I CLICK ON ONE LAYER AND OPEN ANOTHER

Hello.  I'm having a problem with selecting the layer I want to work in in Photoshop CC.  Let's say I have a white background.  I'm on the Type tool.  I click 'create a new layer' .  In the Layers panel, it now says: [ T ] Layer 1.  On the page I now type "1111".  Back in the Layers pallet (for no good reason) I mindlessly click on  [ T ] Layer 1 and it turns into: [ T ] 1111.  I didn't ask it to change its title to that, but it just did.  So I think, well, I'm not finished with this page, so I want to get right back on it.  So in the Layers pallet I click onto what is now called: [ T ] 1111 (to let the layers panel know I want to work on that same page again), and what does it do?  It doesn't let me work on that page.  It makes a brand new layer called, once again: [ T ] Layer 1. 
After tooling around with this all day, desiring to type onto the layer that I selected, I made a discovery.  If I click first onto the desired layer in the Layers pallet, in this case: [ T ] 1111, and then click exactly on top of the writing on the page itself, I will be allowed back onto this layer.  But if I click onto any white space around it, it will create yet another layer in the Layers pallet.
After Googling around, I thought Oh.  Maybe this is because my Auto-Select is on?  I did in fact use it before.  So I click it off.  No difference.  I shut Photoshop on and off.  No difference.
I'm wondering if anyone else has met this challenge?  And if you'd be able to help me I'd be really and truly grateful!

First thing to try is reset Preferences.  I can't see what OS you are using so
Hold down Shift Ctrl Alt immediately after starting Photoshop (Shift Cmd Opt on a Mac)
If still no joy, are you using a mouse or tablet as your point device?  Is it problematic in other apps?
Try working through this
http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-mos t-issues.html
If still stuck, we need to know Operating system?  Photoshop CC or CC 2014?  any hardware that might be an issue (i.e. Wacom tablet or Cintiq, wireless mouse, trackpad etc.  Any other information that would help

  • Closing one GUI and opening another?

    Hi guys,
    (I didnt really know which forum to post this in, so apologies in advance if this is the wrong one).
    I have created a login screen for a system, LoginScreen.java, which accepts a username and password and checks these on the server for validity. This all works fine.
    Once an account is accepted as valid I would like for the login screen to close, and the actual main GUI, Client.java, to open.
    Can anyone tell me the code for doing this? (closing one GUI and opening another).
    Please ask if you need more information on my code.
    Many thanks!

    You can make the Client.java as your main program then just call the LoginScreen.java.
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class Client extends JFrame {
    public static void main (String[] args) {                     
         Login log = new Login();
         log.show();     
    // Here you can put validation if the user is valid before displaying the main GUI
    // If valid user
         Client clt = new Client();
    clt.show();     
    // } else {
    // System.exit(0);
    public Client() {
         super("Client Java");
         setSize(400, 300);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    class Login extends JFrame {
    public Login() {
         super("Login Java");
         setSize(200, 300);
    }

  • Closing one applet and open another...

    Hi all,
    What I currently have is a very basic applet that requires you to type in your password and follow by pressing the OK button. What I want it to do is following the pressing of the OK button, I want that initial applet to close and have another applet open. It doesn't seem too over the top difficult but right now I have no idea. Please help.
    Thank you

    I do work with applets. Reply #4 is the correct one IMHO.
    If you don't understand what he is saying, I will try to put it
    in other words.
    1. Login dialog. Once your applet starts, it will display nothing
    essential, perhaps just a nice background and it will open a
    dialog for userid-password. If authentication is ok, close the
    userid-password dialog and display in your applet whetever you
    have in mind.
    2. Card layout. Your applet will start by asking for userid-password
    in its area inside the page. When authentication ok, display whatever
    the applet is supposed to display.
    In both scenarios, there are no two applets, but a single applet that
    changes from state 1 (authentication) to state 2 (display data).
    The only difference between the two scenarios is aesthetic,
    i.e. do you want a popup for userid-password or you want it inside the
    page? I would go with the card layout. Both are relatively easy.

  • Close one vi and open another

    Hi
    Is it possible to open another vi when I click a button and close the current vi.
    thanks 

    Here, try this. Enter the path to the VI you want to launch and run the program. When you press the button, the VI you specified will be launched and the program will be closed.

  • Click on link in one portlet and open in another portlet

    how do you click on link in one portlet and open in another portlet?

    Hrmm... This is a IBM Question..
    Officially this is a meaningless buzzword promoted by IBM. Portals are some sort of Servlet but IBM incapable of explaining how they differ from ordinary Servlets. Some speculate they are used to present a webpage with many services on it such as a search engine, and news that come from diverse sources. The user is able to dynamically configure the contents and layout of the page much like Netscape home pages
    I don't understand what yhour asking..
    I am assuming you want to call another servlet (portlet)? That would be absurd to do .. You let the HTTP request and XML file to deal with the response of the portlet

    Sorry for not getting back with you...
    That moves only the iTunes media, not the iTunes library (which is really kinda nebulous).
    iTunes library = iTunes folder and all the media, wherever it is located.
    The /Music/iTunes/ folder contains the iTunes library.itl file, which keeps track of everything in iTunes.
    I do however still have the original MAIN startup drive still in the computer, it's just not the startup.
    This is good you still have it.
    Try this...
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select Choose library... and select the /iTunes/ folder on the original drive. It should be in /Users/your_user_name/Music/.
    Don't mess with anything. We can get it cleared up.
    Does everything work okay?

  • How can I give a name to excel sheet and open another one?

    Hello!
    I use CSVWriter for writing in excel file.
    I have 2 questions:
    1.     How can I give a name to a Sheet in excel file?
    2.     How can I save the first Sheet and open another one with a different name?
    Thanks!

    This is the equivalent in Apache POI which may or may not help. I've never used CSVWriter.
    HSSFSheet sheet1 = workbook.createSheet("sheet1Name");
    HSSFSheet sheet2 = workbook.createSheet("sheet2Name");Then you can use either sheet object to write your contents. Look at the documentation for CSVWriter that pertains to sheets as it should tell you how.

  • How do you take information from one layer and switch it to another?

    I am trying to figure out how to take pictures and text that I have already placed on one layer and switch it to another layer. I have like 50 pages worth of information and I am trying to look for the easiest way to do this. In illustrator and Photoshop, its pretty easy. Wanting to know if it is the same because I have been trying but it is not there. Just in case it matters, Im using CS5 on a pc. Help is greatly appreciated.

  • Insert one table and update another???

    Hello,
    I was wondering if it is possible to insert a record in one table and update another another record in a different table.
    I have a form on my company's intranet that allows employees to add comments (ADDT Insert transaction) about new products we are going to bring to the market. At the same time, I would like to count the numbers of comments on a particular product and update that number for each product to see which product is getting the most reviews.
    Right now the products are on the homepage with the title and inserted date. From there, the employees click on the product get the info and make comments about it. The problem for me is that I would like to see the comment counts for each product on the home page, which means I would have to update the product table with the count.
    Sorry, I am using PHP as the technology.
    When I used to do it in ASP, I would insert the comment using the POST from the form, but add another hidden field with the count in it and I would use the "Command" Server behavior to retrieve the number and update the other table field.
    I noticed that dreamweaver removed the "Command" server behavior when using PHP.
    All help is greatly appreciated
    Charles.

    Hi Charles,
    you can generally execute queries on a different table using Custom Triggers, and in regards to your "update the product table with the count" scenario the ADDT help file has a helpful pointer in the chapter "Custom transactions and triggers : Save additional information on login" -- in here you´ll find a sample "incremental counter" query which should be easy to adapt.

  • When I close Firefox and open another instance of it to look at a new site I get a pop up window telling me Firefox hasn't shutdown yet.

    When I close Firefox and open another instance of it to look at a new site I get a pop up window telling me Firefox hasn't shutdown yet. I am aware of tabs, but I prefer to just open new windows.
    Do I really need a pop up window telling me that I just closed Firefox? Is there a way to disable it in options? I can't even use Buzof program to auto click for me. I've never had this issue with any other browser and I find it incredibly annoying.

    I am not clear what you mean by:
    ''the program will only alow 1 website for each time I boot my machine,''
    Are you talking about Firefox or something else in the above statement. Firefox will, or should allow you to open quite a few tabs at startup if you wish, although it will be faster the fewer that you do open.
    When you say
    ''I close it the program does not completely close ''
    Again what is happening, what error messages if any do you see, and what exactly makes you think Firefox is not closing properly.
    Presumably you have already clicked on the blue links in my first post and read those articles.

    Hi,
    First of all you should create outbound plug in the window you are trying to exit with plufg type "Exit"
    Then create method handler in the view with this code
            data lo_view_cntr type ref to if_wd_view_controller.
            data lo_win_cntr type ref to if_wd_window_controller.
            data: l_parameter_list type wdr_event_parameter_list,
                  l_parameter type wdr_event_parameter,
                  l_val type ref to data,
                  l_val_url type REF TO data.
            field-symbols: <fs> type any,
                           <fs_url> type any.
            lo_view_cntr  = wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
            lo_win_cntr = lo_view_cntr->get_embedding_window_ctlr( ).
            CREATE DATA l_val type c.
            CREATE DATA l_val_url type string.
            ASSIGN l_val->* to <fs>.
            ASSIGN l_val_url->* to <fs_url>.
            <fs> = 'X'.
            <fs_url> = 'http://your-link.com'.     
            l_parameter-name = 'URL'.
            l_parameter-value = l_val_url.
            INSERT l_parameter INTO TABLE l_parameter_list.
            lo_win_cntr->if_wd_view_controller~fire_plug( EXPORTING plug_name = 'EXIT_PLUG'
                                                                    parameters = l_parameter_list ).
          You can easily change this logic to exit application instead of redirecting to the site
           just changing to
           l_parameter-name = 'CLOSE_WINDOW'.

    I have photoshop cc, and I am used to photoshop elements. In photoshop it wont allow me to just click on a layer, and have it select that layer . I have to click on the layer in the box that shows all my layers in order to select it. I also want it to not only select the layer on the actual project, but put a hashed line around it that allows me to resize it manually, without having to do it in another window. Does that make sense? I cant even get the layer to select. PLEAE HELP. Id also be able to just click on the layer and drag it. It wont let me, and I am confused.

    If you were serious to learn Photoshop, I'd advise you to take Photoshop classes at your nearest community college or some such institution, to take a subscription to lynda.com, to watch all the Photoshop videos at Adobe TV, to google for specific video tutorials on You Tube and for other tutorials in text format.
    Even the Help menu in Photoshop can be a great starting place.
    Don't expect to find in Photoshop the kind of hand-holding features that Elements has and that appeal to beginners and amateurs.
