Photoshop Elements :: Tools Menu Palette Names Missing?
Nov 17, 2013
I have a new copy of PSE 11 and the tools menu palette names on the left side of the screen are missing. I notice that some tutorials show the palette names and others do not. How do you turn these names on or off?
I have recently installed Photoshop Elements 11 on a new Windows 7 64 bit PC.
When I try and send an attachment by email (Share - File Attachment) then my Outlook 2010 client is missing from the list of Email Client options. I only see the Adobe service and Windows Live Mail.
Is there a way of getting Elements 11 to recognise that I have Outlook 2010 installed ?
I recently upgraded to 2012 but forgot to install the express tools, Doh!. I installed them through control panel repair and everything works. Except when I close and restart ACAD the menu bar express menu disappears. I can bring it back by using cuiload but this is not ideal. Any way to get it to stick?
I'm using CorelDRAW X5. When I used version 12 and earlier versions, the color palette displayed on the right side of the screen showed color names. (I think you only saw the name when you selected a color.) Now instead I see only numerical values.
Is there a way to restore color names here? It seems this should be a simple option, like display color values or color names.
CS2 tools palette remains on top, when I now use CS4 my images cover the tools palette. Someone has been dabbling and lost a basic function when messing with the design of the interface. How does one keep the tools palette on top ?
I have mine down the left side of the screen and have done so since the very first ever Photoshop,.
As soon as I move my images around its gone, buried under them. The Layers etc palettes remain over the images, just the tools get buried.
Does anyone else have a problem with the tools not responding in the tool pallette? I have a problem with my tools randomly not responding when I click on them. Specifically the replace color tool and the blur/sharpen tools. I purchased this upgrade of PS CS about three weeks ago and everything worked fine at first, now the tools pallette is giving me problems. I tried reloading the program again and changing the properties, but neither works. I have windows XP installed.
I have both Corel 12 and X5. A few years ago a friend of mine installed a custom color palette in my C12 that was matched to the Federal Standard 595 color system.
When I move the cursor over each color in the palette, it displays the FS number assigned to each color (ie. FS35237, FS37038, etc.)
I recently installed the same color palette into X5. However, when I move the cursor over each color, it displays the RGB color ratios for each color. If I open the palette and click on the 'display names' option, it shows the FS number for each color but reverts back to the RGB ratio when the palette is minimized to the right of my screen (I hope that makes sense).
How can I get the FS numbers to display when I move the cursor over the colors?
I have created multiple tool palettes that i load depending on whether im working on a rcp plan or a toilet room plan, etc. On the right hand side it says Tool Palettes - All Palettes. How to rename that to say rcp,civil, etc? If I right click on the right side of the tool palette & select rename it renames all tool palettes to whatever I type in. I thought it might be tool palette groups but I am not sure. I can't seem to set one to be current. The selection is grayed out
I am able to use the menuload command to load the express menu, but when I try to execute one of the express tools. AutoCAD say invalid command, there was something on the website that said to type express tools at the command prompt, but when I do that, too it says invalid command.
I have successfully created a production and defined 34 chapters (and names), but when I proceed to the step of creating the menu for my DVD the menu only lists the chapters as "Chapter 1", "Chapter 2", etc. all the way to Chapter 34. I expected the chapter names from the production to be carried forward into the DVD burning stage, but apparently not. How can I edit the text for the chapter names in the DVD menu?
Usually I can click a took and thats the end of it...if I want to show hidden I have to click the little arrow or something of that nature. Now when I click a tool it automatically opens up the hidden tools menu, which makes it very annoying to select tools because I've then got to click it in the hidden menu to select it.
Also performing things such as double clicking hand tool to show an image full screen don't work becuase as soon as I click the hand tool once it opens up the hidden tools menu and won't allow me to double click it. I've tried resetting to defaults and even checked my wacom/mouse settings...cant figure out what the issue is.
I must have clicked something or inadvertantly pressed a keyboard shortcut or something because a couple of weeks ago, the sub-tools on the tool palette started popping up without me having to hold down the mouse button for a second. Now when I click a tool (the rectangular marqee tool for example), the hidden tools (eliptical marqee, single row etc.).
I started up PS 7.0 today and low and behold I cannot access my Actions Palette Menu. The arrow at the right border depresses, but the menu does not appear ....
Am creating chapters in edit mode and adding chapter names. When I go to create mode I can find no-way to automatically populate the DVD menu with the pre-inputted names i created in edit mode. Assume this must be possible.
For some reason when I hold down the right hand side on my mouse pad to access the hidden tools in the tools palette in illustrator, it shows the alternative tools but wont let me switch to them eg I hold down the right hand pad and can see the smooth tool underneath the pencil but I cant switch tools. It certainly has worked in the past but appears to have stopped working?
very grey and flat. I know how to change the background color, but is there anyway to add more color to the interface in general...tools, menu or palette color? Yes I do know that we can highlight individual menu items on drop down.
I am having trouble adding tools to my layer palette in X4. Previously I use X2 and can perform this action. However it seems to be lacking in X4 and I certainly miss that.
In X2 I could easily add duplicate layer in the layer tab and all I had to do was a single click the tool and I could perform this action, it was convenient keeping in the same area where I could also delete the layer.
I know in X4 I can add the duplicate layers in the top toolbar, however it is not as convenient and seems to be counterintuitive to have it away from the delete layer tool. I also miss the other layer palette customizations.
Is there any other way to add the duplicate layers on the layers palette? Is there a way to perhaps copy the workspace from x2 to x4(probably a silly question).
Quite often when I open drawings or just open AutoCAD my tool palete is there but none of the tools are there to select from? If I reset the tool palette it does the same. Sometimes they are there and sometimes they are not?? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it still happens. I'm using AutoCAD LT 2013 for Mac. Screen shot attached.
I'd like to know how to make the LR4 crop and others tools palette to not scroll on right panel, i.e. to make them behave just like in LR3 - the whole panel is scrolling up and down, but the tool palette itself is staying on the top and dont move. I know, that hitting the T letter make the palette to not scroll (something like 'always on top' command in other software), but this also hides the toolbar under the picture. Oh, and once more - to make it work you have to roll off the upper panel.
My question is - how to make the tools palette not scrollable, but without disappearing the toolbox under the picture?
I use the clone stamp and the brush tool regularly. Each of these tools provides a Mode: dropdown list to select from in their menu bar.
The drop down options I use most frequently are Lighten and Darken. I would like to create short cuts to Lighten and Darken, such as Ctrl+Shift+L (Lighten) and Ctrl+Shift+D (Darken).
The tools panel menu bar does not appear to have a selection list in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box.
So I managed to have a fatal two disk crash and almost lost half of my catalogue. Luckily, I recovered one of the drives, but it renamed all of my files. I was using original file names (dumb mistake), and it seems there is no way to recover them. In the future I will be using YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS to keep things recoverable.
So at the moment I have recovered and renamed the files along those lines (YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS). What I want to do is rename the links in the catalogue to match as the files have that exif data, and then I think I can recover the files. Of course, Lightroom is throwing up roadblocks. I'd like to recover the photos with their edits, so is there a way to rename the files in the catalogue to match my new files?
I maintain our enterprise tool palette so all others have read-only access. I keep the entire tool palette structure on a network drive, of course, so all have access to it. This works fine for all networked desktop computers but we have several laptops that are not always networked so i have copied all the necessary files, including the entire tool palette structure, to the hard drives of these laptops every time i update the palettes.
I recently added a new tool/icon to our palettes so i copied the palettes directory structure from our network drive to the local hard drives but, even after an AutoCAD reboot, the new tool does not show up.
I just installed the upgrade to CS6 Design and Web Premium yesterday. Received my email for the free upgrade yesterday morning and all went fine for the download and install as far as I can tell.
Both the flash screen as well as the about Photoshop screen show CS6 extended, yet I have no 3D tools at all, either in the menu or toolbar. This is the case both with my laptop and desktop.
I have the latest drivers for my video cards and "use graphic processor" is checked in preferences.
desktop system specs: Windows XPpro 32bit service pack 3 graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 5450 4 gigs RAM 425 gigs free on scratch disk
