How to set up the "move" tool for starting a Photoshop tool?

For some reason, the Rectangle tool is now the starting tool, but I rarely use this tool! I remember in the past, it's always the "move" tool How can I change the start-up tool in Photoshop?

Thank you!

As far as having the tool move selected at startup, your right about older versions of photoshop, be able to do, I think that cs photoshoshop and more, but not in newer versions.

Anyway, there are several ways to do this and here's one:

1. use the following script saved in Notepad (or any text editor) as, for example, Select Move Tool.jsx

   

// =======================================================

var idslct = charIDToTypeID ("TPCV");

var desc4 = new ActionDescriptor();

var idnull = charIDToTypeID ("null");

var ref1 = new ActionReference();

var idmoveTool = stringIDToTypeID ("moveTool");

Ref1.putClass (idmoveTool);

Desc4.putReference (idnull, ref1);

var iddontRecord = stringIDToTypeID ("dontRecord");

Desc4.putBoolean (iddontRecord, true);

var idforceNotify = stringIDToTypeID ("forceNotify");

Desc4.putBoolean (idforceNotify, true);

executeAction (idslct, desc4, DialogModes.NO);

Then in photoshop under file > Scripts > Script event handler use Browse under Script and fix the script for the event Photoshop > starts the Application

  • How can I use the move tool to drag a pixel at a time?

    The move tool is stuck to slam to ~ 20 pixels at a time, so when I try to put a layer of a few pixels, its super frustrating. I don't want to have to use the arrow keys, I should be able to drag whenever I want.

    How can I stop the move tool to slam? I want to hang things accurately. I zoomed to 100% if it makes a difference. I find nothing about this in the preferences.

    You have dvd set that has windows and mac DVD or downloaded PES 11 for your mac?

  • How to set up the generic dashboard for the specified virtual machines

    I have two question about "generic dashboard":

    1. I use the tag to classify certain virtual machines by role QA, DEV or PRD. If I select "Kind of resources", and then select all VM under a label, window "metrics selector" will be watch only "vCenter generated Operation Manager", it does not show metric VM. How can I see it?

    2. If I select the 'Resources' mode, then I'll be able to see the VM metrics on the window "metrics selector", but I must key in each VM name "Label to the area", it takes a lot of time if I have a lot of VM, is there no matter what symbol I can use to match this field with name column "resource"?

    Mode 'Resources like' or 'Resource', both ok for me, I want to just install a widget to display using the specified CPU VM real fast.

    Any information is appreciated!

    You will see that vC generated Ops metric because you are looking at the tag, which is a resourcekind. This switch of resources is "not" a filter label, these are the actual resources. If you want to see all the virtual machines, select the resourcekind 'virtual machine '.

    Generic dashboard is rarely used to show - all - kinds of resources, it is generally used for static selection for specific purposes. If you want to display all types of a resource type and apply a tag filter, you can select a different widget to display this information.

    There is no symbols that can act as wildcards, as you suggest. When you are 'kind of resources' mode, you need not fill out a label for the box.

  • How to use the move tool in CS5 to put two images on an A4 sheet?

    Have recently updated from CS3 to CS5.

    I often print two images on A4 paper.  In CS3, I would simply adjust and crop 2 images to say ins 7 x 5 ins, after that put in place a new A4 size sheet (new file), then using the move tool, I propose the two images on the A4 sheet to separate and print.  Very well!

    Now under the CS5, once I've adjusted my first image and then try putting a second image with one I seem to lose one of the screen.  But on going back via the bridge and by clicking on the image, it appears again - problem is, I'm losing the second image.

    When I put it up a new A4 sheet, or pictures stay on the screen and there is nothing to move.

    Have been in preferences to see if there is something there to help, but nothing appears.

    Anyone know what is happening here and what I am doing wrong that is how to do 2 separate images on an A4 sheet?

    Thank you

  • Unable to get the move tool to place a photo at the top of the page another

    Hello people,

    I am aware that I'm really a newbie to Photoshop (but methodically working my way through Kelby Photoshop 6 for photographers tackle this CS), and I also know that I am a fool at the same time. However, it is time to put my hand up and admit that even the simplest of tasks is beyond me.

    Use the CC version, I have two pictures open in a document. Actually I'm following one of the lessons of Kelbys of Chapter 9. The two images have the same group of three folk poses, same etc, the only difference is that one picture, the guy is looking for the camera in the other, he seeks right to it. The lesson is to place the other photo on top and using a brush and a layer mask to reveal the image where he looks at the camera.

    Seriously, I have tried for 3 days to use the move tool (V) click and drag one photo to the other, but it won't happen just for me. I also tried with my own images, still no difference. This work will be if I use Select-Select All, then copy and paste a picture on top of another, so all was not lost and I can finish the lesson, but my inability to get the move tool to drag and drop gives me major pain.

    I'll be very grateful if anyone can put me out of my misery - like I said I can be a good fool sometimes. A virtual beer to the person who can help you!

    Best wishes

    David

    OK, I assume here that you have opened both images that everyone is in its own document. By clicking on the tabs on the top screen between the two documents and the two images switches have only a single locked background layer.

    You are right in saying: select all, copy, and then paste. It's a way.

    However with the active object (lowercase v on the keyboard) tool, you can place the cursor on the image, hold down the mouse button and drag this image into another tab. While the cursor is on that tab (you're still now on the button of the mouse) documents will pass. At this point, you can now drag toward the center of the document and finally let go of the mouse button.

    If this isn't the case, please post a screenshot of your screen so that we can see how you have photoshop set up. As can the tabs are not visible for example.

    After doing this, you will be able to use the multimedia keys with WinAmp, but you probably won't be able to open WinAmp when you press the 'play' button.

  • How to set up the password disk HARD on Equimum L40-141?

    Hello

    Can someone tell me how to set up the hard drive on my laptop password above please?

    Thank you
    Jane

    Hello

    Have you checked the settings in the BIOS?
    My BIOS contains an option for the HARD drive password parameter.

    But just a question; Why do you want to set the HARD drive password?
    Is this really necessary?

    You need to know if the HARD drive has been fixed, and that something will go wrong, I mean that if you would forget the HARD drive password, the HARD drive would be locked and is no longer usable.
    So be careful with this password if you want to know my opinion; Don t pay.

    My question is: how to set up the tv with integrated antenna tuner? Thank you

    The tuner is already configured!
    You must use Windows Media Center.
    Here, you have to choose the tuner and need to look for available DVB - T channels.

    Notes; Signals DVB - T depends on the country and region.
    In my area I needed an external antenna because the signal is too weak.
