Photoshop :: PS 7: Moving Text In Layers

May 22, 2009

I've been using PS7 for a long time and this has never happened before. One minute things were fine and then something changed. Maybe I hit a combination of keys .... well here's the issue. I type text onto a blank layer. I try to move the text. In the pallette, the cursor drops off the text layer, and onto the background, instead. In order to move the text, I wind up clicking on it numerous times, or if I click on it very slowly, I can grab it to move it. This is not how it was working just yesterday. I'm sure this sounds confusing, I'm just not sure how to describe it any better. (It's not my mouse, I tried a different one.) I tried Adobe's help site and saw this:"Clicking in an image with a type tool puts the type tool in edit mode. You can enter and edit characters when the tool is in edit mode; however, you must commit changes to the type layer before you can perform some operations. To determine if a type tool is in edit mode, look in the options bar--if you see the Commit button (a check)  and Cancel button (circle with slash), the type tool is in edit mode."

Photoshop :: Clipping Mask Multiple Text Layers Without Merging Text Layers

Dec 29, 2008

I am trying to get a white layer with see through writing which reveals the background image underneath. (Almost like I have put a stencil over a photograph). I have discovered this is called a clipping mask.

However, I am having difficulty using a clipping mask over multiple text layers. It seems to only do it to one layer directly beneath. I do not want to merge the text layers as I want to mess about with the design a fair bit.

Photoshop :: CS5 - Moving Layers

Jun 10, 2012

In the past two weeks I've noticed a weird problem with my Photoshop CS5.  I'm on Windows 7 64-bit with CS5 version 12.0.4 X64. 
 
Sometimes (not always) when I click a layer in the layer menu and try to move it with the move tool, it jumps to a different layer (not to the one I selected) and moves that one instead.  Now, this is only if I move it with my mouse.  If I move it with the keyboard, it works fine. 
 
Also, if it starts doing this with a layer, it will continue to do it with that layer forevermore.  Even when I close the program and re-open it again.  Or if I save it as a diffeent filename.  If I duplicate the layer, it will do it on both the original layer I was having trouble with and the new copy of that layer.  I can also merge it down with a blank layer and it'll retain the problem in the new, merged layer. 
 
It's annoying to have to move the affected layers with the arrow key. 
 
I did find a mention of this problem on a mac, but the solution did not seem to apply to a PC.

Photoshop :: Moving Paths Between Layers In CS6

Jan 18, 2013

I use paths a lot. Shape layers, vector masks, etc.
 
In previous versions of Photoshop, I could simply drag vector masks from one layer to another, just like other layer masks. Now (with CS6) I have to do a convoluted copy an paste, switching back and forth between the layers panel and the paths panel.
 
Is there an easier way to do this?

Photoshop :: Moving Multiple Layers At Once?

Nov 3, 2005

Is there anyway possible to move multiple layers at the same time, the reason I ask is because I need layers to stay aligned with others. I don't want to rasterize them because I need to edit them after I move them.

Photoshop :: Moving Layers In A Composition For...

Apr 6, 2009

I can't move one layer' image to be under/over another one in the final arrangement space because when I do, they lose all the adjustments I had previously made. Background: I didn't move the adjusted photos into the final space in the right way in this, my first venture into CS 4, and know that now. However, when I DO try to move new photos I have adjusted and properly  transferred them via Edit>merged and Edit>paste to the final place and try to move <i>those images</i>, the same thing happens! I need to know how to overlap images for placement.

Photoshop :: CS6 - Moving Layers / Using Brushes - Everything Happens With 1-2 Second Delay?

Nov 8, 2012

I'm experiencing really strange cursor behavior, better explained here: [URL]...

Also after running Photoshop for some time I start to get a nasty lag. Moving layers, using brushes, everything happens with a 1-2 second delay. Hardware should not be an issue.

If I restart PS lag goes away for a while but always returns. I noticed that closing images doesn't reduce the memory PS is using according to task manager. Every image opened just increases PS memory usage, is this normal?

Photoshop :: CS6 Dead Slow Moving Layers And Groups

Oct 18, 2012

I have this brand new PC, got it last week,  i7 core, SSD drive, 16gb ram.When I open my PSD doc with my design (approx 43mb psd file) then the photoshop application spikes in memory usage, to 3.5gb (from 120mb), and moving groups and layers around is DEAD SLOW, horrible lag.
 
I had CS3 on my previous PC, which was Core2 Duo with 4gb ram, and the speeds there were similar on the same psd document.I've also tried CS5.1 on a similar PC hardware specs as my new PC, and moving groups and layers around is much faster.Is it just CS6? Why is this so slow?

Photoshop :: Layers Pixelated When Resizing And Moving On Background

Nov 14, 2013

I have Photoshop CS 5.1 running on Windows 7.  When I resize a layer using the Free Transform function, the image "Pixilates" and looses sharpness.  I have used this feature before on my computer without a problem.   I took my work to school to show my instructor.  I did the same thing on the school's Apple without problem.  What am I doing wrong?

Photoshop :: Text Layers Changing Into Other Text Layers

Nov 18, 2013

I often will borrow groups and layers from one document and drag them into a new or a different PS document to borrow the layers and formatting so I am not starting over from scratch with a design that I just need to re-work into a different size.

But in the last two weeks, when I drag the layers over, they start mysteriously changing into other layers that I did not drag over. What is causing this bug? It wasn't there before as I have performed this action many times in various projects. I am using PS CS6 on a Mac Book Pro.

Photoshop :: Increase Font Size In Many Text Layers At A Time By Selecting In Layers Panel

May 9, 2013

I would like to increase the font size in many text layers at a time by selecting them in the layers panel. The font increases, but the text boxes don't expand to fit the increased size text. So I am having to make each box bigger manually. Is there a way to have the boxes expand to fit bigger text automatically through the layers panel?

AutoCad :: Why Blocks Not Moving Layers

Nov 12, 2011

I have multiple copies of a block, and when I move one copy to a layer, it doesn't seem to actually move.

For example, if I have 2 copies of block A, and move one copy from layer "Inside" to layer "Outside", then hide layer "Outside", the block I just moved doesn't hide, but everything else on layer "Outside" does hide.

When I inspect the moved block, the properties say it's on layer "Outside". What is going on?

GIMP :: Moving Layers In PSD File?

Oct 9, 2013

I'm trying to move text in a PSD file that I opened in Gimp. I've recorded a Screencast video here, (removed link because image is not quite ready to be shared with the outside world;-) which shows what I'm trying to do.

Basically, I have a line of text which is several layers deep that says "IS THE NORM". I need to move the word "the" over to the left a little because it's a little too close to the word "norm".

However, when I select it and Cut, nothing happens. I tried locking the layer, even though I don't really know what that means - just saw it on YouTube and figured I'd try it - but no luck.

Illustrator :: Moving Paths In Layers

Jan 25, 2013

I have selected paths on the artboard and would like to be able to move them into one layer.
 
As there are a large number is there anyway of moving them to a new layer without selecting them (blue highlighting) and moving them?
 
They are selected on the artboard so the colour square appears next to them in the layers panel but I can't move them to a new layer without selecting them (even using ctrl or shift is still quite time consuming).

Illustrator :: Moving Layers With Respect To One Another?

Jan 10, 2013

I'm trying to trace a new map using parts of two maps. I can trace the parts I want of one map, imported as a template, but now I want to import the other map as a template, and reposition my tracing over the second template.  When I import the second template, it's in the wrong place (as expected), but I can't move my tracing layer to a different place over the new template -- both layers move together.  Is there a way of moving layers independently?

AutoCAD LT :: Moving Drawings And Layers Interchangeably

Jun 18, 2013

I have two .dwg files. One file has every layer that I could possible need on it. The other file is an existing file created in my office. So, I want to take an existing drawing that does not have a good layer naming system and move it into the file that does. I saw in another post that this can be done in the Design Center, however when I go to copy layers from the existing file to the destination file it won't let me. Does this make any sense?

GIMP :: Moving A Selection With Lots Of Layers

Dec 10, 2013

I just started using GIMP the other day, and it's great; I've already gotten the hang of layers and moving stuff around! But sometimes, after I put together a part of an image using multiple layers, I'd like to move that part somewhere else to give me more room or to put it next to something else. Is there a way to do this without going through each of the layers, selecting the part, and moving the part to its destination layer by layer?

I know this is basic I slect one layer for the image .

Paint.NET :: Moving Layers Forward / Back?

May 28, 2013

The Paint.Net tutorial shows tools to move layers forward or backward.  I couldn't find these tools in the layers' drop down menu. 
 
Edit ------------------------------
 
Never mind -- I did find out where these commands were hidden... I'm working on a map, and I'm trying to get latitude and longitude lines to overprint the actual map.  As I moved the layer with the lat/longitude lines "forward" they don't appear to overprint the map in the background.  Is there some other secret here to get the desired effect?

GIMP :: Moving / Resizing Whole Group Of Layers

Jun 16, 2011

I suggest having the ability to group layers, such that operations performed on the group would act on all the layers in that group simultaneously. This would allow making a whole bunch of items (each on their own layer), then moving/re-sizing/whatever the whole group of layers.
