View 3 RepliesI've used Photoshop 7 for around a year now, using it mainly to touch up digital photos. I've just upgraded to Photoshop CS, but I've found that I'm having difficulties with my keyboard.
Usually, to zoom in, I can press CTRL + +. However, when I do this, nothing happens. Also, when I make a mistake with the magnetic lasso tool, I can usually press my Delete key to undo the last fixed point. Again, this doesn't work. All that is on on my keyboard is "Number Lock", which just allows me to use the right hand number keypad. Even with this off, the problems still aren't solved.
My lasso and marquee tools are automatically correcting themselves. When I try to use them and select and area they change (usually into ovals) or they will tell me I do not have enough pixels selected (when I've tried it with entire photos).

The Keyboard Shortcuts show Shift + Click and Shift + Play but, for example, the Shift key can be used to stretch or shorten an audio track without losing the contents, just varying the playback speed. Are there any other uses for the Shift key?
View 6 Replies View RelatedThis new behavior of PS in which you can press a key to select a certain tool, and then pressing the same tool again will select the next tool within that tool category. Is there a way to turn it off? Its making my workflow a mess at the moment. Since in the past I've never needed to depend on looking at what icon I'm using to know what tool is selected, now having to look every time to make sure the right sub-category tool is selected is getting unbearably annoying. I already had my key assignments directly linked to sub-category tools and my workflow was fast since I never had to check anything, I just had to press 1 button and thats it. Now I'm having to take an extra step thousands of times in one afternoon because I end up always not being on the right sub tool.
If I didn't have the 5D MKIII I'd just stick with CS4 but I'm cornered since CR7 is so much better than Canons DPP software.
I'm hoping this is a dumb problem that is easily disabled with a perhaps inadvertently-enabled Preference somewhere.In the past few months I've had a lot of trouble with tools I've selected via shortcut key not... "sticking".
In other words, I'll press "Z" for Zoom or "V" for Move, and before I have a chance to use the tool, it's reverted back to whatever tool I was using already. I can sit there and watch it revert back after a few moments on its own.
If I select the tool from the Tool Palette manually by clicking the icon with the mouse, it always stays, as expected.
I seem to encounter this problem more often when I'm utilitizing a lot of RAM or have a very complex document open. Restarting Photoshop seems to "fix" the problem temporarily, but eventually it starts happening again.
I'm using CS6 13.0.5 x64 on OS X 10.8.4.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI like to use keyboard shortcuts in GIMP to select different tools or to nudge an image, but I frequently click on the layers window, which causes keyboard shortcut commands to then be directed to the layers window. So whenever I click to select a different layer or do anything with layers, afterwards I always have to have to click on the image window again to regain use of my editing keyboard shortcuts.
Because of this, I also often forget that layers window has focus and end up messing up my layers with key-shortcut commands intended for the image window. Is there some change I can make to my workflow or keyboard bindings to avoid this problem?
there's a way to setup a keyboard shortcut to adjust pressure and rate for airbrush and smudge tools? I swear I've been up and down the whole shortcuts list... and perhaps I'm just missing something...

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just downloaded AutoCAD 2012 on my imac running on my Parallels system, meaning I have the Windows version or AutoCAD 2012 running on parallels. (Because there are too many problems with AutoCAD for mac).
There is one problem however, I cannot delete by using 'backspace' on my mac keyboard. I always have to right click the selected object and go to erase. Does there exist a keyboard shortcut for erase?
I am starting to color some old line art (cartoons) but can't get any (eraser, brush etc) tools to work on the non background layer. I could just auto fill on the background but that is too finicky, too many open shapes that end up filling the whole page in that color! I want so that I can color in indiscriminately w/o worrying about covering my lines.
How come I can't get so that when I erase, I don't get the transparency checkerboard underneath? I put the BG layer on top then the erase tool does not work! What fundamental thing did I forget?
When trying to use the eyedropper or targeted adjustment tools (in the HSL menu), I will grab the tool and hover over my photo and my cursor changes to the magnifying glass. When using the eyedropper the preview will reflect the white balance but when I click my photo is enlarged instead of using the tool. I know there must be a simple answer, I am just a first time user of Lightroom (previously used Bridge/Camera RAW) and am getting very frustrated.

While trying to troubleshoot another user's problem, I discovered that I can't open the point creation tools on my computer. I can create the points by picking the appropriate type of point I want to create under the menu, but I can' change any of the point creation tools options.
Nothing happend when I click on points->create points.on the menu.
Nothing happens when I click on points->create points on hte ribbon.
I can create points by clicking on points->create points miscellaneous->manual either the ribbon or the menus.
It's like the command to open the Create Points Tools is somehow disabled on my computer.

It gets big but with massive distortion then it will clear up but will have an effect like looking into a bunch of mirrers. Also i can not get the adjustment tools to work at all.

There seems to be way too many tools in the tools panel for me. Many of them I will rarely, if ever use. Is there any way I can rearrange or remove some of them? It would unclutter the screen immensely.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have an interactive board with tools (such as pen or eraser) which I want to integrate with the AI. The typical scenario woulld be as follows: the user lifts the pen from the tray, the pen event will me mapped into selecting Pencil Tool from AI toolbar after which the user can add freehand annotations to the AI document.
Is there an API which would allow me to map abailable hardware tools with relevant AI tools? Is there an example which would demonstrate such integration?
I sometimes get lucky with the magic lasso, but often times both tools kind of select stuff i dont want. In windows you can hold ctrl and select/deselect certain files in windows even though they are not next to each other. I thought i read somewhere that holding alt or ctrl (windows) will do the trick but it doesnt. Anyone know if a good online tutorial or have any tips on learning to use lasso?

View 3 Replies View Relatedmy magnetic lasso stopped working how it use to.
Adobe Photoshop 7.0
When you click on the magnetic lasso tool it doesnt always let you select what you want to select, sometimes it will say "Warning: no pixels are more than 50% selected. The selected edges will not be visible". Other times instead of actually selecting anything close to the area I selected it just makes a circle looking lasso instead, which typically eliminates the sharp edges I would like to select at times.
I know at some point in time the magnetic lasso allowed me to select every sharp edge and every detailed spot I wanted, so what did I click? I tried reinstalling photoshop and that didnt help.
I want to select some object from an image using the Magic Wand or the Lasso tools, how do I select just that image without it including unwanted elements, or not including everything I want.
Example, picture of my truck, I want to take the truck out and put it on another image, but everytime I try the wand, it either takes things I don't want, surrounding background elements etc, or doesn't take the whole truck.
I just can't seem to get it to select everything and ONLy what I want. Isn't there a way to just outline on the very outermost regions the element I want?
