Photoshop :: Adding NL Changes Area Behind Canvas?
May 1, 2013
OS: Win 8 Ps: Cs6
I activated Photoshop on my new laptop and set my Preferences the way I like them and then I made a New Document and added a New Layer but when I clicked the New Layer Icon at the bottom of the Layers panel the area behind the canvas turned from a dark grey to transparent and then when I tried to draw a Rectangle shape the entire document became black and when I clicked the New Layer Icon again the black went away and the shape appeared and at the same time the area behind the canvas rotated through the dark grey, black and transparency again ...
to clarify ... at first the area behind the canvas went to transparent from a dark grey but under other circumstances like using the paintbrush, drawing shapes etc. the area behind the canvas will first be dark grey, then black and then transparent.
I tried resetting the Preferences by Alt + Ctrl + Shift at lauch of Ps but this didn't work at all.
The nice man at Adobe did something with my files and when done he placed a Prefs Icon on my desktop.
I wondering if maybe I ought to deactivate and reactivate or just out and out uninstall and reinstall.
When I expand a selection or move and image/object around then deselect the edges/parts that end up falling outside of the canvas area get deleted. How do I stop this? When I go move the layer around or resize it I can't because what ever parts landed outside of the canvas area have been deleted. This is on Photoshop CS6, I never had this problem with CS5.
basically i have the need to create a wallpaper, i haven't done one in some time, not a decent one anyway. and I'm having some slight trouble.
I Have this image so far:
and i need the background area behind the soldiers to span across the whole canvas, creating a gradient and adding the smoke in will take ages and it probably wont look as good as hoped. my clone brush tool doesn't work because of a thing ubuntu has with the alt key, it stops me defining a source point the healing brush gets nowhere but where the Pixels are already not beyond.
I'm currently contemplating grabbing the end witht the select, duplicating it and blurring it, whether or not it looks daft is another matter.
I want to change the canvas size, though why is it that when I press the down arrow it adds to the canvas on top, and when I press the up arrow it adds to the canvas on the bottom? It just seems like it should be the other way around.
Photoshop generator nice to have features for future roll-out would be: Check box or similar for transparent PSD file to generate the whole canvas area, not just the image area.The ability to generate to a specific folder, including on a networked drive within a shared environment.Ability to generate to no folder at all, place in the same location that the PSD file is located Ability to generate an animated GIF.
is there some easy way to hide the scratch area or canvas (like everything outside the normal page) while still working on the image? or maybe alternatively is there some way to have a permanent preview window with the scratch area hidden like in photoshop
After creating a color range channel, broadly, I used the quick mask tool and was working on tightening up on the details. Reloading the selection showed the marching ants around the updated area, however the red mask still showed the original area, not the newly updated area.
Is it possible to update the masked area w/ the red painted area as well as the marching ants?
I've increased the canvas size on an animated gif that I found and it's transparent. I can't work out how to have this new area as something I can put text on with a black background colour.
I have a skull on layer skull and bones on layer bones which is set to display under layer skull. I want to add a layer mask and paintbrush out the bones that are inside the skull area.
I'm working on a flyer on a 8x11 canvas, but I want all of the elements I'm working to be transferred to a NTSC video film format. I understand how to a open a NTSC (Video Film Canvas), but I do not understand how to convert a canvas that I'm working to that.
I just got CS5.1 at my job. This must be a preference, but when I adjust the Canvas size, it will constrain the image, rather than cropping the canvas. The Anchor in the Canvas Size menu appears outlined (highlighted?) which indicates that this is something in preferences that I can adjust.
I've recently migrated from AutoCAD 2008 (non-industry specific) to AutoCAD 2010 so I don't know if this was an issue in 2009.
Back in 2008, when I choose the 'window' option when specifying a plot area, AutoCAD would show the workspace so that I could manually select a windowed plot area, and at the same time the whole workspace would be greyed out except the previously active window area.
This was handy, because we can have as many two dozen title-blocks (and therefore separate viewports) in paperspace, and knowing what plot area I last plotted or added as a saved page setup.
In 2010, it no longer does that. I now have to rely on the dashed border to know where the active plot area is/was (checked 'display printable area' in options>display tab) which I personally don't really like using.
How to changes the settings for the "Square Area" in mapcheck's closure summary. When I right-click the dwg name in the Settings tab of Toolspace and choose Edit Drawing Settings, then Ambient Settings, I see the Area settings, but in the closure summary, there is also "Square Area". Why are these both there? It WOULD be nice to show sq. ft. as well as acres, but I can't find anywhere to edit it.

I want to know if there is an easier ACAD solution for drawing. In the given triangle of ABC (sides and angels are known) I want to draw line CM so that the area of BCM becomes 2000 cm (are of ABC is 5311.7 cm3).
Is there an easy ACAD way for drawing this line without using trigonometry for calculation?
I need to determine whether an area intersects with another area.The left case can be easily determined by Polyline.IntersectWith(Polyline...).But in the right case, the two polygons intersect/overlap each other while polylines do not intersect.
What would be the efficient way to determine the right case polygons are intersecting polygons?
After selecting the area type tool, I try to click and drag but I get an error message: You must click on a non-compound, non-masking path to create text inside a path. This worked before but I must have screwed something up.

How can i use subtract area command in area command while using add command , often it happens we click on polyline whose area we did not want to consider. How can i do like this, i re click on that enclosed polyline and the area gets subtracted and the green fill goes away?
I have been running into an issue whenever I try to open up Photo Shop CS5 on my Mac. While trying to open up a document, whether it be a brand new one or opening up a previous file, the canvas is missing.
On the side in my workspace all the layers and options are visible but there is no image to be found. I have searched online and found that holding: "command+option+shift" will reset the preferences and that usually does the trick. Problem is that after I quite out of PS and reopen it, I run into the same problem.
I clicked something by accident in CS4 and now the canvas stretches all the way to the right, with a couple of panels floating over the upper right part of the expanded canvas, with right scroll bar obscured by those floating panels. I want it back to what I believe is default, with the panels in their own static section on the right, separate from the canvas.Where is "reset" or something else to restore?
I'm using CS6 and have everything running as usual. I make a new file, normal size of my art and everything, but the canvas (background) does not show up.
I also have navigator open since I use full screen. So as I draw strokes, I see them appearing in the navigator, but I cannot see the canvas. All I see is the color of grey. Although the canvas is certainly there, since I can make visible strokes, it seems as if it were transparent, except I hadn't done anything with the image to start.
I just cut an object out of a picture and copied it to a new canvas. The object was not rectangular so I had some canvas showing. I'm not even sure how I did it, but I was able to find the command to turn the canvas clear, which is what I wanted. After I saved and exited, I placed that file into an InDesign document but the canvas was showing up white, not clear.
I'll place a large image on a small canvas and start erasing the background, then if I move it, I see parts of the background outside of the canvas. Is there a quick and easy way to delete parts of the image that fall outside of the canvas?
