Click and Drag feature to resize brush in PS 5

Besides using the bracket keys to resize brushes, you are supposed to be able to hold down the Alt and Control key to drag sideways to make a brush larger or up and down to make it softer. This is on Windows.
For some reason, when I do this command, my cursor changes to moving a selection and leaving a copy.
When I hold down just the Alt key, I get the eye dropper tool and when I hold down just the Control Key, I get the move - four way arrow.
I must have changed something in the keyboard shortcuts, but I don't see the option to change that command back. My Brush Resize shortcuts still work the the two bracket keys.
Any help would be appreciated.

Okay. I wasn't using the right mouse click as directed.

It seems to work fine with just the Alt-Right Mouse drag and no need for the Control key?
I was trying to program my Art Pen to use the commands on the front toggle button.
Thanks to all.

InDesign CS6 DPS click and Drag feature?

Hi
I was wondering if in inDesign CS6 it was possible to make a click and drag application. So when the application is playing on an ipad you can click and drag images around the screen freely?

Should be possible with an HTML5 widget.
For ADPS there is a special forum here:

Why can't I click and drag clone brush??

I'm working with a trial version of Aperture and trying to clone out a couple of annoying background details. When I use the clone tool, I cannot click and drag or "paint" with it. I only get a circular clone that is the diameter of the brush. I don't want to clone out the problem areas with a bunch of little circles! I want a smooth, painted cloned area. Is this possible with Aperture or do I need to go back to Photoshop....

OK--Think I finally discovered the issue. I'm using a trackball and keyboard setup from Euphonix that communicates with the Mac via Ethernet and TCP/IP. Aperture cannot deal with mouse strokes transmitted this way. If I switch to a USB mouse connected directly to the Mac, the brushes work normally. Still a disappointment since the Euphonix is my default keyboard/mouse and I don't really want to keep a separate USB mouse hooked up.....

Early today Alt, Ctr and Click and drag changed the brush size. Now it makes the move tool work. Anyone have this problem. I think Adobe had an update and put a bug in the program.

Which version of photoshop and operating system are you using?
windows:
Alt + right click + drag left or right
mac:
Control + Option + left click + drag left or right

I cant click and drag my photostream photos to pin them to my desk top with out them being very small and not being able to make notes in paint brush on them. I used to before the update.

I used to be able to open, click and drag photos from a photo stream folder, and pin them to my desk top. After the update my PC made me download icloud to my computer to access my photo stream pictures. Now if I go into my icloud photostream tab click and drag. It asks me if I trust the computer I am saving it to. If I click yes, it save this tiny picture to my desk top.
In order to accomplish what I need to do with the photos I have a few extra steps added to my perfect process. Has any body ran into this and do you know how to simplify this.
Thanks

1. If you break your post into paragraphs it is much easier to read.
2. I have no idea what your post is referring to, and how - if at all - it relates to iPhoto.
3. It's a good idea to re-read what you've posted, and ask yourself how it might look to someone who doesn't know you and doesn't know what's going on with your machine.

Click and drag Photoshop CC not working

I have used the click and drag brush resize frequently in various versions of Photoshop. Been editing images all day and not it's stopped working. Using IOS 10.8.

IOS 10.8? Do you mean MacOS 10.8? What version exactly?

Cant click and drag with one finger, but works with 3 fingers

Last week, my trackpad starts to fail. Thing is that i can't click and drag with one finger but if i turn on the 3 finges option, i can tap and drag without a problem Check the prefs, universal access too. And everything is ok.
Reset pram, smc , run & fix permissions but nothing.
Looking around the internet i found a possible hint and is related to a bad battery condition. But that post talks a physical defective battery. Mine last like 2 hours.Under the battery icon in the finder it saids tha should be replace soon. Macbook pro late 2008. 4 gb ram , 500 gb hd, 10.7.3
Any suggestions??

It sounds like an accessibility feature, although I'm not 100% sure. You can explore the accessibility settings if you like, or for a quick fix you can try going into Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings.

Why can't I adjust the scale of my text by clicking and dragging the corner boxes?

Why can't I adjust the scale of my text by clicking and dragging the corner boxes? Why I have the text selected, all it does it let me highlight it to change font, size, etc, OR all I can do is move it throughout the artboard. Why can I click and drag the corner box to adjust?

It's because you have a paragraph text box and it doesn't automatically resize text. This way you can change the margins of the text without resizing it which is how paragraph text functions by default.
I'm not seeing the new text paragraph/area indicator on your text box, which is what you get in Illustrator CC, so the only way to convert this text so you can resize it by dragging on the corners is to copy the text, deselect the text box, use the text tool to click once in another part of your document, and then paste the text. The text will then come into your document as one long line if you don't have hard returns in it, but after reflowing the text manually you'll be able to drag the corners to resize the text.
I would recommend not going this route as any text you remove from the area type means that the rest of the text has to be manually adjusted to maintain correct margins. Instead just resize the bounds of the paragraph text and adjust the size of the font in the Character panel.

Trackpad click and drag workaround

The click feature of my trackpad is broken. To click on a button I would tap, but to click and drag, I have no workaround. Please help. Thanks.

The one you mentioned is the "Two Finger Drag" I am asking if the "Three Finger Drag" would work for you or if you even tried it? It allows you to select a file and drag it anywhere. Even to another folder.
As a side note you mentioned your click feature is "broken?" Is there no physical click? If so you may have to check your battery if it is bulging and impeding the trackpad. This is a good start to take a look if your battery is the one physically impeding the trackpad.

Command+click and drag to select multiple files

Hi everyone,
I switched about a year ago and recently joined this group. I love OS X and will never go back to windoze, however after recently upgrading to Tiger, I went to command+click and drag to select multiple files in order to drag them to the trash, all I succeeded in doing was to drop one file into the next folder down. Did I miss a check box somewhere, or something. It feels like windoze now, having to command+click individual files to select more than one, or use the edit menu to "select all".
I'm not going back to Panther just to get back this feature I miss, and was hoping there is a way to get it to work in Tiger, any suggestions?

You might find this easy to do in column view:
1. Select a group of contiguous files by clicking on the first, then hold down the shift key and click on the last one you want, all files between first and last will be selected.
2. To add an odd file here and there to the group hold down the command key and click on the file.
Thus you can quickly select an entire group in the middle with click/shift click, then add additional files individually to the selected group.

Double-click and drag don't open image files

Hi,
I'm having problems loading images in Preview and Adobe apps (CS1).
From Finder, I can double click to open an image in Preview but it only opens the first image, and won't load more than one. I've tried changing the preferences to "open groups of images in the same window" or "open all images in one window." Neither solve the problem.
My adobe apps won't open a file when I double click it from the finder at all. I have to use the "open" command from within the application to open an image file.
I am a designer and photographer trying to browse groups of images at once and this is driving me crazy! I have tried copying over different preference files from my old computer (a powerbook G4), and I'm wondering if I either failed to copy the right one or copied something that is interfering with the shortcut actions.
The interesting part is, that the same actions are working fine for other kinds of files -- for example, I can open multiple word documents by double clicking their icons in Finder.
Any suggestions appreciated. Thank you.
Amy Hengst

Hi Amy
What kind of files are these? If I wanted to open multiple images in Preview (be they BMP, JPEG, PSD, whatever) I would select them and drag onto the Preview icon in the Dock which opens the first image in a single window with the remaining images in a 'thumbnail drawer' to the right (like you get with big PDF documents).
On the other hand if I double-click, 10 to 1 it would launch Photoshop which I use as an image editor only, not an image manager or viewer. You can of course change the application which any document uses to open it, with the Get Info window. But if you use more than one application (as I do - PS to edit, Preview to just view), then click-and-drag onto the Dock might be your best bet.

On OSX 10.5.8 and I can't cut & paste or click and drag, HELP!

Hi all,
Please help! I can no longer click and drag icons or cut and paste. I'm running OSX 10.5.8 on an '07 macbook, and I really do not want to loose everything, is there a solution??? At the same time I have had a little trouble with the net and downloading files.
Is there a fix?? I'm desparate

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
