A lot of images. How to select by using the preview window (work area)?

I have 15 images that I put on a background (picture 16) in the style of a collage.  Each image has an adjustment layer bound to her for me to mix an image manually in the next.  This worked fine, but now I have 15 images with rounded edges and I learned how to change them, I hit a problem, that I wasn't expecting.  My planned process is to move these images in a variety of sizes and positions until I got the look I love.    The only way I could work on that's too painful (scrolling up and down my palette of layer until I find the picture i took for target, select the layer, Ctrl + to highlight in the preview window and then move and size).  With 32 layers, it is very tedious.  It makes more sense for me to select in the preview window (even if it means hitting a hotkey multiple times until I select the picture I want to work with).

Maybe I approach the task entirely the wrong way.  I'm willing to try any suggestion.  I like to do this kind of project, and I moved to Adobe because I thought that I could take advantage of its extra power to do a better job.

I am relatively new to PSE 8, but not new for photoediting.  I, are looking for an answer on this forum and the web in general, but can not get close to a solution.  Thanks for your help!

Edit: Using the technique I describe above, when I move to the work area (what I called window preview), the layer I selected off the coast of the Layer palette has a finely dashed around it, there is another area apparently random, highlighted by a blue line and line dotted yet another seemingly random area highlighted with a heavier white.  These hold the key my solution?

To make it more clear what I'm trying to do-, here is a brief description of it: the final result is a print for a friend who was a torch for the relay of the Olympic flame to 13 x 19 inches.  I have a map of Canada with the road on this issue and 15 images are pictures of his 15 minutes of nirvana.  I want to fuss around with transparency, size, rotation, each of the images.  I am very happy with the adjustment layer feature (which allows to paint me with transparency).  the rest, I thought would be easy, but...

Yes, that's the downside of the technique, it's that you need move the brush and gum to get your mask just a clipping mask.

No way around that.

As far as being able to see what your paint before painting, make a copy of your image layer and put it at the bottom of your layer stack

Then, set its opacity to say 75% or so to be semi-transparent.

Now you can paint on your layer mask to bring your full image. Hide or display the background layer let's you see the result and quickly return the Semitransparent 'outline '.

See attached screenshot.

  • How to select data using the same remote database column name 3

    Hello


    Can anyone help me on how to get the data with the same remote database column names 3 and a unique nickname.

    E.g.

    SELECT *.
    B.SID, b.status, SUM (b.qty) qantity MAX (b.) date_as_of
    Of
    * ((table1@remotedatabase1, table1@remotedatabase2, table1@remotedatabase3) has, *)
    (* (table1@remotedatabase1, table1@remotedatabase2, table1@remotedatabase3) b). *
    WHERE b.dept = 'finance '.
    AND a.position = "admin".

    Not valid. This makes no sense and breaks all the rules of scope-resolution. And if it is in a single database, or uses tables in databases, is not relevant.

    Each object must be particularly well identified. If you cannot do this:

    select * from (table1@remotedatabase1, table1@remotedatabase2, table1@remotedatabase3) a
    

    3 objects cannot share the same alias. Example:

    SQL> select * from (dual, dual) d;
    select * from (dual, dual) d
                       *
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
    

    You need to combine objects - by using a join union or similar. He will have to be done as follows:

    SQL> select * from (select * from dual d1, dual d2) d;
    select * from (select * from dual d1, dual d2) d
           *
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00918: column ambiguously defined
    

    However, we need to have unique column in a projection of SQL names - so the join of the need to project a unique set of columns. So:

    SQL> select * from (select d1.dummy as dummy1, d2.dummy as dummy2 from dual d1, dual d2) d;
    
    DUM DUM
    --- ---
    X   X
    
    SQL> 
    

    I suggest that you look carefully at what opportunities are and how it applies in SQL - and ignore if the referenced objects are local or remote, because it has no effect on the basic principles of scope-resolution.

    Hi Sergior96769872,

    I saw your Adobe ID (email address), you used to post on the forums, and I see an active subscription on it.

    Please see Help below links: { make sure you use the same Adobe ID (email address) that you used to purchase the subscription }

    Connect and disconnect activate Cloud Creative applications

    Adobe Creative Cloud apps back in test mode after 2015 set CC to update

    * NOTE: Make sure that your firewall of your computer or security software firewall does not block Adobe, if you are not sure of it can just disable the firewall for a while and then log off and log on creative application of cloud and check.

    If it still gives you an error of the trial, then please refer to the troubleshooting listed below:

    If you are using MAC:

    1-force Quit the sub process in the same sequence as shown below from Activity Monitor: see, use the monitor activity on your Mac - Apple Support

    • Creative cloud
    • Basic timing & sync to basic support
    • CC library & process CCX
    • Adobe Common Desktop
    • Adobe update daemon
    • Broker CIB Adobe
    • After that, everything that said adobe on it do a force quit for her

    2 - right click on the Finder icon, then select the "Go - To" folder. You will get a text box, type in the following command and then press the 'return '. ("Not to be missed ~ symbol")

    ~/Library (it will open the folder of the user's library.)

    5 - go to: Apple icon > system preferences > Security & Privacy > General > "allow applications downloaded on" change this anywhere (to make these changes click the padlock in the corner at the bottom left of this window and enter your computer password)

    These changes are temporary you can restore these changes back to normal once your creative cloud app is running *.

    6 - restart the cloud creative app and connect

    3 - CUT any security software installed with firewall system, also if your having any browser Add On installed for blocking advertising that turn off too.

  • Cannot move a selection while using the rectangular selection tool brand

    Most likely you do not have new selection activated in the toolbar options for the rectangular selection tool.
