How to constrain angle of anchorage when I pull on a path with the direct Selection tool?

How to constrain angle of anchorage when I pull on a path with the direct Selection tool, as it did in all versions of Illustrator since 1988? New behavior is costing me time.

Open preferences > display selection and anchor.

Here you can constrain the handles

  • Cannot see the whole picture when you move into a smaller template with the direct Selection tool

    Hello!

    I recently got my laptop cleaned in preparation for examinations and such (I'm in high school). As I belong to art class, when Basic programs have been re-installed we also got the Adobe programs, but we got the CC 2015 version instead of the version CS5, we had earlier. After a stressful week, I finally had time to sit and work on my projects aside, but I quickly found a big problem which stops at my work. After re size the image at the size I want, I don't see the whole picture when I move in the smallest area with the direct Selection tool more. Photos I use are generally quite large, that I've tried to work with now are 451mmx338mm after the scaling down and I have a 'framework of standard departure' to 60mmx15mm (I make the bosses), so now I have basically has to guess my way toward a good composition...

  • How can I specify exact corners with the rectangular selection tool?

    Suppose I have an image width 2000 pixels by 1000 pixels high.  Pixel (0,0) is at the top on the left as you look at the picture.  Using the rectangle selection tool, how can I specify an exact size to choose?  Say, for example, I want to choose the area defined by (0,0), (100, 0), (100 100) & (0.100), how can I do this?

    I use Photoshop CS6 on a Mac with os x 10.8.3.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Once you have the choice of the exact size you want. You can move the mouse cursor in the area of selection, then click and drag the selection. If you have guide lines and align the guideline allowed the selection will jump to your guide line when you drag it close to them.

    If you set line guide first. When you drag a selection section should align with your guide lines.

  • the direct selection tool - how not to move the shape/path?

    This thing drives me to work my anti-stress ball: when I touch a path with the white arrow, I'm always first in a mode where the path may be moved. But I want to move a blink of an eye or the handle - is there a place where I can put this tool to do not move or or to select never all the way? I have the normal selection for that tool! I think I watch something. Thank you!

    orangestuff,

    You can edit > Preferences > General and then uncheck the box use area select, but it means that you need to knock or drag on the path when you use the normal selection tool.

    And it's always good to be able to make a success and train your finger to spring.

  • How to make a straight line with the Quick Selection tool?

    Hi, I'm experimenting with Photoshop CS6 and wanted to autofocus on poles and the alley only, everything is blurry (the sky, cars, trees and higher levels). The image shows a better idea of what I mean. I am currently using the Selection tool quick to fill between the poles, then using fuzzy area, but is at - it a faster and more efficient way to do this? In addition, the quick selection tool is not perfect and shows jagged - like of the spots along the edges of the poles. I thought maybe it's posible to right field line as a box between poles and blurred in this way?WP_20130806_12_45_41_Pro[1].jpg

    You would like to use the Polygonal Lasso tool to create your form of selection. Once you use blur filters, this will create a cutting edge on the mask. Select the mask in the layers panel and then apply a Gaussian blur to the mask to smooth the edge. (or use refine edge)

  • When you add points on the path with the pen tool, it will always add handles almost anything?

    I'm stumped... I have used several times before the tool pen without problem. I use Wacom Intuos... but have also disconnected and used touch pad and the same thing happens... I want to add a track with the tool point pen to move and create a perfect angle and no matter what I do the pen creates the point with handles and, of course, with handles, it becomes very difficult to create and move a corners with the direct Selection tool... It certainly could be Windows or some other internal force creating the problem... I have three versions of Photoshop installed on my Alienware... Photoshop 6, CC2014 and CC2015.5.1 and it happens in all versions of three... If I'm a fool for lack of something obvious please let me know... If it's something I'm missing or have forgotten that I'd appreciate any help I can get... Peace and thanks

    The default behavior is. I just hold down the alt/opt and then convert the point at a point without handles.

  • How to create a 2nd selection using the elliptical selection tool

    I try to create the outer edges darker IRIS with the elliptical selection tool. I am trying to elect the iris and then create another selection of the iris 2nd with the elliptical selection tool. This does not work for some reason any. I work from the examples and exercises in the book "Portrait Professional retouching TECHNIQUES for photographers using Photoshop" by Scott Kelby. But for some reason, the tool does not work and I'm going through the procedure of Scott Kelby said to do. After I have selective elliptical selection tool, I do a circular selection around the Iris then after I adjust the size of the selection, I go to the "Sélection" menu and choose "MAKE SELECTION" then, command - click a selection handle to help it adapt to the Iris; Then I press on and hold down the SHIFT key and select the other Iris. This allows you to create another selection on the 2nd Iris. This is the part that is not work - the creation of the second selection on the 2nd Iris.  can someone help me with this problem?

    Too bad I found that I had to have the selected squre which has been added to the chosen SELECTION. When I did that I could add to my selection

  • How to access the tab 'Save all' when I close several jpeg files that have been adjusted with the "color adjust tool? He is currently making me close and save one at a time. Thanks for any help :)

    How to access the tab 'Save all' when I close several jpeg files that have been adjusted with the "color adjust tool? He is currently making me close and save one at a time.  I've just upgraded to El Capitan.  Thanks for any help :)

    I assume that you use the application overview.

    I can't find an answer to back up everything, but a workaround could be while the file menu options are visible, press the option key

    and the point of the window will become close, if you click on that dialogue will ask you if you want to restore the changes or save

    pressing Save will close the image with the changes and then move to the next image and so on.

  • Select all the points when feather fill/close a path of the tool. How can I STOP doing this?

    Is it possible to change this behvior?

    Hi Schriftenhaus,

    In CS6, the path is deselected, but still actively targeted. Vector was significantly redesigned after that, and it seems that the default is now to leave entirely selected. I personally prefer, but I understand wanting to option. I don't know any preference to change the behavior, though. Press A (for the selection/direct selection tool) immediately after the drawing by clicking away from it désélectionnera it.

    The link below is to the feedback of an Adobe forum. You might put a request for more options tools, explaining how have completely selected path after you have closed the way disrupts your workflow.
