I'm using CS6 and can't figure out how to make the transform size lock be turned on by default. See below:
Every time I hit CTRL+T to transform something I have to go up there and click on the lock so it locks the dimensions as I transform. It's unlocked by default as seen in the photo above.
is there a way to change the lock button (maintain aspect ratio... looks like a paper clip) when using the free transform tool. the default setting is NOT proportional (ie the height and width change together in proportion) .. I would like the button to always be in the proportional lock (maintain aspect ratio) since most of my transformations are proportional.... is there a way to make this change???

Ultimately I would like to run a batch like so:

My Batch command:
* opens a dir of images and then resizes them to 600px and 150px and saves
them in two different new dir's.
This works fine but all of the images are different sizes so the smaller ones come out blurry. I can avoid this by opening each image at 600px. However, this is time consuming.

I am in the habit of processing large numbers of jpeg images for use in slide shows. When I come to signing the images I almost always use size 14, sometimes size 12, for my name print. But the size that sets seems to vary, usually coming up as size 18 and forcing me to change down to 14 eah time before signing the image. How do I go about locking in size 14 as the automatic default?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAn opened image is always locked. And if you want to do something you need to get rid of the lock. And yes, there are workarounds to do that. Can you add a preference option to turn off the backround lock default.
Rather than having to add a mask, why not also have a any new layer to automatically have a mask. Its a small step, but its something we do alot. All layers should have blank masks associated to them.
In PE 10, there was a reset tools option. I don't see this in PE 11. Is there a way to do this. If not, bring it back! It was a great tool.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been using PS CS6 (Creative Cloud) on a Windows 7 workstation and have liked the feature that shows transform box when a layer or layers is selected. On my new Windows 8 workstation I'm getting PS CS6 x64 configured with my preferences. I'm not seeing the selection box unless I manually invoke "transform" (ctrl+t) on my selection. I haven't found a setting that enables the transform view by default.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been using Xara for a very long time. I have recently started a side business generating signs and banners and continue to use Xara as my primary graphics editor, but I've discovered a tiny issue and I'm hoping there is some way around it. The Font Size live preview slider is limited (for some reason?) to sizes less than 32pt, and the font drop down list starts getting coarse after 24pt and tops out at 72pt sizes. Since most of what I'm doing involves text sizes larger than 72pt and much larger than the 32pt the slider allows, both of those options for adjusting font size have lost their usefulness.
Is there any way for me to adjust the values for the slider and/or for the drop down list to allow larger numbers? I realize I could use a scaling factor and layout my signs as a fraction of their intended size, but then I have hope to remember to change the scale when I import it into my sign cutting software or run the risk of wasting vinyl, so that would be my last choice.
Surely I can't be the only person who uses large text?
Also, any issues with exporting text into EPS and getting a change in the case of the text? If I export "This is Text" as an EPS file, when I import it into my sign cutting software, I sometimes get "tHIS IS tEXT", but if I import the same EPS into Xara it looks normal. Not sure if that is Xara or the sign cutting software (LXi Express Expert edition)... Until I figure that one out, I make sure to convert text to editable shapes before exporting it...
In Photoshop CS6, if using Free Transform to change the size of a newly-made selection, you have to click 'Maintain Aspect Ratio' option every time to maintain the aspect ratio. How annoying is that! Why isn't this 'Maintain Aspect Ratio' option selected by default? Certainly in my case, there are vastly more occasions when I want to maintain the aspect ratio, and so, in my case at least, it would be much more user-friendly to have 'Maintain Aspect Ratio' selected, by default. Or, alternatively, why isn't there an option in Preferences to either have 'Maintain Aspect Ratio' automatically selected, or unselected, by default, leaving the user to toggle from this starting position, if they want?

Problem: Transform applied to Smart Object fails to transform an attached Smart Filters Mask.
I mean a Transform, including Free Transform, as found in the Edit menu. A simple move by the Move Tool is OK.
A workaround until this bug is squashed is to encapsulate the Smart Object + Smart Filters + Filter Mask inside another Smart Object and transform that.However, that will not be a satisfactory solution in some cases. If a filter has size parameter(s), e.g. Gaussian Blur radius, a scaling or warping/distorting transform applied after the filter will obviously differ from the filter applied after the transform.
In any case, the workaround is inconvenient to subsequent editing and experimenting with filters and masks.

I have a PSD with a layer that is locked.
I cannot find in the manual how to unlock the layer.
I am using Photoshop a lot for more simple tasks, like re-sizing pictures.
Lately I have run into a problem: when I have opened a file and choose the Image/Image Size from the toolbar, Photoshop sort of locks up and will not let me make any modifications to the file. I can escape the lock by pressing the [Esc] button, but I am not allowed to do any re-sizing.
At first I thought this had something to do with the layer being locked, but even when renaming or copying the layer, and unlocking, the same lock-up happens when I try to re-sieze the new layer!
This is a recent problem, didn't use to happen, so I may inadvertently have changed some kind of setting in Photoshop. But a search in Help or this forum has not come up with any solution.
I recently made a poster which was taken to the printers, the printer said that my file was not the correct size, i had made the image to the A1 dimensions but when it printed it was much smaller on the page, they said the file wasnt the right dimensions but they can stretch it to fit, so what is wrong, is there another setting i should have used because i thought if you made the picture to the A1 dimension or to any dimension you wanted then it would print in that size?

Half way through it saves itself, then reverts back to it's original state and saves again. (This is to get the displacment map out of the same file)
What I want is this:
The file will be locked so no-one can mess with it, then I want an Applescript action (or whatever) to launch and unlock it, then when the Photoshop actions finish for another one to Lock it again so when a designer comes to save the file, he is forces to Save As. This will stop the original from being overwritten!
