Can I disable the bounding box grab feature in Elements 10?

I'm a Photoshop user and recently bought Elements 10 for home use.
I'm normally not used to having grabable bounding boxes and I keep getting screwed up because I see the active layer, go to grab something (to move it for example) and then I accidently grab another layer because by touching an object in it it becomes active.
Is there a way to turn this feature off?
OR....can anyone help me use it more effectively and not get screwed up?
thanks,
bob

Hi,
Have you tried clearing the Auto select layer option?

How can I disable the touchpad right click feature?

I don't know how exactly, but I believe that on my Pavilion 15 laptop it is possible to right click by doing some weird tap thing on the touchpad. I only want to right click using the right click button and find it annoying when I try to use the touchpad to normal click but it right clicks instead.
When I go to the synaptics settings panel I can't see anything about disabling the right click on the touchpad feature. ANy idea how I can disable it? The touchpad is the same texture/look for all of it - I can't see or feel any designated right click zone. Thanks

Hi,
This depend on the make/model of your hardware, and, the software/drivers currently installed, the steps will vary.
For your model, i search the information from Lenovo website:
You could have a try. For more further information, i suggest you ask Lenovo support for help.

How can I disable the "forget this site" feature?

I meant to delete a page from my browser's history, and accidentally clicked on "forget this site." I cannot find any information online for undoing this action. I don't want my history to forget this site.

"Forget About This Site" will remove all the current content (e.g. bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, exceptions) that you have saved from a website.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
You can not recover the forgotten data unless you have a backup of the affected files in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]

Can you view text outside of the canvas? as with the view menu you can see animation paths, bounding boxes and handles??? many thanks

re: Motion 5
can you view text outside of the canvas? as when using the view menu you can see animation paths, bounding boxes and handles???
I'm in the middle of a text animation design treatment and unless my memory is completely failing I thought this was an option.
An example would be selecting all layers and being able to see all bounding boxes and animation paths while moving along the timeline.
Of course this could be quite a mess if you couldn't selectively chose which layers, its just with this current project it would be so helpful if
I could see the text beyond the canvas to aid in my animations.
many thanks,

thanks for both of your responses
I do understand shift + v " to "Show Full View Area" and shift + z to fill screen, etc.
and command + & - for zooming
what I'd like to do is selectively view, say, the text outside of the canvas as you can see the bounding box
which contains the text or object when selecting one or all layers in the layers column
I haven't used this feature in a while though I do recall using it in the past.
Any help would greatly appreciated
thanks,

How can I disable the system feature which automatically restarts applications i had open during a previous session ?

How can I disable the system feature which automatically restarts applications i had open during a previous session ?

When you log out, uncheck the box to reopen applications. If you're still using 10.7.3, then you will have to uncheck the back with each shutdown or restart.
10.7.4 update was suppose to fix it that when you uncheck the box, it should remain unchecked for restarts after that.

In photoshop elements 13, the bounding box is very light and hard to see. Can this be darkened?

When my wife first logs in, this is the screen that comes up:
So we hit "Continue" and the next screen comes up:
So then we click "This is Okay" and the next screen comes up:
It doesn't matter what we select here; the next screen is always the following:
And here is where it dead ends. There's no place to enter an alternate name under 40 characters, there's nothing to click on. And this has been happening every time my wife has tried to log in.

Can PB can calcute the bounding box as the needed region in AE?

Hi,
I wrote many small pixel bender that I use mainly in AE. However I need them to be as efficient as possible, so I wonder if Pixel Bender can obtain the bounding box of an image input as the needed region. This way, it will not calculate an entire frame when there is only a few pixels in the frame.
Thanks

Hi,
I did a major breakthrough by rethinking the model. Now I get a real speed improvment, and if the image is fully opaque, there is not too much drawback.
Instead of a simple bounding box, I'm creating a grid in which each cell represent a region of the source and is float4(1). if there is any non-zero transparent pixel. In the last kernel of the graph, i'm processing only when the corresponding value in the grid is float4(1.). I get really efficient results from that. I'm including two graphs. A basic one with a fixed grid of 16px (I didn't do any beanchmark for the grid size) where I output the original image composited over the scaled grid in green. The second one, where the last kernel is a box blur, the grid size equal the blur radius, and there is a convolution kernel between the grid and the box blur that expand the grid to fit the blur.

Why can't I see the bounding box for objects on the pasteboard?

Adobe CC sucks. Why last week was I able to see the bounding box of objects that I had on the pasteboard in InDesign CC, including objects that didn't contain anything yet, and now suddenly this week I can't see them?
It seems as though every week something inexplicably gets changed around. First Save As had no shortcut, then suddenly the shortcut is back, but it doesn't work.
Get it together Adobe. I don't want to be paying a subscription for a product that feels as though it's still in Beta mode.

Hi Steve,
Yes thanks, I don't think I was clear in what I wrote. I knew that they could be turned back on, but why did I open InDesign this morning to find my workspace/preferences different than how I left them on Friday?
And I know it isn't a case of my mistakenly turning off the frame edges, because the operator that sits next to me had the exact same thing happen to her copy of InDesign this morning also.
I understand the requirement to update things, but it really does feel as though I'm using software that is still in testing.

CS6 - Pattern making. How can I use a bounding box to define the pattern size?

I want to create a pattern in cs6. As in the previous versions of illustrator, I'd like to be able to use a bounding box to tell the computer where I want the pattern to start etc. In cs6 I can't seem to be able to do this. Once I hit 'make pattern' the bounding box is different and it becomes really difficult to define where I want the pattern to start. The pattern making part of illustrator seems to get confused and ends up throwing out my pattern completely. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Zehgut,
Create a nofill/nostroke rectangle where you want to have the boundaries, then move it down beneath the artwork in the Layers palette and include it in the swatch. That is the way to define the boudaries.

Can see the bounding box of the object present on the art-board but the colors of that object are not visible!!!! Why???

I have made some objects in 8-bit design style using rectangular grid tool.
I was working on the file, and i saved the file, and then illustrator crashed, and all the data in the 8 bit grid wasn't showing up, only the bounding boxes(rectangular-grid) of those 8-bit designed objects were present with no color/no fill.
I am attaching some screenshots and jpegs to show how it was before and how it is now.
Can somebody help me out in this?

Illustrator crashed when saving and most probably took some of your file with it.

How can I disable the Emergency Calls feature.

It is my understanding as well that it can't be, due to federal laws that 911 call must be available.
