How do I re activate the "Constrain Proportions" feature when it is "greyed out".
Trying to re-size a photo in old Photoshop version with the magnifying glass logo.
New user of Elements 10. I am trying to change an image size but NOT keep the current height/width ratio.
When I go into the Image Size option box, the Constrain proportions box is ticked, so when I change the width, the height automatically alters to a new figure (say 100 x 50 becomes 200 x 100)
What I need to do is to have different sizes (say 100 x 50 to become 200 x 160). I realise that the image will look wrong, but this is not a problem, in fact it is what I am trying to achieve.
What do I have to do to be able to uncheck this option within the Image Resize dialogue box.
In a previous version of Photoshop, that I had access to, this was achieved by simply un-ticking the option.
I recently reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled the free to use version of CS2 on my PC. I'm running 32 Bit Windows 7. Since the install Photoshop will not allow me to use Shift+ Cursor to resize with constrained proportions. When I press Shift the cursor freezes and I am unable to move it no matter how hard I press on the track pad. If I resize and then press shift the image will square out. It appears that only the scroll function is disabled.

I can use shift to type upper case within Illustrator, but its not allowing me to size things proportionally. I searched within many option and menus and googled this problems without any resolution.

When I unchecked constrain proportions and choose reshape, of course the proportions are off on the layers within and when I try to resize each of those layers, they become blurry.

I have seen some other posts on this and they mentioned quitting entourage or disabling your firewall as a fix. I am not running Entourage nor am behind a firewall. I also reset my preferences.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI upgraded my system hard drive to an SSD. Before imaging my C: drive I decided to deactivate Photoshop just in case something terrible happened. After restoring the system image to my new SSD, the computer booted Windows7 and all seemed well.
My problem is that when I try to run Photoshop it immediately closes. It does not give me the opportunity to reactivate. Do I have to reinstall CS5?
My home computer hard drive crashed, so I can't deactivate the copy of CS2 that was installed on it. Since I still need the original CS2 on my work computer, how can I reactivate the copy of CS2 on my home computer?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI purchased access to the Creative Cloud for PhotoShop CS6 and messed up when I first opened it.
I work on a Mac, OS 10.8
My boot drive has a bad block for the 2nd time in 6 months, so I'm going to replace. I will be cloning the drive via Mac Disk Utility to the replacement drive.
I don't want to waste any Activations, so do I DE activate prior to cloning and then Re activate after replacing the new drive? I assume this will count as only one Activation on one machine?
BTW, Adobe chat seemed clueless about this.
how to adjust Genius pen tablet i 608 to Photoshop CS3, When I put a CD on my tablet and draw a circle around it, I get an elipse in photoshop. I have tried by setting the pen area in my latest Genius driver to match my paper size in Ps but that didn't work. I need to set up that ratio or the proportions to match so my drawings would not be skewed.

How to achieve this without the picture looking stretched, in terms of it's height. Everything looks constrained when you just do the image or canvas resize.
How to make this image visibly more clear and perfect. But don't change its proportions, the size should be exactly the same as I'm going to use it for facebook cover.

Sometime you want to stretch the height and I already know how to enlarge with constrained proportions as I've been doing it for years.I can't find any useful tick box to stop this from happening and the only way round it I can find is to convert to editable shapes.

I have been working with some GIS data in the form of SHP files in autocad map 3D 2011. On one of my layers I have started getting "Feature was not saved in the target feature source" when I try to check in my data. In total there are 308 errors in the data table, all of which were features I deleted. They all have a featID of null and I cannot remove them from the data table. I need to fix these errors without going back and starting over.

After opening a RAW file in ACR CS6, Win 7, the outline is constrained to a 3:2 box. When I drag down, it's a vertical 3:2 box. I try clicking on the crop icon at top, but there's no response. There's no drop down menu when I click the icon. Otherwise, ACR works fine, using the 2012 methods.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI love drawing in Photoshop. But there is one thing that Sketchbook Pro does better that causes me to start a new project there every time. Quickly I get frustrated at the limitations of the program and the poor handling of keyboard shortcut options...Why do I start in SbP? The adjustable rulers (linear, elliptical)!
I WISH that Adobe would buy, beg, borrow, or steal this functionality from Autodesk. They are so easy to adjust, reposition, replicate, etc.
I know that I can create a selection with the marquee, lasso and magic wand tools. I know I can add a "stroke" effect to the layer. I know I can add a stroke that supposedly borrows the brush settings to a selection... But, I want to be able to "DRAW" along that path, utilizing the brush settings (like Transfer) to suit the stylistic needs of the project.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen we hold Shift while painting with the brush or pencil tool the stroke is constrained to a 180, 90 or 45 degree angle.
ever since CS4, when we do this, a faint brush line appears to connect the end of the first stroke with the beginning of the next creating all sorts of unwanted effects. This happens regardless of where we make the next stroke.
The only way of not having this happen is to keep reselecting the brush tool (keyboard shortcut B) after each stroke. When there are many lines to draw, doing this creates unnecessary delay in workflow.
