I mean any shape outline when using things like brush, blur, erase. If the cursor size is very small, say less that 60 pixels, the whole shape is visible. Let's just say it's a circle, if it get's any bigger it starts to disappear as the size goes up. All that will be left is a small line showing the very top left of the circle.
This is a nuisance, especially for custom brushes where I can't see where the brush will be placed.
In 2008, never had this issue.Just dumb, circles, and lines in a view port, that have hidden or center linetyoes assigned to them. When we go to plot using legacy hidden (this new for 2012?) the plot comes out with continuous lines. These are not solids. Just ordinary line entities.Now, when I change the shadeplot to "hidden" the linetype is shown correctly, but now my entities are coloured, when I just want my drawing to be black and white (going to PDF), even though all of the colours in the pen style are set to "Black".
Has this changed? Is there a new variable introduced?
I'm drawing objects (walls, platforms, etc.) in 3d made up primarily of extruded polygons. I want to be able to plot these objects in a way that hides all of the lines which are obscured by other objects. Currently I have my viewports set up with a 2D Wireframe visual style and a Hidden shade plot. This isn't working for me. I'm still getting all of the lines in the drawing visible no matter what.
Here's the strange thing: It seems to work perfectly fine in plan view, but not in front view. Also, it's worked fine in the past. It seems that the problem has gotten progressively worse over the past year or so.
My cursor appears and disappears while in GIMP as I move the cursor over the canvas. I can make the cursor appear but only if there is no movement of the cursor. It makes no difference which tool I select, the size of the canvas, or the level of zoom.
Please note that this only occurs in Gimp, and none of my other applications. It started when I upgraded from openSUSE 12.1 to 12.2. I'm assuming that it has something to do with my input device configuration, but I could be totally wrong.
I have a total of 3 input devices - Core Pointer, Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse, and Virtual Core XTEST Pointer. Both the Optical Mouse and XTEST Pointer are DISABLED. Core Pointer is the only one enabled. Enabling Optical Mouse and XTEST Pointer give me other problems in Gimp and need to remain disabled.
For the Core Pointer, Mode is set to SCREEN, a message says that 'The axis X has no curve', and the following Axis Settings: X 1 Y 2 Pressure none xtilt none ytilt none wheel none
In Gimp Preferences->Input Controllers, there are three active controllers - Mouse Buttons, Main Mouse Wheel, and Main Keyboard.
I've seen it before but do not have an image at the moment to link to so I will try to explain it best as possible. What I want to do is take an image, then overlay another image on it that should only be really visable if you highlight the image (with both layers in it) and maybe tilt your monitor.
I have somehow accidently hidden the close, minimize and expand circles in Photoshop CS6 on a mac and now every time I want to minimize photoshop I have to go into window > arrange > minimize instead of just clicking the circle.
I have tried the tab key, the 'F' key, view > screen mode and window > arrange and none of them have worked and I cant find anything online.
Running Photoshop CS6 Normal edition (not extended)...
Was running through my preferences and for the first time I cycled through the options using the "Next Key" and found I had a preference panel that had no field descriptor on the left and looks to be for 3D rendering.
Not sure if this applied to my version of Photoshop, if it does, why no descriptor and if it does not why would it be there? The Help file suggests this is for the Extended version of Photoshop.
For some reason now, when I select a tool with hidden tools under them, they display the hidden tools in a pop up next to the selected tool. This is very frustrating and causes me to lose a lot of valuable time with extra clicking. Does any one know how to reset this particular feature?
anyway to tell photoshop CS to quit showing me all of the hidden tools every time I choose a tool. I'm not an idiot, Photoshop...when I want the paint brush, I don't want to choose between the paint brush and the pencil! What kind of a 'feature' is that?
Comp. crashed.I've loaded all my photos and PSE 7 onto the new HD but find the catalog on the old HD. I can bring up PSE from the old drive with all the pics and tags showing, but can not find the catalog to move it to the new computer's HD. I've been trying for days with no luck.
It appears that Photoshop on an osx machine is also creating a ._Pictures Name.jpg file for each jpg in the same folder as the jpg. Is that a Photoshop or osx thing? is there a way to prevent all those extra files from being created?
We put the folders of jpg's on the windows server, then have to go through and manually kill all those ._files before we can use the folder.
When I open this image in Photoshop the alpha channel / transparency hides the colour pixels underneath.
[URL]....
In Photoline I can create a simple layer mask based on alpha (without creating a selection first), and then turn the layer mask off to reveal the "hidden" image. Or I paint with the brush and only affect the alpha.
In Photoshop I cannot seem to access that information. Nor can I paint or erase the transparency only. To me it seems as if Photoshop treats this transparency as something other than an alpha channel. The channel palette only shows the transparency.
how to convert that transparency to a layer mask, and retain the coloured pixel information? How do I access/reveal the "hidden" image?
I can no longer find my Marquee Tool. In place of it there is now a button or icon labeled as "Go to Adobe Online" I don't recall seeing this button ever before. Someone else was using my computer last week, so I'm guessing that they somehow caused this change. Does anyone know how to bring back the Marquee Tool? I find it far more accurate for cropping than the "Cropping Tool"
I am using Elements 11 on an iMAc, the top of the organizer panel is hidden under the task bar - so I can't access it. The usual clicks and key strokes won't work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled - still doesn't work. This doesn't happen with with he editor screen. How to proceed?
A friend just called and said that she had done something in Photoshop Elements 5.5 that turned on hidden charaters when she uses the type tool. She's seeing the Pargraph symbol etc. and wants to turn it off.
I've looked and looked for somehing that has a shorcut key or a way to turn it on and off but I can't find anything.
The bottom of the Layers Panel is hidden when my secondary monitor is on. I opened Systems Preferences > Display and adjusted scanning slider but I still can't make the PS screen smaller. What else can I do?
I use auto-select primarily when designing. I will often clicking and dragging a marquee box to select multiple objects. I immediately noticed that it is now selecting hidden layers as well, where it didn't before.
Is there a setting or way to change this? I am assuming as of now that this is a new change. They will still select even if the layers are locked so locking groups is not a solution for this.
It appears when I copy a folder of photos up to a server, it's also copying some hidden files that nobody can do anything with, causing problems. For instance, say my folder name is Photos, I just drag and drop the entire Photos folder onto the server. But if inside Photos i have a dog.jpg and cat.jpg file, there are also hidden files names ._dog.jpg and ._cat.jpg. it's those two hidden files that are causing problems when people go to work with that folder.is it something in OSX I need to change?
I tried removing the quick mask in the channel side bar and also uncheck "edit in quick mask mode" but I still cannot stop the pop up saying "Could not use move tool because the target channel is hidden". I cannot draw any objects or move them. What should I do?
Hidden Channels. I've got starting working on personal project. During working I have not done nothing with channels layer. In certain moment I cannot move with elements, or changing style options.
Error message came in: "could not use move tool because the target channel is hidden".
I accidentally hide that bar at top of screen that lets me hide/close multiple documents... I pressed something, but I don't know what - it's tough to hide PS now (Version CS6)
I have a Photoshop document made by someone else that I am opening. There are 5 layers. 3 are hidden. When I hide all the layers, the image still appears on screen.
In the layers palette I see Unify: with 3 icons to click on and Propogate Frame 1 is checked. I don't believe I have ever seen this before in the layers pallete. Below I have an image of what is going on. Not sure if there is a way to set up a file like this when starting a new document or what, but this is what's happening; all layers hidden, but image appears.
For example: when you use a brush set to 40% opacity on a new layer or when you apply a mask to a layer you get semi transparent pixels. However PS doesn't show a channel that represents that transparency but I know it has to do this somehow internally. That layer isn't just RGB: it's RGB plus something that stores the transparency.Is there any way to make this transparency channel visible/editable?
Luckily my recently deceased MacBookPro (2008) was fully backed-up on "TimeMachine".Yesterday I purchased a new machine, with OSX 7 pre-installed, and used "Migration Assistant" to transfer my "Time Machine" saved data to this new machine.
Unfortunately there is just one glich.
Glitch: Error 150:30 All previous moves negated!
My reasearch indicates that there may be a problem caused by not de-authorizing PS4 on my suddenly-dead machine. (What part of dead do I need to explain?) Result : Dead end.
Now I went searching for some "Flex..." file in the startup disk's hidden Library. Unfortunately, it did not show up during my search.Should I attempt to re-download the software—PS4—from the Adobe site using the link in my original Adobe "receipt of purchase" confirmation? (Location: my online account information with Adobe.)
