Moves other than the selected layer layers

After you select a layer by dragging in the image box and move other layers above this layer or folder of the group. The first selected layer is more selected, the affected layer is even if I was just dragging inside the picture of my initial layer box. CS4 Windows

Two things to check for

(1) see if the layer is locked.

(2) If you were moving to the origin of this layer and the latter it does not move, look in the toolbar above and if the automatic selection box is checked.

When this box is checked, you can select a layer on the image it self. This can be difficult if there is not a lot of clearance between the two layers as a small image on one of the layers. It would be possible to accidentally select the wrong layer when you try to drag. With the box unchecked, then you have to select the layer in the layer panel.

  • I have the move tool and the selected layer...

    but for some reason, I can't text to line up anywhere. The alignment buttons act as if they are grayed out. Is there something that I am missing?

    There are at least two selected layers (the text layer and the background layer) or the text layer and a selection (i.e. Select all...) for alignment controls and buttons to activate and go down the text of the document.

  • Interactive PDF layers appear behind the text. A script can move them to the top layer?

    I have created a form in InDesign CC (latest version on a Mac under El Capitan). I export the form in PDF format. There are some interactive tooltips (with suggestions on how to fill in each particular field) implemented as buttons. The control keys are static. When I click on the trigger, the bubble appears, when I click on the bubble, it disappears. The problem is that even if the bubbles are set up on the top layer in InDesign, in many cases they appear behind the text layer.

    Is there a script that I can add to each individual bubble that says "when this bubble is active, move it to the top layer?

    This project took over 3 weeks of troubleshooting. In the end I came up with my own results. The answer was "no, it isn't a script."

    With the help of the Adobe customer service, we found that because in the InDesign file, I had the pop-ups on a different layer than the triggers, it was causing a problem of overlap. I found myself by combining the layers into a single, moving pop ups to the elements high on the page in the layers palette.

    Then I exported (interactive) PDF from InDesign and in the PDF file, in edit mode, in the fields Panel, I've selected all the pop-ups and offers them to at the bottom of each page [z-index property]. A lot of manual labor, but in the end, I got most of the results I wanted.

    Hello

    I suggest you to follow these steps and check if that helps:

    a. right click on the Windows Explorer icon

    b. in the menu that appears, click Properties.

    c. in the target box, add the command line switch ' / root ' to the "% SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe" command, using the startup location that you want.

    d. for example, if you want Explorer of Windows to start at the root of drive C, edit the command as follows:
    % SystemRoot%\explorer.exe/root, C:\

  • What happened to the selection of layers?

    What happened to the feature selection layer (control-command + click)? It is totally broken. In earlier versions, it would bring a pop-up menu, by selecting the top layer of that mouse was hit. In CS5, it brings just a list of all the layers, and you have to hunt through the list to the selected layer. GRAND Dérangement. There is a new feature that replaces what Im missing?

    Setting.

    Select the tool move and adjust the settings to 'Automatic Selection' in the control panel.

  • keyboard shortcut. (period) disable the classification in the selected layer

    I can't get my keyboard shortcut to disable the selected layer of ranking to work. Windows has the same Mac keyboard shortcut and I'm Windows.

    I use full screen and want to turn off a layer classification but cannot. I have to go back to the main panels and turn off the eyeball for the selected layer.

    Is it me who can not get this keyboard shortcut from. (period) to work?

    If I go on my pad and think that the. (period) is there, I find myself remove the selected layer using what, in my view, could be the. (period) there.

    This keyboard shortcut was reassigned and I use a pdf of Speedgrade obsolete reference? But this one is 10/12/2014.

    Everything could find your question! Re-entered Sg, played with touches of 'standard' period and paved num. Then tried to turn the NumLock... then, rather than being a temp power gimbal, the period key just to delete the layer selected. Not like a rocker... just delete the layer. Had to go back to history (Ctrl/Com - H) back on my bed.

    Then... you can check the status of your caps lock...

  • Help, please! I can't select the shape I drew with the pentool again... I have the selected layer, but there is no sign of my new shape in my path Panel?  I have been sitting here for days literally and simply cannot make it appear the race that I created

    HI - can help I'm going crazy! !

    I drew a shape with the tool pen (which took me Age..) and I go back an image that I imported, I cannot select once again it.  I can see it in red, but I'm not able to select once again it.  I have the selected layer, but there is no sign of it in my Panel of traces at all.  I tried clicking on the direct Selection tool (about 100 times), I tried the Brush tool.  I've tried everything.  The same thing happened to me the other day...    Please can someone help!  Tania

    It's the plug technique on the subject:

    Using Photoshop | Manage paths

    It contains this point under manage paths:

    When using a shape or pen tool to create a work path, the new path appears as the work path in the tracks Panel. The work path is temporary; You must save it to avoid losing its contents.

    OK, the red, you mentioned is a Stoke you added. Then quick mask is not involved.

  • Problem with 'Create new Extrusion of the selected layer' CC 2014

    Hello, I am experienced with Photoshop but I'm new to 3D text in Photoshop.  I type the text and convert it to a form.  When I choose to create new Extrusion of the selected layer I get the dialog, I don't see in tutorials.  It says "you are about to create a 3D layer.  You want to switch to the 3D workspace?  Yes/No, do not display again. "Which one should I use for the 3D text?

    If I choose Yes, all the panels disappear and the content in the tool options bar (Ribbon?) just under the menu bar disappears.  I have to restart Photoshop to get back on the tool options.  What could I do it wrong?

    Thanks - Dave

    I just chose 'No' and don't look at back.  I love my workspace, just as it is and doesn't prefer Photoshop to change for me in this case especially.

    You bring up the 3D Panel yourself via the window - 3D.  I think it's a good alternative for the Actions Panel, because I don't have any currently working in the 3D world.

    You'll want to see easily if you are working on 3D are 3D Panel and panel properties, among a few others.

    Regarding return your workspace as you like it...  Note the small switch near the upper right of the main window of Photoshop.  That can be used to select a workspace.  I suggest that you experiment and familiarize yourself with the concept of workspaces.  You can set your own and save it with a name, and that can really be useful.

  • Special characters other than the number and the hyphen

    Hi all

    I have a table that has a column named ID. This column contains the employee id, but during the loading of the files in the Tables, some records are contains various special characters. The sould IF contains number and hyphen (-) only. All other characters are special characters.

    I need to write a procedure/function, where I spend that id and check in the table if this ID contains special characters other than the number and the dash and remove it and then check the length of it (say 10).

    It should then resubmit this comment to refer to another ID such as "invalid ID".

    Can someone help me how to write the procedure/function with this feature?

  • How to better convert 01:56 and not lose quality other than the 4 K to 2 k

    If I take a 4 K produce and convert/low res to 2 k by 2 k, importing in a time line am I lose quality other than the 2 k low res? Is it bad for the film? Does make a difference if the position would give me a 2 k vs file to me? It's a feature and I need lower res that it creates a DCP. so I'm concerned about quality. And is it all still do not lose quality on import and export. It seems that I lose 15GB.

    YYou are reducing the resolution, but you're not really lower the quality. There should be no difference between you do it or someone else do it. The file will be much lower in 2K 4 K. It is to be expected.
