The problem with the ruler tool is that when I select another tool the former DOES not stay visible. something I need.
Â
For example, I make a measurement with the ruler tool, then select the move tool and the mesurement made dissapears from the document
I would like to have an untabbed reference window stay visible when I switch to other screen modes.

How do I get the ruler tool?
I use the ruler tool a lot and hate the way it keeps reverting to the eye-dropper tool in the toolbar all the time! Is there a way to stop this from happening? If you use the ruler tool, then some other tools all seems okay until you save the image - at that point the ruler is replaced with the default eye-dropper tool. Therefore if you want to use it again you have to select it again which is a pain. Most tools seem to stay as they are when saving except the ruler. This was the same in CS3 by the way. I was hoping this might have been fixed in CS4. I'm using CS4ext in Vista Business.

But it acts like a pen tool you click one place and then anther and tells you distance in pixels....?
Maybe it was only in CS....
I got 7.0....?
I need to show specific ratios on the image, e.g., this distance is to this as that is to that. A measuring tool that works in pixels is pretty cumbersome. IS it possible to re-calibrate the ruler tool to measure in millimeters, centimeters, etc.? Pixels don't really make it for me. It seems like an obvious choice, but I can't figure out how to do it.

How can I bring up this tool to select it with one fast click - instead of long clicking at the eyedropper to wait the popping up the (sub)tools.
The shortcut "I" only selects the first of the tools.
Re CS5 Ruler tool has stopped functioning. How can I correct this problem?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI like the features built into the crop tool since CS6, but I have one major issue which I can’t seem to find any comment or resolution on. Basically, if I rotate an image using the crop tool, I find horizontal and vertical lines tend to be jagged, as if very rough anti-aliasing had been applied.
Â
If I rotate the same image using the ruler tool, vertical and horizontal lines appear smooth and correct. They actually appear straight, not jagged.The result is I have to leave the crop tool, jump into the ruler tool, make my rotation (which is nearly always bringing a vertical or horizontal back to true), then back to the crop tool.
Â
 It first appeared in CS6, and now I’m using CC it’s just the same. Is there a fix, am I doing something wrong?
When I am trying to straighten an image with the ruler tool, I keep receiving the following error:
Â
Error 8800: General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop.
- The command "Set" is not currently available.Line: 254->Â app.activeDocument.activeLayer.isBackgroundLayer = false;
Â
I don't understand why this isn't working because I have used this feature before.
One of my students was using the Ruler tool to straighten an image. Her image kept flipping way off the canvas to one side, even though we checked to make sure her reference point for rotation was in the middle of the image (it was).

I can't duplicate the mistake or find any other complaints about/reference to it .
I have created a custom measurement tool to measure distances (captured from sattelite imagery, and using the distance key as the guide) and it works great. However, I would like to be able to use the same tool to measure curves/radiuses. Say for instance a mountain road. I know the scale of the photo, and can measure any straight (line) angle, but can I do the same for a curve or radius using the same scale?

I have changed primary and secondary colors to make sure regardless of whether I'm left or right clicking the line will stand out against white background. I have increased width to six pixels to make sure it will be nice and thick and visible. I do get the four little box thingies when I release the cursor, and I can then go in and manipulate them. But no matter what I try I cannot SEE a line.

When using the LR5 spot removal tool I can perform cloning or healing and LR automatically selects the target used to clone from, but I cannot see where this area is on the image. A pin should appear with a line connecting the area to be removed and the target area used to clone from. I see no pin. Is this controled by a setting?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI frequently use a flatbed scanner to capture images of them. I normally import the scan into Photoshop and tweak it before saving.
I'd like to also be able to easily put a ruler in the scanned image to show the size of the item scanned. A layer that was transparent except for a ruler that ran along the sides and top of the image would be perfect. Can I create such an image and then paste it on top of each scanned image?
Is there an easier way to do what I want to do? Maybe something already in Photoshop, or some kind of plug-in?

I need to make a ruler in 1/32nd increments 4 inches high and 1/2 inch wide, I've tried going for help in other places but I'm such a newb to PS that I can't get it to come out right. specifically I asked for help here but they don't seem a very friendly place for newbs. Some of you guys can probably whip this up really quickly, would you mind emailing me the PSD file at gjowen@knology.net, can you put a black rectangular border around the ruler so I will be able to cut it out easier?
View 3 Replies View RelatedSomething that has always bothered me since Photoshop's beginnings was that in high resolution files, at extreme screen magnifications, you can't measure using the rulers easily. In other programs, as you magnify the image on the screen, the ruler marks will keep reading their measurements. In Photoshop, you only get the full inch readings, not fractions of the inch. So if I want to draw a guide at 1/16" or find something at 1/16" in Photoshop, all I see is:
You have to shrink the image back down to find the 1" line and then zoom back and count the fractions to find the one you are looking for. I know you can use the ruler tool, but let's say you want to paint, or select starting at 1/16". Using the ruler tool becomes problematic, when all you want to do is see where 1/16" is on the screen.
When I have rulers placed in certain areas in my drawing and the brush tool touches them, it makes unwanted straight lines instead.Â
