Photoshop :: Move Tool Does Not Move Layer When Dragging With Wacom Tablet
Jan 14, 2013
I am using the trial version of CS5 (probably going to upgrade at the end of the trial), and I've only found one thing about it that I don't like more than CS3. This is VERY VERY annoying, and I'm not sure if it's a glitch, or just a preference that needs to be reset:
When using the move tool, I will move something and it will just snap back to where it originally was. When it snaps back, it might move a few pixels over in the direction I was dragging, but it is definitely not moving to where I want it to go. The only way to get things to move the way I want to is by Free Transform...but it's annoying, when you're trying to design a layout, to have to free transform every element you want to move, first.
I'm guessing that this is a glitch because sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't...it's pretty random. I've tried turning Snap on and off, and nothing changes.

I try to select and move a layer using the Move Tool, another layer is immediately selected and moved instead.
Also, if I have layers inside a folder and try to move one of those layers, the entire folder is selected and all layers within that folder move.
I have not grouped any layers together.
I'm using Mac OS 10.4.8 with PS 9.0.1

I always paste an image on a layer then select the layer and use the Move Tool to move it around until it is placed where I want it. Now I paste the image, select the layer, choose the Move Tool and the layer selection jumps to another layer and that one gets moved. (CS5)?

When I attempt to use the move tool to move a layer, as I grab the object in that layer, the move tool suddenly switches to the highest most layer, not the layer I selected. I can't seem to change this and this only started happening recently.

So I am adding a leaf to the waterfall image. The leaf is on it's own layer with a layer mask, and was moved into position without a problem. A drop shadow was added with Layer Styles, but when trying to move the layer again, the mask moved, but the layer stayed behind.
I checked for Auto select, which was off. I unlinked the mask, tested, relinked the mask, and tested again. Same problem. Eventually it started working OK after I tried moving with first the layer active, and then the mask active, and swapping this state about three times. I could not get it to misbehave again after this.
Nothing was locked. Auto select was off. Other layers all moved OK. I can find no explanation, and think of no user error (touch wood).

I try to move text in a layer with the move tool. I highlight the text layer, select the move tool, and move the tool to the text. As soon as I click on the layer with my mouse, the highlight moves to an image layer below the text layer. I can move the text using the arrow keys, but that takes forever.

I'm having a problem with my Wacom tablet. The stylus tool works fine (gradients, pen, paint) except for the erase tool - it won't erase to full transparency when I select the erase tool then drag my stylus. This is weird, since the actual eraser end of the stylus works fine: I just hate using that end of the tool, and much prefer using the stylus' pointed end to do all my work.

Is there a way to get the move tool to pan only to the edges of the layer and thus not show me the gray area outside the layer?
I'm making a math video and I want a way to constantly return back to the top left corner of the image.

I'm looking to get a wacom tablet, but I'm not really sure what tablet it best for digital art and animation type stuff. I'll be using it with Photoshop CS6 and probably Toon Boom or some other animation software. I'm just not sure what the difference is between the tablets.

I've gotten into a mode where I can't move objects by click dragging the mouse with the left mouse button. I've looked everywhere to see if there is some config parameter that changes the meaning of mouse buttons, but have found none. I've rebooted and reloaded Draw and nothing has changed. I'm sure X6 didn't come this way, even though I've only been using X6 for 6 months or so. I click drag move objects all the time, so I'm sure I'd have noticed this. I've even tried resetting the workspace, but holding down the F8 key while loading Draw doesn't seem to work.

When I move my mouse over the drawing area, the brush simply freezes at the corner next to the rulers, the regular cursor continues to move and I can click on the buttons, tools and menu, but my mouse is not functioning in the workspace, I can use my wacom tablet fine, but I still need my mouse to be functional for lassoo tools etc.
It is a very recent install, I may have some how buggered the mouse input when configuring my wacom.
I'm running Arch Linux, with KDE.

I hit the zoom tool to zoom in on my document. Say I want to zoom in 5 times. After zooming in once (clicking on the document once), the magnifying glass switches to the move tool cursor If I click again, slowly, it goes back to zooming.

When I have a none vector tool active for example the brush tool and I press and hold the Ctrl key down I see the cursor change from the current tool to the move tool cursor. If I presses and hold the Alt key I see the cursor change from the current tool to the eyedropper tool. If I press and hold both the Ctrl+Alt keys a see a cursor icon change to an icon that has two up pointing Arrow heads one Black the other White. What tool is that cursor for? It seems to copy and move the current layer and move its position over the canvas.

I could have sworn that in previous versions of Photoshop, before version CS4, that if there was a link icon between the layer thumbnail and the layer mask on that same layer, if you move one or the other, they both move. In CS4, how do you move the layer pixels and the layer mask at the same time so that they stay lined up?

I am on the creative cloud and have down loaded and successfully installed PS6. I am a professional illustrator and use the Wacom tablet. My concern is with the pen pressure effect not staying on. I have went to option on PS6 and checked for updates and down loaded them with no results and called support as well .
I went to the Wacom sit as well to check to if my drivers are updated and they are, and called their support as well with no results. I understand that PS6 is a new product and that I may have to wait for patches, that is fine.

I use my Wacom Saphire CTE 430 for all my software. Recently I decided to move from Corel PhotoPaint to CS3. However, I am experiencing a very strange problem. If I use the mouse none of the photo shop paint tools work. If I use the pen the paint tools work but others do not. At first I thought is was my ignorance of PS and that I just needed to configure something. I eventually discovered that if I disconnect the tablet Photoshop works fine. I have downloaded and installed the latest Wacom Vista drivers as suggested by Wacom but it has not fixed the problem. PS is the ONLY program experiencing problems with the tablet. I run AutoCad 2008, Sketchup Pro and CorelDRAW X3 suite and they work flawlessly.

I'm currently using Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows XP with an Wacom Intuos 3 tablet.
The problem I'm having is that when I use the tablet pen to click anywhere in
Photoshop, the cursor essentially locks in place and does not move. On the canvas, this means I can only place dots. This happens whether I'm clicking on tools, scrollbars, etc...
I used to be able to use it fine in CS2, but then it stopped working on day, and I thought that maybe upgrading would solve the issue. However, this has just left me with the same issue.
The pen does work normally in all other programs, such as in MS Paint or when clicking and dragging to select icons on the desktop. Also, clicking and dragging with a mouse works normally.

So a friend created a model using zbrush and exported several different *.OBJ files. I imported those to maya and added shaders. They all fit correctly together when imported.
some of those obj files required me to do a mesh->combine. so now it appears that not every item has the same reference point so that when I move or scale the entire item, some of the objects move seperately. I think it is only the ones I had to combine.
I tried freeze transformations, but when doing that, some of the objects lost their scale settings and still didnt move together as one unit.

What happened to the option/enter command in the move object dialog that has been around since the early days of Illustrator??? Instead of having to mouse click the "copy" button in the move object window, one could just hold down option with Return or Enter and the Copy command would happen rather than a simple move. Immensely useful for prepress work!

I have Wacom Bamboo Fun with latest drivers, use Vista 64 and run PS in 64bit mode. I uninstalled CS3 before installing CS4. The tablet worked in CS3 as expected, but CS4 ignored pen pressure - it always worked like mouse - with maximum pressure. In order to fix this problem I uninstalled and reinstalled Wacom drivers and cleared PS preferences by starting PS with Alt-Ctrl-Shift. Now Photoshop ignores the tablet completely - the cursor won't move and I need to use mouse to navigate in Photoshop.

Just been fiddling about with cs4 and realised there is no pressure sensitivity in the brushes -
It does it with the previous and latest driver.

Well, I just hooked up my old Bamboo tablet (the medium size) and downloaded
the new drivers. The reports of issues with the pen tablet are well founded.
For me I have several issues...
1. If you press to hard on the pen you get this animated ring and then a
brush adjustment dialog pops up. I hate this thing but can't figure out how
to turn it off. If this is supposed to be useful it isn't at least not for
me, it is so annoying. I don't know if this is a Photoshop thing or a Wacom
thing but I hate it. If anyone knows of a way to turn this off please let me
know.
2. The brush is very choppy when you are painting, etc. What I have noticed
however is that as you paint even if you never pull the pen from the tablet
surface Photoshop is creating dozens of history states as it does this
Photoshop must be doing something with memory or scratch space because it is
during the rapid creation of history states that it causes the pen to pause
making it seem choppy. I have no idea why Adobe would set it up this way.
When I create a single stroke no matter how much area I cover that should be
one history state and not dozens.

If I have a dynamic block of a window. I can move either side of the block but the basepoint doesn't move. Is there a way to move the basepoint as well so its not off in space? or just delete it and have it now shown?
