Tool move moves wrong layer...

Something has changed. I always stick a picture on a layer and select the layer and use the tool move to move around until it is placed where I want. Now I paste the image, select the layer, choose the move tool and the selection of the layer jumps to another layer, and it gets moved.

Anyone else having this problem (CS5)?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Take a look in the top tool bar for a checkbox. If it comes to activate you can select a layer by clicking on the canvas, if it is not checked, then you need to select the layer in the layers panel or use the change button to select on the canvas.

  • How to use just 1 click away with the move (v command) tool to select the layer in the Group?

    I'm on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Photoshop CS3 10.0.

    Is it possible to click only once with "V command" to select a layer in a group?

    I used to be able to do and on my laptop I can do now (same OS and Photoshop), but the mac that I use for my design work won't... I must also, right-click and select the layer highlighted. I have a document a lot of multilayer Photoshop with many groups, and it is an extra step of your time.

    Is there a preference I can turn on? Or some other simple typo?

    Thank you very much!

    Select the tool move and set the options of the control bar. By default, it took to select a group, simply change layer.

  • How can I stop the kick/kick to move a layer up?

    Whenever I use the movement or move the tool, Photoshop will move the layer to the top of the artboard. Why would he do that? If I wanted to move the layer to the top, I would have. I'm just trying to move the layer.

    How can I avoid that Photoshop do this?

    Nevermind, I solved this problem. The problem is that when I did drag a layer to the bottom of the stack of layers, Photoshop it moved outside of the artboard. When you move it, Photoshop he retreated inside the artboard, in the upper part.

  • I can't move a layer with the mouse.

    I can't move a layer with the mouse. Only using the arrow. This happened two days ago and could not get the right set of return I guess. Until I'm able to move a layer with the mouse and arrow keys. When you move the layer with the mouse you he almost jumps back to the original space. I'm only using a bluetooth mouse, wired keyboard with a macbook from apple.

  • Move the layer but keep anchor still

    Hi, I know that I can use the Pan behind tool to move a layer anchor point. Now for adjustment purposes that I need to move the layer, but keep the anchor point where it is... otherwise it changes the path of the animation. Is this possible?

    Kind regards

    Frank

    I guess you have your animation path and you want to change the position of the layer to this track. If you simply position keyframes adjust anchor point values in the timeline panel. You can click and drag on the values, so that you can see the movement of the layer from the path.

    If you have animated a layer by setting keyframes in the anchor point so that you can change the relative position of the layer by rubbing through the position values in the timeline panel.

    If you have animated the two position and anchor, then you can open the layer in the layer panel, reveal the path of the anchor, select all the keyframes of an anchor in the scenario, click and drag on any keyframes the anchor to drag all this without creating a new keyframe. You can see and move keyframes from the plug-in position which has properties of position in the layer window and do the same thing.

    You can use the same select all the keyframes in the technical timeline to recover and move a path any position in the composition window.

    If this doesn't give you a solution I don't understand your problem.

  • Problem with the tool move? (Win 7)

    On Photoshop CS4, whenever I select the move tool and decide to move an object in a layer, it moves the object off the screen, making it difficult to bring the canvas to move. I know he's not jumping the layers, because only the object within a single layer, I moved, but I'm the only one who has this problem? How should I do?

    He has only this problem with the tool move, but with scrolling text, text tools tool and the Brush tool, as well. The text tool jump out of the screen and the marquee tool would position the tent somewhere else when I clicked on it to be the Brush tool sometimes jumped on the outline of the brush. Can anyone help?

    Market and stop over the years, I found that Photoshop itself could corrupt if used for a long time.  Or he might not.

    That's how (or if) it does seems to vary depending on other factors.  With some display drivers, for example, sometimes much more.  A particularly frustrating event is when Photoshop just stops where you try a file - save as.  Another, quite common, is that multiple instances of Community Help just start to open jerky.  But probably no matter much what look like symptoms; the source of the corruption, which has been expired for a long time.

    I don't think that it's just a problem, either, but probably several - at least a part of which are due to bugs in the drivers.  From time to time, we hear about specific versions of display drivers, for example, that have been seen to increase the likelihood of corruption.  And some, like ATI Catalyst 11.7 earlier this year, seem to minimize problems.

    What I don't know, because I don't use a Mac, is whether the same situation exists on this side of the fence.  In my heart of hearts, I suspect that it does.  Maybe it has to do with models of memory used under the covers.

    I * CAN * tell you that CS6 is not available yet.

  • Move a layer with a speed controlled by a slider.

    I would like to move a layer (X position) with a speed controlled by a slider of retouching. This would be trivial if AE script supported certain types of global variables. I would just like to add the current speed * frameDuration to the previous value. Any ideas on how this could be achieved given that the AE does not "remember" previous images?

  • Move a layer from one document to another, I get the error message that the layer is empty

    When I copy a layer from one document to another in PS CC 2015.5 and then try to move the layer in the destination document, I get the error message that the layer is empty.  It is not empty and I checked several times and checked that the layer is not empty.  I have never had this problem before and wonder if something has changed in CC 2015.5.

    Thanks to all who responded.  I think the problem was that I was using the NEF files and that he had not yet renamed PSD files.  Copy the layer in the destination document, but when I tried to move the layer in the destination document, I received the error message.  Apparently, he was copying the layer but there not then recognize the NEF format.  Once I saved both documents to the PSD, then the program behaved normally.  I appreciate your all of the help.

    Can someone help with the following.

    I want to be able to count the total number of layers in the document, and move the active layer to the top of the stack.

    Using this code by Davide is ok, but it assumes you want to move the layer to position 2

    function s2t(s) { return app.stringIDToTypeID(s); }; 
    
    var d1 = new ActionDescriptor(); 
    var r1 = new ActionReference(); 
    var r2 = new ActionReference(); 
    
    r1.putEnumerated( s2t('layer'), s2t('ordinal'), s2t('targetEnum') ); 
    d1.putReference( s2t('target'), r1 ); 
    r2.putIndex( s2t('layer'), 2 ); 
    d1.putReference( s2t('to'), r2 ); 
    d1.putBoolean( s2t('adjustment'), false ); 
    d1.putInteger( s2t('version'), 5 ); 
    executeAction( s2t('move'), d1, DialogModes.NO );
    
    

    Rather something like this:

    activeDocument.activeLayer.move( activeDocument, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING );

    ... the two methods roughly the same result but are very different when you move the training center now.

    Thanks for the tip of the expression.

    If the mask is exactly the same size and shape as the shape layer, then you should get the same results.
