I was sitting here using PSCS4 and I noticed that as I was rotating the canvas I no longer had that huge compass rose appear. I rather like it this way. I don't know if I hit something or if there is just a graphical updating glitch going on. But, is there a way to turn the compass rose on/off? If not, Adobe definitely needs to implement this along with the ability to make it smaller, or more translucent,

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am editing some artwork in PS. I use quick keys to go between: b,e,g...(brush, erase, paintbucket). As I move through the image I zoom in and out with key strokes. I haven't figured out just what combination brings up a compass, but when it appears my canvas (not the image, but the whole canvas) kants to one side or another. If I see it in time I mess with it to get it back, but as I don't know what it is called I'm having a terrible time looking up how to control it and set it back to square. It seems like all the layers are okay within the image, so nothing is out of registration, but I don't know what is happening.
Any tool that is activated? Then I can figure out when to use it for real and how to undo it when I don't want it. I'm on a Mac Book Pro using Master Collection 6 and the touch pad. It seems like my finger motions might be triggering it. I have tried to step back, but it wasn't an option. Undo didn't do anything.
I got CS6 (OS 10.6.8) yesterday and am having a problem with windows containing an image. When I drag an image onto the PS6 icon, the image opens at 0.456%. I enlarge it to 100%, using cmd-1 (actual pixels), the image resizes to 100%, but the window does not also enlarge, so I have to resize the window to see the entire image. If I press cmd-0 (fit on screen) the image goes back to 0.456%, just the opposite as it should behave. This occurs with all images and is making PS6 unusable. Also, is there anyway to get rid of that canvas that's hiding my desktop?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using PSCS and I can't get the entire canvas to rotate 90 degrees or flip vertically or horizontally (see attached screen shot). In fact Edit>Transform is dimmed unless I Select All, but then I lose part of the image unless I stop, make a bigger canvas, select all, rotate and deselect. Another workaround is, I can make the background layer into an O layer and then I can flip and rotate, but again,only the image moves, not the canvas. I used to be able to do it but not since I re-installed PSCS.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm searching for the "rotate view" tool in my trial version of PS Elements 11. Or some other convenient way to freely turn the canvas, allowing me to draw with my tablet comfortably.I want to rotate the image as a whole, without actually rotating/changing the picture, as you would rotate a sheet of paper. So no transformation.Is this compass-looking tool I've seen people use Photoshop-exclusive and not part of Elements?

I dont want to have to click through all the windows everytime i want to free rotate the canvas. I'm using a wacom tablet.
I recently installed Windows 8 RTM and Photoshop CS6 Standard. I have installed the patch brining it up to 13.1 but rotate via the intuos tablet and it doesn't work. Intuos5 has touch now and that feature works on my laptop with W7 and CS5. Rotate canvas is also available on the touch ring but that doesnt work either.

I'm already very impressed (and somewhat overwhelmed) by all the features I've seen so far in Gimp.
My MacBook Pro had been able to use the Rotate Canvas feature in the earlier release of Photoshop CC I downloaded in July, 2013. With the update in September, this feature has stopped working and it no longer detects my video card. True, I don't have 512 Megs of Video memory. And I have tried to install updated NVidia drivers for my computer... but even it refuses to update. My computer has 2 video cards depending on power settings.
OS X 10.6.8
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M (when in energy savings mode)
NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT (normal and usually the display driver I use)
I can not accept that rotate canvas does not work because of my video card or my lack of video card memory. Both Maya and ZBrush are able to handle this operation using software rendered modes. Maya is also able to use my hardware using Viewport 2.0.
Is it possible to enable in Gimp the function to rotate the canvas in real-time while drawing with the graphic tablet; like Sketch Book?

Sometimes when I am working on a image that I have selected and inverted a compass suddenly appears and rotates the image for me. This can happen to every image or not at all, which makes me think it might be a bug within the software. When it does happen it can be very frustrating as I am usually working on a large number of images and it reduces the amount of images that I can work on.
If I upgrade to CS6 the issue will be resolved? I am using a MacBook Pro 17ins 10.5.8 and it is Mac OSX.

An associate on campus asked me if there was a way to print the viewcube and compass when he plots a drawing. What he is doing is printing pdf's of different sections of the drawing, and wanting the compass to appear on each printed section.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just got CS5.1 at my job. This must be a preference, but when I adjust the Canvas size, it will constrain the image, rather than cropping the canvas. The Anchor in the Canvas Size menu appears outlined (highlighted?) which indicates that this is something in preferences that I can adjust.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I created a pvc pressure pipe to use in addition to the ductile iron pipe that comes with the software. Problem is, when I draw my pipes, the compass doesnt disply the different bends at which I can use. If I switch to the ductile iron pipe that came with the software, all my bends show up that I can draw at. Why dont they show up on the compass for my pipe I made?

I have tried a thousand different scenarios with the new pressure pipes. When I create a new parts list and try to draw a water line, the compass only gives me 3 angles. This is using the "out of the box" templates.

i am doing a simple project making a survey plot for a piece of land that will be broken into subdivision. all measurements are of my starting point. after plotting the starting point i try to draw line that is 113 feet long and at a bearing of N 5d W i have no problem entering this data but when i hit enter it draws a straight line. now i know 5 degrees is much of an angle so i thought maybe it just looked straight and tried to plot the next point which was 542 feet from the last point at a bearing of N 39d E but once again after i put the info in and hit enter or space it would plot a line of the proper length but vertical, not the proper angle i need it at. here is how i would put in the info:
first i choose the lne command and choose my "beginning point" as that starting point for my line then i type 113<N 5d W for the length and direction and hit enter. when i do this it plots a vertical line of the proper length but wrong angle. what am i doing wrong? i have ortho set to off and idk what else to mess with
I cant figure our how to hide the border in PS.
I'd rather there was a straight transition from the gray workspace to my image. I find the border distracting.
Can this be hidden?
I work on computer forensic investigations and I am currently working a case where there is evidence that a person has possibly hidden an image using Photoshop, Gimp, or something. The things I need to know is what image format do I need to be looking for? There were no .psd's on the hard drives but what other formats? Can a .bmp, .,jpg, or .png for example be manipulated with layers, masks, or anything else to conceal an image. Also, I am not a big photoshop user but I need to investigate this further. I will be using Gimp. What would be the process of importing an image and showing the layers. I have tried but failed miserably in working with layers, trying to show different layers, etc.
