  Bridge continues to change the selection of the sort each time that I reopen it the Bridge window... WHY?

  I continue to get "sort by modified date" but each whenever I open it a window that it is for manual selection.

  I searched the preferences but impossible to find something to help.  It didn't used to do this...

  Well, I solved the puzzle myself.

  I noticed that somehow a stray .psd file was stuck in my side bar of the Mac Finder.  Don't ask me how it got there.

  At the beginning I couldn't delete it – until I tried a Mac forum and they suggested I hold down the command key and drag it off... to poof!

  It worked.

  And when I went back to bridge - now the bad behavior disappeared!  And when I close the window Bridge and reopen - the choice to "classify" same home!

  Yay... it's a small step for me, and one small step for computerkind.

• Can I lock the marquee tool to make the only rectangles?

  I lose track of the issue of whether the selection tool is selected - and press M to get, and often this means I get the circle marquee. Is it possible to lock the marquee tool to make a rectangular selection only? that is, I have to reach the top in the Toolbox to make the circle--as was the case in earlier versions of the PSD.

  There is one very annoying thing that I hope that they have considered!

  Correction: Based on the M key is changing your selection Rectangle rectangle, ellipse, then you should go to Edit > Preferences > General and tick "use Shift key for tool switch."

  This will require then you hold the SHIFT key before you press M and your marquee tool will stay on the rectangle.

  The script that I found and modifed begins with a transparent activeLayer. It performs some tasks not necessary because you want to start with a layer with a selection. So instead of modifing the script to change the document mode, I modified the script to work with the other modes. I think that is should now work with grayscale mode, RGB, lab, and CMYK. Note, that I don't have to add a test for fashion and this may fail with other modes.

• Editing audio first in Audition, when the marquee tool, the changes do not take effect or I would like to export.

  Editing audio first in Audition, when you use the marquee tool to get rid of unwanted 'knocking' noise audio, the changes do not take effect or I would export after changes in the spectral display.

  No indication on how to save the changes to the marquee selection tool would be great.

  Hmm.  You did something for the audio in the selection?  It looks not to the file has been modified at all, and the registration option is not enabled, unless a change has occurred.  I suppose you try to remove or reduce the volume of the sound inside the selection rectangle, is that correct?  With this selection, you can press DELETE to remove it completely, or set the volume floating just above the selection of lower button.

  It also seems that you stopped reading, and while that save the selection under will be activated pause, of many other commands will not.

  So, try in the following order:

  1 stop playback.  Is File > Save now activated?

  2. otherwise, do some edit to this file.  You will know that the file is considered 'dirty' when an asterisk * appears next to the name of the file in the files Panel and the top of the editor Panel.

  3. There is no number 3.  I feel confident, one of the first two options will work.  Once the file is saved and overwritten, go back to the first and you should hear the content updated the.

• PS Elements 13 - do not select marquee tool

  Have recently updated to 13 PSE and don't know if I used the marquee from the upgrade tool.  Any effort to select with the marquee tool cause no selection.  It's almost as if the tool does not know the left mouse button is pressed (have tested the left button of the mouse with several other applications, no problems and works of left button of the mouse to other PES functions).  Also tested to ensure that it is not a case of drawing selection lines simply do not - I have try a selection then copy/paste and I always get a dough in the center of the layer.  Tried to reset and reboot PSE without change preferences.

  Hoping someone has seen this before and has any suggestions on what I can try.

  Thank you

  Try to reset the tool. There should be a box with lines on this subject on the options bar of the tool on the right. Click on this to reset.

  Ivan,

  If it's on the rectangular objects, you may have encountered the bug Rectangle Live which is limited to the MAC versions from 10.7 and 10.8, but not of 10.9 (Mavericks) or 10.10 (Yosemite). If all goes well, the bug will be fixed soon.

  Thus, a switch for the Mavericks or Yosemite with a reinstall might be the way to solve it here and now.

  To get around it, in each case, it is possible to develop direct Rectangles to get the normal old shaped rectangles or Pathfinder > unit, or use the scale tool or the free transform tool.

  A more permanent way round that is to create normal old shaped rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

• get the selection instead of the puppet pin tool marquee tool

  I imported a png file in the new composition and wanted to distort the image with the puppet tool, but instead of the puppet pin tool that I always get the marquee tool

  tried to keep Alt, Shift, Ctrl, did not help

  puppet pin tool works fine on the other compositions. It's the first time I encounter such a problem with the puppet tool. What is going on?

  AE CS6 on win7

  First question, what size is this file? I don't see any dimension.

  Second question, it is necessary to have layers in this picture? Looks like you apply puppet pin on the entire fly.

  Third question, have you tried to reduce the size of the file in Photoshop to about the size of your computer and then saving it as a png 24-bit or single-layer PSD or tiff with an alpha channel?

  It is difficult to know because there is no detail about right PSD, but it could be wrong, too much color space, or have another problem that I don't see.

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

  (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

  • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
  • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

  

  Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

  

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  Hello Taperum,

  Thank you for the update on the question and sorry for a delayed response.

  If the problem still persists, there may be a chance that the problem is due to system files, so I suggest you to check the system files are they work very well or not and to check who are trying to run the (SFC) System File Checker tool.

  Scan SFC will be scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

• Change the selection of Illustrator keys

  Hello

  It seems that illustrator adds and subtracts to the selection with the same command: shift + click. I want to change this so that the add command is shift + click while subtraction is ctrl + click.

  This would make things much easier, for example: I have a lot of straight lines at the end of the work. However, the few lines are shorter. I want to select all of the short lines, which vary in length, but are still shorter than adults.

  Currently I select all the rows and then I have to move click on each Sling to turn it off.

  If orders could change, I could select all the lines, then ctrl + click and create a marquee selection barely touch the longer lines, deselection of them. Note This is just one example, I face daily situations, where having the same command for two inherently different actions makes my job of 5 minutes take 30.

  This would be consistent with the many software out there like Autocad, Rhino, etc..

  Is this possible? Thanks in advance.

  Shynn

  You can only wither the Illustrator lasso tool

  Shift = add to selection

  Option/Alt - subtract the section form.

  Pointer tools no will allow you to use access keys as you asked.
