Move tool "Show transform controls" with a type layer

I just recently figured this "show transform controls" option with the Move Tool and while trying it out, I noticed it works differently with type layers than others.
On regular bitmap layers it moves, resizes and rotates as supposed, but with type layer it jumps to "free transform" -function when trying to do anything with the transform controls. Causing the tool to drop and the anchor points change place (from text outline to text box?).
Is this normal behaviour or is there something I don't get?

Yes, being able to assign shortcuts to UI elements would be a major productivity jump in several cases! I tought that it
was the advantage of the object-oriented programming, but I my coding abilities stop at "20 go to 10"...

  • Show Transform Controls. KEYBOARD SHORTCUT PLEASE ANYONE!!!

    I use Photoshop CS5/3 for Drawing and creative art. Hense I measure up images using the awesome 'Show Transform Control' Option Command, whilst in the Move Tool. But im SICK of having to CHECK AND UNCHECK the box. Please somebody tell me where I can find a Keybaord Short Cut Option in the Keybaord Short Cut and Menus Section.
    Thank you.

    Ive kind of answered my own question.
    Keep the 'Show Transform Control' box checked all the time. When 'Show Transform Control' BOUNDING BOX starts getting on your nerves, press: Ctrl + H to HIDE the slections on screen! Dont forget to press Cntrl H to get it back when you switch to other tools.
    Hopes this helps speed the job up.

  • "Show Transform Controls" Equivalent in Flash CS4? + Other Questions

    Hi everyone.
    I've been using Adobe Flash CS3 & CS4, and I still find it ridiculously hard to navigate around that Program sometimes, mainly when I have to deal with a Pre-made Flash website that needs Editing.
    Allot of people Label layers, Symbols, etc... poorly, so it's hard to find your way around.
    I would like to know if these is any Equivalent of "Show Transform Controls" (from Adobe Photoshop), in Adobe Flash CS4.
    I have loads of Layers to deal with, and the only way I can get to edit the Layer, is by double clicking on them, then I go to it's timeline and settings.
    Most of the times I can't even see some of these Layers/Buttons, as they appear invisible on the Stage/Preview Screen.
    How can I more easily Work with my Layers in Flash CS4?
    It would be allot easier, if I could click on the Layer in the Pallet, and see an outline of where it is on the Stage.
    Or if I could edit the settings of a Layer, by clicking something in the Layers Palette.
    I am also trying to figure out how I can change the color of an image to Black/White, I only know how to do this with the Motion Tween Option, that gradually changes the color over those given seconds. I don't want an animation, just permanent color change.
    Also when I am moving a Object in one layer,
    when I exit and view a different layer, I see that the "Shared" object also moved there too, which I do not want.
    Is there any way to unlink these by chance?
    Is any of this possible?
    Please reply soon someone.
    Thanks,
    -Andrew

    [Note]: "View layer as outlines" Does not help me to see where those "Invisible" layers are.

  • Is their a fix for photoshop elements 11 move tool? Not working with Yosemite OS upgrade.

    Is their a fix for photoshop elements 11 move tool? Not working with Yosemite OS upgrade.

    Hi,
    We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
    We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
    In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
    1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
    2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
    Plug-in installation instructions:
    1. Close Photoshop Elements
    2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
    3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
    • For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    • For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
    Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
    If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
    Hope this helps!

  • CS13 ----- will it show only parts with procurement type F ?

    Hi,
    I have a basc issue
    when we execute CS13 it summarises teh BOm and show the Bom component and  quantity .
    will it show only parts with procurement type F ?
    when we execute CS13 for a finished product , its not displaying all the BOM components , the list is displaying only few
    what might be the reason
    will it show the parts only directly linked to it at the first level ?
    regards,
    madhu kiran.

    Hi,
    CS13 shows summarize BOM that mean it leaves out all the intermediate BOMs(sub assemblies) and displays on the end components.  End component need not have procurement type F.
    It will display End components in the any level.
    To simply cross check, in CS12 add colum Assembly indicator and filter only those components having blank value. You will get report displayed as that of CS13.

    If you open the recovery drive (partition) it should only have a single folder (Recovery).
    To make sure that your not saving restore points to that drive.
    See:
    Start, Control Panel, System, System Protection tab. Make sure the D drive partition is set to OFF so that it does not save there.

  • Hyperlink showing blue underline with white type

    I have a website that has two hyperlinks on the home page of my site. The one links to a webpage the other to a downloadable pdf. Both have white type and are supposed to have a white underline. The link that links to the webpage is correct but the one that links to a pdf keeps showing as white type with a blue underline. I have tried copy and pasting from the correct one but as soon as I link to the pdf instead of a hyperlink it goes to a blue underline again. Note it only changes the underline blue.... I can change the type to white again easily. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

    Hi,
    In the authorization form area, you appear to have two links: a text hyperlink to http://www.therecordsco.com/assets/trc-authorization-form.pdf as well as a text frame hyperlink to https://ipn.intuit.com/pay/TheRecordsCompany. I am guessing the latter was unintentional. Could you select the Authorization Form text frame (not the contained text, but the frame itself), delete this hyperlink and try again?
    Thanks,

  • Trouble Syncing Movies/TV Shows in iTunes with iPad 2

    I have read serveral posts on here with similar questions, however, none of the responses have resolved my issue.
    I am having trouble loading movies and TV shows from my MacBook Air to my iPad 2. 
    I have a MacBook Air (running 10.7.2 with iTunes 10.5.1).   I am unable to sync certain movies and TV shows to my iPad (running iOS 5.0.1).  These are files purchased from the iTunes Store.  There is also a 27" iMac and MacBook Pro associated with my Apple ID. 
    Syncing the device yields an error message reading "Some of the items in the iTunes library, inlcuding "The Help", were not copied to the iPad "DGaken's iPad" because you are not authorized for them on this computer.  To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, chose Store > Auhtorize This Computer."
    Files that have been affected include recently purchased movies and TV episodes (including "The Help, a season pass of "Parks & Recreation, and "30 Minutes or Less."  Each file was purchased in iTunes using the same Apple ID.  When I click on "My Account" in the iTunes Store and click the "Manage Devices" on the iCould tab I can see that my iPad 2 is listed as a device associated with my Apple ID.  I have confirmed (by clicking on the actual file in iTunes and click "Get Info") that the files are associated with my Apple ID.
    Now, for the TV episodes I am able to visit the iTunes store on my iPad and click "buy" on them, then it informs me that I have already purchased this item and asks if I want to download it again.  For movies it does let me know that I have previously purchased the item, but instead it offers me the opportunity "Buy Item Again?"
    I have also clicked "Deauhorize All Computers" in the iTunes store and re-authorized each device and computer. 
    It should also be noted that I recently changed my Apple ID (form a .edu address to a Gmail account as my .edu server was unable to work with iCloud).  There seems to be no correlation between which items. 
    Please advise!

    I have the exact same problem. I've tried all the trouble shooting that was suggested by the people I spoke with at the Genius Bar, Apple Care, and iTunes, but nothing has worked and no one seems to know how to resolve this issue. To their suprise, all of my devices have been activated (then deactivated and re-activated twice) for this account and all movies were purchased with the same account via iTunes, yet I still get the same error message that you get. I was also told to delete the movie file from my computer and redownload it and sync again, but that also did not work.
    I've even tried downloading movies via icloud directly to my iPad as a temporary work around. This works, but when I sync my iPad again to my computer, I get the error message again and the movie is automatically erased from my device. Please let me know if you were able to resolve the issue, I don't know where else to turn and I'm tired of explaining this on the phone to everyone!!! Mahalo.

  • Showing tranformation controls, Adobe Photoshop CS2, Mac Tiger

    The 'show transformation controls' are checked but the controls do not display. Going to Edit - transform - ...... they will display, but then disappear again and do not show on re selecting with the move tool.
    This has only just started to happen on the Mac and does not correspond to any upgrades or new software and has been working fine since the installation of CS2 quite some time ago.
    Cathy

    Try trashing your preferences?
    (Hold down the Shift+Option+Command keys AS you launch Photoshop. You'll get a little dialog to delete your settings.)

  • Move tool again

    I'm sorry but the move tool isn't working again.  I have a blue background layer and a text layer.  Neither of the layers are locked.  When I'm on the background layer the handles on the move tool appear but they don't appear on the text layer.  I need to resize the text layer,

    If I understand you well you want a bigger or smaler Font (Letter Size) if so then go to Window and on the dropdown menu click on Character.
    Noww double click on the T in the square in the layers palette and change whatever you want in the Character Palette.
    Perhaps this is your problem: Go to the Move tool and then select the text layer (click on an empty space to the rigght of the T box. select or deselect "Show Transform Controls".in the Optios bar like John sayd. Hope this helps

  • Move tool in Photoshop CS5 on MacBook Pro

    I am trying to move one photo into another in Photoshop CS5. Instead of being able to to drag one tab overtop of the other to put one photo in a layer over another, the tab I am trying to drag snaps back into place. This is really frustrating. I have restarted Photoshop, restarted my Mac, closed all my other apps and even deleted actions I have installed to no avail.  I have searched for other suggested solutions. Someone suggested making sure 'show transform controls' was checked, but it did not make a difference in my case. I am using a brand new MacBook Pro.

    You could just abandon tabbed view if you are non accustomed to it yet.
    Your phrasing
    the tab I am trying to drag snaps back into place.
    sound like you might be trying to drag a tab instead of a Layer onto another file.

  • Move tool and command key in photoshop 2014.2 is driving me mad

    Hi all,
    I'm extremely frustrated with the new move tool in the 2014.2 update. I can no longer able to isolate a selected layer and move it about by holding down command key. Instead every time by holding down command key (while move tool is selected), it'll toggle between layer and group selection. So when you drag, instead of just moving the isolated layers, it'll toggle group and drag the entire group.
    Does anyone know how can I revert this back to the good old days or how do I revert back to 2014.1 version.
    Many thanks

    I was greeted with the same frustration this morning. Talked to a coworker and found a way around the update.
    Turn OFF auto-select (I know, it’s a bummer)
    Command click layers on your canvas -OR- just select the subfolders and multiple layers in the layers palette.
    Drag those selected multiple layers around (no need to hold any key down or aim mouse over layers)
    To deselect layers, command click outside canvas
    Looks like the update is forcing us to press “Command” PRIOR (instead of during) the move action. Hope it helps, coworker said not using auto-select prevent him to move things by accident.

  • Move Tool Auto-Select Group/Layer Toggle?

    Hi:
    I regularly use the Move Tool's Options palette Auto-Select Group functionality. I've not been able to find any reference to a keyboard shortcut for being able to temporarily toggle from auto-selecting Group to Layer. It seems to me that it would be a useful shortcut.
    As it is, the user must select "Layer" in the drop-down menu in the Options palette. It would be much quicker if a keyboard shortcut enabled this toggling.
    I've noticed thatwhile the Auto-Select option is set to Groupyou can hold the command key and right-click a layer (with the Move cursor) within a group and it will be selected in the Layer panel. At this point, you can move the selected layer using the arrow keys, but not with the Move cursor. It would be really slick if the Move tool cooperated and allowed moving the selected layer.
    Is there some shortcut or technique I'm missing that would approximate this functionality?
    -john

    You f#*kers have to take into consideration all use cases! A lot of people work with auto-select. How can you just change certain functionalities like this!
    This wasn't a problem in older CS4/ 5. This has a direct impact on my productivity! 
    Please fix this **** ASAP! I paid a butt load of money to get CC license so it can help me improve & work more efficiently not to deal with such ****** issues.
