Photoshop :: How To Disable Or Turn Off The Measurement / Info Fly Out Box
Jun 17, 2013
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.
Is it possible to disable Photoshop CS6's "On-Canvas Info Display," the "small information pop-ups [that] are displayed near the cursor when using a variety of tools"? (circled in red below). I know it's a cool thing but it sometimes gets in the way. I'm running PS CS6 extended on 64 Bit Windows 7.
I have elements 10 and am using it in windows 7. The manual says that "As you edit your images, Photoshop Elements automatically keeps track of the file's edit history and adds this information to the file's metadata". That's what I want. But when I look in the History tab in the File Info, it's always blank.
How do I get it to turn on and keep track of the edits I've made to the image? (Note -- I'm not talking about the Undo History panel -- that works and shows the edit history. I'm talking about the History tab in "File Info".)
Sometimes I take a screenshot from within L/R 3.6 and send it by email. Problem is the image name/date/size info. overlay spoils the image. I've looked all over L/R prefs etc but I can't see how to turn the info. off, assuming it's possible to do so?
I used to be able to import pics from my camera into a specific folder on my hard drive. That was until 2 weeks ago. Now my only choice is to import into the folders below. C. drive - where all my digi camera pics are - is no longer there. How do I get L/R import to recognize my hard drive again.
The balloon tip that pops up is just an explanation of what the item is for or what it does when selected. I think I would be pretty safe in guessing that whenever a balloon tip appears there is a help button to go to any particular item. How these things can be disabled or turned off. I did find somewhere, a while ago, a way to edit the registry. But that was when I was using Windows XP.
Now I'm using Windows 7 and the only place these balloons get under my skin is in AutoCad. Which is vanilla AutoCad version 2010. I guess I have to give up trying to insert an image. I have a *.jpg file but no matter what folder I put it in this "insert image" function don't or can't see it for some reason.
In the object manager docker, is there some way to turn off the information that appears when you hover the cursor over an item? I found that turning off tooltips does not affect 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?
Iâm designing a DVD case cover. Iâm printing it with my home printer, when Iâm measuring it on the paper it larger than it specified in Photoshop. I have tried to check and uncheck the âScale to Fit Imageâ� but its still not accurate. My image is : 297x210 Res : 300ppi Why the measurement on the paper and the document size in Photoshop are not the same? something to do with the printer driver? Any help?
I am taking measurements of a large site plan for a report. However, after I save and exit the image, it clears the measurement log. In other words, after saving and exiting, and then reopening the image, the measurement log is clear. I can save the measurement log as a text file, but when I reopen the image, the data isn't there and I cannot find a way to link it back to the image. Is there a way to save the data with the image?
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
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?
in Photoshop Extended (CS6), when I set a custom measurement scale and save/close the file, the scale information is not retained after the file is reopenend. I have experimented with both .psd and .tif files. I used to be able to do this in CS3 without any trouble!
when I'm using the rectangle tool or the marquee selection I get this awesome little 'context' box that shows how big the object I'm drawing is.. but it's on inches. How do I change this to pixels?
I 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?
When I crop them I have set the crop tool to 4x3 thinking that's the aspect ratio of my screens at least. IN crop tool am I specifying an aspect ratio or the units my image is in in PS CS [pixel or inches or cm- Inches in my case]?
Also, it just occured to me, what happons to the image if the user has set thier resolution to something other than 4x3 ratio, e.g. 800x720 ?

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.
I'm trying to use the Image Analysis functionality of PS CS6 to obtain brightness levels from an image.
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)>.
The respective RGB components of the generated patches are exactly as expected (255*percentage_value).
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.
Inbetween, there is disagreement which rises from 0 @ 0% to the highest (5 @ 50%) to then decrease again to 0 @ 100%.
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.
How come?
I've tried removing colour profiles (to exclude gamma encoding issues) and using different colour spaces and/or models, with no change in behaviour.
All my patches are pure gray so there shouldn't be any problem with unexpected colour weighting.
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.
Clearly, the value for all three aspects should be the same, and I expect the value to be 128.
I'm using PS CS6, Version: 13.0.1 (13.0.1 20120808.r.519 2012/08/08:21:00:00) x32, on Win 7.
I have created a custom measurement tool to measure distances (captured from sattelite imagery, and using the distance key as the guide) and it works great. However, I would like to be able to use the same tool to measure curves/radiuses. Say for instance a mountain road. I know the scale of the photo, and can measure any straight (line) angle, but can I do the same for a curve or radius using the same scale?
How do we flip the dimension numbers from one side of the line to another?
My dimension always appears on the left hand side for a vertical line and on the top for horizontal line... Can I make them appear on the bottom or right side?
I created a new unit using “Edit” and selected “Units,” then clicked on “New” and entered the info and saved the info. However, I mistyped info on the unit which created 2 units with the same name. How do I delete the incorrect unit?
