Moving/helping hand 1/2 a pixel?

Hey there level: Beginner OS: Windows 7 64 bit Ps: Cs6

Is there a way I can move a pixel of object 1/2? Is there a modifier key that I can use with the arrow keys or something like that?

Thanks for your time!

A good question that is!

Earlier versions of Photoshop used to do this according to the zoom level. If you have zoomed in to 100% on the canvas, a helping hand will be 1pixel from your current position of the object. 200% will be 0.5 pixel, and so on all the way up to 3200% who 0.03125px elbows.

In Photoshop CS6, it is a practice little (usually unobserved) present option in the General preferences.

Go to the Photoshop preferences > General > Snap of the vector tools and transformations of the pixel grid - uncheck this option, as shown in the screenshot below:

Once disabled, Photoshop will behave as it did in previous versions. Zoom level control boost. Zoom to 100% than bent 1pixel and 200% is 0.5pixel boost.

Note that this behavior works with the 'free transform' (Cmd + T) or (Ctrl + T) on your object. Normal boost with the move (V) tool will not move 0.5pixel.

Trust that this assistance.

    Hello:                                                                                                                    Level:  Newbie'ish  OS: Win7  Illy:Cs6

    I would like to be able to move an object just a tad which I think would be one-half of a pixel.

    Anyone know how I could continue to do it or is it not possible?

  • I can't tp perform actions on email or some Web sites because the pointer does not change from a helping hand on all orders at the top of a page - any more down works fine

    In Hotmail, for example, I can open any message in the Inbox except the top one, but then I am unable to answer or to take further action because the symbol of the pointer does not change from a helping hand and clicking on has no effect.

    If I try to open the top message from the page by clicking on the command "Open" is gray.

    If I open the type of web page that has a number of menu items at the top of the page, I can't open anything either for the same reason - something more to the bottom of a page is fine. The type of Web site with menus on the sides can be used for all items except the top menu!

  • Changing the cursor for a helping hand in the text and you cannot change the sentence or paragraphs in boxes to listen audio mode

    In Acrobat Reader if you're going to see menu and scroll all the way to ' Read out Loud ' and activate it, you can listen to the texts.  And you can also take the blinking cursor and click on the sentence or paragraph and a box turns around the sentence or paragraph and reads within the selected text.  But in Acrobat DC the cursor flashing in the text box has changed to a f * k * g hand grabber and you stop to select whatever it is!  How can we change back the hand f * k * grabber g in a cursor blinking so I can choose the text I want to listen or to highlight or mark?  Can someone help me on this?

    Hi dales45194090,

    You can change the options to use Select or hand tool under Edit > Preferences > General

    Also, if you have selected "use keys.. accelerators" option, then you can simply press V as the shortcut key for the selection tool.

    If interested I will post a short version of the current .css file. But for the moment, I think that its too long to post. Thanks for the help in advance.

    Have you given some thought tot rebuild the old pages of site with less code?  In its current state, it is undisciplined with all those

    Tags inside
  • labels, , etc...  HTML5 provides a very good opportunity to simplify your code essentially - without all the other stuff.  This would make your CSS a lot less painful to work, too.

    Same for the selection, he sometimes select half a pixel or a quarter, and it is very annoying... I'm wasting a lot of time to check each item every time I put, moving, or by selecting or creating of course it is an integer.

    Y at - there a Posibility to do?

  • Trying to vectorize a helping hand with no luck

    I'm after a lesson from lynda.com to flash animation.  What I'm trying to do is to vectorize an image.  So I traced it with the online tool.  Then I started to add color.  Everything was good until I'm at the point where I had to put a filling in the color of the hand.  He refused to add color.  If I had of course not all connected lines.  Ive tried everything I can think and have taught other classes I have with no luck.  I can't understand how to get the lines to connect fully. I get as close as possible, and they all look.  I used void selection tool and all points seem to be attached.

    I just took a glance at your work. The parts of the outline of the left hand are in three different layers. You will never get it to fill. I entered all the parts of the left hand and copied into a new layer. You have a combination of shapes and drawing objects. This is the central problem. Objects drawn are themselves made up of forms. Draw objects will never accept a fill.

    I did this:

    1. Select all the pieces of the left hand.

    2. create a new layer.

    3 cut and paste in place parts of the left hand for the new layer.

    4. Select all the pieces in this new layer.

    5. Select "Break Apart" in the menu change. This will make each line segment to a shape.

    6. Select the paint bucket tool.

    7. set the size of the Gap at the bottom of the toolbar for "near large gaps.

    8. fill the form, it can take a few fills to fill the entire shape.

  • Distance from arrow key "helping hand".

    Is there a way to change the distance that the arrows to move an object in Acrobat XI? I'm trying to move form fields in very precise position and must reduce the nudge distance. Thank you.

    No, but you can use guides instead. For this first show the leaders by pressing Ctrl + R. You can then drag from the horizontal ruler or vertical guides and place necessary. You can then drag a field and he'll jump to the guide is when the nearest the cursor highlight closer Guide. You can constrain the movement of the field vertically or horizontally by holding down the SHIFT key. If necessary, zoom can give you control over placing guides.

    If you need to align several areas for the same guide, you can start by aligning the first field individually, then selection of her and the other fields, right-click on the first and select: align, distribute or Center > align left | Law | Top | Bottom | etc.

  • Mousetracker does not not on a file Illustrator Comic characters need help?

    Hello guys,.

    Hello

    Hi my name is Darren J. and I created a character in comics from scratch at the end and rolled my silhouette in character animation, but there

    things that do not work as they should, maybe I'm doing something wrong. But hey, step by step.


    The system that I use:

    Well I use the latest version of Creative Cloud Apps (Illustrator CC 2015 Release 2.1 (19.2.19 and of course after effects 13.6.1.6 with))

    Character Animator Preview 3 (x 124) and Photoshop CC 2015 (version 1.2).

    And I'm on a Macbook Pro 15 "with 16 GB of RAM and an SSD 512 GB of the retina. MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inches, mi 2014) main system. Another system is iMac 2011 21, 5inc with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of HARD drive. I use the iMac only to make now.

    The Mac using OS X YOSEMITE 10.10.5 (14F1509) with the most recent updates.

    IAM not planing to change the Mac OS X to El captain, because on my iMac, there are some questions, and I wanted to avoid that on the Macbook.



    I need some advice and help with my comic character.

    I first sketched some characters on my iPad and they focused on Photoshop. After I their door on illustrator and create an illustrator of them file.

    Sketch for Adobe.pngScreen Shot 2016-01-27 at 17.13.28.png

    Everything is OK. As you can see, the port was OK. I'm happy with the result at the moment. I'm planing to add some other numbers, but there are a few bugs or something is missing and I wanted to get the first figure to go forward.


    I started to bring the character to the character animator and I named all the Illustrator layers as the model itself.

    Well, it was a challenge to get the figure from work and talk, but I got it.

    Layers.pngScreen Shot 2016-01-28 at 01.59.48.png

    I named the trackers "Right Mousetrack" and "Mousetrack" left and rolls in the left arm and in the section of the right arm of the illustrator file.


    But the tracker does not host character?


    First I thought. Well, I put it in another part of the body section and it should work, but nothing is happening.

    I saved the file again and make another copy but hmm... nothing happens. Tried to put it in any part of the section of the character and nothing happens.

    I don't get moving his hands.


    Secondly, I thought it was a failure with the Mousetrack, so I change the name 'Draggable right' and 'Left Draggable', as you can see in the screenshot above.

    but nothing happens at all.

    The trackers do not work no doubt, or I missed something good.

    I got my talk about the figure and he moves his head and all right, I can change her hair and put the triggers of keyboard works fine, but when I want to follow and move the hands, then it does not.

    Screen Shot 2016-01-28 at 02.06.14.png

    The mesh of the figure is set to outline because he should get the right mesh to move his hands in all directions.



    Maybe I did something wrong and that's why it does not work. I wanted to put my figure for my tutorials and that is why I need him as an Illustrator file, because it takes not scalable.

    But so far I'm stuck in the place here and not move forward. I am helpless at the moment. I can pass him around the old way in After Effects and moving around him, but it would be easier to get this working in character animation.

    I named the layers as it is supposed to, but I can't drag the hands of my figure. I don't know what to do next.

    What I did wrong?

    Please help me. I hope that this isn't a bug Illustrator or animator of the character.


    Concerning

    Darren


    PS: Sorry for my English but I'm from the Germany.

    First off - this character looks awesome! Work very cool, can't wait to see it in action - please share when you do!

    We are beginning to recommend that users add these handles in animation of character rather than inside Photoshop files or Illustrator - the tool pen / dot solution we have used in the past is a bit tricky, and these applications are not the best at rigging!

    So I remove all the Illustrator files draggable handles and try CH instead. I don't know if you watched the tutorials, but:

    When I run into such problems, I try to put the handles in different layers or groups to see if it helps. So for example, right now, that it seems that the adjustable handles are within the groups of arm - try rather parent group or even a puppet of Darren top-level.

    Hope that helps. If this does not work, can you please send me the file and I'll take a closer look?
