Locked layer in Photoshop CS4

Hello

I have a layer in photoshop which refuses to unlock. No matter how many times I click on the lock, it just continues to tell me it can not change the layer because it is locked.

The file is in RGB, and I just don't understand. So frustrating = []

Very well! I thought about it. Our lead designer has been out of the Office until a moment ago.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • AppleScript to resize images in Photoshop CS4 will not work in CS6 - help!

    Hi people.

    I am new to this lark script and hope someone can help...

    Our Nigel, unfortunately is no longer with us, wrote a cunning to convert script photographs large size smaller using Photoshop CS4.

    The workflow is the following:

    You open Photoshop

    You have two files, one with the original files and the other which is empty.

    You drag the folder with the original files on the .app and he asks a destination folder (tell you him to use the empty folder).

    The images are then opened one by one, resized, some tape removed and are then registered to the empty folder (formerly).

    Lovely jubbly.

    The problem is when you try to use this app with Photoshop CS6 - it fails at the point of backup files in the new folder which gives this error:

    Adobe Photoshop CS6 has been an error: "unable to get document"075.jpg". (- 1728)

    I fiddled with the script a little and it seems don't not like the section "with options" command 'Save document' (it works fine if I completely remove the fuse "with options" - but I need than LZW compression).  I have trawled through a few similar questions on these forums, but have not been able to track down the problem. It probably doesn't help that I'm not a programmer (just try to translate as I oppose using the Photoshop CS6 AppleScript reference guide).

    Did everyone there knows the problem please?

    The script is below.

    on Open ()pourla)

    set theDestination of (choose folder with guest 'set the destination for the files processed...) ") as text

    tell application "Finder"

    set isContainer to fake

    end if

    Repeat with x in list of files

    set theFileName to name of x as texte

    set outFilePath to theDestination & theFileName

    if theFileName ends by ".db" then

  • I don't have any shade of transparency in photoshop cs4.  How can I import a transparent swatch in photoshop cs4?

    I don't have any shade of transparency in photoshop cs4.  How can I import a transparent swatch in photoshop cs4?

    Help, please.  I really need to address this issue...

    You fill opacity just under the opacity slider. This option is set to 0 (zero) will remove all fill layer but will keep visible regardless of the layer in fact you added (drop shadow, bevel, seamless tiling patterns and so on). Transparent mosaic pattern is not to be texture wood or material, it may be something like lines, bands and so on even with a transparent background.

  • Photoshop CS4. "KeyLines".

    I have Photoshop CS4 and I wish to place a thin black "keyline" around the actual image.

    I used to be able to do so-, but since an update I can not find a way to do more. Please could someone help?

    Just a thought, but you can try to use the style of the glow. Set its blending to multiply or normal mode and its 100% opacity.

    Another option is to use a style of outline.

    These two methods would mean that the person is a separate object from the background. So if you did not, you should choose the person and move it to a new layer.

  • Cannot open files Photoshop CS4 with Photoshop 7

    Hi - I would be very grateful if someone has solved this problem before and can help me.

    I try to send a relatively small (5 MB) file CMYK in Photoshop in layers of my version (CS4) to someone who is still using Photoshop 7, but they are totally unable to open it. I saved using "Maximize compatibility" and there are just 3 layers without layer fancy, no set of layer, effects, and each layer has a transparent background. Whenever someone tries to open it (via file-> open), their Photoshop crashes and to force quit. It will open in Graphic Converter but it is then saved as a flattened, image is not that good. I'm at my wits end what to do to get this to open in the PS7 - someone has any ideas?

    I'm using Photoshop CS4 on a Mac Pro, OS X 10.6.3; they use Photoshop 7 on a G4 867 DP, OS X 10.4.11.

    Thank you very much.

    Deb.

    If someone else should encounter this kind of problem, here's the scoop:

    This is a bug in the analysis of metadata in Photoshop 7 and CS/8 (version 3-6 no problem, version 9-12 without problem).  It is caused by the metadata of the history of the file, perhaps due to the length of history, perhaps because the bits of history about InDesign.  I don't have a Mac OS 10.1 available in the public system for Photoshop 7 debug more, so I can't be positive about the exact cause.  But we know that Photoshop CS2 and later works just fine.

    If you wait 30 minutes, Photoshop 7 end by to load the file.  But that hurts productivity.

    The metadata of the history can easily be removed in Photoshop (or ImageReady, Fireworks, etc.).  But if you copy layers to a new document, the metadata of the history will not be postponed.  Save the copy, and the copy will work fine Photoshop 7 and CS/8.

  • Photoshop CS4 changing police randomly...

    I'm baffled by this one. I created a new text layer and chose MT classic resolution tight like the police. I've entered a single word, entered a space and typing continues. However, everything that follows that the space was Minion Pro. I had to select all of the text and return to the resolution of the MT. What happens no matter what I chose the police. I could start with something like Arial, type a space after the first word that I type, and then the rest of the text entered is in some other random characters. There seems to be no logic to it. I use PS for years and CS4 at least a year, and this problem never imagined before.

    I can't even begin to imagine what goes wrong. Help?

    (Photoshop CS4 Extended 11.0.1 32-bit, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit)

    Offers that you have a typical configuration, they should be on the system drive.

    The police cache will be rebuilt automatically.

  • Photoshop CS4 type tool and paint bucket

    I'm teaching my students Photoshop CS4 and have started to have problems, I've ever met.

    Problem #1 - text tool will not work. We can create a text box and type in it. Text does not appear on the document, but appears in the layers palette. I made sure the layer is on top and text is not too large for the text box font color contrast the background. I have looked at the character and paragraph palettes you are looking for something unusual but found nothing.

    Problem #2 - the paint bucket is "stuck" on one color. Any sample of the color I chose, the color does not change. I created new documents and also closed and reopened the program but that didn't help either.

    Enyone met these problems? How you solve the problem?

  • Photoshop CS4 Extended - can't paint on .kmz 3D file

    Hello, is there anyone who can help me with a particular problem? I try to generate my own D 3 object in Sketchup but in Photoshop CS4 Extended ein can paint on it, even I can with 3D objects out of the library of Photoshop.

    Thank you very much

    alphaplanet2000

    Hello

    Sorry for the delay on the attachment. It seems that this "clearance" and is no longer in the queue.

    I used SketchUp 7 (7.0.10248) (not Pro), so you can update, but I found some useful things.

    It was just using a rectangle pulled up in a cubic geometry. If you use a solid color for each side, export creates a single card for each face. If you leave undefined styles of face of geometry, the export will create UV-mapping that overlaps. And if you use tiling textures, you get really tiny targets which you can't paint at all (as you see).

    To display the mapping UV in Ps, open a diffuse map and then go to 3D > create UV Overlay > wired. This will create a new layer and draw in the triangle UV mapping. For painting, you want to see overlapping triangles, which are quite equal in the region and the opening (think triangulated spaces). The tight angles and small area makes for difficult to project in own pixels targets.

    I hope that makes sense and helps.

    Kind regards

  • Help! problems with photoshop CS4 brushes

    Please help me!
    I have a problem with the PSD, because whenever I want to use the Brush tool, I don't see the entire circle, which usually appear in other versions.
    It is customary to set up, but only to see a piece of the circle.
    P.D. someone knows how it can be configured to use the OpenGL and other tools and off the pixelgrid tool?
    Thanks for the help!

    Make sure that you have installed the Photoshop CS4 11.0.1 patch and you have the latest video card drivers as this should solve your brush (unless of course you hit shift caps lock by accident)

    To temporarily turn off the pixel grid, you can use Ctrl + H. If you want to turn it off permanently, deselect view-> see the-> pixel grid
