I'm trying to set the scale of my picture in CS6 but everytime I got to analysis -- set measurement scale I can't select it! I need it to make scale bars on my fluorescent pics so I can finish my thesis. I have CS6 (64x) from creative suite 6 design standard that I got from my school. The picture is .tiff file 24 bit

When It Comes to Step 4, Filter > Distort is Unselectable.
I don't get it: my old CS2 has PS with texture filter that actually is there, while my PS5 app shows an unselectable "texture" in filters. WHAT IS WITH THAT? I feel ripped - off now that I need to use it in this project.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop CC and reinstalled the plugins and I still have the same issue. No error messages, it's just not selectable.
After recent update (CC) the feature which was allowing the invisible layers (turned off by "eye" icon) to be not selectable by Move Tool is gone. So when one have a web page design with 300 layers and 3 states in groups and you decide to deactive some of them (make them invisible) you can still select them. So overall it makes imposible to selecet anything. You must do it manualy on the Layers pannel.
Â
See image below - so instead of selecting only visible layers (like in previous versions) now onet is forced to select every possible layers so in most cases all present layers in the file.
I am not new in Photoshop but I never had to do this before and it seams to be less straight forward than I expected.
I have a PSD file containing some graphics and some text. I want to export it in PDF and I want that the text in the PDF can be selectable for an easy copy and paste. Is that possible? All the PDFs I can save contain text as imagine and not as selectable text. How to solve this?
Â
I am using Photoshop CS6 for OSX.
I'm having two related issues. Currently running CS4 on OSX.
Â
1. I've exported my project as a pdf. Some of the text is not selectable at all. That is, the cursor won't even highlight the text in the pdf file.
Â
2. Some of the text that is selectable when copied and pasted to another document gives me all sorts of crazy looking characters (none of which I recognize.
I can't believe this is still an issue in CS6. When you have multiple text layers stacked near or in between each other, its impossible to lock the layer so that it can no longer be selected. Even if the layer is locked, the TYPE tool is still able to select it. This makes its a super pain in the tail to edit text near each other. Is there a way to make the text layers lock and NOT be selectable?
Â
Instead of locking a layer and not being able to select it with the type tool, a pop-up telling us that its locked come up?
I am trying to import into photoshop but the export/import options on the drop down menu arent selectable.

When I want to cut an item out of an image, I create a mask on the image's layer and paint out everything except the item I want to keep. Something has changed and I can no longer select that remaining item in the layer after I've applied the layer mask and essentially painted out everything else.
Â
For instance if I wanted an apple cut out of a tree, I would paint everything in black except that apple, which remains white in the mask. After applying the mask to the layer, I should be able to click in the empty space around the apple wtih my magic wand tool and have it make a perfect selection around that apple, yet the magic wand tool is still picking up the leaves, branches, etc. Even though I've painted them out and applied the mask, essentially deleting them, and all I can see is the grey and white checkerboard grid behind the apple.
This is Photoshop CS6 and it was working fine before. Did I change something without realizing it?
In some of the Photoshop "Extended" versions, there was a function in which one could apply a known measurment to an image and then determine other dimensions in the image. For example, if one were designing a sign for a building and shot a picture of the building with a known 5' doorway, one could use the measure tool (or whatever it was called in that function) to tell Photoshop that the doorway was 5'-0" wide.
From there, after you laid in the sign design, and used the measure tool on the sign image, Photoshop would tell you the dimensions of the sign based on the scale you set with the doorway. Now for the big question: One, does that function still exist, and two, if so, where do you find it?
I'm recording measurements (gray value) in a selection, using the "record measurement" in the measurement log panel. I need to repeat this over thousands of images. I've written an action that opens the images one by one (batch process), records the measurement and closes them.
However, after exactly 700 measurements, Photoshop stops and says that it cannot record this measurement. I've tried this with CS4 and CS5 (extended) as well, and I get the same result. why Photoshop measurement log has this "700 entry" limit?
when i make a new image how many pixels/inch must i use for the measurments to be exact?
The reason I ask is because i have to crop a picture to an exact size for use as a pasport picture.
the picture is 1.7 in. X 2.13 in. but when i place it in a new 4X6 it takes up nearly the whole document

I am using CS4 Extended on Windows 8.
way to quantitatively measure the level of light intensity in different conditions. I know there are light intensity gauges that measure lumens and fc's but I was wondering if there is a way to measure the brightness of an image using photoshop?
So far I have noticed that there is a way to change basically everything about an image but I haven't found anything that gives me information about the picture itself besides its size and resolution.
Does anybody know how to measure light intensity or brightness of an image?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI was under the impression that the rulers across the top and bottom of the canvas were measuring the length and width of the window at the given resolution.
However, this can't be the case, because I notice that when I crop a photo down from a width of 70 to a width of 20 on the ruler, when the crop finishes, the width of the canvas is back to looking like 70, so the ruler is not absolute, but some kind of relative measure? And is there a way to get an absolute ruler either of any unit?
 In CS6 how do you disable or turn off the "measurement/info" fly out box, for example I am using the line tool to clean up a graphic, however at the point of my curser, the info panel is in the way and I cant see what I am tyring to erase.

Why the measurement on the paper and the document size in Photoshop are not the same?
I can not get the ruler to display - and yes I know how to turn it on and to change the unit of measurement. Also the options for setting the diameter of the clone stamp is no where to be found. BTW, I'm using the expert mode and even tried the other modes, still no dice. There does seem to be some change in the margin border when I attempt to display the ruler (just gets slightly wider, but no ruler). Perhaps there is a a button some where to make all the adjustments visible like I am used to seeing in previous versions.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use the Image Analysis functionality of PS CS6 to obtain brightness levels from an image.
Â
To test the "Gray Value" measurment, I've created 11 patches from 0%-100% in 10% increments. I used the fill tool (Shift-F5) and specified values using H=0, S=0, B=<percentage_value (0-100)>.
Â
The respective RGB components of the generated patches are exactly as expected (255*percentage_value).
Â
The measurements obtained through "Record Measurement", however, do not agree, with the exception of the 0% and 100% extremes, which are reported with 0 and 255, respectively.
Â
Inbetween, there is disagreement which rises from 0 @ 0% to the highest (5 @ 50%) to then decrease again to 0 @ 100%.
Â
Here is the series by which the reported Gray Values are too low (from 0% - 100%): 0, 3, 3, 4 4, 5, 3, 3, 2, 1, 0.
Â
How come?
Â
I've tried removing colour profiles (to exclude gamma encoding issues) and using different colour spaces and/or models, with no change in behaviour.
Â
All my patches are pure gray so there shouldn't be any problem with unexpected colour weighting.
Â
One funny observation I've made is that even though the patches are a 100% homogenous, PS reports different miminum and maximum values. For instance for the 50% brightness patch (RGB triples of 128, 128, 128), the report is MinVal=123, MaxVal=124, MeanVal=123.934809.
Â
Clearly, the value for all three aspects should be the same, and I expect the value to be 128.

I have an imported svg file that I've saved to Illustrator 17.1. I can't seem to change the layer colors (they're all the same light blue) - the only options that come up in the Layer Options dialog are checkboxes for Lock and Show. Oddly, duplicating a layer seems to give the new layer a different color, but again I can't set the color of that layer myself.
Â
Really want to be able to do this, as I use layer colors to track their status (red = not even close to done, yellow = in progress, green = done in MY eyes, blue = done in the CUSTOMER's eyes).
