Photoshop :: How To Make Lab Sliders Sticky In CS4
Nov 17, 2011
Tech- MacMini 2011, Lion, CS4
I edit color in LAB mode. In CS3 I would use the eyedropper tool to select a neutral point and then a levels layer to adjust the color while I was watching the LAB sliders in the color panel. Quick and easy.
Now the problem. In CS4 the color panel changes to greyscale when the levels layer is highlighted. How do I make the LAB sliders sticky? If I edit the color with simply a levels adjustment (not layer) it still works the old way I am used to. I toggled the dynamic slider preference to no avail and I can't find anything else I can change.

In the previous versions of Photoshop I've used (CS3, CS5), when I opened multiple panels (e.g. History, Info, etc) they would all stay open for reference. However with CS6 I've noticed that if I have, say, the History panel open, and also open, say, Info, then the History panel closes.
How can I change this behavior such that each panel I open will stay open and visible until I direct it otherwise? It's frustrating to have to keep using Window->History (or whatever) each time I need to see one or the other.

Is there a way to make spot elevations not be sticky?
When I am annotating spot elevations in a site plan on a steep slope with retaining walls, the spot elevations keep snapping to points that I don't want them to. When I get close to a point I want to annotate, the spot will jump to another point that is close, such as the bottom of a retaining wall, and I want to annotate the grade at the top of wall.
Snap Off doesn't work.
Is there a setting buried in Revit that can be changed to control this? My guess it that it's built in and can't be changed...

I upgraded to LR4 from LR3. After opening LR4 I realized that the Develop/Basic menu sliders are identical to LR3, i.e., Exposure, Recovery, Fill Light, Blacks, Contrast, Clarity, Vibrance and Saturation.

CS6, OSX10.6.8, MacPro 8 core
CS6 fails to remember a keyboard shortcut after shutting down PS. Upon the next launch, the keyboard shortcut is not assigned anymore. When I assign a keyboard shortcut: Opt F3 to a script in File>Automate>Scripts>script_xxx the shortcut works fine until I shut down PS. The next time I launch CS6 the shortcut does not work. Going into the keyboard shortcut menu I find that under script_xxx there is no shortcut assigned. If I reassign the shortcut: Opt F3, it will work... until I shut down CS6. (rinse and repeat).

I run PS CS5 with Windows 7 on a Bootcamp Macbook.
About 40% of the time when I want to nudge slices, layers or text fields nothing will happen until I hit space (hand tool) and shift the canvas. It's as if moving it wakes Photoshop up and it re-renders the screen with the newly positioned element.
This gets quite tedious and like I say, strangely doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes I can shut the program down and it will go away when reopened and sometimes not. Other times, this bug won't happen for a day or two then rear its head again for no apparent reason.

The image attached has a kind of gloopy effect around the edge of all the text. It's not uniform but is tailored to each curve/angle and it rotates around the edge rather than all pointing in the same direction.
I've tried creating brushes in PS & Illustrator that could follow the curves of the edge but they look neither random or pretty...
I've tried diplacing a halftone line pattern & masking out the bits not needed but it won't curve the same way...
I've tried drawing the paths individually & stroking them with different effects but that just looked plain ugly...

1. When I attempt to COPY or MOVE an object that has a line attached to it the line also moves with it. It seems as though AutoCAD is considering them as one unit instead of separate objects. This is especially frustrating when using lines to mark Datum placements.
2. Also, I notice that the above occurs when moving objects, but instead of moving a line with the selection it stretches it. I must have an option selected, but would like to change that.

I love using keyboard shortcuts in Illustrator but since I've upgraded to CC Illustrator on both my computers acts as if the keys are covered in glue when trying to use keyboard shortcuts.
I'll hit the keyboard shortcut for the rectangle tool for instance...hit the keyboard again harder, nothing, strange I think and hit again harder, again and again and on the 8th or 10th time it suddenly works. This is repeated on most keyboard shortcuts on and off, not every time.
This is consistent and new since CC upgrade across both machines.

When importing images, the filename prefix, image number, directory, and other attributes are "sticky" between imports (they're remembered so you don't have to enter them again for the subsequent import), however the keywords aren't remembered. I'd suggest they should, just as the other attributes are. Wandering through the discussions, it appears the import dialog keyword field was sticky in 2009. Did it change or is there an options setting somewhere I can't find that would toggle this behavior?

I have several iitems that I need to place coincident to a single surface. Is there a way to select the surface and then just select each of the other components without having to select the main surface for each item?

I am working on a PC with Illustrator CS6 and an Intuos 4 Wacom pad. Essentially, when I use the selection tool, it will drag the selection box around with me until the pen stops hovering. So I click down, it starts to drag a selection box, I remove the pen and it keeps dragging.

Ok, so in photoshop there is this thing that when i resize or move around an image it will "stick" to the edges of the canvas allowing for an easier alignment, but this doesn't seem to be the case with gimp, so my question is: is there a way to activate those "sticky edges" in gimp while resizing a picture?

I am learning Photoshop from an excellent book by Scott Kelby. He has a section which clearly explains the use of Chromatic sliders. All I have is a check box. How do I get to these sliders? I have CS5.

why there are scrubby sliders as well as the regular controls in Photoshop and other Adobe products. Obviously I must be missing something; but to my eye, this appears to be feature redundancy.

iMac, OS 10.8.5 Photoshop CS 6. I have activated the Graphics Display Unit (or whatever it is called) and, with an image in Photoshop and its Layer selected, I do Filters > Render > Lighting Effects. I get the panel on the right called Properties and under it some sliders for Color, Hotspot, etc.
Burt moving the sliders makes no change to the image. Tutorials say that I should get a white elliptical shape with white blobs which should allow me to alter the lighting effects, ("Lighting Controls"?) but nothing appears. The tutorials show a "Menu Bar" should appear just under the three coloured blobs at the top left of the main window. That "Menu Bar" shows, from left to right, something like: a light bulb; Presets-Custom; Lights and three tiny blobs; some thing else; and at the right end, a check; Preview; Cancel; and OK in blue.
I think that "Menu Bar" with Preview checked must appear before I can use the lighting controls on the image.How the heck do I get to see a preview so that I can see and use the lighting controls?

In CS3 after clicking onto the slider "triangle" I can then adjust it with the mouse wheel. I don't appear to be able to do this in CS6. Can this be remedied?

What happened to the hand drag sliders in CS6? You know when you would create an adjustment layer and then you could hover below the sliders and just start dragging either way? And you could option+double click and reset the value to 0. Is this functionality still in CS6?

When dragging various sliders in Photoshop CS5, very often these sliders get "stuck" and move with the mouse even though you have released the mouse. Say you are dragging a slider to set the brush opacity to 50%. When you have set it to 50%, you release the mouse and move it away from the slider, only to find that the opacity still increases or decreases as you move your mouse. You have to click again to fix this, but then of course you have to go back and do it again.
Below is a small illustration (I can't take a screenshot of my mouse) of an example of when this happens:
This happens to me around once every 5 times I use a slider, i.e. extremely often. As you can imagine, it's very annoying and frustrating.I use a Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet, and I never use Photoshop without it so I cannot confirm whether this bug happens with a mouse or just the tablet.It doesn't just happen like on the above illustration, but also with any slider such as those in Adjustment Layers and Filters.The bug does not happen when using tools on the canvas. So the Brush tool, and every other tool, works fine and never gets "stuck".I have the latest version of Photoshop CS5.This is a bug that has always been in CS5 since the first version, and it has not been in previous versions of Photoshop.

I've seen color gradations in the tint sliders (which makes selecting exactly what color hue you're shooting for easier). Is this a feature only in CS3 and above (just like the histogram display in the curves palette)?

I bought Photoshop CS5 from the internet but it seems when I convert my Raw files using Adobe Bridge the tool bars /sliders on the right are all black. If I didn't know Photoshop well (I work as a professional photographer) I would be in big strife!
bring the light back on the subject of this issue??Should it be an update issue or have I somehow got a glitchey software issue?

In Cs6 whenever I touched any of the sliders the image in the preview panel changed quite nicely, now when I start the HDR Pro it comes up with a black image in the preview panel. Thats easy to fix though I switch from 16 bit or 8 bit to 32 bit the preview shows up and I can click on the 16 or 8 bit modes and it shows a preview.
Then when I adjust any of the sliders nothing happens. I can play with the sliders as much as I want nothing happens. I have been using the 32 bit mode in cunjunction with the 'tone in ACR' setting which gives great results, but now I wanted to play with the scott5 preset. If I click ok it creates the image beautifully. So not only won't it preview but my image is completely different to what is in the preview panel.

I used to be able to control the sliders on my earlier Adobe Elements with my middle wheel on my mouse but on installing 12 version this does not seem to work any more, which is a great pity as it was so precise.

I don't know if I missed anything but when using PSE 10 I find that many of the adjustment sliders are very difficult too see. For instance if you use the spot healing tool you basically have a black slider on a black background.

1.) When moving the the dark or light value sliders, why does it also move the midrange slider? Aren't midrange values independent of light or dark values?
2.) I understand that every histogram is different and there is no right histogram. With that said, it does show if an image is too dark or too light and if I am just aiming for a good balance I am dragging the white slider to the left to lighten it up, and I am dragging it to where the histogram is just touching the bottom. Is there also some guideline to follow for the midrange slider where I can look at the histogram and determine which way to drag the slider?

This morning (10/25/12) after booted my system I had a notification that there was a set of updates to my Photoshop CS6 product set. I went ahead a did the updates which installed successfully. A few minutes later I started up Photoshop Elements 10. The start-up of PSE 10 appeared normal at first, but there was a lot of hard disk activity and the Organizer window would not respond when I tried to move the sliders. I started up Task Manager and could see that PSE 10 was continuing to use processor time. I killed PSE 10 and restarted it. I decided to let it run and so far it's been doing something for over 30 minutes. From time to time the window will flash and occasionally I get an hourglass icon to display over the window. I'm not able to move the window or shrink it. I guess I'll just let it run to see if it will ever become operational. My catalog has entries for about 40,000 images so I'm wondering if the Adobe update affected something in the catalog, although the update did not seem to include anything for PSE. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit edition with all the latest Microsoft updates.
