Can I deselect is more by clicking outside the box

When I select a box in Photoshop CS6, can I deselect is more by clicking outside the box.  My ToolTip displays the cross with the sign at the bottom right to indicate I'm in additive mode.  I can do a right-click to display a menu drop-down and choose "deselect", but it's a drag that interrupts the flow of my thought and annoys me so much.  I tried to go to the preferences and ensuring that the slider is 'standard '. I have reset my preferences. Without ceiling locked, etc.. What is going on?  More importantly, how can I ensure that all I have to do is to click outside the selection to deselect.  I work on a Mac, if that makes a difference. I'd appreciate any help here.  Thank you.

I need have the selection mode set to new selection in the options toolbar to make it work.

Or Cmd + D to deselect.

  • Whenever I have anything open, it will randomly be deselection as if I clicked outside the window when I don't have

    I'm having a little wrong to describe this problem. Whenever something is opened, whether it's a pdf file, web browser, etc., at random points in time everything I use will be deselected as if I clicked on the desktop to stop control everything that is in the window/app, when I have not clicked out of it. It is as detailed as I can do, I don't know much about computers and can find no solution in the forums. Thank you!

    Hello

    You have a laptop by chance? Looks like you're accidentally hit the touchpad with your finger and therefore the development of switching away without realizing it. Its similar to the problem people have when the slider appears 'magical' jump to somewhere else than where they type. If it's happening that the only real cure is to disable the Touchpad and external mouse (which is what most people do).

    If it is what do you want / need for instructions to disable the touchpad? Post here with what I can do for you.

  • Once I do a text comment and click outside the comment, my comment fades lighter than the color of multiple shades, in which it was typed. Someone knows how to fix this?

    Once I do a text comment and click outside the comment, my comment fades lighter than the color of multiple shades, in which it was typed. Someone knows how to fix this?

    Maybe the opacity for the comments of text setting is set to a value lower than 100%... The problem is that there is no way to change it except by using a script.

    Here's how you can do it. After you have created your comment, click on it with the mouse and press Ctrl + J to open the JS Console window.

    In the lower part of the window clear the text that is there and enter this instead and then press Ctrl + Enter:

    this.selectedAnnots [0] .opacity = 1;

    This should change the level of opacity for the comment selected 100%.

    If it works then right click on the comment, go to properties and then click on the 'Make default properties' box and click OK.

    It should now be fixed for any comment that you create.

  • When my monitor goes to sleep I can't wake him up by clicking on the mouse. I have to restart the computer to see the monitor

    When my monitor goes to sleep I can't wake him up by clicking on the mouse. I have to restart the computer to be able to see the screen.  I tried all turned on and on the screen but when I do it says monitor going to sleep

    I assume you are using a desktop computer you are referring to the monitor going to sleep rather than the course of PC to sleep.

    1 check the monitor power management & the display adapter in Control Panel, Manager of peripheral and during that control you the mouse power management and make sure that it is likely to be used for anything wake up.

    2 in case of failure, then check the monitor & display settings of the adapter to control panel, display.

    3 check manual site or the monitor stand, so the settings recommended.

    4 then check the settings of the Control Panel, power options, change plan settings change advanced power settings.  In particular, if it is a USB mouse, you may disable settings settings USB, USB selective suspend setting.

  • How can I default to LR, when clicking on the cloud creative app. ?

    How can I default to LR, when clicking on the cloud creative app. ?

    Hi Ron,

    What do you mean exactly? The creative cloud App is just that - a stand-alone app that manages your subscription CC, including the app updates and active such as files and fonts.

    You want an icon to click to run Lightroom? In this case, you would start Lightroom (not CC App) and either "pin to taskbar" (Windows) or "Keep in Dock" (Mac). If you need help doing that, just tell us what operating system you are running. If this isn't your question, please clarify what you are asking.

  • Application loses focus when clicked outside the region

    Hello.

    We have created the apex 4.2.5 application.

    Application has a small region (quarter of the screen space).

    When the user clicks outside this region, application loses focus.

    Is it possible to disable click outside the region, or when you click on it on the outside, place the cursor on the element in the region?

    Thank you.

  • REPORT of BUG card add contact information click on the box and click the button do not always reside in the same place

    When you use the card on adobe lightroom CC 2015.4, by clicking on the button to add coordinates to a picture fails in about 3 to 4 tests.

    It turns out that the button will still work when flying over generates a blue rectangle in the text of the button 'add contacts '. But in many trials, the overview of the button will not generate this blue rectangle with the active area of the button, but below the button. Need to click outside the button for recorded details. This causes a lot of lost time, that we need to try again and again...

    Do this please be fixed?

    I use Win 10 64 bit, but I think that the problem happened also with previous versions of Windows. Only now, with Win10, the blue rectangle is here to show active, click area, and it is now clear he does not always match the position of the button. Very clumsy!

    Please post a bug report in the official Adobe feedback forum: Photoshop Lightroom | Community customer Photoshop family. Screenshots or a movie screen would make more clear what is exactly the problem.  (This forum is mainly a user forum with some low-level tech support.)

    Help!  I'm stuck.  No, not the child into the well.  I took a picture and put a second layer top with a rounded rectangle to make a frame.  My problem is that I need to find a way to hide the small box outside the box on the second layer.  Thanks to all those who can help you.

    Another option is to put the Options bar of the Rectangle rounded to the path tool

    Trash bolt for the background layer, hold down the Cmd key and click on the symbol of the new layer to layer below the image to white. Then edit > fill with white.

    Return the image layer and draw the image as a path

  • Why the new update now automatically put my uid/pw in the box? Previously, I had to click on the box. It is a security risk.

    The latest update of Firefox now automatically my uid/pw in the boxes. Previously, I had discretion because they do not display unless I clicked on the box. Now anyone who uses my pc (same family), are they 'just' to go to my bank or other personal sites, the information is displayed. Although the pw is "played on" it makes no difference because it appears automatically.
    My concern is that the extra security of 'not seeming to be here' today has been removed. It wasn't a well-thought updated.

  • Click on the boxes only works intermittently

    Hello

    I use 7 Captivate to develop a guide of online user and have problems with click boxes. Some of them will be randomly cease to function and to freeze the project when you click it (it is after having published both in the preview of Captivate). Who click on the boxes what happened is completely random - it will happen with a clickbox and 10 minutes later we're going to work even once and another (who worked previously) will have stopped working. This is without changing any settings.

    The clickboxes are just linking to other slides in the project and are put on pause until the user clicks. I checked that slide numbers are well positioned and checked the timeline to ensure that it is not not to do with this.

    There is other intermittent issues, how I feel, like images flown over appearing as red squares and the project as a big black screen. It is normally resolved by closing the preview and re - open.

    I was wondering if it could be to do with the size of the project (96 slides and 405 mb), because the problems are so random it seems to be bound to parameters.

    I use Windows 7 and the project is previewing or opening Internet Explorer 9 (using a work PC).

    Anyone have any idea what might solve this problem?

    Thank you.

    Tom.

    Tutt... Tutt... language...

    405 MB for a project with slides below 100 waaaayyyy sounds excessive to me.  You have to deal with a corrupt project file.

    I suggest that you create a new empty project of the same size and then copy paste groups of 10 or 20 slides from the old project to the new.  Sometimes, you can strip the corruption caused by files bloated this way that it forces Captivate to recreate all the unique object ID again, but nothing that do not directly relate to a slide is left behind in the old project file.

    Let us know what your size drops down for once you do the exercise of copy paste.
