By choosing a layer with point and click

When I used to use Photoshop 6 I could point to a picture of layers to select it. So if I had 20 layers past with lots of complicated things to select the layer that I wanted to work on I would just click in the main window on something in this layer. I could then go straight to working on that layer or begin to move. Now, I have Photoshop CS 8, this technique does not work so I have to play with the palette of layers trying to isolate that I want to work on. Does anyone know how to turn on the feature that I used to use in the 6?

You can also take command-shift while clicking on the image. Any layer with non-transparent pixels in the place will appear in the drop-down context menu. Use command to temporarily disable the automatic selection Doug speak. This can be useful when you have two layers stacked on top of each other and you want to move there.

  • Need help with the exchange of rooms in my point and click game

    OK, I'll do my first point and click on the flash game to familiarize myself with some databases.

    I set up a room with a walls (rooms) 2 for the moment and on the first picture there is 4 screws which, when clicked play a small animation and are then removed, works great so far.  But if I leave this room and go back inside the screws are back in their original position.  How can I prevent this from happening, I guess I put an if formula somewhere on my addChild (TLscrew) or put it somewhere else, somewhere else in the enter_frame function.  Anyway here is my code, any help would be appreciated.

  • Problems of Smartphones Blackberry Storm 1 blackBerry with camera and clicking noise

    Hi, I'm really bad with technology if I appreciate all the comments! I want to see if my problem is a simple before I send mine to fix. My blackberry storm has recently made a low clicking noise when it is not hit. Also the camera does not work. I can see the image that I am about to take, but when I take a picture all I see is a black screen with random colors forming a line on the left side of the screen so no picture don't can be taken. What can I do? Thank you!

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    Each time a random strange behavior or slow creeps, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    Best!

  • After recovery, admin password information with 'points' and impossible to remove or change

    Hello.

    I ran yesterday, updates of Windows 7 but only those necessary.  I do not have one of those as an option.  After the updates completed, I turned on the computer and he was stuck in a loop cycle - from windows, then the admin password, connect you box came.  The box was fiiled in (with "dots" but too many to represent my password) and the screen just quickly flashed back & forth between the login screen and 'incorrect password '.     I tried to change username, and it flashed back into the admin log.

    I did a system restore to the factory settings (after saving all data) using the recovery discs.  After recovery, the screen "Set a password for the account" comes with the box below "Type a password" completely filled with dots.  I can't delete them with the BACKSPACE or DELETE key.  If I put highlight and then try to erase it with BACKSPACE or DELETE, the cursor just moves on the right side of the password box, but it is not always remove the defective "dots" password so that I can change.

    I tried to restart with the power and then switch on again.  After selecting the country & language again, same password screen developed.

    It's stuck!  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  I have computer I have is the HP Touchsmart 310 1155 - Y.

    Thank you!

    It's curious with a recovery.  First, try to reset the password using NTPassword.  Do the boot CD that him following the signs.  If this does not resolve the problem of signon, think to install the operating system from a typical drive of Windows 7 to the same version, using the key of the COA sticker.

    Hello
    I did a small database for a Bank model. I have 2 tables. Customers and customer representatives (customer_reps)
    2 tables are related to eachother with customer REP ID (cust_rep_id)

    R.lname GROUP, r.name

    My 2nd query gives me the count of the total number of clients of the Cust. REP that has the largest number of customers. But this query gives only the total number

    SELECT MAX (CNT) OF

    'a' is just an alias, you can use max like this...

    From customers c, customer_reps r
    WHERE c.cust_rep_id = r.cust_rep_id
    R.lname GROUP, r.NAME

  • replace the comma with point

    Hi all

    I am getteing mad with the following problem and need your help.
    I work in a PDF form - including a table. The values in this table create a datamatrix. It works fine for now.
    My question: the values in the array are numbers like 12.2 but also 12 or 9 but maximum two digits before the '. '. (dot). Separator character must be a '. '. In Germany there is the ',' (comma) instead of '. ' on the numeric keypad.
    For better usability, it would be nice to have a java script that replaces onBlur all ',' with a '. '. So I don't have to change the keyboard to English language.

    Is this possible and if so, how?

    I'm a noob absolutely on javascript, so please be patient and don't expect any specific knowledge.

    What I tried (menu is translatet from the German version, I don't know if this is correct):

    onBlur.replace (",",".");

    I put this in (right click on the form)-> properties-> action->

    Add the action: at the exit of the mouse

    Choose the action: run JavaScript

    Click 'Add '.

    Then I copied the terminus of the top in the window opening. Ready (at least that was my thought...)

    He said does not work, now I nedd your help.

    Thank you for your advice, your help and your time.

    The solution was much easier than expected:

    then choose 'execute user-defined script' and click 'change'.

    type the following line:

    Event.Value = event.value.replace (/ a, / g, ".");

    Click 'OK' and then 'close '.

    Then you are finished. Now, if you leave the Acrobat form field checks if there is a comma and replace it with a point.

    For me, it was the best way to make it work.

  • Multiple tasks with a single click

    My job is to manually change several lines to a different graphic style and before this line to another layer.  As it is now, I change the graphic styles, choosing Select < even < fill & stroke and before moving the lines to the appropriate layer.  I am wanting to know if there is a way to change the graphic style and move the line to the other layer with a single click.  I'm ignorant when it comes to scripts, but I was wondering if there are scripts that would be subject to this function.

    You must explain in detail the installation program. Otherwise, the people making suggestions are just guessing. Here is my suggestion based on what little information you have provided:

    You don't need a script for this. You can do it with a set of very simple Actions. Example:

    Suppose that your recurring task requires three layers, named Red, green and blue. On each layer, all objects need to have the same graphic Style applied.

    1. new document. Create three layers. Name them, red, green and blue.

    2 define three graphic Styles. Name them, red, green and blue.

    3. draw an object (any object, a square, a line, no matter). Send it to the red channel. In the attributes Palette, type 'Red' in the Note field. (This effectively 'names' the 'Red' object.)

    4 draw an object, send it to the green channel. Type 'Green' in his Note.

    5 draw an object. Send it to the blue layer. In its Note of type 'blue '.

    6 draw an object on the Red layer. Select it.

    7 actions Palette: new Action. Name of the Action 'red '. Define red colour. Start recording:

    7.1 Edition > cut

    7.2 Edition > paste in front

    7.3 apply red graphic Style

    7.4 stop recording.

    Range of actions 8: select the stage of the Cup. In the menu drop-down select Select an object... In the dialog box, enter "red". OK, the dialog box. The Action should have now a new stage set the selection listed after the stage of the Cup.

    9 flyout Palette menu actions: the Mode button.

    You now have a red named Action which appears as a red button in the actions palette. Select an object. Click on the button. The object is moved to the Red layer and becomes red graphic style.

    10 turn off the Mode button. Duplicate Action. Double-click the duplicate. Change its name to green and its green color. Change its step set the selection to select the object named green. Replace its step of graphic Style with a stage that applies the Green graphic Style.

    11. Similarly, duplicate and edit one of the two Actions to create a blue Action. Put the actions in button Mode palette.

    Now you can select any number of items and then move them to the red, green or blue layer and apply the graphic Style suitable in one click.

    Now come back and reveal the specifics of your situation that makes all this work moot.

    protected boolean touchEvent (TouchEvent event) {}

    This is the command key, not the control key for a Mac that you use on the layer.

  • How to choose the right layer just pointing?

    I have a file with many layers (a composition with lots of different hidden items and comped together) and used the V tool by pressing Ctrl to select the appropriate layer.

    After organizing my layers into groups, which no longer works.  Pointing takes me for the Group containing the layer I want, and I still have to understand that, in the old-fashioned way (toggle visibility on all of them until this I find the right one).  With nested groups, it is even worse, and the point function is totally broken.

    I noticed that point function has had some other good improvements: it shows the contours of layers and a few numbers when the ctrl key is pressed.

    So, is there a more refined way to use the feature to make it useful again?

    OK, it seems that changing the radio button in the group to the layer, is what I wanted.  Leaving the AutoSelect deselected. the option is separated from him is no not part of this, as it seems.  The ': ' at the end makes it appear that the option right applies to the function on the left and means nothing without her.

    Regarding right-clicking, which gives a long list of everything, and not just what I could be pointing.  Too bad, it would be a handy feature.  Right-click to change diapers doesn't help if I only know the name that is on the photo: the 'hard' is to toggle the visibility up to this I find, and which is no longer available in the layers panel.

  • When connecting on MacMini, password is auto-complete with a myriad of points and is not the right password

    When connecting on MacMini after I click on the user, the password field is auto-complete with a myriad of points and is not the right password.

    There suddenly / maybe after the most recent update 2015-008, which I installed it on 8 January 2016.

    I need to delete points, usually I can remove them by double clicking on it and pressing the delete key, but they will not simply remove by clicking in the field and using the delete key, as would be normal. Sometimes it takes a few tries to remove the points, and then I can connect.

    Does my keyboard or a virus, my usb port, the update of security or something else...?

    I use this computer without problem for a few years.
