Cintiq 21UX/Photoshop CS4 / Win 7 64 b/layer selection problem

I have problems with Photoshop CS4 and the selection of layers.

For example, when working with an image with multiple layers, suppose I have 3 layers and the middle layer has a line drawing. The first layer's color. Suppose I want to get through the lines below. I first select the tool move, then I select the layer containing the lines in the "area of selection of layers", then I switch my stylus to paint and if I touch anything other than the line in the picture that I'm working on (for example some traces of paint), the layer containing the traces of paint is automatically selected in the 'selection box of layers' and what is inappropriate.


In other words, when the move tool is used, I select the layer by touching the image rather that by selecting the layer in the layer selection box. Very frustrating. In this case if I am using the mouse or stylus.
In addition, if I do a group and you put several layers, I can't move the group. If I put the stylus on the work surface, the group opens and inside layer is selected. Again, this happens if I use the mouse or stylus.

I'm running a Dell Studio XPS 8000 with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, have 8g of ram and using a Cintiq 21UX.

I went into the Panel control/Pen and Touch and 'Movies' is disabled.

I went into Photoshop and deselected preferences "Select panoramic Flick".

I went in the utility preferably the Wacom tablet and deleted all my preferences, uninstalled the driver for Wacom Cintiq and reinstalled the latest driver. No change.

Can anyone help with this? It's driving me crazy. I called Wacom and the support guy said he thought it was something that needed to be turned off in Windows as Microsoft has a setting so that select you automatically the nearest window to the top of the screen as you watch.

Thanks for any help, pg

Yes I agree, this can be real boring, but there is a simple solution.

In your taskbar, uncheck the automatic selection.

  • Photoshop CS6 [command + click] layer selection "Problem" solved

    Good afternoon fellas,.


    I recently noticed something rare when working with Photoshop CS6 under Mac OS X 10.8.x.
    When I tried of course select a layer by the [command + click] (say) shortened, it failed. This little thing was driving me crazy, and I don't know that he must do some people without hair, too.

    Anyway (s), looking at another thread to read-only, I noticed the problem has not been resolved and received pretty lame recommendations. Luckily, I finally found the solution and was able to solve this small inconvenience that maybe we've all experienced. So here's the workaround solution, then maybe you never will consider downgraded to 5.5 again as I was thinking:

    (1) in Photoshop, make sure that the move tool is activated by pressing "V";
    (2) in the submenu of the tool, forget the selection/marking 'automatic selection '. I know that sounds nonsense, believe me;

    (3) Although, sure of 'sex' is selected next to the 'Automatic Selection' button and you should be as I am.

    I hope this can help some people! I would be very happy to know, since I just created this account to help you guys.
    I don't know if this problem has been resolved and already posted, I'm sorry. I want to just make sure that we will all be happy!

    See you soon,.
    "Let him go, Jack."

    I was wrong! The Cmd key override to always activate the automatic selection. She calls the opposite behavior from the setting.

    If the box is checked, Cmd will disable temporarily Autoselect.

    If the check box is cleared, Cmd will temporarily allow automatic selection.

  • I have problems with Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Windows 7 32-bit Professiol.

    When I open an image of the bridge, the photoshop Panel is locked on one side of the screen.  The onle way I can get out of it is CTRL, alt, delete.  The problem persists.  I tried to uninstall Adobe and reinstall with no luck.  I called Adobe and they think that there is a problem with the security system in Windows.  Help, please.

    Hey jrcjr,

    This could be attributed to several factors such as conflicts between device drivers, applications, settings of operating system, hardware, and corrupt elements in specific files.

    Basic troubleshooting

    1. make sure that the computer meets the minimum requirements for Photoshop.
    2. install all Windows updates. .
    3 re-create the Photoshop preferences file.

    Re-create the Photoshop preferences file to eliminate problems that may cause a damaged Preferences file.

    To re-create the Photoshop preferences files:

    1. quit Photoshop.
    2. rename the \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings\Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp directory Users\ [username] Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.old.
    3 launch Photoshop. Photoshop creates a new Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp file.
    If the problem persists, the Photoshop preferences files aren't the cause. To restore custom settings, quit Photoshop, and then delete the new Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp file and restore the original name of the previous Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp file.

  • Photoshop CS4 on Windows 7 laptop

    I bought Photoshop CS4 several years ago and used without problem on my laptop with Windows Vista. I've recently updated my laptop which runs on Windows 7. I could not install CS4 on the new laptop computer.

    Any suggestions?

  • Impossible to install Photoshop CS4 Design Standard educational

    I just bought the version of Adobe CS4 Design Standard education and had no problem to install everything but Photoshop CS4 (what do I really need)!  It does not appear on the installation menu when I run startup, but it seems to be on the installation DVD in a couple of the .dmg packages. I currently have photshop elements 6 for Mac installed, and I already had installed Photoshop CS4 ext trial with LightRoom 2, but they removed from my system once the trial is over. Why is not install Photoshop CS4 and how can I solve this problem? I have to reinstall trial software and then try and activate serial number? The installation DVD drive is bad?

    I have had a look through the forums here do not seem to have all the same questions.  I have three drives in the package, 1-Applications, content-2 and 3-learning.

    I can see the files for Photoshop .dmg disk 1-Applications, but do not know if I develop they successfully install Photoshop.  I managed to install InDesign, Illustrator and Acrobat 9 with the parts with no problem and still about 100 GB of free space on the disk.

    I'm installing on my MacBook Pro, with 250 GB HD and 4 GB of RAM with 512 MB video card.  I previously ran the trial version on the machine with no problems, so I'm assuming that there is no problem with the minimum requirements to run the software.  The only problem I think that could touch it is that I don't have Safari 4 on my machine...

    Any ideas?

    Probably because of the trial. Run the CS4 Cleanscript then re-install all :-(

  • Eraser and Windows Journal lasso to register in the upper left corner of the screen on Wacom Cintiq 21UX

    I try to use Windows 7 Windows Journal with my Wacom Cintiq 21UX (which acts as a second DVI monitor and a USB pen camera).  I can write with the end marker/pen/highlighter (including pressure sensitivity).  But when I switch to the eraser tools or lasso (even if I use the rear part of the pen), my stylus entries are mapped to the wrong place, about 75% of the screen and the 30% of the screen left.  This makes the newspaper on the Cintiq pretty useless.

    Cintiq works fine with all other software, including Windows Paint, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, etc, it seems to be isolated Windows journal.  That's why Wacom claims it's about Microsoft, not Wacom.

    Other people seem to have the same problem, any time by Windows Journal on a machine with multiple monitors:

    I had the same problem with two screens. I've now solved!

    I disabled the extended screen while the Windows Journal was opened, and the gum and lasso were aligned where it should be. Then I reactivated the extended monitor and two functions worked again very well. Even after a reboot, the functions worked fine!

    If pse8 was a upgrade valid for ps cs4, it should be available in the drop-down list when you start the installation of cs4.

    or, if you are right, you could install pse8 first and then install ps cs4.

  • 4K and more old Photoshop CS4. Small menus.

    Hi guys!

    I was perfectly happy with my old Nikon D300, and with a greater camera PS CS4 works very well for me.

    Upgrade to the new camera also implies the upgrade to the new software, which is a big step for me, so I was fine with what I have... Until I upgraded to a 4K screen!

    Most of things automatically set W10, and everything seems very clear. But menus PS If tiny, I can't get them. The anti-roll bar menus looks right, but to find the right one, it takes a magnifying glass?

    I have red that the latest versions of the PS obtained a framework for the icons of 200%. But what of us with older versions?

    I was googling around and found all kinds of patches involving the Registry hacks in windows, add scripts in the folder of the PS and much more... Really?

    I've tried a few, but on my PC and the software version, it didn't work, so I'm stuck with a useless Photoshop CS4?

    A little update for older versions of Adobe would be much appreciated.

    Is / will there be a solution for this?

    And NO, I don't want to upgrade to a new PS one, I came, I paid for in its entirety. And it would be a shame if an upgrade would be the limit for Photoshop.

    There is no reason why it should not adjust automatically, like most other windows programs, not there at - it?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    / Kristian.
