC in Windows8 64x as trial and find a curious bug with the Move Tool:Usually I select multiple layers creating a selection with the Move Tool on them, but in this new CC version the tool is selecting hidden layers too. More details: the hidden layer are inside a folder. The folder is hidden, but the inside layers are not.
 
This type of selection has always worked perfectly in previously versions, and of course, I leave the option "Auto Select> Layer" enabled.

Photoshop :: Move Tool Not Smooth When Positioning Layers

Nov 20, 2008

Why does the move tool jump a few pixels when trying to line layers up? I have to zoom in to get a smoother movement and even at 1600% it still jumps a few pixels when i'm using it.

Photoshop :: Selecting Layers With Move / Select Tool Is Imprecise (CS6)

Aug 23, 2012

i switched from CS5 to CS6 Extended (Win 7 64bit) and I'm a little bit confused about the select/move tool (V). I have "automatic selection" activated and when I click on a layer, Photoshop often selects a nearby layer but not the one I'm clicking at - often the layer selected is more on top of the layer I was planning to select, but that was no problem in CS5 ... Is there anything I can change in the settings or is this behavior "normal"?
 
For example - a cursor placed at the marked position selected the white arrow-vector-shape.

Photoshop :: CC - Move Tool / Auto-Select / Layers In Hidden And Locked Groups?

improve Photoshop CC, but this bug beaks my workflow to the point I can't use it.
 
Other than this critical bug, the software engineers behind Photoshop CC are doing a great job.

Photoshop :: Can't Move Just The Layer I'm Trying To Move With Move Tool

Dec 1, 2006

I try to select and move a layer using the Move Tool, another layer is immediately selected and moved instead.

Also, if I have layers inside a folder and try to move one of those layers, the entire folder is selected and all layers within that folder move.

I have not grouped any layers together.

I'm using Mac OS 10.4.8 with PS 9.0.1

Photoshop :: Move Tool Does Not Move Layer When Dragging With Wacom Tablet

Jan 14, 2013

I am using the trial version of CS5 (probably going to upgrade at the end of the trial), and I've only found one thing about it that I don't like more than CS3. This is VERY VERY annoying, and I'm not sure if it's a glitch, or just a preference that needs to be reset:
 
When using the move tool, I will move something and it will just snap back to where it originally was. When it snaps back, it might move a few pixels over in the direction I was dragging, but it is definitely not moving to where I want it to go. The only way to get things to move the way I want to is by Free Transform...but it's annoying, when you're trying to design a layout, to have to free transform every element you want to move, first.
 
I'm guessing that this is a glitch because sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't...it's pretty random. I've tried turning Snap on and off, and nothing changes.

Photoshop :: How To Smoothly Move Crop Tools Selected Area

Oct 30, 2012

I find the crop tool in CS6 to be such a pain compared to the version in LR4. When using the mouse (in CS6) to reposition the crop area the box hops around and seems to "jump" into certain positions - this is especially pronounced if it gets close to an edge.
 
I realize I can reposition with the arrow keys but I was wondering if there is a way to disable the "jumping" while using the mouse?

Photoshop :: Cursor Change From Current Tool To Move Tool

Jul 31, 2013

When I have a none vector tool active for example the brush tool and I press and hold the Ctrl key down I see the cursor change from the current tool to the move tool cursor.  If I presses and hold the Alt key I see the cursor change from the current tool to the eyedropper tool.  If I press and hold both the Ctrl+Alt keys a see a cursor icon change to an icon that has two up pointing Arrow heads one Black the other White.  What tool is that cursor for? It seems to copy and move the current layer and move its position over the canvas.

Illustrator :: Cannot Move Selected Objects In CS5.5

Oct 21, 2013

I'm using Illustrator CS5.5.
 
I cannot move anything I select. I try to drag it and it makes the "bump" noise. 

-I made sure that my preferences are not set to "object selection by path only".

-I've restarted my computer several times

-I tried to open a previous Illustrator file and I have the same problem

-I even uninstalled and reinstalled my entire Abode Suite beacuse I've been having several issues
 
I'm not sure if this is related but I also can't create a new document unless I use picas and CMYK coloring. It refuses to adjust to anything other than the default settings. Also, I can't increase the stroke of an object unless I type in the number, meaning I can't use the arrows for adjustment.

Photoshop :: New Layers From Selected Boundaries

Photoshop :: Layers Not Selected As Defult For PSD...

Feb 9, 2009

I find all the Layers are merged into one! I usually I make a dozen or so files before choosing the best one to go back and edit.

After starting up again today I realised that I needed to make a slight alteration on a previous poster and discovered that there was only a single layer contained within the PSD file with all the content merged together! I checked other files and they were all the same! This means I have at least 20 PSD files that are practically useless!

I cannot understand why Layers was not selected as default in the save as window!! I certainly never turned it off in the save as window and no one else uses my computer... Unless it had something to do with the fact that when I was saving PDF files of the same documents and unclicked the "preserve Photoshop illustrating capabilities" in the second window that pops up so the PDF would not be as big... but even so I did not click it in the save as window... and therefore assumed it would only apply to PDF files! If this is the reason then I'm bloody annoyed that they would implement such a stupid feature! What other use is there for PSDs then to preserve the layers!?

I have never had this problem before on other computers or copies of Photoshop... Unless this has something specifically to do with CS3?

I dont suppose there is any way to retrieve my lost layers so I can edit the files? Or do I just have to start all over again?

CorelDRAW X4 :: Can't Move Or Rotate Selected Object

Mar 14, 2012

My CorelDRAW has just developed a glitch - I can select objects but not move them (other than by using the nudge button) and if I click twice on the object it doesn't change the nodes to allow me to rotate  - weird and seriously difficult to do any work in the programme.  I've tried turning the computer off and on again and have tried the default setting.

3ds Max :: Move Icon Only Shows While Hovering Over Selected

May 23, 2012

In previous versions of Max, if you locked an object and were in the Move command, the move icon would show up no matter where you were in the viewport. Now, even if the object is locked, it will only show up while hovering over the object. My question is, was this intentional, or is there a way to turn it on and off? For my workflow this is a highly annoying change. I work without gizmos on. I only use axis constraints and I lock everything before I move it. I can still move things from anywhere in the viewport if the selected object is locked. The problem is that I can never tell that things are locked because the way of knowing (move icon always on) is now gone. I can always look down at the lock icon, but getting used to this is proving difficult.

Photoshop :: Batch Rename Selected Layers?

Oct 9, 2012

I'm trying to find a script that batch rename/renumber a group of selected layers. So far I've been able to find a script that renames every single layer in a Photoshop document (overkill). Or there's the CS6 Tab rename trick (too slow).
 
I routintely export PSDs from Illustrator for use in After Effects. But in Photoshop, I'll get a couple hundred layers named <path> or <path> + <path> or <group>. Renaming by hand is out of the question. But I don't want to rename every layer the same.

Photoshop :: Text Tool Becomes Move Tool

Apr 9, 2009

I started learning Photoshop CS4 about a month ago.  One of the first things I learned was to add text.  Simple, fun.  I am now trying to learn about layer masks.  One of the exercises in one of my books is to open an image and then add text to it.  (The idea is to then add a mask and 'hide' portions of the text behind portions of the image.)  A really strange thing is happening when I try to add text.  I highlight the image in the layers column.  (Prior to adding any mask layers.)  I then click the text tool.  But when I click on the image (in the area where I want the text), the text tool 'becomes' a move tool.  A text layer pops up and the words I'm trying to type on the image come out in the title area for the layer (in the layers column).  I've tried everything I can think of to 'get' the text on the image but can't solve it.

GIMP :: Unable To Move A Selected Pencil Line

Aug 9, 2011

On a new transparent layer, I have drawn a straight line with the pencil tool. I select the Box Selection tool to select the whole line that I just drawn. I switch to the Move tool and made sure to move just the selection.

At this point, I would think that I would be able to move the line but only the box that is shown by the Box Selection tool moves. The line doesn't move at all. However, when I tell the Move tool to move the selected layer, the whole canvas moves, including the line. Why can't I just select just the line and move it?

Photoshop :: Merging Layer Into Multiple Selected Layers?

AutoCad 2D :: Move Multiple Selected Objects Together And Snap Them To Endpoint?

I have tried using the hot grips selection by holding shift, but some of the grips are overlapping and I can only select the top most grip.
