just starting using cs2 v9.0 and found out that the usual layer selecting by pressing ctrl and clicking on the layer did not work. it really drive me crazy. and why they change the linked layer feature, there are no longer little box to linked layers anymore.
ctrl+click thing
In PS CS1 i used to be able to hold Control and click a layer to make the contents of that layer a selection but that don't appear to work in CS2.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi guys, I have been using CS2 since its release but I didn’t discover this small nuance until yesterday, and needless to say it unnerved me quite a bit. In PS7 I used to use a trick to achieve a certain effect in some of my designs, making a pattern or single-color image on one layer, ctrl-clicking that layer to make it a selection, and then using that selection to delete other parts of my image. I liked this method as it allowed for me to save the particular selection, and always have that layer available to go back to in case of future use. Since I haven’t done graphic work in a while (mostly digital painting at the moment) I didn’t realize this change was made, either that, or I don’t know how to achieve a similar ends using CS2 that I did with PS7. If anyone understands what I’m asking, and can offer a bit of assistance it would be much appreciated, I am doing a menu layout and design for a local day-spa and I was hoping to do something interesting with their preexisting logo.
View 4 Replies View RelatedFor some reason when I make a selection using CTRL+Click it never fully matches the cutout of the layer I am mimicking. There is always trim. I've posted a picture to best describe what is happening.Â
Fig A.
I've made a cutout using the background eraser. Because of this you can see how the cutout appears to be somewhat transparent around the edge.
Â
Fig B.Â
When placed on 50% gray the hair trim is as detailed as I wanted. It's a satisfying result.
Â
Fig C.Â
I now make a selected of this semi transparent cutout by cimply CTRL+Clicking the layer.Â
Â
Fig D.
I now duplicate the original (not cutout) and use this selection to cutout again (don't ask why) but the cutout doesn't match 100%. It's close, but it simply doesn't match. I've also tried using this selection to make a mask on the non cutout image and the edge is exactly the same.
Â
I thought some auto anti-alias may be turned on but I can't seem to find anything. I really need a duplicate of this cutout to match precisely.
I installed the other day Photoshop CS2.After a while working with it i wanted to select a layer but s the Ctrl+click command didn't do nothing. Anybody knows if there is another shortcut to do this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedFor some reason Ctrl + Click for layer select does not work any more or should I say properly. When I use Ctrl + Click instead of going to the layer it only jumps to the folder containing that element rather than the layer it's self. Is this new with CS4 or is something not working?

I am helping my intern with a project. I use CS2, but he has CS3. for some reason, I cannot get ctrl+click (to select all pixels in that layer) to work on his CS3...
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat happened to this shortcut? Now it just opens the Open dialog. I used to always use this.
Any way I can add a custom shortcut for this?
How can I select ALL non-transparent pixels from a layer?
Â
- Ctrl + click doesn't work (it seems to have a 50% tolerance - my opacity 7% and 40% pixels don't get selected);
- The magic wand tool with 0% tolerance does work (when I click on a transparent pixel it selects ALL opacity 0% pixels around it and then I just have to inverse selection), BUT my image has a lot of holes with transparent areas and selecting them one by one would be tedious.
I frequently encounter this problem across numerous versions of PS (CS4 - CS6)I like to CTRL+click on my layers to select them for convenience. If in the layers panel, I have a Layer Mask selected (that is, the white border highlight is around the alpha mask thumnail) and the mask is unlinked from the layer itself (there is not a link icon bewteen the layer thumb and alpha mask thumb), the CTRL+click feature seems to be disabled.
Â
I have to relink the mask to the layer in order to restore the functionality. This occurs regardless of the order of any of the layers in question.Is this correct?
I'm working on something where I had the text conform to a curve. Now I would like to make the curve path in visible, and I was able to search for instructions on how to do that except that I'm finding them mystifying. I read "you can select a single item inside a group with Ctrl click," but when I go to the group in the layers gallery, the text and curve are treated as one item, and I see no way to separate the two.

I am using photoshop cs2 and have a question about the Ctrl + LClick Layer Select feature.
In PS9, the function will highlight the layer within a folder. However, in cs2, it selects the folder that contains the layer.
Is there a way to make it like the older version of Photoshop?
-----edit
Sorry, let me explain myself better.
I mean, Ctrl + LClicking the actual layer on the canvas, not the layer palette/window.
In PS9, When you perform the above function, in the layer-palette, it highlights that specific layer for you. In CS2, it highlights the folder that contains the layer.
-----edit
I haven't changed any settings but everytime I press CTRL+G it just adds a group instead of layer mask!
View 6 Replies View Relatedas the place I work at recently upgraded their PS version to CS6 and basically rendered my Intuos 4 completely useless because of the damn Alt/Ctrl modifier, which seems to control the "drag to create a copy of the layer function" regardless of the tool you're using.
Â
It might be specific for my region, but Alt+Ctrl or Alt Gr modifer is used in order to reach certain keystokes, such as ], [, @, so when by default the brush size function on my wacom is linked to a "[" (alt+ctrl+f windows function), my tablet completely flips out and starts sending a mix of Alt, Ctrl and Alt + Ctrl function controls instead of the [ which I'm trying to use.
Â
Alt + w/e functions work just fine, but I can't use any modifer using the alt+ctrl+w/e combo that involves creating a symbol, even while using the keyboard. For example, I can use the alt+ctrl+z command to undo something, but if I linked my brush tool to a "§", which is invoked by calling the alt+ctrl+m windows command, it will act as a normal ctrl + m command and open the curves window.
i double click my layer (its a text) and it just select the text and the window doesnt appear what do i have to do
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd like to select the whole gradient that I have created on its own layer. So I cmd-click (Mac) on the layer's icon. But after doing this not the whole gradient is selected but only the darkest part of it!
With every other layer it worked so far... But not with gradients...
I don't know what happened when i opened my autocad it looks like the image below Untitled.jpg
also if i will right click on the drawing space, nothing happens, but below or in the command window, i can, also for example i drew a line, and i want to redo, the "CTRL" function using ctrl+Z is disabled, what happened with this one?
Im starting to look at a problem with 1 particular drawing I am working on, though to be honest i'm not sure where to begin.... It is nearly impossible to do anything to the drawing without having it crashing on me. On another machine it completely crashed the computer, leaving nothing but the blue Screen.... The file is only 3000 KB, has 2 xrefs and nothing much else complicated. There are some blocks in the drawing (about 100), and around 50 layouts.
The crashing doesn't happen at any command in particular, and I don't think it's the Computer as I have been working on other bigger files with more elements and not had anything (other than the usual)
Can there be something in the drawing that I can search for that makes AutoCAD Crash?I can't get it fixed then I'm going to have to redraw from scratch..
I use quite often the right click in the window to select a layer, which works great. But sometimes this feature stops working as the menu does not come up with the layers below the mouse. First I thought it was the mouse but rightclicking in any other part of the screen (such as the border around the document or the panels works fine.
Is this a setting I need to make or is it a different problem such as lack of memory or what?
I open a document from a file (with read-only mode set to false). Â Then I lock this document and start a transaction.
Within this transaction I delete all blocks that are named "MyBlockName", but none of them are deleted.
I also attempted editting attributes within a block, and the attribute textstring does not change one bit!
Anyways, after the transaction is committed, the database is saved, the lock is disposed, and the document is saved:
public void DoChanges(DrawingFile drawing)
{
//DrawingFile.FullName is a valid string of a full file name.
AcAp.Document acadDoc = AcAp.Application.DocumentManager.Open(drawing.FullName, false);
using (AcAp.DocumentLock docLock = acadDoc.LockDocument()) //Lock for modifying.
{
[Code]...
So, what steps must I do in order to open a document from a file name, make changes to it, then save it?
 The only thing that seems to not work here is making changes to it.
The problem I am having is that every single file I open looks like this. Once I click transform (which I have to) the layer no longer allows me to click and edit the layer. I like to re-size my images in relation to the multiple images I place on a document. My previous version of photoshop did not create a transform box with each new file. How can I adjust photoshop so that it doesn't do this. I am using CS5 on a PC.
View 1 Replies View Related've recently noticed something uncommon when working with Photoshop CS6 under Mac OS X 10.8.x.When I naturally tried to select a Layer by the [ Command + Click ] (let's say) shortcut, it failed. This little thing was driving me nuts, and I know it must be getting some people hairless, too.
Anyway(s), by looking another read-only thread, I noticed the problem has not been solved and some pretty lame recommendations were given. By try, I finally found the solution and was able to fix this little annoyance that maybe we've all been through. downgrading to 5.5 again like I was considering:
Â
1) In Photoshop, make sure the Move Tool is selected by pressing "V";
2) In the tool's submenu, forget about selecting/marking "Auto-Select".
3) Although, make sure "Layer" is selected right next to the "Auto-Select" button, and you should be done as I am.
when i'm going to print may files with 36 layers, corel x5 will close and nothing happen in printing.
note: the file is edited in corel x3 but the printing will done in x5.
Basically, when I go to view the layer mask by holding alt and clicking on the layer mask it doesn't function. Along with this problem, when I go to toggle my adjustment layers on and off, by holding alt and clicking on the eye symbol next to the background layer... again this doesn't work.
Â
Im not sure if I have accidently clicked on something that has disabled these functions or its just a bug.
This function is working properly in os x, however on windows when I right click within the canvas I only get a list of all the layers under the mouse,historically since as far back as I can remember since photoshop had layers (rev 3.0 in 1995?) when you right click in windows within the canvas, you get a list of all the layers under your mouse, with the uppermost layer highlighted for easy identification and location of the contents of your layers. I've run all patches and updates and have even uninstalled/re-installed CS6.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI am doing a Total Training class on CS4 PhotoShop. In the section on Learning about Layers I have opened two jpg files.
I double-clicked on the Background Layer of the Statue jpg and changed the name to Statue. All worked okay.
I then selected the unwanted Background area and deleted it.
I then moved the Clouds jpg which created a new Layer. When I double-clicked to change the Layer name to Clouds, the Layer box did not open but the Layer Style box opened.
I was only able to change the name of the Layer via the Layer Properties box.
When I have more than one PSD open, and go to any layer with a layer effect (i.e. drop shadow) and try to alt + click that layer and drag it to another layer, Photoshop switches me to the other open PSD instead of dragging the effect and applying it to the layer.

The alt key is not broken since I can clone something on the canvas using alt + click.
