Does anyone know how to select part of a pixel image and transform not only the Background Layer but also its adjustment layers at the same time? When you Shift-click the layers together, the transform box doesnt encase the selected part any longer but rather it encases the entire image.
View 2 RepliesI recently started having this problem in Photoshop CS6 where using the transform or selection tools makes all the layers other than my background layer disappear so I can't see what I'm selection or transforming. This happens randomly out of nowhere. I can be using those tools all day with no problem, and then out of nowhere it starts making things invisible.
There doesn't seem to be any other programs running that would cause it (not that that should be an issue, my computer could easily run all my Adobe programs at once if I wanted it to), and the only thing that seems to fix it so far is restarting Photoshop. But that gets old really fast when I have to do it over and over again. I tried calling Adobe, but somehow they're always closed, even during their supposed hours of operation.
I am using Adobe Photoshop CS6, latest version as of 05/25/12.I have 19 layers, each has a 1200x1200px texture. These are of course overlapped, so setting them all to visible will only show the top layer.
All layers are rasterized, and contain 1200x1200px:
1) I select all 19 layers using shift+click, all are highlighted (in the layer pane).
2) I select a region using the selection tool, in this case a rectangular region that is 172px high and 35px wide.
3) I right click the selection, and then select: layer via copy. (Note, Layer via cut is disabled for some reason)
4) *problem* It creates 19 new layers with the full image from the selected layers and not the selection which is what I wanted to place in the new layers.
5) *problem* when I right click the selection and select "Free Transform", the transform box surrounds the entire canvas and not the selection.
6) *problem* when I skew, it skews the entire image and not just the selection.
7) *problem* Previously, I have been able to select a layer from the layer pane, go to image menu, select adjustments, brightness/contrast, and adjust the brightness/contrast for just that layer. Now it wont let me.
8) *related problem* If I have 3 layers (background, 1, and 2) on a 1200x1200 canvas, with the image in layer 1 being 150px, and the image in layer 2 being 150x, each rasterized, and then stack the images on 1 and 2 over eachother, then select both layers, then select a region inside the stacked images, then select free transform, the free transform selection embodies all pixels inside the canvas (not the entire canvas this time) and performs the transform on these pixels and not the original selection.
If I do it making all the layers visible as well as selected, it behaves the same.What appears to be happening is Photoshop is ignoring the selection and for some reason is using a pixel region (or if pixels cover the entire canvas, the whole image) when performing actions intended for the selection.
What's strange is when I made these textures, I started out with 19 150x150 pictures, I set the canvas size to 1200x1200, selected all the layers in the layer pane, selected the 150x150 image in the middle, and was able to move all 19 textures to the top right corner, able to switch to transform on all 19 pictures, able to rotate 180 degrees all 19 pictures, was able to flip horizontal all 19 pictures, then able to copy all 19 pictures to new layers, move the 19 pictures all at the same time to the right 150 pixels, rinse and repeat, to eventually come out with 19 1200x1200 textures tiled from the 150px pictures. In other words, I did exactly what I am attempting to do with the 1200x1200 pictures with the 150x150 pixtures and it worked like a champ.
The end goal of course is to take a selection of all 19 of the 1200x1200 pictures, transform, then skew that image to make a collage of images applied to an added background. Performing this on all 19 textures and getting the same exact skew, etc would take days considering I need to do about 15 of different portions of the tile.
If one can select multiple layers to modify i.e. scale, rotate, transform... or is it only possible one layer at a time?

Problem: Transform applied to Smart Object fails to transform an attached Smart Filters Mask.
I mean a Transform, including Free Transform, as found in the Edit menu. A simple move by the Move Tool is OK.
A workaround until this bug is squashed is to encapsulate the Smart Object + Smart Filters + Filter Mask inside another Smart Object and transform that.However, that will not be a satisfactory solution in some cases. If a filter has size parameter(s), e.g. Gaussian Blur radius, a scaling or warping/distorting transform applied after the filter will obviously differ from the filter applied after the transform.
In any case, the workaround is inconvenient to subsequent editing and experimenting with filters and masks.
I'm need to get the stripes to bend like in the photo. I tried it once with skew transformation, using it couple of times, step by step, but it did not look that smooth.
So is there a way I can do it? I have no clue how, if at all, it can be done.
Currently testing Photoshop CS (for MacOSX) and i've knowticed that the 3D transform filter has been removed. Does anyone have any clue where i can get it from; other than the CD.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI draw a rectangle and I want to change its shape. How do I go about doing that? I have selected the Direct Selection tool and clicked on the outlines of the shape (the path?) and this brings up 4 squares on each corner (handles?) and when I click and drag I am able to pull the line/path out, up, down etc.However, I would like to be able to move the lines in a curve. I am looking to bring up the line with the round handles ~ like when the Pen tool is used.
I did it once by mistake but now I can't figure out what I did. I thought maybe that I had used Ctrl + click on the shape or path but that doesn't seem to be it.I also tried going to the Pen tool to manipulate the path the way I want but that just either added or took away a handle ~ which is okay and great and all but not for what I am trying to accomplish.
I've recently started using Photoshop CS5. For some reason when I select a path and hit command T to transform it, it doesn't work. The transform ignores that I have the path selected and trys to transform whichever layer is active.

Im having a rather annoying problem with transform again, I'm trying to create a cylinder effect from a circle, I duplicate the layer select free transform and nudge it over 1 pixel then click (shift alt command T) to repeat the transformation, it seems to work ok when I nudge to the right but when I nudge to the left, the left hand edge of the duplicated circles is cut off along the line of the original transform controls as if there is an invisible clipping mask, but there are no masks in the document, quitting photoshop and restarting and reopening the document doesn't solve the problem.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAll aspects of transform are lagging under Windows 8.1, including rotate, free transform and warp. This is different from Windows 8.0, where Transform was working fine. On a 360 degree image rotation using transform I am getting about 5-6 animation frames (very stuttery and unusable)
Running all latest software and drivers, GPU rotate canvas is working fine and smoothly.
It would be nice to zoom in and out to check a transformation without applying it.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having an issue when trying to use the Free Transform function in Photoshop CS5.1. After pressing command+T, the bounding box appears, but when I attempt to resize, the program becomes unresponsive. After a minute or two I can cancel the Free Transform and the program become responsive once again. Seems to be more of an issue when trying to transform more than one layer at once.
I am on a 1 year old MacBook Pro with 16GB, I have 10 GB of free space. I am on OS X 10.7.5 (recently installed this upgrade and this may be part of the issue.)
I am in 64-bit mode. My memory usage set at 70%. The cache tile size is set to 1024K . I have reset my settings, ran all available updates.
My card specs are:
Video Card Vendor: ATI Technologies Inc.
Video Card Renderer: ATI Radeon HD 6750M OpenGL Engine
After visiting the AMD site, found that they do not have an update for 10.7.5 and do not have the HD6750 listed for Mac.
Edit: Also, cannot move the image once I press command+T. (Or at least it make the program unresponsive for a while)
Update: Uninstalled entire design suite and re-installed. Still having the same issue.

I try to free transform an image whether it be rotating, enlarging, scewing or whatever, after I deselect, photoshop or imageready will automatically try and blur the image around so it seems smoother.
This is fine most of the time, but it produces some transparent pixels, and gifs have problems with these. Is there a way to stop PS and IR from doing this on a free transform so it just leaves the image as it is before deselecting?
my photoshop application disc, or my Illustrator disc will not start when put into my cd, every other disc works and starts just fine, just not my adobe disc,s, all I want to do is get the 3d transform.8bf filter and install it because it does not load autumatically, is there anywhere I can get this filter? using cs on XP
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn both PS6 & PS7 I've always had issues with the Transform property bar. If I scale up, the figures I type in the Width & Height boxes are rarely accurately applied when scaling smaller shapes up a reasonable amount.
The following is an example:
Original path shape size W=37px & H=24px
Change to W=300px & H=222px
Result when applied W=300px & H=230PX
When I click Edit/Free Transform Path, the Transform property bar shows the H=222px I typed, is now 230px.
Sometimes it's just a single pixel out on H or W. If I change it again it will be applied correctly. It seems it cannot accurately jump by too much in one go. Constraining doesn't help either...Strange.
Just wondered if it's my system, or a common fault with PS. You can test this by creating a rectangle under approx 50px X 50px. Then, rescale by typing into the W & H boxes to approx 300px X 300px. Sometimes it's right, sometimes it isn't
i'm trying to make a 3d cube look but when i go to Filter > Render > 3D Transform it's not there.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been experiencing this a lot more lately, and I've yet to find the one discerning aspect of my project that keeps the EDIT > TRANSFORM option from being usable.
Often I'll make a selection with the LASSO or SELECTION tool, it'll be on a layer where the selection encompasses an object (that is not vector), and it's not a selection of the entire canvas (like a CTRL + A). I'll goto EDIT and notice that TRANSFORM is greyed out. The image is in RGB mode, and I'll deselect, make the selection again and STILL not be able to select it.
Are there other things which can prevent that option from being enabled that I'm not thinking of? The layer is not locked and it isn't the background either.
Oh, also, without making a new thread, is it possible to move an anchor while you're drawing with the PEN tool? I thought you could hold SPACEBAR to move it before you released the mouse click, but I just end up having to use the SUBSELECT tool to move the anchors after it's drawn.
