When I open a properties panel / adjustment layer and I expand the panel by dragging from a corner, when I close the program I have to resize the panel the next time I use CS6
So here you can see exactly what the panels are doing:
When I open the adjustment layer from "B" above the panel opens to my preferred size:
When I open the panel from "A" above, it opens in a minimized size like this. Interestingly, any subsequent adjustment layers, whether opened from "A" or "B" are also minimized. NOT what I want.
All of this is even more annoying because I use the "Auto-collapse" option in the panel settings and whenever I try to grab the edges of a minimized panel to expand it, the panel collapses before I can expand it. So I have to go back, turn off "auto-collapse", expand the panel, turn "Auto-collapse" back on, etc.
I have a problem in Photoshop CS5 (Windows version v12.1 x64).
My screen resolution is 1680x1080, but almost all "extra" screen space is eaten up by some very wide panels. I can't adjust the width, it's locked to this extra wide look (see picture below). For example, my actions panel is two columns wide. It would give me lot's of extra screen space if I could have only one column.
P.S. I understand some panels are wider by default and therefore affects other panels if they are grouped together, but they can't be resized even when ungrouped.
It has come to my attention that the new drag-resize feature only changes the master diameter of the brush but leaves the dual-brush diameter intact. It is the only shortcut that does this resizing improperly.
I would like to know if everyone else experiences the same problem. Is it a bug or is this way of resizing intended?
I mainly do digital paintings and this small bug makes the feature useless for me. I hope that it will be fixed at least in cs5.
In previous versions I have been able to resize the canvas and then resize the image. For example resize the canvas to 250px x 250 px. Then resize the image to the same.
Here is the process I am using:
Duplicate the layer and then hide it. Resize the canvas (Image > Canvas Size) to 250px x 250 px. Un-hide the layer and then resize the image (Image > Image Size). When I go into Image>Image Size it says that the image is already 250px x 250px. However if I try to transform the scale the image is the original size and not 250px x 250px
The reason for needing this is I resize image size (in bulk) and the canvas size using the batch process (file>automate>batch) and actions. I loaded the actions file I used in previous versions, but that did not work correctly. I then went in to do this manually and got the same results.
Is there a reason why I can not open the actions panel from the timeline when I have the code panel docked and open in application frame? If I close the code panel I can view the actions panel. Why can't I have both open?
I have just been trying to resize some images on the latest version - 3.510.4297.28964 - and I have typed the measurements that I wanted into the print size fields on the resize dialogue. The actual sizes the program resizes the images to differ though - some look to be about right, whereas some come out much larger, but they all show the dimensions that I inserted in the canvas size box. I'm sure I've done this before and this hasn't happened?
From the Brush Presets Panel, I choose Basic Brushes from the drop down menu. Then Replace. The new choice of brushes appear in the Brush Panel and in the Brush Presets Panel.
But in the Brush Panel, additional brushes appear.
There are always more brushes in the Brush Panel than the Brush Presets Panel whenever I Replace. The Brushes Preset Manager is populated with identical brushes as the Brush Presets Panel. What determines the additional brushes that appear in the Brush Panel?
I have CS5. The bugs and broken features in AICS6, make it unusable in my workflow.
I am specifically concerned about the inability to drag global color swatches from the color panel to Gradient stops in the Gradient Panel. I use this method to update a gradient color because I find it MUCH faster than option-dragging to duplicate a stop color, then deleting the unused stop. Since I do this constantly, I find using CS6 very tedious.
Having problems resizing images for a website template. Images must be 1275x650. I'm in Cs5. Is there some trick to cropping the image to fit the size without distorting the image.
In cs5 the masks panel was introduced to encourage the use of non-destructive lyre masks. It was a handy place to view all masks andcrevisitvforvrevision of refine mask command. It appears to be totally gone.
give me the correct commands to use on a mac to merge all underlying layers to one layer at the top of the layers panel list. I know it in a mac but not on a mac as I just recently switched over.
I am a Creative Cloud member. After installing the last update, my extension panel is not showing the icons associated for some of my extensions. For example: I have Russell Brown's extensions: - Adobe Edit in ACR and Flypaper Pro, which is supposed to show a colored icon with the letters ACR and the other a colored icon with a picture of a fly. Now for these extensions, it shows a pictures of LEGOs - I guess that's Adobe's icon for a plug-in. All of these extensions are showing in: Window>Extensions. What's going on? This is what I see in my extension panel:
When I get to the character panel I cannot enter numeric values using the numeric keypad. I'm using CS6 (13.0.1.1) under Windows 7. How to report a bug.
I've been given a rather large jpg file containing a client's logo. The dimensions are huge - 6299 x 1890. I need to resize the image without losing clarity. What steps must I take to do this? Is Photoshop the best place to handle this task, or is Illustrator a better fit?
I was working in Photoshop CS5 creating a flyer when suddenly I wasn't able to resize any images. I was adding images into the flyer fine for a while, but then when I clicked on an image to resize it there were no handles and I couldn't resize. I've closed the program & restarted, closed the file & re-opened but nothing works.
I have signed up for Adobe CC and now have Photoshop CS 6 for the Mac installed and running.When I come to use the image resize feature, I am still getting the same box as I had in CS5 instead of the new much improved feature.
I've had to resample images up a bit on occasion for use at larger sizes (i.e. placement in Illustartor or INDesign at a larger size) and have done that with good results. However, I have a different situation now.
I have an image that is 300 dpi. I am working on a huge display in InDesign, and I've had to place this image at 392%, which gives me an effective dpi of 76.
The display company I'm working with wants the image placed at 100%, but needs only 100 effective dpi due to the nature of their technology.
So I think what I need to do is both:
- reSIZE the image to 392% AND - reSAMPLE the image to be 100 dpi.
I believe this will have to be a two-step process using the Image Size palette. My question is, in what order do I take these two steps and what settings do I use in the Image SIze palette to get the best results?
I'm using OSX 10.8.2 and Photoshop CS6, with an intuos 4, and 10 minutes ago the function CTRL+ALT+left or right on my intuos was visually changing the size of my brush, and now, when I use the same combination, it just drags my photoshop window and move it from left to right...!
I can't remember changing anything in the options of my intuos or Photoshop, and make the settings back to defaults doesn't change my problem.
So when I unlug my MacBook Pro from my Cinema Display, the bottom of the app chrome (application frame and palettes) on the MacBook's display cannot be adjusted. At all. Impossible to grab them with the mouse and readjust for the new screen.
I've tried restarting Photoshop CC. Restarting my Mac. Nothing. Wouldn't there be an option to resize to the current display? Shouldn't this be automatic?
The only thing that seems to work is turning off the Application Frame, and using PS in this mode.
Im doing a picture project, where I need to have many layers..
But just how exactly do I resize an image in a layer? If I go Image > Resize Image...the whole image collection of all layers gets bigger...and I only want that specific layer image to get bigger...
I had to scan and resize. Original, physical picture is 1 1/4in X 2in. Scanned image requirements: resolution of at least 150 dpi, 600 X 600 pixels, 24 bit color, and keep it under 240 KB. I have basic Canon scanner and CS2....
Okay so I am able to create these really great looking icons, and I usually create them at 160h x 480w.
Now what I want to do is shrink them down to actual icon size like 16x48. But the thing is they look like crap when I shrink them down.
First and foremost I am a programmer not a designer. But does anyone know any tutorials on how to make small *crisp* icons? I just dont understand how to make small icons that look decent.
I am very framiliar with photoshop (several years worth) Not so much illustrator.... but this small sized image issue is giving me a real headache any suggestions?
I need to take around 100 different photos every day and resize them to 7 different sizes in 7 different folders.
Can I automate this process so I place the 100 originals in one folder, open photoshop, run a proceess that will cut all 7 sizes and place the new sizes in the correct folders, all in one action?
I'm currently having problems with the batch feature regarding pdf files which I can't figure out. My main task is to automatically resize several (50+) pdf files in a folder, save them for web as jpg and then close the original file without saving it. I've tried to make an action for this, but I only end up getting errors or Photoshop trying to overwrite the same file all the time when saving the images. I did manage to make a successful action which worked as batch if I had all the files open in Photoshop, but that's not really what I'm after since I then have to open all the 50+ files first manually. What I would want is for Photoshop to go through all the pdf files in my source folder - resize them - save for web - close original image wihtout saving. I'm currently using Photoshop CS2 if that's any help. Is there anyone who can help? A step-by-step solution would be greatly appreciated!
