Why choose/change/borders is grayed out

Using Photoshop elements 11 on my iMac Maverick, I'm trying to create color borders around the photos of work I've created, but selection/change/borders options are grayed out. Can someone please tell me why and how can I bring it use please? If not, is there another way to create other boundaries using the rectangle and filling in the selection. I find it not quite accurate.

Hello Halstead. Just tried again, but with the Virgin active layer, after open the STROKE dialog box and clicking on 'Inside', nothing shows only the outline of the selection. What Miss me?

Try a wider line. I used 7px here for demonstration.

    When I try to access XPMode in Win.7 - either, he asks a password that has never been, and most of the adjustments or places to change something is grayed out in the newspaper on the page for XP, or on my computer where there is a chance to change things like "debt", etc.  My registry maybe THAT screwed up?

    While the ants marchimg shows the layer limits what you write the entire document. Only the pixels of the target layer are selected.

    Here are two screenshots.

    I have two documents open in Photoshop. There are three top ob Basemap layers layer a red, a green and a blue.  Second teas of the same size but only a white background layer.

    I aim for the Green layer made a Ctrl + A to select the green channel any note the dotted moving line describing the composite view of the entire document. I followed the Ctrl + A with Ctrl + C (copy).

    I then passes to the second document just a white background layer and did a Ctrl + V after the background screenshot shows the results.  Only the green pixels have been copied to the Clipboard.

  • Why VI call setup is grayed out?

    For some reason I can't access the Setup dialog box to call VI. When I right click on a sub - VI, "call Setup" is grayed out in the menu. No idea why?

    It's probably because you don't save. The call installation dialog box allows you to control when the VI is loaded from disk into memory. If you don't save it, it must be in memory all the time.

    Personally, by the way, I have not used this dialog even once. Why you use?

  • File navigation on OS x using openDlg() - why all the folders are grayed out?

    I am configuring a file and folder browsing dialog that works for the two Win/OSX and with filters to narrow the search to specific file types dialog box. I received a lot of help from another user on the forum (Matias Kiviniemi) in order to obtain the function of filter working - but now I have another problem: a little strange.

    When you browse the files under OSX, all the folders are greyed out!error.jpeg

    You can always navigate (somewhat) via the Favorites list and directory tree button at the top in the Center, but actually clicking in the records does not at all.

    I also tried saveDlg() to browse the files, but I have exactly the same problem with greyed out records. SaveDlg() is not the second parameter (the filter function) to restrict the dialogue to a specific file type - which is something that I need.

    // Utility functions for checking if the OS is Win/OSX
    function isWindows(){
        return app.systemInformation.indexOf("Operating System: Windows") >= 0
    }
    function isMac(){
        return app.systemInformation.indexOf("Operating System: Mac") >= 0
    }
    
    
    // All params below are strings
    function promptFile(dialogMessage, dialogType, extFilter, oldPath){
    // Description: Opens up a file or older dialog window for browsing (Win/OSX)
    // Returns: Absolute path (string) to the file or folder that was picked by the user
    
    
        // File
        if (dialogType == "file"){
    
    
            // Create filter function for the File.saveDlg -function
            var filter = null
            if (isMac()){ // OSX
                if (extFilter){
                    var filter_regex = new RegExp("[^\.]*\."+extFilter+"$")
                    filter = function (file_entry){
                        return filter_regex.test(file_entry.name)
                    }
                }else{
                    filter = function(){ return true } // All and any file(s)
                }
            }else if (isWindows()){ // Win
                if (extFilter){
                    filter = extFilter.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + extFilter.slice(1)+"-files:*."+extFilter
                }else{
                    filter = "All files:*.*" // All and any file(s)
                }
            }else{
                filter = null
            }
    
    
            // Create file dialog
            var path = new File(oldPath);
            // var dialog = path.saveDlg(dialogMessage, filter); // Same kind of error with saveDlg
            var dialog = path.openDlg(dialogMessage, filter, false);
    
    
        // Folder
        }else if(dialogType == "folder"){
            alert("folder diag:\n" + oldPath);

            var path = new Folder(oldPath);
            var dialog = path.selectDlg(dialogMessage);
            while (dialog.alias){
                dialog = dialog.resolve.selectDlg(dialogMessage);
            }
        }
    
    
        if (dialog){
            return dialog.fsName.replace(/\\/g, "/") // Back to Front slashes

    I'll cross post since my last response to the other crossed the moderation and released after you posted this (and it is relevant for this topic)

    There seems to be backup dialog boxes _SEVERAL_ versions

    • file_entry.saveDlg (): file_entry content is the default value, but do not know if he has locked her
    • File.saveDialog (): same as file_entry.saveDlg, but none value of screening. Maybe it is not locked to original dir
    • folder_entry.saveDlg (): looks identical to file_entry.saveDlg, do not know if there is a difference.
    • Folder.selectDialog: seems more versatile, "simply to choose a file.

    You probably just do some trial and error to choose one that fits, what are the rules everyone has. So far I think Mac has no option for "create a new file, but only this extension." Extension filter only seems to apply to existing opening and win (although even there, he hides just, you can actually set different extension in her typing).

    Confusion between the part which is the "grayed out of all cases" it would imply in fact wants the filter even though the docs say it is not. I.e. you'd need to do a filtering function that accepts two folders or files with right like below (not tested)

    filter = function (fileSystemEntry) {}

    If {(fileSystemEntry instanceof file)

    Returns true

    } else {}

    return filter_regex.test (fileSystemEntry.name)

    }

    }

  • Why the Build button is grayed out?

    CS 5.5 MC, S & T ed. Yet 5.1. Win7Pro64.

    My first attempt using again. Try to burn a project Premiere Pro 30 minutes of a / v clips and photos on a DVD SD without creating a directory. Want just the movie DVD + RW burned to play instantly.
    Follow the instructions in step 6 that is to click Build, but it is grayed out. I registered this sequel in 2012. What I don't understand?
    It might have something to do with settings in the properties panel? I'm not sure they should be, because they are not addressed in 5 steps. In any case, I clicked project check and got 2 errors, so I put the first Stop, play the same as the title button. Chronology of the hand is not defined. Operations: No permit. Had no error when I clicked on project to check again.
    Also, as suggested in another post, I tried to change out of build Panel to record DVD and Image, but generate button is still gray.
    I accepted all settings by default when the release was made on a DVD disc.

    The panels menus and timelines are empty. Not transcoded first Pro Sequence.prproj 1920 x 1080, 59,94 frames per second is on the project Panel. The miniature film plays normally on the project Panel. Flowchart panel shows a DVD icon.

    In addition, in the project settings dialog box, the name: Unitilted.ncor is grayed out. I don't know how to change this name.

    Thank you

    What are the instructions you follow?

    If your editing panel is empty, you have no chronology of l. And some of what you set (for example 'first reading' 'Stop') is incorrect. When you want a DVD with no menu and play the video at the start, you set the first play on your Timeline.

    Once you create the project again, you can no longer change its name. You can do a save as and change it.

    In the project Panel, select the order of Professor go in the menu timeline, and then create the timeline. Set the action to the end of the new timeline 'Stop' if that's what you want, or to himself if you want to keep repeating.

  • Data Modeler: changing attribute Table grayed out (in the relational model)

    I use SQL Developer Data model version 2.0.0 build 584.

    I have a relational model of appr. 30 paintings. For some tables, the display of attributes is grayed out, not allowing not of any change of the values. I have a feeling that this was due to an import/merge views of database, but for me this quite annoying because it prevents modelling activities further on these tables.

    Does anyone have an idea what could be the reason for this? More importantly: how to remedy this situation?

    Mark

    Hi Mark,

    Does anyone have an idea what could be the reason for this

    the reason is probably the difference in design name and name in the next item in the XML of the table:

    It is interesting how you did this.

    More importantly: how to remedy this situation?

    You can try ' Save as ' to save the design in a different directory.

  • Why some songs are not grayed out on the tab for you on my iPhone 6?

    Today, I opened the Apple music application. On the tab for YOU, I did a search for Anthology: through the year, by Tom Petty. Eight of the 34 songs are gray and will not play. How can I fix it?

    Background - you can not. This happens with a lot of albums. Sometimes it's because the artist is their label doesn't want certain songs/albums (Yes, even part of the albums) transmitted continuously. Sometimes, it's because these titles are on other albums that are not allowed to be steamed (although this usually happens with compilation albums).

    I just did a quick check and Yes, 8 songs are grayed out. But these same songs are also grayed out on his greatest hits albums. So I guess they are albums that either, he does not want to be listened to or perhaps a different wording.

  • Why are most of my grayed out icons and my programs do not appear in all programs on the start menu?

    My computer crashed the other day. I returned with a system restore. I have scanned for viruses. Now most of my icons (computer desktop and folders) is grayed out. When I click on "all programs" in the start menu, none is listed even though they are still on my computer and still work.

    Hi homeWJ,

    Method 1

    See the Microsoft article below to download and install the fix, check if it helps.

    When you point to "Programs" on a Windows XP-based computer, the program list does not appear, or the list of programs is empty

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then analyze and remove any malware or computer virus infections and check if that helps.

  • Why the menu selections are grayed out?

    I recently bought 14 items. I installed it on my laptop and the application works very well. After installing on my PC, it works only partially. I mean here the selections in the menu layers are all grayed out. This is the case even for a file .psd with two layers.

    I'm running on Windows 7 on both machines. I uninstalled and reinstalled 14 elements on my PC (and ran the updates), but the problem persists.

    Thank you.

  • Why is the export Menu grayed out?

    I used the sharing feature to successfully export a pre draft 10, so that's fine. I also like to try the menu export, say, for when I want to just select a specific file type (for example, .mov) and wouldn't want to drive out all the elements to find (computer/Quicktime).

    When I go to file/export, 'Export' is grayed out. I don't know that there is a logical explanation for this. Anyone?

    File > export is used only for export title files. Everything is in the tab share. Go to share > computer.

    See you soon,.

  • Why is it external change in Photoshop grayed out on Mac

    Using the last OSX on a Mac and have the latest updates for Lightroom and Photoshop and trashed preferences files, I tried everything suggested elsewhere on the Web without success. My "Edit" for Photoshop is gray and cannot be accessed. What can I do else? Can anyone suggest a work-around?

    Hi MUCS80,

    Please make sure that the file is not missing from the catalog.

    Lightroom must be able to locate the file on the local computer or any external drive connected to the computer.

    I hope this helps.
