• How to use just 1 click away with the move (v command) tool to select the layer in the Group?

  I'm on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Photoshop CS3 10.0.

  Is it possible to click only once with "V command" to select a layer in a group?

  I used to be able to do and on my laptop I can do now (same OS and Photoshop), but the mac that I use for my design work won't... I must also, right-click and select the layer highlighted. I have a document a lot of multilayer Photoshop with many groups, and it is an extra step of your time.

  Is there a preference I can turn on? Or some other simple typo?

  Thank you very much!

  Select the tool move and set the options of the control bar. By default, it took to select a group, simply change layer.

• How to make CTRL + click to find the layer within a group

  I searched the web, but am not finding what I need:

  How the hell do you control click to select a layer in a group? Whenever I have ctrl + click on a layer in a group, it only selects the entire group. I want to find the layer I'm clicking on, not the entire group.

• In version 13.0 is selected the option "when Firefox starts to show my windows and tabs from last time", but I always get default page of Firefox.

  Hi Goldie_,

  I guess you don't watch this page when you closed Firefox last time. Also that you are not in private, correct navigation mode? Looks like it is maybe a problem with Firefox being able to save your file pref.js. You should try the steps listed in the preferences section that won't save trouble. Try and let me know how it goes.

  Hope this helps!

• Select the layer function in action

  I have three layers with text in different languages. I want to record in three different PNG files.

  I tried to do action, select the layer, hide it and save it. Select another layer, then do the same thing. But the selection of layers is not saved to the action.

  Is there a solution?

  big thank you

  No, I don't think. The selections are what they mean - interactive decisions which provide a context for a tool or a command. What you would require a script, and even in this case, you have to take care to name the layers properly in the first place...

• JS CS4: Create the variable for the active layer, and then select the layer at the end of a script

  I'm come white with the verbiage and spin my wheels with OMV guide and script.

  var myOriginalLayer = app.activeDocument.layers.item (0);
  Alert (myOriginalLayer)

  Returns "layer object" and not the name of the layer.

  var myOriginalLayer = app.activeDocument.layers.lastItem () .name;

  Returns the name of the layer I want but not by choice.

  I am challenged on how to select the layer.

  Hi John,.

  The difference lies in that the [Object Layer] is the real object, and the 'name' is a property - like color.

  You can use one of these two approaches:

  var myOriginalLayer = app.activeDocument.layers.item (0);
  Alert (myOriginalLayer.Name);

  hosts the original layer object, and you can see the name if necessary :-)

  For re - select the layer, use

  app.activeDocument.activeLayer = myOriginalLayer;

  You can also select name goes like

  var myOriginalLayerNAME = app.activeDocument.layers.lastItem () .name;

  ...

  app.activeDocument.activeLayer = app.activeDocument.layers.item (myOriginalLayerNAME);

  I also noted the following:

  app.activeDocument.layers.item (0) points to the first layer of your document; not the 'active'. Similarly, app.activeDocument.layers.lastItem () points only to the very last. I don't know if the order of the activeDocument.layers array mimicks the order as shown in the tags palette, but I hope for it :-)

  To get/set the active layer, use app.activeDocument.activeLayer as shown above.

• Photoshop CC - can't control + click to select a different form while using the tool pen?

  I used the tool constantly feather in photoshop cs6 and would often use control + left click to select a different shape using the pen tool.

  Now, I have to switch to the move tool to select another layer? Why this feature has been removed / changed?

  Difficulty: After sleeping more, here is how I fixed it:

  The new Direct Select tool by default is set to layers "active." Switch to "all layers".

• How can I prevent Pages 5.6.1 selecting the invisible when I change the text in bold, italic, etc. on a new line

  This is starting to annoy me a lot and I have not found something online that will solve this problem.

  Let's say I'm editing a file.

  

  Now I say "Oh, I need to put a"BOLD"two lines after the second 'Cogito ergo sum'"- so I go to this line and press Cmd + B (shortcut for "BOLD") and in this case:

  
  He selects the invisible! Now, let's say I write about it

  

  It disables the "BOLD"! What is the point of this? This makes me press the shortcut and then I have to press the arrow to the left. That you understand it's frustrating because it's a waste of 4 seconds, every time I want to change the style of the last line. And for someone who publishes an entire document, it is VERY frustrating.

  Can someone help me?
  I hope it's a clear description of the problem

  When you use the attribute text keyboard shortcuts, it's a good idea to show invisible, so that you know where click to place your insertion point - before selecting the keyboard shortcut. If you want to use these shortcuts, you must adapt to the way in which the Pages to do things and not try to make it work like MS Word.

  When you select the paragraph marks, the following keystrokes will remove them, right as well as your sense of humor.

• Select the layers when you export an Indesign book in PDF format?

  Hello

  I created a book consisting of separate Indesign files, each containing different languages. Each language is in a separate layer.

  Then, I created 4 different book, each of which contains about 5 files. This makes me 4 pounds with all the languages spread over different layers. When I export the book in PDF format, I would like to be able to select the language layer, so I can create a PDF file by language. I can open each file to hide all layers of language except the one I want to export, but it is a tedious job.

  I'm wandering if there is a faster way to export in PDF format each language without having to open and re - register each separate Indesign file.

  Thanks for all the comments.

  :-)

  Why do you need to omit the French layer for a book in German?

  Just export all the layers.

  Then, in Acrobat, turn off the French (Italian, Spanish, English?) and leave Germany exposed.

  Save as "Meine tollen deutschen Buchmarkt.pdf.

  Then, turn off all the layers except the format, and then save it under "my book excellent francais.pdf.

  I promise you that no one outside of a very few people will ever know that diapers with other languages hidden there. Almost anyone who uses Acrobat knows there is to all layers. (Except the brilliant people on this forum)

• Impossible to select the layer.

  I make a film of typography. I am now at the part that I do a composition of each 5 layers. But after several times I'm stuck. Because as soon as I select a layer I select the publication I've done. It's just scared because I still get the error when I'm away in. Losing hours of work.

  If you never turned on, how ' end Open GL?  It should be off, too.  After these two easy to do things, you can dig deeper in the previous proposals if necessary.

• Cannot select the layer via CTRL + ALT

  Hello

  If my memory is good, in CS3, I could ctrl + click on the layer alt while using the Brush tool. I can do is more in CS4. To do this, I first have to click on the selection tool, and then ctrl + alt click an image to select its corresponding layer, which is not a time saver. In any case, am I doing something wrong or avoid to activate certain features? Thanks in advance.

  Select the move tool and make sure automatic selection is checked and it is set to layer in the Options bar. To select another layer simply Ctrl + click on it in the document (no need to the ALT key). Is that what you want?

• WIN8 cannot select the user when connecting more

  I used to have the option to select the user to connect as but now I have a screen that says:

  Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete or use the Windows Security button to unlock

  When I hit Ctrl + Alt + Delete I get only the most recent user login.  If I hit the left arrow right top left of the image, I must return to the Ctrl + Alt + Delete screen.  There is no way I can see to select another user.

  If the current user remembers actually disconnect from the screen Ctrl + Alt + Delete I am taken to a login with a choice of the users screen.

  This used to work and I don't know if my 5 yo changed something or if a updated Windows did something.  But my wife and son both need to use this notebook so I really need separate accounts.

  I found a few long really complex stuff on the ' net on the definition of the strategy group and fiddle with the registry but I know my 5 yo did nothing like that.

  How do I change back?

  PS what is the "Windows Security button" anyway?

  I realized that I had recently installed Cisco AnyConnect VPN software to connect to the work.  Which of - installed and now life is still happy.  I will contact Cisco.

  Sorry for the short reply above.  Validation has been broken here earlier today and several machines at the same time making a response and a new post, I didn't type a bunch just to get the "Oops, something went wrong" again.

• Select the layer name

  I need to select a specific layer or group by name.  What is the correct syntax to do this with Javascript?

  you want to select all the items on the layer? or only some types (e.g., blocks of text, groups, paths)?

  Let's take a look at the same time.

  Let's start by selecting all the elements on a given layer (in this case the layer is called "Target layer");

  Note that pageItems means that any element of art in the document. could be text, could be a path, can be a group, could be a compound path.

  var docRef = app.activeDocument;
  var layers = docRef.layers;
  var myLayer = layers["Target Layer"]; //this defines the layer that you want to get the selection from
  
  docRef.selection = null; //ensure there is nothing in the document selected already. this way you only get the selection you want.
  for(var a=0;a
  now lets do the same thing, but we will choose just the groupItems
  var docRef = app.activeDocument;
  var layers = docRef.layers;
  var myLayer = layers["Target Layer"];
  
  docRef.selection = null;
  for(var a=0;a
  and finally, in order to be comprehensive, allows to select two different types of art objects, but not all types. For example, if a single layer has text blocks, groups, paths and transparent traces. Let's just select managers of related texts and groupItems. This time we will have to include a conditional statement to find the correct item types.
  var docRef = app.activeDocument;
  var layers = docRef.layers;
  var myLayer = layers["Target Layer"];
  
  docRef.selection = null;
  for(var a=0;a		   

• How to set the slider tool to select the tool when opening acrobat XI 11.0

  I need the tool to default to the Selection tool and NOT the hand tool slider when you open Acrobat XI 11.0

  Hi mkwillden,

  Once you select the "Select" tool any subsequent launches of the software should keep the 'selection' as default tool.

  If this isn't the case, you can specify the parameter registry here:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\11.0\Selection

  Change the data of aDefaultSelect to Select or by hand as requires it.

  
  

  Kind regards

  Let me know.  Thank you.
