Can't select Subtract Front Shape from Path Operations

In Lesson 8, p. 186 of Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Release, Classroom in a Book, I can't uncheck New Layers and Re-check Subtract Front Shape in the Path Operations Pop-Up Menu. Help!
Thank you so much.

I believe this is a bug in the software. But if you click "Subtract Front Shape," once you use the pen tool to select Point A, you'll see that the icon for "Subtract Front Shape" appears in the options bar. It drove me nuts trying to figure this out, but that's what the "solution" was for me. If you think about it, you can't really set an option on a shape until the shape is initially created, so that's probably why the option doesn't show up until you click a point. The book's errata should be updated to mention this.

  • Subtract Front Shape after drawing the shapes?

    Hi,
    i can't figure out how to subtract the front shape from two already drawn shapes. I can draw a shape, choose "Subtract Front Shape" from the menu and then draw the second shape. But what if the two shapes are already there and i wanna subtract the front shape from the other. Please don't tell me, thats it's not possible ...
    Mario

    Fireworks (and any other simple drawing application) is also able to do that. Why not Photoshop? It's the same like rounded rectangles. There's no possibility to change the radius (or to subtract shapes in this case) after drawing. Every time i try to use Photoshop as a replacement for Fireworks in webdesign i discover a new problem like this. Very disappointing.

  • How can I select pages to print from a Word document using the report generation 'print report' vi?

    I have researched the knowledge base and found:
    Printing A Range of Pages or Number of Copies of a Report Using the Report Generation Toolkit in LabVIEW.
    This seems to be from a previous version of LV. I am using LV2010. The instructions given do not match up with the current vi. The information did provide a tip and drilling down into  the vi I was able to insert the from/to page numbers at the printout invoke method, however this prevents the print function from working in that it can no longer find the default printer.
    The error message is:
    Error 1015 occurred at NI_ReportGenerationToolkit.lvlib:Word_Print.vi -> NI_Word.lvclassrint Report.vi ->
    error 1015 is: Printer is not responding. Check printer configuration.
    Any ideas how I can make the modification to print, for example, pages 24 through 29 out of a 32 page word document?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hello, take a look at this article. Unfortunately the Generate Report Get Data to Modify.vi was remove since RGT 1.1.3 release. That being said, we can try to find a workaround. See "Configuring a Printer Through the Windows Dialog in LabVIEW", open the GetPrinterSettings.vi, at the PrinterSettings property node you can select the from/to page. I hope this helps.

  • How can we select the highest value from 3 disfferent #defined values???

    Hello,
    Sometimes I come across the requirement of having the program automatically select the highest value
    among several defined preprocessor command statements. For example:
    #include "stdio.h"
    #include <math.h>
    #define _K_BUF_OTHERS 20
    #define _k_BUF_ENV_TAGS 30
    #define _k_BUF_REGS 40
    #define _k_MAX(x, y, z) (max((max(x, y)), z))
    int main(){
    unsigned int u;
    u = _k_MAX(_k_BUF_OTHERS,_k_BUF_ENV_TAGS, _k_BUF_REGS);
    return 0;
    In the sample above we have three (3) different define statements called :
    _k_BUF_OTHERS
    _k_BUF_ENV_TAGS
    _k_BUF_REGS
    but at any given time in certain C modules (In this case above, the main.c module) I require for the program to know
    which of the three is the highest and get that highest value so I can use it downstream of my code. In this case the highest would be 40. So therefore putting the following macro anywhere in my code should make a text substitution of the macro's value
    and return 40 to u:
    u = _k_MAX(_k_BUF_OTHERS, _k_BUF_ENV_TAGS, _k_BUF_REGS);
    But I can't even compile the program!
    Here's the error I get in VC++:
    1>------ Build started: Project: MinMax, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
    1>  Source1.cpp
    1>c:\c++_tests\minmax\minmax\source1.cpp(15): error C3861: 'max': identifier not found

    ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
    Can someone please have a look and see what I am doing wrong.
    All help appreciated...
    Thanks

    So implement or #define one. C standard library doesn't provide a function named "max".

  • Can you select a specific item from a listbox via scripting?

    This seems like it should be easy, but I've spent quite a few hours trying to figure this out, to no avail.  I'm trying to create a button that would automatically select a specific item on a listbox.  I though "selectedIndex" would do the trick, but this seems to only work if the user actually selects a specific item on a listbox.  I'm looking for the opposite effect, where a person will push a button where a specific item on the listbox gets selected.
    Any help would be much appreciated...thanks!

    You can use the setItemState method for this purpose.
    To select the third item use:
    ListBox.setItemState(2, 1);

  • Can't selectively install one app from fcs2

    Why can't I just reinstall Motion? I've deleted the app & the .pkg files. All the other apps are selected & greyed out when I try to just install Motion. The message I get states that there is an older version of FCS (or whatever) installed...it is actually a newer version. Is it possible to just install one app under these conditions?
    Thanks,
    Mike McPhail

    Ahhh! Got it. I must log in as Admin and run Pacifist on the FCS Install disk. I found the Motion app there & it would let me install it as Admin. Just entering the admin password in my user account didn't work.
    Thanks everyone!

  • Can not select from data dictionary view from a procedure

    Hi,
    I wonder, which privilege is missing here:

    thanks for any hint, Lao De

    Hi,
    thanks for that reply, after doing that I can not select this DD-view from sql-prompt anymore (which I don't wonder ;-). Can you tell me, what idea you had behind that test ?
    I found another instance, where the procedure works and I will compare those privileges, but it's hard to sort out that complex structure of nested roles and sys_privs.
    How ever, I will update here, when I found the missing privilege.
