Photoshop :: Reduce Size Of Palette Without Dragging From Bottom Corner?
Sep 7, 2012
My work bought me a huge new Thunderbolt monitor yesterday, so I took advantage of the real estate and expanded my Layers palette to be very tall, and along with several other adjustments, saved this out as a custom workspace. Today though I am working only on a laptop offsite with no Thunderbolt and the bottom of the Layers palette is offscreen where I can't get to it. I know if I change workspaces to one of the Adobe presets it will give me a standard size Layers palette, but if possible I would like to work within my custom workspace and just change the height of the palette.
The problem is I can't click to transform just like him... how he does that ? All he did was select a corner and click outside the object.. the object will be transformed
I've been using this setup for years & have always been able to drag out the right bottom corner to increase the grey space round an image so i can transform better or what ever. But now when I try to drag out that corner the image window flinches slightly & a line appears around the image which disapears when I let go.Also when I try to expand the layers palette down by dragging it's lower right cornes so I can see more layers nothing happens, there is no stripey corner marks on that corner & when i try click & try to drag nothing happens.
Yesterday, I went into my presets folder because I was searching for a particular brush, and I noticed a little grey overlay icon with a white line in a 45 degree angle. The little icons sit on top of the presets icons, and they are located to the bottom left hand corner. I tried to search what that means, with no luck. Just in case, I even checked everything with my antivirus, but it doesn't seem to be a virus. What is that? (I'm running Adobe CS6, in a Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit pc)
Why can't I adjust the scale of my text by clicking and dragging the corner boxes? Why I have the text selected, all it does it let me highlight it to change font, size, etc, OR all I can do is move it throughout the artboard. Why can I click and drag the corner box to adjust?
I have a strange thing going on. I could swear there used to be the standard Browser control of - + and reduce box in the Top RH corner like in any window and every other adobe product. However, I got a virus it was hiding in Adobe reader. I believe I cleaned it as I scanned with two different virus companies. Both came up nothing found. Cleared my Temp folder, dumped trash after un installing AE. Re installed AE and still no window control?  Plus in my system start tray where my programs are where Adobe Master Collection Folder is I open that an my AE icon is a generic icon, although it will work as a shortcut.  The other thing is that it is evident in my task bar as a 'pinned icon' Here is a screen shot of AE with no + or - in top corner...
Win7 Pro Srv Pk1 3770k intel z77 mobo Nividia quadro 4000  All is updated drivers/versions  I also lost Adobe Reader as I had to uninstall as that was the Trojan file home. I stuck the disc in but did not see the icon to re-install.
I have to make it possible to insert table by choosing any of it's corners. I cannot get it to work with choosing bottom corners - I can't get the exact height of the table.
The sample code of the one-row table is: Â acApp.Document doc = acApp.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;Editor ed = doc.Editor;Transaction tr = ed.Document.Database.TransactionManager.StartTransaction();try{ BlockTable bt = (BlockTable)tr.GetObject(doc.Database.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead); Table tb = new Table(); tb.InsertColumns(0, 24, 1); tb.SetRowHeight(4); tb.Columns[0].Width = 24; tb.Columns[1].Width = 24; tb.Cells[0, 0].TextHeight = 2; tb.Cells[0, 0].TextString = "some text"; tb.Cells[0, 0].Alignment = CellAlignment.MiddleRight; tb.Cells[0, 1].TextHeight = 2; tb.Cells[0, 1].TextString = other_text_from_variable; tb.Cells[0, 1].Alignment = CellAlignment.MiddleCenter; tb.HorizontalCellMargin = 0; tb.VerticalCellMargin = 0; tb.GenerateLayout(); tb.Position = // exactly... what should I do here? BlockTableRecord btr = (BlockTableRecord)tr.GetObject(bt[BlockTableRecord.ModelSpace], OpenMode.ForWrite); btr.AppendEntity(tb); tr.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(tb, true); tr.Commit();}catch (Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.Exception ex){ ed.WriteMessage(" ERR: " + ex.Message);}finally{ tr.Dispose();} Â Now... I'm trying to make 1-row table width the height 4. I should set tb.Position by just subtracting 4 from the Y-value of the clicked point... NOT.
tb.Height gives me 4. But I get the table with height 5.667. And I can't just use that value for subtracting, because even then, bottom-right corner is about 0.2 above or below clicked point... (X-value is correct and equals the clicked point's X-value.)
The same thing happens when I insert a table with the number of rows depending on the number of the records selected from DB. The same thing happens, when I use obsolete .NumRows and .NumColumns. What am I missing?
Normally, when you select an object or a group of objects and you go to copy it/them with Ctrl+V (NOT Ctrl+Shift+V), AutoCAN'T will use the bottom left extents of the object(s) as the base point for what you are pasting. For whatever reason, when I select+copy+paste an object, the base point/origin/whatever you want to call it, is way off and not even near any of the objects.
Trying to draw a titleblock for a college assignment and its supposed to start at 5,5 but that is in the middle of the paper (A3 setup). 0,0 is somewhere in the middle too - how do i get 0,0 to be the bottom left corner of the paper in paperspace??
I'm running Win 7 on an 64 bit OS machine. LR 4 doesn't display the App control buttons in the upper right hand corner controlling CLOSE, REDUCE and MINMIZE the App. Clickingblindly in their location does nothing either. I can find no way to get them to be functional.
Is there a way for the elevation of surface to be shown in the bottom left corner along with the easting and northing as the cursor tracks over the surface? currently only the easting and northing track with the cursor the elevation remains 0.00
I lost the text window that is normally docked on the bottom of the AC screen. I searched and found that F2 brings it up, but I can't find how to have it permanently docked in the bottom left hand corner, where it normally resides. I'm using AutoCad 2002.
I have blocks forming a column, and I need to allow the user to select the top block of the column but return the bottom left corner of bounding box of the bottom block in the column.Â

 I'm not exactly sure where my code is failing but I get the following error.
I noticed that the history brush screenshot taken from the fly-out menu (instead of from the camera icon at the bottom of palette) doesn't work. History brush only works if you use the camera icon at the bottom of the history pallette and then select "current layer" for your snapshot from the drop down menu which shows up after you press the camera icon.
The bottom of my layers palette is below the visible part of my computer screen...becasue I am now working away from home on my laptop (and the layers palette is showing up the same size as it was when I last used Illustrator on my large monitor screen). How do I re-size it, so I can use the items at the bottom of the palette?
I like in CS6 when I use the marquee to select, as I am dragging it is actively showing me the size I am selecting in pixels (what you can find in the info panel).Is there a way to have this in CS5.5? It is a lot easier than always opening the info panel.
I have two objects intersecting each other on different layers. The object on the top layer I reduced the opacity for and the bottom layer which was previously hidden now is shining through. I do not want this to happen. I want the bottom layer to remain hidden beneath the top layer despite the lowered opacity. How would I accompish this simply? I have CS2.
I have Created few GIf images for website site but it not support big file size my all gif file size maximum 80 kb. i used few online tool for reduce size but after my images showing blur, I reduced file size and image still remain same. big file size take load time when upload in website, check example URL....and gif banner.
When you create a background from a layer the file size becomes significantly smaller. How photoshop reduces the file size? is it compressing the file in some way?
I have a PNG-24 file with transparent background and its current size is 1.5 MB. How to reduce file size or use PNG-8 file format and keep same quality ?
I have a question regarding the best way to reduce the size of a drawing from possibly 8” x 10” to 1”x1”. I am going to hire an artist to draw a characture of one of my clients
and use that as buttons for the website. I am thinking my options are to scan artist’s drawing into PS and reduce image, but I will definitely lose quality. Or I can retrace the drawing in Illustrator and develop a vector drawing, which I can resize . . . but how do I trace color?
when I was using Elements 5.0 I could open two photos, drag one photo into the other, then resize the photo by selecting it and using the handles. I can't find a way to do this in Photoshop CS3. Is this possible?  Am I missing a setting somewhere? I can drag one photo into another and move it around, but just can't resize it.
I have a question about the size of tiff files. I start with RAW (NEF) photos from my Nikon D800. These files generally import at around 40MB each and I am using Lightroom 4 to keep track of them. Â I'll use Lightroom's "Edit in PS" functionality, make a bunch of edits to the file in CS6, flatten all the layers, and then save the file (as a tiff). The original NEF file was ~40MB but the new tiff file (in this specific example) is over 200MB! Â How can I get the file back to a reasonable size for storage? I don't want to have to save it as a jpg - I want to keep as much information as I can.
I have load of files that I need to clean up to reduce file size (mb) without reducing image size. I have manually been doing this in tree steps; merging active layers and deleting hidden layers, deleting unused channel/masks and deleting all paths. For the layers part I have managed to create an action and run it on multiple files through the file>automate>batch menu, I would like to the same for the channel and paths or possibly all three in one.
I made some 128*128 icons, and now want to reduse the sizes to 32*32. when trying to simply change image size in Photoshop, the results were very bad - the icons lost all focus and clarity.
