• SELECT and mask question

  Hey everyone, in the Select again and the mask is possible to rotate the screen?

  Feels probably more natural to make some choices at an angle. (Just a guess, if.)

• Drag and drop question - Desktop and USB

  Hello!!

  I have an Asus laptop that I bought in September with Windows 8 is installed. I saw drag and drop questions on desktop lately, and I'll provide you with a full run down of what past:

  1. this particular case, I wanted to save my mobile by copying and pasting all the files from my phone to a USB (USB Kingston).

  2. I selected all files, right click to copy, open the folder that I made in the USB for my phone content and do a right-click Paste.

  3. nothing's happened, Explorer seems to have frozen, so I opened the Task Manager and press end task, all closed and restarted my laptop.

  4. I have excluded that my phone was the issue. I was able to create a folder on my desktop and copy and paste all of the content of my phone in the folder on my desktop.

  5. I tried to copy and paste / drag and drop an image from my office to the flash drive. Explorer Windows freezes on the rise again.

  6. I tried another flash drive. Explorer Windows froze again.

  Apparently I'm unable to copy files ON a USB key, which makes the backup and backup of things a headache because Windows Explorer stops working every time.

  I am the only user of this laptop, and I don't know what is happening or what to do. Any help would be appreciated. Windows 8.1 upgrade would solve this problem?

  Hi Karthik,

  1. There is no error message.

  2. I tried earlier drag - move my documents to my flash drive and it works perfectly.

  I just tried again to drag and drop from my office to my flash drive and for some reason, it works again.

  I don't think that was with my flash drives, but with Windows Explorer itself. Nevertheless, it seems to have fixed itself somehow. Thank you very much for your help!

• Select and artifacts of mask using the new refine edge

  Hi all

  is - that someone else has had this problem since the last update version 2015.5.0 Photoshop?

  I find strange artifacts when using select and mask and the new brush refine edge that would not happen in the old refine edge.

  The Alpha channel looks good but the image shows of strange artifacts and blurry tasks and resembling traces of brush end hard.

  I took the time to correct my mask in order to remove any traces of brush hard edge, but they seams to still be there. I find it very frustrating.

  

  Hmmm... think I just found the answer to my question. I got the color box to decontaminate tiquetee.

  I have hidden without this box and the blur and artifacts disappeared. My recommendation for anyone making high range of editing and masking is to leave this box unchecked.

• Select and mask | Problems with the selection in the process of disappearance - CC 2015.5

  Hi all!

  I've just updated Photoshop 2015.5 CC version.

  I am currently working on a design that needs cutting contours.

  So I picked all the areas belonging to the background of the image and then click on the "select and mask" to refine the edges and then clear my selection as I usually did.

  But instead, my selection disappeared...

  My steps were:

  1. Selection of the areas to clear with "themagic wand tool.
  2. Click on 'select and mask' (output parameters: output to the selection).
  3. Click on 'OK'.
  4. Selection has disappeared!

  I have provided all the tools to their default settings, but nothing has changed.

  I tried to close and reopen the case, repeat the steps to delete the background, but I always feel the question.

  It is a big problem for me!

  I hope that there is someone who could help me/us with this!

  Best,

  Joanna

  I actually asked the new workspace me first thing after update, because I wasn't getting.  It's different enough that you need to learn everywhere, I'm afraid, but it is definitely an improvement when you become familiar with it.  See Julianne Kost guide below, but I suspect that you may need to adjust the sliders that control the opacity of the background.  Or simply click on the transparent part to start the selection.

• PDF files: How can you save a file so that you can select and copy some text?

  I have some difficulty to save PDF files in photoshop.

  I saved a handful of PDF files, but I am only able to select and copy the text in some areas. These files have different areas that contain text. You are able to highlight a part of the text, but in other areas, you can not (even if they have the same font).

  The question is, which gives the text the ability to be selected and copied during registration as a PDF document?

  Including...

  Using BOLD, ITALICS or ALL uppercase in the settings of character disables the ability to highlight and copy the text once the file is saved in PDF format.

  This is my entire script with notes to help, my script does not work it telling me there is an error on a different line every time that I run and the line indicating the error is on is something simple like .alignChildren = 'left '; I'm at a loss as to why it has stopped working.

  My question is, after I get it going again once I made a mistake when I wrote this, because I was looking at him with an element of single path to make sure that he moved to the model, resized and saved but when I try with a bunch of different objects, it breaks even if try to group them all together first.  It will not be the entire selection copy(), so I added a section to the script near the 50 line that takes all the elements of the path of the selection and puts them in a group.  I'm going on this and that and running it and test it because I had that done and I can't make it work, I am at my wits end and looking for help.

  What I need to do is the following in the correct order;

  Copy();

  openTemp ();

  Paste();

  centerArt ();

  resizeart ();

  SaveFile)

  putname ();

  separately each function works fine but when I try and put together something breaks.  I'll post the script that I use for the savefile() in the next post.

  most likely, the problem is copy(), paste(), the dough isn't reliable, instead, you can duplicate the object to a target document, then first, when you open your model, return a reference to, so you can use it to move the duplicate group.

  See my comments with @, I have use savefile() or putname(), I'm focused on resize() and center()

• Adobe Presenter 10 Drag and Drop questions - grey area only when you try to create

  Hello

  I try to create drag and drop questions in presenter 10 and after clicking on Add Question-> drag-and - drop, the new window opens but where I should be able to define the questions etc., the screen is just gray. Have the same problem on the three other systems as well.

  Flash is updated to the latest version as well as presenter 10.

  Oddly the Flash version installed is 15, but a right click in the grey box shows me version 11.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Chris

  Just in case someone else has the same problem, a cat with Adobe brought the solution:

  On the gray screen, right click and go to global settings

  Go to the Advanced tab

  Scroll down and click on "trusted location settings.

  In the window 'Trusted location settings', click on 'Add' at the bottom

  Click on "Add a folder" and select "Local disk c".

  Click "Ok" and confirm on the "Trusted location settings" window

  Worked for me (on three different machines) like a charm!

• Compare the implementation plans for SELECT and DELETE

  Hello
  
  Version: 10.2.0.3
  
  I REMOVE slow running in the Production db. I can't import and data, or run the REMOVE to get the Plan. For now, I managed to get the history of the plan.
  
  However I would like to know if it is reasonable to assume the plans to SELECT and DELETE the same?

  Do not understand your question.
  Because I can very easy do a:

  explain plan for
  remove from... where...;

  And then take a look at the plan generated in the PLAN_TABLE.

  However, I guess that plans for a DELETE and a SELECT statement must be the same, because they need to finish work on the same data, in any case...
  A simple test showed that I'm right.

• the page is rendered and loaded questions of list item change

  Hi all
  
  I have 2 questions, I'll try to put it as clear as possible. The link and log in info on the bottom.
  
  1. in what order is the rendered page fire? In other words, I have a report to Page 2 (Payroll Summary) and in this report, I select and where clause. The where the info from the article comes from a list item. When you view the report it shows nothing, so I guess that because the element is not filled in and yet, this is why the report does not. Not sure... so if someone can clarify that for me, it would be great.
  
  2. when I change a list item (eg. Payroll between 2010 and 2009 year), how can I refresh the payoll report that uses the year of payroll as a parameter? is it possible to launch the summary report on the Payroll when the year changes? If so, how?

  Emeric,

  When the page is sent after the selection value is changed, the prior to execution of the header calculations. I added a condition on the calculation, so that it only works when the value of the element is set to zero.

  Thank you

• Going crazy trying to select and move multiple points of tempo

  I tried to move a whole bunch of tempo of a bar points to a spot 4 bars later in my project. First time this... For the life of me I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong as I * try * follow the steps here: Logic Pro X: move and copy points of tempo

  Here's a quick screencast to choose me (while holding the CONTROL key) and then drag (hold down CTRL key):

  https://youtu.be/HpLHQbV4y9U

  (The editor let me not insert a video this time so I downloaded on YouTube instead.)

  I tried dragging dragging the first point of tempo, dragging from the last point of tempo, a place randomly in the Middle the selected points. I also tried now the shift and CONTROL simultaneously select and drag when he did not work on the other hand, only because the instructions mentioned the option to SHIFT + click in the selection. Finally, I tried the same thing while now the SHIFT key instead of CONTROL (don't wait not that it works of course because the instructions didn't say to do, but I tried the way described several times and she didn't).

  Get these points of tempo settles is the last detail in a huge song that ended the case

  There must be some small detail that I forgot the instructions. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

  Use the smudge tool to enter the automation of tempo and move it left or right...

  

• In writing e-mail, addresses are not sorted for easy selection and often appear in red when found (V31.3).

  A small 'feature '...
  Using Thunderbird 31.3.0 on WIndows 7 and Windows 8 (2 different machines).
  In the "Write" e-mail window when you try to select addresses from the address book, the address list is not sorted. Type the first letter of the address, the unsorted list is presented, on the typing of the second letter, 2 letters are disaplayed in red. If you scroll the list to find the desired address, it can be selected and the email is sent ok (it shows just the address in red).
  Thank you.

  Keep typing. Search now uses 'contains' while in the past he has used "begins by".

  Red is a bug and no real consequence as long as you are careful to accept such address offered.

  More concern with the current version is that it would have been is not always check the address you have chosen. I don't know what triggers what I was not able to replicate.

  Anything can be corrupted on your MacBook Pro, but from what you say, it seems that the cable drive/SSD/flash memory/SATA hard was seriously damaged. Him "question mark" means that your Mac is unable to find any bootable device, meaning that it does not yet detect your OS X drive.

  You should make a backup of your files (if you can still do it) and take the Mac at the Apple Store or dealer to get a diagnosis. There may be several damaged parts.
