im having problems when im trying to lasso something using the CTRL+cursor. It wont go left, so whenever i try to lasso something i have to go from left to right only, and if i move to to far it wont let me go back....
When i click my mouse to draw the cursor moves up and to the left of the position i started which makes any and all editing impossible. Imagine trying to draw a line but the starting point is a half to a full inch up and to the left of where you wanted the line to start. I've tried a clean install even changed my mouse. doesn't do it it drawx4 only photo-paint x4.
I just bought Photoshop CS6 and it seems that it isn't working properly. I run Windows 7. The left click and left alt are not working. The buttons work perfectly on other programs.
I need to mix left to right and right to left (hebrew) text in a textbox. How can I do that? If I copy/paste hebrew text the text is inserted as if it was left to right, that is: reversed. Can I somehow work around that?
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.
How do I use right to left fonts in Photoshop cs6, I have a client ho needs web banner ads in about 22 languages and some will require the head line to be in Hebrew, Arabic, simplified Chinese, Korean and so on. What do I need to make it work?
I'm trying to do some Hebrew & Arabic typing for a client of mine, but haven't got the Mideast version, is there anyway I can do right-to-left typing in Photoshop?...
I've got the trial version of CS 3 10 but when i open it and go to activate later it crashes, ive tried reinstalling/repairing also gone to delete registery etc thus far nothing has worked.
its opens ok until i hit quiet/activate later why wont it just let me finish my days? then it just closes.
In Photoshop CS6 if one wants to use floating document windows (I don't care for tabs) the opened image cannot be moved around the interface. If you drag the image the document window snaps back to where you moved it from plus some amount to the left. Eventually if you keep trying to drag it to a new location it will move all the way to the left side of the screen and will snap back there when you try to move it. I often like to have several images up at once as I do comps and I am very disappointed that such a major interface issue made it through testing un-noticed.
This happens on both my laptop PC and my Desktop. Both Windows 7 64bit pro machines and each have 8G of ram. Desktop has Nvidia graphics and the laptop has Intel graphics. Happens in both 32 and 64 bit versions of windows.
Photoshop has never acted like this before. I opened a file and simply removed the lock on the layer. Then the image is gone and left with a transparent layer.
Then I tried importing video to layers and then this happened.I have restarted my computer , updated photoshop and even updated the operating system.
My dropdown menus work fine but when I scroll down to use an option one thing will go to the left and another thing ( in the same drop down ) to the right. How to make them ALL go in one direction to the right?
I have a tablet and I am trying to change brush size and hardness with the pen but I keep creating new layers. Is there a way to turn this off because I would like it to flow better. With the mouse if I ctrl+alt +left mouse is gives me a new copy of my layer. With the pen I get the pressure/size to come up but it is fickle and mostly just resorts to creating a new layer copy which is what I want to disable so it just does the brush size/hardness option. It seems the left mouse click doesn't display in any keyboard shortcuts.
what are the 2 gray boxes in the upper left corner of my documents? are they new in ps7? one has the number one in it and the other looks like an envelope.
Problem: Whenever I work on a file and try to save it as a psd file i get the following: "Cannot save as "C:lah.psd because the file is already in use or was left open."
Now this happens even if no file is open or I try to save the file with a different name. If i hit Ctrl+S to a psd file, it saves. If I try to save as a jpg file, it saves. But when I try to save as a psd file, then I get the above error message.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I even went back to cs2 but this problem continued to happen in cs2 as well.
I am running Photoshop 6. when i open some files that i have created in the past and make some changes to them, then press the save button. I get an error saying
"The file could not be saved because it is in use or was left open"
Photoshop then forces me to save it as another name.
when i try to delete the original file, I can not delete the file from my windows exploror. When i try to delete the file, it tells me that the file is in use and can not be deleted. I get this error even if i close all programs on my computer.
how do i get the left side of my menu bar in photoshop elements 6, to show the edit, file, view, find, window and help buttons. Only the camera and little house show up. The only thing that shows is a tiny arrow which is barely visible. All was okay the first time I installed to another computer (which has since crashed). The reinstalling of photoshop the second time is causing the above problem.
I am new to pse8. I am opening pictures I have on my computer and for some reason its not allowing me to edit them. I just have the hand icon. I can click on any of the tools on the left tool bar and they do not work. I open several different images and it wont let me crop or use any of the edit tools.
I've noticed an annoying fact about PS CS6 that never happened in earlier CS versions: If I have a few files open at the same time, and I make a transformation in an image, then move on to antother image, maybe to edit something out of for the first one, when I return to the first image, the change I made is undone, and the image is back to where it was before the transformation. I haven't hit "undo" or any other command in hte interim-I just navigated to a different file and didn't touch the first one for a few minutes. Simply put: if I make a transformation such as rotating something or changing scale, then click on a different file, make changes there, then go back to the first file, it's as if I had never made the last transformation. I ddin't save the file, but why should I have to? I simply left it momentarily. It doesn't happen consistently, and it isn't a deal-breaker, but why does it happen at all? And how can I stop it?
When holding down the left mouse button in the scroll bar area for just a fraction of a second too long, the scroll bar moves several positions. In the past, it wasn't this touchy. It's so touchy that it's impossible to CONSISTENTLY click once and make the scroll thingy move just one position. In previous versions, it works like a charm. Is there a way to adjust this mouse issue?
I use it on every image for cloning so that I can check one section at a time. For this reason, I've now gone back to CS5, but also because CS6 crashes on me and it sometimes gets stuck on Auto Saving files (possibly because they're big).
I've been using photoshop CS6 since it came out of beta, and I've been happy with 99% of the interface changes, except for some of the the new tool cursors which now have arrows in the upper left corner. I've been meaning to post this a while ago, but it seemed that the forums were offline.
One example is the crop tool, but what mainly hinders me are the lassos and paint bucket cursor icons. Is there any way I can replace those with the original ones from cs5 and prior?
When you pick up a tool, and it has an icon of an object (i.e. a lasso), your instinct is to look at and use the tip of that object, not some little black arrow in a corner.
For example, you wouldn't want to have an arrow next to your text cursor, or next to your magic wand cursor, would you? You'd want to use the tip of the wand.
I'm not sure what part of the user community suggested these little arrows be added on those tools, but I find it to be a bad design idea. And it's an annoying choice imo, beacause it doesn't make sense from an interaction design point of view, and not because it would be hard for me to get wrid of my habit of using the tip of the lasso, and to get used to the arrow instead. It's bad, because now, there are two conflicting pointers in the same tool: the icon tip and the arrow tip.
[EDIT] I'm sure people will say that they prefer the new design, arguing about "design consistency" and whatnot. So this is why I ask if there's a way for me to replace the cursors in my photoshop, not everyone's.
Since installing 14.1, flyout items in drop down menus have started appearing to the left of the drop down menu not the right. Grateful to know how to fix this.
