Is there a way to maximize the crop box?

Terms: I consider a crop box maximized when it is as large as it can be without exceeding the image size in either dimension. (For an unconstrained crop, a maximized crop box contains the entire image.)
When I first select the new crop tool, it is maximized. If I change the crop box, the only ways I have found to get it maximized again are to cancel the crop and restart -- or zoom in to the pixel level and adjust the crop boundaries.
Am I missing some magic incantation?
(This 'maximize crop' feature is one we have -- and use -- in some other image processing software.)

Howard and Charles -- Thanks. The reset crop box, whether invoked from the options bar or from the right-click menu, does neither what I wanted, nor what I expected. (That's not a bad thing; just curious.)
I set the crop box to 13in by 19in then open a landscape image. It opens with the crop box in place, giving me a portrait crop out of the middle of the image. I rotate the image using the mouse and delayed shift key so it's in portrait orientation. The crop box is giving me the middle of the image (not the whole thing). Fit on screen lets me see the entire image but obviously doesn't alter the crop area.
Resetting the crop box returns the image to landscape orientation. (Not the result I wanted.) Here's the quite unexpected part: The reset cleared my crop box specifications. After resetting, the crop box has been set to unconstrained and is now set to the full size of the image.
I don't consider that a bug -- just a design choice.
Within my experience, the Crop tool is the only one with this kind of "reset" function. In the classic crop tool, we had the CLEAR button. The Reset function is implemented the same way. The difference is that in previous versions, the CLEAR button isn't available once you have drawn the crop box. Even in CS6, I haven't found any other tool with a Reset option. So there is no consistency issue. How Abobe chooses to implement the reset function for the crop tool will become the standard.
And the more I think about this, the more I think Adobe should revisit this decision. I think it would be more useful -- and more reasonable -- for Reset to return the tool settings to whatever the user had specified at the beginning of the crop operation.
Here's what, to me, is an anomoly in the current implementation: The Reset command doesn't reset ALL of the tool settings. Reset does not affect "Delete Cropped Pixels" or "Use Classic Mode" or the View setting.

Is there a way to remove the add box under the google searchbar on the "mozilla firefox start page" ?

I always liked the standard google start page for firefox, but with this new 4.0 there's an ugly add box below the search bar, nagging about "learn about all the cool things" or something named "Spark" or all sorts of other spam.
So is there a way to remove that, or do I really have to change my start page to the normal boring www.google.com ?

Is there any way to HIDE the bounding box??

This is very annoying when trying to crop... command-H does the trick in photoshop (well, for the "marching ants" anyway).
If anyone knows a quick command for this I would REALLY appreciate it... and if there isn't, consider this just another WISHLIST item for the upgrade!

I am trying to crop faces from old family group photos and paste them on to records in Family Tree Maker. When I do this, the pasted cropped image reverts to the original of the entire family. Is there a way of unlinking the original version from the crop

I am trying to crop faces from old family group photos and paste them on to records in Family Tree Maker. When I do this, the pasted cropped image reverts to the original of the entire family. Is there a way of unlinking the original version from the cropped image?

Are you copying the cropped images directly from Aperture's Browser window and then pasting into your family tree?
It would be safer to export the cropped faces as new image files to a folder on your disk, and then drag them from there to the "Family Tree" window.
To export select the cropped image versions in Aperture's browser and use the command "File > Export > Version". Select a suitable export preset from the pop-up menu, for example "Jpeg fit into ..." and select a folder to export to.

Is there a way to access the "Creative Cloud Clipboard" repository outside Adobe Line/Sketch Apps?

Is there a way to access the "Creative Cloud Clipboard" repository outside Adobe Line/Sketch Apps?
For instance via (macbookpro) web, local directory (CC desktop), or mobile web? As opposed to Utilizing the feature purely in Adobe line/sketch?
I mean... I know i could just take screen shots... via the iPad's protocol. However, that would defeat the purpose of creative cloud.
The point of accessing the creative cloud clipboard, is so that I can create Time-Lapse .GIF's of my drawings, Using the "timeline" feature (undo)....which is amazing feature btw.
Honestly the solution for me... would be to have an option to export a .GIF (animated), .tiff sequence, or video file (m4a mov). I would say export options would be 1. File Size & Type (Context...) 2. Detail, # of Slides (How long is your timeline, what do you want to show, what level of detail?) 3. Share (Behance, Creative Cloud Files, MMS, iMessage, etc... 4. Open in... Photoshop, Aftereffects etc...
I think this would be great for..tutorials, multi-media, prototyping (wireframes, character design, etc). So, i'm not saying this should be a heavy set...focal point of the application, after all an animation app all itself would be nice. However, I think a feature like an "interactive timeline" would push users to be even more creative, by hacking, creating ghetto rigged *** backwards ways of prototyping that...actually might be more convenient. This is the story Adobe is trying to tell, the story of process, whats in your head... in the moment. Thats why behance is integrated, because process & feedback + exposure are essential to developing as a creative, so Adobe has put together a great platform...for its users. So, yeah...Adobe.. here's your chance to gain a greater insight into creative process, and integrate it directly into the creative cloud platform. I think it would be huge for Ink & Slide , Behance, and Student-Teacher / Designer- Company relationship.
"Share | Project Timeline " "Intervals | # of images" "Crop | Length (time)" "Crop | Project Area (artboard?)"
Yeah this question took a left turn...but hey.... either or.
EDITS............
***You can copy images to creative cloud files....via the share function in ADOBE SKETCH... thats how I made the .gifs im going to attach.***
***However, in ADOBE LINE, if you try to copy multiple images of the same project, they do not receive unique filenames, thus replacing all images in the saved sequence****

First, to answer your initial question - no there is no way to access the clipboard content outside of the apps at this time.
The idea of exporting a timelapse is very interesting, and something we have been thinking about, but there are already some decent ways to do this. Check out this video of a drawing in Line created by Brian Yap Adobe Ink and Adobe Line Illustration - YouTube
You can create this kind of video using several of the available apps that let you display your iPad screen on your computer using Airple. Some examples are Reflector http://www.airsquirrels.com/reflector/ and AirServer http://www.airserver.com/

Is there a way to use the common J-K-L keystrokes to play forward and backward in iMovie '11?

Is there a way to use the common J-K-L keystrokes to play forward and backward in iMovie '11? Most editing apps--like Final Cut Pro, QuickTime Pro, Avid, etc.--use this convention. I find not having it slows editing down considerably? I don't see it listed in keyboard shortcuts; is there any way to add it? Thanks!

I don't think so. If you click iMovie/Help, you will see a list of all keyboard shortcuts.

Is there a way to stop the OS from switching to a newly opened app? I would like to be able to continue what I'm doing while I wait for an app to launch and not get interrupted by a forced entry into the app.

Is there a way to stop the OS from switching to a newly opened app? I would like to be able to continue what I'm doing while I wait for an app to launch and not get interrupted by a forced entry into the app.
As an example, I'm going to my email in safari, while I wait for it to load, I open an excel document, and the OS decides excel should be the front app, so I go back to safari so I can enter my login info, but halfway through my password the OS decides that excel is where I should finish typing my password.
VERY ANNOYING. Can I open apps in the background?

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. J D, I'm not a terminal fan, but I'm sure it works. I found a solution that I can use in the dock from another post.

Is there a way to get the scroll/scan bar back on the miniplayer?

I'm really not fond of having to maximize every time I want to skip through a song or long audio file.
Is there any way to get the scan bar (or whatever it's called) back onto the miniplayer??
I, personally, felt that was a very necessary part of the miniplayer and I'm kinda choked it's gone!

I don't have to do anything. Here is an example where I just exported a template to epub using Pages 4. (Are you using Pages 5? I have not tried with that, as it is so crippled compared to Pages 4 in other ways that I only use it to test missing features....).

Is there a way to correct the pyramind effect caused by a UWA Lens in Lightroom?

Is there a way to correct the slight inverted pyramid effect caused by a 17-40 when taking interior room shots in Lightroom or do I have to go to PhotoShop to do this? I have found the lens profile correction but are there other tools in LR to use?
What I am seeing is a slight outward shift from floor to ceiling on side walls and need to straighten these walls.
Thanks

Lee,
Found those - thanks! So, I really don't need to go to PhotoShop?
Do I need to crop after adjusting the sliders - in my case, mostly the vertical slider?
Also, can you say a little more about "Upright?" And, if you know, will LR 5 be a charged-for upgrade to LR 4?
Thanks again!

Is there a way to maintain the zoomed in look as my final picture?

is there a way to maintain the zoomed in look as my final picture when I'm editing in
Iphoto?

I have no idea what you are thinking but zooming lets you view a portion of a photo closer. Cropping let's you're move part of a photo leaving only the uncropped portion if you could save (which you can not do in iPhoto) that is exactly what you would get and exactly what would be phased to any other program for further editing
cropping is the only way

I create a birthday calendar in iCal and then click on it in iphoto at the begining of the calendar project each year. Some how the birthday did not populate the photo calendar. Is there a way to add the birthday iCal calendar into the calendar project?

I created a birthday calendar to use in iphoto for calendar. When a new calendar project is started each year, I click on it in. Some how the birthday did not populate the photo calendar this year. The photo calendar is almost complete. Is there a way to add the birthday iCal calendar into the calendar project? I would prefer not to start over.

Hi,
If you first select the calendar on the left, so that its background is highlighted blue/grey, when you make a new events they should be added to that calendar.
Best wishes

Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously?

Hi Apple community,
This is my first go at this so be kind,
My question concerns launchpad. Coming from Snow Leopard I had been using spaces. I like to keep certain bundles of programs on separate desktops, for example all word processing related tasks in one place. I have set up the equivalent on Yosemite.
My problem is concerns the loss of exposé. Now I know when you swipe into launch pad you get a very similar effect but the issue I am having concerns the "zoom out" effect when you swipe into launchpad. With exposé all open apps/pages etc would be fully exposed - in my case several (sometimes as many as 9 word documents). What I am running into is when I do this in / into launch pad the "pile" of docs is exposed but they are still overlapping so I can't get a good look at which is which and visually identify where I want to navigate to.
My question is this; Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously? If so, instructions on how to do so would be greatly appreciated. Any alternative suggestions to doing this outside of launchpad are also welcome. If there is an exposé app for example, I would be quite willing to go that route.
My main concern is being able to quickly (ie a touchpad gesture) expand all the open pages so I can bounce between them.
Much thanks from a loyal Apple friend.

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

Is there a way of stopping the battery from charging?

Dear Apple Community,
Recently I installed iStat Menus and found that, over the course of this year, my Macbook's charging capacity has dropped 5%. I know this isn't a massive number, but battery performance has become a concern for me. I use my Macbook as a desktop replacement, on the main. It's sitting on a mStand, connected to a large monitor on my desk. I use my Macbook to play games, surf the internet, do work and all that good stuff - basically, I use it for everything. I rarely use the Macbook without it being plugged in. I read on the Apple website that they do not recommend leaving the Macbook on charge permanently and that I should use it on battery at least one a month. As I use my Macbook as a desktop replacement, I don't actually have a lot of opportunity to do this.
My question to you, the community, is: is there a way of stopping the battery from charging, either with the use of an app or a physical device? Ideally, I would love to have my power plugged in BUT only used when the battery drops below 10%. Is this possible with an app?
On the other hand, am I just worrying about nothing? Will my battery be damaged further if I leave the Macbook charging permanently?
Thanks for your help!
Jeremy Reid

Ideally, I would love to have my power plugged in BUT only used when the battery drops below 10%. Is this possible with an app?
The charging characteristics are handled in firmware. There is no app that would be able to do this. You actually would not want to do this anyway. Regularly discharging your battery to 10% will greatly decrease the life of your battery. While it is true that you should not use your system exclusively plugged in, allowing it to run on battery a few hours a week should be fine. Letting the battery regularly run down to (or below) 10% will cause you to use up cycles more quickly than is necessary (thereby reducing the life of your battery). It's really a only a matter of disconnecting your Magsafe connector once in a while.
Leaving it plugged in does not result in it being charged "permanently". It will charge until it is full and then charging will stop. It will only begin recharging when it reaches about 95%.

Is there a way of making the Edge Commons parallax effect work smoothly with DPS on the iPad?

I want to create a feature for an iPad magazine utilising the parallax effect shown here...
Parallax Scrolling Made Easy (Adobe Edge Animate Online Week, Episode 9) - YouTube
I am using Digital Publishing Suite to publish to an iPad. I ran a test and the effect partially works, but not smoothly.
As you scroll down the animation does not play. Once you finish scrolling the animation then jumps to whichever point has been reached on the timeline, rather than animating as you scroll down the page.
Is there a way to get the same animation effect through DPS that you see in the browser? Or is it not compatible?
Thanks!

As lllaass said, you can't.
If you want Apple to add backgrounds to the iPad version, leave them feedback: http://apple.com/feedback/ipad.html.
